Steelers notebook: Roethlisberger says no rift developing with Haley
Ben Roethlisberger insists there's no rift with offensive coordinator Todd Haley, even though he adopted some of Bruce Arians' terminology to call no-huddle plays Sunday in Oakland.
Roethlisberger said Tuesday he imported signals that were in Arians' playbook but not in Haley's, although they have since been added. Some interpreted Roethlisberger's postgame comments about the improvisational play-calling as favoring Arians' offense to Haley's.
"I really didn't think it would get blown up as much as it did, and I know some people are saying that I've been resistant to Todd," Roethlisberger said. "But it's one of those things that we went to Todd, and it's in the playbook now. It was simply a signal that I used with our receivers on two different occasions. One was on the fourth-and-1, we got the ball to Mike (Wallace). The other one was later on third down to Emmanuel (Sanders). We converted both plays. It worked out."
Wide receiver Antonio Brown said Roethlisberger merely simplified things to save time.
"He's really good at that stuff, (when) he gets an opportunity to see a defense and communicate with us, and communicate with us in verbiage that he's comfortable with," Brown said. "Same plays, same concepts, just a different way of saying it and (we) come out in a different formation."
Still, asked about his close relationship with Arians, who is now the Colts' offensive coordinator, Roethlisberger said, "We talk every week."
• Steelers linebacker James Harrison went through his first full practice Tuesday since having arthroscopic knee surgery Aug. 15, although he also took part in most of the Labor Day practice. Harrison's knee problem kept him out of training camp, and he hadn't practiced the past two weeks. Harrison posted a Twitter message reading: "Just finished my first day of full practice; hopefully, everything goes well (Wednesday)." The Steelers also hope to get back safety Troy Polamalu (calf) and running back Rashard Mendenhall (knee) when they play the Eagles on Oct. 7. Polamalu also said he practiced Tuesday.
• Raiders players were given baseball bats with the message "Steelers vs. Raiders, Bring the wood" before the Steelers game, according to the Sacramento Bee. Defensive end Richard Seymour said, "(The coaches) gave us the bats early in the week and told us to keep swinging."

Our Response column, page 35, yesterday, had as its main heading: "This was genocide, but Armenians were not its only victims." A sub-heading then said (referring to others who died): "Forgetting the Christians who were slaughtered is nearly as bad as denying it happened ... " The Armenians, of course, are Christians - Armenia adopted Christianity in the year 301.

Citigroup has been sued by Sealink Funding Ltd. for damages tied to an investment in $513m worth of residential mortgage-backed securities.
Bloomberg reports that Sealink, in a suit filed Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, accused Citigroup of misrepresenting and omitting information on the underwriting standards used to issue loans pooled to create the securities. Sealink is seeking more than the principal amount of the securities in damages.
In the meantime, Reuters reports that a lawyer for Goldman Sachs urged a U.S. appeals court Wednesday to send a former employee's gender discrimination dispute to arbitration rather than allow her to proceed with a proposed class action.
The case is being watched closely because it could help other employers avoid discrimination class actions like the one filed by Lisa Parisi, a former Goldman Sachs managing director.
The Goldman case at issue Wednesday was filed in 2010 by three women, including Parisi. The lawsuit accused Goldman of gender bias and an 'outdated corporate culture' favoring men over women for pay and promotions.

Blogs: All Sports
Quick notes on major league pitchers
who took part in Wednesday's WBC games, and subsequent eligibility for later
games based on WBC pitch count rules:
United States: Tough day for Dontrelle Willis (65 pitches). He's now
ineligible until Monday, and that's if the US advances to the second round. No
other US pitcher that went Wednesday threw 50 pitches or more, so that means
everyone on the US staff, except Willis, is eligible for the game against South
Africa on Thursday.
Think anyone from the Canadian and Mexican camps is thinking of rigging
Wednesday's game to kick the big bad Americans out of the tournament? If Mexico
wins 1-0 or 2-0, both Mexico and Canada advance and Team USA is eliminated.
Canada: Not only did Canada upset the US on Wednesday, they
successfully did so with their second-string bullpen. Adam Loewen threw 61
pitches, so he's ineligible until Monday. However, Canada has everyone on their
staff, except for past starters Loewen and Erik Bedard, eligible to back up Jeff
Francis against Mexico on Thursday night.
Mexico: Mexico also successfully used their B-team pitchers in their
win over South Africa. Therefore, everyone but past starters Rodrigo Lopez and
Mexican League star Francisco Campos (56 pitches in his start on Wednesday) can
pitch against Canada on Thursday. Esteban Loiaza starts against Canada, with
Oliver Perez available in long relief.
Puerto Rico: Joel Pineiro threw 56 pitches in his start against the
Dutch on Wednesday night. He's now ineligible until Monday, but other that
Pineiro and Javy Vazquez, everyone else on the Puerto Rican staff can go against
Cuba on Friday. They're likely to have clinched a second round berth before they
take the field, and may use a "staff" approach to the Cuba game as a result in
order to keep everyone eligible for the next round.
Panama: Bruce Chen threw 50 pitches against Cuba on Wednesday; he's
ineligible until Monday, but Panama likely will be eliminated before then.
Venezuela: Both Freddy Garcia (61 pitches, struck out Mike Piazza
twice) and Carlos Silva (55) topped the 50-pitch mark against Italy, so both are
ineligible until Monday. For Thursday's game against Australia, the Venezuelans
have four ineligible pitchers (Garcia, Silva, Johan Santana and Carlos
Zambrano), but they do get Victor Zambrano back. Kelvim Escobar and Gustavo
Chacin will serve as the tandem starters against Australia. They'll advance with a win, which seems pretty likely.
Dominican Republic: All pitchers except Bartolo Colon are eligible
against Italy on Thursday. They'll advance with a win as well.
Italy: Lenny DiNardo of the Red Sox threw 54 pitches; he's ineligible
until Monday, but Italy likely will be eliminated before then.

