40 Years Ago: David Bowie Releases 'Diamond Dogs'
David Bowie entered 1974 as one of the world's biggest rock stars. He was still flying high on the breakthrough success of the 'Ziggy Stardust' character, whose image had become so famous that it wound up gracing the cover of the singer's eighth album, 'Diamond Dogs,' which was released on April 24, 1974.
The strange aspect about the return of Ziggy is that Bowie had famously retired him nearly a year earlier, during the last show of the tour in support of the follow-up, 'Aladdin Sane.' So, after the late-1973′s covers LP, 'Pin-Ups,' Bowie laid off the Spiders from Mars and proceeded to hire session musicians to back him on 'Diamond Dogs.'
The sessions were spread over several months and studios in and around London, before culminating in a final mix at producer Tony Visconti's newly built personal studio. Since producing and playing bass on 1970's 'The Man Who Sold the World,' Visconti had been busy overseeing Marc Bolan's classic glam LPs, so this reunion proved both timely and momentous in seeing Bowie's next crucial career transition through.
Bowie had been planning to build a full-fledged concept album around George Orwell's dystopian classic, '1984,' 10 years before the fateful date. But when the author's estate refused to grant him their blessing, David was forced to scale back on overt references to the novel, and rework the material to mesh with other, unrelated song ideas and make sense of it all, somehow.
As a result, 'Diamond Dogs' became a complex affair, both musically and lyrically, which quickly moved on from the apocalyptic prophecies intoned on the introductory mood piece, 'Future Legend,' into the title track's more familiar arena glam aesthetic (backed by faux concert sounds) and the dramatic cabaret balladry of 'Sweet Thing' (beautifully garnished by Mike Garson's piano).
However, the ensuing 'Candidate' didn't pack that typical, finely crafted Bowie touch and, when followed by an elegiac reprise of 'Sweet Thing,' felt like a poorly finished concept album remnant (which is precisely what it was). In that regard, it previewed other '1984'-inspired leftovers stuffed onto 'Diamond Dogs'' second half. Flourishes of infectious creativity were often weighed down by dark, overwrought words, which were made all the more confusing for being untethered from the initial source material.
Luckily, Bowie's formidable pop instincts ensured that these ebbs were invariably countered by undeniable crests — namely via the unusually direct love letter to his adoring fans, 'Rock 'n' Roll With Me,' and the gloriously raw career landmark, 'Rebel Rebel,' which built the bridge between glam and the not-yet born British punk movement in four-and-a-half perfectly imperfect minutes.
All this being said, not even artistic triumph, chart-dominating singles and impressive album sales (No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 5 in the U.S.) could mask Bowie's ongoing growing pains on 'Diamond Dogs.' This is why, with decades of hindsight, 'Diamond Dogs' now seems more like the gateway from the Ziggy Stardust era to his Thin White Duke blue-eyed-soul period, and beyond.

Someone has been spoiled by John Fox. This wasn't going to fixed in two years, only an idiot would think so. With all the injuries the Panthers have suffered this year, it's a wonder that they even won 7 games.
Also last year the Panthers weren't even in a lot of games, this year at least the Panthers were in all but two of their games. They finally learned how to win those close games at the end of the season.
Better answer is Hurney poorly constructed this team to sustain injuries (and in general).

The Gin Tin is a common term used to describe an early model ford or commodore, for example (EA EB) or (VN VP) due to their strong appeal to indigenous australians, the trend was set in western nsw by indigenous p platers who cruise the streets with a car load of mates and think they drive the hottest car out there and today is still the weapon of choice for lower class country citizens, bogans etc. These cars usually have damage, wheels with missing hub caps and body panels that dont match .

