I notice that the latest trend is not to include the 'I like boobies' options in polls. Can this please be corrected. Make sure this is an option as I find it hard to vote otherwise. I know this has been mentioned before

Health Care Reform Includes Historic Investment in Prevention Services
Mar 24, 2010
Download a detailed summary of the home visiting Provisions in the Health Care Reform legislation
The historic health care reform legislation that President Obama recently signed included $1.5 billion over five years for a home visiting program that provides services such as parent education, health screenings for children and other critical supports for vulnerable families.
This $1.5 billion investment is mandatory funding that will significantly expand home visitation services, helping to ensure that more children have the opportunity to grow up healthy, safe, ready to learn, and to become productive adults.
Home visiting is a voluntary program. It provides direct services such as parent education and screenings and assessments for children. In addition, the program serves as a link between families and other community services.
The program will provide grants to states, tribes and other eligible entities to deliver a range of services to families. The goal is to promote better prenatal and maternal health, infant health, and child health and development. In addition, the program works to enhance parenting skills to improve child development and school readiness, and it provides services to improve families' socioeconomic status and reduce child abuse and neglect.
Grantees can select an array of models that, based on research, have demonstrated positive outcomes for participants.

Residents of Georgetown in shock after fire destroys much of downtown
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The fire today has been devastating for those who live and work in Georgetown. Many people spent part of their day watching as firefighters put out the fire.
Reed Hammond has lived in Georgetown since 1971, "this is devastating for everybody."
Hammond says he eats at what was The Buzzard's Roost just about every day. Today that restaurant burned to the ground. "All these buildings are so old, the wood is probably fat lighter. Once it started, poof it all went."
As soon as he heard about the fire, he came, like many others, to Front street to do what he could. Because I care about the city. I mean, I have a lot of friends around here. I care about them. The man that owns one place, I went and checked on his boat."
Sara Knutson has been in Georgetown 13 years. "It's crazy. I'm not used to seeing stuff like this."
She says the fire, and knowing what it destroyed, has been very difficult, "I cried a lot, because I've been in all these buildings. And it's just not the same with them burned down, people out of jobs, especially people that you know."
And though only buildings were destroyed, Brad Freeman says a piece of Georgetown went with them. "The fact that we've lost so much history… I mean these buildings are irreplaceable. Regardless of how much money they may get from an insurance company. You can't replace the history and the stories behind all those buildings."

WATCH: Jimmy Fallon Trims Jared Leto's Beard
Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars Radio on iHeartRadio
Jared Leto has been having a pretty good year, what with winning an Academy Award and hitting the road for another big tour with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars. But on Wednesday's "Tonight Show," Jimmy Fallon suggested one way he could make things even better.
Jimmy conveniently had a beard trimmer behind his desk, so he helped clean Jared up a bit himself. Leto said he was a little nervous since he had been working on the beard since he won his Oscar back in March, but he seemed pretty happy with the end result. The extra hair, however, did come in handy earlier in the episode when Leto and Fallon played mountain gurus facing off in an "Intense Staredown" and sharing nonsensical pearls of wisdom.
A slightly less hairy Leto returned near the end of the episode to perform "End of All Days" with Thirty Seconds to Mars. The group is set to play Buffalo, New York on Thursday, and Montreal and Toronto this weekend as they continue their Carnivores Tour with Linkin Park.
Check out Jimmy trimming Jared's beard below!

