This is a dress I made as a final project in my Advanced Decorating and Candies class. I am lucky enough to have had Chef Linda Shonk as my teacher. It is made from Sugarveil. I handcarved the stand from wood and there is styrofoam dressform under the sugarveil dress.

Very little can rival the splendor and the absolute magnetism of the diamond. Yet centuries before the discovery of the diamond the pearl reigned supreme. Often thought to be the world's first gem, the pearl has been referred to as the "Queen of Gems" with unrivaled beauty and resplendence.
Edwardian in style and manner, the luxuriously long opera length strand features two hundred and twelve (212) natural saltwater pearls – so lengthy that the strand easily can be worn doubled. An unbelievable find as natural pearls, due to excessive harvesting in the late 1800s have virtually disappeared from the market.
Strung graduated in size from 5.75 mm to 2.17 mm, the pearls are cream in color with hints of pink and green and display a wondrous translucency and great luster. The strand is secured with an open work platinum tongue and groove clasp ornamented with three (3) old European cut diamonds of a total estimated diamond weight of .20 carats, eighteen (18) rose cut accent diamonds and a mix of natural and synthetic sapphires.
Comes with a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certificate.
Date: Circa 1910.

Dream Girls: Special Assignment 23
Release date: 6/24/2003
Reviewed on: 5/17/2004
Dream Girls
Review brief:
Show me your thong! This is the best up skirt video ever! Hey, Im not trying to sound too biased. But this is easily the best upskirt video Ive ever seen! The scenery is bright and colorful. The girls are young and enthusiastic. Theres even a fun Mardi Gras segment where the guy off-camera yells, Show me your thong! and the girls comply just as they would in a Girls Gone Wild! episode. The young ladies out partying then hike their skirts, bend over at the waist, or drop their shorts to teasingly reveal their colorful thongs! Several pull aside their panties to make the sight even nicer! And some even doff their thongs entirely to give us many satisfying frontal, from-the-rear, and between-their-legs views of their beautifully naked twats underneath their skirts, of course! Theres some totally candid upskirt footage of really gorgeous women being followed around Las Vegas.

Up & Under Her Skirt 19
Release date: 9/17/2003
Reviewed on: 3/12/2004
Starring: Gabriella, Angela D'Angelo, Cumisha Amado, Dana, Jazzmine Rose
Review brief:
One of lifes simple pleasures! Hey, Ill admit it! I bought this movie recently and I actually kind of liked it! The video quality isnt great. And the footage isnt very explicit. But theres something undeniably appealing about being able to look up some babes skirt at length until your hearts content! The candid shots up the girls dresses appear to be real and not staged. Some of the views are brief, and the girls dont assist by holding their skirts open or by bending over. (Shucks!) But some of the segments are quite lengthy. And more than a few of the women are wearing thongs, which makes it look when their thighs are pressed together as though they are completely NAKED underneath their skirts! (Cool!) Since a womans dress billows more in the back (due to the curve of her ass), most of the views are of butts rather than twats.

Crew, Suzie Sweet, Stefania Guerritore, Kalama
Review brief:
Fucking, sucking and swallowing! But mainly swallowing! I love watching cumshot compilation videos, and for good reason. After all, what could be more loving than to witness dozens of gorgeous babes catching and swallowing their mans delicious seed? And if we get to enjoy their last bit of sucking and fucking before hand as we do in this movie then that would be even better! Cumshot videos also work well for me because nothing gets my pencil stiffer, faster! And this issue in Anabolics Cumshots series is fantastic! The girls are cute, and the cum swallowing is both wholesome and complete. I could only watch a few scenes at a time, in fact, before wham! and Id have to move on. It took me literally weeks to completely watch this entire video the cumshots were so good! My last reason for loving cumshot videos is purely aspirational. I guess Id like to believe that all girls will someday perform this most loving of acts for their men.

Thursday Night Video
Review brief:
Some of the best girl/girl from a little studio down in Austin, Texas! For those of you who love your girl/girl warm and sensuous, theres this little studio down in Austin, Texas that makes some of the best! Its called Thursday Night Video, and they put out some of the most luscious girl-only films youre sure to find anywhere. TNV is run by a guy named George. And George must spend his entire existence bar-hopping on Thursday night, which is an Austin tradition, hence the studios name. I dont know how he does it, but he manages to find some of the cutest just-out-of-high-school co-eds all of whom look more wholesome and less made-up than anything else youll find in porn. And how he gets them to go to bed with one another is beyond me.

Assman 22
Release date: 8/15/2003
Reviewed on: 9/21/2003
Starring: David Perry, Steve Holmes, Jean-Yves Le Castel, Vivienne Laroche, Titus, Christine Nature, Patricia Diamond
Directed by: Jean-Yves Le Castel
Review brief:
Anal fucking and oral sucking, cum catching and sharing in that order! Love it! For many years, I thought that the nastiest thing a girl could do with her mouth was to kiss another girl and eat her pussy! But I soon found that wasnt true when I discovered delicious ass-to-mouth action, where a cute babe sucks on a cock after it has fucked her in the ass! Anal-to-oral action, in fact, helped to rekindle my interest in watching boy/girl sex. And if the girl catches her mans cum in her mouth and then kisses with her girlfriend passionately afterwards to share it then Im truly in seventh heaven! A great way to enjoy all-of-the-above is Anabolics Assman #22 from France. The director, Jean-Yves Le Castel, brings us some of the nastiest, most explicitly beautiful anal sex Ive ever seen. But its his two-girl kissing and cum sharing finishes which make his films truly romantic. To be quite honest, fucking a girl in her ass is something I really hadnt aspired to do before.

Zero Tolerance
Directed by: Greg Alves
Review brief:
Cum Swapping Blow Jobs! For those of you whove read my reviews elsewhere, you know that I adore truly romantic girl/girl sex. But my taste in porn is actually much broader. I also love boy/girl action, especially when the babe uses her luscious mouth to suck and deep throat her guys cock and then swallow her mans delicious cum! Given that, I found this video to be quite enjoyable. In it, seven pairs of beautiful girls give head and then share their dudes cum between themselves at the end of every scene. The second girl of the pair always lies on her back and waits patiently as her partner harvests it. The first girl then drips or spits the cum into the second girls mouth and sometimes even tongue kisses with her afterwards as a means of romantically sharing her mans creamy flavor with her friend! The girls in the first half of the video are the cutest and the most nicely breasted. But the babes in the second half arent visual slouches by any means, either.

