Warm weather returns just in time for the third Downtown New Bern ArtWalk of the year on Friday. It features several new venues and an array of exhibits that range from food paintings, garden art, wool sculptures, an environmental exhibit and children's drawings interpreted into three-dimensional art.
Then, there is the popular Bohemian Night, featuring dozens of local artists and other creative folk at the Isaac Taylor Garden.
There are 18 stops on this month's self-guided walking tour. A map and listing is found on the ArtWalk guide card, which features cover art by James Herring.
The Craven Arts Council has its temporary ticket office at 308 George St. during renovations to its home gallery, the Bank of the Arts on Middle Street. For this ArtWalk, the council's newest exhibit takes residence in Duffy Gallery at the North Carolina History Center on South Front Street.
Another new venue is the historic City Laundry Building on Pollock Street, which is also home office for Ratio Theatre. The old laundry art facilities will host an environmental exhibit, "Gathering," a massive interactive, multimedia installation sculpture.
The Antiquery Boutiquery Place on Craven Street joins the tour, with a wine and cheese reception from 5 to 8 p.m.
Caroline McGath Newborn Photography celebrates Mother's Day weekend, with "Mommy and Me" photo sessions in the New Bern Sculpture Park at the corner of Middle and Broad streets, across from her studio. The park features the Tom Grubb sculpture, "Morning Star."
Here is a look at some of the venues and their offerings:
* The Craven Arts Council & Gallery dishes out "A Visual Feast" at the Duffy Gallery in the North Carolina History Center. It is the temporary exhibit hall for the council while renovations continue at the Bank of the Arts.
The food-centric theme is inspired by Tryon Palace's year-long program, "Fresh from the Past: Food and Culture in Eastern North Carolina."
Throughout the year Tryon Palace is offering movies, tours and lectures exploring African-American cooking and culture.
North Carolina's contributions to cuisine are known far and wide as the birthplace of Pepsi and home to the Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Participating artists include: Sally Anger, Brenda Behr, Chris Bennett, Rich Daniels, Janet Dixon, Jill Eberle, Janet Francoeur, Robert Hennon, Jane Horner, Bill Lease, Ed Macomber, GeeVee Meyer, Tricia Oniskey, Lou Plummer, Rob Rigsby Jr., Sally Rowe, Carolyn Sleeper, Elizabeth Spencer and Carol Tokarski.
The exhibit continues through the end of June.

* Carolina Creations Fine Art and Contemporary Craft Gallery on Pollock Street opens its fourth annual Garden Art Show for May and June.
The show will include garden-inspired art and distinctive hand-crafted garden art. It features paintings and tile wall hangings by Jan Francoeur; whirligigs by Gary Lenz; Peace Poles with art by Stephanie Burgess; blown glass garden twirls by glass blower Gary Guydosh; birdhouses, birdfeeders and birdbaths by Paul Anthony and Steve Fabrico; wind chimes by Hazel Olsen, Keith Neissel and Roxann Chalfant; garden stakes by Catherine Murphy; blown glass gazing balls by Lisa Oakley, among others.
The shop will also host special guest artist Melissa Gray, who raises sheep, shears them and processes the wool. Using needle felting techniques, she creates wool sculptures, which she will be demonstrating.
A wine and cheese reception is also planned.
* New Bern ArtWorks Fine Art Gallery presents "Imaginings" by local artist Jill Eberle. It is described as "kid's art meets classical painting." The paintings will be on view through June 30. A reception will be held during ArtWalk.
Last year, Eberle asked Melissa Giglio, then the art teacher at Arapahoe Charter School, to have her first-grade students each draw a monster. Eberle then made a careful tracing of the child's drawing and interpreted it as a three-dimensional realistic creature in an environment. Each piece uses classic oil painting techniques and some include imagery from well-known historical art works. The results are captivating creatures — cute, scary, charming or just odd —that glimpse into the minds of both the children and the artist.
The child's drawing is displayed along with the painting it inspired.
"The kids' drawings are full of imagination," Eberle said. "As I began developing the tracings, they suddenly appeared rich with character and strong emotions. Creating these paintings has tapped into my own early memories and challenged my representational painting skills as I try to create a logical anatomy and scenario for each creature."
She acknowledges Dave Devries' Monster Engine as the impetus for this idea.
Eberle maintains in a studio above New Bern Artworks and exhibits her work throughout the region. Venues for recent solo and small group shows include the Imperial Centre in Rocky Mount, Greenville Museum of Art, Theatre Art Gallery in High Point and the Greenhill Center in Greensboro.
* Bohemian artists of New Bern joined together earlier this week to plan for demonstrating creativity during Artwalk at Isaac Taylor Garden in downtown New Bern.
Bohemian Night at the Greater Good Gallery, 228 Craven St., will be entertaining while BOHO artists demonstrate their talents to inspire others to become creative.
Many creative folks will be sketching, painting, performing, reading poetry, and throwing clay including the artists in the photo: Tracy Marcrum, Heather Main, Susan Spirko, Chris Wagner, Dan Wilson, Meg Wethington, Jerry Scott, Norm Holmberg, Blaine Kruger, Sue Lawrence, Michaele' Rose Watson, Jon Derby, Ed Macomber, Nancy Zachewicz, Sam Love, Lee Hood, Jenny Turnage, Andrea Owens, Lisa Bisbee, Allesandro, Mattie Cordio, Sara Arje and Janice Peterson.
For more infoemation, email email@example.com.
* The Cogs & Wheels Project presents its first annual exhibit, "Gathering," during ArtWalk.
"Gathering" will be open to the public to celebrate the completion of a large interactive, multimedia installation sculpture. Over the past four months, parents, students, and teachers from Craven County Schools have been working on Saturday mornings under the direction of Blake Wiggs and artist Jane E. Horner.
The reception and event is at the historic City Laundry Building, 901-B Pollock St.
On Saturday, the exhibit will be open to the public for "Environmental & Educational Outreach."
According to the organizers, the Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation, engineers from the city of New Bern, Coastal Environmental Partnership, various other environmental groups and artist Bonnie Monteleone will be on site to answer questions about storm-water runoff issues in CravenCounty.
Michele Cudd will perform modern dance Friday and poet Meg Wethington will provide "spoken word" for both days.
Community partners for the event are Craven Arts Council and Gallery; Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation; Craven County Schools; Kathy and Peter Adolph; and Bern Investment Group.
On the web:
* The Tryon Palace Museum Store at the North Carolina History Center will host "Honey Hill Bees," local honey, tasting and demonstrations.
* The Next Chapter Bookstore on South Front Street will feature folk artist Tessie Ann Adams.
* The Accidental Artist on Craven Street offers free studio time from 6 to 9 p.m. Reservations are encouraged. Call 634-3411.

