Very disappointed
By LBR
from North Carolina
I was very disappointed in this product. The snowman does not glisten as shown in the catalog or on the web. The crystal appears more like plain glass. There is a cutout for the village; that was not stated anywhere in the description. I thought the village would be encased in the snowman's body. The village lighting is very dim. The train is noisy and screeches as it goes around the front of the snowman. Have tried to adjust the train cars to no avail. If I had the packing materials I'd return it asap.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not exactly what I expected.
By Sue
from Greenfield, Wisconsin
Delivery was prompt. Will put somewhere as Christmas Decoration. I feel it is a rather "pricy" knick-knack. Was hoping it would look like an expensive crystal decoration. I was also surprised that the front of body was open. Supposedly it is open to clean...If village was enclosed it would not get dusty. Bottom line...do not love it as I thought I would.

The product looks nothing like the picture. I was very disappointed when my 90 year old grandma opened the box. I thought it would have a little more sparkle to it. It was all dusty too.

By Retired in Illinois
from Norridge , Illinois
Used the product as additional holiday decoration. Pleasant to look at , gets one in the holiday spirit. The illumination could be brighter. It would be cool if a light could be placed on the front of the moving train.
Nice but lighting is not very bright
By Dave
from Avon Lake, OH
The snow man seems to be well made. It is dissapointing how little light is emitted.
By Eddiesgirl
from Punta Gorda, Florida
I have been looking at this snowman in the catalog for a very long time. This year I decided to get one for myself and one for my sister. We are both so pleased. My husband was a railroad conductor and the little train that goes around "Frosty" as we call him, is wonderful. It's especially beautiful at night when the scene lights up. I can't give this enough praise and the packaging was done so well so nothing would break.

Oxbow Eco-Center
St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Department
The Oxbow Eco-Center's mission is to foster an awareness and appreciation of the natural world, an understanding of ecosystems and sustainability, and a sense of stewardship toward Florida and all its inhabitants through educational programs.
The Oxbow Eco-Center is an environmental learning center located on a 225-acre preserve on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and is where young and old alike can discover the mysterious and hidden life of the forest and river. The preserve at the "Oxbow" is a living laboratory, offering year-round educational programs on a variety of nature-related subjects. At the Oxbow, you can join a naturalist on a guided walk through quiet gardens planted and nurtured by Mother Nature herself, or journey on your own through the verdant and wild sanctuary. The preserve offers a rare glimpse of "the real Florida" - a place where the past and the present come alive in the canopy of the floodplain forest, the scrub and pine flatwoods and in the primordial swamps and wetlands.
The Oxbow Eco-Center houses an Exhibit Hall and Discovery Room, which invite you to use all your senses, touching various artifacts of nature, listening to bird songs, and seeing some of Florida's native reptiles. The centerpiece exhibit takes you on a journey down the St. Lucie River, one of the most diverse rivers in the state, with more species of fish than any other river in Florida. This life-size exhibit takes you from the river's genesis, all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, visiting both the freshwater environment and the estuary along the way. You will experience a unique view of the underwater world, where you'll encounter dozens of fish species, including 20 different replicas of fish, several turtles and crustaceans, and even a life-size manatee with her calf. You'll also learn about the land and habitat that surround the river as you gaze up through a created water line to view native Florida plants and animals, including nearly a dozen species of birds. It's an experience you won't want to miss!
The Oxbow also teaches by example! The Center was constructed using 'green building technologies,' and is a model for sustainability. Passive light design, solar panels, recycled and recyclable materials were used in the Center's construction. In addition, a cistern system captures rainfall to flush the toilets, and the floors are made from salvaged pine trees lost in the St. Johns River in the early logging days. The building is proof that each of us can lighten our load on the planet and protect our precious natural resources for future generations to come.

I have an Inspiron 600m with the ALPS touch pad that has the ability in windows to scroll the window using the pad, however, in backtrack I don't have this functionality, and was wondering if anybody else has came across a solution that I may have overlooked?
I just like having the functionality of it, because I feel I am more productive with it at getting stuff done. Is there a setting in backtrack that I am missing??
Thanks for all replies that come my way.

Music Video Girls: Exploitive or an Industry of Independence
UK TV Channel BBC3 once in a while produces something worth taking a look at, and the minute I saw an advert for their latest one-off documentary endeavour – "Music, Money and Hip-Hop Honeys" – exploring the job that is 'The Music Video Girl' – I was intrigued.
Music videos are a subject that I often bring attention to. It is impossible to turn on the latest music channel without being bombarded with a series of greased up women jiggling their bits around in front of the camera. Of course, we can't forget the men parading around them with the,'Yes, these are my bitches,' attitude. Unfortunately, apart from pop …

