US stocks open higherComment on this story
New York - US stocks opened higher Monday, recovering some of last week's losses when the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed its gains for the year in its worst week since January.
Five minutes into trade, the Dow added 6.84 points (0.04 percent) at 16,500.21.
The broad-based S&P 500 gained 3.18 (0.17 percent) to 1,928.33, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index rose 14.12 (0.32
percent) to 4,366.76.
US stocks have stubbornly resisted a large correction for more than two years, as buyers have emerged at points of weakness during that time.
All three major indices dropped more than two percent last week.
There are no major US economic releases Monday.
The earnings calendar this week includes the Walt Disney Company and Time Warner. - Sapa-AFP

text: Inspired by another thread, where the discussion drifts toward the (Schroedinger) wave function of photons, I rather like to focus on the electromagnetic (EM) field and its relation to photon(s): What actually is the relation between an EM field and one or more photons. Which, if any, of the following statements comes anywhere near a true statement? A photon is best described by an EM field. Entangled photons share the same EM field. An EM field gives rise to a photon when it interacts with, say, an electron. In the latter case the EM field ceases to exist. No, it depends: if all its energy is used up, it disappears, but if there is energy left, it continues to exist, and this is where the rest of it represents a photon that what previously entangled with the photon swallowed by the electron. Thanks, Harald.

I just bought one of these from a Hong Kong dealer on eBay named "oneworld3." The price from Hong Kong with shipping was about $100 less than Badger's price excluding shipping, but Badger's comes with a monocular viewer, which mine lacks. I don't particularly like monocular viewers, so it works out for me. It does have the groundglass viewer with an extending bellows shade. I didn't get charged customs.
I'll post some test shots as soon as the weather clears up, but here are my first impressions.
As Kerry Thalmann wrote in his review for _View Camera_ magazine, the finish is indeed "industrial" and the design simple (frame counting from the paper backing), but it seems like a perfectly functional back. One interesting aspect of the design is that there are two pressure plates side by side, and I'll be interested to see how this works in practice. I don't know how other 6x17 backs/cameras do this.
It does do 6x9 and 6x12, but the masking system is a little fiddly. It would be nice to have one-piece masks that just slip in or even better--adjustable masking blades with controls on the outside, so you could switch formats on the fly. Instead there are two sets of two metal masking blades that screw in on each side of the film gate, one pair for 6x12 and one pair for 6x9, so no format switching mid-roll, and you need to carry a small screwdriver (which I often do anyway) to use that feature.
I'll be using this on my Tech V 4x5", and it looks like I can use it easily with lenses from 90-210mm and maybe as long as 240 or 300mm. With the 360 Tele-Xenar, I got some mechanical vignetting at 6x17, but I could use it with 6x12 or 6x9. I couldn't focus a 65/8 Super-Angulon on the Wideangle Focusing Device with this back. I have a 75/8 Super-Angulon on a recessed board, and I was able to focus it on the inner rails by the awkward method of using the front standard pulls, but maybe I'll remount that lens on a Tech 23 lensboard and see if I can use it with the Wideangle Focusing Device since I don't have a cam for it anyway. [Okay--I tried that and it didn't work, so back to the normal recessed board, and I'll either have to focus the 75mm lens with the front standard pulls or rear movements.]
If it holds the film flat and doesn't leak light, I'd say it will be worth the $548 I paid for it.

I've always wondered why it appears that the Kirov doesn't have any aft dorsal phaser banks, but the Excelsior does, and why she appears to have only one pair of forward torpedo tubes, while the Excelsior has three? I would expect the dreadnought to have at least the same amount of weaponry, even if it meant making necessary modifications.
I'm not going to say anything about the Dominion yet, seeing as how she isn't completed yet.
All the same though, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing here.

Rio de Janeiro Shore Excursion: Plataforma Samba Show
- Rio de Janeiro shore excursion to 2-hour Plataforma Show
- Experience the energy of Carnival with samba dancers, live drumming, colorful costumes and a vibrant light show
- See traditional folk dances and music styles that express Brazil's cultural roots
- Upgrade to a dinner option that includes a Brazilian BBQ
- Complimentary port pickup and drop-off included
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
What You Can Expect
After your cruise ship docks in Rio de Janeiro, you're picked up for the ride to Leblon, one of Rio's most affluent neighborhoods, where the 2-hour Plataforma Show takes place.
Settle into a prime seat in the theater and take part in an entertaining spectacle of rhythmic live music and dance. Watch as dozens of talented dancers and drummers perform samba, folk dances and popular songs that express Brazil's cultural influences — including Portuguese, African and indigenous origins.
Enjoy a light show alongside drummers and performers demonstrating the eye-catching spins of capoeira, a Brazilian movement that combines martial art with dance. Then get caught up in Rio's world-famous celebration as the show culminates in a Carnival parade of outrageous costumes on stage.
The Plataforma Show finishes at midnight, after which you'll be returned to your cruise port (or you can stay out on your own to continue your night, making your own way back when you wish).
Please note: this shore excursion is a night tour and is designed for ships which depart at midnight or the following day
Optional Upgrade: Buffet Dinner
Before the show begins, enjoy a buffet dinner at the Plataforma Restaurant. Your meal at this traditional Brazilian steakhouse includes a variety of marinated, barbecued meats with local seafood and salads. Drinks and dessert are available for purchase at your own expense.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your timely return to the Rio de Janeiro port for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.

