City of Women (Italian: La città delle donne) is a 1980 film written and directed by Federico Fellini.[1] Amid Fellini's characteristic combination of dreamlike, outrageous, and artistic imagery, Marcello Mastroianni plays Snàporaz, a man who voyages through male and female spaces toward a confrontation with his own attitudes toward women and his wife.
Snàporaz (Marcello Mastroianni) wakes up during a train ride and has a brief fling with a woman in the bathroom, but it's cut short when the train suddenly stops and the woman gets off. Snàporaz follows her into the woods, through the wilderness and into a Grand Hotel overrun with women in attendance for a surrealistic feminist convention. He winds up in a conference about polyandry, where his presence is rejected. A frightened Snàporaz retreats to the hotel lobby, but the exit is blocked; instead he seeks refuge with a girl who offers her assistance, Donatella (Donatella Damiani), inside an elevator.
Donatella leads Snàporaz into a gymnasium and forces him to don roller skates. He is yet again cornered and berated by a group of angry women who circle around him in roller skates and practice testicle-kicking with a dummy. Dazed, Snàporaz makes his exit down a flight of stairs, falling down and badly hurting himself, and into the domain of a burly woman (Jole Silvani) tending to the hotel's furnace. The woman showers and offers him a ride to the train station on her motorcycle, but stops by a farm and lures Snàporaz into a nursery, where she tries to rape him. The rape is cut short by the woman's mother, who steps in to chastise her daughter, and Snàporaz decides to follow instead a lonely woman through the country side. He joins her and her girlfriends on a car ride on the promise of being delivered to the station, but the ride goes on well into the night and all they do is hang out high on drugs and listen to techno. A frustrated Snàporaz ditches them and is harassed by them and two more cars until he finds shelter in the off-limits private property of one Dr. Xavier Katzone (Ettore Manni), who hails gunfire on his persecutors.
Dr. Katzone promises to deliver Snàporaz to the train station the following morning and invites him to stay on for a party. Snàporaz walks around Katzone's extravagant household, which is filled with sexual imagery and suggestive, phalic sculptures. He is also fascinated by a collection of photographs hanging from the manor walls that become alight by pressing a button and whisper out arousing dialogue. Katzone takes pride on his many inventions and sets on to celebrate his 10,000th photograph with an eccentric party that involves the blowing of 10,000 candles and a performance by his wife, in which she lures objects such as coins and pearls into her vagina by means of telekinesis. It is in this party that Snàporaz comes across his ex-wife, Elena (Anna Prucnal), who has a drunken argument with him, and meets Donatella again.
The police (composed solely of women) arrive, interrupting Katzone mid-song, and announce the imminent demolition of his house. They also inform him that they've shot one of his dogs, Italo, his most beloved. A grieved Katzone buries him. Meanwhile, Snàporaz dances to Fred Astaire with Donatella and a friend of hers (who are both dressed in scanty clothing), but fails to sleep with either of them, instead getting stuck with his ex in bed. Unable to sleep and hearing strange noises, he crawls under the bed, entering a dream-like world in which he slides down a toboggan, along the way revisiting his childhood crushes (a sitter, a nurse, a prostitute). He is caged at the end of the slide and transported before a strange court, where he is judged for his masculinity. Although he is dismissed to go free, he decides to confront his tentative punishment, and escalates a towering ring before a feminine crowd. At the top of the ring he climbs up a ladder and into a hot air balloon in the shape of Donatella. Donatella herself fires at him from below with a machine-gun, bursting the balloon and sending Snàporaz plummeting to apparent death.
Snàporaz then wakes up on the very same train from the beginning of the film, showing the story to have been a mere nightmare. Just as he comes to this conclusion, he realizes his glasses are broken (as in his dream) and that the wagon is filled by the women that crowded his dream. The train then races into a tunnel and credits roll.

