Angels Among Us1 of 18
By Natasha Burton
Wednesday marked one of the biggest runway events of the year: the 11th annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, held at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. While the show won't air until Dec. 4 on CBS, we have your behind-the-scenes look at the genetically blessed models.
Wonder Bra2 of 18
This year, Victoria's Secret veteran Alessandra Ambrosio was selected to wear the $2.5 million Floral Fantasy Bra created by London Jewelers. The piece features amethysts, rubies, sapphires and diamonds -- including a 20-carat stunner – all set in white and rose gold. To prepare for the moment, Ambrosio says she added upper body exercises to her pre-show workout routine. "Brazilians only work out the lower body," she says. "And this year, for the first time, I'm like doing arms and I'm doing chest and back. I'm doing all this for the bra."
Get to Prepping3 of 18
For last night's show, 65 costumes and 28 pairs of angel wings were used to adorn the 38 models walking the Victoria's Secret runway. Countless makeup artists, stylists and hair pros helped get the models ready for their close-ups.
Early Bird4 of 18
At 6 a.m., Aussie Angel Shanina Shaik (who happens to be dating Tyson Beckford) tweeted that she was already up and on her way to the show for hair and makeup. (Now, why don't we look this fresh-faced when we're up before dawn?)
Hot Mamma5 of 18
Following in the footsteps of former angel Heidi Klum, Brazilian bombshell Adrianna Lima, seen here getting her makeup done, walked the runway less than two months after giving birth to her second daughter.
Snack Attack6 of 18
California-born model Lindsay Ellingson got her glam on while she indulged in a pre-show popsicle. Yum!
Love Notes7 of 18
Last night, V.S. vet Doutzen Kroes celebrated more than four years of Angeldom, as well as her two-year wedding anniversary with husband, DJ Sunnery James. Before the show, she tweeted: "Today we are married 2 years! I'm so grateful for my lovely husband @sunneryjames." Aww…
Bob & Weave8 of 18
Model Karlie Kloss turned heads by debuting a very un-Angel chin-length bob right before the big show. To get her runway ready (as in big, Victoria's Secret hair), Kloss was given quickie extensions to restore her long tresses.
Sleeping Beauty9 of 18
How does South African beauty Candice Swanepoel prep for strutting down the catwalk in her skivvies? She told Celebuzz that her secret is drinking lots of water and scheduling two days of workouts followed by one day off. But the most important part of her pre-show prep is sleep. "No matter what you do, if you don't sleep and rest, you'll look terrible," she says.
You Better Work...10 of 18
For her inaugural turn down the Victoria's Secret catwalk, Estée Lauder model Hilary Rhoda hit the gym hard to get in shape. She even shared photos of her pre-show workouts, tweeting "#VSFashionShow training... You get out what you put in! @ Gotham Gym." (Other newcomers to the show this year included British models Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn.)
Models Ink11 of 18
Model Liu Wen got all tatted up backstage, tweeting that she spent over five hours in the makeup chair while the artists of Saved Tattoo in New York used tiny brushes to paint detailed artwork all over her body.
Snap to It12 of 18
When she wasn't in the makeup chair, 19-year-old Hungarian model Barbara Palvin spent her time backstage posting photos of herself with fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and photographer Russell James on Instagram.
Bieber Fever13 of 18
Models Candice Swanepoel and Lindsay Ellingson pose with none other than the "Baby" crooner, who performed at the show along with Rihanna and Bruno Mars. Oddly enough, Swanepoel somewhat predicted Beiber's appearance. In March, Modelina asked her who she wanted to serenade the angels this year and Swanepoel replied, "I say Justin Bieber, but in a couple of years, maybe…" Looks like her wish came early!
Non-Belieber?14 of 18
Model Miranda Kerr, seen here getting her hair done backstage before the show, didn't seem as sold on the Beibs as Swanepoel. When asked her opinion of Beiber by ABC before last night's taping, Kerr said: "Let's wait and see until I meet him, and then I'll make my decision." She did, however, admit that, "he's cute."
Bling, Bling15 of 18
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Swarovski Elements' partnership with the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, American model Cameron Russell, seen here with fellow angel Barbara Fialho before the show, walked the runway wearing an estimated $5 million in jewels, including a 16-carat diamond ring.
Pretty in Pink16 of 18
Namibian Model Behati Prinsloo flashes a peace sign backstage as she gets some finishing touches. Prinsloo is the face of Victoria's Secret's Pink line and is currently dating Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. (Levine apparently has a thing for Angels; his ex is V.S. model Anne Vyalitsyna.)
Boss Lady17 of 18
Models Lily Aldridge and Miranda Kerr pose with Victoria's Secret CEO Sharen Turney, who's helmed the lingerie line since 2006.
Nailing It18 of 18
Sui He gets a pre-show manicure before taking her turn on the runway. She is currently a model for the Karl by Karl Lagerfeld spring 2012 ad campaign.

"Sent from my Apple iPhone"
Posted on : 04-26-2012 | By : Andy | In : pop culture, random, tech
Tags: advertising, bragging, iphone, pride
Sometimes pop culture grabs on to something that I just find so annoying or ridiculous that I can't help but point them out. Why? Because people often get suckered into doing things that make them look rather foolish, all the while thinking they're cool, or not having a clue how to fix it.
Case in point: the automatic advertisement posted at the end of all your emails that says:
"Sent from my Apple iPhone"
"Sent from my Apple iPad"
"Sent from my Asus Pad"
"Sent from my Android Phone"
"Sent from my 4G LTE HTC Incredible Smartphone with Google Android and Haptic Feedback technology enhanced by Verizon's Next Generation network"
"Sent from my TRSDOS-80"
Now I know that you may want all your friends to think you're cool because you have an iPhone, but that email signature does not accomplish such a goal. When your email program shamelessly broadcasts that fact to every family member, friend, acquaintance, business contact, or stranger you email, it screams "PRETENTIOUS JERK." We don't care that you have the same smartphone as half the rest of the world. You announcing that to me does not inspire respect, or awe, but rather scorn. In case you missed this lesson in preschool, announcing your accomplishments or possessions to the world in order to make people think you're awesome is called bragging, and it really just makes people see you as shallow (and definitely not awesome). They may be jealous of your iPhone, but they're certainly not jealous of your personality.
The other alternative is that you don't know how to get rid of that message, since every smartphone, tablet, and pc manufacturer in the world sets it as a default these days (don't get me started!). If this is the case, Google it. There are instructions out there that are easy to follow and take next to no time to find and implement. Quit being a sheep, offering blatant, unpaid advertising free to the manufacturer who overcharged you for your device in the first place. If this is still too hard, ask a neighbor kid to get it off your phone and they'll have it done before you can say "Jack Robinson."
I don't care what phone, tablet, laptop, mainframe, or cerebral implant you're sending your email from. So quit telling me every time you send an email. It makes you look bad.

