Plastic Paradise: A Swingin' Trip Through America's Polynesian Obsession In the 1940s and '50s, the return of American GIs from the Pacific and the runaway success of James Michner's Pulitzer-winning Tales of the South Pacific (adapted into the famous musical) created a craze for all things Polynesian. This 'Tiki' culture - so named after the large, wooden sculptures popular throughout Polynesia - included candy-colored, rum-infused cocktails with names like the Shrunken Skull and the Deep Sea Diver, crazy Hawaiian shirts, exotic instrumental music fused with space-age sounds, and a nonstop party scene inhabited by self-styled nonconformists and swingers. Today, the spirit of Tiki endures among a new generation of Polynesian pop adherents, including painter Tiki Tom, musicians King Kukulele and the Haole Cats, cocktail anthropologist Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, and Tiki historian Sven Kirsten.

Transitioning to Organic: Online Course Begins Aug. 26
AMES, Iowa -- Transitioning to successful organic production requires rapid acquisition of production, marketing and financial management skills. On Aug. 26 Iowa State University is beginning a 16-week online course on organic agriculture for producers who are interested in learning about the latest techniques for transitioning into organic farming, or improving their existing organic operations.
"Organic Agriculture Theory and Practice" begins Aug. 26, 6-9 p.m. and continues on Tuesday evenings through Dec. 9. It's available online via Adobe Connect.
Classes will include lessons on weed management, nutrient management, pest management and markets for organic grain, vegetable and fruit crops. Programs and policies from USDA, NRCS and other groups to assist in the transition will be presented.
Course instructors are Kathleen Delate, professor in agronomy and horticulture, and Craig Chase, ISU Extension and Outreach farm management specialist. In addition, organic farmers and other ISU Extension and Outreach specialists will serve as guest lecturers, sharing their experiences related to developing a pest-protective farm and growing alternative crops.
A fee of $10 per session or $50 for the course will be charged to participants to cover costs of technology and managing the program. A specific url will be given to those who sign up and will be logging-on for the course. For more information or to sign up, please contact the Organic Agriculture Program at Iowa State at 515-294-7069 or contact Kathleen Delate at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Attendance at all 16 sessions will not be required unless an individual wishes to take the course as a three-credit ISU campus course, for which he or she will need to register through ISU at http://agonline.iastate.edu/courses/f2014susag584-xw.
"Increasing the domestic supply of organic food and feed grains, such as corn and soybeans, is needed to meet escalating U.S. demand, which presents a viable economic opportunity to Iowa row crop farmers. In addition, the demand for locally sourced organic produce has increased in recent years," Delate said.

Niagara USA is hosting the airlines' Africa/Middle East sales conference
Delta Air Lines is holding its Africa/Middle East sales conference this week in Niagara Falls, USA, at the Sheraton at the Falls. The Niagara Tourism & Convention Corp. has welcomed 75 of Delta's top general sales agents from Africa and the Middle East, plus Delta executives. The group is attending seminars and team building exercises that showcase the region, in addition to a corporate meeting with Delta executives.
Attendees are from a total of 22 countries in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East, including Angola, Bahrain, Egypt, Ghana, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Liberia, Nigeria, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, Uganda and Zambia.
Jimmy Eichelgruen, Delta's director of sales for Africa, Middle East and Indian Subcontinent, said the NTCC was proactive in landing his sector's annual meeting. Eichelgruen, who is based in London, said it was easy for employees to fly into the Buffalo Niagara Region.
"We are pleased to see that Niagara USA is appealing to Delta Air Lines' top employees, and that they chose us as their fall meeting destination," said John Percy, NTCC president and CEO. "I am confident this international audience will share what Niagara USA has to offer to their clients when they return home."
Delta employees have the chance to explore Niagara USA, including a ride on the Maid of the Mist and tour of the Cave of the Winds. The group will also be dining at The Como Restaurant and Becker Farms/Vizcarra Vineyards. Members will spend an afternoon at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA and take an adventure on the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours attraction.
Delta Air Lines serves more than 160 million customers each year. Delta was named domestic "Airline of the Year" by the readers of Travel Weekly magazine, was named the "Top Tech-Friendly U.S. Airline" by PCWorld magazine for its innovation in technology, and won the Business Travel News Annual Airline Survey.
The mission of the NTCC is to expand the economic prosperity of the Niagara USA communities by generating individual and group visitation.

