Grassroots ballot initiative set to make California colleges free
by Ramon Solis
Higher education in California just might be easier to reach. A group of high school students from two Oakland high schools have started a ballot initiative to make undergraduate tuition free at the University of California and the California State University. To qualify, undergraduate students must maintain at least a 2.7 GPA or commit 70 hours of community service.
The initiative would increase taxes on those making $250,000 or more from 9.3 to 10 percent. Taxes on those making over $500,000 would also increase from 9.3 to 11 percent.

This planter is ideal for growing potatoes by your back door or on the patio. It is sturdy and colourful and can be easily packed away until the following year.There are two handles to help manoeuvrability and four drainage holes to avoid water logging.Made from recycled fish feed bags in Cambodia by a member of the World's Fair Trade Organisation, which provides support to trafficked women and children.44.5 x 29.5 x 29.5cmChoice of two colours, blue or red
The first job is to chit your potatoes, any time from Feb to May. Ideally use seed potatoes which are guaranteed to be disease-free, but you can try with spuds from your greengrocer. Egg boxes are ideal for chitting. Leave them in a cool dry spot and when they start to shoot you're good to go.Add a layer of broken bricks or gravel to the bottom of the planter then half fill with compost. Evenly space four potatoes, eyes up, and then fill almost to the top with compost. When leaves appear, fill any remaining space in the planter with compost and water occasionally. A weekly soak is better than a daily shower.The shoots will die back if they get too cold, so if there is a frost forecast cover for the night with a fleece or sack.If you like small potatoes, harvest as soon as they flower. If you prefer them larger, wait a week or two after flowering.

severed appendages that still function ae excellent !
what a monster
send fi de hacksawhttp://www.luckymojo.com/archangel-m...-holy-card.jpg
theres an octopus in a tank at my airport. i thought it was an odd place to keep an octopus, but apparantly it was rescued and now lives there happily and has done for years.
smart as dogs them things. saw on a documentary once, a guy was keeping an octopus in a tank, and had its food swimming in a tank across the room... one day he noticed fish going missing from the live food tank, he couldnt work it out.. he thought it must have been the crabs in the tank immediately connected to the fish so he set up a camera. turns out it was an octopus every night... as soon as he turned the light out, the octopus would squeeze through a hole in the top of the tank no bigger than a golfball, slime across the lab floor (a good 6 meters) crawl up into the fish tank, eat its fill and return to its own tank by morning. it could have slid out often left open windows and over the balcony into the sea, but why would it want to do that with food on demand?
back on subject... squid, the local marine biologists have been trying to catch live giant squid young near here for a few years now.. they want to breed the things in a big tank. freaky.
Cform man, your story is fucken ace! i have told everyone about it, so so cool the octopus
interestingOriginally Posted by _cform
i guess it's a survival thing
food there... eat it now
might not be there later
i would like to see a giant squid do it...
except it would be more like squid squeezes out of tank, goes out across road, flattens a car, then a bus as it travels, pulls up next to burger king lifts lid off, eats its fill, returns to its tank squashing 2 more cars on its travels.

It now with Republican congressman Jason -- fits of you talk he joins us now to talk about the speech that trip and much more congressman thanks for your time today.
-- -- -- right I did -- Robert Gibbs who was Press Secretary to White House for sometime now senior advisors the Obama campaign.
You know when a call to reporters before this Romney trip really laid out some guidelines -- that.
We need to see what -- -- foreign policy is we need to see how he -- if he does at all from the current administration with respect Israel the pressure is on him.
Two draw some bright minds out there but Romney has repeatedly said when I am -- overseas when -- a foreign trip I'm not gonna criticized US policy.
How does he walk that fine line do you think he did it in this speech.
Well it as we just saw governor Romney -- figure is a very presidential.
He was your crystal clear to our -- and the rest of the world.
That the United States stands clearly with Israel there's there is no doubt for the world.
That we will stand behind our friends in Israel and that we cannot and should not.
Allow the Iranians to have the nuclear capability that is detrimental to the world and it is crystal clear that on day one this'll be a priority for president Romney.
He did say that any and all measures with respect to that with respect to Iran's nuclear program.
-- should be on the table he did emphasize as his senior advisors have during this trip as well.
That the -- is and he said his fervent hope during the speech is that diplomatic and economic measures would be enough.
To tie the hands of -- running into would seek to produce nuclear weapons.
Company said everything is still on the table do you think that goes a step farther does it sound very much like what President Obama has set.
Well I think we as a nation need to do everything to signal Tehran and the rest of the world.
That there is no doubt that we cannot allow the Iranians to achieve nuclear capability.
There are those of us in congress that believe the President Obama is on a mission and in a trajectory that it would allow for just the containment in appeasement.
That is not the direction that we should be going so Mitt Romney is making it crystal clear we cannot allow the Iranians even have this capability.
It containment is not good enough you have to make sure that they don't have this capability.
-- mr.
Romney talked many times during the speech about these similarities between Israel and the US he talked about the fact that.
We both believe in democracy and in freedom freedom of expression and many other things.
Israel many times is viewed as being one of the only.
-- nations in that region that most closely mirrors the US.
He said the alliance goes beyond just nearly a strategic alliance sound but our underlying values are the same.
How -- -- absolutely we will have great economic ties between the United States and Israel.
We have it a desire for peace and prosperity in the world it is the one democracy in the region we ought to be able to protect that.
I can't imagine what would happen here in the United States of America we have literally thousands of of bombs and weapons being -- put into our American cities eight yet and Israel deals with this every single day I've been there I've seen it I felt that I can't believe that they put up with.
Just this simple idea that they should have a great right to exist as a Jewish state is something.
That there are other parts of the they're neighbors that are surrounding them a question of course they have the right.
And should be living there as a Jewish state so.
There is a deep seated connection with us on every level -- economic from the way with a form of government in to democracy.
And the pursuit of freedom freedom of the press the opportunity even here as governor Romney talked about to hear about opposing sides and and have a free discussion in the world.
But let there be no doubt Israel is our greatest of friends.
And we cannot allow the Iranians to do what they want to do which is wipe Israel off of the face of the planet.
-- you -- Republican congressman Jason tickets thank you for your time today.
They -- thank you.

