Jean Paul Gaultier, the quintessential bad boy of fashion, has turned 50.
But despite reaching such a milestone and coming up with new designs for nearly three decades, the bleached-blond, crop-haired Gaultier has lost none of his chutzpah.
His 2003 spring/summer Paris haute-couture collection, which was revealed in Paris on Monday, was cheeky, revealing and downright sexy, from see-through evening gowns to a very naughty wedding dress - at least it was white - figure-hugging tailored suits and a black outfit with an elaborate version of a mantilla.
Gaultier's fashion career took off when he started working for Pierre Cardin in 1973. After a year, the young designer decided to strike out on his own with the love of his life, his boyfriend and partner Francis Menuge.
When Menuge died of Aids in 1990, Gaultier wondered whether to stay with fashion at all. It was a bleak time for him. "I did the company with my boyfriend and I am thinking maybe I shouldn't do it without him," he remembers.
But then he sighs and smiles: "However, there is an infernal rhythm to fashion, the collections have to go on, so I went on and I don't regret it, because I went on and did the couture. And I am still having a nice adventure, no?" And so, more than 25 years since he began making jewellery and a ragbag of a first collection, which only a handful of people came to see ("the old fashion editors who didn't get invited to the important shows any more, so they came to mine for something to do"), the infernal rhythm beats on, with Gaultier putting out five collections twice a year: ready-to-wear for women and men, JPG Jeans, accessories and couture.
And Gaultier's "nice adventure" continues apace with him living, temporarily, in a hotel called Le Pavillon de la Reine in le Marais.
"My apartment is having a lot of work so I am at a hotel - in English it is the Pavilion of the Queen." Gaultier doesn't look 50, especially when he laughs. He looks perhaps 40, still bleaching his cropped hair, still dressing youthfully. Today he is wearing a brown, 1970s-style leather jacket, a brown shirt patterned with small cream flecks, and around his neck is a leather choker held together with a heavy gold safety pin, from which dangles a small anchor studded with diamonds.
"It was a present," he says, "an ancre de marine because I always do the nautical theme in my fashion. And the safety pin, well, that is there to hold it together. That is what that is for." He laughs loudly. Laughter must really be a good medicine because he looks very well. He says he is in good health. He has given up drinking cafe creme "because it is bad for the liver". And he no longer has baguettes with butter and jam for breakfast.
"I have a friend, she was a model when we both started in fashion, and she is the same age as me," says Gaultier.
"Like me, she loves food, and she was getting a little fat but then I saw her just before I was supposed to go on holiday and she had lost, lost, lost the weight. I was fat, it was a problem when I was moving and I could feel my stomach, so we went on holiday together and she put me on a diet. I lost nine or 10 kilos," Gaultier says.
"And I am well. I don't do drugs. I don't smoke. I maybe have five or six cigarettes in my life and that was when I was 13 years old because all the other guys were smoking. It made me cough. I prefer to have cake."
Once, he says, in the Philippines in the 1970s, when he was working for Cardin, he was offered a joint, but he saw the mucky end where it had been sucked upon by everyone else, and he recoiled. "I said, 'yuk'. And one day somebody offered me some cocaine, but I said, 'not today, thank you'. Really, I did. I was so innocent."
In a departure from life as a designer and top couturier, Gaultier became co-presenter of the British late-night TV show Eurotrash (which presented wacky, sleazy stories from around the world in the vein of Tantric Sex School, Nude Cleaning Service and Rabbit Showjumping) in order to overcome his shyness. But he stopped doing the show because he didn't like the scripts. "It made me say some things that I find quite silly, almost misogynist, almost ridiculous for gay people. There was this macho image about women that they are all like Barbie and the same for people who were gay."
But he says TV was never part of his career plans. Instead, he always dreamt of working in fashion. The plan, the dream, for Gaultier began when he was a small boy, spending a lot of time with his eccentric, faith-healing grandmother. She wore a large sweater over tights when she went out, and was renowned for being odd.
Gaultier designed clothes for his teddy bear, and his grandmother would let him experiment with dye on her own, mad hair. He grew up in the suburbs of Paris. His late parents were accountants who, according to their son, loved each other. Gaultier remembers being jealous of his cousin because having a cousin meant he had to share his grandmother with someone else.
But he was traumatised about who he was. He once told the story of how, when he was 14, his grandmother made him read a book which had a gay character in it. "She said, 'you see this man, he is suffering a sickness, but he is very nice, and if you see a man suffering like him, you should be nice to him'.
"I went with girls at first, in fact, but then one day I went to see the film of Romeo and Juliet, and then I quickly realised that I would be with guys. I was dreaming about Romeo more than Juliet."
Gaultier read books about Christian Dior and wondered whether he would be like him when he grew up.
The spiralled and pointy-breasted basque he made for Madonna for her Blonde Ambition tour in 1990 did make him rather like Christian Dior, in that Gaultier had created one of those fashion statements which changed something about the way women dress. He also made skirts for men, but only Jonathan Ross and - on one spectacularly embarrassing occasion - Elton John (with tights) took him up on the initiative.
There were plenty of triumphs, though. And of course, because this is Gaultier, there were plenty of laughs along the way.
There were the naughty nuns in corsets and sheer black stockings, which shocked the Vatican; a tribute to Hasidic Jews, which generated a certain amount of outrage rather than laughter; there was Joan of Arc and the Tattooed Lady. The list goes on, but mainly there was gender-bending tailoring, city suits reconstructed, pin-stripes skewed.
Gaultier started making couture in 1996. It has been a tremendous success. Last season he was given the timeslot in the catwalk-show schedules previously always occupied by Yves Saint Laurent. An honour. There is talk that Gaultier will open new shops this year on the US west coast, in eastern Europe and Asia.
There has not been a big, fashionable flurry of excitement about this latest Jean Paul Gaultier renaissance. Just a quiet acknowledgement that he is one of the most remarkable and enduring fashion designers.
And he is also one of the nicest men you could hope to meet. He touches on many subjects during this interview: the British royal family and their relationship with the tabloid press; how President Francois Mitterrand's lovers were known about but never publicised until after he died; how the British are so secretive but at the same time so nosy, so fond of gossip; and how clever the veteran designer Sonia Rykiel is to also be selling sex toys alongside her fashion. "To be very honest, I think it is a very good present for Christmas," says Gaultier, mock-seriously.
Gaultier's attention is taken by a young man, a delivery boy on a bicycle. He, like Gaultier, is wearing a Puffa jacket, and from beneath it emerges an apron, which looks like a skirt worn over trousers.
"Ah, it is interesting," he said. "That is a new way. You know I do the skirts for men."�

I am looking for a theme for WooCommecre very similar to http://www.sportsdirect.com/ but for a printing company with the ability to upload artwork for the order and also show the pricing for the different quantities in a table like this: https://www.instantprint.co.uk/businesscards/classic
We have a budget but not massive and so we would rather use a theme from theme forest.
We would be happy to work with a author to get the design looking great for both us and the public.
Thanks Ben
I am after a website theme similar to http://business.hibu.com/ (especially the header part).
We are a media agency and so require a medium website (not too simple or crowded) – like hibu site.
I love their nav bar and it is really good.
Any links would be great – we only have the budget for a theme so please only send links.
Thanks Ben
OrangeIdea said

"So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
"I'm not kidding," he says.
"You should be," she says, "we're sixteen."
"What about Romeo and Juliet?"
"Shallow, confused, then dead."
''I love you," Park says.
"Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
"I'm not kidding," he says.
"You should be."
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.
Remember when it wasn't cool to be a nerd? It really wasn't so long ago that being nerdy meant you weren't cool, you were, well, a nerd. And that's who Eleanor and Park are without much of the label of being a nerd. But even in 1986, talking in Star Wars lines, comparing The Smiths and Joy Division means some level of weird.
If I had to summarize this book in one word, it would be cute. Or maybe adorable or sweet. Because it is. Amusing thing is, I had finished a rather racy New Adult book minutes before starting this (thank you, plane rides) and you might think that my brain would be so perverted it might not be impressed by the awkward, innocent nuances between Eleanor and Park. Wrong.
Eleanor is a bigger girl with bright red, frizzy hair who dresses like she raided a junkyard and is new to the neighborhood. She gets on the school bus and all of the kids instantly freeze her out of finding a seat. Park would love nothing more than be invisible. This girl is ultimately visible. Still, he fights all of his common sense when he moves over and snaps at her to sit down. Which she does. Then they don't even directly look at each other for 50 pages. Awkwardly adorbs. When they finally graduate to holding hands, OMG, it is both the biggest and cutest thing ever.
While this book is lots and lots and lots of cute, there are darker and deeper issues too. Like Eleanor's truly craptastic home life and Park's not-immediately-obvious issues (which I have to say, I loved. I want to read more about Park) made their character arcs quite amazing and completely interesting. But don't let you worry you, this book is still more light adorably innocent romance than an Issues Book.
While it's set in 1986 as the first page states, it doesn't feel like 1986. It's set the past, but only a little. It doesn't make it a gimmicky thing (thank god) where it reminds you every 10th sentence it's set in the 80s. There's some permed hair, but not a lot, no one wears workout clothes in neon shades and there are no mentions of shoulder pads. Mainly they talk about music. U2 is mentioned several times (my FAVORITE band) which made my nerd heart happy. The hitches with this time period are: no luxury of cell phones and texting, *gasp* internet! and emailing, and they actually have to worry about using batteries in their Walkmans. Whoa, 80s. And guess what, it really, really works for this story.
I think I was able to write this review with less than 50 uses of the words 'cute' and 'adorable'. Awesome.
I also recommend Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson and From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas.

