"I postponed
paying for a membership for this site, for the reason
that there are so many additional sites that are at
no cost. In the end, I decided to give it a try. I'm
very glad I did. I've merely been on it for almost 24
hours and I have enjoyed every minute! I just want to
say that I think this is an exceptionally appealing
website. This not only ensures individual security,
but it maintains a high standard. Online dating has
been stereotypically low class and frowned upon. You
have set the standard for people who want to find someone
they will not come across in bars. I'm sorry
that I put it off for so long."-

"I'm an Emergency
Room medical doctor and I heard one of the nurses chatting
about your uniform dating service one night. She showed
it to me. I have to admit I was slightly cautious at
first. I have never used online dating in the past.
But with my work routine, I found it difficult to find
the kind of women I am interested in. I'm 48, very energetic
and I enjoy doing active things. The nurse who used
your site told me it would be trouble free to discover
the appropriate match. I've had various hits on my profile
so and I have been matched to the right singles for
me. It works great, I have now found a partner,
thank you MatchPerfect." - John

One year after a bullet went straight through her head, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords led the crowd in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at a candlelight vigil in Tucson. Giffords' recovery has inspired people across the country, but her presence at numerous memorial events today was particularly meaningful for those still struggling with the aftermath of the Arizona shooting.
Today NPR ran a depressing look at how little has changed since the massacre. Immediately after the shooting there were calls for more civility in politics, but it seems that if anything, the vitriol has increased with the start of campaign season. Colorado Sen. Mark Udall touched on that point while speaking at the University of Arizona this afternoon. Udall urged other politicians to learn from Giffords, saying:
Although Gabby now struggles with her words at times, we know what she's trying to say ... It's a simple concept. Words matter, and these days you don't hear our elected officials using words to bring us together. Too often words are used as weapons.

Gdansk : Michelin's recommendations
The old Prussian city of Danzig was a flourishing place in the Middle Ages. A strategic point in Poland - at the mouth of the Vistula where it empties into the Baltic Sea -, it was here that Europe slipped into the Second World War when Nazi troops attacked the town in September 1939. In the 80's, Gdansk rose to fame as the birthplace of the trade union movement Solidarnosc, active in the dockyards under the leadership of Lech Walesa. Reduced to rubble during the war, the city has been rebuilt in an attractive style reminiscent of Flanders.

Jacques Hamelle purchased the Paris publisher Jacques Maho (founded 1851) in 1877 and expanded the catalogue with the works of notable French composers of the era - including those of Debussy, Faure, Franck, D'Indy, Pierne, Saint-Saens, and Widor. After his death in 1917, the firm continued operation under his children. In 1921, Georges-Edgar Hamelle (1868 - 1956) became the new leader of the firm. In 1977 Leduc took over the distribution of the Hamelle catalogue and from 1993 on the firm was entirely run by Leduc.

Show Detailed Description
With the roll out of antiretroviral therapy (ARV) for HIV across sub-Saharan Africa an unprecedented number of people will be commencing lifelong therapy. Current estimates are that 5-6 million people in sub-Saharan Africa require ART. At the same time, the World Health Organization (WHO) Roll Back Malaria campaign is aggressively promoting the use of artemether/lumefantrine as first-line therapy for malaria in this setting. Many patients in this setting have already become resistant to first-line ARV and have moved onto lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) based second-line regimens. Kaletra is a potent inhibitor of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4), an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many drugs which is found predominantly in the liver and the gut. Lumefantrine, and to a lesser extent artemether, is extensively metabolized by CYP 3A4. Therefore when given to a patient already taking Kaletra for HIV, it is likely that elevated levels of these drugs in the patient will result. There is some concern that lumefantrine may be cardiotoxic due to its structural similarity to halofantrine which is known to cause irregular heart rhythms. This has not been borne out as yet in any studies performed with lumefantrine, however it is not known what levels will be achieved in patients when it is administered with a protease inhibitor such as Kaletra. The WHO has not addressed this issue in any of its previous policy documents but has identified ARV-antimalarial drug interaction studies as a research priority. This single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study aims to compare the levels of lumefantrine/artemether that result when it is given to a patient on Kaletra with patients not on any ARV. Data generated by this study will help address this important knowledge gap which has been identified by WHO and others as meriting urgent investigation.

nervous system (neurodegenerative disorder). PKAN is generally separated into classic and atypical forms. Children with classic PKAN develop symptoms in the first ten years of life. The atypical form of PKAN usually occurs after the age of ten and progresses more slowly. All individuals with PKAN have an abnormal buildup of iron in certain areas of the brain. A particular change, called the eye-of-the-tiger sign, which indicates an accumulation of iron, is typically seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain in people with this disorder. PKAN is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by changes (mutations) in the PANK2 gene.[1][2]Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare, movement disorder characterized by a progressive degeneration of the

