The College Reads! Program Support Statements
I love reading. I am a book person. When I was handed a copy of "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien during my freshman orientation, they might as well have handed me a lifeline. I held something familiar in my hands, even though I was embarking on a new journey that had me scared witless. I had a book, I had some guidance of where to begin. I was required to read "The Things They Carried" in my english class first semester and I hated it. I didn't like O'Brien's style of writing and the plot did not seem relevant to me at the time. However, I learned about crafting an intelligent critique, literary analysis, and academic debate. Later on, when I worked orientation myself, I saw how many military veterans chose to attend CofC. It dawned on me that "The Things They Carried," a book about war and its personal repercussions, went beyond my personal understanding of the universe. That is why the College Reads! is so important--not only did it enrich my education from an academic perspective, but it continued to broaden my perspective of the world years later.

The College Reads program is an amazing opportunity for students to open their minds, not to condemn their beliefs. College is a time for exploration and to prevent students from learning all that they can is wrong.
Chris Pennebaker '15
College of Charleston Student
College of Charleston Student Government Association
Presented by Deputy Chief of Staff Danielle Stout, Chairperson Brendan Geiling and Senator Emily Torchiana of the College of Charleston Student Government Association
On this Twenty-Fifth Day of February, 2014
Purpose: To express support for the restoration of funds to the College of Charleston budget by the South Carolina legislature for the College Reads program
Whereas: The College Reads program provides a valuable learning experience for all members of the campus community.
Whereas: This program encourages discussion and critical thinking consistent with our strong liberal arts curriculum.
Whereas: The College of Charleston strives to be a diverse and welcoming campus for all people, regardless of their differences.
Whereas: Participation in this program is only encouraged and not required for all students.
Whereas: The College of Charleston has the right to exercise academic freedom and should be able to provide an all-encompassing curriculum to its students.
Therefore: BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION IN REGULAR SESSION ASSEMBLED, THE FOLLOWING:
Section I: The Student Government Association of the College of Charleston calls for the South Carolina General Assembly to restore the $52,000 in funding cut from the budget of the College of Charleston and respect the academic freedom of institutions of higher education.
Section II: THIS RESOLUTION SHALL TAKE EFFECT (UPON PASSAGE) BY THE STUDENT SENATE SITTING IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND THE SIGNATURE OF THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT.
President Jordan Hensley
I am an RA on campus, and I work in a freshmen residence hall. These students come into the college from extremely diverse backgrounds. It's so important for freshmen to have exposure to controversial topics. I have been up late at night with a resident who was too scared to go into her own bedroom because of the harassment she faced from her roommate. I have heard a personal account from a gender queer student who was aggressively harassed on King Street by another college-aged person. The College Reads! program offers an academic platform for discussion about controversial topics. Without discussion, we are depriving our students of a crucial part of social education, and we are not providing a safe environment for our LGBTQ students if we exclude that community from the diversity conversation.

I am a College of Charleston student. I think that the college reads program is an excellent way for incoming freshman to begin their experience at the College, and I was genuinely upset reading the article in the post and courier regarding the 'controversial' text Fun Home which was assigned to the incoming freshman class of 2013. The College prides itself on being a quality liberal arts institution, and with that title comes the responsibility of accepting and promoting the differences which exist between all of the individuals who make up the student population. It is 2014, and we are living in the United States of America. This sort of backlash is detrimental to the success of our school and our students. The LGBTQ community has made great strides in overcoming their persecution over the last 10 years, but it seems as though the state of South Carolina would like to continue living in the past, in an intolerant world. Bechdel's novel is an amazing tribute not only to the struggles faced by the gay community, but to the struggles faced by adolescents as a collective group. The 'explicit' content is merely her way of expressing what it was like for her to assume her identity as a gay woman, while also dealing with her feelings of isolation, difference, and parental estrangement. College of Charleston should be proud to present their students with a text that fosters such a strong sense of acceptance to those individuals facing the everyday struggles of being 'different' than the norm, and it would be reprehensible to do away with a program which fosters reading, open discussion, and a collective closeness for the incoming freshman students. We, as a college, do not stand for the persecution of our students because of their differences, and thus should not stand for the persecution of the materials we choose to present to them either.
Thank you,
Catherine Mueller
I am a College of Charleston student and wanted to write to you to demonstrate my support for the college reads program. Frankly I am tired of the government getting involved in programs they have no power to get involved in. The government is not allowed to tell people what to read and not read. We are no longer suppose to be living in a theocracy, if the government is going to act like we are then maybe they should re-familiarize themselves with the rules they are actually suppose to be enforcing.
As for the debate on whether the book is "promoting" the gay and lesbian lifestyle. You have got to be kidding me. It saddens me that a group of people who are suppose to be intelligent and able to think critically believe such a ridiculous story. Honestly I bet you they have not even deigned to read the book themselves. I, on the other hand have read the book, and I can assure you that my sexuality was not influenced by it. In my discussions with the freshmen students I teach, all of them found the controversy of the book to be insulting to their intelligence and to the reality of the world we live in. There were no discussions on homosexuality being disgusting or wrong, in fact, there was an open attitude towards whatever sexuality people chose and irritation that in this day and age "old people" are still bothering them with their "close minded beliefs" (not my words, this was the conclusion my class came to). The book offers a different view of homosexuality than the views of what the government tries to shove down our throats. It is not the college that is trying to promote any belief, it is the government.
Regardless of your views of the morality of homosexuality, the book offers freshmen a chance to understand the view of someone who may have a completely different background then themselves. I hope that the government does not get away with blackmailing the college into teaching the dated and irrelevant beliefs of ignorance without any other perspectives. They are only continuing to support policies that make people lose respect for our government system and show that they are out of touch with the people they should be representing. Our government should be an advocate for learning not a bully. Our country will never become strong again with such repressive stances.
Blake Wright
This statement is in response to the recent disagreements with the College Reads Program over their past year's choice of Fun Home. As a College of Charlston student, I felt it was appropriate. Further, the classroom discussion reached a level of productivity that reflected the ability of the students to handle the topic at hand. I hope there is enough publicity of this disagreement as to extend the discussion of the classroom into the community, and further the state.
Tim Lennon
I have been privileged in receiving not just an education at the College of Charleston, but wisdom. Now, as I am nearing graduation, I have been reflecting on my experiences here and how I have grown as a person.
Every semester since my enrollment at the College, I have noticed major changes in myself and in my beliefs. I have been able to connect many different topics from all of my courses into real-world situations. This has allowed me to find solutions to issues I would not have been able to conquer before. Growth is a wonderful thing, it is the process by which we move forward as individuals and as a species. Growth is hard. Sometimes (in the face of conflicting evidence) you have to change the way you think about an issue. In this, we are better able to face the challenges impacting our society. This is quite possibly the most important skill taught in higher education: to question ourselves and our intentions so we can strive to be a better version of ourselves. Knowledge by itself does little for us if it isn't applied. Knowledge applied to life becomes wisdom.
You can share any knowledge with students that you want, but it's what the students do with the knowledge that is important. Reading Fun Home and other controversial books opens students to views and thoughts that they might not otherwise be exposed to. College is an environment where beliefs SHOULD be questioned. If they aren't then the institution of higher education is not imparting it's students with the tools to succeed in the future. The information is there for all students. In the end it's up to them what they do with it. The College is in no way forcing a belief on students. In fact the main thing college does is question beliefs so that students may think (and find the answers) for themselves. This is the mark of receiving a true education and it would sadden me to see our local government block funds to the College because it was doing it's job.
In closing, growth can be hard. We may fight it tooth and nail, but it needn't be so. Growth requires change, it require us as human beings, to go inside of ourselves and question our beliefs with the information we receive. If the information is compelling then beliefs can change and evolve, leading to a greater understanding of oneself and one's place in the world. Knowledge is a good thing, even if it's knowledge about issues we don't agree with. Like College of Charleston's seal states, "Sapientia ipsa Libertas." Knowledge itself is Liberty. By cancelling the funding for the College Reads! program, the state is taking away the liberty of those it claims to serve.
Evan Reinhold '14
The College Reads! program is an essential part of the College of Charleston's First Year Experience courses. As a former classroom facilitator, these books helped initiate important, meaningful dialogue about diversity and college life. While some of the students may not have agreed with all of the content, they were all excited to participate in conversations about it. Because of these books, students were exposed to an entirely new perspective and learned how to respectfully discuss their own beliefs and opinions with one another. This program enriches the students' experiences; to say it does more harm than good is simply false. I have been in these classrooms. I have facilitated these discussions. Taking this program away robs students of an important and empowering opportunity to see the world in a new light.