June is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month. Although PTSD has been brought to the nation's attention by the staggering number of war veterans who return home with it, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder doesn't just occur in veterans. An estimated 7.7 million Americans have PTSD. One in 10 women will develop PTSD in her lifetime, and 50% of those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder don't seek treatment.
What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops after a terrifying event that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. PTSD occurs when the something harmful happened to the individual, harm comes to a loved one or the individual witnesses a harmful event
When you're in danger, it's natural to feel afraid. When you're afraid, your fear triggers your "fight-or-flight" response, which is a healthy reaction to protect you from harm. In PTSD, this reaction is altered or damaged. Those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder may feel stressed or afraid when they're no longer in danger.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder was first brought to the attention of the public in relation to war veterans, but PTSD can occur from a variety of traumatic events like:
- Rape
- Torture
- Being kidnapped/held hostage
- Child abuse
- Car accidents
- Train wrecks
- Plane crashes
- Bombings
- Natural Disasters
What are the signs and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
PTSD can cause a variety of symptoms. These symptoms can affect the mind, body, and emotions. Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can include:
Intrusive memories
- Recurrent and unwanted distressing memories of the event
- Reliving the traumatic event (flashbacks)
- Upsetting dreams about the event
- Severe emotional distress or physical reaction
Negative Changes
- Negative feeling about yourself or other people
- Inability to experience positive emotions
- Feeling emotionally numb
- Lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Hopelessness about the future
- Memory problems, including not remembering the traumatic event
- Difficulty maintaining close relationships
- Trying to avoid thinking or talking about the event
- Avoiding places, activities or people that remind you of the event
Emotional Changes
- Irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior
- Always being on guard for danger
- Overwhelming guilt or shame
- Self-destructive behavior
- Trouble concentrating
- Trouble sleeping
- Being easily startled or frightened
Children and teens may react differently to Post-Traumatic Stress than adults do. In very young children, these symptoms can include:
- Bedwetting, after they've already learned how to use the toilet
- Forgetting how or being unable to talk
- Acting out the scary event during playtime
- Being unusually clingy with a parent or other adult
When should you seek help for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Not every person who has been traumatized develops PTSD. Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder usually occur within three months of the traumatic incident, but symptoms of PTSD can also occur years afterward. When those symptoms last for more than one month, it is usually considered PTSD.
If you have disturbing thoughts and feelings about an event for more than a month, especially if those thoughts are severe, or if you feel you are having trouble getting your life under control after a traumatic event, it's important to seek the attention of a medical professional.
How to protect yourself if you have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Wearing a medical ID is an important step to protecting yourself when you have PTSD. In the event you are unsure of your surroundings or are unable to speak for yourself, your medical ID can advocate for you when first responders arrive.
Attending counseling sessions is a great way to explore your feelings and thoughts about a traumatic situation in a safe environment. Working through your feelings with a medical professional can help you cope with how you feel when you have PTSD.

Am I the only person in the world who wants to lay around the day after Thanksgiving eating leftover turkey sandwiches and watching an Iron Chef marathon? I've never understood Black Friday. I'm pretty sure I'd rather chew off my own arm than wait in the cold on Thanksgiving night so I can be pushed around an electronics store at 7 a.m. But that's just me.
Clearly, there are some out there who don't share my views. In fact, there is a woman waiting in line at a Best Buy in El Cajon, California as I write this. Her name is Rhiannon Buckingham and she has been there since Friday. Yes, last Friday. The Friday before Thanksgiving. Nobody told me Best Buy was selling vital organs and giving away bars of gold. Oh, because they're not. They're selling TV's and Bluray players and earphones. This woman is waiting outside for over 168 hours so she can buy some discounted TV's.
Wow. From The Examiner:
Last year, Rhiannon Buckingham thought she was ready for Black Friday when she came to wait in line on Tuesday before Best Buy's Black Friday opening. Much to her dismay, it turned out she was number 17 in line.
This year, Rhiannon Buckingham decided to do the smart thing and to wait in line more than a week before Best Buy's Black Friday event; prepared to save more than $2000 by being early and ready.
Her strategy worked. She was the first in line.
Her strategy backfired a little because management at that particular Best Buy was
totally creeped out worried for her safety and made her leave. She found another Best Buy less than 20 miles away where she was welcomed with open arms. As of yesterday she even has some company. Another early shopper, La Mesa resident Jason Faust is now second in line. Faust told San Diego's News 10, "I've got nothing else better to do."
Doesn't it seem a little strange to spend Thursday being thankful for all of the stuff we already have, then frantically racing to a store less than 12 hours later to amass more shit? Thanks to people like this, I can start a new tradition with my kids. Making fun of Black Friday, being thankful for what we have, and never setting foot into a retail store the week after Thanksgiving.

2010 in creepy music videos: 5 favorites
The art of the music video reached new heights in 2010. There was Charlotte Gainsbourg's amazing collaboration with Beck, Kanye's hip hop ballet extravaganza for his unanimously fawned-over new record, and a dizzying collection of videos from Tame Impala's crew. But it was also an outstanding year for the experimental and avant-garde. We've gathered five of the year's best in the world of the fringe.
In a world where it seems like everything's already been tried at least once, musicians and artists challenged themselves and their audiences to open up to exciting new frontiers in the realm of audio/visual, treating the medium itself as a dynamic canvas. With the rise in Vimeo and the undeniable influence of Facebook share/likeability, a veritable explosion of high-quality clips have been successfully making rounds and inspiring a growing global sub-culture to join in the fun: to comment, think, and respond with their own unique creations. Friend the right folks, follow the right accounts, and you were bound to find something astounding on a daily basis.
Though there are dozens (if not hundreds) of others out there that are more than worthy of a peep, here are five that highlight music ranging from the bold to the beautiful and visuals from the frightening to hilarious. A note: for all of these, headphones and full-screen viewing are not just highly recommended, they are absolutely required. Enjoy!
5. Modern Witch - "Frozen in Time" (dir. Mario Zoots) Denver's own (and Amsterdam regular) Mario Zoots continually found ways to draw audiences (however small) into his darkly twisted world and keep them there. This video for his band Modern Witch was one of the best examples of the double-vision editing technique that defined so many of these subdued, future-goth minimalist synth tracks. It's especially effective here, given the already-creepy nature of the folks bleeding into themselves to become even more terrifying and grotesque. The best way to go is to look through the video a-la working a Magic Eye picture. Relax, submit to the creepiness and let Modern Witch cast its spell. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Maybe.
4. Wonder Wheel - "Purple" (Pradada Remix) (dir. Moduli TV) Note: NSFW Moduli TV is one of the many guises of Frank Oulette, a Montreal-based sound and video artist who, in the span of a single year, managed to make and upload 38 outstanding morsels of eye-candy for our viewing pleasures. The man is simply a machine, and this video for his remix (as Pradada) of a Wonder Wheel track is arguably his best work to date. It's absolutely thrilling despite its relatively slow pace and soft, analog TV-filtered crossfades. Oulette underscores the adrenaline and electricity of sex without sacrificing any of its beauty, and the ghostly overtones he pans across the ears match the piece's overall unnerving feel. People pining for the next Chromatics record should find this a satisfying appetizer for that big, juicy nugget of dark-pleasure pop sure to hit our plates next year.
3. CFCF - "It Was Never Meant to be this Way" (dir. Rob Feulner) The track is like a piano taking a bubble bath in a steamy, milky broth of liquid synthesizers. Saturated with swirling effects and overflowing with an aching, very natural beauty, this little tune exudes magnanimous feelings of longing and nostalgia as it sifts through your subconscious. Which brings us to these dream-like holograms of Garfield and Odie in their classic Halloween adventure (a childhood favorite, for many), mined here for the basis of this stunning video. Rob Feulner massages these simple cartoons with vibrant color and static while softly layering images like sheets of disintegrating wax paper. It's a prime example of just how much can be accomplished with very little source material to draw from.Next Page