LOS ANGELES - The biggest heel coming out of Monday's press conference to promote WrestleMania 24 wasn't the cocky Randy Orton, the slimy Edge, or even the boss Vince McMahon. It was the man that the whole shebang appears built around -- boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
A champion boxer who many consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Mayweather is preparing to drop the gloves and do some wrasslin', having already tested his moves on Dancing With the Stars.
"It's entertainment. You have a chance to just be you and do what you want to do," Mayweather, the undefeated WBC welterweight champion, said Monday after a chaotic Staples Center event that masqueraded as a news conference.
Mayweather did very little to appeal to the crowd in attendance at the Staples Center. Instead, he taunted fans for his own amusement, bragging shamelessly about his accomplishments in the boxing world and how much money he has accumulated. (His nickname is, naturally, "Money.") To illustrate his wealth, Mayweather flashed a sizable wad of cash, which he waved at the crowd, and then tossed away. A mad scramble ensued, with a light pole nearly getting knocked over and two small children caught in the chaos. One lucky man emerged from the pileup clutching six $100 bills. Bills ranged from $10 to $100.
According to a wire service report, it's meaningless money to "Money." His reported payday for his bout at WrestleMania on March 30th at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida is a cool $20-million, as confirmed by Mayweather's manager Leonard Ellerbee and WWE executive Shane McMahon.
Details of the actual match did not emerge at the press conference, however. Will it be a boxing match? A wrestling match? Some sort of hybrid?
Mayweather teased the frenzied crowd after appearing from behind a black curtain wearing a New York Yankees jacket and cap. Fans shouted insults and the name of hometown hero Oscar De La Hoya at Mayweather. "I run Vegas and I run L.A. and I will run the WWE," he boasted.
The Big Show -- sporting two black eyes, courtesy of Mayweather at the No Way Out pay per view -- walked out confidently in a business suit, shaking hands with his WWE cohorts, all the while keeping a casual eye on his impending opponent. Show did not seem the bit intimidated by the boxing superstar. When he addressed the crowd, Show cited the obvious physical differences between he and Mayweather, and said he could squash him like a flea, and he was insignificant in his presence.
"I weigh three times as much as he does," Big Show crowed. "It's not fair, but I'm a businessman and I see an opportunity for business."
The obligatory stare-down leading up to their "David vs. Goliath" match at WrestleMania was built up nicely, and did not escalate into a pull-apart brawl, which everybody was expecting anyhow. An enraged Big Show threw the podium to the ground, but otherwise showed tremendous restraint. As a matter of fact, Show came off as a slightly arrogant babyface, while Mayweather was a full-on braggadocio who got nothing but heel heat.
Mayweather's manager, Ellerbee, scoffed that hard-core boxing fans won't take Mayweather seriously after his WWE antics. "After March 30, when Floyd goes out and takes care of his business at WrestleMania, he's still going to be the best fighter in the world and the face of boxing," he said. "Tell me what changes about that? Nothing changes."
The wrestling gig is another part of Ellerbee's carefully crafted plan to expand Mayweather's fan base. "Either I'm going to be a genius with this or I'm the biggest idiot," he said. "Boxers have such a short window of opportunity. He can't become any bigger in boxing."
That's why Ellerbee snagged Mayweather a spot on ABC's reality hit Dancing With the Stars. Mayweather didn't win the disco ball trophy, but he wasn't the first one voted off, either. "It crossed him over and took him into the households of many middle-aged Middle Americans and turned him into a mainstream superstar," Ellerbee said. "Now when Floyd goes into the grocery store, the first thing 65-year-old ladies say is, 'You're Floyd from Dancing With the Stars."
Mayweather plans to train with WWE Latino star Rey Mysterio. Unlike his new charge, the masked Mysterio had the crowd in the palm of his hand. He talked about how upset he was to not be a part of WrestleMania -- he's scheduled for surgery for a torn bicep on Wednesday -- and he was very much over with the crowd, speaking Spanish.
"I'm outside the box," Mayweather said, lapsing into the third person. "Floyd Mayweather is not just a fighter, he's an entertainer. That's what the world must know."
But he hasn't forgotten his night job.
Mayweather alluded to a possible rematch with De La Hoya in September. De La Hoya lost a split decision in their last bout May 5.

Kurt Nielsen, like most of Los Angeles, was experiencing Oscar burnout on Monday, and questions why WWE would hold a press conference right after the Oscars, when most of the media was either hungover or exhausted from covering late-night parties.

Post subject: Sherman Island second Board question??
So I just got back into windsurfing and picked up a used Tabou 3S 97 liter board. I'm now looking for a used second smaller board. I weight 180lbs and sail Sherman Island exclusively. I have 4.0, 4.5, 5.2 and 6.0 Ezzy Tiger sails. I see that there are 75l, 80l, 85l Tabou Pocketwave boards in the used section. Which size do you think would suit me best for Sherman Island if I want to stick with 2 boards. I'd like something I could use with my 4.0 and 4.5 sails when my 97l board is too big. Could I also use my 5.2 sail with any of these smaller boards? Are there any other boards in the used section that may work better than the Pocketwave boards at Sherman Island. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Pete

Absolutely. I've thoroughly enjoyed 5.2s for decades with countless B&J and wave boards from 65-75 liters (at 180+ pounds), including at Sherman.

Thanks for the info. So based on my weight and the fact that I have a 97L board would I be best of going for a 75 80 or 85L second board for Sherman? Thanks

Depends on type of board, fin setup, year of board, etc. Borrow or demo a board and see how that works for your style of sailing. Then tell us what you tried and the results. Stoked to hear you are back into sailing.

I would suggest 80 liters, because it can be viewed as a more universal high wind board. As many of us know, SI can have its holes, and with the possibilities of flood tides in the mix, a bit of volume can be your friend.
Regarding Open Oceans, I've been using them since 1992, and the 80 liter size at about 21.5" wide can easily handle almost anything that SI can offer.

