An interesting note is that it is not recommended to use fabric softener when washing these. The fabric softener probably effects the moisture wicking ability and perhaps odor release in the wash.
In for 1.
If I remember correctly, they also had an Adidas 3 pack at Costco for about $16.99
Does anyone know of an equivalent boxer-brief to the Kirkland ones that Costco has now discontinued? Those were my absolute favorite and all I wore for years, and I'm wondering if someone else is making them under a different name.
I've tried many much pricier/fancier options, but nothing seems to match the great fit I got from those Kirklands.
I noticed that earlier. Since Dec when sears had all the great deals I've switched out from cotton boxers to synthetics. They are much more comfortable and can air dry vs placing in the dryer.

Picture: Brad Pitt filming on location, scenes for World War Z, a film based on a Max Brooks novel about a global war against zombies. Brad...
Brad Pitt developed a taste for traditional British pies while filming his new movie in England - he ordered 700 Cornish pasties for the cast and crew of World War Z.
The Hollywood hunk became hooked on the local delicacy during the zombie drama shoot in the British seaside resort of Falmouth in Cornwall.
And when the usual lunch delivery failed to turn up recently, the quick-thinking actor suggested an order of pasties for everyone on set.
Paul Pearce of Rowe's Cornish Bakers tells Britain's Daily Express, "I knew Brad Pitt was filming in the area but initially I thought, 'This has to be a wind-up (joke).' But as the conversation went on I realised the request was genuine and we set about it. It was a bit of a mad rush."

The Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter is starting a new event called Nine for Nine which is a nationwide event where you can get any cat nine months old and up for just nine dollars.
UPAWS recently won $500 from the Best Friends Animal Society that helps them offset the reduced adoption costs.
"It's nine lives for nine dollars, and it's a great fun, new promotion and we're very excited about it," said Anne Brownell of UPAWS. "We're very excited to find homes for as many kitty cats as we can."
The nine dollar adoption fee includes spay or neutering, all shots, as well as a full-size bag of Dr. Tim's Pet Food. The Nine for Nine event is for all cats nine months and older at UPAWS, as well as their new adoption center at PetSmart.

Re: Catalog data loaderarcgisteamlocalgov-esristaff Mar 10, 2012 12:30 AM (in response to mkalcich)Matt;
The simple data loader can not be used if you are attempting to load data in to a feature class that participates in a geodatabase relationship or network. The Polling Place Feature Class has two relationship classes that are associated with it. One table is called PrecinctPollingPlace and it is used to manage the relationship of 1toM precincts to a single polling place. The second table is called PollingPlaceComment and this table is used to store comments submitted by the public about a given polling place (new functionality coming in an update to the ArcGIS for Local Government Polling Place application later this month). You'll find more detail on these relationships in the Data Dictionary that accompanies the Local Government Information Model.
Instead of using the simple data loader, you can append your data to this feature class in ArcMap or use GP to load your data.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to place various size images inside imageView of UITableViewCell. I get the image data asynch'ly, create the image, set the content mode of imageView and finally set bounds of imageView. But the code seems insensitive to any changes I made. I want the images to be centered in a 75x75 area. I wrote the below code for this purpose
UIImage* image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
[holder.imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeCenter || UIViewContentModeRedraw];
[holder.imageView setImage:image];
[holder.imageView setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,75,75)];
[holder.imageView setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,75,75)];
[holder setNeedsLayout];
Where holder is the UITableViewCell. The result I get is always the same. All images have 75px height and different widths. Can someone help me solve this problem?
I have realized that setting contentMode and bounds properties does not have any effect in that code. I have added an NSLog after the last line and got the results as below:
NSLog(@"imageview:%@ bounds and contentMode:%@ %@",[holder imageView],[holder.imageView bounds],[holder.imageView contentMode]);
imageview:<UIImageView: 0x39ab8a0; frame = (0 0; 75 75); opaque = NO; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x39a92b0>> bounds and contentMode:(null) (null)
Still no solution