By Donald W. Black, M.D.
It may be hard to believe, but one of the most common and problematic mental disorders is ignored by the public and media alike. People — and reporters — breathlessly talk about depression, substance abuse and autism, but no one ever talks about antisocial personality disorder. Why?
Though better known as sociopathy, antisocial personality disorder, or ASP, affects up to 8½ million Americans and there is no cure, nor are there any good treatments. Psychiatrists like me who are interested in this disorder tend to be ignored and our concerns marginalized. The patients themselves can be difficult, and even unpleasant, and that limits interest. It is hard for people to be sympathetic toward those who tend not to arouse our concern. There are no poster children to point to.
Few mental health professionals are interested in the disorder and some run when a colleague tries to refer an antisocial patient to them. ASP is rarely discussed in medical schools, and few researchers take it on as a cause. Most telling, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the government's premier medical research organization, funds a grand total of two projects in which the term "antisocial" appears in the title. By contrast, the NIH funds hundreds if not thousands of studies on more conventional mental health topics such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, and autism. How are we — as mental health professionals — to make headway in treating and preventing this disorder when the government does not lead the way?
First, let us consider what ASP is. Briefly, it is a disorder of chronic or serial misbehavior that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood, usually persisting throughout a person's life. These are the rule breakers who see fit to violate society's conventions. As children they fight with others, lie to their parents, and steal from the corner store. As adults, they abuse their partners or spouses, are irresponsible toward their children, and some are criminal. In the worst cases, some commit heinous acts of violence. Few of its sufferers are women, as it is predominately a man's disorder. And sufferer is not the right word, because most antisocial persons do not "suffer" in the usual sense since they rarely believe anything is wrong. Their behavior is not the problem; society and its tiresome rules are the problem.
How did we arrive at this point? First, there is the lack of visibility. ASP is not on the public's radar screen. While known to psychiatrists and psychologists for nearly 200 years in one form or another, few mental health professionals bother to make the diagnosis or to even make referrals for its evaluation or treatment. The public misunderstands the term antisocial, believing the disorder to relate to shyness, when it really relates to bad behavior directed against society. Finally, researchers tend to go where the money is. Since the NIH directs few funds to investigate ASP, why would an investigator study it? Take autism as an example. The amount of research exploded within the last decade when it became clear that the government was interested in the disorder. That could happen with ASP if the NIH changed its tune. Despite this deliberate indifference, over the past 50 years researchers have — mostly on their own time and money — consistently shown it to be one of the most heritable of disorders and to have a clear neurobiological basis.
Why should I and others care? Though under the radar, ASP isn't going anywhere. It will continue — over time — to cost us billions and billions though its direct and indirect costs associated with law enforcement and criminal justice. Nearly all of us are victims of an antisocial person's misdeeds; we fear them and even grapple with the disorder in our families. Now more than ever, psychiatry and society have the means to explore why some people turn bad, but progress will continue to accrue slowly until we begin to see ASP more clearly and commit ourselves to doing something about it.
Understanding the scope of ASP and coming to grips with it requires time and money. The NIH and other agencies must change their tune about funding ASP research and its many facets, particularly crime and violence. Priorities should include wide-reaching projects to explore its origins and search for methods to change its course. Geneticists must continue to investigate genes that might predispose individuals to ASP and determine how they function. Neuroscientists should work to pinpoint brain regions linked to antisocial behavior while identifying the neurophysiological pathways that influence its expression. Mental health professionals must overcome their own resistance to working with antisocial persons in order to develop new treatments. Last, we must focus attention on the group at highest risk of developing ASP: children with antisocial behavior. Improved understanding of their home life and social environment may lead to more effective interventions that may prevent ASP from developing. By treating and possibly preventing ASP, we can have a broad impact that ripples through society, thereby helping to reduce spousal abuse, family violence, and criminal behavior.

