There are a lot of factors in the 49ers Colts game that make this a must see matchup. I know that it is still early in the season, so I am not saying this is going to be a must win game for either team. With that said there are many storylines in this game. Here is a breakdown of a few of them. 1. Running Backs Trent Richardson! The trade between the Colts and the Brown is more embarrassing for the Browns than it is surprising. It is like Cleveland is already waving the white flag and packing this season in. Browns fans are still in mourning. Colts fans are excited at have a number one running back to compliment quarterback Andrew Luck. Yet this trade is somewhat suspect. A scout from the league spoke about the trade to CBSSports.com saying, "Weird trade by Indy. A first for an adequate back with injury issues? They could get that player next year in the mid to late rounds. Get an adequate dude for a later pick. Everyone has depth at that position." Since the Colts lost Ballard for the season and needed more than just Ahmad Bradshaw in the backfield this trade does make sense for the Colts. They have their franchise quarterback in Luck and Richardson will be wanting to prove Cleveland wrong for trading him. Trent is fuming about this trade. He said the he found out from the radio that he was traded. "Yeah, I found out on the radio," Richardson said during an interview with 19 Action News in Cleveland. "Actually, one of my friends called me. He was like, 'You got traded?' I was like, 'Man, shut up talking to me. Get off my phone.' I turned on the radio, and all of a sudden I heard, 'Cleveland Browns running back has been traded to the Colts.' It just hit me in my face like I can't believe … I didn't see it coming. I had good relations with everybody. I guess it's the best for the Browns. At the end of the day, it's the best move for both of us, I guess. I want to be a Brown. I didn't see it coming, but at the same time, I'm a Colt now, so I got to move on get ready for Sunday's game." So that alone will fuel Trent's performance on the field to show that he is a number one back. On the flipside, 49ers running Frank Gore ran for only 16 yards against the Seattle Seahawks. He will also want to bounce back from the lack luster performance on the field. I know that he will be fine. It is tough to play in Seattle, but I don't think Gore is looking to make any excuses. 2. Colin Kaepernick Just like Frank Gore and the whole offense to be exact, Kap had a poor outing last Sunday night. He only threw for 127 yards. He threw a few interceptions, fumbled and got sacked. Colin looks to lead his team against a Colts defense that gave up 112 yards on the ground to Terrelle Pryor in Week 2. Kap would love to see that production from himself on the ground this Sunday. The Seahawks has always been the Achilles heel for Colin. Now he can forget about the Week 2 loss and look at playing a Colts team at home. 3. Pride Both teams have high hopes for making it deep into the playoffs this year. The 49ers almost won the Super Bowl. The Colts shocked a lot of naysayers by making it into the playoffs. Each team lost in Week 2. The Colts lost at home to the surprisingly good Miami Dolphins. The Colts game was a lot closer than the 49ers game last week, but that really doesn't matter to the Colts. A loss is a loss. The 49ers are going to take out their frustrating loss on the Colts and I feel that is going to be the tipping point in this matchup. Even though Trent's chip is pretty big, collectively the 49ers chip on their shoulders are gigantic. 4. Andrew Luck vs 49ers Defense I can't want to see the number one overall draft pick of 2012 go against one of the NFL's toughest defenses. On paper the 49ers D looks to dominate, but games are not played on paper. On the field Luck has a way of making things work. Last year he had 7 fourth quarter comebacks, which is a rookie record. The Colts will have a favorable matchup between Reggie Wayne and 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers. When Wayne plays out of the slot, Luck should be able to get the ball moving down the field. The Colts will need to get more out the entire team if they hope to beat the 49ers on their home turf. It will be a very intriguing matchup. I hope it lives up to the hype and we see a great game.

