To state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Flushing's Tinny Beauty has "duped" students who take classes to become licensed manicurists. But the school's management blames various state agencies and a confounding application process for the entire mess.
Schneiderman announced last week that his office filed a lawsuit against Tinny Beauty, its president and founder Lydia Leung, and secretary Alex Cheung, for using "misleading and deceptive tactics" that promised customers they could obtain their manicurist licenses without completing the required number of hours of course instruction.
The lawsuit seeks full restitution for the hundreds of consumers injured in the alleged scheme, penalties, fees, and an injunction forcing the company to stop its "fraudulent practices."
The 35-year-old Tinny Beauty International School is headquartered in Manhattan. Its branch at 39-07 Prince St. in Flushing is the focus of the case.
The lawsuit contends that ads like "Tinny can help convert foreign licenses to New York State licenses" placed in Chinese-language newspapers targeted non-English speaking customers who did not fully comprehend the certification process and had to rely on the school to help them obtain their nail specialty licenses.
However, Leung and Cheung argue that the lawsuit overlooks the school's efforts at recognizing the previous work experience many students gained in their native countries.
"They have already been in this business in their home country, and now they just needed a license to work here," Cheung said. "They don't need to attend the full 250-hour course."
He said two state agencies — the Education and State departments — are involved in the licensing process, and the lack of coordination between them had created the mess.
From around 2005 to at least 2010, Leung routinely affirmed on the nail specialty application forms that the license applicants had completed at least 250 hours of training at Tinny School when they in fact had not, the suit contends. Up to 700 people were charged between $350 and $500 to obtain their licenses that way, according to court papers.
Department of State regulations require applicants go through a 250-hour state-approved course of study and take both the written and practical exams to obtain a license.
The Division of Licensing Services at the State Department allows individuals with at least five years of experience to apply for licenses without examination or further education — but they have to submit supporting documents including tax returns.
"The problem is people can't get all the documents. Many in China don't file tax returns," Cheung said.
At the same time, the state Department of Education allows people who have been rejected by the licensing division to be evaluated by an approved public or private cosmetology school to determine if additional hours of instruction are required prior to taking the State Board exams, Cheung explained.
In other words, the DOE allows the school to administer a shorter course for those applicants. Tinny charges around $350 for the 30-to-35 hour seminar, which teaches safety and hygiene requirements, exam skills and more.
At the end of the course, the school helps the applicants fill out the application form issued by the licensing division.
But the form doesn't give the school space to declare that it has offered a shorter-duration course.
"Our argument is that the form is pre-printed — we have to affirm that they have completed 250 hours of training. We can't change the form," Cheung said. "We did what the Education Department told our school director to do."
The attorney general's office declined to comment.
But court papers counter that applicants with five years of experience outside New York don't even need to take the licensing exam, and "certainly would not have needed to pay [Tinny Beauty] $350 for a 'test preparation' seminar." They further contend that Tinny could not prove that the students actually possessed five or more years of experience, or that they had actually done the evaluations and seminars. An undercover investigator with the State Department was also told she could pay Tinny a lump sum fee but the school made no effort to evaluate her skills, according to the papers.
Leung denies any wrongdoing.
"If we were really doing this for money, we could have made everyone — including those with experience — take the 250-hour course and pay $950 instead of the $350 that we charge for the additional instruction course," Leung said.
She added that the school is in fact helping many new immigrants get their licenses faster so they can start work sooner.
"But we still follow the proper procedure," she said. She claimed that the investigation was prompted by complaints filed by a rival beauty school.
Cheung also said that the way New York State administers its exams is unfair. A policy change in 2003 made people who apply on their own based upon experience or education outside of the state take exams in English.
"If you're Chinese, you won't be able to pass the English-language exam," Cheung said.
"This definitely is a very serious case of race discrimination," Leung added.
Meanwhile, those who completed their full training in a New York school in a foreign language are still allowed to take their exams in that language.
"So people come and submit their application under our school, so that they can take the exam in Chinese," Cheung explained.
Leung said she's not worried about the case.
"I know where I stand. Their accusations are not true," she said.
"After we win the case, I plan to start a beauty association and educate people in the beauty industry, to strengthen their legal knowledge so they won't be bullied by government officials," she said. "A good government helps its citizens, but that's not the case now."
A statement by Tinny's lawyers said the action by the attorney general is "harmful to the thousands of immigrants, primarily Asian women."
Six Tinny School nail specialists who did not complete the 250 hours of training have had their licenses revoked, according to court documents. Cheung said he's helping those former students reapply.
Leung and Cheung accused the state not just of discrimination but also attempting to mine money from small businesses.
"They wanted us to pay a $100,000 fine, and they'll let us go," Leung said. "If we're in the wrong, we will. But we're clearly not, so we're not paying."

The Islamic Poetry blog posts a wonderful poem by Na'ima B Robert about compulsion in religion – or rather, the lack of it:
I wake before dawn.
No muadhin calls me,
No footsteps stir me,
Instead society spurns me,
Labels me and burns me.
But everyday,
I wake before dawn.

RELEASED: Aug. 23, 2007
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has been named by The Princeton Review as a 2008 Best Midwestern College.
UW-Eau Claire is one of 161 schools in a 12-state region to receive the "Best Midwestern College" designation.
Kristina Anderson, executive director of enrollment services at UW-Eau Claire, said UW-Eau Claire continues to be a first-choice campus for talented students.
"Our student-centered approach has made UW-Eau Claire an excellent institution for eager, engaged students," Anderson said. "From study abroad, to faculty-student collaborative research, students have the ability to nurture their talents in meaningful ways. Being recognized for that excellence by The Princeton Review is certainly an honor."
This year student opinion data from a total of 654 schools is featured on the "Best Colleges: Region by Region" section of PrincetonReview.com. This feature focuses on the best colleges in four regions and is aimed at raising awareness of excellent but lesser known colleges for students looking to study within a specific geographic area.
Each college chosen had to meet two criteria: First, they had to meet the Princeton Review's standards for academic excellence within their region, and second, they had to participate in a student survey.
In April, The Princeton Review also named UW-Eau Claire one of the nation's best-value undergraduate institutions. The university is featured in The Princeton Review's 2008 edition of America's Best Value Colleges, a guide that profiles 165 colleges chosen for their excellent academics, generous financial aid packages and/or relatively low costs of attendance.

Peter Facinelli suits up in Boglioli for the cover of Da Man's December/January issue.
Here's what the 38-year-old actor had to share with the mag:
On the most challenging Twilight scene he's had to do: "The stitching scene in New Moon because I had to learn how to stitch someone up and really had to do the stitches. The day we were shooting the scene, I realized I had to wear my [colored] contact lenses and I couldn't see. It is very difficult to stitch with limited vision."
On his role model: "I was always a huge fan of Paul Newman and Robert Redford growing up. They inspired me to become an actor. I'm also a fan of Sean Penn and Johnny Depp. I like the way Johnny switches his gears and embodies different characters so well and that's what I try to do."
Robert Pattinson stops to sign some autographs for fans as he leaves the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studios on Wednesday evening (November 2) in Hollywood.
The 25-year-old bearded actor also posed for pictures and waved to fans as he left in a black car.

