HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky. (5/15/13) – On Tuesday, May 15, 2013, the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) received a complaint from an employee at Hopkins County Coal that someone had gotten onto their property and had removed a transformer from the dragline located on their property.
During the investigation, a truck pulling a trailer and 4-wheeler was observed leaving the area. After a short search, there were two subjects in the vehicle found to be in possession of several items used to cut the metals and there were items located in the truck found to have been taken from the drag line site.
The two subjects, 35-year-old Ricky Miller and 22-year-old William Hawkins were charged with theft of two transformers valued at over $10,000 each, Obscuring the Identity of a Machine (the serial number/vin number was removed) from the 4-wheeler they possessed, and Criminal Mischief 1st for the damage caused to the dragline.
The individuals were found to be in possession of several acetylene tanks and torch heads used for cutting the metals, and also found to be in possession of copper metal recovered from one of the stolen transformers.
Both suspects were arrested and housed in the Hopkins County Detention Center

Running In The Rain
Who gets wetter? A person running through the rain or a person walking? This has long been the subject of debate among school kids, but did you know it has even been the subject of at least three clinical studies with varying conclusions?
Killer Deck
Is it possible to throw a regular playing card fast enough to inflict bodily harm? Adam and Jamie put it to the test to see if an ordinary playing card can be turned into an instrument of death, and actually kill someone.
Buttered Side Down or Up?
Adam and Jamie try out one of the most popular myths around does toast really fall buttered side down? In this breakfast brain teaser, they each build a rig to simulate toast being dropped from the dining room table. The aim is to eliminate human hands from the equation, and they decide to join forces and design the most high-tech toast maker and dropper possible. Always looking to push the envelope, they end up tossing toast off the workshop roof, in an endeavour to answer this age-old myth once and for all.
Phone Booth Quick Change
Youre not seeing things. As uncomfortable as it is, its true. The MythBusters are wearing their underpants on the outside. And why? To see how quickly you can change into a super-outfit before fighting crime.
Plane on A Conveyer Belt
Adam and Jamie wrestle at the controls of a super-controversial myth thats confounded the fans, confused the physicists and even upset Jamie! Finally, after numerous requests, the guys tackle the monster myth Airplane on a Conveyor Belt! Will an airplane be able to take off if the conveyor belt it is sitting on matches its takeoff speed, but in the opposite direction?
Blind Driver
Theres a classic scene in the movie Scent of a Woman where Al Pacinos blind character takes the wheel of a Ferrari® and puts his pedal to the metal. Assisted by his panicked passenger, he cruises down the back streets of New York. But is this really possible? Adam and Jamie take turns in putting on the blindfold to try this out.
Phone Book Friction
If you interweave the pages of two phone books, are they impossible to pull apart? In true MythBusters style the team ramps and revs things up until they get the answers they need by trying to pull apart two phone books, using everything from human strength to the biggest tool they can find!
Hurricane Window
The myth contends that a house will suffer significantly less damage in a major storm if all the windows are actually left open. Small-scale tests at a nearby NASA research facility provide some very clear data, so its off to The University of Florida to test a bigger house with the worlds largest portable hurricane simulator. The MythBusters huff and puff their way towards a spectacular conclusion: is there really a difference between windows open and windows closed?
Fall Guys
To cling on by your fingertips is a classic silver screen cliché that the guys couldnt resist investigating. Just about every action movie has a variation of the death defying clings, but are any of them actually viable? To find out, our intrepid trio tackle two. First can you hang on indefinitely? In the movies there seems to be no limit to the heroes hang-time and they keep their grip until good guy number two comes to the rescue. To test it, the team simply hangs out. Albeit above an adrenaline inducing 75 foot drop!
Tablecloth Chaos
Adam and Jamie take on the traditional magic trick of the tablecloth whip, but with a supercharged twist.
Dodge A Bullet
Adam and Jamie test whether you can ever jump out of the way of a bullet. From measuring the travel time of bullets, to testing human reaction time, to studying the visual clarity of a muzzle flash in the first place. And its an epic journey that ends in the only way it can with the guys shooting each other and trying to jump out of the way.
BONUS - Best Explosions
Adam and Jamie go for destructive results as they compete for the best explosion. Find out if using a cell phone at a gas station will cause the pump to explode and test the limits of a homemade tree cannon.

