A do-it-all binding for do-it-all riders.
Burton built the Malavita EST Snowboard Binding for freestyle shredders who are looking for a mid-stiff binding that will dominate not only in the park, but all over the lift-served world. Burton has dropped a ton of technology into the Malavaita for the perfect mix of comfort, light weight, and response to allow you and your board to become one (or maybe one-and-a-half).
- Short-glass and nylon composite Spar and short-glass and nylon composite baseplate for durable lightweight response
- Canted Living Hinge Zero-Lean highback with Heel Hammock for shock absorption
- EST allows the rider to micro-adjust his or her stance over a greater length and an infinite range
- Dual-component Smooth Glide polished, chrome-plated aluminum Buckles with polycarbonate levers for light weight and reliability
- The Hinge allows the binding to roll with your foot for reduced fatigue and easier, more natural ollies
- Re-ground materials in baseplate and highback reduce weight
- Asym React strap with reversible strap allows you to choose between power or mobility for natural feel, greater comfort, and lightning-quick response
- Gettagrip CapStrap with 3D curved Triple Axis Spine and toe- or cap-strap option
- Adjustable gas pedals allow you to dial in your toe-edge response while reducing toe drag
- Rotatable highbacks allow you to dial in heel-edge response and enhance tweak-ability
- Telescoping straps let you get your fit exactly right for greater comfort and response
- Winged highbacks give you greater leverage for spinning, pressing, and buttering
- Living Hinge highbacks eliminate hardware and let you adjust forward lean and rotation independently
- Zero forward lean option for riders who prefer a playful relaxed feel. Highbacks can still be leaned forward
- Single component carbon fiber highbacks for greater simplicity. Burton adjusts flex in different areas of the highback by manipulating materials
- Progressive flex construction targets flex specifically for optimum response without grabbing
- True OTT highback padding eliminates pressure points

i have bord of burton UNINC 154
and i need binding
is it thos "Burton Malavita EST Snowboard Binding" fitting to my bord?
or i need another binding?
Ive seen some guys in my local terrain...
Member since
Ive seen some guys in my local terrain park with these. the hill has mostly jib features but these are for mountain terrain. Are they good for park and jib to ??

Hey Max,
These bindings are extremely versatile and get the job done no matter what you're doing. However, if you were looking for a binding for the sole purpose of getting your jib on, there are better options out there for you. The K2 Hurrithane, Gnu Street, Union Jib Series, just to name a few.

I currently own the restricted ones with the wing on my burton superhero and they have just been great. I also ride union forces on my skate banana and these by far are better bindings even though I love my forces.

The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board is due this week, probably Thursday, on its investigation of the Boeing 787 JAL battery fire.
A lot of information has already been made public by the NTSB in two press conferences. We suspect the root cause of the fire may not be revealed. Recall that the NTSB said evidence had been destroyed in the fire.
We asked Greg Feith, a former lead investigator for the NTSB, what he expects. His response:
"The NTSB will probably issue some Safety recommendations that will put a higher level of scrutiny on the FAA and the certification process, thus the FAA won't take any chances in prematurely returning the aircraft to service. I think you will see that the FAA will extend their review of Boeing's proposed fixes and 'study' their proposal rather than act on it – and I am willing to bet that it will be June before the 787 is airborne [in revenue service] again."
Feith's forecast of the re-entry into service is more optimistic than our readers, a plurality of whom see from August as the earliest EIS. Nearly 47% of the readers say they would wait a year or two before flying the 787 after the fix, but about the same number say they will fly the airplane right away, confident in the fix. (Results are as of 6:30am PST March 5 and may change after this writing as more readers vote.) The poll isn't scientific but it is a snapshot of the challenges facing Boeing and the operators in restoring confidence in the 787 after re-EIS.
The NTSB preliminary report's anticipated findings and potential recommendations don't carry the force of law. The recommendations are just that, and the FAA may accept, reject or accept with modification any, some, all or none of the recommendations.
But given the likelihood that the NTSB findings will also comment on the certification process of the FAA-Boeing procedures (remember that the NTSB said it was looking at this), and that the FAA itself said it would examine its own role and the certification of the battery; and the entire production and design of the 787, we don't see the FAA leaping in haste to approve the Boeing proposal for the battery fix. We see the FAA moving forward with deliberate speed (a nebulous term to be sure).
- Meggitt, which makes the battery charger through a subsidiary, says regulators cleared its system of any cause to the battery incidents.