Dinner was very good and authentic Brazilian BBQ. The show was very entertaining and the performers were very personable when we were arriving - Taking photos with us before and after the show.

The show gives a panoramic view of the roots of the samba, from the native and African influences up to the modern day spectacular Carnival. While it starts off on the slow side, it picks up momentum as it progresses.

The trip was great, enjoyed the show. Only wish was getting there a little earlier to select seats. On our arrival 15 minutes before most seats were taken.
January 2013
This is a good show and we went for a good dinner before the show
January 2012
We loved the Plataforma Samba show in Rio. But, the ride from the cruise pier took about 2 hours because of all the stops we made on the way! This was not good! We recommended this to some others on our cruise ship, and they were not happy about that bus ride. We all recommend that if you want cruise passengers to take your excursions, that you arrange for a separate bus pick-up from the cruise pier.
March 2014
The show was excellent. The logistics were terrible. For a 10 PM show we were picked up at 8 and rode around downtown RIO for 1.5 hours for no apparent reason.
January 2013
The theatre itself is a bit tired and the seating is in chairs around a raised stage - feels more like a school hall. The actual show is worth it for the costumes. It is a lot of fun if you accept it for what it is - Broadway it isn't ! But glad we did it.
February 2014
This was WAY over-priced. The venue was dingy, dirty, and grim. And the performance seemed like a high school play. Sorry.

Yep, its all about, what have you done for me lately, baby? To the bean coutner mentality, Star Trek was old and tired and nobody wanted to watch it anymore until JJ Abrams came along and made it relevant and popular again.
And the bean counters hold veto power over any new series. Whether their mndset is valid or fair is beside the point. It must be taken into consideration in any realistic appraisal of the franchise's future. Even if its nothing more than Abrams giving his PR blessing to a new series and just stepping aside because he's not interested n being involved.

An intestinal polyp is any mass of tissue that arises from the bowel wall and protrudes into the lumen. Most are asymptomatic except for minor bleeding, which is usually occult. The main concern is malignant transformation; most colon cancers arise in a previously benign adenomatous polyp. Diagnosis is by endoscopy. Treatment is endoscopic removal.
(See also the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer's guidelines for colonoscopy surveillance after screening and polypectomy.)
Polyps may be sessile or pedunculated and vary considerably in size. Incidence of polyps ranges from 7 to 50%; the higher figure includes very small polyps (usually hyperplastic polyps or adenomas) found at autopsy. Polyps, often multiple, occur most commonly in the rectum and sigmoid and decrease in frequency toward the cecum. Multiple polyps may represent familial adenomatous polyposis (see Familial Adenomatous Polyposis). About 25% of patients with cancer of the large bowel also have satellite adenomatous polyps.
Adenomatous (neoplastic) polyps are of greatest concern. Such lesions are classified histologically as tubular adenomas, tubulovillous adenomas (villoglandular polyps), or villous adenomas. The likelihood of cancer in an adenomatous polyp at the time of discovery is related to size, histologic type, and degree of dysplasia; a 1.5-cm tubular adenoma has a 2% risk of containing a cancer vs a 35% risk in 3-cm villous adenomas. Serrated adenomas, a somewhat more aggressive type of adenoma, may develop from hyperplastic polyps.
Nonadenomatous (nonneoplastic) polyps include hyperplastic polyps, hamartomas (see Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome), juvenile polyps, pseudopolyps, lipomas, leiomyomas, and other rarer tumors. Juvenile polyps occur in children, typically outgrow their blood supply, and autoamputate some time during or after puberty. Treatment is required only for uncontrollable bleeding or intussusception. Inflammatory polyps and pseudopolyps occur in chronic ulcerative colitis and in Crohn disease of the colon. Multiple juvenile polyps (but not sporadic ones) convey an increased cancer risk. The specific number of polyps resulting in increased risk is not known.
Symptoms and Signs
Most polyps are asymptomatic. Rectal bleeding, usually occult and rarely massive, is the most frequent complaint. Cramps, abdominal pain, or obstruction may occur with a large lesion. Rectal polyps may be palpable by digital examination. Occasionally, a polyp on a long pedicle may prolapse through the anus. Large villous adenomas may rarely cause watery diarrhea that may result in hypokalemia.
Diagnosis is usually made by colonoscopy. Barium enema, particularly double-contrast examination, is effective, but colonoscopy is preferred because polyps also may be removed during that procedure. Because rectal polyps are often multiple and may coexist with cancer, complete colonoscopy to the cecum is mandatory even if a distal lesion is found by flexible sigmoidoscopy.
Polyps should be removed completely with a snare or electrosurgical biopsy forceps during total colonoscopy; complete excision is particularly important for large villous adenomas, which have a high potential for cancer. If colonoscopic removal is unsuccessful, laparotomy should be done. Tattooing the distal margin of the polyp with India ink helps the surgeon locate the polyp during laparotomy.
Subsequent treatment depends on the histology of the polyp. If dysplastic epithelium does not invade the muscularis mucosa, the line of resection in the polyp's stalk is clear, and the lesion is well differentiated, endoscopic excision and close endoscopic follow-up should suffice. Patients with deeper invasion, an unclear resection line, or a poorly differentiated lesion should have segmental resection of the colon. Because invasion through the muscularis mucosa provides access to lymphatics and increases the potential for lymph node metastasis, such patients should have further evaluation (as in colon cancer—see Colorectal Cancer).
The scheduling of follow-up examinations after polypectomy is controversial and varies by the number, size, and type of polyps removed (see also American College of Gastroenterology's guidelines for colonoscopy surveillance after polypectomy ). Most authorities recommend total colonoscopy annually for 2 yr (or barium enema if total colonoscopy is impossible), with removal of newly discovered lesions. If 2 annual examinations are negative for new lesions, colonoscopy is recommended every 2 to 3 yr. Current cost containment recommendations extend the interval between colonoscopies to 5 yr or longer, which some practitioners argue is not necessarily best practice.
Aspirin and COX-2 inhibitors may help prevent formation of new polyps in patients with polyps or colon cancer.
(See also the Cochrane review abstracts: dietary fibre , calcium supplementation , and aspirin and NSAIDs for the prevention of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas.)
Key Points
Colonic polyps are common; the incidence ranges from 7 to 50% (depending on the diagnostic method used).
The main concern is malignant transformation, which occurs at different rates depending on the size and type of polyp.
The main symptom is bleeding, usually occult and rarely massive.
Colonoscopy is the recommended diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.
In patients with polyps, aspirin and COX-2 inhibitors may help prevent formation of new polyps.

