This lunar new year, inflammatory names are the hot sellers.
BEIJING – In America, fireworks tend to be named for the noise they make. In China, people buy them according to the message they want to send skyward.
To greet the Year of the Snake, the nation that invented fireworks will explode this Saturday night with missiles that carry themes. "I want a rich, pale beauty" and "Bomb my boss to heaven" are among the brand names at stalls.
Millions of Chinese will spend a lot of money on brightly decorated packages of powerful, multirocket fireworks to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
And in Communist-run China, even fireworks do not escape the politicizing of everyday life and activities. "I love the Diaoyu Islands" is a popular seller, a reference to widespread Chinese hatred of Japan and a dispute over a rocky outcrop that China claims and Japan controls as the Senkaku Islands.
The most inflammatory new brand, "Tokyo Big Explosions," selling for up to $55, has become harder to find in recent days after the company started withdrawing the brand and police confiscated it from several stores.
The crackdown is a somewhat contradictory sign that Chinese authorities are aware of the dangers of fanning Tokyo's anger even as Beijing continues to send ships and planes into Japanese waters and airspace to contest atolls that Japan says China had no interest in until a survey found that oil and gas may lie underneath.
"We must fight the Japanese. I volunteer to go to the front line; we will overthrow the 'little Japanese,' " said Chen Guangyi, 27, a fireworks salesman from Sichuan province who said "I love the Diaoyu Islands" is the best seller at his central Beijing street-side stall.
Profits, not patriotism, are behind the naming of the fireworks, according to the Beijing Doudou Fireworks Company.
"At first, we just wanted to give new kinds of fireworks new names to attract customers; we didn't expect these ... would become hot sellers," said the Beijing market manager of the company, who gave his name as Yang. "All Chinese people love our motherland. The territorial issues are very important to us, and the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. That's our indisputable principle."
Sizing up the $6 'Little Tank' fireworks, which move and fire when lit, sixth-grader Xu Yu was shopping with his mother at a Panda fireworks stall in east Beijing. Panda, a firm with many more outlets than Doudou, does not offer Japan-themed pyrotechnics. "I like anti-Japanese TV series. When I watch the news about Diaoyu Islands, I wish I could fly there as quickly as possible to fight with the enemy," said Yu, 10.
Fears that fireworks will worsen Beijing's heavy smog have prompted the government's brand new "firework index," issued twice a day. The index advises when conditions are OK for igniting fireworks.
The environmental concerns have hurt sales, said Yang Mei, manager of Chen Guangyi's stall. "Each year, sales are falling as the government reduces firework outlets and the public better understand environmental concepts," she said.
Their stall still sells fireworks modeled on Japan's cartoon hero Ultraman. Members of the sales staff said those products are given away for free with larger purchases.
"Let's blow up and kill Ultraman!" chorused four salespeople.
Not all Chinese are so belligerent toward Japan.
"Personally, I don't hate Japanese. They are also human beings," said Wang Chengjun, a vendor at a Doudou firework stall beside Beijing Capital Stadium. He said the company had withdrawn 14 fireworks this week. "I wish there is peace, not war, between China and Japan. I think the fireworks' name is only a joke."

Ardentryst - 1.71-testing
Jordan Trudgett (tgfcoder)
arcade 2d pygame action rpg adventure platform sidescrolling fighting fantasy roleplaying tgfcoder opensource magic story medieval childfriendly
Ardentryst is an action/arcade role-playing game with focus on a fantasy world by the same name. The player is guided through a storyline which he or her must act in and play a major role in keeping peace and order in Ardentryst. The game features two playable characters and a variety of weapons, items, armour, monsters, and beautiful level scenery and graphics.
This game is programmed by me and myself alone (since 2007), however I have asked a lot of my friends to help with various parts of the game, like art, story and game concepts, and the game would not have as much potential without them. Please see the credits listing in-game. :)
Check out my homepage for more information: http://jordan.trudgett.com/
PLEASE NOTE: This is a source-only release. This means there is no .exe for this version. If you do not have Python and pygame installed on your system, it will not run.
If you're keen on getting the latest version of Ardentryst, take this version for a spin! It should be fully functional, perhaps with a few small quirks. Please email me, post in the player forum or otherwise contact me if you have suggestions or bug reports!
I'd also like to know if Mac users have any trouble getting it to work on their system, and if I can do anything about it.

Kid Reporter's summer reads include Jerry Spinelli's classic, Stargirl.
"She was elusive. She was today. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the fitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew."
She was Stargirl.
For a day, I was tangled in the pages of Stargirl, a book written by Jerry Spinelli. I sat on my bed and couldn't stop reading. Spinelli doesn't drag you from chapter to chapter — he has you running to catch up.
Stargirl is a book about a girl who's different from anyone else. In the book, Stargirl has been home-schooled all her life. At her new school, everyone is the same and only cares about their own business.
The other kids are shocked when Stargirl sings "Happy Birthday" in the cafeteria with her ukulele to people she doesn't know, leaves packages and gifts on doorsteps with no card, and cheers for both teams at sporting events. They don't know what to make of someone so different, and as the story unfolds Stargirl has to make a decision about just how important being "accepted" really is.
She was different all right, and I would recommend Stargirl to anyone because the book is different, too. It didn't have any adventure or big action scenes, but I still couldn't put the book down. The writing is radiant, and the characters seem so real.
Everyone is different, and everyone has a Stargirl inside of them. Reading this book, the Stargirl that's in you will come out.