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
To me, the Golden Age was when Factsheet 5 was being produced - the late 80s and early 90s. Was it the golden age because it was pre-internet, and was pretty much the only way to get media that was not conglomerate controlled (that and punk records, a different discussion perhaps). That said, there was some media attention to the zine scene - books were being written on them, and some zines made…

Is Job Hunting Really Just Sales?
If you are successful in sales, you've either had training or you've learned what works through trial and error . For the rest of us (90%!), we don't really have any idea how to sell. Sure,we may have personal communication strengths that make us more or less persuasive, but without training, we're flying blind.
As job hunters, we can learn a lot of from the steps to effective selling; especially if we think of finding the job we want as a similar process: prospecting, qualifying, negotiating and maintaining the relationship and we think of closing a prospect at each step along the way.
When sales people are required to make 'cold calls' — that is, talk with someone without an introduction… they use a process that can be helpful to job seekers. Check out …Cold Calling: How to Ask for an Interview.
Excellent sales people learn:
— not everyone is a fit for what they are selling
— not to take disinterest or rejection personally
— to focus on value and building relationships for the long haul
— to stick to the process and follow through
What separates a good sales person from a great one is how they:
— understand their target (research and listening)
— focus on the value of their offering to that particular customer
— are politely persistent in their follow through
No matter where you are in your job search process… I guarantee you will learn something valuable by learning more about sales. Take a great sales person to coffee or lunch and pick their brain about staying even, goal setting, follow through, etc. It'll be money well spent.

For the last three places I worked I did one interview. What worked for me was to have my reputation arrive before I came on the scene. Take yourself for example. I would hire you without an initial interview because you have already won my confidence. What is necessary is for us to find the best fit for you. In my last job as a consultant I was always in a sales mode because when you do not sell, there is no reason to keep you around. I never acted hungry. I always dress well, drive an interesting car, and try to be an interesting person. When I am with a client, I give them my undivided attention. No cell phone talking or texting when a client is around. Also, research is necessary. I love statistics and look at them all the time. In my present position, I came prepared with the last 20 years of their history memorized and asked them questions based on that information. You do not have to throw that much mud on a fence if you know where to throw it the first time. That means target advertising and your ideas on a personal level are invaluable. More power to you!
By Deborah, September 9, 2012 @ 3:27 am
Carl, WOW… this is fantastic advice.
Undivided attention. I think a lot of us can take a page from that book!
Memorizing relevant stats and high points of 20 years as the basis for questions… wonderful. I'm certain they could tell you had done your homework.
My last comment… where is your blog? I'd like to be reading it!
ps. thanks for the vote of confidence!

text: First, just let me say that I'm new here. :) I was told about this site from an employee at the Halloween Express store in Lexington. I was asking him about an Aang costume because my son desperately wants to be Aang for Halloween. Instead of buying a different costume, he has opted to let mommy try to make it for him (he's 11 so I really don't want to mess this up for him). If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any comments / suggestions given!! :toothy:

From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: [ORIGINAL-13] Isaiah Worrell
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 03:36:49 EST
I am new to this list and hoping to get some information on the Revolutionary
War service of my ancestor, Isaiah Worrell of Phila
He was born in Oxford Phila in 1732 to Isaac Worrell and Rebecca Hawley .
He married Elizabeth Harper in 1752, also of Oxford/Frankford. They had 15
children 10 sons and 5 daughters.
In a handwritten document by a member of the family that I have from 1890 -
"It is well known in the family that during the Revolution, a committee of
Quaker neighbors called at the Worrell home to disuade the parents from
letting their children serve in the war. The mother Elizabeth Harper pointed
to her babe in the cradle and expressed her sorrow that he was not old enough
to join the army."
The document goes on to say that Isaiah Worrell received word that Washington
was approaching Germantown and left Frankford with a small group of soldiers
and joined the army on the Skippack Pike and went on to participate in the
battle of Germantown, Trenton and Monmouth.
His Co was the 11Penna but their website has nothing on his service nor
Virgil Whites pension file abstracts.
His grandfather was Richard Worrell who died in 1688. Acccording to this
document the "first public protest against slavery in this country was made
at his house in Frankford by the Germantown Settlers on Feb 30 1688" [see
Abington Friends Meeting records]
The Worrells as a whole are very well documented by other family members but
no proof of Isaiah Worrell's service seems to be known.
Any information would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Joan Smyth

