Product 6/43
Visual Solar Filter (107mm aperture)Fits tube ODs 119mm to 130mm
To ensure proper fit of the solar filter you must measure the outside diameter of the front opening of the telescope, binoculars or lens. To convert inch measurements to metric, multiply your tube diameter measurement that is in inches by 25.4. This will give you the diameter in millimeters. NOTE: These filters cannot accomodate dovetail bars, counterweight bars or other accessories or devices that extend to the front of the telescope. If your telescope has accessories that will interfer with the fit of this particular filter, you must purchase the 6***-SF version of our filters. A COSMETIC NOTE ABOUT BAADER SOLAR FILM Unlike glass filters, Baader film does not have a perfect cosmetic surface. Wrinkles, folds, kinks, pinholes and other imperfections in this film are normal and will be present on any Baader film solar filter purchased from us. These do not affect the image quality or safety of the filter. Pinholes, even at full solar intensity, work as a camera obscura. This means that each pinhole would project its own solar image, just like eyepiece projection.
Anyone expecting or requiring a perfect cosmetic filter surface should consider another manufacturer's filter.
Having said this, know that Baader film filters are famous for their exquisite sharpness and detail across the entire field of view in an eyepiece and have a very pleasing and comfortable image brightness.
Also, this film is incredibly tough and does not break or tear easily. To puncture it with a blunt object takes a lot of force, much more force that would be used in normal day to day useage. And if by unfortunate chance the filter does get damaged, the film in the filter can be replaced. We will be offering internal replacement filter rings very soon.

i dont know how i did without such a great tractor.have a mf 65 also.love the ease of use with the mahindra;power steering.bucket,4x4 and very comfortable to ride.there is a lot of additional controls that im still learning to use but only have 6 acres and a large garden.so i dont use alot.i would recommend this tractor as it is all that i wanted and price was great too.i shopped around a lot but found mahindra to be a great buy and a great product.
being a previous mahindra , i knew about the quality and craftmanship they put in there products,five years ago i purchased a new 2615 4wd my frist tractor ,not one moment of trouble, but my little company has grown and i need a little more horse power after searching the web i purchased a new 3535 this tractor is un real , i have now cut all of my cutting times in half , outstanding performance, stable and looks great ,Mahindra , Well Done Murrays Lawn Service
I had a 2008 3215 HST that was a great tractor, just too small for what I needed. After working with Kris Liles at Straub International in Salina, KS I got a GREAT trade in value for it. I moved into the 5035 HST because of the lifting capabilities. I am a huge fan of the HST and for what I do around the barns I need the control. With a bum knee the clutch work isn't fun. I stayed with Mahindra because of the workmanship and value. I cannot say enough about Kris and Straub Int. While I have nowhere near the hours I would like to have (yet) I know I won't be disappointed. I move 1800 lb bales and have no problem with the loader and power. The only downside is the rear is just a tad light. I do not what to fill the tires so a ballast box is in order.
I got a good deal on this tractor being a year old on the lot. I needed a cab tractor because of my allergies when I mow or do dirtwork. When you walk up to this tractor you would think it's too small to get any real work done, but don't let it fool you.
Great little tractor, and in the 100 degree heat that we have in Texas, I was mowing in 70 degree a/c weather. Put a 72" or 84" finishing mower behind this thing, and you can throw away that zero-turn or riding mower. I'll save you the shopping time: the comparable 3520 John Deere is $36k, I picked the Mahindra 3616 up for $21k with a loader.
Love it very simple tractor to operate has lot of power
We shopped and shopped for a general purpose tractor. We decided Mahindra because of the value was head and shoulders above the competition. Ruby came to farm and went to work. I cut lanes in our nasty cutover. Brush, briars, hedges, small trees and everything in our path we cut. Several days and shear bolts later we clipped pasture. Ruby is impressing me more and more. Well God had some plans for us and a hobby for gardening boomed. The general purpose tractor is our go to row crop tractor. Our land had been overgrazed and poorly kept when purchased it 4 years ago. I bought a single shank subsoiler and got to it. Broke hard pan and shear bolts. I plowed the first plot in August the ground was pretty hard and I plowed as deep as the 14" two bottom would go. I pull 34" wide 6" tall beds with combo bedder. Most local growers use bigger tractors or smaller equipment. This tractor has been money well spent. We are happy to say we farm with Mahindra. The whole group from dealer to Chuck ( I think) the engineer in Texas has been great to deal with. I called Houston about a question that is not common and they put withan engineer who helped me. I am beyond pleased at the commitment to service. I have videos and pictures of what we do and will continue document our farm and Ruby's role in keeping it rolling on Facebook pages reyer farms. Thank you Mahindra, and Tony/ Randy @ the Tractor Store for all your help.
I purchaced a new 6010 HST Cab HST Cab in March of 2012. I love the tractor. The price was better than other compairable brands with the same features. The standard warranty is 2 years longer than the others.
Has plenty of power. Easy to operate.
My only disappointment is the HVAC system. I live in Texas...it's hot here in the summer, on those 100+ degree days, the AC system might get the cab down to 95...90 if you're really lucky. For $32,000, you'd think the AC system would cool like a new car, but it doesn't. Even the manual states that it should cool to 20 degrees below the ambient temp. It doesn't. If you're mowing a field or creating any dust, you have to blow out the radiator and condensor every hour or so, or you lose the AC altogether.
the only other issue I have had was the condensation lines in the roof of the cab for the AC system have kinked twice on me and had to have the dealer pick it up and fix it each time. My thanks to the dealer, they have been very good about taking care of these issues. It seems that there is a design flaw in the way these lines are placed in the roof, and others have had the same problem as well.
tractor has plenty of power love it easy driving power plus ,cons is if brushhoging you have to build skid plates under entire tractor or you will knock the oil filer off and the filter for the hydrolics lines under tractor to hydrolicks are easy to knock off if you spend a week building all the skid plates needed is jam up have to have guards for the sides that are not covered on motorso you dont knock them off. oil filter hangs down 2 inches below the motor so a small tree 1\2 in in diamiter will knock it off
Bought the 28XL in early June 2012. Have had it two mons. now. Got 25 hrs on it. Have been doing mostly site preparation work with it. Rocky/shale terrain. About 50/50 loader, backhoe time. Have absolutely no complaints with it. Looked at just about every other compact available. Price vs. performance won out across the board. Looking forward to much more work with it.
So far I love my tractor with loader. Ive got around 6 acres of yard grass to keep mowed and about 25 acres of pasture that I bush hog a few times a year. I hardly ever hear the engine bog and I mow some pretty thick stuff. I previously owned a tractor (much older) in the 48hp PTO range, so I was a little worried about power moving down. It is noticeable a little honestly but not so much that it makes a dramatic difference. Oh and if you are worried about using the shuttle, if you have ever used a gear drive tractor, shuttle is like eating cake and ice cream. I didnt go with hydrostatic only because I wasnt sure if I needed it, and I didnt. You may find that you desire hydrostatic, I tested it out and it did fine, I just prefer shuttle. I believe if you are a landowner in the 5-10 acre range, plant food plots, do landscaping projects of any size, this tractor beats the rest. I started out looking at John Deere and Kubota, you see where I ended up. Do not pass your mahindra dealership when shopping for a tractor. Try one out, I guarantee you will like it.

