Over the past year a small number of pilots and airlines have been testing iPads as replacements to traditional flight bags with approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to do so. Now American Airlines is getting authorized to equip all their pilots with iPads during all phases of flight.
On Friday, American Airlines is the first airline in the world to be fully FAA approved to use iPads during all phases of flight. Pilots will use iPads as electronic chart and digital flight manual readers. The airline Keep Reading
Microsoft certainly isn't shying away from releasing content on the iOS platforms, as evidenced by the release of the My Xbox Live app just last week, but an iOS version of Kinectimals is one of their first REAL Xbox ports.
For those of you unfamiliar with Kinectimals, and we're assuming that's almost all of you, the game uses the Kinect (should we just stop there) and allows you to interact with virtual animals. You can teach them tricks and guide them around an obstacle course on the Kinect version of the game (opposed to real life, where you take your actual pet out for a walk and watch him try to punk out a squirrel for five minutes).
The game isn't the full-fledged Kinectimals that you get on Xbox 360, the $3 universal download compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, might be Microsoft testing the waters for bigger and better ports down the road. The good news is owners of the Xbox version will be able to unlock Keep Reading
Personally, why some people insist on seeing precious technology destroyed is beyond me, but that hasn't stopped more companies hoping to go viral from coming up with new and creative ways to do it.
We already shared the iPhone 4S vs a Barrett M82 sniper rifle, watched it get strategically torn to pieces, and we're all familiar with the Will It Blend guys, so the results of iPad vs Lava probably won't surprise you…
It's safe to assume this isn't covered by AppleCare Keep Reading
Right on the heels of Google announcing 10 billion downloads in the Android Market, Apple has today shared some numbers announcing impressive stats for the App Store and Mac App Store.
Apple has officially announced the App Store on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is home to over 500,000 apps with more than 18 billion app downloads since the store's launch.
Currently, an average of about 1 billion apps are being downloaded per month. Google also now claims approximately 1 billion downloads per month, but Apple's numbers didn't include the Mac App Store, which has reached over 100 million downloads in less than a year since launch. Keep Reading
If you frequent any tech sites it would be hard to ignore the ongoing litigation between Apple and Samsung, specifically stemming from Apple's claims that Samsung "slavishly copy" the iPhone and iPad with their Galaxy smartphone and tablet lineups. Despite several temporary bans on Samsung products abroad, the company remains Apple's fiercest competitor in the smartphone business. That's why it's not all that surprising their new ads take a "Mac vs PC" approach by pitting themselves against Apple and mocking iPhone users in the process.
Depicting what is clearly supposed to be exhausted Apple fans waiting in line to get their new iPhones, an Android user approaches and begins to explain how his Galaxy S II stacks up. It isn't the first time, however, the image above from Samsung's Facebook page is calling the iPhone "old school" Keep Reading
Apple is once again doing their yearly 'Rewind' wrap up of the best of the best App Store and Mac App Store apps consisting of the top sellers and favorite apps and games across 21 categories. They've also made charts available for just about all of the other content on iTunes including music, TV shows, books, movies, and podcasts.
When it comes to games that top the charts, EA's Dead Space was named iPad Game of the Year, and despite Angry Birds' dominance in terms of sales, tower construction simulator Tiny Tower received the Game of the Year award on iPhone. Keep Reading
We've seen a lot of different iPhone docks before from accessory makers and speaker companies. In fact, I think a new one comes out just about every couple of days. We already showed you the HAL 9000 iPhone 4S dock with Siri control, and a $2,300 gold-plated speaker horn dock, but neither compare to the 10,000 Watt, 8-foot wide iNuke Boom from Behringer.
While it promises to be the loudest iPhone dock you've ever heard (and probably the largest you've seen), Behringer is actually using the iNuke to help promote a new brand of professional audio equipment known as EUROSOUND. At 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall Keep Reading
OnLive has just dropped a press release announcing new mobile apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad that will effectively bring their "console-class" cloud gaming experience to over 500 million mobile devices in the UK and US.
You're probably already familiar with OnLive's game streaming service previously only available to Macs, PCs, or a dedicated OnLive console.
However, while most of the 200 games in their library will be playable on mobile devices via a wireless controller, 25 of those titles have also been ported with touchscreen controls. It isn't just the smaller titles Keep Reading
If you're unaware that Apple is currently in the process of planning the construction of a brand new city-sized campus in Cupertino, California, today we got yet another look into this massive 175-acre circular building with a footprint bigger than the Pentagon. Known by most as the Spaceship, or Mothership, new renderings have been made public in a new proposal Apple submitted to the City of Cupertino on Monday.
Four documents make up the new proposal including Introduction, Site Plan & Landscaping, Floor Plans and Renderings. Keep Reading
