The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Florida and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

My response to summer's mini-revival of crop tops was to ignore them and hope they went away. Should the flank-venting shirts that have been spotted on celebs like Gwen Stefani and Rihanna actually become a trend, I'm taking the same plan of action. What about you?
Gwen Stefani really enjoyed the breeze at the park over the weekend…
…while Ashley Tisdale played peek-a-boo at last night's premiere of Fame…
…and Rihanna went for the full side-Monty in New York yesterday.
So, are bare sides the new cleavage? And what about exposing your bra—Carrie Bradshaw was a fan, yes, but would you go there? Does the slightly fancier material of Tisdale's top make hers seem less like weightlifter-wear? Vote, then let me if you'll be letting it all hang, below.

Hyderabad, Mar 3: May be it was the tension with regards to the security arrangements that got the better of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) which made a faux pas at the start of the second Test between India and Australia.
The local association forgot to pay tribute to victims of the bomb blast at Dilsukhnagar at the beginning of the match. Having realised their mistake, a two-minute silence was observed on the second day by the players of both teams.
"There was a lack of coordination because we were so stressed to ensure that all security arrangements were foolproof," admitted former Hyderabad opener and senior official Dr M V Sridhar.
A BCCI official remarked that players were "even ready on the first day as it should have been the case. But it was the prerogative of the local association."
In the end, it was the case of better late than never.

Today I walked around the house, trying to get someone to LET ME OUTSIDE!!! I got attacked by Ziggy and Skipper, hissed at them, and got them yelled at by my human for bugging me, ;) it's nice to be smaller! After that they FINALLY let me outside. I was so happy, just rolling around in the new found sun... we just had about a WEEK of rain, and I was fed up with it, so I was glad to be outside in the sunshine.
That's all for now!
Tonight I was laying in the basement, when Dad, Erik, Bryna, and Leah came downstairs and watched Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I slept on Leah's lap almost the whole time, but I got up and got a drink halfway though the movie. When I came back, I jumped back onto Leah's lap, and she let me sleep there for the rest of the movie. Bryna didn't watch the whole movie. Well i didn't either, really. I was sleeping the whole time ;)
*meow*meow* That's all for now!

Yesterday was interesting... I was just sitting downstairs on my cabinet when the whole family came down and started moving stuff around and cleaning up! They came up to me a few times and told me how cute I was, the started working again. Then the boy came over and started to organize all the movies in my movie cabinet I was on! I meowed at him and ran off, scared he would tip over the cabinet or something. I walked over and sat next to the stairs, just watching everyone, then I went upstairs and napped for a while.

Yes, they should. I've spent my life analyzing facts, research, and objective data and my training has forced me to analyze that data and make conclusions based on those facts and research. That carries over into other issues that may not pertain to my career. What's your excuse?

SAFE MOBILITY, new concept, new model?
One of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, especially in the developing world, is to control and reduce the number of injuries and fatalities on roadways.
Gustavo Alonso Cabrera Arana, MPH, DrPH
Professor of Public Health at the Universidad de Antioquia, MedellÍn, Colombia
The United Nations recognized this challenge when it proclaimed 2011-2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety, aiming to save five million lives by taking concrete actions to improve the safety of road users. In his presentation, Dr. Gustavo Alonso Cabrera Arana will discuss the limitations of Haddon's Matrix, an injury prevention concept that formed the basis of Colombia's 2011-2016 National Plan of Road Safety. He will then describe the new injury prevention model, created by a team at the University of Antioquia in conjunction with the National Department of Science and Technology (COLCIENCIAS), that was used in the Plan of Safe Mobility MedellÍn 2013-2020 in MedellÍn, Colombia.

