This outfit includes the ultra-versatile AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Optimized to draw full potential from Nikon's high-resolution DX-format image sensors, it delivers beautiful ultra-sharp photos and videos with softly blurred backgrounds. Its versatile 7.8x zoom range (18mm to 140mm) lets you shoot everything from wide-angle family portraits to telephoto close-ups on the sports field. Four stops of VR image stabliization means sharper handheld photos and video, especially when shooting in low light or at maximum focal length. You can even get as close as 1.48-feet from your subject for macro-style close-ups!
Key Features:
Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor
"EXPEED 3" image-processing engine
Spot White Balance -- allows preset of white balance during live view shooting
Active D-Lighting for enhanced image quality
HDR (High Dynamic Range) produces a single image with a wider dynamic range
Picture Control System that creates an ideal image by fine-tuning color and tone
Edge-to-edge sharpness achieved by lateral chromatic aberration reduction/automatic distortion control
Special Effects bring more creative expression with simple operation
Special Effects incorporated in the D7100:
16 options of Scene Modes that let the camera automatically select the best settings for the scene
High-density 51-point AF system that includes compatibility up to f/8
Fifteen cross-type sensors cover the most frequently used center area. The center point performs as a cross-type sensor even at f/8. This enables AF shooting, with the effective aperture value slower than f/5.6 and at f/8 or faster when an AF-S teleconverter is attached to the lens. For example, accurate autofocus is possible with the effective aperture value of f/8 by attaching a 2.0x teleconverter to a telephoto lens with maximum aperture of f/4. By combining a teleconverter with compact and lightweight DX-format system, you can enjoy supertelephoto AF shooting without bulky equipment and expand the photographic opportunities.
Furthermore, when the image area of 1.3x crop of DX is selected, the angle of view becomes equivalent to that of a lens with about double the focal length in 35mm format. As the cropped frame is almost entirely covered by the focus points, the camera demonstrates even more powerful capturing capability. Of the 51 focus points, 11 can be chosen to shoot with, for quicker focus-point selection. Not only phase-detection AF but also contrast-detect AF, which employs image sensor data, during live view shooting or movie recording has become significantly faster than that of the D300S. Whether in still-image shooting or recording movies, the AF system supports accurate and comfortable focusing.
1.3x crop of DX that enables shooting distant subjects without bulky equipment, for both stills and movies
In DX format, the angle of view becomes equivalent to that of a lens with approx. 1.5 times longer focal length. In the newly employed 1.3x crop of DX mode, the angle of view becomes equivalent to that of a lens with approx. 1.3 times longer focal length than in DX format. As a result, the image area becomes equivalent to that of a lens with about double the focal length. With this camera, you can get closer to distant subjects even though it employs a relatively lightweight, compact lens system. In the 1.3x crop of DX mode, the 51 focus points cover nearly the entire frame, attaining extremely high capturing power even when shooting moving subjects.
The 1.3x crop of DX achieves an image size of approx. 15.4 megapixels, a sufficiently high pixel count for general use, which delivers high-resolution images. Combined with high-speed continuous shooting at up to approx. 7 fps enabled in this mode, this camera reliably captures moving subjects. With the D7100's compact, lightweight body that can only be realized by a DX-format DSLR, combined with compact, lightweight lens system, you can travel light but still depend on it to capture decisive moments in high-speed continuous shooting, while precisely acquiring distant subjects with its high-performance AF system.
Never miss the moment, with high-speed continuous shooting up to approx. 6 fps
Faster initial AF detection for quicker focusing, realized by the new algorithm developed for the D4
Scene Recognition System, utilizing the 2016-pixel RGB sensor
High-quality viewfinder optics with approx. 100% frame coverage and glass pentaprism
Setting information becomes easier to view, on the newly employed organic EL viewfinder display element
Virtual horizon makes you aware of horizontal tilting, for vertical shooting too
Wide-viewing-angle, approx. 1229k-dot, 8-cm/3.2-in. LCD monitor
Enjoy more creative expression easily with the built-in flash incorporating a commander function
Compact, lightweight body with superb agility -- lighter than the D7000
Lightweight, magnesium alloy body and weather and dust sealing
Highly durable and precise shutter mechanism tested for 150,000 cycles
Sequential mechanism that contributes to high-speed operation
SD memory card double slots compatible with the the high-speed SDXC UHS-I standard
i button for quick and direct access to various functions
Coaxially located mode dial and release mode dial with dial lock release
Quiet shutter-release mode
Select live view photography or movie live view with the live view selector
Independent control of the mirror delivers smooth shooting with the mirror in the up position in live view. For movie live view, the D7100 incorporates dedicated exposure controls that enable smooth exposure transitions even if the brightness of the scene varies drastically. The setting information display is switched to either that for still images or movies according to the selected live view. You can shoot still images in 16:9 aspect ratio by pressing the shutter-release button during movie live view or movie recording (Movie recording will end and the footage recorded up to that point will be saved).
Wide variety of playback options
Interface cover enhances dust-prevention, weather-resistance
Comfortable operation supported by the superior GUI
Full HD video available up to 1920 x 1080 at 30p/60i/50i
Get incredibly close to distant subjects with the 1.3x crop of DX in Multi-area mode Full HD D-Movie