The time is now, folk artist says
Folk artist Ellis will be back in Fort Wayne this weekend, bringing stripped-down versions of her introspective acoustic music to The Dash-In. The Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter started touring professionally in the mid-'90s, performing at least 120 shows a year, many at national folk music festivals. Her last gig in Fort Wayne (a fundraiser for Fort Wayne Pride) was four years ago, and she's itching to return, she says.
Eddie's Attic: Singer/Songwriter Ellis in Full Bloom in Atlanta
"Ellis's stage presence is beyond compare, and one of the people at our table remarked that you could probably "turn off the stage lighting and still see her." Ellis positively glows in performance and "gives everything" in the words of another notable singer/songwriter who was sitting with us."
Out singer/songwriter breaks the 'Spell'
"Folk" doesn't do Ellis justice. Her style, while cleanly elegant, is quite difficult to categorize, as it incorporates elements of country, rock and pop.
Queer as folk: Indie darling Ellis proves talented lesbians can make it without MTV (2008)
"The flavor of Ellis is a lush, moody orchestra of folk and pop: Beth Orton meets Patty Larkin."
Theater note: "Babe" hits the pin (2008)
Twin Cities singer-songwriter Ellis, with a strong following in rock and folk music, debuts as an actor playing Babe. She takes on musical theater with real authority, from brash songs like "Whole Damn Team" and "Winnin'" to the longing of "I Wanted To Give You Norway." Ellis also proves she can act!
Performing Songwriter Top12 DIY PICK - June 2008
"Ellis effectively conveys songs filled with love and the longing for it, baring her soul and demonstrating a vulnerability that makes Break the Spell easily her most compelling attempt yet."
The Joy Inside: Local folkie Ellis gets personal on her new record 'Break The Spell' (2008)
"Break the Spell is a cathartic, intimate, and ultimately transcendent modern folk record. It's not trendy, or groundbreaking, or particularly adventurous. What it is is very, very real. It gets to you the way you crave a record to get to you."
Timing Is Everything: Ellis lives in the moment (2008)
"Ellis walks on stage, flashes a bashful grin and does what she does best: singing her heart out every single time. She has a lovely voice, guitar chops and a graceful songwriting style; however, there is something about her live performance that is transformational. The sum is greater than the parts, and she is amazing."
Ellis: In the Wink of an Ultraviolet Eye (2008)
"All I know is she definitely makes a great record, builds a mean song, wields a wicked acoustic guitar, sings fluently with an unpretentious conviction that transcends ego as much as it elevates it."
Meditation fuels folk singer's journey (2008)
"Ellis isn't your grandparents' folk singer. She doesn't hop freight trains or sip corn liquor from an old canteen. She's more into updating her Web site or MySpace page. Or meditating."

When will Pramipexole dihydrochloride be available for public use in generic form?

Not really sure about this one. The FDA granted approval for generic pramipexole to Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. back in February 2008. But then there were issues with the patent for Mirapex (the branded pramipexole) and a trial... and then Barr was bought out by Teva... so might be a while yet.

Style vs. Practical: How to Dress Summer-Loving Kids in the Winter (PHOTOS)Meredith Carroll
My daughters are summer girls. Which is why it's a crying shame for them that we live in the mountains of Colorado.
They love summer so much they want to hold onto it year round. And since I've already decided that clothing is not a battle I'm willing to fight, I let them dress for summer year-round — with some slight modifications. There's no reason they can't enjoy the fun flirtiness of a summer dress in December, just as long as there's something warm and cozy under it (and, on most days, over it, too).
Take a look at how my girls figure out how to make the summer last year round:
Summertime, I'm Coming For You 1 of 6She might be wearing jeans and a warm coat, but look closely and you'll see a sundress peaking out from underneath.
The purple flower in her hair also helps her remember the feel of the sand beneath her toes on the beach, too.
I Do Declare! 2 of 6I declare a spring-weight jacket with a long-sleeve onesie underneath!
Swing It, Sister! 3 of 6The winds are picking up but the summer sun hat makes her feel like she isn't giving up just yet (and the pajamas let her feel like she can have a lazy summer day, even in the months that end in "ber" (or brrrr).
Minnie Mouse May Live in Flordia, But One of Her Disciples Still Manages Just Fine in Colorado 4 of 6Yep, summer dress with a long-sleeve shirt underneath. Why not?
Denial: Alive and Well in December 5 of 6Another summer dress with some winter warmth underneath.
But In the End, There are Still Some Stylish Warm Clothes to be Had 6 of 6Even she knows that winter coats are a must in New York City, even if some other little girls can get away with short-sleeve shirts and skirts with no tights or leggings.

