Herman Cain rallies the Earth to rise up against alien invasion (VIDEO)
God, we miss Herman Cain. "The Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver sat down with Cain this week to do a post-mortem on his presidential run. Somewhere around the 2:45 mark below Oliver asks if he knows — yet — who the president of "Uz-beki-beki-bekistan" is. Oh, the answer is genius. So is Oliver's bit asking [...]

Fact-checking the false claims made at Nevada caucus (lots and lots of 'em)

ClassicsOnline Home » BRIAN, H.: Symphonies Nos. 11 and 15 (Ireland RTE National Symphony, Rowe, Leaper) > Review List
Havergal Brian was never a conventional composer, but the three later works on this disc rank among his most unconventional approaches to the symphonic form. The highly virtuosic Doctor Merryheart portrays an imaginary astronomer's musical obsessions. The artless spontaneity of Symphony No. 11, whose Adagio is one of Brian's most profound inspirations, and the extrovert character of Symphony No. 15, are firmly grounded in Brian's resourceful technical mastery. The martial vigour of the early overture For Valour drew inspiration from the Walt Whitman poem Drum Taps (also used by Vaughan Williams in Dona nobis pacem, Naxos 8.572424).
Giant. British composer Havergal Brian left a significant body of work, including a cycle of 32 symphonies, which hardly anyone but specialists knows. During his very long life (nearly 97 years), he gained the support of such figures as Elgar, Delius, Bantock, Vaughan Williams, Ernest Newman, and Robert Simpson, the last of whom helped illuminate him briefly on the general listener's radar screen. Certainly, Simpson turned me on to Brian during the Sixties and Seventies through articles, liner notes, and getting up actual performances on BBC Radio. Yet, if we consider the quality of Brian's music, we can't say he's yet gotten his due. Here, after all, is Elgar's heir, among other things. Bad luck plagued him most of his life. Born in grinding poverty, his formal schooling stopped at the age of 12. Yet he stubbornly held to the idea of becoming a composer. He could not afford a formal course of study, so he to a great extent taught himself and earned a catch-as-can living in musical journalism and various musical secretarial tasks. He had married (twice; the first ended in divorce in 1913) and needed to provide for his family. His work as a reviewer gave him access to free tickets to the wealth of concerts in London. His positions in musical journalism kept him abreast of the latest developments. He early on beat the drum for Mahler, Handel's operas, Bruckner, and Schoenberg. Promised performances and publications of major works often went unrealized, due to one thing and another (the usual lost scores and the ascent of the Nazis to power, for example). By the end of World War II, he was almost totally forgotten. At the time of his Sixties revival, he and his wife were living in a council flat. Through all of this, he single-mindedly continued to compose, producing most of his symphonies after World War II as well as other major scores. His work rarely shows up in recording, often in amateur performances, although Marco Polo and now Naxos seem to have taken a flyer on him—a long time coming.
Brian's work divides roughly into early and late. The early work is big and Romantic; the late terse and thoroughly modern. This CD features scores from both periods.
If Brian has a fault, it's his tendency to stuff his work full of too many wonderful things. I can't think of a truly light piece. For Valour suffers from this. It's an Elgarian overture—similar to something like Froissart or In the South. Ideas burst from it in confusing profusion. There are, for example, not one, not two, but three multi-thematic subject groups, and they're freely mixed in the development. This takes, at least, great skill, but a listener may have to listen to it many, many times before it begins to make sense. Fortunately, Naxos has divided the overture into subtracks, and Brian maven Malcolm McDonald has provided terrific liner notes geared to those tracks. Most of the overture is either contemplative or grand, but it also contains sommore....

In 2007, NBA star Tim Hardaway drew criticism after making homophobic remarks on a Miami radio show. "I hate gay people," the former Miami Heat player declared. "I don't like to be around gay people. I'm homophobic."
Now, to the surprise of many advocates, Hardaway has come out in support of LGBT equality. "My family and friends came to me and were like, 'What are you doing?'" he told ABC-7 in El Paso, TX, explaining his reversed views. "I talked to them and they made me understand that [homophobia] wasn't right."
Hardaway, 44, appeared in El Paso last Thursday to speak at a press conference on behalf of the "No Recall Group," an organization fighting against the recall of El Paso mayor John Cook and city representatives Susie Byrd and Steve Ortega. Cook, Byrd and Ortega are under attack from local conservative groups for voting to reinstate domestic partner benefits for city employees.
"It's not right to not let the gays and lesbians have equal rights here," Hardaway told the crowd, adding that he hopes "the city will grow and understand that gays and lesbians need equal rights."
Sports Illustrated's Dave Zirin spoke with John Amaechi, the first former NBA player to come out of the closet and the implicit target of Hardaway's original tirade. Back in 2007, Amaechi said, Hardaway's response to the LGBT community seemed like little more than "emergency rehab" for the star's reputation.
"However, it seems to me that this is a far more genuine piece of outreach," Amaechi said of Hardaway's recent public position. "I hope this is a story of true redemption rather than a savvy P.R. ploy … [but] either way, he is at least saying the right words, and that will make a positive difference."
Hardaway has also been working with LGBT rights groups in Miami, ABC-7 reported.
"[If Hardaway can have a] change of heart, anybody can," said Rep. Byrd.

