Maine's rocky coastline and offshore islands are home to the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School founded in 1964. Today, from its headquarters in Camden, Maine, the school operates in four locations so students can take a sailing course around the 3,500 islands off the coast of Maine or in the sun-drenched Florida Keys or a backpacking course in the remote moose country of the Northwoods of Maine.
With this expansive and diverse course area, the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School provides a supportive learning environment that will challenge you physically, mentally and socially. You will meet people who share your interests and people who seem nothing at all like you. There will be moments when you're stretched and need to ask others for help and times when you can use your strengths to help others.
You'll meet incredible instructors whose mission is to help you develop inner-strength, self-confidence and technical skills and then they back away to let you and your group realize how much you can do on your own.
Successful completion of a course at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School requires trust, mastery of skills, fitness, confidence, tenacity, leadership, initiative and compassion. The value of the Outward Bound experience and the purpose of Outward Bound is to help people of all walks of life discover their strength of character, their innate ability to lead and the meaning and fulfillment that comes with serving others.

DAYTON, Ohio - Butler held the lead most of the game but a three-run 8th inning keyed Wright State's 4-2 victory over the Bulldogs on Sunday. Junior Bob Akin and freshman Austin Miller each had an RBI single for Butler.
BU was able to jump out in front of the league-leading Raiders due to the pitching effort by freshman Eric Stout. The lefty allowed four runs on seven hits over 7.1 innings and took the lead into the bottom of the 8th.
"Our pitching and defense were good enough to win today. Eric Stout was outstanding on the mound," head coach Steve Farley said. "He and Brad Schnitzer have both been very good these past two weeks."
With Wright State leading 1-0, Butler tied the game in the top of the 3rd as junior Lucas Calderon singled and scored. The Bulldogs got the go-ahead run in the 4th as Miller drove in junior Radley Haddad, who had smacked a single up the middle.
Stout and the Bulldogs held the lead until the Raiders rallied in the bottom of the 8th. Tristan Moore scored the go-ahead run and Ryan Ashe singled and scored to provide the final margin. Michael Schum, who blew Friday's game for Wright State, got the final two outs for his 11th save of the year.
Farley was impressed with his team, especially how they executed the finer points of the game. But 13 Butler strikeouts stranded a lot of Bulldog baserunners over the course of the day.
"I thought we out-executed Wright State in the bunt game," Farley said. "It seemed every inning we had a runner in scoring position. We just couldn't get the big hit today and we struck out way too many times. We didn't put the ball in play enough to give ourselves a chance to score that critical insurance run."
Butler (20-24, 8-13) is scheduled to play at Notre Dame Tuesday, May 1. The next league series is next weekend vs. Youngstown State at Bulldog Park.

Health and Clean Water in Motony
Motony is a tight-knit and welcoming community dedicated to improving the livelihoods of children and adults alike. Since we began working here, Free The Children has seen much development and improvement in the community, specifically in terms of access to education, clean water and a source of income, and education about safe health practices.
Recently, with guidance from Free The Children, the Motony Primary School Environmental Club planted a garden on school grounds. Comprised of a vegetable nursery bed grown with kale, the garden supports the school's nutrition program which ensures that all students are given a healthy and filling lunch so they can focus on learning, not hunger. The school management committee has formed a mini committee to oversee the success of the garden. This mini committee is responsible for ensuring the garden is healthy and producing vegetables throughout the year. To help, the committee recently participated in a training session in which they learned the skills needed for successful vegetable farming.
Students at Motony Primary School are also making progress in terms of health. A health contest was recently held there with the hopes of enhancing students' skills and knowledge of primary disease prevention. As a result of this contest, students now know the different ways diseases are contracted and what they can do to prevent them with locally available nutrients.
Recently, women's groups from neighbouring communities (Emori Joi, Enelerai, Pimbiniet and Salabwek) attended a training session in Motony, which consisted of mini workshops about leadership, record-keeping, minute-taking, report-writing, enterprise selection and conflict resolution.
Motony's women's groups continue to meet and are progressing well. Some group members have visited the Baraka Health Clinic where they've learned more about staying healthy, child welfare and maternal health.
The well at Motony Primary School remains in good condition and is used by the entire community for domestic and animal use. The water coordinator is continuing to do a good job ensuring there is a constant supply of water on school grounds by taking care of necessary repairs early and thoroughly. As a result, the well tanks remain intact and no leakages have been experienced. Because the school and community have this source of clean water there has been a great improvement in general cleanliness and a reduction in waterborne diseases. Students are also able to spend more time learning, not carrying water.

Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Al Gore and UN Climate Body
|Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States and author of An Inconvenient Truth. Photo Credit: Flickr
By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC and the former U.S. Vice President, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said it is "seeking to contribute to a sharper focus on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world's future climate, and thereby to reduce the threat to the security of mankind."
"Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man's control," the committee warned, emphasizing the threat to world peace posed by global warming.
"Extensive climate changes may alter and threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the Earth's resources," the committee said. "Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states."
Al Gore has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians, says the Nobel Peace Prize citation. "He became aware at an early stage of the climatic challenges the world is facing. His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man's control.
He inspired and organized the Live Earth 24 hour global series of concerts in July to raise awareness of Earth's rising temperature, and has trained thousands of people to deliver the message about the dangers of global warming dramatized in his documentary.
There is an active group of more than 100,000 Democrats that is working to persuade Gore to run again for the presidency in 2008, and many have said that if he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he would be more likely to do so. To date, Gore has said he is not interested in another run for the White House, but he has not definitively closed the door.
Through the scientific reports it has issued over the past two decades, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming, said the Nobel Committee.
Thousands of scientists and officials from over 100 countries have collaborated to achieve greater certainty as to the scale of the warming. Whereas in the 1980s global warming seemed to be merely an interesting hypothesis, the 1990s produced firmer evidence in its support. In the last few years, the connections have become even clearer and the consequences still more apparent, the committee said.
Whereas in the 1980s global warming seemed to be merely an interesting hypothesis, the 1990s produced firmer evidence in its support.
Speaking to the UN General Assembly on September 24, Dr. Pachauri detailed the facts of global warming.
"We, the human race, have substantially altered the Earth's atmosphere. In 2005 the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeded the natural range that has existed over 650,000 years," Pachauri said.
"Eleven of the warmest years since instrumental records have been kept occurred during the last 12 years and therefore climate change is accelerating. In the 20th century the increase in average temperature was 0.74 degrees centigrade; sea level increased by 17 cm and a large part of the Northern Hemisphere snow cover vanished," he said.
"Particularly worrisome is the reduction in the mass balance of the glaciers and this has serious implications for the availability of water; something like 500 million people in South Asia and 250 million people in China are likely to be affected as a result," said the IPCC chief.
Indications of changes in the Earth's future climate must be treated with the utmost seriousness, the Nobel Committee said, and "with the precautionary principle uppermost in our minds."
The Nobel prizes bestow a gold medal, a diploma and USD 1.5 million.

Through a storm of Memorial Day shoppers, a swift flash or orange caught my eye. There was Marvin Brooks, a Prada Women's RTW specialist at Neiman Marcus, decked out in Prada, (naturally), and looking oh-so fab.
What he's wearing: Tie-dyed dress shirt, striped square-end tie, dark denim jeans, and chunky blue-green-brown oxford-espadrilles, all from Prada. Vivienne Westwood ring purchased in the London VW store, Prada glasses from Glitter Optics, navy belt from Zara.

A staple on Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed List, Bowles is also recognized as one of the most respected authorities in the worlds of fashion and interiors.
Aside from working under the helm of Anna Wintour, he's written numerous books on the subject of design and curated the wildly popular exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years."