Conshohocken-based Saladworks, the nation's first and largest fresh-tossed salad restaurant chain today announced that New York-based Centre Lane Partners LLC has made an investment in the company. In addition, the private investment firm has committed to investing substantial capital to accelerate the company's growth nationwide, with a strategic focus along the I-95 corridor. Centre Lane's investment portfolio includes leading middle market companies in industries ranging from packaging, to consumer products manufacturing, franchising and global aviation services.
Saladworks President Paul Steck has been promoted to the position of President/CEO, expanding his company leadership responsibilities. Steck has been with Saladworks for more than 12 years and is a well-known and respected executive in the industry. Saladworks is preparing for growth with such initiatives as new store design, menu enhancement and an increase in support to its franchisees. To support these objectives and its franchisees, Saladworks plans to increase staff in the home office by more than 40 percent over a six-month period.
"We're proud to be affiliated with Centre Lane, a private equity firm known for aligning itself with businesses that hold the lead market positions in their categories and offer strong growth potential," said Steck, President and CEO, Saladworks. "Moreover, we're excited about what their support and investment means in terms of growth of the brand, expanded product and service offerings to our customers and additional support to our franchisees."
The acquisition follows a four-month search for a buyer after Saladworks filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in February 2015. Saladworks' customers and franchisees were not affected by the filing, as all 108 Saladworks' restaurant locations in the U.S.,Canada, Dubai and Singapore remained opened throughout this process. Saladworks remains the leader in the made to order, entree sized salad category with a health conscious consumer base that lends itself to a fast casual atmosphere.
"Saladworks was the creator of the fresh-tossed salad restaurant concept and from the beginning has been committed to offering consumers an exciting dining option that had previously been unavailable – fresh, fast and convenient food offerings that fit today's healthier lifestyles," said Mayank Singh, Managing Director, Centre Lane Partners. "For us, this type of focus and commitment is the hallmark of a wise business investment and we look forward to partnering with Saladworks to support the company's growth and success."
"It's clear to us that Centre Lane recognizes both the current value of our brand and also has the vision to imagine its future potential. We're incredibly excited about what lies ahead," concluded Steck.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, something goes wrong on Election Day. It is important to understand that you have rights and options.
What kinds of problems do I mean?
✦ You show up to your polling place but your name isn't on the voter roll.
✦ Your ID is being challenged by a poll worker.
✦ A poll worker is disputing your eligibility to vote.
✦ You changed your name or address but the voter registration information doesn't match the change.
In these instances, you should be give the opportunity to cast a provisional ballot, sometimes referred to as challenge ballot or affidavit ballot. The reason is that you shouldn't be barred from voting because of some clerical or administrative error. How each state treats their provisional ballot is a bit different, but essentially, you'll have an opportunity to confirm your eligibility right after the election and then your vote will be counted.
Key point: You have a legal right to cast a provisional ballot, which is granted to you by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA).
So, with that in mind, if you have any of the aforementioned problems, this is what you need to do:
1. Make sure you're at the right polling location.
2. Ask to cast a provisional ballot. If the poll worker gives you any grief, remind them that they are required BY LAW to give you one.
3. Vote.
4. Get a receipt for the provisional ballot you turn in.
5. Find out what follow up steps you need to take.
Every state treats provisional ballots a bit differently, and the steps you need to take to follow up on your provisional ballot may be different. Make sure you understand what they are. Get that information before you leave the polling location.
HAVA also requires that the state tell you whether or not your provisional ballot ultimately was counted. When you get the information about how you need to follow up on your provisional ballot (i.e. what proof of residence you may need to produce, etc.), you should also find out how you can check if you ballot was counted or rejected.
If in the end, a poll worker denies you the ability to cast a provisional ballot, call the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.
Note: There are a few states that don't have provisional ballots only because they offer same-day registration. In those states, you may be directed to register and then vote.
For more information about state specific provisional ballot information, visit the NCSL's Provisional Ballot information page.

Playing Slow and Patiently in Poker Pays Off
We live in a world where we have to be fast paced if we want to handle everything on time and this can be quite tiring. And that is why many poker players too play the game so fast that they end up ruining it. Poker is a game that requires a lot of thinking and patience.There are plenty of books and guides that provide instructions, guides and strategies for playing poker but when we read them we do not read through it properly enough to grasp the actual meaning, we just skim through it too fast. We do not take the time to actually take the time to really learn. We need to slow down and absorb the true meaning of what we read and what we learn. We should be taking notes and highlighting the basic learning. If you really want to be successful at poker you should be taking it as a formal education class and studying it meticulously.
Recently, a person was playing at an online single table. He got a two pair on the flop and he put in a bet and got called by two players. The card at the turn was scary because it could mean a possible flush. The person made a fast move and he lost his entire stack to an opponent who had an ace high flush. And without even blinking an eye he straightaway went in to play another game. And that game was a slot machine. There are lots of slots games that are offered online and casinos for ios and android. However, you can always find a place which will offer you the highest payouts and the most attractive bonuses. The slots are so much easy and very quick which means that you are able to earn millions within the shortest time and without any strains.
Be considerable
The point here is that the first wrong move he made was that though two opponents called and even though there was a flush draw at the flow, he still went ahead and played the game. He did not really think about what he was doing. And on top of that when he lost he just shifted to another game in a flash of a second.
In fact, the person believed that shifting to another game quickly enough helped him from tilting after he had bad losses. What was wrong here is that from leaving a table too quickly and entering another one quickly he wouldn't have any time to learn from his own mistakes. He shifted his focus too quick so he would not be able to evaluate how his past performance was. He did not think of how he should be improving his play to not make the same mistake again. If we do not really slow down than we would never be able to learn, we would keep on repeating the same mistakes again and again.
Poker is a slow game; you would not be able to learn it in a month or even a year. To be a real master at the game you would have to dedicate your life to it. If you keep on learning from your every hand, then you can definitely improve. You should never have the intention of learning the game as fast as you can. You should in fact be ready to actually dedicate as much time as it would take to truly understand the teachings and strategies. Even while playing, you should never be in a hurry.
If you be patient and give enough thought to your hands and if you evaluate your play critically then you would be able to spot and correct your mistakes. Slowing down has its benefits.