Thanks for the info. There is a used 80L Pocketwave board that I am considering. I think that and the 97S would cover most conditions at Sherman. Now all I can think about is sailing and I'm always checking the wind conditions. Just like back in the late 80's and early 90's but back them I had a beeper and now I have an app! God I love this sport along with all the nice people I've met at Sherman! Did my first morning session at Sherman and it was an incredible experience. Nothing like sailing after the sun has just come up. Life is good.

SO much depends on how you want and expect to sail.
Rig big and blast, or rig small and milk the wind?
Straight lines or constant carving?
Air time or hug the water?
Wander all over between the Park and Power Lines or mostly beam reach?
All that aside, the 85 to 97 gap is distinct, but not BIG. You'd generally get more overall range, without a hole in the middle, with an 80. It would be at ease with anything from 4.0 to 5.7 conditions once you get used to it ... at least by older board standards (I'd strongly prefer certain, slightly gunnier, pre-2008 wave boards for Sherman's rather discombobulated terrain). The 75 would be better when hammered on that 4.0 and the 85 would be better when on the 6.0 in fading wind, but I suspect that any of those "second boards" will quickly be promoted to First Board any time you have steady and trustworthy power with your 5.2 or smaller.
I have MANY wave boards from 65 to 96 liters, and I go over 90L only when necessary to handle EXTREMELY holey wind, rapidly dying wind, or steady wind barely strong enough to use a 6.2 w/96L. Anything better and I pretty quickly drop to 80L. OTOH, you get ebb tides (comparable to Gorge east winds) I very seldom sail; extra volume is very reassuring in those conditions.
That 80 surely sounds like a jack-of-all-trades, but then your local guys trump my very limited Sherman experience and my preference for gunnier wave boards.
And, oh yeah ... why wait 'til the sun comes up? I LOVE being on the water as soon as I can see well enough to avoid hitting shore. THAT's Dawn Patrol!

If you are thinking about a 75 or 80 liter board as your second (high wind) board, I would recommend trying it first. That small of a board will be tough to slog, tough to get going among other things in the winds that your 97 l is too much for. Almost a 20 liter spread. That is pretty big. And despite what some may say, you may NOT like the tiny board and big sail when the wind is up and down. A larger board is easier to move when slogging or slightly powered. I prefer a larger board smaller sail combo. I tend to be planing when others aren't. That being said I've seen Bruce P. and Dale C. RIPPING on big sails small boards (granted CUSTOM slalom style boards). So it really is a personal choice.
The delta may have some nuking days when you will want a 75 or maybe an 80 liter board, but I think the 85 might be a better match to your other board over all. I used to sail 4.2 to 5.2 on my 85 liter freewave all the time in the bay and delta and we are similar in weight.
Try to pick a board that will suit you best overall. You will enjoy it more. If it's overpowered 4.0 conditions, you probably won't like the 85 but then again how many of those days do you expect to see? More likely you will see the 4.5 to 5.0 conditions at the Delta.
That being said, I did get totally blown off the water on a 3.7 and a glass 70 something liter board at the delta. ONCE. One time. But I can't tell you how many times I was on a 85 or a 100 liter board.......

Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it. Well the 85L Pocketwave board is sold but the 80L Pocketwave is still available. I would use it primarily with my 4.5 and 4.0 sail. It is wide for a 80L board at 58.5cn so could I use it with the 5.2 in solid conditions or should I hold out for a 85L board or use the 80L for the 4.0 and 4.5 sail and then use the 97L for the 5.2 and 6.0. Thx, Pete
Wish I could try them out first but but not sure that's an option. Looks like the is a used 2013 86L 2013 RRD Freestyle Wave X-Tech at Second Wind Maui for sale. Would that be a better option than the 80L Pocketwave. Thx, Pete

Performing a HTC Desire VS hard reset Desire VS factory reset
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
To hard reset HTC Desire VS first power off device, or if the screen doesn't responding remove the battery.
Everything will be lost!
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
- Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem
that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a "soft" reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Performing a Desire VS factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
- Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
- Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
- On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Warning! Always turn off your device before installing/replacing the battery and SIM card.
Android 4.0 and later
In Idle mode, open the application list and select
Settings → Back up and reset→ Factory data reset → Reset device→ Delete all.

In 1975 a young man made a statement to the Catholic Church to inform them that he had been abused – that is sexually assaulted on more that one occasion by one of their priests. He also reported that other children were also being abused by the same priest. He was as much concerned for them as he was for himself. He met the church officials and gave his story while his father was asked to remain outside the room. He answered their questions honestly, even providing the names and addresses…Continue

