Baltimore Remembers the Riots of 1968
The assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King in April of 1968 sparked days of rioting in Baltimore. An economic meltdown followed. Forty years later, some neighborhoods have yet to recover.
To educate people about the scope of the destruction and its long aftermath, the University of Baltimore offers a driving tour through some of the city's worst-hit areas.
One tour guide, professor Lenneal Henderson, says the entire city was affected.
"Individual homes were damaged, schools were damaged, faith institutions were damaged," he says. "It wasn't just the commercial infrastructure that was hit."
Henderson reflects on the riots and the city that emerged.

Federal attorneys are asking for another extension of an order to prevent stripper king Frank Colacurcio Sr. and associates from selling or "destroying" their interests in Seattle-area strip club operations so a grand jury can wind up its investigation into allegations of racketeering and prostitution at the clubs. Colacurcio et al have agreed not to oppose the extension of the order, according to papers filed last week, as they and their attorneys wade through the evidence that led to the government's claims last year.
The U.S. at first opposed the release of - then quietly turned over - transcripts and recordings from wiretaps collected during the undercover operation. If the feds' case against the family's empire is proved, the government plans to seize Colacurcio clubs in Seattle, Shoreline and Everett as well as offices in Lake City. Among the possible outcomes, according to a source familiar with the probe, is a settlement that would require Colacurcio, 91, and associates to sell off the properties and get out of the strip club business. No charges have yet been filed, though the U.S. has revealed the three-year investigation and allegations in court documents. The grand jury is expected to wind up its probe by the end of August.

Long Knives, Romanians get fired up at range
January 15, 2009
By Pfc. Terence Ewings, 4th BCT, 1st Cav. Div.
COB ADDER, Iraq - The sounds of artillery rounds and various exploding projectiles could be heard miles away from the Bardia Firing Range Jan. 3.
Soldiers of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division and the Romanian 341st Infantry Battalion lit up the southern Iraqi sky while cross training one another on their different military weapon systems.
"This cross training was an enjoyable familiarization exercise that allowed the American Soldiers to shoot weapons that they would never be able to fire (otherwise)," said Sgt. 1st Class Bogdan Marius, a Romanian soldier who taught the Americans how to use his military's weapons. "Both forces took the time to learn valuable techniques that could later be used in combat."
During the past six months, Long Knife Soldiers have worked alongside the Romanians and the Iraqi Security Forces in various operations to provide stability in the tri-province area of Muthanna, Dhi Qar and Maysan Provinces.
"It was a different type of mission that brought all the guys closer together," said Staff Sgt. Chris Toledo, the noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the joint-firing range. "Usually we just observe and assist the Romanians on operations and missions. This time we had the chance of a lifetime to fire weapons that we normally wouldn't have the opportunity to."
The Long Knife Soldiers operated the Romanian weapon systems, including the rocket-propelled grenade launcher and the AK-47 assault rifle. Additionally, the White Shark troops were given a chance to fire the Americans' M-4 carbines, M203 grenade launchers and M2 .50-caliber machine gun.
After the last rocket was fired and the assault rifle magazines were emptied, the troops cleared the range and discussed the positive aspects of the training event.
Looking forward to the next mission, the Long Knife Soldiers took their newfound skills and headed back to the base to continue preparing for their next mission. Toledo said the weapons training created a stronger bond with their Romanian counterparts.

If you're an eventer, you know every successful cross-country run starts in the same place -- in the start box, where your horse's attitude may set the tone for the entire competition. You'd like him to be confident, alert, and relaxed, standing obediently for the countdown while you do your last-second adjustments of your stopwatch and crop ... and then leave the start box on the word 'go' in a smooth acceleration to his first fence.

