Microsoft on Friday denied that it had agreed to start sharing Skype user data with the Russian police. But it might be required to do so when new anti-terrorism legislation is adopted.
Russia media had reported that Microsoft-owned Skype said it might be required to start sharing Skype user data with Russian authorities if recent draft legislation is approved.
But Microsoft hasn't made such a statement, a Microsoft spokesman said via email.
"Microsoft has not commented on draft legislation in the Russian State Duma or committed to share customer data with the Russian authorities. We have clear principles in responding to legal demands for customer information from governments around the world and we review the applicability of any new laws given that many of our Internet services don't store or process data locally," he said.
The State Duma, Russia's lower house, is currently reviewing three new anti-terrorism bills that were introduced on Wednesday.
One of the bills introduced to the State Duma would require websites, content providers and search engines as well as companies "organizing information exchange" between users to store all the information about their users for six months, The Moscow Times reported. The data would be made available to law enforcement agencies upon request, the paper said.
The newly proposed legislation however is potentially a serious privacy threat, said Vladimir Medeyko, director of Wikimedia Russia, via instant message. Wikimedia Russia was one of the companies that protested the introduction of a law that gives Russian authorities the power to blacklist websites that was adopted in July 2012.
While people are voicing their concerns online, protesting the bill, companies aren't really worried about the proposals because it doesn't seem to mean a big change for them, Medeyko said. While there is no data retention period for social networks right now, many services currently keep logs for as long as three years, he said. Three years is the general period of limitation of civil legal actions in Russia and companies want to keep the logs in order to better defend themselves in case they are sued, Medeyko said.
"Frankly, I still have a hope that there won't be limit on cryptography" if the bills pass, he said, adding that Russians may still use encryption technology like Tor or VPN. "And as long as we can keep encrypting, we still have some freedom."

Egyptian demonstrators clash over draft constitution
CAIRO -- Muslim clerics urged worshippers to vote "yes," while thousands of supporters and opponents of a controversial draft constitution filled the streets of Cairo on Friday in dueling protests on the eve of a referendum on the charter that has left the country deeply polarized.
The draft has pitted Egypt's newly empowered Islamists against the country's mainly secular liberals, minorities such as Christians and a large sector of moderate Muslims. Liberal and secular activists charge that it opens the door to rights abuses and Islamist domination.
Both sides stepped up their campaign in favor and against the constitution after weeks of violence and harsh divisions that have turned Saturday's vote into a stark choice on whether Egypt takes a major step toward theocratic rule after the rise to power of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood.
Religious authorities had issued orders that mosques should not be used to manipulate the vote, but several clerics, especially in conservative southern areas, took to the pulpit to tell their congregations that voting in favor of the constitution is seeking victory for Islam.
"Voting yes is like jihad for the sake of god," Sheik Abdel-Akher Hamad told worshippers in the southern city of Assuit. "It preserves Egypt from evils and from those who want to sabotage Islam and Muslims."
The crisis, which began Nov. 22 when President Mohammed Morsi, who is backed by the Brotherhood, issued decrees, since rescinded, giving himself and an Islamist-led constitutional assembly immunity from judicial oversight so the draft charter could be finalized before an expected court ruling dissolving the assembly.
Morsi, who took office in June after a narrow victory in the country's first free elections, joined weekly Friday prayers at the el-Farouk mosque near his house in northern Cairo and left without giving a speech.
The cleric at his mosque remained neutral.
"Those who think that rejecting or approving the constitution is the path to heaven or hell is mistaken," he said, referring to a slogan constitution supporters have used. "No one rules whether someone goes to heaven or hell but God almighty."
But in many ways, the pros and cons of the draft constitution have been overshadowed by the worst crisis to hit Egypt since the overthrow nearly two years ago of Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime. With killings and mass street protests defining the past three weeks, newspaper and TV commentators have warned of a country moving toward civil strife and a schism that may not be bridged.
The crisis also has united the long fractured opposition, which had considered boycotting the referendum but instead officially launched a campaign Thursday calling on voters to go to the polls and reject it.
Mostly liberal and secular protesters opposed to the charter marched on the presidential palace Friday chanting against what they called "the Brotherhood constitution."
The densely written document was passed by an 85-member constituent assembly composed of mostly Islamists earlier this month. Morsi rushed it to a vote scheduled for the next two Saturdays.
Earlier, liberals and church representatives withdrew from the panel drafting the charter, protesting the efforts of its Islamists to pass articles and embed others with clauses they feared could usher in a theocracy.
The opposition took out advertisements in newspapers and on television detailing their arguments against the charter. The Morsi camp's message was far simpler. A "Yes" to the constitution is a yes to Islam.
Sheik Mohammed Sayyed, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, put it bluntly during prayers at the el-Helali mosque elsewhere in Assuit. "Tomorrow is the day we will seek victory of Islam," he said.
"The first phase of implementing Shariah (Islamic law) is the election of a Muslim president. The second phase is to hold referendum on the constitution," he said, urging voters to go to the polls in groups. "Those calling themselves liberals and salvation of Egypt, are saboteurs who sabotage Egypt."

Electronic FPS Laser Battle Jacket
Create your own live-action game
- Play an electronic shooting game with a friend
- Includes 1 jacket, 2 blasters, 2 targets
- 3 different modes: PvP, Frag Tag, or Deathmatch
Our favorite video games are those that let you decide how to solve puzzles. Are you the type who runs in, guns blazing? Or do you prefer to hide in the shadows and fire off the one round that brings down the enemy? Make that video game decision for real with this Electronic FPS Laser Battle Jacket pack.
Each pack comes equipped with one Jacket plus two Blasters and two Targets, so you can go head-to-head right away with PvP. With just one pack, you can also opt to play Frag Tag, which designates one of you as the hunter and the other as the hunted. If you purchase two packs, you can play Deathmatch, where each player gets two Blasters for twice the fun and destruction. Muhahahaha.
But wait! Curtail the evil laugh, because there's more! These Blasters we keep talking about (two of which come with your purchase of a single pack)? They each have two different settings: a high-powered Plasma Cannon and a quick-fire Ion Blaster. The Plasma Cannon drains your power, but it does two points of damage. The Ion Blaster lets you fire more shots, but it only does one point of damage. So what'll it be? It's an old-school English Fleet vs. the Spanish Armada-style brawl. Two will enter. One will win. Will it be you?

