Cutting my own hair for funsies! *UPDATE* Pg. 2 Pictures
I've been trying to grow my hair to BSL, but it's been driving me crazy and I wanted a change, so what could be more natural than grabbing the scissors and hacking away?!? This was inspired by all the recent "I cut my own hair and it looks awesome" threads.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I probably need to fix some of the layers so they blend better, but I'm waiting to do that after I've lived with the cut for a day or two. What do y'all think? I'm totally up for suggestions on how to improve the cut.
Edit: Update on page 2 with pictures of the new bob.
You did a great job! The hair around my face is unpredictable, too. Sometimes totally straight, sometimes ringlets. I WILL figure out why but it might take a while! :o) But I agree, wait and see what happens before you get too scissor-happy.
I think the longest piece in the back could be trimmed but that's just my opinion; after a few hours more of drying maybe it looks less angled?
opera, you seriously have the nicest hair ever!!!! omg and the color is so awesome!!! beautiful!!!!!!!
how did you cut it? i'm esp. curious about how u did the layers
It looks great! When I saw the title of the post and then saw who posted it I went "Eeek! She cut that beautiful hair!?!" but it really turned out nice! The layers are good. I agree with the post about the back of it. If it dries ok then I wouldn't worry about it. But you did a really nice job!
I'd also be interested in knowing how you did it and how you did the layers.
Ladies, you are too kind! Thanks for all the positive feedback. :happy6:
I cut my hair while it was dry, starting with the curls framing my face. I took just the hair that naturally falls in front of my ears, and trimmed it using Feye's trimming method for a "v-cut."
Then I parted the rest of my hair down the middle and snipped individual curls so that the layered front part gradually tapered into the rest of the length. This made for a pretty drastic V shape, as you can see in the pictures. After that was done, I also picked up the curls at my canopy and snipped off a half-inch to release them from getting caught in the under layers and dragging down my crown. Does that make sense?
My hair is still air-drying for the day (go figure) but I'm really excited to see how it looks later! So far, so good.
Edit: I was going to post more pictures but my camera decided to die on me :(
layers = CLUMPS!?
Who woulda thunk it? :blob4:
Initially when my hair was completely dry I was a little sad that I had lost the length, but since then I've been pleasantly surprised at how much better my curls clump together and don't lose volume or definition throughout the day. Up until now, I thought those things had more to do with product and application than with a cut. My 2B sister even noticed that my curls look bigger and slightly looser because of the better clumps.
I looks really good. How cute are those curly-q ends? :thumbleft:
WOW, you did a super good job......it looks great!
Wow, you are a far braver woman than I. And luckier. It looks great. If I were to do that . . . disaster!
Thanks, ladies. :toothy10:
Oh, and I did end up fixing the back pieces after a few days, but for the most part it looks fine once it's completely dry. I got two unsolicited compliments from strangers yesterday! :toothy3: Talk about a mood-booster.
I've always thought your hair is just beautiful, as are you, and your cut now is no exception. Well done!
I see your products in your sig, but can you give us your routine? Do you comb products in, then scrunch, or what? TIA! :) My hair used to look just like yours when it was longer, many years ago.
Cleansing: I only cleanse my hair with the soap bar or ayurvedic herbs two or three times a month, so for the most part I cowash with the Suave.
Conditioning: Usually use gobs and gobs of my cowash condish to detangle in the shower, then rinse completely and comb in my leave-in to soaking wet hair.
Styling: I generally apply styling products after plopping for 10-15 minutes (no scrunching out water, the towel absorbs the worst of it). The exception would be when I use FSG, which helps with clumps and curl formation; I apply it in the shower. After plopping I'll scrunch in two or three nickel-sized blobs of Curl Junkie Aloe Fix Gel using mysteryflavored's KCCC application technique, and scrunch a tiny bit of BRHG on the ends for hold. I clip my roots and usually diffuse, but my sister hijacked the blowdryer awhile back so I've been airdrying. I diffuse because it helps with volume.
Thanks opera! I did try combing my hair before putting in my gel, and I like the smaller, separated curls I got today (instead of the big clumpy curls) for a change. :D I can't plop, I get smashed wonky roots/crown. :(
Opera_Curls your hair is stunning! I wish I could cut my own hair but as xcptnl said I would end up with about one hair left on my head - not a good view, huh? lol. When I grow I SHALL learn to hack thy own hair, hmmm
Your hair is gorgeous, and the cut looks fantastic! I wish I was brave enough to attack my hair with scissors!

You can barely even feel the gears shift. That's why I wanted one! But when you drive mine 2007 AT it's like something I'd expect from a Ford Explorer. It's not every time, but there are regular hesitations when accelerating where I can can count 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand aahhhh there it goes.
It may be complicated, but the fact that BMW got it so perfectly right in the older X3 means there's some sort of defect in the newer ones to account for the degraded performance. I don't know what, that's out of my league, but I know that's the bottom line.

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm in Oregon. Yesterday after work I got pulled over and cited by a police officer because my motorcycle's tail light wasn't working. I discovered 10 minutes later that this was because the bulb was burned out (it's an old motorcycle) so I bought some new bulbs and now it works fine. The light was working fine that morning but at some point during the day it must have burnt out. The fine on the citation is $110, so my question is, do I really have to pay such a hefty fine just because a bulb was out?? ThanksThanks for the responses. I talked with the clerk today and she told me that if I brought my fixed bike in, and had a police officer inspect it, the charge would be dismissed but still with a fee of $25. Still, that's much better than $110!
A lof of officers will dismiss the ticket at trial if you bring proof that the light has been fixed. Usually the receipt for the bulbs and/or a photo of the fixed light. Depending on the court you are dragged to the judge or cop may walk outside and look at the bike so ride it to trial if you can. Good luck and ride safe!Ask a similar question
The reason there is a fine for a burned-out tail light is because it's a safety issue. Without a tail light, someone else might not notice that you have your brakes on, which might cause an accident. Motorcycles are more vulnerable in traffic because of their smaller size, so I would think that you would want as many signal lights as possible on your motorcycle so cars and trucks will be more likely to see you on the road.
I don't know for sure because I don't practice law in Oregon, but it's possible that the judge might dismiss the ticket if you bring in proof that you fixed the tail light. You can call the court clerk to find out if this is allowed.

