- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, or butt
- 1 1/2 cups prepared tomatillo salsa, (see Ingredient Note)
- 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, or ground cumin
- 3 plum tomatoes, (1/2 pound), thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- Trim and discard pork surface fat. Cut meat apart following layers of fat around muscles; trim and discard fat. Cut into 2-inch chunks and rinse with cold water. Place in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Turn heat to high.
- Combine salsa, broth, onion and cumin seeds in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour over the meat. Add tomatoes and mix gently. Put the lid on and cook until the meat is pull-apart tender, 6 to 7 hours.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a large bowl; cover and keep warm. Pour the sauce and vegetables into a large skillet; skim fat. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, skimming froth from time to time, for about 20 minutes, to intensify flavors and thicken slightly. Add the pork and 1/4 cup cilantro; heat through.
- To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Oven method: Total: 3 hours Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine pork, salsa, 1/2 cup chicken broth, onion, cumin seeds and tomatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; cover snugly with foil. Bake until the pork is pull-apart tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Skim fat. Uncover and bake until the meat begins to brown, about 15 minutes more. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Ladle into bowls, garnish with sour cream and remaining cilantro.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop, in a microwave or in the oven.
- Ingredient Note: Tomatillo salsa (sometimes labeled salsa verde or green salsa) is a blend of green chiles, onions and tomatillos. It is sold in supermarkets.
- For easy cleanup, try a slow-cooker liner. These heat-resistant, disposable liners fit neatly inside the insert and help prevent food from sticking to the bottom and sides of your slow cooker.

In this lively narrative, award-winning author Michael Kammen presents a fascinating analysis of cutting-edge art and artists and their unique ability to both delight and provoke us. He illuminates America's obsession with public memorials and the changing role of art and museums in our society. From Thomas Eakins's 1875 masterpiece "The Gross Clinic," (considered "too big, bold, and gory" when first exhibited) to the bitter disputes about Maya Lin's Vietnam War Memorial, this is an eye-opening account of American art and the battles and controversies that it has ignited.

Operative approach:
Donor Positioning: Maintain the same position that was used for the sciatic nerve block.
Before attempting this procedure explore every detail of the web exercise "Gluteal Region" under the "Exercises" resource.
Incision: Make a curved incision that begins at the posterior superior spine. It should arc superiorly to your spine-to-trochanter line drawn for the sciatic nerve block. The incision should continue through a point that is two finger-breadths medial to the greater trochanter and down the shaft of the femur to the crease between the gluteal region and the thigh.
1. Deepen the incision to the level of the deep fascia and use retractors to expose as much of the underlying muscles as possible.
2. Incise the fascia lata on the lateral aspect of the thigh to reveal the vastus lateralis. Lengthen the fascial incision superiorly in line with the original skin incision. Split the fibers of the gluteus maximus by blunt dissection (see figure below and note that the artist has switched sides of the body). Some students find themselves superiolateral to the gluteus maximus and miss the hip as a result. Consult an atlas to be sure you have identified the gluteus maximus and be sure you are splitting fibers (not cutting across them).
Which arteries supply the gluteus maximus?
Where do they originate, and how do they get to the gluteus maximus?
Retract the fibers of the split gluteus maximus and the deep fascia of the thigh. Under this you will find the tip of the greater trochanter, where a number of muscles attach.
You already encountered the gluteus maximus and minimus during the last procedure. Unlike those muscles, the remaining 4 muscles are lateral (external) rotators. Two of these are worth remembering: the piriformis and the tendon of the obturator internus. You will explore these muscles in a moment.
3. To widen your view, do the following non-surgical procedure: Gently sweep your hand under the lateral border of the gluteus maximus to free it from the underlying muscles. If helpful, you may make a relaxing incision along the iliac crest to widen your exposure. Place a blunt probe under the superior portion of the gluteus maximus and against the iliac crest. Using the probe as a shield to protect underlying structures, use sharp dissection to divide the muscle from the iliac crest for 3-5 cm. Similarly, place the probe under the inferior portion of the gluteus maximus against the sacrum to make a relaxing incision along the sacrum to widen your exposure. Detach the muscle for 3-5 cm being careful not to cut any underlying tendons, nerves or vessels. Gently reflect the gluteus maximus and observe how you are restricted by the superior and inferior gluteal neurovascular bundle. Note that with your surgical incision, the fibers of the gluteus maximus are split superiolateral to the neurovascular bundles that you observe.
(This is also why intramuscular injections are made in the superiolateral quadrant of the gluteal region.) Since this would be a muscle splitting procedure, there is minimal damage to the fibers of the gluteus maximus or the terminal branches of nerves that are running parallel to these fibers.
4. The sciatic nerve, encased in fat, exits the greater sciatic foramen deep to the piriformis muscle. Confirm that the piriformis muscle also passes through the greater sciatic foramen. As the nerve travels inferiorly, it lies superficial to the 3 inferior most muscles that attach to the greater trochanter. Try and palpate the nerve as it emerges from under the piriformis and travels inferiorly. In a surgical procedure, we would not dissect the fat around the nerve as it may cause unnecessary bleeding, but for this lab you should clean the fat around the nerve.
5. Let's do a brief digression to understand what we are looking at. Rotate the hip to confirm the action of the external (lateral) rotators.
Should the tension on the muscles increase or slacken when you laterally rotate the hip?
Clean these muscles to confirm that the piriformis enters the greater sciatic foramen, but the tendon of the obturator internus enters the lesser foramen.
Which two ligaments form the borders of the lesser sciatic foramen?
Which one separates the greater from the lesser sciatic foramen?
6. Find the pudendal vessels and nerve hooking over the sacrospinous ligament by extending your dissection medially (surgeons would not want to go this far medial!).
7. Now, return to the surgical procedure. Internally (medially) rotate the hip to move the insertion of the small external rotators as far away as possible from the sciatic nerve. Detach the muscles (including the piriformis muscle) close to their femoral insertion and reflect them back onto the sciatic nerve. These external rotators are used to protect the sciatic nerve during the rest of the surgery.
8. After cleaning and retracting the gluteus minimus anteriorly, you should now be able to see the posterior aspect of the hip joint capsule. You can cut it open with a longitudinal or T-shaped cut. You can dislocate the hip now by internally rotating the hip. If you need to see more of the hip, you can cut the quadratus femoris and the tendinous insertion of the gluteus maximus. Congratulations, you have now reached the posterior aspect of the hip!!
9. So let's recap the functional deep anatomy of the posterior hip. Sketch out a posterior view of the pelvis and proximal femur and sketch in the following structures:
a. Sacrotuberous ligament
b. Sacrospinous ligament
c. Piriformis
d. Sciatic Nerve
e. Superior and Inferior Gluteal Nerves
f. Pudendal Nerve
g. Superior and Inferior Gluteal Arteries