Dolled up in a custom Donna Karan dress, the 24-year-old actress spoke on stage during the event, which highlights the foundation's philanthropic efforts and encourages fundraising for deserving causes that are the most important to women.
So you can see are there a new theme on the site. I like this more then the last one I have made.
I hope you all like it If there are something wrong so write to me so I can change it

U.S. Route 56
|Route information
|640 mi[1] (1,030 km)
|1957[1] – present
|Major junctions
|West end:
|I‑25 Bus. / US 412 / NM 21 at Springer, NM
US-50 at Dodge City, KS
|East end:
|US 71 at Kansas City, MO
|Highway system
U.S. Route 56 is an east–west United States highway that runs for 640 miles (1,030 km) in the Midwestern United States. The highway's eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 71 in Kansas City, Missouri. Its western terminus is at Interstate 25 Business in Springer, New Mexico. Much of it follows the Santa Fe Trail.
Route description[edit]
The highway passes through New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. It also touches a corner of Texas at a small road junction near the New Mexico/Oklahoma border.
New Mexico[edit]
US 56 runs concurrent with US 412 for its entire length in New Mexico, and are signed as such through the state. The two routes begin in Springer and head east towards Abbot, where they serve as the northern terminus of State Road 39. Continuing east, US 56/412 meet the southern terminus of NM 193 south of Farley, the northern terminus of NM 120 east of Gladstone, and the southern terminus of NM 453. US 56/412 intersect US 64 and US 87 in Clayton, New Mexico, and US 64 joins with US 56/412 in their trek northeast. The three routes serve as the southern terminus of NM 406 as they enter the Kiowa National Grassland. The three routes then cross into Oklahoma together.
US-56's short path through Oklahoma consists of a diagonal slice across the western part of the Oklahoma Panhandle. US-56/64/412 enter Oklahoma near the southwest corner of the Panhandle, where they also enter Rita Blanca National Grassland. They leave the grassland near Felt. Three miles[2] (4.8 km) southwest of Boise City, US-385 joins the concurrency. The routes then enter Boise City, where they enter a traffic circle around the Cimarron County Courthouse that involves US-56, US-64, US-287, US-385, US-412, State Highway 3, and SH-325. After leaving the traffic circle, US-56 overlaps US-64, US-287, US-412, and SH-3. One mile[2] (1.6 km) east of the courthouse, US-287 splits off the route to head towards Amarillo, Texas. US-56/64/412/SH-3 continue northeast for 6 miles (9.7 km),[2] where US-56 splits to travel northeast on its own.
The route parallels the Cimarron Valley Railroad for the remainder of its time in Oklahoma. Keyes is the next town on US-56, and it also serves as the northern terminus of SH-171 where the two highways intersect. US-56 crosses into Texas County east of Sturgis. Just before crossing the Kansas line, US-56 meets the north end of SH-95. US-56 then enters Kansas on the east edge of Elkhart.
US-56 enters the state at the Kansas/Oklahoma border near Elkhart. It weaves its way across the state from southwest to northeast, passing through such towns as Dodge City, Great Bend, McPherson, Council Grove, and Baldwin City. It joins with I-35/US-50 southwest of Olathe, Kansas, and goes northeast with I-35 into the Kansas City Metro Area. It exits the state as part of Shawnee Mission Parkway in Merriam.
For one mile (1.6 km) in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, Route 56 follows the noted boulevard Ward Parkway along with 47th St through the Country Club Plaza. The route ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 71. It also includes Blue Parkway and Swope Parkway at certain points.
In the early 1950s, towns along what was then the K-45 corridor, connecting Ellsworth, Kansas to the Oklahoma state line at Elkhart, created the Mid-Continent Diagonal Highway Association[3] to push for a new highway from Springer, New Mexico (on US 85) northeast across the Oklahoma Panhandle, along K-45, and continuing to Manitowoc, Wisconsin on Lake Michigan.[4] By mid-1954, it was being promoted as U.S. Route 55 between the Great Lakes and the Southwest.[5] The first submissions to the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) to establish the route were made in 1954; all placed the northeast end at Manitowoc, Wisconsin (absorbing US 151 from Cedar Rapids, Iowa[citation needed]), while they varied on whether the southwest end was to be at Albuquerque, New Mexico or Nogales, Arizona.[6] The first route considered in northeast Kansas was via US 40 from Ellsworth to Topeka and K-4 and US 59 via Atchison to St. Joseph, Missouri.[7] A revised route adopted in March 1955, due to AASHO objections to the original route, which overlapped other U.S. Highways for over half of its length, followed K-14, K-18, US 24, K-63, K-16, and US 59 via Lincoln and Manhattan.[8][9] In July, the US 50-N Association proposed a plan that would have eliminated U.S. Route 50N by routing US 55 along most of its length, from Larned east to Baldwin Junction, and then along US 59 to Lawrence and K-10 to Kansas City; towns on US 50N west of Larned, which would have been bypassed, led a successful fight against this.[10][11]
However, in September of that year, the Kansas Highway Commission accepted that plan, taking US 55 east to Kansas City, Missouri.[12] On June 27, 1956, the AASHO Route Numbering Committee considered this refined plan for US 55, between Springer, New Mexico and Kansas City, Missouri, with a short US 155 along the remaining portion of US 50N from Larned west to Garden City. The committee approved the request, but since the proposed route was more east–west than north–south, it changed it to an even number - US 56 - and the spur to US 156.[6]
U.S. 56 originally took a different route between Boise City, Oklahoma and Elkhart, Kansas. The original route followed U.S. 64 east to an intersection south of Eva. It then split off to the north towards Elkhart.[13] By 1961, the section north of U.S. 64 had been overlaid with State Highway 95.[14] The following year, U.S. 56 was rerouted over SH-114, bringing it to its current diagonal path across the Oklahoma Panhandle.[15] The old alignment is still on the Oklahoma highway system as the north half of SH-95.

