There's No Missing This Viper Red '55 F-100
If anybody deserves cool toys, Brandon Archer does. As an active-duty Army pilot flying aeromedical evacuation, Brandon spends a lot of time far from his home in Killeen, Texas, and far from fun. And after flying UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, it probably takes an out-of-the-ordinary car or truck to keep him excited.
After his last deployment to Iraq, Brandon had banked enough money to buy a real nice ride: an all-original, one-owner, low-mile '66 Mustang convertible. Driving the Mustang ignited his interest in owning something else—another high-performance Ford, but a truck this time. Something custom, combining classic and contemporary components. Something with all the modern amenities, enough style to make a statement when he takes it to a show, and enough power to make him smile when he drives it on the street.
He's always been a fan of F-100s, so the search started there, and ended when he found the perfect '55 for his project—a cab on the stock chassis with the potential to become what Brandon wanted. It turned out to be an ambitious build, but with help from Terry Price, Brandon had his F-100 done in four years. Its public debut was at the 2012 Goodguys Spring Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth.
When the project started, the body and bed were pulled off the frame to perform the sheetmetal work that was required to make the F-100 this straight. The '55 F-100 body doesn't call for a lot of improvements (if any) and Brandon kept the lines factory, making changes by losing the front and rear bumpers, replacing seals, and perfecting seams. He kept the hood emblems in place, and cleaned up the profile by shaving the door handles and replacing the vent windows with one-piece glass. Tri-bar headlights light the way at night.
The bed was transformed with a smoothed tailgate, built by Brandon. The license plate and taillights were frenched into the rollpan, which is another owner-fabricated piece. The taillights are two-of-a-kind prototypes he got from Mid Fifty F-100 Parts in Golden Valley, Arizona. The wheel tubs extend far into the bed, where aluminum diamond plate covers the floor.
The right paint color was never in doubt. Brandon has developed a preference for red, partly because of the fire trucks he remembers from his father's career as a fireman, and partly from the color of the crosses painted on the Black Hawk he flies. Viper Red is about the brightest there is, and Homer Plentl of Belton, Texas, made sure the '55 was completely covered, spraying DuPont ChromaBase paint.
The interior modifications update the F-100 by about five decades. The work was handled at Ick's Upholstery in Killeen. It took a lot of leather to wrap those Lexus power seats. The center panels of the high-back buckets and doors were inlayed with seamed ostrich leather, also used to cover the entire headliner. Ick's used the same color for both types of leather to keep it low-key, then went high-impact with plenty of bright red piping.
A custom-built center console separates the seats and houses the cup holders, Lokar shifter, controls for the Vintage Air A/C, and the Pioneer stereo unit and Polk speakers. The custom armrest features more leather and ostrich upholstery. The factory dash was completely smoothed and painted; headlight and wiper knobs were relocated to the column drop. The worn-out gauges were replaced with Classic Instruments gauges in a custom panel. A leather-wrapped steering wheel from Hot Rods by Boyd is mounted on a Flaming River tilt column.
A look under the hood will convince you that all that style is backed up by some muscle. And Ford fans will be happy to see something familiar for a change. The firewall was modified to fit a '68 Ford HO 347 (a stroked 302), built by Terry Price. Wiseco 10.5:1 pistons and rings fill the cylinders, with Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads topped with Ford Racing valve covers. A KMJ shotgun scoop feeds fresh air to a Summit Racing 750-cfm double pumper carburetor and Edelbrock Air-Gap intake. A pair of custom-built Tri-Y headers draw the exhaust. Backing up the 425hp engine is a Ford C4 transmission with a B&M Holeshot converter and a trans cooler from Performance Rod & Custom.
Further back, the Ford 8.8-inch rearend is equipped with 3.73 gears and a Posi. Rear suspension consists of factory leafs and RideTech shocks. The Mustang II frontend includes 2-inch drop spindles, crossmember, and springs, plus RideTech shocks and a sway bar. A Flaming River rack-and-pinion replaces the stock steering. The original unmodified frame has been powdercoated by Price.
The pickup keeps its grip on the road with some meaty 295/40R20 and 225/55R17 Toyo Proxes tires. The radials are mounted on 20×10 and 17×8.5 Boyd Coddington five-spoke wheels. Mustang II disc brakes at the front and drums in the rear bring things to a halt without a problem.
Brandon will miss his screaming red F-100 when he is deployed overseas again in 2013, so while he's home he's enjoying the truck as much as possible. He drives it to work about once a week, and he and his wife Jean cruise it on the weekend. When a local show comes around, the '55 F-100 is usually in attendance, where it's impossible to miss.

Triage is a turn based, strategic, fully cooperative multi-player game. The game will automatically adjust the difficulty to accommodate up to four simultaneous players, but you can also play it entirely by yourself. Your task is to triage the Niola cluster that has suffered a violent outbreak of an unknown pathogen. While already cordoned off to prevent travel outside of it, and thus spreading the disease further, you may have to take drastic steps to cleanse the cluster entirely. The objective of the game is to cleanse all four star clusters from diseases. You constantly have to balance your two most important assets, namely resources/credits and population. Are you willing to sacrifice the population of an entire planet in order to get the credits you need to make it through another turn? Don't worry, the game won't rush you, take as much time as you need to contemplate each turn but for every action there's inevitably a reaction.

WikiLeaks begins disclosing intelligence firm's e-mails
- WikiLeaks begins releasing what it says is a cache of documents from Stratfor
- The private intelligence company has been targeted by hackers in recent months
- The authenticity of the documents could not be immediately confirmed
(CNN) — The website WikiLeaks has begun releasing what it says are 5 million e-mails from the private intelligence company Stratfor, starting with a company "glossary" that features unflattering descriptions of U.S. government agencies.
In a statement released early Monday in Europe (Sunday evening ET), the website promises a raft of juicy disclosures about Stratfor, a Texas-based firm that promotes itself to corporate and government clients as a source of intelligence on international affairs. The company has been targeted by hackers who have released private data about subscribers in recent months, prompting the company to offer its clients a year of paid identity-protection coverage.
There was no immediate comment on the disclosures from Stratfor, and the authenticity of the documents could not be independently confirmed Sunday night.
WikiLeaks, a website that facilitates the leaking of confidential information, says the documents will be released through a network of more than 25 news outlets and activist groups in the coming weeks. The first document out was titled "The Stratfor Glossary of Useful, Baffling and Strange Intelligence Terms," featuring brief and sometimes humorous definitions and blunt assessments of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement.
Others focused on speculation about the health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and who was behind a suspected campaign of sabotage against Iran's nuclear program.
WikiLeaks has previously published hundreds of thousands of U.S. military and State Department documents, including field reports from the Iraq and Afghanistan and embassy cables that feature the candid assessments of U.S. diplomats. A U.S. soldier, Pfc. Bradley Manning, faces a court-martial on charges that he leaked the documents to the website.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, meanwhile, is in Britain battling an extradition request from prosecutors in Sweden who want to question him about unrelated accusations of sexual assault. Assange has not been charged with a crime and denies wrongdoing.

