Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Wood River Junction RI is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however several changes were made at the standard opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made enough difference to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually withstood with purists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Wood River Junction RI and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first variation but, due to the added equipment needed to fulfill new United States emission and security regulations, was much heavier than the very first model. Performance was minimized and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold. Second generation Mustangs were available between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly large enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body styles available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang served as an Indianapolis 500 pace automobile and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Wood River Junction RI with special collector financing available.
4th generation style was available from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the very first significant redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone incorporated a number of styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design included a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a basic 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, CA was a happening place this past and final weekend of February. Big Willow saw a time attack event, Horse Thief Mile welcomed the opening Pro Am Just Drift slide fest and Streets of Willow filled up with Porsche owners. Porsche Club of America (PCA) rented Streets for a combination time trial and Driver Education and Evaluation (DEET) course. Southern California PCA Zone 8 members showed up in spades with a range of platform types. Lightly modded GT3s to 944s and race builds came together for what was a sunny day on the used and abused circuit.
During the mad dash to check out the action occurring at all three of the main tracks within the Willow Springs facility, we managed to peruse the paddocks for parked Porsches. The gallery of imagery here was taken during the lunch break and covers the majority of PCA members in attendance. Enjoy!

Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is an inherited condition in which cysts in the center of each kidney cause the kidneys to gradually lose their ability to work.
Alternative Names
Familial juvenile nephronophthisis; Senior-Loken syndrome
Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is very similar to the childhood disease familial juvenile nephronophthisis (NPH). Both lead to scarring of the kidney and fluid-filled cavities (cysts) in the deeper parts of the kidney.
In these conditions, the kidneys do not concentrate the urine enough. This leads to too much urine production and the loss of sodium and other important chemicals from the blood.
MCKD occurs in older patients. NPH is found in young children. Both conditions are inherited.
NPH may occur with eye or nervous system problems. MCKD is limited to the kidneys.
Early in the disease, symptoms may include:
- Excessive urination (polyuria)
- Salt cravings
Urination at night(nocturia)
- Weakness
Late in the disease, symptoms of kidney failure may develop, which include:
- Coma
- Decreased alertness
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Frequent hiccups
- Headache
- Increased skin color (skin may appear yellow or brown)
- Itching
Malaise(general ill feeling)
- Muscle twitching or cramps
- Nausea
- Pale skin
- Reduced sensation in the hands, feet, or other areas
- Vomiting blood or blood in the stool
- Weight loss
- Weakness
Exams and Tests
Blood pressure may be low. The skin may be:
Abnormally colored
Easy to bruise
Tests that may be done include:
24-hour urine volumeand electrolytes
Blood urea nitrogen(BUN)
Complete blood count(CBC)
Creatinine– blood
Creatinine clearance– blood and urine
- Uric acid – blood
Urine specific gravity(will be low)
The following tests can help diagnose this condition:
Abdominal CT scan
Abdominal ultrasound Kidney biopsy
- Kidney ultrasound
There is no cure for this disease. At first, treatment focuses on controlling symptoms, reducing complications, and slowing the progression of the disease. Because so much water and salt are lost, you will need to drink plenty of fluids and take salt supplements to avoid dehydration.
As the disease gets worse, kidney failure develops. Treatment may involve medications and diet changes, limiting foods containing phosphorus and potassium. You may need dialysis and a kidney transplant.
For detailed information on treatment, see:
Chronic kidney failure
End-stage kidney disease
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most people with MCKD reach end-stage kidney disease between ages 30 and 50. Lifelong treatment may control the symptoms of chronic kidney disease. The cysts that occur with MCKD may be very small, but large numbers of them can lead to kidney problems.
Possible Complications
- Bone weakening and fractures
Cardiac tamponade
- Changes in glucose metabolism
- Congestive heart failure
- End-stage kidney disease
- Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers
- Hemorrhage (excessive bleeding)
High blood pressure Hyponatremia(low blood sodium level) Hyperkalemia(too much potassium in the blood), especially with end-stage kidney disease Hypokalemia(too little potassium in the blood)
- Infertility
- Menstrual problems
- Miscarriage
Pericarditis Peripheral neuropathy
- Platelet dysfunction with easy bruising
- Skin color changes
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any symptoms of medullary cystic disease.
Medullary cystic kidney disease is an inherited disorder. It may not be preventable.

After winning three races on Thursday to tie Gary Contessa's 2007 mark, Jacobson broke the record with favored Tiz Gianni ridden by Jacobson regular David Cohen and co-owned by Jacobson and Drawing Away Stable.
Jacobson, a 59-year-old native of New York, has already wrapped up his second straight training title on the NYRA circuit, having tied for first in 2012 with 110 victories.
"It's something very special," said Jacobson of setting the record. "I thought after we had a really good meet at Saratoga, I might have a shot. It worked out."
With three racing days left in 2013, Drawing Away Stable is the leading owner on the NYRA circuit of Aqueduct, Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course this year with 88 winners, all trained by Jacobson.
The son of the late Howard "Buddy" Jacobson, a five-time leading trainer in New York, Jacobson returned to training in 2007 after a 25-year absence.
He won his first meet title at the Big A in the spring of 2011, and saddled his first Grade 1 winner that year when Mabou took the New York Turf Writers' Cup at Saratoga.
"Setting records wasn't a goal when I came back to training; like any other professional sport, I was just trying to win a race at a time," said Jacobson. "Hopefully, we'll keep this going for a long time and break the record next year."
Alvarado to miss 3 months
Jockey Junior Alvarado will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a broken left ankle and will be out for approximately three months, agent, Mike Selitto said Monday.
Alvarado sustained the injury prior to the running of the $100,000 East View Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack on Sunday, when his mount, Miss Narcissist, flipped in the gate and unseated the rider.
Alvarado was taken by ambulance to North Shore University Hospital for X-rays and was discharged that evening to see his personal physician.
Selitto said Alvarado would await the surgery at home.
Alvarado, 27, currently is fifth in the jockey standings for the Aqueduct inner-track meet with six victories.
For the year, he has 188 wins for $12,338,908 on The New York Racing Association circuit, including 30 stakes victories, among them the Grade 1 Forego with Strapping Groom and the Grade 1 Cigar Mile Handicap aboard Flat Out.

