Wrestling season started more than a month ago, but like several teams around the state, Warwick Vets didn't get its first taste of dual-meet action until last week.
It wasn't the best start, as Cranston West picked up five pins on its way to a 45-36 victory on Thursday night. The 'Canes have already made some waves in tournaments this year, but their dual-meet debut was a reminder of what it'll take for overall team success this season.
"For a lot of these new guys, this was their first time wrestling a dual meet," said head coach Brendan Friel. "A lot of these guys don't have that experience yet where they learn how to wrestle smart. In a tournament, if you're down, you go for the win. They've got to learn, if they make a mistake out here, it's not just that their day at the tournament is over; it's going to ultimately affect the team."
That knowledge should come in handy as the 'Canes try to mold themselves into a contender over the next few months. Vets has just two seniors in the lineup, and a few key injuries have left the team with some holes.
But the 'Canes now have some experience to draw on as they move forward.
"We only have two seniors on this team, and we've had some injuries," Friel said. "We're trying to make this not only a learning experience for them but a chance to get better."
Cranston West is a similar team, with a few standouts but mostly a young roster, and Thursday's match was close every step of the way.
After a pin by West's Casey O'Connor at 106, Vets junior John Altieri – one of three returning state champions on the roster – notched a second-period pin at 113. Vets' Davin Lourenco then won by forfeit at 120. Nathaniel Colicci – another defending champ – pinned Ryan Gomez with 34 seconds left in the second period of their match at 126, staking Vets to an 18-6 lead.
The next match was one of the most hotly contested of the night, with Vets sophomore Tom Galligan going up against West sophomore John Petrocelli. Galligan took an early lead thanks to a technical violation by Petrocelli and a first-period takedown. He then made it 5-0 with near-fall points early in the second period. But as Galligan pushed for a pin, Petrocelli reversed him then took him to his back, tying the match with two for the reversal and three near-fall points.
In the third, Petrocelli started on bottom, reversed Galligan again and then pinned him with one minute left. That turnaround made the score 18-12 in favor of Vets.
The 'Canes came back strong at 138, with sophomore Mickenzey Pacheco rallying from a 2-0 hole to pin Albert Renzi in the second period, making it 24-12.
That match was one of the biggest bright spots for the 'Canes.
"Mickenzey is one of my young guys," Friel said. "He's only a second-year wrestler. He works hard in the room every day. When he goes on the mat, he's got to get that confidence. We told him to wrestle his stuff and his offense, and he did it."
Unfortunately for the 'Canes, Pacheco's pin was one of the last bright spots. With two 145-pounders ready to go and nobody in the 170, 182 and 195-pound weight classes, Friel opted to bump one of his 145-pounders to 152 and have everybody after that move up one spot as well. It didn't work out, though, as West won three of those four matches.
Nick Almonte pinned Kam Boyajian with just 24 seconds left in their match at 145. At 152, Armand Vaziri held off Owen Amirault for a 5-3 win. At 160, Vin Mizzoni picked up another pin for the Falcons, giving West the 27-24 lead.
Vets came back with a pin by George Schmeider at 170, but the damage had been done.
"I made a decision today and it didn't work out the way we wanted it to," Friel said. "Had it worked out, that score would have been reversed. It was a choice I made and this was our first match. We didn't have that run in December like a lot of other teams had so we had to base it off tournament experience. It didn't work out for us, but hopefully we learn from it and turn those into victories later in the season."
Vets forfeited the next two matches and Nick James clinched the victory for the Falcons with a pin of Aaron Hurst at 220. James Golen gave Vets a strong finish with a pin at 285, making it a 45-36 final.
"The young guys have to learn," Friel said. "Tonight, we had a pin with 25 seconds left. We saw some guys rushing things and getting reversed to their backs when they had a lot of time. It's learning that mat awareness and what we need to do in a match to win."
While the young Vets wrestlers are learning the ropes, the team's veterans are already putting together strong seasons. Both Colicci and Schmeider won championships at the annual Lowell, Mass., tournament, an event that is usually a good predictor of New England success.
In terms of the bigger picture, the goal is to have those standouts serve as an example.
"We're trying to get those guys to step up as leaders in the room and say, 'Hey, if you want to get to this level, this is what you have to work on,'" Friel said.
Vets returned to action Monday for a meet with Johnston and Westerly. Results were unavailable at press time. On Thursday, the 'Canes will visit defending state champion Cumberland.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit brought by a former aide of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, who claimed a breach of employment contract when he was fired a year ago and also claimed he was maligned.
Wayne McDonald was Hancock's friend and served as a project's manager and adviser in the mayor's office, earning $85,000 a year. McDonald was terminated on May 18, 2012, after a female Denver police officer accused him of sexual harassment. McDonald denied he sexually harassed the police officer.
In his suit, McDonald claimed he had been given no hearing or other opportunity to address the accusations. He named the police officer, Hancock and the mayor's press secretary Amber Miller as defendants.
U.S. District Court Judge John Kane said in an order that McDonald's suit "is cluttered with erroneous and superfluous concepts and buzzwords that confuse the issues and render meaningful analysis difficult."

Melissa Cady needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Car Shipping Rates
Car Shipping Rates is a new web marketplace that allows consumers to get quotes on car shipping rates, as well as find car carriers to ship their cars. The aim of our website is to be bubbly and simple. We'd like our logo to mirror that image. Here are some websites we like:
Our target audience is the type of person likely to ship their car in a move rather than drive it. Generally, these people will likely be web savvy and make a fair income.
We are looking for something fun, modern, and simple. We want it to have the feel of the Mac icon: Simple, recognizable, and clean. Also, for the imagery, we want some sort of car emerging from a box, preferably a newer car (though something less generic than a VW Bug), so it literally looks like the car is being shipped in a box. We see this box as sitting on its side facing about 3/4 forward with the appearance that the car is driving or coming out of the box.
Our website will be designed in the same blue used on https://www.shoeboxed.com.
One logo we really like is the logo for https://www.dropbox.com/. It's very clean and simple, and we love the font and the shading on the box. We also like how the image is monochromatic, but a little more color would work as well. We do like the text in black.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Plain, white custom window shades can match virtually any decor and they're often less expensive than more decorative varieties. However, that doesn't mean you have to keep them plain and simple! If you're looking to add a bit of personality to your white blinds and shades, here are two easy DIY projects you might want to consider.
