The Portofino Automatic in its 40-millimetre case is offered in four red gold, four stainless-steel, and one white gold version, each of which is available with or without a diamond-set bezel. So the fact that this classic is now available in a more opulent design will no doubt come as good news to devotees of timelessly designed wristwatches.
Good things come in threes especially hands
Stainless-steel casing with black alligator leather strap
18-carat red gold with dark brown alligator leather strap
Watch features sapphire glass and date display
The 72 sparkling stones on the bezel are of the highest quality and give the Portofino Automatic a touch of luxury.
The model is available in four red gold, four stainless-steel, and one white gold version.
Simply classic. For many years this formula has been the secret of the Portofino Automatic's success. Three hands and a discreet day display: as the watch of choice for the discerning purist, it needs no more. The solid, mechanical automatic movement reliably ticks away the time. The evenly rounded sides of the 40-millimetre case make it appear even slimmer. The red-gold version is available with a silver-plated or slate-coloured dial and is decorated on the back with an exquisite engraving showing a view of the harbour at Portofino. The stainless-steel models with silver-plated or black dials are available with a choice of alligator leather straps or a Milanaise mesh bracelet in stainless steel.
This year, the Portofino Automatic collection will be extended to include, for the first time, three exquisite models in red gold and a white gold version with a diamond-set bezel and Santoni alligator leather strap. The sun-pattern finish on the dial underscores the luxurious appearance of these timepieces. The reverse side of the case is also decorated with an exquisite engraving showing a view of the Portofino harbour.

FILM REVIEW: "The Expendables"
'The Expendables' brings a bit of nostalgia
Published: Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 1:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 1:29 p.m.
"The Expendables" is an exercise in nostalgia for the bygone era of muscly, macho action films. It's willfully out of date, like an aging hair band that can't pack away the spandex.
Film facts
"The Expendables," a Lionsgate release, is rated R for strong action and bloody violence throughout, and for some language. Running time: 103 minutes.
The film opens Aug. 13 at AMC Houma Palace 10, 5737 W. Park Ave. For showings and ticket prices, call 1-888-AMC-4FUN or visit www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com.
One and a half stars out of four.
Sylvester Stallone, the director, co-writer and star, has said he set out to make a movie "with brains and brawn, not modern technology."
Stallone thus comes across as a kind of Rip Van Winkle, had Van Winkle only been a die-hard Guns 'N Roses fan. "The Expendables" is awash in motorcycles, tattoos, black leather, glistening biceps and big guns. Though the "Rambo" star's suggestion that contemporary movies have lost something of their masculinity and authenticity bears some truth, surely the answer isn't to pretend the last two decades never happened.
But here we are with "The Expendables," which immediately — and without irony — announces its defense of such kitsch with, yes, a fade to a full moon.
Stallone is Barney Ross, the leader of a group of mercenaries who are played by most of the remaining defenders of high body count, testosterone-filled action: the British action star Jason Statham (blade expert Lee Christmas), the Chinese martial artist Jet Li (as Yin Yang), WWE wrestler Steve Austin (Paine), ultimate fighter Randy Couture (Toll Road), former NFL player and Old Spice commercial actor Terry Crews (as the absurdly named Hale Caesar) and Dolph Lundgren, famously the Russian boxer Ivan Drago from the "Rocky" films (as the loose cannon Gunner Jensen).
But the "all-star" action lineup also includes cameos from Bruce Willis (as a contractor) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (as a rival mercenary). Schwarzenegger makes a brief appearance, entering through a light-soaked doorway like an action film angel. The scene is played for as many wink-wink laughs as possible; as he exits, Willis' character wonders what his problem is, while Barney wryly replies: "He wants to be president."
The most respected actor to be summoned for duty is Mickey Rourke, who plays the group's job hunter, a grizzled former mercenary named Tool. It's a testament to Rourke's abilities that he somehow manages to move through "The Expendables" enlivening it with old warrior wisdom (in a monologue, he says he's dead inside, "Dracula dead") while still maintaining his dignity.
The crew is hired out to storm the fictional Caribbean island of Vilena, where a corrupt general (the usually comedic David Zayas) and a villainous, rogue CIA agent (the well chosen Eric Roberts) are in power. The general's daughter (Giselle Itie) is leading a resistance, and she quickly becomes a focal point of the mission ("Bad Shakespeare," notes Roberts' character).
There are the slightest of political undertones: The mercenaries — perhaps like America — have become too soulless in their warring occupation. There's a gratuitous waterboading scene, as well. The possibility of redemption hangs in saving Vilena.
But the world of "The Expendables" has shockingly little connection to anything like the real world. The principle setting on Vilena is a military compound like that of any "Rambo" movie or shoot 'em up video game: cargo boxes, sand bags and watch towers — all of your cliché fodder for explosions.
"The Expendables," too, has the shallowest of world views. There's little room for women (Charisma Carpenter plays Lee Christmas' cheating girlfriend, who quickly recedes from the film) and the men are most comfortable bantering with each other and cheering knife-throwing contests. Morality isn't complicated, the only really firm rule being that hitting women is intolerable — quite the moral stance.
Frequently, "The Expendables" is so incoherent, even on its own terms, as to be laughable. Menacing one-liners (like the one after a traitorous minion is shot: "Now we can see the inside of him, and I see lies!") and poor production values made me wonder if I walked into not a movie theater but a time warp. This is a movie world where irony never happened.
But that Stallone can be so ardent about returning to this kind of film gives "The Expendables" a strange charm. It's absurd, easy to make fun of and remarkably out of touch. But one imagines it's exactly the movie Stallone wanted to make. He loves this stuff, and one is inclined to allow him his quixotic, boyish dream where he is forever leaping through explosions and killing bad guys.

