Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Ethnicity
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Ethnicity
Some satire from my back closet. Polished, dusted off, pictures hung. ~ T. (talk) 14:51, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Ok ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 07:13, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Frosty, thanks for this very thorough and useful review. I've mixed it up a little bit more in the sections you suggested, and will continue to make tweaks. Good to know that it's nearly there because I'd tweaked it about as much as I could without a second opinion. ~ T. (talk) 11:08, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
|Alright there is a great deal of good racial satire in this article, but I can't help but think varying your humor in this article would be a nice idea. Put simply it's all pretty much the same, poking fun at racial stereotypes. Mind you what content you have included is very funny and extremely well executed. I'll go through this is detail now.
Introduction - This is exactly the right length of an introduction for a topic like this, to make it ever better it's hilarious. Good racial based satire, combining a lot of fundamental stereotypes the reader knows of and therefore can relate to and find funny. This is critical for the articles success and you couldn't have done it any better. Whilst some might find is somewhat racist (and indeed your hole article), any intelligent person can figure its good satire, so I can't offer much advice to improve this.
Causes - The introduction to this section of blindingly stating the obvious is pretty well done. The wording also pretty sophisticated and evidently well though out. My main concern is that by this point the racial based satire, sarcasm, etc. Is starting to get a bit dull. Perhaps sourcing it from another source associated with ethnicity would be better, I notice you spoke of religious factors, I propose you try and actively use religious and other themes more in your article rather than such racial themes. None the less what you have is very funny and well done.
Symptoms - Alright this section is perfection. It's varied unlike the previous section. It's use of racial, religious, cutural and behavioral characteristics to create satire is a lot better in this section as it's more varied and less predictable than your previous section. I love this a lot!
Prognosis - I don't know about this section. I think perhaps a final conclusion of the effects of ethnicity would be better than what you currently have. Treating it like a disease isn't exactly the best idea in my opinion and I think a conclusion style paragraph would be a better alternative, but that's just my personal opinion.
To sum it all up, I think this is a genuinely funny article with good themes and ideas, what needs to happen is a better balance be struck with these themes.
|A brilliant concept accompanies this article. Good racial based satire, whilst keeping to essentially the definition of ethnicity without going too absurd, have produced an exceptional concept throughout your entire article. It also shows you are a highly capable writer with a good understanding of the subject matter.
But as I mentioned before its far too similar in its themes, which brought it down from a 10 out of 10, mind you it's the least of your worries.
|Prose and formatting:
|This article is very well formatted. Inter-wiki links are consistent and well used, the paragraphs are also well spaced out, are he right length etc. But my one problem is the the entire right hand side is images, like the entire column. Is that intentional and a good thing? Well I think perhaps it's not such a good idea but it's perhaps unavoidable and better than all the alternatives.
I think this is a well formatted article!
|A wide variety of images used to display the stereotypes of ethnicity and what they entail. The captions and images themselves are very funny and well suited to the subject matter. They are also of a high quality and resolution, something I sadly see a number of articles lack in. But as I mentioned before perhaps aligning them all on the right hand side isn't such a good idea. But aside from that, I love your choice of pictures.
|Overall rating of 10.
|Final Score:
|Very funny article. Lots of good themes that perhaps need balancing and the formatting needs a tad of alterations. From where I see this, this is a good article that needs a bit of tweaking to perfection. I'd also like to see this on VFH!
|~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!)

Should Property Investor Register Investment Property on Family Trust?
In Australia, people often come up with questions about buying investment property on family trust. We are here to clear this concept for once and all to everybody in Australia. Most of the people are nervous while making their first investment in buying property which is why they want to get hold of every technique in order to be on the safe side. Family trust is a good option or not, we will unveil it within today's editorial. Let us consider a case for further discussion. Think of yourself willing to purchase a property in Sydney with intention to sell it after living in it for few months by borrowing through family trust. The case covers major aspects of borrowing, registering with family trust, accommodating and selling for generating income.
Getting To Know The Basics
First of all, we would like to inform you that registering investment property on family trust is not a rare thing as many investors opt for this method. It comes with various pros and few cons. We are here to help you analyze both and make a decision for yourself. Let's get the basic understanding of what a trust is and how it works.
Trustee would be controlling and handling the property matters related to benefits received by the beneficiaries. Who is a beneficiary in the family trust? The beneficiaries in this trust are your family members. Trustee can be a person or the company owned by a person. Trustee has the right to make decisions regarding how the beneficiaries will be benefited from generated revenue.
Advantages of Using Family Trust for Registration of Investment Property
Tax Return Implications – Being a trustee you are entitled to handle major operations such as selecting individuals who receive rental income. How is this beneficial? You can get the income tax payables reduced by selecting the right person. In case one of your spouses isn't earning taxable income, he/she would be paying lesser tax on the income received with selling of property. The trustee cannot receive any tax benefits from trust operations if he/she does not agrees to distribute the generated income to spouse and other family members with lesser marginal tax rate. Visit ATO for more information.
Equity Protection – Family trust plays its role when it comes to protection of equity in the invested property against potential creditors. Exposing any personal liability will keep you better placed if any claim has been filed against you as a person. The benefits of family trust are huge if you use it in the right manner with appropriate guidance.
Accommodation in Invested Property – If you decide to stay in the investment property then the family trust would be renting the property to you. Offsetting expenses like interest against income from rent is another benefit of having family income. In case the property is purchased under your name, you wouldn't be able to make any expense claims for the purpose of deduction in tax payments till the time period when property has been leased to a tenant.
Capital Gains Tax and Online Tax Return– Registering the investment property under family trust will allow you to receive benefits of capital gains tax in accordance to small business concessions. It is the same process which is repeated if the property is registered under your name. In case the family trust holds property under its name for 12 months or more then it is entitled to receive benefit of 50% discount. It means the amount on which tax has to be paid becomes half of the actual.
Disadvantages of Registering Investment Property under Family Trust
Everything has pros and cons. Being a trustee and living in the property you won't be allowed to receive the claim of principal residence place for subtraction from capital gains tax refund. At the same time, you wouldn't be able to make any claims for grant of first home owners. The family trust doesn't allow the trustee to negatively gear the investment property for the purpose of offsetting interest amount from personal income.
Registering investment property under family trust is not the ideal option if you want to make the investment with inclusion of other people rather than family members. At the same time, you cannot bring in outside investors once the process has been started. If you wish to do this, unit trust is the ideal option for you.
It is the situation which will vary from person to person. Going for family trust may or may not suit your case. It is for you to decide after gaining complete understanding about the concept. Make sure to discuss the situation with professional financial adviser. By gaining the consultancy service from a professional, you would be able to have clear picture of your situation. Make a wise decision when investing in purchase of property. We hope today's editorial has benefited you in many ways.