Ribbon trim
Choose ribbon that matches the colors or textures of the room you're using the shades in. This could be satin, squiggly edged or striped. Gather up a pair of scissors, some glue and a paint brush, then cut the ribbon to the width of the shades. Glue a strip or two of ribbon near the bottom and you're done!
Painted designs
Better Homes and Gardens Magazine has a wealth of ideas for using paint on your white shades. Water-based acrylic craft paints are your best bet, and you can go wild with whatever colors you want. You could make it easy by using a stencil to create fun shapes, or get creative by coming up with designs of your own. Any way you do it, carefully applied paint can certainly add flair to any room's plain window coverings.

Ferguson: Mourinho capable of managing United
Sir Alex Ferguson believes Jose Mourinho would be capable of stepping into his shoes at Manchester United, but stopped short of saying he is the man who should replace him.
Many have long thought that the Portuguese coach would be the perfect candidate to succeed Ferguson when he does leave Old Trafford, with the two men seeming to share many similar traits, in particular a thirst for winning trophies.
When asked if Mourinho could replace him, Ferguson told ITV4: "He can manage anywhere, absolutely."
The current Real Madrid boss is no stranger to the English league having won back-to-back titles with Chelsea during a highly successful three-year spell between 2004 and 2007, having initially introduced himself to English fans when his Porto side knocked Ferguson's United out of the Champions League in 2003.
That Porto team went on to win the European Cup and speaking to an ITV programme to celebrate the 49-year-old's 10 years at the top of management, Ferguson admitted he has got what it takes to manage any club in the world.
Ferguson added: "I'm not going to put any forecasts on what is going to happen at this club. I won't last forever, but Jose can manage anywhere, there is no question about that."
Unlike Ferguson, a player of some repute during his career, Mourinho had little success on the field, making his haul of 21 trophies from 10 years in the dugout all the more impressive.
"I would never think a guy who hasn't played a game could be a top coach, but then you've got to look at his personality, I think his personality does it," Ferguson added. "He's got a marvellous, strong personality and I think that bridges that gap. That's incredible (his trophy haul). How old is he now? Fiftieth year. So he is 20 years behind me. At the same rate he is going to add another 42 trophies. At the current rate, (that is) amazing isn't it?"
Upon arriving at Chelsea Mourinho caused a media storm when he referred to himself as a 'Special One', a nickname which has stuck with him through subsequent trophy-laden spells with Inter Milan and Madrid.
"I remember his first press conference (at Chelsea) and I thought 'he's a cocky b****r, him'," Ferguson said. "He was telling the players, 'Look, I'm the Special One, we don't lose games'. Bloody hell, coming to England, he is only a young man and saying he is the Special One! But what it did, it told all the players to have the belief they were going to win the league."

is this you, Jesus?
We'll know He's back when He claims His holy profile on spock.com. (Or, if you know Jesus of Nazareth, you can invite Him.)
In other news, Spock does not let you search people whose names contain accented letters.
Example: as of the writing of this post, you can't find Gérard Depardieu, even though his profile exists.
So, if Jesus comes back, it would be nice of Him to miraculously fix this issue: in the year 2007, developers still fail at handling non-ASCII characters.

Look, a new edition of Product Review Friday is comin' your way. Our summer vacation is over and we're all back to work. This week we welcome a new manufacturer to our review effort, Zini. You will be hearing a lot more from this Chinese company in the weeks to come because they sent us a whole bunch of their toys. But today, to kick off this barrage of new products, we bring you a couple male-oriented toys from their extensive line. Unfortunately, I can't yet find these toys here in the good old US of A, but they are available all over Europe, the UK and Australia. Let hope they find a US distributor real soon.
Let's check in with Dr Dick Review Crew member, Greg, to see what he has for us.
Zini Janus Anti Shock and Lamp
I have a couple of anal insertion toys that are gonna rock your world. These toys are generally marketed to men, but women have butts too. And I know at least three women, friends of mine, who get off on anal toys. They tell me that they get great G-spot stimulation through anal stimulation. OK then! It sure works great on my prostate, or as some folks like to call it, my P-spot. Whatever kind of "spot" you have you will get off on one of these puppies.
I have two of the three available sizes—the small, Anti Shock, and the large, Lamp. I can't honestly say I like the names they've chosen for their toys. The small, Anti Shock, is for beginners. Personally, I would never even allude to the word "shock" if I were making an anal toy, especially for men and especially for beginners. But that's just me. And "Lamp?" Where are they going with that? I mean, if it lit up, FINE! But, as they say, "a rose by any other name," right?
So I'm pretty confident that anyone the least bit familiar with anal toys will look at the Anti Shock, and Lamp and go, "Hey, they look just like the Aneros products!" Yeah, there are similarities, for sure; they all go in your butthole, for instance. And since I have used both kinds of these insertables, I feel I am in a position to say that I prefer the Zini brand. Here's why I say that.
Both product lines are of a similar size. Both have a lot of the same features—shapes, grippable handles for easy insertion and extraction, and a taint (perineum) massager (that's the little ball shaped thing opposite the handle. Now for the differences. The Zini line has a substructure of hard plastic, like the Aneros line, but the insertable part is covered with velvety silicone. This is huge for me. I love silicone. It's versatile; it's latex-free, nonporous, phthalate-free, and hypoallergenic too. The Zini line is also a better design, in my opinion. The way the shaft is affixed to the handle makes for better internal and external stimulation.
The gradual increase in girth between the three sizes makes finding the ideal fit for everyone—rank amateur to seasoned pro—easy as pie. The Anti Shock: total length: 4.25 inches, insertable length: 3.25 inches, circumference: 2.75 inches and the Lamp: total length: 4.25 inches, insertable length: 3.75 inches, circumference: 3.75 inches.
Beyond the pleasure there are loads of health benefits associated prostate massage. If you don't believe me, ask Dr Dick.
While the Anti Shock, and Lamp are not traditional butt plugs, they work on the same principle. You can wear the Anti Shock, and Lamp, for hours at a time; they're that comfortable. And because your anal sphincter clamps down on the stem of the shaft, where it attaches to the handle, it's not gonna slip out of your hole, nor will it slip all the way in. Only thing; you can't sit down comfortably with either of these insertables in your bum. Don't worry, there's lots more you can do with either of these guys. I like laying on my back with one or another of these massagers in my butt. I like rocking my pelvis or doing some crunches while I pull my pud. There's so much more stimulation that way than when I'm just jerking off without anal stimulation. And I get way more intense orgasms too. It stands to reason, huh? Your prostate is where most of your ejaculate comes from. And massaging your prostate will increase your ejaculate too.
