- A buildup of fluid in the alveoli (air spaces) in the lungs. This keeps oxygen from getting into the blood. Pulmonary edema is usually caused by heart problems, but it can also be caused by high blood pressure, pneumonia, certain toxins and medicines, or living at a high altitude. Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, and trouble exercising.

A woman was charged £2,600 for a Neil Diamond album after downloading the singer's 'Best Of' collection while on holiday in South Africa.
Katie Bryan, a maths teacher from Lighthorne, South Warwickshire, downloaded the £8.99 album unaware of the incurred roaming charges from mobile phone company Orange.
Bryan told Contactmusic: "It was a lunchtime get-together with my boyfriend's family at a house where we were staying near the Kruger National Park. I'd had a bit of wine... but not too much. People were playing music through their iPads or on phones through an iPod dock. Someone had put on the Traveling Wilburys but I just fancied hearing some Neil Diamond. I don't know why. He's more my boyfriend's musical taste and I'm more of a James Blunt fan."

Food: Freezing Agent; Liquid Nitrogen Saves Full Flavor Of Foods With High Water Content
DROP an orange and the result is generally a bruise. However, when an employe of the Air Reduction Company dropped one, the result was a potential new flavoring agent. The orange was frozen at the time of its fall and it shattered into thousands of tiny juice cells. The cell walls remained unbroken, retaining full flavor and making the crystals ideal as flavoring agents.

Thanks, glad you like it.
The cards should update every day. I'd love to make it happen more often, but from the experience I gathered with my Uncharted 2 cards, when you have over 10,000 cards (I might be getting ahead of myself but better safe than sorry) to reset at the same time, the server tends to suffer a bit (well, the server goes out for about 10 minutes - not so great). Therefore, you must regenerate your card to hard-reset it.
Regenerating my card doesn't seem to hard-reset and reflect my new stats, although the stats on my Uc3 stats page have already been updated for a while.

Paleoartist Tyler Keillor has long specialized in sculpting realistic clay dinosaur heads for museums and universities, but for his next project — an exacting replica of a full Dryptosaurs built entirely as a 3-D digital object — Kiellor needed a little help from the crowd. He set up a modest Kickstarter campaign to help buy the tools needed to craft his dinosaur digitally, offering various 12-inch dinosaur models he's designed as rewards. The $6,000 goal being met on Monday (and since doubled), Keillor is now setting up to start building a virtual model of this T-Rex cousin.
It's Keillor's first shot at digital art. He'll use the professional 3-D sculpting program ZBrush to craft his model, then work with the 2-D/3-D production house Acme Designs, Inc to print out the initial small-scale version for his backers. (An aside: Only the first will be 3-D printed; to save on cost, Keillor will use it to make a mold and cast exact replicas for his backers — evidence of injection molding's continued advantage over 3-D printing as an efficient means of mass production.)
But it's not just 12-inch figurines Keillor is after, nor the life-size heads (including Dryptosaurus) he's created before. It's a virtual workshop of unlimited size.
"What digital will allow me to do is to digitally sculpt an entire body of a dinosaur," he says. "And it could be a huge dinosaur, it could be a hundred-foot-long creature, and I can create that within digital space."
The life-size Dryptosaurus that he'll make with the additional Kickstarter money, though, will be around 30 feet long, pieced together from CNC routed blocks, the seams sealed and the body painted by Keillor. It'll even have a custom made skin to show the dinosaur's distinct fuzzy feathered exterior.
But first, he has to make sure his design works.
"After I do the miniature printed version, I'll do some full-size test sections, like portions of body, to see what the detail looks like," he says. "From there I can go back and forth between tweaking the digital model and doing more of the real-world output tests to see what looks good."
Dryptosaurus isn't a well-known dinosaur, partly because there are not a lot of fossils of it, and no complete or partially complete skeletons.
"It allows a little bit of room for interpretation, but because we know the family of dinosaurs it belongs to — it's related to the Tyrannosaurs — you've got a pretty good idea of it's body form, it's proportions, that kind of thing," he says. "But there's still this opportunity, artistically, to make it unique."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Day #18 - January 21, 2010 - Now reading...
The LSPSP (Life skills program for student parents) coordinator at my school started a book club for our middle school girls. All of my middle school girls here are in the LSPSP program because they have either had a baby or are expecting. So, she thought this would be a great way to get them all together and also have mentors. She asked me to be a mentor and I'm so glad she did. We had our first meeting yesterday, and this is the book that she picked for us to start reading, True Believer by Virginia Euwer Wolff. It is the second book in the Make Lemonade Trilogy. I started reading the book last night and it is of course more for teen reading, but it is a cute book so far and very appropriate for the teen parents. So far I've gathered that it's about an inner city highschool girl and her friends. It discusses everything a inner city high school girl has to deal with; sex, drugs, being raised by a single parent, dangerous neighborhoods, etc. This was definitely a good choice for these girls to read. I'm looking forward to finishing it and hopefully I'll be able to read the other 2 books in the trilogy.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I finally made the purchase, ordered the 305 off Amazon for £140 i also paid the extra £8 for express delivery, so should be here by 1pm on Friday (i went for the express delivery inlight of all the post strikes etc)
Anyway, i'm aware of the main functions etc, I was just wondering if there were any websites out there that can utilise the conectivity of the Garmin?
Ah cheers, I did wonder who would suggest that.
Thats OK though, I suppose I can just scour google rather than go off other peoples recomendations..
Thanks oh helpful one.
It'll come with all the info Jay, I have a Foreunner 50 and they're great!! Once your set-up and start down loading your runs you'll find loads of little bits n bobs you can do!! I think the 305 is GPS(??), if it is I think i'm right in saying it'll show where you've just run and all the associated data!!
You can also share the info through the Garmin website and check other peoples routes, compare notes etc..... the Garmins are a great piece of kit. I'm thinking of upgrading for christmas so I have the GPS function!!
Oh and you can also download training plans found on this site!!
ie here's the download for a sub 4hr training plan:-
I have a 305 and use http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks/
I think it is a lot more user friendly.
If you go on the link you can have a quick look at all it features. It is totally free as well.
Quite sad but you can then put your run into Google earth and FLY your route.
Sports Tracks for me, but I also love Garmin Connect because it plays the route you've just ran - cool!

