He used the N-word and told racist jokes. He once said African-Americans were inferior to whites. He proposed ending slavery by shipping willing slaves back to Africa.
Meet Abraham Lincoln, "The Great Emancipator" who "freed" the slaves.
That's not the version of Lincoln we get from Steven Spielberg's movie "Lincoln." But there's another film that fills in the historical gaps left by Spielberg and challenges conventional wisdom about Lincoln and the Civil War.
"The Abolitionists" is a PBS American Experience film premièring Tuesday that focuses on the intertwined lives of five abolitionist leaders. These men and women arguably did as much -- maybe even more -- than Lincoln to end slavery, yet few contemporary Americans recognize their names.
The three-part documentary's airing comes as the nation commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 1863 decree signed by Lincoln that set in motion the freeing of slaves. Lincoln is a Mount Rushmore figure today, but the abolitionists also did something remarkable. They took on the colossal wealth and political power of the slave trade, and won. (Imagine activists today persuading the country to shut down Apple and Google because they deem their business practices immoral.)
The abolitionists "forced the issue of slavery on to the national agenda," says Sharon Grimberg, executive producer for the PBS documentary. "They made it unavoidable."
"The Abolitionists" offers four surprising revelations about how the abolitionists triumphed, and how they pioneered many of the same tactics protest movements use today.
No. 1: The Great Persuader was not Lincoln
Near the end of "Lincoln," Spielberg shows the president delivering his second inaugural address, a majestic speech marked by harsh biblical language. Lincoln is often considered to be the nation's greatest president in part because of such speeches. He was an extraordinary writer.
But the most well-known condemnation of slavery during that era didn't come from the pen of Lincoln. It came from the pen of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister who joined the abolitionist movement, the PBS film says.

Virgin Care UK Virgin Care provide NHS services nationwide with a focus on community and primary healthcare. We do this by working in partnership with a range of organisations and investing time and money to develop high quality NHS services which provide care good enough for our own families. Virgin Care services are funded by the NHS and are free to anyone who needs them, but we take a fresh approach to improving service delivery. Just because NHS services are universally available doesn't mean that people shouldn't receive an outstanding service. Virgin Care services: • Walk-in and urgent care centres for when you need to see a doctor or nurse now, but do not need emergency care in A&E • Community-based services, such as sexual health services • Community diagnostics, such as ultrasound services, which are quick and easy to access through your GP and are based in a location close to where you live or work • GP practices where the appointment times are designed around real people's lives and needs Specialist services, such as GP services for asylum seekers and homeless people, so that people who need it most get a coordinated approach to their care. To learn a bit more about them please visit: www.virgincare.co.uk A unique approach Virgin Care believes that by championing the communities they serve and by listening and responding to patients they can provide fantastic health services – good enough for their own families. Virgin Care's current focus in partnership with Virgin Unite is to support and raise the profile of carers. A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help due to illness, disability, mental ill-health or a substance misuse problem (Carers UK). They want this issue to be embedded into the DNA of their business and their brand. Virgin Care is putting care at the heart of the community to create a social and business impact; just because it's good for society doesn't mean that it shouldn't be good for business too. What do they support? • Carers "Time to care" is Virgin Care's social and community initiative. Even though three in five people in the UK will become a carer at some point in their life, carers get a raw deal from the NHS. It needn't be like this. Carers save the NHS around £113 billion every year and Virgin Care believes carers are the unsung heroes of the NHS. GPs area key ongoing touch point for carers and Virgin Care's staff are dedicated to improving the quality of life of carers, and those that they care for, as part of their commitment to sustainable communities. To do this, Virgin Care is partnering with local organisations and social care to champion the cause of carers. • Working with young people Virgin Care wants to learn more about what communities need and how they want their services delivered. In particular they believe the health sector is behind other industries in connecting with young people and are working with young people to find out how they access GP practices in order to improve this. Young people are both patients and also carers, and by working in partnership with young people Virgin Care believes it can better design their services to meet their specific needs. In this way they can begin to have a conversation with people who really need to access care and who currently aren't. Impact? • Carers "Time to care" is a new initiative at Virgin Care, and their goals are to: • Raise awareness and profile of the carer agenda • Support and listen to carers • Help give carers a voice • Create a community and network for carers The initiative begins inside Virgin Care with carer awareness training and development over and above what they would usually get in the NHS. It's about making staff proud to work for Virgin Care and they are encouraging all of their staff to take two days to 'Give time to care'. Staff can use this time in a flexible way to develop services and drive innovation, differentiation and excellence in a way that is responsive to the needs of carers. • Working with young people The workshops with young people are also a new initiative at Virgin Care. Virgin Care will use insights gathered at the workshops to design youth-friendly initiatives ranging from promotion of services and the physical layout of their GP practices to staff training to help them effectively interact with young people. As a result, Virgin Care hopes that young people will receive a more appropriate experience that ultimately leads to better health and wellbeing for young people. Here's what they are saying: Jess Eagar, Brand Manager, Virgin Care, said: "The Business Action team is totally amazing. Together we've designed a business focussed initiative to champion and give back to both our people and our communities. It's core to our brand (it was highlighted in our most recent bid as being one of the key strengths and differentiators of our submission). It will really impact on how we deliver services." Doris Amankwaah, Kids Company, said: "You were all great at making the young people feel like you were listening to them and that their insight was valuable to your organisation, which really did empower them."