Will the Madoff Scandal Fuel Anti-Semitism?
New York, NY —
"Madoff: a Jewish Reckoning." That was the title of a panel discussion that drew an overflow crowd at the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research Thursday night. Speakers with divergent views reflected on Bernie Madoff and his impact on Jewish people. It's been widely reported that the disgraced money manager used his contacts within the Jewish community to attract investors to his alleged Ponzi scheme. WNYC's Lisa Chow attended the panel discussion and talks about it with Weekend Edition Host Brian Zumhagen.Audio of the panel discussion

Arya's age
According to the appendices of my two UK copies of AGoT, Arya is nine years old at the start of the book, whilst her birthday and her turning ten years old is mentioned briefly in the text of A Clash of Kings. Just getting confirmation that her age wasn't changed to eight in the revised edition of AGoT (which has never been published in the UK).--Werthead 19:30, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
Arya states on-screen in Season 1 that she is eleven years old.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:39, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
Grammar corrections
Rules say use American English. OED says "whilst" is "chiefly British." The American English word is "while." Furthermore, "she also a sword" is obviously not grammatically accurate. WikiYar 15:47, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
- "Whilst" might be chiefly British, but is being used by George R.R. Martin in his A Song of Ice and Fire books as well. Ausir(talk) 16:47, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
Can we add 'Personality and relationships' to the character articles? i sure would like to know how she considers Tywin lannister, who has been more than kind with her Noc noc... whos their? Darknesssss 03:20, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
Added "Weasel" to her Alias' section, feel free to remove if it wasnt on there for a reason. 18.104.22.168 10:13, December 11, 2012 (UTC)
- I removed it. It has never been established in the TV series.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:33, December 11, 2012 (UTC)
Willem, not William
I can't edit this page, but in the "Book" section, it refers to Willam as the person murdered by Yoren. I believe that should be Willem.
Arya's Death List
I think the List is becoming notable enough for it's own section. Alatari (talk) 03:32, May 9, 2014 (UTC)
The list is in, but I have a question: although the list obviously refers to her death prayer, do the people that she wished Jaquen to kill also count? They were technically never part of her nightly "death prayer", but they were people she explicitly wanted dead. In the show, this would mean adding the Tickler, Ser Amory Lorch and technically also Tywin —the first two were killed by Jaqen, the last wasn't, but he remained in Arya's death prayer, and he's already on the list as currently written. So, should we add the Tickler and Amory Lorch or not? I get the sense that they technically don't count, but I'd like other people to pitch in before changing anything. —ArticXiongmao (talk) 21:48, October 24, 2014 (UTC)
Could you please change the picture?
Dont you think the image is not really good? Could somebody please change it? She looks like a character from Hannibal or something in that cloth and lighting. She is not the psychopathic killer which that picture makes her look like, I mean at least not yet... if she is ever going to turn it to one... I hope not! She killed that guy pretty violently but the image makes her look like a crazy little freak!
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
Exactly what I was thinking, but was waiting until someone else said something. It looks like an audition image for a horror movie. I'll revert it — Sharp Blades (talk) 10:03, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
Haha, I know right? thanks, now that looks much better!
184.108.40.206 06:23, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
OK... Somebody changed it again! This picture is disgusting! Arya is not a character from a japanese slasher film!
220.127.116.11 07:11, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
Nor does the picture look like that. It's perfectly fine. It's a high-quality picture showing Arya clearly in her more recent attire, and it's quite an impressive shot to boot. Which makes the picture perfectly fine. —ArticXiongmao (talk) 07:22, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
I think the problem lies with her addressing the camera, which no one else is in their pictures. It just doesn't feel right. I would rather a different picture is used from this season, though to me she looks like a psychopath in just about every shot in season 5. - Son Of Fire (talk) 09:36, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
Maybe that's the reason? I mean, she IS becoming a psychopath if she continues her ways. --Gladiatus (talk) 09:51, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
The picture we will use until Season 6 will be one of Arya in her Braavosi "Lanna" attire, selling Oysters, Clams, and Cockles.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:44, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
- "she looks psycho"? SO WHAT! "oh, she's looking at the camera"? we've used promotional pictures before (Varys, Loras, Margaery, Ned, Catelyn).--Gonzalo84 (talk) 18:36, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
- And they've all looked weird. It's not a big issue, just doesn't feel right and kind of breaks universe seeing a character addressing the camera. Again, not a big deal. I personally don't care if she looks psychopathic, she already is to me at this point. - Son Of Fire (talk) 19:11, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
Page Quote
I noticed there's some editing back and forth over the quote appearing at the top of this article and thought it would be a good idea to start a discussion about it. Why is a quote from Jaqen, which gives more insight to the Faceless Men initiation process, being chosen over a quote from the character herself, which gives actual insight into her own character? The quote, "You know who I am. I'm Arya Stark. Do you know who you are? You're no one. You're nothing." would be much more appropriate since it articulates the character's current state and her active resistance to becoming No One, which is very important to her most current arc. That makes it a much more valuable quote than something Jaqen said. Arya Baratheon (talk) 15:35, July 26, 2015 (UTC)</span>
- Jaqen wasn't talking about the initiation process but Arya herself. A major part of Arya's character arc is that she becomes "someone else" losing her sense of identity; pretending to be a boy named "Arry", etc., she's always using fake names, until there's little of "Arya Stark" left. Yes, this is "insight into her character".
- ...due to the editing back and forth, I meant to ask on here what the overall consensus is.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:30, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
- Since you've come to the conclusion that "she's always using fake names, until there's little of "Arya Stark" left", I feel that the quote from Arya herself is all the more important since this argument shows that the story is being misinterpreted. As in the novels, Arya is still Arya no matter what name she is using. Just as the books used such lines as, "You have taken other names, but you wore them as lightly as you might wear a gown. Under them was always Arya", the show is using various signs such as this apt quote, "You know who I am? I'm Arya Stark. Do you know who you are? You're no one" to show that the character is firmly retaining her identity while referring to a person she is executing as "no one".
- I don't see how there is any argument for Jaqen's quote being worth using for the main quote of an Arya Stark article when there are better ones, like the one I noted, that would serve the article better. So if the quote about Arya reasserting her identity isn't one everyone prefers, maybe we can come to a consensus on a different one that will work better than the random Jaqen quote. Arya Baratheon (talk) 06:24, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
Ack; I asked Gonzalo84 yesterday via his talk page and he said to use the "my name is Arya Stark" quote, yes.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 14:34, July 27, 2015 (UTC)