PNCA Announces 2009 President's Award Winners
Each year, PNCA President Tom Manley selects two PNCA students from the annual BFA Juried Exhibition to receive awards. This year, President Manley awarded Brooke Eastburn with a 2009 President's Award and Jeremy Le Grand with a 2009 President's Award Honorable Mention.
Photography major Brooke Eastburn '09 was the recipient of the President's Award for her three video pieces: "Art21Mockumentary: Beastburn," "Invocation," and "Sea Journey."
"I am interested in exploring the binary oppositions between the appropriate and inappropriate, art and pornography, morality and perversity," Eastburn related in an artist's statement. "By embracing the abject, I force my viewers to confront their own cultural fears."
Intermedia major Jeremy Le Grand '09 received the Honorable Mention for his piece "Untitled," featuring cut and stacked digital prints.
"This work is about translating the physicality of the subject into its visual representation. By making the image embody the tactile characteristics of the jungle it depicts I am attempting to collapse the space between subject and object, allowing the viewer to occupy the indeterminate space between illusion and reality."

Feldman Gallery Presents Black Market Type & Print Shop
Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) presents Black Market Type & Print Shop, an exhibit of a collection of 30 type-fonts extracted from the artwork of well-known artists that can be used by gallery visitors for art of their own making, organized by curator Joseph del Pesco.
Black Market Type & Print Shop features 30 different hand-drawn type samples, appropriated from exhibition catalogues and artist publications that feature the work of an array of renown contemporary artists.
The exhibition encourages the use of this typographic archive through a computer and photocopier, which will be available for gallery visitors to create their own work. The result: an interactive production environment or "print shop," outputting a range of distributed media, from concert flyers to lost pet announcements, garage sale notices and other street-post ephemera. The featured type sets were created without the permission of the artists, and their use is limited to the exhibition and for non-commercial use only.
The Black Market Type & Print Shop was recently presented at Articule, an artist-run centre in Montréal and featured posters, using the type archive, by a range of artists including Portland-based Brad Adkins and Harrell Fletcher. The PNCA exhibition will include a new group of 15 artists working with the type archive, including Anne Walsh, Germaine Koh, Matt Keegan, and Arnold Kemp.
Joseph del Pesco is a contemporary art curator and curator-at-large for Artists Space, New York. He holds a master's degree in curatorial practice from the California Colelge of the Arts in San Francisco and has curated exhibitions internationally. He's also a contributor to various periodical publications including Proximity (Chicago), NUKE (Paris), Flash Art (Milan) and X-Tra (Los Angeles). Del Pesco lives in Oakland, California.

Was not sure at first.....
I imagined a different type shirt and was somewhat surprised when it arrived (mostly because I was not paying attention to the description). Overall, once it arrived and I paired it with some cute boyfriend jeans, I was pleasantly pleased with it. This shirt makes for a very nice relaxed top in which you can dress up or down.

Basic T
I wish the length was longer otherwise it's a nice basic. Material is a high quality thickness.

lOVE THIS TOP
i ORDERED THIS TOP IN 3 COLORS. I DID GO UP A SIZE.
July 26, 2013
Pretty in Turquoise
I love this t-shirt! Purchased the turquoise...get compliments every time I wear it. The only problem is the fit in the shoulders is short. I'm 5'6" 130 lbs and I purchased a size medium...the sleeves are fine and overall fit is good but the fit from neck to shoulder is short.
June 18, 2013
Don't do it!
Bought this shirt online, but if I had seen it in the store, would not have given it a second look. Quality of the material is nothing like what I have come to expect from The Limited. Material is the same as a cheap, ribbed, tank top. Fit is terrible. Hugs all the wrong curves. 3/4 sleeves are nice.
June 14, 2013
Nice shirt
This shirt is simple and a good staple for any wardrobe. I love the color and fit. The price was right (on sale) and I felt it was a bargain.
June 14, 2013

Great fit and super comfy! Will wear it with a pair of jeans and a casual suit!

Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Rating: Love this BC!Looking for a new BCD, XL womens style, recreational diving- I have always had a womens style and like the ability to fit a womans body.
The majority of lady''s bcds are usually manufactured up through size large only. Your best bet would be to look at the sizing charts for each bcd and compare your waist and chest sizing to the chart given for the bcds. The waist is generally the most important measurement as you want the item to fit securly around your waist so that it doesn''t slip and shift during your dives.
Is it possible to get the zena with custom size, S size for shoulder and M size for the waist? Is there any additional charge for it?
I am a female diver, 55", 140 lbs, 28" waist, but a 39" bust... Am looking for a light travel BCD that would fit well for someone with my proportions. Thanks for any help.
How does the Mini-Ripcord Weight System work? Ive read some reviews that complain it makes getting back on the boat difficult.
Hi, I have a Zeagle Zena (purchased a month ago) in medium. I a, wanting to buy small shoulder section. Can you advise where I can order. I would need it sent to Australia, our dealer has recently stopped stocking. Appreciate your help. Regards, Kate
Are there any BCs for women that do not include an integrated weight system?
Hello Jim, here is the BCD that you are looking for without weight integrations: XS Scuba Companion BC http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-3/006071/XS-Scuba-Companion-Scuba-BC.html. This would be a uni-sex sizing.
Hi. I was wondering how does the size fit. I usually use extra small in other bc´s, so I´m afraid that this one won´t fit me. Maybe a tip I could use to get the right size?
BC for Women - Independent waist and hip bands give better balance and comfort
The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower center of buoyancy compared to men. So conventional buoyancy systems,which would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be worn higher, around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure. The Zena's twin waist and hip band system provides a way for women to securely position the weights and buoyancy below waist level, around the body's center of buoyancy.
All of Zeagle's buoyancy systems are available with women's sizing options and can be adjusted to provide excellent fit and functionality for women divers.
The Zena BC, however, has been designed by women as a buoyancy system specifically for women. The twin straps adjust to fit waist and hips independently, while the elastic front panels provide outstanding fit and comfort. Zeagles patented PFS sizing system allows for the waist size, chest size, and torso length to be independently fitted. The Zena is designed to be fitted with the upper waistband at the natural waist, placing the weights and buoyancy low, around the body's center of buoyancy.
The Zena closes in the front with a heavy-duty zipper for a snug and secure, yet non-restrictive fit. A Ripcord release weight system is standard.
Elastic front panels with zipper closure for a comfortable, secure fit and a streamlined profile
Dual waistbands allow weights to be positioned below waist level for superior comfort and balance.
Component sizing fits waist, torso length, and chest size independently
31-lb capacity bladder
30-lb capacity Ripcord weight system
16-lb capacity rear mount weight system
Expandable mesh 'Quick Pocket' at waist
4 Stainless D-Rings
Dry Weight: 6.2lbs
The front panel standard colors are Grape, Blue, Neon Yellow, Neon Pink, Black, Floral White, Floral Pink, and Floral Blue.
For additional full size pictures of the colored front panels please click here
Custom Sizing Available
Fit to waist size so upper band is secure around waist: Front Panel Size*
Fit to Chest/ Bust Size: Shoulder
Fit to torso length, size so upper waist band is at natural waist.
Are Zeagle BC's worn differently?
Yes. Because of the uniqueness of the design, the Zeagle System will fit quite differently from a conventional BC. The waistband will be lower, well below the diaphragm (so it won't restrict your breathing), the front of the BC is open, reducing restrictions further, and the buoyancy is low down on the back and sides, where it can expand outward without compressing your chest. The result is greater comfort and a more balanced attitude in the water.
Why do you put the weights in the BC?
Including the weights as part of the buoyancy system improves balance and comfort in the water- it keeps your body from being pulled in different directions by the opposing forces of lift and weights. All Zeagle BC's since 1982 have been designed to be weight integrated.
How do you drop the weights in an emergency?
Zeagle's patented Ripcord system allows for a single point instantaneous release of the weights from almost any position in the water. When compared to a weightbelt release or the two handed systems used on many other weight integrated BC's the Ripcord is far simpler and more reliable. Some BC's offer a more economical pull out system that requires a two sided release to drop all the weights.
Isn't it too heavy to lift?
In most circumstances we recommend that the diver put on their BC first, then place the weights in the weight pockets. This avoids having to lift the entire scuba system and weights together.
What's the Personal Fit System?
People come in more than five sizes- the Personal Fit System is a system of interchangeable components that allows your Zeagle dealer to custom fit a buoyancy system to your body and your style of diving. In addition to fitting waist size, chest size, and torso length independently, we can adjust the style of various components and the amount of lift in the buoyancy system to match the type of diving you do.
Do you make BC's for women?
Zeagle's Personal Fit System was designed with women in mind. It's very common for women to fit a size smaller in the shoulder section of a Zeagle BC than they fit in the waist size- a medium waist with small shoulders, for example. On our heavy duty BC's we offer narrower women's shoulder sections with smaller buckles that will fit women's upper bodies better. Of course the advantages of weight integration and doing away with the weightbelt are often even greater for women than for men. The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower center of buoyancy compared to men. So conventional buoyancy systems,which would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be worn higher, around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure. Zeagle has two BC models specifically designed with these considerations in mind; - The Zena is an extremely light and comfortable BC, ideally suited for warmer water diving. It is designed and constructed to be worn over a bathing suit or light warm water suit. The Zena's twin waist and hip band system provides a way for women to securely position the weights and buoyancy below waist level, around the body's center of buoyancy. - The LaZer is a heavier-duty BC with the same ideal fit for a woman's body shape. It is still considered to be a travel BC and can be worn over a bathing suit, but it is also made to be worn over a wetsuit or drysuit that might be needed in local diving conditions. It has all the features of the very popular Stiletto BC, but with a vest that is scooped at the rear to comfortably accommodate a shorter torso and wider hips than a Stiletto.
Will it float you face down?
Zeagle BCs are designed to fit low on the body so the lift is positioned near the body's center of buoyancy. This results in a very neutral surface flotation, leaving the diver free to assume any position in the water. Many non-Zeagle rear flotation BC's fit high on the chest, the same way most nonintegrated jacket style BC's fit. In addition to being less comfortable, this volume of lift high on the back can cause the diver to be rotated forward when attempting to stay upright on the surface.
Can I wear a weightbelt with a Zeagle?
It isn't necessary, and it adds bulk and weight.
Which BC is best for me?
Zeagle makes buoyancy systems for everyone– from the occasional vacation diver to the most professional Search and Recovery divers. Your dealer can help you select a system and appropriate accessories based on you size, experience, diving environment, the kind of diving you do, and the kind of diving you want to do in the future.
What about construction and warranty?
All Zeagle Buoyancy Systems are hand sewn from the best available materials and heavily reinforced at all stress points. Our style of construction is labor intensive and expensive, but it results in a more durable, better fitting BC. Individual components of the system are replaceable or repairable if damaged. This quality of construction makes it possible for us to offer a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. If a defect appears or the system fails at any time while you own it, Zeagle will repair or replace the system free of charge.
For full details on product warranty please click here.
Where can I get user's guides for Zeagle Products?
We have available downloadable versions of product owner's manuals. These are in PDF format, which is a file format that can be viewed and printed from virtually any computer platform. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader (necessary to view the files) it can be downloaded free of charge here.
Your BC is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship. This guarantee does not cover damages from accident, abuse, neglect, alterations, improper usage, normal wear & tear or failure to provide reasonable care. To validate your warranty you must fill out and return your warranty registration by regular mail or e-mail, within 30 days of purchase. All warranty claims will be handled through Zeagle, or an authorized Zeagle Dealer.
here is the serial number on my BC?
In 2009 we began serializing the bladder assembly of our BCs. To find the serial number look at the left side (your right if you were wearing the BC) in between the vest and bladder. Roughly where the top tank band is inserted into the vest you should see a 1.5' long white tag with the serial number stamped onto it. If you do not see this tag you can select 'My product does not have a serial number' when registering your BC.
How can I set my BC up for Twin Cylinders?
All Zeagle Heavy-Duty Ballistic BCs (Ranger, Ranger LTD, Tech, 911, SAR) as well as backplate systems, can be used with twin tanks. The easiest method is to use the Twin Cylinder Mounting Plates. Click here for a page that shows how.

