Asian Values or East Asianism RevisitedSession Organizer
Seung-Kuk KIM, Pusan National University, Korea, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session starts from the critical reflection that the Asian values debate in 1990s is not finished but an ongoing civilizational question raised already in the late 19th and early 20th century in East Asia when the "modern" West (& Japan as an early adapter) and the "un-modern" East clashed. With the rise of East Asia in post-modern context, East Asian values do matter again.
The session invites papers that consider the following issues:
- The historical legacy of East Asianism as a reaction to the imperialist Westernization/modernization in the past and also currently as a (post-modern) global trend of Easternization;
- The identity project of East Asia in transformation which may contribute to the diffusion of new global value orientations in line with Takeuchi Yoshimi in particular;
- The contested vision for East Asian Community through which alternative social formations are imagined and built (in contrast to European Union).
Civil Societies in Comparative, Institutional, and Theoretical TermsSession Organizer
Jason MAST, University of Warwick, United Kingdom, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Much recent theorizing and empirical research has placed civil society back into the center of social scientific discourse. Civil societies increasingly address issues global in scale, such as climate change, economic crises, and intra- and international armed conflicts and humanitarian efforts. This session is particularly focused on how public opinion formations within civil societies either shape or fail to shape state actions on international issues, and on how differences between civil societies direct international relations toward conflict or cooperation. The session is also open to research that examines differences between civil societies, either across nations or over time, in terms of their varying cultural and discursive structures, their institutional logics, their paths to formation, or their modes of inclusion and exclusion.
Contested Modernities in Theory and PracticeSession Organizer
Isaac REED, University of Colorado, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
"Modernity" is both a central organizing concept in abstract social theory and an inflamed point of disputation. The "multiple modernities" rendering of the concept has been both hailed as a new paradigm for our age and criticized as a retread of modernization theory. Sociological theories of globalization often contain within them a notion of spreading or diffusing modernity or postmodernity, while other accounts of the contemporary globe argue that diffusionist models are insufficient to understand the history, power politics, and violence of "modernity." Simultaneous to all of these theorizing, discourses of modernity are a central feature of the postcolonial era, mobilized by all sorts of individual and corporate actors for various political, economic, and cultural purposes. This session will explore how careful theorizing about modernity can enable better analysis of its uses and abuses.
Cosmopolitanism, Nationalism and Political SpaceSession Organizer
Gilles VERPRAET, CNRS, France, email@example.com
Session in English
The notions of cosmopolitanism exceed the nationalist positioning (Beck, Delanty), so to recognize the different cultures (Jullien), and to promote a reciprocity of perspectives (Schutz). The first step intends to question the conditions of intersubjectivity inside the transnational spaces when exist some cosmopolitan stages (Saito). It invites to develop the pragmatic studies of cosmopolitan relations (N Anderson). In a second stance, the sociological elaboration on the reciprocity of perspectives may enlighten the conditions of reciprocity inside international relations. At this level, can be considered the Asian debates between monologic universalism and dialogic universalism (Shijun). How to elaborate a culture-focused universalism?
The session is concerned with thick descriptions of the cosmopolitan encounters considering their symbolic performances (Alexander, 2006) It questions the new styles of action that are developed in the micro/ macro links (Giesen), the political subjects who are connecting the global and the local issues. In this framework can be specified the new conditions for transnational solidarities, the connections of public spheres between Polis, nation and cosmopolitanism, the new relations between center and periphery, the north/south solidarities.
Cultural Pragmatics and Social Theory: The Implications of Performance Theory for the Study of SocietySession Organizer
Jeffrey ALEXANDER, Yale University, USA, email@example.com
Session in English
Over the last decade, macro-sociological theory has made significant strides in conceptualizing groups, individuals, and institutions in terms of social performance. Earlier, the concept of performance related principally to the microsociological, Goffmanian tradition. The new development, by contrast, links classical and modern traditions of social theory with aesthetic theories of theatre, drama, and film. Contributors to this session are asked either to reflect on this recent performative turn in cultural sociology, providing new interpretations, or to advance this turn, demonstrating how cultural pragmatics, or other performative theories, can bring new perspectives to bear on social problems and/or on particular sociological fields.
Discovering and Locating the Legacies of Japanese Sociological TheoriesSession Organizer
Takashi OKUMURA, Rikkyo University, Japan, email@example.com
Session in English
Sociological theories in Japan have been developing under vast and profound influences of Western sociology. We can count, however, some very productive and original sociologists, whose theories would have had possibilities to give strong impacts to the rest of the world if their works had been translated into English on publication. For example, works of Munesuke Mita (1937- ) about social consciousness (including "The Hell of Others' Eyes" (1973) and Comparative Sociology of Time (1981)), those of Keiichi Sakuta (1922- ) on the deep structure of society (The Destiny of Individualism (1981) and Towards the Sociology of Becoming (1993)), and system theory of Tamito Yoshida (1931-2009) about information and possession (Theory of Information and Self-organization (1990) and Theory of Possession and Subjectivity (1991)) would be among them.
Supposing Japanese sociologists now represent their (or some other important theorists') original ideas properly after a few decades (in English, of course!), how will sociologists from the world react to them and locate them into their theoretical frameworks? This session is welcoming papers dealing with these legacies of Japanese sociology by members from Japan mainly (but not exclusively), with a hope to have stimulating discussions with participants from the world at the venue.
Entertainment, Leisure, Sport, and Civil SocietySession Organizer
Ronald JACOBS, University at Albany, USA, email@example.com
Session in English
Theories of civil society generally take as their object political discourse, social crisis, cultural trauma, and other events that typically get covered in the front pages of the newspaper. For many individuals, groups, and communities, however, their most significant civic investments are directed toward sports, leisure activities, and other forms of entertainment. This session invites papers that consider the roles that these kinds of entertainment practices play in organizing civic life and public sphere communications.
Intellectuals and PoliticsSession Organizer
Patrick BAERT, Cambridge University, United Kingdom, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session explores the various sociological approaches to the study of intellectuals. We hope to include theoretically informed empirical contributions as well as theoretical reflections on the sociology of intellectuals. We also welcome studies of the phenomenon of public intellectuals, including papers that engage with new forms of public engagement.
Issues, Problems, and Potential in the Study of Symbolic ViolenceSession Organizers
Mustafa EMIRBAYER, University of Wisconsin, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Erik SCHNEIDERHAN, University of Toronto, Canada, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Weber observed that domination cannot sustain itself indefinitely through sheer force alone, while Bourdieu spoke extensively of "symbolic violence," the perpetuation of domination through the active complicity of the dominated. This panel examines closely the processes and mechanisms of symbolic violence – and also reflects critically on the concept itself, its strengths and weaknesses, and its place in the tradition of sociological theorizing. Papers of both theoretical and substantive nature are welcomed.
Japanese Contemporary Social Theory Seen from the Inside and OutsideSession Organizers
Anthony ELLIOTT, University of South Australia, Australia, firstname.lastname@example.com
Atsushi SAWAI, Keio University, Japan, email@example.com
Masataka KATAGIRI, Chiba University, Japan
Session in English
Organizers have published Routledge Companion to Contemporary Japanese Social Theory in 2012. The book introduces, contextualizes and critiques social theories in the broader context of Japanese society, culture and politics with particular emphasis upon Japanese engagements and revision of major traditions of social thoughts. Divided into two parts, the book survey traditions of social thoughts in Japanese social science and presents the major social issues facing contemporary Japan. On the bases of the book, organizers collect presenters including contributors of the book and hold session to examine the possibilities and difficulties of the development of Japanese contemporary social thought seen from inside and outside.
Jeffrey Alexander in East AsiaSession Organizers
Seung-Kuk KIM, Pusan National University, Korea, firstname.lastname@example.com
Kiyomitsu YUI, Kobe University, Japan, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
East Asianizing (e.g. Japanizing, Chinizing, Taiwanizing or Koreanizing) the Western sociological theories and developing theories of East Asian style has been an urgent task for East Asian sociological theorists. We invite papers that critically consider, in the context of East Asian theory building, the sociological theories of Jeffery Alexander such as neo-functionalism, civil society, cultural sociology, etc. The theoretical quest for "provincializing Alexander" or "from Alexander to East Asian way of theorizing" is of particular interest. Papers dealing with the ways in which Alexander is specifically employed or modified in theory construction are also welcomed. (In our session, any individual country in East Asia may represent East Asia as a symbolic whole. East Asia is both an invention and a method.)
Media, Aesthetics, Representation: Theorizing Suffering, Expertise, and other Public ClaimsSession Organizer
Matthias REVERS, University at Albany, USA, email@example.com
Vikki BELL, Goldsmiths University, United Kingdom, email@example.com
Fuyuki KURASAWA, York University, Canada, email@example.com
Session in English
We have witnessed an increasing digitization of public communication and expansion of online spheres of action for the last two decades. In scholarly time, this is still fairly recent and, despite tremendous research efforts in this area, there is still a high demand for theories and analytical tools beyond science and technology studies approaches to characterize associated transformations and processes:
- Does the multiplicity of possible venues for self-expression facilitate or complicate the formation of identities?
- Are performances of coherent selves still possible in this increasingly complex augmented reality?
- What does knowledge and expertise mean in an environment where "crowd intelligence" diffuses horizontally?
Modernity and CritiqueSession Organizer
Craig BROWNE, University of Sydney, Australia, email@example.com
Session in English
This session considers whether there have been significant changes in the relationship between modernity and critique. It could be argued that critique is a core dimension of modernity, since it differentiated modernist perspectives from traditional justifications and critique could be related to the modern normative ideals of autonomy and progress. At the same time, modernity has been viewed as the precondition for the actualization of critique and it has been suggested that critique must be consistent with the rationality that is a basic stipulate of modernity.
Of course, these visions of an interconnection between modernity and critique have been subjected to a multitude of challenges, like those from feminist perspectives, postmodernist approaches, and postcolonial positions. There have been various redefinitions of each of the categories of modernity and critique in recent sociological theory, particularly in response to historically significant social changes and uncertainties concerning the trajectories of modernized and modernizing societies. These theoretical innovations have included arguments about the premodern sources of critique in the antinomian strands of world religions and popular culture, the elaboration of the contrast between critical sociology and the sociology of critique, and the debates within Critical Social Theory over the normative and political bases of critique in recognition and redistribution.
Similarly, different emphases have been given in recent sociological theory to the notion of modernity, with the accentuation of the institution of social imaginaries and distinctive cultural understandings of the world, the global character of modern institutions and the idea of variations within a common civilization that produces multiple modernities, and the highlighting of the crises and paradoxes that have ensued from preceding critiques and the transformation of capitalism in light of the social struggles attendant on critique. Papers are invited that address the conjunction between modifications in the conception of modernity and redefinitions of critique.