Outlines of English and American Literature
Nature Writers
Long, William J.
There is one feature in our recent literature, however, which attracts the attention of all critics; namely, the number of nature writers who have revealed to us the beauty of our natural environment, as Ruskin awakened his readers to the beauty of art and Joaquin Miller to the unsung glory of the pioneers. In this respect, of adding to our enjoyment of human life by a new valuation of all life, our nature literature has no parallel in any age or nation.
To be specific, one must search continental literatures carefully to find even a single book that belongs unmistakably to the outdoor school. In English literature we find several poets who sing occasionally of the charms of nature, but only two books in fourteen centuries of writing that deal frankly with the great outdoors for its own sake: one is Isaac Walton's
Complete Angler
(1653), the other Gilbert White's
Natural History of Selborne
(1789). [Footnote: There were other works of a scientific nature, and some of exploration, but no real nature books until the first notable work of Richard Jefferies (one of the best of nature writers) appeared in 1878. By that time the nature movement in America was well under way.] In American literature the story is shorter but of the same tenor until recent times. From the beginning we have had many journals of exploration; but though the joy of wild nature is apparent in such writings, they were written to increase our knowledge, not our pleasure in life. Josselyn's
New England's Rarities
(1672), Alexander Wilson's
American Ornithology
(1801), Audubon's
Birds of America
(1827),--these were our nearest approach to nature books until Thoreau's
(1854) called attention to the immense and fascinating field which our writers had so long overlooked.
Thoreau, it will be remembered, was neglected by his own generation; but after the war, when writers began to use the picturesque characters of plantation or mining camp as the material for a new American literature, then the living world of nature seemed suddenly opened to their vision. Bradford Torrey, himself a charming nature writer, edited Thoreau's journals, and lo! these neglected chronicles became precious because the eyes of America were at last opened. Maurice Thompson wrote as a poet and scholar in the presence of nature, John Muir as a reverent explorer, and William Hamilton Gibson as an artist with an eye single to beauty; then in rapid succession came Charles Abbott, Rowland Robinson, John Burroughs, Olive Thorne Miller, Florence Bailey, Frank Bolles, and a score more of a somewhat later generation. Most of these are frankly nature writers, not scientists; they aim not simply to observe the shy, fleeting life of the woods or fields but to reflect that life in such a way as to give us a new pleasure by awakening a new sense of beauty.
It is a remarkable spectacle, this rediscovery of nature in an age supposed to be given over to materialism, and its influence appears in every branch of our literature. The nature writers have evidently done a greater work than they knew; they have helped a multitude of people to enjoy the beauty of a flower without pulling it to pieces for a Latin name, to appreciate a living bird more than a stuffed skin, and to understand what Thoreau meant when he said that the
of an animal is the only interesting thing about him. Because they have given us a new valuation of life, a new sense of its sacredness and mystery, their work may appeal to a future generation as the most original contribution to recent literature.

"Miss Mugsy"
I loved this book! It held my attention all the way to the end. I would highly recommend it...and I'll be listening to it again!
WW2 and Holocaust junkie - as well as a big fan of the plain old good story. I love discovering new great books.
"Not my favourite"
Yes, but only to friends who are die hard Sparks fans. Book is slow, lays out good details and such, but there is only like 2 chapters with any real drama/excitement in them.
The abusive husband was really interesting. How the author described him felt very real and accurate.
Katie. She is interesting and though provoking without being annoying
a book with two parts: the loooooooong intro and the excitement
Not a bad book. I will say I enjoyed it. Fluffy and light. Probably won't end up listening to it a second time though like the others.
"What a movie!"
The best
When she found out she had a encounter with his dead wife .
The drunken husband . I just hated him and she did a wonderful job narrating him .
I listened to this book while I was sewing for 2 days . I was snowed in thank goodness I had this to listen to.
I listen to novels for distraction and entertainment and rate them on the experience, not literary merit. I prefer to read good literature.
"Lifetime Movie Fare"
Safe Haven is a run of the mill story about a woman escaping her dark past of spousal abuse. I've enjoyed some of Nicholas Sparks' work in the past, but calling this book cliched is like calling the Amazon a 'creek' .
I wish I'd been able to read my own review before I bought it.
You're welcome.
An avid reader, demanding of the story, characters and narrator. Mysteries and historical fiction are my favorites.
"Sappy and Cliche-ed Romance Novel"
After listening to this book, I realized that this author wrote "The Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle." If I had remembered that, I wouldn't have bought this book. This story is a romance, and filled with cliches. It didn't hold my interest much at all, although I was interested in how the main character escaped from her husband. So read this book if you like sappy romances with unreal characters. Otherwise, don't.
Only the middle was somewhat interesting, exploring the psychopathic detective husband. Beginning was pathetic and ending, well insulting. Will not read from this author again.
"Great listen"
So I usually for a a bit 'heavier' plot but wanted something just for pure entertainment. I admit - I loved this book! I wanted to listen to it all the time - every short car ride, while cleaning house, and it definitely got me out the door for more walks with my iPod. Story hooks you right away and when I thought it was fairly predictable, it had a little twist at the end. Highly recommend if you want some wonderful brain candy.
"Safe Haven"
This book was fantastic, until the last chapter, the end of the last chapter was not included in this audio book... This is why I only gave it two stars! I was so very disappointed!!!
"Another good job Mr. Sparks!"
I have read several of Nicholas Sparks novels, and loved this one as much as or more than his others. Someone told me they didn't like it because it was so different from his others. Why should an author fit into one cookie cutter style?
Safe Haven is still a love story, like all his others, but the characters have such depth and the conflict feels so real that you can't put it down until you are sure that all is well. As soon as I was finished I went back to the beginning to skip through to certain parts. That's when I know it's a really good and clever story.
Also, the narrator is very good and you truly feel the emotion pouring out of her.
As always very good! Sparks never disappoints me! I always love his little unexpected twists!