The prospect of State and Federal elections over the next six months is an opportunity for East Gippslanders to demand their fair share of government funding for important local projects.
The important debates about health, education, aged care and transport infrastructure will naturally dominate the discussion but one area I would like to see focussed on is the level of funding for facilities on public land.
Over the past 15 years I've been involved in tourism marketing and promotion in our region and I have continually pushed the case for more funding to upgrade infrastructure such as boat ramps, jetties, picnic areas, walking trails and community playgrounds.
We are blessed to live in a region with extraordinary natural attractions but the infrastructure provided for visitors to enjoy the great outdoors is severely limited.
In many cases the basic equipment such as picnic tables and walking trails are run down to the extent that they are unusable.
Over the past decade we have seen major cuts to some of our traditional industries like timber harvesting as a direct result of the Labor Government's decisions.
At the same time there has been a failure to invest in the infrastructure which would allow new jobs to be created in not only the construction and maintenance of facilities but also in the tourism industry.
For its part, the Federal Government has not taken an active interest in regional tourism and has focussed its attention on the major metropolitan markets.
There have been a few notable exceptions including the construction of boardwalks at Metung and Mallacoota which have become popular additions to town services, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
In Lakes Entrance the new Cunninghame Arm bridge received Federal Government funding under the successful Roads to Recovery program which was created by The Nationals as part of the previous Howard Government.
Quite recently, Parks Victoria has made some long overdue improvements to the Lake Tyers Forest Park and I believe there are many more opportunities to improve facilities possibly in partnership with community groups and work for the dole style programs.
The East Gippsland Rail Trail which ventures across 100 kilometres into the far east is also one of our region's greatest assets.
The challenge for the future is for all levels of government to help build the facilities that will make it more attractive for the travelling public to stop and enjoy everything our region has to offer.
The benefits for the tourism industry are obvious but maintaining and improving an already magnificent environment also provides significant socio-economic benefits for local families and further cements East Gippsland's reputation as a great place to live.

The first hour i was just in shock, i put the gun down and stood there as if to say `i messed up im sorry, take me`, but the other entities were gone, including the craft. It took me a full 30 minutes to bury the grey as my hands were trembling. I know i had a right to protect myself, but i am worried of what may happen now, should i ring the police?

Original Message
Good afternoon, evening wherever you are in the country.
I am trembling right now, and writing this with great fear in my eyes.
I am an abductee, i have been all my life.
I do not consider myself to be the chosen one or special or anything like that, millions of people around the world are abducted both consciously and subconsicously, some of you may be abductees and may not even know of it.
In recent years my abductions went from blurry memory, to out of body experiences, to real physical contact, being led by several greys onto a large craft which had different species of non human intelligence on it.
Recently it has been ruining my life, i am 73 years old, and want to live out the remainder of my life without this stress as it has all but taken most of my life, and made it hard to live like a regular woman.
My friend suggested setting up cctv camera footage in the house which i did, but the ets would simply cause so much distortion that nothing would show up.
Eventually i decided to get myself a shotgun, and wait for the next abduction.
About an hour ago, they came for me, four of them
The smallest one (about 5 foot) was at the front and the closest to me.
I pulled out my shotgun, i screamed `dont come nearer ill fire`, but it carried on coming towards me, i suddenly felt myself start to fall into the usual trance, hypnotic like state which you are in when they want to control you, and i could hear in my head it telling me to put me down, if i had given it a fraction of a second more, i would have completly been under its control.
Anyway, as soon as i felt the trance like state start to come on, i didnt give it more than a second thought, i still, whilst i had the energy in my fingers, pulled the trigger, and blasted the grey in the face. It fell down, and stood up again, and looked at me with a sad look in its face, i panicked and shot it again, this time it didnt get up!
I looked around me, and excpected the other four murder me, literally murder me.. but they were gone, and so was the craft.
I put the gun down, and sat in the garden for an hour, and they didnt come back.
I buried the grey in my garden underneath the oak tree, and i am scared for my life what to do now.
I took about 2 minutes cellphone footage of it too, which is far too graphic i am afraid to upload here.
I didnt mean to kill it, but these entities are ruining my life. I also do not understand why the others would dissapear surely they werent all scared of me.
It doesnt help that i am selling up my house in a few months as i will be moving into the countryside, how is it going to look if they find a body under the oak tree!!
Please can anyone who is an abductee help, and advise me what to do.