I can barely bring myself to write this personal note. I watched your acceptance speech (of the Democratic nomination for attorney general) and you spoke about serving & protecting the vulnerable, the weak, those discriminated against. You actually got a little choked up. Well, what were my children, except vulnerable and weak, when you looked the other way while the lies were flying about, petitions were being filed and a THIRD trial wasted another year of life, of childhood? EVERY CPS report from your era at the City Attorney's Office said that "there were no CPS concerns or issues since the beginning of this case (26 April 1998). Please examine this photo (not to mention the hundreds of photos I used to illustrate this book with) and tell me if they look like they were being abused, May 2000, about the time Feinstein left and you took over ????????
They didn't get that way by themselves.
This is the bottom half of an appendix titled "Who Lied Where with Whom" which lists the following areas of criminal activity that we have documented in this manuscript:
#11 examples of … perjury in court petitions
# 9 examples of … simple perjury
# 5 examples of … tampering of evidence
# 6 examples of… suppression of evidence
# 3 examples of … manufacturing of documenting evidence
# 3 examples of … spreading patterns of misinformation
# 2 examples of … false imprisonment
# 3 examples of … child endangerment
# 4 examples of … malice-in-law
# 1 example of … failure to report a crime against a minor
# 1 example of … failure to report a federal fugitive
the ex post facto use of medical marijuana
the repeated failure to comply with the federal Indian Child Welfare Act
and a documented example of terroristic threat to minors
Now that the City's own hard paper shows where and when the social workers lied, I'd like to lay out what was the children's reality in 1998, in 1999, and 2000, to thus be prepared, should that day ever come, if God should bless me to be face-to-face with Kamala Harris, that great leader herself, whether it's before a congressional hearing (as it ought to be but being a gypsy I know better) or whether it happens in a hallway at the courthouse (my personal preference), so I can ask exactly why her office felt the need to put us through a 3rd trial – holding us in San Francisco another year – because per the City's own records, from the 20 Nov 2000 thru May 2001; i.e. reports going into her office at the City Attorney Office from September 2000 onwards, all saying the same: "there have been no actual C.P.S. concerns or issues".
Let me blunt, I'm not that smart, I have only a couple of years of college, I am no legal savant…these lies were easily seen…only reason this book exists is that I am still so angry to have lost my freedom here in America's most politically-correct, civil-rights-touting, bleeding-heart liberal enclave. My untrained legalistic brain could see them. There's no way Kamala and her well-trained bunch didn't see the lies. They are right there on the top of the surface. If I were to be allowed to put HER on the stand the way they did me & mine, I'd ask her "So why did YOU personally feel that another year of my life was at your disposal, you made all my children angry at ME, because I had promised that if they went to school for a year, they would free us from CPS because all would see how smart and neat and clever and great they are, they would have to let us go – but then they ended up doing two years? 1998 here, 1999 here, two-thirds of 2000…finally we think we can go back to our rural way of life, but then that's when Kamala Harris and her team of ten deputies demand another year. It was THREE years with CPS "supervising" us, forcing us to live an urban life when it was a rural one we loved and had been living until we came to this cursed city.
I personally think it's Kamala Harris' responsibility for coming into that office vacated by Katherine Feinstein – who after all approved the lies in the first place – instead of quietly releasing an illegal stay on my family who were detained by use of lies, Kamala Harris approves a third year under custody (even though it meant another trial with CPS saying they no issues or concerns with our family). By use of the documented lies & alterations, we were forced to remain here and continue raising our children in a place that hates the kind of person their mother wouldn't stop being even under court order. I heard Kamala Harris' acceptance speech for the nomination of her party to run for California Attorney General and I had to laugh when she slurred past "fighting for those Californians who live with hatred & bias". I want to know WHY her office (because I have established it wasn't CPS asking the court) why she had such bias for our lifestyle that she would allow her office to demand – – – and get — that THIRD year. We had something better to do, in a place way better than San Francisco.
But I already know why, the statute of limitations on what the late John Voelker did on 26 April 1998 by involving CPS ended on 26 April 2001; we were unexpectedly released from the case on 11 June 2001. And even if we could have made it back to Louisiana and managed to interest the Federal authorities in Baton Rouge, our reputation was damaged beyond repair thanks to the corrupt social workers at CPS and the deputy city attorneys of San Francisco, who have blanket immunity for what they do.

Swiss Tower Move-in Information
Contact Information
Move-in Scheduling Contact:
Relocation Coordinator
Arrival/Check-in Contact:
Apartment Manager
3900 Swiss Avenue, Apt. ###, Dallas, TX 75204
The post office recommends turning in your change of address form within 10 business days of your move-in date. You can either fill out a form or go to https://moversguide.usps.com to change your address online (quicker and less chance of error but there is a $1 charge).
Each resident must schedule their arrival date and time in advance by contacting the Housing Office. Housing requires at least a two-week notice of arrival, but residents are encouraged to schedule their move in date early in order to improve the likelihood that they will be able to move in on their preferred date and time. Two resident "move-ins" can be accommodated per day with one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Time slots are scheduled through the Relocation Coordinator in the Housing Office.
Move-in Availability for Swiss Tower
- Monday – Saturday (No Sundays or Seminary Observed Holidays when the Dallas Campus closes)
- Morning Time Slot: 8 am – 1 pm
- Afternoon Time Slot: 1 pm – 6 pm
Residents may not move in any items after 6:00 pm. Those not finished unpacking vehicles by 6 pm must complete the move on the following day (or Monday) if a time slot is available. Arrivals between 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm Monday through Saturday may not move in their belongings until the following day (or Monday). A key to the apartment and an air mattress (if available) will be provided until the appropriate move time.
No arrivals are permitted after 10 p.m.
Note: Due to the tremendous difficulties experienced in the past, Housing is unable to accommodate PODS or similar containers.
Check In
Thirty minutes prior to your arrival, please contact the Apartment Manager in Swiss Tower at 214-887-5215. Upon arrival, the Apartment Manager or the Assistant Manager will provide you with keys, moving equipment, and perform a walk through inspection of your new apartment.
Lease Meeting
Residents must sign the lease during their scheduled Lease Meeting in the Housing Office. The Housing Office holds one lease meeting on Tuesdays & Fridays; starting promptly at 10:00 am. Meetings are typically scheduled for the first Lease Meeting time following the resident's move into the building.
Prorated rent for the current month and the security deposit (less holding fee paid per request the initial apartment offer) will be collected at this meeting; kindly come prepared to pay. Cash, checks, cashier's checks, and money orders will be accepted during the lease meeting. Payment with a credit card may be done in advance to the lease meeting via Campus Net online. We are sorry, but no credit cards can be accepted in the Housing Office.
Residents are responsible for contracting with an electricity service provider for their apartment; please set up service with an outside provider prior to arrival. Monthly charges usually average around $30-$50 from October – April and $60-$100 from May – September. Deposit may be required depending on provider. There should be no need for a technician to be sent out, regardless of provider. Below are the most commonly used electric companies and their contact info:
- TXU Electric: www.txu.com/move; (800) 316-2135
- Reliant: www.reliant.com; (866) 735-4268
- Green Mountain: www.greenmountain.com; (866) 473-3689
- For other options, visit www.powertochoose.org
Wireless Internet
Hard wired access to free campus internet service is available in all apartments. The entire building has wireless access to the seminary's wireless network. Residents are welcome to arrange for their own internet service if 24/7 service is a must. Providers of internet service are AT&T U-Verse or Time Warner Cable.
- AT&T U-Verse: (800) 288-2020; www.att.com
- Time Warner: (972) 742-5892; www.timewarnercable.com
Cable Television
Time Warner Cable is the only cable provider in Swiss Tower. A technician must physically come to your apartment, thus requiring that the resident be home during the time of instillation. The resident will need to make arrangements 24 hours in advance with the Apartment Manager to check out the key to the Communications Room in case the technician needs to access that room. It is not the Apartment Manager or the Housing Office's responsibility to allow the technician access to either the Communications Room or your apartment if you are not present when the technician arrives.
- Cable outlets are located in the following areas: living room (long wall that adjoins the next apartment) and bedroom (shared wall with your study/second bedroom).
- Satellite dishes may not be attached to the outside of the building or to the window frame.
All apartments are unfurnished except for major kitchen appliances (not including microwaves) so residents will need to arrange for their own furnishings.
There are mini-blinds installed in all of the windows but you may put up curtains/drapes by the use of plastic anchors. Window sizes are as follows:
1 Bedroom/Study
|1st floor
|6' wide x 5'-8" tall (living/dining/bedroom)

