In describing the state of sexuality in Victorian-era England, actress Beatrice Stella Campbell put it thusly: "It doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom, as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses."
But in 2014 America, your sexual activity has become everyone else's business, and it should be more than just the horses that object. Despite the common exhortations to "keep the government out of the bedroom," the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' rule forcing insurance plans to provide free contraceptives has made sex a very public act.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to grant closely held companies the ability to refuse to offer health insurance that covers what they consider to be abortion-inducing drugs, the contraceptive mandate has dominated the news. Conservatives have primarily defended the Hobby Lobby decision on the grounds that it is extremely narrow; they have had to spend most of their time fending off over-the-top charges that the decision denies women birth control (it does not) and that it forces religion on female employees (it does not).
But the debate over the fine print of the Hobby Lobby decision detracts from the more fundamental issue: Do we really need a contraceptive mandate at all?
Even asking such a question opens one up to being accused of having a centuries-old attitude toward the plight of women.
But eliminating the government-imposed free birth control mandate would take us all the way back to the stone ages of 2012, when businesses had the freedom, for the most part, to offer insurance plans that contained any number of options.
And in the less-enlightened era, known as "Barack Obama's entire first administration," it's not as though contraceptives were difficult to come across. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 85% of large insurance plans in 2010 already covered contraceptives, and 28 states currently require health plans to cover Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods.
And in most cases, the HHS mandate is more rigorous than what states were willing to accept. In 2009, state Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine) slipped a motion into the Wisconsin budget that required most insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives. However, that birth control coverage was still subject to cost-sharing, meaning even Wisconsin's most ardent legislative liberals figured it was fair for women to have to at least pay something for the coverage.
Not so with the Obamacare-enabled HHS mandate. In fact, the recent mandate is even too extreme for Obamacare itself. The bill that passed didn't create any contraceptive requirement; it only authorized HHS to do so. Thus, the requirement that birth control be not only offered but offered at no cost was never debated in Congress and instead was cooked up by a group of unelected bureaucrats. Several of the pro-life Democrats who handed Obamacare its very narrow victory in Congress have said they would have voted against the bill had it included the mandate.
Only the political fringes don't recognize the value in the availability of low-cost contraceptives. They prevent abortions, which it would seem to be a benefit upon which everyone can agree. And more than 1.5 million women take "the pill" for reasons other than pregnancy prevention. For these reasons, it seems Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposal to make birth control available over the counter has a lot of merit.
But mandating their free inclusion in health plans under the guise of "women's health" vaults contraceptives above other more necessary procedures. For instance, Obamacare has no vision care mandate for adults; walking into Lenscrafters and showing them a picture of Obama will get you exactly zero discount. Presumably, this is because vision advocates don't have hordes of protesters willing to join picket lines to preserve "visual health." (And they'd probably bump into each other a lot if they did.)
Further, people with sleep apnea need CPAP machines to help them breathe at night, otherwise they walk around all day like zombies. But there is no Obamacare free sleep apnea care mandate because, fortunately, zombies don't have lobbyists.
In the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision, polls show that Americans support a religious exemption from the mandate by a margin of 10 percentage points (49% to 39%). Further, a majority (47% to 43%) believe that companies shouldn't have to meet the contraceptive mandate for any other reason than "we don't feel like it."
But the bureaucracy at HHS feels differently. So when getting ready for your next romantic evening, turn on some music, light some candles and have plenty of breath spray on hand. But make sure you also leave enough room for Uncle Sam.

Use Database Subject Headings
Subject headings, thesauri and descriptors, also called "controlled vocabularies," are lists of pre-defined, carefully selected words and phrases that describe the general content
of a book, an article, an essay, or other information unit.
Each database has a unique list of controlled vocabularies. For example, in ATLA Religion database the indexes include "Author," "Scriptures," "Name as Subject," "Subjects All," and more.
As you search, use controlled vocabulary to browse related topics on your subject, get ideas on how to narrow a broaden topic
and get targeted, relevant results.
Find Books and eBooks
Search the library Catalog
When looking for books or ebooks, use broad keywords and subjects that identify your topic(s). Search a variety of fields, such as those listed below. Examples:
keyword search: eschatology and 21st century
author search: hebert david
subject: eschatology
keyword search: eschatology and 21st century
author search: hebert david