Fourth Carnival of Feminist Parenting
Welcome to the September 13 14, 2009 edition of the Carnival of Feminist Parenting. Sorry it's late, I was finding it hard to type yesterday due to having decapitated my finger with a potato peeler (don't ask).
There have been precisely two submissions this month which haven't come from me – three if you count two people suggesting the same piece. The second piece which was suggested seems to have disappeared along with the blog it was posted on, unfortunately. I know I've gone on about this before, but it really is getting me down. If there aren't a decent number of submissions this month, I am considering stopping the Carnival; there doesn't seem much point in having a Carnival without submissions, and I feel a little like I'm shouting into a void.
That said, there are a lot of posts to look at in this month's carnival because I've been bookmarking all of my own favourites. So here they are, enjoy the carnival – and please, please, if you write or read a post which you like and think would be relevant, submit it!
Annika and Amity both suggested The Incredible Vanishing Woman posted at Noble Savage.
"There is no such thing as Superwoman, or Supermum. We need to lose the martyr image and stop taking it all on for the sake of appearances or because our partners won't lift a finger or because we think it's "just what women do." We should not be complicit in our oppression, in our degradation. The unhappiness, the depression, the feelings of inadequacy and anger…these are all too common threads in the fabric of mothering. We are people with dreams and desires and needs. We are worthy of respect and authority and autonomy."
And here are the posts I've found around the blogosphere over the past month.
So, What Is Feminist Mothering? posted at Feministe.
"So, "motherhood" is that patriarchal institution, essentially, and "mothering," especially feminist mothering, is a more active, positive place from which to move. I like this separation because it allows us to critique societal expectations of mothers without getting to a point where the only way out is to jettison being a mother altogether. It suggests that, dammit, yes, mothering can be a feminist practice, it can be a creative practice, it can be a liberating practice – an expanding practice, as La Lubu suggests."
It's Not About Me also from Feministe.
"If you are an adult in my daughter's life, know this: it's not about me. It's about her. If she comes to you about birth control, help her. Take her to Planned Parenthood. Give her condoms. If it means you have to take her to another state to help her get an abortion, because it's what she needs and we live in a state with parental notification laws, then take her. Go with her, and hold her hand, and hug her afterwards, and make sure she has someone to talk to. Sure, you can tell her that she can talk to me – you can offer to help her do it. But if she doesn't want to, if she's scared or ashamed or just too overwhelmed, that's OK. It's more important that she gets what she needs than that I know about it."
The misogyny of denying milk-making moms mental-health medication at Raising My Boychick.
"This is when, in a sane society, her physician or nurse would nod, draw on hir vast knowledge of and experience with medications appropriate for breastfeeding, and say "No problem, that only rules out a very few classes of drugs, there are lots of things we can try still." Or, barring that, would reach for the copy of Hale's zie keeps handy in hir office, or would call one of the many breastfeeding-knowledgeable pharmacists zie keeps on file as references. The woman and the health care provider she employs would then work together to pick a medication most appropriate for her particular situation.
That is not what usually happens. Too often (ever would be too often), the physician, upon hearing said disclosure, automatically replies "I don't want to give you anything until you wean/terminate breastfeeding/stop doing that."
There is so much wrong with this situation, I hardly know where to start."
What timing! ACOG releases asshat statement also at Raising My Boychick.
"To my American hospital-birthing friends: you know this matters to you, whether you wanted food in labor or not, whether you were at an enlightened hospital or not; know also that it matters to me. To my American homebirthing- and birth-center-using-friends: it's not enough to just escape the system. We aren't all that lucky (approximately 12% of intended homebirths transfer in labor), and we don't all want to. The system has to get better for when we need it, for when our sisters need it, for when our sisters want it. To my non-American or non-birthing friends: Birth rights are reproductive rights are human rights. What happens to one of us happens to all. As voz_latina says: "There can be no equality until all women have control over all aspects of our bodies. Birth, transition status, personhood.""
Just like athletics: exploring a childbirth analogy the last one in this edition from Raising My Boychick.
"One of the arguments used against "natural childbirth" is "we don't allow people to be in pain in any other circumstance: why would we allow women to hurt in birth?" But it simply isn't true, and the disproof brings me to one of my favorite childbirth analogies: athletics. The metaphor of birth as marathon has certainly been done before, but if you will indulge me, I wish to explore some of the specifically misogynistic implications of this particular assertion using this particular analogy once again."
'Inescapable Truths': Working Mothers posted at Spinning Plates.
"The only objection I can see to women not staying at home with babies is when it comes to breastfeeding as something only women are biologically equipped to do. But even that objection has no substance once you examine it more closely. I agree that breastfeeding is undeniably easier if you don't have to go straight back to work and deal with the headache of pumping. We are very lucky we have decent maternity leave provisions in the UK which mean many are able to stay at home long enough for their baby to have started some solids which helps. So yes, it is difficult but not impossible. It is a testament to the love and dedication breastfeeding working mothers feel for their children that they are willing to express, dash back to their child at lunchtime for a feed or reverse cycle and feed all night. If workplaces and employers were more flexible and we were able to bring our young babies to work, or we could cross-nurse this would not be an issue. But paid work outside the home and breastfeeding are not mutually exclusive."
The meaning of beauty: learning to love my body again from Spinning Plates.
"Mirrors. Useful tools in which to check you've got your buttons done up before you leave the house, or something to approach with caution and never, ever naked? Where do you sit on the spectrum and if you've had a child(ren) has this changed? Once stretchmarks, breast changes, lost muscle tone, altered vagina or cesarean scars are taken into account it is a rare body which is left entirely unchanged by the experience of pregnancy and childbirth. How do we cope with these changes? Ought we to see motherhood as an affliction that has destroyed our bodies, opting to 'fix' the 'damage' with a 'mummy tuck' or gruelling diet and exercise regime?
Or could we view motherhood as an opportunity to reclaim our bodies and selves from the pernicious messages delivered by the media and fashion industries which tell us how to look, what to wear and above all to measure our worth in terms of an unattainable, airbrushed standard of perfection?"
Mental illness and maternity posted at Deccan Herald 'She'.
"In India, a disabled girl-child is usually at the receiving end of a lot of contempt and neglect. Women with disabilities have been consistently denied their rights. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court recently allowed a 19-year-old mentally challenged orphan girl to carry on with a pregnancy resulting from a sexual assault. The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruling had earlier ordered medical termination of pregnancy (MTP)."
Transformative Blogging: A Free Write on Pregnancy, Feminism, and the Internet posted at A Womyn's Ecdysis.
"It has been through pregnancy that I see "Feminism" with new eyes and I see much more red than I ever saw before. Red bias, red intentions, red discrimination, red narrowness…I see red. Reproductive health rights are arrows pointing to the majority of heterosexual, young white women. Sexuality and spirituality are rarely explored as an interlaced relationship. The conferences change names, but still move in their same agenda. "Liberal" and "progressive" are thrown around without much depth and review. Blog wars still flare from time to time, roaming from appropriation to racism, but after a few months of quiet, you'll still find the same bloggers rowing in the currents of mainstream thought and contributing to US-centric, heteronormative rhetoric that alientates and ostracizes "unpopular" issues like the fact WE ARE STILL AT WAR IN IRAQ, WE ARE NOT A POST-RACE SOCIETY BECAUSE WE HAVE A BI-RACIAL PRESIDENT, and the violence of poverty and rape still choke the life out of womyn everywhere in the world."
Home births: 'Buy some black bin liners' posted at the Guardian.
"The nicest thing was after the birth I could have a bath in my own home, sit on the sofa, and watch TV with a cup of tea," says Katrina Fox, 29, a full-time mother from Bournemouth who gave birth to her daughter Casia at home eight months ago. She joins a growing number of women who have decided to have a home birth. Though still only accounting for less than 3% of births in the UK, the Office of National Statistics shows there has been an 8% increase in the number of home births since 2006, and this figure is thought to be rising."
Kids, Sex, & Gender posted at Women's Glib.
