While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the advancement of a four-passenger sports car they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising team prepared the world for the introduction of an automobile they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 virtually every element of the car's design and advancement, from preliminary design sketches to clay models, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy utilized the possessions to produce a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in Bennettsville SC , which was later shown on TELEVISION and in cinema. They also presented females's clothing called the Camaro Collection and even a Camaro roadway race video game.
Buy Classic Chevrolet Camaros
In November, Chevy sales executives and creative people previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's venerable ad agency, instantly began work on catalogs, direct mail and sales promo materials, together with print, outdoor and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New York Car Program Interview, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had been chosen for the new car, but did announce that pricing of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Bennettsville SC model will remain in the Corvair-Chevy II variety.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy struggled over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A similar bout of cold feet would later on trigger the Pontiac variation, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its brief life time, the F-car had actually been called by numerous names including Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy thought about utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which evolved into GeMini and finally Gemini. However, GM's upper management banned the concept, fearing the automobile might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that someone at Chevrolet finally proposed the name Camaro and upper management quickly agreed. Although the name has no genuine meaning, GM scientists supposedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "good friend" or "buddy." It's rumored that Ford Motor Company scientists also discovered other meanings, including "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Because a number or pre-launch products had currently been released utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's many pressing obstacle was to now rename their new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Bennettsville SC by looking for classic car dealers.
The price tag of $2,466 for a Camaro base coupe and $2,704 for a base convertible was fully competitive with Ford's prices of their 1967 Mustang models which was $2,461 for the standard coupe, $2,692 for a conventional fastback and $2,898 for a basic convertible.Taking a page from Mustang's success in earning added profit from options and devices, the Camaro could be purchased with almost 80 factory options and 40 dealer accessories.
Purchasers might also option as much as a larger 250-inch version of the basic straight 6 engine, a choice of 327-cubic-inch small-block V8s fed by either a two-barrel or a four-barrel carburetor and two versions of the 396-cubic-inch big-block V8. In order to keep the new Camaro from taking sales far from the Corvette, a corporate order prohibited equipping it with engines larger than 400 cid. Transmission choices included a four-speed manual, a two-speed "Powerglide" and in late 1967 the brand-new three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350".

Bourgeois Brass Knuckles Corkscrew
This little baby could do a lot of damage. Unfortunately you can't snatch up one of these limited edition corkscrews unless you pry it from someones filthy hands. The Bourgeois Brass Knuckle Corkscrew opener was on limited release and have already sold out. This is definitely something to look forward to if they decide to go back in production.
Keep an eye out for these on ThinkGeek. If they happen to go back in production be sure to let me know :)

Serving suggestion: white rice
For the irish moss mixture: Combine the coconut milk, moss and ice cubes in a blender and blend well until all of the Irish moss pieces have been pulverized. Stop blending halfway through and scrape down the sides and lid of the blender with a spatula to get any remaining pieces of moss. The warmer the mixture becomes the thicker and pastier it will be, and it will begin to stick to the sides of the blender, so try to keep it cool. The coconut milk can be put in the refrigerator to stay cold before blending. For the curry conch: Place the conch in a large saucepan and cover it by 2 inches with water. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and bring to a boil, while watching for foaming over onto the stove. Turn down to a simmer and cook until the conch is tender to the bite, 40 minutes, and then allow it to cool in the water. Remove the conch and cut it into bite-size pieces. Return the large saucepan to a boil and allow the juices from the cooking process to reduce until only about 1 cup remains. Heat another saucepan with coconut oil and add the onions, peppers, garlic and Scotch bonnet pepper and cook over medium heat until the peppers are soft and the onions are translucent. Add the curry powder and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to incorporate all of the ingredients, and allow the curry to toast slightly. Add the 1 cup of cooking juices and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of the Irish moss mixture if you choose, as well as salt and black pepper to taste, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 more minutes. The curry will thicken after adding the Irish moss mixture. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining butter and the cilantro and serve.

Stress takes its toll psychologically and physically, and causes many psychological and physical problems including many chronic and fatal diseases. That's why it is very important to keep stress under check and to learn and adopt techniques to cope with stress effectively so that it does not destroy your health in the long run.
With the passage of time, everyone adopts different methodologies to cope with stress. However, there are many techniques which have been scientifically proven to be helpful in copying and managing stress. Usually, when we get stressed we try to make ourselves busy with the tasks so that the stressful thoughts don't come into our minds. You can also lock it up inside and try to forget about it. You can also treat yourself with shopping, eating, or something else. However, such approaches are only temporary and do not work in the long run. In fact, they might have opposite effect altogether sometimes. For example, if you're stressed out already due to overwork and you keep yourself busy with something else to avoid thinking about the original stress; this new task can make you even stressful.
Instead of that, you can sit quietly and think about the problem. You can try to find solutions to the problems which are making you stressful. You can also talk to someone close to you like a family member or a close friend. You can let your feelings out by talking to someone. You can also try to understand your problem and find alternatives. You can take some action to resolve the actual problem which is causing stress.
However, ignoring your situation can give you a temporary relief, but it cannot help in the long run. This attitude is not good and you should avoid it. You should not lock up the feelings inside yourself either. You should talk to someone about your feelings and the situation. Even if the other person is not able to help you, at least, you would have vented your feelings out. You should not worry constantly about the problems and your stressful situations because this can make you even more stressful. Set aside some time to think your problems through and then move on to other things. You'll find solutions to your problems soon.
A very good approach to tackle stressful situations is taking control of the problems. Do not blame others for these problems. Instead take responsibility and do something. You need to believe that you are in control of the situation and things are not out of control. It has been scientifically proven that if you consider yourself in control of the situation you feel less stressed.
You need to believe in yourself and understand that your results depend upon your actions. You're responsible for the results. If you keep blaming others for your problems then you'll never be able to take action and solve your problems. This will keep putting more pressure and stress on you. Instead, take charge of the things, understand the problem, make plans to solve those problems, and then resolve the problems.
Take good nutritional supplements for stress which can help you cope with stress and can reduce the level of destruction in the body due to the stress. This will help you keep healthy in the long run and avoid chronic diseases.

