The Terrible Unspoken Implications Of Star Wars' Slave Leia
This week Disney announced they currently have no plans for Princess Leia products in their Disney Stores as they roll out the new Star Wars toy line. You know, except for the Slave Leia currently on shelves, as documented by Brett White. Because when you think 'family friendly' role model for kids, you think ambiguous sex slave stripped of all autonomy.
It's okay everyone, there IS a Leia in the Disney Store. Perfect for all your male gaze needs! #WeWantLeia pic.twitter.com/bFy3aYevj3
— Brett White (@brettwhite) June 3, 2014
From the beginning, Slave Leia has always been a steaming pile of Bantha fodder. Whatever Hollywood executive pulled the blaster trigger on taking a feminist icon and stripping her to her skivvies for the titillation of dudes should be thrown into a Sarlaac Pit.
It's time to pull the curtain back on this crime against Star Wars leading lady.
Movies do not exist in a vacuum. Especially something as transcendent to cultural identity as Star Wars. Taking the non-sexualized take-no-shit-from-no-man princess and shoving her into a metal bikini is a powerful message to boys and girls the world over. Spoiler: Not a good one. Putting the only female of agency in the known universe — minus a smattering of side characters — on a leash tied to a mafia slug who is so rich and powerful everyone has to pretend he isn't a vile piece of actual shit and acquiesce to his every demand? The accidental symbolism on gender politics is practically Force punching you in the face.

Over the years Fisher has voiced her hatred of everything about the Slave Leia persona, from the bikini that didn't fit right to being forced to lose weight for the scene to having her character literally voiceless from the moment the metal monstrosity goes on her body until the moment she kills her captor in a glorious display hate-fueled rage. And with good reason.
The implications of Leia's predicament are glossed over but wait a damn minute. Jabba slobbers and gropes and treats Leia and the Twi'lek dancer Oola with all the hallmarks of a sexual predator. There's a lot of subtext going on here and all of it horrifying. Exactly what kind of trauma would cow Princess Leia into perpetual silence in the face of humiliating degradation? This is a woman who was able to withstand to the torture droids of the Imperials AND Darth Vader without flinching.
So how did Jabba break her spirit off-camera between her capture and Luke Skywalker's arrival? Yeah, let that sink in for a minute. And to top it off, Leia never mentions it again. There's no lingering trauma, no night terrors, not even a snide remark to Han Solo about how she's never rescuing him again because the risk/reward ratio is stacked against her. No one even asks her if she's okay.
Of course, this is the same universe that forced Leia to comfort a grieving Luke Skywalker over the death of an old man he'd known for two days while her entire planet and everyone she'd ever loved was vaporized. So really Slave Leia is just par for the course for writers trying to wrestle a princess who refuses to be put in the damsel in distress box.
Let's hope between Fisher's willingness to return to Episode VII and the casting of Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie it is at least a sign Abrams has no intention of repeating history.

Hawke (guest)I was always under the impression that Carrie Fisher pushed for that outfit since she'd had a lack of interesting costumes up to that point.
Also Jabba has a whole trope of dancing girls of all species, he's a fat disgusting slug.

Ferg (guest)I always thought she basically knew she would be captured when she went to Jabba's palace. I never her saw as weak, because it was part of the plan to get everyone close to Jabba to free Han. They even let Jabba take Chewbacca prisoner.

BobbyLaw (guest)Young men are interested in women in pop culture as proxy objects of sexual desire. Short of mass castration, this is unlikely to change. Given that the entire cast was captive to Jabba, the only exceptional thing about Leia's situation was the outfit, which was done in service to my first statement. Not understanding any of this suggests immaturity on the part of the article's author. The complaint about the internet search results is jut silly. Men are looking for images of attractive women. The top pictures reflect that. If women were actually interested in Leia as a strong, feminist hero, the seven women who enjoy Star Wars could click on pictures of Leia firing a blaster and start to unskew the results.June 4, 2014 at 11:05AM ESTReply to CommentLike (30)Latest Likes:Dave I29 Anonymous

