North Chicago Police brochure peppered with black stereotypes
By Judy Masterson firstname.lastname@example.com February 24, 2013 12:18PM
Comedian Dave Chappelle's character Tyrone Biggums.
Article Extras
Updated: April 26, 2013 2:15AM
On one page, comedian Dave Chappelle appears as Tyrone Biggums, the stumbling junkie with crack residue around his mouth.
On other pages of an official North Chicago police handout, a smiling African American man is handcuffed in an orange prison jumpsuit and another is portrayed as bug-eyed and slack-jawed in a mugshot. The handout — given to participants of the new North Chicago Citizen Police Academy last week — was intended to illustrate trial procedures. It had a much different effect.
Waukegan activist Ralph Peterson called the handout "outrageous." Jennifer Witherspoon, president of the NAACP's Lake County branch, said the handout reinforces "every negative stereotype blacks as a people have been fighting against."
Also in the brochure: Bumbling TV cop Barney Fife, Judge Judy and Lindsay Lohan. On the cover: Lake County State's Attorney Mike Nerheim opposite Tom Cruise as a military defense attorney from "A Few Good Men."
Nerheim called the handout "incredibly disturbing."
"Unprofessional is probably the nicest way to put it," Nerheim said. "It was obviously done without my knowledge and consent. I definitely see how it could be offensive to people. It's not something that should be coming out of the police department."
Nerheim said he called North Chicago Mayor Leon Rockingham after receiving the handout by email on Thursday.
North Chicago Police Chief James Jackson said that the material, created by an African-American officer, was not authorized. The brochure also contains images of Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean, big-bellied white police officers and infamous murder defendant Casey Anthony.
"We should have caught it," said Jackson, who characterized the handout as an ill-considered attempt at humor.
Peterson isn't laughing.
"It's another red flag," Peterson said. "It's more bad judgment. For officers to pass out a pamphlet like this screams a need for sensitivity and that this department is not capable of policing the black community."
He said it showed continued insensitivity toward the city's majority African-American community in the wake of the Darrin "Dagwood" Hanna police brutality case, in which North Chicago and its police department are embroiled in a federal wrongful-death suit. Peterson brought the handout to the attention of the North Chicago City Council last week.
Peterson also questions why the department is using officers who were involved in the Hanna arrest, along with others who have been the subject of excessive force complaints, as instructors in the academy.
Jackson defended his decision to use veteran officers who volunteered to lead the 10-week course.
"We're trying to get more interactions with the community," Jackson said. "We don't want to discourage that."
Meanwhile, the "Trial Procedures" handout has been scrubbed from the curriculum, and police Lt. Tony Thies, who is in charge of the academy, apologized to participants who showed up Thursday for the third class.
Rockingham said he had talked to two academy participants about the circular. "One said they didn't find it offensive, the other said it could have been taken the wrong way," he said.
But Witherspoon said: "Someone needs to be held accountable."
"Imagine if you just came to America and saw this," Witherspoon said. "This is not who we are. We are doctors and lawyers. I don't understand why this wasn't reviewed by the chief or mayor before it went out."
Academy student Paula Carballido, of North Chicago, said an officer explained that the images were taken from movies and TV and were not meant to offend.
Carballido, who said that about half of the dozen or so participants are African American, praised the course, which offers an in-depth view of law enforcement procedures. She said the course was informative and "respectful."
"It's changed my perspective about police officers," Carballido said. "Officers are human and they can make poor choices. But the officers in the academy want to restore trust."

Picking ten cards that decide the 60 cards in your deck is a mistake. Deck building and tweaking a deck is half the fun of LCG's/CCG's. Think of all the options for decks that we cannot do because of the Objective cards. Think of the tournament scene, it is far more likely that each faction will be a mirror image of the said faction at each tournament. An optimal build will be discovered and an optimal build is a lot easier when picking 10 cards over 60.
So far I love what I have seen of the game, but nerfing deck building is ludicrous and will chase away a lot of hard core gamers because it seems to run on "kid mode"
If you agree with this sentiment please post your support for the change of Deck Building rules.
I hope you are listening FFG.
PS. Love that there are Factions

