ELLENSBERG, Wa. - (JULY 17, 2013) – One of America's top 10 professional rodeos, the Ellensberg Rodeo, has chosen TicketForce as its ticketing service provider. Located in Ellensberg, Wa.,the Ellensberg Rodeo is the final stop on the Wrangler Million Dollar Gold Tour and hosts the World Finale of PRCA's Extreme Bulls Tour.
Started in 1923, the rodeo has grown from a local competition among ranch hands to the professional event of today with more than 600 contestants and prize money in excess of $400,000. The 10,000 seat rodeo and fair, held over Labor Day weekend, will now utilize TicketForce's season tickets, mobile ticketing, Facebook ticketing and scanning services.

"TicketForce follows through and provides the outstanding level of service that they promise to provide," said Woodworth. "The ticketing solutions that TicketForce offers were truly developed with the patron in mind, and are also easy for our staff to use and manage.

Bad Habits on a Snowboard
Many snowboarders have bad habits that ultimately prevent them from progressing and becoming more awesome on the mountain. There are 3 common mistakes and bad habits that are a serious barrier to insane shred and progression. The 3 bad habits are:
- Bending in the waist and in the back
- Too much weight on either one of the feet
- Frozen riding position
Don't Ride Like This
Bending in the waist and in the back
If you bend in the waist and in the back you move your weight outside of the center of your board. This is a problem if you hit different surfaces and features on the mountain - for example icy slopes, boxes, rails and jumps. If you try to ride here and experience that you get out of balance and/or your board slips out underneath you, it is likely that your upper body isn't aligned correctly. The correct way to position your upper body is to keep your back straight and bend in the knees and hips. Checkout the video above to see how you can improve your stance!
Don't Ride With Your Weight Too Far To One Side
To much weight on either one of the feet, instead of both
Riding different terrain requires different stance. Therefore having too much weight on either one of the feet is a problem, because it limits your ability to adapt. For example if you have to much weight on your front foot and move into powder (where you need more weight on your back foot) you will have trouble adapting. Moving into buttering, jibbing and jumping you need to be able to switch up your weight, as you want more stability and style – therefore it is vitally important to work on a balanced stance with equal weight on both feet. In the video above several fun and challenging exercises are introduced that will make you a better rider.
Don't Ride Like A Statue
Frozen riding position
When you have a frozen riding position on a snowboard you are not able to move around, shift your weight and adapt to changing slope conditions. You might be able to make due while riding on groomers, but if the surface change to slush or ice you will get into trouble. Furthermore if you want to progress to riding powder and park you need to be able to switch up your balance and stance. The video above shows you how to move around on your snowboard to test, challenge and improve your balance and stance.
To conclude
It is very important that you Ride with your weight over the center of your board bending at the knees and hips (not bending in the waist and in the back). Force yourself to move around on the board and experimenting with stance. Continuously train your balance and improve your overall abilities as a rider.

text: A double murder led to a manhunt Tuesday morning in Lamoine. It started at 3:45 Tuesday morning. " The caller reported there was a shooting that occurred. Once deputies arrived on scene they did confirm there were two deceased males," said Lt. Christopher Coleman, commander of Maine State Police Major Crimes. Before the double murder investigation could begin, there was a manhunt for the killer, and police knew who they were looking for. " His name is Leon Tilden. We believe he lived right there. His whereabouts at this point are not known. We believe that he should be considered armed and dangerous," said Coleman. As the morning went on, neighbors started hearing about what happened. " Got texts, phone calls, and then the police knocking on my door, that's how I was told about it," said John Donovan, who lives in the neighborhood where the shootings happened. Parents were told not to let their kids wait for the school bus alone on Tuesday. " This is something you find in the city going on. It's surprising," said Donovan, as he dropped off kids at the school bus. Seven hours later, police found Leon Tilden, 27. " Leon Tilden, who was armed, was encountered by members of the Maine State Police Tactical Team," said Lt. Col. Raymond Bessette, with the Maine State Police. Tilden was shot by State Police Detective Randall Keaton. Details of that shooting are not being released. Tilden was taken by Lifeflight to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor where he died late Tuesday morning. The Attorney General will investigate the police use of deadly force. Detective Keaton is on administrative leave, as is protocol anytime there is an officer involved shooting. We're told Tilden's mother and brother were in the house when the double shooting happened, so police hope to have more information for them, soon.

Smoke Detector Wiring
I have two smoke detectors in the basement that do not have power going to them. They are hardwired (with battery backup) and are interconnected, per code. Any ideas?
How much would a licensed electrician charge to troubleshoot this?
Sounds like there is a wire disconnected somewhere for the feed.
I cant believe that someone would inter connect and then not power them up.
Hard to say what it would cost..
Hour or two labor and a serivce call?
What year was the house built and did they ever work... If it is a two month old house and they never worked, then I sure could believe the homerun was left out. More info please.
$225 gets your smokes on in most cases in my world.
House was built in 1998. I just moved in recently. Basement was finished in 2005, but I think they added these two smoke detectors during the finish. Most unfinished basements only have one smoke detector. There are 3 now, with two not working.
Just how handy are you Handy man??? Got a meter? Start pullin the smokes down and checking for voltage. Does the "original " smoke still work.? If when you pull the smokies down and you have anything different than two 14/3's entering each of them, post back and we'll figure it out. There is a similiar thread on right now...read it (discounting my poor attempts at humour)
Original smoke (at least I think it is) is working. Switched smokes, and it seems that the smokes are okay, wiring is issue.
For the original smoke receptacle, took it off, and as expected, a lot of the wiring was covered with paint, so can't see what is going on until I rub some of it off.
3 wire nuts. One all black, one yellow with red, and the 3rd one is all white.
I think the connected 14-3 is coming from the 1st floor and the unconnected 14-3 is for the two unpowered smokes. I will find out.
My question is why there are two connected 14-2's in the original receptacle? Is this for redundancy in case one breaker trips in order to keep the smokes going?
Good news. I hooked up the 14-3 and it did power up the remaining two smoke detectors. For whatever reason, the electrician before my time never bothered.

