Myth: The federal definition of what constitutes a "wetland" is fair and reasonable.
Fact: According to the guidelines currently used by the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA, the term "wetlands" is defined as "those areas that are saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." This definition has resulted in such areas as sediment ponds, drainage ditches, and pot holes in farmers' fields being declared wetlands by the federal government.
Myth: Despite current government efforts, we continue to lose wetlands at an alarming rate.
Fact: In 1994, 108,000 acres of wetlands were lost, but 167,000 acres were restored. That left a net gain of 59,000 acres of wetlands.
Myth: We can accurately document how much "original" wetland existed before the European colonists began settlement.
Fact: We have no way of measuring how much wetland existed in America before European colonization. No surveys were taken detailing the extent of swamps and marshes in early America. Even the Lewis and Clark expedition, in 1804, did not record "wetlands" as such.
Myth: The federal government has the right to limit the use of private property to preserve wetlands without restriction.
Fact: Under the power of "eminent domain," the federal government does have the authority to take land for the "public good," but not without just compensation. When excessive regulation significantly diminishes that property value, a de facto taking of property has occurred.

Drive east on Colorado's Route 52 to Wiggins and it's a straight shot. The road stretches like a ribbon for miles, slicing between corn and sunflowers, wheat and millet fields. The Rocky Mountains recede to reveal a vast sky studded with thin and wispy or puffy rain-laden clouds. This is prairie country, not where you'd expect to find beefy tomatoes, English cucumbers or pulpy sweet peppers. Or would you?
Peel down a dirt road to the home of Russell and Cindy Shoemaker. Drive to the dead end–miles from the road, miles from anything. Home and farm to three generations of Shoemakers, the original turn-of-the-century bungalow stands under trees. A second generation resides a few feet away in a '50s ranch. Cindy and Russell built a contemporary home to complete the triangle of houses.
There's a history to this farm that's tied to water. "My grandfather was a dry-land farmer. My father irrigated. And now we're back to dry-land farming," Russell says.
Walk through a narrow passageway tucked into a long hedge and suddenly you're confronted with greenhouses. In this quiet world only the humming fans drone noisily. The moist air slaps like a damp towel. Basking in 80 degrees of warmth, rows of tomatoes snake along in regimented fashion, tethered to poles with green, orange and red fruit trailing below leaves. Russell is harvesting cucumbers this morning, but tomatoes make up the bulk of the harvest.
"Our water table dropped," Cindy says, "so in 1985 we decided to try greenhouse tomatoes. We saw other farmers around us going bankrupt." Farmers surrounding the Shoemakers grow corn, wheat, sunflowers and millet. But many can grow only as dry-land farmers now. There's not enough water underground to support irrigation and success is dependent on Colorado's unpredictable rainfall. Russell runs a herd of 50 cattle and continues some dry-land farming but it's nothing like his father's generation of farming. Tomatoes looked like a good alternative. With a short growing season and the burgeoning population along the Front Range, greenhouse vegetables could compete with hothouse tomatoes and peppers coming from as far away as Holland.
"We have so much sunshine here," Cindy says, which can be harnessed for full greenhouse production, "even so, we're still dependent on clear skies. If it's cloudy we won't see as many blossoms. You won't notice it right away but six weeks later, you'll see a drop off in tomato production."
The Shoemakers are growing tomatoes the size of baseballs with thin skins, small cores and juicy flesh. Peppers are thick and meaty, ranging from yellow to orange and red. Cucumbers are the English variety, long and slender with few seeds. Cindy breaks off a tomato at a joint. "We leave the calyx on. That's an indicator of freshness," she says. The calyx is a small green cap that fits over the base of the stem where it connects to the plant. Most tomatoes arrive in stores bare of stems because the calyx has withered away.
A greenhouse is an environment on its own—a tiny managed universe. Three small cardboard boxes house bumblebees. They come and go as they please, visiting plants year around. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers depend on pollinating insects to set fruit. Cindy points to a small yellow tomato blossom that has a slight brownish spot—a bruise, she says, where the bees have been collecting pollen.
Every few feet yellow sticky cards catch unwanted pests. The Shoemakers don't use pesticides on their plants. So except for bumblebees, insects are not encouraged. That's also why the plants are torn up at the end of a year. By January, Russell will be putting in new plants and waiting for them to begin fruiting. "Older plants are more susceptible to disease," he says, "so it's worth it to plant new each year, to sanitize everything and start over. But it does limit your production."
Greenhouse vegetables don't receive nutrients from soil. They're grown in soil-less mixes of perlite, peat and vermiculite—all natural substances from the earth, but without essential nutrients that would boost the growth of fruiting vines. The farmer has to match the crop with nutrients and hover over the plants to head off any diseases, make sure the tomatoes are tethered so that the heavy fruit doesn't break off, fertilize to exacting specifications, water judiciously and harvest at the right time. A crew of 14 harvests the dangling fruit twice a week. Then Cindy takes it to the farmers markets in Longmont and Fort Collins. It's a three-hour drive, but the market is a direct link to the customer.
Major supermarkets rarely buy from small farmers, even though the Shoemakers, on a good week, may have 6,000 pounds of tomatoes. "That's usually in late spring," Russell says, "really, the production changes from day to day. For eight months we pick off them." And even 6,000 pounds doesn't qualify as a big producer, which keeps him out of the big supermarkets. He depends on independent stores and farmers markets managed by people who look for high quality specialty produce. Cindy attends the markets because she enjoys meeting customers face-to-face, explaining what goes into the peppers and tomatoes to make them so robust.
She's trying eight new tomato varieties, clustered and clipped all together. "The skin is too thick; they're a little too acid for my taste," she says disappointedly about one. Still, her customers guide the harvest. Some request green tomatoes. They want to make chow-chow, an old-fashioned preserve. Or, they love fried green tomatoes. "I can't get past the bitter taste of green tomatoes," she says, "but others love it." Her favorite is a beefsteak style with a thin skin, small core and succulent flesh.
Antonio Laudisio, owner and chef at Laudisio's Ristorante in Boulder prefers the smaller tomatoes. "I like the plum tomatoes better for sauces," he says. "I cut them in half and take out all the seeds. Then I slice them up and make my sauces with that. I'm not necessarily going for Roma—it's not a brand of tomatoes but a taste. The key is ripeness and the stem attached.
"I used to go into my mother's yard with a saltshaker. I'd hang out among the vines, with the sun coming through the vines and leaves. It did something to my memory bank. It was the pollen. I stimulated the tomato plants by shaking them, going from plant to plant. It was the oil left on my hands that I was going for. I'm happy they are sending us the tomatoes with stems. I take the stem off and rub it in the bowl."