Bill's tireless passion for winemaking and all things Monterey led to Monterey's designation as a American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1984, literally putting Monterey on the winemaking map.
Today, Jekel is known for crafting exquisitely distinctive varietals from Riesling and Chardonnay to Cabernet and Pinot Noir. View all Jekel Vineyards Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Oh yes, thats right.........there is now an issue. This is a huge hit to the event. Hopefully something works out to make this the full blow event it should be.
and yes, I know, Quiksilver.
I saw this on the NYNJ Forum. This is gonna bring alot of buisness to Longbeach and the city or offical wanting to cancel this is out of his mind
If you wanna voice you opinoin please I urge you to do so by either contacting that Longbeach city manager
@ Charles Theophan: 516 431-1001 firstname.lastname@example.com
in the Longbeach Facebook page
The voice of the people has to be heard and this event must go on !
Quicksilver Pro -Ny is back on public out cry actually works!
they are doing an absolutely terrible job with this. from here: http://www.aspworldtour.com/2011/08/...om-long-beach/
they have a ONE DAY window to hold trials for the final contest additions. that is ABSURD! what if it's 1ft onshore nothing? are they going to flip a coin?? some of the best surfers in the world competing to be on a world tour event in no surf. bad job #1.
cancelling all of the events around the contest - concerts, skatepark, etc? what is the reason? not enough $? isn't quicksilver paying for this?
one day for the trials is typical...what do they care they're just the trialists :p
They had to tear down a lot of the stuff for the festivities in preparation for Irene. They don't have the time or resources to rebuild for the event. The city's resources have been diverted to the Irene aftermath (restoration/clean-up).
yeah, but, it's not like we're in cali or hawaii where there is a contestable wave more often than not. we just had 3 months of FLATNESS!
They city cant justify doing eveything that needs to be done ot set up an event with stages ramps etc while some people are still without power and a place to live. Quiksilver will surely move concerts and such to NY city and work out some sort of commuter service for ASAP surfers to be at promos shows etc in the city. I just hope they get great south swell form Kiata and the peaks are firing. The back up venue cant happen, you cant physically get down to Rodanthe anymore Highway 12 got washed away.

Tim Lambesis' Jail Time Reduction Request Denied
Listen to As I Lay Dying Radio on iHeartRadio
Convicted rocker Tim Lambesis will apparently be serving his full six-year prison sentence.
The former As I Lay Dying frontman was in a San Diego courtroom on Friday to ask for credit for the time he spent under house arrest following his attempt to hire a hitman to kill his estranged wife last year.
But the judge ruled that the electronic surveillance was not a condition of Lambesis' bail, so he technically wasn't under house arrest. Lambesis pleaded guilty to solicitation of murder back in February, and was sentenced in May.

MIT and Stanford Scientists join Salk Institute's Non-Resident Fellows
Two highly accomplished researchers from the stem cell and genomics fields are the newest members of Salk's Non-Resident Fellows, a distinguished group of scientists that help benchmark and guide Salk faculty and scientific programs.
Eric S. Lander, founding director of The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Irving L. Weissman, M.D., director of the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, joined the Salk faculty in November.
Recently named by President Barack Obama to co-chair the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Dr. Lander and his team have developed many of the key tools and information resources of modern mammalian genomics, and have applied these tools and data to pioneer novel approaches to understand the molecular basis of disease.
Dr. Weissman directs Stanford's National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, and is the Virginia & D.K. Ludwig Professor for Clinical Investigation in Cancer Research. In 1988, he became the first to isolate stem cells of any kind when he isolated hematopoietic or blood-forming stem cells from mice. He subsequently isolated human hematopoietic stem cells, human neuronal stem cells, and human leukemia stem cells. His work has opened up MIT and Stanford Scientists join Salk Institute's Non-Resident Fellows New Faces 26 Inside Salk April 2010 www.salk.edu Dr. Irving L. Weissman Dr. Eric S.

Who wants your money? If you are unfamiliar with the charity, get its full name, address, and telephone number. Many organizations have names that are very similar to well known charities. Ask whether the organization is listed as a tax exempt public charity by the IRS and if your donation will be tax deductible.
Ask whether the person soliciting the money is a paid solicitor. Under Alaska law, a paid solicitor is required to disclose that they are paid to make the call and who they work for before asking for a donation.
How Does the Organization Use Donated Funds? Dramatic, heart-rending descriptions of need may get your attention, but you should know more before you give. Find out the substance of the appeal and the planned use of your money.
Before making a donation, request printed information about the charity's programs and finances. How many of your dollars will go to helping people and providing services? Your charity should be able to provide you with an annual report and financial documents that describe how donations are spent.
How much do they spend on paid fundraisers and administrative expenses? Paid fundraisers are professional fundraisers who generally keep a percentage of the money they collect on behalf of the charity. Sometimes this can be a high percentage. This means more of your dollars goes to paying their costs, not helping people or providing services.
To file a consumer complaint with the Alaska Attorney General's Office regarding violations of Alaska's charitable solicitation laws or unfair or deceptive acts or practices relating to a charitable solicitation, you may download a complaint form, or request a consumer packet from the Office of the Attorney General and return the complaint form to the following address:

My Participation in the Girl Scouts' National Ad Campaign: An Amazing Experience
By Regan Sims, Ambassador Girl Scout from Troop 3054
When I joined the Girl Scouts of Greater New York seven years ago I knew I was going to have a great time with my fellow Girl Scouts; what I didn't expect back then was that my participation in this wonderful organization would open up such fantastic opportunities to me. The most recent opportunity was my participation in the Girl Scouts' newest marketing effort: I am currently featured in several commercials for the new Cookie Campaign.
The experience on the set of the commercial was incredible – and everything I had hoped it would be. Six girls were scheduled to do the shoot that day, and by the time the director got to my part of the commercial I was a little nervous (I assume anyone would be if a huge camera was suddenly pointed at them), but also completely ready for it. I guess it was partly due to the crew: they were very nice and patient with us and made us feel comfortable and excited to be a part of the shoot. The director was great to work with, too. Between him and the crew my job was even easier and more fun than I had expected it to be!
The shoot took about two days, but it was not just the time we spent on the set: the whole process of creating the new cookie box and campaign was extraordinary. I traveled to different offices and met with a lot of people who were working on the campaign, discussing what should be on the new cookie boxes. I talked with many girls about the things we do these days: not just cookie selling and camping, but environmental projects, public speaking, and kayaking, for example. The marketing research process took a long time, but it was completely worth it because I got to learn many new things – for example, how to discuss and share new and innovative ideas and how to present myself as a professional.
Participating in this process of putting the PSA together was exciting and empowering, because you get to see how many people are involved with and support Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all over the world. It was wonderful to see so many people completely dedicated to getting the Girl Scouts' main message across: that it isn't just about the cookies we sell, but about the leadership skills we obtain while selling them.
I was honored to be part of this message because it's absolutely true. At Girl Scouts, we develop a lifetime supply of skills that will help us every day of our lives. The most important one I learned from being a Girl Scout and from participating in the PSA production is people skills. This is very important for me because I want to be a professional actress when I grow up and I know that obtaining good people skills is key in this profession. You have to know how to talk to people and how to use feedback and criticism to improve yourself.
A main message of the Girl Scouts is that you should make yourself into the best person you can be, and at this point in my life I am really beginning to see how this applies to so many things that I do. It helps me to push myself and to take leadership roles and encourage my friends to step out and be leaders themselves.
Another lesson I take away from Girl Scouts is the importance of reaching out to my community. I've worked on many projects that aimed at raising awareness and at educating my community about the world around us. My Silver Award project focused on raising awareness about the tragedy of the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2011. I organized seminars and talked about how people could help to support children that had been devastated by the disaster. I organized a meeting for people to come in and make bracelets for the children that needed encouragement; on the bracelets were phrases that gave them hope. This project gave me a chance to learn how to do research and how to organize and plan things on my own.
I am proud to say that I am a Girl Scout, and I am glad I decided to become one because it gives me hope for my future. I know that many of the top businesswomen in this country were once Girl Scouts and that reassures me that my generation, too, can rise to the top and to make a difference in this world. I want to encourage all the girls my age and say – girls rule!!!

State warns about fake public aid websites
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 11:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 11:06 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida's Department of Children and Families is warning about fake websites that offer to help people apply for public assistance.
The state agency said Friday that it had gotten several reports this week regarding websites that ask for financial and personal information.
DCF officials said there was only one website authorized to accept applications for Medicaid, food stamps or welfare, and it is run by the state. The web address is http://www.myflorida.com/accessflorida .
DCF Secretary David Wilkins cautioned public assistance applicants to safeguard their personal data just like they would bank or financial information.
The department also cautioned about mobile phone applications that request confidential information from people who have electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards. DCF officials said such phone applications could open the door to potential fraud.