Food Stamps Usage On the Rise
New York, NY —
Food stamp usage is on the rise. In the Bronx for instance, more than 400,000 people use food stamps. That's close to 30 percent of the borough's entire population. According to the city, since 2007 usage has increased 26 percent in the Bronx. WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez visited a non-profit and a supermarket in the borough to see just who's applying for the federally funded food assistance program.
Heather Hargraves is the social services coordinator at Part of the Solution - a non-profit in the Bronx that provides some of the poorest New Yorkers, with everything from showers to hot meals to food stamps.
"I actually have an appointment at 7 o'clock tonight.The address is 2763 and your appointment is with Fabio.
Typically, people apply for food stamps at a local welfare office, but a few years ago the city started letting certain non-profits submit applications on behalf of the people they serve:
"I think people feel a lot more stigmatized applying at a food stamp center because you know they are going to a welfare office and that's associated with negative connotations," Hargraves says.
Part of the Solution is located on Webster Avenue in the Bronx. According to census figures, the poverty rate in the surrounding area is nearly 40 percent. Hargraves says one of the most frustrating parts of her job is how often people get their benefits cut off because of administrative errors and other glitches.
"John, your card, there's no food stamps on your card but your card is working."
John Torruella is 53 years old. "I'm getting tired of it. You get frustrated. You get frustrated and you may as well forget about it," he says.
He's single, homeless, and qualifies for $200 a month in food stamps. Hargraves must now figure out why his benefits have stopped:
"Yeah, you should have gotten your benefits. So I'm going to contact the center and see why you haven't. Ok?" she tells him.
Torruella says he's out of food but he'll use the soup kitchen downstairs. Plus, the food pantry is giving out beef today.
Up a narrow wooden stairwell sit more offices. In the back, caseworker Fabio Martinez is waiting for his 3 o'clock appointment to show up.
"I'm calling because you have a food stamps appointment for today..."
Martinez says he's been signing people up for food stamps for about two years.
"At first, it started off just normal. Single parent coming in with two children and so on, but after about five or six months after that when I started late August or September, that's when I started seeing the families with mortgages, the husband and the wife that lost a job and almost in foreclosure and so on," Martinez says.
Martinez's client ends up canceling on him, and while he waits for the next appointment he demonstrates a food stamp calculator that estimates the amount of benefits a mother of two earning $2,000 a month would receive.
"It's not 100 percent accurate but it does work," he says.
In this hypothetical example, the single mom is also paying $500 a month in child care and $1,000 a month in rent. Both can be deducted from her monthly income.
"She lives in the five boroughs, let me just say she's not paying electricity for the sake of argument, and she would get $376," Martinez calculates.
Martinez says people are always surprised by the amount of benefits they could potentially qualify for.
"They used to say, 'I hope I'm not coming here just to get $10 or $14 because I don't want to waste my time' and, you know, you understand," he says.
While Martinez is seeing people at the beginning of the food stamp process, Pioneer Supermarket down the street is seeing them at the end -- once they're ready to spend their benefits.
Bianel Rodriguez is a cashier at Pioneer. "Seventy-five to 80 percent of the people who come here most of the time use food stamps," she says.
Rodriguez says food stamps can be used on all cold food products -- no hot foods, no detergents, shampoo, beer, or cigarettes. And she says it's good for business, "especially the first two weeks of the month and the holidays."
The store is bustling, and outside in the parking lot Joycelyn Sarita and her mother were loading $160 worth of groceries into their car. Sarita says she paid for everything using food stamps. She's been on the program since August. It was the first time she ever applied for the benefit. "I lost my job and I had to go for food stamps because I couldn't afford it," she says. "I did hesitate, but you have to do what you have to do if you want to eat."
Sarita says she was a medical assistant at a gynecologist's office but they ended up closing down the medical practice. She says finding a new job has been very hard.
Milagros Arroyo also recently lost her job in the garment district. She just started receiving food stamps this month. "I got laid off and I couldn't feed my kids and I was having a hard time paying the rent," she says.
Arroyo has two kids and is loading them in her van. Today, with the help of food stamps, she's purchased several bags of groceries including cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party at school. Arroyo says she's not embarrassed about using food stamps. "Maybe some women might feel embarrassed. I didn't because I have been working my entire life," she says. "I'm 41 years old and I feel that if I paid for taxes, I'm just in a way getting some of my hard-earned tax money back. Before I was working and helping other families get food stamps, and now it's my turn to get something back from what I contributed."
And for many of these Bronx residents, the stigma of being on food stamps is quickly fading.For more on this story, visit the WNYC News Blog.

As early as April, speculation started about a sequel for the device which was named the Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE. Early pictures of the device revealed what the "Q" was going to stand for, which was the same thing it stands for on the T-Mobile myTouch line, a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. Sure enough, the Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE packs what appears to be the same QWERTY as the Motorola DROID 4.
When Sprint CEO Dan Hesse was conducting the carrier's conference call for Q2 earnings, he mentioned that the Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE would be launching soon. Now, PhoneDog says that it will be August 19th when the model is released via Sprint. The word is that Sprint's people are training on the phone. Previously, it was learned that the Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE will come with an unlockable bootloader, a feature that the manufacturer plans on offering on its future models.
While we do have an idea on the date that the phone will be launched, we have no word on pricing.