Dave II can understand the point that Slave Leia is the most enduring vision of Leia. However...
She was ultimately the hero to a large degree. She was quiet because she was smart enough to not worsen her situation. With Vader, she was already going to be tortured and likely killed. In this case, she seemed to be biding her time. And, oh yeah, she KILLED him! So she ultimately did a lot to save herself given the first possible opportunity. By killing the pig that put her into a sexy bikini-slave outfit. There may be a feminist metaphor there as well.
As for why she was not more overtly traumatized? She was not prisoner for very long before Luke & the droids came and busted her out (over Jaba's very dead body). Would it have been better to make her seem weaker? You're already crucifying the franchise for letting her get captured and wear a bikini. Imagine if she had broken down and been traumatized. I am not sure that is the message we want to be showing girls either. She is a very strong character who is written as pretty resilient.
As for Disney not having any plans for non-bikini Princess Leia? You may have a point. They should have new Leia toys, and probably will if she's in the movie, which she is. They do not have to tell us that. Being this is Star Wars, if they follow previous protocol they will probably keep a ton close-to-the-vest. They may also have different and new characters they are worried about. So maybe other female characters are closer to the central plotlines of the new movies and THEY will get toys.
Second, maybe that says more about us as a society than Disney or Star Wars. The Leia bikini scene was a small part of the movie, much less Star Wars as a whole. You can even argue it was fairly empowering given Leia's end result. However, Disney and Mattel are businesses. They only put out what they think WE will purchase. That might be an opportunity to look at ourselves (collectively speaking) into the mirror. I also think maybe the focus should be on how strong she is as a character throughout the series, and not just reminding us how hot Carrie Fisher was dressed in a slave and collar. Or, instead of focusing on ~30-year-old movies, why not look at more recent female characters like Ahsoka Tano, or Asajj Ventress, even Padme, or the sixty-plus other women-of-Star-Wars listed here?
You could even give Disney a chance and see what they actually do with female characters from the upcoming film.
In short, give us something else positive to focus on to make your point. Show us how Leia and other women are more than just pretty sex objects.

dallasdirk12210Trying to hold media over 30 years old to the cultural standards of today is a lost cause.
Disney's stance on products featuring Leia is quite off, but it's part of a larger issue at the toy isle. Companies are relying on outdated research that implies only boys want action figures of male characters and that there needs to be separate gender specific isles to designate that. This oversight is costing them money as plastic prices continue to rise and movie related merchandise continues to sit on shelves:
Although it may not happen as soon as you'd like, a revolution is coming to the toy isles.June 5, 2014 at 5:34PM ESTReply to Comment
YEAH ME (guest)The Disney Slave Leia action figure stuff is disgusting, and all the baggage that's come with it since. I'm in no way condoning that.
But in the context of the movie... it's a STORY. A story about a sleazy, monstrous gangster alien capturing an attractive badass princess.
The writers did what they thought a sleazy monstrous alien asshole with lots of power would do. And you know what? If this sleazy monstrous alien asshole DIDN'T act sleazy and gross and corrupt with power... then it would ring pretty false. These are bad guys, we know that by their actions.
If you take out the slave Leia stuff, then you kind of have to change Jabba the Hut's character and make him less sleazy and monstrous and then it's not really that awesome of a moment when she kills him the way she does and then WHY EVEN BOTHER TELLING STORIES IN THE FIRST PLACE!?
This wasn't a Disney movie when it was released.
Leia kept quiet because Lando was there undercover and she knew stuff was going to go down. Everyone was in a good position to do what needed to be done - defeat the bad guys and rescue Han.

Eric (guest)I always figured Jabba was more of a dragon character in the European mythology sense. A creature that hoards gold and women though can't make use of either. That aside, if the rest of the movie was about princess Leia slowly coming to terms with her sexual abuse from the tentacle-like hands of a slug monster, it would have made for one the worst sequels in movie history. This article might be looking a little too deeply into what was ultimately an adolescent sci-fantasy story that clumsily worked in a way to show it's leading actress in a bikini. As for the new movies, we can only hope they will reflect the changing social sentiments of our time just as the previous movies did.June 6, 2014 at 4:59PM ESTReply to Comment

Eric (guest)Jabba never "broke her spirit." Lia was playing her part as slave until Luke came to the palace. All the characters were in place for a rescue. Leia was stronger for doing it. Jabba was a deviant and the audience saw him as a villain. He was not a character to look up to.
People that do not see that are not only shallow and judgmental, but are the real disrespecting pigs, male or female.
Woman all over the world dress in the slave Leia outfit, for beauty and strength. Do these woman not have the rights do so? I am 100% a believer that woman are equal to men and often stronger in many areas. My wife can vouch for that. Still, we celebrate the beauty and attractiveness of the female body. Men may lust or even show disrespect at times. Uncool people will always exist, but why should she feel bad about enjoying who and what she is on this planet, ever?

