Kellie Pickler Corn Maze Opens Near Her Hometown in North Carolina
It's country corn maze season! Kellie Pickler is the latest artist to have her face cut into a field of corn.
It's country corn maze season! Kellie Pickler is the latest artist to have her face cut into a field of corn.
The streak is over! Scotty McCreery's 'See You Tonight' video has displaced 10-week champion Kellie Pickler with the new No. 1 video, as decided by fans and Taste of Country readers. That's not the only shift on the Top 10 list however. New videos from Luke Bryan and Keith Urban also make an entrance.
Kellie Pickler's latest video sets a record with a 10th straight win, but a new challenger to her crown has emerged. Scotty McCreery made an impressive debut with the 'See You Tonight' video; will his fans have what it takes to make the clip No. 1 this week?
With one more Showdown win Kellie Pickler will join a rare group of artists with more than one song in the Showdown Hall of Fame. 'Little Bit Gypsy' made quick work of Gwen Sebastian's 'Suitcase' earlier this week. The uptempo track took over 70 percent of the vote, meaning she'll move on to face a new challenger through the holiday weekend.
Two country blondes will battle during today and tomorrow's Showdown song battle. Champion Kellie Pickler returns after making short work of Dierks Bentley earlier this week. Her new song 'Little Bit Gypsy' took two-thirds of the fan vote, meaning she moves on, again.
Kellie Pickler was up against superstar country trio the Band Perry over the weekend, and her fans were relentless. Despite stiff competition, 'Little Bit Gypsy' took nearly two-thirds of the votes, meaning the new single will move on to face a new challenger in Dierks Bentley on Monday and Tuesday.
Randy Travis' plaque in the Showdown Hall of Fame was all but carved, but Kellie Pickler's new song 'Little Bit Gypsy' upset the legend earlier this week. In a battle of North Carolina natives, the 27-year-old found more fans to vote for her song than Travis did to vote for 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum.'
Randy Travis' new song is just one win away from reaching the Showdown Hall of Fame, but 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum' may be facing its toughest challenger yet. The legend's fans topped the party song by Blackjack Billy earlier this week. Today, they'll need to vote often to beat Kellie Pickler.
Kellie Pickler's recent 'Someone Somewhere Tonight' video featured her 'Dancing With the Stars' partner Derek Hough as her co-star. It was incredibly intimate and overtly sensual, with lots of gorgeous natural light and suggestive dancing, but according to the singer, that's just how it came off on camera.
While there isn't really anything cuter than little kids singing George Jones' iconic song 'White Lightning,' Kellie Pickler was pretty adorable in her own rendition of the loved singer's hit.

Jefferson Parish has made big strides with limited resources in recent years, but it must continue to focus on workforce and infrastructure development in order to meet the challenges of the next decade.
That was the message delivered Wednesday by Jefferson Parish President John Young and Parish Council Chairman Elton Lagasse in their annual "State of the Parish" address to the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Kenner.
Young said that over the next 10 years, the state is expected to create almost 90,000 jobs, most of them in south Louisiana.
"The bad news … is we don't have the skilled workforce to fill those jobs," he said. "We want to fill those jobs with people from Jefferson Parish, this region and the citizens of Louisiana."
Young said bolstering the technical and community college system will be crucial to helping Jefferson get its share of those jobs. He lauded Delgado Community College for its plans to open a River City Campus in 2016 in the Fairfield neighborhood on the West Bank, where the school will provide maritime and automotive training to a student body of 3,000.
Young and Lagasse said the parish needs to keep pushing to find another user for Avondale Shipyard, which has seen its workforce dwindle sharply under the ownership of Huntington Ingalls Industries.
"Basically, they're gone. I don't think you'll see that (come back) as we remember it growing up," Lagasse said.
Young said Jefferson will continue to look for ways to upgrade its housing stock with residential developments that appeal to young professionals. He said there are opportunities in Metairie's Fat City neighborhood, which the parish is trying to reposition as a more hip, walkable district of local businesses.
Young said new pocket parks and better landscaping will help, as will planning initiatives for the Oakwood Center area and along Metairie Road, which the parish hopes to make more like New Orleans' Magazine Street, with streetscape improvements and a mix of local retail and restaurant developments. He also pointed to the area around West End Boulevard at the parish line, which he said could have some development potential if Jefferson and Orleans parishes work together.
