Commentary by Patricia Sabine
Native American Heritage Month committee
11/16/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Have you ever been involved in a conversation where someone makes a comment that you find to be inappropriate? This type of behavior takes place more than we realize.
The Air Force conducts special observances in order to enhance cross-cultural awareness and promote diversity. These observances not only help us recognize the achievements and contributions made by members of specific racial, religious, ethnic and gender groups in our society, but they also promote mutual respect, understanding, teamwork, harmony, pride and esprit de corps among all groups.
In promoting mutual respect, it is our responsibility to avoid comments or terms which could be perceived as insensitive or even offensive to those around us.
As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month it's important to provide some insight into some commonly used phrases or terms which could be deemed as offensive to Native American Indians.
How many times have you heard the phrases "climbing the totem pole" or "low man on the totem pole?" In corporate America, these comments may be used to either refer to someone who is advancing in his or her career or to someone's position in the organization.
When making these remarks people fail to realize that the meanings of the designs on totem poles are as varied as the cultures that make them. These vertical sculptures may recount familiar legends, clan lineages or notable events. Some poles celebrate cultural beliefs, while others are mostly artistic presentations. It's a myth whether or not there was a specific hierarchy in importance to images carved in totem poles.
Another phrase you may have heard once or twice is "on the warpath." This comment is usually made to refer to someone preparing for or engaged in war or an aggressive pursuit. In actuality, "on the warpath" was the literal path to war taken by Native American Indians when travelling to an enemy's territory to engage in battle. For some, the expression could mean that a person is exceedingly angry and is inclined to take some hostile action against another person.
The last phrase that is often inappropriately used is "let's have a pow-wow." The word pow-wow is actually derived from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning spiritual leader. A pow-wow is a social gathering for ceremonial purposes to honor American Indian culture. For some Native American tribes, a pow-wow is a spiritual retreat, which includes sacred ceremonies. Using this term out of context to refer to a meeting or a quick get-together with Native American Indian coworkers actually trivializes their beliefs and traditions and could be taken as offensive or disrespectful to their culture.
When conversing with others always remember that the comments you make, while meant well, could be taken as inappropriate, insensitive and sometimes even offensive to the people around you. By refraining from using the phrases mentioned above you will help us create a more inclusive environment that will allow for us to promote mutual respect, understanding, teamwork, harmony, pride and esprit de corps among all groups.

The funny thing about Cinco de Mayo is that although it is a festival of Mexican food, drinks, and parades replete with costumes and banderitas, it is more an American than a Mexican thing. Although Cinco de Mayo doesn't appear to be a federal holiday in the United States, it is celebrated nationally by virtue of a Congress resolution passed in 2005. It is not a federal holiday in Mexico either where the celebrations seem to be focused in the state of Puebla.
What is the significance of Cinco de Mayo?
During the second half of the 1800s following the Mexican-American war and a civil war, Mexico was almost bankrupt and a moratorium on all foreign debts was declared. France, one of the foreign creditors of Mexico, was not amused and, under Napoleon III, decided to attack Mexico.
To make a long story short, the superior French army was defeated by the poorly equipped Mexican army on May 5, 1862 in a battle that was fought in Peubla. It was not a decisive battle. In fact, it was a momentary victory because, a year later, the French were able to occupy Mexico. But the Battle of Puebla was a huge moral boost to the Mexican resistance. A David versus Goliath scenario which was, naturally, endlessly romanticized.
What's the American angle? Why is Cinco de Mayo such a big thing in the United States? At the time the Mexicans were fighting the French, America was in the midst of its own civil war. The North versus South episode in its history. According to some, the French so wanted to support the American south but were deprived of an opportunity to establish a base in Mexico to supply the southern Confederacy with arms and munition. So, the Puebla battle had some indirect benefit to America. Or so some say.
Although Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in California were said to have celebrated Cinco de Mayo since the 1860s, Cinco de Mayo did not start to become a huge American festival until the 1940s when, presumably during the antecedents of the "Chicano movement" that bloomed in the 1960s, the growing number of Mexican-Americans started spreading the festivities. Considering the large Mexican-American population in the United States, it is easy to imagine how the Cinco de Mayo festivities spread.
Still, Cinco de Mayo did not really become as popular as it is today until it was commercialized by alcohol marketers.
From National Geographic:
Then came the 1980s, and the commercialization of Cinco de Mayo.
This, Alamillo [professor of ethnic studies at Washington State University in Pullman] says, is when the meaning of the holiday changed from community self-determination to a drinking holiday for many people.
He says American corporations, particularly those selling alcohol, were eager to tap into the expanding Hispanic population in the U.S…"
Kate Sedgwick in Matador Nights sums it up nicely: "Really, it's an American holiday, and we celebrate it the way we do all holidays with other cultures as their focus (St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest, for example): By getting blind drunk." And it is from Ms. Sedgwick's article that Speedy and I got this recipe for México Lindo.
I'm not selling alcohol. I'm not a promoter for Cinco de Mayo either. I admit, however, that I am a huge fan of Mexican food and drinks including this México Lindo which we liked so very much. If you should decide to mix a México Lindo on May 5, just remember that there is so much more to Cinco de Mayo than getting blind drunk.
Recipe: México Lindo
- 2 shots of Tequila (measure with a shot glass)
- juice of one lime or lemon
- 2 generous splashes of Blue Curaçao
- Maraschino cherries, to garnish
- Half fill a shaker with ice.
- Pour in the Tequila, juice and Blue Curaçao. Shake.
- Pour into a martini glasses garnished with Maraschino cherries.
Preparation time: 2 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 2