Bear, Kot, and Vin Any thoughts on today's wild price action? Did any of you have a chance to look at today's presentations?
Since Osulinn has resurfaced we must be in good shape--we will go up.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
John, 2 weeks ago ONXX also went down to 87 and came back. I did not buy more (I've 20.4k shares already), but I've sold some 85 & 80 puts and hope to keep the premium...And, yes, a lot of bio went down today (besides my little gem CLDX), so, the bottom line: this was not ONXX fundamentals related, and we'll get to 110 (my short term target) sooner or later!
According to shortanalytics, this was being heavily shorted Friday, whether in anticipation of weak results in the Nexavar thyroid cancer trail or hoping to #$%$ those who bought in anticipation of a pop, I don't know. In any event, the shortsellers had deep pockets since they pounded this hard all day. I bought more shares at an average price of 89.60 and sold them back to them at just under 93. (You have to try and punish these guys if you can.) Obviously, all of the biopharms got attacked today - even CELG and GILD were sharply lower. I noted an inaccurate story which attributed ONXX's weakness to the fact that the Nexavar trial didn't show a benefit in OS. Actually, my understanding was that the trial hadn't run long enough to establish OS. It seems to me (without being a statistics maven) that the trial indicates that Nexavar works really well for some patients, and since these folks have few alternatives, I would expect it to be approved for this indication. If they attack this again tomorrow, I will buy more.
I believe the story was accurate - WSJ and a number of other sources noted that overall survival was not improved, but it did nearly double the length of progression-free survival. Overall I believe the news is net positive, especially since this may be the first new therapy approved in 40 years.
As you noted, it looks like a coordinated attack of BioPharm. They all reset zero at start of Quarter...IMO. It what happened is not illegal, it should be as it was obviously not based on news.
PS The word in my text which Yahoo! expurgated was "sp--k" (meaning either "ghost" or, in this case, "scare"). I don't know how all those people on the Ford board manage to post racist garbage with Yahoo!'s silly vigilance.

Make-up brand Illamasqua says high Australian prices 'unjustified'
- From: news.com.au
- August 15, 2012
AN international cosmetic brand says the inflated prices Australian consumers pay for make-up are not justified.
UK brand Illamasqua, who themselves charge Australian consumers up to 70 per cent more for the same product, says the justification used for charging higher prices is inconsistent.
The brand, which retails through Myer in Australia, has launched a campaign to "fight" for a fair price for Australian customers.
But consumer group Choice says the campaign is a cleverly disguised marketing exercise and is aimed at data mining consumers.
Do you think Australian cosmetic prices are unfair? Tell us in the comments section below.
Illamasqua says they will drop their prices to match those charged in the UK if they get 20,000 signatures from consumers, but those who sign must commit to buying the brand's products.
The petition has received 10,000 signatures in 10 days.
A spokeswoman for the company said that it is not a data mining exercise and that consumers can opt out of future emails.
Around 70 per cent of the cosmetics and toiletries sold in Australia are imported and retailers point to taxes and import duties, transport costs, higher wages and more expensive rent to explain the price difference.
Illamasqua Founder Julian Kynaston said: "In our investigations, none of these, or even a combination of all of these, account for such a huge price variance.
"Which leaves us to conclude the reason brands are more expensive in Australia is that most have always done so, so others follow suit."
Mr Kynaston said that when Illamasqua entered the Australian market two years ago they looked at what was "normal" for the brand's closest competitors in the market and priced their products in the same range.
"At the volumes we currently sell we would make considerable losses if we just dropped our prices," he said.
Choice spokesperson Ingrid Just said the campaign was smart marketing and was tapping into consumer sentiment.
"If they were absolutely genuine then they would just reduce their prices," Ms Just said.
Ms Just said by signing the petition consumers could be giving Illamasqua their contact details, which is rich information the company can use to email future marketing.
IBISWorld analyst Craig Shulman said that the advent of online retailing did not drive cosmetic prices down as was expected.
"There does appear to be phenomenon that people are still paying these prices, and as much as people complain in the end the dollars are forked over for these products," Mr Shulman said.
Large international cosmetic retailers such as Sephora have an online store but do not ship to Australia.
Leading brands such as MAC have a separate Australian website that charges customers higher prices than in the US. The US website does not offer international shipping.
Overseas sites such as Rock the Catwalk and All Cosmetics Wholesale offer significant discounts and cheap shipping, but stock a limited product range.