Anxiety is a general feeling of being worried. Everyone experiences anxiety once in a while. People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), however, feel anxious often or feel very anxious, not necessarily because of a situation. For them, anxiety interferes with their daily lives.
Symptoms of anxiety may include:
Many things can cause anxiety -- for example, some medications may cause you to be anxious, or a medical condition may trigger feelings of anxiety. Scientists aren't sure what causes GAD, although they think that certain chemicals in the brain -- called neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine -- may be involved. Genes, your environment, and your life situation may also contribute to GAD.
Your doctor or mental health provider will talk to you about when you feel anxious and what it feels like. Your health care provider will take your medical history, give you a physical examination, and may take blood or urine samples for laboratory tests. Sometimes, you will have an electrocardiogram (EKG) to rule out heart problems. You may be asked to fill out a psychological questionnaire.
To be diagnosed with GAD, a person must meet the following criteria:
Treatment for anxiety depends on what's causing it. If you have an underlying physical condition, your doctor will treat it. If your anxiety has no physical cause, your doctor may recommend counseling to help you learn coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.
A 2007 review of studies that used cognitive behavioral therapy to treat anxiety found that it worked for GAD. In cognitive behavioral therapy, you learn to modify or replace anxious thoughts with healthy ones.
Your doctor may also suggest trying relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing. Sometimes, your doctor may prescribe medications to help until you have learned these techniques.
There are no over-the-counter therapies for treating anxiety.
Mind-body techniques, nutrition, exercise, and herbs may help reduce anxiety. Progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, biofeedback, meditation, and self-hypnosis can help you relax and reduce your anxiety.
Several studies suggest that exercise works to reduce depression, and at least one 2007 study found that regular, intense exercise -- running or playing football, for example -- can also have a positive effect on anxiety. The benefits lasted up to 5 years.
Although there is no diet to relieve anxiety, eating healthy meals keeps your body well nourished and strong. Avoid caffeine because it can make you feel restless. Avoid alcohol and nicotine as well. Eat more fresh vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Keep your blood sugar steady by eating frequent small meals that contain protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, take herbs only under the supervision of a health care provider.
If you already take medication for anxiety, ask your doctor before taking any herbs. Some of the herbs used to treat anxiety can interact with anxiety medications.
Essential oils of lemon balm, bergamot, and jasmine are calming, and you can use them as aromatherapy. Place several drops in a warm bath or atomizer, or on a cotton ball.
Although few studies have examined the effectiveness of specific homeopathic therapies, professional homeopaths may consider the following remedies for the treatment of anxiety based on their knowledge and experience. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type -- your physical, emotional, and psychological makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors when determining the most appropriate treatment for each individual.
Some evidence shows that acupuncture may help reduce symptoms of anxiety, especially when combined with behavioral therapies including psychotherapy. One study showed that benefits lasted as long as one year after treatment.
Acupuncturists treat people with anxiety based on an individualized assessment of the excesses and deficiencies of qi located in various meridians. With anxiety, a qi deficiency is often detected in the kidney or spleen meridians. In addition to performing needling techniques, acupuncturists may also use lifestyle and breathing techniques as well as herbal and dietary therapy.
Therapeutic massage can help reduce anxiety and stress.
Follow your health care provider's instructions, and practice relaxation techniques as needed.
Be sure to tell your health care provider if you are pregnant. Call your provider if you experience any significant side effects from prescribed medications.
Avoid kava kava, valerian, and St. John's wort if you are pregnant or nursing.

How Texas A&M and Tulane Met in the 1940 Sugar Bowl
The original purpose of the Sugar Bowl from the businessman's standpoint was to fill hotel rooms and restaurants and to stimulate commerce during a traditionally slack period. It was clear after five years that the concept was sound. Texas Christian-Carnegie Tech drew a crowd that spent more money during the four-day period leading up to the game than any group had at any other event or convention in New Orleans for the year, including Mardi Gras.
Mike O'Leary, manager of the St. Charles Hotel, said, "It came in the slump between Christmas and New Year's when ever hotel in the country has a slump...It was just as though Santa Claus filled our stocking with the biggest crowd we've ever seen." Ray Alciatore, proprietor of the world-famous Antoine's restaurant, said his business had prepared 6,012 orders of Oysters Rockefeller in three days. "That's as many as we serve in an ordinary month," Alciatore exclaimed.
As usual, it was Fred Digby who saw beyond the contentment of the present to a cornucopia of the future. After the game, in a column on the front page of the Item, Digby sought to enlarge Tulane Stadium to 60,000. He suggested the issuance of debenture bonds to cover the $200,000 project.
Favorable reaction came from far and near, including an endorsement from former World War I flying ace Colonel Eddie Rickenbacker, then president of Eastern Airlines. Louisiana Governor Richard Leche wrote Digby an eight-page letter and promised that the state would take $5,000 of the issuance. Mike O'Leary spoke for many when he declared, "Let us strike while the iron is hot."
After weeks of studying sketches, the Sugar Bowl membership, with Tulane's approval, decided to build the capacity to 70,000 seats backed by $550,000 in debentures, which were to be paid off at the rate of $25,000 a year.
Each purchaser of a $100 bond would be given the option of buying two choice Sugar Bowl tickets prior to public distribution, and two percent interest would be paid after five years. It doesn't sound like much now, but 40 days after the drive began on March 7, the goal was reached.
The contract was awarded to Doullut & Ewing, Inc., and the firm itself purchased $40,000 in debentures to guard against any contingency that could possibly arise. "We'll have that stadium ready for January 1, 1940," said Jim Ewing to the Sugar Bowl when the company got the contract. "It will be a close fit, but we won't let you down."
The fit was even closer than Ewing thought. Originally, it was thought the enlargement would be of concrete, but the cost would have exceeded the $550,000. So the addition to the bowl and the double-decking of the side stands would be made of steel. The war in Europe threatened to skyrocket expenses in steel, and it became mandatory that the steel needed for the stadium be obtained without delay. This could be done only with a cash outlay above the partial payment already made. It was June when the first piling was driven. Working constantly, except on Saturdays when Tulane played home games, using steel from the Virginia Bridge Company of Birmingham, the contractors Doullut and Ewing met the deadline between the end of Tulane's season and prior to January 1, 1940. Tulane Stadium was now a complete bowl and the largest stadium in the South.
The only problem with expanding a stadium is the filling of it after it is completed. In 1940, the Sugar Bowl was lucky. A three-way tie between Tennessee (undefeated, untied, and unscored upon), Georgia Tech, and Tulane put the Sugar Bowl in fine position.
Texas A&M, the Southwest Conference's second consecutive national champion, was the prime choice for the visitor's berth. Heavyweight competition from the Cotton Bowl was a hurdle which stood in the way of the immediate signing of the Aggies after the regular season.
A&M Coach Homer Norton had an invitation to New Orleans tucked in his pocket right after his final regular season game. Dallas businessman had put together a package of $170,000, to be split by both teams, as an inducement to A&M for a game with second-ranked Tennessee.
A&M's acceptance was contingent upon Tennessee's appearance. The Volunteers had the inside track on the Rose Bowl but did not want to say anything formally until their last game with Auburn a week later. So Norton let his players vote, and they chose New Orleans. On December 5 it was announced that A&M would meet fifth-ranked Tulane in the Sugar Bowl. It was the first Sugar Bowl pairing of two undefeated teams. Tennessee spent its holidays in Pasadena.
Getting Texas A&M, as it turned out, was easier than getting Tulane. Just as in 1935, the Greenies were hesitant about playing what amounted to one more home game. Halfback Fred Cassibry told New Orleans States sportswriter George Sweeney years after, "(Coach) Red (Dawson) worked us to death during the season. He was a hard taskmaster, but a fair one. He was the type of guy who felt you were at Tulane on scholarship, so you should play your best at all times or he would take that scholarship away. And that meant 100 percent at practice. Some guys just didn't feel like going through three more weeks of practice.
"We wanted some assurance that if we played, we would get something out of it ($150 a man was what the team wanted, Cassibry said later). No one could give us an answer, so we sent word that we didn't want to play in the game. Dr (Rufus) Harris (Tulane's president) and the coaching staff said that we would always regret it if we turned the invitation down. They would have been right."
The Sugar Bowl was billed as a David (Tulane) and Goliath (A&M) match. Although Tulane was a bigger team physically, the Wave had six tackles ranging from 215 to 240 pounds and standing between 6-foot-3 and 6-foot-5. What brought on the David and Goliath comparison were the measurement of the featured runners-Tulane's 160-pound scatback Bobby Kellogg and A&M's 210-pound fullback John Kimbrough, who had played 60 minutes in every Texas A&M game.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