Young and Lagasse said the parish and the Regional Planning Commission are working with consultants and landowners in the area to create a master plan to guide development there.
Fairfield, 8,500 acres of largely undeveloped land, is another area ripe for large-scale residential and commercial development in line with what aging boomers and millennials are looking for, they said.
Lagasse said that while the recently expanded Huey P. Long Bridge provides better access to the West Bank, the Fairfield area will need to see new homes, hotels and retail development spring up to really tap into the increased connectivity between the east and west banks.
"We thought the bridge would bring people from the East Bank over, but it's done just the opposite," he said. "We need to have a reason for people to come from the East Bank to the West Bank. If we have these types of (developments), we think that will work."
The pair also touted recent improvements to drainage and flood protection in Jefferson Parish.
Lagasse said the parish has benefited from a number of drainage and sewer projects in the years since Hurricane Katrina, and he noted the parish is halfway through extensive street improvement projects on both sides of the river. Meanwhile, more than 1,000 homes have been approved for elevation, many in highly flood-prone areas such as Lafitte, Barataria and Grand Isle.
Young said Jefferson Parish has led the way in the state in providing residential elevation grants, and he added that the $8.5 million levee recently begun around Jean Lafitte will provide a permanent flood protection solution for that community.
He said companies in the area, which always have the option of relocating to higher ground, want to know one thing: "Are we going to be safe from flooding? Are we going to be protected?"
Young said Jefferson Parish should continue to support efforts to develop a regional passenger rail system connecting New Orleans and Baton Rouge, which could include stops at Louis Armstrong International Airport and Zephyr Field.
"We need to develop other options, other alternatives to transportation, not only to move our workforce but to move tourists throughout the state," he said.
Young said the parish will continue to take a regional approach to economic development, teaming up with Orleans, St. Bernard, Plaquemines and St. Tammany parishes on ways to grow the metro region as a whole.
Among their other comments:
- Lagasse said he thinks the parish will have an agreement for LCMC Health to operate West Jefferson Medical Center by the end of the year. He and Young were not as optimistic about the timetable for finding an operator for East Jefferson General Hospital.
- Young said the airport is trying to get nonstop service to London.
- Young and Lagasse said the parish has been working with the New Orleans Aviation Board to make sure the airport's half-billion-dollar new terminal won't saddle the parish with a massive drainage problem when it's completed. They said they are optimistic something will be worked out.

Article Title
In post-industrial shrinking cities like Baltimore City in Maryland, privately-owned abandoned and vacant land is plentiful. Communities are seeking legal tools to gain access to this abandoned land in order to use it for community purposes. Community Law Center has developed such a tool in self help nuisance abatement, which creates a process for community members harmed by nuisance properties to turn them into community assets. However, the tool requires that neighbors take specific, often nuanced, steps and is therefore difficult to use correctly without legal guidance. A Baltimore community garden case study highlights common missteps, and the paper provides suggestions for community groups from other states who seek to borrow this tool.

Yes, that's the question -- and it's why I haven't put my fix through yet (well that, and not having dealt with the testcases). Adding the test for null stops the hitting of the NPE, but is it the real fix, or is there a bug before that point that should actually be the fix (so that "value" would never be null at that point)?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Water Features' started by syzer, May 20, 2001.
I plan to attend a build a pond seminar soon.
My honest opinion.
Sight unseen.
11 X 16' pond (no stream) $+/-6000
16 X 21' pond (no stream) $=/-7500-8000
Would it be safe to say twice the cost of the kit and other materials needed? ie: cost of kit $900.00. Price it at $1800.00 + cost of stone used?
Get some of Aquascapes books like their quarterly periodicals. Don't bother with the videos, they're pricey and suck. The periodicals list what some guys are charging and it sounds like you're way too cheap. I don't build them for that! You might also try pond supplies of america.[www.pondsupplies.com/]
I think G. Williams is on the right road here. I have not built one myself yet, but have been to two classes and talked to alot of people about it. It seems that on average most contractors charge 6K to 7600$ for an 11 X 16 pond with a small two foot fall.