Islamabad: The Taliban have vowed a nationwide campaign of terrorism targeting candidates and voters in Saturday's general election in Pakistan.
Suicide bombers have been dispatched to all four of the country's provinces, with the aim of killing as many people as possible and derailing the country's fragile democracy.
Correspondence between the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, and the group's spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, has been deliberately leaked to deter people from the polls.
''We don't accept the system of infidels which is called democracy,'' Mr Mehsud wrote in the letter dated May 1. ''I am sending a list of attacks and the modus operandi, along with a separate list of fedayeen [suicide bombers] … You take care of attacks in Punjab and Singh. I will take care of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan.''
A Taliban commander in the restive north-west of the country said suicide bombers had already been sent to cities across the country.
''The Taliban has dispatched several fedayeen to carry out attacks on the election across Pakistan,'' the commander said.
This election campaign has already been the most violent in Pakistan's 66-year history as an independent nation. Since campaigning began last month, the Taliban have killed 117 people in attacks on candidates and political rallies. The terrorist network has mainly targeted secular parties, in particular the ruling Pakistan People's Party and its coalition partners.
But in the last week of the campaign, parties previously allied to the Taliban, such as Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, have been subject to attacks too.
The youngest son of former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, Ali Haider Gilani, was kidnapped on Thursday afternoon by gunmen in Multan.
Ali Haider, himself a candidate, was abducted at gunpoint from a PPP rally in Multan.
Pakistan has said it will deploy more than 600,000 security personnel, including tens of thousands of soldiers, across 73,000 polling stations on election day. More than 86 million people are registered to vote, up to 40 million of them for the first time.
On the plains of the Punjab, where more than half the seats will be decided, the election is being fought down to the wire between Imran Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, led by Nawaz Sharif.
''God willing, I will vote, and I am very happy to say I will vote for the bat,'' said Mushtaq Ahmed, a barber in the village of Dhalloke. A cricket bat is the symbol for Mr Khan, the former national cricket captain.
''Others have had a chance in power. We need someone new to lead. Imran will improve the economy and the load-shedding [blackouts] and the education system.''
Others are convinced Mr Sharif will be victorious, a sentiment backed by opinion polls.
''Sharif is a good man, he will build infrastructure. He has experience,'' Mohammad Arshad, a shopkeeper, said of the two-time former prime minister and billionaire industrialist.
It appears almost certain no party will win enough seats to govern outright.

The young coach has set his sights on glory in every competition the Giuseppe Meazza side compete in in the 2012-13 campaign
No Italian club has won the Europa League since Parma came out victorious in 1999 when it was still the Uefa Cup, but the 36-year-old has insisted that the Nerazzurri will not take the competition lightly as they are aiming for as much silverware as possible.
"I think a club like Inter must have the goal of going far in all three of these competitions during the season. To play and try to win them all," the Inter boss stated at a press conference.
"But I also know that this can't happen if you don't use all the players in your squad the best you possibly can. I don't think there's a ranking of importance in these goals.
"We want to try to do well in all these competitions, at least now while it's still October."
The Giuseppe Meazza side are currently preparing for Thursday's Europea League match away against Neftchi Baku.

(CNSNews.com) - The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Wednesday confirmed the nomination of Utah Gov. Michael Leavitt to be administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Leavitt's nomination, approved by a vote of 16-2, now goes to the full Senate, where it will hit another snag. The two committee Democrats voting against Leavitt were Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut .
In a press release, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) urged opponents of President Bush's environmental policies to "stop playing political games with the nomination of this fine man.
"I'm hopeful that he will get the up-or-down vote he deserves," said Cornyn, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. "He is a highly qualified and experienced administrator, and will serve our nation and the environment well when the partisans end the obstruction and allow a vote in the full Senate."
According to Cornyn, four Senators are blocking Leavitt's nomination - "a pattern that has grown all too familiar in judicial confirmations," he said.
Wire reports named five Democrats as confirmation blockers, and they include Sens. Lieberman and Clinton, as well as Bob Graham of Florida, John Kerry of Massachusetts, and John Edwards of North Carolina. Four of those five announced plans to run for president in 2004, although Graham later dropped out of the race.

Hugh Martin
Composer, Performer, Writer, Lyricist, Arranger, Vocal Coach, Musical Supervisor, Musician
( b. Aug 11, 1914 Birmingham, Alabama, USA - d. Mar 11, 2011 Encinitas, California, USA ) Male
Hugh Martin studied music at Birmingham Southern College. He intended to be a classical musician until he discovered George Gershwin.
"'Rhapsody in Blue' changed my life," he recalled in a conversation with the singer and pianist Michael Feinstein in the liner notes for their 1995 album, "The Hugh Martin Songbook."
"It was Gershwin and Kern and Arlen," he said. Those three were my top-echelon people."
The three songs with which Martin is most identified all belonged to the score of the 1944 MGM musical "Meet Me in St. Louis." Although Mr. Martin shared songwriting credit with his longtime collaborator, Ralph Blane, who died in 1995, Mr. Martin insisted in his autobiography, "Hugh Martin: The Boy Next Door" (2010), that he had written all three songs by himself. Mr. Martin and Mr. Blane, who met as cast members in the 1937 Broadway revue Hooray for What? both wrote words and music, usually independently of each other,having agreed to share credit on everything.
Mr. Martin wrote the music and lyrics for five Broadway musicals: Best Foot Forward, Look Ma, I'm Dancin'! Make a Wish, High Spirits, and the 1989 stage version of Meet Me in St. Louis, for which he wrote new songs.