Online Courses:
Many of the exams are taken online, the Business English tests are taken all online. The classrooms are like offices with computers, tables (lol), swivel-y chairs, 10-Key Calculators. Many of the books are electronic and an iPad is provided (yours to keep when you're done, or even if you decide to leave). Instructors are easy-going and easy to talk with.
Overall Experience:
There are several courses you take such as Business English (all students) and Record Keeping (Office Assistants, Administrative Assistants and Medical Admin Assistants) for the Accounting students they have a different book (not sure what it's called but it's similar to Record Keeping but much more complex.) As for myself, I am going for Administrative Assistant. I am currently on my second (and last semester! Yes, only TWO SEMESTERS and you're done!) It's the start of the year so right now I am working on Microsoft Access, later in the semester I will start on Advanced Word and Excel, where we look deeper into the software than we did when we were going for Office Assistants. I will also be taking my last exam for the IC3 (Internet and Computer Core Certification) and towards the end of the semester I will take my exams for Microsoft Office Specialist. The instructors are very knowledgeable and they know what they are doing. They even stay after classes if you need any help. However, because the courses are fast-paced there are some students that fall behind and may go on Academic Probation and if you don't attempt to catch up on your work, you may get kicked out of the program. However, there is a library on-site across from the dorms that are open for about 6 hours a day, open 7 days a week as long as there is a student worker available. The class sizes vary do to the amount of students who apply and get accepted. (There is a $25 non-refundable fee) When I first started we were about 10 students, my second semester there are 12+ new students.
Overall Experience:
However, it's not a college degree, it is a certificate. Which means that you are certified for the position (Office Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, and Accounting Specialist) There is a 92% graduation rate, the 8% are usually kicked out of the program or kicked off campus (there are rules and if you don't follow them you may get a warning or kick out of the dorms/family housing). Last semester the returning students had internships and all of them learned valuable work ethics and skills in their occupational field.On campus, there are two different dorm facilities. The main dorms have thin walls :( which basically means that you can literally hear people on the other side of the wall. However, the second dorms on 4th Avenue are soundproof, and much more quieter than the main dorms. There's a cafeteria and the dorm resident are in the main dorms. The Student Service Center (SSC Building) is open to the students 24/7. On the first floor of the SSC Building include a Gymnasium, three work-out sites, ceramics room (basically a arts and crafts room). and on the second floor there is a library and couches. They are all free to use for the students (and their families). But like any facility there are rules you must follow. Go to their website avtec.edu for more information
Academic Experience:
I came to AVTEC to study Administrative Assistant to gain more skills and knowledge in that occupational field. I have learned many things I did not know about. For example, most of us know about how to use Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and such. But here, I've learned shortcuts and many different ways to use the programs and what they're used for. I'm currently learning how to use Microsoft Access which is something fun and complex at the same time. We do many things that are based on the what we choose. The first semester we went for Office Assistant, also known as fast-track. But while going for that first certificate, we also did some advanced work too. I've heard of some students who received a two-semester certificate in one semester. The workload isn't too bad, you learn how to use basic office software, and equipment such as 10-Key. The Business and Office Technology campus is not far from the dorms, it's a walking distance, about 2 and a half blocks. You also get to go on internships for a week or two to any company of your choice if they accept interns. The job opportunities are great too, because you learn up-to-date technology and software. You can even achieve College Credits at a cheaper price!
Overall Experience:
Coming to AVTEC was the best decision I have ever made. Although there are other programs to go to, such as various colleges around Alaska, and few Institutions as well. AVTEC is based more on what you will be doing in the workforce and focuses on what you will need to know as if you're actually performing your job duties. In any department here at AVTEC you will do many things hands-on with some work involved, such as math and reading. It may be fast-paced, it's not for everyone, but I have seen many excel just by coming here. There is another campus that is much like AVTEC that is free for students called Job Corp. and many say that it is much like AVTEC, but I've also been told that, although you may have to pay to come here (they accept scholarships and FAFSA) the things that we learn on campus are very much different in a similar way. I love this school and I would love to come back for more training.
Campus Resources:
The school has free internet but it very lend in data used and at times impedes on class work.
Academic Experience:
the school is in the middle of improving the program. work loads are onpar to the class labs and study
Academic Experience:
the grading system the schools uses is out dated and is hard to improve your grade. the labs for the class are the best in the state. they are in the middle of expanding the program.
Academic Flexibility:
The reson for picking this school was for the cost and the classes they teach are not fond at the university in my state. The universites of alaska have classes of my fields but do not go in to depth of study of heavy equipment. The classes offered to me were just on diesel engines at double the cost. AVTec offered both heavy equipment and diesel engines in more depth at less cost to me. The classes that are offered at AVTec are cerdited to universite of alaska anchorage to associates degree of applied science, diesel machines

text: My son will be in Wilmington on Christmas/Boxing Days, he is in the merchant navy and his ship will be docked. On his last trip he visited The Christiana Shopping Mall which, on the map, looks to me to be quite a bit from the river. He has asked me find out about Catholic Mass on Christmas Day. He is not the best of attenders when he is at home but I think he has a notion to attend Mass on Christmas Day as he is away from home. I have taken a look at a map of the diocese and there appears to be a number of churches in the city. His first language is English and so a service in English would be preferred, I think that St Mary's is possibly the closest church to the river but Mass there appears to be bi-lingual (possibly English and Spanish). All suggestions welcomed.

BANGKOK (April 28, 2013)--At least four people were killed when a small bridge collapsed near Thailand's ancient capital of Ayutthaya, police said.
Police Col. Jitkasem Sonkham says several motorcycle riders and their bikes fell into the Pasak river Sunday while they were crossing the suspension bridge in Ayutthaya province's Tha Ruea district.
Authorities found four bodies under the rubble.
Twelve other people were injured.
Jitkasem says the cement bridge was built a few years ago for pedestrians and small vehicles to cross but has not been well maintained.
He said investigators believe that the bridge was not over capacity at the time the accident happened, but that it was in poor condition.

I absolutely hate putting drops into my ears, but the results have been well worth it. Been using this med only a day and I am feeling a difference in the severe psoriasis I have had in my ear canal for years. Wish I had done this sooner. My ears were so inflamed they would ooze and bleed I was in such discomfort. It was very expensive, but worth every penny.