GAVIN RICH, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says Bryan Habana needs creative players around him if he's to start scoring tries at Test level again.
Not since Percy Montgomery and his white boots invoked the ire of the Loftus crowd in a Tri-Nations match in 1999 has a Springbok been jeered and heckled as mercilessly as Bryan Habana was by the Bloemfontein crowd last season. Poor Habana looked like he had no place to hide as his own supporters turned on him during a first half against Australia in which he was cruelly exposed several times on defence and in which he looked incapable of catching the ball without making a mistake.
For Habana it was surely the nadir of a career which was highlighted by him winning the IRB Player of the Year award just three seasons previously. The award in 2007 was always going to go to the top performer at the World Cup, and Habana's eight tries in the tournament, including four in the opening match against Samoa, equalled the record set by Jonah Lomu in 1999 for the number of tries scored by an individual at rugby's showpiece event.
So it has been quite a slide for Habana, and the statistics appear to back up the perception of his critics that his match-winning abilities are on the wane. At the end of 2007, after three full seasons in the green and gold, Habana had scored 30 tries for his country. Back then you would have predicted that by now he would have advanced to a point where his number of tries matched Jacques Kallis's batting average. But Habana is nowhere near the mid-50s, and Joost van der Westhuizen's aggregate tally of 38 Test tries for the Boks still has to be eclipsed. That is the number of tries next to Habana's name now, yet he equalled Van der Westhuizen's record as long ago as June of last year.
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers said during the Tri-Nations that what was stumping Habana was his eagerness to break the record. Yet that cannot explain why in the three years since the World Cup he has only scored eight times. He wasn't on the cusp of the record in 2008, when he only scored two tries in the entire season.
Neither is it just Habana's strike rate that has bred him a phalanx of critics questioning his worth. It was his defensive play more than any weaknesses in his attacking game that most contributed to the crescendo of boos and jeers in the Bloemfontein Test.
In that game and the one in Pretoria the previous week, the Wallabies were all over the Boks in the first half – and the misalignment of Habana's spot tackles were a contributing factor in forcing the Boks to play catch-up on both occasions.
It was Habana, as much as the then out-of-form skipper John Smit, the critics were thinking of when they slammed De Villiers for not being strong enough to make big selection calls and sacrifice senior players.
And yet, for all this black and white statistical evidence weighing against Habana, there are a few things which just don't add up and which should prompt deeper probing and analysis of where and why it appears to be going wrong for him.
For a start, where were the question marks over Habana's pace and finishing ability when he scored two tries in his first Newlands appearance in a Stormers jersey against the Waratahs last February? Yes, there was carping from some Cape critics who think every ball should be thrown to the wing and who felt that Habana's attacking ability was not utilised properly in the Stormers' system.
But Habana never once let the Stormers down; he scored tries when it was on to do so, and it is hard to recall him producing the errors that blighted him at Springbok level. Moreover, the Stormers ended the Super 14 with a phenomenal defensive record and there were none of the question marks that were to plague Habana in the Tri-Nations.
The Stormers conceded an average of just over one try per match, so clearly there was no defensive weakness. Neither was it a case of Habana losing form in the Tri-Nations and then going into an irreversible slide. Some aspects of the claims made by the Bok management after a series of tests conducted during the Bok camp last September were questioned, but there was no reason to disbelieve the contention that Habana was quicker than ever.
Certainly when he returned to rugby for Western Province against the Sharks at Newlands he showed the kind of pace that has played such a big part in his success. Habana was sharp in the WP jersey, and it led us to expect him to be the same for the Boks in the UK and Ireland. He wasn't, so why is that?
There are no clear answers, but the question could be at least partially answered if you go back to Habana's humble speech when he accepted his IRB Player of the Year award in Paris. He refused to accept all the credit for what he achieved, and instead pointed to those around him.
He reminded everyone that rugby is a team game, and the man he singled out for particular mention as the architect of what had gone right for both himself and the Boks was scrumhalf Fourie du Preez.
Some might say it was false modesty, but those who have heard former All Blacks wing Jeff Wilson talk at coaching courses will get a strong sense of what Habana was on about. It is Wilson's view that a wing is almost completely reliant on the creators around him.
Wilson does have a point. Jonah Lomu, with his massive bulk and strength, was a rare and almost unique example of a winger who could force his way over for tries from almost impossible situations. For the most part wings tend to take credit for what has been done around them, just as goal-kickers often steal the limelight from the hard-working forwards who create the pressure that leads to the penalties.
Is it stretching it to suggest that part of the reason Habana looks off for the Boks but remains sharp in a Stormers jersey is because in one team he has Morné Steyn as his flyhalf and in the other he has Peter Grant? One player asks questions of the opposing defences, thus creating more opportunities out wide, the other does it much less so.
It wasn't just Habana who looked bankrupt on attack in the Bok jersey last season, the entire backline did. There was a rush to blame Bok assistant coach Dick Muir for this, but there has been nothing wrong with the attacking potency of the other backlines that Muir has coached.
Unfortunately no one had the guts to do what should have been done by giving Pat Lambie an opportunity to start in a Test, but all the Bok management – and this includes De Villiers – were astounded at the effect that the 20-year-old Sharks flyhalf had on the backs in training sessions during the last end-of-year tour.
Lambie did show how effective the backs could be with him at pivot in his brief cameo in his debut match in Dublin. Those who doubt this view should take a look at the try scored by Gio Aplon when Lambie was on the field – where did it come from and who created it? Lambie's ability to take the ball and pass it accurately from the gainline played a big part.
There wasn't too much of that last year from the Boks, and, to be honest, neither was there in South Africa's successful 2009 season, where percentage rugby was the key to the resounding Tri-Nations triumph.
During that southern hemisphere competition there was a moment when the Boks might have given some insight into why Habana may appear to be struggling. In the match in Perth the Boks shocked the Aussies by running the ball. It was their best running performance in ages, and Habana scored a brace.
Of course, given the strategy of the Bulls and Bok teams he has played for, it would be no surprise to find that a high percentage of Habana's tries across all levels have come off kick and chase, and several were also the product of intercepts which capitalise on the panic of opponents who have been squeezed.
But given the opportunity, Habana has been as fine a finisher of opportunities that have been created for him as anyone who has played the game. So it would probably be reasonable to assume Habana would have added significantly to his try-scoring tally had he been in the side on the other day (apart from Perth) in recent memory when the Boks were in the business of creating tries for their wings.
That was in the 53-8 win over Australia in the last Tri-Nations match of 2008. Jongi Nokwe scored four tries, but every one of those tries was laid on a platter for Nokwe, all he needed was his pace to finish off.
What was significant about that game was that it was the last that Butch James played as the first-choice starting flyhalf. In the initial days of De Villiers's reign as national coach the Boks suffered from confusion in the messages sent out, and James was an obvious victim, but he showed at Ellis Park against the Aussies just why someone like Habana thrived more prior to 2007 than he has subsequently.
Although often accused of being too conservative, one thing that the previous Bok coach Jake White was always set against was a flyhalf who made a habit of standing in the pocket. It was why Willem de Waal never got to feature under White, not even for an end-of-year tour where some critics felt he might prove beneficial, and Derick Hougaard only played for the Bok 'B team' in the 2007 Tri-Nations.
Some may now ask why it was that Habana scored so many tries for the Bulls when Hougaard was wearing No 10, but there is an easy answer for that which goes back again to Habana's acceptance speech in Paris in 2007 – Fourie du Preez.
It is all about the men on the inside asking questions of the opposition, and Du Preez does that in abundance. It is probably the reason that Steyn looks a more potent attacking force and attacking catalyst when he is present. Of course Du Preez wasn't present last year, and the Bok kicking game and attacking game suffered, and as a consequence Habana was made to look second rate.
Lambie probably hasn't been given enough Test experience to be risked as a starter at a World Cup and the Boks are unlikely to move Ruan Pienaar back to flyhalf now, but the return of Du Preez, even more so if coupled with the selection of James, could just see Habana repeat in 2011 what he did in 2007.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, today made the following comments regarding the President's statement on the fiscal cliff.
"Stronger economic growth will do more to create jobs, increase family incomes, and slash the federal budget deficit than any tax increase or new government spending program, " Brady said.
"The election is over. Now Congress and President Obama should focus on getting Americans back to work."
"As we address the looming fiscal cliff, we must avoid any action that would hamper economic growth. Instead, we must accelerate growth. This "slow and low flying" recovery remains the weakest on record since World War II. Real GDP is $1.2 trillion lower than it would be if this recovery had just been average. Strong private sector growth would generate the tax revenues under current rates to reduce our budget deficit substantially. Let's focus on growing the pie, instead of on how we divide it."