"There's nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as messing about in boats." So said Rat, in one of the most often-quoted lines from
Wind in the Willows
I myself do not much like messing about with boats, which involves a lot of physical labour and oil stains, but I am happy that so many other people do. If our ancestors, in their restless hunting and gathering days, had come to the edge of rivers, lakes and oceans and simply stopped at their banks and shores and stared out, wistfully curious to know what lay on the other side, but without the imagination to conceive of a means of satisfying that curiosity, there would be no Christopher Columbus, no Ferdinand Magellan, no Vasco de Gama.
Also, no cruise-ship industry.
Until not too long ago, I would have rated cruise ships below blowfish sashimi and the Exxon Valdez on a list of the ocean's contributions to mankind. I entertained all of the conventional stereotypes of cruise ships as floating, geriatric fattening pens. But my husband and I generally despise the rigors of terrestrial travel. And with our friends systematically devouring the planet for years, and our paucity of passport stamps becoming an embarrassment, we might otherwise have ended up with tombstones reading, "Their horizons were narrow, but their carbon footprints were exemplary."
Our first cruise sortie was to the Caribbean. We immediately adored the ease and predictability of remaining fixed while our destinations came to meet us — which is to say, the reverse of real travelling. However, we quickly learned that Caribbean cruising is mainly for people who like to eat a lot or drink a lot or both, but does not seem to attract the kind of people who like to think a lot, so dinner conversations left much to be desired. We became more selective about our destinations.
This was about 15 years ago. One of the first freelance pieces I ever submitted to the
National Post
was a humorous piece describing my growing interest in the cruise-ship lifestyle. I will never forget how excited I was to see it in print. Over an early breakfast, I kept staring at my byline in amazement. I am famous, I thought, imagining the many readers drinking their morning coffee and chuckling over it, sharing some of the wittier bits with their spouses, and recalling their pleasure in it as they went about their day's business.
And no doubt, a few readers did, indeed, react in exactly that manner. Until about 9am. The dateline on that piece was September 11, 2001.
Several years went by in our household with colourful brochures from the big cruise lines dumped directly into the recycling bin
Our enthusiasm for ocean cruising was dampened by the Norwalk virus, which swept several of the big ships in the 1990s. The news reports of the worst cases produced nightmarish visions of thousands of people huddled in a giant, overflowing sewer with no escape. Several years went by in our household with colourful brochures from the big cruise lines offering ridiculously discounted voyages dumped directly into the recycling bin.
Then Viking River Cruises started sponsoring
Masterpiece Theatre
on PBS.
cruising … Why had I never thought of that before? On one of these ships, I thought, we would be with only a few hundred other people — with whom I could share my adoration of Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess of Grantham and debate the respective merits of Lady Mary's dueling suitors.
But the real attraction, I could see at once, is that you can get off a riverboat any time you need to. You won't end up in a sewer if a virus strikes. I was sold.
As it happens, this June 8 marks our 50th anniversary. We wanted to do something special to celebrate, but neither of us wanted a big party. A river cruise seems pretty special to us. Ronny let me choose the destination. They all look fabulous. But in the end I chose "Waterways of the Tsars." It seemed to me that Ronny's fluency in Russian should be pressed into real service at last, which it ought to be in the old interior towns we'll be visiting between St. Petersburg and Moscow. (I hope in his exuberance he does not get carried away and discuss politics with anyone. That could be problematic.)
And so, until we meet again in a few weeks, I will be "messing about with boats" in a Jewish-princess kind of way. I will tell you all about it when I get back. Dosvadanya, tovarishti.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Kemp, Jessica McKelvie Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-01242007-130409 Title Soliciting Desire: The Ad-Man as Narrative Negotiation between Art, Desire, and Consumer Capitalism in Twentieth-Century Novels Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department English Advisory Committee

- american literature
- economics
Date of Defense 2006-12-07 Availability unrestricted AbstractMy dissertation identifies ways in which novelists have used an ad-man protagonist as means to investigate the social and psychological implications of advertising in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Soliciting Desire takes as its primary subjects H.G. Wells's Tono-Bungay, Theodore Dresier's The "Genius," Frederick Wakeman's The Hucksters, Jonathan Dee's Palladio, and William Gibson's Pattern Recognition and demonstrates that the ad-man character's particular constellation of traits provides a rich vehicle for fictional explorations of desire and subjectivity as they are formed in relation to ideologies of consumer capitalism and art. Guided by Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin's theories of cultural/ capitalist relations, building upon Jennifer Wicke's work on advertising in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century fiction, and drawing upon studies of intersections between economics and literature such as those conducted by Martha Woodmansee and Mark Osteen, my dissertation goes on to define the integral role of desire in navigating subjectivity amidst the symbolic orders of modern and postmodern consumer capitalism as they are depicted in these "ad-man" novels. Lacanian concepts of subjectivity and desire are central to my study, as are the ways in which these concepts are refined by Mark Bracher, Slavoj Žižek, and Kaja Silverman, all of whom insist that psychoanalysis has valuable applications extending beyond the individual, into the social and cultural realms. My dissertation finds that the ad-man character in its many manifestations actively represents dilemmas of desire and subjectivity common to each of us living in a late capitalist consumer culture in which advertising has grown from a cottage industry into a basic existential paradigm. Furthermore, my study concludes that the novel is an ideal form for exploring individual and collective engagement with consumer capitalism: within the dialectics of narrative, text, reader and context resides the possibility of analytic discourse. In the ad-man novels specifically, the potential is for discovery of the ways human desire may be constructed, channeled, or compromised by the dominant fictions of the advertising industry and for allowing such knowledge to inform one's own re-construction of desire.

