Grantee Research Project Results
Honorable Mention - The Subcommittee has also added a fourth non-cash level award for research efforts which are noteworthy but which do not warrant a Level I, II or III award. Honorable Mention applies to research that: (1) may not quite reach the level described for a Level III award; (2) show a promising area of research that the Subcommittee wants to encourage; or (3) show an area of research that the Subcommittees feels is too preliminary to warrant an award recommendation (yet).

Re: Reversal
Doug could smell it again, even before he could see it.
Fumes. Smoke. Polluted. Awful.
He fought off sneezing. Sneezing in a dream? He pondered that for a split second. No stranger than anything else that had happened during the past week or so.
He walked through white fog and shadows. "I can't find you." he finally said, in exasperation.
"I can't find you." came her voice.
"Talk to me!" he yelled joyfully. "Talk!"
"Yes, talk. Tell me about, about pasta and, and Titan and
blue dresses and baseball. Just, just talk to me and let me find you!"
"Blue. Dresses?"
"Yes! Just speak, babble, it doesn't even have to be coherent." he could tell he was closer but something was off.
"Bab, babble, she said cautiously. "I, I, Yipran."
It was less foggy, and less white. It was ... silvery.
"Hmm? One more sentence. A few more steps."
"Awake. Four. Friend."
"No, you're sleeping, he said, reaching a silvery shape. It was a curtain. He parted it.
She was at least, it seemed to be her lying in a bed. Large tubes in both arms. Unfamiliar monitoring equipment behind her. Arms were, strange, wearing long patterned sleeves.
"Sleeping?" she asked.
"Yes, Lili. You may not believe it, but you are sleeping." he came closer.
"Believe, she said tentatively, then looked at him quizzically. "Who who are you?"
Treve really didn't want to be there alone, late at night, babysitting a hazardous alien. Still, he had his studies with him. Might as well be productive. History. Philosophy. Nothing too exciting but not too bad. The life of a future diplomat, he thought to himself. A diplomat to inferiors.
The alien stirred.
"Oh, you're up, he said.
"Up." she parroted.
"Yes." he came closer for a look. "You must be very old. Your hair is so long. And no calloo any more, too, just bare
extremities when we plucked you."
"Yes, calloo. It's what those patterns on your arms and legs are called. Once they're gone, you're close to dying. Doesn't matter what from you're ancient if you have no calloo."
"Yes. Like you. You're very old. But still strong. Odd, he said, coming even closer.
She grabbed at him, which surprised him. "Old?" she asked.
"Yes. You. You are old, he said, but he didn't make a move to take her hand away.
She smiled at him. "Not. Not old."
"Hmm. Maybe not. I don't even know if you humans have calloo. Doesn't matter. I wonder what else is true of your anatomy, he said, beginning to enjoy her grip on him.
"Anatomy, she said, smiling. She pulled her thin hospital shift up.
"Oh, he said, looking down at her. "You may not be able to speak much, but you don't seem to have forgotten this." he bent over for a closer inspection. She then grabbed his bald head and kissed him.
"What?" she asked.
"What do I want to do? Is that what you are asking?"
"I," he smiled, "I am a bit flattered, I admit. I have not been
with a woman. Not an alien and not a Calafan. And I'm tempted to find out just what sex with you would be like."
"Sex, she said, licking her lips. "Like."
This time he initiated the kiss. "I, I should tell you. When we, we Calafans, uh, mate "
"Yes, when we, when we mate, my, uh, my climax, it takes a while. Everything swells up so that I can release as much, uh, sperm as possible. Things might be at least that is my understanding might become sticky. Or, or tight."
"Tight, she said, hands all over him now, clutching at his clothes to get them off.
Doug was stricken. "It's, it's me. It's Doug. Your Doug."
He was very close, and reached for her. She shrank back.
MacKenzie was ambling through the halls. Sure the Empress wanted him in for repair work. Ugh. How dull.
He spied a lone female. "Haddon!"
"Everyone's busy. I'm just getting off shift, finally." she complained.
"Wanna get off another way?"
"I'm with Masterson." she pointed out.
"Haddon, until Crossman is back, you'll be, uh, otherwise engaged every night. Up for it?"
She looked around and weighed her options, then followed him to his quarters.
"Don't, don't be afraid of me. Please, please, don't be afraid, Doug said.
"I, I don't, don't ..." her voice trailed off.
"I don't know what's happening with you, he said gently. "You, you seem sick or hurt somehow. You're in some sort of a hospital, I think. And you don't seem to know me. But I know you. And, and, I will not harm you."
"I, I don't know you, she said, voice trembling.
"And you don't seem to know yourself, either. You, you are Lili O'Day. You can cook and you can laugh and you are, you are, uh, responsible for me becoming, well, becoming sane, he said.
"Let me, let me touch you, he said softly. "Just, please. I've waited so long."
She closed her eyes and braced herself. "God," he said, "what did they do to you?" He reached closer. Several centimeters away, a spark leapt from his hand to her arm. She jumped and cried out incoherently. "Oh my God. I am so, so sorry. I, God, I've made a mess of it. I, I never, never meant to hurt you."