Last Tuesday, The Brand New Life trundled their operation down I-40 to heat up the Carrboro eve at The Cat's Cradle. The band incorporates elements of different types of music into what materializes as a kind of fusion jazz/rock/world beat amalgamation which is a tremendously refreshing sound to the music lover's ear.
Reminiscent of some sort of gourmet quiche that hit's several buds on one's taste palate, The Brand New Life's sound is hard to put your finger on, although it is easy to dance and let the sweet sounds of their horns move your body. The band draws on influences from Fela and Sean Kuti, and boasts a diverse array of musicians in order to create a unique sound.
On this evening, bassist Seth Barden was really capturing the energy of the moderately crowded Tuesday night dance floor, shaking his long hair to and fro as he switched between stand-up and electric bass on several numbers. I have had the pleasure of not only observing The Brand New Life's growth as a group over the past four years, but also of knowing them personally. I have been watching some members of this band perform their craft since high school, in venues like the musty Grimsley High School auditorium, the Greensboro school from which several current and previous members of the group graduated.
One of the defining aspects that has always captivated me is their ability to keep time and rhythm, while seemingly so much is happening on stage. Tuesday evening was no different, as I was again awed at Daniel Yount's consistency on the drum set, complemented by the band's array of Conga drums.
The drums and bass are just one prong of The Brand New Life's attack on the eardrums, as horn players Walter Fancourt and Sean Smith assume the "front man" positions respectively, leading the crowd into and out of their various songs. The horns are like a spiraling whirlwind, capable of creating mass confusion while still pleasurably keeping the rhythm and moving the song along nicely.
The funny thing is, these guys make it look easy, in spite of the potential difficulty with so many sounds and band-mates to account for on stage. Their transitions are fluid; the sound of the band is organized confusion that just invades one's soul. It is as if the extremities of the crowd members have surrendered their wills to music, while The Brand New Life plays puppeteer on stage. Just when the beat begins to linger, the effects of the lone electric guitar pick up and revitalize listeners and band mates alike.
The Brand New Life is a smorgasbord of musical composition and talent. The music is as diverse as the members who comprise the outfit. As I mentioned, some members of the group bring their talents from right here in Greensboro, NC, while some come all the way from West Africa. In talking to some of the attendees at the show, I was interested to hear some of the average listener's opinions.
One comment specifically stuck out, to paraphrase: "Popularizing music like this here is like popularizing soccer in the United States: only the intelligent people get it." While I do not watch too much Futbol myself, I perfectly understood this remark. The sound is so different from anything else, and seems to attract a very appreciative high-brow and intelligent set of ears. Taking in a Brand New Life show is like going to an educational symposium of sound. The attendee WILL come out the other side with more mental stimulation then he or she entered with.
As their set concluded, I thought how lucky I have been to witness the formation and transformation of The Brand New Life's music. I have first-handedly observed a group of people whom I am honored to call my friends take their admittedly different sound from out of the basement and into the forefront of many North Carolinian's musical consciousness. The show last Tuesday exemplifies their ability to shake a room with an original flavor, and The Brand New Life can be an inspiration to other bands that shy away from traditional categorization.

2000 Dodge Dakota - Dynamic DakotaPosted in Project Vehicles on April 1, 2006
A while back we expressed some interest in building a '97-and-up Dakota. Our thinking was: prices are dropping, midsize truck, available V-8, good looks, a natural for a solid-axle swap. Unfortunately wesometimes plan beyond our available bank account, and getting another project in the garage would only take away from our countless other projects right now. But we weren't the only ones that saw the potential in the Dakota. Jaime Keating had similar big Dak dreams, and with the help of WFO Concepts he finished a Dakota that we'd be proud to have called one of our own. Now instead, we're just jealous.
We were able to catch up for one of the Dakota's maiden runs up in Fordyce, California. Unfortunately, a rare case of defective ring gear plagued the Dakota and two teeth were lost before any real body damage could be done. Too bad. We bet a 3-foot-long fender crease would've looked good on the passenger side.
A Dana 60 from a '99 E-350 van was used in the rear for its width, factory disc brakes, and drum-style parking brake. It was outfitted with an ARB Air Locker and 4.56 gears to turn the 30-spline axles. It's slung from the factory Dakota leaves, but done with a spring-over conversion, 3-inch blocks, and King remote reservoir shocks. Since the rear suspension was now more prone to wrapup (being changed from spring-under to spring-over) WFO Concepts laid on a custom torque arm with a Johnny Joint and shackle up front so as not to inhibit suspension flex. If you look closely you can see the 35-inch tire shoved up into the factory spare's location under the bed with a little massaging of the metal.
That's a high-pinion Dana 44 ring gear you're looking at packed with an ARB Air Locker, Yukon alloy shafts, and OX joints. The 3/4-ton Ford disc brakes stop the front, while tone rings that WFO outfitted for the factory ABS keep them from locking up. It's a rare happenstance, but every now and then ring-gear materials can be defective. This Dakota's new set lost two teeth in just a few short miles which ended its trip for the day. Moving a custom crossover steering is a '79 Ford power-steering box custom-mounted to the frame. WFO Concepts built the Dakota to perform primarily on the trail, but didn't want it to lose its street cred. A parallel four-link with a Panhard rod was used up front to hold the axle in place under 14-inch-travel King coilovers, while a Speedway Engineering antisway bar with DOM links keeps roll to a minimum. Behind the four-link sits WFO Concepts' heavy-duty Belly skid that protects the fixed-yoke NP231HD and Klune-V 4.3 underdrive behind the four-speed automatic tranny. The Belly skidplate has become a sort-of signature piece for WFO Concepts, with most of their projects leaving the shop wearing serious protection under the frame and in between the axles.
Vehicle: '00 Dakota
Engine: 5.9L Magnum V-8
Tranny: Four-speed automatic
Transfer Case: NP231HD with a Klune-V 4.3 Underdrive
Front Axle: High-pinion Dana 44 with ARB Air Locker
Rear Axle: Dana 60 with disc brakes and ARB Air Locker
Tires & Wheels: 36x13.50x17 Iroks on Allied bead locks
Suspension: Four-link with Panhard rod and King coilovers in front, spring-over conversion in rear
Bumper/Winch: Hanson front bumper/Warn 9,000