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Team Blog
News and views from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Team
A frequent request I see from customers is how to view the CRM Parent Account field on their contacts synchronized from CRM to Outlook. The data is there, but on a user-defined field and not the Company field. Instead of writing up my own directions on how to view this, I thought I would point you to a good article written by one of our partners, Frank Lee of Workopia, Inc.
PingBack from http://www.accountmerchant.org/viewing-the-parent-account-for-crm-contacts-synchronized-to-outlook/
Hi Jason, i have looked through the workaround with regards to this problem. May i ask if this means that by doing this, all the fields in the Parent Account, including the Company Name Field to be updated as well?
Warmest Regards,
Under CRM 4.0 - the Outlook Contact's "Company Name" field is an option to be "updated" by the synched CRM Contact's "Parent Account" value. This option is set under the CRM Outlook Synch option area.

This is the first facial moisturizer with spf that doesn't cause a burn or rash on my face and neck. I have been fighting skin cancer for a couple of years - surgery twice and radiation treatments on my nose. Not using spf is not an option for me. I did a lot of research and tried many products and can say without doubt I have finally found one that works well and is easy to use. I have dry, sensitive skin and am very happy with this product. Before finding this the only other product that worked for me was Cyberderm sun whip but it's very thick and drying if not mixed with a moisturizer.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Black
This is a good SPF for my dry skin because of its hydrating properties. It is easy to apply and doesn't leave a white cast. It is meant for normal to dry skin types. Since it isn't mat, I'd say it's not the best choice for those with oily or combination skin.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine

This was one of my free samples when buying the smaller Resist package, and I find myself liking it more than I like the Resist moisturizer (which is a very good moisturizer itself). Moisture Boost leaves my skin nicely matte, and I can apply makeup almost immediately after using it. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin at all, which is a serious achievement from a face cream given that my building still didn't shut down the heating now in the middle of May in California, so I'm basically writing from a sauna, people. Send me your extra ice cubes. Please.

OMG, are these reviews fake?! This is such a chemical treated moisturizer, that it gave me an incredible rash! never again!

I discovered Paula's Choice last summer. Let's just say, I wish they had a rewards program! I am a complete convert and have loved everything I have tried. I am still in the process of trying out some of her products and while I enjoy using the Hydralight Spf30 as well as the Skin Recovery, I was still looking for something with more moisture. I have very dry skin and use the new Clinical 1% Retinol at night (which dries my skin out even more). After getting a little overzealous and using my 2% bha with the retinol, I had some serious peeling. Not just a peel here and there...oh no...my whole face was coming off in sheets. I stopped both the retinol and the bha for a few days. I used Evening Primrose oil and slathered on the CeraVe after exfoliating wit my Clarisonic. After things calmed down, I went back to my normal routine but started using Moisture Boost Spf 30 as my last step in my morning routine. I loved how this feels on my skin. I am light skinned and don't mind a bit of a white cast, but find this not to leave one. My skin looks fantastic and there is no end of day tightness to my cheeks either. The biggest change though is that at 48, I have stopped wearing foundation!! My skin looks so good and feels so hydrated that I can't bear the thought of putting something over it! I haven't experienced any ill effects (clogs, breakouts) from this moisturizer so it fits the bill perfectly. Hydralight worked nicely for me this summer as I was visiting family in the humid south. Skin Recovery is still in my arsenal and I will use it up (it is thicker and leaves more of a white cast, but is not as long term moisturizing as Moisture Boost) but I will continue to repurchase Moisture Boost Spf30 as an everyday moisturizer and sunscreen. Once again Paula, you hit it out of the park!!

