About the School of Social Work
The mission of the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) program at Loyola University Chicago is to prepare students for entrance into the profession as beginning-level generalists in social work practice.
Founded in 1914 and accredited since 1921, Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work is the oldest Catholic School of Social Work in the United States. It provides undergraduate social work education (B.S.W.) and graduate social work education (M.S.W. and Ph.D.). The curriculum addresses contemporary practice, community and social issues encountered by social workers in their professional work. The NASW Code of Ethics is incorporated as an integral part of the generalist practice approach, reflecting professional social work values, including the Jesuit heritage of emphasis on the worth and dignity of individuals, as well as on social and economic justice.

Major and Program Details
Field Placement
All students who plan to graduate with a B.S.W. degree must fulfill the requirement of a one-year practicum in a community agency designed and approved by the School of Social Work.
The application for admission to the social work practicum courses (330 and 340) must be submitted in writing to the coordinator of field work. A personal interview also is required. Students are not to contact agencies to set up a field placement without approval of the coordinator of field work. Applications and interviews for the field practicum are scheduled during February and March of each year, and all students planning to begin the practicum must successfully complete the interview and the application process.
Students must have satisfactorily completed or anticipate completion of SOWK 200, 201, 301, 305, and 390 prior to the fall of their senior year in order to participate in the application process for the field practicum. Ordinarily, the one-year field is designed as a two-semester (330 and 340), two full days each week, 480 hours a year placement, in which students are required to assume the duties of a professional social worker. The field courses (330 and 340) must each be passed with a grade of "C" or above. If a student receives a grade below "C" in either course, both field courses must be repeated at another field site.
Honors and Awards

The Social-Engineer Toolkit v1.2 "Shakawkaw" Released
I'm proud to announce the release of the Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) v1.2 "Shakawkaw". This version of SET does not include any new attack vectors however does incorporate two new exploits from Metasploit, has some bug fixes, but most importantly introduces a significant step in allowing individuals build and automate additions onto the toolkit. I've also updated the User_Manual.pdf which is located under the readme/ directory and the Metasploit Unleashed course should be updated with the latest content. This new version centralized a lot of the code in a "core" functionality that will allow you to build whatever you want to into SET now. In this version it introduced the core library modules and the ability to add third party modules into SET.

A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by a twisting,
funnel-shaped cloud. It is spawned by a Severe
Thunderstorm, or sometimes as the result of a Hurricane,
and produced when cool air overrides a layer of warm air,
forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. The damage from a tornado
is a result of its high wind velocity and wind-blown
Tornado season is generally March through August, though tornadoes can occur at any time of year. They tend to occur in the afternoons and evenings. Over 80 percent of all tornadoes strike between noon and midnight.
When a tornado threatens, individuals need a safe place
to go and time to get there. Those most at risk
are individuals in manufactured homes or automobiles.
Even with advances in meteorology, tornado warning times may
be short or even impossible. Lives are saved when individuals
receive and understand the warning, know what to do, and know
the safest place to go.
The Fugita-Pearson Tornado Scale measures tornado strengths,
from F-0 (weakest) to F-5:
According to The
Tornado Project, only about 1 percent of all tornadoes
from 1950-1994 were classified as "Violent" (F-4 and F-5).
About 25 percent were classified as "Strong" (F-2 and
F-3). The great majority, about 74 percent, were "Weak"
(F-0 and F-1).
However, The
Tornado Project reports that while "Violent" tornadoes
occur less frequently, they cause a very high percentage of
tornado-related deaths. "Violent" (F-4 and F-5) tornadoes
caused 67 percent of tornado-related deaths from 1950-1994.
"Strong" (F-2 and F-3) tornadoes caused 29 percent.
"Weak" (F-0 and F-1) tornadoes caused only 4 percent.

