Game Manual
In 18 Wheels Of Steel: Extreme Trucker you will take on the role of a daring truck driver working in the three exotic locations: Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road, Australian Outback and Yungas Road. All of these real world locations are extremely beautiful and extremely harsh at the same time. You will start in the Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road as a complete newbie, and later as you progress through the game, you will get the chance to transport more demanding and even intimidating cargoes over longer distances, and often in severe weather conditions. Later, when you gain enough experience to be offered jobs in Australian Outback and Yungas Road, you will be able to travel between the locations freely. However, you will start as a beginner in each region and you will have to work your way up through the ranks to become the most respected driver with the most intriguing offers.
The work you will be doing sounds simple on paper: transport loads from one place to another. However, the harsh environment and challenging cargoes make it far from simple, so there are a few things you should be careful of. Firstly, each job has a time limit. If you don't make it in time, before the timer bar goes all the way up, you will be penalized. Don't worry though, it doesn't mean you should drive carelessly, racing the other cars on the narrow roads and risking damaging your cargo or truck. You will have plenty of time for your delivery, just be careful of stalling or wandering around for too long.
Also, be wary of damaging your truck. There is no way of repairing it while on the road, and any damage to your truck or cargo will be penalized. You will start each job with a fully functioning vehicle and you will be expected to return it that way. You will also start with a full tank. There should be enough fuel to take you anywhere you need, but you may spend it all eventually. Once you're out of fuel the job's over. You will not get a chance to refill.
Don't forget that the locations themselves have their own dangers, and there are plenty of ways to get your big rig broken or stranded in the wilderness.
|Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road
|Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road, the northernmost ice road in the world. Driving on the ice with heavy loads has been always risky, even if it's over 3 feet thick. Occasional thick fog doesn't help the situation. If you hear any cracking sound, better slow down and try to avoid any cracks you see on the road.
While facing the dangers of Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road, you will climb up through these progress ranks:
Highway Maggot
Ice Road Trucker
Seasoned Trucker
Polar Bear
King Of The Road
|Australian Outback
|Australian outback is mostly vast, dusty desert. There you will haul huge road trains over hundreds of miles, but be careful: If you take too curvy road or make a too sharp turn, you're in trouble. Part of your load may break loose and you will never be able to attach it again by yourself.
While facing the dangers of Australian Outback, you will climb up through these progress ranks:
Trucking Enthusiast
Outback Ranger
Road Train Commander
Desert Captain
|Yungas Road
|Yungas road is a narrow mountain road also known as the Road Of Death. Driving too fast here may result in fatal consequences very quickly. A moment of recklessness or inattention may send you off a cliff or get you stranded in the rough terrain with a broken truck. There are places, sky high in the mountains, where only one vehicle can fit at a time. In combination with dense traffic it's certainly not a good place to be speeding at.
While facing the dangers of Yungas Road, you will climb up through the following progress ranks:
Mountain Goat
God's Favorite
Camionero De Dios

Pure Sourwood Honey is dark in color and thick in texture. The flavor of this fantastic honey can only be described as large and in charge! Sourwood honey is bold and up front, flaunting big maple and spice notes.
The Cherokee Indian tribes of the Appalachian states used the wood from the Sourwood tree to construct their arrows. Cherokee people would also chew Sourwood tree leaves to eliminate thirst and dry-mouth.

Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
WIMAX relay station mesh network has been approved by IEEE 802.16j as a standard to provide a highly data rate transmission, the RS was implemented to extend the coverage zone of the BS, for instance the MSs previously were out of the coverage of the BS they become in the coverage of the RS, therefore these MSs can have Admission control from the BS through the RS. This paper describe a problem in the mesh network Relay station, for instance the problem of how to serve the Mobile Stations (MSs) which are out of the Relay station coverage. This paper also proposed a solution for mobile stations out of the coverage of the WIMAX Relay stations mesh Network.

Summer Camp (Rough Guide)
Summer camps are usually held in July for 10 to 12 days.
All IFHOHYP member countries are invited, other countries that are not members are also welcome to participate in the summer camp.
There are usually about 50 to 100 participants and 20 members from the host country. The leaders are usually in numbers of 5 to 10 people. The host country is responsible for the camp and the leaders usually come from the host country.
Remember To
The way of raising money differs from country to country so it is impossible to make any rules or guidelines.
Other Things To Think About
Address lists or e-mail lists of contact persons in the member countries to send the information to so that they can distribute this important information on to their members.
Contact someone with experience from arranging summer camps so that he or she can advise and perhaps guide you on how to make the preparations, how to raise money and tell you about summer camp traditions.

