I'm so done with this planet
she saved two lives and all they care about is her nipple.
this is sexism, my friends.
This is just fucking ridiculous! I'm sure the last thing she gave a shit about was her nipple coming out while she was SAVING HER CHILD AND THEIR NANNY!
Gotta love he fact that the story is about the nip slip and not the rescue. The rescue is just an afterthought.
this is so disgusting

Carlos and Jason Sanchez create images that surpass the need for photographic veracity. Acting as cinematographers and set designers, the artists use mise-en-scène to stage eerie tableaus that evoke a frisson of psychological uncertainty. The large and consuming scale of their work encourages the viewer to step into the witness role of their hyper-real drama.
Artists Michele Grinstead and Nancy O'Connor pay homage to the psychic energy they felt in the historic town of Victoria in south Texas in the multi-media Marking Timeproject. On view at HCP is a section of the work titled Exxon Truck Stop/Immigrant Memorial Site, an elegy to the 19 illegal immigrants who were asphyxiated in 2003 while trappedin the back of a truck bound for Houston. Containing photography, video and sculpture, the artists' project comments on one of the most horrific tragedies in U.Simmigration history; lamenting the plight of those wishing for a better life, and the fallen desire to achieve the "American dream."

Come Nov. 6, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of your country - a country that can return to a shining star on a hill with a hopeful future or an exhausted star where the future is fading and brightness is gone.
Over 200 years ago our forefathers founded a nation that has been the envy of the world.
Where individuals from other countries waited in line to become American citizens. Where freedom and opportunity existed for all, regardless of your religion, family or your personal beliefs.
Where hard work and education was rewarded with a higher standard of living. Where kings, czars, emperors, tyrants, dictators and heritage did not cast your lot for life.
Basically, you made your future in America.
This has been the trend from the founding of our country, except for a few deviations along the way. These aberrations occurred during the Great Society, the present administration and the administration before that.
In recent years we moved toward socialism and away from our Founding Fathers' principles. Over the years, with our Bill of Rights, Constitution, and leaders who governed under these laws, America became a powerhouse - a powerhouse in world respect, freedom, economic development and a champion of freedom around the world.
We fought two world wars to rescue the other nations of the world from tyrants and dictators. Not for our glory, but to preserve the freedoms of the other democratic nations.
Can you imagine our country fighting a world war today with our manufacturing base destroyed and the little we have located in foreign lands?
One of our great presidents, Abraham Lincoln, said American government should be government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Today our government can best be defined as government by the government, of the government and for the government.
What has more government brought us?
Eight percent unemployment and probably another 8 percent that is not counted, having given up looking for a job. A debt that cripples our economy and a future that saddles our youth for life.

