That's truly weak. As you're showing the labels can't necessarily control what their staff are doing, but what freaks me is that apparently these "designers" think they're going to get away with it? "Yeah, so this piece is for an Australian company, hmm, I have no talent, so perhaps I should rip off an Australian artist on a piece of paper which is going to be distributed around the country, surely nobody will notice?"
That poster/whatever truly is an abortion. Whoever did it should have their fingers broken.
In other news: Nice one Rone, this sort of thing needs to be exposed. Not sure if it's just my browser though, but I'm getting some serious dark text dark background issues.. I need to highlight the text just to read what's going on.
yeah yeah, i agree man, its not right to bite other peoples work!!!! use ur own talent, an if u aint got ant naff off, i've had to much of my work nicked by some little screff an its annoyin but nvm, yeah that txt is a bit blagging……

To Whom It May Concern,
The attached images show
1. A brothers neilsen advertisement
2. An art piece from an exhibition which I produced in 2003
I think they clearly indicate a breach of copyright if not intellectual property. I am hoping that whoever approved these ads was unaware of the original source and it is simply the work of one "designer" which has allowed this to occur. I am sure your company disapproves of such behaviour.
To correct this matter I would like the following to happen:
a) You cease to use the aforementioned image
b) Written (emailled) confirmation that you will no longer use it
c) A letter of apology
Should I not recieve any of the following I will have no choice but to take legal action.

Hi Meek,
This is an unfortunate situation. As far as I know our artist who produced the artwork has responded to you. When you threatened legal action in your initial e-mail, they took it seriously and spoke to their solicitor who is on the Copyright Board. His advice to them was that there were no laws broken.
Our artist has informed me that her initial inspiration for the artwork came from the TV show Big Brother with their puppeteer.
I understand your feelings and assure you that this was a one off situation. The ad will no longer be used.
I wish you well.

Subject : Meek Stencils – Copyright
To Meek,
I refer to the above matter and to your email I received last week.
I am the freelance "designer" commissioned by Brothers Neilsen for the
ad. The allegation by Meek of copyright infringement and
intellectual property is misguided.
The finished product showing Paul Fisher surfing a wave is a copyright
work belonging to Andrew Shield. The artwork prepared by me is an
artistic work, the copyright in which vests in me. The combination of
these two items together also amounts to an original work capable of
copyright protection.
While there is a similarity between the idea of a person standing as a
puppeteer, there is no copyright protection of an idea. Protection
exists in the work itself. The work which I have created has in no way
been copied from the work created by Meek. On this basis,
there is no infringement.
Funny how B.N. were really apologetic, if they claimed they did nothing wrong…..
I looked into legal action, and spoke to a journalist who was going to do a story which would have involved me speaking to a lawyer for free. When the story didn't go ahead, neither did the legal action.
That 'designer' is the one that is misguided. She says there is no copyright protection of an idea. First of all obviously you have both used the same idea and the same kind application. Sure there is no copyright on the idea of a puppetteer but there is on the idea of a puppetteer in that stance done in that way. If you can prove – as you obviously can – that you thought of it and created it first with images and dates then you definately own it and they should have to do more then send you an email.
That's one of my favourite pieces of Melbourne street art. I love your stuff Meek and that angers me. If you want advice there's a really nice Intellectual Property lawyer here in Melbourne called Choy Lawyers
Thanks for the advice BlackHotPink, but do you know what they charge? I.P. lawyers tend to cost an absolute fortune…
Raylee you weak piece of shit…..there is a job for you at Tsubi.
The irony…in reality you would love that!

At its opening in 1929, ULO was a research institute, but after the second
world war practical astronomical teaching at UCL was moved from Gower Street
to the Observatory.
Over the years better and larger research instruments at good-quality sites
were provided nationally or internationally,
and the emphasis of at ULO slowly shifted from reasearch to teaching, with student
numbers increasing from eight in 1949 to about 100 today.
However, Observatory staff continue to pursue research
often involving undergraduate students in project work.
Many of today's large research telescopes are under the direction of
scientists who made their first (and often second) steps in astronomy
at ULO.
ULO research work is illustrated by:
Future plans for the Observatory include the development of observing
options controlled from off-site, and installation of a modern metre-class
telescope for both teaching and research.

This was missing something. It needed more flavor, maybe some ginger? It was just blah!flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe as written except with a full bunch of cilantro. It was great and definitely not too sweet.flag if inappropriate
I made this as an accompaniment to the Curried Sweet Potato Latkes recipe I found on Epicurious. I used one can of crushed pineapple instead of an entire fresh pineapple, which drastically altered the proportions in favor of the poblanos, and it was delicious. I thought it would be too spicy this way, but poblanos are gentle enough that it wound up giving just the right fresh flavorful kick to the greasy latkes. I imagine that if the recipe were made as written, the overabundance of pineapple would result in the salsa tasting too sweet.flag if inappropriate

Edmondson Drive-In
6000 Baltimore National Pike,

Great drive-in that will be dearly missed. In addition to being a landmark (although not one the officials opted to save), it was also the sight for a scene from the Barry Levinson film, "Tin Men". The drive-in was torn down in the '90s to make way for a Home Depot.
The Edmondson D/I also made a cameo in John Waters' "Polyester," showing an art-film festival to customers in formal attire. It was adjacent to the old Westview Cinemas, and (I think) run by the same people.
As the sign in Ken's first picture indicates, the lot was also used as a commuter terminal for Maryland MTA buses (the #12-W, and later the #150).
the final films shown at the drive int theatre were a free admission weekend (ghost)(the naked gun 2)&(pet semetary) the drive in theatre was allways busy over the weekends with its overflowing lot of vendors at its famous flea markets. you had to arrive at 1am as the movies were ending to wait all night to get a good space to sell at the drive in on sundays. the flea market for years kept the drive in theatre from being closed with its record crowds that would cause traffic delays on the main road.