The Nutcracker
Act 1
Scene 1
Christmas Eve in a small German town in the mid-nineteenth century. The lights of Counselor Stahlbaum's house glisten in the falling snow. Guests loaded with presents - children and adults - hurry toward the house. Among them we see Uncle Drosselmeyer, a friend of the children.
Scene 2
For a fleeting moment we see the excited children anxiously peeking through the doors. Among them is the host's son, Michael. Drosselmeyer opens the doors to the salon, in the center of which sparkles the Christmas tree.
Scene 3
The children dance around the tree, and in the end receive their presents. The adults celebrate, toast each other, and dance an old-fashioned dance much to the delight of Grandmother and Grandfather. Drosselmeyer grabs the childrens' attention by appearing dressed as a magician. His puppets perform a battle between a fairy tale prince and an evil mouse king, in which the prince saves his love, the princess. Wonder of wonders! The dance of the mechanical dolls begins. The clown, the porcelain doll and the moor doll all come to life. Drosselmeyer sneaks yet another present under the Christmas tree: a nutcracker. No one wants the grotesque doll expect Maria, the hosts' young daughter. Feeling sorry for the orphaned toy, she reaches for it. She plays with it and rocks it but her brother Michael, being curious about the strange doll, wants to play with it as well. The nutcracker falls victim to the children's squabbles and his jaw breaks. Drosselmeyer puts everything in order and makes peace... but it is getting late. The guests slowly bid farewell, the house becomes quiet, and the lights are dimmed.
Act 2
Scene 1
We are in Maria's bedroom. Before going to sleep, the young girl rocks the doll once more and places it in the large biedermeier armchair. She daydreams about the evening's festivities and imagines wild mice munching away on the Christmas candies. On the verge of falling asleep, she tries to defend the nutcracker from them... and begins to dream.
Scene 2
The Christmas tree becomes enormous, the toys take on a new dimension, and the giant Mouse King springs forth. The Nutcracker comes to life and, at the head of his army of tin soldiers, defends the Christmas tree. A duel ensues between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker, and lo and behold, the Nutcracker is victorious while the mice flee. We catch a glimpse of Drosselmeyer among the branches of the Christmas tree and at the moment the Nutcracker magically transforms into a handsome, young prince. The wise old Drosselmeyer hands his magic wand over to the prince.
Scene 3
The stage pictures a snowy forest. Maria appears as a young princess, and the Nutcracker greets her with adoration. They discover their feelings for one another while dancing a delicate, dream-like pas de deux. As a finale, the prince gently lifts the princess on his outstretched arms and leaves the stage with her. Snowflakes begin to swirl and come to life. At first only four, then more and more snowflakes dance onto the stage. They become a giant snowball, then break apart into smaller groups and, finally a giant circle of snowflakes envelopes the stage. Bells toll during the gentle snowfall and soon only one or two snowflakes remain. Maria and the prince, arm-in-arm, begin their long journey, following the snowflakes.
Act 3
Scene 1
Maria and the prince sail on a fairy tale sea in a golden ship. The 'journey' gently rocks them and the beautiful music accompanies the young couple to the prince's kingdom.
Scene 2
The ship docks near a seaside cave. The prince looks for the road leading to his kingdom. All of a sudden, bats - allies of the beaten Mouse King - obstruct their path. However, the prince is again victorious with the help of the magic wand he received from Drosselmeyer.
Scene 3
At the lace palace, the inhabitants of the 'Doll Kingdom' greet the returning prince and his bride, Maria, with deep adoration. The dolls display their beauty through a series of dances: First, we see four dancers performing a vivid Spanish dance. They are followed by the rhythms of an Eastern dance in which the main dancer is accompanied by four ballerinas bearing silk scarves. With jumps and quick turns,
Chinese dolls dance to the staccato music. They are soon followed by Russian dancers. A rococo pas de trois is performed by children resembling Limoges porcelain dolls. The performance reaches its peak with the Waltz of Roses, featuring eight pairs of dancers and four soloists, who are joined by Princess Maria and the Nutcracker Prince. Their classic pas de deux is a beautiful declaration of love. All the beautiful dolls of the lace palace join in for the finale. The scenery is transformed, and the Christmas tree appears in shining light. The happy couple moves toward the beautiful tree- and at this point, Maria's dream comes to an end.
Scene 4
We are in the young girl's bedroom. The nanny tiptoes in and wakes the sleeping Maria. The child rubs her eyes. Still half asleep, she runs to the Nutcracker and embraces it... they had a wonderful dream together.