6F35 Six Speed Aotomatic Transmission. Coasting to a stop from around 50 MPH when you get to approx 42 MPH you feel the transmission downshift like you are driving a stick shift. Tack goes up car jerks and slows. Is this suppose to happen on a automatic transmission? I don't think so, I think Ford has a problem. Ford says nothing is wrong.
I also have a 2010 fusion 4 cylinder, 6 speed auto, with 600 miles. If I let the car sit for several days the transmission slips in 3rd and 4th like I am holding a clutch in and then revs up and goes into gear. It does fine after I drive a few miles. Ford checked it out and said there was nothing wrong. Let me know if you get any resolution concerning this.
I have the same issue, mainly going from 2nd to 3rd, but occasionally from 4th to 5th as well. The shortest rest time has been 24 hours, but most of the time it's been after the weekend. Works fine after a couple of accellerations. I'm up to just over 1200 miles and it's still doing it. Haven't had a chance to bring it in since they probably wouldn't be able to recreate the issue without having to let it sit for one to two days. I have this issue posted on another forum and hope to hear something about it soon. I'll post back here if I get anything back.
I just recently purchased a 2010 ford fusion and had the same type of problems with the transmission. felt like it was slipping from 2-3 gear and hit hard sometimes when putting in reverse. and finally the other day put in drive and it took about 25 seconds to engage. took to dealer and they said tranny is shot. it is in shop now getting replaced. only 7,000 miles not looking too promising
My 2010 Fusion is at the Dealership now for the same issue, I will be sure to let ya'll know what they say about it
I have the same problem with my 2010 Ford Fusion. I had it in the shop a little over a month ago. They had to replace a part in the transmission. It took them almost 2 weeks because they couldn't get the part from Ford. I thought it was all fixed so imagine my surprise when it starts acting crazy again tonight. It wouldn't shift out of first gear and the RPM's just kept going up. We shut it off for about 1/2 hr and when we started it again, it drove fine. Needless to say, it's going back to the dealership in the morning and I am not a happy camper.
Yep!! Mine has been at the dealer for a week now and they are telling me that the part is still a week out! I think this is something that should be brought to others attention that is considering buying a 2010 Fusion! You would think with Ford knowing that this is an issue, they would have the parts on hand at all dealerships. Please let me know what the problem was the 2nd time (per the last post) if you can so I can get it resolved before it leaves the dealer.
Ummm now I don't know what to do lol... I'm buying a car this week and yeah Fusion was probably at the top of my list. I was extremely iffy about going American again just because of past experiences, over and over I say no but then I find something like this that I like, buy it, then it just goes downhill from there. I was looking at the top of the line V6, its the blue 2tone leather that got me. Now I really don't know what to do. This completely shot down everything that took me weeks to decide. I definitely must follow up on this. Well wish me luck if I go for it lol..
My girlfriend's 2010 Ford Fusion with a 6-speed trans seems to be slipping out of gear when going up steep grades. Last night we were doing 70mph up a hill and it seemed to go from 6th to 3rd or 4th, red linning the engine...not fun. We had to pull over and turn the car off...not safe with semi trucks flying past us. Earlier she took it into the dealer and someone there said there was a batch of Fusions that had bad transmissions but instead of replacing the trans they updated some software on it and said that should fix it...we're taking it back to the dealership tomorrow, the problem is we're on a road trip and don't have the luxury of time for it to sit in a shop.
we put 8,000 very easy miles on a 2010 fusion. very peppy, but tranny went out.we had to manually downshift to 3 or 4 and only go about 35-45 mph because tranny wouldnt engage a new gear with each attemped shift either up or down. the problem started at about 9,000 miles by slipping between gears pulling onto the interstate after a pee break, thed got a lot worse in the next few hundred miles. it was a rental and the rental place told us to hafe "firestone" check out to see if there was a problem. couldnt get in due to snow storms and tires being there business. a few hundred miles and the car wasnt drivable.the next fusion, a stripped down version with a small engine and different tranny (D & L ore only choices rather than the slap stik) It now is slipping between 2-3 started doing it right off the rental lot.that's two for two. seems like ford has a problem.
we're having such a hard time with our brand new 2010 ford fusion since we drove it off the lot. We took it in 3 times and on the 3rd time a different dealership told us our transmission was 'severly damaged.' It had strong jerks when shifting gears not only in drive but also reverse. They have had the car for a week and it will be at least three weeks by the time we get it back. They said the part they are waiting for hasn't been made yet by the company. In the mean time we have to pay for the rental car, they said they would only pay $30 a day but it's more than $30 a day to rent a car. We've had the car less than 7months and it has been such a pain. The people on here seem to have had more than one transmission replaced which tells me, we have more work cu tout for us. This is so messed up. Ford... you have done us wrong!
Purchased 2010 Fusion for the gas mileage in order to commute to new job requiringa 140 roundtrip every day. At 12000 miles the transmission started to clunk.Took in to dealer and was told it was a seal and it had slowly leaked transmission fluid, but there was no damage. Trouble started immediately after pickup andfelt like it wouldn't shift into second and third even though the engine wasreving up. They had the car for 10 day this second time. Said somethingelse was wrong this time and waited for parts. Am not a happy camper. Haven'tdriven it yet. Will continue to monitor this post.
Yup - I noticed this weekend that when it first began to shift from 2nd into 3rd, it was reving up before shifting, and then again from 3rd into 4th. I thought since it was a cold morning and I didn't let the car warm up, maybe that was causing it. But it happened again the next day and again today. Regardless, I've only had the car for 6 months and have 10,000 miles on it. Once I found other people have these same issues, I have now made an appt with my dealer, who says they have new software to install to correct the problem. We'll see.......
ready for a story...i have a 2010 fusion 8times now in the shop i got it in june of 09..moonroof leaks from the seal watch as you go thorw the car wash or a heavy rain..finally after 6times in shop thay fixed it results that removed the fusion moonroof and rails put a ford flex seal and glass in no more leaks now ive been having the same problems as you guys seens i got the car it has been shifting funny from 2-3 gears ive taken it in and thay tell me no problems found well i took it back yesterday and the tech tells me its a programming issue so thay reprogrammed car "buy the way there is a recall on 2010 fusion and milan cars to have the pcm reprogrammed but fords are not issue them and letting people no only reason i no is service tech showed me paper with the code from fords"" today is 3-16-2010 i took car back again after reprogrammed told service tech it seems worse seens the reprogram and then tells me car has to learn the way you drive wtf i guess i got stupid wrote on my face...here is a number to ford headquarters in dearborn michigan this guys name is tom may 313-805-3439. he works under the vice prez of fords with problem sloving and he does his job..i called and called i got a number to a vice prez of fords at dearborn headquarters thay sent him to my house next day..call tom may to slove these problems 313-805-3439 and the vp number is 313-845-5831 only way we gonna get are cars fixed with out the run around..email firstname.lastname@example.com
How did this turn out? MY car is in the shop for the same thing and they want to rebuild my transmission and I told them I wanted a new one; I bought a new car not a used one with a rebuilt trans. My dealer told me to contact corp and corp took my info and claim and told me to contact the dealer. They want to do a Cost Comparison. What about the cost comparison for me who loses money on the resale b/c the car has a new/rebuilt trans. ITS ALL BS. Did anyone get anything out of this, like an extended warranty or anything. I told the Corp that the only thing I see happening is A)a new Trans or B) a new car! Ill keep you guys posted. I go back after work.