National FuturesSession Organizer
Brad WEST, University of South Australia, Australia, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session invites papers that examine the future of the nation and the establishment of interconnections between the global and national. Where once there was a general consensus that the nation is an outdated source of identity with little role to play in a 'global' future, an emerging literature is considering the possibilities of national re-enchantment, the significance of national entities in addressing global problems and broadly the different ways national traditions interact with postmodern forces. This works fills an important gap in the literature on global transformations. Despite most globalization scholars no longer assuming that cultural influences across state boundaries result in a mono-culture, the nation is frequently lost within the local/global binary.
The theme also addresses key failings within sociological theory that while long acknowledging the adaptive powers of capitalism, has conceived of the nation in terms of its inherent qualities that either endure or disintegrate in the face of contemporary socio-political change.
This session thus invites papers that seek to consider the ways in which the nation might have a viable future. Possible themes for papers are how national traditions withstand or incorporate global influences; the role of ritual in national collective memory being reimagined in culturally relevant ways and the constructive role the nation can play in addressing global issues such as climate change, humanitarian aid and terrorism.
Pollution, Defilement and DisgustSession Organizer
Philip SMITH, Yale University, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
It is a commonplace in cultural theory to suggest that arbitrary meanings establish boundaries. What is less often noticed is that some boundaries are stronger than others. Not merely cognitive, these evoke responses far more powerful than the raised eyebrows and rolled eyes that accompany, to note two recent examples, "poor" music choices or "profligate" lunch spending. The most powerful boundaries mark out visceral reservoirs of hatred horror and abjection. They also provide unique performative opportunities for ritual defilement and pleasurable transgression. Over the years theorists such as Douglas, Durkheim, Kristeva, Elias, Freud and Bataille have provided amazing insight into the world of the forbidden and revolting. The session is interested in work informed by their legacy, and in particular in studies that surpass and augment rather than merely deploy such familiar resources.
RC16 Business MeetingSession Organizer
Second-Modern Transformation in East and WestSession Organizer
Sang-Jin HAN, Seoul National University, Korea, email@example.com
Session in English
Central for the session is a self-conscious examination of the non-Western developmental experiences to open up a space in which the possibility of constructing an alternative social theory of second modernity can be jointly explored while constructively pursuing dialogue with the dominant Western social theories today. Particular attention will be paid to East Asia where a catch-up modernization has taken place successfully at the cost of the unanticipated consequences of complex risks, thereby producing enormous public demands for a new development. Against this background attempts will be made to examine why and how such themes as risk governance, individualization, family solidarity, cosmopolitan urban development, new media and citizens' participation, tradition and identity, human rights, and so on, have evolved in multiple historical trajectories while converging into an overall direction of second modernity.
Sociological Inquiry into the Theory of Modernization in JapanSession Organizers
Josuke AMADA, Ritsumeikan University, Japan, firstname.lastname@example.com
Kiyomitsu YUI, Kobe University, Japan, email@example.com
Session in English
How the theory of modernization has been developed and shaped as a social theory in a certain society is a question to be discussed sociologically. In particular, various developed countries experienced significant changes in norms and social systems after the 1960s, and sociologists in the latter half of the 20th century have struggled with how to theorize these changes. "Reflexive modernization" and "risk societies" have been discussed as examples of such theorizations, and within these theories modern society has been positioned as "late modernity."
Looking back at history, however, reveals that modernization of this kind, especially the reflexive dynamism which is spoken of as a characteristic of late modernity, is not that simple. The theory of modernization is especially complicated in the case of Japan, a country which began modernization later than its Western counterparts. The approach based on "overcoming modernity," for example, which emerged out of the "Kyoto school" of philosophers prior to the Second World War, held that Japan enjoyed a privileged position from which to respond to Western modernization because it is an Asian country and was a latecomer to modernization. There was also an attempt to construct a social theory based on the "self-application of modernization" which would "reflect on" the modernization that had arisen as "reflection on tradition" during a period of turmoil in the 1930s and 1940s, but at the same time the irony of the fact that this easy "self-application of modernization" was itself intertwined with tradition was also discussed. In this way theories of modernization in East Asia were in a sense developed in the form of piled-up "excessive refraction." This resulted in a unique posture of "distance" or "refraction" regarding socialism and "the social."
This session examines how social theory in modern Japan, in particular the theory of modernization, has been discussed within the context of historical dynamism, and how this discourse has been developed in relation to "the social." This discussion should clarify the distinctiveness of the theories of modernization that were developed in Japan and East Asia, and this XVIII ISA World Congress of Sociology held in Yokohama presents an especially suitable opportunity to examine this topic.
Theories of Materiality and Material CultureSession Organizer
Dominick BARTMANSKI, Masaryk University, Czech Republic, email@example.com
Session in English
One of the key challenges of meaning-centered cultural sociology is to face the findings of material culture studies and to come to terms with the implications of the iconic turn. The structuralist assumption of arbitrariness of cultural sign is of limited service in explaining the power of complex representational economies and its variability. There is ample evidence that most social signifiers are not just "the garb of meaning," to use the insightful phrase of the American anthropologist Webb Keane. Rather, the actual significatory structures and their material/aesthetic properties co-constitute meanings. Therefore more integrative and multidimensional models of culture in action are nowadays both needed and made possible by emergence of the systematic research agendas organized around such master categories as performativity, iconicity and materiality. This session is devoted to new explorations in these overlapping cutting-edge domains. The goal is to discuss their sociological promise and challenges, and ascertain how they transform cultural scholarship today.
Theorizing Circulation: Revisiting the Metaphors for the Travel of Culture, Ideas, And SymbolsSession Organizer
Gianpaolo BAIOCCHI, Brown University, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
There has been renewed attention across the social sciences and humanities to the issue of the circulation of culture, broadly conceived. This has come under many guises and has animated many a debate across disciplines – from the "diffusion of policy ideas" in political science, to the translation of scientific standards in STS, to the travel of culture in anthropology, among many others. At heart of each is a metaphor for the movement of ideas from place to place. This session invites papers that critically consider the theoretical problem of understanding that movement from a variety of perspectives.
Theorizing Legacy: Does the Past Have Power over Political EventsSession Organizer
Mabel BEREZIN, Cornell University, USA, email@example.com
Session in English
Analysts sometimes speak of legacies as if they were simple repetitions of the past in the present. In contrast to this static position, this panel argues that legacies represent the intersection of history and culture. Legacies are dynamic and ever re-combining. Legacies are sometimes dormant; they sometimes re-emerge in unexpected ways. This panel seeks papers that take this dynamic view of legacies to examine how the past may or may not influence the shape and trajectory of political events.
Theorizing SexualitySession Organizers
Giuseppe SCIORTINO, University of Trento, Italy, email@example.com
Martina CVAJNER, Yale University, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Sexuality is a hot topic in the social sciences. There is an expanding body of empirical research as well as a skyrocketing production of textbooks, handbooks and journals devoted to the analysis of the social studies of sexuality. There is an increasingly large body of ethnographic observations, large scale surveys and social histories available. The sociology of sexuality is a quickly maturing field, often potentially producing strategic research materials for a variety of classical sociological problems.
Theoretical developments, however, are lagging far behind. Most of what is considered theoretical debate is supported by political or ideological assumptions rather than by arguments rooted in analytic problems. It is possible to develop a sociological theory of sexuality able to understand adequately sexual behaviors and sexual meanings? The session is interested in works willing to explore conceptual frameworks and generalized arguments on the sociology of human sexuality.
Urban Space and Global CitiesSession Organizer
Agnes KU, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Cities can be seen as nodes within a global economy. The question of how the global and the local intersect in local economic development has received increasing attention in recent years from academics and policy thinkers alike.
This panel welcomes submissions that address issues related to the changing urban forms in the context of globalization, including but not confining to the following:
- how the cities seek to position, project or refashion their cultures in the global space through a project of urban entrepreneurialism;
- how the socio-economic, political and cultural processes take place whereby the "global city" project is shaped and contested in particular local contexts;
- how civil society creates spaces for cultural participation from below in the process of cultural globalization and urban development.
Visual Turn and Popular Culture: Anime, Manga and Comics in Japan, Korea and ChinaSession Organizer
Kiyomitso YUI, Kobe University, Japan, email@example.com
Session in English
In approaching to the phenomenon of visual popular cultures such as animation, manga and comics, in terms of theoretical framework of visual turn in sociology and W.J.T. Mitchell's conception of 'What pictures want?,' the session will be organized. While the presence of those popular cultures of 'Anime and Manga' in the world especially that of pivoting around the phenomenon of costume play called 'cosplay' is gaining more worldwide popularity, the scholarly investigation into the phenomenon has been limited to a shallow, journalistic and impressionistic scope. The session will invite those studies in deepening the theoretical insights into the phenomenon basically from the viewpoint of the visual turn of sociology. Especially welcome will be papers that compare the phenomena in Asian countries with that of the USA and Europe.
What's a Collective? The Ontology of Groups, Crowds and CrewsSession Organizers
Frederic VANDENBERGHE, University State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, email@example.com
Margaret ARCHER, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Half a century ago, we talked about the Proletariat, but without examining too closely the ontological status of collectives as distinct from collectivities: Does a collective exist? Is it just a name? Can it think as a group? Can it act, and if so, how? These questions remain and have re-surfaced in analytical philosophy and social theory. However, their conceptions are diverse and often represent incompatible ontologies of collectives and collective phenomena.
Recent theoretical developments in systems theory, network analysis, actor-network theory, critical realism, pragmatism, phenomenology and analytic philosophy allow for a reconsideration of the question of collective agency and re-conceptualisation of collective intentionality, collective subjectivity, collective reflexivity, plural subjects, intentional communities, coordination of action, etc. There is an upswing in 'Relational Sociology' but as it not always clear whether it is persons, groups, things or even relations that are related, this term covers the same spectrum of ontological differences. There are some 'relationists' who want to keep their ontology flat and others who endorse a stratified ontology of relationships and their emergent properties and powers. Papers are sought that address these central issues thematically.