The Plot and Setting
A sandbox style crime drama centred around the Hutchinson family of London's east end. There isn't really an overarching plot other than survival. The main reason of the roleplay is to examine the damaged relationships of the family as they strive to survive in a world of crime, betrayal, adultery and lies.
As stated earlier, most of the rp will be played in modern day London however there will be chances to venture out of the city to…well anywhere you want as in this world, crime pays.
The Story So Far...
Syd Hutchinson was a man to be feared but he wasn't always that way. He was born a meek and quiet boy in London's east end. However, young Sydney had it rough. He never met his birth father and was never claimed by any man as his own. His mother was a hard girl "prostitute" and brought a different man home every night. Occasionally the patrons would beat on her and try as he might when he would step in, Syd could do nothing about it. When Sydney entered his teenage years, WW2 broke out. Seeing a chance to escape he enlisted and never returned home to London until the war was over. When he returned, he found his mother had died several months earlier after picking up a particularly vicious punter. However, meek little Syd was gone; the war had changed him.
Unable to find steady work, Syd took to theft and then eventually he made a friendship with another young war vet, Jerry Docherty. If Syd was the brains, then Jerry was most certainly the brawn. The Hutchinson/Docherty partnership was a fruitful one and over the course of several decades, the two began to build their own criminal empire. Syd also met and fell in love with Jerry's sister Molly. Syd had big plans for their growing family and decided to cut Jerry out of the picture, killing him in cold blood whilst he was at a barbers shop. This little event is often mythicized in London's underworld and it gave Syd a new nickname "The Barber".
Molly and Syd went on to have a large family late on in their lives. They had twelve children, all of whom would eventually wind up somehow involved in the family business. Syd's operation was mostly conducted out of his favourite bar "The Stag and Crown" where he spent the latter part of his life. Over the course of his long life, Syd had become a proper east end villain. His legend was ended surprisingly by the hand of his own son. After a particularly heated argument with his eldest daughter, Syd attempted to push the girl. However Paddy, his oldest son, was having none of it and punched his father in the head. Syd fled to the Stag and Crown but collapsed outside the door, suffering a brain haemorrhage from the punch.
After serving a short prison sentence for manslaughter over the death of his father, Paddy would take Syd's place as head of the family and ever since then; the Hutchinson's have risen to new and frightening heights in the criminal underworld. Operating out of the newly completed and extremely lavish "Hotel Britannia" the Hutchinson family rule the streets of London with an iron fist but their power is not without great personal cost…

There is a saying in many chemistry labs that "a month in the lab can save you an hour in the library". The man too busy to learn wastes time. Sure, it is difficult and expensive to teach people the appropriate skills. The question is, can you afford *not* to? We're now in an era where scientific computing resources can cost millions of dollars. Is it really a savings to avoid personnel costs at the expense of projects costing vastly more money or even being unachievable because someone doesn't see that an algorithm can be converted from O(n^4) to O(n^2), or doesn't even understand what big-O notation means? The resource constrained are in an even worse situation. If you have barely any cash to spend on resources, you really need to make that cash count. > There are ten times as many problems and projects and groups where one > is lucky to be able to afford enough grad students to barely keep your > research moving, buy computers with money that you dragged out of a > reluctant grant agency, and that you can only run at all because your > University provides electricity and housing for them because your grant > literally couldn't afford to pay the power bill once the above are paid > for. I know many people who claim they're too busy to do time management of their day, which of course means they waste more time than they've saved by avoiding doing planning. It is not very different to see people with limited resources saying they can't afford to figure out how to make optimal use of them. The man with $3M to burn on computers needs to understand how to use them properly so as not to waste money, but the man with $5000 *really* needs to understand how to use them properly because that's going to make the difference in getting something done *at all*. The difference between the right algorithm and the wrong one is the difference between running a mediocre cut down version of your problem over the course of six months and running a reasonable version in one. This doesn't apply to people who are just running pre-written software, that's a different story, but if you need custom code, you need the people designing the software to understand the problem, and at least some of the people who understand the problem to understand how to design software.