Stockton, CA
Alan Eugene "Sandy" Smith
Oct. 26, 1934 - Sept. 19, 2013
Alan Eugene "Sandy" Smith died on September 19, 2013 due to complications from childhood polio. He was the loving husband of Isolee Smith, father of Kevin and Brian Smith (Susan) and stepfather of Daniel Hill (Vianna), grandfather of Kelly Talaske, Marissa and Dylan Hill. Sandy was a fourth-generation Stocktonian from the pioneer families of Charles Grunsky, James Gillis, and Charles Smith. He was the only child of Albert and Jessie Grunsky Smith. Sandy was born and lived his entire life on the Gillis estate. Although Sandy did not have siblings, he had cousins with whom he enjoyed a close relationship: Kurt Smith, Jerry Robinson, Michael Robinson, Bonnie McCreary, Tim Grunsky, and Dale Drury.
Sandy attended local elementary schools, graduated from Stockton High, and junior college. He then graduated from the University of California - Berkeley with a bachelor's degree, which led him to Boalt Hall law school. After passing the bar, he returned to Stockton and took a position with the District Attorney's office for three years. Realizing how much he enjoyed trial work, he then joined the law firm which would eventually become Mayall, Hurley, Knutsen, Smith & Green, where he remained until his retirement.
After his retirement, he became an Ombudsman for eleven years, primarily representing residents in nursing facilities, but also mediating problems between the facilities, residents, and families. At the age of nine, Sandy contracted polio, thus leaving him compromised physically. Despite his limitations, he loved swimming, tennis, hiking, and backpacking. Sandy was a member of Odd Fellows and Stockton Sunrise Rotary. For 23 years he and his wife Isolee hosted on their property, which became known as Gillis Grove Birds, wine tastings on behalf of Sunrise Rotary. Sandy and Isolee shared together a passion for the raising and breeding of many species of exotic birds. The beauty of the grounds in an original oak grove and the birds made the wine tastings very successful, thus benefiting the Rotary Club in raising funds to contribute to the worldwide eradication of polio. Sandy was especially interested in local history and the history of his family and their contributions to the local community. He was generous with his knowledge of our family, thus passing on from generation to generation this heritage. We will miss his wit, warmth, and presence.
Per Sandy's request, there will be no services. Contributions in Sandy's name can be made to any program through the San Joaquin County Historical Society, P.O. Box 30, Lodi, CA 95241.

No I didn't expect to get in. I thought I had a chance at getting in. Even if I didn't get in I thought they would be able to let me know in less than 5 months. I called again today and found out that my decision will be mailed tomorrow. Almost exactly 5 months after I went complete.
And last year of people with a 165-169 and GPA of 3.5-3.74 Vandy accepted 177 people out of 193 applicants. So yeah, call me an idiot for thinking I had a chance.

text: Dear List-members, With the nihil obstat from the list managers (plus a considerable help with the syntax from Edward Hobbs) I am very pleased to announce the recent appearance of a new, but soon indispensable, tool in the field of Greek Lexicography, the "Repertorio Bibliografico de la Lexicografia Griega" ("A Bibliographic Repertorium of Greek Lexicography" [*RBGL*]). This book contains: right,left,outa) An Inventory of Indexes, Lexica and Concordances of Greek authors. This is a considerable update of H. and B. Risenfeld "Repertorium Lexicographicum Graecum" (Stockholm, 1954). b) A Bibliography of works and general studies on Greek Lexicography, with more than 3,300 works cited. c) A Bibliography of Greek Lexicography, ordered by the Greek lemmatized words. It contains more than 34,000 lemmata, giving references to around 6,900 philological studies. d) A short index of some of the lexicographical studies included in section (b) ordered by semantic domains. The book covers alphabetic Greek to the end of the VI century A.D. and it is based on the extensive scrutiny of hundreds of journals, specialised works, lexica and other bibliographic inventories done by the authors with the help of 3 collaborators. This work makes the third volume of the series "Anejos del Diccionario Griego-Espan~ol", and it is closely related with the work of the *DGE* team. Although not only oriented to B-Greek, the book does contain a wealth of information of interest for B-Greekers. As an example, there are 9 bibliographic references under the lemma PROSKUNEW; 26 under PISTIS; 6 under TAMIEION; 7 under HOMOLOGIA and nothing less than 84 under LOGOS (it happens to be the most cited Greek word) to quote only some of the words under discussion in the List during the last weeks.

Community Forum
The Community Forum (CF) historically convened by the Coalition of Asia Pacific Regional Networks on AIDS (7S) as part of the pre-ICAAP program will take place 7-9 August 2009 during the 9th ICAAP at Bali International Convention Center (BICC) in Nusa Dua, Bali.
Expanded for the first time to three days instead of one, the CF will be the culmination of numerous in-country as well as international consultation and preparation processes. The CF will consist of seven individual day-long forums designed to reflect the main concerns of the community and organized by a respective Sub-Committee of the 9th ICAAP's Local Organizing Committee (LOC) along with an International counterpart.
About 600 Civil Society (CS) representatives from the AP region along with some pre-identified experts, donors, other stakeholders, and human rights activists are expected to participate. The sessions will include plenary presentations and discussions, as well as breakouts and other activities deemed appropriate by the respective organizers. The CF will end on 9 August when all the groups come together to share the outcomes of their respective forums.
Participation in the Community Forum Plenary is free for registered congress delegates. Selected number non-congress delegates may attend the forum by invitations only.
For inquiry about Community Forum, you may email to: email@example.com
Please confirm your participation here!
Towards A More Effective Response
In an effort to ensure cohesion of the various forums the LOC, International Advisory Committee (IAC) and community co-chair The Coalition (7S) has agreed that the 9th ICAAP CF will be focused on the recommendations from the Commission on AIDS in Asia (CAA) report (March 2008), where communities using the CAA's report as a programmatic framework can develop strategies and key messages on how best to support the community sector's role in the AIDS response and agreements on specific actions to lead the way forward with steps and priorities from the KAP perspective to implement the CAA recommendations and develop key advocacy messages and strategies that would then run as an overarching theme through the various streams of the ICAAP.
The inputs from Civil Society to the CAA's report was completed at the 8th ICAAP in Sri Lanka, when Health & Development Networks (HDN) conducted qualitative interviews with almost 100 key informants, after an initial online consultation where over 600 civil society representatives participated. This focus would help sustain the momentum of the CAA, provide a level of continuity to the previous ICAAP and move these KAPS and CF participants Towards a More Effective Response to HIV/AIDS. .
The CF will bring together key populations currently identified and including but not limited to the following Key Affected Populations (KAPS): PLHIV, Sex Workers; gay men, transgender, and other Men who have Sex with Men; people who use drugs; women; youth; indigenous peoples; as well as Inter-faith, Migrant and Mobile Populations. These key recommendations from the KAPS led discussions will form an integral part The Coalition (7S) programming and advocacy efforts for the next year and serve as a platform that all Regional and National Networks can use to coordinate action and maximize resources.
About Community Forum
The Community Forum was borne at the third ICAAP in Chiang Mai (1995). Subsequent ICAAPs have seen the Community Forum meeting strengthened and finally managed by the Coalition of Asia Pacific Regional Networks, also known as the 7 Sisters Coalition at the Melbourne (2001), Kobe (2005) and Colombo (2007) congresses. On each occasion local communities have worked with the 7 Sisters to ensure local people have access to the discussions as well as those from across the region.
The objectives of the Community Forum are to bring communities together as well as to identify and exchange views on key and emerging issues of concern. More specifically it aims to strengthen networks among members of civil society organisations and community groups, to share knowledge, experiences and skills among delegates from same or different groups in the community and discuss better ways for programs in the future, to ensure that people's voices, needs and issues are being heard in the Congress and be followed up after the Congress, to provide comprehensive recommendation for NGOs, governmental organisations and United Nations agencies to achieve better partnership and better responses, provide opportunities for communities members to review and renew their commitments, to learn and be empowered either through skills building trainings or from each other's diversity and similarity, and to ensure good link between issues being discussed in the Scientific Programs and the Community Forum programs.
Due to the further complexity of HIV and AIDS issues and the alarming accelerated numbers of new HIV cases in Asia and the Pacific, besides the PLHIV and Youth groups, other community groups not formally attached to the Congress (i.e. Interfaith) had a pre-congress meeting in the 8th ICAAP. Other groups (LGBTIQ & sex workers and IDUs) also gathered at the Community Forum meeting to ensure common understanding and prepare community statements that would be voiced at the opening ceremony.
In this 9th ICAAP, there will be more community forums prior to the Congress, namely PLHIV, Youth, IDUs, Interfaith, Women, LGBTIQ, Sex Workers, and possibly others, as needed. Some forums may vary in length of days and number of sessions. Communities will then all gather together on 9th August 2009 morning to consolidate results of their meetings and prepare a Community Statement to be announced at the opening ceremony on the same day.