Food police are on the march
When does a movement that once seemed reasonable begin to slip its moorings?
When first lady Michelle Obama began her anti-obesity campaign, I thought, Yeah, seems like a good idea. Get the kids outside and by all means, limit their intake of sugar water, er, soda. But worrisome signs were there from the beginning, evident in the campaign against cigarettes.

" Well they have to pay for out of control spending somewhere so by picking on the obese they can sin tax lots of people, including the rich who can afford it. Also when people paid for their own insurance it was personal and about freedom. Now it is about reducing costs because now obese people cost taxpayers money. All about ending freedom. They really do not care if we are more productive because most of the work is exported to China or workers are imported from Mexico with no benefits. What a laugh that silly thing called liberty...Not to mention if your child is obese the people who fill both parties coffers will have a hard time fitting your sons in tanks and planes to fight the mother land of Israel that keeps your congressmen well fed on PAC pork.

Lefaucheux 7mm Double Action PinfireAugust 16, 2015
This is a double-action-only 7mm pinfire revolver made by Eugene Lefaucheux in Paris, France. It follows his patent from 07 June 1858.
On the barrel is inscribed:
DUMOULIN ARQer À ROUEN
Dumoulin was a gun maker (arquebusier; ARQer) and gun retailer in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Upper Normandy, France. He must have procured a custom order from Lefaucheux of these guns to sell at his establishment.
All of the parts have part number "15 J" punched into them.
Based on the serial number and the frame design this would have been manufactured around August/September of 1861.No Comments »
.58 SchubarthJuly 10, 2015
I have finally acquired a .58 Schubarth! It is one of the more desirable American cartridges and seems to trade for insane prices. There are only around a dozen known to exist. It was patented and made in 1861 by Casper D. Schubarth who resided at 6 North Main street Providence, RI.
This particular example was once owned by Colonel Berkeley R. Lewis of the United States Army Ordnance Corps. He acquired it from the Smithsonian Institution.
The whole idea of the cartridge and rifle is based on a modification and improvement of Gallager & Gladding's cartridge and rifle that was created a couple years prior. I have new pictures of the Gallager & Gladding cartridge that I will feature in my Journal column (which is currently detailing the relationship of pinfire cartridges and the United States) sometime in the next few months. Schubarth's improvement was essentially to make it waterproof.
It is an inside-primed pinfire. I believe his intentions were to make it easily reloadable with Minié balls and was offered to the government which did not decided to purchase it.
The dimensions of it are as follows:
Bullet Diameter: 0.61 inches
Bullet Weight: 551 grains
Powder Charge: 70 grains
Total Weight: 764 grains
Case Length: 1.13 inches
Total Length: 2 inches
While I do not have ballistic info on it, in 1861 Mr. Schubarth said that "It will be seen that the powder is fired in the middle of the charge thus causing a rapid combustion [and] that this causes so great force be generated that 60 grains of powder has driven bullet through 15 one inch boards at a distance one hundred yards "
Also, here is the patent, and an image of it beside a .223 for scale.2 Comments »
Collath Horizontal Pinfire Shotshells
Wilhelm Collath invented a shotshell variation that had a small pin that rested in a percussion cap half an inch into the case. The wider centerfire hammer would hit the pin which knocked it into the cap to set it off. The reasoning was to make the ignition travel backwards first so that it would have a little more time to burn the powder before building up the pressure to propel the shot. This allowed for less burning powder to travel down the barrel.
He also came up with his own size numbering system. They roughly equate like this:
0 -> 10g
1 -> 12g
3 -> 14g
4 -> 16g
5 -> 18g
6 -> 20g
7 -> 24g
8 -> 28g
As shown in the picture, they were also, but not commonly, made in a couple of the regular English gauges.
Nazi Pinfire cartridges during WWIIJuly 8, 2015
In March of 1938, the "Anschluss" took control of the company, Hirtenberger Patronen Zunhutchen & Metallwarenfabrik A.-G. of Hirtenberg, Austria and incorporated it into the Wilhelm Gustloff Foundation, which was a group owned by the Nazi Party.
On April 29, 1939 The company was officially renamed (from Hirtenberger) to Gustloffwerke Hirtenberger.
During this timeframe they typically used the letter "G" as a manufacturer's mark on the headstamps, but also continued using the "H" for cartridges only produced in small numbers rather than replacing the bunters.
By April 3, 1945 the plant was mostly devastated from the war and fell into the hands of the Soviets and was quickly put under control of the USIA (Administration of Soviet Property in Austria) and the company again renamed to Hirtenberger Patronen Zunhutchen & Metallwarenfabrik and eventually started production of cartridges again in 1946.
So from 1939 to 1944 The Nazi's made pinfire cartridges in Austria.No Comments »
Explosive Pinfire CartridgesJuly 3, 2015
Here are some pinfire cartridges with explosive bullets. The two on the right are definitively made using Eugene Pertuiset's patented formula by SFM. The rest are also thought to be.
In the late 1860s a Frenchman names Eugene Pertuiset developed an special fulminate that would be inserted into a tube inside these bullets. When the bullet hit its target the heat produced from the kinetic energy coming to a stop would ignite the explosive powder.
The Times of London, at the time reported on a demonstration at a horse slaughterhouse of these being tested and demonstrated on a beast that had "been condemned as irreclaimably vicious". Long story short; when the horse was shot it pretty much blew out nearly all of its head and liquified its brain.
The witnesses were pretty impressed that this kind of damage could be done by something a man could carry in his pocket.
Russia actually adopted its use for a short time until the Saint Petersburg Declaration of 1868 — which succeeded the First Geneva Convention — renounced the use, in time of war, of small explosive projectiles in Russia and Europe. The United States declined to hamper themselves by any such agreement.
According to the publication, Album-Galand, Galand's shop sold Purtuiset bullets in boxes of 25 for 32 francs for 4g and 8g, 22 francs for 10g and 22 francs for smaller sizes.
This publication also states that Galand made his own explosive bullets as well.
On August 17, 1886 Gregorio Saturnino Ortiz attempted to assassinate Máximo Santos, the president of Uruguay with one. You can click the thumbnail to see the full article. but the rough translation is as follows:
Pertuiset, the bullet that precipitated the fall of Máximo Santos
A famous photograph [detail] Maximum Santos after the attack.
Triumphant Revolution MILITARY ON Quebracho, Maximo Santos, despite its openness attempt with the Ministry of Reconciliation, began his political demise.
An attack that was subjected by Gregorio Saturnino Ortiz August 17, 1886 contributed to his departure from government and the country.
Ortiz shot him at point blank range with a revolver Lefaucheux system 12 mm Pertuisset loaded with explosive bullets.
They contain in their inner mercury fulminate, highly sensitive to percussion. A small spike acts by inertia when the bullet hit against the selected target, causing detonation fulminate and lead the projectile is opened. Projection of fragments forward causes tearing wounds, increasing the risk of infection.
The bullet entered his right cheek Santos and exploded in your mouth. The he wounded lost two teeth and suffered lacerations on his left cheek caused by fragments of explosive bullet out.
Ortiz – perhaps thinking he had killed Santos – fled down the street [for Ituzaingó] chased by police. As a last resort Ortiz fired a shot – the second day – without success to his pursuers.
He caught looking almost applied the revolver to his right temple and fired the third shot of the day. This time the result was final.
And a picture of Gregorio Saturnino Ortiz after he committed suicide with the explosive Pertuiset pinfire cartridge.No Comments »