should i use? or no?
Hi Amanda here i have a question on this product my mom brought me but for got to read the ingredients :( it looks VERY good and i want to use it (i have been reading the bottle) here are the ingredients....
water, glycerin,propylene glycol, polquaternium-32, polyquaternium-39, fragrance, dimethicon copolyal meadowfoamate, imidazolidiny urea, methylparaben, propylparaben, jojoba oil, simethicone, tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, almond oil, tea tree oil, avocado oil, hydrolyzed keratin, calendula extract, anthemis nobilis, flower extract, chamomille extract, lamium album flower extract, arctiumlappa root extract, rosemary extract, ivy extract, arnuca flower extract, garlic extract, mallow extract, cucumber extract, parieteria extract.
I know it has 2 cones in it but i dunno do you think it's safe to use? its called design essentials therapeutics rx leave-in hydrating conditioner thanks ~Amanda
Is it a kind of expensive product sold in Black salons? If it is the one I am thinking of, I LOVED it when I used it years ago. Well, I loved one of the condishes from that line. But now I am no longer using cones...so it wouldn't work for me. But if you don't mind cones, then it might be a really great find.
i think it is. my mom went to her hair solan and brought it when she asked about my hair and what to use in it. i might give it a try if it weights my hair down then forget it Thanks for the reply!
It looks pretty good to me! Are you cg? The cone in there is water soluble, so it should not build up and should be removable with conditioner and water. I've seen questions about simethicone here before, it is not listed under cones but is related to them, so you'll have to see how it works for you.
Yes, I checked the website; it is the product line I was thinking of. Good stuff. But I used the regular condish, not the leave-in. I would have continued using it but the salon ran out of it, and kept BSing me everytime I asked them to re-order...not sure why i didn't order it online...oh well...
lazykerri I am cg thats why i was worried about the cones thanks for clearing it up for me i will use it the next time i wash. I hope it works though. spiderlashes5000 my mom got it at this solan in fl i dunno where she went but it wasn't that bad of a money i think she paid like 10 bucks. sorry you cant find it though thanks for all your help. ~amanda

Orozco beats Soria!
By Felipe Leon at ringside, Photos: Paul Gallegos
Click the photo to go to the next photo
A near capacity crowd invaded the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in San Diego, CA, to witness a "Night of Prospects" presented by Bobby D. Presents in association with Jorge Marron Productions on Thursday night. The six bout fight card showcased a series of local San Diego up and comers, with the majority of them making their pro debut. In the main event, jr. welterweight Antonio Orozco stopped Antonio Soria in round round three.
From the get go, Orozco of National City, CA, by way of Tecate, MX, took the fight to his opponent landing power shots to the head and body of the plodding Soria. Soria of Blythe, CA, was game as he took his beating holding his guard up and looking for an opportunity to counter punch the "Simple Man" that never came. In the second Orozco measured his distance better and began to land three and four punch combinations with the stiff jab leading the way. The southpaw Soria seemed to have trouble revving up his engine as he tried to muster his counter attack to no avail. Near the end of the round Soria began to have little success with a series of hooks to the body of Orozco as the local fighter backed into a neutral corner.
More of the same in the third as the impressive Orozco used his distance to try to establish an assault on the obviously over matched Soria. Although Orozco was landing a barrage of punches they seemed to make no effect on Soria until the last seconds of the round when Orozco landed a multiple punch combination that prompted the referee Pat Russell to catch Soria and call an end to the bout. Official time was 3:00 of the third round.
With the win, Orozco who as of last week was sparring with the NABO lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco stays undefeated with a ledger of 3-0, 3KO while Soria travels back to the desert with a record of 2-5, 2KO.
In the semi main event, San Diego flyweight Amaris "Reyna" Quintana (1-0-1) took on professional soccer player turned boxer Melissa McMarrow (2-1-1) of San Francisco in a scheduled four round fight. Both ladies began brawling as soon as bell sounded to welcome the first round as both landed quick short punches in the inside with Quintana darting in and out from McMorrow's reach. Quintana scored quickly with quick left hooks to the head of McMorrow as the former soccer mid fielder continued to move forward. The second was an all out brawl as both quick fisted fighters landed punches at will with the hometown favorite getting the best of the exchanges landing the harder power punches.
As Quintana scored effectively with a quick jab followed with an even quicker stiff right hand, Quintana found herself engaged in an unnecessary brawl that McMorrow took advantage of by the end of the round as she trapped Quintana against the ropes and unleashed a barrage of punches until the end of the stanza.
The final round was a total give and take as neither fighter wanted to give an inch and threw punches for the full two minute round as they circled thru every inch of the ring.
At the end of the bout, the judges saw a majority draw with Fritz Warner and Alejandro Rochin scoring 38-38 while Jose Cobian seeing it 39-37 for Quintana.
San Diego jr. welterweight Jesse Isias just had to much with Alan Sanchez of Fairfield, CA, as the out of towner used an effective one-two punch that found its home square in the face of Isias through out the four round bout. Half way through the fourth round, Sanchez landed a hard right hand straight to the chin of the hometown favorite that sent Isais straight to the canvas. Near the end of the round, both fighters engaged in a heavy handed exchanged all the way to the sound of the last bell. Sanchez earns a tough fought first win seeing his record go to 1-0 while Isias tastes defeat for the first time seeing his record go to 1-1. Official scores were 40-33 three times.
In a raging jr. welterweight brawl, the all guts Pablo Armenta of Chula Vista, CA, made his pro debut a good one as he beat Faifield, CA's Danny Pantoja from pillar to post for four rounds but the judges saw a majority draw with scores of 38-38 twice and 40-36 for Pantoja. Both fighters go to 0-0-1 in their first professional fight.
In a close welterweight bout, Mario Anjeles (1-1-1) and Steven Macomber (2-3-0) fought to a four round split draw. Judge Alejandro Rochin scored it 39-37 for Macomber while Jose Cobian scored it the same for Anjeles. Fritz Warner scored it an even 38-38.
In a give and take four round brawl, Davis Ryan of Long Beach, CA, dropped Blythe, CA's pro debuter Lamont Williams in the first round with a stiff right hand only to be dropped himself in the third and fourth to lose the bout by scores of 38-35 three times.
Wiliams goes to 1-0 while Ryan searches for his first win with a record of 0-4.
Faces in the crowd: Hall of Famer "Terrible" Terry Norris, junior welterweight Ernest Johnson Jr. and heavyweight top contender Chris "Nightmare" Arreola.