Ryan (guest)Here's the thing, first you have to judge Leia by the standards of the time. I'd argue that Leia was a quantum leap forward in terms of women portrayed on screen. Second your analysis in terms of Leia being cowed is wrong. For instance let's consider James Bond the man's man the alpha male among alpha males and his captive moment in Skyfall.
Here James Bond is subject to a homosexual advance by a loathsome individual, and what does this epic bad ass do? He plays along, willing to do something extremely distasteful with this horrible human being if it allows him to claim some sort of advantage.
Likewise with Leia, she initially tries to use her gravitas and personality to protect herself and this fails. She tries to resist and that fails too. So Leia bides her time and patiently waits for an opportunity. She even managed to lull Jabba into a false sense of security. When the opportunity presented itself, in the form of Luke's attack, Leia acted decisively, violently, and killed Jabba the Hut.
One more aside, Leia is in my eyes the strongest character in the series. Think on Alderaan, when it was in the gun sights of the Death Star Leia still refused to surrender the location of the Rebel Base at Yavin, she actually sacrificed her family, home and actual homeworld because she knew that the Rebellion had to survive. In contrast look at Luke Skywalker, in episode 5 the minute his buddies are in trouble he rushes right into a trap. Thus we have it, in terms of mettle and resolve Leia > Luke.July 19, 2014 at 12:16PM ESTReply to Comment

Simon (guest)I always understood Leia to be the strongest one in the room pretty much always. She went to Jabba's palace KNOWING that she'd be caught, KNOWING that he'd try to humiliate her, KNOWING that by pretending to be his victim that she would then be able to rescue Han and kill Jabba in the same mission. It reminded me of Rikki Tikki Tavi going into the serpent hole.

Jason G in SD (guest)Donna, your entire article is undermined by your lack of research.

SHE is the person who 'pulled the blaster trigger on taking a feminist icon and stripping her to her skivvies for the titillation of dudes'.