Antonio is describing the calyx connected to the stem that the Shoemakers provide as a telltale sign of vine-ripened fruit. But don't add tomato leaves. Like its cousin, the potato, both are in the nightshade family and their leaves are poisonous.
"I don't like tomatoes cold," Antonio says, "but at room temperature and with a lot of fresh basil. So, now, on to the peppers…they have a strong skin and a thick wall so I roast them. After roasting them on a barbeque outside, they're black. I put them in a bag with salt. I didn't roast them to a point where they split. After peeling off the skin—and this you can do under water–I've found it doesn't matter that much if you rinse them with water providing that when you cut them you save the juice. I don't want to waste that. I use them with an olive oil and fresh herbs in a salad.
"Or slice them and use them in a pasta dish with tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, garlic, an anchovy and attention to olive oil. It's a very quick hit with the tomatoes. By the time the pasta is cooked, the sauce should be done. This time of the year, don't overcook tomatoes. The cooking is just to enhance the flavors. The sauce won't be very liquid so add a touch of pasta water. It gives some viscosity, which both thickens and extends it. With that, throw your pasta in. Don't use cheese. Instead, grate some toasted focaccia bread on it. Add a little fresh herbs and olive oil in the beginning and a little at the end—good quality virgin olive oil.
"In this country, we tend to pick up on one thing like balsamic vinegar and use it too much. The Italians use balsamic vinegar, but not the way we do. They also use cheese, but not the way we do. On a fresh summer salad, I wouldn't use cheese. I would use grated breadcrumbs with seasonings, a good olive oil and dribble some oil onto the wet pasta. Then add your sauce and plenty of black pepper.
"I like to walk in the farmers markets, talking to the farmers, taking in the vegetables. I like to smell the ripened fruit….really, it's a spiritual experience for me."
The following recipes were developed by Front Range Living. Antonio has advised us: "Don't overcook the tomatoes." So we've revised our Roasted Ratatouille recipe to add tomatoes at the very end.
- One sweet medium-sized onion peeled and cut in half
- Three sweet peppers cored, seeded and halved
- One medium-sized eggplant cut in half
- One zucchini squash cut in half
- Five garlic cloves left in their husks
- Five medium-sized tomatoes, cut in half
- Fistful of basil leaves, any variety
- ½ cup of olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- One pound of pasta, tubular or rotini cooked according to package directions
Turn the oven on to 400 degrees. Place onion, peppers, eggplant and garlic into a roasting pan, all cut side down. Pour the olive oil over and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until the eggplant is soft and tender. Add the tomatoes, cut side down. Continue for ten minutes. Remove from the oven. Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Turn the basil leaves, removed from the stem, into the roasted vegetables. Squeeze the garlic from their husks and they'll melt into the sauce. Sprinkle with plenty of black pepper to taste. Cook the pasta according to directions and serve. Cheese is not necessary on this dish. Serves four as a main dish.
- Six large tomatoes or nine smaller tomatoes, vine-ripened only, they need not be peeled or seeded
- One cucumber, seedless preferred
- ½ sweet onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and stems removed
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped to remove tough stems
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 sweet pepper, seeds and stems removed
- 3 cups water
Cut vegetables into large pieces. Puree all in a blender or food processor. Chill for several hours. Serves eight.
- 2 sweet peppers roasted, see instructions below
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or cubes, preferably from a French loaf, crusts may be included
- 1/4 cup flat-leaved parsley (also called Italian parsley), chopped finely
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped finely
- 1/4 medium onion, chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or asiago cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped, roasted walnuts
- sprinkling of dried currants or minced dried figs, about three tablespoons
- salt and pepper to taste and any juice from the peppers
Roast sweet peppers by placing them under the broiler if the stove in electric. Turn them every few minutes until the skin is charred all over. If the stove is gas, place the peppers over the stove top flame; turn the pepper every few minutes to char all around. Place the peppers in a plastic bag until cool enough to handle. Strip away out skin, remove the stem and seeds, but save the juice and keep the peppers whole.
Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until wilted but not brown. Add all remaining ingredients except peppers. Stuff into the peppers and bake for 20 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Slice the peppers in half for four if they are large, or serve whole for two.
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1/2 sweet red pepper, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup basmati rice
- 1 cup water
- pinch saffron, powder or threads
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 fresh shrimp, any size
- 1/2 cup frozen or fresh peas
Place garlic, onion, sweet pepper and oil in a heavy skillet or sauce pan. Sauté until the onion and pepper are limp. Add the rice, cook until the rice is coated with the oil. Add the water and saffron, salt and pepper. When water begins to boil, put a lid over the skillet and turn the heat to low. Allow the rice to cook until it is tender. If you are using fresh peas, add them at this time. When the rice is cooked through and has absorbed the water, place the shrimp on top of the rice to steam. They will curl and turn pink. If you are using frozen peas, allow them to defrost and add them one minute before serving. Serves two.
- 6 medium tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup flat-leaved parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbs. capers
- 10 olives, Greek or Nicoise
- 1 pound pasta, any kind but penne is good for this dish
- salt and pepper to taste
Place tomatoes, garlic, parsley, basil, olive oil in a food processor. This must be done in two batches. Heat water on the stove to cook pasta. Cook pasta according to directions. Add capers and olives to the blended tomato sauce, which remains uncooked. When pasta is done, pour the sauce over the pasta. Serves three generously.
- 1 large sweet red pepper, minced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 Tablespoon olive oil
- pinch saffron threads
- 1 cup rice (Basmati if possible)
- 2 cups water
- 8 sea scallops
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas (defrosted)
- salt and pepper to taste
Add the pepper, onion, saffron and garlic to the olive oil in a heavy saucepan on medium high heat. Allow to wilt, but not brown. Add the rice and stir to coat it in the oil. Add the water, salt and pepper. Lower the heat to low and allow the rice to cook nearly done. When the rice has absorbed most of the water, add the scallops. Size will determine how fast they cook; it may be only a matter of minutes. If you are using fresh peas, add them when you add the scallops. If you are using defrosted peas, add them when the scallops have cooked through and let them warm up rather than cook.