On December 17, 2013, Pope Francis declared that Peter Faber is a Saint! His life, his work in spiritual direction and priestly ministry is a witness for all people of good will to follow.
Below is the announcement that came from the Jesuit Curia in Rome on the day of his canonization. You can also read the letter from Father General Adolfo Nicolas, S.J., "To The Whole Society."
Additional links to other information on St. Peter Faber can be found below .......
Digital News Service SJ
Vol. XVII, No. 28 | 17 December 2013
From the Curia
Peter Faber is a Saint
Peter Faber has been declared a saint today December 17th . Pope Francis has canonized one of the first companions of St. Ignatius extending his devotion to the universal Church. This is a so-called "equipollent" (equal in force) canonization in which the Pope, by his authority, extends the worship and liturgical celebration of a saint to the universal Church, after having fulfilled certain conditions established by Pope Benedict XIV (1675-1758). This practice was used by Pope Francis himself on October 9 for the canonization of Blessed Angela from Foligno and by his predecessors Benedict XVI, John Paul II, John XXIII, among others.
The canonization of Blessed Peter Faber holds a special meaning because he is a model of spirituality and priestly life of today's Pope and at the same time an important reference to understand his style of government. Faber lived on the crest of an era when the unity of the Church was undermined and he remained essentially alien to doctrinal dispute, directing his apostolate to the reform of the Church and becoming a pioneer of ecumenism. How much his example is rooted in the pastoral horizon of Pope Francis is felt in the synthetic portrait he made in the interview he gave to La Civiltà Cattolica, revealing some essential aspects of his personality: "His dialogue with everybody, even the most remote and even with his opponents; his simple piety, a certain naiveté perhaps, his immediate availability, his careful interior discernment, the fact that he was a man capable of great and strong decisions but also of being so gentle and loving, loving."
The aspect of Faber is that of a contemplative in action, a man attracted to Christ, passionate about the cause of the brothers, experienced in discerning the spirits, devoted to the priestly ministry with patience and mildness, offering himself without expecting any human reward. Faber meets God in all things and everywhere, even the most cold and hostile settings. In his Memoriale, which is one of the main documents of the spirituality of the early Society of Jesus, his life is conceived as a journey, a journey through the various regions of Europe following the example of Christ: traveling for obedience, always alert to make God's will and not his own.
Father Adolfo Nicolás, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, expresses these same aspects in a letter to the whole Society on the same day.

Checkup on Health: Go outside to cure the winter blues
It's the middle of winter, and we're surrounded by cloudy skies and cold weather. It's no wonder that some people just want to hibernate indoors. Many of us experience the "winter blahs" – a depressed mood that lifts when the sun comes out in spring. A small percentage actually have a recognized psychiatric condition called seasonal affective disorder (SAD), characterized by symptoms of depression during the dark, winter months.
Most of us don't consider how much brighter it is outside than inside unless we are taking photographs indoors and realize we need a flash, or we are hunting for our sunglasses for a trip to the beach. There are many examples of plants and animals with sensitivities to such variation in light intensity. Think of roosters who crow at dawn or houseplants that won't flower unless they're near the proper window. It should come as no surprise that humans also need certain light requirements to thrive.
About the author
Dr. Servis is a professor of clinical psychiatry and vice chair of the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
Common symptoms
In addition to mood disturbances, people with SAD tend to feel extremely fatigued in the winter months and need more sleep than usual. They also commonly crave carbohydrates and put on weight, often shedding the extra pounds in spring.
The disorder affects about 2 to 5 percent of people in the U.S, and interestingly, is even more common in northern regions of the globe, where daylight hours are shorter. Some sufferers of other kinds of emotional disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome and bulimia nervosa, a eating disorder, also show seasonal variations. Such patterns may go unrecognized: improvement in the spring is often attributed to treatment success, and worsening symptoms in the fall or winter may be regarded as random recurrences.
Light exposure helps, natural or not
Not surprisingly, the most effective treatment found for SAD is to increase exposure to light. People with mild to moderate symptoms benefit from more time outdoors in the winter, perhaps with a daily walk or eating lunch on a park bench. Another way to increase daily exposure is to adjust sleep schedules. People can take full advantage of available daylight by awakening earlier in the morning.
For those who aren't helped by these measures or who have more severe symptoms, talk with a doctor. The next step is artificial light therapy, which has been found to be as effective as medications in helping this disorder.
The standard medical treatment for SAD is a TV-sized light box, containing fluorescent bulbs behind a protective filter. These boxes, which cost in the range of $200 to $500 (and are sometimes available to rent), are covered by an increasing number of insurance companies. They emit 2,500 to 10,000 lux (a term used to quantify brightness), which is about equivalent to the outdoor light of dawn or dusk. Illumination in homes and offices is about 500 lux.
Treatment for SAD typically involves daily sessions in front of a light box for a period of 15 minutes to 2 hours. Some studies indicate that light therapy in the morning is more effective than at other times of the day. Most people begin to feel benefits after only a few days. Antidepressant medications, by comparison, often takes a few weeks for improvement to be noted.
Some SAD sufferers are not good candidates for light therapy. Although no evidence of eye damage has been reported, it is of potential concern. Those with certain eye conditions such as macular degeneration or a diabetes-related eye problem should avoid it.
Some people report headache, nausea, dizziness and excitability after light therapy. Usually such side effects are mild and short-lived, and patients can continue treatment. Mood swings may also develop, but can be avoided with careful dosing and timing of therapy with the help of a physician.
When light doesn't help
For those who don't find relief with either more time outdoors or in front of a light box, counseling and medications can also be effective, sometimes in combination with light therapy. Medications in the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac, seem to work best.
Several studies are finding other interesting correlations between light and health. Light therapy has also shown promising results for depression without discernable seasonal patterns, premenstrual syndrome and eating disorders. It may also play a role in helping those with altered circadian rhythms due to shift-work, jet lag and disrupted sleep cycles.
For most people, the solution to winter blues is no further than out the front door. A daily walk outdoors can not only make us feel better mentally, but provide a myriad of other health advantages we can benefit from throughout the year.