Bakit nga ba marami sa ating Pilipino ang pinipiling lumisan ng bansa? Isa lang naman ang sagot d'yan – upang kumita ng perang sadyang mas malaki kumpara sa kinikita dito sa Pinas. Sino nga ba namang tatanggi sa oportunidad na ito kung dito nakasalalay ang magandang buhay at kinabukasan ng maiiwang pamilya?
Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) – wala man ang bawat pangalan nila sa history books o superhero comic books, whether they save a thousand or a single person's life, or help their fellow directly or indirectly, sila ang itinuturing na "Modern-Day Heroes". Isa na d'yan si Ms. Myrna Padilla.
Si Ms. Myrna ay panganay na anak ng isang mangingisda sa Bohol, habang ang nanay niya ay mula naman sa Mindanao. Sa murang edad na sampung taon, nagtrabaho na siya bilang kasambahay kasabay ng kanyang pag-aaral sa elementarya.
Sa kasamaang palad, hindi nakatapos ng High School si Ms. Myrna kaya't nang taong 1988, nakipagsapalaran siyang mangibang bansa para mamasukan bilang Domestic Helper. For almost 20 years, siya ay nagpalipat-lipat sa Singapore, Taiwan, at Hong Kong. She also founded OFW-centered organizations, served the OFW community, and won dozens of awards and certificate of appreciation for her work with OFWs and her
accomplishments in business.
In the year 2006, nagdecide si Ms. Myrna na umuwi na sa Pinas for good to focus on Mynd Consulting, an IT-BPO business which she established using money she had saved from her long service pay. Interestingly, Myrna learned and mastered everything she has to know about the IT-BPO industry thru her own experiences and discoveries from being an OFW.
That being said, Myrna is definitely an epitome of a successful OFW, the one we should be inspired from. Kaya naman our BeamerKada could not have any better guest speaker for BeamAndGo's Friday program other than Ms. Myrna Padilla, to tackle about the stages of Buhay OFW.
STAGE 1. Ang Paglisan
For first time OFWs, walang hirap ang hihigit sa pag-iwan sa pamilya at sa sariling bayan para mag-trabaho sa ibang bansa.
In terms of the challenges our OFWs face when deciding to work abroad, Ms. Myrna enumerated three key factors:
- Homesickness – Fighting the anxiety of being away from your family.
- Problems with employer – Struggling how to continue working despite maltreatment.
- Communicating your plans to your family back home.
To know more of Ms. Myrna's advice to first time OFWs, watch the first episode of Buhay OFW Special here:
STAGE 2. Hanggang Kailan?
Ang tanong na malamang lahat ng ating mga Kabayan ay naitanong na sa sarili – hanggang kailan ba ako magiging OFW?
Ms. Myrna also wanted the OFWs to take note of the three (3) motivators when you are at your lowest point: 1. Hope for success, 2. Faith in God and in yourself, and 3. Love for yourself and your family.
To find out what Ms. Myrna has to say on how to guide your children as they grow even when you're miles away, watch the second episode of Buhay OFW Special here:
STAGE 3. Uwian na, Kabayan!
All OFWs look forward to that day when they can finally come home for good – hindi dahil sa biglaang pagdedesisyon na umuwi ngunit kalaunan ay mangingibang bansang muli dahil hindi pa pala sapat ang naiipon.
Kaya naman Kabayan, kung nasa abroad ka pa at nagpa-plano ka nang umuwi ng Pinas, make sure to ask yourselves first:
- What do I have to secure before deciding to come home?
- What should I expect in terms of familial relationship once I come home?
- How should I handle finances and savings I earned?
Lastly, when can you say that you're completely ready to come home? Of course, hindi pare-pareho ang sagot ng bawat OFW dito bilang may kanya-kanyang consideration sila. But what does Ms. Myrna has to say about this? Alamin ang tips niya sa third episode of Buhay OFW Special. Panoorin dito:
We hope this Buhay OFW series became useful for you until you reach the point in your OFW life that you have to prepare for your homecoming. Hindi ka pa man nakakauwi, Kabayan, tandaang hindi natatapos ang pagsubok sa buhay sa pag-uwi lamang. It may be the happiest moment for OFWs' lives, but know that you will be facing entirely new challenges back home – and you will be able to handle this smoothly.
Ano mang plano mo pag-uwi, always remember: Napakaraming aral at karanasan ang naituro sa iyo ng pagiging OFW. Gamitin mo ito patungo sa iyong tagumpay!
BONUS: Paano ko mase-secure ang pangangailangan ng pamilya kahit na nasa malayo ako?

Tiger 112 of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 501 in Tunisia
Panzerkampfwagen VI ausf E Tiger turmnummer (turret number) 112 of Schwere Panzer Abteliung (Heavy Tank Battalion) 501, 1.Kompanie, 1.Zug (Platoon), second vehicle, on a road march in Tunisia. The tank is fitted with combat tracks so it is close to the front, but since the protective cover is on the muzzle brake, it is not expecting action. This tank, Fahrgestell (Hull Number) 250012, was the eleventh production Tiger delivered in October 1942 and has the original gun mantlet, commander's cupola and sectional track guards. The headlights have ben moved from the top of the chassis to mountings on the front hull. Schwere Panzer 501 was ordered by Reichsklanzer (Reichchancellor) Adolf Hitler to join General Erwin Rommel's Panzer Armee Afrika in Tunisia as a response to the Allied Operation Torch, the landings in Morocco and Algeria on November 8, 1942. The Germans were able to move Panzer Abteilung 501 unmolested by sea or air from Italy to Tunisia. Tiger 112 was the third of three heavy tanks to be unloaded in Bizerte on November 23. Hauptmann (Captain) Nikolai Freiherr ("Free Lord" translated as Baron) von Nolde was the Battalion Commander. He was famous in the Battalion for wearing tennis shoes in combat. The Battalion also had Panzer III ausf N (with a short-barrelled 75mm gun) for reconnaissance and to suppress infantry. The first combat action for tiger 112 was on December 1, when the three Tigers and four Panzer IIIs engaged British forces in Tebourba; Von Nolde was killed when his legs were torn away by an anti-tank round, his tennis shoes with them. Oberleutnant Deichmann took over but was soon killed by a British sniper. The American 1st Armored Division, supporting the British 2,000 yards (1828 meters) away at Djedeida, lost nine tanks. Tebourba was captured on December 4 when the Germans employed Junkers Stuka diver bombers in a supporting role. In early January 1943, eight Tigers of 2.Kompanie, which were employed in the occupation of Vichy France, are landed in Tunisia. The Battalion participated in the Battles around Kasserine Pass in February 1943. On March 17, 1943, the remaining eleven Tigers were transferred to the newly arrived Schwere Panzer Abteilung 504. The fate of Tiger 112 is confusing; it survived until Abteilung 504 took it over, where it received a new turmnummer. Parts of the Tiger were used to repair Fahrgestell 250031 after the surrender of all Axis forces in North Africa on May 12. Tiger 250031 was shipped to Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and decades later to England and Sinsheim Technical Museum in Germany before returning to the United States. 250031 is often incorrectly labeled as 250012 because of serial numbers on parts from that Tiger I.