Critical reception[edit]
Italy and France[edit]
City of Women opened in eighty Italian theaters in March 1980[2] and received generally favorable reviews bordering "on respect rather than praise".[2] Corriere della Sera critic Giovanni Grazzini interpreted the film as "a catalogue of emotions, sometimes grotesque, sometimes farcical, which provides a few caustic jibes against the destruction of femininity by aggressive feminism... From a stylistic point of view, it's less homogeneous than usual but other parts of the film are delightful. For instance, when fantasy is used to create types of people rather than caricatures. In this sense Fellini, having abandoned his gallery of monsters, becomes more prosaic. Or when the ambiguity of certain characters - an excellent example is the soubrette played by the charming Donatella Damiani - provides a touch of grace and bitchiness; or when the film becomes almost a musical; or when paradox becomes surrealist, such as the party and the hurricane at the villa of Katzone who's in despair because his favourite dog has died".[3]
"Fellini appears as the Madame Bovary of his adolescence", wrote Claudia Fava for Corriere Mercantile. "He revels in the enjoyment he feels at working with an experienced crew, side by side with faithful technicians who simulate trains on the move or the sea washing the shores of the inevitable Romagnol beaches as though they were working of the set of George Méliès. But then, again and again, Fellini has shown us that he is the greatest and most ingenious of Méliès' heirs. Only the magic does not always work, especially in the attempt to create a kind of astonished confession of amused impotence when faced with the new woman of today, together with a feeling of nostalgia for the old woman of the past... Despite Fellini's extraordinary virtuosity, the film rarely achieves harmony of inspiration, of order, of strip-cartoon fantasy, or of irony."[4] Francesco Bolzoni of L'Avvenire insisted that Fellini was "only playing games. But then we would hardly expect from Fellini a deep analysis of the nature of women... It is a game with occasional gaps and, more often, inventions that rejuvenate an all too familiar, all too hackneyed subject. A surprising serenity predominates... It is a film with a tragic vein that in the end proves to be light-hearted and occasionally amusing".[5] La Notte magazine's Giorgio Carbone felt the maestro had "finally reached a splendid maturity that permits him to lavish his treasures upon us for the simple pleasure of doing so. Behind the festival of images and colours we can feel his delight in making this film, a delight which, from the very first scene, becomes ours too, and it's something we haven't felt in a long time... If the film lacks suspense in its story (we care little what happens to Snàporaz or Katzone because we know that sooner or later Rimini and those bosomy extras will appear on the scene), there's suspense in the images and in the scenic inventions".[6]
Screened out of competition on 19 May 1980 at the 33rd Cannes Film Festival,[7] the film was panned by the majority of French critics, some of whom offered review titles such as "Zero for Fellini", "A Tiring Deception", "A Disaster", as well as "A Mountain of Tedious Pretension".[2] Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky, in Rome that year for the pre-production of Nostalghia, noted in his diary that City of Women was a fiasco: "At the Cannes Festival the papers said that Fellini's last film was a total disaster, and that he himself had ceased to exist. It's terrible, but it's true, his film is worthless."[8]
Released by New Yorker Films in the United States in April 1981, the film garnered generally favorable reviews but little box-office success.[9] Daniel Talbot of New Yorker Films offered an explanation for the public's lack of interest: "Here, it played in less than fifty theatres, and of those, six provided 75 percent of the earnings. I don't know what Gaumont or Fellini could have expected with that kind of personal film. He had lost most of his audience here by then. Which isn't to say that I don't think him one of the great filmmakers of the world."[9] For Vincent Canby of The New York Times, however, the film was a success: "Though the film is overlong, even for a Fellini aficionado, it is spell-binding, a dazzling visual display that is part burlesque, part satire, part Folies-Bergère, and all cinema. As Snàporaz is haunted by the phantoms of all the women he has known, or wanted to know, from childhood on, Mr Fellini in City of Women is obsessed by his own feelings toward women, by his need for them, his treatment (mostly poor) of them, his continued fascination by them and his awareness that (thank heavens) they'll always be different... Though City of Women is about a libertine, it's anything but licentious. Mr Fellini's licentiousness suggests a profound longing for some kind of protective discipline, if not complete chastity. As such discipline would destroy Snàporaz, it would make impossible the conception and production of a film as wonderfully uninhibited as City of Women."[10]
John Gould Boyum of the Wall Street Journal observed that "the film's entire thrust has little or nothing to do with the striking of attitudes, the analyzing of ideas. What Fellini seems after here is the recording and communicating of a set of feelings: those complex, contradictory ones experienced by a middle-aged Italian male suddenly faced with a cataclysmic upheaval in social and sexual mores... We do not go to Fellini to immerse ourselves in story and character or to encounter ideas. What we want from the maestro and what he gives us are fabulous adventures in feeling - a decidedly original mixture of nostalgia, poignancy, and joy that is unmistakably Fellini's own."[11]

20 Children Shot Dead at Elementary School in ConnecticutPosted on Dec 14, 2012
Sources involved in a developing investigation say a 20-year-old gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, on Friday morning at a grade school in Newtown, Conn., roughly 60 miles northeast of New York City. Lt. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police would not confirm the leaked figures. At a news conference Friday morning, he said there were "several" victims, The Washington Post reported. The gunman, whose mother was a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School, reportedly killed her first and then later took his own life. The event ranks as one of the largest mass shootings in U.S. history. A photo released by The Newtown Bee showed a group of young, visibly distressed students being led across a parking lot by attending adults. State police officers say the Newtown police contacted them around 9:40 a.m., according to The Associated Press. The deployment of law enforcement officers included a SWAT team with at least one sharpshooter placed on the roof of the school. —Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly. Update: Sadly the number of children killed has been revised upwards to 20. An earlier version of this report had the number at 18.

"Look at it, man", he said as if he had read my thoughts. "they call it America, and they call it civilization, and they call it television, and they believe in it and salute it and sing songs to it and eat and sleep and die still believing in it, and---and---I don't know", he said, taking another drag, "then some time the Mets come along and win the World Series___" Gram Parsons, quoted by Stanley Booth in Dance With The Devil
Well, I'll use the words I choose to use to express my opinion, not yours - and that's all your posts amount to, your opinion. I think your position is silly. So what if the league difference between home and road BA is .01 [we can dispense with the extra zero, can't we?]. Musial did it at a 32-33% level, not .283 or whatever. Instead of just SAYING so, how about citing twenty players who have or had been as consistent at such a high level of BA for as long a period of time, showing their BA's home and away and their home/road differential.
By the way, WHEN was the league differential .01 ["approximately"]? And which "points" are you giving and which are you taking?
What most of us on htis thread are talking about is consistent greatness.
Who gives a holy chaw about a player who is consistently BAD???
---Or about consistent nitpicking?
What's a fact is that you have just got to have your own way, no matter how twisted, and are completely intolerant of those who see the forest as WELL as the trees.
Debate it all you want. It won't change the truth of it.
Um, I never said there were 20 players who did it at such a high level! I'm only arguing that he wasn't amazingly consistent. He was merely par for the course (CONSISTENCY-WISE ONLY).
What I did do is pick 5 pretty good players, at random, and checked their splits. Two of them had identical home and road averages for their career (Luis Gonzalez and Garret Anderson). I'm not about to spend an hour looking for 18 more of them, but I'm sure they're out there.
In Musial's era, like I said. See here for some examples...
Eyeballing the stats, it looks like the difference between home and road averages was about .010. I'm not about waste an hour calculating it exactly. There's no point in doing that. It makes little difference if it's .005, .010, or .015.
To sum up: Musial was a great, great hitter. Consistency-wise, he was par for the course. But, not having the same home and road batting averages is certainly no big deal at all. It doesn't even drop him down one bit in my book.

