|This thesis examines the impact of the Great Depression in Australia, and attempts to explain the reasons why the orthodox economic theories of the day did little to relieve the hardship and suffering caused by unemployment. The study highlights the influence of leading Australian economists, such as L.F. Giblin, D.B. Copland, J.B. Brigden and E.O. Shann, in shaping government policy towards the unemployed. It also examines the role of the Bank of England, which exercised a great deal of control over the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and public policy during the Depression in Australia. The advice given by the Bank of England to the Commonwealth Bank made it difficult, if not impossible, for politicians and economists to introduce initiatives that would have created jobs and lifted the burden from the most vulnerable in society. As banks and financial institutions now operate in the sphere of cyber finance, and trading in derivatives is commonplace, perhaps a detailed analysis of the 1930s in Australia will ensure that the lessons of history are understood.

has always been the dirty little mistress of the music industry.
Record execs bankroll MCs and reap all of carnal benefits, but labels
have historically treated rap like a disposable commodity that would
soon be forgotten. As a result, even iconic hip-hop albums have
lacked the slick photography and packaging that accompanied memorable
rock and pop projects. It's an utter shame, but one that the
innovative throwback specialists at the Malden-based Get On Down aim
to correct.
always been a stigma associated with hip-hop – even though it's
the number one marketing force in the world," says Get On Down
co-founder Matt Welch. "Everyone from Microsoft to people selling
organic food use hip-hop. But when it first started, people thought
it was just a fad, and it wasn't taken seriously enough for records
to get the proper treatment. Then it was just seen a hit-driven
industry, and the thought was that people didn't care about rap
albums like they did Dark Side of the Moon.'
On the
clever hunch that rap nerds are some of the geekiest kitsch
collectors out there, since last year Get On Down has dropped
re-issues of classics from acts ranging from Biz Markie to Wu-Tang
Clan. The boutique label also traffics in hard-to-find funk and soul
– their extensive catalogue features rare gems, on vinyl and CD,
from the likes of Muddy Waters and Bernie Worrell – but their
blowout deluxe editions have mostly been homages to rap wonders that
warrant canonization.
the music industry went through a gigantic sea change, and when
file-sharing became really rampant, a lot of companies saw physical
releases as a way of the past," says Welch. "We felt the opposite
– that people really want to connect with music more than just
through a thumbnail on their desktop, and that they want something
they can read, and hold in their hands. We've gotten great feedback
so far – people feel like these projects are finally getting the
justice they deserved the first time around."
| Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (10"
Purple Vinyl)
Get On
Down's best-selling item so far, the limited edition reissue of the
Raekwon's purple debut cassette – complete with a lacquer display
box and 36-page hardcover book – sold out in just a day. The good
news, however, is that there's still time to cop the equally purple
10" vinyl version. If that doesn't scratch your Wu-Tang itch, then
check for their essential collectible editions of GZA's Liquid
Swords, Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers,
and, coming soon, Ghostface Killah's Ironman (and I'm not just
saying that because I wrote the liner notes for all three).
Boys | Fat Boys (10"
Pizza Vinyl)
Price: $29.98
Considering the lyrical and culinary tomfoolery throughout this first
Fat Boys album – and in all of their music, really – it's not so
ridiculous that Get On Down delivered this meal in a pizza box. With
custom pepperoni vinyl that looks real enough to eat, the set also
comes with a download card so you don't have to scratch this
shelf-worthy specimen. There's also a 20-page booklet to chew on,
plus digital access to rare interviews with the original crew.
Nu Mark | Broken Sunlight (needle
glory of a USB release is the sheer amount of material that an artist
can jam onto a thumb drive. Former Jurassic 5 DJ and traveling
turntable showman Nu Mark takes advantage of the malleable medium,
loading much more than just his debut studio project onto this disc
disguised as a headshell. In addition to original tracks with the
likes of Freddie Foxxx and Large Professor, this special run Broken
Sunlight features a capellas, clean versions, pics, instrumentals,
and even bonus beats. And for hardcore DJ heads, there's a download
link to an hour-long peek at the making of Broken Sunlight, and
live show footage including clips from Nu's widely heralded Playing
With Toys shenanigans.
| Illmatic (Gold
the greatest rap album ever crafted, Illmatic resurfaces
through Get On Down in an even iller incarnation, if that's even
possible. The gold CD is worth the bragging rights on its own merit;
in addition to the glisten, the gilded pressing makes for the highest
possible quality transmission. Also, unlike prior Illmatic
reissues, this time Nas fans get a 48-page tome with lyrics, photos,
and liner notes to set the mood for this trip down memory lane.

by James Rollins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Awesome read!! I can't wait for the third Jake Ransome adventure now!!
Could you live forever?
Would you live forever?
it was good not spectacular enough for me to remember much about it other then alot of fighting, moving around, unneeded killings etc.
In his latest addition to the series, James Rollins, picks up right where the last book left off. This time Grey, Seichan, and Kowalski are sent to Somalia, in search of the President's daughter who has been kidnapped. Along the way they pick up two new characters, Tucker Wayne - a former Army Ranger, and the comabt dog he trained, Kane. Like all of his novels, Rollins, sends the Sigma Force operatives on quite the roller coaster ride, throwing in copious amounts of real world science. While you can probably guess that they will complete their mission, how they get there is always a surprise.
I never thought I would rate a Sigma Force novels only 3 stars, but I guess you just never know. The newest characters, just didn't work for me. I really wanted to like Tucker and Kane, but they just fell flat to me. And while I love animals and love reading about all the amazing things that they can accomplish, when I had read the story from Kane's point of view, it just killed the momentum for me. Don't even get me started on how many times we had to hear about their amazing bond.
The plot itself wasn't bad, though I didn't enjoy it as much of some of the others. I was quite grateful, however, for finally getting to heart of who The Guild is, where they came from, and what their goals are. Learning more of Seichan's history was another huge bonus. I'm looking forward to finding out what she discovers in future books.
In all it was a good book, though it never compelled me to pick it back up. I've gotten used to James Rollins writing an above average thriller, and this one unfortunately wasn't. It however won't keep me from reading the next Sigma Force novel as soon as it's ready.
Started July 21st, 2013.
Bloody start. Gripping. Very interesting scenes with a trained dog from the dog's perspective.
As I have not read all books in the Sigma-series, rather only few, I cannot say for sure, that all mysteries are solved, but we get to know a lot.
Nefarious plans are revealed.
Entirely satisfying, fast paced, very good descriptions of different scenes (underwater, in caves etc), fights and places.
While the end is too good for my taste - at least one of the main characters should have died, to prove they are not immortal (no pun intended),
the solutions and the back-story of the Guild are very well written.
Warning: one theme may disturb some readers, this book is not for the squeamish! The horrors described are very real.
Page-turner - highly recommended, as far as I remember from the ones I read from Rollins it is the best one.