Choctaws Blow Past McMurry
By: Kyle Robarts/McMurry Sports Information
Updated: September 19, 2009
The Choctaws' Adam Shaffer tossed four touchdowns and threw for 311 yards on 19 of 29 passing while backup Tommy Reyer completed 4 of 5 passes for 52 yards, a touchdown, and he rushed for another to lead MC's offensive explosion.
Renard Ellis and Brian Richardson also went over 100 yards receiving for the Choctaws with 132 and 104 yards respectively, and each player had a touchdown reception. MC ran 74 plays totaling 471 yards on the night.
As big a story as the Choctaw offense was, McMurry's own high-powered offense was held mostly in check. Sophomore quarterback Jake Mullin threw for 173 yards on 23 of 40 passing. Mullin did not throw and interception, but also was unable to find the end zone through the air for the first time this season.
The longest pass play of the night was a reception from McMurry's Antwaun Harris that went for 24 yards in the first quarter. McMurry got on the board in the second quarter when Mullin ran in his first touchdown of the season on a 1-yard draw up the middle with 4:59 left in the first half to make the score 21-7.
McMurry's rushing game improved from the first two weeks thanks to the return of Keenan Alford. Alford, actually played sparingly in week two against Austin College. However, Saturday night the sophomore saw his first significant playing time of the season and responded with 133 yards on 13 carries for McMurry.
Alford's night was highlighted in the first quarter on McMurry's first play of its third drive of the game. Alford took the first down and 10 carry 54 yards to the Choctaw five-yard line setting up a first-and-goal opportunity. However, the drive ended when Jesse Garcia's 23-yard field goal attempt went wide right that could have made the score 7-3 early in favor of MC.
After Mullin's touchdown run, the Choctaws responded on the first play after the kickoff with a 68-yard touchdown pass from Shaffer to Richardson on a screen play where Richardson broke loose and made the score 28-7 with 4:40 left in the second quarter.
McMurry went three-and-out on the next drive and MC got the ball back after a John Kowalski punt with 4:01 to go in the half. The Choctaws drove to the McMurry 5-yard line and settled for a field goal from Brandon Walls from 22 yards out to make the score 31-7 for which it stayed heading into intermission.
The Choctaws continued rolling on the momentum with the first drive of the second half and took four plays after McMurry's on-side kick attempt to score its fifth touchdown of the contest when Shaffer found Brent Thompson in the end zone from 11 yards and extended its lead to 38-7.
McMurry scored on a five-play 68-yard drive following Thompson's touchdown catch. Mullin was looking to pass on a first-and-goal from the MC six-yard line, however, with all receivers covered, Mullin made a charge for his second rushing touchdown, but the Choctaws' Jeremy Bertrand knocked the ball out of Mullin's hands. Luckily for McMurry, Harris picked up the ball in the end zone for McMurry for the team's second touchdown.
From there, it was all Choctaws. MC scored three more touchdowns and Walls added a 32-yard field goal.
Defensively the Choctaws' blitzing scheme gave Mullin fits. MC was credited with 13 quarterback hurries led by Nolan Willisson who had four. Mullin was also sacked a season-high five times with Brad Holt recording two for MC.
Jimmy Sampson and Luke Petitto each had 11 tackles for the Choctaws. The MC defense forced two fumbles, which were both recovered for the visitors and Tramichael Dale returned McMurry backup quarterback Landry Gunter's pass for 36 yards and a touchdown for the Choctaws' final score in the fourth quarter.
For McMurry, sophomore safety Will Morris led with 14 tackles and three tackles for a loss; Morris also sacked Shaffer for a loss of nine yards. Andrew Wallace added 10 giving the senior 225 career tackles in his fourth season.
McMurry's losing streak is now at 16 games and will take its 0-3 overall record to Belton Saturday to face No. 3-ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor who has a 2-0 record after defeating Texas Lutheran 59-7 Saturday. Kickoff in Belton is at 1 p.m.

Ideally, your employer will offer a plan that provides you with a way to support yourself when you retire. Retirement plans generally come in two types: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.
Pension plans The term "pension plan" sometimes may be used to refer to retirement plans in general. Often, however, the term "pension" refers specifically to a defined benefit plan. Defined benefit pensions pay you a specific amount when you retire from work. This amount is guaranteed to you for the rest of your life. Employees of private business are not usually required to contribute to defined benefit pensions. Government employees, however, normally are required to contribute.
Pension eligibility To receive a pension, you must work for your employer for a certain number of years. The amount you receive is determined by your working salary, your age, and your years of service. If you're employed in private industry, defined benefit pensions don't rely on your ability to save money. But they also don't allow you to participate in managing your investments. Instead, these types of plans are managed by your employer. Also, if you leave before retirement, you may become ineligible for the plan, or your retirement benefit may be reduced.
401(k) plans A 401(k) plan is a defined contribution retirement plan. Your employer allows you to choose a set amount and make an automatic contribution each month. Usually, you tell your company how much to take out of your paycheck to put into your plan. The money that goes into your plan is invested in stocks and bonds. The maximum amount that can be invested in a 401(k) plan is set by the federal government. In 2009, the contribution limit is $16,500 per year. Your employer can set a limit lower than this maximum amount, so check with your employer regarding your company's plan limit. You do not pay taxes on the money you put into your 401(k). The taxes are paid only after you withdraw the money. You can judge 401(k) plans by two main features:
403(b) plans The 403(b) plan is a defined contribution plan provided by nonprofit organizations. These plans are very much like the 401(k) plans offered by businesses. Nonprofit 403(b) plans also are known as "tax-sheltered annuities." As with a 401(k), you do not pay taxes on the amount you put into your 403(b). Taxes are paid only when you withdraw the money. You choose how the money is invested. There are limits on how much you can invest each year. In 2009, the federal limit is $16,500 per year.
Employer matches Many employers match part of the amount that you invest in your 401(k) or 403(b). For example, your employer might put 25 cents into your account for each dollar you put in, up to a certain percent of your pay. An employer match is like getting a bonus. It pays to put in enough to get the maximum match.

Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that affects polio survivors. About 20% to 40% of people who recover from polio will later develop PPS. The onset may occur 10 to 40 years after the initial polio attack.
The exact cause is unknown. It is not due to the original polio virus. However, the virus can cause damage to nerve and muscle cells that may lead to the development of PPS.
Factors that may increase your chance of developing PPS include:
Symptoms may include:
If the symptoms during the first attack of polio were severe, the symptoms of PPS may also be severe.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A neuromuscular exam may also be done. PPS may be hard to diagnose because symptoms come and go. The symptoms may also overlap with other diseases.
Testing often involves electromyography. This measures how well your nerves and muscles are communicating. Other, less common tests may include:
Treatment focuses on managing symptoms. The goals are to:
Treatment may include:
There are no guidelines for preventing PPS. But, polio survivors who keep physically fit may have a reduced risk of PPS.

The money will be used to support Dalton State's new intercollegiate athletics department and academic building.
Mashburn lived a quiet life with wife Catherine as a Dalton entrepreneur and philanthropist. He died in January 2009. The tenth of 12 children, he came of age during the Great Depression and always valued hard work and frugal living, according to a trustee of the foundation, adding that his charitable trust was formed to advance the endeavors he believed would develop and enhance the community in which he lived.
"We are tremendously gratified by this most generous gift," said Dalton State president Dr. John Schwenn. "We are proud to partner with the Mashburn family as we work to advance both the academic and athletic programming of Dalton State."
A portion of the Mashburn gift, which will be paid out over a period of five years, will be used to complete Dalton State's new science building, groundbreaking for which is scheduled this fall. The remainder of the gift will be used to enhance athletic facilities and endeavors on Dalton State's campus.
"The Mashburn Foundation is anxious to shine a light on Dalton State," said a Mashburn Foundation trustee. "We believe supporting the development of intercollegiate athletics at this time will create interest in Dalton State throughout the campus, the community and the region and ultimately help the college develop into the thriving university we all want it to become."
According to Derek Waugh, Dalton State athletic director, "The Athletic Department's vision is to take full advantage of all that this institution can become for its student body, its alumni and fans, and the entire community of Dalton and Northwest Georgia.
"We will create campus vibrancy, an extremely dramatic increase in residential enrollment and championship-caliber teams made up of tomorrow's leaders that will flock to Dalton State and hopefully, eventually, call Dalton their home," Waugh said. "However, a vision is just that until someone gets behind it, and that is what the Mashburn Foundation has done. We could not be more grateful or humbled by this generous gift, and we hope it will inspire others to escalate this institution and community using intercollegiate athletics as a conduit."

Beijing Plus Five: Sexual and Reproductive Rights are Here to Stay |
Summary: An overview of gains made and challenges faced in advancing sexual and reproductive rights during the Beijing Plus Five progress review. In the 1990s, sexual and reproductive rights were the subject of vigorous debates at the UN's world conferences, such as the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, and the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women (FWCW) in Beijing. It is therefore not surprising that, five years after the FWCW, sexual and reproductive rights were once again at the center of the UN's "Beijing Plus Five" progress review, held in New York between March and June 2000. Beijing Plus Five gathered 180 government delegations and over 2,000 women's groups to discuss progress and obstacles in the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action, and to decide on concrete steps to accelerate implementation. While the Beijing Plus Five review showcased some of the actions taken since 1995 to guarantee women their human rights—including sexual and reproductive rights - it also made clear that much remains to be done to translate words into action. Poverty and illiteracy continue to affect women disproportionately. Globally, 600,000 women still die every year, and some 18 million are left disabled or chronically ill, due to preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth. WHO estimates that 330 million new sexually transmitted infections occur annually, at least half of these among young people. HIV/AIDS alone accounts for 6 million new infections every year, with young girls and women at greatest risk in many parts of the world. Sexual violence is widespread and lethal, both within and outside marriage.
Negotiating health, motherhood and the family Many government delegations, as well as women's groups, fought hard against these positions. They argued that the nuclear family is not the norm in many parts of the world, and that many families are neither safe, particularly for young girls, nor models of gender equality. They also pointed out that, without full control of their sexuality and reproductive life, women cannot realize the full range of their human rights.
Women's groups take charge Finally, Latin American governments (except Nicaragua, Honduras and Argentina), joined by most countries of the Caribbean, formed a negotiating bloc known as SLACC ("Some Latin American Countries and the Caribbean"), which articulated positions supportive of gender equality as well as economic justice. SLACC worked closely with South Africa, the bloc of Southern African countries known as SADC, certain other African countries such as Cameroun, Ghana and Kenya, as well as India—highlighting the extent to which progressive positions on women's rights have gained ground at the national government level since 1995. This development stood in sharp contrast to Beijing, where a number of Latin American delegations had put forward conservative views, particularly on sexual and reproductive rights. Debates on a set of new agreements to redress these persistent inequalities were, to say the least, arduous and chaotic. But women emerged from the UN's smoky basement victorious once again. The final agreements reached by governments are quite positive, and reflect many of the concerns that women's groups from all over the world had put forward at the beginning of the review—particularly on health and violence against women. In fact, a substantial number of the concepts contained in the NGO suggested amendments made it into the final Document, often almost word-for-word—a significant testimony to the large number of NGO representatives on government delegations, tireless work by progressive delegates, and constant support to government delegates by NGOs throughout the negotiations.
Advances for women Regarding health, the most important result was governments' re-affirmation of the forward-looking agreements reached at the 1999 ICPD Plus Five review, which included indicators and time-bound targets on sexual and reproductive health. In this respect, health was one of the very few topics where concrete, measurable targets were adopted or re-affirmed at Beijing Plus Five. In addition, governments withstood right-wing attacks and re-affirmed that adolescents, particularly girls, should have access to sexual and reproductive health services, as well as sexuality and lifeskills education. They once again agreed that these services and programs must be designed and run with the full involvement of adolescents, respecting their human rights and maintaining confidentiality. After much heated debate in small negotiating rooms, conservative states also grudgingly agreed that education programs should be provided to enable men to practice safer sex. They decided that priority should be given to the development of microbicides and HIV vaccines, and to providing female condoms. Finally, they acknowledged that reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity must be made a health sector priority at the national level. On the ideologically charged subject of abortion, governments could only agree to reiterate their Beijing agreement to "consider reviewing laws containing punitive measures against women who have undergone illegal abortions" They also re-affirmed the ICPD Plus Five agreements to "train and equip health providers to ensure that [legal] abortion is safe and accessible." Conservatives mounted a concerted and effective effort to keep the phrases "sexual rights" and "sexual orientation" out of the Document. But the content of these concepts is included, as a result of strong pressure from the EU, Turkey, South Africa, the negotiating bloc known as JUSCANZ (Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), and Cuba. As in Beijing, the agreements on non-discrimination include terminology, such as "and other status" and "full diversity of women's conditions and situations," to cover sexual orientation. Support by the EU, SLACC, JUSCANZ, Turkey and Southern African countries ensured that the Beijing agreement on the human rights of women "to have control over and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality, free of coercion, discrimination and violence" was repeated verbatim. Canada registered a strong statement at the end of the negotiation regarding their interpretation of "and other status" as inclusive of sexual orientation, noting that the Human Rights Committee of the UN had reached the same interpretation. The European Union, joined by Romania, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Lithuania, made an equally strong statement condemning all forms of discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In the last week of the negotiation, Nicaragua, supported by the Holy See, sought to introduce a "conscience clause" in the abortion paragraph. The proposed amendment would have allowed physicians to refuse to perform abortions, refuse training to perform them, or deny women information about abortion. It did not include any provision for mandatory referrals to other physicians, or regarding the obligation to perform services in cases where the woman's life is in danger and no other health provider is available. The health and rights NGOs mobilized to oppose the amendment. As a result, there is no such conscience clause in the Document. Attempts to insert a paragraph of this kind had also been defeated in Cairo, Beijing, and at ICPD Plus Five. As in every negotiation, there were of course disappointments. To ensure government accountability, NGOs had worked for a document focusing on concrete benchmarks and time-bound targets—but very few new ones were agreed. A number of the final paragraphs are so general as to provide little additional guidance in accelerating implementation of the Beijing agreements. And the bigoted comments made by a few conservative government delegations and some right-wing NGOs during the negotiations on sexual orientation were a deeply disturbing reminder that intolerance still runs deep.
Women will not be turned back The challenges posed by implementation continue to loom large. In many cases, substantial resources will have to be allocated by governments and the international community to turn the Beijing Plus Five—and Beijing—agreements into reality. However, in other cases, such as repeal of discriminatory laws, much can be done without great expenditures. The Beijing Plus Five review made clear that feminist organizations from all over the world will continue to press governments and the UN for change, and for the resources to make change happen. As the final communiqué of the Coalition in Support of the Beijing Platform stated at the end of the review, "women will not be turned back." |

