State Crime: Governments, Violence and Corruption

The study of state crime-crimes committed by states-constitutes one of the most crucial fields of criminology, for it reveals and examines various aspects of the modern state's structure and its legitimating power in relation to crimes committed by governments. Although crimes committed by states are the most serious ones, research about them has so far not been able to provide a concrete and profound sociological analysis on the topic. This is exactly where Penny Green and Tony Ward's contribution lies, in the form of State Crime: Governments, Violence and Corruption.
An important issue relating to state crime is that of its very nature. If a crime is an act defined by the state and its institutional mechanisms, then who is to define state crime? The epistemological problem of defining state crime has probably been one of the reasons why the research category 'state crime' has been marginalised by contemporary criminology. The authors offer a new approach to state crime, defining it as 'state organisational deviance involving the violation of human rights' (p. 2), and they underline the role of civil society in 'defining state actions as illegitimate where they violate legal rules or shared moral beliefs' (p. 4). In their Gramscian perspective on 'civil society', they argue that 'civil society can label state actions as deviant' (p. 4) and can therefore push such actions to the centre of the public agenda.
In order to explain the concepts involved in their definition of state crime, they focus on three aspects. First, they discuss the state not only in Marxist terms-on the basis of Engels's notion of the state and of Gramsci's concept of 'hegemony'-but also with reference to Weber's 'monopoly of the legitimate use of force' (p. 2). As they note, 'All states, from the most autocratic to the most liberal, share one crucial characteristic: they claim an entitlement to do things which if anyone else did them would constitute violence and extortion' (p. 3). second, using the term Organisational deviance' they categorise state crime as a form of crime 'along with corporate crime, organised crime, and the neglected area of crime by charities, churches and other non-profit bodies' (p. 5). According to the authors, basic criminological concepts such as control, motivation and opportunity structures can be applied to organisational deviance just as well as to individuals (p. 5). Third, they use the concept of human rights, as ratified by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and by the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights (1966) and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966), and seek to explain the 'enormous gap between the normative ideal of human rights ... and the selective and hypocritical promotion of such rights by powerful states and transnational institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The role that human rights play in the strategies of such states and institutions can in our view be understood in terms of the concept of global hegemony' (p. 9).
Green and Ward explore various forms of state crime, and use case studies from different parts of the world. Corruption, a form of so-called 'whitecollar' (and state) crime, 'which victimises people indirectly and without their knowledge' (p. 11), includes 'the form of simple bribery, of an exchange of "favours" between state and non-state actors, or of the embezzlement which is tolerated as an informal "perk" of an official position' (p. …

"I have purchased New Balance running and walking shoes for many years. I have consistently ordered a 10D, in a number of different models, and have been able to rely on getting a good fit. Not needing to bother trying different sizes has been a convenient feature that has drawn me to New Balance - especially for a web order. The 959v2 10Ds were too small. I returned them."

Yes, I recommend this product.
"Since New Balance dropped their "last" sizing information, it has become very difficult to determine what the actual size of a selected shoe is. Their old system was foolproof once a customer found a last which fit - now, that information has been deleted, and it's a real guessing game to get a proper fit - usually requiring several returns for a different size. Once renowned for building shoes on a variety of lasts, New Balance has fallen to the level of the rest of the industry. My recommendation is conditional in view of this factor."

"I don't like the fact that I have hard time finding the same shoe from year to year. I find one I like then no longer available. This pair was funny when I first put them on. Felt to short in the back didn't stay on right. Never had a shoe that did that. I wore them outdoors so sending back wasn't an option. I have tightened the laces a great deal and seems to be better. Shoes are typical good quality I counted on, no complaints there. If I was in a store and tried these on I would not have purchased them, BUT I would have looked at a different NB shoe because of the many pairs and years I have had very good experiences with these products."

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., announced Wednesday that he will convene a hearing on Feb. 13 to consider the nomination of White House Chief of Staff Jacob "Jack" Lew to be the next Treasury Secretary.
Lew is sure to face a tough grilling from lawmakers, as President Barack Obama's recent swath of nominations have been challenged by the courts.
Baucus, while in favor of Lew as Timothy Geithner's replacement, said in a statement that he will question Lew about his experience, his views on fiscal policy and ideas for spurring economic growth.
"We have a tremendous amount of work to do over the next couple months to get our fiscal house in order. It is my hope that—after a thorough vetting process—Jack Lew will be quickly confirmed so he can help tackle our country's pressing economic issues," Baucus said.
President Obama nominated Lew on Jan. 10 to replace the retiring Treasury Secretary Geithner.
Geithner plans to write a book about the U.S. response to the 2008 financial crisis, according to Bloomberg.
Geithner, 51, will write about his decision-making role at the Treasury the last four years and as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 to 2009, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Geithner also plans to join the Council on Foreign Relations in February as a full-time distinguished fellow in New York, the news agency reported.