Hello DWILers,
Long time lurker, first time poster. This is a new name, my usual account has my name in it, and i wanted to go anonymous for my own privacy. Trigger for mentions of cancer and death
BG; My MIL is a minor boundary stomper, GMOTY faker, and general pain in the patootie. She got put on a TO for almost two years for telling my DH that she'll "see him dead" and then hanging up on him when he joined the military.
FF; we just recently had our Squish. He is the last for us. a complicated high risk pregnancy and my body just cannot handle another pregnancy again. ever. we have come to grips with this.
One of the complications was my thyroid. it stopped working years ago and i managed it with meds and bloodwork. at my endocrinologist appt on friday, she told me that i have thyroid cancer. we havent talked about the next step yet, because she wanted to do some more testing before we make that decision.
i am in shock. Fri & Sat, DH turned off phones and dealt with the news. we talked until we had accepted the cancer and how we were going to handle this whole kerfuffle. On Sunday, we told the FOO and FIL on skype. they took it as well as it can be. They promised to love and support me all ways. MIL was a different story. We told her, and she was silent. Then she looked at me and said, "Well, when you die, i'll take the kids. Then since DH wont have you or the kids to hold him back, he can marry somebody else and start over..but do it right this time"
i was stunned. but before i could find my brains and lose it on her, DH stepped in. He got right in the camera and said," You have one chance to explain to me in what fucking way was that comment acceptable?" she spluttered and said it was just a joke. DH said it was the nastiest thing she has ever said, and it was the last time she' ll ever speak to us again. then he hung up.
He emailed FIL, (they divorced long ago) SILs, and GGMIL this;
"MIL has crossed the line with DW and I. As far as we are concerned, she is dead. Do not talk to us about her, and do not talk to her about us. If you pass information either way, we will limit contact for 6 months. if you do it twice, you will join her. period. happy holidays! love, Mr.NoSteakSauce."
That was yesterday. she has called, texted, emailed, facebooked and tried everything but smoke signals. i am just numb. who says that to someone who just found out they have cancer.
ill keep you all updated as the crazy keeps going.
bad joke (possible trigger) UD 4 5 11 17 19 22 24 26 27 bad update 57
"This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good. ~Stitch
You are only venting if you do nothing to solve the problem. -dkjay279
I think next Wednesday is her DH's birthday, which will bring another load of crazy, I am sure. However, I like the do-over idea!
His birthday was LAST Wednesday. For a week, he is "older" than her.
I think.
Happy, happy Birthday, OP. I am so sorry it was forgotten.
Yes his was last wednesday.
OP happy birthday.. I'm sorry he forgot. Maybe he will wake up today and realize it and give you the most awesome day ever to make up for forgetting!
~§~Ashlea+Nick= D(11/02),J(3/05),C(7/11)My family!
You just have to decide you are going to fake it till you make it!!
Happy Birthday OP!!!!
I am sorry that everyone forgot it. :( That does suck the big one. Maybe he as something up his sleeve?
Oh, OP! Hugs and happy birthday wishes!
We spend a lot of time here making judgments about people's character based on the little the poster tells us. I really really think that a husband like yours would never be okay with your being upset and will probably beat the crap out of himself for allowing all of this to preoccupy his mind so much that he didn't spoil the absolute crap right out of you! Don't be dignified about it (I was the year my husband dropped the ball on my b-day and he as a result had no idea how badly it hurt me) tell him.
You deserve a lot of spoiling. I am sorry I'm not a "in real life" person to be able to give it to you!
"I'm saying this to you with love, compassion and in the spirit of true sisterhood: you are full of shit!"
AITF where people matter more than noms.
Happy Birthday OP. I hope today is a much better day for you.
I still don't like you.� I never have. - Indimom3
You gotta flick the little man in the boat to make me bust a nut.� - Caseysbabydoll.
Mention it today and give him the opportunity to fix it. Based on everything you have shared I would be shocked if he doesn't go over and above to make up for forgetting. You both have so much on your plate. It sucks but I can see how it slipped by.
"I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to steal my monkey baby. Don't bother though because, let me tell you something, I am the Alpha Female here

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Lino José Gutiérrez, 25, lives in the Agusto Farría neighborhood, which is in Masaya. His wife works as a shopkeeper to help meet household expenses; they have a two-year-old son. His future plans for his family is to be able to build their own home since they currently share space in his mother-in-law's house and it is very difficult to have any privacy for his family. For the past three years, Lino has worked as a bicycle sales- and repairman. He started his business using his wife's savings and his severance pay from his former job. A year later, he is grateful to Afodenic for having approved his first loan which he used to buy various replacement parts. He managed to repay in a timely fashion. Now, he would like this second loan to buy motorcycle replacement parts to offer his customers better service. In the future, he would like to buy a space in the market so that he can work from there and earn higher profits to build his house since building materials are very expensive and he must proceed little by little to give his family their own, suitable housing.

My son loves it! Such a simple yet clever app. My son absolutely loves it and it keeps him occupied for hours. Love the Facebook intergration also which makes sending selfies so much easier. I do wish there was some way to slow down the red dot as it sometimes scares my son away
Doesn't work on Nexus 7 My cat still likes to play with the red dot, but hitting it will not activate the camera. The menu button does not function.

Sebastian Michaelis by Silverwing26Watch
©2013-2016 Silverwing26
Sebastian Michaelis. Gah, what is there to say really? I am really proud of how this one came out. Despite the fact it's a quarter of the size of the giant Ciel, it's to date the most challenging piece I've tackled. The shading is very detailed.
This is also the last piece I completed before my husband suddenly passed away and thus has some very special meaning to me.
It's a little over 2' square and uses 6 different colors. It was crocheted with an F hook and took just shy of a month to complete. This is also the first piece to have border that was not black. I think the red on the edge helps the red in the eyes pop. Once again as with most of my projects, the eyes were my favorite part.