I know what you're thinking, I don't run a ~music~ blog. But like I've said many many times in the past: music is extremely important to me. Many of the albums on this list have received poor reviews and aren't that highly acclaimed. I'm sure a lot of you are going to stare directly at the page and let out a huge sigh or question, out loud, the reasoning behind my choices... so I'll just tell you: these albums mean something to me. They're all pieces of music that I've grown attached to and that I find either speak to me, speak through me or just albums that I've found myself listening to on repeat.
The only one that I wasn't 100% sure about adding to the list was Matangi by M.I.A. but I feel as though I worked it up in my head as a masterpiece before it was dropped and it could never live up to my expectations. It is a fantastic album though, and it has a bunch of songs that I adore. 2013 also marked the year that I finally saw M.I.A. live and that's really reason enough to put her on this list.
Of course I recommend that you check out the pieces that I've posted. Almost all of them are a different genre so look them up before you decide to, they might not be your cup of tea. Shoot me a question in my comment box as well. Do you agree with any of the albums on the list, or do you think I'm out of my mind? What are some of your favourites released in 2013? Did you check out any of the works I posted? What did you think?
1) AM by Arctic Monkeys 2) The Hurry and The Harm by City and Colour 3) Demi by Demi Lovato 4) Ciara by Ciara 5) Magna Carta / Holy Grail by Jay Z 6) Matangi by M.I.A.

Last Tuesday, I got the chance to see Sam Harris in conversation with Richard Dawkins at Oxford's Sheldonian theatre, at an event organised by the British Humanist Society called 'Who says science has nothing to say about morality?'
Sam had been in the UK for a couple of weeks promoting his new book 'The Moral Landscape'. This was my first time seeing him and Richard live so I was really excited, and I wasn't disappointed with my evening.
Setting from London, I got there at least 2 hours early, and I'm glad I did. Roaming around Oxford centre and the venue where the talk was to take place, I caught Richard Dawkins on his bicycle coming into the theatre. I wasn't going to let this opportunity go past me so whilst he was locking his bike to the railings I nervously said, "Professor Dawkins? I'm a big fan sir, and a great admirer of your work." He was very pleased to hear that and said "Thank you".
I continued, "I'm a very recent atheist and an ex-muslim, and your books and lectures on YouTube helped me a lot." He said something like, "Oh, well done. I'm very pleased to hear that." After exchanging a few more words, I thought this was the perfect moment to ask him my question. I asked him if he knew of Dr. Zakir Naik. He said he didn't. I explained who he was; that he enjoyed a following of millions of Muslims and considering the high profile of Islam in the media right now, would he ever consider going on the Muslim channel Dr. Naik started and debate him live. Professor Dawkins response was simply, "No, I don't debate Muslims."
I'm sure he would have had more to say and would have given me a reason as to why not, but he had to go into the theatre for his talk. I can take a guess however why he wouldn't. Richard Dawkins is an acclaimed scientist who uses logic, reasoning, scientific theory and proof and evidence for his arguments, whilst all Dr. Naik has is his limited knowledge of science, flawed logic and reasoning, and his desperate attempt at clinging onto an archaic scripture and using that as his only means of defence. So you can see, not exactly a fair fight.
But I hope one day, for purely entertainment value, Richard Dawkins gets to debate Dr Naik. I can guarantee that debate will attract millions of viewers worldwide. Should make for a good show!
Also, I got The God Delusion signed by Richard Dawkins and The End of Faith by Sam Harris. Got a "welcome to the club" from Sam Harris after I told him of my recent deconversion.

Algerian Football Federation turns down Anelka move to NAHD
ALGIERS - Controversial French striker Nicolas Anelka was on Monday refused permission to join an Algerian club on the grounds that he was too old.
The 35-year-old former Arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid star was on the verge of joining Nasr Athletique d'Hussein-Dey (NAHD).
But the move was blocked by the Algerian Football Federation, Mahfoud Kerbadj, president of the Algerian professional football league, told APS news agency.
"The rules concerning foreign players being allowed to play in the Algerian league are clear," he said.
"Only those aged under 27 and playing on the international level for their countries are allowed to sign up with our clubs."
Anelka has been training with NAHD and had hoped to sign an 18-month contract with what would have been his 13th club.
The 69-capped forward's most recent employers were Mumbai City in the Indian Super League.
Last March he was fired by English side West Bromwich Albion for "gross misconduct" after he made an alleged anti-Semitic gesture, known as a "quenelle", as a goal-scoring celebration.
That sacking was the latest in a long history of rows and disputes over the course of a career which saw him play for 11 different clubs in six different countries before heading to India.
As well as playing in a host of top European clubs, he also had a brief spell with Shanghai Shenhua in China.

Peggy and I flew in to the Upper Utukok in June and floated down in our Double Alpacka to Archimedes Ridge: great wildlife and pretty paddling. We then hiked back upstream to our cache at the strip and headed over the Brooks Range to float the Kugururok and Noatak Rivers to the village of Noatak where we caught a river boat back to Kotzebue.
This is a really neat trip and, of course, my video does it little justice. The National Petroleum Reserve Alaska is the wildest place in the USA and has the best off-trail hiking I have found in the state. Just be sure to get there between the snow and the mosquitoes, like the caribou.
Hig and Erin are planning a trip up there in the NPRA with toddler Katmai as part of a Ground Truth Trek on coal. Looking forward to what they find and relate.