Court Clerk Fired for Her Role in Helping Release Man Wrongly Convicted of Rape
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
A court clerk lost her job because she released a public record to relatives of a prisoner wrongly convicted of rape in 1984 that ultimately led to his release based on DNA tests, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Sharon Snyder, a 70-year-old great-grandmother, was fired in June from the Jackson County (Missouri) Circuit Court for giving the document to the sister of Robert Nelson, the man who was wrongly imprisoned. The document was a motion that granted DNA testing to a prisoner, which Nelson's sister followed to file her own motion, which was also granted.

so i own a stock 08 WK.. 4.7L v8
I was currently running the stock wheels and fortera hl tires size 245/65/17s...
Unfortunately.. My WK got hit by a drunkdriver while it was parked..messed up my rear quarter panel pretty badly.. thats neither here nor there though... SO while it is in the shop, I needed new tires anyway and decided I wanted to go a bit bigger...I like to camp so even small trailing through the woods, I'd like the boost..and just for general eye appeal as well...
I decided to tell them to seperately make me up an invoice for some new tires a a 2" BB suspension lift to fit them.. I heard 265/70/17 were the norm with a 2" BB lift... So I got a good deal on a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3s 265/70/17s... and they are gonna do the 2" BB lift... I'm getting a bit concerned now, bc I've read things saying that the tires wont fit without wheel spacers??... I'm a total n00b, first jeep.. i know what a wheel spacer is.. but is this true? if so, how much are these spacers (assuming the 2 in the front) going to cost me?!... I'm already spending a lot on the lift and 4 tires ...plus i have to lay out my 500$ deductible from the accident....
So my 2 ?'s are...
Will I need anything else other than the 4 tires and the 2"BB Lift to be completely good?..I really can't be laying out a lot more money here..
(might be a stupid question)..but can I use the 265/70/17 Coopers on my stock jeep wheels? I hear people talking about how they needed to switch to aftermarket wheels and now I'm really getting nervous about costs...
Please help... Thanks!
Re: First Time lift/bigger tires...help!
can anyone provide some insight? will i need to use spacers to avoid rubbing? .... is trimming the bolt down to the start of the threading a better option? any feedback would be appreciated. thanks
Re: First Time lift/bigger tires...help!
I'm not an expert on this, but I can see you're getting impatient so I'll try to clarify a thing or two.
The stock wheels will fit the 265-70-17s. As far as I'm aware it's getting close to the widest you can run on them...?
Will they fit without spacers? Yes, they technically will fit.
However, there's a very good chance that with regular driving, and even the slightest amount of off-roading you're going to contact the ball joint bolt on the upper control arm, and/or contact the metal ridge behind the wheel well.
Spacers run about 100/set.
Do some searching around on here and you can find the answer to all the questions you've asked and probably plenty more.
Re: First Time lift/bigger tires...help!
you will need wheel spacers even with the lift. that bolt is just too annoying. ive researched this as well
Re: First Time lift/bigger tires...help!
trimming the bolt would work for 265/55/17 i believe and even then, its a realllllly tight fit. im bummed that i have to get wheel spacers too, so youre not alone haha
Re: First Time lift/bigger tires...help!
Thanks for the insight dane.p, I already did all my lift stuff about a month ago, so I figured it all out already but I appreciate the response regardless..
at first, I really didnt want to do spacers, but in reality.. i'm glad i did. I like the aggressive stance it gave my WK. and I didnt want to trim that bolt. only pain is obviously more work if you ever have to get to anything beyond them in terms of mods/repairs.. I also did the pinch weld, I'm glad I did that as well, I have extra clearance now and never worry about rubbing at all.. plus i can probably even fit 285s if i wanted to now...not that I'm gonna. I like my 265/70s, but I have the option.

