Democratic delegates arriving today at the Renaissance Suites hotel in Charlotte for the party's national convention are getting not one, not two, but three goodie bags when they pick up their credentials.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, the only member of the delegation with a speaking role during the convention that starts Tuesday, produced T-shirts with the logo created by the Demmocratic State Committee on the front and his name and a promotional message about Newark on the back.
There's also a whole tote bag of Booker swag, including a baseball hat with his heavily used Twitter handle, @CoryBooker, across the forehead and his eponomous website on the bill. Other items include flat bread, vanilla creme cookies and a package of coffee grounds all made in Newark.
The state committee produced its own swag bag, with Rep. Rush Holt, D-Hopewell Township, paying for the bag itself and a variety of items from lobbyists and their clients.
Inside is the convention program, including a facebook of delegats, a schedule of events with their sponsors, and more than 50 pages of ads bought by a mixture of politician/delegates, unions, and Trenton lobbying groups.
@CoryBooker's full-age ad again includes the Twitter handle and website address but, um, misspells the president's first name "Barak."
Also in the bag is an umbrella with the logo of JFK Hosptial in Edison, two packages of band-aids from different sponsors, a T-Mobile beer coozy, a commemorative pin sponsored by Sen. Bob Menendez [pin trading is a pastime for some at conventions], and a rubber stress ball in the shape of a horse sponsored by the Meadowlands Racetrack.
The last bag is from the Democratic National Committee, whose chairman, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz, will address the delegates tonight. It's the only bag that the media also gets, and it includes a collapsible water bottle and pedometer and magazines about the city of Charlotte.
Delegates are also getting one thing that wasn't in the reporter swag bag, a commemorative hardcover book of photos from President Obama's inauguration in January 2009.
The only items I kept were the map printed in one of the magazines, and the tote bag. If past is prologue, I will bring the tote bag home, where it will sit in a closet for a few months or a year before my wife tells me to throw it out.

The soil was rich, the water plentiful, the winters mild, and summers ideal, crops seemed to burst from the ground. For more than 150 years small family farms have dominated the Willamette Valley – one of the most productive and diverse agricultural areas in the world. The Zielinski Family and E.Z. Orchards are part of this history and ongoing commitment to the land.

No, it was definitely Crib Goch. We climbed a nice long grade II called The Ramp which ran up along below and then on to the ridge with te Parson's Nose on the front (name escapes me) then followed that to Crib Goch, turned left and descended (plus Ive done it a couple of other tiems adn it was definitely the same ridge:) ). The narrowest part of the ridge is just behind me when I took the photo I thinm but I could be wrong.

Charges filed against Yousuf
Yusuf was produced at the chamber of International Crimes
Tribunal-1 Chairman Justice ATM Fazle Kabir in Sunday afternoon, who ordered his
detention pending trial.Tribunal prosecutor Syed Haider Ali said Yusuf's
lawyers had filed a bail petition and the judge had set Monday for hearing the
plea.Around noon, the tribunal took into cognisance the charges against
Yusuf and ordered he be produced to court by May 26.Immediately
afterwards, Rapid Action Battelion (RAB) nabbed the Jamaat leader from his
residence 'Golap Villa' in Dhanmondi 10/A of the capital.Yusuf was taken
to the tribunal after 4pm. After keeping him inside the tribunal prison for some
time, the judge sent him to Dhaka Central Jail at around 4:45pm.Yusuf's
lawyer Saifur Rahman complained that law enforcers had arrested his client
before arrest orders reached them. "This is unfair."The prosecution had
submitted the charges at the ICT registrar's office on May 5.On Apr 22,
a probe panel of the prosecution filed the report accusing Yusuf of involvement
in crimes against humanity during the war on 15 counts including mass murder,
rape, arson and loot.Probe coordinator Hannan Khan had said they found
evidence that the Razakars under Yusuf's command were involved in killing almost
700 people.There were also evidence against Yusuf of looting and setting
fire to 300 houses, 400 shops and of forcibly converting 200 Hindus, he
added.Yusuf was a member of the so-called Malek Cabinet, a dummy
government formed by Pakistan during the Liberation War. He was also Jamaat's
acting chief for some time.In charge of public works, power, revenue and
irrigation in the infamous Malek cabinet, Yusuf joined Jamaat-e-Islami in 1952
and became the Khulna's regional head within five years.Yusuf was
nominated as the joint secretary of Jamaat's East Pakistan unit and became the
party's deputy chief in 1971.Investigation Officer Helal Uddin said that
Yusuf was the one who coined the term 'Razakar' for the support forces raised to
collaborate with Pakistan during that time.Investigation regarding the
matter began on Jan 22 last year.That revealed that Yousuf, Jamaat's
head of Khulna region and a former MP, had trained 96 Jamaat activists as
Razakars in Khulna's paramilitary camps.The vigilante militia group
Razakar — which has become synonymous with 'collaborator' in Bengali — supported
the war effort of the Pakistani military junta during the 1971 Liberation War
and committed widespread crimes against humanity.It was Yusuf, Jamaat's
head of Khulna region, and the party's provincial joint secretary, who trained
96 Jamaat men as Razakars in Khulna's paramilitary camp. He also led all the
anti-liberation war forces including the infamous Peace Committee, Razakars, Al
Badr and Al Shams in the region.

People attending the 20th Annual Economic Forecast meeting in Craven County Thursday heard from guest speaker Richard Kaglic from the Charlotte office of Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
Kaglic says there's not much difference between state trends and national trends. He says a disappointing area in our country's economic recovery is in the employment growth. There have been 2.5 million net new jobs created since the recession began, but nearly 8.8 million jobs were lost.
As far as the job market on a national scale goes, Kaglic says it's heading in the right direction but it's going to take a long time to get back to where it was.

45 miles yesterday afternoon. 15 miles this morning. No chain tatoo!
cause you wore leg warmers?
Rode sidesaddle?
We are an empire. Use it wisely.
I get that every now and then but really don't know how. Would think my naked leg would remember contacting a bike chain? No sign of one from my just completed ride on the Schuylkill River Trail, but then trail bike chain is so coated with limestone dust, don't believe there is any lube there to tatoo.