Life is full of challenges. They are not supposed to affect you but are supposed to help you discover the inner you. Most people are afraid to take them. I have learnt one thing over time- Accepting challenges that life throws upon you, only makes you stronger in the end. Even if you fail, you have learnt something at the end of it.
Never be scared of failure, learn to face it.
"The word "crisis" is from the Greek, meaning "a moment to decide."
Never limit your options by quitting on a challenge. Change your path- Find a new path. Do simply anything, but never give up.
Either someone at some stage in life can come in your way or you can challenge yourself with a goal, something that you really want to achieve. Treat the journey towards that goal as a learning experience to better yourself. Remember, you only see obstacles in your way when you take your sight off the target.
Like everything in life, if you want to get something you need to have the determination that will keep you going. If you are not committed, you will never do what is needed to achieve the goals you want.
I was recently at a conference where one of the speakers spoke of dreaming. Dreaming is absolutely essential. You need to dream and picture yourself achieving something, to actually get there.
Be realistic when creating your goals by observing your current stage and position in life. Also, you must set your priorities right. Remember, that every step along the way to achieving a goal is just as important as the last step. There are no shortcuts to success and the harder you work, the sweeter is the reward.
There is no time like the present. The one thing worse than not setting a goal, it is setting a goal and leaving it to sit in words and dreamland.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.
That is why it is called the present."

It's a challenge to overcome challenges. That being said, nothing is more rewarding than overcoming a challenge, no matter of it's nature.
well as the saying goes, living is failing and trying all over again. life would be so boring if we don't experience failure.
Sometimes challenges is all we need. How can we live a meaningful life when it becomes so easy? Challenges makes us strong.
There some certain challenges that would shake your life. Having enough courage to face them would let you overcome them.
thanks for the information you provided. Please write more about it.
This is a great article, thanks.
Dreaming is absolutely essential. You need to dream and picture yourself achieving something, to actually get there.
Challenge is fantastic. It is a good life drive. In my case though it turned to be addiction.. don't be scared. If I don't have some sort of challenge at work, at home.. I could sleep all day. Everything depends on how the things are organized in your head. One is sure, once you heat one challenge you want more and that is something what can really push you forward.. and remember… never doubt in yourself..
Great Post and lot of things to learn here . Thanks for such informative blog.
Good for you sharing the information..Life is full of unexpected twists and turns…We have to take challenges thats very sportive to life…Thank you for writing such good posts…
"Even if you fail, you have learnt something at the end of it." – not only that but in my experience at least, the greatest lessons I have ever learned came with a bit of pain
The more you fail and keep trying, the better your chances of success become.
Like everything in life, if you want to get something you need to have the determination that will keep you going. That's right.
If you don't take on the things that seem challenging, then you will never know your limits. If you don't find the edge of those limits, then you will never be the best you can be.

In case you are interested we develop an iPhone app which copies contacts from Blackberry, Nokia and other phones to iPhone.
I like your word "yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery and today is a gift"
Why we afraid to take a challenge because Challenge give a new chance to do smoothing great which is change everything. Without facing challenge, Never get great success.
I have submitted few guest posts. I not very well know the positivity and the negativity of guest post. One more thing is that Guest post can take the edge from your own blog too.

Maginot Technologies needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 529 designs submitted by 140 freelance designers.
We're seeking a logo for Elixir, a coffeehouse by day and wine bar by night, located in an upscale mixed-use community. The look we're going for with the place is what we call, "faded elegance". Please read the brief in full and view the PDF link before submitting. Thanks for your interest!
The BusinessAt
just under 3,000 square feet, Elixir is more than double the size of a good
sized Starbucks and is a destination location. We'll serve artisanal coffees
and pastries in the mornings, salads and sandwiches during the day, and wine,
cheeses, and a tapas style menu at night. Evenings will feature art showings

invigorated by a youthful energy. Think
early 1970's Mercedes convertibles, before they started getting squared off… The
theme is elegant, but not stuffy, leather that's acquired a rich patina and
actually looks better with wear, oriental rugs that look better now than they
did when they were new 100 years ago.
it's elegance, because it's "faded", it's warm and approachable.
good analogy is a really well done loft conversion. Taking an old, elegant

