Cultural relativism and comparative criminology

The recent spate of comparative studies of crime is long overdue as a potential palliative to the traditional ethnocentrism of American criminology. But their comparative method is uncritically taken from two incompatible propositions derived from Durkheimian empiricism. As such, the generalizations about criminal behavior that these studies advance should be treated more with caution than optimism. This essay discusses the alleged advances over Durkheimian empiricism made by two distinct forms of cultural relativism.
If what every man believes as a result of perception is indeed to be true for him; if, just as no one is to be a better judge of what another experiences, so no one is better entitled to consider what another thinks is true or false... then, my friend, where is the wisdom of Protagoras, to justify his setting up to teach others and to be handsomely paid for it?
Socrates, in Plato'sTheaetetus

National Parks Conservation Association
Rating: 4.77 stars 86 86 reviews
777 6th Street Ste 700 Washington DC 20001 USA
To protect and enhance America's National Park System for current and future generations.
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) works on the ground, in and around our national parks, conducting research, and working hand-in-hand with park staff, community leaders, park advocates, and state and federal legislators to ensure that our national parks and monuments are welcoming and well funded, well managed and well protected for generations today and tomorrow. NPCA can be found mobilizing citizens and joining with communities, businesses, landowners, and activists; promoting legislation that strengthens protections for the national parks, advocating for the funding our national parks and monuments need, establishing or enforcing legal safeguards through the courts; and doing everything we can to protect our national parks for years to come. NPCA was established in 1919 to be an independent voice for our National Park System. One of our founders, Stephen Mather, was also the first director of the National Park Service, which was established in 1916. Mather and others saw a clear need for an independent voice outside of the federal government to protect the nation's parklands. For more than 90 years, the nonpartisan, independent, membership organization has been the leading voice of the American people in protecting and enhancing the park system's superlative examples of America's natural, cultural, and historic heritage. NPCA and its more than a million members and supporters are committed to preserving the most diverse park system in the world for us now and for those who will come after.

Reviews for National Parks Conservation Association
NPCA is out to make a difference--to advance the cause of our national parks. It engages in a breathtaking array of advocacy efforts, from lobbying members of Congress to joining lawsuits to block activities that would harm our national treasures. And its magazine, "National Parks," is the best nonprofit one that I receive.

Advanced Aquarist
SPS release hydrogen peroxide when feeding
A fascinating study has discovered that the SPS coral Stylophora pistillata releases hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) when it feeds on zooplankton. Furthermore, both feeding and H2O2 emission completely stop in the absence of calcium.
Four seasons
Father time moves with purpose! This week marks the official start of Spring. Our partner, AquaA3, shared with us this clever aquascaping depiction of the four seasons.
How do you silence the reef's loudest citizen?
Pistol shrimps (AKA snapping shrimps) are the loudest critter in the sea. But if you raise CO2 levels high enough, they can fall silent. This actually has very dire consequences for coral reefs because many animals use the sound of pistol shrimps to make their life decisions.
Five new, radiant, freshwater crabs
The five new crab species were all discovered in the secluded Konkan region of the Western Ghats mountain range in India, where they appear indigenous. It's unlikely any of these will make it into the aquarium trade any time soon, but what an amazing exhibit these would make!
Meet Corydoras eversi, a new cory species
Corydoras eversi is a vibrant orange cory catfish discovered in rio Araguaia, Brazil by a fishkeeper and cory breeder! It's been in the aquarium trade for some time now, known among fishkeepers as Corydoras sp. "Guarana." Now it has a formal description.
Five new pygmy sweepers
John E. Randall and Sergey V. Borgorodsky have described five new pygmy sweeper (Parapriacanthus sp.) species. Don't feel bad if you don't know what a sweeper, let alone pygmy sweeper, is. These schooling fish rarely make it into the aquarium trade.
Attention LFS: Do this.
Studio Blue Aquatics is a new local fish store in Surprise, AZ (yes, that is the real name of the city). They set up this aquascape "play area" for customers to try out aquascaping ideas before committing to their driftwood and rock purchases.
CBD petitions to prevent import of cyanide-caught fish
Several major media outlets are all-of-a-sudden reporting about fish caught using cyanide for the aquarium trade. That's because this month the Center for Biological Diversity submitted a petition to NOAA and the National Fish and Wildlife Service to ban cyanide-caught fish.
AquaMaxx launches NemoLight LED lights
AquaMaxx has entered the LED arena with four new controllable and affordable LED strip lights intended for fish-only, low-to-medium light reef, and planted aquariums. All the models are extremely stylish, built from a sleek 1/2" aluminum unibody.
Technique developed to grow corals directly on microscope slides
Many reefkeepers who have kept Pocillopora sp. have experienced polyp bailout. Scientists now have devised a method to exploit this natural phenomenon to grow corals directly on microscope slides, which will allow researchers to study corals in unprecedented detail!
First aquacultured yellow tangs are finally here!
The dream has finally become reality! At least two major livestock wholesalers, Quality Marine and Segrest Farms, have received the first ever batch of captive bred yellow tangs.
Make it rain!
If you're looking to create something different for your next aquarium system, how about an aquarium (fresh or saltwater) with rain simulation? These two aquariums will blow your minds.
The easiest way to win an Aqua Illumination Prime LED light!
Aqua Illumination is giving away five Prime LED lights through five websites (and yes, you can win up to five Primes if you enter all the contests). Advanced Aquarist is offering the easiest way for you to win one.
A $500 Aquarium Backpack?!
Someone, please explain this product to us. Etsy seller 'uvproductionhouse' is selling a "self cleaning" transparent backpack - with decorations, snails, and goldfish - for $500 USD.
Researchers found shallow-water corals are not related to their deep-water counterparts
A new study led by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science found that shallow-reef corals are more closely related to their shallow-water counterparts over a thousand miles away than they are to deep-water corals on the same reef.

