Peek Inside 22 Vintage Lesbian Pulp Novels
Pulp fiction novels were wildly popular in the 1950's and 60's. These inexpensive paperback novels were filled with sex, some violence, cliches, and lots and lots of adjectives.
Stories with overtly sexual lesbian themes also became widespread during that time. They had provocative covers and seriously confusing synopses. They were billed as "Shocking!" and "Thrilling!" But what happens inside? Do the stories themselves make any more sense than the synopses do?
We went to the Lesbian Herstory Archives to investigate. The books tell tales of tropes we had hoped would have ended by now, i.e. a character hating men so she becomes a lesbian, and scenes that are still going strong, such as lesbians in jail cells. With some of them, we still have no idea what's going on. Oh, well. The covers are still brilliant.
1. Dyke On The Loose
Back cover:
Steve was paying too much attention to his job, Julie thought, and not enough to the desperate desires of her willing young body. Nothing she could do could get Steve to stay at home with her…and she tried everything!
So finally Julie was driven into the twisted world of Lesbianism, a world she thought she'd left behind her. But the demands of her body had to be satisfied, and the torrid embrace of another woman was just the answer Julie craved.
Then one woman wasn't enough, and Julie flew from woman to woman, from bed to bed, until it looked as if her marriage was beyond help.
A bold and provocative look inside:
When Julie's husband couldn't take care of her in the bedroom department, she sought love in the arms of other women — for only their voluptuous bodies and offbeat desires could satisfy her unnatural needs.
This is Julie's Story — but it could be the story of any one of millions of housewives across the country. It is the bold, provocative tale of what happens when a husband fails his wife in the most important area of all — sex.
2. Gay Interlude
Back cover:
An honest and introspective look into a realm of emotion that no man may share. Here, in this bold and revealing novel, the author takes you into the minds and hearts of women caught in the hellish grip of lesbianism. This is a tender, thoughtful story, a story so personal that no matter how you feel now, you will have compassion for these women at the conclusion of the book.
A heartbreaking look inside:
"I can't go on like this," Carol said.
Tab leaped from the bed. "What are you saying? What's wrong?"
"Tab," Carol wailed, "please try to understand."
"Understand what?"
"I'm not gay!" Carol screamed, clutching her fists to her temples. "I'm not! I never was! I just can't be, Tab, I can't!"
Tab stared at the beautiful blonde girl. Her pulse throbbed and fear clutched at her breast. "Carol," she said in a low voice, "Carol, I love you."
"Stop it, Tab! Stop it!"
"I love you, Carol."
"Well, don't," the girl screamed, beating at her head with clenched fists. "I can't go on like this!"
"Come to me, Carol."
"No!" The girl whirled and ran from the room, the sobs of anguish trailing her.
3. Lesbian Wife
Back cover:
Pat was slender, with practically no womanly breast features at all. She looked more like a man, except for her hair. Nature had played a dirty trick on her. Her body was a man's with something missing; her desires were a man's with something added. And she was determined to take her revenge on nature upon the bodies of pretty girls the world over. And she did it with all the savagery she could muster.
A worrisome look inside:
Mary had paid money for girls before, young luscious girls who would, for a price let a hunchbacked, young but not very luscious woman have them. But only part of this moment was familiar because there were other things torturing the desire in Mary. The platinum-haired whore could only hide part of her revulsion, then her greed made her peel down one shoulder strap. The size and solidity of the jutting white cone pinked with promise made Mary's distorted body whip tight with wanting.
"Lovely darling," Mary breathed. "Here — let me!"
4. This Can't Be Love
An exhausting look inside:
Like fighting cats, the two women pounced upon each other. The impact forced them both to the floor where they rolled and kicked and scratched. Jan seized clothing, which gave way in her fingers, and she felt her own garments being torn from her body.
"She's mine!" Jan cried, panting. "And you're not going to move in."
"We'll see about that!" Arlene shouted back at her.
They renewed the attack. In a moment tatters of clothing fell about the floor. Blouses shredded first, then bras as the groping fingers pulled them loose. Naked to the waist, both women rolled and thrashed about.
5. Pagan Summer
Back cover:
For Muriel, it was the chance of a lifetime, being hired as a resident nurse and personal companion to the young socialite who had been widowed on her wedding night. Erin Lenox had the face of an angel and the body of a goddess and the shock of her tragedy had left her seething with unfulfilled needs and pathetically vulnerable and susceptible to any form of affection.
Muriel knew it was only a matter of time before she'd be able to show the girl a different kind of love … a different source of forbidden passion. And, once initiated, Muriel was confident that their roles would be reversed…she'd be the mistress and Erin Lenox, the slave.
She'd own that lovely face, that glorious body…and most of all, all that wonderful money!
A innuendo-filled look inside:
The beach was hot. Hot and deserted. Muriel sighed and looked down at the smooth-skinned girl lying on the beach mat. There as still need for caution. Someone could appear on the beach at any moment and discover them. For the first time she felt uncertain. Even so, her body ached to come into contact with that soft, feminine flesh.
"Muriel?" The cry was plaintive.
"Aren't you going to give me a massage?"
For a long, thrilling moment, Muriel gazed down at the young girl. The silky-tanned skin. The rounded thighs that offered such warm invitation.
The young girl opened her eyes. "Muriel?"
"Please. Aren't you going to…"
Silence. It was dangerous to feel this passionate. Muriel tried to fight her growing desire. Even the tips of her fingers tingled with excitement. "All right, baby, but not a massage. I know what you really want…"
6. Come Sin With Me!
Back cover:
THE TWILIGHT LAND between the sexes.
A woman in love with women, yet driven by her erotic lust to even more degrading acts!!
A surprising look inside:
Jan felt Marion's arms encircle her tightly and her lips press against her hotly as she murmured incoherent words…she pulled Marion's hard, spare body to her and crushed her lips against the other's seeking mouth with a passion that surprised her.
"Oh, Marion," she moaned. "I never knew! I didn't realize it could be this way."
7. Sisterhood Of The Flesh
Back cover:
That's all Melanie wanted to be. To be accepted as a real woman — a full-fledged member of the human race.
But she had two major strikes against her. The first was that she was still a virgin, very far from being a complete, sexually adequate adult — not to mention the fact that men repelled her with their crude, gross, animal-like attempts to take her and bend her to their own rough needs.
The second was her color. The dark skin that kept her segregated, looked down upon…a second-class citizen.
She found one way to strike back at both barriers: by joining a group of girls who found complete ecstasy with each other — who cared nothing about skin coloring, and who had no need of male brutality to supply them with the utmost in fulfillment.
It looked like paradise to Melanie…but she overlooked the serpent in Eden!
An exciting look inside:
"The three of us?"
Ellen and Beth nodded enthusiastically.
Melanie managed a smile. But while she appeared calm, she felt vaguely apprehensive about what was to follow. "What happens now?" she asked.
"The first thing," said Ellen, "is to get rid of all these nasty clothes.
Beth and Ellen removed their sweaters and skirts, matter-of-factly. But Melanie seemed to hesitate.
Ellen's voice softened with sympathy. "I was embarrassed on my first threesome, too. I'll tell you what: just pretend that we're going to take a shower together. We do that all the time, don't we?"
The suggestion worked…
8. Babes Behind Bars
Back cover:
"I've never done this before with a woman," she cried, lifting her face toward the inviting leer on her cellmates face. "Suppose one of the guards finds us together?"
The other girl's leer broke into a knowing grin. "Don't worry about them, honey. It's keeping them out of our little parties that's more of a problem than being caught!"
A criminal look inside:
Ginger lay there in the dark, her heart pounding, a strange, exciting feeling beginning to seep all through her as she listened to the sounds in the dark below her. She heard Lila whisper: "There, that's better, darling. I don't like to have even that old nightgown of yours between us.
Then Maureen whimpered: "No! No! Please don't. Not tonight, please!"
"I can't help it, hon. Just for a moment. Your breasts are so cute and warm and firm. Ahhh!"
Then there was silence for a few moments, except for the sound of increasingly heavy breathing. Then Maureen made a faint, muffled outcry and Lila giggled, and said: "There! I knew you'd like this. Want me to keep it up?"
Maureen practically groaned it: "Oh, yes! Yes!"
9. Dyke Farm
A pendulous look inside:
Sue Ellen lay in the darkness, filled with apprehension. Something about this large woman frightened her, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She felt something when she'd seen Marlene come from the bathroom, naked, her huge breasts hanging pendulously, her hips fat and largely out of proportion even to the rest of her body. There still was this something between them. It was there between them in the darkness, as palpable as the darkness that surrounded them, and though she couldn't explain what exactly it was, yet it was present.
She rolled over to face the middle of the bed. In turning her hand brushed lightly against Marlene's. She pulled back immediately, afraid that she had offended the older woman.
They lay silently in the darkness after that, breathing softly. Then Marlene moved. Her foot brushed briefly against Sue Ellen's leg, but this time Sue Ellen didn't move. She lay there, thrilling to the contact of their bodies, waiting, hoping that there would be something further than these furtive touches to fulfill their evening.
10. Debut Of A Belated Lesbian
Back cover:
"A funny thing happened to me a couple of years ago on the way to my thirty-fourth birthday. I was seduced by one of my closest friends. That in itself isn't too unusual, but, you see, I'm a woman, and the close friend's name is Sarah!"
A gender-ambiguous look inside:
Wanda gaped at the six-foot thing dressed in men's loafers, black sock, V-neck sweater, and men's shirt. It was a 190 pounds on the hoof, with closely chopped hair, and the only way Wanda knew it was female, was that its huge breasts were thrust into Wanda's face. "You mess around with my chick again, you bitch, and I'll break you in two!"
Pat pushed Mary toward a large walk-in closet and said: "There's a hanger of belts in there. Go and get me the one that will hurt you the most!
Mary emerged from the closet holding the longest, heaviest belt that Pat owned. "Now get down on your hands and knees, you bitch!" Pat ordered with a menacing, imperious sneer as she took the belt from Mary…
11. Never Love A Man
A man-hating look inside:
"Hurry," Alestra called.
Carole slipped in beside her.
Alestra's hands played their symphony, striking harsh chords. There were no kisses. The hands were crude, the nails cruelly cutting.
Carole was transfixed. "What has happened to us?"
"Nothing," Alestra said, her actions remorseless.
Carole felt panic mounting. "You're hurting me," she screamed.
And then she felt the world go red, slip away. Before she sank into tortured, outraged pleasure, she heard Alestra's words, enraged behind clenched teeth.
"If it's a man you want, I can fulfill that, too…"
12. Rebel Woman
Back cover:
Violence raged through the island like a deadly plague. Women as well as men were caught up in the merciless fever of revolution.
The rebel soldiers who captured the American, Jim Patterson, were women. But they were as brutal and uncompromising as their male comrades.
For a moment, when Jim recognized their leader to be a girl he had once known and loved, he dared to hope.
But she was "Captain" Rosales now and there was only coldness in her eyes — and hatred of him, of all men.
Then he saw the way she looked at the girl, Dolores, and knew the twisted path she had taken.
As for the others, Jim could only pray that at least on among them was still a woman.
A rebellious look inside:
Delores suddenly picked up a blanket and walked away from the fire. Jim Patterson stared after her. She might be a rebel soldier, but she was the loveliest creature he had ever seen — a Cuban blonde with brown eyes of liquid beauty and a body softly delicate and slender.
Out of the corner of his eye, Patterson could see that Mirtha was also watching the girl, a look of strange hunger on her face.
"I would like to talk to you, Mirtha," Patterson whispered.
"I have nothing to say to you."
"But I can think of much to say to you."
"No." She turned from him and looked for a long moment toward the place where Dolores lay rolled into her blanket. Then she glanced over once more at Patterson.
He let his gaze touch hers, then pulled it away and stared into the fire.
Mirtha picked up a blanket and threw it across her shoulders. Then she went slowly up the incline to where Dolores had made her bed.
13. Lesbian Web Of Evil
Back cover:
The only person Wilma had ever loved was her father; and he'd sent her away because of it. Years later, when she heard of her father's trouble, she hurried back to the morality-ridden town of her youth; she would help him — no matter what she had to do. And her scheme was to result in a town scandal that no one would ever forget!
A bloody look inside:
The touch was the touch of death. Sudden death. That aroma was a mixture of heady perfumes, fragrant, female, frankly sexy. Sound-point, counterpoint-a young girl's heavy breathing, the steady pitter-patter of shower flow pelting flesh and bathtub porcelain. The taste was the dryness of fear and horror, salt-flavored with unshed tears, sour with the bile of nightmare nausea. And sight. The unseen scene. A small motel room, bath adjoining. The room dark with night, the bathroom bulb-lit. Half in, half out of the tub, bent backwards with hair cascading into the small puddle forming on the floor, sprawled the body of a young girl. From just under the swell of one scarlet-tipped breast protruded the handle of an ice pick. Her eyes were wide open, staring. She was dead.
14. Lesbian Limbo
An impulsive look inside:
Bea felt herself flush with embarrassement. She'd never thought of herself as pretty. Suddenly she had the impulse to kiss the beautiful woman in gratitude. She planted a warm kiss firmly on the woman's mouth. Betty responded, and the kiss lasted a very long time. Bea felt her heart pounding within her as the woman's tongue searched inside of her mouth. She pressed up close to the woman, wanting more.
When they broke apart, the woman's dark eyes searched hers. "Did I offend you?"
"No," Bea felt a dizziness engulf her, and her arms went more tightly around the woman. "It…it was…wonderful…"
Suddenly the woman's mouth came down again on hers. Their arms went around each other hungrily. But then Betty pushed her away, gently. "Come, we'll lie on the bed."
15. I Am A Lesbian
Back cover:
Stories relating to lesbianism are very numerous today. This is surely proof that people are interested in the subject and its treatment. Lesbians are a part of our society and they will very likely remain so. In this book Lora Sela does not write that its characters have tendencies; instead they are real lesbians whose hearts are as warm and deserving of understanding as any other segment of our human life.
A cheesy look inside:
It was while I clerked at Hansen's Dress Shop that I met the girl who I knew at first glance could be as close to me, as all-important, as in my loneliness I'd dreamed a girl could be. She was the accountant at the store. Jan Nelson! Her name was Janet, but ever since she could remember no one had called her anything but Jan. Jan suited her.
I'd never known anyone like her!
Jan was tall, slender, broad-shouldered. She always dressed in blouses and skirts, or trim, tailored suits. She walked with long steps. Her stride was graceful. And her voice, while deeper than most women's, was always gentle.
Jan's dark-blonde hair had a slight wave in it. She wore it cut short, parted on one side and combed back behind her ears. There was a natural dignity about this quiet girl. She had about her the essence of sincerity, as some women wear about them an aura of perfume.
The first moment I saw her, when she came out of her cubbyhole in the business office and said, "Hello!" in her throaty voice, my heart knew what it means to thrill.
A week later, when she asked me to go to lunch with her, my world really began.
As we had spaghetti and cheese, French bread and coffee in a booth for two at Tony's Italian Cafe, I was fascinated by Jan. I couldn't take my eyes off her face. I didn't even glance at the food, which I hardly tasted. All I thought of was, With Jan I could really be happy. Jan could really be happy with me. And in a psychic way I was sure that Jan knew it too.
16. The Loyal Lez
Back cover:
He hit her sharply, driving her to the wall, blood trickling from her mouth. Slowly she came back to him and spit in his face. He hit her again. For Robin, he symbolized every man she'd ever known.
A psycho-sexual look inside:
IN HIS BOOK, PSYCHO-SEXUAL PROBLEMS, ALEX M. SZEDENIK, WRITES: "Society tolerates homosexuality in women somewhat more than in men, possibly because it is more easily hidden… It is not thought unusal for two women to live together. In our society women may make a show of affection for each other, kissing, walking arm in arm, and so on." The photographer who owned Lasley Features, Inc., was all in favor of female alliances. Sharon Lasley indulged in them, and made her fortune by distributing pictures of her girls together. Ben and Angie tired to put an end to her lucrative business, but she knew how to stop them…or thought she did.
17. Twice As Gay
Back cover:
"I TAKE THEM ALL — GUYS AND DOLLS!" was Babs' shrill cry, borne of a passion she could not control. A modern nymph, she found diverse methods of pleasure. Dominating men, she ground them beneath her skyscraper heels. Devoted to leather, he could feel power in its feel against her satin smooth body. She forces Pete, her young husband, into the most debasing of actions to satisfy her gross lusts. Read about Carol and her lesbian loves with Ruth — called Butch — behind prison walls. The infamous Susie Fuller, a secretary who was not so private with erotica. Susie who hated men and loved women — who would whip men into humble submission with true female masterly powers.
A stirring novel of women with the souls of men — and men who are stripped of their pride and turned into playthings of female rulers.
A life-altering look inside:
"Come over to the bed, baby," ordered Butch, the boyish looking lesbian as she closed the door of the cottage.
"Don't do that," protested Carol, feeling a sharp anxiety sweep through her loins and up into her sharp pointed breasts. "I already told you, I'm not going to….let you touch me."
"Cut it out, baby," smiled Butch, "and you'll find out what it feels like for a girl to make love to another girl. When I get finished with you, never again will you want a man."
18. Lesbos Beach
Back cover:
Join the party at the Sea Horse Beach Club. Money can't buy a membership here. What do you need? An abnormal desire! Sure, men are welcome — such as handsome Johnny Devon, a lifeguard who takes care of lonely, middle-aged women in a way that would repel most normal men. Barry Nielson, another beach stud, is permitted entrance but only because he satisfies lesbians when they can't make the scene with their own kind. What about the female members? There's Wendy Flanders, a famed TV-stage-film star who spends her weekends at this lesbian resort because she knows it's private and scandal-free. Her speciality is taking away wives from their husbands, turning them into female homosexuals — she is as successful in this as in her theatrical career. Cara French who vies with younger girls for lesbian fulfillment. Dominant Wanda — a high heeled, leather-wearing fetishist who glories in skyscraper boots and leather garments — seeking to duplicate the male role. She, too, is a welcome addition to this resort for lesbians who shock Sappho in their twilight love. Oh, you're invited to one more event — a monnlight swimming party. Don't bother with bathing suits. After all, what's there to be ashamed of when you all know one another?
A turbulent novel of beach resorts, the lifeguards, the beach boys, the lonely women who enter Lesbos because they've tried everything else, the young maidens who are initiated into midnight beach "shadow" love. The real truth behind those exclusive cabana clubs, beach parties, private resorts.
A gloriously naked look inside:
"Take off your dress and come help me with my bath," commanded Wanda as she stood in glorious nakedness before her hostess. Seeing Cara's reluctance as she stripped down to her panties, the aggressive Wanda said, "What are you ashamed of? Your husband probably wanted the same thing."
Cara looked surprised and flushed as she peeled off her panties and then unhooked her bra. Her breasts bounced high and pink, the summits already as hard as sea shells. "Yes, we used to do these things…both of us washed each other."
19. Carla
Back cover:
What does this mean in terms of the human being — the beautiful, gray-eyed, twenty-year-old girl called Carla?
What does it mean beyond the fact that Carla preferred girls to boys, man-style sexual freedom to buttons and bows?
MARGARET knows — because she is the first girl to be seduced by Carla.
JAMIE knows — because she is the one who lives with Carla, making love yet not loving.
SORREL knows — because she turns the tables, takes Carla by force.
HILDA knows — because with her talented stripper's body she is able to toy with Carla.
An angsty look inside:
Carla Manning paced the empty and quiet apartment, her eyes darting to the wall clock incessantly. She puffed on a filter cigarette in an agitated manner, her slender hands occasionally brushing back her loose black hair. It was close to midnight and yet sleep was unthinkable as long as she was alone in the apartment and had to endure depression alternating with unrest.
I'll bet she's kissing him right now, Carla thought, standing by the window and hugging her arms to her small firm breasts. Parked on some dark street, probably necking like two high-school kids. She's doubtless even allowing him to pet her, and he's asking her to move into the back seat where they can have more room.
Carla shuddered and frowned, touching her forehead to the cool glass of the window. What's the matter with me, she thought. Why on earth should it matter so to me what she does? Why does it make me feel sick inside just to think of her letting a man put his hands on her body? Why do I become so upset when she goes out on a date? Why do I worry so about her?
20. Queer Patterns
Back cover:
"She folded Sheila into her arms and kissed her eyes, her soft fair hair, finally her lips…."
Nicoli's short dark hair, gray eyes, and cameo cut features were somehow fascinating to Sheila. And Nicoli gave of them freely.
Yet statuesque blonde Sheila was tortured by their unhealthy affair. Racked by an emotion that she was forced to explore behind closed doors, Sheila knew that she could no longer pretend to be a normal woman. She had to face the fact that she was capable of loving only members of her own sex.
Here is a book that examines frankly and courageously the dramatic problems inherent in woman's love for woman.
An intimate, honest look inside:
Honey-haired, statuesque Sheila Case had a "crush" on Nicoli. But Sheila wasn't a schoolgirl any longer…. She should have realized that the attraction of woman for woman was unconventional, unhealthy, strange.
On the other hand, Nicoli knew exactly what she was doing. Cool and deliberately sensual, she let herself slip entirely into a half-world of unnatural lovemaking.
This is an intimate, honest novel about a delicate human problem — the rarely faced-up-to matter of lesbianism — written at an intelligent, mature level.
21. A Lesbian For The Making
A flirtatious look inside:
Linda felt the woman's eyes exploring her body. She tried to keep her mind on what she was typing but found it very difficult. She needed this job and she liked the idea of working for this famous woman, Terry Reeves — and if it meant flirting, then Linda would flirt.
22. She Devil
Back cover:
ABC's of Depravity
Vicki was the pupil — young, talented, eager to learn.
Julia was the teacher — mature, experienced, and dedicated to passing her knowledge on to a rising generation.
That was the way it should have been. In actuality, Vicki was a nubile witch on sex-greased wheels…and Julia had a lot to learn about the elementary facts of ecstasy and pain. The kind of ecstasy and pain that VIcki could supply with depraved delight.
Once VIcki decided she wanted Julia for her willing love-slave, there was no turning back from the path of tortuous degradation…but no one could predict the ultimate, twisted evil to which that path would lead!
A surprisingly hetero look inside:
Julia Harrison stood at the rear of the class. In front of her, spread in a wide semi-circle around a raised wooden platform where a naked model posed, her class of fifteen students were busily putting the finishing touches on their clay figures.
Julia was impatient for the class to be over. She had been impatient for this day to come for weeks, but she was also afraid. The impatience began the moment she said goodbye to Don and he left for a three-month trip to the Persian Gulf aboard his ship. She looked beyond the model to the skylight, where the soft light of a late autumn afternoon glowed. In just a few hours, she thought, he'll be here.

