Should a professor be allowed to give an assignment favoring her own political views?
PICTURES in linked articleA professor at a public university in Texas is under investigation from school administrators for allegedly forcing students in her graphic design class to create anti-gun posters for a personal anti-gun campaign she had launched.
Midwestern State University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Betty Stewart confirmed to Campus Reform Friday the school has launched an investigation into professor Jennifer Yucus? conduct after a student filed an official complaint on Thursday.
According to the complaint, obtained by Campus Reform, the professor compelled students in her graphic design class to create artwork opposing firearms on campus and opposing pro-gun legislation currently pending before the Texas state legislature.
The professor then used the artwork students created online to publicize an anti-gun petition entitled ?MSU is anti-Concealed Carry on Campus? and on a now deleted Facebook page opposing firearms, says the complaint.
?On Monday, April 1, around 7 PM (class was 5:30 ? 8:20), Jennifer Yucus, Assistant Professor of Graphic Art/Design, compelled students from her Computers For Artists class to advocate in favor of a political petition opposing firearms on campus, in opposition to a pair of bills currently before the Texas legislature, using personal art materials and MSU resources,? reads the complaint.
?Several of my classmates were uncomfortable with the assignment and either quietly or openly expressed this,? it continues. ?Professor Yucus asked students to rationalize objections by thinking of it as a job from an employer (or words to that effect).?
The complaint adds that Yucus ?did require all works to include the URL to the petition? she had created and adds that students were photographed while crafting the posters to give the illusion of youth support.
?Professor Yucus took photos of her students in the process of drafting and creating the posters, but did not say how these would be used,? says the complaint. ?The posters were then hung in the hallways of the Fain Arts building, giving the impression of student support.?
Some of the photos later appeared on an anti-gun Facebook page that appeared to have been created by Yucus. The page appeared to have been deleted after the complaint was filed, but Campus Reform was able to capture the posted images before they were removed.
According to the complaint, Yucus used her official university-issued e-mail address to later forward a URL to her petition to the entire class.
State law in Texas appears to forbid professors at public universities from using their authority to compel others to advocate for political causes.
?A state officer or employee may not use official authority? to interfere with or affect the result of an election or nomination of a candidate or to achieve any other political purpose,? reads subsection C of 556.004 of Government Code, Title 5, entitled ?Open Government, Ethics.?
Stewart, told Campus Reform the university is taking the allegations very seriously.
?It is a serious offense,? she said. ?My first step is to speak with student directly after reading the report that I received. Then I will speak with the professor.?
However, Stewart noted that throughout the duration of the investigation, professor Yucus will continue to remain on active duty and teach her classes.
?Yes, she will still be allowed to teach her students,? she said.
Prof at public univ under investigation for allegedly forcing students to make anti-gun posters
Campus officials are saying the issue has been resolved, but they haven't even contacted the student who filed the complaint.
MSU closes investigation into anti-gun art posters ? Times Record NewsMidwestern State University officials said they investigated a student?s complaint about how an assistant professor handled a gun control art poster project and, in a statement released by public information officer Julie Gaynor late Wednesday, said that ?this issue has been resolved satisfactorily.?
However, MSU officials closed the investigation without contacting the student who filed the complaint, according to Campus Reform reporter Oliver Darcy late Wednesday.
Darcy spoke with the student, who continues to remain anonymous, after the MSU statement was released.
Darcy said the student told him that even though seven days had passed since filing the complaint, MSU had not contacted the student to hear more about the incident.

I never consider a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosopy, as a cause for withdrawing from a friend. --Thomas Jefferson
The assignment on its own doesn't bother me. I think it is a teachable moment of preparing for real life when you may have to make a poster like this for a job and I think it could be demonstrated how perhaps our thoughts and feelings contribute to our work (for example, since I'm not a pro gun person...if I made a poster on pro gun rights how would my feelings mix in with what the customer wants me to portray)
I am NOT okay with the fact that she used their work to promote her own agenda and without their permission. That should not be tolerated.
Mom to Elizabeth (6) and Corinne (4)
I think the assignment should have been make a political poster. Or a poster about an societal issue. I think she is trying to profit from their work and should make her own dang poster!