I have tried hi-end and low-end and this is the FIRST spf product that DID NOT STING MY EYES and make me miserable all day!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is a chemical sunscreen with avobenzene stabilized with oxybenzene for uva support and an SPF of 30. This does feel slightly greasy but those with dry skin may appreciate that. I found this to be a lot like the other sunscreens she offers in appearance and texture.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Blue
This is very cosmetically elegant sunscreen if you have dry skin and prefer chemical. I would love to use mineral ss, but tend to dry my skin and give me bad breakouts. It feels like a very moisturizing cream and leaves no white and has no irritating scent. It passes for UVB under the BASF sunscreen simulator, but doesn't rate as well as the best European chemical SS or LPR SX Daily 15, which is very nice too. It gets a PPD 6. But it does have a lot of anti-oxidants which should boost it's effectiveness. On the down side it has Vit. A, which isn't good in sunlight I don't love that it has oxybenzone either. But at least it's stable and has UVA coverage. It does have a lovely texture that beats any sunscreen I have tried. It's so gentle and lovely to wear. It got me liking to wear sunscreen. I like some PC products, but I am not convinced she knows her stuff on sunscreen but at least she really pushes it.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
Unfortunately, this sunscreen doesn't work for me. After several days of use, my seborrheic dermatitis flares up, which I believe is due to the chemical sunscreen. However, I also had the same reaction to the Moisture Boost moisturizer, too, though it took many more days to react, so I could have been reacting to another ingredient. Thus, others will likely be fine with this product; it's just not for me.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This one is just not my favorite. It is not moisturizing enough. My skin looks extremely greasy when I apply it, and later it looks to dry and feels dehydrated, with huge pores. Also, it makes the flaky patches become extremely visible, whitish. I can only tolerate it with the most moisturizing toner and serum underneath, and in days of perfect skin. Interestingly the Resist Daily moisturizer SPF works better for me in the winter. I'll try to finnish mine next summer...

Even from space, Hong Kong's bright neon lights are impressive, said China's three astronauts who were back down on earth and visiting the city this weekend.
"The gorgeous lights of Hong Kong are dazzling from space," said Liu Wang, 43, one of the three astronauts on the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft that docked with China's Tiangong-1 space laboratory in June, marking China's fourth manned space mission since 2003.
The team that also includes Jing Haipeng, 45, and Liu Yang, 33, China's first female astronaut, are on a four-day publicity tour of the city. It is the group's first trip outside mainland China since landing their capsule in Inner Mongolia after a 13-day voyage.
The whirlwind tour adds a distinctly local twist to the typical post-flight victory lap. Read More »
The below commentary by Wall Street Journal Senior Editor Bob Davis drew considerable discussion on social media sites when it was posted earlier Wednesday on the Journal's Chinese-language website. Supporters of China's space program argued that it is a necessary step as China advances on the world stage and could challenge the U.S.'s strong position in space. Detractors said the country could better spend money on its considerable social and environmental problems. The column is reprinted here:
It made a lovely photo: three Chinese space explorers sitting on lawn chairs in the Inner Mongolian desert with their scorched Shenzhou-9 space capsule behind them. All three held bouquets of flowers for a job well done. Read More »

China successfully achieved its first manned space docking, an important step in the country's quest to launch a space station by around 2020; average housing prices in China fell in May at a gentler pace for a second consecutive month, signaling that the decline in property prices is stabilizing in response to government measures; Beijing announced it was withdrawing its fishing vessels from the disputed Scarborough Shoal due to storms and rough seas, following a similar announcement by Manila over the weekend.

Chinese authorities suspended family-planning officials who forced a woman to have a late-term abortion after news of the case sparked outrage online; China's top dairy producer recalled some milk powder products because of unusual levels of mercury in them, reigniting fears about the safety of the country's scandal-ridden dairy industry; China's launch of three astronauts Saturday, including its first woman, into space was the first step in a much-anticipated test of whether China can achieve its first manned space-docking.