The tapered tip on both of these insertables make inserting so easy, even for a novice butt pirate. To tell the truth, not even the girthiest part of the Lamp is all that scary. I also like the Zini line's ball-like perineum massager. Beats the hell out of the Aneros tab massager.
Use only a water-based lube with both of these toys. A silicone-based lube will mar the beautiful silicone finish on the Anti Shock, and Lamp.
Because it is waterproof and made of silicone it's easy to clean. Mild soap and warm water does just fine for everyday cleaning. But you can also wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution to sanitize for sharing. Hell, you can even pop these puppies in the top rack of the dishwasher for further sanitation.
The packaging is pretty basic; a clear plastic shell with a cardboard insert behind the toy. However, the back of the insert lists all of the features of the toy as well as measurements for the three different available sizes.

This 1953 newspaper article from the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette in Greenfield, Massachusetts, describes how the Toiletine Company of Montague, Massachusetts, started in 1885 when a "fast-talking medicine man" named Benjamin Franklin Miner set up shop in Hoosick Falls, New York, and moved it to Montague in 1900. Miner advertised his product as the "best type of all-round cure-all on the market." He marketed this and companion products (for example, shampoos, lotions, and flavor extracts) far and wide throughout New England in his horse and buggy. In 1910, William Ulrich bought the company and moved it to Greenfield, Massachusetts. The company disappeared in the early 1970's, probably due to the owner's failure to advertise in an attempt to keep the company small.

This has been taken down, so I moved it here.
I was fortunate enough to be asked for an interview by Reputation.com. I assume this was either due to some clerical error or possibly some under the table bribery I knew nothing about.
Here are some snippets in case you want to decide if clicking the link is really worth your while.
What do I think about the future of SEO?
The future at this point for SEO is to move forward with a light touch. Don't do SEO, but market your business like the search engines aren't there. Of course, quality content and great product/service are the heart of any good online campaign, but link building is still important. But the links you build should meet one of two criteria: The link should prove you are in the industry you are or you are located where you say you are. Meaning, links should support the idea of what your company does. If you sell dog treats, you should connecting with sites about dogs. If your offices are in Richmond, Va., then you should have links from local sites. Search engines pick up on these clues– industry and location.
What are the smartest things a company can do to help boost its web performance and rankings?
Make sure every page on your site has an HTML title that explains what is on the page. Make your titles descriptive.
Blog, blog, blog — but blog about relative topics. If you sell dog treats, write about what treats are healthiest. Think like a dog owner might think when searching for dog treats and write about that and then link to your healthiest dog treats in that post.
You can also find out a bit of history about myself and my company.

Anti-communism is opposition to communism. Organized anti-communism developed in reaction to the rise of communism, especially after the October Revolution brought the Bolsheviks to power in Russia in 1917.
Most anti-communists reject the concept of historical materialism, which is a central idea in Marxism. Anti-communists reject the Marxist belief that capitalism will be followed by socialism and communism, just as feudalism was followed by capitalism. Anti-communists question the validity of the Marxist claim that the socialist state will "wither away" when it becomes unnecessary in a true communist society.
Many critics see a key error in communist economic theory, which predicts that in capitalist societies, the bourgeoisie will accumulate ever-increasing capital and wealth, while the lower classes become more dependent on the ruling class for survival, selling their labor power for the most minimal of salaries. Anti-communists point to the overall rise in the average standard of living in the industrialized West and claim that both the rich and poor have steadily gotten richer. Anti-communists argue that former Third World countries that have successfully escaped poverty in recent decades have done so because of capitalism, most notably the Asian Tigers, India and China. Anti-communists cite numerous examples of Third World Communist regimes that failed to achieve development and economic growth, and in many cases led their peoples into even worse misery, for example the Mengistu regime in Ethiopia.
Opponents argue that Communist parties (sometimes combined with left socialist parties as workers' parties) which have come to power have tended to be rigidly intolerant of political opposition. These opponents claim that most Communist countries have shown no signs of advancing from Marx's socialist stage of economy to an ideal communist stage. Rather, Communist governments have been accused of creating a new ruling class (called by Russians the Nomenklatura), with powers and privileges far greater than those previously enjoyed by the upper classes in the pre-revolutionary regimes.
Anti-communists argue that the repression in the early years of the Bolshevik regime, while not as extreme as that during Stalin's reign, was still severe by any reasonable standards, citing the examples such as Felix Dzerzhinsky's secret police, which eliminated numerous political opponents by extrajudicial executions, and the brutal crushing of the Kronstadt rebellion and Tambov rebellion. According to them, Trotsky could hardly claim any moral high ground, having been one of the top-ranking Bolshevik leaders during these events. Trotsky was later to claim that the Kronstadt rebels were early harbingers of the bureaucratisation which he associated with Stalinism. Some anti-communists refer to both communism and fascism as totalitarianism, seeing similarity between the actions of communist and fascist governments. Robert Conquest, a former Stalinist and British Intelligence officer argued that Communism was responsible for tens of millions of deaths during the 20th century.
The view of human nature usually expounded by anti-communist Objectivists is that while an egalitarian society could be looked at as ideal, it is virtually impossible to achieve. They state that it is human nature to be motivated by personal incentive, and point out that while several communist leaders have claimed to be working for the common good, many or all of them have been corrupt and totalitarian.
Sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson said "Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species", meaning that while ants and other social insects appear to live in communist-like societies, they only do so because they are forced to because they lack reproductive independence. Worker ants are sterile, and individual ants cannot reproduce without a queen, so ants are forced to live in centralised societies. Humans possess reproductive independence, so they can give birth to offspring without the need of a "queen". According to Wilson, humans enjoy their maximum level of Darwinian fitness only when they look after themselves and their families, while finding innovative ways to use the societies they live in for their own benefit.[1]
Although many anarchists describe themselves as communists - spelled with a lower case c, all anarchists criticize authoritarian Communism. They argue that Marxist concepts such as dictatorship of the proletariat and state ownership of the means of production are anathema to anarchism. Some anarchists criticize communism from an individualist or anarcho-capitalist point of view.