(i) Fall 2008
Complaint Policy
The B.C. Press Council adheres to the general principles that have been commonly followed by all Canadian Press Councils. These Policies are set out for information purposes. The policies evolve over time.
A. Opinion
Since inception in Canada, Councils have defended freedom of the press on behalf of the public and the press and have advocated full freedom of public expression and speech both oral and written. Since freedom of the press is an extension of the individual rights to freedom of speech, any derogation of the right affects the other.
Council regards newspaper editorials, columns, critiques, commentaries and the editorial cartoons as journalism of opinion and examples of freedom of the press. Council also believes it is appropriate for newspapers to exercise wide latitude in expressing their opinions in editorials, no matter how controversial or unpopular the opinions may be, and to give columnists and others the same latitude in expressing personal opinions.
B. Letters
to the Editor
Letters to the editor are not composed by journalists. They are the work of readers communicating issues to the public. Each newspaper elects to publish such letters under its own guidelines. These letters serve the purpose of letting the readership become more involved by raising issues of common interest in the community. The newspaper always looks to ways of increasing interest of readers in its product and thus generating sales.
The editor reserves the exclusive authority to shorten such letters to fit available space, to publish such letters, or not to publish such letters.
The decision is subjective and wholly within the criteria important to each newspaper. The newspaper may have professional guidelines as to what it will publish from time to time in the letters to the editor portion of the newspaper.
The content of the letters written by members of the public are not subject to journalistic standards enforceable by the B.C. Press Council. It is not expected that the newspaper will research any background material presented in such letters, nor adopt any of the opinions as its own.
Typically, the newspaper will run a letter and response, or it may run a series of letters on a topic, depending on the flurry of interest received from the readership.

2 Inch Feather Pulled Out Of Seven-Month-Old Baby's Neck
We have all heard of little kids doing crazy things- but having a feather pulled out of their neck? A Kansas couple rushed their 7-month-old daughter Mya to the hospital after they noticed a large swelling in her neck.
Originally the doctors believed the swelling to be a swollen gland- then, however, the swelling grew to the size of a golf ball- which in a baby's case is humongous- as a small bump resembling a pimple appeared atop of it.
The doctor then came in and scraped off the scab that had formed, revealing some sort of string or stick jetting out of the open wound. The doctor then pulled out the feather.
The theory is that Mya inhaled a feather from the parents' down pillow and it must have gotten lodged in her neck; the little girl's body started to reject the feather and pushed it out through the girl's neck.
They said that she had rarely been on the pillow and that it had been stored away for months.
Mya is said to be "almost 100% recovered".

Assume a New Position
Assume the Cuban Plunge sex position: As you assume the man-on-top position, ask her to bring her knees to her chest and drape her legs over your shoulders. Her vagina will be elongated and extended, and your penetration will be deeper and more pleasurable for her, which qualifies as a win-win situation.
Praise Her
Compliment her in front of your friends.
Just Kiss
The next time you kiss her, don't try to steal second. Just kiss. Men use kissing primarily as a means to an end—to advance sexual relations. Yet women mainly use kissing as a way to monitor the status of the relationship, and especially a partner's commitment level.
Keep the Lights Low
One of the biggest reasons women can't relax during sex is body image. Keep the lights low. A candle? Perfect.
Show Her Passion
"Passion" means being in the moment and not being distracted. Sex is a conversation, and she doesn't want to feel like you wish you had your BlackBerry.