Another One Rides the Bus
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008)
|"Another One Rides the Bus"
|Single by "Weird Al" Yankovic
|from the album Another One Rides The Bus and "Weird Al" Yankovic
|"Gotta Boogie"
|November 28, 1981 and March 1982
|7" single
|September 14, 1980
|Comedy, polka
|TK Records
|"Weird Al" Yankovic
|"Weird Al" Yankovic singles chronology
"Another One Rides the Bus" is a 1981 parody of Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It originally was released on Yankovic's first EP and was later re-released on his debut album. It is also the last single release released by TK Records, which shut down the same year.
Track listing[edit]
- "Another One Rides the Bus" – 2:36
- "Gotta Boogie" – 2:21
The lyrics describe a person riding in a crowded public bus. In the first verse, the speaker in the song is riding in a crammed bus, then the bus stops to pick up more people. The second verse talks about various things touching the person, such as a suitcase and an elbow, and about how various personal items are missing, like a contact lens and a wallet. In the third verse, the speaker is trying to get fresh air but the fan is broken and the window does not open. He says that he "hasn't been in a crowd like this since I went to see The Who." He laments about not getting off the bus while he still could.
Development and writing[edit]
Yankovic wrote the parody and debuted it live on the Dr. Demento Show. While practicing the song outside the sound booth, Yankovic met Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz who told Yankovic he was a drummer. Schwartz agreed to drum on Yankovic's accordion case to keep a steady beat to the song. "Another One Rides the Bus" became so popular that it got Yankovic his first appearance on a TV show, The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. On the show, Yankovic played his accordion and Schwartz banged on Yankovic's accordion case and played the bulb horns.
Yankovic desired to release the song on a record label, although no label wanted to sign him at the time. Thus, Yankovic released the Another One Rides the Bus EP on his own label, Placebo. After the song started to become an underground hit, TK Records agreed to sign Yankovic and release the "Another One Rides the Bus" as a single. The rush-released 45 charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 singles, but TK abruptly closed due to financial troubles and the single fell off the charts.[1]
Music video[edit]
Although no official music video was created for this single, The Tomorrow Show performance has been included on the "Weird Al" Yankovic: The Ultimate Video Collection DVD as a bonus feature.[citation needed]

Los Angeles (AP) -- About 400 college kids will soon have to make a decision. They can take a deal to settle music piracy charges, or they can gamble on going to court.
They're going to be offered discounted settlements for allegedly swapping music online. Otherwise, they'll be sued for copyright infringement.
Students at 13 universities will be getting letters from the Recording Industry Association of America, which says this is just the start. The industry group plans to send hundreds more such letters each month. Association officials say music theft remains a big problem, especially on college campuses.

Hi Francesco,
I have done exactly this. I use my old film reversal chemistry in trays. The paper is Ilford MGIV Deluxe Glossy. Development temp 20°C under normal safelight conditions. 90 seconds in first developer, and 60 seconds for all other baths. I turn the lights on in the darkroom for the second exposure, and give it 90sec before I run throught the second developer.
Developer - Dektol 1:1 (nothing added)
Bleach - 9.5g potassium dichromate, 12ml 98% sulfuric acid plus water to make a litre
Clearing bath - 100g sodium sulfite plus water to make a litre
Fixer - what ever I had lying about.
Orwo UN54 35mm reversal processed
60 sec, 0Y130M f4.5. Lacking contrast
Same frame as above
90sec, 20Y80M f4.5, Too much contrast.
Orwo UN54 16mm reversal processed
90sec, 10Y100M f4.5. Still a little too much contrast.
a few of the 16mm frames enlarged. I did not sandwich these frames to the paper so not as sharp as they could be.
Hope this is of some use to you.