Frequently Asked Questions
- How will I be paying for my apartment?
- Each resident has a rent account and will be billed monthly for their rent. Statements are sent only to residents who have not paid after the deadline. Each resident is required to pay their rent on time without demand as stated in the lease agreement. (You'll go over that when you sign your lease.)
- Where do I pay my rent?
- You may pay your rent inside the Housing Office or place it in the drop box in the mailroom area. Please make checks payable to DTS and include your ID number and the word "Rent" on the memo line. Do not place your check in an envelope, as it will clog the box. Residents may also pay online using a debit/credit card (there is a fee for each occurrence) or using an E-Check (this option is free). Automatic draft payments may also be arranged by completing the proper document, which is available in the Housing Office.

Swim under a waterfall at Hamilton Pool in Texas
Hamilton Pool just might be the most magical place in all of Texas-- this collapsed grotto, which is surrounded by shady forests, has been turned into a swimming hole, complete with refreshing waterfall.
It's also a short, 20-minute drive from Austin-- perfect for hipsters who want a swimming solution that's a little less mainstream.
The grotto has a long history. It was once an underground river, until the dome collapsed due to erosion, forming the canyon-like pool we see today.
Before the pool was owned by Morgon C. Hamilton, the area was inhabited by the Tonkawas and Lipan Apaches. Then, Hamilton bought the land in the 1860s, and he and his brother, Texas governor Andrew Jackson Hamilton, would frequently visit the grotto.
After that, the land was purchased by the Reimers, a family of German immigrants who planned to use the land to raise cattle. According to legend, their 8-year-old son rediscovered the pool. While such a feature could pose problems for cattle-raising, the Reimers recognized the pool's potential as an attraction for public use.
It wasn't until the 1960s, however, that the pool's popularity really took off.
In 1985, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Association bought the pool with the intent to restore the area's natural plant and wild life that had been disrupted by years of cattle ranching. Currently, the ecosystems are recovering nicely.
Such an incredible area hasn't gone unnoticed by Hollywood location scouts either. Hamilton Pool has been featured in films like 1990's "The Hot Spot," 2010's "Predators" and 2011's "The Tree of Life."
If you want to take a dip in the magical pool, plan on getting there early in the day: its popularity hasn't subsided.
Since the pool is a protected area, there's a limit to how many people are allowed in at once, and it fills up FAST, especially on hot Texas summer days.
According to the Austin Convention and Visitor's Bureau, 21 million people visited in 2012. It's 100% worth any potential wait, though-- I mean, just imagine how good it'll feel to swim underneath that waterfall!