Gonza: Wanna Be A Porn Star?

Passion Fruit
Review brief:
Can Four Lesbians Make Boy/Girl Porn? What happens when four women (Southern lesbians, at that) decide to make their own boy/girl porn movie? Well, Gonza: Wanna Be A Porn Star? is the result. As background, I had seen Passion Fruit Videos production of Home Cookin before and loved it. Think of Benny Hill (the late British comedian) going down South to Texas and making a girl/girl video and youll get the idea. The movie was hilarious! The sex among women only was hot! And the main characters, played by the gorgeous actress Maitresse Elise (a blonde) and Katharine MacGregor (a buxom brunette) really looked great with arms, legs and tongues intertwined! (At one point, I even laughed so hard while erect that I thought my little head was literally going to explode!) But that was another movie, and Gonza: Wanna Be A Porn Star? is going in a totally different direction. Although I know that the actresses in it are gay, all of the female characters in the film are supposedly straight (although one turns out to be bisexual at the end).

3.4% Inflation is Worst in 5 years
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On January 20, 2006 @ 5:31 am In Inflation | Comments Disabled
Here's something that only got minor play this week: CPI data for December, and the full year were released, and it waren't purty:
For 2005, inflation rose at the fastest rate since 2,000 — while Personal Income gains failed to keep pace with price increases.
I'd like to see someone try to spin that positively.
CPI rose 3.4% for the year, despite Consumer Prices declining 0.1% in December, and 0.6% in November. AP noted that this "represented
the first consecutive monthly declines in two years, but both months
were heavily influenced by declines in gasoline and other fuels that
are expected to be reversed in January."
For the full year 2005, Energy prices were up 17.1%, followed by Medical Costs up 4.3%, Housing Prices up 4% and Education 2.4%.
All kinds of Energy went up in price: Gasoline prices were up 16.1 percent, Natural Gas prices jumped by 30.2 percent, and Home Heating Oil was up 27.2 percent. These are huge increases being felt by consumers in their higher heating bills, just about . . . NOW.
This data makes me wonder: Why do some economists insist on focusing on the core rate? Because volatile food and energy can throw the data off for a month? With inflation up 3.3% in 2004, and plus 3.4% in 2005, remind me again why we insist on ignoring food and energy?
That makes little sense after 2 consecutive years of significant, broad price increases.
What's the Fed have to say about this?
Jeffrey M. Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, stated: "I think it is too soon to declare that the 'pass-through risk' is entirely behind us."

Breast care center coming to Excela Square
Excela Square at Norwin plans to continue its expansion by offering a comprehensive breast-care center after receiving a $17,000 donation from the Smail Auto Group.
The breast care facility will be part of Excela Square's 2,000-square-foot Women's Center, which is adjacent to the facility's imaging center in the Norwin Hills Shopping Center in North Huntingdon, according to Jennifer Miele, vice president of marketing and communications for Excela Health.
Greensburg-based Smail Auto Group raised the money through its "Smail Auto Group Cares" campaign in October, according to marketing director Rebecca Septak.
During the campaign, the dealership displayed pink ribbons in each of its buildings in observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It also donated $100 for every vehicle sold throughout October, Septak said.
The group raised a total of $47,000, Septak said.
The dealership gave $7,000 to Westmoreland Walks for its annual breast cancer walk in October, $23,000 to the Magee-Womens Research Institute Foundation and the $17,000 contribution to Excela Health.
"Smail Auto Group not only made a visual statement but stood behind their message," Miele said.
"Their contribution is vital to the creation of the Women's Center at Excela Square."
The breast-care center is being designed to provide quick care for patients, Miele said.
Patients at Excela Square also have access to a radiologist who can immediately perform biopsies, digital mammography services, an on-site breast surgeon to discuss and perform treatments, and a reconstructive surgeon, she added.
"The last thing any woman who discovers a lump wants to do is wait days for the first appointment, days between testing, and days for follow-up," Miele said. "Patients at the Women's Center at Excela Square will have a point person to navigate and expedite their care all under one roof."
Miele said Excela officials plan to collaborate with several physicians to staff the breast care center, and have it open and ready for patients in 2013.

GILBERT, Minn. - A teenager is hospitalized after his dirt bike was struck by a train at a crossing near Gilbert late Monday.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's office says 18-year-old Joseph Petterson was trying to cross the tracks near County Road 97 and Cedar Island Drive around 11:15 p.m. when he was struck by a Canadian National Train.
Petterson suffered arm and leg injuries in the collision and was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth, where no information has been released on his condition.
Investigators are trying to determine if Petterson was trying to beat the train or if he didn't see it.

I think the approach depends largely on how the images are to be used, Nicole. If you're going for the "Architectural Digest" look, that is to say "formal" shots, my suggestion would be to spend some time exploring/researching the place in advance of the actual shoot. In particular, pay attention to the orientation of the home with respect to the solar path, so you can plan around the best times of day to photograph various aspects. Take a bunch of digital shots, if possible, during your exploratory pre-shoot visit, so you can use those to make detailed lighting plans in advance.
Interior lighting can be tricky - particularly if there is a view out of a window that needs to be preserved. In many cases, you'll want to balance your interior lights to the exposure required for the outside view, remembering that (within sync limits) shutter speed won't affect the electronic flash contribution to the total exposure. Consider using existing lighting fixtures in the home - table lamps and such - to add warmth to the shots. Again, balancing exposure so the lamps actually show up.
In many cases, adding light coming in from an adjacent room (e.g. through a doorway) can add a lot of dimension and depth to the shot. Radio slaves come in real handy for that sort of thing, as the slave trigger in the adjacent-room strobe may not be sensitive enough to trigger. Also, think in terms of using large softboxes and/or bounced strobes as opposed to straight lighting with the standard reflector on the heads. But, don't discount using "accent" lighting (grid spots, snoots, etc.) to add drama to a room.