Young and Mysterious
This week, Terrance McKnight features Kevin James's composition NYC Playground, recorded by the Young People's Chorus of New York, and the Face the Music ensemble performs works by Phil Kline.
We also take a listen to one of the biggest hits of polyphonic repertoire, the setting of O Magnum Mysterium. The text tells the story of the virgin birth and has been set to music for more than 600 years. We compare three of these settings. As always we'd love to hear your thoughts.

This is my totally honest opinion. I just think you have pulled of one of the best ESB helmets i´ve ever seen! Your previous work is as good!
This is my totally honest opinion. I just think you have pulled of one of the best ESB helmets i´ve ever seen! Your previous work is as good!
Pics are up. I went back a reworkd the grey scratches on the red areas with RS suggested 'Reefer Grey' and it came out ALOT better. I left the Lark Dark Grey scratches on the green parts of the helmet as the Reefer Grey tended to blend with the Green too much and didn't show up in photos.

Hard to fathom a time when people argued over whether musicians could rock credibly past 30. At 76 and 80, respectively, pioneering rockabilly heroine Jackson and British blues innovator Mayall remain true to the iconoclastic standards that they set back in the Fifties and Sixties.

Water Heater
I have to buy a new water heater. Home Depot offers GE, Lowes offers Whirlpool. Any suggestions on which is better? Do they need to be the same size?
We usally get water heater from our suppliers, so I don't know much about these heater, but make sure there at least 50 gal, before you purchase know what your getting as far as warranty goes.
Whatever you buy, check the Energy Efficiency sticker (yellow and black) on the side of the unit. Read the warranty info. Make sure the warranty is good if it is installed by yourself. Also see what action needs to be taken if there is a problem. Good luck.
Don't forget about the tankless Gas water heaters. This is the last year for the $300 tax credit.

At 1 point, the Kimber and the Bul were about the same gun - They made it for Kimber, or so I've read.
Never really been interested in a polymer 1911, but then again, I don't care for the hi-cap 1911s. Maybe if they made a decent singlestack 1911...
Anybody have any experience with the hi-cap plastic .45's? Those would incude the Bul M5 (which I have heard good reports about), the Kimber Ten II, etc. Of the info I have read in other forums it's one of those, "they work great!" or "they're not worth a spit and I got rid of it!" Any thoughts or pics?

In your case, we probably need a "P9911 or P991911" or sumthin? Right. I've read Charles Daly imports the Bul M5 from Isreal for it's line of hi-cap 1911's and have seen mostly favorable reports. Over on 1911.com were varied reports on the Kimbers, etc. Most were little issues if any and then problems with "denial" from Kimber customer service. Who knows? The Charles Daly was reported on not too long ago in either the Rifleman or Shooting Times and the report was very favorable (of course, I don't think I've ever read an unfavorable report from a gun writer).
I'm not a fan of the hi-cap .45s. The grip is waaayyyy too big.
I love my Glock 21 and I even have a 10mm conversion barrel that I also like a lot. I do agree that this is not a handgun for a person with small hands. Regards, Richard
They fit my hands fine. In fact, over the last few years I have preferred the larger grips. My G20 fits my hand real good. Kinda' subjective thing. I've shot several double stack .45's and the bigger grip seems to give me a little more control. I don't know what's considered big, average, or little hands but I just measured the distance from the tip of my middle finger to the tip of my thumb when my hand is streched out it it's about 9 and 1/2 inches. That may be average but I really like the bigger grips.

No particular reason except maybe for weight. What I really want is an all stainless steel, "Commander" sized barrel (4" + or -), high-cap .45 with a full size grip (14 rds. of .45), and a traditional single action trigger. Maybe I've overlooked something, but I can't find that combination in a Para or elsewhere unless I go to a very high-end gun (STI, etc.). The plastic would be my second choice and there are some of those available.
Springfield makes a hi cap 45. It's a nice gun, points and shoots well. With the mags we had it was 13+1.
Can you get it in a 4" barrel with the full grip?
I don't know one we had was a 5" full size.Originally Posted by Charlie
I just looked on Springfield Armory's website and couldn't make it show me any hi-caps. I have the 2006 catalog and it lists a LDA trigger for one but that's all I can find. A local gun store had what I described in a "painted" green finish but I've forgotten the model # and they sold it. I did try to find that model in the 2006 catalog but it was not listed.
Looks good for a "lesser" 45. How does it shoot?Originally Posted by Charlie
The Croatian Sensation
If you want a high cap 45 with a polymer frame, go with the H&K USP. Top quality and it can be carried cocked and locked.
The HK Tactical would really be great. In fact, it would be my first choice in a full size pistol. I'm trying to find a 4" barrel hi-cap at a reasonable price to consider.

text: I have an ipod touch 4g and it's still on 5.1.1 because i don't know if the tweak music control pro works for ios6. I like this tweak because it allows me to play/pause my music on the lock screen by tapping the screen and also change the volume and track by swiping left/right or up and down. Could someone please let me know if this tweak still works with ios6 or if there is a new tweak that does the same thing.


text: Favorite playoffs since KG/Boston in 2008. Very excited to see the Heat win, can't remember getting that emotionally invested in a NBA playoff series in a long time. Also hilarious to see writers "come back from the edge" in regards to LeBron and the Heat and seeing journalists all of a sudden start writing articles grounded more firmly in reality than all of this ridiculous pettifogging that's been spewed out all year. Unfortunately a Heat win does nothing to cure this culture of cynicism around the game or it's need to constantly write/update/edit legacies as if they were a wikipedia page. It'll just be repackaged next season and served up to impressionable fans as reasoned basketball discourse. Sad.

