Are you ready for Black Friday?
While the traditional start to the holiday shopping season is pushing into Thanksgiving this year, with stores like Sears, Walmart and Target launching their door-buster specials on Thursday, savvy shoppers can snag deals even sooner.
And with the inevitable crunch of shoppers crowding store aisles and limited supplies of some of the sweetest deals, it pays to have a plan before you venture out.
"It's become much more sophisticated," said Julie Clark, the marketing manager at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, which is opening its doors at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving. "It's about planning out the strategy, planning out where you want to be and when you want to be there."
But don't let the hype cloud your judgment. A smattering of websites makes it easier than ever before to compare prices and deals days in advance. Shoppers out in the stores can use their smartphones and tablets to check competitor prices before they buy. And keep an eye out for last-minute deals that retailers may offer through social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter.
"Consumers now have the power to check prices and availability," said Pam Goodfellow, the director of consumer insight for BIGInsight.com.
Here's how to make sure your Black Friday week buys really are good deals:
• Plan and compare. Most retailers' Black Friday ads are available online, either through the retailer's own site or at a handful of websites that have carved a niche as clearinghouses for Black Friday deals and information.
Sites like gottadeal.com, fatwallet.com and blackfriday.com not only post store circulars and store hours, but they also have features that let shoppers sort through deals from all the stores they track, allowing consumers to search, for example, for all deals on televisions. Dealnews.com offers analysis of the "deals" offered by retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and Radio Shack. Sites like bradsdeals.com, bfads.net and blackfriday.com offer Black Friday circulars and store hours.
And then there's slickdeals.net and fatwallet.com, a pair of deal sites whose discussion forums should be a regular stop for any savvy shopper, regardless of the time of year.
• Think beyond Black Friday. Kohl's is making some of its Black Friday deals available online after midnight Wednesday. Sears made some of its door busters available to members of its Shop Your Way Rewards program beginning Sunday, and more will be offered Wednesday.
Beyond that, retailers from Walmart to Newegg.com and Best Buy already have been offering a steady stream of pre-Black Friday deals.
• Get social. Be sure to "like" your favorite stores' Facebook pages and follow their Twitter feeds. Stores will be using social media more than ever this Black Friday to keep shoppers updated on last-minute deals and discounts, said Matt Shay, president of the National Retail Federation.
Kohl's said its Facebook fans will receive exclusive savings offers during the holidays through Friday flash sales. Expect retailers to send text messages offering discounts to shoppers who have signed up to receive them. The Fashion Outlets plans to use TVs in its concourses to keep shoppers updated on the posting from the mall's stores, Clark said.
• The lucky few. Be wary of door-buster deals that only come in limited quantities. Read the fine print of the ads. If a store says it only guarantees that each store will have 10 of a particular item, that's a tip-off there's a good chance that item will be sold out by the time you get there.
"The idea is to draw customers in with a few loss leaders," said Arun Jain, a University at Buffalo marketing professor.
Walmart said it will guarantee that three items that are part of its 10 p.m. door-buster sale on Thanksgiving will be available to people who are in line at its stores between 10 and 11 p.m. Those items include a 16GB Apple iPad 2 priced at $399 that comes with a $75 Walmart gift card, a 32-inch Emerson LCD TV for $148 and a $38 LG Blu-ray player.
• Timing is everything. The Black Friday shopping frenzy is steadily spilling over into Thanksgiving, with stores like Walmart, Sears and Target all opening on the holiday. Other stores, from Best Buy to Bon-Ton and Macy's, are opening at midnight Thursday.
Walmart, for instance, is starting its first round of holiday door busters at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving, followed by another round at 10 p.m. and a final sale at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
The hoopla associated with the door busters helps draw in customers, and the staggered sales are designed to keep shoppers in the store longer, waiting for the next sale to hit, Jain said.
This is where the planning comes in. Know what items are going on sale at what time and plan your stops accordingly. Go with a group of family or friends and divide the shopping responsibilities so the group can cover the most ground, Clark said.
"It's become much more sophisticated," she said. "I've even seen where people have radios and they're communicating back and forth."
• There's an app for that. Macy's is adding a Black Friday feature to its iPhone app that will help shoppers create shopping lists and browse Black Friday specials in advance. Walmart said it will offer early access to special deals through its app, allowing them to purchase certain store items online hours before they're available in stores.
Beyond that, smartphones and tablets are a great way for consumers to compare prices and even check the availability of items at other stores.
• Keep watching for a better deal. There's no guarantee that the price you pay on Black Friday will be the lowest price.
Hang on to your receipts and keep scouring the ads and online retailers for a better price. Target, Best Buy and Toys R Us all have limited price-matching policies that include online retailers, but there are plenty of exceptions.
Best Buy's price-matching policy, for instance, doesn't apply between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Nov. 26.

