Tom Barwin has an agreement with his youngest boy, Connor.
Son doesn't tell dad how to manage Sarasota, and dad doesn't tell son how to cream an opposing quarterback.
"He prefers that I don't do much coaching,'' Tom Barwin said.
Today, Sarasota's city manager pushes aside concerns of parking, the homeless and development to watch 260-pound Connor try to push aside whichever Cincinnati Bengal gets in his way.
Along with Margaret, his wife of 33 years, Tom will observe from one of the better vantages inside Reliant Stadium.
No cheap seats for the parents of a Houston Texan.
It's called the AFC wild-card round, Bengals at Texans, and the Barwins will pay particular attention to No. 98, the 26-year-old Houston linebacker who once believed such a stage never would include him.
"I never thought I could be a professional player,'' Connor said. "I never even thought I could be a college player until I got into high school.
"I enjoyed competition, enjoyed working out and training, but, really, it was my parents, my dad, who had the most confidence in me and told me I could.''
Tom Barwin started his job as Sarasota city manager on Sept. 1. By then, Connor was preparing to begin his fourth season with the Texans.
After missing 2010 with an ankle injury, he rebounded in 2011 to start every game and record a team-high 11.5 sacks, third in the AFC and ninth in the league.
Barwin's sacks tailed off this season to just three, a product, Tom said, of Houston's interior linemen not providing the push to keep quarterbacks from stepping up and avoiding Connor's edge rush.
By his own admission, Tom didn't bestow on his son any extraordinary athletic genes. Raised in the Detroit suburbs, he played high school sports, "but that's where my career ended.''
But with Connor, the baby of four boys, the Barwins saw something in his work ethic. He begged his parents for strength shoes and a weighted vest for Christmas.
"It was kind of an internal thing,'' Margaret said.
At the University of Detroit Jesuit High School, where he was named offensive and defensive MVP as a junior and senior, Connor would awaken his father to take advantage of the janitor's offer to open the gym early for hoops.
Even before, in the fifth grade, Connor volunteered to take out the trash and cut an acre of lawn on 85-degree days. "Just so he could get stronger to compete,'' Tom said. "I think from as early as the fifth, sixth grade, I kind of knew if (sports) was what he wanted to do, he would be able to, just because of his work ethic.''
Tom served as Connor's tee ball and basketball coach. Tom and Margaret would drive all over the Midwest to watch Connor play on several basketball teams.
The practice continued when Connor earned a scholarship to play football at the University of Cincinnati. As a walk on, he also played for the Bearcat basketball team.
His parents would drive four hours to the game. Another four hours back to Detroit.
"That's how we spent our life,'' Margaret said.
"It meant a lot,'' Connor said. "Looking back on it, the biggest thing for me was just having your parents behind you and believing in you and that was always special for me.''
Barwin was not popped out from the traditional NFL mold. He is the only Texan who takes the train to work. He wore a full chicken suit out in public for Halloween. He's been outspoken about gay rights and same-sex marriage.
"I think people would be surprised to see how many NFL people agree with me,'' he said. "It stems from my upbringing and my parents and the way I was raised, that's for sure.''

Touch Pro Duo, our new standard dual Touchscreen system, allows the user to simultaneously view and interact with multiple features at once. This gives the flexibility to use the system more efficiently, whilst viewing all of the information required. For instance, you can use the navigation system in the upper screen whilst playing media on the lower screen.
The unique, hidden until-lit switches on the steering wheel reduce the number of controls within the cabin. These capacitive switches accomplish a host of functions that you want the vehicle to perform. More regularly used features such as media and phone can now be fully operated from the new steering wheel controls in combination with the Interactive Driver Display helping to reduced driver distraction.
With its ultra sharp resolution delivering smooth curves and sharp edges, this system features an optional high-definition 12.3" Interactive Driver Display. You can interact directly with the display and can control your media, make and receive phone calls and select features to populate your chosen view. You are able to choose from three different views: Dual Dial, Single Dial or Extended.
This optional system features two 8" screens in the headrests and can play movies and TV channels including digital. Each screen is controlled independently. The system has two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI and Mobile High-Definition Link that supports most smartphones, tablets or other devices. Two sets of WhiteFire® connected headphones and wireless remote are also provided.
Remote is a multi-function app that allows you to monitor, as well as interact with the Range Rover Velar from your smartphone or smart watch*. Remotely start the engine** to pre-condition the climate, lock and unlock the vehicle, locate your Range Rover Velar on a map or by using the beep and flash function, and track your journeys – all via the app.
*Compatible devices only
InControl features extend Range Rover Velar connectivity and infotainment, providing the option of adding Connect Pro's services, technologies and applications to give you and your passengers the very highest level in connectivity and convenience. Features include InControl Apps, Remote Premium and Pro Services, including Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Ingenium is Land Rover's up-to-the-minute generation of all-aluminium engines. Lighter, more fuel efficient and powerful than its predecessors, it utilises cutting-edge innovations, such as the Continuous Inlet Variable Valve Lift system, to enhance every aspect of performance, fuel economy and helps to reduce CO2 emissions.
Range Rover Velar aluminium body architecture has been designed for optimum safety, strength and greater efficiencies. High-strength alloy sides and high-density damping panels are incorporated together with a rear dynamic stiffening brace to reduce weight without compromising on safety.
The Land Rover iGuide app uses the latest augmented reality technology to explain all the need-to-know features and controls of your Range Rover Velar. It also doubles as a mobile owners' manual, ensuring you always have the answer to any question to hand.
Torque Vectoring by Braking delivers controlled, responsive cornering, working in conjunction with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics. Together they balance the distribution of engine torque between the four wheels, making the vehicle feel poised and sure-footed.
This system delivers a flat ride and optimum control by monitoring body and steering movements up to 500 times a second. It reacts to driver and road inputs by offering continuously variable damper settings between soft and firm extremes.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors the vehicle's dynamic behaviour and intervenes if it determines the vehicle is not responding to the driver's inputs. It helps ensure Range Rover Velar delivers a connected, balanced and sure-footed drive. One that you will relish both on and off-road.
Roll Stability Control (RSC) is integrated with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to reduce the possibility of rollover, while providing capability to steer around an obstacle or another road user. It monitors the vehicle motion and cornering forces to detect any potential risk of rollover. If any risk is detected, braking is applied to the outside front wheel to reduce forces which decreases stability.
Active Rear Locking Differential* offers the additional benefit of more traction on corners and more grip off-road. It does so by controlling the slip between the left and right wheels on the rear axle.
*Optional on D300 and P380 powertrains.
On slippery surfaces, such as grass and snow, torque can be balanced between the front and rear wheels to maximise traction. In extreme conditions where only the front wheels have traction, up to 100 percent of engine torgue can be distributed to the front wheels for optimum grip.
A competent, composed drive is enhanced by the latest four-corner electronic air suspension system* providing exceptional wheel articulation and poise. Capable of taking on tough situations, this system keeps Range Rover Velar stable no matter how rough the terrain. For increased ride quality, it switches heights seamlessly when necessary.
*Fitted as standard on D300 and P380, optional on D180 and D240 powertrains.
Standard on Range Rover Velar models, our unique Terrain Response systems enable the driver to optimise the vehicle's engine, gearbox, centre differential and chassis systems to match the demands of the terrain, by selecting one of the easily identifiable driving modes. Terrain Response 2 is an option that takes the capabilities of the award-winning system to a new level. This features an automatic setting which monitors the current driving conditions and systematically selects the most suitable terrain setting.
Optional Advanced Tow Assist allows you to control the direction of your trailer when reversing. Using the Terrain Response 2 reconfigurable rotary dial via the Touch Pro controls, the system controls the vehicle's steering to achieve the desired trailer trajectory, as displayed on the Touchscreen.
Land Rover's patented Hill Descent Control (HDC) technology assists the driver with controlled descents of difficult slopes. It does so by maintaining a constant speed and applying braking seperately to each wheel. Hill Start Assist, which comes as standard, ensures the vehicle doesn't roll backwards as it pulls away on an incline.
If a potential collision is detected between 5 and 80kph, the Autonomous Emergency Braking system displays a warning, giving you time to take action. If no action is taken, the system will apply the brakes.
Lane Departure Warning can help make long journeys much safer. It senses when your car is unintentionally drifting out of your lane, and notifies you with a visual alert and a gentle vibration of the steering wheel.
Rear Parking Aid makes reversing into tight spaces easier and safer. Select Reverse and sensors in the rear bumper are automatically triggered. The Touchscreen and audio provide feedback on your proximity to obstacles as you park.
When you're cruising on the motorway or travelling in slow-moving traffic, this system will help keep your vehicle a safe distance from the one in front should it slow or stop.
The Drive Pack offers a range of features designed to help keep you and your passengers safe, including:
– Driver Condition Monitor

