The 2001-2003 Z8 is one of the more graceful designs to slip from the BMW design studios in recent memory. With the droptop's classic roadster lines and plenty of performance on tap, the Z8 may not have sold like gangbusters when it was in production, but its slow-burn appeal has ensured that it has plenty of fans and impressive resale value. Despite a very limited production run of just 5,703 units, Senner Tuning has belatedly turned its attention toward modifying this convertible, which is qui

She looks good here, I thought it was K Stew from the tumbnail
I can't believe she's 40 already.
I know, I'm 38 and I don't have boobs like that….but then again, I'm a dude, so…
Relax, guys. She just stole the boobs from Natalie Portman.
She needs to shoplift some new clothes!
She's holding up nicely.. Correct age.. Fit and mentally ill.. Check, Check and Check..

"I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. Holy fuck am I ever crazy!"

I bet she steals this picture.
Still so fucking hot. I would tear that ass up.
Should have shoplifted some Rid.
Here's crossing my fingers for her to enter the Weeds stage of her career. Come on honey, it's been over 25 years waiting for those puppies to come out and play in the sun like Mother Nature meant them to.
I don't think that's a set…or makeup.
Who am I? Why am I here? Whose gum is this?

FLAT ROCK – The rain was barely on coach Tom Oestrike's mind at the open of football practice Monday.
Instead, Oestrike praised the students who showed up ready to go, while showing frustration at those who didn't.
"One of the things that is a little disappointing is that we have a couple guys who don't have their physicals, and that's hurting the team," Oestrike said. "So far, everybody that we have here is busting their tail. The attitude is really good, and we don't have anybody who is selfish."
Oestrike didn't even try to dodge the rain drops when practice kicked off at 3 p.m.
The Rams opened the first day of drills inside the gym with the team split into groups working on tackling technique, footwork and conditioning. Oestrike hopes to begin full pad practices on Friday.
"We're simulating a lot of drills that will get us ready for pads," Oestrike said. "There's a lot of heads-up tackling stuff that we're going over right now, and when we get in pads, we'll have a lot of confidence at that point."
Oestrike still hoped to get his guys outside during the second half of the day.
"It looks like the rain is going to hold off," Oestrike said. "We're going to take an hour break and then around six we'll move out onto the practice field."
In his third year as head coach, Oestrike hopes to transform a team that finished 0-9 last season.
"We just want to get better every day," Oestrike said. "We have to get better every day, and everybody has to worry about taking care of their own business and making themselves better."
That philosophy extended beyond just the players too.
"Our goal is for both the coaches to get better and for the team to get better," Oestrike said. "Everybody has to take care of themselves, including the coaches and the staff. If they get better, then the team will get better."

A study released Monday indicates that while the improvements aren't extraordinary, students in schools in which the sale of junk food and sugar-laced drinks have been curtailed are seeing a slower rate of childhood obesity.
According to an Associated Press report on the study, researchers found that children in states that had strong laws governing snacks that were available in schools gained less weight from the fifth grade through the eighth grade than students in states that had no snack laws. Students who were overweight or obese in the fifth grade also had a better chance of achieving a healthy weight by the eighth grade if they lived in states that had the strongest laws regarding the types of snacks sold in schools.
What determined whether a state had a strong law? For the study, a strong law had detailed nutritional requirements for food and drinks sold on campus other than at meals. Vague laws and laws that merely encouraged the sale of healthy food without guidelines were considered weak.
Nationally, according to the AP report, about one out of every five children in elementary school is obese. The study found that in states that had no school snack laws, 37 percent of fifth-graders were overweight and 21 percent were obese. Those numbers stayed about the same when those children reached the eighth grade.
When a state had strong laws that were enforced consistently in elementary and middle grades, the researchers found, the percentage of students who were overweight in the fifth grade -- 39 percent -- dropped five points to 34 percent by the time they were eighth-graders. The 21 percent of fifth-graders in those states who were obese trimmed down to 18 percent by the eighth grade.
We believe information is the key for adults making decisions about what -- and how much of it -- they consume. Rather than banning large portion sizes, making information readily and conspicuously available in regard to how many calories and how much fat, trans fat, sugar, sodium and carbohydrates food items and drinks pack gives adults the facts they need to make informed decisions.
But children -- particularly those in elementary school -- are still developing. A calorie chart isn't going to dissuade a 12-year-old kid who really wants a double-scoop ice cream cone from getting that double-scoop ice cream cone. One of the things children have to learn is how to make decisions. They can't be expected to make them on an adult level, which is why they need adult guidance, both at home and at school.
Restricting their choices of food and drinks at school and ensuring that they don't have easy access to empty calories are things parents should want schools to do. Even if the health benefits are small, there's no downside to any downsizing that results from instilling better eating habits in our kids.

Perhaps the Herald could describe Georgia's laws on this. You should also survey local schools, reporting their practices. Schools easily do more than what the law requires.