Neo-Nazi Torturer Of LGBT Youth, Maxim Martsinkevich, Now In Custody In Russia
We reported last week that Maxim Martsinkevich, the leader of the Russian anti-gay Neo-Nazi group Occupy Pedophilia who lured and tortured LGBT teens in Russia, had been arrested in Cuba.
As of today, he's in custody in Russia following deportation by Cuban authorities.
A spokesperson for the Russian Federal Security services told LGBTQ Nation that Maxim Sergeyevich Martsinkevich, also known by his street nickname "Tesak" (or, the "Cleaver") arrived at the Russian capital's Sheremetyevo Airport after a direct flight from Havana, and was immediately detained by Russian law enforcement.
He is being held on charges of committing a crime under Art. 282 of the Russian Criminal Code – incitement of hatred or enmity and human dignity with violence – in connection with videos that his anti-gay Russian group "Occupy Pedophilia" had posted online.
Martsinkevich faces a sentence of 3 to 5 years in prison if convicted at trial.
Three to five years seems very light considering the damage he's done.
(H/T: Joe. My. God. via LGBTQ Nation)
Why blur the face of the victim in this publication? It wasn't blurred when the torturer put it all over social media. Its the shock of the reality of it that caused the uproar that shamed Russian authorities into arresting this bastard. So what's the problem. Just cover your delicate eyes Brian, WE have work to do .
The victims faces should be blurred out of respect for what they have gone through. These Poor individuals have gone through hell, and deserve some quiet private time to heal. Continually showing their faces does not afford them the respect they deserve. We should continue to fight this man and make him accountable for his crimes, but leave those who have suffered out of the Frey while they heal. Besides these youths live in Russia and continually showing their faces sets them up as targets in their homeland for other hate mongers. The choice of whether they should be the public face for what happened at the hands of this monster, from this point forward is theirs to make, and no one else's.

Dutch Communications Agency Cracks Down On Pirate Stations; Can Go From 'Warning' To 'Fine' In 30 Minutes
from the sorry,-lenscrafters,-time-to-step-up-your-game deptThe Radio Communications Agency of the Netherlands has ramped up its efforts against pirate radio stations, which it claims are disrupting non-pirate radio stations along with airline communication. This isn't so surprising, as it has been increasing fines and enforcement over the past few months.
In response, pirates have been setting up stations using collapsible antennas (some reaching as high as 40 meters) in order to shift venues, as it were, should The Man suddenly appear. In response to the pirates' response, the Radio Communications Agency has expedited its processes to the point that it can now make this amazing/perhaps unbelievable claim:
The illegal broadcasters could be fined 2,500 euros just half an hour after receiving a warning letter.Without any further details forthcoming, it's hard to imagine how this works. Here in the U.S., it can take months for the FCC to hand down a judgment and fine offending pirate radio stations. Officials in the Netherlands have been able to push their turnaround time down from several weeks over the past several months, and they've got a smaller area to police, but a half hour?
If it can trim it to a half hour between the arrival of the warning letter and the fine, wouldn't it just be easier to include the paperwork for the fine in the same envelope? Or is someone trailing the mail carrier with his or her fingers poised on the speed dial for the local enforcement team? The mind boggles. (And by "boggles," I mean "tends not to believe.") Or maybe it's some sort of EULA ("By reading this letter, you agree to be fined directly for illegal broadcasting...) wrapped in a Mission Impossible-esque self-destruction device, only instead of self-destruction, your warning letter morphs into a bill for $2,500 Euros.
No matter the delivery method, it's a bold claim, one equaled only by Domino's Pizza's long-remembered (but oft-violated) slogan of "30 minutes or it's free." Unfortunately for the pirates, there's nothing free about this offer.

9.4 Regtest comparison
Before modified code is committed to
master (via
a regression test
comparison must be completed to ensure that the changes have
not caused problems with previously working code. The comparison
is made automatically upon compiling the regression test suite
makewith current git master without any of your changes.
Before making changes to the code, establish a baseline for the comparison by
going to the '$LILYPOND_GIT/build/' directory and running:
make test-baseline
- Make your changes, or apply the patch(es) to consider.
- Compile the source with 'make' as usual.
Check for unintentional changes to the regtests:
make check
After this has finished, a regression test comparison will be available (relative to the current 'build/' directory) at:
For each regression test that differs between the baseline and the changed code, a regression test entry will be displayed. Ideally, the only changes would be the changes that you were working on. If regressions are introduced, they must be fixed before committing the code.
Note: The special regression test 'test-output-distance.ly' will always show up as a regression. This test changes each time it is run, and serves to verify that the regression tests have, in fact, run.
If you are happy with the results, then stop now.
If you want to continue programming, then make any additional code changes, and continue.
- Compile the source with 'make' as usual.
To re-check files that differed between the initial
'make test-baseline' and your post-changes
'make check', run:
make test-redo
This updates the regression list at 'out/test-results/index.html'. It does not redo 'test-output-distance.ly'.
- When all regressions have been resolved, the output list will be empty.
Once all regressions have been resolved, a final check should be completed
by running:
make test-clean make check
This cleans the results of the previous 'make check', then does the automatic regression comparison again.
Advanced note: Once a test baseline has been established, there is no need to run it again
unless git master changed. In other words, if you work with several branches
and want to do regtests comparison for all of them, you can
make test-baseline with git master, checkout some branch,
make and
make check it, then switch to another branch,
make test-clean,
make and
make check it without doing
make test-baseline again.

