The Park of State Circus was founded in 1960, on a surface of 26 ha, with a relief data very interesting, it being a zone almost man-made, on the purpose to give more importance to State Circus building.
The perspectives created by the vegetal material diversity and the presence of the water mirror suppose the manifestation of a real interest for visitors of this park.
From the State Circus building to the water mirror there were created big lawn areas which descended in the easy slope and these were opened to the view as far as to park limits.
The gradient is developed to the park area and it is connected gently with the rest of territory and also with the lake's gradient which has suffered an essential change by the slopes appeasement in order to rehabilitate the ancient aspect of the fossa lake.
The terraces designed in a successive manner make a gradual passing from the superior levels of the area to the most frequented zone from all around the lake.
In the rest of the area, the alleys are distributed following the plot of land configuration and offering pleasant walking and rest areas, with various and interesting view points.
There was widespread the vegetal material, it was not crowded in order to create a large and open green area.
A special impression is conferred by the presence of coniferous trees, which can be view from all coins of the park.
A strengthen and attractive point of the park is represented by the artistic sculptures made in the trunks of the dry trees that demonstrate a real talent, originality and creativity of art designer Mr. C. Teodorescu.

Overview and HistoryBucharest, Romania was first mentioned in written history around 1459 AD. Since then it has gradually grown in influence, becoming the capital of Romania in 1862 and even earning the title "Paris of the East" for its cultural magnetism.The city has a population of about two million people and makes up one of the main industrial centers of eastern europe.The origin of the name Bucharest comes from the legendary outlaw and prince Bucur. Linguistic roots from Albanian and Thracian languages connect that name to words like "beautiful", "glad" and "joyous."Bucharest was home to Wallachian Prince Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century. The city was burned down by the Ottomans in the early 17th century, rebuilt, and ravaged by the Plague over the next two hundred years. Battles between the Ottoman empire and the Austrian Hapsburgs saw Bucharest occupied by Austria and also Russia in the eighteenth century.In 1861 Wallachia and Moldova were united to form the Principality of Romania with Bucharest as its capital. This new region was occupied by Germany during World War One and saw heavy Allied bombing in World War Two. In the middle of the war, Romania joined the Russian side against Germany, and was bombed again, ths time by the Luftwaffe.Following the wars, Romania was under Communist leadership by Nicolae Ceausescu. His tenure came with the construction of many large Soviet-style buildings which took over the historic districts of the city. He was overthrown in the 1989 revolution.The 1991 Constitution established Romania as a republic with a multi-party system, market economy and individual rights of free speech, religion and private ownership.Romania joined NATO in 2004 and the European Union in 2007.Getting ThereYou'll be flying into Henry Coanda International Bucharest Airport, the biggest airport in Romania. Henry Coanda built the world's first jet powered aircraft, did you know that?The airport is 16km north of the city and connects by bus, taxi and a shuttle bus to the Gara de Nord, Bucharest's main train station.TransportationBucharest has an extensive public transportation system, one of the largest in Europe. There's a Metro along with buses, minibuses, trams, trolleybuses and light rail. They have limited the number of taxi licenses to ten thousand to keep down the traffic problems.The main train station is called the Gare de Nord and it connects to all the cities in Romania as well as Belgrade, Budapest, Vinena, Prague and Moscow. The commuter rail line is currently being extended to unite it with surrounding counties.People and CultureThe currency is the Romanian Leu (RON) which exchanges at about 4.3 RON to the Euro at the time of this writing.The first known art in Romania dates to 10,000 BC as cave paintings in northwest Transylvania. Pottery from the Neolithic Age (4000 BC) has been found widely, all around the country. Around 2000 BC there was a distinct group of Thracian people here, whom the Greeks referred to as "Getae". The Romans called them "Dacians" and Herotodus described them as ""the fairest and most courageous of men," because they believed in the immortality of the soul and were not afraid to die.Things to do, RecommendationsRumor has it that Romania sits on one of the world's strongest magnetic lines, and these are responsible for attracting psychics and... wait for it... VAMPIRES to the area!!!Many "dracula" tours take place in Romania, including such places as Sighisoara, the Snagoc Monastery, Castle Bran and of course, Curtea Domneasca. These sites are all related to the life of Vlad Tepes, the legendary Count Dracula.Apart from that, Bucharest is known for its large neoclassical buildings and fashionable parks (in their day). Visit Cismigiu Park, Calea Victoriei street and the Royal Palace for a taste of the architectural history.Text by Steve Smith.