Anastasia really has made such a difference to my eyebrows. Since I went blonde and lightened by brows I've had to change up the products I use because they were all too dark for my new look. I went to Anastasia for a brow shaping and did a little shopping when I discovered the Lash Lifting Mascara and this amazing Brow Pen! It blends in really nicely on the skin and hair and looks really natural, and it's water-based so it's super easy to take off at the end of the day, which is important for me because I'm usually so tired at night I just wanna get my makeup off quickly and get ro bed, haha!! It comes in a Universal Light shade for blonde to light brown hair and a Universal Deep shade for dark brown to black hair… I bought both, just in case I decide to go back to black, haha! You can get the Brow Pen at Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora.com and Nordstrom.com.

yeah t, if you log into your account on wcg site, go under profile and there is a check box for showing host. Check it. The go back onto freedc and click your name on the stats list. You will see your rigs listed under the daily bar graph thingy.
damn thats even better then I expected. That thing just may break 200k once it's fully spooled up in the next few days.
This is just from the GPUs, right? If so--that's particularly amazing--still several hours left to go in the WCG day and you've already done 1 mil WCG points I think in the coming days you could hit 200k easy :eek
Or if I try to load 4 WUs per card Yep, all GPU from this rig. Makes me wish I could put another 7970 in it to take advantage of the other three threads from the CPU.
The small contribution that the CPU does is negligible, remember that each GPU WU needs one "core" so 3 GPU running 3 WU each takes 9 "cores" Edit: As Mad said
10,787,717 Up another million points from yesterday! #7 in the big pie! Still #1 in the HCC competition by a huge margin!
I knew TPU would do some high score. and we see how people are involved Now, it's time to reach 11 mill
Awesome! 207K yesterday from all three rigs, and 196K was from the main PC. AND it's running more WUs stable since I disabled Crossfire.
Your rig is currently #7 in the world in credit per day stats! http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/host/list/12/0/0 You will be in the Top 5 easy within a few days
In the world? Padon my language, but HOLY CRAP!!! My kids' rig is a 3570K with a GTX 280 in it, and my Windows Home Server is a Phenom II X4 910.
Today is going to be terrible for me I've had so much down time fiddling with everything and try to make it better, but it all just ended up being a gigantic headache. sorry guys
10,488,107 Another phenomenal ten-million+ day! #7 in the big pie tonight! Still #1 by an ever-widening margin!
Update- t_ski's rig is in the Top 5 as of Today!!! *apparently reaching that spot in a couple of days was a conservative estimate http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/host/list/12/0/0 Great work Today Team!!! Another Bonus- we just squeaked by SETI.Germany tonight for 22nd place in the WCG Team rankings!
His rig is #5 by points/day in the world, and he's already ~120 in the world by RAC. I'd say once his RAC has time to catch up with PPD, he could be top-50 easy!