7E1 - Paradise Towers 1
The second story of a new Doctor is always interesting. An introductory story is always full of the usual post-regenerative tropes that are habitually relied upon to distract the viewing audience while they, and the actor playing the title role, warms to the idea of a brand new Doctor. Not so with the second story. Those crutches are now gone, and it's now up to the new Doctor and the production team to set the different course that the show will take for the next foreseeable future.
Colin Baker is the exception to this rule because of the fact that his first story closed a season, and, in order to produce a big impact at the start of his first full season, the Cybermen were brought back amidst a flurry of ill-advised continuity references to coax the Sixth Doctor through his sophomore adventure. Paradise Towers is miles removed from this approach. Episode 1 feels like such a fresh start for the series, building on the same feeling that pervaded through Time and the Rani. It's back to The Doctor and his companion, traveling the universe looking for fun and adventure.
In this case, it's Mel wanting to find a decent swimming pool. Trite stuff to some, perhaps, but it's the innocence of Mel's intentions, as well as The Doctor's desire to explore what he hopes to be the impressive Paradise Towers development. Of course, what the two find in the Towers are squabbling factions of young women who are behaving like school children, living in their own innocent world of schoolyard games while members of their various factions are "made unalive" and "taken to the cleaners".
The divergence between the two tones is jarring in this first episode, and could be seen as extremely off putting. The intense opening sequence of the last Yellow Kang meeting her end is totally at odds with the dances and chants of "Red Kangs! Red Kangs! Red Kans are best!" later on. The two tones collide in the "How You Do" sequence that is merely two people saying hello, but is treated as a dramatic, almost violent sequence by the Kang actresses and Sylvester McCoy, punctuated by Keff McColloch's energetic score. Once you throw in the bumbling caretakers, led by Richard Briers, the first of list of primary guest actors in Season 24 who play their parts almost entirely for laughs, you don't know where things are headed.

Len Wiseman to Direct 'Black Chapter,' About Government Spies with Supernatural Powers
Superhero movies have been big business for quite some time now, but not every production company out there has access to a Marvel or DC Comics character, so every now and then we see a studio attempt at making its own superhero-esque franchise. Some of the most notable examples are Push, Hancock and Chronicle, and while they all have their fans, none have gone on to become franchises. And now we can add a new title to that roster of not-quite-superhero superhero movies: Black Chapter.
Written by Zak Penn (X-Men 2, Elektra, The Avengers) and directed by Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Total Recall), Black Chapter is about an FBI agent ushered into a secret government program that trains people to develop and use paranormal abilities. Apparently the idea came about after Penn learned about Wiseman's fascination with actual CIA programs to explore psychic powers in people (as seen in The Men Who Stare at Goats, pictured above), and it attracted the attention of Skydance Productions, makers of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, World War Z and the new Terminator series.
Skydance honcho David Ellison did provide this quote about the project, which does give us hope that this will be a bit more substantial than, say, Push:
"Len and Zak have created a truly original piece of science fiction that reimagines the spy genre set in the world of the supernatural. This is exactly the type of original storytelling that we want to produce."
That actually sounds pretty cool in our book. Wrapping up superpowers into the spy genre is way more compelling these days then yet another save-the-world scenario. That's partly why so many people responded to the story in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so we'd be game for seeing that become a trend.

Size: 16mm-L x 10mm-W x 5mm-D
Qty: 6 Beads
Weight: 0.03 lbs
Perfect for the fantasy lover! This enchanting little fairy will enhance any fanciful jewelry.
These Teeny Tiny Beads have been produced for over 10 years near the ancient city of Cusco, Peru by the Romero family business that has now expanded to employ over 40 people. The following is a description of the manufacturing process of the Teeny Tiny Beads, taken from an article in Bead And Button, April 2002. Bead production starts in the hands of the designers, who sculpt the original animal shapes in clay. Factory workers make production molds from the originals, then press soft clay into the molds to make multiple copies of each piece. To remove an animal from its mold, workers use a metal rod that also creates the hole in the bead. The beads are bisque-fired (a relatively low temperature process) in the electric kilns that the Romeros built themselves, then partially glazed to give some areas of each animal a glossy finish. After another firing, artisans give the animals character and appeal with details added in matte-finish paints. Several thousand beads are produced in each batch, which takes about three days to complete.
Prop 65 Warning: These handmade clay beads may contain lead. Consuming foods or beverages that have been kept or served in leaded crystal products or handling products made of leaded crystal will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Orchestra presents Wagner work, March 9 and 11
The Princeton University Orchestra,
under the direction of Michael Pratt, will present a concert
performance of Act 1 of Richard Wagner's "Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)"
at 8 p.m. Thursday March 9, and Saturday, March 11, in Richardson
Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
Joining the orchestra will be Metropolitan Opera tenor Adam Klein as Siegmund; Othalie Graham, who recently sang Aida with the Boheme Opera, as Sieglinde; and Jonathan Prescott, a veteran of many Wagner and Verdi roles in Europe and the United States, as Hunding.
"The Valkyrie" is the second of four operas that make up Wagner's signature work, "The Ring of the Nibelung." Built around a story of the struggle for a magical ring of terrifying power, Wagner's operas are an allegory of the corrupting influence of power and its pursuit, and the redemption that only love can bring.
Act 1 of "The Valkyrie" tells a story of forbidden and ultimately tragic love. Twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, who have been separated as young children, meet again as adults, unaware of their identity. They are children of the god Wotan, who manipulates them as part of his scheme to regain the powerful ring. Unknowingly following Wotan's plan, they find each other after lives of terrible hardship and fall passionately in love.
"Princeton audiences rarely have an opportunity to hear this astounding music live," said Pratt, who has conducted the orchestra since 1977. "While he was composing the work in 1854, Wagner said, in a matter of fact manner, that this was the most beautiful music that had ever been composed. I agree with his assessment.
"Music had never before carried such raw and open passion," he continued. "Wagner's orchestra, as always, reveals the inner lives of the characters and the drama with stunning clarity. Act 1 of 'The Valkyrie' stands on its own as a dramatic unit, perhaps better than any other single act in Wagner's output."
The Princeton University Orchestra is made up of nearly 100 undergraduate and graduate student musicians representing a broad spectrum of academic departments. The orchestra plays a wide range of works by composers from the classical period up through new works by Princeton composers.
Tickets for the orchestra's March 9 and 11 performances are $18 for general admission and $5 for students. Senior citizen and group discounts are available. For more information on tickets, contact the Richardson Auditorium box office at (609) 258-5000.