Dr. Alveda King, Priests for Life's full-time director of African-American Outreach, has been named one of NewsOne's Top 10 Black Women.
In naming its "Sheroes," the news service wrote of Dr. King: "Deemed the 'voice of the voiceless' and an enemy of pro-choice advocates everywhere, King, the niece of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., believes that unborn babies have a right to life... King, a pro-life activist and evangelical minister is driven by a strong spiritual conviction which is to keep the controversial issue of abortion before lawmakers."
Dr. King shares the honor with First Lady Michelle Obama; astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison; Liberia President Elllen Johnson Sirleaf and other women of achievement.
"At Priests for Life, we have always recognized Dr. King as a 'sheroe,' because she is courageous and relentless when it comes to speaking out for the unborn," said Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "To have her recognized by NewsOne is very exciting. She deserves the honor."
An Atlanta resident and mother of six, Dr. King is a former college professor who served in the Georgia State House of Representatives. She is a recipient of the Life Prize Award (2011), the Cardinal John O'Connor Pro-Life Hall of Fame Award (2011) from the Legatus organization and the Civil Rights Award from Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) (2011). She is a best-selling author whose books include "How Can the Dream Survive if we Murder the Children?" and "I Don't Want Your Man, I Want My Own."
She is an accomplished actress and songwriter. The Founder of King for America, she is also the recipient of an honorary Doctorate of Laws degree from Saint Anselm College and sits on the board of Georgia Right to Life. She is a member of the National Black Prolife Coalition, NBPC, a frequent guest on Fox News and a spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
"I am humbled and so honored by this recognition," Dr. King said."African-Americans need to bring an end to the abortion genocide that is decimating our community and NewsOne is helping me get that message to the people who most need to hear it. I thank NewsOne from the bottom of my heart."

I know, we've already had threads about this, but I want it known what I went through to get my F-2-1 visa...a little different than some past posts (and since this issuance is most recent, I'm considering it an 'update'). Items submitted: Spouse's birth certificate (Joomin deungrok deungbon) *Family tree certificate (Hojeok deungbon) Reference certificate (Shinwon bojeungseo) <signed and stamped by lawyer> ** Spouse's job certificate (Jaejik jeungmyoung seo ) *** Marriage certificate (notarized by Korean and your gov't) Your and spouse's ID card Your passport 80,000 won worth of stamps (50,000 for change of visa, 30,000 for F2) Spouse has no job? Immigration said they needed some paper showing ownership of house...didn't supply that, so not sure about it. My wife has many jobs, none of which have blipped the radar, thus the gov't knows nothing of it. So legally/technically, she hasn't one, however, she did have one boss stamp a paper saying she was employed. Regarding the proving you have 30 million won. Not needed. Wife called our province's immigration office a while back...the man said we needed to show our bank account info with 30 million in it. She then called other provinces, nobody said that. Went to get my F-2-1 yesterday and the grumpy old man (who is Team jjang;, and answered the phone previously) was at lunch. The nice guy at the counter never asked for the bank info. We were in and out in 20 minutes flat. Thoroughly succinct and pleasant experience as possible....regarding immigration. FYI Shoosh, Ryst * Two registers - One showing wife on the family tree, NEW one showing she's been withdrawn (aka sold off!) **Some kind of proof that she's able to support you, financially *** Legal document from your embassy and (most likely) Chong-ro office, not the cheeky paper you have from the actual wedding ceremony.Last edited by Ryst Helmut on Sat Sep 13, 2003 6:59 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top weathermanJoined: 14 Jan 2003Location: Korea Posted: Sat May 24, 2003 10:29 pm Post subject: What benefits does the F-2-1 give you?

Weatherman, Well, the visa is under the "Permission for engaging in activities not covered by the status of sojourn" section. Under this, well, it allows me to seek additional employment or what-not, legally. This part is a bit confusing, as I didn't think to ask the official to clarify... he told me that if I were to work anywhere other than my primary employment, I should inform his immigration office. Fair enough. My wife went to http://www.nts.go.kr/ to figure out taxes, and the site informed her (why, not sure, doesn't make sense) that there weren't taxes on incomes less than W1,000,000. Did this to figure out private income, but would that be independent income, or additional to my primary source? Cheeky, eh? Official also stated that if i were to work for multiple hakwons (what nightmare does he think I want to submit myself to?), I had to go to the immigration office and get 30,000 won stamps for each school. The visa allows me to sit on my arse and do bugger all. I don't have to leave the country if I don't work. I don't have to leave the country when I change jobs (really, that's for everyone). After 2 years in my F2 status, I can get a Two Year visa....same schtuff, just one more year of no hassle....

