The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art continues sharing art with the Charlotte community with free admission to Niki de Saint Phalle's breathtaking sculptures located on The Green, the outdoor area across from the Bechtler. As an added bonus, at some of these sculptures, there are free call-in numbers to hear more information.
Mark your calendars, because this Saturday, May 7 is Family Day at the Bechtler, which encourages kids to explore their artistic side outdoors. Admission is free for kids 18 years old and younger. Adults receive a discounted ticket price of $4.
The Bechtler's exhibition, "Niki de Saint Phalle: Creation of a New Mythology" is on view March 18 through Oct. 3, 2011 and includes a variety of her work spanning the decades, from whimsical etchings to her powerful, and sometimes disconcerting, sculptures. "Niki de Saint Phalle: Creation of a New Mythology" is a kaleidoscopic journey where things don't always appear as they seem.
Like the "L'oiseau de feu sur l'arche (The Firebird)" sculpture out front, her large, high-contrast creations steal the show. "La Cabeza ou Tête de Mort (Grande)," or the skull, out on The Green is a work that literally draws you in. The materials she combines with shiny mirrors create a treat for the senses. Be sure to walk around her sculptures, because different views produce a variety of feelings. Also, make sure to sit inside of "La Cabeza" to perhaps feel a deeper connection with de Saint Phalle. Note "The Empress," also filled with a mirrored interior, was her home as part of a major project called the "Tarot Garden" in Tuscany. There is a small maquette of this sphinx home in the exhibit.
Like de Saint Phalle's artwork, the historic relationships of the Bechtler's artists are equally fascinating. Artist de Saint Phalle was married to artist Jean Tinguely, and the couple was close friends with architect Mario Botta. The distinctive Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is one of only two buildings in the United States designed by the eminent Swiss architect Botta. The fact that the Bechtlers were friends with de Saint Phalle and Tinguely influenced Botta's involvement in this project.
Off the elevator of the fourth floor of the Bechtler, you will see "L'execution," a kinetic sculpture by Tinguely created with pieces from Andreas Bechtler's attic. While viewing, make sure you ask someone to turn on the Tinguely sculptures. Glance across the museum through the center atrium windows and you will see de Saint Phalle's "Horus." These two face each other and, for a moment, one can imagine the collaborative energy between this husband and wife.
Charlotte is also home to Tinguely's kinetic sculpture "La Cascade," which is featured in the lobby of the Carillon Building, 227 W. Trade St., Charlotte, N.C. Created in 1991, "La Cascade" was the last large sculpture by Tinguely before his death later the same year. This sculpture is a powerful example of the artist's play with vision, sound and rhythm. It's on view during regular business hours for free.
Back at the Bechtler, de Saint Phalle's work explores her personal mythology in such a way that almost anyone can enter it through the playfulness. Yet, there is something uneasy and dark below the surface. In a similar way, the Bechtlers have shared what seems to be an extraordinary art collection. But, look deeper and experience the intertwined life of artists and their patrons.
As you leave her exhibition on the fourth floor, the title, "Death doesn't exist. Life is eternal" seems an appropriate statement to sum up the show.
"Niki de Saint Phalle: Creation of a New Mythology" is on view March 18 through Oct. 3, 2011 at Bechtler Museum of Modern Art at Levine Center for the Arts, 420 S. Tryon St., Charlotte, N.C. 28202. Visitor Services: 704.353.9200. Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Closed Tuesdays.
Please note the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation provided funding to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art to increase the young museum's reach by creating a digital library of the rarely seen, 1,400-piece collection.

pre VZW
so now that they tweeted that it will actually be available on vzw in early 2010 I gotta make a decision. I've never had a pda on any network. I am on vzw now with a flip phone. I'm test driving the Pre on Sprint now and really like it, and all the 3rd party apps and all. I still think the vzw network has better coverage in my area... and honestly I don't care about the plan price difference. My main concern about waiting on the pre for verizon is whether they will cripple the crap out of it and stop me from getting all those delicious 3rd party apps. anyone with experience on this matter please let me know.