icruise (guest)I have to say, I really think the author is misinterpreting the whole character of Slave Leia. I can understand not liking the way popular culture has latched onto it, but I've always thought of Slave Leia in the exact opposite way.
First of all, the idea that Jabba somehow broke her spirit and literally made her his slave overnight makes no sense. She went into Jabba's palace to try and save Han, but they had a Plan B to use if that didn't work out. She knew Luke was on the way and she just had to wait. She had no need to struggle, since that would've been counterproductive. And of course there was no "lingering trauma" -- it was all part of the plan.
I also think it's odd how the author basically ignores Leia's revenge against Jabba -- literally choking him with the chain that had imprisoned her. That doesn't make her a strong female figure?November 19, 2014 at 3:27PM ESTReply to CommentLike (3)Latest Likes:3 Anonymous
zoingNot to mention it is highly illogical that she could've only been enslaved for one night; the very fact that she's wearing a costume that fits her so perfectly shows she had to have been measured and fitted first. If her capture took place as late in the night as was implied by the dark, empty corridors, and for Luke to show up early in the morning, there's no way she could've been groomed and readied as we see her. So, she was clearly there for two or more nights.
Furthermore, the fact that her attitude and demeanor around Jabba - from her silence to the fact that she runs to him on the Sail Barge, rather than struggling the whole way to his throne - implies that she had had time to learn his ways, in order to further trick him into thinking he'd claimed victory over her.October 24, 2015 at 3:44PM EST
Jason DaleI agree with this article 100%. Many people assume that I am a Star Wars fan simply because of the JEDI screensaver on my computer. The truth is, I am a fan of the JEDI but not a fan of Star Wars by any measure. Personally, I don't think Star Wars will EVER be able to hold a candle to Star Trek in ANY galaxy. Every Star Wars movie I ever watched would disgust me to tears with it's lame and hackneyed stereotypes and appalling acting. But when the JEDI came into the scene, I was mesmerized by their way of life, their wisdom, their selfless service to the mystical FORCE which binds all things, and of course - to their ultra-cool light sabers. (Personally, as a quintessential 'nice guy', I wouldn't mind having my own light saber for the office...perhaps then I would be less of an office door mat...No wait! I might end up going into a slavery induced rage fest of my own!).
I remember the story line revolving around Princess Leia and Jabba the Hutt, and I must say - I always did find it the most repulsive and revolting part of Star Wars that I have ever seen. I HATED the way that Princess Leia was reduced down to the level of one of Hefner's playmates, and when I witnessed the savage end of Jaba the Hutt, I shouted out with Sith-like glee "TAKE THAT...Pizza Hutt!!" while at the same time feeling horror and disgust at my own reactions as well as the cruelty and savagery that pervades movies with such glibness and indifference.
NO...NOT ALL MALES ARE THE SAME. We are human, just like you, and that means that we have the capacity for both good and evil - just like you. Not all men will sit drooling mindlessly over pictures of Princess Leia while completely missing all of the toxic stereotypes that insist on portraying all women as sexual slaves and all men as sexual predators.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH, and it is really sad that the small number of deviants amongst us (of BOTH genders) can create the impression that they speak for their genders (and indeed - the human race) simply because they have the biggest loudhailers.
The media and entertainment industry objectifies women as sex objects on basis of their looks, and objectifies men on basis of their wallets, utility value and job performance. Women remain human beings (so long as they look the part) and men remain human doings (so long as they keep bringing in the money and are willing to die for their governments in war).
When the woman no longer looks good - her value is reduced, and when the man no longer has money or is no longer fit for battle or manual labour - he is discarded entirely. That is why the vast majority of suicides and homeless people are men.
Yes, I DO know what it is like to be objectified. I was invisible to the opposite gender until I was able to buy my little Corsa OPC hot hatch. But now that I am broke after 2 retrenchments, I have gone back to being invisible.
Are all women obsessed with only a man's wallet, social status and job performance? No, of course not. Are all men obsessed with only a women's looks, body parts and subservience? No, of course not. It's just that the vast majority of people out there don't think for themselves and are therefore very easy to brain wash into believing stereotypes and social paradigms - even though they should know better. The Kingpins and Queenpins of Big Business know this - and they can easily leverage this facet of human nature to feed their narcissistic interests in money and power.

geek (guest)This was not something that Jabba did. It's something that Lucas did, because he obviously doesn't understand or respect women. Look at what he did to the character Padme. Only a man could envision a women giving up the will to live due to losing a man, while underestimating the maternal instinct to live for her children.January 28, 2015 at 5:03AM ESTReply to Comment
Amy (guest)The entire point seemed to be humiliating Leia, who had the proverbial balls to try to steal Jabba's prized possession. It's rather standard for Cartels and gangs to make examples. Take Mexico for instance. It's not as much these days, but a few years ago finding the mutilated corpse of men and sexually abused women who 'wronged' someone was quite common. Even the term 'gang bang' comes from this sort of punishment.
Leia herself knew this would happen and feigned a submissive attitude toward the whole thing to lure Jabba into a sense of security. She was part of a multi-staged set-up to free Han and topple the cartel. If you don't believe this then look at the situation. R2-D2 was sent to the palace with Luke's light-saber hidden inside. Lando took a position as a ship guard, and Chewbacca submitted to torture and capture. Why set these pieces up if Leia was supposed to actually free Han? Han needed to be awoken weeks before he tried to move anyplace otherwise carbonation sickness would greatly impact the chances of escape.
Some people trying to twist this into sexism and feminism just undermines what Leia was doing.July 3, 2015 at 9:05PM ESTReply to Comment