The number of homes repossessed in the United States hit a nine-month high in November.
Foreclosure listing firm Realty Trac said banks completed foreclosure on more than 59,000 homes last month. That's an increase of 11 percent from October and up 5 percent from November 2011.
But the number of homes entering the foreclosure process sank to it's lowest number since 2006 to about 77,500.
Bank repossessions, however, remain high. They are on pace to exceed 650,000 this year, down from 800,000 last year.
The data found that Florida had the highest foreclosure rate, twice the national rate.

Such a wonderful art museum with great permanent collection - and free! Only the temporary or special exhibits have a fee. The location is nice with other cultural attractions within walking distance.
People associate Cleveland with the Rock & Roll Museum but this art museum should be on the "must see" attraction list. It is such a delightful surprise to have a museum with this high caliber of permanent collection available for locals and visitors alike - without admission. The space is nice and staff is helpful and friendly.
Would definitely recommend. Would absolutely return.

A Life Free of Gum Disease Is One Good Reason To Keep Smiling Everyday!
Have you ever thought what your life would be like, if you are not suffering from gum disease? No more bleeding gums every time you brush, painful brushing and foul breath that really stinks badly, so much that other people turn their heads every time you open your mouth. Think about it and imagine what life would be, if you do not have to experience the pain and embarrassment of having gum disease.
You can be free of gum disease without paying thousands of dollars on painful, costly and no guarantee treatment if you want. But the most essential thing other than saving money is the fact that you can save your teeth, which is far more precious if you ask me. You can smile every day without worrying about your breath and teeth, because it is possible and without having to do anything special, other than spending a few dollars a month to be free of gum disease.
All over the world, there are people living with the symptoms of gum disease such as bad breath disease, receding gums, bleeding gums and loose teeth when there is no reason to do so. Today, you can be free of gum disease and its symptoms by choosing to be open-minded and realized that sometimes, all it takes is just a simple product – Nature's Smile.
Why You Need To Stop Gum Disease, Today!
If you think that you can simply ignore gum disease then you are mistaken. Whether you admit you have the disease or not, the mouth problem is going to stay and will slowly destroy your gums unless you act now, and do something about it. Every minute you waste increases the chance of losing teeth one day, since the bacteria will tear down the tissue that supports your teeth. You can buy the best treatment to fix the problem cause by gum disease but nothing can replace the healthy gums and teeth that you will destroy because of your ignorance and stubbornness.
A person diagnosed with heart disease, cancer and diabetes is even more at risk if they ignore gum disease. If you are waiting for a better time to start treating gum disease because you feel that you are not financially and physically prepared to undertake surgery or other costly treatment know that there is a better way to get rid of the problem. You can stop gum disease even if you do not have any serious savings, as long as you are willing to start the treatment because there is no best time to start but now.
The Advantage of Early Treatment of Gum Disease
• You can stop the advancement of periodontal disease to periodontitis by eliminating the bacteria that causes the problem. There are different types of bacteria, but no matter how aggressive they are, you can easily defeat them by starting the gum disease treatment, today.
• Early treatment of gum disease can stop bleeding gums quickly and the disease from worsening, while increasing your chance of success in defeating the problem.
• Immediate reduction of swollen and inflamed tissue is possible with early treatment.
• If you do not want to have long tooth then treating gum disease immediately can lead to successful reversal of receding gums.
• Plaque collects in the teeth, causing the development of tartar and then gingivitis. You can stop gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease from forming when you undertake treatment as soon as possible.
• Reducing periodontal pockets size quickly, effectively and safely is possible with early treatment of gum disease.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
• Redness or bleeding of gums while brushing the teeth, flossing and biting or chewing hard food is a common signs of trouble ahead.
• Swelling of gums
• Receding gums
• Deep pockets
• Bad breath and funny taste on the mouth
• Loose teeth
• Gingival recession
The Symptoms of Gum Disease Does Not Matter with The Right Treatment
Having one or all of the symptoms of gum disease can be scary and embarrassing but only if you do nothing to stop the problem from worsening and becoming obvious. Nature's Smile is a highly effective, safe and natural treatment that you can rely on to deal with gum disease or periodontitis. Nature's Smile Oral Balm can transform your mouth like you never dreamed of possible in just a few short weeks of use. You can regain your confidence by having a nice smelling breath and healthy gums, something that you have not experience in a long time.
Nature's Smile is the cure, the perfect solution for stopping and reversing the damage done by gum disease.
In just a few easy steps, you can kiss your gum disease goodbye forever…
• Just simply brush using your normal toothpaste, so you can loosen and dislodged food particles stuck between teeth.
• Brush again but using Nature's Smile to kill the bacteria that invades the mouth daily. Nature's Smile oral balm is a thick paste, when use for brushing the teeth will penetrate the deep pockets to kill the bacteria living inside and impossible to remove by brushing alone.
• Brush teeth twice or three times a day with Nature's Smile

