Behind Scientology's high celebrity profile lies an organisation on its knees. In this powerful documentary produced for the Australian television program Four Corners, a band of former elite members emerge from the secretive religion to allege extreme cruelty, slave labour and financial greed. A jaw-dropping investigation, powerful and well-crafted.

I enjoyed this film which reveals a lot about this secretive and influential "religion" which seems like the basic tenet is "abuse leads to salvation" and "pay to pray" lol. The official spokesman for Scientology was periodically questioned during the film and he squirmed,twitched and showed so many tells that he was lying in his answer to most of the questions. Couple of times it looked like he wanted to jump out of his skin at even being asked such questions. The older woman who was in Sea Org with Hubbard had tremendous credibility in comparison and so did the family who had left and suffered so much loss and regret.
This is an episode of a TV news magazine, with sound-bite interview style and little dramatic flair. It presents the facts, or such of the facts as relate to the interviewees, clearly and believably enough, and some specifics of the strongarm tactics that the 'church' uses to control its members will probably be new even to people who already knew something about Scientology. What it doesn't do is provide any insight into why anyone would fall for this stuff, or why they would remain in such an under-written organization. 'Sea Org'? 'Body Thetans'? Come on!
This was most enlightening, and very captivating. I have never known anything about Scientology, and this documentary certainly reveals way more than I could have imagined. It's hard to believe that this is legal, and that this so-called religion is allowed to operate in a free country. Quite alarming - a definate "must see."
Covers some of the same ground as the recent HBO doc GOING CLEAR, but makes a nice companion piece with additional footage including some interviews with Scientology's mouthpiece Tommy Davis and some heartbreaking footage with families affected by disconnection.
Meh. I can say that there wasn't much here I didn't already know. This exposé simply re-inforced my opinion of Scientology as a dangerous cult.
Interesting informational documentary......definitely learned a few things about Scientology that I didn't know!
It boggles my mind that any half way intelligent person would get involved with such an obvious fraud like Scientology, but like the man said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
The Doc. made me cringe the first time I saw it and I have the same feeling as I did the first time. I can't believe this thing is still going on. How can people believe in this CRAP.
It's shocking how many human rights violations occur in this organization. The ironic fact that a sci- fi writer actually created this religion is not lost on me at all. I find it remarkable however that so many film industry giants buy into this, literally.
Exceptional documentary. Courageous and illuminating. Could have never been done in the US. I am grateful for its existence.
Job well done. I didn't learn much new, but a lot of past learnings were resurrected with strong feelings attached. I wish the film had captioning as I may have missed a few points because of my hearing loss. I also found myself going back through the experience of my son leaving home at 16 to join the Unification Church of "Rev." Moon, his "true father." Though he left the cult in the 1980's, he still believes Moon, though now dead, is his true father. The Unification Church is also wealthy and also sends their "missionaries" out to work various jobs, working basically for room and board in the church's "communities." Scientology seems to be just another cult, but one with very sophisticated structure and security.
An interesting documentary. Not what I had expected and definitely, not shat I was looking for. I had hoped it would be a more generalized overview of Scientology.... The actual (hi)story of Scientology. History of Hubbard and how his "religion" came to be. Why "Celebrities" are drawn to it. The entire sci-fi aspect of this philosophy. However, this film does tell a very interesting story, none the less. Definitely worth watching.
Interesting look inside Scientology---very scary organization.
This was very interesting. I now intend to research this in more depth just for my own knowledge. I do not understand how people such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta can be 'brain-washed' into believing this doctrine. It is beyond my imagination. They must be really searching for something in their lives that is missing to be so accepting of these ideals. These certainly should be illegal as far as the wages and hours people are expected to work.
It's really scary that they can do what they do and get away with it. Great documentary.
Great documentary about the horrible abuses suffered by Scientology's prisoners around the world
This is an excellent documentary, and there is much other revealing information available regarding Scientology. How can so many obviously intelligent people buy into this crap? I have read all of Hubbards science fiction and he is a very entertaining writer, but realistically, it is all "fiction". Dianetics is so transparently fantasy, and Hubbard is (was) a complete nut job. Where do all these "serious" people come from? Would they otherwise be super susceptible to other cults? Travolta and Cruise are both extremely entertaining and talented actors. Is it just the coddling of these rich "entitled" persons that is so attractive? Where do all the sycophants come from?
If you've read a lot of books and web sites written by ex-Scientology members, as I have, this movie will be nothing new (aside from profiling Australian ex-members, instead of the usual Americans). However, if you haven't, it's a semi-good introduction to what Scientology is really about. The main question it doesn't even try to answer, which I think is very important, is WHY did these members stay with Scientology so long, WHY did they do the things they did within the cult. A discussion of mind control techniques would have been very appropriate, I think.