Virtual Transplantation in Designing a Facial Prosthesis for Extensive Maxillofacial Defects that Cross the Facial Midline Using Computer-Assisted Technology
Zhi-hong Feng, DDS, PhD/Yan Dong, DDS, PhD/Shi-zhu Bai, DDS, PhD/Guo-feng Wu, DDS, PhD/Yun-peng Bi, DDS, PhD/Bo Wang, MDS/Yi-min Zhao, DDS, PhD
Purpose: The aim of this article was to demonstrate a novel approach to designing facial prostheses using the transplantation concept and computer-assisted technology for extensive, large, maxillofacial defects that cross the facial midline. Materials and Methods: The three-dimensional (3D) facial surface images of a patient and his relative were reconstructed using data obtained through optical scanning. Based on these images, the corresponding portion of the relative�s face was transplanted to the patient�s where the defect was located, which could not be rehabilitated using mirror projection, to design the virtual facial prosthesis without the eye. A 3D model of an artificial eye that mimicked the patient�s remaining one was developed, transplanted, and fit onto the virtual prosthesis. A personalized retention structure for the artificial eye was designed on the virtual facial prosthesis. The wax prosthesis was manufactured through rapid prototyping, and the definitive silicone prosthesis was completed. Results: The size, shape, and cosmetic appearance of the prosthesis were satisfactory and matched the defect area well. The patient�s facial appearance was recovered perfectly with the prosthesis, as determined through clinical evaluation. Conclusion: The optical 3D imaging and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing system used in this study can design and fabricate facial prostheses more precisely than conventional manual sculpturing techniques. The discomfort generally associated with such conventional methods was decreased greatly. The virtual transplantation used to design the facial prosthesis for the maxillofacial defect, which crossed the facial midline, and the development of the retention structure for the eye were both feasible.

Saving Shelter Pets of California, Inc.
A Non Profit Corporation dedicated to saving the lives of shelter animals.
Our Adoptable Pet List
Click here to see our Happy Tails!
Saving Shelter Pets of California, Inc. is non profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue located in North County San Diego that saves animals facing euthanasia at city & county facilities.
If you can provide a foster home to a dog and would like to learn more, please contact us. For information on becoming a foster home and it's responsibilities, please visit
Furry Foster
Wish List: Gently used leashes and collars, crates, wire kennels, harnesses, blankets, doggie beds (clean, no flea infestation), canned dog food, Greenies Pill Pockets
Thousands of beautiful, healthy pets lose their lives every day in Southern California shelters. County facilities are facing high euthanasia rates due to the amount of strays and owner surrenders they are taking in. They simply do not have enough adopters for all of the animals they take into their shelters.
Please check your local county and city shelters for animals in need of homes, as they face high euthanasia rates, some pets have as little as 4 days.
To help the overpopulation, here is what you can do to help:
*Do not surrender your pet to a county facility. Instead, inquire with no kill humane societies and rescues to see if they can take in your pet or help find a new, permanent home for you. Too often, surrendering your pet to a county facility leaves them little chance of getting out alive due to shelter overcrowding.
* Always spay or neuter your pets - see "Who We Are" below for low cost options
*Keep your pets vaccinated - see "Who We Are" below for low cost options
*Keep your pets inside to avoid them escaping your yard
*Adopt a pet from an animal shelter or rescue rather than buying a new pet. You will be saving their life!
*Be a foster home or transporter for a local rescue or shelter.
*Never buy a puppy from a pet store or breeders. There are oodles of puppies available in the shelter system who need homes quickly
*Volunteer with your local shelter
*Donate supplies to local rescues and shelters
If you are interested in adopting one of our furry friends, the process begins with an the completion of an adoption profile. Upon receipt of the completed profile, we will schedule a telephone interview, followed by a face to face meeting with the pet you are interested in adopting, a home/yard check, and finally, both parties will execute an adoption contract, and you will at that time pay an adoption fee and take possession of the pet.
Adoption fees may vary, however we keep them as low as possible, to help cover the cost of pulling the animal from the shelter, and any medical fees we may incur.
The lowest cost of owning a pet is typically their adoption fee. Please consider the long term costs associated with owning a pet (food, ID tags, collars, leashes, veterinary care, annual vaccines, rabies vaccines, emergency medical costs, professional dog trainers for behavioral issues, etc.) We understand the difficulty of the current financial times we live in, and thus we promote education to the public and pet owners, including low cost options for health care. When you adopt a shelter dog, you are agreeing to care for the pet's well being for the duration of his or her life.
We firmly believe all pets should be spayed, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated against diseases that can be extremely harmful, if not fatal. If cost is an issue, please consider one of these options if you live in the local San Diego area:

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I HAVE ONLY YOU!
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget.
7. Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for ME if you are there. Remember, I Love You.
Do I Go Home Today?
by Sandi Thompson
My family brought me home cradled in their arms.
They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm.
They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys.
I sure do love my family, especially the little girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me; they gave me special treats.
They even let me sleep with them -- all snuggled in the sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
They even fought to hold the leash, I'm very proud to say!
These are the things I'll not forget -- a cherished memory.
I now live in the shelter -- without my family.
They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.
But I didn't know the difference between the old one and the new.
The kids and I would grab a rug, for hours we would tug.
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bedroom rug.
They said I was out of control and would have to live outside.
This I didn't understand, although I tried and tried!
The walks stopped one by one; they said they hadn't the time.
I wish that I could change things; I wish I knew my crime.
My life became so lonely in the backyard, on a chain.
I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.
So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why.
They said I caused an allergy, and then they each kissed me goodbye.
If I'd only had some training as a little pup.
I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.
"You only have one day left," I heard a worker say.
Does that mean I have a second chance?
Do I go home today?


text: Searing, Memphis-based post-garage combo Ex-Cult has announced the release date of its second full-length, titled Midnight Passenger. It'll be ready for your grubby mitts on April 29 through Goner Records. The general theme is purported to be that of the road-tattered touring band lifestyle. But knowing the cutting riffs and overall viseral intensity the band displayed through all those shows they did last year, it's doubtful this'll be one of those hackneyed "The road's fuckin' lonely, man" deals. They've made the wise decision to bring in Doug Easley (Oblivians, the Fuzz, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) to capture the band's sound. And their hard-charging ways won't quit, as they have a mess of SXSW shows set up (including the Goner Records showcase), plus no doubt some touring around that.

