The Master's Program
The History M.A.
The master's degree in history has been designed with several options in mind. It may be taken as a foundation for further advanced graduate work; as part of an individualized program that prepares students for a secondary teaching career; or as a terminal degree. Whichever option a student selects, faculty will stress the development of research techniques, analysis of historical data, and expository writing skills.
Students receiving a master's degree in history will be competent in research methodology, writing skills and content in selected areas of history. Opportunities include advanced work in history, teaching at the secondary level (with licensure) or in junior and community colleges. Additionally, graduates may apply for professional schools, e.g., in law, library science, theology, museum curatorship and archival work.
The UNC Catalog contains a full description of the requirements for this degree.

. . . "The Bernie Mac Show" (2001) is my life. It`s the truth, and I`m not ashamed of a minute, an hour, or a second of my life . . .
(interview in Playboy, 12/04) I have Glocks, .45s, Berettas, Remingtons. I like the marksmanship and the discipline that it takes to be a gun owner. I like the machinery. Being able to take it out and clean it is even more fascinating than having the gun.
(interview in Playboy, 12/04) I`m not a star, and I don`t want to be a star. Stars fall. I`m an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
(interview in Playboy, 12/04) Every time you see a black romance it`s over-the-top. There always has to be extreme hostility between the sexes. He has to cheat. She has to show him how independently strong she is, not just as a woman but as a black woman.
(interview in Playboy, 12/04) I was living in a place where I was harming myself. I was irresponsible. I`d lost several apartments. I couldn`t hold a job. I was tired of being a no-good son of a b*tch who called himself a man but was just a grown boy.

Whether your mobile phone is a feature phone or a smartphone, staying in touch with family and friends, keeping up with the news and weather, or playing the latest games has never been so effortless.
But there are risks. A stolen phone can result in the theft or loss of sensitive data—even your identity. It can compromise your bank or other online accounts, including apps that let you pay for items in physical stores with your phone (mobile wallets). Downloading a malicious app can do the same—as well as cost you money by setting your phone to automatically dial premium numbers (toll fraud).
Make these six simple practices a habit to help reduce your risk.
Lock your phone as well as your SIM card and mobile wallet (if you have them).
For your PIN, avoid numbers from your birth date, social security or national identification number, phone number, or the like. If you have a password option, use it and make the password strong.
Keep your PIN or password private. Period. Don't send it in email, instant, or text messages (they may not be secure), and don't store it on your phone.
Enable the feature that erases the phone if someone tries to guess the PIN too many times.
Turn on the service or download an app that helps you find your phone if it's lost or stolen. This allows you to ring your phone, locate it on a map, lock it, or erase its data—all remotely from your browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox). Note that this regularly reports the phone's location—and yours. Consider how long this history is retained and whether it can be shared or sold.
Phones are most susceptible to a kind of malicious software (malware) known as a Trojan horse. It hides in a seemingly harmless app like a ringtone or game, but contains hidden code designed to exploit or damage the system; running the app unleashes the malware on your phone.
Just as you do on your computer, accept and install all updates offered for both the phone itself and the apps on it.
Uninstall apps that you don't use.
Most phones will run only software that their operating system trusts. Jailbreaking (or unlocking) a phone enables it to run untrusted software, which is much more likely to carry a harmful virus.
Avoid clicking links in ads and contests that promise free prizes or gifts.
Watch out for text messages that look too good to be true.
If your phone works with Bluetooth technology or NFC standards (which support, for example, mobile wallets), turn them off if you're not using them. (Both technologies allow two devices to "talk" to each other wirelessly at close range.) This blocks unwanted downloads and keeps intruders from reading data stored on your phone.
Do not bank, shop, check email, or do other business that exposes your user name or password over "borrowed" or public Wi-Fi (like a hotspot). It's safer to use the mobile phone's network, which encrypts data as it is transmitted.
Be wary of features that offer to save user names or passwords in your browser and financial service or other apps that store sensitive data.
Share your location only with those you trust.
Many services—weather, movies, and maps, for example—personalize results by using location data from your phone's Global Positioning System (GPS) or nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers.
Your phone's camera can use GPS to automatically embed information about the spot where a photo was taken, called geotagging. Facebook and Twitter can also use GPS to geotag status messages and tweets posted from your phone. This can be a risk because you may not be able to control how that data is used and by whom.
Think carefully before you turn on geotagging.
Limit the apps that you allow to access your location and link to social media with care.
Get permission from others before you tag them in photos or check them in.
Back up your phone to your computer, cloud storage, or both.

The Echo Nest and Microsoft Turn the Web into One Big Music Player
October 21, 2013
Microsoft launched the latest version of Windows last week, version 8.1 — and with it, a great new way for music fans to listen to the songs and artists they encounter online.
Xbox Music Web Playlist is a new feature that scans all of the music available on a given Web page and creates a custom playlist in Xbox music with the simple touch of a button. Just share the Web page to the Xbox Music app on Windows 8.1, which takes seconds, and your music starts playing instantly.
This new tool is powered by The Echo Nest and turns the Web — music blogs, reviews, social shares, Wikipedia listings, radio station playlists, music festival Websites, and other music centric sites — into a massive music discovery engine.
Web Playlist has rolled out as part of Windows 8.1 for desktops, laptops, and tablet PCs. To use Microsoft's new Xbox Music Web Playlist feature, powered by The Echo Nest, music fans should:
Use Windows 8.1 in Modern mode (i.e. not Classic) with Internet Explorer (for people with Windows 8 devices, simply get the free update from the Windows Store to take advantage of the new feature).
Sign in with a Microsoft account.
Click the "Share" button in the Charms menu while looking at a Website with music on it, sharing the page to Xbox Music.
One thing music fans won't have to do in order to use Web Playlist is pay. It comes free with Windows 8.1, which is free for Windows 8 users, and it works with the free version of Xbox Music.
We're very pleased to be working with Microsoft on this innovative new music experience, especially considering the scale and reach of Microsoft Windows 8.1. Congrats to the Windows and Xbox Music teams on this very cool application.