Mark your calendars for the weekend of February 27 & 28 and Artful Healing! The fine art show benefitting the Richmond-based World Pediatric Project is presented by the Bon Air Artists Association (BAAA) and features Richmond-area premier and emerging artists. Artful Healing is held at the University of Richmonds Jepson Alumni Center for one weekend a year. The non-profit World Pediatric Project links pediatric surgical, diagnostic and preventative resources to heal critically-ill children in developing countries in the Caribbean and Central America and is well-known for arranging the 2011 surgical separation of the conjoined twins from the Dominican Republic here at MCV.
On February 27th & 28th, Richmonders will be able to purchase fine original art from 78 reginal artists. Thirty-five per cent of the proceeds from art sold during these two days will be donated to the WPP. In addition, the proceeds from a raffle of several donated artworks will go to the World Pediatric Project and a portion of the funds raised to produce the exhibit will be donated to the WPP as well. The goal of the BAAA is to raise more than $18,000 this year. A total of more than $66,000 of art was sold during our first two years with a total of over $36,000.00 donated to benefit World Pediatric Projects mission.
On Saturday, February 27, Artful Healing begins with an exclusive invitation-only Preview Party from 6 to 9 PM. Co-hosts of the event, supporters and guests of the World Pediatric Project, along with participating artists, attend this catered event. Preview Party tickets are $45 per person, with music, painting raffles and demonstrations by well-known artists on the evening's program. (Please contact WPP at (804)220-8830 for information on ticket purchase) On Sunday, February 28, Artful Healing is free and open to the public from 10 AM to 5 PM. Visitors are encouraged to see painting demonstrations, participate in a raffle of donated art and visit three rooms of fine art for purchase from 78 artists.
At our inaugural year, more than 800 people attended. The money raised helped World Pediatric Project to send pediatric surgical and diagnostic teams into WPP partner countries to provide critical care services and to develop prevention programs aimed at reducing birth defects and preventable diseases.
Co-chairs of the Artful Healing Committee are: Lee Austin, Marti Franks, Sally Lawson and Kathy Miller.

Whether you are at LaVernapalooza to have a good time or there to enjoy what some label as hip-hop, you are supporting artists who continually write misogynistic songs, and sadly receive profits for their lyrical trash.

Why the iPod Touch?
Lori Long, school technology integration specialist, became interested in acquiring iPod Touches for the school after attending a workshop that focused on hand-held or mobile devices in the classroom.
"It was about how they can be beneficial tools—not the toys you think of that kids use outside of school," she explained. "They can enhance learning."
For example using the iPod Touch, students can search online, create multi-media presentations and flash cards for study guides.
"They're easier to hold and more affordable than laptop computers," Long said.
Long downloaded free software—Google Earth—into the school's 25 new devices that accesses aerial imagery and other geographic data about the earth through the Internet in three-dimensions.
Price was also appealing in ordering the devices, Long said.
Laptops for mobile carts cost upwards of $1,000, she said, while the price tag for an iPod Touch is about $230 with warranty.
More about iPods and other technology can be viewed at www.apple.com/education/teachers-professors/mobile-learning.html

There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Brian Brown is an architectural and documentary photographer, historian, and author from Fitzgerald, Georgia.
Milton N. Hopkins, Jr., author of In One Place: The Natural History of a Georgia Farmer, was one of the first people, besides his parents, to encourage his writing. At 16 he began publishing observations on the birdlife of southern Georgia in The Oriole, the state ornithological journal and did a piece about roadside wildflowers for the state botanical magazine, Tipularia. While working on his high school newspaper, he interviewed Erskine Caldwell, legendary Georgia author of Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. At Young Harris College, in 1989, he received the Danforth Bearse Memorial Poetry Prize for work in the Corn Creek Review.He earned a BA Degree in History from Georgia College (Now Georgia College & State University) in 1992, after earlier studies at Young Harris College and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
He has published primarily on Georgia history, with a concentration on the flight of the Confederate executive branch in 1865. He spent three years with the Department of Natural Resources at Irwinville, Georgia, site of Jefferson Davis' capture by Union troops. He was instrumental in modernizing and documenting primary sources during the state's reacquisition of the property from Irwin County. Research at that time led to publication in The Civil War in Georgia: A New Georgia Encyclopedia Companion (UGA Press); The Civil War Trust's Official Guide to the Civil War Discovery Trail (Frommer's); Georgia Journal; Georgia Backroads; and Tifton Magazine, as well as an appearance on the ever-popular GPTV feature Georgia's Backroads.
In 2008 he was a recipient of the Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Prize, one of the largest independent literary prizes in the United States.
His poems appear in over 50 journals and anthologies: Birmingham Arts Journal; Blue Collar Review; Breadcrumb Scabs; Caveat Lector; Chiron Review; Clapboard House; Connecticut River Review; Dead Mule School of Southern Literature; Delmarva Review; Homestead Review; Inkwell; Keyhole; Louisiana Review; Powhatan Review; Red Hills Reader; Roanoke Review; Santa Clara Review; Snake Nation Review; Southern Poetry Anthology: Georgia (Texas Review Press, 2012, Will Wright, Editor); Town Creek Poetry; and The Wiregrass Reader, among numerous others.
Presently, his focus has shifted more to documenting, through photography, the endangered vernacular architecture and culture of South Georgia for his websites Vanishing South Georgia, Vanishing Coastal Georgia, Georgia in the Great Depression, and Irwinville Farms. He has self-published Vanishing Irwin County and Vanishing Coffee County to help support the mission of the websites.