Ok, so I went to SunRay and became a Broker, ya, they call it a referral Program and I made a LOT of sales only for SunRay to pay on profits not the wohole sale, no where did they sayu that so after selling over $200,000 I only got three thousand dollars and in 2 instalments. John Susnik (scum bay) manager there said that they were having banking issues ---- right more like cash flow problems to me!
Oh, John is a smooth talker, he has all the right things to say to keep you hooked. He likes to use the 3M name a lot!
OK, so I said to myself, well this 3M window tint is pretty good stuff, so I will become a 3M dealer. NO WAY . SunRay is pushing me to buy a SunRay franchise business, like who the hell is SunRay. Everyone knows 3M, so I want to become a 3M dealer. Man oh man did that ever get SunRay people upset. John kept calling me saying how good his business is and I can make a million $ inside of a year. If that is true than why didn't he make a million dollars?
I contacted 3M and they said that I dont have to buy a business from SunRay just buy their films. So SunRay is a Scam!
Ok, so is 3M films any good, not really there are all kinds of window tints that are better. So in my book SunRay is using the 3M name to sell franchises and 3M dont care. SunRay owes me money and they wont pay. I cant get it from 3M because I was selling the 3M tints for SunRay. So I am screwed.
Stay away from SunRay! And I am NOT afraid to put my name to this report!

AUTHOR: Mr. John Susnik - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 06, 2009POSTED: Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Sunray Window Films has never entered into a franchise agreement with ANYONE at any time. Who are you, Mr. Workman (if that is indeed your name) and exactly what line of work are you in? Certainly anyone who would be asked to represent Sunray would at minimum know how to spell, how to formulate a cohesive thought and how to project a professional image.
Sunray has qualification standards that most window film companies cannot copy, follow, or understand. We take pride in our work and stand by our products. Can you say this about your business practices "Mr. Workman"?! Probably not.
Sunray is in good standing with any and all business partners, vendors and creditors maintaining an impeccable credit score and history. We are a legitimate organization subscribing to the strictest codes of ethical conduct. I would suppose that if this were a real person - Mr. Dan Workman - and if he had his own company or were a part of a real organization he would not hide behind the ambiguity of a fictitious name and a mythical complaint to take pot-shots at someone.
I know that people do understand that it takes real talent, commitment, honesty and dedication to run a business for 15 years and make money - especially in today's challenging economy!
I am not afraid to put my real name, John Susnik, website information, http://www.sunrayfilms.com, and my telephone number 216-738-7070 on this Rebuttal Report!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

An endogenous retrovirus, long dormant in the human DNA, was triggered into an active status. Steve Spalding, a Border Patrol Agent, experienced one of the early cases along the Mexican border. Two illegal border-crossers died unexpectedly in a holding cell in the Lordsburg, New Mexico Border Patrol station. Their corpses moved. Within a couple weeks, the virus responsible for the reanimation of the recent dead developed into a worldwide pandemic. It evolved rapidly. The dead displayed improved cognitive and motor skills. Steve and his new bride, on their honeymoon in Italy, witnessed a breakout of the pandemic and worked their way to return back to the States. The panic in Italy was palpable; international borders were closing. Like most travelers, the Spaldings attempted to change their return flight. After some difficulty, they did manage to get back to the USA and, eventually, New Mexico. The flights back were not without a number of horrific encounters with the dead, some on planes. In a parallel timeline, the CDC was working diligently to find a timely cure for the disease. We learn about the pathogen from scenes at the CDC, including its potential origin, type, power, cure and evolution. We also find there is a link between a main character at the CDC and a man and his family from Silver City, New Mexico, where Steve and Ellen Spalding have taken refuge, having saved his daughter and a number of her high school friends. The man's past makes him a good choice to be ready to withstand the onslaught of the horde of walking dead which makes daily assaults on the armed compound. The situation grows more serious when the infected display characteristics of the dead. One member in the small group who was fortunate enough to take refuge may be the answer to stopping the disease. Assaults on the compound by ever-increasing numbers of zombies, and even a roving band of heavily armed thugs, bring the groups' long term existence into question. Then, a final siege by the dead. Who lives and dies will provide the answers. Or will it?