We've been together 3 months. Anyway, he's never asked for them and my previous boyfriend was a maniac about it. Anyway our convo
Him: I'm sure you look good in your undies.
Me: I don't know... *sent PIC*
Him: I didn't ask for them babe
Me: I know just wanted to know what you thought ;-) *sent comparison PIC*
Him: Pls stop sending me nudes.. Where's this coming from?
Me: I thought you were shy to ask soo you don't like :-(?
Him: You don't need to send me pics I know perfectly well your beautiful
Me: You don't need visual reminders?
Him: Nah I'm fine thanks.
Me: Why are you rejecting it? Kinda hurts
Him: although I appreciate that u trust me with your pics... I could be an ass and show others... You can never trust someone as much as yourself.
Me: So no pics in the future?
Him: I wouldn't recommend
Me: your loss it does seem like your politely rejecting it because you don't want it smh.
I did nice poses just for him and I put effort to wear nice underwear and he didn't want them. I wanna show him his rude he was? Am I being unreasonable?
Most Helpful Guy
I'm not a fan of receiving nudes either. It's an unwanted liability. If I had a daughter I'd tell her not to send nudes so I'm not going to be a hypocrite and tell a girl I'm dating to send them to me. The second you've got nudes online you jeopardize your chances of having a successful career in numerous professions. I've got no negative opinions of women who send nudes but I don't think it's a smart decision. Not to meantion almost every girl I've met looks either significantly better or significantly worse in person. I had an ex who took terrible photos and looked amazing in person. I used to delete her pics as soon as she sent them because they made her look worse than my own memory. Lastly my phone isn't the safest place in the world. All it takes is a friend of mine to get into my phone and boom your nudes can be front page of my fraternities group chat and off onto the Internet for every guy to get off to. I don't like the idea of that. I've never asked for a girl to send me nudes but I've never stopped a girl from doing it either. So I can't say exactly why he asked you not to but there are plenty of reasons why.32|10|0
Most Helpful Girl
He wasn't being rude at all. Some people just don't like the idea of nudes, or sexy pics in general. He politely pointed out that it's not quite his cup of tea and that you should be more careful with pictures like that. I understand that it feels bad that you didn't get the reaction you wanted, but he was in no way being rude, and honestly you're being a bit childish for wanting to "hurt" him just because he politely told you that he's not into it. You can't force him to like something he doesn't like. Don't take it so personally.63|30|0

New York City KoD signing, 11 October 2005 - report by yhoodersEdit
posted at rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan
I went to the kickoff booksigning at Barnes & Noble in NYC today. It was different than last time. There wasn't a large open area, so the line wound around the bookshelves. You weren't able to see RJ until you were actually getting your books signed. The guy in front of me asked about what accents do the seanchan have, and RJ answered that the Seanchan have a southern accent, while the Illianers sound Dutch. He also mentioned that the Tairens have a spanish accent.
So I asked "Is that the Creator speaking at the end of the Eye of the World?" to which RJ answered - "Read and Find Out." I said oh that's a RAFO? Harriet was laughing. Then I asked what would happen if Suian was re-severed and healed by a man, and he answered, Read and Find out.
Oh Well.