Next years Cards
The Cards ahve release James, LaBoy, and Hood. It is unfourtunate but that is the way things go. Our draft choices should have been a for shadowing of what was to come. The drafting of 2 RB was clear that James was going to traded or released. Wells is to replace James and Larod should be able to replace JJ as an RB and in kick returning duties. We drasfted a CB and a S, so someone from the back feild was going to be leaving. Plus we picked up Mcfadden . Laboy has to be the biggest shock of the group. He just signed a nice contract not long ago.
The fact that James is gone, means Wells and the big H will have to step up. My feelings are mixed with Wells. On one hand he is a great RB with speed, vision and agility. On the other he has problems with health and he comes from the big ten, a run it down your throat kinda of game play. Ohio st has a p[assing game but they are a running team. I see Wells as not being happen in AZ after a season or two depending on the time he gets in the back feild. Luckly we were ably to get the SEC defensive player of the year from last year, but the SS and FS possitions are pretty strong with Willson and Rolle starting. I think the pick of Johnson was a depth pick for Willson who might be getting close to retiring in a few seasons.
More to come!!!

Will N-L endorse Long?
The editorial board for this newspaper once chided Rep. Billy Long for threatening to not raise the debt limit, but later endorsed Long for re-election since Long now proclaims himself a "pragmatic conservative." Since Long voted "no" on a compromise that ended a government shutdown and saved government from a breach of the debt ceiling, will this newspaper's editorial board hold to its principal beliefs on the debt limit and endorse someone other than Billy Long to represent Missouri's Seventh District in 2014?

My original 85 1.8 went back to the dealer some months back due to massive back focus. We are talking about 50m at 50m, despite the image looking sharp through the VF. Close subjects at, say, 1m were completely blurry on film despite being sharp in the VF. I tested the lens on two digi bodies and same issue. I am talking wildly not even remotely in focus...
Now I have my second copy from the same dealer. It is smack on at portrait distances and surprisingly sharp at 1.8, gaining contract and resolution a stop down. However, the further the focus distance the more back focus starts to creep in. This is the same as the lat example but not nearly so bad!
I tried comparing manual focus and AF and found that results, oddly, were a hair sharper in MF; however, this did not change the appearance of growing back focus with distance.
At distance, say 15m, the lens will show sharp on centre in the VF but in fact be obviously very soft on film at 1.8 and still soft at f2.8/4, with actual focus somewhere behind (at about two metres behind the subject it is RAZOR sharp). The left side of the frame also appears sharper than the right at distance at the wider apertures. I have shot some subjects where - and I cannot get my head round this - sharpness appears at various points in the frame that appear unrelated to the plane of focus (i.e. focus a 50m. Centre soft as hell even at a stop down. Right side (parallel to focal point) even softer. Left centre (once again parallel to focus point, pretty sharp), lower left not bad, lower right, soft as hell, infinity about the same across the frame an much better than the point of focus! I am baffled. I have never had an issue with a canon lens before (apart from the last 85 1.8). I have many other brands for all formats and apart from a dodgy CV 21P which was massively decentered in a single plane, have not seen such gross errors with lens peformance. In this case its like a LF camera with swings and tilts I cannot make sense of (like subtle, multiple decentering AND back focus at distance)
How can the lens be pin sharp at 1m and then back focusing terribly at distance? Is this normal? At about 3m and wide open, I estimate about six inches of back focus, which is only nullified by stopping down to about F8!
Do you think there was just a bad batch of lenses? I assume the lens should perform very well at distance, despite being primarily used for portraits up close. I have not had such issues with their cheaper zooms, or L lenses. All have been great, focusing accurately throughout the range. This one is amazingly good at 1m but unusable at less than f5.6/f8 at medium and longer distances, requiring DOF to make up for back focus.
I am very confident it is not the body. This body performs spectacularly with my 70-200 f4, 135 f2L etc at ALL distances.
Any thoughts? Rapidly losing confidence in Canon here. I desperately need this FL/speed for a project (in progress) and have already missed shots because I had to send the last one back. Am I really going to have to spend $1900 on the 85 1.2 to get a lens that works as it is supposed to?
Sorry for the rant... V frustrated, annoyed, confused...

Quinto And Burk On 'Reframed' 'Star Trek'
As reported by TrekMovie.com, as seen in SFX, many terms have been bandied about when it comes to describing the new Star Trek movie, and Zachary Quinto came up with yet another one. When asked if the objective was to reinvigorate Star Trek, Quinto said, "I think it is. I think it's to reframe a franchise whose genesis had incredible foresight. It was a very prescient series, ahead of its time, and it had so much social relevance when it first came on the air. It's about taking the integrity of that and reframing it for today's world, which is obviously vastly different from the world of forty years ago."
It's up to fans to support this effort to restart Star Trek though. "Once it's released into the Zeitgeist, then it's not up to us," said Quinto. "I hope people respond in a way that gives these characters and this story some more life but that's something that will only reveal itself once the movie is released."
Executive Producer Bryan Burk agreed with Quinto's sentiments. "If enough people go and see the movie, hopefully the franchise will continue. That's the plan and that's the hope. Having seen the movie, everyone here says this feels like a big summer movie."
Eager fans may see a new trailer for Star Trek XI by the end of the year according to Roberto Orci as reported by IESB. When asked when would fans be able to see the new Star Trek XI trailer, Orci said, "Before Christmas sometime I think."