I am reaching out to the women on this birth board because I can't talk to anyone else right now and I have seeked comfort in talking to many of you about past issues or situations. I am an active member on this board but I did make a new profile in order to post this because I feel that I need to stay anonymous right now. You'll see why I say that in a minute. It is a delicate situation so I am asking for some help and advice.
On Valentines day, I went with my husband to his mom's because they were having a little get together for his nephew's birthday and the whole family was there. There was a disagreement at one point during the night and my husband's brother- Let's call him Mark- got angry and started fighting with the family. He has some anger issues and really should be in some kind of anger management. He knows that and so does everyone else. He just hasn't done it.
So Mark and his wife have three kids (6 yo boy, 4 yo girl, and 2 yo boy). Well since he got angry at everyone, he told his wife and kids that it was time to leave. He went downstairs to where his 4 year old was crying and he was still extremely frustrated. I was down there and so was my husband. Mark saw his 4 yo crying and- I kid you not- picked her up and THREW her across the room. I know people say that sometimes and are exaggerating but I am not. At one point, her body was a good 3 feet off the ground and she landed on her bottom about 6 feet away. He might as well have thrown a chair or some other inanimate object because that's actually what I thought it was before I realized it was his daughter. My husband immediately got in his face and told him that he better throw him before he ever threw his kid again. This almost started a fight between them and I was ready to call the cops. I was furious at him for throwing her and since she is only 2 weeks older than my daughter, it made me even more sick. His wife was very angry with him as well when I told her what I saw and shortly after, they left.
I was shaking for a good while after they left and me and my husband stayed and talked with the rest of his family about everything. Everyone was pretty shaken up about it but when I had mentioned that I was ready to call the cops during the whole thing, they all looked at me like I was crazy. After we left, my husband sort of explained to me that they do not "believe" in calling the cops on each other even for physical fights. They just kind of work it out between themselves.
Well the next day, what I saw was still really bothering me so I asked my husband how he would feel if "hypothetically" me or someone else called CPS to investigate child abuse in their home. (This is technically not the first time I have seen Mark take his anger out on his children. I have seen him grab his oldest son by the arm and yank him to time out and I have seen him use excessive force when spanking him as well.) My husband did not get angry with me for suggesting it but did make it clear that it would be very hard for him to forgive me if I did that. He asked me if it were the other way around and I were to see my brother or sister abusing one of their kids, would I be able to call the cops on one of them? The easy answer is "yes because I would be protecting a child" but it is a much more complicated situation when you're actually in it. You want to protect the child but also protect your brother/sister at the same time.
I am just at a loss as to what to do. The mother and common sense human being in me is telling me to report this but the wife of my husband in me is telling me to just keep out of it. I love these kids and don't want to see them hurt and I don't want to see Mark get arrested or anything. I want him to get help. I want him to go to anger management so that he can stop treating everyone around him like dirt. Especially his kids.
Oh another quick aside, I know many of you are thinking about Mark's wife and why she would stay with a man who was treating her kids like this when he's angry. It's a bit more complicated than that. She is living here without legal papers (they are in the process of working with a lawyer to get them for her) and basically if she would report it and he were investigated and then arrested for any reason, she would need to go back to her country and the kids would need to stay here because they were born here. There is also no guarantee that she would ever be able to come back.
Please, help me to figure out what to do. I know if I were to call CPS that it would be anonymous if I wanted it to but my husband would know it was me if his brother was suddenly being investigated for child abuse since I brought it up. I know that a your immediate response is going to be "it is the life of a child, you HAVE to report it" or "what are you waiting for?" but please, try to see why I am torn. On one hand, if I call, it would be the right thing to do from an outsider's point of view. But on the other hand, it is my marriage and I would feel like I am betraying my husband by calling.
I wish there were an easy answer here but there is not. So please, I am asking for your help here. Is there any way for me to do the right thing for those kids without severely damaging my marriage at the same time? Please try not to attack me or my husband on this thread. Please just try to help me come up with a solution.

Home opener: Today!
(Cleveland) - Some have called it Cleveland's National Holiday. The Indians have their home opener with the Minnesota Twins this afternoon at 3:05 at Progressive Field.
This sold-out home opener is a bit special, as it's the 20th anniversary of the ballpark's first home opener on April 4, 1994. That day, the Indians faced the Seattle Mariners at what was then called Jacobs Field. President Bill Clinton threw out the ceremonial first pitch and the Tribe broke in the new ballpark with a win.
Danny Salazar will get the ball for the Tribe. The Indians come into the series 2-1 after starting the season by taking two from the Oakland A's. The Twins are 1-2 on the young season.
WTAM 1100 is broadcasting live from Progressive Field all day. You can hear the game called by Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus starting at 3:05 p.m.

Can you tell us what it's from?
If it's possible that the data is from any kind of mainframe or mini (e.g. IBM AS400) it could be EBCDIC. The ASCII equals sign is the EBCDIC "NAK" character. The NAK is often used as a separator in databases and similar applications.