TBI 350 sum k1102 cam and edelbrock 5802 valve springs
Ok so heres the deal i found out the stock (peanut) cam on my TBI 350 is worn since it's got 280,000 miles on it so I looking into buying the summit k1102 cam but I don't know on what springs are best for that cam I was thinking edelbrocks 5802 springs would do the trick since they recommend those springs for their 2102 cam which is exactly the same as summits let me know what you all think
What I think is if your still running TBI it's not going to like that cam.
That cam to run correctly in a TBI will require new injectors, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, a remapped computer chip which will be a guessing game without it being done on a dyno which is expensive. I recommend you use the summit 1101 cam if TBI is still in use. All you need for springs are the classic "Z28" springs which many companies make and they're dirt cheap.
When you swap the cam install a new timing chain with it. However when you change the cam you will have to check valve train geometry. If it's not on the money the valve guides will be shot in less than 15,000 miles.
However there is one more thing worth mentioning even with that cam it will still want new injectors. If I was dealing with a engine with that many miles on it I would go on and rebuild it because it's already running on barrowed time.
Yea I know I'm replacing everything thing I can valve stem seals timing set and so on as for the TBI i rebuilt it about 4 months ago the engine is in perfect running condition for a high millage motor it's got headers and true dual exhaust but the reason I want to know is if the edelbrock 5802 springs will match my cam is because I already have them
Yes, you can use the Edelbrock springs.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by MR-FAN, Jun 21, 2012.
I am so with you
As I remember, Yuka said that she did her program in tribute to Janet; and was very nervous to skate in front of her.
I took a quick peak at Janet's version. 30 seconds was enough to remind me that Curry was in a class by himself. He took the piece back to its ballet roots. He was true to the original. Janet's program was plain old generic skating like we've seen time and time again. Nothing outstanding about it. Boooring.
I looked at the other two as well, and I listed how I rate them. Sato's version has some artistic merit. Who choreographed it? Sandra Bezic?
1) John Curry
7) Yuka Sato
9) Janet Lynn
10) Carolina Kostner
I regret that you cannot appreciate why even John Curry regarded Janet as the very best example of all that is great in skating.
You miqht as well quit with the "riling up" efforts.
Like I said, Curry's ice theater interpretation is in a class by itself. He was inspired not only by Nijinksy but also by Lynn's original skate. The fact that Lynn was skating to Afternoon of a Faun in competition is what makes her performance all the more magical and amazing.
Ah, that would have limited her options. Curry's competition programs were more conservative as well.
Oh, gosh! Thank you so much for sharing this version. I wish Ilia's version would have been added to the poll.
Yuka's artistic qualities were mesmerizing. She gets my vote.
Actually this was her exhibition from 1971 Worlds. She had used the afternoon of a faun as the opening section of her LP the previous season but not at all in the 1971 season. I guess they took her old LP and extended the faun section. She did compete this program at a pro ompetition at MSG in 1983
Here's her performance at Madison Square Garden 1983:
Thanks floskate. There were two links provided earlier to Lynn's performances of Afternoon of a Faun. I was referring to the first link provided in the first post in this thread: Janet Lynn competing at 1970 U.S. Nationals. The second link posted later was Lynn's 1971 Worlds exhibition, in which we see John Curry commenting on it to his students, and praising Lynn's artistry.
Thanks for the link to Lynn's MSG performance, skatesindreams!
That MSG performance may have been her last.
You can't really compare show programs to competition programs. Its not a level playing field. Show programs will almost always be more avant-garde and interesting.
I love this piece of music and hoped to see one of my favorite skaters, Angela Nikodinov, skate her competitive free to this.
It's one of skating's lost programs, along with Nicole Bobek's "Titanic" and Michelle Kwan's "Bells of Moscow," that were never seen. All I can remember from talking to her about it was there was no 3S planned in it.
She did a gorgeous interpretive version of it for the Sears Open I believe but I can't find it on YouTube.
I think Carolina's is the best. Choreographically everything fit perfectly.
The two combo spins back to back went with the whirls in the music.
Depending on which version of the program, the turns after the second double axel (without the triple toe in combo) went awesome with the music.
Both triple loops went awesome with the music.
The spiral sequence was spot on with the music, and lead right to the footwork sequence which I consider one of the best footwork sequences ever. For a level 4 (which she got at the 2011 Worlds) there was so much speed, grace, flow, and it went PERFECTLY to the music.
Everything about the program was perfect. The best free program I've ever seen.
I love anything and everything Yuka does
My issue with Klimkin's performance is that IMO the choreography is excellent for a competition program, but his edge quality and body line are pretty mediocre for a world-class competitor, which distracts from the overall effect.

That was the beginning of our partnership and eventually lead to starting our own boutique real estate company. Having our own business allowed us to prioritize our own family while at the same time doing rewarding work each day helping other families achieve their goals. I had no idea we would still be going strong after 16 years and I am so glad we took the severance package money and bet on ourselves.