Ashville is a town in Pickaway County, Ohio, United States. The population was 4,097 at the 2010 census.
In 1812 two distilleries were built near Ashville and were owned by William and Richard Staige (Stage). The land that is now Ashville was at that time primarily the property of Richard Staige. After many years he sold his distillery to Mahlon Ashbrook, who did a large business with his brother Absolom. He also built a grist mill on Walnut Creek about 1845 and owned a large store that was run by his sister Idy and her husband Daniel Kellerman. Kellerman was the first postmaster in Ashbrook (later Ashville). The Ashbrook's enterprises failed in 1855. From that time, until the construction of the Scioto Valley Railroad through Ashville and the advent of a depot in 1876, business was slow. Ashville was incorporated in 1882, with the first mayor being W. R. Julian.
A historical museum, Ohio's Small Town Museum, is operated in the community.[6] The museum, established in 1975, claims to be home to America's oldest working traffic light, which directed traffic in downtown Ashville until the 1970s. This signal was designed by local resident Teddy Boor.[7]
Ashville is featured in the Together Concepts video production "We Are..Teays Valley". The video depicts a surprising number of achievements and innovations, as well as connections to American and world history.[8]
The Puppeteers of America organization was first incorporated in Ashville in 1961 and the Puppetry Journal was published by the Pickaway Publishing Company in Ashville.
Ohio's oldest surviving 17-star U.S. flag representing Ohio's entry into the Union of States was found in an attic in a house on Long Street in Ashville.

Snake Den Mounds are an upland mound grouping that is located 5 miles east of Ashville, noted as much as a hibernation spot for blue racer snakes as for the curious collection of silver nuggets found in hollow concretions.
Ashville's Fourth of July Celebration has been featured in articles by the New York Times and the Philadelphia Enquirer. The celebration was captured by famous social realist artist and photographer, Ben Shahn, in 1938 for the Farm Security Administration. Thousands of people come from all over the state to enjoy the parades, fish sandwiches, musical entertainment, games, rides, small town atmosphere, concessions, and fireworks.
The Ashville Viking Festival has been drawing crowds since 2003. The focus is on fun and the 10th Century.

GOP Still Wandering In The Wilderness
Published by AJStrata at 10:12 am under All General Discussions
The one national GOP personality to rally record crowds (and who drew the largest TV audience for any national debate for all time) is being marginalized by those who have failed to succeed nationally:
Congressional Republicans decided Tuesday to ditch the former GOP vice presidential nominee in favor of the former House speaker for the critical House-Senate fundraising dinner in June 8 in Washington. It's the marquee Republican event to raise money for GOP House and Senate candidates.
No wonder these fools are losing the national debate. Get a clue folks, Palin can totally upend the political equation with her amazing support from women and families that span the political spectrum from left of center to right of center. That core of the electorate who decides who wins national elections.Â
And she is a heck of a fundraiser too! What a bunch of losers.