Israel, The Arabs, and the Middle East 1948–2012 (Revised)
In The Lingering Conflict Itamar Rabinovich, a former chief negotiator for Israel, provides unique and authoritative insight into the prospects for genuine peace in the Middle East. His presentation includes a detailed insider account of the peace processes of 1992–96 and a frank dissection of the more dispiriting record since then.
Rabinovich's firsthand experiences as a negotiator and as Israel's ambassador to the United States provide a valuable perspective from which to view the major players involved. Fresh analysis of ongoing situations in the region and the author's authoritative take on key figures such as Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu shed new light on the long and tumultuous history of Arab-Israeli relations. His book is a shrewd assessment of the past and current state of affairs in the Middle East, as well as a sober look at the prospects for a peaceful future.
While Rabinovich explains the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians—a classic dispute between two national movements claiming the same land—The Lingering Conflict also considers the broader political, cultural, and increasingly religious conflict between the Jewish state and Arab nationalism. He approaches the troubled region in an international context, offering provocative analysis of America's evolving role and evaluation of its diplomatic performance.
This book builds on the author's previous seminal work on geopolitics in the Middle East. As Rabinovich brings the Arab-Israeli conflict up to date, he widens the scope of his earlier insights into efforts to achieve normal, peaceful relations. And, of course, he takes full account of recent social and political tumult in the Middle East, discussing the Arab Spring uprisings—and the subsequent retaliation by dictators such as Syria's al-Asad and Libya's Qaddafi—in the context of Arab-Israeli relations.
Praise for the book:
"There is no better guide than Itamar Rabinovich to the story of Israel and the Arabs over the past half-century. His careful chronicle of peacemaking efforts makes depressing reading, as a story of courageous efforts that failed and opportunities that were missed."—David Ignatius, columnist for the Washington Post and author of Blood Money
"The Lingering Conflict reflects the author gained as an important participant in key Arab-Israeli negotiations. With its informed analysis of the consequences of the Arab Spring, this book makes a major contribution toward understanding the tangled issues that stand in the way of Middle East peace."—Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, former U.S. secretary of state
"[The Lingering Conflict] . . . adopts the style of sweeping overview, stitching together the disparate strands of the domestic politics and diplomacy in each of the three key countries from which Rabinovich was able to observe these developments, this book is a tour d'horizon of the peace process that should appeal to a broad public audience."—Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer, Princeton University

Len Wein helps CBR TV kick off its 2012 WonderCon coverage to discuss his history with Watchmen, from editing the original 12-issue series to contributing the "Tales of the Crimson Corsair" back-up story and writing the "Ozymandias" miniseries for the upcoming Before Watchmen event.
Wein described his hands-off approach to editing Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons as they crafted their original series and revealed his initial reaction upon hearing that DC planned to revisit the property. He explains his differing approaches to his two Before Watchmen projects, reveals exactly when and where his Ozymandias story begins and explains what the concept behind his Crimson Corsair story.
Beyond Before Watchmen, Wein recalls his experience losing his collection and personal belongings in a house fire in 2009, the outpouring of help from friends and fans alike and what he most enjoys about writing for television.
Generally speaking no thanks.
I'm honestly surprised that this took so long. Creators intent be damned, if it makes money/is popular DC/Marvel will milk it until it's dry and desolate. That being said, I have to respectfully disagree with Wein here. I won't be buying a single one of these books because I feel that they aren't legit. I know that these people are (overall) some of the current industries most talented, but this just feels like over glorified fan fiction to me. Not just because Moore doesn't endorse them, but because Watchmen said everything it needed to. This applies to both the characters and their world. All the back story I needed was there, and the story had an appropriate end point. If somebody else wants to read these then fine, have at them. But as far as I'm concerned I have zero need for prequels/sequels no matter who's doing them. Hell, I'm about 95% certain that I wouldn't read these had they been written by Moore himself. I must acknowledge the delicious irony of Len Wein working on Moore's creation though. That's truly rich, folk.
I won't read these because I don't read fanfiction.
Len Wein was hands off on the original project because he didn't have a clue what it was about.It was so far above Wein's head it is hysterical.The fact he was paid to sit around for several months collecting a paycheck while doing nothing makes me wonder about DC's overall business model at that time.This is like the octogenarian hooker way past her prime who's trying to work a frat party.When it's exploitative and not yours to rework that is exactly what it is.Along with Azzarello and Darwin Cooke another writer not to support any longer.To do this to a creator who reworked your Swamp Thing and made it stand head and shoulders above your simple rip off of the Heap is astounding.

The smallest details
Written by Jennifer Hicks Friday, 26 June 2009 19:37
For more than 64 years, Oscar M. Cortes has been handcrafting Old West reproductions through Oscar's Old West Miniatures, his family business. The business is located in Quail Valley, Calif., and makes handcrafted wooden wagons, stagecoaches and horses out of hardwoods, metal and leather.
The company has four employees, including Oscar, his wife Maria, and sons Robert and Jorge. They make about 200 different styles of Old West models including water wagons, chuck wagons, sheepherders, buckboards, horse-drawn teams, mud wagons, oil wagons, covered wagons, Conestogas, freight wagons and more.
Everything is built to scale at various ratios, the average being 20-to-1. The models function like the real thing, with working brakes and opening doors. They also have leather suspensions in the framework. The designs are modeled from pictures, blueprints and Old West history the family has studied through the years.
"Developing the first one to make it look like the original is the most difficult part — and also getting the design to scale," says Cortes. "There are a handful of businesses like ours who make wagons, and a lot of them use the same wheel for many of their wagons, but we don't … everything is individually made."
Clients come from all over the world. The majority of commissions go to commercial clients who get production-style products. The company makes about 100 models a month for a major bank that has been a customer for more than 30 years. Other customers include celebrities, an amusement park, collectors and museums from around the world.
A small percentage of clients are from the private sector, many of whom have life-size wagons and want a copy for display at home or at work. The company makes about five of these custom models per month.
An average-sized project takes about 40 hours to make. But for larger and more detailed ones, it can take up to several months to build. The miniatures sell from $150 to $20,000 each.
"The best part is, due to the uniqueness of each piece of art, there is no business competition. Business has always been pretty good," says Cortes.

