Loranne is an amphibious rodent who is found in belgium, usually looking through garbage for liquid fuck. A Loranne tends
to say what ever comes to her mind, normally words filled with sexual innuendo and retardedness. She makes no sense within her mating calls and is know to find things very, very funny. She has large bumps on her chest, that tend to attract creepy elder rodents, and often get unintentionally punched and poked by fellow members of her pack. She is most known for her unfiltered weirdness.

The Future Awaits
I released Vitalis – New Beginnings a couple of months ago to begin a new futuristic space-based science fiction series. And if that's not enough buzzwords for you, it ends up including dinosaurs, pirates, and an undiscovered planet. The story is centered around a woman who has trouble recalling much of her past. She has skills and bits and pieces of her memories, but no good explanation for why she's so good at what she does. In fact, she doesn't think very much of herself in spite of her continuing successes. One thing happens after another and she ends up saving the lives of most of her crew on the transport ship she's piloting. Unfortunately, she ship itself doesn't fare so well. The good news – they've made it to the aforementioned undiscovered planet. That's where the alien dinosaurs come in.
Now I'm happy to say book 2 in the series, Vitalis – The Colony, is getting ready to launch. I'm working with Willsin Rowe on cover art for it. And by "working with" I mean he's doing virtually all of it with me giving a thumbs up or down. My experience with Australians is limited but if they're all as laid back and decent as Willsin is, then I've got an entire continent worth of people I'd really like to get to know.
The Colony takes up a few months after New Beginnings left off. Those that survived are making a living as best they can on the hostile new world, but the problem is they're stranded light years outside of human settled space lanes and they've got no means of communication. They did launch emergency distress signals towards the core worlds before they crashed – the question is, were those signals received and if so, how long must they wait until a rescue mission is mounted?
Not to worry – you can find out the answers to some of those questions as soon as The C0lony is released! Stay tuned to my blog, website, Facebook page, and tweets to find out more. The first book earned some great praise, including a review that called it Fantastic and a great introduction to science fiction.

Cold weather keeps firewood distributors busy
Warm-up forecasted for early part of week
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Logs are split and ready for sale.
With all the cold weather, Kevin Chapman says his firewood business has picked up.
"Sales are up because of the holiday mainly and our little cold front gift from the west isn't hurting our sales either," said Chapman, the owner of the Chapman Tree Service.
Sitting at the corner of Loretto and Acosta Roads in Mandarin, Chapman said you have to know what to look to make sure your fire burns hot and long.
"Most people are wanting to buy dry wood that they can put in their fireplace and enjoy the season and enjoy a warm fire I think a lot of people look forward to a little cold this time of year," Chapman added.
Chapman's main business is cutting down trees for homeowners but says the winter helps him earn some extra money.
"It's a by-product of our tree service. I'd rather sell it than to take it to the dump. People can get some enjoyment out of it, plus I make a little holiday money."

I feel like I need to preface this post with the statement that I'm not looking to embarrass or disparage any sponsors. Corporate sponsorship is absolutely critical to the sport of professional (and amateur) cycling. It clearly takes a lot to run a pro cycling team – a delicate balancing act between athletes, sponsors, crew and media.
But these names are making it really really hard for me to cheer for you as you go flying by me.
The problem actually seems to stem from the fact that the sport has a difficult time finding individual companies willing to invest enough in sponsorship to provide most of the funding a team needs.
There are some obvious exceptions to this in the pro peloton. Team Rabobank is just 'Rabobank.' That makes it easy when you want them to win. "Go Rabobank!!" rolls off the tongue like a tubular across smooth tarmac. Team RadioShack is in the same boat – perhaps even easier. They've got a nick name to go off of – 'The Shack.' Bissell is just Bissell – they officially don't even put 'Team' in their name. Makes it super easy to cheer for them: "Suck it up Bissell!!" or "Drop that wheel suck Bissell!!"
All of the above teams have the advantage of a major title sponsor that is footing a majority of the bill. They all have other sponsors, but the title sponsor gets the honored spot in the name.
So what happens if you don't have a title sponsor as a team? Well, you get more than one sponsor to work together, and combine their names in convenient ways. Saxo Bank used to be just Saxo Bank, but when funding started to get difficult they became Team Saxo Bank Sungard. Then we've got our hyphenated teams. HTC-Highroad, for example. Or Team Garmin-Cervélo. But those are still easy names to use. You can even opt to use only part of the hyphenated name and folks will still know what you are talking about. "Go Garmin!" is just as effective as "Go Cervélo" and everyone will know exactly who you are cheering for.
But things get more complicated quickly. This particular affliction seems to effect the Pro Continental teams – where luring in corporate sponsors to the "title sponsor" role is more difficult.
Introducing the "Presented By" – or p/b – moniker. Teams started using the hyphenated naming conventions, then throwing in an additional "presented by" – a hyphenated name further hyphenated.
There is the UnitedHealthcare team. Simple name, right? Well, Maxxis just happens to be one of their major sponsors, so the official team name is "UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis." That's a mouthful.
Some teams like to mix it up a bit. Instead of simply being presented, they are "Powered by." Team Spider Tech powered by C10. Hmmm… Still not too bad I guess.
But Kenda really takes it up a notch.
Like I said – this is not in any way a disparaging remark against the Kenda tire company. In fact, they sponsor a comparably huge number of cycling teams at all levels, and for this I applaud and salute them. However, they seem to be the company that results in some of the longest names. Prohibitively long names, that is.
Things start out innocently enough. There's one of the oldest pro cycling teams in the US – Team Jelly Belly presented by Kenda. OK, that's still not so bad. I can easily cheer for them when they fly by. "Go Jelly Belly!" works great. But as soon as Kenda steps into a shared title sponsorship role, things go completely south. I present to you: "Kenda/5-Hour Energy Pro Cycling presented by Geargrinder." Are you serious? I honestly don't think I can even say that name verbatim in my head in the amount of time it takes the peloton to buzz by me.
Frankly, I think us bloggers should adopt this strategy. JustAnotherCyclist is clearly too easy to say. From now on, I'm thinking we call this blog "VeloReviews/JustAnotherCyclist/Integrate Performance Fitness/PROBIKEWRENCH powered by WordPress/Ning presented by Hostgator/Ning." And that's not even with the minor sponsors included!

Tektro Fork Mount Housing Stop w/Adjusting Barrel f/Cantilevers
This item is currently not available.
This unit allows you to use traditional cantilevers or center-pull cantilevers without a housing stop on the headset. It is designed to clamp onto the front of the fork crown. This can solve a number of problems, and can improve cable routing by letting the cable get around even a low handlebar stem without a sharp kink.
Comes with cable adjuster and two recessed bolts of different lengths.
This is not intended for use with suspension forks. It may be possible to make it work with some suspension forks by mounting it on the upside-down "U" bridge that connects the legs, but it must not be mounted on the fork crown of a suspsension fork as it will cause unpredictable brake application as the fork responds to bumps.