This was a Blog i wrote originally on the EFN forum Last Year.Many of you may have read it,but i'm reprinting it here for those that didn't.
As any of you who have known me a while know i have to travel a lot for work.
I am currently working in Spain.
I always try to train in new academies while away,and teach my workmates BJJ.
I normally travel with enough mats to teach 6 people and for one pair to roll unresricted by space.
I thought it would be interesting for you guys to read about my travels and teaching.
Arrived at my Hotel and went to check out the 'gym'.It is on the top floor of the hotel and overlooks the ocean.
It has an outdoor pool on a terrace,an indoor jacuzzi,steamroom and sauna.
The 'gym' part of it consists of a cheap running machine,old excersise bike and an elyptical walker.
The gym is really a 'spar'.I have decided not to ask the hotel about putting mats in there-i am just going to do it-
and if they say anything i will complain that their gym is not sufficient and my mats are for my daily yoga regime.
My assistants carry the mats into the hotel on their shoulders followed by me humping a suitcase containing some press up
bars,2x10kg dumbells and a single 30kg dumbell.We must look a little strange.I smile at the receptionist who looks slightly
confused and offer up a friendly "Buenos Dias!".We get in the lift before she can reply and hit the button for the 5th floor.
We are in the hotel off season so there is nobody in the spar-no staff and no guests.I set up the mats,then do
a 'weights' workout-
3xsets of press ups to failure using the press up bars that allow full range of movement a little like a bench press.
3x sets of one arm,bent over dumbell rows with the 30kg dumbell.
3x sets of lateral raises for side delts with the 10kg dumbells.
p.s. My weights routines on this blog do not represent how i train in London-they are a 'needs-must' way with minimal equipment
while travelling to maintain strength.
My first Jiu Jitsu workout in my new 'dojo'.The surroundings being slightly more upmarket than the Carlson Gracie London 'BoilerRoom'!
There have been no complaints from the hotel about the new mats and weights that have mysteriously appeared in their 'spar'.
My first new student is Paul.A 34 year old guy i am working with.He has no martial arts experience but does a physical job and is a good snowboarder.
We are,of course,going to be training 'No Gi'.This is because none of my workmates are experienced and will want to buy kimono's.They wouldn't understand
or want to wear a gi.They want me to teach them some 'gracie shit' like in the 'ufc'.
I do a really thorough warm up with Paul-including Carlson Gracie Neck crunches-anyone who has trained with Wilson,Me or Dickie will wince at
the thought of these!
We then do about 15 minutes of stretching which is a bastardisation of my old Taekwondo stretch routine (have you seen tkd high kicks.....?) and
I then show Paul what 'Guard,side control,knee on chest and mount' look like and explain the hierachy of positional dominance in BJJ.
I then teach him the basic 'knee in bum,elbows in quads,trap his leg under your leg' guard pass.
Then its onto side control and an americana submission-showing the secret details.................
We then spar from kneeling.I tell him he can go as crazy as he likes as long as he doesn't put his fingers in my eyes.
I jump guard and after 2 minutes rolling around he is gassed and can't continue.
I was careful not to submit him-because in my experience if you submit people on their 1st session their ego can't take it and they may
not return.I need Paul.I am away until April and i only have him to train with...............
We manage to sneak out of the spar without any questions from the Hotel Staff.Paul persuades me to dismantle the matts and leave them in a
pile in the corner of the spar so they are less conspicuous.It only takes 3 minutes-He's right.
To Be Continued.
Before i left England i had googled "BJJ Los Alazares" and got nothing-same with Judo,which is always my second google
if BJJ doesn't show anything up.
I then looked for the nearest city to 'Los Alcazares' and found it is Murcia.
I then googled 'BJJ Murcia' and found a small advertisement on a local sport forum advetising 'Rafael Santos-Jiu Jitsu Brasiliero Professor'.
I sent him an email saying i would like to come and train and he sent me an email back in spanish saying i would be welcome and not regret it!
I then googled his name and found a you tube video of 'Rafael Santos vs another guy'.They both looked like monsters-over 90kg and at a high level-
i would say Brown or Black Belt (the fight was No Gi).I was going to have my work cut out.
When i arrived at work i asked some of the spanish crew how far it was to Murcia.They told me about 40km's and about 40 euro's each way in a cab.
Phew.This was going to be an expensive excercise.
After work i ordered a cab for 6.30pm at the hotel (the class started at 7.30) and got in the cab with an address written on a scrap of paper.
The cab driver didn't speak any english and i don't speak any spanish apart from
"Donde estas SPACE por favor" from my Ibiza days of the past..............
I had been in the Cab about 50 minutes and the fare had gone to about 55 euro's before i started getting concerned.
We were in the Northern Outskirts of a strange city,and maybe it was my arsehole going-because travelling to a new club in
a new country is always a little 'challenging' on the old bottle (a bit like going to a competition),the surroundings were looking
a little industrial and rough.
The cab driver stopped and asked a couple of people if they knew where the gym was.They didn't.He eventually found a policeman who
immediately knew the gym-he said it was new.I managed to understand that.
We eventually arrived at the gym at 7.35- i was 5 minutes late and had been in the cab for over an hour.
The journey cost me 70 euro's (about £50.)
The gym had a glass front and looked like a very high quality Body Building gym-and it was packed with monsters.
I scoped it from the outside and saw a first floor with glass walls overlooking the ground floor weights room.
There were two first floor rooms-one with an aerobics class going on and another with 4 guys wearing Gi's standing and talking.
The way the Dojo had a glass wall and overlooked the main gym reminded me of 'The Third Space' in London's Soho.
I made my way into the gym,and stopped at the desk where there was a turnstile.
I smiled at the female bodybuilder there and just said "Jiu Jitsu",hoping she wouldn't
tell me i had to be a member,pay insurance or do an induction.
She clicked the turnstile and in i walked.I carried on through all the steroid heads
training over to the stairs in the corner.Up the stairs and into the dojo,taking my shoes off and bowing
at the door.There was a 35 year old Purple Belt who was about 6ft 2in and about 85kgs.
I knew immediately he would have a guard game specialising in triangles.
Its funny how after all these years you know by looking at someone what their BJJ will consist of
after 2 seconds.
He was with a small young Blue Belt and 2 big white belts who were in their Thirties.
The Purple belt walked over to me and i asked "Professor?" he said "Si" and i said "Simon Hayes-Email!"
He said "Porra" and i realised
1.He was not the Rafael Santos from You Tube (phew)
2.He spoke NO english.
3.I spoke a few words of Spanish and a few words of Portuguese-like 'Porra' 'Puta Kipario' 'passe le guard' 'Valeo' 'porra' 'PORRA!!' and 'poooorrrrraaaaa'.
This was going to be interesting.
One of the white belts came over-and his english was about as good as my french-he could understand many single words but got lost on sentences.
I tried to explain that i was sorry i was late,and that i came 'muito kilometres' and that i would like to train and none of them understood a word i said.
I then just said 'OK.Me-kimono' and pointed downstairs to the changing room.They all looked happy and then the Instructor asked the White Belt something
in spanish.The white belt asked me 'You-what belt'.I said Brown and he looked shocked.He said something in spanish to the instructor and the instructors
smile left his face.He said to me 'Faixa Marom?' and i said "Si".
I then turned and left the dojo to go and get changed.
I got into my plain white Mizuno Judo Gi.Wearing a plain judo gi when you are at other peoples academy is a mark of respect to them.
It is disrespectful to turn up with Bulldogs all over your Gi,and can change a nice welcoming reception into resentment and
competitiveness very quickly.
I know how i feel when someone turns up with another teams patch at Carlsons.Much as i try to be mature about it,it bothers me-i am being honest here.
Its like turning up to train at Chelsea with an Arsenal Kit.
I also use a Judo Gi so if i can't find a Jiu Jitsu Club i can go and train at a Judo Club without being immediately labelled a 'BJJ guy'.

