Nudism in Singapore
They will appear in court again on April 30 to answer to the charges under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act.
I wonder sometimes, why is nudism wrong?
How does nudism offend someone else? Or rather, why is it considered offensive when a person sees the naked body of another person?
Nudism is non-sexual in most cases, so we are not talking about public sexual intercourse or other sexual acts, both of which have been given the "private" label of "sexual intimacy".
Yes, it is taboo even in most nudist communities for a man to walk around with an erection. But why are erections wrong or offensive? In what way do they offend the observer?
And again, in what way is it morally wrong for the two persons to be nude in the public? Imagine a 6-year old kid asking you this, "What did they do wrong?" How do we explain to the child, other than saying, "It's just wrong!" or "God said so!"
What is it in us that causes us to feel offended when we see nude people? How do we rationalise?
I think if I were to see a nude couple, I will probably be surprised and laugh, rather than feel revolted.
I think a lot of meanings have been ascribed to nudism, and in the end, resulted in stereotypes and myths dominating the issue/phenomenon.
Some say nudists or people who walk around in the buff, are perverts. The thing is, what is it about our minds, and our social conditioning and beliefs that have led us to rationalising and labelling them as perverts?
Onto shame. Do we feel more shame than the nudists folk, that we want to make them feel shameful about it as well?
I believe exhibitionism exists because of voyeurs, but most voyeurs prefer to be recognised as morally righteous.
Let's use the "think about the children" argument. In what way is nudism harmful to kids? Does it make children ask more questions and challenge our existing systems of beliefs, and see whether we are able to explain and justify each and every tenet? How can we prove that nudism is inherently wrong (on its own)?
I think that we are socialised into a world that strictly separates private and public. And to maintain this distinction, there are social and legal sanctions to regulate our behaviour. We use shame and fines/imprisonment to regulate. This naturalises nudism to be inherently immoral and wrong. So people, who are well-socialised, will be able to "naturally" develop the "correct" reactions towards nudism in different domains of life, private and public.
What is it about religion, pop culture, capitalism, patriarchy, etc. that makes us have an unfavourable view of nudism?

nudism is "wrong" to people who cannot come to terms with the fact that human beings are in fact animals, i think. to them, only animals who "have no shame" will "parade around" nude (except for paris hilton's chihuahua). the concept of "shame" is brought in because of the genitals and the sexual function of the genitals - sex is "shameful" because of civilisation. before there was civilisation, people just mated with each other as naturally as animals do. now because of "civilisation", a lot of elaborate rituals and processes have been inserted in between of two humans having sex - courtship, fashion, signalling, etc. in a way i think nudity is taboo because it disregards "civilisation". same reason why erections are taboo - they are too frank and to-the-point (hahaha). according to the rules of "civilisation", the civil way of showing your sexual attraction to someone is through symbolism and rituals (e.g. give flowers, give jewellery, ask out on dates, write poem).
just read the book i gave you!!!

I think it's a slippery slop kind of thinking that people might have about nudism. That if you allow nudism, then people will start asking for public sex to be decriminalize, and then you'll have all the drugs junkies asking the same, and the moral fabric of the society will be destroyed, and the basic family unit is damaged, and the list goes on until whole world die (probably because god decides that enough is enough and goes on to flood the world or send firestorm). Should I strike that off in case some fundamentalists think that I'm seditious? Ok. Academic freedom triumphs. If it helps in anyway, I'm also a Christian.
On another note, all justification of knowledge inevitably arise from subjective certainties aka intuitions, usually invoking god; these requires no aid from experience and are beyond the need of empirical (observational) testing.
From Locke to Heidegger, to Descartes, to Ludwig von Mises. At some point in their theories, philosophies, arguments, they will reason with 'apodictic' certainty. And that is something we have to live with because we can never have direct access to the reality.

If nudists are such perverts, then I pity those young children of native tribes in Africa or South America where the women walk about showing off their breasts or where men walking around with penis gourd and you can see their testicles. What will become of those children with soooo many perverts in their village including their own parents and siblings... I sometimes wonder.
I also sometimes wonder what happened Japanese children when they visit the naked festivals and see hundreds of men running around in loin cloth and a lot of them are naked. No wonder they tried to take over this half of the world, they are such perverts.

Great angle, the perception of being a pervert is in the mind of the beholder.
In this instance, you have already brought a different angle to this situation. Not everyone views this current situation as the couple being perverts.. (maybe i wrong?).
However, it happens that in Singapore, this is an offence, as with selling chewing gums.

"However, it happens that in Singapore, this is an offence, as with selling chewing gums."
Well it's time to challenge that outdated law, as is currently being done in Europe.
Nude is natural, once you get past the brainwashing, sorry; social conditioning and you feel the air and sun on your body there is no going back. If you've ever skinny dipped you'll know that it feels right, and a soggy chaffing costume is so very wrong.
Time for Singapore to establish the first nudist beach in Asia, be a trend setter, attract the buff dollar to the most vibrant and broad minded culture in Asia.
Go on, I dare you!

What does nudism have to do with 'patriarchy'?!
- April 23, 2009 at 9:30 PM
- Sam Ho said...
i never said it (patriarchy) was. was just asking hahahaha.
- April 23, 2009 at 9:51 PM
- Weiye said...
hmm.. it might.. have something to do with patriarchal's desire to keep women in check? that will probably explains why women who wear skimpy clothings (varying degrees of nakedness other than being fully covered) are criticized to be deserving of being molested/ raped, etc, while men can wear anything as long as the main areas are covered. Also explains why (some) men are okay with sleeping around but yet demand/ prefer a virginal wife.
But then what about male nudism? hmm...

because we are a 'conservative' society?

No one cares about skimpily-dressed men because almost no one but gay men look at men
Men like women
Women like women
Nobody likes men

i think there are straight-identified men who will sneak a peek at other men in skimpy outfits, just that they don't admit it.

it's obvious singapore will never have a beach where people can be naked .. you are so narrow minded ... grow up, join the real world
- June 10, 2009 at 1:11 PM
- Sam Ho said...
sdrghsr, was that in reference to pete knight's comment? haha.
with regards to the "real world", i think there's a lot more out there, a lot more to life than just what majority of urban dwellers deem to be "real".
no offence intended, but i find it difficult to reconcile the 1st sentence and the 2nd.
- June 10, 2009 at 1:38 PM
- Agagooga said...
There's also a lot more to life than what activists deem to be "real"
But yeah the whole "narrow minded" bit is mind boggling.
Maybe he meant "impractical".

There is one thing to fight child porn. There far too much of it around the world. Why would anyone hurt a child? Now to be naked in a natural way, there is nothing wrong with it. Unfortunately, when read, hear, or whatever about court cases regarding, we do not know all of what has been given. What I have learned, there is more to it then simple being naked in front of kids or whomever.

