Black, hard-wearing Barathea wool front panels
Darts at the shoulders and waist

Newton Wins Lincoln GP in Style
© Cheryl King
Chris Newton danced away on the final climb of the Lincoln Grand Prix to win the prestigious event for the second time in his career. A race that is always hotly contested by riders from home and abroad, the Lincoln GP is arguably the number one race on the British calendar.
Ten laps of Lincoln's historic streets including cobbled climbs and a technical course make for a demanding and entertaining three hours plus of racing. The Rapha Condor Sharp boys put on a superb display in front of record crowds, Kristian House stringing the field out early to show the British National Road Race champ and his team mates meant business. Olympic medallist Newton, looking to have found fine form at just the right time, used his tactical prowess to stay at the front and attack when it mattered. Speaking after his win he said: "I love riding my bike as much as ever", and it shows. Russell Downing, one of three Team Sky riders racing stated: "Rapha rode unbelievable today. They showed just what a professional outfit they are." Chapeau.

The Rapha Cycle Club London
The Rapha Cycle Club London opens on Saturday 21st July in the heart of Soho with a weekend-long celebration and screening of the final stages of the Tour. The flagship Cycle Club will be a meeting place for all cyclists and fans of road racing to watch the latest races, shop from the latest Rapha products including an exclusive Cycle Club collection, enjoy the finest coffee, food, a beer or two, free wifi and the best cycling literature. Film screenings, exhibitions, rare memorabilia and a party or two can also be guaranteed.
The Cycle Club in London opens following the success of pop-up shops in London and New York City in 2010, Mallorca in 2011 and 2012, San Francisco and Osaka from 2011 and two Mobile Cycle Clubs which are currently touring Europe and North America.
Simon Mottram, Rapha Founder, commented on the new Cycle Club: "We conceived the Rapha Cycle Club back in 2010 as the place we would most like to hang out to watch racing and share the love of the sport with others. We have now opened seven clubs around the world and have enjoyed meeting like-minded fans, watching the racing and consuming cycling culture, while being surrounded by beautiful things. We are excited to launch our flagship permanent cycle club in the centre of London. It is the ultimate Rapha experience."
Officially opening next Saturday, 21st July at 8:30 am, the Cycle Club will host full coverage of the final weekend of the Tour and, in the weeks following, the Olympic road racing. Over the next week a roving team of Rapha riders will be placing spoke cards in bike wheels around the capital. Find one and bring it to the Cycle Club to receive a complimentary coffee.

*?!#»! TOPS IN VALUES TOPS IN NEWS Vol. 1, No. 8 THE HILLTOPPER June 11, 1954 Page 1 Hundreds Attend Meeting On May 26, I along with hundreds of interested property owners of the neighborhood attended the meeting held at Manual Training High School by the zoning board. For the benefit of those who could not attend and are interested; Mr. W. F. Henninger, Planning Director, went to great length to quote from the Laws the legal right given the planning board to do the things they are doing. Anyone who is so uncertain of their own acts, that they go to the length he did to justify them, cannot be sure, in their own minds that they are morally right. When they showed a map of their plans I was happy to note that we in the neighborhood had a lot to be thankful for. The first map which was reproduced in the Hilltopper, allowed only two blocks on 17th Avenue, two blocks on 13th Avenue and the corner of 18th Avenue and Humboldt, as zoned for business. Now they have included most of the now developed business areas in the business zone. I would like to believe that the Hilltopper has had a small part in the change. However the map is changing daily and what will be the final plan only time will tell, but the Hilltopper will try to keep you informed. Howdy* TiRiqhbffi* Some men buy anti-knock for their automobiles when they should be taking the stuff themselves. Meet your good neighbor, Mrs Ruth Chambers, owner and manager of Ruth's Style Shop, located at 1769 Humbolt. Mrs. Chambers has lived in Denver since 1949. She has been at the above location since October of 1952. She lives in the neighborhood, and has four married children living in Denver. Having managed dress shops on East Colfax and South Broadway she has had much experience in the selection of quality merchandise that can be sold at reasonable prices. She stocks a large variety of ladies ready to wear and accessories in a wide range of colors and sizes. Having just received a large shipment of summer and fall merchandise including costume jewelry, she is staying open during June till 7:30 to give the Career Girl a chance to shop. See her ad for her special offer this month. Ogden Tickets Popular The great interest shown in the neighborhood for the passes to the Ogden Theater proves the large number of neighbors who read the Hilltopper and is indeed very flattering. In response to this demand we are increasing the number of tickets this week. Watch the ads for the neighbors who have them.

