I try to deal promptly with corrections for my records suggested by other folks, but there are things I won't do.
I will not copy and paste every census transcription for the deceased's natural life into the bio section.
I don't do verbatim transcription of obituaries unless I am sure that 1) there's not going to be a copyright infringement issue; and 2) I'm not making names of living survivors searchable.
Friday, I got another request from someone to add the cause of death cited in a news article to the bio field. The requestor had already asked me to do that several months ago, and I declined.
So she was asking again.
I emailed her and told her that I prefer to use the bio field for a real bio - information about the person while they were living, to flesh them out as a 3 dimensional human being - and I didn't think adding that this individual died of pneumonia contributed to that.
I also offered to transfer the record to her in the event that she felt very strongly that the record just could not be complete without the cause of death.
Haven't heard back from her...

[For this blog post, i am thankful to Karyn Buxman for allowing me to share some images and information from her website]
Since my birth I have been hearing "Laughter is the best medicine". As a kid I never believed it. Whenever I got ill, instead of convincing me to laugh, my parents made me drink all sort of crazy syrups.
Now that I have my own kids, I do the same to the kids, but at the same time encourage them to develop a strong sense of humor. Of course by laughing or smiling your fever won't go away but it will make your suffering bearable.
Studies have shown positive results of smile / laughter on your health. By laughing, we manage to reduce a stress harmone in our bodies called "Cortisol", while the level of "Endorphins" increases which creates a chemical rush that fights negative feeling and stress. It also eases muscle tension which is good for rheumatism and so on. I think those days are not far away when your doctor will be prescribing a heavy dose of daily laughter and smile along with the pills for most of the diseases.
Take for example diabetes. Karyn Buxman, full time professional speaker, writer, consultant and the publisher of the renowned Journal of Nursing Jocularity, has written the first in a series of books for patients with chronic illness: What's So Funny About Diabetes? A Creative Approach to Coping With Your Disease
There is nothing funny about this serious disease. According to a recent report the number of diabetic patients worldwide has skyrocketed to 230 million. In Pakistan there are 7.1 million people suffering from diabetes whereas this figure could go up to 11.5 Million by 2025. In US, currently one in 10 adults has diabetes, but those numbers could go as high as 1 in 3 by the year 2050.
But when it comes to handling diabetes, there is after all something funny about it. No wonder based on its therapeutic value, laughter is indeed the best medicine even for diabetes. Humor and laughter have been shown scientifically to have positive benefits for diabetic patients. Laughter has been shown to lower blood glucose in diabetics, as well as decrease hormones that can be harmful.
Karyn's book shows how you can incorporate humor in your daily life to better manage your diabetes. The books provide useful information not only for diabetic patients but also for the ones who are taking care of them.To read more about the book, please visit Karyn's own page

The most controversial provision of the bailout was the tax on deposits, which are protected in Cyprus, as in the rest of the EU, to a level of €100,000. As compensation, depositors would have been offered bank shares, underwritten by income from as-yet undeveloped natural gas deposits in Cypriot waters.
Cyprus was reluctant to increase the levy on larger amounts. It feared it would scare away international investors drawn by its low corporate tax rate and open economy -- in particular, Russians who hold as much as a third of the country's bank deposits.
The country first asked the EU for help last June. But talks were hampered by the reluctance of a previous government to accept terms, and also by EU concerns about money laundering.
Russia has come to Cyprus' aid in the past, providing a €2.5 billion loan in 2011 to shore up government finances. But its participation in the new rescue was looking uncertain after President Vladimir Putin attacked the tax on bank deposits as "unprofessional and dangerous".
A finance ministry spokesman said Russia was reviewing its position after not being consulted on the decision to impose the levy. Cypriot Finance Minister Michalis Sarris was traveling to Moscow for talks on Wednesday.
Cyprus is the fourth of 17 eurozone states to be granted a bailout by its EU partners and the IMF, after Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Spain has been given EU assistance to rescue its banks, but has so far avoided asking for a full sovereign bailout.

