|Query Subject:
Question - personal pronouns which change with temporal reference

Dear Linguists,
I recently read an article about self and personhood in various
cultures, which states that "there are languages, such as Iaca (New
Caledonia), which have sets of [personal] pronouns marked for
different tenses, contradicting Western notions of physical continuity
[of the self]".
I can't find any mention on the web of a language called Iaca;
however, his point may well still be true. Can anyone tell me an
example of a language which shows the grammatical characteristic which
he describes?
Thanks for any leads,
David Palfreyman
Zayed University, Dubai.

A very agreeable staff. I liked the fact that it is for Beer Dogs like me, yet very family friendly. The beers were good, the red in particular stood out. My wife, a burger enthusiast, was very pleased with the hamburger. The building, and how they used it, is very inviting in a homey kind of way. Makes me want to check out their brewery location. They had a good berry wheat beer (not a category I normally find noteworthy), and an American Pale Ale, but I can't find my notes and thus can't comment sufficiently on the traits of the beers that I liked. Sorry, I can't remember the other beers that stood out. But, I will be back in the summer, and plan on revisiting. But it sure is nice to have a place that does so much with organic ingredients!!! Give the place a shot if you are in the Pearl District, it's worth it.

Laurelwood public house is located in an older, reburbished home just off of "hip and happening" NW 23rd ave. That's sort of good news and bad news as it turns out. The good news is that there is a lot to see and do around that part of Portland; the bad news is that parking is limited to street parking and it's pretty hard to come by.
Inside the pub itself, the docor is made up of warm gold and pumpkin colors, with some pictures and postures adorning the walls. Laurelwood makes the most of the space they have, so there is an upstairs and downstairs dining area, with a smallish bar on the lower floor. There is also a few tables and chairs outside as well, all of which were taken and in use on the gorgeous afternoon I stopped by.
Selection was the usual solid Laurelwood tap selection, as well as a couple of seasonals (a belgian wit and a hefeweizen). The workingman IPA was as tasty as every, and the hefeweizen tolerable. Service was pretty good I thought. The waiter was friendly and pretty quick/efficient, especially considering he was the only one providing service this early afternoon (he provided table service and acted as a bartender). Also, when he noticed I wasn't exactly bowled over by the hefeweizen, he comped me the beer, even though I assured him I was happy and willing to pay for it.
This is another solid Laurelwood pub, though given the location of the public house (I can't begin to imagine what it must be like trying to find parking on the weekend evenings), it's unlikely I'll be stopping by again any time soon. Fortunately, Laurelwood beers are readily available around PDX, and the NE Sandy loction is much easier to get to, with considerably better parking options.

The NW Pub House is located just off 23rd...a welcomed respite from the countless nearby shops and boutiques.
Love places like this that are in old houses. The multiple levels and rooms add an extra dimension to the vibe not seen at most places. Tiny bar area and numerous small tables provide the seating. Like most of the other stops in Portland, nice conversation with the bartender and other patrons about beer and Portland culture was easy to come by. One drinker mentioned how she was still using the same tank of gas from earlier in the summer. It being September and us being from Houston, the thought of that little of driving is almost shocking.
Beer was great. They had their usual lineup of beers on with nothing out of the ordinary available. We stuck with IPA's. The Workhorse IPA is outstanding. Love the Pacific NW IPA's.
Worth checking out, especially if you're already in the area.

During a recent vacation to Portland, we happen to find this place while shopping in the Northwest District. I saw the name and said we are stopping for beer. This location is perfectly nestled in a very visually appealing part of the city, very quaint, nice and quite, very laid back. We were seated right away on the pouch, the dinning room area seemed small, and full; but given the choice I would have taken the pouch anyway. My memory can't seem to remember what I ordered first, although I do know that after placing the order, the waiting came back and said the keg had kicked. The waiter had some good news though, which was, that a new seasonal IPA called Green Elephant had just been tapped. Great choice, that beer was phenomenal, so good I asked if it was possible to get a growler filled. The waited seemed to think that would be fine, but since the beer was seasonal and limited there were no growler fills :( . Not to much of a problem, I decided on taking home some of their workhorse IPA instead. All the frills aside, we ordered some garlic fries, and enjoyed everything around us. The waiter was very pleasant and also very knowledgeable, he was able to point us in the direction of another brew pub within walking distance and even suggested some beers to try. Overall a great experience, I would most defiantly visit again, highly recommended.

Day 1 & Stop 6 of the Portland Pub Crawl. Figured it was time for dinner, so we made this the last stop of the night. The brewpub look a lot like an old converted two story house. Interesting concept. Got seated right away at a small table near the bar. Service did seem to take a little while, but it was busy so that's cool. They had eight beers on tap. I went with the seasonal Standing Sun Ale, and my wife had the Space Stout. Decent beer, didn't blow me away, but was above average. Food was pretty tasty too. My steak and red pepper rollup sandwich hit the spot. After a long day of crawling, this was a nice relaxing place to have a bite to eat, a night cap beer, and cap off our first night in Portland.

This was the first stop of my second day in Portland, this place looked like a house from the outside, happened to be smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood too, pretty small inside but there is a cool outdoor patio area sitting right on the street pretty much, there was only one bartender/waiter working and was he was a nice guy, helpful with recommending other places, he even changed the TV for us without even asking, we got a sampler of eight beers and it was ten dollars, pretty expensive for that actually, did not eat here, they only had the eight beers on tap and all of them were their own, there was three IPAs including a seasonal called Boss IPA, food looked pretty decent but we were not quite hungry yet because of a late breakfast, also visited the airport location which had pretty much the same beers on draft, I would not go back to this location with all the other great stuff in the city, but would be curious to see what other locations are like, probably worth checking out, hopefully next time I am at one of these places I get to try their imperial stout, Moose and Squirrel, I have heard that is hands down their best beer, glad I stopped here regardless

I live about 4 or 5 blocks from this establishment. It is located inside a renovated house. It has very nice outside seating on a "residential type" porch. Its a fairly small Public House and they try to use as much of the space as possible which can make it a little cramped. Also they allow kids in the place which can add some undesirable noise to say the least. For the most part the service is pretty adequate and attentive. They have a nice full spectrum of their own house brews. Their food is nice standard American Pub-Fare and have an awesome happy hour. Very reasonable prices.