What Is It?
Kidney stones, also referred to as "nephrolithiasis", are quite common among men, women, and to a lesser extent, children.
Kidney stones are more common in the Southern United States due to warmer climates and the propensity for dehydration.
Substances in urine, such as calcium, oxalate, cystine or uric acid, form "crystals" in the kidney which can ultimately grow in size to form a kidney stone.
Stones can also develop in the bladder (bladder stones) and are usually seen in men who have difficultly urinating due to an enlarged prostate obstructing the flow of urine.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
When a kidney stone forms, it may travel from the kidney down the "ureter", the tiny tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. When this happens, excruciating flank or back pain ensues. The pain varies in severity from individual to individual; however, most rate the pain as a 10/10 – the worst possible pain.
Pain may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, hematuria (blood in the urine), as well as fever.
Evaluation and Treatment
Individuals who are suspected of having kidney stones undergo a urinalysis and urine culture. These lab tests often demonstrate "microscopic hematuria" (blood in the urine that is seen with a microscope).
The decision to treat an individual conservatively or with surgery to remove the stone is based on the size of the stone and its location within the urinary system. In general, stones less than 5 millimeters in size have a 50% chance of passing out of the body with conservative therapy alone.
When an individual has a fever, and a stone is obstructing the urinary system, surgery is advised to allow elimination of the obstruction that allows the individual to improve clinically. The stone is then removed several days later after the individual is clinically stable.
It is important to undergo a thorough metabolic evaluation following the diagnosis of kidney stones. Dietary modification, including increase in fluid intake to prevent dehydration, is important in the management and prevention of kidney stones.
A 24-hour urine test may be performed that allows the physician to better understand a specific individual's risk of stone formation, and aid in future therapy to prevent kidney stones.

TEAMS: New York Giants, New Orleans Saints
The New York Giants know better than to underestimate a Steve Spagnuolo defense, even one that currently ranks at the bottom of the NFL. When the Saints' defensive coordinator was in New York, the Giants not only won a Super Bowl, but they saw how Spagnuolo could adapt when things went wrong and improve his unit over time. Giants guard Kevin Boothe says the thing he remembers about Spagnuolo is how well he adjusts. So even though the Saints rank 32nd in yards allowed and 28th in points allowed, Boothe says the Giants expect to see a defense playing well above such rankings when they host the Saints on Sunday. New Orleans' recent performances back Boothe up. The Saints held NFC-leader Atlanta its second-lowest yardage total last week.

A reward from the Governor's office is still out there for a cold case murder that's getting a second look from investigators in Jackson County.
Someone shot and killed Jerry Wayne Gibson back in 2005.
Investigators are taking a second hard look at Gibson's case and with the reward money and a little help from the community, they hope to close the case.
It was July 28, 2005 when the body of Jerry Wayne Gibson, also known as "Fat Cat," was found.
The area just off County Road 19 in Section was deemed a crime scene where his body was found in a wooded area.
At the time, Sheriff Chuck Phillips said extensive interviews were done, but they were unable to make an arrest in the case. Now, they're taking a second look at the case.
Phillips believes someone out there knows something to help bring closure for the victim's family.
Phillips also said money can help aid in a case like this one.
"What we're wanting to do today is to bring it back into the public's eye that it still is an open case and there is a $10,000 reward from the Governor's office for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone in this case," he said.
If anyone has any information about the murder of Gibson, contact the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.

There's a new Facebook contest to help a worthy cause called "Love at First Lick." The contest was launched this week by Havahart Wireless, a market leader in wireless electronic devices for dog containment.
The goal is for Havahart Wireless to donate $1,000 to Canine Companions for Independence after reaching 25,000 fans on the Havahart Wireless Facebook page.
"This contest offers a fun way to give back and raise awareness for a great cause that is passionate about dogs and helping people with disabilities gain independence," said Andrea Long, category development director for Havahart Wireless. "We look forward to educating visitors about this great organization and will continually update our progress toward reaching our goal during the duration of the contest. New Facebook fans will become part of our engaging community of nearly 23,000 people."
Canine Companions for Independence is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships.
Havahart Wireless chose to raise funds for this non-profit organization because of its passion for dogs and commitment to dog training while enabling people with disabilities to lead independent lives.
Havahart Wireless offers pet owners a wireless dog fence technology with expandable fencing that custom shapes to any yard. They also offer an underground, wired fencing option and an array of electronic pet devices and training tools that make home living safer for both pet owners and their dogs.