USA Cruises to 4-1 Victory Against China in San Jose in Final Preparation Before 2007 Gold Cup
SAN JOSE, Calif. (June 2, 2007) — In the team's final preparation match before the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team steamrolled China 4-1 in front of 20,821 fans at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, Calif. Four different players tallied goals for the U.S., as DaMarcus Beasley and Benny Feilhaber tallied in the first half, and then assisted on back-to-back headed strikes from Clint Dempsey and Oguchi Onyewu.
The victory improved the USA's overall record in 2007 to 4-0-1 in five games under head coach Bob Bradley.
"Overall we were pleased with the effort," said Bradley following the match. "I think that we got a lot out of this game. Anytime you play on this field in San Jose, the fact that it is a little smaller sharpens up a lot of things. Generally, I felt that there were a lot of good efforts. It is good for us, going into the Gold Cup, to get a game like this under our belts." [More Quotes]
The U.S. jumped out to an early lead with Beasley slamming home his first-ever penalty kick for the USA in the 10th minute. It was the speedy midfielder himself who was tripped up in the penalty area, after trying to round Chinese goalkeeper Chen Dong on a breakaway that was set up with a perfectly weighted pass into space by midfielder Michael Bradley. The goal was the 13th of Beasley's 63-game career.
Just five minutes later, though, some sloppy defending got China right back into the game as centerback Zhang Yaokun pounced on a loose ball in the area and ripped an uncontested shot from 11 yards into the upper left corner of the goal. Zhang's good fortune was set up with the U.S. defense on its heels and failing to fully clear a cross into the area from the left flank. With the ball skittering out to the right, a wide-open Dong Fangzhuo shot errantly on goal, but a lunging stab from forward Wang Peng settled the ball perfectly for Zhang to rip past Tim Howard.
The winning goal for the U.S. came in the 28th minute on a beautiful combination from former U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team teammates Feilhaber and Sacha Kljestan. After Clint Dempsey found Kljestan on the right wing, Feilhaber sprinted into the area onto a pass from the first-time cap-winner and reached the bouncing ball just in front of Chen to lift it toward the goal. With the ball destined to find the net, a desperate defensive lunge from Zhang went for naught as the USA took the lead for good. [Photo Gallery]
"Sasha just sent me through," said Feilhaber. "At first the goalkeeper hesitated and I wanted him to come out. I even slowed down a little bit to see if he would come out. The ball started bouncing a little bit further away, skipped off the grass and on the second touch it sat up a bit. I figured that I would put the ball over the top. I was just hoping that the defender was not going to get there before the ball crossed the line."
The USA's dynamic 4-3-2-1 line-up took it to the Chinese from outset, with a high goal tally seeming to be in the cards as the second half began. After peppering China with a 7-2 shot advantage in the final 45 minutes, the dam finally broke for the USA with back-to-back headed goals in the 75th and 79th minute.
Dempsey knocked the USA's third goal home on a perfectly placed corner kick from Feilhaber, emerging at the backside of the goal to easily head it past the potted Chen. The goal for Dempsey was a breakthrough of sorts, after Chen had made two fine saves to keep him off the board in the preceding 10 minutes.
With the game under control, Onyewu got into the act four minutes later crushing a header past Chen from seven yards out on a free kick from Beasley.
Bradley used all six of his subs, using the match to give four players their first cap: Charlie Davies, Kamani Hill, Lee Nguyen, and Kljestan. On the other end of the spectrum, Kasey Keller inched closer to the 100-cap plateau, taking over for Howard in the nets at the start of the second half to earn his 98th international appearance.
The four-goal explosion raised the USA's goal total under Bob Bradley to 12 in five games. Perhaps more impressive than the 2.40 goals per game average for the U.S. in 2007 is the fact that eight different players have combined to score those goals. Of those 12 goals, the U.S. has also scored eight times in the second half, including two goals in every game except the team's 0-0 draw with Guatemala on March 28, 2007.
Carlos Bocanegra went the entire 90 minutes for the U.S., wearing the captain's armband for the first time in his USA career. Bocanegra is the fourth different player to serve as captain under Bradley.
"What we've tried to do is make sure that there are a group of guys who are ready to take bigger roles in this team … guys who are ready to step-up to set the tone all the time," added Bradley. "It has been really nice in every camp to see more and more guys joining that group. In this particular camp, Carlos Bocanegra got the nod. Carlos is a player who, for sure, has earned the respect of all his teammates with his commitment to the game. He plays hard. He talks. He organizes. Going forward, he is a key guy in what we are doing. At the same time, it could have been Tim Howard. It could have been Oguchi Onyewu. More and more, I am very pleased with the way DaMarcus has stepped-up. We will think about the part of who gets it permanently as we more forward. But for right now, it is very important just to see a group of guys feeling that this next cycle is in their hands."
Next up for the USA is their much-anticipated title defense at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which kicks off with a rematch against Guatemala on June 7 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The U.S. will then face Trinidad & Tobago on June 9 in the same venue, before concluding group play against El Salvador on June 12 in Foxborough, Mass. The 12-team Gold Cup tournament runs through June 24 where the final is slated for Soldier Field in Chicago.
Immediately following the Gold Cup, the USA will participate in the 2007 Copa America, the regional championship of South America. The 12-team tournament will run from June 26 to July 15 in nine cities across Venezuela. The U.S. will open Group C play against Argentina on June 28, before facing Paraguay on July 2 and Colombia on July 5.

