The Afro-British Slave Narrative: The Rhetoric of Freedom in the Kairos of Abolition
Date: December 1999
Creator: Evans, Dennis F.
Description: The dissertation argues that the development of the British abolition movement was based on the abolitionists' perception that their actions were kairotic; they attempted to shape their own kairos by taking temporal events and reinterpreting them to construct a kairotic process that led to a perceived fulfillment: abolition. Thus, the dissertation examines the rhetorical strategies used by white abolitionists to construct an abolitionist kairos that was designed to produce salvation for white Britons more than it was to help free blacks. The dissertation especially examines the three major texts produced by black persons living in England during the late eighteenth centuryIgnatius Sancho's Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho (1782), Ottobauh Cugoano's Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery (1787), and Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African (1789)to illustrate how black rhetoric was appropriated by whites to fulfill their own kairotic desires. By examining the rhetorical strategies employed in both white and black rhetorics, the dissertation illustrates how the abolitionists thought the movement was shaped by, and how they were shaping the movement through, kairotic time. While the dissertation contends that the abolition movement was rhetorically designed to provide redemption, ...

The Agolmirth Conspiracy
Date: December 1996
Creator: Elston, James C. (James Cary)
Description: Written in the tradition of the classic spy novels of Ian Fleming and the detective novels of Raymond Chandler, The Agolmirth Conspiracy represents the return to the thriller of its traditional elements of romanticism, humanism, fast-moving action, and taut suspense, and a move away from its cynicism and dehumanization as currently practiced by authors such as John Le Carre' and Tom Clancy. Stanford Torrance, an ex-cop raised on "old-fashioned" notions of uncompromising good and naked evil and largely ignorant of computer systems and high-tech ordinance, finds himself lost in a "modern" world of shadowy operatives, hidden agendas, and numerous double-crosses. He is nevertheless able to triumph over that world when he puts his own honor, his own dignity, and his very life on the line, proving to himself and to his adversaries that such things can still make things easier to see amid today's swirling moral fog.

The American Eve: Gender, Tragedy, and the American Dream
Date: May 1993
Creator: Long, Kim Martin
Description: America has adopted as its own the Eden myth, which has provided the mythology of the American dream. This New Garden of America, consequently, has been a masculine garden because of its dependence on the myth of the Fall. Implied in the American dream is the idea of a garden without Eve, or at least without Eve's sin, traditionally associated with sexuality. Our canonical literature has reflected these attitudes of devaluing feminine power or making it a negative force: The Scarlet Letter, Moby-Dick, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, and The Sound and the Fury. To recreate the Garden myth, Americans have had to reimagine Eve as the idealized virgin, earth mother and life-giver, or as Adam's loyal helpmeet, the silent figurehead. But Eve resists her new roles: Hester Prynne embellishes her scarlet letter and does not leave Boston; the feminine forces in Moby-Dick defeat the monomaniacal masculinity of Ahab; Miss Watson, the Widow Douglas, and Aunt Sally's threat of civilization chase Huck off to the territory despite the beckoning of the feminine river; Daisy retreats unscathed into her "white palace" after Gatsby's death; and Caddy tours Europe on the arm of a Nazi officer long after Quentin's suicide, ...

American Grotesque from Nineteenth Century to Modernism: the Latter's Acceptance of the Exceptional
Date: August 1994
Creator: Kisawadkorn, Kriengsak
Description: This dissertation explores a history of the grotesque and its meaning in art and literature along with those of its related term, the arabesque, since their co-existence, specifically in literature, is later treated by a well-known nineteenth-century American writer in Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque- Theories or views of the grotesque (used in literature), both in Europe and America, belong to twelve theorists of different eras, ranging from the sixteenth century to the present period, especially Modernism (approximately from 1910 to 1945)--Rabelais, Hegel, Scott, Wright, Hugo, Symonds, Ruskin, Santayana, Kayser, Bakhtin, (William Van) O'Connor, and Spiegel. My study examines the grotesque in American literature, as treated by both nineteenth-century writers--Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, and, significantly, by modernist writers--Anderson, West, and Steinbeck in Northern (or non-Southern) literature; Faulkner, McCullers, and (Flannery) O'Connor in Southern literature. I survey several novels and short stories of these American writers for their grotesqueries in characterization and episodes. The grotesque, as treated by these earlier American writers is often despised, feared, or mistrusted by other characters, but is the opposite in modernist fiction.

Animals-as-Trope in the Selected Fiction of Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison
Date: August 1999
Creator: Erickson, Stacy M.
Description: In this dissertation, I show how 20th century African-American women writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison utilize animals-as-trope in order to illustrate the writers' humanity and literary vision. In the texts that I have selected, I have found that animals-as-trope functions in two important ways: the first function of animal as trope is a pragmatic one, which serves to express the humanity of African Americans; and the second function of animal tropes in African-American women's fiction is relational and expresses these writers' "ethic of caring" that stems from their folk and womanist world view. Found primarily in slave narratives and in domestic fiction of the 19th and early 20th centuries, pragmatic animal metaphors and/or similes provide direct analogies between the treatment of African-Americans and animals. Here, these writers often engage in rhetoric that challenges pro-slavery apologists, who attempted to disprove the humanity of African-Americans by portraying them as animals fit to be enslaved. Animals, therefore, become the metaphor of both the abolitionist and the slavery apologist for all that is not human. The second function of animals-as-trope in the fiction of African-American women writers goes beyond the pragmatic goal of proving African-Americans's common humanity, even ...

Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Hell: the Rhetoric of Universality in Bessie Head
Date: May 1998
Creator: Edwards, George, Jr.
Description: This dissertation approaches the work of South African/Botswanan novelist Bessie Head, especially the novel A Question of Power, as positioned within the critical framework of the postcolonial paradigm, the genius of which accommodates both African and African American literature without recourse to racial essentialism. A central problematic of postcolonial literary criticism is the ideological stance postcolonial authors adopt with respect to the ideology of the metropolis, whether on the one hand the stances they adopt are collusive, or on the other oppositional. A key contested concept is that of universality, which has been widely regarded as a witting or unwitting tool of the metropolis, having the effect of denigrating the colonial subject. It is my thesis that Bessie Head, neither entirely collusive nor oppositional, advocates an Africanist universality that paradoxically eliminates the bias implicit in metropolitan universality.

The Apostasy (and Return) of Lenny Gorsuch
Date: August 1998
Creator: Guidici, Guy R.
Description: This comic romantic novel engages the question of how the Christianity of the southern, fundamentalist world of the Texas bible belt, finding its primary cultural assumptions about human existence challenged by the more confusing elements of a modern sensibility, a sensibility over-laden with strange-attractors, mechanistic psychologies, relativistic physics and ethics, evolutionary premises, newly proclaimed rights and freedoms, a deterioration in cultural political naivete, and the advent of an increasingly incomprehensible set of technologies, can survive. The "central" character is a young, slightly deformed man raised by his ostensibly "Christian" grandparents who, through a rather odd set of legal circumstances and physical events, not only become wealthy, but somewhat powerful in their immediate community. He finds himself involved with a young woman, raised in an equally "Christian" household, but, as is true of any romantic plot, the relationship between the two is destined, by virtue of circumstance and the meddling of other characters, to struggle and mishap. In the end, the text, in its own fashion, asserts that the Christian impulse can survive the modern era by virtue of one of its central tenets: faith, in the Christian world, is very much the same as life itself, a process of waiting ...

The Arrangement of Ezra Pound's Personae (1926) : An Interpretive Application of Editorial and Critical Theory
Date: December 1995
Creator: Salchak, Stephen P. (Stephen Patrick)
Description: Pound foregrounded the importance of "shaping" poetic books through particular arrangements of individual poems by using his ideogrammic method as the crucial organizational principle for constructing Personae (1926). Critics have long understood Pound's use of the ideogrammic method in individual poems, but have so far ignored his application of it to the structuring of poetic books and sequences. Lea Baechler and A. Walton Litz, the editors of a 1990 edition of Personae (1926), however, have moved a crucial section of poems, and their rearrangement of the original text both disregards evidence of authorial intention and obscures Pound's innovative principles for arranging his shorter poems into meaningful sequences.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 17th, 2012
Running Time: 104 Min.
Director: Francois Clousout
Company: Wicked Pictures
DVD Extras: Bonus Scenes
Cast: Steven St. Croix, Trinity St. Clair, Jessica Drake, Presley Hart, Marcus London, Richie Calhoun, Dane Cross, Brandy Aniston
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Romance
When Amy feels her husband has lost interest in her, she turns to her hot co-worker for some sexual validation. Feeling confident from the affair, she demands a divorce but soon finds that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Has she made a huge mistake? Is she crazy or just Crazy in Love?
Wicked contract performer/director Jessica Drake plays a MILF who cheats on and then dumps her dorky husband Steven St. Croix in favor of co-worker Marcus London only to learn that giving in to fantasies isn't always the best idea.
This is a light re-write of Crazy, Stupid, Love, the mainstream rom-com that starred Steve Carell and Julianne Moore. In this, Richie Calhoun plays the Ryan Gosling role of the player who teaches St. Croix how to get his cool back. The casting isn't great—St. Croix just isn't awkward enough to need Calhoun's tutelage and it's just too hard to buy Drake as a woman who has only been with one man in her life. There's still plenty to enjoy sexually—Clousot has made this look wonderful—and couples who aren't squicked by the cheating angle will enjoy this.
Drake goes balls deep on London's cock before a nice-looking 69 and some fine vag and anal pounding. Drake gives a great effort here and London loves Drake's body completely. Drake and St. Croix reunite with chemistry-rich vag on a couch.
Brandy Aniston gets to be St. Croix's bar pick-up here and she looks phenomenal getting fucked by him in spoon. Babysitter Presley Hart gets happily banged by boyfriend Dane Cross on a couch. She's crushed out on St. Croix