Plantlife Aromatherapy Candles
Vanilla Rose. Lemongrass & Orange. Tangerine & Lavender. Wonder what I'm doing? Just taking a bit of time to relax. Yes, it's true that sometimes I can sneak a whole 3 minutes to myself. It's sheer luck when it happens. But I've been enjoying sharing some Plantlife Aromatherapy Candles with Grambo when we have a chance.
When they arrived from Abe's Market, I could smell them through the packaging. That is the best my mailbox has ever smelled! Grambo was thrilled when she came home from work. She could smell the candles even though we hadn't opened them yet! (I was trying to wait for her.)
I was pleased with how quickly our candles shipped from Abe's Market. They were also very well packaged so they were no bumps or bruises along the way.bBut they were open within moments of Grambo getting home!
Environmentally Safe Aromatherapy Candles
We were interested in the Plantlife Aromatherapy Candles because they are environmentally friendly. They are free of synthetics and petrochemicals. They are made with cotton wicks and 100% pure essential oils. This provides the aromatherapy benefit through inhalation. Oh, and the wax is plant-based as well!
The first candle we broke out was the Vanilla Rose because I have a bit of an obsession with rose scented candles. This one did not disappoint at all! I loved the rich mix of vanilla with the rose. It was like a perfect candle for me and I might have snagged it for my room. Grambo has the other 5!
What we love about the sampler pack is that the candles are all large enough to be used for quite. But we also love that we were able to try different varieties to see which ones we like most. Now we're more prepared to order larger candles in our favorite scents.
My mom is a fan of all of the scents but I have hung onto the vanilla rose! It's definitely my favorite!
Abe's Market offers a variety of natural and organic products. You can see the wide variety of products they carry on their website. You can also connect with Abe's Market on Facebook and on Twitter @AbesMarket!
Tell me about your favorite candle scent!