"The other day I was on the playground with my campers, who are going into third grade, and the topic of pregnancy came up. Several of the kids were adopted, as was one of my co-counselors, so conversations about different kinds of families and how they are made had come up before, but never in this much detail.
I suddenly remembered that it is difficult to answer kids' questions: they are blunt and persistent, having yet to be hushed by what society deems acceptable to discuss in polite company. How do we talk to children about immensely complicated issues, in language that's simple enough to understand but doesn't shed necessary intricacies and ambiguities?"
Mr. Mom posted at Shakespeare's Sister.
"There's no such thing as a "Mr. Mom." Yes, I know—but hilarious '80s movie starring Michael Keaton fighting a rogue vacuum cleaner aside, that role actually has a real name, which is "Dad." (Or Father, Daddy, Pops, Old Man, Pater Familias, or some other variation thereof.) "Mr. Mom" implies that parenting (and/or cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.) is only something women can do, which is factually incorrect."
An ass out of you and me posted at The Hand Mirror.
"When people see me out and about with Wriggly they think I'm a stay at home mum, because I'm a woman and he's little. When people see Wriggly's dad out and about with him they almost always conclude he's in paid work and having a day off.
Enlightened societal attitudes to sharing parenting? Nope, not there yet."
Boy or girl? posted at Wallaby.
"I've been out of town supporting some friends while they had a baby."
"Awwww. Was it a boy or a girl?"
I've had a great deal of trouble with this instant reaction. Is that really the most important thing you could think of to ask?
I usually just tell them the assigned sex* and leave it at that. I've called a couple of people out on their reaction: "Would you have said the same thing if I'd said [the other sex]?" The answer has always been "yes", and I've been in situations where it hasn't felt appropriate to go on and point out "well, why ask, then?"
Back To School: Corporal Punishment For Students posted at Womanist Musings.
"In Canada, corporal punishment has long since been outlawed but this is not the case in the United States. As millions of children return to school they do so with the knowledge that along with new friends and lessons,that the paddle is also awaiting them. Despite much documented evidence that spanking is bad, adults continue to be violent with children, in the false belief that it encourages them to alter behaviour that we have deemed unpleasant or dangerous. I have spoken at length about my own dances with the belt and the trauma that is caused but many today feel that because they were spanked and turned out fine, that violence against children is acceptable."
Choice posted at PhD in Parenting.
"It is bad enough that the patriarchal society that we live in still limits women's choices. But it is even worse when one woman looks down on another woman for the choices that she has made. That is why I will not and I cannot support any politician or any group, female or not, that seeks to limit the choices that women have. Especially when they themselves have benefitted from some of the choices that were available to them."
The Gender Police is still alive and well posted at Viva La Feminista.
"She hasn't told us so, but her camp counselor told my husband that the boys are teasing her about her hair. "You look like a boy!" is their main chant. This led to a discussion about teasing, boys and gender. Sadly I have to admit that we immediately think "What are those boys' parents teaching them?" But I quickly recall that gendered expectations are pervasive in our sexist society. Girls|Boys, there is no in between."
Singing the pink blues posted at Salon.
"At least this year, I thought, there will be no battles over whether Barbie and her wardrobe will inhabit our house, no pop-psych deconstructions of the Little Mermaid trading her voice for a husband. We won't debate whether Power Rangers provide badly needed female action heroes or equal opportunity violence. It will be all Duplos, Play Doh and Beanie Babies.
But I was wrong.
As we assembled the farm set, we found that the father plugged into a round hole in the driver's seat of the tractor but the mother — literally a square peg in a round hole — didn't. And so it began."
Child's Play posted at Equally Shared Parenting.
"It's a silly rhyme – not worth mentioning, right? In the grand scheme of ESP, probably not. But when our kids are subtlely buying into the idea that it's perfectly normal for moms to do all the caregiving and dads to tune out the family, we're setting up the next generation to unconsciously act out this age-old inequality (with both parents missing out on a lot of fun)."
Teaching children that domestic violence is bad is…bad? posted at We Mixed Our Drinks.
"Despite the fact that 89 per cent of people who experience repeat incidents of domestic violence are women, despite the fact that two women are killed every week by a male partner or former partner, despite the fact that one in four women will experience domestic violence and that it accounts for between 16 per cent and one quarter of all recorded crime, the Mail reckons schools shouldn't teach children that it's wrong, clearly because it's part of an insidious feminist agenda which wants to see men removed from society altogether."
In the Box – Gender Roles and Preschool posted by Cutiebootycakes at BlogHer.
"It is fascinating that despite living in a household where gender roles are not defined, this young man has already drawn a clear line in the sand regarding male and female roles. Sitting with my friend I theorized that perhaps he learned this at school. She'd previously described a little girl that claimed her son as "husband" and not only is he tasked with hugging her before leaving on a daily basis but they frequently play together in the kitchen. He sits at the table while she "cooks" him a meal. Again, these stereotypical gender roles are perplexing. All of the children in the class have mothers that work outside of the home and at least 90% are doctors – MD or PhDs. I mention this because these women are in powerful positions and yet the children still buy into the stereotypes."
The Feminist Stockholm Syndrome & What You Owe Me posted at The Feminist Breeder.
"Somebody please raise your hand and explain to me who will be paying the taxes that will sustain this country if there are no future generations? I really want to know. If you think you're so smart, explain to me who's going to be wiping your ass at the nursing home, or finding a cure for your Alzheimer's, or even driving the ambulance when you go into cardiac arrest, if there are no more people being born and taking up these jobs? Who's going to pay the taxes into the system that gives you EMTs, and police, and transportation, and Medicaid, and Social Security? Do you think that when you're 80, the 80 yr old next to you is going to be doing all these things? Obviously not. No, it's probably going to be a 20-something year old; a child born years and years from now – maybe a child born to my children. So clearly children are not obsolete. And wouldn't you rather have healthy, happy children who were taken care of by their mothers/fathers and by society? Wouldn't you want the person in charge of curing your cancer to have those few extra IQ points and be in overall good health? Well, you probably didn't think that one through too well, did ya?"
Reproductive freedom and racial paranoia: or, why Melanie McDonagh can fuck right off posted at Penny Red.
"To which my response is: fuck. Right. Off. I'm not going to be told when and how and with whom I may breed, by anyone, thanks. My body is mine: it's not a tool of your crumbling kyriarchy, it's not a self-replicating node in your future white race, and it's not a mute block to shore up a class structure contorting in the face of global migration. Fuck off with your misogynist frothings: I'm not anyone's baby-making machine. I don't care when I 'should' get pregnant. I'll carry a child when I want, or not at all."
Spoiling Our Daughters and Raising Our Sons: How We Are Unconsciously Raising Sexist Children posted at Soulbrother v.2.
"I now recognize the fallacy of my ways. And I must begrudgingly admit that there might be some grain of truth in her accusations. I am now actively trying to be more equitable in my treatment of my children. I am now actively trying to raise people—not men or women but people, people who think critically, who act not out of fear but out of rational thought, who are independent and confident in themselves and driven from within."
And finally, Molly is looking for non-sexist/feminist children's books over at Feminist Childbirth Studies.
"When we had our baby and started amassing books, I was quite frankly amazed and disturbed at how sexist so many children's books are. Including books my progressive friends and I remember quite fondly, though vaguely or in gender-ideology-free snippets. Stuff I found myself unable to read aloud with the cheerful, engaging enthusiasm one attempts to inject into even the most exhausted of readings when one hopes to raise a lifelong book-lover. Mrs. Mallard gets the little ducky babies all nice and tidy to meet Dad after his big trip; Daddy drives Mommy and the kids to the grocery store and, wow, Daddy's such a good driver; always with the pretty-and-nurturing women/girls and strong-and-active men/boys; the sort of repetitive crap that elicits eye-rolling and a sarcastic voice from me. What are feminist bookworm parents to do?"
That concludes this edition, I really hope you've enjoyed it. As I said at the beginning, please please submit your blog article or one you've read and loved to the next edition of the Carnival of Feminist Parenting using our carnival submission form. The next edition will be posted on Sunday 11th October 2009 and the submission deadline is Sunday 4th October. Past posts and future hosts can be found on the Carnival home page.