Keep one-sided views out of our schools
February 5, 2013 · 10:26 AM
Regarding a recent article in the Bellevue Reporter, the idea that a politician, any politician, can come into our public schools and have our children as a captive audience to push a one-sided political ideology and agenda disgusts me. No politician of any party should be able to do this, especially when it comes to restricting constitutional rights.
What if they were pushing restricting speech and expression because it is dangerous, how would you feel then? Schools are for learning facts, problem solving, logic and critical thinking, which politicians bring none of.
If this was to be discussed in schools then a two-sided debate would be the appropriate way so students could hear both sides of the argument and decide for themselves as well as maybe a quick lesson in the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the context in which our Founding Fathers came up with protecting these rights. Also, a lesson that rights are not granted by the government, the definition of right would clearly contradict that they are granted to us and can be taken away by anyone.
Where these students given a choice to attend or do something else? This makes me seriously reconsider if I want my kids to go to the public schools, I don't want them indoctrinated into any political ideology of any kind by anyone.
Justin Smith, Bellevue

ASU Accepts Invitation to GoDaddy.com Bowl
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: January 2, 2013
This is according to a press release sent by the University.
"I've coached in the GoDaddy.com Bowl twice and had a great experience both times," said ASU Head Football Coach Gus Malzahn.
"We're playing a top-25 team, and we're excited about the opportunity to play in the GoDaddy.com Bowl. Mobile is a football town -- they show up, support the bowl and do a great job with the way they treat the guests and players, so it's a great bowl."
The Red Wolves will make their second consecutive appearance in the GoDaddy.com Bowl and will play their ninth bowl game all-time.
This year's game will be the 14th edition of the GoDaddy.com Bowl, which was played for the first time in 1999.
"We are certainly excited about the opportunity to play in a first-class postseason game such as the GoDaddy.com Bowl," said ASU Chancellor Dr. Tim Hudson. "We are looking forward to completing what has been a very special season for our team and fans with
another great experience in the city of Mobile."
The Red Wolves capped off a 9-3 regular season Saturday with a 45-0 victory over a Middle Tennessee team that was receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll. A-State completed its Sun Belt title run with seven straight victories to finish 7-1 in the league.
Arkansas State, which has never finished ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation as an FBS member, is receiving votes in both major polls and is listed No. 34 and No. 37 in latest CBSSports.com 124 and BCS rankings, respectively. As an FBS program, the Red Wolves will also be looking for their first win ever against a top-25 ranked team when they face 25th-ranked Kent State.
Fans are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets only through the ASU Ticket Office to directly support the Red Wolves and to ensure they receive priority seating within the designated A-State area.
Bowl tickets are only $45 per ticket when purchased through the ASU Ticket Office. Fans can go to AStateRedWolves.com and click on 'Bowl Game Central' (bowl game link on the football page) to order tickets, and the ASU Ticket Office, located at the Convocation Center's lower red entrance, will be taking walk-up or telephone (870-972-ASU1) orders beginning Monday, Dec. 3, at 8:30 a.m. All fans who submitted early ticket reservations will receive order confirmation.
Special pricing is also available for students in the designated student zone when ordered through the ASU Ticket Office. Seating allocation will begin immediately and tickets purchased will be mailed out two weeks prior to the game.

"Our fans are familiar with the GoDaddy.com Bowl and the fantastic hospitality not only shown by (bowl president) Jerry Silverstein and his staff, but by the city of Mobile," said ASU Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir. "The game will also present our team with a fantastic opportunity to play a quality opponent ranked in the top 25 and to potentially end the season as a top-25 team for the first time as an FBS member. It is also my goal to bring the most fans ever to a GoDaddy.com Bowl, so we need the A-State Nation to buy all their tickets through the ASU Ticket Office. We want to paint the town scarlet and black."
A-State, the back-to-back Sun Belt champions, is making its third bowl appearance since its return as an FBS member in 1992. In addition to their GoDaddy.com Bowl appearance last season, the Red Wolves also played in the 2005 New Orleans Bowl.