Tejpal: Goa Police summon Shoma Chaudhury
The Goa Police on Wednesday summoned former Tehelka Managing Editor Shoma Chaudhury to record her statement in the sexual assault case against the magazine's former Editor-in-Chief Tarun Tejpal.
Meanwhile, the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court on Wednesday rejected Tejpal's request for a fan in his jail cell.
The court rejected his application for an electric or battery fan in the barrack.
Tejpal has been sharing the jail space with four local frog and turtle poachers who were arrested on Nov 30.
His police custody ends on Friday.
Tejpal on Wednesday was again taken to Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for further tests.
He was taken to GMCH on Monday for potency, blood and a range of mandatory tests.
He was also checked for mental health.
Tejpal, who was arrested by the Goa Police on Saturday after his anticipatory bail was rejected in the case of a sexual assault charge, was sent to a six-day police custody on Sunday, in response to a 14-day remand sought by the police for investigation.
Tejpal allegedly sexually assaulted a woman journalist of his organisation in an elevator of Grand Hyatt Goa during the Think festival of Tehelka where ironically the participants were debating on issues like rape. The action of Tejpal is considered as rape under the new definition of the anti-rape law in India.

Vanderbilt University took first place in the 14-team field with a total score of 871, while Vandy's Carson Jacobs earned the individual title with a 1-under score of 215 through three rounds. FGCU's Jake Sherwin took third place in the field of over 75 golfers with a total score of 217.
FGCU (No. 99) was one of six schools in the field which are ranked in the Golfweek Top 100. The Eagles finished ahead of No. 90 Notre Dame, No. 95 Cincinnati and No. 78 Indiana.
Individually, the Eagles were led by Sherwin's third-place finish. Sherwin produced a team-best score of 72 in the final round to finish at plus-1 through three rounds of play. He ultimately finished with a total score of 217 after scoring 73 and 72 in Sunday's play.
Senior Matt Cote shot 80 in his final round and finished plus-15 for the tournament. Cote went even through his first six holes before adding five strokes between holes 13 and 17. He added one bogey to finish his round and ended with a score of 80. Cote carded a 231 in three rounds for the 30th-place finish.
Jack Hernandez fired a final round of 78 to finish in a tie for 39th overall with a 233 total score. After starting on seven, Hernandez birdied 11 before carding three-straight bogeys. The junior added three strokes between 1 and 4 before shooting par in his final holes.

You might think that you're making the healthier choice by buying olive oil instead of sunflower, but, without knowing it, you could be throwing money down the drain. The fake olive oil industry is very profitable, so here's you can make sure you're not one of its victims.
A piece on Business Insider presents startling facts about the fake olive oil industry: not only is as profitable as the drug industry without the bad effects, and seems to go back to the days when the genuine olive oil was made, but it's also very present.
Very present.
Recent figures indicate that about 70% of the olive oil imported from Europe into California is fake and, what's worse, there's little anyone can do to stop it from coming in because authorities are slow in reacting, given that fake olive oil isn't actually hurting anyone.
In light of these statistics, The Guardian offers a few easy steps to follow to make sure you at least minimize the chances of being tricked into buying fake oil.
The bottom line is that you can't be 100% sure but at least you'll know you've done all in your power to get the product you're paying good money for.
First things first.
To make sure that what you get is what you wanted to, it's best if you make your purchases at the same provider, preferably one that stores the oil in large steel containers, sealed with inert gas to prevent it making contact with oxygen.
These sellers usually bottle the oil as they sell so, before you actually pay for it, ask for a taste. If it's not extra virgin or is doctored to appear as if it is, you'll know on the spot.
If you must buy at a supermarket, make sure you choose a lightly colored bottled. The actual color of the oil doesn't matter all that much, since it can depend on a variety of factors – but that of the bottle makes all the difference.
"Favor bottles or containers that protect against light, and buy a quantity that you'll use up quickly," The Guardian recommends.
Direct sunlight affects the oil, so make sure you don't buy bottles from the top shelves – look for traces of dust to estimate how long they've been there, and pick a clean one.
If possible, buy in containers that block light completely, but in small quantities, since you need to use it up quickly.
Aside from the expiration date on the label, look for something called "harvest date," which should tell you almost as a certainty that the oil is not fake.
"Try to buy oils only from this year's harvest – look for bottles with a date of harvest. Failing that, look at the 'best by' date which should be two years after an oil was bottled," The Guardian recommends.
"Ensure that your oil is labeled 'extra virgin,' since other categories – 'pure' or 'light' oil, 'olive oil' and 'olive pomace oil' – have undergone chemical refinement," says the same media outlet.
Worst case scenario, if you buy a fake, you should probably know that it won't kill you, though it will definitely make you feel cheated at having paid extra for something that was worth much less money.
Fake olive oil is usually a blend of extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, or some kind of mixture with soybean oil with chlorophyll and beta-carotene.