Rosemary Hill
Did you know?
The African potato, or hypoxis, has been used medicinally by traditional healers for centuries.
For a delightful day out, take yourself off to Rosemary Hill, just 10 minutes from Pretoria, and see where organic farming has been practiced for over 3 decades.
This family-run organic farm prides itself on its welcoming and eco-friendly hospitality where you can potter around the nursery brimming with plants from which essential oils are distilled, nibble some home grown pecan nuts or simply admire over 30 000 fragrant trees and shrubs.
But no visit to Rosemary Hill should exclude high tea (prior booking is essential). You'll feast on cucumber and mint sandwiches, biltong and peppadew tartlets, wholegrain bread cups with salmon and caper berries, mini pancakes with chicken terrine, rosewater-glazed scones with cream and jam, custard-filled filo pastries, decadent cupcakes and creamy coffee chocolate mousse. Choose between 10 different brands of tea, or opt for coffee and a fresh fruit juice.
Before or after tea, take time to wander round the fragrant maze and breathe in aromas from over 3 000 plants, including lavender, rosemary and African potato.
If you feel the need to work off those recently acquired calories, you can follow a variety of mountain bike, running or hiking trails through fields of rosemary, over streams and dams, and though indigenous vegetation. Choose a 6km, 10km or 18km trail.
And if you're thinking of tying that knot, Rosemary Hill hosts traditional farm weddings, which, as the farm says, 'won't break the bank' and will leave you with wonderful memories.

HealthPartners, a nonprofit HMO, recently awarded Therapy Partners Inc a 2011 Excellence in Innovation award for its project Value-based Purchasing Model for Therapy Services.
Therapy Partners' 6-member independent physical therapy practices collected outcomes information using a patient-reporting tool over the course of 1 year. That information helped HealthPartners develop a pay-for-performance model for therapy services that focuses payment on value rather than on volume of services.
With health care reform's emphasis on developing new models of care that reduce costs and increase patient outcomes, it is important that physical therapists (PTs) begin to consider similar models for their practices. To help APTA members seek opportunities in the changing health care environment, APTA has created a series of videos that highlight various innovative clinical practice models. Each APTA member appearing in a video is part of a nontraditional, outside-the-box creative practice model. These videos can help PTs gain insight and inspiration as they look for ways to become involved in new models of care delivery.
Exercising for an hour every 2 days lowered blood sugar as much as daily 30-minute workouts in a group of 30 men with type 2 diabetes, says a Reuters Health article based on a Dutch study published in Diabetes Care.
The men in the new study were 60 years old on average. About half of them required insulin injections to control their blood sugar. The rest managed their condition with diet and oral medication.
The 30 men participated in 3 experiments that lasted 3 days each. In 1 of the 3 experiments, they cycled for 60 minutes on the first day and then rested the next day. In the other, they cycled for 30 minutes on 2 consecutive days. In the third, they didn't exercise at all. Throughout the experiments, they ate a standardized diet and were asked to continue with their daily level of activity.
The researchers continuously monitored the men's blood sugar during exercise and for the next couple of days.
When the men didn't exercise at all, they had high blood sugar 32% of the time. But when they biked, their blood sugar was in the high range only 24% of the time, no matter which schedule they followed, Reuters says.
The 2 exercise schedules also did equally well in terms of lowering the men's average blood sugar levels.
The authors suggest that women with type 2 diabetes are likely to reap the same benefits as the men in this study. However, the participants in the current study were relatively healthy. They didn't have heart disease and weren't extremely obese, so the results may not apply to all people with type 2 diabetes, says the article.

It's official: Yahoo has purchased popular blogging platform Tumblr for more than a billion dollars - $1.1bn to be exact.
The internet's latest nine-figure acquisition is probably one most industry observers wouldn't have predicted.
After all, despite that an ex-Googler, Marissa Mayer, is at Yahoo's helm, there were few prior indicators that she was looking to make a billion dollar purchase.
And if there had been, Tumblr, while incredibly popular, doesn't seem like the company that would have made it to the top of the list as Yahoo's track record with acquisitions of user generated content startups is not all that impressive.
From Geocities to Flickr, Yahoo has proven to be a master of reverse alchemy in the space, repeatedly finding ways to turn gold to lead.