My favoite Laurelwood location. They put the house in Public House. Bar is kinda cramped, but hey, its in a living room! Great place to catch a nice Portland afternoon on their porch. As always, great Laurelwood brews. Workhorse IPA is fantastic. Service was cheery, better than most P-town service. The food is much better than most Public houses. And their happy hour is a steal, great snacks at a great price. The area is great for walking around and checking out local shops. I will be back, time and time again.

I happened on this place sometime ago and finally decided to go in for a pint or two. Great atmosphere, very quaint, friendly, inviting, and tidy little place. The smaller set-up makes for a much personable place
From what I had it was all quality and aimed to please. This was augmented by stellar, prompt, and friendly service. Bartender was very eager to give samples and gave an honest description of the products they offer
Selection was notable and might be considered small by some beer guru's. About 6-7 Laurelwood taps handles with a full bar. The beer selection is tasty craft stuff!
I had a plate of banging nachos during happy hour and waxed-off two great beers and walked out of the bar feeling good all around
Stop by the place! I like the set-up of an old house and make sure to close the door behind. I could easily make this my home...
very reasonable and hit the happy hour!

What a great place. A lovely old house in a great nieghborhood. We sat out on the deck on a lovely day. nice people, very nice place to sit and chill.
Their beers are top notch. All fit the styles very well, the Derenger is a great beer and deserves all the medals it has won.
Service was good and the staff was knowledgable.
Not a ton of beers on tap, but what was there was good.
I had the King Salmon, it was very good, just what I would expect in Portland.
The prices were very reasonable.
I am a big fan of this place and their beer.

Award Winning SkyScout® Personal Planetariums™ Donated To Girl Scout Council Members Nationwide
HOUSTON, TX – (July 26, 2007) – Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), the world's preeminent youth development organization solely for girls, announced today at its Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) meeting at the San Jacinto Girl Scout Council's Casa Mare Camp in Houston, TX, a joint program with Celestron® to encourage interest in space exploration and astronomy among America's youth. As a leading designer and manufacturer of telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes and microscopes, Celestron marked the occasion with a donation of 100 Celestron SkyScouts® to support the Girl Scouts' STEM programs, which work to increase science and technology literacy among today's youth and tomorrow's leaders.
Today, 41% of all Girl Scout awards (Try-Its, Badges and Interest Project Patches) are related to STEM topics. As part of its STEM programming, GSUSA has partnered with NASA to provide the Girl Scouts access to educational materials and experts that enrich girl program experiences.
"We are really excited to collaborate with Celestron as part of our STEM programming," said Kate Pickle, STEM Project Manager. "SkyScout is a fantastic learning aid that will be a great tool to kindle the curiosity of our girls and provide them with a fun, interactive way to push boundaries, test limits, and look at the world around them with inquisitive eyes."
About the size of a camcorder and weighing less than 16 ounces, the SkyScout utilizes a consumer-friendly "point and shoot" GPS technology that enables stargazers to instantly identify and/or locate over 6,000 celestial objects in the sky with the press of a button and listen to commentary on the object and its history. The SkyScout also has a "locate" feature that allows users to select an object they wish to view (i.e. Mars) and the SkyScout, using illuminated arrows in the viewfinder, will point the user to the object.
"Teaming-up with the Girl Scouts' STEM program is a perfect partnership for us. As today's Girl Scouts are preparing to take on the 21st century's many technological opportunities and challenges, SkyScout makes science and technology, approachable and fun for all," said Joseph A. Lupica Jr., president and CEO of Celestron. "SkyScout is the ideal tool for people of all ages that have ever looked up at the night sky and had a desire to know more about the objects that make-up our surrounding universe."
The formal donation was made today at a STEM program ceremony during the Girl Scouts' STEM training, when Celestron gave a demonstration to STEM program participants and local Girl Scouts and presented the Girl Scouts with a check for the value of the donation, approximately $40,000.

The news was electric this week, literally; some of it good, some of it had us searching for the flashlights.
I'm speaking of course of that major power outage that rolled through the area. The culprit is believed to be a late summer heat wave that overloaded a transmission line between these parts and Cleveland.
That led First Energy into the decision to take the pressure off shutting some areas down for a few hours at a time.
Coming on the night the President was to address the nation on Syria, it's funny how quickly people started wondering if the outages were some kind of terror attack.
But with the exception of me stubbing my big toe on the coffee table trying to find a candle the discomfort was short lived.
Of hopefully longer duration is a plan to embed a big power line on the floor of Lake Erie. It's an idea from a company called Lake Erie Power.
The concept is to be able to take cheap Canadian power and feed the more expensive American market.
The hope is that the price of power would go down in our area as a result.
One obstacle is that the project would cost a billion dollars. Yes, that's with a "B."
Another is that it takes a whole lot of permits from a whole lot of places before you can run a line through a Great Lake.
But these guys are serious and well-funded and have the blessing of a few people here who should know a literal pipe dream when they see one.
Could a new source of power help prevent the outages we had this week?
I sure hope so.
And so does my big toe.