She looked up. "Like, like stones."
"You, you remember something, he said quietly.
"Yep." he took her hand and the sparking stopped. "I'm going to get you out of here."
Treve and the alien woman were done and he was contemplating another round. "That was delicious, he said to her.
"Yes, well, I wish I knew your real name, but I'm afraid I don't. And I can't go around calling you by my own mother's
name, even if everyone else is going to."
"Yes. You, you have a name. And so does everything else. Like, like here." he pointed to her left hand. "Correct hand. And the other one is the incorrect hand."
"Yes. Correct and incorrect, both sides. And here," he took her hand. "Thumb." he kissed it. "Ub finger." he kissed her index finger. "Fep finger." he kissed the middle finger. "Abic finger." he kissed her ring finger.
"And Lo finger." he kissed her pinky.
She leaned over and kissed his arm. "Calloo."
"Yes, that's right. But I don't really have much in the way of calloo yet. I wish I could ask you how old you are. I suspect
you're younger than you appear to be, but there's no way of confirming that, not really." He touched her lips and she smiled at him.
"You are a naughty alien, he said, I have no basis of comparison, of course. I, I, one thing that can happen when we Calafans mate is, we pair bond very strongly. I didn't think that was possible with an alien. It's not supposed to be."
"Bond, she said, Pair."
"Do you want to have another go?"
"Yes!" she said.
While they were kissing, the door opened.
"How?" she asked.
"That's, uh, to be determined."
She shook her head, shaking off cobwebs. "I, oh, where am I?"
"I wish I knew, Doug said, You'll need to gather the clues yourself. I can only see whatever you can see."
She looked at him intently. "I, I think I may know you. But I can't place you."
"Treve!" It was Dr. Baden.
"Oh, my!" Treve sprang to his feet. He covered himself with his right hand.
"Incorrect hand!" the alien woman pointed and giggled.
"What have you done?" Baden asked.
"I, I, isn't it obvious?"
"Yes, but with an inferior? Treve, this is an old military tactic. It's a weapon in an arsenal."
"It was what we both wanted, Treve said.
"Inferiors don't give consent. They can't. Their minds can't
wrap around it. Get dressed."
Treve didn't have to be told twice. "Doctor, uh, doctor, I'm so sorry. Please, please don't tell my father or Polloria. Please."
"Allow me to explain this to you." The doctor said, once Treve was dressed. "Actually, not in here. Come with me." They walked into the next room. "Treve, that is an alien.
They are no more sentient than the animals in the streams and the fields, that we use for our food. You cannot do such things and not expect there to be consequences."
"I, I know. I don't know what came over me."
"The Festival of Ub and Fep is tomorrow. No time to really do anything about this until after that. And the alien will be eliminated by then, Baden said.
"Y-yes, sir."
"Don't tell me you've pair bonded."
"N-no, sir."
"You'd best not have. Polloria doesn't want any complications."
Doug smiled at her. "That's something, at least. I, I don't want to give you too much, too soon."
"Is there, is there a lot?"
"Yes, he said, thumb caressing her fingers. "There is a lot. There's everything."
"Are we, uh, are we together?"
"Kind of. It's a lot to explain." He sat down on the side of her bed. "You and I aren't even awake right now, which is even crazier. But you and I, we, uh, it's very special."
"Are you in the room with me?"
"No, not, not really. And I don't even know where the room
is. Do you, do you have any clues?"
"There is a doctor. At least I think he is one. And children."
"Yes. They are, they are my children."
"No. They aren't. You're being sold a bill of goods."
"A, a what?"
"Um, you're being lied to, Doug said, Anything else?"
"It smells bad. Like cleaning solution, I think. And there is, there is my, he says he is, my, my husband. Am I, uh,
having an affair with you?"
Doug smiled. "It's not like that." He felt the tug of morning. "I'm going to wake up soon. And the connection will be broken until we both fall asleep again. I know that makes no sense and I don't have the time to explain it right now. I can tell you're recovering but I think you'd better make it look like you aren't. I think if they think you're a lot better, they'll try to figure out why. And then they might cut this connection off again somehow."
"I, I can't pretend to understand, she said, I'm not even sure I can trust you, but you seem warm and, and I don't know. There is just something."
"Yes, there is definitely something, he said, I would like to kiss you but I don't want to alarm or upset you in any way. But I can't help telling you that that's what I want to do."
She smiled at him. "I, I feel like I barely know myself. But I feel I am a loyal person. Whether I am loyal to this, to my husband, or to you, I cannot tell."
"You'll need to be careful, remember that. Please don't let them think you're more recovered. You've got to go back to just saying a few random words." He kissed her hand. "The best hand. I couldn't resist." He got up.
"Will you be back?"
"Count on it."
He disappeared into the mist and, before he awoke, he typed out his findings.