• sinks in quick for 24 hour hydration
• gives your skin a soft moisturised glow
• rich in aloe vera, it's the perfect after-sun treatment
Use daily on hands, legs, arms, everywhere; this will become your favourite body moisturiser. You will love how it is so rich but quickly absorbed, nourishing but light to make your skin feel silky soft, beautifully touchable and smelling gorgeous.
Hot Tip
Omega Super-rich Body Cream is also a wonderful after-sun cream (especially with such a high level of Aloe Vera). Our kids love it on scaly winter skin. Even husbands have been known to steal it, too. Try and discourage them; this one is especially for you.
How it works
If you are looking for the perfect body cream that will be rich but quickly absorbed, nourishing but light to make your skin feel silky soft and beautifully touchable and gorgeously fragrant, your search is now officially over!
We know from personal experience that dry skin is a constant irritation. So our challenge was to create the perfect body cream that would do more than simply 'mask' the dryness but would really change the appearance and health of your skin. So we used all our experience gleaned over the years of creating pregnancy skincare – which is as tough a challenge as you will ever get, trust us. This experience has proven consistently that to help skin feel nourished, strong, elastic, and FIT, you need to feed it the superfood it craves. And that superfood is Omega 3, 6 and 9, as found in the Avocado, Evening Primrose and Rosehip Seed Oils in Super-rich Body Cream.
Made my skin super soft and silky and a fresh scent perfect for when its warm enough to get your legs out!!Bedford
It smells wonderful (all day long), has lots of lovely ingredients and is beautifully moisturising-like being cocooned, absolutely obsessed with it!London
Smells wonderful and leaves my skin feeling soft with all this winter central heating and stretching as my bump gets bigger.London
This cream smells divine. It makes my skin super soft and is a real pampering treat!! I love to slather it on after a hot steamy bath as it soaks beautifully into my skin. For all those super mums out there - this is a super product and deserves to take pride of place in any bathroom!!Woking
OMega Super-rich Body Cream is packed with high levels of all these massively moisturising and nourishing ingredients.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice wonderful for healing, calming, cooling, intense moisture and protection for skin; amazing for relief from itching or sunburn.
Shea Butter most potent healing butter which helps restore skin tone and provides a protective barrier to lock in moisture; it contains a form of natural latex which helps build elasticity in skin to stave off wrinkles.
Evening Primrose Oil enriched with Omega 3 and 6, restoring the natural balance.
Sweet Almond Oil full of Omega 3, 6 and 9; highly
moisturising and quickly absorbed, leaving a soft sheen on the skin with no residue.
Avocado Oil extremely nourishing and rich in antioxidants and Omegas, this oil is deeply penetrating with Vitamins D and E, excellent for regenerating the skin and softening the tissue.
Borage Seed
Oil is an ancient oil used in the Far East for thousands of years, it's one of the richest sources of Essential
Fatty Acids and Omegas, specifically Gamma-Linolenic Acid (rich in Omega 6) which is very effective in healing damaged
Squalene derived from olives, is very compatible with the skin and is moisturising without being greasy.
Rosehip Seed Oil is very rich in Omega 3 and 6, which are beneficial for the treatment of damaged and distressed skin by providing intense moisturisation.

Customer Reviews for OMega Super-rich Body Cream
by Pam
Great body cream, Bad bottleI love this cream but hate the bottle/pump it comes in. I have had nothing but problems so far. I'm on my third bottle exchange because the pump stopped working just after a few days. I wish it came in a squeeze bottle or jar. I have yet to give up on the product because it's so amazing and makes my skin so soft. NOTE from Mama Mio - Hi Pam, thanks for the feedback, we have now put this product into a tube. xxx
by Candace

A Comparison of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, a New Sleep Questionnaire, and Sleep Diaries
Date: August 2012
Creator: Sethi, Kevin J.
Description: Self-report retrospective estimates of sleep behaviors are not as accurate as prospective estimates from sleep diaries, but are more practical for epidemiological studies. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the validity of retrospective measures and improve upon them. The current study compared sleep diaries to two self-report retrospective measures of sleep, the commonly used Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a newly developed sleep questionnaire (SQ), which assessed weekday and weekend sleep separately. It was hypothesized that the new measure would be more accurate than the PSQI because it accounts for variability in sleep throughout the week. The relative accuracy of the PSQI and SQ in obtaining estimates of total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), and sleep onset latency (SOL) was examined by comparing their mean differences from, and correlations with, estimates obtained by the sleep diaries. Correlations of the PSQI and SQ with the sleep diaries were moderate, with the SQ having significantly stronger correlations on the parameters of TST, SE, and sleep quality ratings. The SQ also had significantly smaller mean differences from sleep diaries on SOL and SE. The overall pattern of results indicated that the SQ performs better than the PSQI when compared to sleep ...

Variations in Suicidal Ideation Among Substance Users
Date: December 2012
Creator: Nichols, Erica
Description: Research suggests that substance use is a risk factor for increased suicidal ideation. This study explored the relationship between substance use, suicidal ideation, and impulsivity in a sample of college students and individuals seeking outpatient treatment. Participants were interviewed for information on severity of suicidal ideation and substance use. Participants completed the Psychiatric Diagnostic Screening Questionnaire, the substance use section of the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Scale for Suicide Ideation, and the UPPS-P Impulsivity Behavior Scale. These measures were used to determine the amount of variance in suicidal ideation accounted for by substance use. Variables reflecting substance use classification, frequency, and severity were used to predict severity of suicidal ideation.