text: MTA higher ed unions agree to new contracts After a prolonged struggle, MTA higher education unions have agreed to new contract terms that delay payment of negotiated raises by 364 days in each of the next three years. These new deals have been approved by the membership of all of the MTA higher education units. MTA higher education association leaders finalized these contracts in recent weeks with their respective employers, the Board of Higher Education and the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees. On July 9, Governor Deval Patrick submitted to the Legislature a supplemental budget that includes funding for the ratified higher education contracts. The supplemental budget, House Bill 4868, is now awaiting the approval of the House Ways and Means Committee. The contracts reached by MTA unions representing faculty, librarians and professional staff include a 1.5 percent retroactive increase as of June 30 and two subsequent 3.5 percent increases on June 30 of 2011 and 2012. The new contracts for MTA members represented by classified units, whose members earn step increases, include a 1 percent retroactive increase as of June 30, 2010, and 3 percent increases on June 30 of 2011 and 2012. The Association of Professional Administrators, which is on a different contract cycle than the other MTA units, will receive retroactive pay and also raises at the end of the next two calendar years. APA members will receive a retroactive 1.5 percent pay increase dating back to December 31, 2009, and 3.5 percent increases on December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2011. In addition to the APA, units affected by these contracts include the Classified Staff Union at UMass Boston, the Classified and Technical Union at UMass Lowell, the Massachusetts Community College Council, the Massachusetts State College Association, the Massachusetts Society of Professors and Faculty Staff Union at UMass Amherst, the Massachusetts Society of Professors at UMass Lowell, the Maintenance and Trades Union at UMass Lowell, the Professional Staff Union at UMass Amherst and UMass Boston, and the University Staff Association at UMass Amherst. The MTA higher education unions have been involved in a contract struggle for more than three years. The campaign has included picketing, rallying, lobbying and meeting with state officials, including the governor. The last such meeting, in Natick on April 27, brought higher education leaders together from across the state. Such efforts are credited with the governor dropping his demand for furloughs – a provision that was included in the final settlements with other public employee unions.

Roxbury runoff election set for Tuesday
ROXBURY The runoff election for the Select Board seat currently held by Chairman Shawn Neun will be held by Australian ballot Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the town office.
Neun and challenger Tim Martin Jr. ran against each other for the three-year seat on Town Meeting Day this month, but Town Clerk Tammy Legacy said the vote was split 142-142.
After the tie was announced, Neun said one of the reasons the vote was so close was that some people thought they were voting for Martins father, as Martin had chosen not to be listed with Jr. on the ballot. Also, Neun said Martin had been scaring people into voting against the chairman by saying the board was ruining the town and running it in debt.
Martin said he was simply informing people about how much the town owed from Tropical Storm Irene and that while FEMA and the state have promised to take care of the $400,000 debt, the money was not in hand yet.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

6 Things Every New Vegan Should Do
Are you new to the world of saving animals and eating healthy? Welcome! Here are six things that you should do RIGHT now.
1. Eat vegan versions of your favorite meals.
There are vegan versions of almost every meal you can think of—really! "Veganize" your favorite recipes simply by replacing the meat and dairy foods with beans, grains, nuts, veggies, faux meats, and dairy-free foods. You don't have to go a single day without your favorite meals.
2. Explore thousands of delicious vegan recipes.
You can check out thousands of free vegan recipes on our website, or you can buy one of our favorite cookbooks. You can also peruse your local library for vegan cookbooks—there are hundreds of titles available.
3. Try some tasty faux meats and dairy-free treats.
Low-fat, high-protein faux-meat products, which can now be found at almost every grocery store, can help ease the transition. Dairy-free items, including vegan milk, cream cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, are also readily available at most grocery stores.
4. Sample microwaveable vegan meals and convenience foods.
Always on the run? There are tons of microwaveable vegan meals and convenient snacks available everywhere, from your local health-food store to big retailers like Walmart and Target.
5. Search online for the best vegan-friendly restaurants in your area.
Whatever your budget and wherever you live, you can enjoy great vegan meals while dining out. White Castle, Chipotle, The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang's are just a few of the national restaurant chains that offer meat-free meals. Locally owned restaurants across the country are also teeming with vegan options. Check out this handy guide to eating vegan at chain restaurants.
6. Explore the wide variety of meat-free ethnic foods.
Don't be shy about exploring new cuisines. Ethnic foods like Thai, Korean, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Ethiopian, and Italian are often centered around vegan-friendly foods. Although restaurants in your area are sure to offer delicious dishes, you can also save time and money by making them at home.
Need some more tips and recipes? You can order one of our free vegan starter kits.