See R. G. Kent, Old Persian (1950); A. K. S. Lambton, Persian Grammar (1971).
Iranian language spoken by more than 25 million people in Iran as a first language, and by millions more as a second. Modern Persian is a koine developed from southwestern dialects in the 7th–9th centuries, after the introduction of Islam brought a massive infusion of loanwords from Arabic. Its standardization and literary cultivation took place in northeastern Persia and Central Asia in the 11th–12th centuries. Polities outside Persia itself (e.g., Mughal India, Ottoman Turkey) have at times been major literary centres. Its status in those countries led to a very strong Persian influence on Urdu and Ottoman Turkish. Other Turkic and Indo-Aryan languages, Caucasian languages, and Iranian languages have also borrowed heavily from Persian. It is written in a slightly modified form of the Arabic alphabet.

Gigabyte said that its range of USB 3.0 motherboards now support USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP). UASP is a protocol initiated by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). It is said to speed up data throughput to SCSI devices by up to 20 percent, while also reducing CPU utilisation, data latency and user waiting time.
Gigabyte has a range of USB 3.0 motherboards, with over 30 models that are claimed to span both Intel and AMD platforms. The company also claims to currently have more certified SuperSpeed USB motherboards than any other brand.
Users can now experience UASP offers by downloading and installing the latest USB 3.0 driver from the Gigabyte website. UASP device vendors who are working with Gigabyte for USB 3.0 cross validation and testing include Buffalo, CyberSLIM, OCZ, Sharkoon and SuperTalent.
Tim Handley, deputy director of motherboard marketing at Gigabyte said: "At Gigabyte we have made it our goal to be the leading USB 3.0 motherboard brand, and so we are pleased to announce support of UASP across all our SuperSpeed USB products.
"As an increasing range of external USB 3.0 storage devices make their way into the market after Computex this year, we see great value and importance in UASP in driving the performance of SuperSpeed USB to reach its full potential."
Gigabyte says USB 3 motherboards are compatible with UASP

BALTIMORE — In the world of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, hardly anyone is untouchable.
Take former Ravens coach Brian Billick. Ryan worked for Billick as a defensive assistant/coordinator for nine years.
You would figure they would have some love for each other. But when Ryan was asked what he thought of Billick reportedly saying he needed to tone down his act a little, Ryan shot back.
"Like I give a (expletive)," Ryan said. "I just thought, OK, Brian, that's more than he ever talked to me before when he was here (in Baltimore)."

Customer Reviews
My new sewing machine came with a screwdriver that wasn't compatible with my machine. I needed one that would work when I needed to replace a broken machine needle, etc. These gave me the needed sizes and work especially great in the small spaces where I need to be able to reach the screw on the head of my machine so I am able to oil my machine correctly. They are worth much more to me then I paid for them…What a bargain!!!…plus they are just really cute! Thankyou!!!!
Very tiny, good design.
I don't see much for size in the description, but these are only about 1 1/4" in total length and about 3/4" wide. That said, they're still well worth the purchase. The back of the handle is a concave indentation that allows you to hold it against the fastener with one finger and turn with the others, which is incredibly useful in tight spots.
Tiny, but useful.
In case it's not clear from the item description, these are smaller than "standard" stubby screwdrivers. So you're not going to be able to get a lot of torque with them, but for those REALLY tight spots they are useful. They seem to be pretty sturdy, too.
Exactly as advertised
Got this because I couldn't find a quality stubby to keep in the kitchen gadget drawer for those moments when I need to adjust the height of my Kitchenaid mixer – a job for which it is perfectly designed.
Just what I needed.
I needed a very short handled screwdriver for my sewing machine. These were just perfect. They fit in the feed area just right.
Fast service
I received my order very quickly, perfect condition & exactly what I was expecting. I would use this seller again.
Great size
Just love these little screwdrivers. They are the perfect size for my use to get into small spaces. Priced right too.
Love them !!!!
Works great with my Brother machine. So much easier than the ones that came with the machine. Recommend them for all sewing machines.
What a great product!
I purchased these to use when doing maintenance on my sewing machine. Some members of my family saw them and 4 of them wanted them. Two of them are engineers, one a home Depot manager, and one a a nurse. They all say that they couldn't do their jobs without them. Go Stubby Screw Drivers.
Worlds smallest screw drivers
When you need them, they are exactly what you need. I have several sets of these, and writing a review, I want to buy another set. Use them all the time in the field. Well made.