Quicklet on Jonah Lehrer's Imagine: How Creativity Works
What's in the book?
Quicklets: Your reading sidekick!
- Overview
- Author Biography
- Chapter Summaries and Commentary
- Glossary
- Sources and Further Reading
New York Times bestselling author Jonah Lehrer has produced another bestseller—this time focusing on the creative mind. His book, Imagine: How Creativity Works, was released on March 18, 2012. According to MarketWatch.com, by April 8 it was number one on the NYT bestseller list, following in the footsteps of Lehrer's prior books, How We Decide, and Proust Was a Neuroscientist.
Creativity is an attribute often desired more in theory than in fact. In practice it is often marginalized and discouraged in the harsh environment of the real world. In a time when the need for productivity and ingenuity are vitally needed, understanding how to foster creativity with understanding and intelligent application is vital. Teachers, businessmen, economists, scientists, and politicians observing the challenges facing the world and its nations understand the desperate need for creative, innovative thinkers. Individuals, yearning to live satisfying, productive lives, long for ways to ignite their own creative abilities.
Understanding of how human creativity functions and what supports creative ability has been a human goal for centuries. In our current time, modern research allows a better understanding than at any time in the past. Imagine offers insights into these discoveries, and hints as to how we can encourage creative growth, in small ways and large.
Imagine covers the neurological, psychological, and environmental factors currently believed to promote successful creative production. The book focuses on three primary areas of creative endeavor.
- Artistic creativity: music, writing, and film, among others.
- Scientific creativity: mainly mathematics, physics, neuroscience.
- Economic creativity: business creativity which pursues breakthroughs in ways that can be marked, and which develops creative methods of marketing salable products and services.
Where in the first chapter Lehrer's attention was given to the third stage—the AHA!, in this chapter he highlights the prior two stages: analytical thinking and frustration. His message is that this stage, is critical to art, and that it depends on the science he's described. Like the polishing stages of poetry he discusses with his Auden material, the development of the "I Love New York" slogan and logo depended on the dopamine feedback loop—the reward that would allow Milton Glaser to stick to his task, generating layer after layer of cognitive memory associations such that, when he saw the answer, he recognized it and could then perfect it.
The final scientist Lehrer covers in this chapter is Joe Forgas, of the University of New South Wales. Forgas has developed an experiment in memory retention, in which he tests the ability of customers to remember random tchotchkes set out near the cash register of a stationery store in Sydney, Australia. On gray, gloomy days Forgas played Verdi's Requiem in the background, hoping to exaggerate a natural depressive mood state. On sunny, bright days he played Gilbert and Sullivan music to help generate an upbeat, cheery mood. The findings were that people exposed to depressing music on a gray day remembered more tchotchkes than people exposed to bouncy, funny music on a sunny day.
Lehrer (among others) draws a suggestion, from this and from other research indicating that there's a correlation between depression and bipolar disease and artistic achievement, that depression, like stimulants, can help with creative projects. It has been recognized for some time that there is a relationship between the two, however Lehrer doesn't succeed in clarifying that relationship in a compelling way that escapes the problems of much of this chapter. His narrative makes it far too easy to ignore the fact that the great majority of people with depression or bipolar disease, like the majority of people with drug addictions, fail to become either creative or successful.
In many ways this chapter most clearly illustrates the problem with Imagine. In hinting at positive correlations and allying them with compelling dramatic anecdotal narratives that seem to support the hints, Lehrer makes it far too easy to perceive a happy-ending easy route to creativity and success. Even when discussing the old, familiar ratio of 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration cited by Thomas Alva Edison, Lehrer manages to give the impression that if we could just take advantage of the implied short-cuts, we could all somehow make that ratio work in our favor.

Cutting It Close
Dominic Farrenkopf, director of assisted living activities at Discover Care Center in Hamilton, is showing off his creative haircut this week around Hamilton.
Dominic, in his yearly fundraiser for Bitterroot Youth Homes, was "decorated" Saturday as kids from the Youth Home helped trim his beard and cut and color his hair, including the words "Youth Home" around the back of his head.
Dominic surpassed his fundraising goal, raising over $1,700 this year for summer activities for the Bitterroot Youth Home kids. He said there is a unique connection with the older residents of Discovery Care Center and the youth home…much like an extended family.
He visited KLYQ Radio during our Bitterroot Morning show and proudly displayed his "do."

The Witcher 2 - Preview @ IGN
IGN has written a very positive preview for this game. They talk about the much better choice and consequence, the enhanced game engine as well as the better flexible gameplay. As usual, an excerpt, telling about the choice and consequences:
Very excited for this. Just started playing the first one a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it. Yes it has problems. But the game absolutely nails the atmospherics, and especially the design and feel of actual medieval style architecture.
Yes, I know you can't be a female dwarf half-elf shadowdancer/paladin/sorcerer/swashbuckler/druid/ninja with a name full of apostrophes and a panther as a pet. But the Witcher is a very good RPG.
I hope they don't reuse the "back and forth… and, uh, back again" design technique from e.g. Act IV of the first game… which was (for me) brilliant anyway, so I have high hopes for the next one!

Competitive Effects of Vouchers
PIs: Paul Peterson, Harvard University; William Howell, University of Chicago
This project is examining the effects of vouchers and public school choice. Previous voucher analyses conducted at the school level found marginal gains associated with competition and choice. Most studies, however, cannot take into account student movement from one school to another, or changes in the demographic composition of cohorts within a school. Only student-level data allow for the recovery of more precise estimations. Fortunately, the Department of Education in Florida has recently provided NCSC researchers with student test score and demographic information for the school years 1998-99 through 2002-03. Also included in these data is a broad array of information about schools and districts. So researchers can, for the first time, use individual test score data to estimate programmatic effects of a statewide Florida voucher initiative as well as the school choice provisions of No Child Left Behind.
When dividing the way parents choose and use vouchers into two stages--initial application and subsequent take-up--some factors, like religious affiliation and religious service attendance, affect both stages. Others, like mother's education, affect only the application stage. Still others, like ethnicity, have opposite effects at the two stages. Compared to whites, minorities are more likely to apply for vouchers, but less likely to take them when given the opportunity. Continued data analyses are ongoing. Private schooling has been shown to be more beneficial for students from disadvantaged social and minority ethnic backgrounds than for advantaged white students. Because stronger extrinsic incentives are needed to motivate disadvantaged than advantaged students and families, it is for these students that private schooling has particularly positive educational impacts, despite the fewer fiscal resources available to private than public schools.