A Bay Weekly conversation with Vinnie Bevivino, the mastermind of Chesapeake Compost Works
Give me your trash! says Vinnie Bevivino, the mastermind of Chesapeake Compost Works, of the organic and biodegradable material taking up 20 to 30 percent of all landfills.
Chesapeake Compost Works — begun in 2010 as a 40-page business plan and a drawing — has risen as a 55,000-square-foot warehouse in Baltimore's Curtis Bay. At full capacity by year's end, 60 tons of compost will be cured there every day.
Bevivino — a 31-year-old whose degree from the University of Maryland is in Environmental Science and Policy — quit his job to build his dream plant. It's just opened, and we're touring the start-up, beginning with a fresh pile of just-delivered food scraps.
When did this idea flash on?
I was managing a non-profit urban farm in Prince George's County that was composting a ton of material a week. That taught me the demand for composting services.
Restaurants, brewing companies and tree trimming companies were calling us. I realized composting isn't just the right thing to do for the environment and a smart way of dealing with our waste. There is a lot of money in composting. It's a new, undeveloped sector of how we manage our waste.
That pile looks like it's fresh off the plate.
This pile looks like mostly cooked food. Another might be mostly raw veggies.
What's the raw material of your compost?
We're dealing with food waste.
We have this huge untapped section of landfill waste not being addressed, even more so with businesses that we're dealing with now — grocery stores, commercial kitchens, restaurants, university cafeterias — that are throwing away tons and tons of material.
We can process that waste and turn it into a product.
How do you get businesses to give you their food waste?
Commercial businesses have to pay for trash pickup. They pay to have a dumpster. If they separate their waste into trash, recyclables and compost, they pay less for composting and recycling than they pay for landfills or incineration. We can process it and turn it into a product, where a landfill is just a one-way street. We're a cycle.
It's a financial incentive for the companies that we work with to do this, like Giant, Safeway or Johns Hopkins University.
Who's your supplier?
Waste comes to us from businesses all over. One of the haulers is Environlation, a company that has mulitple trucks picking up the toaters — which look like the trash cans most people use — from the backs of businesses all over the region. The hauler combines it all in one truck and brings it here to dump. They pick up from businesses all over Maryland: Anne Arundel, Prince George's, Howard, Baltimore Counties, Baltimore City, Washington, D.C.
Is Thanksgiving good to you?
I was just talking to a hauler who said the days after Thanksgiving are some of the busiest times. There is a lot of food moving in the world right now, and also, unfortunately, a lot of food that goes bad.
How often do your deliveries arrive?
Two times a day. For right now, we're just getting our feet wet, well I guess dirty, and composting small amounts in a really simple way.
Simple composting?
We take the scraps and combine it with wood chips that we get from BG&E tree trimming companies — about one part food waste and three parts wood chips — then add some water. We turn the piles every two weeks to help move the oxygen.
How do you know when a pile is done?
I compare composting to wine. When do you know when wine is done? The older, the better.
There are some uses for younger, less mature compost. One is using it as filter socks for stormwater management, which is really popular around the Chesapeake Bay.
If you want it for a potted plant, you probably want the compost to be very mature.
We're a couple of months from selling Chesapeake Compost.
What will you do with that black fluffy stuff?
We can mix the end product with different blends so we can make things like potting soil, topsoil or green-roof planting bed material. We plan on selling different products with this as the main ingredient. We will start with bulk, if people want a few yards dropped, then quickly move to bagged compost that we can sell at retail outlets. We can deliver that cleaner, and some people don't want a huge pile in their yard. They'd rather have nicely stacked bags.
Who's your market?
The best approach is having both high-value, low-quantity customers and high-quantity low-value customers. Landscapers buy thousands of yards at a time, so they don't pay a high price per yard. They help me get a lot of material out of here so I can get more material in.
Homeowners may want a bag, or a couple of yards at the most, and we'll charge more for small quantities.
Is your plan working?
I feel constantly reassured at the end of the day — when the blowers are costing more than I thought or something — that what we are doing here is the right thing. It's taken some time putting all the pieces together, but we stayed persistent and never gave up when things got tough.
When can I buy your compost?
Around Feburary 1. We haven't named it yet. I'm not going to call it compost because we want to show that it's different and better than other products on the market.
Thanks for reporting on this great new green business.
Nice job, Ashley.
And kudos and thanks to Vinnie, Adam and their team bringing Chesapeake Compost Works to southeast Baltimore.
Greg Smith

Reservation Dental Care Gets $3.3M Boost
SIOUX FALLS - Dental care specialists hope a $3.3 million federal grant will help improve oral health on the American Indian reservations in South Dakota.
Officials have hired seven dental hygienists to serve tribal members and plan to hire 15 health coordinators to provide support services, including public education.
The Argus Leader newspaper reports that the three-year grant for the "Circle of Smiles" project is from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to the Indian Health Service, the South Dakota Dental Association, the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board and the nonprofit insurer Delta Dental of South Dakota.
Delta Dental expects to contribute an additional $1 million for equipment, training and other expenses.

The Netflix app for iPhone received a nice little update last night that includes video out support. Yes, this means you are now able to use your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4 to send any streaming video content available on Netflix directly to your TV.
While jailbreakers have been able to take advantage of this feature for quite some time now, it's nice to finally have it "officially" supported.
If you've tried it out, let us know how it works for you.
UPDATE: for those asking how to get the video from iPhone to your TV, you need a pair of Apple AV cables or similar for that.