Ironic, we get the trailer at the time we were originally supposed to get the movie. I wonder when they would've released the trailer if TPTB hadn't changed it to a summer movie?

Re: Quinto And Burk On 'Reframed' 'Star Trek'
Yet, all of this secrecy is the type of thing that studios normally look to avoid when it comes to their movies. The more publicity the better.
Once again, the ONLY buzz that has been around this movie has been on Star Trek boards. And, that buzz has been extremely monotonous.
If this movie is as close to being done as they claim it is, they would be revving up the hype machine for this $150m movie and never let up until it was released.
I know I tend to be a cynic. But, more often than not, if somebody wants to avoid telling me about something until the very last minute, it's because they think there's something about it I won't like.
Nobody every waits to tell people something good.

Re: Quinto And Burk On 'Reframed' 'Star Trek'
I plan on getting excited when I'm at the theator. Until then, there's no point in worrying about it. Fans will see it, hype or no hype. For everyone else, hyping it too soon won't do enough to justify the cost.
We'll get a trailer around xmas (that's still 5 months ahead of the release) and then a hype machine will slowly build starting next year probably.
It's all good.
Sorry, my signature costs $80, fanboys.

Ten dollars?! That's what it cost to go to a movie?

"Some guys at the local tire center saw me wearing mine, and asked if I could make GreenJeans in blue, to match their uniform..." says Dan Vorhis, the inventor of the chaps. Vorhis lives and works on Whidbey Island, about 30 miles north of Seattle.
"The guys were afraid they might get in trouble if they wore green. So we made up a custom pair. They actually look pretty good in blue. And the guys loved them." says Vorhis.
"Kneeling on concrete all day is absolutely no fun, but our chaps give a real nice cushion. And they provide an extra layer of warmth." That extra layer can be a welcome feature in an open bay in winter.
Word began to get around.
"One of the managers of another tire store actually stopped by my house, wanting GreenJeans for his crew. I had to order more blue fabric."
Vorhis says that chaps with knee pads make sense because his knee pads hang from the waist, and aren't cinched around the knee like other knee pads, so there is no uncomfortable binding. And the 1000 denier nylon fabric is incredibly wear resistant.
"Our fabric is about 50 to 90 times more resistant to abrasion than heavy denim. You get the toughness up front where you need it, and breathability because they are open in back. Pants made entirely of this fabric would be too hot to wear."
But do you still call them "GreenJeans"
"I've toyed with changing the name, to 'Utility Chaps' or some such," says Vorhis,
"...but that might confuse folks. For now we'll keep calling them GreenJeans. After all, it was the landscapers and gardeners who got us started."
GreenJeans chaps come in four sizes and cost $52.00, which includes shipping within the continental U.S. They are available at the Muscle And Arm farm website: http://www.MuscleAndArmFarm.com

About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

COVINGTON - The Newton County Board of Education voted at its Tuesday work session on the names of the new elementary and middle schools being built on Salem Road.The board members unanimously approved South Salem Elementary School and Liberty Middle School as the names. Board member Cathy Dobbs made the motion for South Salem. "I think it's important to recognize and honor the community of Salem that has been a part of the community for a long time," she said. Dobbs said she thought South Salem, rather than Salem, would help reduce confusion from Salem High School and any Rockdale schools. Vice Chair Rickie Corley suggested the name for Liberty Middle School. "Liberty represents freedom and choices, and we have that in our schools," he said. In early November, the Newton County School System asked community members to send in their choices for school names. In December, the board announced that it received about 25 names from community suggestions, including South Salem, Mills Creek, Cowan-Mills and T.K. Adams for the elementary school, Timber Ridge for the middle school and Salem, Twin Towers and Bailey Oaks for both schools. "I was really disappointed in the choices we had," said board member Cathy Dobbs at December's meeting. "Personally, I was disappointed in the lack of participation." At January's work session, board members chose names, which didn't have to be on the list submitted by the community, and said they would vote on those choices at January's board meeting; however the vote was tabled at the January meeting. "I think we need to take a little more time. We want to make sure we do the right thing," said board member Cathy Dobbs at January's meeting, when they tabled the vote. The elementary school is scheduled to open in time for the 2008-09 school year, and the middle school is scheduled to open for the 2009-10 school year. In other Newton BOE news, the board approved Tuesday the resignation of Joe Gheesling, principal of Newton High School, effective May 31. Gheesling announced Tuesday that this school year would be his last at Newton High School; he accepted a position of principal at North Hall High School in Gainesville for the 2008-09 school year. "Mr. Gheesling has served admirably the students and staff of Newton High," according to a press statement released by NCSS after Tuesday's meeting. "He is a very principled leader who cares about his students' achievement, their success and the performance of his staff. He will be missed." NCSS also announced that Dennis Carpenter would begin his duties as associate superintendent for Human Resources at NCSS pending his release from Appling County Schools. Donald Dunnigan announced his resignation as associate superintendent for Human Resources at NCSS in January to accept a position in another school district. Carpenter is currently assistant superintendent for Support Services for Appling County Schools and served as a fourth-grade teacher, assistant principal and principal before that. "Mr. Carpenter is an intelligent, enthusiastic educator with the administrative and leadership ability to manage the Human Resources Division," according to a press statement from NCSS Tuesday. "His professional knowledge and competencies and his personal characteristics will enable him to lead us in the recruitment, employment and retention of a competent staff." Michelle Floyd can be reached at email@example.com.