POMONA - An Ontario mechanical lift business is interested in consolidating its operations and relocating to a location across the street from a recently approved retail center in southern Pomona.
King Equipment LLC would like to move three different smaller sites, including locations in Ontario and San Pedro, and consolidate them at a 6.03-acre site on the northwest corner of Rio Rancho Road and Auto Center Drive that was once home to an automobile dealership.
However, some City Council members wonder if a business that sells and leases new and used lifts and forklifts is compatible with a future retail center anchored by a Target store.
"I don't see a shopping center and cranes," said Councilwoman Cristina Carrizosa during the meeting.
Kevin Knox, who represents King Equipment, said his client has a successful business that is ready to move into the site and begin generating tax revenue.
"King Equipment is a 30-year-old business," Knox said. "It can occupy the (building) today and open tomorrow - literally that fast."
Last month, a proposal for a conditional use permit for the business went to the city's Planning Commission, which approved it pending the City Council's approval of a zone change.
The zone change is necessary because under current city regulations a business such as King Equipment is not a permitted use in the highway commercial and light industrial zones.
The proposed zone change went before the City Council this week, where Knox learned the Planning Commission's decision has been appealed.
Mayor Elliott Rothman said he requested the appeal because the project is a large one.
"For a project like that, it should be looked at by the City Council," he said.
At one point during the meeting, Councilman Freddie Rodriguez proposed postponing the zone change until the two recently elected members of the council have been seated.
But three of the six council members present - Councilwomen Danielle Soto, Paula Lantz and Ginna Escobar - were in favor of addressing the matter.
Lantz said the council should address the matter and reminded colleagues that in the recent election just about all candidates spoke about the need to be business-friendly.
She pointed out the business's representatives had attended the meeting under the impression they were approaching the end of having their project approved but instead learned an appeal had been filled.
Council members discussed the matter and ended up voting 3-3 with Rodriguez, Carrizosa and Rothman voting against approving the zone change.
Council members agreed to postpone addressing the matter until Dec. 3.
At that time the council will once again hold a public hearing in relation to the zoning change proposal, said City Clerk Marie Macias.
Council members will also determine at that time if they wish to schedule a hearing for the appeal, she said.
Rodriguez said Tuesday he has concerns about the zone change, which would affect all areas zoned highway commercial and light industrial in the city, as well as having a business selling industrial equipment near a retail center.
"Is this going to be a good fit?" Rodriguez asked. "This is going to be a huge project with Target."
"I look at other cities and they don't have anything like that" nearby, Rodriguez said, referring the proposed business near retail centers.
In October, the Planning Commission unanimously approved a proposal for Rio Rancho Towne Center, which will be built on more than 36 acres east of the 71 Freeway. A large part of the land was occupied by auto dealerships making up the Pomona Auto Center.
The Towne Center project, will be built in two phases, will straddle White Avenue. First to be built will be the eastern portion, which will be constructed on the northeast corner of White Avenue and Auto Center Drive.
The Target store is expected to be open by October 2013.
The western portion of the development will be bound by the 71 Freeway, Lexington Avenue and White.
No date has been set as to when the western portion of the development will be completed since the city and the project's development firm are waiting to see if the state Department of Finance accepts a development agreement between the city and the developers.
The agreement between the now-defunct Pomona redevelopment agency and the developers involves $1.4 million in agency assistance that would be used to relocate a storm drain that crosses the western side of the property.
Rodriguez said the equipment dealership may be better suited for a different part of the city, perhaps somewhere along Mission Boulevard near the 71 Freeway.
Councilwoman Cristina Carrizosa said she was surprised to hear the Planning Commission's decision was appealed since it had been approved without facing opposition.
She was also surprised the business would be interested in the site since it's in a location that is already the subject of development.
Carrizosa has questions about having retail shops and a business with very large pieces of equipment so close to each other, she said.
"I can't visualize a natural flow," Carrizosa said.
On the other hand, the equipment dealership could generate significant tax revenue for the city.
"It's a contradictory situation," she said.
Knox said his client does between $18 million and $21 million worth of business annually and that figure is expected to grow.
About 60 percent of the company's earnings come from sales.
The city would receive about 1 percent of the 8.25 percent sales tax, City Manager Linda Lowry said.
Knox said in Pomona, King Equipment would sell and lease new and used equipment in addition to selling parts and servicing equipment.
The Pomona site is large enough to accommodate the growing business which serves the Southern California region, he said.
The site is appealing "not necessarily for the visibility," Knox said. "It's the size and location."

Poor design.

Best Uses
I would not recommend this heating pad. It's one size fits all did not properly fit in the small of the back. It bunched up and the heating element was partially off my back. The on/off button is also exposed so if you lie on your back you can change the setting or turn it off.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Press to receive Governor's Award Oct. 30
By Marshall Swanson, University Magazine Group, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-0138
The University of South Carolina Press, the state's oldest and largest publisher, has been named as a recipient of this year's annual Governor's Awards in the Humanities. The awards will be presented at a luncheon Oct. 30 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
"This is a monumental honor," said Jonathan Haupt, the press' director. "The press is directly connected to 25 of the past 59 recipients of this award, so we're in impressive as well as familiar company."
Established in 1991, the Governor's Awards in the Humanities recognize outstanding achievement in humanities research, teaching, and scholarship. Since its creation in 1944, the press has published a wide range of titles falling under the rubric of the humanities. It currently has 1,000 titles in print, and more than half are devoted to the heritage and culture of the region.
Nineteen previous Governor's Awards in the Humanities winners have been USC Press authors, collaborative partners, or contributors.