Aitch748 says:
If I didn't have enough reason already to be suspicious of the GOP establishment in DC, this would settle it for me.
But I guess if you take on corruption in your own party, you're going to make enemies in your own party, particularly if large numbers of members of your own party have gotten comfortable building their nests and their networks of influence in DC.
Mike M. says:
AJ, my reading of that article is that Palin & Co. were sending mixed messages about accepting. So the Congressional Republicans went with the former Speaker who led them to a majority in 1994 – a majority that started eroding the instant he was tossed out.
I'm not sure it's a bad decision. The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that Palin will be President…but not the 45th President. Gingrich is VERY reminiscent of Winston Churchill – highly successful, then a decade in the wilderness. To be followed by spectacular success.
The country is looking for a big-picture leader. Newt is one. Nobody else is showing an inclination to do so.
kathie says:
The reason Sarah Palin, or "Joe the Plumber", resonate is because they are regular people. The Democrats demonize them because they want us to believe that THEY represent the regular people when really THEY have become the party of hot house flowers. Know for sure that if Carville demonizes someone it is because they speak the language of us, and we like it. Is Palin smooth, and knowledgeable on every topic, no, but her instincts are good, her core resonates with us, and the politicians in DC are embarrassed. The biggest opportunity that the Republicans have is a spokes person for the "folks" with someone like Sarah and they flubbed it.
Mark says:
I read another post about this earlier today and got the impression that this may have been initiated by Palin or her team rather than the GOP people in charge of the event. She is fantastic and needed by the party and her country but this is a marathon, not a sprint. Newt has been sorely missed so it is great to see him back in the game too. If this is a longer term strategy to build Palin and her resume for a powerful 2012 run, great! If Newt is signaling that he is back in the public view with his powerful, well articulated, and overwhelmingly intelligent views we win again. We need every conservative we have to derail the liberal hijacking of America. It is 2010 and 2012 that really counts….we need all of them!
Phineas says:
I think you're being a bit unfair to the Republican establishment in this case, AJ. Granted, they've done plenty of dumb things in the past, but it appears the initial "acceptance" came from SarahPAC, not from the Governor's office. I'm not sure if it has to do with federal law or if it's Alaskan statures, but there are barriers to the two coordinating with each other. It's also very difficult for an Alaskan governor to get away during the legislative session, and they may be going into a special session that lasts through the date of this dinner. I suspect the organizers incorrectly assumed SarahPAC could commit for Governor Palin, but she found it too politically difficult (in Alaskan politics) to confirm the commitment. Going with Newt as keynote speaker then becomes a necessary "plan B."
BTW, conservatives4palin.com is a good source for the "straight dope" on all things involving the Governor. They do a creditable job at laying out the facts when people spread misinformation or smear Sarah Palin.
crosspatch says:
The Republicans seem to be "eating their young" politically. There isn't a single candidate put forward that doesn't get ripped apart by one faction or another of the party.
It is like 1976 all over again. Reagan was ripped as an incompetent movie star without qualification to run a government and he lost the nomination to Ford who went on to lose the general election. George HW Bush did the same thing to Reagan in '80 calling his economic plan "voodoo economics".
At least Regan had a plan, something no Republican has so far put forward. All we see are criticisms of the current goings on but nobody putting forth an alternative and rallying Republican candidates nationally toward that vision.
In a nutshell, there is either a lack of leadership or too many knuckleheaded factions that will only follow a leader of their own political persuasion.
Attitudes like "conservative first, Republican second" destroy the party because there is no "conservative party". There are more and less conservative Republicans just as there are more and less conservative Democrats. The real difference between Democrats and Republicans is the role of government. THAT is where the focus needs to be and it needs to be like a laser. Don't get sidetracked on social issues, keep focused on the role of government. That is the issue that unites more Republicans than any other.
CatoRenasci says:
I love Sarah Palin, but I do worry that with the populist persona the mainstream media have defined her as having, she risks becoming the Republican's William Jennings Bryan – a perennial party favorite who cannot win in the country as a whole.
Phineas says:
Just to follow up on my earlier comments, if the writer at conservatives4palin.com is correct, then AJ has reason for his exasperation: Apparently the organizers couldn't wait for the end of the Alaska legislative session in a few weeks, at which point she would have been able to give them a confirmation:
Terrye says:
I saw something interesting about this a few days ago. It seems they ask Palin to be the speaker without clearing it with her first. She was busy. I am not sure she wanted to do this in the first place.
I don't know if this is some sort of a snub or just a screw up.
I like the lady, but it seems to me that every since 1988 the Republicans have a tendency to break up into little cliques and fight each other. There are a lot of people on the east and west coasts who do not like people like Palin, it is regional snobbery and it is not just a Republican thing, but in this case I think party intra fighting excaberates the whole situation.
Needless to say this is not the time for that.
Terrye says:
I have challenged some of these people on the blogs and such to star their own conservative party if they feel that the Republicans are not true blue conservative enough for them.
But they do not want to do that, it would require money and organization and all sorts of things. What annoys me is the tendency to believe that while they are indespensable to the party, all the people they don't agree with are not.
gary1son says:
Dittos on the Conservatives4Palin site. I can't believe how many posts they churn out on a daily basis, most focusing on Sarah. But then they do have several contributers.
If Sarah decides to run, it's going to be MAINLY UP TO HER to extend her already enormous appeal to enough people to win. She's going to have to do a better job of defining herself, expressing herself on policy, and picking her venues. I think she knows perfectly well now that people like Katie Couric, who most average people have no idea her partisan goals, are only out to put notches in their liberal belts. She needs to at least insist on there being no edits, or no interview. Fool me once.
As far as we the keyboard people, I would suggest simply politely debunking, in as credible and thorough a nature as is possible, whatever false information and accusations you come across on the web. There's an army out there both assigned and on their own immediately flooding any new Palin story or article with negative, often false nonsense about her.
This needs to be countered, the best way being with polite facts. Hence C4P, and some of the other sites that are linked there that are also good resources.
GuyFawkes says:
What does it tell you that, as a Democrat, I am *PRAYING* that Palin is the GOP nominee in either 2012 or 2016?
gary1son says:
Yep. That's how I and lots of fellow wing-nuts used to feel about the current occupant. PLEASE nominate that guy with that light resume, those associations, that stance on national defense and that liberal voting record.
Truth is — he likely wouldn't have won if not for the late-breaking economic panic and McCain's goofy reaction to it, even given the MASSIVE media complicity.
As always …… careful what you wish for.
gary1son says:
That complicity being perhaps best typified here:

Police, citizens rescue 6 ducks from storm drain | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
A local man and police were able to help several ducklings escape a storm drain and reunite with their mother Wednesday morning.
Monona police Lt. Frank Fenton said two officers were called to the Starbucks on Monona Drive for a report of baby ducks stuck in a sewer drain at about 7:30 a.m. The caller told police the ducks in the drain could be heard squawking from the street.
Fenton said a man named Fred, a citizen who happened to be in the area, climbed into the storm drain and handed six baby ducks one-by-one to Monona patrol officers Jeremy Winge and Vicki Peterson. Fenton said in this case it was the citizen who really saved the critters, since they called and it was Fred who went down into the drain.
Fenton said three other ducklings in the storm drain were not pulled out because they swam further into the sewer and could not be reached.
The other six rescued ducks were returned to the mother duck, who was nearby at the waterline.
Fenton said calls about water fowl stuck in drains or walking along roadways are common.
"We probably get a couple (calls) a year because the ducklings go into the sewer grates .. and the mother hovers around the sewer grid," Fenton said.
It took about 40 minutes to pull the babies out, Fenton said.
Two other citizens helped in the duck rescue.