I know a business man that does the "just double everything" price scheme. he is always either leaving money on the table on easy jobs or losing his shirt and not realizing it. I expect to be servicing all his accounts in another year or two when he goes out of business.
you have to know your costs, the time its going to take and then build in your desired profit.

A cat found with burns all over his body now has received a new life – thanks to a biker named Pat Doody.
Known as Party Cat, the poor creature was found by Doody with burns all over his body at a truck shop while he was traveling from Nevada to New Jersey.
Read: These Crazy Cat Men Are Amazing
"I was at this truck stop getting gas, and this little guy just needed help," he told Revzilla.
The rescuer tucked Party Cat into his vest and set off on his bike, continuing his cross-country adventure with his new companion and documenting their trip on the Internet.
Doody who described the cat as "so chill" has a YouTube channel and plans to make a video that will feature the feline and possibly their journey. Although his Instagram account is currently locked, the rescuer used his Tumblr account to post Party Cat's adorable pictures.
Party Cat, who was checked out by a vet, is recovering well and well on his way to becoming a social media star.

The political alliances between Islamist organisations and the anti-Zionist Left rests on an underlying theoretical compatibility, argues Sapan Maini-Thompson. He examines their shared ideological schema in which Jews appear only as alien, racist, colonial interlopers in the region while Islamist and even anti-Semitic 'resistance' movements are coded as authentic and so progressive.
'Hamas and Hezbollah… are bringing about long term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region.' (Jeremy Corbyn, 2009)
In August 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini consecrated the last Friday of Ramadan as 'Al-Quds Day': 'a universal day to support the oppressed against the oppressor' (International Affairs Department, 2010). This was to be an annual worldwide rally 'to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine' (Sahifa-y Nur, Vol.8: 229). His near-contemporary, the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb, had argued that Islam needed to struggle alongside the Arabs of Palestine against 'the wicked Jews' because it was the epicentre of a civilisational clash between a debauched colonial West and a pious East (Calvert, 2009; Qutb, 1989). Concurrently a new paradigm emerged on some sections of the European Left that focussed on the oppressive iniquities of the Zionist state, its colonisation of the Arab national space and its imposition of an institutionally racist regime which benefitted the Jewish settler population at the expense of the displaced indigene (Herf, 2016). Given their shared aspiration of replacing Israel with a 'de-Zionised' Arab-majority Palestine, it is often assumed that the political alliance between Islamist organisations and the anti-Zionist Left is a function of purely pragmatic co-operation. Developing the analysis of the late Robert Wistrich, this essay will argue that it also rests on theoretical compatibility (Wistrich, 2012). Between revolutionary Shi'ite, Sunni Islamist and European post-colonial theories of Zionism, there is a political companionship borne of a shared ideological schema composed of three principal elements: an uncompromising rejection of the alien Zionist 'Other', an insistence upon the moral invalidity of the Zionist ideal, and a reification of Islamic 'resistance' as a mechanism of progressive struggle.
Since the 1960s, leftist anti-Zionism has rested upon a post-colonial critique of Israel. For example, Gabriel Piterberg's influential study, The Returns of Zionism, argued that the theory and praxis of Zionism possessed an inherently exclusivist settler-colonial dynamic, owing to its völkisch underpinnings and determination to create a 'homogenous' society on nineteenth-century European national lines (Piterbeg, 2010). Piterberg locates his micro-history of Zionism within a typology of comparative settler-colonialisms, contending that Israel continues to 'behave' as a settler project, in terms of both 'frontier-colonisation' and what the Israeli geographer Oren Yiftachel terms 'internal frontier settlement' within the Green Line (Ibid.). In their respective historical inquiries, Colin Shindler and Paul Kelemen have examined how this perspective gained momentum in left-wing political circles following Israel's victory in the Six-Day War, the subsequent settlement drive on the West Bank and Yasser Arafat's popularisation of an anti-colonial resistance narrative (Shindler 2011; Kelemen 2012). Unsurprisingly, the reception within the academy has been contentious, with Derek Penslar noting, for example, that this conceptual trend – with its concomitant historical erasures – has resulted in 'a new form of mythology, this time adversarial rather than apologetic' (Penslar, 2013). It is this 'counter-myth', presenting Zionism as a homogenous ideology of Judeo-supremacy, which sustains the anti-Zionist narrative. Insofar as Zionism is reduced to a monolithically racist enterprise, premised upon the absolute denial of Arab self-determination, ethnic cleansing and apartheid are viewed as the integral logic of its pre-ordained programme. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) co-founder Omar Barghouti exemplifies this tendency when he writes, 'There is no moral parity or legal symmetry between the modern colonisers and the indigenous people who were subjugated to colonialism.' (Barghouti, 2012) Israeli-Jewish self-determination, he continues, even in the framework of a binational state, 'by definition … infringes … on the inalienable rights of the indigenous Palestinians to part of their homeland, particularly the right to self-determination' (Ibid.). In his view, a successful programme of decolonisation would strip the community of interlopers of any national rights, ensuring that the political ownership of the state is the exclusive preserve of the 'indigenous' nation. Zionist political existence is defined in toto as an invasion of the Palestinian body-politic.