We're delighted to let you know that Paul Burstow, Minister of Health for Care Services, has spoken in Parliament welcoming JDRF's Type 1 diabetes lobbying event. The Minister made his comments during a Commons debate on diabetes on Friday, stating:
"I welcome the fact that there will be a type 1 diabetes parliamentary lobby by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in the next month or so to highlight some of the relevant issues."
With JDRF's Type 1 Parliament quickly approaching, a ministerial mention in Parliament goes a long way in helping raise awareness of the event and of some of the key issues surrounding type 1. In addition to drawing attention to Type 1 Parliament, the Minister also spoke about access to insulin pumps and medicine. The full debate can be accessed here.

( Originally Published 1915 )
Cut-worms.—Cut-worms are found in and near sod-ground.
They eat the vegetables of our garden as well as our corn. The worst feature of their mischief is that they do not eat the whole plant but cut it off just beneath or above ground. Thus a large number of plants are necessary to satisfy each larva. Their ravages are most noticeable on crops planted in hills as corn, cabbage and tomatoes. They are known also to girdle young trees. They do their greatest damage to corn on the first-sod crop. There are many species of these rascals but the owlet-moths are mothers to them all. One of these moths is the dirty gray moth that flies so frequently against our lights during the spring months. The moths lay their eggs in the ground during the summer. The larvae soon hatch and begin to feed upon the stems and exposed roots of plants, but as they are very small the first season their ravages are little noticed. As fall comes on, the half-grown larvae burrow into the ground where they spend the winter. They emerge again in spring as larvae about the size of a child's little finger. They feed at night. Let the children go out into the garden and find cabbage, tomatoes or corn cut off, then look under the surface of the ground for the cut-worm. He will generally be found just under the surface near his mischief. One way to catch and to control them is to lay fresh pie-plant (rhubarb) leaves around on the ground in the cabbage, tomato or sweet corn patch. The cut-worms do their mischief and then crawl under these leaves to spend the day. I found twenty-three under the pie-plant leaves in my garden one morning. Another way to trap them is with the dibble used to make holes for the cabbage and tomato plants. Make holes about eight or ten inches deep with vertical sides, into which the cut-worms will fall but cannot draw their fat, lazy bodies out again. For field practice frequent cultivation, late fall plowing or disking, frequent rotation of crops including clover especially, and strong seed are to be recommended. The cut-worms like weak, tender plants best. Frequently it is a good plan to drill in a few extra rows along the edges of the field, midway between the regular field crop rows, so that the cut-worms, squirrels and gophers will have a double amount on the edge of the field and hence do half as much injury to the regular crop. The chickens and the birds must be asked to help us in our warfare against the cut-worms. The little striped gopher destroys many cut-worms each day.
The White Grub.—The white grub worm is another pest that does much damage to both field and garden crops. Farm children know him as the brown-headed, white, fat " worm " found in well-rotted manure during the summer months. He does most damage on old sod or well-manured ground. The eggs are laid in the ground, preferably in sod or rotting manure, and the larvae or grubs hatch and live for two or three years on organic matter, mostly plant roots. The eggs are laid by the May-beetles, or June-bugs (Fig. 103), which are the brown beetles that make a noise like a swarm of bees around trees, during the spring evenings. These beetles are the ones that come buzzing into the room on a spring evening and whiz around the light. The beetles themselves often do serious injury to the foliage of young trees from which they may be shaken on to sheets or blankets and then gathered and burned. But the larvir do the most injury.
Says Comstock : " We have known large strawberry plantations to be destroyed by them, and have seen large patches of ground in pastures from which the sod could be rolled as one would roll a carpet from a floor, the roots having been all destroyed and the ground just beneath the surface finely pulverized by these larva. No satisfactory method of fighting this pest has been discovered as yet. If swine are turned into fields infested with white grubs they will root out the larvae and feed upon them. We have destroyed great numbers of the beetles by use of trap-lanterns, but many beneficial insects were destroyed at the same time." As the larvae live near the surface, clean and frequent cultivation is necessary, also the presence of gophers, which eat both this grub and cut-worms. The chickens and birds must be asked again to help us in our warfare against this pest; the toads, salamanders, hats, frogs, and snakes must also be thanked for their help. Children must learn that life and happiness for whole communities may depend upon bright boys and girls learning to identify these pests and being able to distinguish the helpful from the harmful life about them. There may be some diseases of the white grub that we shall learn to multiply when some boy or girl tells us how. Fall plowing, so as to bring to our aid the frosts, storms and birds of winter, must not be forgotten. The white grub worm is said to be a prolific source for the spread of hog cholera, especially from buried animals.

text: This course focuses on a major theological work by a significant author, and examines the coherence and interrelation of its themes This iteration will consist of a careful and close reading of one of the pivotal volumes of Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics, among the most significant works of theology in the 20th century. Volume II, part 2 is noted for its revolutionary relocation of the doctrine of election in the doctrine of God, for grounding Christian ethics in dogmatics, and for its consistent Christological centre. Within this framework, oriented by careful exegetical work, Barth treats themes such as Trinity, Israel, church, the destiny of the individual, and ethics as the command of God.