I had no idea that you could do something like this with crochet! This is amazing!
this is so amazing.
this is absolutely amazing
Ahhhh cool! I'm working on one of the two of them myself!
Thanks!!! Excellent! Come let me know when you've posted them. I would love to take a look
Wow, that is beautiful. I'm a cross stitcher myself and have a Kuro related piece in the planning stages so I can totally appreciate the kind of work that goes into a piece like this. Also my condolences for the death of your husband, I hope you are doing well and have lots of support.
Thank you kindly!!! Ooh cross stitch! Some really beautiful things can be done with cross stitch. I've never mastered it myself, but as a fellow fiber artist I know what kind of time and effort foes into a piece like that.
Thank you very much for the supportive words. I'm doing well considering the circumstances. I have good people around me, and of course my art. Come by and let me know when you start your Kuro piece?
I'm working on a Ronald currently.
I'll definately let you know when I start, although I'm working on two other pieces at the moment, and cross stitch can take AGES so I don't think it will be for a while yet. I could just start and have 3 projects on the go, but prior experience tells me it will be chaos. LOL
I look forward to seeing Ronald when you finish.
I look forward to seeing Ronald when you finish.
I know the feeling. I try and keep things down to one project at a time. It doesn't always work, but I try.
This is great,you made a very good job.
Awesome as always. Keep up the good work!
Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
this is incredible work, and very beautiful.
please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband.

I am so sorry about your husband, I hope you feel better soon. Amazing work by the way! I hope your art helps you through this troubled time and if you need someone to talk to I'll be here for you.
Thank you so kindly for your words of support and encouragement. I will keep that in mind most certainly.
So beautiful! I like the shading especially on the distant part of his face and how it forms the nose, because it's detailed enough and not more that it needs to be. For me it's always hard not to make something too detailed. I love your choice of reference pics for both Ciel and Sebastian so much. And in your interpretation their expressions are so special.. and soft maybe.
Thank you very kindly, both for the lovely words about my art, and for the personal support. I'm doing my best to take care of myself and surrounding myself with good people. I've got several more pieces patterned and ready to go, so I will at least have art to carry me through everything going on.
I'm thinking about opening up commissions after the new year.
Thank you both for the compliment and the kindness. This one I finished before he passed. But I am now working on a new piece to keep me occupied. It all help a little at a time in it's own way. *hugs*
The shading is really amazing and detailed.
What does the 2' stand for? 2 foot? Anyway, it looks really big and impressive!
Thank you so much! I'm very proud of the shading on this one.
Yes, that is 2 feet across. It's pretty much a square. So, not nearly as big as the giant Ciel but way more detailed. I enjoyed the piece very much.
You can be, it is really fantastic!
Wow, that is big. Do you hang it up on a wall?
It isn't on the wall yet, but that is the intended place. The big Ciel is about 4 feet across so while I want to put that on the wall, it also looks good on the bed.
The 2 foot ones though, make great wall hanging sizes.
Wow, making your own bed-blanket sounds so cool. Ciel must look pretty awesome on your bed.
He really does. I have plans to make a queen size blanket. I'm just not sure when that will happen though. I had planned to do a bunch of the squares like this one and then attach them together. I'll need to see. My inspiration for larger projects has dwindled a bit with circumstances being what they are.
So one thing at a time right now. Smaller projects like the new Ronald for my etsy shop, and then commissions maybe and see what strikes my fancy in between.
I see. But maybe it's a good idea to start with smaller projects. Even though I consider the Ronald project not really small but maybe it's just me. Anyway, he looks really amazing, I just saw the 30% image!

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Keith Urban is a superb guitarist and passable singer, but he makes awful music. He often collaborates with Richard Marx--yep, that Richard Marx--which should tell you about all you need to know about Urban's artistic aspirations, or lack thereof.

Keith Urban & Dwight Yoakam
Taylor Swift Risks Never Ever Winning Country Fans Back
Yet Nicole Kidman's Aussie countryman and husband may be the most influential male country musician of the last two decades, and it has nothing to do with what comes out of his mouth, but rather what people might want to put in it.
In 2004, the great Texas music journalist John Nova Lomax wrote a short essay about how male Nashville superstars like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney had shed their chaw-filled cheeks and mullets for a more muscular and metrosexual look. Lomax's observations were dead-on, but he neglected to identify the cause of this aesthetic shift: Keith Urban.
While Urban had toiled for a years as an axe-slinging session man in Nashville since relocating from his native New Zealand in the early '90s, he'd only recently achieved stardom as a soloist. With earrings in his ears, eyes that hinted at an affinity for manscara, and blonde streaks in his long, impeccably groomed hair, Urban resembled Richie Sambora with John Bon Jovi's porcelain complexion. He was, in a word, pretty. He also struggled with cocaine addiction and attracted Hollywood starlets. His considerable musical chops didn't much matter: On the strength of image and looks alone, Urban brought an androgynous glam-rock edge to Nashville of the likes it had never seen.
Hence, in a maneuver meant to prevent the wholesale concecession of their female fan bases to Urban, McGraw and Chesney hit the gym and hired stylists, and Nashville has never been the same. A hick image can still sell, to be sure, but man candy like Jake Owen and Luke Bryan has a better shot of landing in heavy rotation on CMT and selling zillions of records. Call it New Urbanism, and love it or hate it, it probably means less Opry dressing rooms are catered by Chick-Fil-A these days.