Seemingly out of nowhere, Microsoft decided to drop a universal Xbox LIVE iOS app on us today.
While it obviously isn't the full-fledged Xbox Live experience that you might be hoping for, it does at first glance appear to be quite a slick looking companion app.
Available for free as of today, the "My Xbox LIVE" app will let you manage achievements, send messages to your friends, edit your LIVE profile, and edit your 3D Avatar. Keep Reading
iFixit is known for their detailed teardowns of our favorite gadgets, most recently tearing Apple's new iPhone 4S to pieces. If you're like them, you can appreciate the design and aesthetic of the internal workings of your devices, and not just its polished outer casing. With that in mind, iFixit is offering a transparent glass rear panel kit for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 that will let you show off what the device is really made of.
Replacing your iPhone's back panel is easier than you might think:
- Remove the two visible screws on either side of the thirty-pin dock connector
- Slide the current back panel up slightly and lift it off
- Repeat those steps in reverse to install the new panel.
If you're a visual learner, iFixit has a complete step-by-step guide and a video walkthrough (below). Keep Reading
You're probably well aware there are a more than a few knockoffs of Apple products floating around China. In fact, there are even entire fake Apple retail stores selling genuine Apple products.
That being said, at first glance this new MacBook Air knockoff known as the "AirBook" is perhaps the closest to the real thing we've seen. If you can get past the blatant rip-off of the MacBook Air's design, it's actually quite impressive…
Don't expect an aluminum unibody from this $499 clone, as < em>MIC Gadget's review of the device notes it's actually just a "silver plastic unibody" painted with a matte finish to look like aluminum, inside and out. Keep Reading
Rockstar just made things official for a Grand Theft Auto III Android and iOS port, announcing the 10 Year Anniversary Edition will finally be landing in the Android Market and App Store for $4.99 on December 15th.
While we haven't yet got our hands on the new trailer expected to launch next week, we do have all the details on supported devices as well as screenshots for both versions.
When it comes to supported devices, iOS users (other than 3G and 3GS users) of course don't have much to worry about. The iOS title, presumably a universal app, will support iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, and 4th-gen iPod touch. Keep Reading
Siri has quickly become the tech industry's go-to running joke, despite the technology setting a new standard for the way we control our devices.
It's not that much of a shock that the media and tech geeks alike have been so enamoured of Siri concepts, parodies, and… sniper rifles?
However, techies aren't the only ones poking fun at Siri's capabilities (and lack thereof), with comedians Robin Williams and Stephen Colbert both giving their hilarious first impressions of the voice-controlled personal assistant… Keep Reading
We knew it would only be so long before rumors began of an Apple Branded HDTV and today longtime Apple analyst Gene Munster certainly didn't disappoint. via Business Insider" target="_blank">Talking at the IGNITION: Future of Media Event, Munster made some claims of what we can expect from Apple's upcoming living-room take over.
In case you need a refresher, we've already heard a bunch of rumors that Apple is working on an HDTV set, most of which seem to stem from Steve Jobs' comments to author Walter Isaacson that he had "finally cracked" the TV before his passing.
After urging audience members to hold off Keep Reading
So as gamers we are more than aware of the ESRB's work– you know…the ones responsible for that little black and white rating in the corner of just about every game.
The organization has been assigning the familiar "Everyone", "Teen", "Mature 17+", etc., ratings on video games since around 1994 and now in conjunction with the CTIA are introducing a new rating system for mobile apps and games. Bloomberg reports:
"Mobile applications for smartphones and tablet computers may carry new ratings for violence and sexual content under a wireless Keep Reading
Redditor and art teacher cheeseboyhalpert (we're assuming that's not what his students call him) has posted quite an incredible hand drawn portrait of Steve Jobs. The portrait was done using only descriptive words, a technique Halpert plans on teaching his students and also explains in detail in the description below.
As for the portrait, he apologizes that his handwriting became sloppy throughout the process, but promises the entire thing is made up of only handwritten words. The words used include: Steve Jobs, Business, Visionary, Success, CEO, Apple, Macintosh, iPhone, iPad, Pixar, iPod, Multimedia, California, Innovation, Marketing, iTunes, Network, SteveJobsFinger, and SteveJobsRing Keep Reading
As cameras and smartphones continue to improve, they are quickly replacing our everyday point-and-shoot cams. The iPhone is no exception, with its recent upgrade to a redesigned 8-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 4S earning approval from celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. It even beat out a $3,000 Canon in a comparison test.
When author Walter Isaacson sat down with Fortune to talk about the 'Steve Jobs' bio, he noted Jobs wanted to reinvent three key industries: TV, textbooks, and photography. While we already have insight into his possible plans for a television, and the book sheds light on meetings with publishers to transform the textbook industry, we're not too sure what Jobs envisioned for his reinvention of photography.