5 Complaints About Modern Teens (That Are Statistically BS)
One of the most surreal parts of being an adult is finding yourself in a conversation with other adults about "today's youth." It happens to all of us -- in my experience, the first one takes place roughly four seconds after high school graduation. But when you're old enough to have the conversation without being laughed at, stabbed, and then laughed at again, the subject takes a pretty dark turn. It's like a switch is thrown, and you view everyone younger than you as a drooling idiot just waiting to fuck up our country. You hear idiotic complaints like ...
#5. "Stupid Kids Today Are Pregnant Before They Can Even Drive"
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
The Complaint:
All kids do is eat, sleep, and fuck. It's like as soon as their genitals become active for something other than urination, they're whipping them out and mashing them together like they're in the Filth Olympics. When I was a kid, sex was sacred. We waited until marriage before surprising each other with our weird-looking shame inducers. Nowadays, if you don't rig up a car alarm to their balls, they can't be left with another teenager for more than five minutes without spawning yet another leech to suck away all of my tax dollars.
But Actually ...
Hold up there, old timers. It turns out that you were the fuck-happy dick slingers. We're not just comparing our grandparents' generation with the current one, either. The 1950s absolutely demolishes every other modern world decade in teenage pregnancy:
Via Guttmacher.org
Eat graph, grandpa. Then put away your overactive boner before you hurt someone.
With the exception of a small spike in the 1990s, teen pregnancy has been steadily on the decline since the only form of birth control was sobriety or homosexuality. Take note of those years, teens. It's not just your grandparents we're talking about -- it's also your parents. So there's two generations for you to give the finger and graph-slap into apologetic tears. But wait, there's more!
Those generations didn't just outshame you with their filth; take a look at that graph again. Your generation is sporting the lowest pregnancy rate of ... well, pretty much ever. And just in case your racist grandma needs her supremacy complex spanked, here's another one showing that the decline is mirrored across the board:
Via Hhs.gov
You should print that shit out and put it on a T-shirt.
#4. "They're All on Drugs"
Doug Menuez/Valueline/Getty Images
The Complaint:
I have no sympathy for kids these days. If they want to improve their lives, they can start by getting off of the drugs. No wonder they're depressed all the time -- out their smelling their cocaine and taking their crack pills. Hell, the other day I heard that they're even using bath products for a high. One guy tried it and ate a man's face clean off. Clean off! That's exactly the problem with this country. It's gotten so bad that I can't go outside without worrying about some kid drinking a bottle of conditioner and getting hungry for my eyebrow.
But Actually ...
Want to see something pretty impressive? Check this shit out:
Via Drugabuse.gov
I guess I should have put a graph warning at the beginning of the article.
See that green line that goes up at the end? That's ecstasy, and it happens to be the only drug on the list that's seen a rise in use. Every other one has been in steady decline since people were saying, "Isn't that the drummer from Nirvana, singing and playing guitar? That'll never work."
I'm not saying that the teen drug problem isn't an issue. But the insinuation that it's getting worse with each generation is just ignorant bullshit. It's doing the exact opposite. Even cigarettes are seeing less use, and that used to be the epitome of coolness and rebellion. I guess kids are putting more emphasis on the "death" part of their pros and cons list. Pussies.
Via Drugabuse.gov
Did someone say "graph"? No? Well, I'm putting this here anyway.
#3. "Kids These Days Are Just Plain Lazy"
Image Source/Photodisc/Getty Images
The Complaint:
When I was a kid, we did four hours of farm work before we got on the bus for school. Then after we got home, we did another full day's work just for fun. On weekends, we fought in the Great War, just to do our part for the world. Today, if you ask a teenager to rinse off his plate before putting it in the dishwasher, he damn near bursts into tears. They're lazy little bastards who have been coddled into thinking the world is their servant. They should all be sent to boot camp so they can see what real work looks like.
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
"You will complete your homework while running 20 miles, son -- move, move, MOVE!"
But Actually ...
Many of our parents had part-time jobs while they went to school, knocking off a few shifts of slinging grease during the weekends to support their massive cassette tape collection, but it sure as hell wasn't 80 percent of them. That's how much of the current generation (from high school to college) works while going to school.
Even if that was all they did, it would still be enough to cock-punch the "they're lazy" complaint, but when you consider that 80 percent is math for "almost all," you have to realize that this encompasses the kids who are already overloaded with shit to do: sports, academic clubs, school functions, band, drama, community service sentences, devil worship. If I had that kind of time-management skills, I'd own the United States and reshape it into a giant penis.
Satellite photos would be awesome.
I'm sure that, to someone who's seeing them during their off time, they probably do look pretty lazy, because they're fucking exhausted. When grandma visits, she's not seeing them at work or whatever function they're attending. She's seeing them stretched out on the couch in a classic "Don't ask me to do a single thing or I will fist-murder you" pose. Calling them lazy after seeing that infinitesimal slice of their life is a goddamn insult. You might as well wait until they fall asleep and post pictures of you teabagging them on Twitter.