Google's decision to move its Shopping product from a free to a paid-for service has coincided with a massive decline in the number of shopping results showing up in universal search integrations on Google.com.
A new report from Searchmetrics shows that in January 2012 shopping results appeared in 20% of universal search integrations, however by December this number had fallen to just 5%.
The steepest decline occurred in October, which is also the month that Google made the switch to a paid-for model.
To be clear, universal search refers to boxes containing additional media, which appear between the actual organic search results and can also generate higher click rates.
Overall the data shows that the proportion of keywords with at least one universal search integration declined throughout 2012. In January the proportion was about 86% but by December it had decreased to 75%.

When Google purchased YouTube for $1.65bn in late 2006, some wondered whether the acquisition would be the Web 2.0 equivalent of Yahoo's ill-fated billion-dollar purchase of Broadcast.com during the first .com boom.
It was hard not to be somewhat skeptical: YouTube was an expensive operation to run and was facing the same type of legal assault from Hollywood that basically killed Napster 1.0 years earlier.

A recent Gartner press release suggested a major change in the way we might interact with ecommerce in within the next few years. Their prediction is that by 2015 fully half of retail customer identities will be based on social network identities. The report's main thrust is on the impact of this shift on IT and security infrastructure, but what is much more interesting is the potential for a more direct connection between purchase and social identity.
The logic behind this potential growth is the frictionless "log-in with Facebook or twitter" option that allows customers to skip the laborious sign up or registration process. But the obvious question that arises is: What happens when social identity becomes purchaser identity? When you consider the potential meshing of purchase data with social data there appears to be a huge opportunity here for e-commerce sites to improve sales and build loyalty.

According to Google and YouTube, they are adjusting rankings so that videos with more "watch time" are ranked highest. In other words, the amount of time a video is played and, presumably, watched, matters more than how many times people view it.
The solution to this ranking challenge is user-generated video. We know that site visitors are interested in what other customers are saying about your products. People value these honest, objective opinions from those outside of your business.
What's more, user-generated videos are more than informative. They're often funny, which can compel viewers to stay tuned longer.

The old expression, "Vox populi, vox Dei," is typically translated, "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Nobody's exactly sure what it means. Democrats with a small "d" like to imagine it equates the will of the people with the will of God, but it could also simply mean that public opinion, while not always wise is, like the will of God, irresistible.
Consider the following "man in the street" survey. The reporter inquired what passersby thought of President Obama's "proposed gun control policies." The question presupposes optimistically that the respondents had a clue as to what the President's proposals were, an unwarranted optimism based on their responses.
The framers of our Constitution were passionately committed to liberty and also eminently practical. The second amendment's language allows a reasonable middle ground between confiscating everybody's guns and permitting cruise missiles on everybody's front lawns. My point here, though, isn't to discuss gun control but rather to examine what passes for an opinion worthy of public consideration.
An educated, informed judgment is ordinarily preferable to an opinion founded on ignorance, but educated people are entirely capable of saying stupid things. The first man in the street, for example, is a psychologist who favors tighter gun controls. His tirade against the "armaments industry" specifically targets the producers of both "war weapons" and "children's weapons like the iPod." Now, I've never been accused of being an iPod fan, and I think most of us would be better off if we spent less time staring at handheld devices, but likening an MP3 player to an assault rifle is less than helpful or enlightening.
I'm even more confused as to why a newspaper would print the opinion of someone whose opposition to gun control rests on his certainty that the President is "Muslim and he's not a citizen of the United States." First, everybody knows Mr. Obama can't be a Muslim because long before his detractors hurled that false accusation, they were condemning him for attending the wrong Protestant church. As for his citizenship, Hawaii has been United States territory since 1898 when President McKinley and Congress said so.
The survey's final voice from the people is even more perplexing. Beginning from the premise that "Obama's a joke" because he wants to do something about gun laws, this spotlighted citizen next complains that "they should have done something about the gun laws earlier," a position she holds for several syllables before declaring her opposition to gun laws because "I don't think it's fair."
I'm not surprised that people sometimes say ridiculous things. I've said and written things that make me cringe in retrospect. I also know that ordinary people can have good ideas. My coffee shop cronies often make more sense than the pundits on the national news.
The trouble is in our fondness for democratic equality, we've forgotten that simply having a voice doesn't mean you always need to exercise it. All opinions aren't equally valid or equally worth offering.
In an age where the way to a reader or viewer's heart is commonly through his ego, "empowering" readers or viewers is the surest way to keep them turning the pages or tuning in. Unfortunately, empowerment too often means granting someone more space or airtime than his ideas or experience deserve.
I want to hear an informed, civil debate, including points of view I disagree with. I want to hear what people have to say but only if they really have something to say. I don't tune in to CNN to read cell phone messages from random viewers in Ohio who feel like tweeting their thoughts about the European debt crisis. If I did, I'd call random cell phones in Ohio and ask. Continued...
Even if we grant that everybody has a right to his opinion, that doesn't mean the rest of us are obliged to listen to it. When it's in the paper or on television, we can just turn the page or turn if off. But what do we do when it happens in real life? What do we do when it happens in our schools?
Schools are treated daily to the opinions of parents and citizens, offered in the principal's office and at school board meetings. Most of those opinions and requests are rational and constructive, even when they're mistaken or ill-advised.
The trouble is some aren't rational, and they're crippling our schools. The further trouble is no one will say so out loud. Instead, we offer the ranters and ravers equal time, often more than equal time, partly to placate them and partly because we've convinced ourselves that every opinion deserves to be heard and respected.
No, they don't.
Fairness and an open mind are essential to sound thinking, and everyone has the right to form an opinion. But no one has the right to demand that others listen to it.
All ideas aren't created equal. Some are foolish, vicious, and unhinged. It's time for the civil majority to tell the irrational voices among us, "You spoke. You've been heard. Now you're done."
If we wish to preserve the voice of the people, our voices must be governed by reason and tempered with respect.