How Nature's Smile Special Formulation Works In Fighting Microorganism That Attacks the Mouth…
Brushing your teeth daily with Nature's Smile will kill the germs that invade the mouth. The active ingredients slowly attack the microorganism that is also attacking the bone that supports the teeth.

There is no other natural product available in the market that could fight gum disease and other oral problems caused by the disease, making Nature's Smile formula simply unique.
Why Nature's Smile Different from the Other So-Called Gum Disease Cures
These days, you will find numerous advertisements online and offline promoting periodontal disease cure. Some of the products promoted as the ultimate cure contain sodium bicarbonate or peppermint to make the breath fresh even for an hour or so. But of course, temporary solution to bad breath is not a sign that gum disease is cured, and that the problem will not come back, because if these products are real and effective then chronic bad breath and tooth loss is no longer a problem.
Nature's Smile is different because it is not just a cure but just the most effective treatment for gum disease, and you can easily tell difference by once you start using it.
What's in Nature's Smile that Makes It Highly Effective in Stopping Gingivitis and Reversing Gum Disease

Historical Moments:
2009: On March 19th Professional Soccer made a triumph return to Seattle, as the Seattle Sounders, named after Seattle NASL team made it's debut with a 3-0 win over Red Bull New York, who played in the previous years MLS Cup. Scoring the first goal for the Sounders was Fredy Montero. The Sounders would use their huge home field advantage to three straight wins to start their inaugural season as they proved early on they would not be a typical expansion team. They would have almost the same amount of ties and wins and they would surge to the playoffs with a record of 12-7-11. During the season, the Sounders would not sink lower than fifth place. In the first round, the Houston Dynamo used a Brian Ching goal in extra time of the second leg to eliminate the Sounders. In the midst of the season, the Sounders won the US Open Cup, replicating the accomplishment of the Chicago Fire.
2010: Unable to match the hot start from their inaugural year, the Sounders spent much of the season before the World Cup break in the bottom half of the West. Eventually, the team would heat up again and use a seven match unbeaten streak and a five game winning streak to propel themselves back to the playoffs with a record of 14-10-6. Their stay in the playoffs would be brief as the LA Galaxy beat them 3-1 on aggregate. On a side note, the Sounders successfully defended their US Open Cup, beating the Columbus Crew in the final.
2011: The Sounders would start the season 0-2-2. That would only prove as a warm-up act for the rest of the season as the Sounders played much better during the spring and summer. There were no long wining streaks, but there were no long losing streaks either as the Sounders used a 5-0-2 run during the summer and a 7-2-0 stretch ending the year to finish second in the West with a solid record of 18-7-9. But in the playoffs, they were upset by Real Salt Lake 3-2 on aggregate.
2012: Looking to continue adding to their impressive resume after three seasons as a club, the Sounders won seven of their first nine matches to start the year to challenge the Earthquakes for the top spot in the West early on. But a nine game winless streak brought the club back to earth as they struggled to regain their early form and finished the season 15-8-11 and in third place. Against Real Salt Lake in the playoffs, the Sounders finally advanced for the first time as Mario Roberto Martinez scored in the 81st minute of the second leg in Utah for the surprise result. But their dreams of a first MLS Cup appearance were vanquished against the Los Angeles Galaxy, going quietly 4-2 on aggregate.
2013: The Sounders struggled out of the gate going winless in their first five before surging with seven wins in their next ten. On August 3, the Sounders transferred Clint Dempsey from Tottenham Hotspur and his arrival sent shockwaves through MLS. As for the Sounders, he helped them win eight of their next twelve to help qualify for the playoffs in fourth place at 15-12-7. A 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on goals by Brad Evans and Eddie Johnson extended their season. Unfortunately for the team, their rivals to the south, the Portland Timbers ended their season in the next round 5-3 on aggregate.
2014: Continuing to knock on the door of their first domestic championship, the Sounders began the season on a 7-2-1 stretch, which included a five match winning streak. The double trouble tandem of Obafemi Martins with 17 goals and Clint Dempsey with 15 goals made the club very tough to beat. The Sounders would clinch their first Supporter's Shield, finishing on top of MLS at 20-10-4. In addition, they would defeat Philadelphia in the US Open Cup final on September 16, their fourth such title. In the first round of the playoffs the Sounders snuck by FC Dallas 1-1, using an away goal in the first leg to move on. That same tiebreaker would sink the Sounders in the conference final as the LA Galaxy beat them 2-2, the visitors' goal in the second match being the difference and again denying Seattle a spot in MLS Cup.