You. Girl in the fucking "Meh" shirt. After I punch you in your fucking face, I want to punch the person that took your picture in his fucking face. I then want to continue right down the line of anyone and everyone that was involved in this photograph and the manufacturing of your t-shirt and punch them all directly in their fucking faces.
Why, though? Right? What's the big deal? It's just some stupid advertisement for a shitty internet t-shirt company that prints dumb graphics on low-quality cotton to sell at an incredible markup to doltish fucking zeros that will then take pictures of themselves in these t-shirts featuring the stolen creativity of others to post on Facebook and hopefully get a "Like" from some chubby girl in non-prescription glasses that you want to fuck but lack the ability to do anything about it other than passively engage her via social fucking media.
I want to fucking punch you in your face for asking why.
I want to hack this company's order records and visit the home of everyone that has ordered their shitty t-shirts and punch him and her in his and her fucking face. Then I want to hack their Facebook accounts, log the information of everyone that "Likes" the self-portrait they posted with their horrible t-shirt, visit their homes, punch them all in their fucking faces, then photograph their swollen heads and upload the images to be set as their new profile pictures.
We've really gotta tap into this "over it" generation. These kids these days, they try so hard to show how hard they don't try. How do we capture that feeling, that ethic, that utter, self-contradicting assholery? What's the next frontier in pretending to not give a fuck? I've got it! Posture! Fuck posture! An erect spine is a sign of trying. That's fucking stupid. It symbolizes a bygone era of people that prioritized spinal health over feigning carefreeness via forced irony. Let us usher in the Post-Posture era via t-shirt. Go get the model.
Okay, non-threatening white girl, put these tighty-whities on because they're the perfect blend of ironic and "I don't give a fuck." Now put on Macho Man Randy Savage's sunglasses, because 80's retro-irony still has thirty seconds of shelf life. Alright, you're gonna rock the "Meh" shirt because it best encapsulates how hard you're trying to never, under any conceivable circumstance, try. But we're gonna drive that message home with a new pose. We're calling it the "Post-Posture Semi-Tard." All you have to do is twist your knees together like you're incontinent, collapse your shoulders and spine in a manner that evidences no control over your own skeletal system, and rear your head back and imitate a drooling, special-needs invalid.
Perfect! We've got it. Load that shit out across our ad space and let's sell some fabric to idiots!
I want "Meh" girl to suffer spinal damage in an automobile accident that requires her to wear a back brace to achieve correct posture for the rest of her life. I want to be at the hospital when she comes out of surgery. When she wakes up, I want to fucking punch her in her face again.

Awesome, but back-light bleed
This review is from: SAMSUNG Series 7 NP700Z7C-S01US Gaming Laptop 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 3615QM (2.30 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Beautiful chassis, amazingly sharp and VERY BRIGHT screen, full HD, backlight keyboard...really good speakers.
Cons: Annoying back-light bleed...runs hot, not the best battery life. Slow stock hdd...ssd cache is unimpressive.
Other Thoughts: This laptop is very nice and sleek, not to mention quite heavy. Very nice and crisp and bright screen. I am not a fan of matte screens, but despite this, it looks great. Full control over the Nvidia graphics card and Intel card. The touchpad (click-pad) style I am not a fan of, takes getting used to. The slot loading dvd drive is loud and can only be ejected via FN+ Delete key when the system is on.

Sweet Notebook
This review is from: SAMSUNG Series 7 NP700Z7C-S01US Gaming Laptop 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 3615QM (2.30 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: This is a laptop I would consider, "For adults only." I've seen many laptops with similar specs and all the bells an whistles. I love the fact that this laptop can do it all and look sexy as hell. Even the power button is sexy. This is a good looking laptop with the power to match its looks.
Cons: I wish the keyboard was larger and the numerical keyboard was spaced from the qwerty keyboard (about .5in). The additional software added by samsung is not needed. They could have kept it.
Other Thoughts: I run my laptop with with 2 27in monitors, dual band wireless adapter, 3tb ext hd, and other classified stuff.

NP700Z7C Review
This review is from: SAMSUNG Series 7 NP700Z7C-S01US Gaming Laptop 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 3615QM (2.30 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: This laptop is blazing fast, I just had just built a desktop a few months ago and this thing feels just as fast doing day to day tasks (gaming performance would be another matter although I've play Skyrim on high quality and it performed admirably). The 1080p screen is amazingly clear and sharp, it looks fantastic. The backlit keyboard is a pleasure to type on and the sound quality is pretty darned good for a laptop. The trackpad works as advertised and the multi-finger gestures work well enough if not completely smooth. There are plenty of connectivity options (USB, HDMI, SD Card, ethernet, etc) and overall I appreciate the subtle yet handsome look of aluminum construction (plastic on bottom.) Boot time is quick.
Cons: Only a 5400 rpm hard drive, I already have a SDD on order from Newegg to replace this slug. Also while the main body of the laptop feel sturdy, the screen feels pretty flimsy. You can also only replace one of the two memory sticks, meaning you can only upgrade the memory up to 12 gb, which is enough, but still...
Other Thoughts: This laptop is a SDD away from being perfect, although at this price point you're still getting a hell of a lot of computer for the money. The 700Z7C is a powerhouse and while not small and ultraportable, that's not what I was looking for. I'm going overseas soon and I wanted something to take with me for watching movies and doing some gaming on my free time, this laptop will fit the bill perfectly. I haven't tested the battery endurance yet, but from other reviews online I expect it to be about average to above average.