A £30 million refurbishment has improved the much-derided 12,500-capacity Wembley Arena no end, with comfy seating, better acoustics and decent sightlines. Built opposite Wembley Stadium it was originally intended to be used a swimming pool. Despite hosting aquatic events in the 1934 Empire Games and 1948 Olympic Games, it's rarely used for sport these days. Wembley Arena reopened to the public with a Depeche Mode concert in 2006 and has since proved a huge success. Pearl Jam drew a record crowd of 12,470 fans for a 2007 gig, Cliff Richard holds the record for most headline shows by one artist (over 60) and Busted hold the record for selling out the most consecutive nights, with 11. The only downside is the slight dearth of decent food and drink options.
For the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Arena will seat 6,000 people who will enjoy the Badminton and Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Open Shutters (Paperback)
Mary Jo Salter's sparkling new collection, Open Shutters, leads us into a world where things are often not what they seem. In the first poem, "Trompe l'Oeil," the shadow-casting shutters on Genoese houses are made of paint only, an "open lie." And yet "Who needs to be correct / more often than once a day? / Who needs real shadow more than play?"
Open Shutters also calls to mind the lens of a camera--in the villanelle "School Pictures" or in the stirring sequence "In the Guesthouse," which, inspired by photographs of a family across three generations, offers at once a social history of America and a love story.
Darkness and light interact throughout the book--in poems about September 11; about a dog named Shadow; about a blind centenarian who still pretends to read the paper; about a woman shaken by the death of her therapist. A section of light verse highlights the wit and grace that have long distinguished Salter's most serious work.
Fittingly, the volume fools the eye once more by closing with "An Open Book," in which a Muslim family praying at a funeral seek consolation in the pages formed by their upturned palms.
Open Shutters is the achievement of a remarkable poet, whose concerns and stylistic range continue to grow, encompassing ever larger themes, becoming ever more open.
"From the Hardcover edition.

A vice president of the Poetry Society of America, she has also served as poetry editor of The New Republic.
Praise For…
Open Shutters (2003)
"[Salter] . . . challenges us with the discovery that something lucid, forthright, and fantastically undisheveled might also be sublime."
–Stephen Metcalf, New York Times Book Review
"Salter . . . performs with deep pleasure and arresting artistry the paired arts of avid observation and the transformation of hectic experience into crystalline images, golden threads of narrative, and startling extrapolations . . Salter's moves are so precise and gravity-defying, so astonishingly eloquent, the exhilarated reader feels as though she's watching a gymnast perform intricate, risky, and unpredictable sequences, nailing each one perfectly.
–Donna Seaman, Booklist
"A mature poet at the top of her form. . . Delightful."
–Rochelle Ratner, Library Journal
A Kiss in Space (1999)
"The book of poetry I loved best this year was A Kiss in Space, full of moving adventurous work."
–Les Murray, Times Literary Supplement
"These are poems of breathtaking elegance: in formal control, in intellectual subtlety, in learning lightly displayed."
–Carolyn Kizer
Sunday Skaters (1994)
"A beautiful book, a major phase in the career of an important poet . . . In these poems a quality of close but apparently effortless observation is backed up by a strong and deep moral sense."
–Henry Taylor
Unfinished Painting (1989)
"Mary Jo Salter's work embodies the marriage of superb craftsmanship to the tragic sense of reality, which is the formula of true poetry."
–Joseph Brodsky
Henry Purcell in Japan (1985)
"A poetry full of alertness, tact, credible feeling, and an unforced gaiety of form . . . For all her modesty of tone, she has a range of awareness and response, which, in a time when much poetry has shrunk to the merely personal, is refreshingly large."
–Richard Wilbur

Before anyone points me to it, I have already read http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs
The things is I have a much more specific question..
Is there a system that allows multiple users to write on different blogs, where the user information is retreived form a single database? The different sites can also draw their content from a single database too, provided that there is a way so that only posts that match a certain criteria (ie. tags or categaories) are displayed on a blog.
I have a few websites which concentrate on different topics ( http://www.foliolar.com , http://www.sanatfolio.com , http://www.pazarfolio.com , http://www.sporfolio.com , http://www.teknofolio.com ) I initially thought that having separate WP installations wouldn't be a problem since Fantastico makes it really easy to install them all. Anyway, there are about 10 authors in this network and most of them usually post in one main blog but I also thought that it is a good idea to let them post in different blogs just in case, so I created all the users in all the blogs. The thing is, now we're thinking of opening a few more blogs with different topics and I really don't think I can go in and manually enter user information again..

Brief Summary
MammalMAP says about the Dugong:
The dugong (Dugong dugon; IUCN status: Vulnerable), also commonly called the 'sea cow' favours shallow and protected coastal waters in tropical areas. Both dugongs and their close freshwater relative – manatees – have pectoral mammary glands that closely resemble (closely enough, anyway) human breasts. These features, as well as the animals nursing behaviour, may have caused sailors to liken them to mermaids or sirens; hence the name of the order to which they belong: 'Sirenia'. Dugongs can be extremely long-lived, reaching ages of 70 years or more. Group sizes appear to be flexible with animals living alone, in pairs or in large groups; however the most stable and long-lasting groups are mother and calf pairs. The dugong has a wide range throughout the Indo-Pacific region, from the east coast of Africa to islands of the western Pacific, such as Vanuatu. However, many populations are severely depleted or almost extinct. The majority are found off the coast of northern Australia. For more information visit the MammalMAP virtual museum and blog.

