need to decide on a new board
i get to pick out a new snowboard for my birthday, so ive been doiing lots of research. the only mountain i really go to(i have a season pass) is the summit at snoqualmie. if you dont already know, its pretty small, and the only worthwhile place to spend time if your an intermediate snowboarder is the park, because every other run is easy and short. therefore, im looking for a pretty soft board that can jib and do jumps, but has a pretty good carving ability for the days i visit other mountains ( about 5-6 times a year). im really into the idea of reverse camber, and it sounds like the way to go. im about 5'4, weigh 100 lbs, and wear a size 10 boot. keep in mind that i am in the middle of a growth spurt, so i need some growing room. i plan on buying local, because im good friends with the owner of a local shop, and he can get a shipment of a board and cut me a discount. my current board is a 145W burton small. note that he is super against burton boards, so they are not really an option (he calls them "walmart boards" lol). the boards i have looked at are: the arbor draft 2010 153, the gnu park pickle 150, the salamon salvatore sanchez 150, and some capita boards. sorry for writing all this and being a bother, but any advice would be very helpful. thanks so much

I disagree.
Those two are not different. You complain because it's objectively false--but it is the most striking image. It is subjectively true because it is all the people see.
"In my eyes, they're not part of Islam"
Ignoring them only makes it worse.
"'The West', by the way, is just the media, and its the peoples' fault for putting their faith in lies."
There is no lie. The most public face is Islam is terrorism. You don't need media to tell you that. I've seen first hand what radical Islamists do to people who follow a slightly different religious teaching. They shell their schools and murder them at night.
This is not the bulk of Islam--But it is the only part which is visible to the naked eye.
You have this fallacious idea that the burden of change is on the West.
It is not.
The West is not responsible for the 1 Billion being misrepresented--it is their fault for not standing up against those who cause the misrepresentation.
The onus of change CANNOT BE ON OUTSIDERS.
It is not the US's job to change it's view on Iran--it is Iran's job to prove that it is different and change the US's view.
It cannot be the responsibility of The West to change it's view on Islam--it is Islam's job to prove that the minority are not the majority.
By sitting idle, the majority of Muslims are allowing the extremists to dictate the image of Islam.
The only way to change the popular perception of Islam is to remove the element which is altering it for the bad.
Covering your ears and humming to yourself is not a solution. And that is exactly what washing your hands of the extremists by saying "they're not Muslims" is. You're ignoring the problem and expecting outsiders to see what cannot be seen.
Unless you make it be seen.
You are bashing people who are intolerant and then you yourself exercise intolerance against a person who has done nothing but call attention to the fact that the extreme minority control the image of Islam in the world.
Instead of being upset that the West sees Islam as violent, fight against the minority of Muslims for whom Islam IS a religion of violence and who are setting the image of Islam in the rest of the world.
Don't attack the symptom, attack the disease.
Otherwise, you're part of the problem.
OMG! It's GEORGE LUCAS! Check out my Tauntaun costume!

Delaware State University Libraries are part of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). Established by an act of Congress (Title 44, USC), the FDLP ensures public access to information published by the Federal Government. We serve two basic constituencies that overlap to a certain degree:
- Students, faculty, and staff of Delaware State University
- Citizens of Kent County, Delaware
Due to our land-grant status, the university has a strong College of Agriculture and Related Sciences. We offer a full range of liberal arts majors such as mathematics, art, and sociology, plus applied majors such as airway science, nursing, and business. Our item selections reinforce the available resources in these disciplines. The federal depository is open to all. The library building is accessible to handicapped persons, and if they encounter any difficulties retrieving materials, they should speak to a library staff member. Materials received via the depository program come in a variety of formats including print, microfiche, and electronic. These documents can be rich sources of information on a wide variety of topics. However, locating the appropriate government resources can be one of the most challenging tasks in library research.
Finding In-Library Federal Resources
Begin by searching the Online Catalog. Write down the call number, whether it be a Superintendent of Documents number or a Library of Congress (LOC) number, and also note the collection (U.S. Documents, Reference, General Collection, etc.). Not all federal publications are located in the fifth floor U.S. Documents area. For microfiche visit the second floor serials area.
Electronic Federal Resources
Our policy on electronic resources is aimed at direct access resources such as floppy disks, CDs, or DVDs. These tangible electronic resources will circulate. Licensing agreements and copyright issues do not apply to federal publications. These resources are housed in the Electronic Research Center (Room 128). The librarian in Room 128 will retrieve the requested resource. Each item will have the following disclaimer: This software may alter your computer configuration. The library assumes no responsibility for loss of files, damage to your equipment, or for content of files. The Federal Depository Workstation in Room 128 is available for public access to these resources. If the user wants to borrow an electronic resource, s/he will take it to the Circulation/Reserves Desk. Normal checkout procedures will be conducted.
Online Federal Resources
The Government Printing Office has made numerous federal information sources available online via GPO Access. [1]
GPO Access databases include:
Federal Register - Regulatory materials
Code of Federal Regulations - Codification of general and permanent rules of the Executive Branch and Federal agencies
GPO access topic: Business and Economy- Latest economic indicators