Carmelo Anthony Covers 'Wall Street Journal' MVP Style Issue
Carmelo Anthony is all smiles as he graces the April 2013 cover of the Wall Street Journal MVP Style Issue. The New York Knicks small forward was shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson wearing everything from Nike to Salvatore Ferragamo.
In the interview, the baller spoke about his transitioning style which continues to get more grown and sexy as he ages. "Athletes have become more in tune to the fashion world, a lot of athletes are just known for being athletes. You can come to a place like New York and diversify yourself."

Baptists in Canada
|Part of a series on
|Baptist portal
Baptists in Canada have a rich heritage and background. United Empire Loyalists and those of British ancestry have formed the core and foundation of the Baptist denomination in Canada.
Statistics and changes[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2015)
|This section is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (September 2015)
According to the Canada 2001 Census, the number of people in Canada who identify themselves as Baptist is 729,470, about 2.5% of the population, an increase of about 10% in the 10 years since the 1991 census (see Religion in Canada).
A growing practice of existing and new churches in Canada and the United States is the dropping of the term "Baptist" from their church's name. Often, this practice is due to concern over what is perceived within the church to be a negative stereotype by the general population toward the label "Baptist", but not toward the church or Baptist beliefs in general. This negative stereotype has often been perceived legalism, associated with the word "baptist". Churches who make this change are interested in attracting people who are unchurched, and who may have barriers with becoming affiliated with a denomination, or specifically becoming a "baptist". Keeping the distinct name and simply adding Community Church to the end is a common change.
A name such as "Grace Community Church" is felt by these churches to be less likely to cause unnecessary negative stereotypes or offence, to signal and inspire a change in the mindset and vision of the church, and to fit in with the surrounding community better.
In some congregations, this change has been a source of controversy, and has not been easily accepted by some, especially older members. The most common arguments with this type of "rebranding" are 1) it is deceptive to the public, 2) it is an abandoning of Baptist history, 3) it might lead a church to eventually compromise and abandon their Baptist beliefs in order to be more inclusive, and 4) it may make it more difficult to determine the number of "Baptist" churches and those believing in the "Baptist distinctives".
Baptist missionary work began on the Atlantic coast in the 1760s but took around 100 years to reach the west coast. The first official record of a Baptist church in Canada was that of the Horton Baptist Church (now Wolfville) in Wolfville, Nova Scotia on October 29, 1778. The church was established with the assistance of the New Light evangelist Henry Alline. Many of Alline's followers, after his death, would convert and strengthen the Baptist presence in the Atlantic region. Two major groups of Baptists formed the basis of the churches in the maritimes. These were referred to as Regular Baptist (Calvinistic in their doctrine) and Free Will Baptists.
The first congregations organized in Central Canada were at Beamsville, Ontario as early as 1776 and in 1794 at Caldwell's Manor (now Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, Quebec). Shortly thereafter churches were organized at Hallowell, Ontario (1795) and Haldimand Township (see Alnwick/Haldimand). These were Regular Baptist congregations. Churches which were in agreement began to group together into associations in order to work together for achieving common goals. A variety of associations and affiliations have occurred since then. Eventually these associations joined together to form a convention. The centre for Baptist influence and mission work in Canada began to be firmly established in Toronto after 1848. (See Bond Street Baptist Church). Many of the original churches were established by specific missionary groups from the United States of America and by various ethnic or language groups, such as the Swedish Baptist Churches (Baptist General Conference of Canada), North American Baptist Conference (German background), and the Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Convention of Canada.
Two significant shifts in associations have occurred, one in 1927 and one in 1953. The Union of Regular Baptist Churches was formed in 1927 in Hamilton, Ontario by 77 churches who had withdrawn from the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec (BCOQ). This withdrawal was due to the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy, centred on a professor at the Convention's official seminary at McMaster University, who held a liberal/modernist position of theology.
In 1944, the BCOQ joined with the United Baptist Convention of the Maritimes and the Baptist Union of Western Canada to form the first national Canadian Baptist association, the Canadian Baptist Federation. In 1995, they merged with the Canadian Baptist International Ministries to form Canadian Baptist Ministries. The four conventions still exist within the association and counted over 1100 member churches in 1995.
By 1953 some churches had dropped out of the Union of Regular Baptist Churches, but the remainder joined with the Fellowship of Independent Baptist Churches (founded 1933) and formed the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada (FEBC). The Regular Baptist Missionary Fellowship of Alberta joined in 1963 and the Convention of Regular Baptist Churches of British Columbia (founded 1927) also joined in 1965. Known as "The Fellowship", it claims to be the largest evangelical group in Canada, with at least 500 member churches in Canada from coast to coast.
A Regular Baptist church in British Columbia joined a Southern Baptist Convention affiliate in 1953. The first SBC association was formed in 1955 and there are now 233 churches, in most provinces and territories, with the largest concentration in western Canada.