Religion exists only to control people, it is usually religious nutters who condemn nudity as sinful.
From the christian viewpoint, Adam and Eve were punished with shame for eating from the tree of knowledge. Many uptight christians claim that it is shameful to be naked, but I contend that nudists do not feel shame because their god has forgiven them, and anyone who is ashamed of their nakedness hasn't been forgiven by their god.
There is the concept of 'Secret Naturism' a concept practiced by many, including a large number in SE Asia. Find a quiet place to be naked as nature intended, feel the sun and air on all parts of your body. Skin is the largest organ of the human body, it is deprived of sensuary input by smothering it in clothes.
Nudity isn't a perversion, actions are the perversion, but simple nudity does not imply perverted actions, except in the minds of the guilty.

One can make that claim about most religious doctrines, and thus magick away parts of religion you dislike.

Top 20 Darkest Star Wars Moments
Star Wars has never really been considered a "dark" series of films, and we're not here to argue that point. We'd agree that the overall tone of the films is action/adventure first and foremost, but we do think that people fail to appreciate many of the saga's darker moments. We're certainly aware our list is going to create some heated debate, but that's the great thing about Star Wars... everyone's an expert!

List control sizing
Creating a List control
Using a label function
Displaying DataTips
Displaying ScrollTips
Vertically aligning text in List control rows
Setting variable row height and wrapping List text
Alternating row colors in a List control
Using a custom item renderer
Specifying an icon to the List control
List control user interaction
The List control
displays a vertical list of items. Its functionality is very similar
to that of the SELECT form element in HTML. It
often contains a vertical scroll bar that lets users access the
items in the list. An optional horizontal scroll bar lets users
view items when the full width of the list items is unlikely to
fit. The user can select one or more items from the list.
Flex also includes the Spark List control. When possible, Adobe
recommends that you use the Spark List control. For more information,
see Spark List control.
For complete reference
information, see the ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe
Flash Platform.
The following image shows a List control:
If you specify horizontalScrollPolicy="on",
the default width of a List control does not change; it is still
large enough to display the widest visible label. If you set horizontalScrollPolicy="on",
and specify a List control pixel width, you can use the measureWidthOfItems() method
to ensure that the scroll bar rightmost position corresponds to
the right edge of the content, as the following example shows. Notice
that the additional 5 pixels ensures that the rightmost character
of the text displays properly.
<mx:List id="li2"
width="200" horizontalScrollPolicy="on"
maxHorizontalScrollPosition="{li2.measureWidthOfItems() - li2.width +5}">
The preceding line ensures that the rightmost position of the
scroll bar puts the end of the longest measured list item near the
right edge of the List control. Using this technique, however, can
reduce application efficiency, so you might consider using explicit
sizes instead.
Lists, and all subclasses of the ListBase class,
determine their sizes when a style changes or the data provider
If you set a width property that is less than
the width of the longest label and specify the horizontalScrollPolicy="off",
labels that exceed the control width are clipped.
use the <mx:List> tag to define a List control.
Specify an id value if you intend to refer to a
component elsewhere in your MXML, either in another tag or in an
ActionScript block.
The List control
uses a list-based data provider. For more information, see Data providers and collections.
You specify the data for the List control by using the dataProvider property of
the control. However, because dataProvider is the
List control's default property, you do not have to specify a dataProvider child
tag of the <mx:List> tag. In the simplest
case for creating a static List control, you need only put <fx:String> tags
in the control body, because Flex also automatically interprets
the multiple tags as an Array of Strings, as the following example shows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dpcontrols/ListDataProvider.mxml -->
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
</s:Application>The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
Because the data in this example is inline static data, it is
not necessary to explicitly wrap it in an ArrayList or ArrayCollection
object. However, when working with data that could change, it is
always best to specify a list or collection explicitly; for more
information, see Data providers and collections.
The index
of items in the List control is zero-based, which means that values
are 0, 1, 2, ... , n - 1, where n is the total number
of items. The value of the item is its label text.
You typically use events to handle user interaction with a List
control. The following example code adds a handler for a change event
to the List control. Flex broadcasts a mx.ListEvent.CHANGE event
when the value of the control changes due to user interaction.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dpcontrols/ListChangeEvent.mxml -->
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
import flash.events.Event;
public function changeEvt(event:Event):void {
forChange.text=event.currentTarget.selectedItem.label + " " +
<mx:List width="35" change="changeEvt(event)">
<fx:Object label="AL" data="Montgomery"/>
<fx:Object label="AK" data="Juneau"/>
<fx:Object label="AR" data="Little Rock"/>
<mx:TextArea id="forChange" width="150"/>
</s:Application>The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
In this example,
you use two properties of the List control, selectedItem and selectedIndex,
in the event handler. Every change event updates
the TextArea control with the label of the selected item and the
item's index in the control.
The target property of the object passed to
the event handler contains a reference to the List control. You
can reference any control property by using the event's currentTarget property.
The currentTarget.selectedItem field contains a
copy of the selected item. If you populate the List control with
an Array of Strings, the currentTarget.selectedItem field
contains a String. If you populate it with an Array of Objects,
the currentTarget.selectedItem field contains the
Object that corresponds to the selected item, so, in this case, currentTarget.selectedItem.label refers
to the selected item's label field.
You can pass a label function to the List control to provide
logic that determines the text that appears in the control. The
label function must have the following signature:
The item parameter passed in by the Label
control contains the list item object. The function must return
the string to display in the List control.
The following example uses a function
to combine the values of the label and data fields
for each item for display in the List control:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dpcontrols/ListLabelFunction.mxml -->
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" >
public function myLabelFunc(item:Object):String {
return item.data + ", " + item.label;
<mx:ArrayList id="myDP">
<fx:Object label="AL" data="Montgomery"/>
<fx:Object label="AK" data="Juneau"/>
<fx:Object label="AR" data="Little Rock"/>
<mx:List dataProvider="{myDP}" labelFunction="myLabelFunc"/>
</s:Application>The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
DataTips are similar
to ToolTips, but display text when the mouse pointer hovers over
a row in a List control. Text in a List control that is longer than
the control width is clipped on the right side (or requires scrolling,
if the control has scroll bars). DataTips can solve that problem
by displaying all of the text, including the clipped text, when
the mouse pointer hovers over a cell. If you enable data tips, they
only appear for fields where the data is clipped. To display DataTips,
set the showDataTips property of a List control