French Open preview: Nadal dominance to continue
Novak Djokovic poses the most potent threat to Rafael Nadal as he bids for an eighth French Open title.
Novak Djokovic poses the most potent threat to Rafael Nadal as he bids for an eighth French Open title.
Serena Williams may have shown relatively indifferent form at Roland Garros over the years, but the world number one is in a strong position to regain the French Open title she last won in 2002.
Andy Murray has withdrawn from next week's French Open after failing to recover from a back injury picked up at the Rome Masters.
Rafael Nadal continued his stunning run of form by crushing Roger Federer in little more than an hour to win the Internazionali d'Italia in Rome.
In the women's final, world number one Serena Williams was an emphatic winner as she dispatched Victoria Azarenka 6-1 6-3 to claim her fourth straight title.
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will re-ignite their famous rivalry once more in the final of the Internazionali d'Italia on Sunday after both came through their last four clashes in Rome.
Serena Williams will be gunning for her fourth successive title when she takes on Victoria Azarenka in the final of the Internazionali d'Italia.
Tomas Berdych tasted only his second victory in 15 clashes with Novak Djokovic to reach the semi-finals of the Rome Masters.
Andy Murray does not expect to be fit for the French Open after retiring from his second-round match in Rome today with a recurrence of a back problem.
A rusty Venus Williams was blown away 6-3 6-2 by rising British left-hander Laura Robson at the Rome Masters tennis on Monday.
Rafael Nadal continued his superb form since returning to tennis earlier this year by defeating Stanislas Wawrinka in the Madrid Open.
Serena Williams retained her Mutua Madrid Open title and number one spot in the rankings with victory over Maria Sharapova

Defending champion Roger Federer was stunned by Japan's Kei Nishikori in the last 16 of the Mutua Madrid Open today.
A teary Grigor Dimitrov claimed the biggest scalp of his burgeoning career as he knocked world number one Novak Djokovic out of the Mutua Madrid Masters.

[Solved] javascript help
I am working on a site to get a div to slidetoggle up and down. It seems to be doing it. When I push the link, the div goes down and when I push it again, it goes up. Problem is that when I do push the link which is just an empty link with a class, the page jumps to the top. I need to prevent the default action of the link. I thought I could do it with e.prevendDefault() but that seems to disable the link all together and the div stops working. Do you know how to do this?

Should work fine. Here's a quick demo: http://codepen.io/ggilmore/pen/BGxKm
Just have to make sure to put function(e) before using e.preventDefault().
Also, not sure if this was the problem, but you misspelled 'prevent' in your post.thanks Doc, I missed the e in the function(e). That is why it didn't work. It's working now.

