|Special requirements:
These deadlines are designed to allow sufficient time for application review and admission processing. Applications may be submitted after the deadline; however, there is no guarantee of sufficient time for processing. Any application submitted too late for current semester processing will be considered for the following semester.
In addition to the general admission requirements of the VCU Graduate School, selection is made on the basis of prior academic performance, professional accomplishments and other indicators of the ability to pursue graduate studies and a professional career in a field related to homeland security and emergency preparedness. The application for admission requires:
Students not meeting these requirements who have demonstrated advanced competency on a professional basis may be admitted to the program provisionally. The provisional period shall consist of the first nine hours of designated graduate work in which all grades must be no less than B. Provisional admission does not constitute a waiver of the requirement related to a standardized test.
The VCU Graduate Bulletin website documents the official admission and academic rules and regulations that govern graduate education for all graduate programs at the university. These policies are established by the graduate faculty of the university through their elected representatives to the University Graduate Council.
It is the responsibility of all graduate students, both on- and off-campus, to be familiar with the VCU Graduate Bulletin as well as the Graduate School website and academic regulations in individual school and department publications and on program websites. However, in all cases, the official policies and procedures of the University Graduate Council, as published on the VCU Graduate Bulletin and Graduate School websites, take precedence over individual program policies and guidelines.
General academic regulations for
all graduate students in all graduate programs at VCU
The Master of Arts in Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness degree program is designed in the broadest interdisciplinary sense. Students will learn theoretical and practical knowledge that will prepare them for private or public sector employment in the expanding area of homeland security and emergency preparedness and/or further study in numerous areas of public policy. The curriculum focuses upon international and domestic security and preparedness issues related to terrorist threats, such as the 9/11 attack, and natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, homeland security and emergency preparedness has become a critical aspect of governmental policy at the federal, state and local levels as well as within the private sector. The L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs believes that a stable and productive evolution of public and private sector policies in this area can only be achieved if academe recognizes and accepts its role in developing scholars, professional policy analysts and informed governmental decision makers.
The master's degree is primarily an off-campus, online, distance-learning program. It has both off-campus (online) and on-campus (at VCU) components. VCU's program takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to preparedness that will give students the ability to see the larger organizational, social, political, ethical and economic aspects of disaster studies, in addition to the policy-making and implementation aspects. The scholarly study of homeland security and emergency preparedness rests at the intersection of national defense, emergency management, law enforcement and policy management. With expertise in criminal justice, geography, government (local, state, federal and foreign), international affairs, policy planning and public administration, the Wilder School is particularly well-suited for such a program. Its location in the state capital and situated just 90 minutes from the nation's capital also provides easy access to homeland security institutions and practitioners.
In addition to general VCU Graduate School graduation requirements, students must complete a minimum of 36 graduate credit hours with a cumulative minimum GPA of 3.0.
Web-based course delivery is designed around each course's own web-based site utilizing the Blackboard education system, which provides the following:
Participation in online discussions is mandatory and will count for a significant percentage of each student's grades. Written work is submitted, evaluated and returned to students via the Blackboard education system assignment function.
During the final week of the semester, each class will have a three-day in-class session from Thursday to Saturday. It features presentations and discussion of student projects and papers, as well as lectures, seminar sessions and exercises. These sessions will include the formation of working groups of students from a number of classes in the program. Exceptions will be made for students who are unable to attend these sessions, such as active-duty military personnel or emergency managers involved in ongoing operations with provisions for maximum possible inclusion via electronic means and/or the substitution of additional student assignments equivalent to the on-campus study requirements.

Canopy Senus Touch Sensitive Protective Case for iOS Devices (Video)
Talk about "using the good sense God gave you." Looky-here look-i-here…! The forward thinking folks at Canopy have cooked up some sumptuous fondle-friendly innovation. It's a touch-sensitive iPhone case! It's so simple, it's genius.
The Sensus Smartphone case grants added touch sensitive interfacing with your mobile device by gesturing right there on the case itself (Remind anyone else of the PS Vita?). The touch inputs are on the back of the case and the right side. This opens the door to endless new ways to utilize and interface with your iPhone. Use your thumb to move up and down the right side of the case and produce a familiar scrolling effect. Stirs fond memories of the old RIM and Blackberry days.
Currently in this pre-release stage, there are several dozen supported apps and Canopy promises more apps are being added to support Sensus everyday. From the video above we see Sensus lending touch functions to maps, adventure and driving style games, basic scrolling and navigation functions and more. Hopefully more developers and software engineers will get behind this cool new interface that also acts as a nice attractive protective case for iPhone or iPad.
And here's a morsel of media for the those interested developers!
Sensus will be available for consumer purchase this Summer 2013 and currently supports iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5. iPad Mini and iPod Touch (5th gen) versions are also in the works. An iPad Retina model is also under consideration.. We will keep our eyes out for the Canopy folks this week at CES.