Thanksgiving is not merely about football, turkey, mashed potatoes and going mad over deals on consumer electronics.
The number of neutral-court tournaments played this week – from Maui to the Bahamas, from New York City to Playa Del Carmen – reminds us all to be thankful for the presence of college hoops in our lives.
And, specifically, for some of the young men who make it extraordinary.
– Mike DeCourcy
College basketball players to be thankful forncaab November 25, 2013 7:09pm EST November 25, 2013 4:49pm EST Thanksgiving is not merely about football, food and going mad over deals on electronics. It's about college basketball, too. And, specifically, the young men who make it extraordinary, SN's Mike DeCourcy writes.
Thanksgiving is not merely about football, turkey, mashed potatoes and going mad over deals on consumer electronics.
2 Aaron Gordon, Arizona
What Gordon mostly heard as he prepared for his first season of college basketball was a single word: can't. There were so many analysts exclaiming that Gordon could not function as a Division I small forward, they could have filled the stands at the Carrier Dome. He was compared frequently to Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin, because both are phenomenal athletes with an insatiable hunger to collect rebounds.
But when presented with that comparison by Sporting News last June, Gordon had a direct answer: "He's an incredible player; he's the No. 1 pick," Gordon said. "I can't be too mad if people are comparing me to a No. 1 pick. But I can play point guard."
He hasn't had to do that for the Wildcats; transfer T.J. McConnell is doing great running the team. But Gordon's belief he can play on the perimeter hasn't been misplaced. He starts there and rotates over to power forward when either Brandon Ashley or Kaleb Tarczewski is on the bench. But Gordon has averaged 13 points and 9 rebounds and scored in double figures in every college game. And he's made four of his past five 3-point shots.
3 Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State
A national magazine came to the conclusion in its preseason issue that Smart had made a mistake by returning for his second season of college basketball. But that conclusion left unanswered an essential question: Who is Marcus Smart? The answer is that he is not simply concerned with where he'll land on the NBA's draft order.
"I just feel like I couldn't leave them on the note we ended on, losing to Oregon in the first round," Smart told Sporting News. "We weren't playing our best ball at the time. I felt like I didn't do enough to help my team at the time. I just feel like I left my teammates down."
Smart also said then he felt he would become a better pro prospect by working on his shooting, something he did throughout the summer, particularly while leading the U.S. to the FIBA U19 World Championship. Over the first four games, he'd bumped his 3-point accuracy up from 29 percent to 38.5 percent.
4 Patric Young, Florida
People have been consumed for so long with what Young might be, it's gone unnoticed just what he is. He has been a foundation for two teams that reached the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight and an important complement for a third that did the same.
Young is a few weeks shy of the 1,000-point mark, and of reaching the 100-mark in career victories. Florida's winning percentage during his career is 77.2. He has never been an elite rebounder or shot-blocker, nor has he become particularly proficient as a low-post scorer, which is why those so impressed with his body at a young age now look at him with disappointment.
Think of Young, though, as you would a caretaker point guard such as Jimmy Black or Anthony Epps or Taliek Brown. Sometimes there is a value in a player's presence, in how he carries himself and how he declines to surrender.
5 Gary Harris, Michigan State
The word "elegant" doesn't get used much in sports these days. I imagine it was a much busier adjective when Gale Sayers was playing for the Bears or Clyde Frazier was running point for the Knicks or Roberto Clemente was throwing out runners from right field. But today's sports stars don't shoot much for elegance.
So why does that word come to mind whenever Harris is on a basketball court in November 2013?
When Harris glides down the lane for a dunk or a layup, it's not the sheer physical force that catches you. It's the grace. Harris is a beautiful basketball player – and wonderfully productive, at 17.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists. And all that while he is caught in a bit of a 3-point shooting slump.
6 Montrezl Harrell, Louisville
Harrell is having to handle a lot of changes at the start of his second season. He is a starter now, and often a center and relied upon to more than surprise his opponents with energy and intensity. Last season he rarely was asked to make a meaningful difference in games, and mostly then it was at his natural position of power forward.
So he's had a rough moment or two already, such as in the Cardinals' neutral-court loss to North Carolina. And still he has been in or around double-figures in rebounds in every game and he converted more than 60 percent of his field goal attempts.
Harrell is easy to like, with a pleasant, humble demeanor off the floor that is discarded when he is asked to defend an opposing basketball player. Then, his length and quickness make him capable of matching up against most perimeter players, and his length and strength make him an effective interior defender. He still is finding his way this season. He'll figure it out.
7 C.J. Fair, Syracuse
The culture of the game has twisted to the point where a capable senior player is seen by many as some sort of failure. We see this all the time on Twitter: If he were any good, he'd be in the league already.
No one ever said that to Bill Walton or Patrick Ewing or Tim Duncan, though that was a different time. But it wasn't all that different when David West played as a senior at Xavier, or Chandler Parsons at Florida, or Wesley Matthews at Marquette. It's doubtful anyone would ask them to apologize for their careers.
Fair has advanced from good to better to very good to great along the course of his four-year SU career. He has mastered the unappreciated specialty of hitting 12-foot jumpshots, which doesn't get you 3-points and doesn't get you on SportsCenter. But it did, in Fair's case, help Syracuse get to the 2013 Final Four. And his decision to play one more season might get the Orange back there again.
8 Dwayne Evans, Saint Louis
He is maybe the least known great player in college basketball, which is fitting, but the Billikens have been that sort of team. It took a monstrous surge last season in the Atlantic 10 – 15 wins in 16 tries, including the three necessary to earn the league tournament title – for SLU to gain any attention at all.
Evans has reached double-figures in every game this season, but the attack is balanced so he doesn't get a ton of shots so his numbers aren't extraordinary. And he plays in a league that already wasn't getting a ton of attention before its recent power, Xavier, decided to move to the Big East. He is respected inside the A-10, however. He was all-conference first-team last season, and picked to repeat this time.
Evans is a 6-6 player who specializes in scoring in the post, which makes him part of a very small club in college hoops. Asked last season by USA Today what one rule he would change, he said he would erase the 3-second rule "so I could just post for as long as I want." Impossible not to love that.
9 Gary Bell, Gonzaga
It's kind of like this. Kevin Pangos has the ball most of the time for Gonzaga. He makes a whole lot of shots. So it's hard to argue when he is shooting a dozen times a game. So even now, busier as a scorer than he's ever been, Bell gets 25 percent fewer attempts than his backcourt partner.
Bell is by far the lesser known of this long-running duo. But he is a career 44.4 percent shooter from 3-point range, is in his third season as a starter for the Zags and almost inevitably is called upon to defend the opposing team's best perimeter threat.
He has become significantly more productive as a junior, in part because he has been on an incredible 3-point tear: 15-of-25 after four games, not once hitting fewer than half his attempts. With the Zags in the Maui Invitational as Thanksgiving approaches, it might be wise to feed this guy.
10 Jahii Carson, Arizona State
Carson waited a full year for his chance to play for the Sun Devils. Not many top talents are so patient. It was worth the wait for us, certainly, but we're not the ones who had to stay away from playing the game for so long.
He was terrific as a freshman, but the new defensive rules against handchecking have turned him into a nightmare for opposing defenses. Carson is one of the most dynamic ballhandlers in college basketball, and his attacks on the rim against UNLV resulted in a 40-point night and a Sun Devils road win.
Carson also worked to improve his 3-point shooting. Back away from him to contain the drive and you're just as likely to pay as he drops a long-distance jumper on you. And though Carson taking the ball to the rack is as reliable a play as any, he also still is averaging better than 5 assists. It's not all about him.
11 Elfrid Payton, UL Lafayette
One of the great byproducts of the United States' victory at the FIBA U19 World Championships this past summer was the opportunity for even those who follow the game closely to be introduced to Payton.
Florida coach Billy Donovan, in charge of the U19s, didn't know much of Payton when Cajuns coach Bob Marlin called to recommend his star. But Donovan knew Marlin, and took him at his word. And that trust paid off: Payton was the U.S.' top perimeter defender in Prague.
Back in Lafayette, Payton is increasing his dominance as the Cajuns' star guard. He still doesn't shoot well, but he's such a terrific athlete that such high level teams as Baylor (20 points) and Arkansas (27) couldn't contain his penetration. He's a bit of a high-risk/high-reward player – the turnover totals will have to come down – but he gives ULL a shot at moving forward after several seasons of rebuilding.