The city frequently touts its Big Apps competition as one of the highlights in its campaign to foster the local tech industry. Developers get access to all kinds of city data and the grand prize winner receives a $50,000 prize. Last year's winner was Roadify, but as Fast Company pointed out today, the app doesn't seem to be doing a great job fulfilling its mission.
The premise of Roadify is that users can find parking spots, avoid traffic jams and figure out which trains to catch. But to generate data on open parking spots and snarled traffic, its needs a critical mass of users. Betabeat downloaded the app today and fired it up. The app found zero parking spots in Manhattan and didn't seem aware of the vehicular backup growing nearby our office.
In the VC world this is referred to as the "ghost town" or "cold start" problem. When you have a service that gets better the more users it has (the always valuable "network effect"), you conversely have a service that stinks when no one is on it.
Roadify does offer a few basic perks for users, like the location of parking garages, gas stations and subway entrances. This sort of functionality is already baked in to basic services like Google Maps, but it was enough to earn Roadify a number of 5 star ratings in the Apple store.
The moral of the Fast Company story is that NY City is throwing away $50,000 a year by awarding prizes to apps without figuring out if their is a user demand that needs to be met. But the winner from the first year of Big Apps, MyCityWay, scored a $5 million series A round this year and has racked up over 1 million downloads. When it comes to investing in early stage startups, batting .500 is considered a great average.
Too bad the
author didn't contact Roadify for comment because we could have clarified some
errors in this article, specifically the idea that our entire service depends
on crowdsourcing. It doesn't. We won the
BigApps Grand Prize because of our innovative approach to using multiple data
sources, including official and user gen content, to solve daily pains for commuters. The bulk of our utilization is by mass transit riders who simply want to know
when the train or bus is coming and what other riders might have to say about
transit conditions. Our traffic feature provides
on-demand bridge and tunnel crossing times and speeds using NYC DOT data, not traffic
for everywhere which other services like Waze and Inrix do very well. To suggest that NYC is
"throwing away" money by awarding modest prizes as an incentive to developers flies in the face of the many thousands of New Yorkers happily using Roadify and other
BigApps winners every week to get around town.
-Scott Kolber, Roadify COO
Last time I leave town for one day! Such silliness I'm reading on some of these articles. BigApps is the leading City apps/data/competition ecosystem in the world. The meetups, the Ideas challenges, the pairings of leading VCs with contestants, the success stories, the positive effect it has on New York City being a leading tech hub, the $4M to $5M in software created each year in exchange for $20K to $50K in prize money…
As for Roadify, that app kicks ass. It does more than just empty parking spots. Of course it's hard to get massive traction from all New Yorkers as a result of just one competition. It's not like developers get to sit back and watch a competition do ALL the work. But BigApps gives them a huge kickstart, press, meetings with investors, big increase in app downloads, and more.
BigApps is about more than the winners. The real win is the totality of the investment created from all of the 150 apps, free for the public to use as they like. The developers get a big push to start their businesses. And the City wins from not having to pay out the teeth for ideas and creations.

By Joe Moore
Over the last week we've had a noticeable increase in traffic and comments. This was due to the discussion of a few controversial topics including the use of the F-bomb and the C-bomb in novels. Some of the reactions were interesting, some downright shocking. John G. and I have a phone chat about it and our end conclusion: it's a big world out there. You can never predict an individual's reaction, especially when it comes to the use of profanity in the pages of novels.
I must admit I've never stopped reading a book because of the use of a single word. Most of the time, when I do stop it's because the writing sucks. Either the plot was cliché or the characters were two-dimensional or the writing was weak and lazy, or all the other countless reasons people jump ship before the end. But for all the visitors that have visited our cozy little blog lately to comment on these subjects, thank you. Your patronage is appreciated.
So what is the page 69-bomb? Actually, it should say, the page 69 test. I used the word "bomb"as a cheap way to keep your attention. Sorry. The page 69 test is the real topic of my blog today. What is it? A trick to help everyone in choosing a book to read.
Picture yourself standing at the new release table in your local bookstore. You see a bunch of new arrivals. Some authors you've heard of, some names are new. How do you choose? According to John Sutherland, author of How to read a novel, you don't judge a book by its cover.
Dust jackets, blurbs, shoutlines, critics' commendations ("quote whores", as they are called in the video/DVD business) all jostle for the browser's attention. But I recommend ignoring the hucksters' shouts and applying instead the McLuhan test.
Marshall McLuhan, the guru of The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962), recommends that the browser turn to page 69 of any book and read it. If you like that page, buy the book. It works. Rule One, then: browse powerfully and read page 69.
I tried it with a few books on my shelf to see if I was attracted to a book by what I found on page 69. Of course, these were books I'd already read. I was highly skeptical. It sounded more like a gimmick or parlor trick that a true test of a book's worth. What I wanted to see is if page 69 reflected the story or style or voice of the book. Was it a good sample of things to come? In theory, page 69 should be far enough into a story that it exemplifies the heart of the tale. What I found was that, in just about all cases, the page 69 test worked.
After a few of these test cases, I worked up enough courage to do the test on my own books. I started with my current WIP (written with Lynn Sholes). Here's what's on page 69 of The Blade Of Abraham:
"Maybe I'll do it," I said, immediately thinking I would regret the commitment.
"I'm not going to hold you to it yet." He nodded toward the half-empty Johnnie Walker bottle sitting on the railing. "I can't let you make a decision while under the influence."
"It never stopped you before." I realized that was uncalled for. "Sorry." I took a bite of the eggs. "You always were a good omelet maker."
We sat in silence eating. After the last bite, I was full and totally mellowed out. Of all the people in the world, Kenny was the only one who knew me so well—all my secrets, all my vulnerabilities and fears.
He extended his hand. "Give me your plate. I've got a pan of hot soapy water waiting. I'll drop them in and we can worry about it in the morning."
I didn't have much resistance left so I handed over the bare plate. Kenny disappeared for a couple of seconds before rejoining me on the swing. His arm slid around me and it seemed so natural.
"Tired?" he asked.
"Pleasantly." I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I've missed you, Max." He lifted my chin and kissed me. Not hard. Just soft and affectionate. Cautiously, as if he might hurt or offend me. And that felt natural, too. "It should have worked out," I said. "We screwed up."
"What's done is done."
I looked at him. "There were times you made a damn good husband."
Not exactly a knock-down, drag-out scene from a thriller is it? After all, The Blade Of Abraham is about an attempted detonation of a nuclear device in a major American city and the race to prevent it. Page 69 is the end of a chapter. It involves two people: my main character Maxine and her former husband. Max is a retired federal agent who got shot up pretty bad while on a mission and chose to leave after 20 years as a civilian federal agent with the OSI. Her ex has shown up to ask her to come back to work for the government, something she has no desire to do. It's only when he tells her why they need her back that she must face the choice of risking all that she has left in life or remain safe and secure in her cozy Colorado mountain hideaway.
The basis of this quiet, serine scene is in fact the basic structure of the entire book. A woman is intrigued by a challenge, decides to take it on only to have her life wrecked down to her emotional bedrock. She has to pull herself back up from the depths, meet the challenge, and overcome everything thrown in her way to save not only her own emotional life but the very real lives of millions of innocent people.
Now that I've taken the page 69 challenge, how about the rest of you writers out there. Got the guts to show us your page 69 and determine if it exemplifies the heart of your story? Naturally, if page 69 falls on a page with just a couple of lines, you have permission to post page 68 or 70. But the point I'm trying to determine is, does the page 69 test work on your manuscript or published book? If someone picked up your book and only read page 69, would they want to buy it?
And for the readers out there, how about your favorite (or not so favorite) book. Does the page 69 test work for you? Remember, this is only a test. No actual books will be harmed in the writing of this blog.

Earlier this year, the London producer and frequent Brian Eno collaborator Jon Hopkins released his Immunity LP, a prettily translucent house-music that walks the line between dance music and in-your-brain music. (Ask Amrit about it; it is his shit.) And now, Hopkins has applied that same aesthetic to "Amenamy," a ghostly track from Purity Ring's 2012 album Shrines. In Hopkins's hands, it's a warm and twinkling and vaguely memory-tickling house track. Listen to the remix below.