Want to know what embarrassing is?
I walked to the middle school last Wednesday to check for news, and before going to the main office, I detoured to the bathroom. I discovered that a student had left his planner on the sink and, behaving like a grown-up, took it to the lost and found across the hall.
It was only when I returned to the bathroom to answer nature's call that I noticed a pair of sneakers, attached to a pair of legs, beneath the nearest bathroom stall. I had turned an un-lost planner in to the lost and found.
"Flack flickin' flack a flack!" I thought.
For me personally, there's only one task more intimidating than taking, as they say, el numero dos, in public places. That task is being in middle school.
If I were smart, I would've returned the planner to the sink as soundlessly as I took it away. Instead, I said to the poor student, who was in the most vulnerable of vulnerable places, "Dude, did you leave your planner on the sink?"
He replied, "Yeah, man. I did."
"Aw, crap," I said. "I just turned it in to the lost and found."
He took the news remarkably well, insisting he would pick it up on his way to class, that it was no big deal. But to me it was a big deal. The student was obviously trying to evade detection with a deathly silence, which is probably why I didn't notice him in the first place. Nobody likes being caught with his or her pants down, especially in middle school, where the slightest lapse in conformity equals social suicide.
(And yes, answering such a call of nature is considered a faux pas among middle schoolers, who trail only politicians in socially-sanctioned insanity).
I felt bad.
As an understanding person and a middle school veteran, I apologized profusely, using as many "dudes" and "mans" as I could to show I'm hip. He seemed like a good kid, and thinking back on it, I was probably more embarrassed than he was.
But not as embarrassed as I was a few Sundays ago, when I broke the toilet in the apartment above the Observer.
I was frustrated with something inconsequential (Super Mario DS) at the time and instead of venting with a string of phrases containing the ineffable F-word, I expressed myself with a resounding sit. The result was a cracked toilet that leaked water when I flushed it.
If I were pithy, I would've remarked "If only my thoughts and words were as forceful as my derriere."
Instead, I panicked and did what brave men of sound heart and mind do in times of stress—I called my mom.
Unfortunately, mom and dad were out for a walk. My brother Jamie answered the phone. After informing him of my big time emergency, he dispatched himself to hunt them down. In the meanwhile I struggled to turn off the toilet's water supply valve, but the dang thing, crafted during the Eisenhower administration, wouldn't budge.
After a seemingly endless 10 minutes, FEMOM (the mom division of FEMA) called and took over for my brain. She first assuaged my angst by laughing at me, then told me to do the obvious—call my landlord, who is also my employer, and have him turn off the water to the apartment.
In a strong and determined tone of voice, I replied, "Mom, I can't do that! It's too embarrassing! My life is ruined!"
"Jeffrey," she said. "You have to. The leak could cause ceiling damage."
David was as civil as can be expected of a man whose bonehead tenant disrupts his Sunday morning to report a toilet-related threat of ceiling collapse. He surmised that the leak didn't necessitate turning the building's water off, but I had to use the downstairs toilet for the next three days while we waited for a replacement to arrive.
Around day two, those empty Gatorade bottles I keep started coming in real handy in the middle of the night.
And the second number—the original reason I sat down—disappeared, probably due to my compulsive fear of making such an elimination in places that are not my home. For the next three days I was as close to feeling pregnant as I predict I'll ever be.
At this point, I could probably make a joke about "breaking in" the new toilet after David help Chuck Ekins install it, but I've had my fill of bathroom humor in the last few weeks.

If you asked me a question that I haven't answered yet, it's probably because I was too busy at the time and postponed it.

The United Nations Association of Wales (UNA Wales) has launched a petition, aimed at pressuring the Welsh Assembly Government into creating a cabinet post for a Welsh Minister of Gender Equality. With similarly populous countries, such as Denmark and New Zealand, having already developed equivalent positions within their governments, UNA Wales feels that it is high time gender issues were granted ministerial attention and resources in the form of an office dedicated solely to eroding economic, political, and social disparities between men and women.
According to UNA Wales, there are many reasons to justify such a political move: 150,000 women in Wales suffer from some form of gender based domestic violence every year; the pay gap in Wales has increased to 12.7%, up from 10.3% in 2009; desperate need to ensure that women and men are respected and treated equally in all areas of life, for example, there is not a single women's prison in the whole of Wales, meaning that mothers struggle to see their families and friends due to being locked up in distant places.
You can sign the petition here.

Jim Thome's Lisa Stansfield Problem
Everyone does. Right?
22-year veteran. Stand-up, lunch pail guy from Peoria. No nonsense, just give me the bat and let me hit 'em far. Defensively challenged, yes, but in a funny ha-ha way (not a funny-sad Carlos Lee way).
That's Jim Thome. And everyone loves him for it.
Except one thing: Jim Thome still doesn't have a ring.
All around the world and I – I – I – I can't find my baby…
This, of course, is true despite his strong efforts to land on a contending team. He had several chances with the Indians before going to the Phillies. But just as the Phillies were developing into a powerhouse, Thome left for the newly crowned World Series champion White Sox after the '05 season. He then wandered in south side purgatory before getting a shot with the playoff-bound Dodgers in '09, then signed with an up-and-coming Twins club that nosedived him back into the lap of Cleveland — a team that just couldn't hang around the top long enough to give him another shot at a championship.
So he resigned with the Phillies. Best pitching staff in the Majors. Potent offense. Okay, anemic offense. But they were supposed to be potent. Doesn't matter anymore.
Thome is in Birdland now. And while I love the move and think the young kids in Baltimore are gonna learn a heck of a lot from the old man, I really don't think the Orioles are going to contend for the World Series title.
I just hope Jim is cool with another spin around the world, so he can find his bay-beh…
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Morgan State University takes top honors in academic challenge
Team becomes repeat national champions
The Morgan State University All-Stars academic team has repeated its national champion after taking it all in Honda's Campus All-Star Challenge.
Morgan faced off this weekend in California against students from 47 other historically black colleges and universities in the academic quiz competition.
The All-Stars walked away with medals, a trophy and $50,000.
"There is no real way to prepare for an academic bowl. The only thing that you can do is try to internalize as much as information as possible and try to replicate this information on flash cards to the point that you're always reviewing," said Kyle De Jan Morgan, one of the Morgan All-Stars, before the competition.
For the past 24 years, Honda has supported the academic bowl, a major competition that pits Morgan's academic team against schools from around the country.