Since China shocked the world by obliterating one of its aging weather satellites with a missile in 2007, it has struggled to reassure other countries of its peaceful intentions in space.
That's the background to a State Council white paper, released on Thursday, that reveals ambitious plans for space exploration over the next five years. As a follow-up to the last such report in 2006, it is partly meant to allay foreign concerns that China's space program is driven by military calculations. Read More »

China launched two satellites Wednesday as part of a decade-long rapid expansion of earth-monitoring capabilities that also buttress the country's growing military prowess.
Yaogan-12, the primary cargo of the launch, is the twelfth model in a series of "remote sensing" satellites that many analysts believe are tasked with gathering military intelligence. China, which has never acknowledged a defense-related launch, claims that the satellite will be used for "scientific experiments, land survey, crop yield assessment, and disaster monitoring."
China has recently shown more concerted focus on military reconnaissance satellites, which are key components of its plans for a more integrated and aware People's Liberation Army. This is a change from the 1990s when Chinese satellites were often dual-use, serving both military and civilian functions Read More »
If China's anticorruption crusade is working so well in cleaning up the Communist party, why is Beijing worried that some think that the campaign is really just a struggle for political power?
A trio of recent repressive actions by the Chinese party-state illustrates how far Beijing is willing to go to snuff out dissent.
Many observers now wonder whether the recent hammering of China's stocks and currency will have political fallout for Communist Party leaders. Not likely, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
The economy may eclipse politics as a concern for Beijing in 2016, but in China the two are always closely intertwined. CRT analyst Russell Leigh Moses outlines three major political questions that will loom over China in the months to come.
The conviction -- and disbarment -- of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang sends a stern warning to other lawyers and to other citizens who speak out against Communist Party policy.

Planetary Collegium
The Planetary Collegium is an international research platform that promotes the integration of art, science, technology, and consciousness research, under the rubric of technoetic arts. It is based in Plymouth University, with nodes in Lucerne, Trento, and Shanghai. Its president is Roy Ascott.
The Planetary Collegium was founded in 1994 at what is now the University of Wales, Newport as the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts (CAiiA) by Roy Ascott.[1]
Three years later, Ascott established STAR (Science Technology and Art Research) in the School of Computing, University of Plymouth. CAiiA-STAR constituted a joint research platform, with access to supervisory and technical resources of both universities.
In 2003, Ascott relocated the platform to Plymouth University, renaming it the Planetary Collegium.
Since 1997, the Collegium has given over fifty conferences and symposia in Europe, North and South America, Japan, China and Australia.
The Collegium aims to produce new knowledge in the context of the arts, through transdisciplinary inquiry and critical discourse, with special reference to technoetic research and to advances in science and technology.[2] Its seeks to reflect the social, technological and spiritual aspirations of an emerging planetary society, while sustaining a critical awareness of the retrograde forces and fields that inhibit social and cultural development. It combines the face-to-face association of individuals with the trans-cultural unity of telematic communities, thereby developing a network of research nodes strategically located across the planet, each with a distinctive cultural ethos. The Collegium seeks outcomes that involve new language, systems, structures, and behaviours, and insights into the nature of mind, matter and human identity. [2]
The Planetary Collegium consists of artists, theoreticians and scholars working within the context of transdisciplinarity and syncretism so as to develop their research in the practice and theory of new media art with a special interest in telematics and technoetics. Their doctoral research leads to the award of the University of Plymouth PhD. Post-doctoral research is also pursued. It has attracted an impressive number of internationally well-established artists, musicians, performers, designers, architects, theorists and scholars involved in doctoral and post-doctoral research.
The hub of the Collegium, CAiiA-Hub (the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in Integrative Arts) is situated in the School of Art and Media, Faculty of Arts, Plymouth University.[1] Its Nodes are T-Node [3] in Trento, De Tao-Node [4] in Shanghai, and NGL-Node [5] in Lucerne.
In addition to doctoral candidates and graduates, supervisors and honorary members, its constituency also includes general members, who share the aims and interests of the Collegium, and are invited to participate in its development [6].
The Planetary Collegium has geographically dispersed members and frequent research sessions and public conferences in Asia, Australia, the Americas and Europe.
The Collegium was awarded The World Universities Forum Award for Best Practice in Higher Education 2011.[3]