Both Mississippi State and Ole Miss were in action in baseball and football today. Catch up with how it went at the DJournal.com sports blogs.
BASEBALL FINAL: MSU 2, Florida 0 (Game 2)
Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
• The buzz: MSU (26-8, 5-6 SEC) earned its first SEC series victory of the season behind the arm of senior right-hander Kendall Graveman, who tossed a complete game for the second consecutive week. Two early runs were more than enough for Graveman and the MSU defense, which made no errors and turned three double plays.
• Big inning: State went up 2-0 in the first inning, with leadoff man Adam Frazier doubling to get things going. He scored when Wes Rea was issued a bases-loaded walk, and then Alex Detz scored on C.T. Bradford's groundout.
• Key stats: Florida was 0 of 1 with runners in scoring position. … MSU was 6 of 16 on advancement opportunities, while Florida was 1 of 7. … MSU left six men on base, while UF stranded four.
• MSU at the plate: MSU had seven hits. … Frazier broke out of a 2-for-23 slump by going 2 of 4 with a double and a run scored. … Detz and Brett Pirtle also had two hits apiece.

BASEBALL FINAL – Vanderbilt 2, Ole Miss, 1 (Game 2)
By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Mike Mayers pitched ahead of batters in the first and second but couldn't close the innings efficiently. Then Vanderbilt began to make contact in the third.
The irony here is that Mayers walked six batters, and none of his walks scored. That's not a blueprint for success, mind you, but a picture into what type pitcher Mayers still can be when his control is better. Just 4.2 innings today and lots of pitches.
This isn't only about pitching. Ole Miss went into this series after back-to-back shutout losses at Florida – which doesn't have nearly the pitching staff that Vanderbilt does. I didn't expect big things against this Vanderbilt staff, but you have to manufacture offense. You have to find a way to score. That's what Vanderbilt did Friday night. It's what the Rebels aren't doing, and now they've scored just two runs over the last 36 innings.
While today's loss secured a third straight SEC series defeat, Ole Miss, amazingly, has been in position to win each game against the No. 2 team in the country in spite of erratic starting pitching and weak offense.

FOOTBALL – Mississippi St. defense has productive scrimmage
By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State held its first full scrimmage of the spring today at Davis Wade Stadium, and the defense came away the winner, although the offense made a strong push in the second half.
The first team offense ran 72 total plays, while the twos logged 65. After scoring just one touchdown on its first eight possessions, the ones came out firing after halftime, with the help of a short field, to score TDs on four consecutive possessions, and five of six total. Quarterback Tyler Russell was sharp, completing 28 of 40 passes for 307 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. (The media collectively kept some very unofficial stats.)
According to the MSU coaches' scoring system, the defense won the day. There were solid performances all around, including by linebacker Beniquez Brown (nine tackles, two PBUs, two TFLs), linebacker Chris Hughes (six tackles, PAT block), defensive lineman A.J. Jefferson, linebacker Ferlando Bohanna, and defensive end Denico Autry – among others. Defensive coordinator Geoff Collins was pleased with the effort as a whole, as you can see in the video below.
The run game was sparked by sophomore Josh Robinson, who had 90 yards on 14 carries. LaDarius Perkins rushed for 27 yards on 12 carries and had a 40-yard touchdown reception. He took a screen pass, juked a defender, and leaped inside the pylon.
Jameon Lewis, who has been impressive all spring, made nine catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Robert Johnson made eight catches for 78 yards, while Fred Brown had four catches for 63 yards and a TD. Tight end Brandon Hill also scored a touchdown on a nifty 29-yard grab.