"Hello ladies."
Perhaps you remember the viral advertisement where Isaiah Mustafa of the impeccable pecs encouraged women to "look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me" and then, accordingly, buy Old Spice so their men could "smell like he's me."
The advertisement's self-aware ribbing of the gulf between the clichéd perfect man and the ordinary guy was cheeky and hilarious, but a sign of the times? With E L James' adult novel Fifty Shades of Grey still dominating the New York Times bestseller list, I'm starting to wonder. Because though many have marvelled at the runaway success of the erotic novel, its popularity isn't at all surprising given our collective enthusiasm for romance as a genre - featuring, of course, a male romantic hero against whom men in real life simply cannot compare.
Clearly, romance alone doesn't explain the astonishing success of Fifty Shades of Grey. There's also the BDSM-style hijinks between billionaire and control freak Christian Grey and naïve literature student Anastasia Steele.
Their explicit encounters have marked the book as particularly risqué and sent many curious readers thumbing through its pages for a glimpse into boutique sexual thrills that normally drift below the gaze of the mainstream. But when you strip away all the window-dressing kink of the novel - and apparently, the two sequels let up on all that spanking - all that's left is the familiar romantic fantasy of love that makes a bad man good.
Such romantic fantasy also underwrites Twilight, from which Fifty Shades of Grey sprang to life as a work of fan fiction that re-wrote the chaste relationship between Twilight's Bella Swan and Edward Cullen before E L James recast the two characters as Ana and Grey. The romantic drama of Twilight kicks into gear with vampire Edward's obsession with Bella, accompanied by his repeated warnings for her to stay away from him because he might, you know, kill her. Fifty Shades of Grey rehashes this detail with Christian offering similar advice to Ana.
Obviously, such warning is futile: Bella and Ana aren't put off by the reluctance of these demi-gods - Edward the vampire in Twilight and Christian the billionaire in Fifty Shades of Grey - to get involved with mere mortals. And so embarks the romantic fantasy catnip of both novels: meaningful glances are exchanged, loaded conversations prevail, and the romantic tension builds and builds until Fifty Shades' Ana and Grey give in to repeated rounds of slap and tickle and a fat diamond gets planted on Bella's ring finger when she weds Edward in Twilight.
Ana goes on to receive a slew of increasingly extravagant gifts from Christian, and Bella gets to live forever in nuptial bliss as a wealthy, well-dressed vampire. True love, in short, triumphs.
To put it mildly, novels such as Fifty Shades of Grey and its sire Twilight frequently blur the line between romance and the ridiculous. But this is key to their appeal, for they afford women the luxury of rolling their eyes at the farce (and the clunky prose) while frantically flicking over to the next page to find out what happens next. Such novels are a guilty pleasure to read for they are unapologetic about telling a story geared towards women's romantic needs and desires.
Not that this is a surprise to anyone. Stephanie Meyer admitted openly of the Twilight saga, "I just wanted to write for myself, a fantasy. And that's what Edward is." Meanwhile E L James has joked that Fifty Shades of Grey is her "midlife crisis, writ large… All my fantasies, out there." This female claim to fantasy and the pure enjoyment of it is why, presumably, many fans of the book have described the experience of reading it as 'liberating'.
And yet it remains a slightly awkward fact that we have little tolerance for fantasies often favoured by men - like porn. There's good reason for that too, for much porn directed at heterosexual men sexualises male dominance and objectifies women's bodies.
But romance is its own kind of female porn, and one that peddles a particular fantasy - including the idea that blissful coupledom is the be all and end all and that everyone worth anything ends up 'happily ever after'. This kind of porn isn't just a fixture of Mills & Boon novels but also found in Jane Austen's work, Disney's fairytales, The Notebook, and romantic comedies since the dawn of the genre.
Even more recent romcoms that appear to challenge the reigning ideal of the committed love relationship by showing us men and women enjoying casual sexual affairs - like No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits - are love stories in disguise.
Yet romance, unlike conventional porn aimed at men, is often dismissed as harmless fun and enjoys a level of social acceptability of which porn aimed at men can only dream. The term 'chick flick' is as derisive as it gets for romance, which is mild by comparison to some of the things that get said about porn.
It seems churlish to take issue with women getting off on romance porn when it is so tame in comparison with that produced with straight men in mind. But while one seems much nicer than the other, the issue with both is not so much what they depict - whether that's naked bodies having sex, or innocent, tender moments that seem the very antithesis of porn - but the posture they encourage towards the world and others.
Porn for guys and romance porn for women - or even books like Fifty Shades of Grey that drink deep from the wells of both - construe pleasure and fulfilment as on-demand experiences that prioritise individual sexual or romantic needs. Both kinds of porn, then, depict a world where personal desire is paramount and in which other people exist as a means to an end, and not an end in and of themselves. At base, there is not a great deal of difference between the male romantic hero who satisfies the heroine's every sexual, consumer, romantic, and emotional needs and the female porn star who just lives to please her man sexually and really, really loves having him do that to her.
The vision of the world depicted in both kinds of porn is a far cry from the real stuff of love that requires a whole lot of compromise and for each party to sacrifice their individual needs when it comes to their most intimate relationships. Dare I say - in lieu of the firestorm of late - that for love to last requires men and women both to 'submit' to each other? If that's the case, then it's ironic that the S&M-inflected Fifty Shades of Grey offers the reverse of this kind of submission because it's too busy escaping from reality into fantasy where selfish desire runs riot.
Maybe it's easier for men and women both to seek refuge in fantasy - whether that's provided by conventional porn or romance porn, its starry-eyed equivalent. But even E L James knows the limits of the make-believe. Maybe women fantasise about someone as mysterious, brooding and handsome as Christian, she concedes, "But I think in real life, it's very, very different. You want someone who does the dishes."

I can live with the hypergamy of Fifty Shades and TV shows like Winners and Losers (the female characters all out weigh their on screen "boyfriends" by quite a bit). It is the power imbalances in much media that I cannot stand. No male character in Home and Away or Neighbours ever wins an argument with a female character.
HowManyShoesDoYouNeed says:
"much porn directed at heterosexual men sexualises male dominance and objectifies women's bodies"
Yeah, and Twilight like, totally doesn't because all the women there are bought with money instead. Edward's garage is overflowing with fancy cars. Even Mills & Boon novels are notorious for being filled with stories of "the rich prince", "the billionaire", "the millionaire" all wooing their prey with great big gobs of cash and an aura of importance.
Notice how not even one of these poor blokes is ever strapped for cash.
All those novels serve to do is objectify men as the money supply for the girl's shoe collection.
AdamV says:
I love that people who write so knowledgeably about "porn" just lump it all into the one big mess where women are men's playthings. That is one particular genre. There is also gay porn, lesbian porn, porn where women are cruel dominatrixes, couples porn, women-alone porn, men-alone porn…the list is near endless. Check the internet if you want. "Porn" is not all about men treating women with callous disregard. Anybody with a libido or an imagination knows that human sexuality is a hell of a lot more nuanced than that.
The writer is correct in saying that fantasy is selfish. That's the whole damn point. Even if you're fantasising about submission, it's a submission that belongs to you, and that caters to your particular desire for dominance. But for the love of God - most people, or at least most I know, can TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY. It's called being a grown-up.