Where I stayed
Is it January?
We made it to Mammoth for a great - albeit windy, sleety, snowy - day of skiing. We had a ton of fun, the snow was unbelievable.
We got to Mammoth around 5:30 and after checking out the mountain base to see where we needed to go in the morning, we headed back into the little town a couple of miles down from the base. We figured we would find a spot to park the van, and then maybe stroll the town to find a bite, a pint and some wireless. Finding a spot to park proved more difficult than we thought in this ski town that apparently tries to keep its ski bums out of their vans and in Mammoth's hotels. In every lot, big red letters warned NO OVERNIGHT PARKING, often with
Fortunately the Motel 6 had laundry facilities, so we did a couple of much-needed loads – not that having all our clothes clean really helped with the problem at hand: we had no real ski gear. At one point in the trip planning, Matt and I had even discussed bringing our skis, or maybe at least our boots to make for an easier and more comfortable day on the hill. But as we looked at the timing of the driving, we realized we would really only have one day to spare for skiing, and real estate in the van was tight, so we figured we'd just rent gear for simplicity's
For some reason though, we both envisioned that spring skiing in California would entail bluebird skies, bright Cali sun and temperatures to match. Not even close – at least not for our chosen ski day. Mammoth's literature boasts 300+ days of sunshine a year, but clearly our day was not one of them. The forecast was for about -5C and blowing snow. Not a good match for the shorts, t-shirts and sunscreen we had pictured ourselves wearing a few weeks ago.
So, we improvised a bit. Matt had his spring ski shell which he combined with lightweight foul weather pants. I had my foul weather jacket and a pair of decrepit old yellow foulies – they haven't been water or wind proof in years, but I lost my functional pair last season and hadn't replaced them yet. (I had a few cold days but Foul weather on Lac St Louis isn't exactly ocean crossing weather – or California in May, as I learned). I did have an assortment of tuques (of
The snow at Mammoth was great – the snow on the hill, at least. The half-snow, half-sleet (depending on elevation) that pelted our faces while we skied wasn't so great. But the snow/freezing rain lessened as the day went on and we got a bit used to it as well, so in the end the weather wasn't such a bother. The ongoing precipitation and elevation made for some
We took a couple of breaks since the 8000 feet of altitude got our heads a bit, so we didn't

It takes courage to stand up when everyone else is content to sit in fear or ignorance. It takes courage to demand the truth and work hard to get it. It takes courage to sometimes be in the minority and keep pitching until the rest understand. It takes courage to be a peacemaker when everyone else is screaming for blood. It takes courage to try when it looks too tough because you never know what you can do until you try.
For all our elected leaders who act like pawns in pathetic lockstep with the Administration rather than intelligent leaders, please remind them what courage is. Integrity and honesty are becoming lost qualities in Congress, but a few have stepped up. Let's celebrate those unfaltering individuals who continue to show courage and show them that they are not alone and we also are not afraid.
Thank you for your accurate and insightful reply. do you feel a growing sense of community as i do?, We were so demoralized by bushcos constant daily assault on our country/people and our way of life. It seesm as though it took Cindy to galvanize us, but now we are coming together in a way that is truly inspiring. Take care.
An honest person has no fear of the facts. Answer the questions posed by Congressman Conyers regarding the Downing Street Memos.
Dear Dems,
YOu have smashed all records for craven capitulation to fascist, un-Christ-like, un-American thugs in the White House.
Bravely done, lads and ladies.
tell us of your military service or are you one of the typical right wing nut chicken hawks?. Please go sign up and head out to Irag.
We need to save what is left of our beloved Democracy which is quickly being replaced by a Fascist Theocracy of the Religious Reich. If Clinton was impeached for a mere sexual act, then the Bush Regime MUST be held accountable for the lies as PROVEN in the Downing Street Minutes. It is as though the nation and the main stream media is held asleep by the desire to have a strong Father figure in control. Bush does not qualify as that figure! He went AWOL on the easiest of war time assignments leaving others to do the real fighting in Vietnam; now his propagandist spin projects the image of a strong tree cutting macho-alpha male! If we don't break through the lies and quite literally save our Democracy, we will all become 2nd class citizens in the neo-con Religious Reich theocracy! It is time to take action. It is time to ween the dependent 51% of the population from their father figure obsession for the sake of freedom! We must not let their fear of real freedoms take away ours forever! Thank you Cindy for holding the torch of freedom in our nation's present darkness!
Review Downing Street Memo
I agree with the previous statement:
An honest person has no fear of the facts. Answer the questions posed by Congressman Conyers regarding the Downing Street Memos
Americans have a right to know the facts.
The nation has lost respect for the political process and the word the the current administration.
The most significant form of support for our troops would be to bring them home and stop lying about the motivations for this war.
The Bush administration took the nation to war on the basis of a bundle of ever-changing arguments, few of which stood up once the fighting began. Ever since, the White House has tried to shore up its positions by discounting all bad news and shielding the civilian public from any war-connected inconvenience. But that strategy has very clearly stopped working. It is time for a somber acceptance of the war's costs, and some specific talk about what the nation's goals and strategy are in Iraq.Aug. 6 was the fourth anniversary of that fateful 2001 Crawford vacation day when George W. Bush responded to an intelligence briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" by going fishing.This is a president who hasn't foreseen any of the setbacks in the war he fabricated against an enemy who did not attack inside the United States in 2001.
As of August 23, 2005, 1872 American troops and between 22,500 to 100,00 Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war in Iraq. Domestically, the bill for the war has reached $204.6 billion.
We should quit using the term "war", since it isn't now nor has it ever been "a war", its a police action for the oil companies, bankers and military industrial complex companies such as Halliburton oil, bechtel and the carlyle group. Our children are dying for "corporatism"! What is that?
In an article several months back that appeared in Harpers, Naomi Klein suggested that the dismantling of Iraq's centralized economy, coming as it did with massive layoffs, greatly fueled the resistance. Hundreds of thousands of laid off workers were attracted to fighting against foreign interests which had rendered them unemployed.
The USA has Muslim allies in the countries of Turkey, Pakistan and Saudia Arabia (and others), which could form a Muslim force to provide security for the Iraqi government,and you can support our troops by bringing them home alive.
IVAW (Iraq Veterans Against the War) is working with senators and congress people to draft the "Bring Them Home Now" Resolution, which calls for the immediate withdrawal of occupying forces in Iraq. Please be one of them!
..please support the attempted investigation of the Downing St. memos and the resulting resolution that would force this...thank you.
The country is at a crossroads right now, and very much in need of leadership that has the courage to do right thing. For almost five years now, millions have watched in frustration as a small group of greedy ideologues have taken over the country, with the aid of an enabling media.
The opposition party, (with a few notable exceptions), have done nothing to represent their constituents.
The country is going to go in a new direction, with or without the present leadership. You can decide now whether or not you will lead, or get out of way.
The destruction that the Bush regime has brought upon the world is insane. Congress was so quick to cave in to the fear mongering after 911 and sign away our civil liberties with the unquestioned passing of the Patriot Act. F.E.M.A. was put under the control of Homeland Security and we all see what type of security that meant for the poor folks in New Orleans. Hundreds of thousands of people have died, and Iraq is radioactive for the next 4.5 Billion years. We have yet to see all of the birth defects that American soldiers will be seeing in their children to come from exposure to depleted uranium. This is a subject that is hardly ever discussed. The Iraqi mothers have had to endure these horrible birth defects for so long they are afraid to give birth.The Iraqi mothers have had to endure these horrible birth defects for so long they are afraid to give birth. When these type of horrible birth defects happen to the children of American soldiers the administration will continue to lie about them like they did with Gulf war Sydrome and Agent Orange. It is sickeing to think of the evil and madness that is Bush , Cheney, Runsfield, Condi and the rest of them. The Bush family has a long history of war profitering and does not care about the horrors they commit to the rest of the world. All of these horrors- the crumbling schools,global warming and environmental devastation , New Orleans under water and people dying waiting for the Feds to respond,economy in ruins, and an illegal war that has killed untold thousands on both sides are direct results of an administration gone mad with greed.
The world cant wait! Drive out the Bush regime ! They must be held accountable . They are all war criminals!