Just as with humans, improved health care has meant an increased life span for dogs and cats. Along with aging come frequent minor health concerns. Follow these tips on caring for an older pet to head off serious problems.
Provide Your Pet With:
- Regular checkups—at least once a year—from middle age on. For dogs, that's from around seven years of age, and earlier for the big breeds. Cats reach middle age between eight and ten years.
- Daily exercise
- Weight Control
- Extra fiber
- Healthy snacks
- Supplemental diet
- Antioxidants
- Plenty of water
- Finally, keep aging pets close to home and by your side. If they are losing their hearing, you don't want them running out into traffic or other dangerous situations. Help children understand that aging pets may get cranky.
When should you bring an older pet to the vet?
If you notice any of these abnormalcies, it's time to consult with a professional.
- A lump or bump
- Shortness of breath
- An appetite change
- Weight loss
- Drinking a lot of water
- Scratching and digging at the skin
Your Dog Can Get Alzheimer's
Dogs can lose mental functioning as they age, much as humans do. While some loss is normal, other cognitive problems could be signs of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CD). The symptoms and behavioral changes of CD are caused by histolic lesions in the brain, very similar to the type found in people with Alzheimer's. CD strikes dogs that are age seven or older.
Common Symptoms of CD:
- Disorientation
- Lack of response to familiar verbal cues, such as their name or calls from usual family members
- Loss of house-training skills
- Sleep disruption
Medications for CD are available. As with Alzheimer's researchers are learning more about this syndrome every day.

Thai wedding festivities last longer - a continuation
The Biker's Diary
By Dr. Jan Meyer
Monday, December 10, 2012 2:28 AM
The second part of the wedding we recently attended in Thailand was not the same day as the first part, as would have been the tradition. However, as it was explained to me when we were there in March and attended one half of each of two weddings, the floods the previous year caused many weddings to be postponed. As a result, everyone was now playing "catch-up" and the hotels were so busy it was difficult to book an evening venue on the same auspicious date as the one set for the morning ceremony.
A second reason for the separation that is fast becoming common is that, like here, more and more bridal couples are opting for "destination" weddings. That was the case with this event: the morning and smaller gathering with the monks was held at a beach resort a little more than two hours from the city. The evening portion was held in Bangkok, where more of the family and family friends could attend.
This one was actually late afternoon starting at 4:30, announced as "high tea." But it did go on into the evening because the food was seemingly endless. It was table after table of "heavy" hors d'oeuvres.
This one was held in a large hotel's garden, as beautiful and romantic a setting as the beach had been the Sunday morning before. Before leaving home, I had struggled with what to take along to wear. The morning ceremony was easy, because I knew it was going to be outside and likely very hot. And, it was the very same blouse that I had worn to the groom's older brother's wedding more than 15 years before - an oldie but goodie.
But this late afternoon garden reception turned out to be another story. Shortly after arrival, our host reminded me that it was going to be late afternoon, and outdoors with no air conditioning. I quickly realized that my Thai silk jacket and skirt, both of which are lined, were not going to work. I did not want to spend the time wishing I was inside or that I could take off my jacket. So I first went in search of a lighter blouse that I might be able to wear with the skirt, even though it would still mean wearing the dreaded pantyhose.
I found what I thought would be the perfect top, a lacy thing that has been described to me as "the uniform" of older Thai women. I got it back to our "home" and tried it on with the skirt, and no, it was not going to do. So back to the store it went.
I did have a blouse along that would work, if only I had a skirt. So, the morning of the reception, I went to the weekend market (about 5,000 vendors to choose from!) in search of a skirt. It had to be long - no pantyhose required - an appropriate color for the blouse and shoes, and still dressy enough for the reception.
I lucked out: there was a shop that sells what I had always thought were just gorgeous skirts, but had never bought one because of the price. This time, however, my reasoning was that I had not purchased anything else new for either portion of this wedding - an occasion which certainly justified new clothes! - I could splurge on this one item. And that resolved the clothing dilemma.
The reception, like the morning ceremonies the week before, was beautiful and fun. Besides the good food, it was sort of a mini-reunion with a lot of Thai friends. There was a video set up on the edge of the lawn that was running continuous footage of the entire event at the beach. And the highlight was the speeches! It is usual at a Thai wedding reception that a dignitary will start out with congratulations and well wishes, followed by other important people, and the parents of the bride and groom. Finally, it is the time for the bridal couple, first the bride, Noi. When it was John's (the groom's) turn, he switched to English, first saying because he didn't feel his Thai was as good as it could be, and also so the guests (like us!) who did not speak Thai could hear too.
John then told of his and Noi's history together. They were in the same class in middle grades in Bangkok, but did not become fast friends until about a year later. He said that they had so much in common, with the same likes and dislikes, it just seemed natural.
When he came to the U.S. for high school, they stayed in touch, writing letters to each other every day and sometimes more than once a day. But distance is a problem, and also as he put it, "due to some stupidity on my part," they lost touch with each other.
Years later, he was visiting his ailing father in Bangkok and just happened to locate Noi on the Internet. He sent her an email, but did not hear back for what seemed to him like a long time.
When she did respond, her first words were "I couldn't remember you at first!" But they agreed to meet the next time he was in Bangkok, and when they did they discovered that the years in between just melted away, and they still had so much in common. He moved back to Thailand, and the rest, as "they" say, is history.
That certainly made for a fitting end to a wonderful two-part celebration which marked starting their new life together. Now they are busy doing what newly-marrieds do so well: planning their future.

A continuation of Computer Science 6 and ENG 53. Object-oriented design and
programming using Java emphasizing abstract data types and
their lower-level implementations. Advanced data structures including
balanced trees, hash tables, graphs. Intuitive and rigorous analysis of
algorithms. We use the
Eclipse environment.
On Average, the pivot will be "in the middle" and this will be average time O(n log n). But worst case the pivot is on the end each time and there is only one recursive call of size n-1, so worst case this could be O(n squared).
We will setup consulting hours and office hours, they will be posted on the CompSci 100e web page starting next week.
You can also post questions on the course bulletin board. Please try to be explicit as possible (Having trouble setting up your computer, please tell us what type of computer, operating system, etc...).
This is a second course for Computer Science majors or those who want to gain more experience with programming. The course assumes prior experience with programming (but not in Java) using such things as variables, conditionals, loops, functions, and collections (lists, arrays). Prerequisite: CompSci 6, ENG 53 or the equivalent.