The courses offered by the Department of Foreign Languages are designed to develop in the student the ability to speak, write, read and understand a foreign language thus enhancing employment opportunities in a variety of occupations and contributing to the student's broad humanistic education by enriching appreciation and understanding of the cultures of other nations.
Knowledge of Spanish, especially in conjunction with another major, provides many opportunities for interesting and rewarding careers in the global economy. There are also opportunities in teaching as the demand for Spanish language instruction increases. An international focus is essential for the 21st century. Spanish is the language spoken in Spain, Mexico, and all the countries of South and Central America, except Brazil. It is also the first language of a large number of residents of the United States.
The objectives of the major program in Spanish are to increase the student's fluency in Spanish and to provide a broad understanding of Spanish and Spanish American cultures. This preparation provides the necessary background for careers in foreign language teaching, bilingual education, and the teaching of English as a second language, and for graduate study in such fields as library science and comparative literature. In conjunction with another area of specialization the competence gained in the Spanish major program will prepare the student for a career in fields such as government, health services, law enforcement, international business and commerce, accounting, law and communications.
A student may begin the study of Spanish at King's at the beginning level if necessary, but Spanish 145: Spanish Conversation & Composition I is the first course that counts for the major. If taken, Spanish 141-144 (Beginning and Intermediate Spanish) count as electives. Students are assisted in selecting the appropriate level at which to begin by a faculty member from the Language Department.
Spanish majors will plan their program in consultation with their major advisor in the Department of Foreign Languages and all decisions will be subject to the Chairperson's approval. A minor in Spanish is also available.
To recognize a student's superior achievement in foreign language study, the Department sponsors a chapter of Alpha Mu Gamma, a national collegiate foreign language honor society.
Study Abroad Option
Spanish majors are encouraged, although not required, to study for a summer, semester, or entire academic year in a country where Spanish is spoken. This is an excellent way to increase fluency in Spanish and acquire a firsthand knowledge of the culture. Students may choose from the numerous accredited programs sponsored by American colleges and universities in Spanish speaking countries, subject to prior approval by appropriate College officials. Students should consult with the Director of the Study Abroad Program and their major advisor in the Foreign Language Department for assistance in selecting a program suitable for their special interests and needs.
Degree Offered: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
Compatible Majors and Minors
The Spanish major can be combined with any other major. Many of the combinations are possible within the 120 credit graduation requirement. Others may require additional credits which can be acquired through summer study or a course overload during the regular semester. The following are examples of second majors which can be completed by Spanish majors. Minors, which require fewer courses, are also available in many of these areas:
- Accounting
- Biology
- Business Administration
- Computers and Information Systems
- Criminal Justice
- Elementary Education
- English
- French
- Health Care Administration
- History
- Human Resources Management
- International Business
- Marketing
- Mass Communications
- Political Science
- Psychology
- Theatre
Special Features
- Second major option
- Small classes conducted entirely in Spanish

|Contest for up to 20 BP ***EPISODE TWO ACCESS!!!!***
Having been inspired by The Biscuit Kid's Contest, I've decided to host a similar contest.
Here are the rules.
1. You must win this auction.
2. Upon winning this auction, you will receive BPs from me.
3. The number of BPs you will receive will be calculated based upon the amount of the winning bid.
A. 60 – 1,500,000 Flezz = 1BP
B. For every 1,500,000 above the first, you will receive another BP, up to a maximum of 20.
3 Million = 2 BP
4.5 Million = 3 BP
6 Million = 4 BP
And so on, up to the Maximum (30,000,000 Flezz = 20 BP)
I think those rules are simply enough, yes?
Good Luck.
MOD EDIT: 4-28-09 this contest was legal when it ran, but by current rules it is illegal. Contests can not be influenced by kyoubai purchases

You're offering a much better deal, though. For my contest to pay out 11 BP, they'd have to spend 16.5 Million. Yours is holding at 5.2 Million right now.

I don't blame you, but I think having a Flezz-for-BP contest is the start of everything people had been fearing would happen with the auctions. Essentially, you'll end up with a Lottery Winner account (at a lower price, I might add) without the cheat label.

Since when was 20 BP cheaper than a Lottery winner?

No sir. If my contest winner pays out 4.5 Million , they get 3 BP. That's actually 10% less than if I'd simply bought the with 3 BP. Additionally, I'm offering up to 20 BP If someone decides they want to buy $25 worth of BP for 30 Million (i.e., fictional money), and they believe it's a great deal for them, what's the harm?
People have been asking if they could trade in Flezz for BP for a long damn time. All I'm doing is facilitating the transfer, and helping to establish the going rate.
What if it turns out that the going rate for Flezz to BP stabilizes at 5 Million per? Then I just took a loss by being an early pioneer. In fact, I used the Lottery Winner as a guideline, and intentionally reduces the Flezz earnings to keep it reasonable.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to Do Residency in Las Vegas?
It sounds like country superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill might be taking a hiatus from their home in Nashville to spend a few months playing the strip in Sin City. Last week, the Las Vegas Sun reported that the country music power couple are close to signing a deal to play a series of weekend concerts from October 2012 through April 2013.
Of course, at this point, the news is all speculation. Robin Leach -- former host of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' -- is now a journalist for the Sun. He released the news of a supposed McGraw-Hill Las Vegas run after hearing that they are working on a deal to play several dates at an 1,800-seat theater on the strip.
If the king and queen of the honky tonk do end up signing the deal, they will be competing with Garth Brooks, who has a residency as a headliner at Steve Wynn's Encore Theater. Brooks has had a successful run in Sin City, but it's hard to say if his popularity can stand up to McGraw and Hill. Shania Twain is also planning to bring her country act to the strip, as she'll begin a two-year residency at Caesar's Palace in December.
For now, it's hard to say if these rumors are true, but we're hopefully. However, the husband/wife pair scrapped their plans for a tour together -- and it could be that they canceled their plans to make room for Vegas. In the meantime, McGraw is gearing up to tour with Kenny Chesney this summer.

A few more examples of this hard to find piece - the Brandy Warmer. I posted on this earlier.

The Story Behind this Blog
Being from the South, Silver is a very big part of my life. It doesn't have anything to do with wealth. Although those with more money - old money, tend to have more of it. New money tend not to spend their money on Silver. They do not have the appreciation for the warmth of the metal, the beauty of the patina, the story it tells of the generations past who have used it. A true southern girl comes of age when she chooses her silver pattern, long before she chooses her mate. If she is smart, she chooses that of her mother, grandmother, or favorite great aunt who in their benevolence will pass their silver on to her. It is the pieces in those sets, the pieces on our tables, along with the pieces we find in the corners of the displays in antique stores that prompted me to start this blog. They are beautiful, they are odd, but what are they, and what in the hell do you do with them?