The past month or so, Marvin Williams has smiled, scowled, flexed and dunked for the national media's cameras. His photo has been in Sports Illustrated and Slam, his story told in media outlets on both coasts and in between. He patiently posed Friday as a photographer working for USA Today asked him to raise his elbows, then close his lips as he stood, shirtless, gripping a ball in a Smith Center hallway. This is what stardom is about. (Durham Herald-Sun)

Very nice. Safe shooting.
I do not have a large collection like others here. But I like to shoot long distance at small objects.
This is my Sig Sauer SSG 3000 with a Leupold MK 4 4.5-14x50 LR/T scope.
The guys I shoot with love to shoot golf balls a 100 and 300 yards and tennis balls at 400.
We have alot of fun and good practice.
Very nice. Safe shooting.
You chose well, I've always enjoyed the art of long range delivery of projectials. Good luck with this sweetheart.
I alway wanted to try that long distance shooting. Your sure have a beauty there to do it with. Good luck with it.
One of the things I miss the most, living on this island, is the 1,050-yard range to which I belonged, back in Southern California.
I now have a 1,000-yard rifle, but access only to a 100-yard range.
This is a photo of one of our week end shoots. We meet first Saturday of each month.
Nice weapon!!!!
Long Range shooting is very rewarding. A golf ball at 300 yards......nice!!!!!
Sorry, borris...
I thought that you could read Russian.

Vill du ange som standardvaluta eller gäller valutan endast för detta besök?
we arrived late off of a flight and we were made feel so welcome by the owner, nothing was too much trouble,we had to leave early in the morning but before we left we had the most wonderfull freshly cooked breakfast followed by fresh out of the oven scones butter and jam,while we got ourselves ready the owner was outside defrosting our car, the most wonderfull service we have ever had and if we are back that way again thats where we will be staying. nothing i didnt like about this hotel
Pleasant owners who tried to accommodate our needs. Because the weather was unusually cold the room did not feel warm enough even when the heating was on.
The staff was very nice. The place was peaceful and homely
The guest house was great. I was immediately greeted by name upon arrival and given a spacious room with a fantastic bathroom. Additionally, as I had an early flight out of Shannon the owner offered to serve me breakfast an hour earlier than normal. The guest house is in immaculate condition and I would highly recommend it to any type of traveler. Its location - less than 5 minutes from Bunratty castle is an added bonus!
it was very peaceful, nice hosts, would go there again to have night away, excellent breakfast. none
Location is very convenient to the Bunratty Castle and Folk experience, and a 10 minute straight ride to the Shannon airport. Hosts were great, breakfast was the best we had in Ireland, house is lovely. Not a thing
We liked the location and the friendly hedlpful people who run the guesthouse. Enjoyble stay.
This was our last night in Ireland. We couldn't of picked a better place. Very clean and nice. The owner was a Wounderful man. I would stay there again
Clean facilities!! Huge bathrooms!! Comfortable beds and friendly staff. If I had it to do over, I would have stayed here all 6 nights and just visited sights we could drive to. Great location, too. Room 7 was excellent. No problems at all.
The hotel stay was amazing the staff was so wonderful. Noel who ownes the hotel couldn't be more helpful made a family of five of various ages OAPs Child and two adults feel very special. It was our first wedding anniversary and the hotel staff and noel made it an amazing short trip. The food was excellent and the rooms are stunning.
The staff were extremely gracious and the dinner we had was exceptional.
close to bunrathy castle easy to find and get to no electricity or hot water in the morning the hotel staff phoned early in the morning and woke us to see if we were staying another night even though they had already asked us prior to check in.
very spacious triple room. big bathroom. good location for bunratty castle.
A very pleasant welcome to the hotel and very attentive staff at breakfast. The plaster in our room (12) needed attention urgently. This did not put us off this hotel but it could be considered an eyesore.
Beautiful room. V.nice, friendly staff. Beautiful meal, V. well presented. Reasonable rates. No toilet paper in rooms on arrival. Dirty cups, empty tea and milk sachets and unclean used and empty sherry decanter and glasses left in room. Room generally only half cleaned. Owner was apolegetic but did not return to room with the sherry.Sherry was not available in my sister's room and the owner said that decanters that go missing are not being replaced! Mirror light in bathroom not working. No soap. Was handed toilet rolls at reception to bring to the room myself!
The manager took a personnal interest in meeting each guest. None.
We enjoyed our stay. It was very convenient to Shannon Airport. Hotel staff helped us with dinner reservations. Very friendly. It was a short walk to town.
Antique furniture, clean. All services allocated to the in-hotel restaurant. Services to hotel guests are poor.
The location was perfect for walkable access to Bunratty Castle and Park. We were there for one day and the staff was friendly. The rooms were large and clean. We had dinner there and the food was 5 star and the service impeccable. I would highly recommend this place.
Mycket bra läge för att komma snabbt till flyget, tar tre minuter att gå. Lite synd med kille i recptionen när vi checkade ut, hur trött och trög som helst
Hotellet är utmärkt beläget alldeles nära flygplatsen, med vänlig personal.Maten var god men som överallt på Irland för dyr. Se ovan
The people where great. Very accomadating and friendly. nothing
Clean and safe. Felt welcomed when we walked in. Excellent location. We chose to stay in Bunratty because of the proximity to Shannon airport (15 mins drive) and because it gave us one last experience of Ireland's rich history. Only downside was that we didn't have more time to explore or experience breakfast there.
An excellent guesthouse. Shiny and meticulous. Mary and Michael were friendly and professional. We will book with them on our next stay in Ireland.
The food was great and it was quiet Everything was fine
Our waitress was charming. The old aviation adverts displayed in the corridors were interesting. It has a thinner than usual veneer of quality: no porter was offered for our cases; breakfast fruit was tinned, there was no yoghurt; dinner waitress didn't know how to serve a bottle of wine; and so on. More akin to an average B&B than a hotel.
We have always found the hotel excellant, from our perspective it supplies good facilities close to airport and is an ideal way to start our holidays in Ireland. No.
Lobby areas are nice Decor was quite dated and the beds were very uncomfortable for the price.
How close yet quiet it was to the Shannon airport. And the front desk staff was extrememly helpful in getting info to us, and even helped me make a resevation for when I'd be back in the area; but at another motel as Oakwood arms was completely booked. The girls that were the most help were May nad Lisa. Some of the mattresses and pillows were very hard!!!
Very clean hotel with spacious rooms and friendly staff. Fresh brewed real coffee which is hard to find in Ireland. 2 minute drive to Shannon Airport
It was cute, & quaint. Loved the antique pieces around the public areas. Was close to airport, which was our main need, as our flight was very early. Staff was great! Very helpful for our very short stay. Bathroom needed more space for our stuff. We could have used more hangers for our clothes. Shuttle service to the airport would have been Great!
There seems to be a rich history here, but little that I saw to tell about it. Stay waa fine, close to Shannon airport. -
Wi-Fi did not work during our stay (could log in but no ability beyond that - I heard another customer at the front desk showing the problem on their tablet (i.e. it was a hotel problem) but it was never fixed for them or for us. With no international phone coverage on my mobile, Wi-Fi as promised would have been helpful.
Perfect for a stay when flying from shannon airport Nothing
It was convenient to airport and the guy that checked us in at 11 o'clock at night was very helpful and polite
The bed was very comfortable Non Irish at the reception desk is not appropriate
Location to Shannon Airport.
Cheap accomodation The hotel advertised that it had a swimming pool and when we arrived we found that the pool was actually in another hotel, very dissapointed and were left with bored child
the staff were very helpful food was very nice we would to eat some nice traditional food there was nothing wrong with the Chinesefood but it would be nice to have a little more irish but it is a great hotel for reaching the airport and thanks for letting us leave our car while we went on holidaysMichael and Breda Lynam
everyone very friendly. only criticism is having the one style of resturant - i was only there two nights - is it chinese every night? if so and stayed longer then would have to eat elsewhere see above
the friendly atmosphere
Super helpful, convenient, clean comfortable room, and the food at the pub restaurant was delicious. Just what we needed between flights from Europe to USA. All the ironing boards were being used, but they brought us an iron and we made do. Very helpful, courteous staff. Thanks for a great stay!
Fine location, very convenient to the airport, relatively comfortable bed, nice shower No breakfast included for the price
Close to airport. Excellent chinese resturaunt
Our hosts were fabulous. We got to spend some time chatting with them the evening we arrived. Wonderful people! Their home was spacious with comfortable rooms and beds. Breakfast was great and they are located just a few miles from Shannon airport. Thank you Kathryn, Sean and Denise for such a delightful end to our stay, in Ireland! There was nothing I didn't like, besides the fact that we couldn't stay longer.
What I liked best was the gorgeous location: beautiful green pastures in a quiet, country setting in a lovely B&B. If you want rest and quiet, this is a great place to recharge. The staff is also very accommodating. We wanted to take a nice walk in the area, and we were given some great suggestions. I can't think of anything I didn't like.
Gorgeous room, lovely staff who made us feel welcome and catered to our requests with enthusiasm. After dinner, we asked for our dessert to be delivered to our room later in the evening, and without a blink they graciously worked it out. Beautifuly countryside framing a beautiful old house---total comfort inside! Absolutely none...
lovely quiet location in Irish countryside, ideal place to stay before or after a transatlantic flight. peaceful. friendly and helpful staff. We liked it a lot.
The welcome at 11.30 pm - friendly and a good cup of tea. Good dining room, comfortable room, over all excellent value for money. We would go again. A bit hard to find, but worth it in the end.
Excellent staff. Early arrival no problem. Nice food.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice clean, spacious rooms. Very convenient for Shannon airport. Comfortable and quiet.
This country hotel is a hidden gem...we chose it for its proximity to Shannon Airport but in fact it was a delight and we'd have happily have stayed longer. The sumptuous decor and tasty home cooked breakfasts were really special Nothing negative
The staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful that they enhanced a perfect country setting that was a few minutes from Bunratty castle and the airport. Food was excellent and they truly catered to the international traveler. The early breakfast on a Sunday morning for those needing to get to the airport was so helpful and then a map to the gas station and then the rental car lots at the airport were detailed and perfect. They also provided us with excellent directions to the hotel.The sunset over the Shannon estuary as we ate an excellent meal was the icing on the cake. Very pleased indeed. The quirky lighting system----the overhead light had to be on for the bathroom light to work. But the hotel is delightfully old, so what can one expect!!
Great staff, laid-back but efficient, friendly atmosphere. Nice location. Very flexible - I didn't want a full dinner because of business lunch earlier and so had a really first-class smoked salmon platter and good glass of red wine. None
I loved the beauty and authentic appearance of the house and surroundings as well as the close proximity to the Shannon airport.. The scenery was beautiful, the room was beautiful and the hosts were wonderful. We also had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. We will definitely stay there again