Spitballin' (or Super Pass It To Bulis: All In, if you love adventurous acronymizing) is a feature that allows us to touch on a multitude of things really fast, because in the world of hockey, there are always lots of things to find and colour. Here are a few topics that deserve mention.
Brendan Gaunce has been killing it lately
The Canucks first round pick in 2012 didn't get off to the best start this season, partly due to a second degree shoulder separation he suffered back in October. He had 18 points through his first 26 games – solid production, but not what the Canucks had hoped after he scored 68 points in 68 games last season. Since then, however, Gaunce has been ripping up the OHL, scoring 17 points in 10 games, including a run of 6 goals and 11 points in 6 games.
Considering the lack of depth at center right now for the Canucks, it's heartening to see Gaunce turn his season around. It may not be long before Gaunce is skating in a Canucks jersey.
The Canucks are looking for a new intro song or two
The Canucks have skated onto the ice to U2′s "Where the Streets Have No Name" for ages, but the song has its detractors, mainly based off the opening lyrics: "I want to run, I want to hide."
Now the Canucks are looking for a new intro song, but they're not getting rid of the old one. They apparently just want to mix things up a bit and are asking for help from the fans.
The video is worth watching if only to see Laurence Gilman pretend to take the Canucks' intro song super, super seriously. Also, to see Bruce Allen suggest that the Canucks should get in touch with Chad Kroeger of Nickelback to write a custom intro song, which immediately invalidates every single opinion he previously expressed.
We here at PITB have a strong pro "Where the Streets Have No Name" stance, but we're open to change. That is, we're open to change if it means that "Bieksa Real Good" becomes the new Canucks intro song.
Things sure turned around quickly in Toronto
After the Leafs' first two games of the season, in which Ben Scrivens only allowed 3 goals total, Leafs fans had essentially decided that they didn't need Roberto Luongo. Scrivens was the answer in net, apparently. Now, just two games later, the panic is back, after the Leafs lost 7-4 to the Islanders, with Scrivens giving up 5 goals on 25 shots, with some of them being truly terrible.
At least, Steve Simmons would have you believe that the Leafs are desperate for Luongo again. I say, if teams gave up on a goalie every time they gave up 5 goals, the Canucks couldn't trade Luongo away because they would have already gotten rid of Cory Schneider after the first game of the season.
Kassian trained in MMA, gave Ben Eager a concussion
I can't help but think that these two things are connected in some way. Mike Gillis revealed on the Team 1040 that Zack Kassian did some MMA training during the off-season. To quote Gillis, "I really like the outcome."
One of those outcomes: a concussion for Ben Eager. Kassian nailed Eager with a couple good punches in their fight during the Canucks' game against the Oilers. Gillis said that he wanted Kassian to be ready for when he is challenged on the ice, and he clearly was.
Gillis also said, "I'd prefer that he didn't fight guys that are were limited players," suggesting that an Eager/Kassian tradeoff wasn't a great deal for the Canucks. As Gillis said, he "shouldn't bother with those guys." I agree. Kassian was arguably the best player on the ice in that game. Losing him for five minutes took away the possibility of him scoring another goal.
Speaking of Kassian, he cannot believe that he's getting a penalty
These two photos by Ian Lindsay (PNG) and Darryl Dyck (CP) from the game against the Flames are absolutely hilarious, especially when viewed together.
Yes, Kassian, planking on a goaltender is a penalty. It's in the new CBA.
It's early in the season, so maybe don't panic
It's absolutely true that the Canucks have struggled to start the season. They've given up 2-goal leads twice in a row and have only picked up 3 of a possible 6 points. It's also only three games in. To highlight exactly how ridiculous it would be to panic right now, with a Canucks win against the Ducks and a Wild loss to the Red Wings, the Canucks would finish the night first in the Northwest Division.
So, y'know, don't flip the pool. I know it's winter and you're not swimming in it right now, but you'll regret it when summer comes around again.Tags: Brendan Gaunce, Flip the pool, intro song, spitballin, Zack Kassian
I totally agree with the Couturier idea, I was just suggesting it to a buddy after Philly's last loss. Of course, it would only happen if Holmgren lost his mind but I'd be totally in favour of it. I'd also be in favour of a trade with Wahsington if it netted us Evgeny Kuznetsov but that will never happen either.
Re: Gaunce.
"Considering the lack of depth at center right now for the Canucks, it's heartening to see Gaunce turn his season around."
If I'm not mistaken, he's been tearing it up because he was switched to wing, awhile ago. At least, according to a tweet from Tyson Giuriato, who keeps tabs on Canucks prospects.
Vox Populi by 30 Seconds to Mars?
Not a particularly well known number, but it's got a good arrangement of musical elements that would suit an intro song. The lyrics are suitable too, mostly. Although, I could see how some people might say that it wouldn't pump the crowd up enough…
Personally, I'd love to see the Canucks use something Swedish to pay tribute to the many Swedish stars in their history. You could probably do something cool with "New Noise" by Refused, "Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones" by The Hives, "By the Grace of God" by The Hellacopters, "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake" by The Sounds, or any number of Opeth, In Flames, or At The Gates songs.