Business school students ages 24-30.
The shirt should have a play on the letter F and/or the year 2011 but in a tasteful manner (still representing the school name/brand). Examples of other sections include: "Sex-C" for section C, "Nothing but a G thang" for section G, etc.
Shirt must say somewhere Wharton Cohort F Class of 2011.
Designs will be judged as much on humor as on artistic design, looking for optimal combination. We want something that stands out and is funny.
Should be somewhat irreverant but don't go too far.

Missouri Man Charged With Spreading HIV Says He's Had More Than 300 Sexual Encounters Since Diagnosis
Authorities across the Plains are scrambling to find hundreds of men who may have unknowingly been exposed to HIV during a casual sex encounter with David Mangum (pictured).
Mangum, who is now in custody in Missouri after transmitting HIV to his roommate, claimed to have had 300 sex partners since finding out he is HIV positive in 2003.
Up to 60 of those contacts allegedly occurred after he moved to Missouri two years ago from Dallas, where he has convictions for prostitution, indecent exposure and public lewdness.
Many of his trysts stemmed from Craigslist ads, he told investigators, and he would meet up with men at parks, truck stops and other remote locations. Police believe many were truckers or others passing through the region, and because Mangum had little information about many of the men, investigators are concerned about finding potential victims, Dexter police detective Cory Mills said.
"First names with no phone numbers or addresses — that's going to be a challenge," Mills said.
Local county clinics in Missouri have reported an increase in HIV testing since news broke.
Police say that Mangum seems unapologetic and has blamed a "fear of rejection" on not informing sexual partners of his status. He has pleaded not guilty but faces life in prison if convicted on the current charge.
Missouri has some of the country's strictest laws regarding the matter. Should Mangum get life in prison if convicted of recklessly another with HIV?
This is a great reminder that it is up to you and you alone to stay responsible and safe out there!
HI My Name is MARIAN DUSS, I wish to share my
testimonies with the
general public about what this man called Dr LAWCY
of( firstname.lastname@example.com ] has just done for me , this man has just did what I thought nobody will ever do for me, i was HIV positive when one of my family friend introduce this man to me, I never believed that great DR LAWCY could do this, when I contacted him on this same issue on ground, he casted some spell for me and gave me some parcel to drink, now I am so happy to say that the virus I was having In my body have left me.
All thanks to DR LAWCY. If you are out there passing through this same kind of
problems you can
contact him today on his mail ( email@example.com )
and he will also help
you as well with his great spell caster, THANKS BE TO DR LAWCY....
And what about people - straight women and men included - who have HPV and are going around spreading it? You can die from some of the things HPV can cause. I have a real problem with this HIV stigma. Everyone has to protect themselves. There is NO difference between having sex with someone who is HIV poz or neg - if you want to stay clear of the virus, that is. You have to have the same kind of safer sex with everyone. This story infuriates me.
First, let's point out the obvious: anyone finding random sex partners online should assume ALL partners are HIV+ and plan accordingly.
But there is also a larger issue at play: criminalizing people who don't disclose only reinforces the idea that you shouldn't get tested, because if you don't KNOW that you're HIV-positive, you can't be prosecuted. Which is doubly unfortunate, because if people are positive, they can get on medications, get undetectable, and reduce transmission to almost zero. There's a whole site on the topic here:http://www.hivlawandpolicy.org/
While I do not condone Mangum's behavior, his partners share some responsibility: they could have asked Mangum about his HIV status, and they could have insisted on using condoms. The good news is HIV treatment is so advanced (for those with access to healthcare) that life expectancy is not reduced for someone newly diagnosed.
Yes! He should get either life in prison or the death penalty. He is basically slowly murdering many people, an HIV serial killer. If you have HIV and/or AIDS, look for others with the same diagnosis and have sex with them. If you think that is "too hard", try support groups. I am sure that is how many HIV+ people find mates, although I am not sure so anyone reading this do not be a troll and tell me to prove it.
Your segregationist view on the "others with the same diagnosis" and "support groups" is appalling. If sero-dischordant couples are having sex and the positive partner is healthy and on meds – especially if he's the bottom – the risk is very, very low. Add safer sex to that mix, and everyone should be just fine. I am negative and don't discriminate against dates/boyfriends/partners based on status. My ex of 6 years is positive, we weren't that careful, and we had no problem. Come out of the dark ages, Bob.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Realism Takes a Holiday
You know you've seen this style before - its often been used for travel ads - and 13 years earlier in the pages of the same magazine a different illustrator used a similar style for this Union Pacific ad below. Of course there are nuanced differences that reflect some 1940's characteristics and perhaps in a small way, the personality of the artist... but I place it in the same general retro category.
I'm sure you could find many examples of the same style from decades earlier (with subtle variations) - and you still see it being employed by illustrators today. Why, when so many other styles have come and gone, does this one keep resurfacing time and again?
Some years ago I read a fascinating book called "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. One interesting concept McCloud discusses is "amplification through simplification": taking a realistic image and simplifying it - making it more 'cartoon-like' - to amplify an audience's ability to relate to that image.
For instance, the simplified, faceless couple enjoying a horseback ride at a dude ranch (below) could represent a great many people - and therefore a great many people could imagine themselves in the saddle when they look at the image.
"By stripping down an image to its essential 'meaning', an artist can amplify that meaning in a way that realistic art can't," writes McCloud.
The ultimate example of this symplifying process is, of course, the symbols of a man or woman on the door of a public washroom. Stripped of all realistic characteristics, the essential meaning of those symbols is emminently clear to anyone.
While different styles of illustration have come in and out of fashion, the 'retro style' stands the test of time because it fulfills this essential purpose as an "information graphic".
Todays images can be seen at full size in my Travel Flickr set.