This sensual, remarkably observed, beautifully acted wonder is the breakout feature from British writer/director/editor Andrew Haigh (who made his debut with Greek Pete). Rarely has a film been as honest about sexuality - in both depiction and discussion - as this tale of a one-night-stand that develops into a weekend-long idyll for two very different young men (exciting newcomers Tom Cullen and Chris New) in Midlands England. It's an emotionally naked film that's both an invaluable snapshot of the complexities of contemporary gay living and a universally identifiable portrait of a love affair.
3 Reasons To buy this film
- This movie wasn't just the most acclaimed gay film of 2011, it was one of the most acclaimed films period.
- Weekend won the Audience Awards at both SXSW and Outfest 2011. It was also the opening night film selection of Brooklyn's acclaimed BAMcinemafest.
- Newcomers Tom Cullen and Chris New give charmingly natural performances that will hit you right where it counts: your heart. This is one of the best gay romances you're likely to see - and it's directed with brilliant simplistic skill by filmmaker-to-watch Andrew Haigh.
I am such a fan of Weekend that I find it difficult to write about. There is a part of me that feels as though dissecting the film will take away from its magic and power. If you haven't seen it, stop reading now, order your copy and come to it with fresh eyes. The first time I saw it, I was by myself and had little-to-no expectations. I was so emotionally awestruck and uplifted that I immediately wanted to watch it again and share the experience with another person. Honestly, I think I have seen it about 12 times by now (with different friends) and I can say confidently that, with the exception of a poorly-written song that plays during the closing credits, Weekend is a PERFECT romance - especially for those of us who remain skeptical of love stories.
Two cute, gay, British hipster boys meet, share a one-night-stand and then start connecting on a deeper level the next morning. One of them, though, is leaving for school in Portland, Oregon at the end of the weekend. They only have that short period of time to spend together. The premise seems simple, but the emotions are complicated. The fact that these two guys, opposites at times, are so drawn to each other starts to make them question all other aspects of their lives and plans for the future. They quickly learn how to push each other's buttons, but come away stimulated by their interactions. These two clearly have a lot to learn from one another. On top of that, the sex (depicted graphically, but with great sensitivity and beauty) is pretty amazing too. With the time constraint looming over their early-stage romance, the pressure is on. Will these two throw caution to the wind and start planning a life together or are they destined to part ways with only a sweet, melancholy memory to show for their relationship? You'll have to watch to find out!
Newcomers Tom Cullen and Chris New are so comfortable in the lead roles, delivering such wonderfully memorable, naturalistic performances that it's easy to forget they are acting. Andrew Haigh, a director-to-watch if I ever saw one, manages to keep raising the emotional stakes while never betraying the realistic atmosphere that he creates. What begins as a dialog-driven character study, ends as an almost edge-of-your-seat experience that still values honesty, and the simple examination of finding love when you least expect it. Weekend is easily one of the most excitingly romantic movies I've seen in a long, long time. It totally blew me away and I hope it does the same for you.

- "Naturalistic without being ineloquent, heartfelt yet unsentimental, Weekend is the rarest of birds: a movie romance that rings true." — Eric Hynes Village Voice
- "British filmmaker Andrew Haigh's background in editing (from Gladiator to Mister Lonely) is evident in the casual beauty of moments that only appear 'found,' giving Weekend an engrossing documentary feel." — Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly
- "There is... a need for stories that address the complex entanglements of love and sex honestly, without sentiment or cynicism and with the appropriate mixture of humor, sympathy and erotic heat. Weekend, Andrew Haigh's astonishingly self-assured, unassumingly profound second feature, is just such a film." — A.O. Scott The New York Times
- "So much movie can be made with so little plot, given sufficient humanity and dramatic tension. That's the case with Andrew Haigh's eloquent chamber piece." — Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal
- "Weekend is such a smart, prickly, sexy, inventive film that it critiques itself and critiques its viewers, gay or straight, even as it spins an archetypal romantic fable." — Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com
- "This is a smart, sensitive, perceptive film, with actors well suited to the dialogue. It underlines the difficulty of making connections outside our individual boxes of time and space." — Roger Ebert Chicago-Sun Times

- "Weekend manages to ride the line between character study, comedy, drama, and a host of other genres without feeling cramped." — James Renovitch Austin Chronicle

- "I hate to damage so fragile a work with overpraise, but, gay or straight, if you don't see yourself in this movie, you need to get a life." — David Edelstein New York Magazine

I was one of the lucky ones to see this masterpiece in a theatre. Having watched gay themed movies for over 30 years, none touched me, seemed so real, and more relatable than Weekend. Even the beloved classic, Brokeback Mountain, spends the great majority of its screen time around non-gay scenes. But this one, so human, our Brief Encounter. If the accents are tough, use closed-captioning. Enjoy this lower budget classic.