The Stump is a new feature of the Cherry Tree website, where you can listen to audio recordings of contributors reading their work aloud.
Earlier this spring, we decided to ask our inaugural issue contributors to record themselves reading their pieces from the issue for us to post on the Cherry Tree website. Since we are a print-only publication, our editor thought that this would be a wonderful way to share free samples of the issue and for readers to experience that work in a different light. You get to hear the writer's voice. You get to hear how the writer intended the work to be read. You get feel closer to the writer whose work you admire.
The Stump is a platform where our fantastic contributors can stand to read their work to a wider web audience. Right now, our Stump line-up is Juliana Gray, Laura Madeline Wiseman, Matthew Lippman, and Pamela Hart. We will add even more recordings in the months to come. Maybe, if you are intrigued enough by the pieces you hear, you will even decide to subscribe to Cherry Tree.
So grab a seat by the stump. Dig your toes into the warm grass. Close your eyes. Listen up.
April 27
Editor Jehanne Dubrow interviews Jeannine Hall Gailey, a contributor to the inaugural issue of Cherry Tree. In her latest poetry collection, The Robot Scientist's Daughter (Mayapple Press, 2015), Jeannine Hall Gailey examines the impact of nuclear research on the American landscape, family history, and the self. The book makes science intimate and personal, close as a father, the history of the atom a frightening fairy tale told to a little girl at bedtime.
1. Your poetry collection begins with a beautiful essay about overlapping themes in The Robot Scientist's Daughter: the Tennessee countryside, your father's work as a scientist and professor, and the potential risks of nuclear research. Was this essay part of the original draft of your manuscript? Or, did you decide—in collaborating with your editor at Mayapple Press—that the book needed this piece of prose?
JHG: The essay was written after the manuscript was ready for publication, actually. I had read a few author's notes to books that I'd been reading, and although I'd included footnotes in previous books, I'd never included an author's note. I thought the subject matter was important enough that I should probably explain some things in prose at the beginning of the book – things like, a little history about Oak Ridge, a little about nuclear pollution, and some of the details of my childhood, that kind of thing.
2. With poems like "Cesium Burns Blue," "Iodine-131," and "'Now I Am Become Death'" you merge science and lyricism. What strategies do you use for incorporating scientific language (not to mention actual scientific facts) in your poems, while preserving their musicality and narrative compression?
JHG: I've been balancing scientific language with imagery and more consciously lyrical/musical language since my very first poetry workshop in my MA workshop in my early twenties, when I brought in a poem to workshop that included words like "sentry enzymes." The large Latinate words that accompany any science vocabulary are not, themselves, easy to read or easy to fit effortlessly into poetry, so it takes some conscious kajiggering to balance the scientific terminology – which I didn't want to sacrifice – with poetic devices like alliteration, syllabics, and internal rhyme.
3. The Robot Scientist's Daughter also explores the intersection of the natural world and the high-gloss, metallic realm of the laboratory. You give us foxfire and Geiger counters, mountainsides and test tubes. How do you see these two landscapes enacted in your poems? Why show us both?
JHG: Well, the fun/ominous part of Oak Ridge National Laboratories is that it's an incredibly sophisticated nuclear research center – which you might not even notice if you drove past it, because of the dense woods, agricultural landscape surrounding it, etc. My childhood was literally one of gathering flowers in the yard and then coming in and "helping" my Dad with the robot arm in the basement, or trying out a few lines of code. In college for my B.S. I studied Biology, and I was fascinated then too with the juxtaposition of the beautiful and the horrifying, like a jar of tiny fetal pigs sitting out, or the strange, almost-but-not-quite-baking-like smells of cinnamaldehyde we made in the lab.
4. Woven throughout your collection is a series of poems titled "The Robot Scientist's Daughter," each one containing different bracketed information, such "[medical wonder]," "[experiments in sleep deprivation]," and "[ghost in the machine]." This series is clearly the anchor of the collection. Did you write these poems first and then build the rest of book around them? And how did you find the third-person voice of these poems, which seems a mixture of autobiography and mythology?
JHG: Some of the poems in this book were written years before the "Robot Scientist's Daughter" poems, and the "Robot Scientist's Daughter" poems really were just a trio of poems for a long time, that I didn't think about making into a larger series. So the poems sort of grew together organically. When I first put the collection together, too, I saw that I would need some poems that filled in the gaps of the history of Oak Ridge, the descriptions of Knoxville and its environs, a little about my own autobiography – those poems probably came in the latest.
As far as the voice – well, if you've read my other three books, you know the mode I'm most comfortable writing in and have the most fun with is persona poetry, so I kind of tried to create a persona that was sort of me but not quite me, which allowed me to mix personal details with science fiction, fantasy, mythology, history, etc. I also think those poems were probably still, like my second book, She Returns to the Floating World, highly influenced by Japanese anime, particularly the movies of Hayao Miyazaki. That guy really is one of my continuing muses!
5. Ekphrasis plays an important role in this collection. There are poems inspired by movies and photography (there's also a great poem that engages with W.H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts"). How does ekphrasis serve you when you're writing a book-length series of poems? Why turn to other art forms or other artists?
JHG: Yes, I'd say almost all my books have some elements of ekphrastic poetry in them – simply because many times I'm inspired by "things" – comics, anime, scientific news articles, visual art, a song, a short story – and the poems definitely reflect that. External stimuli often "knock" poems out of me. I do think it's important that poetry is in conversation with other art forms and with "real world" objects that people can relate easily to – say, television shows or comic books. Sometimes people think of poetry as so rarified, difficult to access – but those same people can walk up to a visual art piece or listen to music and immediately access it. They don't think of those art forms as "rarified." I want my poems to have that sense of immediacy, and also have some sense of involvement in the world. As a poet, I want people to know I'm not sitting in a garden with a quill pen listening for a muse or something; I'm doing the same things they are – dealing with traffic, listening to the news, trying to re-write last night's episode of The Vampire Diaries so it makes more sense…