Illustration Film Series At Space Gallery
Illustration Film Series at SPACE Gallery
Posted: 2013-10-11
MECA is collaborating with SPACE Gallery to bring a new Illustration film series to SPACE Gallery. The series begins with a film about illustrator Tomi Ungerer, known for his "witty", "weird" and "subversive" illustrations of movie posters, children's books, and anti-Vietnam War material.
The Portland Press Herald featured the screening and the documentary in a recent article. In it, MECA's Scott Nash said, ""I see him as one of the most important illustrators of our time. He's really a fascinating figure – with one foot in kids' literature and one in erotica. Coming from the European background, he had no trouble moving from one to another. He was a product of the dark age of illustration in the 60s, along with people like Shel Silverstein and Maurice Sendak who were rogues not just trained in children's literature. His work wasn't cloying or cutesy at all – there's some real subversiveness in it."
Next Tuesday, SPACE Gallery will be screening "Far Out Isn't Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story" at 7:30pm.
For more about the film and the series, check out Portland Press Herald's article here.

Super Bowl winner gives his insight to the NFL draft
Imagine receiving an invitation to someone's home. You arrive dressed for a festive occasion, knock on the front door where you are greeted warmly and with tremendous fanfare. Immediately, you are told to leave as the door slams in your face and you hear the sound of a turning lock.
This rude reception awaits several hundred football players who will join the National Football League in a matter of days when Commissioner Roger Goodell continues with his "business as usual" stance when the league kicks off its annual draft, Thursday, April 28 in New York. Moments after the newcomers enjoy the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, they will join several thousand current players already left in the cold during the lockout.
As always, many teams and their fans are anxious to learn who will be their "face of franchise". Oftentimes, it is the quarterback. Earlier this week, former Super Bowl-winning coach and ESPN's Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden shared his thoughts about the top quarterback prospects, based on his observations during his recently-conducted "Gruden QB Camp", during a media conference call.
On the Heisman Trophy winner, Cam Newton of Auburn: "The thing that impressed me, not only his physical attributes and his size, but his charisma. I just like the look in his eyes, the eagerness and feeling that he has a lot to prove to everybody, including himself. I think Newton impressed me the most in that regard.
"I think he can make the throws. I think it's a matter of him learning and getting conditioned to what the coach wants him to do, and he can do it. This guy has tremendous ability."
On Missouri's Blaine Gabbert, who is projected along with Newton as a possible Top 10 selection: "All you have to do is see the ball come out of his hand. He's got a very quick, strong arm. He has prototype size. He's over 6′4″, 235 pounds. He's a finance major, so you know he has intelligence. He has speed. He's elusive back there. His scrambling and play making ability I think will be very enticing. Once again, here's a junior quarterback that comes from a very unique, different style of spread offense at Missouri where he's been in the no‑back set, and the shotgun. I think his physical talents are very noticeable to everybody."
On Jake Locker, who was considered a possible #1 overall pick last year before he returned for his senior season at the University of Washington: "This is one tough guy. I mean, Jake Locker has played for two head coaches. He had to endure an 0‑12 season. This guy took a lot of punishment. The whole offense was built around (him). He does have to improve his accuracy. But I think when you're hit a lot and asked to do as much as Locker's been asked to do, sometimes your fundamentals wane a little bit. They disappear in key situations. He does have a good, strong arm. He's an outstanding athlete. I think he loves football. I think there is a real passionate fire inside this guy that somebody's going to capture. He would be a fun guy to coach."
On Ryan Mallett of Arkansas: "He comes from a unique background. His mom and dad were teachers and coaches. Football is very important to him. The thing I really liked about Ryan Mallett was his background playing under Bobby Petrino at Arkansas. And I know Coach Petrino well enough to know that he coaches quarterbacks hard, very demanding. He does have a beautiful throwing motion that I know a lot of guys in the league are excited about. He can really hum it."
On TCU's Andy Dalton: "I think Andy Dalton can play in any offense. I think when you become a pro quarterback and play in the National Football League, as the hash marks change, the field becomes more available. When you're on a college hash mark and you're throwing the ball to the wide side of the field, that's almost an impossible task for anyone. So I think putting the ball in the middle of the field favors Andy Dalton. I've seen him be an accurate passer. I've seen him manage a high‑volume offense with great success at TCU. And if you look at Texas Christian football, who would have thought they'd be 13‑0 and Rose Bowl champions? He's an outstanding, well‑versed quarterback that I think will fit a lot of schemes."
Michael Kim is the host of SportsCenter, ESPN America's flagship US sports news programme, now airing in the UK on ESPN America – Sky channel 430, Virgin channel 531 and TalkTalk TV channel 566 – every weekday morning live from 6:00am with an updated show at 10:30pm.

Frustration and anger
Where do I stand now?
I'm torn between beauty and perfection
And comfort and affection
To eat or not to eat
That is the question
Shakespeare couldn't solve this
Now neither can I
Such a hard transition
When Ana isn't strong enough
But she still has feelings
Starving isn't good enough
Self-control is out the window
You binge and binge
To find control
I've lost control
Food or not
Eat or not.
7000 calories.
Two hundred and fifty.
Every day, thrice a day.
Barely twice a week.
I'm stuck.
Can you help?
I'm torn between death and hell.
No-one wins and no-one fights.
No-one lives, no-one survives.
I want to be thin.
I want to be perfect.
Food, God damn you.
You're not even worth it.
Such a miniscule problem,
For one sane person.
The end of the road for me.
I'm crazy.

After 61 years, Kennewick General Hospital is no more.
The community hospital officially changed its name to Trios Health after Kennewick Public Health District Board commissioners voted to change the name during a special meeting Oct. 8.
"We haven't been Kennewick General Hospital by definition for a very long time," Wanda Briggs, hospital commissioner said. "We no longer just do general medicine. We no longer serve just Kennewick and we really are so much more then just a hospital."
Since opening in 1952, the facility has grown from just 23 hospital rooms to expanding into three urgent care centers and more than 10 physician-based clinics and specialty services across the region.
Trios Health offers services in everything from endocrinology to oncology and gastroenterology.
"The bottom line is that we are not the same organization that opened its doors 60 years ago," said Glen Marshall, Trios' CEO. "We serve the full community — patients from Kennewick, Richland, Pasco and beyond. We are not longer just providing general medicine and we are no longer just a hospital."
Despite the change in name, commissioners stressed that it will still be the same hospital that has served the Tri-Cities all these years.
"Kennewick General Hospital is our heritage," said Briggs. "Everything we are we've grown from that, but in a way those three words are limiting. As I said earlier, we aren't just Kennewick. We certainly don't provide just general medicine and we are far more than a just hospital."
The name change comes as the hospital prepares to open its new facility at Southridge. Commissioners have already budgeted for the expenses that will come with new signage, business cards, medical forms and stationary.
"You've got to spend it — so why would you spend a heap of money on signs for example if you are considering a change? So the timing of this is really perfect," Briggs said. "Starting (Oct. 10) we will begin changing signs around town."
The name Trios was chosen based on the word's meaning and its reflection of the hospitals mission.
"We have many trios around us," Marshall said. "We serve the Tri-Cities … we provide a rich past, present and future. As medical experts we address the three aspects of health, mind, body and spirit. And we have combined three powerful ideas into one great system of care: compassion-driven, community-minded and physician-connected."
For more information on the new name and to visit the hospital website visit trioshealth.org.

