Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the Eating Attitude Test (EAT) in identifying the presence and severity of eating pathology in male and female Omani urban adolescents and to establish cut-off scores that matched those of anorexia identified by gold standard interviews without fear of fatness criteria. Methods: Both females (n=126) and males (n=136) were screened using the Arabic version of the EAT- 26 and interviewed using a semi-structured, Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in order to investigate the relationship between false positives and false negatives at various EAT-26 cut-off points. A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was calculated to discriminate the power of the EAT-26 for every possible threshold score. Results: The EAT-26 identified 29% of the subjects as probable anorexic cases as against 9.5% identified during the structured interview based on the anorexia gold standard (32% males and 68% females). The sensitivity and specificity of the EAT-26 were respectively 24% and 69.6%. When using the ROC curve, a cut-off score of 10 gave the best compromise between sensitivity (64%) and specificity (38%). Discussion: Although the EAT-26 is the most widely used screening instrument in cross-cultural studies, it does not appear to be reliable in identifying probable cases of anorexia among Omani adolescents. The use of a gold standard interview without fat phobia criteria indicated that the rate of anorexia nervosa may be more prevalent among males than previously estimated. This intriguingly high preponderance of males is discussed in terms of prevailing demographic trends in Oman.

Kingsland Man Pleads Guilty To Three Counts Of
BRUNSWICK, GA: ANGEL LUIS RIVERA, 41, of Kingsland, Georgia, pleaded guilty yesterday before United States District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood to three counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor in relation to his production of numerous images of child pornography. Evidence presented at the guilty plea hearing showed that on a number of occasions between 2009 and 2010 RIVERA sexually molested three children under the age of 14 in order to create pictures and videos of that conduct.
The charges against RIVERA arose out of a joint investigation by the Kingsland Police
Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security
Investigations (HSI).
United States Attorney Edward J. Tarver said, "This defendant violated the innocence of children. His acts were despicable and they demand the severest punishment allowed by law. Swift aggressive prosecution of child predators will be one of the standards by which this United States Attorney's Office will and should be measured. Protecting this country's children is the highest priority for the Department of Justice and this United States Attorney's Office."
"While it is heartbreaking to discover evidence of innocent children being sexually exploited, it strengthens the resolve of law enforcement to investigate child pornography crimes," said Brock D. Nicholson, special agent in charge of HSI Atlanta. "I applaud the diligence and commitment of the Kingsland Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia in working with HSI to investigate this case and bring the defendant to justice. We will continue to dedicate our resources and track down those individuals who are involved in the underworld of child pornography." Nicholson oversees ICE HSI activities in Georgia and the Carolinas.
Kingsland Police Chief Darryl Griffis added, "This investigation and subsequent conviction is an example of the Kingsland Police Department's continuing commitment and cooperation with federal law enforcement agencies to protect our most valuable community asset, our children."
Each count to which RIVERA pleaded guilty carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, followed by at least 5 years of supervised release. RIVERA will also be required to register as a sex offender. The date for RIVERA's sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Tarver commented that this case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, which is a nationwide U.S. Department of Justice initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.
The lead prosecutor in this case is Assistant United States Attorney Nancy Greenwood who serves as the Deputy Criminal Chief and Project Safe Childhood Coordinator for the Southern District of Georgia. For additional information, please contact First Assistant United States Attorney James D. Durham at (912) 341-7842.

A Primer on Tribal Court Contempt Power by Matthew Fletcher (2008)
Supreme Court doctrine bars tribal courts from exercising criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians, but tribal courts often are the only practical mechanism available to protect Indian women from non-Indian domestic violence. Congress recognized this fact in the Violence Against Women Act by noting that tribal courts may use their civil contempt power to enforce personal protection orders originating in foreign jurisdictions. This short paper describes the civil contempt power of tribal courts, and how tribal courts have used this power. The paper concludes with a short analysis of the implications of federal Indian law on tribal court authority to issue civil contempt citations to non-Indians.

How would you deal with the requirement of a ritual by the Zulkir of something-or-other? |
Ok, stuff waiting for approval: Spell Storing for armor - same as for weapons, +1 bonus, Arms and Armor by Bastion Press. Thayan Gladiator allowed/what to do about ritual. Or a monk PrC that can be applied to natural weapons (as it affects feats) Human bonus feat/skills still applicable as the base creature for the template (wouldn't get the +1 skill point per level, but the 4 starting would count, I would think) |

10 years of experience isn't a stretch if you are trying to get into anything "not entry level" especially for a multi-billion dollar conglomerate.
depends on the pay and benefits which you have no idea what that position pays
Ya...that's not ridiculous for a company that's serious about their product. Would you let someone who doesn't show commitment manage your brand?