9/11/12: On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, everything was fine in our house. We were doing the usual school morning routine: making oatmeal or scrambled eggs for the kids, then 5 and 11, pouring glasses of orange juice, watching "Rugrats" on Nickelodeon, making lunches, getting Hannah's clothes ready.
At the same time on another coast, jets were crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Here at home, though, "Rugrats" was on, the eggs were perfect and God was in his heaven.
We had an easy day planned. Take the kids off to school, write a column, go home, have a cocktail with the wife, hit the hay.
It was a Tuesday, which is record-release day, and Bob Dylan's new album, "Love and Theft," was coming out to rave advance reviews. We planned to buy it, listen to it, maybe write something about it.
Our daughter knocked on the bathroom door just as we got out of the shower. "It's Mom."
Mom wasn't making any sense. She clearly had something to tell us, but here news was coming over the phone in a white-noise hiss and we could just pick out certain bits as our wife was speaking faster than the speed of facts.
Plane crashed into World Trade Center ...another plane crashed into World ... Terrorist.... Everything grounded ... Should the kids go to school?
Our first thought was, no, of course the kids shouldn't go to school. And we shouldn't go to work. We should all stay safe in our bunker/house eating frozen waffles and playing UNO and watching "Doug" or whatever comes on after "Rugrats" on the news-free Nickelodeon.
But already politicians were on the air urging us to bow our backs and get on with the business of being Americans, who are unique in their ability to bounce back from terrorism and disaster. It's amazing how rapidly platitudes emerge from ruins.
So we took the kids to school, otherwise the terrorists have won, then we went to the store and bought the new Dylan, otherwise the terrorists have won, and we drove to work, passing the spookily quiet airport where nothing was moving at all and we thought what we always think when disasters happen: "Well, there goes our day."
It's a selfish attitude and only our own indomitable courage allows us to confess it here. A certain amount of it comes with working in this business. We can be bounced off our chair in a 6.9 earthquake, and even before we get to the inevitable urge to run out screaming into the street, tossing intervening humans (children and old ladies, typically) out of our way, we think: "Great. A strong quake. Probably tearing up half the Southland. How many mammoth earthquakes have we had to write about? Why do bad things always happen to us?"
OK, now that we've got our unseemly narcissism out of the way, only after we wrote that day's piece (about the networks' coverage and the sudden dilution of all the synonyms for "horrific" and "tragedy") did the impact of the horrific tragedy wash over us.
We stood out in the front yard on the night of Sept. 11 with our son looking at the stars, which were the only bodies twinkling in the sky. No plane flew.
Good God, is this the way things are going to be from now on?
A few minutes later, things changed in the prehistorically quiet sky as a flock of fighter planes (F-15s? F-16? we don't know. We're not an airplane driver) screamed over our house.
That illustrated our own feelings of the day or introspection and more than a little alarm and worry about the future. You recall your own feelings: Most people had the same emotion, a complicated and explosive mixture of abject sorrow, gnawing fear, simmering revenge.
Today isn't one of those key anniversaries of the day that the nation will be especially commemorating on anniversaries ending in a 5 or 0. But, guess what? Dylan has a new album, "Tempest," that releases today to reviews calling it his best work in decades, so there's that.
We're hoping for a good day today. Hannah goes off to Millikan. She's now, tragically, in her senior year (why do bad things always happen to us?) and our boy Ray will go off to his job at Long Beach Airport, where, ideally, airplanes will be coming and going all day long, like they have always been doing except for that time 11 years ago.
And we'll go out and buy the new Dylan and then go in to work and write about something that we hope we don't remember in 11 years.