I waited for a long time to see this movie, and I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed. In the most simplest of terms, this film was unbelievably boring! Were there elements of some good romance, yes. Was the acting good, most definitely. Many of us have had weekend romances that didn't go anywhere, and some have turned into relationships. There was nothing new or interesting about the plot line of this film. Don't waste your time or money.
Amos Lassen wrote on 06/05/2012:
One of the most honored and talked about films of late is Andrew Haigh's love story, "Weekend". It is the story of Russell (Tom Cullen) and Glen (Chris New) who met at a bar one Friday evening after Russell left his straight friends and went out to a gay bar. He was looking for a quick one night stand so just before the bar's closing, he picked Glen up for what he thought would just be another "shag". Instead, Russell and Glen find themselves in a long weekend in the bars and in bed, drinking and taking drugs, talking and telling stories and having sex and they get to know each other through intimate conversation. They share a weekend that they will never forget and an emotional connection that will be part of their lives forever.
This is a new kind of love story in that it is totally honest and makes no apologies as it looks at Russell and Glen and their search for identity and the importance of being committed to someone else and what that commitment means. Set in England, we see two men who meet, have sex, talk and become attracted to each other (in that order). Glen, however, is moving to the United States the Monday after their weekend and upon hearing this, Russell initiates even more sex and eventually they talk about love, life and relationships.
The dialogue is very sharp and even though you may have to listen carefully because of the accents, there are some very interesting topics discussed. This is a difficult movie to classify because although it is a love story, the two men only share two days together. We cannot think of it as a coming-out-story because our characters are out and met in a gay bar. I might consider calling it a character study or a comedy or a drama or just a stew of all of these but in actuality, I believe, it defies classification because it is so many different things. While Russell is out to himself, he is not out to his friends and cannot talk about bring gay to them. Glen certainly has no problem with his sexuality and seems to be at home in the bars. When the two meet at the bar, a romantic chain of events begins and we are with them as they make love and have serious conversations. We watch as love blooms only to be let down as the guys are upset when we realize that Glen is leaving on Monday.
Cullen and New turn in perfect performances and they give a sweet sadness and bare intimacy to the story of a very powerful yet brief love affair. We see the film from Russell's point of view and we learn a bit about him—he is a lifeguard and his free time is spent with his straight friends and getting high at home. With a bit too much to drink, he meets Glen and they have sex. So, you ask, what is new about that? Well, up to this point the movie is not unlike many others but it is here that the characters begin to become real people—rather that seeing the sex between the two men, director Haigh lets us listen as both men try to explain to each other who they are. Glen asks Russell about his past sexual life and why he picked him up and is able to get Russell to talk. We learn that Glen is an art student who actually his sexual liaisons as an art project. Russell is a bit surprised and embarrassed by this but Glen sees potential for discovery and "reinvention in anonymous, casual sex" and sees what is happening as constructive experimentation and self-discovery which can be used as art.
Russell is intrigued by Glen as the audience is and we feel the chemistry between the two men who are both anxious to and hesitant about sharing their sexual attraction for each other. During the 48 hours following the initial meeting, they spend the majority of their time having sex and talking. Russell opens up and Glen learns about Russell's love for antiques. We especially see this in the city where the action takes place. Nottingham is an old city that has lots of history and many young people who are trying to discover who they are.
Sex is seen graphically and honestly and that is due to that is what the film is all about. Russell is a bit of an enigma. He is out of the closet but does not feel comfortable expressing his sexuality publicly and will not discuss it with his friends who are all straight. He confesses that when he is alone, he is happy being gay and here is where we hit the core issue of the film. It seems to be that self hatred which one keeps inside can make it difficult for one to understand himself and we question the meaning of "being gay". Glen and Russell as seen as individuals who are gay while they are not seen as gay characters. Being gay just happens to be part of them. Glen is a gay political activist while Russell is not at all involved. They debate about it, talk it over and disagree about gay marriage so we cannot really see them as representatives of a gay community.
Looking at the movie as a love story, there are scenes of romance which are totally realistic. When the two part at the train station, we have idea that they will ever meet again but the more important aspect of the film is that two men met, made live and conversed during a weekend they will forget.
Another interesting fact about "Weekend" is that the script is simple and all dialogue. The writing of the movie is absolutely perfect—especially the end. Most men change because of the intense weekend that they shared. Russell finds that he can now respond to homophobia and Glen realizes that he can say goodbye– he claimed to not do boyfriends or goodbyes). The two men suited each other even though they might not have known it. The film is a candid look at the moment when two people understand that have deeper feelings for each other than desire.

The Diocese has recently updated its policies for clergy, religious, employees, and volunteers in this area. The policies are now known as "Policies, Procedures and Guidelines for Ethical and Responsible Conduct in Ministry", and include norms of conduct, preventive measures, directions for the reporting of suspicious behavior or for making sexual abuse allegations, investigative procedures, and disciplinary steps to be taken as is appropriate.

Lesson 3 and 4
Lesson 5 and 6
Lesson 7 and 8
The Diocese of Brownsville continues in its long-standing positive and proactive approach to this sensitive issue. Sexual abuse of children is not tolerated and timely responses are made to all allegations of violations of sexual boundaries. The Diocese is fully implementing the nationally recognized "Protecting God's Children" program of sex abuse education/prevention.
As the Catholic faithful of the Valley, we share responsibility for the life and mission of the Church. Each of us is called to celebrate, promote, and when necessary to defend the life and dignity of every person. This awesome responsibility demands that we treat everyone with respect, do what we can to see that harm is never brought to others, especially minors and vulnerable adults, and seek to bring healing for those who have been harmed.
To help achieve these ends, the Diocese of Brownsville has taken the following steps:
Suspected misconduct with minors by lay church personnel should be reported to the pastor of the parish, the principal of the school, or the head of the Catholic institution in question.
Suspected misconduct with minors by a priest, deacon, or religious should be reported directly to the Bishop or Vicar General at (956) 784-5067 or (956) 542-2501; to Walter Lukaszek, Assistance Coordinator, (956) 784-5066; or to Sr. Norma Pimentel, Director of Social Services, (956) 402-4088.
Letters to the Vicar General or Bishop should be sent to P.O. Box 2279, Brownsville, TX 78522-2279. Upon request, a form for a Confidential Notice of Concern may be obtained from the local pastor, school principal, institution head, or diocese, or it may be downloaded from this page.
By state law, anyone who suspects abuse or neglect of a minor must report it to local law enforcement officials or to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services at 1-800-252-5400.
The Review Board for the Protection of God's People serves as a confidential body to advise the Bishop in matters of policy, prevention of misconduct, and on responses to allegations of misconduct.
Once a person has indicated to the Diocese that they experienced clergy sexual abuse as a minor, the assistance coordinator contacts the person to listen and begin the healing process and assists them to contact those in the Diocese and community who can help them.
Confidentiality: Mr. Lukaszek abides by the Code of Ethics for Social Workers & the Diocese of Brownsville.
Biographical details: Mr. Lukaszek is married 43 years, father of one son, 27 years with Child Protective Services, included in the 43 years of public service, lay minister in Donna since 1980.