Like so many, I've recently become aware of the horrors of what goes on in factory farms, and all farms, really. Though I haven't eaten much meat for years, I am on the verge of cutting back completely and am working of finding substitutes, how to transition, etc. I want to say how gratifying it is to see the young ages of many commenters here! I do believe that one day we won't be eating animals like we do now.
Im thinking on going vegiterian and this article has really helped me
I been vegetarian since I was eight and now I'm eleven. The nutrition from my diet helps me in gymnastics training. I enjoy being vegetarian.
after recently becoming a vegetarian, i feel great
both pysically and emotionally. i love that less
animals have to be killed because of our lifestyle.
and pysically i feel very energized. im 15, almost 16,
and i may be young but i will be vegetarian for life!
I recently became a vegetarian and it's the best choice that I have ever made. I feel good, I am losing weight- and I am guilt-free. I wish that I could have made the decision long ago but after reading the book Empty Cages by Tom Regan, I have made a lifestyle change and couldn't be happier! I encourage everyone to read that book or do their own research about what animals go through before ending up on the plate.
I'm 12 and I've been a vegetarian for the past seven years.Recently I've been thinking about becoming a vegan.
I'm another guilty omnivore, I typically gather my food myself from the ocean, but am growing tired of spearing fish and cooking food live. And to top it off, I'm starting a relationship with a vegan, so going vegetarian is a must at least to eliminate meal-time issues. As a former chef as well, I am huge on taste and texture… any ideas on brands I can turn to that may not be far off from the real thing so I won't notice the change as much??
@anonymous re what was referred to as possible protein and energy deficiencies if going vegan. not sure if that was a serious post or not. if it was serious, please google. there are scores of athletes who are vegan. watch the docu 'forks over knives' free on youtube for a couple examples. so many serious olympic and ironman triathalon athletes who are vegan. protein req is only over 2g per 100 calories. and calcium less than meat eaters because we dont eat foods that deplete calcium. good luck to you.
I realize that I'm a bit young compared to others on this site. (I will be fifteen in a couple months.) I have been considering becoming vegan for a while now. I have been in cross country, so I haven't been able to make the transition yet, due to possible protein and energy deficiencies. However, now that the season is coming to a close, I was really hoping to finally do it. Right now I am a straight up omnivore, but I am having growing issues with the exploitation of animals. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to make the transition as quickly and smoothly as possible?
Hi all, I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian (possibly vegan in the not so distant future =]) but have already planned and started this in the past only to be put down by my loved ones and friends, any advice on how to deal/cope with these problems?
At least half of your diet should consist of fruits & veggies.
Also try using quinoa, and quinoa or vegetable pastas. Hope that helps.

Hi, my mum's been a Vegan since…well before my memory exists, and I've been a vegetarian for the past 4 years, since i was 17 and my brother is a vegetarian as well. I've got to say that a lot of these products are kind of needless, such as the mock-beef, and most of the processed foods. I live in the UK and we have soya butter for those who dislike margerine, and for people who are allergic to soy products, i would suggest getting Oat Milk.
The stuff in stores is expensive, so buy powdered oats from body building websites http://www.myprotein.com/uk/products/instant_oats (that's the one i use, it's super cheap and healthy) and mix it up with water, and you get an oat milk which is high in oats (store bought stuff is 10% oats at best) and tastes great.
Also, aubergine, avocado and pumpkin are great replacements for mock-meats they're thick and filling. Instead of buying store-made soups chop up a bunch of root vegetables put them in a pot of water and simmer for an hour, maybe add some lentils, lemon grass or whatever spices you want and you've got a great filling soup which if you make enough will last for days.
One of my favourite things to do when i have the chance to cook breakfast is to make a lentil only quasi-soup, with a little tabasco and soya butter to thicken, whip it up with a whisk, put it on a thick slice bread like sourdough or campagne and then cook cherry tomatoes and spinach in a pan with a bit of water instead of oil and hey presto its a weekend breakfast. Otherwise museli/weetabix with oat milk/soya milk and fruit is a good easy breakfast for the weekdays.
It costs so much money to buy meat, and the soya replacements found in-store aren't particularly cheap (though I would recommend Booja booja chocolates as a treat and sometimes you need to buy egg replacement powder for desserts). Really it comes down to how much energy you're willing to invest. Cooking in this way is cheap and easy, it just depends on if you're willing.
Please try not to rely on the mock-meats, it is so EASY to live without but they have their places as a good transitional product for full fledged meat eaters to vegetarian/vegan. Also farm cattle produce a third of all methane in the worlds atmosphere. That's a little stat that helps stave off meat desires. Cos not only is it true, but it's gross in a way that people can relate to moreso than death.
I've been a lacto-vegetarian for about 3 months now and I absolutely love it. It's so fun to challenge yourself every single meal. I'm not totally vegan yet…though dairy has always given be a bad reaction…I just can't give up cheese. The many different non-dairy milks are the best…but I still can't get used to fake cheese. Maybe one day!
In the past few weeks I've discovered vegetarian sausages, burgers and different veg variations of my once favorite foods…and words can't express how happy I am! At cook outs I always come prepared and even get people to fall in love with this food. I'm all for eating organically and now pumping my body full of chemicals…but I think those things in moderation are ok…especially when you get that sausage and peppers craving!
To the person who was having trouble with their family accepting them as a vegetarian…all I can say is know your facts and stay strong! My friends and family were skeptical at first, now they're really supportive of my choices 🙂
p.s.-it's not a DIET…it's a lifestyle 🙂
I've been going vegetarian for 7 months now and I really enjoy it, but of course,I love the fact that I'm able to show my compassion for animals by eating less meat but, unfortunately I hit a few "road blocks" along the way, especially with family members that don't really want you to go vegetarian, and stay with meat. Any advice on how to keep the peace with family members so we can all respect other people's eating habits, especially when we go out to eat at restaurants?
I have to say I was surprised that vegan "meats" taste great! And your not left with that stuffed bloated feeling after eating. My weakness was always sausage so I tried the morning star brand and it was totally satisfying. Sautee up some peppers and onion and you have a great sandwich. Its so much fun discovering new foods.
I've wanted to become a vegan for more than 20 years, and have read books like Fast Food Nation and Diet for a New Planet. But it wasn't until I started looking around the PETA site and encountered the first couple of seconds of the video narrated by Sir Paul McCartney about the horrors that go on inside a slaughterhouse that I finally had what I needed to call up the discipline to go vegan. I am on Day 7, and have had some ups and downs, but the biggest concern I have is that I seem to be overloading on carbs. How many fruits and veggie servings should I aim for each day?
Vaeganism is a healthy eating lifestyle that has amazing benefits. It saves water, and grain and earth's resources. I am not into worshiping animals, but am in total agreement of the diet. That should still make the animal worshipers happy because every day I eat as a vegan, fewer animals die as a result of what I eat. I still have a leather coat, shoes, and belt.
I am slowly phasing out animal foods.I am having a hard time cutting cheese out.I have tried a couple of non-cheeses such as Follow Your Heart and really didn't care for it.I am going to give Daiya a try and I also just today bought a Tofurky Vegan Pizza,which I am going to have tomorrow night for dinner instead.
T–I recently read the book "Skinny Bitch" and it said that the "follow your heart" cheeses were really good. It also gave other brand names of foods they liked the best. I haven't made it to the store to pick up that cheese yet, but hope it helps!
I am eleven and the rest of my family eats meat. I belive you are never to young to become vegitarian. <3
For those who don't love all that many vegetables. Me neither. your two new best friends are maple syrup and high heat.
The trick is to grill, broil, or fry it until the outside carmelizes. Toss veggies lightly in oil, bake at 425 on the highest rack until browned. OR (my current favorite) mix a little soy sauce and MAPLE SYRUP and saute or bake the veggies in this.
Hello, I am not pro-peta, or opposed to eating animal products for ethical reasons, but believe it is healthier to eat only plant products. I believe many diseases are avoided by our diet, and want to eat vegetarian or better yet, vegan. No dairy
vegetarian is easy but so far can't do vegan. bought soy milk & gagged at the taste, also margarine. never have been able to stand it & it isn't good for you.
So I am considering becoming a vegetarian, but the kind that still eats fish and chicken. Hopefully after trying this out, I will be able to give up my love for chicken too. I am not as much of a veggie lover as I wish I was, and I hate beans with all my soul. I also am concerned that becoming a vegetarian will unbalance my diet, and not give me all the nutrients that I need. I need some meat alternatives that still provide the same or similar nutrients. Help?
I am all for eating well but all those dairy and meat alternatives are FULL of chemicals, I can't even understand half of the ingredients listed there and I don't think anyone who doesn't have a degree in chemistry can either. I do not believe in mass production farms and it saddens me to know that many people do not have respect for the animals they eat but at the same time I do not believe in pumping my body with genetically engineered ingredients that could remove rust off my car. Thanks but no thanks.
T, yes, there are! I am new to vegan and doing research on this. The Follow Your Heart brand does a good job w/vegan cheese. I also just ordered a book on cooking with nutritional yeast. I'm hearing that you can get great cheese oriented dishes by cooking with it, even slice-able. Don't give up and good luck!
I would love to become vegan. Cutting out meat is easy for me…but I'm a cheese LOVER!! I tried a rice cheese, but it was nasty both in taste and texture. Does a really yummy non dairy cheese exist?
Hi Kazbe, Thanks for your comment. We do advocate healthy initiatives and try to select a variety of items suitable for everyone. There are several healthy options in this list, from pasta with roasted veggies to fresh veggie sushi. We do our best to accommodate the wide variety of tastes and needs of our readers. Feel free to share some healthy ideas for your fellow readers. Thanks!
There is so much rubbishy and high fat food suggested here – no wonder so many of the vegies I know are overweight. If you are going to suggest ways to go vegetarian, at least make it healthy! And spare a thought for those of us who are allergic to soy – as many people are.
Everything great. I became vegetarian, convinced of the harm I was making to animals, before realizing Mexico has non of all the products you mention above. I try to be creative… but it is not so easy in Latinamerica as you say. I just wanted to let you know, alike to myself there are some people in my country trying to become vegans, but I do not think there is any solution for the time being for us but to continue being vegetarians and inventing or repeating our meals day after day. Unless more and more people become vegetarian (not vegan, because they would die of starvation)and the need of products becomes evident in our countries.

- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Mali?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 50 pounds for any one bag.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Mali?
It is 220 volts, 50 cycles. However, not many Volunteers have electricity in their homes and where electricity does exist, power cuts and surges are common, putting a real strain on power supplies and voltage transformers or regulators. (The Peace Corps does not provide transformers or regulators.) For battery-powered appliances such as tape players and radios, we suggest D batteries, since these are readily available in markets. Many Volunteers use rechargeable batteries with a solar charger, which is a good alternative to disposable batteries.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. You will be given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover your in-country expenses and normal vacation costs. Some Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel outside the region. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. All banks require proof of purchase (i.e., receipts) to cash traveler's checks. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. We discourage extended visits (i.e., of more than a few weeks), and you will need to take vacation time if hosting visitors requires time away from work. The Peace Corps cannot provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance. Because an evacuation in the event of a medical emergency can cost more than $25,000, all visitors should plan to purchase medical evacuation insurance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects. Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase such insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers are cautioned not to ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
If you plan to rent a car while on vacation outside of Mali, you may need an international driver's license. However, you do not need such a license for Mali, as Volunteers are prohibited from operating motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Travel to and from rural areas is by bus, by minibus, by bicycle, or on foot.
What should I bring as gifts for Malian friends and my host family?
Bringing gifts is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos or postcards from your hometown to give away.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Most Volunteers live in small towns or in rural villages and are usually within one hour from another Volunteer. Some sites require a 10- to 12-hour drive from the capital. Peace Corps trainees are assigned to individual sites early in pre-service training, after Peace Corps staff has been able to assess each trainee's technical and language skills. This early assignment allows trainees to focus on language needs particular to their site. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input about your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, and living conditions.
However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you would ideally like to be.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580.
Can I call home from Mali?
International phone service to and from Mali is relatively good. SOTELMA, the national telephone company, has offices in all administrative towns. Calls to the United States cost approximately 5,000 CFA francs per minute, so most Volunteers prearrange calls from the United States or limit their calls to giving the party in the United States a number at which to return the call. U.S. calling cards cannot be used in Mali at this time, and calling collect is not possible.
Another alternative is the International Callback Service for inexpensive calls from Mali to the United States. All it requires the purchase of a Malian cell phone that generates a DTMF tone not a "pulse" mode. (Cell phones can be purchased relatively cheaply through many street vendors in Bamako or through one of the telecommunication networks in Mali: MALITEL, SOTELMA, ORANGEMALI.) Sign up online with United World Telecom, receive your unique access number, and when calls are placed to the US, the local telecommunications network is bypassed and you pay the low rate of $0.42/minute for the long distance call. No fees, no contracts... ONLY the cost of the long distance phone call.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
There are several cellular service providers in Mali. Service has been limited to Mali but network coverage is rapidly expanding. Peace Corps staff members with emergency responsibilities are equipped with cellphones. Differences in technology make most U.S. cellphones incompatible with the Malian cellular systems. For these reasons, we recommend that you not bring a cellphone with you. Some Volunteer purchase thier own cell phones after they arrive in Mali, although not all Volunteer sites are within cell phone network range.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
As mentioned in the Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle chapter, Volunteers do have occasional access to e-mail and the Internet. The decision of whether to bring a laptop computer depends on your own needs. Computers are not required for Volunteers' work. Few Volunteers have electricity at their sites, and the Peace Corps cannot provide technical support or insurance for personal computers. You can use the computers available through Internet cafes and, for work-related purposes, the Peace Corps office. We do, however, recommend that you bring a jump or thumb drive to faciltate carrying documetns from one computer to another.