Khomeini's political theory of Jewish nationalism was based on a similar, totalising and Othering weltanschauung. In his 1970 publication Islamic Government, Khomeini identified Zionism as nothing but a doctrine of 'domination and supremacy' and Zionists as 'agents of [Western] imperialism', bent upon destroying the 'ideals of the Muslims' (Khomeini, 1970:193). In contrast to the left-wing anti-Zionist paradigm of settler-colonialism, Khomeini purveyed a conspiratorial notion of metropole colonialism, suggesting that Israel's creation at the hand of 'the great powers' was evidence of an imperialist project in the Middle East: 'They are planning to make all the Arab countries share in Palestine's fate, God forbid.' (Sahifa-ye Nur, Vol.1:193) Islamic unity was required as a bulwark against Western 'imperialist machinations'. Intriguingly, the obloquy was not limited to the Jewish state. Applying the Muslim Brotherhood's critique of post-Nasserite Egypt, Khomeini stressed, 'Today Israel and its close friend Egypt are thinking up ways of creating a united front to destroy the Muslims and their lofty ideals.' (Sahifa-ye Nur, Vol.14: 63) Indeed, in a speech to hajj pilgrims in September 1981, Khomeini declared that Anwar Sadat's 'alliance with America and Israel has shamed the Arab people', even accusing him of endangering the al-Aqsa mosque (Ibid, Vol.14: 125). For Khomeini, the Islamic revolution faced a 'malicious Israel' which constituted, among other things, a cultural 'germ of corruption' and an 'enemy of Islam' (Ibid, Vol.1: 201).
Whereas revanchist Arab nationalism emphasised Israel's artificiality as a settler-colonial excrescence, the political Islamic position additionally highlighted its lack of moral authenticity. In fact, Qutb fused these perspectives when he wrote that the battle over Palestine was a 'struggle between the resurgent East and the barbaric West, between God's law for mankind and the law of the jungle' (Calvert, 2009). Moreover, in claiming the US-Israeli alliance was a 'Crusader-Zionist war against every root of the religion of Islam', Qutb established a fundamental pillar of modern Sunni Islamist thought: the idea that America, under the proxy influence of 'world Jewry', was exercising cultural imperialism through its alleged determination to replace 'Islamic values' with secular decadence (Qutb, 1989:33). Palestine was ordained with a symbolic aura as the locus of the clash between Afro-Asian peoples and the colonising West. In both Islamist and left-wing anti-Zionist thought, therefore, Zionists are condemned as stubborn colonialists for refusing to be subsumed into either an Arabised or pan-Islamic conglomerate. The Jewish state is paradigmatically 'othered'.