Pretty Scary stuff...Think this should be investigate further to see if more can be uncovered...yipes!
This is just another cult with a lot of blah blah blah who just wants to take money from their idiots followers as Tom Cruise and others. In my country, Brazil had a small House that I rented it to one of these sects called Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, in Portuguese: Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. Once I had the invitation to a cult, I went because I had the curiosity to know what they do in a cult. While there I heard one of the pastors telling to another "you will see that all this silly people here with the good brainwashing that we will make they will leave a lot of money" I really could not believe what was hearing. What they said in their cults is that the more you gives more the Lord Jesus will give you. I have a well known friend that she belongs to one of these sects, started to go slowly with a certain time she was completely given over to the sect, his life was for the sect. One day she had an accident and was in bed for more than 2 weeks without power to go to cults. Do you think that someone or any pastor came to visit her to find out if she needed something? NO ONE! Rather thought it was a member of cult that came over the house to speak with her and see when she will back to his administrative work in the sect wich was free! These sects only brain wash people. It's very strange that someone so educated and studied as Tom Cruise beyond fallen into their hands and feed them with his money.
It was interesting as I have little knowledge about Scientology.
Not very well rounded, only focusing on one part of Sientology.
Yes, there are many religions that make slaves of their followers by using fear to motivate and keep them. True religion uses "love for God" to motivate them. (1John5:3; 4:20)
What's been seen going on in the church or churches is one of the biggest and most deceitful and fraudulent scams that's probably ever been seen before. The Bible actually calls it treacherous deceit. A cover up, to pillage, deal deceitfully. Do a word search at blue letter bible on the internet. And the only reason it went on as long as it did is because of the people's generosity, And food intoxication. Either make the tree good and it's fruit good, or make it corrupt and it's fruit will be corrupt. Matt 12:33 LK 6:33 The church that belittles and makes light of the Law will eventually fall. ECCLESIASTICUS 19:20 How hard is it to make a decent effort? Sounds like the church needs to straighten up before it's found corrupt. Would your contribution to society be to feed hypocrisy? It's like kindling a fire.
What value has any church put on the HOLY BIBLE? The good seed. HOW many other books has it encouraged you to read? I've seen a lot that have put very little faith in THE HOLY BIBLE. And I've already heard how many other books it's tried to sell you that confirms that. PSALMS 124: 7 The reason I say that is, some churches take advantage of the people's desire to worship THE LORD JESUS, and their hopes of salvation. But to them THE LORD JESUS, the HOLY BIBLE and salvation are tools used to lure you to a church. Then the bait and switch takes place . You might want to read a blog. Type, blog youneed toread, type as 2 words critical. When seeking the GOD of compassion, we need a heart of humility ! And the next time you hear a sermon on radio or tv ask yourself a question. What does he know that he's keeping from other's.
The Old Testament sacrifices were symbolic of what all would be called to do. Have you ever noticed that when some churches try to make light of or belittle the Law it runs to the letters of paul ? And you probably never thought about why did you ? Would you like to know what you're not being told ? Especially if you attend church. Read a blog. type blog, youneed toread, type as 2 words critical. Some people have missed the message of the cross and the washing of the feet. And if you can grasp that then you know why. Have you ever heard the church speak about a rapture? Paul thought he would be alive when it was to take place. But he died waiting for it. Hopefully you won't. The church has said that a true prophet must be 100% accurate 100% of the time. Seems that was something else paul and the church missed ? OR did they ? Paul also spoke about a lot of unpredictable afflictions. Now what would be the significance of all the healings that took place on the Sabbath IN THE Gospel's? Suffering is a call to repent not the results of repentance. Paul's suffering was the results of his own disobedience. Click on user name for more. Now that yahoo has changed its format i had to find an old site. So if you would like to read the debates go to Unorthodox Celeb Moms and click on youneed. Would you like to know what the churches haven't told you ??
That was about as middle of the road as you can get. No revelations. Quite boring.
it could have been so much more...instead a trifling look, so superficial...looks to be very amateurish. very disappointing
This just confirms all the negative things I have heard about Scientology.
The "Scientology--The Ex-File" is an excellent account of how deceptive Scientology is. It enlightens one about human trafficking, abuse of children and adults, violation of labor laws, mind control etc. It reminds me of a cult.
Very enlightening. Boggles the mind and soul that these types of organizations are allowed to continue to run such a fraudulent organization. There have been many, many complaints, documentaries, books, etc. written about their abuse. Why does the government turn a blind eye? Something we should all be asking, and demanding answers to.
Great documentary on the pseudo religious cult of Scientology including accounts of human slavery, imprisonment, torture, kidnapping, stalking, and many instances of women workers, married women workers, forced to have abortions.
Tommy Davis stammers, blinks, looks away, and speaks as if reciting what he was told by others. You can tell in his eyes that he's lying. People are wondering how they can be called a church but the answer is easy. Money runs governments, scientology has money. I agree with dschweisguth - why not tell us how people are fooled by all this trash? People should know that religion is free or else it's a scam.