A TC Family Deals with Asian Economic Crisis
Published in Inside - Volume III, No. 6
The recent downturn in the Asian economy has presented a new challenge for TC doctoral students Mutiara Mohamed and her husband, Azly Abdul Rahman. They are both lecturers at Utara University in Kedah, Malaysia. They are here for three years on a full university scholarship.
While the family won't be forced to leave the United States, the exchange value of their funding has decreased. Azly is working part-time to supplement the scholarship while they await a royalty check for elementary and secondary school ESL textbooks they have written. "The university is only allowing doctoral students who are attending Ivy League schools to study abroad, and we fit that category," Mutiara said. "As long as we maintain our grades, we can stay here and study."
When they received funding to come to the United States to pursue their doctoral studies, they had to choose a graduate school that would meet their educational needs as well as the needs of their five children.
"One of my colleagues told us we were mad to bring five kids to New York City because it was such a dangerous place," Azly said. After researching their options and changing their minds repeatedly about which to choose, they decided that the cultural opportunities in New York City were beyond compare.
The family is living in New Jersey because College housing wasn't spacious enough for seven people. "As parents, we alternate class schedules until we can establish contacts for baby-sitting," Mutiara said. "This is the best opportunity for us to be with them, because time is limited when we are working," Azly added. "The whole family is part of the learning experience. I don't regret it at all."
At Utara University, Mutiara is a Deputy Dean teaching English, and Azly is Director of the Center of Innovations in Education teaching creativity, problem-solving and ethics.
At TC, Mutiara is pursuing an Ed.D. in International Educational Development and Azly is working on an Ed.D. in Philosophy in Education in International Comparative Education. "When we return," Mutiara said, "we will continue our lecturing positions and apply to become professors."previous page

The Bay County Sheriff's Office is expected to release more information Monday about an incident on Laguna Beach that ended with a teenager on life support.
A spokesperson tells us the 15-year-old, who has a history of heart trouble, showed signs of medical distress when he came out of the water behind the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat around 2:00 p.m.
The teenager was taken to Bay Medical Center, where as of the time this story was posted, he's on life support until his organs can be harvested for donation.
The boy's name and hometown have not been released. But we understand he did not live here and his parents are on their way.

The Missouri State Teachers Association Friday filed suit in Cole County Circuit Court claiming a new Missouri law will violate free speech rights of teachers.
The lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction blocking enforcement of the relevant part of the law relating to teachers communicating with students using electronic social networking sites.
Kent L. Brown, a Jefferson City attorney representing the statewide teacher organization, said it is not the intention of the lawsuit to block enforcement of the entire law designed to crack down on sexual predators of children but only the part relating to teacher communications with students and former students.

How to Not Call Your Ex
After a break-up, it's hard to avoid not to call your ex. The bad thing about it is that it doesn't only make you look like you haven't moved-on yet, it also makes you hope that there's a chance of getting back with your ex. So how do we avoid the urge of calling (or texting) your ex?
1Know why you're calling. If it's because so you can tell him/her that you still have feelings for him/her, then don't. You'll only sound desperate. You have to give him/her time and space.
2Accept the fact that it's over. Being sad about it is okay, but whether you like it or not, you two are over for reasons.
3Cut all your connections with him/her. And by connections, I mean everything, his/her cellphone/phone number, his/her e-mail address and some other connections you might have with him/her. Delete his/her text messages too.
4Forget everything that happened between you and him/her. This includes not talking about him/her or the break-up 24/7.Thinking about him/her or the break up will only make you want to call you ex.
5Find Someone. And don't be too eager about it, love doesn't come in an instant. Also, don't just find someone just to make your ex jealous, that will be immature. Find someone who can make you happy, not someone who would only remind you of your ex. This step is optional though.
6Keep yourself busy. With your studies/work and more important things in life.
7Be Happy with your relatives and friends. Because they are the one's who sees the BEST in you. Plus it's worth a moment spending time with them.
8Love yourself. But don't overdo it! Just gain the right amount of confidence, enough for you to love yourself and move on.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Try doing some of the following activities to forget about your ex and move on in life:
- Study things that you like.
- Spend time with your friends and family.
- Go shopping.
- Find new hobbies.
- When you're being tempted to call/text your message, just think that you're just going to make yourself look desperate to him/her.

TimberSil Deckingcomments (20) August 27th, 2009 in Blogs
You may have heard of TimberSil treated southern yellow pine. It pops up in reviews and press releases here and there. Rather than using treatment soups that kill wood eating insects or fungi, TimberSill uses a mineral, sodium silicate, to essentially encapsulate the cells of the wood in a glass. Wood munching organisms don't recognize the treated wood as food and leave it alone. The treatment takes place in a conventional pressure-treatment vessel followed by heating in a kiln.
I wanted to try TimberSil out for several years but their distribution was limited (and still is). About a year and a half ago I placed a special order for a factory direct shipment for a large deck project. When the wood arrived, it was ugly and I was worried. Most of the decking was coated with large shiny amber splotches about 1/32 in. thick and the 2x and 4x stock covered with white power. I took a gamble and pressed forward with the project. After several weeks of rain and sun that the deposits washed away leaving the natural blond of the yellow pine.
Working with TimberSil Despite rumors that TimberSil dulls carbide teeth, I cut my way through over 1200 board feet of stock with a single 7 1/4 blade. And there was no dulling of the ordinary ½ inch spade bit I used to bore 60 holes through 4x4 guardrail posts either. The material was what you'd expect from a premium quality SYP; few knots, pretty straight grained and no wane.
I face screwed 900 square feet of 5/6 x 6 TimberSil with HDG bugle headed screws using an autofeed screw driver and didn't have any splitting. I did predrill for all the butt end screws as with any decking. The screws did hesitate penetrating the surface of the boards but once the threads bit they drove right in.
What I wasn't anticipating was the gray mold spots that developed within 2 months. It became unsightly by the third month but amazingly disappeared on its own after 6 months despite one of the wettest springs I can recall. I can only attribute it to seasonal pollen and dust that collected and not the TimberSil itself.
TimberSil has some pretty good properties beyond being benign:
It's Class A fire rated (good for woodland interface areas)
Hardness and strength are increased by about 50%. You can span 24 in. joists with 5/4 x 6 decking without any spring.
Not corrosive to fasteners.
Dimensionally stable. It doesn't absorb much moisture so it doesn't shrink and swell like some wood decking species.
Rated for Ground Contact
Takes stain and paint without bleed-thru.
TimberSil has some downsides though:
Though available from ME to CA distribution is spotty.
Only one producing plant (hopefully that will change)
Cost – It runs higher than run-of-the-mill PT. It'll likely come down as more treaters adopt the process.
It's heavy. Even though it's kiln dried after treatment, it's as heavy as wet PT lumber or composite decking.