Cherry Tree and the Literary House Press are counting down to the 2015 AWP Conference & Bookfair, which this year will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from April 8-11. We will be at the Rose O'Neill Literary House table in the Bookfair: table 1724.
Last year at this time, we were still in the planning stages for our brand-new national literary journal Cherry Tree. We brought flyers with us to the 2014 Conference in Seattle that we handed out at the Rose O'Neill Literary House table in the Bookfair, detailing our mission statement and when we would open for our first round of general submissions. Cherry Tree was just an idea then, with no tangible presence.
But this year will be a big one for us at the AWP Conference. This year Cherry Tree is a real thing. This year we have shelves full of gorgeous copies of our Inaugural Issue. This year we have a pretty and practical Cherry Tree tote bag for accessorizing swag. And this is a hefty tote bag. Planning to buy 100 pounds of books during the Bookfair? You can fit 38 copies of Cherry Tree's inaugural issue in this beautiful canvas tote (seriously, I just checked).
At table 1724 in the AWP Bookfair in the Minneapolis Convention Center, we will have the following special Conference-only offers:
- Special AWP Offer: $10 ea. for copies of the inaugural issue (normally $14 one-year subscription price)
- Buy a two-year subscription, get a free tote bag! Two-year subscriptions are only $25, and include the inaugural issue & our upcoming 2016 issue. Tote bags will also be sold individually at $12 ea.
We will also have all of our other Literary House Press book and broadside publications, including the new perfume-inspired poetry anthology The Book of Scented Things.
But the cherry on top of this year's Conference will be the official Cherry Tree Launch Party we are hosting on Thursday, April 9 at 7:00PM at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, 1300 Nicollet Mall. We will be celebrating the release of the inaugural issue of our brand-new literary journal in style with readings by contributors Juliana Gray, Dore Kiesselbach, Bruce Snider, and Laura Madeline Wiseman! There will also be a generous spread of tasty refreshments (including an open bar), a sale & signing of the issue, and good literary conversation. We would like to invite all of you to join us for this very special event, if you can make it! If you can, please RSVP to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are gearing up for an incredible AWP Conference in Minneapolis. Please come out to see us and say hello!
February 13
Literary House Press Intern, Nicolas Anstett, takes an analytical look at the inaugural issue of Cherry Tree: A National Literary Journal @ Washington College. The issue will be released on February 15, 2015.
George Washington stares blankly back at you through the cover of the inaugural issue of Cherry Tree. Trapped within the confines of a crinkled one-dollar bill, Washington sits captured in American iconography. It is hard to think of a more fitting cover for Cherry Tree's first foray into the national literary landscape. It simultaneously captures the many elements that make this magazine and inaugural issue so unique: a commitment to history, creation and evolution of the American myth, the mundane and personal, but also the lyrically beautiful. Through the works of an eclectic grouping of writers Cherry Tree has created something personal, but also carries with it the weight of truth and myth.
Cherry Tree's inaugural issue almost reads like a three act play, separating itself into interconnected but thematically different acts. It begins with a celebration of past and text. Leslie Harrison, Christine Stewart-Nuñez, and Moira Egan structure lyric ekphrastic poems engaged with the writings of Emily Dickinson and a watercolor painting by Madeline Ritz, illuminated manuscripts, and the paintings of Suzanne Valadon. Similarly, Anna Journey constructs her lyric nonfiction essay "On the Back of a Flying Fish, Dear Sister" as an examination of found text, in this case a postcard shared between two women. Like the dollar it adorns on its cover, Cherry Tree begins with an exchange of artifacts that allow for a human examination of the past and the emotions hidden in words and image.
From here, Cherry Tree transitions into its second act: a formation of the American myth through pop culture and contemporary pathos. It slices its way into the proceedings with Gabrielle Hovendon's unnerving piece of magical realist fiction, "When We Were Dissected." Here Phoebe Reeves, Laura Madeline Wiseman, Matthew Lippman, and Bruce Snider intersect ruminations on gender, cultural protest, workplace boredom, and parenthood with images of fast food chains, digitally-rendered monsters, Nicholas Sparks, and sperm banks. John Vanderslice's work of fiction "Something for Dinner" surrounds race, religion, class, and post-colonialism in a disarming local tourist trap that helps further Cherry Tree's regional identity. It's a creation of the contemporary American myth that adds the smudged fingerprints and torn edges to the green paper cover.
Through Betty Jo Buro's nonfiction essay concerning pregnancy and the tribulations of motherhood "The Road from Emmaus," the texts transition into the issue's final act. Here the lyricism of the early works combines with the grit and immediacy of its second act to create a blend of personal but stylistically musical works of nonfiction and poetry. Julie Marie Wade examines the relationship between her mother and her visual impairment in "Lazy Eye." Jericho Brown's "Atlantis" views his experience with gender politics through the lens of New Orleans. In the end, Charlie Clark's "Dead American Christmas Ghazal" closes us out, proclaiming, "It is difficult to picture the dead as nothing / Even this long after they are gone."
Cherry Tree is a socially and lyrically aware furthering of the American myth and follows suit on its mission statement of finding truth. Like currency, it passes its baton through dozens of writers of varying sex, gender, race, class, and literary schooling. The result is something that impresses through craft, emotion, and humanity.