The best thing Phillipsburg, NJ has going for it is that it has riverfront land that's directly across from Easton, PA, whose downtown has been doing pretty well in recent years. The more this area becomes one town in the minds of residents and tourists, the better off Phillipsburg is going to be.
To that end, constructing a nice riverside trail along the Delaware that merges with trails on the PA side is a great public investment. This will make the waterfront land more desirable, increasing the value of the land, and making development of the area across the river from Easton a more lucrative investment:
Phillipsburg is looking to install a trail along the Delaware River with hopes of expanding it into Pennsylvania.
Engineer Stanley Schrek appeared before council earlier this month to announce developer Michael Perrucci granted the town permission to cut a trail through his property along Howard Street.
"We've envisioned for quite a long time a walkable trail that would begin at the boat ramp and extend all the way through the town," Schrek said. "If we do that, we're the only town in Warren County that has a continual trail along the entire (Morris) canal bed."
David Foster also has a nice quote from Sal Panto showing he gets it, as usual:
Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr. said he is in favor of the idea.
"Anything we can do to connect more municipalities to trails makes it a more attractive quality of life for people to move here," Panto said. "We have some great natural scenery."
Panto said he has talked with Wyant about the communities connecting with passenger rail service, trails or a joint river festival.
"We're really one community separated by water," Panto said.