There seems to be a rumor that if you choose to be a critical consumer of media that you are just grumpy all the time. This is not always the case and in many ways this is a myth. When there are new ideas, images, representations, and conversations occurring that challenge the status quo and our culture, this to me, is exciting. Case in point: MTVs Randy Jackson presents America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) . I rarely watch ABDC, but this season I've found myself not only watching the show, but watching all of the behind the scenes and crew interviews! This is definitely out of my usual TV watching routine, so I'll admit my lack of knowledge on past seasons and crews.
Many conversations are occurring regarding the first all out queer dance crew Vogue Evolution, and for good reason. Not only are they the first out queer crew, but also they are the first Black queer dance crew, and the first to have an out Black transgender woman. They are also the first crew, to my knowledge, who has represented the Vogue and Ballroom dancing genre. Unfortunately, conversations about Vogue Evolution usually stop at their queerness, not this time. Instead, I'd like to start with their queerness and finish up with the many other identities and representations they give us to demonstrate that their existence is important in multiple ways.
One of the more in-depth conversations about Vogue Evolution was in the form of an interview with the members : Dashaun Williams, Devon Webster (aka Pony), Malechi Williams, Leiomy Maldonado and Jorel Rios (aka Prince). Here we get a glimpse into what their life is like while competing, how they met, and what they hope to achieve. I admit I'm excited to see each episode, but I'm kind of surprised at MTVs choice of words when writing about Vogue Evolution. For example, in the bio for Vogue Evolution, MTV uses the terminology "the guys," twice! There are so many other terms to use when referring to Vogue Evolution, such as their crew name, call them dancers, New Yorkers, but don't attempt to ignore the gender identity and expression of the crew by using sloppy and disrespectful terminology. Somebody needs to tell MTV about themselves. Oh wait; did I just do that?
One of the aspects of Vogue Evolution that I adore is their activism. Not only do they work within our community to educate us about HIV and AIDS and the importance of getting tested regularly, but they also are seeking to combat sexism. Here we have representations of LGBTIQ youth of Color from New York City who are working in social justice. We just don't see them often and rarely do we give recognition to the youth leaders in our community.
In the Getting to Know The Crew Interview, Pony explains that they are "Voguing Femme" which is part of the evolution of Vogue. He shares that they are "flamboyant, feminine, this is us, forefront, gay Hollywood." He argues that it is sexism from which some "straight" people may be having a problem with their crew. Pony makes the case that because the four Black gay male members are "acting like girls" and dancing feminine, versus the fact that they are gay, is where the main problem lies. I find this fascinating! Often we forget the privileges that people have when their gender identity and gender expression match and fit neatly into performing what gender roles we are expected to act out or participate in. The four men of Vogue Evolution are challenging these expectations that many people find safety and privilege in. Pony points to Leiomy as being the member of the crew that "straight" people feel comfortable approaching because she is a woman. I think Pony is right.
In each of the episodes I've seen, the judges, Lil Mama, JC Chasez and Shane Sparks, have either focused on providing the entire group with critique and encouragement or focused on Leiomy's performance. Pony is correct that the judges find Leiomy's performance captivating, not simply because it is, but because she is the only woman dancing in the crew. In many ways, I believe, Vogue Evolution has used this to their advantage. They know how "straight" people may react to their performance and may find more comfort in Leiomy, so they place her front and center in each routine. I think the most obvious reaction from the judges this season that demonstrates Pony's point, was this past Sunday with the Martial Arts challenge. If you watched it then you know that JC Chasez spoke like "Pootie Tang" !
I can only speculate that there was more to Chasez speechlessness than he was blown away by Vogue Evolution's performance. As he stumbled on his words, Shane Sparks leaned over to him, sandwiching Lil Mama between them, to laugh with him and we hear him say: "you don't know what the f*&% to say." This approach works for them, for this competition, but I hesitate to call this complete acceptance of transgender people or an end to homophobia or sexism. It's a step in a series of steps, and one that is necessary and may help them win the competition!
What won me over wasn't just their activism around HIV transmission and sexism, or their pride for being who they are and representing their communities. It was two other things: first, the diversity in the skin colors of the members and second the diversity in their body shapes and sizes. Yes, these two characteristics are present in some of the other groups, but when you add their queerness, their activism, to these other aspects of their identities, I began to see a more complete representation of who I am, the communities I am a part of: the faces we rarely see.
We can begin to see the many shades that communities of Color come in and this is rare. Many of the television shows that we see either have one person of Color (too many to give examples of) or the shows with a majority of characters of Color are being canceled (again too many to give examples). I find encouragement in their representation because they are each unapologetically people of Color, racially Black people. They also have diverse body shapes and types in their crew. As a fat woman who loves to dance, watching Malechi cut a rug makes me proud. There's much talk and critique about representations of "real bodies" in the media , and how fatphobia is rampant today which leaves me wanting to see a representation I can believe is accurate. Malechi and Vogue Evolution offer this to us. If you are to visit Vogue Evolution's Myspace page (like you haven't already) and visit their photo gallery, all the photos with Malachi have many people of size and Color thanking him for his representation of us. This is the type of representation I'd like to see more of in the media.
My hope is that these accurate and more complete and complicated representations of us do not get stuck in the "dancing" or "sports" genre. The love we see Vogue Evolution being given is not only because they are gay or transgender, it's because of the multiple identities they represent. They are not a single-issue dance crew. The queerness of Vogue Evolution goes beyond sexual orientation and gender identity and includes many of us who have experienced exclusion and isolation from media representations. For this reason, I join in the high-pitched chant of VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

need to hack systems and get admin privileges if you are able to do so
then you are a OSCP otherwise you could just take a 120 multiple
answers exam like CEH without any hands on knowledge at the final.
CEH guys, i am sorry but it is true, CEH has no hands on.
See this video i created it after taking this course, it is not an
advanced one but there is no course which teaches you this:

Thanks Mike, and to everyone else who replied. I think I will spend a
bit more time reading through my own materials, and then, when I have
the money, proceed to take the OSCP, if not just for the experience. You
input is much appreciated, thanks once again.

Hi Stephen,
My answer to your question is: Yes I took the OffSec101 course and
achieved OSCP last Dec.
The class will prepare you for the Certification exam if you are a
"self started". The exam is brutal in that it is an actual pentest
where you are given a set of IP addresses and a time limit to complete.
Comparing the course and exam to CEH, which I also have done, OffSec
is hands down the winner. From reconnaissance to actually using your
brain OffSec will teach you more than the basics.
This class is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who have a
goal, and are willing to put in the time to achieve that goal.
The cost is one third that of CEH, but the reward is 300 times.
It is well run, and the assistance via IRC is live 24x7. try to get
that from another class, and what you learn in this class cannot be
taught in 5 days as in CEH or others.
I hope you take the class, as the best review you will get will be
from yourself.
Good luck.