Our police state is fraying at the edges
Filed under: Current Affairs and Politics
Written by Ng E-Jay
20 July 2010
Recent events have shown unequivocally that not only has the PAP Government run the country as a police state, but also that the authorities are now getting panicky and desperate to the point that they are fumbling and making glaring mistakes.
Barely two weeks ago, a member of the National Solidarity Party (NSP) was fined by the National Environment Agency (NEA) for illegal hawking. (See here.) His alleged "offence": Selling the Party newspaper in a public area.
The NSP has written to NEA seeking a clarification on the matter, based on the fact that it was not engaging in any unhygienic activity, but merely promoting its political cause in a fashion that surely, in any democratic country, is 100% legitimate.
Apparently the authorities must have felt that NSP's activities are politically unclean and pose a political health concern (to the PAP, that is).
To this date, as far as the NSP has revealed, the NEA has yet to reply on the matter.
This is a blatant example of how the authorities have used the rules to intimidate political opposition in an attempt to silence dissent. The motive behind NEA's action is clear: To scare new activists into refraining from engaging in political activity, and to curb the spread of undesirable publications, namely those espousing views different from that of the PAP.
It gets worse, however.
Barely days after the NSP member was fined, the Media Development Authority banned Martyn See's film which shows a recording of a speech by former political prisoner Dr Lim Hock Siew.
Martyn See was ordered to take down the film from Youtube and surrender all copies of the film in his possession to the MDA, or risk facing possible jail terms and fines. He has complied with the order, but he also pointed out that anonymous people in cyberspace have chosen to continue distributing the film in defiance of the law.
Readers of this blog who also follow Malaysian politics would notice the close similarity in methods used by the ruling parties on both sides the causeway to clamp down unjustly on film-makers and activists and prevent the painful truth from being spread.
In its statement to the press, the MDA said that "the Singapore Government will not allow individuals who have posed a security threat to Singapore's interests in the past, to use media platforms such as films to make baseless accusations against the authorities, give a false portrayal of their activities in order to exculpate their guilt, and undermine public confidence in the Government in the process".
The MDA is basically asserting that it alone has the power to judge whether a certain content is accurate or not, and to ban it if it feels it is inaccurate, in the name of protecting the public interest. There is no opportunity for dialogue and debate. There is no chance for dissent and criticism, no avenue to express a view different from that of the establishment. Either remove the banned content, or face jail time, regardless of the underlying facts, regardless of whether the content was created to distort the truth, or expose the truth.
If that is not enough, just last Saturday, a Lianhe Wanbao reporter was handcuffed and detained by the police for an hour because he was taking pictures of the flood.
Apparently, nowadays anyone who takes photographs that can potentially embarrass the Government may be given the Chee Siok Chin treatment.
Fortunately, the reporter is from the mainstream press and could use the power of his editorial to expose the injustice. His outrageous story was given front page attention on his own Daily on Saturday. If he had been from alternative media instead, his case would never have been known to the general public because it would have been covered up.
According to the police statement, the reporter, Mr Shafie Goh, was trying to take photos in the middle of the road and he had been repeatedly asked to move to a safe place as he was taking photos in a dangerous position. But he refused to comply, and continued walking along the road divider, snapping away. Officers then handcuffed him. Mr Goh was not wearing any media identification at the time, and officers were not aware that he was from the press.
In addition, Minister for Environment and Water Resources Yaacob Ibrahim told Parliament on Monday that there is no ministry policy that prohibits the taking of flood pictures.
When the authorities get desperate enough and the embarrassment to the Government gets acute enough, they fumble, sometimes outrageously. That was what happened to reporter Mr Shafie Goh. Mr Yaacob Ibrahim could only offer empty assurances that did absolutely nothing to address the injustice and humiliation Mr Goh had suffered. Obviously he is at a loss for words regarding this incident, because it is so closely connected with his own ineptitude at handling the flood situation.
On Sunday morning, British author Alan Shadrake was arrested for criminal defamation and contempt of court, apparently in connection with his book "Once A Jolly Hangman" that was launched on 17 July. Mr Shadrake's book is about Singapore's mandatory death penalty for drug traffickers.
Mr Shadrake has been granted bail and has Mr M Ravi acting as his counsel.
Choo Zheng Xi of The Online Citizen speculates that the use of the draconian law of criminal defamation as well as contempt of court was motivated by Mr Shadrake's story about the trial and execution of Vignes Mourthi which he described as "arguably one of the most appalling miscarriages of justice in Singapore's history".
And to show just how tight the noose can get (no pun intended), anti-death penalty activist Rachel Zeng was apparently harassed last week. Rachel was one of the organizers of Mr Shadrake's book launch in Singapore.
How low can the powers-that-be get? How idiotic and moronic is all this?
All these incidences, put together, paint a grim picture of a Government that is surely losing control of itself.
Facing embarrassment from so many different angles and having had its incompetence as well as its draconian, autocratic ways highlighted for all the world to see and to condemn, the authorities have begun to fumble and make glaring errors that have only worsened the situation for themselves and heightened the embarrassment they are suffering.
The only viable solution for them is to admit they have steered Singapore down the wrong path and have committed human rights atrocities on their political opponents.
But to compel the authorities to admit the grave folly of their ways, we need a strong opposition presence inside and outside of Parliament, a political opposition that is able and willing to speak up on BOTH bread and butter issues AS WELL AS broader issues like democracy, social justice, and the rule of law.
If not, we'll just be running around in circles and it will be cold day in hell before the Government even comes close to admitting it is blatantly in the wrong.