SUBJECT: Arya Stark, princess of winterfell
As I understand it, she doesn't need to be formerly crowned princess if her accepted half-brother is King. Or has this been removed as Jon Snow is in fact her cousin? Is she then just a Lady of Winterfell? What about Sansa? She is a princess, why not Arya?

Will Andrea Mitchell question Joe Lieberman the way she questions Bernie Sanders?
Andrea Mitchell to Sen. Bernie Sanders, moments ago:
"Why is this so important? Is it better to have nothing than to have a plan that does not include the public option?"
It seems to me that framing -- a choice between nothing and what liberals want -- is common, while conservatives don't face such questions in the health care debate.
So here's a challenge for Andrea Mitchell: The next time you interview a Ben Nelson or a Joe Lieberman or a Mary Landrieu or a Chuck Grassley, ask them "Is it better to have nothing than to have a plan that includes the public option."

About Me
Welcome to my portfolio!
I've been shooting glamour and mild nudity since sometime late in 1994. At first, it was merely casual, but I had such a blast working with the models, and they liked the pics, so here I am- still shooting after all these years. I am in awe of the great photographers on this site and so jealous of their talent. The work I see here is nothing short of incredible! My work is very simple, but I hope that I fill a niche- being an easy way for beginners and amateurs to start off with some decent images to catch the eyes of the top notch pros! With me, you'll have fun and no pressure!
Update: I now use Portrait Pro Studio 15 for my own re-touching, so no " drive by" buddy requests from people offering this service, please.
Thanks for looking and please leave a comment if you like what you see.

This week's G8 meeting, starting today in Northern Ireland, is likely to be dominated by one issue: Syria.
The past week has seen a ratcheting up of tension, with the US decision to send direct military aid to the rebels for the first time, following its assessment that the Assad regime had used sarin gas. Meanwhile, emboldened by their victory in Qusair, the regime and its Hezbollah allies are massing for a new assault on Aleppo. This time may in future be seen as a turning point in the conflict.
Yet as Russian President Vladimir Putin made clear to David Cameron yesterday, the Prime Minister remains in a minority in the G8 in favouring direct aid to the rebels. President Putin's argument, like that of many critics of Western intervention, is in part about what happens if sophisticated Western arms fall into the hands of jihadists. The appearance of one jihadist video over the weekend showing Russian surface-to-air missiles in a rebel arms cache suggests that Russia's own policy of arming the regime may already have had the same effect. What is certain is that without an enforced no-fly zone — now demanded by Egypt but still a distant prospect — this war is likely to drag on for some time.
That grim prospect should spur the G8 in its efforts to rally support for the planned international peace conference on Syria. It is still not too late for a ceasefire and a negotiated political settlement — though that requires some willingness on the part of both sides in Syria, which still looks doubtful. Assad is unlikely to agree to any proposals that involve his stepping down, while Islamist rebels especially will prefer a fight to the finish.
Yet as the death toll rises — an estimated total of at least 93,000 — the stakes grow ever higher. This is increasingly looking like a regional war with Syria, Hezbollah and Iran pitted against the leading Sunni states. The need for a co-ordinated Western response has never been greater.
Fire down below
The growing row over cuts to London's fire service is typical of coming battles over cuts to public services. The Mayor wants to close 12 fire stations and cut 18 fire engines and more than 500 firefighters' jobs to save money. The Mayor's own Fire Authority and the London Fire Brigade, as well as several local authorities, oppose the cuts, which will result in the response time in some areas rising by almost a minute or more. Today has brought a warning from Westminster council that some of the nation's most important historic buildings, such as Buckingham Palace, could be put at risk by longer response times.
The Mayor counters that the response time in most areas of London will still be within the Fire Brigade's own six-minute limit — though an additional 59 wards will fall outside it. In the end, it comes down to the service that government is prepared to fund and the public is prepared to pay for. The danger with fire services is that in a worst-case scenario, the results are far deadlier than, say, if a council closes a library. These are the hard choices that London's government must now make.
Men on the catwalk
Today's shows in the Collections: Men fashion season highlight another area of London's fashion dominance: menswear. London Fashion Week is well established as a world leader in women's haute couture — so this, the third such event, is a logical way to show off the skills of British designers in men's clothing.

A beautiful group of Architectural designs from the luscious Victorian period, produced for use by builders/developers during the great Architectural Revolution in Paris, spurred by King Napoleon the III (Third)
These large Steel Engravings measure approx. 17.5" x 12.2" and are excellent for framing... the condition of each is very good (there is slight agitation and discoloration around the perimeters of the engravings, but would not be seen when matted and framed. The original Pale Green outer Folders are with the group, but a bit tattered around the edges.
I am listing 6 different groups of these Steel Engravings...The Plates show designs for homes, outbuildings, gardens, fences, gates and walled surrounds. They all were found in an ancient rural Maison, possibly the home of a Victorian Architect!!