"And yet it remains a slightly awkward fact that we have little tolerance for fantasies often favoured by men - like porn. There's good reason for that too, for much porn directed at heterosexual men sexualises male dominance and objectifies women's bodies. "
Could it be that this is what men fantasise about? You know, seeing as we're visual creatures and all? I think it's a slightly awkward fact that it is feminism which seeks to demonize men for their sexualities and which seeks to perpetuate cultural intolerance for the medium through which men seek sexual outlet.
Nathan Explosion says:
Ugh, I wish people would stop buying and reading that crap.
Not only is it terribly written, it is not at all a healthy representation of a BDSM relationship.
As a friend of mine said, "This offends me as a librarian and a pervert".
Anonymous says:
Don't women always complain about men always wanting sex? Why is 50 Shades so popular then? Is it because Christian Grey is rich?
Asrael Goldwing says:
I have cancer. My prognosis was 5 years-2 years ago. My first hubby of whom I am still quite fond, fathered my first 3 daughters but never had to take any responsibility for the household. That's the advantage of being a field soldier. You're never home so wifey just cops the lot and when they are home, they're just in the way! Not romantic at all.
My current husband was the kind of guy who floated through life moving from romance to romance and when real life got in the way, he'd move on. Then he met me.
Now he is stuck with me dying of cancer and a daughter who is only 12. He finds it hard to keep going (as I do) some days. But he does. He works, he looks after me, he gardens and builds and cleans and just keeps us going. That's love. That's the most romantic relationship, ever!
Chris L says:
Thank you Justine! I couldn't express how frustrating it is to read and hear judgement and derision from women toward men regarding our sexuality, only to have those same women celebrate female sexuality.
It is somewhat cathartic to hear from a woman who recognises that the female perspective is not the only acceptable perspective.
Anonymous says:
If 50 Shades' male lead wasn't a handsome looking billionaire who showered the female in gifts, and was instead an average-looking tradie in slight financial difficulty, 50 Shades would be billed as a story about a despicable sociopath rapist who made his girlfriend endure his routine physical and psychological abuse.
Ally says:
I think the crazy sales are, in part, due to people buying a copy of the first to see what all the fuss is about. I read somewhere that the take up rates for the second book is somewhere around the 50 per cent mark, with even less for the third. Still phenomenal when you're talking of sales in the millions, but if the story was engaging or the writing quality you would expect a better sales rate for the sequels.
Also, I find it really disturbing that anyone would categorise this book, or Twilight, as romance. Sure, women's romantic fiction is generally populated by commanding and powerful men, but Grey and Edward are nuts. They're controlling, stalking, jealous psychos that attatch themselves to these plain mousey women and start molding them in to what they want. The female leads are pathetic, with no personality and no sense of self worth outside of their boyfriends. If a friend of mine ever said she wanted a boyfriend just like Edward or Grey, I would be seriously disturbed.
TheHuntress says:
Why oh why are people still reading this? I don't understand how people can read "50 Shades of Grey" (I've only read exerpts, couldn't do it to myself) when there are far better books out there. "Delta of Venus", "Story of O", "Emmanuelle" or "The Sexual Life of Catherine M.". Erotic literature is a beautiful thing when done well and is not all about impossibly handsome, rich men and pretty, vulnerable girls.
Time for modern 'erotica' to grow up. Perhaps take some lessons from translated works written earlier last century. Modern day 'explicitness' just doesn't cut it.
sami says:
The similarities between 50 shades and twilight are because 50 shades was twilight fanfiction. They changed the names, published it and people went nuts. Moving on.
My friend was going on about it and lent me the books, but after taking weeks to even get that far, I finally stopped reading halfway into the first book. It is utter garbage and easily the worst book I've ever read. If you can get past the shit writing I don't know how you can get past the shit characters. Anastasias bloody 'inner goddess' harping on all the time and christians complaints about her biting her lip and not eating her food just give me the shits. If a guy tried to boss me around that much I'd tell him to jog on. I don't see how it's 'romantic' but I guess we all have our desires. Personally I think my boyfriend was romantic when he went on a servo run to get me panadol and a paddlepop one night. And I reckon if anyone was really that keen on bdsm they should be reading/participating in the real stuff, not this tripe.
The success of it is just due to all the sheep jumping on the bandwagon… the problem will be solved when people learn to think for themselves and not just like stuff for the sake of liking it. It's a big part of society these days, all these notions of romance and old fashioned traditions, like taking husbands last name when you get married. Far out. I know I'm not the only woman that can't get on board with this stuff but I sure am in the minority.
PS- the worst thing about this are the baby outfits I've seen that say 'im here cos my mummy read 50 shades of grey' or something- wtf?!
End of incoherent rant.
Meh says:
If you can tell the difference between fantasy and reality then there is absolutely nothing wrong with being immersed in the 50 shades / twilight / Mills & Boom, just as there is nothing wrong with people looking at naked people. Whatever rocks your boat.
Your fantasy world is your own, you have full control of what happens, what you want to share and what you want to keep to yourself. That is not being selfish, expecting your partner to live 100% of their lives as part of yours demanding every shred of romantic or intimate thought be given over, that is selfish.
There are fantasies that many people only want to keep to themselves as often when you try to make fantasy a reality, it is impossible for the real world to live up to it.