She notes that only eight of the 100 top-grossing movies of last year were made by women. "By the way, who was called the father of film?" she asks. "D.W. Griffith. He made his first film in 1908. But a secretary named Alice Guy in 1896 started making films because she worked for Gaumont studios. She made the first film, and she's not given credit."
Although many women in Hollywood have horrifying stories of sexual harassment, Streisand isn't one of them. "I wasn't blond enough," she says. She recalls a strange experience she had as a 16-year-old Brooklyn teenager. "I went to a guy's apartment once from the Art Students League. He wanted to paint me. He said, 'The next time you come here, maybe I could paint you with your top off.' I said, 'Huh?'"
She didn't know about Weinstein's predatory behavior, although she had a bad experience with him. "I thought he was vulgar," she says. They had a dispute involving the opening night of his Broadway musical "Finding Neverland." "He wanted me to come there on his arm and sing a song on the album," Streisand says. "I said, 'No. I can't do that.'" After she turned him down, he threatened not to work with her on future movies and said he wouldn't be sending her any of his releases to screen at her home. "That kind of stupidity. So I thought he was a boorish guy."
"Years ago, I was told, 'you want control? a woman wants control? That's crazy!"
TUBULAR SHADOW Trainers onix/clear grey/footwear white Clearance Perfect piP43HI6lX
Speaking of which, Streisand has strong feelings about the president. "Everything he called Hillary, he is," she says. The star was with presidential candidate Clinton in 2016 at the fundraiser where she slipped up and called some of Trump's supporters "a basket of deplorables." Streisand was playing doctor that day. "She was sick," Streisand remembers. "I was giving her tea. I was like, 'Here, these are good lozenges, and you're coughing and you got to keep drinking liquids.' I didn't know she had pneumonia."
Streisand has since had other conversations with the first female presidential candidate. "I said to her the last time I saw her, 'You were just too smart.'" In fact, she's not convinced that Trump beat Clinton. "I really believe she won the election," Streisand says. "I've talked to senators from Michigan and Wisconsin. I do believe, like I believed during Bush, they were playing with those voter machines. And [Al Gore] lost by 537 votes out of 104 million. And now, in retrospect, Bush looks quite good compared to Trump. At least he's not mean-spirited. He's not a guy who is retaliating for what Obama did at the White House Correspondents' Dinner."
Streisand, on some level, feels that Trump shares the blame for the recent Florida high school shooting, which claimed the lives of 17 students and teachers. "I think even that shooter was affected because Trump brings out the violence in people. He says, 'It's OK — rally, lock her up.'"
I ran into one near the end of the Catacombs, right after the Prowling Demon. At that point, though, I had no idea what it was. And I think somewhere else, too. I don't remember much about the encounters. If I knew what it was, I would have paid more attention.
I have it, but neither have I yet received my USB-360 controller wireless dongle, I also am not sure yet I am ready to play this… all evidence seems to imply that once you start, you best not stop for a while or at least don't take long breaks.
Dark Souls is utterly awesome, but I agree with the poster who mentioned that one must be 100% into the game. If you're not with it, you just start dying pointlessly, and everything becomes a miserable slog.
You've got to feel CHALLENGED by deaths, not demoralized. Otherwise the game is just soul-killing.
I'm letting it sit for a bit. My wizard dude just got to the Capra Demon, and I got killed in 5 seconds without being able to move. I don't feel like trying again for a while.
He did that to me too. I didn't exactly 'beat' him I don't think- I tried running up the stairs behind him and standing on the ledge, and his pathfinding went all glitchy- I was able to just hurl firebombs until he died.
I've done that quite a lot, actually. I've also done a lot of running away from big things to find the point where they stop following me, and then attacking them from there. I'm clearly a massive coward and a noob, but I'm a living coward.
Isn't that what the game is supposed to teach tho? That blocking a half-ton warhammer with a shield is ridiculous and that in order to survive you have to take every advantage you can possibly get? I've never understood the outrage at camping or kiting or any of those so called "noob-tactics". It's just playing with your brain on. Let the awesome folk run headlong into the fire and die in a blaze of glory. I am hiding in this bush, firing the occasional shot and surviving. The ultimate test for this? Play ArmA… if a popular shooter tactic doesn't work in ArmA, it probably doesn't work in real life.
@Effigy_Power:disqusI mostly agree with you, it just feels a little cheap when I'm exploiting a glitch rather than genuinely outwitting something. It's the difference between Doctor Who defeating the Daleks by walking upstairs and Doctor Who defeating the Daleks by getting the director to call a fifteen minute break and then setting fire to the costumes when everyone is outside smoking. But I'm totally with you on the times when it's just plain cheap, but within the rules of the world.If something is stronger than you, and you need to compete with it, do not take up it's offer of an arm wrestling competition.There's a wonderful article over at the New Yorker on this topic:http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/11/090511fa_fact_gladwell