It's a story unlike any other. It shows a lifestyle unlike any other. And even more fascinating, it shows a side of America unlike any other you have ever seen before.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" follows a spunky and determined 6 year old girl named Hushpuppy as she gets schooled in the ways of survival in the unforgiving Louisiana delta. Her father, Wink, serves as part time parental figure/harsh educator as they eek out a living 'the bathtub', a swampy area on the wrong side of the levee.
What we see is truly a wild side of life with a small, tight knit group of hard drinking, good time loving people. At first I was taken aback by the harsh reality and filthy, chaotic conditions of Hushpuppy's world. This gave way to equal parts awe and envy of the casual and seemingly stress free lifestyle. Who was I to judge this crazy community when they were so happy and self sufficient?
When a powerful storm floods the tub, even the most intrepid survivor knows it's time to leave for dryer ground. But not Wink. He holds out with a handful of other die-hards and even does his best to defy the feds when they come to relocate the rag tag bunch. Suddenly all of his tough love life lessons come into sharp focus for Hushpuppy. For the rest of us, the movie turns into a surreal experiment in a mashup of reality and a child's wild imagination.
Quvenzhané Wallis as Hushpuppy and Dwight Henry as Wink, give performances that are as raw and real as they get. They are as fresh to movie making as their Director/Co-writer Benh Zeitlin. Maybe it is their inexperience that kept everyone from falling into some Hollywood movie artifice. All I know is that the fantasy element of the storytelling was the only thing that kept reminding me this was a movie. Because try as I might, I couldn't imagine a director yelling cut after a scene or a make-up artist applying fresh wounds or mud on a face. It felt more like a documentary than a movie with a script and actors.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" is going to be one of those strange, little movies that will find an audience solely by word of mouth. Anyone who sees it will not be able to shake the haunting imagery or unaffected, gripping performances. So they will talk and encourage others to take the dip in the bathtub. Let me be the first to do just that and encourage you, most whole-heartedly to see the best performances and most original storytelling of the year. Go see "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" wades through 4 Red Vines for being a real original
A preview of this movie was provided by the studio but in no way affects this review.

It has come to this. A special edition of a special edition, named for the made-for-TV cash tsunami at which many of the first editions of the aforementioned special editions are auctioned off at eye-watering prices. It is the (we are not making any of this up, by the way) Barrett-Jackson Shelby GT. There will be 100 of them in total (coupes and convertibles), they will be black with (again, not making it up) "Barrett-Jackson Red" stripes, Barrett-Jackson sill plates, all the expected Shelby badging, and they'll start at a smidge under $39K, $250 of which goes to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Ironically, the first one of these will not be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson. The B-J/GT is an Arizona-region Ford dealer exclusive, and it officially went on sale today. In addition to the car itself, buyers get an autographed family photo featuring Carroll Shelby and Amy Boylan from the Shelby Autos side, and Greg Jackson and Steve Davis from the B-J side. In a glaring omission, Ford mullet hero and perennial Barrett-Jackson special guest star, Mark Fields, is somehow not included in the photo. What a gyp.