Recognize Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
In this article
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. Usually the symptoms get better, but then come back. Some may come and go, while others linger.
Keep track of your symptoms to help your doctor monitor the course of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment..
Recommended Related to Multiple Sclerosis
People with a lifelong condition like multiple sclerosis (MS) are always on the lookout for a new treatment that might improve, or even cure, their disease. In the last few years, there's been a lot of buzz about a vein condition called CCSVI and its possible connection to MS. However, this connection is very controversial. Some researchers say treating CCSVI can relieve MS symptoms. Others say CCSVI isn't even real. They compare it to the snake venom, bee stings, and other dubious "cures" that...
Read the CCSVI and Multiple Sclerosis article > >
Whether you have a diagnosis or are worried about symptoms, know that MS doesn't have to control your life. You can work with your doctor to treat and manage your symptoms so you can stay healthy and continue to live the life you want.
Early Symptoms of MS
- Blurred or double vision
- Thinking problems
- Clumsiness or a lack of coordination
- Loss of balance
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness in an arm or leg
No two people have exactly the same symptoms of MS.
You may have a single symptom, and then go months or years without any others. A problem can also happen just one time, go away, and never return. For some people, the symptoms become worse within weeks or months.
Common Symptoms of MS
These are the most common changes to the mind and body in someone with MS. Keep in mind that the severity of symptoms varies greatly and many people go years with only mild symptoms that come and go.
Unusual sensations: People with MS often say they feel a "pins and needles" sensation. They may also have numbness, itching, burning, stabbing, or tearing pains. About half of people with MS have these uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, they can be managed or treated.
Bladder problems: About 8 in 10 people have bladder problems, which can be treated. You may need to urinate more often, need to go at night, or have trouble emptying your bladder fully. Bowel problems, especially constipation, are also common.
Trouble walking: MS can cause muscle weakness or spasms, which make it more difficult to walk. Balance problems, numb feet, and fatigue can also make walking more difficult.
Dizziness: You may feel dizzy or lightheaded. You usually won't have vertigo, or the feeling that the room is spinning.