to true.
The default behavior of the showDataTips property
is to display the label text. However, you can use the dataTipField and dataTipFunction properties
to determine what is displayed in the DataTip. The dataTipField property
behaves like the labelField property; it specifies
the name of the field in the data provider to use as the DataTip
for cells in the column. The dataTipFunction property
behaves like the labelFunction property; it specifies
the DataTip string to display for list items.
following example sets the showDataTips property
for a List control:
<mx:List id="myList" dataProvider="{myDP}" width="220" height="200" showDataTips="true"/>
This example creates the following List control:
use ScrollTips to give users context about where they are in a list
as they scroll through the list. The tips appear only when you scroll;
they don't appear if you only hover the mouse over the scroll bar.
ScrollTips are useful when live scrolling is disabled (the liveScrolling property
is false) so scrolling does not occur until you release the scroll
thumb. The default value of the showScrollTips property
is false.
The default behavior of the showScrollTips property
is to display the index number of the top visible item. You can
use the scrollTipFunction property to determine
what is displayed in the ScrollTip. The scrollTipFunction property
behaves like the labelFunction property; it specifies
the ScrollTip string to display for list items. You should avoid
going to the server to fill in a ScrollTip.
following example sets the showScrollTips and scrollTipFunction properties
of a HorizontalList control, which shares many of the same properties
and methods as the standard List control; for more information about
the HorizontalList control, see MX HorizontalList control. The scrollTipFunction property
specifies a function that gets the value of the description property
of the current list item.
<mx:HorizontalList id="list" dataProvider="{album.photo}" width="100%"
itemRenderer="Thumbnail" columnWidth="108" height="100"
selectionColor="#FFCC00" liveScrolling="false" showScrollTips="true"
This code produces the following HorizontalList control:
You can use the verticalAlign style to
vertically align text at the top, middle, or bottom of a List row.
The default value is top. You can also specify
a value of middle or bottom.
The following
example sets the verticalAlign property for a List
control to bottom:
<mx:List id="myList" dataProvider="{myDP}"
width="220" height="200"
You can use the variableRowHeight property
to make the height of List control rows variable based on their
content. The default value is false. If you set
the variableRowHeight property to true,
the rowHeight property is ignored and the rowCount property
is read-only.
The following
example sets the variableRowHeight property for
a List control to true:
<mx:List id="myList" dataProvider="{myDP}"
width="220" height="200"
You can use the wordWrap property in combination
with the variableRowHeight property to wrap text
to multiple lines when it exceeds the width of a List row.
The following
example sets the wordWrap and variableRowHeight properties
to true:
<mx:List id="myList" dataProvider="{myDP}"
width="220" height="200"
variableRowHeight="true" wordWrap="true"/>
This code produces the following List control:
can use the alternatingItemColors style property
to specify an Array that defines the color of each row in the List
control. The Array must contain two or more colors. After using
all the entries in the Array, the List control repeats the color
The following example defines an Array with two entries, #66FFFF
for light blue and #33CCCC for a blue-gray. Therefore, the rows
of the List control alternate between these two colors. If you specify
a three-color array, the rows alternate among the three colors,
and so on.
<mx:List alternatingItemColors="[#66FFFF, #33CCCC]".../>
An item renderer is the object that displays a List control's
data items. The simplest way to use a custom item renderer is to
specify an MXML component as the value of the itemRenderer property.
When you use an MXML component as a item renderer, it can contain
multiple levels of containers and controls. You can also use an
ActionScript class as a custom item renderer. For detailed information
on custom item renderers, see MX item renderers and item editors
The following
example sets the itemRenderer property to an MXML component
named FancyCellRenderer. It also sets the variableRowHeight property
to true because the MXML component exceeds the
default row height:
<mx:List id="myList1" dataProvider="{myDP}"
width="220" height="200"
can specify an icon to display with each List item, as the following
example shows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dpcontrols/ListIcon.mxml -->
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
public var iconSymbol1:Class;
public var iconSymbol2:Class;
<mx:List iconField="myIcon">
<fx:Object label="AL" data="Montgomery" myIcon="iconSymbol1"/>
<fx:Object label="AK" data="Juneau" myIcon="iconSymbol2"/>
<fx:Object label="AR" data="Little Rock" myIcon="iconSymbol1"/>
</s:Application>The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
In this
example, you use the iconField property to specify
the field of each item containing the icon. You use the Embed metadata
to import the icons, and then reference them in the List control
You can also use the iconFunction property to
specify a function that determines the icon, similar to the way
that you can use the labelFunction property to
specify a function that determines the label text. The icon function must
have the following signature:
The item parameter passed in by the List
control contains the list item object. The function must return
the icon class to display in the List control.
The following example shows a List control that uses the iconFunction property
to determine the icon to display for each item in the list:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dpcontrols/ListIconFunction.mxml -->
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
// Embed icons.
public var pavementSymbol:Class;
public var normalSymbol:Class;
// Define data provider.
private var myDP: Array;
private function initList():void {
myDP = [
{Artist:'Pavement', Album:'Slanted and Enchanted', Price:11.99},
{Artist:'Pavarotti', Album:'Twilight', Price:11.99},
{Artist:'Other', Album:'Other', Price:5.99}];
list1.dataProvider = myDP;
// Determine icon based on artist. Pavement gets a special icon.
private function myiconfunction(item:Object):Class {
var type:String = item.Artist;
if (type == "Pavement") {
return pavementSymbol;
return normalSymbol;
<mx:VBox >
<mx:List id="list1"
iconFunction="myiconfunction" />
</s:Application>The executing SWF file for the previous example is shown below:
user clicks individual list items to select them, and holds down
the Control and Shift keys while clicking to select multiple items.
(You must set the allowMultipleSelection property
to true to allow multiple selection.)
All mouse or keyboard selections broadcast a change event.
For mouse interactions, the List control broadcasts this event when
the mouse button is released.
If you set the allowDragSelection property to true,
the control scrolls up or down when the user presses the mouse button
over the one or more rows, holds the mouse button down, drags the
mouse outside the control, and then moves the mouse up and down.
A List control shows the number of records that fit in the display.
Paging down through the data displayed by a 10-line List control
shows records 0-10, 9-18, 18-27, and so on, with one line overlapping
from one page to the next.
List control has the following keyboard navigation features:
Up Arrow
Moves selection up one item.
Down Arrow
Moves selection down one item.
Page Up
Moves selection up one page.
Page Down
Moves selection down one page.
Moves selection to the top of the list.
Moves selection to the bottom of the list.
Alphanumeric keys
Jumps to the next item with a label that
begins with the character typed.
Toggle key. Allows for multiple (noncontiguous)
selection and deselection. Works with key presses, click selection,
and drag selection.
Contiguous selection key. Allows for contiguous
selections. Works with key presses, click selection, and drag selection.