If an unnamed "development source" is to be believed, Eurogamer claims to have some interesting details about the yet to be announced second-generation Kinect.
In fact, they say it will be quite a significant upgrade in terms of processing power, enabling games to do things like "lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing."
The peripheral will also reportedly be able to track precise facial movements and the pitch and levels of a player's voice to determine mood. These features were not currently possible due Keep Reading
While the majority of us are awaiting the next big product unveiling from companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Sony with high hopes, we often forget about some of the disastrous product unveilings, prototypes, and concepts that never quite took off. This holiday weekend, be thankful that some of these remarkably bad product designs didn't get the chance to impact the direction of the industry.
Some might have had potential but were commercial failures for good reason, while others were just downright bad decisions. Thankfully, some were premature concepts that acted as stepping stones to better products, and on that note, we start things out with the tablets… Keep Reading

Geoffrey already had three brothers in Australia, and upon arrival the couple lived with one of Geoffrey's brothers in Brunswick, until they bought their own home in Pascoe Vale. They fondly remember the journey, especially the food which seemed plentiful after rationing in England.
The term '10 Pound Pom' or '10 Pound Tourist' refers to British migrants who came to Australia following World War Two on an assisted passage scheme where each migrant paid 10 pounds a ticket. Migrants were required to remain in Australia for two years.

Dunes & Beaches
On every one of the Madeleines, you will find world-class sandy beaches, backed by tall dunes. Havre-Aubert is no exception, so we spent an afternoon on its western coast, at the lower end of the Dune de l'Ouest. We pulled out our folding chairs and sat on the windward side of the dunes, admiring the long sandy beach and the view of the ocean as we sipped on our wine. Only 3 or 4 other groups of people came by in more than an hour. The wind started to feel a bit chilly towards the end, so we moved our chairs a few feet to the other, sheltered, side of the dune and had a completely different view. We could now look out over the swamps and forested area leading up to the shallow lagoon trapped between the two main sets of dunes that connect Havre-Aubert to the northern islands.

Sea Museum (Musee de la Mer)
Almost at the very southern tip of Rte. 199, in Havre-Aubert, you will find the Musee de la Mer perched on a small hill overlooking the town. For the entry price of C$5 each, it is well worth a look because it has tons of interesting facts about the history of these islands, as well as various relics of their battles for survival against the sea. There are a few native American artifacts from very early days, but the consensus is that the natives decided the islands were not worth the bother of living there (it is a long cold winter when the Gulf freezes over). Although discovered by the French in 1534, serious competition on the islands did not begin until 1618 when the French, English and Basques competed for the Atlantic Walrus trade (hunted to extinction by 1799). The on-going wars over North America between the British and French resulted in the deportation of the original French Acadian settlers from British-controlled Nova Scotia in 1755 - they were driven to remote spots such as northern New Brunswick, the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon off the Newfoundland coast and to Louisiana (where Acadians became 'Cajuns). The British won the war but not much happened on the islands until 1792 when 223 Acadians moved from Miquelon to begin serious colonization of the Iles de la Madeleine. Today they represent over 90% of the islands population. These islands are also known as the "second graveyard of the Atlantic", trailing Sable Island off Nova Scotia, due to their location on the main shipping routes to Montreal combined with the choppy waves, fog and sudden weather changes of the Gulf.

Les Demoiselles (the Misses)
Towering above the town of Havre-Aubert are two treeless and grassy peaks, known as Les Demoiselles. The lower one has a large cross on it but the higher hill is devoid of any structure. There is actually a rough road almost to the top of the higher peak (or you can walk up). It is worth the effort for the amazing views! Photo taken looking out over the town of Havre-Aubert and its point of land containing La Grave and the Museum, as well as the peaks of the distant islolated Ile d'Entree.