The guy Sean beat had a 4-9 MMA record when they fought. Now 4-12.
Thanks for that contender link. I train with Trevor Smandych here in Calgary. He's a great guy and excellent trainer. Runs a really good Muay Thai fight promotion as well - Journey Fight Series. Gets big crowds and is shown on Fight Network.
Regardless of opinion on the leg break situation I hope Sean wright comes back with a vengeance in mma and shows off his undoubted stand up skills in the near future.
Fuck no-gi
i do a right good impression of the posh cunt.
I was in the corner for the fight, the noise was fucking horrendous, pretty sure the kick hit the guys knee.
First thing i said to him in the cage was, 'you ok man?' His reply, 'yeah, i've been better....' was funny at the time.
@TheHat pretty sure that was Sean's first fight in MMA, as you can imagine we had a nightmare getting him his first fight and we were grateful of anyone taking the fight.
Regardless of his thai background,he's still essentially a novice Pro MMA fighter and should be matched as such.

19th-Century British Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada
Ottawa - February 7, 2011
A rare pictorial glimpse of a remarkable period in history
Photography was born in 1839, making the 19th century the first to be recorded in this medium. Since then, photography has evolved dramatically from the original chemical processes to today's digital technology. But its transformation during its first decades was an equally important transition. Until April 17, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) presents 19th-Century British Photographs from the NGC, a fascinating exhibition of some of the national collection's key holdings, including some that have rarely been shown. The exhibition traces the development of photography in Britain over the course of the Victorian era, from early, salted paper prints, to daguerreotypes, to magnificent turn-of-the-century platinum prints.
From the portraits of family and friends, small, familiar and domestic scenes, to grand and exotic scenes, the photographs in 19th-Century British Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada present a great range of subjects. Viewers will see images of a rapidly changing society: old courtyards and buildings, urban landscapes and village scenes that record daily life in Victoria's Britain. In all, more than 100 photographs, many taken by the most celebrated photographers of the time, such as William Henry Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Frederick Evans, chosen among more than 2,000 images in the NGC's 19th-century British photographs collection. This is an outstanding collection, which began to take shape in 1967, and which comprises some of the most important 19th-century British photographs in existence.
"The Gallery has a superb collection of British photographs,'' said NGC Director Marc Mayer. "We owe its success in no small part to the passion and generosity of our donors who helped us build it for Canada.''
Who were the British photographers of the 19th-century…
What began as a series of experiments conducted by men of science quickly turned into a leisure activity for wealthy upper-class men and women. Rapid changes in photographic technology coupled with an insatiable public desire for images meant that not long after its invention photography, as a source of employment or pleasure was available to the middle and, in some cases, even the working classes. Census records show that several of the photographers whose work is now part of the NGC's collection began their professional lives as opticians, lens makers, chemists, or merchants.
…and what were their interests?
19th-Century British Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada also reveals some of the major preoccupations of the period, subjects that were of interest to photographers of the Victorian era along with the tastes, biases and prejudices of their time and place. Contemporary issues such as the need for reshaping the urban environment, the plight of the poor, and debates about social reform along with an unquestioning optimism about Britain's continuing imperial power are implicit in many of the photographic images from this era. The photographs are evidence of their makers' fascination with the natural world, their need to understand how things work and their drive to codify and to document.
19th-Century British Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada is the third instalment in a series of exhibitions that showcase the depth and variety of the national collection of photographs. Modernist Photographs appeared in 2007 and
19th-Century French Photographs in 2009. The latter is currently on view at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until March 20.
On Thursday, March 3 at 6 pm, the public is invited to hear Larry Schaaf internationally respected photo historian, Baltimore, Maryland, as he gives a lecture entitled "I have captured a Shadow!" William Henry Fox Talbot and the Invention of Photography. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition. In the Lecture Hall.
Cost: adults $5, seniors and students $4, members $3.