Is it time to start clearing the decks?
By Bob McCann, Director of Education, ARI
August 9, 2013
Filed under Guest Blog
Summer events and promotions are in full swing, and even though we're quickly closing in on the "7th inning stretch" there's still time to sell more boats. There are plenty of enthusiasts out there who are still in the market for their first or new boat – and they're savvy buyers. Now is the time to take advantage of the tremendous sales opportunity online marketing has to offer.
Every year at this time, the boat bargain hunters begin to surface. These buyers know that the boating season is coming to an end (hard to believe, it seems like it just got started) and they are looking for a great deal. At the same time, you may want to clear the deck of this year's inventory to make room for new models and, more importantly, avoid floor plan expenses. Here's a few cost-effective ways you can reach out to these end-of-season buyers. Done right, you can make this time of the year a win-win for you and buyers.
Google AdWords
Pay-per-click advertising through Google is a great way to capture the attention of end-of-the-year boating enthusiasts and drive immediate traffic to your dealership. Making a simple change to your AdWord buying strategy can mean the difference between buyers finding your dealership rather than your competitor's. Add keywords like "inventory reduction", "closeout pricing", "end of year pricing" — the very words that buyers are typing in when they go online in search of their new boat at a bargain price. And, don't forget about current boat owners. Be sure to include keywords like "winterization" and "storage". Don't stop there. Make sure to include links on your search results ad that go directly to the appropriate page on your website and prominently display this same messaging on your home page.
Email marketing
Now is the perfect time to target customers and prospects in your lead management system that are still looking for their dream boat. Send them an email with a tailored marketing message that captures their interest and motivates them to visit your dealership for great buys on your current inventory — new and used. Make sure to use buzzwords in the subject line and text of your email that buyers will react to — "Year-end Savings" and "Priced to Sell". And, don't forget about including links in your email that go directly to images or videos to reel buyers in. As a way to reduce congestion during the annual winterization bottleneck, send current boat owners and email to entice them to take advantage of an early-bird winterization/storage offer.
Facebook campaigns
Like most marine dealers today, you probably have a Facebook page that is helping you grow your fan base. That's a great place to start reaching out to your raving fans and have some fun with posts and images about the value of winterization; current inventory and upcoming special year-end events. You can take that a step further by running a Facebook ad campaign designed to reach prospects in your area. Facebook allows you to target users based on zip code, city name, gender, interests and more. This type of campaign can help you create additional buzz and exposure for your dealership, expand that fan base and generate click-throughs to your website. It's important to remember, however, that Facebook is a social networking platform and "Likes" don't necessarily translate into dollars.
Today's prospects and customers are busier than ever. They are overwhelmed by non-stop "buy me" messages. So, it's no surprise that they tune out, skip or delete many of the messages that come their way. Regardless of how you reach out – AdWords, emails or Facebook — your message must approach consumers on their terms, with relevant, helpful information. And, whenever possible, entertain and surprise them.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandon Great for the price, slightly different color. We needed a big piece, but didn't want to spend a ton. I caution you to look at it in a store before ordering online if you have a tight color scheme. I find it to look a little brighter (almost chartreuse) around the edges, certainly not as muted as the picture. Because our room is otherwise neutral, it still works for us. June 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Corrine Much brighter than pictured online. Has a lot of yellow with orange. Much brighter than pictured online. Has a lot of yellow with orange. Disappointed in actual colors when I received it. May 4, 2015

Lip-syncing, the Super Bowl, and Mad Men are on our minds this week.
The Inauguration happened, but you might not know it because everyone's been talking about Beyonce and how she may have lip-synced the National Anthem. I love Bey, and I don't much care if she lip-synced, but apparently a lot of people do. Amid Beyonce-bashing, several articles rebutted the claim, while others said Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, AND the choir performed to a pre-recorded track, in addition to singing live. The reason I think people care so much is because if Beyonce lip-synced, she'll have been the first person ever in the history of the world to have done so. Wait, that's right, Yo-Yo Ma didn't play live at the 2009 Inauguration; I don't even need to mention Ashlee Simpson. Beyonce's camp hasn't responded publicly, and I think it's because she's too busy hanging out with her close personal friends, the Obamas, and swimming in her champagne-filled pool. (Probably.)

The first week of the NFL season is now in the books and it did not disappoint. Teams like the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens proved they were worthy of all the off-season hype that surrounded their teams, while others like the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions stumbled, but won, in their opening games. With that being said, there were a few moments that stood out above all else in the opening week of the 2012 NFL Season:
When Peyton Manning decided to sign with Denver in the offseason, speculation began about whether or not Manning was fully recovered from his neck injury that cost him all of last season. Well, the future Hall-of-Famer silenced all of his doubters. Manning threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, helping Denver to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19 on Sunday night. The Broncos now head to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Monday Night Football.

I'm not normally a football fan, but this is ridiculously impressive even for me. In case you missed it, in yesterday's game vs. the Packers, the San Francisco 49ers' David Akers made a record-tying 63-yard field goal. Only three other players in history have accomplished the feat, including two who made the goal in very thin air at Denver's Mile High Stadium and one who was using a controversial modified shoe. So this is a big deal.
Click the link above to see the video of the shot. My favorite moments in the video:1. 11 seconds: the thud when the football hits the goal post, and most of the Green Bay fans think they've managed to avoid the 49ers' point gain.2. 14 seconds: the moment when the crowd quiets down, because they realize that the point gain has, in fact, happened.3. 37 seconds: the field goal is ALMOST blocked by a Packer, due to the very long distance and the very low trajectory of the punt.4. 43 seconds: Akers' face when he realizes what he has just done. It's almost like he can't believe it himself.
What do you think? Was there a better moment in football yesterday? Let us know in the comments.