Plate No.95 (Aquilegia chrysantha)
Photogravure (Plate: 9 1/2 x 12 1/4 inches Image: 7 1/2 x 10 1/4 inches)
This is one of the many outstanding images from the original 1928 1st edition of "URFORMEN DER KUNST," which consists of 120 images printed on one side of a page. They are characterized by beautiful tonalities, great detail and excellent printing on medium weight paper. These gravures are being sold individually from a broken edition and are suitable for framing.
Karl Blossfeldt (1865 - 1932)
In 1899 Blossfeldt became a permanent instructor at the Kunstgewerbeschule, where he taught "Modeling from Plants" for 31 years using the photographs he took in Italy or actual plant life. Blossfeldt continued to photograph plant forms throughout his teaching career. In 1925 his work was represented by gallerist Karl Nierendorf and in 1928 a publication of his plant photographs, the first edition of "Urformen der Kunst" (Archetypes of Art) was published. This publication was so successful, a second edition was published within a year.
Shortly before his death, another book was published under the title, "Wundergarten der Natur." Karl Blossfeldt died on December 3, 1932 in Berlin.
These photographs represent a new style of photography that abandoned the pictorial, painterly style of the time. The soft-focus style was replaced with sharp focus, using direct lighting. This approach was part of a new movement in art, the "neusachlichen" (New Objectivity) in Germany. Key photographers of this movement were August Sander, Albert Renger-Patzsch and Karl Blossfeldt whose common goal was to use the camera to its full advantage, documenting people and objects in the most authentic manner. This enabled the viewer to compare, analyze, and discuss variations, similarities, of form, texture, structure, and other characteristics of humans, architecture, and nature. These "typologies" are precursors of work by contemporary artists such as Thomas Ruff, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Günther Förg, Bernhard Prinz, and Thomas Struth.

A way out, a hand up, a clean sweep
Special Issue | Three charities from last year return as Samaritan Award Finalists
Strippers and prostitutes. Some 300-500 women work in Memphis strip clubs every day, according to George Kuykendall, director of Citizens for Community Values-and about as many walk at night on the city's notorious "Ho Track." The Memphis phone book lists 104 escort services.
CCV staff members and more than 100 volunteers partner with area churches to help women escape the sex industry. This year CCV's victim-assistance program, fittingly named A Way Out, has helped 31 strippers and prostitutes change their lives. Although she receives many calls for help, program director Carol Wiley said not everyone is willing to let go of the lifestyle: "We're very conscientious about making sure we get the women who really want help. The women have to be in a place where they're broken enough to want to make some changes."
Hope Stansell experienced both sides of the sex industry-topless dancing and prostitution. She started stripping when she was only 17, after a friend talked her into it: "I started dancing for one of the more prominent clubs here in Memphis. I had to use a fake I.D. to get in there." She also drank heavily and used drugs as a way to escape from a troubled home with a single mom. When Stansell turned 20, she gave birth to a girl-"By the grace of God, she was born 100 percent healthy."
Stansell's drug dependency landed her in prison a year later. She got out and started dating a man she thought truly cared for her: "He bought me anything I wanted," including drugs while she was still in rehab. After rehab, Stansell's "boyfriend" started to show his true colors: "He started beating me and made me do things I really didn't want to do. That's when I realized he was no longer my boyfriend. He was my pimp."
Stansell eventually turned in her pimp to the police. She went back to treatment and met Carol Wiley, who gave Stansell and her daughter Hayle, 4, a place to stay while they participated in A Way Out. (Wiley said finding housing has always been difficult for CCV. A California couple that read about CCV in WORLD helped relieve that difficulty last year by contributing $70,000 toward the purchase of a house for the women in A Way Out.)
Volunteers provided Stansell and Hayle with food, shelter, and clothing. A Way Out offered her classes on subjects like parenting and budgeting. Her mentor also introduced her to the love of Christ. Stansell said her favorite part of A Way Out was "getting to know the Lord and having a relationship with Him." Wiley said: "I have a firm belief that apart from Christ coming into their life, they're not going to make a permanent life change."
Hope is now one-third of the way through cosmetology school. She and Hayle are getting ready to transition out of the in-house treatment center they've been living in for the past year. They will be moving into their very own home, for the first time.
The Knoxville, Tenn., branch of the Christian Women's Job Corps is another return finalist. Last year, WORLD told the stories of two participants in the nonprofit's program, A Hand Up for Women, whose lives changed. This year we'll tell another story, that of Angie Booker, who lives in a small, white house with green shutters in East Knoxville.
Two years ago, Booker lived in a housing project, used drugs, and spent a lot of time in a Knoxville courthouse: "My mother had my kids and my husband had left me. I shoplifted and wrote false checks to feed my drug habit. My life was in turmoil." Her case went to the local Drug Court, an alternative to prison for nonviolent offenders. A case manager there, who served on the board of directors for the Christian Women's Job Corps, noticed her and recommended she go to A Hand Up for Women. Though hesitant at first, Booker met Jani McCarter, an A Hand Up participant profiled by WORLD last year, and "Jani showed me so much love, it changed my whole personality. She taught me God loved me and I could do better-and He wanted me to do better." Booker met with McCarter and other women in a twice-weekly, three-hour evening Bible study. Each week she took drug tests, went to Drug Court, and reported to the probation office. A mentor helped her through every step of the A Hand Up program.
Booker dreamed of opening her own catering business, since cooking had always been her favorite activity. She took A Hand Up's classes on budgeting, resumé writing, public speaking, and interviewing. A volunteer taught her how to get a business license and liability insurance. She said everyone in the program encouraged her to pursue her dream: "After you've had a drug problem for so long, you feel like you can't do anything."
Now Booker owns and operates Angelouise Confection and Catering, while holding down another job two days a week making hot sandwiches at the local Panera Bread. Besides owning her own home, she has also worked and paid for her first vehicle. She said she owes it all to God and the help she received from A Hand Up for Women: "It's a program that will help you get your life back on track and make you the best woman God wants you to be."
One more return finalist is at home not on mean streets but among dense forests, gentle streams, and Great Lakes: Michigan's Upper Peninsula is an ideal location for a project like the Earth Keeper Initiative. The purpose of the Marquette-based program is to teach people to care for the environment. It also exposes them to a wide range of religious beliefs.
Under the auspices of the Cedar Tree Institute, the initiative includes 144 congregations from nine religious groups-Catholic, Episcopalian, United Methodist, Evangelical Lutheran, Presbyterian Church USA, as well as Reform Judaism, Zen Buddhist, Baha'i, and Unitarian Universalist. This year's big event was the Pharmaceutical Clean Sweep for Earth Day, April 22. Earth Keeper volunteers teamed up with the Superior Watershed Partnership, a neighboring nonprofit, to coordinate and carry out the event.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which partly funds the Earth Keeper Initiative, notes that traces of pharmaceuticals can end up in rivers, lakes, and even drinking water if they are just flushed or drained away. Earth Keeper gave people an alternative way to dispose of these drugs, some of which are controlled substances. More than 400 volunteers established collection sites at 19 area churches, where pharmacists and police officers were on hand to gather the pharmaceuticals.
Nearly 2,000 residents dropped off their unwanted painkillers, sleeping pills, syringes, and antibiotics, as well as personal care items like shampoo and lotions. One woman brought antique bottles of medicine, some more than 100 years old, from her father's old pharmacy. Volunteers collected just over a ton of pharmaceuticals, and staffers took them to an EPA-licensed incinerator outside St. Louis, Missouri.