A second commonality between the anti-Zionism of parts of the left and Khomeinist anti-Zionism concerns their epistemology, in particular, how both analyses rotate around the axis of racial oppression. Zionism is held to be a mechanism of Arab ethnic subjugation, qualifying it as the intellectual basis for a modern system of apartheid: by virtue of exercising sovereignty as a 'national elect', Zionism necessarily entails Jewish supremacism, irrespective of the internal character of the Israeli state. The Jewish claim to national self-determination is deemed inherently regressive: the practical manifestation of which is necessarily reactionary. In this schema, 'Judaism' progressively contrasts with 'Zionism' insofar as it does not seek to claim national rights. Jean-Paul Sartre captured this sentiment in his seminal essay, Anti-Semite and Jew, writing: "The anti-Semite reproaches the Jew with being Jewish; the democrat reproaches him with wilfully considering himself a Jew." (Sartre, 1946)
Wistrich has demonstrated the centrality of Soviet Cold War propaganda in fomenting the claim that Zionism constituted a uniquely racist project (Wistrich, 2012). In 1975, for example, Politizadat publishers in Ukraine published Zionism and Apartheid by Valery Skurlatov (a former Komsomol official in the Moscow City Committee) which argued that Israel shared with South Africa a 'racial biological doctrine' based on the idea of a 'chosen people' versus an 'inferior' goyim, thus fusing pre-Enlightenment theological antisemitism with modernist antagonism towards racial separatism. Similarly, Khomeini emphasised the distinction between 'the Jewish community' and 'the Zionists'. At a gathering of the 'Jewish Society of Iran' in May 1979, he argued that Moses, in defying the Pharaoh of Egypt, was attending to 'the affairs of the weak and oppressed as opposed to the arrogant and powerful' (Sahifeh-ye Iman, Vol.7: 270). Zionism, by contrast, was 'against all religions', exploiting Judaism for political goals. Moreover, he claimed that 'the Zionists are of the opinion that the Jews are superior to all other races' (Sahifa-ye Nur, Vol.16: 21). Zionism's inherent racism and unrelenting thirst to expand 'from the Euphrates to the Nile' meant that it could never be accommodated.
The parallel between this reasoning and that of Soviet propaganda, and their shared paranoia is unmistakeable. In the writings of the iconic post-modern philosopher Gianni Vattimo, we find a fusion. In an essay in the edited collection Deconstructing Zionism he declares: 'When I continue to recite, in the Latin breviary, certain Psalms like the 12th, (Cum reduceret Dominus captives Sion …) I increasingly feel its literal more than its allegorical sense: this is … a song of jubilation for the military victory of one people over another.' (Vattimo & Warder, 2014: 20) Ancient suspicion of Jewish supremacism is recast in modern garb: the literary is reified, forging the 'irredeemable sin' that is Israel. Vattimo continues: 'When [Iranian President] Ahmadinejad invokes the end of the State of Israel, he merely expresses a demand that should be more explicitly shared by the democratic countries that instead consider him an enemy'. (Ibid.: 19) In Vattimo, Islamic irredentism acquires a progressive universalist quality.
Another ideological affinity between revolutionary Islamists and the anti-Zionist Left is support for the 'Islamic resistance' as an authentic reaction to the imposition of European liberal capitalist modernity (Dabashi, 2008). Islamic resistance is framed by the Islamists as necessary not only to remove the intellectually colonising impurity that is Zionism, but as the guarantor of 'justice' and national liberation. For example, the defining feature of the Hezbollah worldview is the Khomeinist ideology of 'resistance' and its categorisation of the world into mustaddafan (oppressors) and mustakbaran (oppressed) (Adib-Moghaddam, 2014). While the Shi'ite paramilitary group has not advanced Islamic government in Lebanon thus far, its formation was arguably the most successful export of the 1979 Iranian revolution. The preoccupation with fighting oppression has its origins in Shi'ite narratives of Hussein bin Ali's – the 'prince of martyrs' – commitment to 'justice'. Hezbollah localised the conception of the Shi'ite as the ultimate oppressed community, Amal Saad-Ghorayeb explains, using the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon and the history of social, political and economic marginalisation experienced by the region's Shi'ite 'community class'(Saad-Ghorayeb, 2002: 18). Hezbollah's significant middle-class support base, however, attests to the fact that socio-economic deprivation is not considered the sole criterion of oppression. Saad-Ghorayeb further explains that 'the incorporation of all social classes into the oppressed category is based on the Qur'anic portrayal of the oppressed as those who [are] economically, politically and culturally "weak" vis-à-vis the "arrogant" oppressor, a bifurcation which is enshrined in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran' (Ibid.: 19). On that basis, Hezbollah is locked into battle with 'arrogant' Zionism.