Thanks for the article.
A step in the right direction....
I hope he is truly sincere in his change of heart. We need more public allies willing to fight for us.
I hope that he means it. I'm glad that his friends and family let him know why his views were wrong and that he had the intelligence to move away from such a pathetic viewpoint and attitude.
Good for him. But if he truly wants equality for the LGBT community he needs to confront the congress and ask why ENDA was Stalled in a Democrat controlled Senate. I find it sickening that someone can still be fired in several states... for no other reason than they happen to be a Lesbian or a Homosexual. ENDA passed the house. It should have passed the Senate as well (especially since the Republicans still didn't have the 'filabuster' at that time)!
His current position wouldn't seem to be just back pedaling to counter bad publicity for his original anti-gay remarks as those were in 2007 and it is now 2011. I think he has really revised his opinion for whatever his reasons. Now if only more homophobes would follow his example.
There is hope that some people can have a change of heart and mean it. Discrimination is wrong period.
Allan Y. I agree with you....
Hopefully, he means what he says, and is not trying to back pedal on potentially bad publicity.
There's hope yet! Thanks Tim

Notice to HPPSC Secretary HP plans 100 yrs of apple celebrations
Draft electoral rolls to be out on Nov 17 |
Concern over vacant posts of doc, teacher Favouritism alleged in teachers selection Life term for one in

Notice to HPPSC Secretary Shimla, November 13 A Division Bench, comprising the Chief Justice V.K. Gupta and Mr Justice K.C. Sood, further directed the respondent to file its reply within six weeks. The petitioner alleged that the HPPSC had issued an advertisement for inviting applications for appointment for seven vacancies in the HP Judicial Service. The examination for the appointment to seven posts was held in August. After the written test had been held, the Commission had issued another notification, whereby the number of vacancies was enhanced to 25. The petitioner contended that the number of vacancies to be filled could not be increased after the last date for submitting applications had expired. This violates the fundamental rights of the candidates, who had not applied or who were not eligible to apply till July 19. |
HP plans 100 yrs of apple celebrations Shimla, November 13 Stating this here today Major Vijay Mankotia, Tourism Minister, said that the event more than fulfilled the objective of promoting tourism in the state during the lean autumn season. Besides making the vintage car rally an annual international event, the government was involving the SAARC countries. To begin with, a Pakistan team would be invited to the tournament to be organised to mark 100 years of apple next year. It would be, in fact, a precursor to the mega event to be organised in 2005 to celebrate the centenary of the nine-hole Naldera golf course. The whole idea of such celebrations was to attract tourists to the state. The state also planned to create facilities for film shooting. The issue had already been discussed with actor Anupam Kher during his recent visit to the town. He had promised to prepare a project to attract Bollywood producers for shooting in the state. |
Draft electoral rolls to be out on Nov 17 Shimla, November 13 The representatives of political parties were informed about the programme given by the Election Commission of India. As per the programme, the draft electoral rolls would be published on November 17, and objections, if any, could be filed before the officers concerned from November 17 to December 8. Those who have attained the age of 18 on January 1, 2004, could be enrolled as voters. The representatives of political parties who attended the meeting included Mr Kuldeep Singh Rathore of the Congress, Mr Ashok Sharma of the BJP and Mr Narotam Singh Dogra of the
Concern over vacant posts of doc, teacher Mandi, November 13 Mr Rangila Ram Rao, Excise and Taxation Minister, who presided over the meeting, assured the agitated members that the government was seized of the matter and steps would be taken to fill all vacant posts. Responding to the concern shown by members about the lopsided approach of certain departments towards the grievances of people, Mr Rao directed implementing agencies to increase the pace of development. Mr Rao cautioned the Departments of Transport, Education, Animal Husbandry, PWD, Agriculture, Health, IPH and HPSEB and directed their heads to take remedial measures to redress the problems being faced by the people. Expressing concern over the poor transport service in the district, the minister directed the District Commissioner to constitute monitoring committees at the district and subdivisional levels in this regard and submit a detailed report at the next meeting of the grievances committee. |
Favouritism alleged in teachers selection Shimla, November 13 Mr Ravinder Ravi, Mr K.D. Dharmani and Mr Baldev Sharma in a joint statement here today, said the state cadre posts were being filled by selecting favoured candidates. In places like Jubbal, Bahadurpur and Hatli Jaguala in Gangath the posts had already been filled, leading to resentment among those who had turned up for interviews as they came to know about it only when they reached the venue. They alleged that no provision had been made for the reserved categories like Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Candidates were procuring fake experience certificates, they alleged. |
Life term
for one in murder case Dharamsala, November 13 According to the prosecution, on October 8, 2001, Kartar Chand of Ramchar village was going home at night when he saw Sanjay Kumar and his brother Praveen having a dispute with Vipin and Deep of the same village. He intervened and told Sanjay to go home. Instead the latter took out a knife and stabbed Kartar Chand in the abdomen and ran away. He was taken to Nagrota Bagwan primary health centre in a critical condition and was then referred to Dr R.P.G. Medical College, Dharamsala, where he died on October 10, 2001. |
Lack of rain hits rabi crops Chamba, November 13 Experts say that the prospects of a good yield are bleak if it does not rain as several nullahs have gone dry while in others the volume of water has receded. The experts opine that the prevailing drought situation will cause forest fires, causing irreparable loss to the flora and fauna of the area. |
Man stabs friend
to death Shimla, November 13 According to the police the incident took place when Gudu and Dalip along with their friend Jaipal were having liquor.