The vortex of dementia
by Abdul Olugbala Shakur, s/n James Harvey
For the vast majority of us, when we initially entered these gates of hell, the protection of our physical being was of paramount concern, not realizing the booty bandits were the least of our worries. This realization doesn't become manifest in its fullness until we enter into its twisted, officially sanctioned vortex in the Security Housing Unit, or SHU, where our inherent stability becomes subjected to conditions specifically designed with both deliberate and malicious intent to disfigure our basic grasp on our sanity. Often times these conditions are subtle, but very effective nonetheless.
My first three years in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) were a blur. Any attempt to probe my sanity was undetected by my conscious awareness. But it was my fourth year in isolation that my captor's motives revealed themselves. While in the Adjustment Center at San Quentin State Prison, I was arbitrarily placed in the "quiet cell" – no running water, no lights, no mattress or blankets, just my boxer shorts and T-shirt.
I didn't sleep at all that first night; I was still trying to wrap my sensibility around my new reality. The cell had the stench of urine and fecal matter and on each side of my cell there were screams of torment and constant banging on my walls, obviously an attempt orchestrated by my captors to deprive me of sleep while I contemplated the now visible probes into my sanity.
For many of us trapped within its catacomb of solitary madness, this man-made construct of nefarious intent possesses a more sinister title: the vortex of dementia.
Many of you who are unaware of the overall objective of the prison industrial slave-complex may be quick to dismiss the above experience as an aberration, not an elaborate scheme designed to break the spirit and torment the minds of its captives – the New Afrikan revolutionary prisoners in particular. On the 10th day of being in the quiet cell, my neighbors were informed that if they did not kick on my wall late at night, they'd not be removed from the quiet cell, a clear incentive for their complicity to facilitate my captors' endeavors to rob me of my sanity.
For an entire month my neighbors kicked on my walls, so losing myself in sleep to escape this psychological torture was not an option. I was forced to confront this deliberate assault on my sanity. This scheme would repeat itself two more times, each time longer than the next. The second time was approximately 45 days and the third time was 90 days.
Then I was emergency transferred to old Folsom in 1985. San Quentin State Prison had told the Folsom administration that I was involved in a conspiracy to murder staff, which was a blatant lie. I was not even in the unit where the guard was killed. But this lie was designed to evoke hostility and violence upon my arrival to Folsom.
I was eventually released from Bedrock (i.e. Behavioral Control Unit) once my captors realized their plan didn't work. About four months later, I was placed back into Bedrock where I spent over a year. Both Corcoran and Pelican Bay State Prison were modeled after the Bedrock units. My second return to Bedrock was under the false allegation that I was involved in a conspiracy to assault prison staff. In response to this fabricated charge, I was physically assaulted and Tasers were placed on my testicles while I was handcuffed behind my back.
The above experiences represented the traditional methods of both psychological and physical torture, each challenging the resilience of my mental health, which I admit was beginning to succumb to the seduction of dementia.
Then in 1989, I entered the gladiator yards of Corcoran State Prison, where fights were staged daily for the pleasure of sadistic pigs. Though I received only two disciplinary reports, I was involved in at least 14 staged fights – another experience that took a toll on my already exhausted sanity.
Then 22 years ago, I entered the cold corridors of Pelican Bay State Prison that have exposed me to a new form of mental torture, a more subtle but sophisticated and systematic assault on one's senses, a deprivation so complete that it leaves one drowning within the depths of one's own emptiness. This was (and is) a sanctioned assault of attrition being waged upon our mental health, a constant probing of our undiagnosed psychoses. Dementia was beginning to look more enticing, as I watched hundreds of prisoners around me surrender to the temptation of insanity, an escape from the harsh reality of sensory deprivation.
Many have asked how I've survived 30 years of solitary confinement isolation under constant assault on my mental state? I tell them, first of all, my ordeal is far from being over, so I have yet to survive my isolation, but I'm surviving in spite of my (our) situation.
For me, I believe identifying the symptoms is essential in resisting the attraction of dementia. Many convicts, because of the stigma attached to dementia, deny any symptoms. I don't care who you are; anybody who has spent 20 years or more in solitary such as the Security Housing Unit is going to have some symptoms. Though they may be subtle, they have the potential to mature into a full blown psychosis, if ignored. This is why I believe that embracing the symptoms helps us to subdue them. I recognized my symptoms 20 years ago and I refused to give into them, but it is a constant battle. Dementia is forever present, waiting to claim our sanity.
I entered the cold corridors of Pelican Bay State Prison that have exposed me to a new form of mental torture, a more subtle but sophisticated and systematic assault on one's senses, a deprivation so complete that it leaves one drowning within the depths of one's own emptiness.
Before I close, I would like to briefly touch on a hypothesis that I've yet to hear anyone speak on, which I believe is worthy of further examination, and that is the Stockholm Syndrome. Many people became aware of this syndrome during the Patty Hearst trial, when she was witnessed on camera robbing a bank with her alleged captors. Simply put, the Stockholm Syndrome is when a captive begins to emulate the characteristics and/or belief system of his/her captor(s).
Many prisoners don't have a clue that they are emulating the same cowardly and immoral practices of their captors. I provide you with two brief examples:
1. First of all, the prison guard is an active participant within the CDCR-sanctioned torture scheme. Guards will identify a number of noises that they believe will serve to agitate and/or irritate prisoners. For example: loud whistling, slamming our food port, stomping up and down the stairs while we sleep, talking loud over the PA system, just to name a few. Once identified, staff would begin to incorporate these cowardly tactics in their daily routine.
But so-called convicts have also adopted these methods. I have witnessed a number of times so-called convicts direct the pig scheme towards other convicts, thus collaborating with the pigs to wage psychological torture on their fellow convicts. As New Afrikan revolutionaries, we call these so-called convicts collaborators. I believe these so-called convicts are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. I personally tell them about it every time I witness it, but for the most part to no avail. They are so far gone into the syndrome they have become captors (guards) by proxy.
2. The Security Housing Unit (SHU) is a deliberate construct, and sensory deprivation is the product of a sick mind. Anyone who manages and profits from such a destructive scheme is void of any sense of humanity, especially when she/he can work in this environment and completely ignore the impact it is having on its captives.
You often become a product of your environment. If it's devoid of any sense of humanity and moral redemption, it is going to produce a product of like values. Many prisoners upon release are emulating the lack of humanity and redemption displayed daily by their captors; unfortunately, society suffers as a result via reoffending. That's a deliberate ploy designed to guarantee their return and the survival of the prison industrial slave-complex.
Many have asked how I've survived 30 years of solitary confinement isolation under constant assault on my mental state? I tell them, first of all, my ordeal is far from being over, so I have yet to survive my isolation, but I'm surviving in spite of my (our) situation.
I ask, what can you produce from a depraved environment? I believe recidivism has a mental component that is directly linked to our captors.
Being in prison alone has an impact on our mental state. But within the control unit prisons, there exists a deliberate and systematic assault on our sanity with a clear purpose. If state departments of corrections and the federal Bureau of Prisons can weaken our mental stability, we then become more vulnerable to the trappings of recidivism.
A disciplined mind allows us to resist any temptations that can bring us back to prison, such as drugs and alcohol or even negative friends. The key to resolving this matter lies with us as prisoners.
The prison system and the SHU is not going to shut down anytime soon. So we will have to be more realistic and pragmatic in our approach to addressing the mental health of prisoners. We can start off as prisoners by pledging we'll not become collaborators with the CDCR in their endeavor to assault our sanity!
Send our brother some love and light: Abdul Olugbala Shakur, s/n James Harvey, C-48884, PBSP SHU D1-119, P.O. Box 7500, Crescent City, CA 95532. This story was mailed to and transcribed by Kendra Castaneda.
One thought on "The vortex of dementia"
Despite the numerous deprivations that would break his captors, Abdul Olugbala Shakur is remaining strong and human.
After reading his words, you should severely question the sanity of those who would create such a sick and depraved systemic sadism and worse, export it to what passes for other 'governments' in the world.
And then, question what is even worse – question the sanity of the governments that would accept, approve, sanction, emulate and spend billions upon the importation of systemic terrorism and systemic evil – and dare to call it humane, and/or an act of humanity and a prototype for 'teaching,' 'rehabilitation,' and/or 'civilization.'
And if, when you ask yourself the kinds of harsh questions about the cruel and inhumane environments that this New AFRIKAN Man is enduring, and remaining human in and you do not see anything wrong, and you do not see that this should be fought with your last breath and defeated – then the abyss is yawning beneath your feet and you will not ever be part of the solution, but part of the problem.
As such, you will have my coldest regards.↓