Leif, in my opinion, McCloud's quotations and your analysis are both right on the money. We used to call them "stock illustrations" and I've heard it referred to as "spot illustrations". As you point out, they simplify or eliminate detail, use relatively flat color and use as few brush strokes as possible. It's not as easy as it looks, and there is always that temptation to put a little more resolve into it. It takes a keen sense of design, understanding values and free confident brushwork. The result was a stylized, eye catching, generic illustration that doesn't spell it all out to the viewer. Therefore, the concept is timeless, and with a bit of updating, I think it works as well today as it did back then.ReplyDelete

Another appeal to this style is it is almost invariably used to depict a "friendly universe." One can't imagine a depiction of misery with this style in terms of color and vividness. Of course, that would make sense with its use in ads. But I think its not just the simplicity, but the conveying of a happy world. Old Nat'l Geos used these alot, and sometimes in black and white, too. Same effect: pleasure in a colorful world.ReplyDelete

Transfer news: Norwich hope to sign Leeds striker Luciano Becchio
Norwich manager Chris Hughton is hoping to secure the services of Leeds striker Luciano Becchio in the next 24 hours.
Last Updated: 31/01/13 11:43am
Following the 1-1 draw with Tottenham - which extended Norwich's winless run in the Premier League to seven matches - Hughton admitted he needs more firepower at his disposal.
"The clubs are in discussion and that's one that I hope gets done," Hughton said.
Steve Morison could move to Elland Road as part of the Becchio switch and Hughton added: "Whether that has to be part of the deal or not, I don't know. That's what the talks are."
Hughton is still interested in signing Celtic's Gary Hooper, but he is unsure whether a deal can be thrashed out before the window slams shut.
"Everybody's aware where we are with him," Hughton said. "We have put in bids for him which have been turned down by Celtic. It's their prerogative. He's a very important player for them.
"Whether anything further will happen with that one, I don't know."
Kei Kamara will arrive from Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City once the paperwork is completed.
Hughton said: "From what I've seen of him, we're not just taking an average player from that division. We're taking a player from that division that has excelled in recent seasons.
"I think he'll give us another dimension in the forward area."

Does anybody know what happened to the 80´s singer Junior Khadaffy? Even though i don´t own any of his releases i have always rated "Rampers Music" from 89 which, as far as am aware, hasn´t been reissued (reissue labels, wink wink ). I´ve searched around but had a hard time to find any info on him - was he JA based? On discogs i can see most of his releases are on US pressings, and i think (without remembering where i heard from) that he was from NYC? Is he still alive, and if he is, has he been active since the 80´s/early 90´s?
Thanks in advance!