Anarchist Mikhail Bakunin debated with Karl Marx in the First International, arguing that the Marxist state is another form of oppression.[2] He loathed the idea of a vanguard party ruling the masses from above. Anarchists initially participated in, and rejoiced over, the 1917 revolution as an example of workers taking power for themselves. However, after the October revolution, it became evident that the Bolsheviks and the anarchists had very different ideas. Anarchist Emma Goldman, deported from the United States to Russia in 1919, was initially enthusiastic about the revolution, but was left sorely disappointed, and began to write her book My Disillusionment in Russia. Anarchist Peter Kropotkin, proffered trenchant criticism of the emergent Bolshevik bureaucracy in letters to Vladimir Lenin, noting in 1920: "[a party dictatorship] is positively harmful for the building of a new socialist system. What is needed is local construction by local forces ... Russia has already become a Soviet Republic only in name."
Resolution 1481/2006 of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), issued on January 25, 2006 during its winter session, "strongly condemns crimes of totalitarian communist regimes".
The European Parliament has proposed making 23 August a Europe-wide day of remembrance for 20th-century Nazi and communist crimes.[3]
Many ex-communists have turned into anti-communists. Mikhail Gorbachev turned from a communist into a social democrat. Leszek Kołakowski was a Polish communist who became a famous anti-communist. He was best known for his critical analyses of Marxist thought, especially his acclaimed three-volume history, Main Currents of Marxism, which is "considered by some[4] to be one of the most important books on political theory of the 20th century."[5] The God That Failed is a 1949 book which collects together six essays with the testimonies of a number of famous ex-Communists, who were writers and journalists. The common theme of the essays is the authors' disillusionment with and abandonment of Communism. The promotional byline to the book is "Six famous men tell how they changed their minds about Communism." Another notable anti-communist was Whittaker Chambers, a former Soviet Union spy who testified against his fellow spies before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
In April 1999, over ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners gathered at Communist Party of China headquarters, Zhongnanhai, in a silent protest following an incident in Tianjin.[6][7][8] Two months later the Chinese government banned the practice through a crackdown and began a large propaganda campaign.[9][10][11] Since 1999, Falun Gong practitioners in China have been reportedly subject to torture,[12] illegal imprisonment,[13] beatings, forced labor, organ harvesting, and psychiatric abuses.[14][15] Falun Gong has responded with their own media campaign, and have emerged as a notable voice of dissent against the Communist Party of China, by founding organizations such as the Epoch Times, NTDTV and the Shen Yun Performing Arts to publicize their cause.[16]
Many historians view fascism as a reaction against to communist and socialist uprisings in Europe. They consider fascism to be a movement that both tried to appeal to the working class and divert them from Marxism, and also appealed to capitalists as a bulwark against Bolshevism.[citation needed] Italian fascism, founded and led by Benito Mussolini took power with the blessing of Italy's king after years of leftist unrest led many conservatives to fear that a communist revolution was inevitable. Throughout Europe, numerous aristocrats and conservative intellectuals, as well as capitalists and industrialists, lent their support to fascist movements. In Germany, numerous far right nationalist groups arose, particularly out of the post-war Freikorps, which were used to crush both the Spartacist uprising and the Munich Soviet.
Initially, the Soviet Union supported the idea of a coalition with the western powers against Nazi Germany, as well as popular fronts in various countries against domestic fascism. This policy was largely unsuccessful, due to the distrust shown by the western powers (especially Britain) towards the Soviet Union. The Soviets changed their policy and negotiated a non-aggression pact with Germany, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939. Stalin did not expect the Germans to attack until 1942, so he was taken by surprise when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, with Operation Barbarossa. Fascism and communism then reverted to their relationship as enemies.
Thích Huyền Quang was a prominient Vietnamese Buddhist monk and anti-communist dissident. In 1977, Huyền Quang wrote a letter to Prime Minister Phạm Văn Đồng detailing counts of oppression by the Communist regime.[17] For this, he and five other senior monks were arrested and detained.[17] In 1982, Huyền Quang was arrested and subsequently put into permanent house arrest for opposition to government policy after publicly denouncing the establishment of the state-controlled Vietnam Buddhist Church.[18] Thích Quảng Độ is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and anti-communist dissident. In January 2008, the Europe-based magazine A Different View chose Ven. Thích Quảng Độ as one of the 15 Champions of World Democracy.
The Catholic Church has a history of anti-communism. The most recent Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The Catholic Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with 'communism' or 'socialism.' … Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds … [Still,] reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended."[19]
Pope John Paul II was a harsh critic of communism,[20] and other popes shared this view as well, for example Pope Pius IX issued a Papal encyclical, entitled Quanta Cura, in which he called "Communism and Socialism" the most fatal error.[21] During the Spanish Civil War, the Catholic Church opposed the left-leaning Republican forces due to their ties to communism and atrocities against Catholicism in Spain, and in many churches and schools prayers were made for the victory of Franco and the Nationalists.
Lúcia Santos, a visionary of the Marian apparition at Fatima, Portugal was known for her anti-communist beliefs, as well as the message of Fatima in general.
From 1945 onward Australian Labor Party leadership[22] accepted the assistance of an anti-Communist Roman Catholic movement, led by B.A. Santamaria to oppose communist subversion of Australian Trade Unions (Catholics being an important traditional support base). To oppose communist infiltration of unions Industrial Groups were formed to regain control of them. The groups were active from 1945 to 1954, with the knowledge support of ALP leadership[23] until after Labor's loss of the 1954 election, when federal leader Dr H.V. Evatt, in the context of his response to the Petrov affair, blamed "subversive" activities of the "Groupers", for the defeat. After bitter public dispute many Groupers (including most members of the NSW and Victorian state executives and most Victorian Labor branches) were expelled from the ALP and formed the Democratic Labor Party (historical). In an attempt to force the ALP reform and remove communist influence, with a view to then rejoining the "purged" ALP, the DLP preferenced (see Australian electoral system) the Liberal Party of Australia, enabling them remain in power for over two decades. Their negative strategy failed, and after the Whitlam Labor Government during the 1970s it, the majority of the DLP decided to wind up the party in 1978, although a small Federal and State party continued based in Victoria (see Democratic Labor Party) with state parties reformed in NSW and Qld in 2008.
After the taming of Central Asian Muslim Khanates by the Soviet Union, Soviet-style Communists did not have any largescale interaction with Muslim populations until the Saur Revolution in Afghanistan, 1978. Before this, traditional Muslim clerics railed against Communist influences in Muslim societies, but any action beyond the sermons was rare. After the declaration in Kabul of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, a Civil War began that spiralled into the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union. This event elevated the ideology of Islamism, which was rooted in Afghanistan's anti-Communist struggle, into a regional influence throughout South West Asia.