The highly anticipated Retina iPad mini may not ship alongside the fifth-generation iPad, according to a new report by CNET.
If there's one Apple product I've been eagerly looking forward to, it's the iPad mini with Retina display. Sadly, it appears that I and countless other prospective buyers may have to wait longer than expected.
The fifth-generation iPad aka "iPad 5″ is widely believed to be set for release this October. But according to Rhoda Alexander, director of Tablet and Monitor Research at IHS iSuppli, "The Retina mini looks less certain for that time."
This is on account of the device's current manufacturing volumes, which are said to be more feasible for a first quarter launch next year than for an October launch this year.
Alexander is quick to note, though, that Apple may very well announce the Retina iPad mini alongside the iPad 5, but not necessarily ship the former at the same time as the latter.
Well, we'll know for certain when Apple holds another "special event" for its new iPad lineup, which is expected to be held sometime in October. For our projections on what this event may bring, check out "Is Apple Working On An October Surprise?".

Samuel Jared Taylor (born September 15, 1951) is an American journalist and an advocate of what he describes as "racial realism".[1] He is the founder and editor of American Renaissance, a webzine that has been described as a white supremacist journal and a "forum for writers disparaging the abilities of minorities".[2] Taylor is the president of the magazine's parent organization, New Century Foundation. He is a former member of the advisory board of The Occidental Quarterly. He is also a former director of the National Policy Institute, a Montana-based white nationalist think tank.[3]
Taylor and many of the organizations he is associated with are often described as promoting racist ideologies by, among others, civil rights groups, news media and academics studying racism in the US.[4][5][6][7]
Early life[edit]
Born to missionary parents in Japan,[8] Taylor lived there until he was 16 years old. His parents were conventional liberals,[clarification needed] and so was he until the age of 30.[citation needed] He graduated from Yale University in 1973 with a BA in philosophy, and did graduate coursework at Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po). He has also worked in west Africa, and has traveled the area extensively.[8] In the 1980s, Taylor was West Coast editor of PC Magazine and a consultant before founding the American Renaissance periodical in 1990.
He is the author of Shadows of the Rising Sun: A Critical View of the Japanese Miracle (1983), in which he wrote that Japan was not an appropriate economic or social model for the United States, and criticized the Japanese for excessive preoccupation with their own uniqueness.
Taylor first turned to race in Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America (1993),[9] in which he argued that racism is no longer a convincing excuse for high black rates of crime, poverty, and academic failure. He also edited The Real American Dilemma: Race, Immigration, and the Future of America, (1998).[10]
Taylor supervised preparation of the New Century Foundation monograph, The Color of Crime (1998, 2005), which observes that blacks and Hispanics commit violent crimes at considerably higher rates than whites, and that whites commit violent crimes at higher rates than Asians.[11] He is the main contributor to a collection of articles from American Renaissance magazine called A Race Against Time: Racial Heresies for the 21st Century, (2003)[12] and editor of a collection of essays by the late Samuel Francis entitled Essential Writings on Race, (2007).[13]
On May 3, 2011, The New Century Foundation released Jared Taylor's sequel to Paved With Good Intentions entitled White Identity: Racial Consciousness in the 21st Century.
Taylor believes that white people have their own racial interests, and that it is intellectually valid for them to protect these interests; he sees it as anomalous that non-Hispanic whites have allowed people of other races to organize themselves politically while not doing so themselves.[14] His journal American Renaissance was founded to provide such a voice for white interests.[15]
Taylor has summarized the basis for his views in the following terms:
Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. Of all the fault lines that divide society—language, religion, class, ideology—it is the most prominent and divisive. Race and racial conflict are at the heart of the most serious challenges the Western World faces in the 21st century... Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse.[16]
He has questioned the capacity of blacks to live successfully in a civilized society. In an article on the chaos in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Taylor wrote "when blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization—any kind of civilization—disappears. And in a crisis, civilization disappears overnight."[17] Taylor believes in a general correlation between race and intelligence, where blacks are generally less intelligent than whites, and whites are generally less intelligent than East Asians, as expressed in the controversial book The Bell Curve. Taylor has said in an interview:
I think Asians are objectively superior to Whites by just about any measure that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful society. This doesn't mean that I want America to become Asian. I think every people has a right to be itself, and this becomes clear whether we're talking about Irian Jaya or Tibet, for that matter.[18]
Taylor has also given support to Hans-Hermann Hoppe's attempts to persuade libertarians to oppose immigration; he generally approves of Hoppe's work, although he sees the pursuit of a society with no government at all to be "the sort of experiment one might prefer to watch in a foreign country before attempting it oneself."[19]
In a speech delivered on May 28, 2005, to the British self-determination group, Sovereignty, Taylor said of his personal feelings to interracial marriages, "I want my grandchildren to look like my grandparents. I don't want them to look like Anwar Sadat or Fu Manchu or Whoopi Goldberg."[20] Taylor has gone on to say that "people in general if left to themselves will generally sort themselves out by race," and has said that churches, schools, and neighborhoods are examples of this.
Taylor's views have been described as "racist" by many academics, political commentators, journalists, and various other organizations.[4][5][6] Taylor himself rejects any accusation of racism; he claims that his views are reasonable and moderate, and observes that they were considered normal by most key figures in American history.[8]
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Taylor as "a courtly presenter of ideas that most would describe as crudely white supremacist — a kind of modern-day version of the refined but racist colonialist of old."[21] A 2005 feature in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette described Taylor as "a racist in the guise of expert".[4]
Mark Potok and Heidi Beirich, writers in the Intelligence Report (a publication of the Southern Poverty Law Center), has written that "Jared Taylor is the cultivated, cosmopolitan face of white supremacy. He is the guy who is providing the intellectual heft, in effect, to modern-day Klansmen." They have also stated that "American Renaissance has become increasingly important over the years, bringing a measure of intellectualism and seriousness to the typically thug-dominated world of white supremacy".[22]
Conservative author and former National Review contributor John Derbyshire, while not condoning all of Taylor's work, has said that Taylor is a "polite and good-natured man;" a "dissident" whose opinions "violate tribal taboos."[23]
David Horowitz, the editor of FrontPage Magazine, has said of Taylor that he is "a very intelligent and principled man", and "a very smart and gutsy individualist, but he is also a man who has surrendered to the multicultural miasma that has overtaken this nation and is busily building a movement devoted to white identity and community. We do not share these agendas. What I mean by "surrendering" is that Taylor has accepted the idea that the multiculturalists have won."[24]
Writing in the Nashville Scene, Jonathan Meador described Taylor as "genteel, erudite, and soft-spoken" with "the charisma of someone half his age."[25]