Try a hypothetical. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had its première in 1808 and was performed nine times. Then the theatre burned down and all copies of the score were destroyed. The composer never went back to it. Seventy years later, Beethoven is dead, and everyone laments the loss of this acclaimed composition. You are a music historian, and you decide to try to reconstruct the score. There are many small bits of evidence. You know the keys, the durations. You have some reviews. You have some sketches by Beethoven—for example, a four-note theme, three G's and an E-flat. You track down a few people who attended the première. They are very old, but they tell you whatever they can remember. You go back to your room, sit down at the piano, and try to piece the symphony together. The composition you produce—how close would it be to Beethoven's Fifth?
In the late seventies, Millicent Hodson, a doctoral candidate in dance history at Berkeley, set out, as part of her dissertation project, to reconstruct Nijinsky's "The Rite of Spring," which had its première with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris, in 1913. It was for this ballet that Stravinsky wrote his shattering score, and the action onstage was apparently no less a surprise. The spectators were shown an ancient Slavic tribe, at the beginning of spring, calling on their gods to renew the earth—a concession won, in the end, by human sacrifice. At the ballet's conclusion, a young girl danced herself to death. The choreography was aggressively anti-balletic. The dancers stood hunched over, turned in. They shuddered; they stamped. In the words of Nijinsky's sister, Bronislava, they seemed "almost bestial."
The audience reacted on cue, producing Paris's most cherished theatrical riot. The police had to be called. If that wasn't enough to insure the ballet's notoriety, there was Nijinsky's personal story. He may have been the greatest ballet dancer of the last century. In any case, he was ballet's first modernist choreographer. In his twenties, he made a series of ballets that challenged academic dance as Picasso, around the same time, was challenging painting. Of those works, only the first, "The Afternoon of a Faun," is extant. A few months after the première of "The Rite of Spring," his third ballet, Nijinsky deserted Diaghilev (his lover) and married. Diaghilev fired him. Nijinsky went mad. In 1919, at the age of twenty-nine, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic, and he did not work—indeed, he rarely spoke—for the remaining thirty years of his life.
The score of "The Rite" survived, but the ballet, after nine performances in 1913, was never given again. People remembered it almost with fear. Jacques Rivière wrote that it analyzed human beings down to "germ layers, zones, circles, placentas." (Nijinsky said the same thing: "It is the life of the stones and the trees. There are no human beings in it.") It was hideous, Rivière said, and stupendous: it "alters the very source of all our aesthetic judgments."
Hodson had only little pieces of evidence, but she had lots of them. There were three backstage photos, together with a series of pencil sketches made by an artist in the audience. There was Stravinsky's rehearsal score, which noted entrances and exits, and also a score, marked by Nijinsky's assistant, that indicated certain movements, in broad terms ("They have arrived hopping," "They stop suddenly"). There were many surviving reviews, plus a letter from Bronislava Nijinska detailing, fifty-odd years after the fact, the death-dance of the sacrificial maiden. (That dance was set on her. Then she got pregnant and had to pull out of the ballet.) This was nowhere near enough to reconstruct a thirty-six-minute ballet that had a cast of forty-six dancers. Still, Hodson soldiered on, and eventually she acquired a partner: Kenneth Archer, an English art historian who was doing research on Nicholas Roerich, the Russian painter who designed "The Rite." Hodson and Archer combined their findings, got married, and went on working, she on the dance, he on the sets and costumes. In 1987, their "Rite of Spring" was given its première, in Los Angeles, by the Joffrey Ballet.
And it was a dud. Instead of looking like modernist primitivism—a dance that altered the very source of all our aesthetic judgments—it just looked like stage primitivism: tame, folkloric. Was this the effect of time? Had we seen too many Brian de Palma movies to be shocked by "The Rite of Spring"? Maybe, but if you look at "Nude Descending a Staircase" it still packs something of the punch that people felt when they first saw it at the Armory Show in 1913, the same year that "The Rite" premièred. By contrast, the Hodson-Archer "Rite" bore a distinct resemblance to "I'm an Indian, Too."
Hodson and Archer went on to reconstruct works by other choreographers, but they soon returned to Nijinsky. There were two other lost ballets by him: "Jeux" (1913) and "Till Eulenspiegel" (1916). According to some witnesses, these were his least successful efforts, and there was even less evidence for them than for "The Rite." No matter—Hodson and Archer went to work. Their version of "Till" was given its première by the Paris Opera Ballet in 1994; their "Jeux" by the Teatro Filarmonico of the Arena di Verona in 1996. Last month, these two productions, plus "The Rite," were given at the Rome Opera—the first time all three of the Hodson-Archer Nijinsky disinterments were shown on a single bill—and the "Jeux" and "Till" were such as to make you newly appreciative of "The Rite."
"Jeux" was Nijinsky's "tennis ballet." Three young people—a man (Nijinsky) and two women, all in tennis clothes—chase a ball into a clearing, and there, for eighteen minutes, they conduct a three-way flirtation. (The women are as taken with each other as they are with the man.) Then another tennis ball flies in, and they run off. As the surviving photographs show, the three dancers got themselves into some curious configurations, and their dancing combined straight ballet with sports maneuvers and a great deal of miscellaneous awkwardness, including fisted hands—"as one maimed from birth," said Nijinsky's friend Tamara Karsavina, who danced in the original ballet and did not like it.
"Jeux" has gone down in history as a prophetic ballet. In its use of sport and bisexuality and a sort of private, our-club language, it seemed to predict the youth culture of the twenties, still a war away. In its mixing of academic dance with the postures of modern life, it is said to have ushered in the so-called neoclassical ballet of the later twentieth century. The piece had a newness, a coolness, an atmosphere of the future.
What it didn't have was more than a few performances. Its traces were therefore very faint. Hodson used everything she could lay her hands on. She read books on tennis; she watched period newsreels. She found a quote from Nijinsky saying that modern man was defined by his dances, "the tango and the turkey trot." Presto! In went a tango and a turkey trot. What she knew—for example, the bisexuality—she beefed up like mad, from what I can tell. (At the end of her version, the dancers flee as if they were being pursued by the vice squad.) What she didn't know, she filled in, and that's the way the ballet looks. It has no through-line; it goes nowhere.
And then there was "Till." Nijinsky, in his previous ballets, had analyzed his medium, tried to find out what it could be if he released it from formula. In "Till," his fourth and last work, he did not. The ballet tells the story of Till Eulenspiegel, the legendary German trickster (played by Nijinsky) who, one medieval day in the Brunswick market square, mocks the rich folk, rouses the poor to rebellion, and finally is hanged, only to return in spirit. "Till" was less a ballet than a mime-drama, and not a particularly original one. Why would Nijinsky, the foremost experimental choreographer in Western ballet, produce this Robin Hood remake—and one in which dance, his former subject, was so negligible? There are several possibilities. One, he was now working without the help of Diaghilev, whose support was probably essential to the boldness of his earlier works. Two, at that point he was wrapped up in the philosophy of Leo Tolstoy, who had claimed that all art should be plain and clear, and serve the downtrodden. Three, he may already have been half mad.
Nijinsky later said that "Till" was no good. Was he wrong? We'll never know, because the evidence is so paltry. There were many reviews, but, as usual, they described events, not steps. There were a number of photos, and two surviving witnesses, both corps dancers, from the original cast. Hodson interviewed one of them, Valentina Kachouba, in 1989, and says she got some valuable information. I, too, coincidentally, spoke to Kachouba in 1989. She was more than ninety years old. She told me that "Till" was performed only once. (It was performed twenty-three times.) She described how rushed the rehearsal process was and how much of the piece, in consequence, was improvised. "There was no choreography," she said. "Nijinsky was the only one who danced, and he, too, improvised." He probably improvised wonderfully. One reviewer, H. T. Parker, of the Boston Evening Transcript, found in the ballet "the triumph of an idea and a temperament in perpetual symbol." Amid the frantic hubbub of Hodson's reconstruction—dancers waving scarves, stealing apples, trying to look like medieval market-goers—you would have been hard put to find a symbol. It was difficult enough to follow the story.
You have to give Hodson and Archer credit. They do not produce know-nothing reconstructions. They have ideas; they form hypotheses. "Jeux," to them, was Nijinsky's "Bloomsbury ballet." "Till," Hodson says, was "expressionist theatre." They believe that Nijinsky practiced a strict economy: that for each ballet he established a body posture and used it as the basis for the whole dance. They also feel that choreography can be derived from visual evidence—photographs, costume sketches. One should notice, however, the extent to which such hypotheses serve their needs. In the absence of choreographic evidence, it is not inconvenient to believe that the dance was ruled by a non-dance idea (Bloomsbury, Expressionism); that all the choreography was based on one stance; and that choreography is derived from visual materials, which are far more likely to survive than dance evidence.
Finally, what is so depressing about the Hodson-Archer Nijinsky reconstructions is their indifference to dance as an autonomous art form, with its own logic. If Stravinsky's score for "The Rite of Spring" had been lost, would Hodson and Archer deduce it from the set design? If there was no trace of the set design, would they reconstruct it from the score? If not, then how can dance be derived from non-dance evidence? Hodson, in her 1996 book, "Nijinsky's Crime Against Grace," says that for a long section of "The Rite"—a circle dance for the women—she had the floor pattern and the timing. She was missing only one thing: "How do the maidens walk? The exact step is not recorded." The exact step—in other words, the choreography.
Hodson and Archer have tried at times to indicate that their evidence was less than could be wished for. In a recent interview, Archer said, " 'Jeux' is a reconstruction 'after Nijinsky.' It is not a reconstruction of Nijinsky. We feel it is very important to say that." It was not important enough, however, for him to get the Rome Opera to say that. The program credits for all three ballets read "choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky" and "choreographic reconstruction" by Millicent Hodson. No "after," no caveats. If Hodson and Archer are concerned to let us know that some of this dancing has been supplied by them, the companies they work for are not. Ballet is in the dumps right now. Company directors, to defend their budgets, desperately need something to inspire the feature writers and get the box-office phones ringing. For this purpose it is hard to imagine anything more useful than a "rediscovery" of the lost works of Vaslav Nijinsky, that mad genius, that extinguished flame—the van Gogh of ballet. And if it can be suggested that those works were not just lost but banished, because they were subversive, anti-establishment (Hodson has a theory that "The Rite of Spring" was purposely suppressed), all the better. Who could object to the vindication of this brave artist? Not the journalists. "NIJINSKY WORK REBORN" ran the headline in the International Herald Tribune as Hodson and Archer unveiled their "Till," in 1994.
Now, it seems, the resurrection is complete, but perhaps not. In 1919, after Nijinsky had begun to go seriously crazy—after he started wandering the streets exhorting people to go to church—he gave one last performance, in a hotel sitting room in Saint-Moritz. According to his wife, he sat down in front of the members of the audience and stared at them for what seemed a half hour. Then he berated them for having failed to prevent the First World War. Then he launched into a violent solo, presumably improvised, and eventually stopped, whereupon the spectators—some of them "in a state of nerves," according to one witness—hurried off into the night. It was recently announced that Hodson and Archer would "soon première 'Nijinsky's Last Dance,' based on his final solo from 1919." Before, you could say that they were doing their best. But "Nijinsky's Last Dance"? This is starting to look like a racket. ♦