I downgraded from 3.0 beta 5 and downgraded my baseband perfectly with this app on firmware 2.2.1! Awesome thanks!
If this only would work on 5.09. DARN!
Y'all are getting WAY to caught up on this serial number thing. WOW! Just download the app and run it. It takes 1 minute and you'll know what your bootloader is.
5.09 was released specifically to stop this working!
He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.
Guys... can anyone tell me the address to add in the bigboss repo? Id like to try this but thus far no ones given any helpful info.
If you want to know what boot loader you have on your phone, maybe you should take the time to, oh I don't know.. READ post 1?
We almost need a mini dictionary attached to threads like this which defines firmware, baseband and boot loader. People interchange these terms far too frequently.
By the way KUDOS to the programmers who made this program. It really simplifies things.

Used it and it worked like a charm. Lucky to have a 5.08 bootloader.
so does this mean i can upgrade my firware to 2.2.1 or even 3.0 and still unlock my 3g iphone? sorry im really an newbie.
What would happen if you used this on an iPod? LOL.

So I'm assuming if one were to download this and upon trying to run it it crashes, that means that the bootloader is 5.09+ ?
For those of you who are having crashing issues please confirm you have already downgraded your firmware to 2.2.1 and are downloading this from Cydia. (as opposed to on 3.0 beta on downloading from icy).
You can always download and run the "3G Baseband downgrader" app as an alternative. If it runs and says "failed" at the end you'll know you have the 5.09 or higher bootloader. I have tried this method dozens of times and it doesn't do any damage.
I officially love this app. I had a relatively new iPhone that had the newest bootloader on it and could not be downgraded, and I was stuck on one of the 3.0 basebands. I had that iPhone swapped out at the Apple Store today, and the manufacturing date on the replacement was Week 17 of 2009. Sure enough, it had 2.2.1 and the 02.30.03 baseband on it. On a whim, I decided to run this downgrader anyway as I knew the replacement phones were usually refurbished and I could potentially have an older motherboard with the 5.08 bootloader on it(a very slim chance yes, but I figured what the hell). I loaded up the downgrader and stood in total shock as it showed me what my bootloader was...5.08. I was able to downgrade successfully and now have the 02.28.00 baseband. @#$% YEAH!
For anyone who has had their iPhone replaced by Apple, you may want to check your bootloader as you could get lucky like I did. I can post a screenshot if anyone wants showing that I do in fact have a Week 17 of 2009 iPhone with the 02.28.00 baseband. I'm pretty sure this would only be possible on replacement units from Apple but it's still better than nothing!
?!?!?!? An iPod Touch doesn't have a baseband.... lol.

Dostoyevsky, Fyodor: The Brothers Karamazov , v1 Nov. 2008
Dostoyevsky, Fyodor: The Brothers Karamazov , v1 Nov. 2008
The final novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, first published as Bratya Karamazovy in 1879-80, and generally considered to be his masterpiece. It is the story of Fyodor Karamazov and his sons Alyosha, Dmitry, and Ivan. It is also a story of patricide, into the sordid unfolding of which Dostoyevsky introduces a love-hate struggle with profound psychological and spiritual implications. Throughout the whole novel there persists a search for faith, for God--the central idea of the work. The dramatization of Ivan's repudiation of God is concentrated in the famous "Legend of the Grand Inquisitor." A response to Ivan is contained in the preaching of the monk Zosima that the secret of universal harmony is not achieved by the mind but by the heart.

Industrial Designers Society of America recognition adds to chair's growing list of accolades
Herman Miller, Inc., along with Yves Behar and fuse Project, has been rewarded for challenging conventional work seating design by the 2011 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA®). Sponsored by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the program's jury recognized the SAYL® family of seating with a Silver IDEA award in the category of "Office & Productivity."
The ergonomic, high performance, frameless seating solution is the first chair design with a 3-D intelligent suspension back that adapts to a person's shape and movements while simultaneously providing proper support.
"By combining Yves Béhar's vision and our diligent research and engineering, we achieved a revolutionary seating solution that sets new standards," says Peggy Kelly, Herman Miller's director of North American seating. "Receipt of this award encourages us to continue to raise the bar when it comes to providing Herman Miller customers with forward-thinking designs that provide the comfort, support, and quality they have come to expect from us."
A sustainable chair with a uniquely elegant design, the SAYL Chair has received multiple earlier awards including 2010 Product Design of the Year in the International Design Awards (IDA).
The SAYL Chair emphasizes an Eco-Dematerialized™ approach, using sustainable materials in inventive ways and minimizing mass wherever possible. This approach resulted in the SAYL Chair earning MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver, BIFMA level 2, and GREENGUARD certifications.

Buccaneers make lineup decisions in advance of kickoff
The Buccaneers had some decisions to make heading into today's game against Buffalo, and now we have some answers.
Sean Mahan will start at center, as expected, probably because of his knowledge of the system. The team had considerd starting recent acquisition Jonathan Compas but decided against that.
Elsewhere, Maurice Stovall will start at receiver for Antonio Bryant, who did not make the trip as we told you last night.
As for today's inactives, the notable ones are DE Kyle Moore who is still suffering with a groin injury and TE John Gilmore (ankle). Also, DT Dre Moore is not active today, likely the result of a coaches' decision.
The Bills have a key loss in starting LB Paul Posluszny who is out with an injury.