The "latte liberal" line-of-attack is in full force!
Hillary Clinton's decision to call Barack Obama's approach to rogue dictators "irresponsible and frankly naïve" on Tuesday is best understood as part of a broader effort to paint the freshman senator, who has captured the imagination of many upscale Democrats, as the latest in a long line of latte liberals.
Think of it as the Clinton version of the Reagan-Romney three-legged stool.
As Barack Obama's crowds continue to swell, keep telling yourself that the Iowa caucuses will be decided by people who wear eye-glasses rather than by people who listen to iPods. Oh yeah, and hold onto that tape of Obama telling ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that "everything should be on the table" when it comes to fixing Social Security. LINK
Sit back and chuckle as Obama -- who emerged as Planned Parenthood's favorite '08er -- gets pummeled by everyone from Mitt Romney to Al Cardenas to Sean Hannity for backing legislation in Illinois which would have started elements of sex education in kindergarten.
Every time Obama answers a national-security question on a topic other than Iraq, hammer him for showing any hint of softness. In Monday's debate, the issue was how to avoid being used as a pawn by the leader of a rogue regime. Back in April, the issue was readiness to use force in the face of an attack from Al Qaeda.
The Quad City Times, the newspaper at the center of Tuesday's epic Clinton-Obama showdown, has audio which you can listen to here: LINK
Read Rick Klein's account of the day's developments on ABCNews.com: LINK
Obama, who counterpunched Clinton on Tuesday by saying that what was "irresponsible and naïve" was voting to authorize the Iraq war, tends to Senate business on Wednesday. For her part, Clinton testifies on the Ballot Integrity Act at 10:00 am ET, she discusses expanded preschool at the Center for American Progress at 10:30 am ET, and she chairs a hearing on the EPA's environmental justice programs at 2:00 pm ET.
John Edwards joins seven time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong at 10:30 am ET for the fourth day of Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.
Bill Richardson is also in Iowa. He has stops in Mason City, Garner, Algona, Dakota City and Fort Dodge.
As for Mike Bloomberg, the New York mayor and potential independent presidential candidate delivers 1:00 pm ET remarks on education to the National Urban League conference taking place in St. Louis. He also sits down for an interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts which airs Thursday on "Good Morning America." Bloomberg's appearance comes two days before Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich address the same group.
Mitt Romney and John McCain both have busy campaign schedules in New Hampshire. Romney stops in Laconia at 7:45 am ET; in Franklin at 8:45 am ET; in New London at 10:30 am ET, in Concord at 12:45 pm ET, in Manchester at 4:00 pm ET and finishes the day with an "Ask Mitt Anything" town hall meeting in Bedford at 5:15 pm ET. For his part, McCain attends a 9:30 am ET forum in Manchester, NH, before meeting with local residents in Nashua and Keene.

Well I'm sure most of you have heard by now that we have lost Marc Gasol to a tear of the abdomen. Who knew he had abs? More sit-ups this offseason Marc! So right as we get one Gasol brother back from injury, we lose the other, and it couldn't have come at a worse time with playoffs going currently going on. Marc has been labeled "out indefinitely". Personally, I hate that label. What it should say is "We have no flippin clue when he'll be back or if he will be back". If I'm a Marc Gasol owner and playoffs are starting this week, I can't afford to let him just rot on my bench, so I'm adding Ed Davis (11/8/5blk) who filled in nicely last night. Another nice add is Darrell Arthur (18/7/2) but I would much rather own Davis. Both should see a ton of run regardless of whether they are starting or not. Also, Jared Bayless (30/4/3) looks to benefit as well as he was red hot last night while playing nearly 39 minutes. All three are nice adds for the stretch run if you are looking for the pl...

Temporal range: Late Paleocene–Late Miocene
|Hyaenodon gigas and H. mongoliensis
|Scientific classification
Leidy, 1869
See text
Hyaenodontidae ("Hyena teeth") is a family of the extinct order Creodonta, which contains several dozen genera.
The Hyaenodontids were important mammalian predators that arose during the late Paleocene and persisted well into the Miocene.[1] They were considerably more widespread and successful than the related oxyaenids.[2]
General Characteristics[edit]
Characterized by long skulls, slender jaws, slim bodies, and a tendency to walk on their toes rather than flat-footed (plantigrade), they generally ranged in size from 30 to 140 cm at the shoulder.[2] While Hyaenodon gigas, the largest Hyaenodon species was as much as 1.4 m high at the shoulder, 10 feet long and weighed about 500 kg[verification needed], most were in the 5–15 kg range, equivalent to a mid-sized dog.[3] Fossil evidence of their skulls shows that they had a particularly acute sense of smell, while their teeth were adapted for shearing, rather than crushing.[2]
Because of their size range, it is probable that different species hunted in different ways, which allowed them to fill many different predatory niches. Smaller ones would hunt in packs during the night like wolves, and bigger, fiercer ones would hunt alone during the daylight, using their sheer size and their mighty jaws as their principal weapon. The carnassials in a hyaenodontid are generally the second upper and third lower molars. However, some hyaenodontids possessed as many as three sequential pairs of carnassials or carnassial-like molar teeth in their jaws.[4] Hyaenodontids (like all creodonts) lacked post-carnassial crushing molar teeth (such as those found in many carnivoran families, especially the Canidae and Ursidae), and thus lacked dental versatility for processing any foods other than meat.[5]
Hyaenodontids ranged from North America to Africa,[6][7] and were important hypercarnivores in Eurasia, Africa and North America during the Oligocene, but, lost ground to the carnivoran mammals, with almost the entire family becoming extinct by the close of the Oligocene. Only four genera, Megistotherium, its sister genera Hyainailouros and Dissopsalis, and the youngest species of Hyaenodon, H. weilini, survived into the Miocene, of which, only Dissopsalis survived long enough to go extinct at the close of the Miocene.[1]