With an introduction by the exhibition curator Lori Pauli, and an essay by NGC Photographs Conservator, John McElhone, the catalogue documents the developments in photographic technologies in 19th-century Britain; from historically important paper negatives to platinum prints, works by Julia Margaret Cameron, William Henry Fox Talbot, Frederick Evans, Roger Fenton, and Henry Peach Robinson, among others, are beautifully illustrated and examined. The catalogues also comprises texts by Ann Thomas, Jim Borcoman, Larry Schaaf, Roger Taylor, and David Harris. The 176-page soft cover volume is on sale at the NGC Bookstore for $49 and at www.ShopNGC.ca, the Gallery's online boutique.

DVDs on right choice market available for free
Margaret Lamb; firstname.lastname@example.com;803-777-5400
Free DVDs of "Planting Healthy Roots," a documentary film about the creation of the Right Choice, Fresh Start Farmers' Market in Orangeburg, are available.
The farmers' market is the first in South Carolina – and among the first in the country – to partner with a federally qualified health center, Family Health Centers Inc. The goal of the market, which opened in June 2011, is to increase access to, and consumption of, healthy foods for people in rural areas while also increasing economic opportunity for small-scale rural farmers in the state.
Dr. Darcy Freedman, a USC College of Social Work researcher who led the effort to create the market, and Dr. Heather Brandt, a researcher in the Arnold School of Public Health, teamed up with Media Arts Professor Laura Kissel and two student filmmakers, Trey Murphy and Tim Jacobs, to produce the film. They relied on personal stories, community profiles and interviews.
To receive a FREE DVD of the Planting Healthy Roots documentary film, go to Survey Monkey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QRKMGW2 to complete a brief survey.
For more information, contact Freedman at email@example.com or 803.777.1326 or Brandt at firstname.lastname@example.com or 803.777.4561.

gangs are criminals who branch out into graffiti
crews are vandals who branch out into crime
gangs are criminals who branch out into graffiti
crews are vandals who branch out into crime
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel ~ Piet Mondrian
Gang graffiti is written in a certain way.
the letters are very simmilar to Phillidelphia tag letters(prolly how Philly got so famous for its tags).
They cross out any letter that stands for a set they have beef with..
for example Bloods will write something and if their is a C in it they will cross out the C because the C stands for Crip.
it usually gives messages to police and other gangs.and celebrates or mourns the death of a gang member.
crossin out gang graffiti is a one-way ticket to hell.
I got a feeling that paintman doesnt even tag... He probalbly wants to be cool and make graffiti sound cool even though (im not bragging--im not a good tagger) he is a HUGE toy
Representin Orlando 407!! (pm me if you from the O)
The graf wars on in orlando.. Keepin ya updated with orlando graf news o.0
A) They are the same fucking things, the definition of gang is 3 or more people regularly participating in illegal activities.
B) WHY WOULD YOU DO YOUR REAPORT ON IT! is there any better way to say your a writer?
gang graffiti: complete and total bullshit....not to mention them wannabe thugs who choose gang names like lil' penis
graff crews; writers who band together to share creative skills, brotherhood, and unity
oh yeaaaaah!.....cool-aid
ya gang graffiti is quick shit used to mark territory, no skill, and not thought trhough enouf, kinda like a beat up fagoty stray dog takin a pisss on wall thinkin all the other dogs are gonna leave now(not gonna happen) but a graffiti crew, oh boy oh boy, thats talent, skill, and love for art expressed through doing a dope piece on wall, which old prude bitches, and cops call vandalizing, and a scar on modern society,
art isnt a fuckin crime! :angry:
gang graffiti is when black assholes break the law. Graffiti crews are groups of artists who break the law.
close.!!!!!!..you can tell when a thread needs to be closed when someone puts a racist comment in like that cunt
no reson to close, people get WAAAY to offended,
yeh, a big reason to close, everyone knows the difference between graff crews and gang graff..so why ask such a toy question when he can do a little research
forgive me i ment the rascisim is no reson to close, the fact that its a shitty thread means it should be closed
well then...your forgiven
wow.......lol this is a stupid thread....and what a retarded topic to write a paper on
gangs are fuckin pointless all they do is fight over turf and talk smack n their graffiti is jus retarded crap to mark turf with no artistic knowledge put into besides knowing how to write letters correctly(which some gangs mess that up too).....graff crew is about the art(puttin much effort into everything and years of learning) and actually having a point..