Combined insurance, investment products 'gaining ground in Cebu'-A A +A
Monday, March 24, 2014
PRODUCTS that integrate insurance and investment, or unit-linked products (ULP), are fueling growth in the country's insurance business, an executive said.
Pru Life UK senior vice president and chief marketing officer Belle Tiongco said in an interview last Saturday that ULP products are now preferred more than traditional life insurance.
Under a ULP plan, part of the premium paid will be used to provide insurance cover to the policy-holder, while the remaining portion is invested in various financial platforms.
Tiongco said Pru Life UK was the first life insurance company in the Philippines to introduce ULP in the local market in 2002. She said 95 percent of Pru Life UK's products is concentrated in ULP.
A person who has availed of a ULP plan can choose to invest in equity funds or stocks and fixed-income funds.
Donald Kanak, Prudential Corp. Asia chairman, said the Philippines is one of the top markets for investment-linked products together with Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Tiongco said those who are interested to avail themselves of ULP plans in Pru Life UK can start at around P1,000 a month.
While banks also offer investment products, Tiongco said availing of ULP products in life insurance companies is a better option since one can get life insurance protection and at the same time build an investment portfolio.
Another advantage of a ULP, she said, is that policy-holders can more easily see how their investments are faring, unlike traditional insurance products where the person is often left clueless as to where the money was invested.
Premiums for ULP products vary, and policy-makers may make a one-time payment or spread the payments over a specified period.
Cebu, she said, is one of Pru Life UK's biggest markets in the country, especially for ULP products. Tiongco did not disclose figures, but added that a number of agents in Cebu have become part of the Million-Dollar Round Table (MDRT), an international, independent association of life insurance and financial services professionals. Those who have been part of it are agents who obtained the biggest commissions. Currently, Pru Life UK in Cebu has 700 agents.
In a related development, some 100 employee-volunteers of Prudential from 12 countries will head to Sta. Fe in Bantayan Island to build 135 houses in line with the post-Yolanda rebuilding efforts of the Prudence Foundation, the charitable arm of Prudential Corp. Asia.
Prudential Corp. Asia is the Hong Kong-based regional headquarters of Prudential PLC, which is based in the UK.
Prudence Foundation Executive Director Marc Fancy said the organization has allotted US$2 million to support relief and long-term recovery efforts in areas affected by typhoon Yolanda. A portion will be for the residents of Barangay Maricaban in Sta. Fe town.
It has partnered with international non-government organization Habitat for Humanity and the local government unit of Santa Fe for the project.
In addition, Fancy said the foundation will also provide sustainable livelihood in Santa Fe by donating 183 motorized boats with fishing nets and 140 pedicabs or cycle rickshaws.
The foundation is also initiating programs on disaster-preparedness, education, and children in the Philippines and in other countries in partnership with Save the Children and Plan International.

My bottle of Adnams Spindrift says the beer "evokes images of sea spray blown off a cresting wave". Shut up, bottle of Spindrift! That's my call. I get to decide what you sort-of-but-not-really taste like. If breweries are going to start writing wanky bloggish tasting notes on their labels, we're all done for.
Spindrift looks pretty simple: a pale orange ale of 5% ABV, though served from an odd 33cl blue glass longneck. The aroma conjures up old Adnams favourite Innovation, with its powerful spiced marmalade character. The first sip brings that marvellous dry mineral note that is the Adnams hallmark and what keeps me coming back to their beer. Under that there's a complex of heavy, sticky, sweet Jaffa orange and much lighter zesty spritz, both working in parallel and neither dominating.
I can see why they went with the smaller bottle here: the texture is dense enough and the flavours strong enough that it would be harder to take in larger measures. But it's not difficult or overly heavy. It pains me to say it, but this bottle of Spindrift put me more in mind of a nice glass of Chenin Blanc or Riesling. No sea spray, but lovely fruit, dahling. Mwah!

MASSENA The Massena Electric Department has decided to purchase and install upwards of 25 low-profile meters this winter in efforts to better track how much energy is used by certain customers during the colder months.
Treasurer Jeffrey M. Dobbins said that each low-profile meter will cost about $220 more than the current ones. However, there are important differences between the low-profile meters and the typical instruments.
A typical meter just is tracking your cumulative kilowatt hours or demand through the course of a month. A low-profile meter allows you to gather information on a shorter time frame, either hourly, 15 minutes, whatever you want to get a better understanding of when consumption is actually occurring, Mr. Dobbins said. We do have some already out in our service territory, but theyre only on some of our larger, industrial customers who want to utilize that data to help them analyze their load. Right now, though, we dont have any residential customers that have it, and thats what were looking at.
MED Superintendent Andrew J. McMahon said the meters, which are being purchased from Itron Inc., will be in limited use at first.
It will only be 20 to 30 customers so we can get a representative sample of residential usage patterns, Mr. McMahon said. It doesnt change the bills of those customers. Its just to help us understand better some typical usage patterns.
He said different types of customers, whether residential, business or industrial, likely will see different numbers.
What we want to understand is, from some individual customers, how closely does their individual load mirror our system load, Mr. McMahon said.
The meters will present power-use profiles for different classes of users.
So this low-profile meter, every hour its going to tell us how much have we consumed in that hour. Were going to know either through the 24 hours, or maybe on half-hour increments, how much have they consumed each half hour, Mr. McMahon said. Theyre not going to see any difference in their bill; were just going to understand better how people and when people are using their power.
Mr. McMahon said he expects the low-profile meters to arrive shortly after Thanksgiving and is optimistic for installation at the beginning of December.