The Hope Summer Repertory Theatre announces its 37th season, and will once again bring unforgettable musicals, drama, and comedy to the Holland community. The season will open June 13th and will run until August 9th at three different venues, including the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland for the second year in a row.
The season opens on June 13th with Tony Award winning musical "Kiss Me Kate" by Cole Porter in the DeWitt Theatre. This musical follows two actors through a tangled web of love while they are amidst a performance of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Things get even more complicated when two singing gangsters show up and stir things up a bit. The show includes classics such as "Wunderbar" and "So in Love." The New York Times called the 1999 revival of the show "...one long ear to ear grin." Additional performances at 8 p.m. are on June 14, 19, 25, 27, July 2, 8, 10, 15, 17, 23, 28, and August 1, 9.
"Forever Plaid" is a hilariously funny musical that features four young men who are killed in a car crash on their way to their first-ever performance, but phenomenally revived to have a second chance at their dream. These four guys have fun joking with each other while perfectly performing hits from the 1950's. Their song list for the night includes "Catch a Falling Star," "Heart and Soul," "Sixteen Tons," "Three Coins in the Fountain" a special tribute to the Ed Sullivan Show. Performances run June 20, 21, 24, 26, 28, July 1, 21, 30, and August 4 at 8 p.m.
"The Foreigner," a comic classic that HSRT performed 21 years ago, revolves around two men, Froggy and Charlie, who are guests at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia. Charlie's extreme shyness overcomes him around these strangers, and he remains mute for most of the trip, allowing people to think that he is indeed a foreigner that cannot understand English. Before long, Charlie finds himself learning a lot more than he expected about the people around him with the most comic of melodramatic resolutions. "The Foreigner" runs July 11, 12, 16, 22, 25, 29, and August 2, 6, 8 at 8 p.m.
Winner of a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, "Doubt" is a thriller that is sure to make you think. 'Time Out Chicago' calls it "An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written." The story takes place in the Bronx in 1964 and follows the lives of a very conservative nun and a more laid back priest who have very different ideas about how their school should be run. Conflict arises when Sister Aloysius questions the way that Father Flynn treats one of the students. Performances are at 8 p.m. on July 18, 19, 24, 26, 31, and August 5, 7.
"Closer Than Ever" is HSRT's cabaret featured at the Holland restaurant Till Midnight. This show stopper brings to light sensitive issues such as love, security, aging, second marriages, unrequited love, and mid-life crisis, things that real people can relate to. Performances begin and 8:30 p.m. July 5, 9, 16, 22, 24, 29, 31.
Tickets go on sale on Monday, May 19 through the DeVos Fieldhouse ticket office. The DeWitt Theatre Ticket Office opens May 27. Prices range from $8-$26 for musicals, and $8-$18 for plays. Season tickets, ranging from $45-$85, are also available.

KSL coverage: 'Coming to our Census'
Copyright 2012, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Utahns like the idea of a more diverse state. They're just not sure what that will mean, and in some cases, they're drawing from incorrect perceptions.
About one-fifth of the 2.8 million people in the Beehive State are ethnic minorities, many of them young, working-age adults and children, according to the latest Census figures. If current trends continue, Utah will join the rest of the nation as a place where minorities become the majority in many cities and counties.
To help gauge attitudes about these changes, KSL and the Deseret News commissioned a public opinion poll of 411 Utahns. The poll results reflect a Utah that is generally receptive to the changing landscape.
Seventy-seven percent of Utahns polled by Dan Jones & Associates said they consider the state's increasing diversity as a good thing, with 38 percent describing the change as "a very good thing."
The Most Rev. John C. Wester, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, who moved to mostly white Utah from a diverse San Francisco in 2007, said he is "encouraged by the people who say, in general, that diversity is a good thing."
That's true in general but is especially welcome news to Catholics, he said.
"St. Paul's Church calls the body of Christ many members and one head. If you don't have all the members, your community is less able to reflect the presence of God," he said.
Two-thirds of Utahns polled said they grew up in environments that welcomed or encouraged racial diversity.
"I think there is more tolerance, more appreciation of the strength diversity gives us. I think we're moving in the right direction but I think at times, we're stumbling there," said Salt Lake immigration attorney Mark Alvarez.
The poll, conducted May 15-20, revealed a disconnect in some cases between Utahns' perceptions about illegal immigration and actual data.
For instance, the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States has fallen from its peak in 2007, and it has leveled off the past two years, according to U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimates.
Even so, the poll found that 74 percent of Utahns consider illegal immigration in Utah a serious problem.
Experts said immigration has slowed to a trickle in the past two years as the recession has worsened and the federal government has enhanced border patrols. Deportations of unauthorized Mexican immigrants across the nation have risen to record levels — 280,000 in 2010 alone, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
The majority of both legal and illegal immigrants in Utah come from Latin America, most from Mexico. Immigration advocates say there are 110,000 undocumented people in Utah.
"There's no inundation happening at all," said University of Idaho researcher Priscilla Salant, who studies population trends in the Mountain West.
The poll also revealed concerns that a more diverse Utah could result in higher crime rates. Forty-four percent of people polled said a more diverse Utah would have a "somewhat negative" or "very negative" impact on criminal activity in the state.
Salt Lake Police Chief Chris Burbank said crime statistics tell a different story.
"The fact is that we have more minorities living in Salt Lake City than we have in the past and crime has fallen dramatically. So I don't see how there's a correlation there," Burbank said.
In 2011, Salt Lake City experienced a 26-year low in Part 1 Crime. Part 1 crimes include homicide, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny (and motor vehicle theft) and arson.
"So for more than my entire career, crime has never been lower. It's a nice downward trend," Burbank said.
Overall crime in Utah shows decreases in violent crime, property crimes and the number of arrests, according to the state Bureau of Criminal Identification's 2011 Crime in Utah report. This is consistent with national crime statistics that reflect a drop in violent crime for the past four years.
Another "downside" of diversity raised by people who responded to the poll was the increased costs to education.
For decades, students of color in Utah have lagged behind their white peers on standardized achievement tests and high school graduation rates. As schools become more diverse and more populated, addressing these issues takes on greater significance, education leaders said.
Some 59 percent of Utahns polled said they strongly favor or somewhat favor committing more resources in an effort to close the achievement gap in Utah.
Brenda Hales, associate state superintendent for instructional services, said the sentiment is encouraging because one of her greatest concerns is that resources won't keep pace with the needs of a larger and more diverse public school population.
"This is not a burden and expense. It's an investment in our future," Hales said.
Another "downside" raised by poll respondents was the increased public assistance and public health programs. In this case, perception matches reality.
Illegal immigrants are not eligible for public assistance or public health programs, with a few exceptions such as emergency care, state officials said. Because many immigrant families are of mixed immigration status, children who were born in the United States and are citizens could qualify for some public programs.
The University of Idaho's Salant was among a team of researchers who studied the impacts of southern Idaho's rapidly growing dairy industry. Dairy workers tend to be young men, Hispanic and foreign-born.
There were no impacts on crime. But the researchers said there were higher rates of childhood poverty and greater reliance on reduced-price school lunch programs.
The Idaho researchers, whose work included a telephone survey of more than 1,300 people and interviews of health care professionals, concluded that "community services like health care are not overwhelmed by the Hispanic population."
That finding was consistent with national research that documented that Hispanics receive health care at less than half the rate of non-Hispanics, the Idaho study authors wrote.
Absent access to traditional care, many people without insurance seek assistance from safety net programs such as community health centers. Others end up in the emergency room, the costliest health care alternative.
"We serve a representative cross-section of the working poor who don't have health insurance and can't afford out-of-pocket health care. A large segment of the working poor happen to be undocumented," said Dexter Pearce, executive director of Community Health Care Centers Inc. Patients at the clinic pay for services on a sliding scale.
"We are not a free clinic," Pearce said.
A number of people who responded to the Dan Jones & Associates poll indicated that a more diverse Utah had a number of benefits such as understanding other people and cultures. Several polled mentioned a wider array of cuisine.
"It brings different neighbors and I like all kinds of different neighbors," one respondent told pollsters. "If you get to know them, it really makes a difference, gives you a new way of thinking, a new paradigm. I went on a (church) mission to Spain and when I came back, I started working at the driver license office. I spoke Spanish with the Mexicans. They have really close-knit families."
Others remain unconvinced that there is an upside to the shift away from a very homogenous, English-speaking and mostly white majority.
"Well to be honest, it really bothers me when I pick up something at the store and it's in a different language. Because I feel like when we're here in the United States I feel like things should be in English," a poll respondent said.
Former state lawmaker Brian Allen, who grew up in a predominately white, working-class Millcreek neighborhood in the '60s and '70s, said the poll results reflect "a Utah that was homogenous for a very long time."
"I would like to believe and hope Utah is a little better at accepting different people. I don't know if that's true of all but in my experience we're getting better," he said.
Alvarez said he believes there will be more tolerance and acceptance over time and as Utahns become better educated about its changing demographics.
"I think a lot of it has a lot to do with a lack of information," Alvarez said.