I know it might a little disappointing that there are only three images of the hunky and hairy stunner Fernando Glauter in this post, but I really wanted to share him on the blog with you guys. I didn't want you to miss out on this hunk just because there are only three pics of the stud!
This hunk is another one of those guys who really makes me think about what my ideal man would be. I know it's hard to make that kind of decision, especially for a guy like me who likes all kinds of guys from slim twinks to muscled bears and daddies, but I think Fernando Glauter would have to be on my list of guys I would love to meet one day!
This dude is intense, really hunky with his hot muscled physique and that bearded manly face of his.
But check out those "come to bed" eyes he has. Doesn't he look like he's daring you to come closer and make a move? He could probably bend me over and spank my ass without me being able to fight him off, but I wouldn't want to fight him off!
Why did I even get to spanking? There's plenty of other things I would love to do with this hunk! lol

Rufus is a simple utility which makes it easy to build bootable USB drives from ISO images.
Of course if you have an ISO image then you could simply burn this to a CD or DVD. This won't help you much if your target system doesn't have an optical drive, though. USB keys are also easier to carry around, less likely to be damaged, and faster, which may be important if you need to use the disc often.
Rufus doesn't require any installation, and is generally very straightforward to set up. It'll automatically detect your USB drive, for instance, so you may not have to select that. Getting started could be as simple as browsing to your ISO image and clicking the "Start" button: the program will then walk you through everything else it needs to know.
If you need more control, though, you're able to configure how the USB drive will be formatted (file system, cluster size and so on). There's now support for both UEFI and GPT boots. And the program even includes some advanced format options which may help your drive be recognised on older PCs, although normally these shouldn't be necessary.
And if this is a task you need to carry out often, then you'll be pleased to hear that Rufus is reasonably speedy. We created a bootable USB version of the Windows 8 Professional image, for instance, and found the program was around 25% faster than another popular boot drive creator, UNetbootin.
Version 2.15 (changelog):
- Fix non-listing of drives that are opened for write access by another process
- Report external processes that may be preventing disk access (in the log)
- Improve Windows To Go support for Windows 10 Creators Update
- Don't report an error on checkdisk failure
- Update GRUB 2.0 and Grub4DOS to latest
- Other fixes and improvements
Rufus is an easy-to-use and configurable tool which quickly creates bootable USB drives from ISO images.

Here's the thing... front camber is fixed. There is a pin in the shock tower/strut assembly that prevents any adjustment. Without weight in the car you will not see a "perfect" alignment on paper. One other factor that can contribute to camber settings up front is shock tower mushrooming. You can surf the forum and WIKI for info on these things... lots of discussion.
In my experience, that small amount of negative camber has less impact on tire wear than too much toe. Toe is more important to tire wear.
+1 but it does seem a little low at -0.5. Don't forget you avg the front left and right to get the total camber -0.8 + -0.5/2= -0.65 avg camber.
You can probably get more but will require the alignment shop to know what to do.
I finally found my specs after rummaging through my emails. Ran less camber in the rear and more in the front to allow for a more neutral rotation countering the staggered setups understeer. Important note: If you run that much negative camber up front, you will be wearing out the
faster on the inner edge; however not as fast as 6k miles like Smolck pointed out. Mine lasted about 20k miles.
Staggered set E46 ZHP- 225/40/18x8 Fronts, 255/35/18x8.5 Rears on PS2s all around.
-1.5 front camber
-1.1 rear camber
0" front total toe
1/8" rear total toe
Hope this helps

Our stay at the Adobe Rose Inn was very nice. The location was great, we enjoyed the people we met there and Jim and Marion are lovely. Marion's breakfasts were delicious and the inn is quite beautiful. For some reason the ratings would not let me do outstanding or I would have given service that vote. The inn is tops on my list for where to stay next year.

Gate Beginning to Stick
I have had a set of these biners for about 9 months now. I am careful with my gear. I keep my draws away from the dirty ground whenever possible and even so, a couple of the gates on the biners aren't quite sticking yet but are on the verge. They are beautiful and lite weight but I don't know if I'd buy them again for this reason.
Good for racking. Able to hold lead fall
I use straight gate Photons for gear racking. It's light and big enough to rack a full set of nuts.
Also I temporary replace bolt side binners of Black Diamond Oz QD with them for easy cleaning on sport routes (and return back BD Oz for trad). The last weekend I slipped off a face and took a pretty deep (about 10 feet) lead fall. An improvised hand made draw held it without any visible damage (anyway I retired the binner to be for-nuts-racking-only). Thus despite a "fragile" look and feel CAMP Photon is strong enough to hold lead fall.

Off Balance (edition 2012)
by Dominique Moceanu, Paul and Teri Williams, Paul and Teri Williams (Contributor)
Work details
Off Balance: A Memoir by Dominique Moceanu
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A very insightful look at Women's Gymnastics in the United States. It will certainly make me watch this summer olympic competition with a different perspective. Moceanu was only 14 when she won a gold medal back in 1996 in Atlanta and after reading her story it's amazing that she is such a well adjusted and self confident young woman today.
Interesting to see how the cultural divide influenced how the author was treated with her coaching versus that of her compatriots. Proof that success is not always what it's cracked up to be. Really wish I could help her reform the gymnastics world.
I happened to see that Dominique Moceanu had written a memoir, so I thought it would be something a little different to read. It starts with her discovery when she is in her 20s that she has a sister who was born without legs that was given up for adoption right after she was born. The book alternates between Dominique developing a relationship with her long lost sister and stories of her gymnastics career. She tells of her abusive father who pushed too hard, the emotional abuse inflicted on her by Bela and Marta Karolyi as she trained for the 1996 Olympics, her experiments with drugs and alcohol after her early stardom, the lawsuit she filed against her parents for basically stealing all the money she made, struggles with body image, etc.
The writing style was juvenile with a lot of italics and exclamation points, but it made it a quick read, and I honestly couldn't put it down.
Ms. Moceanu's book is a touching and fulfilling peek into the unberbelly of the gynmastics world.
This was a fun book and I really felt like I learned a lot about gymnastics and Dominique from this book. However, at times it seemed a little too "politically correct" about certain aspects of her life.
References to this work on external resources.