Beware....I ordered 2 of these and they do not look like the picture at all. They're white and have the logo but the bottle is totally different. I am really disappointed. What is picture is what the Pros use....What I received just looked cheap....

Great Bottle
I wanted a simple/smaller bottle with no indent that would fit snug into my carbon holders. These work perfect!

Drink like a boss
I bought two of these bottles because of the little scorpion fella and because I wanted to match my other Castelli gear. They're nice and have a diesel cover to them.
My only complaint is the stickers were a pain to get off. I had to use some acetone to completely remove the goo. You could probably keep them on there, if you're not OCD like myself. I also gave them a bath in the dishwasher prior to use.
They're water bottles. They hold liquid. What more do you want?
Rob Jorgenson
It holds water!
This is a very basic water bottle and it works fine for that. The bottle is soft and easy to squeeze when I want a gush of water rather than a trickle. A litle on the small side so don't plan on this alone if you're going out for a long ride. In any case, I'm a sucker for the Castelli logo so I couldn't resist.

Sign Up for E-mail Updates on EQIP and Other NRCS Programs
With EQIP, the farm owner was able to install a barnyard crossing.
EQIP is a voluntary conservation program that provides technical and financial assistance to help farmers and forest landowners implement conservation practices to reduce pollution and improve natural resources. Practice payments based on average costs to implement conservation practices. Payment rates are listed on the annual Practice Payment Schedule. Limited resource Farmers, Beginning Farmers and Ranchers, and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers are eligible for higher payment rates.
EQIP contracts can be as short as one year with a one year maintenance period. Most projects are completed within three to four years. Total EQIP payments cannot exceed $300,000 per person or entity over the six-year period from 2009 through 2014.
Soil health; Reduce non-point source pollution, such as nutrients, sediment, pesticides, or excess salinity in impaired watersheds
Water quality and quantity;
Nutrient management;
Pest management;
Air quality;
Wildlife habitat, including pollinator habitat;
Invasive species management.
Pennsylvania's EQIP program options reflect national, state, and local environmental priorities. Ranking factors for each option include evaluation questions that reflect national, state, and local priorities.
A detailed listing of current program options is available by following the above link.
Applicants must have an interest in an agricultural operation, either as a producer of crops or livestock, or as an owner of land on which an eligible agricultural operation exists. Eligible land includes cropland, pasture, agricultural activities on areas used for livestock and poultry production, private non-industrial forestland, and other farm lands.
Applicants must comply with USDA's Highly Erodible Land (HEL)/Wetland Conservation provisions. For HEL, erosion must be reduced to minimum acceptable levels by the first year of the contract.
Due to the lack of a new Farm Bill, new Fiscal Year 2014 participants are not currently required to comply with Adjusted Gross Income provisions (the three-year AGI cannot exceed $1 million, with some exceptions if at least two-thirds of the income is from agricultural production). This is subject to change; participants will be notified if AGI compliance is required as a condition for receiving Fiscal Year 2014 funding.
Priority is given to applicants who have a current conservation plan. The conservation plan should describe the practices that will be included on the contract and the schedule for implementing the practices.
Preference is given to applicants who can complete work within 1-3 years.
EQIP participants receiving funds for animal waste storage, handling, or treatment practices are required to develop and implement a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan.
Participants agree to maintain conservation practices for the practice life span, which may exceed the length of the contract.
Conservation Practices must meet or exceed Pennsylvania NRCS standards and specifications.
Applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year with periodic pooling dates to evaluate, rank, prioritize and select applicants. See Program Application Dates and Deadlines.
The Conservation Program Application (NRCS-CPA-1200) is used to apply.
Other documents that may need to be filed are listed in Part 1 of the contract Appendix (Appendix to Form NRCS-CPA-1200 Conservation Program Contract). These documents, if not already filed, include verification of compliance with Highly Erodible Land/Wetland Conservation provisions (AD-1026); self-certification with compliance with Adjusted Gross Income AGI provisions (current version, if determined to be needed; and for applicants applying as a legal entity or joint operation, listing of members associated with the business using either a current Members Information form (CCC901) or Farm Operating Plan for an Entity (CCC902).
Applicants who wish to designate a Power of Attorney to act on their behalf can use the joint FSA/NRCS Power of Attorney form (FSA-211) to identify people who can sign application and contract documents on their behalf.