Saving the day, and career
For Alecia Epp ('14), life at James Madison University was taking a predictably meandering path for most of the first three years.
Lots of friends. Amazing professors. The challenge of a health services administration degree that she thinks will one day lead her to a top hospital administration job.
All in all, pretty good times for the Eldersburg, Md., native.
Good times that came to a screeching halt when her father was diagnosed with and eventually died from cancer. As very nearly did her JMU academic career.
However, thanks to gifts from donors to Madison Forever Scholarships, Epp is managing to stay the course and finish her undergraduate degree.
For Epp, it's about reaching out to those in need of help.
"I want to help people, and I feel as if health services administration is the perfect fit for me. At the end of the day, it's really about helping people as opposed to doing a job just to make money."
For Epp, the emergency aid scholarship help "really has changed my life." And even with her wealth of friends from freshman year and also all the learning and support she has gleaned from the health services administration faculty, her family's tragedy nearly forced Epp to leave JMU at the start of her senior year.
Enter a Madison Forever Scholarship to help save the day.
"This scholarship is awesome to me. It helped me stay here. I'm just so grateful for it. It really has changed my life," she says. "If I hadn't gotten this Madison Forever Scholarship, I probably would have finished my degree – but it would have been somewhere else and not JMU," she says. "On top of all the other stuff, that would have been pretty awful. JMU is like my second home. I love it.
Want to help more students stay at JMU?

Price Stability and the Gold-Linked Dollar
The long-run goal of monetary policy is simple: Supply the economy with the right amount of money to promote healthy economic growth and a stable price level. Determining that amount is impossible for the Federal Reserve. Nevertheless, since 1971, when we said good-bye to the last semblance of a gold standard, we have delegated that responsibility to the Fed and the world's central bankers. This 40-year experiment has failed. Real economic growth is faltering, and the world's leading powers are waging a currency war in which success, perversely, is measured by the level of currency weakness rather than strength. What has happened to the idea of a sound dollar?
Because our monetary problems were decades in the making, we forget that over a very long interval (1834 to 1971), interrupted only by war, the US economy enjoyed tremendous economic growth and price stability, thanks largely to a convertible dollar (a dollar defined as a weight unit of gold). Numerous misperceptions about the gold standard keep this fact from today's debate on monetary reform. Ask the average Washington insider, and he will tell you that the gold standard causes deflation and restricts economic growth. One need look no further than the historical record to understand that these criticisms are false.
Price stability, not deflation, was the hallmark of a dollar convertible to gold both in the 1800s and the pre-1971 20th century (see Charts 1 & 2). The US price level (CPI) was the same in 1914 as it was in 1834. The absence of inflation for almost a century did not come at the expense of economic growth. On the contrary! US real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew approximately 4% per year for that entire interval, the greatest period of growth in US history. Even during the period 1914 to 1971, as the gold standard was progressively diluted by the gold exchange standard, the residual link between the dollar and gold restrained the CPI, and promoted robust economic growth. After Nixon suspended convertibility of the dollar to gold in 1971, the CPI began its steep, modern-day ascent and the US economy, while continuing to grow, never regained the growth level and price stability seen from 1834 to 1971.
Chart 1: Inflation & GDP Growth 1834-1914 Source: NBCM
At the heart of the gold standard's remarkable history of producing stable prices is the natural alignment of the long-run rate of growth of the above ground gold stock with global population and per capita GDP (see Chart 3). Over long periods, the three variables have grown in direct proportion to each other (0.6%-0.7% per year from 1810 to 1914; 1.4%-1.7% per year from 1914 to 2010). This symmetry is the primary reason why people have used gold as the natural monetary standard throughout history. There is an understanding, based on empirical fact and centuries of production history, that gold will not be overproduced or underproduced relative to population and per capita GDP. It follows, therefore, that when the dollar can be redeemed for a specified weight unit of gold, confidence in the dollar as a reliable measure of wealth increases. Price stability ensues.
Chart 3: 1810-2010 Growth of the Above Ground Gold Stock, World Population & GDP per Capita Source: NBCM
At the October 5th Heritage "Conference for a Stable Dollar," James Grant noted an important irony of the Gold Standard – when the dollar is defined as a weight unit of gold, individuals rarely exchange their paper money for gold. It is only in the absence of a gold standard that they desire gold, a store of value amidst fluctuating paper currencies. Said another way, when the dollar is "as good as gold," people choose the convenience of the convertible paper dollar.
It is also true, however, that the desire and the freedom to hold gold by all market participants, not just the central banks, is a critical underpinning of the stability provided by the gold standard. Under the true gold standard (1834 to 1914), in the case where the central bank produces an excess of money relative to the economy's demand for money, market participants will exchange their dollars for gold, and will continue to do so until the central and commercial banks reduce the supply of money such that price stability is restored. It is this spontaneous and automatic market mechanism, rather than the ratio of central bank gold reserves to the money supply, that keeps the price level in check. The gold standard is the solution to today's monetary problems of currency chaos and financial market instability. While it is not perfect, no other system can match its long record of success in providing stable prices and superior economic growth. We have the map. Let's use it.