The Sao Paulo Museum of Art Assis Chateubriant (MASP) is the most important museum of Western art not only in Brazil but also in Latin America. The museum's permanent exhibition has more than 8,000 artworks with innumerous works by some of the best known artists in the European canon – mostly Italian and French including Rafael, Mantegna, Botticelli, Delacroix, Renoir, Monet, Cezanne, Picasso, Modigliani, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Matisse, Chagall, Diego Rivera, Cândido Portinari, Di Cavalcanti, Anita Malfatti and Almeida Junior. It is possible to also appreciate photographs, drawings and sculptures by Degas, Rodin, Ernesto di Fior, Victor Brecheret. MASP is a member of the Musée D'Orsay's 19th-century club and in 1982 it was named a heritage site by the Historical Asset Defence Council of the state. This important museum was the first Brazilian museum to be recognised for the great historical importance of its collection. MASP's founder Pietro Maria Bardi managed it for many years, and only left the management post in 1996, three years before his death.
In addition to being an important tourist destination, for both national and international visitors, MASP is also a cultural centre offering different activities. These include the art school, the atelier, dance and music festivals, theatres, debates, lectures and courses for art teachers. It is the most visited museum in Sao Paulo with an average of 50,000 visitors per month (Folha de Sao Paulo, April 5, 2009).
However, in the last decade, the museum has faced some serious management problems that are directly affecting its financial situation. In 2004, a major Sao Paulo newspaper, Folha de Sao Paulo, released the first article to the wider public calling attention to the museum's situation.
Although MASP assets are valuated in US$1 billion, just the labour debt is more than US$2 million (…) MASP is facing a serious financial crisis.
How can an important museum like MASP be facing financial problems? Is nobody looking after the museum's interest? It is not a small art institution where people can pretend as though nothing is happening. It is the biggest museum in Latin America! There are many successful museums all over the world and those who are managing them have no secrets. A comparison of MASP with other museums brings to light the value of this important Brazilian institution.
The Sao Paulo Museum of Art Assis Chateubriant
Sao Paulo is the fourth biggest city in the world and the largest in South Hemisphere with 1,530 km² and more than 11 million people (CENSUS, 2010). As in all big cities, the metropolitan area also includes another 39 cities and more than 20 million people.
At the beginning of the 20th Century Sao Paulo experienced a massive population growth due to immigration, the development of industry and the improvement of the coffee economy. The need for leisure and free spaces immediately increased. As a result, parks, picnic areas, leisure societies, cinemas and theatres emerged (PIRES, 2001). The city has created various cultural spaces including the Sao Paulo Museum of Art Assis Chateubriand (MASP), the Sao Paulo Town Hall, the Museum of the Portuguese Language, the State Art Gallery, the Brazilian Art Museum, the Afro-Brazilian Museum, the Cultural Centre and the Modern Art Museum. In 1922, Sao Paulo hosted Modern Art Week, which featured important local artists such as Anita Malfatti, Mario de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade. At that time, it was not well understood by the population, but it was this event that afterwards raised cultural consciousness in the country and ultimately led to the creation of MASP. 18 years later, in 1940, journalist Assis Chateaubriand collaborated with art critic Pietro Maria Bardi to create an art museum with a brief of being revolutionary. The intention was to create not only a space to appreciate art, but also a centre to disseminate culture and art by teaching and by offering courses to the audience. Chateaubriand's intention was to create "a house of painting and sculpture to constitute the interest of our (Brazilian) people in arts" (BARDI, 1992). MASP was founded in this context, and opened on October 2nd 1947.
In 1983 a convention called First City and Culture was hosted in Sao Paulo to discuss the future of cultural spaces, as well as their fundraising issues. At that time MASP did not attend the forum for it was self-funded. The quality of its permanent collection meant that works rented to other countries, including Japan, were enough to maintain the institution. Unfortunately, the museum situation has since changed.
In 1995, the architect Julio Neves was elected the new president of MASP. His controversial management style included a US$12 million reform of the building from March 1996 to September 2001. In the first years of his management, he organised big exhibitions that attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors and inserted Brazil in the mega-exhibition circuit. The museum exhibited The Italian Art in Brazilian Collection in 1996, Monet and Michelangelo in Italian Art History in 1997 and Egypt – Gods' Land in 2001, which featured more than 120 pieces from Louvre's collection. This was the turning point.
The management of the museum did not realise that they were constructing a model that tended to concentrate on a visiting public and consequently began to only receive sponsorship for these blockbuster events. With no funds to compete with other institutions, there was a drop in the number of visitors. In 2004, Retrato de Camões, a painting from Portuguese artist José de Guimarães, was deaccessioned to pay a debt of US$1.8 millions. In 2006 the museum had its electricity cut due to another US$2 million debt — this time with the state electricity company. The museum crisis was growing and becoming a big problem with a difficult solution. In 2007, their debt was estimated to be US$6 million.
Museum Management