The real deal or another 'chancer?'
In many peoples eyes Rob Lloyd is/was a 'chancer' that never really backed up his claims - it is what, 6/7-months and he has still not offered up anything tangible to suggest that his group, with his 'mystery backer', is what you would call 'the real deal'...
Today's 'revelations' in The News that we have another 'potential buyer' working on a deal in the form of 21-year-old Tom Lever will, inevitably, be met with a 'sceptical' reaction.
Although it is 'said' that he has offered up more to back his claims in a week than Lloyd has, really, in the entire time he has been 'talking' about taking over yet still is not really satisfying those that he has to.
Apparently £16.2m has been offered to Balram Chainrai to 'buy him out' before his scheduled date of takeover, around 9th September, with the land around Fratton also intended to be purchased - making a combined deal of £30m...
A 'financial agreement with the lenders' has been agreed, so basically money loaned and then mortgaged against us it would 'seem' is the order of the day here? Whilst in this day and age owners are not very 'charitable' allowing loans to build up against Portsmouth Football Clubs name IS NOT something that we can allow to happen again, we will just end up going round in circles again if we do - although this time there may well be an end, but not a good one.
Maybe this is not the case here though?
To be fair to Lever I guess we have to 'give him a chance' to see what he comes up with, but I would not hold my breath, and my initial reaction - maybe wrongly so - is this 'seems' more a case of 'chancer' than 'real deal' again, so I cannot see anything other than a Chainrai takeover still being the end product.
All I know is that we just need an owner that will do the best things for Portsmouth Football Club, and do things the right way.

Crikey! My ferret has just tripped over the computer
You would not have thought working in an IT department could be hazardous. But according to cableorganiser.com which specialises in office safety, they are a potential death trap. Cables and wires are public enemy number one, "poised and ready to trip all who pass". In fact, slips, trips and falls are second only to motor accidents as the greatest cause of workplace fatalities.
With all this danger about, you might guess it would be safer to work from home. Guess again. The mere act of setting up a computer at home could "put small children and common household animals like cats, dogs, rabbits and ferrets, in severe danger", we are told. The problem is that the little critters find chewing IT cables irresistible.
Better take up a safer profession, like skydiving, wrestling crocodiles, or swimming with stingrays.
Like omigod, now there's a mobile cure for acne
Mobile phones - we need a new name for them, and fast. They are already doing things undreamt of even by that original mobile-user, Star Trek's Captain Kirk, and it is only going to get worse.
A recent US patent describes a phone which is covered in light panels that can emit UV light to simulate sunlight for sufferers of seasonal affective disorder. And as if that were not enough, the light-emitting "phone" is also designed to be capable of treating acne.
Downtime reckons it sounds like a winner: most spotty, depressed teenagers already cannot live without their mobiles, so there should be a ready market for this little beauty.

Addressing computer scientists at the University of Wales Swansea, Pearson is predicting that "smart yoghurt" will be with us in 20 years. What is that, you ask? Yoghurt that tastes however you want it to taste, Willy Wonka-style? Well, no, actually. He is talking about linkable "electronic" bacteria - and it could mean the end of security as we know it.
In Pearson's alarmist world of the future, these smart bacteria will be able to act like invisible computers. "All I will have to do is let some bacteria into your building. They float through the air conditioning system, land on your keyboard, you cannot see them, you do not know they are there. They record every keystroke and report it back to me. As if that is not enough, they could also be listening to what you are talking about, and even directly interface with your brain if necessary, and they can certainly float in through the vents on your PC and access the chips."
Maybe BT needs to look closer to home for now. How about getting Downtime's broadband connection working reliably?

I can truthfully say, I am not the only lifeguard upset with the recent changes that have occurred at the pool, and we're not the only ones on campus have been affected.
On Friday, March 29, work-study students for the Edwards Weight and Conditioning room, the Meek Aquatic Center and Edwards Gym received an email regarding the issue of their work hours being cut and/or eliminated.
The desk attendant positions for the Meek and Edwards' lobby were fully eliminated or "let go" effective April 1 and the hours for lifeguards and weight room staff had their hours cut back, as the hours of those facilities were also cut.
Rumor has it and several Meek and Edwards' staff members have been told that cuts were being made because the school lacked resources (i.e. money) to continue operating the facilities as they had been.
Basically it cost the school more to pay us than it did to keep the facility open.
I know as a lifeguard we received a Google Doc to sign up for hours on the newly revised schedule and there was a mad rush to get hours. Hours were assigned based on seniority working at the pool, so only a few freshman lifeguards made the cut. There were even a few junior and sophomore lifeguards who just recently started working at the pool this year, so they didn't make the cut either.
I have been fortunate to have been working as a lifeguard since I stepped foot on campus my freshman year three years ago, so I was not badly affected.
I did have my hours cut down from 12 hours a week to seven hours a week. Some were not as lucky. Some lifeguards went from working 10 or more hours a week to less than five hours a week.
The reason there is a shortage of money is because the new weight room desk attendants are paid out of the same budget the lifeguards and Meek and Edwards's desk attendants are paid out of.
I am not aware how many total weight room attendants there are, but I have noticed when I go there are two to three attendants at a time. Most would say they don't do much, and I do not know how much they're paid per hour.
But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, for now, because I know, as a lifeguard, my position has been criticized for being easy, overpaid and not having to do much; then again, I am a trained and certified professional rescuer.
I can't help it that there are not many people at the pool sometimes and I am being paid to do homework, though there are times where so much is going on we sit in the chair for most of the shift.
I feel as though the school can help how it pays the workers for two facilities. The weight room never had a single staff member on hand, let alone three. When the school renovated the weight room and created new positions—initially great for the students—the administration, Student Employment and the Athletic Department should have determined where they plan on getting money to pay these workers.
If they're just going to combine budgets, there's nothing wrong with that, but they should of at least made sure they had the money to pay the students to work the hours they originally signed up for and not force them to change it mid-module.
I know I'm not aware of all the details of this situation, which leaves me a little confused; but aren't most work-study students paid through the federal government? Most federal work-study grants pay $1,500 to $2,500 a year.
Some feel it's rare that students reach his or her limit, but some do, which is why there shouldn't really be much of a budget issue.
If a student doesn't earn his or her full federal work-study money, that's the end of it—it cannot be held for the future and the school can't use it for other reasons.
There are a lot of work-study students who rely on that money to help pay for their tuition, living expenses and other costs that arise (supply fees, parking permits, fraternity or sorority dues, etc.). For some it is spending money, but for many it is need.
The administration and the Athletic Department are—or should be—responsible for determining a budget and system that is reliable throughout the year and does not leave students jobless with a month of school left.

The Citroen DS3 Cabrio has been officially presented to the public for the first time during the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
After it was teased just earlier this month and then eventually revealed in some official images, the Citroen DS3 Cabrio is being placed into the spotlights once again, this time with the French based automaker bringing it to the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The soft top of the Citroen DS3 Cabrio seems to be inspired by the one used on the 500C by Fiat and, with the roof down, the edges and side windows will remain in their place.
The car manufacturer says that the DS3 Cabrio is only 25 kg heavier than the regular version and the model is also getting the same insulation as the hatchback. Another advantage is that the DS3 Cabrio can pull its roof down and up again at speeds up to 120 km/h, and the action takes 16 seconds. In the cabin, the model is still keeping that glamour style, which made its solid roof brother popular and loved, with the only modification being the button which is operating the roof near the roof lights. The DS3 Cabrio will get the same engines as the hatchback, and the trim levels will also be shared between the two. Additional details on the new DS3 version, the drop top, will be announced later on this year, close to its launch.