GSA Awards Trusted Internet Connection Contract Modifications
April 7, 2009
Contact: Robert Lesino, 202 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration awarded two managed trusted Internet protocol service (MTIPS) Networx contract modifications effective April 3.
Sprint Solutions Inc. received an award as a contract modification on the Networx enterprise, the second MTIPS award under this acquisition.
Qwest Government Services received an award as a contract modification on the Networx enterprise acquisition, in addition to its previous Networx universal award in February. This is the third MTIPS award under the Networx enterprise acquisition.
A total of five managed trusted Internet protocol service awards have been made for the Networx program.
GSA developed MTIPS for the Networx program to allow agencies to physically and logically connect to the Internet in full compliance with the Office of Management and Budget's trusted Internet connections initiative (M-08-05). MTIPS facilitates the reduction of Internet connections in government networks and provides standard security services to all government users.
The managed trusted Internet protocol service under the Networx program will include an Einstein Enclave (a computer network intrusion detection system) and the following components:
Security operations center for agency protection
Transport from the agencywide area network to the trusted Internet connections portal
Redundant internet access service
Supply chain risk management requirements
Optional features to allow for agency unique requirements
GSA will continue to evaluate managed trusted Internet protocol service proposals from other Networx universal and enterprise contractors and make more awards as soon as possible this year.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA manages the federal relay contract which provides nationwide telecommunications relay service for the hearing and/or speech impaired?

"Twenty-five years of Through Each Others Eyes™: a Cultural Retrospective," a 70-print photo exhibit featuring images from local and international photographers who have participated in photo exchanges, will be on display May 1 to June 19 at the Shemer Art Center in Northeast Phoenix. The exhibit is free of charge. Through Each Others Eyes (TEOE) is a non-profit organization that utilizes the power of photography to help Valley residents and people around the world understand and appreciate cultures different from their own.
The Shemer Art Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It is located at 5005 E. Camelback Rd., Phoenix, Ariz., 85018.
Started in 1988 as a one-time photo exchange exhibit between professional photographers in Phoenix and its sister city in Himeji, Japan, TEOE has since sponsored 38 international photographic exchange exhibitions viewed by more than 2 million people worldwide. The "Twenty-five years of Through Each Others Eyes" exhibit showcases photography from exchanges with Japan, Mexico, China, Scotland, Ireland, Cuba, Canada, the Czech Republic, Italy and the Philippines.
TEOE develops exchanges with photographers in other countries for the purpose of documenting photographically an unfamiliar culture from the viewpoint of an outsider. The photographers spend time in the host city, documenting through photographs, people and their daily lives: their work, relationships with each other, festivals and celebrations, and simple scenes of their daily activities. Once home, the photographers stage a free professional photo exhibit so their local community can learn about and appreciate another culture. The exhibit then moves to the exchange country.
In addition to photo exhibits, TEOE sponsors and spearheads photo activities for young people, such as Kids-in-Focus. The organization works with at-risk and homeless children from Children First Academy. The youngsters are given cameras and are mentored by TEOE photographers who help them photograph their surroundings. TEOE has also completed projects with students at Central High School and Lowell Elementary School, and mounted an educational exhibit on Japan in the Casa Grande public library. In addition, for the past 15 years TEOE photographers have provided free individual and class photos of homeless and at-risk students.
"Our mission is to encourage people around the world to understand and appreciate diverse cultures through photography," said Errol Zimmerman, a co-founder who recently stepped down from the board after serving as the organization's president for 25 years. He and photographer Peter Ensenberger were the first two Phoenix photographers in the project. For more information, visit www.teoe.org.

I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.
Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us - if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another...but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio - and failed.
I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.
And I'm ready to fight.
Also included is a sneak listen to the first chapter of the next book in the series. Enjoy!