After a lot of hard work, our very first issue is headed to print. Get a sneak peek at the cover and specially selected excerpts from the issue!
We have finally completed all layout, design, and editing work for the inaugural issue of Cherry Tree: A National Literary Journal @ Washington College. After weeks of painstaking proofreading, we think the text is practically perfect (in every way, as Mary Poppins would say). And like Mary Poppins, the simple but stunning cover we're unveiling today says a lot with such a very little. It is an image we all know well, but we hope that altering it slightly and making it larger than life on the front of this issue makes it new again and worth paying attention to. George will be making appearances throughout the issues to come as well, but with a difference. We do love him so.
And you can now read a small sampling of select poems by Leslie Harrison, Bruce Snider, and Jericho Brown; a fiction excerpt from Stephanie Dickinson's short story; and a brief creative nonfiction essay by Anna Journey over at our "Work We Love" page under the Submissions tab! Get a taste for the upcoming issue and then order a subscription to read the entire fantastic journal. Subscription prices are still $14 for a year (one issue) and $25 for two years (two issues). The final printed beauty will be available beginning February 15!

In the meantime, we've been working our butts off to get all of the infrastructure in place, so that we are able to produce one of the most beautiful inaugural issues you have ever seen. Speaking of which, here's the gorgeous logo that Washington College's Director of Visual Arts in the Office of College Relations, James Arnold, created for us:
Our first annual issue will be released on February 15, 2015 and we will be debuting it in all its printed glory at the 2015 AWP Conference in Minneapolis.

TeratogensTeratogens are substances found the in the environment that can cause a birth defect. There are many different teratogens, and some are listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.
TeratogensDescriptionA teratogen is any medication, chemical, infectious disease, or environmental agent that might interfere with the normal development of a foetus and result in the loss of a pregnancy , a birth defect , or a pregnancy complication .
TeratogensAlthough the embryo is well protected in the uterus, certain agents, called teratogens may cause congenital malformations when structures are developing. A teratogen is any agent that causes a structural abnormality following foetal exposure during pregnancy.

Some chemicals are ~~birth defects. But a lot depends on how often and how much you're exposed to them. The fact is, we're quite likely to come across some type of teratogenic substance in our day-to-day lives.

I have a document which says, "Regio Esercito Italiado" and 3 Reggimento Fanteria" on the 2nd page of the document, with dates 1886 to 1909 there are sections for " State civile, contrassegni personali, arte e grdo d'instruzione, arruolamento e prima venuta alle armi, trasferimenti di corpo durante il servizio e data dell ultimo grado"
If this pertains to the military, can anyone tell me more?
Thank you!
Is this a military document?
Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!