Does leading a "healthy lifestyle" really help to prevent hair loss?
Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is a hereditary condition primarily caused by genetic factors. In males and females with a family history of AGA, the process of hair miniaturization can begin as early as the late-teen years.
Even though the heritability of Androgenetic Alopecia is inevitable, there are many steps hair loss sufferers can take to slow down the progression of pattern baldness. It is important to familiarize ourselves with the other factors involved in hair loss so that we can take strides to limit these external effects.
There are countless hair loss treatments on the market today. From pills, capsules, shampoos, serums, hair transplants and laser therapy, if you name it it's out there. Many of these are available with or without prescriptions, over-the-counter and online. Although each product operates with a distinctly different method of action, they all promise the same thing: efficacy.
Nevertheless, some of these treatments are more effective to others. Before investing our money into therapies that have not been proven to work, we can make important lifestyle changes to keep our bodies (and therefore our hair) as healthy as possible.
Let's stop focusing strictly on genetics.
Instead of dwelling on factors beyond our control, we can focus our energy into positive actions that change our lives for the better. To many people, especially those that are just beginning to lose their hair, this advice can often come across as patronizing and extraneous. But even this modest change of perspective can pay extraordinary dividends if we accommodate it into our worldview.
For starters, if we are going to waste time worrying about our hair, we should at least make that time productive. Make the effort to research emerging therapies, chronicle your experiences in a blog, immerse yourself in scientific publications, contact specialists within the industry or join an advocacy group (National Alopecia Areata Foundation, Locks for Love, etc.). It is amazing how the knowledge and experience gained through these actions can ease the frustration and anxiety associated with hair loss.
Another important step is to eat and live healthily. This may sound far too obvious and convenient to be effective, yet many people are surprised to find that simply living a healthier lifestyle can go a long way in strengthening hair growth. Diet and exercise not only prevent hair loss and breakage, they also restore energy and self-esteem (two peripheral problems that arise in tandem with hair loss).
Now, it is a whole lot easier to consider eating well-balanced, nutrition-filled meals than it is to actually maintain a healthy diet (after all, Big Macs, Coke and Chinese takeout are absolutely delicious). Regardless, routinely eating healthy and wholesome foods is a great way to start fighting hair loss. Fast food meals that are high in fat, low in vitamins and high in salt content can damage our kidneys, create acidic blood and cause vitamin deficiencies. These factors weaken hair shafts and follicles, contributing to both fallout and fracture.

The Lammermuir Party of 1866 was a British Protestant Christian group of missionaries to China with the China Inland Mission led by James Hudson Taylor, who were identified with the tea clipper Lammermuir which brought them to China. Mission historians have indicated that this event was a turning point in the history of missionary work in China in the 1800s[1]. This was the largest party of Protestant missionaries to date to arrive at one time on Chinese shores. It was also noteworthy that none of the members of the mission were ordained ministers, and only two had any previous overseas experience. In addition to this there were among them nine unmarried women traveling to a place where single European women were rare for many reasons.
A fast clipper
On the morning of 26 May 1866 the 34 sailors and 18 missionaries with 4 children boarded the Lammermuir which lay tied up to the East India Docks of London. It was only a 2 year old clipper ship with 3 masts and square-rigged sails. Her frame was built of iron and by the standard of the day she was a first class sailing vessel. A voyage halfway around the world would only take 4 months–a fast trip–compared to the 6 month duration of some of the older ships of the decade previous.
Henry Grattan Guinness wrote a hymn in honor of their departure that echoed Hudson Taylor's 1865 book "China's Spiritual Need and Claims":
| Over the dark blue sea, over the trackless flood,
A little band is gone in the service of their God;
Two typhoons
The Lammermuir was nearly wrecked by 2 typhoons before limping into the Shanghai harbor in late September.
Hudson Taylor, the missionary recalled the most perilous time in the voyage:
|"The appearance of things was now truly terrific. Rolling fearfully, the masts and yards hanging down were tearing our only sail... and battering like a ram against the main yard. The deck from forecastle to poop was one scarcely broken sea. The roar of the water, the clanging of chains, the beating of the dangling masts and yards, the sharp smack of the torn sails made it almost impossible to hear any orders that might be given."
Taylor wrote after twelve days of this experience: :
|And for three days after that the danger only increased, as the ship was making water fast. Fires were all out and cooking was impossible. For a time no drinking water was obtainable, and the women as well as the men worked at the pumps. But through it all prayer was so wonderfully answered that no lives were lost or serious injuries sustained.
The badly damaged ship caused a local stir in Shanghai. Emily Blatchley noted,
|Our broken and dismantled condition made us an object of general curiosity; but we, in our hearts, thanked GOD for the great deliverance He had wrought for us in sparing the lives of all on board in such unusual peril-peril arising not only from the oversweeping waters themselves, but from the frequent falling of splintered yards, etc. But although Mr. Taylor had plenty of surgical practice with severe bruises and such-like hurts, not one life was lost, nor were any limbs broken. It is needless to say there were many narrow escapes. A vessel came in soon after we did, which had passed through the same typhoon, but only six lives remained out of twenty-two; sixteen had been drowned! It was well that we got in on the day we did, for they had some terribly stiff gales outside, which in our disabled condition we could scarcely have weathered.[2]