Vintage 1960s Ohrbach's Oval Room Sassy Fur Hat
A cap style hat that is flirty, but made with the best quality materials. I wish I could tell you exactly what type of fur this hat is made from, but I'm not an expert on fur so I will guess that it's possibly sheared beaver, mouton or seal. It is, without a doubt, the absolute softest fur you will find. The color is a deep dark expresso brown and the brim is a deep brown soft leather. The hat is completely lined with a corresponding brown material. Very smart looking cap!
CONDITION: Very Good The only issue that I can see with this hat is that there is very slight staining (probably makeup) on the front of the inner grosgrain ribbon liner.
LABEL: Oval Room Ohrbach's—union label on the back of this label
SIZE: No size label

Drip, drip, drip goes the story.
Voltron is an exercise in patience. Those seeking a wham bam thank you giant lion robot will be incredibly frustrated with the pacing of Voltron. Writer Brandon Thomas is trying to deepen the story of everybody's favorite space avenger by taking his time with what he reveals. Thus far, we know enough to keep the interest going but nothing concrete. There are as many questions as there are answers, which seems to be how Thomas wants it.
So far Voltron has been a mix of mid-tempo pacing and high action. Issue 3 is where that ends. This will separate the true fans from those looking for a quick action fix. There's no action here. This is all plot. It's a great issue, one that really starts to bring out the subtext of the series, but action-wise it's a big goose egg. We start in the year 2124 at King Zarkon's secret lair. This is Zarkon as we remember him, alien looking and evil. Chained in his lair is Voltron, and Zarkon is embroiled in an argument with the robot's consciousness.
That consciousness ties back into the flashback section, where Zarkon is still human and the consciousness of Voltron is an alien named Alec. Alec has come to warn the human race of an impending enslavement from a race so evil it's not to be believed. Thomas brings a new element into Voltron by introducing magic. Alec is a sorcerer as well as a warrior and his powers are without question. After exposing an alien traitor with the US Military ranks, our magic alien produces a hologram of the one thing that can save humanity. A lion robot that will form into the greatest fighting force ever. The current Voltron team only makes a casual appearance, one that doesn't do much to foster their story.
Issue #3 is all about setting up who Alec is as well as bringing in the magic element. Thomas is asking a lot of Voltron fans so he makes sure everything works within the framework of the original Voltron story. He also doesn't give much more away than the details within the issue. We still don't know what finally turned Zarkon or how Alec became locked within Voltron. There's no clue as to the formation of the original team or how they'll rescue our hero. Like I said, with so much given to us, there's a lot we still don't know. For some, that will be excruciating, for me it's good storytelling.
The art from Ariel Padilla is solid. I'll be the first to admit that the American/Manga art hybrid isn't a favorite of mine. It makes things look too basic, characters start looking the same and they always seem to have the same expression. On the plus side, it makes for great movement, something that really helps in an issue where the action is minimal. While many may see Voltron #3 as not enough, I see it as another well-written piece of an interesting puzzle.
CraveOnline Rating: 8/10 (5 Story. 3 Art)

It was all a long way from kicking an Argentinian in the 1998 World Cup.
David Beckham, multi-millionaire, with his perfectly groomed right eyebrow raised just enough to show he was laughing at his own good fortune, magnanimously giving his salary to charity after signing for Paris St Germain.
The Chingford boy done good. No more hairbands, no more sarongs, no more kiss-and-tells. Just philanthropy and lovely eyebrows.
The football writers are swooning over him like One Direction fans, gossiping about how lovely David is for donating an unspecified amount of money to an unspecified charity while dreaming of repeated journalist jaunts to Paris in the springtime.
And, in so much as few footballers make a public point of the same sort of thing, Beckham is worth a high-five for giving away money he doesn't need and, when the charity is named, raising the profile of whichever good cause he will support.
But behind the journalistic joy at the thought of some Eurostar jaunts and trying to get a night at the Moulin Rouge on expenses, there's a few dirty, persistent, cynical facts that need pointing out.
First off, the French have a 75 per cent tax on anyone earning more than a million Euros a year. Becks' salary for five months at PSG is unknown, with figures of £3m and £4m bandied about, but either way he was not expecting to keep hold of much of it.
Second off, the French president Francois Hollande has said foreign footballers are not exempt from his tax gathering , and 25 other PSG players will be trying to find Jimmy Carr's accountant once the law kicks in.
Third off, you can get a tax cut for making charity donations.
Fourthly, and most importantly, Beckham's football is not how he makes money. The football is just the enjoyable way he advertises the things which make him money, and the French are about to start snapping them up like frogs on speed.
Forbes magazine estimate that since signing for LA Galaxy in 2007, Becks has pocketed £161m . His salary over that period was a mere £4.1m - the rest came from a deal which saw him take a percentage of all Galaxy revenue, endorsements, appearance fees, and a licensing agreement.
What he did not announce along with his heroic charity donation was his residency status for tax purposes, who's licensing who and how many pairs of £12.99 Becks' kecks they expect to flog.
(The kecks which, in case you were under a rock and missed them, Beckham has advertised by streaking around LA in front of tourist buses, had beamed onto the White Cliffs of Dover, and saw turned into a 10ft silver statue absolutely no-one could resist fondling.)
Added to which, however sublime Beckham is capable of being either when crossing the ball or taking off his top, he's not in any manager's A-team these days. His ankles knocked him out of three of his last few matches in LA and he's not been good enough for our hardly-brilliant national team since 2009.
His presence on the pitch, these days, is something which gets bums on seats and only an occasional ball in the net.
He is genuinely quite a nice bloke - a photographer friend of mine has fond memories of how polite Becks was whenever he was pictured, even when his wife was, shall we say, verbally unhappy about it. He and Victoria have a history of supporting children's charities, and surely anything which promotes a team-building, family-oriented sport is a good thing, right?
Of course it is. But the fact his new team is owned by the state of Qatar - not a business, not an Arab prince, the actual country - and that country's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup is now under investigation by FIFA over allegations of corruption and bribery is not a good thing.
Becks is more than a mere football player. He is more, even, than a multi-million pound industry. His achievements and reach are greater than merely cross-promoting his grumpy wife's clothes, which skinny French women will no doubt be demanding in their droves.
Becks is football itself - he is proof that talent can lift a boy out of poverty, that kicking a ball can make you worshipped like a god, that being a decent sort brings rewards. He is the Beautiful Game incarnate.
That was his value to LA Galaxy and the entire US soccer league, where his mere presence in the dressing room was enough to elevate a B-list girls' game to star-studded A-list status, with Tom Cruise on the sidelines cheering him on.
And that's his value to the Qataris, who will benefit from the Becks sunshine blinding anyone who might want to ask them unwelcome questions about, well, just about anything.
But therein lies Becks' fatal, constant flaw - he's a pretty little thing, nice to look at, and far more use as an ornament than a midfielder.
His accountant would probably agree with me.