Re: Is this a military document?
It looks like it is part of an Italian soldier army record. If you know tyo whom it relates and their town of oriign or province, you can obtain the full record;be it conscription, service in peace or war record, campaigns, medals, wounds and/or discharge information. The only prerequisite is that the record is made public after 75 years. =Peter=
Re: Is this a military document?
This confirms what I thought about the document. I have a photograph of a man in a military uniform and the document was also found in the same house. I believe they go together now - dates seem to work.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
Re: Is this a military document?
if the first page of the document is like the abobe sheet is a " Foglio di Congedo assoluto" or "certificate of discharge"

I'm searching lost relatives and descendant of my greatgrandfather Vincenzo Genualdi (or Gennaldi or Genuardi) and my greatgrandmother Concetta Davola (their sons: Angela, Carmela, Antonio, Bartolomeo, Ernesto, Simone, Riccardo, Maria) went in Chicago,Ill., and New Orleans, in 1880-1920 from Sicily. Other family related : Jacobucci or Jacopucci (from Central Italy).
Re: Is this a military document?
Yes, thank you - I have two documents and one does look just like the one you have posted.

I took FRER last week (period was due yesterday and I'm usually like clockwork 28 day cycle). Negative. Took Answer test over the weekend due to nausea, negative. Took FRER yesterday, negative.
Meanwhile, I'm exhausted (I've been pregnant 3 times in my life, I only nap in the afternoons when pregnant) and I'm back to the napping. My breasts are sore and nausea comes and goes. I've also had some cramping in my right side (I've been wearing a pad thinking AF was coming). I remember when I was pregnant with my son I did the same.
I am also gagging while brushing my teeth and gums are bleeding (all only happen when I'm pregnant). During my showers I check my cervix, no blood. No sign of AF. I have my normal headaches and sore lower back.
Tomorrow is trash day so I was taking the bathroom garbage out and noticed the test I took last week was positive. The test from yesterday is still negative. I have no other tests (and it's getting sort of expensive) but this is probably just a chemical reaction, right?!