Published August 17, 1995
Oakland Coliseum Board Member Dennis Cuneo yesterday announced that Muhleman Marketing, Inc., of Charlotte, NC, has been retained to oversee the marketing efforts of the Oakland Football Marketing Association. Marc Ganis will now assume the role of Senior Policy Advisor (OFMA). BAY AREA ROUND-UP: In Oakland, David Li writes, "With less than three weeks remaining until the Oakland Raiders kick off the regular season, Coliseum officials Wednesday handed their troubled sales program to North Carolina sports marketing whiz Max Muhleman." Hoping to "quell" complaints from ticket-buying fans, Muhleman vowed to sell all tickets and protect taxpayers from stadium costs: "We believe it will happen. This is going to be a dynamite package." At least 80% of the PSLs must be sold before the '96 season to retire the $225M in bonds (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 8/17). A report in the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE noted, "A new marketing team brought in to stem a rising tide of anger and confusion over the Oakland Raiders' ticket plan attempted yesterday to shore up public confidence but failed to directly address concerns about whether the sales were producing promised revenues" (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, 8/17). NOT THE FALL GUY: Ganis has denied being a "fall guy" in the Raiders' PSL campaign, according to the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS. Ganis: "That would infer that I'm being pushed out and there's no pushing out here. ... I asked for this. I'm more into the policy and strategy mode" (Kouty & Witt, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 8/17).

5 - 2 Final
Bruins down Leafs to take 2-1 series leadMay 7, 2013 - 4:17 AM
Nathan Horton had a goal and an assist while Daniel Paille, Rich Peverley and Adam McQuaid also scored for the Bruins, who now hold a 2-1 lead in this best-of-seven series after splitting the first two games in Boston.
"I think, as a team, we played a good road game," Krejci said. "Maybe we didn't have as many chances in Game 1, but I think it was a perfect road game and I'm pretty happy about that."
Jake Gardiner and Phil Kessel had the goals for the Maple Leafs, who were playing their first home playoff games in nine years. James Reimer gave up four goals on 37 shots in the loss.
"We made some mistakes that ended up in our net and when you do that you end up on the wrong side of the score," said Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle. "I'm not taking away from them because they earned it, but we gave them some grade A scoring chances and they took advantage."
Game 4 of this series is set for Wednesday night in Toronto.
The only goal of the first period went to the Bruins, as a faceoff win from the right circle had the puck come back to the point, where McQuaid fired a knuckler past Reimer for his first-ever playoff goal at 13:42.
Rask, who made 13 stops in the first period, made a huge save five minutes into the second when he used the left pad to stop a Joffrey Lupul chance on a 2-on-1.
Less than a minute later, the Bruins padded their lead. Jaromir Jagr stole the puck from Toronto's Ryan O'Byrne to the left of the Maple Leafs' net and skated to the other side. Jagr then used a short pass to get it to Peverley, who snapped it home for a 2-0 lead.
The Bruins caught a break with nine minutes to play in the second, as the Leafs' Dion Phaneuf caught the post with a left-point slap shot that had beaten Rask.
However, the Leafs finally got on the board while on the power play at the 13:45 mark of the frame, as a weak Boston clearing attempt up the middle was picked up by Gardiner, who wristed it home for a 2-1 game.
Just 50 seconds later, though, the Bruins got the goal back when Milan Lucic skated around a defender down the left wing and passed it to the right, where Horton one-timed it in.
The Bruins made it a 4-1 game while shorthanded late in the second, with Paille stealing a Kessel pass in the neutral zone and skating in on a clear break before putting a backhander into the left corner of the net with 3:23 to play in the period.
Toronto got some life with a power play goal just 47 seconds into the third. With Rask out of the net after playing a shot, Kessel swept in the rebound from in front for a 4-2 contest.
The Leafs had the puck down low and several chances during a 4-on-4 halfway through the final period, but couldn't put any through.
Toronto failed to get any closer the rest of the way, as Rask made 18 stops in the frame and Krejci iced the win on an empty-netter with 1:17 to play.
Game Notes
It was the first playoff game at Air Canada Centre since May 4, 2004, when Philadelphia's Jeremy Roenick scored in overtime to lift the Flyers to a series-clinching victory in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals ... Lucic had three assists in the game ... This is the 14th time that these Original Six teams have met in the postseason, but first since Boston swept Toronto in the opening round of the 1974 playoffs ... Toronto went 2-for-5 on the power play, while Boston was 0-for-3.