Bible: 1 Corinthians 7:1-9
Celibacy and Marriage
7:1 Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." 1 7:2 But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with 2 his own wife and each woman with 3 her own husband. 7:3 A husband should give to his wife her sexual rights, 4 and likewise a wife to her husband. 7:4 It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife. 7:5 Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. 5 Then resume your relationship, 6 so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 7:6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7:7 I wish that everyone was as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one this way, another that.
7:8 To the unmarried and widows I say that it is best for them to remain as I am. 7:9 But if they do not have self-control, let them get married. For it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire. 7

It is with relief that the IUSY welcomes the ceasefire announced by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA).Yet, it is shocking and disturbing to find the Myanmarese government snubbing the possibility of a reciprocation. IUSY sternly calls for an immediate end of any violence, especially on the innocent and young civilians.
This seemingly one sided ceasefire will hopefully bring the month-long insurgency in the Rakhine State of Myanmar to a temporary trough. This is reportedly to allow for aid and humanitarian assistance to be channeled to the thousands in need. IUSY calls for the Myanmar government to reconsider reciprocating the ceasefire for the sake of ordinary Myanmarese of all ethnicities and religions, including the Rohingya people.
The violent slaughter that took place in Myanmar's Rakhine state, especially of the Rohingya people, is abhorrent and must immediately cease. For years, the Rohingya people have been systematically repressed and abused. Since the attack on 25th August, when the Myanmarese Government activated its military forces to curb the influence of the ARSA, thousands have fled to Bangladesh, while thousands of those stuck in Rakhine have been massacred.
The Rohingya humanitarian crisis is not one isolated within Myanmar, but a regional one with its toxicity over spilling far and wide across South-east Asia. The killings and continued alienation of the Rohingya people has profoundly far-reaching political, social and/or economic implications, felt even in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary actions; 'the ASEAN way' of non-interference has proven futile in ensuring national challenges remain within national borders. ASEAN governments should start bilaterally engaging the Myanmar government in stating a clear demand for the state-sponsored violence to immediately stop. No government should be silent when atrocities are being committed against the innocent and helpless civilians.
Whilst marches and rallies in solidarity of those affected have the utmost support from the IUSY, The respective Foreign Ministries should exercise leadership, and immediately step up several gears in mobilising their leaders and leverages within the UN, especially during the General Assembly on 19 September. These countries should also use its influence within the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (ASEAN ICHR) to urge Myanmar and its government to put an immediate stop to the senseless killings.
IUSY is mindful of Bangladesh's acceptance of Rohingya refugees.
According to the UNHCR, before the recent refugee influx, there were already up to 500,000 undocumented refugees in Bangladesh. The situation is precarious and has reportedly reached a "breaking point". Staff capacity and resources are insufficient. With the overflowing camps unable to accommodate the new arrivals, thousands are now cooped up under emergency tents, in makeshift camps or lying out in the open. An adequate supply for all refugees can no longer be ensured. The current floods in the area are complicating the situation even further. To address the urgent needs, the government has planned to set up new camps and if necessary to expand already existing ones.
For the Bangladeshi government, one of the most disconcerting issues is religious extremism and its instrumentalisation and victimization of refugees (i.e. refugees being recruited and trained by local extremists). The Bangladeshi government has called on the international community for immediate support – namely to put pressure on the Myanmar government to recognise Rohingyas as citizens. IUSY urges the international community to also channel aid to the Bangladeshi government to alleviate the pressures of the current crisis.
We commend Indonesia for having taken on an active role in assisting the Rohingya people, it's time that Malaysia does her share in the name of humanity. As a human race, we must unite in actively condemning those who have and are perpetrating any form of violence towards any group of people, regardless of race or religion. Hatred, oppression, and violence should not have a place in any country, and all self-proclaimed government should ensure that they stands tall and live up to their reputation as champions of human rights.
IUSY does not only condone any act of violence committed by any groups or governments. We also condemn the words and actions of those fanning the flames of hatred and polarisation, by accrediting the violent actions of a few to an entire ethnic group and/or the believers of an entire faith. Our only concern is for the safety and well-being of civilians regardless of race or religion.
IUSY joins the international community's call to end the senseless killings of the Rohingya people, and other innocent civilians caught up in this bloody conflict in Myanmar and for the latter's government to stop the state-sanctioned military attack in Rakhine and instead focus its efforts in ensuring the safety of the survivors of the massacre.
In the interest of upholding the truth, with the cooperation of the Progressive Alliance, IUSY have compiled some well-researched key findings and verified facts.
The Rohingya in Myanmar have been for years, and continue to live in dire conditions favourable to extremism. The Rohingya are probably one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. The conflict between the group and the Myanmar government has historic, religious and ethnic roots; though the current conflict is largely a military-led expulsion resulted by a militant group claiming to represent the entire ethnicity. It is exacerbated by systematic discrimination and the portrayal of the group as an economic burden as well as a security risk. As a result, an increasing number of Rohingyas have fled to Bangladesh.
Reliable information is scarce. As of now, international journalists have had no access to the area. Therefore, any facts and footage have to be treated with extreme caution. The unprecedented solidarity wave in the Muslim world means that a lot of fake footage is spreading through social media. Other footages and pictures depicting Buddhists being treated violently are used by those countering that narrative. There is a spiral of hatred and violent propaganda that is driving a fabricated Rohingya versus Buddhist narrative that is growing rampantly.
Militant Extremism by a small minority of Rohingya is real. It is unclear to what extent the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) is supported by Rohingya civilians. But they have proven their capability to stage coordinated attacks, spread propaganda and recruit fighters. ARSA's activities could indicate a renewed Islamic militancy among Rohingyas. However, as ARSA is ill-equipped and primitively armed, the excessive counteractions of the Burmese Army might either eradicate the group or trigger a counter propaganda campaign leading to a surge in recruits.
Militant Nationalism and religious hatred towards Muslims and Rohingya stoked by some small groups of Buddhist monks is equally real. Though not entirely related to this bout of violence, it is sure to capitalise on it to further fan the fires of fear and polarisation. U Wirathu is a firebrand Bhuddist monk, known to some international media as the 'face of Buddhist terror' – he is synonymous with the Organization for the Protection of Race and Religion (Ma Ba Tha) which is well known for their provocative anti-Islam pronouncement. U Thuzana is a charismatic monk in the state of Karen linked with armed Democratic Buddhist Karen Army (DKBA). The alignment of U Wirathu and U Thuzana through anti-Muslim Buddhist activism is heightening religious tensions across the country – including with Christians. U Thuzana and his armed men will capitalize on renewed conflict in Rakhine in the service of their own politico-religious projects. The rising confluence of armed groups and nationally prominent Buddhist monk extremists introduces a disturbing new dynamic to Myanmar's religious-political conflicts that, despite official efforts to curb the Ma Ba Tha and its message of hate, seem likely to get worse before they get better.
An international commission led by Kofi Annan recently published a report on the situation. Their main finding is that without fixing the 1982 citizenship law and even bringing back Rohingyas to Myanmar (as happened after previous clashes with international support) would not prevent but merely delay the next cycle of violence.
Myanmar's transition from military dictatorship to democracy is far from over. The country is dealing with a transition to civilian rule, a market economy, functioning statehood and bureaucracy, open society, capitalist consumerism and sustainable peace. The military elites are still the strongest political force. Aung San Suu Kyi focuses on consolidating domestic support and evades any conflict with the military establishment.
Some 290.000 Rohingya have arrived in Bangladesh since 25 August, according to a spokesman for the UN refugee agency. Around 27.000 Buddhists and Hindus have also been displaced by ARSA attacks. Fear and violence stalk Rakhine state as communities turn on each other and villages continue to be set alight.
The situation in the Bangladesh Rohingya camps has reached a breaking point. Resources and staff are insufficient. Thousands are living in emergency tents, makeshift camps or in the open. Without international support, a humanitarian catastrophe will ensue.
In view of the above, the IUSY urgently calls for:
- Immediate cessation of military activities in Northern Rakhine
- Immediate re-admission of UN Agencies and INGOs into the crisis area
- Immediate additional funding to first responders and humanitarian workers in Bangladesh
- Access of the UNHCR fact-finding mission to Rakhine
- Continued dialogue between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Setting up of a Joint Border Management
- Admission of international press to cover the situation in Northern Rakhine
- International Conference on the proposals of the Advisory Commission on the Rakhine State
- International Conference on Regional Implications of the Kofi Annan report by receiving cross-partisan delegations from regional countries esp. Bangladesh, but also India, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia.
- A global solidarity action on social media. Leaders or activists holding placard with hashtag #freedom4rohingya #justice4rohingya #solidarity4rohingya