The Bad Stuff:
Carnage Quests: Kill x of y quests that auto accept and clutter your quest log. They need to allow us to auto decline carnage quests.
Eight Billion Currencies: Seriously? Its just too much. Streamline this garbled mess please.
Faction Grinds: Oh boy more factions to grind out rep with. Lock up best in slot armor enchants behind 2 months of daily quests. Stupid.
Lag/Disconnects/Bugs: There are tons of bugs in the game. Sound effects sometimes reverberate and echo to infinity until my speakers start to crackle. Bugged boss fight and mechanics. They are good at squashing bugs, but there are more to squash than I have seen in this game before.
The Good Stuff:
Dimensions: Instanced player housing. I'll take it. Player crafted housing items, ability to place, scale, rotate objects anywhere. Even suspended in mid air. Change weather, time of day, music. They add new items about twice a week. Just got practice dummies. Great RP tool. Great addition to any mmo.
Hunt Rifts: Best implementation of Rift events so far. Purchase a lure for a specific boss. Open up a tear with it. Repel waves of invasions. Place and upgrade turrets and healing wells. Engage in multi phase boss fights. All out in the open world. Anyone can join in and since there is no more mob tagging, everyone gets rewards. Well done.
Crafting: Crafting got some much needed love this xpac. As mentioned earlier, crafters can now create dimension items. The resources are spread throughout the entire game not just the new zones which is nice. Augments are now craftable. They used to be drops only, but now crafters can make augments and enhance items during the crafting process. Best change they did to crafting, imo is they made it raid ready. You dont have to grind regular dungeons in order to gear up for expert dungeons. Then grind expert dungeons in order to gear up for raids. Crafted gear has all the stats you need to get into tier 1 raids. You can be a fresh 60, buy your gear, and start raiding if thats what you want to do. Personally, I dont raid, but I do enjoy the occasional dungeon. Its nice to be able to heal effectively in expert dungeons from gear I crafted myself or bought from other crafters.
Little things:
The stuff I care about and score: 8/10
Solid, multi layered, viable crafting
For a game that started off as a tiny wow clone, it has really changed for the better in almost every way. Still has some old annoying features and mechanics that I hope to see go away some day. Thats the thing about these devs. They have proven they are not afraid to add, change, scrap, or try out new things in this game. They have proven that they listen to their community. They earn my 15 dollars a month with constant fixes, updates and additions to the game.
thanks for reading!

Spot on review - agree pretty much with both negative and positives.
Id like to add that new raids are challenging and fun. There's a dungeon where you get turned into a large robot which is an interesting twist.
overall I think it's a an awesome expansion, it's been taking up all my free time lately.
Nice. I havent done that dungeon yet. But the new chronicle also has a part where you turn into a giant mech and jump around platforms on a giant airship, blowing up engines. fun stuff.
Its strange that Trion kind of made a big deal about carnage, but downplayed hunt rifts.
Carnage not only is nothing special, its the worst feature Ive seen in quite some time, easily the worst thing they have ever added. You would think removing the running back and forth to the quest giver would improve things but it doesnt. It just makes it all the more mindless.
Hunt rifts, however are pretty cool, as youve covered. I am not a fan of carnage (obviously) nor am I a fan of IAs or onslaught (though both of these are good additions to the game), but hunt rifts are great.
Bggest issue with the expansion is it didnt add 6-50 zones and the game desperately needed them. This wont matter to the people that love the game, but it makes SL a fans only expansion when the game really needed to broaden its scope a bit.
I agree. I also think it was kind of dumb that they bullet point the capes but make no mention of the upgraded crafting system. And yeah, the hunt rifts should have been a major talking point.

Is Rift's mob density still insanely crazy? I started with Rift with early beta play and quit after I got my first toon to max level.. I hate playing the instance hamster wheel and was hoping for the game to actually be about RIFT's.. since that is the title.. I was hoping to make a career crafting and rift hunting.. How sadly disappointed I was that crafting is just a joke.. And Rift hunting to was too much of a pain because getting from one rift to another was seperated by hundreds of mobs every 8 feet.. MY GAWD TRION...... Make the world BIGGER, and tone down the damn mob density.. The game, even at end game zones just feels like I'm running through an arcade with unlimited targets.. Let me know when they change things a lot more..
OH,, btw.. give rift huntes some lovin.. I hated that there was no meaningful rewards in rift hunting.. It felt like a dead end career path..
Pretty much all of your concerns have been addressed in the expansion. Mob density has been reduced considerably since the land mass has tripled. Some areas actually are devoid of mobs. You have to search them out heh.
Crafting is viable for stepping into expert dungeons and raids. There are currently a few best in slot craftable epics. Crafters can also create housing items which adds another layer to what you can make and who your customers are. And you can also craft augments which go into the crafting process for a more customized crafting experience.
The Hunt Rift system added to the expansion is quite robust. The mechanics are a combination of the old raid rifts and onslaughts. Hunt Rifts have their own set of tiered content and tiered gear. There are upwards of 80 different encounters so far and its all setup for Trion to add more fairly easily.

I totally agree to the green part. Trion really overkilled it with their currencies and on top of that, you can't acheive ANYTHING without having to farm out all sorts of tokens and currencies -even seasonal.
want gear -> farm currency
want something for your house? -> farm another currency
want some fluffy pet? -> farm just another currency
want to craft/receipes? ...
want any holiday event's presents? ...
want to go for rifts? ...
Currencies is what has killed the game for me. I logged in for the 14th-18th event, checked some vendors for the new stuff, saw all the required tokens, planarite and such and logged out again.
Put the rep grind on top of that and you have a real grindy stinker here.