"30% interesting, 70% blah blah blah"
This title did not deliver on its original promise of a scientific examination of the co-evolution of humans and four species of plant. Not that it didn't make an attempt, because it did. And yet the author seemed to get consistently -- and deeply -- distracted in ways that I could barely abide.
It's as though the author sold the concept to a publishing house only to discover that there was not sufficient material on the chosen subjects to fill 300 pages, forcing him to compensate with vast spans of particularly annoying and formless (even...Dionysian?) sophistry.
I usually avoid abridged books but this is one title that, had it undergone an intensive (even...Apollonian?) abridgement, would have merited an additional one or two stars.
"Non-stop Fascinating"
I can't recall being so deeply enthralled by any content purchased on audible.com. And I've purchased a lot.
Dr. McWhorter is a master lecturer with an uncanny grasp of languages and he simply refused to be anything but compelling during every minute of this course. So enriching. Such effective delivery.
Cannot say enough to recommend this course for anybody who finds the nature of language the slightest bit interesting.
"Outstanding content. Grating delivery."
This is a compelling lecture series. The instructor is very knowledgeable in the subject and manages to bring these battles to life in the relatively short time dedicated to each. Highly recommended to any student of military history.
My only complaint deals with the delivery. Prof. Aldrete pronounces every third word as though it comes as a complete surprise to him. It's exhausting to listen to. That said, the information is well worth the effort to consume it.
The storytelling was flawless. This is a masterfully composed tale that left me awestruck.
This story left me feeling an unusual sense of reverence for the men involved. And from now on, when I go running in the winter, I shall never again complain about the cold.
I intend to listen to this one again. And I say that about very few books.
"Not epic like the first, but a worthy successor."
It's hard to follow up on something like Freakonomics, but Super Freakonomics does a good enough job. In the absence of the earlier work, this book would be an unqualified winner, but when compared, it falls slightly short. I simply found many of the "stories" less freaky than the first. Interesting, but not mind-blowingly so. As for the narrator, Dubner does an outstanding job, especially for somebody who does not do that kind of work for a living. Bottom line: worth reading if you liked the first.
"Outstanding military history"
This was among the best works of military history I've encountered. The story unfolded in a focused, intuitive way, with plenty of the sidebar-type extras that add so much enjoyable texture to this sort of work. My only complaint was the Conclusion, which could have been 75% shorter.
"I really wanted to like this book."
First of all, I think there was a change of narrators at some point, because my version was superb, while the narration offered in the sample on this page was as terrible as many earlier reviewers suggest. So, for the record, the narrator problem appears to have been fixed.
Unfortunately, the basic flaws of story telling remain problematic. I've read many works by Ambrose and have adored them all. This book fell flat for me. Thud. Just when it seemed about to get interesting, it diverged into a morass of not-so-consequential tangents that were hard to endure.
"I did not see this one coming."
I suspected this would be an interesting work, but was totally unprepared for how shockingly interesting it turned out to be. Having worked in the medical field, I knew of Sulfa only as the poorer cousin of penicillin, and wondered what might be so interesting about the story behind its discovery that would merit an entire book on the topic. Now I know. there are a great many lessons to be considered and internalized in this story. An outstanding work.
"The rest of the story we all need to know."
This is a deeply compelling history of radical Islam and the circumstances that led to the events of 9/11. Finally, all the strange-sounding Arabic names that have come up since that day have meaning and context. A very powerful work, which I was sad to see end.
"Brilliant. Not a wasted word."
Rare is the book that could not use even a little abridging. This is just such a book. From start to finish, the narrative was relentlessly enthralling. How did I spend so many years believing this was a dry topic? Ambrose has succeeded where my history teachers failed.