TULSA, Okla. – Freshman Luisa Stefani, of the Pepperdine women's tennis team, defeated her opponent in two sets this Saturday morning to advance to the NCAA Singles Championships semifinals at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.
The sixth-ranked and seventh-seeded freshman downed 28th-ranked Kennedy Shaffer of Georgia with a 6-1, 6-4 final decision. As a result, Stefani becomes the second Wave in Pepperdine women's tennis program history to reach the NCAA Singles Championships semifinals, and first since the 1989 campaign when 2015 Pepperdine Hall of Fame inductee Noelle Porter-Radnoti achieved the feat.
Stefani dominated the first set over Shaffer, commanding a 6-1 result heading into the second set. Although the opposition moved forward to a 3-1 advantage in the second set, Stefani battled back to tie the set 3-3. After a 4-4 tie, the freshman moved forward to a 5-4 lead and clinched the semifinal berth after besting Shaffer 6-4.
Stefani has posted a 40-5 overall record throughout the 2015-16 campaign. She holds an 18-3 record in tournament play and went 22-2 in the 2016 dual season. She has gone 26-4 against nationally ranked opponents and enters the semifinal matchup on a 12-match winning streak.
Stefani will go head-to-head with second-ranked Danielle Collins of Virginia tomorrow (May 29) at 10 a.m. PT (12 p.m. CT). Along with Stefani and Collins, the other side of the final four include top-ranked Hayley Carter of North Carolina and eighth-ranked Sinead Lohan of Miami (Fla.).

Peel Microcars Have An Unlikely Ally (Video After The Jump)
Looking like a human-sized version of a Zhu Zhu pet car, Peel Microcars sold their wares for a brief period in the 1960's, and cars like the Murray T25 and Smart Fortwo seem to be able to trace their lineage back to the Peel.
Powered by a 50cc moped engine, the Peel was not fast and its three-wheeled nature meant that there were some issues regarding how road-legal it could be. But for all its faults, the Peel has attracted an unlikely supporter, and as you'll see below, he might be on to something.

CMS to Surveyors: Certain Infection Control Breaches Warrant Referral to Authorities
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued a Memorandum (Infection Control Breaches Which Warrant Referral to Public Health Authorities) to State Survey Agency (SA) Directors outlining specific infection control breaches that, when identified by either state surveyors or accrediting organization (AO) surveyors, should be referred to state authorities for public health assessment and management. The instructions outlined in the Memorandum are effective immediately. Certain infection control breaches pose a risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission and warrant referral to public health authorities in order that appropriate risk assessment and - when necessary - patient notification can be conducted. These are outside the authority of CMS, and the agency is therefore providing guidance to SAs and AOs on appropriate steps that must be taken to correct the deficient practices and ensure that responsible state authorities are notified. The memo directs SAs to consult with their state's Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) Prevention Coordinator or State Epidemiologist to identify the preferred referral process for such breaches. AOs are expected to refer such breaches to the appropriate state public health contact.

NAHC Announces Keynote Speakers for NAHC Annual Meeting
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is pleased to announce three new high-profile speakers for its Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 19 - 22, 2014. Featured speakers include Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), Chairman, Senate Finance Committee; former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords; and her husband, astronaut and retired U.S. Navy captain Mark Kelly.
"We are honored and delighted to have Chairman Wyden join us at our annual Meeting," said NAHC President Val J. Halamandaris. "And we are proud to bring our members two of our nation's most-respected heroes — Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly."
Senator Ron Wyden is scheduled to speak Sunday, October 19, 2014. He is the senior U.S. Senator for Oregon, serving since 1996, and a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served from 1981 to 1996. Whether he's taking on powerful interests, listening to constituents at one of his famous town hall meetings, or standing up for Oregonians on the Senate floor, Wyden is an effective leader on issues that matter most. He now serves on the Committees on Finance, Budget, and Intelligence, along with the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. He is also chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and ranking Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords is known across the country for her resilience in the face of violence, and for her consensus-building leadership in Congress. First elected to Arizona's 8th Congressional District seat in 2006, she went on to win re-elections in 2008 and 2010. Then, on January 8, 2011, a would-be assassin opened fire at a local event in Tucson, where Giffords was meeting with constituents. Six people were killed, and 13 others were injured in the attack. Among the injured was Giffords, who sustained a gunshot wound to the head and faced immediate neurosurgery to treat her life-threatening injuries. She resigned her Congressional seat in January 2012 but has gone on to lobby for public safety and share her story nationwide.
Mark Kelly is an American astronaut, retired U.S. Navy captain, bestselling author, prostate cancer survivor, and experienced naval aviator who flew combat missions during the Gulf War. As an astronaut, he flew his first of four missions in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, the same space shuttle that he commanded on its final flight in May 2011. He has also commanded Space Shuttle Discovery and is one of only two individuals who have visited the International Space Station on four different occasions. The mantra of the space program has long been "Failure is not an option." And he has seen the true meaning of the phrase right at home as watches his wife's relentless work to make the world a better place.
Giffords and Kelly are scheduled to speak on Sunday, October 19, 2014. For a taste for what's in store, read their bestselling memoir, Gabby, in which they share their story of hope and resilience with the world. This inspiring account has topped multiple bestseller lists, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon. Together, Giffords and Kelly show the power of the human spirit to overcome obstacles and succeed against the odds.
Additional keynote speakers are still being finalized.