I have been reading about this cult-like religion and this film was a further enlightening experience about Scientology. I hadn't realized that there was so much abuse of its members. I am eager to read or watch all I can about it. This film was very well done, with very interesting people participating.
People who know about the horrors of Scientology will remember Lisa McPherson.
This is an exceptional piece of journalism and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do hope there will be follow-up on this cult as things move further along.
Anybody with common sense know that Scientology is about money and control. They always sound like such robots when they try to explain that their type of religion is to make you lead a happier life. How is that working for Tom Cruise these days since his ex-wife had to divorce him like a kidnapped victim who took her chance to run . Anybody who has that much money and power in any religion usually comes from greed and manipulation to the weaker folks who easily believe they just can not do it by themselves. They convince you of this as you are writing them a big fat money check. Even when entertainment stars brag about them they sound so fake its ridiculous . Fake religions like this and many more will always amount to control and money so none of this is NEW NEWS to me .
This is a frightening organization of mind control and torture. This piece followers along much as the latest book about the organization. It is amazing that they continue getting away with it. Their treatment of children who have parents working for the "Church" is horrendous. This piece should be seen by the world. The piece is excellently produced and giving it 4-stars is difficult because the organization is so terrible.
It's shocking that this is still going on today! Religion it is not, Cult it is. We should not be supporting people that follow this cult-Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kristi Alley the list goes on and on (remember they sign a billion year contract)!
I have always been suspicious of the "Church" of Scientology, and this short documentary confirms those suspicions. It is far more a cult, similar to Jim Jones and Jamestown, than a true religous organization. While the stories of those who had left the "church" were interesting, they were also incomplete, and left me with many questions. I would have preferred a longer and more thorough expose of this group.
Wow...disturbing...who's that scientology guy they interviewed...man he's made out of wax...weird...good documentary but I shook my head a lot while watching...it sounds crazy now. I'm sure the victims had good intentions to in the beginning...wow...crazy
Very Interesting movie. Sheds a lot of light on the whole subject.
Sick, Sick pupies to begin with. Weak and stupid people making these bastrds incrediby wealthy. All run by attornys! Great documentary
I can't believe that Scientology is even considered a religion. It is a corporation based on a book of science-fiction. My heart goes out to all of these families. <3
Could have been longer; also, had a sort of TV quality to it; more of a report than a documentary.
Seemingly objective documentary on behalf of the corrupt Scientology organization.
Very informative. One of the only films I have ever been able to find about this bizarre organization.
Very interesting but I could only think of the many other crazy cults out there that practice the same abuse. Just make them all pay taxes and then the veils of secrecy and cult practice will begin to erode.
It's unfortunate some people get suckered "in", especially at a young age. I'm surprised there aren't any more people coming out in the open with this. Obviously they are scared and afraid because they are being spied on and no sense of privacy. Absolutely insane.
Not a great documentary, but it covers an important subject. Scientology seems to generally keep under the radar. This film reveals the poor treatment and exploitation that many members are subject to.
Powerful. I wonder if the only reason they haven't been hauled up on charges of human trafficking is that they have infiltrated some of the organizations that should be investigating them.
A very good - if slight - expose' on this filthy degradation of human dignity.
Every adult American should see this, and learn of the bilious scam. They put up a cross, and go tax-free on billions of dollars that suckers give them.
I read that their goal is to get $300,000 from each sucker. Each should borrow money, and borrow from his parents.
informative but not engrossing. I was able to jump back and forth and have several convos on FB simultaneously so .....enuf said.
Terrific piece of work. Well thought, and put together extremely well.
Chilling expose' of an organization that is in no way a religion, but a business.
I'm so glad you had this available. with all the hoopla, I'm not familiar enough to understand the "big deal". Now, I am. Education is key. Go Katie. Cruise should watch this and make a public response. In defense of his religion. Thank you.Wow.
Very well done, and informative.
This is an engaging an enlightening documentary that focuses on ex-member testimony about the internal workings of the church, specifically the Sea Org. The direction plays an fairly objective back-and-forth between ex-members and a church spokesman.
I don't believe that is a church, its a cover up for a scam. We are just scraching the surface of it with this investigating. Need more investigating done.
Seems a bit prejudiced but there are answers needed.
This is just a start...
Engaging, but I think they hamstrung themselves by trying too hard for neutrality. A thorough investigation would be even more damning.
It doesn't seem to tell the whole story, like what may be positive about it that so many people join. It does tell how controlling they can be and how difficult it may be to leave.
Shocked. What a scam. What is scary is that smart people also fall for it. Excellent investigative reporting. This church should be outlawed all over the world. This is not a religion, its a cult.