Applicants are asked to identify the practice(s) for which they are requesting assistance and the farm(s) on which the proposed practices would be installed.
Forms are available online at USDA Service Center Agencies eForms or at a local USDA Service Center.
Requests for assistance normally exceed available funding. A screening and ranking process is used to evaluate each application to determine which applications provide the most benefits and can be offered funding assistance. Applicants with existing conservation program contracts that are out of compliance or behind schedule are assigned a low priority and not further ranked until other eligible applications are considered.
The review of applications requests will begin with applications received by the end of current cycle and will continue as long as funds are available. Because of the large demand for EQIP assistance, funds are sometimes expended after a few ranking cycles.
Contracts will be awarded to producers with the highest rankings until funds are exhausted. Upon request by the applicant, applications that are not funded in the current fiscal year funding cycle can be retained for consideration in the next federal fiscal year (Begins October 1st).

A couple years ago, Rachel baby powdered my blow dryer, BUT my eldest called and warned me about it, but said she wasn't ruining any of the other AFDJ Rachel had planned. I found no other jokes (which I think was the joke in itself to have me paranoid all day ) But it didn't work!

Sweet Siriano
"Project Runway" dynamo Christian Siriano proved he's far more than a reality TV winner last weekend. The incredibly talented fashion designer came to town for Runway & Rescue, a benefit for the Shelby County Humane Society, presented by Glasscock.
During a Friday night VIP trunk show at The Henry Clay, Christian went to great lengths to converse with attendees and make them feel special, whether they purchased his clothes or not.
Later that evening, a small group of us had dinner with Christian at Eddie Merlot's. As Todd Calvert remarked about our special guest, "He's just so nice!"
On Saturday – after what I'm told was a lovely stay at 21c – Christian and his crew returned to The Henry Clay for a public meet 'n' greet and trunk show. Then, he spent the latter part of the early evening working with the evening's fashion show producer Sug Schusterman and the gorgeous gals of Heyman Talent and several notable (and just as beautiful) local women.
I spoke with Christian several times throughout the weekend, which ended Sunday after brunch at North End Café and a visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum. Each time we conversed, I was even more enamored. He's not only incredibly creative and passionate, but he's also the real deal.
Here's hoping Christian comes back soon.

Seventeen Moments in Soviet History contains a rich archive of texts, images, maps and audio and video materials from the Soviet era (1917-1991). The materials are arranged by year and by subject, are fully searchable, and are translated into English. Students, educators, and scholars will find fascinating materials about Soviet propaganda, politics, economics, society, crime, literature, art, dissidents and hundreds of other topics. more
Debates have raged for years over whether the Soviet legacy was best characterized by its successes or its crimes. Was Lenin's revolution one of history's great events, later perverted by Stalin; or was the October Revolution, which rejected God, dispossessed large segments of the population, and made the entire people subject to the state, flawed from the moment of inception? Rather than answering the question, we hope with this web site to help students and readers understand the more complicated truth, that at all moments of its history, the Soviet Union offered experiences of great good and great evil. Soviet citizens were forced to understand them as a whole. The object of this web site is to give users a sense of what this total experience was like, using the original words of the participants. We have selected from Soviet history seventeen moments - following the title of a beloved spy series of the seventies - almost at random but not entirely.

The August 1991 coup, designed to halt the weakening of the centralized USSR, ironically hastened the Union's dissolution. Declarations of independence by the constituent republics, the abolition of all-Union institutions and the transfer of their assets to the republics, and increasing international acceptance of these developments sapped what little strength there had been in the Union. While Gorbachev tried desperately to find a formula to halt the centrifugal process, his former political allies, reading the signs, abandoned him one after the other. And yet, there was no inevitability about the decision to replace the Soviet Union with a Commonwealth of Independent States. That decision, adopted by the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia, seems to have been made hastily if not whimsically.
On August 23, 1991 Boris Eltsin, as President of the RSFSR, decreed the suspension of the Russian Communist Party on the grounds that it had lent its support to the coup attempt and had otherwise violated Soviet and Russian laws. Gorbachev, who upon returning to Moscow after the coup had tried to absolve the party of any blame and announced his intention of continuing his efforts to reform the party, was left with little choice but to resign as General Secretary of the entire (All-Union) party, which he did two days later. Seeking to counter the further erosion of central authority, Gorbachev persuaded a majority in the Congress of People's Deputies in early September to dissolve that body in favor of a State Council which would consist of republic leaders and Gorbachev and act in a temporary capacity until a new bicameral legislature could be elected. Aside from approving independence for the three Baltic republics, the State Council accomplished nothing and was largely ignored by republic governments. Eltsin, swelled with new powers granted by the Russian parliament, meanwhile accelerated the transfer of central institutions to Russian authority.