Alcoholism has emerged as one of the major social problems these days. Not only family but state Governments too are expressing their deep concerns over the growing rate of Alcoholism. Reports say if the rate of alcoholism continued in the same manner it would adversely affect the overall productivity of a country. Alcoholism is a serious and terrible social problem because it has the potential to adversely affect the physical as well as the mental status of a person.
One of the major problems with alcoholism and drug addiction is that people slowly become dependent upon these substances and it becomes pretty tough to get rid of those. Even if they are willing to leave this habit they won't be able to do so and they will experience some withdrawal symptoms. The duration and effect of withdrawal symptoms can range from a few days to weeks. The degree of its severity also ranges from mild to serious and in some cases it may lead to death.
Alcoholism and drug addiction is a substance abuse problem that is repeated and excessive. This substance is used to create effects or imagined effects. As a person becomes more and more addicted and sinks deeper into these substances they could experience abnormal physical and mental behaviors like mood swings, abnormal social and communication behavior, personality changes and many others. When we talk about physical changes it may include liver damage and failure, redness and rashes in eyes, dry skin, dry lips, forgetfulness and many others.
Viewing its long term impact on the overall personality of a person it is essential to know what physical and emotional effects alcoholism could bring in and what should be done in case you are in the same trap. With this article we have come-up with certain facts that could decipher what physical and mental effects does alcoholism brings in.
Gastrointestinal problems: The first system that gets adversely affected by alcoholism is the gastrointestinal system or commonly called as digestive system. A higher concentration of alcohol in body leads to weakened liver and ultimately to a weak digestive system.
Cardio vascular complications: Experts are of the opinion that a higher concentration of alcohol in human body also has negative impact on our respiratory and cardio vascular system as it may leads to many cardio vascular complication including hypertension and cardiomyopathy.
Weakened immunity system: Immune system is one of the most important systems in human body, it is our defense mechanism, and it recognizes foreign antigens and chemicals in the body and elicits some defense mechanism to get rid of the antigen. However regular alcohol intake could affect our immune system negatively and ultimately leads to a weakened immune system.
Infections and infectious diseases: Continuous intake of alcohol could leads to serious infections including pneumonia and tuberculosis which could adversely affect our respiratory system as a whole.
Nervous system disorders: Experts have opined that excessive level of alcohol in body could also damage our peripheral and central nervous system that could result into many nervous system disorders and much cognitive impairment.
Impotency: Alcoholism not only affects our digestive and respiratory system but it also affects the main system of human body that is the reproductive system. Alcoholic males have been reported of testicular atrophy, impotency and gynecomastia.
Fetal alcohol syndrome: Those women who drink need to be more conscious as alcohol may not only affect their body but it will also have negative impact on their fetus. Experts are of the opinion that taking alcohol during pregnancy can leads to mental retardation, facial deformity and neurological problems.
Viewing the major impact of alcoholism to a person's overall personality it is important to take adequate measures so that they don't get into this trap. And if it is unavoidable and somehow they have already sunk into this trap adequate steps ought to be taken to get rid of this social menace.
Alcoholism is a chronic addiction. It is a persistent disease, which needs medical help, when gets out of control. People, who suffer from this addiction, cannot do without alcohol. If some one consumes moderate quantities of alcohol, it is not harmful but when it turns into binge drinking and excessive drinking, it becomes a disease called Alcoholism. It is an addiction and people suffering from it have no control over their drinking. They drink a lot and frequently. They get dependent on alcohol.
Alcoholic prefers to drink alone in secret. Other signs and symptoms of this addiction are not being able to limit how much alcohol is consumed, short term memory loss, loosing interest in social life, hobbies and activities and having a great urge to drink all the time. They develop their drinking rituals and do not like any interference in this. They get irritable, when they want a drink and intensity of their feeling increases, if they do not get alcohol.
Alcoholism makes people nauseate or sweat, when they do not get drink. They start hiding alcohol in unlikely places and try to gulp down the drink as fast as they could, when they get it. They develop relationship problems, problems at work place and other social problems as they start avoiding social activities. They always have an urge for a larger quantity of alcohol to feel its effect. Alcoholism affects an addict physically, psychologically and socially. Drinking becomes a compulsion for him or her.

Texas State aims to boost minority male student success via consortium
Posted by Jayme Blaschke
University News Service
December 10, 2012
Texas State University and nine other Texas colleges and universities that make up the Texas Education Consortium for Male Student Success have been awarded a $335,000 to support Hispanic and African American male student success in college enrollment and degree attainment.
Project MALES, an initiative within the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at the University of Texas headed by Victor Sáenz, assistant professor of education, will administer the grant.
"Texas State University is happy to be a part of this unique collaboration that looks to increase the number of Latino males in the education pipeline as we know from the research that this student population is not attaining similar educational outcomes to their peers," said Michael Nava, assistant dean for assessment in the University College at Texas State. "Through this GTF grant schools like ours will be able to increase our efforts to recruit and retain our underrepresented male students at a higher level through mentoring support and other programs that we institute."
The three-year grant will support work on four key objectives: to build the consortium; to annually hold two meetings and a student summit to share evaluation metrics and advance programmatic activities; to incubate research-based, male-focused programs, including a male mentoring program for high school and college students at each institution; and to disseminate findings through a resource center and other online tools. The research-based mentoring program for male high school and college students is based on a multigenerational mentoring model designed and piloted by Sáenz and his Project MALES team.
The grant from the Greater Texas Foundation (GTF) will be awarded over a three-year period starting in summer 2013 to support the work of the consortium, an ambitious statewide initiative that will align existing programs that target underrepresented male students in K-12 and higher education and stimulates new initiatives within Texas colleges and universities.
In addition to Texas State, the consortium includes Austin Community College, El Paso Community College District, Lone Star College System, Palo Alto College, San Antonio College, South Texas College, Tarrant County College District and the University of North Texas. The consortium will also count two public school districts among its membership.
"In our year of gathering data, building partnerships and piloting a mentoring program at a local high school, we have heard so much positive feedback from the community, including nonprofits and individuals that work with minority males," Sáenz said. "As we expand the project through the consortium my hope is that we continue to increase awareness about minority male educational attainment and grow to even more schools in Texas to reach greater levels of males through targeted and effective programming."
Additional funding for the consortium will come in the form of in-kind and direct support from the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement as well as other funding partners. To learn more about the consortium or Project MALES, visit http://ddce.utexas.edu/projectmales/about/.
The Greater Texas Foundation, formerly the Greater Texas Student Loan Corporation, is a foundation based in Bryan that serves the residents and educational institutions of Texas by supporting initiatives that increase rates of postsecondary enrollment and completion for all Texas students, with a particular focus on students who may encounter barriers to postsecondary success.