Piece of Junk
This is the absolute worst idea and the worst purchase I have ever made. The blades are not sharp enough to cut through the soft meat of a peach. I tried using this and by the time I was into the skin the peach was a piece of mush on the countertop. Totally disappointed....total waste of money.
I recently became aware of your product and thought I'd like to give it a try. I was more than pleased with the way it sliced Nectrines and Peaches.
What a good idea!!!!I recommend this product. -
Peach Wedger/Pitter
This tool is the greatest. I don't know why I didn't purchase one a long time ago. The peaches are cored and sliced to perfection!

Upcoming Macs to support 802.11ac, suggests OS X code
Macs of the near future may be able to tap directly into high-speed 802.11ac networks.
Code for the latest OS X 10.8.4 beta includes a string with the term "802.11ac channel," according to Apple-focused blog 9to5Mac. This appears to be the first reference to 802.11ac in OS X since the term does not show up in the code for OS X 10.8.3, the current version of Apple's OS.
Past rumors have suggested that Apple would be one of the early adopters of 802.11ac, equipping its laptops and tablets with … Read more

Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash, Holly is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll." His works and innovations inspired and influenced contemporary and later musicians, notably the Beatles, Elvis Costello, the Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan, and exerted a profound influence on popular music.

Photo: Thinkstock Let me introduce you to my friend Marjorie. Marjorie has a rockstar job as an advertising executive, two kids in elementary school, a husband she adores, a house with a backyard, a dog without fleas and a knitting circle that serves bottomless strawberry margaritas at their monthly meetings. If you asked her—in secret, where nobody could overhear her and think she was smug or a show-off—she'd say, "It's true. I do have a pretty happy life."
And yet, on the average day, she rushes off to the office at 6 a.m., works out during lunch, races back home at 6 to make dinner, bathe and tuck in her kids, and then spends the rest of the night paying bills or lying on the floor with the broom, trying to whack free all trapped Legos from underneath the couch. This, you might ask, is happy? One has to wonder if that's the best adjective to use to describe our lives—and, thanks to recent developments in psychology, whether that particular emotion really motivates any of our actions. Marty Seligman, PhD, who rose to prominence in the '90s due to his scientific research in how to help patients become happier, has now reversed his earlier position in his recent book Flourish, claiming that we take a more mature, multifaceted look at our goals. "What I want to do," he says, "is get people to open the door to understanding why they choose to do what they do." The need for a challenging career or lovable (but demanding!) children or running marathons may be motivated by something else entirely: the desire for self-fulfillment or even plain old accomplishment. These different inspirations may not result in classic joy, but they can result in something more complex and important: a sense of well-being. Scientifically, there are all kinds of ways to evaluate and measure this quality, but one of the most intriguing is the nationwide Gallup-Healthways poll which Seligman, along with other experts in the field, contributed to. Each evening, Gallup representatives call 1,000 random American people and ask them a series of questions, inquiring about everything from their exercise habits to their marriages and bills. (As of its debut in 2008, the project has surveyed more than 1,200,000 people.) The answers are fascinating: Hawaii (no surprise) has the highest level of well-being of any state, followed by (surprise) North Dakota. Education is the key predictor of emotional health over age 65, and positivity is in abundance in people across Alaska and Wyoming. Putting statistics aside, you may be wondering about your own well-being. Jim Pope, MD, chief officer of Healthways, the company that co-sponsored the poll with Gallup, has shared five slightly altered questions from the real nightly survey, and explained how they relate to our levels of satisfaction and contentment. You can use them as a window into the state of your life, and then ask yourself one simple thing: Am I just getting by? Or am I flourishing? |