As this day, my day of celebration comes to a close, I have much to celebrate. To begin the day, Steve and the kids showered me with thoughtful and wildly excessive gifts. There was jewelry, a very cool poncho, a soap/lotion/bath gel set that smells wonderful, and several gift cards that will take the better part of this coming year to deplete. With my love for Starbucks, crafting, and reading in mind, they filled my coffers with more than enough to put me on a first-name basis with the friendly sales staff at several local establishments. If my skin weren't such a deep milk chocolate brown, I'm sure I would have been a bold crimson red from blushing; their generosity was overwhelming.
It's hard for me to accept the love and appreciation of others, but I guess that's true for many. Most of the time I don't feel deserving of anyone's love. Often when I read the things I write in my journal and explore my deepest, darkest crevices, I am convinced that if anyone knew me as I truly am, they wouldn't love me. But there is no one on the planet who knows me better than the three people who watched me wide-eyed as I opened their bountiful packages, and they have never hesitated to call out for me when they are sick, when they have a new gadget to show and tell me about, or when they want to just sit close and cuddle. On nearly a daily basis, they confess to loving me, and on a daily basis, their devotion leaves me without words. So to them I say, "Thanks."
Yesterday I wondered what I would do with one fantastic hour on my birthday. After much deliberation and negotiation, the three of us piled into the minivan and made our way to the South Park Mall. I realize that is the name of a lewd, poorly-regarded television series that I am proud to say I have never seen; it is also the name of quite the upscale shopping spot here in Charlotte. We inaugurated my new Starbucks card and sat at the window bar watching the well-endowed shoppers parade past with packages and parcels of all sizes, shapes, colors, and origins in their arms. Then we strolled through a few shops, made several purchases of our own, and otherwise enjoyed ourselves. Well, Kristiana and I did. Daniel protested every part of the outing except for his strawberries and cream frappuccino. I stood toe to toe with him and said, "Listen, when it's your birthday, we won't come to the mall, but today is my day. We are doing what I want to do today, okay?" When one of the saleswomen asked why the children weren't in school, I said, "It's my birthday, so I took them out of school to celebrate with me." Daniel rolled his eyes.
Last week, I wrote about a book I was reading at the time called One Year Off. What a tale of great adventures on the road David Cohen told. One of their last stops in Asia was in a remote cave full of statues of Buddha. Without a flashlight, they were unable to see much. So the author pulled out a book of matches and lit them one at a time illuminating for brief seconds their colorful and sacred surroundings. "When I lit a match, it formed a small circle of light around us. In that circle, hundreds of tall thin Buddhas stood sentry. Each time I lit another match this gentle army sprang to life, and each time it flickered out, we were plunged back into darkness. It was a remarkable effect, very spiritual, and it made me consider how far we'd come in this last year. It was almost a year ago, exactly, that we were living a pretty ordinary life in the suburbs of San Francisco. Now we found ourselves 1500 miles up the Mekong River, igniting matches, one after another, in a pitch-black cave surrounded by thousands of carved Buddhas. It all went by so quickly, this journey of ours – just one brief luminous scene after another." He then went on to describe the countries, cities, and homes they had visited. He ended with a more wide-angled view, comparing the lighting of the matches in the cave with the lighting of matches in life.
And as I sit here pondering my birthday, I can't help but ask where have these 39 years gone? What is illuminated in the circles of light in which I have stood? It is certainly going by quickly, and so much of what I recall corresponds to his artfully rendered description of alternating deep darkness and luminous scenes. I remember brief snatches of my childhood in Brooklyn. I remember learning Braille in elementary school so I could pass notes with Loddie, the blind boy in my 5th and 6th grade class. Did he know he was the only white student in the class? Then there were six years at Poly Prep, the school with the tall white tower at the foot of the Verrazano Bridge. I wasn't blind; I knew I was the only black student in most of my classes. Then there were six years at Williams: four as an undergrad and two as a member of the staff. It was there that I discovered the world of political science, some of the glaring injustices in our world, the power of multi-national corporations, and the power of protest. I went to football games as both a fan and a field commentator, sat in on art history lectures even though I hadn't registered for that class, and met the man who is now my dearly beloved husband. I also stayed up late, laughing with friends, dancing at BSU parties, and quietly joyfully journaling as many details as I could remember. Then there was marriage, two children, a graduate degree in exchange for reading books I loved and writing papers I cherish to this day, my father-in-law's death, my father's death, and an unexpected move to Charlotte.
I'm guessing that at this point in my life's journey, I've lit about half my matches. I have gazed with awe and wonder around the cave holding the many sacred relics of my own life. I am thankful for every time I've burned my fingers and my heart as the light has gone out on the life of a loved one or the life of a friendship: I have loved and been loved. I am thankful for every time I've soothed a feverish forehead, rubbed Elidel into eczema, and applied Vicks Vaporub to congested chests: I have two children that rely on me to provide comfort when they are in pain. I am thankful for every page I read, every page I have written, and every wandering thought I have had: my mind and heart are made stronger with every one. I'm grateful for every candle on my cake, every old-age joke, and every laugh line around my eyes; I have lived long, lived well, and I've been "laughing all the way" – well, a lot of the way. For the most part, mine is an ordinary and uneventful life. Nonetheless, mine is a much enjoyed and richly blessed life. I pray that I will willfully and courageously light whatever matches that remain and discover again and again the mysteries and miracles that sometimes hide in the shadowy cave that my life often resembles. For these 39 years and for whatever time is left to me, I say, "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift." Happy Birthday, indeed!