11 in Region Win MacArthur Genius Grants
This year's list of the 24 fellows named by the MacArthur Foundation includes a number of musicians, writers and academics from the region, as well as a doctor pioneering a new type of health care network in the inner city.
In total, nine winners of the so-called "genius awards" are from New York and two are from New Jersey. Among the New York winners are fiction writer Karen Russell, author of the 2011 hit novel Swamplandia, the choreographer and dancer Kyle Abraham, the pianist and composer Vijay Iyer, as well as Sheila Nirenberg, a neuroscientist at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Iver and classical pianist and writer Jeremy Denk joined John Schaefer Tuesday to talk about the awards — including how they found out they were winners this year. To listen to the full conversation, click here.
Russell said she hopes to use the grant money to research her second novel.
"It's set in the Great Plains, and it's sort of a fantastical re-imagining of the Dust Bowl drought, so I've been wanting to get out there, you know, I'm from Florida, so that region is as exotic as the moon to me."
The recipients from New Jersey are Jeffrey Brenner, a primary care physician, who was recognized for his work on delivering health care to vulnerable populations in Camden; and Julie Livingston, a Rutgers history professor who works with archival research to explore treatment of chronic illness and debilitating diseases in Botswana.
Livingston said she's still trying to decide what to use the grant money for. She describes her work as "knitting together" the fields of history, anthropology, and public health.
"I really am like a woman with a notebook and a computer who likes spending time with people and figuring out why they do the things that they do, how they make their decisions and what are the logics and pressures and opportunities that structure their lives," she said.
The 2013 winners each receive $625,000 over the next five years to use toward their work.
Here's a complete list of New York and New Jersey winners
- Kyle Abraham, choreographer and dancer
- Donald Antrim, writing professor and author, Columbia University
- Jeffrey Brenner, primary care physician
- Jeremy Denk, pianist and writer
- Craig Fennie, materials scientists, Cornell University
- Vijay Iyer, jazz pianist and composer
- Julie Livingston, health historian and anthropologist, Rutgers University
- Sheila Nirenberg, neuroscientist, Weill Cornell Medical College
- Alexei Ratmansky, choreographer in residence, American Ballet Theatre
- Karen Russell, fiction writer
- Carrie Mae Weems, photographer and video artist

Medicare physician fee schedule redux
In a previous blog, I posted about the proposed rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. I subsequently received questions regarding whether or not the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) had any involvement in the creation of the proposed 2013 fee schedule and what impact the fee schedule might have on family physicians. To the best of my knowledge, AAFP was not directly involved in the creation of the proposed 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) essentially reserves sole responsibility for its creation.
AAFP advocates with CMS throughout the year on elements of the physician fee schedule, and the results of that advocacy can be seen in CMS's estimate of the proposed rule's impact on family medicine. Specifically, CMS estimates that family physicians will experience approximately a 7 percent increase in Medicare allowed charges in 2013, based on what is in the proposed rule (see page 12 of the AAFP's summary of the proposed rule). That percentage is higher than any other specialty listed. So, although AAFP can't take responsibility for creating the proposed rule, it can certainly take some credit for the estimated positive impact on family physicians.
AAFP is preparing a response to
the proposed rule in advance of the Sep. 4, 2012, deadline for comments, and I look forward to sharing that with you in a future post. In the meantime, thanks for the questions, and please let me know if you have more.

Photography with a 35mm camera used to be a relatively simple affair. Camera bodies seemed as steadfast and unchanging as your grandma's hairstyle, and there seemed little reason or need to constantly upgrade your equipment. Sure, there was always the latest and greatest camera innovation, but there wasn't always a 'need' to change. Film choice had more of an impact, in my opinion, than did your actual camera equipment. One's personal artistic vision was more important than the actual camera used. Today, although these general tenets of photography and equipment still exist, gear does play an ever-increasing role of importance in the final output.
Editor's Note: This is a guest blogpost from Photographer Mark Fisher.
As photographers, we need our gear. Without it, we're just people with highly visual imaginations and restless index fingers. However, the conundrum of all photographers is acquiring the right combination of equipment without blowing their budgets. In reality, there's no "right" or "standard" selection of gear—everyone's creative vision and needs are different. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, putting together a cost-effective kit that still offers you the freedom and flexibility to exercise your photography as you see fit, can be a real challenge.
To help you navigate this perpetual dance, let's see how I built my camera bag over the years. Please note that these ideas do not represent the opinions and needs of the other 2,459,276,483 photographers out there, who will probably disagree with me.
A long time ago, I wrote an article entitled Bag of Confidence, and ever since, many have turned to me with their equipment questions. I would love to profess that I was smart enough to have just the right camera gear from the get go, but such is not the case. Like so many in the field, having the right camera gear was a trial-by-error methodology for much of the beginning of my photography career. I was asked to write this piece in the hope that you might learn from my mistakes, and build on my successes. So here's how my camera bag has in it what it does today.

El Paso Exploreum Museum moving temporarily because of construction mistake
EL PASO, Texas - The El Paso Exploreum, which opened this past weekend, will be moving temporarily.
It will be closed until Feb. 9 when the relocation to the former Lynx Exhibits building, 300 W. San Antonio, is complete.
"The relocation is needed to give the museum's founders time to replace several interior walls which contractors mistakenly built with wooden studs rather than with metal studs as required by city ordinance," Exploreum officials said in a statement.
"We were so warmly received by the community that we want to continue the enthusiasm for the Exploreum," said Laurie Paternoster, museum co-founder. "We are saddened that our museum was not 100 percent ready, but are making every effort to make sure the new building is perfect."
Paternoster said visitors going to the Exploreum at Lynx Exhibits will have an extra treat - a free simulator experience.
With the Feb. 9 reopening, normal hours of operation resume: Mondays through Saturdays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays noon until 6 p.m, with the last admission is an hour before closing.
Supporters may stay informed of developments by "liking" the El Paso Exploreum Facebook page, e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com and asking to be added to the Exploreum e-mail contact list, visiting the elpasoexploreum.com or calling 533-4330.