As with any private company, it is essential for museums to define strategies and products to be offered to customers. For Silberberg (1994), product quality perception, originality, customer service, sustainability, product perception, facilities, community engagement and support and management compromise are key factors to attracting visitors to museums or cultural attractions.
Analysing from Silberberg's perspective, MASP situation is not bad. Despite the crisis and the fact that there are no new acquisitions, MASP holds Latin America's biggest collection. The diversity of the works talk for themselves in terms of originality. Service to the client and the sustainability of the institution are points that can always be improved. Despite the problems that the museum is facing, the perception of the museum's artworks has not changed. The Museum's building was designed by Lina Bo Bardi, an Italian modernist architect. It is located in one of the city's most important financial avenues and it is the only construction in the world where the main body rests in four lateral pillars over a 74 meters freestanding space. The MASP problem is clearly related to the quality of its management.
Some Solutions for MASP
The most important museum in Latin America is facing some management shortcoming and solutions will be proposed here.
Firstly, MASP should hire a professional manager.
Good management is about vision. However, museum management is unique. According to Timothy Ambrose, "museums are for people" (1993). Besides possessing the usual qualities of a good manager, a museum manager should always keep that point in mind. When Elizabeth Ann Macgregor took up the Directorship of the Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in 1999, she knew she had to take the museum's work out to new audiences. She also knew that the MCA at that point was the only museum in Australia dedicated to contemporary art, so she used this knowledge to create a national profile for the space. Visitor attendance at the MCA increased to over 578,900 in 2010 and came out of a difficult financial position.
Tate Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York and the Guggenheim are managed by specialists in the field, executives and professional cultural fundraisers. Besides that, those institutions publish a public balance sheet annually.
Secondly, the marketing and advertising strategy should improve.
The museum should have its own brand product. MASP's souvenir shop only sells products with the exhibition content as notebooks, pencils and calendars. No products with the museum brand are sold. The Modern Museum of Art (MAM) has many MAM stores located in the biggest Shopping Malls of the city, selling designer and new artist works like necklaces, scarves and earrings.
Tourism has an important economic role in Sao Paulo. In 2009, 11.3 million people visited Sao Paulo, a 37.8% increase compared to 2004. Domestic tourists stay 3.3 days on average in the city and spend US$1,700 during that period. International tourists stay longer, 5.3 days and spend an average of US$2,400 in the same period. MASP is a major tourist point for both local and international visitors that stay in the city. Unfortunately, there are no incentive policies such as flyers or booklets in Portuguese, English or in any other language.
The museum could also think about making a cultural partnership or connections with other national or international institutions to promote art.
Thirdly, the museum should create groups to maintain the institution.
The Modern Museum of Art (MAM) has 1,000 members. The contribution varies from US$75 to US$5,000 per year and offers discounts in shops, restaurants and courses offered by the museum. In France there is a National Museum Group that manages funds for the acquisition and conservation of art collections at 34 museums and two exposition centres. This takes place under the supervision of the France Ministry of Culture. The tickets for the museums and the commercialisation of their brands guarantee the financial health of all institutions. In the United States, where the Government does not play such an important role in funding, the museums are maintained by the population. The MET in New York has more than 120,000 members that contribute from US$45 to US$20,000 per year. One successful case is Andrew Mellon from a banker's family. He donated 900 artworks to create the National Gallery in the 1930s and also started a group with some of his wealthy friends to help the gallery. Interestingly, another group was created from this first one — their wives, otherwise known as bored 'ladies who lunch', started volunteering as museum guides. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the MET in New York have some of the oldest guide programs. The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) in Sydney started theirs in 1972. In addition to guiding the public through the artworks, these ladies or their families may also become benefactors. Mollie Gowing, originally a guide, recently left a large bequest to AGNSW of almost 400 paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceramics and fibre works.
And lastly, MASP should be thought as a cultural space.
When it was founded, Chateaubriand's ideal was to create an integrated art space. Plenty of people visited MASP because of the courses of art history, photography, music and cinema. In the latest years those activities were almost abandoned. The museum has a great space and is located in the heart of Sao Paulo's commercial area and is currently not being cleverly used.
Again, none of the solutions proposed above are new. Being able to propose some viable solutions just emphasises that hiring the right professionals to manage the museum would improve this never ending nightmare. Despite all problems the museum is facing, in 2011, Indian Ambassador Fausto Godoy donated Asian art and crafts to MASP, placing the museum under the same category as the MET in New York. This might be the light in the end of the tunnel, or it might be an alert saying that such an important museum should not be facing such a sad situation.