Your thoughts?
you suck **** yo lil scank *** **** pssy
in desperate need of new gameplay footage!
ah, amazing update this time guys :) whats not to be loved about this mod and the epic team behind it.
so what exactlyy was the update? just something minor like description change?
"last update 10 hours ago"
aaah I was hoping for some new gameplay footage or a podcast :(
whats going on guys?
some heretic stopped watching.. probably just a misclick
this mod looks so huge.. im still curious whether and how you really managed to fill all this content with a good story and good missions :)
and whats most important: lots of awesome stuff for us to discover. I mean, really, for me what stalker lacked the most to be a PERFECT game was extra hidden stuff.. secrets. less limitations, less unpassable fences.. small secret areas, unique weapons and stuff, secret sidepaths.
I know you guys are doing your best - obviously - but many things most of us stalker fans dream off simply cant be achieved in this engine, so I hope a future release will fullfill our desires :)
the perfect atmosphere combined with freeplay and huge explorable areas.
im a gamer and a car lover i play airsoft back then and driving games nows a lot of cars (but not all).. anime! and uh youtube? SNIPER!
3 words
this really needs a multiplayer. anyway, its nto working properly atm
looks cool.. now make a multiplayer game out of it and its perfect.
so is this weorking atm? anyway, downloading.
"trolls the **** out of people"
you know, successful trolling requires some intelligence... the only thing you could possibly troll would be a dog or a cat.
Ah, so trollface created 10 new accounts out of frustration.
I want this so badly, like a spoiled child wants its toys and annoys its parents about it everyday.
that game looks terrible
nice color scheme
nice try, trollface.
"RUUH"? Are you not even capable of implying a grammatically correct articulation, sir?
i am obviously talking about mistake.
maybe 8 for people who like to explore :)
and I dont like it to be honest.. its atmosphere is deep and the mapping is great, but it blatantly uses the exact same zombies Paranoia did (minor skin changes, same sounds) and even many other elements of Paranoia (i.e. the part where you crouch through a funnel and suddenly the bottom of the funnel breaks and you fall down, clearly ripped off of paranoia).
its the first mod that pops up when you type "mistake" in the moddb search field...
cool story bro
what is this?
this mod was awesome back in the day :)
a revive on source would be awesome


text: Does anyone have any insight as to how to get a refund from Kai at Momovelo (www.momovelo.com). I ordered two items two months ago, was charged for them, and never received the items. I've sent almost 10 e-mails to the various momovelo e-mail addresses. They don't list a telephone number. I understand they may have closed up shop, but maybe someone knows him personally on these boards that can help me out. I just want my money back.

Dividend.com: Will Lilly Blossom?
(MOLX), manufacturer and seller of electronic components worldwide, cut its first-quarter outlook -- citing lower demand in its telecom, data infrastructure and automotive markets.Management says the industrial and consumer electronic markets are below the company's original outlook -- as customers remain cautious in their procurement and forecasting -- given the significant uncertainty in the global economy. For the first quarter, Molex sees earnings of 25 cents to 29 cents a share -- below Reuters consensus estimates of 38 cents a share. We have avoided the shares since our early June coverage began, when Molex shares were trading in the $27-$28 range. We recommend looking elsewhere for better investment opportunities. The company has a 2.75% dividend yield, based on last night's closing stock price of $22.19. Molex is not a recommended dividend stock at this time, holding a Dividend.com Rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars. Eli Lilly Reportedly Offering $70 per Share for ImClone According to various news reports, Eli Lilly (LLY - Get Report) is in advanced talks to acquire ImClone Systems (IMCL) for $70 per share in cash in a $6.1 billion deal. Eli Lilly's offer significantly trumps the latest offer from Bristol Myers (BMY - Get Report) of $62 per share. Bristol Myers already owns a 17% stake in ImClone Systems. Eli Lilly is looking to add to its current slate of Oncology products -- which presently include Alimta and Gemzar. ImClone's cancer treatment Erbitux -- which is used to combat colorectal, head and neck, and lung cancers -- had sales of about $1.3 billion in 2007.Molex Cuts Outlook on Lower Demand Molex