On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart ridiculed the octopus logo for the recently launched spy satellite NROL-39. He quipped that the logo was one scared schoolgirl away form being a popular comic in Tokyo. And voilà, the show added just that.
"Yes, yes, I invented that type of porn. Yes, that was me." No, Stewart was not joking. He was dead serious.
Watch the clip below:
Online in the West, anime fans were quick to note that the character was Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi, the heroine of Henneko: The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat. The anime is heavy on fan service and innuendo, but it's not porn. No wonder this cameo is being called "unfortunate."
So how did this happen? On Twitter, @YouAreMother pointed out that Tsukiko is the first image that pops up when google image searching "hentai." Perhaps this explains why The Daily Show used an image of her as opposed to an actual anime porn character. Maybe?
As collected by Newsoku VIP Blog, photoshops also documented Stewart's secret anime porn infamy:

Sørensen, Carsten (2002) This is not an article - just some food for thoughts on how to write one. Working paper, 121. London School of Economics, London, UK.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
When we as researchers sit in solitude, just before (or after) the final deadline for submission, and fight a hard battle in order to finish our latest, newest, and definitely, best paper to date, we do not think much about it. When we post the paper to a journal or a conference, we do not think much about it either. But I bet that most of us do when we get reviews back, or when we get nasty questions when presenting the paper at a conference. Our own colleagues are often much too polite to tell the bitter truth that the paper is flawed, unfinished, and contentious. The following pages explores the question: How do I write a good article which both documents the body of research I have conducted, and which also "sells" the points I am trying to make? These pages contain some of the basic questions it is a good idea to have had considered before shipping the first draft off. They are based on my own subjective experiences with writing articles. It is my aim to present some of the basic rules I have learned, not the "full story". If you, when you have read these pages, try to apply the normative statements I forward in this paper, you will understand why I chose to call it "This is Not an Article — Just Some Food for Thought on How to Write One".

As a result, docks abound, and you only need to drop your line in for a few minutes to be successful. Although hubby brought along a full tackle box, they seemed to have the best...

The also have a 2 level salt-water pool, with a little waterfall. However, they are famous for 2 things – The Frozen Nipper, and their Sunday Pig...

This was our Favourite
Although we tried to eat at other restaurants on Guana Cay, we always seemed to end up at Guana Seaside. It's located at the end of the road, beyond where the pavement ends at the north end of the island so their motto of 'A little off the Beaten Path' certainly isn't an understatement. Located directly on the Sea of Abaco, it's easily accessible...
Great Guana Cay Transportation
Albury's Ferry Service
Unless you decide to rent a boat, or arrive by one, there's only 1 way to get around from Cay to Cay. Albury''s Ferry. From their 'hub' in Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco island (where the airport is located), they travel to and from the various cays several times each day. The company was founded in 1959, and is still owned and operated by the Albury...