Agness on the Bed III
Tremendous shot - awesome. One of your best.
Those eyes could melt any man... Like windows to her soul
very nice
photo that force to bend a neck . Very good one!
Wow, this is a keeper. Absolutely beautiful, and keep the boob/nipple. I love all of it
What beautiful eyes!, lovely pic!
WOW... How Captivating is this Image!??!?!!!!! Spectacular! Kudos, and Thank You for sharing!
Beautiful eyes.
In my opinion the bare boob does distract me more than it adds to the picture. You may consider a bra or something to emphasize the body line but hide the obvious?
Other than that, a beautiful model and a wonderful sight
Other than that, a beautiful model and a wonderful sight
The nipple is necessary to keep the viewers eye in the photo for a longer period of time. For me: The eye sees the face, gravitates to the nipple, studies the nipple, follows the fabrics, examines the beauty of the face, appreciates the whole. Cover the nipple and the photo is unbalanced and the eye spends much less time in the photo.
Yes, her bare breast also caught my attention immediately. But it's such a perfect looking breast.
Possibly drape the semi-see through shirt over the nipple instead of going so far as to put on a bra. It would tone down the part the bare boob plays in the image while not hiding it entirely?
Beautiful image! Great eye contact, very strong model. Well done!

"Postina's contagiously hooky and energetic pop approach to rock 'n' roll paired with balmy female vocals make liking Postina an easy jump. It's likable music, with solid lyricism and a radio-friendly ease and bounce that explains why the band was RAW Minneapolis' 2011 "Musician Of The Year." Postina brings a bit more substance to the game, and its sophomore release, Nero, is proof of that."
"[Minneapolis] alternarockers Postina rose to fame last summer when they made the [finals] of the Cities 97 Basilica Block Party Battle of the Bands competition only six short months after having formed. Quickly capitalizing on their initial success, the band headed to the recording studio last fall…."
"Postina's song Northstar was voted track of the day on garageband.com."
"Postina was awarded Best Female Vocals in Pop Rock, for the week on garageband.com."

Inflation can determine a currency's purchasing power as high inflation means rising prices. But what drives inflation differs from region to region. In this podcast we talk with Oral Williams, IMF Mission Chief for Malawi and coauthor of a new research paper that shows the drivers of inflation are changing in sub-Saharan Africa.

Press Release: IMF Staff Completes Review Mission to Guinea
Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa
Growth in sub-Saharan Africa has weakened after more than a decade of solid growth, although this overall outlook masks considerable variation across the region. Some countries have been negatively affected by falling prices of their main commodity exports. Oil-exporting countries, including Nigeria and Angola, have been hit hard by falling revenues and the resulting fiscal adjustments, while middle-income countries such as Ghana, South Africa, and Zambia are also facing unfavorable conditions. This October 2015 report discusses the fiscal and monetary policy adjustments necessary for these countries to adapt to the new environment. Chapter 2 looks at competitiveness in the region, analyzing the substantial trade integration that accompanied the recent period of high growth, and policy actions to nurture new sources of growth. Chapter 3 looks at the implications for the region of persistently high income and gender inequality and ways to reduce them.
Monitoring and Managing Fiscal Risks in the East African Community
Monitoring and managing fiscal risks—defined as the possibility of deviations of fiscal outcomes from what was expected at the time of the budget or other forecast—are always key aspects of policymaking. Their importance in the East African Community (EAC, consisting of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) is reinforced by the drive toward the East African Monetary Union (EAMU). Indeed, fiscal risks are unlikely to be fully captured by headline fiscal indicators—such as the deficit and debt of the government—that will serve as convergence criteria for the EAMU.
Toward a Monetary Union in the East African Community
In late 2013 the East African Community (EAC) countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda) signed a joint protocol setting out the process and convergence criteria for an EAC monetary union. The signing of the protocol represents a further step toward regional economic integration. It follows ratification of the protocols for a customs union (2005) and the common market (2010). Envisaged in 2024 is the introduction of a common currency to replace the national currencies of member countries.
Building Resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa's Fragile States
Fragile states—states in which the government is unable to deliver basic services and security to the population—face severe and entrenched obstacles to economic and human development. While definitions of fragility and country circumstances differ, fragile states generally have a combination of weak and non-inclusive institutions, poor governance, low capacity, and constraints in pursuing a common national interest. As a result, these countries typically display an elevated risk of both political instability (including civil conflict), and economic instability (through a low level of public service provision, inadequate economic management, and difficulties to absorb or respond to shocks). Crises in such countries can also have significant adverse spillovers on other countries. In contrast, resilience can be defined as a condition where institutional strength, capacity, and social cohesion are sufficiently strong for the state to promote security and development and to respond effectively to shocks.
Pan-African Banking : Opportunities and Challenges for Cross-Border Oversight
Pan-African banks are expanding rapidly across the continent, creating cross-border networks, and having a systemic presence in the banking sectors of many Sub-Saharan African countries. These banking groups are fostering financial development and economic integration, stimulating competition and efficiency, introducing product innovation and modern management and information systems, and bringing higher skills and expertise to host countries. At the same time, the rise of pan-African banks presents new challenges for regulators and supervisors. As networks expand, new channels for transmission of macro-financial risks and spillovers across home and host countries may emerge. To ensure that the gains from cross border banking are sustained and avoid raising financial stability risks, enhanced cross-border cooperation on regulatory and supervisory oversight is needed, in particular to support effective supervision on a consolidated basis. This paper takes stock of the development of pan-African banking groups; identifies regulatory, supervisory and resolution gaps; and suggests how the IMF can help the authorities address the related challenges.
IMF Opens Africa Training Institute in Mauritius
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on June 26, 2014 opened the Africa Training Institute (ATI) in Ebene, Mauritius, adding an important regional center to a global network of centers helping to develop countries' policymaking capacity by transferring economic skills and best practices.