Sibling Relationship Quality: Associations with Marital and Coparenting Subsystems
Date: December 2012
Creator: Guinn, Megan D.
Description: Marital relationships play an important role in family functioning and in the development of sibling relationships. From a family systems perspective, other subsystems within the family, such as coparenting interactions, could explain the effects of the marital relationship on sibling bonds. Specifically, the quality of the coparenting relationship may mediate the association between marital functioning and sibling relationship quality. The current study examined relationships between these three subsystems (marital, coparenting, and sibling) as self-reported by mothers, fathers, and children with siblings. As part of a larger project, families with a child aged 8 to 11 and at least one sibling (N = 75) completed the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Coparenting Scale (both completed by mother and father), as well as the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (completed by target child). Results suggested that marital functioning is a significant predictor of functioning within the coparenting relationship. Predicted associations did not emerge between sibling relationship quality and marital or coparenting relationships, with minor exceptions, and the coparenting relationship did not mediate the association between marital and sibling relationship quality. Implications of the current findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Similarities and Differences in Borderline and Other Symptomology Among Women Survivors of Interpersonal Trauma with and Without Complex Ptsd
Date: December 2012
Creator: Marchesani, Estee Simpkins
Description: Women interpersonal chronic trauma survivors are frequently misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which often results in mistreatment. Neither PTSD nor BPD adequately describes the unique character alterations observed among those exposed to prolonged early childhood trauma. Researchers suggest survivors of interpersonal and chronic trauma should be subsumed under complex PTSD (CPTSD)(MacLean & Gallop, 2003). The primary purpose of this study was to test the validity of complex PTSD as a construct. MANOVA, ANOVA, chi- Square, and independent samples t- Tests were utilized to test hypotheses. Results revealed that women who experienced higher frequencies of trauma met more CPTSD criteria and had higher mean base rate scores on the Major Depression, Depressive, Avoidant, Masochistic, Anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline scales of the MCMI- III than women who experienced fewer traumas. Additionally, findings suggest that the Major Depression, Depressive, Anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline scales may highlight differences among women interpersonal trauma survivors who meet five of six CPTSD criteria versus those who meet full CPTSD diagnostic criteria. Lastly, the mean Borderline scale score for women who met full CPTSD diagnostic criteria was below the cutoff for personality traits. Overall, these findings provide evidence and validation for ...

Prevalence of Eating Disorders and Pathogenic Weight Control Behaviors Among Male Collegiate Athletes
Date: August 2012
Creator: Chatterton, Justine M.
Description: Training in sport environments that emphasize leanness and muscularity may damage athletes' body image and negatively influence male athletes' eating behaviors and attitudes. The Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnosis and the Bulimia Test – Revised were completed anonymously online by 732 male intercollegiate athletes. Most male collegiate athletes were classified as asymptomatic (82.9%), followed by symptomatic (16%) and eating disordered (1.1%). The most common forms pathogenic behaviors were excessive exercise (51.6%), binge eating (21.4%), and dieting or fasting (20.5%). Results suggested that athletes who participate in weight class sports are at higher risk for developing these behaviors than endurance sport or ball game athletes. Counseling and other implications for professionals working with athletes are discussed.

Relationships Among Self-esteem, Psychological and Cognitive Flexibility, and Psychological Symptomatology
Date: December 2012
Creator: Al-Jabari, Rawya, M.
Description: Previous findings on the relationship between self-esteem and psychological outcomes are inconsistent. Therefore it appears that self-esteem, while related to crucial variables, does not provide a clear, direct, and comprehensive prediction of psychological symptoms. Thus, it was hypothesized that the relationship between self-esteem and symptomatology would be moderated by broader measures of how one interacts with emotional and cognitive stimuli.The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of self-esteem, psychological flexibility, and cognitive flexibility on psychological symptomatology. A sample of 82 undergraduate students at the University of North Texas completed self-report questionnaires measuring low self-esteem, psychological flexibility, measured inversely as inflexibility, cognitive flexibility, and psychological symptoms. Results of the study suggest that self-esteem (?= -0.59, p < 0.001) and flexibility (both psychological (?= 0.36, p = 0.001) and cognitive (?= 0.21, p < 0.05) are significant predictors of psychological symptoms. In other words, self-esteem is positively correlated with psychological symptoms, while psychological and cognitive flexibility are negatively correlated with psychological symptoms. Neither form of flexibility moderated the relationship between self-esteem and psychological symptoms in this sample. The findings of the current study are discussed as well as suggestions for further research related to self-esteem, psychological and cognitive flexibility, ...

Heterosexist Harassment and Rejection, Emotional Social Support and Perceived Stress in a Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Sample
Date: December 2012
Creator: Fritz, Sarah-Mee Hesse
Description: The minority stress theory suggests LGBs experience greater stress levels due to their sexual minority identities; thus, they are more prone to psychological distress. Poor mental health is linked to internalized homophobia and heterosexism. However, affirmative social support may mitigate the stress response via the buffering hypothesis. My model posits that LGBs are more likely to report perceived stress; however, affirmative social support can mitigate stress. I investigated the relationship between perceived stress and sexual minority identity. I explored the relationship between heterosexism, emotional support and perceived stress and the moderating role of social support in my LGB sample. I conducted a hierarchical linear regression to test my model, which accounted for 29% of the variance in perceived stress. Heterosexism and emotional support were significantly associated with perceived stress. I failed to find a moderating role of emotional support. Limitations, strengths, future research and implications are discussed.