Difference between revisions of "Springdale (Utah)"
Revision as of 11:52, 14 February 2007
Springdale is in the state of Utah, just outside of the south entrance to Zion National Park.
Get in
There is no public transportation into town, so driving is your only real option. The nearest major airport is in Las Vegas, 150 miles away.
Most people get here by taking Utah State Road 9 off I-15 north of Saint George, and following the road through the town of Hurricane. You can also get here by taking US Route 89 and turning west onto State Road 9, taking you through Zion on the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel and into Zion Canyon and Springdale.
Get around
By shuttle
As part of Zion National Park's free shuttle system, Springdale has a route running through the town April-October. Parking at the Visitor Center in Zion often fills up, so if you're spending the night in Springdale you would do good to leave the car at the hotel and take the shuttle into the park.
The route has 9 stops, with three of those available only on request (or when people are waiting): Majestic View, Silver Bear (request only), Driftwood, Bit & Spur / Zion Park Inn, Pizza & Noodle / Bumbleberry / Zions Bank, Canyon Ranch / Desert Pearl / Post Office (request only), Flanigans / Kimaries, Watchman Cafe / Cliffrose (request only), and the Zion Canyon Theater. The last stop is within easy walking distance of the Park Entrance and the Zion Visitor Center.
In spring and fall, the shuttle runs from 6:30 AM until 10:15 PM, with 10-15 minute frequency. In the summer (mid-May to early September), the shuttle runs from 5:30 AM until 11:15 PM, with 10-15 minute frequency, and 20 or 30 minute frequency in the very early morning and late evening.
Get out

The Alabama Bureau of Investigations (ABI) is looking into images that appeared on then-popular gay porn site Badpuppy.com in the '90s. Reportedly working on a few tips, the ABI is concerned that the full-frontal images feature federal circuit Judge Bill Pryor. If the ABI confirms that the images are in fact those of the conservative Bush-appointee, there is a chance Pryor could be indicted for falsifying his background during his Congressional confirmation hearings. According to LegalSchnauzer, Congress commonly asks federal judicial appointees about "potentially embarrassing or compromising information in their backgrounds." Sources indicate that Pryor was aware the pics were public on the gay site (which was dubbed the "Wal Mart of gay porn") in 1997, a few years ahead of his appointment.
Pryor reportedly posed for the shots while he was a student at Northeast Louisiana University from 1980 - 1984, and sources indicate that the porn appeared in print during that time before finding new life on the Internet in the '90s.
But that's not the juicy part.
Judge Pryor is a notoriously staunch right wing conservative. Though he was cool with gay guys ogling his fully erect, full frontal naked self, he's not cool with gays and lesbians walking the streets as free people. According to People for the American Way, Judge Pryor "would deny gay men and lesbians the equal protection of the laws. He believes that it is constitutional to imprison gay men and lesbians for expressing their sexuality in the privacy of their own homes and has voluntarily filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court urging the Court to uphold a Texas law that criminalizes such private consensual activity."
Of course, Pryor insists the pictures are not him, though apparently, a republican colleague in Alabama was quick to confirm that they are. "Holy cow, that's Bill Pryor!" he said.
Nobody should be fired for moonlighting in mainstream porn. But when you're a jurist who swings the gavel with a righteous ultra-conservative "traditional" values bent and seek to oppress a sexual minority, your past in porn should definitely be exposed. Justice, is the right word, yes?
Pryor denies he did porn in college and the investigation is ongoing, so take it all with a grain of salt. But do you think these pics are of Judge Pryor?
(Via Above The Law)
Bonjour à tous les hommes entre 25 et 50 ans qui s'intéresse de près ou de loin à une garce gâtée pourrie, je l'avoue. Il paraît que je suis jolie mais pas fréquentable, du moins c'est ce que disent mes copines, alors nous pouvons toujours nous faire une séance de webcam et peut-être que vous aurez ensuite envie pour m'inviter au restaurant. Étant étudiante, j'ai un planning assez souple, la seule chose que je ne veux pas rater, ce sont mes entraînements de handball deux fois par semaine, j'aime ce sport et l'entraîneur est mignon – lol – je vous attends avec impatience.
Were this person a democrat and not a judge, I wonder just how many of you bleeding heart conservative seekers of justice, would be putting such effort in making excuses for his actions, so earnestly looking for ways to discredit the photos and blaming the entire situation on someone else. This is the type of justice we can expect or see coming from the right. Give us strength and open the eyes of those who go through life with their eyes shut and even more remove those who cannot be truly fair and just.
In looking closely at the nose and eyes of the guy in the lower-most picture, there are structural differences that really point to it not being the same person -- in particular, the picture of the judge at the top of the article has a mouth that is clearly significantly longer than the mouth of the guy in the photo. Additionally, the younger man's nose is not as broad, and check out the way the judge's outer eyebrows trace into a downward arc around his eyes; the younger man's outer eyebrows are so significantly higher that it's tough for me to imagine that even 20 years of aging could account for that dramatic of a structural difference. I kind of think it's sucky to be hypothesizing about any citizen's potential guilt before due process has played out, but we Americans sure seem to love to do that.
Decent story: only lacked a couple of things that really SHOULD have been there, since the ABI has not yet charged him.
First thing was something that was hinted at, but then ignored, which would have moved the story up to great reporting. In the first paragraph, "there is a chance Pryor could be indicted for falsifying his background during his confirmation hearings." It would have firmed up the story a lot if the author had stated exactly what would be considered falsifying his background. Was he asked if he posed nude for gay porn while still a college student? Until it comes down officially that the pics are his, right now it's purely speculation that needs to be proven.
Additional information that would have been important would be if he's been harder (no pun intended) on members of the LGBT community. Putting his rulings from the bench in contrast to this charge would have been perfect.
As now, it reads like a Hollywood gossip column of the 1940's. More innuendo than actual article.
I think it's going to come out that he was too young to be in those photos and in that case, he deserves his privacy... No matter how awful of a person he has become since then. Even someone who is 18, in my opinion, is a little too young and impressionable to decide whether or not they want their wanger all over the place.
Of course they are---having been raised in rural small town Alabama, I can attest to the severity of homophobia which is still troublesome today. Sadly, Pryor is but one of many who find their way into the legal system with a shady past; however, Bill Pryor is one of the most horrid homophobic assholes in the federal court system. Remove him, permanently!
Let us assume, that it is..some place some where people still have this old porn laying around or someone might have had, a " meeting" with Pryor..as in most cases, this ultra right wing wack job is clearly not meant to be on the bench and not because of Porn shots. His beliefs that Gay folks or anyone else for that matter should be locked up just because he dose not like them or for any reason provided that they have not broken any laws, tells me he is UNSUITED for the bench. Period. What if he said, he called Jews names? Or made racist comments, or perhaps demonized Catholics ..would we even be having this discussion? I vote to kick his ass off the bench.
Actually, there may be an easier way than the FBI or software. If things were then the way they are now, somewhere out there is a model release with names and maybe even a SS#. If Badpuppy still has its records from back then, it should be fairly easy to find out if that is Pryor. It would just be a matter of going through the hard files.
I get the outrage at his hypocrisy. People like him are an absolute terror to the gay community. Self-hating bigots, need to be outed.
On the other hand, I do not get why posing nude is a problem for serving as a judge? People are such prudes in this country. So what? He posed nude. That does not effect his ability to do his job. Yes, out him as a hypocrite. But, leave naked people alone :D
whether we think it is him or not this is something that the FBI or even the CIA can help with. They have face recognition software that they can run to confirm or deny that it is him. No matter what your age there are some facial characteristics that do not change with age. If in fact it is proven to be him, then he should either be given the option to resign or be forcebly removed from his position.