"Saving the World by Numbers is My New Obsession."
There's nothing notable about John Smith being on the run. His life has been a nomadic blur of alternate names, new locations, and anonymity. What's new is the infamy. John is not just on the lam, he's now a notorious fugitive and he's not alone.
Picking up where Four left off, John and his friends are just trying to recuperate. But the world outside their seedy motel room is exploding with John mania. The media is being flooded with updates and revelations of John and Henri's seemingly criminal activities. Four's face is saturating the airways and internet. Too bad he didn't get that invisibility legacy.
She has been monitoring the news religiously. The events unfolding around a one John Smith is hard not to notice and has fueled her flame of curiosity all the way from the small Spanish town, where living the quiet life of devotion in her convent run orphanage has become the norm. It's been a long time since she felt the thrill of covert activities, moving from city to city, traveling from one european country to the next, and picking a new name to match her fleeing fancy. The last one she chose was Marina. She is number Seven.
John, Sam, and Six are trying to lay low and continue their training while deciding what their next move is, but that's kind of hard when you're driving a stolen truck with borrowed plates, every law enforcement agency is looking for you and only the blind have no idea what you look like. Of course traveling to the most unlikely and dangerous places possible doesn't help, neither are the close encounters with the Mogadorians who are tracking them a little too easily.
Marina is miserable. But the news on John Smith gives her hope. The chaos involving Smith causes Marina to believe he's Lorien like her and could be a sign of the Garde's emergence out of hiding. Unfortunately regardless of her developing legacies her education and training have been neglected. Marina's cepan Adelina has lost the will to do her duty, instead devoting her self to the church and dismissing any talk of Lorien. Marina knows that the safety of the Spain is on the brink and if Adelina won't see that then she'll leave on her own. But Adelina has hidden her chest and Marina can't leave it behind.
Skipping town is about to get harder. A mysterious man has been watching Marina, she's been a little careless and is starting to draw attention to her abilities. Marina's location is about to be compromised.
John is trying to deal. With the loss of his cepan Henri, having to leave behind his girlfriend Sarah, and his increasingly confusing feelings for Six, life is difficult enough without the bloodthirsty aliens constantly trying to kill him. But John and company are starting to learn the coincidences that brought them together may not be so random. Henri moved John to Ohio for a reason and Sam's missing father is a huge part of it. To discover what's going on they'll journey back home where everything began. As they get there it's looking less and less like Paradise.
Turmoil is on the horizon in Spain and Six feels the need for help emanating from the region. The glyphs of One, Two, and Three have been burned into a mountainside there as a beacon to Garde and Mogs alike, but John see it as an opportunity to sneak into the Mogadorians headquarters.
Can Four and Six divide and conquer?
Pittacus Lore's chronicles of the Lorien Legacies is extremely entertaining. Very addictive. The Power of Six is what I would call a bridge book. It's more about building the characters, strengthening the world, and establishing the threads for the larger storyline. Normally these in-between books, without a prominent individual plot of it's own, aren't usually as good as the rest in a series. But The Power of Six is the exception. There were a lot of mini threads cycling throughout the book keeping the story from becoming stagnant. The multi POVs also helped to thoroughly introduce us to Seven while maintaining our connection to John, Sam, and Six. The ever complicating relationships are balanced well with backstories, and lots of action. We meet some other interesting personalities like Nine, who stole the show since his first scene. I have the audiobook narrated by Neil Kaplan and Marisol Ramiez. They did a great job performing the voices, and I love that they have Ramiez doing Marina's POVs.
The Power of Six is just as engrossing as Four. Absolutely enthralling. I can't wait to meet five and eight! Some will live. Some die. Others will be lost. The war has just begun. Saving the world by numbers is my new obsession.
"Better than the first"
Had about three different stories going on, written very well, can't wait for the next one.
Quality Consumer
"Great listen!"
I enjoyed this book while driving. It kept me interested for the full 10 hours and was easy enough to keep up with the story - and Exciting enough to stay awake for a 10 hour drive!
"The Series Finally Gets Enjoyable"
This book really gets the Lorien Legacies Series going. This is an awesome book, and I finally felt like the story was going somewhere. This book is about a couple of kids, some alien some human, who are on the run from law enforcement and other aliens. At the same time they are trying to find the remaining Lorien kids that were sent to earth. There is a lot of character development and dialogue along with great battle scenes.
Blood and Gore:
The aliens turn to dust when they are killed so there isn't much blood. There are a lot of intense battle scene, where many people are killed.
A couple swear words a chapter, very minimal.
It was definitely worth trudging through the first book to get to this one. I look forward to reading the third one when it come out. Recommended for 12 and up.
Travel a lot for work and spend a good deal of time in the car.
"Can't wait for the Third Book"
Kick Ass Aliens
Berni Kosar of course. who wouldnt want a shapeshifting moag munchin Beagle of doom.
This story it only getting better as it goes on. If you have read i am number four or even just seen the movie, you must listen to this book. Its even better then the first and i cant wait for the next part.
"Absolutely Amazing Series"
Loved every minute I was completly enthralled with the story! I can not wait to get the next one and continue the series!
I'm a librarian, knitter, crochetter... I love audiobooks because I can knit and "read" at the same time.
"It's a shame the narrator is so bad..."
I really liked this book, even better than the first one, but... The narrator espoils the experience.
The editors have to pay more attention in this detail, because we pay for what? Ten, twelve, sometimes even forty hours of listening and if the narrator is boring, irritating or whatever else, the experience of hearing the audiobook is totally lost.
I really hope the next book - that I'm really anxious for - has a different narrator.
"Disappointed in This One"
I have seen the ratings on this book and it looks like I am in the minority of readers, thinking this book lacked excitement. I enjoyed "I Am Number Four" and looked forward to this book. I knew the first book was slow to start so I expected this book to be the same but it didn't seem to catch my interest until the last hour and then I thought the ending was abrupt (and of course, a big cliff-hanger until the next book). Even though I am an adult, I have enjoyed teen books before but I will definitely think twice about purchasing the next book in this series.
"love it..couldn't put it down!"
loved it, kept me on my toes and wanting more, will definitely have to get the next in the set!!
"can't get enough"
loved it & never wanted it to end
never a dull moment & you can picture yourself there amongst everything