I enjoyed the game.....could care less who won. It was fun to watch.
My father once told me when I was a kid- don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.......The Seahawks had a piece of the ball too
What constitutes a simultaneous catch? The Sub ref stomping has to stop......its soooooooooooooo booooooooooring........how quickly how we forget how
biased and bad the "real Refs" were.........I like the loungerie guys........they dont call a gazillion holding calls off the ball
It almost makes you want to hear about Joe Paterno 24 hours a day for 5 months again
I guess so, NFL reviewed and made it final.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
I actually thought that it was reasonable to call it a simultaneous catch. At the point where Tate got both feet on the ground, he had both hands on the ball just as securely as Jennings...when they both finally hit the ground, Jennings twisted to try to wring the ball away from Tate, and if Tate did not have a good grasp on the ball, he would have lost contact with the ball completely at that point. Questionable? Maybe...but if that was the call on the field, the replay did not show enough to overturn it.
That said, they missed the blatant PI on Tate before they all jumped...the real refs probably would have called it an interception simply to make the outcome of the game correct (since the PI was not reviewable)...
WATCH AGAIN. read the rule. that was totally not simultaneous since TAINT had no initial control. case closed.
c'mon man since when does catching an arm count as possession? INTERCEPTION.

As if there weren't enough set-top boxes on the market already, it appears as if Intel has decided to take a shot at this already saturated (and generally unsuccessful) market.
Intel, as you may know, earns its bread and butter almost entirely from the research, design, and production of some of the finest processors on both the consumer and enterprise markets. So when Intel announces they're getting involved with internet television, it's quite a departure, to say the least. Intel's Vice President, Eric Huggers, publicly announced that the company has been in negotiations with major content companies and will introduce a set-top box and internet television platform before the end of 2013, and the big question on everyone's mind is how will Intel fare where so many have failed?
"Not very well," said SiliconANGLE Founding Editor Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins, "People aren't en-mass turning to set-top boxes that aren't given to them by their cable companies."
So if the internet TV set-top boxes aren't really in demand, what does this mean for internet television as a whole? What are companies like Intel and Cisco seeing that keeps these companies perpetually trying time and again to corner the internet television market?
As Hopkins commented, "internet TV is a lot more a-la carte," a feature that has yet to have been fully employed, but would likely draw a massive customer base. Hopkins also added, "the playing field is considerably more level," discussing the cost of supplying quality content through a less conventional means. So there's no question the internet allows for a wider range of content, but until customers are actually able to select premium channels a la carte, it appears the Intel set-top box may run the same course many before it have.
The harsh reality is, though this Intel box is supposed to come packed with features such as "catch-up" television or video on-demand, and will (in all likelihood) be a fantastic device that delivers excellent television, there's nothing the Intel Media Group is going to offer that hasn't already been in most people's living rooms for the past 10 years. Just as Hopkins went on to say, "They haven't announced anything in this box that says this is what's going to make me ditch my loyalty…there's nothing compelling there yet."
Don't get us wrong, as Hopkins said, "I love it when big companies take a risk," and generally speaking, we here at SiliconANGLE love the idea of Google or Intel TV, but until someone, somewhere offers television on an a la carte basis, you will likely not see anyone jump on board the internet television bandwagon.
Having said that, we are looking to the future on this matter, and there are a small handful of companies that could slide right into the market if they play their cards right. As Hopkins put it, "you've gotta' have a trojan horse," and currently the trojan horses sitting in a lot of living rooms belong to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. We've seen it a bit already with the embracing of Netflix and Hulu on these devices. And we've already seen the day where a user can stream ESPN on their XBOX, so it is almost certain you will finally see a legitimate contender in the internet TV set-top box business.