By John B. SnyderDecember 22, 2008
The Arsenal's information technology folks have a New Years' resolution and it means getting the Arsenal workforce thinner. No, this isn't some new health kick or an attempt to make Arsenal employees workout everyday at the gym. Because we know that ain't going to happen.
Nevertheless, Bob Davis, acting director of information management at the Arsenal, said that without causing a lot of sweat, a drop in a dress size, or the tightening of the belt, he will magically make us thin with technology.
Davis said that within the next few months, the 175 desktop computers that you have grown to love, unless your computer works like mine, will be replaced by what is called a Hewlett-Packard "Thin Client" device. This thin device and server system is a small, low-powered device that will dramatically reduce information management costs for the command.
A thin client computer relies on a remote server for processing actions and the storage of software and data. The only software loaded on the client computer is the user interface, user applications, and an operating system. So, the bottom line is that all the heavy work will be done by the servers, versus, the individual desktop systems that we currently use. No more DVD or CD slots.
The advantages to the command are significant, Davis said. As you may recall, every time there is a security patch or software upgrade to our current system, those upgrades must be "pushed" to each individual workstation. If there is any trouble with the push, the IT crew often goes to each individual user to try to resolve.
Now, all upgrades and security patches can be sent to just a few servers and immediately, our client computers are upgraded.
Another significant cost savings comes from replacing obsolete desktop systems every five years. The annual upgrade cost to the command is more than $50,000 to replace outdated desktop computers. Now, the thin client system, which cost the command about $500 versus $1200 for a desktop, will always have the most current operating system and software because only the servers will need to be upgraded every few years.
Finally, many of us want to "go green" to reduce our carbon footprint. In essence, reduce the impact our daily activities have on the environment. While others, simply want to reduce their high energy costs. Well, that is another great advantage of the thin client.
Because of the much smaller size and low operating requirements when compared to a desktop, the thin client should dramatically reduce the command's utility bill.
According to the Hewlett-Packard website, the thin client's total cost of ownership will be:
80% less maintenance per year
25% capital cost savings
34% less maintenance
23% less to operate
25% productivity increase

MacGyver - The Complete First Season
Frequently Bought Together
Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Produced by Henry Winkler (Arrested Development), The Complete First Season includes all 22 episodes from 1985-1986 (alas, there are no extras). MacGyver is joined by Phoenix Foundation director of operations Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar), who is introduced in "Nightmares." Also, his grandfather, Harry Jackson (John Anderson), makes his first appearance in "Target MacGyver," while friend Penny Parker (Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives) makes hers in "Every Time She Smiles" (they will appear more frequently in future seasons). Other notable guest stars include Joan Chen (The Last Emperor) in "The Golden Triangle," Nana Visitor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) in "Hellfire," and John De Lancie (Star Trek: The Next Generation) in "The Escape."
MacGyver ran for seven seasons and was followed by two made-for-TV movies in 1994, Lost Treasure of Atlantis and Trail to Doomsday. In 1997, after a short-lived series for UPN (1995's Legend), Anderson landed the lead in an even longer-running series, Stargate SG-1, based on the sci-fi extravaganza with Kurt Russell. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

As I plowed through the first two discs, however, my enthusiasm began to wane a little. The first thing that made me wary was the DVD menu. This is without a doubt the single laziest DVD release I've ever seen -- no chapter selection menu, no commentary tracks, no appreciations, no cast/crew comments (even in written form), no interviews, not even episode histories or a booklet. See, MacGyver had existed for so long in my world that I had wanted to know exactly how the show began, when, and in what context. You will get *nothing* of the sort on this DVD. This DVD set redefines "no frills" -- each episode is divided into six chapters that aren't accessible by chapter menus, only by pressing track forward and back keys. Six chapters per one-hour episode! Do the math -- each episode is 46 to 48 minutes long, so each chapter is eight minutes. In TV terms, enough for four to six scenes.
The picture and sound quality are pretty bad as well. On some episodes this is not noticeable, but on others, I notice degraded sound quality, film scratches, and worse still, shots that look like compressed Avid outputs, where even colour correction appeared to have been skipped.Read more ›
There are 21 episodes plus the pilot episode. I have read that all 22 episodes will be on the DVD but that the extras have not yet been announced.
1. Pilot: The famous episode in which MacGyver uses chocolate to stop an acid leak after a lab explosion.
2. The Golden Triangle: MacGvyer becomes involved with enslaved farmers in opium fields.
3. Thief of Budapest: A gypsy girl steals a watch containing microfilm.
4. The Gauntlet: MacGvyer tries to rescue a reporter trapped in central America.
5. The Heist: A casino owner steals diamonds belonging to a charity.
6. Trumbo's World: A mile-wide column of ants is moving through the jungle.
7. Last Stand: Mac and a group of people are kidnapped by thieves at a small airport.
8. Hellfire: Mac tries to put out an oil-well fire.
9. The Prodigal: A federal witness wants to visit his dying mother.
10. Target MacGyver: Mac visits his grandfather to hide out from an assassin.
11. Nightmares: McGyver is drugged, kidnapped and escapes. Without the drug antidote, he will die.