text: Sea of Venezuelans view Chavez remains on Mar 7, 2013 @ 9:17 AMA huge line of Venezuelans filed past the remains of late President Hugo Chavez on Thursday, crying, making the sign of the cross and giving military salutes as an era ended and uncertain elections loomed in the oil-rich nation.Chavez lay in state in a half-open casket in the Caracas military academy, with a serene face, wearing olive green military fatigues, a black tie and the iconic red beret that became a symbol of his 14-year socialist revolution.Thousands of people stood in line through the night outside the academy to see the former paratrooper whose oil-funded socialism earned him friends and foes at home and abroad."He's in there, but my comandate is immortal," said Saul Mantano, a 49-year-old salesman with a Chavez hat and a Venezuelan flag who saw the half-open casket. "I didn't want to see him dead, but it's a reality now."The country gave Chavez a rousing send-off through the streets of Caracas on Wednesday, one day after he lost his battle with cancer at the age of 58, with a sea of people in red shirts throwing flowers on his coffin.At the front of the procession was his chosen successor, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, the interim leader who walked the seven-hour march to the academy and is now on a path to elections in the next 30 days.His mentor now lay in state in a half-opened casket in the hall of the academy where he found his political calling, inspiring the former colonel to lead a failed coup in 1992 before being elected in 1998."Maduro is already our president. It's what Chavez wanted and we will vote for him when elections come," said a mourner, Margarita Martinez, 37.Four guards and four tall candelabras flanked the coffin after a ceremony late Wednesday with his tearful mother, three daughters and son, and a crowd of aides as well as the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay, close allies.The crowd applauded and then chanted "Chavez lives, the struggle goes on!" before the doors opened to the public, which will get to see him until a state funeral on Friday."His face was beautiful. We will remember him the way he was, the way he lived," Yelitze Santaella, governor of Monagas state, told AFP after seeing the body.Chavez's death on Tuesday was a blow to his supporters and to the alliance of left-wing Latin American powers, and it has plunged his OPEC member nation into uncertainty.Maduro, 50, has now taken the mantle of Chavismo, an ideology that poured the nation's oil riches into social programs, and will likely face off in elections against opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who lost to Chavez in the October election.Under Chavez, Venezuela's oil wealth has underwritten the Castro brothers' communist rule in Cuba, and he repeatedly courted confrontation with Washington by cozying up to anti-Western governments in Russia, Syria and Iran.His death brought hundreds of thousands of supporters to the streets of Caracas, throwing flowers on his casket and shouting "I love you Chavez!" for the man whose revolution delighted the poor and infuriated the wealthy.But in a country divided by Chavez's populist style, not everyone agreed on his legacy, with opposition supporters in better-off neighborhoods still angry."Hate and division was the only thing that he spread," 28-year-old computer programmer Jose Mendoza told AFP in an eastern Caracas opposition bastion. "They want to make him a martyr. It made me laugh."Some of Chavez's closest Latin American allies have already arrived here ahead of the state funeral, including Bolivian President Evo Morales, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner and Uruguay's Jose Mujica.Russia, China and Iran hailed Chavez -- who had cultivated close ties with foes of the West as a way of thumbing his nose at Washington -- as a great leader, with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad heading to the funeral.Venezuela's closest ally, Cuba, declared its own three-day mourning period and dubbed Chavez a "true son" of revolutionary icon Fidel Castro. Several other Latin American countries followed suit.A senior US official said the United States -- denounced by Chavez as "the empire" -- hopes to forge a "positive relationship" with Venezuela once the upheaval of Chavez's death is over.Maduro has picked up on Chavez's anti-US rhetoric, expelling two US military attaches after earlier accusing Venezuela's enemies of somehow causing the president's cancer.bur-lth/jm