Municipal waterworks can handle normal, or slightly above normal, water flow. However, sewers can back up following heavy precipitation, melting snow, a sudden thaw, a rise in the water table, or other unexpected weather conditions.
Fortunately, you can minimize the risk to your house or apartment by following these loss prevention tips:
A backwater valve that complies with your municipality's standards and bylaws will prevent sewage from backing up into your basement. The valve closes automatically if the sewer backs up.
Proper care of your plumbing system will significantly reduce the risk of sewer backup.

text: Ok, so I've got the new truck, and I love it. But of course, like any other truck I'm compiling my list of things I want to do to upgrade it. One of the things on my list is to add a navigation system. From what I have read, the existing radio in my 08 Silverado LT can be switched out with an after market double DIN system so that I can have a flush in dash system. So, for those of you that have nav, did you go with OEM or after market? Why and why not? What did you put in, and what do you like/not like about it? Thanks!

It's luxury camping they said. Proper beds and furniture and showers they said.
I didn't like camping before, glam or no glam, and sleeping overnight in what is essentially a desert is a new and specific level of hell for me.
This is the dawn, over Spitzkoppe, Namibia. It ever so slightly made up for the camping.

Attaining and Maintaining Wellness in OCD
- Are you taking one of the following medications for obsessive-compulsive disorder?
- Clomipramine (Anafranil)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Citalopram (Celexa)
- Escitalopram (Lexapro)
- Are you still having symptoms that bother you?
- Are you interested in receiving no-cost psychotherapy that can improve your OCD symptoms?
- Are you interested in learning if you still need medication after significant improvement with EX/RP therapy?
The Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety is offering treatment for people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and are currently taking one of the above medications for their OCD but still have unwanted symptoms.
Eligible participants remain on a stable dose of their OCD medication in the first part of the study, and will receive cognitive behavioral therapy consisting of Exposure and Ritual Prevention (EX/RP) twice a week for up to 12 weeks as additional treatment. Participants who become well after the EX/RP will either continue their medication or begin to taper off their medication and have it gradually replaced with a placebo (sugar pill). All patients will be carefully monitored throughout the second part of the study, which lasts 24 weeks. The goal of the study is to understand whether patients with OCD on Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SRIs) who receive EX/RP can discontinue their medication if they first do well with EX/RP. .
No one who has not become well after 12 weeks of EX/RP will discontinue their medication. Individuals who do not improve will be referred elsewhere to receive appropriate clinical treatment.
This study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, is a collaboration between Dr. Edna Foa from the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Blair Simpson from Columbia University-New York State Psychiatric Institute. Men and women ages 18-75 with OCD who are currently taking an SRI medication (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro or Anafranil) and who are not taking other psychotropic medications at the same time may be eligible to participate in this study. There is no cost for the cognitive-behavioral therapy.
For more information visit our website www.ocdtreatmentstudy.com. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety in Philadelphia at 215-746-3327.
If you are located in New York and are interested in participating, please contact Stephanie Chen at 646-774-8062 or email@example.com.

text: Does anyone have experience with Chaparrel single action revolvers and winchester replica rifles? I found a website in Canada called marstar.com and they sell the revolver for $379 and the rifles for $850 and you get a 10% discount if you buy them both at the same time. This seems like a really good deal for cowboy action shooters if these are quality guns. I'm interested but i hate buyers remorse!!! thanks

I finally got the news I wanted to hear about being able to sell my honey at a local farmers market in a well off neighborhood. The Store originally called of the farmers market but thankfully changed their mind and I desperately need the convenient spot that is right on my way to work so I can sit there for a couple hours a few days a week.
I want to be able to pull up in my crew cab with a topper, set up shop in 10 minutes, and close down in ten minutes. I know there are easy pop up tents and all but all I think I need is a fold up table with a display pyramid, several size and styles of jars, and some sort of shade. That said I would really, really appreciate it if the pros here could give me some pointers on how to draw em in, and sell honey like its going out of style.
I have heard a small ob hive works well. But how do I draw them in? Everyone is in a hurry these days to get in and out of the stores asap. I will obviously need some kind of eye candy to get them interested.