The NCAA Division I baseball committee convenes Friday in Indianapolis and immediately will take care of the most important items on its agenda.
"We try to get all our food ordered for the weekend and decide who the vegetarians are and make sure there are enough plates," said UNC Greensboro coach Mike Gaski, the only coach on the committee. "We actually get after it pretty good on Friday night."
The 10-man committee, which has discussed the field in conference calls each Monday for the last three weeks, will start trying to figure out which teams will host regional-round games and which will receive the 34 at-large tournament bids. First, it must sort out the 16 regional host sites, which will be announced on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET, and then fill out the entire field. The process takes all weekend, with the committee watching conference tournament games and making changes as late as Monday morning prior to the bracket unveiling (ESPN, 12:30 p.m. ET).
That job gets harder following a season that's featured as much parity and fewer favorites than any other since the 64-team field era began in 1999.
"Without a doubt, there's more parity," said Mississippi State athletic director Larry Templeton, who's serving his first year as committee chairman. "There seems to be fewer teams that are at the top that clearly have defined themselves, as opposed to most years. There's just a clog of teams in the middle, and it's who plays who on what weekend.
"You always say it's the most difficult year. We will spend a lot of time trying to pick out the final 16 teams. Picking the first 16 is real easy."
The committee's methods for making those decisions are often questioned by teams left out of the field.
California went 34-23 (13-11 Pac-10) last year and missed out, while Pac-10 foe Stanford made it in with a 32-23 (12-12) mark. The Golden Bears had won their last three conference series, including wins against Stanford and at Arizona, a Top 25 team. UNC Wilmington (40-19, 21-3 Colonial) and Troy (37-21, 23-7 Sun Belt) both won regular-season conference titles but lost early in league tournaments and were left out. And Cal Poly posted the same overall
(36-20) and Big West Conference record (14-7) as Long Beach State. Long Beach State played host to a regional as a No. 1 seed; Cal Poly didn't make the tournament.
"I was devastated that Troy didn't get in, and Wilmington won their regular-season title and didn't get in," Gaski said. "If you're [coaches] Bobby Pierce or Mark Scalf, you ask, 'What else could I have done?' It breaks my heart as a coach in a smaller league. I fight that battle.
"The only thing I can tell you is the sentiment was that those [that got in ahead of them] were the most deserving teams."
The schools that felt jilted all featured a common trait: Ratings Percentage Index figures outside of the top 45. Critics felt RPI was the overriding factor in those decisions, that a mathematical equation exerted more influence than it should have.
"It's just one of tools which I use," Templeton said. "That's the feeling of the committee. Unlike basketball, where you get to see so many games, we rely on advisory committees in each part of the country to help members rank those teams. I've got the SEC, Atlantic Sun and Sun Belt. What coaches on the advisory committee tell me gets as much input as RPI. What some people confuse is not only does RPI rank the teams, but we look at how did they do head-to-head with some other team we're comparing -- road and home records, records against the RPI top 60, record in the last 10 games.
"This would be a simple assignment if we strictly used the RPI. We could walk in the room and finish quickly."
Templeton's own school, Mississippi State, should provide an interesting case study of this process. The Bulldogs finished fifth in the SEC West with a 12-17 record (32-17 overall). But a top-40 RPI and the fact that nine SEC teams have made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two years give the team postseason hope. But an 8-16 finish, with losses in seven of the Bulldogs' final eight series and a 9-18 record against the RPI top 60 could dash that hope.
"If you're an SEC or ACC team this year, you better play well in the conference tournament," Gaski said. "This year, more than any other year, I would say making the NCAAs because you made the conference tournament is not a fait accompli."
If that viewpoint is held by the entire committee, it could represent a change in the makeup of the field. Teams from the ACC, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC earned 65 percent of the 34 at-large bids in 2004 and 2005 after meriting an average of 50 percent in the four previous seasons. In 2000, 20 teams from those conferences got bids to the tournament; in 2005, 26 teams from those leagues got in.
"The SEC and Big 12, and in the Pac-10 and ACC, baseball is really, really good and they invest a lot of money in their programs," Gaski said. "There's no power play. The committee is set up purposely to avoid that. It's too diverse for that. You've got a guy from the Ivy [Princeton senior associate athletic director Michael Cross], Big West [Cal State Fullerton AD Mike Quinn], I'm from the SoCon, a guy from Siena [AD John D'Argenio] from the Northeast Conference.
"But I'm after the growth of the sport. I'm after Elon and UNC Greensboro and College of Charleston recognizing that this is good for you [to spend money on the baseball program] and the investment is well worth it. That's where I think there's a real value to having more baseball coaches on the committee. We can do enough homework and be on the field to see Winthrop has really good pitching and Troy's got a closer who can pitch anywhere."
In the end, the selections come down to a numbers game.
"I don't know that we ever put the wrong team in," Gaski said. "Does it mean we've left out deserving teams? Yes. It's trying to get 55 teams in 34 spots."
It's great to be in the top eight
Since the NCAA Tournament field expanded to 64 teams in 1999, 66 percent of the teams earning one of the top eight national seeds have reached Omaha.
• Sixty-four percent won or shared a regular-season conference title, a figure that rises to 69 percent when factoring out independents.
• Twenty-five percent won their conference tournaments, a figure that rises to 40 percent when factoring out conferences with no postseason tournaments.
• Sixteen percent won both the regular-season and conference tournament titles, a figure that rises to 28 percent when factoring out independents and leagues with no postseason tournaments.
• National seeds have won 86 percent of their regionals.
• Four national seeds were eliminated before the CWS in 2004, three of them in the regionals.
• Twelve of the 14 teams (86 percent) to play in the championship game were national seeds, as were five of the champions.
• Cal State Fullerton (2004) is the only No. 2 seed to win the CWS.
• Texas (2005) won as a No. 1 seed that wasn't a national seed.
• Arizona State (2004) is the only national seed to play a road game in regional or super-regional play (it lost in the regionals).
• Here's a look at how the major conferences compare and how their teams have fared once awarded national seeds. The Colonial Athletic Association has had one team that was a national seed, East Carolina in 2001. ECU is now a member of Conference USA. Miami reached Omaha four times (in four selections as a national seed) as an independent before joining the Atlantic Coast Conference.