KINGSTON — Ulster County Executive Mike Hein has negotiated a one-year, $201,600 extension to a lease for the Ulster County Family Court building at 16 Lucas Ave.
The new lease proposed by Hein would pay out $67,200 for the rest of this year and $134,400 next year, not including real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance.
The lease would end on Aug. 31, 2015, with an option to extend it for one year.
The rent was knocked down about 10 percent from the previous agreement.
The building, leased by the county since 1987, is owned by GD Realty Kingston LLC, part of Heritage Oil Delivery Service.
The renewal comes as the county contemplates the future of how to house family court services.
County officials and the state Office of Court Administration have expressed concerns over space at the building, which already houses two family court judges, a support magistrate, staff, records and the public defender's office.
Hein has said temporary adjustments can be made in the building to house a third judge.
A third judge will be seated by Jan. 1, 2015, with the lease on the building running out on Aug. 31. Hein has said it would take at least 24-36 months to determine a more permanent solution.
The contract resolution was approved by the Ulster County Legislature's laws and rules committee Monday night and now goes to the full Legislature for approval.

I already know that, when I put the definition of a member function into a header and mark the function as
inline, the code in the function gets inlined into any place where the function is called out of a .cpp file, so when it comes to a compiled binary, I know where the function's code is located -- within the compiled code of any .cpp file that depends on it. But what happens if I don't mark a function in a header with
inline and the function's body is large enough to make the compiler choose not to inline it? In the context of a static/dynamic library the function's class belongs to, where does the function's code is compiled to? Or is it not compiled at all and the final destination for the function's code is a compiled .cpp of a client of the library? If it's the latter case, does the function's code still gets inlined even if I didn't mark it with
inline (because its code was too "heavy")? And finally, is MSVC compiler's behavior in this case differs from the GCC's one?
And sure, I realize that putting member functions I want to be inlined into .h file (or .inl file) and "heavy" function into .cpp file would make things crystal clear, but I would really like to avoid breaking a class' implementation across files, hence is the interest.