Here's a good article about the difference:
http://www.fundamentalfinance.com/401k/401k-vs-simple.php Personally I would still stick with a 401k. We found that our TPA charged about $20 a participant a quarter and the recordkeeper was feeless.....(or should I say those fees were taken into account on the returns on the investments? which is probably more accurate!) If your plan has safe harbor testing, you can even get around nondiscrimination testing. I don't remember the advantages of a SIMPLE plan over a 401k, but can say that a 401k with a small population is not hard to deal with.....if you have a good TPA and a good recordkeeper (I suggest American Funds). |

U.lab is an interdisciplinary framework for innovation projects at UTS. It creates opportunities for design-led innovation where learning, research and industry engagement are infused. We believe that Innovation occurs between people, not in isolation, and how we innovate is the product of opportunistic interactions.
We seek to expand the capacity of design-thinking into a truly interdisciplinary collaboration between entrepreneurial activity, corporate R&D and academic thought leadership. The projects we are tackling at u.lab require radical cross-boundary thinking and embedded cooperation within complex systems of effect. Our backgrounds are in Business, Engineering, Architecture, Design and IT and at u.lab we contribute and expand our cross-disciplinary knowledge and expertise.
Currently u.lab hosts five programs:
- The Entrepreneurship Lab is a full semester interdisciplinary design thinking course within which students leverage their own discipline knowledge and work in mixed teams to apply skills of 'Design Thinking' and 'Creative Enterprise' and develop solutions for the real world.
- Creative Minds are a 2-4 day series of workshops to tackle pressing real world innovation challenges. In a small group of students, professionals and academics the creative journey is facilitated using integrative and design thinking.
- BikeTank is a intensive workshop where we play with new design thinking methods for cities. Each BikeTank is an intensive exploration into a defined topic hosted by emerging design entrepreneurs and leading thinkers, contributing to a bigger picture project.

text: I think it is great you've managed to skip the publishers and go with digital download only. However, I don't like the digital download services Steam and GamersGate because they are DRM in themselves. I have to rely on their servers being on forever. I don't like that thought, I want to play my game forever in theory. Is there any way you can provide a way I can buy the game directly from you like I did with World of Goo?

3. | shitters | ||
Any young rock-orientated adolescent that procrastinates (often in large groups) in public places for no apparent reason. Shitters are also known for their pseudo-drunken or pseudo-stoned behaviour, often through a lack of knowledge or unwillingness to learn. "You're all Centenary shitters!" Used to describe the shitter problem in Centenary Square, Bradford, UK (where the phrase was coined).

The program is designed for undergraduates who are either first-generation and income eligible college students or from groups which are underrepresented at the doctoral level.
The McNair Scholars program at Suffolk University encourages graduate studies by providing opportunities for undergraduates to define their goals, to engage in research, and to develop the skills and student/faculty mentor relationships critical to success at the doctoral level.
The McNair program was established by the U.S. Department of Education and named for Astronaut and Challenger space shuttle crew member Ronald McNair. The first programs were funded in 1989.