Am I bitter about losing? Not really. I was trying to order some 'nice to have' stuff, and one of those "Arduino" toys to see what the fuss is about, nothing I really need (other than a few $ worth of header pins that I can easily buy locally).
But I am really freaking tired today due to the 45 minutes I wasted from 3AM. I've participated in 100,000 person web sales before (tickets for big music festivals) that sell out in 5 minutes. That's what I expected, not 45 mins of F5 mashing with only seeing a result once.
Still, no such thing as bad publicity and all that.
Any chance of a BatchPCB free day ? ;)

A climactic moment in a story or a series of events is one in which a very exciting or important event occurs.

yay, I (think I) put in a request for these.
Will have to get some with my next order, that way I won't have to join a M-M and an M-F together any more :)

War Rocket Ajax #13: Jess Fink on Steampunk Robo-Erotica 'Chester 5000′ [Podcast]
This week, ComicsAlliance's podcast is as pleased as it can be to welcome the incredible Jess Fink to the show to talk about Chester 5000 XYV, an erotic tale of Victorian robotics and bare-chested science, newly released in print from Top Shelf! Plus, we have a truly ridiculous amount of Spin Doctors related content — and you can listen to the show right here at ComicsAlliance!War Rocket Ajax v.2, #13: Sorry, Dudes with Jess Fink
NOTE: We're in the middle of some server issues, so the iTunes feed may not update on time. Stream it above, or visit WarRocketAjax.com to download this week's episode in mp3 format.
In addition to Jess Fink, Chris and Matt also welcome a pair of special guests to this week's show: Awesomed By Comics hosts Evie and Aaron, who are celebrating their 150th show this week! They drop by, and as is the case with our show, things quickly get off track with a discussion of the Spin Doctors before coming back around to a brief report on South Carolina's Cola-Con and a great deal of discussion of the first week of DC's New 52.
Once Jess arrives, she gives us some insight into how she decided to start doing erotic comics:
I've gotten comments before where people are like "Oh, you're so brave, you're so brave to draw sex and penises and vaginas and stuff." I don't feel like that's the stuff I'm really brave about, because I always wanted to draw that type of stuff. I was always interested in doing it, and when I was in college, a teacher of mine sort of encouraged me to do it. He told me that I could actually make money for doing stuff for Fantagraphics, and I was like "Oh, I can make money doing it! That would be great!"
So I started doing stuff for Fantagraphics, and then I kind of just decided I'd like to do something that was longer form, maybe put it on the web.
She also tells us a little about her influences:
One of the things was the Tijuana Bibles, which are these really dirty comics from the '30s and '40s, and they're just filthy. I'd read this book and I had no idea that the people from the past were so dirty! I thought they were, like, demure and sheltered!
And talks a little about the reactions Victorian robot romance provoke from her readers:
I didn't get, like, an overload of comments like this, but I did get a bunch of comments that were like "Why isn't there a lady robot? Make a lady robot for Chester!"
People get really angry at my comic, too. People get into arguments on the website, in the comments, about how they hate Priscilla and she's such a bitch and she's cheating on the Scientist and they want him to win and why doesn't the Scientist make a lady robot for Chester? The problem will be solved! Let's put a huge, horrible band-aid on this problem and make it worse!
Plus, from Philadelphia, Hall & Oates!
Show Notes:

Comics Reviewed:
This week's focus is squarely on DC's relaunch, as we discuss this week's offerings from the "New 52." Specifically, we tackle OMAC #1, which "has something that all of the other ones I've read have been sorely lacking, which is fun," Detective Comics #1, featuring the line "'this fire is spreading like a book of matches,' which means nothing," and Action Comics #1, which we all liked quite a bit.

Dark Vision
Okay, i know i'm starting a little early. I started a masquerade group for next year's AX. Right now i'm searching for a San Diego cosplayer to do Cloud from FF7. Has to somewhat look the part and able to handle a sword(i can also teach it a little). CRITICAL: willing to survive my action sequences. Meaning martial arts training is a plus. We probably will need one or two more people also for other parts. A female ff character of some sort and bad guy. Building your own costume is preferred, but i can help with anything, already making all the weapons (new skill learned for comic con). Since this is my first masquerade act i'm being critical about quality. So i hoping to pull this off. Arigato gozimasu.

New Canadian member with a '12 Focus - Progress Thread
Hello everyone, new member (And new Focus owner) here.
My name's Bill, and I'm from Alberta, Canada. I was in the market for a 'new' car to take over the winter-driving duties from my ongoing project, a '92 Grand Prix SE:
While I was actually focusing on finding a '94-'01 Integra coupe, the search ultimately turned into looking for a
car instead. I work at a local Ford dealership as a detailer, so I've been able to see many 2012 Focuses up close and I really liked what I saw. I was ultimately able to find one in the body style, colour, and transmission combination I wanted-even better, it was at the dealer I worked at.
No matter what car I bought, it HAD to be manual. As far as Focuses went, I was set on Yellow Blaze, and I really liked the style of the sedan. Bingo. Coincidentally, the cheque was handed over on my birthday (22nd) and the day after my co-workers and I prepared it for delivery and I took it home.
Yellow Blaze SE sedan with a 5-speed and the Sport package.
Now, one of the reasons for going with a brand-new car was to have warranties, so voiding them is out of the question. However, I can't leave well enough alone and have started looking for minor things to change to make it a little different than other '12 Focuses in my area. So far, I've tinted the fog lights yellow with some leftover vinyl, which was used to tint the fog lights on my Grand Prix.
As time passes more and more small changes will be made to the car, but regardless I'm very happy with it. It's fun to drive and with the yellow paint, really stands out against the other cars around it.

Anna Azbel. Childhood Portrayed
24 may—10 july 2017
The Russian Museum presents the personal exhibition of the photographer Anna Azbel "Childhood Portrayed".
Kid's photography requires specific approach – not only technical skill, knowledge and good circumstances. In many respects it demands sincerity, mutual trust and willingness of the photographer to experience the moment of collaboration with the child.
A Penny Saved Is a Penny Gained
1 march—15 may 2017
The exhibition presents the state payment signs of Russia (coins and paper money) belonging to the period from the time of Peter I to 1917. The exposition includes all major types of Russian cents and rubles of that period (till 1915 when the last imperial rubles were released).
The collection of masterpieces, chosen by the Russian Museum will allow you to make a first impression of the collection of the Russian Museum.
Russian Museum - one of the world's largest museums and is perhaps the only country where such a full treasure of national culture are presented.