Welcome to our parent/carers information page. We hope you will find what you are looking for but if you have anything that cannot be accessed here please feel free to use our contact us page to request specific information that cannot be found here.
The office timetable will give you information on what activities are taking place at our office which includes education classes and parent support groups.
If you do not fit our referral criteria as stated above you can see what support may be available in your area by clicking onto this link this will take you to an external website which will give you information on the agencies across the UK who may be able to support you.
To refer to our service you will have to either live in Enfield, Haringey or Barnet or your child has to attend a school in these boroughs. We support parents/carers who are being abused by their children and work with the whole family. The children have to be between the ages of 6-18 years. Abuse covers emotional, verbal, physical, psychological and sexual. The abuse has to be outside of what would be seen as normal child behaviour.
You can self-refer or be referred by an outside agency by requesting support via our contact page and someone will be in touch with you to arrange an initial meeting to make an assessment for more information on how we can support you and your family please click here.
Parent Abuse is a mainly hidden form of abuse and as such there is very limited information on the extent of the problem as incidents do not get logged on any health or police database. You can help us raise awareness of this issue by completing our parent survey. This will help us to highlight the issue so it does not remain hidden which in turn will aid other families to come forward for support.
Paars is a registered Charity and all our services are free to our clients. At Paars we understand that this form of abuse is not as simple as being down to bad or failed parenting.
The issues with many of our families are varied and complex and as such needs to be handled carefully. Our intervention looks at helping to solve the factors that sustain the abuse. As well as offering the holistic support via our counsellors and experienced volunteers we also offer practical support through our education classes, careers advice, outward bound activities etc so that the young person/parent/carer has a more promising future outlook. The young person is seen as part of the solution not just the problem.
We also recognise that the holistic approach can take time and the important thing is to keep everyone safe not just the parent/carer but also the young person and other siblings in the home. If you feel that you or your family are in immediate danger you may have no choice but to call the Police as hard as this is. In a situation that is immediately dangerous call 999 if not then call on 111.

text: Seattle Is Becoming What Detroit Once Was 'We are living in the world of Jeff Bezos,' writes geographer By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Dec 18, 2015 12:34 PM CST 54 comments Comments In this June 16, 2014, photo, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos walks onstage for the launch of the new Amazon Fire Phone in Seattle. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File) View 1 more image (Newser) – Detroit ruled a big chunk of America's first machine age, thanks to Henry Ford. Which city will be the "next Detroit" in our modern age? Geographer Jim Russell spent a month assessing that question, and he makes the case in Pacific Standard that the answer in Seattle. That's thanks to Jeff Bezos' Amazon, but it's not about how the company's employment boom has led to a corresponding boom in Seattle's population. It's about how the company is transforming our world in the same way that Ford's Model T transformed its world. "Amazon's Model T is the cloud," writes Russell. "Amazon Web Services sells computing power, akin to Ford selling horsepower," a development that "breaks the link between labor and firms, labor and geographic job markets." An engineer in India, for instance, doesn't need to move to Silicon Valley to work for a company there. Russell's long view traces a line beginning in the 1880s from Pittsburgh (the steel industry, when physical geography was king) to Detroit (when the automobile made physical geography less important) to Silicon Valley (the second machine age and the computing revolution). A new shift is happening, however. "Seattle leading the way, the cloud is undermining historical happenstance," he writes. "We are living in the world of Jeff Bezos right now."

The final week of Jesus Christ's life before crucifixion is celebrated as the holy week. Sculptors say that, Friday in the holy week is the day Lord Jesus was made to carry a cross and was crucified on it. This day came to be observed as the Good Friday or Great Friday by Christians around the world. People observe this day by mourning, fasting, reciting hymns and praying. The tradition, customs and celebration of Good Friday is very much distinct from that of any other holy day or festival. All other festivals including Easter and Christmas are celebrated by preparing tasty treats and enjoying with friends and family, while Good Friday is observed soberly and is a day of mourning, austerity and silence.
The Good Friday ritual is different from any other Friday service, it is a somber and lengthy service and the pulpit and altar of the church is kept bare and there is no mass on Good Friday. No candles and lights are used in the church during the service and the church and cross is draped in dark cloth. The priest and the believers dress in black on this day. The service on this day may last up to three in the afternoon, the time Christ died. The priest read the passage from gospel about the seven last words of Jesus during the three hour service of Good Friday. There is a custom of venerating the wooden cross before the Good Friday service to pay respect to the cross on which Jesus died. The devotees pay respect either by bowing in front of the cross or kissing it. The practice of venerating the cross is believed to have originated in Jerusalem in the seventh or eighth century.
The 'Station of the Cross" is an ancient Catholic tradition at the Good Friday service where paintings and banners are used to depict the final hours of Christ's life. The stations are scenes made on stone, wood, metal and they can be sculptured, carved or painted. It commemorates the path of Jesus Christ's life and each station represents a scene from his betrayal to death and arousal from dead. The participants move from station to station and recite prayer and feel the suffering and humiliation Christ underwent at each of the fourteen stations.
There is also a tradition of conducting the Good Friday procession. Thousand of devotees attend the processions and recites prayers and hymns. They carry cross and sculpture from the church through the streets and then back into the church. The white procession is observed in the morning with the first break of sunlight here everyone dresses in white and black procession is observed at dusk and everyone dresses in black. The most intense of all procession is observed in the island of Philippines. They retrace the final events in Jesus Christ's life and get themselves beaten, whipped and nailed to the cross. They pay respect to the crucifixion by stopping even the television and radio broadcast at three O' clock in the evening.
The Christians observe fast and abstinence on Good Friday. Some keep dawn to dusk fast while others limit their meal to one or two in the day. They limit the consumption of meat and eat vegetables and seafood on the day. It is a catholic tradition to eat fish instead of meat on Good Friday and every family prepare one or the other fish dishes. Eating warm Hot Cross Bun at breakfast time, right from the oven is an old Good Friday tradition followed up to now. Hot cross bun is sweet, spicy and fruity bread prepared from flour, butter, milk, dried fruits, sugar, honey and spices. A cross shaped is made on the bun by icing, sweetened fresh cream or a lighter colored dough. The cross shape made on the bun symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Many other traditions are also associated with Good Friday. It is the day when everything is prepared and whitewashed for Easter. The Easter eggs are also prepared on the Good Friday. It is a practice to fly handmade kites made by crossing sticks on this holy day. This tradition is thought to raise Christ and cross above everything. During the reign of Edward III it was a custom to bless gold and silver rings by rubbing between fingers. These blessed rings were believed to have healing power against diseases like epilepsy. Queen Elizabeth abolished this practice during her reign.
The resurrection of Christ is celebrated three days later on Easter and this day too has a lot of traditions and practices associated with it. It is a day of hope, joy and celebration. People present colorful Easter eggs and Easter Bunny on this day and Easter egg hunts are also conducted for children in the neighborhood. All the Christians get together for the Easter morning service and pray together. On the day friends and family gets together and enjoy the day by having traditional lamb roast, chocolates, wine and Easter cakes. It is the most enjoyed celebration for children and the grownups.
The Good Friday customs and are similar but distinct in different part of the world. All the customs and practices are observed to pay respect to Lord Christ and feel the passion he underwent on his last day. This is the day Lord Christ was made to carry the burden of others sin and the people were assured an eternity in heaven.