The following report was about the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in Washington Hts for which pictures, and a short report of going to East Harlem two days later, are available HERE.
Volunteers are needed to translate this and other reports, both so that Spanish speakers can follow the BAsics Bus Tour on Tumblr and so that English speakers can hear the voices, such as this one, who are taking out BA Everywhere including on the BAsics Bus Tour. If you are interested write to baeverywhere [AT] gmail.com
Una tarde en Washington Heights, con BA en todas partes!
En apoyo a la campaña que esta en curso para llevar la voz y obra de Bob Avakian, La cual a dado una gran iniciativa con la Gira del Autobús de Lo BAsico/Basics, que le esta dando la vuelta a todo el país y llevando la revolución en todos los rincones donde literalmente han abandonado a las masas de gente a su suerte. Pero que después de esta gira, recorriendo los pueblos, barrios y otras otros lugares más remotos del país, conociendo el libro Lo BAsico y adentrándose a toda una visión de un mundo radicalmente diferente, en lugares como California, Atlanta y Florida, donde lincharon a Trayvon Martin.
June 2nd Celebration at Marcus Garvey Park, Harlem, NYC:
picnic and report back from the BAsics Bus Tour
On Sat. Jun 2 we had a picnic at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem to celebrate and welcome back the volunteers who had participated in the recent leg of the BAsics Bus Tour that went into the deep South.
A group of young girls ranging in age from 5-12 years old were the first to arrive. A week before the picnic one of the girls had run into revolutionaries and signed the BAsics 1:13 "No more generations of our youth…" quote banner — writing "Fair is fair" as her contribution. She had been thinking about the picnic all week and invited her friends. The girls read the quote palm card aloud in unison. The 5-year-old wanted to add "No Racism" to the banner and since she had not yet learned how to write an older girl wrote it for her.

Our team of three included one person selling Revolution newspaper. One person carried a large sign with BAsics 1:13 (the focal point of the Tour reproduced below) and the Bus Tour logo, in Spanish for people to write their statements. The third person passed out the cards with the quote and a flier about the upcoming fundraising picnic and the Bus Tour organizing committee meeting.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
But now I pass
graveyards in a car.
The dead lie,
with their feet toward me--
please forgive me for
saying the tombstones would not
fancy their faces turned from the highway.
Oh perish the thought
I was thinking in that moment
Newman Illinois
the Saturday night dance--
what a life? Would I like it again?
No. Once I returned late summer
from California thin from journeying
and the girls were not the same.
You'll say that's natural
they had been dancing all the time.