At home, at work in music-rich Trem�
'Trombone Shorty' Andrews takes a shine to neighborhood that nourished his career
By Edna Gundersen
NEW ORLEANS � Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews strolls along the northern edge of Louis Armstrong Park toward a small ramshackle house at 1508 Dumaine St., where he spent his grade-school years.
"I must have walked around this park 3,000 times," says the 21-year-old, 5-foot-11 horn player, who outgrew his nickname years ago.
His new black Chevy Tahoe, with a built-in PlayStation, seems out of place parked on this rundown street in Trem�, a poor black neighborhood known for producing many of the city's top jazz artists and brass bands.
"We can't let Trem� fade away," says Andrews, who, despite a career that has taken him to gigs around the globe and a more posh address in the French Quarter, continues to visit these streets almost weekly in hopes of sparking a musical resurgence. Hurricane Katrina swamped Trem� two years ago, and residents have been slow to return.
"Only half my friends are back in town," Andrews says. "Some can't afford it, because a lot of landlords did the price-gouging thing. Folks who don't live in Trem� make a point to come around here just to show support."
Andrews feels deeply indebted to the musical hotbed that nourished his talent.
A superstar on New Orleans' crowded stage, Trombone Shorty is emerging from the tall shadow of Louis Armstrong, earning comparisons with the late legend's showmanship, technical skills and charisma. In 2005, Lenny Kravitz enlisted Andrews to join his world tour. In 2006, he performed with U2 and Green Day at the reopening of the Superdome. Later that year, he played O Holy Night on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, drawing so much reaction that NBC released the song as a free download. This year, OffBeat magazine anointed him performer of the year. He's winding up a U.S tour with his funk/pop/rap ensemble, Orleans Avenue, promoting his album Orleans & Claiborne.
Geography and genetics, he says, played key roles in his success. His mentor was older brother James, a renowned trumpeter dubbed "Satchmo of the ghetto." Brother Buster, a snare drummer in the Little Rascals brass band, nurtured him, as did legions of players in nearby homes.
"Drummer Junkyard Dog lived across the street," Andrews says. "ReBirth Brass Band was based around the corner. Everybody took it upon themselves to raise the kids in the neighborhood. They made sure I stayed off drugs. They said, 'Learn. Play everything. Be like Prince. Have all the influences.' Some of my friends are in jail or dead, but I got steered right. James said the horn would be my passport to the world."
As Andrews ambles north, passers-by who recognize him begin to gather at a vacant lot near the I-10 overpass at North Claiborne Avenue. On the way, he points out a shuttered store, formerly Claude's Grocery.
"I was the youngest person to have credit there," he says, recalling his days as a 6-year-old bandleader. "Before that, I started on a plastic saxophone and a tiny trumpet, then on old horns my brother gave me. When we didn't have instruments, we'd march down the street with cardboard boxes and plastic soda bottles, pretending to be brass bands."
A proficient trombonist by first grade, Andrews was a club fixture before he started high school. In eighth grade, he auditioned for the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (alumni include Harry Connick Jr., Nicholas Payton and Marsalis brothers Wynton and Branford) and was admitted a year early.
"I learned to read music, orchestrate, write scores," he says. "Now I feel like I'm able to jump on stage with anyone."
At the empty lot, Andrews high-fives cousin Derrick Tabb, ReBirth's snare drummer, and takes a seat at a spindly shoeshine stand, where he has been getting a polish "ever since I had shoes." Soon, it's a family outing. His dad, James "Big 12" Andrews, arrives with an uncle, trumpeter "Big Glen" Andrews, Derrick's father. Another cousin, Little Rascals leader Terrence Andrews, drifts in as assorted pals gather.
The stand's proprietor, Arthur "Town Taker" Landry, has been on this block since 1948 and didn't budge when Katrina struck. "My stand floated away," he says. "I saw bodies float down Claiborne."
Landry rebuilt his stand, but post-Katrina business has been slow. "I still refuse to leave," he says defiantly. So Andrews still stops by: "It was T.T. who kept saying, 'You better never stop playing.' "
Such encouragement sustained him when older brother Darnell was fatally shot at 17 while riding his bicycle (inspiring the New Birth Brass Band song D-Boy).
Back in his SUV, Andrews points out the block where trumpeter Kermit Ruffins fired up his barbecue truck and treated the neighborhood to ribs and music. Nearby on Marais sits the faded husk of The Shop, a rehearsal hall Andrews' mother, Lois, managed when he was a boy. At St. Philip and North Robertson is the former site of the long-defunct Caldonia nightclub, which his mom revived from 1990-97 as the Trombone Shorty Club.
Over a lunch of fried catfish and collard greens at The Praline Connection in Marigny, Andrews reflects on how his roots, experience and streak of youthful experimentation have shaped him.
"I embrace everything," he says. "Some cats say, 'He sold out. He's not keeping it real.' I am jazz. It's part of my life, but my musical journey is far beyond that. I want to teach young people not to be afraid of horns. I found a way to make everything fit � the jazz, high-energy funk-rock and a little hip-hop."
Andrews' influences range from Crescent City jazz pioneers and his brass-band neighbors to Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, U2 and John Mayer. He credits his hometown, and especially Trem�'s cultural community, for enriching his skills and igniting his soul.
"There's nowhere else you can have people like Allen Toussaint, the Marsalis family and The Meters as your teachers," he says. "I can call them and say, 'I need you to show me how to lay this funk groove down,' and 10 minutes later, I'll be at their house."

Autocross pivots or 360's;what are your proven techniques?
I have tried these a few different ways with mixed success.(only my second time A/Xing))The course I have been to has two of them,one is at the far end of a long section, 180 degree direction change and the approach is wide open second gear(40mph),optional left or right.I have tried hard on the brakes,into first gear,turn and accelerate out.I have tried going wide in second gear going as tight as the understeer will allow me and lastly,the old parking brake slide-in skidding tight,turning and accelerate out.The fastest seems to be hard braking into first gear and turn,but when I ask around,I get lots of variations on all three styles as answers. The second pivot is a 360 degree with lots of room to be creative,but more like 30mph.It seems like the fastest cars go into the corner in first,turn and accelerate out,but they are rear wheel drive with serious HP.I am on the verge of doing a Torsen just for the fact there does not seem to be a "fast" way for me to take these without feeling like I'm pulling into Grannys driveway.Any tips from the veterans?