The Lucky Bums plastic beginner snowboard is a fun choice to teach kids to snowboard in the back yard or on the nearby sledding hill. No need to fight to stay in those sandal strap binding designs anymore! The rugged design includes pre mounted adjustable bindings on a smooth bottom board with a traditional snowboard cut.
Material: Plastic
Brand: Lucky Bums
Origin: Imported
Lucky Bums was made for mini outdoor adventurers! Founders Jeff and Julie Streeter created the line of backpacks, sleeping bags, snowboards, and more because they couldn't find quality gear to fit their family's active lifestyle. Their first item, a ski training harness with a safety handle (which helps you scoop up your child off the ground), was an instant success. The line grew from there, and now tiny outdoor enthusiasts have the functional, quality clothes and accessories they need.

I served mine with a poached egg on top, added much needed moisture since the recipe called for WAY too many breadcrumbs...
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
116 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
This recipe "as is" not very good. Definitely too much bread crumbs...I would do 1 cup of bread crumbs, 2 cans of salmon and 2 eggs next time. The Dill Sauce is excellent!! I could put that on anything!!
I took someone's advice and used 1 cup breadcrumbs instead of 1 3/4 cups and thought it tasted very good. I also added a second celery stalk. These were a delicious, healthy, and filling dinner, especially with the dill sauce.
A tip to those seeking more calcium and Omega-3s, I highly suggest leaving the bones and skin in. The bones crush easily between your fingers, and the skin breaks apart nicely - you'll never even taste it.
I just was re-reading this recipe after making it for dinner tonight, and realized I omitted the egg and mustard! I'm actually pretty shocked about that, because I thought this recipe was the best salmon patty recipe I have ever made (and I've been making them for 20+ years)! My husband
who doesn't even like fish said that this one was a winner.
It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (I think it is vital that the breadcrumbs be fresh and fine). The dill sauce was perfect for it!
I will be making these again and again!
I used two cans of salmon. If I make these again I will use real fillets. The skin, bones and smell were pretty gross. I also used spicy chipotle panko bread crums. Instead of celery I sauteed garlic with the onions. After putting them together I wasnt expecting to like them. Although slightly dry, (should have used a second egg), these were pretty darn tasty. My husband and even my 10 year old liked them. I think the spicy panko gave it a really nice punch.

Just as I was reaching the point of no return and was ready to purchase a nondescript iPad case from an online superstore, I stumbled upon this blog post by Bagaholic Boy, a Singapore based blogger and MCM addict. One thing I know is that when a specialist bag blogger (and a good one at that) has something to say about a bag, or accessory, well you stop and listen. Which is what I did. I stopped. And I listened. Or more accurately I stopped and I read.
Here is what BB has to say about it:
"Made of coated canvas and sporting a simple gold-tone hardware plaque, the MCM Heritage Cognac Visetos iPad Case opens up book style once it's unzipped. On the inside you'll find a slot for your iPad (or your iPad Mini) on the right, while on the left there's a whole panel of slots, good for all manner of cards and papers."
I would most happily use this as a clutch during fashion week, holding my iPad on one side and all my invitations and notebooks on the other. Very practical AND stylish. You can't go wrong with a spot of monogram.
Now the best bit for those of you who are in Singapore comes later in BB's article... He shares a little secret - you can purchase MCM products from the Nuance Watson Duty Free store in Changi Airport's T2 even if you are not catching a flight... All you need to do is give them a call on +0065011455 to reserve your product and pay for it. You can then pick it up outside the departure terminal! It is a special service we offer at that boutique, and it is of course only applicable on the merchandise stocked there currently.
Nuance Watson is part of Swiss Group Nuance, the world's leading airport duty free retailer. Nuance Watson Asia won Travel Retailer of the Year and Airport Travel Retailer of the Year in 2012. They operate the MCM boutique located inside Terminal 2 of Singapore's Changi Airport - Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2, Singapore 819643.
If, like me you aren't in Singapore, you can order the iPad case from Harrods' website - they deliver worldwide.