What You Should Know in Court About Child Custody in the State of Missouri
Personal experiences with the loss of an autistic child in court custody. Know what the eight custody guidelines the judge will rule from in the state of Missouri. Know hat your attorney should present on your behalf to the court.
In 2002, I lost custody of my autistic son. Although there was ample evidence to prove abuse and showed that his Fathers lack of support for his autism would cause him harm, the judge granted him full custody. That case was rejected for an appeal and I was left to pay up to ten thousand dollars to take it to the Missouri court of appeals..
That is what this article is about. To give you insight into how the courts , judge and your attorney deals with child custody cases. First, you should contact your states appellate court decisions, reading the cases to determine what are the guidelines for a custody decision that a judge should use to render a decision.
Arming yourself with this knowledge will prepare you in knowing if your attorney is acting in your best interest.In my case, my attorney, did not allow me to present witnesses as to my character and reputation. She said that
I did not need them. The decisions were based on the fact that my attorney did not provide needed witnesses and follow the eight guidelines for the Missouri child custody laws.
The Missouri court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
- The wishes of the child's parents as to custody and the proposed parenting plan submitted by both parties;
- The needs of the child for a frequent, continuing and meaningful relationship with both parents and the ability and willingness of parents to actively perform their functions as mother and father for the needs of the child;
- The interaction and interrelationship of the child with parents, siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
- Which parent is more likely to allow the child frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with the other parent;
- The child's adjustment to the child's home, school, and community;
- The mental and physical health of all individuals involved, including any history of abuse of any individuals involved. If the court finds that a pattern of domestic violence has occurred, and, if the court also finds that awarding custody to the abusive parent is in the best interest of the child, then the court shall enter written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Custody and visitation rights shall be ordered in a manner that best protects the child and any other child or children for whom the parent has custodial or visitation rights, and the parent or other family or household member who is the victim of domestic violence from any further harm;
- The intention of either parent to relocate the principal residence of the child; and
- The wishes of a child as to the child's custodian (from section 452.375 of the Missouri Revised Statue)
In the case of the parenting plan, do not assume that your attorney has the better plan,(for there are many to choose from) and that the plan is adequate enough. Get online and do some research to compare the plans. The parenting plan should way heavily on the judges decision. Do not just accept the attorneys plan as being the best proposal. Show the child is connected with family and community; This includes but not limited to showing by having witnesses that the child is involved in school and that you are there for him. Have your family members, grandparents testify to their interaction with child, this shows the judge that the child could suffer an emotional loss if taken from them.
Show church interaction, even having the members there to testify that they enjoy the child being apart of the church. Have all witnesses there to prove the your stability and the childs interactions in the community. If there is mental disorders, counseling records, have them there, and the counselor. Any professional witness presented by you and on your behalf, should way heavily on the decision and is suppose to over ride nonprofessional witnesses. If the other parent presents say a doctor that is not specialized in the area he is testifying for, you have the right to have them give an affidavit prior to their testimony.
These rules are similar in each state, however, I am limited to the State of Missouri. Be aware that cost can rise quickly and know when the attorneys are raising these up too quickly. Your attorney can keep these cost under control very quickly with filing certain things in their power. Keep in mind, Child Custody is expensive. Time can only heal a loss of custody if you can not afford to appeal. Settling out of court may the best option, time does seem to shift things in your favor, if you can not afford to pursue an expensive custody battle, wait for the right time or try mediation to resolve any issues. Children are greatly affected by these decisions and can cause long term emotional problems for some children.

'Norman is one of these performers that offers up something a little quirkier than the normal singer/songwriter stuff… a few yarns about things you'd never think to write about, a few animal puns, and a healthy dose of not taking yourself too seriously, mixed with a deep cohenesque vocal and some super catchy hooks.' (Hannah O'Reilly)
Norman Lamont has been delighting audiences on the Edinburgh songwriter scene since 1990. His trademarks are the diversity of his musical styles, emotionally honest lyrics and a droll sense of humour.
His 2004 album The Wolf Who Snared the Moon featured audience favourites like the award-winning Ballad of Bob Dylan and ranged in style from the epic strings of the title track to the haunting and mysterious atmosphere of A Forest Trail in Autumn. Between 2005 and 2007 he released two Romantic Fiction EPs, the second of which featured another stage favourite Nicole. In 2008 he produced the dark and moody collection called Roadblock. His 2010 release was Waveforms, an album of ambient instrumentals. In 2013 he offered his first Edinburgh Fringe show Stories My Killer Told Me.
A new collection of songs, All The Time in Heaven, came out in April 2014 – you can hear it here and he plays the Acoustic Music Centre at the Edinburgh Fringe on August 9, 10 and 11 (more about the Fringe show).
Reviews >>
What's your musical background? When I was a young child, the music in the house tended to be Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, the George Mitchell Singers and some Scottish traditional music, particularly Burns songs. I was about 10 when I started following the charts. I used to lie in my bed at night and sing the whole top 20 – vocal and intrumental parts – until silenced by my parents. As a teenager my musical heroes were at opposite ends of a very long pole – The Incredible String Band at one extreme and King Crimson at the other. Over the years I've tended to follow lyricists more than performers, particularly Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Lou Reed and particularly now The Handsome Family.
With The Wolf you had hardly any songs about love, then you put out the two Romantic Fiction EPs which you called 'you and I' CDs I didn't notice that about The Wolf until it was finished and was quite happy about that because I was sensitive about the way a 'you and I' song tends to sound as if it's autobiographical. But I realised I had a lot of good songs of that ilk in the back catalogue so the title Romantic Fiction was there to distance the characters from me. It seemed important at the time, doesn't really matter now.
The Wolf and Roadblock seem to touch on religious ideas without being specific. Do you have an agenda? No, I'm too much of a fan of 'oblique' writers for that. I've always liked the way Richard Thompson and Leonard Cohen write what seem to be love songs but can be interpreted as hymns or other spiritual expressions. It's a very old tradition and one I'd like to be part of. The songs Come With Me and Fingerpuppet both show the influence of Zen Buddhism.
What do you prefer – the live gig or the recording process? They both have their rewards and frustrations. More and more, though, I feel more of the frustrations when recording and get more of the reward when playing live.
You work in training for a big company. Do a SWOT analysis on Norman Lamont's music Strengths – melody, accessibility, depth, humour Weaknesses – overdiversification (like that's going to change!) Opportunities – the internet, the band Threats – too many excellent people in Edinburgh competing in the same market.
Why overdiversification? I don't get to like anything deeply without wanting to do it. Waveforms came out of my love of Robert Fripp's soundscapes. I enjoy playing bass so when people like Fiona Thom ask me to do that I'm always there. It all dilutes my focus on Norman songs but it's all music and I wouldn't be without it. Given more time I'd be doing traditional folk, cajun/bluegrass and old fashioned reggae on different nights.