Obama administration would be ill-advised to pursue Annapolis track against all odds
Eytan Bentsur
Published: 02.26.09, 13:22 / Israel Opinion
Eytan Bentsur
President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Special Envoy Mitchell would be well advised to adopt a two-fold Middle East policy: short term and long term.
As long as Hamas remains defiant of any peace agreement with Israel while acting as a full-fledged extremist Iranian agent, we are much closer to the establishment of two Palestinian states than to reaching a two-state solution. The precarious rule of President Abbas, who is at pains to prosecute his Israeli counterparts for the peace negotiations as war criminals, is conducive to an inflammable fiasco.
The principle of "two states" is valid, but its time is not ripe, mainly because of the overshadowing stumbling block of Hamas.
The structure of the comprehensive peace process should be founded on the Arab peace initiative incorporated into the Madrid process, which must be revived.

BOSTON Boston police say a 24-year-old woman was fatally stabbed after being kidnapped in the South Boston neighborhood and forced to drive to several banks.
The body of Amy Lord, a Wilbraham native and 2011 graduate of Bentley University, was found Tuesday afternoon by a bicyclist at the Stony Brook Reservation, in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood.
Police said Lord may have been on the way to the gym when she was kidnapped Tuesday morning. Police said her car, which was located later, had been set afire.
Police on Wednesday said they had not made any arrests in connection with Lord's killing.
On Wednesday evening, police released a list of the five ATMs where Lord's bank account was accessed early Tuesday morning. They are:
– East Boston Savings Bank at 501 Southampton St.
– Metro Credit Union at 1071 Massachusetts Ave.
– Bank of America at 555 Columbia Rd.
– Sovereign Bank at 585 Columbia Rd.
– Citizen's Bank at 217 Adams St.
Police also released surveillance images of Lord, asking the public's assistance with the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 617-343-4470. Anonymous calls may also be made to 1-800-494-TIPS, or by texting the word "tip" to "CRIME" (27463).
A 28-year-old man identified as Edwin Alemany, of Boston, was arrested in connection with an attack on another woman in South Boston early Wednesday morning. The victim of that attack was stabbed, but survived.

Chris Kelly: A colon screen is a small price to pay for extra time with loved ones
I landed head first, like a kite yanked from the sky just as I caught the wind.
I had been in the clouds about an hour, but the journey seemed to pass in seconds. I struggled to stay aloft, but gravity won.
A friendly voice welcomed me back and offered ginger ale and a granola bar. A blue blur pulled my IV and said the doctor would stop by soon. My wife was on the way. I'd be home in no time.
As the sedative fog dissipated, a disappointing truth settled over me: My colonoscopy was over.
Having a camera threaded up your butt is no normal soul's notion of a good time, but you are blissfully unaware during that part of the process. For all the fear and loathing it inspires, the test is laughably easy. It's the studying that sucks. Ingesting several doses of powerful laxatives over 24 hours is like breaking up a fight between alley cats by swallowing the combatants.
The colonoscopy itself is the best nap you will ever have, despite the fact that someone has threaded a camera UP YOUR BUTT. This happy detachment is made possible by Propofol, the anesthetic that sent Michael Jackson to Neverland forever.
Administered by responsible hands, Propofol renders the procedure a pleasant non-event. It's called "Milk of Amnesia" for good reason. I have no memory of either of my two colonoscopies.
Medical guidelines call for a first screening at 50. I'm 45, but my family has a history of colon and other cancers, so my primary doctor scheduled my first test at 42. It turned up one polyp that proved benign. Wednesday's excursion up my alimentary canal revealed two polyps, which I nicknamed Kanye and Kim. They were removed and will be biopsied. Insert your own joke here.
Nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in Northeast Pennsylvania, according to the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. Nearly 1,400 of those people live in Lackawanna County and about 600 of them die. While lung cancer is most common regionally, colorectal cancer outpaces it in Lackawanna County.
If the numbers don't move you, maybe Ray Wagner will. Ray died last month after an exhausting struggle with colon cancer. He was 66, a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. In every sense but biological, Ray's son, Mike (everyone calls him Wagner), is my brother.
When my Dad died (also at 66), Wagner and Kate - his wife in every sense but legal - crossed the state to stand by me and Chrissy. We would have walked to Ray's viewing in Philadelphia. The funeral home was adorned with pictures of Ray with the people he loved most. He outlived his vessel, a triumph despite the abrupt end to his journey.
All kites must one day fall. Frames fail. Wings corrode. Gravity is greedy and the wind will only carry us so far. A day on the toilet and an hour in the clouds seems like a small price to pay for a chance to catch the wind.