My name is Amanda and I'm 24. I joined this site a little while ago but I haven't been using it much, mostly because I don't really know how to--I'm not that familiar to all of the things that can be done on here. I feel like a loser because I have no zombie friends :( haha.SO feel free to friend me.
I am OBSESSED with zombies, I even consider getting a zombie tramp stamp (haha) but several people have talked me out of it. But I'll probably get one eventually. One of my goals is to write and publish a zombie novel and I've already written a good amount of my story. However, I'm suffering from a little bit of writer's block at the moment sooo that's not going anywhere right now.
I just started a horror blog, Mandy's Morgue of Horror, and it's literally my child! I'm super excited about it, especially since it's got me writing again, and it's also got me brainstorming about more zombie stories that I can write! I would really, really appreciate it if all of you--my fellow zombie enthusiasts--would check it out and tell me what you think! I've literally just started it so it's obviously not as pretty as it can and eventually will be, but I would love to get some thoughts and suggestions from the community that it's dedicated too. I'm sorry to babble and go on and on about myself but I'm really just trying to interact with some horror fans :)
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it. And if you have a blog that you'd like me to check out I would be happy to do so. I hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks again,
Amanda <3
Stay Alive

Key to encircling and containing China, US sets proxies in motion for color revolution in Malaysian streets.
May 15, 2013 (AltThaiNews) - US-funded opposition fronts have
vowed to overthrow the Malaysian government via disruptive and
potentially violent street protests in the wake of general elections
that saw their leader Anwar Ibrahim soundly defeated despite massive
support from Western media, NGOs, and direct government intervention.
Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported in their article, "'BN will be toppled this year'," that:
Image: US-proxy Anwar Ibrahim leads a Bersih rally in
Malaysia. While Bersih has attempted to claim it is "independent" and
simply pursusing "fair and clean elections," it is clearly a vehicle for
returning Anwar Ibrahim back into power. Additionally, Bersih shares
the same ties to the US State Department's National Endowment for
Democracy (NED) as its crypto-leader Anwar Ibrahim - representing a
dangerous and seditious conflict of interest.
Pro-Pakatan Rakyat groups have vowed to overthrow the Barisan Nasional government this year through a massive street rally.FMT also added that:
Speakers at a forum held yesterday unanimously agreed that waiting for five years until the next
general election was too long, and vowed to overthrow BN this year through "force".
Electoral watchdog group Bersih 2.0 steering committee member Hishamuddin Rais pointed out that it was useless to take their unhappiness to the courts as he claimed the justice system was being controlled by the government.Bersih, of course, is a US State Department-funded opposition front aimed to bolster US-proxy candidate Anwar Ibrahim, formerly of the IMF and World Bank, and a frequent visitor to the insidious National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in Washington D.C. It is in fact, NED that funds Bersih through its subsidiary, the National Democratic Institute (NDI).
"That is why we must take to the streets. We have to come out. What Najib likes is wrong, and what he doesn't like is what we have to do," he said.
"We will mobilise a big group and rally on the streets. This is not a threat, this is a promise," he stressed.