Curtain Up: Life can be quite relaxing when the season is over
Summertime and the pickings are slim in terms of entertainment options, at least as compared to season. That's not necessarily all bad. It can get exhausting having all that fun in February and March, attending as many performances as you can, sometimes two or three times a week. Summer gives us a chance to relax and catch up on other things we have been missing.
Television of course is generally a wasteland even at the best of times, but now that the three shows we actually like to watch are all on reruns (thank goodness for "Friday Night Lights" and its off-season schedule), things are particularly grim. However if, like us, you are too parsimonious to pay for premium channels, this can be a good opportunity to catch up via DVD. We love the oddball antics of the polygamists and their kin on "Big Love." The new (old) season of "True Blood" is finally going to be available from Netflix this week — I can't wait to see what the bloodsuckers are up to.
The offerings at the movies are also catch-as-catch-can. But having seen "Midnight in Paris," the new Woody Allen charmer, we decided to do a Woody Allen marathon. Netflix has available in streaming format "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy," with a great cast of Allen regulars (Tony Roberts, Mia Farrow) and a wonderful performance by Jose Ferrer as a pompous professorial type, a precursor of a similar character in "Midnight in Paris." We then caught the 1971 "Bananas," one of the very funny, silly early Allen films. There are lots more to catch up on. We'll save our favorite "Annie Hall" for last.
Meanwhile, there's the beach (imagine!), kayaking, cycling, family and entertaining our year-round friends that we do not get to see when everything is so busy. Next month we get to take one of our periodic trips to New York for our theater fix. I'll let you know about that. Life is good.

Entry Service
Auroville admission policy
Entry Service Annual
Entry Service final report
Introduction: This mandate represents a synthesis of input from the present and previous Entry groups.
Entry Group membership
MEMBERS volunteer, or are nominated and are ratified by the Residents Assembly. The term is three years. If a member wishes to continue after the term he must be re-ratified by the Residents Assembly. The members are committed to regular attendance at meetings, to Mothers guidelines in their own lives, and working as a group. Their decisions are group decisions and the group stands responsible for them, and keeps accurate records of them. All members must observe discretion about the information entrusted to them.
The present Entry group has been set up into three sub-groups:
1) Administration/office
The function of this office is to receive and inform people who are interested in joining Auroville, and to do all the required administrative work such as correspondence, processing applications, and requesting recommendation letters from the Auroville Foundation, as well as to interview new applicants in conjunction with the Core Group. The Administration also acts as a coordination body for the Core Group and Contact Persons.
2) Core Group
The Core Group consists of five or more Aurovilians who act as an overview body. The functions of the Core Group are to review all the information and feedback coming from the Administration, the Contact people, the educational program staff and the community at large and it is they who decide on Aurovilian status ( See below: Current policy of admission to Residents Assembly). The Core Group can be called upon to review and settle "problem cases" or conflict situations, and be a reference body for the Newcomer and the Contact person in case of difficulties. Members of the Core Group must have lived in Auroville for at least five years.
3) Contact work
Contact persons are a pool of Aurovilian who have volunteered to help facilitate one or more Newcomers to integrate smoothly into the Auroville community during their Newcomer period. The Administration and Core Group selects a Contact Person for each Newcomer based on language and affinities or needs. The task of a Contact Person is to interact with the Newcomer and provide guidance and assistance, in the light of the aims of Auroville, when and where needed. The Contact Person acts also as a link between the Core Group and the Newcomer providing quarterly updates on the Newcomers progress in integrating into the community and on any changes in the workplace or residence.
The Newcomer process
Current policy for returning Aurovilians
Aurovilians who have left Auroville for more than five years are removed from the Master List. Aurovilians coming back to Auroville after a period of five years are announced in the AV News as Returning Aurovilians.
Six months after they have returned to Auroville, they are again announced in the Auroville News as a Returned Aurovilian, and after two weeks, if no negative feedback has been received they are re-entered on to the Master List.
Unless arrangements have been made with the Housing group, all rights and claims to living quarters are lost after an absence of five years.

Christina's World - Andrew Wyeth, July 12, 1917–January 16, 2009
From the time I first saw the painting, "Christina's World", I was in awe. And I had no reason to state for why the painting captivated me. But that's the power of true art. It grabs you in a part of your soul where so much remains a mystery.

Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties finally will receive their supplemental federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds for the year, several months later than usual.
The Community Action Planning Council of Jefferson County, the fiscal agent for those funds in Jefferson County, received notification recently that it would receive $47,180 to award to nonprofit agencies that can deliver emergency food or shelter programs.
According to the national shelter program board, the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program received $49,665 on behalf of St. Lawrence County.
The need is always great in our county for heat and rental assistance, said Tammy S. Kitto, CAPC emergency services manager. This is just to supplement ongoing programs. You may not get it each year.
This year, 24 of the states 62 counties received an award, according to the national EFSP boards website.
Lewis County was left out. Lewis County Opportunities CEO Scott P. Mathys said this is the second consecutive year the county didnt receive any of the money.
Weve been passed over again, and that will obviously be very hard for people in this area, he said. We are concerned for residents in this area as we enter into the winter season.
Lewis County Opportunities, which is the fiscal agent in that county, last received a program award, $17,000, in federal fiscal year 2009-10.
CAPC and any agency that normally would have applied for subgrant awards at the beginning of the year must do so now. Typically, Ms. Kitto said, CAPC receives notification in January of the overall award. Selected organizations are notified in the spring, and funds typically are to be spent by Nov. 30.
This year, CAPC didnt receive the award notification until a couple of days before the end of November.
Ms. Kitto said the formula under which award amounts are calculated was reviewed at every phase, and statistics, such as incomes, were obtained by the national EFSP board. She said the statistical source the national board used was different from that of prior years, and a thorough review of data was needed to make accurate award announcements.
CAPC aims to get Jefferson County agencies to apply for funds by 5 p.m. Monday. There are eligibility requirements: the agency must be a nonprofit or unit of government, eligible to receive federal funds, have an accounting system, practice nondiscrimination, demonstrate ability to deliver emergency food and shelter programs, and, if a private volunteer organization, there must be a volunteer board of directors.
After the deadline passes, the local shelter program board will review applications, determine allocations and submit its plan to the national board.
Im thankful we got some money, because not all counties get it, Ms. Kitto said. With all the disasters recently, were lucky we even got any. Theres a chance, hopefully, that we get some from the state set-aside thats whats left over from original awards.
The total state set-aside amount is $954,524, according to the national board.
Nonprofit agencies in St. Lawrence County already submitted their applications to receive a part of the countys overall EFSP award.
Last year, Jefferson County received $46,448. CAPC typically receives part of the grant. With those supplemental funds, the agency is able to help about 150 people with rent and utility assistance.
For more information, nonprofits or governments in Jefferson County can call Ms. Kitto at the agency at 782-4900.

Hi, I think you need to contact out support to get more details about this phenomena.
I purchased Wondershare Photo Recovery, and it seemed to work. However, when I try to view the pics, it say "no preview available". Does this mean my photo's were logically lost?
Hi, sorry to hear what has happened. I have to see it seems your memory card is attacked by virus. You might need to try an anti-virus program to check it first.
when I connected memorycard to windows 8 laptop all files changed to shortcut.and half of the memorycard deleted..wht to do? plz help..
Can you preview the photo in the scan result after scanning?
I have recovered pictures but when i open it, it says no preview available. Help me please to resolve this issue. thanks.
If you can only get back the thumbnail, the original picture may have been overwritten. When losing data on the memory card, stop using it as soon as possible. Any operation can make the lost data overwritten.
I haven't tried Wondershare yet but I've tried trial versions of other photo recovery tools. I get most of my lost photographs back but however I can only see a thumbnail verison of them. When I double click, they are grey. Just wondering if in anyway at all possible they can be recovered? these pics are very special to me, I was devastated when they got deleted.!
Maybe, not 100%. So you need to download the trial version of the program to scan it at first.
if i deleted a video in SD card and took some photos after that, will the photo overwrites the video?

Reclaim Forgotten Cash
Find lost cash in old accounts & pensions
Get Martin's Free Money Tips Email!
For all the latest deals, guides and loopholes - join the 10m who get it. Don't miss out
Up to £15 billion of unclaimed financial assets in the UK lie in old bank accounts, pensions, life assurance and investments - yet most are easy to reclaim.
So whether the account's yours or belonged to a deceased relative, it's worth spending 10 minutes looking. You could be in line for a windfall - one MSE forum user found an old pension worth £39,000.
Up to £15 billion of unclaimed financial assets in the UK lie in old bank accounts, pensions, life assurance and investments - yet most are easy to reclaim.
So whether the account's yours or an inheritance from a deceased relative, it's worth spending 10 minutes looking. You could be in line for a windfall - one user of this site found an old pension worth £39,000.
In this guide
What is a lost asset?
There's big money stored away waiting to be reclaimed. Some believe there's up to £500 million in old bank and building society accounts alone. There's also lost cash in Premium Bonds, pensions, investments and insurance policies - maybe up to £15 billion in total.
In fact there's so much lost cash, the Government has started to use it, setting up a 'Big Society fund' for social and community causes using cash in accounts that have been dormant for more than 15 years.
However, any cash that is yours should still be available for reclaiming. You just need to do it!
And it really works - MoneySaver Lance reports:
Used the information on your site to search for any old pensions I might have had years ago. Found I had £39,000 pension with Scottish Widows. Thank you.Lance
Read Lance's full story.
How do I know if Ive got a lost asset?
As it's lost, you won't necessarily know that you have one.
Accounts are declared dormant after banks fail in attempts to track you down at your last known address. Investment providers will continue to administer your investment, but if you don't tell them when you move, you can't monitor how that investment's performing. There are two main triggers for financial service providers:

Find old bank accounts and savings
Tracing old accounts and reclaiming your money from them used to involve filling in a different form depending on what type of account you were trying to locate; a bit of a repetitive strain. The good news is you can now use one site to check a whole bunch of them.
The British Bankers' Association, the Building Societies Association and National Savings & Investments (NS&I) have a joint venture, My Lost Account, which replaces their separate account tracing tools.
Use this to find lost current accounts or savings accounts. It's estimated the unclaimed cash in these could be £500 million, so it's worth it.
To start reclaiming, simply go to the site, select 'search' and you can fill in the details about the account you are looking for.
After that it's a waiting game; banks and building societies say they'll respond within three months of the claim.
If a bank/ building society can't agree on the validity of your claim you have the right to appeal internally through the bank and then, if still unsuccessful, to refer your complaint to the independent arbiter, the Financial Ombudsman Service. Also, see the Financial Fightback guide for other complaints the FOS can help with.
Premium Bonds
Lost your premium bonds? If you've lost Premium Bonds, or other NS&I savings or investments, the MyLostAccount service helps you trace them. It's estimated there's £435 million in lost NS&I savings accounts and Premium Bonds.
To start reclaiming, simply go to the site, select 'search' and you can fill in the details about the Premium Bonds or NS&I account you are looking for. NS&I says it'll get back to you within one month with the results of your search.
Have the bonds, but want to check if you've won? Once you've tracked down your Premium Bonds, and got your holder's number, you can check if you're owed one (or more) of the unclaimed prizes on the NS&I Premium Bonds prize checker. There's around £50 million in unclaimed Premium Bond prizes.
Bonds that were bought more than 30 years ago are unlikely to have a Premium Bond holder's number associated with them - you're likely just to have the individually-numbered bonds. If that's the case, you can write to NS&I to ask for one.
Have you reclaimed cash using My Lost Account? Please report your Reclaiming Lost Assets Success Stories
Pension and investment products
It's not just bank accounts, in fact there's more money hidden away in old investments and pensions. Use the services below to find yours.
Pensions (employer and personal schemes only)
Always try to keep in touch with your pension schemes as it may affect your ability to claim pension benefits when you retire if you lose contact. With details of over 200,000 pensions schemes The Pension Tracing Service helps you find an up-to-date contact address for the scheme you're looking for.
Remember if a close relative has died without taking their pension, you may be eligible for that pension fund cash too.
Unit trusts
For help in tracing unit trusts, you can contact the Investment Association, either by calling 020 7831 0898 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Investment trusts
The Association of Investment Companies will take you through the process of searching for lost investment trusts if you call it on 020 7282 5555 or email it: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Catch-all service, but fee to pay
If you've lost a insurance policy, pension, or shareholding, then the Unclaimed Assets Register (run by Experian) can be used to trace it. It does a single search of all companies signed up to the register - 4.5 million records, from around 80 different providers.
If there's a match, you'll be given the provider's contact details so you can investigate further with them. Your data is also kept, and regularly re-run against the database, as new providers join and more account data is uploaded.
However, this service is not free. You're charged a fixed fee, currently £25. However, you're not charged a second time if/when your data is re-run.
Have you reclaimed cash from investments/pensions/life insurance? Please report your Reclaiming Lost Assets Success Stories
Can I reclaim assets of deceased relatives?
Yes. When using any of these searches you'll be asked whether the claim is for an account of yours, and if not, the name of the account holder is requested. At the point when the information is passed on to the account/investment provider, it will then contact you to confirm your identity, and work through ensuring the cash gets to the right person.