European Games Market Growing Faster than US Games Market
A 2012 report by Newzoo, a games market research firm, states that the European games market is growing faster than the United States games market. One major factor is because consumers have more devices to access their entertainment on. That along with a whole list of other factors is what is changing the games market.
There are four major devices that consumers are playing games on. They are PC, console, smartphones, and tablets. Of these four the biggest increase has been with smartphones and tablets. This pushes developers to offer their games on more devices.
With the increase of new devices it is changing the games market. The PC market is the most affected by this, because it grosses the most money. It is found that 22% American gamers and 21% European gamers are using all four devices.
Overall it is found that the games market in the United States has grown 1% and the games market in Europe has grown 3%. Along with consumers spreading their budget across different devices there are other reasons why the games market is changing.
These other reasons include that social network gaming is down 7% in the United States, Spain has become the fastest growing MMO market in Western Europe, the console market in Spain and Italy has grown by double digits, and spending on PC downloaded games is down in every country except Germany and Italy.
There are a lot of factors that are going into Europe having a larger growth in the games market than the United States. This is starting to show that games are becoming more accessible to people, because of more affordable devices.
Since more people are starting to have access to more games it would seem likely that the European games market would grow faster because more people live in Europe than in the United States, and hence there is a larger games market potential.

THE PHLEBOTOMY of the healthy donor is the simplest approach to the study of blood regeneration, since there is a controlled, known amount of blood loss and no impairment of hemopoiesis from disease. However, the measurement of blood regeneration after a single phlebotomy of 500 ml. is difficult because of the small change in red cell values, and this change is easily obscured by physiological fluctuations. Estimates of recovery time range from a few days1 to several months.2 Marked individual variation is found within any one group of donors; for example, Fowler and Barer2b noted recovery times of from 21 to 98 days among 63 subjects. In the present study repeated phlebotomies of donors have made it possible to establish a pattern of response, which can be applied to blood loss in general, be it of small or large amount.

Steve Hege
Billy - I just stumbled on to the tribute today that you left for Steve. What beautiful words! I don't think he ever believed that he made such an impact on his students. And thank you for taking the photo of the tombstone. I had signed on to this site not long before Steve died and then it kind of got lost in the shuffle. I see there are a lot of "missing people" in the New Bloomfield Cemetery. When the weather cools down a bit, maybe I can help fill in some of the blanks. BTW, I remember you as a baby when you lived just a few doors away. You were a beautful baby. Carol Pontius Hege

Anna Heck - Zion Lutheran Cemetery
The DOB & DOD for Anna Heck was obtained from church records, so I assume it is correct. Her original tombstone no longer exisits. Several years ago the cemetery association placed multiple tombstone markers listing the names of persons who are buried in the old section behind the church. Most of these people do not have individual markers. Thanks for the tombstone photograph for Anna Heck.

Chelcher Neal McFadden Cemetery?
Hi Billy, A photograph you added in January for Chelcher Neal McFadden (83211625) who you notd was in Section G. does not have a cemetery listed. Beckie Knisely (#47024716) added the memorial but did not place it in a cemetery because the obituary did not list one. What is the cemetery?
Thanks for your work in adding photos of the graves. Leo Shelley (#47444957)

This is something that I've been wondering a lot recently. I think that people would be more inclined to say something about things that they don't like about PC if they're given the opportunity to state it freely, and in a non-judgmental way and in a way that opens the chance of something changing from it. I don't want this to become a huge debate thread, because for some reason I'm uncertain of, whenever something negative is said about anything, more often than not, people generally jump to the defense of whatever it is and belittle opposing opinions.
The point of this thread, however, isn't to list things that you don't like about the forum. It's about creating an opportunity to fix the things that you don't like. So! Let's get started with some simple questions.
What are some things that you don't like about PokéCommunity that you would like to change?
Why don't you like this, if you have a reason at all?
What would you suggest doing to change the thing that you don't like?