Twitter: so few characters, so much confusion.
Filled with "@" signs, "#" symbols, "RTs" and "MTs," Twitter timelines can look like baffling algebra equations to those unfamiliar with the lingo. The differences between DMs and RTs are anything but obvious for newbies, while deciphering the limitations of "@replies" and the etiquette of hashtags presents its own host of challenges.
Though the microblogging service, which now claims over 100 million active users who send more than 230 million tweets per day, offers fewer bells and whistles than many other social networking sites, Twitter's rules, features, tricks and exceptions can be bewildering -- just ask Anthony Weiner.
We've put together a Twitter explainer that walks you through everything you always wanted to know about Twitter tools, but were afraid to ask.
Are there other things you just don't get about Twitter? More features you find confusing? Tweet your Twitter headaches to @bbosker. For more on using Twitter, check out our guide to 23 tools to help you tweet like a pro, as well as our story on "Twitter 101" for Twitter newbies.
One of the most confusing features for Twitter newbies, the "@reply" has befuddled thousands of users perplexed by when to use the feature, how it works, and who sees the tweets. As its name suggests, the "@reply" function allows users to reply to other Twitterer's tweets with questions, comments, responses and the like. It consists of a tweet that begins with another user's Twitter handle. For example, sending a tweet that reads "@HuffPostTech love your story about Twitter tips!" would count as an @reply. @Replies are public, but there's a catch: If you send a tweet that begins with an @reply, it will not be visible to all of your followers, but only the subsection of your followers that follow both you AND the person you've sent a reply to. For example, if @HuffingtonPost tweets, "@HuffPostTech has a great article about Twitter," only people that follow @HuffingtonPost AND @HuffPostTech will see the messages. In Twitter's words, "People will only see others' replies in their home timeline if they are following both the sender and recipient of the update." For this reason, @replies are frequently used as a way of communicating between Twitter users and eliminates from people's timelines tweets that may only be interesting to a subset of followers. An @reply falls within a broader category of "Mentions," which Twitter defines as "any Twitter update that contains @username anywhere in the body of the Tweet." To send an @reply, you can either click the blue "Reply" link that appears when you mouse over a tweet, or compose a tweet as you normally would and begin it with the user's Twitter handle. If you'd like to lead a tweet with a Twitter username (as @MGrooves has done in the screenshot above) but share it with all your followers, add another character, such as a period, quotation mark or colon, before the username to ensure it's seen by all.
In the most basic terms, a Twitter hashtag is any term or phrase preceded by the "#" symbol. Anyone can create a hashtag and anyone can use a hashtag, which can appear anywhere in a tweet. Twitter notes that hashtags were "created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages," and indeed many tag their tweets with a hashtag tied to a timely event so that searches for that hashtag will turn up their tweets. People tweeting updates from an event, such as a press conference or panel discussion, often tag their tweets with a hashtag (i.e. "#TED2011" "#LetsTalkiPhone" or "#f8") to indicate the source or topic of their tweets, while others might include a hashtag that stems from an issue in the news (i.e. "#OccupyWallStreet" or "#Euro"). But hashtags have taken on a life of their own and have a been used for more playful purposes as well. Many users include funny, ironic or sarcastic hashtags as a way of adding color and commentary to their tweets. "#Humblebrag" has become a Twitter classic, as have hashtags such as "#sorrynotsorry" and "#fml." The New Yorker's Susan Orlean described the more colorful usage of hashtags as follows: This usage totally subverts the original purpose of the hashtag, since the likelihood of anyone searching the term "Iwouldratherhaveamoose" is next to zero. But that isn't the point. This particular hashtaggery is weirdly amusing, because, for some reason, starting any phrase with a hashtag makes it look like it's being muttered into a handkerchief; when you read it you feel like you've had an intimate moment in which the writer leaned over and whispered "I would rather have a moose!" in your ear. Twitter advises that "best practices recommend using no more than 3 hashtags per Tweet."
Ever liked a tweet, but didn't want to share it with all your followers by retweeting it? The "Favorite" tool could be for you. Twitter gives users the ability to favorite a post by clicking the "Favorite" button that appears when mousing over a tweet. Other Twitter users will be able to see the tweets you've favorited (and vice versa), and the Twitter user who sent the tweet you favorited will also see that you've given her tweet a thumbs up. To see who's favorited your tweets, navigate to the "@Connect" tab in the new version of Twitter, then click "Interactions," which appears in the top left-hand side of the page. Twitter engineer Andres Ornelas offers a succinct explanation of why someone might choose to favorite a tweet: "Marking a tweet as Favorite is a great way to tell the author you enjoyed their tweet. If you think your followers will too, then Retweet!" he wrote on Twitter.
Twitter offers two ways of retweeting, or sharing another user's tweet with your own followers: There's the official retweet button, which is built into Twitter's web and app interface and doesn't allow Twitterers to add their own context to the retweeted tweet; or there's the manual "RT," short for "retweet," that is more clumsy, but enables users to add to the text of the retweeted tweet. To automatically retweet the entirety of someone else's tweet, without including any text of your own, hover your mouse over the tweet and click the "Retweet" button that appears. You'll see a pop-up asking if you'd like to "Retweet this to your followers," which you can do by clicking the blue "Retweet" box. The resulting retweet will feature the original tweeter's profile picture and Twitter handle in people's timelines, while your name will appear in gray text below the post (i.e. in the screenshot shown above, the text reads "Retweeted by Bianca Bosker.") Then there's the classic "RT": If you want to retweet another post while also including your own comment, question, hashtag or link (or anything else, for that matter), you'll need to manually type in "RT," followed by the Twitter handle of the person you're retweeting, and paste in the text of their original tweet. According to Twitter convention, users should write "RT @[Twitter handle]: [text of the tweet]." MT, short for "modified tweet," is sometimes substituted for "RT" to indicate the original tweet has been altered.
Your friend tweeted something hilarious, and you're dying to send it to your roomates. Only problem is, you can't figure out how to get a link to the specific tweet. Here's what you can do to get the URL for an individual tweet: hover your mouse over the tweet, click "Open," and then click "Details," which appears in gray just above the row of blue "Reply," "Retweet," and "Favorite" buttons. Doing so will open up the tweet, and you can grab the link from your web browser.
In an effort to reap a profit from its more than 100 million active users, Twitter has been experimenting with adding new, and more plentiful, forms of advertising on its site. Promoted Trends, Promoted Accounts and Promoted Tweets are three types of sponsored content to be aware of on Twitter. Advertisers pay Twitter in exchange for having their Twitter account, tweets or choice of trending topic (such the hashtag "#BigMac") featured on prime Twitter real estate. As Twitter explains, Promoted Tweets are "ordinary Tweets purchased by advertisers who want to reach a wider group of users or to spark engagement from their existing followers." Trending topics, accounts and tweets that have been paid for by advertisers are designated by the term "Promoted" and a small yellow box with a white arrow at its center.
Direct Messages are private messages up to 140 characters in length that can be sent between two users on Twitter. Take note of a few limitations, however. First, Direct Messages can only be sent to users who are following you. If person A wants to send a Direct Message (a.k.a. a "DM") to person B, she can do so only if person B is following person A. Second, Direct Messages are private in theory, but frequently public in practice. Rep. Anthony Weiner's career-wrecking Twitter message appears to have been the result of a DM-gone-wrong -- a direct message that was posted incorrectly and became public instead of staying private. Charlie Sheen recently tried to send a Direct Message to Justin Bieber containing his cellphone number, but instead posted it to his millions of Twitter followers and reportedly received 1,800 text messages within a matter of minutes.

Ok my ds hasn't had his 6 mnth appointment yet, but was weighed just a week before he turned 6 months, and he weighed 12 lbs 14 oz. He was 3 lbs 5 oz at birth, so he's tripled his birth weight, of course he was a preemie, so that makes a difference!! I think he's tiny, but I love it!!
My LO hasn't had her 6 month checkup yet (it's on Jan. 4th) but yesterday she weighed 12 lbs on our scale. She is petite!
Happily married to Jason since 9/22/07
Mommy to Kendall Jo 6/27/08 & Hadley Renee 4/2/10

If you want to see Ron Paul watch MSNBC. Several interviews, coverage when he got second in Nevada, so forth. MSNBC seems to be the best media coverage if you like Ron Paul, an actual conservative.*
*I know Republicans how dare a conservative run for office