Two weeks ago, we finally had rain and a hail storm. Despite each slat being sanded and primed, per Timbersil, the paint bubbled, and is now chipping and peeling in strips, with sap seeping from one of the main joists.
Prior to the installation, I had researched TimberSil for two years with a few visits to their office in Placentia, CA. Today I found out the Placentia location has closed and as I sat in front of their former office site, I googled to try to find their new location and discovered several websites stating TimberSil's failures.
My contractor said it was a horrible product, and did not want to use it. He said he had to go through several pieces of twisted wood and would choose one good piece for every six. He begged that I change my mind, but unfortunately, I was sold on their product.
AS we peel the paint off, there is a powdery substance which we are still researching as the 'salty residue' others see emerge after being exposed to excess moisture. What a disappointment.

The boards do swell during the winter when they are wet for long periods of time. When dry they are about 1/8 apart, but when they get wet they touch. Some of the grain is starting to lift on the flat deck boards. There are a few cracks in some of the 4x4 posts. Overall it is still very sturdy and looks pretty good. We need to restain it this summer before next winter. We want to do it ourselves rather than hiring a contractor.
I have a question, how do we go about staining it? I assume we sand any high spots of grain, wash it all down and let it dry for a few days before staining. We are going to use the same brand of stain so it will be compatible with areas that still have stain. We don't have to remove all of the stain first do we? Do we just wash it with a hose or powerwash it? How long should we let it dry before we restain it? It will get dusty during the drying time, do we just sweep it and then stain once it is dry? Are we doing it right? Any insight will be most appreciated. Thank you.

Terrible product if you live where there's rain or snow. The company basically told me to take a hike and sent me a gallon of JoMax and a letter stating that "everything needs maintenance".
No one seems to be able to help so I am going to have to pull up the deck and start again. STAY AWAY!!!!

I would be interested to see photos of the "hair" like growth you described. I have not seen, nor have I heard of such a thing happening. What color is the growth?
Can you please send digital photos to email@example.com
Posted: 2:39 pm on May 27th
What I mean is basically everywhere on the deck and rails is what looks like a mat of what I can olny assume is glass fibers. They resemble asbestos insulation fibers and are loosely attached to the deck.
Has anyone experienced this? Any methods to deal with it and remove it? Reasons why it happened? Why it happened? How to prevent it?

Thanks for this very useful post. I've been considering using Timbersil for a deck project coming up. Great to hear from someone who has actually used the product. It'll be nice to use a real wood product with good evironmental properties.

What you see covering the joists is EPDM. Couple years ago I priced out a number of the 10 underdeck drainage systems out there and considered their installation details. I worked out a system to use EPDM that's fast, easy and less than half the cost of commercial systems. FHB's Chuck Bickford already photographed and video taped the process and I wrote up an outline for an article. Still awaiting Brian Pontolilo's go-ahead. I'm guessing the soonest it will appear in the magazine is a year.

Second woman faces embezzlement charge
November 03, 2011
ELKHORN — In 2008, police caught wind of an employee who stole more than $800,000 from Home Design Manufacturing in Walworth.
That employee, Kari Sue Clark-Branton, 42, wrote checks from the business to herself and to Blue Hills Lippitt Morgans, which is owned by her friend, Joanne M. Anderson.
Clark-Branton, who is now serving a 2-1/2 year prison sentence, told police she was trying to help Anderson realize her dream of raising and showing show horses. Court records indicate more than $400,000 was issued to Blue Hill Lippitt Morgans from 2001 to 2008.
In April 2009, Clark Branton pleaded guilty to 32 felony counts — two counts of theft and 30 counts of forgery. In addition to prison time, Clark-Branton was sentenced to 10 years of probation and ordered to pay more than $964,000 in restitution.
On Oct. 28, the Walworth County District Attorney's Office filed a felony charge of receiving stolen property against Anderson, 48, 12140 W. State Road 48, of Exeland.
If convicted, she faces up to 10 years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
On March 24, 2008 the owners of Home Design Manufacturing Company contacted police after an accountant reviewed its finances and discovered more than $8000,00 in funds had been embezzled.
Clark-Branton, who worked for the company, admitted she had been stealing from the business for about five years and estimated she stole between $150,000 and $200,000.
A certified public account reported that between 2001 and 2008 checks totalling $498,502 were written to Clark-Branton, and during that time period, $413,507 in checks were written to Blue Hills Lippitt Morgans.
Anderson worked for Home Design Manufacturing in 1992, but left after making unauthorized charges to a credit card. After Anderson left, she recommended Clark-Branton to fill her position.
When police interviewed Clark-Branton, she said she would forge the business owner's signature on checks and issued between 500 and 1,000 checks without the owner's consent.
Clark-Branton said she attempted to cover her tracks by changing the "payee" in Quick Books to a vendor that works with the business. She said she forgot to do this with one check, which is why she suspected she was caught.
Clark-Branton also said she overpaid herself in payroll and bonus checks.
While Clark-Branton worked for Home Design Manufacturing, Anderson would e-mail Clark-Branton bills to the horse farm and Clark-Branton would determine which checks she could issue without getting caught.
Clark-Branton told police she never told Anderson the checks were being issued without permission, but she also never told Anderson the business owners authorized the transactions.
The business owners received a letter from Clark-Branton dated Feb. 27, 2008, which stated Anderson was in the process of contacting family members to obtain funds to repay the debt.
Clark-Branton wrote Anderson is doing "everything in her power" to sell horses so "we can get this money issue settled with you more quickly."