Today called "hookups" by college students throughout the U.S., a recent study reveals that 85% of your average twentysomethings have had one or more. In fact, in many instances, that's how relationships begin today. That one night stand was pretty fun, so they do it again and again until a relationship is established. And those seemingly "promiscuous" beginnings don't necessarily paint a dark picture about teens and sex.
We hear stories that teens are losing their virginity younger and younger and worry about the pregnancy rate with popular MTV shows like "Teen Moms" making celebs of these teens. But the truth is closer to to more conservative numbers. The CDC reports a decrease in teens having sex with 54% reported intercourse by the end of high school in 1991 vs. 47% in 2011. And 33.7% had only lost their virginity in the last three months.
Studies suggest that young men more often engage in these hookups than young women (48 percent vs. 33 percent). The biggest predictor of hookups by far was alcohol. Forty-eight percent had hooked up without intercourse, while 30 percent of hookups went all the way. And with a whopping 78% seeing each other again, this bodes that hookups are the new entry into relationships. Experts also agree that while a hookup with a stranger may cause some regrets, more often than not, they don't create any lasting emotional damage.
Casual sexual encounters are seen as a way to explore sexuality, and when consensual and protection is used, it can be liberating. More surprisingly one source cites "that for both men and women, casual sex improves their feelings of sexual satisfaction." And for men (but not women) "recreational sex improves their overall feelings of happiness and sexual self-esteem."
Conversely, gossip by other females is recognized as one of the biggest reason why women "hold back sexually" and don't go "too far." Gossip can be brutal and women still support that double standard that it's okay for the goose and not for the gander more than men do.
Past experience with hookups or preconceived notions about them can affect the feelings surrounding them. Most partners feel positive and aroused before the hookup, but after feelings of regret, disappointment, confusion and discomfort seem to prevail. The term "slut" still holds weight among women, though some embrace the term to empower themselves sexually today.
Friends With Benefits
The conversation partners have with that stranger may set the course on how their relationship goes. Do they ask questions and talk about future plans such as goals and philosophies, or is the conversation about the here and now and how they feel? As you can imagine, deeper meaning conversations can lead to matches with longevity whereas things that are exciting, physical and visceral such as food, music, dancing, etc. can lead to a steamy night between the sheets.
Have hookups ever lead to a long term relationship for you? Let us know what you think about them.

Erich von Stroheim, 1924, 140 min., archival 35mm print, with original score and live musical accompaniment by Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra
7 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Webster University's Winifred Moore Auditorium, 470 E. Lockwood Ave. Free screening. Seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
As part of the 2013 Greater St. Louis Humanities Festival, Cinema St. Louis and the Webster U. Film Series present a 35mm screening of Erich von Stoheim's classic silent film "Greed" (1924), with an original score and live musical accompaniment by the Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra. Von Stroheim's film speaks to the festival's theme – "Money, Money! Need, Greed, and Generosity" – on several levels.
Based on Frank Norris' novel "McTeague," "Greed" involves the manifold troubles that ensue after the wife (ZaSu Pitts) of McTeague (Gibson Gowland) wins a lottery prize of $5,000. Striving for maximum realism, von Stroheim produced a nearly eight-hour version of the film, but MGM eventually cut "Greed" to 140 minutes for commercial reasons. The uncut version is considered lost. The film will be introduced and discussed by former Chicago Reader film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, author of the BFI Film Classics volume on "Greed."
The Humanities Festival, which runs April 4-6 at multiple locations, is funded by the Whitaker Foundation and the Regional Arts Commission.

Westmoreland County commissioners consider settlement to former inmate who claims guard beat him
Westmoreland County commissioners are expected to approve a payment to a former jail inmate to head off a potential lawsuit claiming he was beaten by a guard at the facility two years ago.
Commissioners will vote to pay Sheldon Pinnock $7,500 at a meeting Thursday morning.
Pinnock, 26 of Arnold claimed he was attacked by guard David Simms when he was being booked into the county jail on May 26, 2011.
Solicitor R. Mark Gesalman said Pinnock contended he argued with Simms about money during his intake. Simms pulled Pinnock across a desk and beat him, Gesalman said.
Pinnock sustained minor injuries in the assault, according to Gesalman.
"The corrections officer was suspended and there was an attempt to dismiss him," Gesalman said.
Human Resources Director Chuck Dominick said Simms' firing was overturned by an arbiter in April 2012, who determined the guard should keep his job because he was a longtime county employee and had no prior record of poor job performance.
Dominick said Simms, who served more than eight months on suspension, did not get credit for back pay while he was off the job.
Pinnock's lawyer, Fran Murrman, did not file a lawsuit in the case. Murrman said he could not comment on the case, citing a confidentiality clause in the settlement agreement.
Ed Yankovich, vice president for the United Mine Workers of America, the union that represents guards at the jail, defended Simms.
"We don't believe Dave was guilty of excessive force and we stand by our decision to fight his termination," Yankovich said.
Warden John Walton said Simms was back on the job, working a regular shift as a guard.
Pinnock has since been released from prison, according to Murrman.