With the $14,000 tax-free monthly allowance & life-long pension after 2 terms in the Parliament, no wonder most our opposition politicians aspire to be glued firmly to their seats and only open their mouths for some trivial issues.
this little city is full of jitters!
Even those with the ultimate powers.
I hate Singapore for how it will forever be the PAP way.
It's never going to change is it?
Totally agree. I didn't think that the book is totally credible when the book was first launched. After all the author's purpose was to secure higher sales. But now looking at the govt's actions, I am not so sure. THERE MUST BE SOME TRUTH IN IT. Why else is the govt so nervous?
If there is any truth in the "mata" story, let them sue SPH for libel/slander.
That will be interesting.
Otherwise, the truth is out. The photpgrapher is right!
Police State 21 July 10, 10:51 AM
I totally support Mr Shafie Goh. Everybody has the civil rights to be at a public place to witness a natural phenomenon. Journalists especially has the right to report new in the public interests. The Police has no rights to restrain peaceful people like Mr Shafie Goh who did not use violence or force against the Police. This is a gross violation of Human Rights in Singapore.
It is my personal opinion that Singapore has an environment of authoritarianism, both in the government, and to a lesser extend also in the private sector. The private sector gets its cue from the government.
I've experienced many instances of authoritarian behaviour from government servants, such as police officers, immigration officers, carpark attendents, security personnel, officious election officers among others. They have no respect for the legitimate and lawful civil rights of citizens.
These people think that they are so powerful that everybody has to listen and obey their every command, however unreasonable they may be. They think that wearing the uniform gives them extraordinary powers to abuse ordinary citizens anyway and anyhow they like. They could just issue you with a summons ticket, just by gesturing to you, and you are expected to understand what they want you to obey them immediately, just a few seconds to ask for an explanation, and you are given the ticket. No use to argue or protest. They don't understand the word "respect" for the man in the street. On the contrary, they think that they are so powerful that they expect you to obey them immediately and instantly, although you may have the lawful right as a citizen of Singapore. These bad hats may form a minority of the police force and government officers, but if they are not disciplined by those higher ups responsible for their actions, then Singapore's reputation as an authoritarian place will be confirmed to not only its citizens, but also to the rest of the world as well.
Sharfie Goh, where were you when Dr Chee Soon Juan was being handcuffed and led away by the police everytime when he exercises his Constitutional Rights?
I quote
"This is where Martin Niemoller's poem rings so loud and ominous:"
"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."
To all Lianhe Wanbao staff, I only have one thing to say, "You guys deserve it."

Daggy shirts, daggy slogans? marketing unions to young people
Bailey, Janis, Price, Robin A., Esders, Linda P., & McDonald, Paula K. (2010) Daggy shirts, daggy slogans? marketing unions to young people. Journal of Industrial Relations, 52(1), pp. 43-60.
In light of declining trade union density, specifically among young workers, this article explores how trade unions recruit, service and organize young people. Our focus is the way in which trade unions market their services to the young. We use, as a lens of analysis, the services and social marketing literature and the concept of an 'unsought, experience good' to explore trade union strategy. Based on interviews with a number of union officials in the state of Queensland, it is clear that unions see the issue of recruitment of young people as significant, and that innovative strategies are being used in at least some unions. However, the research also indicates that despite union awareness, strategies are uneven and resource allocation is patchy. While the research was carried out in one state, the results and conclusion are broadly applicable to the Australian labour movement as a whole, and have implications for union movements in other Anglophone countries.

|[jira] Closed: (JDO-48) Tests fail attempting to delete from PCPOINT

– Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has been open about recording a dance album (the album would be called 'The Boogie Knight Rises') and even working with Justin Bieber. When talking to The Revolver, he explained why…
"I want to do… something funny and sarcastic, and I'm not talking '70s dance (and) not that tired fucking dubstep bullshit. I want to make it something that's got that old school feel to it but with a modern twinge. Just get ridiculous with it. I've already got a name for myself – the Boogie Knight. And I want to call the first album 'The Boogie Knight Rises'."