text: Kate Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Dealing with Rape Fantasies as a Survivor of Sexual Violence © Pandora's Aquarium 2009 by Kate Fantasies are images or scenes that produce enjoyable feelings - they can range from brief thoughts or images to stories with detailed plotlines. They may deal with actual past experiences, purely imagined experiences, or a mixture of both. They can be non-sexual – e.g. fantasising about becoming a millionaire or being a world-famous rock star, and they can be sexual – fantasising about kissing your favourite celebrity, about having sex with a colleague or a friend, and so on. Some people fantasise during sex about being out-of-control or being forced to have sex against their will. There are many theories as to why people have rape fantasies and it is an area that is still very much taboo and hush-hush in society. Some people believe that having a rape fantasy means that the person fantasising wants to be raped, some people believe that fantasising about rape means you are masochistic, some people believe that a rape survivor should not find fantasising about rape sexually arousing. Many survivors working through their sexual healing who have rape fantasies experience a lot of shame and confusion – they may feel disgusted with themselves for having a rape fantasy, they may feel that enjoying fantasising about rape invalidates the trauma that they went through, they may question if they actually wanted to be raped and so on. This article will discuss some of the main questions about rape fantasies that a survivor of sexual violence may have and hopefully assist in helping the survivor to understand their fantasies without shame and judgement. Remember of course that human sexuality is highly individual and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to understanding why we fantasise about the things we do - it is unlikely that all people have rape fantasies for the same reason. Does fantasising about rape mean I wanted to be raped? Just like the general population, many survivors will have had rape fantasies before the abuse/assault occurred. Having these kinds of fantasies does not mean that the survivor wanted to be raped. Rape fantasies during sex can symbolise many things, but the difference between fantasy and reality is that in fantasy the survivor is totally in control of what happens and when it happens, whereas in an actual sexual assault there is absolutely no semblance of control whatsoever. The desire to be out-of-control in a sexual fantasy is in no way a desire to be raped in real life. Fantasies often serve as a "wish fulfilment" - for example, fantasising about somebody you are in love with, meeting your favourite celebrity and so on. This theory would suggest then that the person fantasising wants to be raped. However, this is a myth – commonly, the fantasy of "rape" barely resembles actual rape. More often than not, most people who have rape fantasies imagine a passionate scene with very little force, based around the "victim" being so desirable that the "rapist" cannot control themselves, while the victim generally does not feel the terror, confusion, rage and disgust of an actual rape. These kinds of fantasies are often termed "erotic rape fantasies" (Critelli & Bivona, 1998). The second type of rape fantasy that is generally discussed is an "aversive rape fantasy" - one which more realistically resembles actual rape and has themes of humiliation, violence and pain (Critelli & Bivona, 1998). While this type of rape fantasy is more realistic it is not an indication that the person fantasising wants to be raped. The "wish fulfulment" could very well be that the person desires a passionate sexual encounter, that they want to feel desirable, or have the relief of not having to be in control. If rape fantasies were a sign that the person fantasising wanted to be raped, it would be expected that there would be some relationship between having fantasies of rape and actually being raped, as while rape is always the choice of the rapist and never the victim's fault, there are decisions we make every day that can influence the possibility of being raped. This theory is not supported by statistics as it has been found that women who have rape fantasies are no more likely to be raped than women who don't (Gold et al., 1991; Gold & Clegg, 1990; Kanin, 1982). Does fantasising about rape mean that what happened to me wasn't that bad? Having a rape fantasy as a survivor in no way makes the brutality of what happened to you less valid. Rape is about power, control, shame, degradation, humiliation and so many other awful things. It was that bad. Fantasising about rape in the aftermath of sexual violence can in no way take away the reality and the validity of the brutal crime that was done to you. How can I find rape fantasies to be a turn-on after being abused? Having rape fantasies after rape and sexual abuse does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Many people, both male and female, have rape fantasies and enjoy them. It is difficult to get an exact number of how many people have rape fantasies as it is a very taboo subject, but research has shown that rape fantasies play a major role in the fantasy lives of one to two people in 10 (as a low-estimate) (Critelli & Bivona, 2008). As a survivor of rape, it can feel like a "betrayal" of your mind to have a rape fantasy, you can feel disgusted with yourself for being turned on by imagining rape. It seems though that for whatever reason, rape fantasies are a natural part of both male and female sexuality – just because you are a rape survivor does not mean that you somehow need to be held to a different standard than everybody else. Is having a rape fantasy "healthy" for me or does it mean I'm "perverted"? Simply having a rape fantasy is not necessarily "bad". As pointed out by Staci Haines (1999), there are no "right" or "wrong" fantasies. She advises survivors to avoid labelling their fantasies and instead focus on whether those fantasies impact on you negatively or positively. Her advice for whether a fantasy is affecting you negatively is to consider: Do you dissociate when you have a rape fantasy? Don't use fantasies to avoid being present with yourself or with your partner Don't practice being disembodied or dissociated when you are sexual. Fantasies can be a way to be present and embodied with your partner and can help to make your sex life richer. Do you have more than one fantasy? Is that fantasy the only way you can get turned on? Staci Haines (1999) considers it less important to analyse the content of the rape fantasy and more important to focus on whether that fantasy feels compulsive or a negative impact to your healing. She advises that part of sexual healing is to allow more flexibility into your thinking and more freedom in your sexual choices, regardless of the messages you received about what sex is. If your fantasy feels intrusive and uncontrollable try approaching it as a trigger and break it down the way you would any other kind of trigger. For many survivors, rape fantasies can be a powerful way of working through their memories and the dynamics of the abuse. They may recreate the assault or aspects of the sexual abuse in an attempt to take control over the past. They may use the fantasy to get closure on what happened to them. They may feel empowered by taking a memory of something that was done against their will and using those dynamics in a sexual fantasy. Regardless of the content of fantasies, the most important thing is to make sure that they are not negatively affecting the person fantasising. Having a rape fantasy as a rape survivor does not mean that you wanted it or that you're perverted. It's nothing to feel shame about or judge yourself for. Many, many people have rape fantasies and despite popular belief they haven't all been actually raped – there is no connection between having a rape fantasy and being a survivor of rape. It is a universal fantasy across all groups of people and all cultures. If you feel that your fantasies are negatively impacting you it is important to talk to a professional about it. Your sexual healing and sexual well-being is very important and you deserve to feel comfortable with yourself and your sexuality. To find a sex therapist contact www.aasect.org for a list of sex therapists in your area, or if you would prefer have a read through Finding a Therapist to learn how to find a trauma counsellor you feel comfortable with. As with any therapist, it is important to interview potential candidates to learn how much they know about working with survivors. Insurance doesn't generally cover sexual problems but as sex problems can lead to anxiety and depression, sex therapy can be covered when those kinds of diagnosis are made. Additionally, post-traumatic stress disorder is widely covered by insurance companies.