"Girls, boys win NCC track championships"
"In a race that came down to the lean, senior Falcon Dail Bates places second to Sultan's Kamiya by less than a nose at Friday's North Cascades Conference Championship.Matt Johnson / staff photosThough he would wind up taking the bar down on this jump, Falcon Stuart Bowers came back minutes later to clear this height in the high jump.Doug Fulton and the rest of the South Whidbey High School track and field coaching staff should be savoring every moment this spring. On Friday, both the schools boys and girls track teams defended their North Cascades Conference titles in a championship meet that forced the Falcons to throw everything they had at the competition.Most of the Falcon runners, jumpers, and throwers never stopped moving during the entire evening at the Lynden Christian High School track because they had to compete in as many as four events each. By the time darkness finally fell on the track and the last relay team had crossed the finish line, the Falcon athletes were exhausted. But they left with two NCC trophies after setting a meet record, a school record, and more than a dozen personal-best marks.It was an extremely high-quality meet, said Coach Fulton, who has watched both his teams shatter records all season long.The wins were not assured when the Falcons took the field. In the boys competition, the Falcons had to beat a Lakewood team that had the ability to sweep almost every throwing event and several of the sprints. To counter this, the South Whidbey boys loaded up the distance and middle distance events. In the 1,600, Braden Giswold, Bruce Hymas, and Brandon Bilyeu used Killer B power to sweep the top three places and to dump 24 points into the Falcons' winning total of 143. In the 800, Giswold, Brett Perkins, and Bilyeu continued buzzing along, locking up first, third, and fourth for another 21 points. The 3,200 was also a 20-point Falcon bonanza, with Giswold winning, Hymas taking third, and freshman James Sundquist stepping up to slash 10 seconds from his personal best time to place fifth.South Whidbey also scored success in the 400, where Joe Candelario beat out fellow Falcon Andy Wills for third. Wills had his own successes later, winning the 200 and placing second in the 100. To end the day, the Falcons saved the best for last and set a new school and new NCC meet record in the 4x400 relay, even though team members Giswold, Bilyeu, Perkins, and Candelario were worn down from their toughest running schedule of the year.Girls win with varietySouth Whidbey's girls took a different route to their championship. Talented in the sprints, distances, and in the field, they chalked up top-three finishes in 11 events. Senior Andrea McGillen was the team's workhorse for the day. For more than two hours, McGillen soared over the long and triple jump pits, pole vaulted, and ran the anchor leg for the 4x100 relay on her way to three individual NCC championships and the highest athlete point tally at the meet.Backing McGillen were sprinters Dail Bates, Lindsay Binford, and Melissa Poolman, who monopolized the runner-up spots, respectively, in the 100, 200, and 400, as well as McGillen's freshman sister, Katy, who placed second in the 100 hurdles and in the high jump.A surprise winner for the team was Kelli Berry, who won the javelin with the best throw by a Falcon since Keesha Kalahiki's record-setting tosses last year. Equally surprising was senior Sara DeGraaf, who lopped 20 seconds off her best time in the 3,200 as she raced to a crucial third-place finish. Her distance-running compatriot, Karen Schwager, was also spectacular in her race, the 1,600. Schwager set a career best of 5:27 on her way to fourth place.Big points also came from the relay teams. The Falcon 4x100 and 4x200 teams placed second to Sultan in both events, while the girls 4x400 team made its best run of the year to place third.The Falcons compete next at the district championship meet in Silverdale.