Literally, when we dream we dream of this. Of the kind of nights it promises and remembers, of the of-so-delicate kiss and hush of Chantilly lace against the skin, of shadow on the body, of silk charmeuse tuxedo collars, and wide luxurious ribbon ties, of hoping that when we grew up we'd be the kind of women who wore these kinds of things. When we dream, we dream big, and, luckily for us, they tend to come true.

Found September 06, 2012 on Fox Sports Tennessee:
PLAYERS: Tim Hudson, Juan Francisco, Jhoulys Chacin, Craig Kimbrel, Dexter Fowler, Josh Rutledge, Jordan Pacheco, Wilin Rosario, Tyler Colvin, Brian McCann, Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons, Rob Scahill
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers
ATLANTA (AP) -- Tim Hudson pitched seven scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves posted their second straight 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, winning both times with an unearned run. This was an especially galling loss for the Rockies. Juan Francisco raced home with the lone run when Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin (2-5) dropped a routine throw back to the mound from his catcher. Chacin glanced over toward third before making the catch, the ball bouncing off the side of his glove and winding up between the mound and second base. Francisco alertly spotted the miscue and took off for the plate, making it with a headfirst slide. That was enough for Hudson (14-5), who stranded eight Colorado runners. Craig Kimbrel completed the shutout with a scoreless ninth for his 34th save. It was the first time in more than 28 years that a team won consecutive 1-0 games with unearned runs. The Los Angeles Dodgers were the last to do it, against the Cincinnati Reds on July 28-...

ZINESTER SPOTLIGHT: Anna Vo, 2013 #RaceRiotTour Member
[DESCRIPTION: Anna Vo, POCZP Touring Member]
Anna Vo was the first person to travel from outside the U.S. to volunteer with POCZP, as a touring member on last year's #RaceRiotTour. <3
To our delight, she's back! You can meet Anna at ALL 2013 #RaceRiotTour dates, as she is a full-time touring member <3
Anna will be providing mediation support as a grievance counsellor at all POCZP events and within our touring vehicle, as needs arise. Anna will function as part of the POCZP Wellness Team. We appreciate her service.
Anna works with different types of activist communities and sectors to address racism, power, privilege, gentrification, inclusive practices, squatting law (squashcampaign.org), community accountability and transformative justice. The most fun/rewarding part of it all is running empowerment workshops and programs for PoC only.
She also works for free on community consulted architectural projects in different cities/countries, and organizes free schools, fests, autonomous spaces, etc. She currently lives in Berlin where she works as a social worker, counsellor and mediator.
Anna has played music (hardcore, solo folk: annavo.bandcamp.com), etc.) for over 10 years, has run a black metal/noise/doom record label (An Out Recordings: anout.bandcamp.com) for 6 years, and is also forever making a comic, and finishing a novel about growing up Vietnamese in a government housing project in a white Australian beach town.
Her zines, posters, and other info can be downloaded here: annavo.wordpress.com. She currently plays guitar and sings in a xvx feminist dark hc band xfirstworldproblemx (xfirstworldproblemx.bandcamp.com) and screamo band broken 'ships (brokenships.bandcamp.com); and drums in doom/improv/noise band Mourning Star.
She is seeking work/housing/hangout opportunities in the United States :-) So, say hi!
Here's what Anna had to say about joining this year's Race Riot! Tour experience:
I couldn't pass up this opportunity to join the tour again this year. There were so many beautiful, challenging, reflective, strong moments during last year's Race Riot! tour.
The power of intentional space-making was palpable, and we got emotional, we processed in different ways, and at different rates.
I'm looking forward to this tour, and a possible change in focus… Although I appreciate my DIY punk bubble, I'm excited about sharing with a broader cross-section of people, and working with inspiring PoC struggles from lots of different perspectives (especially around indigenous sovereignty in North America).
There's lots of crappy dispiriting things going on in our shitty world (the 'justice' system, remorseless violence, exploitation, trafficking, abuses of power) and while we fight for small shifts or big changes, what keeps us going is making genuine, awesome connections with lovely people with common goals of social justice.
I'll be finishing three zines especially for this tour, one of which reflects on the 6 years of the NT Intervention in Australia, my perzine The Swan the Vulture #4, and another is the latest issue of Fix My Head, now co-editted with Osa from Shotgun Seamstress.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
- Meet the first-ever #RaceRiotTour wellness team <3
- Meet Tracey Brown, 2013 #RaceRiotTour dedicated driver/mediator! <3
- Meet Nyky Gomez, POCZP distro partner & 2013 #RaceRiottour member
- Meet Nia King, 2013 #RaceRiotTour member
We will share more 2013 #RaceRiotTour member bios between now and our kickoff date, October 3, 2013 in NOLA. We have 19 confirmed touring members so far <3 Bookmark our #RaceRiotTour landing page, as we will update it with all bio links and other important information in the coming days.
If everyone in our community gave $10, we would more than meet our fundraising goal for 2013. If you have it to spare, we appreciate your support. All funds go to our 2013 tour, the Legacy Series and the poverty zine series.