Alinco DR-135T 2M Mobile Transcievers
Hello, I am selling a slightly used Alinco DR-135T mobile 2M Radio. I bought 2 of these from a guy who never used them. They were NIB. However he had them stored in his house and the house was heavily smoked in. you can still smell the smoke. I think if you left them out in the air long enough you could get the smell out but I wanted to include this in the auction because I dont smoke so I can smell it without a doubt. I got them and only used them for maybe a total of 4-6 hours each as a emergency radio in a storm room. They do not have the mobile monting brackets. They come with the optional DTMF mic's. power cords and original boxes. They will come with a copy of the instruction/owners manual on CD. I paid 170 each for them. They are in excellent shape. I have 2 of them for sale. \ it has 3 power outputs. 5w, 20w and 50w. you can view more on the radio at this website http://www.memphisamateur.com/index....PROD&ProdID=23 . If you have any questions feel free to email me. I am asking 130.00 each for them. I live in Pullman, MI 49450 Thanks again.

More than 100 Indiana National Guard personnel responded to Blizzard 2012, which had a serious impact on much of the state outside of most of Northwest Indiana. Ten Indiana National Guard Highway Assistance Teams were deployed Wednesday morning -- two each in Evansville, Vincennes, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis, with one team in Muncie and one in Richmond, to help rescue stranded motorists and take them to shelters. The National Guard also had two command and control units deployed to assist Indiana Department of Homeland Security efforts around the state.

I know it wasn't ideal, but they had to run today. You need four days of competition for a WT event and four days is a lot when you're talking about the East Coast. Thankfully, Hurricane Katia is blessing us with an almost-too-good-to-be-true forecast for waves that should have this thing wrapped up by Friday.
Still, today was far from epic, especially for #teamgivinithell. Gabe, Asher, Balaram and Cory got pitted into Round 2, one after the other. I decided I was not even going to talk to my friends anymore because everyone I talked to would seem to lose. Sure enough, I avoided CJ and he put on one of the performances of the day. Coach Jimmikanga was in a deep valley of despair today.
Waves are on the rise, Bal surfs against Fanning at 7 a.m. sharp Wednesday with Asher following against Owen in Heat 2. Look for #teamgivinithell to bounce back strong and hold it down for the Right Coast. —Jimmicane
Get up and at 'em tomorrow to watch live as the Quiksilver Pro New York continues into Round 2. The hurricane swell is on its way and could make things very interesting, very soon.

"Gabe Kling and Balaram, not exactly psyching — but put an East Coaster in a disturbed bathtub and he'll find a way to rip in it. They're bred for this mess."
Gabe Kilings heat score = 3.43
Balaram Stacks heat score = 6.07 -
Even if the waves are a little overhead (zzzzzz), the $1 million in prize money should be thrown at Teahupo'o events, not some lame NY beach break… Chosen by Quiksilver stock board-members who just want to sell more clothes on the least coast. The glaring injustice of this is more than clear after the Tahitian glory.
not really Mik, we need to get as much attention in NY as possible.
its thinking people like your self that we really don't need in the game.
we're looking for some cool youtubers that like EXTREME sports and get them to come out and be tubular and say "cowabunga dude" and "totally awesome".
our t-shirt approach could be " I love Kelly and I also love New York."
so cool being in NY running around with surfboards… tahiti? are you kidding.

Press ReleaseConservation Department Addresses Questions About Dog HuntingJune 09, 2003 A recent decision by the Conservation Advisory Board to adopt a measure regulating the use of dogs for hunting should help to address persistent problems expressed by landowners with hunting dogs on their properties without permission. Most hunters will still be allowed to use dogs to hunt as before. The proposed regulation makes two important stipulations relating to hunting with dogs: · Each dog must have a collar or tag that legibly displays the name and address of the owner. · Dog hunters would be legally responsible for the presence of their dogs pursuing wildlife on the lands of another and must have written permission from the landowner or lessee. According to Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Enforcement Chief Allan Andress, "The regulation does not prohibit training or running dogs in field trials during the closed gun season as already allowed by law or regulation. In addition, the written permission requirement does not apply to fox, raccoon or opossum hunters hunting at night with dogs only." The penalty for violating the dog hunting regulation would carry a maximum fine of $500. However, a more usual and customary fine would be closer to $50 plus court costs, except in the most aggravated circumstances or in the case of repeat offenders. This resolution was adopted by the Conservation Advisory Board at the Questions about using dogs for hunting can be addressed to the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Enforcement Section, 64 North Union St., Montgomery, AL 36130; 334-242-3467. ### |