Does this sound like your topic?
There is an ancient legal maxim, "a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client." Why should you hire an attorney instead of representing yourself? What might save money in the short run could end up costing more money and headaches in the long run.
The law has become more specialized and changes constantly. The self-help web site or generic court forms does not cover every fact situation. Even when judges are patient and understanding, trying to represent yourself, creates undue delay in the resolution of your case. The "slightest" procedural errors could be damaging.
Do you need a lawyer or not? Sometimes a lawyer is provided to the person being sued at no personal expense. For example, if you are sued because you were in an auto accident, your insurance company will likely provide a lawyer to protect your interests. If you are a sued as an officer or director of a corporation, the organization shall provide a lawyer for you. However, you are responsible for any suit you are named.
Additionally, in cases that are generally heard in small claims court, defending yourself may be a viable option. In small claims court, procedures are generally less formal and the judge sometimes helps resolve the matter. However, if the opposing party to your small claims action is represented by an attorney and requests a formal trial, you are at a disadvantage. An attorney could also assist in the preparation, negotiation and representation of your case in court.
Litigants representing themselves in court without the assistance of an attorney are known as pro se ("in one's own behalf"). The right to appear pro se in a civil case in federal court is defined by law, 28 U.S.C. Section 1654.
Many individuals seek legal advice from court employees. The court staff are prohibited by law from giving legal advice or performing any legal services on your behalf. They should only advise you on what documents are required and the costs. They can not develop the legal strategy for your case nor are they trained to do so.
The right to assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is made obligatory upon the states by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This guarantees that a person accused of a crime shall have an attorney. An accused can appear pro se but the judge must make a finding that the waiver was "knowing and intelligent."
The right to self-representation carries with it the responsibility for one's own mistakes. You cannot subsequently file a motion for appeal on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. Here are basic questions to ask yourself: (1) Do you feel comfortable talking to the judge/attorney/witnesses? (2) Do you understand the burden of proof required for your case? (3) Do you know the case laws, statutes, court rules required?
Here are examples of catastrophic outcomes: (1) forgetting to add one sentence to a divorce judgment costs a client thousands later in child support; (2) Failure to understand which jury instruction to requests had resulted in a guilty conviction and jail; (3) Failing to follow local court rules resulted in a lawsuit being dismissed forever; (4) Signing a waiver foreclosed a client's ability to file a lawsuit for additional money and legal rights.

Where do i place the thermostat probe?
Where do I place the probe?
The diagram below demonstrates how the temperature gradient works by placing the probe in the centre point of the vivarium, by placing the probe in between the heat source and the cool end you will ensure that the heater can not drive the cool end past your set temperature. In this example the thermostat is set to 30.c, the heater will stay on until the probe registers 30.c - therefore the area between the probe and the heater will be 30.c and higher, and the area between the probe and the cool end will not be able to go over 30.c.
In the diagram below we show how not to place the probe under normal use, In this example the probe has been placed in what should be the cold end, if the temperature on the thermostat is set for 30.c then it will not switch off the heater until the cold end hits 30.c. Which means the hot end will be exceeding 30.c.. You can use this method of probe placement if you require a very hot basking spot at a temperature greater than is on the thermostat dial. But do so with caution as the vivarium temperature will never be any lower than whats set on the thermostat dial.
Getting the correct temperature gradients is a fine balance of ambient room temperature, probe placement and heater size. All three of these factors will need tweaking to achieve the correct temps.

Luce Center Quote
"The children of the East side play without restraint; their griefs and their joys are expressed with absolute abandon. . . . They laugh loudly. They shout. They race on roller skates and dance unrestrainedly. I can get at the human quality in these children. They are real— real as can be. They express life." The artist, quoted in the Washington Post, 1906
Luce Center Label
Abastenia Eberle created several bronze casts of Girl Skating (also known as Roller Skating or Girl with Roller Skate). A year after she was elected to the National Sculpture Society, Eberle exhibited Girl Skating in New York City and Philadelphia. As her first piece that displayed the children of Manhattan's streets, it marked the beginning of her focus on urban poverty. Eberle addressed social issues in this sculpture while capturing the spirit of these poor communities. Girl Skating's uneven surfaces accentuate the girl's tattered appearance, yet her outstretched arms and open-mouthed expression still convey joy and the thrill of play.

"Lost in the sturm und drang over the Hope Solo affair at last year's Women's World Cup was a painful truth: The U.S. was playing ugly soccer," writes Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl, who looks forward to the American women playing a better brand of soccer under Coach Pia Sundhage, who took over after the third-place finish at the 2007 Women's World Cup.
In the semifinal loss -
for which Solo was controversially benched by Coach Greg Ryan - "Brazil exposed the Americans' lack of imagination ... but even when the U.S. was winning, it was doing so with brute force, overly
defensive tactics and a reliance on thumping long balls ..."
Wahl says Sundhage has junked the long-ball approach and instituted a ground-based short-passing attack that goes through the
midfield and not over it.
"We stripped our team of everything we knew about the game of soccer and implemented a new style of play," Solo says. "It's supposed to be a beautiful game."
The Americans open their Olympic campaign Aug. 6 against Norway.