This sequence of image galleries is progressive: from a brief overview of performance considerations in staging Shakespeare, it evolves to a broad survey of the whole history of Shakespeare production, followed by coverage of narrower periods as modern records intensify, until we reach the modern age with galleries focused on late twentieth-century British theatre and contemporary American Shakespeare companies, followed by detailed documentation of the origins, development, and use of the rebuilt Globe Theatre at Bankside, London.
The second page of galleries shifts emphasis to more specialized approaches: unusual images of performances; data about the relevance of Shakespeare's plays' historical content to performance, both in Europe and Britain; followed by various exercises illustrating the use of this material in Shakespeare analysis, including sample gatherings from the whole collection focused on three of the most popular plays: Much Ado, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet.
9. Unusual Representations of Shakespeare Performances, Etc.
This section juxtaposes distinctive images, some not included in the previous sections (e.g. imaginative stagings by artists; non-English-speaking performers; media versions; etc.). Pictures are grouped in ways encouraging critical comparison and analysis. The main groupings, in order, are: Macbeth, and King Lear; Richard III and Henry VIII with historical costuming; Fools, including Falstaff; developments in women's roles; elaborate stagings such as Reinhardt's M. N. Dream, and other film and television versions; a series by John Gilbert illustrating the Henry VI plays for John Staunton's edition (1859); 3 versions of a Titus scene; Hamlets; personalities relevant to Shakespeare's works, etc. Where known to be applicable, copyright coverage is identified in the description of each item, unless held by the Shakespeare Program. Images are intended for educational purposes only.
10: Shakespeare's Settings and Societies[in progress]
This developing Gallery seeks to illustrate how the exact naming of the location of Shakespeare's plots may have been culturally significant. Such details often jar with the radical displacements routinely pursued by modern directors and designers, but when the UCB Shakespeare Program staged his comedies in appropriately Renaissance style we were congratulated on our daring originality. This selection of images suggests what impressions and interpretations might be customary in Shakespeare's world in imagining the environments and societies he explicitly chose to stage. Though Elizabethan theatre did not pursue historical realism very thoroughly in costuming, images or ideas similar to the following ones may have plausibly inspired the content and appearance of their productions, or certainly some later ones. Some of the images are in the public domain, some the U.C.B. Shakespeare Program's, others courtesy of the Yorck Project, but all are offered here for educational not commercial purposes.
11. Shakespeare's European Precedents
This experimental Gallery is devoted to relevant images of the European models to whom Shakespeare is indebted for essential elements of his plays: plots, characters, ideas. They include Ovid, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Castiglione, Marguerite de Navarre, Rabelais, Ronsard, Montaigne, Lope de Vega, etc. Their influence served to define many of the principal elements of Elizabethan culture as well as stage effects in its drama. Several of the illustrations and descriptions are derived from the UCB Shakespeare Program collection, photographed by Velma Bourgeois Richmond, and are available for educational purposes only. Others are more generally available from the Yorck Project, under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (Wikipedia).
12. Shakespeare Context in English Literature
This new Gallery seeks to explore Shakespeare's visual continuity with his English literary context, through relevant images about Chaucer, Marlowe, Jonson, Donne, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth, Keats, Dickens, and Shaw. Several of the illustrations and descriptions are from the UCB Shakespeare Program collection, photographed by Velma Bourgeois Richmond, and are available for educational purposes only. Others are more generally available, derived from the Yorck Project, under Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License (Wikipedia).
13. Develop Your Insights into Images of Shakespeare Performance!
The last three Galleries 13, 14, and 15 are currently being developed to illustrate various uses of the materials in the earlier twelve galleries for critical and educational purposes. Possible topics include these following, 1 to 6, on this page (for which the relevant sets of illustrations appear on this gallery's corresponding page numbers: 1 to 6).
The last section of this Gallery, on p.7, contains two main items: Sub Gallery 10.7.A has a series of provocative questions about the Elizabethan stage (with several clues attached), followed by 10.7.B. with plausible answers, scoring up to ten points.
Page 1. Taking a series of illustrations of the play "Richard III" in order to discuss the concepts of Richard's character which they may reflect, in terms of settings, costumes, postures, and expressions.
Page 2. Using a selection of images of Cleopatra to display differing views of women's roles and any progressions that they may demonstrate from Shakespeare's own times to the present day.
Page 3. Selecting several images of clowns/fools to show how their appearance, whether traditional or contemporary, objectifies their functions both in comedies and in tragedies.
Page 4. Exploring social structures and attitudes which govern the visual presentations of characters in the courtly or other group scenes seen in this series of images to see if they show any divergencies.
Page 5. To what extent can these different images of Hamlet be reconciled to give a coherent interpretation of the part as it evolves in the play?
Page 6.Using images of "Much Ado About Nothing" to reveal the relationship of Beatrice and Benedick and show how such relationships are treated in the various periods of the performances. Only the images offered for this last Topic 6 are currently accompanied by brief commentaries suggesting the kind of ways in which the various earlier themes in Gallery 10 might also be covered.
Page 7. On this page, beneath each image contained in the first Sub-Gallery 13.7.A is a provocative question about the Elizabethan stage under each enlarged image, with answers given in the second Sub-Gallery, 13.7.B. by enlarging the masquer's image.
14: Much Ado: Researching a Production History
This Album continues our experimental sequence by creating a research model based on this site's data. It will show how to consolidate the range of data throughout the site by focus on a single play's performance history: in this case Much Ado About Nothing. Most of the following images were collected in about an hour, using the site's Galleries; and the remainder took scarcely longer, exploring recommended links (with similar educational purposes only). They illustrate the extraordinary range of characterizations, costumes, and settings which the play has evoked over the centuries, from Holbein's 16th c. Hampton Court to the British India of Queen Victoria. One use of these images might be to define the range of expressions of Beatrice and Benedick when paired, and to try to co-ordinate them in a sequence of feelings. Another might be to use the costuming of Benedick as a source of clues to his characterization. Alternatively: to what extent do the settings of the action suggest the play is a critique of high society? Remember that there are also three video clips (#9,10,11) of scenes from Much Ado in our Video Gallery. More to come!
15. Performing King Lear: Researching a Plot Sequence.
This next experimental Gallery 15 uses previous materials to show how they can be redeployed following the sequence of scenes in a single script. As our most recent data shows that site visits for "King Lear" are the most numerous, that play is used as the example. The images were collected in an hour or two from the Galleries and listed Relevant Sites. The narrative ordering used in this Gallery helps evaluation of how effective the images of settings and related costumes are in illuminating our understanding of key scenes. For example, this Gallery's second page applies material from Gallery 10.f.7-8 to a major reinterpretation of the play's ending, thus concluding the website with an issue for ongoing discussion! All images here are intended for educational use.
16. Performing Romeo and Juliet
As the bibliography of Romeo and Juliet is one of the most popular on this site it seems appropriate to illustrate the kind of further resources which can be gathered from its Galleries. This album is still undergoing development.

Council member says thanks To the editor: I want to express, my thanks to the residents attending my meeting, on Saturday, June 15....
"God bless Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. Real American heroes." GRANT MINGUS, Salem...
Well, Grant, although we often agree...I certainly pray for both young men but to make them out to be heroes is a stretch. We are living in dangerous times where more is known then ever before. We can Google or Bing and learn things that we best not know. Terrorists can learn how to do things to harm the most average and decent person because they want to watch a parade, a race or jus go to work.
Saying that, I do believe in the fact that we were founded as a Republic with laws. I do believe both young men should have a fair trial and I do believe if found guilty, they should pay dearly for their crimes...but heroes, no.

Guns are not the real danger
April 6, 2013
Risk-taking is part of life, and we tend to focus on the risks most publicized by the media. Trouble is, that's usually a poor way to gauge actual danger. Take gun violence, for example....
The REAL danger to America? PROGRESSIVES/DEMOCRATS and SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS.........They are all about to be fired and impeachment and charges of corruption are soon to follow them. We currently have nothing but COMMON CRIMINALS running this country into the ground; and doing it intentionally. It's about to end as more witnesses keep coming forward.

Heck no liberals don't want to talk about "mental disorders." It would mean the public would hear the SIGNS of mental disorders and put two and two together and SEE the signs in these radical liberals in office today. Obama is using WH as a bully pulpit since day one; Biden (need you ask?) shows us daily how nuts he is...and then we have Mr. Jackson from Chicago seeking psychiatric help.....Pelosi claiming mysterious invisible 'people' are trying to sit in her seat with her.....geez......so see....we would be discussing THEIR mental disorders.
Obama's entire administration needs a mental health checkup. It should be required along with the yearly physical health checkups.

An erythroid differentiation signature predicts response to lenalidomide in myelodysplastic syndrome
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Ebert, Benjamin L., Galili Naomi, Tamayo Pablo, Bosco Jocelyn, Mak Raymond, Pretz Jennifer, Tanguturi Shyam, Ladd-Acosta Christine, Stone Richard, Golub Todd R., and Raza Azra
|BACKGROUND: Lenalidomide is an effective new agent for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), an acquired hematopoietic disorder characterized by ineffective blood cell production and a predisposition to the development of leukemia. Patients with an interstitial deletion of Chromosome 5q have a high rate of response to lenalidomide, but most MDS patients lack this deletion. Approximately 25% of patients without 5q deletions also benefit from lenalidomide therapy, but response in these patients cannot be predicted by any currently available diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to develop a method to predict lenalidomide response in order to avoid unnecessary toxicity in patients unlikely to benefit from treatment. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using gene expression profiling, we identified a molecular signature that predicts lenalidomide response. The signature was defined in a set of 16 pretreatment bone marrow aspirates from MDS patients without 5q deletions, and validated in an independent set of 26 samples. The response signature consisted of a cohesive set of erythroid-specific genes with decreased expression in responders, suggesting that a defect in erythroid differentiation underlies lenalidomide response. Consistent with this observation, treatment with lenalidomide promoted erythroid differentiation of primary hematopoietic progenitor cells grown in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: These studies indicate that lenalidomide-responsive patients have a defect in erythroid differentiation, and suggest a strategy for a clinical test to predict patients most likely to respond to the drug. The experiments further suggest that the efficacy of lenalidomide, whose mechanism of action in MDS is unknown, may be due to its ability to induce erythroid differentiation.