Pardot is continuing to hire aggressively. We have added 25+ team members so far this year and plan to add many more before the year is out. We know that tapping into our social graph to find great people has always been the best way for us to build out our team. We have just started a new program to reward anyone in the greater tech community (not only our employees) for referring great employees our way.
The rules are pretty straightforward:
- The referred candidate must actually know you (duh!) and acknowledge that you sent him/her our way. We have a referral slot on our application for the candidate to use.
- You can be a recruiter but the $10,001 would be in lieu of any other remuneration you would normally earn on a placement. It would also not construe any ongoing contract for placement with Pardot.
- This applies only to full-time software engineering positions.
- You can either send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the candidate's information or the candidate can contact us directly and list you as a reference. If we receive multiple intro contacts for the same candidate, the first one received will win out.
- The $10,001 will be paid out 120 days from the candidate's start date.
We are also offering a $2,000 referral bonus for all non- software engineering positions (same terms as above). More information is available on our careers page.
Per @dharmesh from @hubspot (see below), our inspiration for this was from SEOmoz and HubSpot who did similar things in their respective markets (Seattle and Boston).

I joined a photography challenge on January 1 called The Great 365 Project hosted on Diane Downs' photography website/blog and started posting my photos on Instagram . The January 18 daily prompt was "multiple" and I had just received my essential oils and bamboo diffuser from UPS! Don't you love this essential oil storage box ? I was really surprised to discover that my 30ml bottles fit in all of the slots. Lots of room for more oils!
I started pinning essential oil diffuser recipes on Pinterest and decided to make a little recipe book to keep with my supplies. I found this quick and easy, GLUE FREE, book tutorial on Club Scrap's blog. At 3×6 inches, it is the perfect size for what I wanted!
Isn't that card stock gorgeous?! It is from Club Scrap® 's January Color Me Happy kit. I used the sunshine stamp from the art nouveau unmounted stamp collection, and the sophisticated script alphabet from Concord and 9th and a small wooden alphabet stamp set from my stash to create the label on the belly band. The metallic dot is included in the embellishment pack with the (CMH) kit.
There are plenty of pages inside, 14 if you include the front and back inside covers, to house my collection of recipes! I created a .png file using the recommended fonts in the Club Scrap January 2017 Scrap Rap for my recipes so that they would be easy to print and trim out.
The spine cover makes it look so "finished"!
I'm linking up to the January 2017 Color Me Happy Club Scrap Blog Hop for a chance to win a Club Scrap gift certificate!
Do more of what makes you happy!

Two years ago today I was in Pitigliano Italy, site of one of the oldest Jewish towns in Italy – though of course not anymore. I blogged every day of our month-long stay in Italy and Pitigliano was particularly hard to write about. I thought about this post recently because when I wrote it I was still not very involved in twitter, my Facebook friends were all old high school friends or new real life friends, and believe it or not I had no idea if or why people read my blog. I wrote, I published and I didn't care about what happened after that.
But, when I came back from Italy where I had been posting every single day – and still not looking at my stats! – I was shocked to see that my blog readership had exploded. I thought I was writing about our trip purely for my family and good friends, but it had been passed around and shared and so on. It was my first real lesson in how far my writing could go on the web if I kept consistently putting it out there. That's when I discovered twitter too. It was Amy Oztan, selfishmom.com, who shoved me in to the twittersphere, but it was meeting Jennifer Perillo that made me stay.
Jennifer's blog, In Jennie's Kitchen is some of the best food and good old-fashioned writing you will find anywhere. An Italian girl from Brooklyn married to a nice Jewish boy (ok – man), Jennifer was looking for and writing about Italian Jewish food. I told her about the cookbook I wrote about in my Pitigliano post, which was the very one she was reading at the time – and then that spurred a full-out conversation about the Jews of Italy, my visit to Pitigliano and so much more. Jennifer linked to this post from her recipe on egg-free gnocchi. And so a friendship was born – of twitter, but thankfully into real life.
So, in a Travel Tuesday reprise – here's my post about Pitigliano and the testimony to how our food culture endures and social media can keep the conversation going.
Pitigliano – It's So Not (Jewish) Ghetto

Whether they are short, long, or some other custom fit, elegant and sophisticated is the first word that will come to your mind when you see black bridesmaid dresses. You can never go wrong with a black dress for it never goes out of style. It goes well with almost all colors.
It goes without saying that accessories of any color look perfect on a black bridesmaid dress. This means that you can wear the black dress on other occasions. Kristin Davis' character in the movie "Sex and the City" showcased the style and sophistication of the black bridesmaid dress in her best friend's wedding. [Continue reading..]
Today black bridesmaid dresses are a popular choice for weddings. But this choice of color wasn't some modern statement from the likes of Vera Wang, who currently reigns supreme as one of the most recognized a renown designers of wedding dresses. If you have not heard of Vera Wang, you have definitely seen her work in creating bridal wear for the likes of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez just to name a few. The shade is classic and could never be boring. Bridesmaid dresses in black complement the whiteness of the bridal gown. The color is nothing but elegant and fitting for all wedding seasons.
Black Bridesmaid Dress History
The fact is that black bridesmaid dresses have been worn centuries ago by many different cultures. Historically black dresses were worn in weddings where the bride had recently lost a loved family member. In contrast, Spanish and Roman Catholic weddings, the black dress was used to signify the bride's commitment to the groom and till death do us part.
During the late 19th century, black dresses began to lose their appeal due to the morbid association of mourning, loss and death. It even developed into taboo for the groom's mother and the bride to be if black was worn at the wedding since it signified sorrow to choice of spouse for marriage.
Black Bridesmaid Dresses for Todays Weddings
From mourning and mystery, the black color evolved to find a niche in art and fashion. The insanity came to an end and black became one of the most popular colors, and flattering as a bridesmaid dress choice. Today, wearing black makes a bridesmaid appear slimmer and elegant. The mystery linked to the color only adds up to its allure.
Because black signifies a lack of color, the wearer comes across as authoritative and powerful. It is a favorite color of artists, fashion designers, penitents and priests. Also, it is the preferred color of people who want to appear thinner and elegant. Most fashion experts agree that a woman should have a little black dress on her closet. The versatility of the color allows it to be used on various occasions.

Good Practice on Sustainable Mobilisation of Wood
Background and Significance
Wood is currently the most important source of renewable energy in the UNECE region. In the EU27, woody biomass accounts for more than half of renewable energies and wood supply will need to be enhanced if countries are to meet the ambitious targets set by policy makers, notably 20% renewable energy by 2020. A recent UNECE/FAO study on Potential Sustainable Wood Supply revealed that a considerable amount of wood (up to 230 Mio. m3/a) could be additionally supplied in Europe from various sources, if vigorous action is taken. Efforts to stimulate mobilisation of unused wood resources have been initiated in many European countries and there was a need to bring together good practices and share experience. The sound mobilisation of unused wood resources will be crucial for fulfilling the requirements of sustainable development, for meeting the needs of both the wood-based industry and the bio-energy sector and to support increased climate change mitigation through the forest sector.
Development and Output
UNECE/FAO, together with Forest Europe Liaison Unit Oslo and European Commission DG Agriculture and Rural Development, jointly developed a "Good practice guidance on sustainable mobilisation of wood" to help enlarging sustainable wood supply in Europe, following a recent workshop on "Strategies for increased wood mobilisation from sustainable sources". The guidance is directed towards policy-makers and practitioners alike by giving comprehensive support in all operational phases (e.g. preparation, planning, execution), at different levels (e.g. national, sub-national), for different purposes (e.g. high-quality logs, fuel wood) and relating to all aspects of sustainability (ecological, economic and social) of wood mobilisation.
In particular, the guidance document proposes eight areas of action to increase wood supply (see below). For each mobilisation area, concrete measures are proposed, and for each measure, successful case studies from 14 countries are presented. Each case study includes information on specific circumstances, results and lessons learned, as well as the contact details of experts who may be consulted. The case studies are further assessed according to the time needed for implementation, ease of implementation and potential scale of mobilisation. Through this approach, the reader can easily prioritise measures and identify suitable approaches for specific circumstances.
The good practice guidance can be downloaded here. A hard copy can be obtained by sending an e-mail to Info Timber, or by writing to the partner organisations (see above). Moreover, a brochure provides a brief overview of the guidance document, summarizing major elements and conclusions.
Readers may build on the ideas and knowledge presented in the good practice guidance and share their experience. Comments and new case studies are welcome and should be transmitted to Info Timber
Readers may also wish to refer to the work on wood availability and demand