Yeonsangun of Joseon
|Yeonsangun of Joseon

|I Yung
|Yi Yung
|Monarchs of Korea
|Joseon dynasty
Yeonsan-gun (23 November 1476 – 20 November 1506, r. 1494–1506), born Yi Yung, was the 10th king of Korea's Joseon Dynasty. He was the eldest son of Seongjong by his second wife, Lady Yoon. He is often considered the worst tyrant in Joseon Dynasty, notorious for launching two bloody purges of the seonbi elite. He also seized a thousand women from the provinces to serve as palace entertainers, and appropriated the Seonggyungwan hall of study as a personal pleasure ground. Because he was overthrown, Yeonsan-gun did not receive a temple name.
Execution of his mother[edit]
Deposed Queen Yoon, formally known as Queen Jeheon, served Prince Yeonsan's father, Seongjong, as a concubine until the death of Queen Gonghye, Seongjong's first wife. With no royal heir, the king was urged by counselors to take a second wife to secure the royal succession. Lady Yoon was chosen for her beauty, and was formally married in 1476. Several months later, she gave birth to her first son, Yi Yung, later to become Prince Yeonsan. The new queen proved to be temperamental and highly jealous of Seongjong's concubines living inside the palace, even poisoning one in 1477. In 1479, she physically struck the king one night, leaving scratch marks. Despite efforts to conceal the injury, Seongjong's mother, Grand Queen Insu, discovered the truth and ordered Lady Yoon, now known as the Deposed Queen Yoon, into exile. After several popular attempts to restore the deposed Queen to her position at court, government officials petitioned that she be poisoned, and she was.
Two purges[edit]
The Crown Prince grew up and succeeded Seongjong in 1494. During his early reign, he was a wise and able administrator who strengthened the national defense and aided poor people. He also showed signs of violent side when he killed Jo Sa-seo, one of his tutors, soon after becoming the king. He eventually learned what happened to his biological mother and tried to restore his mother's title and position posthumously. When the government officials belonging to political faction called Sarim opposed his efforts on the account of Seongjong's will, he was displeased and looked for ways to eliminate them. In 1498 Kim Il Son, a disciple of Kim Jong-jik, included a paragraph in the royal record that was critical of King Sejo's usurpation of throne in 1455. Kim Il Son and other followers of Kim Jong-jik were accused of treason by a rival faction, which gave Yeonsangun enough cause to order execution of many Sarim officials[1] and mutilation of Kim Jong-jik's remains. This is called the First Literati Purge of 1498 (무오사화 戊午士禍).
In 1504, Im Sa-hong revealed to Yeonsangun details of his mother's death and showed blood-stained piece of clothing, which was allegedly blood vomited by her after drinking poison.[2] Soon afterward, on March 20, 1504, Yeonsangun beat to death two of his father's concubines,[3] for their responsibility for his mother's death. His grandmother, Grand Queen Insu,[4] died when she was pushed by Yeonsagun after one of the altercations. He executed many government officials who supported the execution of his mother, now posthumously known as Queen Jeheon, and ordered the grave of Han Myeong-hoi to be opened and the head cut off the corpse. He even punished officials known simply to be present at the royal court at that time, for the crime of not preventing the actions of those who abused his mother.[5] Meanwhile, Im Sa-hong was promoted, and he and his allies received many important offices and other awards.[6] This is known as the Second Literati Purge of 1504 (갑자사화 甲子士禍).
Suppression of speech and learning[edit]
He also closed Seonggyeongwan, the royal university, as well as Wongak-sa temple. and converted it to his pleasure grounds, for which young girls and horses were gathered from the whole Korean Peninsula. He intended to open brothels in their place.[7] He demolished a large residential area in the capital and evicted 20,000 residents to build hunting grounds.[8] He also forced people into involuntary labor to work on those projects. Many commoners mocked and insulted the king with posters written in hangul. This provoked the anger of Yeonsangun, and he banned the use of hangul.
When ministers protested his actions, he abolished the Office of Censors (whose function was to criticize inappropriate actions or policies of the king) and Hongmoongwan (library and research center that advised the king with Confucian teachings).[9] He ordered his ministers to wear a sign that read: "A mouth is a door that brings in disaster; a tongue is a sword that cuts off a head. A body will be in peace as long as its mouth is closed and its tongue is deep within." (口是禍之門 舌是斬身刀 閉口深藏舌 安身處處牢).)[10] When the chief eunuch Kim Cheo-sun, who served three kings, entreated Yeonsangun to change his ways, the latter killed him by shooting arrows and personally cutting off his limbs, and punished his relatives down to the 7th degree.[clarification needed] When Yeonsangun asked the royal secretaries whether such punishment was appropriate, they didn't dare to say otherwise.[11] He also exiled a minister of rites for spilling a drink that he had poured.
Many people were afraid of his despotic rule and their voices were quelled, in stark contrast to the liberal era of his father.
In 1506, the 12th year of King Yeonsan-gun, a group of officials - notably Park Won-jong,[12] Seong Hui-ahn, Yoo Soon-jeong and Hong Gyeong-ju[13] - plotted against the despotic ruler. They launched their coup on 2 September 1506, deposing the king and replacing him with his half-brother, Grand Prince Jinseong. The king was demoted to prince, and sent into exile to the Gyodong island, where he died the same year after only a few weeks.[14] Consort Jang Nok-su was regarded as the 'femme fatale' that encouraged Yeonsangun's misrule and was beheaded. Yeonsangun's young sons were killed as well.