Syria's Bashar al-Assad files papers for presidential run
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had registered to run
for re-election. Although he is one of seven candidates, he is widely expected to win.
The speaker of the Syrian parliament, Mohamed al-Lahham, announced on Monday
that Assad had submitted the necessary paperwork to stand for president.
Lahham then read out a letter, which he said the president had submitted do
"I …Dr. Bashar Hafez al Assad … wish to nominate myself for the post of president of
the republic, hoping that parliament will endorse it," it said.
Changes made to Syria's constitution two years ago will make this the first time that
multiple candidates are being allowed to run for president. Previously, Assad and his
predecessor and father, Hafez al-Assad, had had their candidacies for the job
approved in referendums. In the last one, in 2007, Assad was confirmed in office with
97.6 percent of the vote.
Assad is one of seven candidates who have announced their intention to run in the
June 3 election, but none of the others is seen as having a chance of unseating the
president, who has been in office since 2000.
The election will only take place in parts of Syria controlled by government forces,
meaning that voters in large swathes of the country held by rebel fighters will not be
able to take part.

Hippo VB Semi-Review
Not really a review per se, but a comparison, but a review too, if you squint?
All three are quite well known, I would say, yes? I've typed this up as I felt that the review on ABI doesn't really go in depth between the Atrio and the VB enough, and some call EB capable enough to go head to head with the VB, so...
I used to own a SoundMAGIC PL30, but I no longer own it, so… Besides, it got owned badly even versus an out of box Atrio, so…
Note : Atrio below uses a pair of medium complies, VB and EB their stock single flange medium tips.
I used to own a Cowon D2, but I've shifted to a Clip+ due to the D2 being the King of Chubby and my bag lacking space.
Impressions : Physical
Hippo VB feels the best, due to the metal construct. Atrio's rubber stress relief feels crappy after you've owned it for long, as it gets... fatter? It also becomes more light in colour, making it look off. Shrooms EB feels in between - better than the Atrio, but not as luxurious as the VB.
IOW (In Other Words) : VB > EB > Atrio
Atrio's cables really minimize micro-phonics. EB and VB seem to use the same cable, which has tremendous memory because the VB's cable looks like a drunk monkey drew a line, whereas the Atrio's came with cables that was straight. The Atrio's cables inspire more confidence, too. They feel tougher, and less cheap.
IOW : Atrio > VB = EB
Atrio : Comfort was debatable - I'm not too used to deep insertion, and the biflanges hurt my ears after 1 hour. The stock foam less so, but was very itchy due to the porous nature. It became awesome with the Shure Olives and Complies, though I feel that the complies feel better.
VB / EB : Stock silicon flange feels as comfortable to my ears as the Complies did with the Atrio. I did feel that the VB tugged downwards on my ears more, though to me it's negligible.
IOW : VB = EB > Atrio
Atrio : Easily the loser here. Even after owning it for about a year it takes ages for me to get a proper seal, and even then there are occasions where I can obtain an excellent seal that really shows off the power of these IEM's, but all in all a very painful IEM to use on the go for me, since fitting it in and ensuring a good seal is a tremendous pain.
Very good seal when you get it to seal properly, though.
VB/EB : Shove in and forget about it.
IOW : VB/EB >> Atrio
Atrio : Very isolating.
VB/EB : Not so much.
IOW : Atrio > VB = EB
Long Term Upkeep
Foam tips cost. Monthly. Or Bi-Monthly with Olives. The foams might look clean, but the Olives lose their comfort and Complies break into pieces.
IOW : VB = EB > Atrio
Atrio : A large-ish carrying case with a occasionally lousy zipper, 3 pairs of biflanges in S, M, L sizes and 2 pairs of foam tips of S, M and L size. Loop cleaning tool looks amusing, like the thing my mother's beautician uses to squeeze blackheads.
VB : Nicely sized Case (Though I'd preferred it more cubic, though) + 3 pairs of silicon single flange tips + tuning plates.
EB : Small Pouch + tips. (Would it have killed them to give a larger pouch? I have hard time getting the EB's in.)
IOW : Atrio > VB > EB
Impressions : Audiological
(Note : VB's not fully burnt in, will update again when they are.)
Overall, I prefer the Futuresonics sound. They don't emphasise highs that much, leading to a very smooooooth sound output. They feel more comfortable to my ears than the VB, which is a quite a close second. Hopefully burn in will reduce the gap, as the only gripe I have with it is the quite harsh highs. Atrio makes music music, and less fatiguing, but then again I've never felt as though I wanted to quit even after a four hour session with the VB. Unlike with the EB…
EB is unfortunately last. They'd wear me out after an hour or so, due to the more emphasized highs. EB's does have more clarity – more details, but VB and Atrio present a more comfortable, more engaging sound to my ears.
VB also has consistently better bass than the Atrio – no thanks to the fickleness of the seal in the Atrios. Quantity wise VB's also offer more, but then again on good days when the stars align I have the memory of the Atrio's sounding as good, or even better than the VB, even at lower volume levels. Then again, the stars don't align every time I want them to.
I'm not particularly focused on clarity, but VB has more clarity than the Atrio due to the more emphasized highs. I could hear more details in the highs that I never noticed with the Atrio, though.
The soundstage on both VB and Atrio probably draw, though, since I can't really decide which is more 'open'. EB has a narrower soundstage.
(Note : I can't hear any hiss from all 3, in case anyone was wondering.)
IOW : Atrio > VB >> EB
Conclusion : I'm a cheapo
A VB can be obtained at roughly two sevenths the price of an Atrio in Singapore if you know where to look, though it'd be second hand goods. Otherwise EB's/VB's are S$99, and Atrio costs S$200+ (not sure on this), and given that VB is nearly 90% my Atrio after 10 hours of burn in I sold my Atrio. What else? I'm a poor student.
Value : VB wins all.