Great Hotel will stay again
Wonderful staff and location. You don't really have to leave this hotel if you want a nice place to eat, relax, swim, enjoy spa services, and have nightlife entertainment options. So many attentive and awesome staff members, Blair, Jenna and Mark (at the pool bar!!!) to name a few! Even the nice man who brought sheets to us for a pull out bed at midnight was on point, and perfect. One thing to note, you do have to pay $9.99 a day for wifi which is really really quite odd. Lovely indoor pool and spa has a nice relaxation room that is large that anyone can enjoy even if you are not staying there.
Great service and well appointed. I had booked a suite with powder room and 2 queen beds (on room description through hotels.com, but the room I was given did not have that. I didn't want to change, and although a little disappointed, the room was really perfect. Very large, with all you could ask for. Pool are could use a revamp, and loose the plastic cups! Would be nice to see cruelty free, non toxic bathroom amenities. I would definitely stay again, and recommend.

Risk of Kander's finding an acquisition is gone and its trading at a lower valuation than at times when it had previously been a shell!This current price is a joke and I think it is happening for a few reasons.1. Fixation on the $6 per share price agreed on in the Gregory purchase2. Major seller clearing out at $6... given the enormous volume yesterday the needle did not move up and down much AT ALL3. Not enough eyes. Not enough people have been following this... clearly many of us thought it was dirt cheap with the deal search risk out of the way but not enough of us to overtake a major shareholder and then some.3. Uncertainty on operating metrics4. Risk that Kander's paid too much for his own asset (gregory) ... self dealing (mitigant: it was the lessor of the two)Last two points are the only actual concerns the first two are market inefficiencies and I believe the actual price driver here is the first two points.Now that deal risk is out and price has not moved much I think many shareholders will get a bit nervous since they expected a quick 2x on a deal announcement. Unless this stock gets some more outside attention I would say expect more bargain deals before listing.Side note... anyone scratching there head and wondering how the NOLs were preserved through all of this? In particular the $22.5 million issued in clarus stock.... from what I have read ownership can not swing that much or you could lose all the NOLs, maybe Kander's was pairing down his position so this isn't an issue?
MCD:FWIW and IMESHO your point # 3 is the most significant one here.We simply do not have much visibility and most importantly for as long as we are on the pink sheets we will not get much institutional buying beyond the few speculative hedgies out there.IMHO, our little pup is pretty much an ARB game at this time till the deal is closed on Friday May 28, 2010. It is my projection and guess that we will start trading on a regular exchange, either the NYSE or Nasdaq come Tuesday June 1, 2010. Until that time the smart arb money OR some of the Black Diamond folks will be buying this thing anytime someone wants to sell under $ 6.
It will uplist, to what exchange I will not speculate.These are complimentary companies and I love adding comp. products into the larger slaes channel.Again, I like the combination and i believe the stock will move higher.
Plus, the Black Diamond execs are rolling equity into the deal at $6--another positive.In addition, I doubt we are not stopping at two acquisitions here. This is the large platform. Kanders will be creating a large outdoor conglomerate.
Also, forgot to mention. Clearly they would picked the cheapest valuation they can justify in this situation... obviously they would have done 5$ a share if they thought they could get away with it both black diamond & the gregory sale. This dilution is taking some of our upside of course but for this to trade at or below $6 is nonsense.

GMC Sierra 1500 HD RecallsPassenger Frontal Air Bag Inflator Ruptures On Deployment
The passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture on deployment, causing metal fragments to come through the air bag and injure occupants. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge to resolve the concern.
The heated washer module under the hood could overheat due to excessive current draw. Under certain conditions, this could result in an under hood fire. This previous recall attempt in 2008 to repair this concern did not have the expected success. Dealers will now permanently disable and remove the heated washer module to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on June 20, 2010.
The wiring to the washer system heater may overheat due to a failure in the heater module. This could cause other electrical features to malfunction, smoke to develop, and an electrical fire could result. Dealers will install a wire harness with an inline fuse to protect the washer heater module. This recall is expected to begin on September 12, 2008. The General Motors recall number is 08048.