At the same time, the university encourages the continual growth of our faculty and staff through research, coursework, professional development and service opportunities.
As a Jesuit university, Marquette offers a high standard of academic excellence. A Marquette education aims not only for the mind, but also the heart and soul.

Everyone who is part of Marquette is invited to this challenge.
As a community of dialogue and learning, every faculty member and university staff member is a part of and contributes to campus life and our mission of providing a transformational educational experience for our students. It is not solely how much more our graduates can be, however, but how much more the world can be through our graduates.
It's a future that will take us on a trajectory of excellence that our recently-completed Magis Campaign has launched. More than 57,000 donors around the world contributed $357 million to help us build three world-class facilities, significantly increase scholarship resources, develop new academic and faith-based programs and create a safer, more inviting campus.
Quite honestly, Marquette has never been stronger in our ability to promote excellence, faith, leadership and service. Our generous alumni and friends share not only great pride in the Marquette legacy but also a bold vision for our future.

Trish Stratus made an appearance at the Chapters-Indigo store in downtown Toronto this past Tuesday, signing copies of Inside Fitness magazine and memorabilia for wrestling fans. The seven-time WWE women's champion chopped it up with SLAM! Wrestling before the event, getting down to business on a number of topics, including a confident prediction of the UFC 94 main event of St. Pierre-Penn.
Her Stratusphereyoga studio still keeps her busy, but for the time being at least, Stratus has come full circle to her fitness model roots. She is the first wrestling personality to appear on Inside Fitness and the magazine's president and publisher Terry Frendo -- whose business relationship and friendship with Stratus goes back at least ten years -- explained some of the science behind choosing the picture that made the cut.
"The cover you see was a fun shot that really kind of caught people's attention and for us it was a no brainer to use it," Frendo said. "When we looked through the photos, it was a real winner because it had something that was appealing to everyone. Trish is definitely known for her good looks and we didn't want to alienate males or females or anyone like that. We wanted to have a nice photo that was attractive to everyone."
When told there are several Facebook accounts impersonating her image, Trish confirmed that while she does use MySpace, she does not have a Facebook account. "It would be great to clear up that I can be found on MySpace only. I am not on Facebook. That way no one is duped into thinking they are communicating with me when they are not," she said to make things clear for all.
Her recent tag match on RAW at Toronto's Air Canada Centre -- teaming with John Cena against Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella -- is still generating positive chatter from the fans and Trish looked back fondly. "It was awesome to go back, especially with those two things in place. I never had the chance to face Beth and I felt -- along with from what I've read from the fans -- that would be an intriguing match up," she said contently. "Fans got a chance to see us on-screen together once before -- but she was on my side then -- so now to face off with the buzz of the Internet, and some smack talk from both of us was a sweet moment!
"Also, teaming with the current champ John Cena is always a good crowd pleaser -- actually we have a pretty good track record as a team. I also have become a huge Santino fan. I think he adds so much to any segment he is in, so it was great to have him and add that 'Je ne sais quoi' to our segment.
"I made sure to practice the matrix move I did on Santino at least 40 times to make sure I could still do it," she laughed.
Stratus has been on record against returning full-time to the former federation, save for one-time special events, but it's hard to imagine the 25th anniversary of wrestling's biggest stage passing her by. Asked about a possible appearance in Houston at Wrestlemania, she mentioned that she had not been contacted about appearing, but left the impression that something could come together down the line.
Perhaps a matchup with Phoenix or Natalya maybe? She acknowledged the possibilities and in a hint of things to come perhaps, laid down the gauntlet to both.
I would definitely like the chance to finish off what I started with Beth in a one-on-one scenario," said Stratus. "No tagging out, no Santino shenanigans, just one dominant female against the other. And Nattie I think is going to be a major player soon, given the right chance to do what she does best. Everyone knows how much I respect the Hart lineage, using Bret's sharpshooter in my retirement match, wearing the pink and black boots in Toronto -- which I think Nattie had a problem with -- it's not a coincidence.
"So I would be honoured to face someone who is a part of that legacy and I have no doubt in my mind that we could blow away an audience. Do I want to make her tap? Damn straight I do!"
"Because he rocks," she said simply.