Hanin Goma, the Skokie woman charged with driving under the influence of drugs in a May accident that killed a 9-year-old boy, appeared in court today and handed a judge a letter expressing her feelings about the crash.
The letter was not read aloud in court, but Goma's attorney, Mike Goggin, told Cook County Circuit Court Judge Lauren Gottainer Edidin that his client wrote it "to let the court know her feelings about this."
Goma, 23, of the 5000 block of Wright Terrace in Skokie, is charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death, and misdemeanor driving under the influence of drugs, in the May 22 accident that claimed the life of where Carter Vo, 9, of the 4600 block of Madison Street in Skokie.
Goma made no statements in court. She has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but prosecutors and Goggin have been meeting with the judge in the case. The next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 24. Today, Goggin told the court that Goma wanted to talk to her family before deciding whether or not she would take a plea deal.
Vo's father, Nhu Vo, has said that prosecutors have told him that they have offered Goma a deal that would see her sentenced to a five-year prison term in exchange for agreeing to plead guilty in the case. Prosecutors have declined to comment on that.
Under current sentencing guidelines, Goma could be sentenced to between 3 and 14 years in jail if she were found guilty of all charges at trial, officials said.
Shortly after Goma's arrest, prosecutors cited her previous arrests for drug possession and they also said she had failed to attend court ordered drug school classes in that case. Goma, who is in jail in lieu of bond, had been charged with leaving the scene of another accident earlier this year. Officials say that she was out on bond at the time of the accident that killed Carter Vo.
Sharon Johnson a victim advocate with The Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, based in Schaumburg, was in court for today's hearing. She said the Vo family is still struggling to come to terms with Carter's death, and that they want to see Goma sentenced to jail time.
"It's very difficult for them, as it is for all families in this position," said Johnson. "This poor family is struggling every day with the loss of their little boy."
She also said that the courts are seeing more cases of drivers charged with aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death, and related offenses, because blood tests are mandatory when someone is killed in a traffic crash and methods for testing for drugs have improved in recent years.

1. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorCraig Ringer Apr 23, 2012 9:40 AM (in response to Chris Williams)
My understanding is that the only things in a @RunWith(Arquillian.class) test that should run outside the container are:
- The test class static and instance initializer blocks and variable initializers, if any
- The test class ctor and any superclass ctors
- The @Deployment method and anything it calls
No @Test methods should run outside the container, and my understanding is that neither should @Before or @BeforeClass. If they seem to be running outside the container, it'd be a good idea to put together a minimal self-contained test case and submit a bug report. Make sure you're testing against Arquillian 1.0.0.Final (or a newer snapshot).
(3) Probably stems from things running outside the container that shouldn't.
2. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorChris Williams Apr 23, 2012 10:24 AM (in response to Craig Ringer)
For #3, it does appear that @BeforeClass and @Before are both running inside the container but Component.getInstance still fails. I assume there's some Seam initialization done before test execution that isn't happening for @BeforeClass annotated methods. I'm looking for some way to do that initialization myself if that's possible.
I'm verifying that we're inside the container using the code below:
private boolean runningInContainer()
new InitialContext( ).lookup( "java:comp/env" );
return true;
catch (NamingException ex)
return false;
3. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorAslak Knutsen Apr 23, 2012 11:36 AM (in response to Chris Williams)
The current rules for JUnit are:
* BeforeClass / AfterClass are ALWAYS and ONLY executed on the Client side.
** Class level state is not keept alive InContainer between @Test, so BeforeClass/AfterClass == Before/After. When doing in container testing the whole test framework lifecycle will be reexecuted pr @Test on the client.
* Before / After are executed depending on the @Test's RunMode, executed on Client side if @Test run on client.
Note: TestNG does currently not give us the option to 'cancel' @BeforeXX|@AfterXX calls, so here they will be executed both on client and incontainer.
4. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorChris Williams Apr 23, 2012 12:34 PM (in response to Aslak Knutsen)
We're using TestNG and we're seeing basically what you indicated - @BeforeClass executing both in the container and the client and also running once per test. Our problem is that we've got hundreds of TestNG tests that we're converting to use Arquillian and JBoss AS 7 that currently use the @BeforeClass annotation to setup test data in the database (used by all @Tests in the class). We need some mechanism to do this with Arquillian where Component.getInstance() will work. For now, our really hacky solution is to override the run() method on Arquillian and do this:
private static AtomicBoolean hasSetupComponentsRun = new AtomicBoolean( false );
public void run(final IHookCallBack callback, final ITestResult testResult)
// ugh!
if ( runningInContainer() && hasSetupComponentsRun.compareAndSet( false, true ))
super.run( callback, testResult );
5. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorAslak Knutsen Apr 23, 2012 12:41 PM (in response to Chris Williams)1 of 1 people found this helpful
one 'option' would be to move to something like the persistence extension, https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence that knows a bit more about when it needs to run..
of course that doesn't help you in the case of having your current test suite just work..
Or you could replace @BeforeClass with your own annotation, e.g. @Setup and add a little Arquillian extension that handle that annotation specifically..
6. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorCraig Ringer Apr 24, 2012 1:14 AM (in response to Aslak Knutsen)
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realise @BeforeClass and @AfterClass ran outside the container. That's quite handy, actually, when combined with @Before and @After currently taking over their roles in-container.
OTOH, @BeforeClass and @AfterClass exist to allow expensive setup to be done only once, and it sounds like there's no way to do that at the moment. Given that, is it a good idea to get people used to using them for outside-container work when you may want to support them being run in-container if/when Arq is able to support running multiple @Test methods in one go?
7. Re: Arquillian @BeforeXxxxx behaviorAslak Knutsen Apr 24, 2012 5:33 AM (in response to Craig Ringer)
Craig, yea matching client and incontainer lifecycles has been proposed: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-350
Another open issue is support for controlling where a Before/After run and specially in a mix runmode / multi contianer setup it starts to get a bit hairy.. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-351
A API write up from a while back: http://pastebin.com/WeVnJwzA
Arquillian is some what tied to what the Test Framework we integrate with allow, and we're starting to strech the limits. Implementing some these feature might take us over the fine line of integration vs hacking.

Obviously, America as a country is not doing a very good job handling the energy crisis. This is a discussion on what you think we should be doing to create energy for our future.
Argue your viewpoint:
Should we put forth effort to revamp the energy economy with already existing renewable energy sources (ex. wind, tidal, geothermal etc.).
Or put effort into theoretical, but highly efficient forms of energy that have yet to be created (ex. Fusion, magnetism, etc.).
Or, maybe, should we continue in the pursuit of oil, perhaps refining the process to be more efficient.
Or any other plan that may work for America.
Views: 665
Yep, a very good start!
It seems to me that the biggest crisis with energy is the resulting pollution and consequential climate change. Here's a NYT's article about rising sea levels in Norfolk VA from climate change. Something needs to be done. Perhaps some kind of very small tax on carbon could be deferred through the DOE for research on alternative clean energy sources, carbon sequestering programs, battery development, and improvements in building insulation, heating, and cooling.

My iPod-toting daughters, 7 and 11, barely know what a record is—at least, the kind I used to listen to when I was their age. But it turns out they're as interested in world records as I used to be! Catering to kids' eternal fascination with the biggest, fastest, most expensive, and weirdest is the latest edition of an old fave: Guinness World Records 2012, which hit bookshelves this fall. My girls and I attended a launch party for the book recently—here's a photo of my older girl, Clara, with Aevin Dugas, who has the world's largest Afro (4' 4" around!).
We learned there are lots of world records you can try to break right at home. Need some rainy-day fun? Go for the gold in these kid-friendly categories:
- Fastest time to dress a Barbie doll (28.87 seconds)
- Least time to assemble Mr. Potato Head (6.62 seconds—don't forget the moustache!)
- Most socks sorted and hung in one minute by a 2-person team (19 pairs, and hey, what a sneaky way to get kids to help with chores!)
For more awesome ideas, visit challengers.guinnessworldrecords.com—or read all about them in the book!