If Easter is a celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection, how did the Easter bunny and other traditions get involved?
The name Easter, itself, is thought to have originated from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre or possibly Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The name is not found in the Christian bible.
"There is no doubt that the Church in its early days adopted the old pagan customs and gave a Christian meaning to them," The American Book of Days states. "As the festival of Eostre was in celebration of the renewal of life in the spring it was easy to make it a celebration of the resurrection from the dead of Jesus, whose gospel they preached."
Easter traditions date back to the Chaldeans, or Babylonians — long before Jesus walked the earth.
"Modern-day Easter is derived from two ancient traditions: one Judeo-Christian and the other Pagan," according to consultants at religioustolerance.org. "Both Christians and Pagans have celebrated death and resurrection themes following the Spring Equinox for millennia."
The celebrated day was selected to follow along with the Northern Hemisphere's vernal equinox, which occurs generally on March 20, depending on the year, and marks the beginning of spring.
But the date was long-disputed in the Middle Ages and the Eastern church still follows the Julian calendar, The Oxford Companion to British History states.
The traditions associated with Easter include bunnies, colored eggs, grass-filled baskets, hot cross buns, new clothing and sunrise services.
Rabbits are well-known symbols of fertility because of their rapid procreativity — hence the saying, "multiplying like rabbits." Symbols of hares were used in ancient European and Middle Eastern pagan spring festivals, Britannica states.
Eggs were also used in fertility rites and decorated eggs were thought to bring happiness, prosperity, health and protection, according to Traditional Festivals: A Multicultural Encyclopedia.
In Europe, children would build nests and whistle or use charms to attract rabbits, said to lay eggs, according to The Oxford Companion to British History.
Even the wearing of a new Easter outfit stems from cult beliefs. "The Giant Book of Superstitions" brings out it is bad luck not to greet Eastre, a Scandinavian goddess, in new attire.
Sunrise services date back to the ancient rite of welcoming the sun and its power to bring about new life, according to The Complete Book of American Holidays.
A cross or a stake?
"The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch (Passover) or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now," the book "The Two Babylons" states.
The cross on the bun symbolizes the cross upon what many religions say Jesus died. But its origins, like the name Easter, go back well before the resurrection.
"The cross was a pagan symbol long before it acquired everlasting significance from the events of the first Good Friday, and bread and cakes were sometimes marked with it in pre-Christian times," states the book "Easter and Its Customs."
The variations of the symbol of the cross date back to ancient times. One form that later was used in the Coptic Church can be found in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a T-shaped symbol was used in Babylonto represent the god, Tammuz.
"In spite of the overwhelming symbolism of the cross, the precise shape of the object on which Jesus was crucified cannot be proven explicitly from the Bible," says gotquestions.org.
Christendom adopted the symbol, according to "Curiosities of Popular Customs," as religious leaders could not rid the church of pagan symbols. It was an easy mingling of spiritual beliefs to celebrate the rising of the sun with the rising of the son.
The Greek word translated as cross is stauros. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words states the word "denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake."
In the 1896 book "The Non-Christian Cross," John Denham Parsons explains there is no evidence in the Greek scriptures, or New Testament, to indicate the stauros was made of two pieces of timber, nor was a cross the primary meaning for stauros in the apostles' day.
Another Greek word used in the bible is xylon, which translates as stake or tree. In fact, the King James Version, as well as other versions, translates xylon as reading in Acts 5:30 as, "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree."
The Companion Bible says, "The evidence is thus complete, that the Lord was put to death upon an upright stake, and not on two pieces of timber placed at any angle."
The two became one
"By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D.," the Greek scholar W.E. Vine states, "the churches had either departed from, or had travestied, certain doctrines of the Christian faith. In order to increase the prestige of the apostate ecclesiastical system pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols."
There is no mention in the bible or historic artifacts of first-century Christians venerating or owning symbols of the cross. Neither does the bible declare the celebration of the resurrection as a holiday for Christians.
It does, however, command Christians to memorialize the death of Jesus on the Passover, said Andrew Foster, an elder at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Snow Hill.
According to the gospels of the bible, the Christ gave bread and wine to his disciples on the Jewish Passover day, made a covenant with them to be in his kingdom and said, "Do this in remembrance of me."
That day is memorialized annually on Nisan 14 according to the Jewish calendar, Foster said.
Why the traditions continue
"The history of the church, you know, Christianity," Wanda Neely, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, said, "has always had traditions."
Neely, who had been putting up Easter paraphernalia in the church earlier this month, said palm branches were a symbol of victory and triumph, which evolved into a symbol of peace. Eventually, Jesus being greeted with palm branches as he rode on a colt into Jerusalem became a symbol of peace, she said.
"Many of the symbols and traditions," Neely said, "that are used around the holy days and our celebrations came from secular culture."
She said there is a link between the divine and the secular world, and she believes God appears on earth every day amongst the secular world.
"It's pretty incredible," she said, "God came in human form, conquered death and came back to here."
Patricia Keesee, office manager at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, said her church puts on an Easter egg hunt and displays Easter lilies and candles.
She acknowledged Easter eggs as originated from pagan customs, but said the candles represent the light of Christ and the lilies as new birth.
"We really don't discuss that in mass," Keesee said when asked how the church explains the use of pagan customs with the worship of God. "We have (the egg hunt) because the children have grown accustomed to it."
She said the children, however, are taught the "true meaning of Easter — the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
Jehovah's Witnesses use no pagan symbols in their worship, Foster said.
"That's kind of worshiping the creation instead of the Creator," he said. "… I guess the world will find any way to celebrate that they can, whether it's Easter eggs, bonnets, chickens, bunnies, which really have nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus."

Our approach to these problems often uses techniques from machine learning. Brown Robotics aims to enable reproducibility and interoperability of our research and development work within robotics and across society. Brown Robotics is an active contributor to the ROS effort through our brown-ros-pkg repository.
In collaboration with Bosch Research, we are starting to get the PR2 Remote Lab up-and-running. Check out the introductory video for a look at some of the Remote Lab features.
The PR2 Remote Lab is a web-centered remote robot laboratory comprising a PR2 and the hardware/software infrastructure necessary for making it available for public Internet use. This remote laboratory is designed to allow a wide group of researchers to conduct experiments on a PR2 robot. The infrastructure used to create this lab is open source and can be used to interact with any PR2 robot, and any robot running ROS. This site provides documentation to allow users to begin to interact with the robot in the remote lab as well as to use this documentation with any PR2 robot.
Much of the software we develop is available through the Brown Ros Package collection, which features:

Senior from Richlands, Virginia
Major: Management and Marketing in the College of Business and Economics
Campus Involvement: Risk Management and Bylaws Chair of the Radford University Omicron Sigma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, Member of the College of Business and Economics Dean's Student Advisory Council, and student Office of Admissions tour guide
McKinzey Sayers has high expectations for his future – to obtain a marketing position within a Fortune 500 company. Following high school graduation, he knew exactly where he could start working toward that goal: Radford University.
With three family members calling Radford their alma mater, Sayers was very familiar with the campus and how it prepped his family members for their careers. By continuing the family legacy, Sayers saw the opportunity to flourish.
"I saw how successful my family had become after graduation and I wanted to do the same," he said. "Radford's gorgeous, medium-sized campus and the small class sizes were definite pluses. I also saw the potential to get really involved on campus."
Understanding the value of campus involvement, Sayers did exactly that. Not only is he involved in campus organizations such as the COBE dean's student advisory council, he is also a familiar face in the Admissions office, giving campus tours to prospective students and their families.
"There are so many opportunities for involvement here, and not only did it help me meet people, but also it helped broaden my horizons both in and out of the classroom," he said.
After obtaining his bachelor's degree, Sayers hopes to further his education in graduate school, with Radford University being his first choice.
"Coming to Radford University was the best decision I have ever made!" he said. "I have enjoyed meeting new people who have become my best friends. I love being able to interact with my professors one-on-one and build a relationship with them. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me!"

DARKE COUNTY - A Greenville woman was airlifted with injuries after crashing her vehicle Monday morning.
Darke County deputies along with Greenville Township Fire responded to the crash scene just before 12 p.m. on Stingley Road. According to the Sheriff's Office, Angel M. Cheadle 22, of Greenville, drove off the right side of the roadway then over-corrected, striking the guardrail on the right side of the road then her vehicle traveled off the left side of the roadway and struck a large tree.
Cheadle was treated at the scene and transported to the CareFlight landing zone at the Darke County Sheriff's Office by Greenville Township Rescue where she was then airlifted to the Miami Valley Hospital aboard CareFlight for her injuries. She was the sole occupant in the vehicle. Cheadle was not wearing a seatbelt.
The crash remains under investigation with the Darke County Sheriff's Office.

Parabatix is the ultimate sky race where the world's best freestyle paramotor pilots fly through a ground-skimming aerial race course, swooping around pylons and under bridges while racing against the clock. Aside from skydiving, I'm always up for more aerial awesomeness. What about you… have you ever flown a paramotor before?

Zombies are corpses that have been brought back to life somehow. Common ways to create a zombie include witchcraft or magic, but more recent depictions of zombies use technology and science, including space radiation or viruses. Zombies are commonly associated with the collapse of global civilization.
While George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) helped popularize the shambling, flesh-devouring creatures, zombies appeared in film and literature well before that, including the first feature-length zombie film "White Zombie", released in 1932 and starring famed "Dracula" actor Bela Lugosi.
Since Romero's film, zombies have slowly shuffled onward into comic books, video games, music, novels and television programs. The creatures are especially popular today, with books like "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z," films such as "28 Days Later" and on television in AMC's "The Walking Dead" series, which is an adaptation of a comic book series with the same name.
Zombies aren't just for horror flicks either. The zombie is also a figure used by philosophers to explore issues of consciousness and the physical world. But these zombies don't get quite the same amount of attention from the media.

People stood in front of polling sites all over Craven County Tuesday, braving a cold start to the day and the final hours of the election.
Temperatures in the 40s did not deter voters said precinct judges, who across the county reported heavy to steady lines of people, some arriving at polling sites a half hour before they opened, waiting to cast their votes.
Minor problems popped up at some precincts where printers for the ballots were not hooked up properly to laptops, slowing the voting process for a quarter of an hour in Trent Woods.
Pat McCotter, precinct judge at the West of New Bern Fire Department in Trent Woods, said her workers had to use old polling books and write down everyone's name.
"It looks like someone setting them up got the laptops and printer connections interchanged," she said.
The same problems occurred in Harlowe, Grantham and
McCotter said they were able to switch to backup printers so they were only affected for about 15 minutes.
"Other than that everything has been pretty smooth," she said. "It's always good to have a plan B."
McCotter said about two-thirds of the precinct's 3,000 registered voters cast their ballots early.
Back at the Craven County Board of Elections, things got hectic fast. By 8 a.m. Erin Burridge, Craven County director of elections, and Bobbie Love, a Board of Elections employee, were the only workers manning the telephones and helping people walking in asking where they were supposed to vote.
Burridge, who was also taking calls from precinct workers confused about the printers, said she did not know how many printers went down. But it did not affect voting in any way except to slow the process down for a little while, she said.
Love had just gotten off the telephone when an elderly man stuck his head in the door and then approached her. It was Lew Morrison from River Bend. He said he thought he could vote at the Board of Elections office, where for weeks people had been taking advantage of early voting.
But Love told him he had to vote in River Bend, where he just came from.
"I was so sure," Morrison said. "I'm an old man. Things don't mesh anymore. I saw no lines, but I thought something was wrong, maybe people were behind the building. This is embarrassing."
All morning people came in asking Burridge and Love where they were supposed to vote or if they could still register to vote. But if they were not registered it was too late.
Nicole Costa was told at she would have to go back to
"I was hoping my children could have gone with me, to show them they have a right and a privilege to vote and they should use it," Costa said, adding they would have been with her if they had voted earlier.
Costa said she was glad the 2012 election was winding down.
"I'm tired and I'm ready to get on with the next phase," she said.
At the polling site on
"A lot of people don't even know who their incumbent judges or school board members are," she said.
Truitt said she volunteered during early voting for three weeks before Tuesday, along with her daughter Mary Spruill, who was volunteering her time Tuesday at the
"I'm glad it is about over," Truitt said. "No fights have broken out so far. But it's early yet."
Nearby Matt Schwob, a volunteer with the Craven County Republican Party, said there were about 30 to 40 people lined up to vote in Brices Creek by 6 a.m.
"The turnout has been pretty good," he said.
By 269 people had cast their votes at the precinct, Schwob said.
David Hale, who is running for a seat on the Craven County Board of Education, and came out to the Brices Creek polling site to support his volunteers, said he appreciated the large turnout and all the volunteers involved in this year's election.
"It has been more challenging than I ever expected," Hale said of his campaign.

|All Children's and Tampa Bay Rays Sign Sponsorship Agreement
It's a whole new ballgame for the Tampa Bay Rays and All Children's Hospital.
When Opening Day arrived on Tuesday afternoon at Tropicana Field it marked the opening of an era uniting two Tampa Bay institutions with deep community roots and a commitment to excellence.
A sponsorship agreement recently formalized between the Rays and All Children's promises to be a winner on all counts. The new alliance will give All Children's a high profile within the Trop: on signs inside the stadium, in game telecasts beamed around the area, state and country and with radio ads during game broadcasts. And there will be an array of promotions and education involving the hospital that will be announced throughout the course of the season.
The sponsorship is a fitting development in an area so rich with baseball history. And that is why - to showcase our new relationship with the Rays - we offer our own big-league baseball story with a fascinating historical connection to All Children's Hospital.
It's the little-known tale of how legendary New York Yankees slugger Babe Ruth lent a formidable helping hand to a small St. Petersburg hospital - an institution that would one day become All Children's.
Now play ball!