Hi! first of all I really hope I posted this in the right spot, I have a two year old PJM Rhododendron that has suffered minimal early spring frost a few weeks ago but has gone on to flower. Most of the flowering has come in during the past 5 days but I've noticed the flowers are starting to fall off already, is this normal or should this Rhododendron be keeping the purple flowers for a while still? The only info I can find is that it flowers in April, so it's right on time, I just thought it would keep them for more than a week?

Faith Column: What's the point?
Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Pequot Lakes
I have a great dog, Maddie. And, she's very smart. Maddie understands many words, and I know that she does because she responds differently to different words. If I ask Maddie if she wants to play with the puppies, she wags her tail and dances around me. If I tell her I'm going to work, she hides because she knows it's crate time. Maddie is a smart one.
But, one thing Maddie doesn't understand is the purpose of the pointing finger. Walking along the lake, I tell Maddie to sit. Then I point to the ducks on the lake and say, "Maddie, look at those ducks!" And what does she do? She looks at my finger! She can't see past the pointing finger. No matter how hard I try to help her see beyond my finger to the object of my pointing, she just does not get it.
Aren't we Christians sometimes like Maddie? Look at all that God points us to, and yet, at times we can't see past the pointing finger. Our baptism is a life begun, and yet we think our baptism is a completion, a fulfillment of our relationship with God.
Our Sunday worship is a pointing to a God who desires a relationship with us, with promises kept. And, at time, we see our worship as an hour spent on Sundays that frees us up for personal time the rest of the day. We don't see that our dismissal from worship is the beginning of a living-out of our baptismal vocation. The sending part of worship is the longest part of worship, lasting until we gather together at the next service. We don't get the point.
We hear at baptism that the Holy Spirit comes into our lives; comes into our very selves. We hear that the Holy Spirit is the very power of God; the power that enables us to believe in Jesus Christ, and to live into that belief. The Holy Spirit is the person of God who prods us; enables us; transforms us; encourages us; surprises us; makes us new.
And yet, we stay the same. We look at the pointing finger of baptism, worship, God's Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and we don't see past the pointing finger.
We read and hear God's Holy Word and sense that the story is important. But, we don't see past the pointing finger to the object of God's story. And that object is: This story is ours. Those people are us. God's promises are for them and for us. God's salvation plan is one into which we are adopted. We are people of the book!
Living like we are loved, living like we are forgiven, living like we are saved — that's the point. Yet, we look at the finger and not at the object to which it points.
Ultimately, that object is US. The object of God's worship, baptism, Holy Word and Son, Jesus, is US. For God, we are the object to which all of that points. God requires of us our time, talent, money, obedience and service. God requires of us our very lives. Why? For God's sake?
Remember, we don't have a needy God. We are the needy ones. The baptism, the Holy Word, the worship, the service to our Lord and his precious Son, Jesus, are all for our sake. What God does, he does for our sake. That's the point. We are the point. Living like that's true is our response to a God who could not imagine a world without loving us into being. Thanks be to God.

With as many dead outs around here i hear about, some from starvation and cold. maybe it offers possibilities of survival!
Very nice job! The quality shows a lot of potential for exerimentation with other items. The bees will appreciate it with a good harvest, I bet. Take care and have fun

Hillary demands settlement closure in Israel, but not freedom in Iran
posted at 10:55 am on June 18, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Under any other circumstances, this press conference with Hillary Clinton and Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman would be a national embarrassment. In the Obama administration, it's just business as usual. While Hillary demanded an end to settlement expansion in the presser and gave a not-so-subtle scolding to Lieberman and by extension Benjamin Netanyahu, the most she could bring herself to say about Iran was that the US wanted to work with them, and that free speech is a good thing.
The Financial Times called it "one of the most tense encounters" of the last several years between Israel and the US, and for good reason:
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, clashed face to face with her Israeli counterpart on Wednesday as the two countries remained at loggerheads over the expansion of settlements in occupied territory.
In what appeared one of the most tense encounters between the sides for several years, Mrs Clinton and Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's foreign minister, disagreed on both the US call for a complete freeze on settlement growth and Israel's contention that the administration of George W. Bush, the former president, had signalled that some expansion was permissible.
"We cannot accept this vision about absolutely, completely freezing all settlements," Mr Lieberman said.
In response, Mrs Clinton underlined the US call for a "stop to the settlements", a move she described as "an important and essential part of pursuing the efforts leading to a comprehensive peace agreement".
The US seems a bit lost in this hyperfocus on settlements. Settlements are not the main cause of the conflict; they are an issue to be handled in final negotiations, like Jerusalem and borders, once both sides accept the other and have security measures in place to stop attacks. Rudely demanding in a press conference that Israel unilaterally concede on settlements without any concessions at all from the Palestinians or other Arab states is not only amateurish diplomacy, it's just flat-out useless. Israel dismantled the settlements in Gaza and withdrew, and that not only failed to improve the situation, it created a terrorist state of Hamastan in Gaza, which has launched attacks almost non-stop against Israel ever since. Does the Obama administration read the newspapers at all?
While Hillary scolds our democratic ally, she soothes the repressive mullahcracy that is threatened by an uprising of its own people, demanding real democracy for the first time in decades. The best she can offer for the Iranian protestors is a sop to free speech and an acknowledgment that ballots should be counted fairly.