Historic Houses of 'La Grave'
La Grave is a group of old fishing village houses and buildings located along a narrow spit of land with a pebbly beach ( 'greve' is French for pebbly or sandy terrain) at the southern end of Rte. 199. It is interesting to walk around this area of small tourist shops, museums and restaurants. This was the only historic spot like this that we came across in our entire tour of the islands. Photo taken from the Musee de la Mer, looking down on the buildings of La Grave, with the peaks of Les Demoiselles on the right.

Aquarium des Iles
Although it does not look like much from the outside, we found that a look through the Aquarium des Iles was well worth the C$5 each cost of admission! We first of all enjoyed their large outdoor holding tank at the rear where they had a couple of young orphaned seals. It was very enjoyable to watch the curious expressions on their faces and to observe their antics as they swam up to the viewing windows, or from above looking down into the pool. Once they have reached a certain development, they will be released back into the Gulf. Equally impressive were their indoor tanks of fish and crustaceans. It was educational to see what some of the fish in the Gulf waters look like up close and alive. The Atlantic Raven fish is quite an odd looking creature - with its amazing colours and various fern-like appendages! Another great display was their feeding of the lobsters and crabs - by means of a long narrow rod used to bring individual pieces of fish into the range of their mouths and pincers. The aquarium also had an interesting variety of strangely coloured lobster - their blue one was king of the bunch!
- Family Travel
Cap Noir
Holding on against the relentless ocean, Cap Noir (Black Cape) is made up of some sort of black rock, probably volcanic, which has a harder texture than most of the material in the islands. In the photo, you can see that it is taking the brunt of the ocean attack, while its weaker neighbours are slowly giving ground. This was the view from the cliff-side field where we observed the whales and gannets, not far west of Bassin. In the upper right corner is a multi-level house belonging to a reclusive artist, according to the locals. It sits all by itself surrounded by huge open fields and a great ocean view from its perch.

Rethinking the Economics of War: The Intersection of Need, Creed, and GreedJul 07, 2011
Rethinking the Economics of War: The Intersection of Need, Creed, and Greed questions the adequacy of explaining today's internal armed conflicts purely in terms of economic factors and reestablishes the importance of identity and grievances in creating and sustaining such wars. This collection of essays responds to current works asserting that the income from natural resources is the end and not just a means for warring rebel groups. The study puts greed in its place and restores the importance of deprivation and discrimination as the primary causes of armed conflict within states. Countries studied include Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Angola, the Republic of the Congo, Colombia, and Afghanistan. More about this title can be found on the Wilson Center Press website. more

Goofy Stuff Relegated to Dreamland in Scrubs
What: Scrubs
Where: TV2
When: 8pm, Wednesday
AS Scrubs heads into its seventh season, it returns to a similar format of the earlier seasons with the really goofy stuff happening only in fantasy.
"I think it's really important that people care emotionally about the characters, so they go back to being really grounded," Scrubs creator Ben Lawrence says.
"The first couple of years had a lot more dramatic elements, and we're doing that a lot more."
The show focuses on the strange experiences of medical resident John Dorian, or "JD" (Zach Braff, Garden State), as he continues on his medical career in a surreal hospital, crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients, where humour and tragedy can collide at any time.
The change means the main character, JD, attains a new level of maturity. "JD has essentially been playing a 'man-child' since the start, and it's time for him grow up," Lawrence says, but he promises fans won't be short-changed when it comes to laughter.
Scrubs received two consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2005 and 2006, and in its debut year was nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People's Choice Award. In total, Scrubs has received 10 Emmy nominations, and in 2005, it won an Emmy for picture editing.
In episode one, JD contemplates his commitment to Kim (guest star Elizabeth Banks, The 40-Year Old Virgin), while Elliot struggles with the prospect of her upcoming marriage to Keith (Travis Schuldt).
Meanwhile, Carla, trying to protect her diabetic husband from his sweet tooth, allows Turk to choose one candy bar, and Dr Cox tries to diagnose a patient's mysterious ailment. Also back lurking in the corridors of Sacred Heart is the janitor, who is entertaining a new lady friend.