Jovino Santos-Neto
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Seattle-based pianist, flutist, and composer Jovino Santos Neto continues to blur the boundaries between classical music, jazz, and indigenous Brazilian music. A member of Hermeto Pascoal's legendary band from 1977 to 1992, Santos Neto built a solid reputation as a creative and inspired musician, producer, and arranger.
He has worked with such artists as Sergio Mendes, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Mike Marshall, Gary Stroutsos and Richard Boukas. Santos Neto's 1997 debut solo album Caboclo featuring his compositions with the accompaniment of quartet members Hans Teuber (saxophones, flute), Chuck Deardorf (bass) and Mark Ivester (drums), was followed in 2000 by Live in Olympia and in 2003 Canto do Rio, the latter commissioned by Chamber Music America's New Works program and nominated for a 2004 Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album. His subsequent CD, Roda Carioca, was released in 2006 on Adventure Music and earned Santos Neto a second Latin Grammy nomination. His CD Alma do Nordeste (Soul of the Northeast), was inspired by the music of Northeastern Brazil. A duo CD with pianist Weber Iago, Live at Caramoor has received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2009. Santos Neto has received commissions from the International Association of Jazz Educators, the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), the Jack Straw Foundation, Seattle Arts Commission, Artist Trust and Meet the Composer. He was also the recipient of a Golden Ear Award as the Best Jazz Instrumentalist of the Pacific Northwest in 2004.

Mechatronics and Information Technology
Course of studies
Duration of study (semesters)4
Description of course of studiesStudents interested in natural sciences and technology have the opportunity to choose the Master's course of study in Mechatronics and Information Technology. The research-oriented focus of this course of study aims to explore the theoretical contexts of the complex Mechatronics and Information Technology specialty division as a whole. A specialization in technical knowledge, scientific methods and application scenarios allows students to work in fields with a stronger scientific focus, as well as further developing and designing their own areas of activity on an independent basis.
In particular, the course of study teaches an understanding of cross-references and encourages critical reflection on the issues and methodologies of the specialty divisions; it also focuses on a responsible, integrated abstraction of the application area for Mechatronics and Information Technology. An important goal in teaching these skills is to increase students' readiness for socially responsible engineering work.
The course of study is designed and offered jointly with the Faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and the Faculty for Computer Science, and represents an ideal combination of application-oriented mechanical engineering and modern information technology.

Research Tips
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects the change in prices charged for consumer goods and services. It is often used as an indication of the inflation and/or the "cost of living." The CPI calculated monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and announced on the 24th of the month following the month in question.
To find out exactly how the CPI is figured, see Labor Statistics Bureau Bulletin #2414 (BLS Handbook of Methods). Information is also posted on the BLS Web site (www.bls.gov/cpi/).
Current CPI Data: The most complete information for the U.S. is the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI Detailed Report. Information is also available on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Inflation & Prices page. Or you can get right to current info by viewing the latest Federal reserve release; if you just want to see the annual rate of change (i.e., inflation), go right to Table 3, which provides data for All Urban Consumers (a) in the U.S., (b) by region and (c) for selected cities.
Other sources of CPI information: Moderately complete, and moderately current, are statistics published in BNA's Daily Report for Executives or Labor Relations Reporter/Labor Relations Expediter (LRX *).
Historical CPI Data: If you just want to a list of the overall CPI figures for prior years, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis posts the CPI from 1913-Present. For more complete historical final CPI data, use the BLS's CPI Databases. For unadjusted data (i.e., what the BLS originally announced), you can look at the appropriate back issue(s) of the CPI Detailed Report, available back to 1994 through the Archived News Releases page, and possibly farther back in print in larger public and academic libraries. To get the inflation rate for a date range (e.g., 1870-1885), use the Inflation Rates calculator on the Measuringworth.com web site.
You can also find historical CPI data in the American Jurisprudence 2nd Desk Book and Volume 1, Tab 10, "Economic Background for Bargaining," in BNA's Collective Bargaining: Negotiations and Contracts.
Inflation Calculators: To calculate the effect of inflation on the relative buying power of money (e.g., How much would $10 in 1950 be worth today?), use the What is a Dollar Worth? calculator on the home page of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the CPI Inflation Calculator posted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Inflation Calculator or Measuringworth.com.
Foreign CPI Data: You can look up CPI data for foreign countries using Inflation Central by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The IMF's International Financial Statistics includes cost of living data for many countries. In addition, CPI data for foreign countries is available on Lexis in one of the Bloomberg libraries. Also, the U.N. publishes foreign CPIs as Table 50 of its Monthly Bulletin of Statistics, though the data in the current issue is generally a few years old. Measuringworth.com has CPI data for British Pounds. The last page of each issue of The Economist has a financial data chart with the inflation rate for the major world economies.