Breaking news: people are – themselves – pollutants. In a shoddy little piece of propaganda issued earlier today, Britain's Daily Telegraph quotes a recent study by the London School of Economics (LSE) titled: Fewer Emitter, Lower Emissions, Less Cost. The bottom line? Babies are burdensome… not only to their parents, but to society at large and, indeed, to the entire human race:
"The UN estimates that 40 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended." The Daily Telegraph, 09/09/09
The spin continues, "If these basic family planning needs were met, 34 gigatons (billion tonnes) of CO2 would be saved – equivalent to nearly 6 times the annual emissions of the US and almost 60 times the UK's annual total."
Roger Martin, chairman of the Optimum Population Trust at the LSE, (yes folks, that actually exists) said: "It's always been [obvious] that total emissions depend on the number of emitters as well as their individual emissions – the carbon tonnage can't shoot down as we want, while the population keeps shooting up."
In sum, human beings – themselves the supposed authors of climate change – are becoming a bona fide hazard to global health, and if we could only provide adequate family planning resources (read: harmful, cancer-causing contraceptives, condoms which increase risky sexual behaviors, and abortion on demand), maybe… just maybe we can save this planet from ourselves.
What is actually inherent in the equation "More Humans = More Pollution" is the obvious converse: "Fewer Humans = Healthier Planet."
And isn't that what the climate control junkies have been harping after for decades? They don't want to save the world "for the sake of the children" … They don't want there to be any children. Period. Except for those whom they selectively deign worthy of existence. Healthy ones. Fit ones. Those who fit the socioeconomic designs of their mercenary mothers and fathers.
Perhaps my acerbity is unnecessary, but then, how does one respond to the charge that human beings are trash? That the human person is intrinsically parasitic? Can one be too politically insensitive when answering such a charge? I think not. Maybe it's the mother bear in me, but anyone who purports that curtailing "40% of the world's pregnancies" would solve some pressing issues relating to the utterly unsubstantiated and unproven "epidemic" of global warming has some 'splaining to do. Particularly in light of all the "chatter" surrounding the great health care debate over here in the States.
Yes, by all means, let's make the Pill more readily available for human consumption. That will surely stop the crushing wheels of progress from lurching forward over unsuspecting subspecies and biomes. But then, there's the mounting evidence (as mentioned here and here) that contraceptive sex ain't the panacea it's cracked up to be, particularly from the perspective of environmental impact.
So maybe the Pill's not the ideal solution to curb that nasty, child-producing epidemic know colloquially as "sexual intercourse." Maybe there's an easier way… a "greener" way. Maybe we ought to be looking down the pike for the eventuality of the ultimate rationalization: forced sterilization.
We have licenses to drive. Licenses to wed. Licenses to install plumbing on build sites… shouldn't we, you know, set up some kind of government authorization process whereby individuals can be screened, processed and labelled "fit to breed?"
Don't think it's not coming just because it's terrifying. Twenty years ago, the notion of starving a disabled person to death was terrifying. Forty years ago, there existed no such notion as "consensual sex" between a sixteen-year old boy and a 22-year old college man. Seventy years ago, the specter of gender-selective abortion was terrifying (well, everywhere but in Nazi Germany).
Which brings us to today. And which brings me to the close of my rant. And the following article, which I'd suggest you share with as many people as possible, with the caveat that you prepare in advance to offer a solid rebuttal to the fallacies contained within.

"I was concerned that the typeface might be a bit small, but it all looks great. Very professional, and a bit swish also. I could not be happier."
"I was looking for something that was simple and beautiful at the same time. I came across this card and knew it was what I wanted. The detail with the color of the name along with the thin lines adds such a nice touch. I was not expecting such a good quality with the paper and was pleasantly surprised. I already have recommended this card along with the site to my friends. Thank you!"
"The business cards which I ordered turned out absolutely gorgeous! Far better quality than cards I have ordered from other well known office supply stores. I personalized my card with a picture which I took myself and was able to create my own text front and back which I was not able to do at the other store. The quality of the paper and printing were great. I am very pleased with my cards and will order form you again."
"I love this card template. I was able to choose a picture that is meaningful to my business. The quality of the paper and print quality is great. I received the cards a few days after I ordered them. Thank you."
"I am looking for a new job, and I needed business cards fast. Everyone suggested the free sites, but I really felt that spending a little bit of extra money was worth it. The cards are gorgeous, and really help me stand out. The paper is a good weight, and people comment on the design often."

"The roots of American liberalism are not compassion but snobbery. So argues historian Fred Siegel in The Revolt Against the Masses. Siegel traces the development of liberalism from the cultural critics of the post WWI years to the gentry liberals today, and he shows how the common thread is scorn for middle-class Americans and for America itself. This is a stunningly originaland convincingbook."
Michael Barone, senior political analyst at the Washington Examiner, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics
"Fred Siegel's superb The Revolt Against the Masses should be required reading for those who wonder how liberal elites came to dominate our culture, overriding the will of the people. Siegel's book is history at its best and most relevant."
Roger L. Simon, Academy Awardnominated screenwriter, author, and founder of PJ Media
"In The Revolt Against the Masses, Fred Siegel reveals the intellectual underpinnings of today's ascendant gentry liberalism, which leaves old-fashioned liberals, including, I suspect, Siegel himself, politically homeless. The increasingly anti-democratic character of liberalism also undermines much of the reason we became progressives in the first place, which was to help the middle and working classes. The gentry's stridency and hypocrisywhat's OK for them is not for everyone elseis utterly transforming liberalism today. The progressives portrayed in this book are not so much the heirs of Jefferson or Jackson or even Roosevelt, as they are the American heirs of the worst high-toned Tories."
Joel Kotkin, author of The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050