A bill on the senate floor is aimed to help keep kids safe on the school bus in more ways than one. Lawmakers hope this bill will make it illegal to trespass on a school bus and change the way people who pass a stopped school bus are brought to justice.
Hank Summerford has a stack of more than 100 pictures of people who have been caught on camera passing a stopped school bus in the last year. Summerford is the Maintenance and Transportation Director for Morgan County schools. He said every week some drivers ignore the big red sign and flashing lights on a stopped school bus.
"We have an average of probably four to six stop sign runners a week in Morgan County alone," he said. "There is no telling how many there are in the rest of the state."
Summerford took his concerns to Senator Arthur Orr, who is trying to iron out what he calls a wrinkle in a current law that says police have to witness someone running a stopped school arm. He's adding the adjustment to a bill that will make trespassing on a bus illegal.
"We got together a language for a bill that would allow police to look at the video cameras in the school buses and make a conclusion that someone has broken the law and therefore issue a ticket to that person using the license plate," he said.
Orr said he doesn't think the law should have a problem passing, but if it does, he will file a free standing one.
Fines for passing a stopped school bus can be up to $500.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Hallucinogen Wall received a lot of press after the protracted, epic-filled first ascent. It was a CLIMBING magazine cover shot and received a fair bit of sensationalism in the Western Slope newspapers. The first ascent was an outstanding achievement for the period and included some of the most impressive aid climbing yet done in Colorado. One can only wonder what was going through Bryan Becker's head as he hooked ad nauseum on the crux lead well into the danger zone. (Given the route name, it's easy to guess at least one thing going through his head.)
3 sets Friends to #3, doubles #3.5 and #4, a #4 Camalot, 2 sets TCUs, Wires/RPs, 2 sets assorted hooks including talons and Fish hooks, a small selection of heads (in case a fixed head blows on you) including a few circle heads , and a couple rivets hangers. Some people bring a small selection of pins (a few blades, LAs, to standard angles) although you will probably place very few pins. Portaledge (Fantasy Island is a good one-person bivy, but 2 is way crowded; Happy Trails is a marginal bivy for 1). Buttbag, helmet, all that kind of crap. 50m ropes will work, I assume, but 60m eliminates assumptions. Bolt kit just in case (a lot of bolts are looking pretty old). The hauling is easy once you get about 5 pitches up. Music cassettes from the heydays of psychedelia, Hendrix preferred.

Alice Dogruyol's article 'Big girl in a skinny world: Killer heels are fine for tiny girls, but I'm carrying 90 kilos on spikes' (Daily Mail, 8 June 2010) lends itself well to feminist psychology, and specifically the ways in which the female body is socially constructed and the implications this can have for women's psychological (and physical) health. For example, Dogruyol describes herself, after having caught sight of her own reflection in a shop window, as 'shapeless' and 'huge', or as the title suggests 'Big girl in a skinny world'. Her self-perception mirrors the strongly entrenched view that in order to be considered attractive and of value in Western culture women must be slim (Bordo 1993). Dogruyol's self-perception of her body is part of a medium of culture in which the physical body becomes a reflection of the social body, such that, the central rules and hierarchies of Western culture determine how the body is seen (Bordo, 1993). Therefore, the body becomes a direct form of social control, in which greater restrictions and less tolerance is imposed on girls and women than on boys and men (Lee, 1998). The significance of physical attractiveness means that ideals such as 'women must be slim' have psychological implications for women in that they experience some degree of dissatisfaction with their bodies and that this may lead to a sense of alienation from the body, a fragmented self and a lack of autonomy. In order to regain a sense of autonomy and self, Dogruyol opts to make her body appear 'slimmer' by purchasing new clothes that will produce 'a stylish, confidence-boosting new look.'