Tell me what is up with you and ya boy Chris? Y'all both are two good looking youngstes with louds of talent yet you allow this European to just cause you to do anything to put money in your pocket. Fine out who you are and what this country is doing to Afrikan people here, yes that includes you! Find out what they are using to do it with. We are not a free people by no means yet they have you (an others) parading around, tattooing yourself up and just basting in you. Going over to Africa is fine but what did you do for the people over there? Did you leave money to make sure they really get fed, did you get some water wells drilled? What did you do? I thank you if you did anything other than entertain a hungry people.

Kristen is number 1 in this category. Katie Holmes number two and the girl with the black skirt number three. Sexy is leaving something to the imagination. Letting it all hang out is called trashy or porn. Take your pick. Once the mystery is gone, its time to move on. Why do you think noone lasts in Hollywood, no mystique!

Here's how we make our luscious Tiramisù with about a third of the fat and half the calories of most versions: we layer coffee-and-brandy-soaked ladyfingers with an ultra-light egg-white custard combined with rich mascarpone cheese and lower-fat Neufchâtel cheese. This healthier version of the triflelike dessert would pass muster in any Italian café.
Nutrition Profile:

Serves 12
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 300 min.
Step 1
If ladyfingers are soft, toast them in a 350°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Stir water, 3 tablespoons brandy and coffee granules in a small bowl until the granules are dissolved. Brush over the flat side of the ladyfingers.
Step 2
Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Combine reconstituted egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heatproof mixing bowl that will fit over the saucepan. Set the bowl over the simmering water and beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 4 to 5 minutes. Increase speed to high and continue beating over the heat for about 3 minutes more. (The mixture should form a ribbon trail.) Remove the bowl from the heat and beat until cool and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Beat mascarpone and cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Add about 1 cup of the beaten whites and the remaining 1 tablespoon brandy; beat until smooth, scraping down the sides. Fold in the remaining whites.
Step 4
Line the bottom and sides of a 3-quart trifle bowl or soufflé dish with ladyfingers, flat sides toward the center. Spoon in one-fourth of the filling and top with a layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with two more layers of filling and ladyfingers, arranging the fourth layer of ladyfingers decoratively over the top, trimming to fit if necessary. Top with the remaining filling. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
Step 5
Before serving, sprinkle the tiramisù with chocolate shavings and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Grass verges stream past as we snatch another gear, 12 mighty cylinders howling in our ears as rubber grabs tarmac and we swing round another bend, the mighty bonnet thrusting for the horizon, down two, motor snapping and popping on the overrun as we skitter across tarmac bumps that threaten to tip us into the canal then into the next bend.
No, it's not James Bond at his best - it's Aston Martin's best, the new V12 Vanquish strutting its stiffer, more powerful stuff. And make no mistake, this car's lacquered carbon fibre skin's a thing of beauty that promises the timeless elegance of Bond's DB5, a car we admired that morning at the brand's British home at Newport Pagnell where it headed after Skyfall filming for a post-thrash check-up, as it has every two or three weeks during production.
The new-car factory may have moved to Gaydon, but the classics return to the company's heart from 1955 to 2007, the premises that built the DB5 and now fettles older Astons.
Here we admire the polished carbon fibre that clads the bonded aluminium monocoque underpinning the Vanquish, and check out current Astons up on hoists for servicing. There's a dirt-speckled One-77 fresh from a race at Spa, its track pack including a data-logging system with cameras front, rear, and on the driver. The 559kW car ran on regular tyres as the extra grip from slicks would need a suspension change, and the ABS and traction systems are set at the road parameters they're developed for. A Norwegian Vanquish S owner likes the Aston Martin Works stamp in his service book and there's a DB9 with more
Aston Martin's base at Newport Pagnell, and a DB5, one of the classic models. The new-car factory has moved to Gaydon.
Even the car's mineral oils are as close to original as possible.than 161,000km on the dial - some owners really do use their cars every day.
Around the corner carbon fibre's cracked and torn on a crash-damaged car with a smashed windscreen that went through a motorway barrier, but with some staff here since this car was built, the premises can work on anything - it's even turned coupes into estates - and electronically heated and controlled booths are poised to go. A DB6 MkII's fully restored body sits primed and perfect, its colour about to be applied while mechanics under a light booth turned up to three-times daylight power check for finish faults - this is clearly no ordinary crash repair shop.
Walking between buildings we pass diggers and scaffolding - the premises is being restored and extended for its new role - and go back in time to the heritage area, in a red brick building as old as many of the cars it houses.
There's a 2004 DB7 parked next to a mouth-watering 1958 DB4 that's just had a full restoration. Our guide says some owners seek only mechanical renovation that leaves the patina on paint and leather, while others prefer an as-new car - like the blue DB5 with a just-completed full body-off restoration for a Japanese customer who bought it as a wreck and has never driven it.
The "restoration book" was upholstered in cream-piped navy leather to match seats that look as new as the day it first rolled out of here. Even the car's mineral oils are as close to original as possible - "the only thing we can't get is leaded fuel and we fit different valve seats and timing to accommodate that".
We pass the DB6 once owned by Paul McCartney and learn a restoration takes 2000 hours over 12 to 18 months, using the original patterns and if needed, the original Vanquish jigs.
Crossing to the metal shop tattooed arms run a file over a DB2 front wing, "we made new rear wings. Even the car's mineral oils are as close to original as possible for it, restored the hood and powder coated the chassis".
Next to it, sheets of aluminium are being rolled and welded over a form to build a new front for a DB6 - it's 5.30pm but these chaps are enthusiasts, not clock-watchers. "This DB4 we took the paint off and found poor repair work so we'll cut sections out and manufacture brand new wings."
Admiring a DB3S we're told there are no drawings for some cars - staff take the original apart to replicate it.
Amid the crowded space a Cygnet's awaiting post-skirmish work and everywhere you look there's some automotive delight - the floor awash with swarf and oil smears.
Soon these guys will move into a new building as this one becomes the heritage showroom.
All this history underlines Aston's philosophy of vertical and horizontal architecture, a philosophy that eases R&D costs as the models evolve by referencing earlier cars then taking them a step further, a process which ensures that the 1963 DB5 is as clearly an Aston Martin as today's Vanquish - both desirable and luxurious performance GTs, the aspirational cars of their era.