As capital markets regulatory reform continues to sweep across the globe, one key area that's going to undergo significant change is messaging and communications. How firms will handle messages and integrate message types over different platforms and across regions remains at best a challenge and at worst a migraine headache.
In this Q&A, Ganesh Srinivasan, director of financial services solutions at Volante Technologies Inc., discusses the challenges with messaging in a newly regulated world, the limitations of today's message standards and what firms should do to manage through this rough terrain.

Representatives from four towns have begun discussions to create a regional animal control facility that could house cats, dogs and other animals from New London, Waterford, Montville and East Lyme.
Each town would maintain its own animal control officers and departments, but the facility, which could provide as many as 34 kennels, would be shared, according to Tammy Daugherty, New London's director of development and planning, who is heading up the consolidation efforts.
New London, Waterford and Montville have dog pounds that pre-date state building codes for animal control facilities, and all three need to be updated. East Lyme does not have its own facility, instead sharing space with Waterford.
"This really is a good thing,'' Waterford First Selectman Dan Steward said. "To me it sounds logical."
The group is discussing whether to renovate an existing facility in one of the towns, or to build a new one.
New London and Waterford both own property on Route 85 which could be a central location, according to both town representatives.
"One of the things we're trying to be mindful of is (that) we want the facility to be attractive for folks to come and adopt the animals, but it will still be a municipal facility, not a private rescue facility,'' Daughtery said.
"We want it good quality, but we don't need a Cadillac,'' Montville Mayor Ronald K. McDaniel said.
The cost of a facility has not been determined.
Waterford's shelter, on Route 1 near the town police department, is about 50 years old, Steward said. It shares its 10 stalls with East Lyme and there are usually about five dogs in the kennel from each town, he said.
Steward said Waterford and East Lyme have been working together for two years to raise money to build a new kennel. He said the two towns have raised about $120,000. Some of the funds could go toward planning and construction of a new facility, he said.
Montville's animal shelter is at the public works complex on Maple Avenue and also is in need of repair. The mayor, who was not sure how many dogs are housed at the facility, said he welcomes a discussion to create a centralized shelter.
"As we continue to make efforts as a region to pull together, we are pursuing regional solutions that make sense,'' McDaniel said. "It certainly makes sense to pool our resources and find a collaborative solution."
In New London, animals have been housed at surrounding towns' facilities since a tree fell on the Bates Woods dog pound during a storm last October.
Michael Martin, a New London animal control officer, made it safely out of the building, as did the seven dogs being held there. They were saved by the building's cinder-block walls.
The public works department recently finished repairing the Bates Woods facility, including putting on a new roof, but it remains closed.

Allman Brothers Band to Release Massive 'Fillmore East' Box Set
The historic 1971 performances the Allman Brothers Band gave at the Fillmore East will be captured in a new box set.
The historic 1971 performances the Allman Brothers Band gave at the Fillmore East will be captured in a new box set.
The Allman Brothers Band's excellent festival-closing set at Mountain Jam X has got to make fans wonder why they group is breaking up.
Gregg Allman speaks to us about the Allman Brothers Band's first two albums, their history at the Beacon and his favorite songwriters.
A news release confirms that the group's last live performances will be held October.
The guitarist talks to us about working with his wife, Susan Tedeschi, and being able to play with his heroes.
We spoke with one of the Allman Brothers Band's drummers about their upcoming performance at Mountain Jam and his solo project.
Gregg Allman had to pull out of the final quartet of appearances at the Beacon Theatre last March after a bout of bronchitis.
Contrary to what he said earlier this year, Gregg Allman reveals that the Allman Brothers Band are not breaking up.
On April 30, The Allman Brothers Band will release a live DVD that was recorded on the 40th anniversary of their first performance.
The Mountain Jam Festival, set for June 5-8 at Hunter Mountain, N.Y., has released its daily schedule of performers.
Bronchitis forced Gregg Allman to skip two Allman Brothers Shows this weekend.
As part of their final year of touring, the Allman Brothers Band will headline the 10th annual Mountain Jam Festival, which will take place June 5-8 at Hunter Mountain, N.Y.

No, it does not. Unfortunately all the major Android browsers that I know of -- Firefox, Opera, Dolphin, Skyfire -- don't appear to support it either. Firefox does support NTLM, and I'd expect it to support kerberos sooner or later.

The people in my family are potato fanatics. Potatoes are probably the most versatile vegetable and take on the flavors of whatever dish you're making, so well. I'm convinced my family could live on potatoes, onions, and tomatoes alone (and probably chilies, too).
I chose to make hash browns not only because they are so tasty when the potatoes crisp up, but because they are also one of the quickest ways to cook potatoes. The work is in the grating, but after that, they cook in about 10 minutes. It's fun shredding them too, as long as you have a good box grater. I think there is also a device to shred potatoes on a food processor which would probably cut the time in half at least.
I had to add some spice, to make it a little more homestyle and authentic. I also added some onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño, so I guess you could say it's a cross between hash browns and home fries, or as some breakfast places call them, "O'Briens." To make it a complete breakfast, I scrambled some eggs on the nonstick skillet, and I had a breakfast the family loved in no time. I would also suggest adding some fresh chopped tomatoes or fresh salsa to brighten all the flavors with freshness. It's perfect Sunday breakfast fare with friends or family, I hope you enjoy it!
Servings: Makes 10 healthy sized patties, serve 2 per person
*If your potatoes do turn a little brown before you cook them, they are still edible and tasty. But, you can opt to grate as you go to avoid this problem. Once the water is squeezed from the potato, it will turn a brownish color faster. Work faster, or in batches.