I can buy jeans made in Subiaco for $300 in Subiaco, or I can buy them in New York from a boutique for $70. Is it fair we're being ripped off? Absolutely! We have been stupid enough to consume high priced 'services', food and consumer items so let the wholesalers and retailers rip away what they can. I've sourced what I need interstate and internationally for years and saved as a consequence.. And when I share with a retailer or distributor a source where they can obtain merchandise cheaper than they pay wholesale here are they appreciative and get of their butts to take advantage of it? No.. they get defensive.. When a retailer buys for $42 from an aussie wholesaler and a customer gives them contact details to obtain the same item in the US for $2.90 you'd expect they'd be greatful - but no, we are lazy and stupid and will continue to pay for that luxury.

Its not just makeup either, I buy my shampoo and conditioner online from the UK. I pay $50 including postage for TIGI 750ml shampoo AND conditioner. The same shampoo and conditioner here are $40 EACH for 200ml. Its ridiculous. I don't particularly want to buy it from overseas, but I just can't afford to buy it here. Same goes for lots of things though, shoes, clothes, jewellery, perfume. I couldn't believe it the first time I went to the USA and saw how little things cost over there. Even when you add on sales tax we are paying about 4 times as much in some cases. You can't help but feel totally ripped off when you compare it to the price Australian retailers charge.

Introduction. This study qualitatively explores perceptions of women who have experienced abortion care. It explores women's journey through abortion from confirmation of pregnancy to post-abortion.
Aim. The study seeks to understand the implications of these perceptions for policy and practice.
Main Outcome Measures. A qualitative study involving in-depth semi-structured interviews with 17 women, aged between 22 and 57 years, who had undergone legal induced abortion in the UK when they were 16 years or older. Participants were not recruited under the age of 16 because of the ethical and legal complexities of interviewing minors. Additionally, 16 years was deemed to be the most appropriate age as this is the legal age of consent in the UK.
Methods. Participants were recruited from 12 community contraception and sexual health clinics in two NHS trusts, one in England and one in Wales. Participant recruitment was set at a minimum of 12 and participants were recruited on a "first come first served basis" (i.e., the first 12 who contacted the researcher). The number of participants was raised to seventeen as this was the number deemed to be the most suitable for data saturation in this particular qualitative research.
Results. Women in this study understood abortion as highly taboo and a potentially personally stigmatizing event. These perceptions continued to affect disclosure to others, long after the abortion, and affected women's perceptions of the response of others, including society in general, significant others, and health professionals.
Conclusions. Women's experiences of abortion may be influenced by perceived negative social attitudes. Health professionals and abortion service providers might combat the perceived isolation of women undergoing abortion by attending not only to clinical/technical aspects of the procedure but also to women's psychological/emotional sensitivities surrounding the event.

Corporate influence on health exposed
The average family medical cost this year will exceed $12,200 — up from $8,000 just four years ago — according to the Milliman Medical Index, a corporate consulting firm. To a large extent this reflects the billions of dollars of profits for the medical-industrial complex, but also the production and sale of unhealthy food by the beverage and tobacco industries.

I am not getting blindsided. I called and they have no comment on everythingI am sure they have to have losses as well.SO I am selling until they announce some mortgage losses. Their Earnings will be hit. I will wait to buy again when they make their announcement
This stock varies with such regularity that a patient investor (with guts of iron) could almost make a living solely by trading this stock. Would only need about $75,000, too. Sell at 74, buy at 68, rinse and repeat. Would gross about $7,000 every three weeks or so.Sell the entire portfolio and play with PNC? Hmmm, getting close...Some smart manipulators are making millions just this way, I would surmise.Best,K23
You must be an idiot to own a stock and not understand what they do and have. PNC has NO exposure to sub-prime mortgage problems. They sold their mortgage division and it holdings long ago. They run their mortgages through Wells Fargo now. Sell your stock because I don't think stupid people should own stock.
Hey genius where did you go??????? Please send me a list of your stock picks, so I can short them!74...73....72....71....70....69....68....67....66....65PNC 12/31/06 74.04PNC 12/12/07 69.27 and falling!!!What a great long term investment return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And stupid people like you should never get married. Say, how is your first cousin?
I admire a person who speaks their mind, but be careful... there are those who would think badly of you for being critcal of an idiot.. I'm sure it was not your intent to hurt his feelings. Remember,we must be considerate of the "Piss ass investor"... You know the ones who have the brains and balls of a tit mouse.
You will be waiting a long time. PNC does have a mortgage division but those loans are funded by Wells Fargo. Maybe you should be waiting from WFC to announce losses instead?On the commercial side they have a little exposure but not much.