6. Antimarket Ethics: A Praxeological Critique > Appendix: Professor Oliver on Socioeconomic Goals
A. The Attack on Natural Liberty
Oliver begins by turning his guns on the natural-rights defense of laissez faire—on the system of natural liberty.32 He is worried because Americans still seem to cling to this doctrine in underlying theory, if not in actual practice. First, he sets forth various versions of the libertarian position, including the "extreme" version, "A man has a right to do what he will with his own," as well as Spencer's Law of Equal Freedom and the "semi-utilitarian" position that "a man is free to do as he pleases as long as he does not harm someone." The "semiutilitarian" position is easiest to attack, and Oliver has no difficulty in showing its vagueness. "Harm" can be interpreted to cover practically all actions, e.g., a hater of the color red can argue that someone else inflicts "aesthetic harm" upon him by wearing a red coat.
Characteristically, Oliver has least patience with the "extreme" version, which, he contends, is "not meant to be interpreted literally," not a seriously reasoned statement, etc. This enables him to shift quickly to attacks on the modified and weaker versions of libertarianism. Yet it is a serious statement and must be coped with seriously, especially if "A" is replaced by "Every" in the sentence. To o often political debate has been short-circuited by someone's blithe comment that "you can't really be serious!" We have seen above that Spencer's Law of Equal Freedom is really a redundant version of the "extreme" statement and that the first part implies the proviso clause. The "extreme" statement permits a more clear-cut presentation, avoiding many of the interpretative pitfalls of the watered-down version.
Let us now turn to Oliver's general criticisms of the libertarian position. Conceding that it has "great superficial attractiveness," Oliver levels a series of criticisms that are supposed to demonstrate its illogic:
(1) Any demarcation of property "restricts liberty," i.e., the liberty of others to use these resources. This criticism misuses the term "liberty." Obviously, any property right infringes on others' "freedom to steal." But we do not even need property rights to establish this "limitation"; the existence of another person, under a regime of liberty, restricts the "liberty" of others to assault him. Yet, by definition, liberty cannot be restricted thereby, because liberty is defined as freedom to control what one owns without molestation by others. "Freedom to steal or assault" would permit someone—the victim of stealth or assault—to be forcibly or fraudulently deprived of his person or property and would therefore violate the clause of total liberty: that every man be free to do what he wills with his own. Doing what one wills with someone else's own impairs the other person's liberty.
(2) A more important criticism in Oliver's eyes is that natural rights connote a concept of property as consisting in "things" and that such a concept eliminates property in intangible "rights." Oliver holds that if property is defined as a bundle of things, then all property in rights, such as stocks and bonds, would have to be eliminated; whereas if property is defined as "rights," insoluble problems arise of defining rights apart from current legal custom. Furthermore, property in "rights" divorced from "things" allows non-laissez-faire rights to crop up, such as "rights in jobs," etc. This is Oliver's primary criticism.
This point is a completely fallacious one. Although property is certainly a bundle of physical things, there is no dichotomy between things and rights; in fact, "rights" are simply rights to things. A share in an oil company is not an intangible floating "right"; it is a certificate of aliquot ownership in the physical property of the oil company. Similarly, a bond is directly a claim to ownership of a certain amount of money and, in the final analysis, is an aliquot ownership in the company's physical property. "Rights" (except for grants of monopolistic privilege, which would be eliminated in the free society) are simply divisible reflections of physical property.
(3) Oliver tries to demonstrate that the libertarian position, however phrased, does not necessarily lead to laissez faire. As we have indicated, he does this by skipping quickly over the "extreme" position and concentrating his attack on the unquestionable weaknesses of some of the more qualified formulations. The "harm" clause of the semiutilitarians is justly criticized. Spencer's Law of Equal Freedom is attacked for its proviso clause and for the alleged vagueness of the phrase "infringes on the equal freedom of others." Actually, as we have seen, this proviso is unnecessary and could well be eliminated. Even so, Oliver does considerably less than justice to the Spencerian position. He sets up alternative straw-man definitions of "infringement" and shows that none of these alternatives leads to strict laissez faire. A more thorough search would easily have yielded Oliver the proper definition. Of the five alternative definitions he offers, the first simply defines infringement as "violation of the customary legal code"—a question-begging definition that no rational libertarian would employ. Basing his argument necessarily on principle, the libertarian must fashion his standard by means of reason and cannot simply adopt existing legal custom.
Oliver's fourth and fifth definitions—"exercise of control in any form over another person's satisfaction or deeds"—are so vague and so question-begging in the use of the word "control" that no libertarian would ever use them. This leaves the second and third definitions of "infringement," in which Oliver manages to skirt any reasonable solution to the problem. The former defines "infringement" as "direct physical interference with another man's control of his person and owned things"; and the latter, as "direct physical interference plus interference in the form of threat of injury." But the former apparently excludes fraud, while the latter not only excludes fraud, but also includes threats to compete with someone else, etc. Since neither definition implies a laissez-faire system, Oliver quickly gives up the task and concludes that the term "infringement" is hopelessly vague and cannot be used to deduce the laissez-faire concept of freedom, and therefore that laissez faire needs a special, additional ethical assumption aside from the basic libertarian postulate.
Yet a proper definition of "infringement" can be found in order to arrive at a laissez-faire conclusion. The vague, question-begging term "injury" must not be used. Instead, infringement can be defined as "direct physical interference with another man's person or property, or the threat of such physical interference." Contrary to Oliver's assumption, fraud is included in the category of "direct physical interference," for such interference means not only the direct use of armed violence, but also such acts as trespass and burglary without use of a weapon. In both cases, "violence" has been done to someone else's property by physically molesting it. Fraud is implicit theft, because fraud entails the physical appropriation of someone else's property under false pretenses, i.e., in exchange for something that is never delivered. In both cases, someone's property is taken from him without his consent.
Where there's a will there's a way, and thus we see that it is quite easy to define the Spencerian formula clearly enough so that laissez faire and only laissez faire follows from it. The important point to remember is never to use such vague expressions as "injury," "harm," or "control," but specific terms, such as "physical interference" or "threats of physical violence."