Talk:Gastro Acid (move)
Effect on Steel-type
Should we mentioned Gastro Acid also work on Steel-type despite as a Poison-type move? in my test, a wild Weepinbell can cancel my Magnezone 's ability.chungkingpun 07:20, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Though it's long since this question was posed, since it wasn't answered... no. Sand-Attack works on Flying-types and Pokémon with Levitate. Seems the only immunity preserved for status moves is Ground to Electric. TTEchidna 04:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've noted this on Damage modification, as most status moves are exempt from type matchups altogether; Thunder Wave has always been one of the exceptions. --Stratelier 19:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Is it known for sure whether or not this move can hit your partner in a double or triple battle? LimeGreenCharizard♂ 12:33, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Slow Start?
- "Furthermore, Gastro Acid does not negate Abilities that have an immediate effect at the start of the battle, such as Drizzle, because the Ability will activate before Gastro Acid can even be used."
Well, Slow Start _is_ activated at the very beginning, yet it's still undone by Gastro Acid. --Det (talk) 11:52, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Works on Primal Kyogre/Groudon/Mega Rayquaza's Abilities
Oddly enough this move even seems to work on the Mega/Primal Evolutions of the Hoenn Legendary Trio in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (on the abilities Primordial Sea, Desolate Land, and Delta Stream, respectively). After these abilities are suppressed, the special weather conditions are immediately removed. I gotta say, while I was very surprised that it worked, it made catching Primal Kyogre SO much easier... --Ulithium Dragon (talk) 22:55, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
I feel like the "Trivia" section should be amended to point out that this move works on legendary Pokemon's weather effect moves (I just tested and it works on the abilities from the X and Y pokemon (I don't feel like trying to spell THOSE names)), but I wanted to ask other people's thoughts first, since I've noticed the staff on here can be pretty fierce in making sure no non-relevant information gets put on the pages... --Ulithium Dragon (talk) 23:07, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

While Jason Heyward and Stephen Strasburg may be receiving more notoriety entering this season, the Brewers have their own super prospect in Alcides Escobar.
Heyward and Strasburg will get all the national press and be touted as the next big things, but Escobar is the one that could very easily win the NL Rookie of the Year and amaze fans around the league this year.
Escobar has been compared defensively to fellow Venezuelan great, Omar Vizquel. He has the speed and range to get to any ball hit in the hole, and his arm is as strong as any shortstop in baseball.
The Brewers were so confident in Escobar's abilities that they traded JJ Hardy to the Twins over the winter. Truth be told, Escobar's defense has been ready for the majors for a couple years. He just needed to improve at the plate in order to be given the job.
Escobar showed his offense caught up to his defense when given the opportunity last year. In 38 games, he hit .304 with 38 hits and 20 runs scored.
While he only stole four bases, speed is a major part of his game. In 647 career minor league games, Escobar stole 176 bases. It's unknown if manager Ken Macha will let him showcase his speed. He's expected to hit Escobar eighth or ninth, and he may not be allowed to run as much as everyone hopes for.
If spring training can be used as a base for what may happen in the regular season, Escobar will have an outstanding season. In 10 games so far, he's hitting .406, has an on-base percentage of .412, and is slugging .594. He has nine RBI and four extra-base hits.
He could eventually add power to his game, but for now his power comes in the form of doubles and triples. The 23-year-old has a frame that could add muscle, but doing so may take away from his speed game. Fans should be content for a lot of doubles and double-digit triples.
The one aspect of his game that needs the most work is his plate discipline. Escobar walked only four times with the Brewers last season and just once this spring. If he can limit his strikeouts and improve his walk rate, he could very quickly slot himself behind Hanley Ramirez as the best shortstop in the National League.
Should he learn to get on base more, he could eventually replace Rickie Weeks at the top of the order and move Weeks down into more of a run-producing spot in the lineup. That move is still a year or two away, but the foundation for such a swap will begin this year.
It's dangerous to make a prediction for such a young player like Escobar. He could just as easily hit .300 and win a Gold Glove as he could hit .220 and make 30 errors in the field.
Based on his continued improvement in the minors and his success in Milwaukee, expect his numbers to be closer to the former and not the latter. Fans should expect around a .280 average with at least 40 extra-base hits. Add in countless spectacular plays in the field, and it's easy to see Escobar being a front-runner in the rookie class.
The Brewers have seen a ton of young talent take the field over the past few seasons. Players like Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder have established themselves as superstars, while others like Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks have struggled with injuries and inconsistency.
Alcides Escobar may never put up the power numbers of Braun or Fielder, but that doesn't mean he won't be just as valuable as the current faces of the franchise. He will bring an excitement to the team that fans haven't seen in Milwaukee for a very long time.