Jim Thome
First Baseman
Career w/Phillies: .260 AVG / 96 HR / 266 RBI / 0 SB
When the Phillies signed Jim Thome over Thanksgiving 2002, the statement was clear: The Phillies were big-time players, and wanted to open their new ballpark with a herculean star. Turned out, however, there was another in line for that job.
Thome, of course, entered with the weight of the city on his Bunyonesque shoulders, and he delivered, bashing 47 home runs for an 86-win team that finished five out of the Wild Card. Sure the Phils were a good team, but just not good enough, and so the focus switched from closing out Veterans Stadium with a title to opening Citizens Bank Park with one. A repeat performance came from Thome in 2004, and despite having one of the best offenses in baseball, the Phils again won 86. With Charlie Manuel at the helm and newcomers Chase Utley and Ryan Howard set to electrify the offense, 2005 could've been the year. But it wasn't. And for Thome, it was the end – a season-ending surgery sat him for Howard, who exploded to a Rookie of the Year win. Thome was shipped out to Chicago after 2005, but his time in Philly will be remembered.
Comment: A huge favorite upon arrival, Thome is one of the nicest men to ever have played baseball. He also knocked his 400th home run at Citizens Bank Park. For a few years, he was the man in Philly, and was supposed to lead the Phils to the promised land. Although he didn't, in a way, he helped. And heck, you'll still see Thome jerseys scattered at the Vault today. Three cheers for Bunyon himself.
27 Comments
Thome made me start watching the Phils again, when he came. I'd been out of it for a few years, and he made things exciting again. Mad props.
Is this list the GREATEST players, who happened to play for the Phillies at some point… or is it ranking their greatness while they've been in Phillies uniforms..
Im just confused how Thome would be ahead of Myers… and where Jamie Moyer might fall in… and what not.. I love the thought of this countdown list, I just wish we knew what the criteria was, etc..
Same with me..I was living in Pittsburgh during the college years, jaded to baseball because the pirates were the local team. The phillies had been sucking and hovering around mediocre. this was the first big public step that helped me get back on board. it showed a committment to attrach fans and revenue to help build the team of the future and a team that would go on to win its championship.
I think its what they did WITH the phililes…???/
I remember watching ESPN and seeing that on The Bottom Line… as it scrolled across the screen I started jumping up and down and pumping my fistz!!!
And THome was the man when he was here.. I was in L-CF at the Vet when he hit that triple in his 1st at-bat… eventhough we were trailing the Pirates who hit a GRAND SALAMI in the 1st innings that game… and I remember Thome carrying us on his back and falling just short of the playoffs at the hands of the Marlins..
BUT…. because we didn't get to where we wanted to be with Thome, I'd personally rank Myers ahead of Thome… and like I said, I'd be interested to see where Moyer comes in.. How high up are we going to put Hamels… It will be interesting to see how this list shapes up, and its definitely a GREAT way to keep the conversations going this offseason… great job Tim and crew
I'm ranking players Phils' careers only. So it's just WITH the Phillies.
If not, I'd have a radically different list.
Don, Moyer ranked back a bit, I think at around 91.
ohh… I must have missed him… any chance we can add the previous names to the posting of the new post.. like when 78 comes out, list who #79-100 are to prevent that kinda thing?
Also, did you start from 1 and start listing guys up from there, or start from 100 and start going down… Mitch Williams, Moyer, Mesa?, Thome… did pretty nice things with the Phillies, some set records, others lef us to the postseason or accomplished great milestones…. it will be interesting to see the rest of the list.. great idea for the offseason!
I started from 100.
I'll post an updated list before 75.
Jim Thome will be in the Top 100 for three teams — Cleveland, Philly and Chicago. He was a true gentleman and will be welcomed in Cooperstown five years after he retires. He is an asset to baseball.
I was at the first game that Thome played in CPB after leaving the team, and he got a standing ovation when he came out for his first at bat.
Considering what a rare feat that is for an ex-Philly, it says volumes about the kind of love this town has for him.
i still love Jim Thome. Ever since he met with the Local union guys when he signed here, i've loved the guy. he's so genuine and so polite. great guy all around. a first ballot hall of famer! (as an Indian).
it's ashame we weren't in the AL , we coulda had him and Howard in the same lineup and been one of the greatest offenses of all time.
Interesting thought… what if Thome had not gotten injured?
Thome energized our city… in a way, the energy that he brought to this team and this city helped fuel the passion that we see with our team today. I mean, if Thome doesn't smack 45+ HR in consecutive seasons, do these guys have the same approach to the game? He single-handedly got us close to a championship… when our guys came up, they believed they were close. He changed the mentality of that clubhouse at a time when we needed it most. I think that Thome deserves to be on the list… his impact on this franchise is indeniable. As a player, he'll be remembered for his time as an Indian but he'll always be admired in Philadelphia.
I think Thome was in one of the suites for the World Series… was that Game 4?? I can't even remember if I was there for it, or if it was on TV…. the whole thing still feels like a dream.
Last night I was looking through one of the 3 Phillies World Series Champions magazines that I bought and just looking at the pictures was UNREAL!!!
its a shame Thome missed the CWS World Series, and then missed out here too
9 more HRs gives him 550 for his career… he might be able to get to 600 depending on how much longer he plays. Great guy, he'll always be loved here in Philly.. and we've got Charlie still, which is nice
I was at a Flyers game when Ed Wade was courting Thome. When they announced that he was in attendence, the crowd gave him a standing ovation. It was then that myself as a fan, finally started to see light at the end of the tunnel. Although the light was still way off in the distance, it was there. The Phillies had finally made a move to bring in a free agent, and it wasn't Danny Freaking Tartabull!
By the way, I wonder where Tartabull would rank on this list.
"And if Danny Tartabull were here, I'm sure he'd say, 'That's correct, Jerry.' "
For the first time in my life, I was legitimately excited about the Phillies when they signed Thome. His first season was the first time I remember ever thinking something good would happen during that at-bat, mostly because I was too young to really remember the '93 team. I was sad to see him go, and I always root for him except when he's playing us.
Thinking back, I actually think i started paying attention to the Phillies again after this signing. Guy can still mash with the best of them!
Mitch Williams should definitely be higher than Thome!!! Nothing electrified the stadium like Williams walking out in the ninth to 'wild thang.'
When the Phils signed Thome, my finger was on the button. When they signed Millwood, I bought a partial season ticket plan for the first time. Now I am hooked, big time.
One thing I will always remember aside from those majestic HRS Thome used to hit. I was sitting on the first base side, down pretty close to the field. It was the year Thome was hurt and his batting average was just around .200. He struck out and was booed. He looked at the crowd like we had all grown a set of horns, he could not believe it, niether could I. This gentle giant, a true class above most players in the ML, headed to the HOF was getting booed?
Not a good reflection on us as fans and I know not representative of how most of us feel about the Phils and the game.
I asked this question before about why the current players on the Phillies roster should be included on the "–greatest Phillies" list and didn't received a satisfactory answer. Their career records are obviously incomplete and may or may not achieve greater accomplishments in the ensuing years with the Phillies.
So to Don M who wondered–"Im just confused how Thome would be ahead of Myers–", if Myers continue where he left off the second half of last season, maybe Tim will revise his list again. 😉
Out of all the jerseys I've seen the man wear I still think he looks best in red pinstripes imho.
Two Words : CLASS ACT
Still have my Jim Thome jersey. One of the classiest players baseball has or will see.
I mark the Thome signing as one of the big differences in the Phillies today. I don't know if it was the fact the organization showed that they would spend money when necessary, but I started to believe that this franchise actually cared about winning. From the Thome signing on the Phillies have been a winning ball club. Which from our history really is an accomplishment. Now I can't imagine the Phillies not being in the thick of the playoff race each year.
I feel the same as Ben……I had no hope for the Phils as far as signing good free agents etc,before Thome.
But after this,they started getting serious…( I'm sure the new ballpark had a lot to do with it.)
But Thome was a favorite of mine…..I wish we could have kept this guy…If you were to rank the players according to their impact on the organization,Thome would be a lot higher than 79.
I dont think too many good players wanted to come here before the Thome signing.So he kind of had a major impact,in that respect.
I'd rank Jim Thome much higher than 79! He may even make my top 25! i feel like putting my own list together. I knew people who met Thome and had nothing but nice things to say about him. A class act on and off the field.
I recall when the White Sox were in the play off run against the Twins this year and how happy I was for Thome when he hit a nice blast during that game. I continue to root for the man, much like I will continue to root for Burrell.