Title: | The effects of a culturally sensitive high school intervention program for native hawaiians on student alienation, academic achievement, and dropping out |
Author: | Barnard, Beverly J |
Date: | 2004 |
Abstract: | A culturally sensitive high school intervention program based on the 1989 Carnegie Council Turning Points report and designed as a deterrent to at-risk students of Native Hawaiian ancestry dropping out of school was studied. The Dean (Shoho, 1996) and Margins of Society (MOS) alienation scales (Travis, 1993) were administered to 200 students who participated in the intervention program and a comparable regular program in a large high school in Hawaii. The intervention program is known as the Aloha Academy in the dissertation. The four-factor alienation construct (isolation, normlessness, powerlessness and cultural estrangement) was validated using scores from 190 of the 200 students. A principal components analysis was conducted on 38 items with an oblique rotation. Fourteen items were found to measure the four aspects of alienation in this multiethnic cultural group. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) procedure was used to determine the effects of the Aloha Academy on student alienation with particular interest in students of Native Hawaiian ancestry. The MANOVA was conducted of four dependent variables of alienation, cultural estrangement, normlessness, isolation, and powerlessness. The independent variables were program (Aloha Academy vs. regular program) and ethnicity (Native Hawaiian and non-Native Hawaiian. In the MANOVA, 75 students were determined to be comparable in the sample (Aloha Academy, 36, and the ,regular program, 39). None of the three effects from the 2 X 2 MANOVA were statistically significant. Three years (1997-1998 through 1999-2000) of grade point averages (GPA), and Stanford Achievement tests (SAT) for reading and mathematics were examined as indicators of academic achievement. The ANCOVA procedures was used for this analysis with the dependent variables program (Aloha Academy vs. regular program) and ethnicity (Native Hawaiian vs. non-Native Hawaiian). The independent variables were GPA, and SAT Reading and Mathematics scores from 1998-1999 and 1999-2000. The covariates were GPA and SAT Reading and Mathematics scores from 1997-1998. Findings from this data showed significance for the intervention program in GPA but not for the contrast between Native Hawaiians vs. non-Native Hawaiians after controlling for the covariate. There was no significance found for any of the effects with SAT scores. The most dramatic results were found with students who stayed in school through their senior year. Five hundred seventy-seven ninth grade students who entered school in 1998-1999 were examined as to how the intervention program reduces the dropout rate of Native Hawaiian and non-Native Hawaiian students. Eighty-five percent of the students who participated in the intervention program during their ninth grade school year stayed in school through their senior year (12th grade). Seventy-two percent of students from all other programs also stayed in school. A logistic regression model was conducted. It was found that students who participated in the intervention program had lower odds of dropping out (chi square = 7.5969, P = 0.0058). The effect of ethnicity (Native Hawaiian vs. non-Native Hawaiian was non-significant. The interaction effect (ethnicity X program) was also non-significant. |

chain plates
I have a 1966 pearson wanderer hull #9. I noticed the aft chain plate pulling forward and it actually notched the deck. We did have her in a little bit of a blow(20-30kts) during a nite race. It might have happend on the run, wing to wing with the full 150 out. Anyone else seen this?
With only a 30 knot blow, I do not think that should have happened.
Respectfully suggest that you look for the underlining cause. Dick |
How are they attached? Are they encapsulated in glass? if so, hard to inspect but you probably have some rot and they are pulling out.

Don�t Marry a Career Woman
MISOGYNY IS FUN! On August 22, Forbes executive editor Michael Noer finally went and fucked himself right off the edge of the Cliff of Decency with a totally ricockulous, calculated attempt to drive web traffic to Forbes.com, entitled �Don�t Marry a Career Woman.�
It was so egregious, the Farm had trouble hyperbolizing it: �Guys: A word of advice,� Noer wrote. �Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones
"A 2001 study found that having a wife who works less than 40 hours a week has no impact on your health, but having a wife who works more than 40 hours a week has "substantial, statistically significant, negative effects on changes in her husband�s health over that time span." The author of another study summarizes that "wives working longer hours do not have adequate time to monitor their husband�s health and healthy behavior, to manage their husband�s emotional well-being or buffer his workplace stress."
The next day, the story was yanked from the site, only to reappear soon after, repackaged as a �debate,� complete with a flying-poop-stained reader forum, and missing the references and slideshow. But we were undeterred, and started lathering up a few future story ideas for Noer�you know, make a proper series of it�and invited our blog readers to join in. Here�s a smattering:

Younger blacks absorb a wariness of marriage

Younger blacks absorb a wariness of marriage
By Vanessa E. Jones, Globe Staff | August 9, 2006
Their disillusionment mirrors a growing resistance to marriage among African-Americans. In the post-Civil War era, when African-Americans had the option to marry legally for the first time, many did. The 1890 Census showed that 80 percent of African-American families were headed by two parents, according to Andrew Billingsley 's 1992 book, ``Climbing Jacob's Ladder: The Enduring Legacies of African-American Families ."
But in 1970, census figures show ed that only 57 percent of black men and 54 percent of black women were married. By last year those numbers had slipped to 42 percent for men and 35 percent for women. In comparison, 68 percent of white men and 63 percent of white women were married in 1970, vs. 59 percent of men and 57 percent of women in 2005 .
As the local teens's comments indicate, view s about marriage are formed by what people see in their lives -- and in pop culture. Shows such as ``Divorce Court " and the media's focus on the latest celebrity break-up do not paint glowing pictures of relationships. These factors may help explain why the US divorce rate approaches 40 percent.
But while whites tend to remarry, blacks are less likely to do so. A 2002 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the probability of remarriage was highest among divorced white women and lowest among divorced black women.
William Glass , 16, who lives in Mattapan, thinks a re-evaluation of power takes place after the wedding ceremony. ``When you get married there's a part where it says, `honor and obey ' -- that's the part where everybody gets big- headed at. `Honor and obey, huh? Obey me! Fix my plate.' "
The problems often develop as men and women grapple over their roles in the marriage -- an issue that is exacerbated in the Africa-American community because of slavery's legacy, says Patterson. ``There's some profound differences in what the appropriate sex roles should be . . . African-American women have a modern independent view about women's roles. African-American men -- it's a mix. In some respects, they have a modern view of what women should be: that women should work. But there's still some male- dominance views that they have that irk black women tremendously and create real friction in the relationships."