BOULDER, CO – Upslope Brewing Company released its highly anticipated Pumpkin Ale on September 10, 2012. This 2011 GABF Gold Medal winner in the Field and Pumpkin Beer category is the third installment in their Limited Release Series and will be the brewery's first 16 oz can four pack.
"This is what happens when a local brewer and a local farmer drink a pint together." says Founder, Matt Cutter. "Mike Munson from Munson Farms came to me in 2009 and asked if we were interested in brewing a pumpkin beer with his organic baby bear pumpkins grown in Boulder County. Malt and hops come from the field. Adding pumpkins to this brew makes this truly a local farm-to-brewhouse collaboration."
In past years, Upslope Brewing employees took the pumpkins home to bake them in their ovens the night before the beer was brewed. This year they will brew 120 bbls requiring them to bake the pumpkins at a commercial kitchen in Lafayette.
"This beer is brewed with freshly harvested pumpkins," says Alex Violette, Upslope's Head Brewer. "We believe that using fresh ingredients is what makes this beer taste so good."
Upslope also adds a custom blend of six spices from Savory Spice Shop to round out the flavors in this beer.
Upslope Brewing Pumpkin Ale will be released in a distinctive copper-colored, 16 oz can on a very limited basis throughout Colorado. It will be available until the end of October.

The Dow and S&P 500 indices reached all-time highs this first quarter of 2013, which boosted investor inflows and the performance of many equity fund categories, according to several reports released this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had returns of 11.25% for the quarter, while the S&P 500 returned 10.03%.
For the quarter, Lipper says that 80 of its 90 equity and mixed-equity fund classifications posted positive returns. The U.S. diversified-equity fund category was up 10.16%, however the overall equity fund group tracked by the research firm averaged returns of 7.68%, underperforming the S&P 500 for the period.
"At the top of the equity fund leaderboard were health/biotechnology funds (15.53%), equity-leverage funds (15.36%), global health/biotechnology funds (14.57%) and mid-cap value funds (13.74%) … as investors began focusing on out-of-favor issues," said Tom Roseen, head of research services for Denver-based Lipper, in a report published in early April.
"Given the new concerns over the Cyprus bank bailout and Italy's inability to form a coalition government, it wasn't surprising to see world equity funds (3.81% for the quarter) underperform the other three macro-classifications for the first quarter in three and U.S. diversified-equity funds (10.16%) jump to the top of the podium as investors eyed attractive domestic issues," Roseen said.

According to BlackRock, exchange-traded products had inflows of more than $70 billion during the first quarter of 2013, up from $65.5 billion in the year-ago period. Equity-focused ETPs accounted for $65 billion, or 93%, of the first quarter's inflows. In March, for instance, global ETF flows totaled $23.5 billion, more than double February's level.
"Investors registered renewed confidence in developed-equity markets with record ETP flows in the first quarter," said Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist for BlackRock's global operations, in a statement. "Despite continued market volatility, investors recognize that the fundamentals in the United States are generally favorable, given strong corporate earnings and cheap equity valuations."
Added Koesterich: "Rather than the much-discussed 'great rotation' from bonds into equities, the first quarter showed investors moving cash from the sidelines into equities, and preparing for a rise in interest rates by rotating within fixed income into short-term and floating-rate ETFs."

Outfit Details:
cardigan - c/o American Living by jcpenney
shirt - Gap
belt - thrifted
pants - Forever 21
Romance boots - c/o Seychelles
The kind folks at American Living by jcpenney allowed me to pick out a piece from their collection and I immediately gravitated toward this draped cardigan. I've noticed that I'm lacking more casual pieces in my closet, so I've been slowly stocking up on basics and comfy separates for Fall. I'm slowly bringing out the sweaters and the coats are waiting for their [unwelcome] debut. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to Autumn weather and hope it sticks around for longer than expected. Fall, good. Winter, bad!

Monday, December 25th, 10 am Christmas Caroling outside Central Prison in Raleigh. Meet under the railroad trestle off W. Cabarrus St.
Wake up early on Christmas Day and show people in Central Prison that they're not forgotten! Bring drums or other noise makers if you have them! The more noise we make, the more likely people on the inside will hear us!
This annual event is organized by the Fr. Charlie Mulholland Catholic Worker House. Meet at 10 am under the railroad tracks off W. Cabarrus St. The best way to get there is turn onto S. Boylan Ave from Western Blvd, then left on Dorothea Dr, and park just after the street turns to the right. Here's a link to the meeting spot on a map.