05 Malibu ?
I was wondering if any one could tell me if there is any recalls on a 05 malibu for the past year my powersteering will just go out on me and then I have to pull over and shut the car off and turn it back on and it is fine also for about the past month my gas gauge will start going nuts on me it will say it's full then empty and sometimes it will go past full and set off a code and I will get a cel and i reset the code and it is fine any help would be great .
newfienavy Posts: 3Hey guys, has anyone had any trouble yet with the AC in your cars. I bought mine over a year ago and 3 monhts ago it started making loud screeching noises. Brought it to a Mechanic and he disconnected the AC unit, but it is going to cost me over $1200.00 to get it fixed. Also give or take once a month whenever I start the car, I get nothing in the way of lights, odometer, RPM gauge, radio, etc. Anyone have any advice?
pao Posts: 1,867first I would get a second estimate/diagnosis on the A/C......mine acted up a few times in the almost 7 years Ive had my 04 Maxx LT....it simply wouldnt cool.....all it took in my case was to turn the car off and restart it.....solved the problem...as far as the gauges...same think....probably less than a hand full of time same issue.....simply restarting the car solved the problem.....
you may need an ECM reflash or update....only the dealer can do that....as far as the AC goes....sounds like the compressor perhaps......but again...would get a second estimate....what does the 1200 buy you now? -
eversole Posts: 1Purchased my malibu in 2005 and has worked great except for one problem, there are times where it won't start. Usually when it does happen it just takes one or two times of turning the key and then it starts. This has happened on and off since we purchased the vehicle. It has been into the dealer multiple times but since they aren't ever able to duplicate it they can't figure out why it is happening. Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so what did you do? I am afraid that the problem might be getting worse because today it took several minutes before I could get it to start up.
ridgerunner835 Posts: 10my wife recieved a letter from CHEVROLET GM the other day that says it is extending the warranty on the electric power steering ON SOME 05 malibus for up to 10 years from the date the vehicle was put in service,or up to 100,000 miles and they will reimburse you if you can prove that you have already had it repaired/replaced.i don't know what the ON SOME means,it does't explain in the letter.we have not had any trouble with hers as of yet,it has 78K on it,but it is good to know we have a while longer on that.
retiredguy Posts: 67
newfienavy Posts: 3Is there any word yet on the 05 Mailbu's AC being looked into yet? I have spoken online with about 40 people so far and they all have the same problem that I do.... It makes a screaming noise that bad when you start the car that it has to be disconnected. It is expensive for a person to fix and it is not guaranteed to work.
greenize Posts: 8I have an 04/05 model and right after we bought it - around 40,000 miles it did the same thing to me and when I took it in to the dealer, they said they are having issues with the power steering column computer - it that costs $700 - they called GM for me and GM paid 1/2 of the cost since I had just bought the car and the warranty had just went off and the extended one didn't cover it. Good Luck because you couldn't even steer it when mine did that. I had to pull over and turn it off and on.
newfienavy Posts: 3
greenize Posts: 8Mariah, I have had the same problem, but I just figured the starter was going out - been doing it since I bought it Dec 2006. I had 26,000 miles on it when I bought it and the only other issue was the steering that was replaced at 40,000 miles, but GM paid half of it and then the passenger blinker goes out constantly. Have replaced it 7 times this year alone! Do they know what is wrong with the starter? Has there been a recall?
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,175
greenize Posts: 8Mariah,
I just replaced another blinker last week and now the same side headlight, not sure what is going on, but the mechanic thinks it is eletrical and if that is the case it has always been an issue. Can you please email me privately, it says not to post the email address though. Is there an 800# I can call?
Thanks so much,
Donna -
malexbu Posts: 169then the passenger blinker goes out constantly,
In both my 05 Malibus, some blinker bulbs had to be "replaced", more
than once; when the cars were under the manufacturer's warranty, a
dealer "replaced" them.
The "replaced" above is quoted because I don't know if the bulbs were
replaced, indeed -- that was on the bill (paid by GM) and the blinkers
started to work.
With the car out of the MW, I had to take a look myself when one
blinker stopped working. Well, the bulb didn't need a replacement --
it was as good as new. I just had to fix it better in its socket. A
20-minute no-cost job if you read the manual first. -
pao Posts: 1,867it seems to be a socket problem....I had the same issue under warranty and the socket was replace.....the blub in the current headlight assembly configuration gets very hot with the DRLs on...my yellow covers have melted through on both sides....I have also noticed a heat related problem with the sockets and contacts.....and have to bend the connectors inside the socket out in order to make contact with the bulb base.....I have also noticed the bulb based slightly warped due to heat related issues as well....I have an 04 Maxx LT..fast approaching 170K on it