My first order. I had your Grits at the Berkly Hotel in Richmond VA last week, and the chef did an outstanding job. My wife would not eat grits until she tasted what he had done with them, and we are now gong to "try" to dupliate his dish.
Am a customer for close to 20 years. . . . . best grits anywhere!!!
Just wanted you to know, these are the best grits ever!!!
We've moved to Texas, but haven't found anything to match Byrd Mill grits. Glad you sell online!
I really like your products. I have been substituting the peanut flour for almond flour (I cannot eat tree nuts) in French pastry recipes. It works very well!
This is a gift to a friend in New York. She was raised in North Carolina, but has a daughter-in-law who doesn't know the wonderful joy of GOOD spoon bread.
I had your grits at the Pigeon Hole in Charlottesville yesterday and had to have some… I love all the extra grains in these grits! Looking forward to cooking with them,
Thanks –
Thanks for true grits.
From an old Virginia boy
I have been ordering this awesome flour consistently for almost 2 years now, thank you for a great product. Are there any coupon codes I could use for my next order?

The annual Philadelphia Fringe Festival is known for the kind of offbeat, non-traditional, non-mainstream performances that you'll never see on prime-time network television, but a Germantown family may outdo even the most bizarre performances of past years.
Vashti Dubois and her husband, Albert Stewart, who have been victims of the four-year-old recession, will be launching a show in their own home, the "Eviction-Proof PeepShow Home," as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14 and 15, 7:30 to 9 p.m., and Sept. 16, 3 to 4:30 p.m., at 4613 Newhall St. It is a one-act play in an unusual, if not unique, format that will include several other Northwest Philly residents. One might say the primary purpose for the show is to help the Stewart family stay in their home.
The Eviction-Proof PeepShow Home is a multi-disciplinary performance art project about a family fighting to stay in its home. According to Vashti, "It's a combination show home, peepshow, fire sale and protest. The show artfully tackles the issues of foreclosure and eviction in Philadelphia."
This pioneering "reality show" assembles artists, actors, musicians, photographers, etc., to illustrate the devastating impact of foreclosure on families and communities as seen from the viewpoint of the house. The story is told through a series of staged scenes and happenings throughout the three-story Victorian home. Visitors will visit each room, interacting with artwork, performers and the spaces they inhabit.
"The performance turns the concept of the 'show home' on its head," explained Vashti. "It plays with the concept of staging the 'residents facing eviction' at the request of the home."
The actual residents of the home are: an unemployed former foreclosure prevention specialist (how's that for cruel irony?), community organizer and musician; his wife, a social justice activist and artist who hasn't worked in almost three years, their 13-year-old son and 22-year-old daughter (also unemployed).
"I have been underemployed or unemployed as in no full time work for almost three years," explained Vashti. "After my last lucrative contract ended, the work just dried up. Occasionally I might get a call to work on a grant or do some development thinking, but it has not been a great time to be a middle-aged African American non-profit professional."
The family has essentially given up. They're preparing to move into whatever digs they can afford, but the house has other plans; it likes the family and decides to stage a peep show/rent party/fire sale to raise money and save the family from the streets.
The home is in poor shape, so it enlists the assistance of several artists to make it more presentable. The result is a mixture of carnival funhouse, theater of the absurd and Shakespearean tragedy rolled into one.
The story of the house and its residents is told through artwork and performances, transforming the home into a "living storyboard." Vashti says that "it casts both viewer and artist as first responder and eyewitness to one of the biggest tragedies of our time (home foreclosures and evictions)."
The experience will run for 90 minutes broken down into individual segments of 15 minutes each. Guests can stay in the home for one segment at a time; they must leave before the next segment begins, although they are welcome to pay a fee to re-enter. People will also be able to attend online for a fee.
After all, the house IS trying to raise money! Guests are also encouraged to participate in this fundraiser by purchasing tagged items; all offers are listened to.
Only on Friday night, Sept. 14, one of the performers at "PeepShow" will be Jennifer Blaine, a spectacularly talented Mt. Airy native who has performed a very funny and poignant one-woman show all over the area with several characters she has created, sort of like Lily Tomlin, Gilda Radner, Kristin Wiig, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.
"I will most likely be performing as Ruth, my elderly Jewish character with a penchant for dirty jokes," she told us. "She'll be talking about all the animals that are discovered in foreclosed homes and other things she is concerned about regarding foreclosure."
Despite her unemployed status, Vashti Dubois does run as a volunteer "Life with Books," a non-profit organization in North Philadelphia whose focus is literacy. It partners student volunteers, mostly from Temple University, with young people to read for 20 to 30 minutes every Tuesday through Friday.
Vashti will also be directing one other show in the Philly Fringe Festival titled "My Name is Sam Johnson," written by Cymande Lewis, another Germantown resident. "Sam Johnson," about a young woman who has been abused, will be performed Sept. 20, 21 and 22, 7:30 p.m., at the historic Germantown Theatre Center, 4821 Germantown Ave. "I love theater," said Vashti, "and believe that it has the power to both entertain and provoke."