About that, I feel like it's not a grind at all. I'm having fun with different things in the game and the currency comes to me. If you really want something from i.e. an event there's often multiple ways to get it. Do the dailies or the event repeatables (the christmas/Fae Jule is sledding :D) or close rifts. There's more ways to do stuff and a lot of stuff to do. I admit there are a little too many currencies, but then again they are all gotten from different parts of the game. If you want endgame gear by doing rifts you'll need more rift currency, same goes for expert dungeons/raids/etc...
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
I can see where you're coming from. I don't mind having currencies for various game systems. But right now there is way too much clutter. For example, there are three crafting currencies for purchasing recipes. That is overkill. There only needs to be one. Same with pvp. There are i think 4 different types of ranks and currencies there. Rifts have 3 types, raids are up to like 5 or 6 now. One currency for each game system. Thats all Im sayin. Its not so much grindy. Its just too cluttered and pointless.
Now the faction rep. That is a grind. Seriously, I feel that once you have completed a faction's main storyline and killed their sworn enemies etc, you should be at the highest ranking with that faction. To tack on quests that you do day after day for a month is bad game design imo.

Im not gonna try to sell you on this anymore. You seem to have some specific prereqs. Maybe browse the official forums or I think theres still two days left to try out the xpac for free

I played some more hours on a Defiler last night and it was quite fun. At first, the soul was a bit confusing and the beacon you drop makes it almost too easy, but i've gotten soon into it. Since i played alone, i couldn't give the defiler's Links a try. I also couldn't find a straight rotation (same with my former Cabalist), as the CDs don't go along with each other -i like that alot. As with basic Rift, for my taste the combat is still a bit bland effect-wise and could use more visual power, boom on the ears and impact on the mobs i fight.
From my few hours and 1 level up:
-the runspeed-buff is great, i can't see why people complain about it on the forums. It would be nice to see the same with mounts.
-performance seems to be slightly enhanced
-mob health from 26k-30k wasn't a problem and stuff died within reasonable time, my char wearing an old mix of T1 and T2 from experts. Again i can't see why people whine about fights taking too long. Perhaps with a fresh 50 being lazy in Iron Pine-greens...do some experts, folks.
-items giving quest laying around everywhere is nice
-despite the wicked time i played (1-4 a.m.), there was still some activity in the chat (50-59 in my case) and some players around in the zones. Tempest Bay was lively.
Looking back, i wish i'd have given it more time from 14th to 18th and not just loggend in last minute. As with the original game, I expect to see a heavy price drop soon and could even see myself getting SL then. But then, there is still something about the overall setting of the game that is a turnoff to me, and for over a year i'm trying to figure out what it is.
Also, since all my friends quit playing mmorpgs, i'm left being sort of a loner nowadays and have a very hard time to socialise and connect with anyone. So maybe SL just came 3 years too late for me.

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising?

It's six of one, half a dozen of the other.
In all other games, you grind faction for this stuff. 10,000 coins vs. 10,000 faction with whoever is the exact same thing. We are talking about a graphical coin vs. a numerical representation of the faction you have - more or less.
If you want someone to show they've done a certain amount of work for a reward, you will have to find some way to represent it. IMO, having a list of 10 different currencies is the same thing as having a list of 10 different factions you're earning status with.
Are coins really a worse way of tracking your work toward a reward?
If it is so bad, how would you do it?
Originally posted by Zorgo
I just wish there would be more stuff to get by doing long quest chains.
Maybe you remember in basic WoW, there was an alliance only quest-chain that started in Feralas and rewarded you with the Sprite Darter Hatchling. WoW has (had) many good examples of loooong quests that rewarded you with certain fluff and you did not do them for gear, but for other things.
In Rift, every of these "other things" seem to be related to some currency.
Or remember in WtLK the egg that could get you a dragon mount after 5 days? In Rift, again you had to "feed" the (raptor-)egg with another currency.
Get token, mark, coin, shard, stone, planarite, ore -> get item.
Like i said, i would cut down on the amount of currencies in each system. And i would provide enough unique content per faction so that youre not stuck doing the same couple daily quests for a month. One token/currency per system and cut down the repetitive quest grind for faction rep.

I much , much prefer open world grinding over instanced dungeons , and don't mind different currencies , quests etc. I just want to find a game where I can get reasonable equipment at max level without having to do the same instanced dungeon repeatedly. It's just not my thing.
If I can buy from crafters it'd be great , or tokens/currency from open world quest/mobs etc , and no looking for the ultra stat I'm the top dps % spec equip possible sort of thing , I dont care about that , just want to be in "decent" equip without having to do X dungeon for 15th time to get that next drop as its the only way to do it.
Can you now in Rift equip yourself , as in truly "yourself" be it buying it from crafters , drops from open world Rifts/mobs etc.
I get conflicting answers on this and trying to figure that out.
Originally posted by MMOdad72
Rift, outside of the rad level, is almost entirely currency grind based. And yes, you can gear yourself off these currency grinds without doing dungeons. Invasions are your best friend in this.
The current set of best crafted gear is slightly better than what you get in expert dungeons. You can completely outfit yourself minus the trinket slot via crafting, or invasions, or hunt rifts.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Surprisingly pleasant

Posted by Reviewer1605818 on Sep 04, 2011
Every order with iHerb I like to purchase something new just to try. There are so many brilliant products out there, it is just too tempting not to try. This was my first experimental purchase, and I'm really happy with it. I use coagulated gel for shaving and general moisturizer, but had never tried drinking it before. This makes for a very refreshing and energizing drink whether straight or mixed!
Very good quality