November 2015
Overview In summer 2014, crews replaced 277 concrete panels on I-5 between Northeast 117th Street near Northgate and SR 104 in Mountlake Terrace. Panel replacement work will be followed by grinding all the lanes to smooth bumps, remove wheel ruts and provide a better surface with increased traction. The work will help extend the life of the road and improve driver safety. This project is similar to concrete grinding and replacement work WSDOT has performed on I-5 in Kent, Seattle near the Ship Canal Bridge, and I-405 near Bellevue.
Why is WSDOT
replacing concrete panels and grinding all the lanes between Northeast 117th Street and SR 104?
The pavement on I-5 through King County was first installed between 1962 and 1965. It was only intended to last through the 1980s. High traffic volumes, age and weather have all contributed to the telling signs of failing pavement - cracks, bumps and what pavement engineers call spalling. Spalling is pavement that is flaking, chipping or crumbling apart. However you might describe it, the pavement is failing and it's time for longer lasting repairs. Panels that are damaged beyond repair were replaced. Concrete grinding removes wheel ruts, bumps and creates a better surface for drivers. Concrete grinding is one of the best methods available right now to maintain aging concrete. Repairing damaged concrete panels helps extend the life of I-5. • Vehicles of varying weights pass over panels causing the concrete to flex. Cracked panels can't flex properly, which leads to more cracking and damage. • Normally, concrete panels expand and contract with seasonal temperature change. Cracked panels are no different, but become increasingly damaged when moisture freezes and thaws in the existing cracks. Repairing or replacing cracked concrete panels helps keep drivers safe. • Repairing concrete reduces bumps and cracks, making for a safer, smoother ride. • Grinding the concrete creates more friction for vehicle tires, improving traction. Doing the work now saves money in the long term and helps reduce the need for emergency repairs.
The End Result
Crews will replace 277 of the worst concrete panels on this stretch of I-5 and grind all the lanes. The work will help prolong the life of the road and provide a safer, smooth ride for drivers.
Project Benefits
Improved Safety – replacing cracked concrete panels and grinding out cracks and bumps makes for a smoother, safer ride for drivers Extends the life of I-5 - reduces the need for emergency repairs, which are costly to taxpayers and can cause unwanted congestion during peak travel periods.
What is the project timeline?
Financial Information
Project signage will reflect the cost of construction engineering, project bid award and sales tax.
How can I get more information?

Executive Director Barbara Poppe at the National Alliance to End Homelessness Winter Conference in New Orleans, LA
In this speech, USICH Executive Director Barbara Poppe discusses USICH's accomplishments, the challenges ahead, and where we all need to focus our attention.
Thank you, Nan [Roman], for your kind remarks and your continued excellence in leading the Alliance.
It's an honor to precede Bryan Samuels, who was such a great partner at ACYF. I'm grateful for his leadership, which was critical for USICH to craft an interagency approach to youth homelessness, create the Youth Framework, and amend the Opening Doors plan to better address the needs of youth and young adults. We're delighted to continue our partnership in his new role at Chapin Hall.
It's also great to be among so many friends and allies in the work to address and end homelessness. You inspire and encourage me. Thank you!
One thing I've learned is that it is always a good idea to do what Nan suggests. So I'm going to do just that and focus my remarks on:
- The accomplishments of USICH in this Administration
- The challenges ahead, and
- Where we all need to focus our attention
Context of USICH and the Nation: 2009
As President Obama took office, I was very energized and looking forward to the possibilities of a new administration. Despite the difficult time we were experiencing in Columbus – with an escalating number of foreclosures, soaring unemployment, and an uncertain economy – I was still very hopeful that this administration could bring positive change.
I was ecstatic when Shaun Donovan was announced as the HUD Secretary. He was highly regarded and had always been committed to the expansion of affordable housing. He had a great track record of making permanent supportive housing a critical piece of New York City's work to end chronic homelessness.
When the President and Congress included HPRP in the Recovery Act, I think everyone in this room will agree that we knew this administration was going to mean business when it came to scaling up housing-focused solutions to homelessness.
I was also overjoyed when the HEARTH Act passed Congress after a 10 year battle that was largely advocates fighting amongst ourselves about the definition of homelessness.
The HEARTH Act signaled the promise of being able to work together across constituencies to modernize HUD's homelessness assistance programs—aligning them with the best practices and innovations that had been developed in communities across the country.
Little did I know in the early days of this administration, that my personal and family life would be changed forever. It's been quite the ride for someone with no prior government experience. It's probably a good thing that I didn't really know what I was getting into.
I joined USICH in November, 2009. Working on a six-month deadline, we sprinted to deliver a high-quality, comprehensive, and inclusive response to the congressional and presidential call for a Federal strategic plan to end homelessness.
2010 – Developing and Launching Opening Doors
Today, as in 2010, USICH is chaired by HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, and is comprised of 19 federal agencies with the purpose of coordinating the Federal response to homelessness.
Beginning in January 2010, USICH held regional stakeholder meetings, organized Federal working groups focused on specific populations, solicited public comment through an interactive website, and engaged experts from across the country to develop an action plan to solve homelessness for Veterans, adults, families, youth, and children.
All told, over 9,000 people participated in the development of the Plan. The breadth of ideas as well as the clarity and concurrence around key themes was remarkable.
On that historic day in June 2010 when Opening Doors was launched at the White House, I joined four Cabinet Secretaries to announce the first ever comprehensive Federal plan to end homelessness. In my opening remarks, I recalled President Obama who said that "it is simply unacceptable for individuals, children, families, and our nation's Veterans to be faced with homelessness in this country."
Onward to Implementation
Immediately following the launch of the Plan we tackled all 52 strategies within the Federal government, across our 19 agencies, and with partners across the country as well. (Jennifer Ho, now at HUD, and Anthony Love, now with the VA, were both deputy directors at USICH at that time. They are here today and can back me up on that).
We were, and still are, grateful to everyone in this room who has embraced the Plan and who has helped to execute the strategies of Opening Doors at the national, State, and local level.
That day at the White House, I set forth our intentions for execution of the Plan. Today, I ask you to assess whether we have achieved them.
I said then:
- "We need Federal leadership to highlight goals and timeframes".
- "This is not just a Federal issue. To meet these goals, States, local governments, and the private, non-profit, and philanthropic sectors must be part of the solution. "
- "There is not a one-size-fits-all plan. We recognize the importance of taking into account local conditions when applying this strategy at the local and State levels."
- "Local, State, and Federal governments cannot afford to invest in anything but the most evidence-based, cost-effective strategies."
- "We recognize that the best ideas to end homelessness are found outside of Washington."
I hope your reflection is that we have, together, been true to our intentions.
So what's been the impact?
Over the last three years (since the launch of Opening Doors), overall homelessness is down by six percent, family homelessness by eight percent, chronic homelessness by 16 percent, and homelessness among Veterans by 24 percent. These aren't just numbers; these represent real people's lives impacted by your collective action.
But beyond the numbers and the launch of the Plan, what's been the impact?
To help me prepare a thoughtful response to Nan's charge, I enlisted help from the collection of committed, talented, and resourceful individuals who are part of today's USICH team. The first question I posed was "beyond the launch of Opening Doors, what achievement by USICH has proved the most impactful during our administration? Several staff noted the overall shift in how mainstream programs and services are leveraged to create access for people experiencing homelessness, including:
- HUD's guidance to and the engagement of PHAs (where ending homelessness is increasingly becoming central rather than peripheral to their work),
- HHS' TANF guidance on rapid re-housing,
- Medicaid as a payer of services in permanent supportive housing, and,
- HUD's multifamily housing preference.
And this progress is not isolated to one program; the overall notion that mainstream programs should, and can, have a specialized focus on homelessness has become an accepted truth. Perhaps more internal to the Federal government is how we've transformed the way in which agencies work together and with external partners in trusting relationships.
By using participatory leadership practices to guide our work, frame and re-frame problems, and create effective strategies to combatting immediate and long-term issues, agencies are better able to collaborate with each other and consider solutions that before were out of reach. A good example is the newly released shared definition of rapid re- housing designed in a partnership with the Alliance, HUD, VA, and other Federal agencies.
Our mastery of data intelligence has advanced major federal policy shifts that played out at a community level in system change, program re-design, and budget reprioritization. Nowhere is this truer than the implementation of Housing First in the HUD-VASH program. In 2009, utilization rates and the time to lease-up vouchers were unacceptable to HUD, VA, and also to Congress.
Since then, VA has adopted a Housing First approach and joined forces with HUD, USICH, Community Solutions, and the Rapid Results Institute. The results are remarkable. Targeting of VASH to chronically homeless Veterans is up from less than half to nearly 70 percent of all admissions, with vulnerable families and single adults accounting for the balance.
VA medical centers working with PHAs and CoCs have increased utilization and reduced time from homelessness to housing stability.
Congress did its part and fully funded the VASH program in an era when examples of bipartisanship are difficult to point out.
Most impressive, as I noted, the number of Veterans counted as homeless during the annual PIT count has decreased by 24 percent over the last three years.
The second question I posed to my talented team was, "beyond the fiscal uncertainty of the Federal budget, what is the one challenge you worry the most about?"
Here's what I heard:
- I worry that success or failure of Opening Doors will be judged solely by whether people will continue to experience homelessness, ever, even if briefly.
- I worry that the larger accomplishment of transforming homeless services to a crisis response system that prevents homelessness, or rapidly returns people to stable housing, might be lost in the headlines.
- Another said: I worry that that rapid re-housing will not get traction and will not become institutionalized as standard practice due to ongoing resistance among local policy makers and provider agencies.
For me, personally, I worry that there will be a next generation of homeless youth if we don't have the courage to make the changes in policies and programs they need, and if we don't fight for the resources necessary to scale up the interventions specific to the needs of youth.
Finally, I worry that there will continue to be lack of bipartisan political support for a comprehensive national affordable housing policy, and that we won't stay united to fight for the affordable housing resources we need.
Nan's third question was, "What advice would you give the audience?"
- Keep the families, the youth, the Veterans, the single adults and couples at the center of your work. It's about them. It's not about you, your agency, or your ego.
- Look up and see the bigger picture, how can you join with others for better policy and more resources?
- K.I.S.S. – keep it simple. We won't win the hearts and minds of the American public, nor our elected leaders, if we can't tell the simple story of why and how it's possible to end homelessness.
- Change is hard. Change requires resilience. Resilience is about dynamic response. Let go of the status quo.
- YOLO – you only live once so make it count. Don't bicker over small things, join forces and make a big difference. And enjoy and support each other along the way.
Onward to the Next Chapter
Yesterday, Laura Zeilinger was announced as the next Executive Director of USICH.
Laura is the epitome of a dedicated and effective public servant. Her commitment to ending homelessness is absolute. And the urgency and focus to which she approaches each day, each task, and each opportunity to expand our work and make a difference in the lives of people who are looking for stability is so powerful you can't help but follow her.
Laura believes in partnership, collaboration, setting goals, and reaching them. Over the past three years Laura has helped USICH become a better partner, a better collaborator, and a better supporter of our communities and the work of the Council. I am proud of the work we've accomplished together.
She, along with the extremely talented USICH staff, is focused on working with you in the right way, on helping you reach your goal to end homelessness in your community and across this nation. She has a high expectation for the work of USICH—and for the work we'll do together.
Let's meet that expectation. Let's make my list of "worries" obsolete by acting together. In the words of my favorite modern prophet Bono, "there is no them –only us".
Onward! Together, we can make it possible for all of us to have a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Let's end homelessness.
Thank you.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) _ Merchants in Salina's Central Mall say they've seen little change in its operations in recent months, except where they send their rent checks.
But the mall is caught in the ripples from a criminal case in Virginia, in which federal prosecutors accuse a Miami man of defrauding investors of $132 million.
Investment Properties of America bought the mall in 2006. In March, a federal grand jury in Richmond, Va., indicted the company's owner, Edward Okun. The charges against Okun include multiple counts of money laundering and wire and mail fraud.
Okun turned over his assets, including the mall, to a federal bankruptcy trustee, who is trying to sell it.
The mall, with about 587,000 square feet, was built in 1987.