Live At NASA: Atlantis Set For 10:55 AM Departure
Blogger Update 11:02 a.m.: The 747 and Atlantis are taxiing for take-off at Edwards Air Force Base.
The orbiter Atlantis is scheduled to depart Edwards Air Force Base in California at 10:55 a.m. EDT and then head toward Fort Bliss at Biggs Army Airfield near El Paso, Texas.
NASA contractor technicians mounted the 122-foot-long spaceship atop a modified Boeing 747 jumbo jet Sunday and was scheduled to depart at first light today. Technicians, however, had difficulty with one of the bolts that holds the spacecraft onto the carrier aircraft.
You can track the flight by clicking the aircraft's tail number here: NASA911. And be sure to refresh this page for periodic updates.
Click here to see an interactive FLORIDA TODAY graphic showing the basics of a ferry flight.
Atlantis is scheduled to arrive at the Texas air base around 12:52 p.m. EDT.
The 1-hour, 57-minute flight is the first leg of a two-day crosscountry trip back to Kennedy Space Center, where the shuttle launched May 11 on NASA's fifth and final Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission.
Three consecutive days of stormy weather in central Florida forced NASA to divert Atlantis to Runway 22 at Edwards.
The earliest Atlantis would be back on Florida's Space Coast is Tuesday evening. Weather permitting, the 747 pilot might fly Atlantis over Space Coast beaches between Patrick Air Force Base and the shuttle runway at KSC.

I like my hometown, but I must admit that New York has problems: high taxes, noise, traffic. Forbes magazine just ranked my city the 16th most miserable in America. Ouch! Of course, that makes me wonder: What's America's most miserable city?
Cleveland, says Forbes. People call it "the Mistake by the Lake. " Cleveland, once America's sixth-largest city, has been going downhill for decades.
Why do some cities thrive while others decay? One reason is that some politicians smother their cities with the unintended consequences of their grand visions, while others have the good sense to limit government power.
In a state that already taxes its citizens heavily, Cleveland's politicians drown businesses in taxes.
One result: Since 2000, 50,000 people have left the city. Half of Cleveland's population has left since 1950.
But the politicians haven't learned. They still think government is the key to revitalization. While Indianapolis privatized services, Cleveland prefers state capitalism. It owns and operates a big grocery store, the West Side Market. Typical of government, it's open only four days a week, and two of those days it closes at 4 p.m. The city doesn't maintain the market very well. Despite those cost savings, the city manages tolose money running the market. It also loses money running golf courses -- $400,000 last year.
Another way that cities like Cleveland cause their own decline is through regulations that make building anything a long drawn-out affair. Cleveland has 22 different zoning designations and 673 pages of zoning guidelines.
By contrast, Houston has almost no zoning. This permits a mix of uses and styles that gives the city vitality. And the paperwork in Houston is so light that a business can get going in a single afternoon. In Cleveland, one politician bragged that he helped a business get though the red tape in "just 18 months."
Randall O'Toole, author of "The Best-Laid Plans: How Government Planning Harms Your Quality of Life, Your Pocketbook, and Your Future", says Houston does have rules, but they are more flexible and responsive to citizens' needs because they are set by neighborhood associations based on protective covenants written by developers.

In the 1959 All-Star Game in Pittsburgh, Willie Mays drilled a drive to deep right-centerfield. The Tigers' Harvey Kuenn, playing center, gave chase but couldn't get it.
Bob Stevens of the San Francisco Chronicle, who daily watched Mays make his case as the best all-around player in the game's history, sympathized with Kuenn. Stevens summed up the play this way:
"The only centerfielder in baseball who could have caught it just happened to hit it." ...

The Byrds drawled it best: So you wanna be a rock 'n' roll star? Then listen now, to what I say. Thanks Jim McGuinn, we'll take it from here. Or rather, Blue Bear School of Music's band workshops will. The school sets groups of about seven beginner-level musicians to practice cover songs (genres range from rock to country) for three months with a very patient teacher before they perform at Café Du Nord or Bottom of the Hill. Just don't let it go to your head. Back to McGuinn: the money, the fame, and the public acclaim. Don't forget what you are, you're a star.

Covenant Life School Reviews
By a Parent on
We've had two students enroll at Covenant Life. One of our children probably would have done well anywhere, but our other child has ADD and has benefited greatly from the caring, compassionate teachers. Not that it's been a walk in the park by any stretch... CLS academics are tough; this is definitely a college-prep school. However, my child has had a better experience here than I believe she would have had elsewhere, and the teachers, principals and office staff are kind and willing to work with you.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Cain gave up two runs over eight innings to guide the San Francisco Giants to an 8-2 win over the Atlanta Braves in the second of a four-game set at AT&T Park.
Cain (2-2) surrendered just three hits and two walks, while striking out seven to earn his second straight win.
"We needed a lot of length in the game tonight, and he did more than that. He gave us eight solid innings, and threw a terrific game for us," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Angel Pagan clubbed a two-run homer and Marco Scutaro added two hits and a pair of RBI for the Giants, winners in eight of their last 11 games. Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, Brandon Belt and Cain each added an RBI in the win.
Brian McCann hit a two-run homer to provide the only offense for the Braves, who lost for just the second time in six games.
Tim Hudson (4-2) was shelled for six runs on eight hits over just 3 2/3 innings to absorb the loss. It was Hudson's shortest outing of the season.
The Giants went up 6-0 in the fourth inning. With two on and no outs, Posey doubled to left to score Scutaro. Pence followed with an RBI single to plate Pablo Sandoval, and Belt's double scored Posey to make it a three-run game.
"It was a nightmare inning, obviously. I didn't make very good pitches to get the inning going, and then it seemed like when I needed a break here or there, some balls found some holes, they hit some balls that were tough plays, and we just had a hard time stopping the bleeding. A break didn't go our way, that's for sure," said Hudson.
Hudson intentionally walked Brandon Crawford to load the bases with one out, and Cain made him pay, slapping a base hit to right field to score Pence. Scutaro capped the inning with a two-run single to left field.
McCann's homer in the fifth with Dan Uggla made it a four-run game, but Pagan's two-run blast in the sixth pushed the Giants' lead to 8-2.
San Francisco went 6-for-10 with runners in scoring position ... Scutaro has
hit safely in 10 straight games ... The Giants are 15-0 when leading after
eight innings ... Hudson is 8-5 all-time against the Giants.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