LamanBlu designs and manufactures eco-friendly contemporary apparel for every little princess and prince charming.
We debuted our collection in 2009 to rave reviews and have been growing slowly and steadily. Now it is time to take our collection to the next level and show at the prestigious ENK Children's Club show in New York!
ENK/Children's Club market is where all the best domestic and international buyers gather in one place and it is the largest show of its kind in the US. It is a juried show and only top notch designers and companies are invited to show. LamanBlu has been on the invite list for several seasons and now we're ready to make our appearance. It is crucial for our growth to expand our reach to specialty store buyers across the US and internationally. We want to be in a store near you!
Our mission is to Celebrate Childhood. We do this by crafting beautiful apparel with exquisite detailing to take a child through their entire day, from holding court in the morning to fighting dragons in the afternoon.
We believe in using eco-friendly fabrics, which are gentle to our environment and to a child's delicate skin - fabrics including bamboo, organic cottons, recycled polyesters and washable linens.
We know children insist on being comfortable and have ease of movement no matter what they're wearing, and all of our styles go through extensive wear testing by real kids. Whether they're twirling around the room or hanging on the monkey bars, their clothing has to move with them, and even delicate looking clothing has to be durable enough to stand up to a child's day.
We are also advocates for mom's busy lives and everything in our collection is machine washable, ironing optional. Most of our items have adjustment points at critical areas, so that they can wear their clothing for longer, even after a growth spurt.
Another way LamanBlu carries out its mission to Celebrate Childhood is to support charities protecting children and protecting our world for them. We are actively involved in several charities both through direct volunteerism and financial support, including JDRF, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Falling Whistles. You can read more about our chosen charities on our website.
Thanks for taking the time to look at our Kickstarter project. We hope you'll choose to support us!

Full back story can be found here.
(all AIM screennames have been changed to protect the innocent, and the just plain dumb)
MissShady wrote to me with her new screenname LilMissShady. She called me a vulgarity, that I don't recall, and by the time I went to respond, she had signed off (really signed off, not just blocked me). So that was a missed opportunity at conversing with the real MissShady, but I figured I'd have another chance in the future (and boy did I ever… stay tuned). But before that happened, I had tried my hand at playing the part of MissShady again. Like last time, the only buddy online was DanteGil, so I wrote to him.
MissShady: chat with sonya yet?
The origin of Sonya.
DanteGil: i blocked her
DanteGil: she might be at the show i'm going to.
DanteGil: so maybe i'll talk to her there.
MissShady: why'd you block her?
DanteGil: i don't know what to talk about.
DanteGil: i'll make an ass out of myself
MissShady: talk to her about the show, or music, or whatever
I made the mistake here, of getting preemptively defensive. It backfired. But isn't this entire saga one giant backfire?
MissShady: I should warn you that there's a LilMissShady whose trying to imitate me
DanteGil: what?
MissShady: just in case she writes to you. I think she got my buddy list
DanteGil: what are you talking about?
MissShady: on AOL instant messenger
DanteGil: who is it?
DanteGil: and who the fuck are you
DanteGil: answer me
DanteGil: now
MissShady: I think she/he is some computer nerd who is messing around
DanteGil: when's john's birthday
DanteGil: why the fuck are you telling me this now you stupid bitch?
DanteGil: who the fuck are you
MissShady: why are you calling me a bitch? who do you think I am?
DanteGil: i don't fucking know
MissShady: this is crazy
DanteGil: WHO THE FUCK IMED ME BEFORE
DanteGil: ON YOUR GODDAMN STUPID NAME
MissShady: somebody who is messing around with my screenname
DanteGil: then how do they know john?
DanteGil: and why don't you tell me this shit
DanteGil: earlier, idiot
MissShady: they must have guessed about john
MissShady: sorry, I was busy
DanteGil: goddamn it they better not IM me again
DanteGil: don't put me on your list anymore
DanteGil: they didn't fucking guess

DanteGil: stupid fucking florida hick
DanteGil: don't fuck with me
MissShady: oooo… now you're insulting my state?
MissShady: how mature
DanteGil: when is john's birthday?
MissShady: you can take his birthday and cram it up your ass
I asked two of my friends when John's birthday was. They didn't know either, so I just gave up. Anyone out there know John?
DanteGil: stupid bitch
DanteGil: don't talk to me anymore
DanteGil: go die
DanteGil: i hate when people fuck with me
DanteGil: stupid slut, go suck some cock
MissShady: go cry to sonya. loser.
DanteGil: whoever the fuck you are
�DanteGil� signed off.
Just before he blocked me, we got in a "warn" war, and I managed to get his warning level up to 35%. A friend of mine logged on under a secret screenname of his own and started up a chat with DanteGil, only to start warning him even more. I think he got the DanteGil's warning level up to 80% or so.
Sadly, this is probably it for DanteGil and MissShady conversations. But it'll be interesting to see what happens when I write to him with a new screenname of my own and send him some of his Sonya pictures back.

3 - Moderate. Not really a difficult platinum at all, it just requires 6 character playthroughs (Each can be done in roughly 15-25 hours depending on skill and character powers, weapons etc.) and £10 for a 30-day Legendary subscription to unlock the trophies.

Easy platinum, but very time consuming.
You'll need to be premium membership to get trophies
The time consuming part is making 6 different characters with different mentors.
It takes about 2-3 days of playing to get a character to level 30, Playing with friends can REALLY speed up the process.
A small plus is every play-through will have different missions, which keeps things somewhat interesting.