Soaks quickly, moistens well, gently shrinks pores. Use it under my lotion/cream or in masks, or even separately when I want to shrink pores before make-up. My husbund uses it after shave.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
On October 28, 2012, in a thoughtful editorial that highlights the President's support for equal rights, The New York Times endorsed Obama's re-election. While the newspaper's endorsement was no surprise, the editorial's emphasis on equal rights underlines the significance of the November 6 election for the glbtq movement. Even though the progress of our movement may depend on the outcome of the election, in general the mainstream media has not previously made that connection so powerfully.
The editorial describes the context of the election as follows: "The economy is slowly recovering from the 2008 meltdown, and the country could suffer another recession if the wrong policies take hold. The United States is embroiled in unstable regions that could easily explode into full-blown disaster. An ideological assault from the right has started to undermine the vital health reform law passed in 2010. Those forces are eroding women's access to health care, and their right to control their lives. Nearly 50 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act, all Americans' rights are cheapened by the right wing's determination to deny marriage benefits to a selected group of us. Astonishingly, even the very right to vote is being challenged."
The editorial frames the choice on November 6 as both stark and clear. It rehearses the President's achievement in rescuing the economy and saving the country from a depression, in reforming health care, in repairing the country's reputation abroad, and in appointing qualified justices to the Supreme Court, while reminding readers that Romney "has tied himself to the ultraconservative forces that control the Republican Party and embraced their policies, including reckless budget cuts and 30-year-old, discredited trickle-down ideas. Voters may still be confused about Mr. Romney's true identity, but they know the Republican Party, and a Romney administration would reflect its agenda."
Observing that "there are still big hurdles to equality to be brought down, including the Defense of Marriage Act," the editorial concludes with a section on Civil Rights in which it emphasizes the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and marriage equality.
Lauding the President's support for marriage equality and the Justice Department's decision not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act against constitutional challenges, the editorial points out that Romney "opposes same-sex marriage and supports the federal act, which not only denies federal benefits and recognition to same-sex couples but allows states to ignore marriages made in other states. His campaign declared that Mr. Romney would not object if states also banned adoption by same-sex couples and restricted their rights to hospital visitation and other privileges."
The Times's emphasis on equal rights is especially welcome since gay issues have largely been neglected by the mainstream media this election season.
For example, none of the questions asked during the debates had to do with equal rights, and neither candidate directly addressed gay issues in their answers.
In the last debate, in a non-sequitur response to a question about gun control, Romney may have made a nod to "traditional" marriage when he said, "We need moms and dads raising kids, wherever possible."
Similarly, the President may have dog-whistled to supporters of marriage equality when, during the discussion of whether Romney was any different from George W. Bush, he said that Romney was even more extreme on social policy than Bush was, zinging that the former governor wanted a defense policy from the 1980s, a social policy from the 1950s, and an economic policy from the 1920s.
The President has, however, frequently and forthrightly expressed his support for marriage equality and touted his achievements in advancing equal rights both in stump speeches and in campaign videos.
In contrast, Romney has attempted to avoid addressing social issues except in safe venues where his opposition to equal rights is popular.
Nevertheless, progress toward equality will be greatly affected by the outcome of this election.
This point is made very clearly by two members of the theatrical community who have made Facebook posts that have gone viral. Both are in the form of appeals to friends who are considering voting for Romney.
Playwright Doug Wright, author of I Am My Own Wife, wrote this on his Facebook page:
"I wish my moderate Republican friends would simply be honest. They all say they're voting for Romney because of his economic policies (tenuous and ill-formed as they are), and that they disagree with him on gay rights. Fine. Then look me in the eye, speak with a level clear voice, and say, 'My taxes and take-home pay mean more than your fundamental civil rights, the sanctity of your marriage, your right to visit an ailing spouse in the hospital, your dignity as a citizen of this country, your healthcare, your right to inherit, the mental welfare and emotional well-being of your youth, and your very personhood.' It's like voting for George Wallace during the Civil Rights movements, and apologizing for his racism. You're still complicit. You're still perpetuating anti-gay legislation and cultural homophobia. You don't get to walk away clean, because you say you 'disagree' with your candidate on these issues."
Actor Max Von Essen, who is currently appearing in the Broadway revival of Evita, wrote the letter below in response to a friend who expressed support for Romney:
Listen, I know you didn't mean any harm commenting on this post and I like you, we had some great times growing up. But Romney and Ryan believe that I am less than you. They believe I am a second class citizen and don't deserve the same rights that you had the privilege of being born into simply by being straight. They want to add a constitutional amendment that will ban gay marriage forever. It will set us back decades and ensure that I never legally have the opportunity to have a family or a partner in my lifetime.
They also believe that being at your partner's side when he/she is dying is a benefit, not a civil right. They could keep me from my partner dying in a hospital. Could you even imagine something like that in your own life? Being separated from your wife on her death bed? Could you imagine your marriage never being recognized and being told that your family is not a family and you do not deserve any federal rights that comes with marriage. Over 1100 rights. Did you know that? 1100.
Ryan doesn't believe in the hate crimes act fought unwaveringly for by Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard, murdered for being gay in Wyoming. Murdered for being gay. Could you imagine if I was murdered for being gay? Could you really look my mom in the eye and say 'oh well, we can not prosecute this crime as a hate crime'?
I know there are important issues involved in this campaign. I know people are suffering and the economy has not improved at a rate we all wish it would. Yes, people are suffering but the gay and lesbian community has been suffering for hundreds of years and I am so tired of it. So tired of feeling that I am less than. So tired of knowing I have friends on here who will vote for someone who will keep me a second class citizen for my entire lifetime. I have already spent half a lifetime hiding, half a lifetime conforming. It is exhausting, demeaning and I am worn out. I want to love myself full out. I want a president who can look me in the eye and say 'You are equal!' 'You are equal to everyone else in this country and I will fight for your rights. The time is now and it is long overdue.' Romney and Ryan could not look me in the eye and say that and I feel sorry for every gay and questioning child who might have to listen to a president who believes that he/she is not equal. Children will take their lives. It is the WORST form of trickle down bullying and it absolutely splits my heart in half. When the president says you are less than, it gives permission to every authority figure, every politician, every teacher, every bully on the playground to push you around and bully you and treat you less than. It is dangerous and lives will be lost.
If this is not important to you, please remove me from your friends list. I need people in my life who love me and consider me 100% equal.
Friends who vote for Mitt Romney may not really be friends.