ESCONDIDO, CA – Stone Brewing Co. is releasing yet another exciting collaboration beer today—the fifth this year!—dubbed "The Alchemist / Ninkasi / Stone More Brown Than Black IPA."
One of the many unfortunate casualties of Hurricane Irene was the destruction of The Alchemist Pub and Brewery in Waterbury, VT. When Stone Brewing Co. Brewmaster Mitch Steele heard of the loss, he immediately sent out an email to The Alchemist Head Brewer John Kimmich asking if there was anything he could do to help.
"John's wife, Jen, wrote back suggesting that John fly out to Southern California for a few daysÔǪ just to get a break from the reality of everything," recounts Steele. "And almost as an afterthought, she casually mentioned that maybe we could even brew something together. I ran with it."
Fresh off the tails of brewing the "Baird / Ishii / Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA"—another collaboration beer that raised $64,000 for victims of the earthquake and tsunami tragedy in Japan—Steele reached out to Jamie Floyd, Brewer/Co-founder of Ninkasi Brewing Company in Eugene, OR, who was happy to come onboard to complete the brewing trifecta.
"That's what this entire industry is all about. No matter what the 'competitive' side is, we care about humanity, and we care about each other," offers Floyd.
Proceeds from the beer will go directly to the Waterbury Good Neighbor Fund, a non-profit organization aiding families affected by the hurricane. "It's a small town," says Kimmich. "Even the influx of a few thousand dollars will have a huge affect. There are very low-income people who lost everything. And the idea of coming out to Stone and making a beer that will directly impact our townÔǪ it's heartwarming to say the least."
The Alchemist / Ninkasi / Stone More Brown Than Black IPA
Stats: 7.4% abv, 80 IBUs
Availability: Limited 12oz bottles & draft, beginning December 19th
Distribution: AZ, CA, CO, FL, IL, MA, NC, NM, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, VA, VT, WA
Malt bill: Maris Otter Pale, Light Munich, Carafa III Special Dark, and Cara-Helles
Hops bill: Super Galena hop extract for bittering, Nelson Sauvin and Delta for flavor, dry-hopped with a blend of Citra and Galaxy.
The Alchemist Pub and Brewery — John Kimmich (Head Brewer);
Ninkasi Brewing Company — Jamie Floyd (President/Head Brewer);
Stone Brewing Co. — Mitch Steele (Brewmaster)
Tasting notes, provided by Brewmaster Mitch Steele:
Appearance: Deep brown, a bit hazy, with tan foam.
Aroma: Whoa! This beer is all about, resiny, piney, dank and citrusy hops! The first shot is intense blend of pine and orange rind, and then as your sense of smell just starts to recover, the dankness and resiny herbaceousness come through with hints of grapefruit. This is a powerful hop blend!
Taste: The hops also dominate the flavor of this beer. Orange and grapefruit rind take center stage in the flavor, followed by, you guessed it: piney / resiny notes. The beer has a modest body…not sweet at all…and has a lingering bitter, drying end. Beyond the bitter end there are light hints of roasted malt and chocolate in the finish.
Overall: The hop character in this beer is unique and very pronounced. Galaxy is a newer hop variety from Australia that we think has strong tropical fruit and stone fruit characteristics. Citra and Delta are newer American hop varieties — Citra possesses strong citrus and dank flavors, while Delta has a milder profile with melon and berry notes. And of course Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand has its intense namesake's white wine notes along with—surprise!—more dank notes. They all blended together well in this beer, a tribute to one of our favorite styles.
Stone Brewing Co. was founded in 1996 by Steve Wagner and Greg Koch in North County San Diego, CA. It is the 14th largest craft brewery in the United States and has been named "All-Time Top Brewery on Planet Earth" by BeerAdvocate magazine – TWICE! A recently announced $26.6M expansion plan (that includes a hotel among other lofty ventures) is underway, as are developments to become the first American craft brewery to open a brewhouse in Europe.

I don't think anything compares to soccer as far as leg conditioning. And there is much to be learned on the field.
The same retisence to use violence can occur when faced with an authority figure, such as your father.or going further a Policeman or a prison guard ( that coupled with the backup their position gives them)
So my point is, if a Leo tries to teach self defence his perception of himself is reflected back on him from the mirror of his intereaction with others often gives him a false impression of just how good he is.....folks will back down against a blue uniform, but not against the same little fat guy in civvy clothes with no indication of authority.
I think one of the problems with Wing chun is assumption. When people have been exposed to a little Wing chun they think that they know what Wing chun is.

Oil prices barely budge ahead of US jobs report
The price of oil was nearly unchanged Friday as weak growth in China's manufacturing failed to impress and more people filed for unemployment benefits in the U.S.
Benchmark oil for March delivery was up 3 cents to $97.52 per barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 45 cents to close at $97.49 a barrel on the Nymex on Thursday.
The government said Thursday the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid rose sharply last week. Traders will get a further indication about the strength of the jobs market Friday, when the Labor Department issues the closely followed monthly nonfarm payrolls report.
High unemployment drags on the U.S. economy, leading to lower demand for crude and falling energy prices.
"If non-farm payrolls increased in January by more than December's 155,000 gain, it seems likely that oil prices will strengthen in response," said Caroline Bain, commodities analyst for The Economist Intelligence Unit.
She said that significant or permanent price hikes are not expected because the market is well supplied and U.S. stockpiles are high.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 30 cents to $115.85 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
- Wholesale gasoline lost 0.3 cent to $3.029 per gallon.
- Natural gas fell 2.9 cents to $3.31 per 1,000 cubic feet.
- Heating oil rose 0.5 cent to $3.124 a gallon.

Kashmir issue has to be settled by India, Pakistan: Envoy
Pakistan has said the Kashmir issue with India has to be settled by the two countries even as it described the UN resolutions on the matter as an "important framework" for its settlement.world Updated: Jan 04, 2013 13:44 IST
Pakistan has said the Kashmir issue with India has to be settled by the two countries even as it described the UN resolutions on the matter as an "important framework" for its settlement.
"When we talk about the bilateral dimension of this issue (Kashmir), of course it has to be settled by India and Pakistan and we do realise that the UN resolutions are an important framework for the settlement of this dispute," Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN Masood Khan said in United Nations on Thursday.
He was briefing reporters on his country assuming the month-long presidency of the 15-nation UN Security Council.
When asked if the Kashmir issue should be resolved bilaterally or under the auspices of the UN, Khan said "it cannot be characterised in such stark terms.
"The (UN) resolutions are there. They are relevant and in the meantime the dialogue between India and Pakistan must continue."
Pakistan has raked up the issue of Kashmir at the UN forum time and again but India has insisted that it is its internal matter.
In December 2012, Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf had said that his country seeks to resolve the Kashmir issue on the basis of United Nations resolutions and aspiration of the Kashmiri people.
Khan cited the recent increased engagement between India and Pakistan on a host of issues, including trade and said top leadership of the two countries have met as the nations "moved towards engagement."
"While India and Pakistan engage each other on a whole range of issues, we have always been and we make all sorts of overtures to India and there is greater interaction between civil societies of the two countries.
"This is our effort, this is the aspiration of the people of Pakistan that longstanding issues particularly the issue of Jammu and Kashmir would be settled in accordance with the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and a solution which has the concurrence of both India and Pakistan."