Happy Labor Day everybody! We celebrate the day by wrapping up our preview of the upcoming NFL season (which is now just two days away) by taking a look at the NFC West.
(To view previous NFL previews, click on any of the following division names: AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, AFC West, NFC East, NFC South, NFC North)
The Arizona Cardinals are just a few years away from being in the Super Bowl, but since QB Kurt Warner retired, the team has struggled to find a competent replacement. The starting QB job this year will go to Kevin Kolb, who has struggled throughout his time in Arizona, with John Skelton waiting in the wings if Kolb trips up. If Arizona wants a successful 2012, they need one of the quarterbacks to be able to get the ball to arguably the best wide receiver in the game, Larry Fitzgerald.
Projection: Unless one of the team's quarterbacks exceeds expectations, the Cardinals are on their way to another mediocre season without a trip to the postseason.

dhromed's is plotting the raw values (possibly level-matched?) and presents the log scale differently. Mine's a difference plot of the replaygain-adjusted raw values vs. reference -- but in any case my first plot was wrong -- I made a mistake transferring the data for the reference file. Here's the corrected graph. The description of the slightly altered input files and workflow is here. Basically in this version all three of the files have been adjusted according to replaygain values before comparison, and all three files are of the same segment of audio.

Feeding the hungry
It was with great sadness that the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank staff, board of directors and volunteers learned of the passing of Richard Scaife. Mr. Scaife was one of our most stalwart supporters, giving through his various foundations and personal wealth more than $1.8 million over the past 10 years to help feed the hungry of our region.
These gifts were not always responses to food bank requests. Often they came from Mr. Scaife unsolicited and unrestricted, given to the food bank to use as we saw fit as long as his contribution was sure to help ease the suffering of those less fortunate.
I can recall, for example, that shortly after the current recession began in December 2007, the food bank received a sizable and unexpected check from Mr. Scaife with a simple note: "People must be hurting."
Mr. Scaife never sought recognition for all he did for our organization. Still, the food bank recognized Mr. Scaife's generosity and support in 2009 with an award honoring his commitment to helping hungry men, women and children throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.
It was a small token of appreciation for a man who did so much for Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and those we serve.
His friendship will be missed.
On behalf of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank family, of which Mr. Scaife was a valued member, I extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
Lisa A. Scales
The writer is CEO of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

Cranberry Salsa
I love the flavor of cranberries and I'm always looking for unique ways to use them. Recently, I came across a recipe for a cranberry salsa. Now I know we usually don't associate salsa with the holidays or cranberries, but this is a delicious, easy to make recipe that doesn't take much time.
- 12 oz. bag cranberries
- 4 tbsp. cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
- 2 tbsp. onion, grated
- 1/2 cup sugar
Begin by blanching the cranberries. Now this only takes a few minutes. You want to cook them only long enough for them to begin to pop and split open.
Drain them in a colander, and then put them in the blender.
Next add the remaining ingredients to the blender - the fresh chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Then add the minced jalapeno peppers and grated onion to give the salsa some zip and the sugar to bring it all into balance.
Blend this together, then put it in a container and chill it in the refrigerator. That's all there is to it. It's delicious served with cream cheese and crackers.
Even though we don't grow cranberries in our backyard, they certainly have the flavor of the holiday season.
The holiday table would not be complete without cranberry sauce, but if you are looking for something a little different try this cranberry salsa. It is a simple way to spice up your meal.
Time to prepare: 25 minutes.
This recipe is vegetarian.

29. Varanasi, India
India's exhausting variety can all be found within the holy city of Varanasi. Straddling an expanse of the Ganges, this ancient settlement draws pilgrims in droves – Hindus believe that dying there ensures salvation, and the feeble and elderly come here to draw their last breath. Tourists sailing the riverfront will see old, lithe men meditate in silence, women laundering brightly coloured saris in the murky water and smouldering funeral pyres emitting hazy billows of smoke. Behind the tumult of this remarkable theatre, Varanasi itself stands dilapidated but resolute – and reveals itself in stages. As monsoon floodwaters subside, tiers of steps and bleached, hand-painted signs re-emerge from the depths. This is a place always the same but somehow in a constant state of flux.Picture: ALAMY

"I used these for my wedding invitations and kept everything as is. They were stunning! I paired them with a small gold envelope. I used two more of these cards for guest accommodation information and directions to my venue. I included all three cards in a gold pocket fold along with my invitation."
"The RSVPs are beautiful! Great size and paper quality. I changed the lower text as we don't have options of entree for guests to choose, to ask about any dietary requirements. The designers were able to format it really well."
"Gorgeous, yet simple, RSVP cards. I opted to have our return addresses printed on the return envelopes, and the printing was beautiful. The weddingpaperdivas team worked with me to get the appropriate number of response lines, and the result was great!"
"I made several changes to the response card which the support team helped a lot with! They are very accommodating and made my vision a reality. The card stock is durable and of good quality! No complaints here! Lucious lacing is a beautiful template and I am over the moom with my invitations."
"I fell in love with the entire set of Diamond sky cards. This response card complemented the invite extremely well. Thank you for the amazing work."