The world watched with baited breath as Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian daredevil skydiver, launched himself off the platform of his capsule 24 miles above Earth in October.
A tense 9.03 minutes later, Baumgartner landed on his feet in a patch of land in New Mexico, raising his fists to the air in triumph.
The 43 year old broke several records in the process, smashing the previous best for the highest ever freefall and becoming the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound. At his peak, Baumgartner travelled at 833.9mph.
The stunt was seven years in the making and won't be his last daredevil moment in the sky - although he has set his sights a little lower. He also plans to marry his girlfriend, Nicole Oetl and split their time between America and Austria.
He said after the jump: "When I was standing there on top of the world so humble, you are not thinking about breaking records. I was thinking about coming back alive. You do not want to die in front of your parents and all these people. I thought 'please God, don't let me down."

I like playing games and developing maps and i hope to learn how to model characters one day. I also like alien vs predator a lot and i am hooked on the classic one. I also have left 4 dead 2 but i hate mapping with the tools.
does this make the same noises?
just like in avp requiem this will be good
wow predator will think twice before fighting one of these
that sounds very advanced how long did it take to make the models?
i hope it does not
this one looks meaner than that scrawny little alien cyborg
yes! this is so cool
so real
this looks very good i like the alien dropship it was in th efilm aliens yes?
ha ha predator ship
this looks nicer than that square that flew before
i have put marines in to with cheats but they don't follow me even when i tuant
yes that is right, predators are lone hunters and putting any in would kill the balance
yes i have avp2 and they are in it. o_O it must have taken long time to make that in avp
if the SUPREME predators don't kill them first
looking good
o_O he spelt it wrong lol. let's get in the beard-ship..
how to change picture on menu? you know when you want to select the map and then the preview it shows you?
wow halo mod i must try this.. well done
this looks very nice so far, i am a very big fan of avp.

Leland Stanford, Jr.

(aged 15)
Florence, Italy
|Known for
|Namesake of Stanford University
Leland Stanford, Jr. (May 14, 1868 – March 13, 1884), known as Leland DeWitt Stanford until age nine,[1] is the namesake of Stanford University, adjacent to Palo Alto, California, United States.
Early life[edit]
He was the only child of Governor Leland Stanford of California and his wife Jane Stanford née Lathrop.
Illness and death[edit]
Leland caught typhoid two months before his 16th birthday, while on a Grand Tour of Europe with his parents. He originally fell ill in Athens. His parents rushed him to Italy for medical treatment, first to Naples, then to Rome, and eventually to Florence, where he died after weeks of alternately improving and worsening.[2]
Stanford University[edit]
Leland Stanford Sr. told his wife that "the children of California shall be our children."[3][4][5] To honor their son upon returning to the United States, the Stanfords devoted their fortune to a memorial in his name, Leland Stanford Junior University. The university opened its doors in 1891.
Leland Stanford, Jr. is interred beside his parents at the Stanford family mausoleum on the Stanford campus. After the death of his father on June 21, 1893, his mother guided the development of the university until her death on February 28, 1905.
Although the university is generally referred to as "Stanford University" or "Stanford", its official name is still "Leland Stanford Junior University", as seen on the university seal. The Stanford Band always calls itself the "Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band" (LSJUMB).[6]
A student drinking song refers to the institution as "the Leland Stanford Junior Farm".[7]

Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you here
I sort of understand half of what you are saying there. For whatever reason, those two mirror lenses have mounts that allow them to be mounted to any SLR without much work, and that includes Nikon. Somehow I was convinced that Nikon's flange distance was at the extreme that didn't allow mounting any other lens without either losing infinity or adding glass to fix the problem; Apparently, that's correct only when standard mounts are in question. I've heard of T-mount and seen "adaptall" lenses/adapters/whatever but never paid much attention because 1) I had what I wanted available in Nikkor lineup and 2) previous sentence.
I'll definitely look into it. This M42 thing is developing into a mini-saga now. Who would have thought. Everything should be easy and simple (haha).
I'll have to grab one of my Nikons tomorrow to reload, then I'll come back to this. It's fun though, I like this M42 thing.
EDIT: Ah, I got it now. A little bit (more) of reading never hurt anybody. So F mount does not have the largest flange distance as I previously thought.