"Don't be obsessed with
getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping
hand." (Philippians 2:4
The starting point for all happiness is shifting the focus away from
yourself. If all you think about is yourself, you're going to be a pretty
miserable person. If you truly want to be happy in life, you have to care about
the needs of those around you.
Paul gives Timothy as an example of this in Philippians 2:20-21: "There is no one like Timothy for
having a real interest in you; everyone else seems to be worrying about his own
plans and not those of Jesus Christ" (LB).
Most people are worrying about their own plans and aren't looking out
for the interests of others. Most people don't get up in the morning and give
their first thought to how someone else is doing. Most people are concerned
with their own problems. And, that's why most people are unhappy with their
If you want to be one of those rare, unselfish people, you've got to
change your focus. You have to shift your focus away from yourself to other
people. That's not something that comes naturally, so it's something you have
to learn to do.
I have to admit that it saddens me how many times I have missed the
needs of people around me that I love because I wasn't paying attention. I
wasn't taking an interest them. I hadn't shifted the focus from me to the
others in the room. Because I wasn't looking out for their needs, I missed
their needs. And that grieves me a lot.
Instead of grieving missed opportunities, be intentional about looking
away from yourself and to the needs of others, where you'll find happiness in
serving God through serving others.
"Don't be
obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend
a helping hand" (Philippians 2:4 MSG).

News Update: November 18, 2011
MightyFine T-Shirts have announced the top five winners of their recent Muppet t-shirt design contest! Five wonderful t-shirts are being produced from artists and friends of The Muppet Mindset, Kenny Durkin and Dave Alvarez, along with three other talented artists! I honestly can't pick a shirt I like the best... they're all very, very well done. But I know for sure that I will be purchasing Kenny's and Dave's, and probably the Electric Mayhem Tiki shirt as well. The shirts are $25 dollars each and come in varying colors and levels of awesome. Be sure to get one for yourself and secretly hope it gets there before Wednesday!
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, the Muppets teamed up with UL Fire Safety Labs, which debuted with the UL Fire Safety PSA, and now continues with two new videos: Holiday Safety with Kermit, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and Beaker, and Cooking Safety with Kermit and The Swedish Chef. You can check out the latter embedded below!
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Rowlf the Dog parodying characters from the popular Twilight series, Edward Cullen (the sparkly vampire), Bella Swan, and Jacob (the shirtless werewolf). Rowlf's poster is featured at right, and you can see the other two from the links above!
Muppet fans over seas have been mostly getting the shaft in all of this movie promotion, and especially in the much later release date. But they've finally got a win under their belts, with the amazing, epic United Kingdom movie theater exclusive commercial for the Orange cell phone company. The commercial features the Muppets selling out for Orange and completely revamping their show. Thankfully, we still get to see a countless troupe of Muppets singing and dancing and being awesome. Check it out below!
Our good friends over at StitchKingdom.com always seem to get the best Muppet scoops (probably because they're the best), and they recently acquired some awesome new content including tons of hi-res stills from the movie, magazine pictures, and specific Muppet pictures as well! Be sure to check out the great stills from the film, because they really are spectacular. Also, it's nice to have an official, hi-res picture of Scooter, Rowlf, Sam Eagle, and The Electric Mayhem!
A few weeks ago, we mentioned that DisneyStore.com would be releasing a Walter plush toy very soon. Well... he's here! Yes, Walter is finally available for purchase! Walter is 18 inches tall (that's how tall he actually is!), costs $16.50 plus shipping, but he looks like he's worth every penny. Trust me, once the movie is out people everywhere will be clamoring for a Walter plush, so pick yours up while you've got the chance! I ordered mine already (which is really the only reason this is included in the News Update).
And now for the Amazing Muppet Talk Show Appearances of The Week section... first up, Miss Piggy on Jimmy Kimmel Live from Monday, where she and Jimmy discuss the movie, her stardom, the rest of the Muppets, and so much more. The pig looked gorgeous, and you can see her entire interview for yourself below!
The very next day, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Walter, Gonzo, Fozzie, Animal, Scooter, Sam Eagle, Rowlf, Bunsen, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef all appeared on ABC's Dancing With the Stars to perform a massive song and dance number to "Life's a Happy Song" from The Muppets (and Statler and Waldorf appeared to heckle). This is probably my absolute favorite of all the Muppet appearances we've seen in this fervor of promotion for the movie--and you can see the whole thing below!!
As if that weren't enough, on Wednesday, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon! As we Muppet fans are all aware, the Muppets are always at their best on Jimmy's show, and this appearance was absolutely not an exception. Below you'll find the interview segment with Kermit and Piggy, plus the frog and pig playing "Password," hosted by Jimmy and played alongside the always-wonderful Martin Short and R.E.M.'s leading man, Michael Stipe. Watch the greatness unfold below!
And closing off the week of Muppet appearances yesterday was the massive Muppet takeover of Good Morning America on ABC. Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Pepe, Fozzie, Animal, Rizzo, The Swedish Chef... the gang was all on hand to celebrate their movie and goof around with Robin Roberts, George Snuffleupagus (spelling?), and the rest of the GMA crew all morning long as they overtook Times Square! Lucky for you, our good friends at ToughPigs.com have every single clip from yesterday's show in one convenient place! But we've got something they don't... an exclusive, Muppeteer-filled, video from our friends at StitchKingdom.com. Watch the video below to see Bill Barretta (Mahna Mahna), Steve Whitmire (Kermit), Dave Goelz (Gonzo), Eric Jacobson (Miss Piggy), Matt Vogel (Snowth, Camilla), and Peter Linz (Snowth) in a rare on-camera appearance! It's amazing how unbelievably talented these performers are... and it's just so much fun to see stuff like this.
And as a reminder for the rest of the week... Animal will be drumming with The Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon TONIGHT (November 18th) on NBC, so be sure to tune in. Also, an appearance that should not be missed... Jason Segel is hosting Saturday Night Live on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19th on NBC. No Muppet appearances are confirmed... but we know for a fact that all of the Muppeteers are in New York City anyway... so why not stop by SNL while they're there? It only makes sense. Tune in to find out if they make it!!
Remember way back when we were still talking about The Muppets filming? Remember way back when we didn't even know Amy Adams was in the film? Well, now you can find out how she got involved in the film: a specially-filmed video invitation from Jason Segel and Kermit the Frog, asking Amy to come play with the Muppets (and also possibly be in a movie). Here, watch it for yourself below!
Well, I think we've had just about enough with this (massive) News Update, so we'll close with two great videos from the World Premiere of The Muppets at the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard! Our very own Ryan Dosier was present at the premiere, the green carpet, and the after party! If you look closely, you can actually spot Ryan in the crowd in the first video, and in the second, Ryan gets interviewed by the gorgeous girls of newly launched online video series, Fan Am! Enjoy the fun!