Philippines: New human trafficking investigation procedures aim to improve conviction rates
( UNODC ) - The Philippines National Police (PNP) have adopted a comprehensive manual on how to handle trafficking in persons investigations, in an effort to improve conviction rates of traffickers.
Developed with assistance from UNODC, the Standard Operating Procedures: Trafficking in Persons Investigations is a step-by-step guide for front-line investigators and their supervisors. It outlines standardized operational planning procedures and teaches risk assessment, management of victims, and the use of special investigation tools and techniques to pursue and investigate TIP.
A key objective of the manual is to ensure a consistent police response to human trafficking and the preparation of cases that lead to the successful prosecution of offenders.
Prior to the Manual, the absence of a standard operating procedure for trafficking in persons made it difficult for officers and prosecutors to build an airtight case. This resulted in low conviction rates for trafficking in persons cases.
To address these issues, the PNP - with support from UNODC, the Philippine Centre on Transnational Crime (PCTC) and the Embassy of Japan - created a Technical Working Group to develop a manual of standard operating procedures to investigate human trafficking cases in the Philippines. The objective was to provide a consistent response to trafficking that would strengthen future investigations, allow for national-level supervision of local human trafficking-related investigations - and have a significant impact on human trafficking in the Philippines by leading to more effective and consistent investigations.
The TWG's manual of standard operating procedures was approved for use in mid-January by Philippine National Police, Chief Superintendent Mr. Francisco Don C. Montenegro.
TWG partner Philippine Centre of Transnational Crime (PCTC) is hopeful that the Manual will have a positive impact on human trafficking investigations as front-line Philippine National Police officers begin to use the standard operating procedures nation-wide.
"I am very optimistic that we can improve human trafficking investigations with these Standard Operating Procedures for Trafficking in Persons Investigations," said Mr. USEC Felizardo M. Serapio, Jr. Executive Director of the PCTC. "It is now our challenge to cascade the implementation to our front liners so they are more capable and knowledgeable."

New Electrical /Installing cealing fan...helpppp
I am trying to install a new ceiling fan, Just built a second level on the house and the electrical is new to rough finish.
I had the electrian run the wires to the house 2 switches so that the light was on one switch and the fan on the other . I started to hook the fan up and realized the the light having 2 (hot wires) 1 for the fan and 1 for the light but there is only one commen wire can I connect the 2 commen from the box to the ceiling fan or do I have to piggy back the one commen from the ceiling fan first
Only in la-la land ....
The fan/light should have 4 wires total. Blue for the light power, black for the fan power, white for the neutral for BOTH the fan and light and a bare ground wire.
In your switch box, how many wires are there? chances are there will be one of the following scenerios:
(in switchbox)
3 sets of cables, 1 will be the incoming power (always hot), 1 will go to the light and the other will go to the fan
2 sets of cables, both being switch loops and the power source will be at the fan/light box
1 cable, switch loop to control JUST the fan OR the light OR both at the same time.
#4)2 sets of cables, 1 being the incoming power the other being 3 wire (plus ground) and having a red wire also, where the red would go to the light and the black would go to the fan, or vice versa
#5)1 cable with 3 wires (plus ground) being a switchloop just liek #2, but with 1 more wire (red) for the switch loop for the either the fan or light.
keep in mind when I say cable, that means there are 3 wires in each cable - 1 black, 1 white, 1 bare ground and 4 wires in the *3 wire* cable, 1 black, 1 red, 1 white and 1 bare ground.
Do any of these situations sound like it? It would be really helpful to know how many and what color wires are in both the switchbox and the fan/light box in the ceiling.
Yes the white (common) is for the fan AND the light. Blue lead from fan should be light, black for fan, white for neutral, green for ground.
You should not have two commons from the fan.
Thank you everyone I got it installed

Anyone who has seen Japan's Osaka Monaurail live can testify to their mighty force onstage. Easily one of the best modern funk acts around. And while I pine for a new studio album from them (despite a couple of nice side projects, their last studio album proper was 2006's excellent "Reality For The People"), this does serve as an excellent showcase of what the band are capable of and a nice memento for fans to take home from a gig. In fact I'd also recommend their first live album, 2005's "Eyewitness To The…" a powerful set of live grooves.
"Live In Spain" is a CD only album, which may annoy vinylheads, however it comes with a bonus DVD with live performance clips and some nice behind the scenes tour footage too. Together with the CD, a perfect showcase for one of the worlds' #1 funk bands.

While voters assess the stark contrast between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney over health care reform, a sea change is already underway in the workplace as employers scramble for affordable ways to offer health insurance to their workers.
A new survey by the business consulting firm Aon Hewitt finds that "consumer-driven health plans," or CDHPs, have overtaken health maintenance organizations, or HMOs, as the second most popular health plan offered by U.S. employers. While preferred provider organizations, or PPOs, still dominate with 79 percent of employers offering them last year, 58 percent of the 2,000 U.S. employers surveyed now offer CDHPs, while just 38 percent offer HMOs.
Haven't heard of consumer-driven health plans? You may know them as high-deductible health savings accounts (HSAs) or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs).
Their warmer, egalitarian-sounding name (with the word "consumer" in there) is preferred on the campaign trail this election cycle. The health care reform plank of the Republican platform recommends them, and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney singled them out for expansion when he signed the Massachusetts health care reform legislation in 2006.
Caught between the recession and the rising cost of health insurance, a growing number of employers now offer HSAs and HRAs as sort of a gateway plan to whatever comes next under health care reform.
Employees, however, have been less enthusiastic about CDHPs. The survey found that 7 in 10 workers prefer PPOs rather than risk the potentially heavy out-of-pockets of a high-deductible plan. So to sweeten the deal, roughly a third of employers surveyed either subsidize premiums, cover preventive medications before the deductible, or contribute directly to employee HSAs and HRAs.
Conservatives maintain that rampant overuse of health care services has led to the skyrocketing cost of health care and that the only way to reverse the trend is for consumers to take more responsibility for their health. Certainly the obesity epidemic would seem to support this position.
But is (cost) shifting the nation to high-deductible accounts the answer?
A recent study published in the journal Medical Care found that employees who contributed to their own HSA were more likely to moderate their use of health care services than those with employer-paid HSAs. The researchers noted that having "skin in the game" significantly altered whether an employee seeks care.
But that study also expressed concern that if employees skip routine exams and avoid early detection screenings for cost reasons, consumer-driven health plans could have a negative impact on public health.
What's your diagnosis and treatment for America's ailing health care system? Would we all be better off with consumer-driven health plans?

Parents often ask what they can do to help keep their children from getting sick. One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection is proper hand washing.
At home or work, wash your hands often and properly. Teach your children to do the same at home, at school and at daycare.
Hands should be washed often – more frequently than most people do. Because bacteria and other germs cannot be seen with the naked eye, they can be anywhere. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand washing is especially important when:

Date of Stay: August, 2007
We have stayed here twice. Pretty much your average Yukon RV park, but the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the RV Park is for sale. Please check with them before planning a trip.
Date of Stay: February, 2006
The $10 per night reflects the monthly rate of $290 per month. We were here for three months (Dec, Jan, Feb). The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. The only drawback were the freight trains that could be heard every day and most nights. We recommend the park.
Date of Stay: November, 2005
These are owner-owned sites that are rented out to the public, and are very nicely landscaped. However, for the past several years their website and advertising shows a rec room. They have a very small area in the office for functions, but construction on the actual rec room still has not started. Staff very friendly.

I've been using Reishi mushroom to boost my immune system, and the results speak for themselves. I haven't been sick in more than a year since I've been using it. If you want to be healthy naturally, I recommend this.