Berry rescuer saw her "going nuts trying to get out"
(Cleveland) - Charles Ramsey had no idea that when he woke up Monday he'd be one of the most famous people in Cleveland by the end of the day.
He was walking home with dinner when he heard a woman screaming from a home on Seymour Avenue.
"I'm was coming to her rescue because that's what I do. You know why? Because I'm a human being," Ramsey told 610 WTVN's Joel Riley in an exclusive interview.
He says at first he was worried about going up to the house because it was private property.
"If this dude had happened to roll down the street and see me doing this he had every right to blow my head off," Ramsey said.
The home belonged to his neighbor, Ariel Castro. Ramsey says he's been over the home before to drop off mail, barbecue, and listen to music. He said at no time did he ever suspect that there were women being held captive inside.
"We have no beef with him, you know what I mean, because he's a neighbor that keeps to himself - well for obvious reasons," Ramsey said.
He doesn't see himself as a hero and says he just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
"I just want to kiss them all. I have a daughter and I just hope someone would do the same for mine," he said.
Ramsey has been dealing with hundreds of requests for interviews, something he had never done prior to Monday evening.

Im the actual battle bang world champ
When did you beat Paul Johno then?
i made my pro debut at 17. think it depends on the level of fighter n how much experience they have or what level guys are they are training with
www.twitter.com/ChrisFishgold Pro 10-0-0 www.facebook.com/chrisfishgoldmma
In other countries being 18 isn't a problem when it comes to age. In Thailand for example there is people who by the time they have turned 18 they have had close to 100 pro fights.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Child fucking aside, In Thailand, and other countries, they let a person fight pro on whether or not they think they ready. As providing earlier there is a number of class MMA guys who have turned pro at a young age only t go on to have great careers. Another example of someone who turned pro early is Thiago Alves who started fighting pro in Muay thai at 15, 17 for MMA.
The ppoint i am making is that if someone is good enough to fight in a professional level then good on them. There is very few who could do it and i'm not saying that all under 18's should fight pro (as i stated earlier) but IMO sport should be based on skill not age.
If people were not allowed to compete at pro based on age then we may not have got some of the huge stars we have today in other sports.

this is all pointless. 'Pro' means nothing. It is not a measure of ones ability just a reference to a rule set. I regularly referee Unified Amateur fighters who would destroy their pro counterparts who fight later on in the night.
There is no baseline for who qualifies as a pro fighter and as such anyone can be matched evenly at pro level with a lad of similar ability

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Any red-blooded single young man who spends more than a semester in or near Tempe knows that there's plentiful eye candy to be found as you're strolling the aisles of the Broadway Safeway, the closest grocery store to the campus of Arizona State University. Short of the bar scene or wandering the campus itself, this place is your best bet for scoping those cute yellow gym shorts that say "Go Devils!" on the butt. Keep your camera phones on the down-low, though, as this Safeway's been a meet market for so long it's likely the ladies know you're looking.
And speaking of the ladies, you gals should know that we often see a significant hunk of the Tempe Fire Department roaming the aisles at this Safeway as well.
It may look like your typical hole-in-the-mall diamonoid shop from the outside -- and even on the inside, if you only spend a couple minutes browsing the pricey engagement rings and watches in the display boxes. But loiter around the subdued Capri Jewelers for a while, and you'll see a clientele you usually don't expect in a mall jewelry store. "Aw, this is that place!" whispers a young black guy in an Atlanta Falcons jersey, pulling his three male buddies into the store and sitting down, awestruck, in front of a case showing custom-made colored-diamond pendants, rose gold rings and diamond dog tags.
The celebrity photos on the wall tell you immediately you're not at Jared's anymore: Satisfied bling-buyers, posing with the owner and saleswomen, include LL Cool J, Knoc-Turn'al, Ginuwine, Shaquille O'Neal and Junior Spivey, who reportedly paid a handsome fee to have his own likeness reproduced in 3-D on an exquisite white- and black-gold pendant. Here, diamonds aren't just a girl's best friend; Terrell Suggs and Joe Budden are cozying up on the rocks, too.

These days anyone who can deconstruct a tee shirt and sew it back together feels the need to label himself or herself a "designer." While it's nice to see the local fashion scene grow, it can be frustrating to weed through the plethora of faux designers to find quality. Luckily, Mary Jane at Kontrive, a funky boutique in downtown Tempe, is around to help us on our quest for real fashion. M.J. features an eclectic mix of vintage furniture as well as accessories and clothing, highlighting the best that local fashion has to offer. The shop's buyers hand-pick work by Valley designers, and they've found an exciting mix -- from the expected regulars like Angela Johnson and T-roy to up-and-coming talent like Lauren Orciuolo.
Now that's what we call dressing for success!
Who would have thought that pineapple cilantro would be a best-selling candle scent? Or that some folks would rather light up a chardonnay than sip one?
No matter what end you like to burn the candle on, this is the place for you. Illuminations' line of signature candles includes everything from the traditional (cherry, vanilla, sandalwood) to the obscure (bamboo, lemongrass cilantro, mandarin cassis), and you can get your candle in just about any fashion: votive candles, floating candles, jar candles, pillar candles, tapered candles. You can even get a "Shadowbox Mirror," if you prefer to fix your hair by candlelight.
You glow, girl! (And guy.)
Sure, it might be cool these days to get your vicarious vid-screen thrills as a gun-toting hit man or car thief, but sometimes old-school gamers long for a simpler time when all you needed was the Konami Code to advance to the next level. So the plentiful stacks of classic titles for sale or trade at Games Plus are like a warp zone to yesteryear, with cartridges ranging from the gaming Stone Age (Atari 2600) up to the more recently outdated systems (Nintendo 64) and everything in between. The latest shrink-wrapped XBox, PS2 and GameCube discs are available, too, along with more new and used accessories than you can shake a SuperScope at. Owner Renny Mitchell and company have been in the biz for more than 27 years, long before any other used game shop pressed start, and it shows. The joystick jockeys behind the counter will even chat with customers about the latest online RPGs or -- more important to watchful parents -- refuse to sell restricted titles to the underage moppets who frequent the store. Thank goodness for the electronic baby sitter, giver of such pearls of wisdom as, "Shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was bad."
Forget Hollywood Video and Blockbuster. And while you're at it, forget every rinky-dink indie video store in the Valley. The largest, most eclectic collection of videos is at Burton Barr Central Library, where you can rent everything from Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd and Robert Bresson's L'Argent to Luis Bu--uel's The Exterminating Angel and the complete PBS series of Brideshead Revisited. Want to watch a collection of silent Fatty Arbuckle shorts? Burton Barr's got it. Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man? It's got that, too. Like most library video collections, Burton Barr can boast its share of documentaries and educational videos. If you need a VHS bio of Hermann Goering or a course on how to pick a bottle of wine, it's still the place to hit. But what's surprising is the library's superior collection of foreign and art-house films, as well as classic Hollywood movies. Better than any video rental place in Maricopa County, and the price is right: i.e., it's free, bubba. All you need is a library card and a smile.