Going out to dinner? Wondering if that Italian joint on the corner is any good? Will Aunty Vegetarian be able to eat anything? Online restaurant guides can be a great help when planning a meal out. Some give you not only names, addresses and cuisine, but also menus, ambience photos and reviews. So when you're dining with friends who've a penchant for Swiss-Malay fusion, or you're visiting another town or city, online restaraunt guides are an ideal place to start. But which ones offer the most useful information, and how do you know which reviews you can trust? To find out, we chose 11 reasonably popular restaurants from the state capitals, ranging from cheapish to very expensive. The information on each restaurant was assessed for how recent it was, the breadth and depth of coverage, and accuracy of details such as address, phone number and website/email. We then looked up major regional centres throughout Australia, including some with well-regarded restaurants, and recorded the coverage of these centres. To see how up-to-date the sites were, we looked up a restaurant that closed during the test period to see how long this news would take to filter through. Finally we searched for all restaurants in particular suburbs to see how many venues each site came up with, and checked the details were current.
Please note: this information was current as of September 2008 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
Receive FREE email updates of our latest tests, consumer news and CHOICE marketing promotions.
First and foremost, information should be up-to-date and accurate. For this, most online restaurant guides rely on restaurants to manage their own listings, and for diners to alert the site manager to out-of-date information. Lists of recently opened eateries are also useful. Other desirable features include:
Melbourne foodies might be surprised to learn that their city's best food comes not from the Good Food Guide's three-hatters like Rockpool or Vue de Monde. Rather, according to one online guide, it's the little-known Shangri-La Inn, a Malaysian restaurant located in a suburban shopping centre. The one person who reviewed it had a good time and rated it accordingly — a perfect five out of five. But does that mean the Shangri-La Inn offers the best dining experience in Melbourne? Is it the foodie heaven, or indeed Shangri La, of fine dining? Reviews we found on other sites were warm and positive, but somehow lacked the superlatives of reviews for other great eateries. Conversely, do Rockpool (scoring 3.6/5 on the same online guide) and Vue de Monde (3.8/5) deserve their comparatively mediocre ratings, or have just a couple of less-than-gruntled diners pushed their ratings south?
You'll find various kinds of review in restaurant guides, including critics' reviews, editorial overviews, reviews from the dining public and a restaurant's own overviews. Whose opinions you can rely on will depend not only on the integrity of the review, but also on what you want from a restaurant. It should already be obvious from the example above that the review of one diner shouldn't be regarded as gospel — especially if that one person's only eaten one meal at the reviewed place (or is a relative of the owner!). The more reviews the merrier — there are lots of reasons for people having different opinions of a restaurant, including different expectations, the staff on the day, the food ordered (and of course subjectivity is a major player here) and the day of the visit (Fridays and Saturdays are likely to be much busier than other nights, while quiet nights can lack buzz and atmosphere). We like Eatability's approach, where reviewers are encouraged to use the same name each time, and you can read all the reviews by a particular person to see what they've said about other places — perhaps some you've been to — and build up a picture of the kind of reviewer they are (overly harsh or overly generous, for example). While you might take a single review from a critic more seriously than one from a single 'lay' diner, critics' reviews are subject to their own bias issues. It's widely acknowledged that well-known critics receive special attention from cooking and service staff, which could give them an overly favourable impression. This probably helps explain why other patrons visiting restaurants with lots of hype and hats may end up feeling a little underwhelmed. On the other hand, critics can be more picky about things that other diners wouldn't notice. Their single review could also be a little old, and many things could have changed since the time of writing. This is why we like Mietta's approach of using critics' reviews from as many sources as possible, often (though unfortunately not always) including very recent ones.
In the spirit of the 'Hats' awarded to great restaurants by The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guides, we're awarding Mice to the better online restaurant guides.
www.eatability.com.au About Eatability "It's great hearing from critics but Eatability gives you the inside information from everyday patrons." Covers Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, as well as regional centres in the corresponding states. Search by Name, suburb, area, cuisine, venue (café, bar), atmosphere, special diet, special features. Who provides information Restaurants can list free, and provide as much information as they wish. Reviewers are members of the public.