First Cooperative Safety Congress[edit]
In 1912 the first Cooperative Safety Congress was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event was sponsored by the Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engineers. The approximately 200 attendees, representing industry and government, resolved to "organize and create a permanent body devoted to the promotion of the safety to human life in the industries of the United States.[1]
Formation of National Safety Council[edit]
At the Second Safety Congress in 1913, the National Council for Industrial Safety was established. It was headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and Robert W. Campbell served as first president and William H. Cameron served as secretary.[2] The name was changed to National Safety Council in 1914 to reflect the organization's expanded scope to include traffic and home safety. As membership increased, the NSC began producing posters, technical fact sheets, and other publications.[3] In 1953, the U.S. Congress and President Dwight D. Eisenhower recognized the importance of the NSC's efforts with a Congressional charter to: "…arouse and maintain the interest of the people of the United States… in safety and in accident prevention, and to encourage the adoption and institution of safety methods by all persons, corporations, and other organizations."[4]
Focus areas[edit]
Traffic safety[edit]
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of unintentional injury deaths. NSC has teamed with public and private partners to lead the effort to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the road.
Defensive driving[edit]
The National Safety Council has offered defensive driving courses since 1964 was the first approved course in New Jersey and New York.[5]
Fleet safety[edit]
The NSC and its partners have hosted various symposia to bring international attention to the number of fleet driver fatalities that occur and to develop strategies for protecting workers while on the road.
Teen driving[edit]
NSC has a strategy to reduce teen driving motor vehicle fatalities by 30 percent over the next four years. Through education about Graduated Driver Licensing, an education process proven to reduce teen driving fatalities by 20 to 40 percent by gradually exposing teen drivers to higher crash risk situations. GDL puts restrictions on high crash risk factors such as passengers and nighttime driving.
Workplace safety[edit]
NSC is aligned with government agencies, such as OSHA and the Department of Labour, to further strengthen workplace safety and help reduce the number of unintentional injuries and fatalities.
NSC offers training courses for occupational safety and health, driver improvement and emergency care.
NSC brought together multi-national corporate leaders and federal safety experts to establish the nation's first Off-the-Job Safety Symposium to help bring about a reduction of injury-related fatalities that occur off-the-job.
Home and community safety[edit]
Emergency preparedness/first aid[edit]
The NSC is a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Citizen Corps, a network of organizations and individuals dedicated to raising awareness about the need for preparedness. Since the NSC's Emergency Care Services program began in 1991, more than 8 million rescuers have been trained in the program.
Elder falls[edit]
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults. The NSC is part of the Falls Free Coalition, which hopes to advance the national action plan among key national stakeholders and build community awareness and support for fall prevention activities among older adults.
Safe Communities America[edit]
As part of the World Health Organization's Safe Communities program, NSC is a designated Affiliate Safe Communities Support Center and Safe Communities Certifying Center for the United States. Communities apply for the Safe Communities designation by indicating their long-term commitment to the promotion of safety.
Board of Directors and Board of Delegates[edit]
NSC is governed by a Board of Directors and a Board of Delegates. The Board of Directors [1] manages fiduciary and strategic affairs. The Board of Delegates develops the mission agenda, creates public policies, and tracks safety, health and environmental trends. More than 2,000 volunteers, drawn from NSC industry volunteer divisions, assist the boards in determining policies, operating procedures and programs to be developed and implemented by the Council's professional staff.
The National Safety Council's network of 40 local Chapters [2] conducts safety, health and environmental efforts at the community level, providing training, conferences, workshops, consultation, newsletters, updates and safety support materials, as well as networking avenues. Located in cities and towns across the United States, the Chapters provide a voice for advocating local safety issues.
Networking and events[edit]
Divisions or Special Interest Groups[edit]
Members of NSC are segmented into Divisions, also known as special interest groups.[3] Division members plan and create programs for the annual NSC Congress & Expo, and participate in discussions of research findings, new concepts, trends, and solutions for safety challenges. Divisions meet twice a year and have ongoing communications. The divisions are Business & Industry, Construction, Highway Traffic Safety, Labor, Motor Transportation, and Utilities. Some divisions are further segmented into sections.
NSC Congress and Expo[edit]
Held each fall, the NSC Congress & Expo [4] attracts between 15,000-18,000 safety and health professionals, plus industry suppliers from around the world. The event showcases the latest safety and health products and services, and provides an opportunity for members to exchange ideas and learn about new safety technologies and training methods. Members attending the annual Congress can also earn continuing education credits by participating in technical sessions and professional development seminars.
National Safety Month[edit]
In 1996 NSC established June as National Safety Month [5] to increase awareness of the leading safety and health risks and ultimately decrease the number of unintentional injuries and deaths. Each week focuses on a specific safety venue: workplace, traffic, home, and community.[6]

We all struggle with too many things to do in 24 hours. If that struggle causes feelings of guilt or sadness, it's time to say no. Women struggle with saying no more than men, and usually feel lingering guilt when they do. When women are asked to do something they don't want to do or will have difficulty doing, you may hear a no eventually, but more likely you will hear a long list of excuses softening their no. This is seldom true with men. They have a much more effective no, and no means no. It rarely means I would like to, but maybe if you talk me into it, maybe if you continue until I feel guiltier, or that it won't be too difficult.
The main reason people struggle with an inability to say no is a co-dependence, meaning they are experts at giving to others and trying to make things better, and asking little in return. Another common reason is an inner sense of not being good enough; they know what they want, but cannot express themselves. Realizing you have given up bits of you in your relationships to be accepted is the final reason, and that usually means you are resentful. Resentfulness causes you guilt, which continues the cycle of saying yes.
If you feel like a pushover instead of a kind, compassionate person, it's time to get balance back into your life.
The first step is to realize when you say yes when you really want to say no, you aren't being honest or considerate. You are worrying about how the other person will perceive you. Take back you and advocate for what is best for your health.
PAUSE. Don't answer them immediately. Giving yourself time to actually consider whether you can do the tasks they're requesting will help you decide how to answer them, as well as yourself, with honesty.
Before you answer their request, ask yourself these questions:
• Am I agreeing because I feel pressured or because I want to help with this?
• What am I giving up in order to complete this task?
• Will I be resentful or angry with them or myself if I do this?
Suggestions for you to begin saying YES to you without regret for saying NO to others:
1. Stop neglecting your needs. This includes exercising, taking time to fix healthy meals and me time.
2. Begin slowly. If you accomplish saying no to someone once a week and take that time to nap, read, or socialize with friends, that is a huge accomplishment.
3. Stop trying to be nice by saying yes, and instead add moments of kindness whenever you can. Random acts of kindness when you can are just as nice as saying yes to everyone and growing resentful because you have no time for you.
4. Include the whole family and let go. When family members are honest with one another and tell each other directly when they are overwhelmed or frazzled, you encourage them to work together so no one person is left feeling as though they have to take care of everyone else.
We all have to do things we don't want to do. However, when you are constantly doing for others and neglecting your own needs, it leads to poor mental and physical health. Part of self-care is the ability to care and nurture you.