This story originally appeared in Inc.
Most of us are familiar with LinkedIn as the No. 1 social site for career networking. LinkedIn can help you get a job and show off your credentials and, unexpectedly, even help you find love. Here are six reasons LinkedIn is love's secret weapon.
1. It has a huge network. With more than 300 million users across 200 countries and territories, LinkedIn boasts a significant number of targets for Cupid's arrows. And better yet, these are prime potential dates. LinkedIn is a network of driven, working professionals, not sketchy men taking shirtless selfies.
2. It offers the most important info about potential suitors. LinkedIn makes it easy to review possible matches based on the info that matters—where you're from, where you went to school, and what you do. While these elements are admittedly unromantic, they say a lot about an individual and are significant indicators of potential compatibility.
3. It shows who recently viewed your profile. LinkedIn may not label itself as a dating site, but it sure acts like one. LinkedIn will reveal other users who recently viewed your profile. To get the full info on your viewers, you'll need to dish out bucks for the premium service. This is common practice with dating sites like Match.com.
4. You can deduce a lot from the little info LinkedIn gathers. The data LinkedIn gathers about its users probably won't tell you Ted's favorite sports teams or that Jessica loves to Netflix-binge on Orange Is the New Black. Instead it will help you understand users in a way you'd be hard-pressed to do on normal dating sites. Do they have a lot of different jobs within a short time period? They may still be trying to find themselves or could lack commitment.
5. It shows trusted friends of friends. Most LinkedIn users have a broad network of connections, with most users liberally accepting connection requests. There isn't much personal information you need to keep hidden, as is the case with Facebook. No one is sharing bachelorette photos on LinkedIn, which means there's no need to be stingy with accepting connections.
This results in large networks of various connections—maybe the new girl at your workplace went to college with a high school buddy of yours. The world is smaller than you think, and it shows on LinkedIn. Having even a remote connection between two users increases credibility and helps users feel safe meeting one another in the real world.
6. LinkedUp proves love isn't so far away. LinkedUp is a Tinder-style app that syncs up with a user's LinkedIn account. LinkedUp shows users in close GPS proximity with their profession, hometown, and connections through other LinkedIn users. The app also lets users filter potential mates by job, industry, age, and gender. As so with Tinder, if two users give each other the thumbs up, they are encouraged to chat. While it's not uncommon for dating apps to use Facebook data to match two lovebirds up, LinkedUp is the first that uses LinkedIn data.
The love lesson here is clear—if you're on the market, keep those LinkedIn profiles up to date and upload your most flattering headshot. LinkedIn isn't just for job searching—it could be where you meet the love of your life. Watch out world, Cupid is wearing a tie!

Umar Dumps Domammu Lyrics
If I'm a giver of life. Then you're a stealer of souls. Why would you do this to me? Purification. I cut my fucking ties. I swear I'm through with you. I guess your whole life is a lie. Poor Dormammu. No one loves me. I couldn't get over how quick you said goodbye. And so I sit and question why am I alive? So I called you in the middle of the night. Just to hear you say hello one last time.

Women's magazines have been trying to convince us forever that our orgasms are simply not up to par. They're not intense enough, they should last longer, oh and, by the way, did we know that there's a different kind of orgasm we should be having? The fabled G-spot orgasm! Or A-spot orgasm! (I swear, Cosmo has probably attempted to invent NEW female anatomy in order to sell us on their climax coverlines!)
Well, now there's a new series of scientific essays that lay out evidence concerning vaginal and clitoral orgasms being "separate phenomena," activating different areas of the brain. Apparently, there's a BIG debate about this. Because, again, that orgasm you're already having? Not good enough!!
Here's the thing ... Vaginal orgasms definitely exist. They're not like the mythical unicorn of orgasms that some people would have you believe. Those same people who roll their eyes and say, "G-spot? What G-spot? I've tried for years to find it, and since I can't, obviously it's a cockamamie lie."
Famous sex researcher Dr. Beverly Whipple says that some in the medical community consistently deny the existence of the G-spot, because "if they can't see it under a microscope, they think it doesn't exist." But she personally believes the women who tell her they've experienced it.
Dr. Lissa Rankin is one of those women. She shares in her book, What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend, that she had that elusive "intercourse orgasm" once -- 11 years ago -- and it's evaded her ever since. But you know what? She's perfectly fine with that. As far as I'm concerned, her admission sums up this whole so-called "debate." Yes, scientists! The vaginal orgasm can happen, and it may feel awesome, but not necessarily any more awesome or less awesome as any other kind of orgasm. It's certainly not the only or the best kind of orgasm you can have. And anyone who perpetuates that myth probably has a questionable motive -- like wanting to convince us all that heterosexual sex is superior (rrrrright).
The truth is -- any kind of sex that works for you (as long as it is consensual, of course) is the right kind of sex. Any kind of orgasm you have is the right kind of orgasm. To worry about it any further than that would be totally neurotic splitting hairs. And that's anything but a turn-on!
Have you ever felt pressured to have the "perfect orgasm"?