Bobbi Bliss, Chaz Vincent, Gina Ryder, Brian Surewood, Daisy Chain, Alyssa Allure, Rayne (I), Nick East, Tony Tedeschi
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Nick East and Brian Surewood are watching television, when the images become reality (or something). "Word up, Wordman. Do you know what the solution for sex is?" smirk the TV girls, addressing the "viewers."
We've got a suggestion for the solution: Not breaking up the sex with shtick would be a good start. The music is intrusively bad and loud, but a few of the scenes work. Highlights include blond, tattooed Daisy Chain's strap-on encounter with Gina Ryder; and Bobbi Bliss getting her meaty ass tongued and her pretty face drenched by Surewood.

High School Off-Season Fitness Program - advice?
Like (0)
I am a second-year 12-man high school football head coach here in Canada. I am trying to design an off-season fitness program for my athletes, both during the school off-season and for the summer holiday months. In the past, we have tried various initiatives with varied degrees of success, (regular workouts consisting of beep-tests, running and weight training). Points of discussion I have include:
I would be happy to help you create a Off-Season Speed, Agility, and general fitness program for your athletes. If you could please give me a call at 318-265-0206
I would make them drink Vita Coco to rehydrate instead of Gatorade, it has 1/3 more electrolytes and tastes better as well. It's also a miracle cure for hangovers.
Sir, I am not an expert on this subject but I will give you some tips that I have seen implemented with tremendous success. First of all you have to create a dialogue with your leaders and returning players on your team. Depending on the rules or policies of your school you should run it similar to a business atmosphere. You are the CEO and will delegate responsibilities to your assistants and your team leaders(usually the handful of guys who seem to work harder than everyone else).
Create a comprehensive workout plan (theres tons of styles out there that incorporate plyometrics/weight training/ endurance/ flexibility training) with the assistance of your staff. Make sure you know your plan like the back of your hand and be able to demonstrate if need be. A lot of schools have what we call a bigger /faster /stronger program. It is usually similar in styles and regimen. It includes working out after school everyday and a 3 hour dynamic workout session on saturdays. The part that everyone fails at, is having the same workouts everyday. Kids like to be challenged and introduced to new things so keep it fresh. Since it is not college and they are not on scolarships or required to participate these kids will fade real fast. Keep it fresh. Keep your leaders close and help them to create a culture.
At the end of your season pass out your plan to your returning players.
Since Mixed Martial Arts is the craze, you might wanna look at some mma crosstraining workouts. I know from experience, they are pretty freakish.
Take a chapter out of the Marinovich brothers book. They have trained many champions from football to MMA. Try Crossfit. Try Insanity.
I myself, have trained in fitness boxing and I love it. The workout is tough, but the varied each and every day. I have always considered this type of workout for my players. It builds general fitness a great deal, plus the use of the hands, and and feet - both which is needed in the game of football.
I teach/coach at a high school that is in a town about a 20 minute drive outside our city (where the boxing club is). Thus, the logistics of getting my players to the boxing club everyday is one challenge to consider when enrolling my players in fitness boxing.... comments anyone?