Jews have encountered institutional antisemitism in communist countries. Refuseniks were Jews who attempted to leave the Soviet Union.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian novelist, dramatist, and historian. Through his writings he made the world aware of the Gulag, the Soviet Union's forced labor camp system — particularly The Gulag Archipelago and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, his two best-known works. For these efforts Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970, and exiled from the Soviet Union in 1974.
Herta Müller is a Romanian-born German novelist, poet and essayist noted for her works depicting the harsh conditions of life in Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceauşescu regime, the history of the Germans in the Banat (and more broadly, Transylvania), and the persecution of Romanian ethnic Germans by Stalinist Soviet occupying forces in Romania and the Soviet-imposed communist regime of Romania. Müller has been an internationally-known author since the early 1990s, and her works have been translated into more than 20 languages.[24][25] She has received over 20 awards, including the 1994 Kleist Prize, the 1995 Aristeion Prize, the 1998 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the 2009 Franz Werfel Human Rights Award. On 8 October 2009 it was announced that she had been awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The Love-Girl and the Innocent (also translated The Tenderfoot and the Tart) is a play in four acts by Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It is set over the course of about one week in 1945 in a Stalin-era Soviet prison camp. As in many of Solzhenitsyn's works[citation needed], the author paints a vivid and honest[citation needed] picture of the suffering prisoners and their incompetent but powerful wardens. Most of the prisoners depicted in the play are serving 10 year sentences for violations of Soviet Penal Code Article 58. In this play, the author first explores the analogy of the camp system to a separate nation within the Soviet Union, an analogy which would dominate his later work, most clearly in The Gulag Archipelago.
Samizdat was a key form of dissident activity across the Soviet-bloc; individuals reproduced censored publications by hand and passed the documents from reader to reader, thus building a foundation for the successful resistance of the 1980s. This grassroots practice to evade officially imposed censorship was fraught with danger as harsh punishments were meted out to people caught possessing or copying censored materials. Vladimir Bukovsky defined it as follows: "I myself create it, edit it, censor it, publish it, distribute it, and get imprisoned for it."
During the Cold War, Western countries invested heavily in powerful transmitters which enabled broadcasters to be heard in the Eastern Bloc, despite attempts by authorities to jam such signals. In 1947, VOA started broadcasting in Russian with the intent to counter Soviet propaganda directed against American leaders and policies.[26] These included Radio Free Europe (RFE)), RIAS (Berlin) the Voice of America (VOA), Deutsche Welle, Radio France International and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).[27] The Soviet Union responded by attempting aggressive, electronic jamming of VOA (and some other Western) broadcasts om 1949.[26] The BBC World Service similarly broadcast language-specific programming to countries behind the Iron Curtain.
In the People's Republic of China, people have to bypass the Chinese Internet censorship and other forms of censorship.
In 1945, Mit'hat Frashëri compiled a political platform proposing the formation of a coalition government including, members of nationalist Legaliteti, Balli Kombëtar, and other anti-communist movements in addition to the winning communist group. Stemming was the unsuccessful Western-backed campaign of toppling the communist government through the infiltration of dissidents into the country that was made possible from the unification of the four anti-communist groups Legaliteti, Balli Kombëtar, Independents' Block, and the Kosovars' Group and the creation of an anti-communist committee in 1949.
In 1946, an armed uprising took place in Postribë whereby more than a dozen participants were killed and others imprisoned. In 1973, a number of prisoners at Spac concentration camp staged a rebellion where the non-communist flag was raised. In 1984, a similar rebellion took place at the prison of Qafë Bar.
Albania has enacted the Law on Communist Genocide with the purpose[28] of expediting the prosecution of the violations of the basic human rights and freedoms by the former communist governments of the Socialist People's Republic of Albania. The law has also been referred to in English as the "Genocide Law"[29][30][31] and the "Law on Communist Genocide".[32][33]
The Singing Revolution is a commonly used name for events between 1987 and 1990 that led to the restoration of the independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.[34][35] The term was coined by an Estonian activist and artist, Heinz Valk, in an article published a week after the June 10-11 1988 spontaneous mass night-singing demonstrations at the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.[36]
Uprising in Plzeň was an anti-communist revolt by Czechoslovakian workers in 1953.
The Velvet Revolution or Gentle Revolution was a non-violent revolution in Czechoslovakia that saw the overthrow of the Communist government.[37] It is seen as one of the most important of the Revolutions of 1989.
On November 17, 1989, a Friday, riot police suppressed a peaceful student demonstration in Prague. That event sparked a series of popular demonstrations from November 19 to late December. By November 20 the number of peaceful protesters assembled in Prague had swollen from 200,000 the previous day to an estimated half-million. A two-hour general strike, involving all citizens of Czechoslovakia, was held on November 27. In June 1990 Czechoslovakia held its first democratic elections since 1946.
Hong Kong has had numerous anti-communist protests. Some are even opposed to the end of the HKSAR on July 1st 2047, the day on which Hong Kong is scheduled to be fully assimilated into communist China.
Memorials for the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 are held every year in Hong Kong. Tens of thousands people have attended the candlelight vigil.[38]
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a spontaneous nationwide anti-communist revolt in the People's Republic of Hungary, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956. The revolt began as a student demonstration which attracted thousands as it marched through central Budapest to the Parliament building. A student delegation entering the radio building in an attempt to broadcast its demands was detained. When the delegation's release was demanded by the demonstrators outside, they were fired upon by the State Security Police (ÁVH) from within the building. The news spread quickly and disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital. The revolt spread quickly across Hungary, and the government fell. After announcing a willingness to negotiate a withdrawal of Soviet forces, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union changed its mind and moved to crush the revolution.
The Moldovan anti-communist social movement emerged on April 7, 2009, in major cities of Moldova after the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova (PCRM) had allegedly rigged elections.
The anti-communists organized themselves using an online social network service, Twitter, hence its moniker used by the media, the Twitter Revolution[39][40] or Grape revolution.
The Chinese democracy movement is a loosely organized anti-communist movement in the People's Republic of China. The movement began during Beijing Spring in 1978 and played an important role in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. In the 1990s, the movement underwent a decline both within China and overseas, and is currently fragmented and not considered by most analysts to be a serious threat to power to the Communist Party's rule.
Charter 08 is a manifesto signed by over 303 Chinese intellectuals and human rights activists to promote political reform and democratization in the People's Republic of China.[41]
As a document of Chinese origin, it is unusual in calling for greater freedom of expression and for free elections. It was published on 10 December 2008, the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and its name is a reference to Charter 77, issued by dissidents in Czechoslovakia.[42]
Since its release, more than 8,100 people inside and outside of China have signed the charter.[43][44]
Poznań 1956 protests were massive anti-communist protests in the People's Republic of Poland. Protesters were repressed by the regime.