By introducing the fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo and combining the pretreatment technique to deal with long nonlinear items, the generalized two-dimensional differential transform method is proposed for solving the time-fractional Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV equation and coupled MKdV equation. The presented method is a numerical method based on the generalized Taylor series expansion which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial. The numerical results show that the generalized two-dimensional differential transform method is very effective for the fractional coupled equations.

Your favorite Java IDE?
There are a lot of IDE's out there but none of them fits all. Therefore we would like to know which one is favored in the Java Community. Once we know that we will start using this IDE for our future tutorials.
[AngularJS] ng-bind VS double curly braces
Every programmer familiar with AngularJS knows at least one of the forms to achieve double data binding. The double brace notation is the foundation of every Angular page. But exactly what is the difference between using {{dummy.data}} and the ng-bind="dummy.data" directive?!
C# in one video [Tutorial]
With Microsoft recently going more Open Source with C# it's important for every programmer to know at least the basics of it's language. Therefore here we have a quick tutorial covering all the basics from C# to get you going. Enjoy and feel free to share.
Common CSS problems resolved
Although CSS is a well known tool amongst web developers a lot of problems bother every single one of them. These problems can sometimes lead to nasty solutions. Here is a brief tutorial on how to overcome these problems so you won't have to solve them ever again.
Swift programming tutorial [Beginner]
Swift, the all new language from Apple has matured over the first year of its existence. Recent announcements made it clear swift will proceed as an open source programming language, making ports to windows and Linux inherent . This means that it is a worthy candidate for a future programming language, besides for apple products of course. Better start programming then! Enjoy!
Ruby on Rails
Ruby is yet very useful, unknown to many programmers. So here is a great tutorial that will help you on how to start ruby on rails programming! Share your experience down below!