Rules vs. No Rules. Adults vs. Kids: This episode of Survivor was brought to you by Nickelodeon.
In an episode that emphasized the age gap, it's only fitting that Gen Y gets a prize. The Fishy this week goes collectively to the younger tribe. When the tribes are switched, the old tribe turned on each other. But while mom and pop were imposing rules about where to put the machete, the young tribe was voting them out.
Anybody who has watched Survivor could have predicted the swap, but it took Marty completely by surprise.
"You can't get cocky in this game, but I'm in control," he said. "It would take something extraordinary, off the charts, completely whacked out to disturb my plans now."
Does anybody else wonder what questions the producers are peppering him with to get such solid gold confessionals? "Sooo . . . Marty. What would it take to disturb your plans? Something crazy? Something wild?"
You can bet the entire Young vs. Old twist was devised for this moment.
The tribes finally swapped, and the kids stared in slack-jawed horror as the old folks told them to do their chores. "We had protocol for who took care of fire and water," Marty lectured La Flor. "When you leave, just come back with a piece of wood," Tyrone instructed Espada. "It's very . . . older tribe," Alina said with a roll of her eyes.
Parents just don't understand.
While the elders were worried about who was cleaning up the outdoors, the Children of the Corn were circling. They quickly subverted outsider Jane and cool mom Holly, who couldn't be happier to hang with the young people.
"I feel like I relate to the kids well," she said. Just watch out when their eyes start to glow.
Young People UniteYou really have to give the young tribe credit for the way they came together. For the past four weeks, they've been tearing each other to pieces. NaOnka and Kelly B. have been wrestling in the dirt; Brenda's been leading Chase around by the nose while the rest of the tribe giggles; Sash is dating so many beautiful women; Kelly S. and Benry are slowly turning invisible; and Jud is fighting a rearguard action against the island's hermit crabs.
But when separated by a twist in the game, they earned their collective Fishy by voting as a bloc. Even archrivals NaOnka and Alina were able to put aside their differences for tribe unity.
"We have to make do with what we have," NaOnka said. (For her part, Alina wasn't too sorry to see NaOnka break down. She did, however, encourage her tribemate to stay in the game.)
The young tribe could give Exile Island's Casaya a run for its money as the most dysfunctional but loyal tribe in Survivor history. And really, who wants to hang out with old people? They smell funny.
So it was no surprise that patriarch-father figure Tyrone was the first voted off the new Espada.
"I embrace the position of leader," Tyrone said. That's Survivor code for, "I'm the next voted out."
"Somebody's quest to outlast all the rest is about to come to an end," Jeff said – WTF? – before snuffing his torch. If the rest of the older tribe doesn't do something fast, they'll be joining him soon at Loser Lodge. This is Nicaragua, and kids rule.
Tell us: What do you think about the tribe swap? What did you think of the incredible Immunity Challenge?