Judge denies reporter subpoenas in raw milk case
State reporter shield law cited
A judge has refused to authorize subpoenas for three Madison reporters in a raw milk dispute.
The case revolves around Amish farmer Vernon Hershberger of Loganville. He was charged a year ago with selling raw milk without a license.
The Baraboo News Republic reported a reporter from The Capital Times, a reporter from WISC-TV and WMTV-TV visited Hershberger's farm and reported he was selling milk without a license.
State Justice Department attorneys asked Sauk County Circuit Judge Guy Reynolds to authorize subpoenas for the reporters, but Reynolds refused on Thursday citing Wisconsin's reporter shield law. Those statutes allow subpoenas of journalists only if the information sought isn't available from any other source.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – To prevent deaths and injuries to infants and children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has approved a new federal mandatory standard intended to improve the safety of infant's and children's carriages and strollers. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of the standard (3 to 0) on Tuesday, March 4, 2014.
A stroller is a wheeled vehicle used to transport children, usually from infancy to 36 months old. Children are transported generally sitting up or in a semi-reclined position by a person pushing on a handle attached to the stroller. Carriages are wheeled vehicles made to transport an infant, usually in a position lying down. Carriages and strollers within the scope of the new standard include full-size 2D strollers that fold in front-to-back (or back-to-front) and 3D strollers that fold in front-to-back (or back-to-front), as well as side-to-side directions, travel systems (including car seats), tandem, side-by-side, multi-occupant and jogging strollers.
The new federal standard incorporates by reference the most recent voluntary standard developed by ASTM International (ASTM F833-13b), Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Carriages and Strollers, with a modification to address head entrapment hazards associated with multi-positional/adjustable grab bars.
In addition, the new safety standard addresses hazards associated with strollers reported to the agency, including:
CPSC has received about 1,300 incident reports related to strollers reported from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013. Four of those incidents involved a fatality.
The effective date for the mandatory carriage and stroller standard is 18 months after the final rule is published in the Federal Register.
The Commission is required by The Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. In the past 5 years, the Commission has approved new federal safety standards for children's products, including full-size cribs, non-full-size cribs, play yards, baby walkers, baby bath seats, children's portable bed rails, toddler beds, infant swings, bassinets and cradles, hand-held infant carriers and bedside sleepers.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the

Final Rule: July 19, 2011
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 authorizes the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to specify, by rule, for any consumer product or class of consumer products, characteristics whose existence or absence shall be deemed a substantial product hazard under certain circumstances. We are issuing a final rule to determine that children's upper outerwear garments in sizes 2T to 12 or the equivalent, which have neck or hood drawstrings, and in sizes 2T to 16 or the equivalent, which have waist or bottom drawstrings that do not meet specified criteria, present substantial product hazards.

I hope someone can help me! I have times where I am at my wits end and I just look at my DS and cry when he is fussy/ colicky. I don't know what to do anymore!
My DS is 8 weeks and from the moment we brought him home he was fussy. At two weeks, he was all out colic and displayed symptoms of GERD. We took him to the pediatrician and he prescribed prevacid at 4 weeks. DS seems a little bit better being that he doesn't spit up as much, hiccup after every feeding, and less arching of the back while at the breast.
His colic never went away and I suspect there is something more than colic. He is ALWAYS uncomfortable when awake. He is always straining to pass gas and poo all throughout the day. He screams in pain and just looks so sad and uncomfortable. I have yet to see him genuinely smile (I see him smile but it's usually when he is straining... don't know if its a true smile) and I have not heard him coo and aw. It breaks my heart. He has one to two explosive, very mucousy stools that are usually at night, close together. Even after he poos, he's still uncomfortable and continues to strain.
So I decided to go on a total elimination diet (TED) because I know breast milk is best and perhaps he is allergic/ food sensitive. At four weeks I cut out all dairy... didn't see a difference. Then soy, gassy veggies, nuts... still didn't see a difference. So I decided to follow Dr. Sears TED and I am only eating brown rice, zucchini, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, pears, rice crispies cereal, rice milk, and turkey. I am on my sixth day of it and his crying has lessened a bit but he is still so gassy with now green, explosive stools. I am thinking too that maybe his crying is lessened because I am more able to cope with it. I have to carry him around till he falls asleep, usually on my chest. I try to sleep when he sleeps but he usually wakes up every hour and strains/ cries and falls back asleep again. I'm sleep deprived too.
So now I'm contemplating that now that he has green, diarrhea stools, he is not getting enough hindmilk. I feed DS with one breast at each feeding usually every 3 hours and I have experienced OS/ OALD. I latch him off when I get the first letdown (he hates this) and put him back on. It was working out fine until now that I am on TED, my milk seems to be more foremilk and is very thin. Could this be due to my limited diet that is low in fat?
I now have been offering the same breast for 4 hours (so he feeds twice) and now I am experiencing engorgement of the other breast.
This sucks! I love my boy so much, I just want him to be okay.
Any suggestions would truly be appreciated! firstname.lastname@example.com