50 thoughts on "The Hitler As Symbol Chart"
Some of the replies to this post are really going to depress me aren't they?
The problem with rules 1-5 is that they leave no room for the fact that there could be another Hitler. As in: it insists Hitler was a complete historical anomaly, and no one else could ever really be as bad as *that*, so don't you even go there. But the thing is, even Hitler wasn't always HITLER. And to reserve all comparisons to Hitler until someone has emerged as a clear, irrefutable new HITLER is to keep the historical lesson in our collective back pocket until it's entirely too late.
"it insists Hitler was a complete historical anomaly, and no one else could ever really be as bad as *that*" — Good grief. Stalin and Mao were worse or even far worse than Hitler. Pol Pot, too. Macias Nguema may be the worst of them all — he killed a third of his country's people, which is most impressive.
The reason Hitler is considered (rightly) so evil is because he came from an advanced, civilized nation, and there was no reason for what he did. A lot of dictators killed a lot of people which is. of course, morally wrong. But, rightly or wrongly, we have lower expectations for people who don't come from a prosperous, cultured, educated, nation with an advanced civilization and scientists, artists, and philosophers. It;s almost expected that people in other, backwards countries behave like this, but not a nation that closely resembles our own. More to the point, Hitler exterminated the Jews (and other groups) for no reason. Usually when dictators murder their people, it's for land or to consolidate power, or for some reason. Again, which is horrible. No one has ever defended Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot by saying, "well, at least they weren't Hitler." But there is something especially cruel about coldblooded mass murder for no reason except you don't like someone's ethnicity.
And I can't believe I'm talking about Hitler on the place I go to talk about baseball. This won't end well.
I do understand your point, but…
'No one has ever defended Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot by saying, "well, at least they weren't Hitler."' — I think that's actually been the majority opinion. It certainly was when Roosevelt decided to leave Stalin alone at the end of WWII.
'But there is something especially cruel about coldblooded mass murder for no reason except you don't like someone's ethnicity.' — Funny, that's a pretty good description of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor .
No, Roosevelt left Stalin alone at the end of WWII because he had no choice short of another war.
Invitro, can we at least agree that Hitler didn't deserve the Nobel Prize for Peace or is that going too far in defending Stalin?
Marc, that is true and also doesn't contradict what I said. So why the "No"?
Marc, Roosevelt had no choice but to leave Hitler alone short of a war.
Patton was eager to have that war, and tried to start it by himself. He was held back. If they had given him 30 days, Eastern Europe would have been free.
Invitro, The no is because I think your statement suggests some sort of normative judgement of Stalin vs. Hitler. I don't think it had anything to do with that, although I acknowledge that many people in the West at the time were sympathetic with Stalin or at least with the Russian people. But WW II occurred, not because Hitler killed millions in Germany and the east, but because he waged aggressive war in the West (and, obviously, Russia). The question of "who was worse" in a moral sense was irrelevant to the issue of how to deal with Russia after the war.
"Invitro, can we at least agree that Hitler didn't deserve the Nobel Prize for Peace or is that going too far in defending Stalin?" — Well, probably. But Obama got the Nobel Prize for Peace, so who knows what the criteria are… 🙂
> No one has ever defended Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot by saying, "well, at least they weren't Hitler."
After explaining why they aren't Hitler.
Those cultures are so inferior, it's not so bad if they murder tens of millions. They can't help themselves.
And you are talking about Russia, which had its European culture for 1000 years before Stalin. If Putin heard you talking like that, he might have you poisoned.
This is a bit of a mis-read on post-WW1 Germany. It may have been an advanced civilization at one time. But, the country was in chaos with a weak and failing government, runaway inflation and a collapsed economy. Not to mention the war reparations they owed. In fact, post war Germany was no longer an advanced society & was the perfect situation for a dictator. A hopeless situation with a powerful orator offering simple solutions and scapegoats for their dire situation. Hitler used his initial popularity to rewrite the Constitution and the laws to give him absolute power. And while he was clear about what he intended to do, most people just didn't care and didn't see anyone else offering solutions.
In the end, Hitler did rebuild the economy & made Germany powerful as he had promised. But he also promised that he would punish the jews and showed that he would use violence to achieve his ends. People, however, embraced him & maybe naively though it wouldn't go as far as it did.
I look at Hitler as a cautionary tale for any civilization that is in crisis and looks for easy answers from its politicians. But humans have proven to be incapable of resisting the lure of easy answers. It's gone on since the Kings of the Old Testament to today. It will continue unfortunately. Maybe the dictators that arise in current times won't take it to the degree of Hitler, but they all have their scapegoats and they all murder their opponents.
The fact is, most people in Germany did not vote for the Nazis. The Nazis never got more than 37% of the vote (until the rigged elections under the Nazis.) What really happened is that, with the onset of the Depression, the center parties collapsed and the extreme parties of both the left (Communists) and the right (Nazis) got stronger. The conservatives who were in the government (e.g., President Hindenburg) weren't necessarily thrilled with Hitler but they thought he was a safer alternative and that they would be able to control him. And the middle classes thought Hitler would be safer than the Communists. Plus, the Nazis, although not a majority, had enough strength to demand that Hitler be made chancellor. Hitler didn't necessarily focus on killing the Jews; he focused on taking Germany back and regaining its strength in the world. Anti-Semitism was, obviously, always part of that, but it wasn't necessarily everything. The Weimer Republic was weak and unpopular but I think your analysis understates the effect of the Depression. Without the Depression, it's quite possible the Nazis were never have come to power.
If they were not so advanced, how did they develop all those weapons, or have the industry to conduct their war?
True, people did not take his statements seriously. Germany was considered the most Jew friendly country in Europe, and people mocked those who sounded the alarm.
"If they were not so advanced, how did they develop all those weapons, or have the industry to conduct their war?" — I bet Kim Song Un knows…
>especially cruel about coldblooded mass murder for no reason except you don't like someone's ethnicity.
That's what Stalin did to the Ukraine. New York Times won a Pulitzer for their reporter who lied about it and glorified Stalin.
Yes, the New York Times was practically the Western edition of Pravda for many years.
"Stalin and Mao were worse or even far worse than Hitler."
Not for Jews.
They also didn't hate blacks and Hispanics. Maybe I'm wrong about Stalin and Mao? 🙂
Because there were lots of Jews in China. Soviet Jews were not treated well either, but you are right, not as badly as under Hitler.
Agreed. Usually when the comparison is made (and sometimes the comparison IS valid) is because that particular evil hasn't been wiped out. Racism from some nobody on 4chan is still racism. Racism that has a wink and an "lol libtards are so sensitive I'm just trolling" is racism. No, these people aren't as bad as Hitler but that's really not a justification or excuse.
But, specific to Spicer today…yeah, he should have followed the chart.
Didn't think to bring this up anytime Trump was called Hitler, or even 'literally Hitler'?
It's ironic that when people loosely (and recklessly) use Hitler as a comparison to Trump, nobody bats an eye. But if Sean Spicer refers to Hitler? Everybody loses their minds. Sean Spicer is a Grade A idiot – a smug, condescending little man who probably punches babies. I just wish the outrage aimed at Spicer would be consistent and also aimed at other idiots who compared Trump (or, really, anyone) to Hitler.
In Spicer's defense, some of those babies really had it coming.
No one called Trump Hitler. No one. It has been said, correctly, that the start of the Trump regime bore resemblances to the start of brutal fascist regimes like Hitler's. The attacks on the judiciary, the free press, and the opposition are textbook totalitarian strategies. Even Keith Olbermann, one of the most brutal (and accurate) Trump critics has not called Trump Hitler. He has said that Trump's governance resembles that of the onset of the Nazis. Which it has mirrored the starts of many totalitarian fascist regimes.
And the attacks the Obama administration made on people living outside of big cities, on industry, on police officers, and on the opposition are textbook (Saul Alinsky's textbook, among others) totalitarian strategies. And these strategies did a huge amount of real harm, unlike Trump's calling out of lie-mongering reporters. 🙂
Trump is not Hitler. He is just a despicable,ignorant, mendacious, narcissistic piece of crap. How is that?
"Despicable" is way too strong.
Deplorable, then? 🙂 Sorry, couldn't resist…
In vitro, the biggest difference is that those didn't actually happen. Obama didn't attack rural voters, his criticism of police was limited to those actually abusing their power, the environmental concerns and need for prudent regulation on industry isn't an attack, but a balance of the needs of people vs the abuses that come from an unfettered short term profit motive, (Laissez Faire capitalism has led to disaster for most citizens whenever and wherever it has been tried.)
Absolutely correct.
If by no one, you mean lots of people, then you are right. Sean Spicer didn't call Assad Hitler either. He actually claimed(wrongly) he was worse on one detail, making a big gaffe.
Huh, there appear to be more Trumpeters amongst the BRs than I might have guessed. For anyone keeping score at home, please do NOT count me amongst them – far from it. But, Louis CK is presumably at least one of the people whom the OP might be referring to, since he did so in a high-profile email to his fan base, and since Joe has written more than once of his admiration for, um, Mr CK?
Here's what Louis C.K. said: "It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the '30s. Do you think they saw the sh-t coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all." Well, he's just an ignorant laugh-man.
I always have problems with entertainers pretending to be historians. Louis C.K. obviously knows little, if anything, about the history of Germany in the 1930s. It also ignores the constitutional system in the US, which is far stronger than in Germany in the 1930s. I don't in any way think Trump is Hitler.
But it's fair to say, I think, that Trump has appealed to some of the same fears and resentments that Hitler appealed to. If you read about the Nazis (and I do), you see a lot of the same kinds of themes in their speeches. I mean, they didn't go around saying, let's set up concentration camps for Jews and gypsies. They talked about how Germany had changed and needed to restore its place in the world. I'm not saying that the working classes that voted for Trump are all racists and violent nationalists. But not all the people that voted for Hitler were either.
It's called Gideon's law. It's well known in political circles and always surprising when it's violated.
*Godwins law. Damn autocorrect
Spicer was sinking on his own, but calling a Holocaust denier is just stupid.
I agree. I'm not a Spicer fan, at all. And the Hitler analogy is just something you wouldn't expect from a President's Press Secretary. He's supposed to be the most media savvy person in the country, and he uses a Hitler analogy? That's pure incompetence. But, I agree. The fact that it is the Passover, is an unfortunate coincidence for Spicer. He's not a Holocaust denier or a jew hater, or anything like that. He just made a ridiculous comment, at the worst possible time, for which he had to (eventually) apologize.
I agree. I don't think Spicer is smart enough to actually make a reference like that even if he wanted. He either didn't know or wasn't able to connect zyklon-b and chemical weapons. The problem is, this isn't the first time he has made idiotic comments. It's just another example of what an incompetent boob he is. Even for the various incompetent boobs that is the Trump White House, Spicer will eventually be too much.
There is a silver lining for Sean Spicer – Hitler jokes won't disqualify him from hosting ESPN's Sportscenter with Michael Smith.
Where was this chart when Hillary's camp kept telling us we were going to elect the next Hitler?
Citation, please.
The backlash to people referring to Trump as Hitler is silly, though I agree it is always dumb to compare anything to Hitler. Obama was compared to Hitler and Bush/Cheney also had people who would compare them to Hitler. I am not certain but I would certainly bet that Clinton and Reagan also had their share of these absurdities while Carter, HW Bush and Ford may all have avoided this because of general unpopularity or ineffectiveness. The point being is that it is a staple of American politics that a loud minority of the opposition party will make a fool of themselves by comparing the President to Hitler. For whatever reasons though Trump supporters feel like they need to defend him from these accusations when it would be far better to just let this go and accept it as part of anyone's presidency.
"Trump supporters feel like they need to defend him from these accusations" — I think most Trump supporters (and conservatives and moderates) are just laughing at the accusations. The same as they do to the snowflakes and microaggressees.
Trump isn't Hitler. Trump is a Republican, with all the Southern Strategy and failed ideology that comes with.
Oh God, please make it stop. Only read the first few responses.