Ha nice but no, cold not my secret and wrong A
Let's see ...small & classification starts with an 'a' ....sir,you have made it too easy ,you are one of those puppets ventriloquists use in their shows....A Ventriloquist's Puppet
Lol I am not a puppet nor is my boss a ventriloquist, however, the height issue sounds right...keep going you and a few others are warm! Even guess the popular sitcom I walked across briefly (no dialogue given).
Oh no shoot, I meant to rate that comment, but nope never cut in half I still have all limbs, such as they are.
Tomorrow is day 25 and I better throw out another hint or at least remind people of the known few.
I wonder if Chess.comers will discriminate against me when this surfaces.
KCO warned me about personal matters.
Pee Wee Herman
Alright today's BIG clue:
What resembles me
lies in Mickey's friend Johnnie
on Seinfeld no less
u're a dwarf?
Yes, I have achondroplasia, but now guess the sitcom I walked a scene through.
Kramer has got a job as a stand-in actor, in the series All My Children, along with his friend Mickey Abbott (Danny Woodburn), a "little person" who is offended by the term "midget". Mickey, however, is worried to keep up his role as a rapidly-growing child. Kramer suggests Mickey use "lifts" to increase his height, to whom Mickey reluctantly agrees. Jerry later sets up a date for Elaine with his friend, Phil Totola.
Jerry visits Fulton in the hospital where he tells a story about a guy "Pachyderm" and the hot pizza slices he was juggling, but Fulton doesn't laugh. Phil arrives at the hospital to make Fulton laugh, but to no avail. Meanwhile, other "little" actors notice something different on Mickey as he plans to date Tammy, a little woman.
Johnny Bigiano,
another small actor who envies Mickey for being stand-ins for some famous child actors, sets to find out what is going on with him.
Jerry feels added pressure to be funny after his first visit to the hospital coincides with a deterioration in Fulton's condition. He offers to do his act with new material. Elaine had a good evening with Phil, including the Pachyderm story, until Phil suddenly takes "it out".
When Johnny discovers the lifts after breaking Mickey's locker open, Mickey is ostracized by the other dwarf actors, including Tammy; even though Mickey tries to defend himself and his career and even blaming everything on Kramer, no one believes him and as Tammy leaves with Johnny, Mickey angrily attacks Kramer. At the hospital, Jerry is being so funny that Fulton cannot stop laughing. Fulton then suddenly stops laughing, supposedly dying from it. Later at Monk's, George has said to Jerry that he would go as far as to marry Daphne just to prove he can commit. However, to George's relief, Daphne says that she met another person: Jerry Persach, who George reveals is "Pachyderm" who used the pizza trick from his earlier mentioned story to woo Daphne.
Whatever this was?
Until you cough up some more hints winekleinr, we're forced to go out on a limb here; so I'll say a midget?
I basically nailed it on page 4!
Good that is my clue reference, good job!
everybody likes raymond?
Nope man not the sitcom, good try!
OK, that is awesome dude!
Thanks man, I can't be the only one here on Chess.com. Maybe I should start my own tournie!
could you give more clues in relation to my generation, clues like,
1. Greys Anatomy or CSI
2. Rihanna or Lady GaGa
3. Nickelback or Coldplay
4. Matt Damon or Nicholas Cage
things like that, thank you
Yes but Joseph_S guess the clue already or at least he got the refenence to the names in my clue, the sitcom which I appeared in is the only part left...guess the sitcom if you can.
Stop the clocks!!! I got it!!!
Man with the Golden Gun
Hah! Well that was hardly a sitcom in my opinion.
Lol not the sitcom but it was an older show I was in and I was younger of course then, and I won the part because of my height.
Although looking at it now it was quite funny espesially the part where you end up in the cage tied to the mast of that ship.
So you are a dwarf ...I can see how you would think that classification starts with an 'a' ...a dwarf... but to be honest that was a bit misleading.
A figurehead on The Titanic are you talking about? If so funny but no, lol.
The a I am referring to is Achondroplasia (Dwarfism).
10 hours later....I just want to mention that you look way different without the beard ,almost oriental looking,I'm guessing German father ,Japanese mother?
Still have the beard and I had it in the sitcom as well, not sure what you are referring of.
Lol not the sitcom but it was an older show I was in ...
Red Dwarf?
Life's Too Short?
now the beard clue comes out ... arrgggh
Lol I wore the beard on the show!