A connected campus for your connected life.
There's just something inherently cool about stretching out on the soft grass in the Sunken Garden and uploading your physics homework while upgrading your tan.
As one of Intel's "Top 50 Most Unwired Campuses," William & Mary provides free wireless high-speed Internet access in nearly every corner of campus, inside and out. In addition to wireless access, all residence hall rooms come with wired Ethernet jacks for that extra burst of speed.
Earl Gregg Swem Library is a technological marvel. You can find information using Swem's vast collection of online databases and e-journals, borrow laptops, DVDs and iPads, or make your own digital copies of Civil War diaries or eighteenth-century letters in the Special Collections Research Center. Did we mention you can IM the reference staff?
Visit Swem Library's incredible Reeder Media Center to create original music and movies, work on class projects and personal portfolios, or record yourself making a presentation or doing student teaching. The new Media Center boasts 11,000 square feet of space and an open and vibrant media lab with enhanced hardware and software for specialized multimedia work. It has two classrooms with moveable furniture and innovative display technologies, a screening room, a collaboration lab and eight acoustically isolating studios for media recording, production and mastering.
To best take advantage of our campus-wide network, W&M requires all incoming freshman to own a laptop computer. The William & Mary Bookstore carries two Dell laptops recommended by our IT department as well as an assortment of accessories. Students can use financial aid money toward the purchase of their laptop—and purchasing through the Bookstore means your computer comes with a 4-year warranty, including coverage for accidents, and can be serviced directly on campus through the IT department.
W&M was one of the earliest adopters of the Blackboard e-learning system. Most professors use Blackboard to post syllabi, readings and assignments. And many have tapped the system's incredible potential for online class discussions and virtual collaboration on projects.
W&M students can access access email, Blackboard, class schedules, course descriptions, upcoming campus events, social media and more at myWM. Find out more about these (and other) tech-related services as well as the top-notch tech support provided by our busy IT department.