Conceptually similar undercurrents permeate Hamas's literature. Its 1988 Charter proudly declares that the organisation has 'raised the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors in order to extricate the country and the people from the [oppressors'] desecration, filth and evil' (Hamas, 1998). Despite the confessional divide, it is arguable that Hamas is also inflamed with the Iranian post-revolutionary zeitgeist in that it views a 'return to Islam' as the most effective vehicle for ending Palestinian oppression (Lewis, 1976). As with its Lebanese ally, Hamas considers violence to be a virtuous form of political purification. Drawing a parallel with the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN), Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri declared in August 2014, 'We… remember our brothers in Algeria, who had at least a million and [a] half martyrs… We are leading our people to death – I mean, confrontation.' (Palestinian Media Watch, 2014) When asked by Ken Livingstone in a 2009 interview, moreover, whether Hamas was principally a political or a religious organisation, Khaled Mashal stated: 'Hamas is a national liberation movement' (Mashal, 2009).
The anti-Zionist Left's valorisation of the violent 'resistance' of Islamist and antisemitic forces – captured in the US academic Judith Butler's insistence that Hamas and Hezbollah be considered 'progressive' and 'part of the Global Left' – arguably stems from a couple of sources. First, the Foucauldian notion that the struggle for freedom from a structure of domination has to be all-encompassing, with discourse itself becoming a vector of resistance to the Zionist hegemon. Therefore, 'counter-discourse', even if it is antisemitic, contributes to the process of mentally 'decolonising' the Palestinian subject. Re-shaping discourses is key because as Foucault himself wrote, 'there is no power without resistance' (Foucault, 1978). Or, as David Hirsh quips, antisemitism is understood as the authentic 'voice of the oppressed' against the oppressor (Hirsh, 2007). Second, this belief in the moral quality of unrelenting struggle can trace its origins to revolutionary philosopher Frantz Fanon who argued that violence against the oppressor was a 'cleansing' mechanism which liberated the consciousness of the colonised. He further opined 'The Manichaeism of the colonist produces the Manichaeism of the colonised.' (Fanon, 1963) In other words, for the hierarchical foundation of the colonial world to be overturned, the colonised must commit to a binary view of its existence.
These attitudes are further demonstrated in post-colonial analyses of how the the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) became a native-élite collaborator with the Israeli 'oppressor' in reaching the Oslo Accords. Hamas, by contrast, in rejecting the Oslo paradigm derives legitimacy as the vanguard of authentic resistance. In his 2015 editorial for New Left Review, Perry Anderson – à la Said – presents the Palestinian Authority not as a severely compromised proto-state battling the local expression of a regional Islamist insurgency, but as a crude subcontractor of Israeli colonial violence – operating as a 'parasitic miniature' rentier state (Anderson, 2015). The moral authority of Hamas in left-wing anti-Zionist circles stems, therefore, not only from its 'principled opposition to Israel' (Ibid., 2015), but also from its 'native' and 'neo-traditional' ideological extraction (Eickelman and Piscatori, 2004). On this point of cultural and political authenticity, we see a reproduction of the post-1967 tussle between secular nationalism and political Islam. Applying the Fanonian perspective, moreover, the Islamist commitment to 'radical rebellion' – as Anderson terms the Second Intifada – against both Israel and its repressive Fatah 'surrogate' is tacitly recognised as the only reliable mechanism available, in the short to medium term, for restoring the 'homeland'.
Following the establishment of a Palestinian Liberation Organisation embassy in Tehran in 1979, the founder of The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, George Habash, said: 'Many have been surprised that we, as Marxists, should be on the side of a religious movement like Khomeini's. But beyond ideology, we have in common anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli elements.' (Wistrich, 2010: 713) It has been the contention of this essay that the convergence between the anti-Zionist Left and political Islam is not merely a coincidental syncretism born of a shared commitment to anti-imperial struggle (of which anti-Zionism is considered the forward engine). Rather it is a function of a shared paradigm, in which Jewish national identity is rejected on the grounds that it constitutes an alien, racist and uniquely aggressive exclusivism, not only incompatible with its political environment, but also intrinsically corrupt, and therefore meriting destruction by the 'indigenous', and so progressive, resistance to Zionism.