FOOTBALL – Rebels scrimmage notebook
By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
The Rebels worked out for about about two hours, and Hugh Freeze was glad to see his offense bounce back from what he termed a disappointing performance in Friday's practice.
"They responded, which is what you hope to see. They no question had more passion and determination. I was proud of the offensive staff and the way those guys responded to yesterday's beatdown."
Much of the field position was "offense friendly," but as Freeze notes in a video on the blog, you still have to finish those drives:
Ratliff also had a 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Matt Brown.
Sanders later dropped a touchdown pass from Barry Brunetti when he had a step on Nick Brassell.
Brunetti and Maikhail Miller both made plays in the passing game too, but while there was productivity, there was also inconsistency.
Brunetti had a 6-yard TD pass to Cody Core in the back of the end zone. Miller had a couple of nice throws on slant patterns, one to tight end Jack Nuismer for a touchdown.
Brunetti had some impressive option runs, and both quarterbacks had rushing touchdowns. Miller drew oohs and aahs from the crowd when he scored on a 9-yard run off left guard, finishing in the end zone by knocking heads with the defender and barreling in.
Miller, the former Itawamba AHS star, is listed at 6-foot-2, 240.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Commissioners met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 20 at the Sheriff's Office in Green River. Those present were Commissioners Randy Johnson, Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud. Sheriff Lamar Guymon was also in attendance. A prayer was offered at the beginning of the meeting by JoAnn Behling, county treasurer. The pledge was lead by Dixie Swasey, county recorder.
It was mentioned that the board of equalization was held prior to the commission meeting. The first item on the agenda was the check edit list, additional claims, requisitions and dispositions. County Clerk Bruce Funk discussed the lists with the commissioners. Commissioner Hatch questioned the charge of a sympathy gift sent to the tax commission. Funk explained that someone had passed away and flowers were sent in sympathy. Commissioner Hatch jokingly said they really should look at any sympathy gifts to the tax commission.
Another charge questioned was hand held radios. Sheriff Guymon explained that these will be used within the jail complex facility itself for communication between officers. Also a charge on porta potty costs was questioned for the road department. Commissioner Hatch said they had purchased a porta potty for use on site during construction jobs and it was supposed to be drained at the county disposal facility to avoid pumping charges. Commissioner Hatch said he would look into this matter along with the uniform replacement program for mechanics and lubrication specialists at the road shop.
The next item of business was the ratification of the amendment to the economic adjustment strategy grant. Commissioner Hatch explained that it is an economic development program that was entered into a year ago and this was just to update and extend the contract. The item was ratified.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the resolution adopting final tax rates for Emery County and Castle Valley Special Service District. Commissioner Johnson explained that a public hearing was held by Emery County and the CVSSD on the judgment levy to recoup taxes for the amount of the repayment to the centrally assessed properties in the amount of approximately $357,600. Having done this the county is now able to set the tax rate for the year in the amount of .004731 for the county and .002726 for the CVSSD. These rates will raise approximately $5 million in revenue for the county and $411,088 for the CVSSD. It was moved by Commissioner Hatch and seconded by Commissioner Sitterud to adopt the final tax rates.
The next item was the approval of the release of a lien. Commissioner Hatch explained that in 1983 some property was sold and transferred in Castle Dale and it had a lien attached to it by the county. Subsequent to that the wrong lot number was placed on the lien document. "The change has been made and the lien is satisfied and we recommend that the lien be released," he said.
The next item was the update on the Green River annexation. Commissioner Johnson said that County Attorney Dave Blackwell couldn't be at the meeting, but had sent a letter with some information. The Utah Supreme Court ratified all of the steps taken to meet the conditions of the law and ratified and confirmed each item in Emery County's favor on the annexation issue. On Aug. 6 this declaration was served to Deputy County Attorney Scott Barrett of Grand County. He had 10 days to file an objection and as of Aug. 20 no objection had been filed.
Judge Lyle Anderson should now issue an order any day to submit the results of the annexation vote to the lieutenant governor who will in turn submit the results to the governor. The annexation will become law on Jan. 1, 2003. Green River City Mayor Glen Johnson said their attorney Gerald Kinghorn said the citizens of the Grand County side of Green River City would officially become Emery County citizens on Jan. 1, 2003. The commissioners decided it would need to be looked into further to determine these things before the election in November.
The next item on the agenda was a discussion with Tom Burr, Green River City councilman. He said he had received a call from the Moab Travel Council and they want to start the dialogue process with Green River City on the transition process. They will meet on Aug. 27 at 11 a.m. at the museum in Green River with Green River City officials and the commissioners are invited, said Burr.
He said they now expect the transient room tax from the Green River area will be coming into Emery County. The question is whether Emery County wants to collect their own or have the state tax commission collect it. There is a savings if you collect your own and you need forms and specific legal information regarding how this collection takes place. Grand County collects their own transient room tax and saves money. Currently Emery County collects approximately $18,000 a year in transient room tax which goes to the Emery County Travel Council and also additional funds go into the travel council from the general fund. Emery County also helps with the funding of the Castle Country Information Center which is within the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum.
Commissioner Hatch said all money generated from the transient room tax is to be used in tourism and tourist related activities in promoting tourism in the county. The county can collect up to 3 percent in transient room tax. Green River City also collects 1 percent in transient room tax. The restaurant tax was also discussed and Emery County doesn't currently have such a tax. It was also mentioned if the monument did go then Green River would be a base for this because of their established tourist related businesses.
The travel bureau creates their own bylaws which are then approved by the commission. The bureau also sets a budget for their administrative needs. Commissioner Hatch pointed out that if additional money comes into the budget from the transient room tax then what they would like to do is look into using it for museum operation in Green River and in Castle Dale. Commissioner Hatch also said that they will know more what to plan on after the annexation is finalized.
Mayor Johnson also pointed out that Green River City subsidizes the museum. The 1 percent tax that Green River collects goes to the museum as well. It was also pointed out that the Grand County Travel Council which is set up in the John Wesley Powell River Museum pays the museum a yearly fee of $2,000 to be there.
Mayor Johnson also let the commission know that Green River City is still receiving bills from the attorney on the Green River Annexation. Commissioner Hatch said that was good to know because they begin their budgeting in September and like to know up front on additional items which might need to be budgeted for.
Clerk Funk said Emery County should really look at collecting their own transient room tax. He said that when Grand County had the tax commission collect their tax they didn't get all they were entitled to. Commissioner Hatch agreed that collecting your own saves money because the tax commission takes a percentage for administrative expenses.
Under the citizen concerns category, Christine Monroe spoke to the commission. She said she is the director of the community center and they are in need of a new building for their community center. She had an architectural rendition of the proposed building which is all on one level. She said a building of this type would beautify Green River and be a real benefit to the community.
Currently she said they have 40-50 people per day using the current community center. The new building would have a large room for recreation, class rooms for education and mental health activities. The current building is being donated and originally was for two years and they are requesting a third year.
The new building would also house a senior citizens facility. The College of Eastern Utah and the Utah State University would offer educational opportunities for Green River citizens in the building. The center currently offers cooking classes, lifeskill classes and support groups. They have a reading group and have held a summer reading program for youth 14 and younger throughout the summer which involved 20-40 youth.
Monroe said, "Green River has 600 hotel rooms but no place to hold a conference. We would like to have two conference rooms and if the seniors would donate their facility for the conference then there would be three rooms. We would also like to have a stage, currently the high school is the only place in Green River where you can practice for any kind of a production. We would also like to have a pull down screen where we can show movies for the youth and a snack bar. We also would like to incorporate a four lane bowling alley because then you can run a league for the community. This bowling alley could also serve as a small revenue builder. We would also like to include a swimming pool and soccer programs.
"The estimated cost of the building is $2 million. Green River City currently has property available for the building to be located. We attended a HUD conference recently and they said there are rural development funds available. We would also like to go after some Community Impact Board funds and are looking for your support of the project," said Monroe.
Mayor Johnson said, "We beg Emery County to help us, the community center now is doing something with nothing and are doing a great job."
Commissioner Johnson said that they will keep their eyes on the project and look for ways to assist. The next item was the approval of the previous meeting's minutes. The next item was the commissioner's reports. Commissioner Sitterud reported that Jeff Guymon will be working over Labor Day weekend to get the server installed so the sheriff can begin to move in. The BLM workshop meetings will be held on Oct. 1 in Salt Lake at the University of Utah, on Oct. 2 in Price, Oct. 3 in Green River at the museum and on Oct. 4 in Castle Dale.
Mayor Johnson pointed out that the river bridge in Green River will be closed after Oct. 1 and to remind people to use the next exit into Green River.
Commissioner Hatch reported that they have met with Sevier County on the Quitchupah Road. They are still trying to work out access for livestock, but currently it is still in the air depending on which route is selected. The airport apron resurfacing has been completed and the UDOT aeronautical engineer inspected the project and said it looks really good. On the Moore Cutoff road the environmental report is being circulated for review. On the second to the last day for comments, SUWA submitted a five page protest. We met with the BLM and parties involved and also an environmental consultant and addressed the concerns that SUWA had. A report will come out in September. I'll meet with the joint highway committee and give them an update at their meeting and secure funding for this project.
Commissioner Johnson said he felt the announcement of the partnership of the BLM, state and the county was successful and people are looking at it a little differently now after this announcement. Commissioner Johnson also read excerpts from a Salt Lake Tribune editorial and one from the Deseret News which stated, "The proposed public input process is unprecedented in its scope at its attempt to include as many interested people as it conceivably can. If done correctly, the process will create a new BLM model for future federal land management decisions. Emery County officials and the BLM should be commended for their continuing effort to accommodate all comers. In a state in which environmental issues typically draw two responses, absolute protection or absolute access, the county and BLM have worked tirelessly to bring the extremes to a middle position by giving the majority of the people who fall between the poles a chance to weigh in."
The Deseret News said that few entities go out of their way to make sure that the public has an opinion and is encouraged by the process. Commissioner Johnson said it is profitable to bring as much information forth as possible. He mentioned the survey being conducted by Keith Allred to poll interest groups in the county, state and nation. Allred will also be on hand on Aug. 28 at the courthouse in Castle Dale from 7-9 p.m. to take input on survey questions.
The commission meeting was adjourned with the next regularly scheduled meeting to be held on Sept. 3 at 4 p.m.