It's a crime what happened to the wonderful African wilderness movie "Duma" in 2005. Beautifully directed by "Black Stallion" and "Fly Away Home" veteran Carroll Ballard, "Duma" fell flat in the United States because of bad timing and abysmal marketing. Maybe they should have called it "A Boy and His Cheetah," but no matter — it took in less than a million dollars across the country.
Busy or jaded critics rarely champion movies targeted at children, and "Duma" jumps the genres by refusing to pander. Its lyrical shots of forbidding and foreboding African spaces appeal to adults as much as the boy-and-cat story draws in children, so "Duma" got stuck. No reason to mourn, though, because it's a steady favorite on DVD rotation, and well worth exposing your children to.
Sit down and watch with them as young Xan loses his father and gains a cheetah. Duma the safari cat loses his mother in a chilling opening scene pitting lion against cheetah. Xan raises Duma at home, and the lean, compact energy of the cheetah's body draws the camera lens everywhere Duma moves.
When Xan's widowed mother must move to the city, Xan strikes out cross-country with Duma to return the big cat to the wilderness where he was born. He links up with a possibly friendly, potentially dangerous roustabout named Ripkuna (Eamonn Walker), and they flee across desert and down river.
Their trip evokes many old legends, not the least of which is "Huckleberry Finn." Racial tensions play subtly in the movie, with Xan from a relatively privileged background and Ripkuna wary of all white faces.

Pay Johnson what he's worth
As a lower first-round pick, Titans RB is paying price for outperforming his contract
Originally Published: June 3, 2010By John Clayton | ESPN.com
For the Tennessee Titans and most likely every other team in the NFL, it's easy to dismiss the contract demands of running back Chris Johnson.He's entering the third year of a $9.226 million contract that runs through 2012. He's 24, reasonably young for a running back. The No. 24 overall selection in the 2008 draft, he's coming off a 2,006-rushing-yard season. The Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson, drafted a year ahead of Johnson, isn't close ...

It seems the love affair the Obama administration currently enjoys with the mainstream media has recently hit some bumpy spots that might make Tiger Woods blush. Well, it's not that bad. Yet.
Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post has an interesting piece today on how the White House has lashed out at CBS News for posting an online column from a right-leaning blogger leveling some serious allegations. The blogger, former Bush official Ben Domenech, states Obama would certainly "please" his base by naming the first openly gay justice to the highest court in the land. He's referring to the sexual orientation of the current Solicitor General Elena Kagan, widely believed to be one of the president's leading candidates to replace Justice Stevens on the Supreme Court.
When the blog was initially posted, CBS refused to take it down, prompting many at the Casa Blanca to bluntly question the journalistic standards of CBS.
This latest kerfufle is symptomatic of larger behind-the-scenes backbiting between the White House press shop and its press corps. Just last weekend, the Post sent out a system-wide email to its readers on how the president had given them all the slip and ducked out of town for a few hours. The horror! He went to watch his daughter's soccer game, yet the inference was a major new presidential protocol was being established. The AP story the Post relayed led with the headline, "Obama breaches years of president/press tradition" and then later went on to state (oh so humbly!): "The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes, inside and outside the country, to report on the president's activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record."
Just this week, the Post further highlighted the growing tensions in a profile piece of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, complaining the administration's top spokesman is notoriously difficult to get on the phone as deadlines approach and that the White House is turning more to social networking tools to make news. It ended by saying a group of news organizations will meet with Gibbs later this month to express what they feel is the administration's "contempt for the press."