The Polish 1970 protests (Polish: Grudzień 1970) were anti-Comintern protests that occurred in northern Poland in December 1970. The protests were sparked by a sudden increase of prices of food and other everyday items. As a result of the riots, brutally put down by the Polish People's Army and the Citizen's Militia, at least 42 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded.
Solidarity was an anti-communist trade union in a Warsaw Pact country. In the 1980s it constituted a broad anti-communist movement. The government attempted to destroy the union during the period of martial law in the early 1980s and several years of repression, but in the end it had to start negotiating with the union. The Round Table Talks between the government and the Solidarity-led opposition led to semi-free elections in 1989. By the end of August a Solidarity-led coalition government was formed and in December 1990 Wałęsa was elected President of Poland. Since then it has become a more traditional trade union.
The 1959 Tibetan uprising or 1959 Tibetan Rebellion began on 10 March 1959, when an anti-communist revolt erupted in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, which had been under the reign of the Communist Party of China since the Invasion of Tibet in 1950.[45] The Tibetan independence movement is a movement to establish historical Tibet, comprising the three traditional provinces of Amdo, Kham, and Ü-Tsang as an independent state.
The Romanian anti-communist resistance movement lasted between 1948 and the early 1960s. Armed resistance was the first and most structured form of resistance against the communist regime. It wasn't until the overthrow of Nicolae Ceauşescu in late 1989 that details about what was called "anti-communist armed resistance" were made public. It was only then that the public learnt about the numerous small groups of "haiducs" who had taken refuge in the Carpathian Mountains, where some resisted for ten years against the troops of the Securitate. The last "haiduc" was killed in the mountains of Banat in 1962. The Romanian resistance was one of the longest lasting armed movement in the former Soviet bloc.[46]
The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of increasingly violent riots and fighting in late December 1989 that overthrew the Government of Nicolae Ceauşescu. After a trial, Ceauşescu and his wife Elena were executed. Romania was the only Eastern Bloc country to overthrow its government violently or to execute its leaders.
The first major manifestation of anti-communism in the United States occurred in 1919 and 1920, during the First Red Scare, led by Attorney General Alexander Mitchell Palmer.
Following World War II and the rise of the Soviet Union, many of the objections to Communism took on an added urgency because of the stated Communist view that their ideology was universal. The fear of many anti-Communists within the United States was that Communism would triumph throughout the entire world and eventually be a direct threat to the government of the United States. This view led to the domino theory in which a communist takeover in any nation could not be tolerated because it would lead to a chain reaction which would result in a triumph of world communism. There were fears that powerful nations like the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China were using their power to forcibly assimilate other countries into communist rule. The Soviet Union's expansion into Central Europe after World War II was seen as evidence of this. These actions prompted many politicians to adopt a kind of pragmatic anti-Communism, opposing the ideology as a way of limiting the expansion of the Soviet Empire. The US policy of halting further communist expansion came to be known as containment.
Anti-communism flared up strongly with the shooting down on Sept. 1, 1983 by the Soviet Union of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, carrying 269 occupants, just west of the Sakhalin island. Included among the passengers was Georgia congressman Larry McDonald, the only sitting congressman killed by the Soviet Union. The intensity of U.S. and world outrage at the shootdown enabled NATO to deploy Pershing and cruise missiles in West Germany, six minutes flight from Moscow, and deploying elsewhere as well, greatly exasperating the Cold War and causing Soviets to divert resources to counter NATO's move.[citation needed]
The United States government usually argued its anti-communism by citing the human rights record of Communist states, most notably the Soviet Union during the Stalin era, Maoist China, the short-lived Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia led by Pol Pot, and North Korea, because those states ended up killing millions of their own people and continued to suppress civil liberties of the surviving population.
Anti-communism became significantly muted after the fall of the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc communist regimes in Eastern and Central Europe between 1989 and 1991, and the fear of a worldwide Communist takeover is no longer a serious concern. Remnants of anti-communism remain, however, in United States foreign policy toward Cuba, mainland China, and North Korea under Kim Il-sung and after his death, his eccentric son, Kim Jong-il. In the case of Cuba, the United States continues to maintain economic sanctions against the island in a policy which is sharply criticized outside of the United States, but which has substantial support in the US, particularly from the Cuban-American constituency, including many of the Cuban exiles living in Florida who oppose any such normalization with the Cuban government. Much of the right wing of American politics also opposes trade normalization with Cuba while the Communist Party of Cuba retains its influence.
Due to expanding American trade interests with the People's Republic of China, much of the United States foreign policy establishment does not regard "Communist China" as communist in any meaningful sense. Nevertheless, there is some hostility toward the People's Republic of China, particularly among conservative Congressional Republicans which can be regarded as remnants of anti-communism. For example, national security issues were raised during Chinese state-owned CNOOC Ltd.'s takeover bid for Unocal, an American energy firm. North Korea remains staunchly Stalinist and economically isolationist, and tensions between the country and the US have heightened as the result of reports that it is stockpiling nuclear weapons and the assertion that it is generally willing to sell its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology to any group willing to pay a high enough price.
In the 2000s, there have been inquiries in human rights and other problems in communist countries, notably the People's Republic of China. The response to perceived problems has been limited.
In Vietnam, anti-communist movements, including those from pro-democracy and pro-human rights groups, had largely been limited before the advent of the Internet. This, despite a large number of anti-communist protests from the Vietnamese diaspora during the period, was on the one hand due to brutal clampdowns on dissidents (imprisonments and secret executions had been more frequent before Doi Moi) and on the other hand due to the communists' ruthless abuse of their political sway in implementing intrusive and misleading foreign and domestic policies which even go so far as to include conspicuous examinations of personal mails (especially those sent from overseas), and a heavy censorship of the "reactionary western media", which often amounts to withholding and even retorting factual information "in favor of the motherland". In recent years (particularly since the first few years of the 21st century), there have been many Vietnamese bloggers who, with the aid of the World Wide Web, have disseminated what the Communist party styles "dangerous and depraved" information concerning Ho Chi Minh's biographies written by people capable of exhibiting more objectivity over the subject (among these are his own relations, compatriots, and Chinese scholars), and the Vietnamese Government's relations with Red China, the most controversial of which are deals struck between the two communist countries' leaders, such as the furtive sales of Friendship Gate and two eastern groups of islands to China by the Vietnamese Communist government. These have sparked intense nationalism and led to much outrage felt even on the part of many ex-communist Vietnamese themselves. The culmination of the sentiments can be seen in many recent protests held in both former North Vietnam's capital Hanoi and former South Vietnam's capital Saigon.