The discovery of the antidepressive effects of light1 in seasonal affective disorder, winter type,2 has inspired explanations of pathogenesis of and therapy for this disorder in terms of circadian (dys)regulations. The original hypothesis of day length being the crucial variable was rapidly rejected.3 Subsequently, circadian phase4 and the daily total number of photons received by the patient3 were proposed as relevant factors. Unfortunately, neither of these proposals appeared to be compatible with all experimental data. In the present study, aspects of the previous hypotheses are put together into a new hypothesis, the outlines of which will be discussed.
The Circadian Pacemaker.—
Functions of the circadian pacemaker are twofold. Apart from regulating the timing of processes within the circadian range, the pacemaker controls the annual timing of certain behaviors. To survive, many species must migrate, molt, hoard food, hibernate, and reproduce at

Hey mate, thanks again for another great post I really enjoyed going through it. I take it that you know what you are doing in terms of web design and content creation because your website looks fabulous. I have been taking a brief look at your website in terms of SEO and you currently only have around 300 backlinks (quality backlinks) because of the nature of the niche you are in you should really be looking for some SEO services. I own my own seo company and we offer free competition analysis's and quotes so if your interested please feel free to submit your details to us and I will take a proper look for you. My website is cyberrankings(dot)com 🙂 which can also be found by clicking on my name above this post, I am sure you know what I mean..Oh and by the way your advertisement seems to appear at the top of the page covering some on your content (in firefox) and yet it seems to work fine in internet explorer as I have just checked for you. It may be worth putting the html coding in again as I have had the same problem with one of my websites before and for some reason re-installing the coding seemed to do the job! Just thought I should let you know

The owner won't stop spamming my email. It is a scam network that is why I never ran with them. He refuses to stop emailing me. After I repeatedly said to stop.

they now use 2ndaccount http://www.2ndaccount.com
be careful.

To be honest, i heard bad stuff about this site and I know someone who had bad experience with this company.
2012-01-30 at 15:15
Everyone is correct. I made money with them (about 500) i never could get in touch with anyone and never any reply to my emails. SCAM…BIG TIME

It can be frustrating and time-consuming to locate a short in an electrical system, especially in a school bus, which has seemingly miles of wiring. But David Ruth of Wolfington Body Co. in Exton, Pa., says there's no need to panic. With these tips, which he provided in the Pennsylvania School Bus Report (Nov. 2001), he says you will be able to locate the majority of electrical shorts with little headache. 1. Use a test light, a digital volt/ohm meter or a continuity tester. 2. When possible, have schematic diagrams on hand of the circuits you're dealing with. 3. Don't jump to conclusions and start replacing electrical components, such as circuit breakers, switches and relays, without investigating. 4. Locate the beginning and end of the circuit where the short is located. Check traditional problem areas, such as bus body intersections where wiring makes a 90-degree turn or is routed around a sharp edge. 5. When dealing with lighting systems, try removing a blown fuse and installing a circuit breaker of equal amperage in its place. Chances are the short is located where any lights are out or dim. 6. Try removing a dome light or speaker from the wiring trough above the passenger windows and cutting a wire halfway down the length of the bus to pinpoint the location of a short. 7. In most bus bodies, there are junction plugs that can be disconnected to isolate a short. 8. Remove a wire from a component, such as a switch or relay, and momentarily apply 12 volts to that wire. If you get a heavy blue arc, you most likely have a short to ground.

Now that the Nokia Lumia 928 is being launched via Verizon on May 16th with a PureView camera sensor that takes great pictures in low-light conditions, what other features are on the phone? Nokia has already launched its first promo video for the device and let's get the the camera out of the way first. We've already shown you the amazing stability of the OIS on the phone...

Remember that it should be not only about decibels, it also should be about quality of sound. Who cares if device can spread sound at 140 dB if sound quality is low, 140 dB with low sound quality is just a high noise.

nokia awesome, wp just kinda sucks

Manufacturers like Nokia need to stop exclusivity if they want their sales and the Windows OS they've hitched their wagon to, to really get going. Nice phone. Unfortunately, sales will still be marginal because it's only available from one carrier.
59. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
I hate to be a hater but this phone will fizzle out in about 2 weeks to a month. It's a forgettable phone with a forgettable OS on one carrier. Even the vulnerable iPhone 5s will make this a distant memory. There are too many Android powerhouses coming out this fall and isn't Nokia releasing a updated flagship? This phone is 6 months too late!