immigrants, poor people, queer people of color, disabled folks, women (esp trans women of color) and gender-nonconforming folks if you are in academia and you don't feel smart enough, remember that you are in the playground and training grounds of the elite. academia was not designed to include you. you are surviving something that has been systemically designed to exclude you in order to keep power in the hands of white, middle class, able bodied cis-men.
knowing this, don't let academia train you to believe that elitism is the right way to make it through school. you can learn shit, hold the knowledge of your people in your heart, discard shame for your humble beginnings and/or marginalized identities. move through this experience knowing that the changes it offers you don't have to include accepting academic elitism, inaccessible language or superiority. you can can simultaneously own the privilege that comes with being college educated and connections to your roots. academia does not have to kill your spirit.
fabian romero- indigenous immigrant queer boi writer, facilitator and community organizer (via fabianromero)
THIS. THIS FOREVER. POC zinesters have gone on to navigate the complex underbelly of the academy. Their writing - before, during and after academia - inspires many of us.
A zine can be just as transformative as an academy-approved text. Don't be afraid to share your truth.
COMMUNITY SUBMISSION: 'Think About the Bubbles,' a new zine about mental health and self care
ZINE TITLE: Think About the Bubbles
AUTHOR: Joyce Hatton
RELEASE DATE: January, 2013
ORIGIN: Fargo, ND
DISTRIBUTION: "Most of the copies will be distributed in Portland, Vancouver, Brooklyn, and a fewer number in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Lismore, Australia."
JOYCE ON TUMBLR: http://airhornoftruthandlove.tumblr.com
'Think About the Bubbles' is about my struggle to keep my mental health stable. My goals are to validate the thought processes of people with mental health issues; and to give people without mental health issues a glimpse of what life is like with one.
People who have read my zine have had very strong reactions- many people have cried, but they always clarify that they aren't sad tears. People laugh, people talk about the ways they can relate, and people talk about the larger issues of mental health. That is my ultimate goal.
What I like most about it- I love how honest and heartfelt it turned out. It's my first zine, and I love how empowering and esteem-building it felt to make it. Thanks!
Joyce is also on Facebook.
BIO: "I started this page when I had cancer and I knew something was changing. I told myself "I refuse to let cancer _change anything._" but I lost. Everything has changed, and I'm really happy about that. I'm on a kickassed journey."
If you want delectable and inspiring updates like this in your news feed, subscribe to Joyce:
Things that make me feel happy: post-chemo ponytails, rigorous honesty, thinking about visiting my friend in Portland and legally going pants-less, kids laughing about butts and farts, hearing what makes other people happy…. so what makes you happy?
Joyce has not yet (publicly) shared price info or online ordering instructions. If you would like access to Joyce's zine, send a message to their Tumblr.

When you submit, feel free to add some background, a description of your work and art and your mission statement. If you just send us the name of your zine, we'll simply link back to a source for purchasing it and use the language you already have on your site.

COMMUNITY SUBMISSION: Unsewing My Lips #1, a zine is about self-care and defense
This is atiah*'s first zine, and our first Community Submission from London, so we wanted to honor both things by sharing an excerpt with you now:
Hello days and nights in.
Hello intentional communities. Hello studying. Hello parents. Hello zining. Hello drawing. Hello parallel play and study groups. Hello collaborative journalling.
Hello black feminist queers, who may or may not be dykes. Hello visibility and audibility. Hello cis, ableist, class, education, nationality/ citizenship/ status privilege acknowledgement. Hello wholesome cooking. Hello pottering around in the garden. Hello poking around in the soil.
Hello walking amongst trees.
Hello foraging. Hello garlic on my windowsill. Hello rustling leaves. Hello books. Hello breath.
Hello LIFE.
TITLE: Unsewing My Lips (you can download for free!)
RELEASE: Summer 2012
CREATOR: atiah z
ORIGIN: London, England
My first zine is about self care and defence:
"SELF CARE! coming to voice, recovery from abuses of intimacy, hair, looking after myself, celibacy, abstinence, ending my silence, fear, learning, confidence, creating, dropping out of "The" "Anarchist" scene, London, friends, Queer People of Colour, trees <3"
In general, I write about a variety of stuff; most recently I've been writing poetry about queer a/sexuality & abstinence. I guess I write about my experiences.
I feel a gaping absence of blackness in my life. I'm enjoying my increasing afrocentricism, but — as dear to me as my black friends are and as much as I love my own company — it's a bit lonely at the moment.
I'll be recruiting for rad queers of colour to add to my friends' circle at the London Queer Zine Fest, on 8th December, where I have half a table.
KEYWORDS: self-care, self-defence, survivor, abuses of intimacy, recovery, celibacy, ending my silence, speaking out, speak out, coming to voice, personal, perzine, race, zine, zines
WHERE TO BUY AND COST: £2 (for print - digital is free) or trades welcome.
SAY HI: Email queerly[@]riseup.net for details of where to send well-concealed cash, or you can buy from the zine distro at 56a Infoshop (Elephant & Castle, South London).
In the interest of sharing this widely, POCZP has made it possible to easily read Unsewing My Lips #1 within this post. Please consider contacting atiah to purchase a print version or to trade!