"So when I heard, it was a shock."
Ironically the 1st team All-State basketball player found out about Buzz Williams bolting Marquette for Virginia Tech via a "buzz" in his pocket.
"I heard it from an ESPN app on my phone," said Cohen. "I heard the buzz and looked at it. I was like 'is this true or what?'"
Cohen called the ensuing couple of weeks "crazy." College coaches were calling his high school and AAU coaches after Cohen asked Marquette for his release and expressed a desire to re-open his recruitment.
Then Marquette hired former Duke assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski, and the idea of looking elsewhere quickly disappeared.
"He made me a priority," said Cohen. "I was the first guy that he visited so that kind of meant a lot to me that he came to my house. He drove down from Milwaukee on the second day on the job. There's a lot of things you've got to do when you first get hired as a coach, so it means a lot that he came down the second day to come visit me and my family."
Not only did "Coach Wojo" say all the right things and forge an immediate connection with Cohen, the new head coach's credentials spoke for itself.
"He's coached for Team USA under 'Coach K' (Mike Krzyzewski) for 4 years and he played for Coach K at Duke," said Cohen. He has a great resume. He's been there and he's done that stuff so that's what I really liked about him. He's been a player and he's been through a lot."
And so has Cohen. Now that he's re-committed to his dream school, the Seymour standout is ready to create his own buzz at the next level.
"My excitement is a 10," said Cohen. "I just can't wait to get down there on campus and be apart of what Coach Wojo has coming for Marquette. I just can't wait."