Alcohol Distribution Registration for Student Events
State law requires that you be informed of the following: (1) with few exceptions, you are entitled on request to be informed about the information the University collects about you by use of this form; (2) under sections 552.021 and 552.023 of the Government Code, you are entitled to receive and review the information; and (3) under section 559.004 of the Government Code, you are entitled to have the University correct information about you that is incorrect.
Recognizing an educational responsibility, the University has developed these and other regulations to promote students' responsible decision-making and behavior relative to the use of alcoholic beverages.
Distribution procedures must be followed for on-campus events by student organizations and others sponsoring the events for students. The Dean of Students is responsible for interpreting these procedures and for developing guidelines for its implementation. Registering to distribute alcoholic beverages on the campus of the University of Houston is a privilege granted to registered student groups and departments. Failure to adhere to university procedures may result in the denial of future registration and disciplinary action.
Download the Registration of Alcoholic Beverage Distribution Form (PDF)
Procedures for Distribution of Alcoholic Beverages at Student Events
Departments or registered campus organizations desiring to serve or consume any type of alcoholic beverage on campus must register their event in advance by means of the Registration of Alcoholic Beverage Distribution Form. Forms may be obtained from the Dean of Students Office and must be completed and filed in the Dean of Students Office at least 15 business days in advance of the event in order to permit time to clarify issues and to distribute copies of the registration to other university officials. Registration forms must be reviewed by the Dean of Students or designate. A signature from the Dean of Students or designate must be received prior to advertising the event. Individuals within the department or organization must identify themselves as responsible for compliance with the University of Houston's policies on the distribution of alcoholic beverages as well as federal, state and local laws. A copy of the signed registration form for alcoholic beverage distribution must be available at the event as proof that registration was made.
Alcoholic beverages may be distributed in areas approved for programming within designated hours. Space and facilities for the event must be reserved through the appropriate university channels. Alcoholic beverages may be dispensed at campus events between 5 p.m. and 12 a.m. on Monday through Friday and between noon and 12 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For special campus-wide events, the Dean of Students or designate may permit earlier distribution.
Any event at which alcoholic beverages are to be consumed pursuant to this policy may not have that consumption be the main focus of the event. Any publicity for the event may refer to such beverages only as incidental to the event. Advertising will not portray drinking as a solution to personal or academic problems. Also, it may not promote gimmicks or games (i.e., "one charge for all you can drink," "chugging contests," "drink and drown contests," etc.), which enhance irresponsible drinking.
Persons responsible for distributing alcoholic beverages must:
- Be 21 years of age or older.
- Check a valid driver's license or Texas ID for proof of age and identify legal age drinkers by the use of a hand stamp or a wristband.
- Post a sign at the point of distribution indicating "No alcoholic beverages may be consumed by anyone under age 21."
- Have nonalcoholic beverages available and displayed throughout the event as prominently as the alcoholic beverages. If the alcoholic beverages are being distributed free, a nonalcoholic beverage other than water must be available at no charge.
- Stop serving alcoholic beverages one hour before the event's scheduled conclusion or at 12 a.m., whichever is the earlier time.
- Cease serving alcoholic beverages to any person who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substance, to the degree that he or she may endanger himself or another.
- Take other appropriate steps they may identify to encourage the responsible use of alcoholic beverages at their event.
- Post a sign announcing their willingness to call a cab for those under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substance.
- Provide food items in sufficient amounts for the number of persons attending the function.
Students shall not:
- Use false identification cards in order to receive alcoholic beverages;
- Provide alcoholic beverages to a minor;
- Consume alcoholic beverages on campus except in approved food establishments, at events where such beverages are being distributed legally and in approved areas in the residence halls;
- Bring alcoholic beverages into or out of an event where such beverages are being distributed legally.
Students will be held responsible for their guests' compliance with university regulations. The Director of Residential Life and the Director of the University Center may impose additional regulations in the residence halls and in the University Center and Satellite respectively.
For additional information, including a summary of state law, resources for assistance, and educational guidelines or programming, contact the Department of Campus Activities, the Health Center, the UC Reservations Office, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) or the Dean of Students Office.

vacation rental description
This is your home away from home!
This romantic holiday villa is in the traditional style of the grand
old South. If you want to get away from the tourist-populated
beaches on the East Coast of Florida, there are still isolated
beaches and untouched nature to discover on the West Coast of
Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico!
Hudson, in Pasco County, offers peace, quiet, and relaxation, yet
it's centrally situated, within easy driving distance to many of
Florida's attractions. Sea Pines is a safe and relaxed neighborhood
near the shore, where you can buy fresh seafood directly off the
boats! General tourism hasn't over-run this county, which still
retains a polite and charming southern character.
This rustic and delightfully-designed villa has a three sided
covered veranda, a partially covered patio with a solar heated
swimming pool,and an outside shower. One side of property is
Waterfront (direct access to Gulf of Mexico) with a small pier which
is ideal for fishing. You can rent a boat nearby.
The dining room offers a fantastic panoramic view from its tower-
like setting. Shops and restaurants are within convenient driving
distance. We are only 5 min. from BONATI Clinic. VILLA SEAPINES is LICENSED AND INSURED FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS.

By Ginger Truitt
Reporter columnist
— Panic gripped my heart. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think clearly. Tears threatened to spill as I called out to my four- and five-year-olds, "Come quickly! We must go back!"
There were warning signs posted all over the city, but I didn't think it would happen to me. I had been taking precautions for two weeks, but for a few brief moments I was a sitting duck.
My biggest fear on the trip was that I would get separated from one, or both, of my children in the subway. So, I wrote all of our contact information onto slips of paper pinned to their waistbands. I wrote the same information in their shoes, and on their upper arms. I also practiced with them what to do if they were on a train without mommy.
The apartment we had rented in Brussels was overwhelmingly hot and stuffy. We slept with the windows open, but mosquitoes were eating the children alive. So, while hubby was at work, I decided to move our things to a hotel.
I struggled down the steps into the subway with two 50-pound suitcases, three smaller bags and my backpack, keeping a close eye on the children. With great effort we managed to switch to our second train just before it left the platform, watching carefully to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. Upon arriving at our stop, I made sure the kids got off and had just enough time to gather our things.
We moved through the subway station and into the street, while I mentally wrote my next Facebook update: "Took two 50-pound bags, three carry-ons, a backpack, and two small children through three subway stations and on two trains! I am woman! Hear me roar!"
As we trekked our luggage down the cobblestone street, I shifted my backpack to the other shoulder. It was then that I noticed it was hanging wide open! I immediately checked for my wallet and passports, but they were gone. I checked again and again. Definitely gone!
We tried to retrace our steps, but with so much baggage it was nearly impossible. It didn't matter that the backpack was now half-empty.
Five-year-old daughter felt my anxiety and began crying as we pushed our luggage back through the long, dark hallway of the subway station. A homeless, French-speaking woman heard me desperately calling out, "Has anyone seen a yellow wallet?" But she interpreted it as, "I need a toilet!"
She took daughter by the hand, and started dragging her towards another dark hallway. Daughter began crying louder, and I shouted, "No! Stop!"
Three people came running to my assistance, and kept my little girl from being forced into a subway restroom. At this point, four-year-old son began to whimper, and tears were spilling down my cheeks. A teenage girl called the police, and I called hubby. His first thought was that something had happened to the children. As horrible as it was to be stuck in a foreign country with no passports, no cash, and no credit cards, we thanked God over and over that the children were safe.
Hubby double checked to make sure I had not left the wallet in the apartment, and then stayed with the kids while I filed a report at the police station. On the upside, Belgian police officers are really cute. On the downside, they told me they didn't really need my contact information because there was no chance my things would ever be found.
I made the necessary phone calls to cancel the credit cards, arranged an appointment with the U.S. Embassy to obtain new passports, and stayed awake all night, watching the kids to make sure that no one snatched them.
I don't typically carry our passports in my wallet, and I don't typically carry my wallet in my backpack, but a silly string of circumstances had caused me to temporarily move things around. It was a very small window of opportunity for someone to steal everything in one fell swoop. "Took two 50-pound bags, three carry-ons, a backpack, and two small children through three subway stations and on two trains! I am woman. Hear me weep!"