Fall Getaway to Minnesota's North Shore
The Crooked Spoon Cafe has closed, but no one rushes to leave. At one table, singer-songwriter Lindsay Mac celebrates her performance that evening at Unplugged, an annual festival at the North House Folk School. She and a friend burst into an impromptu rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia," and soon, everyone in the restaurant joins her, voices raised in laughing song.
You could blame the wine—or you could credit Grand Marais, a one-stoplight oasis of great food and culture 110 miles northeast of Duluth. The town (population: 1,350) brings out the joie de vivre in anyone, especially in fall. Summer crowds thin, and with them go the insects, replaced by bald eagles, burnished foliage and bracing, pine-scented air. And for the past 12 years, the season kicks off with Unplugged, a growing event that's still small enough to make you feel like part of the Grand Marais family.

If you knew who freestyle kayaker Stephen Wright was before 2005, you were either a friend or family member. But after entering the Reno River Festival that year as an amateur– and taking third place among the pros – Wright has become on of the best-known athletes on the freestyle scene. Since then, Wright, 28, has shown he has serious staying power, finishing in the top three of nearly every competition he's entered with his soaring loops prompting "how'd he do that?"s from audiences in more than five states. The Washington D.C. native spends his summers on the Ottawa River in Ontario, running the Keener program, which provides kayak training and character development for teens. Read on as Wright talks about his Tolkien-inspired nickname, pre-competition dietary habits and the business card you hope you never receive.
CK: A lot of people were surprised at how you burst onto the freestyle scene last year at the Reno River Festival. What's your reaction to that?
SW: I got to paddle with EJ a whole lot before then. That was just my first opportunity to paddle in front of a lot of people and it was great to have it pay off.
CK: What did you do before becoming a professional kayaker?
SW: I used to be a full-time high school kids church group leader. I would teach them how to kayak too. Then I realized that kayaking was too much fun so I decided to do that. Now I'm ruined and only do that. [Laughs] I live in a truck.
CK: Really?
SW: Well, I rent a room from Clay [Wright, from Team Jackson] five months out of the year. Then I teach in Ontario for three months. The rest of the time I'm traveling.
CK: Where have you traveled?
SW: We go to Colorado, Reno, California. Last year we spent a month and a half in Africa, paddling on the Nile and the Zambezi rivers shooting for one of EJ's instructional videos. It was awesome. We were lucky enough to get to go out and play every day.
CK: So would you say that rodeo kayaking is your favorite?
SW: Freestyle in general is my favorite – I like being able to work on skills. I like the knowledge that you're never finished. There's always something new and exciting. It doesn't hurt when you mess up and it gets up you in the air in your kayak. Plus, you don't have to wait for rain.
CK: Speaking of getting air, you're notorious for getting a whole lot of it. What's your secret? Unless it's trademarked…
SW: [Laughs] Oh no it's not trademarked. I'm pretty light and I paddle a big boat and that helps a lot. The volume-weight ratio allows me to get more air. My boat paddles faster and takes bigger bounces, compared to other, more hobbit-sized boats.
CK: You mention hobbits. I hear you have a nickname.
SW: [Laughs] Yup.
CK: Why is your nickname the Hobbit King?
SW: The Keeners [students at his summer program] call me that. I'm not particularly tall, and because I was in charge they wanted to call me the king of something. The King of Hobbits was about all that I could claim.
CK: So what would you say has been your favorite competition?
SW: My favorite competition so far was this year's FIBArk. I spent two weeks training before the event and working on a bunch of combo moves that no one else had figured out yet, but I'm sure they could do them now. I went into it knowing if I did what I wanted I could win. I was excited about it; the Arkansas river gives big air and allows for creativity when it comes to linking moves together, it was fun.

Citation: O'Hearn, R., Kremer, R.J., Jones, J.R., Knowlton, M. 2008. Fecal indicators in recreational waters of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri(abstract). American Society for Microbiology Branch Meeting. March 14-15, 2008, Liberty, MO. p. 5. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Lake of the Ozarks is a popular whole body contact recreational reservoir in South Central Missouri. The reservoir shoreline and watershed are highly developed with residential and business units. Fecal contamination is a health concern for visitors and residents because of extensive use of septic systems in the local porous soils. Septic systems may potentially leach human fecal material into the water, which is used for whole body contact recreation. We correlated housing density, a human development index, of 35 coves (undeveloped, low, intermediate, and highly developed) with fecal coliform (FC) analysis to determine water quality. Three main channel sites were used for controls. FC values ranged from 0 to 3,325 colony-forming units (CFU) per 100 ml during the 1981-82 recreational seasons. In 2007, FC and E. coli values ranged from 0 to 4,880 and 0 to 546 CFU, respectively. From 1980 to 2007, FC increased in main channel, undeveloped, low, and intermediate developed sites by 66.8%, 207.3%, 77.7%, and 59%, respectively. In 2007, FC density in highly developed coves was 57% lower than in 1980. Increases in FC appeared to be associated with development in both 1980 and 2007, except in highly developed coves in 2007. E. coli also increased with development, except that levels in highly developed and intermediate developed coves were similar. Lower FC and E. coli values detected in highly developed sites are likely due to installation of community sewage systems that service current densely populated areas instead of reliance on individual septic systems. Results demonstrate that residential areas near the sampled coves are a primary source of bacterial contamination of Lake of the Ozarks water; however, 2007 analyses of highly developed areas indicate that reduction in water contamination may be related to improved sewage disposal systems installed since 1980.