I am not dillusional, I am a spy for the United States Government.
Someone once told me that the proof is in the music. There are ten years from 2000 to about now that the subliminals are heavy in. It's a generation thing. Korn s new album is Paradigm Shift. That means a shift in a set pattern or something like that. Since their 5th album with " Here to Stay" and their 9th album remember who you are with three red slashes and "Oildale". You have to know where to look for the subliminals. I grew up listening to this music and see it everywhere. I have 290 CDs on my XBOX 360. I don't wanna take over this thread I was just saying, illuminati are in music industry.

Isiah accepts FIU coaching job
Updated: April 15, 2009, 1:41 AM ETAssociated Press
MIAMI -- While growing up in Serbia, Florida International forward Nikola Gacesa often heard his father talk about the way Isiah Thomas played basketball.
"He is a big fan," Gacesa said.
Gacesa will soon have his own stories to tell: Thomas is back in coaching, accepting an offer from FIU to revive his career and their program.
Ending a whirlwind courtship, Thomas and FIU agreed on a five-year contract Tuesday -- an out-of-nowhere deal that gives the former Knicks coach ...

Learn the Chinese martial art of Wushu with Wushu Manitoba.
Wushu basics, Changquan, Nanquan, Weapons, Dual Forms, Acrobatics and Sanshou.
Beginners to advanced. Fitness, recreation and competition.
Registration is open all year round.
Welcome to Wushu Manitoba.
Founded in October 2005, Wushu Manitoba was developed to promote Wushu, Sanshou and Chinese Lion Dancing. It's goal is to facilitate the development of it's athletes, coaches. competitors and performers using the highest standards of traditional and modern training methods. Training methods are focused on discipline, flexibility, leadership, endurance, strength training, speed, mental focus and acrobatics.
Wushu (pronounced "Woo-shoo" ) is the national sport of the People's Republic of China and is the Chinese term for "martial arts" (ie; "wu" = military, "shu" = art). It is governed by the International Wushu Federation (IWuF). Wushu has been officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee.
Historically, wushu was used as a way of survival through China's many wars and political upheavals. Today, wushu includes a formal branch of study offered by many Universities, schools and other organizations. It reigns as the most popular sport in the country of 1.3 billion people, practiced by the young and old alike. It's emphasis has shifted from combat to athletics and is practiced for it's methods of promoting flexibility, endurance, focus, presentation, coordination as well as recreational pursuit and competition. To describe wushu, it is best to understand the philosophy of it's teaching. Every movement must exhibit specific combative application and aestheticism. The wealth of wushu's content, the beauty of wushu movements, the difficulty factor and the scientific training methods are the foundation of elements that set wushu apart from any other martial arts.
Wushu is then divided into two parts, Taolu (routines) and Sanshou (full contact fighting). Routines are performed solo, paired or in groups, either barehanded or armed with traditional Chinese weapons. Competition routines have been specifically developed by the IWuF to standardize required movements and techniques that are practiced worldwide in 83 countries. It has now evolved into one of the most elite and globally competitive sport in the arena of martial arts.
Physical Discipline
Systematic, scientific and consistent wushu training has been proven to increase one's flexibility, endurance, strength, speed, balance, physique and coordination.
Mental Discipline
Wushu requires mental focus, concentration, memorization, expression and interpretation skills. These skills enhance the intellectual capacity and are transferable to other area's of one's life. Achievement of progressively demanding physical and mental goals develops confidence and self discipline which are essential qualities for success in life.
Self Defense
By improving technique, strength, speed, theory, power, endurance, timing and focus, wushu creates the physical, mental and spiritual foundation of effective self defense. Wushu calls upon 2500 years of Chinese history, utilizing techniques and strategies that have been tested in actual battlefield combat. Wushu Manitoba also integrates tactical and practical self defense techniques & mixed martial arts.
Recreation and Competition
Wushu is an art form enjoyed by practitioners and audiences alike. Martial arts training is ultimately self cultivation. Competitions and performances enable students to showcase their talents and expand their individual and team dynamics.
The official full contact fighting sport of wushu. Wushu Manitoba trains all our fighters with the fierce arsenals of striking, takedowns, offense, defense, and fighting strategies in the arena of Sanshou and mixed martial arts. With the use of protective equipment such as boxing gloves, headgear, shin & instep guards and chest protectors, Wushu Manitoba promotes the highest standards of safety and sportsmanship for recreation and competition.

In his op-ed "Take the Limbaugh Challenge," (L.A. Times, 3/29/09), conservative writer Andrew Klavanstates as a "certainty" that L.A. Times readers don't listen to Rush Limbaugh's show: If you are reading this newspaper, the likelihood is that you agree with the Obama administration's recent attacks on conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh. That's the likelihood; here's the certainty: You've never listened to Rush Limbaugh. What's more, Klavan claims to listen to Limbaugh frequently, and says he has never heard him "utter a single racist, hateful or stupid word." To someone like me who has been talking about racist, hateful and stupid […]

Why are members of the ruling class the only Americans for whom it's possible to design a security system that takes the obvious into account?
If security guards at a big, fat terrorist target like the U.S. Capitol can be expected to figure out that members of Congress aren't a threat, why don't we trust TSA agents to figure out that little grandmothers, nuns and 8-year-olds aren't a threat either?
Nancy Pelosi is more likely to engage in a terrorist attack on America than any grandmother or 8-year-old. Just look at what she did to our health care.
Pelosi opposed the Gulf War on the grounds that it would be bad for the environment. She voted to reduce funds for the B-2 intercontinental bomber and repeatedly voted against a missile defense system. She voted to end Radio Marti broadcasts to Cuba. She voted against war in Iraq. She voted against a constitutional amendment to permit school prayer and against allowing state and local governments to display the Ten Commandments.
No wonder she has a 100 percent congressional rating from al-Qaida.
And yet Pelosi is not only able to breeze into the U.S. Capitol without a search, but she can usually board a commercial airline without submitting to the groping or nude body scan that awaits the rest of us. Members of Congress and government officials are generally exempted from the TSA's airport screenings.
Does TSA administrator John "Long Dong Silver" Pistole get searched at an airport? How about Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano? FBI Director Robert Mueller? Michelle Obama and the kids?
No, of course not. TSA agents are busy X-raying James Caan's shoes and feeling up nuns.
I'd feel safer if Pistole and Napolitano had the full body cavity search than Grandma. Anyone involved in the creation of an airport security system that requires pilots to be checked for weapons has got to be removed from any government job and promptly institutionalized, as he is a danger to himself and others.
We're talking about the pilot. Is there anyone in the government who can tell us why the pilot doesn't need a box-cutter to seize control of the airplane and kill everyone on it? You there, in the back -- the skinny guy with the big ears behind the teleprompter: Wanna take a guess? Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?
I'm for any program that requires Nancy Pelosi and Janet Napolitano to either be felt up or videotaped nude every morning by Jose, the $20-an-hour security guard -- just as they do for the rest of us.

Two weeks ago AVG announced its LinkScanner software for the Mac platform designed to keep "Mac users safe from increasing intensity and sophistication of Web attacks." Perhaps the Mac faithful didn't take too kindly to the release, as AVG felt compelled to follow-up the announcement with some sobering statistics for Mac users.
"It's a well known fact that most computer users believe that owning a Mac means that you are somewhat immune to the malicious threats that lurk within cyberspace," AVG starts out. "In fact, this belief has become so strong that many Mac owners do not have, or feel the need to have, antivirus software installed on their machines.
"However, the times they are a changin' and 2009 proved a very busy year for security threats to Apple devices including the Mac OSX and iPhone. During last year Mac computers came under attack from the iServices A Trojan, which saw more than 20,000 people download an infected file from a pirate software website."
AVG goes on to say that the iServices B Trojan crippled an additional 5,000 machines, and pointed out that other outbreaks, like the Tored-A and Jahlav-C viruses, also cause their share of headaches in the Apple community.
"Flaws were also discovered in the Safari Web browser, iTunes, and PDF program," AVG continues. "Worse still is the fact that last month reports were issued around an unpatched vulnerability in the Safari 4.0 Web browser! So, it would appear that Macs are no longer as shielded as they once were."