Our History
500X Gallery is one of Texas' oldest, artist run, cooperative gallerys.
Established in 1978, 500X provides one of the best exhibition spaces to up and coming artists in the city of Dallas. The gallery is located in a historic circa 1916 tire factory and air-conditioning warehouse and has over 3000 square feet of exhibition space. The plan for 500X Gallery was developed by two artists: Will Hipps, a Massachusetts native who moved to Dallas to teach, and Richard Childers, a local painter. The goal was to provide a space for artists to exhibit free of outside influences and dealer restrictions.Over the years, the plan has succeeded by giving artists the opportunity to show their work to the public in a professional venue. For many alumni, 500X has served as an entry point into the art world and have subsequently become prominent artists in the Metroplex and elsewhere including Vincent Falsetta, Otis Jones, Nic Nicosia, Frances Bagley, Tom Orr, Frank X. Tolbert, Randall Garrett and Paul Booker to name a few. 500X Gallery exhibits work by the current board members as well as by guest artists who are featured monthly in our upstairs gallery. This allows 500X to continue to foster and introduce other artists from Texas as well as national and international artists to the Dallas/ Fort Worth art scene.
Annually, we exhibit a juried show titled "Expo" which is a contemporary survey of work chosen by a guest curator from the local arts community. In the spirit of our mission statement, we also feature an unjuried "Open Show" for any artist wishing to exhibit their work for a small fee. In 2018, we will celebrate 40 years of providing an alternative space to the Dallas arts community. We are grateful to the community and to all of the individuals therein for 40 years of care, energy and continued support!

The Cannings & Redhorn Team was formed in June 2012 from the former Cannings Benefice and Redhorn Team, and now comprises the parishes of All Cannings, Bishop's Cannings with Etchilhampton, Chirton with Patney, Marden, Urchfont with Stert, and Wilsford, which also include the hamlets of Allington, Bourton, Coate, Conock, Horton and Wedhampton, together with Cannings Hill a fast-developing area adjacent to Devizes.
Our parishes are all situated in the Vale of Pewsey, bordered by the Marlborough Downs to the north and Salisbury Plain to the south. The Vale is an area of outstanding natural beauty mainly given to open farmland and unspoilt chalk downland which is rich in wildlife, history and archaeology. Our villages and hamlets lie to the east of the attractive market town of Devizes and around 25 miles by road from Salisbury. The ancient monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury are no more than 15 miles distant. The Kennet and Avon Canal (completed nearly two hundred years ago) meanders through the middle of the Vale.
Our eight churches are served by a Team Rector and a number of other clergy and licensed laity (see Ministry Team), together with the Churchwardens and Parochial Church Councils (see Team Churches).
There are four church schools in the Team (see Schools), all of which take children from 4 to 11 years old. All the schools have close ties with their respective local church, with the churches providing governors, venues for services, and personnel (both lay and ordained) for assemblies.
Please see the special message in "This month" from The Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, The Bishop of Salisbury regarding Safeguarding.

1. It might be helpful to remember that every news organization has a so-called stylebook. In it, there are rules for capitalization, etc.,
that reporters are expected to follow. Stylebooks often differ in what is correct.
2. When I was young, all newspapers would print something like:
"Everybody is excited because the President is arriving next week for a visit."
The reasoning, I believe, was that the word "President" was a substitute for, say, "George Washington." (Just as we write:
"I saw Mother at the store this morning." "Mother" is a subsitute for, say, "Marion.")
But as the years have passed, 99.99% of American newspapers started to use the lower case in that sentence of mine.
The reasoning? I do not know, but maybe some people felt that capitalizing the word "president" would make him (or her!)
too elevated. (For example, I think that the Brits refer to "the Queen.")
3. I think that the "rule" that is generally followed by American newspapers is:
a. Capitalize the word only if it is used like this:
I saw President Washington yesterday.
President Washington will stay in Philadelphia, for the new capital of Washington, D.C. is not ready for occupancy.
b. Do not capitalize if used like:
The American president George Washington has sent a letter to our friend France.
i. I think that this "rule" also applies to "mayor" and other titles:
a. I am so excited. I spoke with Mayor John Doe yesterday.
b. Los Angeles mayor John Doe will open a new school tomorrow.
(i) Please remember that expressions such as "Los Angeles mayor John Doe" may have been "invented" by American
newsmagazines such as Time. It is a shorter and snappier way of saying (correctly):
John Doe, the mayor of Los Angeles, will open a new school.
You deserve a pat on the back for your precious help and insightful replies. To be honest, I am tired & sick of English because sometimes I come across a new invented word.Have a look at the underlined word pleas.
"At the same time, the policies and politics of British Prime Minister David Cameron and his Tory Party all militate toward a Brixit (British exit from the EU)."

In the world of pop culture, it began with the creation of names for celebrity couples. So when Ben Affleck dated Jennifer Lopez they became know as "Bennifer."
In the world of politics, a new phrase or even an old forgotten term can suddenly become the word on everyone's lips. A "surge" in Iraq or a "sequestration" of budget funds.
Please do not feel that way.
SoothingDave has given you some excellent advice.
I am 75 years old, and I am still learning new things about English every day, especially at this website.
This very day, while reading the comics in my local newspaper, I learned a new word: innit.
For example: English is a difficult language, innit?
I discovered that it is British slang for isn't it?
(I am guessing that the Queen does not use that expression. Of course, I shall never know because they would never allow me to enter Buckingham Palace!)

History of UAlbany Libraries
At the University at Albany, library resources and philanthropy have been linked since shortly after the founding of the State Normal School at Albany - the University's "ancestor" - in December 1844. Two months after the School opened, its first library opened in one room of a former train depot on State Street and the School received its first private donation, a bequest of $300 to purchase library books.
Mary Elizabeth Cobb
When the Normal School became a four-year liberal arts college for teachers in 1906, administrators realized the importance of establishing a more comprehensive library facility. Under the leadership of Mary Cobb (1916-56), the New York State Normal College's first professionally trained librarian, the library's collection grew from fewer than 4,000 to more than 53,000 volumes and moved, in 1933, from a single room in Draper Hall (on what is now the University's downtown campus) to the first floor of Hawley Hall next door. The basement of Hawley became the College Commons, a gathering place for students until early 1951 when it was converted into additional library space.