Hi there - just out of curiosity, has anyone here taken the "Offensive
Security 101" course to receive the OSCP (Offensive Security Certified
Professional)? I'm curious as to if it is a good course, if it is run
well, and if it's worth the 500+ USD you pay for it. Thanks

Every year, across the globe, millions of pairs of shoes end up in landfills or disposed of in some way, creating a lot of waste. It is estimated that 85% or more of these unwanted items end up in our landfills, which here in the U.S. and around the world, are filling up fast. No matter what age we are, most of us have at least a few pairs or more of unwanted shoes hanging out in our closets. Some may be shoes we just don't wear, shoes we or family members have outgrown, or those that have gotten a little worn around the edges. Much of what we consider unwanted waste can actually be recycled or repurposed. With the pursuit of sustainability in mind, SWALCO developed a program to reuse those shoes and we have been offering the program for over a decade now. Many tons of shoes have been collected through this program to date, and, these tons, have all been recycled or reused. Scout troops, Park Districts, Schools, Churches, Libraries, City and Village Departments and administration, as well as corporate groups and other community organizations have all participated in this worthwhile and fun program.
Currently all types of shoes can be brought in and collected, with the exception of: rollerblades, ice skates and winter boots.
All other boots, like dress boots, hiking boots and rain boots are accepted. Any brand and any size will be accepted. Shoes in any condition, from new or gently used, to those that are worn, will be accepted. Even those with stains or holes will be accepted. And, the great news is that 95% or more of all the materials collected will be recycled or reused and not only that – you can be a part of this great effort!
Everyone can take part. Make a difference in your community that reaches so much further beyond and Reuse Those Shoes!
There are two ways you can participate:
Please contact Merleanne Rampale at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 847.336.9340 if you'd like to be part of the fun and make a difference in your community. All groups must register, complete and return an Agreement/Application that will be sent with a list of Program Guidelines that need to be followed.
If you are a return group, please contact Merleanne for the agreement form and let her know when you will be beginning your next collection. Some groups may decide to do a 1-3 month collection, while others may decide to collect longer. All registered groups will have an opportunity to win eco-friendly prizes and awards and all groups will receive a special certificate.
Some groups have offered to act as year round drop-offs for the program for individuals or families who may have a few shoes they would like to drop-off to be recycled. Please drop-off your shoes during operating/business hours. Other scheduled drop-offs will be announced closer to the date. Please be sure to "match-up" pairs be tying the laces together or simply by using a large rubber band to hold them together.
If you have more than 15-20 pairs of shoes, please contact SWALCO. These locations are not for large shoe collections. If you wish to collect shoes, please register and participate through SWALCO's program.
Other scheduled drop-offs: Dates these locations will collect shoes is listed after their contact information. I f you have more than 15-20 pairs of shoes, please contact SWALCO at 847.336.9340. You may want to confirm collection dates before dropping off shoes. Please visit our site again for additional sites. Please be sure to "match-up" pairs be tying the laces together or simply by using a large rubber band to hold them together.
If you have a question about acceptable footwear, please contact SWALCO at 847.336.9340
Please be sure to "match-up" pairs be tying the laces together or simply by using a large rubber band to hold them together.

Once 2012 is finished, we took a look back to last seasson with a year of pictures and videos in this ShowReel 2012. Thank you to all the people that's been in front of our camera, and thank you all of you who watch our videos and read our website, pushing forward our lovely sport. In 2012 we've seen through our lens many of the top international riders of extreme mtb. We started the year with the legend Brian Lopes and we ended it with Dirt Master Sam Pilgrim. Between them, we had the pleasure to chat and shoot Tracy Moseley (thanks to Trek), an old friend of 203mm Mr Cedric Gracia, the Urban Downhill master Filip Polc, The one and only Andreu Lacondeguy, the 5 times Spanish Champion Bernat Guardia, The Spanish Pinner Iván Oulego, Scott Riders Xavier Pasamonte Sherwy and Antonio Ortega, the present and future of Spanish DH scene Edgar Carballo, Pol Romero, Marko Fernandez, Iraitz Etxebarria, our friends Krazy and Rubén Pascual and our 203mm team riders Moisés Navarrete, Willy and Carlos. We have to say a big thanks to our 2012 sponsors: Scott, Badfish, Commencal, New School Bikes, Trek and Oneill. Soon, we'll welcome the new international sponsors for the 2013 season. We advance that there are big surprises and we're proud of the fact that some of the biggest international brands follow our work and trust in us for the 2013 seasson. Keep an eye on these pages for the upcoming news.

Fearless Yeoman by RobCaswellWatch

My Cookie Rand. Uniform made with my own textures and maps applied to Evilinnocence's Cookie Peasant Dress. Cookie figure by Lady Littlefox. Hair by Mylochka (scaled to fit). Phaser II by XCal-pro. DAZ Studio render.
Given the track record of Redshirts of the Enterprise,putting a phaser in the hands of Rand is probably not a good idea.
Great cookie and she looks sweet, but in all honesty I never liked Rand
I think it might have been David Gerrold who actually wrote a good Rand? Or maybe Joe Haldeman. But yeah, in the show her role seemed to be mostly to snuggle up to Kirk and exclaim "I'm frightened!" Hardly an inspiring role.
I loved the Janices Hair looked!
shes especially charming here!