In Photoshop Elements 9: Scanning and Restoring Photos, professional photo restorer Janine Smith shows how to bring new life to old photos. The course begins with a look at the types of photos that may require restoration, including slides, negatives, prints, and newspaper photos, and options for scanning them. She discusses the types of scanners that are available, from flatbed to film, and the best settings to use for originals. The course then delves into Photoshop Elements tools and techniques to help restore clarity to faded photos and fix problems such as dust, scratches, and tears. Exercise files are included with the course.
There are certain settings that should be the minimum for scanning photos when archiving your photographs digitally, or for digital photo restoration. If you're making an archival copy of your photographs to capture them in their current state of decay for future preservation, you should get the best possible image in the highest resolution you can manage. Resolution is referred to as either DPI or PPI. DPI or Dots Per Inch refers to the printer and print resolution, or how many dots of ink is printed per inch.
PPI or Pixels Per Inch refers to how many actual pixels are present per inch. This is directly related to scanning. If you scan an image as 72 PPI, the traditional standard for the web, the image will have 72 pixels in each inch of the, let's say, 4x5 image. If you scan at 600 PPI, there will be 600 pixels per inch in the same size image. Obviously, the higher resolution will be clearer, sharper, and easier to enlarge.
Although some scanners scan up to 9600 pixels per inch or PPI, that's probably overkill. Run a test scan as high as 1200 PPI to see the clarity you get. Some photos don't scan well at this higher resolution. Go down in increments of 300 PPI. In other words, run a 900 PPI scan next, then a 600 PPI. Save the archival scan as a non-compressed TIFF image. JPEGs lose a little of their information each time they're opened, resulting in a loss of quality over time.
TIFF images are lossless, meaning they will remain the quality at which they're scanned. High-resolution TIFF images will take up a lot of hard drive space. If you're archiving your family photo collection, consider storing the files on an external hard drive. The resolution doesn't need to be quite as high for photo restoration projects, but still should be at least 300 PPI, if at all possible to be able to have the most clarity when working close-up, for general image quality, and to have the potential of enlargement in the future.
Always scan your photos in color, even if the photo you're scanning is black and white. I can't stress enough how important this is. If a photo is scanned in color, it will have color channels. In this case, RGB color channels. Even if the photo is black and white, there will be information in each of these three; Red, Green, and Blue channels. Usually one channel, most likely the red, will be lighter, the green a little darker, and the blue darker still.
But most importantly, it will allow you options you won't have if the photo is scanned in black and white, which it flattens into one channel. Photoshop Elements doesn't have color channels as a separate entity, but it does have color channels and levels, and you will use them. Another option you won't be able to take advantage of if you scan in black and white, are the midtone adjustments such as midtone sliders, and eyedropper's in Levels Adjustments. Scanning your photos, weather for restoration purposes or for digital archiving, should be done with certain minimum settings in mind to ensure the best quality image for the intended purpose.

You can't derail a thread that doesn't have a set topic.
So no.
I've seen it all now. Apparently shaky cameras are WWE ripping off TNA.
I know the pain my man. I have to keep my thoughts on TNA directed towards PMs because it seems as though the posts in the TNA forum is set more toward someone having to spread their opinion of hate to the company instead of actually talking about what things you currently dislike. I am always open for a discussion on TNA as I enjoy the overall product more than WWE, but I am not a fan of posters taking the time to put out dribble of hatred that sounds like a 14 year old Emo chick I knew from 2002 ("Life sucks, This is shit, Whoever likes this stuff is a sightless drone", etc)
If you ever would like an extensive (and probably long winded ;) ) discussion on TNA, send me a PM and we can chew some fat on the topic.