What can a graduate do with a liberal arts degree?
Because students at Thomas Aquinas College receive a truly liberal education, they leave campus well-versed in the skills necessary to learn and thrive in any profession or endeavor. Roughly a third of the College's alumni go on to graduate or professional school. Graduates flourish in most every discipline or career imaginable, from education and law, to medicine and business, to architecture and technology. To find out more about what a liberally educated student can do, just read about our alumni.
What sorts of SAT/ACT scores do applicants need to be admitted to the College?
The Admissions Committee looks at an applicant's whole application, not just test scores, and there are no absolute thresholds that either guarantee or preclude admission. However, SAT scores below the 510-550 range for math and the 570-600 range for Critical Reading will often raise concerns about an applicant's suitability for the College's academic program. The same is true for ACT scores lower than 22 for math or 23 for English.
What is the College looking for in its application essays?
The purpose of the application essays is to assist the Admissions Committee in getting to know applicants personally and academically, and to determine whether they are a good fit for Thomas Aquinas College. The first essay, for example, helps to establish that an applicant understands the nature of the College and is prepared for the demands of its unique curriculum and pedagogy. Meanwhile, the essay about a book chosen by the applicant enables the Committee to see how a student would likely read a book within the College's curriculum. In both instances, the Committee is not so much looking for brilliance or originality as it is for answers that are thoughtful, well-organized, and to the point.
Does Thomas Aquinas College accept credits from other colleges or universities?
While many students at Thomas Aquinas College have attended college and/or earned credits elsewhere, because the curriculum here is fully integrated and builds sequentially, credits from other institutions are nontransferable.
Why does the College not offer majors and minors?
Thomas Aquinas College's four-year, classical curriculum is wholly integrated. The classes that make it up thus reference and reinforce one another, across disciplines, enabling students to develop an ever-greater understanding of nature, man, and God. Because this integration is essential to the degree the College offers, a B.A. in liberal arts, all students take the same set of courses.
Upon completing the degree, the College's students have undertaken four years of coursework in philosophy, theology, math, science, and seminar (where modern philosophy, history, literature, and other works are studied). They have also studied two years of language and one year of music. Thomas Aquinas College is the only College in the United States to require study in all seven major academic disciplines, as outlined by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.
Is the application process different for home-schooled students?
No, although home-schooled applicants may choose to request that a parent write one recommendation as the primary educator, unless another teacher's recommendation is available.
Does the College offer financial aid or merit scholarships?
Financial Aid is available on the basis of need. For more information, see here. The College does not offer merit scholarships, but does accept outside scholarship funds.
Where do the College's students come from?
Thomas Aquinas College students come from all over the United States and abroad. Roughly 35 percent hail from California, and 40 percent from states east of the Rocky Mountains.
Can non-Catholics attend the College?
Yes, and they are warmly welcomed. In fact, some 5 to 10 percent of Thomas Aquinas College students are not of the Catholic faith. All students who enroll at the College, however, must understand that both the College's curriculum and community life are animated by fidelity with Rome and the teaching Church.
Do all the students live in the residence halls?
Yes, with the sole exception of married students. The College's intellectual life is essentially bound up with its community life, and is all the richer for it.
Are all the residence halls single-sex?
Yes, and they remain off-limits to members of the opposite sex at all times.
What do students do outside of class?
Athletics, theater, music, and hiking are among the most popular activities, but there are many, many others as well. To learn more, see Beyond the Classroom.
Does the College have a sports program?
Because academics are paramount, the College does not engage in the demands of intercollegiate athletics. It does, however, offer an intramural sports program that is highly popular.
Why does the College call its professors "tutors?"
Classes at Thomas Aquinas College are conducted by way of the Discussion Method. There are no lectures, no didactic discourses, no simple memorization of others' conclusions. Instead, students propose, rebut, and defend ideas until — through discussion and critical argumentation — the class discerns the meaning of a text and, more important, its veracity or error.
As such, it is not the role of the Thomas Aquinas College faculty to "profess." Their function is both more modest and more demanding: They gently guide classroom conversations through skillful questioning, so that students can diligently work their way toward the truth. The tutors do not offer their own opinions and theories, but help bring to light those of the greatest thinkers and authors of Western civilization — the true "teachers" in the College's unique curriculum.
Because there are never more than 20 students in a class at Thomas Aquinas College, members of the teaching faculty can tailor these discussions to the needs of each group. They thus serve as a sort of personal guide in the pursuit of wisdom — "tutors" in the truest sense of the word.
What sort of medical care is available on campus?
A part-time, on-campus nurse provides minor medical care. A College courier service can also bring students, free of charge, to off-campus doctor's appointments during daily scheduled courier runs, or to nearby Santa Paula Hospital for emergency and/or major medical treatment.
Why are there no Open Houses on the College's calendar?
Because the "house" here is always open! While the College does occasionally hold formal Open Houses, visiting the campus while classes are in session is truly the best way for prospective students to get to know the College from the inside.