Ummm theres no new features in this ad, but since its not samsung every nokia fanboy will praise the technology.

For 25 years I have fought to bring excellent cancer care and top quality cancer doctors to the Santa Clarita Valley. As an oncologist, I have dealt most of my professional life with trying to help my patients distinguish pseudo-science and quackery from real science.
Dealing with the master plan process has been surprisingly similar.
We have spent three years presenting clear and logical proposals in a professional manner.
It is certainly appropriate that the community weigh in on this and require changes, possibly even dramatic ones, as in this case.
It is also expected that looking that far into the future may frighten immediate neighbors, and that there would be the scattered eccentric folks sensing an opportunity for power and the limelight.
But it does not speak well of the process that it has included so much viciousness and disinformation. It is about as honorable as profiting by treating cancer with phony medicines from your spice rack.
A lay person does not, in fact, have a contribution equal to a cancer specialist's in deciding how to save someone's life.
Community activists do not, in fact, have as much expertise as health care professionals and city planners.
Thus the whole debate has been hijacked to things like G&L conspiracy theories.
Especially galling are the personal attacks on our CEO, Roger Seaver. I was a member of the board of directors and participated in the selection process for his position.
He was recommended by our briefly-tenured but excellent president at the time, Jim Yoshiioka, who longed to return to Orange County.
Roger was and is extremely smart, honest, personable and visionary. His background is strong in finance and strategic planning.
He is respected throughout California as one of the best. He has taken the hospital from bankruptcy to a positive net of $6 million to $9 million a year, all of that income used for catching up after years of inadequate funding.
When his team presented the concept of a master plan to the board and the medical staff, it fit with his expertise and made great sense to those of us who experienced the problems (which still exist) from previous haphazard building. It was well received by almost all of those of who use the hospital, and it had been requested by the city.
It has been a shock, then, that a prolonged, tortured and expensive process of getting approval of the master plan has taken place, diverting the energy of the hospital administration and those of us who require their intensive collaboration for our programs on campus.
During this process we all, but especially Mr. Seaver, have only politely been able to catch spears but not throw them back. I personally am fed up with being nice about this and want the community to understand who the quacks are. I sense that our City Council members know the real story, too, and are about to do the right thing.
They will have a legacy of making Santa Clarita healthier and more respected for the decades to come.

The drum-banging has begun on the Syracuse University football front, and I've done a little bit of it, myself. And why not? An outfit that went 1-10 on merit a year ago is now 3-2 and is, perhaps, one game away from scoring as many points in six starts this time around as it did all last season in 11.
Sure, sure, sure. The Orange has beaten a ragtag trio in Illinois, Miami (Ohio) and Wyoming that have combined to go 3-12. And it had to venture into overtime to knock off the last of those, the Cowboys, who've now lost 10 of their last 11 contests.
But if we properly mourned our way through (and was embarrassed by) the 2005 campaign, why can't we enjoy this 2006 effort that so far has been at least as much fun as watching the president of Pakistan being offered Twinkies on TV?
I mean, really. Down the stretch with Paul Pasqualoni, the Syracuse football product generated more victories than defeats, but was so very boring in the process. In Year No. 1 of the Greg Robinson Era, the Orange did nothing but lose (well, except for that Buffalo game, which doesn't really count). And it was a snoozer, as well. (Bad combo there: A loser and a snoozer.)
But now? Now, SU is winning and it's entertaining . . . and what's wrong with that?
No, we won't settle for long defeating only poor souls like the Illini, the RedHawks and the Cowboys. And we won't tolerate for long the kind of silly play-calling demonstrated at the end of the Iowa affair. And we won't suffer happily for long losing to unremarkable squads such as Wake Forest.
But right now, today, this very minute . . . what's wrong with 3-2? And what's wrong with dreaming (and that's just what we all might be doing) that the Orange will beat Pittsburgh on Saturday in the Carrier Dome and make the turn at the season's halfway mark at 4-2?
I'll admit, certainly, that it might be a tad early to suggest that Delone Carter is Dee Brown, never mind Jim Brown. And you'd have to be Mr. Magoo to not see how flawed this Syracuse defense is here and there. And if anybody can imagine this SU product upsetting either West Virginia or Louisville, the Disney folks have a job waiting for you down there in Fantasyland.
But 3-2 is 3-2 is 3-2. And while the Orange could have been dragged down by Wyoming and be 2-3, it would not be merely the wild-eyed zealot who might argue the case that Syracuse could -- COULD -- actually be 5-0 right now.
So? So, enjoy yourselves, people. Accept 3-2. Appreciate the undeniable improvement that has been exhibited from one season to the next. Bask in the moment that requires the wearing of paper bags over your heads no more.
But then, with the Panthers, the Mountaineers and the Cardinals due up next -- bing, bang, bong -- you might want to keep those paper bags in nearby drawers. You know, just in case.

Toward a Theory of Charitable Fund-Raising
James Andreoni
University of California, San Diego (UCSD)
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 106, No. 6, December 1998
Private providers of public goods, such as charities, invariably enlist fund-raisers to organize and collect contributions. Common in charitable fund-raising is seed money, either from a government grant or from a group of "leadership givers," that launches the fund drive and generates additional gifts. This paper provides a theoretical basis for fund-raisers and seeds to charity. The primary assumption is that there is a range of increasing returns at low levels of provision of the public good. It is shown that fund-raisers have a natural and important role, and that sometimes only a small amount of seed money can grow into a substantial charity.

Updates stories posted at 10:35 a.m. and 2:53 a.m. Thursday.
WHATELY -- A faulty fireplace caused a blaze that took the lives of Sonia and Mary Golonka Wednesday night, investigators have determined.
The fire started underneath the floor of an old prefabricated fireplace, according to a release issued by state Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and Whately Fire Chief John S. Hannum.
"Over time, the fireproof brick had cracked and the metal fireplace rusted and decayed. This allowed heat and possibly sparks from the wood stove and fireplace to come in contact with structural members," the release stated.
Hannum said the tight-knit community mourns the loss of 64-year-old Sonia Golonka and her 94-year-old mother.
"A tragedy like this touches us all," Hannum said. "Today I have not only lost two members of my community, but two friends as well."
The property, 6 State Road, known as Golonka Farm, is a Whately landmark that has been in operation since 1956.
Fire officials said the blaze was reported by either neighbors or passersby shortly after 11:30 p.m. By the time the first fire units arrived on scene, a rear attached shed and the kitchen on the back of the house were fully involved in flames.
Both women were pulled unconscious from the burning home and taken to Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton. They were later pronounced dead.
Staff writer Dave Canton contributed to this report.