In the world of design, the best ideas are often those which evolve as the world around them changes. As BBC Future begins a new four-week series called Imagineering - looking at the design and redesign of everyday objects - Jonathan Glancey looks at how great design often draws on what has gone before.
A year on from 9/11, I was dining at the Algonquin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. My companions were architects, engineers and designers. What they had in common was the fact that their work took them frequently from New York to Chicago. None was enamoured with the idea of flying. I suggested they band together and get a "21st Century Limited" – a glamorous sleeping car express complete with cocktail bar, gourmet restaurant, every digital convenience and a late night party guaranteed on every trip - onto the rails between Grand Central and Chicago's LaSalle Street stations. It would, of course, be steam hauled.
We toasted the idea, although when it came to steam power, I was accused, good-humouredly, of being a man of the past. Sure, trains had a future, but steam? Yes. Announced last year, the Minneapolis-based Coalition for Sustainable Rail [CSR] Project 130 is an attempt by international railway locomotive engineers and two environmental research departments at the University of Minnesota to shape a 130mph "carbon neutral" steam locomotive. This re-design of the steam engine will run on sustainably produced US timber, its exhaust will be very nearly as clean as that of a domestic kettle and it aims to be 50% cheaper to run than diesel-electrics. And, far from being stuck in the past, CSR team members are young, well informed and computer savvy. In fact, its President, Davidson Ward – an architecture graduate from the University of Minnesota – is just 25. He has been passionate about steam, he tells me, since he was two.
Will it happen? Maybe. One of the great strengths of the design world is its ability to look back at the past, at precedent, and to think of how we can move forward while learning from the past. In fact, designers and manufacturers around the world continue to look at existing designs and old technologies, wondering if they, too, might create if not a radically improved steam locomotive, then a better vacuum cleaner, mobile phone, electric plug or car.
'Bow to tradition'
Take Sir Kenneth Grange, for instance. The British designer has been designing objects as diverse as food mixers, irons, Instamatic cameras and the distinctive nose cone of the InterCity 125 High Speed Train for more than 50 years. In the mid-90s, he was asked to design a new London taxi. Produced from 1997 to 2002, the resulting TX1 was not a revolutionary design, but a self-conscious reworking of a format and style that had served London well for the best part of 40 years. Here was a case of not trying too hard to reinvent the wheel because "cabbies" and "fares" alike expect a London taxi to be a very particular type of vehicle: tall, spacious, preferably glossy black, discreet and able to turn on a sixpence [or 2.5 pence in post-1971 currency]. Carbodies, the company behind traditional black cabs, had ideas in mind for a great leap forward in taxi design, yet Grange held back, and wisely so. "The job of the designer," he told me, "is not always to make something that looks dramatically new. Sometimes, you bow to tradition."
Other designers have made brave leaps into the future hoping to change the way we see and use familiar gadgets and appliances. But, such designers are usually inventors, thinking anew about the way familiar objects work as well as look. Sir James Dyson has won fame for his radical cyclonic vacuum cleaners, while a host of largely anonymous inventors and designers has changed the very way we communicate with one another through computers and the internet, mobile phones and a plethora of digital gizmos.
Even then, designers simply can't help designing and re-designing in a perpetual quest for the equivalent of the perfect chair. Because, though, we are all shaped slightly differently and look at the world through slightly different eyes (and designer glasses), the "perfect" chair will remain an elusive if tantalising goal. But because we have become a society hungry for novelty, we expect everything from sofas and shaving razors to change.
Fascinating reworking
While it is easy to imagine radical designers like Flaminio Bertoni - the stylist behind the sensational 1950s Citroen DS – or Philippe Starck with his famous Juicy Salif lemon squeezer from 1990, shaking their heads in disagreement, most design, from the commonplace to the very particular, is a constant and fascinating reworking of what has gone before.
Put your hand in your purse, or your pocket, and look at the mix of coins there. Coins might seem unchanging things, yet they too go through redesigns. The thing is, these redesigns have to be gradual, as any change in the proportion and weight of coins has a huge effect on countless coin-operated machines and in the way people with visual disabilities handle them.
Take another example: the Harrier jump jet. Designed by Ralph Hooper and John Fozard of Hawker Aircraft, this highly sophisticated 50-year old aircraft has been modified and updated throughout its life not just to give it greater power and performance, but to bring it into line with the world of computers, fly-by-wire and digital technology. The AV-8B Harrier flying with US Marine Corps today is a very different machine from the first of its kind, yet designers have worked progressively to keep it up-to-date. Superficially, it might seem to be the same aircraft that first hovered in 1960, yet redesign has transformed it, just as light bulbs, the quarter in your pocket or even the mobile phone have been reworked and will continue to change.
Think of Apple and its iPhone. Since it was launched in 2007, the company has sold over 250 million of the handsets worldwide. In 2011, this tiny, hand-held device accounted for 43% of Apple's sales and 70% cent of profits: it is easy to understand just how critical a redesign of the iPhone is to the Californian-based company.
To keep pace with breathless developments in software while keeping the hardware – the casing – of the iPhone up to date, Apple's design team (led by British-born Sir Jonathan Ive) has produced six incarnations of this sleek mobile phone in as many years. Most of the changes have involved updating software, yet the look of the phone has changed subtly, too, with a shifting balance between the use of aluminium, glass, plastic, stainless steel and colour. In 2012, the iPhone 5 was given a bigger screen, and sales rocketed anew. Expect further annual changes as Apple competes in a hard-fought and crowded global market; the look of the phone affects sales as much as what it can do. Much rests on Ive's shoulders.
Like designs for a better toaster, lemon squeezer or London taxi, it seems safe to assume that a new iPhone with a tweaked and evolved design will appear soon. Sadly, I am less confident that my steam-hauled 21st Century Limited will be anything but a dream.