Students will break for lunch on their own from 12:00 until 1:00 p.m.
Any area high school or college student is invited and encouraged to attend.
The cost for the workshop is $60.
At MDCC, ACT scores can earn you free tuition.
First-time entering freshmen with a composite score of 18 or better could receive a full tuition scholarship to Mississippi Delta Community College.
Having a composite score of 25 or better could earn a tuition scholarship plus room and board.
According to Dr. Mary Anne Brocato, associate vice president of the Greenville Higher Ed Center, "the ACT may not be a predictor of long-term success in life, but it is certainly important in the admission process for most colleges."
The exam consists of four parts: English language, math, reading and science reasoning.
Scores range from one to thirty-six in each category and are then averaged for an overall composite score.
Brocato added, "Higher ACT scores lead to scholarships which could mean thousands of dollars for a student's college education."
Although there are no guarantees that the workshop will improve scores, there have been many success stories.
"We have had students improve overall scores by as much as seven points after completing the workshop and some test takers have improved individual subject area scores by as much as ten points" according to Brocato.
She added "We are very fortunate to have master level instructors in each of the subject areas to conduct the workshop."
If you know of someone interested in participating in the workshop, contact Margaret Karr at
378-5338 or 332-8500 for additional information.

"This card came out great. I had multiple people tell me it was the best they've ever received. I gave it a 3 for design because it was difficult to find a photo that fit perfectly. However, once I found one it looked great!!"
"This card is so cute. I love that it was easy to upload the picture.We tried several pictures before we found just the right one. The quality of the paper/envelopes was great. We have received so many compliments about how cute our invite is. I even found semi-matching birthday products online with the chalkboard theme. I could not be happier with my Tiny Prints purchase. I WILL be ordering thank you cards through them as well."
"I loved this invitation for my daughter's first birthday. It was feminine without being too girly. I loved how i could customize the layout to suit the event. I wish there were a few more font colors to choose from, but overall it was money well spent. Good quality card, crisp lines, the colors stood out. I would definitely shop at tinyprints again."
"I have used Tiny Prints for a couple of events and I cannot complain. I just love the quality and the vibrant colors. I'm keeping one of these as a keepsake, for sure!"
"These invitations were so cute! I love them and everyone complimented. I was happy I can modify the back as well. thank you!"

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] PHILIPPINES/ASEAN - Phl won't abandon 'zone of peace' proposal