President Obama spoke for the first time on the Trayvon Martin case today, calling it a "tragedy" and that "it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this."
African-American leaders have been calling on the President to speak out about the case which has caused a national outcry. Some noted that Obama personally called Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student vilified by Rush Limbaugh over her Congressional testimony on the birth control mandate, but has made no such gesture to, say, the parents of Martin.
Obama opened his remarks saying that he didn't want to impair any legal process, particularly the ongoing Justice Department investigation. But he added this:
"I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen," said Obama. "And that means we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident."
Obama said, "My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin… if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon. I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and we're going to get to the bottom of what happened." The remarks came at the end of his announcement of the nomination of Jim Yong Kim to head the World Bank. It was the only question he took, and it appeared the White House wanted to give him space to answer it.
The reference to examining the laws and the context is a fairly clear reference to the "stand your ground" law, the NRA-promoted measure that allows citizens to hold their ground and even use deadly force if they feel threatened, claiming self-defense. "Justified" self-defense killings in Florida have tripled since the advent of that law. In the wake of the Martin case, civil rights leaders and other advocates have called for a re-examination of it.
For weeks Trayvon Martin's death occasioned no response from pretty much anybody. Now the President of the United States is talking about it. That's a victory for the activism work put into this tragedy. Now it's time for results.

11 "I like to look at your penis when we make love."—Jen, 34
12 Notice she didn't say "your huge penis." Women rate extremely long penises as less attractive than those of a more average length, according to a 2010 study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. Seeing you in action is what excites her. "Penises are sexy to women," says Tierney Lorenz, M.A., a researcher at the sexual psychophysiology laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin. "Women are visual creatures, too. In fact, both sexes are turned on more by sight than by other senses." Toss the covers aside or place a mirror beside the bed to give her a better view.
13 "Even though I'm straight, I watch girl-on-girl porn and touch myself during it."—Lisa, 28
14 "Research shows that straight women's vaginas will respond to erotic pictures of men and women, men and men, and women and women," says Lorenz. "Her genitals respond to just about any sexual cue—in many ways, her vagina operates on autopilot."