LONG BEACH — A joint venture team is the "best value" bidder with a $649.5 million proposal for the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project design-build contract, Long Beach Port and Caltrans officials said Friday.
Major members of the joint venture team include Shimmick Construction Company Inc., FCC Construction S.A., Impregilo S.p.A., Arup North America Ltd. and Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc.
Port staff expects to submit a recommendation on May 14 to the port's Board of Harbor Commissioners to consider a "notice of intent" to award the contract.
However, a decision by the board on the actual award of the contract is expected in late June, with construction to kick off in early 2013, and final design starting soon after the contract is signed, according to port spokesman John Pope.
The total cost of the overall bridge replacement project is estimated at about $1 billion, including site preparation, demolition and other considerations, port officials said.
"This is a vital project for improving traffic flow for the nation's busiest port complex and downtown Long Beach commuters," said Doug Thiessen, the port's managing director of engineering, in a prepared statement. "It was critical that this contract deliver the best bridge at the most competitive price.
"We're pleased that the world-class design-build team headed by Shimmick, FCC and Impregilo has met or exceeded all our technical requirements while also submitting a proposal with the lowest cost."
Shimmick has decades of experience handling the hazardous issues inherent in bridge work, including working over and in water, with limited space, non-stop traffic and at great heights. The merits of its work has been reflected by its award-winning projects like San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge Seismic Retrofit, port officials said.
FCC, Inc. is a full service construction company specializing in conventional construction and pre-engineered metal buildings.
Impregilo, based in Milan, Italy, is dedicated to infrastructure, engineering and concessions. It carries out activities in the construction of railroads, hydro plants and highways, as well as waste and water treatment.
Arup North America Limited, a San Francisco-based company, offers construction and engineering services, including bridge and building design.
Based in San Jose, Biggs Cardosa Associates has experience in the structural integrity of buildings and bridges throughout Northern California.
The project selection team - led by Caltrans, the port and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) - formally opened the financial proposals on Friday, following a rigorous evaluation of the technical proposals from three firms that had been pre-qualified to bid on the contract.
The technical proposals accounted for 20 percent of the score; the cost accounted for 80 percent.
The bridge replacement - designed to ease traffic congestion and improve safety - is being jointly procured by the port and Caltrans.
The port, Caltrans, Metro and the U.S. Department of Transportation are all contributing funds to the project.
The Gerald Desmond Bridge is a vital link in the nation's trade system and a major commuter corridor. But the bridge, built in the 1960 s, wasn't designed to handle today's traffic volumes and is deteriorating. The replacement project will ensure the safety of commuters and truck drivers and protect Southern California's important role as a major trading hub.
Construction is expected to last five years and generate, on average, 4,000 jobs per year, according to port officials.

I bought these irons about a year and a half ago and have not regretted it a day. They feel great and hit true. They have a nice look and set up real comfortably. I'm not going to trade these in for a while.
Good quality irons, look good at set-up, ball feels nice coming off the face.
Great clubs for the price!
Good clubs for the money, stronger lofts and a little longer than standard shafts give you extra distance. Only drawbacks for me are the looks of the back of the clubs, which are too gimicky to me, and the original grips that come on the clubs, which will hurt your fingers. You'll have to change those grips.

Pilonidal dimplePilonidal abscess; Pilonidal sinus; Pilonidal cyst; Pilonidal disease
Pilonidal dimple is a condition that can occur anywhere along the crease between the buttocks, which runs from the bone at the bottom of the spine (sacrum) to the anus.
Pilonidal dimple may appear as:
- A pilonidal abscess, in which the hair follicle becomes infected and pus collects in the fat tissue
- A pilonidal cyst, in which a cyst or hole forms if there has been an abscess for a long time
- A pilonidal sinus, in which a tract grows under the skin or deeper from the hair follicle
- A small pit or pore in the skin that contains dark spots or hair
Symptoms may include:
- Pus may drain to a small pit in the skin
- Tenderness over the area after you are active or sit for a period of time
- Warm, tender, swollen area near the tailbone
- Fever (rare)
There may be no symptoms other than a small dent (pit) in the skin in the crease between the buttocks.
The cause of pilonidal disease is not clear. It is thought to be caused by hair growing into the skin in the crease between the buttocks.
This problem is more likely to occur in people who:
- Are obese
- Experienced trauma or irritation in the area
- Have excess body hair
- Sit for long periods of time
- Wear tight clothing
Home Care
It may help to keep the area clean and dry and remove hair regularly to prevent infection.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you notice any of the following around the pilonidal cyst:
- Drainage of pus
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
You will be asked for your medical history and given a physical examination. Sometimes you may be asked for the following information:
- Has there been any change in the appearance of the pilonidal cyst?
- Has there been any drainage from the area?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
Rarely, a CT scan is done.
Pilonidal disease that causes no symptoms does not need to be treated.
A pilonidal abscess may be opened, drained, and packed with gauze. Antibiotics may be used if there is an infection spreading in the skin or you also have another, more severe illness.
Other surgeries that may be needed include:
- Removal (excision) of the diseased area
- Skin grafts
- Surgery to remove an abscess that returns

Another proof of how the spirit of ritualism tends to absorb morality.
He was also an earnest religious man, and strongly opposed to ritualism.
She had addressed drawing-room meetings, she had aided in many a crusade against Popery and ritualism and other evil things.
Both hated ritualism; and both worshipped the Man in the Street.
Whilst the Churches addicted to ritualism and literalism decline, the Brotherhood movement gains in force and influence.
On the other hand, the priests have cast their system in the mould of ritualism.
He rejected the superstitions of his country, and looked upon the ritualism of religion as a mere fashion.
But his work as poet and painter prepared the world for ritualism in literature.
No church in the country has less of ritualism in it than St. Paul's.
In regard to the worship of God, Calvin was opposed to splendid churches, and to all ritualism.