By Sharna Johnson
Judge Joe Parker has denied a request by the district attorney's office to restrict verbal and written
communications between homicide suspect James Smith and potential state witnesses.
Smith is accused of killing 30-year-old Laura McNaughton in December.
After reviewing written arguments from defense attorney Stephen Doerr and 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler, the district court judge ruled he saw no provisions in the statute cited by Chandler to restrict Smith's communications.
Chandler fears communications between Smith and potential state witnesses could compromise testimony in Smith's capital murder trial.
"The purpose of our request was to ensure the administration of justice and protect the integrity of potential testimony," Chandler said Tuesday.
In a decision letter filed Thursday, Parker stated when a defendant is released on bond it is within his power to impose restrictions and conditions of release. Based on Parker's judgment, Smith, who has been held without bond since his Dec. 20 arrest, is not subject to those restrictions as an incarcerated person.
Parker did, however, issue a reminder that "neither victims nor potential witnesses are obliged to speak with the defendant except and unless a subpoena has been issued by the court giving such a directive."
Chandler said New Mexico law clearly places the matter at the discretion of the court, and his office has no plans to appeal the decision.
"We respect the ruling. We intend to keep moving forward with the case," he said.
"The bottom line is that we want to protect the integrity of the testimony, and we don't want anything to compromise that."
McNaughton's body was discovered by hunters on Dec. 10 in a rural Curry County ditch.
Smith's four-week trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 8.
Doerr, who filed a motion last week to withdraw as council for Smith, is continuing in the case until a public defender can be appointed, according to court documents.
Doerr cited in court documents his lack of experience concerning death penalty cases and the inability of his client to pay his fees as reasons for withdrawing.

This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Belize and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have an 80-pound weight limit on baggage. The less you bring, the easier it will be for century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia you to travel to and within Belize. Do not do all your packing in one day. Fill your bags and then return later to reevaluate your decisions. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Belize.
The climate of Belize is hot and humid most of the year, so bring lightweight and sturdy clothing that breathes (cotton or a cotton blend are recommended) and is easy century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia to hand-wash and line-dry. Because it can get cool during the winter months at higher elevations, bring a few clothing items to layer. Lightweight rain gear is helpful during the many rainy days that occur during the wet season.
Because clothes generally have to be washed in cold water with strong detergents, clothes tend to wear out quickly. As many Belizeans iron their clothes, you may want to purchase an iron and ironing board after settling in to your site.
Although you can buy almost anything in Belize, cosmetics, toiletries, clothes, and shoes—many of which are imported from the United States—are expensive.

Man to 911: 'Mean neighbors won't drink with me'
Solo birthday celebration ends in arrest
Published On: Dec 24 2013 03:24:51 PM CST Updated On: Nov 15 2013 04:16:42 PM CST
A man called 911 twice because his neighbors refused to drink with him on his birthday.
James Collins, 56, recently called the Fort Pierce, Fla. police department to report that it was his birthday and his neighbors were being "mean" and refused to help him celebrate, according to TCPalm.com.
Officers responded to the call, advised Collins that he was misusing 911 and then left. Collins called again 30 minutes later with the same complaint. This time, the officers noticed that he smelled heavily of alcohol and appeared intoxicated. Collins was arrested for disorderly intoxication and misuse of 911, UPI.com reported.

There's a lot of evil in the world, but there's a special kind of evil that has been lurking in our midst that few even know of, let alone discuss. It is destroying our lives, slowly and silently. We cannot tolerate this any longer. Something can and must be done. The time is now for us to take a stand.
Seriously, let's take a stand. Stand up, get up, and stretch. The evil that is lurking in plain sight is chairs, which is why today, I declare a war on chairs!
Actually, my new vendetta is less against chairs and more against sitting for prolonged periods of time. I recently started digging into the research and articles linking sitting for long periods with a number of chronic health conditions, including obesity, increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat and abnormal cholesterol level. For example, check out this recent article in the LA Times and this meta-analysis of 18 different studies that appeared in the journal Diabetologia.
One recent study found that adults who spend more than four hours a day sitting while watching television or playing computer games have nearly 50% increased health risk, compared with people who spend less than two hours a day sitting while watching television.
As James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine said in an article in the Los Angeles Times, "the chair is out to kill us."
I certainly can be found guilty of prolonged sitting, which is why I asked the Mayor to bring a proclamation to City Council declaring July 17th "Stand Up for Workplace Wellness Day in the City of Portland." And this Wednesday, July 17, the Mayor and my colleagues on Council will take a stand.
Although this is in good fun, the proclamation on Wednesday will underscore the very serious point that by taking the simple action of standing or stretching throughout the day, we can improve our health and well-being.
Research suggests that spending even a few hours a week at the gym or in other moderate to vigorous activity doesn't offset the risk of sitting for extended periods. That point shouldn't discourage anyone from working out, but it does demonstrate just how evil chairs are.
One way to counter the negative health effects of prolonged sitting is to stand when talking on the phone, eating lunch, or gathering for meetings. Although standing may not always be a viable option, incorporating some form of light, physical activity throughout the day is beneficial.
Down with chairs, and All Rise in honor of Stand Up for Workplace Wellness Day in Council Chambers at 9:30 a.m. this Wednesday, July 17.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Trip Page
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently participated in a "Townterview" event moderated by Al Jazeera in collaboration with the Qatar foundation and Carnegie Mellon University at Education City in Doha, Qatar. Secretary Clinton said:
"...Our relations with people around the world is much broader than any one issue, even an issue as important as the future of the Palestinian people and the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. I think it is a mistake to only look at the United States and our role in working with other countries through any single prism. But I accept the fact that this is a critical issue. It's a critical issue to us.
One of the very first decisions that President Obama made was that the United States would not be on the sidelines, that we would actively participate in trying to bring the parties into negotiations that would lead to a final resolution, and that it would result in a state for the people of Palestine, that they would have a chance to have their own future, fulfill their own dreams and aspirations, and that it would provide security for the people of Israel, that they too would be able to live side-by-side, in a two-state solution.
We have worked over this past year with both parties, as well as other interested countries, to try to bring that about. And I am hopeful that this year we will see the commencement of serious negotiations that will cover every issue that is outstanding. Obviously, those are the ones that have to be decided between the parties; no one can dictate to either the Israelis or the Palestinians what the outcome should be. They must make those decisions themselves. But the United States is very focused on being a facilitator and a help in every way possible to achieve that outcome. And we are working hard on it, we are working hard on it every day. And we hope that we will see the kind of break-through this year that everyone is anticipating."Full Text