Rent this Beauty!
Do you like the feel of the open road? Love to feel the wind in your hair? Then perhaps this is your way to go - rent a bike!Faster than walking, and much more quiet than golf carts, bicycles are a great way to get around Guana Cay and see the sights. Typical of island style, these bikes only have 1 gear and are reminiscent of days gone by, but...

Donna's Golf Cart Rentals
Once you arrive on Guana Cay, you will be met by the caretaker of the cottage you have rented, who will deliver you to your slice of paradise. From there on, you're on your own, and you'll probably want to get out and do some exploring. Because the island is so small, there are no rental cars. In fact, there are only a few cars and trucks on the...
Great Guana Cay Shopping
There are really only 2 places to buy groceries on Guana Cay. The first is Guana Grocery, which is about the size of a small 7-11. The other is Milo's Fruit Stand.
Each day, Milo can be found at his stand, making shell jewellery and chatting with passers-by. As you can see, the stand is very tiny, and was recently fully rebuilt by Milo and several locals, after it was totally destroyed by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004.
What to buy: He sells his handmade jewelery, locally caught fish and conch which has been freshly frozen and an assortment of fruit and veggies, which changes daily, depending on what is available. Milo also sells T-shirts, including his famous 'It's Gooder in Guana', a take off on the old ad slogan 'It's better in the Bahamas'.
What to pay: As usual, prices are high, but please don't barter. If you can afford to get to Guana, you can afford a little more for his products. Their cost of living is very high.Related to:- Family Travel

Every Place has it's special Beer
Abaco is no exception. I'm not a big beer fan, but I must admit, I liked Kalik. Whether its because of all the hype surrounding it, and the fact that it is very difficult to find other than in the Bahamas and occasionally in South Florida, but it definitely changed my mind about beer. It's available in the regular brew, and the 'hi-test', which...

Watch out for the Geckos!
As with most tropical destinations, Geckos abound in Abaco. This little guy here is the most common variety seen, although they usually curl their tails up over their backs.They are very fast, and impossible to catch, although my son tried and tried. And of course, they are harmless.

Enjoy Some Conch Salad
Conch is readily available in the waters around Abaco. It can be prepared many ways, the most common of which are Conch Fritters, breaded and deep fried, and Conch Salad.

Poison Ivy on Steroids
On Guana Cay, we noticed several familiar looking wild plants growing very large by comparison to the ones we have at home.Poison Wood is one example, as it looks very similar to our Poison Ivy.

Great Guana Cay What to Pack
Luggage and bags: You will definitely need a rolling cooler if you are staying at a rental cottage. On your arrival in Marsh Harbour, ask your driver to drop you at the grocery store and wait while you stock up on essentials. The selection in Marsh Harbour will be much better, and probably less expensive, than what is available on Guana Cay. We packed ours with our snorkel equipment for the plane, then moved the snorkel stuff into a backpack style dive bag on arrival in Marsh Harbour.
Also, when possible, stick to backpacks, so your hands will be free. Although your caretaker will pick you up at the ferry dock on arrival, depending on the location of your cottage, big rolling suitcases may be more trouble.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Here's where you can go really light. On Guana Cay, it is totally acceptable for ladies to throw on a pair of shorts over a bathing suit, even if going for lunch. Men can also wear a T-shirt but this is not required.
In a nutshell, for a week, you'll need:
bathing suits
Tevas/water shoes
1 sundress
If travelling non-summer, also bring:
long pants
light jacket
Also, be sure to bring a large T-shirt or other form of cover up, as the sun there gets really hot, especially during the summer. SPF will help protect you from burning, but not from heat-stroke.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The usual, but don't forget sunscreen (30 SPF) and bug spray.
We brought Immodium, but never used it (and I always need it!)
Photo Equipment: Perhaps this is a bit extravagant, but think about splurging on an underwater housing for your digital camera. The 3rd largest barrier reef in the world is 50 feet off-shore in some places, and the snorkeling is amazing.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: We brought along 2 beach umbrellas to leave behind, but that was another story altogether. Great idea, but only if you have really packed light, and your cottage doesn't already have one.
We also brought along collapsible fishing rods & tackle, as well as our own masks, snorkels & fins. If travelling with kids, check to see if your cottage provides appropriate PFDs.
Miscellaneous: We found the Cruisers Guide to Abaco to be invaluable. Written by Steve Dodge, The 'Dodge Guide' as it's commonly referred is mandatory if you plan to boat in and around Abaco, as it has maps and charts indicating the location of all the shoals, reefs, rocks in the area, water depth, etc. Even if you're not boating, its a great reference tool, with tides charts, VHF listings, advertisements for local establishments, etc., as well as some great photos. You can order it online at www.whitesoundpress.com
I think another 'must have' would be a journal, to write down everything you did. We were so busy during our week, that if I didn't spend half an hour each morning recording what we did the previous day, it would have all been lost in a blur.Related to:- Family Travel
Great Guana Cay Off The Beaten Path
Our last night on Guana Cay was very low-key, as we were all sad that we had to leave. Hubby fixed us up with a couple of his famous frozen Rum & Coke Roadies, and Koolade for the kids, and we headed across the road to the deserted Coco Paradise resort for a last look at the beautiful colours of the Atlantic.
While there, we noticed a couple of large hermit crabs scurrying around. Hubby rummaged around in the deserted kitchen and came out with an old, rusted chafing dish to put the crabs in so we could watch them. After a few minutes, we put in a piece of shingle they could use as a ramp to climb out. Let me tell you, hermits aren't that bright, as even when we put them on the ramp, they would try to climb back in. They finally figured out how to get out, but they must have thought they were on a very long road home, as they kept going round and round the top, sometimes lapping the slower ones.
After about 10 minutes, we decided they had had enough, and we picked them off the top, and let them go.Related to:- Family Travel