Over forty years ago Ajax Rescue Tools pioneered the application of air chisels in vehicle extrication. With the professional assistance of several Fire Departments, Ajax designed and produced some of the first rescue tools for use in vehicle extrication, forcible entry, and confined space rescue. Technical changes in vehicles and materials have led to challenges in the techniques and safe approaches that are used in vehicle extrication, and Ajax Rescue Tools has evolved with these changes. Ajax Rescue Tools now offers a line of Rescue Kits and accessories that can be used at any level in the rescue and extrication process.
It has always been the goal of Ajax Rescue Tools to develop the type of products that will offer the rescue technician the best opportunity to have a successful rescue and extrication in any given situation. This is why Ajax Rescue Tools have been recognized as "The Extra Hand in Extrication" for decades. Along with this commitment, you can always count on Ajax Rescue Tools to continue to develop and produce new and innovative products for the Rescue Tool market.

Another week, another bit of Bryce Harper drama. If anyone out there has Harper fatigue, I guess one way to look at it is that you won't have to hear much about him for a couple of weeks at the very least.
But if that's your sentiment, shame on you. For me, it's always going to be better to get to see Harper play. If that invites an element of "what's going to happen to him next?" hyperfocus that has been associated with his career from the outset, so what? Sports has loved and will always love its enfant terribles, generation after generation. Nothing Harper has done puts him on the level of, say, John McEnroe or Deion Sanders, but your mileage may vary.
Consider this my taking common cause with a lot of Nationals fans: I'd rather see Harper's name in the lineup, not just because of what he has done and can do but because of what he might do. That's the other function of rooting for or against a player you watch grow up in the major leagues. No matter how talented they are, most players aren't Dwight Gooden or Mike Trout, almost perfect at the outset.
Admittedly, there's an element of irony that Harper landed on the disabled list for a hustle play, motoring into third base Friday night, just a few days after being benched for not hustling by manager Matt Williams. I'm sure we can start up another long list of complaints about poor fundamentals because he slid headfirst and that's why he's on the DL with an injured thumb. None of this is quite as epic as Mickey Mantle's early-career squabbles with Casey Stengel.
No, dialing back from the entire concept of Harper drama, for the Nationals this is a problem. Even if Harper misses just the two weeks, that's two weeks without three men from the Nats' ideal eight-man lineup available, because this is the latest injury to add to a lineup litany that already includes the losses of Ryan Zimmerman and Wilson Ramos until mid-May. Even with Adam LaRoche and Anthony Rendon off to good starts, even with Jayson Werth getting on base, even with fallen former prospect Danny Espinosa redeeming himself in the playing time created in the infield by Zimmerman's absence, that's a lot to have to go without. They also lost Denard Span for a week after he suffered a concussion. If there's good news, it's that while Doug Fister is on the DL instead of in the rotation, he is ideally due back around the same time as Harper and due to make his first rehab start today.
Meanwhile, for the immediate future, this looks like an opportunity for Nate McLouth to finally start hitting as the Nationals' initial choice to fill Harper's shoes in left, although the measure of Williams' confidence is that he's penciled McLouth into the eighth slot in Sunday's lineup. I wouldn't count on seeing much of Steven Souza, the farmhand called up in Harper's absence. He's a toolsy, slow-developing prospect taken in the third round in 2007 who didn't break out at the plate until 2012 (after going back down to the low-Class A Sally League for a fourth stint), but he put an exclamation point on that breakout last year with a .953 OPS in Double-A and has been hitting in Triple-A this year around his shuttling back and forth between Syracuse.

Okay, seriously... this is kinda weird bug that sometimes happens, you should use in-game saves with save-state saves to backup.
and id like to add to ash by saying u should remember that with save states if you load a state then your ingame save will be the one for that save state(been screwed that way a couple times with vba and znes lol)

New research coming out of the University of Massachusetts' psychology department reveals that casual game players get some cognitive benefits from playing games on a regular basis.
"Most of what we hear about video games concerns their detrimental effects on players. This study shows that people perceive many positive effects, even though the games can be addictive," said UMass professor Susan Whitbourne, who conducted the study along with undergraduates Stacy Ellenberg and Kyoko Akimoto.
The study, published in the December 2013 issue of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, is based on an online survey of 10,000 adults between the ages of 18-80, who were asked about their gaming habits related to Bejeweled Blitz, and allowed them to offer extensive comments. The main purpose of the study was to learn about patterns of game play among adults as a first step towards learning if casual video games can help adults improve their cognitive functions, according to Whitbourne.
The majority of those surveyed said the primary reason for playing the game was that it allowed them to compete against people they knew. This was especially true in the 18-29 year-old age group.
Secondary reasons for playing the game varied based on age group: among adults ages 30-58, the game was played to relieve stress; and adults ages 60 and older said they played for the mental challenges. Younger respondents said the "perceived benefit of playing" was that it made them feel more mentally alert and improved their memory; while older subjects said they perceived the benefits to be an improvement in visuospatial ability and reaction time.
Surprisingly, older respondents reported playing the game more than their younger counterparts.
Whitbourne and her team are currently studying if casual games can benefit attentional abilities and quicker performance in older adults. Apart from this, "it appears that these games help adults feel socially connected," Whitbourne said.