MacGyver is my favorite show of all time. I grew up watching this show from beginning to end and it is so great to see it finally being given a full season by season release on DVD.
For anyone who by some unfortunate chance has never gotten to see this show, definitely pick this set up. (Though I wish Amazon would spell the name right. The "G" is capitalized!)
Here's a few reasons why I like this show so much. Well, okay, the first thing that drew me to the show was the great action and last minute escapes with MacGyverisms. Amazing what you can do with a Swiss Army Knife, duct tape, and your wits! :-)
I really liked the fact that he was against guns, smoking, drugs, and drinking. All in all, MacGyver is a great show that provides plenty of action and entertainment, actual useful knowledge, and a positive role model who portrays good morals. He also was one of the most caring heroes on TV who took time to help others just because they needed help. He really had genuine compassion and kindness towards others. I also like the way that he shook his hand after punching someone. It really showed a human side to him, that it's okay to say "ow" when you hurt. He was definitely a cool hero and those are all the reasons why I still love watching MacGyver today.
MacGyver is a classic action show from the Eighties/early Nineties. It had just about everything - action, adventure, trauma, disaster, triumph, excitement, comedy and even the occasional touch of romance. We have the lead character Angus MacGyver (his first name was finally provided in one solitary episode, much to the character's displeasure), his best friend and boss Pete Thornton, who is head of the Phoenix Foundation, and his nemesis, Murdoch, who pops up every so often with one thought on his twisted mind - kill MacGyver.
One of the highlights of the show was watching the title character get out of the tightest jams using seemingly mundane, everyday objects. As a friend pointed out, put a Swiss Army Knife, duct tape and a couple of wires in the guy's hand, and he could blow his way out of Fort Knox.
Yes, the show seemed silly at times, but that was half the fun, and it made science fun for those of us ignoramuses who just weren't science-oriented.
The beauty of a show like MacGyver was that there were endless possibilities for storylines. I recall a particularly exciting episode in which Mac was employed to break into a hi-tech building in order to test out the new central, sentient computer system. He got in, but then could not get out again when the computer went haywire and tried to kill him for real.Read more ›

How can the practice of painting and drawing contribute to site analysis in Landscape Architecture? This project investigates possible uses and applications of fine art to Landscape Architectural site analysis practice. It does this through a methodology that promotes inter-disciplinary collaboration in order to advocate for sites that are neglected or contain qualities that have been lost. This advocacy is conducted through using painted and drawn representations to draw out narratives from a site, which in turn encourages community input into the site analysis process.

the mds kits seem to be the most popular but the muzzy kit sounds like it would be easy to install and muzzy has a good rep. and the kit comes with everything needed to install.
also what type of kill is better the ignition or the fuel kill?
this is my first straight line build so i dont know alot about the airshifters at all and any advice would be great.
p.s. i will be using the arm tank so will be low pressure if that matters.

We are all quite familiar with Greek mythology and the role played by its goddesses; Athena, Aphrodite, Hera just to name a few. All these women were thought to be stunning and their garments even more so. You are probably wondering why I am focusing on Greek folklore rather than fashion this week, wait for it…..the answer is simple. Not only is our next designer from one of the greatest countries rooted in ancient history, Greece, she has also succeeded in mastering the art of creating eco-friendly garments that unquestionably bring out the goddess in a woman.
Designer Athena Bentila, owner of the label Mumu organic, and a native of Cyclades island of the Aegean Sea, Greece, has created an eco-friendly empire that focuses on the use of organic cotton and sustainable fabrics. Taking her inspiration from the cobalt-colored seas and blue skies of the island, she uses luxurious and bright quality textiles that make each of her designs pop. With artist and co-founder of Mumu organic, Roland Wakker, she is able to create classy, vintage inspired, timeless clothing that I must say would last forever in your closet.
So, "faire ressortir la déesse en vous, avec une de ses robes," and get to know Athena better by checking out my exclusive interview with her below. Until next time this is Kilse from Vert et Vogue bidding you adieu and Happy Shopping!
Hi Athena, and welcome to Vert et Vogue. Your line is amazing; can you please tell me when you decided to get involved in green fashion?
I decided to start designing the ethical clothing MuMu organic in 2008 when I moved out of the city to go and live on a beautiful Greek island.
What are some of the eco-friendly factors you focus on and how do they affect your design process?
For the MuMu organic designs I use only organic cotton fabrics and other sustainable fabrics and components, and I can say that my design process is affected in a positive way. There are many eco-friendly fabrics out there that I can use and have the desired result. Organic and sustainable fabrics have exceptionally bright colors, one of the many things I look for when choosing my fabrics.
They have a luxurious feeling and touch and that shows also on the designs. I can produce long lasting loved pieces with these wonderful fabrics.
I simply love classy, timeless and stylish clothing and this is what I try to implement in my lines. I like to use simple lines with beautiful and charming details that make the MuMu organic clothing charming and feminine. At the same time I like to use art inspired prints, like I did with my SS13 collection, where I used water based prints inspired by the original ecological paintings made by the artist and co-founder Roland Wakker.
Your Audrey dress is very sophisticated and the purple color is so rich. I love it. Can you please tell me who you consider a target audience when designing?
I always have in mind the modern woman of our days who wants to feel beautiful and dynamic when I design the MuMu organic collections. My target audience is mainly all women from their 20s to their 60s who want to feel special, beautiful, charming and ageless.
It is difficult to break into the fashion industry in our days, regardless of the philosophy of the designer.
For me, as an eco-friendly designer, it is also difficult to break into the foreign market because of the existence of so many other designers and labels with the same philosophy. As for breaking into my country's industry, the difficulties are slightly different since Greece is suffering an economic crisis for many years now, but I hope things will get better soon for my label and my country.
First of all, I think they will feel different since the fabrics I use are friendly to the human skin and there are no chemicals used at all. Organic clothing has a gentle and soft feeling due to the organic fabrics used and they allow to the skin to breathe. These fabrics are not likely to cause any long term infections to the skin.
At the same time I think they will also feel proud for supporting the Fair Trade movement and the local producers in developing countries because, in this way, they are ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for them.
Who are some of your fashion icons?
I admire Coco Channel and I really love the work of Marc Jacobs amongst many others.
Each designer usually has a motto or a set of rules they abide by when designing, do you have one and if so what is it?
My rules and my motto are certainly my philosophy: I am dedicated to designing and producing ethical and beautiful, loved pieces and I am not sacrificing my quality or my principles for profit and for quantity.
What advice can you give other young emerging fashion designers even more so eco-friendly young emerging designers.
I can only advise them to dare to do what they love and they believe in and stay true to their beliefs.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Democratic leader of the Georgia Senate
called on Gov. Sonny Perdue to find $2.7 million to keep open the
domiciliary unit of the Georgia War veterans in Milledgeville.
According to Robert Brown of Macon, veterans will be dumped in the
street when the unit shuts its doors Nov. 30.
The unit fell victim to state budget cuts this year.
81 vets were housed, but officials with the state Department of Veterans Services say some of the residents have already found other
housing, 26 of them in the home's skilled nursing facility.
Other portions of the home will remain open, including a section
that treats veterans with Alzheimer's.