In 1965, when Bobbie Konover began coaching and teaching physical education at Germantown Friends School, Lyndon Johnson was President, no one had yet set foot on the moon, the Voting Rights Act had just become law, Betty Friedan founded the National Organization for Women and many universities didn't have athletics teams for women.
Konover was a 21-year-old graduate of the University of Wisconsin looking to start her career at a school where she could teach physical education to young children and coach older students. GFS offered both those opportunities, as well as a community where Konover's forward-looking vision, unyielding dedication to education and commitment to nurturing each student's mind, body and spirit were encouraged and valued.
Konover played a vital role in the founding of the Friends Schools League (FSL) – one of the first leagues in the area to include girls' athletics.
GFS's Carl Tannenbaum (then the boys' athletic director), who worked with Konover to found the League, said, "We founded [it] so that both boys and girls would have equal opportunity to compete for championships against comparable schools. As a result of [Bobbie's] leadership, GFS was, and continues to be, a force in girls' athletics in independent schools in the Philadelphia region."
Konover ushered GFS through the women's rights movement, the implementation of Title IX and the challenges of providing equal opportunities to girls and women in physical education and athletics. In 1965, GFS had more parity for girls than many other schools, but Konover wanted to make things even better for her girls.
Like most schools in the country, GFS had single-sex physical education. classes. As a result of Konover's work, GFS was on the forefront of going co-ed in P.E. classes. In 1972, the boys' and girls' department merged and Konover became the P.E. department chair.
Konover moved girls' athletics out of the "Little Gym" (then called the "Girls' Gym") and gave them equal access to facilities. She grew the girls' athletics program, so that girls had as many games, facilities and opportunities as the boys. She pushed for a full-court girl's basketball game, lobbied for a new girls' field house (to replace the one that was all the way across the street from the fields), and improved girls' facilities.
"The girls' tennis courts were clay, so when it rained we would cancel games, and the boys were across the street still playing," she recalled.
"I watch our young female athletes now and notice that they have no idea any inequality ever existed," said GFS Athletics Director Katie Bergstrom Mark. "This is truly a tribute to Bobbie's success and life's work. Today's female athletes don't have to fight that fight. Bobbie fought it for them."
Off the field, Konover served as a seventh-grade advisor and helped found the GFS Middle School. She served as head of the Middle School from 1992-94, during which time she developed athletics options for students in grades six through eight.
While Konover never shied away from taking on political struggles, administrative challenges and unjust inequities, she will also be remembered for the grace, compassion and confidence she brought to her Lower School physical education classes.
"P.E. educates kids about how their bodies work, so that, for a lifetime, they will have a knowledge about what they need to do to keep their bodies fit," she said.
Whether she was refereeing a game of "Shark and Minnows" or "Pop-up Tag," monitoring a special day such as "Terrific Tuesday" or "Wacky Wednesday" or helping students guide their own learning on "Round Day," when students chose any round object to play with and develop their own games and ideas, she made P.E. fun, all the while educating students on movement, game play and sportsmanship.
"It is important to give them opportunities to put together games that they want to play," she explained. "Most importantly, I want them to have fun yet keep it safe – they are learning how to move their bodies in space and around other people."
Konover may be retiring, but she is not slowing down. The Lafayette Hill resident is kicking off her retirement adventures with a safari in Africa. She is a champion competitive bridge player, a personnel manager at the Mendelssohn Club Symphonic Chorus and a budding genealogist. She will continue her long career at officiating for sporting clubs throughout the Philadelphia area and beyond, most recently serving as a marshal for the 16th hole at the U.S. Open golf tournament in Merion.
After teaching, coaching, administering and guiding girls' athletics for 48 years Konover is moving on to a new phase of her life. Her impact on GFS, however, will never be forgotten. There is now a "Konover Field" named in her honor, and strong and successful female athletes from schools across the region will be competing on that field for generations to come.

The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 are both launching in multiple markets and word has got round from Nokia that the company's latest Windows Phone 8 hardware will be released in India by early 2013. According to multiple reports from consumers who have contacted Nokia's support channel, the company is planning to launch the Lumia 920 and 820 in the first week of January 2013, while the Lumia 620 will be hitting stores in the last week of the month.
Nokia's flagship, the Lumia 920 is the company's high-end Windows Phone 8 device, which sports a number of features to make the expensive price tag seem well worth the investment. Microsoft's new mobile platform is being pushed by not only the Finnish manufacturer, but also HTC and Samsung, with the latter finally bringing the ATIV S to market.
We've recently looked at Nokia India starting to promote the Lumia 510 through the publication of a new advertisement, as well as the launch of a new website. Trendify.In (www.trendify.in) will provide a location for consumers to aggregate social connections. Check out the video below of the Lumia 510 in action with a catchy promotion.
India is an important market to tackle, much like Asia, the US and Europe, with a significant room for low end Windows Phones to absorb marketshare from Android and feature mobile devices. Nokia has always taken the low-end market seriously, which it hopes to continue with more affordable smartphones. The Lumia 510 and Lumia 620 are two handsets that fit the mould.
It's a certainty that Nokia will be launching its next wave of smartphones in India, but with the latest information we could be seeing the device early next year. A thread has been created on our forum to cover the Lumia handsets heading to India, so be sure to engage with other members in discussion.
Thanks, Rishabh, for the tip!

Genre: Puzzle
Happy little matryoshkas are waiting to meet their perfect match. Line them up, then let them go – stack them high and watch them grow!
In this evolution of the match-three style, you must build groups of dolls which are identical in both color and size...but each match creates a larger doll, which can't be matched until you make two more!
Click and drag a doll to slide the whole column or row. Create a line of three identical dolls, either horizontally or vertically, to stack them together and make one even bigger doll.
Dolls come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Make a line of three matching large dolls to remove them from the board, and cause all the surrounding dolls to gain one size.
Each game starts with a limited number of moves. Each time you slide a doll, whether or not it makes a matching line, one move is used. Level up to gain additional moves!

text: New Products March 7, 2014 07:58 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Diane Davis Farm Journal Copy Editor and Proofreader Email From Lawn Waste to Silage Grass clippings can be converted into silage by using the BioPac'r, a self-contained compactor that fits in a pickup or small trailer and makes 3'x4'x5' bales that weigh 1,400-lb. Once sealed into a customized silage bag, the fresh clippings aerobically convert into livestock feed during a 28-day ensiling period. A University of Wyoming feeding trial showed that the lawn clipping silage fed to test calves (500 lb. to 900 lb.) produced faster gains than control calves on traditional feed. Price: $13,995. For more information, visit http://BioPacr.com or call (307) 203-2736. Hay Rake Enhancement VRTS System Inc. of Wolbach, Neb., has introduced a line of products designed to address broken and bent teeth on V-rakes or side-delivery tine rakes. The V-Rake Teeth Support (VRTS) System uses high-density polyethylene straps added to rake wheels to support the teeth. The system helps the teeth work mechanically while reducing teeth bending and breaking, getting more hay into the windrows. Once installed, the rake's down pressure can be set to meet field conditions, allowing more pressure for heavy windrows and less with light hay. The system was invented by farmer Reg Roth. Price range: $97 to $116.40 per wheel. For more information, visit www.vrtssystem.com or call (855) 754-4011. Digital Inverter Generators A new product line by Polaris Power includes three digital inverter generators. The convenient, portable power source can recharge sensitive GPS and computer electronics; power tools such as reciprocating saws, hammer drills, work lights and small welders; recharge 12-volt batteries; or provide for backup power needs. The three models—P1000i, P2000i and P3000i—deliver 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 watts of maximum AC output. Users can manage power output by using the economy throttle on the generators, which run quieter than a typical conversation. The smaller P1000i and P2000i generators can be linked for additional power, while the P3000i unit can run for 21 hours. Price: P1000i, $649.99; P2000i, $999.99; P3000i, $1,799.99.