Water Fight Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Free Republic 2nd Quarter Fundraising Target: $88,000 | Receipts & Pledges to-date: $41,007 | |||
| ||||
Woo hoo!! And the first 46% is in!! Thank you all very much!! |
Posted on 10/04/2013 10:17:32 AM PDT by onyx
Jim's surgery was a grand success! Praise God! Thank you Lord and thank you ALL for your prayers!
Please continue to pray for Jim's rapid recovery and complete healing!
We need and want him back with us ASAP!
Howdy everyone! Checking in! All is well.~Jim @ 10/4/2013 11:41:12 AM
God bless you, dearest Jim! Our faithful prayers will continue. We know it can't be easy to lose your remaining leg, and I know I can't begin to imagine the pain you went through in your battle to save your leg, but I know that you fought hard until it was impossible to save, and that our good Lord actually guided your decision. Now we are praying that your recovery will be very quick and that your body will be the healthiest it's ever been! Lord, please hear and answer our prayers, again.
Our FReepathon is off to a great start with 30 Donations of $100 or more and 11 New Monthly Donors, including 2 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.
Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge with my $100 donation to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!
It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.
If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign is off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 5 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck, "somebody" Tijeras_Slim again and OwenKellog, for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All 5 FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"
Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!
In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can spend as much time as he needs to recover now that he's had his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim in his own room tonight, we might see him here again too!
We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away! Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!
Please click the graphic above to donate by secure server or by mail to:
Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
Thank you all so very much!!
Thank you all so very much for your prayers for Jim.
Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.
Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John, and his & our good friends visiting him in our place, like Syncro, who's passing on all the great updates!
Lord, hear our prayers.
May God continue to richly bless Jim and all good Conservatives.
Thanks for the update. We are continuing to pray.
Good new—Praise God! I was just wondering how things went. Thank you!
I was just wondering this morning how things went. Looks like the prayers helped for sure. But they will continue so we can get Jim back to doing what he does best.
Thanks for the update - God bless you and your family!
We will continue to pray for you.
Made my day!!! PRAISE GOD!
Best news I've read ALL day BUMP!
Jim, I have been meaning to tell you this..
You are not alone! I know the power of that statement and suspect you recognize it. You know what? Free Republic helps me realize I am not alone either. .
Can we please bang this one out quickly?