YEARS AGO, as a teen, I heard a man at a church speak on the evils of popular culture. I expected him to rail against the usual suspects — rock and roll, Star Wars, Disney cartoons with grey-bearded magicians in pointed hats — but I was entirely unprepared for when he turned his attention to My Little Pony. Some of these seemingly innocuous toys, he noted, had wings or horns, like the unicorns and flying steeds of Greek myth, and this, he said, was not good. "There's nothing wrong with ponies," he said with utter conviction. "God made ponies. But God didn't make little unicorns."

Guide to General Education
Within the context of the University's Catholic and Marianist educational philosophy, the general education requirements are central to the full intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual development of every student who has entered the University of Dayton prior to Fall 2013.
The purpose of these requirements is to make students aware of the diversity of intellectual thought and theory represented by the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. The general education component of the undergraduate curriculum offers students an opportunity to connect, integrate, and evaluate information from various disciplines and thus enhance the study of a specific profession, field, or major. These requirements are integral to the University's goal of preparing students for a life of leadership and service, of helping students to grow not only in knowledge, skills, and professional competence, but also as morally responsible decision makers who are aware of the needs of the global community.
The general education program is composed of eleven courses that introduce students to arts study, historical study, philosophy, religious studies, social science, and physical and life sciences.
Courses from English, history, philosophy, and religious studies connect to form the Humanities Base. These courses challenge students to ask the question: "What does it mean to be human?" The courses use common themes and texts to help students address this question within the context of a community of learners.
Thematic Clusters build on the knowledge and skills developed in the Humanities Base. A Thematic Cluster is a group of courses that focus on a theme central to the human condition. Current thematic clusters include: The Arts and Human Experience, The Business Professional in a Global Society, The Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Cross-Cultural Issues, Perspectives on Global Environmental Issues, Social Justice Issues, Values, Technology, and Society, and Women and Culture.
Having fulfilled the Humanities Base and Thematic Cluster requirements, students can satisfy the remaining general education requirements by selecting additional courses in their chosen thematic cluster, selecting courses in other clusters, and/or selecting other general education courses.

Man charged with smothering toddler
A Burrell Township man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his stepson last week, and Indiana County District Attorney Pat Dougherty said he is still considering whether to seek the death penalty.
Juan Campbell, 27, of 88 Susan Drive, Apt. 13, is being held in the Indiana County Jail without bond.
"We're dealing with a case of child abuse here," Dougherty said at a press conference Monday afternoon at the Indiana County Court House. "This child was basically smothered."
Campbell was originally charged with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person after 22-month-old Malachi Patterson was rushed to Indiana Regional Medical Center and then Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh around 2:30 a.m. Friday, according to reports.
Malachi showed no brain activity when he arrived at Children's, state police Trooper John Matchik said at the press conference, and he was taken off life support around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. The charges were amended to include criminal homicide on Monday.
According to the updated criminal complaint, police interviewed Campbell on Sunday after Malachi had been declared dead. He told them that he originally put Malachi to sleep in his own room Thursday evening, but that around midnight he moved the toddler into his bed along with his 6-year-old son.
Malachi was whining, so he laid him on his chest and went back to sleep, Campbell told police.
Around 2 or 2:30 a.m. he woke up to go to the bathroom, and Malachi rolled off his chest and onto the floor, possibly hitting his head on the nightstand. Campbell picked him up and put him back on the bed, but he was whimpering, according to court papers.
Campbell told police he placed his hand over Malachi's mouth, blocking his nasal passages, and kept his hand there until the child stopped whimpering, according to the criminal complaint.
He later realized the boy was not breathing, and called his wife and the child's mother, Jamie Campbell, who was in the hospital following the birth of another child.
She told him to wake her mother, Lynn Patterson, who was asleep in another room in the apartment along with another 6-year-old child, and to call 911.
Matchik said that when the child arrived at Children's Hospital he had a bruise on his left cheek and emerging bruises on his nose and ear as well as swelling of the brain due to a lack of oxygen.
An autopsy was performed Monday but the cause of death has not been reported.
Dougherty said police officers had removed evidence from the home and are seeking records from both hospitals about the incident and any records connected to the family from Children and Youth Services.
He said that until he receives the autopsy report he could not comment on whether Malachi had been abused prior to the time he was smothered, but that at this point investigators have no reason to disbelieve Campbell's story.
He also said investigators intend to interview the two children who were in the home that night, one of whom was believed to be in the room during the incident with Malachi.
"The investigation is not over," he said. "We still have some other people we need to talk to."
Dougherty said the children remain in Jamie Campbell's care, and that no one other than Juan Campbell is expected to be charged in relation to Malachi's death.
He reminded parents that it's all right to walk away from a crying child for a few minutes, rather than become dangerously frustrated.
"Any parent can get frustrated, we understand that, but you cannot go about quieting a child by putting your hand over their mouth and smothering them. That's not acceptable," he said. "Walk away."