Hey rickysio; Welcome to ABi...nice work there - am sure folks will find your impressions of use.
I don't have the Atrios or the Hippo EB, but do have [and love the VBs] - I agree with nearly all your comments, disagreeing only with the Isolation portion.
For me, I find the VBs to isolate very well as compared to other IEMs I have owned [see my sig], with both the stock eartips [large] and with the Sony Hybrid tips.
In any event, nice work!

A Glossary for Newbies
Very nice post, Rickysio - I pretty much agree with everything you said. Just that I found the Atrio too dark to be thoroughly enjoyable for me in the long run and prefer the somewhat less refined, yet more prominent treble of the VB. But that's just personal preference, like so many things in audio.
The VB should get better, in my experience - 10 hours aren't that much.
I don't know, my ears don't like emphasized treble. Atrio was fine on that aspect, and I guess I need to burn in my ears with the VB.
Uploading some photos - some equipment (like the D2, and Atrio, and PL30) is long gone, so I can't get better shots.

Jenelle Evans Is Eager To Become A Teen Mom Bridezilla
August 19, 2014 12:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Jenelle Evans' current relationship may not be perfect, but it's clear that Nathan Griffith is a better match for the Teen Mom star than Kieffer Delp or Courtland Rogers. The two have already welcomed a child into the world, and now, they are thinking about making their relationship official. Will Jenelle's second marriage be any better than her first?
Could Nathan Griffith be thinking of putting a ring on it and proposing to Jenelle Evans? That seems to be the implication, based on a recent update to Jenelle's Twitter page. The other day, the reality star shared a picture of a jewelry store, where she and her baby daddy were clearly looking at engagement rings. Although Jenelle has otherwise been acting coy about engagement rumors on Facebook, this recent photo suggests that the lovebirds are ready to make a full commitment to one another. Jenelle's relationship with Nathan is certainly more stable than her past romances. Perhaps, if they decided to tie the knot, the two would actually manage to remain together for more than a few months!
Engagement ring shopping is certainly not the only romantic expedition Nathan and Jenelle have embarked on in the past few days. The cute couple recent bonded during a horseback riding session, which Jenelle made a point of documenting on Twitter. The reality star explained that the horse she rode was named Dolly, adding, "She was a very easy and cooperative horse to ride."
Do you think Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith are the real deal? Or is Jenelle's toxic relationship pattern bound to continue? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below.