|Are orthoptic exercises an effective treatment for convergence and fusion deficiencies?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17162439 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: To investigate whether orthoptic exercises are an effective way to influence the near point of convergence, fusion range and asthenopic symptoms. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients met the inclusion criteria of visual acuity 6/9 or better, no history of orthoptic treatment, squint surgery or Meares Irlen syndrome/dyslexia. Information was collected from case records related to diagnosis, near point of convergence, fusion range, prism and cover test measurements and symptoms. Type, duration and frequency of exercises were also recorded. Non-parametric statistics were applied. RESULTS: Patients ranged in age from 5 to 73 years (mean 11.9). Females outnumbered males (46:32). The diagnoses were: decompensating heterophoria (n = 50) or convergence insufficiency (n = 28: primary 27; secondary 1). Exophoria was more common (n = 65), than esophoria (n = 11) or orthophoria (n = 1). Treatments were aimed at improving near point of convergence and/or reduced fusional reserves. The mean treatment period was 8.2 months. Reduced near point of convergence normalized following treatment in 47/55 cases, and mean near point of convergence improved from 16.6 to 8.4 cm (p = 0.0001). Fusional reserves normalized in 29/50. Fusional convergence improved significantly for those with exodeviation (p > 0.0006). Asthenopic symptoms improved in 65 patients. A reduction in deviation of 5 pd or more occurred in 20 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Orthoptic exercises are an effective means of reducing symptoms in patients with convergence insufficiency and decompensating exophoria, and appear to target the proximal and fusional components of convergence. Their role in esophoria is unclear and needs further study.