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission has approved Grade Crossing Protective Fund grants for two communities following requests from Clark County and the City of Battle Ground.
Two crossings in Vancouver, one on Northwest Fruit Valley Road and one on Northeast St. Johns Road, will receive $20,000 each to help fund replacement of current track, structure and asphalt surface, along with new mainline rail, hardwood crossties and concrete surface panels.
A third crossing at East Main Street in Battle Ground will receive $20,000 for similar improvements.
The projects are largely funded by Freight Rail Assistance Program grants from the state Department of Transportation, with some funding contributed by the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad, owned by the county. The commission also released $250 to replace signs at the Main Street crossing in Battle Ground.

Thanksgiving may be still be a couple weeks away, but hundreds of Pitt County residents got a jump start on the holiday Friday.
That's becuase "H and H Transportation", a local Greenville transport service gave away 500 turkeys and hams to citizens in need.
The business offered the free meals to any citizen receiving social services assistance, and citizens over age 70. Crowds lined up early at the English Chapel Church on Evans street, and one grateful recipient, Angela Mills, says in this tough economy, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner might not have been possible without this kind of generosity.
"I thank God for this young man that brought this together because a lot of people out this time of year with the economy the way it is didn't have money to purchase a turkey or a ham."
This was the second year for the event and organizers say they hope to make it an annual tradition.

Miss Alabama 2014 is sharing her platform of giving back to the community.
Caitlin Brunell was crowned earlier this month. The 22-year old University of Alabama graduate won the title competing as Miss Leeds Area and performed dance as her talent.
Brunell visited WTOK Tuesday to tell us about her non-profit organization, called Caitlin's Closet.
"It provides homecoming and prom dresses for young women, men's and women's suits for those who need to get back in the workforce, and wedding dresses," said Brunell. "So it's more than just a beauty pageant. This is a scholarship program that has done wonders for me and for girls across the country."
Brunell won more than $14,000 in scholarship money by winning the Miss Alabama title. She plans to use the money to pursue a master's degree.
Brunell will compete in the Miss America Pageant Sept. 14, which will air live on WTOK-TV.

It is pleasing to look at. Really amazing work.
Cool composition!
Magnificient, dear, so detailed and impressive
The render on this piece is really well done and polished!!
Fantastic !
Thehe, nice.. interesting would be now the question, if it is possible to walk trough this City by using every Bridge only once
Amazing perspective use here. Great job!
Amazing! How do you work out the perspectives for doing wide angle landscapes?
I usually paint thumbnails eyeballing everything then once I'm happy with a composition I throw some perspective lines if required.
Technically that's 6 bridges
aah.. it makes me fantasize about going there and forget about now and everything here. so nicely done!
Or, rather, do you take commissions?
How much do your commissions cost?

EVENT: 2010 ING New York City Marathon
EVENT DATE: Nov 07, 2010
In my heart, I will be carrying the torch of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone - the world's third-lowest-ranked country on the Human Development Index and eighth-lowest on the Human Poverty Index. Two thirds of the adult population of the country is illiterate. As a result of the 11-year civil war that was waged in Sierra Leone from 1991-2002, 1,270 primary schools were destroyed (one of which is pictured here); and as of 2001, 67 percent of all school-age children were out of school. It is my will and that of the Sierra Leone diaspora to help rebuild our nation into an educated, self-sufficient society that will posses the basic tools needed to tap into the many natural resources of the land and effectively manage their own destiny. It is my hope that Sierra Leone will again be a nation of prestige and honor; a nation that once boasted of having the first university in West Africa, Fourah Bay College (http://fbcusl.8k.com/history.htm), known then worldwide as the "The Athens of West Africa."
On November 7th 2010, on the streets of NY, I will give my sweat and all my body can take. I humbly ask that you join me by making whatever donation you can to help rebuild and restore education in Sierra Leone.
Let's be a team and together let's rally to get to a target of $2500 that will go towards the funding of a school currently being constructed in Freetown.
Donations will go to the Shine on Sierra Leone Organization to support its direct on-the-ground work for educational development in Sierra Leone. For more information on this organization please visit http://www.shineonsierraleone.org/#350286/Education.