Class: | Mammalia |
Order: | Soricomorpha |
Family: | Talpidae |
Subfamily: | Talpinae |
Tribe: | Desmanini |
Genus: | Desmana Güldenstädt, 1777 |
Species: | D. moschata |
Binomial name | |
Desmana moschata (Linnaeus, 1758) |
Russian desman range |
The Russian desman (Desmana moschata) (Russian: выхухоль) is a small semiaquatic mammal that inhabits the Volga, Don and Ural River basins in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It constructs burrows into the banks of ponds and slow-moving streams, but prefers small, overgrown ponds with abundance of insects, crayfish and amphibians. The Russian desman often lives in small (usually not related) groups of two to five animals, and appears to have a complex (but largely unstudied) communication and social system.
The Russian desman is one of two surviving species of the tribe Desmanini, the other being the Pyrenean desman (Galemys pyrenaicus).[3] Despite its outward similarity to muskrats (a rodent), the Russian desman is actually part of the mole family Talpidae in the order Soricomorpha. Like other moles, it is functionally blind and obtains much of its sensory input from the touch-sensitive Eimer's organs at the end of its long, bilobed snout. However, the hind feet are webbed and the tail is laterally flattened —specializations for its aquatic habitat. The body is 18 to 21 cm (7.1 to 8.3 in) long while the tail is 17 to 20 cm (6.7 to 7.9 in) in length. Easily the largest species of mole, it weighs 400 to 520 g (14 to 18 oz).[citation needed]
Decidedly rich and thick in nature, desman fur used to be highly sought after by the fur trade. Consequently, the Russian desman is now a protected species under Russian law. However, due to loss of habitat (farming), water pollution, illegal fishing nets, and the introduction of non-native species (e.g., muskrat), population levels continue to decline. In the mid-1970s, an estimated 70,000 desmans were left in the wild; by 2004, the figure was only 35,000.[4] However, in some Russian regions,[which?] the number of desmans appears to be increasing.[citation needed]

Jonathan Epperson
I am 6'1" and ~200 lbs.; will a 158 be a good sizefor me if I want to ski in both suboptimal midwest conditions as well as powder?
Jared Downs
At 200 pounds, I'd think you'd be more inline with a 163cm. If you're against riding a 163cm board then I'd go with the 160cm.
I rode a 160 Burton Custom (2 weeks ago) and am a 180 pound rider and felt it rode nicely for it's length and my weight.
This board will excel in teh suboptiomal midwest conditions your speaking of and can handle powder but you won't be blown away with this deck in powder. I'd say this board is 90% hardpack 10% pow.