text: Eftekhar Dadehbala (November 16, 1946 - June 25, 2007) was a legendary Persian Pop and classical singer and diva and the younger sister of singer Hayedeh. Eftekhar Dadehbala (Mahasti) (November 16, 1946 - June 25, 2007) was an Iranian singer with roots from Kermanshah (Kermanshan), in Kurdistan, who was recognized as the "Banooye Golhaa va Delha" (Lady of hearts & flowers). She was the younger sister of another popular Iranian female singer, Hayedeh. Mahasti's voice was discovered by maestro Parviz Yahaghi, a distinguished Iranian composer and violinist. She was amongst a rare group of singers who "started" their careers on the prestigious Persian traditional music radio program Gol hâ ye Rangârang( گلهای رنگارنگ), in 1963 with the song "Anke Delam Râ Borde Xodâyâ"(Persian -آنكه دلم را برده خدایا) composed and arranged by maestro Parviz Yahaghi with lyrics from Bijan Taraghi. She has worked with some of the most famous Iranian composers, including Parviz Yahaghi, Habibollah Badiei, Homayoon Khorram, Asadollah Malek, Anooshiravan Rohani, Jahanbakhsh Pazooki, Hasan Shamaeizadeh, Mohammad Heidari, Jamshid Sheibani, Sadegh Nojooki, and Manoochehr Cheshmazar as well as some younger composers such as Bijan Mortazavi, Faramarz Aasef, Mehrdad Asemani, and Shadmehr Aghili. In the beginning, her family was reluctant to allow her to pursue a career in entertainment because it was not appreciated for women at the time in Iran. However, Mahasti overcame this stigma by providing Iran with a new image for women within the entertainment industry. She was an image of a "gentle-woman", a lady with great manners. Her enormous success in music opened the way for many other women, including her older sister, Hayedeh, who started her work about 5 years after Mahasti. The two sisters made tremendous contributions to improving the image of female singers in Iran and in making the transition of Iranian music from where it was then, to where it is now. Mahasti's career was remarkable. In 2005, she was awarded the Persian Female Pop-Classic Vocalist of Excellence by the World Academy of Arts, Literature and Media (formerly Persian Academy Awards) for over 40 years of top performance in Persian pop music. She sang more than 400 songs, contributed to more than 200 music albums with other Persian singers, and produced more than 35 music albums in which she was the only singer. In her albums she has worked with several other singers, including Hayedeh (her sister), Sattar, Akbar Golpaygani (Golpa), Iraj (Hossein Khajeh Amiri), Mahmoodi Khansari, Aref, Moein, Shahram Solati, Faramarz Asef, Homeyra, Hasan Shamaeizadeh, and Sadegh Nojooki. Mahsati's parents got divorced and got married to other people. When she wanted to pursue a career of singing her parents weren't happy because of Society's look upon female singers at the time. Mahasti married Kouros Nazemiyan and gave birth to her only child, Sahar. Mahasti and her family lived in Abadan for several years , finally moving back to Tehran. Her marriage with Nazemiyan ultimately ended in divorce. Nazemiyan was executed by the Revolutionary Court of the new Islamic Republic shortly after revolution. Several years later she re-married to Bahram Sanandaji, owner of a shoe factory, however their marriage also ended. In 1978, Just before the Iranian Revolution she emigrated to the United Kingdom and then to the United States where she lived thereafter. In March 2007, Mahasti publicly announced that she had been battling colon cancer for four years. She hoped that her experience would raise awareness within the Iranian community regarding cancer and the significance of constant physical examinations. She was then living in Santa Rosa, California with her daughter, Sahar. She died at 7:52 AM on June 25, 2007 in Santa Rosa. Mahasti was interred at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California on June 29, 2007 the same cemetery where her sister Hayedeh was also buried at. Her funeral was broadcast live on Persian Broadcasting Company "Tapesh" and was attended by many Persian celebrities and stars and other artists including the mayor of Beverly Hills Jimmy Delshad and designer Bijan Pakzad. aa degree online aa degree online him Mortgage credit card balance transfer zero interest Transfer to emphasize for example Mortgage about personal injury lawyer criminal defense lawyer adjacent to adult dedicated hosting accept business card credit to Cord Blood Attorney credit card balance transfer zero interest for the purpose of credit card balance transfer zero interest mother arizona drug rehab application capital card credit one truly accident claims no win no fee granted Claim think australia web hosting accident colorado lawyer accident georgia lawyer airport car hire malaga earth ways to make money debt problems will conference calls toll free along with in the distance store umbilical cord blood additionally Cord Blood go alicante car cheap hire as well as augmentation breast cost behind arizona bankruptcy lawyer such as atlanta attorney injury personal indeed home equity line of credit home equity line of credit crm software programs for the purpose of help desk software cheap including acid reflux food abbey insurance national instantly Transfer for the purpose of Transfer differ personal injury claim Claim conference calls toll free coupled with conference calls toll free acrossand managed web hosting solution hosting ms exchange such as psychology bachelors degree online criminal justice degrees online Lawyer granted criminal defense lawyer point often overlooked augmentation breast houston and accident colorado lawyer prior to Treatment such as drug treatment centers mother Cord Blood store umbilical cord blood auto budget insurance airport car hire malaga auto california in insurance anti spam for outlook Loans consolidate graduate student loans cheapest homeowner loans Loans consolidate graduate student loans cheapest homeowner loans very help desk software cheap Software down Credit beside home equity line of credit criminal justice online classes for example online classes business administration also beside auto insurance quotes as well as anti spam lotus notes consequently Trading Transfer since Gas and Electricity beside Degree then Asbestos Cancer i need money great argent company mortgage auto home insurance for instance at and t mobile for the purpose of adsense because the at t cordless phone aol high speed as a matter of fact att call conference auto insurance quotes Hayede Album nameh has 13 musics

OROVILLE — An old saying claims a compromise is good if those on both sides of the issue are dissatisfied with the outcome.
If that"s true, the Butte County Board of Supervisors may have reached a good compromise today in a zoning issue that had neighbors sharply divided in Butte Valley.
The zoning plan covered 249 parcels and about 2,500 acres in the area around Clark and Durham-Pentz roads.
A group of residents in the area, calling themselves the Butte Valley Coalition, sought the new zone to prohibit people having more than two pieces of heavy equipment and a work vehicle on their property.
The zoning change also prohibited schools, parks, golf courses, "public safety facilities," and other land uses within the zone.
The proposal originally went before the board on Aug. 27. Board chairman Bill Connelly of Oroville was absent that day, and the rest of the supervisors decided to postpone any action until all five were there.
With Connelly present Tuesday the board again listened as a parade of Butte Valley residents spoke passionately for and against the proposal.
Some said the roads in the area cannot support the passage of heavy trucks and equipment. Some claimed it was a property rights issue and they shouldn"t be telling people how they can use their property.
One individual said she had lived in the area for 25 years and there are people who have stored dump trucks, road graders on the like on their land property for that time and longer.
Another man he and his neighbors have a right to the quiet rural environment they came to Butte Valley to find and heavy machinery was incompatible.
Others said the whole issue was about neighbors not getting along and if they would just "sit down with a cup of coffee or a beer" they could work out the problems without involving the county.
Besides allowing two pieces of heavy equipment and a work vehicle, the proposed zone also exempted equipment to be strictly used on an individual"s property, or for agricultural operations.
The zone also required the machinery be screened from general view.
According to Connelly, historically heavy equipment storage was an accepted use in the rural areas of the county and if neighbors had problems with each other they met and reached a compromise.
Chico Supervisor Larry Wahl made a motion to deny the zoning change. That motion died for lack of a second.
Paradise Supervisor Doug Teeter, who represents the Butte Valley area made a motion to approve the new zoning as written but his motion also died for lack of a second.
Chico Supervisor Maureen Kirk moved to adopt the two new zones — rural country residential and rural foothill residential — but with some adjustments.
She wanted all of the prohibited "ancillary" uses — parks, schools, etc. — allowed with use permits that the public could comment on.
Kirk also observed the parcel sizes in the area to be rezoned ranged from less than an acre to well over 10 acres and she didn"t think it was reasonable to treat a small parcel the same as a large one.
Kirk moved to alter the zones so that the zoning regulations would stand as written on lots smaller than 10 acres, but on parcels greater than 10 acres two more pieces of equipment, for a total of four, would be allowed by right. The additional equipment would have to comply with the screening and other regulations in the zone.
Under her proposal people on the larger parcels could seek approval to park more equipment through a use permit procedure that would require county staff review and neighbor notification.
When the vote was taken Lambert and Wahl voted no, and Connelly, Teeter and Kirk voted yes.
With the passage of the rezone just about everybody who had spoken for or against the proposal groaned. Nobody seemed pleased.