Partying with Prochlorococcus
Page 2 of 2
"Every fifth breath you take–thank Prochlorococcus for that oxygen," Chisholm says.
While Chisholm and Olson's 1988 paper didn't get much early notice, it did catch the attention of Washington Post science writer Boyce Rensberger, who wrote an item on it that August. A decade later, Rensberger and Chisholm would become MIT colleagues when he was appointed director of the Knight Science Journalism Fellowships program. As Rensberger packed up his MIT desk in preparation for retirement at the end of June, he chuckled when he recalled the 20-year-old news brief. "The claim was, it was possibly the most abundant organism on earth," he says. "Reporters–especially science reporters–love superlatives. The most, the biggest, the farthest, the oldest."
For the dozens of scientists gathered at Prochlorococcusfest, the 20 years since the discovery have been productive. And the researchers proved that they know how to party. After dinner, Shapiro led the crowd in the Prochlorococcus Anniversary Song, encoring with the global-warming ditty "Santa Claus Is Going to Drown." Emcee Luke Thompson, one of Chisholm's grad students, tossed out stuffed plush microbes, prompting quibbles about whether it was accurate of the toy company to call Biddulphia "scum." Many Prochlorococktails–which looked suspiciously like margaritas–were downed.
After 20 years studying Prochlorococcus, Chisholm isn't flagging. "I really am passionate about our field," she says. "It's gotten incredibly exciting."

2009 Cayuga Forum–Blog & Wiki Workshop
Rationale for using Web 2.0–In the humanities, Classical Greece gets a lot of attention. Western civilization leapt forward democratically and culturally in part because writing interacted with speaking to produce new ideas and fuel debates. Plato favored speaking and doubted writing much like some people treasure books and paper but doubt webtexts today. But just as writing interacting with oral language produced some of Western culture's greatest thinking, web-network communication like Blogs and Wikis may be pushing us toward a new explosion of knowledge. Since many students are not digital natives to technology, they need opportunities to immigrate that we can provide as they learn course content.
2009 Full-time Faculty Survey (excludes English) on Writing Expected at Cayuga
Class Management (one-to-many)–The most familiar way to use a blog is similar to a classroom lecture or a syllabus where the teacher communicates unidirectionally with his or her students.
- Have your students forgotten the titles of the required books or lost the course syllabus?
- Share media and encourage tangential learning–Don's Psych blog as an example.
Engage Web 2.0 & Many-to-Many Communication Networks–here, we may not be able to compete with the interactivity of social networking, but we can…
- Encourage interactivity and student expression beyond the classroom.
- Collaborate in groups.
- Use student material for discussions.
Audience Questions? (Ask yourself, what would you like to do with Web 2.0 tech?)

MEC Design amps up Ferrari's 458Comment on this story
By: IOL Motoring Staff
Berlin, Germany - For those of us who feel that a Ferrari 458 simply isn't exclusive enough, MEC Design of Berlin - best known for a series of outrageous styling exercises based on Mercedes-Benz AMG offerings - has come up with a body kit for Ferrari's iconic mid-engined supercar it calls 'Scossa Rossa'.
That literally means 'shaken red' but in Italian, 'scossa' can also mean shocked, in the electrical sense
You decide. The kit includes a three-piece front lip spoiler, spoiler corners or 'winglets' for the air intake, side skirts and side-skirt extensions, and a three-piece rear diffuser with underride protection.
The body components are available separately, or as a kit for €6900 (R98 500).
The demo car is fitted with 21" meCCon CCd5 rims in gloss black with matt-black centre and Ferrari Yellow bolts, shod with 245mm front and 345mm rear tyres, but MEC is able to supply a variety of custom rims ranging from 20-22".
The Berlin Blingmeister can also do a suspension kit that lowers the 458's ride height by as much as 60mm, a sports 'auspuff' ominously labeled 'Apocalypse', matt black tailpipe tips, matt black wrap for the front bumper wings and inner sections, blacked-out indicator lenses and all-black door-lock covers and badging.
Bespoke carbon-fibre interior trim includes a CF/leather trimmed steering wheel, a six-piece fascia trim, a three-piece centre console (including air outlet), four-piece inner door panels, an LED interior lighting kit, two-tone Ferrari sill plates and, of course, special MEC-branded floor mats.

We want you to send us photographs of the world's Other Hundred Entrepreneurs – portraits that capture the infinite variety of ways in which people venture out on their own to create their own livelihoods. We're not looking for conventional success stories, but rather images that show just how entrepreneurial people can be when it comes to taking control of their lives.
Submissions may be a single photograph or a series of up to 10 photographs accompanied by 250-500 words to telling the subject's story. There is no limit to the number of entries per person. All submissions are free. Our jury, featuring Ruth Eichhorn and Yumi Goto, will select 100 winners from the submissions.
Past participants of The Other Hundred include such award-winning photographers as Ami Vitale, Reza, Tomas Munita, Edwin Koo, and Franco Pagetti. The first edition of The Other Hundred has been featured in over 110 media outlets, including CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera, The Guardian, Forbes, and NHK. Photographs from the winning 100 stories were exhibited at both Pacific Place and Asia Society in Hong Kong with additional events to follow in New York, Berlin, Beijing, Singapore, and the UAE in 2014.
The Other Hundred is a unique photo-book project aimed as a counterpoint to the Forbes 100 and other media rich lists by telling the stories of people around the world who are not rich but who deserve to be celebrated.
Its 100 photo-stories move beyond the stereotypes and clichés that fill so much of the world's media to explore the lives of people whose aspirations and achievements are at least as noteworthy as any member of the world's richest 1,000.
A not-for-profit project, The Other Hundred was conceived by Chandran Nair, Founder and CEO of the Global Institute For Tomorrow, an independent Hong Kong based think tank providing content-rich and intellectually challenging executive education from an Asian worldview. "The goal of The Other Hundred is both to inform and to provoke thought," says Nair. "The implication of many of the rich lists and articles put out by the media is that being rich is the only way to succeed or live a life of meaning. The reality is that the majority of the people in the world are not rich and we wanted to tell their side of the story."
Contest Prize & TERMS
2nd Place: US$2,000
3rd Place: US$1,000
All other winners will receive a US$300 honorarium.
All winners will receive a complimentary copy of The Other Hundred Entrepreneurs.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to All Not eligible to enter? - Find contest where you are.
COPYRIGHT: The Other Hundred will respect and cite author copyright information. When the participant submits photographs to The Other Hundred, the participant remains the copyright owner of the photographs the participant submits to The Other Hundred and The Other Hundred does not claim ownership of photographs the participant submits to The Other Hundred.
USAGE RIGHTS: By submitting to The Other Hundred, you grant permission to The Other Hundred to use your submitted photographs in exhibitions, in publications, and in promotional materials, and for educational, research, and historical record purposes concerning The Other Hundred, without any remuneration being due. This usage includes, but is not limited to, slides/tapes, television film/tapes, videodisc, DVDs, CDs, websites, and any other type of mechanical, electronic, or digital dissemination systems.