Prosocyal necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 8 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
We deliver a social media case management system, delivered as a service. Our target market is mostly Swedish, but we will go international in less than one year. We mainly target B2C companies grossing over €5 000 000, and our main buyers are CEOs or marketing directors.
facebook.com - clean, crisp, lot's of whitespace, blue
slidedeck.com - rather clean and simple, yet looks good.
Very important note! We need the design fast, so as soon as we find a good design, we will end the design early. It will probably end on Thursday, so get your designs in quick!
The page is the view inside the product itself, not publically accessible. This is the view of the sorting list of our product. I enclose a PNG of the mockup we have made as well as one of the HTML that we have . I also enclose a wordfile with more information about the design. This document describes the most important concepts about the project.
The basic flow of the application is approved by our first customers, so it shouldn't change too much.
Our main customers are as I wrote earlier, CEOs and marketing directors on B2C companies, medium sized. The design should refect this. It should also reflect that we deal in social media. These two elements should come together in a easy to use design.

There is a petition in the WhiteHouse webpage: Replace the words "In God We Trust" on US money with "E pluribus unum." 40% of US don't believe in the Christian God.

I signed - thanks for the link!

Happily, I'm able to contribute $$$ to organizations that work against theocrats' attempts to impose their delusions on the rest of us (ACLU, AU, FFRF, etc) and I do so.
I'm more active in opposing the bribery and extortion that's known as campaign financing.
I dream of an America that has a national initiative and referendum, and whose Supreme Court accepts that the Constitution's Ninth Amendment has meaning.
any worries that this could be used to track secular Americans?
figure by now it'd be 'in democracy we trust'? or 'for the people by the people?' as opposed to sheeple?
oooh, nice freakin penny!
I started a coin collection about a week ago. I know, kinda late (I'm 34), but, well, I have 3 boys (and it looks like more on the way) and I already have a collection of silver coins and some foreign coins. So anyway, long story short, I found a penny yesterday that was way older than any of the other coins I have, dated 1940. Brought a smile to my face. Just sayin!
2952. Seems to be some pretty slow going. Doesn't look like we're going to hit our target... :-(

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for March to Investigator Jason Adams of the Lincoln Police Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Adams has been a Police Officer since 1997. Sergeant Sandra Myers nominated him in the category of productivity for his investigations into financial thefts, scams and cases of embezzlement and counterfeiting. In 2010, Adams investigated scams with losses of more than $136,000. His work also resulted in embezzlement arrests with losses totaling more than $263,000; forgery arrests with losses totaling more than $62,000; and the clearing of identity theft cases with losses totaling more than $67,000. As the head of all counterfeit money investigations, Adams has developed good contacts with the Secret Service. Last year, he worked on 81 counterfeit cases reported to LPD and helped clear several of them.
While investigating the unauthorized use of credit and debit cards, Adams noticed that Lincolnites cards were being used outside of Nebraska while they still had possession of them. Working with local financial institutions, Jason found the common denominator was a local golf course. With the help of LPD's Electronic Evidence Recovery officer, an image of the compromised computer was sent to the Federal Cyber Crimes Task Force who is now working on the case. The loss to citizens and financial institutions is more than $750,000.
Jason works with larger police departments nationwide to investigate re-shipping and financial scams. He educates victims and the general public on avoiding scams and identity theft. Adams also is involved with LPD's Field Force team and the Lincoln Metro Clandestine Lab Team.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, loss prevention, safety and valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Weekend Kneeler Jeopardy
Happy Feast Day of St. Monica!
Here's a question in four parts. I think Chris and AA could get several, but can they get all of them?
Category: In the cards
Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Who do the spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds represent.
St. Alex says, please place your answer in the form of a question in the combox, and say a few Hail Marys while you wait for the answer to be revealed.
Demerits for using Google and other sneaky searches. Educated guesses are welcome and encouraged. Good luck!!

Guest post by Sha Sa, Developer Relations Marketing, China – Ed
"Port-A-Thon" is now a popular term among Asia Pacific developers. Developers have heard good stuff about BlackBerry GotGame virtual Port-a-thon in November, participated in the All-Aboard Port-a-thon on December, and then went nuts about the BlackBerry Got Game Port-A-Thon LIVE series that was held in eight cities in Asia Pacific.