You have two sons. The oldest is thirteen year old Brent. The youngest is Bryan who turned ten today. Bryan is having a birthday party. Bryan's friends grabbed him and gave him a birthday spanking - a rather hard one but Bryan endured it well. However, Bryan made it abundantly clear that he wanted no more birthday spankings.
You hear a commotion and look over and see Brent and Bryan.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

(Notice Brent is holding his hand over Bryan's mouth.)
Bryan is now angry. Brent says it was all in fun. Bryan says it wasn't fun though. Brent says it wasn't fair that he didn't get to participate in the birthday spanking so he decided to give Bryan one from him.
What do you do? Will there be more unwanted spankings today?

Riad Kniza made every dream of Marrakech come true !.From the moment they met us at the airport until our safe return back to the airport. The Riad Kniza was exactly what we dreamed a riad stay would be. All of the staff is so well trained they are there to handle every little detail and yet we felt we had complete privacy when we wanted it. The Riad was immaculately clean every where. On arrival we were seated in a beautiful air conditioned salon and served tea while the check in process was finished.They arranged for an English speaking guide and car for our trip to the Atlas mountains as well as for day trips through the City. Having a guide saved us from so much stress and he was fun. After the chaotic energy of the City, coming back to the tranquility and pool at the Kniza was the balance we needed.

About the Book
"Character is what you are in the dark."
A collection of photographs exploring the hidden spaces of Carleton College, Character in the Dark illustrates the unusual writings, artwork, and scenery from a side of campus most students never have the chance to see.
From basement electrical vaults to secret side rooms, attic crawlspaces to the now-closed tunnel network, the book embodies the strange juxtaposition of industrial machinery and abandoned artifacts embedded in every part of the school. Through samples of poetry, artwork, and graffiti it conveys some of the history and unique identity of student life at Carleton.

It's the question on everyone's mind. How could the parents not know what Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were up to?
Linda Pollock, a neighbor of Harris' says, "With all fairness to them as far as being a parent and raising teen-agers, you can't know everything all the time."
The fact is, as CBS News Correspondent Richard Schlesinger reports, teen-agers everywhere keep a lot of their lives secret.
The Webne Family in Alexandria, Va. is about as close as any family with teenage children can be. Ben Webne is 18 years old, gets good grades and has been accepted to a top college. Like a lot of his friends, he lives a large part of his life in a world his parents know almost nothing about.
He says his parents are probably aware of about 60 percent of what's going on in his life - which means there's 40 percent that they don't know about. Another high school student, Tracy Tilghamm, says "I know my mom has been through a rough time, and I'm like, my problems aren't as big as hers right now."
What happens in that secret world known only to teenagers?
Sociologist Barbara Schneider of the University of Chicago, explored that world for five years with more than 7,000 teen-agers. "I don't think for the most part most adolescents are in deep trouble," she says.
"Some parents, when kids get to be 16, start feeling they're becoming adults, they're becoming responsible, they're on their own," says Schneider. "And they pull back and they stop parenting in a lot of ways."
In fact, Schneider's research shows most teen-agers rely on their parents for emotional support even while they keep their secrets.
Patrick Egan is Ben Webne's classmate. He says he shares 60 percent of his life with his father, but he's reluctant to talk to his dad about life behind the scenes. So what's in that 40 percent of his life that his father doesn't know?
"Like close personal relationships that kind of stuff," says Egan. "You know, like after school, sometimes after a show, for example, we'll all go out to a party or go hang out somewhere. He doesn't have to worry like that because he knows he trusts me."
Most kids can be trusted. Still, those two in Littleton were apparently able to buy all those guns and build all those bombs right under their parents' noses.
Barbara Webne, Ben's mother, says, "I've thought about that since Littleton. And the fact that they said these children had guns in their bedroom, well, you know I wouldn't know if they had guns in their bedrooms. I just have to assume that from what we know about them and how we raise them they're not going to have guns in their bedrooms."
And even kids who would never get guns or ombs say it could be done.
Egan says, "I don't plan on trying to, but I'm sure that if I really wanted to I could find... I could get my hands on a gun." Without his father knowing? "Yes, because me and him can go for quite a while without actually seeing each other."
Most times, according to experts, teens' secrets are as mundane as everyday life. But there are obvious warning signs that something is wrong -- low grades, aggressive behavior -- and every parent should notice them, if they are paying attention.