Last weekend I put the down payment down on a shed. It's a 14x28 Graceland Portable Garage shed. Here's a link to it: http://gracelandportablebuildings.com/portable_garage.htm . It's a pretty nice shed, and is solid. However, it's just a shell, my job is to finish the inside. So here's the gameplan.... I'm going to separate it into 2 separate rooms, first, the shop area, where all my tools will be. Second, there's going to be an air-conditioned back room where I will store non-automotive stuff that won't fit in the house. The back room will be either 8 or 12 feet deep to accommodate all my junk with the remainder going to the shop. With the need to finish the building's interior myself, there's some questions I need to answer that frankly I'm having trouble answering. Cooling: Down South, it's HOT year-round. So, my storage needs to be cooled, that's non-negotiable. My issue is how am I going to cool it. I was originally going to get a through-the-wall A/C unit, frame a hole in the wall for it, cut the hole out and install it. But, I'd rather not put a huge gaping hole in the wall just to have the window unit go out a few years down the road and have to resize the hole for whatever air conditioner I can find at that point. Then, I discovered the world of split-unit systems. Here's a link to the one I was considering: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 . Using a split unit system, I only have to drill a 3" hole in the wall to run the lines through. Much more hole-friendly. My question, is how well do these split systems work? I've seen them in a couple local restaurants, but didn't know whether they were put there to supplement an existing a/c system or running solely off them. Do they cool well? The split-unit would cost about double what a regular through-the-wall would cost me, but I like the install and aesthetic advantages. Wall Covering: I'm not sure where I want to go with this. I'm going to need either sheetrock or plywood on the walls in both the storage and shop areas, but I don't know which way I want to go. I've never sheetrocked before, so I don't know how hard it is to hang and cut holes in, etc. For that matter, I've never hung plywood on a wall either. I'm a total noob in this area. Suggestions? Flooring: The shed has a plywood floor, but I'd like to cover it up with something nicer, more durable, and spill/stain resistent. For the storage area, I was thinking of simple linoleum or peel-n-stick tiles, but I think it'd look kind of tacky. Ceramic tile would cost a lot to buy and install, and probably wouldn't stand up to dropping stuff on it. For the shop, I was thinking maybe some sort of epoxy coating similar to what would be put on a concrete shop floor. Again, suggestions? Thanks guys, I'm so excited to get this shed!
Thanks for adding the pics in Steve. Did we lose the tools/garage sub-forum? Also, no suggestions on what to do?
It is just a bigger dog house if the wifey gets mad. Lol. Suggest that rubber tile flooring that they use in gyms. Looks good and stuff bounces better, like dropped tools. Dropped tools on linoleum just damages linoleum . Go look at some "man cave" episodes as they used some trick stuff that was durable and good looking.
A friend of mine suggested a mat like this http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=144557&navAction=push or like this http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=prod4660075&navAction=push for flooring. I am kind of liking the modular interlocking tile idea. It should be quite durable, and not look half bad in the process.
I've been thinking of using that same stuff on my garage floor. Of course, that would mean that I would have to remove everything in my garage, which would suck... Congrats on your shed/shop! My garage is my favorite place! It's actually where I am right meow.
If you go the sheetrock route make sure you get the paperless kind. The reason is it won't mold. They also sell "green board" it is also supposed to be mold resistant. I would recommend these products in the garage because if you hose out the area the sheet rock will get wet and wick up the wall a bit. And as to your question about hanging it, it is easy. It may be a two man job simply for the size of the sheet rock you use. They sell a sheet rock saw (small hand saw with teeth on both sides) or if you have a Roto Zip you can use that to cut the holes. If you are going to run power out there make sure you do it before you hang the rock. Add more than you think you are going to need. It is better to have to much than find out once you are done that you didn't put enough out there. Go with the mini split. It is similar to the A/C system that is used in the south. If it needs to be serviced it is done the same as central air. Race Deck makes a good product if you are looking to go the rubber tile route. I have heard the ones from sams tend to crack because the support on the back side of the tile leaves a lot to be desired. I had a shed about the size of yours and when I ordered it they offered a plywood floor that had an oil/grease resistant coating on it. If I was to get another one I would look into something like that. I do my mechanical work on the truck and bike in the garage, but would store the bike in the shed. Harley's love to mark their territory. Good luck and congrats on the new shed.
Go to your local lumber yard and look at OSB, it is the chip board they use for roof underlay and flooring underlay. I covered my garage walls with it and it has worked out great. Stronger than sheet rock and doesn't cost that much more, you can put nails or hooks in it to hang stuff and it is somewhat moisture proof. I have a window AC unit in a hole in the wall because it was free and it works. Could be wrong but believe they have more or less standardized the case sizes in the last several years and the worry about replacements isn't as much of a problem as it use to be. Nice building, you will enjoy it..
Hmm, I didn't know they'd standardized the sizes, but now that I think about it, I have seen pretty standard sizes. I think I'm still going to try out a split unit for the smaller hole in the outside wall and inside wall space. A window unit means that's less wallspace available for shelving. The split unit goes high on the wall, so I can put it above the door. I was thinking about using some sort of epoxy coating on the floor. Seems it would be strong and spill-resistant. Of course I'm looking for the cheapest method, but I also want it to be strong, durable, and easy to clean. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

For those a bit less familiar with the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, Ghent is a historic neighborhood located on the west side of midtown Norfolk, just north of downtown and just south of Old Dominion University. Its name comes from the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium, which ended the War of 1812. The first suburb of Norfolk, Ghent was created around the turn of the 20th century and most of its buildings date back to the era between 1890 and 1920. More on the history of Ghent, as well as a cartoon map and other useful information, is available through the links on this site.

Cruise Ships
Silver Wind
A refreshed look and feel, but the elegance remains the same
A multi-million pound renovation of Silverseas Cruises' Silver Wind, involving virtually every aspect of the ship, was completed in December 2008.
During the four-week dry dock at the San Giorgio shipyard in Genoa, Italy, the comprehensive refurbishment set a visionary course for the future with a refreshed decor embodying a sophisticated contemporary style that is warm and inviting with touches of natural cherry wood, russet and golden tones.
A centerpiece of the project was the addition of an Observation Lounge (seating 60 guests), Spa, Beauty Salon and Fitness Centre on the forward section of Deck 9, altering the ship's exterior appearance with floor-to-ceiling windows. A new two-floor, glass-enclosed elevator was also installed connecting Decks 8 and 9.
Says Silversea president Amerigo Perasso: "We're delighted with the results of this major renovation. Silver Wind has a refreshed look and feel, yet the ship retains her elegance and charm throughout. The company has made an important investment to bring this vessel in line with the style and design themes that are planned for our new ship, Silver Spirit. With these enhancements, our guests are sure to enjoy a renewed sense of luxury and comfort aboard Silver Wind."
Suite enhancements
Accommodating 298 guests, Silver Wind's 149 ocean-view suites range in size from 240 to 1,314 square feet (22 - 122 square metres), with 80 per cent now featuring a private veranda. Suite modifications include the following:
The Spa
The new Spa, which encompasses the Beauty Salon and Fitness Centre, occupies over 650 additional square feet following the renovation. The expanded Spa features an inviting reception area, four massage rooms, one body treatment room, one dry sauna and one steam sauna. The new Fitness Centre includes a body-building room and separate aerobics room, both offering spectacular panoramic ocean views.
Other ship enhancements include new upholstery, curtains, wall treatments, carpets and/or flooring in the restaurants, public lounges, lobbies, stairs and corridors.