No descriptions found.
At fourteen, Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the 1996 U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastic team, the first and only American women's team to take gold at the Olympics. Her pixie-like appearance, passion for the sport, and ferocious competitive drive quickly earned her the status of media darling. But behind the fame, the flawless floor routines, and the million-dollar smile, her life was a series of challenges and hardships. From her stubborn father and long-suffering mother, to her notorious coach, Bela Karolyi, Off Balance reveals how each of the dominating characters contributed to her rise to the top. She shares the stories of competition, her years of hiding injuries and pain out of fear of retribution, and how she hit rock bottom after being publicly scorned by her father. But medals, murder plots, drugs, and daring escapes aside, the most unique aspect of her life is the family secret that Moceanu discovers, opening a new and unexpected chapter in her adult life.--From publisher description.… (more)

Update at 5:28 p.m. ET: Activision has confirmed via statement that PC game owners will indeed have access to the Elite platform, clarifying an earlier response through Twitter.
"The goal has always been to provide a PC offering for Elite," reads the Activision statement. "The timing for that free offering is still being determined."
Our original post
On the sales front, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is off to a good start. As for the accompanying online service Call of Duty Elite, it could not get any worse.
The service remains intermittent for many users, according to a status update on the Elite website.
Beachhead Studio says they have made some improvements to stability for the console app and website, along with other tweaks, but Elite remains far from fully operational.
"We've made good progress, but we realize there's still hard work to be done so that every player can access Call of Duty Elite whenever they want," reads the update.
The statement also says Elite mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms will be available "when we're confident the service will be able to handle the extra traffic they will generate."
Meanwhile, there's a chance PC game owners may not get the service at all. "We are working towards a universal Elite experience but we cannot guarantee if or when a version will be available for the PC," reads a response on the official Call of Duty Elite Twitter feed.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Beachhead Studio chief Chacko Sonny expressed concerns about PC security and Elite. "Without a central, trusted resource for stats, a lot of our competition features become unfair. We can't give away prizes when people can easily cheat their stats," Sonny tells Eurogamer.
Not only does Elite serve as a free service from publisher Activision for users to track stats and make updates such as weapon loadouts, but users who pay the $50 annual subscription fee gain access to perks such as downloadable content.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1073 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's Green Party will pick a new leader at its annual general meeting Nov. 15 to replace James Beddome, the party said today.
Beddome resigned last year after five years as leader to pursue a law career.
Under Beddome's leadership the party fielded 32 candidates and slightly increased its percentage of popular vote in the 2011 election, but fell well short of winning any seats. Following the election the Greens toyed with the idea of merging with the Liberal Party of Manitoba.
The party's interim leader is Alain Landry.

The first bookto investigate Jane Austen's popular significance today, Everybody's Jane considers why Austen matters to amateur readers, how they make use of hernovels, what they gain from visiting places associated with her, and why theycreate works of fiction and nonfiction inspired by her novels and life.The voices of everyday readers emerge fromboth published and unpublished sources, including interviews conducted with literary tourists and archival research into thefounding of the Jane Austen Society of North America and the exceptional Austencollection of Alberta Hirshheimer Burke of Baltimore.Additional topics include new Austenportraits; portrayals of Austen, and of Austen fans, in film and fiction; andhybrid works that infuse Austen's writings with horror, erotica, or explicitChristianity.Everybody's Jane will appeal to all those who care about Austen and will change how we think about theimportance of literature and reading today.

"Juliette Wells's Everybody's Jane engagingly fills a surprising gap in the bulging Jane Austen bookshelves, surveying how and why this writer of six anonymously published novels attracts both young and old, female and male, and academics and amateurs. Professor Wells leads the reader, including this one, to think about why one loves and respects the same "Jane" who has sparked an Austen cottage industry of key chains, mugs, and Regency dressing, but who shunned fame and publicity in her own life." – Joan Klingel Ray, Ph.D., Professor of English and CU-President's Teaching Scholar, University of Colorado, USA and President of the Jane Austen Society of North America (2000-2006).,
"At once affectionate and judicious, Everybody's Jane succeeds marvellously in revealing the energy and tremendous variety of the practices that amateur readers develop to make Jane Austen's works a part of their lives. Juliette Wells' stories of Austen-inspired fandom--of Austen tourism, collecting, fan fiction, and dating guides--amply reveal the creativity that resides within everyday acts of fandom." – Deidre Lynch, Chancellor Jackman Professor, University of Toronto, Canada,
"A witty, erudite, and humane exploration of the varied ways that amateur readers of Jane Austen have sought closeness with the object of their affection, from collecting her works and visiting the places where she lived, to imagining Jane in novels and films - or most extremely, in hybrid creations that feature Elizabeth Bennett as a martial artist combating zombies, Jane Austen as a vampire, or her characters as paragons of evangelical faith. Juliette Wells approaches all these manifestations of fandom without disparagement and with an open mind.Her book, which is both learned and generous of spirit, illuminates the sometimes quirky cultural creativity that ensues when Austen's readers follow their desires to connect personally with their beloved author (and the woman behind the writing), and the enormous pull Austen and her works continue to exert on the popular imagination." – Professor Elizabeth Long, Rice University, USA,
"In her engaging and thoughtful book, Juliette Wells maps out Jane Austen country, from pastime to profession to publishing, so readers can enjoy and consider Austen's classic influence and the modern inventiveness of the popular imagination." – Elda Rotor, Editorial Director, Penguin Classics,
"Once Jane Austen was merely a beloved author. Today she is a phenomenon, a mogul, a money-maker. In Everybody's Jane, Wells provides an encyclopaedic account of Austen in the popular culture, as she and her characters make movies, inspire pilgrimages, provide dating tips, solve crimes, fight zombies... Wells' research is prodigious, her material fascinating, and her style easy and readable." – Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club,
"Juliette Wells surveys a breathtaking number of pop culture manifestations of Jane Mania utilizing sociological and statistical as well as literary methodology." – Elsa A. Solender,