* South Korea will make seven state-run companies repay $1.6 billion of their foreign debt ahead of schedule this year, the Economic Planning Board said. The measure is necessary to counter the threat of inflation caused by an excessive money supply, an official said. The foreign debt of state-run companies accounted for 26.8 percent of South Korea's total foreign debt of $33.74 billion.
* Kuwait signed a contract to buy 40 F-18 Hornet jet fighters from the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, the official Kuwait News Agency said. The agency, quoting a Defense Ministry statement, said the deal included air-to-surface missiles and auxiliary equipment. Earlier this month, Kuwait modified the $1.9 billion arms deal with the United States because of opposition in Congress.
* Uganda has once again obtained United States guarantees of medium-term credit facilities, which had been halted more than 10 years ago, United States Embassy officials in Kampala said.

Equity options is a derivative product where investors bet on future value of stocks or their indices and SEBI is against mutual funds getting into the hedging business
A committee of market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will consider the issue of restricting mutual funds (MFs) from selling an equity product that involves betting on future prices, reports PTI.
The SEBI Mutual Fund Advisory Committee is concerned that this is not mutual funds' core activity and may take a decision on 31st May.
Equity options is a derivative product where investors bet on future value of stocks or their indices and SEBI is against mutual funds getting into the hedging business, as it could suffer losses.
In a letter sent to all fund houses recently, the market watchdog had sought proposals from asset management companies (AMCs), regarding selling of equity options and an increased disclosure of their investment in this segment, sources in fund houses said.
Mutual funds have already submitted their view to the market regulator and they may be reviewed at the SEBI's Mutual Fund Advisory Committee meeting scheduled at the end of the month.
"The MF industry body Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) has already submitted its views in consultation with industry players. The proposal would be discussed at the meeting on 31st May," a SEBI source said on condition of anonymity.
The market regulator on its part wants the fund houses to control the risk exposure and clearly demarcate their risky exposure, he added.
Industry players said, "SEBI has been looking at ways and means of regulating distribution of MF products and also MFs investment in derivatives."
The steps are part of SEBI's move to control the risk taken by MFs, analysts said.
Selling an option usually involve huge losses as the underwriter gets exposed to unlimited risks when the market becomes volatile or collapses or hits the upper circuit.
"The objective of the market regulator could be to ensure that MFs can hedge by buying options, but they should not underwrite the option as it is not the core business of MFs to take risk this way," an analyst at a brokerage house said.
In order to increase accountability on the part of fund houses, the market regulator had last week asked AMCs to disclose the details of investor complaints on websites, as well as in annual reports.
Now all AMCs will have to put up the data for the bygone fiscal by 30 June 2010 and for each new fiscal within two month of the close of the fiscal year.
In order to increase investor interest in MFs, the market regulator had last year abolished entry load and asked fund houses not to deduct marketing and distribution charges from the investment made by customers.
Both the 2008 economic meltdown and the Vietnam fiasco have some eerie parallels.