BALI - The Philippines will not abandon its proposal for the creation of a
zone of peace, freedom,friendship and cooperation as a way to resolve the
Spratlys dispute amid reports that other members of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are lukewarm to the idea.
The foreign ministers of Malaysia and Cambodia said Tuesday that the
proposal was not helpful, suggesting instead that the region should focus
on a legally binding code of conduct, which has eluded agreement for
Presidential Communications Development and Strategic
Planning Office Secretary Ricky Carandang said President Aquino would
continue to push for it as part of the multilateral and rules-based
approach to deal with the territorial conflict in his meetings with other
ASEAN leaders during the summit here.
ASEAN will also hold summits with its dialogue partners China, Japan,
Korea, United States, India, Australia, New Zealand and Russia.
Aquino and US President Barack Obama will co-chair the ASEAN-US summit and
also attend the East Asia summit with the other leaders on Saturday.
In a press briefing here ahead of the formal summits, Carandang said he
would not know the agenda in the meeting between Aquino and Obama but the
US' support for the Philippines' position on the West Philippine Sea issue
was welcome.
"I think we've been doing what we can already with the South China Sea
issue, and the American presence here and the fact that they agree with
our position is something that we find helpful," he said.
Carandang did not agree with initial reports that many of the ASEAN
foreign ministers were cold to the idea of the zone of peace.
"I think they have noted the position of the Philippines. I don't think
there was any outright rejection of it. But you know what the ASEAN way
is. It's not something that's gonna happen overnight. We probably need to
do a little bit more talking to our counterparts in the ASEAN region and
explain it."
"But we feel that there's a lot of work that lies ahead of us, moving on
with specifically the zone of peace, freedom, (friendship) and cooperation
and other mechanisms that we're proposing. So that's normal," Carandang
He said the government is also aware of China's objection to the
Philippine proposal and it did not want the West Philippine Sea issue
tackled during the East Asia summit and other post-ASEAN summit
"As I said, we'll continue to keep trying. We do have many avenues for
bringing this issue to discussion-ASEAN being one of them-there are others
and we're going to explore all of those avenues. And, as far as ASEAN is
concerned, we're continuing to pursue that," Carandang said.
He said it is important for the US to get involved in the sense that the
US and the Philippines got longstanding defense ties and a Mutual Defense
"President Obama has been making the rounds in the region. I think what's
very clear is that the United States wants to re-engage itself in the Asia
Pacific region. Especially now that they're winding down their commitments
to other parts of the world, the Asia Pacific region has become much more
important to them economically and politically."
Asked how the Philippines would view the US as a counter-balance to the
Chinese government's political and economic influence in the region,
Carandang said America's position could be a stabilizing force.
Del Rosario unfazed on united Asean stand
Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario is unfazed by the failure to
come up with a united ASEAN stand on the West Philippine Sea dispute even
as he bared plans to bring the issue to a dispute settlement forum.
"We consider that we have not been defeated, that we did do our part in
terms of being proactive in terms of introducing what we felt would be a
way to be able to conclude an application of the rule of law to the
issue," Del Rosario said in a press briefing in Malacanang yesterday.
"We're interested in being able to validate our claim. By this, we hope to
go into a dispute settlement forum which is provided by the UNCLOS (United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea)," he added.
Del Rosario said they are considering five options in settling the
The first channel is the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, an
independent judicial body formed by the UNCLOS to adjudicate disputes.
Another option is to bring the issue to the International Court of
Justice, and the third and fourth options involve two forms of
arbitration, he said.
The fifth would entail compulsory conciliation, which is also under
"The first and the second (options) require that we approach the forum
with the other party which in this case is China," Del Rosario said.
"I think China hesitates to do this with us so we will in all likelihood
proceed to the fifth mechanism and be able to secure a validation of our
claim from that particular mechanism," he said referring to the compulsory
On Tuesday, the Philippines urged Southeast Asian leaders to come up with
a united stand in the resolution of the West Philippine Sea row.
Speaking to ASEAN foreign ministers, Del Rosario said the regional bloc is
now at a "critical junction of playing a positive and meaningful role to
contribute in the peaceful resolution" of the dispute.
"The Philippines is of the view that ASEAN should reach a stage whereby it
is able to help resolve sensitive issues decisively without letting such
issues affect the progress of bilateral or multilateral relations," Del
Rosario said.
Some ASEAN leaders claimed that coming up with another forum could
complicate the issue and could duplicate existing efforts to resolve the
China, which has favored the conduct of direct bilateral negotiations with
other claimants of the Spratly Islands, said it is not proper to tackle
the issue at the East Asia summit to be held in Bali this week.
"The intervention of outside forces is not helpful for the settlement of
the issue, on the contrary it will only complicate the issue and sabotage
peace and stability and development in the region," said Chinese assistant
foreign minister Liu Zhenmin.
Phl gets a boost
The Philippines' cause gained a boost yesterday as US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton on a visit to Manila gave reassurances that the United
States would not retreat in the face of China's growing power in the
"Let me say, the United States will always be in the corner of the
Philippines and we will stand and fight with you," Clinton said.
She did not refer directly to China, but said that the United States
wanted to assist Manila in defending its maritime boundaries.
"Any nation with a claim has a right to exert it, but they do not have a
right to pursue it through intimidation or coercion," she said.
But she maintained that her country would not side with any of the
Spratlys claimants.
She said the dispute should be resolved through peaceful means and in
accordance with the international law.
Clinton said they would participate in the "open and frank" discussions on
maritime security challenges during the 19th Asean summit in Bali.
"(US) President (Barack) Obama will reaffirm our national interest in the
maintenance of peace and security in the region and internationally and
that includes freedom of navigation, over flight, respect for
international law, the rule of law, unimpeded lawful commerce across
the regions maritime domain," she said. - With Alexis Romero