The 2011 NBA Draft is quickly shaping up as an interesting one.
Just as much for the players who aren't coming out as those who have declared.
North Carolina sharpshooter Harrison Barnes was projected as the No. 1 overall pick before he had even played a game collegiately. He was thought to be a slam dunk one-and-down player. Stunningly, Barnes is still pondering a return to UNC for his sophomore season, joining Tyler Zeller and John Henson—both of whom also bypassed expected first-round draft opportunities—in what could be next year's No. 1 team in college. Baylor's Perry Jones, another standout freshman expected to log a college cameo, shocked the world by announcing he'd return to Baylor next season, passing a sure-fire Top 10 draft spot.
Add in Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger returning to school, a heavily hyped big man before he ever entered college, and the trend of top talent departing for the draft is beginning to reverse.
For the sake of this mock draft, I'm going to assume Barnes shocks the world and returns to the Tar Heels for his sophomore season.

Todd Richardson grew up in Grand Junction, Colorado. He comes from a large family, the eldest of 6 kids and 2 loving parents. Growing up, Todd realized he was attracted to the same sex but was convinced that when he found "the right girl," the "problem" would go away.
After serving a mission and graduating from BYU, Todd moved to New York City to teach at a middle school. He busied himself with as much church service and work as possible[…]

I was born and raised in a small town in Washington state on my family farm. From a young age I knew I was different I couldn't pin point exactly how. It wasn't until I was at BYU in 2007 that I really realized that I was fully attracted to girls and that this was something I could not change. I recently graduated from BYU (December 2012) with a degree in Anthropology and I have been working in marketing and public relations.

Mark Schneider grew up in western Pennsylvania as a 2nd generation Mormon, the third of four siblings. An idealist at heart, Mark took his faith seriously and sought to please all the right people by doing all the right things, sometimes at the expense of being true to himself. At nineteen, he went on an LDS mission to Florida where he learned valuable lessons from the Haitian community there: levity in the face of hardship, faith in God's ability to communicate with His children according to individual need, and how to eat enormous amounts of rice in one sitting.

Robert grew up in Oregon and is 7th generation Mormon. When his family found out that he was gay, he was kicked out and disowned. He took what little money and clothing he had and bought a Greyhound bus ticket to Portland, Oregon.
"My first night sleeping on the street was very cold and rainy. On my second night in an effort to try to sleep indoors out of the cold put me in a situation that ended with me being raped." A few days later he was able to find a shelter for homeless youth. In the following months he found a paid internship and permanent housing.

Oh thank goodness Thursday is here! It was one of those weeks where on Monday I was wanting it to be Friday. Is that bad? Maybe a little... So instead of holding my breath that Friday just appears, I'm linking up for Neely and Amber's "It's OK Thursday."
It's ok...
...that I am counting down the days until M moves in.
...that I'm also counting down all the months (and days) until I get to finally meet many of you lovely ladies!
...that I had beer and wings on a Wednesday night.
...that the service at the restaurant was terrible, and we didn't want to tip, but still did anyways.
...that I saw Chronicle last night and am slightly traumatized.
...that I slept with a light on because of the movie.
...that I got a manicure during my lunch break yesterday with my co-worker who has become a very good girlfriend.
...that I sometimes read blogs, but don't comment because I feel like a flaky comment is worse than no comment at all.
...that I made cake balls as a pre-Valentine's Day treat and am the only person who's eaten them. (Yes, half of them are gone.)
...that I just want to spend the entire day snuggled up on the couch watching movies and taking naps.
...that I love M so dang much, and I want to tell him what I got him for Valentine's Day!
What are you saying it's ok about today?

Published October 18, 2013
English poet Robert Graves reportedly once said: "There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money either."
He was wrong, at least when it comes to beloved American poet Robert Frost.
In two months, UB raised more than $65,000 to create an endowment to support its prized collection of Frost materials, officially known as the Victor E. Reichert Robert Frost Collection. Additionally, the endowment will fund an annual event that honors Frost and could enable UB to make new Frost-related acquisitions.
"Support for the humanities, especially poetry, has been and continues to be incredibly strong in the Buffalo Niagara region," says Michael Basinski, curator of the Poetry Collection of the University Libraries. "We would like to thank our generous donors, particularly Jonathan Reichert, who helped ensure these treasured materials receive the care and attention they so richly deserve."
A UB professor emeritus of physics, Reichert donated the collection to UB in January. It includes letters, photographs, audio recordings and other documents that chronicle the 24-year friendship between Frost and his father, the late Victor E. Reichert, a Cincinnati rabbi.
Perhaps more so than any other Frost collection, it could illuminate views on the poet's religious beliefs, which have been the subject of debate for decades.
"The collection was my father's treasure. It is a small, but not insignificant, part of American literature," Reichert says. "Now it has a permanent home where it will live for all to examine, to study, to interpret, to debate and to learn."
In addition to the collection, Reichert pledged $50,000 for the endowment if UB could raise $15,000. The Poetry Collection began soliciting donations in July and to date has raised nearly $20,000. So far, 79 groups or individuals have donated.
For more information about the collection, visit the Poetry Collection website.
Those interested in donating to the endowment should contact Don Elick, director of development, at 716-881-8206 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Online donations are accepted at the UB Giving website.
Founded in 1937, the Poetry Collection includes one of the world's foremost collections of James Joyce materials, as well as significant collections on Dylan Thomas, William Carlos Williams, Robert Duncan and other writers and poets, including Graves.