At an age when many people are "slowing down," Robert Beal is in constant motion. He runs his own company, plays squash and travels the world. (At last count, he has visited more than 70 countries, including Belgium, India, Ireland and Morocco.) When Beal visited his doctor for a routine physical in 2008, he expected it to be, well, routine.
Instead, he learned he had an elevated prostate specific antigen, or PSA, level. (A PSA test is a simple blood test that screens for prostate cancer.) "It was totally out of the blue," Beal said.
Because a PSA test cannot diagnosis cancer, his family physician referred Beal to a local urologist, who performed a biopsy. Beal, who has no family history of cancer, was confident. But just days after the biopsy, he learned he had a fairly aggressive type of prostate cancer.
Beal decided to get a second opinion before deciding on a course of treatment. A friend recommended the Prostate and Urologic Cancer Program at Froedtert & the Medical College.
Patients like Beal, who want access to an expert opinion before making decisions, often seek second opinions. The prostate and urologic cancer physicians at Froedtert & the Medical College are specialists with extremely focused areas of expertise. That unparalleled expertise means patients who consult the Prostate and Urologic Cancer Program can be sure they're receiving the most current treatment options available for their cancer.
When Beal called the Froedtert & the Medical College Clinical Cancer Center, he was connected with Stacy Schroeter, new patient coordinator for the Prostate and Urologic Cancer Program. She helped Beal obtain appropriate medical records and scheduled him for appointments with William A. See, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin urologic surgeon and Colleen Lawton, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin radiation oncologist, both of whom specialize in prostate and other urologic cancers.
Heidi Stark, RN, BSN, OCN, a nurse coordinator for the program, was another important initial connection for Beal. She provides support, answers questions and guides patients and families through every step of the cancer journey.
"I help patients get the expert care they need," Stark said.
Because prostate cancer can be treated with a variety of modalities, including surgery, radiation and medical options (drugs, hormone therapy), selecting a treatment method can overwhelm patients and families. Appropriate treatment varies from patient to patient and minimizing side effects while effectively treating the cancer requires a delicate balance.
Thankfully, Beal's cancer was caught early and was confined to the prostate gland. Drs. Lawton and See, Beal said, decided he would be a good candidate for a radical prostatectomy, as opposed to radiation alone.
Beal had his prostate gland surgically removed at Froedtert & the Medical College in March 2008. His post-surgical recovery was uncomplicated, and Beal went home shortly thereafter. (At Froedtert & the Medical College, quality data shows the average time from check-in for ambulatory surgery – open prostatectomy – to discharge from the hospital is 45 hours.)
Today, Beal is cancer-free. He returns to Froedtert & the Medical College for follow-up visits and recommends the Prostate and Urologic Cancer Program to his friends. "I just told a friend, 'You've really got to get out to Froedtert,'" Beal said. "I will be forever grateful for all that Froedtert & the Medical College did for me."
The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center offers comprehensive care in one location. Each specialized cancer program includes a complete team of physician experts who focus on a particular form of cancer or group of related cancers. For patients, the benefits are completely coordinated treatment and the most advanced care available.

Legendary Guitarist Slash Releases Two iOS Apps, With A Game In The Works
When you're a Grammy-winning legend firmly ensconced in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, people tend to cut you a break — IE, they might hope and pray that you'll release new tunes, but most of the time they're happy to just listen to your records on repeat, remembering the glory days in a fond haze. Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash is certainly not among the aforementioned laurels-resters, however — not only did he recently drop his second solo record, Apocalyptic Love featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, he's also leapt into the digital age with two iOS apps that enhance both the music-listening and music-making experiences.
Although Slash has officially entered the "artists who have apps" realm (which includes pretty much every artist at this point — even Luddites like M. Ward), he admits that he's not really that into technology.
"I never got into computers for computers' sake," Slash says. "I probably didn't even get my first laptop until 2004. I'm very old-school and I do things the way that I've always done them. Then I find little things here and there that actually function that I can use and I add them to my old-school philosophies."
One of those little things was AmpliTube from IK Multimedia, a suite of tone creation software and apps for guitar and bass. Slash started using the products in 2010, around the time he was making his first solo record, Slash. The company approached him about doing his own personal app using his signature pedals and amplifiers at the time and Slash agreed. The creation process took a few years, and the finished product — AmpliTube Slash edition — dropped in June. Now, any Guns 'N Roses fan — or curious musician — can play and record with Slash's pedals, guitar tone settings, and amps on the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Mac/PC. The whole deal costs around $15, unless you spring for AmpliTube Custom Shop, which will cost you around $79.99.
"When I picked up the guitar, the only tools that were anything close to this were mostly books," Slash says. "Books and those cassette decks that had the internal mic. I never thought about what we were going to be doing 20 years down the line."
While Slash's AmpliTube app was conceptualized before the release of his sophomore album, Slash 360 for iOS was created in concert with Apocalyptic Love. The app gives users a 360-degree view of the recording process, taking them into the studio with Slash and Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. The idea for the app came after Slash saw a 360-degree music video courtesy of MATIvision, a multi-camera 360-degree interactive video system. "I was just like, 'This is amazing.' That very personal, interactive experience of watching a concert," he says. "I thought it would be great if we did something like that with an album, where you could record the recording process."
So the band brought in MATIvision to do just that, filming Slash and Co. in the studio to create an app that allows users to navigate the landscape while jamming to the recording process. It's kind of reminiscent of BEP360, the Black Eyed Peas' 360-degree music video app. Listen to the whole album with the $4.99 version of the app, or, if you're feeling skint, shell out $0.99 to for the light version, featuring the single "You're A Lie."
"Each time you watch it it's a different experience, because you can do whatever you want, Slash says. "It's very much in the moment and a very personal interactivity."
Although Slash isn't really into many other apps — beyond those he uses for music-making — he does admit that he's a fan of the Angry Birds game series. "I think that game is genius actually," he says. "I'm a big fan of animation."
That love of animation, it seems, will soon bleed over into Slash's techie franchise: He tells us that there's a Slash game in the works. Unlike the bevy of band Facebook games out there, Slash's game will likely live on mobile. "I'm not very much of a Facebook guy," he says. "I've never really been one to use it personally, so I only think of stuff in terms of mobile."
A mobile-first mindset, Slash? We think you're more modern than you previously supposed.

And personally, I'd hate to see an environment where the majority of the playerbase is left in the dark about developer intentions and their vision for the game simply because a vocal minority can't be relied on to behave in a realistic and mature manner.
Blizzard putting stuff like that out far in advance, well before they start working on it isn't just a nicety; the (well reasoned) feedback they get informs their designs, and that's what makes the game great, in my opinion; they don't just dump stuff on us and say "this is what you're getting," they actually take player's opinions into consideration.
Personally, I'd ask what's so wrong with the current system? Blizzard gives us this early insight, most of us comment on it in a reasonable manner, and we all continue to laugh at the idiots ranting about broken promises.

i agree to a point. i agree that it is a dominant narrative that needs to be disrupted.
lawyers come from many different backgrounds. indeed, some lawyers have been engineers and scientists. they take that training with them wherever their career leads. it is the system that is flawed, not necessarily the people inside it.
the profession of law is incredibly multifaceted. at this stage, it might be appropriate to reflect on how much of life is actually regulated by law and how narrow life is inside of a laboratory.