I think it's a tough call. Police officers are the only people who are legally authorized to give us tickets, take us to prison, and otherwise treat us in ways that we wouldn't accept from other people. It's for the best of society -- but on an individual basis it can be very difficult for people to accept that another person has that kind of power over them.
Many people don't react well when that power is exerted -- both verbally and physically. I trust the people around me not to shoot me -- because they have no reason to. If I was a police officer, I might worry that they felt a reason to.
On the other hand, I've never heard of a person with a carry permit shooting a police officer at a traffic stop. I'm sure it's happened sometime, but it's not a regular thing. In light of that, it certainly feels like police ought to have faith in carry permit holders.
Only problem: having faith in people they don't know, is generally a great way for police to get hurt. Goes against a heck of a lot of training and good instinct.
In short: I don't like it, but I understand why they feel a need to do it. As long as it's done politely and respectfully, I'm reluctantly understanding and willing to see it from their point of view.

Jordan: 48 Corruption Cases Referred to Court
Jordan's Anti-Corruption Department has referred 48 corruption cases to judicial authorities in the past four months, the Jordan Times reported Sunday.
Jordan's Minister of Administrative Development Mohammad Thuneibat said in an interview with the local channel JTV that "the government is exerting all possible efforts to stem corruption, including wasta (favoritism and nepotism) and has drafted an ambitious plan to reform the public administration."
He said it was hoped that Parliament would shoulder its responsibility by halting requests for the government to fill particular vacant public administration posts because the government could not meet such requests, said the daily.
More than 57 percent of the state's budget is spent on the salaries of civil servants.
According to the minister, deputies instead should support government-sponsored legislation that will help fight corruption.
A new law governing the Civil Service Commission, which is responsible for filling jobs in government departments, is being submitted to the prime ministry, Thuneibat said, adding that the law was as a qualitative step towards reforming the public administration.
The new law, he explained, sets job descriptions for every civil servant and seeks to place qualified candidates in all positions – Albawaba.com

Summer's saying hello again. One last upper-seventies hurrah before autumn prevails. Outback, it is. Tepid and somehow sterile air belies mid-state wildfires. Maybe all the better to take in a new taste. Feeling more grasshopper than ant, suppose it's best to visit the Elysian Apocalypse series again. This time, in the form of Fallout Green Cardamom Pale. December 21, here I come.
Artwork, as usual, is intriguing. Love the ominous, fleshy strands spilling forth from storm clouds. Really need to pick up that Black Hole graphic novel. Only could guess how much more contextualized this tasting could be.
Getting to it, the open reveals herb-garden overtones to an obviously pale brew. Pour releases pleasant, sweet-and-savory cardamom with a hint of hops. Taste is even spicier than smell. Cardamom pepperiness travels the whole of the palate, leaving just enough room for backseat hop-bitterness. Fallout is a medium-bodied brew that really shines in being what it is; an experimental beer employing hops as a vehicle for trucking herbaceous oeuvre. Fallout is as much aperitif as ale. love everything about this brew – especially the faithful, wet-grass translation of the green cardamom. C'est Magnifique!
Slowly approaching the bottom, Fallout is fomenting thoughts of a full-time offering in the vein of this friendly freak. Can't wait to move through the rest of the apocalypse series. Step 3 complete, unleash the hounds!

Car: 2004 v70R GT
Driving to work today I got the rain squeal for the first time had the car about three weeks now. It had the stock exhaust along with the EBD. After work I headed over to a muffler shop and had them take the resonator out and weld in a straight pipe (wish I had a welder at house since I can weld )
After they were done and I left the shop I was getting a loud noticeable rubbing or grinding noise also kinda sounds like trans gears grinding with no oil doesnt sound good at all. Happened whenever decelerating or no accel load on drive train. I turned right around and went back to shop and they put it back on lift and we checked it and I couldn't find any rubbing. I even grabbed the exhaust and shook it around and lifted it up and couldn't find anything its got tons of room now??
So I left and listened to it all the way home which was a few miles. It's weird it instantly goes away when I apply a load to drive train with engine. I can two foot car and stop and it doesn't make noise while drive train is loaded. Also it drive fine under acceleration too.
It has me believing it could be a bearing in drive train or a universal in drive shaft?
You guys have any ideas of what it could be. Im pretty bummed about it Ive had car less than a month?
I got a warranty with car but its not a cpo car. Im calling stealership tomorrow and make an apt to have it looked at. I hope pulling resonator doesnt void warranty
Thanks for any help.

Hospice—Not a black and white decisionMay 15, 2010
(Published in LINKS: Minority Research & Training - Spring 2010)
Hospice care, for many people, is intimately tied to this country's growing discussion about end-of-life care. Understanding different communities' knowledge and beliefs about end-of-life care, as well as the factors that influence their decision-making, are important areas of research. The burgeoning older population adds to the urgency of this work. A research study published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine (October 2009) demonstrates a difference between African American and white participants' exposure to information about hospice and discusses how this exposure might influence their views—and perhaps use—of this type of palliative care.
The survey study, which was partially funded by NIA's Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center at Duke University and led by Kimberly S. Johnson, M.D., M.H.S., found that African American participants reported less exposure to information about hospice—19 percent said they'd never heard of it—compared to their white counterparts (4 percent). In addition, while over 71 percent of white participants said they had heard a lot about hospice, the same degree of familiarity was true for only slightly more than 47 percent of African American participants.
"These findings are not entirely surprising," explains Johnson. "African Americans have been historically underrepresented in hospice, and previous studies have similarly discovered that African Americans know less about hospice than whites. However, we were surprised to find that such a large proportion of African Americans in our sample (almost one-fifth) had not even heard of hospice given how common hospice care is throughout the United States."
Investigators found that participants who were more familiar with hospice had more positive beliefs and attitudes about some aspects of hospice care. For example, if facing death, both African Americans and whites who reported greater exposure to information about hospice were more likely to agree that they would want hospice care. Researchers also identified differences between the views of African American and white participants regardless of participants' familiarity with hospice. With increasing exposure to information about hospice, African American participants were more likely to disagree with the statement, "I wouldn't need hospice if I were dying because my family would take care of me." Among white participants, responses to this statement were not related to the degree of exposure to information about hospice.
White participants who reported greater exposure to information about hospice were more likely to disagree with the statement, "hospice care means you get no treatment," compared to African American participants with a similar exposure. The researchers think a cultural difference might be at the root of a common misconception among African American participants that people in hospice do not receive any treatment. Participants may define treatment as a cure for a disease rather than comfort care. The quality of formal hospice information that African American participants received in the past along with what they heard from families who used hospice may also contribute to their misapprehension.
"This research supports the need for educational programs especially designed for underrepresented populations that will dispel myths about hospice and provide them with the information necessary to make informed choices about end-of-life care," concludes Johnson.
Johnson and her team continue to explore how culture influences end-of-life decisions, including the choice to use hospice. She plans to use findings from her research to develop educational programs that will address knowledge gaps and disparities in this final stage of care.
If you are looking for general information about end-of-life care, NIA has a publication that can help—End of Life: Helping With Comfort and Care, www.nia.nih.gov/health/publication/end-life-helping-comfort-and-care.