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are one of the greatest contributions to yoga He was a great sage who systematized and organized the study and teachings of yoga. He is considered being the originator of yoga science. There is a saying in Sanskrit, "One who was born first, the first who came into manifestation, was the first teacher of yoga." Patanjali was only the codifier of yoga science. He was a great yogi who practiced, who knew, and who made experiments. Patanjali was an enlightened being, a sage, who has given us yoga science for the benefit of all human beings.

Health & Science briefs
Dwarf planet likely lacks atmosphere
Not much is known about Makemake, a dwarf planet that circles the sun beyond Pluto. But scientists got a closer glimpse of it last year, when it passed briefly in front of a star.
Previously, researchers believed that the surface temperature of Makemake (pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh) indicated it might have an atmosphere. But the new measurements - based on observations from multiple telescopes in different parts of South America - indicate that Makemake does not have a significant atmosphere.
The researchers also determined that Makemake reflects about 77 percent of the sun's light, comparable to the reflection made by dirty snow, and that it is flattened at both poles.
The findings were reported in the journal Nature.
Smoking areas affect nearby sites
Five large-hub airports in the United States have designated indoor smoking areas. According to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they all have unhealthy air - even in places where no one smokes.
Researchers placed air monitors in smoking and adjacent nonsmoking areas at international airports in Denver, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and Washington for two weeks.
Measured in micrograms per cubic meter, the average level of particulate pollution in four large smoke-free airports was 8.0. In the partially enclosed smoking areas of the five airports, the level was 188.7 micrograms, and in areas adjacent to the smoking rooms it was 43.7 micrograms.
The pollution level in smoking areas of the five airports was 23 times as high as the level in nonsmoking airports, and the average in adjacent areas was five times as high.
Low vitamin D level linked to diabetes
A new study has found a strong correlation between low vitamin D blood levels and Type 1 diabetes.
Researchers examined frozen blood samples taken between 2002 and 2008 from 1,000 active-duty military personnel, who all later developed Type 1 diabetes. They matched each with a sample from a healthy person of the same age and sex drawn within two days of the same date, and then tracked cases through 2011.
Compared with those who had vitamin D levels above 40 nanograms per milliliter of blood, those with readings of 17 nanograms or less were more than three times as likely to develop Type 1 diabetes, the researchers found.
Military personnel with readings between 17 and 23 nanograms were more than twice as likely to develop the disease.
Job loss raises heart attack risk
Unemployment increases the risk of heart attack, a new study reports, and repeated job loss raises the odds still more.
In a prospective analysis from 1992 to 2010 with interviews every other year, researchers tracked job history and heart attacks among more than 13,000 people ages 51 to 75.
The study, published online Nov. 19 in The Archives of Internal Medicine, recorded 1,061 heart attacks over the period.
After adjusting for well-established heart attack risks, the researchers found that being unemployed increased the risk of a heart attack by an average of 35 percent.
Losing one job was linked to a 22 percent increase in heart attack risk, losing two jobs with a 27 percent increase, three jobs with a 52 percent increase, and a loss of four or more jobs with a 63 percent increase.

The Kkyboard is nice
This review is from: SMK-LINK VP6610 Black USB VersaPoint Wireless Slim Desktop Suite
Pros: The keyboard has a nice look to it and so does the mouse. The keyboard has nice fn buttons and types well.
Cons: The mouse is terrible overall. If you ever want to play a game that involves aiming you should buy a diffrent mouse as this one is choppy and if you press the left and right mouse buttons down it locks up and doesnt move. So for games like TF2 or COD this mouse is useless.