No classes, 7/3, 7/4
Last day to withdraw: 6/20/2017
This course traces the concept of absurdity from first principles to modern postulates.
The first principles are assembled from writers as diverse as Kierkegaard, Freud, Camus, and Kafka. The modern postulates include the notion of an absurd hero (or antihero) in modern fiction and absurd tragedy (or tragic farce), called Theater of the Absurd. Writers studied include Edward Albee, Paul Bowles, Michael Chabon, and John Irving.
The course will run as a graduate seminar in which the main goal will be to find a workable definition of the absurd in literature. The term "absurd" is often used derisively to describe something which ought to be dismissed, yet the absurd as a mode of thought has become one of the most influential elements of modern (and post-modern) literature. Collectively and individually the group will undertake a voyage of discovery to determine the philosophical roots of the concept of absurdity and its manifestation in contemporary literature and film. We will work with the source material, looking first at the European thinkers and writers from which the ideal first sprang and following subsequent developments in the work of contemporary American writers. The works to be read will include writers as diverse as Kierkegaard, Camus, and Albee. The works themselves will vary from Kafka's Trial to Irving's Ciderhouse Rules. Students will be challenged to examine a complex issue critically and express themselves effectively in written work, classroom discussion, and presentations.
Dr. Steven Burr, Monday and Wednesday, 6:00–9:00 p.m. [5/31–7/12, no class, 7/3]. (Thematic)
Required of all students in their first semester; open to others by permission only
From farm to factory to fiber optics, the meaning of "work" has been central to the American experience. Shifting to industrial and then to post-industrial eras raises questions not just about business and economics, but about forces transforming society and the individual's place in it.
This course considers a range of political, economic, social, and personal issues of America in a changing world—from industrialization to de-industrialization and globalization; from the "service economy" to the "gig economy;" and competing views about the future of work.
We'll approach America at Work from a range of perspectives and sources— scholarly work as well as excerpts from film, theatre, and literature. Your responses to all of these will include some usual university-level approaches and more unusual ones.
Dr. James Quirk, Tuesday and Thursday hybrid, 6:00–9:00 p.m. [6/1–7/13, no class, 7/4], face-to-face meetings, 6/1, 6/15, 6/29, 7/11. (Historical),
Last day to withdraw: 8/3/2017
This course connects the history, literature, and the arts of African Americans to survey the African-American experience. Through close readings of both canonical and non-canonical writers, analyzing political movements and discussing recurring themes, students will engage with the rich culture of the African-American community. The authors read will range from Douglass to Baldwin to Tupac. The movements will include slave revolts, American Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the American Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, Hurricane Katrina, and current events. Both writers and events will be viewed from the vantage point of the Great Migration, the significance of art and music, racial violence, and the fight for equal rights for all races.
Students will draw upon primary sources (film, print, and other art mediums) and scholarly articles and YouTube videos to assist discussions. Graded work will include projects, essays, participation, and a final poster project.
Mr. J. Michael Powell, Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00–9:00 p.m., 7/18–8/24. (Historical)
The adage "all is fair in love and war" connotes a strategic iciness in two of humanity's most commonly held experiences; it also betrays a disconcerting equation of humanity's capacities for love and violence. This class focuses on texts, mostly by women from Europe and America, broadly related to the ideas and experiences of love and war as well as issues of race, history, and political activism. We will discuss both canonical and non-traditional texts, among them novels, poems, short stories, memoirs, academic articles/works, journalism, films, and music. This course emphasizes how these texts represent gender, how literature contributes to identity-formation, and how women have used the written word to change their social and imaginative conditions. This course is taught from a feminist perspective.
Dr. Patrick Brugh, Monday and Wednesday hybrid, 6:00–9:00 [7/17–8/24], face-to-face meetings, 7/17, 7/19, 8/9, 7/24, 7/26, 8/21, 8/23. (Creative)