Has now hit support, maybe now accumlative stage set in, and stock moves up. Correction usually take from one third to one half??? TA people outhere???
Looks like they're having their semi-annual sale - best deal outside of Nordstrom's annual shoe sale!(long TCK since '05, core position all free shares)
I still like TCK.. It is now int he bargain basement value range ofall my commodity holdings. Been adding more frequently.I'm no longer shocked on the upside or downside.. Just learn to add when you feel like puking!
And I will use any rebound to $40 as an opportunity to sell, and buy a company that knows what there doing....RIO, FCX STL PCU......
I have bought TCK a couple of times when it was low because it seemed unvalued. Both times it has underperformed the other miner/metal stocks I bought at the same time. I like the value but I am doubting I'll get involved w/ TCK again.rbgambler may be a bit trollish, but in this case I agree that TCK has mgmt problems. I should've just bought more RIO.
Trollish?? WTF does that mean? I'm pissed. Mgt sucks, their investment in FDG sucks, and they have no clue how to use currency options...all they complain about is the Canadian dollar being to high....mgt sucks, this stock sucks and you suck...now "trollish" that!
Some of your comments are unnecessarily harsh and it comes off wrong. Still I said I agree they have some mgmt issues. Regardless I would like to see this go up for awhile so I can make a nice gain and move on.

Any new ideas would be welcome, Allyssa. I tend to start with an idea that evolves as I write. My old English teacher would not be happy, but that's just the way I write.
After a burst of four stories in the space of a couple of months, my inspiration seems to have dried up for the time being. I've been writing the same piece for nearly six weeks now, and I can't decide where I want it to go. I'm really happy with the part I've written so far, but the old inspiration doesn't seem to have found it's course this time.
It's a bit frustrating but I'm not too worried just yet. I've been really busy at work just recently and I don't seem to have had time to sit down and have a good crack at it. Get a full day off to tinker about and I think the words will begin to flow once more.

The MB Sports Camp/Nike Ultimate Camp at University of Central Florida is a youth ultimate camp for boys and girls ages 10-18 of all ability levels. This youth ultimate summer camp delivers the best experience for growth and development to young players.
The Nike Ultimate Camp in Orlando is staffed by vastly experienced instructors who teach campers important fundamentals and techniques to aid in each camper's success in the College Ultimate Division and beyond. Join campers from all around the world for fun evening activities and learning in one of the best ultimate programs around!
Michael started playing pickup ultimate in Saint Augustine, FL and then joined a local league in Jacksonville while in High School. He then joined the Birmingham Forge U19 team for YCC in 2013 and finished 13th.
When he came to UCF he made it onto the Dogs of War team as freshman and started on the O-line. He later finished his first College nationals with 16 goals, good enough for T-4 in the tournament. That summer he played for Florida United and came back and play for UCF on the team that finished T-3rd at Nationals.
This past summer, Michael played for Atlanta's Chain Lightning (an elite-level men's ultimate frisbee club team) and finished 5th at Regionals. He plans on playing high level club ultimate this summer!
Our camp is open to players of all ability levels.
Our camp is for players from the ages of 10-18.
Our camps are open to both boys and girls. All activities will be done in a mixed environment.
Campers will stay in the UCF Valucia dorms on campus. Each dorm room will house two individuals, and camp staff and counselors will be spread out throughout each floor. Roomates are assigned by gender, age and roommate requests. The dorms are air conditioned.
Campers with play ultimate on the UCF athletic fields.
In addition to the amazing ultimate sport experience, we offer our campers a great opportunity to escape the fields and have some fun in the evenings. Each week we offer a variety of extra activities (both on and off campus, some of which may incur an additional fee).
On-campus activities examples: Outdoor basketball, swimming, ping-pong, movies, dance parties, board games, and more.
Off-campus activities examples: Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood, Fun Spot America or Congo River (entertainment complex which includes miniature golf, batting cages, laser tag and more!); and lastly,Interactive Museums like Ripley's Believe it or Not or The CSI Experience. Staff members accompany our campers on all trips.
We provide a ratio of 1 staff member for every 10 campers. This ensures lots of one-on-one attention and teaching for each camper.
The Nike Ultimate Camp counselors and staff are hand-selected based on their ability to lead and supervise. We will have a staff member available for campers during all hours of the night should they need assistance. Campers will be transported to a local hospital in case of an emergency.
We will continue play during rain, but during thunderstorms we will move indoors to work on fitness or have additional classroom time.
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
Nike Ultimate Camps do not provide transportation to/from camp from airport, train stations or bus depots. If you have a camper arriving by air who is deemed an "unaccompanied minor" by the airlines and must be met by a camp staff or shuttle company employee, there will be a fee that needs to be paid in advance of camp. You will still have to arrange transportation to/from camp. Please call 1-800-645-3226 two weeks prior to camp to provide camper's flight and shuttle information.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact info, and a list of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. Our health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Camp Code: UFXRCF
I had the best instructors, Coach Sonny and Coach Roca. I just loved playing Ultimate every day.
Great staff! Well organized!
2017 Dates and Prices Coming Soon! Join our email list to be notified when the program is available.