All Natural:To meet our All Natural standard, products must be close to 100% natural, made from pure, natural materials such as cotton, wool, wood, silk or all natural ingredients. We only source products made without harmful chemicals, formaldehyde finishes and other toxins, but the all-natural label goes a step beyond this ensuring you are purchasing products that contain the least amount of synthetic or made-made materials/ingredients.
Non-Toxic:Products for our infants, children and families should not contain toxic chemicals such as BPA, PVC (vinyl), phthalates, lead, cadmium or synthetic fragrances. The reality is, many products brought into our homes do contain toxins we can avoid. Our collection of healthier product alternatives are the safest and best product options we have found.
Sustainable:A healthy planet ensures the future health of our children. While every product we carry is non-toxic, many are also made in whole or in part with recycled (or recyclable) parts and/or components, derived from sustainably harvested forests and may be biodegradable. Most importantly, we prefer products that are reusable first, replacing use and toss items.
Handmade:Products made by hand offer a quality, skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing. Purchasing the handmade work of skilled artisans helps to grow and nourish the families and communities where these products are lovingly created, and ensures our ties to the local and human sources of our goods is never lost.
Good Value:Quality, long-lasting, reusable and multi-use items are high on our list of criteria for products that meet our Good Value standard. Often times this will mean a product will help you save money over the long term, either by replacing use-and-toss items or by offering more than one use which extends the life of the product well into the future.

Knowledge for Better Philanthropy
We support the creation and dissemination of knowledge about philanthropy, philanthropic practice, and related topics to inform, influence and improve funders' thinking and decision-making. To achieve this goal, we have supported research, analysis, writing and the development of tools on effective philanthropy by academic centers, consulting firms, philanthropic sector organizations and other practitioners. Of course, knowledge is only useful if it gets into the hands of those who can use it, so we also supported dissemination efforts – some by the knowledge-generating organizations and some via additional channels including journals, websites and social media.
We conducted an independent, third party evaluation of this strategy in 2013. Based on the evaluation findings and recommendations, we will continue to pursue this strategy and are currently considering refinements and enhancements we might make to further strengthen the knowledge sector for the field of philanthropy.
The Effective Philanthropy Group is not accepting unsolicited Letters of Inquiry for its Knowledge for Better Philanthropy grantmaking.

Past editorial Intern: Shelly (Lammers) O'Leary
Shelly (Lammers) O'Leary, 1997
University of Wisconsin-Madison
I am married to Josh O'Leary and live in rural Waupun, Wis. I'm currently self-employed as an advanced director and trainer with Pampered Chef.
Hoard's helped me to land my first full-time job as communications specialist at East Central/Select Sires (where I interviewed, selected and worked with summer interns of my own.) It taught me to be resourceful and independent. This was key when figuring out what copy/photos could be useful in the months ahead finding suitable people/companies to interview for the topic and coordinate more than one stop if traveling a long distance. We were always on the lookout for photo opportunities for the "photo file" . . . and we did all of this before cellphones, tablets, the internet and digital cameras.
As part of my job, I helped discern which letters from readers and press releases might be valuable editorial. One day while I was going through the incoming mail, I discovered a press release encouraging college-age ag students to apply for scholarships for international agricultural exchange programs. I contacted the organization for more information and ended up being selected to live in Switzerland with a host-farm family for six months (and I won a scholarship, too.) That decision to live in a foreign country with a family I'd never met and learning about their methods of dairy, beef and crop agriculture was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I learned so much throughout my time there — from Ewing Row, Steve Larson, Marlene Brunner and Corey Geiger (editorial staff). In my subsequent full-time job at EC/SS, I found myself modeling Corey's leadership and work ethic frequently, whether working with customers, co-workers or advising my own summer interns. One of the things I most respected about Corey was the way he owned up to a mistake if he made one. As a young adult who might have preferred to keep quiet and admit my ball-dropping later in a more private setting, I was impressed, and I respected him for simply being candid about it.

Gary Baier who is an Oneida County Supervisor and Chairperson of the Town of Nokomis recently proposed to the Oneida County Forestry, Land and Outdoor Recreation Committee that all county forest road that are currently gated or bermed to opened to motorized vehicles. I regard this as irresponsible. All county lands are open to the public. The county has chosen to limit access to some areas to prevent environmental destruction of these lands and preserve the taxpayers property for all to enjoy. Many of us want to be out in the woods for its pristine beauty and silence, not to be dodging ATV's and 4 Wheel drive pickup trucks. Anytime lands are open to the "gas fumers" and the silent sports people, you're asking for user conflicts. These people have different values and should be separated. According to Oneida County Forest and Outdoor Recreation Director John Bilogan motorized vehicles still have access to 75 percent of all county forestlands.
Mr. Baier is an ATV enthusiast and lives near county lands. It is believed he has his own interests in mind. In the committee meeting Mr. Baier stated he was concerned about how much money the county is spending on cabling off roads. How much does a cable cost and how much would it cost to repair the destruction from ATV abuse. We need to be good stewards of the land for the present and future generations to enjoy. I am disappointed in Mr. Baier's attitude.