It once seemed like such a simple solution to the inevitable discomforts of menopause: hormone replacement. A pill a day could cool your hot flashes, while reducing your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, and memory problems—and even keep you looking young and feeling sexy. For decades, doctors confidently recommended hormone therapy to women, making it sound sensible, modern, and harmless.
But the pretty party came to a shocking end in July 2002, when the Women's Health Initiative released its initial results, finding that synthetic estrogen and progesterone actually brought higher risks of heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer.
Women jettisoned their hormones en masse, but the dream did not die. Now, on the 10th anniversary of WHI, many doctors are reevaluating the landscape. Low-dose hormones, they say, can be used responsibly by most women with debilitating symptoms if taken for a few years at the time of menopause. But hormones have FDA approval for just four uses: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and the prevention of osteoporosis. And they're not even the best solution for osteoporosis, since bone loss resumes once you stop taking them.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Yet an entire industry has sprung up to promote hormones as veritable time-travel pills to transport women back to their supple sexy youth, complete with sounder sleep, sharper memory, smoother skin, steadier mood, and a sleeker silhouette. Some women do report feeling better on hormone therapy, but the scientific evidence for most of these benefits is meager. And in any case, doctors do not endorse open-ended use of hormones.
So what's a menopausal woman to do? The alternative remedies outlined below may not be perfect, but they can offer substantial relief—without the side effects of hormones. "The anti-aging medicine people want you to spend all your time trying not to get older," says Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause. Instead, she advises, focus on living well. "Once you recover from the self-talk that you're too old, the whole ball game changes," she says. "To me, 50 is the beginning of where life gets interesting—in a really good way."
Lace up your sneakers
Promotes: bone strength, heart health, smoother skin, higher energy.
Reduces: hot flashes
Exercise may be the closest thing to a panacea that exists for the problems of menopause and aging. When researchers in Sweden surveyed 793 women who had reached natural menopause, only 5% of those who exercised more than 2 hours a week had severe hot flashes, compared with 14 to 16% of those who did few or no weekly workouts.
In addition, exercise helps build bones and improves mood. It reduces blood pressure, along with the risks of heart attack and stroke. It eases tension and promotes restful sleep, which in turn helps relieve the brain fog that many women experience at menopause. It can even boost energy. Interval training—alternating short bursts of intense activity with steady-state cardio—can double your number of mitochondria (the energy-producing "power plants" of cells) in just 6 weeks, says Melinda Ring, MD, medical director of Northwestern Integrative Medicine and coauthor of The Natural Menopause Solution. Workouts even offer cosmetic benefits. "After exercise, blood rushes to the skin, bringing with it extra nutrients and increasing the collagen content," says Judy Norsigian, executive director of Our Bodies Ourselves, a nonprofit women's health organization.

Eat Mediterranean
Promotes: heart health, better mood.
Reduces: hot flashes
A diet that's good for your heart and brain also turns out to be good for quelling menopausal symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acids—found in fish such as sardines and salmon--can reduce hot-flash frequency by 55%, according to a study in the journal Menopause. Other studies have also found that omega-3s reduce the risk of heart disease and depression. Aim for at least two servings a week. If you don't love fish, you can get omega-3s in walnuts, flaxseed, and canola oil. But many people need supplements to get enough. Doctors usually recommend a gram a day.
Find joy in soy
Reduces: hot flashes
Soy contains plant estrogens, known as phytoestrogens, which lock into your body's estrogen receptors, giving similar, though weaker, effects as the human hormone. An analysis of 17 studies in the journal Menopause concluded that two daily servings of soy can reduce hot-flash frequency by 21% and lessen severity by 26%. But be cautious about soy supplements, which deliver concentrated doses of these estrogen-like compounds. Some scientists worry that, like human estrogen, they could promote breast cancer. Real soy is much safer. So are other beans, such as lentils and chickpeas, which also contain phytoestrogens, though at lower levels. As a bonus, they are good sources of protein, fiber, and folate.

Seek herbal relief
Promotes: better mood
Brain science may be discovering why black cohosh has such enduring popularity, even though rigorous trials have failed to prove its benefits for hot flashes. "Researchers have found that black cohosh affects neurotransmitters in the brain that might lift mood," says Tieraona Low Dog, MD, an expert in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona and a member of Prevention's advisory board. Some women, she speculates, may feel better and tolerate hot flashes better when they take the herb, even if it doesn't reduce the number or intensity of those episodes.
Get the point of acupuncture
Reduces: stress, anxiety, pain, hot flashes
"Some of the most exciting research to me is for acupuncture," Dr. Low Dog says. "A number of studies show that for women with breast cancer who cannot take hormones, acupuncture can be highly effective at reducing hot flashes." A 2010 study of breast cancer survivors, conducted by Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, randomly assigned 50 participants to acupuncture or the antidepressant Effexor, which has been shown to help women with hot flashes and depression. The treatments were equally effective at reducing hot-flash frequency, but the women given acupuncture reported no side effects and an increased sex drive. Other studies find that acupuncture also reduces stress, anxiety, and pain.

Breathe deep
Reduces: stress, blood pressure, hot flashes
Stress is a hot-flash trigger, but you can dial it back and also reduce blood pressure with something as simple as your own breathing. Three well-designed studies have shown that taking slow, deep breaths (six or fewer a minute) can slash hot flashes by 50%. Try it when a hot flash hits to reduce length and severity.