If we could go back in time and catch a glimpse of Greta Garbo's vanity table, we're pretty sure we'd find a little pot of rouge like this one there. The versatile lip and cheek cream is making its rounds through Hollywood—in fact, it appeared in the Oscar-winning movie The Artist. Designed by Bésame founder and vintage beauty buff Gabriela Hernandez, it takes its influences from the '30s with a red and gold floral tin.
I was drawn to the vintage feel of this rogue and went out on a whim and bought it. I am so glad that I did.
It comes packaged in a vintage style tin, which is precious sitting out on your vanity, btw. It is slightly difficult to open and close though, but the product itself is worth the struggle.
It can be worn as a lip or cheek product and you need VERY little. It's super pigmented and this pot will last you a lifetime. It is long lasting and you will not need to reapply.
Once you're done with the product, this will be a cute keepsake.
I love the design and the vintage feel of the rouge. It's something my grandmother would have used. However, I hate the container. While the design on the container is gorgeous, the container itself is next to impossible to close. I barely use it for that reason. It takes a while to match up the container lid so it'll go back on and you have to wiggling it back and forth forcefully to fully close it.3
This is the first Besame product that I purchased several years ago and I absolutely love it! I usually don't like to purchase beauty products sight unseen, but I had read so many great reviews on it that I figured it was a safe bet. Also, it is such a great deal because this stuff literally lasts FOREVER! I only use a little dab on my cheeks, blend, and done. At first I was a bit nervous of the bright color, but you can truly make it as subtle or intese as you want. I also really love the vintage look of the packaging and the fact that this make up brand is made by a woman, Gabriela Hernandez, who really knows her stuff and loves vintage beauty like I do. I have several other items from Besame and they are all fantastic!5
VERY pigmented, a little goes a long way. This tin will last forever. Dab two or three small dots on the cheek bone and blend well for great cheek color, or apply to lips for full color. I have used this on olive colored skin and on dark skin and it looks beautiful on both!5
I really like the color of this product. I have always had a difficult time finding a shade that is natural looking and I think this one is great and that will flatter almost every complexion/skin tone that exists. However, the main drawback for me is that I find it very hard to blend. I have oily skin so I can only imagine that it would be even more difficult on drier skin. I'll probably look at other options before purchasing again.4
You won't be disappointed. I bought this blindly, having never sampled before and only having read the reviews. I love it. It's definitely one of those hues that looks good with any skin tone. I haven't tried it as a blush, but this is my new favorite go-to when I want some red lips. And the tin is so cute and chic!5

Oh Chris...I'm sorry to hear that!
I'm sure you'll find something, but in the meantime, you can finish your projects! :)
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Oh Chris...I'm sorry to hear that!
I'm sure you'll find something, but in the meantime, you can finish your projects! :)
Having been in this position 20 years ago when the computer industry consolidated and tightened up, I know what you're going through. A couple of pieces of unsolicited advice:
1) Start your job hunt now, not when your unemployment runs out. Your job right now is to 'find a job.' With the market like it is, it may take some time and you may find yourself headed in a new direction. You may not find anything making the money you make now. Chances are though, it will pay more than unemployment.
2) Don't get discouraged. These things take time. It's easier to do when you are not completely without income. You'll also interview better while you still have the unemployment safety net - it's an attitude thing.
Hang in there!
One more thing.
I never did go back into my old field - computer programming. I became an accountant, working for a CPA. I eventually opened my own bookkeeping business so I could work around the kids' schedules. I've now added the quilting business. I guess my point is, go with the opportunities you find. You may find something you like better than your last job. ATTITUDE....It's all attitude!!!
Ive seen my boss do similar things to other good people i think he just doesnt like to keep people too long it probly isnt worth fighting this issueOriginally Posted by shaverg
I was going to try and find something in the sewing field we have some upholstery shops and things around here. I was a welder mostly at my last job but i did also sew awnings and other things together for them so i gained a new skill while i worked there.Originally Posted by Shelley
Sorry to hear about this, Chris. It's a hard blow to take, even if you have an inkling it will happen. Been there, done that. I echo Kyia....let us know if you need anything. All the best to you.
Chris, I am so sorry to hear about your job but knew you didn't totally "like" it. This economic "downturn" is causing lots of changes for lots of people.
Let's just hope that "when one door closes, another door opens......." applies here.....
Regardless, change is always difficult to deal with and my thoughts are with you. Thank goodness for unemployment!
Sorry to hear what your're going through. This is the time to rest and enjoy the peace and serenity and of course quilt! {{{{HUGS}}}}
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your job. My boyfriend was laid off from his job of 12 years the day before thanksgiving! It is so tough out there right now!! There are no jobs anywhere!! My mom was also temporarily laid off while her job changes owners.
In these tough times, it is best to try to be optimistic. When one door closes, another door opens!! I wish you the best of luck, and enjoy the vacation that you have been given!!!!
Sorry about your job loss. I am sure something will come about. Another reason I am glad I am retired! No one can let me go!!!!

Do You Viv?
Get stickers, green businesses: the idea behind sustainability and consumer-focused company Viv is a simple and free one that could also be the best way to make your credit card look better (short of getting a black AMEX). After customers place a small sticker on the front of their debit or credit cards and show it at the time of purchase, participating retailers pledge to make energy efficiency and other green improvements to their businesses if enough stickers come through their doors and patronize. Grocery stores, bars, "eco-gourmet restaurants," and liquor and convenience stores are all taking part, and their progress on their commitments to make their businesses more eco-friendly can be tracked by the community. San Francisco-based founder Arul Velan started the company after Stanford Business School and a stint at Facebook with the help of Dinesh Thirupuvanam, and the pair and their team have been seen recently at street fests and athletic events distributing their green stickers. A little good, a lil' green.