Rand and Uhura were my faves Especially in Mirror Mirror!
Er.... but Rand wasn't in "Mirror Mirror"?
No Rand was only in the first season.In fact, In the episode Dagger of the Mind. Janice was supposed to be in it because it was written for her But Grace Lee Whitney left, So they added Helen Noel instead. In Mirror Mirror, The woman was Marlaina Marrow.
Heh. I would totally watch this as a series....TOS/TAS setting, CG animation, SD figures like this. Pity Jimmy cannae change the laws of physics and come back in time to do voice acting for it, tho.
The Q-Bert like hex blocks are the perfect finishing touch.

I hate to be the one to break it to Magnaman1234, but those dolls are still very popular, my mother-in-law, collects the damn things.
This series of pictures reminds me of those bobble-head toys that were popular when I was a little kid.
Hmmm... I guess you're right! But it seems to me they were more common when I was a kid. At least, I saw them more often back then than I do now.
Excellent Her hair is perfect
Yup - Mylochka's really refined the style perfectly. A bit of scaling and it was a serviceable Cookie-doo.
Cute and cool, I love the way you take your art in so many different directions.

Vt rec path revived two years after flooding
COLCHESTER Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and anglers.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of the Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchesters Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
Restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from FEMA, and 15 percent came from the state. The remaining 10 percent came largely from Burlington-based nonprofit Local Motion and an anonymous donor.MORE IN This Just In

The idea of this outfit came from a picture of 20-year old Diane when she was
Outfit inspiration: Diane von Furstenberg
Stylish quote
"The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself."
Diane von Furstenberg

The Wrap: journey of a dress
We say "the bag" – we think 2.55 or Birkin, we say "the scarf" – we think Hermes and when it comes to "the dress", we think "the wrap".
Created by Diane von Furstenberg, this dress is probably the most iconic piece in fashion clothing history because it never goes out of fashion helping women all over the world discover their feminine, confident, sexy, coquettish and beautiful side by simply slipping on a soft silky garment secured by a tightly wrapped sash belt.
Diane von Furstenberg wrap-dress in Spring/Summer 2001, Fall/Winter 2002 & Spring/Summer 2003 collections
The idea of the wrap dress came to Diane after she saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower wearing a DVF wrap top and skirt on a television show. The outfit just wanted to be made into one piece easy-to-wear dress.
The first dress in a wood grain print saw the world in 1973 – a few yards of fabric that would fit a female body as if the wrap was made just for her - highlighting the bust, slimming down the waist, lifting up the bottom and allowing complete freedom of movement. The dress could be worn day to night. Slipping on in the morning within seconds allowed women to look gorgeous at work, but adding beautiful jewellery and heels would instantly turn the same piece into a seductive outfit suitable for a special occasion.
Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress in Fall/Winter 2003 & Fall/Winter 2004 collections
Every season a new set of patterns would emerge. Not only the colours were striking and unique, the patterns themselves were designed to compliment different women and their mood and unique personality. The inspiration came from Diane's past in a form of a beautiful signature, scarf pattern, post card stamps, graphic images or nature. The animal prints made their debut in the fall of 1974. They became so popular that Diane's driver would count them walking down the streets, from prep schools to office buildings to glamorous restaurants.
Diane von Furstenberg in Spring/Summer 2005, Fall/Winter 2006 & Spring/Summer 2006 collections
Every dress carried a bit of designer's soul in it and this is one of the reasons why it was such a fascinating piece to own. When something is made with so much love, thought and care, it's impossible not to feel special in it.
Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress in Fall/Winter 2006, Spring/Summer 2007 & Fall/Winter 2007 collections
The wrap stole hearts of millions of women all over America and then – the world. It was associated with the most wonderful memories and special moments. Todays wrap is essentially the same dress that comes in luxurious jersey silks rather than original basic cotton fabrics. Its shorter length is perfect to show off just the right amount of leg and a modern collar is smaller to make it look fresh rather than vintage.
Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress in Spring/Summer 2008, Fall/Winter 2008 & Spring/Summer 2009 collections
It's a timeless piece for a woman who wants to feel like a woman because once you put on the wrap, there will be no way back to unisex. The dress doesn't only transform the way you look – it definitely changes the way you feel and act, too.

Natalia Vodianova in Diane von Furstenberg campaign
Back in 2007 Diane von Furstenberg decided that it was the time to use a model rather then herself for an upcoming campaign and turned to her friend of three decades, François-Marie Barnier, the artist and photographer behind these unique creations, for help. She also choose Natalia Vodianova to be the model and pose for an intimate story photographed in both New York and Paris. There was no make-up artist or a stylist – Natalia chose all the clothes herself and posed bare-faced.
The result is a true art form where 50 photographs transform into paintings filled with a colourful rainbow of emotions. Here are some of my favourite images from the campaign and you can see more in Barnier's book Vive la Vie.

Strictly for the girls
So, just in case you are a guy and do not work as a fashion stylist, please stop reading right now and feel free to browse the rest of my blog because this post is for the girls' eyes only.
Today I am going to talk about something very up close and personal. Literally. It's not going to be pretty, but the information will definitely be very useful.
Some of you know that I adore beautiful lingerie, but the fact is that sometimes even the most gorgeous pieces aren't going to work for a very low cut dress or some summer silk perfection AKA lovely lingerie style silk camisole or sweet floaty can-hardly-feel-it-on dress. This can certainly be a problem if you fall in love with the above styles, can't bear a look of a bra underneath, but still need essential lift, support and coverage.
Up until now I knew about three things only – the daisy look stickers for the coverage of the pointy bits, the weird half moon adhesives designed to lift and hold, and the tape for everything that needed to be fixed in place including the daisies and the adhesives. I must admit, the tape was quite helpful for me, but the rest was simply unacceptable.
I would have continued to suffer in silence, surrounded by my dream dresses with a V-cut down to there and silk chiffons that could make even the most delicate bra look almost like a bullet proof jacket, but my fashion fairy magically guided me to the Fashion First Aid page. Finally, I was in a very happy place.
There were Concealits that looked and worked much better than the silly daisies, Liftits for lifting and holding, Boostits for adding extra cleavage up to 1 cup size up and, of course, the tape.
I know these not exactly the most glamorous accessories, but honestly, sometimes we do need them in order to look our best and feel confident. So let it be our little secret, just between you and me. Oh, yes, don't think it's a good idea to show any of the aids to your man whatever his age is – he wouldn't get it or you will make him cry with laughter and men don't really like to cry…