As a student of BA and a member of the International Baccalaureate Magnet Program, I would have to say that Boyd H. Anderson is not a bad school. The programs are good, and the ideas are there but we don't have the support from the community or the government to make BA a greater school. People aren't giving us a chance, because the know we can be the best with a little chance. I am a senior and I have been there all four years, I am proud of where my school is from where it has came from, I love BA and we are improving, our football team is divisional champions, and we are going for state. BA is a good school, just gives us a chance.
I went to Boyd Anderson school my 9th grade year and I think it is a wonderful school that tries to help its students as much as possible. It has a bad academic reputation, but the teachers are trying to improve it with very little help from the children. I think it's a great school. Thank you for your time.
In my four years at BA we went through 3 principals. The principals we did have seemed to be minimally involved and none of them made a dramatic difference. The Ib program seems to be the only thing keeping that school together and little by little it too is deteriorating. While there were activities and clubs for students to get involved with, actual involvement was hard to come by. Parent involvement also seemed to be at a minimum, at least outside of IB.
The Boyd Anderson International Baccalaureate magnet program is a wonderful opportunity for a child to get an exceptional education. The program is very intensive, but the rewards are great. The classes are challenging and interesting because the subjects are explored at a much deeper level than in a traditional or Advanced Placement environment. Students learn to analyze a given subject, rather than simply memorize answers to questions. IB graduates are heavily recruited by Universities. The principal does not appear to support the program as much as previous administrations. Hopefully, the program will survive his passive aggressive attempts to dissolve it.
Boyd H. Anderson (BA) is a school that has a great respect for diversity. The students and faculty bond together to provide quality education for all! In spite of certain ethnic barriers, students embrace learning and try hard to accomplish all that is placed before them.
this is a horrible school. my son was an a-b student until he got here. his grades dropped drastically. he was placed on indoor suspension and they never even bothered to notify me of it.i'm so glad this is his last year there. i would not recommend this school to anyone.
From what I read in the previous review, I am sorry to see that this student (or I fear Parent) spent too little time in English class. To open ones mouth is to remove all doubt... This school is doing the best it can with many difficult students. Most could be corrected with the proper homelife and guidence. The school cannot do it all. I do believe the Principal is not doing enough to oversee the teachers.
This is the worst school that you would want you child to go to. The teachers dont teach crap, there are fights everyday, no discipline whatsoever, and can careless what we or the students feel. Again, I don't recommend anyone letting their child go to school there!!

From Soap Cartel:
Our rustic soaps are made using the old-fashioned cold-process method and cure for a minimum of 4 weeks. Every one of our handmade soap bars is created using oils of olive, coconut, palm, castor, & avocado along with skin-nourishing mango and organic African Shea butter.
All of our products are made in small batches using 100% natural, sustainable and many organic ingredients. Every one of our items is hand crafted and unique. We take pride in our products knowing that we have utilized high-quality ingredients such as essential oils, clays, butters and herbs. We do not use any synthetic ingredients in our products.
I absolutely love this soap! Perfect for a relaxing late night bath or shower before bed. Moisturizing without leaving that weird film some soaps leave. Plus, it looks lovely.
Probably my favorite soap because I'm such a rose hoarder. This is a beautiful blend of rose & bergamot with a tinge of mint that makes it refreshing. This isn't quite as moisturizing (although leaves my skin very comfortable) as the Lavender Muse soap but it does feel like it is cleaning my pores. I love the lingering scent!
Let's take a moment to marvel at the awesome-ness of the image of this soap. It looks so, well, badass. I love the smell of Eucalyptus & tea tree oil so I was loving this one. It just smells so clean & healthy to me. It also helps with my headaches & to clean my sinuses so to have it in a soap form is lovely & appreciated. The charcoal in this definitely pulls out impurities. I'm a big fan of this soap.