Future demand on ADAP resources is expected to escalate as the standard of care improves for people with HIV/AIDS and as patients continue to respond to new drug therapies.
States also allocate general revenue or other State funds to support their ADAPs. In FY 2003, 37 States projected the appropriation of State funds to ADAPs. In addition, ADAPs use various cost-containment strategies that maximize funds, allowing ADAPs to serve more people living with HIV/AIDS.
Title II Support: In response to the rapid increase in program costs and greater demand for access to antiretroviral medications, some States and Territories have chosen to add some of their Title II base funds to their ADAP. In FY 2003, it is predicted that 16 States will contribute an average of 16% of their Title II base awards to their ADAP.
Title I EMA Support: Another source of funding for some ADAPs comes from voluntary allocations from Title I awards. Title I of the CARE Act funds eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs). These are geographic areas (usually cities) with a high population of HIV-infected individuals. By FY 1999, it appeared that some EMAs began to decrease their contributions to their State ADAP due to the increase in ADAP earmark dollars. If increasing drug costs and client enrollment begin to outpace ADAP earmark funding, it is uncertain if Title I programs will be able to continue this trend of decreasing contributions to State ADAPs. In FY 1998, Title I programs in 13 States contributed $28.8 million to ADAPs. By FY 2003, twelve States project that Title I will contribute just over $23 million to their ADAP.
ADAP Supplemental Grants: Beginning in FY 2001, 3 percent of the ADAP earmark is to be used for supplemental grants to "severe need" States and Territories to increase access to therapeutics. In FY 2003, 17 States and Territories received $21.4 million in supplemental funding.
In FY 1998, 24 States received $37.4 million as a result of these cost-savings mechanisms, funds that were then used to purchase additional pharmaceuticals. By FY 2003, 24 States project a total savings of nearly $112.2 million through use of cost-saving strategies and carry-over dollars.

Today, Shannon of BMEzine posted on Modblog the story behind the facial tattoo of Lesya, a beautiful young woman from Russia who radically altered her appearance by having her new lover tattoo his name across her face.
This naturally went viral -- just like the story of the girl with 56 stars tattooed on her face in 2009. Both of these women have something in common. Both were tattooed by the same man: Rouslan Toumaniantz.
Tattooing, in many forms, can elicit a reaction from a viewer, positive or negative, in different ways. Facial tattoos often attract the strongest of reactions. The reactions to Lesya's tattoo are the strongest of the strong, and naturally so, particularly in light of the back story, which Shannon offers in his post. Here's a bit from it:
About a month ago, Rouslan Toumaniantz, a well known and sometimes notorious Belgium-based tattoo artist (of Tattoo Box in Kortrijk), and Lesya, a designer living at the time in Saransk, a city in central Russia started talking via chat (Rouslan speaks fluent Russian) and realized they had a lot in common, and quickly began falling head over heels in love. About a week ago they met in person in Moscow and decided to get married -- their plans for their life together include her learning to tattoo (Rouslan tells me she's already a talented artist), apprenticing under her husband-to-be, while she also gets the full-body ink that she's always dreamed of (biomech is the current plan) -- and of course a family.Read more of the post and see additional photos here.
As you can see from the nude photo of Lesya and Rouslan on Modblog, the facial tattoo is the only major body modification she has. This has also fueled the controversy surrounding it.
So you have two camps: the cheers and the jeers.
Shannon notes interesting downfalls, including the association with gangs like MS-13, who have prominent facial tattoos that are often stylized in a similar way. However, he places the focus on their "commitment to love" and how "sometimes the best decisions are the ones you make in an instant with your heart rather than the ones long-debated in your mind." Indeed, there have been many times where I've fully agreed with this latter statement. There are many times that I haven't. Which is why this is heartbreaking to me.
I don't want to be in the jeers crowd. Here is a young woman who is in love and this is the way she has chosen to show her commitment. I cannot muster my usual snobbery. But I also cannot suppress feelings of anger towards this new love of hers, Rouslan, who in the most brazen of ways, marked this girl, forever changing her life. I wonder if he will shoulder the full responsibility of this for the longevity of the tattoo. To me, this seems more like marking one's property, rather than caring or nurturing your bride to be.
I often flippantly say the old maxim, "You get the tattoo you deserve." But this is not true all the time. Sometimes, there's got to be someone who educates and guides, who keeps impulses in check, and acts ethically. I believe that tattooists should largely shoulder this responsibility when it comes to clients, especially young ones. And I most firmly believe this when the tattooist has an intimate connection to the one being tattooed.
Lesya's photo has been popping up all over Facebook today. Some postings are of the point-and-laugh variety, others have touted it as "inspiring" and "the ultimate" in body modification.
To me, the ultimate in body modification is a commitment to the best form of expression of the best of who you are. It's a shame that her expression belongs to that of another person.
I commend Shannon for taking a positive approach to this work and seeing the beauty in it. And I stand with him in wishing that they realize their dreams and proving skeptics like myself wrong.