Frequent arrests of some democracy advocates by the government have also led to activism among many Vietnamese who demand an instant release of all "political criminals" as well as an end to all "jungle trials" of all these people. Recently, there have also been protests against the government blocking access to free networking and blogging services such as Facebook, Wordpress, as well as calls for a unified effort in boycotting "governmentally friendly" blogging services like the so-called "Yahoo! Việt Nam 360plus".
In the Soviet Union, anti-communists were "enemies of the people".
Some communists allege that hundreds of millions of deaths have been caused by capitalism, blaming capitalists for the mass poverty of the third world, world hunger caused by imperialism, and the hundreds of wars over capitalist conflicts, some conflicts only about being able to claim hegemony over the local resources and labor.[47]
Some communists reject the notion that the Soviet Union was a communist country. To them "communist country" is a misnomer because they believe that communism can only exist on a worldwide scale after the means of production are in full control of the workers of the world. According to Stalin in a letter to Pokoyev in 1954, the Soviet Union hadn't achieved socialism yet.[48][49] As further evidence that the Soviet Union wasn't communist, communists cite that the Soviet Union was a nation-state and that communism cannot exist in a nation-state form. Furthermore, due to material conditions, outside influences, and internal problems the Soviet Union degenerated into a deformed workers state, the proletariat was not in power. Lastly, communists say that communism is a post-class society and that the Soviet Union clearly had classes, with elite at the top and workers at the bottom. The power did not rest with the workers.[50]

03 Cylinder Ankle Qupid Women's Bootie Black qwzxfF4CECourt Black By Ovyè Women's Shoes Lucchi Cristina 0YqIU Many of us know that the slope of a line is calculated by "rise over run". However, the application of slope calculation can seem a little more complicated. In the geosciences, you may be asked to calculate the slope of a hill or to determine rate by calculating the slope of a line on a graph. This page is designed to help you learn these skills so that you can use them in your geoscience courses.
Black Women's Pump Tahari giada Ta Why should I calculate slope or gradient?
In the geosciences slope can play an important role in a number of problems. The slope of a hill can help to determine the amount of erosion likely during a rainstorm. The gradient of the water table can help us to understand whether (and how much) contamination might affect a local well or water source.
How do I calculate slope (or gradient) in the geosciences?
Gradient in the case of hillslope and water table is just like calculating the slope of a line on a graph - "rise" over "run". But how do you do that using a contour (or topographic) map?
- First get comfortable with the features of the topographic map of interest. Make sure you know a few things:
Below there is a topographic map of Math State Park. You are interested in building a path from the top of the hill on this map to the creek (Equation Creek) and want to know the slope of the hill. You should probably Sandals oro Oxitaly Soave Gold Women's 18 Oro AtvOxPq (Acrobat (PDF) 93kB Oct15 08).
- What is the contour interval (sometimes abbreviated CI)?
- Tahari Pump Black Ta Women's giada What is the scale of the map?
- What is the feature for which you want to know the slope?
- What is the contour interval of this map?
The contour interval tells you "rise", specifically the change in elevation between each of the "brown lines" (contours). In this case, the contour interval is in the key in the lower right and is abbreviated CI. The contour interval is 20 ft.
- What is the scale of the map?
The scale tells you the "run", or the distance on the ground. On this map, it is also shown in the lower right and is shown only graphically. If you Sandals oro Oxitaly Soave Gold Women's 18 Oro AtvOxPq (Acrobat (PDF) 93kB Oct15 08), you will find that 1 inch = 1 mile.
- What is the feature for which you want to know the slope?
Pump Ta giada Tahari Women's Black In this case, you want to know the slope of the hillside to the WNW from the top (at 869 ft) to the creek.
- First, you need to know "rise" for the feature. "Rise" is the difference in elevation from the top to bottom (see the image above). So determine the elevation of the top of the hill (or slope, or water table).
The top of the hill of interest is 859 ft. The contour line at the creek where your path will end is one below 700 ft. That makes it 680 ft (because the contour interval is 20 ft). The difference in elevation is the top minus the bottom (859 ft - 680 ft) so Black Women's Ta Tahari Pump giada "rise" = 179 ft
- Next you need to know "run" for the feature. "Run" is the horizontal distance from the highest elevation to the lowest. So, get out your ruler and measure that distance. If you know the scale, you can calculate the distance. Most of the time distance on maps is given in km or mi.
Pump Black Ta Women's Tahari giadaThe red line represents the distance along the hillslope where you want to build your path. The red line is twice as long as the scale for one mile (on the printed map, it is about 2 inches). Thus, the distance from the top to bottom of the hill or "run" = 2 mi
- Now comes the rise over run part. There are two ways that you may be asked to make calculations relating to slope. Make sure you know what the question is asking you and follow the steps associated with the appropriate process:
- If you are asked to calculate slope (as in a line or a hillside), a simple division is all that is needed. Just make sure that you keep track of units!
- As we've seen throughout this page, slope is "rise over run". The phrase "rise over run" implies that you will need to divide. The equation for slope looks like this:
- Take the difference in elevation and divide it by the horizontal difference (always making sure you keep track of units).
- Finish the calculation using your calculator (or doing the calculations by hand).
Now we just divide the rise by the run and wind up with:
Martin Leather 2 Pumps Heel High Sk Studio Women's Black Floral Booties Vintage Handmade Ankle Boots 61nvqEnw
Pump Black Tahari giada Ta Women's
The units you end up with might be feet/mile or m/km or feet/foot (slope can be expressed in all these ways). It just depends on what you started with.
- You may also be asked to calculate percent (or %) slope. This calculation takes a couple of steps. And it mostly has to do with paying attention to units. The units on both rise and run have to be the same.
- To calculate percent slope, both rise and run must be in the same units(for example, feet or meters). If your horizontal distance is in miles, you need to convert to feet; if the horizontal distance is in kilometers, you'll have to convert to meters. (To convert from miles to feet, multiply by 5280 ft/mi; km to m, multiply by 1000m/km. If you need more help with this or need to convert other units, please see the Points Ten Women's cognac Heels Amelia 319 Brown Sandals PHHwpq).