NEW HAVEN >> With stiff competition all around the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven, The Thomaston girls were able to score 22 points and pick up a third place finish at the Class S Championships.
In the 1600's, the Golden Bears' Sabrina Olson finished fourth with a time of 5:19.20.
Shepaug's Logan Ross surprised North Branford's Matt Edwards by finishing just ahead of him in the 600 (1:25.14) winning the event.
Edwards said Ross ran the better race.
"(Logan) just out kicked me (at the end)," Edwards said
For Old Saybrook's Cori Reid, it was not too long ago that she was dribbling a basketball for her Rams' basketball team.
A year later, the senior traded in her sneakers for spikes and gave indoor track a try. The switch has paid off for Reid and the Rams. Thursday night at the Class S Championships at the Floyd Little Athletic Center, Reid took first place in the 600 meters as Old Saybrook finished in third place with 42 points.
The Bloomfield girls and boys both took first place.
"I did outdoor (track), I just wanted to change it up and have fun my senior year," Reid said.
Reid is having quite the debut indoor season. After placing second in the Shoreline Conference meet last week in the 600, she ran a smart and strong race and broke the Rams school record with a blistering time of 1 minute, 40.57 seconds. Indoor head coach Pete Capezzone thinks she's just getting started. Continued...
"She's really just starting to get into shape I think," he said.
Reid's performances come from her natural speed and athleticism. She said she was a little nervous and ill-prepared coming into the meet because of lack of practice due to the blizzard.
"We've been off for six days, so for her to prepare like that was huge," Capezzone said.
Along with Reid, the girls' sprint medley relay team took first place with a time of 4:26.10. North Branford's Rachel Boyers captured first in the 55 meter hurdles (8.83) and teammate Emmy Dulak finished in second in the 600 (1:40.98). Old Saybrook's Katherine Beezer was second in the 55 hurdles (8.95).
"We were hoping for top four. Just looking back we did as well as could. The boys we came up a little short. All in all I'm very, very happy," Capezzone said of the team results.
Weston's Emily Savage was one of the meet's top performers, shattering the state girls' pole vault indoor and outdoor record, jumping 12 feet, 7 inches.
"It is a weight off my shoulders," Savage said. "Making 12-7 on the first attempt was an amazing feeling."
For North Branford's Matt Edwards, there were some concerns coming into the meet. He said he spent a few days on the treadmill and had limited practice time to prepare due to the snow storm. But Edwards managed to score second-place finishes in the 600 (1:25.25) and 300 (36.42), both personal bests for him.
"(The) 600 was the best race I've ever run," he said. "The race didn't come to me like I expected it to, but it was a solid race and I was happy with it."
Edwards was also part of the winning 4x400 relay (3:33.43), while teammate Alex Raffone finished in third place in the 300 (36.82). North Branford finished in third place as a team with 33 points. Continued...
Seymour's Austin Fraser finished third in the long jump (20-5) and Old Saybrook's Nicholas Sumby was second in pole vault (12-0).
The State Open is set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the athletic center.

It's been almost a year in the making, but three lions and two tigers in Kansas will soon be on their way to new homes after PETA pressured local authorities to act. We were first alerted to the big cats' plight back in May 2008, when a passerby informed us that the animals were being kept in what essentially amounts to a junkyard. Behold, the "Prairie Cat Animal Refuge" in all its splendor:
In June, we sent a team of exotic-animal experts to assess the situation, and their reports were included in the local sheriff's case, which recommended that charges be filed against the cats' "owner" and that authorities take custody of the animals. Unfortunately, the case encountered reams of politically-charged red tape. Then, last month, a man "under the influence" who was working and staying at a so-called "hotel" on the property (it's called the "Free Breakfast Inn"—infer what you will from that), wandered up to the cages and was promptly bitten by a lion. That incident, while not so good for the man (he was hospitalized for surgery on his arm), finally galvanized the authorities into action.
In the meantime, PETA was lining up homes for the animals to be taken to once they were given a clean bill of health: The Detroit Zoo (a progressive zoo that closed its elephant exhibit for humane reasons and has provided a home for numerous rescued exotic animals, including one of the Suarez polar bears) has agreed to take all three lions, and the tigers will go to Carnivore Preservation Trust, a sanctuary in North Carolina. The zoo is covering all expenses for testing and transporting the lions, while PETA is covering the cost of testing and transporting the tigers. That cost is estimated at $3,000. We're hoping that the animals will be moved at the end of the month—we'll keep you posted.
So there you have it—the latest installment of "Your PETA Dollars at Work." Just doin' our job, folks.

Much to the dismay of struggling addicts in the Wolverine State, the Michigan Tobacco Quit Line has been shut down until October 1 because it just couldn't financially keep up with the requests for nicotine replacement therapy products.
As an organization that helps people fight another addiction (meat addiction, that is) we feel the quit line's pain.
That's why, after hearing about the help line's financial woes, we wrote a letter to the director of the Department of Community Health in Michigan offering to team up and help cover the hotline's costs. Our proposal includes renaming the quit line The Cancer Prevention Hotline (because that's the point, isn't it?) and including copies of PETA's free "Vegetarian Starter Kit" along with the other distributed materials.
Are you a smoker who needs another reason to quit? Did you know that most cigarettes are tested on animals? Gross.

Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched the series finale of Battlestar Galactica, do not read any further. Simply look at the photos below, then leave a comment telling us which public service announcement is your fave, Tricia "Six" Helfer's or Jamie "Lee Adama" Bamber's.
So the greatest show in the history of the universe, Battlestar Galatica, has come to an end, and now I have no idea what the frak I'm going to do with my Friday nights. (Wait, did someone just whisper Dollhouse into my ear?)
I loved that an underlying theme of the series was mankind's failure to learn from our mistakes and that it was our worst traits that led directly to our unraveling again and again. That leads me to lovely Tricia Helfer's character, Six, and the character everyone loves to hate, Gaius. Isn't it ironic that a version of the Six Cylon and Gaius would end up being angels (naughty, naughty angels) who would start the cataclysmic events that would end humankind? I think someone here at PETA anticipated that Tricia's character would turn out to be an angel; after all, we did ask her to star in our first-ever "Angel for Animals" ad in behalf of felines long before the finale was in sight.
The finale, while amazing, left me with mixed feelings. I was so excited to watch it, but at the same time, I was sad that the show had come to an end. I admit that I expected more … um … well, more carnage. I was positive that all the humans were actually Cylons, and I was convinced that more of the prominent cast members would die. And I kept thinking that the Cylons had one last sinister plot up their sleeve. Or that they were going to blow up the Galactica and kill everyone. I'm so glad I was wrong!
I would have been devastated if they had killed off my favorite characters, like Helo (did someone mention Dollhouse again?) and Lee "Apollo" Adama (aka Jamie Bamber), who, by the way, looked amazing in the last few episodes (and is by far the cuter of the two Adama boys), but not as good, of course, as when he took it all off to speak up for bears who are killed for their fur in the super-hot "Bare Skin, Not Bear Skin" ad. Oh, Jamie. And I love that, like every episode before, they kept us guessing. Well done, BSG writers!
As pretty as Tricia's ad is, Jamie's is still my favorite. Sigh. Check out their ads below and then tell us which one is your favorite. The reader with the most convincing response will win a copy of the ad of their choice.

Thanks for some awesome television, BSG. I miss you already.

P.S. I have to say that I think the high point of the finale for me was when Chief strangled Tory for shooting Cally out the airlock. I actually yelled out, "Yes! Finally!" It made my night.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Celebrity Apprentice star Khloe Kardashian brought in some reality-TV gold last night. Not only did she manage to escape getting fired in Trump's board room for the fourth week in a row, she also, on her popular E! series, brought some much needed attention to animals raised for fur.
I'm sure you all remember Khloe's sexy ad, which we unveiled not too long ago. Well, on Keeping Up last night, she really went above and beyond by showing—on national television—the gruesome and heartbreaking video footage that caused her to go fur-free. Hopefully, many of the millions of people watching were touched and inspired to make the same compassionate choice. After seeing a fully conscious animal having his or her skin ripped off, it's hard to sport that fur coat.
On the show, Khloe admitted that she had a hard time stripping down for the ad because of insecurity about her body. When you're tall and curvy and from a family full of petite models, that's definitely understandable. But lucky for us, animals, and the rest of the world, she laid her insecurities to rest and rocked the you-know-what out of the shoot. She summed it up best at the end of the episode when she said of the shoot, "It really helped me be comfortable in my own skin. In turn, I really hope this helps animals keep their skin."

Not since we were pitted against Nazi attack dogs when we first escaped from Castle Wolfenstein 17 years ago have we seen such barbaric treatment of dogs in video games as we did in Call of Duty, World at War. During the course of the game, you are forced to shoot attack dogs and you can actually unlock a "reward" that allows you to unleash a pack of attack dogs on enemies. In a post–Michael Vick world, you'd think that Activision Blizzard, which publishes the popular game, would take abusing dogs for entertainment purposes more seriously.
Fortunately, some students at a Massachusetts high school are not keeping quiet about their disgust with Activision. Breanna Lucci serves as president of the Animal Rights Club at the Academy of Notre Dame (NDA) in Tyngsborough. The following is from the Lowell Sun's interview with her (via GamePolitics.com):
"Killing dogs as a form of entertainment … over and over again. That's one of the objects of the game," says Lucci, 19, a senior at NDA. "Parents need to know what they are buying their kids. Killing animals should not be a form of entertainment." . . . "My little 12-pound Pomeranian, Winnie the Pooh, is sitting next to [Lucci's brother as he plays the game], and I'm thinking, 'This looks horrible!'" Lucci says. Lucci then adds, "My brother is a sweetheart. He won't be killing dogs after playing. But some people might."
"Killing dogs as a form of entertainment … over and over again. That's one of the objects of the game," says Lucci, 19, a senior at NDA. "Parents need to know what they are buying their kids. Killing animals should not be a form of entertainment."

Lucci then adds, "My brother is a sweetheart. He won't be killing dogs after playing. But some people might."
To help the folks at Activision Blizzard learn about the ethical treatment of animals (something we're sorta experts on) we're offering to let them take PETA's "Developing Empathy for Animals" seminar free of charge, and we're sending a package of dog-friendly Nintendogs games to their office.
With a little Nintendogs influence, perhaps the next Call of Duty game will have you unlock achievements for petting the dogs you encounter and going on walks or playing Frisbee with them.

This is it, people. If you haven't written to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee yet, today is the day. Not only did Canada's annual seal slaughter start today, they've actually increased the quota of seals that can be slaughtered. This means that seal killers can legally bash in the heads of up to 338,200 seals in the coming weeks. That's right—the world's biggest marine mammal slaughter just got bigger.
If you need a refresher course in just how disgusting the seal slaughter is, watch this video:
That's what the Canadian government has the unmitigated gall to call "humane." I kid you not.
Help stop this senseless massacre. Click here and here for a list of easy actions you can take for seals today. And please encourage your friends, family, and everyone you see on the street to do the same.
As a woman and an as-proud-as-you-can-be resident of New Jersey, I have to say that this latest piece of news frightened me right down to my … toes. The New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling was seriously considering a ban on any and all waxing of our lady-parts—particularly "Brazilians"—after two women wound up hospitalized with infections they contracted following their, ahem, extreme waxes. The idea of a ban has been dropped but that's not stopping us here at PETA. As you know, we are decidedly anti-fur—at least when it comes to fur that's been stolen from animals—and think women should have the right to shed as much fur as they want!
I mean, let's face it—if you're popping into the back room of your nail salon for a $15 Brazilian, you're probably going to get what you pay for, but that's no reason to consider a universal ban on waxing.
With that in mind, we're dispatching our lovely Leopard Ladies to the garden state to speak up for every woman's right to go as bare as she dares—and, more importantly, to call attention to a much grosser type of fur trim. You know, the stuff you see on the coats and jackets of people who don't know any better? And what better way to get tongues wagging about this very important issue than a billboard—specifically, this billboard:
Look out, Trenton! This will hopefully be coming soon to a billboard near you.