December turned out to be the month in which the fatal blows to the Soviet Union were delivered. On December 1, voters in Ukraine overwhelmingly approved a referendum on independence and by a smaller margin elected Leonid Kravchuk, a former Communist Party boss turned nationalist, as their first president. A week later, at a hunting lodge in Belovezhskaia Pushcha, not far from the Belorussian capital of Minsk, Eltsin, Kravchuk and the Belorussian leader, Stanislav Shushkevich, signed a declaration terminating the Soviet Union and replacing it with the Commonwealth of Independent States. Gorbachev, who had not been consulted or informed beforehand, publicly responded by declaring his "amazement" and urging republic parliaments to discuss the draft Treaty on the Union of Sovereign States on which he had worked tirelessly over the previous months. On December 21, the presidents of all the other republics with the exception of Georgia (already embroiled in civil war) and the three Baltic states, declared their willingness to enter the Commonwealth. Finally, on December 25, Gorbachev announced his acceptance of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and his resignation as its president.
1917: The October Revolution2013-03-11 17:45:40 Kristen Edwards
The Bolshevik seizure of power in Petrograd in October 1917 was celebrated for over seventy years by the Soviet government as a sacred act that laid the foundation for a new political order which would transform "backward" Russia (and after 1923 the Soviet Union) into an advanced socialist society. Officially known as the October Revolution (or simply "October"), it was regarded by the Bolsheviks' enemies -- and continued to be interpreted by many western historians -- as a conspiratorial coup that deprived Russia of the opportunity to establish a democratic polity.
"The Bolsheviks, having obtained a majority in the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies in both capitals, can and must take state power into their own hands ... The majority of the people are on our side." Thus did Lenin, still in Finland as a fugitive from arrest on charges leveled in the aftermath of the July Days, cajole his party's Central Committee in September. Lenin's assessment of the shifting balance of forces was acute. So was his sense of urgency. The leftward swing in popular sentiment after the Kornilov Affair was strengthening the Bolsheviks, but also the more radical elements of the SR and Menshevik parties committed to the establishment of an all-socialist coalition government. While most Bolsheviks also favored such an arrangement and looked forward to the Second All-Russia Congress of Soviets as the vehicle for delivering it, Lenin was adamant that only an insurrection could deal a decisive blow to the Provisional Government and the threat of counter-revolution. On October 10, having returned to Petrograd, he obtained, by a vote of 10-2, a resolution of the Central Committee in favor of making an armed uprising the order of the day.
It was a measure of the Provisional Government's over-confidence and isolation that even after the two Bolshevik dissenters, Grigorii Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev, went public with their dissent, it did not take any decisive measures. In the meantime, the Bolsheviks managed to fashion the Military Revolutionary Committee (MRC) of the Petrograd Soviet into a command center for carrying out the insurrection. Kerenskii's ill-conceived decision to shut down the Bolsheviks' printing press, an action that evoked the specter of counter-revolution, turned out to be the impetus for the uprising. On October 24, Red Guards and soldiers under the MRC's command, began to occupy key points in the city. By the following day, the assembled delegates to the soviet congress were informed that the Bolsheviks had taken power in the name of the soviets, and that they should proceed to form a Workers' and Peasants' Government. Within minutes, the battleship Aurora was bombarding (with blank shells) the Winter Palace, where most of the Provisional Government's ministers waited in anxious expectation, and the Palace was stormed by Red Guards. As the Menshevik and SR delegates stormed out of the soviet congress in protest, Trotsky, the congress' president, told them to join "the rubbish heap of history."