In 2007, Senator Obama promised that "as president of the United States I don't intend to abandon people or turn a blind eye to slaughter." In August 2011, President Obama declared that the prevention of mass atrocities and genocide was a "core national security interest and core moral responsibility" of the United States. And yet, President Obama continues to oversee a disastrous approach to ongoing genocide in Sudan. This approach has failed to prevent the tragic loss of countless lives and the mass displacement and starvation of countless more innocent people.
The Obama administration has frequently expressed grave concerns, but has pursued a policy of engagement, employing conciliatory diplomacy rather than confronting the regime in Sudan with consequences for genocide and crimes against humanity. Despite the attention of multiple Special Envoys, the U.S. policy has failed. Over the years, Sudan's President Bashir and the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) have learned that there are few or no real consequences for their actions, that there are no consequences for breaking commitments, and no action beyond condemnation in response to continuing and expanding mass atrocities and genocide.
U.S. policy on Sudan must change in order to change the political calculations of the government of Sudan. The U.S. must implement a new pro-democracy and civilian protection-oriented policy that holistically addresses the root cause of Sudan's multiple conflicts: the repressive and genocidal Sudan regime.
The U.S. can and should do more to provide strong leadership to end the government-sponsored violence in Sudan, protect civilians in Sudan and South Sudan, ensure unhindered humanitarian access for those in need, and bring the perpetrators of genocide and mass atrocities to justice at the International Criminal Court.
Specifically, the U.S. should:

Jun 29, 2012 - The Associated PressInmate sprung despite protests
CASPER -- An internal review has found that Wyoming Department of Corrections officials mistakenly released an inmate early even after he told a corrections officer that he still had at least five years left to serve for aggravated assault.
Managers at the Rawlins prison approved the release of Arthur Penrod in April without interviewing him or the corrections officer. Police caught up with Penrod in Riverton six days later and he surrendered without incident.
An investigating committee blamed lack of oversight as the main problem. The committee found that the department lacked a policy governing the release of prisoners.
Corrections Department spokesman Tim Lockwood says the department was working on a release policy at the time. Lockwood says the policy will go into effect July 11.
Group vows to repeal health law
CHEYENNE -- Gov. Matt Mead is being guarded about what will happen in Wyoming now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the federal health care law.
Mead says in a statement that before any further decisions on what Wyoming does with health care depend on studying the court ruling and meeting with experts, citizens and lawmakers.
He did say he believes the health care law is not a good fit for Wyoming and the state must continue to work on health care solutions developed in Wyoming.
Wyoming Sens. Mike Enzi and John Barrasso and Rep. Cynthia Lummis say the ruling doesn't change their stance that the law is bad policy that must be overturned.
The delegation says they will work to repeal the law.
Two arrested in Guernsey fire
TORRINGTON -- Authorities say two people have been arrested in Torrington in connection with the wildfire that burned in Guernsey State Park earlier this month.
The fire chased out campers and park users on June 9 and ended up burning about 2,700 acres in and near the park. The park was closed for five days, but no structures were lost.
KCWY-TV reports that the fire cost about $2.5 million to fight.
The two people were arrested by Goshen County deputies on a warrant out of Platte County charging them with arson.
The park is fully reopened but with fire restrictions.
Fire bill already at $6 million
LANDER -- The state of Wyoming has already spent $6 million in fighting wildfires so far this season.
Renny MacKay, of Gov. Matt Mead's office, says the state has $2 million in its two-year budget for fighting wildfires. The state also has a $2.8 million budget for general operations such as fire preparedness.
In addition, there is $9.2 million available in an emergency fire suppression account.
The governor recently put $6 million in unspent money into his office budget for fighting wildfires.

He was about to ring for the warder when gurn abruptly stayed him.
What I do not understand is how you guessed that you would find me here, in gurn's flat.
Can gurn and Lady Beltham have met and got to know each other?
I'm going to ask them to call an interesting witness in the gurn affair.
Lady Beltham was staring at the victim in horror, but gurn seized her roughly by the arm.
Out of pity for the decent old fellow gurn slackened his pace.
She had risen, and with white lips and haggard eyes held gurn's hands within her own in an even tighter grip.
"Nor have I," said gurn, and the frown on his brow was deeper.
gurn appeared to be sufficiently edified: at all events he paid no attention to the rest of the message.
He made a sign to gurn to say nothing, and went to the door.

Flo is back. And this time she's on a mission to help some friends. The unassuming star from last year's surprise hit — the downloadable PC game Diner Dash -again takes up a menu and washcloth to help fellow restaurateurs fight off closure to make way for a new Mega Multiplex food plaza.
While Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue doesn't really offer anything significantly different over its predecessor, this try-before-you-buy "casual" game is just as addictive — if not more so.
In order to save a few mom-and-pop restaurants from the wrecking ball, Flo rolls up her sleeves and helps take control over these local businesses to expand their customer base and operations and make enough money to pay off debts.
In case you've never clicked through Diner Dash, these mouse-driven games challenge players to efficiently run a restaurant by seating customers, giving out menus, taking orders, serving food in a timely manner and then busing the tables to make room for new customers.
Performing these tasks for multiple customers at once can be daunting, but it doesn't take long to fall into a comfortable rhythm, and it'll be closing time before you know it.
New challenges are introduced over time, such as different kinds of customers — including businesspeople in a rush, slow-eating bookworms or food critics who require extra pampering — while bonus points are awarded for matching the colors of the customers' outfits with the chairs.
Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue, which is free to download and play for 60 minutes before you are asked to cough up $19.95 to keep clicking, lets you control five unique restaurants, such as an outdoor cafe, Italian pizzeria and Japanese sushi grill.
The food, decor and type of customers will vary depending on the restaurant. For example, complete an outdoor cafe level with enough points and you can choose upgrades such as a garden bed or kitchen tile. New items are then introduced, such as a latte machine, mops and highchairs. The Italian restaurant, however, has red-checkered tables and bottled sodas, plus annoying cellphone talkers that upset customers around them unless you can serve them fast so they leave.
As an added bonus, gamers who achieve an expert score after each level will have more customization options to dress up the joint. In harder levels, tables will vary in size, so you must try to seat families at an appropriate table. Diner Dash 2 also offers new power-ups in case Flo needs some help, such as a hostess, entertainer and drink server — but it'll cost you virtual money, of course.
Finally, as with the original Diner Dash, this sequel offers two game modes: the main Story mode, where you play through 10 levels per restaurant by making enough money to unlock the following level, or the Endless Shift mode, where you can choose a restaurant (ones you've unlocked in Story mode) and can see how long you can survive against a never-ending stream of demanding customers.
Even if you haven't played the original title, Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue proves to be a fun and unique game that should appeal to players regardless of age, gender or skill level.