Rockefeller College Gets U.S. Grant to Train Students as Homeland Security Professionals
Students in the T-STeP program, left to right, Patrick Campion '11, Tina Chang and Joseph Popcun, stand behind the project's lead trainer, UAlbany associate professor R. Karl Rethemeyer, a policy and terrorism expert.
ALBANY, N.Y. (Sept. 17, 2012) - Through a $200,000 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant, students in UAlbany's Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy embarked this fall upon a two-year program to become security and counter-terrorism professionals.
The Training for Security and Terrorism Professionals (T-STeP) program combines education, training, and research efforts administered by the College in partnership with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). In addition to being enrolled in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, the students will serve a DHSES internship.
R. Karl Rethemeyer, associate professor and chair of the Department of Public Administration and Policy, is leading the training. Rethemeyer is an expert on public policy and terrorism. His current research regarding organizational terrorist networks and counter-insurgency efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan is federally funded.
"T-STeP is designed to prepare homeland security professionals for long-term employment as intelligence analysts in local, state, or federal service in the public and private sectors," said Rethemeyer. "The three students chosen were recruited for their overall academic excellence and their advanced training in science and mathematics."
The students include:
- Tina Chang, a 2009 University of California graduate who completed her bachelor's in Asian humanities and was accepted into UAlbany's criminal justice master's program last year. She is proficient in Japanese and taught English in Japan after completing her undergraduate study. Chang received a certificate as a fingerprint examiner for New York State after an internship at the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
- Patrick Campion, a 2011 UAlbany graduate who earned his bachelor's in psychology with a minor in political science. He began coursework for the MPA in spring 2012 and has been working as an intern for DHSES since August 2011. He is also a graduate of the FBI Citizens' Academy.
- Joseph Popcun, a 2010 Syracuse University graduate who received his bachelor's in international relations with a concentration in Middle Eastern security and diplomacy. He worked as a research assistant for the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism from May 2009 to May 2010, and currently works on contract as an immigration research analyst.
Chang sees the T-STeP program providing her with enhanced opportunities to meet her career goal. "T-STeP not only allows me to expand my studies in Rockefeller College, but also allows me to intern and, hopefully, will increase my chances of attaining a position as an intelligence analyst in the federal government," she said.
Popcun agrees. "I believe that my education and experience has taught me a great deal about "the way the world is"— through gathering information, thinking critically, identifying challenges, and making decisions that better the public's well-being. I'm proud that Rockefeller College can provide me with the tools necessary to make a difference in the lives of others."
"The students will be deeply involved with our College's faculty in ongoing research projects on terrorism, counter-terrorism, immigration enforcement, and other aspects of homeland security," said Rethemeyer. Upon graduation, the students are required to work for at least two years in a homeland security-related public or private-sector job.
The T-STeP Program is part of Rockefeller College's Homeland Security Concentration in the Department of Public Administration and Policy. The courses are designed by University faculty in consultation with intelligence, law enforcement, and public management experts, and provide graduates with the foundation to become more effective homeland security professionals and managers.comments powered by Disqus