Article Title: Remember Recency?
Publication: Integrated Learnings: eLearning
Summary: Recency is the tendency to be more likely to remember information from the end of a sequence. This article describes how eLearning can harness this simple, yet powerfully effective tendency to help learners retain new skills and knowledge.
I've seen many eLearning lessons end with reiterating a lesson's objectives. This seems to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the recency effect. Instead, we can end eLearning lessons in ways that prompt learners to recall important information or have a meaningful moment of insight.

10 sins that could get your geek card revoked
Full Bio
Jason Hiner is Editor in Chief of TechRepublic and Long Form Editor of ZDNet. He writes about the people, products, and ideas changing how we live and work in the 21st century. He's co-author of the book, Follow the Geeks.
Geex don't know what a girl looks like naked, unless they're a girl themself!
Hates it we does
All of it, the comments included. I fell from geekdom some months ago when I moved from the West Coast, where I was surrounded by 5 computers and 2 book cases full of techie books to the East Coast, where I'm in front of one laptop and surrounded by snow. Bad move.
there's nothing like the feel of a favorite tech book, all dogged earr'd and highlighted. :o)
Just a suit without a tie. I buy computer books from the bargain pile at bookstores all the time. You have to start somewhere with learning new things; and the town library is at least 2 years more out of date than a bookstore.
Please, Stop doing this galleries and get to the point. This kind of presentation is annoying and a waste of time.
Made that mistake once and will NEVER make it again. DON'T purchase their service plan!!!
that was a lame list. How about being in your mid 20's and still being a virgin...Hahaha loser.
I absolutely am I dying of laughter as I see the picture used on loving your cable company. I see three routers and the only port with an Ethernet cable plugged in is the middle router. And there is nothing in any of the other routers WAN ports. I don't think any of us here would make the mistake of not fully connecting cables although we have probably all had to fix somebody's router and modem connection. This comment has been brought to you by Android from the bathroom.
Making top 10 lists about geek cred. Oops
I failed only at this section. But...there is a butt...I was only 6 years old. How the he** am I going to know abt this film...besides, i don't live in States. Anyway 9 out of 10 sins i never commit. But do I want to declare myself a geek! Even geeks never admit themselves as a geek ;P
LAWN MOWERMAN FTW! Besides, if you know what either of these movies are then your living past your geek prime and need to move on to some better geek movies... Seeing how you have a topic about not using old book and quote being in 2010.... SORCERER'S APPRENTICE FTW!! Now thats geekdom at its max. Why else was the internet and computer created but to give the average non-magical nerd the ability to exploit a universe within a universe.
I know this is splitting hairs in some people's eyes; but I think the wording "represents binary in a more friendly way" is counterproductive. The amount is not the number. The amount represented by decimal 3 & hexadecimal 3 & binary 11 is entirely independent from its various representations. Binary, a representation itself, cannot be represented in hexadecimal. The amount it represents can be. So hexadecimal is rather "a friendlier way to say the same".
Biggest waste of band width, time and brain cells.
My wife (born in 1956, that's 54 years ago !) knew the name of book :-) and she has read it !
They live in fear of me!.........I have all service personal mobile numbers [don't have to call service center].........my provider is damn good, this took a lot of effort including spot the company truck in the street and explain the meaning of life to them!
My tale of woe - I dwelt in the Land Of Slow/Poor DSL, yea, verily 768K was I all could get from the Telecom Company That Rhymes With 'Horizon'....I called for months and months to see when FiOS would be available - nada. It was so bad, that I often had to jump in my car and drive back to the office (fortunately, I live only 18 miles from where I work) if I were called on a problem - I just could not get logged on from home! It was finally SO bad that my boss's boss's boss decreed that he would PAY for high-speed Internet - I checked, and my area had cable high-speed available - what a difference! I LOVE my cable modem - I don't have to sit at my desk at home; I can be in the living room or elsewhere - and no more 1 AM drives through Carbon Canyon to Brea! Yes!
OK... if buying a paper book is a sin then the constant e-mails I get from Tech Republic to buy one computer book or another qualify them as the devil. I personally prefer digital over paper. But I still have plenty of material in paper. Yeah, I would love to shrink it all down to electronic format and in time I will... but it may be a little premature to say that it is a sin in 2010 to buy in paper.
SAFE! - except on 7. where TalkTalk, the UK's biggest ISP (and my own primary ISP) have undertaken to refused to provide Internet Usage details to the government to the Government under the new 'Digital Economy Act' - as Orwellian in nomenclature as it is in practice... Basically, it's about snooping on people and preventing flourishing in the Digital Economy for anyone who hasn't already flourished elsewhere. Yay.
Honesty, complaining about privacy on Facebook is like walking naked down main street at rush hour and complaining that people are looking at you. Most problems with privacy are not FB's fault, but the stupidity of people posting their entire life online. BTW, I have to get something to eat. I will be leaving my house now for about two hours. I have a key hidden in the third rock from the right in case anyone wants to come see me while I am gone. Just don't go to the file marked embarrassing photos of me that no one should ever have taken much less have allowed to be posted in a public forum.
It seems to me you loose all of your geek cred if you pay any attention to silly rating schemes like this one. :-)
Ya missed this one folks. Working at Microsoft. Real geeks wouldn't produce (let alone sell to the public) the crap that comes out of that place.
at least for me :p Seeing as how I saw it for the first time when I was about 12 and only because my brother (who's a nerd, not a geek, [i]and yes I consider them different[/i])rented it. I think I may have spotted it once on TV since then, but other than that - it's never there! If it is such a sci-fi classic you'd think the classic movie channels (not necessarily sy-fy) would show it. What I'm saying is...12 years old was pre-geek-Tink. The experiences that led to geek-Tink did not include Bladerunner or any alliterations to it.
10)ITunes! I cant stand ITUNES!!!!!! 9)Binary = Base 2 Hex base 16 all base numbers systems are even. 2/8/10/16/64... 8)Not Guilty. 7)I'm diggin my Sat Co. Cable sucks 6)Hands Up. I have no idea. 5)OK, I'm not. I do not and have not watch either of them. 4)Open source is great! Cleared that one. 3)Facebook is a trouble maker.So much that it is on my site block. So i guess i passed that one too. 2)I am Mr.FixIT 1.)I dont see it as a tree morgue but rather an archive in hard form. And yes I have a lot of them.
it's fun to call them to look at your system, (a 1993 80486 that was cleverly stuffed into a P4 case) and ask if they can come over to: - install a new DVD drive - a new HDD - the latest windows version and MSO - a new NIC to hook up yer internet - and whatever is needed to keep the system time (aka new CMOS battery) and see the look on the dude's face when he pulls the top or side off to see: - an XT/AT ISA board (or better still a IBM Micro-Channel) - a 234MB IDE HDD - a 5.25" 1.2MB floppy drive - a 4x IDE CD-ROM - a hard wired soldered to the board Ni-Cad rechargeable CMOS battery etc.
They're all so boring. Stupid stories that someone made up with unbelievable twists and turns, and CGI effects and gratuitous false love scenes, and faulty philosophies of the universe. They're all the same and not worth caring a rat's behind about. Besides, I can't sit still that long. OK, yeah, I've got ADD. Please pass the ritalin.
10) itunes? Do not want. 9) Binary = Base 1 / Hex = Base 16 /Decimal = 10 8) *sigh* 7) I can haz an0n vpn?!? 6) Crap?.. couldn?t remember had to look up answer so yea -1 5) The force is simply not logical. 4) Dude open source isn?t about free it?s about freedom! 3) F*** facebook 2) cool story bro. 1) Do not understand?!?! Where is usb port???
You need a comma.
do I get reinstated because I still speak octal? ;)
Please, stop doing that, and get the point. Any kind of presentation is annoying to some and a waste of time to these. Just stick with what you love!
Not many people describe themselves as "Student" and then demonstrate they have no idea how to use their brain...
and the nerds coming pouring out... who wrote book "x"? what the EXACT title is... What the EXACT acronym is for role playing games spelling goofs. Congratulations to Jason for putting together the ultimate nerd fire-starter! ;-) lol
It's a lot easier to read and interpret '6B' than 01101011.
The old crone is probably blind as a bat anyway, I hope your computer screen doesn't support braille.
I envy you!
I thought Facebook's central premise was that it was a place to share information you wanted to be publicly known. That too many users don't know how to separate their private information from their public is in the same class of cluelessness as not knowing to lower your voices when discussing something you wouldn't want the world to know. I'm old school enough to still prefer limited access forums and email to interact with people I can't truly know, and phone/ email with real friends who aren't physically available. I audited Twitter for a while, but stopped. Think it should be renamed Drivel, and the tweets renamed drool.
i like it.
You may not have been there then, but Microsoft brought the Internet into common usage through Windows 95. I quite happily used a Microsoft BASIC compiler back in 1981 when I didn't need the speed of assembler. Worked OK, too. The grossest anti-geek item missed is walking around with a iPhone in one's hand. Or owning one! Or owning up to wanting one! An iPad comes in a close second in anti-geek items.
Since you can buy the DVD used for
Gotta love it... some people just really don't know about number bases (or are experiencing typos....) An earlier poster referred to binary as base 1. This poster said all base number systems are even. Never heard of trinary I take it? A base number system can be any whole number greater than 1.
with an 8" drive sitting on a shelf...plugged into a Xerox 820 board....
LOL ohhh man thats just mean :D
I wanna do that
tally marks are base 1
holding in my mind things like "amount as itself" or "limitless vacuum"... itchy, but it's a buzz. Amount as itself; trying to conceptualize amounts freed of all concreteness and all number. Integers are hard enough, irrationals and imaginaries are for dessert :D
What phone and tablet pass muster for geekdom? And what about the iPhone/iPad forfeit geekiness? My opinion? The tools on both give me my geekiness in an even more portable fashion. Using my iPad when out at dinner to log back into my servers to manage a hung process... Geeky!!!!
Microsoft not only went off the rails when they flogged the first Windows on us, they completely wrecked the train. Microsoft became like the IBM they stuck it to with DOS and the rest is history. Had they taken the "geek" route and beat Linux to the punch, we wouldn't be having the daily horrors we get with Windows that costs the business world billions of dollars every year because of poorly designed and poor quality code.
Being that it is now on DVD is even more of a reason why movie channels should be showing it. There are few out there that use the DVD extras to add tidbits of "fun facts" to the showing. The time I think I saw Bladerunner on TV was also pre-DVD
who lost his arm in a work accident. He has converted to quinary. :D BTW, that's not trinary, but ternary. ;) Base 2 - Binary Base 3 - Ternary Base 4 - Quaternary Base 5 - Quinary Base 6 - Senary Base 7 - Septenary Base 8 - Octal Base 9 - Nonary Base 10 - Decimal (denary) Base 11 - Undenary Base 12 - Duodenary Base 16 - Hexadecimal Base 60 - Sexagesimal http://www.easysurf.cc/cnver17.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arity#Other_names etu
LOL man way to tired with original post and i can see how that really hasn't changed. Thanks for the correction, back to code.... :(
and he counted in base e (law of natural growth) - said it made so much more sense than using pi.