Dewey Graduate Library
In 1962, when the College became one of the four State University of New York University Centers, Albany's Libraries embarked on two decades of rapid growth. As a result of the change from a liberal arts college to university, faculty, student population and library collections increased rapidly, necessitating an expanded facility to house the University. In 1966, during the construction of the Edward Durell Stone designed uptown campus, the Hawley Library was closed and the collections were moved to the University Library on the academic podium of the Uptown Campus. The University Library was dedicated two years later in November 1968. Hawley Hall was rededicated as a library in 1979, when it became the library for Rockefeller College and the graduate schools relocated to the downtown campus.
Joseph Z. Nitecki,
Albany's University Libraries celebrated the acquisition of their one millionth volume in 1982, marking a new milestone in their development. In 1988, the downtown campus library was renamed the Governor Thomas E. Dewey Graduate Library for Public Affairs and Policy. Following more than four decades of steady growth and development, the University Library outgrew its allocated space and the campus began planning a new facility in the early 1990s. In September 1999, the Science Library was opened on the uptown campus to house the Science Library, the M. E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives and the Library Preservation Laboratory. The building also houses International Programs and the New York State Writers Institute.

Two Millionth Volume
Another milestone was reached on April 5, 2001 when Albany's Libraries celebrated the acquisition of their two millionth volume. The Libraries' collections are impressive, with particular strengths in psychology, education, biological sciences, criminal justice, business, anthropology (Meso-America), social welfare and library and information science. The M. E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives is located in the Science Library and is a repository for over 12,000 cubic feet of manuscript and archive collections, and over 75,000 rare and specialized book collections. Holdings include: the New York State Modern Political Archive; the National Death Penalty Archive; the Intellectual Émigré Collection; the Miriam Snow Mathes Historical Children's Literature Collection; over 5,000 rare books from 1509- 1850; and the University Archives, containing the official records of the University at Albany and its predecessor institutions from its origins in 1844 to the present.
Two Millionth Volume Celebration
As a member of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), Albany's Libraries rank among the largest and most comprehensive research libraries in North America. A group of talented and dedicated librarians and staff provide reference assistance, consultation, instruction and other services to further teaching, learning and scholarship.

Christopher Marlowe, (baptized Feb. 26, 1564, Canterbury, Kent, Eng.—died May 30, 1593, Deptford, near London), Elizabethan poet and Shakespeare's most important predecessor in English drama, who is noted especially for his establishment of dramatic blank verse.
Early years
Marlowe was the second child and eldest son of John Marlowe, a Canterbury shoemaker. Nothing is known of his first schooling, but on Jan. 14, 1579, he entered the King's School, Canterbury, as a scholar. A year later he went to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Obtaining his bachelor of arts degree in 1584, he continued in residence at Cambridge—which may imply that he was intending to take Anglican orders. In 1587, however, the university hesitated about granting him the master's degree; its doubts (arising from his frequent absences from the university) were apparently set at rest when the Privy Council sent a letter declaring that he had been employed "on matters touching the benefit of his country"—apparently in Elizabeth I's secret service.
Last years and literary career.
After 1587 Marlowe was in London, writing for the theatres, occasionally getting into trouble with the authorities because of his violent and disreputable behaviour, and probably also engaging himself from time to time in government service. Marlowe won a dangerous reputation for "atheism," but this could, in Elizabeth I's time, indicate merely unorthodox religious opinions. In Robert Greene's deathbed tract, Greenes groats-worth of witte, Marlowe is referred to as a "famous gracer of Tragedians" and is reproved for having said, like Greene himself, "There is no god" and for having studied "pestilent Machiuilian pollicie." There is further evidence of his unorthodoxy, notably in the denunciation of him written by the spy Richard Baines and in the letter of Thomas Kyd to the lord keeper in 1593 after Marlowe's death. Kyd alleged that certain papers "denying the deity of Jesus Christ" that were found in his room belonged to Marlowe, who had shared the room two years before. Both Baines and Kyd suggested on Marlowe's part atheism in the stricter sense and a persistent delight in blasphemy. Whatever the case may be, on May 18, 1593, the Privy Council issued an order for Marlowe's arrest; two days later the poet was ordered to give daily attendance on their lordships "until he shall be licensed to the contrary." On May 30, however, Marlowe was killed by Ingram Frizer, in the dubious company of Nicholas Skeres and Robert Poley, at a lodging house in Deptford, where they had spent most of the day and where, it was alleged, a fight broke out between them over the bill.
In a playwriting career that spanned little more than six years, Marlowe's achievements were diverse and splendid. Perhaps before leaving Cambridge he had already written Tamburlaine the Great (in two parts, both performed by the end of 1587; published 1590). Almost certainly during his later Cambridge years, Marlowe had translated Ovid's Amores (The Loves) and the first book of Lucan's Pharsalia from the Latin. About this time he also wrote the play Dido, Queen of Carthage (published in 1594 as the joint work of Marlowe and Thomas Nashe). With the production of Tamburlaine he received recognition and acclaim, and playwriting became his major concern in the few years that lay ahead. Both parts of Tamburlaine were published anonymously in 1590, and the publisher omitted certain passages that he found incongruous with the play's serious concern with history; even so, the extant Tamburlaine text can be regarded as substantially Marlowe's. No other of his plays or poems or translations was published during his life. His unfinished but splendid poem Hero and Leander—which is almost certainly the finest nondramatic Elizabethan poem apart from those produced by Edmund Spenser—appeared in 1598.
There is argument among scholars concerning the order in which the plays subsequent to Tamburlaine were written. It is not uncommonly held that Faustus quickly followed Tamburlaine and that then Marlowe turned to a more neutral, more "social" kind of writing in Edward II and The Massacre at Paris. His last play may have been The Jew of Malta, in which he signally broke new ground. It is known that Tamburlaine, Faustus, and The Jew of Malta were performed by the Admiral's Men, a company whose outstanding actor was Edward Alleyn, who most certainly played Tamburlaine, Faustus, and Barabas the Jew.
In the earliest of Marlowe's plays, the two-part Tamburlaine the Great (c. 1587; published 1590), Marlowe's characteristic "mighty line" (as Ben Jonson called it) established blank verse as the staple medium for later Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatic writing. It appears that originally Marlowe intended to write only the first part, concluding with Tamburlaine's marriage to Zenocrate and his making "truce with all the world." But the popularity of the first part encouraged Marlowe to continue the story to Tamburlaine's death. This gave him some difficulty, as he had almost exhausted his historical sources in part I; consequently the sequel has, at first glance, an appearance of padding. Yet the effort demanded in writing the continuation made the young playwright look more coldly and searchingly at the hero he had chosen, and thus part II makes explicit certain notions that were below the surface and insufficiently recognized by the dramatist in part I.
The play is based on the life and achievements of Timur (Timurlenk), the bloody 14th-century conqueror of Central Asia and India. Tamburlaine is a man avid for power and luxury and the possession of beauty: at the beginning of part I he is only an obscure Scythian shepherd, but he wins the crown of Persia by eloquence and bravery and a readiness to discard loyalty. He then conquers Bajazeth, emperor of Turkey, he puts the town of Damascus to the sword, and he conquers the sultan of Egypt; but, at the pleas of the sultan's daughter Zenocrate, the captive whom he loves, he spares him and makes truce. In part II Tamburlaine's conquests are further extended; whenever he fights a battle, he must win, even when his last illness is upon him. But Zenocrate dies, and their three sons provide a manifestly imperfect means for ensuring the preservation of his wide dominions; he kills Calyphas, one of these sons, when he refuses to follow his father into battle. Always, too, there are more battles to fight: when for a moment he has no immediate opponent on earth, he dreams of leading his army against the powers of heaven, though at other times he glories in seeing himself as "the scourge of God"; he burns the Qurʾān, for he will have no intermediary between God and himself, and there is a hint of doubt whether even God is to be granted recognition. Certainly Marlowe feels sympathy with his hero, giving him magnificent verse to speak, delighting in his dreams of power and of the possession of beauty, as seen in the following of Tamburlaine's lines:
Nature, that fram'd us of four elements
Warring within our breasts for regiment,
Doth teach us all to have aspiring minds:
Our souls, whose faculties can comprehend
The wondrous architecture of the world,
And measure every wandering planet's course,
Still climbing after knowledge infinite,
And always moving as the restless spheres,
Wills us to wear ourselves and never rest,
Until we reach the ripest fruit of all,
That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.
But, especially in part II, there are other strains: the hero can be absurd in his continual striving for more demonstrations of his power; his cruelty, which is extreme, becomes sickening; his human weakness is increasingly underlined, most notably in the onset of his fatal illness immediately after his arrogant burning of the Qurʾān. In this early play Marlowe already shows the ability to view a tragic hero from more than one angle, achieving a simultaneous vision of grandeur and impotence.
Marlowe's most famous play is The Tragicall History of Dr. Faustus; but it has survived only in a corrupt form, and its date of composition has been much-disputed. It was first published in 1604, and another version appeared in 1616. Faustus takes over the dramatic framework of the morality plays in its presentation of a story of temptation, fall, and damnation and its free use of morality figures such as the good angel and the bad angel and the seven deadly sins, along with the devils Lucifer and Mephistopheles. In Faustus Marlowe tells the story of the doctor-turned-necromancer Faustus, who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power. The devil's intermediary in the play, Mephistopheles, achieves tragic grandeur in his own right as a fallen angel torn between satanic pride and dark despair. The play gives eloquent expression to this idea of damnation in the lament of Mephistopheles for a lost heaven and in Faustus' final despairing entreaties to be saved by Christ before his soul is claimed by the devil:
The stars move still, time runs, the clock
will strike,
The devil will come, and Faustus must
be damn'd.
O, I'll leap up to my God!—Who pulls
me down?—
See, see, where Christ's blood streams in
the firmament!
One drop would save my soul, half a drop:
ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!
Yet will I call on him: O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? 'tis gone: and see, where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his
ireful brows!
Mountains and hills, come, come, and fall
on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!
Just as in Tamburlaine Marlowe had seen the cruelty and absurdity of his hero as well as his magnificence, so here he can enter into Faustus' grandiose intellectual ambition, simultaneously viewing those ambitions as futile, self-destructive, and absurd. The text is problematic in the low comic scenes spuriously introduced by later hack writers, but its more sober and consistent moments are certainly the uncorrupted work of Marlowe.
In The Famous Tragedy of the Rich Jew of Malta, Marlowe portrays another power-hungry figure in the Jew Barabas, who in the villainous society of Christian Malta shows no scruple in self-advancement. But this figure is more closely incorporated within his society than either Tamburlaine, the supreme conqueror, or Faustus, the lonely adventurer against God. In the end Barabas is overcome, not by a divine stroke but by the concerted action of his human enemies. There is a difficulty in deciding how fully the extant text of The Jew of Malta represents Marlowe's original play, for it was not published until 1633. But The Jew can be closely associated with The Massacre at Paris (1593), a dramatic presentation of incidents from contemporary French history, including the Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day, and with The Troublesome Raigne and Lamentable Death of Edward the Second (published 1594), Marlowe's great contribution to the Elizabethan plays on historical themes.
As The Massacre introduces in the duke of Guise a figure unscrupulously avid for power, so in the younger Mortimer of Edward II Marlowe shows a man developing an appetite for power and increasingly corrupted as power comes to him. In each instance the dramatist shares in the excitement of the pursuit of glory, but all three plays present such figures within a social framework: the notion of social responsibility, the notion of corruption through power, and the notion of the suffering that the exercise of power entails are all prominently the dramatist's concern. Apart from Tamburlaine and the minor work Dido, Queen of Carthage (of uncertain date, published 1594 and written in collaboration with Thomas Nashe), Edward II is the only one of Marlowe's plays whose extant text can be relied on as adequately representing the author's manuscript. And certainly Edward II is a major work, not merely one of the first Elizabethan plays on an English historical theme. The relationships linking the king, his neglected queen, the king's favourite, Gaveston, and the ambitious Mortimer are studied with detached sympathy and remarkable understanding: no character here is lightly disposed of, and the abdication and the brutal murder of Edward show the same dark and violent imagination as appeared in Marlowe's presentation of Faustus' last hour. Though this play, along with The Jew and The Massacre, shows Marlowe's fascinated response to the distorted Elizabethan idea of Machiavelli, it more importantly shows Marlowe's deeply suggestive awareness of the nature of disaster, the power of society, and the dark extent of an individual's suffering.
In addition to translations (Ovid's Amores and the first book of Lucan's Pharsalia), Marlowe's nondramatic work includes the poem Hero and Leander. This work was incomplete at his death and was extended by George Chapman: the joint work of the two poets was published in 1598.