Maryland ranks reasonably well among the states in funding its pension system. But at $14.5 billion, the bill coming due for its non-pension retiree benefits is nearly twice what the state owes on its pensions. Maryland has started to put a little money aside ($100 million in the 2007 budget) to pay this bill, but not nearly enough. If the state opts to move toward full funding of its non-pension benefits, putting the money in a qualified trust, actuaries have calculated that it will require $772 million annually compared to the $236 million Maryland paid for current retirees in 2006. By pre-funding this obligation, Maryland could reduce its $14.5 billion obligation to $9 billion.

I box so I can tell you from experience, in terms of striking (combination/speed punching), using heavy resistance training tends to inhibit fluidity/motion, google Jeff Lacy as an example.
Refer to guys like Roy Jones or even Wladimir Klitschko, most of their weight training consists of functional training/fast twitch development, not bodybuilding type training. I've personally witnessed top rated MMA guys get in the boxing ring to spar with boxers, in order to improve their technique, and the guys they spar with are half their size/age (mostly kids training for states/Olympics), and let's just say it isn't pretty.
MMA athletes are horrid from a boxers perspective in terms of their technique. They throw wide looping punches, that you can see coming 4 miles away. The kids they sparred with landed on them about 10-1 just to put it into perspective. Work on your legs and functional core training. MMA requires upper body strength for grappling, but in terms of enhancing speed, it's a catch 22.

The boards of four major Washington, D.C.–area organizations serving association executives voted this week to approve a merger that would combine all the current activities of the four entities into two. The boards of the American Society of Association Executives, the ASAE Foundation, The Greater Washington Society of Association Executives, and The Center for Association Leadership could merge into two entities: ASAE and The Center for Association Leadership.
However, the dissolution of GWSAE, and therefore the merger of the four organizations, is contingent upon a vote by the association professional members (voting members) of GWSAE, which will take place June 30. Members who are not able to attend that meeting at GWSAE headquarters will have the option of voting by absentee ballot. GWSAE would be dissolved as a corporate entity and its assets would be transferred to The Center. The Center for Association Leadership was founded by GWSAE several years ago as an "organization that offers exceptional learning experiences … throughout the association profession," and is known for its innovative education and programming, which will now extend beyond the Washington, D.C., association market.
In a press conference Wednesday, Susan Sarfati, president and CEO of GWSAE and The Center, said that approximately 1,600 GWSAE members would be eligible to vote, and that a minimum of 10 percent must vote and that a two-thirds majority approval is needed in order for the merger to succeed. Currently "about 50 percent of GWSAE members are also members of ASAE," said Sarfati.
Under the proposal, which was hammered out by leaders of all four organizations—members of the Joint Leadership Team, or JOLT—the activities of the ASAE Foundation and of GWSAE would be offered through The Center, which is headquartered at the Marriott Learning Complex in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.
The merger would reduce redundancies between the four organizations and consolidate staff and, eventually, office space. All of the research and educational functions of all four organizations would be the responsibility of The Center.
The ASAE annual meeting and exposition held each August and the annual exposition put on by GWSAE, Springtime, would continue, according to Sarfati and John H. Graham IV, president and CEO of ASAE. Under the new structure, Graham would continue as president and CEO of ASAE and Sarfati would continue as president and CEO of The Center and become executive vice president at ASAE. ASAE and The Center would operate with separate boards linked in a new governance structure that includes cross-representation on both boards and a unified staff structure. The new Center for Association Leadership would be governed for two years by a transition board of directors composed of 24 members.
Operating efficiencies and savings would be realized by consolidating finance and administration, technology, meeting services, marketing, and human resources, although Safarti and Graham were careful to say that they were unsure how many layoffs, if any, would take place, because none of the four organizations filled vacancies when staff left in the recent past.
The only real news that came out of the press conference was that even though GWSAE would be dissolved if the members approve, many of the GWSAE benefits and programs will be preserved through a community called GWSAEnetwork, although those D.C.–area association executives would be paying dues to only one association, ASAE.