Turkestan, or Turkistan, a large, indefinite region in Central Asia. It extends eastward from the Caspian Sea through Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and southern Kazakhstan into Xinjiang in China. A small part of the region lies in northeastern Afghanistan. Turkestan covers some 1,600,000 square miles (4,100,000 km2).
The western part of Turkestan is made up largely of deserts, such as the Kara Kum and the Kyzyl Kum. The central portion of Turkestan contains steppes and deserts in the north and high mountains, including the Pamirs and part of the Tien Shan, in the south. Chinese Turkestan, in the eastern part of the region, includes the Tarim and Junggar basins and most of the Tien Shan.
Except in the mountains, where the climate varies with elevation, Turkestan is extremely dry and has hot summers and cool to severely cold winters. Settlement is based primarily on farming and is restricted to valleys where water from the mountains is available. Nomadic herding is still practiced in all but the driest areas.
In ancient times Turkestan was inhabited by Indo-European peoples, including the nomadic Scythians who roamed the northern steppes. The trade route known as the Silk Road, which connected China and the Mediterranean world, passed through Turkestan. From China it skirted the Tarim Basin to Kashgar or Yarkand on the east side of the Pamirs, then to Marakanda (Samarkand), Bukhara, Margiana (Merv, or Mary), or Bactra (Balkh) on the west side. Most of the goods were carried over the mountains by the Sogdians, whose country was between the Oxus River (Amu Darya) and Jaxartes River (Syr Darya) at the foot of the Pamirs. The Sogdiana region as a whole was known as Transoxiania ("across the Oxus").
Transoxiania was annexed to the Persian Empire in the sixth century B.C. Alexander the Great conquered it in the fourth century B.C., but Persian rule was soon reestablished. In the second century B.C. China gained control of the northern rim of the Tarim Basin and extended the Great Wall toward it.
During the early Middle Ages various Mongolian peoples moved westward across northern Turkestan—first the Huns, who appeared in Europe in the fourth century, and then the Avars and the Bulgars. The Scythians, scattered and assimilated, disappeared. The Mongolian Turks began settling in Turkestan.
Turkestan was the meeting place of the Muslim Arabs, who had conquered Persia in the seventh century, and the Chinese, who extended their sovereignty far westward under the Tang dynasty. In a battle fought in 751 at the Talas River, northeast of Tashkent, the Chinese were overwhelmingly defeated, and their power rapidly declined in Central Asia. During the next century the Turks gained control of eastern Turkestan.
In the ninth century western Turkestan became the domain of the Muslim Persian Samanids, who made Bukhara (their capital) a rival of Baghdad in beauty and culture. Control of the region fell to the Turks in 999, and the native peoples were gradually absorbed by them.
The Mongols of Genghis Khan conquered all of Central Asia during 1219–20, and Turkestan became part of the Mongol Empire. The order maintained by the Mongols made it possible for Marco Polo to travel over the old Silk Road to China in the 1270's, and the resulting commerce flourished for several centuries.
As the Mongol Empire began to break up in the 14th century, Tamerlane seized power in the west. Under his heirs, however, his empire shrank to the Bukhara-Samarkand region, and in the early 16th century it disappeared. Turkestan was split between a number of warring Turkish principalities. The Silk Road became too dangerous to use; Anthony Jenkinson, an English trader, in 1558 could go no farther east than Bukhara. Sea routes to the Far East had been found, however, and Central Asia was no longer important to the Western world.
In the mid-18th century Russia expanded into northwestern Turkestan, and China began subjugating the southeastern region. Russia's final territorial advances occurred in the latter half of the 19th century. In 1922 the western and central portions of Turkestan became part of the Soviet Union. Soviet Turkestan was made up of the Uzbek, Turkmen, Tajik, Kyrgyz, and part of the Kazakh soviet socialist republics. In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, these republics became independent.

this is the second time this week i got a blowjob from a crying girl.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
No means no.
Dude, if she's crying, it probably means she's not into it. What you did was possibly sexual assault.
Go for the hat trick!!
Why was it that small lol jk
do tears make good lube?
Youre obviously doing something wrong, or very very right.
Girl who are crying often try to go that route actually, "do me cause I'm upset".Real men turn them down though. My EX tried to force herself on me after her dads funeral. Complete manhood fail. I am pulling his man card.
Handguns are useful
ben, is that you? ben roethlisberger?!
Wow.... doing something very, very wrong, dude.
U must be so proud.
Fuck that. That's awesome. It's better when the tears are rolling.
her eyes tear because keeping her mouth open for long periods makes the muscles out pressure on her sinus' and tear ducts.
Well that's a little akward bud.. Way to handle it!
Whatever it takes. Well done.

Here's something I just came across: Martha Stewart American Made. It looks like a contest for entreprenuers who produce American made products.
I just started looking at the nominees--there are 153 pages--and some of them are sewing related in the products they produce and there is at least one sewing lounge I've seen so far.
Anyhoo....just interesting...thought someone else might want to take a look.
Enjoy. -- Edited on 8/28/13 10:43 PM --
I saw on the Colette FB page that they've surpassed 10,000 votes for the contest already!