LEC Researchers Take Part in China Talks
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University researchers were in Beijing this month taking part in round table discussions on Science, Innovation and Business Growth with Dr Vince Cable, UK's Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.
Chancellor George Osborne and Business Secretary Vince Cable are in China as part of a high-profile UK government and trade mission designed to improve business links with China. David Cameron is also visiting China this week for the first time as prime minister
In the round table talks, Vince Cable heard from a small group of UK and Chinese scientists, researchers and businesses including representatives from Lancaster who are working with Chinese partners on a long-term project to address the global challenges of environmental pollution and food security.
The project is part of a £1.33m Research Council UK Science Bridge award bringing together Lancaster University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Agricultural University to address the global challenges of environmental pollution and food security.
As part of this project, these long-standing partnerships are being harnessed to drive economic recovery and growth in the UK and China. The collaboration is yielding new technologies to reduce environmental pollution, improve health, increase food production and secure scarce water supplies and UK and Chinese businesses, large and small, now form part of the project team developing these solutions.
Dr Mark Bacon from Lancaster University's Environment Centre who attended the round-table discussion said: "Our China Bridge project is enabling us to use the global reach of Lancaster University and that of our Chinese partners for the benefit of UK and Chinese business."
"The global market for solutions to some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges is vast. The business response to these challenges, in terms of the development of new products and services, can both underpin more sustainable economic growth and play a large part in delivering the urgent need for solutions."

'Neighbourhood Effects' and 'City Effects': Immigrants' Transition to Employment in Swedish Large City-Regions
AbstractAn important debate in current research and policy focuses on the role of spatial characteristics and urban residential segregation on the social mobility of immigrants. Much focus has been on 'neighbourhood effects', and on how internal spatial variations within the city affects the life careers of immigrants. We add the analysis of variations of labour market incorporation between cities to this discussion, thus following the recent interest of migration scholars on the role of the individual city on immigrants' labour market performance in the host country. Accordingly, in this study, we analyse the labour market careers of one migrant cohort to Sweden from an urban perspective, where the analysis of 'neighbourhood effects' and 'city effects' are studied jointly. We use a longitudinal data base derived from Swedish population registers and discrete-time event history analysis with the aim to study immigrant transition to employment in a ten-year period after arrival, and to investigate the correlation between occupational and residential careers. The results show that the migrants' labour market participation increases slowly over time, and there are large variations between immigrant groups. Migrant origin, gender and education are crucial factors in getting the first job. Both 'neighbourhood effects' and 'city effects' were significant, but the former decreased over time. Accordingly, there was no sign of a 'downward spiral' from residing in distressed neighbourhoods. Instead there was a robust 'city effect', which we interpret as being influenced by the role of the individual city in the global economy and the city's local labour market structure.