Election 2010 at the movies: a video gallery
CommentsAdd +
With the poll in full swing, Time Out heads to the ballot box with a selection of the great and good of election-based movie moments, from the underhand tactics employed by 'Election's' Tracy Flick to the unrealised desire to send America back to the dark ages in David Cronenberg's 'The Dead Zone'.
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)Standout candidate: 'Pedro' (Efren Ramirez)Platform: Geek powerMeek, servile and sporting the kind of moustache not usually seen outside a Tijuana rub'n'tug shop, Pedro's chances of overcoming the corn-fed all-American charms of his rival – red-hot favourite Summer Wheatley – for the position of class president are as slim as his bolo tie. But that bald profile doesn't factor for the wild ingenuity of his ginger spin-doctor, Napoleon Dynamite, who unleashes all manner of crowd-pleasing moves aimed squarely at the floating voter.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)Standout candidate: Rance Stoddard (James Stewart)Platform: Statehood for unnamed Western US backwaterJimmy Stewart is at his prudent, politic and pussyfooting 'Well, let's just wait a minute here!' best in John Ford's majestic essay on the gulf between myth and man. Corralled into running for the role of congressional delegate, Stoddard soon rises through political office but can never outrun the insoluble guilt of his career being forged on a lie.
Medium Cool (1969)Standout candidate: Hubert HumphreyPlatform: Not being Richard NixonPolling night at the community centre was never like this! The 1968 Democratic Convention to select a candidate to run against Tricky Dicky forms the backdrop of Haskell Wexler's volatile mash-up of narrative trickery and vérité daring. The convention explodes into terrible violence and Wexler's roving lens captures the carnage, which he then went on to fashion into a pointed docu-drama that says much about the state of late-60's America.
Persepolis (2007)Standout candidate: Islamic RepublicansPlatform: The usualBruce Lee, Michael Jackson and Karl Marx are on hand to guide spunky little Iranian waif Marjane Satrapi through the tumult surrounding the elections that followed the Iranian Revolution. The squiggly lines are the only thing that's black and white in a wonderful autobiographical animation that places the personal alongside the political.
Bulworth (1998)Standout candidate: (Anyone but) Senator Jay Bullington Bulworth (Warren Beatty)Platform: The truth. In rap form.With re-election looking unlikely, Beatty's US Senator does what any hardened political shark would and takes a hit out on himself, turns on to the chronic and gets jiggy with it in a rap-stylee. Ill-conceived, badly executed and excruciating in every way, the film can at least lay claim to putting the all-but-final nail in Beatty's cruelly overextended film career that featured peerless election special 'The Parallax View' amongst its many highs.
The Dead Zone (1983)Standout candidate: US Congressional Candidate Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen)Platform: Nuclear holocaustWe all know election promises are political toilet paper, but when the electorate in question is clairvoyant, things get a little stickier for any prospective representative. Martin Sheen presses the wrong flesh when shaking hands with the telepathic Christopher Walken and inadvertently reveals his unconscious plans for an itchy-trigger Armageddon. Walken manfully does the decent thing and takes potshots at him at a political rally, causing Sheen to wig out and use a baby as a human shield – something that never goes down too well with the voters.
The Glass Key (1942)Standout candidate: Ralph Henry (Moroni Olsen)Platform: Misc reformThe mob rules in this masterly Dashiell Hammett adaptation that served as a major inspiration/virtual template for the Coen brothers' serpentine gangster classic, 'Miller's Crossing'. The ethically sketchy Henry's election as Governor of some unnamed state is little more than a backdrop for double-crossings so complex that they make the Gordian Knot look like child's play. Still, it sure racks up the tension and perfectly serves as a smooth metaphor for a city on the make.
Election (1999)Standout candidate: Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon)Platform: Malice Surely the election film to end them all, Alexander Payne's caustic dissection of high school politicking is part 'Breakfast Club', part 'Cape Fear' and part Florida Recount. Reese Witherspoon excels as a straight-laced, knee-high Nazi who is a shoo-in for student body president, while Matthew Broderick – as the right-minded, wrong-headed teacher looking to give her a lesson in humility – oozes hope and despair in equal measure. Guess who wins…
Taxi Driver (1976)Standout Candidate: Senator Charles Palatine (Leonard Harris)Platform: 'We ARE the People''Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets'. Well, quite! Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) could be voicing the thoughts of many members of our 'broken society' with this stark assessment of pre-Giuliani New York, but his methods don't bear any kind of close scrutiny. The city simmers with summer heat and election fever while De Niro goes off message and paints the town red with impotent fury.
China O'Brien (1988)Standout Candidate: China O'Brien (Cynthia Rothrock)Platform: High kicks and low blows.VHS kung-fu diva Cynthia Rothrock has a tough time running for sheriff of the rotten borough of Beaver Creek, Utah in this enjoyably daft post-pub classic. Aided only by a Native American biker clad entirely in denim and a clutch of Tori Amos songs, she trades on traditional American values and gives the voters exactly what they want: lunatic stiletto karate and enforced apple-pie conformity. To the polls!