I recently bought an Asus eee pc 1015PEB with the purpose of dual booting the windows 7 starter and backtrack 4 r2 operating systems on it. The purpose of this thread is to add helpful troubleshooting tips I encountered along the way that were not covered in the straightforeward directions found on the new backtrack wiki. The route I took to complete the process inolves using the installation tutorials from the backtrack wiki guides for installing backtrack 4 r2 on a usb drive using unetbootin and installing backtrack 4 r2 as a dual boot option alongside windows 7. These guides can be found here:
UNetbootin USB Installer
Dual Boot BackTrack and Windows 7
After following the first guide to create a bootable USB version of bt 4 r2, it is quite natural to encounter some issues that need to be resolved in order for the computer to detect and boot from the USB instead of the hard drive as it has been accustomed to. If this is the case, here are some avenues to pursue to alleviate your problem.
**After each troubleshooting step performed to get the USB to boot bt4 r2, cycle the USB drive through each one of your computer's USB ports as an additional troubleshooting step**
Change the boot device priority and the disk drive sequence by accessing the BIOS when your computer starts up. For my computer, this was more difficult than it should be. Initially, my computer was not displaying a BIOS Post screen or OEM screen before it hastily booted up windows 7. Pressing any of the typical keys (esc, del, F1-F9) brought me to a "Windows Boot Manager" screen that does not help this situation any.
To access the BIOS, I tapped the F2 button quickly before the little white blinking line appeared in the top left of the screen to get the BIOS Post screen to appear, then press F2 again during this screen to take you to the BIOS Setup Utility. Here we need to look at two things: The Boot Devices Priority and the Hard Disk Drives, both of which can be found in the Boot Settings menu which is the tab titled "Boot" at the top of the screen.
Go in to the boot Device Priority menu and set Removable Dev. as the 1st Boot Device.
Go into the Hard Disk Drives menu and set USB: USB Reader as the 1st Drive.
Save these changes and get out of the BIOS Setup Utility. Restart your computer.
Another issue you may run into is that your ISO is corrupt. You can check this by verifying the md5 sum. For this tip there is a useful thread that can be found here including a link to download the free HashCalc tool:
How to find out if your iso is or isn't corrupt by md5 checking
With the right boot device sequence, right drive sequence, a healthy iso extracted onto a USB drive, and a working USB port, I had successfully arrived at the bt4 r2 screen and was ready to move onto the next step.
**Moving on from the UNetbootin USB Installer wiki guide to the Dual Boot BackTrack and Windows 7 wiki guide**
The first step in the dual boot guide involves opening the KDE graphical interface by using the commandFor me, this brought me to a new problem. The output after I typed in "startx" read:Code:startx
Fatal server error: no screens found
By digging a little bit in these forums, I found the solution to type the commandbefore typing "startx" to successfully load the KDE graphical interface.Code:fixvesa
Once I got to step four in the wiki, I found that when I arrived at the "Prepare disk space" screen of the installer, I did not have the guided resize option; only the guided use full disk and manual options were available to me. This is because out of the box, the 250 gig hard drive on my eee pc was already divided into four partitions. To solve this issue, I deleted a 117 gig NTSD partition that was not being used at all, resized the NTSD partition windows 7 was on to take up the unallocated space created by the deletion and was able to proceed with step four with the guided resize option now available. Here are the steps I used to do this:
1. Download the safe and free program Easeus Partition Master Home Edition from download.com which can be found here:
Easeus Partition Master Home Edition
**After each step selected using this program, it recommends you hit the "Apply" button in the left hand portion of the screen; this will apply the changes to your hard drive one at a time, as you select them to happen**
2. Open the program, delete the unused NTSD partition (was the 3rd partition on my computer).
3. Move the 15 gig FAT32 partition (was the 2nd partition on my computer) to the right end of the disk, next to the fourth partition.
4. Resize the NTSD partition (was the 1st partition on my computer) with windows 7 on it to engulf the unallocated space on the disk between it and the FAT32 partition.
5. It is recommended that you defragment your partition with windows 7 on it before splitting it with bt 4 r2, to do this go to start > control panel > system and security > defragment your hard drive (at the bottom under Administrative Tools)
After all the the partition cleaning up, revisit the BIOS Setup Utility and ensure that the boot device sequence and hard drive sequence are still as they are needed to boot from a USB drive.
Upon reaching this point, I was able to complete the final steps of the dual boot and have successfully completed the installation.
**Aftermath - At this point I started navigating through my OS options and ensuring that everything is functional**
The first thing I noticed is that along with the 3 versions of backtrack listed to boot from the Grub there were two "Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)" options. I clicked on the first one and this initiated a check on my C: drive by windows. After it conducted its 3 stages of checks it restarted the computer, I selected it again and it started windows 7 fine. I restarted the computer and selected the second of the two Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) options and found this to allow me to restore the entire drive back to the factory reset. Lastly, I selected the first bt 4 r2 option on the list, logged in as root and it started up fine as well.

Event Details
"Hip-Hop: Race, Politics and Hyper-Masculinity" will explore deeper conversations of homo-eroticism, violence, objectivity of women and racial indifference throughout the hip hop community.
The cultural relevance to hip-hop is something that usually comes with a negative connotation. Through our event we hope to raise awareness not only to the musical context but to the community as a whole.
The panel will consist of educators, musicians, journalists and pop culture aficionados including Anthony Gaskins, Jozen Cummings, LastO, Mic Sean, Jen Johnson, Brad Wete, Roy Paul, and Sowmaya Krishanamurthy. They will engage in a stimulating conversation with our moderator - Eugene Lang Graduate, Brandice Taylor. Throughout the discussion there will be breaks for a question and answers.
Ideally, our plan is to reach out to all divisions of The New School, even at the graduate level to encourage them to not only participate in this lively event but to also come and mingle with fellow University students that love Hip-Hop.
Light food and beverages will be served beginning at 5PM.

There are some women out there who had issues with certain behavioral issues. After 22 months of marriage Josh's wife filed for divorce. Considering they just had a child not that long ago and his wife had cervical cancer this would seem to be something that Josh precipitated. An affair? Loved different sports teams? Like I said above there are definitely reasons that Josh didn't get married until he was 40.

Mike Will wants to use Jay Z's 'Beach Is Better' on album
Listen to Mike Will Made It on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
Mike Will Made It is turning to Jay Z to help take his upcoming album Est. In 1989 Part 3 to another level.
In an interview with MTV News, Mike Will says he plans to sit down with Jay to ask whether he can use the full, three-minute-long version of Jay Z's track "Beach Is Better" for Est. In 1989 Part 3.
A shortened, 55-second version of the song - which was produced by Mike Will - appears on Jay's recent album Magna Carta Holy Grail. Even if he doesn't get Hova's permission to use the track, Mike says the album has some "special things" on it.
He also revealed that he's already linked up with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, T.I., Big K.R.I.T., and Future for possible collaborations on the album. "Est. in 1989 Part 3" is slated to arrive later this year.
The lead single for Est. In 1989 Part 3 hit airwaves last month. Titled "23," the track features Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and Miley Cyrus.