How green is the US ambassador to Australia's new electric car? So green it was plugged into a garden bed.
Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich took receipt of Australia's first electric car, the American-made Holden Volt, at a ceremony at the US Embassy in Canberra last week. The silver car will join the embassy's fleet.
The ambassador, who doesn't drive in Canberra but is chauffeured around in an armoured BMW, nicknamed the electric car Elvis.
"I thought, it's cool and even though it's a fun, sexy car there's a niceness to it," Mr Bleich said.
Unlike the king of rock and roll, the car is silent.
GM Holden chairman Mike Devereux handed over the keys to Mr Bleich, who took it for a brief spin on the driveway outside his official residence, while staff watched anxiously.
A minder had to unplug the car from its electric charger cord which led into a garden bed and didn't actually connect to a power source because no outdoor sockets were available.
Mr Bleich waxed lyrical about the car's fuel efficiency and how much fun it was to drive: "You put your foot on the gas and it feels like you're taking off in an aeroplane. It's joy without sin."
The model is manufactured in Detroit and sold as a Chevrolet. It runs on 200kg of batteries that can power the car for 87 kilometres.
The electricity cost of running the car fully charged is $2.50 and it takes six to 10 hours to recharge the batteries. There's a petrol engine back-up with the capability of travelling 600km.
Mr Bleich said President Barack Obama was committed to sustainability and wanted to put a million electric cars on US roads in his second term of in office.
Mr Devereux said the Volt was not about sales targets but showing what "General Motors can do when it really puts its mind to it".
He said at this point there were no plans to produce the cars in Australia.
In November 40 Volts were sold in Australia, where it retails for $59,000. In New Zealand, the Volt sells for $85,000.

I'm a little bit shy, but open up more when the ice is broken. I love making people laugh, listening to their concerns, being a friend, and giving big hugs. I am both a lover and a fighter; I care deeply about my friends and family, and I can be a fierce surviver during times of strife. I have a passion for creative writing, which I try to do every day, but people often say that my humorous prose narratives based on real life are my best works. I read whenever I can, and will devour a book whole when I find a really captivating one. Music is another favorite past time; I love singing, playing guitar and mandolin, and writing my own song lyrics. Listening to music is also something I enjoy -- my favorite bands and musicians are the Beatles, Abney Park, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Omnia, Faun, and pretty much anything in the Pagan/Celtic genre, easy listening, old jazz and swing, oldies, new age, and classical. I like to dress for comfort rather than style, but I try to look and feel my best by wearing styles that flatter me. People say I look good in green, which is also my favorite color, next to purple. I'm a mixed race; my father is white while my mother is black. I love them both and consider family important as do they. I believe they raised me right. I am a spiritual person, but not religious. Still, I pray to my revered deities, as often as possible, to protect and guard my friends and family from anything unhappy that may cross their path(s). I believe in equality and fairness. And spiritual and emotional balance. I am a very open-minded person when it comes to embracing different faiths and tastes. I am quite liberal in my own right, but I try to stay away from arguing politics because I know this causes stress and dis-ease within a group. I am loyal and steadfast, brave and determined, and I try my best to make people smile. Peace to all.