• lodestar •
Pronunciation: lod-stah(r) • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A guiding star, a star that shows the way, particularly Polaris, the North Star. 2. A guiding light, a principle by which we may set our course in life.
Notes: The trick in using this word is to avoid confusing lode "way, path, course, channel" with load, though nothing of any great importance hangs on it. Most dictionaries accept both spellings and, in fact, both words derive from the same source (see Word History).
In Play: Most often we use today's word in reference to a guiding principle: "'Doing well by doing good' has been and will continue to be the lodestar of this organization as long as Mr. Grace is president." We can have personal lodestars, too: "Minding my own business has been the lodestar that has gotten me safely this far in life."
Word History: Today's Good Word is an old derivative from the ancestor of lead "to guide, direct, show the way", the same source as load. The original meaning of lode is "road, way", a path that leads somewhere. It also turns up in other words and phrases like lodestone "magnetic iron", a substance that leads pieces of steel toward it. The phrase the mother lode, referring to a major vein of some valuable metal, also relies on the sense of something long and narrow leading somewhere. Back in the 16th century a lodesman was a guide or boat pilot, again, a kind of leader. (Today we thank Mark Bailey, a lodestar and Grand Panjandrum of the Alpha Agora, for furnishing the lead to this exceptionally Good Word.)

Low birthweight, which can be caused by inappropriate intrauterine growth or prematurity, is associated with development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as well as pre-eclampsia later in life, but the relative effects of prematurity and inappropriate intrauterine growth remain uncertain.
Through nation-wide registries we identified all Danish mothers in the years 1989–2007. Two separate cohorts consisting mothers born 1974–1977 (n?=?84219) and 1978–1981 (n?=?32376) were studied, due to different methods of registering birthweight and gestational age in the two periods. Data was linked with information on GDM, pre-eclampsia and education.
In a multivariate logistic regression model the odds of developing GDM was increased by 5–7% for each week the mother was born before term (p?=?0.018 for 1974–1977, p?=?0.048 for 1978–1981), while the odds were increased by 13–17% for each standard deviation (SD) reduction in birthweight for gestational age for those who were small or normal for gestational age (p<0.0001 and p?=?0.035) and increased by 118–122% for each SD increase above the normal range (p<0.0001 and p?=?0.024). The odds of pre-eclampsia was increased by 3–5% for each week the mother was born before term (p?=?0.064 and p?=?0.04), while the odds were increased 11–12% for each SD reduction in birthweight for gestational age (p<0.0001 and p?=?0.0002).
In this cohort of young Danish mothers, being born premature or with increasingly low birthweight for gestational age was associated with an increased risk of GDM and pre-eclampsia in adulthood, while increasingly high birthweight for gestational age was associated with an increased risk of GDM and a decreased risk of pre-eclampsia. Inappropriate weight for gestational age was a more important risk factor than prematurity.

Brandon Whited: Something people may not know about dance, particularly modern dance, is that we actually work toward forgetting the dance steps. Dancers spend hours upon hours learning material, practicing the intricacies and coordination of the movement and perfecting it. Then we work to forget the steps. This is to say that the mark of mastery of movement is the ability to rise above the technique and work in executing the movement and simply dance it from your heart and your bones. We often refer to this as muscle memory, where your muscles almost remember so your brain can relax and you can experience the movement almost as it is happening to you. This allows you to be in the moment and truly honest, raw and vulnerable in the performance of the work. I myself, as well as other dancers i have known, have even experienced coming off stage after a dance and feeling a sense of "how did i get here," or "what just happened?" It is a lot like the common experience most people have felt of driving on 'auto pilot' where you drive a certain route on a daily basis and sometimes get to your destination without a recollection of the trip. To me this is actually the desired experience in performance. It allows me to feel fully engrossed and invested in the performance.
Chelsea Retzloff: Being a dancer is tough but totally worth it. Making time for dance, work and a personal life is difficult but again, totally worth it. As an apprentice, you have to be at class, then at rehearsal fully engaged and then run to work (so you can make money to support yourself) and then find time for sleep, relaxation, food and friends. Life as a dancer in NYC is insane; there is nothing like the feeling I get when I dance and nothing that would ever stop me from making a career in dance a possibility. You have to really want it and be fully committed to doing anything to make it happen.
Being an apprentice with Shen Wei means being committed to spending a lot of time diving into an extremely technical and intellectual process that involves so much skill and finesse to fulfill Shen Wei's creative vision. There are so many pieces and so many specifics to learn that you have to start at the beginning by getting to know each piece, then learning the main phrases from each section of each piece, applying the concepts that helped develop the piece to the movement you have learned and then eventually getting to rehearse the work with company members and hopefully perform and tour with the company.
I am really excited to go to Berlin with the company because I feel like I will get to see how the rehearsal process gets transformed into the performance process. I have toured with other companies but I have heard the the technical process is very involved for Shen Wei's work so it will give me a lot of insight for what to expect as a dancer with the company.