My Measurements: 36 HB | 39.5 FB | 34 W | 44 Hip
I really like this. I don't live in the U.S., but I think it's important for all countries to keep making products and supporting their local craftspeople. We've gotten so dependent on artificially inexpensive imports, sometimes I worry that people in Western countries will forget the art of making things.

The premise of the contest is great! I'm wholeheartedly in favor of it. The contest voting website is sh**. It hangs, blanks out, is missing icons at times, won't let me sort to find the company I want to vote fore, and therefore the business I wanted to vote for the past three days lost 18 votes because of website issues. The website admin has admitted to high volume traffic causing the problem, but it has hampered the voting process. The outcome, imo, will be tainted because of this. It's a shame that my favorite food company couldn't get my 18 votes from the past three days, and it's questionable if I'll be able to vote today or in the future. At first I tried in 3 different browsers thinking it was a software issue on my end, but it's not. My food company checked with the voting website, and problems with high traffic volume were acknowledged.

If you think your sewing is better than everyone else's around here, get out of my way b****. I hate sewing snobs.
My blog: www.phatchickdesigns.blogspot.com
I also am concerned that the art of making things built well could be forgotten in another generation. Sure there are some small companies making things, but most of the larger things are from China. This is so sad. I look for American Made if I can find it.
The idea of the contest is a great one and I hope they fix the website so many others can vote. I have not tried it myself.

Thank you. I'm a marketing professional (sadly in layoff mode right now) and I admire clever marleting but this seems so transparent (to me). It's up there (in my mind) with WalMart's green product schtick a few years ago (please don't look at the fact we're assaulting the planet otherwise by compelling vendors to produce in places without environmental restrictions to drive down manufacturing costs) or American Express's Small Business Day promo around holiday season (we'll give you a $25 credit for shopping small businesses that day and using your card, we can afford to since we charge them so much more than other cc's so the very enterprise we're trying to make you think we want you to help is actually making less by doing this than if you simply patronized them and paid cash/check (or even visa/mc)just to - help them).
Ok we now switch from this rant about poorly veiled corporate hypocrisy back to the sewing machine and Law&Order marathon....

Something you might not know about the 2013 St. Paul Winter Carnival Vulcan Krewe: They apply their own makeup.
They also share cough drops, straighten each other's goggles and warn when trucks are passing too close as they hang off the back of Luverne, their 1932 fire engine and "royal chariot."
They also do their damnedest to shake the Vulcans' reputation for drunken debauchery.
"Somebody's got to realize what actually happens out here: It's not drinking; it's not womanizing. It's making people smile," said Vulcanus Rex the 76th, the leader of this year's Vulcan Krewe.
That's why the Fire King insisted on having a reporter, draped like the Vulcans in a red running suit, ride along with the Krewe for a day -- in hopes of highlighting the fun. In keeping with Winter Carnival tradition, the identities of the Vulcans are kept secret until the end of the carnival.
Vulcanus Rex, a postal employee in the real world, bristles when talking about how the Vulcans' deeds, including fundraising for veterans' groups and schools, are overshadowed by well-publicized behavior lapses in the past.
"I'm going to do something about that as long as I'm with the Vulcans," he said. "For me, it'll probably be my whole life."
The day starts at 8 a.m. in the Kelly Inn off Rice Street in St. Paul, where the Krewe stays throughout 11-day carnival. The eight members -- Vulcanus, Baron Hot Sparkus, Grand Duke Fertilious, the Count of Ashes, Count Embrious, the Duke of Klinker, General Flameous and the Prince of Soot -- have massed in the "den," a suite that serves as the group's war room.
"No matter what the public sees, there's all of this tradition," Vulcanus said of the display. "It's really amazing how far back this goes."
After making sure goggles are down and there's no hair sticking out of their skull caps, the Krewe moves in formation to the lobby.
"Secure the doors," General Flameous said -- for the first time of many that day -- and the Krewe flanks Vulcanus as he walks outside past staring guests.
The Vulcans flank him again as he rides shotgun on Luverne. Then they take their places on the runners of the truck, clutching leather straps and metal rails.
First stop, breakfast at Joseph's on the West Side, where St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith stops by the table.
"All hail the Vulcs," he said.
Vulcanus then hands over one of his private coins, emblazoned with a red-and-black dragon head.
"That's going to go right on my desk," Smith said.
Over pancakes and omelets, the Krewe talks about the stops they will be making -- 3M, a preschool and a couple of senior homes -- and how the organization's black marks affected their decisions to sign up.
"It says something about the guys," said Embrious. "They want to apply in spite of it."
"We're all professional men. Three of us are in law enforcement. In our jobs, we take care of people. Why would we get involved in something that would ruin our professional lives?" Vulcanus added.
On the way to 3M in Maplewood, cars honk and drivers make the "V" sign. Some record the spectacle on their smartphones.
The Krewe fake rumbles with the Winter Carnival Royal Family -- Boreas Rex and his brood -- in a 3M atrium and then both families knight employees.
The Krewe then takes a run over to Oakland Cemetery in the North End -- where the Col. Monfort is buried -- to knight general manager Bob Schoenrock for looking after one of their own.
They head to the Monfort family plot for a photo and then hop back on Luverne for lunch -- double cheeseburgers and soda -- at Culver's in Maplewood.
Vulcanus said he gave the Krewe a talk the first Friday of carnival, instructing them on Vulcan etiquette -- nobody sits until he sits; nobody eats until he eats -- and on the prevalence of smartphones in the community.
"Everybody's got one," he said. When the Krewe is out in the community, he said, "act like an adult."
At St. Paul's Childhood Center on Summitt Avenue, a hand-drawn sign greets the Krewe: "All Hail the Vulcs!" The preschoolers have been learning about the Winter Carnival legend, the battle between winter-loving Boreas and summer-loving Vulcanus, and each has been given a Vulcan identity before the visit.
"They were really excited," staffer Les Decloux said. "One kid couldn't sleep and slept with little goggles on his face and everything."
"Don't leave us," one student said as the Krewe prepared to leave. "I want to play a while."
At a Maplewood senior residence, a woman named Marion waits outside, en route to a doctor's appointment. It's her birthday.
"You do good work, guys," she said. "You're good guys. My brother-in-law was a Vulcan."
"How ya doin, hon?" Vulcanus said as he gave her a hug.
"Good, good. Where's the girl who was going to take our picture?" she asked.
The Krewe surrounds her, and the birthday girl's grin grows.
"Well, I'll be dipped," the woman remarked.
Later, Vulcanus said that's the type of reaction he hopes his Krewe -- and all of the Krewes that follow -- get from the community.
"It brings back their childhood," he said. "It brings back that day when the Vulcans came up and smeared them on the cheek."