EJ Manuel Will Miss Rest of Preseason
(NEW YORK) -- Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel will miss the remainder of the preseaon with a left knee injury.
"EJ Manuel had some swelling in his left knee this morning and was examined by our medical staff," Bills head coach Doug Marrone said in a statement. "An MRI revealed that he will need to have a minor knee procedure and that has been scheduled. He will miss the remainder of the preseason and then be re-evaluated at that time. Kevin Kolb will be our starting quarterback for this weekend's game at Washington."
Manuel, the first quarterback taken in this year's NFL Draft, has had a good preseason completing 26-of-33 passes for 199 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Kevin Kolb replaces Manuel as the team's starter. Kolb completed 13-of-21 passes with an interception in the Bills' victory over the Minnesota Vikings Friday.

By Kyrsten Skulborstad– Let's play a game. In the next five seconds, think of a person who selflessly pours out his or her life on behalf of others.
Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Stop.
Was Mother Theresa one of the first people who came to mind? Or, perhaps you thought of other famed historic figures like William Wilberforce, Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, or a few token others. While these individuals are the obvious choices — and for good reason — there are thousands of people across the world who, every day, sacrifice their own comfort and convenience to love others.
One of these people is 30-year-old Rocky Braat.
Braat is a graphic designer from the United States who, after graduating from art school, did the natural thing: got a job, made some money and lived an independent life. But he wasn't content. Despite having a promising career and the benefits that resulted from it, Braat decided to travel to India where, unbeknownst to him, the trajectory of his life would be altered. After visiting a hostel for AIDS orphans in Chennai, Braat decided to uproot his life in the U.S. to live amongst and love these kids.
"People in their lives were always in and out," says Braat in his documentary. "I can't take anyone out of that situation, but I can put myself in it."
His best friend, Steve Hoover, didn't get it. So, he flew out to visit Braat and meet the children who changed his life. Turns out, he was inspired, too. The video above is the trailer for Blood Brother, a film produced by Hoover and friends that documents the pain, beauty, sorrow, joy, despair and hope that intermingle in the dynamic relationships among Braat and the orphans he serves.
"I believe the hopeful will outweigh the heartbreaking," Hoover tells The Times of India. "My ultimate goal is to inspire people, I don't want to depress or discourage people. I want to show them how an ordinary, unlikely person can make an incredible difference…practically, without having people notice or care."
To learn three simple steps you can take — right from your computer — to support Braat's work in India and to share Blood Brother with your friends, visit Hope Mob.

Fantasy sports fills winter gap
I call myself a sports nut, but late at night when I'm home alone with my remote control, I gravitate toward just two sports: baseball and football.
Sure, I'll watch a little golf, especially when it's the Masters, U.S. Open or British Open. And the Olympics are a fun diversion every couple of years, though I will never understand how curling or the two-man luge became Winter Olympic sports.
I imagine your teammate on a two-man luge becomes a really close friend by the second day of practice.
But I am a two-sport fan, and once the Super Bowl is over -- and this year's Super Bowl was over by the end of the first quarter -- I count the days until baseball season begins.
It's 45 days, by the way, until Arizona and Los Angeles kick off the 2014 baseball season with two games in Sydney, Australia. That is a long month and a half, filled with countless college basketball games, and reruns of "Modern Family" and "The Big Bang Theory," on my television.
What is a baseball/football fan to do? This is where the much-mocked world of fantasy sports fills a necessary gap.
I currently participate in one fantasy baseball league, two football leagues and -- because those three leagues aren't enough -- one playoff football league where we only draft players who make the NFL playoffs.
Four leagues over the course of a year is nothing to a serious fantasy sports fan. One of the guys in my baseball league told me a couple of years ago that he was in seven other baseball leagues.
Seven. And, yes ladies, he is married.
Other guys I know are in fantasy golf, basketball, even NASCAR leagues. I imagine there even is a fantasy two-man luge league.
Fantasy baseball helps me survive the sports entertainment desert that is February and early March, when football is finished and baseball hasn't yet begun.
Sure, I could spend that time exercising or taking my wife and daughter to the movies, but those things can't compare to poring over the 2014 edition of the Sporting News Fantasy Baseball Guide with its salary lists and individual player comparisons.
I think I just drooled a little.
Only six weeks until 14 middle-aged guys sit around two converted pool tables at a local tavern and spend four hours drafting baseball players for a pretend league.
I can't wait.

text: Back on June 20th I decided to go primal again. No fanfare, no new proclamations, no claims of having to be responsible for my actions. I just did it. I consulted a friend who is a former triathlete that has gone in to crossfit type training for school age athletes. He designed a starting high intensity workout for me to keep the fat burner going. I've stuck to the primal eating fairly well staying well with in the 80/20 parameters. Have I been perfect? No. I did miss 3 workouts over the 30 days. But its not about perfection. It's about change. I've dropped 5lbs. Put on some muscle. All in all I'm pretty happy with the first month. Will try to post often, but again no promises. Thanks for reading. Anthony

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Local crafters and artisans displayed their work for sale Saturday at the War Memorial Building as the Shepherdstown Community Club kicked off the first weekend of this year's Shepherdstown Handmade Market.
The Market will be held on the first weekend of each month from April through November, and benefits the Shepherdstown Community Club and Morgan's Grove Park. The Market will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
"All of the booth fees from the sellers go straight to the Community Club, and that supports the War Memorial Building and Morgan's Grove Park," said Kristian McIntyre, one of the Market's coordinators. "Last year, we raised more than $10,000 for the Community Club through the Handmade Market. Not only is it really helping the community as far as keeping this building and the park going, but it's keeping the local economy flowing and it's getting people really excited, and we're happy to do it again this year."

Vendors at the Shepherdstown Handmade Market sell their unique wares. The Handmade Market benefits the Shepherdstown Community Club.
McIntyre said 2014 is the second year the Market has been open. She said customer turnout is generally high, especially on days when the Farmer's Market is in operation just behind the War Memorial Building.
One of McIntyre's favorite things about coordinating the Handmade Market is discovering new artists in the area.
"We're so excited because we keep discovering new artists in these nooks and crannies of Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Berkeley County, Morgan County and the whole Eastern Panhandle and parts of Maryland that we've never seen before. We've all been here for years, but we just keep finding these new artists emerging. It's so exciting to see this kind of a handmade explosion," she said.
Amy Dan, the proprietor of Elements of Nature handcrafted chocolates, was setting up her booth with spring floral arrangements and plenty of chocolate rabbits and eggs for Easter. She uses Belgian white chocolate and Swiss milk chocolate in her creations.
"I've been making chocolates for over 10 years, but this is the first time that I've set out to try to make a business out of it or go to craft shows," said Dan, whose participation in the Handmade Market marked her first craft show.
Dan said one of the things she likes best about making chocolates is the enjoyment on customers' faces when they take a bite.
"Chocolates is a medium, like paint, paper, glue or fabric. I like to use chocolate to bring different colors and flavors together. It catches the (customer's) eyes and then mouth, and I like to see big, happy smiles. Seeing the end product and seeing people happy with it gives me satisfaction," she said.