I learned from Colin Dale this afternoon that ManWoman passed away peacefully this morning after a bout with terminal cancer. Manny was an artist and poet but best known for his work reclaiming the "gentle swastika." Manny was such a bright light, and while I'm saddened by the news, I also had to smile thinking of our brief time together and all the experiences he shared and giggles we had over them. He will be deeply missed by so many.
Shannon of BMEzine.com posted his tribute to ManWoman today and included this video below, in which Manny offers his "final thoughts" less than ten days ago. The whole video is beautiful but ends powerfully on these words:
Find the gift that is in you. You're in this world as a gift of god to this world, so get busy doing it!I'm on it, Manny!
For more on his thoughts about art, spirituality and the swastika, I'm posting my Q&A with ManWoman, which took place at the Traditional Tattoo and World Culture Festival in Ireland in 2010, and was published in the October 2010 issue of the UK's Total Tattoo magazine. Find it below the video (after the jump).
RIP ManWoman.
Interview with ManWoman ...
Yesterday, Complex Art + Design blog posted this video of Polish rapper and mixed martial arts fighter Popek getting his eyeballs tattooed. The video, beautifully produced by Will Robson-Scott, is graphic. There are close-ups of the needle going into the eye. But if you can get beyond that, it's fascinating to watch Popek explain why he's doing it ["I will be complete"], how he handles the process [smoking], the result [lots of hugs] and the healing process [pain "like putting cigarettes in your eyes"].
Howie/LunaCobra is the one tattooing Popek as he has done many times before. Howie first experimented with eyeball tattooing in 2007 on BMEzine founder Shannon Larratt, Pauly Unstoppable, and Josh. It was all documented on Modblog starting at this post.
In BME's Wiki page on "eyeball tattooing," it is noted that corneal tattooing is "known and done now for over 2,000 years -- it became almost commonplace in the late 19th century and into the 20th century to correct defects such as corneal scarring and leucomas." The procedures on Shannon, Pauly and Josh were not to correct any defects, but as an experiment in body modification. For Popek, he says he felt compelled to do it but cannot really articulate why (beyond any language barrier).
It's easy to point and jeer, "Look at the freaks!" And it's easy to cheer "Bod Mod FTW!" Neither helps any discourse on the seriousness of this procedure. There's little argument that eyeball tattooing could leave people blind, among other complications, and it's difficult to understand why one would take that risk at all. I'd love to see a full length documentary that explores this in some depth.

Hey! Check out my songs everyone! I wrote, performed, and recorded these tunes myself. They are instrumental for now, because I attempted doing the vocals but failed miserably, so until I find a vocalist, they are instrumental jams. Check it out!
All the tunes are free to download, so enjoy!
A new album is in the works, and a song teaser should be up soon! In the meantime, enjoy the tunes. They can be sound at either:
Also, if you are a vocalist, a bassist, or a drummer, I am still looking to fill those positions, so hit me up!
Pretty cool stuff! The melodies are brilliant.
Would really appreciate it if you could give us a listen and a like here too:
Thanks man!! :D
I went to your fb page, but had issues with the media player...idk if that's just me but others might have the same issue...had to go to your youtube to hear tunes, so you might wanna use that as your link and put tunes up there if others are also having issues streaming tunes ;)
Cheers :cheers:
Cheers for the heads up man. I think it's just been a bit iffy the past few days, but hopefully the fb page should end up ok.
And thanks for checking the stuff out.
Hey UG!
I just posted a brand new song/video. Below is the youtube link. It is of a new song I wrote, featuring myself and our band's new rhythm guitarist jamming live. It was recorded on my mac's camera, hence the blurry video and funny sounding compression, but it's still a good listen! Also, a sound-only version of the song will be up on the soundcloud page (see sig) soon, so you can listen/download that. Big news coming soon, so I'll keep you all posted! Thanks!!
Aight UG, so that youtube video I posted right there ^
It's now on the soundcloud page (below), so you can listen without the sound sucking.
I tried to keep the feel of the live recording...so I just did one drum track dead center and one guitar to each side...one take each...no "pro tooling"...no fixing mistakes...no EQing. It is what it is. Enjoy it!
Also, there's a video up now for one of the older songs, "Unbreakable" which you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH6J...kJzX-PUf6_yFvR9
The original recording is on the soundcloud.
More videos coming over the next few days
You guys play really tight together. The progressions of the compositions is fitting and flows nicely most of the time! Who would you say your influences are?
I think you might enjoy my band as well, we like technical music, mind checking it out?
It's a pretty expansive list of influences haha. The big ones are the early 2000s metalcore bands, like Killswitch, All that Remains, Lamb of God, and Trivium. NOT the newer bands that are calling themselves metalcore, like Asking Alexandria or Attack Attack.....chugga chugga breakdowns annoy me ALOT.
Lately we've been really getting into this whole so-called "djent" movement...Periphery and TesseracT being the two big ones.
I'll check your band out man.
Sounds pretty good man. Definitely "outside the box" which i like. It's different. Do I hear some Fall of Troy influence in there?
Yeah, we're influenced by them, but the new song we just posted is a lot more reminiscent of them at some parts...we don't derive a whole lot of influence from them nowadays, but they definitely were the catalyst to start writing more interesting sounding music.
Yeah, I could tell that you guys are getting into this sorta "djent" movement. A lot of bands moving in that direction tend to overuse the cliches of that style of music, but there are a lot of talented players as well. Your dual guitar vids are more interesting to watch than most bands from that movement, imo.
Hey guys! So lots of big things happened this week, the big one being the launch of our facebook page! (finally) Here is the link!

Not too bad. I can honestly hear the Djent kinda sound in your stuff that you might have done before you were into it. I don't know if you listen to Animals as Leaders, but some of your songs sounded similar to what they do. You've got some excellent technical playing with some interesting rhythms.
If you're into Groove/Thrash Metal, check out my band, Shadow Cell:
We've got some Prog influences, especially in the Bass department.
We're on YouTube Here:
and Facebook here:
I also posted a thread about us here in PYB. ;)
Haha yea, we've started listening to this whole "djent" thing a lot more...I think the Periphery-influence is coming through a lot more lately than with older stuff. Thanks for the Animals as Leaders comment/compliment!! :)
Your stuff sounds pretty good too! Definitely more on the thrashy side of things :headbang:
Hey, we just released an instrumental version of one of the songs on our new album! Check it out here ----> http://darknessinzero.bandcamp.com/
Here is a video of our drummer messing around over a new tune we are about to record for a local sampler. Oh, and this is like, 3 days after he first got a rough demo of the song.
Also, make sure to get our newest single! (very last post, or you can find it on our facebook)
Haven't posted in awhile, but my band currently has instrumental versions of the first THREE songs off our upcoming album on our bandcamp, free to download (just cuz we love you all so much). So yea. You should listen. I can assure you, we sound just like your favorite artist.