Grizzly Offense Surges in Final Spring Scrimmage- Jordan Johnson Named Offensive Co-Captain
What a difference a week makes in a football team. At the final Grizzly football scrimmage under the Friday night lights at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, it was the offense that took home the honors.
Montana Sports Information relates that six different players combined for seven touchdowns, which racked up an impressive 485 yards of total offense on 86 plays.
Quarterback Jordan Johnson, after a year-off because of his legal troubles, looked like his old self, going 10 for 19 in passing for 202 yards and a touchdown. 6' 7" redshirt freshman Brady Gustafson was 13 of 17 for 131 yards and a touchdown.
Running back Jordan Canada was impressive, rushing 5 times for 52 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown scamper. Newcomer Trevon Van, the Marshall transfer, rushed 6 times for 17 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown run.
Friday was a special night, as the quarterbacks that led the Griz to their two national championships made a special appearance. Both Dave Dickinson and John Edwards were on hand to inspire the players and the dozens of youngsters who wanted their autographs.
One interesting note in the evening was the announcement of the team captains for both offense and defense, a tradition during the final spring scrimmage. On defense, a pair of senior linebackers, Jordan Tripp and Brock Coyle were honored by their teammates as captains, and on offense, lineman Danny Kistler, Jr. and quarterback Jordan Johnson were named team captains.
Head coach Mick Delaney looked back on Johnson's past year, and was impressed with his poise and leadership skills.
"It's just kind of a refreshing thing to see how much respect this team has for Jordan Johnson," Delaney said. "With the difficulties he's gone through the last year, they've supported him and hung in there with him, and he's hung in there with them even though he wasn't able to hang around them or our program.
"I think he's a great leader," Delaney continued."He's kind of a quiet leader in some respects, but still strong enough to get guys to perform and do the things they are supposed to do, and get them to do those things to the best of their abilities.That's one of the signs of a leader.I think all four of our guys have that quality."
The Grizzlies will go into their summer weight programs, and due to NCAA regulations, can have no formal contact with their coaches. Fall drills will begin in the first week of August, then the team will host perennial powerhouse Appalachian State to start the season on Labor Day weekend.

|Natalya Nesterova: A Painter of People
Sea, 1996
|Lehman College Art Gallery is pleased to present Natalya Nesterova: Russian Wanderings as part of its ongoing series featuring international artists. Nesterova is one of the preeminent contemporary artists of Russia and this survey provides an important overview of her work from 1980 to 2000. Nesterova is first and foremost a painter of people. Her impastoed canvases convey a sense of time and place. They are marked by a pervasive mood which is immediately felt. This exhibition also provides an interesting window onto the life of an artist who joined the Artists Union in 1969 and had worked throughout her career during the Soviet period as a "state-sponsored" artist.
|From the beginning, Nesterovas work drew from modernism rather than the "official style" and is in many ways not what one would expect. Her work developed with an awareness of art movements outside the country, and as a member of the Artists Union, she traveled widely throughout the country. By the early 80s, she was exhibiting and traveling outside the Soviet Union. While particular artistsMagritte, Rousseau, and Noldeare among the influences critics have mentioned in relation to Nesterovas work, surrealism is most often referenced. It is this aspect of her work which can appear to Western eyes as a metaphor for life during the Soviet era. This type of imagery, however, is also found in the West where it is attributed to the Post-Modern condition. In Nesterovas work perhaps it is both.
|Nesterova depicts people in social situations. The isolation of the individual in crowded cafes, streets, or beaches, and the fragmentation of the figure, read as a comment on their psychological state. Figures are often concealed, presented with their backs to the viewer. Disembodied hands reach into the picture plane to eat a meal, feed the birds, or have a manicure. Faces are obscured by a raised forearm or hidden by a bowl of fruit. Other figures are literally wearing masks, which make them seem like actors in a performance rather than people in control of their lives. There is a stillness in all this activity and a sameness about these people. More recent work depict figures blanketed with eyesalways the subject of observation. Like the act of "people watching," one projects narratives onto Nesterovas paintings which are surely as much about the observer as the observed.
Bird That Flew Away, 1995
|Also outside the bounds of what one would expect from an state sanctioned artist are the religious themes, Christian and Jewish, that Nesterova has explored over the last ten years. These include Biblical subjects as well as contemporary practitioners. Her themes from the Bible are also those familiar from the history of art. The imagery is sometimes extremely subtle like a cookie in the shape of a Star of David. These works are richly layered and such subtlety makes one go back and reexamine the work for other hidden symbols.
|We would like to thank the curator, Alexandre Gertsman, for organizing this exhibition. His selection of paintings provides an impressive overview of Nesterovas work. Gertsman and the INTART Foundation have provided an invaluable service in terms of bringing artists from the former Soviet Union both emigre and those living in Russia to the attention of the American public.