Oklahoma State men's basketball: Celebrating a great man with basketball
Oklahoma State steps into a major spotlight Monday.
In a key road game at Baylor, for sure.
Yet also in one of a series ESPN-televised games celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
So for the Cowboys, it's a Big, Big Monday.
And they recognize it — on both fronts.
OSU seeks a road win over a quality club, the kind that could restore their contender status in the Big 12. So there's that.
But there's also an opportunity to share the stage with the day. It's an opportunity that has long put the NBA on this holiday stage, but is now opening up to the college kids, too.
The day on ESPN starts at noon with the NBA's Indiana Pacers and Memphis, then shifts to the college game at 2:30 with Cincinnati-Syracuse, includes the Cowboys and Bears at 4:30 p.m., Georgetown-Notre Dame at 6 and concludes with Texas-Oklahoma at 8:30.
Several Cowboys talked about what their game — and the day — means to them:
Sophomore forward Michael Cobbins
The Day: "I feel honored to be a part of something like that. It's a great day to be playing, for a great man. It's about freedom; doing things, not being afraid to voice your own opinions. Standing up for what you believe in. Never forget. It'll live on forever. Great day. I'm sure it'll be talked about a lot."
The Game: "As far as a basketball standpoint, it's just another game for us. A big game. And we've got to prepare accordingly."
Sophomore forward Le'Bryan Nash
The Day: "It honors one of the great men who made this country greater. He did so much with the 'I Have A Dream' speech. And all he did to help us, the black people, making black people feel equal in society. And what he did made this country greater. I thank him for that every day.
The Game: "It means a lot to play on Martin Luther King Day, what he did for this great country, on ESPN. Everybody's going to be watching. I think it's going to be exciting. We're going to try to go out and get a big win on the road, because we need one right now. Baylor and Oklahoma State, two of the top teams in the Big 12 in the preseason. It's going to be an exciting game."
Freshman forward Kamari Murphy
The Day: "The day is pretty special for all of us. Martin Luther King, everybody knows what he did for us, getting everybody equal rights. Just to come out and play hard, knowing that if he was still here and watching, we'd be playing hard for him."
The Game: "It's a great time to expose what we have and come out and play hard. The game is one of the biggest games we're going to have. One of the toughest teams we're going to play in conference."
Freshman guard Marcus Smart
The Day: "It's a reminder of what he did for our rights and giving us the opportunity to go to schools like this, just to have the same equal rights. That means a lot to me. So it's incredible, just for two schools to be going at it on a significant day like that, it just adds to how significant a game it's going to be and how big a game it's going to be."
The Game: "I'm pumped. We get to go in and play against a great team on their home court. It's going to be a great game. We're going in to put on a show for the crowd. Both teams will be going at it."

For the founder of the Suki beauty collection, leading a natural life has always been a top priority. Because she couldn't be certain that the ingredients in the skin care products that she found at the store truly were natural, she began researching ingredients on her own and mixed her own formulas right in her kitchen sink.

Today, her Suki Treatments Products line provides 100 percent natural solutions to a variety of skin care concerns.

The Suki Hair and Scalp Conditioning Oil is a therapeutic treatment for conditions of the scalp. Lavender, rosemary and neem serve as the base of this nourishing oil and work together to alleviate symptoms of itching and stinging. The oils also re-hydrate the skin, helping to decrease dryness and ease signs of scalp eczema. In addition, the natural antimicrobial properties in the oils help to diminish yeast along the scalp, resulting in an improvement in dandruff.
The Suki Targeted Bio-Brightening Face Serum deeply penetrates the skin, acting on the cells to control the production of the skin pigment melanin. As a result, the serum is an effective way to reduce the prominence of most types of skin discoloration, including age spots, liver spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Instead of hydroquinone or synthetic skin bleaches, the formula uses a blend of arbutin, songyi mushroom and licorice root extracts to deliver results.
The Suki Bio-C 10 Percent Formula Face Serum is a corrective serum enriched with 10 percent vitamin C. This antioxidant helps to lessen the harmful effects of free radicals to reduce the risk of wrinkle development. In addition, the vitamin works with a copper polypeptide protein complex in the formula to firm and tone the skin by encouraging collagen production. Vitamin C also brightens the complexion, leaving it more radiant in appearance.

Here's a video of Decatur Christian and you at least get to see a little bit of Lucca Staiger. Not too much but it's something I thought I'd pass along
On that homepage they also have a picture of him with the following caption 6'6" Iowa State bound-Lucca Staiger, rates as one of the state's top class of 2007 prospects.
Good Find... I really couldn't tell who was shooting the ball, or who scored...but damn Hamga could be a force down low for years to come.
Staiger dunked it on a free drive to the hoop... he's supposed to be a shooter right? Kinda nice to know he's got shooting ability as well as being able to get high enough to dunk... I assume it'll mean he's tough to shoot over as well!
Which one is Staiger ? Couldn't really tell much other than it appears that they are playing a junior high team, LOL. What was the final score 90-20? One thing to notice is that all of the shots have nice high arch to them. No flat liners to be found. Must have good coaching.
It seemed like those rims were soft or somthing. The way that ball bounced around the rim and then just kind of settled in just didn't look quite normal. Good find on the video though. Looks like McD found someone who can play.
Staiger is Number 5...

I think most people were referring to the fact that they can't see the bright numbers on the white jerseys so they can't tell who is who.