Product description
What makes us react or feel the way we do? If you have ever asked yourself this question, then let John Medina take you on a tour of the fascinations and frustrations involved in the quest to understand the biological basis of human behavior. By describing the gap that exists between a human behavior and a human gene, this fascinating book, first published in 2000, seeks both to clarify and debunk ideas about the genetic roots of behavior, from the genes of divorce to the tendency to eat chocolate. Using Dante's The Divine Comedy as an organizing framework, The Genetic Inferno explains each of the Seven Deadly Sins, but in terms of twentieth-century genes and brains. Written by a practising research scientist, this book is not for biologists, but for literature majors, business people, parents, and anyone interested in how our genes work to make us behave the way we do.

Review quote
'[Medina] has admirably attempted to make this as entertaining and easy to read as possible. Indeed, the book's great strength is the lucidity of its exposition of the science of human emotion. Further, Medina peppers the text with some quite fascinating examples of seminal research concerning human behaviour ... [his] prose is energetic and enthusiastic ...' Canberra Times '... a rich introduction to the current state of the art in understanding the interplay of genes, hormones, synapses and neurotransmitters, which somehow link brains and behaviours ... a cleverly constructed account of some of the most difficult problems of contemporary biology ... welcome additions to the popular literature.' Jon Turney, The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, wrath, envy and pride: Medina successfully uses these sins from Dante's Purgatorio as a vehicle to introduce those genes and their products that influence human behaviours ... Everyone should read the conclusion - in private, unless you enjoy laughing in public.' Hugh Fletcher, The Biologist 'A book to be read by the non-scientist who wants an in-depth view into the workings of genetics, John Medina is clearly an author to do this job. ... the book is a must for philosophers who still get the creeps when they discuss genetics.' Pierre Mallia, Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, A European Journal

Speaker: DJ Steve Boyett - Podrunner - December MeetingPublished November 21st, 2008 in Meeting, Speaker.
For our December OC Podcasters meeting we have a speaker lined up, DJ Steve Boyett. We're asking that you PLEASE RSVP on the meetup site so we can get a headcount for how many will be attending.
As a writer Steve Boyett has published novels, short stories, and feature screenplays. In 1999 he took some time off from writing, and during this period he learned to play the didgeridoo, a unique Australian wind instrument. This led him to learn about digital recording, which led to composing electronica, which led to DJing. Which, as everybody knows, leads straight to heroin.
He swore he'd never be a DJ. When he started DJing, he swore it was just for fun and he'd never play out. When he started playing out, he swore it would only be at parties. When he started playing small clubs, he decided the smartest thing to do would be to swear never to become filthy, stinking rich.
Steve has played clubs in Hollywood, Vegas, San Francisco, and Reno; Burning Man; conventions; after parties; and private events. He produces three of the world's most popular music podcasts: Podrunner and Podrunner: Intervals (workout music mixes), and Groovelectric (dance music mixes of what he calls New Old Funk). His novel Ariel will be reprinted in summer 2009, and his novel Elegy Beach will be published in fall 2009.
You can find more info and where to RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/ocpodcasters/calendar/9152802/