Major discrepancy
There is no more fiercely competitive news beat in Knoxville than UT Sports. Radio talk shows, Internet sites, TV stations and newspapers all vie to be first with any tidbit of news. The Tennessean has a full-time UT reporter in Knoxville, Chris Lowe, and he's a good one. Here at the News Sentinel we gnash our teeth anytime he beats us, and we celebrate when we're first with the news.
The most recent story to break went our way. Mike Griffith got the scoop on Monday that Major Wingate had been suspended from the basketball team for a violation of team rules.
Pearl suspends Wingate
But what was the violation? What did Wingate do? Lowe came back the next day with a story quoting "multiple sources" as saying Wingate had tested positive for marijuana use.
Vols suspend Wingate
That's a serious accusation, one we would hestitate to attitribute to anonymous sources, even multiple ones. But our reporters pushed hard to match Lowe's information, if it could be confirmed.
As it turned out, though, we came away with a different story, that Wingate was suspended, not for testing positive, but for missing a scheduled drug test.
Wingate was suspended after not taking drug test
Who's right? Naturally, we believe we are, or we wouldn't have published the story. But the bad thing about anonymous sources is that they make independent verification impossible. Without them, though, some news would never come out.
Wow, I am impressed! I cannot imagine living this week without learning that one of the UT royals was suspected of not showing up for a drug test...OR testing positive for drug use (whatever). Some of the unwashed simply do not realize how important it is to learn that one of these underprivileged children has been duped into smoking a joint?or was not smart enough to find the testing facility.
You do realize that Chris Lowe does indeed scoop the News Sentinel with a great degree of regularity and is in great demand for appearances and insight on Knoxville sports radio and television. He works for the Tennessean, a statewide newspaper, which unlike the News Sentinel, has a commitment to reporting the news, accurately, timely, and in a probing and inquisitive manner,fulfilling its role as a watchdog on government (not being a part of it as the News Sentinel choses to do). Copies of the Tennessean are available all over Knoxville (at every Pilot station) and online (without no payment required like the News Sentinel's UT sports section. Perhaps the News Sentinel's bush league operations and unmotivated journalistic standards have paved the way for the Tennessean to be the primary print source of news in Knoxville. Perhaps the Tennessean's committment to cover real news, with a solid journalistic edge allow it to run circles around the Scripps papers in Knoxville and Memphis.
Only the readers know. Nobody in the editorial office will decide who is right.
So Wingate and Don Williams were smoking a big fat one together and Wingate was running a little late, whats the problem! They still hate BUSH!

Glock 34 poor accuracy
Well I just got back from the range with my new Glock 34, gen 3.. and it was rather disappointing. Very poor accuracy.
Wondering if there is an issue with it or if I'm just going to need to get used to something though i have no clue what.. I've owned glocks since they came out and always shoot them well. Today at 10 yards a fist sized group, and hitting a little bit hi. At 15 yards the group opened up to about 12 inches..??? Shot my G26 and M&P 9 at the same range both held a fist sized, 2-3" group. At 40 yards at a 4"x5" target 5 shots one hit, shot at the same target with the G26 and made 3 hits out of five.. I'll post some pics after i'm done cleaning. G34 is stock with trijicons on it. Otherwise all stock has about 200 rounds through it.. |

Try shooting it off of a good bench first. That will tell if it is the gun or you. I will assume you were shooting off hand. Opening from 2 to 3 inches to 12 inches in a distance of 15 feet (the difference between 10 and 15 yards) just isn't going to happen mechanically. Probably shooter error, which can be minimized by bench testing. Good luck.

Yes off hand..
Constantine... That's what i assumed mine would be too. . I kind of ruled out shooter error due to the fact that i picked up the other glock and it shot just fine even more accurate at the same ranges.. I suppose i shouldn't make that assumption, maybe i'm just needing to get used to it.. |

Normally I would say it's you or the ammo, but I got a G19 one time that didn't group worth a darn, and I can shoot nice tight groups the the rest of my Glocks. Hope you get it resolved.

Yeah.. 115gr mainly. Federal from Wal-Mart. WWB also..It never malfunctioned and was boring reliable and accurate. I sold it for a SIG P220 and regret it. As much as I love the SIG P220, I could have at least put it on layaway or something. Didn't have to sell my 34 :[ oh well...live and learn. -_-

The only way to rue out shooter error for a particular firearm is to shoot THAT firearm off the bench and off hand, not some other firearm off hand. The group simply isn't going to open to that degree in that short of a distance due to some mechanical issue.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is the balance change for the user due to the longer, more forward barrel.
Weight differences are minimal compared to the average full size Glock. Keep in mind the 1911 has more weight on the bottom end and the balance of the Glock is different because of the lighter bottom end. With less weight on the bottom end, the balance of the weight extended forward on the g34 Glock, the weight is shifted more forward and the shooter must compensate. Do you move the brace hand (non trigger hand) into a position to place your thumb on the side of the frame?(left thumb, left hand , right handed shooting) If not, try it. Doing so will stabilized they sway effect of the heavier end weight.
If you ever have to use a firearm, you don't get to pick the scenario! |