Queer fandom nowadays has become a global phenomenon. It helps exemplify the complexities, anxieties, conflicts, and negotiations within and surrounding the collision of global, national, and regional cultures. Some of its subdivided fields, such as Western slash and Japanese Boys' Love (BL), have received significant academic attention since 1980s (e.g., Aoyama, 1988; Bacon-Smith 1992; Buckley 1991; Fujimoto 1991; Jenkins 1992; Kinsella 1998; Matsui 1993; Penley 1992; Russ 1985). Especially in recent years, the distributions and interpretations of BL across language and geographical boundaries, the distinctiveness and similarities between BL and slash genres, the pornographic aspect of BL, slash, and other forms of queer fannish productions have been emphasized in a body of scholarly literature worldwide (e.g., Brienza 2009; Chao 2013; Galbraith 2011; Glasspool 2013; Isaksson 2009; Keft-Kennedy 2008; Levi 2009; Levi & McHarry & Pagliassotti 2010; Martin 2012; McLelland 2000; Meyer 2013; Mizoguchi 2008; Nagaike 2003; Nagaike 2009; Pagliassotti 2009; Penley 1991; Perper & Cornog 2002; Sabucco 2003; Shamoon 2012; Silvio 2011; Welker 2006; Wood 2006; Wood 2013; Zanghellini 2009).
Meanwhile, the blooming of Chinese queer fandoms in the past two decades has also offered rich sites of queer representations of gender and sexuality. Greatly shaped by Chinese traditional romantic literature, Japanese BL, and Western slash cultures (Feng 2009; Xu & Yang 2013; Yang & Bao 2012; Zheng 2009), contemporary Chinese queer fan cultures have been enjoying a growing diversity. The objects Chinese fans queerly fantasize about are by no means limited to local Chinese celebrities, nor to self-identified queer celebrities. The proliferation of cross-regional, cross-cultural, and transnational Chinese queer fandoms dedicated to androgynous celebrities, queer media, and popular culture is also hard to ignore. Yet, research explicating the intricacies of gender identities, sexual desires, regional differences, national belongings, and global queer cultural convergence and hybridization within Chinese queer fandoms is still far from adequate.
To fill this research gap, this edited collection stresses the struggles, potentials, and dynamics of queerness unveiled within a variety of the fannish contexts of Greater China. Bearing on the intersecting of global cultures studies, post-colonial studies, modern queer theory, and media audience research, we view queerness as a nonstraight spectatorial position (Doty 1993; Kohnen 2008) and/or a productive space (Munoz 1999). Accordingly, we aim to examine Chinese queer fandom as a grassroots cultural palimpsest that reconfigure, contest against, trespass, and/or overturn the dominant scripts of identity and subjectivity.
We seek chapter contributions that elaborate the cultural specificities, significances, transformativity, hybridity, historicity, and futurity epitomized by Chinese queer fan cultures. We are especially keen to receive manuscripts that consider the queer dimensions of gender, sexuality, desire, and fantasy from a wide range of Chinese temporal and geographical settings. We also very welcome submissions that employ interdisciplinary and/or comparative approaches.
Manuscript topics may include but are not limited to:
Ø Genders and Sexualities in Chinese Boys' Love/Slash and Girls' Love/Femslash Fandoms
Ø Queerness and Performativity in Fandoms Dedicated to Anime and Cosplay/Role-Play/Life-Play in Greater China
Ø Chinese Queer Readings of Media, Popular Culture, and Celebrities Worldwide
Ø Chinese Queer Fans' Gender- and Sexuality-Related Identities, Agencies, Subjectivities, Fantasies, Desires, Connections, and Relationships within Fan Communities
Ø Racial Representation, Distant Cultural Construction, and Non-Chinese Imagination in Chinese Queer Fan Cultures
Ø The Interrelationship and Interaction between Chinese Queer Fandoms, Queer Organizations, Queer Movements, Queer Politics, and Queer Grassroots Publics and Communities
Ø Queer, Pornographic Representations of Male/Female Sexualities in Chinese Queer Fandoms
Ø The Transgressiveness, Multivalence, and Constructedness of Masculinities and Femininities in Chinese Fan-Made Queer Productions
Ø Violence, Abuse, and Aggressiveness in Chinese Fan-Made Queer Productions
Ø The Interplay of the Boom of Boys' Love/Slash and/or Girls' Love/Femslash Industries, Fans' Passions for Queering and Queerness, and the Commercialization of and Censorship on Queer Media in Greater China
We are only interested in academic analytic papers grounded in certain critical/theoretical perspectives that have NOT been published elsewhere.
To submit chapter proposal submissions for consideration, please send a 1000- to 1500-word abstract (outlining the topic, methods, and fan-related materials used) with working bibliography and a CV to the book editors at email@example.com by May 30th, 2014.
Acceptance will be handled on a rolling basis till the end of July, 2014. Early submissions are strongly encouraged.
Completed, well-polished papers from accepted contributors should run between 5,000 to 8,500 words and are expected before the end of December, 2014.

Founded in 1991, Habitat for Humanity of the Magic Valley was formed as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International serving Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln, Minidoka and Twin Falls Counties in South-Central Idaho.
Our Mission
Our mission is to work in partnership with God and people from all walks of life, to grow people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are simple, decent and affordable houses in the Magic Valley, and beyond, in which every person can experience God's love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
The Need
In Twin Falls County, 14.5% of the population lives in poverty. That is over 10,000 people, including more than 2,000 children which is more than the combined attendance of both of Twin Falls' High Schools! Many of those in poverty have sub-standard housing. Sub-standard housing is defined as housing that is overcrowded, unsafe, non-existent (for the homeless) or too expensive (spending over 30% of the family's income on housing). According to the latest census numbers, 3,563 households live in sub-standard housing in Twin Falls alone. The total for the United States is 95 million people who have housing problems – almost a third of the country. But we can and are making a difference. Here in the Magic Valley, we have helped over 30 families get into simple, decent and affordable homes. Nationally, Habitat has helped tens of thousands.
The problem is not limited to our country- it is global. World wide, 1.6 billion people live in sub-standard housing and 100 million are homeless. That is why Habitat for Humanity is not just a local effort but a global one. Every Habitat Affiliate in the United States, including Habitat for Humanity of the Magic Valley, tithes 10% of all the donations we receive to Habitat International to help build homes in the developing world. To date, Habitat for Humanity International has built over 600,000 homes world wide. Habitat for Humanity of the Magic Valley's tithe has built 30 homes outside of the United States, in addition to the homes we have built here in Idaho.