Photos: "The Prison Project"Juxtapoz // Friday, 22 Feb 2008
A model motorcycle made of small and delicate animal bones. Eight-foot lead scrolls relinquishing you of your rights. Massive amounts of thread meticulously intertwined. These are some of the works on display for The Prison Project, which opened Wednesday, February 20 at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco. The show features work by inmates incarcerated in the California Prison system as well as artists on the outside and aims to give insight into how imprisonment affects us all.
The urge to communicate and the choices in style and technique are as much a struggle for the incarcerated artists as those on the outside, which proves it's tough to polarize: what is art? What is criminal? One artist, William Noguera, mixes his blood in with the ink he uses, so that a part of him goes free. Sara Thustra's bright and striking "portraits" depict geometric shapes and symbols to tell his story. And then there's Robert Stansbury's odd and idiosyncratic little paintings: a seascape, a campfire, a pheasant in a field, that give us a glimpse of what he calls his fight between his conscious mind and subconscious.
Facts and pamphlets are displayed around the gallery to enlighten visitors and encourage dialogue. Featured artists include Arthur Huang & Sonia McKenna, Richard Kamler, Mabel Negrete, William Noguera, Plain Human, Robert Stansbury, Sara Thustra, Kelly Beile & Emily Wright and work from a number of organizations, including The Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival, The AOUON Archive, Mutual Aid Pen Pal Project, The Imagine Bus Project, San Francisco Art Institute City Studio, San Quentin's Arts-in-Corrections Program, and The William James Association.
This exhibit is part of Intersection for the Arts' larger effort to contextualize the criminal justice system through various art events. The show runs until March 29. More information can be found at www.theintersection.org.

|Magnets, children and the bowel: a dangerous attraction?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23082048 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Reports of magnet ingestion are increasing rapidly globally. However, multiple magnet ingestion, the subsequent potential complications and the importance of the early identification and proper management remain both under-recognized and underestimated. Published literature on such cases could possibly represent only the tip of an iceberg with press reports, web blogs and government documents highlighting further occurrence of many more such incidents. The increasing number of complications worldwide being reported secondary to magnet ingestion point not only to an acute lack of awareness about this condition among the medical profession but also among parents and carers who will be in most cases the first to pick up on magnet ingestion. There still seems to be no consensus on the management of magnet ingestion with several algorithms being proposed for management. Prevention of this condition remains a much better option than cure. Proper education and improved awareness among parents and carers and frontline medical staff is key in addressing this rapidly emerging problem. The goal of managing such cases of suspected magnet ingestion should be aimed at reducing delays between ingestion time, diagnosis time and intervention time.

My Body Needs This
Natural Sources Raw Multiple, 60 Capsules review posted by Lisa C on 6/12/12
I learned that my body needs glandulars to function well. I can only eat so much liver and other organ meat is hard to come by fresh anyway, so this is a really great way for me to get glandulars. When I take this product, my energy increases--a sign that my body is getting nutrients it needs.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
A Million Ways to Die in the West feels like about 80 minutes of material was padded out to 110 minutes.James Berardinelli, ReelViews, 06.01.2014
Despite all the costumes, stunt work, and locations in Monument Valley, this big-budget western spoof by Seth MacFarlane is too glib to live up to its potential.J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader, 05.30.2014
This movie feels like it has a million jokes, and every single one arrives with a lethal thud.Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer, 05.29.2014
The one person who gets the balance right, weighing parody and homage, is the composer, Joel McNeely, whose opening theme stirs hopes and memories that the movie cannot match.Anthony Lane, New Yorker, 06.15.2014

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
FOXBOROUGH — Rob Gronkowski might make the trip to Buffalo, but it's not likely that the Patriots tight end will play in Sunday's season opener against the Bills.
Gronkowski was officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Although he practiced all week, he was limited in his availability, including Friday.
Receiver Danny Amendola, who had also been limited Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury, participated fully in Friday's practice and was listed as probable.
Offensive lineman Will Svitek was ruled out with a knee injury; he did not practice this week. The other four Patriots on the injury report are all questionable: receiver Aaron Dobson (hamstring), running back Brandon Bolden (knee), and defensive backs Nate Ebner (foot) and Duron Harmon (hamstring).

Sunday September 28, 2008Gators in fifth place after day one of PING/Golfweek Preview Invitational
Toledo, OH
Toledo, OH
Gators shot a 291 (+7) and sit alone in fifth place after day one of the
PING/Golfweek Preview Invitational in
Echavarria played solid throughout the entire round, sinking three birdies and no bogeys. He sank a birdie to start the round on hole 10 and followed up two holes later on 13 with another birdie. His final birdie came at No. 3 and put him at three-under for the round. His 68 was three strokes better than his previous personal best of 71 (+1) at the 2007 Gator Invitational.
Teeing off on No. 10, junior Tyson Alexander (Gainesville, Fla.) struggled out of the gate with double-bogeys on Nos. 12 and 17 and finished the back nine at two-over par. He played the front nine holes at even-par to finish the round at two-over 73. Alexander is tied for 25th going in to the second round.
Senior Toby Ragland (Jacksonville, Fla.) shot a three-over par 74 in the opening round and sits in a tie for 30th. Ragland had four birdies in his round. Senior Billy Horschel (Grant, Fla.) had six bogeys on the day and only one birdie to finish at five-over par 76. Horschel is in a tie for 44th after day one.
I was really proud of Andres today, said head coach Buddy Alexander. He played a bogey free round just good, solid golf all day long. We need some guys to step up other than Billy and Andres did that today. Billy got off to a slow start for the second tournament in a row but hes a tough guy and I know hell bounce back tomorrow.
Freshman Mu Hu (Shen Zhen, China), making his collegiate debut for the Gators, scattered three birdies in his round but it wasnt enough as he came in to the clubhouse at seven-over 78. Hu is in a tie for 63rd after the first round.
State leads the field after the first round shooting an impressive 282 (-2).