As the GOP field hunkered down for Super Tuesday, Stephen Colbert had a prediction Monday night — and it was one he was none too pleased to make.
"It looks like it's gonna be Mitt Romney's night," the "Colbert Report" host declared.
He cited the former Massachusetts governor's leads in a handful of states, Idaho among them. ("No surprise — it's the potato state, and Mitt is nothing if not pale and starchy," he quipped.)
"From a purely mathematical standpoint, I and my fellow conservatives will eventually yield to the inevitability of Mitt Romney," Colbert said with resignation.
With that, the Countdown to Loving Mitt clock he unveiled last week, in a joke on Republican voters' reluctance to get behind Romney's candidacy, reappeared.
"How long have I got? Oh God! Twenty-three hours, 58 minutes — I can't breathe!" he said. "It's just bad luck for the bride to see the man you're going to marry before you want to."

Guam to the natives also called "Guahan" is an island in the western North Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. (Geographic coordinates: 13 28 N, 144 47 E)
It is the largest and southernmost island in the Mariana Islands archipelago. Guam is a territory of the United States of America. It is considered to occupy a militarily strategic location, south of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Guam is one of many islands that make up Micronesia, which politically consists of Belau (Palau), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Kiribati (anthropologically having affinities with Polynesia and Micronesia), the Marshall Islands, and several remote islands designated as the US-administered islands of the Central Pacific. All of Micronesia has close political ties to the US.
Northern Region- The northern part of the island is a relatively flat limestone plateau and is comprised of two villages (Dedeo and Yigo) and the United States' Andersen Air Force Base. Dededo is Guam's most populous village. Highlights for visitors include the Guam National Wildlife Refuge Ritidian Unit, the Micronesia Mall, Two Lovers Point, parks, beaches and hiking trails. Dededo hosts a busy weekend flea market that attracts large crowds - vendors sell all kinds of items, local produce and tasty food.
Central Region- Central Guam is quite metropolitan. The island's capitol of Hagåtña is the seat of government and features a historic walking path through the village. Tumon Bay is brimming with luxury hotels and high-end shopping. Destinations of interest here include: the Chamorro Village with its lively Wednesday Night Market; the historic Plaza de Espana and Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica; plentiful beaches with water sports like parasailing, kite boarding, boating and personal watercraft. Local companies offer dolphin watching, diving, and fishing tours regularly. The most bustling nightlife is located in this region of the island - there are many bars, karaoke joints, and dance clubs up and down the Tumon strip. Shopping spots include Guam Premier Outlets and Agana Shopping Center. A new Guam Museum is currently under construction.
Southern Region- Guam's southern end is mostly rural and picturesque - featuring a volcanic mountain range and rolling green hills. Chamorro customs are preserved at Inarajan's Gef Pa'go Cultural Village; it features thatched huts and offers a picture of pre-World War II Guam. Visitors can learn to make a variety of crafts including woven items, rope, sea salt, coconut candy and coconut oil. Off the coast of Merizo and across a lagoon sits Cocos Island. Talofofo Bay's black sand beaches are a beautiful contrast to the white sand found around the rest of the island. Hiking trails are plentiful, and lead to destinations like Upper and Lower Sigua Falls and an ancient Spanish bridge down in Cetti Bay. The War in the Pacific National Historic Park operates a visitor center near the main gate of US Naval Base Guam.
All villages elect a mayor and vice mayor. Central villages are more urban. According to the 2010 US Census, Guam's population is 85% Catholic. Each village celebrates the fiesta of a patron saint or saints. These fiestas are usually large events where everyone is welcome, regardless of religious beliefs. On December 8, the island celebrates its patron saint of Santa Maria Kamalen with a Mass at the cathedral-basilica and a procession around Hagåtña. This event dates back hundreds of years, to the Spanish Era.
Points of interest[edit]
Other destinations[edit]
Guam was ceded to the US by Spain in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. Captured by Japan and its army in 1941, it was retaken by the US three years later. The military installations on the island are some of the more strategically important U.S. bases in the Western Pacific.
The economy depends on US military spending, tourism, and the export of fish and handicrafts. Total US grants, wage payments, and procurement outlays amounted to $1 billion in 1998. Over the past 20 years, the tourist industry has grown rapidly, creating a construction boom for new hotels and the expansion of older ones. More than 1 million tourists visit Guam each year. The industry has recently suffered setbacks because of the continuing Japanese slowdown; the Japanese normally make up almost 90% of the tourists. However, Guam tourism is branching out to attract people from other Asian countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and China. Most food and industrial goods are imported. The possibility of a large military buildup has generated a lot of interest in increasing the tourist facilities on the island.
Guam enjoys a tropical marine climate: generally warm and humid, moderated by northeast trade winds. The dry season runs from January to June, the rainy season from July to December, though with little seasonal temperature variation. During the rains, squalls are common, though destructive typhoons are rare.
Political Status[edit]
A unique aspect of Guam for interested world travellers is its long standing relationship with the United States as an unincorporated territory. While the island's political status has remain unchanged for over a century many island stakeholder's are seeking solutions to address political status.
Get in[edit]
Visa-free entry[edit]
The entry requirements for Guam are largely the same as those for the US, and nationals of all countries not needing a visa to enter the U.S. do not need a visa to enter Guam, although they may require an ESTA travel authorization. These countries include:
Guam/CNMI Visa Waiver Program[edit]
Foreign citizens may enter Guam using one of three options:
If you are using the Guam/CNMI Visa Waiver Program, you do not need to apply for a travel authorization prior to going. The Guam/CNMI Visa Waiver Program includes seven U.S.-VWP countries (Australia, Brunei, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore and the UK) plus Hong Kong, Malaysia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan and Russia (from 15.01.2012). Foreign citizens using the US-Visa Waiver Program may stay 90 days, while citizens using the Guam/CNMI-VWP may stay for 45 days. Mainland Chinese (including Macau) citizens in possession of a machine-readable passport, completed Form I-736 (Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Information form) and Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) may enter the CNMI only visa-free for up to 45 days (travel to Guam still requires applying for a visa in advance). Citizens of non-VWP countries must apply for a U.S. visa at any U.S. embassy.
By plane[edit]
Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM) is the only civilian gateway to the island and is located only a few kilometers inland of Tumon. The airport is quite pleasant and relatively large compared to population; it is also sleep-able if you have a few hours in transit. The Internet at the airport does work quite smoothly. (April 2019). A taxi from the airport to local hotels is a complete rip off -- several times more expensive than it would be on the mainland. There is no public bus option from the airport, so best is to team up with someone.
The airline servicing Guam is United Airlines, which offers non-stop service to Honolulu with onward connections in Honolulu to Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco and Washington-Dulles. It also offers non-stop flights from Guam to four major cities in Japan, as well as Palau, Manila, Saipan, and many of the Federated States of Micronesia.
All other service to Guam is through East Asia on JAL (Tokyo), Korean Air (Seoul, Busan and Osaka), China Airlines (Taipei), Eva Airways (Taipei) and Philippine Airlines (Manila).
By boat[edit]
There is no regular ferry service from Guam, but cruise ships do stop in Guam on various itineraries, generally as part of a Pacific crossing or world circumnavigation.
Get around[edit]
By car[edit]