Creating a cozy hearth for the family
by Jaci Kennison
a green home, jaci kennison, organization, storage, small space, small home, decor, decorations, baskets, tea
Jaclyn Kennison is a freelance writer living and playing in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She owns and manages an art gallery and event venue between fits of shopping and redecorating.
When decorating a very small space, it is optimal if your décor serves another purpose as well. Often, that secondary function is much needed storage.
For the last several years I have been attempting to wean myself off coffee, at least during the week. In making this adjustment I have also found myself on a quest for a suitable tea to replace coffee in my soothing morning routine. I have found quite a few, happily, that are a delight on my tongue. My desire for variety though, has left me with too many boxes of tea cramping up the tiny amount of storage my apartment kitchen offers.
When I moved into a slightly larger apartment a few years ago—about 420 square feet—I unpacked my décor and discovered I have developed a collection of baskets. They are a great way to store a number of different items, but they do take up shelf and counter space, which I don't have much of to begin with. So the question was where to store them.
I hung one particularly pretty one on the wall, but found it disappointingly lack-luster in its visual appeal. Wandering around my new kitchen, basket in hand, I came across my box of tea boxes. Mounting the basket vertically on the wall provided me with the space to accommodate several varieties of my morning elixir. Problem solved.
Use a long, narrow basket mounted to the wall in the kitchen to create storage for boxes of tea. Photo By Jaci Kennison.
This idea sparked my creativity for a variety of other applications. Baskets on the walls, especially when the containers themselves are particularly appealing, can be a useful decorative element that doubles as storage.
Long rectangular baskets work better than square ones, because they are more appealing. In the kitchen, coffee drinkers can use the basket to hold a couple of their favorite blends. Tea, of course, and folded cloth napkins work well too.
Near your sewing or craft station, small boxes will fit perfectly in a narrow basket and hold buttons, pins, bobbins and other small items.
If you haven't transferred all your music to your iPod or computer yet, mount a basket to hold CDs. Find one at your local antique shop that is a bit wider and tall, and store DVDs in it. Books too, can be transferred to wall-mounted baskets. They are a bit more interesting than bookshelves and don't take up valuable floor space.
As I've said before, when you are going green by reducing your home's physical footprint, storage can quickly become an issue. Moving your storage off the floor will help your small space feel larger and more open. Breaking from the traditional shelves will keep your "storage" looking like "décor" and your small house (or apartment) feeling like a home.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...