Lexington Hustlers Baseball Team
Start Year : 1911
End Year : 1952
The Negro League Baseball team, Lexington Hustlers, was formed in 1947. But prior to that, there was an earlier Lexington Hustlers baseball team since at least 1911 when the officers were Harvey Rhodes, president; William Madison, secretary; Samford Turner, manager; and Henry Jones, field manager [source: "Colored Notes," Leader, 02/26/1911, p.6]. Newspaper articles about the older team can be found in the Leader from 1911-1950s. Shelby Lee Moxley was a pitcher on the older team and a coach for the newer team. The newer team played against other Negro League teams that had such players as Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, and Josh Gibson. Coach John W. "Scoop" Brown added player Bobby Flynn to the team in 1947; Flynn was white but had been rejected by the white teams because he was small. By 1949, white players made up one third of the Lexington Hustlers, the first integrated baseball team in the South. The team integrated the same year that Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball. Bobby Flynn would later become a Kentucky Senator, and he is the father of former Major League Baseball player Doug Flynn. For more see "Hustlers Tip Caps to Past," Lexington Herald-Leader, June 17, 2010, pp. A1-A2.

I've been doing some renovation here on the website. No new look, but some structural features Google is said to like. When I first set the site up in 2008 (thanks to Texas Golden Girl for all the Las Vegas coffee dates) there were not 800 000 websites blathering on about sex trafficking, so when I wrote about migration and sex work my material actually came up high in ordinary searches. That ceased long ago, with hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of institutional and governmental websites devoting pages to anti-trafficking campaigns. Minority voices do manage to get through, however, whether they win in Google searches or not. People find this website, by trying or by happenstance. The word spreads, despite the wishes of so many that it would Go Away.
I've published nearly 600 blog posts since beginning, and the renovation required me to skim back through them. There are now eight categories on the site: Sex Work, Trafficking, Migration, Colonialism, Feminisms, Laws, Sexualities, Rescue Industry.
The most-used category is Sex Work, since the very fact that people sell sex provokes so many reactions and counter-reactions. This category appears on the main menu at the top of the website, and the page explaining it says
Most rights activists – but not all – prefer the term sex worker as non-stigmatising, placing emphasis on the labour rather than the moral status of what they do. Anti-prostitution campaigners, who insist that all women who sell sex are victims no matter what they themselves say, use terms like prostituted woman and oppose the term sex worker. Some who sell sex proudly call themselves prostitutes, while others hate the term. I try to use whatever term people use about themselves. If you tell me you experience exchanging sex for money (or benefits) to be a job, I accept what you say. If you tell me you experience it as rape or abuse, I accept that. When I'm talking about a business I name it: peep show, brothel, phone sex. When I'm talking about the person working in that business I try to be specific: stripper, cam girl, rent boy.
The list of categories appears in the right-hand column. Topics ranging from more specific to general are found in the tag cloud in the right-hand column. There's lots of overlap, because people search and read in different ways. This is no great exercise in hierarchical classification, but maybe a little organising will help newcomers navigate these compelling, complex fields.

no actually it isn't about love, it's that i wasn't prepared to choose a whole new theme right now. i hadn't realised tarski was shelved a while back so renovations were more complicated than they should have been, alas. but now i'll be looking for what to convert to – any recommendations from my coffee-mate always welcome. x

Napoli's Vincenzo Bernardo, the University of Michigan's Peri Marosevic and Hertha Berlin's Ellis McLoughlin each scored a goal. German-born Alfredo Morales, McLoughlin's teammate in the Hertha youth system, tallied two assists in the win.
With the exception of defenders Tommy Meyer and Brek Shea, head coach Thomas Rongen used a completely different lineup than he did against the Cape Verde Islands a day ago, including D.C. United youth team goalkeeper Bill Hamid, who earned the shutout with three saves.
April 15 in Beja, Portugal
USA 1 Cape Verde Islands 3. Goal: Shea 77; Ramos 7, Borges 59, Rodriguez 73.
USA -- MacMath, Mayen, Wenzel, Meyer, Shea, Ibrahim, Wallace, Jeffrey, Flores, Nimo, McLoughlin.

The episode begins with the arrival of Parvati in the gufa where Mahadev is meditating. She enters inside.
As she enters inside, she observes a sudden fall of light on her face. As she gets in further, she remembers all the teachings of Rishi Dadhichi – the truth of life, the truth of body.
Further moving inside, she gets to know all her past. She understands that she is no one else but the Sati who loved Mahadev. She understands that she has a linkage with Sati and that she is in love with Mahadev since her previous birth.
She went near Mahadev and requests her to come out of mediation and to open his eyes.

The Best Cheap Family Vacations Start in Florida

Grab yourself a roundtrip flight on United Airlines for as little as $159.80 (from $160, a low by $22; expires May 31), then get pumped and ready to be slimed!

If you'd rather not risk sensory overload, kick back at the Westgate Lakes Resort and Spa for a 3-night stay in Orlando instead (from $195, a low by $73; expires May 10). Less than two miles from Universal Studios and SeaWorld, and just five miles from Walt Disney World, the resort offers just the right amount of serene relaxation after a theme park-filled day, not to mention spacious studios and villas, seven outdoor heated pools, hot tubs, and a fully equipped spa.
Settle in with a stay at the nearby Radisson Resort at the Port (from $70 per night, a low by $17; expires May 16); it's the closest hotel to the space station and the nearby cruise terminal, so aspiring kid astronauts can view rockets launch into orbit from right outside their windows.