Prosecutors: Woman sought help from fire official charged in attack
By SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERY AND JASON FREEMAN firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com January 8, 2013 9:46AM
Updated: February 10, 2013 5:51PM
A Tinley Park woman who was beaten during a home invasion early Saturday ran to her neighbor's condominium unit for help, not knowing that the neighbor — a former Chicago Ridge fire official — was her alleged attacker, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Gary Swiercz, who according to officials has since retired as Chicago Ridge's deputy fire chief, was wearing a ski mask during the alleged attack, prosecutors said, and the woman didn't recognize him before she managed to escape.
Swiercz, 49, has been charged with attempted murder, home invasion, aggravated unlawful restraint, aggravated attempted criminal sexual assault and residential burglary, police said.
Prosecutors sought Tuesday to have his $150,000 bail denied or increased after he was released from custody Monday, but a Cook County judge denied the motion. Swiercz is subject to electronic monitoring, is staying in Worth and has been ordered to stay away from the condo in the 8100 block of 168th Place where the alleged attack occurred, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.
Prosecutors said Swiercz broke into the woman's condo wearing a ski mask and carrying a knife, rope, zip ties and duct tape and then threatened to slit her throat. Prosecutors said he also was carrying an 8-inch sex toy and lubricant.
He held his victim's hands together, prosecutors said, as he led her from her living room to the kitchen where he forced her up against a kitchen cabinet while she was screaming. Swiercz threw his victim to the ground, and court records allege he slammed her head on the tiled kitchen floor three times.
A struggle ensued, and the attacker fled and later was arrested in the parking lot, police said.
The woman was treated for minor injuries, police said.
The two had no prior relationship, prosecutors said.
Chicago Ridge Fire Department officials said Monday that Swiercz, also a former fire chief for Worth, had retired as deputy fire chief. He is next due in court Feb. 7.

Love these jeans! I got them in a size 27 and they fit perfectly! I love the quality of these jean and the cute rinestones on the back pockets.
August 25, 2013
Nice, however...
I ordered these jeans in my regular size 27, but when they arrived I noticed several of the rhinestones on the back pockets had already fallen off, and this is even before I tried them on! Also, they fit really tight, squashing my butt. I knew after one wash they would be too tight, with the possibility of more missing rhinestones. I will say the material is a good quality. But unfortunately these went back.
August 22, 2013
Love it
Love bebe jeans!!!!!They feel really confi and very good quality...I also love the top...bebe please when is it going to be available....

'Maharaja' shows majesty of India with jewels, costumes, an elephant
BY KARA SPAK Staff email@example.com October 16, 2012 6:08PM