8/29/13 Jamie Fox and Katie Holmes and Item?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, August 29, 2013
MICHAEL DOUGLAS and CATHERINE ZETA-JONES are separated. Their rep says they're, quote, "taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage." They've been married 13 years, and have a 13-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter.
We heard recently that someone was trying to sell nude photos of DEMI LOVATO . . . and now, there are some "preview images" online. Apparently, the pictures are going around now because of a girl Demi is kissing in one of the photos.
JAMIE FOXX and KATIE HOLMES were seen getting cozy at a benefit in New York over the weekend, leading to speculation that they're DOING IT. One source says they're just old friends, but another claims they've been seeing each other for a few months.
The "Star" tabloid claims that Ryan Gosling is having trouble keeping up with his girlfriend EVA MENDES and her, quote, "insatiable sexual appetite." A source says, quote, "Eva wants Ryan all the time. But he works day and night, so he's always tired. He can't keep up with her." And, of course, this is putting a strain on the relationship.
JUSTIN BIEBER was pulled over yesterday for running a stop sign . . . and ended up being ticketed for not having a valid California driver's license. The incident occurred near Justin's home in Calabasas. Justin had to let his passenger drive the rest of the way home.
8/28/13 Billy Ray Speaks

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
BILLY RAY CYRUS finally addressed MILEY'S "VMA" performance yesterday. He told "Entertainment Tonight", quote, "Of course I'll always be here for Miley. Can't wait [to] see her when she gets home. She's still my little girl and I'm still her dad regardless how this circus we call show business plays out. I love her unconditionally and that will never change."
ALEC BALDWIN attacked another photographer in New York yesterday, after he tried to take pictures of Alec and his wife HILARIA. Alec actually got the guy in a hammerlock and pinned him against the hood of a car. Both men called the cops, but in the end, neither pressed charges.
Khloe Kardashian has allowed her supposed crackhead, husband Lamar Odom to move back into the couple's mansion. Odom was seen coming back to the house on Monday and was still there as of yesterday afternoon. Reportedly, Lamar gave Khloe an ultimatum for divorce if she didn't let him come back home. And not only is Lamar's marriage in jeopardy -- so is his basketball career. According to TMZ, the L.A. Clippers refused to re-sign the free agent amid allegations that he's abusing drugs.
8/27/13 The Miley Aftermath
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
KHLOE KARDASHIAN and LAMAR ODOM are reportedly separated. It's not really an official separation, but Khloe did kick Lamar out of their house . . . supposedly because of his refusal to understand that CRACK IS WHACK. And she's refusing to take him back until he cleans up his act. And by the way . . . Khloe does believe that Lamar cheated on her, but she thinks his drug addiction is the root of all their problems. A source says Lamar is threatening to file for divorce if Khloe doesn't let him back into the house.
Forbes.com has released its annual list of The Highest-Paid Celebrities. MADONNA was #1, with an estimated income of $125 MILLION over the past year. STEVEN SPIELBERG was second with $100 million. And there was a three-way tie between Simon Cowell, Howard Stern and "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James, who all made $95 million.
The entire would is talking about Miley Cyrus' performance at they MTV music awards. As you would expect, the Parents Television Council went DOG NUTS over Miley's performance. And Miley's dad, Billy Ray just happens to be on the PTC's advisory board. Meanwhile BROOKE SHIELDS . . . who played Miley's dead mother on "Hannah Montana" . . . had this to say on the "Today" show: "I was Hannah Montana's mother. I do not approve. Where did I go wrong? . . . I just want to know who's advising her, and why it's necessary? . . . [Our children] can't watch that. I feel like it's a bit desperate."
Michael Douglas' 13-year marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones may be over. London tabloids report a divorce is imminent. Sources say Douglas is the one who wants the divorce but Catherine is fighting to salvage their relationship; another source claims it's the other way around. Michael Douglas' spokesman wasn't willing to offer up any info. He said, "I won't talk about that."
8/26/13 Lamar Odom Crack Addict?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, August 26, 2013
If there's any justice in the world . . . any justice at all . . . then MILEY CYRUS killed her career last night at the "MTV Video Music Awards".
Her performance included twerking, crotch-gesturing and a lot of bad singing. When she wasn't sticking her tongue out, that is.
ALEC BALDWIN'S wife HILARIA gave birth to a baby girl on Friday. They named her Carmen Gabriela. Alec's 17-year-old Ireland Baldwin, posted some tips for her new sister as she grows up, which included this: "Don't be that girl that gets wasted at parties and crawls on bathroom floors. It ain't cute."
There are reports all over the Internet that LAMAR ODOM has a drug problem, and it's putting a strain on his marriage to KHLOE KARDASHIAN. TMZ says he's into crack, but the "National Enquirer" claims it's OxyContin. Yesterday, Khloe Tweeted, quote, "Really hard to sit here and listen to people talk [crap] about my family! [Eff] you and shame on you! I'm too protective for this [crap]!"
Mike Tyson made a shocking admission at a press conference Friday in New York. The former champ revealed that he's been lying about staying sober for the past few years. Tyson, who was promoting his upcoming fight card with Iron Mike Productions, said, "I wanna change my life, I wanna live a different life now. I wanna live my sober life. I don't wanna die. I'm on the verge of dying, because I'm a vicious alcoholic."