Vocation = call. We can explore the word more deeply by looking at vocation as more than just a call from God to a state of life. Before there was time, in the eternal mind of God, He knew what would happen in our lives. He had a meaning and purpose for what would happen at each moment and He desires only what is best for us.
But, more than vocation being what we do with our lives, it is who we are.
With that in mind I want to tell you that vocation is more than living our lives in a certain state of life (i.e., priesthood, religious, married and single). It is about something higher and even better. It is about the call to holiness. The states of life we might live in are the means to the end of holiness.
We are all called to holiness.
The vocation to holiness is for you.
Sainthood is not something merely for the super-religious or pious.
We all need to answer the call to holiness again and again with a resounding "yes" to God and His call to us each as individuals.
Lord help us to choose to say "yes" to holiness.

Definitions for xylemˈzaɪ ləm, -lɛm
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word xylem
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
xy•lemˈzaɪ ləm, -lɛm(n.)
a compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers.
Category: Botany
Origin of xylem:
1870–75; < G < Gk xýl(on) wood (see phloem )
Princeton's WordNet
the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels
A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals taken up by the roots; also the primary component of wood.
Origin: From Xylem, from ξύλον.
Webster Dictionary
that portion of a fibrovascular bundle which has developed, or will develop, into wood cells; -- distinguished from phloem
Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants. The word xylem is derived from the Greek word ξύλον, meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant. Its basic function is to transport water, but it also transports some nutrients through the plant.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Plant tissue that carries water up the root and stem. Xylem cell walls derive most of their strength from LIGNIN. The vessels are similar to PHLOEM sieve tubes but lack companion cells and do not have perforated sides and pores.

Heidi Klum's dress did a bad/awesome?/I dunno job of covering her ass at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night. As you can tell I'm not really sure how I feel about these shots, but I've decided to share them with you. Maybe because I hate you or maybe because I love you. It all depends on your interpretation of Heidi Klum's ass crack. Actually, I'd prefer this instead of those ink blot tests my therapist uses. All I ever see in those things is Hayden Panettiere punching a dinosaur. Yeah, she's mostly mad because my dad ordered us a new mommy from Russia because old mommy "didn't understand that scotch gives daddy his superpowers." Which makes sense. Whenever I drink scotch I suddenly develop the uncanny ability to vomit into the dishwasher. I should fight crime.
Heidi Klum might be a plumber
So many negative ppl here…=( She´s absolutely stunning! And there´s nothing wrong with Seal, how shallow must one be to even question what she sees in him? Is looks all that matters to ppl here? What do you know, he might have a wonderful personality. I don´t think he looks that bad either, without his disease he looks just like anybody else!
she's very hot….despite already gave birth to 2 kids. two or 3?
women with kids are the easiest prey ever. they scream "save me from my spinster destiny". seal isn't a saint cause he took in a woman discarded by her baby's father. those are the easiest women to catch cause they are so need and desperate. i see it all day long on judge mathis. and the fact that after all this time together she's walking around talking about his cock on TV and showing her ass crack shows how pathetic she is. no wonder flavio briatore dumped her curbside. she's loud, tacky, and has no class.
but does her vagina look good for for having three kids? that's the real question. nothing beats out a young, tight, pussy. anybody can buy a younger face or body.
Jesus H. Christ that nagger is fucking hideous. Better he dates her than one of my daughters. Did someone club that Seal in the face when he was a baby?
I mean what a fucking monster. He looks like a jacked up homeless crackhead. He looks like the supervillian in some comic book movie that got sprayed in the face with acid. Their children must look like halfbreed versions of that thing from the movie "Basket Case." God, so disgusting. Just one glance at that nagger made me throw up in my mouth.
Dog the Bounty Hunter Season 3 now on DVD.
best site. ???????
#21 What the hell does she see in that ugly guy? UGH I hope he is very rich.
Umm…wtf? Thanks for letting us ALL know that you've been living under a rock or possibly even a cedar tree all of your fucking life. That's SEAL you MORON..and he's a SINGER and YES he's rich. Try looking shit up first, before you make a stupid comment and make an ASS out of yourself. Geez.
Yeah, how did anyone send out that woman looking so awful and tacky. Classy.
As for Seal, the guy is a damn excellent artist. I've enjoyed his work going back to his first album. Don't care about the chick at all. He's a fine artist as long as he's happy good enough for me.
But these empty vessels and their attempts at being considered important outside of doctored photos, who cares what they say or think. They don't read and know nothing about the world except for hand bags.
Which they all will become soon enough.
#44 I see what you are saying, but this is Superficial. The whole point of this site is to make fun of people no matter what. If you can't handle this, I suggest you fuck off, and whatever you do, don't go onto the page about Teri Hatcher saying she was abused or Maggie Gyllanhaal (however you spell her end name) breastfeeding. I don't think you could handle it.
Talk about the odd couple. An old, talentless model with the I.Q. of an amoeba and a one-hit wonder, bald, pock-marked, hideous man-ape hybrid. The world is full of insane people. That's why we should have laws against that sort of thing.
#27- my sentements exactly!
"….you'd probably look good too if someone was paying you. but since no one is, continue stuff your face with burritos."
I got really skinny last summer, and it was hard, and I missed out on some good food. This summer, I decided to be happy with my little belly and NOT try so hard! No one is paying me to be skinny, so why the fuck am I trying so hard?!?!
White boys are so insecure, it's too funny
good points and besides, every photo of a model in a magazine is retouched so these women look great but they aren't as perfect as Photoshop makes them. Be happy that you are real and not manufactured.
Man, if you guys are the audience, no wonder the media sucks so much donkey shit.
Aim high!
I find it amusing that this Peice of dog shit web site has the fucking nerve to review the comments and only post the ones that they deem "OK". Thats pretty fucking hypocritical considering they will post and spew any half based peice of fucking mindless garbage they get off tv or some dumbfuck photographer.
HAHA, i got a kick out of the monkey that said "white boys are insecure". I would have to say the most insecure race in this country is the so called "african-american". First off, You can drop that african bullshit right off the front of that. The Vast majority of blacks in this country have zero knowledge of their african history or roots. Second, the advancement of the african culture in the united states is deplorable. (not the white mans fault) I guess when your insecure you worry more about your SHOES, RIMS, CARS< and how much fucking gold you can own. Instead of taking care of what should be important to your race's future. The value of family and education of yourself and children. But, instead you worry about basketball and rap music. I see black men EVERYDAY with their children and they are wearing a Scarface shirt with a fucking drug dealer holding a GUN!!!! And you wonder why we have no respect for you or your children??? Look what you teach them!!!