Body Dissatisfaction, Disordered Eating Behaviors and Body Image Quality of Life in African American Women with Hiv
Date: December 2012
Creator: Hammon, Sarah A.
Description: The purpose of the current study was to further our understanding of the subjective experience of middle-age African American women who are HIV+ and on highly active antiretroviral therapy, particularly how self-reported lipodystrophy (LD), levels of body dissatisfaction, body image quality of life, and engagement in disordered eating behaviors are related. Multiple regression, MANOVA, MANCOVA, ANOVA, and chi-square were utilized to test hypotheses. Results revealed that HIV+ and HIV- women did not differ significantly on their levels of body dissatisfaction or drive for thinness. When HIV+ women were examined in more detail a pattern emerged: women who self-reported fat hypertrophy had significantly higher levels of body dissatisfaction, bingeing, but not purging, and dietary restriction and fear of weight gain compared to women who did not self-report LD. About 75% of the sample was overweight or obese, and when BMI was controlled for, these differences persisted for body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors for fat hypertrophy, but not fat atrophy. Overall, the findings indicate that the type of LD, specifically hypertrophy, is more related to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors, than LD in general. Clinical implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.

Social Interest and the Communications Organ Score in Human Figure Drawings
Date: August 1970
Creator: Long, Wesley L.
Description: The relationship between social interest and personal adjustment described by Adler seems to imply that the CO score is positively correlated with personal adjustment. If the CO score in a human figure drawing indicates the degree of social interest manifested by an individual, it is reasoned that the CO score will measure that individual's adjustment level.

Help with Searching
The ZSearch facilities are powerful and extensive. They can be userd in diverse ways, all from the top Search Page. We have also, however, ueed them ourselves to provide particular focused searches. This page is an example.
In the filtering area you see that it comes with a default choice for account type. That means it is looking for Wrtiers or Sustainers, as noted. If you change the filter, for example, of course you will be searching amoung a different constituency.
You can also put in a name, or a locale to filter your find list further. You can also select a Group and see members who are Sustainers or Writers, or even from some locale, etc.
Of course the locale filter only works for people who have taken the time to enter their locale...so if you don't find many folks, it doesn't mean that they don't exist in the system. Instead, it could be they haven't entered where they are from....
So, in summary, sarch users by account type such as writer or sutainer, by first name, last name, by interest (where again, this only works for folks who entered one), group, or by location. Fill out your chosen feilds and then click the search button. Choose from among the results disaplayed or reset your search to start over.

Andrew Birkin Movies
From his days as a production assistant on
2001: A Space Odyssey
to his later work as a successful screenwriter and director,
Andrew Birkin
has defined his cinematic career with an uncanny eye for detail, both written and filmed.
's penchant for deeply disturbed characters is evident in virtually every production with which he is involved; he has proven himself a master of slow-burning inner torment with such features as
Burning Secret
(1988) and
The Cement Garden
(1993). Born in London in 1945,
entered the film industry in the early '70s. After making an impression on audiences by penning such features as
The Pied Piper
(1972) and
cemented his status as a gifted writer by putting ink to paper for the acclaimed British miniseries
The Lost Boys
, which detailed the life of author
J.M. Barrie
and the origins of his timeless children's fable Peter Pan. In 1981,
frightened audiences with the horror sequel
Omen III: The Final Conflict
, and it wasn't long before he was looking to expand his responsibilities behind the camera. Though
would make his directorial debut with the 1981 short
Sredni Vashtar
, it wasn't until his feature debut with 1988's
Burning Secret
that audiences were treated to his true vision as a filmmaker. A searing and remarkably personal drama documenting a young boy's growth into manhood, the film successfully put
's name on the map by taking home awards from both the Bavarian Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
In the years that followed,
frequently alternated between writing and directing, with the occasional acting job thrown in for good measure. His screenplays for
Bruce Beresford
King David
Jean-Jacques Annaud
The Name of the Rose
(1986) found his reputation continuing to flourish, and his screenplay for the following year's
Kung Fu Master
(with his sister
in the lead role) explored the fragility of an age-disparity romance on tentative and sensitive terms. In 1992,
once again stepped behind the camera for the romantic drama
Salt on Our Skin
, and his subsequent film,
The Cement Garden
(1993), took home the Silver Berlin Bear at that year's Berlin International Film Festival. Although
remained fairly inactive throughout the 1990s, he worked closely with French filmmaker
Luc Besson
late in the decade on the script for the historical war drama
The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
(1999). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