If your mom likes to make scrapbooks, then the hardest part about choosing a Mother's Day gift will be whittling down all the options. There are many great gift ideas for scrapbooking moms. Most avid scrapbookers would be happy to receive gifts such as:
- New patterned papers
- Stickers
- Collections of buttons, gems or other embellishments
- Decorative edge scissors
- Stamps
- Punches
- A gift card to Shutterfly or another photo printer
- An inspirational book about scrapbooking
- A scrapbook made in her honor
In addition to the ideas above, to really get a scrapbooking mom excited, consider giving her one of these four great gift ideas for scrapbookers:
- The ability to make her own stickers with the Create-a-Sticker machine
- The option to customize brads with the I-Top tool
- The convenience to store and carry all her scrapbooking supplies in the popular Crop In Style Rolling Tote
- The creative freedom to scan and cut virtually any image with the new Brother ScanNCut machine
Read more about these four great scrapbooking Mother's Day gifts below (ordered least expensive to most expensive).
Xyron Create-a-Sticker
The Xyron Create-a-Sticker is a fun and relatively inexpensive gift. It retails for around $10, but can often be found for less on Amazon. With the Create-a-Sticker machine, scrapbookers can add adhesive to small objects such as ribbons, die cut shapes and buttons. It's a great way to make mini photo stickers and other embellishments.
The Xyron Create-a-Sticker machine is ideal for scrapbookers who attend crop parties, because it is lightweight and requires no heat, electricity or batteries. Instead, it uses a refillable acid-free adhesive cartridge. One cartridge comes pre-loaded with the machine, so the scrapbooking mom who receives the Xyron Create-a-Sticker as a gift will be able to enjoy making stickers right away!
Imaginisce I-Top Tool
Some scrapbookers can't do without brads just as carpenters can't do without nails. For such brad enthusiasts, the Imaginisce I-Top Tool is a must-have. For others, a gift of the I-Top tool might just turn them into brad enthusiasts. The tool sells on Amazon for around $25.
The I-Top tool gives scrapbookers the ability to turn ordinary brads into custom embellishments. It works on standard brad sizes of 16mm and 22mm. To use the tool, you put a blank brad along with your choice of paper or fabric into the tool and squeeze.
Accessories for the I-Top tool are sold separately, such as brad button daddies, punches to make shapes for brads, templates for trimming the brad coverings and a large brad attachment to make 28mm brads.
Crop In Style Rolling Tote
There's a reason the Crop In Style Rolling Tote is one of the best selling art supply totes. It has a place for everything a scrapbooker needs and is made with inline skate wheels for easy rolling. The tote is usually available from Amazon for around $90.
If your mom attends crop parties or travels with her scrapbooking supplies, this is a perfect Mother's Day gift for her. The tote has tons of clear interior pockets, making it easy to find scrapbooking tools and embellishments that have been tucked away. It includes adjustable pockets to customize the tote for each scrapbooker's needs. You will make Mom a happy traveler with the Crop In Style Rolling Tote.
Brother ScanNCut machine
Saving the best for last, the mother of all Mother's Day gifts is the new Brother ScanNCut machine. With a built-in 300 DPI scanner, the ScanNCut machine lets scrapbookers scan and then cut virtually anything on paper, fabric or acetate. The scanning area is almost 12 inches wide, which is perfect for scrapbookers.
Photos, sketches, clip art and other images can be scanned and saved to the machine's memory. After scanning, just select what you want to cut, press a button, and the machine will precisely cut the shape, even if the shape is intricate. This all happens without needing a computer, additional software or ever having to buy expensive cartridges.
You will have to spend some money up front, as the Brother ScanNCut retails at $399.99 (available on Amazon and from authorized Brother dealers). If you have a sibling you don't get along with, now is the time to make peace so you can go in together and buy this gift for Mom.
The money is well worth the return of priceless creative possibilities this machine offers. That's why it won the Craft & Hobby Association's #1 Most Creative Item in 2014. As Senior Vice President for Brother International Corporation Dean F. Shulman explains, "We call the ScanNCut machine 'the best thing to happen to cutting since the scissors.'"
Your mom deserves the best. Happy Mother's Day!

Comments about Jos. A. Bank Traveler Suit Separate 2-Button Jacket:
I travel in my work and needed a navy suit. I purchased traveler navy pants to complete suit. Quite wrinkled out of the box. Used steamer to take care of this. Weight of suit coat good for year round use although would not be heavy enough for extreme cold temps. Purchased because of sale price. Pleased with fit. I wear 43 Long in Jos. banks products. They are cut a bit small. Normally wear 42 Long in other brands.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fast and Convenient Service
By NealP
from Towson MD
I needed a blue jacket for a trip I was taking. Out of habit, I checked the daily specials and found this blue suit jacket for $59.99. Although not strictly a blazer, it was fine with jeans or khakis and I couldn't beat the price. The order was shipped quickly and the jacket is sturdy enough for travel use. Jos. A Bank has great products and their sales can't be beat.
Very nice jacket
By Groove Man

I needed a new dark blue jacket and this one is a very nice one. I like the way it fits.

Fits well and excellent tailoring
Nice Jacket with above average materials
By Big Jake
from Oklahoma City, OK
I purchased this wanting a decent grey suit option that was a little more casual than normal. It works as a casual jacket, but it is also nice enough to work for most anything. Its a little hard to tell from just looking at it on the website, but the jacket is pretty nice material and the shading is muted enough that it seems less casual than it might otherwise. I was pleased with the material, workmanship and the fit. I would also suggest going to a physical store if you are on the fence about whether you would like it or not because unlike many internet purchases the product is actually better than the way it appears.
Service and delivery comments:
Arrived quickly and efficiently. Ordered on a Thursday and arrived on my doorstep the next Thursday evening.
Excellent suit! Excellent service!
By jbad

The suit is top notch and the delivery service was FAST! Thanks!