Simply disgusting.
She also looks like a corpse with too much make up in pic 5.
#44- Seal's face is not like that from a disease. It's tradition in his tribe to scar adolescent's faces as a rite of passage into manhood.
@68 & 69:
First of all, I am Latina.
Secondly, thanks for proving my point, dumbass.
Obviously you're just as obssessed with black men as your women are. What a sad little wuss..
#69- yes, Brian, we whites are certainly teaching our children all kinds of valuable cultural lessons, aren't we? Spend spend spend so that you can compete with your friends for who has the most material possessions. Then when your credit runs out and you can't make the payments, so what? Just declare bankruptcy so that the people who actually DO live within their means can take up the slack. Judge everyone else according to their physical beauty, and don't worry about feelings getting hurt. Anorexia and bulimia are no big deal, not your problem. It's okay to be a racist pig as long as nobody knows about it. Why don't you volunteer to be a Big Brother to a black kid who doesn't have a dad so that he can maybe grow up to be a responsible father, or go read to some inner city kids one afternoon so that they will value education and knowledge and maybe grow up to be contributing members of society. Or, you could just spew your hatred of your closed little life and mind on an anonymous web site and go to your meaningless job everyday and bitch about everyone else.
First of all, #29, what do you mean childbirth doesn't change your hips? Are you on drugs? or are you a guy posing as a female. Of course having a child changes your hips…along with almost everything else in your body. You are a moron.
Second, "sexy" and "prostitute-outfit" are now interchangeable in the minds of most celebrities. If you go out looking like a fricking whore, you must look hot. WRONG. Looking like a tramp only make you look cheap and ridiculous. Maybe these women could start leaving a little more to the imagination.
Sorry, but I don't want to see her ass crack in public, I don't care how hot she is. How proud her children will be someday!
Good Comment#30. not so kosher…'.she said on Oprah the first thing that got her interested in him was seeing him giant schlonh through his workout shorts. she just went on and on about it. shows how "deep" she is. don't have to be pretty just have a hugh black snake.'
Simply she is a cheap no class whore Who got lucky
WTF is that!
Guess I prefer the Airbrushed Enhanced Version
Im glad that you were quick to point out what the jews have done to our american nation. Your totally right. BUY BUY BUY is now the american way and wealth and ownership has taken over the majority of the american mind. Who has the power in this county??? The media? Hollywood? I think that it would be safe to say that the americans now bask in ownership and gossip due to the jew mentality that is sold to us every single day on tv and in the movies. And, if you dont believe it and just think im some racist fool with blind hate do a little reasearch and see what race owns the majority of communication outlets in this country. Second example is the jewish, liberal mentality that is alive and well in this country!! It becomes more and more clear every day that mindless americans stand for NOTHING. They have no love of state or country and would never risk family or life to protect the values of our forefathers. As for me taking care of somone elses kid, thats laughable, I have time for MY children and i have taken care of my responsibilites. As for my worthless job??? I work for one of the oldest and largest companies in the world and i havent been without a job for more than a week since i was a 12 year old in michigan delivering papers. Ive done my best to work and be a GOOD american. Its just so fucking sad to see blacks and mexicans tear it apart and destroy the system with their laziness.
does this mean she's not wearing underwear? *cringe* is that the new fashion?
that's a hideous dress. even on a younger model. i don't want to see anyone's ass crack. i think in hollywood women don't want to accept the fact that they're getting older.
i agree she's a bit annoying. project runway could do without her. she doesn't add much to the show. i can't say she has any fashion sense (as we can see).
73#"Why don't you volunteer to be a Big Brother to a black kid who doesn't have a dad so that he can maybe grow up to be a responsible father, or go read to some inner city kids one afternoon so that they will value education and knowledge and maybe grow up to be contributing members of society. "
Whites have been taking care of violent, stupid, lazy, criminal, oversexed negroes for a very long time…we've had decades of affirmative action, set-asides, quotas…the entire racial spoils system mainly set up for chronically ungrateful, underachieving negroes and to the detriment of Whites…and it got us precisely nowhere, except to constantly hear additional demands and how racist we really are because negroes still can't hack it. The fact remains that negroes are genetically incapable of performing out of an agricultural setting and in a post-industrial, knoweldge-based economy. Of course to face that truth is intellectually uncomfortable for out liberal preconceived ideas about human nature and racial differences, and whoever makes that point is ruined both professionally and personally (witness the recent Watson saga). It's much easier and comfortable to blame Whites for negro failure than to acknoweldge the true causes.
i see lots of haters here,,,she looks great,,,shes at a vitoria's secret fashion show, so she should dress like a grandma? and of course seal is looking at her backside he hits it every night ill bet…
Every white parent's worst nightmare: their pretty blond daughter becoming some African's trophy woman. Giving them ugly mole-looking grandbabies. Gawd. I bet her parents puke every day just thinking about it.
@ 77: So you're mad at blacks and mexicans for being "lazy" and at the same token, mad at Jews for being "industrious?" Ok buddy. Your stupidity is so transparent it's pathetic. That's the problem with white boys — too spineless to just come out and say how you really feel. I mean, did anyone catch that guy Dog weeping on CNN like a freaking homo? Secondly, what is a grown, straight man with children doing on a gossip blog geared towards housewives?? And you're mad that we find other men more masculine.. how retarded is that?
Question: Were your rapist, thieving, lying forefathers also "good Americans?" Word of advice.. please stop making yourselves look bad. It's clear from your moronic diatribe that you're jealous and insecure.. almost like a bunch of black men rejected you or something. What are you guys, some kind of queers? The irony is that emasculated sissies like you end up with daughters/wives than can't get enough of black men.
It's funny what LOL said about white boys and you all stormed out in droves to prove her right. Shows how smart you really are.
She and her ugly husband are the typical "Beauty and The Beast" celebrity couple.
First off, Your a fucking moron, why dont you take a min to look up the word industrious. The jews are far from industrious. Actually, the jewish nation hasent been industrious since they were enslaved by the egyptians and forced into slave labor. As far as your second dumbass statement, I just came out and told you the way i felt and have no problem saying it to anyone. I find your "spineless" statement even more laughable…This coming from a negro woman! Your race are the most spineless cowards on the fucking planet. You dont fist fight you just shoot each other like a bunch of fucking monkeys. And when there is a fist fight there is always more than one of you, very cowardly. Lets talk somemore about "spineless"…. How many Black babies does this country have to pay for? Left by their "gansta" daddy, now the taxpayers are responsible for this little fucking mistake. BUT WAIT!! does this stop the momma from popping out 3 more fucking mistakes?? NOOOOOO. As far as MY forefathers, Maybe you should open a few fucking history books before you open your mouth. IT was the african people who hunted down and sold the slaves to the english, not the white man. Second, maybe you need to look up some african history. If you think the fathers of are country are so bad why dont you pack your shit and move backt to africa. Malaria, aids, starvation, drought, genocide. Africa is the most fucked up continent on the planet, Your civilization has had thousands of years to evolve. You should be the smartest, best armed and financed continent in the world. Instead, its a fucking shithole overrun by greedy monkeys that kill each other with no regard for human life. ( Kinda sounds like the ghettos here. As for that last joke of a statement, the only women that i have ever seen with a black man are fat, disgusting, white trailor trash. No, self respecting white woman would ever date a monkey.
Brian, puddin', I am a professional psychic. I thought I should share this with you.
I get this mental picture of a tiny-wienered, cafe au lait coloured boy with a big nose named 'Brian Greenberg' typing furiously at his computer, in a room papered by swastikas and 'White Pride' posters. Tears are dropping off the end of his giant nose as he contemplates his secretive (and futile) adoration for his neighbour, a boy named Mark. (If you're this disturbed, Bri-Bri, you probably have homophobic tendencies too).
Woops. Back to the psychic hotline.
You take a moment to glance up at your book collection, and notice that all four of them are missing from the shelf and scattered around the room. None of them is 'Mein Kampf', (too hard to read) and none of them are hard covers. Certainly none of them are history books.
You think about that unpleasant incident with Mommy in the bathtub and weep a little more, before pounding the keyboard with more angst and ruminating on the unfairness of not inheriting your greatuncles enormous peenie.
Usually I'd charge you for a reading. But today you get a pity vote, honey.
Love, Zita
I'm going to go ahead and ignore your impotent rant. But I find it interesting that you know an awful lot about people you allegedly hate. One thing I know for sure is that I find it hard to picture a black man writing the effeminate garbage you spew. And you wonder why we find them attractive. Your life must really suck… up late on a Saturday night digging up gossip blogs while your wife is probably fantasizing about some black man.
Listen f*ggot, how can I break this down to you? Next time you run into Seal or any random black man, stop them and let them know how you "feel." Then come back and tell us about it.
#60…Aww, was that an attempt at wit?
Since Maggie G's tits have nothing to do with disease or accidents then I have no problem with you making fun of her. People were arguing over her choice to bring them out in public.
How is that like someone being deformed from a disease? It's not in any way the same, so why would you even bring it up? Oh I see, to try and make me look like a stupid feminist or something.
If she got one of her tits chopped up because of breast cancer and you commented on her shitty looking tits it would be different. I wasn't personally offended but taking the chance to point out ignorant people's stupidity.
I encourage you to pull your head out of your arse for a second and take a few breaths of fresh air. It might help you to think more clearly, douchebag.
Wow, if your a physic, Your a really, really bad physic. Not one thing you said about me was right. Its ok thou, Most ignorant people try and take personal shots when they dont have an educated argument. Thanks for proving my point!! As for the other cunt, You right, you wouldnt find a black man spewing out anything except "keepin it real" or "you my nigga". Thats my fucking point, Typical blacks dont care about anything of any kind of importance. When a black man does get educated, hes kicked down by his own race for being an "uncle tom" or hes just "trying to be white". I guess its better to try an be an athlete, than a senator. Its sad that your generation's motto wil be "get rich or die tryin". Oh yeah, By the way i find it amusing that you spew hate at a racist with slander against gays. Glad to see your a hypocrit as well.
Prettiest plumber ever. She's still hot in the thirties and even after three kids. Good genes. Some women are just like that. Deal with it. Appreciate it. Or just ignore it but don't hate on it. I doubt your fat a$$es could fit into that dress so quit your yappin'.
yep….the good ol' plumbers butt……here we would be saying "we dont allow any crack"
@84 That's probably the most pathetic thing I've read today. Do you preach that bullshit to your children? My father talked about black people like that, but even as a young child I saw it for what it was; ignorance.
Puts a whole new meaning to "plumbers butt" doesn't it:-)
OK, I concur. Take one book off Brian's shelf. I've never been good at physics. You're entirely right, Brian.
Whilst you are looking up 'psychic' at the library, look up 'sarcasm' or 'irony'. Its nice to see that thou has a Biblical upbringing. And thanks for giving me the biggest laugh of the day by including the words 'educated argument'.
I don't know any 'typical black men', babe – I live in Australia, and we have Aboriginal people, not African Americans. But I'm a nice, immigrant shade of pasty white, and I can tell you now that your type (redneck white trash) prove evolution (and possibly the missing link) nicely.
Well done, Bri-Bri!
she looks good for a 40 something mother
'Butt she needs to realize that is simply a tacky Ugly shirt!
I've lost some respect for Seal
THAT matchy matchy SILVER SUITE Heidi made him wear IS DOWN RIGHT GAY
Elton wold look mighty fine in that silver suite
heidi move on
how the hell do you model lingerie with SAGGY OL ASS
if VS is going to showcase 40 year olds then MORE BACK VS MODELS REQUIRED
I think both their outfits are quite nasty but they surely do make a great couple
you are a complete retard.
"I live in Australia, and we have Aboriginal people, not African Americans"
Er, you get African American people anywhere/everywhere. They are all over the world and guess what.. in Australia too! Amazing isn't it?!
Somehow watching white racists argue with black racists never gets old.
While very amusing, it is still unbelievably annoying. Can you please hurry up and get it over with
Very hot ! Her nude profile and some of her nice nude photos were found on a nudist date site named Nudistonly.com . I was curious why she was there . Is she a nudist ? Anyone can advise ?