I would like for SNR to get the **** out of his basement long enough to check CP, make his pick, and then thank his mom for making his lunch and doing his laundry.

Make the easy pick with TR gone, take DeCastro. Make up for letting Hutch get away. I'm sure the Cal guy(Lynch) won't mind having a Cardinal(DeCastro) blasting holes open for him.

For what?
BTW, I checked my private messages a couple times...if you had sent a pm (as required via rules to this) and not posted it on my wall, I would have gotten my pick in hours earlier.
I also think it's a bit rich to call for my head when I clearly followed the rules and you didn't...also, you made us all wait quite a bit last year for your pick.
Now, get out of my way so I can rape the talent from this draft as I have the last two years while you ensure your special teams unit is stellar...
Dreams do come true...

I get to put a lot more thought into my draft strategy this way.

The top players available that the Seahawks should consider:
Michael Brockers
David DeCastro
Kendall Wright
Michael Floyd
Luke Kuechly
Dre Kirkpatrick
Dontari Poe
Yes, that's right. The other tackles will continue to fall in this draft. Okung sucks dick (okay he's mediocre, but I love to dig at Sac's boy) and Carpenter had huge injury problems. It's sink or swim, and the new guys haven't been given a real good chance to swim at all. The same goes for G John Moffitt last year, whom I really liked. The team should in no way give up on him after one measly rookie year. He'll figure shit out, and he'll be good.
First step: Get rid of Dre Kirkpatrick. He's not the best player available, and he's far from a need. Trufant and Brandon Browner make up a formidable pair of CBs.
Piss on Michael Floyd (sorry, Pest). His skills are great, but not exceptional. And sheesh you want to talk about a WR with diva problems? How about off-the-field issues? Good lord. People who bitch about Jon Baldwin being a problem child need to shut the **** up.
Interior defensive line would be fabulous, but I don't see the talent available translating to what the Seahawks need. Brockers is a slow ****, still a bit immature, and I've got a nasty ass taste in my mouth from Tyson Jackson. I wouldn't wish that upon any team, especially a team that couldn't use him like a 3-4 team could use him. And **** Dontari Poe. He's not Haloti Ngata. Just shut the **** up, please.
Luke Kuechly, Kendall Wright, or David DeCastro? The talent : need ratio doesn't really favor Wright, IMO. And as great as DeCastro would be for the Seahawks' new run-first offense, they did just fine last year. They're much better finding interior linemen in the middle rounds to replace the other side of Moffit. As much as I hate white LBs (another dig at Sac), Kuechly makes the most sense here.
The Seahawks were fine against the run and pass in terms of yards. However, they can't keep both vets David Hawthorne and Leroy Hill. That's a small problem. By drafting Kuechly, they're getting a solid player to fill that position, as well as a player with the talent to work into pass rush lineups. It doesn't in any way address their pass rush problem, but it adds an extra possibility.

The Cardinals need help along the offensive line in the worst way. Unfortunately, the OTs in this class are lackluster. Thus, the team selects the BPA at an area of need:
David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
True Fans everywhere rejoice.

I'm using xampp 1.8.1 on a Windows 7 Professional PC. In myphpadmin, when I select a database and choose the "Routines" tab, I get following message in a red screen ( translated from Dutch ).
"You are using the depricated 'mysql' extension, which cannot handle multiple queries. <b>The execution of some saved routines may fail!</b> Please use the improved 'mysqli' extension to avoid problems."
Want to try out using pre-defined stored procedures ( as one can do in for example ms sql, so no sql creation queries ) in combination with PDO in PHP. Is this still possible or do I have to change anything in order to get rid of this message first.
Hope someone can help me out with this.