INDIANAPOLIS – On Veterans Day, Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz made two special announcements that detailed a new literacy partnership with the Indiana National Guard and a new incentive program that is designed to attract Veterans to Indiana classrooms.
Superintendent Glenda Ritz has formed a new literacy partnership with the Indiana National Guard called Boots for Books. "In our efforts to build a culture of readers in Indiana through our Hoosier Family of Readers initiative, the Indiana National Guard has joined over 263 literacy partners to build a culture of readers in Indiana," stated Ritz. "Boots for Books will give Indiana National Guard soldiers the opportunity to work with students in 30 schools and 30 after school programs across Indiana to ensure students are reading by third grade."
While making stops in Fort Wayne and South Bend on Monday, Superintendent Ritz announced that she is working with State Senator C. Susan Glick (Lagrange, IN) to draft legislation for the 2014 legislative session to launch a new veterans-to-teacher scholarship program, Second Service. The new incentive program would expand the existing Combat to Classroom program that funds two and four year scholarships, and translate military training and experience into college credits that will assist Indiana veterans in earning a degree in K-12 education from universities in Indiana. Participants in the program would be required to teach in an Indiana school for one year.
"I want to ensure that the men and women who have served our country as Airmen, Marines, Sailors and Soldiers have an opportunity to serve our state, and ultimately, our nation, as educators," stated Superintendent Ritz. "The Second Service incentive program would offer financial assistance and college credits to any post 9-11 veteran who has a strong desire to continue serving Hoosiers in the classroom."
Superintendent Ritz talked about the benefits of attracting veterans to the education profession. "Veterans have the skills, experiences and work ethic needed to manage a classroom. They understand what it means to serve their community, and I can't think of a group of individuals who are as dedicated to the mission of service as veterans," Ritz concluded. "They deserve an opportunity to serve our community, and I hope the Second Service incentive program will attract veterans to help educate our next generation of Hoosiers."

Absolutely gorgeous!
"I usually wear a 7, but the only size left was 7-1/2, and the sale price was too good to pass up, so I grabbed the 7-1/2, They fit perfectly. Very comfortable. Love the unique shaped heel and hot pink sole. Very classy."

Very bright!
"These shoes will get you noticed!My only complaint is that the toe box is very narrow. It's not that the shoe runs short, because it would definitely be too long if I went up a size. So the little piggy gets a little squished - these are not all day walking around shoes, they are take-off-as-soon-as-you-get-home shoes."

paris perfect! im in love!!
"I am soooo pleased with this purchase! This is the first pair of shoes I've bought in a very long time that did not require either stretching, padding or pre-wear for comfort. I tried the shoes on at the end of a long work day and now I don't want to take them off!The shoe design is classy, modern and classic all at once.Even the packaging is stellar. The shoe box looks like a gift bag. There are even replacement heel taps included!New favorite....I'm ordering an additional pair in different color now."

Too long
"I don't usually review items I purchase but I think before you purchase these you should know this. These shoes are very cute and retro looking but do not fit correctly. Other reviews said to order 1/2 size down but if you do then the toes are too short. There is way too much room at the heel even when you size down and your foot slips out even with a heel insole."

Whether or not you went "back to school" this fall, preppy fall fashion with a hint of "off to hit the books" appeal will always hold a place in this industry's hearts. Maybe it's an easy way to relive the scholastic days without actually having to deal with the stress of pop quizzes and report cards, or maybe looking smart just never gets old. Either way, the Mango Pre-Fall 2011 lookbook leaves models Kasia Struss & Emma Xie all set to step on campus with medium-wash cropped jean trousers, cable knit, plaids, khakis, and noninvasive floral prints. We love the ruffle-sleeve denim one peice and cuffed shorts. These are easy answers to the classic question: What do I wear today so that cute guy in lecture will look at me?

Stress is an inevitable part of daily life. But if you don't do anything to relieve stress, in the long run, you will suffer the effects of stress on the body
Sources of Stress
There are many sources of stress, or stressors, that you can encounter in any given day—and over the course of your lifetime. Stressors can be mental, emotional or physical in nature.
It's also important to recognize that any change that alters the status quo and demands that you adapt to it is a stressor. The change can be positive, such as a long-awaited vacation or the birth of a new baby; or negative, like the loss of a job or the death of a loved one.
Immediate Effects of Stress on the Body
No matter what the source, your body responds to stressors through a process largely controlled by your adrenal glands.
The immediate response to a stressor is the infamous fight-or-flight response. Blood is shunted away from your skin and most internal organs, while your heart and lungs get increased blood. Your breathing rate increases, your liver dumps stored glucose into the bloodstream, and glucose and oxygen are rushed to your brain and muscles.
Effects of Chronic Stress on the Body
The fight-or-flight response is a normal reaction and won't cause your body any harm in the short term. Chronic stress, however, can seriously undermine your body's resilience.
When your body remains in a constant state of fight-or-flight, your heart, blood vessels and adrenals are weakened, and your digestive system can get out of whack. Effects of stress on the body include impaired adrenal function, which leads to fatigue and low immune function, and acute infections and fatigue can become chronic.
Cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease are also linked with chronic stress.

En español | Well, folks, it's happening. The baby boomers, popularizers of tennis and skiing in the 1970s, inventors of jogging and step aerobics in the 1980s, are advancing through middle age to the very threshold of senior citizenship: The oldest boomers turn 65 this year.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter.
And if their parents' generation inaugurated the science of good nutrition — the five food groups and all that — the boomers' adult years have, fittingly enough, produced a major new body of evidence on the benefits of "getting physical."
In fact, this evidence suggests that exercising regularly during middle age and beyond is an enormously effective way to promote just the sort of old age boomers dream about: independent, robust and free of chronic disease or disability. "If you had to pick one thing, one single thing that came closest to the fountain of youth," says James Fries, M.D., a pioneer researcher on healthy aging at Stanford University, "then it would have to be exercise."
Exercise maintains healthy blood vessels for good circulation in the body and brain. It also helps people manage their weight and cope with stress. And exercise stems age-related losses in bone density and muscle mass while it keeps the heart and lungs strong.
The bottom line, reflected in dozens of studies, is that people who exercise, on average, live longer than those who don't, with a reduced chance of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, colon and breast cancers, depression, falls and even mental decline.