A frosty Sam Adams Octoberfest Ale is sitting on my desk as I write this. It is tasting pretty sweet after one of the best days of the college football season. Consider the following:
- Indiana continued its fall from an almost certain bowl, losing 31-28 to Wisconsin to drop to 4-6.
- My wife's Hurricanes rolled at home against Virginia 52-17.
- Navy gets its second win in two years, both at Notre Dame Stadium, beating the Irish 23-21. That makes Jimmy Montana 1-2 against the vaunted Midshipmen after his predecessors were 43-0. So how is that Heisman campaign, Jimmy? The six BCS conferences (and maybe TCU and Boise State) now have $14 million reasons to thank Navy.
- Finally, you have the crown jewel of the day. Purdue goes and wins at Michigan Stadium for the first time in 43 years. They also beat Ohio State and Michigan in the same season for just the third time ever.
So many streaks ended today. An 11 game road losing streak, tied for the longest active streak in the nation with Utah State, is done. The 17 game losing streak in Ann arbor is done. Ralph Bolden's streak of being held down is done. While I am not happy with Hope's actions after the game, there are so many positives to take from this game.
Finally, we responded to adversity in Ann Arbor.
Finally, the defense held in a critical road game.
Finally, we beat Michigan at Michigan.
Positives from today's game:
Cortez Smith - I wanted to begin by talking Cortez' play from the start. Here is a guy that hadn't been given much of an opportunity all year. He had just 30 yards receiving before today. He earned his reps in practice though by being able to catch the football after so many drops last week. His four catches then were absolutely huge. He had a big first down on the opening drive that set up a score. He had another first down catch on the touchdown drive before the onside kick. He then caught probably the first deep ball of the season to give us the lead for good. Here is a guy that hadn't done much all season, but when called upon today he responded.
Brandon King - He made the play of the day. When he batted down the option pitch and recovered that big fumble just after halftime it turned the game entirely in our favor. He almost picked it up and scored himself. Just a huge play.
Gary Nord and Danny Hope - In a word, Stones. Twice they went for the jugular after a turnover (Bolden's run after the fumble and the Cortez Smith TD). The onside kick was a thing of genius. It was a high risk, but we caught the Wolverines with their pants down, then made them pay.
Joey Elliott - Elliott joins the list of Drew Brees and Jim Everett on the list of Purdue quarterbacks that have beaten Ohio State and Michigan in the same season. Elliott also added to the degree of difficulty by grabbing one of the two on the road. Everett beat both at Ross-Ade in 1984, while Brees did the same in 2000. He did it today by throwing for a career high in yardage and having really just one bad throw (the first INT). Imagine how much better things would have been without the drops. This will be the only season we have Joey as a starter and it is a shame. He is definitely worthy of being in the Cradle of Quarterbacks. It is even better because he picked himself up after such a bad outing last week. This is not even talking about his running ability. Elliott has that presence of knowing when to tuck and run the ball. That is what we need in a QB.
Ralph Bolden - The countdown toward a thousand yard season is back on. I felt that Ralph was thinking too much last week. It seems like he has been trying to make an extra move of late instead of attacking. Today he attacked and kept our offense two dimensional. Both touchdown rushes were runs in which he attacked, but was patient behind his blockers. The TD catch was on a similar play to Jaycen Taylor's TD against Notre Dame, so that is a deadly play.
Ryan Kerrigan - He made maybe the play of the year on the 2-point conversion sack. If we make a bowl game it is because Ryan Kerrigan owned Ohio State and Michigan. Please pass on what you have learned so you can keep the Den of Defensive Ends going.
Jeff Lindsay and Kyle Adams - The tight ends need a hearty butt touch today. Adams' had a drop that turned into an INT, but for the most part both of these guys had their best games of the season. They kept drives going and Lindsay's big catch and run set up the final score.
The officials - Thank you for getting the call on the forward lateral right. That is why you are good officials. You screwed the pooch by calling a penalty on the 45 yard line for tripping that cost us a fumble recovery on a punt, but you made the right call at the end of the game. It let us kill more clock and stopped me from breaking my TV.
Chris Summers - The kid has been maligned all year, but he had several good punts today (even if the coverage was bad on the second to last one). His rugby style punt was huge in the end game. Chris needs some credit. I know he hasn't been the best all the time, but he has had his moments. We have to learn to take the good with the bad. Today Chris was very good. He even handled kicking out of the end zone well.
The defense - in terms of hidden plays, their effort before Michigan's final TD was huge. Michigan began on the 11 yard line, yet the defense made the Wolverines take five plays (and precious time) off the clock to score. They weren't the best all day, but that was a hidden play that ended up being very big.
Jason Olesnavage - Thank you for missing that extra point, making Michigan go for 2 late. It was almost an exact reverse of the Oregon game.
Negatives from today's game:
Danny Hope - There are already camps forming in terms of opinion on his behavior after the game. Please put me in the negative camp. Michigan is always going to out-recruit us. They are MICHIGAN. They have been the class of the Big Ten for a century or so. Please don't do anything to piss them off. This is one of the most petty arguments in the history of coaching. Reckman was rightfully suspended for his incident, so what does it matter that another coach pointed it out. Just do the handshake and get off the field. Don't say something petty that will only piss off the other team.
The first half defense - This game was a lot like the 2000 game against Michigan in that we showed no interest in stopping them in the first half, but played a virtually lights out second half. We also made Michigan pay for a big turnover. Unfortunately, poor tackling made this game a lot more heart-wrenching than it should have been.
Roy Roundtree - Well, we're this guy's bitch for three more years.
Up next:
The Michigan State game has meaning. A win there means we are playing IU to keep the bucket and go to an unexpected bowl. If the Hoosiers upset Penn State in Happy Valley it becomes a bowl play-in game. Winner goes, loser stays home.
Fans, if you live within 3 hours of West Lafayette and have nothing to do next Saturday, please come to Ross-Ade Stadium. Give these seniors and this team a great home crowd for the final game of the season. Come and be loud. Come and act like fools for three and a half hours. Come and just stand there wearing gold and black. Just come and support this team in what could be one of the biggest home games in years.
This team is not going to win the national championship. In fact, any bowl game we qualify for will get a standard highlight package on ESPN, then be forgotten. If it does make a bowl, especially after such a poor start, it lays the foundation for a huge step forward for the entire program. This is like the 2007 basketball team breaking through and getting an NCAA berth behind David Teague and Carl Landry. They didn't win the title, but they set the stage for the future.
I have come to love this team. They haven't had the most talent. They haven't performed the best at times, but they have played their hearts out all season long. Think about it. They could have folded at 1-5 with #7 Ohio State coming to town. Instead, we still have something to play for with two games left. This team has the biggest heart of any Purdue team in recent years, and that is why I love them. I will miss the seniors, as they are instilling a never quit attitude in the underclassmen that will pay huge dividends.
This team deserves your support next week. You can sit in the South End Zone for $22. You can get four regular seats for $100. That is a $21 discount off of the regular price if you're in the main seating bowl. Find three friends and come to the game. Come send them off right at home. They have fought all season long, so now let's fight for them by turning Ross-Ade into a true home field advantage.

On Saturday I attended the SC Comicon 2016 in Greenville, South Carolina, a new show on the map that is only in its third year, if I'm not mistaken. Given that this convention is held literally in my backyard, it was only my first time going to the show due to committments having tailgunned my participation the other times that it was held.
I had a great time at this show and plan on making it a part of my yearly "must do's" so kudos to Borderlands and Rob Young for knocking this con out of the park.

We love crystals. We hate crystals. We have opinions about crystals. But wtf are they, really? If you have questions about crystals, here's a quick crash course in what they're all about and how to use them.
In the wellness world, crystals are notorious – they line shelves in curated boutiques, fill IG feeds, adorn manicured nails. We love crystals. We hate crystals. We have opinions about crystals. But wtf are they, really? What, and who, are they actually for? If you have questions about crystals, here's a quick crash course in what they're all about and how to use them.
What Are Crystals?
What we call crystals in the alternative wellness sphere are basically stones / gems / rocks, from the earth, that are used for healing the mind, bod, and spirit. Different crystals carry a distinct property, appearance, and energy. They're used in meditation and in day-to-day practices like yoga, sleeping, bathing, and working, to help you break through blocks and facilitate energy flow.
The way they work can be traced right back to the law of physics. According to Energy Muse, 'on a cellular level, our bodies and (crystals) are both made up of mineral silicon-dioxide. Because of this, we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect and receive energy. When crystals are placed on your body, they have a vibratory effect that surges from the crystal to you. According to the law of physics, thoughts direct energy and energy follows thought… crystals serve as a tool to help the thoughts of our consciousness connect with our body.'
Best Crystals For Beginners
It's said that we tend to be subconsciously drawn to the crystal we most need in our life – each vibration speaks to us in a different way. So, the best way to select a crystal is to just go to a store and see which your intuition guides you to. Generally, here are 3 crystals that are beginner friendly and easy to cultivate a 'relationship' with.
Rose Quartz: This pink stone supports self love and the opening of the heart chakra. It's comforting and helps you feel supported in yourself.
Citrine: Ideal for creative people of all kinds, citrine moves negative energy out, rather than absorbs it, so you can use it for creating space for happiness and welcoming positive opportunities into your life.
Amethyst: This purple and white beauty helps clear away stress and enhance your intuition. Use it for clear thinking and direction.
Hematite: If you tend to get stuck in your head or struggle with anxiety, hematite can be a helpful grounding aid. It helps protect and focus your energy, and keep you chill.
How to Use Crystals
Just like your intuition will likely tell you which crystal you need, how you feel drawn to incorporate it into your life will let you know what to do with it. Truth is, people use crystals in a bunch of different ways, depending on their needs and lifestyles. Advanced users can create crystal grids to set intentions, or do body layouts for healing the chakras. Beginners might want to just stick one in their bra before a meeting, or something. No one way is better than the other – it's a totally personal relationship, so it's whatever is best for you. Here are some common ways to use crystals:
Meditation: Holding your crystal in your hand, close your eyes and concentrate on your breath and the weight in your hand. If you want, recite a mantra in your head that corresponds to the intention you set for the crystal. As you breathe in and out, allow the crystal to transmit its energy to you.
If you want to work with a specific chakra, try a body layout. Lay down and place a crystal that corresponds with a chakra onto that area (take a look at a chakra map to see which colours are associated with each chakra – most likely, crystals of that colour will work to heal that chakra).
Energy clearing: Keep a crystal by your laptop or another electronic to keep the energy clear and you protected. Himalayan salt lamps are great for this.
Protection: Carry the crystal you want to work with in your bag, your bra, your back pocket, your bun. Having close physical contact with the crystal will be a constant reminder of your intention and help you direct your energy back to what matters.
Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals
Cleanse your crystals periodically or their energy won't be as strong. If you're a fan of sage or palo santo, give them a once over with some cleansing smoke. Or, you can lay them out in direct sunlight or moonlight for 4 hours or overnight for clearing.
Now go forth and let that energy flow!