Nipple tassels are currently a staple of the burlesque world, and glamorous incarnations of them can be found across the world in beautiful sequins, silks, leathers everywhere from high end boutiques to high street shops.
Agent Provocateur Exhibitionist Book – showcasing the brands famous Nipple Pasties
Meanwhile in the very bronzed streets of Essex women openly talk of 'vajazzles', making their bits glitter for extra glam after a wax.
Vajazzle – diamantes are a popular choice for application at a Beauty Salon
So where did these body decorations come from – are they related? And what's the future for them?
Although less publicised, the Merkin (also known as a pubic wig) came first, but it's origins were not of glamour. In the 1450's poor hygiene meant women were at higher risk of pubic lice. It was not the fashion to be bare there so the wig was used to cover the baldness. Prostitutes took advantage of this practice to hide syphilis and other STI's, meaning their source of income was not at threat by worried customers.
A sketch depicting prostitution as 'a great social evil'
The first time they were used in a public way was on the stage – men used them to disguise themselves as women when nude (at one time only men were allowed on stage). Then it was discovered that such coverings could provide 'decency' to prevent prosecution from the Police – and so followed pretty nipple coverings, popularised in the 1920's. Carrie Finnell, a little known US exotic dancer added tassels to her nipple coverings to enhance her 'most unusual act' in which she could independently move and twirl each breast at different speeds after having trained her pectoral muscles as a P.E. teacher. She inspired the well loved Gypsy Rose Lee to strip, and needless to say nipple tassels soared in popularity.
Carrie Finnell – 'The Most Unusual Act in Show Business'
Modern Use
These days nipple coverings are used for the everyday; to stop nipples showing through clothes (also known as breast petals), as an alternative to sunbathing topless, and in Hollywood films to cover a stars real assets. The most popular form of use though is in burlesque which has helped them to our personal lingerie drawers too.
Nipple Petals
Merkins have also had some sort of revival, although with a largely kitsch reputation they are often used in the burlesque and lingerie world to match the beautiful nipple tassels we are now adorning ourselves with. There is also the body jewellery/vajazzle update. No wig – just pretty décor.
Should I wear them?
Yes! Though the modern day vajazzle can come with a somewhat brash reputation, nipple tassels & matching merkins can make an exciting change to your lingerie drawer and are sure to please. Here are some fun and exciting ideas for you to try!
Hot Cakes – Why not try wearing this set by Bad Biscuit under your apron when doing some baking? Sure to put a smile on your partners face!