Just a stone's throw away from my favorite New York City restaurant is an Urban Outfitters store, whose aisles I've been known to peruse after a hearty meal of soul "chicken" and homemade "ice cream" (all vegan, of course!). Imagine my shock when, during a recent visit, I spotted fur in Urban Outfitters. Not acceptable. It's 2009, and with major retailers such as Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Nike, JCPenney—and just about everyone else under the sun—going fur-free, Urban Outfitters should have known better. But we all make mistakes … unfortunately.
Well, after several personal e-mails to Urban Outfitters' CEO followed by a PETA action alert, I'm happy to report that just a few months—and a few thousand e-mails—later, Urban Outfitters has become fur-free! In an e-mail I received from the company late last week, a representative wrote, "[T]here is no fur in our stores, and this will continue to be the case."
Kudos to Urban Outfitters for making this compassionate decision, and kudos to all our great supporters who help us win victories for animals by participating in campaigns like this one.
Unfortunately, not all companies are as easily convinced. We sure could use your help persuading Macy's to go fur-free.

After 30 years, Legends!—the infamous Broadway-play-that-wasn't—will finally be making its debut on the New York stage.
While the original, ill-fated touring productions featured such starlets as Carol Channing, Joan Collins, Linda Evans, and Mary Martin as aging rivals parading around in furs, the PETA-friendly revival will feature Whoopi Goldberg and drag legends Charles Busch and Lypsinka in some pretty spectacular faux furs. Hmm—the productions that used real fur never made it to New York, but the fur-free production has … weren't we just talking about curses?
How, you may ask, did this production get to be so animal-friendly? As PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews explains, "When Lypsinka heard about all the mink that was going to be used in the show, she asked PETA to help make sure that the fur was as fake as the leading ladies." Dan introduced the producers of Legends! to Donna Salyers' Fabulous-Furs, and the rest is fabulous costuming history.
This one-night-only revival of Legends! opens and closes tonight in New York's Town Hall, and the proceeds will benefit Friends in Deed, a crisis center for people with life-threatening illnesses. If you happen to be in the New York area and want to help out a good cause—and see some truly ravishing leading "ladies"—tickets may still be available through the organization's Web site.
Colonel Sanders got a taste of his own medicine when PETA marked the Association of Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees Convention in Maryland last month by "slaughtering" the Colonel outside a nearby KFC restaurant.
Luckily for the brave actor portraying Colonel Sanders, our slaughter methods are a bit more humane than those employed by KFC's suppliers. The Colonel was not slammed into shackles (which often breaks birds' legs), he wasn't jolted by an electrified "stun bath," and he wasn't dunked into a scalding-hot defeathering tank. Nope—we just strung him up, poked him with a plastic knife, and let the red paint fly. But it made a darned nice visual, didn't it?
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

text: The local Korean Restaurants can be traced back into history a long ways, to both myths and historical legend from Nomadic traditions in northern Korea and southern Manshuri. Not the same type of food over the entire area, Korean food varies by province, both in dishes and ingredients. Overall, the local Korean Restaurants offer a cuisine based on meat, vegetables, tofu, noodles and rice. With steamed short-grained rice as the main staple, each traditional meal is noted for its number of banchan (side dishes) which accompany the rice. However, every Korean meal offers Kimchi, a spicy pickled vegetable dish such as chard, with various spices that is also a common ingredient added to many other ingredients to make a Kimchi stew. The seasonings of the Korean meals consist of red chili paste, salt, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, fermented soybean paste, and soy sauce. Many Korean eateries make the popular hotteok or bungeoppang that customers purchase to eat there or wrap them up to take home to later on. Hotteok is a Korean filled pancake, with the dough made from wheat flour, water, milk, sugar and yeast � after raising, they are filled with brown sugar, honey, shopped peanuts and cinnamon which is then cooked on a greased griddle. Bungeoppang is a Japanese fish-shaped pastry, made similar to a waffle. Red bean paste is added into the fish mold and covered by more batter. Once it is closed, it is roasted like a piece of "fish bread." It was first introduced into Korea in 1930 when the Japanese occupied Korea. Another type of Korean pancake served is the Jeon, made with chopped kimchi or seafood chopped up and added into a wheat batter before pan frying it. It is then dipped into a bowl of soy sauce, vinegar and red pepper powder.