Friday, August 23, 2013
SIMON COWELL and his pregnant girlfriend LAUREN SILVERMAN reunited Wednesday in the South of France. And they're supposedly talking about their FUTURE. Meanwhile, sources say Simon had a secret meeting with Lauren's ex-husband ANDREW SILVERMAN recently, to clear the air and make sure he doesn't take their issues public.
A 49-year-old man from Rhode Island named John M. Dubis was squatting in the pool house of JENNIFER LOPEZ'S Hamptons estate. And he lived there for a full WEEK before he was caught. The guy was actually living LARGE . . . walking around the estate in full view of the neighbors and even posting pictures of himself all over the grounds on Facebook. And the whole time, J-Lo's SECURITY was on duty. Someone finally figured out he wasn't supposed to be there and called the cops. He was charged with stalking and felony burglary.
Just when you thought the "Law & Order" franchise couldn't get any more exploitative with its "ripped from the headlines" episodes, we get this: In an upcoming episode of "Law & Order: SVU", PAULA DEEN will kill TRAYVON MARTIN. --Here's all the plot synopsis you need: A very high profile female celebrity chef thinks she's being pursued by a rapist . . . so she turns around and shoots him. Turns out he was just an innocent kid.

'Damp squid' is already in the database, but I felt this double-yolker variant was worth noting for its clear sense of disapproval if nothing else.
Sorry to put a damn squid on things fellas…
To be fair, the first iPhone was a bit of a damn squid.
I was starting to get the feeling that IE 7 was going to be a damn squid…
The Beaus may have been a bit of a damn squid but all hail The Alychamps who are the other end of the spectrum, stunning.
Argos ended up being a damn squid and refused to sell it after their initial bugger up.
Hilarious! Automatic winner of best of the year I think.
For us ignorami, a damp squib is? A wet firecracker, I suppose? (I don't remember ever hearing or seeing the phrase.)

Correct. Meaning something that is a "dud", or unable to perform its intended purpose.

commentators universally agree that his much lauded White House Address, convened after 5-6 spurting visits to the Oil Spillage Zone, was more of a damn squib than a call to arm.
Political forum
2010 might be one of those pivotal years the analysts will refer to for years to come. Then again it could all be a rather damn squib with only the politicos getting excited.
Response: That would be a damp squib, not a "damn" squib, which makes no sense at all.

Movies are movies – but Cruise as Reacher?
Loyal readers of best-selling author Lee Child's series featuring tough guy Jack Reacher must be a bit surprised to hear that Tom Cruise has been picked to play the character in an upcoming movie based on one of the books. Editor Don Whitten says he can't picture the 5-foot-7 Cruise as the 6-5, 250-pound Reacher he's been following in Child's books. (August 5, 2011, Page 4A)

Be a Responsible Traveler
Below are some excerpts from Lucy Popescu's latest book, The Good Tourist: An Ethical Traveler's Guide, which was just published.
Some of the most beautiful places in the world come with a history of civil injustice, often masked by the tourist industry. Lucy Popescu has worked with English PEN's Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) from 1991 to 2006. She also writes for Tribune and has a monthly column in Literary Review called "Silenced Voices."
The chapters are divided by country. At the end of each chapter, Popescu provides reading suggestions as well as steps that you can take to help make a difference. Here are some excerpts from her book:
"But for me it is Istanbul, the former capital of three successive empires – Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman – that holds the most fascination. Part of the city's appeal is that it straddles two continents, Europe and Asia. You can palpably feel the difference; it seeps under your skin, into your nostrils, and assails your ears, depending on which side of the Bosphorus you are residing."
"For Turkish writers and intellectuals, the 1990s was an inescapably bleak period. Most of them were imprisoned for various stretches of time as a means of intimidating them into silence. In 1995, Turkey's most famous writer, Yasar Kemal, was charged under Turkey's anti-terror law for his article, "Campaign of Lies," describing the oppression of fellow Kurds in his country."
"The Kurds of Turkey currently make up around twenty per cent of the population. Following World War I, when the Ottoman Empire's territories were being divided up by the victorious European powers, the Kurds were promised an independent homeland in the 1920 Treaty of Sevres. This dream was crushed following the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The subsequent treatment of Kurdish citizens has often been a subject of international criticism."
The United States
"In December 2007, under the headline, 'Slave Labour That Shames America,' the Independent exposed the human cost of producing cheap food when it highlighted how migrant workers are being abused and exploited in the US. Focusing on a group of Florida fruit pickers, it described how many are chained, beaten and forced into debt. The migrants were not only forced to work in sub-human conditions but were locked up at night and had to pay for sub-standard food. If they wanted to take a shower with a garden hose or bucket, they were charged five dollars."
"The public perception of sex-trafficking is crucial in order to effect change. Unfortunately when it is masked as prostitution the general public does not feel outraged at this appalling trade in human beings. Often child victims of trafficking are perceived as criminals, sexual deviants or just victims of circumstance who have 'chosen' to sell their bodies for profit. The reality is very different. Violence against trafficked children is routine, keeping them in such a 'state of terror' that they are too frightened or traumatized to seek help or attempt to escape."
"Iran, the cradle of Western Civilization, and some say of religion, is becoming increasingly popular as a holiday destination. Whether you are interested in its early Islamic architecture, soaking up the profusion of cultural influences, or just brousing the bazaars, the country boasts an array of unexpected pleasures for a variety of tastes. As well as being a nation deservedly proud of its heritage, the hospitality of Iranians is legendary."
"In September 2007, there was another furore when Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on a visit to Colombia University in New York, claimed that homosexuality did not exist in Iran: 'In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,' he told a questioner who had accused his government of executing gay people. 'In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you that we have it.' His statement was met with incredulity worldwide, particularly because Iran appears to actively encourage transexuality. It is a global leader for gender-change operations, carrying out more than any other country with the exception of Thailand. In fact, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini actually authorized sex-change operations in the 1980s."
"Visiting this ochre-colored city, we discovered for ourselves the warmth of its people and the various ways that the country gets under your skin. What delighted us most was being constantly surprised by its splendor, just when you least expect it. Moroccans seem to delight in hiding away their treasures. Frequently, walking down the winding, dimly lit, back alleys that all look the same, we would pass through an unassuming door in a wall, or under an unadorned archway of peeling plaster, to find ourselves in the centre of a magnificent courtyard, in the most stunning surroundings conceivable. In this way we stumbled, many times, on an oasis of calm away from the hurly-burly of the souks and the fairground feel of Marrakesh's main square, the Jemaa El Fna."