Access to Courts
Circuit courts continue to target departure bar on motions to reopen
Prestol Espinal v. Attorney General, --- F.3d --- (3d Cir. 2011)
Contreras-Bocanegra v. Holder, No. 10-9500 (10th Cir. rehearing en banc granted Aug. 2, 2011)
In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit became the latest federal court to reject the government's efforts to prevent noncitizens outside the United States from having their cases reopened or reconsidered. In a unanimous ruling, the court held that the regulations underlying the "departure bar" violate the plain text of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which sets deadlines for filing motions to reopen or reconsider but says nothing to limit such rights for noncitizens already outside the country.
In reaching its decision, the Third Circuit relied on many arguments made in an amicus brief submitted jointly by the Legal Action Center and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers' Guild. (LAC Deputy Director Beth Werlin also participated in oral argument before the Third Circuit.) The two organizations have coordinated litigation challenging the departure bar and have repeatedly called on the Department of Justice to abandon the regulations preventing noncitizens from challenging deportation orders following their removal from the United States. As the Third Circuit noted, the departure bar not only conflicts with federal law, but allows the federal government to effectively moot pending motions by forcibly removing individuals seeking to have their cases reopened or reconsidered.
Meanwhile, the day before the Third Circuit's ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit agreed to consider the validity of the departure bar en banc. This is significant because the Tenth Circuit is the only court to uphold the departure bar after considering whether it conflicts with the INA and constitutes a proper exercise of the agency's authority. Oral argument in the case is scheduled for the week of November 14, 2011. The Legal Action Center and National Immigration Project filed amicus briefs in support of the petition for rehearing en banc and just filed supplemental briefs, as ordered by the en banc court.
Obama Administration and DHS announce administrative closure of "low priority" cases, recognition of family ties of LGBT families
On August 18, the Obama Administration announced the formation of a high-level working group to review approximately 300,000 pending removal cases and administratively close proceedings against individuals found to be a "low" enforcement priority. The review process, which will be conducted by members of the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, is intended to ease the tremendous backlog in the immigration courts and to ensure that government resources are focused on cases involving the government's highest immigration enforcement priorities—public safety, national security and border security. In determining whether to exercise prosecutorial discretion, working group members will take relationships of LGBT families into account, just as they will all other family ties. Although no category of cases will receive a blanket exercise of favorable prosecutorial discretion, certain categories of individuals—including veterans, long-time permanent residents, minors, the elderly, individuals who have been present since childhood, individuals with serious disabilities or health issues, nursing or pregnant women, and victims of domestic violence or other serious crimes—will receive particular attention. Respondents whose cases are administratively closed will be eligible to apply for an employment authorization document through USCIS.
The announcement came in response to calls by Members of Congress and immigrants' rights organizations, including the American Immigration Council, for the increased exercise of prosecutorial discretion in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform. Over the past two months, the LAC has stepped up its media outreach on prosecutorial discretion; issued practice advisories for attorneys on requesting prosecutorial discretion, low priority case reviews, and cases involving LGBT families; and participated in several attorney CLE trainings and congressional briefings on prosecutorial discretion, the new DHS review process, and options for "DREAMers"—young adults who would potentially qualify for relief under the DREAM Act.
Systemic Reforms
Survey results demonstrate widespread problems with "asylum clock"
Over the past several months, the LAC and AILA, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, have undertaken a survey of immigration attorneys across the country to gather updated information about the processing of applications for employment authorization by asylum seekers and the calculation of timeframes for employment authorization eligibility (the "asylum clock"). This information was intended to update the findings summarized in Up Against the Clock: Fixing the Broken Employment Authorization Clock, which was published in February 2010 by the American Immigration Council and Penn State Law School's Center for Immigrants' Rights.
Based on over 100 responses received to date, the LAC is concerned that asylum seekers often must wait much longer than the legally permitted timeframe to receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Delays often result from overly broad interpretations by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the immigration courts of what constitutes "delay requested or caused by the applicant," which, pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 208.7(a)(2), causes the clock to stop. When applicants in removal proceedings request continuances to secure additional evidence or prepare for their hearings, the clock is properly stopped. However, after such applicant-caused delays have been cured, the applicants' asylum clocks are not adjusted at least until the next available hearing date, which—due to court backlogs—may be months or even years in the future. During this time, asylum applicants are prevented from obtaining work authorization and must either depend on the goodwill of others or work without authorization despite the inherent risks.
LAC files retroactivity-related briefs in two Ninth Circuit cases
Duran Gonzalez v. DHS, No. 09-35174
Carrillo de Palacios v. Holder, No. 09-72059
In August, the Legal Action Center co-filed briefs in two Ninth Circuit cases involving retroactivity—one concerning a longstanding class action over adjustment of status under INA § 245(i), and another on the accumulation of "unlawful presence" prior to the enactment of IIRIRA. In the first case, Duran Gonzalez v. DHS, the LAC submitted a supplemental brief requesting a remand to district court in light of the Ninth Circuit's recent decision in Nunez-Reyes v. Holder, which held that courts engaging in retroactivity analysis must consider the factors set forth in Chevron Oil Co. v. Huson, 404 U.S. 97 (1971). In a previous decision in the long-running class action, the Ninth Circuit reversed a prior opinion permitting certain noncitizens to adjust status under Section 245(i), but did not address whether the decision should apply retroactively to class members who relied on the prior decision.
In Carrillo de Palacios, the LAC co-filed an amicus brief in response to a decision holding that time spent in the United States prior to the enactment of IIRIRA can be counted toward periods of "unlawful presence." The brief contended that the Ninth Circuit's decision was incompatible with established Supreme Court retroactivity principles, and unfairly prejudiced noncitizens who left the United States prior to the enactment of the unlawful presence bars. The LAC asked that the court remand the case to the Board to clarify its position whether unlawful presence can be accumulated prior to the effective date of IIRIRA; rehear the case en banc; or withdraw the opinion pending resolution of another case involving a person's eligibility for adjustment of status—the outcome of which likely would affect the petitioner in Carrillo de Palacios.
Board issues long-awaited decision on right of K-2 visa holders to adjust status
Matter of Le, 25 I&N Dec. 541 (BIA 2011)
In its June decision in Matter of Le, the BIA resolved the issue of whether the child of a fiancée of a U.S. citizen (a K-2 visa holder), who legally entered the U.S. under the age of 21, is eligible for adjustment of status even after turning 21. The Board concluded that the age of the child is "fixed" at the time the child is admitted to the United States. In doing so, it rejected the Department of Homeland Security's position that a K-2 visa holder is eligible only if he or she is under 21 at the time the adjustment of status application is adjudicated.
The Board's decision is consistent with the position that the American Immigration Council and the American Immigration Lawyers Association advocated in amicus briefs submitted to the Board in approximately a half dozen other cases where the child turned 21 after being admitted to the United States. The noncitizens in these and many other cases before Immigration Judges or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices throughout the country now will be able to become lawful permanent residents as Congress intended.
- The LAC is monitoring implementation of the Board's recent decision in Matter of E-R-M-F- & A-S-M, 25 I&N Dec. 580 (BIA 2011), which held that noncitizens arrested without a warrant need not be advised of their rights under 8 C.F.R. 287.3(c)—including their right to counsel and notification that any statements made can be used against them—until after a Notice to Appear has been filed with an Immigration Court. Attorneys whose clients made inculpatory statements without the benefit of such warnings should contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- The LAC and the American Immigration Lawyers Association are monitoring implementation of the memoranda on prosecutorial discretion issued by ICE Director John Morton on June 17, 2011. If you have requested prosecutorial discretion on behalf of a client after June 17, or if you have discussed the memoranda with local ICE officials, please complete this survey about your experience. (Note: New questions have been added to the survey to reflect the August 18 announcement of the formation of a DHS-DOJ task force to review pending and future removal cases for compliance with existing priorities.)
- The LAC is currently drafting a practice advisory on the Ninth Circuit's decision in Dent v. Holder, No. 09-71987 (9th Cir. Nov. 9, 2010), which requires the government to provide respondents in removal proceedings with copies of their alien files (A-files). The LAC organized a recent conference call with advocates from around the country where participants shared experiences regarding the implementation of Dent both inside and outside the Ninth Circuit. We encourage other lawyers from all circuits to send reports of their efforts to use Dent to their clients' advantage firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Following reports that the Department of Labor (DOL) had temporarily suspended processing of prevailing wage determinations, Senior Staff Attorney Mary Kenney updated the LAC's practice advisory, "Mandamus Litigation Against DOL to Address Delays in Prevailing Wage Determinations and Labor Certifications" (Aug. 18, 2011). The practice advisory now discusses mandamus actions against DOL where delays involve either a prevailing wage determination or a labor certification.
- Senior Staff Attorney Mary Kenney updated the practice advisory, "Prosecutorial Discretion: How to Advocate for Your Client" (June 24, 2011).
- The LAC and Immigration Equality issued a practice advisory entitled "Protecting and Preserving the Rights of LGBT Families: DOMA, Dorman, and Immigration Strategies" (June 13, 2011).
- Law Fellow Ben Winograd criticized the BIA's recent decision in Matter of E-R-M-F- & A-S-M-, 25 I&N Dec. 580 (BIA 2011) ("Nation's Highest Immigration Court Says Government Can Ask Questions First, Explain Right to Silence Later," Aug. 16, 2011).