The Passing Of The Great Race
No discussion of the dreamlike years of overt American scientific racism and schooling would be complete without a nod to the ghost of Madison Grant, who has mysteriously vanished from the pages of some standard biographical references, though they still carry his cousins, Grant the portrait painter and Grant the educator. No matter, I shall tell you about him. If you have ever been to the Bronx Zoo6 you have been a guest of Mr. Grants beneficent imagination, for he was its founder and the founder of its parent, the New York Zoological Society. The Bronx Zoo, its fame and good works inspire worldwide gratitude. Grants legacy to us, as free libraries were Carnegies.
Grant was a lifelong bachelor, a childless man. Like many people associated with public schooling on a policy level, Grant came from a patrician family which had graced society from colonial days. No Grant ever held a menial job. Madison Grant was considered a leading scientific naturalist of his time. His monographs on the Rocky Mountain goat, the moose, and the caribou are little classics of their kind, still consulted. Men and women related to Grant have been directors of American society since the Age of the Mathers.
Grant was deeply disgusted by the mixing of European races underway here; he believed the foundation of our national and cultural life lay in racial purity and backed this opinion with action. It is hardly possible to believe some of this attitude didnt enter into the museums presentation of data and even into those hundreds of thousands of school field trips. In Grants competent hands, the boldness and sweep of old Anglo-Saxon tradition was fused into a systematic worldview, then broadcast through books and lectures to the entire planet. His magnum opus appeared in 1916 bearing the epic title The Passing of the Great Race, with an introduction by Museum of Natural History luminary Henry Fairfield Osborna man who wrote one of the texts I used myself as a junior high school student.
The Passing of the Great Race warns that the ruling race of the Western world is beginning to wane because of a "fatuous belief" that environment can alter heredity.7 The clear connection to the predestination canon of Calvin and to the great Norse tradition of implacable Fate is unmistakable. Grants own genealogy came from both these strains in European history. Whatever else he was, Grant was neither dull nor commonplace. Using Darwin and Mendelian genetics to support his argument, Grant said flatly that different races do not blend, that mixing "gives us a race reverting to the more ancient and lower type." A "cross between any of the three European races and a Jew is a Jew."
Grant argued that culture is racially determined. Alpines have always been peasants, Mediterraneans, artists and intellectuals; but "the white man par excellence" was the Nordic blonde conqueror of the North: explorers, fighters, rulers, aristocrats, organizers of the world. In early America the stock was purely Nordic, but now swarming hybrids threatened it with destruction except in a few zones of racial purity like Minnesota.
Madison Grant felt democracy as a political system violated scientific facts of heredity the same way Christianity did, by favoring the weak. This led inexorably to biological decadence. Even national consciousness might confuse ones rational first loyalty, which had to be race. This was the codex of the Bronx Zoos founder. Six years after its publication, The Passing of the Great Race was still in print and Grants New York Zoological Society more respectable than ever. Eventually Margaret Mead was beneficiary of considerable patronage from Grants Museum of Natural History, as indeed the whole shaky new community of anthropological thought became. Although Meads work appears to contradict Grants, by the time the academic world began to push the relativism of Mead, Ruth Benedict, and other interpreters of primitive culture, a double standard had settled in on intellectual life in the United States and Europe.
For those whose status was secured by birth, theories of inherited quality were available. For the great mass of others, however, the body of theory which paid off in foundation grants, the one driving modern political and economic development, was that corpus of studies exploring the notion of extreme plasticity in human nature, a pliability grading into shapelessness. If mankind were seen to be clay, radical social action justifying continuous intervention could surely bring utopia within reach, while providing expanding opportunities to academics. The academic marketplace eagerly supplied evidence that quality was innate to the powerful, and evidence that human nature was empty to the rest of us.
6As five hundred thousand school trips to date have been.
7Simplified, the belief that human nature could be changed, complicated enormously by a collateral belief
that there are a variety of such natures, correlated with race and other variables. As I warn elsewhere, these men used the concept "race" in a more intimate way than contemporary ears are used to. As Grant would have viewed things, "white" or "Caucasian" is subject to many subdivisions, each of which has a value rank. The "great race" in America is Aryan. One very influential tome of the 1920s, for instance, was Joseph Widneys two-volume Race Life of the Aryan People. Widney was a founder of the University of Southern California.

ahem indeed... you would be better off trying a model site though
Wayne, Web-Models.co.uk and Net-Model.com are two sites that I use. You might even give Facebook a try as I read an article yesterday about an amateur photographer who did just that creating a group to recruit for a three day shoot he planned. He had 36 volunteers!
Females up for a model shoot.
There are probably a few people in the Derby area who would oblige.
I would, but as I'm in my 60th year there probably isn't enough gizzmo in photoshop to help produce something pleasant, LOL!
Good luck!

STEVENS COUNTY, Wash. -- A man is dead after a head-on crash on Highway 395 north of the Stevens/Spokane County line.
Police say the driver, Robert Mitts, 29, was killed after crossing the center line and hitting another car.
Police say the two drivers in the second car, Michael Swan, 41, and Lukas Quillin, 31, were transported to Holy Family in Spokane with non-life threatening injuries.
Highway 395 was blocked for a short time while crews responded to the scene before one lane was opened to traffic. Police say the road was bare and wet at the time of the crash.

made this to go with the caribbean pork in the easy christmas eve supper --it was great. I reduced the onions a bit and used less butter and substituted vegetable broth as I was out of chicken. it's easy a yummy. A good substitute for potatoes with chicken, pot roast or meat loaf, too. Tastes great reheated.