Incredible, isn't it?
I don't think many people realized that we could have such a tyrant in the White House.
Oh, no. He didn't.
I suppose that gives us permission to disrespect him because he thinks he deserves to get something for doing his job as well.
Whoever writes his speeches is as big a daft moron as he is.
Wanker. Cottage cheese brains.

LOL! Cottage cheese brains attract zombies.
Yes! Praise God!
Thank you, Lord Jesus!
He's so arrogant he doesn't realize that he's a moron. He can barely put a sentence together without a teleprompter.
They were being inclusive. They didn't a second time. That was fraud.
That's it!
Absolutely not alone. And l believe that with all my heart. Praise God.
There was probably fraud both times, but likely more in 2012. There was also intimidation.

Screw 2: Cut To The Chase, Scene #02
Screw 2: Cut To The Chase, Scene #02
Hot House Video
Zachary Pierce, the hot boy in coat check you always wanted to fuck, hops over the counter and grabs Tag Adams after he forgets to tip him. Tag immediately invites him to work on his dick for a tip. Zachary shows off some expert cocksmanship as he slobbers up and down on Tag's cock; but he also has a big surprise in store for the cocky club kid. Bending Tag over, he buries his face into Tag's pink hole in preparation for his nine-inch Italian dick that promptly gets stuck up Tag's waiting fuck chute. This is the kind of screw you always dream about: old-fashioned, fast-slamming, no-mercy butt-slaying. Then Zachary does the unthinkable and uses Tag's mouth for some unbelievably filthy ass-to-mouth action! He pulls his cock out of Tag's hole and sticks it straight into Tag's hungry mouth. Tag is only too happy to eat the meat that's dripping with his own butt juice. Then he dunks it back into Tag's ass to coat it again before plunging it right into the back of his tonsils. Hey! Don't cum just yet...you've got four more scorching scenes to get through first!