An Investigation into What Planning Departments and Water Authorities Can Learn from Eleven Communities' Waterwise Landscaping OrdinancesAnderson, Kristin M. (June 28, 2004)[more][less]Anderson, Kristin M. 2004-06-28T23:01:16Z 2004-06-28T23:01:16Z 2004-06-28T23:01:16Z http://hdl.handle.net/1794/179 In the United States we are using billions of gallons more water every day than is replenished by the hydrological cycle. Because water applied to landscaping is often the single largest use of the water supplied by most water utilities in areas requiring landscape irrigation, planners and water authorities are adopting ordinances that reduce the amount of water required by landscaping. This report focuses on ordinances which require or encourage the use of waterwise plants and/or that limit the area of lawns or offer incentives for reducing lawn area. I analyzed eleven ordinances from eight states (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington) and interviewed twelve planners and eight landscape architects from ten of these communities. This report provides information on the many options available in waterwise landscaping ordinances, how various ordinance elements are enforced in real life, the advantages and disadvantages of various elements, and landscape architects' and planners' views and recommendations. In addition to my analysis and recommendations, the report includes a literature review that is a primer on water shortage issues, the relationship between landscapes and water consumption, and the theory of waterwise landscaping ordinances; a matrix comparing the eleven ordinances and community factors (such as evapotranspiration and cost of water); and a compendium of 25 waterwise landscaping ordinance elements. 576732 bytes application/pdf en_US Landscaping Ordinances, Municipal Planning Waterwise gardening Water shortage Droughts Planning departments Landscape gardening -- Water conservation Water use Plants Vegetation Xeriscaping Lawns Turf management Planners Landscape architects Grasses Water harvesting Irrigation Reclaimed water Soils Mulching Slopes (Physical geography) Incentives In conservation of natural resources Arizona Gilbert (Ariz.)

If you have never been to Mesa Verde, you cannot imagine how majestic and awe-inspiring this world heritage treasure is. It represents the most amazing collection of artifacts of a lost civilization that one can imagine.
One of the key elements of the BIMS program is establishing for graduate programs and professional schools our own collection of artifacts to testify to the strengths and abilities of our students. The BIMS program participates in routine assessment of student and program success. We want to document proof of effectiveness in providing students with useful and marketable knowledge and skills, and proof that our courses are effective in meeting the program's goals. Our flyers for the BIMS program (see BIMS Downloads at the top of this page) outline three lines of evidence ("artifacts") our students will have of their knowledge and abilities:
- The biological portfolio of biological products (their personally isolated and identified strains of bacteria, proteins and other products of assays and extractions done in lab, gels and other artifacts of productivity in the lab),
- The electronic portfolio (posters of their research, reports, digital photographs and micrographs, etc. – artifacts of their analysis and reporting to the scientific community), and
- Their performance on the BIMS 4000 Junior Exam.
April 5th marks the day the BIMS 4000 Junior Exam is made available to our junior students. It consists of basic, intermediate, and advanced questions over the program goals covered in each of the freshman and sophomore courses:
- Intro to Scientific Research,
- Unicellular Organisms,
- Microbiology,
- Human Physiology, and
- Genetics.
Here's a sampling of three questions students might find as they take this exam…
Means used for preserving foods and increasing their shelf life typically include
A. Acidification to prevent fungal growth
B. Addition of salt or sugar to lower the pH of the foodstuff
C. Removal of available water and addition of acids
D. Pasteurization to sterilize the foodstuff
E. More than one of these
The germ layer from which the skeletal muscles, heart, and skeleton are derived is the
A. Ectoderm
B. Mesoderm
C. Endoderm
D. Notochord
Within the same individual, some genes mutate at a much higher rate than other genes. This is because
A. Some genes are larger than others providing a greater chance for mutation
B. Some genes have hot spots, which are locations that make them more susceptible to mutation
C. Some genes are larger than others, which prevents DNA polymerase from incorporating the incorrect base during replication
D. A and B
E. B and C
The answer for one of these is A, for one is B, and for one is C. We'll let you figure out which is which! Or, you can find a BIMS major and ask them for a little help. May your artifact from these three questions match the artifact they will develop as they complete the exam!

KISS was founded by Bob Macleod and Steve Byckiewicz 30 years ago on a 200 acre farm in New York's beautiful Hudson River Valley. It was the dawn of the 1980's. A couple of (very) young vegetarians are living happily in an ancient house on an organic farm that was used as a hospital during the Revolutionary war. One night in front of a crackling fire, a light goes off and the two modestly decide to revolutionize the cosmetic industry. Lofty plans with loads of creativity and style are created. The Kiss My Face natural body care company is born, starting with some big, ugly, green bars of soap from Greece. But there is absolutely no money...the stage is set for a business disaster. The boys load the soap and some organic squash from their garden into their aging VW and head to NYC, all the way hoping the proverbial door won't be slammed in their faces...it isn't! Retailers offer overwhelming support, think the olive soaps are beautiful, buy the squash and even buy them lunch occasionally. The boys are smiling. Fast forward to today. The VW was traded in for a hybrid but the boys still have their youthful enthusiasm. Now, with a successful line of over 200 bath and body products sold in over 19 countries worldwide, KISS has become a respected leader in natural body care. Kiss My Face has gotcha covered from head to toe...with a few stops in between!

Model#: B831W-AZ / SKU: 007690
Best Brush Ever!I have fairly straight long hair to the middle of my back. It was impossible to brush or comb it after showering but now it takes two minutes! It feels like it isn't doing anything at first but the next thing I know my hair is detangeled painlessly. I wish they had this when I was younger! Seems great for kids. 10 stars in my book!Aug 14, 2012Ashley / MassachusettsHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

A M A Z I N G ! No More Broken Hair!Regular paddle brushes pull snag and rip out hair. So I was so happy to see the wet brush in a traditional paddle brush size!
I've tried the regular sized wet brush and I love this even more! the familiar size is so much easier to use.
Bristles are super flexible, build quality seems good. Easy to clean. and this really is a life saver.
You just need a good leave in/spray on conditioner detangler and this wet brush will glide through all knots and tangles.
Tip: When using the Wet Brush, by nature people will bring the brush paralleled with the scalp or section they are combing. Its hard to explain in words but you shouldn't start the brush with bristles perpendicular to the hair. Going at an angle and slight scooping motion will give you better results. If you are doing the motion right. bristles bend and graze over the scalp and hair to glide through tangles easily.Jul 24, 2012James / Dearmiju-hair.tumblr.comHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Normal Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