Jay-Z, Cristal and Sobriety
Posted by
African-American Issues Group
Mon Jul 10th 2006, 06:04 AM
These both struck me as interesting takes on the same topic
Jay-Z, Cristal and Sobriety
By Jabari Asim
Sunday, July 9, 2006; 6:42 PM
Jay-Z got his rhymes in a twist when the maker of Cristal appeared to diss the rapper and his fellow revelers in hip-hop high life. In an interview with the Economist magazine, Frederic Rouzaud, managing director of Champagne Louis Roederer, implied that the blingosphere's appetite for the Cristal brand was less than desirable. He said with apparent resignation, "we can't forbid people from buying it."
No, but you can discourage them from doing so, and that's exactly what Jay-Z aims to do. He has suggested that a consumer boycott is in order.
Boycott. Now that's a word you don't hear so often these days. Hard for me to encounter it without thinking of Rosa Parks and brave Alabamans walking and carpooling their way to justice. But I suppose it applies just as well to millionaires whose sensibilities have been offended. A bottle of Cristal, it should be noted, can go for $300 or more. That's a lot of bus fare.
Seriously, though, I'm not mad at Jay-Z for expressing his displeasure. Just as with women and others who have taken offense at his sexist, misogynist lyrics, he has a right to be peeved by what he sees as disrespectful treatment. But there are far bigger alcohol-related problems among the urban population that helps keep his tunes at the top of the charts, and he would probably be quick to agree.
For instance, while Cristal seems hesitant to embrace young black consumers, the makers of malt liquor are more than eager to establish a relationship. They are among the alcohol manufacturers who target African-American youth, according to a new study by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at Georgetown University. The analysis, an update of an earlier study, found that alcohol ads on radio and television and in magazines in 2003 and 2004 reached more African-American youth ages 12 to 20 than youth in general on a per capita basis.
The study says that the ads appeared on all of the 15 television programs most popular among African-American youth. That group was also targeted for 30 percent more magazine alcohol advertising than were youth in general during the period covered by the study. Alcohol is the drug most commonly used by both African-American youth and adults, a fact that cannot be blamed entirely on predatory advertisers. We also have to acknowledge the influence of the music that made Jay-Z famous. In a study of 1,000 popular songs from 1996 and 1997, for example, 47 percent of rap tunes mentioned alcohol, far more than songs from any other genre. Add those influences to the myriad billboards dotting urban communities and the adults staggering beneath them and you wind up with a significant problem. The CAMY study notes that the age-adjusted death rate from alcohol-induced causes for blacks is 10 percent higher than that for the general population.
The Hip-Hop Community Got its Wake-Up Call on Endorsing Those Who Dis Them
Date: Friday, July 07, 2006
By: Judge Greg Mathis, Special to BlackAmericaWeb.com
Hip-hop music and culture has, both formally and informally, pushed a variety of products over the years. Cadillac, Adidas -- you name it, and an artist has mentioned it in a song. And those lucky corporations profit greatly. After all, hip-hop is consumed all over the world, and many -- including young, white suburbanites -- learn everything there is to know about urban culture by listening to the music and watching the videos. If Sean �P. Diddy� Combs says �Pass the Courvoisier,� chances are millions will do just that.
Until now, mainstream rappers haven�t paid much attention to the impact their words have. Sure, Common and others are mindful of the images they project, but they are the exception. With Jay-Z calling for a boycott of Cristal, it seems hip-hop is poised to move away from the brash materialism that has become its calling card.
In the 1980s, rap music moved from the fringes to the mainstream. As the popularity of groups such as Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions grew, the music ceased to be just about parties and good times and became highly politicized. With the rise of political rap came the introduction of gangsta rap, which depicted the performers' inner-city reality of violence and drugs. Gangsta rap gave way to the West Coast vs. East Coast drama that dominated the music through much of the 1990s.
Fast forward to present day, and rap music has many sub-genres: political, gangsta, party and everything in-between. Despite the variety in the music, it seems these multi-billion dollar corporations -- the record labels, the beer and shoe companies, etc. -- only take an interest in the music that negatively reflects upon urban culture. So, when the big corporations go looking for pitchmen, they tend to stick with the rappers that have �street cred� -- rappers who, for all their immense talent, are spreading images that are detrimental to the very communities they come from.
Jay-Z has street cred. And he has talent. With his Cristal boycott, he is ushering in a new era in hip-hop culture: that of conscious consumerism. Let�s hope more rappers take his lead. They can begin by researching the corporate philosophies of the companies they sing about before they expose the brand to millions of listeners. By knowing just what they�re pitching, these artists will be setting a positive example for their many young fans.