If there's one thing nearly every guitar aficionado loves to do, it's talk about their favorite Gibson guitar. This is simply because Gibson has long set the standard for what an electric guitar should be, as well as what an electric guitar can be. Founded in 1902, Gibson has been ahead of the pack since the get-go, and they continue to push forward their designs as well as the technology behind building absolutely stunning guitars. A quick look at some Gibson achievements is enough to understand why they are such a revered name in the music world. Gibson invented the archtop guitar, they also were responsible for the production of the first commercially produced hollow-body electric guitar. These were both major milestones in music, and Gibson made them happen. Gibson's status and second-to-none quality has kept them at the forefront of music, and their guitars are played by some of the world's most beloved performers. From legends like Chuck Berry, Marc Bolan, B.B. King, Dave Davies, Slash, Angus Young, The Edge, Johnny Thunders, Ace Frehley and Jimmy Page, to modern rockers such as Billie Joe Armstrong and Dave Grohl, the best musicians in the world all trust their sound to Gibson.
Gibson offers an incredible line of guitars for players of all skill levels and styles. Whatever you're in the market for, you'll have no trouble finding it here. Are you looking to perform some serious classic rock? Then you'll definitely love the ES-335 Dot Plain-top Electric Guitar or 2014 Les Paul Signature Electric Guitar. Maybe you're more interested shaking the joint all night long with some serious riff rock? Then strap into the 2014 SG Standard Electric Guitar or the 2014 Firebird. Or are you more of roots rocker or folk fan? Try strumming the Hummingbird Pro Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar. It honestly doesn't matter which Gibson you choose, you're going to be playing an instrument that is truly special.
Gibson's past is full of wonderful history and rich achievements, while its future remains bright. With an incredible legacy and flawless reputation, there are few others than can even hold a candle to them. Whether you're a first time player just learning the ropes, or a veteran touring professional, there is no better option for you than a Gibson.

No, but the whinging & conspiracy theories about why the rules aren't being rewritten and bent on the fly to give her a second GP are certainly being done by Osmond fans. They were only equalled by whinging from fans that wanted Mirai Nagasu at a second GP.
Not to mention Misha Ge fans.
Mirai can still make it, right? Get second at NHK with a huge score?
Now, see, if the Japanese Federation was really smart they would invite Osmond at the last minute and let her get third. That would knock out Tuktamishiva and give Asada and Suzuki a better chance to win the GP final.
I know. But wallylutz said Osmond could "beat every single American woman out there".
I guess wallylutz is wrong.
Oh, this conversation is getting ridiculous.
Would I like to see Osmond with a second GP? Yes. She's clearly ready for it. I don't know how well she'd perform, of course, but given that she's had two victories back to back, posted relatively decent scores at both, and in general is a bright talent with a flair for performing, I don't think it's the worst idea in the history of the universe.
Did Osmond earn a second GP? No. The only skaters that "earn" two GPs are those that were top ten at Worlds. She wasn't. And while her skates this season have been worthy of praise, that's not what determines GP selection.
Mathman, I'd be interested in how much money the ISU saved by cutting two singles skaters (four in total) and two dance teams from each GP event. I'd suggest that investing in a solid competition circuit promotes the sport and makes money in the long term.
The ISU cut back on the number of judges (from 14 to 9) a couple of years ago so they wouldn't have to pay hotels and meals for so many. They reduced the prize money for ISU championships substantially (and I believe that they no longer give the prize money for the best season any more?). I don't think any of the Grand Prix events makes money, except NHK. For Skate America, it is a struggle each year to find a city and local club willing to put it on. At 2009 Skate America the ISU threatened to withhold the promised financial support because they felt that the USFSA hadn't worked hard enough to line up a satisfactory television contract for the Olympic season.
Overall, I have the impression that the ISU cannot invest in a solid competition circuit because they have nothing to invest. Plus, there is little prospect of reviving interest in skating anyway.
Right, and I can see how all those cuts save money. I maintain my above interest, regardless.