How can a pop star live a normal life when the cameras are always in her face and her fans are so toxic? How much can one woman give before it's time to shave her head and crumble right before the planet's eyes? These were unanswerable questions until Britney Spears dropped her new video for "Piece of Me" a few hours ago. Have a peek, and you'll find out why our girl is so tortured all the time. Leave her alone, damn it!

Ice-T's Got A Big Ole Joystick
Lots of us have gaming fever. So it's no surprise that Ice-T likes to get super focused on the screen and the strategy. In a chat with our game site, he recently said that being alone and riding the mouse are two of his favorite things.
"I?m a very solitary cat. If I have five guys over and we?re talking business, I?m like, 'OK, time for y?all to leave.' With games online, I can play with a lot of people without having them over my house to eat my sh*t. "
What's the O.G. playing these days? Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Says Ice: "As much trouble as I got in…all these guys do is try to shoot cops." Told you: O.G.
Zep Tears Sh!t Up in London
Yep, it happened last night. The '70s kingpins Led Zeppelin reunited to celebrate their music biz pal Ahmet Ertegun and tickle a global fanbase that remains fervent four decades after the band first began. The set list ranged from "Rock and Roll" to "No Quarter" to "Dazed and Confused." The audience members ranged from Mick Jagger to Dave Grohl to Pink to Naomi Campbell. More reports and live clips coming in soon. Keep checking back throughout the day.
Didn't make the show? Watch a block of Led Zeppelin videos to relieve the frustration. Don't overlook some of their coolest tracks.
Pop Friday: Country Soul & Troop Support
Joss Stone & Leanne Rimes Throw Down Some Country Soul
R&B meets C&W as the two singers connect on Crossroads. They do "Super Duper Love" and others. The show airs tonight on CMT, but you can watch it at the above link now.
Five For Fighting Helps the Troops That Are Fighting
A new CD put together by John Ondrasik has an array of artists including The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls, and Josh Groban, who are giving our military some music for the holidays.
MC Perez's Rap: VajayjayZ?
One quick wit and a microphone. We know that Perez Hilton slings mud in celebville, gets all rock critic about musical acts he adores, and loves himself some beats. But did you know he was a microphone fiend?
After drinking some funky cold medina, the blue-haired Queen decided to do the theme song to his upcoming 07 wrap-up show. That's the place where he's handing out awards in such categories as "Best Africa Spokeswhore" and "Hottest MILF," so the tune references vajayjay, lady lumps, Xtina, trainwrecks, ankle bracelets, and the rest of the year's BS.
Spears vs Lohan: Who Strips Better?
Rehab mamas like Brit and Linds are always flaunting their sexual sides. Spears lets it all hang out by leaving her thong at home, and with boytoy after boytoy in her wake, "Firecrotch" Lohan is about the hotness, 24-7. So of course it makes sense that the ladies have one key sex item in common: a stripper pole. During the video for "Gimme More," itself an electro anthem of insatiability and "crazy positions," the Toxic One is onstage at a bar, sporting black hair, black leather, and black fishnets. Her pouting and writhing comes from experience. In I Know Who Killed Me, the Mean Girl has a scene where she's hired as a hostess of a "gentlemen's" club but winds up doing the nasty with radically dark eyes, some tossed-around hair, and a full exposed libido. Exhibitionism is in the house, y'all.
What we want to know: which trainwreck do you think is hotter when working the pole? Check both of the videos and hit the comments section.