At first glance, it sure looked like Glee's Rachel and Kurt picked the wrong night to do a diva-off against Taylor Swift .
Just days after Swift led Saturday Night Live to its best ratings of the season, the singing sensation helped the Country Music Association Awards to its biggest audience in four years.
The ABC telecast, featuring big wins by Swift, Swift, Swift and Swift, averaged nearly 17 million viewers, easily winning Wednesday's prime-time race.
So, was it curtains for Glee, after all?
Fox's high-school musical defied gravity, to borrow a Wicked reference, building on its previous, pre-World Series episode. At 9 p.m., Glee (7.3 million estimated viewers) tied for a solid second, with CBS' Criminal Minds, among the demographically desirable.
Still, it was Laurence Fishburne who gave Swift the most push back.
The CSI star's CSI: NY stopover boosted the spinoff by nearly 2 million viewers (from 12 million viewers last week to an estimated 13.9 million last night), and helped the 10 p.m. drama to the night's best numbers.
After Swift, of course.

DermOrganic Skin Care Reviews
2 Apr
If you read my previous DermOrganic reviews then you know that they are my absolute favorite hair care line. In fact, I must admit that I've turned into somewhat of a hoarder and have sever bottles of their products in my bath, vanity and makeup dresser. So of course when I heard about their skin care products I couldn't wait to try them out. As it turns out, I didn't have to wait to long for my opportunity. I got to meet some of their staff at a beauty event (and believe me when I say that I gushed like a star struck loony) and they offered me some of their more popular skin care products to try out.
Company Description- 'A basic and uncomplicated approach to healthful, youthful skin containing all the nutritive benefits of the argan fruit, but without the pore-clogging oil. Our regimen is based on the simple idea that less is more. Only the finest, most essential, and fully researched ingredients go into our formulas. Nothing else. The results are youthful-looking skin every day'.
DermOrganic Skin Care Reviews
I got to try the Pure Argan Oil, the Soapless Facial Cleanser, the Facial Moisturizer and the Hand And Body Moisture Lotion. There are a few things that I love about all of these products as a whole.
- They smell heavenly. The Pure Oil has a slightly sweet smell but the moisturizers smell like an orange. However, if you're not a fragrance person then you'll be happy to know that the scents last for about a minute before they disappear.
- They are oil free.
- They are fragrance free.
- They are made with mostly certified organic ingredients.
- All of these DermOrganic skin care products are vegan.
- They are all made with Argan extract.
- No animal testing.
- No artificial preservatives.
- Sulfate free, paraben free, propylene glycolic free and glutton free.
DermOrganic Pure Argan Oil
The Pure Argan Oil is by far my absolute favorite product in this line. I have severely dry skin because I wear gloves at work every day and I found that after applying the oil three times a day for one week my hands felt smooth and hydrated. Not only does it work wonders in softening the skin but it's also a great smoothing tool for the hair. It helps to make my locks shiny and reduces frizz by an easy 98%.
DermOrganic Soapless Facial Cleanser
The cleanser makes my skin feel clean and refreshed. It removes all traces of dirt and makeup while moisturizing it. Best of all. it's sensitive enough that it can be used around the eye area.
DermOrganic Facial Moisturizer
Coming out of a icy cold winter I feel like the moisturizer is my first step in getting back my beautiful, healthy looking skin that I've had to work like a madwoman to maintain lately. Although it's slightly on the thicker side, it absorbs quickly and feels very light on my skin. I'm looking forward to using this moisturizer throughout the better part of the spring and summer.
DermOrganic Hands And Body Moisture Lotion
My dry skin drank up the DermOrganic moisturizer quickly. While it works to nourish my skin it doesn't feel heavy at all allowing my skin to breathe. It's another DermOrganic skin care product that I plan on using for a while.
Something that caught my attention was the ingredients. With the exception of the DermOrganic Pure Oil, all of the skin care products I tried have the same base ingredients. These ingredients include: Aloe Leaf Juice, Rice Amino Acids, Pomegranate Sterols, Argan Seed Extract, Bamboo Leaf Extract, Cucumber Extract, Matricaria Extract, Orange Peel Extract, Willow Bark Extract, Lavender Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Sunflower Seed Extract and Yuzu Extract. Yuzu extract contains trace amounts of Gardenia, Frangipani, Tuberose, Jasmine, Vanilla, Apricot, Lavender, Apple, Ambrette, Clove, Orange, Ginger and Cardamom extracts.
Once again DermOrganic blew away my expectations. I can't think of one bad thing to say about their products or the results that they provide. I'm definitely a lifelong fan.
Learn more about all of these products at DermOrganic.com
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Pardon my snark, but what does Superman really know about pedagogy? Really, I'm not sure why Davis Guggenheim, John Legend, Bill Gates, Michelle Rhee, or anyone else think this superhero should be the face of education reform when a) he probably wants nothing to do with this mess b) kids aren't asking to be "saved" for an episode c) Lex Luther has more in common with the aforementioned club than Superman does in regards to educational policy, and d) he's fictional, much like the reform these guys promise. For that matter, I don't see Superman ever teaching other kids how to be Supermen and women in their own right to empower their communities so he doesn't have to run around like a madman wondering where the next disaster might occur. Plus, I'm pretty sure Superman is equal parts community non-profit organization as much as superhero, i.e. I'm pretty sure he makes his money off the public good. That side-job at the paper doesn't make ends meet.
Plus, I can't imagine that teacher prep colleges work towards building Superman from all of us. Superman is a one-dimensional demigod whereas teachers are required to be multi-dimensional humans. Teachers are people who don't get celebrated in the public, but in private quarters, in pair-like conversations, and places where the public has enough compassion to remember that teacher.
Then again, I'm an alien, and I got a school to leap in a single bound tomorrow.
Jose, who finds this top-heavy conversation without any teachers, parents, or kids really bizarro …