Fog-catching materials
Surface structure harvests water vapor from fog
Oxford biologist Dr. Andrew Parker and Dr. Chris Lawrence of QinetiQ were studying tenebrionid (Stenocara) beetles in the barren Namibian Desert when they discovered the shell of these insects has a bumpy surface texture. Further research showed how these hydrophilic bumps surrounded by hydrophobic troughs allowed the beetles to collect water from fog in order to survive in such an arid environment. On a foggy morning, a beetle will face the wind and adopt a unique posture with its back in the air. Water carried in on the fog sticks to the bumps, eventually forming droplets. When the droplets are large enough, they roll into the troughs and down to the beetle's mouth. Researchers have designed a material surface that mimics this fog-catching strategy. The materials inspired by these beetles have many potential uses, including tent coverings and roof tiles for collecting water from fog in regions lacking access to fresh water.
According to the World Water Management Institute, over 1/3 of the human population is affected by water scarcity. Projections show that, without improvements, by 2025 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity. Additionally, 2/3 of the world population could be under stress conditions. Several prototypes of these beetle-inspired materials have been created thus far, and have shown to be more effective than "net harvesting" and other traditional methods for collecting water from fog.

The Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority dedicated its new administration building on Sunday afternoon to the memory of former board member James Reeder.
Reeder was a member of the Water and Sewer Authority board from Oct. 1994 through Feb. 2005.
The $4 million facility, 380 Old Cement Road, Montoursville, opened in March.
Daughter Pat Reeder shared a letter with the gathering that her father wrote to a friend in 1980, while he was living in Chicago, that captured his feeling for the watersheds of his homeland.
"Whenever I plan a trip home, I tell my Chicago friends I'm 'going back to Paradise Valley' and they know what I mean," Reeder wrote. "In the Loyalsock Valley I found beauty, art, poetry, peace and ultimately God."
Reeder told the gathering her father "was always very serious about his religion, but he always believed if you're going to understand someone else you need to understand the other man's beliefs. All of you who knew him were like his teachers."
Reeder was an avid wildlife photographer, and five of his pictures are displayed in the building's lobby.
"He captured life with his eye, his mind and his lens, but mostly with his heart. Today we welcome you back to Paradise Valley," Christine Weigle, LCWSA executive director, said. "May we all learn to seek our world and experience meaning in the world around us."
"I went through a lot when I was here," former LCWSA executive director Chip Amer said. "I got married, had twins, caught myself on fire through all of which Jim was great and supported me."
LCWSA board member Charley Hall read Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" that begins "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" to thank Reeder "for choosing to take the road less traveled by."
John Bickhart, engineering services manager, spoke about the authority's hopes for its new facility.
"We identified a need for an administration building, to provide an appropriate and safe working environment," he said. "This building will enable the building of an exceptional team of employees, and as technology evolves be a premier source of technological leadership. We want to be the best, the most sought-after water and sanitary service provider in Pennsylvania."
"One of our goals with this building is to change the stigma about the water and wastewater industry," Weigle said. "These are people who might serve you in a sewer ditch or manhole, but they are proud professionals."

BARRE The Cabot teenager accused of repeatedly raping a young boy and a dog has been released from jail so he can live with his father in Hardwick.
Jay D. Deasy, 17, was in Washington County family court Thursday for a bail review hearing. He was being held on $80,000 bail, but Judge Thomas Devine decided Deasy could be released into the custody of his parents as long as he stays away from the boy and is under constant supervision of his parents, who were in the courtroom.
Deasy is accused of raping a 9-year-old boy 10 to 15 times over the past two years. The Vermont State Police affidavit also said Deasy admitted to repeatedly raping a female dog.
At the hearing, Deasys public defender, Maggie Vincent, said he has been diagnosed with an emotional delay where he functions more like a 12- or 13-year-old.
Because of Deasys age, he is applying for youthful offender status, which would spare him from the potential life sentence he currently faces.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

Carl Thompson was robbed of his title
If you watch the video below, you'll see that the stoppage was indeed premature and completely bs, but it seems thats common in UK. Just as Nelson started landing hard punches, the ref stopped it. Carl was obviously still ducking away and still in the fight when it got stopped and he got robbed of his WBO title. Nice move dullard ref! Tho I don't doubt Johnny would/could have won without this, it really wasn't fair. Carl was robbed of a chance to come back, like he did in some of the previous rounds. I know its old stuff now, but just wanted to share it with ya, many of you havent seen the fight even I bet. So enjoy:

Thompson will never go down as one of the greats. But he will always be respected as a fighter who gave everything in the ring and put on some heroic displays.
I liked him because he was an excellent technician with good head movement (how many so-called "great" fighters today have little to no head movement?) and a fortress-like defence. He knew when to fight and when to stay out of trouble and he specialised in allowing opponents to punch themselves out (Haye took the bait hook, line and sinker).

Carl Thompson was one of the most exciting fighters of all time.
I agree it is a bull**** stoppage because the man has a reputation for playing possum and making dramatic comebacks.
Nelson also was beaten by Guillermo Jones but it was a robbery draw.........

|Here are some details about my project:
|Eco-Friendly, Retro / Vintage, Casual, Hipster, Funky, Cute
What are you most proud of? I love that they are re-purposing favourite shirts that maybe no longer fit or that you just want to keep but not wear. They are cozy and functional.... and hey, if you spill on them, you take 'em off and throw them in the wash like you probably did 100 times before it became a pillow!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If you have printing on the back of the t-shirt that you want to show on the outside, make sure that when you pin the right sides together that the back 1/2 that you want showing is pinned closest to the right side of the front.... otherwise when you turn it right side out, the envelope won't work out with what you want showing. I am discovering that you can do with with any shaped pillow... just make sure to add 1 inch all the way around, and then add at least 4 inches to the back for the envelope overlap.