I have a website with multiple post categories (News, Speeches, In the Press), and I'm trying to consolidate all three categories into one single page called 'Media'. However, on my dashboard I'm only able to select one single post category.
Is there a simple way to display multiple categories on one single page? Thank you!

All Rise...
At night, Judge Mitchell Hattaway watches crappy movies about angels who disguise themselves as prostitutes. At dawn, he cries.
The Charge
A stylish, ambitious, brutally violent, action-packed horror epic.
Opening Statement
Good lord, is a new generation of filmmakers actually being influenced by amateur auteur Mark Borchardt?
Facts of the Case
A couple of drug dealers with thick Boston accents are turned into vampires by a couple of comely angels. Much bloodletting ensues. Then a demon shows up and reveals the angels' true intentions. More bloodletting ensues. Your humble reviewer begins to bemoan his fate. The slitting of his wrists almost ensues.
The Evidence
At Dawn They Sleep is just plain awful. It sucks, sucks, sucks. Out loud. We're talking ineptitude at every level. It is nothing more than an overlong home movie made by a couple of dopes who somehow managed to secure a distribution deal. Hey, that reminds me—I have some old Super 8 footage of my family's trip to Lion Country Safari. Is anyone out there willing to pony up some money for that?
The guys responsible for this travesty are Brian Paulin and Rich George, a couple of Boston buds with a soft spot for gore flicks and speed metal. They cobbled together five thousand bucks (four grand of which must have been spent on the wrap party), borrowed some equipment, called some friends, convinced a few women to get naked, and set out to create their magnum opus. Paulin and George come about as close to achieving true auteur status as is humanly possible. They produced the movie and took the lead roles. Paulin wrote the script, directed, edited, and served as cinematographer. George jumped in as stuntman and supervised the physical effects, while Paulin created the makeup and gore effects. Now that you know who's to blame, it's time to get on with the cheap shots.
Stephen (that would be Paulin) and Ian (that would be George) are supposed to be big time drug dealers, but they're the kind of big time drug dealers who live in an ordinary house in the sticks and drive a Pacer that's in dire need of a trip to Earl Scheib. They are surrounded by a stable of women who—no, wait, they're not. These criminal masterminds are forced to pick up twenty-bucks-a-night prostitutes. But these ladies are not really prostitutes; they are actually angels who are still pissed at God because they expected Him to give them control of the Earth following the end of the war between Heaven and Hell. These angels disguise themselves as hookers, turn their johns into vampires, and then send them out to rid the world of the virus that is humanity. (I'm not sure if this is the first time the angels have attempted this, and I don't think I'm supposed to ask.) Well, Stephen and Ian take to their new assignment with unbridled enthusiasm. They eviscerate a priest and drink his blood (but he had it coming: he was stealing from a charity) and then burn down his church (well, it's actually a model that probably came with a Lionel train set). They also attempt to exact revenge on a rival dealer, but they end up turning him and his cronies into vampires. (Oddly enough, this rival dealer owns the exact same car as Stephen and Ian.) Oh, I almost forgot—intercut with shots of that burning church is footage of an angel and a nun having lesbian sex, after which the angel proceeds to eat the nun's intestines.
It's only after all this has gone down that the demon lord Lynxvosmia shows up and tells Stephen what the angels are really up to. See, Ian and Stephen were promised eternal life, but the demon says the angels will actual banish the friends to eternal limbo. Lynxvosmia asks Stephen to help him kill the angels, which will allow the demon to gain access to a higher plane of existence, which will then allow him to…well, that's when things get a little fuzzy. I am not exactly sure why Lynxvosmia wants to gain access to a higher plane of existence. What I do know is that Lynxvosmia promises Stephen true eternal life, which I guess means there really is a sucker born every minute. Stephen then drinks some of the demon's blood, vomits up some of that green slime they use on Nickelodeon, kills an angel by crushing her sternum (who knew it would be so easy?), and eats a baby made of Play-Doh. This is followed by a fight between Stephen and Ian (who has now fallen in love with the Goth-chick angel who made him a vampire) in which they destroy a power plant and some transformers (or at least, some more Lionel train models), after which they crash into their house, and Ian uses a sword to kill his former best friend. Lynxvosmia shows up, impales the Goth-chick angel (oh, I forgot to mention Stephen had tied her up and left her in his closet), who in death is transformed into a bright light that swallows the demon. Ian then dissolves.