But the bouncing patting shushing -- the sleeping infant whose eyes sproing open as soon as her body touches crib -- even the sound of the overtired cry -- it's the exact same.
When M took L for her check-up last week I had him ask the pediatrician, too, to compare L's stats at this age with E's. L feels so different in my arms. E as a baby felt little, but so dense, like some extra-planetary material capable of absorbing extra gravity. L feels like a silk worm, all long and fluid. (True confession: I have no idea what a silk worm looks like, nor have I bothered to find out. She feels like a silk worm of my mind, okay?) I was curious to know how their respective measurements compare. My silk worm and my moon rock are the same. L is only an inch longer, and only 4 ounces lighter, than E at eight months. Head diameter: 4 millimeters bigger. The inch means nothing, because E kicked so terribly at all of her infant appointments that all lengths recorded were estimated. The ounces: negligible enough to be the difference between daily peeing schedules as interrupted by cold white scale. And 4 millimeters: accountable by L's actual ability to grow hair. Essentially, they're the same baby shape, my moon rock and exotic larva.
The hair. There is a difference. L has some. E was bald until forever. She's still never had a haircut. Maybe the girls will share First Haircut Day together. That will probably make them happy, and since we break out the video camera so infrequently, there will be so much less pressure on us. Also, although it's too early to tell definitively, I think L's hair will be straight like mine, while E's has loose waves like her Daddy's. As an infant E's nubbin hairlets angled in all different directions. L's are unidirectional. Also I think L's hair will be thick like her Daddy's, while E's is thus far very fine like mine. With their similar faces, perhaps it will be their very different hair that will set them apart.
Hair was what made me first marvel over their similar takeaways from the genetic roulette wheel. In the tiny peach fuzz hairs across their foreheads, the invisible unmeasureable goosedown, they have the same whorl above their left eyebrows. I love to stare at E's when it catches the sunlight, to trace its pattern with my not-blue eyes. When L was born and I saw her whorl, the same whorl, that's the part in the birth story where I gasped out loud.
And they have the same fourth toe. E, L, how did you possibly end up with that toe? When you read this years from now, please don't envy my perfectly straight normal toes. We love you just the way you are. Go make Daddy take off his socks and talk to him about this. And remember the power of cute shoes.
Their ears angle differently, as do their noses, but that difference thus far is more subtle. Their big eyes are a feature of mine, but they get the beautiful gray tone to their blue from their Daddy; mine are more greeny-blue, or yellowy-blue, if that's allowed as a choice. On both of them, their lips are all mine and their calf muscles are exact copies of M's. E's hair is a little redder, L's a little darker. They were both born with hemangiomas: E's on the back of her left knee, L's by her left nipple. Both are fading and will exist only in my mind. Their personalities: looking pretty different, but both love a reason to giggle.
E crawled back out of her bed three times tonight after bedtime. I finally got her close to sleep by snuggling with her for a few minutes in her big, comfy bed. I thought she was asleep when she startled me by whispering. Mama? What, love? I asked. Mama? Sometimes? Sometimes our eyes have trouble staying closed. And sometimes we have to close them for them but sometimes they open again. Because sometimes they have trouble STAYING all the way closed like that.
That they also share.