For Kids: Taking Your Insulin
For Kids: Taking Your Insulin
Glucose is the fuel the body gets from food and uses for energy. To use this fuel, your body needs to make something called insulin. The problem is, your body isn't making the insulin it needs. The missing insulin needs to be replaced. You can't take insulin as a pill because your stomach will destroy it. So, insulin must be injected into your body. Injecting insulin may seem scary for you at first. But don't worry, you'll have help from your parents and your healthcare team. They'll show you the right way to give yourself insulin injections.
Feeling Nervous Is Normal
Giving yourself an insulin injection for the first time can be scary. You may be worried that the shot will hurt or you'll make a mistake. It's normal to feel nervous about these things. Most people with diabetes are scared to give themselves insulin injections in the beginning. Even your parents were probably nervous giving you your first insulin shot. But after a few times, they got the hang of it. With a little practice, you'll get the hang of injections, too. And pretty soon you won't feel nervous or scared at all!
Types of Insulin
There are many types of insulin. Types you will use are:
Fast-acting insulin. Fast-acting insulin is taken with meals (you have to eat within 15 minutes of taking it).
Intermediate-acting insulin. Intermediate-acting insulin takes longer to start working than fast-acting insulin. But it stays in your bloodstream longer.
Long-acting insulin. Long-acting insulin makes sure there is a little insulin in your bloodstream at all times. It helps keep your blood sugar in control.
Sometimes different types of insulin are mixed together and taken at the same time. Your healthcare team will tell you what's right for you.
Using a Syringe
ALWAYS test your blood sugar before injecting insulin. Blood sugar readings help you decide how much insulin to give yourself. When injecting insulin, make sure you inject into the fat just under the skin. Most people with diabetes inject using a syringe. Follow these steps for injecting insulin with a syringe:
Step 1: Getting ready
Gather your supplies. Here's what you'll need:
A new syringe
Alcohol wipes
Special container to throw out the old needle (sharps container). This can be bought at a drugstore or medical supply store. Or, you can use any puncture-proof container with a puncture-proof lid, like an empty laundry detergent bottle.
Parent, teacher, or other adult to supervise
Wash your hands. Use soap and warm water.
Clean the insulin bottle. Wipe the top of the rubber TOP of the insulin bottle with an alcohol wipe.
Prepare the insulin. If you use the cloudy type of insulin (not the clear stuff), roll the bottle gently between your hands about 20 times. Don't shake the insulin. And don't use cold insulin. Instead, keep one bottle at room temperature and put the rest in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Preparing the syringe
Remove the syringe from its package.
Take the cap off the needle.
Draw air into the syringe. Pull back the plunger to get air into the syringe. Pull the plunger back to the mark (line) for the number of units of insulin you want to inject. NOTE: The mark on the syringe nearest the needle is 0 (not 1).
Inject air into the insulin bottle. Hold the bottle on a flat surface with one hand. With your other hand, hold the syringe straight up and down. Slowly push in the plunger to inject air into the bottle. (Injecting air makes it easier to draw out the insulin.)
Turn the syringe and bottle upside down. Keep the needle in the stopper. Flip the syringe and bottle so that the bottle is now on top and the syringe is on the bottom. Be careful not to bend the needle when tipping the insulin bottle.
Draw insulin into the syringe. Keep the tip of the needle below the level of insulin in the bottle. You may need to pull the needle out a little. (This is to keep air from getting into the syringe.) Slowly pull back the plunger to draw in the number of units of insulin you want to inject.
Check for air bubbles. Gently tap the syringe while the needle is still in the stopper. The air bubbles will move to the top of the syringe. Push the plunger in a tiny bit to release the air bubbles back into the insulin bottle. (Another way to get rid of air bubbles is to slowly push all the insulin back into the bottle and then redraw the entire amount. This time, pull back the plunger even more gently to avoid air bubbles.)
Remove the needle from the insulin bottle.
Step 3: Giving the injection
Clean the injection site. Use an alcohol wipe to clean off the area of skin you're going to inject. Let the area air-dry. If the skin is wet with alcohol, the injection will sting.
Pinch an inch of skin. This is to make sure you don't inject into a muscle. Injecting into muscle can be more painful.
Insert the needle. Insert the needle into the skin, like your healthcare team showed you. Remember the angle they showed you, too. Push the needle in until you can't see it anymore.
Inject the insulin. Slowly push in the plunger until the syringe is empty. Count to 5 before pulling out the needle.
Step 4: Removing the needle
Pull the needle from the skin.
Watch the injection site for leaking insulin and blood. If the site bleeds, dab it with a cotton ball or tissue. If insulin leaks, ask your healthcare team to check your injection technique the next time you see them.
Step 5: After the injection
Put the syringe directly in a sharps container. Don't lay it down anywhere. And don't recap the needle. Never throw out a syringe in the regular garbage. Someone taking out the trash or picking it up from your house could be stuck by the needle.
Be sure you eat within 15 minutes of injecting fast-acting insulin (the kind used before meals).
Using Insulin Pens
You can also use injection pens to get the insulin you need. Injection pens look like pens you use to write with. Just like a regular pen holds ink, insulin pens hold cartridges of insulin. A new needle is screwed onto the pen each time you give an insulin injection. When you give yourself an injection, insulin comes out of the tip of the needle just like ink comes out of a pen when you write. There are different kinds of insulin pens. Your healthcare team will tell you which pen is best for you. They will also show you how to use the pen.
Tips for Pen Users
Wash your hands and clean the injection site with soap and water or an alcohol pad before the shot. This helps keep the site from getting infected.
Use a new needle each time you inject.
Never leave the needle on the pen when you're not using it.
Before injecting, tap the needle with your fingertip to get rid of air bubbles. Then test the pen by pressing the injection button all the way. Insulin should come out of the needle when you do this. If not, check for air bubbles again. Then test again. If no insulin comes out after three tries, start over with a new needle.
Push the button down all the way. Then count to 10 while injecting the insulin (pens take longer than syringes to deliver insulin).
Cool It
Cool it, don't freeze it! Keeping insulin in the refrigerator—and not the freezer—is just one rule for storing insulin. Here are some other rules you must know:
X Marks the Injection Spot
Okay, there's no "X" to show you right where to inject insulin. That's why it's up to you to find the best spot. When choosing a site, keep these facts in mind:
Fact #1: You can inject insulin in the upper back part of your arms, buttocks, the top or sides of your thighs, and your stomach. (Stay at least 2 inches away from the belly button.)
Fact #2: Insulin works fastest when injected into the skin of your stomach.
Fact #3: It's not good to inject insulin in the same site every time. If you do, the skin will scar and become thick, making it harder for insulin to do its job. That's why you need to switch up injection sites often. Leave about 1 inch between injection sites. And never inject into moles, cuts, scars, or broken blood vessels (purplish bruises).
Fact #4: Injecting into a leg or arm that you plan to exercise is a bad idea. For example, if you run, don't inject into your legs before you exercise because the insulin will absorb too fast when you run.
Ready or Not
If you don't feel ready to give yourself insulin shots, you don't have to. Tell your parents or a member of your healthcare team how you're feeling. They will support you and help you when you do decide to start giving yourself insulin. But until you're ready, someone else will give you your insulin shots.