La Pirate
In this avant-garde drama, five main protagonists talk incessantly and occasionally scream at each other, while making it clear that verbal fights are going to lead to mayhem since they carry knives and guns to back up their angry outbursts. At the core of this emotional whirlpool are Carol (Maruschka Detmers) and Alma (Jane Birkin) whose relationship is under stress because of the others, especially Carol's husband (Andrew Birkin). By the time the dust settles along with old scores, the audience may feel too alienated to care. Laure Marsac received a 1984 Cesar award for Most Promising Young Actress for her unnamed, secondary role as a young girl in this film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Ian Holm starred in this three-part British miniseries as James M. Barrie, the author of such whimsical works as The Admirable Crichton, A Kiss for Cinderella, and, of course, Peter Pan. The dramatic focus in this series was on the latter work, which according to screenwriter Andrew Birkin, drew its inspiration from the friendship between Barrie and the Llewellyn-Davies family. As fond as he was of "progressive" parents Arthur and Sylvia Llewelyn-Davies (Tim Piggott-Smith and Anna Cropper), Barrie was enchanted by the couple's sons: George, Jack, Peter, Michael, and Nico (played by different actors at various stages of the kids' lives). It was George in fact who described death as "an awfully big adventure," a line which Barrie would ultimately immortalize in his novel and play about Peter Pan, the little boy who never grew up. Upon the deaths of both Arthur and Sylvia from cancer, Barrie became the legal guardian of the Llewelyn-Davies boys, a responsibility that yielded equal shares of happiness and heartbreak. The Lost Boys originally aired over the BBC in 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An excellent musical score by the Bee Gees adds appeal to this curious little movie about two ten-year olds, Daniel and Melody (Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde) who are completely taken with each other and announce to their parents, in all seriousness, that they plan to get married. This marriage is not planned for the distant future, but as soon as possible. The uproar that is caused when their seriousness becomes clear is not too surprising. Their best friend Ornshaw (Jack Wild) is not too thrilled with their plan either. What makes the film work is that the entire story is told from the children's point of view in which the grownups' objections, since they have no relation to the truth of what the children are feeling, come across as silly or inconsequential. This film is a reunion of sorts for Oscar-winning Oliver! co-stars Mark Lester and Jack Wild ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In the 15th century, France is mired in the 100 Years War when a humble voice appears, claiming to have been instructed by the Lord to lead the French army into battle and defend their land against the British. The voice belongs to Jeanne d'Aragon, a teenage girl from a tiny village, and, to the surprise of many, her story does not fall on deaf ears. Wearing the armor of a soldier, the girl known as Joan of Arc leads the French troops in what she believes is a holy battle. Joan would soon be tried for heresy for her actions, but history would vindicate her with sainthood. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc stars Milla Jovovich as Joan of Arc, Faye Dunaway as Yolande d'Aragon, and Dustin Hoffman as The Grand Inquisitor. Directed by Luc Besson, The Messenger was originally titled Joan of Arc but added the prefix to avoid confusion with the 1999 TV movie of the same name, which starred Leelee Sobieski. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When a murder occurs at a secluded Benedictine Abbey, William is called in to investigate. As he and his apprentice, Adson von Melk (Christian Slater), delve deeper and deeper into the case, more dead bodies begin to turn up. Eventually, Bernardo Gui, an inquisitor played by F. Murray Abraham gets involved, but he may not have the best intentions. Sean Connery's performance earned him the award for Best Actor at the 1988 British Academy Awards. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

The second sequel to the 1976 horror hit The Omen finds Damien Thorn assuming the full mantle of the Antichrist and preparing for a final, all-out battle with "the Nazarene." Now in his thirties, Damien (Sam Neill) has elevated the family business, Thorn Industries, into the world's biggest multinational corporation. A little bit of black magic paves the way for Damien to become ambassador to England and the head of an international youth council. He soon uses this platform to amass an army of followers to do his bidding. But when Damien notices the confluence of three stars in the sky on March 24, he gets worried about the second coming of Christ. So he orders his minions to kill all the babies born on that day, warning them: "Fail, and you will be condemned to a numbing eternity in the flaccid bosom of Christ." Damien even orders his faithful private secretary, Harvey Dean (Don Gordon), to commit infanticide on his own kid, just because the guy's wife gave birth on the wrong day; a nasty incident involving laundry-room implements soon follows. Meanwhile, Damien romances Kate Reynolds (Lisa Harrow), a beautiful television anchorwoman who feels like a moth drawn to Damien's charismatic flame -- even after he brutally sodomizes her to show her how the world looks through his eyes. Things come to a head when Brother DeCarlo (Rossano Brazzi), one of a secret cabal of monks who have assembled the seven Daggers of Meggido in hopes of assassinating Damien, reveals to Kate that the Antichrist has taken her son (Barnaby Holm) under his wing. Although The Final Conflict was the final theatrical installment of the Omen series, the made-for-TV Omen IV: The Awakening appeared a decade later. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Director Bruce Beresford has safely stayed within the domain of the Bible and not strayed into patches of Hollywood fiction in this routine version of the story of David (Richard Gere). For that reason, anyone unfamiliar with Biblical history might be puzzled by the episodic presentation of David's life. In the opening scenes, Samuel condemns Saul and anoints the young David as his heir, and in fairly quick succession David slays Goliath, incurs Saul's jealous wrath, leaves, and, much later, comes back to rule after Saul has died. Once David is on the throne, Bathsheba and then Absalom enter into the picture. Interspersed are brutal scenes of fighting, but not much in the way of motivation for David's complex behavior. Gaps in the narration or unclear motivation may be the result of trying to cover too many events in a 114-minute running time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Set in the years just after World War I at an upper-class winter spa, this period drama concerns the sickly son, Edmund (David Eberts), of American diplomat Mr. Tuchman (Ian Richardson). Edmund is accompanied to the spa with his ice-boned mother Sonya (Faye Dunaway) to recuperate from an asthmatic condition. At the spa, Edmund meets a dashing baron (Klaus Maria Brandauer), who regales Edmund with tales of his wartime exploits and takes him on long trips in his car and into the woods to explore a decaying tower. The Baron suffers from a hidden depression. Sonya, too, suffers from a depression exacerbated by years of a passionless marriage. Inevitably, these two manic souls find each other and have an affair. But now Edmund becomes jealous, and even his well-placed asthma attacks can't break Sonya and The Baron apart. So Edmund, his innocent boyhood shattered forever, takes off to Vienna to expose the affair to his father. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