What we like about it
Room for improvement This site will get even better when reviews for restaurants in recently added cities start coming in.
www.miettas.com.au About Mietta's "It gives reasons to visit [restaurants] — not reasons to stay away." Covers All capitals and also regional areas, with over 7000 venues on its books. Search by Name, suburb, area, state, cuisine, price, size, Mietta's awards for food, wine and ambience, and features such as child-friendly or outside seating. Who provides information As well as its own reviews written by industry professionals, it adds reviews from reputable sources such as the Good Food Guide, Gourmet Traveller and major newspapers. There's no input from the dining public. What we like about it
Room for improvement Sometimes restaurants deserve a harsh word or two. Also, some of the reviews are a few years old, making them a little out of date.
www.yourrestaurants.com.au About yourRestaurants As well as a restaurant guide, it aims to help you organise your dining out life with facilities to put restaurants on your personal "favourites" and "wish list" lists. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by State, area, suburb, cuisine, opening days/hours, various features (including BYO, licensed, vegetarian options, wheelchair access, water views). Who provides the information Restaurants provide the basic information. As well as diner reviews from members of the public, there are general reviews provided by freelance writers (who aren't necessarily career restaurant critics). What we like about it
Room for improvement It doesn't have as many diner reviews as Eatability, especially in NSW, Queensland and Victoria, where Eatability is strongest. On the other hand, it's better than Eatability for information on the ACT, NT, SA, Tasmania and WA. More reviews would make this site great.
www.bestrestaurants.com.au About Best Restaurants It claims to be the first national web-based restaurant guide, starting in 1996. You probably won't find your local pizza joint on this site — as its name suggests, it's strongest on the mid to high-end restaurants, though it does cover café-style places with good-quality food. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by Suburb or area, price range, cuisine. The advanced search lets you select for places that are "accessible by seaplane", "in a winery" or "suitable for hens' nights" (though not bucks' nights, interestingly) and other such dining nuances. Information provided by Reviews are provided by staff writers. Diners are invited to give their reviews (which the site edits for clarity and to avoid defamatory comments) but this appears to be rarely taken up. What we like about it
Room for improvement More than one review would be good, especially since the review can be a few years old. Also, the date of reviews isn't always noted .
www.eatingwa.com.au About EatingWA The creators' idea was to provide a restaurant guide that's "simple, informative and stylish". Covers WA (though it's linked to OzEating.com.au, which covers other states) Search by Suburb (and surrounding suburbs), cuisine and style of dining (including al fresco, bistro, family, buffet). Who provides the information Restaurants can list free. Reviews and star ratings are provided by patrons, though sometimes there's also an editorial blurb. What we like about it
Room for improvement The editors choose which reviews to publish, and make it clear they're not likely to publish negative reviews — something people have commented on to us. We tested the theory by submitting a negative review, and it didn't get published. The editors subsequently explained they have a system in place that aims to prevent unfair treatment of a restaurant, and told us why our review wasn't published.
www.menulog.com.au About Menulog It claims to be Australia's newest and most comprehensive eating-out guide, covering both dine-in and takeaway services. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by Suburb or area, type of venue (restaurant, café, pub, bar), ambience, price, cuisine. Who provides the information Restaurants provide basic information and menus. Excerpts of reviews from critics are published, as well as diner reviews. What we like about it
Room for improvement
There are some potentially-great websites out there with really useful features that are let down mainly by the lack of information for each restaurant. As these websites get more and more reviews, they'll become more popular, and get more reviews and become more popular… and so on. Whether or not they'll reach that critical mass — when there are excellent sites already out there — remains to be seen. Some of the other sites we looked at are:
Why not try googling a restaurant's name? There's a cyberjungle of foodie bloggers out there, and chances are you'll find someone who's been to it. Some of the blogs we looked at were pretty comprehensive and included good-quality pictures of the food and well written and apparently well-considered reviews. You might find one or two favourites in whose dining footsteps you can follow — or not. It's also a good way to check up on new restaurants that haven't made it to the mainstream guides.