A new photo exhibit in Atlanta champions legends of the drag queen community. But some, forced to view the images every day, have requested that the more risqué ones be covered up or relocated.
The art exhibit, "Legendary Children," at Gallery 1526 at 1526 DeKalb Ave., NE, includes photos of some of Atlanta's most raucous drag queens. But employees of other businesses in the same building have expressed discomfort with the daily barrage of images, some of which appear to them to be pornographic.
"Can you please remove the porn-style money shot from our door? I asked John to relocate his photo, but he refused, citing his contract with you -- and I don't not want to impede your business in any way," wrote Dov Jacobson, managing director of GamesThatWork.com in a Sept. 9 email to gallery owner and curator Melanie Bell. "I am responsible to provide a comfortable working environment for my employees, and it is uncool (and probably illegal) for me to ask them to walk past a big red mouthful of oozing sperm every day. Put it someplace else -- I don't care, but not on our doorway please."
According to an article in the Georgia Voice, Jacobson has already asked Bell to cover up two other images of drag queen Violet Chachki: a full frontal nude and another, taken by Blake England from behind, in which you can clearly see the drag queen's balls.
Bell complied with Jacobson request, responding to him that, "it's not really sperm in the image... it's smoke and mirrors/ special effects... not porn. If it were porn, I would never have hung it. Promise. I did cover the exposed parts (balls on the walls as you put it) on the other images so that everyone was more comfortable."
The photos now have a Post-It over the offending parts that reads, "Censored until closing night. If you want to look, please lift. Thanks, Gallery 1526."
While Bell insisted the images are not porn, Jacobson was certain that they were. In a Sept. 10 email, he explained the concept of the "money shot" to Bell, adding, "It is surprising that you do not respect this request to move it away from our door." He said that the images have prevented some of his clients from bringing their children to his business.
"I will switch the two amazing photographs so that the image is not directly in front of your door," wrote Bell to Jacobson before adding, "I will tell you as a woman your emails in regards to the images to me are far more filthy than the image itself could ever be and I don't care how much porn you watch. You have used more vulgar terms than I have heard in quite sometime."
While Jacobson was likely just protecting his business, artists and the gallery owner have pegged his response as homophobic and bigoted. Photographer Jon Dean said, "What year is this? In Atlanta we sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that we are immune to these kind of backward thinking idiots."
"It's a sad reminder that we have a long way to go when it comes to acceptance in the South, particularly. Right now I'm feeling very protective over them , as we've all become a dysfunctional type of family. We've all put our hearts into this work. People need to be made uncomfortable sometimes. What you say is indecent, I say is fabulous!" Dean added.
Blake England, who photographed the two photos in question of Violet Chachki, said censorship never works.
"I hope queers and drag queens make people feel uncomfortable. I pray people find all this morbidly fascinating if not beautiful or sexy. I think that taking people out of their comfort zones and getting them to care about something, whether it be love or hate, is exactly what we're trying to do as photographers and performers," he said.
"Censoring us is not going to work, we can keep giving you plenty of material to cover up. We want the creeps and bigots to hate us, how else would we know we're doing something right?" England said.
The exhibit is getting a lot of press both locally and nationally, and the Sept. 28 closing show will include a drag performance of the ten queens featured in the show, according to their website. The five photographers will be on hand to sell their works and discuss the exhibit.
"Straights, lesbians, transfolk ... people young and old and racially diverse - Atlanta's legendary children connect with wider queer allies while strengthening social ties within their community," reads their press release. "Crowds come to see these queens perform the most off-the-wall and entertaining drag in the Southeast. Edie Cheezburger, 'rudeness in a wig,' delights audiences with jaw-dropping performances that range from Helen Keller to a Boca Raton retiree. Lavonia Elberton enchants as the only no-class, trailer-trash, gender fart witch in town. Violet Chachki wields feminine power as the city's preeminent burlesque queen."

Before the season, I sent my NFL season predictions to brother Steve. I will share them with you here. You will notice some great Nostradamus-like predictions and some serious crack-induced predictions. For the record, I had San Diego vs. Dallas in the Super Bowl.
NFC North: Detroit 11-5, GB 10-6, CHI 7-9, MN 5-11
NFC West: AZ 11-5, STL, 10-6, SF 8-8, SEA 7-9
NFC South: NO 12-4, TB 9-7, CAR 7-9, ATL 6-10
NFC East: DAL 10-6, WASH 10-6, PHI 7-9, NYG 6-10
AFC North: BALT 12-4, CLEVE 9-7, PITT, 6-10, CINCY 5-11
AFC West: DEN 12-4, SD 10-6, OAK, 7-9, KC 6-10
AFC South: INDY 12-4, HOU 9-7, TENN 6-10, JAX 5-11
AFC East: NYJ 11-5, NE 10-6, MIA 8-8, BUFF 6-10
I tend to want to just remember the picks that were close to being accurate: GB good, NFC North decent overall, Chicago crappy, TB good, Wash good, Dal good, Phil mediocre, Car mediocre, Cleve good, Cincy bad, Indy, good and Hou not bad. However, I can't ignore the horrendous picks I had either: StL being good, NO being great, NYG being well below .500, Sea being sub-par, Balt being great, Pitt being bad, Den winning division, Jax and Tenn stinking and perhaps the worst division of picks, NYJ being 11-5 and Miami being 8-8.
This was fun and next year, we will post all of our pre-season NFL picks on packergeeks.com so that we can be held fully accountable for the predictions we make.

TO VERA GEBBERT, who had told Lewis of her pregnancy and of her having read Isaiah 66:9 from the Bible she kept open on her dining table: On not wishing to be pregnant.
23 March 1953
Your first story (about mistaking [your pregnancy] for seasickness) is one of the funniest I ever heard. In our country there are usually alterations of shape which would throw grave doubts on the sea-sick hypothesis!… but no doubt you manage things better in America. Any way, congratulations and encouragements. As to wishing it had not happened, one can't help momentary wishes: guilt begins only when one embraces them. You can't help their knocking at the door, but one mustn't ask them in to lunch. And no doubt you have many feelings on the other side. I am sure you felt as I did when I heard my first bullet, 'This is War: this is what Homer wrote about.' For, all said and done, a woman who has never had a baby and a man who has never been either in a battle or a storm at sea, are, in a sense, rather outside—haven't really 'seen life'—haven't served. We will indeed have you in our prayers.
Now as to your other story, about Isaiah 66? It doesn't really matter whether the Bible was open at that page thru' a miracle or through some (unobserved) natural cause. We think it matters because we tend to call the second alternative 'chance.' But when you come to think of it, there can be no such thing as chance from God's point of view. Since He is omniscient His acts have no consequences which He has not foreseen and taken into account and intended. Suppose it was the draught from the window that blew your Bible open at Isaiah 66. Well, that current of air was linked up with the whole history of weather from the beginning of the world and you may be quite sure that the result it had for you at that moment (like all its other results) was intended and allowed for in the act of creation. 'Not one sparrow,' you know the rest [Matthew 10:29]. So of course the message was addressed to you. To suggest that your eye fell on it without this intention, is to suggest that you could take Him by surprise. Fiddle-de-dee! This is not Predestination: your will is perfectly free: but all physical events are adapted to fit in as God sees best with the free actions He knows we are going to do. There's something about this in Screwtape.
Meanwhile, courage! Your moments of nervousness are not your real self, only medical phenomena. All blessings.
From The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III
Compiled in Yours, Jack

Split huge files in Ubuntu or any other Linux distro
Recently I've bought WD TV media player for streaming full HD movies (primarily in 1080p resolution) to my home TV from external storage like usb HDD or ipod classic. You might already know that size of average HD movie rip is more than 4GB (e.g. full HD Avatar movie image is literally 21 GB mkv file) so it's just impossible to store such huge files on any FAT32 formatted HDD […]Read more →

DETROIT – A Winter Storm Watch will be in effect for Detroit and all of Southern Lower Michigan from Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night.
Monday morning will be cold, but dry with morning lows in the low 20s. Sunshine will emerge and more melting will occur in the afternoon with highs in the middle 30s. The wind will be light.
Monday's calm will give way to a storm brewing to Michigan's south. Tuesday will become cloudy. The system's warm sector arrives first with rain and a wintry mix by midday. As it tracks east, temps fall and so will snow in the afternoon and evening. Snow will be heavy at times Tuesday night and Wednesday morning with totals near 6 inches.
The snowstorm's forecast is preliminary. Stay tuned to Local 4 News and the Weather Page of ClickOnDetroit.com for any watches, warnings for forecast changes.