Good for respiratory support
Posted by huck03 on Aug 05, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I have asthma. I take two a day, along with Holy Basil, for respiratory support. While the Holy Basil is what gives me the most relief, I do notice a difference in ease of breathing when NOT taking the reishi as well. I've also noticed increased immunity. However, I've noticed NO difference in mood or cholesterol levels (other areas in which reishi is supposed to improve) in the many months I've been using this product. Still, it's worth using for what it does do!

Mac users have been waiting years for Google's Talk application to come to the Apple platform. Likewise, Google Apps users have been waiting for a cross platform Skype-like program to audio and perhaps video chat in their browser.
As of today, both groups of users have something to celebrate. Google Video Chat is live... go get it now.
The install is a simple 2.4 megabyte download that installs plugins for your browser.
After installation you must restart your browser(s). Initially I was the only one to be able to use this feature (I am a premier Apps customer). However, throughout the day more and more of my Google contacts have been getting the little green icon (see below in the upper left corner).
After reopening your browser, you won't really notice anything different until you go into Gmail and look at your Google Talk contacts. Those who have also installed the Google Video Chat plug-in will have a different icon next to their name. This works very similarly to iChat. Those who only have audio don't have the video camera link.
One you get chatting, it works pretty much like iChat or Skype. The latency is about the same and the quality is somewhere between Skype and iChat - which is better than I thought I'd see in a web app.
Google Video chat is based in Flash so make sure you have the latest and greatest version of Flash on your computer.
There are some hiccups as you'd expect from a first run product from Google. The camera switching between apps didn't function as smoothly as I would have liked. I had to restart Firefox to get it to "let go" of the camera, so I could use iChat again to video conference.
Overall, though, this is an incredibly solid product and adds a world of value to the already "steal of a deal" Google Apps suite. And it is also nice as a Mac user to be on par (Google Talk-wise) with our PC brethren. Now when will we see Chrome?

Target was just named the "2010 Mobile Retailer of the Year" by Mobile Commerce Daily (see article). Hard to believe eBay wasn't in the top three with their anticipated $1.5B revenue on the mobile channel this year, but they won last year. This speaks to the fact that it isn't just about revenue. In fact, among companies we've surveyed, offering convenient services to customers to engage them more, improve satisfaction and loyalty, etc. top the list of near-term objectives. If the services aren't convenient (see research), consumers will not adopt and use the services. If this doesn't happen, companies won't see the revenue growth or cost savings they are anticipating.
One of the top questions I get from clients is, "Who is best in class?" Any of these three retailers could take that honor. What really impresses me about Target is their breadth of innovative services, the quality of the experience, and to top it off . . . they sell to mainstream America. My favorite service: building a shopping list with the bar-code-scanning technology. Remember that example we've all heard about the smart refrigerator? You remove and throw the empty milk carton out, and "milk" is automatically added to your shopping list. This doesn't do that exactly, but it comes closer than any other application I know. There is also tremendous consistency in experience from online to mobile Web to the applications -- at times, it is so good that it's indistinguishable.

Here is a preseason look at City Series football for the 2007 season. In this post, you will find players (and any all-star recognition they received in the league last season) to watch from each team and my predictions for the upcoming season.
ELLET (8-2 overall, 5-0 in the City Series last season; City Series co-champs).
Top players: senior OL Tyler Dunagin (first-team All-City and honorable-mention all-district in Division III), senior RB Paris Wicks (first-team offense), senior LB-QB Chad Keppler (first-team defense), senior DL Branson Price (first-team defense), senior LB Aaron Byard (second-team defense), junior LB Travis Hamad.
BUCHTEL (6-4, 5-0; City Series co-champs)
Top players: sophomore DB-RB Solomon Griffin (first-team defense), senior DB-WR (now QB) Johnny Adams (second-team defense, special-mention All-Ohio in Division III).
Top players: senior RB Darshawn Thomas (first-team offense), senior DL-OL DeAndre Tucker (first-team defense), senior QB Trevor Kennedy (second-team offense), junior OL-DL Richard Barucci (second-team offense), senior LB-TE Alex Paul (second-team defense).
Top players: senior DL Whitney Mercilous (first-team defense and second team all-district in Division II), senior DB-WR Jerome Beasley (first-team defense), senior Garrick Twitty (first-team defense), sophomore DB-RB Tyson Gulley (second-team defense), junior OL-LB Laimere Latson (second-team offense).
Top players: senior LB Shomari Akhdar (first-team defense), senior LB-FB Demetrius Bentley (second-team defense), senior DL-OL Mark Humphrey (second-team defense).
Top player: senior RB-DB Larry Dawson (second-team defense).
Top player: senior LB-RB Thomas Cheairs.
Now that you have a feel for which players are returning this year, here are my predictions for how the City Series standings will look at the end of the 2007 season.
1. Buchtel
2. Firestone
3. Ellet
4. Garfield
5. East
6. North
7. Kenmore
Here is my explanation for my picks: Buchtel is always a force to be reckoned with in the City Series, and I think the Griffins' excitement to play for legendary running back Ricky Powers in his first year as head coach will translate to success. Also, I think Soloman Griffin is a special player. He earned accolades for his defense last season, but he's also an excellent running back with big-play potential.
I think Firestone will continue to improve in coach Tim Flossie's second year with the Falcons. After the Falcons failed to win a game for two consecutive seasons, Flossie led them to a 4-6 record last year (and they had a winning record in league play: 3-2). Senior Darshawn Thomas had the best 2006 season of any of the City Series running backs. Thomas rushed for 1,126 yards and eight touchdowns on 211 carries.
I think Ellet will be very good, too. The Orangemen should have a dynamic offense with senior quarterback Chad Keppler and senior running back Paris Wicks returning. Travis Hamad and Aaron Byard should bring stability to the defense as inside linebackers in a 4-4 system. However, I think Firestone has a legitimate shot to beat Ellet. The Orangemen beat the Falcons 16-7 last season.
Garfield will have a tough defense, but its offense seems questionable. After a .500 record last year, East will need younger players to step up because it graduated several key seniors, including last year's City Series Player of the Year - quarterback Kenny Hicks. I think North will improve because senior running back Larry Dawson is good enough to carry the Vikings if he stays healthy. Kenmore has a lot to prove after going winless last season.
What do you think of these predictions? If you agree let me know. If you disagree let me know and give me your predicted finish ... and hurry because the season begins next Thursday.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., AUGUST 8 -- Factors that inhibit the brain'snatural self-healing process and that may offer new insights into howto prevent brain damage in premature babies have been identified by ateam of researchers supported in part by the March of Dimes.
The research is published online today in Nature Medicine.
StephenA. Back, M.D., Ph.D., an Associate Professor of Pediatrics andNeurology at the Oregon Health & Science University School ofMedicine, Portland, and colleagues identified some of the key factorsthat prevent brain damage repair in premature babies and patients withmultiple sclerosis (MS) or certain other neurological diseases. Theirfindings offer important clues about why the nervous systems fails torepair itself and suggest that some forms of brain damage could bereversed.
Dr. Back, who studies developmental brain injury in premature infants,previously found a link between damage to white matter in the brainassociated with premature birth, and damage to immature cells in thebrain and spinal cord, called oligodendrocyte progenitors. These cellsnormally mature to become oligodendrocytes that make myelin (theinsulating sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the brain and spinalcord) throughout life. In some cases, these cells fail to mature andcannot repair damage to the white matter of the brain.
The white matter is made up of long nerve fibers wrapped in myelin.Different kinds of white matter injury cause cerebral palsy andlearning problems in children born prematurely, and MS in olderchildren and adults. Dr. Back and his colleagues found that hyaluronicacid (HA) prevent immature oligodendrocytes from maturing and coatingnerve fibers with new myelin. Astrocytes, the first-responders to nervedamage in the brain, produce HA, which accumulates on nerve fiberswhere myelin is missing.
"Preterm birth can interrupt the normal myelination process. Therefore,this report may help to explain the brain damage seen in prematurebabies, some of whom have cerebral palsy," said Michael Katz, M.D.,Senior Vice President for Research and Global Programs at the March ofDimes, which is supporting Dr. Back. "Until we find the answers topreventing prematurity, research such as this may lead us to new waysto prevent brain damage and has the potential to improve the lives ofthousands of infants."
Prematurity is the leading killer of America's newborns and hasincreased 29 percent since 1981. More than 470,000 babies are bornprematurely each year in the United States. Premature babies often dieor suffer lifelong consequences, including cerebral palsy, mentalretardation, chronic lung disease, blindness, and hearing loss.
According to research conducted by the National Institute ofChild Health and Human Development, 25 percent of extremely prematurebabies have neurological problems at 18 to 22 months, and 17 percentwill develop cerebral palsy.
"Hyaluronan Accumulates in Demyelinated Lesions and InhibitsOligodendrocyte Progenitor Maturation," published in the September 2005issue of Nature Medicine, volume 11, number 9, was a collaborativeeffort of Dr. Back, senior researcher Larry Sherman, Ph.D., an AdjunctAssociate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, OHSU School ofMedicine, and other colleagues at OHSU, the National Institutes ofHealth, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose missionis to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects,premature birth and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March ofDimes funds programs of research, community services, education, andadvocacy to save babies and in 2003 launched a campaign to address theincreasing rate of premature birth.