Wait, it's not over! The remaining angels come up with a new plan. They put on their lingerie and head into the woods. One of the angels lies on the ground and covers herself with a (plastic) branch. The other pulls out a sword (the same one Ian used to kill Stephen) and slices open a tree limb. Tree sap pours down onto her chest; it then dribbles off her and splashes onto the chest of the other angel, who is now completely naked (except for her high school class ring) and pleasuring herself. The ground suddenly starts smoking. A decay-covered skeleton emerges from the smoke, sees the angel on the ground, and mounts her. (I almost forgot—there's a nosy possum watching everything from a nearby tree.) The skeleton and the angel simultaneously climax. The skeleton begins spewing bile from its mouth; it then falls to the ground and shatters. The angel sits up and fixes her hair. A rain of blood falls from the sky. Now it's over.
I almost feel bad about this review. Almost. Here are a couple of guys who just want to make movies, and along comes someone like me to make fun of them. Please forgive me, but I cannot help myself. It is obvious Paulin and George simply do not know what they're doing. Yeah, their budget was small, and their equipment was cheap, and their cast was populated by a bunch of, to put it mildly, non-actors. But the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and apparently so is the road to straight-to-DVD obscurity. It would be one thing if these guys had any discernable talent, but they don't (which probably explains why they were later hired to helm the Misty Mundae-starring Mummy Raider). There is nothing here to suggest they could ever make a good movie. The plotting is inane, and the pretentious dialogue is worthy of more than a few groans. (One early scene contains a long, pointless diatribe regarding people who let MTV influence their musical tastes, which is followed by a diatribe regarding the sellouts in Metallica, which is then followed by a juvenile, tasteless diatribe regarding the sexual orientation of anyone who happens to be a fan of that band.) Paulin (who looks like the bastard child of Kids in the Hall alumnus Bruce McCulloch and Axl Rose) and George (who looks like he could be a roadie for Journey) can't act, nor can any of the other cast members. As for Paulin's skills behind the camera—well, he apparently knows how to turn the camera on and off, but other than that he has nothing going for him. (Paulin is smart enough to give himself two scenes with naked women, but he is not smart enough to leave well enough alone and simply shoot the nude scenes. Nope, this is when actually decides to get all arty and move his camera around, which makes it hard to see what is happening. Let's face it, female nudity is one of the major selling points of this movie, so why obscure it?) And the action scenes! Driverless cars crashing into one another! (I guess they tied bricks to the gas pedals.) Guys firing forty rounds without reloading their guns! (There are no muzzle flashes during the shootouts. The flashes on these guns pop up near the ejection ports.) Vampires flying through the air! (The flying effects are achieved by having Paulin and George lie on a table while a fog machine blows across their faces.) Remember what I said about George serving as stuntman? Well, this leads to a really funny bit in which a seventy-year-old, soon-to-be-vampire-meat priest dressed in a black suit suddenly becomes the twenty-something George, who is dressed in black jeans and a burgundy jacket. Heh-heh.
Oh, yeah, one more thing—some of the gore effects are passable, but the makeup work is pretty cheesy, not to mention derivative: Lynxvosmia, whose horns wiggle whenever he moves, looks like the anorexic younger brother of Darkness from Legend, and Ian's rebirth as a vampire resembles, of all things, the botched cocoon bit from This is Spinal Tap.
Okay, let's move on to the disc itself. The transfer is a mixed bag; many daytime exterior shots look pretty good, but most of the interior shots are mediocre, and nighttime shots look quite bad. The stereo audio track, which is actually hollow, tinny-sounding mono, is rife with cracks, pops, hiss and distortion (so much so that at several points I thought my speakers were frying). Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette that's almost as inept as the movie itself, some bloopers, and a couple of photo galleries, one of which features the women who portrayed the angels in various states of undress. There's also Damnation, a short film that features more female nudity intercut with some nonsensical footage of demons cavorting in trees. Lastly, there's a commentary by Brian Paulin and Rich George. They go on about how proud they are of the film, how most of it turned out better than they thought it would, and how great the effects are (yeah, they're delusional). They plug the bands whose music they employ on the soundtrack (bands you've never heard of, nor will you ever hear of them), and how they had to wait for Paulin's parents to go on vacation before they could start messing up the house. They also invite anyone who is interested to check out their latest movie, which, thankfully, has yet to find a title or distributor. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed.)
Closing Statement
Given the subject matter, I can think of only one phrase to describe At Dawn They Sleep: holy crap.