Court ruling should not deter Ventura from redevelopment, mayor says
Ventura should continue to look at creating a redevelopment zone on the city's west end, Mayor Bill Fulton said Wednesday, a day after a judge ruled California could take $2 billion in redevelopment money from communities across the state.
Fulton disagreed with the ruling, which allows the state to divert cities' redevelopment money to education, but doesn't see it as a deal-breaker. The state plan still could be overturned on appeal, is set to expire after two years, and even if extended, he said, the city would ultimately benefit by creating a redevelopment area along Ventura Avenue to fix infrastructure and spark new investment there.
"I definitely think we should move forward," he said.
The California Redevelopment Association, which challenged the legality of the state plan, filed an appeal Wednesday. It requested a temporary stay so redevelopment agencies do not have to make a payment required Monday while the appeal is being considered.
The association last year filed suit in Sacramento County Superior Court seeking to invalidate provisions of Assembly Bill X4-26, but Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly on Tuesday upheld the state budget bill that requires redevelopment agencies statewide to transfer $2.05 billion over the next two years.
Unless the decision is overturned, the state will take about $30 million from 12 redevelopment agencies in Ventura County.
Oxnard, the county's largest city with one of its largest redevelopment areas, estimates it will have to transfer $6.2 million to education under the ruling.
Simi Valley is facing a $6.3 million loss, city officials said.
Ventura's transfer is closer to $1.4 million, because it has a smaller zone.
"We had planned for this payment. It (the ruling) was not a surprise but an unfortunate outcome," said Sid White, Ventura's economic development manager.
White agreed with the mayor that the ruling should not halt discussions on creating a possible redevelopment area in west Ventura, a largely working-class neighborhood that has improved in recent years but still has several underutilized and possibly contaminated commercial properties that date to the area's once-thriving oil industry.
The stated purpose of redevelopment agencies is to revitalize blighted areas. The law allows agencies to sell bonds to fix up the areas or obtain land, then pay off the debt by keeping a greater portion of the property tax revenue generated by rising property values in the designated redevelopment district, White said.
Ventura's downtown redevelopment agency paid to widen sidewalks, construct a multi-story parking structure and assemble parcels that ultimately led to construction of the Century movie theater complex. A portion of redevelopment money also must be used for low- and moderate-income housing.
The boundary of a possible west redevelopment zone has not been defined, and there's some debate over how far north it should extend along North Ventura Avenue.
Critics of redevelopment say too much money can go to administrative costs, that it requires blighted areas to be demolished and rebuilt rather than repaired, and that it can lead to "sweetheart deals" for developers using taxpayer money.
In 1999, 57 percent of Ventura voters rejected a city plan to create a midtown redevelopment area. Proponents said it would have generated about $75 million over 45 years to fix midtown's aging streets, sidewalks and buildings. But opponents, who collected enough signatures to put the plan on the ballot, called it corporate welfare that would have trampled small-business owners and mired the city in debt.
While redevelopment agencies may now be forced to fork over some of their money, the state cannot raid funds needed to pay off existing agency debt, White said.
"Anyone who holds bond debt has a position ahead of the state of California," he said. "The state has never attempted to put themselves ahead of the bond holders."
Although the Assembly bill is set to expire in two years, the statewide association has little confidence the state will have fixed its massive budget shortfall by then, and expects it could try to raid agency funds again.
Voters in November could have a chance to block future takeaways, Councilman Neal Andrews said. Proponents have submitted signatures to get a measure — titled the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety and Transportation Act of 2010 — on the November ballot. It would close loopholes to prevent the state from taking, diverting or borrowing local government funds, including redevelopment and transportation money.
"The state will continue to try," Andrews said. "But this would give us a firm decision when we go to court."

If you're gonna leave, I wish you'd just leave. Why do you keep coming back if you're not going to stay? Because even when you're gone, you're never really gone... I won't get over it if you keep coming back. Losing you once was hard enough. And now you're here again and everything's coming back. I'm going to get screwed. And I can't do it again

in Christ Embassy we are not only taught the word we are also taught how to use it in our day to day life
Hi beloved! Thank you so much for your responses. You all have sound reasons why we invite people to our ministry. It s becoz we have tested the teachings given in this ministry and found out they are real. If you join Yookos and are not a mamber of Christ Embassy, I invite you to any of our churches. Your life will surely be given a meaning!
We love you big!
There is no other name. Christ Embassy is a brand that defines christianity.
If these things (Christ Embasy) be in you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my sister
Christ (Embassy) in you the hope of Glory.
Once you start ( you only start when you catch the vision) you cannot stop. It will make you what it talks about.
When we lead someone to christ (its like we have given birth to our own babay and we want the best for them) so we just give them the best. Christ Embassy is the best there is.
It all depends with your calling. If you are called for your street, if you are called for you town it fine but if you are called for the whole world then you fellowship with world changers.
If it was not because of Christ Embassy and yookos i would never have known you let alone chat.
When you drive a corolla and feel it is the best car it will always be the car you reommend.
Christ Embassy preaches the word of God and gives life a meaning because i am a living testimony i want people to taste and testify. Christ Embassy is the best.
Not only do you become born again in christ embassy but because we understand ourselve to be spirit beings Christ embassy grooms the spirit in all aspects.
wow! YYOUU ARE ALL AWESOME ANND INNSPIRINNG!
From the recently ended IPPC--"Christ Embassy is more than a church. It is a Vision""
In CE we are raised to be the living Word. When you come to CE, you will become the living Word.
it's got IPPC
welcome back sir
thank you, what a meeting it was. I can't imagine why I was not attending previous IPPCs