dc.description | Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2002. | en_US |
dc.description | Includes bibliographical references. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Pornography deserves special protections, it is often said, because it qualifies as speech; therefore, no matter what we think of it, we must afford it the protections that we extend to most speech, but don't extend to other actions. In response, it has been argued that the case is not so simple: one of the harms of pornography, it is claimed, is that it silences women's speech, thereby preventing women from deriving from speech the very benefits that warrant the special protections in the first place. This dissertation offers a way of making sense of the view that pornography silences women. In Chapter 1, I develop an account of silencing which, unlike other accounts of the same phenomenon, helps make clear why a speaker who is silenced is thereby deprived of the benefits that led us to place a special value on speech. In Chapter 2, I respond to an objection that purports to show that, even if women are silenced, pornography cannot be responsible: in fact, according to this objection, the responsibility for any instance of silencing cannot lie with any party other than the speaker and the audience involved. I show that this objection relies on an overly simplistic picture of what audiences can reasonably be required to do in a speech situation; I also offer an alternate picture, which leaves open the possibility that a speaker may be silenced in a context in which both she and her audience behave competently. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | (cont.) In Chapter 3, I consider a view about the way in which pornography contributes to the silencing - and more generally, to the subordination - of women. I argue that this view fails because it is too individualistic: it ignores how the social and political context in which the pornography is consumed helps determine whether it subordinates. I then make some suggestions about what a more satisfactory view would be. Though pornography is the principal case study throughout this dissertation, much of what I say generalizes to other forms of representation that set limits on what speakers are able to convey. The main aim of my discussion is to contribute to the philosophical and feminist understanding of communication, by showing how an individual's social role can constrain her possibilities as a speaker. | en_US |

24 CFR 115.305 - Special enforcement effort (SEE) funds.
SEE funds are funds that HUD may provide to an agency to enhance enforcement activities of the agency's fair housing law. SEE funds will be a maximum of 20 percent of the agency's total FHAP cooperative agreement for the previous contract year, based on approval of eligible activity or activities, and contingent upon the appropriation of funds. All agencies receiving contributions funds are eligible to receive SEE funds if they meet three of the six criteria set out in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section:

The agency has had in the most recent three years, or is currently engaged in, at least one major fair housing systemic investigation requiring an exceptional amount of funds expenditure;
The agency's administration of its fair housing law received meritorious mention for its fair housing complaint processing or other fair housing activities that were innovative. The meritorious mention criterion may be met by an agency's successful fair housing work being identified and/or published by a reputable source. Examples of meritorious mention include, but are not limited to:
An article in a minority newspaper or a newspaper of general circulation that identifies the agency's role in the successful resolution of a housing discrimination complaint;
A letter from a sponsoring organization of a fair housing conference or symposium that identifies the agency's successful participation and presentation at the conference or symposium;
A letter of praise, proclamation, or other formal documentation from the mayor, county executive, or governor recognizing the fair housing achievement of the agency.
The agency has completed the investigation of at least 10 fair housing complaints during the previous funding year.
Regardless of whether an agency meets the eligibility criteria set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, an agency is ineligible for SEE funds if:
Twenty percent or more of an agency's fair housing complaints result in administrative closures; or
Title 24 published on 2014-04-01