An attorney for Robert Rizzo says the city of Bell owes the disgraced city manager severance and other benefits.
James Spertus told the Los Angeles Times Thursday that Bell agreed to pay Rizzo back pay and a severance package when he resigned in July.
Rizzo and seven other city officials have been charged with corruption.
Spertus says the city is violating state labor laws by not paying up.
Rizzo also has asked the city to pay his legal bills.
Bell Officials Misused $50 Million, Audit Finds
Bell's acting city attorney, Jamie Casso, says he can't comment on Spertus' claims, because it is a personnel matter.
Rizzo was one of the highest-paid municipal officials in the country when a Times investigation revealed that he would have earned more than $1.5 million in compensation this year.
Lawyer: Bell, CA, Owes Rizzo Severance, Back Pay

The Short Train by GwynConawayArtWatch
©2012-2016 GwynConawayArt
She looks great in it
Hey thanks a lot for the new hi-res version. The extra clarity makes a world of difference to the impact, and Allison's looking more gorgeous than ever. I've faved the picture now. Maybe a few people will notice it in my folder and drift her way.
Wow, what an outfit. Very sexy but with elegance too. And she's so gorgeous, especially the hair. I'd love a larger version of this, and I wish you had more shots on show. How come you only used four, when the outfit and model are both so spectacular? The glowy background is nice by the way.
Thank you! Allison is a wonderful collaborator~
Tim (the photographer) and I do a lot of shoots together and we both believe that less is more - although we may take over a thousand photos for one shoot, only a handful are selected! This allows our work to entice rather than flood the viewer.
Tim (the photographer) and I do a lot of shoots together and we both believe that less is more - although we may take over a thousand photos for one shoot, only a handful are selected! This allows our work to entice rather than flood the viewer.
Well, I know the value of picking just the best shots rather than letting things be diluted with a lot of weak or similar ones, but when you reduce an entire photoshoot to only three shots, that seems like taking the 'less is more' principal way too far. Instead of feeling enticed, I feel frustrated to think of all the other fine shots you surely took (with different angles and poses etc.), which the world may never have the good fortune to see. I'm grateful for this one lovely picture at least - your Allison is quite a vision - but I do think such a spectacular model and outfit (this elegant short train version - the best by far) deserved much more than just one picture, and it would've greatly strengthened your showing rather than weakened it. I hope you won't mind me giving that view but I offer it as honest audience feedback, just in case it might give you pause to consider. Because I'd really really love to see more of your graceful lady in black.
Well I appreciate the gesture, thanks, even if the dress isn't much on show there as you say. I notice that the new pic is actually in hi-res and so is the trainless one. I don't suppose you could likewise give us a hi-res version of The Short Train? Maybe you had some reason for keeping it relatively lo-res, I don't know, but it was the best pic by far.
That leather/plastic (not sure what it is made of) dress is so cool!
thank you! It's vinyl ; )
Lovely arts!! The model is gorgeous!
Amazing posing. The outfit really fits her! ouo
Great image!
Nice shoot.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
When this release gets started, there's no dicking around - so to speak. There are no time-consuming intro credits. It's just straight to the sex … and by "sex," one ultimately means ass sex.
Audrey Hollander is resplendent in silver and rhinestones as she masturbates until Otto Bauer distracts her with an ass full of cock, toys and her own hands. Lucy Lee looks tough one moment, and the next, she laughs with delight as Mark Davis drags her around the bed. Kelly Wells is in high foam and form, frantically sucking, fucking and swearing. Somehow, she looks both elegant and depraved.
Van Damage plays a cop willing to help a noisy punk rock bitch avoid jail. Dana Vespoli gets her ass seriously paddled before it's fucked - and the fun doesn't stop there!
Retailing: Plenty of quality ass antics for the lover of anal plunging.

Always open to new suggestions!
awesome! looks like you have a solid niche market, and also major props on keeping it going consistently for 6 months! a solid accomplishment. I have a question though, are those paid advertisements on your site? or links to other sites you run? I'm curious to know how much a banner goes for on a page with 2000 visits/month
thanks! yes they are paid ads... can't really share costs but lets say it covers the running of the site ;-)
Any one got any ideas how I change the login text link into a button? (I'm using the minimeta widget).
Haha well paid ads are always good! as my stats continue to go up I'm looking into my options and poking around, I don't mean to probe too much but do you mind if I ask what widget or plugin you have the banners in? I'm trying to find something that will work well with my site's layout.
As for a login button, I'm not sure of anything that will make it's appearance look any better than the text, I had the same problem, but solved it by taking out the login button completely. To me, it seems unnecessary for a site without multiple contributers. Now to login, I just have to the login url, which is 'yourdomain'.com/wp-admin
Its not too much of a hassle hope this helps!
cheers - I'm using the 'adrotate' plugin for the banners.
Regarding logging-in, fair point. A lot of my site is restricted to registered users though... will have a 'play' and see what I can do.
I would definitely fix the background to stretch across the entire background. There is black poking out of each side!
that's wierd... looks OK on my screens (right to the edge)up to 1680x1050. That image is sized at 1800x1200 and centred so should fill most screens.... are you using something with a higher res than that?
Mine is 1920x1080. Also some people like to hit (CTRL)+(-) to zoom out of webpages and if they do that to yours, you will also see the black. You could tile it? If you edit the image with seamless tiling, you wouldn't even know the difference. It would be like a neverending ocean.