1973: KVN is Canceled2011-03-28 21:48:15 Jim von Geldern
Christine Evans has contributed an essay entitled KVN is Canceled under 1973
The most popular Soviet television program of the 1960s was a satirical game show and contest of wits called Club of the Merry and Resourceful, known by its initials in Russian as KVN. First broadcast in April 1961, KVN drew on Soviet traditions of student amateur theater and Odessan Jewish humor. It also aimed to replicate the excitement and emotions of spectator sport--KVN's ambitious young producers referred to the show as "intellectual soccer." The show was organized as a competition between two teams of students, almost exclusively male, from elite technical universities and institutes, who competed in contests of humor, knowledge, and improvisation, before a jury of celebrities and an audience of "fans." KVN quickly became a national craze, performed throughout the Soviet Union in schools, factory clubs, and rural houses of culture. Famous players and team captains became household names, appearing on other television shows and enjoying lucrative perks from team sponsors. In 1972, although it was still very popular, KVN was canceled.
The show may have been doomed by the expansion of the Soviet television audience in the decade since KVN's first broadcast. From 1965 to 1970, the number of television sets per Soviet family doubled, from roughly one set per four families, to one set per two families, with much greater saturation in urban areas. In 1967, Moscow's Central Television moved into the powerful new Ostankino television center, and began satellite broadcasting. Its signal reached roughly 70% of Soviet territory by 1970. Soviet authorities, accustomed to limiting the distribution of critical and unconventional arts and media to the urban intelligentsia, may have felt KVN's satire was not acceptable fare for television's increasingly provincial and rural audience.
There were practical and political reasons for the show's demise as well. For years, rumors and press accounts charged that fame and money were corrupting the show's "merry play." KVN's satire and irreverent student protagonists were also a poor fit for the more repressive political climate of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Even after it began to be filmed and edited in advance, rather than broadcast live, KVN did not please the censors. Disillusioned, and subject to tighter limits on what could be said on air, the teams' young players had become "ungovernable," according to KVN's producers and editors. The arrival, in April 1970, of Sergei Lapin, as the new head of radio and television, likewise doomed the show. Lapin, an ideological hardliner closely allied with the Politburo's chief propagandist, Mikhail Suslov, was particularly hostile to KVN. Lapin had initiated the removal of prominent Jewish television personalities from the air; he likely objected to KVN's distinctly Odessan Jewish style and prominent Jewish players.
KVN returned to the air in 1986, brought back during the years of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms. (It remains a very popular show among Russians today). It would be easy to see the cancelation and return of KVN as a reflection of larger trends: two eras of reform and experimentation--the early 1960s and the late 1980s--with two decades of repression and cultural stagnation in between. But in fact, experimentation on Central Television never really went away during the 1970s. KVN was gone, but many very popular new game shows were created in the early 1970s. Let's Go, Girls! (1970) was a kind of Soviet beauty contest, with young bakers, tram drivers, and factory workers competing in professional, housekeeping, and style contests. Its counterpart, Let's Go, Guys! (1971) featured athletic contests and motorcycle racing. Another extremely popular humor program of the late 1960s, 13 Chairs Pub--set in a Polish bar inhabited by lovably corrupt, shallow, and foolish ne'er-do-wells who wore Dior dresses and sang and danced in Polish, English, and German--was not canceled until 1980, when conflicts between the Polish government and the Solidarity protest movement finally made the show's exotic setting politically unacceptable. 1976 saw the first broadcast of a quiz show, called What? Where? When?, that focused, like KVN, on intelligentsia youth and was set around a roulette wheel in the Ostankino Television Center's bar. All of these shows raised, however indirectly, highly politicized questions of ethics, values, and the nature of authority in Soviet society.
KVN's cancelation exposed the political risks of television entertainment, but game shows and other popular TV programs also offered solutions to the Soviet state's Cold War problems. Game shows could direct consumer demand, define Soviet norms of taste, and promote acceptable popular music as an alternative to Western styles. These objectives were especially important during Détente, when the easing of military competition with the United States increased the stakes in soft, cultural arenas. Quiz shows and other entertainments also offered a way to focus on the moral and intellectual superiority of Soviet people, rather than on their standard of living. The imperative to entertain audiences in order to influence them ensured that Central Television's staff continued to experiment with lively, original, and popular shows and genres throughout the 1970s.
1956: Repealing the Ban on Abortion2011-01-19 19:28:47 Jim von Geldern
Amy Randall has contributed an essay entitled Repealing the Ban on Abortion under 1956.
In 1955 the Soviet government lifted its ban on abortion (which had been in place since 1936 after an earlier period of legalization). Official pronatalism informed this policy shift: Communist authorities and medical experts hoped to fortify the nation's reproductive capacity because they believed that illegal underground abortion adversely affected women's procreative health to a greater extent than legal medicalized abortion. Unlike the 1920 decree that had first decriminalized the procedure, the 1955 decree recognized a woman's right to control her reproduction. But it also emphasized that preventing abortion -- illegal and legal -- remained a key government objective.