The Blue Springs South baseball team continued its impressive start to the season Saturday despite tallying just two hits.
The Blue Springs South baseball team continued its impressive start to the season Saturday despite tallying just two hits.
The Jaguars downed Lafayette-Wildwood 1-0 in the Sedalia Smith-Cotton Tournament as Austin Nordike tossed a complete-game four-hitter and Dominic DeFeo singled in Reece Eddins with the game's only run in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Eddins reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball.
That set the stage for DeFeo's heroics.
"It was a great job by the guys and a great job by Austin," South coach Ben Baier said. "He had seven really solid innings."
South went 3-1 in the tournament to improve to 6-1 overall.
JEFFERSON CITY 8, BLUE SPRINGS 2: Jefferson City used a five-run seventh inning to clinch the Capitol City Classic victory Saturday.
Zach Robinson singled twice, Corbin Hare doubled and tripled and David Stober doubled to lead the Wildcats (4-4).
"We have to put that (tournament) behind us," said Wildcats coach Marc Hines, whose team went 2-2 in the tournament. "We have a big week coming up."
ROCKWOOD SUMMIT 15, OAK GROVE 3: A 3-0 Oak Grove lead lasted only one inning Saturday.
Rockwood Summit, the defending large-class state champion, scored six runs in the top of the second inning and went on to defeat the Panthers in the Sedalia Smith-Cotton Tournament.
Oak Grove finished 1-3 in the tournament to fall to 6-4 overall.
Corey Bolin doubled in two of the Oak Grove runs. The Panthers were held to three hits.
"This was our fifth game in five days and we are proud of the way the kids battled through the week," Oak Grove coach Kirk Sears said. "Three of our losses were to Class 5 teams. We were able to learn a lot about our team as well as get a lot of guys some time on the field in some really tough situations. The tournament will only make us better."
Austin Nibarger took the loss on the mound.

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Friday, November 27, 2015
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: American production executive and producer Jesse Lasky was the founder of the Jesse Lasky Feature Play Company which later merged with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players to form the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, one of the major studios of the silent era. Lasky did many interesting things before joining the film industry. He started out as a reporter then made failed plans to join the Alaska Gold Rush. Lasky, a talented musician, then went to work as a bandleader in Hawaii. Upon his return to the States, he and his sister Blanche formed a team and played coronet in vaudeville; this lead to his becoming a promoter of vaudeville.

We reported of the PwnageTool 4.1 coming for the Macs to jailbreak Apple TV 2G and the iPhone 4 earlier last week. Guess what, the dev team did release the jailbreak tool to enable users to zip a custom firmware on the second generation of the Apple TV.
From the official site, it is mentioned clearly that this jailbreak is very new on the Apple TV and users wont be able to do much except utilize the command line methodology using the SSH. Other than that they have also inducted the afc2 that would enable you to make use of utilities like ifunbox to move files across on the device. Given this is just the beginning, I bet the developers of the jailbreak community will be in full swing to figure out how else can they utilize the JB and do something beyond command line on the device.
Anyways, since the jailbreak is out, we are here to share the steps on how to jailbreak your Apple TV on the iOS 4.1. You can follow the instructions below:
1. Download the current version of iTunes.
2. Download the genuine iOS 4.1 for the Apple TV 2G as well as the PwnageTool 4.1 [download iOS 4.1, PwnageTool 4.1]
3. Run PwnageTool and when the window opens, select the Apple TV 2G.
4. The PwnageTool will auto detect the firmware of your device and you will have to click YES when the following message appears on your screen:
We will now create an .ispw file that will help you restore your iPad, Apple TV 2G with iTunes…
5. The .ispw file will now be created
6. You will then have to enter the DFU mode. This will be done by connecting your Apple TV to your computer using the microUSB. With that done, restart your Apple TV ensuring that you hold the Menu and Down button for approximately 6 seconds. On reboot instantly press the Menu and Play button.
7. Restore your Apple TV on this new firmware file, start iTunes and click the icon on your iTunes. Whilst holding the shift button [alt for Mac] on your keyboard select Restore and let go of the shit key. This step would then require you to point the location of the custom firmware 4.1 file . With the .ispw file located hit Open.
That's it! With all those steps done, your computer will take charge and a few further steps will be performed while the iTunes installs the firmware 4.1 on Apple TV 2G. Upon completion your device will restart, only being jailbroken and with a rooted access on the iOS 4.1.
Don't have an Apple TV 2G? Interested in jailbreaking other iOS devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad? You can visit the following links:

Jamie Fly, writing at National Review Online:
As House Republicans debate whether to support the Boehner debt-limit package, one key issue is getting overlooked in the debate: Unlike the alternatives presented by Democrats and bipartisan commissions, the Boehner plan avoids significant defense cuts, making it the best option for conservatives concerned about U.S. national security....
National-security conservatives should rally behind the Boehner plan. By focusing on the real drivers of our deficit, Speaker Boehner's plan ensures that Republicans will remain the party that strengthens, not weakens, our national security.

Rangers' Game 7 Win Is Team's Most-Watched MSG Game Since 1994
The New York Rangers' victory against the Ottawa Senators last night in the decisive seventh game of their first-round playoff series was the team's highest-rated game on an MSG Network in 18 years.
The 2-1 victory, which earned New York a spot in the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs, was seen on MSG by 424,000 households, roughly 5.7 percent of the New York television market, the network said today in an e-mailed release citing Nielsen Media Research. It's the most-watched Rangers game on MSG since the team's defeat of the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup finals, New York's most recent league title, which drew a 16.18 rating.
The New Jersey Devils, who clinched a spot in the postseason's second round with a Game 7 victory against the Florida Panthers last night on MSG+, drew their highest rating on an MSG network in more than a decade, the release said. The Devils' 3-2 double-overtime victory was watched by 1.7 percent of the New York television market (126,000 households), most since the team drew a 2.39 rating during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2001.
The seven-game series between the Rangers and Senators averaged a 3.84 rating, up 59 percent from the first round of the 2009 playoffs, when the Washington Capitals eliminated the Rangers in seven games, according to the statement.