Join David's Hope and the Arizona Mental Health Criminal Justice Coalition for a discussion of mental illness within Arizona's state prison systems.
Tuesday October 8, 2013 (3-4:30pm)
People of Color, Comunidad Clinic
1035 E. Jefferson St. Phoenix, 85034
(this is a regular monthly meeting, every second Tuesday)
A community resource for monitoring, navigating, surviving, and dismantling the prison industrial complex in Arizona.
Retiring Arizona Prison Watch...
This site was originally started in July 2009 as an independent endeavor to monitor conditions in Arizona's criminal justice system, as well as offer some critical analysis of the prison industrial complex from a prison abolitionist/anarchist's perspective. It was begun in the aftermath of the death of Marcia Powell, a 48 year old AZ state prisoner who was left in an outdoor cage in the desert sun for over four hours while on a 10-minute suicide watch. That was at ASPC-Perryville, in Goodyear, AZ, in May 2009.
Marcia, a seriously mentally ill woman with a meth habit sentenced to the minimum mandatory 27 months in prison for prostitution was already deemed by society as disposable. She was therefore easily ignored by numerous prison officers as she pleaded for water and relief from the sun for four hours. She was ultimately found collapsed in her own feces, with second degree burns on her body, her organs failing, and her body exceeding the 108 degrees the thermometer would record. 16 officers and staff were disciplined for her death, but no one was ever prosecuted for her homicide. Her story is here.
Marcia's death and this blog compelled me to work for the next 5 1/2 years to document and challenge the prison industrial complex in AZ, most specifically as manifested in the Arizona Department of Corrections. I corresponded with over 1,000 prisoners in that time, as well as many of their loved ones, offering all what resources I could find for fighting the AZ DOC themselves - most regarding their health or matters of personal safety.
I also began to work with the survivors of prison violence, as I often heard from the loved ones of the dead, and learned their stories. During that time I memorialized the Ghosts of Jan Brewer - state prisoners under her regime who were lost to neglect, suicide or violence - across the city's sidewalks in large chalk murals. Some of that art is here.
In November 2014 I left Phoenix abruptly to care for my family. By early 2015 I was no longer keeping up this blog site, save occasional posts about a young prisoner in solitary confinement who I've been supporting, Jessie Burlew.
I will miss my work and the people who have supported me - but I have been most especially grateful to the prisoners who educated, confided in, and encouraged me. My life has been made all the more rich and meaningful by their engagement.
I have linked to some posts about advocating for state prisoner health and safety to the right, as well as other resources for families and friends. If you are in need of additional assistance fighting the prison industrial complex in Arizona - or if you care to offer some aid to the cause - please contact the Phoenix Anarchist Black Cross at PO Box 7241 / Tempe, AZ 85281. firstname.lastname@example.com

Khatron Ke Khaildi 5: Rohit Shetty Played Favourites?
It is said that Rohit Shetty played favourites during the shooting of Khatron Ke Khiladi 5. Nikitin, Gauhar, Rajneesh, Gurmeet enjoyed special privileges while the other contestants didn't.
Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi season 5's host and the Chennai Express and Singam director, Rohit Shetty, is said to have played favourites in the stunt based reality show. It is said that he was lenient to Thangabali - Nikitin Dheer and Rajneesh Duggal, who in fact is said to be the winner of the series. A leading website mentioned that the contestants are in fact unhappy with the makers of the show.
Though none of the contestants have said anything out in the open, the insider information talks a different story entirely about the popular stunt show on Colors, Khatron Ke Khiladi.
Gauhar Khan, who got eliminated few weeks back re-entered the show just a week later. Though some connect the issue with Ajaz Khan's presense on the show, others say it was just to keep the popular actress on the show throughout. Rajneesh Duggal, who was never considered a tough competition turns out to win the show. In a recent ranking the contestants themselves gave, Rajneesh stood at the 5th spot.
Khatron Ke Khiladi, the stunt based reality show has reached the final week. The semi-finale week had the contestants giving their very best to secure their place in the grand finale.
When Gurmeet Choudhary, Debina Chaudhary, Gauhar Khan, Salman Khan, Rajneesh Duggal have made their place for Khatron Ke Khiladi finale, Ranvir Shoray, Nikitin Dheer, Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu are still in the danger zone.