Public health officials and activists as well as medical experts and personnel were largely responsible for the antiabortion campaign that subsequently unfolded. Despite some regional differences, the campaign's basic contours were the same: to emphasize the perils of abortion and spread pronatalist propaganda among the wider Soviet populace. Educational efforts targeted not only women's medical facilities but also workplace and non-workplace settings, such as workers' dormitories, schools, and various public venues. In 1956, for example, medical personnel coordinated over 20,000 antiabortion lectures and talks throughout the city of Tashkent. Journal articles and health pamphlets entitled "Don't deprive yourself of motherhood" and "Abortion doesn't happen without consequences" sounded the alarm about the procedure, as did posters, photo exhibits, the radio, and movies. The 1956 film, Why Did I Do That?, emphasized how ending a pregnancy could lead to irreparable harm by destroying a woman's chances of becoming a mother.
Medicalized abortion was certainly not without danger in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the Soviet Union with its inadequate medical facilities. Educational strategy, however, was not non-partisan: the point was to discourage abortion by highlighting its risks and costs, even in misleading ways. Thus, even though health professionals and educators acknowledged that medicalized abortion was safer than underground illegal abortion -- hence the change in abortion policy -- they still described the procedure as dangerous or extremely dangerous. Chronicling numerous potential health complications, they characterized women as "victims" who had "to survive the severity of abortion" and its "frequent" adverse effects. Although international studies from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s indicated that medicalized abortion caused few serious complications such as inflammatory disease or infertility, the Soviet antiabortion campaign repeatedly emphasized the possibility of these dire consequences, and cautioned women against denying themselves the "happiness of motherhood." By warning women that abortion-related infertility was linked not only to personal unhappiness but also to family unhappiness and the destruction of marriage, the campaign suggested that women who suffered this side-effect would lead lives of loneliness, lives without children or husbands.
The antiabortion campaign evoked people's fears in an effort to control them and bolster the regime's pronatalist agenda. It also contributed to shifts in official discourse about the family, gender roles, and sexual norms. Whereas in the early Soviet years and Stalin era men were frequently eliminated or marginalized in representations of the Soviet family, particularly in the immediate post-WWII period when the government legitimized and endorsed "single-mother" families, during the Khrushchev era husbands and fathers began to figure more prominently. By representing abortion as a husbandly concern and fatherly matter, the antiabortion campaign helped to promulgate a more heteronormative family model and a new image of "responsible" husbands and fathers in the post-Stalin era which embedded masculine identity more firmly in the family. A 1962 antiabortion poster featuring the text "For you, comrade men" in the largest letters underscores the ways in which the campaign reenvisioned men's roles in the reproductive sphere and the family. It also demonstrates how the regime sought to regulate women's reproductive behavior via manipulative rhetoric rather than prohibitive laws.
1961: The Moral Code of the Builder of Communism2010-06-28 20:19:34 Jim von Geldern
Deborah A. Field has contributed an essay entitled The Moral Code of the Builder of Communism under 1961.
The "Moral Code of the Builder of Communism," its compilers asserted, was superior to all other ethical systems. Presented as part of the official program at the twenty-second Communist Party Congress in 1961, the code consisted of twelve tenets. First and foremost was "devotion to the Communist cause, love toward the Socialist Motherland and to Socialist countries." The remaining eleven principles were meant to govern human relations on all levels, from international to interpersonal.
The code's issuance represented the culmination of a process: over the course of the previous decade, Soviet party and government officials, scholars, and experts had developed, elaborated, and publicized the principles of Communist morality. Communist morality was supposed to replace coercion as a means of ensuring political and social stability and economic growth; it required political loyalty, hard work, and the proper conduct of private life. Under fully developed communism, public and private interests would be perfectly harmonized. But during the contemporary transitional period, in cases where conflicts arose, personal needs were to be subordinated to public priorities. Professionals and moralists in a variety of fields determined what attitudes and behaviors constituted a correct Communist private life, putting forth specific instructions about sex, love, marriage and child rearing. Trade union, party, Komsomol, and a host of new voluntary organizations were supposed to help enforce these standards. These groups included parent-school associations; apartment house committees; druzhiny, teams that patrolled the streets to arrest hooligans, drunks, and other disturbers of public order; and comrades' courts, which were empowered to reprimand, fine, and shame people who neglected their children, disrespected their parents, damaged their apartments, or failed to get along with their neighbors.