- "The giant German carmaker's leap into the micro market. Designed for the narrow, parking space deprived roads of Europe, this is sure to stick out on the eight lane freeways, and in the mile-wide parking lots of Los Santos, until you get crushed by an SUV driven by an over-medicated housewife."
- ―Southernsanandreassuperautos.com description.
The Panto is a city car featured in Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto V. The car was meant to be featured in Grand Theft Auto III but it was dropped during development. The car makes a return in Grand Theft Auto V as part of the I'm Not a Hipster Update. It is now manufactured by Benefactor.
The Panto name first debuted in GTA 2 in the form of a two-door microcar (occasionally confused as a van) akin to the Dementia, but significantly larger. Its appearance alone makes the car generally unappealing, in contrast to larger, better designed cars in the game. The internal name given to the Panto is FIAT
, implying the car's name originates from that of a similarly named Fiat Punto, but may otherwise be comparable to a 1949-1967 Tempo Matador Kleinbus. It best resembles the Fiat 500 K estate.
The Panto was planned to reappear as a four-door compact sedan in GTA III, but was cut for unknown reasons. The car, like the Panto in GTA 2, bears some resemblance to a Fiat, specifically, a Fiat 128; little else is known about the car. A picture of the car can be found on the "Capital Auto Sale$" teaser website, along with many other beta vehicles [1].
The Panto reappears in GTA V as a part of the I'm Not a Hipster Update. The Panto still retains its microcar design, surpassing the Weeny Issi's already small size. It is manufactured by Benefactor and resembles a 2007-present Smart Fortwo, however it has different shaped headlights. The overall design is inspired by Gordon Murray T.25 and Gordon Murray T27. The Volkswagen Up! is the base for the rear fascia, the Mitsubishi i for the frontal fascia, and the Toyota iQ/Scion iQ/Aston Martin Cygnet for the side profile.
The Panto's performance in GTA 2 mirrors its generally undesirable appearance. The car suffers from an underpowered engine, which results in a poor top speed and below average acceleration. However, helped largely by its speed, the Panto's steering is still acceptable, but its brakes are mediocre, being slightly below average. Even so, the vehicle is not practical when evading gunfire and hostile enemies, such as law enforcement. It takes less damage than a usual car, the same applies to the Schmidt.
The Panto in GTA V is a small, light car with quick acceleration. It is powered by a 1-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (in contrast to the Smart Fortwo, which has either a 1-liter 3-cylinder or an all-electric engine) coupled to an automatic gearbox in an RR layout. Its acceleration is average, owing to its incredibly light weight, and its top speed is quite high, but caution should be taken when driving at high speeds because its short wheelbase makes it very unstable and prone to spinning out of control. This could make driving at high speeds quite problematic. The handling is rather poor despite its size, as the vehicle suffers from understeer, and its durability is unremarkable, as it can only take a few head-on crashes before its axle breaks and its engine stalls. The Panto is very maneuverable when airborne able to do multiple spins with ease. Nevertheless, this is a great commuter car if you don't want to risk paying the insurance premium on one of your super cars. This vehicle has the best acceleration in its class. It only takes 5.1 seconds to reach 60 mph and has a top speed of 175 mph (283 km/h).

- The Residential and Industrial Districts of Anywhere City.
- A green Panto is parked in the lot by the train station near the church in the Residential District, Anywhere City.
- Can be found in the player's garage in single player.
- Commonly spawns in traffic, including parking lots (enhanced version only).
GTA Online
- Can be bought in GTA Online from Southernsanandreassuperautos.com for $85,000.
- Rarely spawns in traffic (enhanced version only).
- The default radio station for the Panto is:
- GTA 2: Osmosis Radio (Residential) or Lo-Fi FM (Industrial)
- GTA V: Lowdown 91.1 and Space 103.2.
- This is the second vehicle from GTA 2 to return in GTA V and also takes the same year. The first vehicle from GTA 2 was the Z-Type.
Grand Theft Auto 2
- In GTA 2, when crushed, the Panto awards the player with grenades.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Panto is one of two cars in Grand Theft Auto V with stickerbomb customization options. The other car is the Declasse Asea.
- The Panto in GTA V does not dent and deform when crashed, similar to motorcycles.
- The GTA V edition of the Panto is one of the only cars to be small enough to be driven through many accessible doors, such as the double doors at the entrance to Michael's mansion.
- This is the only Benefactor vehicle that doesn't resemble a Mercedes-Benz model. However, Smart is part of the Daimler AG group, which is also the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. There are several cars that look similar to the Panto Made by Mercedes-Benz, but are not as small as the Panto.
- The Panto is the smallest car in GTA V and GTA Online, surpassing the Weeny Issi.
- The Panto has a very low tolerance for water, as it will short out in shallow water such as in the Los Santos storm drain. Surprisingly, the Issi has fair tolerance for shallow water and doesn't short out easily.
- When the Stickerbomb livery is added to the tailgate, the license plate will be shifted at a slight angle.
- Like the Sabre Turbo, when the Panto is modified with a Roll Cage, it will have the fuel tank on the trunk. However, this is considerably dangerous, as the Panto has its engine below the trunk.
- The Panto shares its engine sound with the Dilettante but with a clearer tone, partly due to the lack of electric motor.