Updated: November 18, 2012 6:06AM
For centuries maharajas were the princely rulers of India, a group of men who weren't shy about wearing jewelry and traveled via bejeweled elephant.
On Oct. 17, they're journeying to the Field Museum.
"Maharaja: The Splendor of India's Royal Courts" offers visitors a detailed look into the rarified world of the rulers of India from the 1700s to the 1940s, when India achieved independence from colonial Britain.
The exhibit opened in 2009 at London's Victoria and Albert Museum before traveling to a Munich museum and three museums in the United States and Canada.
"Everybody had heard of the word maharaja," said Anna Jackson, keeper of the Asian Department at the Victoria and Albert. "Maharaja sounds very exotic, romantic, wearing jewelry and turbans. You don't really know what it means or who these people are."
Jackson said she and former colleague Amin Jaffer, now international director of Asian Art at Christie's auction house, decided to "pick that stereotype a bit and expose who these people are."
"Maharaja" is a departure in some ways from the Field Museum's typical offerings because it focuses heavily on visual artwork. But fans of the museum's ability to transport visitors to a different time and place, with a heavy emphasis on a unique and foreign culture, won't be disappointed.
"When we look for exhibitions we either look for them to fit to our strengths or we also look to fill in some of the gaps in our collections," said Tom Skiwerski, the Field's project manager for exhibitions. "We have an Indian collection but it's not one of the strongest collections at the museum. This exhibit allows us to represent the Indian culture at the museum."
At the center of the exhibit is Cartier's Patiala necklace, commissioned by a maharaja to show off some family jewels. Constructed in 1928, the necklace is made of diamonds, topazes, smoky quartz and other gems. It took three years to complete and was, at the time, the largest commission Cartier had ever received. The necklace was reconstructed in 2002.
"It's amazing work," Skiwerski said, adding this is only the third time the necklace has been on display in the United States.
Also included in the exhibit are costumes, weapons and an elephant replica that didn't make the rounds in some of the other North American exhibit venues because of its size.
"Kings would often process through the land and capital cities" on elephants, Jackson said. "We had this extravagant idea of trying to re-create this in our exhibition hall."
This "jolly good idea" encountered some technical difficulties when Victoria and Albert staff tried to suss out the appropriate dimensions and dress of an Indian, not African, elephant.
Museum staff traveled to rural India to learn how to decorate the elephant from a retired elephant dresser and an elephant named Ramu.
"Ramu was very patient with us on a very, very hot day when our designer took the measurement," she said. "I'm glad she is coming back to life after living a very forlorn life somewhere in London. She's having a new life in North American that I hope she is enjoying."
The elephants and Cartier jewelry are just pieces of the opulence of the maharaja lifestyle.
"We talk about the 1 percent here in this country; this is the 1/10th of one percent going on in India at the time," said Skiwerski. "This is the elite, the ruling class. They were very wealthy and that shows."
Elizabeth Oliver, a Ph.D art history student at Northwestern University who teaches an Art of India class at Columbia College, said that visitors to the "Maharaja" exhibit should remember that the maharajas were "vassal rulers" to the British colonialists.
"As a new viewer to Indian art, these objects should not be seen to represent a sort of timeless, pan-Indian idea of opulence and its relationship to royalty," she said. "While there is plenty of that in India prior to the British Raj, this exhibit should serve as a reminder of the very specific and historically situated manifestations of power and royalty in South Asia. In this case, the idea of the maharaja, or great king, as it was defined by Britain's growing presence on the subcontinent."
Most of the maharajas acceded their kingdoms after British rule ended in 1947, creating modern-day India and Pakistan. In 1971, Indira Gandhi stripped them of all their privileges and instituted a tax on them. While the maharajas went through a period of being viewed as "personae non grata," Jackson said that has slowly changed. Some former maharajas are involved in wildlife and cultural heritage programs, she said, and their palaces or estates are popular hotels and tourist attractions.
"People got over the idea that there is something awkward about India's past but that it should be celebrated," said Jackson. "The kings were great patrons of the arts. I think these things are being recognized again for their value, for their worth."

The Hawks are currently 8-2 and have been running over opponents as of late, outscoring the opposition 195-22 during their four-game winning streak. For the season, Shaw's offense has averaged 36.4 points per game, while the defense has given up just 8.9 points a night. Since the start of the 2011 season, the defending 1A North Half Champions are 20-5.
Shaw, the No. 2 seed from Region 2, will begin the first round of 1A State Football Playoffs at home as the Hawks will host the Falkner Eagles (9-2, No. 3 seed Region 1) Friday night for a 7 p.m. contest.
Shaw head football Kendrick Smith said he has been pleased with the team's performance heading into the playoffs.
"We've been playing pretty good football over the last month or so," Smith said. "We're excited that the playoff time is here, and we're wanting to get another shot at it. We're still getting better as a football team, and hopefully we'll peak going through out these playoffs."
The Hawks, at one point during the year, were open on back-to-back weeks. Since coming off the layoff on Oct. 26, the Hawks have been fresh and ready to go.
"Those two weeks off were good for the players and the coaching staff," Smith said. " We took a little break and just concentrated on ourselves instead of another football team."
Falkner has been a solid offense team this year by scoring an average of 37.1 points per contest. The Eagles' running game is particularly good as they've rushed for an average of 329.1 yards a contest.
"Falkner is going to run the ball," Smith said. "They're a well coached football team. They have a good scheme, and they're going to try to pound the ball."
For Shaw, senior running back and linebacker Christopher Harthone has rushed 753 yards with 15 touchdowns on 117 carries and has recorded 71 tackles with eight sacks. Junior quarterback Andre Pruitt has been had a huge year as well by completed 38-of-76 passes for 935 yards with 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Junior linebacker Lerandel Allen (81 tackles, 5 sacks) and senior linebacker Ledavious Rice (78 tackles, 4 sacks) have been key players for the Hawks on defense.
For Falkner, sophomore running back Jeramie Lawrence has rushed for 1,741 yards with 25 touchdowns on just 175 carries to lead the offense, while senior defensive back Dallas Hill has led the defense with 60 tackles, seven interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
The winner of the Shaw-Falkner game will take on the winner of the Vardaman-Coffeeville game next week in the second round.

perfectly clean, even the bathrooms! We made a trip to the therems (with hot water) with Egidio, what was quite nice, maybe we could have saved some money (4.000 CLP) per person if we had done it on our one, but it was okay, because we also got the transfer and towels and a Egidio was kind of a "guide" and told us many things about the region and the country!