Officials say an inmate has suffered serious injuries after she apparently fell onto a concrete area inside the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Hunterdon County.
Department of Corrections spokesman Matthew Schuman tells The (Newark) Star-Ledger (http://bit.ly/UqVrt2 ) that the inmate was found around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. She was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.
It was not immediately known how the woman was hurt. Schuman says she "apparently fell."
The inmate, who was not identified, is one of 63 inmates housed in a maximum security unit inside the prison complex. Schuman says Edna Mahan, the state's only women's prison, has about 750 inmates.

His Illegal Selfby Peter Carey
Staff Pick
Peter Carey's latest manages to be both charming and disturbing; Dial and Che are unique and empathetic characters that will haunt you long after you put the book down. His Illegal Self also contains that rare achievement: an absolutely perfect ending.
"His Illegal Self is a little book in the way that raspberries or bees or nuggets of uranium are little....[U]nlike much of Carey's previous work, which is exhilarating in its scope, His Illegal Self is exhilarating partly because the depth of field has narrowed so dramatically. Reading this novel, Carey's tenth, is like peering at the human heart, at the world itself, through the distorted precision of a magnifying glass — one carried in the pocket of a seven-year-old boy." Cathleen Schine, The New York Review of Books (read the entire New York Review of Books review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When the boy was almost eight, a woman stepped out of the elevator into the apartment on East Sixty-second Street and he recognized her straightaway. No one had told him to expect it. That was pretty typical of growing up with Grandma Selkirk...No one would dream of saying, Here is your mother returned to you.
His Illegal Self is the story of Che — raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother, he is the precocious son of radical student activists at Harvard in the late sixties. Yearning for his famous outlaw parents, denied all access to television and the news, he takes hope from his long-haired teenage neighbor, who predicts, They will come for you, man. They'll break you out of here.
Soon Che too is an outlaw: fleeing down subways, abandoning seedy motels at night, he is pitched into a journey that leads him to a hippie commune in the jungle of tropical Queensland. Here he slowly, bravely confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems. Who is his real mother? Was that his real father? If all he suspects is true, what should he do?
Never sentimental, His Illegal Self is an achingly beautiful story of the love between a young woman and a little boy. It may make you cry more than once before it lifts your spirit in the most lovely, artful, unexpected way.
"Carey's unique take on the conflict between the need to belong and the dream of freedom during the days of rage over the Vietnam War is at once terrifying and mythic." Booklist
"Emotionally charged." Library Journal
"Carey's mastery of tone and command of point of view are very much in evidence in his latest novel...which is less concerned with period-piece politics than with the essence of identity." Kirkus Reviews
"Peter Carey is one of the great writers in English now. This book is further proof, a book in which he's created a little boy who is neither too precious nor too wise, a little boy on a sad hard trip with his eyes wide open, watching everything and everyone around him. He makes you think of your own past life and all you felt when you were a kid being played upon and moved about by the adults of the world. This book is another triumph, among Carey's other wonderful books. The man can write. He seems capable of anything." Kent Haruf, author of Plainsong and Eventide
"[A] book as psychologically taut as a Patricia Highsmith thriller and as starkly beautiful as Mulisch's modern classic....This novel marks a departure — an altogether successful one — for the versatile author." Liesl Schillinger, New York Times
"Carey's writing is a series of insights that incite and arrest. Above all he has created three alluring, unexpected, and intensely moving characters." Boston Globe
"Carey once again proves himself to be a master of perspective." San Francisco Chronicle
"As masterfully written as Carey's other novels....His Illegal Self is not a tragedy, not a satire or a political polemic, but an idyll — bittersweetly romantic and redemptive, with something like a happy ending for everyone." Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"Carey beautifully captures the paranoia, anxiety and petty bickering that permeated the radical anti-war movement of the time, as well as the dirty bodies, absent farming skills and inadequate plumbing that characterized the back-to-the-earth movement." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"[A] story about making a home in a cold, cold world and making a family out of nothing and for no reason other than love." Miami Herald
Raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother, Che is the precocious son of radical student activists at Harvard in the late 1960s. Yearning for his famous outlaw parents, he bravely confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems.
About the Author