LeukoplakiaIntroductionLeukoplakia is a white or gray patch that develops on the tongue or the inside of the cheek. It is the mouth's reaction to chronic irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth. Leukoplakia patches can also develop on the female genital area; however, the cause of this is unknown. The growth can occur at any time in your life, but it is most common in the elderly. "Hairy" leukoplakia of the mouth is an unusual form of leukoplakia that is seen only in people who are infected with HIV, have AIDS, or AIDS-related complex. It consists of fuzzy, hence the name "hairy," white patches on the tongue and less frequently elsewhere in the mouth. It may resemble thrush, an infection caused by the fungus Candida which, in adults, usually occurs if your immune system is not working properly, and may be one of the first signs of infection with the HIV virus. © 2005-2013 WebMD, LLC.

Explores a unique time in American history when the federal government organized and produced theater events in an effort to provide work for theater professionals who were out of work as a result of the Great Depression. The exhibition features materials from the Library's Federal Theatre Project Collection.
The Federal Theatre Project employed photographers in every major city who recorded performances, rehearsals, and images of performers and also captured behind-the-scenes work, stage sets, costumes, audiences, and theaters. Explore a sampling of the more than 9000 images.

National in scope but regional in emphasis, the FTP was composed of many different units in charge of stage presentations in specific geographic areas. Larger nationally overarching units were responsible for the general administration of a sizable federal bureaucracy, which employed more than 12,000 people within 150 regional administrative units that produced more than 2,700 stage productions.
National Director Hallie Flanagan (1890–1969) administered the FTP from Washington, D.C., under the oversight of Harry Hopkins (1890–1946), director of the Works Project Administration and one of President Roosevelt's closest advisers. The United States was divided into numerous theater regions that provided professional and technical direction for a nationwide program. The Federal Theatre Policy Board, which met every four months, decided on policies and selected plays and performances for the upcoming months. At the meetings, the regional directors presented reports from their state and local directors, allowing a pooling of local, state, and regional ideas.
Projects were set up in cities and towns in the majority of the states—Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and in Washington, D.C. Performances toured to virtually every corner of the nation—coast to coast—often traveling to rural areas where live theater was seldom seen, with some shows performed outdoors using portable stages.

In its four short years the FTP presented an extraordinarily varied fare. Performances ranged from productions of sacred plays of the Middle Ages to classic plays by William Shakespeare and Richard Brinsley Sheridan and modern works by George Bernard Shaw, Gerhard Hauptmann, Lillian Hellman, Eugene O'Neill, and Anita Loos. The FTP also premiered the work of writers who later achieved fame, such as Arthur Miller and Mary Chase, later author of the comedy classic Harvey. The FTP fostered the careers of lighting and set designers now important in American theater history and actors and directors, among them the legendary Orson Welles, John Houseman, Joseph Cotton, Arlene Francis, and Burt Lancaster.
National Director Hallie Flanagan had a strong interest in theater that kept abreast of social change. She fostered the genre known as "Living Newspapers," highly innovative stage productions inspired by headlines of the daily newspapers. These performances addressed social issues of significance such as housing (One-Third of a Nation), electrical power availability (Power), and public health (Spirochete).
The FTP managed numerous highly successful sub-projects, the most successful perhaps being its Negro Theatre Units, which employed African American actors, playwrights, directors, and craftspeople. In addition to performances that focused on social issues, these units produced novel creations of classic plays, such as an Orson Welles production of Macbeth—known as the "Voodoo" Macbeth—and a "swing" version of Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado. The Children's Theatre Units mounted highly popular productions, often with marionettes. The FTP production of Pinocchio was seen numerous times by Walt Disney and was the inspiration for his 1940 Academy Award-winning animated film classic. Many FTP units presented plays in languages other than English, including productions in Yiddish, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, and German. Read more about The Plays and the Players »

Influential far beyond the few years it lasted, the Federal Theatre Project stands as a watershed moment in the history of American culture. Prior to the FTP and its predecessor the CWA, federal funding for fine, literary, or performing arts was nonexistent, with funding coming from private sources. Suddenly, in 1933 the nation saw the entry of the federal government fully and directly into the arts. That the federal government did not merely provide financial support but ran the program directly was a revolutionary shift.
During its brief existence, the FTP managed to generate controversy with its productions aimed at delineating social and economic issues. A series of congressional hearings focused on its programming, costs, and apparent successes and failures of productions, and questioned its imputed communist influence. Although the FTP came to an abrupt end on June 30, 1939, with congressional removal of funding, in subsequent years the federal government played an increasingly vital role in the nation's cultural life. Over the years, the efforts to support the arts have included the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities (1965–1991) administered by the former Department of Health Education and Welfare, the founding of the National Endowment for the Arts in 1965, and indirect support in the form of the national cultural center, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which opened in 1971.
The Federal Theatre Project Collection, in relation to all of the performing arts collections at the Library of Congress, continues to attract some of the greatest interest among scholars, students, and artists. FTP has inspired recent documentary and feature films. Theatrical revivals of numerous FTP productions continue today, while notable works await rediscovery. The Federal Theatre Project remains exemplary of the lasting contribution of the federal government in the cultural life of the nation. Read more about Final Curtain: The Legacy »

Dear friends,
As you know I've had to pull away from forum frequency dedicating my time to organizational development of the instructor cadre and coaching staff, as well as the panoply of projects that RMAX has glutted me for 2005.
However, I've been keeping the lid on a major announcement until all of the papers were signed, sealed and delivered.
I've been contracted to star in a feature length motion picture called AGONY. Originally I was contacted to train the actor for the lead role since they wanted him dropping from 290 to 230lbs. In particular they want him training CST to drop down, since his character is a Clubbell® athlete in the movie. Yes, the entire Clubbell® line will have high visual placement in the film!
As it unfolded in the various interviews, they approached me to also choreograph the fight scenes (unarmed, knife, hangun and improv. weaponry).
However, through the preliminary discussions on choreography, they decided that in order to keep the "sexiness" of the choreography, they asked if I would be willing to star in the film itself, and modified the screen play to broaden the arch-nemisis' character development.
As it happens, through shifting around my schedule, I accepted the contract terms. This will be major exposure for CST, and really get the word out about our approach to physical culture.
Please understand that although not present like I used to be, I'm heavily involved in the proliferation of our system, as well as the ongoing research and development of our key RMAX product line. It pleases me to no end to come to the forum and see that the activity has not waned at all, and that you are all very active in the Socratic dialectic process of "Give Support - Get Support."
The first official movie trailer has been released!
Check it out at the official movie teaser:

Here is a second pass at the LOVE IS Theater Scene between Neil and Joe at ther Fall Formal 2011.
Thank you to everyone who voiced the creative thoughts on the first edit! They were are well recieved and I hope most are addressed.
So once again - what do you guys think of this edit, does it work?
This is an edit of wirrow's Give Me All The Flickering Lights. I originally thought the whole video should be one large flickering light but quickly learned that this poem is about a lot more. Or maybe it isn't...?
wirrow - I sincerely appreciate these words. thank you for sharing them.
Please listen with headphones and bump the volume - the edit is all in the audio with this one. This is the Intro Video that was played at "Hit RECord On Halloween" 2011. More campy than creepy but all in good fun. Any resource not listed here was taken from archive.org.
I put my headphones on about half way thru this edit and damn... it changed my life... This video was just a good oppertunity to have fun with the awesome visuals in Malicore's "Time Traveler" collaboration. Besides that - meaning is fleeting. :)
Tried to convey the vibe of what went on, the ideas that were put out, and some moments that happened. It's over 30 seconds but I think it'll do. Thanks to JeffPeff for some old fashion audio mixdown.

Making It Real
In February 2012, Adults and Communities, in partnership with the Service User-led Quality Board for Assessment and Support Planning, signed up to be part of the Think Local, Act Personal 'Making it Real' programme. This is a way of checking how well we are doing in offering support that is individual to the person and that they have choice and control over the care they receive.
Making it Real is based on statements developed by people who use services that express what people want to see and experience in adult social care services.
We have been working with people who use our services and carers to agree 3 'Making it Real' priority work areas which are based on the following 3 "I" statements:
1. Information and Advice:
"I have access to easy-to-understand information about care and support which is consistent, accurate, accessible and up to date".
2. Active and supportive communities:
"I have access to a range of support that helps me to live the life I want and remain a contributing member of my community".
3. Workforce:
"I have access to a pool of people, advice on how to employ them and the opportunity to get advice from my peers".
For more information, you can see our Making it Real action plan.
You can find out more about Making it Real and more information about what we have been doing here: http://www.thinklocalactpersonal.org.uk/Browse/mir/

5. | Ban Hammer | ||
Term meaning to "Ban" morons from forums and the like.
This particular variant is mainly used in Halo Forums, and only by the top Admins. Fictionally using a Gravity Hammer(from the Halo series) to beat/destroy/smite but Actually "Ban" from Halo related forums. The admin of the this site gave that idiot the Ban Hammer.. lol.
1. | Ban Hammer | ||
A ban hammer is an avatar depicting a club, used to threaten banishment by antisocial bullies who become moderators at forums & virtual communities. more...
Its an offensive picture used to intimidate people, by nazi-like creeps at forums who become mods or admins because they have no creative abilities, friends or respect for others; so they lurk about bullying & abusing people as a way of feeling superior & powerful in the community (when clearly they are most inferior as evidenced by their lack of useful abilities to contribute with otherwise) As in life, the antisocial, mean & dumb are the ones who go about abusing & threatening people to inflict rules...rules being useless constraints picked arbitrarily, not so much for the purpose of prohibiting an unwanted behavior, but more as an excuse to commit abusive acts to show "who's the boss of who" A "ban hammer" picture is designed to imply these bullies are to be feared. Bullies only know how to feel okay by making people scared of them. It gives them a weird dirty thrill. This is why they get excited by a picture of a hammer being used to violently destroy other people's stuff. This is why they like & use the "ban hammer" avatar. ------ Mods, banning, & report buttons are the things that ruin otherwise perfectly good fun, friends & being creative, at forums and virtual communities The ban hammer avatar symbolizes this kind of pointless interference and repression, which is valued only by bullies seeking excuses to exist. |

1. A term for the command line used to remove a person from a chatroom/forum/team.

The term 'using the ban hammer' is 'short' for banning someone, if you are an administrator or a moderator. It is more often used at forums. VocaloidsRule: Hey, have you heard? NinjasRAwesome used the ban hammer on Kailuvshisporn!
KakashiHatake: Oh, what did he do? VocaloidsRule: Post porn! Couldn't you guess from the name? |
4. | Ban Hammer | ||
A slang term substituted in for banning, or 'exiling' somebody from a chat channel. Also can be removed from other things, such as as a board, forum, team, etc; most often online.