Wash. Times Attacks Michelle Obama As "America's First Nanny"
In a November 1 editorial [1] titled, "Americans groan: Michelle Obama's new book demonstrates her appetite for green," The Washington Times attacked the first lady, calling her "America's First Nanny" who "admits she can't stay away from French fries herself," yet "that doesn't stop her from lecturing everyone else on what to eat." From the Times:
Liberals love to tell other people what to do. America's First Nanny, Michelle Obama, is no exception. Though she admits she can't stay away from French fries herself, that doesn't stop her from lecturing everyone else on what to eat. Now she wants us to spend our money to buy her new book on tips from the White House garden.
"American Grown: How the White House Kitchen Garden Inspires Families, Schools and Communities," is scheduled to hit the bookshelves April 10, just in time for spring planting - and the 2012 campaign season.
Mrs. Obama, the de-facto national food czar, is backing the effort to redesign the traditional food pyramid. With the help of $2 million from the Department of Agriculture, she converted the pyramid into a food circle. Dubbed "My Plate," the revamped bureaucratic diet regime is supposed to help the hungry eater select correct portions of the various food groups by arranging them as they would appear on a plate just before digging in.
The first lady does lead by example with her crusade for exercise called "Let's Move!" Hitting the road, she visited Chicago on Oct. 25 to warn residents of the dangers of dessert and attend a fundraiser for the Obama Victory Fund. Supporters were offered the opportunity to have their photos taken with Michelle for $10,000.
As Mrs. Obama barnstorms the country for her husband's re-election in the coming year, taxpayers have found her weakness for pricey vacations, costing them $10 million in 2010 alone, a little hard to swallow. While Michelle puts the finishing touches on "American Grown," Americans groan. Meanwhile, the Census Bureau reports 46.2 million Americans are living below the poverty line - the most in 52 years.

text: The Knuckles wiki last edited by TheMasterDS on 03/04/15 03:46PM View full history OverviewKnuckles is ready for takeoff in the Ski Jumping event. Knuckles was first introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on February 2 1994. Knuckles has since appeared in several Sega games, his most prominent game being Knuckles' Chaotix. Knuckles is tasked with protecting the powerful Master Emerald and the 7 Super Emeralds that keep his home, Angel Island, afloat. He is the last survivor of his clan, and has had little contact with anyone else but the animals that reside there. He is friendly but also quite naive and is quick to anger, a trait that Dr Eggman exploited to play Sonic against Knuckles while he stole the Master Emerald. They become good friends after this misunderstanding is resolved.AbilitiesKnuckles.Knuckles has essentially the same abilities as other playable characters in Sonic games, but with a few unique abilities. Like other characters, he can run and, depending on which game you are playing, spin dash.Hyper Knuckles as seen in Nazo Unleashed.In later games, he has the ability to punch (and even combo) his enemies to defeat them. It is implied in early games that Knuckles has an intrinsic bond with the Master Emerald, and this is confirmed in Sonic Adventure, where he is able to track down the Master Emerald shards easily. Knuckles can also dig, which can be used in some games to find rings, extra lives, and power ups. In Sonic Adventure 2, Knuckles gains the ability to breath underwater indefinitely by finding an upgrade. Perhaps his most well known and widely repeated ability is his glide: by double jumping in nearly every game where he is playable Knuckles will perform a glide, gently falling until he hits the ground or a wall. He has the ability to climb up walls he latches onto with his glide.Like Sonic, he is able to transform into a Super version that grants him increased speed and invulnerability if he collects all 7 Chaos Emeralds. Recovering the 7 Super Emeralds unlocks his Hyper Knuckles form, in which he is impervious to all damage except bottomless pits or getting crushed. He is also able to cause tremors that destroy all on-screen enemies when he latches onto a wall in this form.Comic Series Issue #8 CoverFrom 1997 to 1999, Knuckles starred in his own ongoing comic book series fro m Archie Comics. The series, a spin-off of Archie's "Sonic the Hedgehog" series, ran for 32 issues. The series followed Knuckles and his friends The Chaotix as they protect Angel Island (then just called "The Floating Island") and unraveled it's many mysteries. It featured many concepts original to the series, adding many new concepts to Knuckles expanded universe. Many of these concepts, like the "Dark Legion", a villainous group of echidnas banished to a prison-like "Twilight Zone", were seemingly used as inspiration for Bioware's Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. The series was written by veteran Sonic comic writer Ken Penders, and drawn for most of the first 25 issues by artist Manny Galan.TriviaAccording to the Sonic comic series, Knuckles can play the guitar.Judging by Sonic Adventure 2's soundtrack Knuckles is an accomplished rapper whose claim to fame is rapping about the places he visits during his adventures (such as Pumpkin Hill and Meteor Herd) and the burdens of being the protector of the emeralds.Knuckles' first appearance was in Sonic 3, but he wasn't made playable until Sonic and Knuckles. After it was released, Sega revealed that by inserting Sonic the Hedgehog 3 into Sonic and Knuckles, the player could unlock the ability to play as Knuckles, which was the only way certain areas could be reached.There are varying reports of Knuckles' lineage, but it is generally agreed upon that the echindas were an ancient clan sworn to protect the Master Emerald, and Knuckles is a descendant of that clan. It is rumored that Tikal, from Sonic Adventure, may be of some relation to Knuckles.

MLK Assassination Pictures
Mad Men Flashback: The Reaction to MLK's Assassination
April 4, 1968, was a tragic day in America, as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis. TN. On this week's episode of Mad Men, we witness the historical event from the perspective of the mostly white upper-class employees of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. On the show, Pete Campbell is surprisingly genuinely distraught by the death and Joan awkwardly tries to comfort Don's black secretary, Dawn. Although Dawn is clearly rattled, she says she'd rather be in the office than at home when her co-workers encourage her to take the day off. As for Don, he worries mostly about his mistress who was in DC for the weekend. In the episode we also experience the unrest in NYC through Don's eyes as he nervously drives his kids through the streets with sirens blaring.
While many of the Mad Men characters express sometimes tone-deaf sadness and worry over race riots, in real-life 1968, civil rights leaders were attempting to maintain MLK's message of nonviolence in the aftermath. April 7 was declared a day of national mourning by President Johnson, and on April 8, King's wife attended the March on Memphis, which King had planned on attending. On April 9, hundreds of thousands came out for the funeral in Atlanta, GA, where Dr. King "eulogized" himself, as his "Drum Major" sermon, which he had given on Feb. 4, 1968, was played. In it, he directly addressed his own death and funeral. Take a look at photos from the days following MLK's assassination now.