State Security Service
Redirected from Military
this wiki
|State Security Service
Ukrainian Government
Supreme Commander-In-Chief
|Notable members
| We are here to protect you from the Zone, not the Zone from you. Do not jeopardize your life, do not try to penetrate through the secure area.
- Loudspeaker Broadcasts at the Cordon
The Ukrainian government, through its Ministry of Internal Affairs (Ministerstvo vnutrishnikh sprav Ukrayiny, MVS), maintains the Zone's perimeter with internal troops from the State Security Service[1]. The internal troops, who are often referred to simply as the Military, are tasked with providing and maintaining security along the borders of the Zone, in order to prevent unauthorised incursions by stalkers, and by extension, distribution of artifacts to the outside world without government supervision. They are in practice however, one of the most corrupt groups operating within the Zone; security personnel frequently shoot at stalkers for sport, engage in extortion, and accept bribes in exchange for ignoring smuggling operations.
Background and History in the ZoneEdit
Following the Second DisasterEdit
In the early days of the Zone, internal troops of the State Security Service formed the bulk of human presence in the area. While it is never directly established how much territory was under military control, it can strongly be assumed by wreckage and abandoned fortifications that most of the Zone was at least lightly overseen by security personnel. In the wake of the first and second emissions however, the military steadily lost its hold over the interior of the Zone to newly formed anomalies and increasingly more prevalent mutants. Following the debacle, they issued a decree stating that any unauthorised personnel who attempt to enter the Zone are to be shot on sight. However, because of their corruption and low morale, this was poorly enforced as people who were awed by marvelous stories of the Zone became attracted to it and started exploring the very area that the military barred it from. These people came to be known as Stalkers.
Clear SkyEdit
In Clear Sky, the Ukrainian Military is relatively prevalent in the Zone. However, the Second Emission that begins Clear Sky has shaken up the military considerably, and, caught in the middle of the faction wars and new anomalies, the military loses significant amounts of territory. Most notably, their primary base in the Zone, the Army Warehouses, is infested with psychic anomalies, turning all but twelve of the men stationed there into zombies. The surviving soldiers are soon after mopped up by the mercenary Scar, in order to gain access to the watchtower.
In their secondary base in the Cordon, however, the military seems to have fully recovered. They are better organized with a lot more firepower, which Scar finds out when he first enters the Cordon from the Great Swamps. Their stationary machine gun turret on the second floor of the Northwestern building of their base is quite an obstacle, covering a large area to the North and the West of their base. This gun is so powerful, its rounds can penetrate through fully grown trees and still cause damage when they hit.
When coming from the Great Swamps, Scar's best chance of survival is to run for a gap in the barbed wire fence under a tree to the Northwest of the base, and then run again towards the Northwest from that gap.
If this military base is to be taken by Scar, his best option is to enter this base over fallen trees on the fence just East of the North entrance of the base, since an assault from the North or the West is akin to suicide.
The Military's grip on Limansk all but vanishes as Monolith and Clear Sky both pour into the area, along with the other factions such as Duty and Freedom, who attempt to push into the Zone's center. Their garrison (with another stationary machine gun turret), along with a military helicopter, are annihilated by Scar.
By the end of Clear Sky, the Military presence in the Zone is all but eliminated, restricted to monitoring the entrance to the Cordon. At some point between the events of Clear Sky and Shadow of Chernobyl, however, the Military establishes a power-base in Agroprom, taking it from the Loners and Duty.
The Military make a final appearance at the Pripyat Hospital, where the player has to shoot down a Mil Mi-2 Helicopter. Finally, they are part of the opposition rushing to the center, they can be seen fighting; although since the scene between the Hospital and the CNPP chase was removed from the original game, they are not actually encountered by the player.
Shadow of ChernobylEdit
In the original STALKER, the Military are much less prevalent then they were in Clear Sky, having lost much of their territory in the faction war and the aftermath of the Second Emission. However, they have a much more secure grip on the Cordon at this point, as well as a new commanding officer (Major Kuznetsov), having presumably eliminated Father Valerian and disrupted the unity of the Loners faction. In addition, they occupy Duty's former headquarters in the Agroprom area, and routinely launch raids upon the stalkers in the area.
Initially, the military remain unaware of the more recent developments in the Zone. After the Brain Scorcher is deactivated by Strelok however, the Military launches an aggressive campaign to retake Pripyat and the Chernobyl NPP, sending in elite Spetsnaz units along with BTR-80 APC's and Mil Mi-24 Hind Gunships. Despite this however, those that are not killed by the fortified Monolith faction or the Marked One are presumably killed in the Third Emission, erasing whatever gains the military may have made.
It is perhaps worth noting that the focus of the military changes between the two games. In Clear Sky, the military is dedicated towards sealing the Zone and establishing superiority, despite significant casualties. By the time Shadow of Chernobyl approaches, the military are more resigned to their position as a thorn in the Stalkers' sides, and have changed priorities, assisting the Ecologists in securing Yantar and leading investigations into the suspicious activities around the Zone committed by the previous occupants. Their garrison in Yantar seems to have been wiped out however, with most of the personnel turned into Zombies, leaving the task of securing the Bunker to Dutyers, Loners, or Mercenaries looking for work.
Call of PripyatEdit
The player, Major Alexander Degtyarev, works as a military stalker, sent by the USS to investigate the failure of Operation Fairway and locate survivors. Most likely due to strong opposition by the rest of the other Stalkers who inhabit the zone, the major is undercover. This is also evident when searching for potential rescue points from Stingray 3, Beard will comment that too many here remember what it was like when avoiding the machine guns at the Cordon.
The rest of the military forces in the Zone are all made up of Spetsnaz operators and Military stalkers who partook in Operation Fairway and were carried into the Zone using Stingray gunships. However, the operation failed when all of the gunships were either shot down or disabled by anomalies. Most of the soldiers who did survive the crash were either killed by the zone's mutants and anomalies or turned into zombified stalkers by the subsequent emissions.
Those who survived the Zone's horrors, excluding Sokolov who managed to find safety elsewhere, made their way into Pripyat and took the laundromat from the Monolith. The military survivors are led by Colonel Kovalsky. They were eventually evacuated when they managed to reestablish communications to their headquarters.