From my experience the Hoppe's No.9 won't hurt your bluing as long as you don't soak your weapon in it, you wipe your gun down as soon as you are done with it and then a super light oiling afterwords. It does have ammonia in it, and you can smell it during use. Ammonia can cut just about anything if it's on it long enough.
But take heart, Hoppe's has been around longer than I have and if it would damage a gun they would have been out of business a very long time ago.
It is a good cleaner if you have light to medium fouling or residue, and it's fresh. Old residue needs a more effective cleaner.
Any other opinions and viewpoints are certainly welcome wheather I'm right or wrong.

Until Run-DMC came along in the early 1980s, most hip-hop music wasn't much more than nursery rhymes over disco loops. They popularized the idea of rap as a new kind of rock & roll--the voice of the streets set to the raw sounds of a turntablist one-man-band. The group even managed to pioneer the collision of rock and rap with a groundbreaking take on Aerosmith's "Walk This Way." Run-DMC is now viewed as the avatar of old-school hip-hop, almost quaint by 21st-century gangsta standards, but undeniably influential. Sadly, Run-DMC disbanded in 2002, after the tragic murder of Jam Master Jay, the group's groundbreaking DJ.
No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: RUN DMCTitle: GREATEST HITSStreet Release Date: 09/10/2002DomesticGenre: RAP/HIP HOP
Is Run-DMC the most important group of the past 25 years? Well, if you believe that the rise of hip-hop is the most significant musical development in a quarter century, what other conclusion can you draw? Though they may not have been responsible for the birth of rap, the Hollis, Queens, trio represents the genre''s coming of age. They were the ones who brought what was largely a regional street phenomenon to the masses. The rhymes, the beats, the style, the attitude--Run-DMC introduced it all to the world. Focusing mostly on the group''s first three albums--each of them a cornerstone of rap music--this 18-track collection is a reminder of a time when rap enjoyed a kind of childlike innocence: their boasts are forceful but not angry; the beats are simple but exciting; the overall effect (fueled by heavy-metal riffs) is edgy and aggressive, but not violent or destructive. But most of all, it''s fun. In the 1990s, rap artists would take Run-DMC''s ideas to wide extremes, but the roots of this next generation--gangsta rap''s street realism, political rap''s social agendas, rock-rap''s antagonism--are found right here. Run-DMC--like almost all pioneers from Elvis to Louis Armstrong--suffered a period of irrelevancy when they were looked upon as quaint or outdated, but, their time will come. Rest assured, this is not ''80s retro kitsch. --Marc Greilsamer

The developer of HomeSafe, a community for battered women and their children, approached Studio E Architects with an interesting challenge. In addition to the usual affordable housing request—good design on a shoestring budget—they also wanted the project to fit into a co-housing format. "The developers felt it was part of the healing process to put these women who had shared this horrible experience together," says architect John Sheehan of Studio E.
The San Diego-based firm approached the co-housing concept with gusto. It divided the development's 25 units into three main residential buildings, layering common kitchen, dining, and living areas with private bedroom suites for each resident. "[The suites] are a place the women can retreat to and be alone if they want," says Sheehan. Double sinks, refrigerators, stoves, and ranges in each kitchen help avoid the conflicts the client had experienced in earlier projects with shared cooking spaces.
As with most battered women's housing, security plays a major role. In addition to locked gates and cameras, the courtyard site plan provides natural surveillance in an "eyes on the street" fashion. And the daycare and community center at the entrance acts as a buffer between the street and the residential buildings.

Do we have to elaborate our points or can we just straight up write the answer in the Leamhthuiscint and pros liteartha
It depends.
Irish comprehensions can be hard to answer and most students copy straight from the text. However, doing this, especially on HL will only get you a few marks - maybe not even half the marks for each question that you give this type of answer to - even if it's correct! You MUST refer back to the question.
What I do, is I first add the article "an" to the sentence and the thing that the question is asking me for - example, fáth (reason). So I write down "an fáth" - the reason and then copy the rest of the question and at the end of that write down "ná" and copy your answer from the text! Therefore, this way, you are not copying EVERYTHING from the text - some of it and you're referring back to the question. This way, you get your full marks easily.
However, if it says pronouns like "muid/sinn" or "againn" or "orainn" etc, change it to "siad, acu, orthu" etc.
Just copy it from the text, you do actually get full marks. I got full marks in the mocks and I just copied the text, I didn't even know what I was writing about. Just find the sentence with the same words and write it as the answer. The only time you would change anything would be if its it the first person ie just change mé to sí, agam to aici etc
And I got full marks for my method?
Congratulations, but mine works just fine and its easier so your wasting you time.
When I did that, I never got full marks - yes I used to do it.
Wow great story, but it works so I don't know what to tell you
you too