The attacks this past week on diplomatic posts in Egypt, Libya and other parts of the Middle East and the world were because of the hatred by radical Islamists of the United States, not because of a film.
It would be laughable to consider such speculation credible—that a low-budget movie sparked such venom—if it weren't that the official position of our federal government is just that. What does our government say?

text: Think about what a steel I beam looks like in a bridge or other structure. To bend that beam one side has to be stretched out, and the other side has to be compressed. In the middle of the beam there is what is called a "neutral axis" which is not stretched or compressed. You don't see I beams with a third level of horizontal steel in the middle, and that's because it will do very little. A layer of glass between foam layers would add a very small amount of stiffness. It would add much more stiffness if you just use the glass on the outside.

What a glorious stay at Miami's Fontainbleau Hotel.
Not only is it one of the most beautiful hotels in South Beach, it also has the best service I've ever encountered, both indoors and out, not to mention the incredible Hakkasan restaurant.
After I was stung by a jelly fish one afternoon, the Lapis Spa staff's immediate concern and quick response helped ease the pain (and who knew vinegar is the solution!) and allowed me to get back into the ocean soon after.
We're immensely thankful to the kind staff of the Fontainbleau, who generously donated the luxurious Lapis Spa products for the Nashua Soup Kitchen. We were happy to bring back a giant box of mini shampoos and lotions, that we distributed at the NSK this past weekend.
Thank you so much Fontainbleau, we'll most definitely be back!

New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons

So come on in!
@gojiphen malor
@Miles Prower
Also, for future reference, if you don't specify who's going to win by game time, it counts as a loss against you. If you honestly cannot bring yourself to guess right away, you have until the games start to come up with a winner. Or you can be the gutsy one and call a tie.
Anyways, I'll make my picks later. I need to think about my choices before I settle on anything concrete.