Exclusive 2008 Barrett-Jackson Shelby GT Unveiled in Arizona
- 2008 Barrett-Jackson Shelby GT Production is Scheduled for 100 Total Units
- Black Exterior with "Barrett-Jackson" Red Stripes and Other Touches Included
- Cars Will Be Sold Through Arizona Ford Dealers
- A Portion of Proceeds from Sales to Benefit the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation.
With an MSRP beginning at US$38,980.00, a total of 100 2008 Barrett-Jackson Shelby GTs, in both coupe and convertible body styles, will be sold through Arizona Region Ford dealers beginning today. The purchase price of each car will include a $250 donation to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation
"The Arizona and Las Vegas Ford dealers have been strong supporters of mine over the years, which is why Shelby Automobiles joined with Barrett-Jackson and Ford Motor Company to create a limited edition car just for their customers," said Carroll Shelby, CEO of Shelby Automobiles. "And I'm pleased that a portion of the sales will benefit an endowment we're building at the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. This is a rare chance for enthusiasts to enjoy a very special car and support a great cause."
Ford is a strong supporter of Barrett-Jackson and has sponsored its Family Value Day that kicks off the automotive lifestyle week in Scottsdale. Family Value Day was designed to attract a new generation of car enthusiasts by offering discounted tickets for adults and admitting children under the age of 12 for free.
"Barrett-Jackson's unrivaled lifestyle events celebrate America's love of the automobile," said Ford Motor Company Phoenix Regional Sales Manager, Tim Stoehr. "Their passion for the automobile has resulted in a unique venue to share our vehicles with the public. This limited edition car symbolizes our high octane relationship and gives a few lucky people the chance to own a piece of the Barrett-Jackson experience."
Over the past 37 years, Barrett-Jackson has evolved from an auction primarily attended by dedicated collectors and dealers into a retail automotive lifestyle event that is broadcast live worldwide. Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s have been among the most popular cars to cross the auction block.
"We have a long tradition of selling the best Shelbys in the world because they are among the most desirable cars ever built," said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. "Over the past several years, we've worked with Ford Motor Company to raise almost a million and a half dollars for Carroll's Foundation by offering new Shelby cars for sale. It was natural to celebrate our connection to these cars with a very limited edition Shelby."
From the black 18-inch wheels to the Shelby Cobra roadster hood scoop, the car is mean. The engine is upgraded with a Ford Racing package to pump out 319 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque through a high-flow exhaust system with X-pipe crossover. The Shelby GT comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission featuring a Hurst short-throw shifter; a five-speed automatic transmission is optional. The package includes a Ford Racing Handling Pack with special-tuned dampers, unique sway bars and a 3.55:1 ratio rear axle assembly. Overall ride height was dropped and a front strut-tower brace added.
"The Shelby GT was designed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience," said Amy Boylan, President of Shelby Automobiles. "In addition to the 'go faster goodies,' each will receive special badges and equipment, as well as a photo of one of these cars signed by Carroll."
Unique features of the Barrett-Jackson edition will include:
-- Black exterior with "Barrett-Jackson Red" LeMans Hood and Side Stripes
-- Barrett Jackson Edition Door Sill Plates
-- Black interior with the Shelby GT serial number plate
-- Special Gas Cap Insert
-- Autographed photo of Carroll Shelby, Craig Jackson, Amy Boylan and Steve Davis
"As someone who has been personally involved with Shelby cars for the past three decades, I'm very proud to be part of this limited edition car," noted Steve Davis, President of Barrett-Jackson. "Rarity and documentation are two of the keys to collectability, which is why only 100 Barrett-Jackson Shelby GTs are scheduled to be built. Each car will come with complete documentation and be included in the factory authorized registry."
The Barrett-Jackson Shelby GT will be displayed at the Arizona International Auto Show from November 22-25.

The Phillies will look to stay perfect this season against the Astros -- and clinch a playoff berth with a win and a Cardinals loss in Pittsburgh -- as Oswalt and Pence both make their first trip back to Minute Maid Park in Houston to square off against their former club.
The Phillies' magic number to clinch at least a Wild Card berth is two, so they are poised to reach the postseason for a fifth consecutive season.
Pence was dealt to first-place Philadelphia on July 29, while Oswalt was also traded from the Astros to the Phillies exactly one year earlier. Both have been instrumental in Philadelphia's recent success -- the Phillies' magic number to win the National League East is down to six games -- while Houston dwells in the NL Central cellar.
"It's going to be interesting -- we're facing Roy and Hunter will be in right [field]," Astros manager Brad Mills said. "I'm sure that both of those guys are thinking that it's going to be really interesting for them to come back and play in front of the fans they played in front of for so many years. For the fans, it's going to be really interesting to see them in another uniform."
Astros fans have had a brief chance to see Oswalt in a Phillies uniform, though not in Houston. His first start of the year -- a victory -- came against the Astros in Philadelphia.
"It should be fun," Oswalt said. "It should be a little different. I've been there for a long time, but it should be fun."
Pence, too, has performed well with the Phils since the move. He's started every game since the trade and finished August with a .340 average, seven homers and 16 RBIs.
"I'm just going to go play hard, go have fun," Pence said. "That's what I've always done my whole career. It's a familiar park. I've been there a lot. It is what it is."
The Phillies have won six of seven, outscoring opponents in those games, 35-15.
Houston has won six of its last 13 games and is 11-13 in its last 24 contests.
Phillies: On the road again
Playing away from Philadelphia certainly doesn't seem to faze the Phils, who are 20-6 in their last 26 road games and have won 10 of 13 away from home.
The Phillies own baseball's best road record, at 45-27, and that win total is tied for fourth-most in a single season in club history. The franchise's high mark is 48 wins (1976, 2009).
On Aug. 29, Philadelphia began a stretch of 33 games in 31 days to end the season and is 11-3.
Astros: Myers on the hill Monday
Right-hander Brett Myers, a former Phillie, gets the ball in the opener, looking to win back-to-back decisions for the first time this season.
Myers was excellent in his last outing, against the Pirates, when he allowed just one earned run on four hits over 7 2/3 innings for the victory.
"I just try to go out there and give quality starts," Myers said after the last start, his first win since June 17. "If I get a win, I get a win. I'm trying to help the ballclub win games, but it's always good to get a win for myself, too."
Carlos Lee, who has reached the 80-RBI plateau in each of his 13 Major League seasons, has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 games, with four homers and 13 RBIs in that span.
Entering 2011, Lee was tied with Chipper Jones and Jim Thome as the only active players to achieve 12 80-RBI seasons. Alex Rodriguez (15) is the only active player with more.
Worth noting
The Phillies, 3-0 against Houston this year, have outscored the Astros, 21-11.
Houston has won eight of its last 11 home games and is 12-12 at Minute Maid Park since the All-Star break.