Yet, at the same time, by 1961, Khrushchev's reforms had increased individuals' autonomy over their personal lives. The taming and restructuring of the secret police meant that, for the most part, state terror no longer disrupted family relations as it had under Stalin. Divorce became progressively easier to obtain, and the ban on abortion was lifted. The government launched an ambitious housing construction program with the goal of moving families out of communal apartments, barracks and dormitories and into their own individual apartments. The "Thaw" in literature and film meant that heroes were allowed to demonstrate their concern for intimate relations as well as production.
Thus the Khrushchev government provided new opportunities for professionals, officials, and volunteers to intervene in private life, but also new ways for people to evade, resist, and make use of that interference. Some ignored Communist morality or even made fun of it. For example, in 1961, the same year as the twenty-second party congress, a student at the Moscow Steel Institute wrote a comment in English on the blackboard that turned the Moral Code on its head: "Communism is women and wine." Such rebelliousness was not the only reaction to Communist morality; other people selectively adopted aspects of it, and still others turned it inside out, using its language and supporting institutions to fulfill their individual aspirations. So for example, spouses sometimes accused one another of flouting Communist morality in order to reign in wayward spouses, subdue officious in-laws, or in divorce cases to support claims for custody of children or possessions. In other words, they used the language of Communist morality as a means of advancing the very individual interests that official moralists demanded they suppress. Evidence suggests that this was a strategy deployed more often by women than men. The fundamental gender inequality that persisted in Soviet society, despite claims to the contrary, made women more anxious to preserve marriages or claim possessions. Women received lower salaries than men and so were more often financially dependent on them. It was also more difficult for women to find new spouses; as a result of war casualties, women, especially those aged 35 and older, far outnumbered men. According to the recollections of one scholar, the complaining wife of the Khrushchev era was enough of a cliché to become the subject of a joke: How do women of various nationalities hang on to their husbands? The German by skilled housework, the Spaniard, by passion, the French by elegance, and the Russian by party committee.

Highly recommended. I am an insurance adjuster. I climb on steeply pitched roofs with shingles which feel like rough sandpaper. These shoes have lasted longer than any other shoe I've tried. I have purchased two pair of the Riva Events, and I'm shopping for my third. These are the most comfortable shoes I've put on my feet. They offer lateral stability like no other shoe. I've even done CrossFit workouts in them when I forgot my running shoes.

I am very pleased with this shoe. I was looking for a hiking shoe that wasn't a full blown hiking shoe for those more casual hikes. So far I am pleased with this shoe. I have worn it for some time and the heel is still eating my ankle slightly. Other than that I really enjoy it.

Q:Hi, I have a pair of Riva Mesh shoes. Is the shoe sizing consistent with the change in materials between the Riva shoes e.g. between the Riva eVent and Riva Mesh? The reason for asking is that I have read in a number of reviews which advise buyers to purchase a half-size larger than their 'normal' size. I have a pair of size 10s Mesh and so don't know if I should stick with size 10s for Riva eVent or go for 10.5s. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. ThanksAsked on 4/24/2013 by Pranky

I had a chance to examine your armory.
I would advise losing some hit rating and picking up more expertise. Like you need at least 26 expertise, the expertise soft cap is a serious priority after 540 defense (which is super easy to achieve today).
I would upgrade your legs asap. Block is a terrible mechanic for warriors at end game. Then I would upgrade your helmet, ideally the honorbound helm for 75 triumph badges. Also each 10 defense rating hybrid gem is worth about 2.5 defense skill. I would recommend getting rid of all of them. Don't gem for socket bonus'. Use expertise purple gems if you need to reach the expertise soft cap, otherwise use straight stam. Socket bonus' are only worthwhile if they award 9+ stam.
Finally with the amount of hit rating you have, your taunt glyph is totally a wasted glyph spot. With your current hit rating I would use a devastate glyph in that location. And I would lose the 4/5 cruelty and put those 4 points into imp TC. (aoe tanking) and incite, 10% crit on those attacks is worth FAR more then 4% across all attacks. Just doing this final paragraphs suggestions should net you ~5% increase in TPS if not more.