Okay, how many books have I talked about in the postscript - forty?
"Thirty, I think, Osho."
Thirty? Good. Such a relief, because so many books are still waiting. You could understand my relief only if you had to choose one book out of a thousand, and that's exactly what I am doing. The postscript continues.
The first book, Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness. First I must mention that I don't like the man. I don't like him because he is a snob. He is one of the most snobbish people of this century. I call him a snob because he has become the leader of Existentialism without knowing at all what it means to be existential. But the book is good - not for my disciples but for those who have gone a little bit nuts, just a little bit. It is unreadable.
If you are a little bit nuts it will bring you to your senses. It is a great work in that sense - medicinal. Devaraj, note it: medicinal. It should be prescribed in all mad asylums. Each madman should be forced to read it, study it. If it cannot bring you to sanity nothing can. But only to first-degree nuts, like philosophers, professors, mathematicians, scientists - but only the first degree, not those very advanced in madness.
The existentialism of which Jean-Paul Sartre is the representative is a mockery. Without ever knowing anything of meditation he talks about "being," and he talks about "nothingness." Alas, they are not two: being is nothingness; that is why Buddha has called being, anatta - no-self. Gautama the Buddha is the only man in history to call self "no-self." I love Buddha for a thousand and one reasons; this is only one of the reasons. The thousand I cannot count because of the shortage of time. Perhaps one day I may start talking about those one thousand reasons too..
But Jean-Paul Sartre I dislike - just dislike, not even hate, because hate is a strong word; I save it for the second book. Jean-Paul Sartre knows nothing of existence, but he has created a jargon, a philosophical jargon, intellectual gymnastics. And it really is gymnastics. If you can read ten pages of Being and Nothingness, either you will become sane or insane. But to read ten pages is a difficult task. When I was a professor I gave it to many of my students, but nobody ever completed it. Nobody could even read ten pages - one page was too much; in fact one paragraph itself was too much. You cannot make any head or tail of it. And there are a thousand pages or more. It is a big book.
I remember it in my postscript because though I dislike the man, I may dislike his philosophy.yes, I will call it philosophy, even though he wanted it to be called anti-philosophy. I cannot call it anti-philosophy for the simple reason that every anti-philosophy ultimately proves to be only another philosophy. Existence is neither philosophical nor anti-philosophical. It is.

St. Augustine Cemetery, a 6-acre site opened in the 1860s and nearly filled by the 1890s, sits in the heart of Bridgeport. Few neighbors today have any connection to those interred at the cemetery. Families have moved away, leaving many grave sites unattended for more than a century.
The Post's reports of drug dealing, trash dumping and neglect in St. Augustine struck a nerve. Ray Capo, who manages the cemetery for the Catholic diocese, said in a letter to the editor that caretakers couldn't keep up with vandals who repeatedly broke in.