I like this album a lot.
This four song set has two great songs, one that's very good and one that could have been done better.
One could almost say that The Raskins are a gimmick band.
Folk rock singer songwriter type music is the main order of business here.
This set is essentially electronic dance music, but there is a decent range to it beyond that.
This album has some modern music in the mix.
I suppose these guys are pretty much guaranteed to have a fan base, even before anyone heard them. That's because the lineup is legendary. The band is made up of Vinnie Moore (guitar) (UFO), Kelly Keeling (vocals and bass) (Michael Schenker Group, King Kobra) and Scot Coogan (drums and vocals) (Lita Ford, Ace Frehley). The question is, how is the music? Honestly, this is a great album. It's nothing Earth shattering in terms of originality, but the hard rocking, classic sound is done extremely well. If you like 1970s styled hard rock, you should love this.
With a wide range of sounds, this is modern pop music, but twisted in a very different way.
What an amazing set this is. I'm reminded of some descriptions I've heard of the band Phish.
There is a sung, piano based movement that opens this.
Buddy Rich is a legendary jazz performer and also a big influence on a lot of modern drummers.
This is an unusual disc. It's also a compelling one.
This is the new CD from someone in my geographical neighborhood.
Rival Empire's website includes the following disclaimer about this album:
I've seen some people who call these guys a reggae band.
I know Marty Robbins is a country artist.
This is one of a new set of discs featuring two classic albums on one CD.
I know this artist is considered folk music.
When approaching a new Tokyo Rosenthal album, it's a pretty safe bet what you are going to get.
Based on the title and the cover you might think this is some new rough-edged hard rock band.
This reissue is pretty cool.
This set is pretty cool. I enjoy pretty much everything here. .
I definitely consider myself a fan of Tim Russ.

I'm writing a standalone utility program which, given a jar containing a JPA-2 annotated persistence unit, needs to programmatically get a list of all my @Entity classes in a particular persistence unit.
I'd like to decide which of 2 approaches would be the way to go to get this information, and why; or if there is another better way I haven't thought of.
Solution 1
Java program puts jar on the classpath, creates persistence unit from the classes in the jar using JavaSE methodologies. Then it uses the javax.persistence classes to get the JPA Metamodel, pull back list of class tokens from that.
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("MY_ PERSISTENCE_UNIT");
Metamodel mm = emf.getMetamodel();
// loop these, using getJavaType() from Type sub-interface to get
// Class tokens for managed classes.
Solution 2
Program scan the directories and files inside the specified jar for persistence.xml files, then finds one with the specified persistence unit name. Then XPath the file to get the list of
<class> XML elements and read the fully qualified class names from there. From names, build class tokens.
- I'd like to go with approach 1 if possible.
- This utility will NOT run inside a container, but the jar is an EJB project designed to run inside one. How will this be a problem?
- The utility will have Open-EJB available on the classpath to get implementations of all the Java EE 6 classes.
- Even though the EJB project is built to run on Hibernate, the utility should not be Hibernate-specific.
- Are there any stumbling blocks?

Traditionally in Morocco the Jewish Moroccans would celebrate Pesach or Passover culiminating in Mimouna, which is like the Rite of Spring (in Iran it's called Nowruz or new year). Prior to the last day of Pesach and the Mimouna celebration, they observe the holiday for a week, and do not eat bread or anything with yeast (thus, no cake, beer etc). At the end of the Passover holiday, everybody gets together to celebrate. Moroccan Muslim neighbors come over with flour, sugar and other ingredients, to make mofletas (large homemade donuts). There is a celebratory table—quite similar to the Iranian Zoroastrian Nowruz table setting, or Haftsin—with items representing the Spring and abundance, like pomegranates, a whole fish, chocolate coins, sweets, fruit and more. Read more about the traditional Mimouna.
Traditional attire welcome (optional), also a full selection of Hamsa (Hand of Fatima) and other evil eye jewelry from Gulnur. Moroccan catering by Bouchra Azizy.
Mimouna: Moroccan Festival is an occasion for us all to be Moroccans, for Arabs, Arab Jews, Jews and their friends to celebrate together. Enjoy the beautiful dance of the striking Rosa Rojas and her group Guedra, with the authentic gnawa music of Youssef Iferd and guest performer Fella Oudane. Everything is included in the price of the ticket: live music, dance, Mimouna table, mofletas, sweets, Moroccan tea and good fortune for the year!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Calling for peace and free speech, American Arab/Muslim and Jewish comedians will share their Charlie Hebdo comedy in Hollywood on February 12, 2014 when they perform in a special edition of the Sultans of Satire: Middle East Comic Relief, the national comedy-satire show launched 10 years ago by the Levantine Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Headlined by Egyptian-American Ahmed Ahmed, of Comedy Central's Axis of Evil Comedy Tour and TBS' "Sullivan and Son," the tribute takes place at the Harmony Gold Theatre in Hollywood, 7655 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90046, and is cosponsored by the international organization, Muslims for Progressive Values, NGO at the United Nations.