Time for Week 2, everybody! Here are this week's games:
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons
Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Cleveland Browns @ New Orleans Saints
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Indianapolis Colts @ Washington Redskins
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers
Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
New England Patriots @ Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
Make your picks! Here's mine!
Ravens, Panthers, Chargers, Packers, Texans, Saints, Jets, Chiefs, Eagles, Redskins, Rams, 49ers, Broncos, Patriots, Giants, and Bears.
Survival pick for this week would have to be the Saints or 49ers. A lot of tossup games this week as well. Though the biggest question mark is the Packers. If Aaron Rodgers is ruled out for the week, I'm gonna change my pick to the Vikings.
Edit: I changed one of my picks. Instead of thinking the Falcons will win, I am now leaning more towards Carolina. Hopefully, I don't regret that pick. And since Aaron Rodgers is back out on the practice field, I am still leaning more towards Green Bay. But if he ends up getting ruled out tomorrow, I'm gonna change my pick to Minnesota. Everything else will be left as is.

I'm going to simply keep track of everybody's scores manually. Each person has until five minutes before the game starts to put their Pick'ems in. And I'll be keeping track of the tallies for each week, and for the whole year in general. As an added bonus, I'll even keep track of how many times somebody wins a particular week. But with the highest tally after the Super Bowl wins.
Two rules! You got until five games before the game starts to put a pick in. Otherwise, it will be treated as a non pick. In addition, every pick must be made in a single comment. You can discuss things if you want. But for the sake of keeping track of everybody's choices, all picks--even if you change your mind later on--must be located in the same comment. Otherwise, it will be treated as a non pick.
With that said, let's cover the games that are to take place in Week 1!
Here are my weekly picks: Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Minnesota, New England, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Baltimore, Chargers, Broncos, Cardinals, Panthers, Packers, Lions, and Rams. My Survivor pick of the week, however, is Pittsburgh over Cleveland (yes, a road team being chosen as the Survivor Pick of the Week; it is the Browns, after all). And my toughest pick to make was Arizona over Washington.

Ok. Before the Season starts, full-throw I gotta grandiose little idea for a "game" we could play.
Name a number - 1 through 99 - and the Player you FIRST associate with it. YOU CAN BE SELECTIVE, THOUGH! If, on first association you think of a player you don't like (for whatever reason), you can think the next player, and speak it, instead... We only want players you associate in a GOOD way! [NOTE: Doesn't have to be "the best" player you think of for a given number, though.]
By the end, we'll tally all the numbers, and define - by observing who had the most repeat associations among us - the Goodest *Player*... by jersey-number; and, overall.
Here, I'll start randomly and begin with the # 75. You all chime in with your 75 (can be the same as mine/ anyone else's), and then throw out some #'s/ players you think of.
For me, when I think of 75, I immediately think: Joe Greene

There are 4x roms in the zip - actually, only two games (ROM 1 and ROM 2), but see below for reasoning for the extra two roms
the zip also contains a basic readme, and a png image of a playbook key
View attachment: Street Tecmo 2013 v1 also with no p2.zip
View attachment: tsb street var shots 1.png
There are two ROMs, each with 16 NFL teams.
The only difference between the ROMs are the teams/rosters/names, etc. and the color of the endzones.
Based on Jstout's "CIFL 7-on-7" NES Tecmo Super Bowl ROM
Upgraded plays (enhanced for the street)
50 yard "field"
COM v MAN (you can play as player 2 if you set up your emulator)
Competitive COM for challenging Season fun
No "Out of Bounds" - you can run into the walls
New Halftime and New Halftime Song
Reduced Cutscreens
Game plays very fast (almost every variable is sped up greatly)
Turnovers and scoring are common
No punts (just "kicker")
Countless Graphic changes
In-game playbook changing
Cool new Uniforms (some throwbacks in there, too)
12-game season with 8-team playoffs
"Heroes" - it's like a mini-game
I have set up the heroes from the original Tecmo Super Bowl game
AFC and NFC - using their original ratings (although some are decreased because it's played as pro-bowl game)
but, it has a totally different feel and challenge than the other modern "street" teams
Pass Accuracy is completion/int variable
KR return at their own Max Speed
Player 2 condition indicator fixed
No pass-defender auto-dive
Quicker dives for defenders
AI hacks
Passing Game Hacks
Bruddog's OL/DL Differential (more random popcorn in the trenches)
HP Hack (MAN v MAN "popcorn" and/or "mash")
Also, HP is quantized to a scale of "0 to 3 extra presses" that are added to grapple counter)
6-25 HP = 0 extra press
31-50 HP = 1 extra press
56-75 HP = 2 extra press
81-100 HP = 3 extra press
EXTRA ("no p2" versions): the (main) 1st version of TSB Street posted on 9-5-12 has a very cool hack (thanks xplozv) that lets you play as the 2nd player (2nd side) vs COM (also in season mode).
A requirement is that you need to have your emulator set up such that you have control of the 2nd player controller (or if using an actual NES, a controller in port 2!) . In the emulator I use, I have them both programmed to the same controller/buttons.
If you use an emulator that will not allow you to program or play as a 2nd player controller, I have provided a set of roms with the additional "no p2" characters in the rom filename. this "no p2" will play just like the original TSB - MAN will always be player one side when playing COM.
Therefore I have updated the zip to include these "no p2" versions. I also updated the readme in the zip. No other changes have been made.
We must thank the following, because this rom would not be possible without their past or present help:
jstout, bruddog, cxrom, bad_al, average tsb player, elway, knobbe, bodom, and xplozv
(jstout did not have any direct hand in the making of this ROM, but we thought we should credit him because we used his CIFL 7-on-7 ROM as our base)
it's a party, jerk. so enjoy it.

Jessie Andrews — Crush of the Day
You may not know her name, but chances are you may have seen her before. And now, thanks to a budding bestie friendship with tween pop star Miley Cyrus, crush worthy adult film star Jessie Andrews is part of the pop culture conversation.
That's right – little Miley is hanging with porn stars! Don't be surprised. Pop star, porn star, they're nearly indistinguishable nowadays. We know this, you know this, and Miley knows this. Smart girl!
So who is Jessie Andrews anyway? The 20-year-old 'Study Buddy Booty Call' star has appeared in more than 139 films. She's also the ex girlfriend of dubstep artist Borgore. That's how she and Miley apparently met; they both appeared in Borgore's music video 'Decisions.'
The video is supposed to be quite something – full of racy images of Miley making out with Liam Hemsworth, who is dressed as a unicorn or something. But we're more interested in checking out Jessie. This little ball of sunshine from Miami offers a perfect mix of cute and edgy, and we definitely want to see more of her.

Dust Disk Around a Black Hole in Galaxy NGC 4261
This is a Hubble Space Telescope image of an 800-light-year-wide spiral-shaped disk of dust fueling a massive black hole in the center of galaxy, NGC 4261, located 100 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Virgo.
By measuring the speed of gas swirling around the black hole, astronomers calculate that the object at the center of the disk is 1.2 billion times the mass of our Sun, yet concentrated into a region of space not much larger than our solar system.
The strikingly geometric disk - which contains enough mass to make 100,000 stars like our Sun - was first identified in Hubble observations made in 1992. These new Hubble images reveal for the first time structure in the disk, which may be produced by waves or instabilities in the disk.
Hubble also reveals that the disk and black hole are offset from the center of NGC 4261, implying some sort of dynamical interaction is taking place, that has yet to be fully explained.