★ It's Lord of the Flies on steroids! One strange day twelve people are murdered, all by relatives, friends, or neighbors—the most unlikely of suspects. None, including 18-year-old Cass who murdered the toddler she was babysitting, knows why. Soon after, a terrible tornado ravages the town and removes all semblances of law and order. Anarchy rules; far too many adults and role models revert to their base-est instincts. An unlikely band of teens reluctantly joins forces to plot escape: Jules, part of the meth-dealer Prevette clan; West, golden boy (but gay) football jock; sweet, unassuming Daniel; Ellie King, self-prescribed evangelist dubbed saint by the Deacon during the strange times; Cass; and Gracie, the sister of the murdered toddler. The Waking Dark is a horror story worthy of Stephen King. Wasserman's tightly woven plot arouses our darkest fears—a government (or private industry) experimenting on its citizens, contemporary witch hunts that remind us of our Puritan heritage, natural disasters that destroy basic infrastructure including communication systems. Her characters are anti-heroes, seeking to hold themselves in check, fearing that they, or anyone around them, can suddenly become the monster they are trying to escape. It's a violent, edgy, well-written, and foreboding novel, so realistic that readers can only hope it's simply fiction.- Booklist
★ Wasserman (The Book of Blood and Shadow) delivers an exceptional horror novel that will lead to inevitable (and deserved) Stephen King comparisons. In the isolated Kansas town of Oleander, five people suddenly go on murder sprees, with four of them committing suicide. A year later, five survivors are united when a storm (and later, soldiers) isolate the town: loner Daniel, closeted jock West, newly evangelical Ellie, outcast Jule, and Cassie—the one remaining murderer, who has no recollection of what she did or why. As the days pass, the five grow increasingly aware that everyone else in Oleander is starting to act strange. The characters' own conflicts—Jule's family deals meth, West's parents are homophobic, etc.—help fuel the tension until the insanity really takes over. While the plot isn't new (see either version of The Crazies), Wasserman juggles a huge cast, intense action, and some truly horrific moments with style and skill. The novel works just as well as mainstream horror as YA, and the ending is both effective and brutal. Ages 14–up. Agent: Barry Goldblatt, Barry Goldblatt Literary. (Sept.) – Publishers Weekly
★ This contemporary thriller opens on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in a small town in Kansas, when five people with no connection to one another inexplicably commit murders and then kill, or attempt to kill, themselves. This becomes known as "the killing day," and no one has an explanation for it. The dark story is told from the perspectives of five teenagers, each of whom suffers in a different way due to the crimes, but it's nearly a year before their linked lives truly converge. After a devastating tornado, the entire town is quarantined and the adults are descending into violent madness. The five teens seem to be the only ones who realize something terrible is happening; they struggle both to stay alive and unravel what's really going on and who is responsible. While the number of protagonists can be confusing at times, their alternating stories are all compelling. Great dialogue and intriguing subplots add to the action-packed story, which will have readers frantically flipping pages. Wasserman sustains a truly spooky mood throughout, and the suspense doesn't let up until the final pages.–Sunnie Lovelace, Wallingford Public Library, CT – School Library Journal

MS Word: Using a Spreadsheet Within a Document
On more than one occasion, I've found that within a document I've needed to present data that really should be set up in Excel.
Don't get me wrong, Word's tables are great, but when it comes to calculations and numeric data displays, Excel wins hands down.
Some might ask why I don't simply write the document within Excel so that the spreadsheet element is already there…
My reply would have to be "No way!" The word processing portion of my document will be much more polished and easier to assemble in Word.
No, I definitely want Excel capabilities inside Word, and not the other way around.
Fortunately, the ability to do just that is in Word. It's just a matter of knowing where to find it.
Take a look on the Insert tab of the Ribbon, Table button.
See it at the bottom?
Yep, that says "Excel Spreadsheet"
Choose it and you'll see this inserted into your document at the current location of the cursor.
Instantly, you have everything right here inside of Word that you need to get the data presentation you want.
The Ribbon flipped over to the Excel Ribbon, you have scroll bars to move through the spreadsheet and even tabs for multiple sheets (granted only one would display at a time but you could hide information in the bottom one that's used to create your display in the top one).
Changing the size of the displayed portion of your worksheet is as easy as dragging the handles located around it when the spreadsheet is active.
When you're done and ready to return to Word, simply click outside of the spreadsheet.
Whatever you had displayed when you clicked out of the spreadsheet it what you'll see so be sure to re-size and have Excel object showing exactly the information you need to display.
Need to edit the spreadsheet?
No problem. Double-click on the spreadsheet and it will open again giving you full access to edit as though you were using Excel instead of Word.
The data power of Excel is available to you without ever leaving Word… very nice!