So my main character is Shaco. He's a full offensive jungler, and a great counter jungler too. I can't really seem to play any other junglers except for him. I think I'm pretty good with him too, sometimes I take the AD carrie's role on accident. I always steal dragon or get it first, steal buffs, gank lanes very easily, ect. But I have been playing lots of games recently and in the past 25 on and off, the enemy team has 2 top and no jungler. What should a shaco do in a blind pick in this situation? Continue jungling and help mid/bot, which I can easily do, or just go top? Any suggestions would be nice. Shaco is my favorite character, but whenever there's 2 enemies top we always lose, and in these situations, I'm always a positive k/d ratio too.
The cool thing about teams who go duo top is that they just gave up their map control and their farm. The good thing about Shaco is that he can pull of deadly ganks at level 2 and punish people who overextend hard. You mostly need to give a bit more attention to top since it's 1v2 and make sure he doesn't lose lane. It kind of depends on the matchup according to how well you and your solo top does in that lane, but go ahead can get your free buffs from their jungle, since most of such teams don't have their camps warded.

Get a fast level 2 and go top and get a double kill. (If possible) Farm all of the jungle, give blue to your mid, and make sure bot is doing well. Have the top laner try to remain at high HP and still get exp (tower hug). Gank top a lot, and bring the mid with you sometimes.

Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

I used to be all semi-auto and never understood why anyone would carry a revolver over an auto. After getting my ccw a few years ago I found that very few autos are what I would call comfortable for all day carry. About 3-4 hours and i was ready to get it off me. Along came the LCR .357 in a Nemesis pocket holster and I sold all of my autos. I can carry the LCR all day and even forget it's there. I sometimes worry about capacity so I carry two speedstripes in my pocket for a total of 17 rounds. Yeah the reload my take longer but unless you're in gang territory I don't believe that would be a big problem. I have also thought of getting another LCR in .38 to carry as a backup and load my strips with .38+p for reload in either gun. That would be 10 rounds before a reload. So, put me down as a converted revolver man.
Confidence is the feeling you have before you realize the full measure of the situation.
EDC is an officers model 1911, I used to be a wheel gun guy but I'm just so much more accurate with a 1911.
I voted "revolver" based on the posting question of primary CCW, as my principal weapon is usually a S&W 642 (OWB or fanny pack) or Taurus 85 (in my briefcase, to and from the office). I also carry a semi-auto just about all of the time (KT P32 in my right front pants pocket - at home, in the car and at the office).
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Carry both.......at different times......depends on the situation and clothing.
I carry a semi, most of the time. When I carry my 442, it's usually playing a supplemental role.

It is a 3.5 inch 1911 rock island for me. I really, really want a LCR .357 or SP101 though. Yes I said really, really!!LOL!
The 1911 is an antiquated weapons system but then again, so am I.

Multi-microjoule, MHz repetition rate Ti:sapphire ultrafast regenerative amplifier system |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 7, pp. 7015-7021 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1089 KB)
We demonstrate a cryogenically cooled Ti:sapphire ultrafast regenerative amplifier laser system producing >20 μJ energies at 50 kHz, >12 μJ at 200 kHz and >3.5 μJ at 1MHz with repetition rates continuously tunable from 50 kHz up to 1.7 MHz in a footprint of only 60x180 cm2. This laser uses down-chirped pulse amplification employing a grism stretcher and a glass-block compressor, achieving sub-60-fs pulse duration. This laser represents a several-times improvement in repetition-rate and average power over past Ti:sapphire-based ultrafast lasers in this class. We discuss the unique challenges and solutions for this laser system. This laser system has wide applications especially in ultrafast photoemission, nonlinear imaging and spectroscopy, as well as for micro/nano-machining and ultrafast laser therapy and surgery.