A great benefit would be that all domain–related e–mails (transfer requests, EPP codes, and so on) will still make their way to you, whilst unwanted e–mails can be blocked out.
Whois Privacy Protection–eligible TLDs
We are unable to provide Whois Privacy Protection for all the domain names. That is a constraint enforced by the entity responsible for administering the any specific TLD at the top level. In accordance with the aforementioned solely a couple domains are currently Whois Privacy Protection–eligible:
The supported TLDs are: .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv & .cc.
SSL Certificates
Get SSL certificates straight from your CP
If you manage an Internet shop, which accepts payments, it's mandatory that you offer your website visitors a protected payment info submission section. And this is precisely where SSL certificates come into play – they encode the connection between your site and the customer. Typically, you have to go to a third–party supplier to buy an SSL certificate. That is not the case with Hostbot.
With Hostbot, you'll be able to activate a generic SSL certificate or even a wildcard SSL certificate right through your Control Panel.
Domain Redirection
Forward your sites to every other host on the net
With our domain name forwarding tool, you will be able to point a domain or a subdomain in your account to any web site that you want. This tool sports an easy–to–use interface, which enables you to redirect the (sub)domain names that you want with only a couple of clicks. Hence, you won't have to cope with intricate modifications to the .htaccess file.
In order to forward a domain, simply select the destination path it must follow and our intelligent tool will carry out the rest instead of you and will instantaneously redirect the domain name to the newly specified location.
Video Tutorials
Built–in instructional videos
If you desire to learn what you can do with our web hosting Control Panel, check Hostbot's video tutorials. We have amassed an impressive selection of explanatory video clips that cover each section of our hosting Control Panel.
In case you can't find a how–to video that can help you, we also have step–by–step manuals as well as a comprehensive F.A.Q. library, both of which feature answers to the questions that our customer support team is asked the most. If you want live aid, you can always contact our tech support staff reps – they'll be here for you 24 hours a day.
All–Inclusive Domain Manager
Change name servers, set up subdomains, etc.
Within the Control Panel you'll find a point & click domain name administration interface offering plenty of controls for administering many domains at a time. You'll be able to quickly create sub–domain names, forward web sites, edit the name servers and the WHOIS info associated with a domain, add custom DNS entries and much more.
Apart from the standard domain controls, in the Domain Manager you'll also find an option to mask your registration details by using the Whois Privacy Protection option as well as to safeguard your e–store's monetary transactions with standard or wildcard Secure Sockets Layer certificates.
Wildcard Domains
Set up a wildcard domain with simply a click of the mouse
With the Wildcard DNS feature, you can make all your sub–domains forward to the home page of your web site. For example, if someone types in smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they'll be redirected to http://domain.com/.
You may need the Wildcard DNS functionality for a multi–site web app such as Joomla™ Multi–Site or WordPress.
To add a wildcard domain, visit the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and press the Add Host button on the right. At the bottom of the list of options, you'll see the Wildcard Domain tickbox.
Effortless Scalability
Quickly switch your cloud hosting plan
In case you have a standalone domain with us, and yet you also desire to take advantage of our cloud hosting packages, you'll be able to do this at any moment with merely a couple of clicks of the mouse. You will keep your Control Panel and will also be able to administer your domains, sites and billing transactions from one single location.
Furthermore, you will be able to take advantage of all the bonuses associated with our cloud hosting packages, including a free domain name registration option.

NBC's 'Community' season 5 video: Another new trailer, and this one's animated!
Could "Community" find a way to become even more epic when it comes to some of the promotional material that they are putting out there for season 5?
The latest trailer below is animated, and it really has nothing to do at all with what you are going to expect from the actual episodes ahead. Instead, it's more of a prequel that shows Jeff Winger at Christmastime, alone and away from the study group. He's visited then by Dean Pelton and Chang, who bring him most of his old friends (sans Pierce Hawthorne) to deliver some Christmas cheer. There are some great meta lines in here, as Annie talks about the show's schedule this year (interrupted only by the Olympics), and Troy is used in an interesting way that did not require Donald Glover to do any real voice work at all. (He may have already left the show at the time in which this was made.)
More than just hilarious promos, what all of these trailers and clips really show to us more than anything else is that NBC is fully committed to making this into the comedy that they want to get behind. They probably realize now that with the ratings for their other comedies down the toilet, and with "Parks and Recreation" losing some of its old stars, they need to find a way to get viewers watching something. "Community' has the potential to at least draw okay ratings with Dan Harmon around; we personally remember just how much glee there was at that one point in season 3 when the show actually drew above a 2.0 in the demo.