Library management at Webscale. OCLC WorldShare Management Services (WMS) provides libraries with a new approach to managing library services cooperatively, including integrated acquisitions, cataloging, circulation, patron administration, resource sharing and e-resource management. OCLC WorldShare services and applications eliminate traditional operational silos and deliver new efficiencies in library management, freeing libraries from the restrictions of local hardware and software to provide more time to focus on serving users and communities.
A platform for collective innovation. The OCLC WorldShare Platform is the technical infrastructure on which OCLC's Webscale services are built and provides data, tools and services for library developers, users and partners to create and share applications collectively. Libraries can build applications to meet local needs, while benefiting from the innovation of the broader global library community.
A foundation of shared data. WorldCat represents a "collective collection" of the world's libraries, built through the contributions of librarians, expanded and enhanced through individual, regional and national programs. WorldCat represents the electronic and digital materials most in demand by information seekers, as well as the important, unique items found only in local libraries.
Discovery and delivery at Webscale. OCLC's discovery services allow libraries to expand their visibility and reach on the Web by connecting information seekers directly to the relevant information in their collections. WorldCat.org makes the items in libraries' collections visible and available on the open Web. WorldCat Local customizes and enhances this service for a specific institution or consortium. Partnerships with major search engines and hundreds of other content suppliers and aggregators provide discovery and delivery of library materials in the broadest Web environment. Library materials are integrated into the workflows of scholars, researchers and information seekers.
OCLC is a worldwide library cooperative, owned, governed and sustained by members since 1967. Our public purpose is a statement of commitment to each other—that we will work together to improve access to the information held in libraries around the globe, and find ways to reduce costs for libraries through collaboration.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
During the decades of increasing NIH budgets, the process and mechanism for funding biomedical research in the U.S. was largely successful. However, with the onset of level or decreased funding following the golden era of budget doubling, the current system is crashing and major changes are sorely needed.
The distress signs in the current system are clear from the numbers.
The NIH contract grant system evolved at a time of rapid expansion in the biomedical research establishment and worked reasonably well with a high ratio of funds to investigators. At the current ratio, however, the system wastes enormous human resources and creates an environment of intense competition that corrodes the scientific method.
Universities are typically closer to industrial parks than they are to academic establishments. Faculty are welcome to stay as long as they can pay their rent in the form of research grants. These grants support not only their research costs but also their salaries and the salaries of administrators who have no choice but to show them the door should their grant support run dry.
Scholarship, collegiality, teaching, even honesty, have become quaint and antiquated qualities in the current world of pay-as-you-go biomedical research. As elsewhere in U.S. society, the dollar reigns supreme and scientists are promoted and fêted based on their funding success and little else.
There are steep costs to all of this. Such intense competition leads to data fudging and outright fraud, corrupting the heart of science. The best scientists are not necessarily the best at obtaining funding. Creativity and curiosity often take a back seat to incrementalism cleverly packaged and sold as a quick path to translational success. Bright, ambitious students shy away from a career that pays poorly for decades and leads even the most successful to a precarious job with intense, career-long competition just to stay employed.
We believe it is time for scientists to rethink the system for performing and funding biomedical research. Surely, we can devise a system that:
We believe that, while not perfect, the NIH intramural system provides a starting model for such a sustainable and equitable system. Laboratories are funded based on the topic of investigation: the costs of clinical and animal studies, generally higher than in vitro studies, are fully covered. "Fully" means just that: all salaries, benefits, supplies, services, and overhead costs are included. Continued support is based on not what NIH investigators propose to discover, but on what they have actually discovered during the prior four years.
The nearly universally acknowledged truth is that scientists who have had good ideas over the years leading to published discoveries will continue to be productive without the need to prove themselves every grant cycle. Labs are moderately sized (seven to ten members) and do not expand over the years, encouraging active collaboration between groups, further fostered by lack of competition between groups for funding.
We propose that this system be extended to university-based investigators. Investigators recruited to the new system would be directly and fully funded by the NIH. Support would be sufficient for a medium-sized lab (up to 10 members), and would preclude receiving additional NIH funding.
Those who apply would be selected on their record of productivity. Since many successful investigators will likely have larger groups, the new system could actually free resources to increase the number of investigators supported by NIH. Tenure-track investigators could be easily recruited into this system just as they are now, based on their record of accomplishment as students and post docs and their proposed course of investigation.
We believe this system would promote more collegial, creative, and productive basic research, as investigators are freed from grant writing to explore the unknown. However, implementing such a system requires that the long-term benefits of basic biological research are clearly recognized as a core mission of NIH funding.
A key part of reforming biomedical research is to quantitatively compare the current system vs. whatever new systems are implemented. Comparisons should include not just scientific productivity by standard metrics, but also measures of happiness, satisfaction, and career progression of young scientists.
Creating a sustainable system means making science an attractive and reasonable career choice for the best and brightest. To a remarkable extent, American youth are idealistic and willing, even anxious, to contribute positively to society. There is tangible evidence of this, based on the number of students actively seeking internships at the NIH each summer, as applicants exceed positions at a ratio of roughly five to one.
To tap this communal spirit, we need to make science a career that offers a reasonable prospect of stability, and allows young scientists the opportunity to have a satisfying personal life in addition to a meaningful and productive professional experience.

Just saw a comment from him over at HFboards yesterday and had a good belly laugh reading everyone else commenting on his irrational love of Hudler over there as well. Some things clearly never change.
For a real good laugh go read pretty much anything posted in the general hockey discussion area. I've seen some of the stupidest comments in my entire hockey following life posted there.
And Brunner isn't a liability on defense. A liability is someone like Patrick Kane who sees the puck in his own end, the other team possessing it in good position, and decides to just skate away from Pavel Datsyuk for a hypothetical breakout pass. Or Ilya Kovalchuk when he would just do figure eights by the blue line/neutral zone looking for a pass for a breakaway or odd man rush. Brunner backchecks and actually tries. He's not making the best reads compared to the rest of our team (still by far the best group of defensive forwards in the game) but he's back there trying and I've seen a few good plays from him.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Choosing Your Child's Health Care Provider Babies and children are not just small adults--their health care needs are different. So, it is important to find a health care professional that can provide specialized care. As a baby grows and develops, a health care provider is essential for routine care as well as when illnesses or injuries occur. A pediatrician, family practice doctor, physician's assistant, or pediatric nurse practitioner can be your baby's primary care provider. The medical specialty dealing with children is called pediatrics. What care does a primary care provider give? These providers may care for children from the time they are newborns until 21 years of age. They provide: Well child care Preventive health including immunizations and screening Support Education Guidance for caregivers Care for illnesses and injuries Referrals to specialists as needed Choosing a health care provider Choosing a provider for your child is an important part of preparing for a new baby. There are many things to consider including their training and experience, as well as the office location, hours, and routines. Finding a provider is not hard, but you need to begin as soon as possible. You can ask the health care professional who delivered your baby for names, and talk with other parents about their provider. It is often a good idea to meet with 2 or 3 prospective providers before your baby is born. Many health care providers offer a special time for parents to come and visit the office, learn about the providers and staff, and ask questions. There may or may not be a charge for this visit. Listed below are some things to consider when choosing a health care provider: Location Is the office near your home or place of work? How long does it take to get there during rush hour? Is parking convenient? Does the practice have more than one office? Are the same providers at the same offices all the time? The office What are the office hours? Are there weekend and/or evening hours? How do you make an appointment? How long does it take to get a well-child appointment? How long does it take to get a sick-child appointment? What about payments and billing? Is this provider listed on your insurance plan? What hospital is the provider affiliated with? Is this compatible with your insurance plan? How long do you have to wait in the office before you are seen? Is there a separate waiting area for sick children? Do the office staff seem friendly and interested in children? The provider Ask about the provider's training and experience. Does he/she have a specialty or area of interest? Is he or she board-certified, and if so, has he or she re-certified recently? Ask about the provider's opinion on immunization, and use of medications, particularly antibiotics and over-the-counter medications. Does he or she prescribe medications over the phone? Will your child see the same provider for all visits? What happens if your child gets sick during the night or on weekends? Who do you call? As you talk with the provider and the office staff, you will develop a sense of whether they have the same philosophy of child raising as you do. You can also talk with other parents to find out their experiences and recommendations. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers a referral service for help in finding a qualified health care provider or specialist. Medical Reviewers: Holloway, Beth, RN, M.Ed.