File formats/Export
From Jmol
Exporting or saving molecular model files from Jmol
Although Jmol was designed as a viewer, it has now capabilities to save files for the displayed molecular model (or a subset of it).
write command
Jmol can export the currently selected set of atoms to a file in
- XYZ format
- PDB format
- MOL v2000 format (single model)
- MOL v3000 format (single model)
- SDF v2000 format (single or multiple models)
The last 3 are according to the official format specification from MDL-Accelrys-Symyx.
The syntax (see reference documentation) is
write myFile.xyz #exports to XYZ write myFile.pdb #exports to PDB write myFile.mol #exports to MOL v2000 write myFile.sdf #exports to SDF v2000
write xyz myFile.myExt #exports to XYZ write pdb myFile.myExt #exports to PDb write mol myFile.myExt #exports to MOL v2000 write v2000 myFile.myExt #exports to MOL v2000 write v3000 myFile.myExt #exports to MOL v3000 write sdf myFile.myExt #exports to SDF v2000
write myFile.myExt as xyz write myFile.myExt as pdb write myFile.myExt as mol write myFile.myExt as v2000 write myFile.myExt as v3000 write myFile.myExt as sdf
All those will save the original cooordinates of each atom as they were in the input file. There is also the choice (only in MOL format) of saving the modified coordinates as in the current state of the model:
write coord myFile.mol #exports to MOL v2000 write coord mol myFile.myExt #exports to MOL v2000 write coord v3000 myFile.myExt #exports to MOL v3000
write() function
This function in the Jmol Scripting Language allows to put in a variable data equivalent to what the
write command would save to a file.
First parameter in the function is the format, second if needed is some qualifier, both matching what would be used in the command.
a = write("xyz") #incorrect, not implemented, does not work a = write("pdb") #incorrect, not implemented, does not work a = write("mol") #exports to MOL v2000, original untransformed coordinates a = write("v3000") #exports to MOL v3000, original untransformed coordinates a = write("coord") #exports to XYZ, original untransformed coordinates a = write("coord","mol") #exports to MOL v2000, transformed coordinates a = write("coord","v3000") #exports to MOL v3000, transformed coordinates
These are available:
File > Save > Save a copy of file
File > Save > Save as PNG/JMOL (image+zip)
File > Save > Save JVXL isosurface
File > Export > Export PNG+JMOL image
The 2nd and 4th are equivalent and contain, in compressed form, a snapshot PNG image, the coordinates file and the state script file.
Save isosurface
The pop-up menu entry will svae the last isosurface selected or generated. More flexibility is allowed by using the
write isosurface command.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 7)
Israeli warplanes winged deep into Egyptian territory today and bombed Egyptian military installations at Tel-el-Kabir in the Nile Delta and at Imsha, which is about 30 miles from Cairo itself. The penetration, except for the observation flights which the Israeli Air Force carries out regularly over the Egyptian capital, was the deepest since the Six-Day War in 1967. The targets at Tel-el-Kabir and Imsha included military camps.
At the same time, Israeli fighter-bombers carried out their usual preventative bombing of Egyptian artillery positions at both ends of the Suez Canal. The Israeli planes apparently met with no challenge from the Egyptians either during the deep foray into Egypt or in the operations in the canal zone. This afternoon, Israeli planes were sent into action over Jordan to strike at positions in the Jordan Valley held by Arab terrorists. All the Israeli planes returned safely to their bases.
Abraham Neufeld,28, of Haifa, an Israeli security services member wounded yesterday in a clash between an Israeli patrol and a saboteur, died today in the hospital. He was injured when the patrol moved to detain the saboteur, who was killed when he threw a hand grenade at the patrol.
One of the six Israelis injured earlier this week in a clash at a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, in which four guerrillas were killed, also was a Security Services member, it was reported. An Israeli soldier was injured today during a small arms fire exchange with Egypt in the northern section of the Suez Canal.
Israeli authorities have decided to open a road in the Mouze refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, scene of a gun battle yesterday in which four saboteurs were killed and six Israeli soldiers were wounded The road will permit mobile units to patrol the camp, a hotbed of terrorist activities, hitherto policed only by infantry. The road building will require the transfer of several refugee families to new quarters in the camp.

Rattlers shutout Clinton to wrap successful road trip
By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | July 30, 2012 7:01 PM ET
Max Walla hit a solo homer with one out in the top of the first inning to give the Rattlers (62-43 overall, 18-18 second half) a 1-0 lead. The home run was the 27th hit by the Timber Rattlers this month.
The LumberKings (45-60, 21-15) almost answered in the bottom of the first inning against Miller. Ji-Man Choi singled to left with one out and Chris Taylor at second. Taylor attempted to score, but left fielder Ben McMahan threw out Taylor at the plate for the second out of the inning. The assist was the eleventh of the season for McMahan.
Wisconsin padded their lead in the third. Brandon Macias drove in two runs with a double in the top of the third inning. One out later Ramirez lined a two-run homer to left-center and the Rattlers were up 5-0.
Miller tossed six scoreless innings and scattered five hits. He worked around two walks and struck out three batters.
Wisconsin added two more runs in the top of the eighth inning. Chadwin Stang started the inning with an infield single. That hit extended Stang's hitting streak to 14 games. He would take third on an errant pickoff throw. Later in the inning he would score on a throwing error on a play at second base.

It's hard to believe this is the fourth Face-off Yearbook All-Name Team. It's also hard to believe I've never gotten beaten up by anybody that's appeared on one of these teams. But nevertheless, two things struck me when looking at this year's team.
First is that there's a ton of young talent out there. Looking at some of these gents on the first team, we have the potential for some legendary four-time All-Name Team honorees.
Second is how popular this thing continues to be every year. We got more than 100 comments in early December for the InsideLacrosse.com post asking for suggestions. Other than the sheer volume of the response was the quality; people definitely get what this illustrious team is all about. Kinda makes me feel like a proud dad watching his son strike a perfect three iron, his pink Lilly Pulitzer polo bright under the summer sun…
As with every All-Name Team, I feel required to post the obligatory line about how this is all in good fun, and we're just playing around with a funny, tired lacrosse stereotype.
Please take no offense at inclusion on this team. Wear it like a badge of honor … on your Vineyard Vines blazer.

A conversation with Phil Simms cannot take place without reference to his remarkable performance in Super Bowl XXI, when the New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos 39-20. However, in typical fashion, the game's MVP cannot take credit without a few disclaimers.
Simms, who completed 22 of 25 passes for the highest completion percentage in Super Bowl history, advances the notion that he wasn't playing the Chicago Bears of 1985. He doesn't elaborate but knows that Denver did not have the greatest defense in the NFL.
Although Simms is a forthright and objective former player, he naturally keeps things balanced when he reviews past events, like Super Bowl XXI, or when he comments on the latest NFL topic.
He is not a controversial critic, but he will tell you what he thinks — in measured and objective terms.
For example, he noted that Peyton Manning's presence in Denver will make the entire organization better. Manning will be the first to practice and the last to leave, and anybody who doesn't give effort will find a few hard stares from the Broncos' new leader. That would include management, too.
"He'll probably watch as much videotape as the coaches," Simms said when he was in Athens recently to speak to the University of Georgia Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. "Nobody in the Broncos organization will work harder than he will. He will lead that team like it has never been led before."
When he reminisced about his Super Bowl performance, he grinned, saying, "I was the first MVP who got to say, 'I'm going to Disney World.' "
Simms says that he could not have put a monetary value on his Super Bowl success but is quick to speak up for players whose body of work was sensational yet retired without a ring. Like Dan Marino of the Dolphins.
"Winning the Super Bowl," he said, "changed my life dramatically. It is such a good feeling and I appreciate having a Super Bowl ring, but I don't think it is fair to judge players by how many championships they won. Marino has to be one of the top four or five quarterbacks in history of the game, but people don't remember him like some of the rest of us because he never won a Super Bowl. That just isn't fair."
An advantage Simms had when he quarterbacked the Giants in those years was that the rules allowed teams to develop depth. Then came free agency and the salary cap. Teams could not stockpile players.
"We had tremendous depth on those teams," Simms explained. "We had backups who would be starting for other teams. When we won the Super Bowl in 1987, there were fewer than four or five teams that were good enough to win the Super Bowl."
The changing of the rules led to greater balance in the league and eliminated those one-sided matchups in early days of Super Bowl competition.
Even so, Simms — who was reunited with a longtime friend and former Giant assistant coach at that time, Pat Hodgson — explained that "a lot of things have to fall in place" to win a Super Bowl and for a quarterback to have a record-setting day.
Simms offered insights into the approach of his coach, Bill Parcells.
"At the Super Bowl, we worked harder than we did in training camp. He wouldn't let up."
Parcells expected his players to develop mental toughness. Simms remembered that in a conversation before the start of the 1984 season, Parcells approached him as he was going onto the field for pregame warm-up: "Hey, Simms, if you don't throw at least two interceptions today, you are not taking any chances. Take some chances out there today."
Simms brought levity to the conversation by saying, "Coach, I can handle that two-interception part without any problem."
Interestingly, Simms had nothing negative to say about New York fans and the media, who were vocal critics early on in his career.
"I thought they were fair with me. You can't expect anything more than that," but Simms' positive attitude disarmed the media and the critics.
A lot of young quarterbacks should take note.