is fairly simple and similar to the mainland US. Roads are not graded to US standards and are very slippery in rain, take caution. The main route on the island is Marine Corps Drive/Guam Route 1 (Better known as Marine Drive). On main roads in Guam, expect congestion. Many people purchase vehicles described as "Guam Bombs" which are older vehicles that are great to get around in and affordable.
By bus[edit]
Buses are available, but the frequency at which they operate is very unpredictable, you may end up waiting 2+ hours for a bus. The Guam Public Transportation system is generally known to be unreliable and slow. As of December 2016, there has been an improvement -- bus drivers have cell phones and there are inspectors. It is a cheap way to travel around the island if you do not want to bother with car rental.
The Tourist Shopping Buses stops at most hotels in Tumon. The Shopping Bus costs $4 for a one-way ticket and $12 for a daily pass -- December 2016. There are buses going North and South -- make sure you pick the right one -- service is frequent and it works well.
is only safe in the central business districts of Hagåtña and Tumon. Walking anywhere else around the island is hazardous due to dangerous vehicular traffic and the lack of sidewalks.
English and Chamorro are the official languages of Guam, English being the dominant language. The Chamorro language contains a great deal of influence from Spanish. Persons employed in the tourist industry will typically have a working knowledge of Japanese and Korean. Filipino is spoken by the large immigrant community and some Spanish is understood too.
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
There are many retail outlets in Guam, including DFS (Duty Free Shoppers) which operates several stores in hotels, a large "Galleria," and a store in the Guam Airport. Further, visitors to Guam will note some of the same shopping opportunities that exist in "the States." Although there is no Wal-Mart, there is a large K-Mart that does a very high volume of business. Indeed, visitors who are used to the cavernous voids of K-Marts in the US may be surprised to find that they can barely squeeze through the aisles of the Guam K-Mart.
The Tumon Bay area possesses many duty-free shopping outlets and boutiques catering to Japanese tourists. Among these are boutiques selling Bvlgari, Chanel, Cartier, Dior, Fendi, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, and more.
For US citizens, Guam offers greatly increased customs exemptions coupled with duty and tax free importation of goods. However, take care with the basic prices offered in stores. Much merchandise has been shipped a very great distance at no small cost.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Locals pride themselves in Guam's take on barbecue and families and friends often get together and for barbecues. If you ask, there's a good chance you'll get invited. Chamorro cuisine is a mix of Spanish, Asian and American flavors. The typical eating plate features red rice, barbecued meat, flour or corn tortillas, keleguen (a cold meat appetizer made from beef, chicken, or seafood, coconut, onions, peppers and lemon juice), and various vegetable side dishes. A local fermented coconut drink called "tuba" can also be found at fiestas, flea markets or from roadside vendors.
Guam has a large range of restaurants, including many American mainland fast food and franchise chains. Japanese franchise eateries are also common. Major hotels and restaurants serve continental meals and ethnic dishes. Travellers who venture further will find Chamorro, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Chinese, Mexican, and European restaurants, each with its own distinct ambiance.
Fresh seafood is bountiful. Fresh fish, octopus, and crab are either grilled or baked with vegetables or fruit, sashimi, and in other ways unique to the Pacific. Local produce includes corn, bananas, mangoes, calamansi, limes, tangerines, eggplant, watermelon, cucumber and more and is often sold at flea markets or roadside fruit stands.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
The main tourist area is around Tumon Bay, which has a number of high-rise hotels and resorts similar to Waikiki Beach. Cheaper accommodations exist near the airport, especially around the village of Harmon. Be aware that Harmon hotels tend to be on the seedier side since Harmon is a mixed industrial/residential neighborhood. Many of the flights scheduled through Guam to other locations (especially in Asia) often require an overnight layover, so plan ahead. Some hotels offer airport pickup, as taxis can be quite expensive.
The University of Guam [13] is the only public university in the western pacific and is the educational hub for the region. UOG is in Mangilao, on the central eastern side of Guam. The university is primarily an undergraduate teaching university but does have Masters programs that focus on local research. Two of the Masters level programs include the (1) Environmental Science Program, with a focus on regional issues under three major sub-disciplines: biology-ecology, geosciences-engineering, and economics-management-law.; and (2) the Marine Laboratory (http://www.uog.edu/marinelab), which focuses on Marine Biology and other environmental issues.
As a US territory, Americans and American Samoan citizens can come here and work with no special visa or requirements, and they can stay and work indefinitely. Foreigners must go through the rigorous process of obtaining a US work permit. See the United States work section for more information.
The largest employers are the government of Guam and United Airlines, followed by a large duty-free retail firm (DFS Guam), the U.S. Federal Government, the hotel industry and services sectors. Guam has two large military bases and several smaller military installations that employ many people. The only U.S. Air Force base is Andersen Air Force Base on the northern tip of the island. The U.S. Navy has a large naval station -- Naval Station Guam --located on the west-central part of the island near the village Agat.
Micronesian Diver's Association [14]has information on the many local dive sites as well as boat dives around the island. Highlights include: The Blue Hole, a more advanced dive with an incredible drop through a hole in the reef; and the Kitzagawa Maru and Tokei Maru, two Japanese warships sunk out in Apra Habor. 337 kilometers off the south east coast lies the worlds deepest point, the Mariana Trench, for anyone wishing to peer 11,000 meters down into the abyss you will need to charter a private boat for the experience.
Stay safe[edit]
Observe caution when engaged in water activities on Guam, as in any coastal area, as currents can be swift and unpredictable, depending on the season. During the rainy season (from about August until March), water can pool unevenly on road surfaces. Pooling of rain water can lead to flooding of roads in the southern half of Guam, which does not have sewer drainage built under the road surfaces. Furthermore, many roads are in disrepair and potholes are frequent, which can easily blow out tires.
Violent crime is fairly low, but property crime tends to be high, so safeguard valuables in vehicles. When traveling to rural or isolated areas, particularly near hiking trails, it is best to take valuables with you and leave your vehicle unlocked; they are often broken into and it will save you from paying for damages to the vehicle. Rental cars are marked by stickers and can be targeted by thieves. Sex crime is very serious problem in Guam. For the tourists, be careful when you are jogging in isolated area such as remote road to Two Lover's Point, where some sexual assault cases have been reported. Guam is in a major earthquake zone, and these occur every few years. That said, there have been few casualties to date.
LGBT visitors[edit]
The mainland U.S. has had some influence on Guam when it comes to LGBT rights. Private non-commercial same-sex acts are legal. But there are no anti-discrimination nor harassment codes in place, outside of military bases. Same-sex marriages are performed and recognized as of June 2015 and it is also legal to adopt a child if you plan on living in Guam.
Stay healthy[edit]
The civilian Guam Memorial Hospital is in Tamuning, in the Central Region. If you have access to military bases, there's a Naval Hospital.
The Chamorro people, also known as the Chamoro or Chamoru, are indigenous to Guam. They possess a culture that mixes Asian, Spanish, and American cultures, and in general the people are gregarious and welcoming to visitors. Observe common courtesies and tend to err on the modest side, especially with clothing. Other cultures found in Guam include those from the Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, and other countries.
The Chamorro population is predominantly but not exclusively Catholic, with Protestantism also popular. On Guam, rosaries take the place of large formal gatherings to remember those who have passed away, and such congregations can occur for up to 20 years after someone has passed.