Ardmore's family, with the single exception of his sister, Mrs. Atchison, bored him immensely.
Atchison had given them all they needed while Willie was alive.
On the slavery side, Senator Atchison, of Missouri, was to be reckoned as one of the leaders.
They founded Atchison and other places and sent in settlers.
A shave is half a dollar—gold; in Washoe and in Atchison, but a paper quarter.
There was no question of Mrs. Atchison's complete surprise now.
Mrs. Atchison moved forward slightly, but evinced no other sign of surprise.
And Mrs. Atchison was quite right in her surmise, as we shall see.
I obtained a claim to 160 acres of land, twelve miles from Atchison, and on the banks of the Stranger Creek.
It was dangerous to undertake it, and I had to stay in Atchison.

It is official now that Bipasha Basu will not feature in the item song which will be there in the sequel of Murder as it has been confirmed by Mukesh Bhatt himself. And it is being said that Bipasha is herself to blame for her ouster from the Bhatt camp due to her tantrums and starry airs.
When Mukesh Bhatt was contacted he replied, ""I am deeply hurt. We launched Bipasha and now she imposes diktats on us. Sorry, but we decided not to work with her in Murder 2. A few months ago, Bipasha Basu had asked Vishesh Films that they should work together again. When we offered her the lead role in Murder 2, she said that she didn't want to do the film because it did not centre around woman. When she was approached for the item number, her attitude defied logic."
It is being said that Bips also asked for her favourite choreographer Bosco-Caesar to shoot the song to which the Bhatt camp refused and decided not to work with her. It is also being rumoured that Yana Gupta has been lined up to replace Bipasha for the song.
All attempts to contact Bipasha failed as no one answered her phone.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral resigned on Thursday after a row among church and local authorities over whether to try to evict a 200-tent protest camp occupying the square outside.
Canon Chancellor Giles Fraser had made clear his sympathy with the aims of the anti-capitalist protest camp and asked police to leave the cathedral steps early in the occupation. He said on Thursday he had gone with "great sadness."
Religious commentators said his move reflected differences in official attitudes towards the camp, which forced the cathedral to close its doors for the first time since World War Two.
St Paul's had said it was been losing 20,000 pounds a day since the camp was set up 12 days ago to protest against the nearby London Stock Exchange. It was closed on health and safety grounds but is due to reopen on Friday.
On Wednesday, the Dean Graeme Knowles reiterated "our basic belief in the right to protest as well as requesting that those people living in the tents now leave the site peacefully."
A statement on the cathedral's website said it was continuing to take legal advice on a range of options including court action.
The Corporation of London, the local authority in the City financial district, is to hold a special meeting on Friday to discuss whether to take legal action to clear roads around the camp.
A senior cleric in the City said: "The whole idea is a cathedral should be collegiate in its approach to things. Now one guesses from this that the cathedral have decided to take the approach of supporting the City in removing the camp, and that is why he (Fraser) has resigned."
Fraser, a former vicar of Putney in southwest London who has a high media profile with a regular slot on BBC radio, had taken up the St Paul's post in 2009.
"The Christian gospel is profoundly committed to the needs of the poor and the dispossessed. Financial justice is a gospel imperative," he said at the weekend.
Fraser announced his decision on Twitter. "It is with great regret and sadness that I have handed in my notice at St Paul's Cathedral," he wrote.
The statement on the cathedral's website said: "We are obviously disappointed that (Fraser) is not able to continue to his work ... during these challenging days."
Protester Ronan McNern said he was personally saddened by the news.
"This issue is obviously going right to the heart not only of the cathedral but also the church itself," he said. "With this we can see who the cathedral management are aligning themselves with - big business and politicians who have failed to regulate for the financial crisis," he told Reuters.
The senior City cleric said there was a sense Fraser "had not really grasped what the City is about."
"He had already been unreasonably critical of people (working in the financial sector) in the City."
Colin Coward, director of Changing Attitude, a group with which Fraser has links, said:
"Put under pressure he has held his own integrity as a Christian, and I think he is upholding Christian values and the teaching of Jesus with far more integrity than the dean and chapter (of St Paul's). I am very proud of him."

This is an entertaining, fast-paced story. The 'science' is certainly leaning closer to fiction than science, but the future world building is nicely done and the writing style easy to read.

If you are not calling on the decision-makers who can buy from you, you're wasting valuable time and resources and you need to change your sales strategy.
Water seeks its own level and the same can be said of salespeople. According to research, as much as 60% of a salesperson's time is spent in front of people who either can't buy or will never buy their products and services.
Many salespeople I've worked with over the years readily admit that they are not comfortable calling on decision-makers, particularly if they happen to be a C-level executive. Which begs the question, "How do you expect to have a successful sales strategy if you are not calling on the people authorized to buy your product or service?"
Building relationships with individual decision-makers can be a limited sales strategy due to the high turnover rates in these positions. However, if you are not selling directly to the person who can sign the check, you're selling yourself short.
Here are two quotes I refer to often when teaching the sales process to others:
So, get uncomfortable! To learn more about selling to decision-makers, I would encourage you to read the following books:
Do you want to be a Sales Rockstar? Then spend more time selling to the people who can and want to buy your product or service.