When Pigasso Met Mootisse (1998)
by Nina Laden
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"When Pigasso met Mootisee" was a very enjoyable book. The main idea of this book was to inform readers about the story of Picasso and Matisse. This book provided children the history of how the two famous artists became well known and friends. One of the reasons I enjoyed this book was how the author took a concept and made it relatable to kids by using animals such as pigs and cows. If the story would have been the real Picasso it might not have been so enjoyable for them. Another reason I enjoyed the book was because of the bright, vibrant illustrations. This made it very appealing to the eye. The illustrations included pictures detailed with bright yellow, pink, and green. It also really showcased how Picasso's art was. Lastly, I enjoyed how it also touched on the idea of friendship. In the story, Pigasso and Mootisee get into a fight. They overcome there fight and appreciate one another. This is a great model for children and can lead to a great literature discussion.
I liked this book a lot for a number of reasons. First, the illustrations were phenomenal and really mimicked the type of art that the real Picasso and Matisse painted. The language of the text was very entertaining and fun. I particularly really liked all the puns the authors used, like when Pigasso called Mootisse a "mad cow" and when the narrator referred to Pigasso as "pig-headed." When the two meet and become friends, what starts as one piece of criticism about different art techniques, turns into an argument ultimately divides them. When Pigasso and Mootisse put a fence in between their houses they realize after a while they miss each other's company and decide to be friends again. This book offers the message to young readers that just because your opinions or views differ from someone else's, it doesn't mean that you can't be friends. While Pigasso and Mootisse paint using different styles and techniques, they realize that they are both very talented artists and that is what brings them back together.
I love this "Moosterpiece" of a work by Nina Laden, and I would so enjoy using with children who have been introduced to Picasso and Matisse in an art history unit. I would want the kids to create their own works in the style of either "Pigcasso" or "Mootise", and share with the class about what makes each piece Pigcassian or Mootisian. While the book paints a very friendly version of Picasso and Matisse's rivalry, I'm not entirely sure how accurately it represents the relationship. Still, I enjoyed it!
I'm going to dump this url here so that I can come back to it later:
The above compares Picasso's relationship with Matisse to Stravinsky's relationship with Schoenberg.
I liked this book, especially the illustrations. I loved how the illustrations surrounding Pigasso were angular like his artistic style, and the illustrations for Mootise were softer like his artistic style. I found myself giggling at the illustrations in the book depicting when Mootise and Pigasso engage in a paint war. I also enjoyed the puns in the book such as "bullheaded" and "pigheaded". The big idea of the story is that we can be friends with people whos views differ from our own if we concentrate on the things we have in common and respect the differences.
This book tells the story of two artist Pigasso (Picasso) and Mootsie (Matisse). He tells how they became famous as artists and moved out to the country. They started to hate each others work and had a fight. They ended up becoming friends again and created a masterpiece on their fence.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0811811212, Hardcover)When Pigasso met Mootisse, what begins as a neighborly overture escalates into a mess. Before you can say paint-by-numbers, the two artists become fierce rivals, calling each other names and ultimately building a fence between them. But when the two painters paint opposite sides of the fence that divides them, they unknowingly create a modern art masterpiece, and learn it is their friendship that is the true work of art.
Nina Laden's wacky illustrations complement this funny story that non only introduces children to two of the world's most extraordinary modern artists, but teaches a very important lesson‐how to creatively resolve a conflictin a most unusual way.

Great pool. Beaches and restaurants in town of Hanalei which is really nice as well

Stayed in blding 5 (5220) and we have a nice view of the ocean, can't hear it but we can see so that's nice.

Wonderfully scenic and well kept resort with beautiful grounds. The room is nicely furnished with a comfortable bed and has plenty of room. It is helpful having the refrigerator and kitchenette. The breakfast at restaurant was fabulously delicious. The property is on cliffs so offers magnificent views but no beach access. We truly enjoyed the resort and our only complaint was the lukewarm hot tubs. Staff were helpful, friendly and availalble.

>> LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: in Response to "What's Next For The Shooting Gallery? Questions Linger After Emotional Friday at TSG"
Dear Editor,
Like many of my colleagues in the independent film community, I have been
shocked by the announcements regarding THE SHOOTING GALLERY. Here is one of
the most (seemingly) successful and innovative companies in our sphere,
whose daring gamble of a series of foreign and indie films has reinvigorated
the industry and the audience for specialty cinema.
What happened? Is it a falling domino effect from the dot-gone collapse?
Didn't the Series produce enough income to be a sustaining entity? Didn't
international sales of the company's self-produced films provide an added
revenue stream?
Is there a lesson here? Maybe indie companies that are willing to compromise
their independence for an infusion of venture capital are playing Russian
roulette with their own fate and future.
Film, from its very start, has been an uneasy alliance between passionate
fervor and business sensibility. But when corporate America tries to mold it
into just another business, and not respect its uniqueness and
unpredictability, we see that the corporate "support" is very thin indeed.
Just look at Winstar. Now look at Shooting Gallery.
There could be a reversal in the final reel, and I certainly hope so. Not
just for the hard working staffers and creative execs (kudos to Eammon
Bowles and company), but for the indie and foreign sector as a whole.
Through its production arm and its championing of "lost" films that would
have fallen between the cracks, The Shooting Gallery has been a leader. In
this time of uncertainty, when even our national leaders look so tentative,
we cannot afford to lose such gifted and farsighted people.
But hey, the ultimate lesson here may be.....being independent is a choice
(a personal, business and philosophical one) not a chic label or trendy fad.
Accept those corporate gifts with a grain of salt and know that whoever you
are, even the best get tempted. And violated.
Sandy Mandelberger