We are happy to announce the release of the second edition of a book written by two of our members, Tomáš Bouška and Klára Pinerová, Czechoslovak Political Prisoners. Life Stories of 5 Male and 5 Female Victims of Stalinism.Read more
An exchange between American and Czech students who learned about the lives of political prisoners under Stalinism. Students translated, proofread and edited texts about the political prisoners' experiences. This culminated in a two-day trip to the former prison sites and uranium mines near Jáchymov.Read more
Interdisciplinary History Conference Jáchymov in the 20th century. Place of Memory in European History will take place between 12–14 October 2016.Read more
The members of the Czech volunteer initiative Političtí vězni.cz invite you to a unique concert of the handicapped music band The Tap Tap, which will take place on 27th of June 2015 in the town of Jáchymov (North-West Bohemia, close to Karlovy Vary). On this day we commemorate the official Day of Political Prisoners in the Czech Republic, symbolizing the remembrance of those who were persecuted during the period of non-freedom in Czechoslovakia after 1948. Političtí vězni.cz will present the band at the end of ceremonial re-opening of the knowledge trail called "Jachymov Hell". Join us!Read more
What is a political prisoner? Who are they? Are there still political prisoners today? These are questions that a group of students from New York University had only a passing familiarity with prior to meeting such prisoners and traveling to Jáchymov.Read more
This site was originally created in the fall 2008 with the following objectives:
The published content was enriched, edited and updated by volunteers of the Czech civic organisation Political Prisoners.eu in July 2011. Thanks to their efforts we have proofread all our English interviews and made them more comprehensive. At least we tried. Though we are mostly Czech researchers we are constantly working on delivering more content in English.
This website became part of a trans-disciplinary, non-governmental and non-profit oral history project which aimed at commemoration of former political prisoners who survived jailing in Stalinist prisons and working camps in the former Czechoslovakia and other European countries. In 2009 - 2012 we developed new initiatives, events and networks targeted at a more profound research interest in the field of oral histories of politically oppressed around the globe.
Commemoration of victims of Stalinism, in our opinion, was of an utmost importance not only when the whole world celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of Iron Curtain. Former political prisoners were and still are the living witnesses of past. They certainly should not be heard only on anniversaries. We do not have many chances left to listen, research, and learn from their stories. However, we are the witnesses of the future and thus potential carriers of their important memories. We wish to contribute to the exchange and popularisation of their memories. That is why you can find here transcriptions of oral history interviews and narratives and short multimedia.Yet all he ideas expressed in the narratives are the narrators' own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the interviewers or of the Political Prisoners.eu.
We would like to invite everyone interested in supporting this project to contact us via email: email@example.com.
Thank you in advance for your interest and help!
The Team of volunteer research initiative Political Prisoners.eu.
Memories of Jáchymov: trail to past

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced Tuesday (June 17) that juniors Geena Gall(Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc HS), Tiffany Ofili(Ypsilanti, Mich./Ypsilanti HS) and co-captain Bettie Wade(Northville, Mich./Farmington HS)and senior Nicole Edwards(Winnipeg, Manitoba/Vincent Massey)of the University of Michigan womens track and field team earned All-America honors in recognition of their individual performances at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Ofili and Gall each earned national titles Saturday (June 14) to lead the women's track and field team to seventh place at the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Drake Stadium. Ofili repeated as national champion in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 12.84, while Gall won the 800-meter run in 2:03.91.
Ofili is the first U-M sprinter in program history to win consecutive NCAA outdoor titles and claim All-America honors in back-to-back seasons. She is also the first Wolverine to win three consecutive national championships (two outdoor, one indoor) in school history.
Gall is the first Wolverine to claim the NCAA outdoor 800-meter run title and the first one to claim three consecutive All-America honors in the event, adding to her fourth-place finish in 2006 and fifth-place effort last year.
Wade placed third in the heptathlon (3,560 points) and Edwards finished sixth in the 1,500-meter run (4:15.00) as each earned All-America status.
Wade's third-place performance marks the highest heptathlon finish in school history and earned her the second All-America accolade in the event of her career. Jacquelyn Johnson of Arizona State won the title for the fourth straight year.
In her final collegiate track race, Edwards claimed her third career All-America accolade and is the first one to claim three consecutive All-America honors in the event, adding to her fourth-place finish in 2006 and seventh-place effort last year.
The NCAA titles by Tiffany Ofili (100-meter hurdles) and Geena Gall (800-meter run) give Michigan four outdoor event championships -- the program's all-time total for the outdoor season -- in the last two years. Last year Ofili won the 100m hurdles and Anna Willard captured the 3,000-meter steeplechase title.
Ofili's preliminary time of 12.73 in the 100-meter hurdles is a U-M school record and Drake Stadium record.
Bettie Wade's third-place performance in the heptathlonis the highest finish in the event in school history.
Michigan has a total of 56 outdoor All-Americaawards (including six AIAW All-Americans).

Download Organizations are rapidly expanding their mobility programs, enabling more users to access enterprise applications and data from a wider range of devices, often creating a hybrid environment of corporate-owned mobile devices and instituting BYOD policies. Delivering apps to mobile environments is a key challenge for IT groups requiring the need to support a wide variety of device types, operating systems, form factors, user preferences, and security requirements. As organizations continue to expand their mobility and BYOD programs, they will need efficient and effective ways to bring enterprise applications to mobile environments, whether from developing new mobile applications, modernizing existing applications, or virtualizing desktop environments.

A Visit to Westfalenpark2012-09-10 2 Share Tweet
With 600,000 inhabitants, Dortmund is one of the biggest cities in Germany (even if it's relatively unknown in most parts of the world). But if you visit the "Westfalenpark" you wouldn't guess that you are in the heart of a major city. The big green space is a perfect spot for relaxation and a photo tour all year long.
The park was founded in 1959 for the occasion of the first of three national garden shows that was held in Dortmund. Unlike many other parks, the Westfalenpark is not admission free, but the work of the landscapers, the caring of the flowers and plants, and the great events held in the park make up for the cover charge. Whether you come to see the flowers bloom during spring, relax on the big greens in the summertime, enjoy the changing leaves in the fall, or take a winter stroll, the Westfalenpark is always worth a visit.
In the center of the park you'll find the "Florian" (a German male name). Yes, the inhabitants of Dortmund gave their television tower (which once was the highest building in Germany) a name. But why not? You can ride up the tower in an elevator and enjoy the great view of the city or have a break in the revolving restaurant up there.
Four times a year there is a huge flea market in Westfalenpark. In the summertime, you can go boating on a little lake, take the chair lift or use one of the great playgrounds in the park. There is also a little train, concerts, big fireworks in August, a light festival in the wintertime, and much more for you to discover.
So, you can't wait to come to Dortmund now, am I right? If you do pay it a visit, let me know, maybe we can go for a lomo walk together.
Official website of the park with all visitor information (unfortunately only in German).