Fort Wayne police have identified the officer who suffered serious injuries late Thursday when his squad car crashed into a pole.
About 10 p.m., officer Michael McEachern was driving south on Wayne Trace, just north of Drexel Avenue. He was responding to an emergency call, with the squad car's lights and sirens on, police said.
McEachern lost control of the car for unknown reasons and went off the west side of the road, striking a small tree and a pole next to a former gas station.
The crash left McEachern pinned in the car. Rescue workers freed him, and he was taken to a hospital, where he remained Friday in serious condition, police said.
According to McEachern's personnel file, he was suspended for a day without pay because he missed a day of work in 2012. He received a letter of reprimand for what was determined to be a preventable crash in 2006 and another letter of reprimand regarding his seat belt and shoulder harness in 2008, his file showed.
It's not clear whether he was wearing a seat belt at the time of Thursday's crash, which Fort Wayne police are investigating.

Regarded by many Ford enthusiasts as one of the finest designs to own, the 1934 model year is quite the prize for any collector! Minor styling alterations marked the 1934 model body lines with racked front grill with wide surround, vertical hood slats with two release levers instead of one, and slightly smaller headlights & cowl lamps made for an incredibly handsome car that mimicked much more expensive vehicles of the same era. Engine durability was improved and the 112" wheelbase frame was redesigned for added strength. The speedy Ford V-8 which increased output to 85 horsepower was a favorite of many buyers, including the notorious John Dillinger and Bonnie & Clyde!
We are very pleased to offer this beautiful 1934 Ford Model 40B Deluxe Cabriolet! Finished in a new base coat/ clear coat application of Ford Maroon with Red pinstripe and wheels, and Dark Brown Leatherette interior and Tan Lebaron Bonney canvass convertible top! Features include 221ci L-Head V8, 3-speed floor-shifted manual transmission, 17" wheel spoke wheels with trim rings, Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires, rear mounted spare with steel wheel cover, interior rearview mirror with FORD clock, cigarette lighter & ashtray, greyhound hood mascot, rear rumble seat, and Deluxe appointments that include dual chrome horns, cowl lamps, painted wood-grain dash & garnish moldings, dual rear lamps, and interior armrests.
Our example was last fully restored many years ago prior to entering the Bud Mick collection located in the Detroit, MI area. It traded hands just one time after his passing in early 2007 and appeared to be used only sparingly by both owners. It was cosmetically restored in June of 2013 upon its arrival to the St. Louis Car Museum to include a professional exterior repaint, all new hand-masked pin striping, and new custom made convertible top & boot cover. The engine was freshened with new spark plugs, carburetor rebuilt, fuel tank drained, interior speedometer rebuilt with new interior wiring harness, and all new fresh fluids. It continues to start with ease and run down the road wonderfully! They are charming cars to see on out on the street, and command attention at every stoplight! This car's presentation has been enhanced superbly with stunningly smooth paint! Please feel free to call with additional questions, or schedule an opportunity to view this vehicle in person! We look forward to working with you!

Your dream vacation is finally at hand, and you're off to Paris for the food, museums and culture. Or maybe you're snorkeling off the coast of Florida or camping in the Pacific Northwest.
No matter where you're headed, you can help ensure a safe and healthy trip by taking a few important steps before you leave.
Get ready
If you're visiting a foreign country, your starting point should be your doctor's office. Your appointment should be four to six weeks before your trip, says Gordon Trenholme, MD, director of the Section of Infectious Diseases at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. "Make sure your routine immunizations, such as tetanus, diphtheria, polio and hepatitis A, are up to date," he says.
Additional preparation depends on your destination and may include yellow fever or meningococcal vaccines and preventive medicine for malaria, such as malarone.
Get set
Take a big step toward a trouble-free trip by packing a travel health kit. Include a list of important medical information, such as your medical conditions, allergies and current medications, advises Dino Rumoro, DO, clinical chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Rush. Add important phone numbers, such as those of your primary care doctor and health insurance company. Also pack these basics in your kit:
Once you're under way, unwind and have fun. But it's always best to play it safe with your health. "Your travel pack can't solve every problem," Rumoro says. "If you think you need a doctor, don't hesitate to get help." Learn how to get health care abroad at www.cdc.gov/travel.

It seems most guys run the 175 grain bullets in the 308 Win.
Why are most people running a 1/10- 1/11 twist???
If a 1/13 will work
A 1/12 or 1/11.25 seems like a better choice. I have always heard it is better to over stabilize than under stabilize. It seems though that shooters should run a optimium twist rate. If this does not hold true we would all shoot with the fastest twist rate avaliable.
I am about to have a 308 WIN built. I do not plan on going heavier than a 175. The 175 is my first choice and the 155 my second.

Reality Diving Show Splash Sends Another Celebrity to the Hospital
I've been sucked into the ABC show Splash because of my kids...they love it. Since I'm already watching with them, I decided early on to find something about it to like...and that ended up being Nicole Eggert. Her story is pretty cool and I've been rooting for her ever since. Well, TMZ.com reports that she was hospitalized last Thursday after a high dive went wrong. :/
Sources tell TMZ the former Baywatch star was attempting a dive that included multiple back flips, but something went wrong and she landed in the water back first. The sources said the impact looked so painful, on-site EMTs rushed to pull the 41-year-old Eggert out of the pool and transport her to a nearby hospital.
Splash insiders say Eggert didn't break any bones, and was released from the hospital a few hours later, but doctors are keeping an eye on her for any internal injuries and are monitoring her kidneys in particular.
There is a long list of injured contenders... Chuy Bravo, Chelsea Handler's assistant on her late night E! talk show, withdrew from the competition after fracturing his heel during diving practice and Miss Alabama USA, Katherine Webb, bowed out last week due to a back injury. Extreme skier Rory Bushfield ruptured his eardrum in a dive a few weeks ago, but refused to quit the show.
Nicole had some trouble with a dive early on in the show...check it out below...
Hope she is ok! You can watch Splash Tuesday nights at 7pm CST on ABC.