Angelina Love in a bikini
A photo on Instagram of TNA Knockout Angelina Love and a couple of really hot friends all wearing skimpy bikinis.
April 13, 2015
Angelina Love naked
Rumors are floating around that there are Angelina Love naked photos in existence. Thus far, none have surfaced online. The ones being passed around by the internet wrestling community are generally fake ones. At most, the TNA Knockout has posed topless before, but in those instances, she usually has something covering up her magnificent breasts. The closest that we will get to seeing her completely nude is photographs of her wearing a skimpy bikini.

The Sarrazin Debate: Germany Is Becoming Islamophobic
Thilo Sarrazin's comments about Muslims have triggered outrage in Germany and abroad, but have met with willing listeners among the general public. His rhetoric is slowly bringing about change in Germany, transforming it from a tolerant society into one dominated by fear and Islamophobia.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin knew how to fight the plague. He knew catchy, seductive tunes and was successful against the scourge with his unconventional methods. But because society paid him no tribute and refused to pay him the wages he had been promised for his service, he decided to take a radical step and lure away the children of Hamelin. In doing so, he destroyed the very community he had once set out to save.
Opinions may differ among those who seek to interpret Sarrazin's behavior. The important thing is that he is someone who has gone from being a tough-talking, audacious politician and anarchic prankster (see quote gallery) to a racist anti-Muslim who makes up nonsense about the genetic basis of intelligence and the "German-Jewish origins of intelligence research." Those ideas have prompted him to voice his concerns over Germany's "cultural identity" and "national character," and to blame Muslim immigrants and their supposed non-culture for all the problems of integration -- ignoring the fact that both the immigrants and the host country have a responsibility.
"We," he says, referring to German society as a whole, are unavoidably becoming less intelligent because Muslims, who Sarrazin characterizes as being unwilling to integrate, alien and cognitively challenged, are producing the most children in Germany. Sarrazin magnanimously allows that there are, of course, exceptions in the Islamic world, perhaps a few intelligent Turks here and there. But his views essentially eliminate the need to even address the issue of a controlled immigration policy, of which Sarrazin himself has been such a vehement proponent in the past. Sarrazin, in one of his typical turns of phrase, said that Muslims ought to "disappear." From that point of view, integration is unimaginable, possible only through death -- which is naturally also one way to solve the problem.
Selective Statistics
The respected Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper called Sarrazin's book an "anti-Muslim dossier based on genetics." Chancellor Angela Merkel reacted with irritation. Stephan Kramer, the general secretary of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, suggested that the author consider joining the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD).
The interior minister of the city-state of Berlin, Ehrhart Körting, a member of the SPD, expects the book to trigger legal action over hate speech. "Thilo is currently drifting away," he says. "He always had a fondness for statistics. But in the integration debate he uses only those statistics that fit in with his image of the enemy."
Christian Gaebler, who is head of the SPD in the Berlin neighborhood of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, where Sarrazin is registered, said: "Enough is enough. Should Mr. Sarrazin not go willingly, we are initiating proceedings to throw him out of the party. We will carefully analyze his book and discuss the issue at our next state executive board meeting on Sept. 6."
Sarrazin's rhetoric has even triggered outrage abroad. In France, the daily newspaper Le Monde called him a "racist provocateur." But the widespread rebuke among politicians and in the media (his fellow bankers have remained eloquently silent on the controversy) is only one side of the coin. Sarrazin's theories, in the form of excerpts from his book and quotes published in SPIEGEL, the tabloid newspaper Bild and the weekly newspaper Die Zeit, have also found willing listeners within a highly anxious population. In fact, they almost have majority appeal.
Socially Acceptable
The Turkish-German writer and sociologist Necla Kelek made a speech at the presentation of Sarrazin's book on Monday in which she defended his ideas. Kelek is a fan of Sarrazin and has won several awards in Germany, bestowed by people who -- like her -- see all the problems of the world as being caused by Islam.
The book was already at the top of the German Amazon's list of bestsellers when it was published. Every threat to eject Sarrazin from his party or his position at the Bundesbank only enhances his notoriety. But if nothing happens, he can feel all the more validated.
If Sarrazin were a lone wolf, an agitator in a desert with no supporters, he could be dismissed as a freakish phenomenon. But with his seductive flute-playing, the man now has a host of acolytes, including women of Muslim descent who ostentatiously refuse to wear a headscarf and other copycats. Shrill rhetoric is in vogue, and hysterical Islam-bashing is in full swing. Sarrazin and his fellow cynics became socially acceptable long ago.
Of course, these fears are not completely unfounded. Conditions in areas like Berlin's Kreuzberg neighborhood give rise to very real, justified concerns. There are schoolrooms where three-quarters of the students are from immigrant families, students whose German is barely good enough to get by. There are Arab and Albanian family clans that control crime syndicates and receive welfare benefits. There are phenomena like forced marriages and honor killings. In some mosques, imams are encouraging the faithful to engage in Islamist terror. All of this exists, and yet it has nothing to do with ordinary Islam and the day-to-day lives of well over 90 percent of Germany's Muslims. And yet these are precisely the kinds of things that fuel cheap attempts to create stereotypes of Muslims as the enemy.