LOCKPORT – A North Tonawanda man, arraigned on his latest set of drunken driving charges Wednesday, was jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail set by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas after she learned some of his history.
Raymond B. Miller Jr., 55, of Wurlitzer Drive, pleaded not guilty to felony driving while intoxicated, speeding and failure to signal a turn, stemming from his arrest Aug. 21 in North Tonawanda, where he allegedly refused the breath test.
Deputy District Attorney Theodore A. Brenner said Miller "has a 24-page rap sheet," and this is his 10th DWI arrest. Brenner told Farkas that Miller had absconded from a Niagara County Court DWI case in 2004 and wasn't found until he was arrested on another DWI charge in downstate New York two years later. He served 2½ years in state prison in the Niagara County case.
"He's a flight risk," Farkas declared as she ordered Miller jailed on the high bail to await trial.

The 6 Most Insane Covers in the History of Old Magazines
"Stag mags" were lifestyle publications in a time when "puberty" was an affectionate nickname for the draft and women could only vote if they balanced on a man's shoulders so it could be said that they technically had a penis between their legs. Stags were also called "sweat mags," and had names like MALE, REAL MEN, and KEN FOR MEN, because sexuality, like time, is a circle, and if you go too far straight, you find yourself right back at gay again.
Their covers were universally badass: stubbly, desperate men absolutely destroying nature, callously drawn minorities, and the flimsy shirts of women with equal frenzy. Their titles were always spelled out in brutal, hard-edged fonts with gigantic consonants you could peel off the page and use to bludgeon a communist to death.
And their teaser headlines promised grand tales of intrigue, murder, eroticism, and intriguingly murderous eroticism -- which is too bad, because we'll never actually read the stories they were teasing. Stag mags were cheap throw-away publications that did not stand the test of time, and most of their contents are impossible to find these days. All we really have left are these ridiculous cover scans. So we'll just have to deduce, to the best of our ability, what those headlines are so desperately trying to tell us in between their uncontrollable bouts of Testosterone Tourette's.
This installment will focus solely on ACTION FOR MEN magazine. And you're probably just going to have to trust me that these are all real, unless you want to type "action for men" into your browser and learn all about the best ways to get plowed by a trucker in the bathroom of a Red Robin.
#6. White-Girls Are the Scourge of the Earth
Basic logic dictates that the cover illustration has something to do with one of the teaser headlines, right? This one is probably depicting some part of "Jet Stream Joy Girl" -- an insurmountably random slurry of English that would be more at home on the back of a cartoon-themed Japanese vibrator. And while the promise of Vespa-riding harlots gunning down hippies at the baggage claim is certainly intriguing, it's the little headline at the bottom right that I keep coming back to.
If you had the balls to suggest a copy editor to the hard-bitten, J. Jonah Jameson-esque manager of one of these magazines back in the day, I'm certain you'd find that your smug liberal college education had been smacked right out of your face before you even finished the sentence. But still, the phrasing there -- "'Avenging Angel' of Africa's White-Girl Massacre" -- is so clumsy that it leaves the sentence open to two completely different interpretations. Somebody is avenging a massacre of white-girls that took place in Africa, or else somebody is avenging the massacre that white-girls have enacted upon Africa. And judging by the cover -- those scantily clad trollops pulling drive-bys on the bleary-eyed customers of Delta 443 -- I'm inclined to believe the latter. Those murderous white-girls went too far this time, and now it's up to Hell-Diver O'Shea to avenge the dark continent the only way he knows how: with his penis.
Hey, they don't call him "Hell-Diver" because he "goes deep" in the ocean.
#5. Sex Crimes and Doubloons
Everything in this magazine is naked and in trouble. Look at those headlines: from "The Nude Captives of Guerilla Island" to "The Cycle Nymphs Who Stalk America." This is apparently the special Pantsless Crime Edition of ACTION FOR MEN. Hell, even inanimate objects aren't making it out of this issue with their orifices intact. They ain't just pillaging that treasure, friend ...
I'm not making any tasteless jokes here. Treasure rape is a serious crime. Every 12 minutes, somebody puts their dick in a crown and says, "Kneel before the king!" Please, donate what you can now. Here's Sarah McLachlan:
"In the aaaarms of an aaaangeeeeel ..."
#4. Just a Literary Beard for Porn
Well, this seems straightforward enough: The cover is just depicting a thrilling tableau of wartime escape complete wi- wait, what's that in the upper right?
Well, I suppose that's straightforward enough, too: This is a story about pornography. "Dr. Cream and the Nighttime Girls of London" is the most clear and unabashed porn title since I Am Going to Fuck You IV: The Fuckening.
No, don't Google that; I know it sounds awesome, but trust me: The Fuckening takes that no-nonsense approach throughout the entire film. Just 45 straight minutes of quietly unhappy missionary beneath a coverless duvet.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A relatively large, yellowish brown freshwater unionid commonly found throughout the midwestern United States. This bivalve can be identified by its heavy shell, shallow depth of beak cavity, large pseudocardinal teeth and oblong shape. Young show distinct green rays radiating from the beak. While commonly defined as mussels, many leading malacologists identify muckets as unionids seperate from mussels. A distinguishing difference is that they lack the byssal threads used by many bivalves, including mussels, to hold themselves to rocks and other fixed structures. Several other species, such as the Pink Mucket, utilize the common name but are of a different subfamily.
P. Mollusca
C. Bivalvia
O. Unionoida
F. Unionidae