Welcome page ...
Strategic management is an integrative capstone course the only course
that challenges students to study and experience sets of multifunctional
problems that confront top management. The course will allow students
to bring together all of their learned functional skills (i.e., accounting,
finance, marketing, etc.) and use them to study organizational problems
within the context of real-world business case studies.
The objectives of Strategic Management 499 are:
Procedures to accomplish these objectives include: readings, cases,
lectures, class discussions, videos, written reports, and an internet-based
business strategy computer simulation.
The main pedagogical thrust of this course is case study. Therefore, the best way to learn from cases (and active discussion among students) is through preparation. Preparation for cases normally contains the following elements:
WRITTEN (and ORAL) CASE REPORTS
Each team of students is offered considerable flexibility to choose assignments and grading weights/distribution, etc. for the case reports. Please meet with your team members and choose wisely ... you have to stick with the scheme you choose for the entire semester! Case reports [written or oral] that you choose to do are due on the date we plan to discuss in class (see MGT 499 Course Schedule).
Step 1:
Each team will choose three cases to do a report on, among 9
cases scheduled throughout the semester.
Please consult the Guidelines for Written
and Oral Case Reports. for, of course, guidelines and Your reports will be graded according to the level
of professionalism (in both substance and aesthetics). . Late papers
will carry a substantial penalty (i.e., drop five points for each
day past the due date).
are also located at Guidelines
for Written and Oral Case Reports
The following table contains both individual and group assignments required
for the course:
1. Capstone Simulation Performance (Group) | 10% |
2. Capstone Pre-Game Written Report (Group) | 10% |
3. Capstone Post-Game Written Report (Group) | 10% |
4. Case Reports (three, Group or Individ.) | 50% |
5. Corporate Social Responsibility Report (Group) | 10% |
6. Participation (Individ.) | 10% |
The class will be organized into three-person teams to carry out the Capstone simulation. In forming these teams, please consider both the expertise of each of the team members across functional areas (i.e., marketing, finance, accounting, etc.) and scheduling flexibility (i.e., ability of team member to meet out of class). A team that is functionally diverse may be more likely to do better than a team of all accounting majors, for example. So, dont just pick your friends as teammates as this type of group work has been known to occasionally strain friendships.
After a pre-game briefing and practice session, teams will be required to conduct EIGHT (8) official decisions. Groups will be evaluated on the outcome of the simulation (i.e., the groups company stock price, market share, profit, etc.) as well as two 5-page written briefs (to be discussed later).
In order for the class to stick to the decision schedule, it is absolutely
imperative that all decision are uploaded via the web on the due date:
late uploads will not be accepted. Keep in mind that the Capstone simulation
comprises 30% of your grade.
All students are required to subscribe to the appropriate to the MGT
499 LISTSERV e-mail list (email@example.com). This LISTSERV list will
be used for: a) correspondence between instructor and the class, 2) discussion
about course topics, 3) correspondence between student teams, etc.
Please see the course web site for instructions (http://www.uky.edu/~wallyf/list499.html)
One of the critical factors in making this course a successful experience for everyone is the quality of student participation. Thus, students are expected to read all assignments before class and contribute to class discussions. The solutions to case and theory problems in this course can and will be varied. Often, the most complete understanding of and best solutions for important issues and challenges are arrived at only after substantial class debate and discussion; that is, learning from one another.
Meaningful participation could consist of any of the following:
You are expected to attend all scheduled class meetings. Much of the most important material and perspectives relevant to successful case reports are covered in class. In addition, failure to attend regularly will result in a poor participation score

Three-dimensional optical metamaterials as model systems for longitudinal and transverse magnetic coupling
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 26, pp. 21233-21238 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (612 KB)
In this paper, we demonstrate that metamaterials represent model systems for longitudinal and transverse magnetic coupling in the optical domain. In particular, such coupling can lead to fully parallel or antiparallel alignment of the magnetic dipoles at the lowest frequency resonance. Also, we present the design scheme for constructing three-dimensional metamaterials with solely magnetic interaction. Our concept could pave the way for achieving rather complicated magnetic materials with desired arrangements of magnetic dipoles at optical frequencies.

Late 18th century: probably from the ballad Chevy Chase, celebrating a skirmish (probably the battle of Otterburn, 1388) on the Scottish border. Originally a noun denoting a hunting cry, the term later meant 'a pursuit', hence the verb 'to chase, worry' (mid 19th century).
This is probably from the ballad Chevy Chase, celebrating a skirmish (probably the battle of Otterburn in 1388) on the Scottish border. Chevy and chivy are early spellings. It was originally used as a word for a hunting cry; later to mean 'a pursuit', and so developed the sense 'to chase, worry' in the mid 19th century.

AS number assignment criteria
Marten Terpstra
Tue Jul 19 11:31:38 CEST 1994
* 3 - "To identify single-homed ASes." * They connect to a service provider or to another enterprise and * use external routing. The other end tells them they need an ASN. * Strictly speaking they do not need one, because they can only have * one external policy. * The question now is: Should we assign ASNs to those in category 3 * who request it because their ISP requires it? * This is a potentially large number. * * Opinions? Potentially the ISP can request an AS because it can enforce a stricter policy on its client than on its own AS. It can for instance say that the customer AS will not be announced to XX where the AS of the provider itself could be announced to XX. Unlikely, but a different policy possibly needing an AS...... -Marten