#9 Feb 28, 2010
what is adultfriendfiner?
#10 Mar 1, 2010
I'll just throw in my 2 cents worth here. First if your wife is cheating on you, I think your main problem is with your wife. If she cheated with the man that you are looking for, who is to say that she wouldn't or has not cheated with someone else. I would give up your search and move on with your life. There are too many people out there that cheat and don't' even think about what they are doing or simply don't care. Just be the better person and move on to a better place in your life and start fresh. Secondly, I don't think a public, community forum is the right place to talk about adult websites and adult activities. This is a community gathering place, not another website to talk about trash. That is my 2 pennies worth, I hope it helps someone.
#11 Mar 11, 2010
I totally agree Amused. A cheater can always find someone to cheat with. The problem is with the wife not the other man. AND this is not the place to discuss that kind of stuff, and that's MY 2 cents too. LOL

STORRS — Over years as a player and assistant coach at UConn, Shea Ralph has come to expect certain things to happen at certain times.
For instance, March is conference and NCAA Tournament time. April brings the chance to win another national championship. Summer can mean another chance to shake hands with the president.
And all the while her phone lights up with texts, emails and voice messages.
"People always ask every year: 'Hey, are you going to take a [head coaching] job?" Ralph said. "I try to tell people, and I am being very honest when I say so, that I am not actively searching. I love the job I have."
Since UConn began winning...

The "Kevin Durant to the Wizards" rumor mill is already running at warp speed, and we are still roughly 23 months until the NBA's reigning MVP is able to become a free agent.
But that won't stop you from reading between the lines of every report, quote, and transaction. And then, just to be safe, read in between those lines, too. Everything has a deeper meaning and nothing is "just a coincidence."
If you aren't looking close enough, we took a look for you. Consider these possibilities.
1) Kevin Durant is a Redskins fan
Being from Washington, D.C. Kevin Durant is a Redskins fan. He tweets during their games and has posted many pictures on Instagram in various pieces of Redskins apparel.
How many times do you think Durant has sat down on his couch, hoping to see his Redskins play, only to turn on the T.V. and be greeted with a Texans-Jaguars game? Probably every Sunday. He's definitely tired of having to worry whether the Redskins will be on T.V. every week. Maybe he can root for the team in Oklahoma City? Oh wait, they don't have one. Exactly.
2) The Wizards made a move this offseason to ensure his No. 35 jersey is available and No. 8 and No. 15 and No. 53 and maybe even No. 3/5
It's a common misperception that power forward Trevor Booker was let go this offseason for basketball reasons. But people with a knack for connecting the dots know that Booker wore No. 35, which is the number Kevin Durant wears.
Could you imagine how that phone conversation would go? "Kevin, we have one of the league's youngest and most talented backcourts, a fan base dying for a winner, and we play in your backyard...the only thing is you may have to change your number because someone else already has it." He would probably hang up and block the Wizards number forever; that was a risk they couldn't afford to take. Laying the foundation.
But whatever else he wants is fine too, right? Add five and three. That's eight. Multiply five and three. That's 15. Flip the order. That's 53. Heck, they'll make a fraction if they have to. Try No. 3/5.
3) Kevin Durant is friends with Caron Butler, Caron Butler used to play for the Wizards, and "Kevin" and "Caron" have the same number of letters
Former Wizard great Caron Butler became a member of the Thunder late last year and struck up a quick friendship with Durant. Butler put notes in the forward's locker saying he believed he would be the league's MVP, and Durant thanked Butler in his MVP acceptance speech for being such a close friend.
Is it entirely crazy to think that Butler slipped other notes into Durant's locker, convincing him to leave OKC for the Wizards? No.
Butler probably left a note for No. 35 everyday, saying things like "John Wall averages almost two more assists per game than Russell Westbrook, did you know that, Kevin?" or "The new Silver Line will make getting around the area so much easier, Kevin." Butler loved his time in DC, and it wouldn't surprise me if he started nudging KD towards a return home far earlier than most of us thought it was possible.
4) Enormous things happen in Kevin Durant's life every two years
The biggest moments of Durant's basketball life occur in even-numbered years. Stay with me here.
In 2006, he was a McDonald's All-American. In 2008, he was named NBA Rookie of the Year. In 2010, he made his first All-NBA Team, and was named USA Basketball's Male Athlete of the Year. 2012 was his first career NBA Finals appearance. And in 2014, he won his first NBA MVP award.
There is no way that those are strictly coincidences or completely random. No. I'm not buying that. That is clear evidence meaning Kevin Durant's next major basketball event will occur in 2016, and that major basketball event will be packing up and coming to DC.
5) Kevin Durant needs new friends to fill out his Sprint Framily plan
The Thunder haven't treated their star player's friends very well in the past, making some questionable transactions in recent years. At the 2011 NBA trade deadline, the Thunder shipped Jeff Green, one of Durant's best buddies, to Boston. Then, before the 2012 season commenced, they traded James Harden, another one of KD's best buddies, to Houston.
In related news, Durant has been featured in television spots for Sprint's new "framily" plan, which allows customers to create a cell phone plan with their family and friends to save money; the more people on the plan, the better the savings. At the rate the Thunder are going, Durant can't comfortably build his framily without wondering whether his framily members will be traded.
Meanwhile, in DC, there are tons of friendly guys who anyone would love to have on their framily plan. Can you imagine sharing a plan with Marcin Gortat, Kevin Seraphin, and Martell Webster? That would far and away be the league's best framily.
6) Kevin Durant's Twitter bio contains a secret message for Wizards fans
Kevin Durant's Twitter bio contains the following message: "IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL." This seems like a fairly inconsequential thing for a 25 year old man to say. However, if you look really closely, it seems like he is trying to convey a secret message for Wizards fans.
Durant's twitter bio is in all capital letters, which he did to camouflage the message from certain people, like Thunder front office personnel. But by leaving some letters capitalized and bringing others down to lower case, the real meaning can be uncovered: "im me, I DO ME AND i Chill." Look, he says it right there! "I DO MEAN DC."
We see your message, Kevin, and we understand. We'll see you in 2016!