Razo Easy Sachet is a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine such as acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and some other stomach conditions associated with excessive acid production.
Razo Easy Sachet is also used to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity that may be seen with the prolonged use of painkillers. It belongs to a class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This medicine should be taken one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning. The dose will depend on your underlying condition and how you respond to the medicine. Try to take it regularly at the same time each day as advised by your doctor. You should keep on taking it as prescribed even if your symptoms disappear quickly. You may be able to help improve your symptoms by eating smaller meals more often and avoiding caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee, and spicy or fatty foods.
This medicine's most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These tend to be mild but talk to your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. The risk of side effects may increase the longer you take this medicine. Long-term use (more than 1 year) may increase your risk for bone fractures, especially with higher doses. Talk to your doctor about ways to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis), like taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Low blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) have been seen in some people taking this medicine for 3 months or more. This may lead to tiredness, confusion, dizziness, muscle twitches, and an irregular heartbeat. Your doctor may monitor your magnesium levels to prevent this.
Razo Easy Sachet is not suitable for some people. Before taking this medicine, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have ever had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, or suffer from bone loss (osteoporosis). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Avoid drinking alcohol as it makes your stomach produce excessive acid and can worsen your symptoms. Do not drive or use machinery or tools, if this medicine makes you feel dizzy or sleepy.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux )
- Peptic ulcer disease
In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
GERD is a chronic (long-term) condition that is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth. Razo Easy Sachet belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. It reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective.
Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
In Peptic ulcer disease
Razo Easy Sachet belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. It reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes, preventing further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
Common side effects of Razo Easy
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Flatulence
- Headache
- Nausea
- Sore throat
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting

Filmmaking is a Pie Eating Contest.
Filmmaking was once described to me as a pie eating contest where the prize is more pie. Nothing could be more accurate. When starting out it can be hard to just to figure out how to take the next step, let alone plan ahead to post, marketing, distribution, festivals. Sometimes you just have to focus on getting through your shot list.
It would be amazing if we had all the time and experience and money in the world to focus solely on our projects. To set up a great instagram, have plenty of money for sound design, and get all the credits sorted on the first pass.
But often, we don't.
When you're making your first project it's important to remember that filming it is only winning the first pie eating contest. The next round of pies comes in post. Make sure you plan for plenty of time to eat all these pies! Editing can take months and that's only part one! Then you need to get sound design, possibly do ADR with actors, color the footage, add music, create opening titles, end credits, and export everything into one file.
I talk to a lot of filmmakers who have the idea that post will take a few weeks. Usually they ask me if wrapping two weeks before a festival deadline will be enough time to do post and submit. And this is one of the few times I say, "No, that's not possible."
Unless that filmmaker can afford to pay a post team to work non stop exclusively on their project, two weeks is nowhere near enough time.
Unless that filmmaker wants to submit a rough first edit to the festival, two weeks is not enough time.
Post production is still part of production, your film is still being made by the choices the editor makes, the sound and music added, even the colors will change the story you are telling.
So, when you're tucking into the first round of pie eating, remember that another round is coming. And if you can plan for that and save some room in your stomach, all the better.
Got more questions about the filmmaking process? Hit me up!

Tide Becomes Drug Currency
Basically, Tide detergent is a popular product with a very small profit margin. So small non-chain grocery and convenience stores are happy to buy it cheaply, no questions asked. This makes it easy to sell if you steal it. And drug dealers have started taking it as currency, large bottles being worth about $5.
EDITED TO ADD (2/13): Snopes rates this as "undetermined."

Myspace teases slick new revamp with minimalist flair (video)
When it rebranded as My[___], the social network innovator was met with much deserved derision. It was widely perceived as a desperate attempt to recapture the interest of the hipster class that once propelled it into the mainstream, before being overshadowed by the creeping empire of Facebook. The spectacular crash of the brand eventually led to News Corp. to sell it to Specific Media and Justin Timberlake. Since then, the partnership has been quietly working behind the scenes to rebuild the site and return it to its former glory. Like most of the tech media we're understandably skeptical of any attempt to relaunch the flagging social service, but after getting a peak at the redesign we've gotta say we're rooting for it.
Myspace (notice, no camel case) has be rebuilt from the ground up and bears almost no resemblance to its previous incarnations. There's still a heavy focus on music and an integrated playlist creator. Visually everything has been stripped down, with thin clean sans-serif fonts, large images and lots of soft grays. Instead of a vertically aligned wall of posts, profile pages are dominated by a large image that fills the window completely -- like Facebook's cover photos taken to their logical extreme. Images and status updates are arranged in a side-scrolling grid that clearly takes inspiration from some of Tumblr's flashier templates. It's all quite beautiful and even integrates with its popular competitors. You can sign up for an invite at the source and check out the teaser after the break.

Polyester webbing offers many great features. Its ultra violet (UV) resistance is excellent making it the choice for outdoor applications. Additionally it has very low stretch, excellent abrasion resistance, great strength and does not absorb much water. Polyester webbing has a melting point of 500°F. Our polyester webbing is NOT load rated and should never be used for life safety or overhead lifting applications.
DuPont calls polyester "Dacron" (no, our webbing is not made from DuPont's materials) which has long been the material for sailboat sails and rigging. Quoting from one of the online encyclopedias, "Dacron is a condensation polymer obtained from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Its properties include high tensile strength, high resistance to stretching, both wet and dry, and good resistance to degradation by chemical bleaches and to abrasion. The continuous filament yarn is used in curtains, dress fabrics, high-pressure fire hoses, men's shirts, and thread. The staple fiber is ideal for mixing with wool in men's and women's suits, as well as in dress fabrics, knitted wear, and washable woven sportswear". I guess they are bringing up the "leisure suit", glad that is ancient history!
We offer black in ¾", 1" and 2" widths, white in 1" width. Most polyester webbing comes in 100 yard rolls which can have up to two (2) splices. We sell webbing by the foot and if you need a number of pieces the same length we have the ability in-house to provide cutting using an automated hot cutting machine for a nominal charge.

Getting the Conversion: Convert Units for Free Review
The iPhone Utilities
If you use your iPhone for many daily activities, Convert Units for Free is a tool you should consider. Unit conversion applications allow you to enter one unit of measure and convert it to another unit of measure. You can convert pounds to kilograms, or centimeters to inches. Several unit converters are available for the iPhone. Some are better than others, but successful tools combine usefulness with a good interface. Convert Units for Free is in the second category, but isn't going to rise to the top of any list.
Using the iPhone Conversion Application
Convert Units for Free is in a Rolodex format, which allows you to choose a measurement type when you begin using the application. Choose a measurement, such as angles or data. Use the left-hand Rolodex to enter the number you want to associate with that format. Rotate the right-hand Rolodex to match the format you want to convert to. You can use formats for date, energy, force, length, mass, power, and many others. The format is relatively usable and convenient, but it could be more user-friendly.
Proper Conversion
The problem with this application is that you need to have a basic understanding of unit conversion before you start using the interface. Other converter applications are made for those with limited knowledge of unit conversion. This allows beginners to make quick and accurate conversions. This application has more features, but it's necessary for you to know how the different types of measurements relate to each other. This is especially true when some of them are not straight conversions.
Overall Review
Free the Apps! is the developer of Convert Units for Free. This developer is known for free iPhone applications, but created this unit conversion tool to make money. The program has a banner ad at the top, which is similar to the ads found on other free iPhone applications. One of the worst problems with this application is the area of the interface where you select the base unit that you want to convert. You have to enter a gray menu that nearly freezes other aspects of the application. Despite these problems, this is a free application that is fairly useful. On a scale of one to ten, this application merits a score of 6.5.