Inductive activation of magnetite filled shape memory polymers
Vialle, Greg
MetadataShow full item record
Thermally activated shape memory polymers are a desirable material for use in dynamic structures due to their large strain recovery, light weight, and tunable activation. The addition of ferromagnetic susceptor particles to a polymer matrix provides the ability to heat volumetrically and remotely via induction. Here, remote induction heating of magnetite filler particles dispersed in a thermoset matrix is used to activate shape memory polymer as both solid and foam composites. Bulk material properties and performance are characterized and compared over a range of filler parameters, induction parameters, and packaging configurations. Magnetite filler particles are investigated over a range of power input, in order to understand the effects of particle size and shape on heat generation and flux into the matrix. This investigation successfully activates shape memory polymers in 10 to 20 seconds, with no significant impact of filler particles up to 10wt% on mechanical properties of shape memory foam. Performance of different particle materials is dependent upon the amplitude of the driving magnetic field. There is a general improvement in heating performance for increased content of filler particles. Characterization indicates that heat transfer between the filler nanoparticles and the foam is the primary constraint in improved heating performance. The use of smaller, acicular particles as one way to improve heat transfer, by increasing interfacial area between filler and matrix, is further examined.

The beginning of the cool season is your time to focus the attention on your fashion rather than your beach body. Your casual look will set the tone for the rest of your fall. Here are five must have women's sneakers for autumn.
Kenzo Brushed Metallic Low Top Sneaker
Calf leather gives you a great overall feel as a base, and a metallic finish and a gold trim look absolutely great with any pair of quality jeans. The round toe and lace up front provide a modern look, and the low top silhouette gives you a unique look that is just cool enough to look like you just "rolled out of bed looking like this" without losing that chic flavor.
Alexander McQueen Flat Leather Sneaker with Jeweled Hand
This incredibly unique leather and jewel sneaker features a hand applique as its strap cover. The contrast heel counter gives you a great base color scheme that brings you classic Italy and modern fashion.
Saint Laurent Court Classic Roller Skate Sneaker
This French roller skate sneaker has a lace up front, round toe and rubber sole for ultimate comfort as you take your footwear to the next level. Yes, you are literally moving on roller skates, but the star appliques and metallic leather ensure that you are seen as a true fashionetta, not a high schooler skipping class.
Alexander McQueen Triple Monk Velvet Sneaker with Jeweled Moon & Star
The high rubber outsole and platform heel give you an elevated style, not just an elevated height. The velvet gives you one of the smoothest feels of any sneaker on the market, and the jeweled moon and star appliques add an iconic look that you will feel proud to rock anywhere.
Kenzo Patent Leather Platform Sneaker with Detachable Applique
Faux leather gives you a slightly less expensive fashion item, and the detachable applique gives you the ability to move low key or attract attention based on your mood. The polyester build gives you a comfortable feel that will ensure you can stay on your feet for a long time.

Todd McDaniel inked another six athletes for the 2011-12 season of cross country and track and field, including a set of twins.
Austin and Cody Crawley will be sprinters for the Tigers. McDaniel is counting on them in the 100-meter and 200-meter races as well as the 4x100-meter relay. The duo will also add depth to the field event participants in long jump.
Both were on their high school record-setting 4x100-meter relay team, finishing in a time of 44.11, while Austin also holds the record in long jump at 20-feet-10-inches.
"Austin and Cody will be a great addition to our growing group of sprinters," McDaniel said.
Also helping to shore up the field participants for the youthful coach are Christiaan Lee Tanner and Alex Hunt.
Lee will be a pole-vaulter with a personal best of 11-6.
"He will bring a lot to the track team," McDaniel said. "He will be working with Zachary Virgin, our senior pole-vaulter over the fall and winter to get ready for the spring season."
Hunt is a shot-putter with a person best of 42'.
"He is a great student-athlete loved by his coaches and teammates," McDaniel said. "He will bring a much needed depth to our throwing team. Alex will also be competing in javelin and hammer."