They want to make sure quality apps will be ported, and a lot of them volunteered to host offline events across Asia to support developers to successfully port their apps.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a meme. To me, a meme was bigger than being president of the United States. It meant you stood for something.
So a couple of days ago, I come back into work after getting a coffee. Deadspin proceeds to kick that "blogs can't do quality journalism" BS in the teeth by exposing that Notre Dame linebacker and Heisman finalist Manti Te'o made up having a girlfriend that was dying of cancer. The story was beyond fascinating. I mean, it was like something out of a Season 5-era episode of "Law & Order: SVU."
You saw the hype surrounding Alabama QB AJ Mccarron's girlfriend and how everyone spent the next three days talking about how hot she was and how weird it was talking about how hot someone's girlfriend was. Now a player more popular than him was facing a weird situation like this? First off, how do you have an invisible girlfriend? Didn't they have any pictures together? Is this one of those weird "two sets of footprints in the sand" parable things come to life? As with most things on the internet these days, people immediately started cracking jokes. I was one of them. I had my co-worker Mick take a picture of me doing what I dubbed"Te'o-ing."
I can't say that I was the first person to think of doing it. That would be naive, right? The internet is so damn big and human behavior is so predictable. Walking over to my co-worker's cube, it occured to me that this would be a little chuckle I could spread via social media and that would be it. After Mick took the picture, I posted it on Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr and got back to work. Before I left, I saw I was getting a couple of "likes." Mission accomplished, right?
Little did I know.
The first text came at dinner. A friend from college I haven't spoken to in a while sent me a screencap. Her fiancee (who has never met me) was texted a picture.
I freaked out. Where the hell did this guy I had never met get my pic? Then the second text came. And the third. And the fourth. At one point I went on Instagram and searched the term "Teoing." Of the 20+ pictures that came up at the time, my face was 10 of them.
I had become a meme.
More of my friends started to see the picture pop up and quickly visited my Facebook to let me know. I got texts from people I haven't spoken to since high school. Laughing, I went to bed.
(Can I take a minute and pause to say that this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous, right? OK. Moving on.)
Thursday morning wasn't too exciting. That is, until I got a call. Someone called from NBC Chicago to interview me about the "phenomenon." I was confused, until I started looking around. I was on a lot of websites. We're not talking college football fan forums, we're talking ABC News, the Huffington Post and the Dallas Morning News. That hallowed hall of busty college sophomores COED Magazine made me the featured image they ran about Teoing on the front of the site.
It kept coming. So many texts, tweets, e-mails.
After some rudimentary math, we found out my picture has been liked over 800 times by people that aren't me or people who follow me on Instagram. A lady living in Hawaii threatened to kick my ass. At one point if you searched "teo" on Google, the absolute FIRST thing you saw was my face.
I couldn't stop laughing. This is insanity! My friends and co-workers laughed and then stopped pretending I was special. They are good friends and co-workers. It escalated to the point that my mom and like four more people texted me to tell me I was on the TMZ TV show ... kinda.
Mind. Blown.
Now that the story is dying down, I'm not the hot shot I used to be. A meme is only as good as the interest in the story behind it. People are starting to get Te'o-ed out and so that means my reign as meme supreme (I rolled my eyes too, don't worry) comes to an end. Look, if I can impart any advice to any of you social media types out there from what I've learned in the last 48 hours of being a viral thing on the internet, it's this:
The only reason this thing took off was because I immediately got up, had Mick shoot that photo and posted it immediately. That's the difference between the people who put out viral content regularly and the people who make the 39th "BLEEP _______ SAY" video that no one cares about. Just put it out.
Now? I got nothing. Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free pens. Free beers. We go into the arcade bar? I got tokens like it was frigging Vegas or something bought by some guy trying to impress his girlfriend. I still didn't get laid, but didn't matter. It didn't mean anything.
When I was a meme, we'd go into the hottest club in the city, walk in, put our feet up and no one would say a thing. It was like Mardi Gras combined with the sexiest comic book convention you ever did see. Everybody had their screencaps. Everything was on my Facebook timeline.
And now it's all over. And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action online ... have to wait around and look at Grantland like everyone else. Can't even get decent content--earlier today, I'm looking for a funny GIF, and I get that Mobile, Ala., leprechaun video. I'm an average nobody now ... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

Adonis Cocktail
1 Dash Orange Bitters (Regan's Orange Bitters)
1/3 Italian Vermouth (1 oz Cinzano Rosso Vermouth)
2/3 Dry Sherry (2 oz Domecq La Ina Fino Sherry)
Stir well and strain into cocktail glass.
Uh, oops, I did obviously shake this cocktail, instead of stirring it, thus the foam.
These sorts of "light" cocktails are quite popular these days, especially of necessity in restaurants without liquor licenses, like The Little Owl in New York City.
Dry Sherry is one of those things that I am only now starting to appreciate as a cocktail ingredient or on its own. I guess I always have the expectation that it should be sweet.
It is, however, really great with cheese, especially pungent blue cheeses, which don't go very well with many wines.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