The Chicago Bulls looked like they were going to be underdogs in their home arena on Wednesday night. The Miami Heat won the first meeting between these two teams this season, and they did it with Derrick Rose having a spectacular game. Rose is out of this one with a groin injury, but the Bulls' bench is making up for it.
It's been a rough game for C.J. Watson, who is 0-of-3 from the floor, but John Lucas and the rest of the Chicago bench has been stunning. They have 31 points as a unit and Lucas is 4-for-4 from the floor, good for 11 points. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are producing, but they haven't had much help thus far, and that's why the Bulls are up 53-42 at halftime.
Joakim Noah is having a big game, even if his stats don't indicate anything spectacular. Or perhaps it just feels that way because he did this:
James led all scorers with 20 first-half points, but he didn't end the second quarter on a positive note. Lucas drew an offensive foul on James during a fast break with just over one minute left in the half, and Erik Spoelstra was called for a technical foul for expressing his displeasure to the referees. Wade has chipped in with 13 points of his own.
Chris Bosh is 2-9, but he's not the problem. The other six members of the Heat who have played have one point between them.
There have been some absolutely huge dunks in this game, and Derrick Rose has been incredibly amused with his teammates' play. Perhaps he should watch his language, though.
Bulls great Scottie Pippen is also in the building, and he's joined the raucous crowd by jumping and cheering like the average Joes around him. The Madhouse on Madison is living up to its name, and the Heat look like they're letting the noise get the better of them. Someone not named James or Wade is going to have to start hitting shots to silence the crowd.

Malvern snappers urged to show off photographic skills
Updated 11:06am Thursday 27th February 2014 in News
MALVERN'S happy snappers are being urged to show off their photographic skills and support Malvern In Bloom at the same time.
Organisers are urging the whole town to pull together for victory this year, when Malvern has a unique chance to go for the national Britain in Bloom title.
John Jordan, the chairman of Malvern in Bloom, said: "It's a rare opportunity, and we want to make the most of it, so we are urging everyone to do their best.
"With digital photography and mobile phones, people are taking more pictures than ever before, and we're urging them to take beautiful floral pictures and send them in to us."
And to start the ball rolling, Mr Jordan has taken this picture of some of the first flowers of spring blooming in Priory Park, outside the Council House.
"Not everyone has a garden or a hanging basket that can contribute to the floral displays when the judges come visiting later in the summer, but anyone with a camera can do their bit," he said.
"There will be two sets of judges, regional and national, and they will start their visits a t the Priory, where there will be a PowerPoint presentation. We always put together a brochure for the judges as well, and we need pictures for that as well."
2014 is Britain in Bloom's 50th year and Malvern will be competing against cities, towns and villages from all over the UK for the coveted title. The town was awarded the opportunity after last year winning the Heart of England in Bloom trophy for the sixth time.
As well as floral displays, judges will inspect everything from recycling initiatives to areas of natural habitat and conservation. They will also be looking at the management of street furniture and public parks, and will be giving awards for sustainable practices and inventive schemes to raise money to fund projects.
Pictures should be sent to Lyndsey Davies, Malvern Town Council's events and operations officer on firstname.lastname@example.com.

MIAMI (AP) - Justin Upton homered, doubled twice and scored three runs to help the Atlanta Braves earn their 27th comeback victory when they beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 Tuesday night.
The Braves overcame deficits of 3-1 and 4-3. They lead the NL in come-from-behind wins.
Pitchers for the two teams combined to retire 30 consecutive batters Monday, when Atlanta won 7-1 in 14 innings. The second game of the series was a slugfest by comparison, with Upton leading the way.
He doubled home a run in the third, doubled and scored to make it 4-all in the fifth, then hit his 16th home run - but first since June 12 - leading off the seventh against reliever Ryan Webb.
In Monday's marathon, Upton hit a two-run double to put Atlanta ahead in the final inning.