Taye Collective Artist Program
Kind of fun -- I'm featured (for now anyway) on Taye Drums new "Taye Collective Artist Program." It's not an endorsement, but rather a way for Taye to feature everyday players who use their instruments. I play a Taye GoKit for jazz gigs, rehearsals and quick jobs. It really is a terrific instrument: half-depth shells, birch/basswood construction for enhanced tone and low-end, easy in-and-out with the whole kit fitting in three manageable gigbags. It looks to some like a toy, but it really sounds amazingly full. In fact, I've even recorded with it. Check out excerpts from "Claudette."

Our man Harry Williams caught up with Max Nunes following his recent win over Marcin Lazarz at BAMMA 12.
The modest Swede says he's not sure if the major promotions are interested depsite his 10-0 slate, and he's just concentrating on getting the BAMMA title:
"I dont know if I have [big promotions interested], really," admitted Max. "To be honest, it isnt something I think about. I have a great team of coaches and management who worry about things like that. For now, Im with BAMMA, so they have all my attention."

Help a Customer, Make a SellSubmitted by manyeshab on Tue, 01/31/2012 - 16:28
Main image:
My interaction—or lack thereof—with customer-service associates in any store I plan to shop always impacts my final sale. If I'm in need of assistance and have difficulty locating an associate, I generally leave the store with no intention of returning to it. If the staff proves itself unknowledgeable about products that I'm unfamiliar with, I don't make the purchase. If the staff is rude or negligent, I leave.

Belkin N1 ExpressCard works flawless for me in BT2 and BT3. However the range sucks!!! My D-link G-122 USB adapter gets better range then this card, but it's nice to have a working ExpressCard.
RogueAP I have not tested yet, as far as the aircrack suite, injection, deauth, all that works flawless for me.
HP dv6227cl (perfect)

hey guys iam new to this forum and iam specifically looking for an express card thats compatible with my dell inspiron 1505 with 1309 wlan card..which i am really disappointed with. it also sucks coz it does not have pcmcia slot.
this express card shud be able to work with bt2 and inject packets for wep cracking. I am a network engineer presenting a paper on wireless wep vulnerability. i need the card for purely demonstration purposes only.
please suggest a gud express card tht i can buy and help my demonstration work successfully
yep the dwl G122 works, but take care to wich version you use
better to use C1 rev, the rt73 based one . works out of box with aspj driver for rt73 min 1.1 version (bt3 has 2.0)
the belkin suxx , i got one and range is realy poor , and i didn't manage to crack open it in order to mod it .
if somebody have done such a mod , help me open it, i can do the rest my self, but it seams to be near sealed .......
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
But hasnt Belkin realesed more Express Card? Seems to take time for devolpers to make a good Express card that works, still can even crack my WEP with Ubiquiti SRX card, and it costed me aroung 99
OT: Anyone now a good swedish webshop that is selling G122 with the right version?
Reegards Jacob,
well a cheaper alternative is the wusb54gc(you can get it around 20 E , mostly everywhere), that works out of the box , and flawlessly, it's based on the same chipset as revC1 of g122 , the rt73 chipset.
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

one word HOT but i think you have to be under 30 coz otherwise its a little weird

I think I kind of agree with that. It looks more "rocker" than "creepy old man" on someone who's younger.
there's an age when u have long hair, and it just makes u look like a old arse hippie.
But i have a glorious mane so im happy.
When u have it, show it off!
Ain't nothin wrong with having long hair. The only reason mine isn't long is because someone thought i was girl... I didn't mind it though. Course after I got into 8th grade I decided to cut it. Now I keep it buzzed.
Liar by nature
I like guys with long hair but it has to be taken care of not all greasy and gross.
the problem i have with my long hair is that employers hate it! so I need to get a haircut soon so I have a decent shot at getting hired somewhere. I guess it was cool in high school but out in the real world its totally different I guess.
never tried to make it long
our school prescribes a 2x3 haircut
tigasing book report, dudurugin kita >:DD
I like guys with long hair, it shows strength. I don't think age is important either. Lokk at Dumbledore at Hogwarts! Long hair on older men signifies wisdom.

Why is Anime girls fitter than girls in real life?
Guys with long hair look awesome. Though in my school the boy got a hair cut, I was sad. He used to call himself a Hippie, and because he had long hair. But his hair was just so pretty, I wanted to touch it. He cut it before I got the chance. =_______________=
Watch Cruel City! An amazing drama! :)
I really like boys with long hair. But not too long, upon the shoulder is fine. (: But I think that to some boys it really suits the long hair. Well, the face is important, when you decide do you want a long hair, because it wont look good, if the boy is with very circle head or something like that. And when you have a long hair, you must take care really good for it. I dont know do the boys use something like a balsam for his hairs.

i agree...when your working at or trying to get a corporate job then you definitely shouldn't keep your hair long. I have really long hair but I work at a police precinct so they could care less. i'll cut mine after college though...
its a pain in the ass.
i hate it.
No offense, but they look kind of feminine; unless you're trying to pull of the Slash look.