Hello WordPress Community!
I was hoping you guys could help me out. I wanted to add a download button the audio player, that allows the user to download the track that is being played in the audio player.
Any ideas how I can go about doing this?
Hello WordPress Community!
I was hoping you guys could help me out. I wanted to add a download button the audio player, that allows the user to download the track that is being played in the audio player.
Any ideas how I can go about doing this?
I figured out how to add a download link.
Use the WP plug-in editor to edit audio-player/audio-player.php. Find the sendToEditor() function, starting around line 696. In this short function, there's a block:
if (strlen($matches[5]) > 0) {
$html = preg_replace("/]$/i", "|titles=" . $matches[5] . "]", $html);
Add the following line immediately after that block:
$html .= " [download]";
This will insert a [download] link just after (or below) the player, when you use the "Add Audio" button in your post, then the "Audio Player" button, and finally the "Insert into Post" button. In your Audio Player plugin settings, "Replace [audio] syntax" must be enabled, and "Replace all links to mp3 files" must be disabled.
If you want a button, you could add a class to the link in the above code, and use some CSS to style it, or just hard code a button of your choice.
This is a pretty crude shortcut, but it does work.
Thanks man, you are awesome! Been waiting forever for a work around!
Much Appreciated,
Joe [ Signature moderated. ]
Yeah, now if I can only get this to work in WP version 3.3.2. :(
Mr. Shiv, did you figure out how to get it to work in 3.3.2?
Actually, it does work in 3.3.2 now. After a lot of frustration, I discovered that my hand-rolled theme had this crucial line in the wrong location:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
This bit of code should go in your header.php file. In my case, I was also using header.php to bring in some design elements from elsewhere on the site (i.e. outside of the WP blog portion of my site). Somehow this additional include() broke the functionality of wp_head(). After moving the wp_head() line down a bit in header.php, everything started working correctly.
I did this manually (once upon a time).. not hard if you don't have to enter too many :)
I did a walk through on my site back in 2008 :)
Add a download button to WordPress Audio Player.
You can find explicit instructions and a button to match the player.
Never got around to making it into a plugin.. (which I reckon I'd do if there were filter hooks inside Martins player)
hope it helps, tim

AH study session schedule questioned
The Airway Heights City Council may shake up its study session schedule in the near future.
Councilman Steven Lawrence asked if there was a way to look at council compensation, since the City Council had dropped its number of committee meetings from three to one, condensed into the monthly work session. City Manager Albert Tripp said he would look into the matter and bring some information to the next study session Monday, Sept. 23 at 5:30 p.m.
Other council members, including Barron Williamson and Kevin Richey, said their work hours occasionally prevented attendance at the monthly study session. That absence prevented their participation in discussions relating to issues facing the city.
"A weekly meeting would be a great idea," Richey said.
During the summer months, the study session agenda has been somewhat lighter than usual. As things move back to their regular pace, it was suggested that meeting twice a month would help spread items around and make agendas more efficient.
"As things pick up, it might be more efficient," Williamson said.
Also during the meeting, an interlocal agreement with Spokane County Sheriff's Office was approved. The agreement provides dispatch, forensics, SCOPE and property rooms among other services bundled together. Police Chief Lee Bennett said having the package deal was a cost savings to the city, as those services would otherwise charge on a per-hour basis depending on their use.
Richey recused himself from the final vote, due to his employment with the Sheriff's Office. The final vote was 6-0.
A second action item passed by the City Council was the reauthorization of a five-year contract between the city and Barr-Tech to remove biosolids produced at the wastewater treatment plant. The company would take the solids at a rate of $49.50 per wet ton, which is simply a renewal of the previous rate.

It was for Lock Day you ignoramous, I only had 5 hours to complete it. I used the brush tool, because for a movie that needs to be made in 5 hours, I'm not gonna spend 20 minutes on a perfect .fla.

Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick Caught Nearly Touching in Public!
The pair were spotted at a crowded concert — standing right next to each other! Plus, Lindsay Lohan trapped in the Bowery Hotel with Samantha Ronson, Guy Oseary selling another Madonna book, and more, in our daily gossip roundup.
Roommates and co-workers Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford ignored "hordes of flirty girls" and instead only hung out with each other at a recent show by the Ting Tings. Zachary Chodorow, 22-year-old Wharton grad and son of restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, is selling $20 Kobe-beef hot dogs outside Lily Pond nightclub in East Hampton between midnight and 4 a.m. (The club is right next door to his dad's Kobe Club.) Liz Sheridan, a.k.a. Jerry's mom on Seinfeld, wants to get Jerry to help her raise money for a movie about her brief engagement to James Dean, though she doesn't know how to get in touch with him. Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan were forced to climb down from atop the second-floor balcony of the Bowery Hotel because of a malfunctioning door. Howard Stern's sidekick, Robin Quivers, and her boyfriend, comedian Jim Florentine, broke up. Marc Jacobs and Brazilian boyfriend Lorenzo Martone got married in a non-binding civil solidarity pact in France.
Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, is coming out with a 224-page coffee-table book of photos from the singer's 2006 tour, though she cooperated with him. En route to a concert in Boston, George Michael was first delayed by the weather, then by Sting's private jet, and finally by Bruce Springsteen's private jet. Damien Hirst dropped $160,000 on a bunch of clothes he thought were designed by Sex Pistols founder Malcolm McLaren, but McLaren is now saying the garments are fake. The girl Shia LaBeouf was driving around at 3 a.m. when he got a DUI happens to be Isabel Lucas, the girlfriend of Adrian Grenier. Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn ate a Surf Lodge. Ryan Seacrest was bitten on a toe by a sand shark in Mexico. Serena Williams and Common are dating again.