2008 Nitto Tire King Of The Street - Crown Of Treads
11 Competitors Vie For The Nitto Tire King Of The Street Crown
Matt Simonds
We didn't know much about Matt Simonds' '03 Mach 1 prior to the Nitto Tire KOTS. Pretty much all we knew was that it had made over 900 hp, and it was a pretty nice car. The exterior was stock Mach 1, but that didn't bother us. The fact that it had a stock exterior intrigued us even more as to what was under the hood and how the car was able to make over 900 hp in the first place. It looks like a stock Mach with Cobra R wheels. We were curious.
When we first saw the car at the event, we weren't blown away. The car wasn't the cleanest, but Matt blew us away when he told us he drove the car to the event from his home in Nashville, Tennessee (just over an hour away). Yeah, it's just an hour, but that gave us an indication of why Matt's car seemed the most road-weary. It didn't surprise us to hear Matt drives the Mach on a daily basis. When I took the car out for the Ride and Drive, I found out why.
Matt's was the fifth car I drove for the Ride and Drive, and it was truly a breath of fresh air. It was a piece of cake to drive, truly was like driving a stock Mustang. The Steeda Autosports/QA-1 suspension setup is perfect. The Mach's driveability is stock-like, and it has a friendly gauge layout, a nice stereo, and cold A/C. With no cage in sight, it's easy to get in and out of it. The shifter is nice and the clutch is easily familiar. Obviously Matt's Mach impressed on the Ride and Drive.
When we had the competitors draw names to decide the running order for the Horsepower segment, Matt drew the short straw to be the first car on The Horsepower House's Dynojet. We're hesitant to call Matt's dyno session a guinea-pig test run because the runs did count, although we learned a couple extra hundred pounds of ballast would be needed in the trunks of the KOTS cars.
The turbocharged cars like Matt's come up on boost so fast and the tires hit so hard that the tires were spinning on the dyno. Matt's first pass resulted in tire spin, but he was able to make a complete dyno run on his second pass. However, he wasn't too happy with the dyno showing "only" 802 hp, but that's what the dyno read. Everyone had to run on the same dyno, so no one was getting preferential treatment. If one car was down, it has been our experience that every car would be down as well, and this KOTS competition was no different.
All told, for basically a daily driver, Matt's Mach represented itself very well. After making 802 hp, Matt's Mach scored a 5 in the Horsepower segment. With an 11.69/129-mph pass, he scored a 5 in the Drag Race segment as well.
Since Matt's car is a daily driver, his car wasn't as detailed and clean as some of the others. Therefore, his Mach took a hit in the Engineering and Fit and Finish categories, scoring a 6 in both. Because of the car's driveability, it scored a 9 in the Ride and Drive category. And thanks to relative close proximity to home, Matt enjoyed somewhat of a home-field advantage scoring an 8 in the Popular Vote category. Matt's Mach 1 finished with a final score of 67.5.

Except it is about you, Rep. Akin. Akin told NBC this morning that Paul Ryan called him yesterday and urged him to drop out of the Missouri Senate race. Akin is continuing his argument that his decision to stay in the race (the deadline to drop out was yesterday at 5 pm cst) that this isn't about him but about standing on principle. The problem is, the focus isn't on principle, it's on Akin's refusal to drop out like nearly the entire conservative movement and Republicans have asked.
Akin also went on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday and accused Mitt Romney of using the situation for political gain.
Democrats are already fully profiting off of Akin's decision.

A money-obsessed teenager has taken internet trolling to a new level with outrageous boasts about his luxury lifestyle and enormous wealth.
The 17-year-old from San Francisco, who likes to call himself Lavish, claims to be extremely wealthy and wants the whole world to know it.
'My life is like Louis Vuitton, everyone wants it,' he explains on Instagram. 'You made ur bed so sleep in it peasants.'
The teen appears to spend his days flaunting his cash in pictures and videos he posts on various social media accounts and currently has over 70,000 followers on Instagram.
In one picture he can be seen posing with six different Apple iPhones, while other posts include snaps of a Bentley sports car, gold watches and his luxury apartment.
He also claims to only wash his hands with Pellegrino sparkling mineral water and only uses expensive gold-plated staples on his paper.
In a series of YouTube videos, Lavish can be seen counting stacks of $100 dollar bills 'to make himself feel good'.
He also likes to troll celebrities with messages about his vast wealth, labelling American socialite Kim Kardashian 'cheap' and 'a true peasant'.
In another post, he offered to give away $60,000 (£49,000) to one of his followers and has also snapped himself tying money to balloons before letting them fly away.
His antics appear to have angered some internet users however, who have labelled him a 'leech on his parents' and 'smug'.
'You're not rich, your mum and dad are rich. You are just a leech,' said one.
Another added: 'Counting all his money cos he ain't got no chicks or friends….'
However a more impressed user wrote: 'The man is a hero. Trollin at the very highest level.'
as a photographer, I see the pictures were shot as HDR as you can see the halo's around him and the trees among other indicators..

A Drinking Team with a Cycling Problem
ha. aside from the fact that I love the idea of being able to beat atlanta 3 times and rub it in their fans faces, I would much rather play them than detroit. detroit scares me more. I think we would win regardless of who we play, but I think the Lions who have a better shot to come in the dome and take one from us.
stafford > ryan
The way I dunk on you is going to look unorthodoxed
I've thought about it and I still want to beat your team.
I think the only way it happens is if our front four defensive players have a great game. We simply can't blitz Brees, he'll destroy us. We need our D-line to have a game like they did against Chicago on Monday Night, or San Diego, or Denver. If they don't have a game like that then we won't score enough.