Kentucky Downs Radford 88-40
Nov. 23, 2011
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | AP Photo Gallery | Photo Gallery
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Terrence Jones scored 17 points and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 15 points and nine rebounds to help No. 2 Kentucky beat Radford 88-40 on Wednesday night in the Wildcats' first home game in nearly two weeks.
Kentucky (5-0) improved to 35-0 at Rupp Arena since John Calipari took over as coach in 2009 and has a final tuneup game against Portland on Saturday before St. John's comes on Dec. 1 and No. 1 North Carolina visits two days later.
Radford (3-4) struggled against Kentucky's defensive pressure and athleticism. The Highlanders missed their first 12 shots and committed eight turnovers before finally scoring nearly 10 minutes into the game. They finished 2 of 25 from 3-point range.
Kentucky returned home for the first time since its season opener against Marist after a successful three-game road trip that featured a win over then-No. 13 Kansas in New York City and two more in Uncasville, Conn. over Penn State and Old Dominion to capture the Hall of Fame Tip-Off tournament.
No one has come within double digits of the Wildcats so far this year, and Radford already trailed 14-0 before Blake Smith's jumper with 10:27 left in the first half as the Highlanders missed their first 20 3-point attempts.
Kentucky took a 22-2 lead on Anthony Davis' putback before Radford scored back-to-back baskets.
Radford wasn't expected to provide much competition to Kentucky after losses to the Nittany Lions and Marist earlier this season. Kentucky beat those teams by 38 and 50 points, respectively, but came out with five early turnovers than had Calipari going to his bench in the opening minutes.
Things got better in a hurry.
Kentucky pulled away quickly. Marquis Teague found Kidd-Gilchrist for a dunk that made it 29-6. Doron Lamb hit Kentucky's first 3-pointer after the Wildcats missed their first six attempts to put Kentucky ahead 38-12.
Jones followed with a 3 and an alley-oop slam over Javonte Green off another pass from Teague as the Wildcats rolled to a 45-14 halftime lead.
Teague finished with 13 points, Davis 12 and Lamb 10 for the Wildcats. Johnathan Edwards had 10 points and eight rebounds for Radford.
When the Highlanders tried to run even a little, the Wildcats turned up the pressure.
After Radford scored consecutive baskets that made it 49-18, Kidd-Gilchrist hit a 3, Lamb fed Teague down court for an easy slam in transition and Lamb threw an alley-oop to Jones to make it 56-18 with 16:44 left.
The last time Radford faced the No. 2 team in the country it lost 101-58 to North Carolina in the NCAA tournament two years ago.
The Highlanders trailed by 43 in this one with more than 13 minutes to play and needed a basket by Jareal Smith in the final minute to avoid a school record for fewest points in a game in team history.

Many of you will probably be unaware than Klipsch makes more than just earphones, like the fantastic Image and Custom-3 sets we've looked at. However, that could well change with the launch of Klipsch's 'Reference' series into the UK market.
The Reference series comprises 20 different speakers, for both HiFi and home cinema setups. All of Klipsch's speakers are timbrally matched allowing mixing and matching of any speakers without compromising on audio composition - at least so the marketing spiel claims. Experience dictates such allegations should hold true.
On the home cinema front there's a a choice of four subwoofers, three surround speakers and three centre speakers. All of which can be mixed with Klipsch's range of bookshelf and floor-standing speakers a budget dictates.
Pricing is, obviously, dependant on what speakers are put in what configuration, but a decent 5.1-surround system, such as the RB-10 set-up pictured, can be specced up for under £900, and that's at MSRPs, which (r)etailers should undercut.

Fine Arts
posted by Alyssa on .
What elements of art are used in the painting/sculpture Madonna and Child in Arch? I think harmony is used but what else?
thank you kindly <3
could you provide a link to the painting/sculpture?
Here are some sites on the elements of art.
Since you did not say who is the artist, I am unable to give you further information. After looking at these sites if you need more help, please repost.
Is it the metal relief covered in gold? Hrmony is not an element of art. The elements of art here are:
Line: because the picture is covered in gold, line is the main element that contributes to the overall success of the design. Line is used to bring forth the subject of this work and also outline the background setting. the subject of Madonna and her child is outlined and emphasized through the use of thin line in their overall shape, facial and bodily features (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and legs), hair, halos, clothing and jewelry details. In the bottom right corner, line is used to outline and decorate a vase. In the background, line draws a large arch supported by elegant columns.
Color: the only color present is gold, perhaps used to emphasize its religious importance or simply draw the viewer's attention in its direction.
SHape and form: both figures appear to be three-dimensional and hold natural human figure.
Space: the majority of the space is taken by madonna and her child, thus emphasizing their importance.

Thanksgiving Dinner – Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar and Spice
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. – Cicero
I received a few recipes about mashed or baked potatoes but surprisingly nothing on sweet potatoes. The mashed potato recipes were all very similar but I was looking for something a little different. I went through my books and found this great recipe from Williams-Sonoma's Thanksgiving cookbook (isbn #0-7835-0324-5). First of all this is a great little book and this sweet potato recipe is delectable.
This past weekend I was not feeling well so I made this dish. Thank my wife for going out and getting the ingredients and helping me out. She is my sous chef and always supports my crazy ideas when it comes to experimenting with recipes. My family and I throughly enjoyed this dish. I know you will too! By the way as I write this post the song, "Shut up Shuttin' up" by Alex Lifeson is blaring on my Mac. How ironic it came on when I was writing about my wife. Listen to the song you'll laugh! Click the link Shut Up Shuttin' Up
By the way Alex is supposed to be quite the cook.
Did you know?
Mashed potatoes at the first Thanksgiving was technically possible but highly unlikely. The Pilgrims (and most Europeans of that time) regarded these tubers as barely suitable for animals. It wasn't until the great famines of the 18th century when potatoes were eaten on a regular basis. What's better than a baked potato, sour cream, chives and bacon on a cold blustery day. Go figure!
Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar and Spice
serves 8-10
6 lbs. yams (the red skinned sweet pototes)
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream or half & half
6 Tbsp. room temperature salted butter
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Pierce the sweet potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake until very tender (when it is easily pierced with a fork), about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Maintain the oven temperature.
Butter a 2 – 3 qt. baking dish. Halve the sweet potatoes and scrape the flesh from the skins with a spoon into the bowl. Add 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, cream,butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and vanilla. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, spoon or masher beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Spoon into th baking dish, smooth the top. Sprinkle the pecans and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar evenly over the top.
Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
Try this out and let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.