Breaking the Bread
I'd like to send you a free subscription to the St. Paul Center's monthly publication Breaking the Bread. ~ Dr. Scott Hahn
In every issue of Breaking the Bread you'll get short Bible studies on the readings for each of that month's Sunday Masses. These studies are aimed at helping you better understand the story of salvation as it comes to us in the Old and New Testament readings.
Priests are using our "Biblical Reflections on the Sunday Mass Readings" to help prepare their homilies. RCIA groups are using them in their Sunday studies of the Word. And ordinary lay people have made them part of their prayer and preparation for Mass. Some pastors are even handing out our reflections to every family in their parish or school.
Each issue also features an original meditation by our founder, Dr. Scott Hahn, along with updates on our work, highlights of upcoming events, and advance information on new Center publications and programs.

Features To Look For:
The International Style was the most severe of the modern styles. Although pioneered by European architects shortly after World War I, Americans did not accept the style until the mid 1930s. The Bauhaus, a German design and architecture school, had great influence over the development of the style. There are not many examples of International Style buildings in Indiana. This style was used primarily for high-rise office or apartment buildings, and seldom for homes.
International Style designers completely rejected the architecture of previous eras as a basis for design, turning instead toward a completely modern approach for buildings. Decoration or ornament in the traditional sense was also rejected. Architects treated walls as flat, plane-like surfaces with no decorative treatment, placing windows flush to the exterior. Large windows emphasized the non-traditional look of International Style buildings. Most Indiana examples of this style were built between 1930 and 1950.

I met some bagladeshi 'drug king pin' here in East London and that guy had some nightmare stories. He named a number of shops (mainly food or milkshake outlets owned by young guys) which he claimed were simple laundering operations that had torture rooms in the basement. I don't think he ws kidding - he said that boiling water and iron thing was standard stuff and they did not care if they got the wrong guy etc -

Forum:Interlanguage links need checking
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The interlanguage links have recently been updated. The question now is, what isn't right? I didn't have Japanese on my list, and it looks like some have been missed on other wikis. There is a lot to check, so anyone want to help? What I need is something like:
- URL of Version you checked
- language codes that don't work or are missing.
The full list is:
[[ar:]] [[ast:]] [[ca:]] [[cs:]] [[da:]] [[de:]] [[el:]] [[en:]] [[eo:]] [[es:]] [[et:]] [[fa:]] [[fi:]] [[fr:]] [[he:]] [[hu:]] [[it:]] [[ja:]] [[ko:]] [[la:]] [[lv:]] [[lt:]] [[mg:]] [[nl:]] [[nn:]] [[no:]] [[pl:]] [[pt:]] [[ro:]] [[ru:]] [[sl:]] [[sr:]] [[sv:]] [[simple:]] [[th:]] [[tr:]] [[vi:]] [[yi:]] [[zh-hk:]] [[zh-tw:]] [[zh:]]
If you paste that onto a page and preview, you can see which are shown on the sidebar, which are missing, and which go to the wrong place.
You don't need to check off-Wikia versions, just those that I can get fixed.
The list of urls is:
Thanks to anyone who can help!

- ast: and ja: appear to be the problem children, not sure what's up with http://wiki.peremen.name - is it even part of this project? It keeps being removed and inexplicably added back into the list as ko:. De coté franco, les problèmes sont les:
- http://wiki.peremen.name is a Korean humor wiki based on Uncyclopedia, which I thought was a Korean Uncyclopedia (judging by the fact that they have used Korean translations of Uncyclopedia articles), but the owner has explicitly stated that he does not intend to join the Uncyclopedia umbrella, hence the removal.--Ryoske 05:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's worse than that. Translations of CC stuff must be CC (not dual) and authors need to be identified. Ryoske attempted to interwiki back to many original articles and Peremen reverted every one. After reversion (or reversal) "In Soviet Russia, this grue was eaten..." with no attribution back to anyone other than Peremen. Ummm... plagarism anyone? --04:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- DMCA him! Pwn em faster than ED. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 05:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. not really
- I'm not sure when the item was added, so I could be wrong here, but I think Kingdom of Loathing did the joke before we did. Ouch... --User:Nintendorulez 20:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