NGAB: Bye-Bye Bluegrass, Hello Satan
We?ll never get to hear the banjo?d-out version of ?No Expectations? or ?Honky Tonk Women? or whatever Stones song Cliff Wagner & the Old #7 were plotting before they got deep-sixed last Friday night. Americans with money and phones have voted, and bluegrass ain?t part of Next Great American Band?s agenda.
That?s okay, it?s a pop and rock world we live in, especially when you?re selling blocks of commercial time in a talent contest, so we?re now down to six outfits that are going to take us through the start of '08. I?ve still got my fingers crossed for Tres Bien, who did the shimmy-shimmy-shake on ?Get Off My Cloud? (with a ?Satisfaction? guitar riff thrown in for you dudes who miss mash-ups) and conjured a vibe out of That Thing You Do.
All in all, it was a surprisingly fun romp through the Jagger-Richards songbook, with no one ? except for the big-band nimrods ? embarrassing themselves. The metal rugrats should have told Dicko to sticko and come out sans shirts for their ?Jumping Jack Flash? romp. Something very odd about seeing an 11-year-old from the San Diego suburbs singing that he was ?born in a cross-fire hurricane,? but the Light of Doom kid swings his hair around really well; I believed him for a sec or two. And the praying pickers in the Clark Brothers summoned the dangers of the devil quite convincingly with their judge-pleasing ?Gimme Shelter.?
Astbury Tripping or Zeppelin Fibbing?
Every right-thinking rock fan wants Led Zeppelin to play more dates than the single reunion gig that's caused so much ballyhoo since its announcement last month. But Robert Plant says it's highly unlikely and Jimmy Page is uncertain. Someone should give the icons a magic eight ball. But maybe Zep fans are being fed some fibs about the likelihood of a more extensive tour. Seems that Ian Astbury, tough-guy singer for the Cult, mouthed off about his band's opening slot on a Zeppelin 2008 tour on stage in that rock 'n' roll paradise, Cincinnati.
Blast the new, 5.1 surround sound version, of The Song Remains the Same until the real beans about the tour are spilled from the Zep camp.
And here are 10 tunes that don't get enough respect from Zeppelinites.
Trampled Under Foot: Zep?s Hidden Gems
Certain Led Zeppelin tunes are played to death, and others languish in the background. Here are 10 that deserve to be spun a bit more often then they usually are. Whether you're making a last ditch attempt to win tickets to the band's reunion show, or getting psyched for next Tuesday's DVD release of The Song Remains the Same, or hanging out watching earth-shaking videos, you should get familiar with the following 10 tunes. By the way, which Zep track do you think deserves more dap?
1. Black Mountain Side
This acoustic ditty from the band's first album vibes like a jukebox raga, illustrating Jimmy Page?s other interest besides the blues: Celtic folk tunes. Played by Bert Jansch, the endlessly rippling tune was called ?Blackwaterside.?
2. Living Loving Maid
We all know that the band liked to stretch the hell out of its songs ? melodrama was its middle name. But for every ?Dazed and Confused? there was a compact ass-kicker. The first album had ?Communication Breakdown.? On the second, it?s this nugget.
3. Celebration Day
It?s the giddy side of the blues, with Plant singing the praises of New York street scenes and Page working the slide guitar like it was his own private joystick. Good helium vocals by the blond god on this III track.
Radiohead Drifts Toward Iceland
The surprise that Thom and the guys had for their legion last night was an Eno-esque spin on the slow-moving and gorgeous Bjork tune, "Unravel." The original, from the singer's Homogenic, was a pinnacle of ambient abstraction. In the hands of Radiohead, with Yorke singing like a heartbroken child, its mournful vibe is pushed even farther.
Here are both for your perusal. Promise us you'll only play them after midnight.

AWP Series: Carina Schorske
Continuing from the last post, this year MAPH was able to send our creative writing students to the annual Association of Writers & Writing Programs conference in Boston, MA. In return, we've asked them to write us each a short piece on their experience at AWP.
Today's comes from Carina Schorske, a current student in the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities who is focusing on creative writing.
Writers love to hate AWP. I've heard one acclaimed poet refer to the conference as "loathsome," another as "soul-sucking." Several older writers advised me not to go: stay at home and write, they said. Lock the door.
But it is hard to trust Adam and Eve when they beg you not to eat the fruit. They seem so wise in their fallenness; they are like gods! And then the serpent slips a free plane ticket into your pocket.
AWP Invasion! John Beisner on flying in to Boston
This year, MAPH and the Graduate Student Administration got together to send our Creative Writing Option students to the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference in Boston from March 6-9th! The AWP conference is a major annual event in the writing world, regularly attended by upwards of 10,000 writers and writing enthusiasts. We have
forced asked our attending MAPHers to write us a series of blog posts about their adventures there, which we will be uploading to the blog as they come in.
The first is from John Beisner, current MAPH student, pictured above representing the (Mid)Westside out East in Boston (that is, he's on the left). His post on flying into Boston is after the cut. Oh, and after the impromptu mouth harp concert of course. Take it away, Charlie!

FREDERICK, Md. - Police in Frederick say a man tried to scam three businesses and got the account information of one business in an electric company fraud scheme.
Frederick City Police say last week they got complaints of the scam from businesses along West Patrick Street.
The owners say a man called and claimed to work for Potomac Edison energy company.
"The person calling and trying to elicit money, they're producing a call-back number with an extension, so it seems legitimate to people who receive these telephone calls," said Lt. Dwight Sommers, with the Frederick City Police Department.
Police say the man told the businesses their account owed money and their electricity would be turned off at the end of the day if they didn't give personal and account information over the phone. One business gave that information and had to shut down their bank account.
"The victim in this case was referred to the bank so they could close the account and monitor it for any fraudulent activity," Sommers said.
If you get one of these phone calls, you should get in touch with Potomac Edison (FirstEnergy) at 1-800-686-0011 or www.firstenergycorp.com.
"We would recommend that they call Potomac Edison to check their account balance and their account status to determine if they are in default or behind on payments and then basically report that information to the police department so that we can get it out to the general public," Sommers said.
Police remind businesses and residents they should never give personal or banking information over the phone.