One of the biggest uncovered stories in the Middle East is the chasm between Israel's Euro-American Jewish population (Ashkenazim), and the Jews from the Arab/Muslim world, the Mizrahim. Deep-rooted racism continues to play a role in Israeli society between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim (sometimes called Sephardic Jews). Indeed, often there is a direct relationship between how Israel treats the Palestinians and the way Israeli society stratifies its own Jewish population, with Ashkenazim occupying more seats in the Knesset and more overall government control now than at any time since 1977, according to anthropologist and Professor Smadar Lavie.
Smadar Lavie suggests that there is a direct correlation between social protest movements in Israel, Ashkenazi-Mizrahi relations, and attacks on Gaza. Her talk will address Gaza 2014 and the Mizrahi predicament, right-wing politics and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Author most recently of Wrapped in the Flag of Israel, Mizrahi Single Mothers and Bureaucratic Torture, Smadar Lavie is a Scholar in Residence at the Beatrice Bain Research Center, UC Berkeley's feminists of color think tank, and at the Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century, University College Cork (Ireland). Her book looks at the role of gender in the Mizrahi-Ashkenazi divide with particular emphasis on how Mizrahi women (whose roots are in Arab countries, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East) navigate right-wing politics in Israel, noting that many Mizrahim vote for right-wing parties.
Professor Lavie will give a rare talk in Los Angeles on the relationship between the Mizrahi-Ashkenazi divide and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, on Thursday, Nov. 6, 7 pm. Book signing and reception to follow.
What do we understand about contemporary Egypt now after several years have passed since the Tahrir Square Revolution of 2011? With the fall of Hosni Mubarak, the election of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi, his ouster and the subsequent takeover of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), and the imposition of General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi as Egypt's new president, the landscape continues to rumble beneath Egyptian feet.
Egyptian-born French American novelist Juliana Maio has written a novel, City of the Sun, that connects many of the roots of today's turmoil to World War II, with the Axis-Allied struggle for control of the Suez Canal, and the early history of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Drawing from her Egyptian-Jewish heritage and personal experience as a refugee and immigrant, Maio's City of the Sun delivers a powerful story with a host of intriguing characters, from spies to scientists within Cairo's Jewish community. The novel follows Mickey Connolly, an American journalist who is in Cairo to report on the war in North Africa in 1941. Mixing true historical events with a fictional story of love and espionage, Maio creates a poignant tale, while painting an accurate portrait of a pivotal moment in history.
Ms. Maio will present her novel at the Levantine Cultural Center in conversation with Egyptian-born political science professor Nubar Hovsepian, on Thursday, Oct. 2, 7 pm. All welcome for what is sure to be a scintillating conversation linking Egypt's past and its relationships with the United States, Israel and the Palestinians with today's current events. Visit Juliana Maio's web site. Cover $10 or $15 with signed copy of the book. Café open for dinner as of 6 pm.
On Saturday, December 13th, 2014, the Levantine Cultural Center will hold its year-end comedy benefit show with the New Sultans of Satire at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center, in Long Beach. With a special tribute to Robin Williams, this evening brings together the top young Middle Eastern comedians at work together, including Aron Kader (Comedy Central's "Axis of Evil"), Tehran, Sammy Obeid, Marie-Thérèse Abou-Daoud, Sherwin Arae and Melissa Shoshahi. The Levantine Cultural will donate a portion of the proceeds to Kinder USA (Kids in Need of Development, Education, and Relief) to help deserving children in Gaza with medical needs following the summer war. The Levantine Cultural Center works to bridge political and religious divides that may exist between Americans and the Middle East/North Africa, by presenting arts and education programs in the spirit of exploration, discovery and unity.
Proceeds benefit the Levantine Cultural Center, a 501(c)3 founded 13 years ago as a grassroots nonprofit organization that champions a greater understanding of the Middle East/North Africa and our communities in diaspora.

ONE of the most remarkable men certainly of our times as a politician, or of any age as a philosopher., was Franklin; who also stands alone in combining together these two characters, the greatest that man can sustain, and in this, that having borne the first part in enlarging science by one of the greatest discoveries ever made, he bore the second part in founding one of the greatest empires in the world.
In this truly great man everything seems to concur that goes towards the constitution of exalted merit. First, he was the architect of his own fortune. Born in the humblest station, he raised himself by his talents and his industry, first to the place in society which may be attained with the help only of ordinary abilities, great application, and good luck; but next to the loftier heights which a daring and happy genius alone can scale; and the poor Printer's boy who at one period of his life had no covering to shelter his head from the dews of night, rent in twain the proud dominion of England, and lived to be the Ambassador of a Commonwealth which he had formed, at the Court of the haughty Monarchs of France who had been his allies.
Then, he had been tried by prosperity as well as adverse fortune, and had passed unhurt through the perils of both. No ordinary apprentice, no commonplace journeyman, ever laid the foundations of his independence in