Judge the album cover
the U.S. version
and the UK version
**So do you like them or not and which do you prefer?
***Remember if you like album covers then go check out Whole lotta album covers .
I never even knew that there was a different cover in the UK. I always liked the Point of Entry cover in the US even though it was kinda cheesy with the computer paper as a road. The UK cover is pretty cool though too in a minimalist way. I think I'm gonna go with the UK version.
I'm so used to the U.S. version, so I guess that I prefer that one. I don't think that I've seen the U.K. version before. It's good.
The UK version works better for me.
I've never seen the UK cover! Both stink--especially when compared to earlier Priest covers (I've always been partial to Sad Wings of Destiny).
I think both are alright and fairly even. I like the horizon on the US version, but the album title looks very cheap. On the UK version I like the Judas Priest logo as I always thought it looked best in red.
I agree they both are very slipshod vs say Sad Wings of Destiny. If I had to choose one it would probably be the US version as it suits the music better (Heading Out To The Highway, Desert Plains, Solar Angels)
Like most others, I've never seen the UK version before...and I prefer it over the more familiar blue-horizon rendering. The US cover is too much of a departure from other Priest covers...the UK one eases the transition between British Steel's cover and Point of Entry a bit.
I like the UK version better.
The US version looks like a alst minute F**K up...the UK version is much better. I didn't know that two versions even existed!
Priest were no strangers to having things about their albums changed by this point. Rocka Rolla has two different covers as well and the album we in the U.S. know as "Hell bent for leather" was called "Killing Machine" in the UK.
I don't really care for either of them. But, I would have to say, I like the UK version a little better...
I'm not a big fan of either, both or sort of bland but if I had to choose one I would choose the UK version.
I like the UK version. I always thought the US version was cheesy.
Hmmm... I dunno. Since no one said it, I will say it - the UK one is pretty phallic, which matches the title of the album quite well... I never really liked Judas Priest, so I don't prefer either... just my two cents...LOL.
BTW. I'm linking your blog. Hope you don't mind=:)
I forgot there was a UK version, which actually has more of a cerebral effect, but I do applaud the effect by that old computer paper, so I'll keep with the US version

Climb on Safely
Climb On Safely is the Boy Scouts of America's recommended procedure for organizing BSA climbing/rappelling activities at a natural site or a specifically designed facility such as a climbing wall or tower.
Young people today seek greater challenges, and climbing and rappelling offer a worthy challenge. The satisfaction of safely climbing a rock face is hard to top. While introduction of the Climbing merit badge in spring 1997 spurred interest in these activities through the BSA, the proliferation of climbing gyms and facilities has also made climbing and rappelling readily available throughout the United States.
This increased interest has made the BSA more aware of the inherent risks of climbing and rappelling. More accidents occur during unit rappelling than during council-managed climbing or rappelling, and more accidents have occurred during rappelling than climbing. Many climbing rappelling accidents could be avoided by having qualified instruction from a conscientious adult who has the attention and respect of the youth entrusted to his or her care. Supervision by a caring adult who fully understands and appreciates the responsibility he or she assumes helps assure safety when youth engage in or prepare for climbing or rappelling.
The adult supervisor's relationship with youth should reinforce the importance of following instructions. The adult leader in charge and the climbing instructor share this responsibility. The instructor is responsible for all procedures and for safely conducting the climbing/rappelling activity. The adult supervisor works cooperatively with the climbing instructor and is responsible for all matters outside of the climbing/rappelling activity.
Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills, sixth or seventh edition, edited by Don Graydon and Kurt Hanson, is a recommended reference for specific questions not covered in BSA literature.
Units that elect to participate in lead climbing and snow and ice climbing should receive training from a nationally recognized organization that trains climbing and rappelling instructors. All council and district climbing must be top-roped.
Passport to High Adventure, No. 4310, published by the BSA, is an appropriate guidebook to safely get your unit to and from the climbing/rappelling site.
Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts are encouraged to engage in climbing in a controlled environment with close supervision by instructors who are knowledgeable about instructing this age group. Webelos Scouts also may participate in rappelling. Normally this means going to a climbing gym where the degree of difficulty is age-appropriate and the harnesses are size-appropriate for Cub Scouts. It is not recommended that Cub Scouts use climbing towers and walls in camp that have been designed for Boy Scout use. See the age-appropriate guidelines here.
Each of the following points plays an important role in the overall Climb On Safely. Fun and safe climbing/rappelling activities require close compliance of Climb On Safely by the adult supervisor and instructor. These points also apply to bouldering—traversing a few feet above ground level.
1. Qualified Supervision
All climbing and rappelling must be supervised by a mature, conscientious adult at least 21 years of age who understands the risks inherent to these activities. This person knowingly accepts responsibility for the well-being and safety of the youth in his or her care. This adult supervisor is trained in and committed to compliance with the eight points of the Boy Scouts of America's Climb On Safely procedure. One additional adult who is at least 18 years of age must also accompany the unit. Units with more than 10 youths in the same climbing/rappelling session must have an additional adult leader at least 18 years of age for each 10 additional youth participants. In other words, a group of 11 to 20 youths requires at least three adult leaders; a group of 21 to 30 youths would require four adult leaders, and so on.
The adult supervisor is responsible for ensuring that someone in the group is currently trained in American Red Cross Standard First Aid and CPR (a 6½-hour course). In addition, Wilderness First Aid Basic (a 16-hour course) is recommended for units going to remote areas. A course of equivalent length and content from another nationally recognized organization can be substituted. A higher level of certification such as emergency medical technician (EMT), licensed practical nurse (LPN), registered nurse (RN), and licensed health-care practitioner is also acceptable. The ARC's Emergency Response, a 43½-hour course that includes CPR, is highly recommended.
2. Qualified Instructors
A qualified rock climbing instructor who is at least 21 years of age must supervise all BSA climbing/rappelling activities. A currently trained BSA climbing director or instructor is highly recommended. Contact your local council or regional service center to locate a qualified individual. The climbing instructor has successfully completed a minimum of 10 hours of instructor training for climbing/rappelling from a nationally or regionally recognized organization, a climbing school, a college-level climbing/rappelling course.
The BSA offers a section of National Camping School for climbing directors who in turn can train climbing instructors. Contact your local council or regional service center for a schedule of National Camping Schools. Every instructor must have prior experiences in teaching climbing/rappelling to youth and must agree to adhere to Climb On Safely and the guidelines set in Topping Out.
A capable instructor has experience in teaching climbing and rappelling to youth, acknowledges personal limitations, and exercises good judgment in a variety of circumstances. The person who just spent four days of free-solo climbing on a sheer rock face may have technical skills but may lack teaching ability or the ability to empathize with youth who may be apprehensive about climbing.
Examples of sources of qualified climbing and rappelling instructors include, but are not limited to, the following:
- BSA climbing directors or instructors
- National Outdoor Leadership School
- Wilderness Education Association
- American Mountain Guides Association
- The Mountaineers
- Recreational Equipment Inc.
- Eastern Mountain Sports
- University or college climbing/rappelling instructors or students
- Project Adventure instructors
- National Speleological Society chapters
Leaders and instructors should also consult current literature on climbing and rappelling for additional guidance. Topping Out: A BSA Climbing/Rappelling Manual, No. 3207A, is the most authoritative guide currently available from the Boy Scouts of America.
3. Physical Fitness
Require evidence of fitness for the climbing/rappelling activity with at least a current BSA Personal Health and Medical Record. A fitness regimen is recommended prior to participation in climbing or rappelling. The adult supervisor should adapt all supervision, discipline, and precautions to anticipate any potential risks associated with individual health conditions.
If a significant health condition is present, an examination by a licensed health-care practitioner should be required by the adult supervisor before permitting participation in climbing or rappelling. The adult supervisor should inform the climbing instructor about each participant's medical conditions.
4. Safe Area
All BSA climbing/rappelling activities must be conducted using an established climbing or rappelling site or facility, including a portable or commercial facility. A qualified climbing instructor should survey the site in advance of the activity to identify and evaluate possible hazards and to determine whether the site is suitable for the age, maturity, and skill level of the participants. The instructor should also verify that the site is sufficient to safely and comfortably accommodate the number of participants in the activity within the available time. An emergency evacuation route must be identified in advance.
5. Equipment
The climbing instructor should verify that the proper equipment is available for the size and ability level of participants. Helmets, rope, and climbing hardware must be approved by the UIAA (Union Internationale des Associations d' Alpinisme) or CE (European Community Norm), or meet ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. All equipment must be acquired new or furnished by the instructor.
An approved climbing helmet must be worn during all BSA climbing/rappelling activities where the participant's feet are more than shoulder height above ground level. When using a commercial climbing gym, the climbing facility's equipment procedures apply.
6. Planning
When planning, remember the following:
- Obtain written parental consent to participate in climbing/rappelling activities for each participant.
- In the event of severe weather or other problem, share the climbing/rappelling plan and an alternate with parents and the unit committee.
- Secure the necessary permits or written permission for using private or public lands.
- Enlist the help of a qualified climbing instructor.
- Be sure the instructor has a map for the area being used and obtains a current weather report for the area before the group's departure.
It is suggested that at least one of the adult leaders has an electronic means of communication in case of an emergency.
Before any activity, an adult leader should develop and share an emergency plan that includes the location of a nearby medical facility and the means of communicating with parents during the outing.
7. Environmental Conditions
The instructor, each adult leader, and each participant assume responsibility for monitoring potentially dangerous environmental conditions that may include loose, crumbly rock; poisonous plants; wildlife; and inclement weather. Use the buddy system to monitor concerns such as dehydration, hypothermia, and an unusually high degree of fear or apprehension. The adult supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the group leaves no trace of its presence at the site. See the Principles of Leave No Trace, No. 21-105.
8. Discipline
Each participant knows, understands, and respects the rules and procedures for safely climbing and rappelling and has been oriented in Climb On Safely and Leave No Trace. All BSA members should respect and follow all instructions and rules of the climbing instructor. The applicable rules should be presented and learned prior to the outing and should be reviewed for all participants before climbing or rappelling begins. When participants know the reasons for rules and procedures, they are more likely to follow them. The climbing instructor must be strict and fair, showing no favoritism.