Julie May, Leaf Artist
Watch This Story (7:32)
Glass artist and printmaker Julie May of Shelbyville, Kentucky, loves to study nature, art, and other cultures.
Julie majored in art and art education at Asbury College, with an emphasis in stained glass, but it was a trip to Pilchuck Glass School in Washington after graduating that opened the door to blown glass and printmaking.
After her time at Pilchuck, Julie's long love of nature began to make an appearance in her artwork, through a printmaking process called vitreography. Through vitreography, Julie creates beautiful and elegant prints of leaves and stems culled from Kentuckys diverse flora.
This feature orginally aired on the KET program Kentucky Life.
- Program 208
- 25th anniversary of the Humana Building, the historic Henry Clay, vitreography artist Julie May, and a look at Louisville's founder George Rogers Clark. Eileen Blanton of Peace Education Program is our guest. (#208)

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Textile Bed Linens Excluding Cotton Bed Linens in Saudi Arabia
- May 2010
- Region: Saudi Arabia
- 28 pages
- ICON Group International
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens in Saudi Arabia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens to Saudi Arabia? How important is Saudi Arabia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens vary from one country of origin to another in Saudi Arabia? On the supply side, Saudi Arabia also exports textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens. Which countries receive the most exports from Saudi Arabia? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens in Saudi Arabia. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens for those countries serving Saudi Arabia via exports, or supplying from Saudi Arabia via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Saudi Arabia fits into the world market for imported and exported textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Saudi Arabia in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Saudi Arabia is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Saudi Arabia compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Saudi Arabia. A "major" market is defined as a country where Saudi Arabia represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Saudi Arabia, one can thus observe how important Saudi Arabia is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens originating from Saudi Arabia, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Saudi Arabia has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Saudi Arabia. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens to and from Saudi Arabia to and from all other major countries in the world. "Textile Bed Linens Excluding Cotton Bed Linens" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "textile bed linens excluding cotton bed linens" is 65843 . SHOW LESS READ MORE >

I think it is safe to assume that Doom is one of the most ported games of all time. The series has spawned on just about every platform, but that hasn't stopped id Software at all! Prepare for some goosebumps…
Bethesda has announced that they're bringing out the BFG Edition of Doom 3 to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game itself will include a whole heap of extras for Doom 3, like enhanced graphics and sound and new levels. But more importantly, Doom 1 and 2 will be included with the game. ETA of the BFG Edition of Doom 3 is uncertain, except sometime this year.
On the subject of slightly retro re-releases, Good Old Games has Tomb Raider 1-3 in a pack for sale. One of the more infamous titles to jump on the evolution of 3rd person platform games (Mario 64 being one of the most well-known, granted that 1983's Congo Bongo by SEGA was one of the first to introduce a different perspective for a platform game. I'm going off track here…).
Tomb Raider 1-3 is available now at gog.com
I remember playing Spy vs Spy 2 on my Primary School's Commodore 64 back in year 6. Good times! Not to mention that the music for that game will remain in my brain- branded forever! A couple of months ago I noticed that a remake of Spy vs Spy is potentially in the works on Player Attack . If you're a fan of the original series then the image above (from a WB mailing list) should be no stranger. What platform will it be on? Hints again are aiming at the iOS as the developer Robots & Pencils are involved. Bring it on and GO BLACK SPY! ;)
Happy Birthday Final Fantasy! That's right folks I'm referring to the long-running and highly popular jRPG franchise first released back in December 1987 on the Famicom. Even today the spirit continues to thrive through every game in the series without skipping a beat or dropping to mediocrity. Sure the official 25th birth date is a while away, but there's no reason not to absorb yourself in the celebrations! As for me I'll probably break out Final Fantasy 3 (as in Final Fantasy 6 in Japan) some time soon. In the meantime head on over to finalfantasy.jp
In the city of Osaka, Japan there is a new bar open called the Space Station: a licensed video games venue where the primary focus is classic gaming (with the modern ones in a corner too). For more information on the venue as well as photos head to their Facebook page, where you'll find opening times and plenty more photos from opening night. I'm totally going if I go to Japan! ;)
Well that's it from me for this week folks! Mike is back on the Daily posts next week.
Oh, and make sure you all watch this space (or some kind of space on our website) about some exciting announcements soon! :D (No, it won't make your monitor or television explode, unless it's me playing Bomberman on it!)
Have a great weekend fellow gamers! Happy gaming! :D

This is actually kinda worrying for me because I've actually spent a good deal of time with my bicycle upside-down (or on the kickstand) while alternating between swearing profusely in multiple languages and trying to sweet talk it into cooperating with me.http://blogs.tcpalm.com/off_the_beat...r-unclear.html
A soused Stuart man was jailed after deputies say he was engaged in an "obscene argument" with his bicycle, a recently released arrest affidavit states.
BialonRichardStanley.jpgMartin County Sheriff's deputies spied Richard Bialon, 68, around 4 a.m. Tuesday "yelling at his bicycle" in the parking lot of a Mobil gas station in the 3900 block of South Kanner Highway.
"Customers were coming to the Mobil and were very disturbed as to the yelling and obscene argument the defendant was having with his bicycle," the affidavit states.
The affidavit didn't specify what the argument was about or whether Bialon had accused the pedal-powered vehicle of wrongdoing.
Bialon, of the 5500 block of South Kanner Highway, had been imbibing all day and was described as "very intoxicated."
He was arrested on a misdemeanor disorderly intoxication charge and taken to jail.
Florida always seems to get the wierd ones...

I am a 15 (almost 16) year old virgin. My boyfriend and I are thinking about having sex. We love each other, we are both mature and know everything, and we both ARE ready. He isn't a virgin, he had sex once before. While having a discussion on the phone he mentioned to me about this round-a-bout and that he doesn't like using condoms. I am completely 100% for condoms and would never risk myself getting pregnant or getting something (even though I know he doesn't have anything). But he insists that he barely pre-cums and when he does "finish" he knows beforehand. I know guys just say that. I've thought about it and maybe after were used to intercourse I'll think about the pull out method. But ONLY if we use another type of protection.
What do you think about the pull out method? For the other question I have, what is safer to use, in a girl's point of view? Morning after pill? The Ring? Birth control? How can I get my hands on a Morning after pill? Thanks ever so much.