In pictures: Gibson Dusk Tiger unboxed
22nd Jan 2010 | 16:52
The Dusk Tiger arrives
It seems like they had some trouble persuading it to get inside the box...
Say hello to our new little friend
We've cut through the tape and can see the case. The excitement is palpable
What's inside the case?
Hmmm, this doesn't look like the Dusk Tiger case... have they sent the wrong guitar?!
The Dusk Tiger unleashed
Phew, it's the right guitar. There's no tiger-stripe case with our review model but the instrument itself looks better than expected in the flesh
Case candy
Inside we find the RIP breakout box, battery charger, FireWire cable, 1/4-inch jack lead, owner's manual and the obligatory sachet of drying agent
From the top
Here it is then, one of the most talked-about guitars of recent times. The results of a straw poll in the office indicate that the Dusk Tiger's looks still polarise opinion
Around the back
Tiger print notwithstanding, there's also a camera-style lithium-ion battery
Power up
The lights on the Master Control Knob are glowing. This can only be a good sign
Hands on
We'll spend the next couple of days putting the Dusk Tiger through its paces. Come back to MusicRadar next week to see and hear it in action on video
A first look at Gibson's latest robo-axe
The new Gibson Dusk Tiger lands in the MusicRadar office. We take a look...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - In its final tune-up for the Mid-American Conference Championships, the Miami University women's cross country team ran to a 22nd-place finish Saturday morning against a talented field at Pre-Nationals, hosted by the University of Louisville at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park. The course will also serve as the host for the NCAA Championships in November.
Running against eight nationally ranked teams and a total of 38 teams, all of which are ranked regionally, the RedHawks totaled 596 points in the Red Race (seeded race). In all, 65 teams took part in the Pre-Nationals meet, with 27 unseeded teams competing in the Black Race, of which Miami would have finished ahead of all 27 squads.
The 'Hawks were the top MAC team among the three in the Red Race as Ohio finished two spots back in 24th with 637 points while Eastern Michigan was 30th with 768 points. Central Michigan, Akron, Kent State and Toledo's "B team" ran in the Black Race. No. 1 Florida State won the Red Race with 72 points while No. 4 Oregon was second and No. 8 Michigan took third. Miami was third among Great Lakes Region teams behind the Wolverines and Butler, who finished 11th and is ranked fifth in the region, while a total of six teams in the region ran in the Red Race. The 'Hawks also placed ahead of Loyola (Ill.), who took 28th, as Loyola finished ahead of Miami at its home meet two weeks ago in Chicago.
Redshirt junior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio) was Miami's top finisher for the first time in her career, crossing in 85th in a 6K personal-best 21:27.7 , shaving over 40 seconds off her previous-best 6K time. She was Miami's second scorer in the RedHawks' other 6K, the Spartan Invitational, earlier this year. Sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio), who had been Miami's top finisher in the first three meets of the year, was the second RedHawk to finish, placing 97th in 21:33.4.
Sophomore Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y.) was Miami's third finisher in 116th place, clocking 21:43.7, also a 6K personal best. Frazier has now been in the RedHawks' top five in all four meets this season. Freshman Julia Valencia (South Lyon, Mich.) was 146th in 21:57.4, a minute faster than her first 6K, while sophomore Anna Lamb (Granville, Ohio) rounded out Miami's scoring five in 152nd with a time of 21:58.3, another 6K personal best. The RedHawks' top five finishers were all within 31 seconds of each other.
Freshman Brenna Poulsen (Indianapolis, Ind.) took 164th place in 22:06.8 while sophomore Alex Chitwood (Carmel, Ind.) was Miami's seventh and final finisher in the Red Race in 189th place in 22:25.7. A total of 265 runners competed in the seeded race with Wichita State's Aliphine Tuliamuk-Bolton winning in 19:43.9.
The RedHawks now have a week off before heading north to Buffalo, N.Y. for the MAC Championships Saturday, Oct. 27 at the University at Buffalo.

Lisa Ann
Born: May 9 (Taurus)
20" - waist
34" - hips
In 1990, while paying for college by working as an exotic dancer, brown-haired beauty Lisa Ann was clearly
meant to be more in life than a dental assistant. She was studying to become one and eventually was
certified as a dental assistant, but thankfully, that did not last long.
In 1994, Lisa entered the adult film industry and made a name for herself in many different films, including Angel Eyes, Little Red Riding Hood, and Skin Hunger. Her time in the adult industry was short-lived though, as she decided to spend a few years touring as a dancer at clubs. This venture was also short-lived because Lisa wanted to spend more time working on her marriage and her day spa business. Although neither her marriage or the day spa business worked out, Lisa Ann returned to the adult industry to work as an agent.
However, in 2004, her fans prayers had been answered because Lisa Ann decided to reenter the adult film industry as an actress and began making movies again. She didn't stop working as an agent though, and she opened her own talent agency, which has since merged with Seymore Butts' Lighthouse Agency. Lisa manages the new agency, as well as continues to film the hot scenes that she is well known for.

Results vs. @St. Andrews (2008-01-26 16:00:00)
January 26, 2008
|Pfeiffer Wins by 35
|Saturday, 26 January 2008
|LAURINBURG, N.C.—Pfeiffer University hit 13 three-pointers compared to only one by host St. Andrews Presbyterian College en route to an 87-52 Conference Carolinas men's basketball victory on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons, who improved to 12-4 overall and 8-2 in Conference Carolinas play, scored 29 points on 29 turnovers by the Knights while making 17 steals to extend their win streak to six games. SAPC had its season-best three-game win streak snapped falling to 5-13 and 4-7.
Pfeiffer used its usual high-pressure defense while substituting five players at a time every couple of minutes to wear the Knights out. Ten different Falcons played at least 10 minutes with 12 players scoring including four in double-digits. Freshman Jeff Pettiway scored a game-high 19 points including five 3-pointers. Senior Thomas Carr followed with his own quartet of made three-pointers for a total of 14 points.
Pfeiffer never trailed and the only two ties in the game occurred in the first three minutes. An 8-0 run by the Falcons early in the first period gave the visitors the lead for good. Pfeiffer continued to build on its lead in the opening stanza as St. Andrews committed 20 of its 29 turnovers in the first 20 minutes leading to 21 Falcons points.
Freshman Chris Woods scored 10 of his 12 points in the first half as Pfeiffer held an 18-point lead (40-22) at halftime. The Falcons continued to pull away out of the locker room hitting nine of their 13 three-pointers in the final period.
PU shot 46.8-percent from the field including 13-for-31 (41.9%) from behind the arc while SAPC was 36.7% from the floor but only 1-for-13 (8.3%) from deep. Pfeiffer controlled the boards, 38-31, and made more steals, 17-9.
Pfeiffer hosts the Trojans of Mount Olive on Monday night at 7:30 p.m.