Daddy, take my hand in yours and you will plainly see
How very much I need you now to love and care for me.
As my little hand grows, I will need you even more.
Everything I do in life, I have never done before.
Teach me to be kind and loving, sharing and forgiving.
Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living.
The years will pass by quickly and one day I will be grown,
I will pass what you have taught me onto children of my own.
Hold me always in your thoughts and remember when we are apart,
The special love between a child and a daddy's heart.
(Author unknown)
Daddies are so special inour childrens' lives, let's make sure we tell them on this special occasion!
Happy Father's Day to all the Daddies out there!!

Samoens Resort Reviews
Visitor reviews for Samoens Ski Resort
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
December 07, 2018
Lynne from United Kingdom
There has been huge investment in the Grand Massif lift system over the last few seasons which continues. This has opened up new ski slopes and is helping to reduce queues at previous bottlenecks.
Yes, half-term is busy but isn't everywhere in France and Italy during these periods.
This is such an extensive ski area close to Geneva and it's very possible to drive to Les Gets and ski the Portes de Soleil and Chamonix if you wish.
A really pretty typical working French village with lots for non-skiers to do with lovely valley walks and an extensive animation programme during the season.
Yes, the lift to 1600 can get busy especially if there are lots of skiers coming for the day from Geneva on the weekend. However, there are plans to build a new lift to alleviate this in the next few years.
We have been coming here for 23 years and still love it today.
We've seen many changes, most for the better and yes, a few more manners from some wouldn't go amiss but the same can be said for all nationalities.
We'll keep returning especially for the skiing and amazing summer.

Timothy from United Kingdom
2018: What a fabulous year. Tons of snow lasting the whole season and the vast majority of pistes open until the end of April. Many new lifts replacing the old ones. A new, long ski run at Colouvrier with a new fast chair to the top of Le Saix. A very diverse ski area with plenty of links into Flaine, Morillon and Les Carroz. The brilliantly long piste from the top of Flaine through to Sixt with a bus trip back to Samoens is always a challenge, even for accomplished skiers. Very few queues, even in the peak of the season and brilliant views of the local mountains.
January 24, 2018
Susan Simpson from France
Samoens has recently expanded its accommodation considerably and invested in the lift system. How unfortunate then that they have allowed the ski bus system to deteriorate so badly. Frequency of buses has been reduced. Two lines have been merged so that the trip to the gondola can take three times as long. Worst of all, the buses do not even seem to attempt to run to the timetable shown at every bus stop. The result is skiers are frequently waiting half an hour for a bus. If Samoens wants to keep attracting tourists, it needs to get them to the lift system, which is outside the village, quickly and regularly. Otherwise, they will never fill all the accommodation.
April 15, 2017
Roland Slee from United Kingdom
Samoens is a lovely resort spoilt only by hoards of ignorant British people who refuse the basic common courtesies of even attempting to use a little French in saying 'please' or 'thank you'. I have total support and a complete understanding of the indigenous (French) people and their agents (many of whom are English!) in exploiting them to the full - whether that be over exorbitant property prices or basic service.

Caldwell extended family from France
4th visit to Samoens/Morillon over 8 years. Big changes in the last year; becoming quite commercial, extensive expansion especially at 1600 (2 new hotel complexes such a shame, not sure what to expect next year!) However, still trying to maintain some of its charm. Enjoyed every moment spent with family and friends. Be back next year. Hopefully, it will still be keeping its little bout of French charm

C roberts from United Kingdom
Just back from a fab trip to Samoens for 4 days. Wasn't too sure about the access to the slopes but the Grand Massif Express gets you up to the ski area in no time at all, coupled with the efficient ski bus system looping the village every 15 mins it was not a problem .Good tip is to hire a locker at the top and go up and down in your comfy shoes. Great link up with Flaine; 2 lifts and you're over. Had a blue sky day in the bowl and with no lift queues anywhere it was a joy. Stayed at the Gai Soliel in Samoens; nice rooms, hospitality etc. Would recommend to anyone. Only downside, as with all ski holidays to France, is the rip off prices on the mountain. It borders on taking the mick sometimes but the convenience of the quick transfers and the great ski area more than make up for paying 4 quid for a coffee. Finally, a mention for Go Massif Transfers. They run their mini buses from Geneva; polite staff and reliable and thanks to our driver who got us to the airport just in time after a crash on the motorway led to a diversion around a longer route.

We have just spent New Year in Samoens; booked through Alps Accommodation. One day, the Sunday before NY was really busy (probably due to fresh snow and a lot of people from Geneva). The next day was also fairly busy and then the rest of the week there wasn't really any queuing to get on the lifts and if there was it was very quick. New Year's day seemed empty. The lift passes were reasonable as were the restaurants to eat out. We have been in the summer and that is fantastic too. It is a 'chocolate box' village and was a better kept secret until the article in the Telegraph. We are going back in March.

I have to disagree very strongly with the overall sweeping statements about the area being overwhelmed and too busy with long lift queues.
We have had a chalet in Samoens since 2005 and ski here all season from December to April.
Apart from New Year week and some school holiday periods in February, the resort is pretty much deserted. It can be busier some weekends as day trippers come to ski but midweek it's very quiet.
Just be aware of the busy periods and book accordingly. All resorts are busy at New Year and half-term. Christmas week, much less so.
There are new lifts put in every year.
If you require transfers from Geneva, please look up Go Massif Transfers to Flaine, Morillon, Les Gets, Samoens etc. Very frequent and inexpensive. We have used them for 8 years and highly impressed by the standard of service. Rates vary from shared to private transfer.
You can even book your lift passes online with Grand Massif to prevent queuing at the lift. The season pass is an absolute bargain at around 439 Euro from Decenber to April. That's a 50% discount! 254 Euro for up to 17 yrs.
We love this area and after skiing all over the Alps for 40 years, wouldn't be any place else. Samoens is beautiful both winter and especially in summer having been awarded special French heritage status.
Certainly one of the better kept secrets rather than the average soulless purpose built resorts.