Scott Urges Better Portrayal for Women
By KRISTIE RIEKEN , 07.04.2006, 09:51 AM
The portrayal of black women in popular music and videos is too often degrading and the black community must find a way to change these images, best-selling singer Jill Scott said Monday.
"It is dirty, inappropriate, inadequate, unhealthy and polluted," Scott said. "We can demand more."
Scott spoke before a panel that discussed the issue took the stage at the Essence Music Festival's empowerment seminars as part of the magazine's Take Back the Music campaign.
Actor Shemar Moore, rapper Common and former video dancer, Karrine Steffans, who wrote the book "Confessions of a Video Vixen," concerning her exploits, were part of the discussion.
The panel addressed the dangers these images present to young girls and said education and self-esteem will help keep them from believing this is a proper representation of black women.

for the honor of being somebody's guinea pig. Clearly any hairdresser that would charge more to do my hair based on my skin don't know enough about hair to get anywhere near it and at best would only be experimenting on me.
"Black hair" and "white hair" are not monolithic. My brother's hair is no more "ethnic" than Keanu Reeves's so I'd love to see the "scientific" evidence supporting charging him more than Art Garfunkel.

but really we all should be ashamed to live in a nation where this could happen.
Since his trial, Elizalde has claimed that he did not have adequate counsel at trial.
However, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that although Elizalde had a right to �competent counsel�, the law only requires �that counsel shall be �competent� at the time he is appointed.� According to the Texas Court of Criminal appeals, �although Texas does recognize a limited right to competent counsel, it does not recognize a right to effective assistance of counsel.�
Consequently, as long as Elizalde�s lawyer was deemed competent at the time of appointment, Texas does not require that that lawyer do an effective job of representing Elizalde. Unfortunately later appeals courts have agreed with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals� interpretation of Texas� laws regarding competent counsel.

This is not all inclusive and staff should refer to regulations, policies, SOPs, and local command guidance for executing the Ready Army program. Contact your Family Readiness Group or Installation Emergency Manager
ACOM, ASCC, and DRU Emergency Management Program Coordinator Every ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commands have an assigned EM Program Coordinator. This individual is responsible overall for ensuring EM is integrated into the command.
The Ready Army Campaign relies on everyone to reach out to many different audiences and motivate them to become prepared for disasters and emergencies. We encourage you to involve community and business leaders in the planning process. This information should provide you with ideas of the events, messages, and communication techniques that can help you reach and engage your community. Suggested tips include (not limited to):
PLANNING AND PROMOTING Ready Army events: Work with Your Community Partners. Don't feel like you have to do it alone. Reach out to emergency response and preparedness groups in your community for advice or assistance in coordinating events and educating your community about preparedness.
Find Existing Community Events and Meetings – Participating in planned and scheduled events can be a great way to reach members of your community. Check with your local emergency management organizations for local events to partner with.
Reach Out to Your Local Citizen Corps Council – Citizen Corps Councils and Citizen Corps' program partners and affiliates provide training and volunteer opportunities to support you, your family, first responders, and your community in an emergency. Visit www.citizencorps.gov to learn more.
Share Online Use a variety of tools to promote Ready Army to an even wider audience on the internet and in social media. Use your website – Post Ready Army web banners on your website or post links to the Ready Army campaign's public service announcements (PSAs). You can also post local information and links to preparedness events in your community.
Social media – Use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or a blog to reach out to your community about Ready Army.
Email and Newsletters – Do not forget to include emergency preparedness messages in your email signature, monthly newsletters, or other messaging tools.
Preparedness Resources Consider the following resources to display or highlight when you plan a preparedness meeting or event. You can access many of these online at ReadyArmy.mil or Ready.gov.
"Individual, family, and community preparedness is the cornerstone of any successful EM program. The preparedness at the community level contributes directly to the success of the evacuation and mass care efforts by the EM program. Community preparedness establishes a buffer between the onset of the emergency and the reestablishment of essential and routine services by installation and civilian and commercial providers. It is the goal of community preparedness efforts that individuals and families should be prepared to survive for a minimum of 72 hours before the restoration of essential services, such as the distribution of water, food, and emergency supplies. Within the Army, all installations shall establish and execute the Ready Army Campaign (http://www.ready.army.mil)."

Significance and Use
4.1 The combination of stress and moisture decreases the durability of most adhesive joints. Stresses in the presence of water or water vapor may cause some adhesive joints to fail at some small fraction of the stress required to break the dry joint. The time to failure for a given adhesive joint generally decreases with increasing stress, temperature, and relative humidity.
4.2 This test method may be used as an accelerated screening test for assessing the durability of adhesive joints. It may be used to measure durability of adhesive joints exposed outdoors or to environmental conditions experienced by adhesive joints in service. It may also be used to determine the effects of various surface preparations or substrates on durabilities of adhesive joints.
4.3 The durability performance of various adhesives may be compared by using this test method under uniform sets of conditions. To assess the overall durability of a given adhesive, T-peel joints should be tested under a range of stress, relative humidity, and temperature. For a specific end use it may be possible to obtain the needed durability data using only one set of test conditions.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method provides data for assessing the durabilities of adhesive joints by means of T-peel type specimens stressed in contact with air, air in equilibrium with certain solutions, water, aqueous solutions, or other environments at various temperatures.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

The spirit of Arthas, formerly the Lich King, has wandered Azeroth for two years until finding his way to the Dark Portal. He has passed through and gone to Netherstorm, where he summoned all his remaining power and cut through the fabric of space. He has now crossed the Twisting Nether and landed at a lost and forgotten shard of Outland. It is called Shatterland, true home of the arakkoa. He has corrupted a majority of the remaining arakkoa and taken hold of the spire in which the arakkoa council once ruled. He has named it the Shattered Spire and plans to take control of Shatterland, proving to be far more satisfying than Northrend.