About us
The Priority Research Centre for Bioinformatics, Biomarker Discovery and Information-Based Medicine (CIBM) is committed to shortening the process of obtaining novel discoveries to achieve distinctively better outcomes in clinical practice and translational individualised medicine.
Established in 2006, CIBM is a central interdisciplinary hub of the university and many of its researchers are part of the Hunter Medical Research Institute's Information-Based Medicine Program.
CIBM collaborates and obtains funding from several types of partnerships. It has attracted contract research from the National Institute of Health (USA), as well as from the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council and other funding bodies such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It has also attracted significant philanthropic corporate and private funding over the last years.
What is Bioinformatics?
CIBM researchers master advanced and powerful computer technologies which allow them to extract meaningful information from large-scale datasets.
The core aim of CIBM is to change worldwide practices via new methods for smart information use.
Bioinformatics is a new interdisciplinary scientific field that combines Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and the Life Sciences to become the "first defence" against the deluge of data in the 21st century. The novel methodologies are also being applied to other big data-driven projects in other areas of research and development.
Biomarkers and creation of novel diagnostic tests
Of the many health challenges of this century, none are more pressing than the field of finding biological markers (biomarkers) that could lead to the introduction of reliable early detection tests (for instance in cancer and neurodegeneration).
Mathematical and computational expertise is put to the limit as the number of possible markers that are measured with current technologies can easily surpass the figure of one million for a single individual sample. At CIBM the researchers employ new statistical methods to investigate each marker individually. In addition, they are world-experts in the area of combinatorial optimisation, the field of Applied Mathematics that deals with finding the best solutions when you have a finite but hugely large set of possibilities. Their unique knowledge allows them to discover panels of biomarkers which, when used together, lead to the development of tests that show higher accuracies than those of existing ones.
Personalised information-based medicine
CIBM's focus is on personalised medicine, which aims to individualise patient treatment by maximising the benefits and minimising the adverse side effects.
In a few years time, all known genetic risk factors for diseases could be routinely determined at birth. Using large-scale molecular interrogation methods, powered by advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, CIBM's work aims at identifying particular disease subtypes. This knowledge benefits patients as it would allow the guidance towards the best available treatment for each individual patient.
Outcomes of patient-tailored treatments will enable the development of new diagnostic approaches and drug designs that specifically target aberrant molecular pathways present in diseased cells with minimal interference on healthy ones. This is the promise of personalised information-based medicine.

But there are those few that have weathered the test of time and continue to be the basis for films that are still coming out to this day.
And it's also interesting to note that the movies on this list were all made before I was born.
Few horror movies that were made during my time on this earth have left such a lasting impression on me, and perhaps it was because I was so young when I finally watched the films that the fear was imprinted on my psyche.
The Evil Dead (1981)
dir. Sam Raimi
"The Evil Dead" is still considered a cult classic in most circles.
But its low-budget style and creativity that have showered the film with countless fans across the globe and spawned two sequels, dozens of special editions on VHS, DVD, LaserDisc and Blu-Ray and a remake coming in 2013.
The film features a group of teenagers who decide to spend a weekend in an old abandoned cabin in the woods.
Once there, they discover an old tape recorder of someone trying to decipher the Necronomicon, aka the Book of the Dead.
Playing the recording inadvertently releases the Evil Dead, and the teens haven't got a prayer.
Bruce Campbell bucks up and has to kill his possessed posse, including his girlfriend, with an ax, chain saw and gun among other things.
The cheap makeup fx actually add a lot of horror and disgust, while Raimi's furious pace and inventive use of the camera and shots are still mimicked to this day.
It's gory, terrifying and well acted by a bunch of first-time actors that just wanted to make a horror film but, instead, created a low budget, cinematic masterpiece.
But it's not for the weak of heart.
Raimi went on to direct the original Spider-Man trilogy, and Campbell went on to star in numerous movies and television shows.
The Exorcist (1973)
dir. William Friedkin
Often touted as one of the best horror movies ever made.
And with good reason, too.
Many people I know still can't watch this film in its entirety, much less alone.
The film stars Linda Blair as Regan, a little girl who gets possessed by a demon and goes all kinds of crazy.
Regan's mother, played by Ellen Burstyn, slowly begins to lose her mind and, after countless medical tests done to her daughter, decides the only way to fix her is to have an exorcism performed on her.
She enlists the help of Father Damian Karras, who's beginning to lose his faith in God and struggling with his existence.
The movie is more than a horror film. It's a drama that deals with faith, love and the lengths we go to protect our children.
It's shocking and disturbing at times, as most people have at least seen the head spinning gag or the green puke shooting from Regan's mouth onto the priests.
The film was nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress for Linda Blair, winning only Sound Editing and Screenplay awards.
It was a time when a film was a film, no matter what the subject matter was.
The production got a grade A director and stars along with a great composer and crew who, not only wanted to make a great horror film, but just make a great movie.
With the too-numerous-to-count "Exorcist" movies that have followed in its wake, including two sequels and a spoof featuring Linda Blair herself, it's clear that this film struck a chord and still terrifies its audiences to this day.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
dir. Tobe Hooper
We live in Texas. That was scary enough for me as a child.
The very sound of a chain saw, to this day, still sends chills down my spine.
I don't think I know a single person that hasn't seen this movie.
And most still believe it's based on a true story.
It's not. It's loosely based on true events. The serial murders of Ed Gein. But that's another story.
What we have here is another low-budget, independent feature done with little to no money that is scary and creepy as anything ever filmed before or since.
Once again, we have a group of teens, but, instead of heading into the woods, they're heading to a small Texas town to visit one of their grandfather's grave site. But find out the cemetery is surrounded by cops who are investing grave robberies.
They then head to their family home, and the horror begins.
I think that most people are afraid of this movie because of the scrolling text before the film that states it's based on reality.
This meta-fiction take on a horror film has since been used over and over again. But never to this effect.
It's the sweaty, dirty, loose camera style that Hooper used in this film that makes it seem more of a documentary than a horror film.
The audience is sitting in the van with the teens.
Hanging on the meat hook with the girl.
Bashed in the head with a giant hammer.
Chased through the woods by a chain saw-wielding, human face-wearing madman.
With an unknown cast of misfits thrown in for good measure, the movie feels dirty, and you can almost smell the disgusting odors that most likely fill the killer's farmhouse.
The costume designs are dingy, grimy and great.
The set design is one of a kind. Human skeleton chair, chickens in bird cages and random bones laying around. It truly is a house for sickos.
The film spawned three sequels, a remake, a prequel to the remake and another 3D sequel, supposedly to the original, coming in 2013.
Though very little blood is actually seen in the film (watch it again if you don't believe me), it's still one the most terrifying films in history.
And the chain saw dance at the end is unbeatable.