We love Samoens, winter, spring, summer & autumn - the village has everything during all seasons, and if you are in need of city life, just go into Geneva or Annecy for a change.
Samoens is still a 'proper' village, with outlying farms, farm buildings and one sees plenty of cattle and sheep - there is still some 'history'.
We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Mark from France
A very pretty village and the ski area links well with the whole Grand Massif. Can be busy at school holiday times particularlry if tied to ski school - but low season is a dream. The mountain restaurants are excellent. We liked it so much we moved here.

AIDS Prevention and Services: Community Based Research
AIDS Prevention and Services: Community Based Research
This volume has been five years in the making. In the process, some of the policy applications called for have met with limited success, such as free needle exchange programs in a limited number of American cities, providing condoms to prison inmates, and advertisements that depict same-sex couples. Rather than dating our chapters that deal with such subjects, such policy applications are verifications of the type of research demonstrated here. Furthermore, they indicate the critical need to continue community based research in the various communities threatened by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)--for these are innumerable and varied in their specific configurations--so that effective programs might be designed, based on the realities lived by the community members and not on the ideological or theoretical bent of central administrators.
The difficulty in completing this volume owes largely to the fact that many contributors were and are immersed in community projects. The most often found excuse for missing chapter deadlines was that writing was lower on the list of priorities than working with people who needed help immediately. That need has not let up. The second was that the time was needed to work on grant applications, since grants were needed to enable the project to continue financially and their writing constantly taxes the time of project administrators. Indeed, some chapters that would have undoubtedly enhanced this volume were not completed, and not included here, for these very reasons. Most notably is one on the San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium, which coordinates clinics in developing AIDS treatment, health maintenance, and prevention programs, based in communities as diverse as the Hispanic, African American, intravenous (IV) drug using, and the homeless. This book stands as a testament to the work of so many who are involved in community based organizations and the sacrifice of their time it took to complete. It is especially an acknowledgment . . .

King of Prussia, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/28/2017 -- On November 11th, the Lancaster branch of ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists held a holiday party for associates.
Before the party began, ImageFIRST treated the female associates to a complimentary makeover. At the beginning of the day, students from the Lancaster County Career and Technology Cosmetology class came into the office. The breakroom was turned into a salon where the women could get their hair, nails, and makeup done for the event.
Danielle Miller, the office manager, explained, "This made the associates feel really special to get all dolled up for the event. This part of the day was a huge hit; we had many female associates attend." She added, "They all left very excited to spend the night feeling pretty with their ImageFIRST family."
Later in the day, the celebration began. It was held at a banquet hall at The Eden Resort in Lancaster, PA. At the party, associates dressed up in formal attire, danced, and spent time with each other outside of work. The event included dinner, a DJ, and raffle prizes.
"Thanks to this event, our associates were able to come together in a non-working environment and spend time getting to know each other and the management staff. We had a remarkable turn out for a Saturday night," said Miller.
Miller also added that the event was held well ahead of the holiday season so as not to conflict with associates' personal commitments.
ImageFIRST partners with medical facilities, offering medical linen products as well as comprehensive linen inventory management services so that staff can focus solely on providing patient care. The company places associates at the heart of ImageFIRST's Purpose, and encourage them to live the Values of being respectful, remarkable, safe, and honest.

Sunday Morning Program
During the Sunday Morning Program (SMP) our young people engage with stories of faith, exploring them through games, songs, prayers and art making activities.
Our approach is invitational and relational: We ask wondering questions together, inspired by the practice of Godly Play.
Three SMP groups operate on Sundays during term times– Prep-2, Grades 3-6, Years 7-10. A wonderful group of people offer their time as teachers and assistants.
Everyone rejoins the rest of the congregation at morning tea.
All Age Worship
On the first Sunday of the month we have All Age Worship (AAW) and children and young people stay in the service to share Holy Communion. On these Sundays there are quiet art-making activities inside the church and children of all ages participate.
In August 2015 AAW we celebrated two years since the report Pathways to the River was commissioned by the congregation. It addressed the future shape of children's and youth ministry at Brunswick UC. The children made these outriggers designed by one of our leaders. The words on the sails reflect the promises we make at Baptism to:
- nurture one another in faith
- uphold one another in prayer
- encourage one another in service
Activities after Worship
After worship we play table tennis, have fun with hulahoops, create pavement art with chalk, blow bubbles and make and fly paper planes. Our wonderful green space is also great for kicking a ball around. Lots of fun for everyone.
Nourish is an occasional series of early evening storytelling and Holy Communion services. Designed with younger children in mind it is nevertheless a wondering space for adults also. We gather for toasties at 6pm, have fun playing games in the hall and take our shoes off to enter the worship space to listen and respond to a story and then celebrate Holy Communion around the table.
Look out for dates for a Nourish program coming soon.
- Culture of Safety – Brunswick Uniting Church is committed to creating and sustaining a culture of safety in our gatherings and activities for children, young people and vulnerable adults.
- Pathways to the River

Women in Ethiopia make up 49.54% of the population of 74 million. The situation of Ethiopian women has progressed over the past decade on most fronts. Women's representation in the political decision making has improved, as evidenced by the increase of women representatives in the national legislative house from 14% in 2000, to 21% in 2005 and 29% in 2010.
A great majority of the discriminatory laws that have been in force for decades were revised and replaced with more progressive laws that respect, protect and fulfil the rights of women.
Negative norms and traditional practices that affect the wellbeing of women and girls have shown a declining trend. In terms of social indicators, primary education is one area where the gender gap is closing, while secondary and tertiary education often leave a lot to be desired.
In other areas such as health, participation in secondary and tertiary education, employment and access to and control over economic resources, progress has been slow.
We employ a twin-track approach to undertake women development initiatives. Firstly, there is a standalone approach that focuses on issues affecting women, like violence against women. Secondly, there is the mainstreamed approach where women development purposes are embedded in the other thematic priorities of education, HIV/AIDs and Primary Health Care, and food security and emergency responses.
Combating Violence Against Women and Harmful Traditional Practices (HTPs)
Women in Ofla DA
In all the communities where we operate, women and girls are subject to some form of violence and harmful traditional practices (HTPs). Some of the common forms of HTPs are child marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM) and polygamy.
We've been working to empower women and girls to abandon or resist such practices as well as to get organized and play a vigilant role against HTPs.
These organized women groups educate and sensitise community members, in addition to helping survivors of violence seek redress for their grievances.
Recognising the role traditional and religious leaders play in shaping the behaviour and attitude of people in communities, we engage extensively with such leaders.
Similarly, schools and formal institutions such as police, court, health institutions and others have been targeted with capacity building support and awareness raising
Economic Empowerment
As in most parts of the world, Ethiopian women's access to economic opportunities is limited. With minimal access to formal employment, they are highly concentrated in small scale, self-initiated and administered businesses, commonly referred to as 'the informal sector'.
With our objective of targeting the poorest of the poor, we widely engage in organising women into self help groups and providing them with technical and financial support to engage in income generating activities.
This initiative is mainly addressed under our food security theme. The women development theme focuses in generation and dissemination of knowledge and information as well as the replication of best practices.
We undertake our women development initiatives in partnership with government and non-government organisations working at local, regional (provincial) and national levels.
We're also a member of different level networks and forums working on women's issues. These partners and networks include the following:
- Women in Self Employment (WISE)
- Network of Ethiopian Women Associations (NEWA)
- Bright Image for Generation Ethiopia (BIGA)