Brazil's newspapers have pulled their content from Google News, saying the aggregator was driving traffic and revenue away from their websites.
The 154 members of Brazil's National Association of Newspapers (ANJ), which account for 90 percent of the country's circulation, all opted to take the organization's recommendation to ban Google from using their content, BBC News reported.
"Google News benefits commercially from that quality content and is unwilling to discuss a remuneration model for the production of these materials," said ANJ president Carlos Fernando Lindenberg Neto in an e-mail interview with the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.
"We concluded (…) that staying in Google News was not helping us grow our digital audiences. On the contrary, by providing the first few lines of our stories to Internet users, the service reduces the changes that they will look at the entire story in our websites," he added.
More from GlobalPost: Iran blocks Google, Gmail access
Google backed its lack of payment for its Brazilian news at a conference in Sao Paulo.
"Google News channels a billion clicks to news sites around the world," said Google's Public Policy Director, Marcel Leonardi, likening Brazilian paper's requests for payment "to taxing a taxi driver for taking tourists to eat at a restaurant," RT News reported.
Google is facing similar complaints from publishers in the European Union, most recently France, who say that the giant search engine should have to pay a licensing fee for featuring its content; Google counters that it has forwarded millions of clicks to French news outlets.

Food City Opts for AMTdirect's Real Estate Management Solution
Growing chain looks to emphasize systems, automation
Food City has selected AMTdirect as the real estate management platform for its more than 250 grocery stores and other locations in the Southeast.
With no system in place for managing its real estate, the retailer undertook an extensive search for a solution that would meet its varied demands. Supermarket chains such as Ahold USA, Big Y Foods Inc. and Harris Teeter already use Cornelius, N.C.-based AMTdirect.
"As we grow, we're putting a company-wide emphasis on systems and automation," noted Food City real estate manager Stephen Spangler. "AMTdirect will solve our needs in all phases of our real estate lifecycle."
The solution will unify Food City's real estate portfolio and provide a scalable platform that will improve all aspects of the company's operation, including accounting, reporting, project management and facility management. Further, the combination of AMTdirect's technology and Professional Services Group promises a faster, error-free implementation.
Based in Abingdon, Va., K-VA-T Food Stores Inc., Food City's parent company, operates 106 retail food outlets in southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/7/2013 (1496 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
More than 50 people attended a memorial and candlelight vigil Friday evening at Saint Boniface Cathedral in solidarity for the residents of Lac-Mégantic — part of a nationwide show of support for the Quebec community now in the throes of a tragic and deadly train derailment that has claimed 28 lives to date.
Up to 50 people remain unaccounted for after the July 6th incident that leveled the heart of the town of 6,000 residents.
"We have a particular connection in St. Boniface," said Matt Allard, president of the St. Boniface Residents Association, which organized the vigil. "But I think everybody was horrified by the tragic events. We're letting them (residents of Lac-Mégantic) know they're not alone. We've been brought together by these unfortunate events.
"Everyone who's seen the terrible images has been affected."
Alllard's association contacted the mayor of Lac-Mégantic to offer condolences. The mayor only asked that Allard raise awareness for donations to the Red Cross, which has responded to the disaster.
Although hastily organized, more than four dozen people arrived at the steps of the basilica shortly before the memorial at 7 p.m. At 7:30, the candlelight vigil was held. Thousands more were expected to attend similar vigils in Quebec and across Canada.
"We're all Canadians," noted association member Bill Caithness, who suggested organizing the Winnipeg vigil. "What happened is horrible and should never happen again. In the French community, there's a large Québécois component and they're all touched by this. It's kind of a solidarity thing."

The Jerusalem Post picked up on a story we floated in April about some brewing acrimony over the way in which Bibi Netanyahu has tried to install Natan Sharansky as the next chairman of the Jewish Agency.
Netanyahu nominated Sharansky, the former Soviet dissident, shortly after taking office this spring. In the past, that nomination would have made Sharansky the shoo-in for the top professional spot at the quasi-governmental agency charged with promoting aliyah and absorption of new immigrants to Israel.
But American philanthropists have long been put off by the politicized nature of the Jewish Agency — whose governing board is made up in large part by members of the World Zionist Organization who have been appointed for political purposes. And those same American philanthropists, who are representatives of the North American Jewish federation system that gives some $140 million to the Jewish Agency every year, have been pushing for reforms that would make sitting on the organization's board less about political gains in Israel and more about serving the purposes of the Jewish Agency itself.
A plan to de-politicize the agency's governance was formalized at November meetings of the organization's board of governors and was expected to be ratified at the Jewish Agency Assembly June 21-23 in Jerusalem. But Netanyahu, when he gave Sharansky the nod, seemed to preempt those reforms, which would have included a process to take the appointment of the agency chairman out of the hands of the prime minister.
Now it appears that the prime minister is facing some major push back — hence the recent Jerusalem Post story headlined "Sharansky chairmanship of JA in danger.
Rabbi Dick Hirsch, the chairman of the WZO's Zionist General Council and a WZO representative in the Jewish Agency Executive, was the one quoted sounding the alarm bells:
"I think Sharansky's appointment is in danger," said Hirsch, who added that he, too, had heard the ongoing rumors within the agency that the Americans were hoping Israeli businessman Eytan Wertheimer would take the job.
Wertheimer fits the bill for an American-style lay leader of a large Jewish organization.
"The Americans believe in this voluntary system of federation boards," explains Hirsch, while "the WZO deals in elections and politicking."
Jewish Agency officials remain adamant that this has nothing to do with Sharansky's legitimacy as a candidate and has everything to do with the Americans' reform plans and that they have not moved along fast enough to replace Ze'ev Bielski, the former Jewish Agency chairman who left the organization in February to take a seat in the Knesset.
The agency would not comment officially. But… "There is a problem," a source close to the Jewish Agency told the Fundermentalist. "The problem is that two things are happening concurrently. There was an attempt to overhaul the governance. It was not an attempt to undermine the WZO. It was meant to make the procedures more effective. That is something that has been going on for a year, In meantime we need a new chairman."