US 2172890 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) P 2 1939- I E. M. PII-HLLIPS 2,172,890 REMOVABLE SEAT covrm Filed Nov. 26, 1937 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 awe/Moo izmz w kzz'zgw Hum/M Sept. 12, 1939 PHI 2,172,890 ' REMOVABLE SEAT covrm Filed Nov. 26, 1937 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 J 6. .13 Z) 15 Patented Sept. 12, 1939 iJNiTED STATES PATENT FF 1 Claim. This invention relates to fabric slip covers of the type employed in connection with motor vehicle seat cushions, or in connection with chairs, davenports and other similar articles of furniture, the invention being particularly concerned with the design of such seat covers and the pro vision of cooperative means for effecting their ready and convenient attachment to or removal from associated seat structures. Seat covers, as now designed for use, particularly on motor vehicle seat cushions, are difficult and tedious to remove and apply. Generally, the seat covers of the prior art are held in their applied positions by the use of a multiplicity of pins, snap fasteners, elastic bands and/or tying cords. Seat covers to be effective in protecting the garments of motor vehicle occupants from soil, or in protecting the upholstery fabric of the seat cushions, should be kept clean by frequent laundering. As they are now constructed and applied, the difficulties attending their removal and application are so arduous that the tendency of most vehicle owners is to neglect the required renovation of the covers, with the result that they are used for long periods after cleaning is required, possess an unsightly appearance, and do not perform their intended service. These conditions are so well known that many motorists do not use seat covers, even though their advantages are well recognized. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a new seat cover and attaching means therefor which conjointly provide an unusually high degree of convenience in eifccting application to or removal from vehicle seat cushions, to the end of enabling such operations to be so quickly and easily performed that objections to the use of seat covers will be largely overcome and, further, enabling such coverings to be readily kept in their required state of cleanliness so that their maximum effectiveness may be realized. Another object resides in the provision of a seat cover which, when in its applied position, will be held smooth, unwrinklcd and taut so that its appearance will be attractive and orderly. A further object resides in the provision of a seat cover of improved and simplified design, and one which will be quite economical and convenlent to manufacture. For a further understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and the accompanying drawings, wherein: Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a motor vehicle seat structure having applied thereto the seat cover and cooperative fastening means forming the present invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View taken through the seat structure and my improved slip cover therefor; Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal sectional View on the plane indicated by the line III-III of Fig. 2 and disclosing the fastening means utilized in removably securing the ends of the seat cover to the frame of the seat structure; Fig. 4 is a detail enlarged vertical sectional view taken through the cover at the point of junction between the lower cushion of a seat structure and the back cushion; Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the attaching plates; Fig. 6 is a blank view of the seat cover forming the present invention; Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view of one of the attaching bars, which is removably positioned in the end hems of the cover. The seat cover, comprising the present invention, is formed from a substantially rectangular fabric strip l, as indicated in Fig. 6 of the drawings. The strip I may be of any suitable fabric customarily used in slip cover manufacture. At its opposite ends, the strip or sheet of fabric is longitudinally hemmed as at 2 and 3, and intermediately of its length as at 4. These hems are adapted to receive removable fastening members which are employed in securing the slips in their applied positions on associated seat struc tures. The portion 5 of the strip formed between" the hems 3 and 4 is used to cover the removable seat cushion 6 of the seat structure of a motor vehicle, while the portion '5 of the fabric strip is adapted to cover and protect the back cushion 8 of said seat structure. The cushions 6 and 8 are suitably positioned on the frame 9 of the seat structure in the usual manner. The portion 5 of the strip i is formed with side wings Ill which, when the seat cover is applied, engage with the sides of the seat cushion B, as shown in Fig. 1. Snap fasteners I! are used to unite the overlapping edge portions of the wings it] and contiguous edges of the portion 5 of the seat cover. The ends of the cover are secured to the seat structure of the vehicle by the provision of flat metallic bars 12 which are removably received within the horns 2 and 3. The ends of the bars [2 are provided with openings l3, which are positioned over threaded studs I4 which project from metallic brackets I5. One pair of these brackets is secured to the frame constituting the rear of the back cushion 8. Preferably, threaded screws I 6 are used in holding the brackets 15 in their applied positions. The threaded studs 14 receive exteriorly knurled nuts H, which engage with the ends of the bars l2 to hold the latter in. secured but removable clamped relationship with the brackets l5. Likewise, the intermediate hem 4 receives a cylindrical rod l8 which is located immediately below the bottom of the back cushion 8 and the rear of the seat cushion 5, the adjoining portions of said cushions holding the rod 58 against displacement so that the same will exert a drawing action on the portions 5 and l of the cover to hold the latter taut, stretched or free of Wrinkles when in its applied position. From the foregoing, it will be seen that in order to remove the cover from the seat structure, it is necessary merely to remove the nuts I! from the studs I4, and to move the seat cushion 6 away from the back cushion 8. The seat cover may be then readily freed from its attaching means, and the bars l2 and the rod 18 may be removed from the hems 2, 3 and 4. This enables the seat cover to be readily laundered following a given period of use. In re-attaching the seat cover, the above procedure is of course reversed. The construction enables the seat cover to be removed or applied simply and conveniently and requires but a few minutes time. From Fig. 4 of the drawings, it will be noted that the intermediate hem 4 is made double to provide a pair of casings IQ and 20. In this manner, a certain degree of adjustability is secured to adapt the cover to seats having varying depths and backs with varying heights. Another advantage resulting from this construction is the fact that in the event the cover should shrink, due to laundering, the second casing 20 may be used and the cover will fit without alteration. What is claimed is: A motor vehicle seat cover comprising a rectangular body of fabric, a hem formed at each end of said body, a plurality of transversely extending hems provided intermediate of the length of said body, said intermediate hems forming a pair of tubular casings, a fabric wing section secured to each side of said body between the intermediate hems and one end, said wing sections being disposed in closer relation to said intermediate hems than to the end of said body, means for detachably connecting the side edges of said body between the wings and the end nearest thereto with the adjacent edge of said wings, substantially rigid bars positioned in said hems, and means carried by the frame of the vehicle seat and cooperating with the end bars to hold said cover in position on said seat, the bar in one of said intermediate hems being alternately positionable in one casing formed by said hems to adapt the cover to seats of various sizes.