Yoga may also help by reducing stress. A pilot study at the University of Washington found that women who took regular classes had fewer complaints about hot flashes and experienced fewer sleep disturbances from night sweats. Two larger studies, both funded by the National Institutes of Health, are under way to see if the effects hold up. Yoga also releases brain substances that act as natural antidepressants. It lowers heart rate and improves balance and flexibility.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

Dell C1765NF MFP Driver Download. Printer Review – There are in fact 2 variations of this laser printer available. The C1765nf evaluated below sets you back ₤ 189.00 as well as offers print, scan, duplicate as well as fax features, with USB and also Ethernet interfaces for attaching to individual computer systems or an office network. There's additionally a wifi model, called the C1765nf MFP that is priced at ₤ 310.00 on Dell's website, although we have actually seen it at around ₤ 200.00 from a few other on-line shops, so it deserves searching if you really want the wifi variation. It's a bit of a creature, measuring a full 338mm high, 410mm broad as well as 379mm deep, as well as weighing in at 15.5 Kg, so you'll most definitely need to devote a table or workdesk to it in your office. Keeping the rate this low also suggests that the C1765nf has to make a few compromises, such as the absence of two-sided printing and support for AirPrint. There are applications readily available for iOS as well as Android gadgets, however, so you could still publish from your cell phones if you need to.
Publish rates are also relatively moderate, at around 11 web pages each min for mono an 10ppm for colour. That's very little faster compared to a portion of the inkjet printers we evaluate here, but the C1765nf has a monthly task cycle of 30,000 pages per month, so it could manage a much greater workload compared to similar inkjets.
Dell C1765NF MFP Driver Free Download And, as you would certainly expect from a laser printer, print quality is excellent. The printer's 600x600dpi resolution creates smooth, tidy text characters, and sharp, intense colour graphics. However, inkjet printers still produce much better photo outcome when printing on lustrous papers. We were kindlied to see that the printer ships with a full-size set of toner cartridges, instead of the tiny 'starter' cartridges that are often consisted of with some laser printers. The drum as well as toner fuser devices are additionally created to last for the entire life of the printer, which need to assist to maintain running costs down.

The Dell C1765nf MFP Shade Multifunction Laser printer is a small MFP appropriate for a micro or office. It ares tiny enough to act as an individual printer in any dimension office. In our testing, its overall result top quality was a bit above the same level, with graphics particularly excellent, however it was a little bit slow for an MFP of its rate. The C1765nf MFP's print engine is LED based, using light-emitting diodes rather than lasers as its light source. LED laser printers, however, discuss many of the attributes of lasers and are thought about laser course. They have the tendency to be smaller sized compared to real lasers, nevertheless, and also the C1765nf MFP is no exemption. It measures 13.3 by 16.1 by 14.9 inches (HWD), quite small for an MFP, as well as it considers 34 extra pounds. You might well feel comfortable sharing a workdesk with it, depending on the dimension of your workdesk as well as your space requirements.
You can check to email, to a USB flash drive, to an application or to a network folder. You could fax either from the C1765nf MFP's keypad or from your computer system (COMPUTER Fax). On the top is a 15-sheet automatic file feeder (ADF), which lets you duplicate, check, and also fax multipage records neglected.
Dell C1765NF MFP PrintervDriver Downloa – The C1765nf MFP's paper capacity is 150 sheets, plus a 10-sheet sidestep tray so you could conveniently change to alternating paper stock. That's suitable for lighter-duty micro- or home-office job, or utilize as an individual laser printer. It does not have an auto-duplexer for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. For publishing from mobile phones, the C1765nf MFP is compatible with the lately introduced Dell Mobile Print for Android, as well as will certainly additionally work with the iOS variation of the application when it's released in January 2013.
The C1765nf MFP supplies USB, Wi-Fi and also Ethernet connectivity. (A Wi-Fi-less variation, the C1765nf, is offered for $369.) I examined it over a wired network with the printer's motorist mounted on a COMPUTER running Windows Vista. I timed the C1765nf MFP on our company applications suite (utilizing QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing) at a reliable 3.5 pages per minute (ppm), according to its rated speed of 12 page per minute for monochrome as well as 15 pages each minute for shade printing that's based upon printing text documentations without graphics or pictures– our examination collection consists of content pages, graphics web pages, as well as web pages with blended material.
Outcome Quality
Overall outcome high quality was a little bit far better compared to average for a color laser-class printer, with somewhat below-par content, above-par graphics, as well as average photo quality. Text was still suitable for typical business use; I would certainly wait to utilize it for advertising products, and also would not use it for anything calling for really minimal fonts, such as some typesetting applications.
Graphics quality is great for PowerPoint handouts, even ones going to individuals you're seeking to thrill, and also good enough for wearing in fundamental advertising materials. Depending upon exactly how particular you are, you could discover photo top quality ideal for use in a company e-newsletter.
Its running costs of 3.5 cents per monochrome web page and also 18.5 cents each shade page are normal of an MFP in its rate array, and the same as the Dell 1355cnw. The Ricoh SP C240SF provides slightly reduced per-page costs, at 2.7 cents for monochrome as well as 16.7 cents for shade. Along with far better speed as well as lower running expenses, the Ricoh SP C240SF supplies far better standard (250 sheets) paper capacity plus an optional 500-sheet second tray. The Ricoh does have some rickety problems, though, like a COMPUTER Fax motorist that doesn't set up by default. The Dell C1765cnw is a strong selection as a color MFP for a micro or home office, although the Editors' Selection Dell 1355cnw offers equivalent output yet better speed.