Hi, Hillary
I liked "The Townterview Q&As;. Video".
The education part was very good,everyone had
interesting questions on progress,and Iran &
the middle East . I liked the positive views
some of the people had on future events.
I think it's was a great idea of the leaders
of Daha,Qatar to have you come and visit and
answer Questions at the townhall.
I liked their there freedom of expression. :)
Anyways, I think we all are wishing for a peaceful Iran outcome.

I did noticed how you rummaged through your mind, to find another word to replace "siege". That's when you were talking about Gaza-do you remember? You replaced the word with "boycott". Just say the word "siege" for that is what it is, that's my feelings on the matter.
A very fruitful town hall meeting indeed. The young men and women students are really an inspiration. I actually never knew this city of education existed until now. Learn something new everyday!
So, where are you off to next? Must compliment you on your hairstyle Madam Secretary, very good. Not like the wind swept look what you had during the Copenhagen Climate Conference..that was wild.

Ohio Northern University presents Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure'
The Ohio Northern University Freed Center for the Performing Arts presents William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" from Thursday, Feb. 20, to Saturday, Feb. 22, at 7:30 p.m. In addition, there will be two matinee performances: Saturday, Feb. 22, and Sunday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. A post-show discussion with the company will be held after the afternoon performance on Saturday, Feb. 22.
In the play, immorality pervades the streets of Vienna. Temporary governor Angelo sentences a young man to death for fornication in an attempt to reassert the rule of law. But Angelo's own morals come into question when a beautiful, novice nun named Isabella pleads with Angelo for the life of this sinner, her own brother, Claudio. "Measure for Measure" explores the issues of mercy, justice and truth and their relationship to pride and humility: "Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall."
The cast includes Jennifer Barnaba (Isabella), a junior musical theatre and music double major from Spring Valley, Ohio; Mike Burke (The Provost), a senior theatre major from North Canton, Ohio; Kayla Burress (Lucio), a junior musical theatre major from Cincinnati, Ohio; Anne Cape (Marianna), a sophomore musical theatre major from Naples, Fla.; Trevor Dorner (Angelo), a junior musical theatre major from Perrysburg, Ohio; David James Grant (Claudio), a sophomore music theatre major and dance minor from Medina, Ohio; Sarah Keune (Mistress Overdone), a sophomore musical theatre major and arts administration minor from Perrysburg, Ohio; Charles Levine (Elbow), a sophomore musical theatre major from San Jose, Calif.; Sara Ohm (Juliet), a sophomore theatre and language arts education double major from New Albany, Ohio; Zane Sade (The Duke), a senior theatre major from Churubusco, Ind.; Isaac Steinhour (Escalus), a junior international theatre production, musical theatre, and French triple major from Findlay, Ohio; Timothy Swaim (Pompey), a sophomore musical theatre major from Oregon, Ohio; and Chase Zimmerman (Froth/Abhorson), a junior computer science major from Marysville, Ohio.
John Armstrong, assistant professor of theatre at ONU, is directing the production, and Troy Hourie, a scenographer and installation artist, is overseeing the scenic design. Filling out the design team are Paula Unrae, ONU interim costume designer, and Kathleen E. DeVault, ONU lighting designer and production manager.
Tickets for this event are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for ONU faculty and staff, and $5 for children and ONU students. The Freed Center box office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders are accepted with American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover by calling 419-772-1900.

Track 7 isn't that interesting, but other than that this is a pleasure. The band has improved a lot during the years; Mayhem/Dark Funeral worship Mystérion Tés Anomias -> decent
Tiamtü -> this cool thing here.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 10.02.2013 at 15:27Eh... this is such crap. Chuggy, aimless crap. Amazed anyone could rate this above a 6 and the relative praise it seems to have received is beyond me. This is why people can't be trusted to give opinions on anything. Of course it's a bit of a giveaway when the prevailing comments seem to be "it's a grower" which usually means that people have just gotten used to and familiar with it. Flat production and awful vocals too. They clearly forgot to add the bass to the final mix or even bother to add some separation in the levels. This makes Funeral Mist's 'Maranatha' seem like a masterpiece. On the plus side it makes me enjoy Tiamtu more than I used to. It just sounds like silk compared to this.
Written by Mr. Doctor on 10.02.2013 at 20:08
When i read your comments I immediatly searched for a couple fo songs because I kept wondering "can it really be that bad?"
and... I honestly can't believe how someone could find anything "cool" about this shit. Seriously, are people deaf or what because the production is HORRIBLE. Absolutely nothing to like about the sound of the guitars, close to no bass. I usually don't have huge standards for vocals though, but when everything sucks you end up giving more attention to the rest... and they have nothing to add to say the least. I thought you were overreacting but it really is so sterile and the chuga-chuga riffs* sound so artificial it's not even funny.
Oh... and I like Maranatha (although Salvation is way better... God I love that crazy album).
* = nothing wrong with chugga-chugga riffs but they just don't work here... Darkspace's third album should serve as a guideline!
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 10.02.2013 at 20:15Actually in fairness if it's the first youtube song you listened to that's a particularly bad rip, bit as you say you listened to a couple so you've heard the songs how they were intended. But yeah, I don't like this to say the least.