Lol, that guy just got hit by the ban hammer! |

Paper made by the NGOs working together in the EU on the European biofuels policy. The Paper describes how the European biofuels policy will cause indirect land use change of a magnitude of 69 000 km2 of forests, wetlands and other ecosystems; an area twice the size of Belgium.
The indirect land use change will in turn lead to large emissions due to the loss of soil carbon and vegetation. A study conducted by IEEP uses the very conservative IPCC default figures and comes already to an emission of 56 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
This may be more with a proper calculation of the peatland emissions.

Written by PETA
It's been awhile since we last mentioned the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). But even though ONPRC hasn't been in our blog, it's been very much on our minds, and there are encouraging new developments to report.
For those of you who have hit-and-miss memories like mine, here's a quick recap: Our 2007 undercover investigation at ONPRC found that monkeys were tormented by laboratory staffers, forced to eat food out of waste-filled trays, denied medical care or pain relief, and driven mad by horrific laboratory conditions. Still, despite undeniable video evidence, the USDA somehow didn't see anything wrong at ONPRC.
At that point, ONPRC may have thought that it had won and that we would slink away. But, hey, this is PETA, after all, so think again, monkey abusers!
This past fall, we obtained new internal documents from ONPRC that detailed further abuse and neglect, so we submitted a new complaint to the USDA. In it, we outlined the following incidents:
Wow. Cold-hearted and inept—a deadly combination.
Based on our complaint, the USDA inspected ONPRC, and this time, it confirmed our allegations. So ONPRC was cited for three violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including causing monkeys trauma, stress, harm or discomfort and failing to adequately monitor and provide veterinary care to animals.
And the agency didn't stop there: In December, the USDA issued an "official warning" to ONPRC that it may face civil or criminal penalties if additional violations are found in the future.
It's a hopeful sign of progress, but we're hardly done with ONPRC. After all, these incidents are only a small part of the cruelty still being inflicted on the more than 4,000 primates there.

Airbending All airbenders of any skill level are capable of moving currents of air in close proximity to their bodies. Unlike other bending cultures, the intense ascetic lifestyle of the Air Nomads means that each and every child born to them learns to bend. At 1st level, Airbenders receive the Airbending class feature and may choose 1 heroic tier Airbending Trick. You may take additional tricks at 3rd, 6th and at 9th level.
Airbending Airbender Class Feature Your studies of the wind and air around you allow you to move it and compress it into a nearly solid state. At-Will * Elemental Minor Action Ranged 2 Effect: You create a gust of wind. The force of this technique is sufficient to push objects weighing less than a pound, clear a square of gas or smoke or snuff out a candle. You may also use it to dry an object of up to medium size.
Breath Deep Heroic Airbending Trick You can use your airbending to supplement your lungs, allowing you to hold your breath for longer. At-Will * Elemental Minor Action Personal Effect: You gain a +3 bonus to the next endurance check made to hold your breath made before the end of your next turn. Light as Air Heroic Airbending Trick Using upward currents of air, you make an object seem light than it is. At-Will * Elemental Minor Action Range 2 Effect: One object within range is considered to 25 lbs. lighter until the end of your next turn. Wind at Your Heels Heroic Airbending Trick The wind pushes at the backs of you and your allies, helping you walk long distances. Benefit: When calculating overland speed, the party uses your speed, rather than the slowest character's. Suck It Up Heroic Airbending Trick You have learned to pull the air from a nearby area and create a controlled vacuum. At-Will * ElementalMinor Action Range 2Effect: You create a vacuum which pulls air into it. This vacuum isn't strong enough to lift objects or completely remove air from any area, but it can be used to starve a fire or create suction sufficient to move a gallon of water through a closed system.
These are some basic tricks I thought of. It's a simple system that is designed to be homebrew compatible. Basically, you can creat gusts of wind, they aren't very strong, but you can eventually take tricks that let them be powerful in certain respects. My goal is to have a handful of tricks ranging from niche to generally powerful, none of which have particularly complicated abilities.Wind at Your Heels is cleary as powerful as a feat... so... I think that might just be a feat. What do people think? What are some other utility things an Airbender ought to be able to do?
I will return this evening to check in more completely, but for now allow me to present to you the
Airbending Airbender Class FeatureYour studies of the wind and air around you allow you to move it and compress it into a nearly solid state.At-Will * ElementalMinor Action Ranged 2Effect: You take control of the air and wind around you, performing any number of techniques as per your personal style of airbending. This ability is very open ended and you should feel encouraged to think of novel ways of utilizing your bending abilities outside of combat. Regardless of how you use it, this ability cannot be used to inflict damage or move an unwilling creature.
The effects of this ability can be generally divided into two categories:Force: You may use air to create up to 5 pounds of force. The maximum possible force increases to 15 pounds at 11th and 35 pounds at 21st level. Summoning: You may summon air or wind into an area 1 within range. This increases to area 3 at 11th level and area 5 at 21st level.The range at which you can use this ablity is increased to 4 at 11th level and 6 at 21st level.