November 12 2013 09:52AM
Let's all simmer down for a moment. Let's put down our shotguns and forget for an instant that Yakupov's agent is showing everyone why he is entitled to hundreds of thousands of 64's dollars every year "having his back" or whatever it is that agents do.
It's time for some fun, some laughs and hours crouched in front of the warm glow of a computer monitor as we touch up photographs in a photoshop contest.
Poor ol Bryz. Sitting on millions, blessed with an imagination that most writers would kill their English Honours classmates to possess. Banished to the frozen Northern tundra to ply his trade for millions more. As a man from the frozen Northern tundra of Togliatti this is going to create some massive culture shock that will take minutes to overcome.
We feel for the guy on one level. He went from being the Boss of all Bosses, signing a 9 year 51 million dollar contract with Philly to being summarily tossed from the league and exiled to the place where millionaires go to die: Las Vegas, Nevada. Now he has been signed to the Oil of all squads and has been reduced to making positive statements about coming to a team so broken it will be studied in GM School for decades to come.
And during all of the inevitable backlash on the twitterz - we Oilers fans are a tense lot these days - we can't think of a single positive message of support that we have seen until last night when we started trying to locate the 5 Bryz fans in the OilersNation.
So you are saying there is room on the Bryz Bandwagon then?
*scratches beard itchily*
Wouldn't it be great if Bryz showed up and put on a clinic of awesome in net? You know he has it in him - the man has played great for three different teams. Nothing would be more hilarious if he came to Edmonton and gave us what we have lacked for so long - a dose of hot goaltending. Imagine he was the guy that Eakins is able to super charge with all of his Jedi mind tricks? Classic.
Remember when a goalie gets hot and steals you a few games in a row and all the players say "man we had no business winning this game or the last. Thank God our goalie is hot." When did that happen last? Probably 2006.
We need you Bryz Khalifa. It's dire times around here and if you are somehow the answer this is going to be a grand ride for all involved.
Anyone who has seen 24/7 or any of the many other interviews with the new Oilers tendy has probably marvelled at the wonderous statements the man has made on camera. Has he been bitten in the brain by some sort of bug? Is he slightly touched by the angels? Is this English as a second language acting as a barrier to understanding what he really means?
Ah screw it.
We need this Soviet Space Cowboy to step up and remind us all why he was worth 51 million to Ed Snyder only a few months ago. And that is the theme for the sixth installment of the infamous OilersNation photoshop contest.
Bryz as an astronaut - as my boy @_AGuyNamedKris has brilliantly shown above. Bryz fighting space bears. Bryz as our mystical shaman leading us out of the darkness and into the brilliant light of a nearby dwarf star.
Thy sky is the limit. Send your entries to wanyegretz at gmail dot com. We will close off entries on Friday then we can all laugh and vote over the weekend.
Oh and first prize? Hmm. How about the first Bryzgalov Oilers jersey on the market?
Yeah, that will do nicely.
I am one of the 5 Bryzee fans. Everyone is welcome into our wagon. Bring blankets though. And imagination, lots of it.
Bryz gets us to the playoffs,then signs a new contract with the flames!
Save some of that lighter fluid. ... dark days ahead ...
November 12 2013, 10:07AM
I'm pretty sure Khabibulin is in the second row in that first picture.
November 12 2013, 10:13AM
"Now he has been signed to the Oil of all teams and has been reduced to making positive statements about coming to a team so broken it will be studied in GM School for decades to come."
Wayne that may be the greatest and most accurate statement you have ever made!
Well done.
Classic from the boy with a box

Pass the BryzKoolAid...
November 12 2013, 10:44AM
MacT, we thought maybe you had a plan and knew a few things about the business side of things with the degree and all but so far we are perplexed and mentally distraught by your moves. These damn Fanboy owners ruin franchises. Pegula did a number on Buffalo.

In Bryzgalov We Trust...*
*because the alternatives are Jason "the Sieve" LaBarbera and Devan "The Seven Foot Midget" Dubnyk
November 12 2013, 10:49AM
Something stinks in the Oilers dressing room and Bryz is the perfect guy to find the smell and tell us about it.
November 12 2013, 10:50AM
Thatta boy Wanye!
This Bryzgalov signing has all the makings to be "that" deal. I love the guy,he's a unique talent with something to prove. It's going to be a strange trip, I'm looking forward to this.
November 12 2013, 11:08AM
What are these "playoffs" people are talking about?
Must consult Russian/English dict
November 12 2013, 11:19AM
The Smid deal must only confirm the Oil have thrown in the towel on this season. They could've gotten plenty more for Smid had they been willing to add/take salary back and add to this years roster.
The tank is on. Lowe and MacTavish are in dump mode, trying to cut costs (to increase profits for Daryl Ballard)) and minimize his cost for the balance of this season with this move. Who's next, 83, 15, 89? We supported this ship show without question. We're getting exactly what we deserve for enabling these characters.

@Zamboni Driver - Gather round, my friend... we used to have Oiler playoff hockey when I was a kid... guys with mullets used to beat each other up, for weeks and sometimes months into the summer, to determine who would take home this Cup called Stanley... it was magical... I'm going to now dig out my old VCR and VHS tapes and watch some Oiler playoff highlights... and drink whiskey... and cry...