8 fall prevention tips for EMS providers to share with friends, family, and patients
Updated March 11, 2015
Injury prevention, especially of geriatric falls, is an important responsibility for EMS providers
"I have fallen and I can't get up" was the Snuggie™ equivalent infomercial of my childhood. Day and night, Lifecall advertisements ran on my favorite television channels.
Twenty years later, I find myself responding to real calls for "I have fallen and I can't get up." I know you do, too. I believe it is important for EMS providers to offer fall prevention tips to the patient and/or their families. We are usually the only health care providers that see the patient's living room. Some patient tips are:
1. If you have a walker or a cane that you are supposed to use, then use it.
2. Don't get out of bed or up from a chair suddenly.
3. Move cords for lights, TVs, and appliances out of walking paths.
4. Know where your pets are before you move.
5. Use railings when going up or down steps.
6. Wear shoes instead of slippers for better traction.

dino23's Blog > Week 22 Need Advice!
Posted 11 February 2013
Went to the derm last week and was informed that this is my last month! He did say that he wants to put me on Retin-A once I am finished with Accutane. Has anyone else done this? I am just tired of using powerful topicals, I think that is where I went wrong in the first place because my skin got so use to them, once I stopped using it I got horrible...

Again, nothing but scars and dry skin right now. My scars look the same as they did 4 weeks ago so I am kinda bummed they aren't fading as fast. I will say I since my dosage was upped to 80mg I noticed my tolerance for alcohol has gone down a lot! I dont really drink much on this drug, just occasionally. But I was out celebrating an engagement...

Posted 14 January 2013
Pretty much same as last week, drier skin and no new acne to report just scars. I think it is weird how some scars take FOREVER to fade and some go away quicker. Like I had a cyst on my chin and cheek at the same time and the one on my cheek still has a dark scar and I...

Enter the blogosphere
As a journalist, I've always been a bit perplexed by the idea of a blog. In the world of media, we called such things "columns" and we wrote them to fill the blank spots on the editorial pages of newspapers...but today, with the Internet's changes, even a regular column doesn't quite suffice to fill the need for informal writing where you can swing an axe at a variety of topics, have your thoughts up in 2 seconds, share comments with other readers, and accept the dose of criticism you've earned when your opinions aren't shared by everyone.
So at long last, I've realized that it's time to start blogging on the topic that I cover as editor of SecurityInfoWatch.com. That said, I welcome you to "The Security Check" -- and this will be my place to juggle thoughts on security breaches, new technologies, industry news, discussions I've had and a whole lot more.
 A little about myself: I've been covering the security industry for over two years now, writing to an audience of alarm companies, security directors, product manufacturers and systems integrators. I get about every press release on security known to man. I came over from a background that included managing a magazine dealing with residential home construction and technology, and I'm an avid electronics geek who has built a couple computers and who likes playing with IP cameras.
I feel 10 years younger already just because I have a blog, and with that, I want to sign off my first post as I welcome you to portion of my brain that deals with security topics.

Chronic ulcerations are often colonized or contaminated with bacterial pathogens that can prevent ulcers from healing. Many such wounds become clinically infected and require treatment with antibiotics. However, early diagnosis of diabetic foot infections is a clinical challenge as typical signs and symptoms of infection, such as pain, redness, or elevated circulating inflammatory markers, can be absent in individuals with neuropathic or neuroischaemic ulcers. Failure to diagnose and treat such infections can lead rapidly to the infection spreading, with the possibility of tissue necrosis, gangrene, osteomyelitis, and ultimately the prospect of a lower leg amputation.
Currently there are no antibiotics on the market specifically indicated for the prevention of diabetic foot infections. There is also reluctance by practitioners to use existing, systemically-acting antibiotics prophylactically because of concerns with systemic side effects and fear of propagating bacterial resistance with widespread use. Furthermore, diabetic ulcers are often associated with vascular disease and restricted peripheral blood flow, which may render systemically acting antibiotics less effective. By achieving very high localized concentrations of antibiotic, CollaRx GENTAMICIN TOPICAL is designed to overcome these concerns and this trial has received support from leading podiatrists and infectious disease specialists in the US as the first of its kind. Market research independently performed by L.E.K. Consulting has forecast peak annual US sales revenues for CollaRx GENTAMICIN TOPICAL approaching US$270 million, when limiting the sales projections to diabetic foot indications only.