Pakistan has accused Indian troops of shelling its territory along the disputed Kashmir border and killing a civilian, the latest in a series of allegations by both sides over the past week.
A Pakistani military official accused Indian troops of "unprovoked firing" in the early morning hours on Monday in three sectors along the Kashmir border: Battal, Chirikot and Satwal.
A civilian named Muhammad Zubair was killed by the shelling, the official said.
Military sources told Al Jazeera, soldiers fired across the border into the village of Dunga.
A senior Indian army commander said Indian troops were responding to unprovoked firing from Pakistan and targeted military posts, not civilian areas.
The firing from Pakistani started last night and continued through the night in two places, the commander said. He accused Pakistan of regularly violating a 2003 cease-fire in Kashmir over the past four days.
Pakistan and India have long been enemies and have fought three major wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over control of Kashmir.
The resumption of violence along the border threatens to sabotage recent overtures by the two countries aimed at resuming peace talks.
Five Indian soldiers were killed in an attack last week on the disputed border. India accused Pakistani soldiers and fighters of crossing into its portion of Kashmir and killing its army personnel.
The mountainous Kashmir border is divided between Pakistan and India but claimed in its entirety by both.
The Indian Defence Minister, AK Antony, has demanded those involved be punished.
Pakistan has denied its soldiers killed any Indian troops and accused Indian soldiers of severely wounding a Pakistani citizen along the border last Thursday. India has denied the allegation.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif expressed his concern about the incidents last week and said both sides should make sure the situation doesn't escalate.

Fire memorial group says sales slow for fundraiser
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The foundation working to build a memorial at the site of a 2003 nightclub fire where 100 people were killed says sales are slow for a major benefit that's due to be held not long after the 10th anniversary of the fire on Feb. 20.
The Station Fire Memorial Foundation aims to raise $1 million to $1.5 million to build and maintain the memorial in perpetuity. The group took a major step in September when it managed to get the private owner of the land to transfer ownership to the foundation. The benefit on March 8, a comedy show at the Providence Performing Arts Center featuring comedian Craig Gass and others, will be the first major fundraiser since then and the group's largest fundraiser to date.