We believe that images are sacred. The images that you upload are always owned and managed by you, the photographer. You can control which vendors have access to your images and you will be automatically credited every single time one of your images is used in a piece of marketing collateral by a vendor. Additionally, misuse of copyright is explicitly prohibited under our terms of service and violators will be removed from our community.
Yes! You may download web-sized images and use them for marketing purposes. The Two Bright Lights' software makes it easy by automatically adding a photo credit to every image you download. However, if you re-crop the image for use on your website so that the photo credit is no longer visible, you must include a photo credit on your website. Failure to do so may result in your Two Bright Lights account being terminated.
Because of our commitment to preserving copyright, only images uploaded by the professional photographer who owns them are permitted. However, you can invite photographers who are not already members of Two Bright Lights to join. They can upload the images you want and give you access to them by "associating" you with that wedding. Plus, you will get a free month of service every time a photographer or vendor that you invited joins the site.
Unfortunately, no. In order to protect copyright and guarantee editorial quality, we can only allow professional photographers to upload images.
Yes, for the security of the photographer, the images are only available to Two Bright Lights' members AND only those vendors associated with a particular wedding will have access. When a photographer uploads a wedding, the vendors that are "attached" to the wedding are notified via email of image availability automatically by Two Bright Lights.
Definitely not. Only the vendors who collaborated on a given wedding will have access to that wedding and you will be able to see clearly who those other vendors are.
Absolutely! We firmly believe that everyone should be able to test drive before they buy. A 30 day trial is available to everyone so check it out and see what you think!
It depends on whether photographers with whom you have worked with in the past are members of Two Bright Lights and whether they have associated you with weddings they have uploaded. In some cases, you will find that you already have images to view because photographers have identified you as someone with whom they have worked. In other cases, there might not be images available when you first sign on because the photographers have not associated you with weddings. You can search for weddings you have worked on to see if they have been uploaded to the system. If they have, you can send a message to the photographer requesting access to those images. It is also possible that the photographers with whom you have worked are not members of Two Bright Lights yet. In that case we encourage you to invite them to join. You will receive a free month for every photographer or vendor who joins based on your invitation.
Yes! Two Bright Lights' tools are specifically designed to be easy and intuitive so that even the most technically challenged folks can create beautiful marketing collateral. But don't take our word for it—see for yourself with our free 30 day trial!
You can always try out Two Bright Lights for free for 30 days. Beyond that, you may choose a monthly membership or an annual membership (a 25% savings!) or a bi-annual membership (a 40% savings!).
As long as the photographer who uploaded your images remains a member of Two Bright Lights, you will have access to those images, provided you are associated with that wedding. To uphold our copyright protection policy, if a photographer cancels their membership, the images in your library owned by that photographer will be removed. However, marketing materials that you have already created with those images will not be affected and available for continued use.
Two Bright Light is proud to be "in the cloud!" Our service runs within Amazon's cloud platform, Amazon AWS. We use S3 for super secure storage and EC2 for exceptional computing performance.

Tasha T gets kudos for 'Real Talk'
Tasha T
Reggae singer Tasha T has been riding a wave of success with her recently released sophomore album, Real Talk.
The 20-track album features production work from an array of top Jamaican producers, including Bobby Digital, Paul 'Computer Paul' Henton and Mikey Bennett.
Since its release, Real Talk has received rave reviews from a number of international reggae websites and magazines including Reggaeville.com and Unitedreggae.com.
"The response to the album has been very good, it has received a lot of kudos from people all over the world. I am very happy that it has been so warmly received by everyone who has listened it."
Real Talk is number 14 on DJ Gusma T's Top 20 Reggae Album Charts.
Tasha T said the response proved people are still interested in positive, uplifting music.
"People all over the world want to listen to good music. That's why my album is getting so much love. All the songs on Real Talk are positive, all of them convey good messages. In these times people want food for thought, not just feel good music. Reggae music is always welcomed by the masses because it's soothing and nourishing to the soul," said Tasha T.
The first single off the album, Bed of Fire, has been receiving a lot of attention from DJs around the world. It is in the number-one position of the Rebel Vibez Canadian Reggae Charts.
"Bed of Fire is doing very well, it's getting a lot of airplay in Canada and other parts of the world. I have to give thanks to all the DJs who are supporting my music," said the artiste.
Tasha T is undertaking the US leg of her Real Talk tour. So far, she has performed at the Long Island Caribbean American Music Festival in New York.
Tomorrow, she is set to host an album launch at the Tafari Café in Brooklyn, New York.
The summer-long tour will also see her doing dates in places across the US - Philadelphia Jerk Festival (Philadelphia) on June 22; Festival of Life (Chicago) on July 4, the People's Festival (Delaware) on July 26 and the Star Wave Organic Music Festival (Connecticut) on August 23.

With childhood obesity rates on the perpetual incline in the U.S., researchers have been attempting to find an effective way to combat this nationwide issue. According to a report from a University of Illinois, advertising bans do work, but an outright ban covering the entire U.S. media market would be the most effective policy tool for reducing fast-food consumption in children.

Before I even conceived my daughter, I knew that I would need to find a maternity clothes sale if I wanted to find clothes that fit me and still looked good on me without my having to spend a fortune. In my little town, the only place that an expectant mother can really buy maternity clothes is Motherhood Maternity. Some of the other box stores also carry a few maternity outfits and you can sometimes find used pregnancy clothes at some of the local thrift stores, but if you want new and in style maternity clothing, then you really have no choice but to go to Motherhood Maternity. And, although its clothes are great, the store's prices are far from cheap.
When I first got pregnant, I knew that I would really need maternity clothes during the cooler fall and winter months. Thus, to save myself some money, I started checking the clearance racks at Motherhood Maternity for a maternity clothes sale on pants. I was able to buy quite a few pairs of maternity pants for about the fourth of the full price. Essentially, I was able to buy four pants for the price of one, which saved me a huge amount of money.
In addition to shopping from the clearance racks, I also kept an eye out for the occasional storewide sale that Motherhood Maternity would offer. For example, with one sale, I was able to buy one shirt and then get the other half off. At another sale, I spent $100 and got 20% off my entire purchase. And, even better, some of the items from my $100 purchase were from the clearance rack, so I ended up saving even more than the 20%.
If you are in the market for maternity clothing, then you know just how expensive looking fabulous with a protruding belly can get. However, so long as you buy some clearance items and shop during a maternity clothes sale, then you can still look great without spending a small fortune.
How did you save money on maternity clothes?