An ereader is at its simplest, nothing more than an electronic device in which you might keep an enormous number of ebooks which are electronic or digital books, An eBook reader is the supreme essential device for book enthusiasts. Designed particularly for reading, these gadgets display digitized variations of books that allow simple, on-the-go reading, so that instead of needing to deal with a library of books, you simply have one light and usually comfortably sized reading device with which you keep a practically endless number of books, and with which it is basic and enjoyable to check out these books.
It is wireless, mobile, and permits readers to carry personal collections everywhere they go. A lot of e-readers can store several hundred e-books, or electronic books, that cost rather less than printed formats. An increasing variety of ereaders these days are capable of linking to an online book store via the smart phone network, so you can look for new ebooks straight from your ereader rapidly and easily. You can discover and buy an ebook at any time you choose without having to leave your seat.
Ereader memory
An e-book reader is similar in kind to a tablet computer. A tablet computer system generally has a much faster screen capable of higher refresh rates which makes it better for communication. Tablet computers likewise are more functional, permitting one to consume several types of material, as well as produce it.
Memory size varies and is directly connected to the rate. The cheapest e-readers will certainly have the lowest level of memory, which has to do with 512 megabytes (MB), and the more expensive gadgets will certainly have up to two gigabytes (GB). However, even with the smallest quantity of memory, an e-reader can hold about 200 books. The readers with the largest memories can hold a number of thousand books.
Almost all ereaders are capable of revealing your ebooks to you in a variety of text sizes, from very little to very large, all at the click of a button, so you can readjust the size of the text you are reading to suite your needs at all times. This is a genuine benefit for those whose eye sight is not perfect and makes life so much more comfortable.
What does an ereader do?
An ereader is a minature computer consisting of a screen and various buttons with which to carry out the different actions you require in order to review or organise your ebooks. and in which you might save your ebooks. They are available in essentially two kinds, which connect to the kind of screen they offer you, and are normally about the size of a paper back novel. But much thinner.
With an e-Ink screens
The first, and typically contemplated finest kind of ereaders for merely reading with have one variation or another of what is called an e-Ink or e-Paper screen Currently these are almost all monochrome, which means black text on a white page. These are extremely easy on your eyes, as they are not in fact simply little computer screens, but an electronic variation of paper, so they are not in fact lit up as a computer system screen is, and is called Back Lit. So, if you had a paper book, you would need a reading light if you wished to check out in a dark location, and if you are in bright sunshine they still work perfectly well. In fact they act precisely the same as a paper book does in this regard. Thus an ereader with an e-ink screen behaves exactly like a paper book.
With an LCD or TFT screen.
The various other type presently readily available utilizes a version of a computer screen, and these are capable of reproducing color, which can be great for magazines, kids books and text books for example. But they also deal with a couple of troubles. The first of which is they are really tough to see in bright sunshine as is any computor sceen in bright sunshine, they are harder on the eye, and because the innovation is various, they eat much more power, so you have to charge its batteries more typically than with an e-ink ereader normally every few hours instead of about once every few weeks as holds true with e-Ink screens.
However whichever type of display technology you purchase, they both deal with the exact same basic concepts, that is they provide you with one page at a time on the screen, and when you have reviewed that page, either by means of a button, or sort of a swiping action you proceed to the following page. If it has a touch screen, meanings that you control your ereader by means of a touch sensitive display, rather than with buttons. This swiping action suggests that it can be really much like checking out a book, as the turning movement resembles turning the pages of a book. This suggests an ereader can frequently be simpler than reviewing a paperback.
Many individuals comment that the capability to vary the text size likewise makes the ereader more conveinient than a possibly large book.
Also, almost all ereaders keep in mind the last page you were reading when you turn it off, so when you want to carry on reading, you can go straight to the page you desire, this is easier than a book mark, and impossible to lose?
Much of the appeal of using an eReader is the benefit of downloading books right away. A lot of dedicated eBook readers have an incorporated eBook store that you can access directly on the device and browse hundreds of titles.
Is an ereader easy to use, probably and many individuals would have grumbled when paperbacks were created? Ereaders are primarily very well created for people to use and improving all the time. This is specifically real if you pick one of the established makes Sony, Kindle, Nook and Kobo.
Assuming you have an ereader that is moderately well designed, you will certainly checking out ebooks on it in an extremely short time.
Ebook reader Functions
Lots of ereaders these days come with a whole range of additional functions, which may or may not serve to you. Such as the capability to make notes on pages, utilizing one kind or other of keyboard that the device could have, highlight or mark passages that interest you, built in dictionaries to allow you to quickly discover the definitions of words in the text you might not know, and numerous others. Undoubtedly when picking an ereader, you must consider which if any, of these extra functions are of interest to you, and choose accordingly.
Getting ebooks for your Ereader
This can be fun, as well as really difficult, as the publishing and book selling world is still struggling to find business model that works both for them and for us, and frankly, it is something of a mess just now.
However, putting that to one side for now, one gets ebooks from a huge variety of online sources.
Not free ebooks-- ones you spend for, that is:.
Depending on which ereader you have actually chosen, there are a variety of ways in which you might purchase ebooks to keep reading it. This is complicated just now, unfortunately, so I will have to deal with this by make.
Kindle, from Amazon:.
If you have selected a Kindle, then unless you happen to be pretty clever with computers, you are successfully limited to buying your ebooks from the Amazon internet site as Amazon, who are the makers of the Kindle variety of ereaders have chosen to have a format for their ebooks that is one-of-a-kind to them, so you wont have the ability to read any ebooks you purchase from various other sources on your Kindle ereader. Similarly, any ebooks you purchase from them wont work on other ereader.
Against which, Amazon have actually developed an extremely easy to use system for buying ebooks from them utilizing the mobile phone networks or the web, and their rates are in line with every other ebook seller, in addition to providing you a substantial variety of ebooks.
And the Kindle is an excellent ereader, and competitively priced as well.
Nook ereaders from Barnes and Noble.
The above comments about the Kindle apply equally to the Nook variety of ereaders. Understand that the Nook deals with ePub, however it is a different type to the ePub all others utilize.
All various other ereaders-- Sony, Kobo and other you might find:.
At the moment, apart from the Nook and Kindle, almost all other ereaders work with the efficient world standard ebook format, referred to as ePub. This indicates that you could buy ebooks from any online ebook seller, apart from Barnes and Noble who provide ebooks in the ePub format, which is all of them actually.
The DRM.
DRM, which means Digital Rights Management is a system to prevent you from distributing any copyrighted ebooks you purchase to others, and effectively suggests that such ebooks will just deal with your ereader.
All ebooks you purchase are likely to be subject to DRM protection.
You have to understand that you will certainly need DRM software either on your ereader or computer in order to check out such ebooks. This is usually an automatic process that takes place when you initially utilize your ereader, otherwise you may well need a little aid from someone with an affordable grasp of such technology.
Free ebooks:.
Now this is where ereaders truly enter their own. There are now hundreds of websites that offer free ebooks for you to download, almost all in ePub format as well. To a large degree this indicates books that run out copyright, the author died time ago, so they have the tendency to be all the renowned Classics, however they are by no means restricted to these, there are lots of where authors place their ebook to be distributed free of charge.