Campbell delivers in time!
Mark Campbell hauled in a rebound and scored just as the clock hit 0:00, just seconds after his would-be tying goal was called a no-goal, to give Andover a 3-3 tie with Arlington Catholic.
Trailing by a goal with nine seconds to play, Andover seemed to tie the game when Campbell fired a shot into the goal. But the referees ruled it did not cross the goal line.
Arlington Catholic then won the following faceoff, but Tyler Weeks went into a scrum and came out with the puck. He then passed it across to Scott Campbell who fired a shot on net from the boards. It was saved, but Mark Campbell was able to pick up the puck and knock it into an open net as time expired.
Rivalry win for Lancers
Eric Colburn and Jason Parker each potted two goals as Londonderry scored three times in the third to turn a one-goal deficit into a 7-5 victory over archrival Pinkerton in the Salem Holiday Tournament.
North Reading wins big
Michael Brandano scored three goals and assisted on another as North Reading rolled over Boston Latin 8-0. Keith Linnane starred in net with 37 saves.

The Board delegates to the superintendent the authority to suspend any staff member for any legal
reason in accordance with district policy and law. Action shall be taken when, in the judgment of
the superintendent, the best interests of the school will be served by immediate suspension. In such
cases suspension may be in force until the next regular meeting of the Board or until a special
meeting can be called to consider the problem.
Employees without Contracts
The superintendent may suspend, with or without pay, professional staff members who are not under
contract. The superintendent shall report any such suspension to the Board of Education. The
superintendent's decision will stand approved unless reversed by the Board.
Employees with Contracts
Employees with contracts may be suspended with pay in accordance with law.
Employees with contracts may be suspended without pay only after appropriate due process. Prior
to suspending a professional staff member without pay during the term of a contract, the district will
notify the employee of the charges, give the employee an opportunity to discuss the charges and
inform the employee of the opportunity to appeal the suspension to the Board of Education. The
employee must request an appeal within ten days of notice of suspension without pay. If the
employee appeals, the employee may also be suspended with pay pending the appeal. In general,
pay will not be withheld until the Board renders its decision, unless an appeal has been waived.
Special Circumstances Requiring Suspension
Pursuant to state law, any employee who strip searches a student in violation of law will be
immediately suspended without pay and may be terminated. Prior to suspending a professional staff
member with an employment contract, the district will notify the employee of the charges, give the
employee an opportunity to discuss the charges and inform the employee of the opportunity to appeal
the suspension to the Board of Education. If the Board reverses the suspension, the employee will
be reimbursed for any pay withheld. Depending on the length and nature of the suspension, the
employee may receive additional due process as required by law.
If the district receives information that an employee has allegedly been involved in sexual
misconduct with a student or any other child, the district will suspend the employee pending an
investigation. In accordance with law, the district will suspend or continue a suspension of an
employee if the Children's Division (CD) of the Department of Social Services finds that an
allegation of sexual misconduct with a student is substantiated, but the district may return the
employee to his or her position if the finding is reversed by a court on appeal and becomes final. The
district reserves the right to suspend or terminate an employee for any legal reason, including sexual
misconduct, regardless of whether another agency or a court substantiates the claim. A hearing will
be provided to an employee upon request when required by law.

With a mission to introduce young people to new ideas and help them understand the nature of leadership in the arts for the 21st century, LALI will feature a set of virtual seminars, panels, online discussions and more hosted by experienced arts leaders. The program is designed for high school and undergraduates interested in arts leadership, and is completely free.
"We're thrilled to welcome Stanford Thompson as our first speaker. He is a musician and educator who is passionate about using music education and performance for social innovation," said Interlochen President Jeffrey S. Kimpton. "We had the honor of hosting Stanford this past October as part of our symposium, and he truly connected with our students and inspired them to start thinking about their futures as performers and leaders."
Mr. Thompson was the founding Director of Operations for the Atlanta Trumpet Festival (2004-08). He also serves as the President and Artistic Director for the Reading Summer Music Institute since 2008, Program Director of the Meru (Kenya) Music Project since 2009, founding Director of Tune Up Philly in 2010, and Executive Director of the El Sistema-inspired program Play On, Philly! in 2011.
As a conductor and educator, he has served as clinician for the Music In Charter Schools annual festival and Philadelphia All-City Brass Symposium. He has served on faculty for the Atlanta Academy of Music and Symphony in C Summer Music Camp. He has also presented master classes and clinics to all ages in over 100 presentations worldwide. Mr. Thompson also teaches on the faculty with the New England Conservatory's Abreu Fellows Program and mentors students at The Curtis Institute of Music.
As a trumpeter, Mr. Thompson has performed with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Curtis Symphony Orchestra, Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, Symphony in C and recorded on the Ondine label with Christoph Eschenbach. Stanford also appeared as soloist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Ocean City Pops Orchestra and the North Springs Philharmonic. He has lead residencies with Philos Brass in Milford, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia. In the jazz idiom, he has performed for the Berks Jazz Festival, performed on the Washington College Concert Series and presented for the opening gala of the Philadelphia Orchestra with the Rittenhouse Jazz Quintet. Currently, he is a member of the Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra and Philos Brass.
For El Sistema-inspired programs he has designed and consulted, Mr. Thompson has secured over $1 million in funding which has lead to the direct impact of thousands of children around the world. In Philadelphia, specifically, his students have performed on the stages of the Kimmel Center, Mann Music Center, and the Wanamaker Building and collaborated with students during the first national convening of El Sistema-inspired programs in the United States. The network of children orchestras in Philadelphia are expanding to diverse neighborhoods and steadily proving their impact on social ills the targeted communities face.
Mr. Thompson is a graduate of The Curtis Institute of Music where he holds a Bachelor's degree in performance and the New England Conservatory's Abreu Fellows Program. He serves on the board of the American Composers Forum Philadelphia Chapter and recognized as one of Philadelphia's top 76 Creative Connectors. He has presented at international conferences at TED, League of American Orchestras. Sistema Canada, and El Sistema USA.