Southcoast wants to help you be as healthy as possible — and one way is to help teach children the dangers of smoking.
Nurses from Charlton Memorial Hospital and Fall River Public Schools health educators collaborated to bring Tar Wars to fourth and fifth grade students.
Tar Wars is a tobacco use education program supported by the Louis F. Fayan Fund at Charlton and Southcoast Hospital Group's Community Benefits Program.
Volunteer nurses from Charlton teach fifth grade students about the dangers of tobacco use. Students are given a short lecture followed by interactive stations. A poster contest reinforces what students learn and provides them with an opportunity to win prizes.
See this year's winning posters.
Campaign promotes safe sleep for infants
The Bristol County District Attorney's Community Outreach Division has launched a public service campaign with Southcoast Hospitals called "Safe Sleep Program — Dangers of Bed Sharing."
The Bristol County Child Fatality Review Team reported an increase in bed-sharing infant deaths in 2005. Out of 30 child fatalities, six were bed-sharing deaths as compared to two out of 22 infant deaths in 2004.
The Bristol County District Attorney Paul F. Walsh Jr. is raising awareness on the serious problem of infant deaths as a result of bed sharing. The three Southcoast hospitals — Charlton Memorial in Fall River, St. Luke's in New Bedford and Tobey Hospital in Wareham — are the primary providers of maternity services in Southeastern Massachusetts and support this important public service campaign.
Providing a safe place for babies to sleep can solve this problem.
Hit the beach with a Southcoast beach towel
The next time you head to the shore, take along a Southcoast beach towel — and help support Southcoast Hospitals.
Our new plush velour beach towels are $20 each, plus tax and shipping — and are available now.
We'll even throw in some free sunscreen!

I have a new situation developing in my map-making system; doing cities/towns/villages/hamlets.
Naming them is no problem for me (I mean, come on!); I write short stories for fun! On the other hand, it is making them on a map. Normally, I find in my experience that in order to understand the settings you make, you first have to make the settings you want to make.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
Meanwhile, I cannot seem to find a decent enough tutorial within our wonderful guild that can help me create a city map within GIMP.
Can anyone help me out here?!

I have a system that takes information from an external source and then stores it to be displayed later.
One of the data items is a date. On the source system they have the concept of a fuzzy date i.e. not accurate to a specific day or sometimes not to a month as well. So I get dates in the format:
I can parse these to DateTime objects and work with these but when rendering later I need to be able to determine the accuracy of the date since parsing "2010" will result in a date of "01/01/2010". I want to show just the year so need to know it's original accuracy.
I've mocked up a quick class to deal with this:
public class FuzzyDate
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public DateType Type { get; set; }
public enum DateType
This will do the job for me and I can do something on the parse to handle it but I feel like this is probably quite a common problem and there is probably an existing cleaner solution.
Is there something built into .Net to do this? I had a look at the culture stuff but that didn't quite seem right.
Any help would be appreciated.