Craft Room Space Saver Tip by Mary S.
Since I do not have a room or large space to set aside for crafts (mostly sewing of all kinds,) I purchased a hugh (6'X4'X2') cabinet. If my fabric and supplies do not fit in the cabinet I have to get rid of them. The only thing left out are the basics, sewing machine, table and chair.

I have a box that my material is sorted in, from sheer light weights to heavy brocade. As I am able to obtain most of my bulk material from yard sales, needless to say, I have more than one box, so I also label them accordingly and keep them downstairs by the sewing machine.

OK... there it is hidden. First thing it seems to fix is the updater to tell me that there's an update! But really? On the list of fixes, nothing is mentioned about cellular data leak! In fact, it seems to fix instances where cellular data isn't allowed to be used in 6.0??

I think if there is a data leak fix we would have to discover it first.
I dont think Apple will publish data leak fix in the release ntoes, it would then be admitting there was a data leak problem, which in turn would mean customers could go to their carriers and demand a refund for the couple month or so since the iOS 6. Just my logic on why it may not be listed.

I just updated mine and it also updated my Verizon too. Verizon I was at 13.1 and now it is 13.3. The phone is at 6.01 now as opposed to 6.
I'll clear my usage and see what happens.

Release notes for iOS 6.0.1...
This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:
- Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air
- Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard
- Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off
- Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks
- Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
- Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match
- Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen
- Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings
MacFormat Rumours indicated (refer earlier post here) that 6.0.1 included a fix for a WiFi connection issue.
And here it is: hoping it works for you Darell.

>>And here it is: hoping it works for you Darell.
Aw, you're sweet.
While I'm usually one to jump in with both feet, I've decided to test the waters with my pinkie toe first this time. I'll stand by for a day or two before updating and see what folks come up with. You'd think the change would be instantly observable if they indeed fixed this. When in WiFi, no data should leak out over Cellular. None. Just like before 6.0.... Right?
I'm still not confident that the folks at Apple have that as their goal.
chazcron Nov 1, 2012 8:45 PM
in response to darelldd
I can tell you two things, Darell,
One, 6.0.1 does not plug incidental leakage while on wifi. I'm still seeing at least 1 MB a day drain while on wifi (40 MBs per month out of 200MBs I pay for) It also leaks a good bit while out of wifi with sync disabled and most apps force quit.
Two, since I didn't download Datawiz before IOS 6, I have no proof IOS 5 wasn't leaking small (but not insignificant) amounts of data while in wifi..
I agree with you, NO data AT ALL should drain while on wifi.
Time will probably bear this out.
Does anyone have proof IOS 5 doesn't leak any data while on wifi?
Richard_1 Nov 1, 2012 10:29 PM
in response to chazcron
I have not followed this thread in entirety but doesnt visual voicemail drain a bit of data as long as its on?
When cellular data is turned off a warning tells you that visual voicemail will not work, so I am assuming it is constantly polling something to see if a voicemail is present.
Not completely sure how VVM works so correct me if I am totally off.
winstonsalemdude Nov 1, 2012 10:58 PM
in response to DJPlayedYA
On my iPhone 5 I have everything turned off that I can (location services, etc), no pushing for mail, and only have Calendar & Contacts syncing via iCloud. This current config has reduced my data drain within wifi to be nearly nonexistent...after deleting the new Podcast app.
So today, I updated the iP5 to 6.0.1. Once away from my home wifi, driving around town, the phone used 8 megs of AT&T data in less than an hour (using Dataman to track usage). So I can see no improvement after today's iOS update.
Call it paranoia, or just conspiracy theory gone wild, but I can't help but think carriers WANT smartphone users to be more aware of how much data we are pulling/pushing. AT&T certainly has my attention. I am suddenly at risk of running over my 1 GB data plan...which up until now had never been a concern of mine (never used more than 75 megs in any of 24 previous months). I hate having to monitor something that I had never worried about in the past. Like all of my peers in this "support community", we have enough crap to think about; Apple products have always been a joy for me, something always there to help me, not to mention a thing of great beauty and engineering -- but now I am just ******.
As an avid a long-term Apple addict, it's amazing how this one potentially expen$ive data usage issue has tainted my opinion of the entire company -- mostly because they do not admit publicly that there is indeed a problem, and that they are working on a solution. I had hoped that, due to the pain of bad publicity, Apple merely chose to quietly fix the problem with today's update. No such luck.
I'm a consultant who, at least as of today, can't recommend purchasing any iOS cellular devices to my clients. That wonderful sync of calendars, contacts and music via iCloud had just become complete with the purchase of a new $4k+ MacBook Pro Retina -- until I updated the iPads to iOS 6 and bought the iPhone 5. That's when the blades began to turn and the turds began to drop. So much for the glorious iCloud sync.
ifan369 Nov 2, 2012 2:37 AM
in response to winstonsalemdude
Anybody else notice that after updating to IOS 6.0.1 the AT&T carrier setting went from 13.1 to 13.0, funny one would think that it would go up to 13.2? Anyway I saw this happen both on my iPhone 5, as well as my wifes 4S.