Choosing the Photo Book Printer for your ThemeAfter you've nailed down what kind of look and feel you're looking for from your wedding photo book template, it's time to look for a photo book printer to design the photo book itself.

(May 02, 2008) On March 15, 2008, the Austrian Constitutional Court held that the deportation of an illegal alien is unconstitutional if it violates the guarantee of the family of article 8 of the European Human Rights Convention (Docket No. B 16/08 – 7, available at the Constitutional Court of Austria official Web site). In the case under consideration, the illegal alien was being deported for having committed a criminal offense, but she had been residing in Austria for ten years, part of the time legally and part of the time illegally, and she had three children and a divorced spouse who lived in Austria. Under these circumstances, the Court held that the immigration authorities had not adequately balanced the illegal alien's right to her family with the public interest in deporting illegal aliens.
This decision follows a landmark decision of the Constitutional Court of September 29, 2007 (Docket No. 383 Bundeskanzleramt [Federal Chancellery] Web site (last visited Apr. 18, 2008)) that had established that even a criminal conviction is not a sufficient reason to deport an illegal alien, if there are circumstances that make his family life protection-worthy. This Austrian decision quotes several recent cases of the European Court of Human Rights as having established a higher standard of protection of the family life of aliens. In Austria, the European Human Rights Convention (213 U.N.T.S. 221, official Web site of the Council of Europe (last visited Apr. 29, 2008)) ranks as a Constitutional law (Bundes-Verfassungsgesetznovelle, Mar. 4, 1964, Bundesgesetzblatt No. 164/59 (official source)).

Pleasing My Wife.....Part 2I waited about 15 mins & slowly walked back to our bedroom. The door was wide open & when i got to the doorway the room was dark, from the light in the hallway i could see into the room enough to know what was happening. My wife looked up at me with this scared look on her face. She was laying on her back & K was right next to her liying on his side with his arm around her & resting his hand on her stomach. He was acting like he was sleeping but i knew he wasn't. My wife thought he was just drunk & tired, she whispered to me that when he 1st got in the bed he tried to put his hand inside her panties. I looked at my wife & whispered back to her "it's ok, have fun".....While K was pretending to be sleeping, i reached over & slowly moved his hand inside my wifes panties. He moved a little bit which startled me & i jumped back out of site, i didn't want him to see me. About 3 mins went by & i started hearing my wife breathing heavy. I could see his hand inside of her panties & she was getting totally turned on
HighheelWendy 41-45, M 3 Responses 26 Feb 23, 2013
Ohh, she plays the game with you and lets him (you) put his hand down her panties, huh? I think she knows where this is going.
I love this, I have I strong desire to watch my girl friend. and did it, I got her another guy and I watched. I loved watching her.
Uh huh! On to part 3!