Used a hurricane from NASA for this one
its very good i like it , but i feel that the center is a bit off idk
sorry for late reply but your right its too bright and theres no detail or definition, i recently saw a pic of galaxy that showed me this too, not sure if i can get to changing it but thanks for comment
Amazing work!
Hey! I think this is gorgeous! Can you give me some detail as to how you created it? I'm new - trying to learn how to make space scenes of my own. Really good job!
Well it is a photograph of a hurricane from nasa but get familiar with painting in details, using different layer modes, and adjustment layers. its honestly tough to explain how i create works because most of the time my technique varies depending on what i want to achieve. I do have some techniques that i use fairly consistently though. My advice would be to find some tutorials here and follow them but continue to just work and experiment and you will get better and find things that work for you. You can see the progression of quality work in many artists gallery including mine. Just practice, its cliche but its the truth haha there is really no shortcut unless your really gifted
I know what you mean. I think I am a talented designer, but I mostly do layout, logos, websites and point-of-sale campaigns. I've needed to create my own backgrounds, but nothing so wonderful as planets and stars! I appreciate that you took some time to try to explain. I will practice!

PEOPLE!!! The 360 and even the PS3 is not going anywhere and will not be closing up shop anytime soon. Too many kick ass HDTV's to keep both systems alive. I don't care if the Wii outsold the 360 and PS3 three fold, its not taking out either system. The Wii has its place as a niche console, and not a revolutionary one. Maybe thats why Ninty strayed from the revolution name. Is the Wii a better success than the virtual boy, yes, but it doesn't have the whole package to take out the other consoles. Xbox dropped the ball somewhat and should have had the HD DVD player in the console, but even without that the 360 has some great titles, mainly adult oriented, but great ones indeed.
All the Wii needs to do is keep putting out great Mario and Zelda based games and it will sell. That market is big enough to keep the Wii afloat.

The Ark - War Within - Protectobots - First Aid by JP-VWatch
Project / Transformers - The War Within - Protectobots
The Ark - War Within - Protectobots - First Aid
A big project I've been working on since 2010. What I was aiming to achieve is detailed character study sheets of The War Within/Cybertronian, Protectobots and using the style of the Transformers: The Ark - A Complete Compendium Of Transformers Animation Models Book.
When I first read Transformers: The War Within comic book series and got up to The Dark Ages issues and seeing the redesigned Protectobots in Cybertronian robot/alternate modes, I was simply amazed and excited that they were done by someone! I couldn't stop marveling at them because they look so awesome and they felt the same like in the G1 cartoon, like having their own base and being away from the other Autobots. Then later finding out who designed them Don Figueroa a favourite Transformer artist of mine I felt more happy because I love his Transformer style of drawing and also appreciating the artist who drew them in the comic Andrew Wildman. I had to give more my thanks to them for doing such a incredible job and everyone else who gave them life within those pages!
One thing I would of liked is to have seen more of TWW Protectobots but I was more than satisfied with what they produced and due to the limited reference material of TWW Protectobot designs, this is where I passionately decided to draw my own fan thorough character study sheets for them, using all the information and references that was available. I tried my absolute best to make them accurate as possible from the original content and give them the G1 cartoon feel!
Special note: What I did different with First Aid regarding his weapons is changing his alt mode "Dual-Barrelled De-crystallizer Cannons" into "Dual-Barrelled De-crystallizer Beams" which are integrated into First Aid's body structure. The reason behind that is I wanted them to look and feel less dangerous and powerless since they're main purpose is to weaken metal by disrupting the crystal-line structure of the target. When in robot mode those dual-barrelled de-crystallizer beams can also become "De-crystallizer Pistols" which I wanted to make more use of them when in robot mode as well as in alt mode since they will become useful for First Aid's non-combatant personality.
What else I came up with is designing his Laser Beam Fists which are purposely for welding in surgery. Instead I decided to also make them defensive weapons, which enable First Aid to shoot focused laser beams that would have the effect of slightly damaging targets with minimal effectiveness. However they're very strong and effective if First Aid is pushed to the edge and focuses his energy into them more which would become a last resort and really harmful.
Finally his "Force-field Arm Generators" are designed to allow First Aid have the unique ability to generate strong force-fields within a wide spread radius, though it can be a huge risk due to its energy usage but it's purpose serves and he can use it as long as he is able because that's what his role is, to aid and protect! It opens up from his lower arms from special red cross symbols and generates the needed energy capacity to create the specific area of effect that the force-field can extend out to.
I really loved and enjoyed creating new designs for his weapons/equipment/ability while adapted from his pr-existing profile! I wanted to make WW First Aid quite special since many of us remember him from G1 episode "The Ultimate Weapon" and implemented all the things that would reflect his characteristics through this design and the his toy was one of the main keys to make it possible. So I hope you do really find it interesting and like it!
Now I give you well-known Protectobot First Aid, my fifth Ark style, War Within character sheet in the series!
I'd love to know what you people think and I hope this helps to give more of a broader design look of the character within The War Within universe!