British glam rock superstars Slade made their collective acting debut in this downbeat drama about a pop group's struggles with success. In the late '60s, Barry (Dave Hill), Paul (Jim Lea), and Charlie (Don Powell) are musicians who are barely making a living playing pub dates, weddings, and socials backing up egocentric vocalist Jack Daniels (Alan Lake). One night, the boys find themselves opening for a ghoulish show band called The Undertakers, and a prank played on their lead vocalist, Stoker (Noddy Holder), backfires and leads to a car chase which lands both groups in jail for the night. After a long night of thinking, Barry, Paul, and Charlie decide that they have no future with Daniels, and bring new pal Stoker aboard as their singer. Calling themselves Iron Rod, the new quartet clicks musically, but manager Ron Harding (Johnny Shannon) doesn't care for their new style and stops booking the group. Robert Seymour (Tom Conti), a marketing man from a wealthy family who thinks there's quick money in pop music, enters the picture and informs the band that he can make them major stars. Wary of Seymour but eager for success, the group signs a new management deal, and after Seymour changes their name to Flame and gives them an image makeover, the band scores a hit record and is soon playing a series of sold-out shows. But as fame beckons, tensions rise between the musicians and is not at all helped when Harding reenters the picture. Slade members Jim Lea and Noddy Holder wrote a set of original songs for the film, two of which ("Far Far Away" and "How Does It Feel") became hit singles in the U.K. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ian McEwan's disturbing novel is given a chilly shimmer in this film adaptation by Andrew Birkin. The film takes place in a concrete slab of a house situated on the outskirts of an English town. The father (Hanns Zischer) is a consumptive creep, while the mother (Sinead Cusack) is a sweet and understanding matriarch. When the father dies of a heart attack after his garden is paved over, it is too much for the mother to bear, and after a few weeks she wastes away and also dies. This leaves the children to fend for themselves. The eldest sister and brother, Julie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and Jack (Andrew Robertson), have to care for the younger children, Sue (Alice Coultard) and Tom (Ned Birkin). Without parental supervision, the four children give themselves up to their secret longings. Jack hides in corners to masturbate, but Julie uses her sexual attraction to lure Jack into an incestuous relationship. Even the younger children have their problems: Sue is mostly mute and spends all her time obsessively writing in her journal, while Tom feels that deep inside himself he is a girl trapped in a boy's body. The children hide the mother's remains in the basement and live off her bank account. The neighbors don't suspect a thing --that is until sleazy Derek (Jochen Horst) begins to come around in his red convertible, trying to get a date with Julie. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The Pied Piper eschews the romanticism of Robert Browning's poem and returns to the grim Grimm Brothers source. Pop singer Donovan plays the 14th century piper hired by a duplicitous burgomaster (Donald Pleasence) to rid the town of Hamelin of its rats. The piper does what he's asked, but is denied the payment promised him; in revenge, he leads all of Hamelin's children out of town, never to be seen again. Though the story is a familiar one, this 1972 Pied Piper is not a kiddie movie. Director Jacques Demy's depiction of the 14th century as a muddy, backward, superstitious, disease-ridden, vermin-infested era transforms this fable into a squalid tale of revenge (incidentally, all those repulsive rodents are real). Donovan is matched by a remarkably restrained Jack Wild as the crippled boy, and John Hurt also co-stars. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