Researchers have developed a new oral antiseptic spray which they claim can kill 99.9 per cent of infectious airborne germs.
Researchers from the University Hospitals Case Medical Centre after two separate studies developed Halo Oral Antiseptic, a first-of-its kind germ-fighting spray.
"Respiratory tract disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Halo is unique in that it offers protection from airborne germs such as influenza and rhino virus," Frank Esper, lead author of one of the studies, said.
Mr Esper and his team used glycerine and xanthan gum as a microbial barrier combined with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as a broad-spectrum anti-infective agent to fight respiratory illnesses.
To test this, clinical strains of 2009 pandemic H1N1 were used as a prototype virus to demonstrate Halo's anti-infective activity in cell culture assays.
"The glycerine and xanthan gum prevent the germs from entering a person's system and the CPC kills the germs once they're trapped there," Mr Esper said in a statement.
Halo will have clear benefit to aid against infection and reduce disease from epidemic, sporadic or pandemic respiratory viral infections, Mr Esper believes.
Preliminary data from researchers in another study led by Mahmoud Ghannoum found that Halo completely killed all 11 clinical strains of whooping cough (Bordetella pertussis) against which the spray was tested.
The results showed that when a person used three sprays of Halo, it destroyed airborne germs breathed in for up to six hours, even when people were eating and drinking.
The concept of coating the back of the oral cavity to prevent germs from entering and then providing sustained antiseptic action to kill airborne germs was developed by a Cleveland company, Oasis Consumer Healthcare.
The findings were presented in San Francisco at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC).

After eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area (during which time he earned an M.A. in literature from San Francisco State University), a once-stable first marriage, a divorce that began genially enough, and an ill-advised stint in Reno, Nevada, he once again relocated to Southern California, with his lovely and talented wife, an out-of-date comics collection, and jobs teaching English at a couple of Orange County colleges. Since Buckley restarted writing in the spring of 2009, after a creative dry spell of almost two decades, his poems have been accepted for publication in over 150 periodicals and anthologies. In addition to writing individual works, he is engaged in an ongoing game of poetic volleyball with established Los Angeles writer Martin Ott (Interrogator's Notebook, Captive). Buckley's inaugural chapbook, Breach Birth, was published by Propaganda Press in March 2011. Propaganda Press also published his second chapbook, Leading an Aquamarine Shoat by Its Tail. His full-length solo collection, Sky Sandwiches, appeared on Anaphora Literary Press in August 2012. His first volume of collaborations with Martin Ott, Poets' Guide to America, came out on Brooklyn Arts Press in November 2012. In Fall 2012, Buckley moved back to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to attend the University of Michigan as an MFA student in poetry. Poets' Guide to America maps the cultural landscape of the fifty US states and more in the adventuresome and humorous collaborative poetic debuts of John F. Buckley and Martin Ott. Here there be krakens, zeppelins, topiary dragons, leather stockings, anthems, matchlocks, SEALs, Vikings, mancaves, lunar fontanels, kick- & dodgeball, a Chevette, Circe, a prosthetic chin, antebellum atria, zombie politicians, chemical runoff, brown-bag lunches, gangsters, chicken sex, merwolverines, Cthulhoid dill pickles, curdled poutine, buffalo nickels, Styrofoam, tallowed fries, hamster coffins, astonishing acts, nipples, riots, Versace graffiti, spasms, Jell-O shots, M-16 carbines, the musical head of Walt Disney, Benzedrine, gold lamé briefs, a cyborg centaur, ululating hounds, anthropomorphized cities, a Boeing ergonomist, tramp stamps, stroked foreheads, wyrms, badgers, crocodile tears, a Hail Mary, moustaches, armadillos, Zion National Park, rhythmic gymnastics, lepidopteran robots, reluctant heroines, Bud Selig, Ducatis, duende, Keebler Elves, inmate foodies, biometric scans, cross-species embryos, mummified Anasazis, magma pools, ukuleles, grizzlies, loiny carpaccio, pentagonal marmalade skies, & much, much more… Location:

Hello Forum,
I am selling my Dee Zee 8537B tool chest. I am buying a hard tonneau. If not for that I would keep it. Look at the pics for more info & so you can have an idea as to how I installed it. I paid $300 last November, I believe. I am asking for $200. You pay shipping or maybe we can meet halfway. Let me know if you have any questions. Here are the specs:
Color : Black-Tread
Part # : DZ 8537B
Volume : 6.4 Cubic Feet
Length : 37.125"
Width 1 : 19",
Width 2 : 2.4"
Height 1 : 15.9",
Height 2 : 13.1"
Here are the pics:
This pic shows how it is bolted down on the inside:
I installed these washers on the handles because the bolts are round but the slots are rectangular so I wanted to eliminate the risk of water going in.
I removed the plastic DEE ZEE sign so I installed these nuts/bolts so that the holes don't let water in.
After doing all of this I noticed a flaw in this corner so I had to silicone a tiny hole there. It was too late for me to return it since I already did everything else.
For added security against water I also drilled one small hole in each corner.
BTW, The tool tray is included also & it is flawless since I never used it.

Not everyone can read my writing, it is of a different script.
Do not think my substance sand: it is a crag of solid rock.
As like a torrent that never dries, do not try to wear it down!
- Sayat-Nova
Among Stalin's notable attributes, apart from the logistics of making 30,000 disappear over twenty years, was his advanced taste in cinema. He liked montages of grinning peasants swinging scythes and walking rhythmically forward before threshing machines, and this was what the USSR now needed, its policy architects concluded, not avant-garde Constructivist weirdness. Experimentation was decadent, dangerous, and no longer an acceptable form of self-expression. Artistic "elitism" was discouraged. All films would promote Socialist Realism (not to be confused with Social Realism) and celebrate the worker's state. The change was compounded by the introduction of sound, which upended the Soviet movie industry. It has been argued that sound was the start of American cultural hegemony, an invention meant to control the direction of the international marketplace under the guise of innovation. Essentially, if foreign markets wanted access to imports, they would have to meet U.S. technical standards for film production and projection. For some, this was a cost-prohibitive transition, and it impacted Soviet exports horribly. The revolutionary momentum slipped away, replaced by intransigence and paranoia. Soviet film would not fully recover until after Stalin's death, when the reigns on creativity were loosened by Khrushchev during the "Great Thaw" period.
In 1956, Khrushchev threw Stalin's legacy under the bus and exposed his crimes to the world. It was a historic moment for Russian artists and ushered in an era of renewed artistic liberty that, sadly, would not last long. Nevertheless, while the window presented itself, several legendary filmmakers emerged. Key among them was Sergei Parajanov, whose Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, released in 1965, was shockingly provincial for its use of Ukrainian dialects and regional customs completely alien to many urban Muscovites. It was a big international hit both at home and abroad and allowed Parajanov the freedom for a larger budget for his next film, shot in 1966 and intended to be a biographical movie about the life of famed 16th-century Armenian poet Sayat-Nova, who wrote in multiple languages (Armenian, Georgian, and Azerbaijani) and was viewed by the Soviet authorities as a classic role model for the bringing together of different cultures.
Although they had approved the script with some reservations, the Soviets were still expecting a relatively linear narrative along the same lines of his earlier work. What they got was unlike anything ever created before in the history of cinema, a montage of meticulously staged and choreographed shots, entirely lacking in traditional narrative. In essence, a "film poem" whose fractured construction and odd pacing attempted to reflect the aesthetic of its subject. Even more strange and disorienting, the great Georgian actress Sofiko Chiaureli played no less than five parts in the film, handling both male and female roles. Aghast and confused at what they expected to be a biopic, the studio cut the film various ways to try and make it more decipherable to audiences, with little success. They thought the title The Color of Pomegranates less confusing than Sayat-Nova, which it really wasn't. They tried changing the structure, which made it worse. International audiences did not know what to do with it since the scenes themselves were allusions to aspects of Sayat-Nova's work with which they generally had no familiarity. One suspects that this confusion was fine with Parajanov, who shared Andrei Tarkovsky's spiritual sense of magic and wonder, unafraid of slowness and atmospheres of melancholic contemplation. He would later be jailed for refusing to stay in line with state policies, and only under pressure from international directors did the Soviets release him. Staying loyal to his Georgian cultural heritage, he continued making films until his death in 1990.