Mr. Hanna claims not to know the meaning of the word subterfuge; it should have been his middle name
November 23, 2011: A St. Clair County man accuses several banks and collection agencies of improperly attempting to collect a debt.
Roger Benson filed a lawsuit Nov. 16 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against LVNV Funding LLC, Resurgent Capital Services LP and Chase Bank USA. United Collection Bureau Inc., Frederick J. Hanna & Associates PC and Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Company LPA are also named as defendants.
The suit seeks a judgement of more than $1.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages plus court costs.
Benson says he was living in Arkansas in November 2008 when he reached a settlement agreement on a debt with Chase Bank. The payment was made by money order and endorsed by the bank, allegedly satisfying the debt on the account.
In June 2009, Benson says he started receiving several demand letters after moving to Illinois. He says the notices from United Collection Bureau demanded he pay $4,700 on the previously-settled account. In August 2009 Benson claims he wrote the company asking for validation of the debt, which he says he never received.
In October 2009, Benson says Frederick J. Hanna & Associates sent him a demand letter for the same amount on the same account. Again, Benson claims he asked for validation and verification of the amount owed, which he allegedly never received. Two years later Weltman, Weinberg & Reis allegedly sent Benson a demand letter for the same Chase Bank debt which was now held by LVNV Funding.
Benson claims the defendants violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Illinois' Collection Agency Act by not providing validation of the debt, repeatedly demanding payment on an account that had been settled and transferring collection activities to new debt agencies. He also accuses the companies of consumer fraud.
Attorney David M. Duree of O'Fallon is representing Benson. They ask for a jury trial. http://frederickjhannawatch.blogspot.com/2011/11/frederick-j-hanna-sued-for-attempting.html

i really like this campaign but i think they coulda found a picture of a guy in his office that looked a little bit more like an aquarium
(This comment is dedicated to the lovely ellehcimeo)
Scott shrugged as he watched the dandelion attack the city. The crumbling buildings reminded him that he had better call his mother before the Striking of the Glass Peanut. He wondered why his mother would put so much effort and love into raising her precious, deadly, skyline dismantling, giant dandelions. He was lucky to even get a card on his birthday. How Scott hated those mutant dandelions. Hated them so much he felt like peeing. In fact, that's exactly what he did. He stepped outside into detritus and carnage, unzipped his pants, whipped it out and took the best damn piss of his life, right onto the dandelions. They swiftly killed him, but his territory was already marked. No one messes with Scott Benoit. No one except giant mutant killer dandelions. And his mother. Bitch didn't even show up at the funeral.
I've decided to lift, and to separate.
I've decided I hate signatures.
Exactly cool idea.
-Where is the impossible?
Thank you.
I've decided it's nice to be back.
I've decided I hate signatures.
nice concept. but the reflection of the clouds is too much making me feel like he wants to quit his job to be a pilot.
another version looks emotionally better somehow.

Are NBA fans staying away?
The headline on the blog said: Read It and Weep NBA. But is Commissioner David Stern truly worried about the affect the economy will have on attendance and the increasing popularity of, ah-hem, the NHL?
The premise of Supersonicsoul's blog is not exactly off-base if the graph is to be believed.
Yahoo!Sports.com followed up with its own look at NBA vs. NHL attendance figures and came away with the same thought -- the NHL is gaining on the NBA.
Even in L.A., the numbers through the early part of the season aren't all that far apart: the Lakers are at 96.9 percent capacity (through five games) and the NHL Kings are at 80.6 percent (through 12 games).
This could be another "Not Hot" moment for the NBA, as Sports Illustrated pointed out 14 years ago. Although both leagues are suffering during this economic downturn, the numbers show hockey's gains and stability in attendance while NBA fans are being outpriced in most markets.
Can you afford a Lakers ticket? Plus parking?

I upgraded to 3.5 from 3.4.2. First, it worked like a charm. I was working on a post. Then I switched to full screen mode and switched back. When I switched back my editor window remained very high.
I tried dragging the right bottom corner of the editor window to make it smaller. It works as long as I don't save and reload page. Every time I reload, it goes back to huge height. The width is ok though.
I checked it with chrome's developer tools. It seems that wp-content-editor-container layer is 5000 pixels tall. content_ifr iframe is 4951px tall. Where it takes these values from and how can I make it normal again?
Any help will be appreciated.

But then after I could get in touch with anyone any longer with out getting you know that one excuse after another, this person sending me to this person, And try this number It was just crazy, then that was when I thought that I was being ripped off, but then I thought that it can't be being that it's on the television its got to be alright.
The government wouldn't let nothing like this come on television if it wasn't true boy was i wrong about that, but he had the nerve to congratulate me and welcome aboard to rip me off. and the more and more I got in I was buying this stuff and that stuff to make my business but that didn't happen and I still don't have an internet business yet till this day.

Five days after "the following Monday" I called again and was told they were in a tray with the replacement parts and would be sent out the next day. Two weeks later, still no glasses and no reply to telephone calls or emails. I finally emailed a cancellation of the work order on July 16 and ten days later have still not received my glasses or a response.
I consider this company to be fraudulent regarding their services, and now in criminal, unlawful possession of my property since canceling the order. These frames and lenses were brand new, expensive, and fitted with a new prescription. My vision has suffered because of this company and I have never experienced this level of frustration with any business.