For the perfect nightcap, parents can also head to Flamingo's Lounge Bar for live jazz and Caribbean music.
Beach Family Vacations and Foliage in the Carolinas
For a more nature-focused summer vacation, head to North Carolina and experience America's most visited national park. With forests straddling the entire border between North Carolina and Tennessee in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you'll be able to take in plenty of plant and animal life, stunning scenery, and remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture. Enjoy all that the Smoky Mountains has to offer with a 2-night stay for two adults and two children with breakfast at the Waynesville Inn (from $129, a low by $49; expires May 17). The inn offers mountain views from 115 guest rooms, 27-holes of championship golf, and food and drink at a lively tavern. Hike through winding trails to take in the breathtaking views, visit Mingo Falls (one of the largest falls in the Southern Appalachian), or scratch your adventure itch by rafting along the Nantahala River.
San Dunes Resort Hotel in Myrtle Beach (from $79, a low by $19; expires May 12). The hotel's got a whole range of freebies including free accommodations for kids, an on-site water park, a free catamaran sightseeing cruise, complimentary golf, and admission to Ocean Drive Pavilion Amusement Park, not to mention firework displays at the biggest public oceanfront pool bar on the Grand Strand: Ocean Annie's Beach Bar. No wonder Myrtle Beach is sometimes called the vacation capital of the nation.
Want to skip the seashore all together? Whether you and Ma want to recreate the Hey Dude dreams of your early teenage years, or would rather just let the kids roam free and create their own ranch sitcom, book your family a 3-night stay for two adults and one child at the all-inclusive Majestic Dude Ranch in Colorado (from $1,647, a low by $1,428; expires May 18). The full-on immersion into dude ranch life includes being paired with a horse and mountain bike for the duration of your stay. You'll then enjoy guided excursions through 200 acres of adjacent open land. What's more, all activities — which entails kayaking, mountain climbing, archery, and fly-fishing — are included. With local rodeos and 600 Pueblo cliff dwellings in nearby Mesa Verde, you'll also access unique Colorado experiences firsthand.

Much like its east coast counterpart, Disneyland is a kid mecca. Stay near by in Fullerton at the Howard Johnson Inn (from $52 per night, a low by $20; expires May 13) and you'll be just ten minutes away from the park. What's more, the hotel offers complimentary shuttles to and from the park and a complimentary hot breakfast buffet. The best part of staying in Fullerton? Los Angeles is just 25 miles away.

Marios Schwab Spring 2012
The spirit of the powerful and enigmatic femmes fatales of film noir and neorealist cinema haunted Marios Schwab's runway. Meanwhile, the dramatic chiaroscuro effects of the great cinematographers who lit those high-voltage stars' arresting beauty were translated into intriguing layering of shadowy fabrics.
Schwab opened his focused and powerful collection with shapely dresses with a forties flavor (echoed in the Betty Bacall hairstyles) patched with segments of solid color (black, white, and blush pinks and mauves) and mixtures of lattice and basket-weave mesh.
The shadow play continued with reflective plasticized fabrics, changeante taffetas, and with fine mesh or eyelet over pastel slips, the darts providing arrowhead accents of solid black.
Toweling swimsuits had a chic vintage flavor, and a trench coat garlanded with a subtle leather harness added the frisson of a Helmut Newton photograph.
If the silhouette was occasionally evocative of eighties Alaïa, that is not a bad reference, and Schwab has the technical authority to carry off this complex pattern-making with considerable aplomb.
The subtly dramatic finale gowns replicated those net meshes in delicate tracings of crystal, and the last brace of long gowns layered nylon organza over slips finely embroidered with trompe l'oeil swimsuits of pearlescent sequin—making silver-screen movie magic.

That ailing Lions QB Matthew Stafford was able to start on Thursday against the Packers was a surprise to most people -- even his backup.
Second-stringer Daunte Culpepper was "upset," coach Jim Schwartz acknowledged after an awkward scene on the sideline as Stafford started to warm up.
Culpepper did not begin taking warm-up tosses with Stafford and third-stringer Drew Stanton as is custom. He had an animated talk with GM Martin Mayhew near the team's bench.
He was asked about his status by Fox TV sideline reporter Pam Oliver.
Said Culpepper (via PFT), "You know what, Pam? I don't even want to talk about it."
Schwartz said he doesn't mind seeing such competitive spirit from his players.
"He still views himself as a starting quarterback, and rightfully so," he said of Culpepper. "But Matt's our starter. And when he's healthy enough, he'll be out there." -- Sean Leahy
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Well, his valiance should prove it; his valiance, afraid neither of light nor of darkness.

Review for UCP Central PA, Camp Hill, PA, USA
I worked as intern for UCP of Central PA for the last two summers. I must say both internships were quite rewarding experiences. Not only was I included at every staff meeting during my stint at UCP, but also I was made to feel like I was an essential part of the team. I felt like my thoughts and opinions were deeply considered and appreciated when expressed. Both internships gave me great confidence in myself and to be expose to the working world. I saw I could make a difference in the lives of individuals, some who have disabilities similar to my own, mainly through my words.

Review for UCP Central PA, Camp Hill, PA, USA
The most significant benefit of my relationship with United Cerebral Palsy, I think, is to live independently, (with the help of my Mom and attendants, of course), and receive a college education. United Cerebral Palsy's help proves that I can do anything with my life, even live in a dorm, not especially designed for individuals who have physical limitations. I never thought this possible before my involvement with the United Cerebral Palsy organization. Opportunities are limitless for those who are involved with the program. The receiver needs to have an open mind, though. Wildest dreams are possible with perseverance, self-motivation, faith in yourself and others' faith in your abilities. United Cerebral Palsy continuously helps me to reach my goals; and with every success in my life, I am grateful to them.