SHROVETIDE next week might benefit from an 'improving picture' in the area's weather, forecasters have told the News Telegraph.

WASHINGTON — Federal health regulators have approved a novel device that can preserve donated lungs outside the body for possible transplantation into critically ill patients.
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that the approval of the XVIVO Perfusion System could lead to more successful transplants of lungs for people with cystic fibrosis and other deadly respiratory diseases.
The device consists of a bubble-like chamber where the lungs are stored and connected to a series of pumps and filters that provide oxygen and a sterile cleansing solution. Lungs can be kept in the machine for four hours as doctors evaluate their suitability for transplant.
Only about one in five lungs currently donated meet the medical criteria for transplantation. By giving doctors more time to examine the organs, FDA officials say more lungs may ultimately be transplanted.
In 2012, 1,754 lung transplants were performed in the U.S. with 1,616 patients still on the national waiting list. Lung transplantation is often the only treatment for patients with end-stage lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

LuxuryhomesinOrlando.com © 2009 All rights reserved. Information deemed reliable but not guaranted.Parties are advised to verify.
Before Apopka was "The Indoor Foliage Capital of the World" or even before it was "The Fern City," it was The Lodge.
From about 7500 B.C. until about the 1st century A. D. when they disappeared for reasons unknown, Indians were believed to have lodged on the shores of Lake Apopka. Then for about 400 years the region appears to have been uninhabited.
When the Spaniards arrived in Florida in the 16th century, the Acuera tribe of the Timucua confederation was said to have lived in the Apopka area, growing crops and trading. By 1730 these natives were decimated by war and diseases brought by the Europeans and had also disappeared.
Apopka offers a healthy mix of commercial and residential zoned properties. Many Developments cater to a diverse clientele such as golf communities or equestrian properties.
You can modify your search by price and amenities to produce a more refined list. You also can sign up for email updates on homes that come on the market. Please let us know if you are interested in any of the houses for sale in Apopka.
Then early in the 19th century, Indians again inhabited the area. There was a Seminole village on Lake Apopka, or Ahapopka, as they spelled and pronounced it. It remained an active village until the outbreak of the Second Seminole War in the mid 1830s. Coacoochee (Wild Cat), one of the most famous and influential War Chiefs, was born here and ruled as Chief of about 200 Indians until this village was evacuated and the natives sought refuge in the swampy areas around the St Johns.
The Armed Occupation Act of 1842 brought white settlers to the Apopka area. They received 160 acres if they would settle them.
These Pioneers and those that followed the Civil War from states to the north began converting the area into what it is today.
The settlement grew, attracting developers and settlers because of the climate and the agricultural opportunities and becoming an important trading center in the 1850s. The Masons' were particularly active. Orange Lodge #36 was organized in 1857, and The Lodge building, still standing on its original site at Alabama Avenue and Highway 441, was completed in 1859.
It was around this building that the town grew in the 1860s and 1870s and ultimately became the Town of Apopka City incorporated in 1882.
In 1882 the City of Apopka was incorporated. The City limits were measured one mile in all directions from the Masonic Lodge. The "Lodge" is still in its original location on Main Street (US 441) and is the oldest lodge room in continuous use in the State of Florida.
In 1912 ferns became the industry for Apopka and soon Apopka developed the name of "Fern City". More tropical plants were introduced to the growers in the area. This influx of foliage took over the fern industry and the City became known as "The Indoor Foliage Capital of the World".
The City of Apopka is located 12 miles Northwest of Orlando and encompasses an area slightly larger than 30 square miles and a population of more than 31,000 citizens.
Progress continued and today Apopka is still an important hub of commerce. One of the fastest-growing cities in Orange County, it is home base to more than 45,000 citizens in the greater Apopka area.

Ever since moving to Central Virginia about 6 years ago, Shenandoah National Park has been a very important place to me. I have spent many a warm day, cold day, and even night hiking trails. It has become a getaway when I am stressed as well as a place to enjoy the solitude and beauty that nature has to offer. But one hike in 2006 stands out to me more than any other.
I was dating a wonderful man and we had shared many hikes together. But I didn't realize that he had a larger goal that April day when he suggested we hike Old Rag. When we reached the top, it was teeming with people, so we stayed up there for only a few minutes before continuing along the trail. Not too far past the summit, Jay ducked off the trail and suggested that we explore some boulders and check out the scenery. As I was busy eating my granola bar, I thought nothing of it and followed him. We came out to an overlook with a beautiful view of the mountains and just a stone throw's from the summit, but far enough that it was quiet and a little bit more personal. Still rather oblivious and munching away on my granola, I looked around, enjoying the view, and turned towards Jay…who was down on one knee! I was initially confused (and yes, the thought "what is he doing down there?" crossed my mind) but as I looked down I noticed a ring in his hand, and heard him ask, "Will you marry me?" Through the granola in my mouth and the tears in my eyes, I managed to squeak out a "yes!"