Nice reference.
I love the engraved snake in the lower right room.
So is the story then that the cult made the engraving after they took over the temple? If so, do they attach particular significance to that room?
It's a abandoned temple on a desert island. Surrounded by thick jungles and taken over by a vile serpent cult. It is a promise of untold riches and even greater danger. But, more than that, it is adventure, whispering in the hears of every would be adventurers!
I started working on a project for NathanC and here is the top floor so far...
The original plan is Nathan's and, while there is not too many of them yet, the furniture (and in particular the really cool "Snake pool") come from Dundjinni...
As usual, I would appreciate any advice and recommendation and, in particular, I'd like to hear Nathan's opinion about whereas the project is going in the direction he wants...

* Shrug*
It is one of the priest's private quarters...
I am working on somebody else's plan so, I don't necessarily have the full background story for this place, but I had initially put the engraving at the bottom of the main room. Then I found the snake pool (the original plan calls for w pool there) and decided it was just to perfect a fit to pass on... I can imagine players jumping on the snake from the nearby balcony and sliding their way down swashbuckler style...
But I liked the engraving too and wanted to use it...
Basically, at this point, I throw everything cool at the wall and see what sticks/ what the coauthor thinks is worth keeping.

Coming along nicely, think the huge snake statue/fountain is a great touch and believe me my players will be jumping all over that and thanking you for it..
Let me give you some background on the Temple:
The Yuan-ti as a whole has not been seen in the world since 800AD (game time it's about 1900 years after this temple was built) . The Serpents, built temples to a demon serpent known as Slas. The temple you are creating is the first and most holiest temple the Yuan-ti build to Slas, it was here that the Yuan-ti first made contact with their god, and began to wage war against the other creatures of the world.
The first Floor:
This floor of temple is the living quarters. The two roundish side rooms was shared by 2 serpent priests each. the room directly behind the balcony is the high priest's room. The hexagon shaped room is a place to take meals. the small chamber off the the left of the balcony is a room containing many holy objects used in the worship of Slas. The upper most room is a hidden room, that contains various trinkets that the high priest keep for himself from raids and sacrifices. The Balcony is where many sacrifices too place, there is an altar there covered in dried blood.
The 2nd floor:
This is not on the map yet but it contains an armory, slave pens (where a human has dug his way out of), a library, a laboratory, and an breeding pit. There is a secret entrance to a room one floor down that contains a portal to another temple.
In the 61st year of the third age of the world, and wizard by the name Kelack discovered the temple with a group of adventurers, he an many others studied what they found, specifically scrolls referencing Slas and the sacrifices and experiments they did in the gods name. After a member of his research team was attacked, and nearly killed, Kelack sealed the temple, to keep others (and his new found knowledge) safe. The temple was never searched fully, as the breeding pits were never discovered. In these pits thousands of Yuan-ti eggs lay waiting to hatch.
Ok... The next floor was a bit tougher. Partly because the scan was not as good (the vertical squares were not really visible and I had to guess a bit); partly because the building was more complex in shape and a bit confusing at time. So, I took a few liberties and it is not as faithful a rendition.
What do you think of it Nathan? I will probably need to rework the dirt texture in the tunnel, and I still need to add the stairs and work on the secret passage.
Also, what kind of furniture do you want? I vote for simple and kinda minimal to suggest function, in order not to cluter the map too much...
Anyway, here is the map:
Looking good, is there a way the walls in the room north east from the snake fountain, could look a little thicker, of not it's cool.
As far as furniture, I agree, just enough so you can know which room is which. I found some decent lab table here on the dundjinni forum
the left hand section of the lower right room should be a caged area on big cell basically that opens along the creates a wall. so like a pile of straw in that ares, where prisoners can. maybe with a table for the guards adjacent from the cell door.
The library (the upper most large room) could have a few broken bookcases, and at least one that's still standing. it's going to be an encounter room so some good cover for a bow would be an alright touch.
the armory (room with the thin walls) could have a few weapon racks thrown up against the walls, mostly empty, I have a bow that the party is going to find in there so maybe a table on the southern most wall i'll pop the bow icon on that in D20pro so they can pick it up.
It's looking really good Simon thank you for doing this.
Yes, I love Dundjinni myself and already have a fair amount of stuff from there on my hard drive.
I have a couple of broken bookselves from this and this thread.
Dundjinni also have a fair amount of bookpiles that I could place there.
I also have a this fence that I think will work fine to define the slave pen:
And here is what I found for the straw.
Finally, thickening walls should be half a minute job. No problem, but I am not quite sure what room you are talking about. Are you talking about the alcove just left from the armory?
Cool! I had found the thread with the snake on the right, but I don't remember the golden one being there... It actually looks even better and statue-like.
And the skeleton... the skeleton... is awesome beyond words!
Thanks a lot!