" Please, when you have to mention the D-list stars they appeared with they are not big names. Maybe America is tired of the constant charity game. From the moment we wake up someone is begging for charity through our tv, they want to sell up charity at every market, kids programs are underfunded so they want charity. There are so many ways instead of a proper tax system we get the poor to pay for it themselves through charity. The final charity straw for me was when I payed 11 bucks for the privileged of watching movie and about 25 bucks for one popcorn and one soda, only to asked to donate to their pet cause too. Oh, I am sure it is such a big cause...again, and again. "

WORDS - Mark Shinn
INTRO ?Surely the fight isn't finally over for a 'legitimate' platform to show kitesurfing to the world, is it? Mark Shinn argues the case in his regular column
It's October and I'm fighting with myself. I'm late scribbling my words this month (well to be completely honest I'm always late, but no matter, let's continue) and the temptation to take the easy option and write about the passing of the season and the unrelenting march into winter is strong. I'm not going to do it though as it would be a cheap shot and I think I should probably try to buck the trend and attempt to cobble together something a little more inspired, failing that at least something different.
Probably of most recent note was the first event of the KSP wave riding tour at the legendary spot of One-Eye in Mauritius. I've been following the progress of this tour with interest and was stoked to see it finally come to fruition and, better still, to be blessed with epic conditions. Big waves, good wind and some of the best wave riders in the word; let's just say that I don't think we need to talk about 'legitimising' our sport anymore. What I saw was honest, hardcore, dedicated wave riding. Anyone that has ever ridden a wave in their life, no matter the size of wave or which vehicle they chose to do so on, could fail to appreciate what went down there. I'm also very happy to see that the strap/strapless debate was settled in the way it should be? let the riders choose their weapons and show what they can do. I'm very opposed to talk of a 'strapless' wave riding tour, it's not a mini sport, but part of the bigger picture and should take its place as it deserves, not marginalised by comparison to a bigger brother. Strapless riding isn't a religion; it's a means to an end, a difficult, skilled and surely aspirational means to an end, I'll admit, but at the end of the day I want to see guys (and girls) rip up waves in a functional, stylish and critical way. I don't want to see someone kind of rip a wave up and then attempt to have others justify it by declaring its technical difficulty.
I watched a few strapless videos recently (notably from Ian Alldredge) and frankly the level of strapless riding is now off the chart. No excuses needed and for sure no niche competition needed. Theres a right rider, right weapon and a right time for everything. Let's let the athletes decide when that time is.
Actually, I had one other thought on the KSP tour that's probably going to be questioned by a few. The three locations for the 2011 tour are Mauritius, Peru and Cabo Verde. Three dream locations with dream waves and nice cross-offshore winds.
Fantastic, I like to ride in these conditions as much as the next kiter, but is it showing exactly what we are capable of as a sport? I was talking with a respected journalist recently who isn't involved in sports at all and he asked me what my favourite conditions were? The answer: it's hard to say. Yes cross-offshore wave conditions are great, but so too are cross shore winds in nice beach break conditions. Of course onshore set-ups can be a lot of fun, too. One of the most endearing features of kiteboarding for me is the lack of specific conditions needed to have fun. You can score a good day in pretty much any one of a thousand locations. If the KSP tour is going to represent kite SURFING, shouldn't it do it in all the conditions that we all choose to ride in? I hesitate to make the over-used comparison with the ASP world surfing tour, but I think it's relevant. That tour visits the dream locations of of Fiji and Hawaii to show what surfing is about in the best conditions, but they also have competitions in France and New York, showing what can be done in slightly more real world situations. I'd like to see a future with events all over the world, where the World Champion is decided on ability in all kinds of waves, not just perfect ones. The Peru KSP event will be done before you all read this. I'm really looking forward to watching it; the tour is young but seems to have taken a giant first step and the future is bright. I truly hope it will grow into the showpiece kiting deserves and the riders have earned.
As usual I wrote this piece on a plane and I'm about to wrap it up and disembark in Poland where it's five degrees and raining. It sucks - whatever happened to summer? Seems like spring rolled straight into winter this year. I know I said I wasn't going to write about the seasons, but I just can't resist it and I know you all expected me to anyway! Summer 2011 sucked in most of Europe. I hope most of you find the time to get away and find some winter sun and wind. If not, hang tight: statistically, summer 2012 HAS to be better than 2011. However, statistically speaking apparently the most dangerous place to be in the world is bed (as of all deaths, this is where the largest percentage of closing moments takes place!) So get up and get out there, whatever the weather!

Cisco, Facebook, Sony: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Cisco
(CSCO), which tanked following the company's first-quarter results earlier this week, crept up 0.59% to $21.49 before market open.
The San Jose, Calif.-based firm was also one of the most active pre-market Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 194,871.
The networking giant missed Wall Street's revenue estimate on Wednesday, weighed down by the weak tech spending that has hurt rival tech heavyweights such as IBM (IBM). Cisco also pointed to the impact of the NSA snooping controversy on its business in China.
Cisco shares plunged 10.96% to $21.36 during Thursday's session.
Yahoo! (YHOO) gained 0.7% to $35.94 on share volume of 148,777. Facebook (FB) was another active Nasdaq stock, rising 0.27% to $49.12 on volume of 113,783.Over at the NYSE, Sony (SNE) shares crept up 0.16% to $18.68 amidst buzz from gamers about the Japanese electronics giant's PlayStation 4 console, which hits stores today. Sony expects to sell 5 million PlayStation 4 units by the end of its fiscal year in March.
IBM shares rose 0.16% to $182.51. --Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >Contact by Email.

2 Complex numbers
2.6 Division of complex numbers
The second of the conjugate–modulus properties enables us to find reciprocals of complex numbers and to divide one complex number by another, as shown in the next example. As for real numbers, we cannot find a reciprocal of zero, nor divide any complex number by zero.
Example 2
- (a) Find the reciprocal of 2 − 5i.
- (b) Find the quotient
- (a) We want to find the complex number which represents
- We multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 + 5i, the complex conjugate of 2 − 5i, to give
- (b) We multiply the numerator and denominator by 1 −2i, the complex conjugate of 1 + 2i, to give
The method used in Example 2, of multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator, enables us to find the reciprocal of any non-zero complex number z, and the quotient z1/z2 of any two complex numbers z1 and z2, where z2 ≠ 0. We can obtain general formulas as follows.
For the reciprocal, we have
If z = x + iy, so and |z|2= x2 + y2, we obtain
For the quotient z1/z2, we have
If z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2, this can be rewritten as
These formulas may be used in theoretical work, but for calculations of reciprocals and quotients it is simplest to use the method of Example 2.
Exercise 13
Find the reciprocal of each of the following complex numbers.
- (a) 3 − i
- (b) −1 + 2i
In each case we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator.
- (a)
- (b)
Exercise 14
Evaluate each of the following quotients.
- (a)
- (b)
In each case we multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator.
- (a)
- (b)

Lew, Wolcott looks like a madman, here. What a pathetic act. And that's what it is – an act. These crazed, guilty-white-leftist, minority defenders still like to play the role of the anti-bully, anti-racists who are defending the world's minorities – even when they don't need defending! – from mobs of dangerous "whiteys" in pointy white hats. They don't believe what they say – they just want to fit into the right circles with the right people, and this sort of thing is a part of earning membership in The Club. Maybe Wolcott was using a web-based postmodern translator to mangle Kling's very clear statement into something recognizable only to one who wishes to play along with the rules of The Club. Perhaps we should force Mr. Kling to do what Prince Harry is doing: attending an "equality and diversity course."

|This route is called 3rd class in guidebook but I think it depends a lot on snow. Plus if you want to stand on the very top it is 5th class for sure. If you just wanted to stand next to the summit pinnacle then maybe only 4th class. We had ice axes, crampons, rope, and some gear and used it all (June 2009). Since we had the rope I recall doing two raps back to the notch and down led the part from on top of the chock stones where you are to traverse on the 3 ft ledge as that was covered in snow.