What's in a name?
It's official.
I am now firmly in the "unoriginal" camp when it comes to baby names. My children are Abigail (2006's No.4) and Elizabeth, a name that has rarely dropped out of the Top 25 baby names for girls in the past, oh, I don't know, 500 years? Well, not in the last 100 at least, according to the Social Security Administration's baby names online Web site.
Naming a child is a huge decision, and one that your child is stuck with - for better or for worse - his or her entire life.
Name him too common a name and he's just another Mike. Name her too strange a name, and she's not going to fit in with all the Hannahs and Emmas. You can name her after some states and cities (Dakota or Madison) but others are just old in a Gertrudy way: Carolina, Virginia, Georgia.
We knew when we named Beth that she shared a name with lots of other girls, but at least she was no Ashley or Brittany. As it turns out, Elizabeth was No. 9 in popularity the year she was born. We figured there are any number of nicknames for Elizabeth and not all would be Beth.
We wanted a name that was not so trendy that half the high-school cheerleading squad would have the same name. We did not name either of our children my favorite girl name, Emily, precisely because of its popularity. (No. 3 after Ashley and Jessica the year Beth was born.)
For both of our children, we searched for names that would be respectable for a CEO or senator, but not do disservice to a kid. We didn't want any name that was too cute (Tiiffany or Sunny). We definitely would not name our kid any Hollywood Zappa-like name. No Moon Units, Dweezils or Kal-Els for us. (Here's a list of weird celebrity baby names.)
"Brennan" as a surname doesn't let us get too cute, as actor Rob Morrow did in naming his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. Ugh. My husband once knew a woman named Candy Kane. Not a good name. Nor would it be kind to name a son "Justin" if your last name is Case.
Sometimes ethnic names can work, but go too ethnic, and you put your child in danger of being judged before she's had a chance to prove herself.
My husband and I went through a phase of seriously considering ethnic names, which for us would be Irish. I like the name Siobhan. We also strongly considered Sinead. But, as our children were born in the early 1990s, not long after Sinead O'Connor burst onto the scene with her exquisite voice and shaved head, we decided we really didn't want a baby punk rocker. Besides, we thought, it would be agony for our daughters to have to explain that "Siobhan" is pronounced SHIV-ahn, and "Sinead" is shi-NAID.
In the end, we decided we're not that ethnic. We wanted strong, mainstream, recognizable names. We liked names that could have a nickname, but with an option to use a more formal name if needed. I always resented that my parents named me "Vicki," a nickname, not Victoria, which is a perfectly good grown-up name that I can't use because that would be pretentious in the extreme to give myself a formal name that I don't actually have.
We thought we had the perfect balance when we named our firstborn. The year she was born, Abigail was the 92nd most-popular name for a girl. What we didn't know then was that we were trendsetters. I had inadvertently chosen a name that was increasing in popularity. Ten years earlier, Abigail was No. 152. In 1966, No. 712.
We liked a name that sounded strong, like Abigail Adams, but also informal in a kind, friendly sort of way. You don't automatically think anything negative of a child named Abby. Abigail Rose it was.
Never did we think we would be naming either of our kids one of the most popular girl names in America. And yet here we are, in 2007, the year Abby turns 16, with hordes of Abbys behind her. Maybe people will always think she's younger than she is, the way that anyone named Susan is pretty much assumed to be in her 40s because that was the second or third most-popular name from 1957 to 1964, right up there with Lisa and Mary.
In a way it's kind of nice that Abby's got company with her name now.
The day she was born we called our older Beatles-generation siblings to share the good news. My sister and my husband's brother both had the same incredulous reaction to her name: "You named your baby Abbey Road?"

'Water Footprint of Humanity' Study Shows Average Person Uses 1,056 Gallons of Water Each Day
Posted By Brit Liggett On February 16, 2012 @ 3:41 pm In Environment,environmental destruction,News,Water Issues | 1 Comment
Hold on to your office chairs, research-loving infographic fans – we've got a doozy for you here. Researchers at the University of Twente [1] in the Netherlands have compiled a report on the "water footprint of humanity" (from 1996 to 2005) that comes complete with comprehensive water consumption statistics for every country on Earth – including water consumed by industry. The researchers found that 92% of freshwater use is in the agricultural industry, that the United States (with 3% of the world's population) is the third-largest water consumer, and that 1/5 of water used on Earth is for products exported out of the country where they are made or grown. The report also comes complete with water pollution data, some interesting infographics [2], and it's accompanied by a "product gallery" [3]where you can see how much water goes into the production of say, a a cup of tea [4]. When you add up all the water needed [5] to make food, energy and other products, the average person on the planet Earth uses an incredible 1,056 gallons of water per day — that's enough to fill up 21 standard bath tubs.
Consumption varies greatly from country to country, and some countries rely mostly on water supplies from other nations to prosper. For instance, in countries that import most of their products — like those in North Africa and the Middle East, where commercial agriculture is difficult — the researchers say consumption of "virtual water" is high. "Virtual water" refers to water used to create things in one place (food, clothes or other products) that are then exported to another place to be consumed.
On average, the researchers found that Americans consume about double the average amount of water as persons living in other countries. The growth and consumption of grains is the most intensive, with 27% of water use – meat follows closely with 22%, and dairy products clock in at 7% of total world water use. The study [2] goes on to explore the idea that countries with an abundance of water could take advantage of this resource by focusing on water-intensive products, while countries without large water supplies could counter that by producing products that need little water. In the study, the researchers note that some countries depend heavily on external water sources — Malta is 92% dependent, Kuwait is 90% dependent and Jordan is 86% dependent — but places like the United States do not (we have a 20% dependency on external water sources). The study should provide insight for those interested in stabilizing the world's water resources in coming years as concern over the scarcity of freshwater resources [5] grows.