New 'Sex and the City' Tour Will Stimulate Economy, Foreigners
The old 'Sex and the City' tour is not quite luxurious enough for travelers from abroad, so one travel company has come up with a tour that helps them take advantage of our weak dollar — and morals?
With the dollar at an all-time low, New York is basically becoming an apocalyptical theme park for foreigners, and four entire years after the show went off the air, one of their favorite rides is still the old, creaky Sex and the City tour. But the old tour wasn't quite nice enough for travelers from Dubai and Singapore, who come here not to ride buses around and chew on cupcakes, but to luxuriate in our fallow economy whilst tittering at our misfortune. And so a company called Destination on Location has upped the ante. They're offering a private tour, in which a group of seven to eight women will pay $24,000 to fly to New York by private jet; stay at the Plaza Athenee or, the Website says, "if you prefer hip and cool," the Alex Hotel; and do "everything Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and Carrie would do," including visit Socialista, Bungalow 8, Pink Elephant, and Cafeteria. And for an extra fee, out-of-work actors who look like fatter, uglier versions of Chris Noth and the guy who played Skippy will have bad sex with the travelers and then emotionally abuse them.*
High-end travel company offers $24G for 'Sex and the City' tour [NYDN]
*No, just kidding we made that up. But it's not a bad idea!

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4AA catchy title and attractive cover will grab the attention of readers; however, once this book is opened, confusion begins. Hank takes a group of children on a tour through a baseball and bat factory. Although there is ample information about how this equipment is made, the format is cluttered and the writing is sometimes awkward. The main text, written as dialogue, is outlined in blue. Sidebars enclosed in geometric shapes provide additional details, ranging from background information about the equipment to unimportant trivia. The children in the cartoon illustrations use dialogue bubbles to make comments that are sometimes relevant to the topic, and other times just silly or distracting. Double-page spreads about "Bats & Batting" and "Balls & Pitching" provide a smattering of baseball facts and interrupt the narrative flow. Jan Arnow's Louisville Slugger (Pantheon, 1984; o.p.) and William Jaspersohn's Bat, Ball, Glove (Little, Brown, 1989; o.p.) are better books on the topic.ABarb Lawler, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA

From Kirkus Reviews
In a format that echoes that of the Magic Schoolbus titles, Thomson (City Kids in China, 1991, etc.) takes readers behind the scenes at the manufacturer of baseball bats and balls. In the context of a factory tour given to a group of children and a dog, all of whom comment as they go along, author and illustrator limn the materials and the steps involved in making wooden bats, aluminum bats, and hardballs. They also include bits of baseball trivia and lore, a smattering of history (not only when the game became open to African-Americans, but also when the little leagues became open to girls), and some terminology. For young sports enthusiasts, this is an engrossing glimpse at a side of the game to which they may not have given much thought. The pictures, though a bit wooden, are perfectly serviceable and clear, rounding out this pleasant survey of an interesting subject.

"The colors are vibrant, the printing is super clear and the size is just great. I'm very please with these address labels. Traditional address labels crumble or flake off when they become wet, but the quality of these are just perfect for mailing in harsh weather."
"These look awesome. They are very classy looking and look very expensive. Looks like I spent a lot of money on them because of the quality. Love them!"
"These stunning address labels exude style and class. The traditional design printed in turquoise and mustard yellow are the perfect touch to any letter or package."
"LOVE these return labels! They look so adorable, if my fiances name wasn't on them I would make sure every envelope we sent out was hot pink. They are so stylish and modern. Will be ordering several more!"
"The labels turned out exactly as pictured and very cute. They are perfect for the cards I'm sending out. I would absolutely order again."