It has been fifty years since the death of Avatar Korra. In her youth, she quelled the Equalists' attempts to start an Anti-Bending revolution by defeating Amon in combat, and for the remainder of her life there was peace in the world. The United Republic of Nations and its thriving capital, Republic City, was restored by Korra to the utopia Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko had intended, and for many decades the newest nation continued to flourish and progress technologically.
After Avatar Korra's death, however, unrest began. After Korra defeated Amon it was thought that the Equalists had disappeared forever, but that assumption was wrong. The Equalist movement had taken a blow but it wasn't dismantled, and what was left of the group moved their operations underground to plan and wait. The Equalist cause was helped greatly by the fact that with the introduction of science and technology, there was a huge decrease in the exploration of spirituality and the effect of that was that less and less Benders were being born. People's beliefs in the spirits were now being replaced by explanations of science and most Benders felt as if the physical world had been forgotten by the spirits because of mankind's blind pursuit of technology which was ultimately the pursuit for power.
Not long after Avatar Korra's death the Equalist movement covertly reemerged and took advantage of the time they would have until the world met their new and fully realized Avatar. Their numbers continued to grow and within a short period of five years they were considered the legitimate political faction of non-benders. Chairman Hectus, a member of the Republic Council and Party Head for the Equalists proposed a law to ban bending within city limits on the grounds of property damage, corruption among benders (ex: Triple Threat Triads), and the threat of danger that was accompanied with bending and its impact on the non-bending community. Protests flared up all over the United Republic by benders and non-benders alike and slowly but surely the United Republic of Nations started to heavily favor non-benders and shun benders.
Tensions were so high between benders and non-benders that all it took was one incident to spark the fires of war. A Bender had used his abilities against a non-bender in a highly publicized incident, and within hours riots broke out all over the United Republic. The Equalists took advantage of the chaos, and along with the huge population of non-benders within the city, they forced out the benders and overthrew the Republic Council, and the 'Purge' began. Most Benders that had been living in the United Republic of Nations at that time didn't escape alive. Armed with innovative weapons, chi blocking techniques, and overwhelming numbers, the Equalists had reemerged and successfully taken over the United Republic. The world was on the brink of war again but this time it was benders versus non-benders, spirituality versus science, and equality versus balance.
The Republic first struck the Fire Nation. The scientific ingenuity of the Republic was their main advantage in combat and with the invention of flame-retardant cloth they had fashioned uniforms from the same material. The once almighty Firebenders found themselves at a disadvantage to mere humans. Harpoon Tasers would pierce a bender's skin and send thousands of watts of electricity through the body, the pain was so overwhelming it was impossible for them to concetrate on bending. A true Bending Master's concentration could sometimes deal with the volts and still manage to free themselves but Bending Masters are scarce in this modern era. The Republic wanted revenge for the past transgressions of the Fire Nation and ravaged the archipelago nation. Firebenders were dangerously close to extinction and with only a handful of masters left the Nation reluctantly declared war and asked for aid, with the combined forces of the other four nations they repelled the invading force but not without heavy losses.
The United Republic of Nations saw the combined effort against them as a declaration of an alliance between the other nations and now it wasn't only war against the Fire Nation it was war versus all bending nations. The Republic Council changed the name from the United Republic of Nations to the Republic State of Equality and began to amass their military.
Meanwhile, the White Lotus society prepared the other four nations to defend themselves and started an alliance called 'The Allied Nations Restoration Concordat" and eventually the ancient society of Bending Masters were now active-duty generals forced to fight for the survival of their people, and the time honored tradition of bending. They were simultaneously fighting a war and also searching for the new Avatar. The White Lotus was hoping to find the new Avatar quickly so they could begin their training early as the world's hostility worsened. They hoped that by the time the new Avatar had mastered the elements they could bring about natural peace as quickly as possible. Not only that, for the Avatar's protection.
The Republic searched just as tirelessly for the new Avatar as the White Lotus society, but for opposite reasons. Benders were difficult enough to neutralize and now that the Equalists' cause had finally reached a world wide scale the only thing left standing in their way would be the combination of all four elements in one person. That power would be difficult to contain but the largest threat considered by Republic Propaganda Officials would be the Avatar's return spiritually. The Spirits were being forgotten, they were being considered old made up tales, false religion, people considered them the past. The last thing even close to a spirit anyone had seen in the past 100 years was Avatar Korra. Aang's fusion with a spirit and the eventual defeat of the Fire Navy at the Northern Water Tribe was considered exaggerated mythology at Republic City University and throughout most of the Republic State of Equality. People who believed in the spirits were now the ones being ridiculed in town squares.
The next Avatar, who was supposed to be born an Earthbender, was never found or revealed. Some believe he perished during the Purge as an infant, some believe that he is afraid of the power of the new United Republic, and some believe that even the Avatar Spirit has abandoned mankind. After all these years, people are starting to accept the world and its current state as normal but just as the night is darkest before the dawn a small child of hope is born in a tiny home, on a small island, just as the sun begins to rise on a beautiful new day.