His eulogistic posthumous name[edit]
- King Heoncheon Hongdo Gyungmun Wimu the Great of Korea
- 헌천홍도경문위무대왕
- 憲天弘道經文緯武大王
In media[edit]
- In the television series Jang Nok-su, which portrays both him and his favorite concubine, the titular Jang Nok-su. Jang Nok-su is widely known as one of the most notorious femmes fatales in Korean history. She was beheaded after Yeonsangun was deposed.
- In the series Woman of the World (where the main characters are his half-brother's 3rd wife and her 2nd sister-in-law), the coup against Prince Yeonsan is one of the first scenes shown in the first episode. He is portrayed as slightly erratic and insane, trembling and sometimes falling down the ground
- In the television series Dae Jang Geum, he was portrayed as the worst king that Korea had ever had. The first episode was shown with government officials in the reign of King Seongjong poisoning the Deposed Queen Lady Yun, while he was the first born but not yet the Crown Prince. After discovering the incident during his reign, he ordered an investigation leading to the Second Literati Purge. He was deposed when a civil rebellion occurred. His half-brother, Grand Prince Jinseong, the future King Jungjong, succeeded him, through the coup.
- He was the subject of the hit 2005 film King and the Clown,[22] which gives a different depiction of Yeonsangun (as a king emotionally and perhaps sexually fascinated by an effeminate male court jester) and the story of deposed Queen Yun (who was portrayed differently as being set up by the Dowager Queen Insu and her husband's two jealous concubines).
- He was portrayed in the last episodes of 2008 television series The King and I.
- He was portrayed in the last 5 episodes of 2011 television series Queen Insoo.
- He was portrayed in the 2015 film The Treacherous.

i love the idea of this...so very clever!! i love it!
i have the inside scoop... and you're absolutely correct!
That is pretty amazing!!
Who wouldn't? Haha.</SUB
This is absolutely fantastic!

I wanna know what inspired this....it's so interesting o_0 I love it!
I'm a sponge for pop culture I love classical paintings for one, and equality. She was speaking in Portland, Maine (I'm in Maine) a few weeks ago and I was unable to attend.
This is so fucking cool. Seriously, it's rendered me speechless. I'd love to say something more eloquant, but all I can come up with is, "So fucking cool."
I can see you put a lot of thought into this piece. It speaks volumes, bravo, and well done!
I LOVE the Classical Reference.
Oh my goodness this is an amazing crossover!!! I love the inclusion of Beyonce in the background and random muppet haha! Awesome job!
Simply outstanding. A most excellent triumph of Venus. A bit of a shock to see Lady Gaga in New York and not flipping anybody off. Always a delight to see Janice, the Hippie with serial number one, hanging around in the scene ewenooooo. i must say i would far more apt to wrap either Palin or McCain in the crime scene tape however. Could Lady gaga be singing you can leave your hat on, for i see Lady Liberty has not taken of her crown before crushing in close for the cuddle.
I can see that you had a limited choice of outfits. If you had used those hanging chains,it would have made one hell of a racket with Lady Gaga banging and clanging against Lady Liberty's copper cladding robe once the girls started doing the bump nasty, not to mention all the dents it would put in Liberty's dress and those French artisans are almost impossible get to come over and pound all the dents back out. Then any of those honkin' big hat outfits probably would have gotten speared on Liberty's crown and the lasses would be there stuck together at the head in a compromising position like those bull elk in the rut who get locked horns. Of course if you put her in that red white and blue bikini job, you would not have been able to keep McCain off her and Liberty would end up with sloppy seconds after John tipped over from a heart attack after taking a ticket to ride the Gaga baby gravy train express. Then of course had you put her in that leopard skin, that would have been like cats and bears when she was spotted by the Mama grizzly. So now i see, the crime scene tape was about all that was logically left.
great concept and cool painting! I think I would make the same choice if I came to life.
brilliant colors my friend

And both are equally exclusive.
A small metaphor of the lamps DRESSLIGHT Barcelona, Fashion & Light Fusion. A new concept of lamps in which light fuses with fashion, art fabrics with design tradition, to result in a product unique reflection of the personality owner. It is a different and unique way to see the light. Like the kaleidoscope, made with the same materials that lamps are made (covered on the outside for 50 unique designs of fabrics and stuffed with minimal parts of materials are also used in making them: chopped glass, sequins, skin or tulle, beads, etc.). Designed exclusively hand-made (craftwork or arts&craft) in an edition limited to 50 copies. A gift that will allow a select high-level target selected from our database of professional and act as opinion leaders among which are architects, decorators and interior designers, who will ever seen the light differently, as with DRESSLIGHT lamps.

Why EVERY mod just modify the turret?
Prepare yourselves for a total conversion of Generals on brand new SAGE 2.0 engine. We'll bring you back to battlefield with stunning visuals and physics, we'll keep old stuff to for your enjoyment!
Why EVERY mod just modify the turret?
the new RA3 powered environments are all good!! and now I think you should increase the polygon counts on individual units!! and since RA3 models' textures are toonish, so I don't think the lower res textures from Generals would get in the way.
Spin them up!