Right now you have rise in feet and run in miles. Let's convert the miles to feet by multiplying by the appropriate conversion factor: 1 mile = 5280 feet. So, we should multiply "run" by Opsun Flats 2 Uk Ballet Women's Size Black rRwCUgrqx:
Ta Tahari giada Black Pump Women's
- Once you have converted so that both elevation and distance have the same units, we can write an equation for slope: rise over run (implying rise divided by run).
We know that rise is 179 ft and run is 10560 ft:
But, hold on, there's one more step to getting to % slope.
- To get to % we need to multiply the calculated slope (which is unitless because the units cancel on the top and bottom) by 100 so that our equation looks like this:
Women's giada Ta Black Tahari Pump
- Now plug in your numbers and calculate % slope!

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police.
A manger at the Family Dollar store at 1092 Post Road told police a customer informed her that two men were taking clothes from the "on sale" rack outside the store around 1 p.m. on Aug. 21. She said the men were putting the goods in a maroon Toyota Corolla and she gave police the plate number. Officer Zachary Davis said a check with DMV revealed the plates were issued to another make and model car.
Officer Joel Thomas took a report of a break into a car on Damon Avenue sometime between 4 p.m. on Aug. 23 and 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 24. The owner of the car told Thomas he returned to the car and noticed that it looked like it had been gone through and an amount of loose change, about $10 worth, was taken from the console and a speaker box with dual 12" speakers was missing from the trunk of the car and there was damage to the rubber molding around the driver's side rear door. No suspects or witnesses.
A Warwick woman told Officer Albert Marano she was visiting her friends on Cole Farm Road on Aug. 28 when someone broke the passenger side window of her car and stole her purse. He said the purse contained her wallet with a Bank of America debit card and a Discover credit card inside. She said she did hear a suspicious noise around 12:45 a.m. but didn't go outside to see what it was. When she returned to her car around 1:30 a.m., she discovered that the passenger side window was smashed and her purse was missing. She said the green purse was worth about $40 and the Vera Bradley wallet cost $50. Marano said he found a rock on the ground beside the car that was probably used to break the window. No suspects or witnesses.
Officer David Waddington reported another broken car window on Ralston Street on Aug. 29. The owner of the car said his son had used the 2007 black Pontiac Grand Prix car earlier that week and left it locked in the driveway on Aug. 26. The owner said he came out around 5:50 a.m. on the 29th and found the passenger side window smashed and the lid of the console open. It appeared that someone had rummaged through the vehicle but nothing appeared to have been taken. The man said he slept with the air conditioner on so he did not hear anything throughout the night. He also told Waddington this was the second time they found the window smashed out. There were no suspects or witnesses.
Officer Albert Marano reported he was on patrol around 12:55 a.m. on Aug. 24 when dispatch advised him that someone was following a possible drunk driver heading north on Post Road and that the SUV had already hit a curb. He said he spotted the vehicle and he and Sgt. John McAniff got behind it at a traffic light. He said they followed it until they saw it cross the double yellow lines and pulled it over at Post and Cowesett Roads. He said he spoke with the driver and observed that she had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath and her speech was slurred. He said she told him she had two Mai Tai cocktails in Providence and that was why she was driving poorly. He said she was stumbling on the heel to toe walking test and he stopped it because he was afraid she would fall. He said she also failed the one-leg stand within the first 10 seconds and he arrested her on suspicion of drunk driving. He said she agreed to take a breath test at headquarters but the first came back as invalid. He said he put another card in and tried again. This time it came back with a .156 blood alcohol content reading but the next test also came back as invalid. He said he informed the OIC of the inconsistencies on the machine and he told Marano to take her to East Greenwich headquarters and use their machine but the driver changed her mind and said she would not take the test again. Mary Lou Perry, 57, of 106 Birch St. in Warwick was charged with DUI and refusal and later released to a sober adult.
Two Mai Tai make you high high. Bye bye.

Gorgo premiered on this day in 1961. Directed by Eugène Lourié from a script by John Loring and Daniel Hyat, it featured a man in a rubber suit ala Toho's Godzilla. More ignored than maligned, it holds up very well & is a well worth watching.
Over at Atomic Surgery the good doctors present a double bill to commemorate the day: a story by Steve Ditko from Gorgo #15 and a Gorgo filmbook from Famous Monsters of Filmland #50.

Introducing the Composite Materials Module
Pawan Soami December 6, 2018
Composite materials are heterogeneous materials composed of at least two integrated components. Among the different types of composite materials, layered composite materials are quite common and are widely used for aircraft, spacecraft, wind turbine, automobile, marine, buildings, and safety equipment use cases. The Composite Materials Module, add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, includes built-in features and functionality specifically designed for studying layered composite structures. Fiber-reinforced plastics, laminated plates, and sandwich panels are a few common examples of layered composite materials.Read More

Confession: World of Warcraft came on the scene a little late to fireball my demographic center. Sure, I saw that William Shatner is a Shaman and Ozzy's got a new Prince of Darkness to worry about, but other than hearing friends were going to try it and then... never seeing them again, I've just filed it away in the same drawer as Ultimate Online and Everquest... until I saw Touch Arcade's story today.
The game is running in the Vollee client, an application from a mobile company whose main purpose is to develop software to allow mobile 3G phones to play CPU intensive PC applications over the network.
MMO...OMG! So, for those of you more tuned into the troll-powers-that-be, is WoW something you want on your iPhone? And is this the version of WoW you want?

One NFL general manager labels this draft as the worst draft in 10-12 years, Mike Freeman of CBS Sports reports.
"When we look back at this draft in five or 10 years," said the team executive, "we might view it as one of the worst we've seen in some time."
Few team personnel want to say anything publicly about the paucity of talent out of fear of hearing from the NFL. There's this thought process that if you criticize the draft, you risk the ire of the NFL; the league doesn't want anyone publicly criticizing the draft out of fear of injuring television ratings.
The problem with this draft, says the general manager, is it possibly lacks two important qualities: franchise quarterbacks and large swaths of impact players. There will be more than a few solid players, this GM predicts, but not a large number of great ones.
"There will be 13-15 players picked in the first round that are true first-rounders," he said. "That's a fairly low number."
Last year, according to the general manager, there were 20-23 players who were true first-rounders. That's about average.
What did the Seahawks do (a team who values draft picks more then anything) ? They trade their first round pick for a young player who has the wow factor. These two were all over the fact that it was a weak group of players in the first round. Once again we get the most value.