Janie Miller, a Registered Nurse working in our Surgical Intensive Care Unit, is getting ready to depart on a trip she'll never forget. She'll soon be part of a mission team working with Hand of Hope * to provide assistance in Haiti. She was actually scheduled to depart before the earthquake hit, but then when it did, the team was unable to go due to safety and other concerns. Now, her team, comprised of 29 international medical professionals, will unite in Miami on January 22nd and fly together to Port au Prince. The team will spend eight days in Haiti providing medical and dental care to those in need.
When asked, "What do you have to give?"
She responded, "Well, nothing extraordinary. My purpose in going to Haiti is no different than my every day calling to the VA, I have nursing skills, God's love, and the desire to make a difference."
Janie is taking her own vacation time to be part of this mission trip and Bay Pines' applauds her for making a difference in the world. Best wishes for a successful and safe trip Janie!

These are just lovely, an antique or very early vintage pair of sterling cuff-links, with a beautifully engraved portrait of a hunting dog, which has then been overlaid with a soft bluish gray enamel to form a guilloche finish.
The details of the dog are extremely well observed, fine and well executed, the cuff-links have been marked with a makers punch, but it is somewhat worn and I found it impossible to read, but these are by a high quality maker. I estimate the cuff links date to the early 1900's, they are in good order for the age, there is some chipping and flaking and one fine crack to the enamel. I have photographed the cuff-links at high magnification, that shows the condition in great detail, at normal scale the wear is at all noticeable, and the overall effect is very fine and old.
The small plate on the opposite end of the cuff link has been monogrammed D B C, this is nicely done in italics, it could be removed by a good jeweler, but personally I would leave as is, as part of the history. The engraved part of the links measures 11/16" long, the smaller disc is 6/16".
These are beautiful antique cuff-links with a very desirable subject as the focus of their design, they would be a wonderful gift, or a fine addition to a collection.

I remember a couple years back I had to work on a Christmas Eve in a supermarket. The store was busy earlier in the day but in late afternoon it was empty. They said they were gonna send us home early but that never panned out. Eventually I just looked at the couple guys I was working with and said, " To heck with all this, lets go hide in the refrigerator and open up some eggnog." (A big walk in Refrigerator for the stores Milk, Eggs, Cheese, ETC -- the only place without cameras) We hung out in there, drank some eggnogg and talked about what 'Santa' was bringing out Children, Wives, Husbands, etc. Really it turned out to be a good time .. and I was out with more than enough time to have Xmas Eve dinner with the family.
Fezziwig is one of my favorite characters! It's great that you're similar- there's not enough of that in this world!

Why Deconstruction is Beneficial
Mathews, Benjamin P. (2000) Why Deconstruction is Beneficial. Flinders Journal of Law Reform, 4(1), pp. 105-126.
Jacques Derrida recognised the utility of his ideas to legal critique, and urged a deconstructive approach to law and justice. This discussion first acknowledges Postmodern ideas and Derrida's notion of différance, which justify the need for a deconstructive attitude. Deconstruction's motives of responsibility and increased justice are explored. Deconstruction's diagnostic value in legal critique is endorsed, and examples of its use in legal critique and reconstruction are suggested. However, weaknesses are also noted, particularly Derrida's claim that deconstruction secures justice. By deepening perceptions of entrenched legal principles, deconstruction is a valuable experience. Yet beyond deconstruction's necessary diagnostic step, further strategies are required to inspire change.

Importance of Longitudinal Stabilizing Cables in Dynamic Characteristics of Ting Kau Bridge
Yu, Ling & Chan, Tommy H.T. (2000) Importance of Longitudinal Stabilizing Cables in Dynamic Characteristics of Ting Kau Bridge. In Ko, J.M. & Xu, Y.L. (Eds.) Journal of Sound and Vibration, Elsevier, Hong Kong, pp. 467-474.
In this paper, the influence of longitudinal stabilizing cables on the modal and dynamic response characteristics of the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge is studied based on a calibrated three-dimensional finite element model. A hybrid-element cable system is adopted in the model in which all the eight longitudinal stabilizing cables are modeled by multi-element cable system taking into account the sag and tension effect (geometric stiffness) while other cables are modeled by single-element system. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge are then evaluated for the cases with all eight longitudinal stabilizing cables, with only fewer longitudinal stabilizing cables, and without any longitudinal stabilizing cable respectively. It is found that the longitudinal stabilizing cables greatly influence the global dynamic characteristics of the bridge: (l) The natural frequency of the first global mode of the bridge increases from 0.141 Hz to 0.163Hz after installing the eight longitudinal stabilizing cables; (2) The stabilizing cables result in some global modes with strong modal interaction among the deck, lowers and cables; (3) The stabilizing cables participate significantly in modal motion of certain global modes, leading to the change of the modal participation factors in dynamic response evaluation.