Perception of musical and lexical tones by Taiwanese-speaking musicians130(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3596473View Description Hide Description
This study explored the relationship between music and speech by examining absolute pitch and lexical toneperception. Taiwanese-speaking musicians were asked to identify musical tones without a reference pitch and multispeaker Taiwanese level tones without acoustic cues typically present for speaker normalization. The results showed that a high percentage of the participants (65% with an exact match required and 81% with one-semitone errors allowed) possessed absolute pitch, as measured by the musical tone identification task. A negative correlation was found between occurrence of absolute pitch and age of onset of musical training, suggesting that the acquisition of absolute pitch resembles the acquisition of speech. The participants were able to identify multispeaker Taiwanese level tones with above-chance accuracy, even though the acoustic cues typically present for speaker normalization were not available in the stimuli. No correlations were found between the performance in musical tone identification and the performance in Taiwanese tone identification. Potential reasons for the lack of association between the two tasks are discussed.
A methodological and preliminary study on the acoustic effect of a trumpet player's vocal tract130(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3596471View Description Hide Description
A methodological study is presented to examine the acoustic role of the vocal tract in playing the trumpet. Preliminary results obtained for one professional player are also shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Images of the vocal tract with a resolution of 0.5 mm (2 mm in thickness) were recorded with magnetic resonance imaging to observe the tongue posture and estimate the vocal-tract area function during actual performance. The input impedance was then calculated for the player's air column including both the supra- and subglottal tracts using an acoustic tube model including the effect of wall losses. Finally, a time-domain blowing simulation by Adachi and Sato [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 1200–1209 (1996)] was performed with a model of the lips. In this simulation, the oscillating frequency of the lips was slightly affected by using different shapes of the vocal tract measured for the player. In particular, when the natural frequency of the lips was gradually increased, the transition to the higher mode occurred at different frequencies for different vocal-tract shapes. Furthermore, simulation results showed that the minimum blowing pressure required to attain the lip oscillation can be reduced by adjusting the vocal-tract shape properly.
Radiation efficiency of a guitar top plate linked with edge or corner modes and intercell cancellation130(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3592235View Description Hide Description
This paper was based on a theoretical framework to determine strong and weak radiation by a guitar top plate, vibrating through deflections hard to analyze: multipolar mode shapes. The air–structure interaction was examined in terms of edge modes or corner modes, and considering even or odd number modes. A numerical model was implemented and experimentally calibrated, exhibiting several advantages exploring the coupling between vibratory and acoustic waves in a top plate. Two analyses were applied detecting high or low radiation efficiency for the structure. First, the addition of volume velocity for odd numbers of poles and cancellation for even numbers were examined. In fact, both behaviors can happen at the same time, as it was shown for a corner radiator case used as an example. Second, the ratio between bending and acoustic wavenumbers was explored. To illustrate the importance of this ratio, some theoretical features of a more efficient radiator than the corner mode were exposed in an edge mode example. Labeling multipolar mode shapes as efficient or inefficient radiators showed to be a useful alternative analyzing the top plate behavior. It can be applied knowing the nodal lines of the vibration pattern and estimating the bending and acoustic wavelengths.

This pumpkin banana chocolate chip bread is a delicious fall treat sweet enough to be dessert and light enough to be breakfast.
Operation dry out the basement was in full effect yesterday. The good news is we now have a functioning boiler and air handler again. The central vacuum and treadmill however are still in critical condition. Doctor's orders are time + dry air, fingers crossed for a full recovery. Ulysses may not be a chef or a masseuse, but I'd say handyman is a slightly better quality when things like this happen.
Enough about water. How about pumpkin instead?
Starbucks reintroduced the pumpkin spice latte this week so I figured it was an appropriate time to tap into the stockpile of Libby's I hoarded from last year.
Confession: I actually opened this can last Sunday for some pumpkin oats and it's been sitting in my fridge ever since, desperately waiting to be incorporated into some baked good.
I think this was worth the wait.
Bananas are a staple in this house. Ulysses eats 1 every morning, I will almost always have at least 1/2 of one each morning, factor in snacks and we go through a "bunch" of bananas in about 2.5-3 days. Overripe ones are a rarity. So, when I came home yesterday from my trip to California and saw 3 bananas getting all brown and spotted I actually got excited to finally have some to bake with.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say everyone has had banana bread at some point and many have had pumpkin bread before. But, have you had pumpkin + banana + chocolate chips before? No? It's kind of a match made in heaven.
It's healthy and light enough to be considered breakfast and sweet and chocolaty enough to qualify as dessert. A multifunctional bread. What more could you ask for?

Semi rolls at service station
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 03, 2013
A SEMI-TRAILER rolled onto its side at a service station in Sydney's north-west this morning.
The truck was attempting to turn left into a Shell service station on Pennant Hills Rd at Pennant Hills when it rolled onto its left side, spilling part of its load.
As a result of the crash, one of three southbound lanes was closed for most of the morning.
An extensive clean-up has been completed and all lanes have reopened, with no delays for motorists through the area.