Alvarez-Yairi- K. Yairi Discussion Group
A discussion group for Alvarez-Yairi and K. Yairi guitar enthusiasts. Pictures of hand making process, info on various models, links, tips, etc. Members are from literally around the world.
Kazuo Yairi
I have a really nice classical Y305P, dated 1987. Had it shipped from Japan. Can anyone give me any info (construction, value, etc.)?
Seek info on Alvarez Kazuo Yari Guitar
Would anyone have any information or source of info on Alvarez Kazuo Yari guitar Serial No 57514 and Model No. DY 56GB? Thanks for any help or direction to find info.
Unknown K.Yairi guitar
First I must apologize for my poor english. I am a bit out of practice, but I hope I shall be understood.... .
This spring my lifelong dream of owning a K. Yairi guitar came true and I found a dreadnought K.Yairi in the style of a Martin D 35/45, most similar to a YW 1000. Unfortunately all the labels inside the guitar have vanished over the years. Serialnumber, modelnumber and year of production can not be read. The lable is - i guess rather unusal - brown with the logo and the K.Yairi writing in silver. On the neck the numbers 48373. This guitar was bought in the famous Steinway - House in Hamburg/Germany in, I guess, the late 70ies or early 80ies. If then used or new, no idea. The hardware is golden.
The head does not show the typical vertical letters (like Martin). The name K. Yairi is written horizontal.
I would be very thankful if anyone could help me! I tried it by mailing my question to the K.Yairi website twice, but noone answered! Which is not a service I think.
Thanks in advance.
Dateing your Yairi
There are a number of things you can do. Older Yairi guitars are dated in the year of the emporor.
If you google yairi guitar dating it should come up. ALSO there is another yairi guitar site on yahoo that is a lot more active then this one. It is mainly information on K. Yairi guitars sold through Alvarez, but there is also other information as well.
There is information on Yairi on the web if you take the time to google it and so on. Oe thing you may or may not know is that K. Yairi sells his guitars in the United States through Alvarez as Alvarez-Yairi and they have the A/Y logo on them. Any where else in the world including Canada they are Yairi. Some of these I have seen Just have a Y on the headstock The non US guitars have a different but sometimes simular model numbering system esp. o the newer models.
There are usually some of the non Alvareal guitars on Ebay for sale so you can look at them and compare photos.
There are also a lot of photos on the Yahoo-Yairi website to look at for comparison.
I hope this had helped.

k yairi dy50 1980
Hi i own a k yairi dy50 made in 1980 in japan. Would u know or where to go to get a price on what its worth and is it worth paying for a refert. As i was offred this for 400.00 a few years back. As i not sure what to do and would i pay alot more to get the same sound as this great gutar.
Thank you. But dating my
Thank you.
But dating my guitar is not the problem. The problem is just that my guitar should be a YW 1000, but the numbers on the label under "model" could mean everything, but definitely n o t YW 1000! With a good deal of fantasy you could see a 3 and a 6. So I guess it is not a YW 1000. I've seen lots of pictures and read lots of infos in the net, but until today I found nothing about a f.e. special edition.
I have written an email to the official european K.Yairi webside twice but they did not answer, which is quite a poor service in my opinion.
I wanted to own a K.Yairi since I first heard of them in the mid seventies. But for a long time they were very hard to find in Germany. And finding an historic model as a YW is still very seldom. And - funny enough - they are not very expensive because in Germany erverybody who thinks he is an expert would never pay a high price for a not all - solid guitar!
This is my last attempt to find out something about a guitar. If it remains a secret I will tell everybody that it is a YW 1000!
I also own a DY56GB. They are an interesting guitar. As far as I know they were only offered one or two years. The only information I could find was the 1985 Yairi catalog. If you google Yairi catalog or Yairi brochure you should get the website with the brochures, Check the 1985 brochure. There are 3 or 4 pages with stuff on the guitars.
My DY56GB has 4 knobs on top and 2 output jacks on the bottom. According to the brochure this is the DY156GB model,
But my label in the guitar has DY56GB printed on it. As you will see when you read the brochure this guitar has a "split" pickup.
one pair of the volumn/tone knobs is for the first 3 strings (base) and the other is for the last 3 strings. You split the pickup into 2 amps. OR you throw the switch and it plays like a regular E/A.
Its an interesting guitar. Yairi used this set-up on a number of guitars, but this was the first. I hope this helps.
Bruce in Oregon
Info on Yari DY56GB
Thank you so much for this info. I will definitely try to find site with brochures. I did not know that this is how the switches are splitting the strings and that it would need to run off two amps but this must be the stereo effect the person I bought guitar from said that it was capable of? They had not really played it much after they bought it so they weren't much help. I am sure this is obvious to others but what exactly do you mean "throw the switch" does that mean set the toggle switch specifically fwd or backward to achieve something specific??? Also is E/A Electric/Accoustic???? Thanks for your help really love the guitar so far for so many different reasons!
The little toggle switch will switch you from split pick-up (stereo effect) to just a regular Acoustic/Electric pickup
The site with the Yairi catalogs is Alvarez by K. Yairi Comes Alive! It is my understanding that you only need to use 2 amps if you want the split effect.
They also made other models of the DY56 that did not have the split pickup and they only had 1 set of volumn/treble knobs and one output jack. I think that Yairi called the split pickup arrangment Bi Phonic. I have not had mine very long.
When I called the guy I bought mine from he told me that the back was like an Ovation, but when I looked at it I could see that it was not a plastic back like an Ovation. Looks like wood to me. I just got around to putting a battery in mine yesterday but have not had time to plug it into and amp yet. Again google Yairi Yahoo for the Yahoo site for Yairi guitars. You will find photos of my guitars at that site, and more information.
Alvarez Yairi
I have an Avarez Yairi. The bottom half of the label in the sound hole has been cut off so the serial number and model number are not documented. It has the script Alvarez logo. It has Abalone hexagon inlay on the finger board, and white/black/white/black/white binding. The body has abalone binding front and back, and the sound hole as well. Between the two piece back is a flower design inlay. It has the adjustable bridge, grover USA tuners, stamped in the neck set block is 11469. I believe with certainty it is a model 5060, and not a 5070. Can you tell me what year build it is. Thanks
The fact that your guitar says Alvarez in script on the headstock and not A/Y tells me that it is pre-1974.
1973 seems to be the change over years for the logo. I have a late (november) 1973 5065 (which became the DY74) It has the A/Y logo on the head stock. I have seen other guitars dated 1973 that had they Alvarez logo.
The model number to letter/number change in model indentification started in 1975 (IE 5065 be comes the DY74)
There is a yairi group on YAHOO that is very useful. ALSO Yairi guitars have a number stamped into the base of the neck. (inside the guitar) This will date your guitar if you know how to read it.
INFORMATION on Yairi Guitars: Google Yairi-Yahoo, Yairi brochure, and Yairi serial number and or build dates. You will find the information you need, Your guitar sounds like a 5060 which I beleive became the DY85 which is a very nice guitar.
I believe them to be the best acoustics to come out of Japan.
I have 4 Yairis and each one is has its own voice and its own charm.