You can think of it as a Last.FM / Pandora competitor with social networking features. Its the YouTube of Mp3s. It would be awesome to be able to stream playlists and the such from the IMeem site to XBMC. I am posting this in the scripts section, but the more I think about it, native support in XBMC (like Last.FM) would be perfect. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback Snowolf!
Its really different when you watch yourself on video, you tend to notice things you dont think you are doing
Funny thing is, we were talking about ruddering right before we took these
but decided it was a hard habit to break as it felt more "comfortable"
With #1, I always thought I was using the sidecut to some extent but by watching the vid it looks like im just sliding down on the edges heh. Kinda sucks but I know where im going wrong!
I guess 2 and 4 are related? with the open upper body, it leads the back hand to come out?
I dont really have an issue initiating toeside turns but sometimes I feel I have to push that little extra or force my hips through it - I guess this is from the open body going the other way?
With the stance, I think there is a little bit of laziness there from the slope but man I honestly thought I was doing more there! More bending here I come!
We will definitely take this on board especially for the next time we are out!
Thanks again!

Class Observations
See your classroom from a new perspective to get new ideas to maximize student learning.
Classroom observations help you see your classroom in a new way – with concrete information about how you use time and space. These 20-30 minute observation sessions are performed by one of CETL's experienced teaching consultants. At the follow-up meeting, you will work with the teaching consultant to develop ideas on how to improve your teaching effectiveness, time management, and your ability to engage all of your students. You will likely get far more ideas than you can implement in the current quarter!
- What happens after I schedule a classroom observation?
A teaching consultant will contact you to schedule your observation and follow-up consultation and to answer any questions you have.
- What happens during the classroom observation?
The teaching consultant will sit unobtrusively in your classroom for 20 to 30 minutes taking notes on everything s/he sees. While the consultant cannot record everything that happens, s/he will focus on items that will be most useful in helping you to increase your teaching effectiveness.
To put your students at ease, you should explain to them that the consultant is there to gather information about your teaching and is primarily watching you, not them.
- How will I learn from an observation of my class?
In providing classroom consultations, you will see your teaching from your students' points of view. The classroom transcript provides you two types of "data":
- Temporal: The transcript will help you see how time works in your classroom. It includes notes about your activities and behaviors during class, as well as those of your students. For example, the transcript will help you review how much time you spend per concept and what proportion of time is spent on lecture, questions, and discussion.
- Spatial: A map of your classroom will help you see how space works in your classroom. It shows which students ask questions, which students answer questions, which students remain silent, and more. You may find you only talk to students in the first two rows, allowing students to avoid active participation by sitting elsewhere in the room.

The Guadalupe Valley wine region is located in the state of Baja California, Mexico. Also mistakenly known sometimes as Valle de Calafia (a name that has been used to promote products of this region on both a national and international level) the correct name is Valle de Guadalupe, in honor to the Franciscan mission established in one of their plateaus Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe del Norte, and destroyed by 1840.
The Guadalupe Valley is a magical land surrounded by boulder-dotted mountains. It is a valley where the crisp-fresh air perfumed by ripened grapes, and unique beauty, has attracted chefs, artists and enologists alike, who have established an exuberant, world-class wine and culinary industry. It covers several communities as Ejido El Porvenir, Francisco Zarco and San Antonio de las Minas. In the early twentieth century (1900/1910) President Porfirio Diaz agreed to a concession with some Russian families from the United States, for 50 years, to occupy what is now the Francisco Zarco. The Guadalupe Valley is equivalent in size to two thirds of Napa Valley and climatic conditions are very similar to the French southwest.