I Me Mine
|"I Me Mine"
|Song by the Beatles from the album Let It Be
|Harrisongs Ltd.
|8 May 1970
|3 January and 1 April 1970
Abbey Road Studios, London
|Folk blues,[1] hard rock[2]
|George Harrison
|Phil Spector
"I Me Mine" is a song by the Beatles, written and sung by George Harrison and released on their 1970 album Let It Be. The song originated from the January 1969 Get Back/Let It Be sessions, and its lyrics serve as a comment from Harrison on the fractious situation within the band. The Beatles rehearsed the song at Twickenham Film Studios that same month and formally recorded it a year later. It was the last new track recorded by the band before their split in April 1970. Harrison later entitled his 1980 autobiography I, Me, Mine.
I Me Mine is the ego problem. There are two 'I's: the little 'i' when people say 'I am this'; and the big 'I' - is duality and ego. There is nothing that isn't part of the complete whole. When the little 'i' merges into the big 'I' then you are really smiling!— George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology[3]
The set of pronouns which forms the song's title is a conventional way of referring to the ego in a Hindu context. For example, the Bhagavad Gita 2:71-72 can be translated as "They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I", "me" and "mine" to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality." Author Jonathan Gould claims that Harrison wrote "I Me Mine" "as a commentary on the selfishness" of his Beatles bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney and considers it poignant that the song was only properly recorded because, during the group's filmed rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios in January 1969, it had provided accompaniment to Lennon and his partner Yoko Ono dancing.[4] Gould writes that Harrison was particularly upset at Twickenham "that his fellow Beatles could complain about the amount of time they had to spend learning the arrangement for 'I Me Mine' and then turn around and submit to a laborious rehearsal of a song like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' which struck George as a paragon of pop inanity."[5] Gould contends further that, if "friends like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton heard something worthwhile in material like [Harrison's] 'All Things Must Pass'" then only "sheer egotism could account for the air of complete indifference with which Lennon and McCartney first greeted" both that tune and "I Me Mine".[6]
After receiving his "eternal problem" inspiration when writing the song, Harrison played some chords to a 6/8 time signature. The melody was inspired by the incidental music for a BBC television program, Europa – The Titled and the Untitled, which aired on 7 January 1969. Harrison wrote "I Me Mine" that night and performed it for the other Beatles the following morning.[7]
Musical structure[edit]
The verses of this song are in the key of A minor but the chorus is in A major. This technique of parallel minor/major contrast is also present in Beatles' songs including "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Savoy Truffle", "The Fool on the Hill", "Fixing a Hole", "Michelle", "Things We Said Today", "Do You Want to Know a Secret" and "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)".[8] The song begins in 6/8 time on "All through the day" with a shift from the I minor (Am) chord to a IV (D7) which Dominic Pedler of Total Guitar magazine considers emphasises the Dorian mode.[9] The progression in 3/4 time beginning with an F melody note on "Now they're frightened of leaving it" against minor iv (Dm) chord (the ♭3rd emphasising in Pedler's view the Aeolian mode) shifts to an V7 (E7) on "comin' on strong", but here (at 0.27 secs) the hauntingly strong ♭9 (F natural) melody note results in the suitably "dark drama" of the very rare (in pop music) E7♭9 chord in the key of A minor.[10] The song is also notable for concluding on an ♭VI (Fmaj7) chord in A minor key.[11]
The Let It Be documentary film features a segment in which Harrison plays the song for Ringo Starr and describes it as "a heavy waltz". Harrison, Starr and McCartney are then seen performing the tune while an uninterested Lennon dances with Ono. Close to a year later, by which time Lennon had privately announced he was leaving the band, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg chose to include the "I Me Mine" segment in the film. The Beatles therefore had to record the song for inclusion on the Let It Be album. On 3 January 1970, Harrison, McCartney and Starr met at Abbey Road Studios to work on the track with George Martin.[12] Lennon was on holiday in Denmark, although it is not known whether he would have attended the session anyway.[12]
The group recorded 16 takes of the song, the last of which was deemed satisfactory. Before take 15, Harrison delivered a mock press statement in which he made a joking reference to Lennon's absence and the British pop group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich: "You all will have read that Dave Dee is no longer with us. But Mickey and Tich and I would just like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in number two [EMI Studio 2]."[13] The statement, followed by take 16 of "I Me Mine", was released on the Anthology 3 compilation in 1996. The song lasted just over 1 minute 30 seconds, until Phil Spector – who had been invited by Lennon and Harrison to complete the Let It Be album – extended the length by copying the rock-styled chorus in the middle of the song, and repeating it at the end of the track. Spector also overdubbed a string and brass accompaniment. The final version, as "re-produced" by Spector, was featured on Let It Be. A similar edit, without Spector's overdubs but retaining the repeated section, was made available on the Let It Be... Naked album in 2003.
Although the sessions for "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "The End" in August 1969 were the last where all four Beatles were present in the recording studio, "I Me Mine" was the last new song recorded by the Beatles (albeit without Lennon) until sessions for the band's Anthology project in 1994. It was not their final recording session, however, since McCartney, Harrison and Starr continued to carry out various overdubs on the Let It Be tracks.
Let It Be was issued on 8 May 1970 with "I Me Mine" sequenced as the fourth track.[14] The release followed a month after McCartney's public announcement that he was leaving the Beatles, which had resulted in the group's break-up.[15] Among reviews of the album, Alan Smith derided the release as "a cheapskate epitaph" and a "sad and tatty end" to the band's career,[16] but he admired "George's Russian-flavoured 'I Me Mine'" as "a strong ballad with a frantic centre".[17] In Melody Maker, Richard Williams[18] wrote: "'I Me Mine' has a great organ/guitar intro, meditative verses and a tempo switch in and out of the rocking chorus, which has guitar riffs one step away from Chuck Berry. George put a lot of strength into this."[19]
The song is playable in the video game The Beatles: Rock Band. Spector's work was removed for the game's version.[20]