Love Food: An Inquiry
Hubs: Hey, you're getting pretty good at that.
ASR: I know.
Hubs: You know, chicks are impressed by a guy who can cook.
ASR: Can you cook?
Hubs: Um........... no. But you should learn.
Me: That's a good idea. We should pick a few things that would impress chicks and make them.
ASR: Kay.....but what food impresses chicks?
This led to a rather animated discussion. My husband voted for grilled steak, some kind of potato besides mashed, and a salad.
I disagreed. I think the menu he suggested is a menu to impress a dude, not a chick. It is, in fact, the menu he asks for every Father's Day.
Awesome Stepkid R., showing a frightening ability to look into the future, suggested he learn how to make breakfast. You know, just in case.
Yeah, I almost peed myself too.
I'm not sure I have the emotional fortitude to delve into breakfast just yet with R. However, it got me thinking...what, as a woman, would impress you? What would you love to see on the table, happily prepared by the man at the stove? And men, you can weigh in too, feel free.
I immediately thought of pasta. But unfortunately, Awesome Stepkid R. doesn't like pasta. That kid is craaaaazy that way.
Then I thought of chocolate. Of course. But that's dessert. Shouldn't we start with the meal?
Shrimp, scallops or tuna could be a good bet, but then again, a heck of a lot of people don't "do" fish. Seems kind of risky to me--I'd hate for him to take the pains to make something, only to turn his date green around the gills. Still, there's something about shellfish that's sexy, don't you think?
Here are a few of my thoughts:
- it shouldn't be too heavy. You definitely don't want your date to require a nap during the date.
- it should be relatively simple, yet complicated enough to impress.
- ditto with speed of execution. Not too quick, not too cumbersome.
- it shouldn't contain immense amounts of the following: garlic, chile flakes/peppers, bones, shells, cheese.
- it shouldn't require copious mess and/or skill to eat, eg: ribs, crab legs, whole lobster, noodles with chopsticks.
I'm searching for a meal to seal the deal (okay, not like that) that's not a bank-breaker, a time-sucker or a risk-taker.
Tell me, tell me, wise readers...what should Awesome Stepkid R. have in his culinary arsenal?
18 comments:
I say start with simple, yet flavorful...Learning to perfectly season and cook a skin-on, boneless chicken breast, then make a quick pan sauce with the juices, some herbs, lemon, broth, etc. always impresses. With a basic mashed tater (that can be left open to add-ins in the future) and seasonal veggies cooked al dente. That would still impress me!! And okay, throw a little chocolate in...dip those strawberries...always a hit!
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of making a good and simple kickass salad to accompany the meal. One of my gotos is baby greens with orange segments (supreme the orange - another good skill) and toasted almond slivers dressed in a citrus vinaigrette. My favorite easy meal is pan-seared scallops. It's fast, but expensive. He could try a marinated grilled flank steak (easy and fast). Instead of potatoes, I rather love grilled or roasted asparagus. So many choices! :) Dessert is easy - chocolate. Chocolate truffles get big wows for little effort. Seriously. xxoo
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tsquared, anything he took the time to cook himself, would be impressive. My husband doesn't cook at all, he seems to loose all sense once he steps foot in the kitchen (think it's an act?) Anyway, once when I was under the weather and he made grilled cheese, it was the sweetest thing.
The breakfast comment was too funny, course you can have a late night breakfast, omelettes are good :)Make sure it's not something that would get stuck in her teeth, like pesto or broccoli. Not good. (I should know.) I am a pasta girl, but I would be fine with the guy's meal of steak. Maybe you could girl it up a bit, like mini filets with different sauces...blue cheese, hollandaise, bearnaise (I am not going to spell check on a Sunday morning), with a side of asparagus. Now THAT would get me!
ReplyDeleteSomething gooey and chocolaty for pudding...maybe even some cheese and biscuits with chutney and celery and grapes...a good bottle of wine...maybe some king prawns in there somewhere to start or mussels! Ermmm...I actually adore steak so I wouldn't say no to a medium rare one with home-made chips (want to see the effort) and some roasted vine tomatoes....yum. I'm not sure that helps your son much though....a good spag bol always works but he doesn't like pasta - a fab risotto is always a winner but its a bit tedious to cook too....
ReplyDeleteRisotto. Yes, it's not that easy to make a good one, and it's not that quick either, but let me tell you, it's impressive. And it works for the vegetarian girls too if you use veggie stock (I know, not as good, but still works). That, a salad and a nice but simple dessert with chocolate -- maybe a chocolate mousse.
ReplyDelete- Sheri_FLAugust 10, 2009 at 3:47 AM
hmmm this is tough, not only are you asking for female faves, but also asking us to put ourselves back in the shoes of a 20-something female whose tastebuds haven't likely evolved much past dorm-room spaghettios and Ramen noodles LOL! I'd probably choose something off the Chili's or Uno's menu such as steak/chicken fajitas or grilled chicken pizza. Some kind of "fun" food. I agree that chocolate-dipped fruit would be a good choice for these younglings, something they can have a blast doing together.
ReplyDelete I think that I would start by teaching him how to make a salad. It is not unusual for a guy to be able to cook a steak, however if he can make a great salad I'm always impressed. For the main course perhaps a rolled chicken dish (which can be rolled ahead and then cooked when she's there). I like to pound a chicken breast until it is thin and then layer in a slice of provolone, a basil leaf, and a few thin portobello slices. Roll it all up with a prosciutto layer on the outside, tie w/ kitchen string, and then pan sear or grill until cooked through w/ salt and pepper for flavor. He could make a quick sauce with the pan juices too. Impressive but easy.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are terrific. I am taking all suggestions to the table, and will keep you updated.
Hubby just announced: "Chicken isn't sexy." I'm thinking on that one... I mean, a plain grilled one slapped on a plate isn't, but I think we can sex chicken up, can't we? Stuffed like Phoo-D suggested, or with a pan sauce like Girlichef mentioned...that's not boring. Safe, but not boring, and safe isn't bad when you cook for someone for the first time.
Anyways, thanks for your input and it's going to spur some interesting discussion around here!I know I am late but I agree with everyone (almost) a salad is great and won't make him sweat bullets and then just some kind of marinated gilled meat to go on top cut into thin strips......a good size and she should have enough room for dessert, what ever that will be!
I would be very happy :0)one our third or fourth date my husband made a baked/roasted chicken with creamed spinach and some potato side (can't remember the potatoes, unremarkable apparently); i was very impressed, the roasted chicken (in the oven) was juicy, flavorful and tender, the creamed spinach (made with a pinch of nutmeg) is something we regularly make to this day and he just used frozen spinach so it was easy.
I was impressed and it was delicious and really easy to make, and we were talking and laughing while the chicken was in the oven.