Original Minecraft Forum Link
For quite a while, I've been searching for Minecraft mods that have to do with Homestuck. Honestly, I've found two or three. None of them are playable on the newest build. And the best-looking, here, is nowhere near complete. It's also very game changing. So, I decided to begin working on a mod of my own. This is where you come in. We need coders and spriters, and maybe someone to help with the planning.
I have a lot of the features planned out. There should be a few new mobs (Derse/Prospit soldiers, Imps, Salamanders, and more, hopefully). Grist will play a huge part, and will be dropped from every mob just like experience. Lastly, an entire new crafting system for the new weapons and items.
Here's what we have so far:
-Grist: Any destroyed creature/animal drops Grist (there's a set amount, and a 'bonus' amount that they might drop). Certain Grists are worth more than others, too. For example, one red Grist is worth five blue Grist, and you can craft one red Grist using five blue. This is useful for storing it and for those really big items.
-Cruxtruder: Grist is used to power the Cruxtruder. It doesn't take very much Grist to produce one Cruxite Dowel. However, you can't go to the Totem Lathe Yet because...
-Punch Designix: This was the hardest thing to come up with, and will probably be the hardest to code. In the comic, it's used to take the codes of items and make them into punched cards. Simple as that, but that's incredibly confusing in Minecraft, so I came up with a better idea.
Upon using the Punch Designix, a GUI comes up that looks similar to a 3x3 Crafting Grid. Some blocks, when placed into this other end, yield a punch card that you can later bring to the Totem Lathe.
If you're wondering how you get the new items, fear not. The weaker versions of the new items (say, the sledgehammer and the cane) can be created naturally. The powered up versions can be created using Grist later, by fusing one of the original items with some newer components to create the cards here. That's why there's a 3x3 Crafting grid. You'll be losing the items you use, though. This'll be explained in depth a bit later.
-Totem Lathe: You're near the end now. Clicking this opens a GUI similar to a furnace. You put your Cruxite Dowel at the top, and your Punch Card at the bottom. It will create a Carved Cruxite Dowel, and represents a certain item. You can use it as many times as you want, so don't make more than one for the same item. I also wouldn't mix them up with other Cruxite Dowels, because the only way to tell them apart is the curve in the sprite.
-Alchemiter: The last thing. Another furnace-like GUI. You put your Carved Cruxite Dowel on the top, and a stack of Grist at the bottom. The rarer and better the item, the more Grist it will cost to create. It doesn't take long, but you should make sure enough Grist is available.
So, everything's easily integrated into the game. It's nothing huge like a new dimension, simply a new way to get new items, and a great reason to grind enemies to duplicate your rarest items.
Examples of using the 'SBURB Method.'
Making a Diamond.
It all starts and ends with the Grist you have, so make sure you have enough. You head over to the Cruxtruder to create one Cruxite Dowel. Then you head over to the Punch Designix and insert your diamond. It will cost you one Diamond, but it'll create one Diamond Punch Card. You bring the Diamond Punch Card and the Cruxite Dowel to the Totem Lathe, and the Cruxite Dowel is turned into a Carved Cruxite Dowel (CCD) (and you get to keep the Diamond Punch Card). Then you place the CCD into the Alchemiter (along with the appropriate amount of Grist). Within a few seconds, the Grist will have been converted into one Diamond. The CCD can be used as many times as you want for infinite Diamonds (as long as you have enough Grist).
Creating one of the new items. (Sickle/Regisickle)
Everything starts at the same place, of course. A sickle is crafted using a stick and three iron ingots.
=Where S represents wooden stick and I represents an Iron Ingot. For the record, it has the power of an iron sword and yields extra wheat when using it as a farming tool.Code:[I][I][_] [_][_][I] [_][S][_]
So, you want to create a Regisickle. You go collect a Cruxite Dowel, and head over to the Punch Designix. However, it's here that it gets complicated. At the Punch Designix, you place the Sickle into the crafting area, and you also toss two blocks of Obsidian in. Instead of a card for the Sickle (you would have gotten one if you just put the sickle in), you got a card for the Regisickle. After that, you just bring the card to the Alchemiter and everything remains straightforward.
Planned items:
Weapons: (there are -s by the objects that can be hand-crafted.)
Scarlet Ribbitar
-Steel Hammer
Pogo Hammer
Telescopic Sassacrusher
Fear No Anvil
Pop-a-matic Vrillyhoo Hammer
Warhammer of Zillyhoo
-Knitting Needles
Thorns of Oglogoth
-Hunting Rifle
Girl's Best Friend
Ahab's Crosshairs
Homes Smell Ya Later
-Claw Gloves
Blue Claw Gloves
Spear Cane
Dragon Cane
Fluorite Octet
-Deuce Clubs
Other Items
Grist (Colours/types undefined so far)
Grist Block
Punch Designix
Totem Lathe
Planned Features.
-Quest Trees: Created by mixing a sapling with a Cruxite Dowel in the Alchemy System. Growing this baby will yield a solid blue tree that does not yield anything when broken, except for the center block, which drops a consumable Quest Item. Using it start the meteor shower, and make Medium gates usable. Something like this, anyways.
-Meteor Showers: Involves two things. One: retextures the sky (red with a large meteor sun) during the day, and possibly triggers some event that begins to rain meteors. Not sure how, or what they'll look like. I know it can be done (a modder has done it before, and maybe we can ask them to borrow the code).
-Mobs: Including (but not limited to) imps, salamanders, ogres, Derse (soldiers, Jack, Queen, and King), Prospit (same).
-Achievements. Still in the idea stage, but feasible. A main idea being crafting a bucket and getting the achievement 'PUT THAT THING AWAY.' Credit to a user on Pesterchum. I will go through the logs later and find his actual name.
There's a bit more but none comes to mind.
Things that May Happen in The Future?
Mobs! Special abilities on items! The sky's the limit. (Or, more specifically, how good are coders are is the limit.)