If you mean the "Shoutcast Movie" button which was carrying "Old Fashioned TV" the stream seems to have closed down. Indications are that the man who was running this and some other streams may have passed away.

I am actually talking now about the earlier version of slacko, 126.96.36.199 in this case since I could not get past the black screen in 5.3.3 and at one time, I saw a message saying it could not find the screen when trying to run a program using the menu.
But in 22.214.171.124, even the kids sites failed to work.

To make it easier :
- open /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d in texteditor
defaulttexteditor /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
- search "let the dust settle after X has started."
grep -n 'let the dust settle after X has started' /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
will give you the line number
56:sleep 1 #let the dust settle after X has started. 120718 reduce 2 to 1.
- increase sleep value.
- save, reboot and hope your problem is solved
The solution I have linked to is in woof now, it depends on speed of cpu.

Post subject: slacko 5.3.3/adobe flash-player problem ("solved" case here)
Subject description: Video freezing caused by some conflict between alsa and flash
I am hoping that the following might provide the solution to many of the adobe flash problems people experience. Provides a solution on my system anyway so thought I'd document it here.
I haven't been able to use Puppy for a while but was missing it... So:
1. I made frugal installs of both Wary 5.3 and Slacko 5.3.3 onto my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop (I've provided details of that system at the end of this post).
2. In each case, I immediately rebooted and saved to create an ext2 pupsave of size 512MB.
3. On rebooting Slacko 5.3.3 I installed adobe flash-player-18.104.22.168.pet from slickpet > Flash-player -Older versions.
4. I immediately thereafter started the slacko included default Internet browser (Seamonkey 2.9.1) and visited youtube.com and tried running a video. Each time I tried running flash videos on Youtube they froze after a dozen or two dozen seconds but Seamonkey was otherwise still working.
5. I then uninstalled the above version of flash and tried various others, and also Chromium browser, but all with same freezing results...
[Note that one workaround, which did work, was to uninstall all flash-player plugins and use Google Chrome (not Chromium), since Chrome has its own flash-player built into it. I used google_chrome-19.0.1084.52-slacko.pet but I can't remember where on the forum I found that. Another version of Chrome is linked to at
However, I preferred to only have Seamonkey on my system so kept looking for a solution]
6. Then I somehow "intuitively" stumbled across the fact that running alsaconf (re-selecting the sound card), just prior to starting Seamonkey, fixed the problem... Suggests to me some kind of conflict between alsa and flash-player plugin (which restarting alsa with alsaconf/alsawizard resolved).
7. On rebooting the system again, sound was working fine, but the video freezing problem was back again... I suspect that the problem lies within the script /etc/init.d/10alsa but I didn't have time to work on that and for now am just using a simple workaround. However, it would be great if one of the devs familiar with that script could identify and fix the problem.
8. The workaround I'm using is to stop and restart alsa (and restart retrovol since it dies). At the command line that can be done as follows:
/etc/init.d/10alsa stop
/etc/init.d/10alsa start
retrovol -hide &
9. To make the above happen at every boot I simply modified the script /root/Startup/retrovol_tray to become:
/etc/init.d/10alsa stop
/etc/init.d/10alsa start
retrovol -hide &
10. That's all that was needed. Adobe flash video now seems to work fine for me on this system with default Internet browser Seamonkey 2.9.1 on Slacko 5.3.3. So before you suspect your flash plugin, I suggest you check the problem isn't actually a conflict caused by alsa sound modules...
NOTE: I ran lsmod before and after the above workaround. In the before (video freezing) case, I discovered the modules snd_intel8x0 and snd_intel8x0m were among the loaded sound modules. After stopping and starting 10alsa, there snd_intel8x0 was still there but snd_intel8x0m was gone. Perhaps that will be a major clue to someone familiar with alsa and the 10alsa script as to what caused the apparent flash/alsa conflict in this case. I hope so!

I was so tired hunting down the fact that alsa was behind the flash video freeze problem that I never thought of that easy work around. Having identified the loaded sound module that was causing flash videos to freeze in Seamonkey (or other browsers using it) blacklisting the module does indeed seem to be sufficient to work round the problem. (The Bootmanager configure bootup utility can be used to add the module blacklist instruction line I required to the file /etc/init.d/blacklist.conf: blacklist snd_intel8x0m)
Of course, my main point is that alsa may be behind many of the problems people are having with flash-video freezes. The problem didn't occur for me in Wary 5.3 (I just needed to run alsaconf once and all was fine after that). Basically, I'm trying to point other people to this possible solution. Identifying the errant module may not be so easy for everyone, but stopping and restarting 10alsa is relatively straightforward. It would be even better if someone could identify why and if the version of 10alsa in slacko has something in it causing the problem. I note that it is an expanded version of the 10alsa used by Barry in Wary 5.3, so I'm wondering if one of the additions is causing a side-effect.
Anyway, all is fine for me, and thanks for the blacklist idea, smokey01, which is a much neater workaround for my more specific situation since I had already identified the errant module itself.

Post subject: Sloped Forehead
My forehead has begun to take on a hand-induced slope...which I attribute to the X-Chat in Slacko. there is no sound application specified in X-Chat...and to be honest, I haven't been able to figure out which of the installed sound apps to call and how to call it.
So now that I have admitted wearing a dunce cap, I'd appreciate some help, as none of my other hats fit anymore because of the forehead slope.