HARLEM The Helene Fuld College of Nursing kicked off its new mentorship program with an orientation luncheon for mentors and students March 6 at its Harlem location.
Mentorship program committee co-chairwoman and program coordinator Karla Fallon, MA, EdM, PhD, LMHC, and Ruth Brown, RN, also a committee co-chairwoman and vice president of the colleges board of trustees, explained that the program was modeled after a part of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses Mentorship Academy.
Guest speakers at the event included NAHN members Vivian Torres-Suarez, RN, BSN, MBA, who created the academy as part of her work as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation fellow, and Aida Egues, RN, DNP, APHN-BC, PHNS-BC, CNE, a Mentorship Academy member.
Egues, an assistant professor of nursing at New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn and Pace University in Manhattan, served as the luncheons keynote speaker. She told attendees that as a student and second-career nurse, she could not find a mentor to help her navigate through her studies. Her experience prompted her to choose a career as an educator, she said.
I became a professor of nursing so I wouldnt forget what its like to be a student, she said.
A few of the nurses Egues mentored were on hand to share their experiences. All of them expressed their gratitude for having someone who was willing to help them and who continued to provide guidance well into their professional careers.
Recent graduate Amy Soto, RN, spoke of how important her relationship with Egues was to her while in school, and continues to be now that she is about to embark on a career in nursing. Soto said she often doubted her ability when classes became more challenging and is grateful Egues was there for support.
Even when I kept telling her I couldnt do it because it was too hard, she would tell me to snap out of it, Soto laughed. And I would!
Those interested in becoming mentors gave short presentations about their backgrounds to students and explained why they would make good mentors.
Although they were in different specialties and stages in their careers, all the mentors expressed how important it was to them to give back. After hearing the presenters, students wrote down the names of three mentors with whom they wished to be paired.
Once paired, proteges and their chosen mentors completed a contract that outlined their goals and expectations. In all, seven mentors and 11 protegees are participating in the inaugural class, Fallon said.
Torres-Suarez congratulated the programs participants. The opportunity to mentor proteges is a gift, she said. Its the development of a relationship.

Before DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz mixtape series made him a hip-hop celeb, he entered the game via the underground as Binkis Recs' first DJ. Drama met Jax while attending Clark Atlanta University in the mid-1990s.
The first time I met Jax, it was like my freshman year of college at Clark, in, I think it was 1996. Jax had already been down here for a year and I was on campus. I had some ski goggles on, he was standing in front of the library listening to Flux and, you know, he gave me like a "what up" nod and we just started talking.
I guess we just started talking about hip-hop or whatever and we realized we had taste in common. I would see him around like my freshman year and everything, but we weren't all that close at first.
Then, after my freshman year, I had come back down here after going home for a second. When I came down, I was on the MARTA bus one time and I ran into Jax. We were both going to, I think, the Arts Center MARTA exit and he told me that he was about to start working for this guy named Marco. I knew Marco, because I knew about the shop [Marco's Pita] on Ponce [de Leon Avenue]. He was about to start working for Marco. Marco was about to open up another shop on campus and I was like, "Word? He need anybody else to work?"
And he said, "I don't know, go holla at him."
That was really how me and Jax befriended each other, by working at the pita shop on campus. Jax was the manager, and he hired me and Spice to work there. So, you know, you had three young hip-hop cats who all did music working in the shop on campus, selling pitas. Like, it was like a dream job come true.
After Binkis Recs' song "Beat You in the Head" won several weeks of the demo battle on New York radio host Bobbito's program in 1999, he invited them up to perform at the 23rd Annual Rock Steady Reunion.
I remember early on Bobbito took an early liking to Binkis and started fucking with us and he definitely put us on to the Rock Steady 23rd Anniversary. Then we had the Major League MCs – it was Massinfluence, it was Binkis Records, it was Big Von, it was Rubix. We had a big show at the Masquerade and we put it together like a sports show.
Jax was really my homie when it came to hip-hop. He always supported everything I did. Like, my early mix tapes here in Atlanta, I would hustle them through the pita shop and Jax would always support me. And if I wasn't there, he would help sell the tapes.
What set him apart is he was who he was. He wasn't somebody that, you know, tried to conform. He had his own sound. He had his own love for the music. And he stayed true to it and did his thing.
You know, I told Jax a couple of years ago, "When you need me, brother, I know we might have gone in different directions." But I told him whenever he needs me on a mixtape or just in general, just let me know; I got you. He stayed true to his music.
After I had gotten outta school and me, Sense and Cannon really started the Aphilliates, that was how I started going in the direction of the Aphilliates and then Binkis was doing them. But even though we went in different paths and different directions, it was always love and Jax was always proud of me. And when we ran into each other and when we talked, it was always kudos and props, and we would still build like it was no time in between us.
Me working at the pita shop, that was a very special time in my life – just the connection that we all had and the fun times that we all had. That's something that you really can't get back. I'm sad to see him gone, but people need to realize that he was a beautiful person and he definitely lived it and I'm proud to have known him.