Buzz Raises Chances of Exile for Chen
Attention After Chen's Escape Signals He'll Be Thorn in Beijing's Side
BEIJING—The daring escape by blind activist Chen Guangcheng has elevated the attention on his case in China and prompted a national media crackdown—which analysts say may diminish his chances of being able to stay in the country.
Mr. Chen escaped from his guarded home in China's eastern Shandong province on April 22, scaling a wall under cover of night and trekking for 20 hours on a wounded leg before being picked up by supporters and driven to Beijing, according to activists who aided him. After moving from safe house to safe house in the capital, these activists say, Mr. Chen sought protection from U.S. officials.
Both the U.S. and Chinese governments have declined to comment on Mr. Chen's whereabouts. His escape will loom over talks that begin Thursday between Chinese officials and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner over a range of economic and political issues.
In fleeing and seeking U.S. protection, analysts say, Mr. Chen has elevated his case, taking what had been home confinement of Mr. Chen under local authorities and turning it into a national issue, which makes it more difficult to find a resolution that lets him remain in China—something activists say he prefers to safe passage out of the country.
"What he's done almost ensures that he has to leave," said Joshua Rosenzweig, a human-rights researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, noting that Beijing is unlikely to want to keep around such a high-profile critic of the country's legal system. "It would be very difficult to imagine any other endgame to this."
After a Friday clampdown as word of Mr. Chen's escape spread across the Chinese Internet, authorities have ratcheted up efforts to block discussion of the topic. Popular Twitter-like microblogging site Sina Weibo has continuously expanded a list of blocked search terms related to Mr. Chen, including the Chinese title for "The Shawshank Redemption," the 1994 prison escape film Mr. Chen's supporters have cited in describing his ordeal. Censors have also blocked virtually every imaginable permutation of Mr. Chen's name, including combinations of Chinese characters and English initials.
Mr. Chen isn't as well known internationally as some other Chinese rights advocates like artist Ai Weiwei and Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo. But analysts say his story and the circumstances behind his imprisonment have allowed somewhat more public discussion of his plight until recently and given him a strong following among a growing minority of politically engaged Chinese.
"He does have a real following in China that spooks the government," said Jeremy Goldkorn, founder of Danwei, a website that tracks Chinese media. "That's why they're being so hard core about this."
U.S.-based activist Bob Fu on Monday raised the possibility that the U.S. and China would come to a "face-saving" arrangement that would allow Mr. Chen and his family to travel to the U.S., not as asylum seekers, but under the pretext of seeking medical attention. Mr. Fu is the founder of Christian human-rights group China Aid, which he says facilitated Mr. Chen's escape.
China generally limits discussion of prominent activists online and in traditional media. Still, the case of Mr. Chen had largely been handled by local officials in his area of Shandong, with the central government in Beijing appearing to have largely kept out of his surveillance, making it less sensitive for censors. He was the subject of some earlier traditional media coverage as his fame rose.
Blinded after a childhood illness, Mr. Chen overcame illiteracy and audited law classes on the way to becoming a locally celebrated "barefoot lawyer." Early in his career, he advocated on behalf of people with disabilities, later making a splash with a high-profile campaign against forced abortions being carried out in his home province under the one-child policy.
"To ordinary Chinese people, this is an individual who's standing up for rule of law and individually guaranteed rights," said Phelim Kine, senior Asia researcher for Human Rights Watch. "These are ideas that increasing numbers of people in China have great sympathy with and support for."
After his family-planning campaign led to the firing of local officials, Mr. Chen was detained by local authorities. In 2006, he was sentenced to four years in prison for disturbing the public order, charges supporters say were trumped up.
Upon his release from prison in 2010, he and his family were confined to their home, watched over by plainclothes guards who sometimes beat them severely, he and other activists have said.
Mr. Chen's plight turned him into a cause célèbre among Chinese activists and others, a number of whom attempted to visit him in his village, occasionally finding themselves in physical confrontations with guards. "Batman" actor Christian Bale was roughly turned away when he tried to visit Mr. Chen in December.
An online campaign calling for Mr. Chen's release began last fall in which hundreds of Internet users uploaded photos of themselves wearing sunglasses in imitation of the activist, some even using them as their profile photos on social-media sites.
The campaign even prompted an editorial in the Global Times, a tabloid published by the Communist Party mouthpiece newspaper People's Daily, that expressed guarded sympathy for Mr. Chen's case while suggesting he was the victim of local officials run amok.
But on Wednesday the Global Times said the U.S. Embassy "would have no interest in turning itself into a petition official receiving Chinese complaints." It also criticized Mr. Chen: "The Western media has portrayed Chen as a blind activist hero, and some Chinese have echoed this view. These have given Chen a wrong impression of his importance to the US and his individual influence in China. His self-judgment has been ruined by exaggerated media reports."

One of my favourite looks is a black suit, stark white shirt with perhaps a stripe, tan waistcoat, and a nice deep red tie and complimentary pocket square. Black and red offset each other beautifully and make for a very dramatic look. I used to have a double breasted black wool suit that I absolutely loved. I grew out of it in my late 20's much to my shock and dismay.
Here's a shot of me and the missus on our 5th anniversary, me wearing a black tonal stripe suit with peak lapels. I no longer own the suit, which is a bit of a long story, but I don't think I look very funereal. I would have worn my homburg, but alas the wifey hasn't gotten used to that one yet ^.^

text: These are 2 pieces I need help identifying the hallmarks. I can't quite tell one is a very heavy set of square serving bowls that are marked with 3 hallmarks, one could be a crown, or a pineabble, or it even looks like a palm tree! Then a standing left facing horse, then an anchor. The next is a footed tray with fleur des leis feather plumage, a crown, left facing lyon then underneath, is right half standing lion a star and another right half standing lion. Under that is 2913/7. Thanks for any information!Attachment 588Attachment 589