Are Macs Vulnerable? Wrong Question.
Posted by David Johnson on April 6, 2012
- 534 Recommendations
- 0 comments
The misinformation and rhetoric surrounding the recent discovery of the Flashback trojan for Macs is vehement, and says more about the historically stable state of Mac security, and the irrational way many think about it than it reveals about its weaknesses. Even long-time industry observers, who should know better, are jumping into the fray to say: See! I told you so! The Mac is vulnerable! Well…duh…that's not exactly news, folks.
Of course the Mac is vulnerable. EVERY internet connected device is vulnerable. What matters is probability, frequency and potential impact. So the correct question then, is whether or not your prevention, detection and recovery mechanisms are effective. For example, I'm not convinced that traditional anti-virus approaches are right for the Mac. The track record of these tools in the Windows world is abysmal in my view. They're among the most intrusive technologies to the user - hogging system resources and making even basic tasks impossible as they inspect every file, every day, often several times a day. And…they're reactive. Think: death by a thousand papercuts over a period of years, only to be interrupted by a rare strain of encephalitis, followed by a partial lobotomy and organ transplant to get the patient breathing again, and you're in the ballpark. Application whitelisting will hopefully come to be seen as a better approach.
I've been engaged in research over several months to shed more light on the topic of Mac management best practices, including those in highly secure environments. One thing that has emerged from the dozens of conversations I've had with people who actually manage Macs in both large and small firms every day, is that not one of them has any illusions about the potential risks. Even so, only a few were using a traditional anti-virus solution for Macs, preferring instead to have effective patching and system backup/recovery capabilities, and user education programs.
To further put this in perspective, McAfee - along with most endpoint protection vendors - publishes a quarterly update report on the global threat landscape. The most recent available as of today is Q4, 2011. The report says: "Mac malware had a big spike in the second quarter but has remained quiet since then. As always, comparing overall malware growth for the Mac with that for PCs makes the Mac threat look rather tame".
As of this writing, Apple has released an update that fixes the Java vulnerability responsible for permitting the trojan to invade a computer. Firms with effective patching tools for their Mac environments, such as JAMF Software's Casper Suite or Absolute Manage can take preventative measures now by deploying the patch. Firms who also already have effective Mac recovery mechanisms in place are best equipped to deal with any infected machines.
Keep checking this space for more specific guidance on Mac management best practices based on comprehensive research coming later this quarter.

Mayhem # 2775331
About MeI am a professionnal photographer and 3D artist based on Reunion Island; I plan to spend 2 months in Shenzhen soon, I would take off at the beginning of July or August ( still have to figure it out ) I'd like to get in touch with models, photographers but also make up and hair artists already settled there to share thoughts, talent and maybe some future projects !
Balanced between technical and aesthetic aspects, beauty, high quality but also semiology and symbolism are part of my rules at work in order to achieve the most efficient image possible.
The human question is also crucial, capturing someone's essence needs time and analysis.
I like to have long discussions with models I create with, it helps me enhancing my knowledge of them and that leads to more accurate portraits, whatever the project is...
Contact me to discuss details about my work and philosophy at it.
I prefer paid assignment, but I'm not against trading if it's worth.
I hope to share and connect, it's always a wealthness for everybody !
I'm really easy going, the only problem is that I don't speak chinese at all ! I guess it's gonna be funny sometimes down the streets of Shenzhen or Hong Kong haha !

020- January 20. Nemesis climbing in the tree in the front corner of the yard. You can't really tell in this photo but he climbed up very high and was crawling around up there after birds, with his crazy cat eyes wide open.
019- January 19. Emma had her hair cut today…she was very happy with the straightened, shiny and beautiful result!
018- January 18. Playing Lego with Soren.
017- It was so hot today- you can almost see the heat reflecting off the road. I took this while driving home after taking Nicholai to a sleepover this afternoon. It's hard to imagine, looking at this, that almost three years ago this whole place was just blackened trees and drifts of dead and burned leaves after the fires.
016- One of our chickens. Definitely worth all the long drawn out effort of building the coop and preparing for them! We're getting three or four eggs a day at the moment. Although they're starting to look a bit mangy because they're rubbing the feathers off their necks by poking their heads through the wire.
015- A half blown off dandelion with a little bug on it searching for something…I love this one!
014- Four kids= lots of hand-me-down clothes. Friends who pass along their outgrown clothes add to the pile, and keeping track of who wears what, who has grown out of what, and what needs to be put away for who to grow into it can be a very complicated task. Today I pulled everything out and sorted it out. Took ages but I've finished up with four labelled plastic tubs, a garbage bag of cothes to go out, and a second garbage bag of clothes to put in the donation bit.
013- I had a day out at Ikea with Jericho today. I wish my house could be as functional and full of storage and gadgets as an Ikea store!
012- Ootchy Mootchy cat.
011- Jericho drawing me a 'warning picture'. It's a bomb with a sad person who is going to be blown up and a smiling villain who is happy that his plot is working! I love the way all his drawings have such complex stories associated with them.
010- It seems to be a rule of childhood that kids just love spinning. It also seems to be a sad fact of adulthood that you lose your stomach for it. Today's photo is from a trip that the kids and I took to the park.
009- Soren playing with Play-doh.
008- This photo really sums up my day…organising the kids' bedrooms! Nicholai has switched from this room and now shares with Emma, and Jericho and Soren are going to try sharing this back room. All the new clothes in the wardrobe, all this little (big!) shoes lined up, the bunks and the new chest of drawers just visible on the right side. I'd really love to paint this room, I hate the kind of lime green colour it is, but that's going to have to wait.
007- This wasp was building a nest right outside our back door today! All the photos I took had its head inside the clay nest because I was too scared to stick around when it took its head back out. When it was gone we broke the nest up and found a pile of green caterpillars and a witchetty grub trapped inside- it was both fascinating and creepily disgusting.
006- Troy and the kids at the Sanctuary.
005- We have two plum trees in our back yard. A yellow plum tree that flowered and fruited and is now finished, and the tree that is currently loaded with red plums. I feel like we're fighting a losing battle against the birds and the dog (who adores plums) to actually eat any thought!
004- Jericho playing with the Harry Potter Knight Bus Lego that Santa brought him for Christmas.
003- These blossoms are on the tree out on our nature strip, which is looking beautiful this year. From the street side anyway, the side next to the house is where half the tree broke off and is kind of bare and twiggy!
002- My three year old, beautiful Soren!
001.- New Year's Eve/Morning, sitting outside with Mum, Dad, Troy and Rhiannon and talking in the candlelight.