We had an excellent stay. The owner picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station which was very nice. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly. The location is good, only a couple blocks from the main road. It's a very quiet hostel, not the place to party, but if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this place is great!

Michael Dell is the founder of the computer company Dell, Inc. He created one of the most profitable computer companies in the world with annual sales of up to $50 billion American dollars. Dell has also become one of the wealthiest people in the world with a 4th place listing on the Forbes rich Americans list in 2005 with an estimated worth of $18 billion. Michael Saul Dell was born on the 23rd of February, 1965 in Houston to an orthodontist father and a mother that worked as a money manager. Dell was interested in computers from a very young age and was already pulling them apart at the age of 15. He attended the University of Texas with hopes of becoming a doctor but abandoned studies to start his own business at just 19 years of age. With just one thousand dollars in his pocket Dell started "PC's Limited" in 1984. From his university dorm room Dell started building and selling personal computers from stock computer parts. The idea that set the young entrepreneur apart from others was to sell directly to the customer, rather than going through a third party to sell his products. PC's Limited allowed the customer to customize their computer before it was custom built to their specifications. The prices could also be kept much lower than PC's Limited's competition as they had no stores to maintain or middlemen to pay commissions to. All computers were sold direct to the customer with the use of order forms, phone orders, and now Internet orders. In 1988 PC's Limited had a name change to "Dell Computer Corporation" and had an initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at roughly $80 million. By 1992 Dell Computer Corporation was listed on the Fortune 500 list of the five hundred largest companies in the world, making Michael Dell the youngest ever CEO to head a Fortune 500 company. The company continued to grow and expand dramatically year after year, eventually selling more c
Edgar Miles Bronfman, Jr. (born May 16, 1955), formerly CEO of Seagram and vice-chairman of Vivendi Universal, has been CEO of Warner Music since 2004. He is the son of Edgar Miles Bronfman and the grandson of Samuel Bronfman, one of the most wealthy and influential Jewish families in Canada. Edgar Jr. is the second of five children, and was indicated by his grandfather in 1971 as being suitable as the heir to the Seagram Company. From his early days, Bronfman's interest in the arts was apparent. He was particularly active in school theatre, an interest his parents supported by donating to construct The Ann and Edgar Bronfman Theatre during a 1967 expansion at The Collegiate School, the prestigious private school in Manhattan which Edgar Jr. attended. Edgar Jr. and his classmates created a documentary film of the school that spawned the Collegiate Film Festival, an event that gained positive press in The Los Angeles Times and The Village Voice. Bronfman proceeded to a brief career in entertainment in the 1970s as a film and Broadway producer. The summer before his final year of high school, in 1972, he was a credited producer on the film, The Blockhouse. Despite his inexperience, Bronfman's involvement was accepted because of his connections and access to financing. In return, he learned many of the tricks of the trade by watching his more experienced peers. In 1973, Bronfman began a songwriting career under the pseudonyms Junior Miles and Sam Roman. He often collaborated with Bruce Roberts on songs like "Whisper in the Dark", which he gave to Dionne Warwick to record in thanks for introducing him to his first wife, Sherry. His Efer Productions company was signed by Universal Studios in 1977 to a three-year movie production contract. He produced the unsuccessful film The Border, which starred Jack Nicholson. In 1982, Bronfman returned to the Seagram Company, spending three months learnin

No point here, sorry.
The 'channels' are just one miniscule data stream per transponder ~ 1 Kbps.
Well Sixto previously added the LNB test channels on D10 and D11, so I just suggested in that case he may as well go on and add the missing two on D12 for 103A odd and even as well.
And while I agree its a minor point as I stated P. Smith, I don't think its fair to say there's "no point" at all, unless your saying Sixto shouldn't have bothered to list any of the test channels to begin with.