text: Took my 11 month old on his first hunt yesterday and today. Yesterday we got 11, today only 3. He's come a long way and we still have a LONG way to go. Pretty pleased with the pup, made all retrieves to hand, drive was high, marking was great, just wish his prey drive was a little better on cripples. He likes to get out there and goof off for about 30 secs with it before picking it up and returning to hand. Only happened a couple times in the past two days but I def need to nip this in the butt before it becomes a problem.

Website/C.com gallery:
Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item: (See attachments)
Character commissioned and series/video game: Summoner Yuna (white top, sleeves, obi and skirt)
Timeline: January 2009. (She was a bit behind with getting this costume done for January cuz of school and other commissions but nonetheless she had it done before Kei kon this month.)
Pros We bought the fabric and materials needed to make this cosplay in late December, I think it was a few weeks before Christmas and she told me she'd have it done by January. I would kindly remind her every couple of weeks just to find out how the cosplay was coming along, she assured me she was working hard and would have it done by January. When January rolled around she had it 80% complete, but was struggling with getting it done by the date we set. Though she made it up to me by keeping contact with me every step of the way. She did come through for me in the end and had it done by last week in time for Kei kon, I didn't have any time to try it on to see if there were any adjustments she had to make on it, but when I tried it on it fit me very well. Again, I knew getting a cosplay commissioned by her was worth it.
Comments I had commissioned her before when it came to my Rosebride Utena cosplay, (which I have yet to debut) she works her butt off to make sure the cosplay is satisfied and if not happy with it, she works on it and let's one know if there are any changes she has to make or need to make. I have been very fortunate to get another cosplay made by her. She is a bit on the expensive side for when it comes to commissioning, but she makes sure everything is up to standard. I HOPE to commission her one more time this year and if she's doing other commissions next year ask for another 2 or 3, lol.

Questions raised about confusion around IUPUI gunman alert
There are some serious questions this about the campus confusion during a four-hour lockdown at IUPUI in downtown Indianapolis Tuesday.
Students and faculty were ordered to stay inside IUPUI buildings and inside Riley Hospital after someone reported seeing a man with a gun on campus. No one was hurt and no gunman was found.
But the tension was high as dozens of police officers checked every inch of campus. Hours into the lockdown of the IUPUI campus, armed State Capitol Police could be seen searching the hallways of Cavanaugh Hall.
"We really didn't get a whole lot of notification," said IUPUI faculty member Gail Edelman. "In the classroom, we turned on the TV and watched what was going on from the TV."
From the beginning, information for some people seemed scarce.
"Our lab instructor didn't really know anything until she walked in the room and we told her," said Skylar Nelson, a nursing student.
That was on the fourth floor of the nursing building, where 100 nursing students waited out the ordeal inside a windowless room.
Cyndey McIntyre said, "After two hours of being trapped in a room, everybody was like, 'Okay, we got to get out of here.' And they gave us a choice - either move everybody up to the fourth floor, down to the basement, or outside."
"I was freaking out a little when I heard or got the text that said 'man with long gun on campus'," said Nelson.
She said their fears were amplified by social media reports that would later be proven false that put the alleged gunman in their building.
"We had heard that he was last seen at the nurses' building. We were, like, 'Did they lock the building down?'" said Nelson.
Confusion to what was actually happening on campus was made worse by the easy coming and going of some students in and out of buildings. Student Ben Powell was going about business as usual.
"We heard on the news we were allowed to leave at our own free will. I'm on my way to another class now," Powell said.
Another student, Lindsey Luster, said, "There was an alert out saying if you drove or took a bus, you could leave freely. But if you walked, you would probably get stopped."
Official tweets from IUPUI said "lockdown" was a poor choice of words. But as we watched armed police search the hallways, students were being told to remain on high alert and remain in a safe shelter.
Outside, some people, like Josh Penley, were moving on.
"I'm surprised they, like, let people go out if they wanted to, with how serious it has been lately with all of these gun incidents around the country," said Penley.
Suggested Links
It just may have been the heightened sense of awareness that sparked the "lockdown" in the first place, when a student thought she saw a rifle in the trunk of another student's car.
"From what we can tell, the gun never left the trunk of the car," said IUPUI Police Capt. Bill Abston.
Smart phones were the method most students received and spread the information, but it was also smart phones and social media that escalated some of the information.