Nina Ricci Resort 2012
Young and elegant, this Nina Ricci Resort 2012 collection is my dream come true. Not that I can afford it, though. The feminine hourglass dresses, pencil skirts and short fitted jackets with lingerie-like stitching, delicate lace, frills, ruffles, bows in pastel perfect shades, classic pumps just made me feel dizzy with excitement. This truly is a story of fashion love at first sight and heartbreak. I'll get through it, I know, but I will never stop thinking about these beautiful so-very-Parisian clothes.

I brought home an older gelding...late 20s...and he is in desperate need of a sheath cleaning. With my other geldings I can just either catch him hanging out and he will let me clean him or shove my hand up in there and grab him and he will let me slowly pull him out to clean him.
This guy wont let me clean his sheath at all. He will let me shove my hand up in there but he sucks himself so far up inside that I can't get to him. He is in such bad need of cleaning its ridiculous. I caught him hanging out one day and STUPIDLY grabbed a dry cloth, wrapped it around him and tried to wipe some of the gunk off. Doing it dry made him bleed and I had to give him plenty of time for that to heal up.
Is there anything I can get at the farm store to relax him enough to drop out? I have asked my vet and he said I have to "take care of it on my own". Uhg.
Wondering if Show Calm or Quietex might relax him enough to drop?

RE: looking for a job
Since you are looking for a professional job in Romania, I'm assuming that you already speak Romanian. Working in a hospital setting would be, I would think, an impossibility without fluency in the local language.
If you are looking to do just office work, even if you don't speak Romanian I'm sure some of your professors at the university could help you get a position at a medical facility.
If you can speak Romanian, you could check the local papers for adverts of job offers or perhaps advertize yourself in the paper or on campus.
Good luck.

IFC Orders 3 Pilots, 8 Scripts for Largest Scripted Slate Yet (Exclusive)
IFC Orders 3 Pilots, 8 Scripts for Largest Scripted Slate Yet (Exclusive)
This is an expanded version of a story that first appeared in the April 19-26 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
IFC is getting serious about comedy, unveiling its largest development slate yet.
The AMC Networks-owned cable network has ordered three pilots and put an additional eight scripts into development as it continues its push into the scripted arena.
Among the pilot orders is Garfunkel & Oates, a scripted comedy about the female comedy-folk duo Riki Lindhome (aka Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates), which also marks IFC's first female-driven series.
"We've arrived -- we hear that a lot from people in terms of IFC claiming a stake in comedy," IFC senior vp original programming Debbie DeMontreux tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It definitely feels like we've stepped it up with the talent we're working with and with the projects we're working on. We're serious about remaining in the comedy space."
Joining Garfunkel & Oates -- which expands IFC's relationship with Micucci, who is among the voice cast for its Out There animated entry (and who has been recurring on CBS' The Big Bang Theory) -- on the network are International Plan, a scripted entry based on the friendship between Late Night With Jimmy Fallon writers Eric Ledgin and Michael Blieden, and Timms Industrial Piping, a stop-motion animated soap with baby dolls voiced by Nick Kroll, Elizabeth Banks and more.
STORY: IFC Renews 'Portlandia' for Season 3, Orders Scripted Comedy
As IFC prepares to launch Marc Maron's semi-autobiographical scripted comedy Maron in May as well as its upcoming Will Ferrell-produced The Spoils of Babylon, the network has added eight additional half-hour efforts to its development coffers from comedians that speak to IFC's "slightly off" sensibility.
Chief among them is Two Idiots, another female-focused comedy created and written by Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) and newcomer Tina Kapousis that centers on two oddball women raised in an old-world Beverly Hills Hotel and their adventures with their beleaguered butler and shared boyfriend.
"We're really trying to broaden the scope of comedy on our air, and with that comes different genres and different sexes," DeMontreux says of the network's push to lure female viewers.
IFC made the decision to focus on scripted comedy two years ago after seeing the success of Portlandia, with the network currently in talks for a fourth season of the critical darling starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. The announcement of the ambitious slate comes a day before IFC meets Madison Avenue ad buyers at just its second upfront presentation. At its first upfront presentation last year, IFC introduced a slate that included two scripted entries: animated effort Out There and Maron.

A complete guide to IFC's 11 new projects follows:
GARFUNKEL & OATES (pilot)
The pilot is a scripted comedy about the female comedy-folk duo Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates). The pilot centers on the aspirations and misadventures of this odd couple, and will spotlight the personal and professional lives of the pair, whose career choices -- singing satirical and sometimes dirty songs -- leaves them with little in common with their peers, and no one but each other to turn to for support and understanding. The pilot, produced by Abominable Pictures' Jonathan Stern (Childrens Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV::) will begin production in May in Los Angeles.