text: If there was one thing I could go a lifetime without seeing, it is a photo of Justin Bieber mooning the world. I'm actually surprised it has taken him this long to show his butt and that it didn't happen with those diaper like pants he wears halfway to his knees in hopes that people will think he is cool. With his popularity fading though and a need to find someone older than 15 who thinks he is attractive he decided to show off his pasty butt for a few minutes on Instagram and then realized that the parents of the 12 year olds who follow him would probably not appreciate it so he took it down – after the world had already saved it, looked at it and then decided it never wanted to see it again. Just imagine if I had not blurred it for your protection.

If you missed last Friday's discussion on "microfame," or if you've ever felt that strange compulsion to get the hell off Facebook, listen up. In a lecture titled "Hi Haters!" and hosted by the USM Philosophy Symposium, Rob Horning, sociologist and editor of the culture magazine The New Inquiry, explained several useful and alarming ways of examining how the Internet is changing us.
Microfame, as Horning posited, is a much different phenomenon than gave birth to Andy Warhol's maxim that everyone will experience 15 minutes of fame. In fact, it makes it seem quaint by comparison. Instead, Horning defined microfame as "a sort of ongoing state of being, a structure of feeling for coping with a mandatory requirement to construct identity online . . . which affects our everyday life." For many of us, it's a fundamental quality of day-to-day existence.
Apropos for a lecture about the Internet, Horning led off with a pop-culture reference. The curious case of Britney Spears, who famously shaved her head in 2007 in defiance (she claimed) of the near-incessant attention she was getting, gave a particularly good illustration for the many valences of celebrity he would discuss. "Whenever a celebrity flips out because of overexposure," Horning said, "it's usually served up to the public as a sort of schadenfreude. The reassuring lesson is that we're supposed to enjoy the fact that too much fame will cause these other people to disintegrate. Unlike Britney, we don't need constant attention. We don't depend on the media to reflect back on us about what our lives are all about." While Spears is stuck in an endless cycle of producing her own complicated image of herself — even seemingly against her own wishes — we can rest assured knowing that our lives are lived out in private.
Those were the days! In the new era of social media, Horning said, "Britney is less an exception than an extreme depiction of what social media and surveillance are bringing to everyone." In other words, while we aren't about to throw a tabloid-worthy fit, we might be hooking ourselves into the same paranoiac feedback loop of production and attention within our own communities.
If social media has radicalized Warhol's definition of fame, it's performed a similar trick with surveillance. In real life, the most popular surveillance model has long been the panopticon, where a subject watched from above (or believing herself to be) regulates her behavior in fear of punishment. Social media hasn't changed that definition as much as given it new dimensions — now, surveillance doesn't occur only top-down but in every direction. The Internet has given us "sousveillance," the process of being watched from below — which might describe the public policing of politicians or corporations (or, for that matter, pop stars) — but social media is most responsible for another form, in which participation in society involves watching others. It's this "participatory surveillance," or "the many observing the many," that Horning alleges fundamentally modifies our identities, leading us to operate our online selves like small businesses ("interiority is like a factory, social media the showroom floor"), read news articles while looking for shareable pull-quotes (the "Facebook eye"), and generate marketing data about ourselves and our friends with every click.
While Horning didn't exactly make the case that microfame is some insidious conspiratorial force that threatens to shatter our psychological core, the fact that social media is rapidly changing our notions of society and identity is indisputable, and the sickly sweet mainstream explanation — that it makes sharing between friends easier — doesn't begin to cover it. We're in pretty deep, and if we've learned anything from Britney, it'll take a lot more than an electric razor to opt out.

Pretty solid. I like the hybrid a little better than the fairway.
Good distance and accuracy, adjustability is a bonus.
Got this club for Christmas. Played with it yesterday after hitting balls a few times. I had it set at 3+ after experimenting on the range, and the more I hit it, the more I looked forward to the next opportunity. Off the tee (teed up maybe 1/2 an inch) on several holes where a driver was too long, it was very controllable and had a very solid, very 'live' feel. Off the fairway, it produced my shot of the day over bunkers onto a par 5 on my second shot. Made my day. Now cheaper than when I bought it, it's an unbelievable bargain for a great club.
Bought the amp cell 5-7 and it was the only fairway I carried, usually at 17 degrees. Found it so easy to hit I also bought a bio cell 3-4. Now I adjust them from 15-20 degrees and am back to carrying two, These are very easy to get in the air, and the adjustability is a great plus. I find they fade a bit when not in the draw settings.