Missed the performances? Join the Shen Wei Dance Arts Facebook Group to receive invitations to all the latest events!
Read our interview with SWDA dancer, Brandon Whited to get a sense of what was performed, how the crowd reacted, and what kind of performances Shen Wei has planned for the future. Don't miss the next event on Friday, November 5th!
1. Guerilla performances–what a wonderful idea for an event! Has SWDA done anything like this before? Want to give us a hint about any cool performance ideas you are toying with for the future?
To my knowledge this is the first time SWDA has performed in this way. The nature of Shen Wei's work as high art tends to thrive mainly in a controlled concert stage setting where he can create a different world on stage. I think the nature of Re- III and its fairly abstract style lends itself to this outdoor, guerilla style performance option. As far as I know, future plans in this format include guerilla style performances in other countries and cities, when possible, as we embark on tour. Likely after seeing how these last few days went, Shen Wei will be open to more like this.
2. How did the performances go in your opinion? Can you tell us a little bit about the choreography or describe the pieces in your own words?
Despite the challenges for us as dancers with two long days dancing on concrete and in the cold yesterday, I think we pulled off some very successful performances. I think in each setting we really tried to immerse ourselves in the surroundings completely. For this event we performed only Re- III. It is a piece that was born from Shen Wei's experience traveling the length of the silk road. Re- III is a kind of expression of the clash of cultures he experienced as he traveled westward across China toward the Middle East where the gateway to the west for trade is located. That coupled with his experiences getting to know a new American culture, and more specifically the culture in New York City inspired Re- III. The piece is a look at the differences between the emphasis on individualism and collectivism in the cultures of the west and east respectively. It makes no effort to express that one or the other of these cultural essences is "right," but simply holds a mirror to them as a means of understanding our differences and the value of both sensibilities. (These are my impressions and understandings of what Re-III is, not necessarily the direct words of Shen Wei.)
3. What was the crowd reaction like?
I found the crowds' reactions to be extremely varied. Depending on where we were, the crowds responded to us as either a show or an experience. I found that when in front of the Library and the Met Museum the audience took on a quiet observational air, much like in a theatre setting. In Times Square, though, the space was the most defined like a stage, and the excited energetic people there tried to talk and interact with us while we were performing. In smaller settings that are even more guerilla style, I found that there was a more casual, playful energy. Some people down on Wall Street tried joining into our marching lines, sharing weight and even forming their own lines. It was very fun to see how different people in different settings responded to our work.
Don't want to miss the next event? Here are the details:
Shen Wei Dance Arts Salon
Friday, November 5 · 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Location: Park Avenue Armory, 4th Floor
More Info:
In celebration of the SWDA Tenth Anniversary, Shen Wei will be creating new work and developing his vision for the future of the company. The Dance Salon is a rare opportunity to meet Shen Wei, guest artists, and company dancers for 'behind-the-scenes' presentations of the creative process and intimate dance performances.
Shen Wei took his dancers to the streets of NYC to perform excerpts of RE (III). The project will continue …around the world wherever the company performs and will be documented with video and photography, and disseminated on the Internet as a way of taking dance to the people. Join us to see how the project was conceived and how it related to Shen Wei's vision for the future of modern dance, with live performance excerpts of RE (III).

What would be your advice to young dancers who want to dance for Shen Wei someday?
Come take class.
Tell me about your first time experiencing the company. What was it like?
I first saw Shen Wei Dance Arts perform at the American Dance Festival in 2004. I was immediately struck by the breadth of his vision. Never before had I seen a world so completely realized onstage. Every element: costumes, decor, movement quality, musical choices seemed to be in service of this one singular voice. I knew then that I wanted to get closer to this man, to gain access to whatever it was that he and his dancers were connecting with.
By happenstance, the person sitting next to me during this performance, Jenna Fakhoury, would also later come to dance for the company. We didn't know it at the time, but she and I would premier a new work by Shen Wei at the same festival together five years later.
What do you think Shen Wei saw in you as a dancer?
One thing I respect about Shen Wei is that he's not interested in filling his company with people who look just like him, or any one kind of dancer. He employs a broad range of dynamic performers and encourages them to bring themselves to the work in intimate ways. I think he saw in me my eagerness to understand his technique, and my willingness to throw myself inside of it.
Who is your favorite dancer and why? Who are your big dance role models?
I had the good fortune of being exposed to Edwin Denby's Dancers, Buildings, and People in the Streets early in my training. This collection of dance writings opened me up to draw inspiration not only from the dancers I admire, but also the countless other forms of movement vocabulary on full view in subway cars, at sporting events, and among other incidents of live theater in New York City.
That being said, I was particularly thrilled to witness, in recent performances, the thoughtful, and expertly nuanced performances by artists in the companies of Pina Bausch, Ohad Naharin, and Merce Cunningham (Rainer Behr, Doug Letheren and Silas Riener, respectively, being standouts for me).
Did you have to overcome anything major in order to become a dancer?
Every dancer I know has faced obstacles along the way. No one (or no one I know anyway) was told that this was something they had to do. Very few, in fact, were readily encouraged. My path was perhaps a bit more roundabout than most – spending time as an economics major at Vassar College, an intern at the United Nations, or as a "shadow" at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital are not known dance career jump starts – but everyone's path is different.
What song or piece of music makes you want to get up and dance?
Wendy Whelan, principal dancer with New York City Ballet, was once asked in an interview what she looked for in a dance partner. She replied: "I like any guy who will look into my eyes. Then I can relax and let go." I feel similarly about music. Anything and everything that feels like it's cutting through the noise to get to me, I'll get up and dance with.