Milton S. Hershey
Milton Snavely Hershey (September 13, 1857 – October 13, 1945) was an American confectioner, philanthropist, and the founder of the Hershey's candy company.
Hershey was born on September 13, 1857 in Derry Township, Pennsylvania.[1]
In 1887, Hershey created the Lancaster Caramel Company. He created many kinds of caramels. He began experimenting with chocolates at the Chicago World's Fair.[2]
On March 2, 1903, he began construction on what was to become the world's largest chocolate manufacturing company, only he didn't know that it would become a large company. In 1935, Hershey established the M.S. Hershey Foundation, a private charitable foundation that provides educational and cultural opportunities for Hershey residents.
Hershey supplied the U.S. armed forces with chocolate bars during World War II. These bars were called Ration D Bars and Tropical Chocolate Bars.
Hershey has been married to Catherine Sweeney from 1871 until her death in 1915. In 1912 Hershey was to go on the RMS Titanic, but couldn't go[3] because his wife was sick at the time. Sweeney died three years later.
Hershey died on October 13, 1945 from natural causes in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a town named after him, aged 88 years old.

The star stuck to her signature classic, cool California girl style, rocking a pair of denim shorts and a tee — but it was very obvious that she wasn't wearing a bra!
Jennifer Aniston is both braless and flawless while walking to the set of her upcoming flick, Squirrels For The Nuts, in NYC. The 44-year-old actress was spotted wearing nothing under her v-neck when she stepped out on July 23 — and although it was evident that she wasn't wearing a bra she still looked great! What do you think of her work attire?
Jennifer Aniston Braless On Set:
It looks like Jen is trying to beat the New York heat today as she wears a fedora and some shades, looking cool despite the sizzling temperatures. The engaged actress was spotted walking to the set for her upcoming movie Squirrels For The Nuts in jean shorts and a purple tee. The look allowed the star to flaunt her flawless figure. Although the gorgeous a-lister recently raised some eyebrows as she stepped out in more loose fitting clothes amid pregnancy rumors, she definitely proved that she had nothing to hide underneath this casual cool ensemble.
This isn't the first time the Horrible Bosses star has ditched her undergarments in public Jen seems to love going braless — and in this scorching heat, can we really blame her? Hey, she certainly pulls it off!
Bar or no bra, she still looks great! What do YOU guys think? Do you think it's appropriate when stars ditch their support for comfort? Let us know what you think and don't forget to VOTE!

Lots of women are going bra-less these days.
I wish I could, but I inherited a set of 38 double D's from my dad's side of the family.Plus I've given birth and breast fed 2 babies over the years.
The girls don't sit up like hey used to, so going bra-less for me in public, is out of the question.
If you can do it more power to you.
I can only do it in-doors though.

Editor's note: 2012 was my first full calendar year as a staff member of the Times-Record, and what a year it was. Barnes County saw championships on both the state and national levels, and even the teams that fell just short gave fans a heck of a ride. Although there were too many sports stories to choose from, I worked with other members of the editorial staff to choose this list of 10 biggest happenings in local sports from the last year. With any abbreiviated list, there is sure to be a bit of disagreement.
Preschool children today are surrounded by violence. Much of the violence that children are exposed to is through television and other screen time. According to data from the Nielson Company, pre-schoolers ages two to five spend 32.5 hours a week in front of the television, watching TV, watching shows recorded by DVR, watching DVDs or playing video games.

Re: Making a living as a liveaboard
It was suggested by a friend; that If I were to retire and cruise, I could, consult, service, and help owners with HVACR. Since that is what I know and do best.
Well, I'm retired... sort of LOL
I'm still All around epa certified HVACR tech and former full service contractor. (let the last full time employee go over 8 yrs ago)
Boat, like domestic (home refrigerators) AC/fridges/ reverse cycle are really A PITA.
Don't think I want the aggravation of boat owners screaming at me in 90-110 heat because beer is warm, or ice cream is melting... Boating should be fun right?
If I had refrigerants on my boat with associated equipment someone would be sure to steal it. especially R-12 Then there's 22, R134, 404A, 409, 410A,and a few others LOL
Then, there's the guarded and somewhat hostile " Approved; yard employed or associated" contractors. (20%) is the usual cut. That would be a difficult thing to get past in most places.
And, since most if not all people needing HVACR help won't know me or my real qualifications, they wouldn't hire me anyway.
Imagine ( I go to sleep early) getting boarded by a few tipsy sailors saying; "oh Denise won't mind if we borrow her vacuum pump and gauges" Then I hear 30lbs of 134 hi$$ing out the can as it goes overboard "oh look she has R-12 too! HEY! DENISE YOU SLEEPING???"
So.... No! I don't think I could work and live aboard!
Nope.. not another day in paradise found!