Chatham show brings farmers, foodies together
For anyone who's interested in food how it's raised, where it's grown, preparation techniques the Local Food Showcase at Chatham University was the place to be.
The trade show-style event Thursday at the school's Pittsburgh campus in conjunction with the Penn State Extension for Allegheny County was essentially aimed at bringing farmers and foodies together in the name of promoting local and regional agriculture.
There were producers of tofu, sausage, breads, muffins and jams. Some of the products only can be bought directly from suppliers while others are available at outlets such as the East End Food Co-Op or through chain markets such as McGinnis Sisters and Whole Foods.
Some sellers came from destination shops selling baked goods, homemade woven products and pottery.
"For being out in the middle of nowhere, we have a lot of talent," said Beth Laughner of Mary Mac Bakehouse and Standing Chimney farms store, located three miles south of New Castle.
Others who participated are growing produce surprisingly close to home.
Grower Marshall Hart of Grow Pittsburgh said that organization is expanding its community gardening efforts in Braddock.
"We're trying to double our size. They demolished two buildings right across the street from our current site at Tenth and Braddock Avenue. We're going through the process now of working with the county and the borough and city council, just trying to get permission."
Hart said the point of having a community garden in Braddock is to bring fresh produce to the community.
"There's not great options down there. I don't think a lot of folks have transportation to get to other places to buy food," Hart said.
Teen interns work in the community gardens during the summer. Produce from the garden is sold weekly at a farmers market and is priced comparably to produce sold in supermarkets, he said.
"In my opinion, it's highly superior and it's going to cost you the same," he said of the locally grown goods.
Milestone Specialty Produce of Buena Vista also was at the event. Milestone has been operating a greenhouse along the Youghiogheny River Trail for the past three years that is staffed by people with disabilities and raises hydroponically grown greens year round that it sells to restaurants. The Big Burrito and Eat'n Park chains are among its customers.
"It's going very well," Milestone Development Director Kate Bayer said. She said the greenhouse is close to breaking even economically and that consumers can purchase its organic salad greens at the Green Grocer in McKeesport, McGinnis Sisters, Right by Nature and Whole Foods.
The mission of the greenhouse is to provide meaningful employment for the disabled.
But it wasn't all about greens and grains. There was no shortage of meat vendors hawking their products to carnivores.
Forbes Buffalo Farm of New Castle, Lawrence County, was promoting its primary product of what else• buffalo.
Naomi Costello of Friendship Farms said her business, based in Lycippus, Westmoreland County, sells dry-cured beef, as well as baked goods and native plants.
Steve Hasley, who has a small operation with his neighbor in the Ligonier Valley they call Hillsprings Farms, sells shares of grass-fed cattle to customers. Consumers can buy a half or a quarter of a beef cattle. Hasley said his cattle are free of hormones, steroids and antibiotics.
"I don't want to be the biggest beef producer in Western Pennsylvania. I don't want to raise more than I have now," said Hasley, who, consequently, only sells directly to his customers.
Penn State Extension's Heather Mikulas said the reason for holding the event the first one of its kind in conjunction with Chatham University, is simple.
"We want to do whatever we can to promote Pennsylvania's family farms and farm products so that they can find new marketing channels to basically increase business. We're just trying to bring the two sides of the food system together," she said.
The event also coincides with the introduction of Chatham's new Master of Food Studies program.
The two-year Master of Arts program is the inaugural program of the university's School of Sustainability and the Environment and is modeled on a program developed by New York University. The program will feature in-the-field lessons at Chatham's 388-acre Eden Hall farm campus near Gibsonia and offer internship opportunities and study abroad.
Dr. Alice Julier, director of the Food Studies program, said the goal is to teach students about the food system, food culture, scientific aspects, sustainable agriculture and culinary arts.
"I'd like to see people who graduate from here being able to get jobs in food service, non-profits, anti-hunger work and looking at how to make farms more sustainable here in the Pittsburgh area," she said.
Candice Mason, a culinary student at Bidwell Training Center, said she went to the event with her friends to network with suppliers in preparation for when she enters the workforce. She said restaurants and the people they serve are more educated about food now than they were in the past.
"Before it was like, 'Let's go to the supermarket.' People are more informed now," she said.
But Mason said she is still learning about food and its sources.
Until seeing a vendor advertising locally raised lamb that day at the event, Mason said, "I never even thought lamb could be produced in Pennsylvania. And I'm from here."

Birmingham vs Stoke Live
Available on 9 channels inside the members area!!!
Birmingham will be hoping to maintain their recent good form and claim three vital points that could see them pull further clear off the relegation zone when they welcome Stoke on Saturday. Catch all the live football feeds from that game by signing up with us here on Live Sport Network.
The Blues have lost just one of their last five games, collecting eight points in the process. However with his side just one point above the relegation zone, manager Alex McLeish will be aware that his side will have to maintain that form until the end of the season if they are to avoid the disappointment of getting relegated this season.
Birmingham go into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over West Ham with Nikola Zigic continuing his recent good form by grabbing the only goal of the match in the 65th minute. McLeish was pleased with his side's performance and claimed that the victory will give his side a psychological boost as they look to pull away from the drop zone.
Meanwhile Stoke City manager Tony Pulis will be hoping for another good performance following a thrilling 3-2 win over Sunderland last weekend. The Potters looked to be heading towards a defeat after going 2-1 behind but Robert Huth equalized in the 83rd minute before grabbing an injury time winner.
Stoke had secured a narrow 3-2 win over Birmingham early in the season and Pulis will be optimistic of completing the double this weekend. Watch Birmingham vs Stoke Live online on Live Sport Network, the leading source to watch live Premier League soccer on the web.

Some workers involved in cleaning up the Gulf Coast beaches, marshes and waters have reported experiencing flu-like symptoms, the Associated Press reports.
Few studies have looked into the long-term health effects of oil exposure. Brief contact with small amounts of light crude oil and dispersants are not considered harmful, the story says. But, long-term exposure to dispersants can cause central nervous system problems, or do damage to blood, kidneys or livers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
British Petroleum and U.S. Coast Guard officials say dehydration, heat and food poisoning may be the cause. Dozens of complaints have been made related to oil exposure with the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, spokeswoman Olivia Watkins, told the AP.
BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said the reports are being investigated and that workers were being given "any safety equipment" needed to do their jobs, the story says. Suttles added that no one has pinpointed the cause of the workers' symptoms.
"Food poisoning is a really big issue when you got a concentration of this number of people in temporary camps, temporary accommodation. It's something we have to be very, very mindful of, " BP CEO Tony Hayward said Sunday.