The soldier girl blues
Friday, February 1, 2013
What if, during the presidential campaign, Mitt Romney had accused President Obama of wanting to let servicewomen serve in combat? After all, Obama had hinted as much in 2008. What would Obama's response have been?
Most lacking from the coverage is any attempt to explain how this will make combat units better at combat. Instead, we're told that gender integration is necessary because without combat experience, it's hard for women to get promoted.
Heck, if we'll never have wars between standing armies again, we can really afford to cut the defense budget. Something tells me that's not the conclusion the Pentagon wants us to draw.
As to the first point, Israeli gender integration is often wildly exaggerated. And the Canadians have neither the capacity nor the need for a large standing army. |

Biography of Nahche, an Apache Warrior
Posted By Dennis On In Native American | No Comments
Discover your
family's story.
Enter a grandparent's name to get started.
Nahche (Na-ai-che, `mischievous,' `meddlesome.'-George Wrattan). An Apache warrior, a member of the Chiricahua band. He is the second son of the celebrated Cochise, and as hereditary chief succeeded his elder brother, Tazi, on the death of the latter. His mother was a daughter of the notorious Mangas Coloradas.
As a child Nahche was meddlesome and mischievous, hence his name. He was the leading spirit in the many raids that almost desolated the smaller settlements of Arizona and New Mexico and of northern Chihuahua and Sonora between 1881 and 1886, for which Geronimo's, a Medicine-man and malcontent rather than a warrior, received the chief credit. In the latter year Geronimo's band, so called, of which Nahche was actually the chief, was captured by General Miles and taken as prisoners of war successively to Florida, Alabama, and finally to Ft Sill, Okla., where Nahche still resides, respected by his own people as well as by the whites. He is now (1907) about 49 years of age. In his prime as a warrior he was described as supple and graceful, with long, flexible hands, and a rather handsome face. His present height is 5 ft. 10½ in. Col. H. L. Scott (inf'n, 1907), for four years in charge of the Chiricahua prisoners in Oklahoma, speaks of Nahche as a most forceful and reliable man, faithfully performing the duties assigned to him as a prisoner, whether watched or not. He was proud and self-respecting, and was regarded by the Chiricahua at Ft Sill as their leader. In recent years, however, he has lost his old-time influence as well as some of his trustworthiness (inf'n from Geo. Wrattan, official interpreter, 1907).

In another case of if it affects you, now it matters. Attorney Charles Cooper, the lawyer who defended Prop 8 in the State Supreme Court, said that he is "evolving" on gay marriage. What's changed you ask? Well of course, his daughter is marrying a woman. From Brandon Sun:
The revelation is an unexpected footnote in the years-long debate over Proposition 8, the California measure struck down by the Supreme Court last year. It is also offers a glimpse, through the eyes of one family, of the country's rapidly shifting opinions of gay marriage, with most public polls now showing majorities in favour of allowing the unions.

Terps Driver Runs the Toughest Race
Sometimes it just pays to be lucky.
As I was heading out to interview Busch driver Donnie Neuenberger, who was raised in Brandywine and lives in Edgewater, Md., I ran into another Marylander, Jim Long of Ellicott City. Check out Jim's "do," and you'll know why I had to stop to ask him a few questions..
Not every fan is willing to go the extra mile and display "NASCAR" on his head, or, like Jim, dye his hair a different color every time he goes to a race. Still, Jim's a Maryland fan. He wants to get a University of Maryland Terrapins shell and "Fear the Turtle" put on his head for a race back home.
Donnie Neuenberger probably isn't considering a Terrapin trim. But he does wear a Terps driving suit. I asked Jim if he knew about Donnie. "Yeah, he used to do the race report on Monday's on 98 Rock (in Baltimore)," said Jim. "He's racing Busch here tomorrow?" He was surprised. He'd heard of Donnie's illness.
Donnie's on the comeback trail after hanging up his driving gloves two seasons ago to battle non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He was scheduled to run the full Busch series. Instead he had to miss the action to take on the fight of his life. He endured the eight months of treatment -- he calls it "eight months of hell." Right now he's "stable," which is good enough to race.
As an independent driver, Donnie's also fighting hard to compete against the big boys on the track. He had to take a provisional for this year's Hershey's Kissable 300.
It's "very tough," he says. He estimates he can pull together $40,000 or $50,000 to run a Busch race. The owners with deep pockets put $100,000 more into a race than that, he says.
But he's grateful the sponsors he does have that help keep him on the circuit, even if it's not for every race. He's driving the Cayman Islands car now. His main sponsor, Craig Arch, owns Bay Area Goodyear Tire stores and Arch automotive and tire in the Cayman Islands. Craig is from the Caymans, where there's a real car culture, I'm told. You can find die-cast car models of Donnie's cars down there, and one of his race cars was shipped down to display in Craig's shop.
For Donnie, it's all gravy now anyway. He's surpassed what anyone ever thought he'd achieve. "Nobody ever gave me a chance at doing well in racing. But I'm a competitive person."
"It's been a long, hard road, but I wouldn't trade any of it." Like any driver, he's got memories to cherish and great track stories to tell.
My favorite is the one where Ken Schrader once gave Donnie and some other rookies a safety tip. Schrader told them to sit in the car and reach around to find anything they could touch. "If you can touch it, it's gonna hurt when you hit it," Schrader said, according to Donnie. I took that to mean in a wreck.
Donnie's planning to run a couple of Cup races this year. Watch for him at Dover for sure. "Up there, I can get local sponsors." His ultimate dream is to run in the Daytona 500 at least once.
When he's not racing, Donnie makes regular trips to Children's Hospital in Washington to visit with the children in the cancer ward. "I can't imagine them going through what I went through as kids."
And in the Baltimore area, Donnie's got another gig: a racing show on ESPN Radio's 1300 AM station. If you're out of broadcast range, check out his Webcast:

Find me a guy with NASCAR TATTOOED on his head and we'll talk. lol. Man, it sounds like a blast down there. Who knew we had a local driver? (easy killers, I haven't followed racing before now). Now I have someone to root for!

I saw Donnie a couple of weeks ago, heard he was heading back to Daytona.
Glad to see this piece, and glad he had a reasonable finish at in the Busch race.
I used to do some racing myself in Lot 4 at UM CP back in the day...

On Tuesday we, our Recruitment Manager, Garreth Gaydon, and I were let out of the office for the day to go and visit Aardman! I have to say, it was awesome! Based in Bristol, it's a bit of a trek but well worth the effort. They are such a brilliant studio and it's every bit as cool as you'd imagine.
One of the things that you might not know about Aardman is that they don't just do stopframe animation like Wallace and Grommit, even though they are renowned for it. They also have three large CGI departments working in Commercials, Broadcast and film with a range of job roles from animators, TD's and compositors.
We were lucky enough to be given a full tour of the building where we saw a familiar face. Escapee Dan Bryan (he's the guy on the right next to Garreth) has just secured a job as junior compositor there. He talked to us about his life as an artist at Aardman and how he drives into work everyday in his two seater convertible. Which left me thinking about my regular, near death experiences commuting through London on my bike - maybe I'm in the wrong job afterall...
Our next Character Animation Course is starting in July and is being taught by Alex Williams, an animation legend. If you'd like to follow into Dan Bryan's footsteps and dream of a career as an animator, why not get in touch?

Dingles Toyota has supplied nine Hilux double cabs to the Broads Authority to be used by its rangers and construction maintenance teams.
Saturday, June 16, 2012
The Broads Authority has added nine Toyota Hilux double cabs to its fleet for use by rangers and construction maintenance teams across its sites around the Broads.
With a real need for reliable, excellent off-road robust vehicles that meet the needs of the Broads onsite teams, the organisation favoured buying the Toyota Hilux HL2 Double Cabs from Dingles Toyota in Delft Way, Norwich.
Dingles managing director John Dingle said: "It's great to be able to supply these vehicles to the Broads Authority. Our commitment to customer care does not just end at our retail customers but our business users also experience the unique difference that Dingles provides. We are proud of our association with the authority and my thanks go to Brendon Lansdowne, our business centre manager, for all his work involved with the purchase."
The Broads is Britain's largest protected wetland and third largest inland waterway. Holding national park status it is home to some of the rarest plants and animals in the UK. The Broads Authority was set up in 1989 and holds responsibility for conservation, planning, recreation and waterways.
The cars will be used by rangers in their bid to patrol the Broads sites and maintain surrounding countryside. They will carry equipment for countryside management and attend events to tell people about the Broads and the work of the authority. The construction and maintenance team undertakes a variety of duties, from dredging mud to maintaining the moorings, and so again needs vehicles that can accommodate tools with a good towing capacity.
Rob Holman, Broads Authority director of resources, said: "The authority is striving to reduce its CO2 emissions at every opportunity and these vehicles will help us achieve that – and save money.
"Our rangers and construction and maintenance teams need vehicles that have a good towing and carrying capacity, together with the ability to 'rough it' off-road. The new Toyota Hilux met all our operational requirements and will cut the equivalent of their own weight in CO2 emissions in a year compared to some of our existing vehicles.
"They are much more fuel-efficient and buying them, as opposed to leasing our current fleet, will save us a significant sum within a few years. It goes to show that going green is not always more expensive."
The 4WD Toyota Hilux HL2 Double Cab costs £18,290 (commercial vehicle on the road price) has a 144bhp 2.5-litre D-4D engine with a combined fuel consumption figure of 38.7mpg. Features include air conditioning, auto disconnecting differential, rear locking differential, remote central locking and heated electrically-adjustable door mirrors.