2019 Ram
The red truck pictured here is a Warlock II. The original Warlock is shown in black with gold wheels.
In the late 1970s, Dodge started showing and selling custom versions of its trucks, such as the 1970 Adventurer pickup with the Dodge Dude package. Dodge started selling what it called "adult toys," culminating in the L'il Red Express Truck. For 1977, these were:
The Dodge Warlock pickups, which included fancy wheels, fat tires, bucket seats, authentic oak sideboards and unique customizing of both the interior and exterior, was originally a show vehicle idea. It stirred such interest that Dodge moved quickly to introduce it late in the 1976 model year as a limited production vehicle; its popularity when it first hit the street made it a regular production
model in 1977.
Robert H. Kline, manager of truck sales for Chrysler Corporation, wrote in the press release, "... more and more people were customizing and personalizing pickups, particularly the short wheelbase models. As with the van, the movement
got its start on the West Coast and it's now moving across the country. The 'trick truck' concept allows the customer to drive away from
the dealership with a fully customized vehicle that has a personality of its own."
The Warlock came with either conventional two-wheel or fourwheel drive, with the D100 model (rear wheel drive) having H70 x 15 raised white letter tires and the W100 (four-wheel drive) having 10 x 15 tires. Other equipment included five-spoke wheels,
bucket seats, tinted glass, bright rear bumper, and power steering; options included a radio, air conditioning, cruise control, a rear cargo light, and a clock. Like the standard pickups, they had double wall beds and front disc brakes.
All had black interiors accented by gold tape on the dash and the
doors, and a "tuff" steering wheel; In 1976, both models were available in black, dark green metallic, and bright red. Completing the custom look were solid oak sideboards above the box with gold accents, and chrome plated miniature running boards. The exterior had gold pinstriping to outlined the wheel wells and body lines; the pinstriping was continued inside, on the doors, dashboard, and the instrument cluster. The script word "Warlock" was emblazoned in gold on the tailgate.
It appears that all standard engine choices were available, which meant buyers could have the base slant six, 318 with two or four barrel carburetor, 360 four barrel, 400 V8, and 440 V8; the 318 appears to have been most popular.
The Warlock's oak-lined pickup bed was later used by the (more popular) L'il Red Express Truck, which had the same body panels and mechanicals (as did all D100 and W100 trucks); the Express also used the Warlock's standard stepside chrome bumpers and grille, though it had new, five-slot disc wheels instead of the Warlock's eight-spoke gold wheels (with black pinstripes). Those gold wheels only lasted for the first year, with the Warlock II of 1979 having chrome wheels.
Marc Rozman pointed out that a "Midnight Express" version was built — similar, but rarer. A pilot truck was used to do the 1/64th scale Jonny Lighting die-cast model.
The show vehicle and production vehicle differed somewhat, using a different tone of gold on the wheels, tape stripes instead of paint stripes, and no roll bar. There appear to have been few changes during the Warlock's run; in 1979, the tailgate read "Warlock II," and six colors were available.
The Warlock used all of Dodge's refinements to its pickup line, including the bright new grille with vertical rectangular parking lights, a new instrument panel with a more luxurious appearance, and new cowl panels.

StepMonitor problem
I use NDSolve to solve a differential system of equations and I need to plot the solution during the execution of NDSolve. I use the StepMonitor option.
For a differential system it works great, at each step I get the time and the function values.
But - for an algebraic-differential system it doesn't work. Instead of function values I get the function derivative values! (took me some time to realize that). The EvaluationMonitor correctly gives the function values.
Do I use the StepMonitor correctly?
Example to illustrate the problem:
Solve an algebraic-differential system, while saving values with StepMonitor and EvaluationMonitor:
{sol, {dataStep, dataEv}} = Reap[
NDSolve[{x'[t] == y[t]^2 + x[t] y[t], 2 x[t]^2 + y[t]^2 == 1,
x[0] == 0}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 10},
StepMonitor :> Sow[{t, x[t], y[t]}, "stepMonitor"],
EvaluationMonitor :> Sow[{t, x[t], y[t]}, "evaluationMonitor"]
{"stepMonitor", "evaluationMonitor"}];
Plotting the solution and EvaluationMonitor shows correspondence:
Plot[{x[t], y[t]} /. sol // Evaluate, {t, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> All]
Transpose[{dataEv[[1, All, 1]], #}] & /@
Transpose[dataEv[[1, All, 2 ;;]]], PlotRange -> All]
Plotting the StepMonitor shows discrepancy:
ListPlot[Transpose[{dataStep[[1, All, 1]], #}] & /@
Transpose[dataStep[[1, All, 2 ;;]]], PlotRange -> All]
Plotting the solution derivatives shows correspondence to StepMonitor:
Plot[{x'[t], y'[t]} /. sol // Evaluate, {t, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> All]