On Tap Today: Remembering Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf died in 1976, Muddy Waters in 1983, but there are musicians still around today who played with the blues legends, who are keeping their music alive today. Musicians like Jody Williams, a guitarist who played with Wolf, and Bob Margolin, Waters' guitarist for seven years, and Grammy winner James Cotton, who played with both Wolf and Waters.
Those three musicians, as well as the Fabulous Thunderbirds and multi-instrumentalist Tinsley Ellis, come together for a special Wolf and Waters tribute show, "Blues at the Crossroads II." The show begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater. Tickets are $35 to $45 and available to purchase at the box office, by calling (800) 745-3000 and clicking here. »Read Full Blog Post

Unlike the sometimes threatening objects radar is designed to locate (like missiles and submarines), most of the NBA's free agents aren't actually trying to evade it. In fact, it's safe to say most who've made it this far without finding a deal could actually use a little more radar aimed their way.
That's a tough sell in many of these cases. Some of the best free agents left on the market spent their 2012-13 seasons with the likes of the Charlotte Bobcats, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz. It's not about these teams being bad; it's about no one noticing them in the first place.
And so it is some of their free agents have gone similarly unnoticed, dodging radar like torpedoes headed straight for the Development League. It's too soon to declare them all bound for the D-League, of course. We know that won't be the case for Mo Williams, who the radar simply forgot about. Nor will we see veterans like Leandro Barbosa or Beno Udrih go without one last NBA role-play run.
Unless they can make a lot more money overseas, anyway.
It's also worth noting that even if these guys have flown under our radar for the most part, that doesn't mean front offices around the league haven't been watching. There are still roster spots to be filled and still more openings may emerge as prospects get demoted or injuries warrant changes of plans.
And as we'll see, some of these free agents are already close to joining the ranks of the NBA's employed.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could view all this data that Google stores about you in one place?

How to disable the targeted ads (bubbling) in Google
If you use Google services, you might be knowing that Google collects some data about you to target you with relevant ads. Of all the information collected by Google, the most notable are your search queries when you are signed in (or even if you aren't), your location, your web browser cookies, and even your email. For example, if I Googled on how to buy tablets, I will see ads about online shops which sell tablets. Some users care a lot about their privacy and some of them just do not want any targeted ads. For those users, Google has a special set of settings.
How to sign up on Google without creating a Gmail account
Google is a company that does not require any introduction. I am sure that every Winaero reader has used it at least once. During its long history, Google has created a bunch of useful services which are used by millions people everyday.
Almost all Google services require a special account called simply the "Google account". When you are signing in with Google, it creates a new Gmail account for you automatically, so you will always get a new email address and inbox. Although most users consider Gmail as a useful service, you might have your own opinion about it and have no plans to use Gmail. In such a case, you can create a Google account without Gmail. Here is how you can do it.
Change Google+ Hangouts volume and more with Hangout Toolbox
In our earlier post, you were introduced to Google+ Hangouts and why it's one of the best video calling experience currently on the web. Well that doesn't mean that it's perfect. Hangouts currently leaves a lot to be desired in terms of features.
One of the most basic tasks you would want to do when you are in a video call is to adjust the volume. But you will find no such feature by default in Google+ Hangouts. Ridiculous, isn't it? It's because Hangouts controls the volume automatically depending on your microphone input volume, background noise etc. But fear not, it's possible to manually adjust the volume. In this article, I will show you how.
Introduction to Google+ Hangouts – free, high quality video calls!
Today, I would like to introduce you to one useful, free and cool service we have on the web, courtesy of Google - Google+ Hangouts. Now you may wonder what is special about Hangouts when you have literally hundreds of free solutions - Facebook video chat, Microsoft's Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Apple's FaceTime and several dozen others. Well, let's see what makes Hangouts great.