Hard Mode
Comments625this wiki
- Not to be confused with Hardcore Mode, the character-specific difficulty setting in which a character has only one life and cannot respawn after death.
Hard Mode is an aptly named world-specific mode that is unlocked by defeating the Wall of Flesh. The Corruption spreads more rapidly in Hard Mode, and a new biome known as The Hallow is created. New monsters, bosses, and items are available in Hard Mode as well. This mode cannot be turned off - defeating the Wall of Flesh will permanently set that world to Hard Mode, unless one uses cheats. The only way to convert a world back to Easy Mode is through third party editing.
Contents |
Activating Hard ModeEdit
Defeating the Wall of Flesh (WoF) in the Underworld will permanently unlock Hard Mode in that world only.World ChangesEdit
Immediately after Hard Mode is active, a new biome called The Hallow will be created. It will reach from the surface to the Underworld. The newly formed path will be diagonal, centering below the spawn point, forming a V or an X of Corruption and Hallow.
Also note that destroying Demon Altars will spawn random blocks of Corruption or Hallow somewhere underground. However, they will also spawn random pockets of the new Hard Mode ores (Cobalt Ore, Mythril Ore, and Adamantite Ore depending on how many Demon Altars you have already destroyed). Every time a Demon Altar is destroyed, 1-3 Wraiths will spawn.
Floating Islands can also become hallowed or corrupted.
The CorruptionEdit
- Main article: The Corruption
Once in Hard Mode, The Corruption will become much harder to maintain and will spread faster and more 'thoroughly' (more blocks becoming vulnerable to the corruption including stone blocks and sand blocks) and even underground beyond the initial chasms. New enemies will begin to spawn (with much higher HP and damage than previous foes). Remember that NPCs will move out when Corruption is closer than 50 Blocks.
As of 1.1.2, Hard Mode adds 8 new Corrupted monsters:
- Clinger
- Corrupt Slime
- Corruptor
- Cursed Hammer
- Dark Mummy (Corrupted Desert only)
- Slimer
- World Feeder
- Wraith
The Console Version additional adds stronger Versions of already existing ones. Among them, the new Corrupted Monsters are:
- Shadow Hammer
- Shadow Mummy (Corrupted Desert only)
- Shadow Slime
The HallowEdit
- Main article: The Hallow
The Hallow acts very similar to the Corruption as it spreads across the world, taking over a handful of other biomes. The difference is it's not in your world to begin with (the Corruption(s) is randomly generated upon world creation). Unlocking Hard Mode will also unlock the Hallow (randomly created, taking over a considerable chunk of a pre-existing slot of land). The Hallow cannot pass through Corruption, however. Spreading the Hallow over the world with hallowed seeds is often preferred over Corruption.
As of 1.1.2, there exist 8 hallowed monsters: Surface:
- Gastropod
- Pixie
- Unicorn
- Light Mummy (Hallowed Desert only)
Underground Hallow:
Among the stronger Console-Variants, the new Hallowed Monsters are:
- Spectral Elemental
- Spectral Gastropod
- Spectral Mummy (Hallowed Desert only)
Standard BiomesEdit
Once Hard Mode is activated, additional monsters will also appear in the pre-existing biomes.
- Clown (Only on Blood Moons.)
- Mummy (Desert only)
- Wandering Eye (Night only)
- Werewolf (Only on Full Moons)
- Angler Fish
- Green Jellyfish
- Possessed Armor
- Mimic (Can spawn pre-Hardmode by activating Chest Statues with wire, but will not drop anything)
Bosses & EventEdit
There are three bosses and one event that come with Hard Mode:
- The Twins (boss)
- The Destroyer (boss)
- Skeletron Prime (boss)
- Frost Legion (during Christmas)
They are all revised and beefed up versions of old bosses and events. None of these bosses should be taken lightly, and generally would require more than one player to defeat within their night time limits.
Wyvern is a mini-boss. It may spawn when you are at an adequate height (Floating Islands for instance). Also, it only spawns after Hard Mode is activated.
During Blood MoonsEdit
The Clown, an enemy which throws Bombs, can potentially destroy player buildings as well as the environment. This is typically prevented by creating a barrier of indestructible blocks such as Dungeon Bricks.
Additionally, ghost-like monsters called Wraiths will spawn in greater numbers during a Blood Moon. They are a great threat as they pass through walls and are difficult or impractical to kill with traps. However, Wraiths can be dealt with by building a floating house, or otherwise creating a large gap between the player's house and its surroundings. This prevents Wraiths from entering the house by taking advantage of the fact that they cannot float higher than ~3 blocks off the ground in open spaces.Recommended PreparationsEdit
- It is recommended to have Molten Armor and a full molten set before killing the Wall of Flesh.
- You should always make a Molten Pickaxe before entering Hard Mode so you can gather cobalt as fast as possible.
- Ranged weaponry is very important before entering Hard Mode.
- Have a Nurse, a Merchant, a Goblin Tinkerer, and an Arms Dealer before entering Hard Mode.
- Having a high damage weapon is a must, as most of the pre-Hardmode weapons will deal very low damage. Night's Edge is a good choice for a melee character; a mage may want the Demon Scythe which deals decent damage too.
- Try to make some fortifications to your house using wire and indestructible blocks.
- Note on the Upcoming Update: Redigit has said that he revamped Hard Mode and also added an item (could be also a tool/weapon) called Clentaminator that deals with Hallow/Corruption. (Reference: [1])
- Rarely, when you spawn in a Hard Mode world, you will immediately get hit for 5,000 damage (Defense not included). (Not confirmed)
- You might still have the Hallow underground if you changed your world to easy mode and every once in a while a Chaos Elemental will spawn.
- You might not be able to spawn the Wall of Flesh. If this happens, you may need to wait up to 8 Terraria days.

Step 1 — Display Remove the two Phillips #00 screws from the dock-connector end of the iPhone.
Step 2Remove the metal handle from the suction cup. It's easier and safer to grip the suction cup's base instead of the metal handle.Be very careful when opening the iPhone so that the cables under the display are not severed.There is a rubber gasket between the silver front bezel and black display assembly. A bit of force is required in this step to separate the iPhone's display assembly.Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.

Medical Center of Lewisville's Rehabilitation Institute discharges 100th patient
Joe Cross was just trying to get home to Flower Mound. He'd spent most of the last two weeks as a volunteer cook for relief workers and shelters in Middleton, NJ as part of the Oklahoma Southern Baptist Disaster Relief group based in Edmond. When the group returned to Edmond, Cross was ready to head for home. Instead, he's lucky to be alive.