If you like this series it is an ok rental. Amateur Reviewer is correct, it is so so. The girls are not that hot but that is the pattern in this series, regular looking girls usually in short skirts and sneakers. The turn on is the sex is decent. The girls get pounded in this series and look spent with their hair a mess at the end of the action. Camera work was not as good on this volume and the stage settings were flat.
All of the hardcore is decent with the Amber Lee scene the best. She always seems to be into any sex scene and doesn't fake anything. Girls are pretty average in looks, no knockouts on this volume. This is one of the few titles in this long series that does not include interracial sex so I preferred it. This title like many in this series has zero originality by T.T. Boy. Every scene is on the same bed, same mattress and same wood paneling walls; would have helped by changing the setting every now and then. Otherwise, no complaints.
This is not one of Tyce Bunne's better titles. He usually delivers a solid product. It is true, he shoots inside the girls and then keeps going which turns into a frothy mess. Some of the action is decent but I found the picture quality to be very grainy and not sharp which hurt viewing it.
The girls Tyce Bunne gets are rather average looking, no stunners or models but they always seem to cream themselves and the camera work is excellent. You can tell the girls are into the sex.
I found other volumes far better than this one. The girls did not turn me on and the camera work needs improvement. The hardcore sex is usually above average in this series but the girls are at best average looking and very plain.
I agree with most of the reviews, this film brings an intense feeling to it and has some scorching action. Like someone else commented, I can't give it 5 stars because the girls are not really attractive but give me average looking girls anyday who are into the sex. The girls look like they came off the street and performed like first timers.
The sex is decent in all the scenes and the camera work is not bad either. In addition the girls dressed as cheerleaders in short skirts and sneakers works well. What hurt this is the girls are not attractive. It is like watching an amateur flick with average sex and girls you would not give a second look. My rating....2-1/2 stars.
The girls are cute and young, nothing wrong with any of them. But the camera work stinks, it is filmed mostly at a far away distance that you can't enjoy it. Occasionally you will get a close up shot but they quickly revert to shooting from far away. Also, this is in widescreen format so half the picture is blacked out on the top and bottom of the screen. To top it off, picture quality is grainy but tolerable. The director managed to get nice girls but screwed up with the camera people who are clueless.
A total of 7 scenes on this title and features a lot of Tyce Bune who dresses many of the girls in skirts and sneakers to resemble cheerleaders. The girls appear to be very young, barely legal status but aside from Violet Blue who is eye catching and on the cover, the rest of the girls are not at all cute. This could have been very good but it feels too scripted with camera angles lacking and no flow to it. Nothing stood out as special.
This 1997 release has 11 girls and not a single girl turned me on in any way. It may be an amateur title but come on and get at least one cute girl. The sex is lousy and it is interrupted continually to insert toys into each girl or pull beads out of their rear ends. Van Damage directed this and some volumes in this series have good action, this one is a dog. Don't be tricked by the box cover photo as I was fooled by all the smiles on the girls.

Course Selection and Academic Advising
The University of Connecticut School of Law offers over 150 courses outside of the first year curriculum. These courses vary in format and cover a broad spectrum of legal areas. Deciding which courses to choose can be a daunting task for some students. These pages have been developed to facilitate that process for you. Academic advising, however, is an individualized art. There is no standard curriculum appropriate for all students. Thus, in addition to reviewing the material provided here, you are strongly encouraged to discuss course selection with your academic advisor and other members of the law school community.
Please also remember that you cannot possibly take all the courses suggested. The study of law is a life long process and law school is a (short) three or four years. We encourage you to take courses that are intrinsically appealing to you as well as courses that you need to take for other reasons. Law school offers the opportunity to acquire a broad-based knowledge of the law which will serve you well in whatever career you choose.