New ADP Research Institute® Study Shows Continuing Disconnect Between Human Resources Departments and Employees
Disconnect Exists Across Company Sizes and Global Geographies
ROSELAND, N.J. – September 23, 2014 – ADP®, a leading global provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, today revealed findings from several new ADP Research Institute® studies on the interplay between human resources (HR) departments and the employees they serve. The studies, compiled in the white paper Human Capital Management's Disconnect: A Global Snapshot, found a persistent disconnect between HR and the workforce irrespective of company size or location. The findings further revealed the disconnect extends to senior leadership, who also appear out of touch with employee attitudes and perceptions.
Among the areas where employees, HR and senior leadership don't see eye-to-eye are:
"What this study shows is, despite efforts to improve communications and facilitate better relationships between HR, senior leadership and employees, a big gap remains," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and head of the ADP Research Institute. "Companies are operating without a fully engaged workforce, an issue that has to be addressed if they are going to effectively manage their human capital."
On a global basis, with the exception of Latin America, employees outside the U.S. appear much less satisfied overall with the companies they work for.
Perhaps more disturbing is the difference in the perception between HR and employees on how the company is managed. Employees tend to rate many management functions, particularly those dealing with workforce and talent management, much lower than HR does. This was true in all geographies and across nine different talent management areas surveyed, including opportunity for professional growth, training and support from management. Employee perceptions tended to be lower as company size increased.
The relationship with HR also has a major impact on employee retention. In the U.S., two out of five employees indicated an intention to leave their companies within the next 12 months. According to the study, dissatisfaction with HR processes, policies and functions is a major driver behind intent to leave.

Dedicated to producing effective products that are safe for People, Pets and Wildlife.
EcoClear Products, Inc. was founded in Sarasota, FL in the Fall of 2013 by Christopher Stidd, a businessman involved in the Pet Industry for almost 10 years. Over his career Christopher noticed that there was a lack of effective pesticide products on the shelves that were safe for your pets, family and wildlife. In 2011, Christopher and his family lost a part of their lives when their family pet "Pretty Girl", ingested a powerful toxic rodenticide and lost her life. "Every day I think of the tears running down my kid's faces when they found Pretty Girl."
Ever since that day in 2011, Christopher has been working with some of the top chemists in the United States to market products that are safe for your family, pets and wildlife. Including no risk of secondary kill for birds of prey or wildlife. The Chemists on the EcoClear Products, Inc. team have 4 Presidential Awards for "Green" Chemistry. They also have a vast experience in Pesticides, Rodenticides, Detergents, Automotive, Food Supply and much more.
EcoClear Products, Inc. now has 3 separate sales divisions led by Christopher Stidd. The Retail Product Branding/Manufacturing Division, Private Label Division and Pest Control Operator Wholesale/Manufacturing Division.
EcoClear Products, Inc. is dedicated to producing effective products that are safe for People, Pets and Wildlife." We require rigorous testing and results that are no less then 100% effective and 100% safe for your family and your wildlife.
Because all rodents have a digestive system that is different from other animals. The way rodents absorb water through their lower gut is quite different to any other animals, including humans and birds. This unique digestive system is a part of what makes a rodent different from other animals.
Between 40 to 60 grams per rat and 10 to 15 grams per mouse. To encourage consumption, other sources of food should be cleared away.
Nothing, because RatX™ contains no poison, there is no risk of secondary poisoning. Your cat and dog are perfectly safe as are horses, poultry and other farm livestock. It is the same for birds of prey.

It coats the lining of a part of the rodent's lower gut. This coating of the "fine hairs" in the lower gut, called villi, disrupts the message system to the rodents brain causing it to stop drinking. This leads to dehydration, blood thickening, kidney dysfunction, coma and eventual death.
When the rodent ingests the bait they become very lethargic and return to their home (Burrow, Nest or Hole). The rodent then dies in its sleep inside its home. Immediately upon death the accelerated dehydration process starts. This process Mummifies the deceased rodent reducing the decomposition smell up to 90%.
When used correctly death will occur within 3 to 5 days of regular feeding. More rodents may be seen during this period as they become lethargic and slower to react to disturbance.
No, RatX is safe for all Wildlife. RatX is also safe for Birds of Prey as there is no risk of Secondary Kill.