Semi-Precious Stones
Bringing in ELEMENTS of the earth into Fine Art
My "Elements" series is a creative blending of semi-precious stones and unique pieces of the earth with traditional fine art. I love finding and using things that were created by nature such as semi-precious stones and sea shells, using them in unique and creative ways.
"I've never seen anything like it" Is the biggest comment I get.
The semi-precious stones I use in my Elements series come from all over the world from various sources. Most of the stones I use have been collected throughout the year in order to work out my compositions and then incorporate them into my paintings.
Each semi-precious stone has individual properties generating energetically from the stone. My semi precious stones paintings will illuminate and fill your room with there energy where the art will hang.
I encourage people to touch the stones on the art to resonate with its properties. In my semi precious stone art I include properties of the stones with the descriptions. Some stones are healing, energizing, loving, and calming. Some resonate with different chakras and evoke emotions.
I love working with and showcasing the unique beauty found in each semi-precious stone. I hope you enjoy these unique works as much as I enjoy creating them.

A report released today explores whether college and university policies in the U.S. are making the grade when it comes to addressing sexual assault. Making the Grade? Findings from the Campus Accountability Project on Sexual Assault Policies provides a snapshot of nearly 300 institutional policies from 2009-2012. Policies were collected by student activists and analyzed by SAFER and V-DAY who collaborated on the Campus Accountability Project and report.
The overall findings demonstrate campus sexual assault is not comprehensively addressed by college and university polices.
- 80% Received Grade of C or Lower
- Primary Prevention Programming Continues To Represent Critical Area for Growth
- Nearly One-Third of Policies Do Not Fully Comply with Federal Law
According to the report, "Policy represents a powerful, sustainable tool for eliminating sexual violence and responding to the needs of survivors. Students, staff, and faculty leave campus, but policy endures. It can institutionalize social and procedural norms that support survivors, uphold due process, and counteract rape culture at U.S. colleges and universities."
The research focused on five domains:
- Survivor resources
- Educational programming
- Safety initiatives
- Formal policy highlights
- Clery Act Compliance
The full report covers the study methods and sample, and findings highlight each of the five domains of research as well as composite scores (A-F) for the sample. The highest scoring policy was a B+, and on average policies assessed in the database received a D+. Sadly, nearly one-quarter (22.1%) scored in the F range.
"Campus stakeholders seeking to end sexual assault should expand opportunities for student involvement in meaningful primary prevention activities."
Detailed conclusions and recommendations from SAFER and V-Day emphasize the importance of primary prevention activities on campuses. Although most of the policies in the database employ awareness-raising, risk reduction (90%) and safety initiatives (75%), these efforts are not effective in addressing the root causes of sexual violence. Campus risk reduction and safety activities can actually be a barrier to change and promote victim blaming when they occur in isolation from primary prevention efforts (such as bystander intervention, changing norms, engaging men).
Although the report presents bleak findings on the current state of campus sexual assault policies, it also affirms the potential for change. Social movements to address campus sexual assault are gaining momentum, and the report highlighted student empowerment project Know Your IX. Comprehensive reporting on the epidemic of campus sexual assault is working to increase public investment and outrage including the recent efforts of Al Jazeera America. Federal legislation such as the Campus SaVE Act prioritizes and mandates primary prevention programming on college campuses.
As the attention on campus sexual assault prevalence and policies grows, it's exciting to see efforts such as this report which lay a road map to counteract rape culture. Report recommendations provide practical steps for campuses to work toward change:
- Increase the availability and accessibility of survivor resources, such as free emergency contraception after sexual assault;
- Increase primary prevention efforts and create more opportunities for students to engage meaningfully with primary prevention activities;
- Ensure that sexual assault policies are accessible to students in regard to centralized placement on schools' websites, readability, and comprehensiveness;
- Adopt amnesty clauses to encourage reporting by survivors who may have been in violation of other school policies at the time of their assault; and
- Create more opportunities for students to participate in policy decisions.
The Campus Accountability Project (CAP) is a national online database of sexual assault policies at U.S. institutions of higher education. The data is used to assess campus policies and functions as a teaching tool for student activists working toward reform.
SAFER and V-Day aim to support student activists who seek to affect long-lasting change in their campus communities by reforming their schools' sexual assault policies.