How to create a dress code policy without getting sued
Blog Entry:
May 14, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: STEFANIE L. BAKER
Stefanie L. Baker
Stefanie Baker is an associate in the Cleveland office of Fisher & Phillips, where she practices in all areas of labor and employment law, primarily focusing on employment litigation.
Can you restrict dress and grooming standards in your workplace? Can you further curb the limits of employee self-expression in the form of tattoos, piercings, jewelry, and hairstyles at work without getting sued?
Yes, employers have a lot of control over the dress and appearance of their employees. The key, however, is to carefully draft and consistently enforce a reasonable dress code and/or grooming policy.
Although there is no legal requirement for a dress or appearance policy, employers design dress code and grooming policies to provide employees with notice of reasonable expectations in the workplace. Employers should be mindful of potential pitfalls of these policies, including claims for gender, religion, national origin, race, and disability discrimination claims.
Your company's policy should focus on justifiable business reasons that do not have a disproportionate effect on particular segments of the workforce, especially those in a protected category. You should consider the requirements of the job, your workplace environment, and employee contact with customers and/or the public when drafting a dress code.
Grooming standards are often an important part of any dress code, and concerns about health, hygiene, or safety often prompt policies addressing hair and beard length, jewelry wearing, and body "art" or tattoos. Similar to dress code policies, grooming rules can also conflict with anti-discrimination laws. You should weigh the benefits of grooming standards against the effects such a policy will have on employee morale. Demanding that male employees be clean-shaven, for example, might offend men who practice religions that prohibit cutting their hair or shaving their beards.
Here are some helpful tips when drafting a dress code and/or grooming policy for your employees:
The Do's and Don'ts of Dress Code Policies:
• Do communicate the policy and expectations clearly to your employees.
• Don't set dress and grooming codes that have radically different standards for men and women.
• Do use multiple avenues of communication, such as an acknowledgement form, email, company intranet, and meetings to make sure employees know about the policy.
• Don't use terms such as "appropriate" or "professional" in describing acceptable attire because individuals have different understandings of what these words mean.
• Do make exceptions for attire or grooming directly related to religion, ethnicity or disabilities.
• Don't base your policy on personal preferences.
• Do enforce your policy consistently and uniformly.
• Do consider the practice in your area and industry and the possible impact to public perception within the local business community.
If your company does not currently have a written dress code, perhaps now is the time to put one in place, especially with summer coming. If your company currently has a written dress code, are you prepared to live with the guidelines? If not, should your dress code be revisited? Personal appearance is a sensitive topic for most people and employers don't want to embarrass or offend their employees. Therefore, remember to review your policy often and enforce your policy uniformly and consistently.

Started taking on 8/20/12 as of today 8/31/12 I have not lost a pound (following "sugested use" exactly) . I exercise 6 times per week for a minimum of 2 hours and I have modified my diet to follow a no sugar or white diet. Sorry to say its not working. I was really hoping to be able to post a positive review. :-(
Product was received and taken per the instructions. I'm not a bad eater as it is, but this product did not help me lose anything. Rated fair because I don't know if it's just my over 50 situation that that is keeping me stagnant or what, but the product didn't do anything for me.
I took the product for over a month, as instructed, and I did not lose 1 pound. Maybe the product is good for something but don't count on weight loss.
I purchased the product after seeing Dr. Oz. So far, I love it! I have lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks without modifying my diet too much. I would recommend to everyone.
On the Dr. Oz show, he said there were no side effects. But after I started taking them, I experienced severe leg and foot cramps at night. I continued taking them for a week but got no better. When I quit taking them, the leg cramps lessened and then disappeared. I might take them again just to see if I have leg cramps again but at this time, I would not recommend them to anyone.
not the same product I purchased in the past. Does not work as well
I had heard of the benefits of green tea capsules from Dr Oz, but was not able to ascertain the freshness and true quality of this product. My results were minimal and I resumed drinking the tea instead. If I try it again, I'll go to the local herbalist to get the freshest, most pure product.
I used them for three months and I did not see any weight loss nor bell fat loss either. I'm am a Physical Ed instructor and work out with all my classes and I also do not eat junk food nor do I drink sodas, since 1973 and I expected to see some great losses, and I did not. Would not recommend this product to any one.
if you are thinking these will help you loose weight, don't count on it.....I didn't and stayed on them for 3 months.....and I had friends that tried them also with no luck...however, one girl did loose 7 lbs. in 2 months but she dieted and exercised.....I did not.
This product gave me the jitters. There are other green coffee bean extracts that are much safer. If you are sensitive to caffeine Do Not buy any coffee beans.

Haha, I also bought an unused Hit Company and another G3ferrari on eBay classifieds Germany. I have a little collection here now The wife thinks I'm crazy...
Don Luigi, that looks really good for having only a single top element. I read elsewhere that you've modded the thermostat. Did you bend the governor/limiter tab out of the way? Or are you just using a fan to cool it? I'm wondering if your element stays on 100% of the time.