Library FRIENDS prepare for busy 2013
The FRIENDS of Carnegie Free Library of Connellsville are already making plans for 2013 on the heels of several successful campaigns in 2012.
"The FRIENDS were elated about our Nov. 3 book sale," said Karen Macko, the group's vice president. "Each sale brings more people to enjoy the event. Reading is alive in Connellsville and surrounding communities."
Macko said there are a lot of different activities going on and the book sale seems to draw a wide range of people — from poets to grandparents, children to scientists.
"And they all love the complimentary donuts, coffee and socializing," said Macko.
The book sales are scheduled like clockwork — on the Saturdays when the clocks change — said Macko.
The next book sale will be held March 9, 2013.
And members of the volunteer group are already collecting items for the sale. The club accepts books, DVDs, large print books, CDs, children's books, etc.
Another successful project was the group's seasonal cookie jars, which were sold at It's A Connellsville Christmas.
During this event, the FRIENDS were located in the library auditorium and were joined by 22 vendors, who sold baked goods, crafts, dog biscuits, scarves, hats, jewelry, spa treatments and more, many were giving free samples. The 300 patrons enjoyed refreshments and left carrying many bags filled with purchases.
"Santa made an appearance, away from his busy schedule, so that all the children had time to discuss their lists with him and get their pictures taken. Everyone was in the Christmas spirit," said Macko.
The seasonal cookie jar sale surpassed expectations, said Macko.
"We are happy that so many people in our community will be enjoying sweet treats over this holiday season," said Macko.
The FRIENDS will start taking orders for its signature cookies, Andy's Cranberry Cookie and FRIENDS Death by Chocolate at Downtown Connellsville's Mum Festival in the spring and unofficially end at It's a Connellsville Christmas 2013.
"We have had so many requests this year, it seems that everyone needs just one more to have on hand as a hostess gift, teacher gift, exchange gift, or just to enjoy eating," said Macko.
The jars cost $10 each and the group's motto is "from jar to table in 10 minutes!"
At every event the FRIENDS attend, they provide samples of the two varieties of cookies.
"We thank everyone who has so generously supported our project, all proceeds are earmarked for the library auditorium," said Macko.
The Cafe Carnegie is the next big undertaking of the FRIENDS. The coffee shop is coming soon. Available at the shop will be coffee, specialty coffees, lattes, a panini of the day, soup of the day and a dessert of the day.
Lyndan Design on Wills Road in Connellsville will be doing the cabinetry and flooring, some plumbing and electrical work. That work is beginning now and is being funded by private donations.
"We will use the original lights in the library that were in the basement. They will be refurbished by the Connellsville Area Career and Technical Center. This project has a lot of different entities helping to bring it to reality. When people work together, many things are possible," said Chris Wallander, who is on the board of directors of Carnegie Free Library of Connellsville and is a FRIENDS member. The cafe will be staffed by volunteers of FRIENDS. All profits will benefit the library, used specifically to offset the monthly budget deficit.
"With state funding cuts two years in a row, it has been difficult to maintain the services and payroll of the library. We need to maintain our staff at the level they are. If staff is reduced, then services are reduced and a downward spiral begins. Once that happens, it is very difficult to bring it back. Now more than ever we need to join forces and save an integral part of our community," said Wallander.
The FRIENDS are asking the community for donations as the remodel begins, specifically needed are two refrigerators with freezers located on the bottom.
"We are now going into full planning mode for our June 1 fundraiser, Bike for Books. Our first organizational meeting will be on Jan. 31 and assignments will be confirmed," said Macko.
The general membership meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 24 in the library board room. New members are welcome.
"We have an amazing membership, 183 members, who help us exceed every goal by sharing their special expertise and creative ideas. We also have a very enjoyable time," said Macko.
For more information on FRIENDS, email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Honda Accord and Civic have been staples in the U.S. market since the mid-1970s, and neither is showing signs of slowing down. The Civic checks in as Honda's resident compact car that is available in both coupe and sedan versions, and the Accord is the automaker's midsize model, also available in two- and four-door configurations.
See a side-by-side comparison of the Civic & Accord »
Both cars have their pluses and minuses, but which of these Japanese icons is the best buy within Honda's lineup?
Going Head-to-Head
The Civic immediately gets the advantage over the Accord in terms of pricing, as it bases out at $17,965 to the Accord's $21,955. But as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
The Accord checks in with a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque to the Civic's 1.8-liter with 140 horsepower and 128 pound-feet. The Accord also receives a more modern six-speed manual as standard, while the Civic's manual transmission has only five speeds. The smaller Civic does, however, pull out a small victory by beating the Accord in fuel economy with ratings of 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway to the Accord's 24 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.
Where the Accord really pulls away is in standard features, as it comes standard with top-line items like dual-zone automatic climate control, an illuminated vanity mirror, two power outlets, an overhead console, and 16-inch alloy wheels. On top of all of the additional features, the Accord is far roomier than the Civic, with 0.5 inches more front legroom, 2.3 inches more rear legroom, and an extra 3.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
Our Verdict: Honda Accord
If you have to remain under $20,000 for your next new car, the Civic is a fine choice, but if your budget is a little more flexible, the Accord is certainly the better value.

Karen G. Williams, doctoral student in anthropology, has won the American Anthropological Association (AAA) Minority Dissertation Fellowship for 2013–14. The $10,000 award, given to one student annually, is intended to encourage members of ethnic minorities to complete doctoral degrees in anthropology, thereby increasing diversity in the discipline and promoting research on issues of concern among minority populations. Williams will be recognized at the 2013 AAA Annual Meeting in November.
Williams's dissertation, "From Coercion to Consent? Governing the Formerly Incarcerated in the 21st Century United States," looks at the emerging policy of prisoner reentry reform. The ethnographic project asks: "Is the aftermath of mass incarceration merely another site of racialized social control or do new reentry programs combine with other changes in the penal system to signal a shift towards a less punitive mode of governance in the United States?" Prof. Leith Mullings is dissertation supervisor.
Founded in 1902 and based in Arlington, Virginia, the American Anthropological Association is the world's largest professional organization of anthropologists and others interested in anthropology, with an average annual membership of more than 12,000. The association represents all anthropological specialties: cultural anthropology, biological (or physical) anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and applied anthropology.

What Is RFSL?
RFSL - Riksförbundet för homosexuellas, bisexuellas och transpersoners rättigheter (RFSL—The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights) is a non-profit organization that works with and for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT). It is non-partisan and not affiliated with any religious organization.
RFSL was founded in 1950 and is one of the world's oldest LGBT organizations. It currently has approximately 4,000 members.
What are RFSL's goals?
RFSL's vision and ultimate goal is a society that is characterized by respect for and acceptance of people's differences on such a sweeping scale that organizations such as RFSL are no longer necessary.
RFSL's objective is that the same rights, opportunities and obligations will be applicable for LGBT people as they are for everyone else in society.
What does RFSL do?
RFSL works to improve the quality of life for LGBT people through political lobbying, information dissemination, and the organization of social and support activities. Internationally, RFSL works with the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) and also collaborates with other LGBT organizations in neighboring countries.
The federation operates counseling centers for both women and men in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. The counseling is intended for people who need to talk about coming out, sex, HIV/AIDS and other health issues, and relationships, as well as who need assistance in their contact with the authorities and healthcare institutions, or who require legal assistance with, for example, asylum and wills.
RFSL produces the Kom Ut ("Come Out") magazine. In addition, the federation maintains three websites with general information as well as specific information regarding LGBT health issues and for LGBT crime victims.