iOS 5 "leaked" data while on WiFi. So did iOS 4, iOS 3, iOS 2, and iOS 1. It isn't a leak; there are some things that can only go over a cellular network, such as Exchange push alerts. And WiFi is off when the phone is asleep, so a cellular "kick" is needed to wake it up for notifications.
Lawrence Finch Nov 2, 2012 6:15 AM
in response to Richard_1
VVM sends your voicemail recordings to the phone over cellular data in near real time. The phone does not poll; cellular has the capability to wake the phone remotely (as the phone is always listening).
darelldd Nov 2, 2012 8:15 AM
in response to Lawrence Finch
re. all other iOS's leaking: Everybody I know who is on a relatively tight "MB" plan, and who switched from iOS5 to IOS6 has either gone over their plan limits after never having done so before... or is at risk of doing so after just a week or two of using the new iOS. I have friends who have never used more 100 MB in a month in several years of iOS ownership, then two weeks after the switch to 6, they gobble up multiple hundred MB's - on pace for a GB+ month. And guess what the only thing they did differently besides switching to iOS6.... the only change was to turn off everything they could find that might use cellular inadvertently. Something they didn't even bother with while on previous iOS's. Other OS's might have leaked. They didn't leak like this.
re. Sleeping: When plugged in, and on WiFi, the phone still leaks. Isn't WiFi supposed to stay on when plugged in? And the leaking (sometimes significant!) happens when the phone is fully awake. Asleep or awake doesn't seem to matter. A couple of nights ago, my phone made it eight hours through the night plugged in as usual, set up as usual. Running the same stuff as usual. And it used ZERO cellular data. How can it go all night (emails came in as usual) and use no data if it normally *should* use data?
I can live with small kb leaks. But when I turn cellular completely off, everything except Visual VM works as it should... Every alert still comes through except VVM. If VVM is the only benefit we get from having cellular data on during WiFi usage, then that VVM is a huge waste of resources (I'm talking about random multi-MB consumption here that seems to offer us no other benefit than VVM). The consumption is not consistent, so we really have very little way of knowing just what is consuming the data.
And under the heading of "I can live with small leaks" comes the issue of 30-40 MB burps of data that happen when cellular is first switched on after being off for a time - or in the case that others have noted - when WiFi coverage is exited.
I understand that there might be some small hosekeeping items that need cellular now and then. A few kb per day aren't going to hurt anybody. But when whole lumps of cellular data come through that are larger than some people's entire months' usage... we have to step back and admit there's a problem that needs fixing.
This is all fine and dandy if we have huge or unlimited plans. But the TelComs aren't giving those plans away, are they?
Cyb3rJunkie Nov 2, 2012 8:27 AM
in response to darelldd
I agree with you on that last comment. Small "leaks" are normal. These people complaining of 100's of KB when they aren't using their phone are just making a mockery of the real problem. Stuff downloads in the background all the time on a smart phone. Shoot, even people who have contacts linked to Facebook have to realize that when people change their photos, they will be downloaded to their contacts. That's Meg's right there. My problem was that my phone UPLOADED 8GB at once while on wifi and plugged in in the middle of the night. My phone thought it was on WiFi but was using cellular. Te only thing that could upload that much data is backups. My phone isn't supposed to be able to auto backup over cellular. Those are the real problems that are/were going on.

Ask anyone; Rogues are an easy choice for the DPS component of almost any 2v2 arena team. We've got the cooldowns to tip short fights in our favor and we have the burst capacity to drop a target even with enemy healers furiously spamming Holy spells. I believe that as some of the truly overpowered spells are toned down (I'm looking at you Explosive Shot, Sacred Shield, and Chains of Ice) that Rogues will claim their stake as one of the top PvP classes worldwide.
Rogues have the luxury of being one of the most potent classes in small-scale PvP environments. While we often make little difference in a vast war scenario like Wintergrasp, we are the masters of isolated combat. Due to our flexibility in both offensive and defensive abilities, we can hold our own with or without a healer to support us. This allows us to choose from a vast range of partners and playstyles. Read on to see what team compositions (comps) work best to compliment a Rogue's abilities.

Beautiful mahogany pole fire screen imported from England and dating back to the mid 18th century.
Fire screens like this were used specifically to protect the face and makeup from intense heat from the fireplace.
This particular example is fitted with a sliding panel in the shape of a shield so that it could be highered or lowered to suit the user.
The shield displays an exquisite piece of floral embroidery on brown silk which is in excellent condition.
The pole sits in a turned tripod base with three elegant Queen Anne legs with pad feet.
There would once have been a finial on top of the pole but unfortunately this is missing. There is some minor wear and dings mainly in the pole from the screen being slid up and down it. There is some small minor pieces of veneer damage to the top side corners of the shield. I have tried to show as much of this as possible in the pictures and as you can see it is all normal wear and age appropriate flaws which do not effect its over all charm and functionality.
This is a wonderful piece of British heritage which is very sturdy and ready to add that touch of elegance to any ones fire place.
Dimensions: width 13", depth 14", height 58".