What would be your advice to young dancers who want to dance for Shen Wei someday?
Of course any opportunity to see the company or take a workshop is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the movement and start exploring it on your own body. But I think one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself as a dancer is to go above and beyond to make yourself comfortable in your own skin. To take the time and give yourself the freedom and trust to discover who you are as an artist and to offer that uniqueness to the people you work with, while still providing an open palette of possibility for their own artistic input. I think the combination of individuality and openness in a dancer can make the creative process and working relationship really exciting and fruitful for any choreographer (and any dancer as well).
What drew you to Shen Wei's work? What makes him unique to work with as a choreographer?
Something that continually draws me into Shen Wei's work is the way he develops the aesthetic of each piece. For me there is a kind of intoxicating fullness to the worlds he creates on stage, an environment that he constructs visually, musically and physically in the sensibility of the movement that makes me really sink into what's going on. So there's something very tangible about the specific world of each piece, but the worlds retain their abstractness…so that you're never crossing the line into a familiar world, or a place that you could describe easily with words we use every day in the environment around us. It's very satisfying and stimulating for me to be drawn in that way, both as an audience member and a performer.
How did you first get into dancing?
I started as a small tyke tumbling around in gymnastics classes and then caught the ballet bug when my older sister starting taking classes at a studio back home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I remember hanging on the door outside her classes and hopping around, just itching to get in there. And it's been a passion that has kept me itching and hopping ever since!
What is your training background?
I studied ballet with Gisela Genschow in Santa Fe for 13 years and towards the end of high school I got a little more exposure to modern dance and became really interested in learning more about that kind of movement sensibility and was very fortunate to have many wonderful teachers in Santa Fe and in college at Tisch who gave me more and more tools for exploring the sensation of movement outside of a ballet structure. But I mean, I love ballet. It's an intelligence and a physical engagement that I will always really value and enjoy investing in. And I love taking ballet class with the information that I've gained as a modern dancer. The lines are really not so concrete for me…there's a happy blurring in there when you can just start to approach things as movement rather than as a codified, rigid "technique".
What is the most challenging thing about being a Shen Wei dancer?
Ah, big question! I think, for me, one of the most challenging aspects is being fully, vigorously honest with the physical tone or quality of Shen Wei's movement while still finding personal ownership of it. It's never a situation of "Look at me…I am Cecily doing this movement". It's "Look at this movement, look at this physical construct, look at the situation this movement puts my body in" and the challenge comes in investing so purely and honestly in that physical situation that it then becomes something that is a full expression of me without an active imposition of myself onto the movement.
What song or piece of music makes you want to get up and dance?
Just kidding.
If you weren't a dancer, what do you think you would do with your life?
Well, I am continually humbled and awed by the knowledge that I have a relationship with my career that is guided by passion first and foremost. And although I'm not honestly sure what specifically my life might be like, or will be like, when for whatever reason my relationship with dance isn't what it is now, my hope and goal is that my relationship with passion will still be the guiding force. So that whatever the next step is, it is a step guided by passion and because of that it will be a step that brings as many gifts and challenges and adventures as dance has brought to my life as it exists right now.
What are some of your interests other than dance?
Well, I really love words. And languages. And the inherent complexities and rules there. I also love cooking (although I am fully aware that love does not automatically connotate talent!) and I enjoy travel. Honestly, it's a pretty open book and I'm not sure what world will crack open for me after dance but I am excited to learn it…whatever it is.

How did you first get into dancing?
I first began dancing as a young child at home. My first dance memories are of dancing with my father to music from the jukebox in the family room. As I entered school I began gymnastics and eventually began taking ballet. My study of ballet was inspired by attending an end of the year performance of a family friend and begging my mother to take at that particular studio.
What is your training background?
I began my dance training at the Center of Ballet and Dance Arts in Syracuse, NY under the direction of Deborah Boughton. Here I studied ballet, jazz and modern dance. For college, I went on to study at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA under the direction of Donna Faye Burchfield, and earned both my undergraduate and master's degrees. During this time I also studied extensively at the American Dance Festival (ADF). My time at Hollins truly shaped who I am as a dancer and introduced me to a world that would become my community. It was actually at Hollins that I first met Shen Wei when he performed a solo work on campus, taught a masterclass and spoke to our Dance History class.
What drew you to Shen Wei's work? What makes him unique to work with as a choreographer?
I first worked with Shen Wei as a student at ADF in the summer of 2000 for the creation of Near the Terrace, which was followed by the founding of Shen Wei Dance Arts. What excited me then about Shen Wei's work, and has continued to do so over the years, is the in-depth movement research involved to create a new world with each piece. The studio functions as a movement laboratory with the dancers researching ideas presented by Shen Wei. As dancers for SWDA we often create phrases Shen Wei will shape and direct. Much of the movement material is generated by the dancers and in many works, when a dancer leaves the company, a new dancer will create his or her own material within the structure of the piece rather than learn the exact choreography of the dancer they may be replacing. I feel this kind of 'play' within the work keeps the dance fresh.
If you weren't a dancer, what do you think you would do with your life?
If I weren't a dancer, I believe my path in life would be connected to the arts.
What would be your advice to young dancers who want to dance for Shen Wei someday?
My advice to young dancers is to keep an open mind and body to all possibilities. Impossible is nothing. Embrace the unlimited potential within yourself. Allow space for new ways of moving, thinking and seeing.

About Free Cure Phobias And Overcome Fear Hypnosis
This powerful cure phobias hypnosis audio is created by Elizabeth Harford, licensed UCM minister since 1993 and certified hypnotherapist by the "The National Guild Of Hypnotists" in 2001.
Do you have phobias and fears of any kind?
Height, flying, bugs, animals, environment, speaking, thunder, spider, darkness, loneliness, pain, failure, rejection and so on?
For example, you may be afraid of heights. It becomes irrational when you work this fear up in your mind with all kinds of irrational thoughts by imagining terrible things happening. The fear can create panic attack -- you may sweat, tremble, shake, or feel as though you can't breathe or swallow. You can have stomach cramps. No matter how severe, it all feels terrible. You can think yourself sick.
Your fear can be elevators, flying, snakes, bugs, water, or anything. The list is so long and so very common.
Fears can really put a damper on your life. You can miss out on many wonderful opportunities and fun. Including your dream job.
The good news is that fears and phobias can be overcome, even as terrifying as they may be to you now.
You can learn to take back your personal freedom and enjoy life.
You can learn to relax and to stay calm when you approach these fears you have always had. Take a deep breath and release that fear.
You will be moving forward. After the first time facing it and conquering it, you will feel so good.
Wondering what was the fear about all these years after all? You feel safe.
You feel relieved and comfortable. And you'll feel a brand new independence.
That is what Hypnosis can do for fears and phobias.
Hypnosis sets your mind to think a certain way. Get rid of the old unhealthy habits and bring in the new way of thinking and feeling.
Be brave and confident.
Release all of the old negative feelings.
Get your life back. Be in total control.
It's a great feeling. It is a feeling of freedom.
This hypnosis audio used to be sold in a CD for $30 but you can now get the ad-supported version for free.
Download the Free Cure Phobias and Overcome Fear Hypnosis App for FREE today.
What Is Hypnosis In General
Hypnosis is a state of heightened suggestibility, allowing the subconscious mind to accept suggestions easily, while in hypnosis. Habits that one has had for a long time can be eliminated altogether, or they can be changed to healthier and more beneficial choices.
Hypnosis has highly positive results. In fact, scientists say that we use less than 10% of our potential - that being our conscious mind-- the other 90% being our subconscious mind. Hypnosis taps into the subconscious mind, unlocking it. Getting rid of the habits and problems and replacing them with new, positive lifestyle changes.
Hypnosis can benefit everybody in every walk of life and proven. It helps to make everyone the best they can be at whatever they are trying to change or challenge in life.