BEACHWOOD, N.J. — A lottery-playing tradition started by the matriarch of a large New Jersey shore family paid off for her 17 children this week when the group won a $20 million jackpot that will partly be used to help family members recover from 2012's Superstorm Sandy.
"I said to myself, 'This couldn't have come at a more perfect time,"' Faith Schiabor said, describing a call she received from her sister Sigrid Endreson, who held the winning ticket for the Pick 6 prize.
"With Sandy, with the economy today, everybody's really hurting. This is definitely going to help everyone; it's going to help Ocean County because most of us live here," Schiabor said.
At a news conference Thursday, jokes mixed with some tears as the siblings described their struggle to recover from the widespread damage brought by Sandy to the Toms River area.
John Endreson, 69, became emotional when he described rebuilding his home after Sandy ripped through.
"The hardest part was seeing other people that were devastated," he said. "I was able to redo my house and help my family and my brothers. I was quite fortunate. I just feel so lucky. And this is just the icing on the cake."
Sigrid Endreson said she bought the tickets and forgot about them for about two weeks before heading down to a supermarket to check the numbers. When one came back with the message "See cashier," she ran it through again before taking it up to the window and getting the good news.
"I started to cry," she said. "I called my sister to come get me. I didn't think I was going to make it. I said, 'I think I won the lottery."'
The siblings' father emigrated from Norway to New Jersey, where he met their mother, whose family owned a farm in East Brunswick.
It was their mother, Flossie, who had played the lottery for years, a tradition continued by her children, who began pooling their money after her death about 10 years ago.
"We buy our own lottery tickets with our new families, the new generation, so to speak," said daughter Marie McHenry. "So we're not thinking of this family lottery except a few times a year when we pop in and say, 'Here's another $20 for the family lottery.' We're just thrilled we can help family members, help our churches. It's a good thing at a good time."
The family has decided to take a lump sum payment of $14 million, which is worth about $10 million after taxes.
In addition to the 17 siblings, who range in age from 53 to 76, three children of one of the siblings whose father died recently will share in the winnings, family members said Thursday.
They declined to specify how the money would be divided.