Great tour, Frank our guide really knew his stuff and Martin our driver made the trip through the countryside very pleasant. Stonehenge was amazing! A must trip when visiting England.
Well worth the money. The guide was very attentive and informative. We were able to cover all the attractions in good time. The cotswolds though was not a stop, it was just a drive by.
Wonderful tour. I couldn't have asked for a better guide or driver. I could never have seen that much of England on my own. A truly wonderful experience. A big plus was the guides sense of humor. He had everyone laughing. I would highly recommend Viator! From booking to the end of my trip was so easy.
Excellent trip with very knowledgeable staff.
A must-do for all who love the English classics and romantic period like I do.
This was a really interesting trip, wonderful!
The tour was great! Our guide Jason was really nice and we enjoyed the tour despite the rain in the early part and we didn't really get to see Stonehenge and Bath properly, such a pity! Stratford-upon-Avon is a really pretty town.
This tour was full of British history and culture. The amount of time at each stop was was long enough to sightsee, shop and take photos. Our tour guide was very informative and helpful,
This tour is a way of seeing many famous places in one day.
It was well worth the money.
I will say two things first: this tour is fast pace and you will sit on a bus for most of the day. I did appreciate the hotel pick up service they had but once at the bus station it was a bit hectic. Once on the bus the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and the ride around the country was nice. You don't stay in one place very long so enjoy what time you do have. If you only have one day for all these places then I would recommend this tour but if you have two days devoted to the country side I would split these two up. One could stay in Stratford all day!
This was an excellent trip. Our guide Frank was great. We covered a lot of areas, I wish we had more time in Bath.
Our guide Carol was very knowledgeable and responsible. This was a fantastic and scenic trip :
An awesome day from start to finish.The guide and driver were really committed to making sure our day was perfect.Would do it again for sure.
This was a great tour to see lots for those on a short time frame. There was only 1-2 hours at each stop.....but that was necessary in order to get around all the sites. Just seeing Roman baths could take all that time without much of a look around Bath.....but just have to watch the time and try and get as much done as possible
My sister and I really enjoyed this trip. David made it fun while we were learning. We would highly recommend this tour.
First of all, I'd like to say that our tour guide, David, made the tour. He was a font of knowlege, and he shared it not only by telling you what you were seeing and the history of it, but but talking to the driver. He also managed to know most of our names withing the first hour, which was amazing, and he engaged us directly with tidbits of knowledge and humor if you have a thin skin, please try and take it in the manner it is intended. The tour itself was great. I would have liked a little more time in Stratford-upon-Avon, and maybe a little less in Bath, but the time at Stonehenge was perfect.
An enchanting introduction to Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswalds, Bath and Stonehenge.
Highly recommended. The tour guide excellently pointed out the history of each site. The whole trip lasted about 12 hours. We had a great time and would visit other sites using this company.
Excellent, knowledgeable tour guide. Bus driver made the trip very comfortable and smooth and went out of the way to drop people close to their destinations on the way back.
Nick was the funniest and most knowledgable tour guide we could've asked for! One of the highlights of our entire trip to England was having Nick as our tour guide.
This was a wonderful full day trip out of London. The London countryside is so beautiful, and the 3 areas of interest we visited were wondeful, i.e. Stonehenge, Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The guide was very interesting and the bus driver superb.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore a little of the countryside while they are in London.
HIGHLY recommend David and driver Dan for this tour. David was brilliant, hilarious, and showed us the best sites while cleverly avoiding crowds. Really made you feel like you were getting more for your money. Dan drove like and expert and we couldn't have asked for better service. My only complaint is that we didn't book more tours with them while we were there. David was one of the highlights of our trip! You'll love the sites and history you receive with this tour.
Sunday 28/6/15. Really enjoyed the tour. Well structured, and our driver was excellent. The tour guideof 20 years was not as enthusiastic as all other tour guides we've had.
Fabulous tour. Very long as there was a lot of ground to cover once you left London's peak hour traffic so be prepared for this. Tour ran like clockwork without a glitch. Tour guide called himself Captain gave just enough info en-route so as not to overload us. He was very specific and reiterated the time to return to the coach after our personal 'free time' at each destination to keep to schedule. A great way to see these three magnificent sights if you are time poor and only have a day. Well worth the money spent. Great value.
Well it wasn't the whole of England- but about as much as you could expect to see in one day. David, our guide was great- interesting, informative, maybe a bit opinionated but loved that, lots of insider knowledge and benefits, made all the sights so much more interesting than going it alone- especially Stonehenge. Loved it.
Very good program, from it you could easily understand which places you want to see for longer time. For us Stonehedge and Stratford-upon-Avon were very interesting, but Bath was the best expirience! We will return there for sure! Also good guide and well-organized group!