Former NBA player Marcus Camby sued over nephew's drowning
HOUSTON — Former NBA player Marcus Camby has been named defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit over the drowning of his 9-year-old autistic nephew in a pond on Camby's Houston-area property last Thanksgiving. The federal lawsuit, filed Thursday by the boy's father, Marcus Kendall McGhee, alleges that Camby was aware of the limitations of his nephew, Marcus Carter McGhee, but failed to supervise the child and used no protective measures to keep him away from the pond. The boy was […]

13-year-old plans suicide after 'absolutely heartbreaking' yearbook bullying
BUCKLEY, Wash. – A Washington state mother said she was heartbroken after her 13-year-old son told her he wanted to kill himself after relentless bullying at school. His mom also told KCPQ that the boy's classmates wrote hateful messages in his school yearbook, telling him he should commit suicide. The 7th-grader said he would usually try to arrive late to class to avoid his bullies – but last week's incident was too much for him to handle, and he planned to take […]

That would put you right in line with me, CM, which is good since I think we're on the same "tier" for lives and XP tomes and all that.
Well, actually, if Aletys and JM are both no-shows, we have a little more flexibility than one might think. Those two are probably better suited to catching up than any of the rest of us and they run together all the time. Since Devil Assault and the Chrono raid aren't tied to bravery bonus, we could actually jump into the next round of content this week and come back for those next week when all hands are on deck. The only downfall to that plan is that Az is significantly behind on XP without many avenues available to catch up.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Arsène Wenger insists he is not scared to spend money in the transfer market.
On Friday morning, Arsenal posted buoyant financial figures. Both profit and turnover were at record levels. In addition the Club's debt had been significantly reduced.
The manager has been criticised for not re-enforcing his squad with part of this money. However Wenger argues it is his responsibility to use his club's funds as wisely as he can.
"I have the wrong reputation," he said. "I'm not scared to spend money.
"But the job of a manager is not to spend as much money and to get someone like Marouane Chamakh for free. But instead of getting credit you get accused for getting him for free. [People say] 'why did you not get spend £20 million for him?'
"If I'd bought him two years ago for £20 million it's OK. But when you get him for free it's 'oh, he didn't spend money again'."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, hometown of the 2B for the Pirates 1909 World Championship team, Dots Miller. In fact they have some of the same relatives in common, so it was only natural for him to become a lifelong Pirates fan. Before joining Pirates Prospects in July 2010, John had written numerous articles on the history of baseball while also releasing his own book and co-authoring another on the history of the game. He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site.

Al Gore follows daddy's grass-grazing past
So much has been written about how poor Al Gore was all but forced to follow in his daddy the senator's footsteps, eventually succumbing to pressure to take up his line of work, and take on his unfulfilled ambitions.
Yet now that the former vice president is without any question writing his own script and can follow any path he likes, the one he's chosen with the sale of his Current TV network to Qatar-funded al-Jazeera is not just hypocritical but awfully familiar to those who remember what his father did after leaving public life.
Albert Gore Sr. lost his U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee in 1970. After his defeat, he went to work for the oil baron Armand Hammer, whose Occidental Petroleum broke into the big leagues after it started doing business in Libya in 1965 — on visas then-Sen. Gore had helped his old pal obtain.
Before any of that, however, in 1972, Gore Sr. went to work as chairman of Occidental's coal subsidiary, Island Creek, which on his watch committed a slew of environmental violations, some involving strip mining — a practice that young congressman Al campaigned against.
To his credit, Gore Sr. was at least honest about cashing in: "Since I had been turned out to pasture," he told The Washington Post in 1980, "I decided to go graze the tall grass."
If all of this was inconvenient for his son the environmental crusader, it wasn't as if Al Jr. bore personal responsibility for his father's decisions.
Until he repeated them, that is.
At the historically painful conclusion of his own political career, he at least was free at last — of any ambitions imposed and any scandals not of his making. Now he could follow his true passion and calling — the one that, even eight years after writing the environmental manifesto "Earth in the Balance," he rarely mentioned while running for president.
After the Supreme Court turned him out to pasture, Gore did begin doing the kind of work that his friends had always thought suited him best; with his pointer and slide show, he traveled the country preaching about global climate change.
There's nothing wrong with getting rich or in turning a turkey like Current TV into a big payday. But now, of course, he and his partners have sold Current for $500 million to al-Jazeera, the state media company of Qatar, which has the largest per capita carbon footprint of any country in the world, and is financed by the dirty fossil-fuel business Gore so abhors.
And just how does raking in $100 million petrodollars, Gore's reported share, mesh with his life's mission? In an interview last year, Gore said the importance of "reducing our dependence on expensive, dirty oil" can really only be understood in light of the "main reason for doing this, which is to save the future of civilization."
Although the deal's been widely criticized on the right, most of my "progressive" friends have a more tolerant, or even admiring, reaction: "After what happened to him," in the recount of 2000, one friend told me, "I'd forgive him almost anything." Another, a politically active environmentalist, was even more positive: "I don't think the community is too upset," he said. "My personal sense is he got a good deal."
There's no question about that.
But given his many financial opportunities, why do something that so undercuts his message and credibility?
He said in a statement that the common goal of Current TV and al-Jazeera is "to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."
Translation? When put out to pasture, oh do graze in the tall grass — and don't get too fussy about who signs the checks.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.