Chapter One0 Reviews
All Mikey wants when he gets back from hiatus is some peace and quiet, but when he finally does get what he wants, will it be what he expected? (Slash, slightly strange pairing)
He towed himself into the bathroom, a slight breeze chilling him as he opened the door. He shivered; it was colder in there than he'd expected. He tried to ignore it and turned on the faucet, reaching furtively into the shower while gripping the door with one hand, hoping not to get sprayed when the tap was turned on fully. He grimaced as he was splattered with the cold water. He didn't really know why, though; he would be getting in anyway.
He wriggled out of his pajamas and dropped them on the floor, stepping into the shower with one foot, then the other, testing the temperature. He always washed in the hottest water he could stand in the morning. It woke him up easier than without. The water scorched his back, running down between his shoulder blades and along his legs, swirling into the rusty drain at the bottom of the shower. He listened to the screeching of the pipes in the wall, trailing his hand absently over the white tiling. Water dripped from the glass door and the cold metal knobs ornamenting the stall. His fingers slipped to his side, and he bent to pull the washcloth from where it was hanging over the railing.
It was almost seven-o-clock. He had the band to return to.
Mikey had always liked his brother's hugs. Gerard gave gentle hugs; the kind that felt like the hugger was afraid they would crush the hugged's bones if they squeezed any tighter. But Gerard's hugs were firm at the same time. Mikey knew he'd been missed.
"So how's the wife?" Ray asked, throwing his arms over Mikey's shoulder as they walked from the hotel. "It's been a while since we saw her last, huh?"
Mikey smiled. "Yeah, guess so… Ali's going to tonight's show… Backstage, you know?" He shrugged, Ray's arm moving along with the action.
"Ahh," Ray responded, nodding. He removed the weight from Mikey's shoulder and hooked his fingers in his pockets. They were approaching the bands' temporary transportation for the day. "That's cool. She shaking off the jet lag now?"
Mikey nodded. He ducked into the van when Ray held the door for him, hopping in after him and sliding the door closed. Frank was already situated in the seat beside his, flipping through the set list for the night and that day's agenda. Minutes later Gerard and Bob had finally joined them. The engine started as Mikey's gaze drifted out the fogged window. There wasn't much to do but stare into space.

Science seldom proceeds in the straightforward and logical manner imagined by outsiders. Instead, its steps forward (and sometimes backward) are often very human events in which personalities and cultural traditions play major roles (ix).
What turns this story into such a dramatic and suspenseful account is the author's decision to present it without the perspective of hindsight. That is, he could have neatly but drily recounted the events knowing what he knew after they had all taken place. Instead, he tells the story of this discovery as he and his colleagues were moving through the process itself, allowing the reader to enjoy the thrills of the breakthroughs as they occur. This approach humanizes the scientists, showing their flaws and errors, and demystifies science, at least to some degree, by showing the roles which non-rational or irrational factors play in the scientific process and even in such remarkable di

Rare Explosion Created Galaxy's Youngest Black Hole
New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest a highly distorted supernova remnant may contain the most recent black hole formed in the Milky Way galaxy. The remnant appears to be the product of a rare explosion in which matter is ejected at high speeds along the poles of a rotating star.
The remnant, called W49B, is about a thousand years old as seen from Earth and located about 26,000 light-years away.

By Santanu Choudhury
NEW DELHI--Boeing Co. (BA) said Thursday it has expanded a partnership with Bharat Electronics Ltd. (500049.BY), with the Indian state-run firm contracted to make more components for the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet.
Bharat Electronics has been supplying components to Boeing for the Super Hornet as well as the P-8I maritime reconnaissance and antisubmarine aircraft since 2011.
Under the new deal, Bharat Electronics will supply subassemblies including power panels, switch assembly and cockpit console panels for the Super Hornet, Boeing said in a statement.
The value of the new contract wasn't specified.
Dennis Swanson, president of international business development for Boeing Defense, Space & Security in India, said the partnership with Bharat Electronics is part of the company's strategy to work with Indian companies to develop products and expand its business globally.
Boeing and Bharat Electronics have a joint facility in India's technology hub of Bangalore to test military products. Besides Bharat, Boeing also has tie-ups with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Infosys Technologies Ltd., Wipro Ltd. and the Tata Group.
In the past few years, Boeing has received orders from India for supplying ten C-17 Globemaster airlifters and eight P-8I planes. It has also been selected as the preferred vendor to supply 15 Chinook CH-47F heavy-lift helicopters and 22 AH-64D Block-III Apache attack helicopters.