Senators tried to mount a filibuster of the bill, just the kind of procedural motion Clinton and Obama said they supported nine months ago, eight months ago, seven months ago, six months ago, and so on. Clinton supported the filibuster Wednesday; Obama opposed it.And so much for "change." Unless, of course, in "Obama speak" "change means doin' like the Republicans want..."
Fuck Obama. I mean, seriously. He's a total sell-out who's willing to sell you, me and everyone else down the river so he can play at being President. Kind of like the idiot we have in charge now.

Tesla Motors Tesla Motors will report its second-quarter results after the market close today, and investors who have driven the shares up more than 300 percent so far this year will be anxious to see whether the electric car manufacturer slipped back into the red after its first-ever quarterly profit.
Analysts are forecasting a loss of about 20 cents a share excluding some items, according to Bloomberg. They predict the Palo Alto, California-based company could see a 30 percent drop in revenue from the first quarter, when it recorded $561.8 million in sales.
There are a number of reasons Tesla could see an about-face, including a slowdown in its sale of regulatory credits to other automakers, the costs of expanding in Europe and the absence of last quarter's boost from the early payoff of its government loan.
And lest we forget, despite its astonishing $15 billion market capitalization, Tesla is still a start-up company. It is likely to lose more money as it continues to invest in future growth.
That's why I'd argue the most important figure to look for when Chief Executive Elon Musk announces results this evening is not the magnitude of Tesla's profit or loss, but rather, its Model S production output for the quarter.
In 2012, Tesla had a hard time getting cars out the door of its Fremont, Calif., assembly plant and missed its initial sales goal of 5,000 cars for the year. Since then, Musk says Tesla has easily surpassed its initial production threshold of 400 cars per week. "At this point, making 400 cars a week actually feels like a walk in the park, whereas it was a nightmare in Q4," he told Bloomberg Bloomberg last month.
The company delivered 1,400 cars in July, and has sold about 10,400 so far this year, according to AutoData. Musk's vision is to produce 400,000 or 500,000 cars a year, and achieve an industry-leading 25 percent gross margin. But existing luxury brands aren't sitting still, either. Both BMW and Cadillac, for instance, plan to challenge Tesla with plug-in cars of their own.
Many analysts worry that Tesla shares, currently trading around $133, have risen beyond what the company is worth, but others justify the lofty price, pegging Tesla as a much-needed disruptive force in the auto industry.
Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank recently raised its target price for the company's shares to $160, estimating Tesla will achieve operating profit margins of 20% as it ramps up sales and spreads costs over a larger number of vehicles. "We expect [Tesla] to reach at least 200,000 units by near the end of the decade, which implies about 5% of what we calculate as the addressable market of comparable vehicles in terms of capability and price," the bank said in a note to investors last month.

Location: Fruit and Vegetable Insect Research
2013 Annual Report
To reduce the environmental and safety concerns associated with organophosphates and other harsh insecticides, orchardists have switched to the newer, "reduced-risk" chemistries (Altacor® - rynaxypyr, Delegate® - spinetoram, and Calypso® - thiacloprid) for codling moth control. These new chemistries have been effective in codling moth control; however, orchardists are concerned about the potential development of resistance to these agents. The overall goal of this project is to study the molecular mechanisms the codling moth may use to develop resistance to these "reduced-risk" insecticides. These molecular mechanisms will include target modifications (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors - spinetoram and thiacloprid; ryanodine receptor –rynaxypyr) and expression of detoxification enzymes (cytochrome P450s, esterases, and glutathione S-transferases). Our first objective was to obtain the sequences for gene transcripts encoding for the targets and potential detoxification enzymes for the "reduced-risk" insecticides. Through a codling moth transcriptome, we have identified transcripts encoding for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (20 including splice variants), the ryanodine receptor (1), cytochrome P450s (76), esterases (50) and glutathione S-transferases (20). We are currently in the process of cloning each transcript to verify their expression and nucleotide sequence.