Kenny Ross's excellent story of the dee part 5
story of the dee Mirren in the penultimate game.There was Alex Hamilton, Dundee's most capped player with 24 international appearances for Scotland, a joker and an extrovert, whose party-piece was playing keepie-up with a sixpence before flicking it up and catching it in his pocket and fellow full back Bobby Cox, the local boy who with his famous sliding tackle who skippered the Club he loved to its greatest moment.Legends all of them and the following season, Dundee set off on a memorable European odyssey as the Club entered into it's first foray into continental competition. As they took their European Cup challenge to a semi-final against AC Milan, they showed that the classic Scottish passing game which they played, could work as well in Europe as in Scotland. Their campaign began with an 8-1 thumping of second favourites Cologne, before a bruising rematch in Germany. Sporting Lisbon and Anderlecht were also dispatched before AC Milan ended the dream 5-1 in the San Siro despite Dundee winning the second leg 1-0 at home.Another Scottish Cup Final followed in 1964 when only two late goals denied them a replay against Rangers in a game during which keeper Bert Slater turned in one of all time great performances in a final and a League Cup Final was reached in 1967 where the Dark Blues lost 5-3 to Celtic.That same season Dundee enjoyed their second European semi final as they reached the last four of the Inter City Fairs Cup - the predecessor to the UEFA Cup where they lost to Don Revie's Leeds United 2-1 on aggregate.1973 brought Dundee's last major trophy when captain Tommy Gemmell lifted the League Cup after Gordon Wallace's winner had beaten Celtic 1-0 at Hampden and both would later go on to manage the Club..Two seasons later came the formation of the Premier League, something Dundee had been prime movers in establishing, but they were not in it for long, being relegated at the end of the first season. They found life tougher than anticipated in the First Division and although promotion was achieved in 1978 the Dark Blues were back down by the end of the following campaign despite registering a famous 5-1 win over Celtic towards the end of the season.1980-81 saw them win their way back to the Premier League under the management of Donald McKay and reach another League Cup final which was played at Dens Park in an historic Jute City Final against Dundee United and once up Dundee, stayed in the top flight throughout the eightiesThe nineties brought more years in second tier wilderness with a Centenary Cup win in 1990 and two First Division titles in 1992 and 1998 and another League Cup Final as a First Division club, where they lost 2-0 to Aberdeen at Hampden.

I think preppy can define a way of dressing or it can be used as an unnecessary label concerning a persons demeanor and atittude. In regards to a way of dress, I think it's fabulous, but I also like roll out of bed and walk to class in sweats and a hoodie sometimes:). If you mean as an "unnecessary label concerning a persons demeanor and atittude" I don't like it. If some one is mean or has a CRAPPY atittude... I just try not to be around them alot, but I won't label them a prep or hate them.
I hate people based on themselves, not their social status. As a nerd, too many times has that happened to me:P.

ComicBookMovie.com has posted a full body photo of Ann Hathaway in her full Catwoman costume which was released by Warner Bros. Unfortunately, there is no cowl or any indication that she is a "Cat".I am starting to believe that this is the only incarnation of the character we will see in the movie. Maybe they are having a separate origin story for her in which she is a jewel thief and then something happens in the end and we see her transform into Catwoman similar to what the did with Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight.
Are you guys happy with this final costume or were you expecting more? Let us know in the comments.
UPDATE: As many of you have noted in the comments section, Just Jared were fooled (as we were) by an extremely clever FAKE! For now, it looks like what we saw of Catwoman yesterday will be it for the time being.