Dreams of Morocco
Let's take a little trip today, shall we? Around the world perhaps? To a place buried in the sand, but steeped in culture and history. A place where the landscape is stark, but the people are colorful and so are their creations. Where nomads wander and converge and deal and trade. Let's take a trip to Morocco.
Colors, textures and pattern are all integral pieces of Moroccan design. Glass, ceramic, textile, wood, paint, dye, metal, and leather are all incorporated in these creations, and the more colors the better!
Moroccan textiles are absolutely gorgeous. They are known for their rugs, pillows, poufs and tapestries.
Color doesn't always characterize Moroccan style though, sometimes it is pure and white, fresh and inviting. Exactly what you crave when you're in the Sahara desert!
I love the mix of materials in these poufs, look at the seashells inlaid into the tops of some of them! Beads and sequins are often hand sewn onto these beauties.
Lights and lanterns are also well known items in Moroccan design. They are generally made from glass and metal, and are all different shapes and sizes. Aren't they beautiful?
Inlaid furniture and mirrors are another characteristic element of Moroccan style. Traditionally done by hand, these pieces are always stunning and one of a kind!
I hope you enjoyed our trip abroad today! For more global inspiration, follow us on Pinterest! You can also like us on Facebook to have daily design inspiration sent straight to your wall! Or, if you are in the Steamboat area, come visit our showroom to see the Moroccan and Moroccan inspired pieces that we have in stock!

With a classic monochromatic color palette and wrinkled leather texture, Saberi retains the elements he is known for. This season, he also chose to include modern suit silhouettes, a few smart pleated trousers, and minimal stand-collar jackets. Cropped hair, short beanies, gum soles, and backpacks also made a showing as homages to military styles. Interestingly, the technical parkas showcased exterior lined seams, imbuing the garments with a sense of structure and a Brutalist attitude towards exposed construction. However, Saberi's classical influences didn't prevent heavy innovation. His overcoats showcased asymmetric paneling and shorts were deconstructed into paneled pieces that swept dynamically with the models' strides—elements that brought a chaotic edge to an otherwise groomed collection.
Through impeccable tailoring and the perfect balance of historic reinterpretation and deconstruction, Boris Bidjan Saberi presents us with a fresh take on the dark urban uniform.
Watch the entire show here.

text: The British Library The British Library http://sounds.bl.uk/JISC ASR IPR STATUS LIST.xls Stylistic continuity- musical examples for paper: We! Majola. C811/102 This recording is a part of a collection of musical examples which Rycroft has taken from his field recordings to accompany his paper on continuity in Zulu music (Rycroft, D. 1977. 'Stylistic continuity in Zulu Town Music'. In Essays for a Humanist an Offering to Klaus Wachsmann. New York: The Town House Press, pp. 216-260). This is a dubbing of a recoridng made in 1964. This is a Zulu trench-digging song. Work songs are sung to make the heavy manual labour more bearable for the worker. The song is in a 'call-and-response' form which characterises many indigenous Zulu songs. The leader calls a refrain and the chorus responds in unison. The phrase sung by the chorus is much more repetitive than the flexible solo part of the song leader. After the second phrase sung by the leader, the chorus bring down their pickaxes to the ground. The sound of the pickaxes hitting the earth is percussive, and plays an important rhythmic role in the song. The song is cyclical, and the parts of the leader and chorus overlap each other. The leader calls before the chorus have finished their repetitive phrase, in such a way the song seems endless. For more information on work songs and a musical transcription of 'We Majola' refer to Rycroft, D., 1997, Music in Southern Africa: The Music of the Zulu and their Neighbours, London, BBC Radio for Schools.

A friend told me they heard on the local radio news this morning that Mexican authorities gave the resort a deadline of noon today to produce some documents (I imagine to demonstrate safety compliance) or the whole resort would be shut down.
Now I don't know if my friend understood correctly (she is intelligent which is why I'm giving it some credibility) but I've been trying to find any word of this online but all news articles in google (on the first several pages at least) related to the incident are dated earlier and therefore I haven't been able to confirm whether this is true. Even if my friend understood correctly perhaps the radio news was not credible.
Has anyone heard of this?
I was just about to make my final payment today but now would like to wait a few days to try to see if this is true or not, just in case I end up making payment and the resort closes down...