Good thing I have today off from work and that there is a 31st day in July. Otherwise I might have missed posting something for the month of July. Her hair was so much fun to draw and color! I was going to try colored lineart for this picture, but haven't adjusted them yet. I'd rather get this submitted before the night is over and go back and poke at the lines later. I wish I would have made her face a little thinner in this picture too. Oh well. When I go back to college I'll have much more time for art.
Look Amazing!
So beautiful.
She is very beautiful.You have did an amazing job on her.
Wow, that's probably the longest and silkiest hair I've seen on an anthro O.O

Hard to tell if it works
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by NinaNystuen on Sep 19, 2013
It is very hard to apply throughout the scalp as the applicator doesn't hold much liquid at a time. Therefore it is very hard to tell if it actually works or not. But it smells good though, and it felt good at the edge of the hairline (which was the only place I actually could apply it thourougly enough).
Will repurchase
Posted by Flicka on Jul 05, 2014
For the low price this seems like a nice soothing serum for my itchy scalp.

This is amazing! It helps really really well with the itchiness! I use it with the rest of the wellness system series, and my head and hair hasn't felt this good in years:)
Seems to be helping...

That's one of many entries Bruce Curry kept a diary of his service with the Army Air Corp's 449th Bomb Group during World War Two. After a year of college, he enlisted in 1943. He and school sweetheart Eunice, better known as "Skippy", married before he shipped out as a navigator on a B-24.
"And when I went into the service I wanted to be a pilot," Curry recalled. "And they said you're eye sight is not good enough. I went through navigation school rather than flight training."
Curry and the crew of the bomber they dubbed "Our Baby" were among the first replacements dispatched to Grottaglie, Italy. Before taking on enemy targets, the crew kept watch over each other. That included the time when the tail gunner didn't respond to an intercom check. Curry had to find out why.
"And he had gone into the tail gun turret and sat down on his oxygen cord, oxygen connection," Curry said. "So he had passed out. It could have been curtains for all of us if some fighter tried to knock us out of the sky."
The 449th took on some heavily fortified targets during Curry's tour. Among them were oil fields in Ploesti, Romania.
"Because that was what supplied all of the oil and grease and everything and gasoline for their airplanes," Curry said.
After being credited for 50 missions, Curry's crew rotated back home. After the war, he never talked about his experiences. But after his daughters and grandchildren came of age, he's opened up more. Events like the "Old Glory Honor Flight" made it easier to share.
"I had expected a little more recognition for what I had done. And I didn't know whether these boys were aware of what I had done," he said.
At 90, Bruce Curry is keeping quiet no more.
Local 5's Terry Kovarik has the story.

Very Short Reviews Of Difficult Books
Ah, classic literary fiction. It can be so wonderful, but at times dense, leaving us wishing for a guide to lead us through the venerable prose. Enter: Italian artist and writer Francesco D'Isa, who reviews the classics in a candid, tongue-in-cheek (and very short) way. We're happy to bring his column, "Very Short Reviews of Difficult Books," to English language readers! Check back here every Wednesday for three new reviews from Francesco.
Tristes Tropiques by C. Lévi -Strauss
"I hate travelling and explorers [...] Adventure has no place in the anthropologists profession; it is merely one of those unavoidable drawbacks." Thus begins a rare balance between an adventure novel and an anthropology essay; a work that has obviously inspired Indiana Jones (There are also Nazis!).
Plot: The life of the ethnographer.
Rating: 94 out of 100.
For Whom the Bell Tolls by H. Hemingway
There are authors who can steal the fire of life from Hell just because they had a love affair. Others, less sensitive but equally profound, need more, like a war. Hemingway excels in the last category.
Plot: A guy goes to war.
Rating: 90 out of 100
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by M. Kundera
Kundera is another simplifier of depth, with the exotic charm of central Europe. If you can deal with the fact that he seems to court you, it's a good book; but only if you have read fewer than 50 books and you are younger than 25.
Plot: Sex, communism and a bit of philosophy.
Rating: 71 out of 100