You know what to do, face down and ass up; seems like our 'private room' is about to get more crowded. Sitting in the back, taking a loadoff, this boy will be used like a toy. After jerking and blowing his essence, in walks a couple of masked guys 'cumming' for their own type of fun. With the moansand whimpers our twink is about to make, I hope that room is sound proof or whomever overhears the play, will be leaving the office, after staining on the carpet.Complete with anal stimulators, lube and a keen sense of adventure, both begin to work on the boy. Inserting an anal toy, one guy already has dibs on the hole;the other gives 'good vibrations.' Double teaming, it's not long before the dildo is removed and the toy is presented, for our close examination. Like I saidbefore, the boy didn't know the two masked guys were going to join him, or I'm sure he would have held back his load.

CCBC has three main campuses located in the Catonsville, Dundalk, and Essex communities of Baltimore County, Maryland, as well as extension centers located in the Hunt Valley, Owings Mills, and Randallstown communities of Baltimore County. Each campus started as its own college, with Hunt Valley, Owings Mills, and Randallstown centers being extensions to Catonsville Community College, however, in 1998 the separate colleges of Catonsville, Dundalk, and Essex merged to form the Community College of Baltimore County.
Catonsville Campus[edit]
Currently located at 800 South Rolling Road, Catonsville, Maryland, and approximately one mile west of the Baltimore Beltway, the Catonsville campus of CCBC originated in 1957 as Catonsville Community College (CCC). Originally, the college operated out of the basement of Catonsville High School with an enrollment of 53 students, and shared a curriculum with that of Essex Community College, founded at the same time. Between 1959 and 1963, the County Board of Education raised funds to purchase a permanent campus for the college, eventually buying the Knapp Estate (a dairy farm in Catonsville). The construction on new classroom buildings began in 1962. As of 2005, the CCBC Catonsville campus has 19 buildings. The former manor / farm house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
Dundalk Campus[edit]
Community College of Baltimore County Dundalk Campus is one of the three main campuses of CCBC which was started in 1970 and built in 1971. As of 2005 it has 16 buildings, and houses the Baltimore County police training academy. Dundalk is the smallest of the three campuses.
Essex Campus[edit]
Currently located at 7201 Rossville Boulevard, Essex, Maryland, the Essex Campus of CCBC originated in 1957 as Essex Community College. Originally, the college operated out of Kenwood High School with an enrollment of 59 and shared a curriculum with that of Catonsville Community College. Jokingly, it is referred to by many of its students as The University of Rossville Boulevard. As of 2005, it has 14 buildings. The school mascot is the knight. CCBC Essex has one of the top rated associate nursing programs in the region.

Browser does not support script.
Modular value: 20 credits
Lecturer: Adrian Campbell
This module is concerned with understanding the theory and practice of organisational analysis in the public sector and focuses on the problems of organisations that are specific to the public administrative context. The module reviews different ways of looking at organisations and diagnosing organisational problems.
Particular attention is paid to the dual nature of public bureaucracy, as analysed by Weber, Simon and later theorists. In order to analyse case studies from public administration in different national and institutional settings, students are given a grounding in the rational, political and cultural models of organisation, all of which have a particular relevance to the public sector and which provide a framework for understanding the changes that have occurred in government and the public sector over the last twenty years. The dissolution of organisational boundaries and the rise of network, project and virtual models of organisation are discussed in the context of the long-term development of bureaucratic organisations, with an emphasis on how government organisations have evolved in developing, transitional and newly-industrialised countries.
The module explores approaches to organisation change in public organisations, focusing on the choice between competitive and collaborative, radical and incremental approaches. It is taught largely through the analysis of a series of case studies, each of which illustrates a particular set of problems which are characteristic of public administration in different geographical contexts.
By the end of the module you will be able to:

I'm so sorry i haven't been able to add some flicks in so long but I had to deal with alot of life problems, but it doesn't matter now because I'm back in time for halloween, and I DEFINITELY plan to make up for my absence by adding as many and the best possible movies I can for you fellow sick gorians (PS I think either facebook or IMDB reset my likes on Facebook, not like I'm on social media to often but if you wanna show your support I would still very much appreciate it, because I WILL FINISH THIS!!!!)
The definition of "Disturbing" can be described in many different ways but the closest definition (with synonyms) that I've found is from Answers.com, Thesaurus.com and a little me; Disturbing- Troubling to the mind or emotions. So expect the movies ahead to be at least one of the following: alarming, bothersome, burdensome, consequential, creepy, depressing, difficult to watch, disagreeable, discomforting, discommoding, discomposing, disconcerting, discouraging, dismaying, disquieting, disruptive, distressful, distressing, embarrassing, foreboding, frightening, gloomy, hard to handle, impeding, inconvenient, irritating, laborious, ominous, painful, perplexing, perturbing, pessimistic, politically incorrect, prophetic, provoking, severe, sinister, startling, threatening, toilsome, troubling, unpleasant, unsettling, upsetting, vexing, wearisome, worrisome, worst of the worst that a dedicated horror fan has seen, etc.
So basically for all you kiddies reading this, the list is 18+ so either tread with caution or wait a few more years, but preferably for your sanity, I'd pick option 2.
So with that being said, welcome to the bottom of the barrel in cinema folks! Thanks to all for the suggestions, wouldn't have got this far if it wasn't for the massive variety you gave me to check out for the list.These great flicks range from the worst of psychological, sexual and physical abuse caused by many things such as supernatural, environmental & religious reasons (but the biggest reason being usually humanity's reasoning alone). This is shown through ranges of some great masterpieces of cinematography to gory and/or sometimes hilarious flicks, but all guaranteed watched to the end and left an impact on me in some way that left me unsettled to say the least.
This list has 26 out of 666 more flicks to go before it starts getting worked on properly by being put it in order with categories, mini-reviews, replacements of the lesser disturbing movies with upcoming better ones & eventually a tribute video.
For now, it's ongoing and in no particular order, so for all the fans still cinema chasing my list out there, any suggestions are of course greatly appreciated, thanks again for all the help & feedback and prepare yourselves for more to come...

Campaign Inaugurated
on 40th Anniversary of the Niels Bohr Library
The "History that Matters" campaign to help save our heritage by enlarging the Center's endowment was formally opened on April 5, 2002 at a reception at the American Center for Physics in College Park, MD. The reception was in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Niels Bohr Library, which became an arm of the Center for History of Physics after the Center was created as a division of the American Institute of Physics.
"The enterprises which are now under way," said J. Robert Oppenheimer at the dedication ceremony for the new Library in 1962, "and for which this room will serve as hearth, should make it possible, if there are serious students of the human predicament in the future, to know very much more about what has befallen us than we who are acting and living in it." Since then the Library has become the world's premier repository for books, oral history interviews and many other materials documenting the history of modern physics, astronomy and geophysics. Along with the Center's other programs for education, outreach and archival preservation, the Library has established a matchless reputation for service.
For more information on the Library and its history, see "Preserving the Heritage of Discovery," by Center Director Spencer Weart, Physics Today (January 2002), online at: www.aip.org/pt/vol-55/iss-1/p28.html

Jerry Seinfeld NYC Fall Tour Hottest Ticket
Seinfeld is planning a 5-Thursday tour of New York in the Fall. Tickets will be in great demand and the secondary market will satisfy many.
(PRWEB) July 28, 2012
For the first time in fourteen years, Jerry Seinfeld is returning to the stage this fall with a 5-day tour of New York City's five boroughs. The tickets, which go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 30 at 10:00 a.m. EST, will likely sell out quickly as the demand is expected to far exceed the supply. But tickets are already available on the secondary market at sites like CheapSeatsTickets.com.
"Anytime you have a comedian like Jerry Seinfeld on stage, the demand for tickets is going to be huge," said CheapSeatsTickets.com owner Matthew Brenner. "Couple that with only five shows and you can be sure ticket prices are going to be at a premium."
The tour opens on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan. The Beacon seats less than 3,000 people and you can be sure New York City's 8 million plus residents will be vying for a ticket. Experts believe tickets will sell out quickly leaving most with options on the secondary market.
"It's really a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity to see [Seinfeld] in a stand-up performance because he just doesn't tour much," commented Brenner. And with pause "he doesn't really have to. But we'll definitely have tickets and some of the best seats in the house available to our clients."
Seinfeld's second stop is on October 11 at the Lehman Concert Hall in the Bronx. He'll be at the Colden Autitorium at Queens College on October 18 and at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island on November 1. The tour ends on November 8 in Brooklyn at the Walk Whitman Theater at Brooklyn College.
All shows are on Thursday and start at 8:00pm as a tribute to the time-slot held by the 10-time Emmy award winning show "Seinfeld."
Slated to open for Seinfeld is fellow comedian and former MTV host Colin Quinn. Quinn, who also appeared on Broadway in the 2010 Seinfeld-directed show "Long Story Short" is expected to draw a crowd of his own.
It's certainly going to be an event many will not want to miss. And with tickets already available on the secondary market, there's no reason to!