Don't WWE understand...
Punk was not cheered mainly by casuals, it was mostly by the adults who cheered for him because he produced us a sense of 'Attitude' and spoke for what many of us IWC feel.
The fact that there turning Punk into a confirmed role as a Heel who be-rates the crowd, is annoying for the fact that they know that there will be those smarks in the crowd who will make them loud CM Punk chants. Now I personally as some of you may know were against a heel turn, because I was content with Punk as a top babyface(personally) but they shouldnt of switched him to a full-fledged villian, because it insults to be honest, our intelligence as older fans.
So Punk went from a guy breaking the fourth-wall, anti-hero type of character and a babyface to a typical #Heel. This feels like a step back to early 2011.
What Im trying to say is, Punk was cheered by adults mostly - not casuals (although Punk did win them over) and no matter what they do, especially against Cena - there will be loud Punk chants which could kick-start another mass of popularity which means Punks heel turn could fail.
Honestly I dont know how you can stop Punk getting cheered, because he dissed a home-crowd and still got cheered. They should of stuck him into a tweener role, and just see how it went.
P.S Sorry for another Punk thread, but I promise this is my last one.
Re: Don't WWE understand...
They don't care. John Cena stays face. John Cena wins. John Cena everything.
If they keep going along like they are, sooner or later they will be stuck without a face of the company. They will try and force one, two, three, etc. Imagine if Cena had to spontaneously retire, like Edge had to, what would he really leave behind? He certainly would have not helped to create a new face of the company. If they were to stay in this child-orientated programming then Punk couldn't be pushed as 'the guy'.
Re: Don't WWE understand...
I agree with you but all of this is the WWE's fault because they couldn't make a new star. In the Main-Event, they couldn't find a other heel who would be credible against Punk because of the bad booking so they just turn him heel and put him against the biggest face they could found
Re: Don't WWE understand...
if cena dies tomorrow, they still have sheamus :vince3
Re: Don't WWE understand...
Punk is not a good babyface...
but he got cheer as a heel so he's not a good heel either.
just terminate his contract. this guy can't get over with casual fans and his smarky fans are ruining the show all the time.
Re: Don't WWE understand...
I prefer Punk as a heel! he was lame as a face, no good promos, no attitude. At least now delievers some good promos, but i don't like his whiny attitude! He bitches all the time! It's sad but cena was right, the only thing we remember of punk in his reign as a champion, is the kiss he blew to vince!
Re: Don't WWE understand...
Re: Don't WWE understand...
Cena is so despised by the older crowd that no matter what Punk does or says, it would pale in comparison to the years of insults to our intelligence that has been SuperCena. Punk has zero chance to get Cena cheered over him, barring legitimate real life heat. The man came out in pinstripes in Boston and was still cheered for most of the match. And why? Because Punk is the only chance of a non-Cena dominated WWE, so even the older fans that aren't necessarily Punk fans will still cheer him as the far lesser of two evils. That, and like most heel turns, he has very legitimate reasons for doing so.

Ex-WBC champ Hasegawa returns
By Joe Koizumi
Former WBC bantam and feather champ Hozumi Hasegawa (30-4, 13 KOs), 125.5, successfully made a comeback after a twelve-month hiatus when he chalked up a TKO victory over previously unbeaten Mexican Felipe Carlos Felix (18-1, 10 KOs), 126, at 2:28 of the seventh round in a scheduled 10-round bout on Friday in Tokyo, Japan.
The Japanese southpaw, 31, forfeited his second WBC throne in the feather category to Jhonny Gonzalez with a single right shot in the fourth despite winning on points last April.
Hasegawa took the leadoff from the outset, and steadily piled up points as he battered the nervous Mexican upstairs and downstairs. But Felix withstood the ex-champ's assault and occasionally responded to his rally with solid rights. Hasegawa sustained a gash caused by a headbutt in the fifth, but finally caught Felix with a flurry of punches, dropping him midway in the seventh. The ex-champ furiously followed it up to prompt the referee's intervention, but he failed to show his previous sharpness, which will be shown on his future comeback trail.