Date Code
Earlier Yairi's are hard to date because they used a code based upon the year of the Emperior. "If you google Yairi Date Code"
It should come up. I think looking at the date code your guitar was made 11/71

K. Yairi CY-118 1993 Model
I have been offered a great condition K. Yairi CY118 made in 1993. It is loud with beautiful tone, I am considering buying. The asking price is $500, would anybody consider that a good deal?
The yairi CY-118 is a very fine guitar. If its in excellent condition with with a quality hard case then this is a very fair offer.
Check e-bay. You will see them from around 350, to over a $1,000. If the neck is good and it shows no damage then go for it.
If you are not sure what to look for then take it to someone who does to have it checked out.
Bruce from Oregon
I got a k-yairi
I bought a second hand one through the internet auction. The model is Alvarez GF-1. I am going to debut as a musian with it.
One day, I found a good music live restaurant in my hometown. They offer amature musians their stage to play free. I saw some perfomances there and made sure that I have no problem with the level of my play ability so that I decided that. I am not familiar with guitar things but I know K-yairis are Japanese handmade and sound very well. The guitar I got is small size because I will bring it to my hometown from my present place by train. The first song I will play will be "Take Me Home, Country Roads". How exact with my situation!

K. Yairi 5017
I have an Alverez hand signed by Kazuo Yairi. It has a signing year of 1970. Got this by trading a Fender Bandmaster amp about 35 years ago. I seldom play it and aside from a few blemishes it's in very good shape as far as I can tell. As stated, the model is a 5017 and has a serial number of 332. I may be interested in selling this ride but not really sure of it's value. Wondering if anyone can help.
1975 DY-85 Alvarez Yairi acoustic
I own the above subject guitar, which has been stored under the bed for the last 30 years. It has some wonderful patina, some pick scratches, original Grover tuner pegs, and an old Barcus Berry bridge pick-up.
Can anyone tell me
More on the history of this guitar and what it may be worth..?
Thanks and best regards,
Alvarez Yairi DY-85
The DY-85 is an was a almost straight copy of the Martin D-41. you can get at least $5oo but the are going for around $1200-$1500. I personally wouldn't sell it if i where you.
Dy-39- - - BEAUTIFUL.
Just bought a dy-39 off craigslist for 300 bucks. It's in mint condition and is going to be 25 ears old next year. I love it and have been looking for a yairi for ahwile. And at that price, nothing could be better. I'm hoping to start accumulating a collection of yairi guitars....But yes, it's beautiful and plays well. Also has a nice fishman pickup in it. (Yes-300 BUCKS!!!!)
1985 dy63
I have a 1985 dy63 and love it. it has the lowest action of all my guitars and doesnt buzz out at all. it has a warm sound with a bi-phonic pick up. however, it doesn't match the pics of others i've seen! the head doesn't have the alverez logo on it anywhere? and the tuning pegs have yairi on them not alverez. just the k yairi on the top and the head? is this a different guitar from normal dy63's ? i've looked everywhere and all the others i've seen have the alverez logo on the head!
I have a DY 63 that sounds exactly like yours. It has Yairi machine heads and the K yairi logo on the headstock. It also has a K Yairi signature etched into the top towards where the jack inputs (there's two of them) are. I've also been confused by mine as it has the year of production stamped on the inside sticker, as being 1990. All the other ones I've heard of are from 1985...
If you ever decide to sell your DY-63 I would be interested.
1974 Yairi CY130 back and sides.
I have a Yairi CY130 I am selling and it has stirred up quite a controversy about the material used in the back and sides. I thought it looked like Brazilian rosewood, outside and in, with the same or very similar grain pattern on either side, and I saw that was what was being used in the newer ones, so I just assumed that was what it was. I got an email stating that it is "coral rosewood" and is laminated. I just want to answer the question correctly, so does anybody know what the sides and back of a 1974 CY130 are made of? The date code is 49374. I know very little about classical guitars, I mostly play electric, so thanks in advance for your help.
I have had two 1974 CY-130's. To my knowledge, they were both laminated coral rosewood. But, both were good guitars.

Double neck Alvarez Yairi - acoustic
CIndy - thank you for the response - I am interested. I used to play in clubs years ago and a friend of mine owned a guitar store and loaned me guitars to play that were far better than the one I owned or could afford . For a few months I played the double neck Alvarez Yairi and it was heaven . Thirty years later, I have raised my kids and with my husband , educated them, maintained a good marriage, worked throughout and buried both of my Parents. So... I think it's time for me to go back to a former joy. Please let me know what you are asking and if you have any photos that would be great.
Warmly, Suzanne Hogan