Hey Gang-
Great forum and glad to see all the help here. I am about to sound like a complete bozo/novice in asking this, but I just aquired a new 1939-42 Luger and 1939 holster(with capture papers!), but have no idea how to disassemble the darn thing to clean it. The barrel looks okay and is not pitted inside, but also looks like it has collected dust over the last 60 years. The finish is about 60%.
Also, any ideas on how a sergeant in a 9th Armored Ordnance Batallion would have gotten ahold of this? Surely he would not have been on the front line to have taken it directly from the German soldier, or would he have? Were ordnance men on the front line?
Thanks, Paul

Culture & Psychology

Cultural Psychology | Psychology
Listen to the Culture & Psychology podcast!
Culture & Psychology is a leading international peer reviewed journal of scholarly contributions, integrating various aspects of the general notion of culture with scientific psychology.
Culture in its various forms—semiotic mediation, situated activity, dialogical nature of the self and its environment, social representing of human living—is present in each and every moment in our human lives. The science of cultural psychology unites psychology, anthropology, sociology, and history into a general science of cultural being. Its focus is on basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions, and everyday creativity. The goal of Culture & Psychology is to lead the international scholarly community towards new general theoretical approaches in psychology that include culture. It is not an outlet for purely empirical papers of comparison of people from different ethnic groups. Empirical work is published if demonstrated to be relevant for theory, and adequacy of the data to the phenomena is carefully scrutinized.
"Culture & Psychology exhibit[s] a range of thought still fresh enough to remain open to the varieties of experience... [The] high degree of organization not only gives a remarkable coherence to the issues, it also exhibits the cross-disciplinary excitement that arises when psychologists begin to claim culture as a relevant aspect of human psychology" Times Literary Supplement
"A much-needed addition to the field, in line with the growing recognition that all development, all thinking, acting or feeling takes place in a cultural context" Jacqueline Goodnow
Culture & Psychology is available on SAGE Journals Online.
Follow Culture & Psychology on Twitter
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Culture & Psychology addresses the centrality of culture necessary for a basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions and semiotic creativity.
By drawing on diverse theoretical backgrounds, the editorial aim is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly investigations and discussions that will advance our basic knowledge of the self in its historical and cultural contexts. The orientation of the journal is towards formulating new conceptualizations of culture in psychology, together with theoretically relevant empirical investigations. Contributions from anthropology, sociology, education, ethnography, cultural history, linguistics, communication studies and philosophy will further enhance the journal's commitment to interdisciplinary psychology.

Culture & Psychology is a leading international peer reviewed journal of scholarly contributions, integrating various aspects of the general notion of culture with scientific psychology. It emphasizes theoretical breakthroughs in the area, and encourages interdisciplinary dialogue oriented towards the future of the field.
Culture & Psychology publishes original articles of theoretical relevance for linking the notions of culture and psychology. It is the flagship journal on cultural psychology. The inclusion of empirical evidence in the papers is encouraged if that evidence has relevance for theoretical advancements in cultural psychology. Since the nature of psychological phenomena is qualitative in their nature, empirical evidence that is included in theoretically relevant manuscripts is expected to be using qualitative methods. If quantitative methods use is necessary the authors are expected to prove in the manuscript that quantification of the phenomena under study is warranted. Culture & Psychology publishes commentaries on the articles published, and book review essays that outline specific theoretical values of the books under consideration. Review articles on theoretical advances in any sub-fields of cultural psychology may be considered, but reviews of empirical literature are not published in the Journal.
Full papers are generally restricted to a maximum of 6,000 words, including all elements (title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, biographical statement, etc). Authors who suspect that their articles will have to be cut anyway should make the required deletions before submitting. A Review Essay can be about a single book (which must be very significant to warrant this much attention), about several books, or 'state-of-the-art' articles (usually up to 2,000 words).
2. Editorial Policies
All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editor and one Associate Editor within the first 6 weeks after submission. All submissions are via the journal's web-based review system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cap. Only those papers that meet the scientific and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal, will be sent for outside review. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. Authors should expect to have reviewers' comments within approximately 10 weeks after the manuscript is sent for full review. The peer review process is interdisciplinary and international with special care taken by the Editorial Office not to include reviewers from only one country, and one discipline. In general, Editors will seek advice from two or more expert reviewers about the scientific content and presentation of submitted articles. As a rule, the reviewing process is open, but both authors and reviewers can request that their anonymity be respected. Given the central role of commentaries that are to appear with published articles, the publication time may be around 1 year after the final acceptance of the manuscripts.
The journal publishes exclusively in English. Papers must be original and not currently under review elsewhere. We will, from now on, strictly limit the length of articles to 6,000 words, and of commentaries to 2,000.
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student's dissertation or thesis.
SAGE is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics' International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the SAGE Author Gateway
Culture and Psychology and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of articles published in the journal. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked using duplication-checking software. Where an article is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article (removing it from the journal); taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; banning the author from publication in the journal or all SAGE journals, or appropriate legal action.

5. Journal contributor's publishing agreement
Before publication SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement. SAGE's Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.
5.1 SAGE Choice and Open Access
If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice. For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self author archiving deposits (green open access) visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.
6. Declaration of conflicting interests

For more information please visit the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.
None applicable.
Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your References.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an `Acknowledgements' section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Authors should disclose whether they had any writing assistance and identify the entity that paid for this assistance.
To comply with the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers issued by the Research Information Network (RIN), Culture & Psychology additionally requires all Authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. All research articles should have a funding acknowledgement in the form of a sentence as follows, with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets:
This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxx].
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by semi-colon, with "and" before the final funder. Thus:
This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa].
In some cases, research is not funded by a specific project grant, but rather from the block grant and other resources available to a university, college or other research institution. Where no specific funding has been provided for the research we ask that corresponding authors use the following sentence:
This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
Please include this information under a separate heading entitled "Funding" directly after any other Acknowledgements prior to your "Declaration of Conflicting Interests" (if applicable), any Notes and your References.
Important note: If you have any concerns that the provision of this information may compromise your anonymity dependent on the peer review policy of this journal outlined above, you can withhold this information until final accepted manuscript.