You're just another puppet but I'm not surprised
Look at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice
They didn't change shit, house nigga's fresh off the slave ship
You'll all burn in hell even Michelle, Obama Nation
from Lowkey (Ft. Black The Ripper & M-1) – Obama Nation (Part 2) Lyrics on Genius
Strong words. Obama, who was all about CHANGE, has not changed anything. Similarly Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have both been in positions of power (Secretary's of State) and they did not change anything. Why did people expect Obama to be any different? Black the Ripper did not. He believes they are just puppets in the white mans system.
Black views them as 'house niggas', these are the slaves who were in the white mans house doing easy work and were generally treated better, and many of them defended their slavers.

Eczema: Causes & Preventions
by Justin Rassner, Health & Wellness Staff
Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder. Most often it occurs as blisters that dry become scaly, itchy rashes. When too much moisture is lost from the skin's upper layer it becomes dry and itchy, leaving skin vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. The disease occurs episodically, ranging from severe flare-ups to remission. Eczema is not contagious, but is a relatively common disorder affecting over 15 million people in the U.S. alone. The rash usually appears because part of the immune system is overly sensitive to irritation.
Symptoms of eczema occur repeatedly. When trying to identify signs of eczema look for:
From a naturopathic point of view, it's about what one doesn't do as much, or more so, than what is done. It's important to examine what dietary factors could be contributing to the proliferation of an ailment. What one avoids or includes in the diet can have a direct effect on the extremity of a break out. Potentially provoking (trigger) foods commonly include peanuts, milk, soy, fish and eggs. Foods that are high in saturated fats (like meat and full fat dairy) and trans-fatty acids (such as fried foods and hydrogenated oils) may stimulate inflammation, as might sugar and highly processed foods. Trying to identify and eliminate these trigger foods from one's diet is a good start to address the situation. There are also foods that when consumed may help reduce inflammation in those without sensitivities to these foods. Fresh fruit and vegetables (preferably organic), whole grains and foods rich in omega-3's (such as nuts, flax seeds and cold water fish) are some examples of such foods. There are also specific dietary supplements that have helped some in their struggle with eczema. Some of these better-known supplements are:
There are also certain herbs that have been used traditionally to alleviate symptoms of eczema.
It might also be necessary to make some lifestyle adjustments. Avoid anything that aggravates the symptoms, such as allergens and irritants to the skin. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites and animal dander. Common irritants include wool, synthetic fibers, soaps and detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, lanolin and chemicals (such as chlorine, solvents, and cigarette smoke) as well as dust and sand. Relaxation techniques (stress reduction), exercise, homeopathy, massage and physical therapy are elements that have been utilized with success by individuals.
Many people notice an increase of eczema during the winter months. This is most likely connected to the lack of humidity in the air. The resulting dry skin often makes conditions worse. Remember to:

Pack Light. Travel Slow. Connect Deep.
That's my motto and my wish for you.
Travel has taught me that more isn't better, fast shouldn't be an unquestioned objective, and that superficiality is best left to social media.
Pack Light
Let's get real with ourselves. Few of us want for anything.
Motorcycle travel is a study in minimalism and has taught me the virtues of simplicity.
Pack Light on the road and in your life. You'll be glad you did.
Travel Slow
Most of us hustle through our days. A need for speed becomes a way of life instead of a means to an end; a habit instead of an occasional necessity.
Road tripping has made me more mindful both on and off my motorcycle. I have learned to leave room in my days—on and off the road—for detours and serendipity.
Connect Deep
As a "slow traveler" through life, I make time and flexibility for encounters with people, the natural world, and myself.
These experiences often lead me to examine my life and live it more fully. I wrote about some of them in my book, Live Full Throttle: Life Lessons From Friends Who Faced Cancer and I write about them here on my blog.