Want to save money? Check out the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour
By KBB Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.9
The 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour joins a growing list of vehicles that are not quite wagon yet not fully crossover SUV (think Subaru Outback and BMW X6). Sharing the same architecture as the venerable Accord, the Accord Crosstour offers more ground clearance, a larger cargo hold and available all-wheel drive. Although the sloping rear severely cuts into the cargo holds ability to carry taller items, the Accord Crosstour is still a competent alternative to the Accord Sedan, providing all the attention to detail, interior comfort and fuel economy expected of a car carrying the Accord nameplate. If you can get past the Accord Crosstour's polarizing styling and somewhat lofty entry price, the car makes a viable alternative to bulky and fuel-thirsty SUVs.
If you're looking for sedan-like comfort in a vehicle that can handily tackle six-inch snow drifts as easily as it swallows a week's worth of camping gear, the Accord Crosstour deserves a spot on your list.
If ample cargo and passenger room, a four-cylinder engine and a starting price under $30,000 are high on your list of shopping criteria, then a Subaru Outback or Toyota Venza might prove more appealing.
For 2011, the most frequently used climate control buttons have been relocated to the left side of the control stack, closer to the driver.
Given the Crosstour's Accord roots, one might expect the big wagon to behave very much like its sedan sibling; and one would be correct. On the open road, the Accord...
... Crosstour delivers the same engaging driving dynamics for which the Honda Accord is known. With instantaneous throttle response, tight steering and nimble handling, it's easy to forget about the extra metal in the rear, or that the Accord Crosstour weighs almost 4,000 pounds. Thanks to Honda's Active Sound Control System, the overall ride is comfortable and quiet. The car's tall ride height gives the driver a commanding view of the road, and although rear visibility is good, even through the double-tiered rear glass, the addition of the rearview camera makes parking in tight lots and spaces much easier.
Hidden Removable Utility Box
Adding 1.9 cubic-feet of space to the rear cargo area, the removable utility box is made of plastic and easily washable; perfect for items that would otherwise be messy in the main compartment.
Real Time 4WD
The Real Time 4WD system lets the Accord Crosstour to be more than just a grocery hauler, allowing it to tread safely regardless of weather.
From the front seats, there's little to differentiate the Accord Crosstour from the Accord Sedan. The two share the same interior, dash and console, as well as audio and navigation options. Other interior highlights include wood trim on the dash and door panels, one-touch release levers that easily fold down the rear seats and softer, premium-feeling leather seating that impart an Acura-level feel. Gaze rearward, however, and the Accord Crosstour opens up a whole new bag of tricks. The rear end has a more functional wagon-like cargo area providing 25.7 cubic-feet with the rear seats up, and 51.3 cubic-feet with the seats down. There's also a removable utility box and side bins hidden beneath the carpeted floor. Understanding that the Accord Crosstour may see more outdoor adventuring than most sedans, Honda made the utility box's lid reversible, with a plastic underside that can be used when transporting dirty or wet items.
Honda gave the Accord Crosstour an aerodynamic look, incorporating a sloping roofline and sweeping side body lines from front to back. Still, the 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour is not without its detractors, who complain the car's odd proportions and over-the-top styling cues make it look more cartoon than car. Honda says that the Accord Crosstour does share chassis architecture with the Accord Sedan, but none of the exterior sheetmetal is the same, which is pretty obvious. The Accord Crosstour's bold front grille and bulging fender arches impart a sense of muscularity, while its distinctive rear end and six-inches of ground clearance sets it apart from most of the other cars on the road.
Standard equipment on the 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour includes a 3.5-liter V6 engine, a five-speed automatic transmission, , cloth seats, a one-touch power moonroof, dual zone auto climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, power windows and door locks, and a 360-watt AM/FM/six-disc in-dash audio system with seven speakers. Standard safety features includes anti-lock brakes, electronic traction and stability control, and front side and side curtain airbags. Other convenient standard features include 10-way driver and four-way passenger power adjustable seats, remote entry with power window control, a hidden utility storage compartment and 60/40 split rear seats with one-touch folding.
Optional equipment for the Accord Crosstour includes Real Time 4-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels and a Honda satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition and a rearview camera, all of which can only be had by choosing the up-level EX-L trim.
The 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour is powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 engine that uses Honda's Variable Cylinder Management system which allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders, depending on driving demands. The only transmission choice is a five-speed automatic that uses Honda's G Shift Control and RPM rev-matching, which "blips" the throttle for smooth downshifts. G Shift holds the transmission in gear when the vehicle is cornering.
3.5-liter V6
271 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27(2WD), 18/26 (4WD)

Researchers Use Google To Search Time Travelers
Share the post "Researchers Use Google To Search Time Travelers"
In an interesting study, researchers have searched through the Internet to look for any time travelers from the future that may be lurking in our world.
Astrophysicist Robert Nemiroff from Michigan Technological University and his students were inspired to conduct the research after they wondered: If there were time travellers among us, would they be on social media?
The result was a serious-but-fun effort to tease out travelers from the future by sifting through the Internet.
Nemiroff's team developed a search strategy based on what they call prescient knowledge. If they could find a mention of something or someone on the Internet before people should have known about it, that could indicate that whoever wrote it had travelled from the future.
They selected search terms relating to two recent phenomena, Pope Francis and Comet ISON, and began looking for references to them before they were known to exist.
Their work was exhaustive: they used a variety of search engines, such as Google and Bing, and combed through Facebook and Twitter.
In the case of Comet ISON, there were no mentions before it burst on the scene in September 2012. They discovered only one blog post referencing a Pope Francis before Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected head of the Catholic Church on March 16, but it seemed more accidental that prescient.
They also searched for prescient inquiries submitted to search engines and combed through the Astronomy Picture of the Day site, which Nemiroff co-edits.
For their last effort, the researchers created a post in September 2013 asking readers to email or tweet one of two messages on or before August 2013: "ICanChangeThePast2″ or "ICannotChangeThePast2."
However, their invitation went unanswered. And, they received no insights into the inherent contradictions of time travel.
"So you can search for time travelers, may be you can find one."

A tweet from a hacked Twitter account caused stocks to drop last week. The markets recovered, but the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating the hoax. Comments from Facebook:
Maybe investors shouldn't leap off the cliff like lemmings when there's bad news.
— Sam Greco
This is really scary. To think that the world economy can simply rocket or collapse based on social media shows just how much of a house of cards we have, and how the Web needs to be taken out of the markets.
— Andrew Miller
What should be investigated is why these "professional" traders are making decisions on rumors instead of hard data.
— Frank Loncar
A lot of trading today is done by computers, not by people. If the computers sense a trend, they respond very quickly.
— Steve Silversmith
Wall Street reacts to every rumor. After the 9/11 terror attacks, stocks crashed even though our infrastructure and manufacturing base were unaffected.
It took years for our economy to recover from the fear 9/11 caused. We should be stronger than that.
— David Williams
People who can't stop to verify information in an environment where it is readily and easily available have earned whatever misfortune befalls them.
— Trisha Lynn Dragon
This demonstrates why publicly listed companies should monitor and own their messages on Twitter.
If Wall Street investors are paying attention, so should those who are being traded.

Anne Frank, it has been said, gave a face and a name to the horror of the Holocaust. This is her story. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms - "the Annex" - in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months. Anne, just 13 when the family moved in and only 15 when the Gestapo at last broke down the doors of her secret world, found hope where there was only fear and the first blush of love when outside and all around there washed a sea of hate.
Wrote Ernst Schnable, a German writer who has researched Frank's life: "Out of the millions that were silenced, this voice no louder than a child's whisper has outlasted the shouts of the murderers and has soared above the voices of time."
©2015 BN Publishing (P)2015 BN Publishing
"An incredible reading of Anne Frank's diary. Optimistic, enthusiastic, and a vibrant tribute to an intelligent young woman whose life was cut short so tragically in the Nazi concentration camp at Belsen. Anne speaks to all ages and all people." ( Lawrence Eagle Tribune)
"The young voice of Susan Adams paces and inflects this diary with utmost skill. Also commendable is the fine afterword in which the historical context and the remaining details of Ann Frank's life are explained." ( Booklist)

When Barbara and Brian Rosner were offered a home in Freiburg im Breisgau, West Germany, in exchange for use of their Manhattan apartment, they were apprehensive.
``We planned to be away four weeks,`` said Rosner, a lawyer, ``and we had our year-old son, David, with us. We were attracted by the idea of having a home as our base for day trips instead of a hotel room, but we were scared about who these people were who would be staying in our home in New York.``