Hi, All - I've purchased a cast iron clawfoot to put into my bathroom, but I'm a little worried about the flooring. Right now the joists are 2"x6", spaced 16", with a run of 15' Right now, I've planned to put the tub roughly in the middle of the joists, but since the room is gutted, I have to option of placing it closer to the wall. The subfloor itself is 3/4" plywood, with no finished floor on top - I just tore out the carpeting, so I have the option of starting fresh in this room. Is it recommended to install a few extra joists for support, or perhaps a support beam in the basement, or both? And is the plywood sufficient support for this tub, or should I provide a better base? Thank you for your help! | |||
that floor joisting sounds way, way light. you sure those aren't 2x8? 2x6 wouldn't hold up a baby in a bassinet. I am not a professional engineer. but I have been left with the impression that the minimum code span over 12 feet is 2x10. that should be sufficient for a one-person classic clawfoot and its typical 40 gallons of water at 16 pounds per gallon. I had to chase the numbers a bit when I redid our bathroom to include a whirlpool single tub, and it worked out. I heartily recommend, since you have the opportunity to open things up, calling city hall and asking the building inspectors what you need. I bet they will say you have to sister the joists, and perhaps double-sister them.This message has been edited. Last edited by: swschrad, sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
2x6 is too light for a 15' span. So would be 2x8. 2x10 16" OC is good for around 15' of normal load, but not for a large tub. Water is 8.65 pounds per gallon, a big tub will easily hold 100 gallons. The last cast iron clawfoot I installed was right around 500 lbs. Toss in a person and you are at 3/4 ton. Beef up the joists, add support from underneath, move the tub closer to the support walls - preferably all of the above. Jaybee | ||||
I checked the measurements again, just to be sure on everything. The joists are (you were right) 2"x8", but the run is 15' on those. All considered, I'm surprised the floor isn't more spongy, even when I jump on it. But then again, the joists aren't new - I'm guessing turn of the century or older, so they're a lot more sturdy. The house is an old workshop with no existing plumbing, and I'm working on making it a livable space. The clawfoot tub is one of the lighter ones (for an antique) and weighs roughly 250lbs, and it has a roughly 70 gallon capacity. Sounds like I need to:
Based on what I'm hearing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run a support beam under the center of the joists to provide extra support for the entire floor. Any suggestions on the subfloor? Is 3/4" plywood enough to support the weight of a clawfoot on those 4 claws? | ||||
The 3/4" subfloor with finished flooring on top of it will support the tub OK. You may see some sagging only if the feet are resting o a point that is in the middle of the 14-1/2" span between floor joists. If you can plan the tub location in advance, you could always add some solid blocking in the tub foot areas to avoid this. If the basement area underneath is unfinished then the easiest and cheapest way to really support the tub would be to add a few columns directly under the tub area. Even though 2x8's are too light for a 15' span, as you say the floor does not bounce now and they have been there for a long time - if you add some support directly underneath the tub then you will not have to do anything else to the rest of the floor framing. Jaybee | ||||
Are you jumping on it by yourself or is someone jumping while you are standing there.? Take and cut strips of 1" plywood about 1/8-1/4" narrower then the 2 x 8's, glue and nail the strips on both sides of the 2 x 8's making sure to stagger the joints by at least 2' - 4'. Install your joist ties, 2 per joist spaced equally. | ||||
I've had someone else come in to jump on the floor while I stand still, and vice versa. After a lot of consideration, we've decided to run a series of support beams under the entire house, so that the floor is split into sections with each run no longer than 8 feet. We have a lot of heavy antique furniture, and there's no sense taking risks just to save a few bucks and time. Additionally, we're going to give extra attention to the joists where the tub will sit, and sister those joists. And, finally, we've decided to go with a 3/4" plywood platform for the tub, so it can have extra support in the foot area, and we won't run the risk of it damaging the finished flooring that will be put in rest of the house. Thanks for all your help - it's been much appreciated! | ||||

Simply a great little snapshot of the funky jazz and soul period and the family of labels that generated so much of the most creative music to come from it! 14 tracks and nearly 80 minutes of grooves: Includes "Happy Music" by Blackbyrds, "Close To You" by Marlon McClain, "Let Me Love You (Let Me Be Me)" by Stanley Cowell, "Taj Mahal" by Paulinho Da Costa, "Nov Ano" by Azar Lawrence, "Moon Dreams" by Flora Purim, "Montevideo" by Opa, "Glide" by Pleasure, "Shout It Out" by Patrice Rushen, "If Only I Could Prove To You" by The 3 Pieces and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Recently I registered an app in http://stackapps.com/ to provide a way to authenticate users with their Stack Overflow account.
Then I noticed that https://stackexchange.com/oauth only works for users with a StackExchange account.
I didn't find a way to set the authentication for only users with a Stack Overflow account in the documentation site .
I've faced with this problem because I want to collaborate with the Django Social Auth project for allowing the authentication with Stack Overflow.