Awesome Cybertronian First Aid you draw, I think I like it.
Yep you're Hot Spot ON! He is one of the pacifists after all.
Thank you for the comment and favourite Chris!
no problem and thankyou for finally doing my favorite protectobot! I really would kill to see this design come to life. A third party company needs to do them atleast since fansproject seems to have a thing for the combiners(they made menasor!!!!!!) but I finally saw in hand images of the stunticons even though they look fantastic a friend of mine broke motormaster right out of the package so that sucks.
be nice if Hasbro came up with a line like this. since the new generations ones are based on the IDW comics and come with an IDW comic in the package, they could do the same thing with Dreamwave and re-issue the war within series with these designs. would be a huge hit with older fans and would finally give me the first aid I desire
O yeah, they could do it but their goals are different and sometimes out of character for G1 fans.
yea my friend Tallus76 on here is the one who had the bad luck with the set. broke a panel off motormaster, a panel off breakdown and the windshield on drag strip just by taking them out of the boxes. but they do look beautiful as menasor
told me he's going to keep them in combined form and try not to touch them much, keeps them displayed next to Hercules(devastator) and Fortress Maximus

Class 2A baseball: Dalton Tillison overcomes early struggles, Dale whips Alva
It took Dale baseball coach Jerry Sanford five pitches to make a visit to the mound Thursday morning.
After electing to not use Ole Miss commit Evan Anderson on the mound, Sanford found himself delivering a firm message to left-hander Dalton Tillison, who had yet to throw a strike in five pitches against Alva.
"He said if I don't start throwing strikes, then I am going to be on the bench," Tillison said. "And I took that seriously and ended up coming back and throwing like I should have been."
Tillison retired eight straight after his opening two-batter hiccup, and Dale pieced together just enough runs to beat the Goldbugs 7-2 in the Class 2A quarterfinals at Palmer Field in Dolese Park.
The top-ranked Pirates (28-4) play Colbert at 11 a.m. Friday in Shawnee.
No. 12 Alva (24-12) was making its first state tournament appearance since 1976, while Dale is attempting to repeat as champion and win its 11th spring title.
Sanford, though, is holding firm with his poker face by refusing to name a starting pitcher for Friday, leaving it up in the air when Anderson will see the mound.
"That might be a little bit more of a secret because I don't want to give that out because then they'll know if it's a right-hander or left-hander," Sanford said. "I don't know yet.
"We've got about six guys I'm comfortable throwing, but I don't know why I decided (to start Tillison). A lot of people thought I would throw the Anderson kid, but it's a crapshoot. He's ready to go."
Tillison, though, made good on his coach's faith to name him the starter, allowing just five hits and the two first-inning runs over seven strong innings.
For the junior, it was a confidence booster when he found out following Wednesday's practice that he was getting the start.
"I've got a pitching job and that's what I do," Tillison said "It's a lot of faith. They believe in me and I believe in the team behind me."
However, Tillison had to believe in the Pirates' offense, which never really got going but took advantage of an erratic fourth inning by Alva starter Ty Hooper to score four runs and take a 5-2 lead.
Hooper, who threw six innings and allowed just six hits, walked three and hit one batter, and Alva committed two errors in the fourth as the game unraveled.
"We just came around that one inning and did what we needed to do," Tillison said "Once you get ahead sometimes it's hard to come back from it. We did our job."

Long Knives spread Holiday Cheer in Iraq
December 29, 2008
By Sgt. 1st Class Damian Steptore, 4th BCT PAO, 1st Cav. Div.
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - To help Service members and civilians stationed here get into the Christmas spirit, the bases Equal Opportunity Team organized an 'Around the World' program to show the different ways people celebrate the holiday season Dec 23.
"The holidays for my family goes over seven days, and my family chooses a word to concentrate on each day," said Sgt. Jessica Davis, assigned to the 142nd Combat Service Support Battalion, 7th Sustainment Brigade from Ft. Polk, La. "We call it the Celebration of Christ because it establishes what Christmas was originally created for, which was to celebrate the birth of Christ."
Davis explained how her family selects bible scriptures during each of the seven days to discuss the words picked out by the group.
After a series of poems, recitals and musical performances, Cpt. Aja Nansen, assigned to the 27th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division 'Long Knives' joined a few of her fellow Soldiers in their traditional holiday dance, 'He Mele No Lilo,' which originated from her native island, Samoa.
"We wanted other people to see what we do," said Nansen. "We just thought it was a creative thing to do."
Nansen said the Pacific Island dances are appropriate for all seasons and celebrations; especially during Christmas.
"We wanted to have something available for the Soldiers here on COB Adder," said Master Sgt. Ola Clark, the 4th Brigade, 1st Cav. Div. Equal Opportunity Advisor, from Monroe, La. "This was our way for the EO team to come together and plan an event so the Soldiers can feel loved."
Clark and the EO team extended their love even further by handing out Christmas stockings filled with food and gifts as the coalition Service members exited the event.