Tagliabue says Billick's replay comments out of line
Updated: October 31, 2003, 9:37 AM ETESPN
CHICAGO -- Commissioner Paul Tagliabue's best guess is the majority of NFL owners will want to keep instant replay despite recent criticism from Baltimore coach Brian Billick.
"They think, three-quarters or more of the clubs will think it's an important tool in terms of officiating in the game," Tagliabue said, admitting he can't predict the outcome when video review is put to a vote in March.
On the final day of the NFL's fall meeting Thursday, Tagliabue
was strong in his opinion ...

I agree with op. I do use other brands of film, Kodak was/is great.

I agree with op. I do use other brands of film, Kodak was/is great.
Thanks for Portra and Ektar 100, truly great stuff.
Kodak and the whole Eastman conglomerate has brought around such large scale advances of such a long period of time that we owe them a debt of gratitude for our passion for photography.
That being said, it is, unfortunately time for some of us to move on as well.
Rest In Peace, Kodak. Thanks for my 20,000 Kodachrome slides that still look like new. Thanks for the hundreds of rolls of B&W film and thousands of sheets of paper. Thanks for the technical publications over several decades. Now, Rest In Peace.
Kodak product that I really love:
- Kodak TMax 400 - my main film. 80% of everything I shoot in medium format is TMax 400. It is, by far, the most malleable film I know. By changing how I process the film I can get it to do many different things. Changing agitation will help me shape the curve to my liking.
- Kodak TMax 100 and Plus-X - represents the rest of the b&w film I shoot in medium format. Both are lovely films that I enjoy a lot, especially with pinhole work.
- Kodak Portra 400NC - pretty much my only medium format color film, and sadly discontinued. But instead of crying about it I will look forward to trying the new Portra 400.
- Kodak Xtol - my main black and white developer. I use it as replenished and for everything with light hitting the surfaces I photograph directly, it is pretty much unbeatable in my opinion. An outstanding combination of sharpness, grain, acutance, and tonality that suits me perfectly.
- Kodak HC-110 - my developer of choice for flatly lit scenes. This developer helps bring contrast back to flatly lit scenes in a splendid way. Love how long it stores and how versatile it is with its different dilutions and efficiency.
All in all I admire Kodak for a great many things they have invented, and somehow continue to put on the market. I am extremely grateful for the, in my mind, superior products you develop and produce.
- Thomas Bertilsson
Photographer and Kodak lover
The new Kodak Ektar 100 is about the best thing going in color negative film. If I shot more small format cameras, I'd like Kodak a lot more than I do - as it is, I'm peeved at what they're doing with the availability of Tmax 400 in anything bigger than 4x5.
While others fiddled with screen-plates and tri-color cameras, you hired two musicians to develop the world's finest monopack. You revolutionized color printing with your wash-off relief system that evolved into the fabled dye-transfer technique, and well... that was pretty cool.
You made really only one good camera, the Retina, but with it you hailed the 35mm cannister and that deserves a round on me.
I thank you for your stifled and sterile pictures of attractive women dressed up as though they were 20 years older, all in an effort to convince me that I, a simple hobbyist, could probably convince women to pose in front of my camera, maybe even naked someday. (Think 50's Kodak catalogs).
You made those great "Kodak Handbooks" with examples of all your papers and a big stupid picture of a baby on Velour, Super Velour, Super Velourmax, Rippled Velour, and so on. Some examples in those books are now showing signs of improper fixation, but some are not!
Your name's for products are absolutely ridiculous, and you seem to reuse them over, and over, and over, and over again, as if clinging tightly to your beloved trademarks. I respect commitment. But with this tendecy, you have created a new vernacular where words like Ektar, Estar, Ekta-, Dektol, and Selectol-Soft flourish and yet give way just as effortlessly to robotic code like D-19, D-76, HC-110 and TMAX. I feel like an artist and a technician.
Kodak, don't go changing,

I'm posting this because I need some sort of venue to help sort my ideas regarding this. For the last two years, I've been using the beautiful Mamiya 7 II with the 43mm, 80mm and 150mm lenses. It's done everything I've wanted it to:
-Fantastic, unbelievably good lenses
-Small and compact, super easy to travel
-Built in meter
-Has never once failed me
So in a lot of ways, I am very happy with it. That said, I've never loved the camera. I once owned the Mamiya Press system and I loved it and correspondingly, I took better photographs. Recently, I've been playing with 4x5 and a 6x17 camera, and now thinking of a 8x10 and working on wet plate. Maybe buy an old Super Ikonta 6x9 to keep with the MF world.
Is something wrong? I feel like I searched out the best equipment for my travels to get the best possible negs, but I feel like I'm lacking some sort of quality that is hard to put my finger on.
Anyways, just needed some feedback from other photographers on similar experiences and maybe turn me back in the right direction.