A Short list of some of the best articles on WATERLOO to appear, over the years, in the General
While compiling material for previous posts on AFRIKA KORPS and STALINGRAD, I found myself continually getting sidetracked into reading unrelated past General articles on WATERLOO as well as a number of the other Avalon Hill "classics." I had forgotten how interesting some of these old write-ups could be.
Since a few of you actually seemed to enjoy the two previous posts: "the General looks at AFRIKA KORPS" and "the General looks at STALINGRAD," I have decided to go ahead with another short list of some nearly-forgotten articles that appeared, many years ago, between the covers of the General. So here is the latest installment in what I hope will become an ongoing series on the "best of the best" pieces from the old issues of the General. This short collection, in my opinion, includes some of the most interesting and entertaining articles on WATERLOO analysis, game variants, and Series Replays ever to see print. And speaking of Series Replays: although this sample "Replay" is a little cringe-worthy, it is still interesting because of the two, well-known adversaries and also because of the number of mistakes and rules illegalities that crept into the game.
So let me repeat my previous strong recommendation: To those of you who still have a collection of Generals gathering dust somewhere in their closet, or who have a friend who has a lifetime's stash of old gaming magazines stacked up in his game room, this list is for you. Even if you read these articles a long time ago, I urge you to go back and give them another look. You might even find it hard to close the covers of some of these old Generals once you start turning through their pages!
For no particular reason, I have arranged this list in chronological order, from the oldest to the most recent.
- Jerry Pournelle's "Simulating the Art of War: Updating WATERLOO," in the General, Vol. 8, No. 2 (Jul-Aug 1971) in which the author proposes an extensive and even radical overhaul to the standard rules of WATERLOO in the pursuit of greater simulation realism and a better game
- Harley Anton's classic six-part treatise "Campaign at WATERLOO," in the General, Vol. 9, Nos. 4 – 6, and the General, Vol. 10, Nos. 1 – 3; in which the author presents the most detailed and comprehensive analysis of the different aspects of WATERLOO play ever to be published under one title in the General
- A "Series Replay: WATERLOO," featuring Bruno Sinigaglio (French) and Rob Beyma (P.A.A.) with neutral commentary provided by Harley Anton (after his previously published opus, who else would dare?), in the General, Vol. 11, No. 2 (Jul-Aug 1974) which, besides being an example of some very eccentric WATERLOO play, also demonstrates just how tough a time the French can have if the P.A.A. are allowed to beam their troops onto the battlefield
- Robert Sledge's innovative and quite interesting variant "WATERLOO – The 1704 Version," in the General, Vol. 11, no. 5 (Jan-Feb 1975) provides all of the additional rules, deployment instructions, Turn Record Chart, and Order of Battle information necessary to begin the play of a "might have been" War of the Spanish Succession battle in 1705 between Marlborough and the French Marshal Villeroy using the WATERLOO map and counters
- Thomas E. Hilton's article "Second Thoughts: A Briefing on the Changes in the New WATERLOO Rules …," the General, Vol. 13, No. 1 (May-Jun 1976) offers a thoughtful and thankfully brief explanation for the rules changes that were part of the then new 2nd Edition WATERLOO Rules
- Elwood Carlson's long-overdue variant, "East of Waterloo: A Wavre Scenario," in the General, Vol. 15, No. 4 (Nov-Dec 1978) which provides all the information necessary to simulate French Marshal Grouchy's unlucky campaign against Marshal Blücher's retreating Prussians
- Elwood Carlson's very intriguing "Crossing the Sambre: WATERLOO from the Beginning," the General, Vol. 17, No. 2 (Jul-Aug 1980) which offers an extensive "state of the art" overhaul to the regular WATERLOO rules, as well as providing all of the information necessary either to play "Crossing the Sambre" as a free-standing scenario, or as an extension to the full game by beginning play on the 15th of June rather than on the 16th
As is always the case when you try to compile one of these "compendia," there are many articles that didn't make it into this list, not because they weren't worth reading, but mainly because I wanted to provide a representative cross-section of different types of essays, and really didn't want to publish too many pages of article citations in the same post.
And by the way, for those of you who don't have any old Generals lying around, there are always copies surfacing on eBay so, given a little time, you should still be able to track most, if not all, of these gems down.

NBA refs facilitate Tony Parker's injury
Tony Parker is out indefinitely with a sprained ankle — an unnecessary injury that occurred Friday night (March 1) after refs Curtis Blair, Brian Forte and Ed Malloy failed to blow the whistle on either of Parker's consecutive palming violations as he weaved his way up court. A second or two later he elevated and came down on the foot of Sacramento King Isaiah Thomas, rolling his ankle in the process. Ironically, by helping Parker and the Spurs by ignoring both the left carry and the right carry, the refs set Parker up for an injury that could put him out for weeks, possibly costing the Spurs homecourt advantage in the Western Conference, which could spell the difference between victory and defeat in a playoff rematch with the Oklahoma City Thunder. [UPDATE: The Spurs have announced that Parker will be out of action for "approximately four weeks."]