@Quicksilver ballet
I would not at all be surprised to see all three of these fellas dealt well before the trade deadline. They are all one dimensional and seem to be part of the old guard. The dismantling of the old guard started with Laddy.
Yak needs his ice. We need more complete players up front. Exit Gags and Hemmer.
Belov and Larsen have made NSchultz expendable.
My hope is that we are starting to bring back players that make us a more balanced hockey team. Is Horak our new Reasoner? Hope so. Broissot seems to be a good prospect. If Bryzgalov plays well and we land a top D man to shoulder the load soon we are at least moving in the right direction.
November 12 2013, 01:05PM
Bryzgalov,will bring a buzz to the dressing room,and he will ask yak why you heff to be mad?
November 12 2013, 01:34PM
Most people I talk to either LOVE the signing or say it cant possibly be worse. 1.38 mil? For a guy who played like that in pheonix? Ive been on that bandwagon since before he was signed. If nothing else, Bryzgalov will make Oil Change hella interesting
November 12 2013, 01:41PM
"Они пытаются играть жестко, но суть я во вратаря. Я тот парень, который есть, чтобы попытаться остановить шайбу. Я не мог даже остановить простыми выстрелами." "Я заблудился в лесу прямо сейчас."

Согласованный! Нефтяники имеют суперзвезду наконец
По крайней мере, сообщение показывает, игра должна быть интересной!

Count me in as a fan of Mr Universe!
Perhaps all we ended was a little bit of Bryzgalove to make the season at least watchable :-)

Have you checked out the riders in Bryzgalov's contract? Schedule "A" says that:
"The Player is guaranteed no less than 12 minutes of broadcast screen time in each episode of 'Oil Change' of which at least three minutes will be a monologue of the Player's sole choosing on any subject whatsoever, including but not limited to cosmic inflation, comparative Eastern religions, and puppies. Sometimes all of the aforementioned topics shall appear in the same monologue. And some, part or all may be even in English, Russian or Bryzgaleese (a language of the Player's own creation)."
November 12 2013, 05:58PM
This is exactly what we need right now!
I am definitely on the Bryz bandwagon. This season is lost, we need the Bryz to come here and enlighten us all. He single handedly will make the rest of this season watchable.
Come On People!! Signing Bryz is the BOLD move promised since the Spring!

SAFETY NET: Are You a Campus Security Authority?
At Saint Louis University, the responsibility for reporting campus crimes extends beyond the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities to collect crime reports from a variety of individuals and organizations that the federal law identifies to be campus security authorities or CSAs.
Examples of CSAs include:
- Residence hall desk workers
- Resident assistants and advisers
- Faculty advisers to student organizations
- Athletic directors and coaches
But CSAs are defined by their functions, not their job titles. For example, an employee or student who oversees a student trip would qualify, too.
Under the federal law, CSAs must notify DPSEP of certain alleged crimes that are reported to them, including
- Homicide
- Aggravated assault
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Motor vehicle theft
- Arson
- Sexual assault
- Hate crimes
The University already has identified a number individuals as Campus Security Authorities. If you believe you are a Campus Security Authority, contact James Spellman with DPSEP, at 314-977-7129 or firstname.lastname@example.com. If you qualify, you will be enrolled in an one-hour, online Campus Security Authority course.

All the smart self-publishers these days are using techniques like speed-implemented print on demand, which is low-risk and high-yield. However, be sure you're still thinking like a big-business publisher and using some classic business-building techniques.
I totally advocate the use of Print-On-Demand (POD) services like Lulu.com. The low-risk approach, the profit comparisons to major publishers, and the speed-implementation mindset are all things I really admire. However, be sure you're not missing something that I make sure all of my clients are aware of from the get-go: publishing is a go-big or go-home business. I'm not saying increase your risk, but there are a number of small things that will make a big-thinking approach pay off. You can be all-in emotionally, without losing your wallet.
Let's assume you're a great writer. Your topic is timely, you're credible, you know who your customers are, and you are very logical in your overall strategic business approach. Many authors do this, sell a fair amount of books, and have every right to be proud of themselves, especially if they sell the equivalent amount that a publisher asked them to commit to for the book project – a major accomplishment, to be sure.
But, what I don't see many doing is hitting the pavement to simultaneously push your book through multiple outlets, including an affiliate marketing program, small retail outlets, and a wider non-business (or parallel-niche) audience. I would love to see more indie authors practicing good online marketing activities, like building a list of interested customers. You don't have to sign up for anything to get many author's free stuff, which is nice for us, but very bad for the author's business. I would also like to see more authors move their RSS feed signup (the way people get the blog posts delivered to them in their inbox) to someplace more visible on your site. I want more podcasts. I want online training. And I want more interactivity.
Many author's blogs get buried within their current site, meaning you have to click around the find the blog, which could be their biggest mistake. Make it the first page! The first thing people see! Even if you're freelancing other writing, and selling a decent number of books anyway, think bigger! You could be building a wider following, and enhancing your personal profile, in minutes a day by making the blog the forefront of your website. If your existing website is a little flat, pump it up, and correct any lingering usability issues like buttons that don't quite work the way you want, etc. Polish it up to a nice shine.
Why don't all writers set their sights higher? A good book is hard to come by, and I know many writers that have several, each worth bragging about – yet they don't. When one book is not wonderfully profitable, the next one is harder to write. Even if your self-publishing business doesn't seem to be suffering, waiting until that is happening is the wrong time to start additional marketing activities.

I'm burning some of Tango TV's episodes to CDs so I can listen to them in my car while driving. It's nice to have tangible copies of these. But many of them are over 80 minutes long and can't be burned to CDs, unless of course I want to split them in two CDs. I happened to have exactly enough blank CD-Rs for the episodes I haven't listened to yet but now it turns out I need a few extra.

Just to back up my complaints on Double Impact's E1M8, was more to do with wanting some more rockets/plasma to making disposing the cybers at the end a little less frustrating.
The other reason was the baron crusher failing many times in most ports causing the player to be trapped within the central arena.

Great shoes

Runs very short
"Cute shoe, but barely could squeeze my foot into a 9. I will try the next size. Normally, I don't even bother trying the next size on a small running shoe because the next size is usually a tiny bit long, and when I buy it I end up getting blisters. But this shoe is so small that I think the next size may actually fit."