Inspired by our global offices in four of the world's classic cities (not to mention our love of travel), this bold collection of minis—created exclusively for Birchbox—features summer's hottest hues. Our editors worked closely with Color Club to develop these custom shades, visiting the brand's Long Island factory to collaborate with the brand's in-house chemist. You definitely won't find anything like these on-trend, brightly hued polishes anywhere else.
I LOVE painting my nails and was so happy to see Color Club was going to be included in this month's box. I really liked the quality of the polish BB sent earlier this year but the color was way too dark for my skin. This month I got the mint and it is GORGEOUS. The polish goes on smooth, is super bright, and has great durability.5
At first I was a little disappointed to receive the color "Reign in Spain" in my BB, as I already have a similar color in my collection -- or so I thought. This color is so much more vibrant on the nails than in the bottle. I haven't even had it on my nails for 24 hours and have received numerous compliments. Well done!5
I have used Color Club nail polish in the past and found it did not chip quickly and was shiny for multiple days. I got the green shade in this Birchbox and was disappointed to find it quickly chipped within a day and was not as good of a quality as previous Color Club polishes I have used.3

2. Journalism
Granting asylum to Assange might warm up Correa's relationships with the journalists in his country, whom he mostly relates to by suing them for libel or shutting them down.
3. Tourism
Now that Lonesome George, the 350-year-old Galapagos Giant Tortoise, has passed on, Ecuador needs a new tourist attraction. Meet Lonesome Julian, the White Wonda From Down Unda.
4. Rebranding
Ecuador could use a new motto. "We give aid and comfort to crusading-if-egomaniacal journalists" isn't great, but it's a lot better than the current one: "We are smack dab on the equator. No, seriously, check it out."
5. Scholarship
Having Assange in the country will surely help improve the Spanish edition of WikiLeaks, which has fewer than 900,000 articles, or roughly one-fifth the number in the English-language version. Oh, sorry, I was confusing it with Wikipedia. My bad.
6. Entertainment
Assange is a shoo-in to win the next South American Idol competition. I hear he does a kickin' rendition of "Girl From Ipanema."
More seriously: I've written about WikiLeaks quite a bit over the last few years. I remember the first time I heard the name Julian Assange: It was attached to an email, which arrived a few days after one of my pieces, alerting me to a new disclosure. I thought, "Hey, look at that, WikiLeaks hired a PR guy."
Not for one minute did I think that WikiLeaks was Assange, because that would mean making himself a target for every government agency and multinational corporation that took a disliking to the things WikiLeaks revealed. That, I thought, would be a really stupid thing to do.
Turns out it wasn't stupid so much as egomaniacal. It seems clear that Julian Assange desperately wanted to be famous. Well, he got his wish. And that is why he's now sleeping on a couch at the embassy and eating food out of the vending machines. Had he simply stuck to WikiLeaks' mission without seeking the spotlight, he might still be a free man (though probably also a hunted one). Had he acted a bit more responsibly with the information he was given, he might have more support among his colleagues.
I would not be at all surprised if the sexual assault charges were a setup designed to snare Assange, a well-known trouser trout. Though I would be a little surprised if the United States plans to request Assange from the Swedish authorities so that he can stand trial here, because trying a journalist for espionage -- even one who's not a U.S. citizen -- would not play well politically over here.
Still, I understand why he's concerned about his future safety. But he has only himself to blame.
What's your take on Assange? Moral crusader, raging egomaniac, or a bit of both? Share your thoughts below or email me: firstname.lastname@example.com.

After reading "The Four Fists" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, try to determine the author's position.
1 Answer | Add Yours
One of the positions the narrator puts forth is that people can benefit from facing the consequences of their actions. If Samuel Meredith had never been punched in the face for any of the four of his transgressions, he would not have reconsidered his behavior and therefore he would not have learned that he behaved selfishly or indifferently. As unpleasant it is to be punched in the face, the narrator indicates that this is something Samuel Meredith was thankful for:
If you could run your hand along Samuel Meredith's jaw you'd feel a lump. He admits he's never been sure which fist left it there, but he wouldn't lose it for anything.
The first punch taught Samuel to be considerate rather than rude. The second punch taught him to consider the feelings and circumstances of others (the laborer). He also learned that it is arrogant and presumptuous to force his idea of a social code upon others. This is particularly applicable in that one's social code is not necessarily always correct. And in this case, Samuel was wrong. He wanted to impress the girls by appearing to be the chivalrous hero, but the laborer needed the seat much more than the girl did.
The third punch taught him again to consider the feelings and circumstances of others and to consider the big picture. Samuel selfishly considered himself Marjorie's hero, rescuing her from a husband who apparently neglected her. But after the third punch, he contemplated the opposite scenario; that he was the villain and Marjorie's husband was the hero:
The situation had miraculously and entirely changed—a moment before Samuel had seemed to himself heroic; now he seemed the cad, the outsider, and Marjorie's husband, silhouetted against the lights of the little house, the eternal heroic figure, the defender of his home.
The final punch teaches him that there are more important things than money. You could say the "four fists" are the "four lessons" in Samuel's life. These lessons made him a better person. Subsequently, when faced with an important decision, Samuel rubs that lump on his jaw to remind himself what he's learned from those punches.

If you've purchased any local Ontario food before, it probably came from this region you've likely never heard of. In fact, it is the number one producer of tomatoes, carrots, seed corn, cucumbers, pumpkins, sugar beets and brussels sprouts in all of Canada. However, none of it is being consumed by its community members.
My only attempt at gardening was when I was living in the Prairies. I managed to keep alive a flowering plant one summer, and carefully washed it as instructed before bringing it indoors for the winter, only to have a scourge of flying aphids in the house! Evidently, gardening is not a core competency of mine.
Vegetables should not only be restricted to the plant beds. We've been growing tomatoes in containers for years, but how about lettuce in a pot? Salads always taste best when they are fresh and you'll have no excuse with a beautiful urn filled with gorgeous frilled and colourful leaves. Choose varieties that are considered 'Cut-and-come-again'.
Last week I had the pleasure along with a few other journalists to see exactly how Tony Loschiavo and his executive chef they utilize their 3000 sq.ft garden in the ethnic enclave of the Bathurst manor to produce fresh food delights that make the palate dance with joy. Located a short walk from the Bathurst Paese, the organic garden overwhelms you at first site.

Fot those of you that don't know, some one arm archers have a mouth tab attached to their string just above the nocking point. They grab the tab with their teeth, draw the bow and release the arrow by letting go of the tab.
Here is a video of OneArmArrowSlinger doing it.
Here is a link to a thread that has information on making a mouth tab:
I would like to have the boys in our Boy Scout Troop try this (our theme this month is Disability Awareness), but we can't have all the boys using the same mouth tab.
Any ideas on how to make a quick change mouth tab?