Sidonie-Gabriel Colette - Biography
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, was a French Novelist. She was born on January 28, 1873 and died on August 3, 1974. Colette, whose real name was Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, was a major French novelist. She was born in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye in the Yonne county, situated in the Burgundy region in eastern France on January 28th 1873. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette was the last child of the union of Sidonie Landoy and the captain Colette who both lived a modest life. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would get her passion in literature from her father and her sense of freedom from her mother. The child lived a happy childhood in a small village of Burgundy. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette met Henry Gauthier-Villars (1859 - 1931) who would become a writer and music critic under the pen name of Willy. Today he is know mostly for having been Sidonie-Gabriel Colettes mentor and bisexual first husband. They were married on May 15th 1893 in Châtillon-Coligny in northern central France when she was only twenty years of age.
Henry Gauthier-Villars encouraged Sidonie-Gabriel Colette to write and publish her childhoods memories. It is in this way that the Claudine series of four would come to see the light of day. First we would have Claudine à lécole (Claudine at School) first published in 1900 and initially under Willys name. It would be followed by Claudine à Paris (Claudine in Paris), Claudine en ménage (Claudine Married), and finally Claudine sen va (translated in English as Claudine and Annie even though the French title actually means Claudine goes away), all published between 1900 and 1903
After her divorce from Henry Gauthier-Villars in 1906 Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would start signing her own books. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette began preforming in music hall shows, most notably at the Moulin Rouge, with Mathilde de Morny (1863 1944), or Missy a rich liberated bisexual woman. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette became open about her close relationships with women which was taboo at that time. Mathilde de Morny would buy the manor of Rozven in Britanny, northwest of France, where the two of them could spend time together and where Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would be able to write in peace.
Attention to the precise use of words in Sidonie-Gabriel Colettes writing would keep increasing, especially so when they were meant to express the outpouring of feelings together with a free sensual development. For Sidonie-Gabriel Colette this was all in order to claim the rights of the flesh which had thus far only been given to the mind. Her prose is refreshingly open, honest, perhaps even a precursor to feminism, and possibly because of this her oeuvre still today gets heat from chauvinist literary critics.
After her divorce, Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would have a brief affair with the wealthy and connected Auguste Olympe Hériot (1886 - 1951) whom she had met in 1909, and for which he is mostly known today. In 1912, however, Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would marry the journalist and politician Henry de Jouvenel (1876 - 1935). A year later they would have a daughter named Colette but nicknamed Bel-Gazou. They had met at the daily newspaper Le Matin (Morning) where she had started a career in journalism and where he was a news editor. Colette would go as far as being a literary manager for this same newspaper. In 1920 Sidonie-Gabriel Colette published Chéri (Cheri), in 1923 Le Blé en herbe (Ripening Seed), Sido (1929), and La Chatte (The Cat) in 1933.
Chéri is the story of a romance in the Paris of the 1920s between an older woman and a young man. The young man is the son of a wealthy woman and becomes friendly with his mothers friends who provide romantic education for six years. When he is forced to marry a woman of his age, he does not forget his first love and instead finds refuge in an imaginary world. It is important to note that there are parallels between this story with Sidonie-Gabriel Colette's own life. At the age of forty Colette would play a similar role for Bertrand de Jouvenel, her second husbands seventeen-year old son. Chéri would become a fantasy that would come true since the book would not be published until 1920 but its design and conception dates back to 1912, a few years before her affair with Bertrand de Jouvenel. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette's divorce from Henry de Jouvenel would be in 1923. In the same way as she would do for her divorce from Willy twenty five years later with Mes apprentissages(1936), Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would with Julie de Carneilhan (1941) take revenge on her ex-husband.
In 1950 a French movie adaptation of Chéri was first released and in 2009 the book would become famous again by becoming the storyline of a major motion picture starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend. Sidonie-Gabriel Colettes subtle analysis of both the feminine soul and the cruel spells of seduction together with Sidonie-Gabriel Colettes sometimes somewhat sad humor come through quite successfully in the film rendition of one of her most famous and celebrated works.
In Le Blé en herbe Sidonie-Gabriel Colette manages to put into vivid words the story of Philippe and Venca who have been best friends since childhood and the loss of childhood innocence during the long days of summer on the coast of Brittany.
Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would also be a music lover and she would even get to work with the famous French composer Maurice Ravel (1875 - 1937) between 1919 and 1925, writing the libretto for his opera entitled LEnfant et les sortilèges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties (The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts).
Sidonie-Gabriel Colette was friends with numerous famous people including with the American writer expatriate in Paris Natalie Clifford Barney (1876 - 1972) and with the famous music hall performer and one of Paris most beautiful upper-class escort of the Belle Époque, Liane de Pougy (1869 - 1950).
In 1941 Sidonie-Gabriel Colette's third husband Maurice Goudeket was a Jew and would be arrested by the Germans but she would succeed in getting him released. Not long after Sidonie-Gabriel Colette began suffering with arthritis and eventually became immobilized. In 1945 she would be unanimously elected member of the prestigious Académie Goncourt, rival of the other famous but more conservative Académie française. In 1949 Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would become its president. In 1948 Colettes complete works would first appear and some would be made into films. Most notably is Gigi (1944) which would be a triumph in the United States with Audrey Hepburn.
In 1953 Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would be promoted Officer of the Legion of Honor, one of the highest honors in France. At that point Sidonie-Gabriel Colette was at the height of her success. She moved to an apartment at the Palais-Royal, a palace in the 1st arrondissement of Paris across the Louvre and she had the writer and filmmaker Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963) as her neighbor. Maurice Goudeket (1889 - 1977), her third and last husband (from 1935) took care of her and the increasing pain of osteoarthritis. Sidonie-Gabriel Colette had met him when she was 62 and he was 45 years old.
Sidonie-Gabriel Colette would die in Paris on August 3rd 1954 at the age of 81. In spite of the refusal of the Roman Catholic church to give a religious funeral, Sidonie-Gabriel Colette is the only woman in France who would be entitled to a state funeral. She would be buried in the famous cemetery of Père-Lachaise where other famous artists are buried. Her daughter was to be buried by her side. Sidonie-Gabriel Colettes numerous letters would be published posthumously in several volumes.

Big '08 win boomerangs on Democrats
In Mr. Obama's home state of Illinois, where Republican Rep. Mark Steven Kirk is in a dead heat with Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, the Illinois state treasurer.
The Illinois race seemed unlikely two years ago after Mr. Obama resigned his seat to move to the White House. Filling it in such a heavily Democrats state with a Democratic governor seemed to be a mere formality.
Kent Redfield, a political science professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said that if Mr. Obama still held the Senate seat, "he would essentially just be cruising toward re-election" and that Mr. Kirk likely would not have run.
"The Senate seat would not be in play," Mr. Redfield said.
Redfield's comments were featured in a September 30, 2010, article in the Washington Times.

SHERMAN -- The Supreme Court of Texas made a special trip to Austin College this morning.
Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson and seven other justices heard two court cases today in front of a packed house at Austin College.