Reviews for Autism Speaks Inc
Northwest Insurance Brokers is proud to team up with Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance Company and donate to the Autism Speaks Inc. I personally want to say this is close to my heart with my niece having 3 boys with some form of Autism. So Amie this is in your behalf and your family.

If I could rate AS with zero stars, I would. AS is generally hated by individuals with Autism as they ignore the voice of the very individuals they profess to speak for. The AS walks raise thousands of dollars in communities yet fail to return the funds to the very people who need it the most. Their executives make obscene salaries for a non-profit and not a single individual with Autism is on their board. Money donated will NOT benefit those with Autism nor will it benefit the families. This organization is a sham! Donate your hard earned money to ANYONE else!
5 people found this review helpful
This "nonprofit" spreads highly dangerous propaganda heavily prejudiced against autistic people. "Autism Speaks" is run by nigh-exclusively non-autistic people, and pushes an abusive and harmful "cure"-centric agenda, whereas the overwhelming majority of autistic people believe that a "cure" would amount to abusively removing the personalities of autistic people, or committing genocide with ableist motives. Very little money or effort is spent by these people trying to sincerely improve the lives of autistic people, and the organization still continues to spread unwarranted fear, hatred, and falsehoods of autism, and therefore, autistic people.

This group advocates for the eugenics of autistic people, tries to scare parents of autistic children through its ads, does not actually let autistic people speak as there are no autistic people on its board, and contributes very little of its donations to improving the lives of autistic children, teens, and adults.
6 people found this review helpful
Autism Speaks ignores autistic voices and exploits autistic people for personal gain. They do not care about the very people they claim to support and don't even have any autistic people on staff who can see them for what they really are. Autism Speaks hurts the autistic community through lies, exploitation and ultimately eugenics.

I wish I could give this "charity" zero stars! Autism Speaks is a hate group that uses almost all of its resources making money for themselves and supporting the dehumanization and torture (according to the UN) of Autistic people. People talk about the 4% statistic all the time to show that AS does not do enough for the community. I'd argue even less than that, since their idea of "support" includes supporting abusive "therapies" like ABA and organizations like the Judge Rotenburg Center that have been condemned by the UN multiple times. The recent appointment of 2 Autistic board members is one tiny step in the right direction, but it doesn't really change anything. They don't care and they don't listen (ironic, considering their slogan).
If you really want to help, please donate or volunteer for good Autism charities that fight ableism and dehumanization, such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network or Autistic Women's Network.

This organization (it isn't really a charity) spends more time--and money!-- fearmongering than anything else. In addition, they advocate for the wiping out of an entire subset of people--those of us with autism.

I resigned from my position with Autism Speaks because of there lack of ethics. I have a brother with Autism and had high hopes of making a difference for him and other like him. I was sickened to find out that the attitude toward family members is just the opposite. Maybe because we see their greed. I remember when there were parents leading the organization but now the leaders in NY only care about the money to pay the salaries of their unqualified friends hired at the top to replace those undervalued parents. They don't want family on staff and they make that clear! Very disappointing! I would not give them a cent

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Fire everyone at the top and hire more family members that have passion

I had to come here to review Autism $peaks again because the cowards disabled their rating on Facebook when Autistic people spoke out about how dissatisfied they are with this so called "organization" who calls us broken and burdens. Autism $peaks does nothing but spread lies and silence autistics. We have had enough and WON'T be silenced any longer!!
11 people found this review helpful
Autism Speaks does not speak for me! I have autism and can speak for myself. All Autism Speaks has done is dehumanize me and others with my condition (presenting us as burdens or as a "reverse lottery ticket"), and use its money and clout to crowd out and silence autistic charity organizations that are actually staffed by and supported by those with autism. If you really want to help those with Autism, start by boycotting Autism Speaks!
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Insist on the presence of autistic people in meaningful positions, and that every movie and press release is screened for approval by those with autism to avoid a repeat of travesties like the film "I am Autism"
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A lot
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I'm almost sure it's 36 thousands, since we're talking about 36 not 1. But I'm in doubt because 36 already indicates that it's more than 1, so maybe, just maybe, it could be 36 thousand?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Oh, The grand old Duke of York,
You can have thousands of soldiers, but when you are being exact, you have n thousand of them. same for hundreds, dozens or millions.
To explain a bit: the word 'thousand' is part of the number, which is modifying the noun (whatever it is that you're counting). Because the number is greater than 1, the noun takes the plural form, but the number itself does not change form. Would you say "sixteens men" because sixteen is greater than one? I certainly hope not. "Sixteen thousand" is still a number, just like "sixteen" is; just because it's expressed in two words doesn't make you treat the individual words differently.
36 Thousand.
If it were some other noun, i.e. not just a number, then perhaps thousands would be appropriate — e.g. 36 pots of 'hundreds and thousands'.
But otherwise, thousand is the norm.
It's 36 thousand, because that is the naming convention in our number system. We do not say "two hundreds;" rather we say "two hundred."
When number + thousand precedes a noun (e.g. Dollar, Rupee or Taka), it already acts as a compound adjective which cannot take plural 's'... but when it doesn't work attributively, it's of hazy currency in south Asia: d govt. Sanctioned a bill of 50 crores/ laks/ thousands (besides crore/lak/thousand)

Forecasting outcomes in spread betting markets: can bettors use 'quarbs' to beat the book?
In this paper, we examine a relatively novel form of gambling, spread (or index) betting that overlaps with practices in conventional financial markets. In this form of betting, a number of bookmakers quote bid-offer spreads about the result of some future event. Bettors may buy (sell) at the top (bottom) end of a spread. We hypothesize that the existence of an outlying spread may provide uninformed traders with forecasting information that can be used to develop improved trading strategies. Using data from a popular spread betting market in the United Kingdom, we find that the price obtaining at the market mid-point does indeed provide a better forecast of asset values than that implied in the outlying spread. We further show that this information can be used to develop trading strategies leading to returns that are consistently positive and superior to those from noise trading.

I created two custom post types, Traits & Blog.