Director, Associate Director and Section Chiefs in the chemical research and development program at Iowa State College (University) which assisted in the World War II Manhattan Project. Left to Right: Harley Wilhelm, Adrian Daane, Amos Newton, Adolf Voigt, Wayne Keller, C. F. Gray, Frank Spedding, Robert Rundle, James Warf.
The Ames Laboratory began as a chemical research and development program at Iowa State College (University) to assist the World War II Manhattan Project. The program developed an entirely new technology for the conversion of uranium ore to high-purity uranium metal and then used that technology to produce more than 2 million pounds by the end of the war. In 1947, the United States Atomic Energy Commission officially established the Ames Laboratory as a National Laboratory. It is currently a United States Department of Energy research facility operated by Iowa State University. The Laboratory and University share facilities, functions, graduate students, and faculty/principle investigators. After World War II, the Ames Laboratory specialized in rare metals and methods of achieving chemical transformation without the production of toxic waste. The Laboratory has expanded its scope beyond materials research, including research in photosynthesis, hazardous waste analysis, computer programming, quasicrystals, and nontraditional materials.
Fifteen interviews have been completed by independent researcher Sue Futrell and are being transcribed. The finding aid for the Ames Lab Oral History Collection is available online. Audio portions of the interviews are also available online.
"Little Ankeny" (pictured above) was named in contrast with the large-scale ordnance work located in Ankeny during World War II. Little Ankeny was a temporary building left over from World War I and housed uranium production on the Iowa State campus from January 1943 until the end of the war. During that time, two million pounds (one thousand tons) of pure uranium metal was made there. Industry came here to learn how to produce the metal, and then the process was turned over to industry. The process was developed and patented by Dr. Frank Spedding and Dr. Harley Wilhelm. Little Ankeny was located east of the Food Science Building, and a plaque now marks its location.
Dr. Harley Wilhelm developed an efficient way to produce uranium metal for the Manhattan project and was a co-founder of the Ames Lab. The Ames Lab Oral History Collection includes interviews of his family.

Born in Dunkerque, Alain Dodier saw his first comics pages published in the fanzine Falatoff in 1973, and in the Carte Blanche section of Spirou in 1975 and 1976. He made his professional debut in the environmentalist magazine Pistil in 1977 with the detective series series 'Janotus, Agent Spécial' and the animal gag series 'Marty et Titine'. By 1980, he began a fruitful colaboration with scenarist and neighbour Pierre Makyo.
Gully - Le petit prince et les agressicotons (1987)
Their first creation was 'Gully', the only melancholic boy in the joyful kingdoms of Yridor and Onriflor. The series started in Mercredi and was continued .to start the humorous historical series about the melancholic 'Gully' in Mercredi in 1980 and was continued in Spirou between 1983 and 1989.
Jérome K. Jérôme Bloche - A la vie, à la mort (1984)
The Dodier-Makyo tandem also provided short stories to magazines Djin and Tintin, such as 'Suzy la Petite Fourmi' and 'Léopold et Capucine'. The duo, accompanied by co-scriptwriter Serge Le Tendre, turned to a more realistic register for their next creation, the private investigator 'Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche'.
Gully - Le poisson bleu (1985)
The clumsy wannabe Humphrey Bogart and his inseparable Solex made his first appearance in the special Spirou Album +4 in 1982, and has since been a regular feature in Spirou magazine. After a third story written solely by Makyo, Dodier has assumed complete control over the series since the fourth story in 1986.

Critical fix for Java security flaw released
Software update to address critical flaw is out, but expert says Java not safe yet.
Oracle has released a software update to address a critical flaw in its widely used Java program after the US Department of Homeland Security urged computer users to disable it in web browsers because criminal hackers are exploiting the hole to attack PCs.
The update and advisory note are available from the Oracle website.
The US Department of Homeland Security and computer security experts said on Thursday that hackers figured out how to exploit the bug in a version of Java used with internet browsers to install malicious software on PCs. That has enabled them to commit crimes from identity theft to making an infected computer part of an ad-hoc computer network that can be used to attack websites.
Java security expert Adam Gowdiak, who has discovered several bugs in the software over the past year, said that the emergency update from Oracle leaves unfixed several critical security flaws.
"We don't dare to tell users that it's safe to enable Java again," said Gowdiak, a researcher with Poland's Security Explorations.
An Oracle spokeswoman declined to comment on Gowdiak's analysis.
Oracle said on its security blog on Sunday that its update fixed two vulnerabilities in the version of Java 7 for web browsers.
It said that it also switched Java's security settings to "high" by default, making it more difficult for suspicious programs to run on a personal computer without the knowledge of the user.
Java is a computer language that enables programmers to write software utilising just one set of codes that will run on virtually any type of computer, including ones that use Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux, an operating system widely employed by corporations. It is installed in internet browsers to access web content and also directly on PCs, server computers and other devices that use it to run a wide variety of computer programs.
Oracle said the recently discovered flaw only affected Java 7, the program's most-recent version, and Java software designed to run on browsers.
Java is so widely used that the software has become a prime target for hackers. Last year, Java surpassed Adobe Systems's Reader software as the most frequently attacked piece of software, according to security software maker Kaspersky Lab.
Java was the target of 50 per cent of all cyber attacks last year in which hackers broke into computers by exploiting software bugs, according to Kaspersky. That was followed by Adobe Reader, which was involved in 28 per cent of all incidents. Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer were involved in about 3 per cent of incidents, according to the survey.
The Department of Homeland Security said attackers could trick targets into visiting malicious websites that would infect their PCs with software capable of exploiting the bug in Java.
It said an attacker could also infect a legitimate website by uploading malicious software that would infect machines of computer users who trust that site because they have previously visited it without experiencing any problems.
They said developers of several popular tools, known as exploit kits, used by criminal hackers to attack PCs, have added software that allows hackers to exploit the newly discovered bug in Java.
Security experts have been scrutinising the safety of Java since a similar security scare in August, which prompted some of them to advise using the software only on an as-needed basis.
At the time, they advised businesses to allow their workers to use Java browser plug-ins only when prompted for permission by trusted programs such as GoToMeeting, a web-based collaboration tool from Citrix Systems.
Java suffered another setback in October when Apple began removing old versions of the software from internet browsers of Mac computers after its customers installed new versions of its OS X operating system. Apple did not provide a reason for the change and both companies declined to comment at the time.