Origamibiro is a collaborative project consisting of three core members: musician, soundtrack composer and producer Tom Hill, visual artist and filmmaker The Joy Of Box, and multi-instrumentalist Andy Tytherleigh. Originally started as a solo project for Tom, Origamibiro has since evolved into an audio-visual collective, producing studio music, art objects, interactive installations and hauntingly original live audio-visual performances. Origamibiro like to create work with an array of unorthodox processes and contraptions, found objects, video feeds and multi instrumentalism. Their aim is to create works of texture, lyricism and intensity.
"The fall of a typewriter key, the pluck of a double bass, the ripping of paper - all these tiny, transient moments become the notes with which Origamibiro compose a world around them... And it's an extraordinary world: strangely calming in its slow revealing; startlingly beautiful in its climatic chiming; strong enough to cut through pixelated ennui" - dummy mag
Previous to Origamibiro, Tom Hill had been working with electronica and found-sound sampling through projects such as Wauvenfold and Penfold Plum. Origamibiro's first release, 'Cracked Mirrors and Stopped Clocks' saw a radical return to Tom's classical and electric guitar roots. Performed and produced entirely by Tom, 'Cracked Mirrors' also involved sampling additional atmospheric elements: the creak of his chair, the sound of his breath, the squeak of the wood in his guitar. The result is both intimate and melodic, tangible and atmospheric.
Tom was then looking to translate this music from studio to live environment and enlisted the help of The Joy Of Box (Jim Boxall). Jim had a background in fine art as well as live visuals and had worked with Tom on live shows for Tom's music. Tom had also worked on soundtracks for Jim's
experimental short films. Both Tom and Jim were looking for ways to expand how they could approach live performances and utilise technologies but also retain a sense of fragility, texture, emotion and above all risk. Jim was also looking to make his live visuals more lyrical and generative which fit perfectly with the direction that Tom was taking.
Not long after, Andy Tytherleigh brought his multi-instrumentalist skills (double bass, ukulele, banjo, guitar) to what was now becoming a collective and the trio began to develop ways to bring all of these elements together with live looping techniques. Jim began to use objects and props to film and record live, Tom experimented with sampling found materials to add texture and rhythm to his guitar melodies and Andy layered multiple instruments to add depth and weight to the whole process.
The release of the second album 'Shakkei' saw an expansion in Origamibiro's sound- from an intimate personal space to an expansive terrain ('Shakkei' in fact translates to 'borrowed landscape'). The second album utilised field recordings and even a shared audio journey between Tom's Autumnal footsteps in English woodlands and Jim's muted boot crunch of snowy Eastern European forests. The third album 'Shakkei Remixed' came soon after featuring remixes by a host of artists, reinterpreting Origamibiro's material in further directions still. Origamibiro's live performances also expanded, now involving treated books, typewriters, found celluloid, paper, eerie wildlife recordings, home movies, sellotape and bespoke visual contraptions. All of these things had been added, adapted, even destroyed as a way to generate images and audio that could evoke a feeling, a response, an understanding or perhaps a question from audiences.

C. – The Walter Kaitz Foundation is hosting the third annual program aimed at connecting mid-to-upper level professionals of color with producing, directing and writing/story producing credits in nonfiction/reality, with network and production company executives. "The Hollywood Creative Forum" is being held on Wednesday, April 11th at the Hyatt Regency Century City in Los Angeles and kicks off with an exclusive VIP Reception for attendees at the Creative Artists Agency headquarters on Tuesday, April 10th.
The program incorporates a full day of sessions and "Meet and Greets" with cable network and production company executives and focuses on programming and creative content in the non-fiction and reality genres.

Partners for the event include: Founding Sponsor, Scripps Interactive Networks; Forum Sponsor, NBCUniversal; and Media Partner, CTAM SmartBrief.

We will not have any content on the site other then links and ads to other sites. The ads themselves will be pornographic and the sites that they link to will be pornographic. In the future we plan to build up the site as a directory to other adult sites and strip clubs. But as for now it will just be a site for links and ads for other services.
There will be nothing on there drawing in kids specifically but as of now we do not have a user's agreement.
There will be nothing on there to decipher the age of the people accessing the site.
Are these things that we will need to have in order to avoid any legal issues? Thank you so much for your help, as I am sure you are very busy.

^The fact is that they're barely noticeable throughout the album. As regards singing, I've only traced Elton John's background vocals on Fairweather Friends.
Melody-wise the chorus on I Appear Missing reminds me of Relationship of Command.
Decent song, I was never a massive fan of this band though.
Digging: Brand New - Science Fiction
Album Rating: 4.0lol