The bill, which would tighten rules on strike ballots in Britain, passed its first major parliamentary hurdle on Monday when MPs passed it by 33 votes at the second reading stage.
Unite leader Len McCluskey told the conference in Brighton that his union will oppose the bill using "any means necessary" to defend the democratic rights and freedoms of workers.
He said: "This Prime Minister seeks to paint the millions of trade unionists and their families as 'the enemy within', with a Tory party drunk on class prejudice, intent on destroying this movement as a force in British life."
If made law, the bill would introduce a new 50% threshold on participation in strike ballots, as well as changes requiring picketers to give their names to police.
TUC: Volunteer days could be used at union activities
A union has welcomed Conservative plans to give emplyess three days paid leave to take part in voluntary wor.
The TUC said that members would be able to use the time to get more involved in their union.
The TUC has long called for a Community Day Bank Holiday to encourage volunteering and community engagement. We therefore welcome any move that makes employers recognise the benefits of volunteering and social action.
Trade unions are the UK's biggest voluntary groups. This new right will give every union member a guaranteed three days for time off to get involved with union activities.
Union: 'We have the highest rail fares in Europe'
At a TUC demonstration outside King's Cross, Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA transport union, said:
Wage rises are just not keeping up with fare rises. We have the highest fares in Europe.
People are forking out a large slice of their disposable income on fares.
Also, we are not encouraging the turn-up-and-go-railway because if you pay on the day the ticket price is very high.
Union: Tribunal fees 'are victory for UK's worst bosses'
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said:
Employment tribunal fees have been a huge victory for Britain's worst bosses.
By charging up-front fees for harassment and abuse claims the Government has made it easier for bad employers to get away with the most appalling behaviour.
Tribunal fees are part of a wider campaign to get rid of workers' basic rights. The consequence has been to price low-paid and vulnerable people out of justice.
Employment tribunal fees see claims drop 80%
Introducing fees for employment tribunals has been a "huge victory" for the country's worst bosses and has led to a collapse in the number of claims, according to a new report.
The TUC said women and low-paid workers had been worst affected since the Government brought in fees of up to £1,200 last year.
The total number of claims had fallen by 79%, but there had been an 80% cut in sex discrimination claims, while cases of unpaid wages and holiday pay were down by 85%, a study found.

Unions 'overwhelmed' by support as thousands strike
Union leaders said they were "overwhelmed" by support after a strike by public sector workers caused widespread disruption.Read the full story ›
Unions say strike action will continue until election
Union leaders have warned the Government that industrial action will continue into next year.
At a huge rally in Trafalgar Square, unions made it clear the action would stretch to the run-up to the general election.
Matt Wrack, leader of the Fire Brigades Union, said more strikes should be held "soon."
"What we see today is an inkling of the power that rests in the hands of working people," he said.
"We have a government destroying our public services and wrecking the lives of public servants. This is our 15th strike, and we are not giving up. There is no mood to surrender, but there is a mood to continue the fight."
National Union of Teachers general secretary Christine Blower said: "I've been getting messages from people saying that they are more determined now than they were in the past to take action."
The Department for Education said there is "no justification" for further strikes.
Tory plans to change strike ballot laws 'utter hypocrisy'
Unions have hit out at Conservative plans to change strike balloting laws as "utter hypocrisy".
The Conservatives are drawing up plans to change employment law so that a threshold of those balloted would have to be reached before industrial action could be held.
But Unite said no Tory Cabinet member achieved a 50 percent voting threshold in the last general election.
General secretary Len McCluskey said: "It is utter hypocrisy for the Government to talk about mandates for trade unions when not a single member of the present Cabinet would have been elected using the same criteria.
"The fact is not a single councillor in England has won 50 percent of the electorate, not a single MEP has reached the 50 percent threshold, Boris Johnson scraped in with just 37 percent in 2008 and the Government's flagship police and crime commissioner election gained a risible 17 percent."
Cable: Tory turnout limit 'undermines workers' rights'
Vince Cable has attacked the Conservatives' plan to introduce a reported 50 percent minimum threshold in ballots for industrial action, accusing David Cameron's party of "undermining basic workers' rights".
The Business Secretary said the Liberal Democrats "disagreed with the Tories' assertion that a small turnout in strike-action ballots undermines the basic legitimacy of the strike."
He said: "If they want to look at minimum turnout this would have major implications for other democratic turnouts and elections. Many MPs have been elected by well under 50 percent of their electorate, let alone Police Commissioners or MEPs.
"Why have a threshold in a ballot but not make our elected politicians or shareholders face the same hurdle?"
Cable added: "The Tories will try and use today's event as way to undermine basic workers' rights."
Cameron believes strike disruption is 'wrong'
David Cameron believes disruption caused by today's public sector strikes is "wrong", his official spokesman said.
Asked whether the Prime Minister felt strikes in the public sector could ever be justified, the spokesman said: "Does the Prime Minister think that people in this country - parents, commuters, users of public services - should have their routines disrupted? Of course he doesn't think it is right."
Asked for the PM's assessment of the impact of today's strikes, the spokesman responded that Cameron would say "any disruption any user of public services experiences is wrong".