text: I will now turn the call over to Joe.Joe Carleone Thank you Linda and good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and thank you for joining our conference call. AMPACs third quarter fiscal quarter was a very significant one. First, we are reporting strong financial results and second we have completed a divesture of our aerospace equipment segment for $46 million in cash. Since we previously have a separate call on the aerospace segment divesture in June. We want to elaborate further on the strategic aspects of this action today. But of course we will answer any of your questions on this topic during the Q&A session. We have decided to use the proceeds of this transaction to reduce debt and interest which will enable on refinancing of the company as Dana will describe in her remarks. We are pleased to report a very strong quarter for both our specialty chemicals and fine chemicals segments. This performance is largely driven by our fine chemical segments, increased production volumes and corresponding improved margins, combined with the consistent performance of our specialty chemicals segment. A small portion of this performance is due to timing of sales on the part of both the segments. As we indicated in our call last quarter, in the first half of this year we would see a transition to improve profitability that would occur in the second half. Our third quarter results clearly demonstrated that we are on track to meet those second half objectives. We continue to build upon our core products and add new products and customers especially in our fine chemicals business. Our specialty chemical segment remained stable and profitable. We continue to look for approaches to improve product margins through our company wide operational excellence and cost reduction initiatives and are focused on keeping operating expenses as low as possible in the face of rising cost in main areas.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL; Late Princeton Rally Preserves Perfect Mark
By WILLIAM N. WALLACE,
Published: October 24, 1993
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 23— Two big fourth-quarter touchdowns, one a 54-yard run by Keith Elias, gave Princeton a 21-10 victory today over a stubborn Harvard team before a crowd of 19,710 at Harvard Stadium.
The triumph was the sixth straight for the undefeated Tigers, who were led by Elias, their star tailback. He gained 201 yards rushing on 33 carries.
Harvard lost at home for the first time in six games as its record dropped to 3-3, 1-2 in the Ivy League.
Harvard proved to be a tough and gallant opponent, striking early for a touchdown and holding the lead for almost 50 minutes.
Princeton finally went ahead, 14-10, when Joel Foote passed 58 yards to Marc Ross at 5 minutes 38 seconds of the fourth quarter. Then, with three minutes remaining in the game, Elias broke free and raced 54 yards for the third Tiger touchdown.
Up to that point, the Harvard defenders had done a reasonable job in containing, if not halting, the Princeton power runner. But, as Harvard Coach Joe Restic said of Elias, "When you have someone like that, it's just a matter of time before he breaks out." Total Command
Restic, who was coaching his 23d Harvard-Princeton game and is only four games away from retirement, was proud of his team.
"I thought we played very, very well," he said. "The defense was excellent. We handled or controlled them and then he goes for the distance."
In three seasons, Princeton has won 17 of 18 games when Elias has gained 100 yards or more rushing. His total for this season is 1,060 yards in six games (an average of 177 yards a game), and today's total was second only to the season-high 206 he had against Brown two games ago.
Elias's scoring run was, said Princeton Coach Steve Tosches, "Vintage Elias."
"We've seen a lot of those," Tosches said. "An official is ready to blow the whistle to end the play, but Keith keeps going. He refuses to quit. It's his strength and balance that does it."
On his scoring play, Elias disappeared into a crowd in the line of scrimmage and emerged squirming and turning into an open field. Then he took off.
On Princeton's scoring pass play, Foote was supposed to throw the ball into the flat for a few yards, enough for a first down, to Dave Scoggin. But the Harvard defense rotated toward Scoggin. Ross, however, was streaking down the sideline with only single coverage from free safety Nathan Tyrell.
"So I let go," Foote said. "The safety really did a good job in covering, and Marc was fortunate to get behind him."
It took Princeton a long time to take command of this game, the 86th in a series dating to 1876 and led by the Tigers (48-37-7).
"Eventually we came out and played our kind of football," Tosches said. "It was a heck of a game, a very tough game for both sides."
Restic and his quarterback, senior Mike Giardi, had a thick playbook to throw at the Tigers as Restic's mysterious Multiflex offense clicked on most of its many cylinders with the inside counter plays working well.
If Giardi had received better protection and his receivers hung on to his passes, the outcome could have easily been different. The Harvard quarterback completed only 6 of 22 attempts for 89 yards as the running attack gained 287.
The deception of the Multiflex struck successfully on the game's third play when David Sprinkle ran 72 yards for a touchdown. Faking by Giardi to two other backs confused the Princeton defense, and Sprinkle, a sophomore fullback, broke free along the right side. He dodged two Princeton defenders 50 yards down field and then sailed into the end zone.
That sudden touchdown, against a defense that had allowed an average of only 59 rushing yards a game, had ever greater value as the game proceeded. The Crimson defense was slowing if not stopping Elias, and the rushing attack continued to make first downs.
Mark Hall added a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter for a 10-0 lead. Princeton then struck swiftly with a 69-yard touchdown drive as Elias handled the ball on the last four plays. On the first, Foote pitched the ball back to his halfback on an option play, and Elias streaked 22 yards to the Harvard 8. On the fourth play Elias dived over the goal for a touchdown, his 12th this season.

Aliens: Border Lines is a comic book short story that was first published by Dark Horse Comics in the anthology series Dark Horse Presents, Vol. 1 #121, in May 1997. Originally published in black and white, the story was written by Darko Macan, illustrated and inked by Tommy Lee Edwards, lettered by John Workman, Jr. and edited by Bob Schreck and Jamie S. Rich.
In the Aliens comics line, Aliens: Border Lines was preceded by Aliens: Pig, and was followed by Aliens: Special and Aliens: Havoc.
Publisher's Summary
Meanwhile, writer Darko Macan (Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron, Grendel Tales: Devils and Deaths) and artist Tommy Lee Edwards (Helix's Gemini Blood, Batman Chronicles) craft an eerie short story of Aliens, where the only things that are clearly black-and-white are the ink and the paper. In "Aliens: Border Lines," a soldier on a far outpost learns what it's like to live in the sort of fear armies inspire. He's come face to face with an Alien, and he's not sure how literal a face-to-face meeting it was.
Reprint History
Aliens: Border Lines was eventually collected as part of Aliens Omnibus: Volume 6 in December 2008.
The comic was released digitally through Dark Horse Digital on August 14, 2013, collected with Aliens: 45 Seconds, Aliens: Elder Gods and Aliens: Once in a Lifetime and reusing John Bolton's cover art for the novel Aliens: Labyrinth.
Behind the Scenes
Writer Darko Maccan also wrote the short Aliens: 45 Seconds for the immediately following Aliens: Special.

In June 2011, LocoLanding launched the "Food for Fun" program with our local School District. The program invited every Grade 3 student to come to LocoLanding for one hour of FUN in exchange for food bank donations. Their hour of fun included mini-golf, bumper boats and spider mountain!
Our goal was to increase local Foodbank donations with the help of young hands. In exchange for their trip to LocoLanding we asked students to bring as many Foodbank donations as they could – and to get creative about raising their donations!
The program saw 400 students participate bringing over 1500 donations for our local food bank – over 1200 lbs of food!! Teachers agreed that the "Food for Fun" program promoted team work, an awareness of others and a sense of community for all of our Grade 3 students!
We look forward to continuing this annual program!