Timberland Travel Style: The Back Bay Series
If you're one of the millions of people planning to travel this holiday season, here are a few packing tips to making your trip more fun and less frantic:
If you're flying: Stash your bag in the overhead bin wheels-first, not side-first (easier to get in and out). Put address tags on both the inside and the outside of your luggage, as tags on the outside can get torn off during baggage handling.
If you're driving: Bring a "recycle bag" for the car, and fill it as you go. There's nothing worse than arriving at your destination and having to clean out the wrappers, bottles and napkins that have accumulated during the trip. Also be sure you have an actual, honest-to-goodness paper map in your glove compartment; navigation systems aren't perfect!
And whether your holiday travel includes planes, trains or automobiles, be sure you've got the best bag for your belongings. Our Earthkeepers Back Bay Series is earth-conscious (made with 100% recycled nylon), water-resistant, functional, durable and travel-friendly:
The Back Bay laptop backpack and laptop briefcase feature padded shoulder straps and plenty of compartments … making the bags comfortable to carry, and keeping you organized.
Don't underestimate the importance of spinner wheels … that's a favorite feature of Back Bay suitcase owners! The small and medium upright spin suitcases keep you and your luggage rolling in the right direction, no matter what.
You can shop the Earthkeepers Back Bay collection (along with other great bags) on our website. Travel safe!

Orange County curators and art experts analyze art trends, the market and upcoming exhibitions.
If you're into art, the start of a new year is the perfect time to look at contemporary art trends, both locally and internationally.
Some of Orange County's top curators and art professionals weighed in recently on trends in art – what they're seeing out there by artists and art school students, what's happening at museums, art fairs and biennials, and what's going on with the mercurial art market.
Spiak is director and chief curator at Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana. He was former curator at Arizona State University Art Museum. As director of Grand Central, he oversees a program that involves exhibitions, artists in residence and live-in studio spaces for art graduate students.
"What I've seen – and I've only been back in Orange County for a year – is a lot more focus on abstraction than the figure," he said. "There was a big figurative movement when I got here, but it seems that's going away."
Spiak, an Orange County native, is a champion and documenter of social practice, an art and design effort that involves engaging with communities of interest. "Community-based projects in general are really kind of popular right now." He pointed to Open Engagement in Portland and Creative Time Summit in New York as other efforts that are taking off. There's also Engagement Party, a social practice program that has taken place at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles since 2008. MOCA just published a book on the subject, including a profile of Finishing School, some of whose members hail from Orange County.
Spiak mentioned the California-Pacific Triennial, planned for the Orange County Museum of Art for June 30-Sept. 22, as the exhibition he's most anticipating this year.
Curator at the Irvine Fine Arts Center, Berg is a well-respected gallerist and curator who ran his own, eponymous gallery in Los Angeles for six years.
"For a while now, people have been making more abstract paintings," he said. "More people are painting, more people are doing abstract paintings."
Berg has organized a group exhibition focusing on different practices in abstract art. "Forms of Abstraction" opens Saturday and runs through Feb. 23.
Berg also notices a return to basics, particularly at the university level. That means re-introducing formal art techniques: drawing, printmaking, sculpture.
"Artists are really seeing ceramics as contemporary art, not just ceramics," he said.
More artists are also experimenting and crossing over into different media, Berg said. He mentioned painters who also take photographs and artists who are using non-traditional surfaces to paint on, such as polyester.

Adult children's success can affect their parents' mental health. If one adult child is unsuccessful or struggling, even if other adult children are successful, a parent is negatively affected by the one child's seeming inability to thrive.
"What this study finds is that the children may have their own lives and moved on, but their ups and downs are still deeply affecting their parents," psychology professor Karen Fingerman, PhD, said August 12 at the 118th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association. Fingerman, of Purdue University.
In Fingerman's study, 633 middle-aged parents in the Philadelphia area rated their grown children's individual achievements in relation to those of other adults the same age as their grown children. The parents rated achievements in the areas of relationships, education, career and family life. Many of the parents had more than one child; thus, there were 1,251 reports of grown children in Fingerman's study.
In addition to answering questions about their children's success, the parents answered questions about their own mental health. They touched upon their relationship with their children and whether or not their children had ever "experienced specific physical, emotional, lifestyle and behavioral problems" (Science Daily). These lifestyle and behavioral problems included getting into trouble with the law, drinking and/or drug problems, divorce and other serious relationship problems. The parents were asked to consider whether their children's struggles were involuntary, which was defined as being the result of a health issue; Fingerman controlled for involuntary struggles.
The lifestyle and behavior problems identified in Fingerman's study are destructive, regardless of whether or not they are caused by health issues. Learning disabilities, when untreated, can breed frustration. This frustration can manifest as disruptive behaviors, and eventually become disruptive habits.
Of the 633 parents Fingerman surveyed, 68 percent had at least one grown child suffering at least one problem in the last two years. Nearly 49 percent of parents said that at least one of their grown children was highly successful. Sixty percent of parents had a mix of successful and unsuccessful children. Fingerman found that 17 percent of parents had no unsuccessful children while 15 percent reported that they did not have any grown children that they would rate as being above average on life achievements.
The effects of adult children's successfulness on their parents' psychological wellbeing was apparent. In Fingerman's research. Parents with more than one successful child reported better well-being, although having even one child who was "unsuccessful" negatively affected parents' mental health, even if they had other, successful children. Having only one successful child did not translate into a heightened psychological state for parents. The study's findings suggest that parents react more strongly to their children's failures than their successes.
Fingerman elaborated, "Having two children suffering problems may be more demanding than having only one child who suffers problems. By the same token, having a successful child did not buffer the effects of problem-ridden children."
Learning disabilities can lead students into a mental state in which they feel as though they are somehow lacking in comparison to other children. This general sense of not feeling good enough can deepen into an overall attitude of frustration and potentially anger with school and with the individuals they feel are foisting negative, threatening situations upon them. The malaise that learning disabilities can foster may lead children into detrimental behavior patterns, and these can become habits that may jeopardize children's ability to become viable adults. If children are not taught how to learn in their own particular style, working with the abilities inherent in their "disabilities," they are at risk for far more than decreased academic achievement. Fingerman's study illustrates the effect that unsuccessful adult children can have on their parents' mental health, but it is not too late to address children's learning disabilities, dissuade them from negative behaviors that may stem from their frustration with their perceived inabilities and set them on a positive road.