In 2013, policymakers began discussing when and how to 'taper' the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy. This column presents evidence on the effect of Fed officials' public statements on emerging-market financial conditions. Statements by Chairman Bernanke had a large effect on asset prices, whereas the market largely ignored statements by Fed Presidents. Emerging markets with stronger fundamentals experienced larger stock-market declines, larger increases in credit default swap spreads, and larger currency depreciations than countries with weaker fundamentals.
Joshua Aizenman, Mahir Binici, Michael M Hutchison, 04 April 2014
Guntram Wolff, 30 October 2011
Stress in the interbank market has increased dramatically since July 2011, and bank stock market valuations have fallen by 22% on average for 60 of the most important banks subject to stress tests. This column argues that bank stock valuation has been affected by the banks' exposure to Greek debt and that Greek banks were particularly affected. Holdings of debt of the other four periphery countries does not, however, appear to be a strong determinant of stock price movements.
Christoph Moser, Andrew K Rose, 12 September 2011
How the costs and benefits of regional trade agreements are distributed is a controversial question among economists. CEPR DP8566 analyses the stock market response to a country's signing of an RTA. The authors find that the biggest 'bounce' occurs in a country's stock market when it signs an RTA with an already-strong trading partner, or when the country is poor.
Heiko Hesse, 16 October 2008
This column examines the impact of stock market valuation changes on consumption and investment in emerging markets. Though the effects are smaller than those in advanced economies, emerging market policymakers ought to pay attention to how equity price swings will transmit business cycles and impact aggregate demand.
John Turner , Graeme Acheson , Charles Hickson, Qing Ye, 10 May 2008
Past performance is no guarantee, but history tells us that the equity risk premium has been persistent. This column shows that British investors enjoyed relatively high returns in the nineteenth century, though today's UK market differs greatly from its formative ancestor.

Velvet Compas 180 Double Bass Strings have excellent arco response and are designed for orchestral tuning. The use of up-to-date textile fibers makes the strings particularly elastic, producing a full, rich, open sound. The pizzicato is strong with long sustain. Velvet Compas 180 Double Bass Strings respond perfectly to the harmonics, which are crystal-clear. They require no change in playing technique by the instrumentalist, while opening up new possibilities in terms of sound, tone, and modulation. Compas 180 are thinner strings, but are very close in diameter to regular metal strings. Indicated for arco playing, they have an Inox winding instead of copper that makes the bow grab better the string. Nowadays we are seeing lots of jazz players who do arco work using the Compas 180's as hybrid strings.

UAB, which had eliminated football, might end up with a class of up to 45 players by the end of the annual signing day. Coach Bill Clark and his staff are rebuilding almost from scratch.
"These last few weeks are the most important in the history of UAB football," Clark said. "That's easy for me sitting here but just by sheer numbers, you're setting the tone."
Indeed, UAB had more than 20 mid-year signees — not all of them...

I just looked up from just over three hours of grinding out a project on the computer, and I'll be damned if it's not snowing like crazy in Bozeman this afternoon.
My mental ruminations follow in staccato outbursts:
Snowing hard. Big flakes. Flakes the size of a quarter. Visibility's down to about a half mile. Working hard to find a positive response – it's building snow pack, it's supposed to snow in April, this should slow river flows down for a day or two. Breathing hard. Palms sweaty. Damn – it was 80 yesterday and the natives were in shorts and halter tops. Think positive, positive, positive…..
Think of fishing in nice places, like in the Slovenia vid the Taunted by Waters guys put up on the 19th…..
Think of having some fun in warm places, like yesterday in Austin with the Drake Fly Fishing Film Tour and the Fly Fish Chick's entourage; her video is pure Austin…..