A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness
Frustrating beyond belief.
Ben Russell (b.1976, USA) is a media artist and curator whose films, installations, and performances foster a deep engagement with the history and semiotics of the moving image. Formal investigations of the historical and conceptual relationships between early cinema, documentary practices, and structuralist filmmaking result in immersive experiences concerned at once with ritual, communal spectatorship and the pursuit of a "psychedelic ethnography."
A 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship and 2010 FIPRESCI award recipient, Ben has had solo screenings and exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Viennale, and the Museum of Modern Art. He began the Magic Lantern screening series in Providence, Rhode Island, was co-director of the artist-run space BEN RUSSELL in Chicago, IL, has toured worldwide with film/ video/ performance programs and was named by Cinemascope in 2012 as one of the "50 Best Filmmakers Under 50." Ben lives between the USA and Europe and is currently calling every new location home.

I totally agree with Juan B. Thankfully the opening intro was so beautiful I decided to give it a chance even after the group communal conversation scenes wore on me....

"I like to look into a chaotic scene and try to find a real moment of calmness," says Nelson. "Someone you can make a portrait rather than [a subject of] documentary," he says, in reference to a shot of a striking, dark-haired young woman, distinct from the whooping crowd and even from the boyfriend in whose arms she's cradled. We don't know which band she's gazing at with weary, relaxed expression. Her countenance is unconscious and indecipherable, and for that preserved moment she's as enigmatically intriguing as Marshall's master of self-conscious media manipulation, Dylan himself.
Not Fade Away will be on display from September 12 through October 25 at pARTs Photographic Arts, 711 W. Lake St., Mpls.; 824-5500.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I need some fresh eyes on this. I am not even sure if it is readable yet, the y especially.
This is one of two logo's i am working on for library programming.
CyberCamp is a computer camp for kids.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew I have a problem with the name. Cyber Camp sounds like a porno site. I think you need the word camp with cyber and a slogan that puts it in context. But that is marketing not just design. In terms of what you are working on it looks fresh and very sharp and pointy. No problems with your Cyber's
I was thinking it could be humorous to do a bitmap version of the cliche log lettering so often found in campville. Might be a tall order, but it could be sweet if you can pull it off.
Kids like to be hip and techo but Randy has a neat idea what if you combined the two ideas. Maybe your techno Cyber is cut into a log
Wow! Porno and Kids don't mix. I hadn't made that association. Cybercamp runs
during the summertime from mid June to late July. It has just completed its 4th year,
so if the porno association has been made, no one has complained about it.
While learning computers is certainly the focus,
games and crafts are done throughout the day sessions.
Randy, can you explain your idea further.. It sounds interesting. The wood
lettering is cliche, but I'm open to the idea.
Lost but curious
well, here's what i came up with.
The letters need some tweaking.
If you have ideas for this, please share.
It feels like it is falling over or down to the right. Maybe drop the capital "C" a bit and/or make it larger (swallowing the "y"?) to weight the left side a little more.
Andrew like the new version, its more fun with the marshmallow. I like the colors but I'd try Scott's idea.
i like the feall of it but lether "E" is throwing me of, dosnt fow as ewrithing ells
I like it because I would have expected some sort of cheesy digital or techno typeface... I'm grooving on the colors. Earthtones are the way to go, in my opinion.
Maybe you can get a board and use a power drill or router and gouge the name out by hand? Or some balsa and use a woodcarver's knife?
Maybe you can get a board and use a power drill or router and gouge the name out by hand? Or some balsa and use a woodcarver's knife?
Yeah John,
thats a really great idea. Worth doing.
I have kind of put this project on the back burner. The E,A, and M all feel funky to me still.
Working on library signage and budget campaign

Are you talking about MIDI data? If so, try setting "from Max 1" as the port of your MIDI output object in Max, and choosing that as the input device in Logic. (No ReWire required for that.)