"Meditation leads the practitioner along a well-defined path from confused mind to a mind that is clear and strong "
~~~ Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
I decided to use the same quote and photo for this blog post as the subject material is continuing from the previous post. You may recall that we talked about setting up a basic routine of regular, daily meditation. We talked about placing our focus on the breath. We talked about how, when the thoughts inevitably come popping onto your mind, to just let them go and bring your focus back to your breath. As we also mentioned last time, a meditation practice is basic to Buddhist Belief. It was the intention of the writing last time to help you to either get started with a regular meditation practice routine, or to continue with your existing practice. So, this time, let's continue with these thoughts and see where it leads us.
Hopefully, you have now learned what it feels like to keep your mind on your breath as you meditate. When the discursive thoughts and other distractions take your focus off the breath, we now know better how to bring ourselves back to the breath. This is a sort of continual placement – one where we find we are becoming better able to maintain our mindfulness and awareness.
Of course, one of the reasons why this is easier to do is because we have a better understanding of the purpose behind why we are doing this practice. We have found this is the perfect way to bring us a few moments of peaceful abiding. We are beginning to see the futility of outside concerns, fantasies, thoughts and emotions. We are finding it's alright to give those things up for the time we are meditating. The world isn't going to end because we didn't give these distractions our attention for a few moments. We can see the benefits. This is beginning to look like a good thing to be doing every day.
Soon this ability to be at rest during our meditations will become more normal. You'll begin to find how your time to keep the focus on your breath without disruptive thoughts will increase. Your practice will become more and more refined as you continue. Our mindfulness is becoming more mature and stable. We're able to stay in the present more easily. When our mind does depart, as it will, it's usually to chase after some little pleasure or unfinished task. As you continue with your practice you will see how you can return to the breath with greater ease. When we were in the early stages of our learning and training of our minds, it seemed like being able to keep our focus in the present was a real chore. But now, as your practice begins to mature, we find our mindfulness is much more potent.
Since we are all human beings, there will be days when our practice was everything we hoped it would be and other days where it wasn't. The good thing is that the longer you keep up with your daily practice routine the fewer dissatisfying meditations you will experience. The key factors are being gentle with yourself, being consistent with your practice and maintaining a good attitude.
Soon, as you continue with your practice you will enter a stage where you will experience very little distraction. You will be able to keep your focus solidly on your breath. You will be in a place where your mind will become more stable than you ever imagined.
More on this next time.
Metta ….May I be well and happy. My I live in safety. May I be healthy and strong. May I live with ease. May all beings be well and happy. May all beings live in safety. May all beings be healthy and strong. May all beings live with ease.
Namaste — Be in Peace.

Stephanie Kaza — Hooked!: Buddhist Writings on Greed, Desire, and the Urge to Consume
Stephanie Kaza, an amazing writer and Buddhist teacher I knew from my 36 years living in Vermont, gathers key Buddhist thinkers to reflect upon aspects of consumerism, greed and economics. Certainly, many other authors have examined consumerism from the lens of their religious traditions, but this book's Buddhist perspective is unusual, and its pairing of consumerist critiques with core Buddhist concepts is generally fruitful. Check this one out! Hooked!
Stephanie Kaza — Mindfully Green: A Personal and Spiritual Guide to Whole Earth Thinking
Another one from my Vermont friend — Stephanie Kaza, a biologist and professor of Environmental Studies at University of Vermont, combines Zen Buddhist practices and teachings with her 40 years as an environmentalist for this guide to enlightened environmentalism, proposing a belief in the interdependence of people and nature as the genuine way to "go green": "When we come to see ourselves as part of the green web of life… we are naturally drawn to respond with compassion." A good read for Buddhists or anyone from any religion. Mindfully Green
Anam Thubten — No Self – No Problem
No Self – No Problem
shows how to realize the ultimate meaning of life in each moment by dissolving all notions of ego-identity. It asks that spiritual seekers wake up to their true nature, which is already enlightened. Based on Buddhist wisdom traditions, this easy-to-read book discusses in simple, but profound and inspiring language, how we can live a life full of love, satisfaction, and happiness. No Self – No Problem
Sharon Salzberg — The Kindness Handbook
"It takes boldness, even audacity, to step out of our habitual patterns and experiment with a quality like kindness–to work with it and see just how it might shift and open up our lives. This book is an invitation to do just that. — From The Kindness Handbook
Eckhart Tolle's amazing best seller, A New Earth
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's wonderful book, My Stroke of Insight: Nirvana is just a breath away!
And this one by Sharon Salzberg and is entitled: A Heart as Wide as the World: Living with Mindfulness, Wisdom and Compassion".
This is a new one for you by Pema Chodron entitled: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
Always remember this wonderful quote from Buddha ….
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
~~~ Buddha
Shanti everyone, … (A sanscrit word meaning, "Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.")
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
~~~ Buddha
Have a peaceful day!! —

A poem all about music and what it does to me and stuff
how I love it so,
it changes me,
it makes me new.
It makes me happy,
it makes me sad,
it makes me feel unstoppable,
like I can be who I want.
When I listen to the beat and words,
my heart beats along with it,
my mind wanders into a world of it's own,
and I can see things, that no one else can see.
I see a world, where everyone's happy,
I see my memories,
I see a life, a different life,
set to a different tune.
With music,
I can be myself,
and not like anybody else,
music just speaks to me,
in ways you'd never imagine.
Music, how I love it so,
the words, the beat,
the instruments to life,
the instruments of my life.

The Bengals and Alabama CB Dre' Kirkpatrick have agreed yesterday to a 4-year deal worth $8.6 million, with $7.84 million guaranteed. The deal got done not because of Mike Brown's amazingly cheap negotiating tactics, but because every draft pick is slotted with a set salary that dictates a players salary by the position he was selected, not how much his team wants to over/underpay him.
The new NFL CBA has been one of the greatest things to ever happen to the Bengals franchise, as its in essence been an anti-Mike Brown agreement in that NFL teams could no longer squeeze first-round picks for every penny possible, leading to long holdouts as we've seen with players like Andre Smith, who missed almost half of the 2009 training camp due to his holdout, then returned out of shape and fractured his foot and essentially had a lost rookie season.

A stuntwoman who was severely injured during an accident on the set of "Justified" is suing producers ... claiming they are responsible for her broken bones ... and her broken marriage.
TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by Lisa Hoyle -- who claims that during a stunt for the show in 2011, a vehicle on the set smashed into a parked car ... which ran over her ankle and sent her crashing into the ground.
Lisa claims she lost consciousness and suffered an open head fracture, soft-tissue injuries, bruising and lacerations.
In her suit, Lisa claims she was never informed the parked car was part of the stunt ... because the stunt coordinator held a meeting about the stunt while she was out getting a snack.
And if the injuries weren't bad enough, Lisa and her husband claim their "marital relations" deteriorated because of the accident ... and they separated as a result.
Both Lisa and her husband are seeking unspecified damages. So far, no comment from the "Justified" people.
We need more news
news flash.. your husband never loved you just his ankle jobs
Isn't the stunt person responsible for checking out and approving the safety of the stunt? Sue yourself, because you suck at your job
I thought this was what stunt people did for a living That's a dangerous job she is doing pay attention be alert .Be aware of changes from the director and stunt coordinator .she wasn't ready for her scene she missed a meeting .First thought that came to me she wasn't concern she wanted a snack .I would think it was her fault
You are supposed to stick buy your partner no matter what. If she split up over that, the marriage wasn't going to last anyway.
If they are explaining the stunt, why are you out getting a snack, sorry girl nobody is going to pay for your stupidity.
It will probably come down to the specifics around the safety meeting. It is customary to call everyone to the set for these meetings, and especially if you're part of the stunt. Getting a snack is not a good excuse, and frankly, doesn't sound very credible.
Don't stunt people have insurance for this kind of thing?
If she had a vaginal mesh mishap, I could understand her sueing because of the strain on her marriage and sex life. She only broke her ankle, I do not get the correlation!
I hope the car's okay. Them crashes are brutal.
I just found this on google it was in a forum and her friend wrote this
Lisa is a stunt women here in LA. This morning at about 1:30AM she was struck by a vehicle doing a non-stunt activity on the set, I believe (but I don't know for sure) the vehicle was being driven by an "Extra" resetting for a scene on a TV show (not one of my shows). She sustained massive brain trama and is in ICU in critical condition.
That's a shame that someone put a gun to her head and forced her to do such a dangerous job.
the snack was negligent as it diverted her attention to forsake on set meeting & instructions.......can't make this stuff up! Betcha she's she's from Alabama or Tennessee!
It's common for both to sue. I was on a jury where a women was bitten by a dog on her arm while on someone else's property. She and her hubby said it had a negative impact on their sex life and marriage, physically and mentally. We the jury didn't buy it.
Probably should get more details before you judge. She did not just break her ankle. Open skull fracture in the hospital for over 3 months. Had to learn how to walk again. Doctors didn't expect her to live the first night. Traumatic brain injuries can cause a lifetime of side effects. She missed the stunt meeting cause she wasn't informed of it. They went behind her back and changed things.

Beautiful Sunday: Oh Hokkien Me!
Hokkien Mee, aka HKM, is one of the most famous dishes from Penang. Locals eat this noodles-in-a-bowl any time of day – for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and even supper. Down south, it is known as Mee Yoke or Har Meen (Prawn Noodles) so please don't make the mistake of ordering Hokkien Mee as what you will get put in front of you is a plate of thick fat noodles fried with dark soya sauce and eaten with sambal belacan. We call that Hokkien Char. Confused? Don't blame you, but don't worry - you'll soon get the hang of it!
Making the soup is quite a laborious task which involves a lot of fresh prawns which are cooked then shelled. However, the shells (particularly the shrimp heads) are not discarded: water is added to them, then they are blended and sieved, to ensure every last drop of essence is extracted. This is usually boiled up with tua kut (large pork bones), although pork-free versions are made with chicken or beef stock, and extra seafood like dried shrimp and cuttle fish to give it added taste.
Like the other famous Penang favourites, Hokkien Mee is available at practically every coffee shop or street corner, restaurant or food court. The subject of which stall serves the best HKM can get quite emotional at times, as everyone has their own favourite. In one of my first columns for Star's Sunday Metro I naively wrote about what I thought was the best in Penang, fully expecting either poison pen letters or a bullet in an envelope, and indeed it roused some heated responses, some writing in to concur, others to lambast me.
In Penang you don't just get good food – it makes a great topic for discussion!

The Sloppy Drunkards, everyone's favorite Irish pub / punk rockers are back with a new set of beer soaked anthems and whiskey fueled waltzes that will surely please anyone who likes newsboy caps and leprechaun tattoos. This is their 20th album of their long career and it's easily their best and most diverse work.
Opener "A Drink to the Fallen Soldiers (Woah Oh)" kicks off the album with a bang, or more precisely a gang bang. By this I mean there is anthemic gang singing throughout. (Though gang bangs are also a frequent lyrical theme favored by the band.) Singer Patrick O'Seamus says of the song, "I fucking love that shitt… Blarney shitfuck…..It's like…..(vomits)" and he couldn't be more right on as far as I'm concerned.
The band formed in Boston in the early 90s and became an instant favorite on the local pub scene. The band gained praise for their party jams, "Let's Drink (Woah Oh)" and "Whiskey Rose (Woah Oh)" and for their white, Irish Catholic heritage. As their success and prominence grew, so did their famous, or should I say infamous, reputation at live shows.
The band was known for fighting with audience members, or between themselves, especially on the song "Let's Fight (Oy Oy)." Sometimes they would show up to gigs in the wrong day or city all together or just skip gigs completely. Fans of the band began calling these "Phantom Shows" and bootlegs of these shows became very popular on the band's message board community.
Throughout the band's existence there have been many times that one might consider a rock bottom, but not for O'Seamus and the Drunkards. Performing live on Carson Daly's After Dark, O'Seamus vomited all over Carson's face and then continue to eat handfuls of his own puke. The incidence was seen by many as contributing to Daly's continuing eating disorder. In 2001 the released the album "Rock Bottom," an album with no intelligible lyrics and most songs ending abruptly. Producer Jimmy "Big-Time" Roberts later recalled it as the most embarrasing project he has been a part of. The music video for the song "BLRgrg (Yeah Yeah Woah)" was nothing more than a crudely shot mash-up of band's favorite tv shows and sex tapes. Rolling Stone gave the album 14 stars, making it the lowest showing of the band's career.
Despite these events, the band has continued its drinking shenanigans, much to the delight of their fans. When former Bassist Colin O'Patrick fell off a ship and was eaten by sharks, he was replaced by Sean O'Shaughnessy who durnkenly fell off the empire state building, and was replaced by Kevin O'Flaherty who fell of a giant dinosaur somewhere in the California desert. Current bassist Barney O'Maloney has fallen of the stage 130 times over his 76 shows with the band.
On what has contributed the band's longevity, O'Seamus told me, " Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming
down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road
met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo…" and that's when he threw up on me.