Two duel program athletes McDaniel signed for next year are Brad Cundiff and Jimmy Lacy.
Cundiff runs a 17:51 in the 5k.
"I am looking forward to working with him to get him ready for the 8k distance that he will be running," McDaniel said. "He has a great work ethic and will come in ready to work with the upperclassman."
McDaniel also likes the depth Cundiff can add to both programs and that he is was a high school teammate of current Tiger Mark Scout.
Lacy's work ethic was something that stuck out to the GC coach during recruiting.
"In this process of recruiting Jimmy, I just keep hearing what a hard worker he is and that I will get 100% commitment from him every day," McDaniel said. "He is ready for the challenge of competing at the next level."
With these six signees, this runs the rookie class to eight.
Pictures are as follows - Cody and Austin, top; Lee, second; Cundiff, third; and Lacy bottom.

So, i was gonna post this on the talk page of Magolor, but thought it better suited to be posted here...
So, something that was said on the Trivia on the Magolor Soul page, got me thinking.
Here's something that was said along those lines... "Despite what his name actually says, Magolor is not undead"
Thats not the actual quote that was said, so dont go tryin to change it. I just couldnt remember the actual form of the sentence. Anyway, reading the words "Magolor Soul" and then reading "Undead" got me thinking REALLY hard.
What if...the Magolor in Kirby's Dream Collection was actually a Zombie? Not the zombie that eats brains of course, but just a form of a zombie. Why? Well, here is my reasoning...
For starters, when the Master Crown collapses and destroys itself (and Magolor) a type of Ghost Magolor is seen soon after and then vanishes in a flash. Of course, he does appear in the cutscene Kirby Master and of course in the New Challenge Stages. Notable things is that he retains speaking and movement. So he's not completely a "Classic Zombie". Also, he also gets those new powers in the New Challenge Stages, which he may or may not have been able to use anyhow.
Well, here goes. This paragraph is gonna be one hell of a longshot. Perhaps Magolor's species can revive themselves, or can mimic a Phoenix in self-reviving. In fact, remember his EX transition to Soul? Those fire runes do show up. And even in the Trivia in Magolor Soul it says that his coloration is gray, which may have been a result of him burning up. That supports this theory even more, because remember, ashes are gray in a way. So perhaps his species can do a reviving in a Phoenix type of way. Of course, when he attempted this form of reviving with the Master Crown on it took over his weakened form...and the rest is history. And then after the Master Crown was destroyed by Kirby in KRtDL he managed to revive himself and escape Another Dimension somehow before it collapsed on itself.
Its only the "escaping Another Dimension" part that really bugs me the most about my theory, as im sure it will too for you. He can move really fast in KDCSE, so that may explain how he got out quickly, although im not sure how he would be able to breath in space. Well, Kirby can breath in space (in some games, it seems) so perhaps all beings in Gamble Galaxy can breath in space.
Well, this is possibly the most far out theory i have ever posted. Tell me your thoughts please!

Blase ["Monkeyface"] Cupich inaugurates the Year of the Monkey
On February 21, 2016, Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich went to Chinatown's St. Therese Chinese Catholic Church to celebrate the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese calendar, 2016 is the year of the monkey.
Following Chinese pagan traditions, the lion and dragon dances at the New Year's eve celebration are meant to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck for the future year. Above and below first row, we see Cupich inside the church blessing a monster representing the lion.
In the second row, the Chicago Archbishop concelebrates a Mass on an altar with several pagan symbols. The dragon, which dominates the front of the altar, represents good luck; the two black and gold labyrinths set on each end of the altar symbolize the flow of cosmic forces that one must try to balance but always ends in the same way: a shadowy life in the underworld. The incense burner at the side of the altar is to offer appeasement for the suffering souls of the ancestors – a pagan animist practice.
In the third row below, we see Cupich distributing red envelopes to the attendees. According to pagan symbolism, these red envelopes handed out on the Chinese New Year's eve signify energy, happiness and good luck.
We see that the Conciliar Church is becoming the Pantheon of all the idols. It is restoring to life all the idols and idolatries that the Catholic Church had combated and destroyed in her previous glorious and militant past.

lol Nice!
Keep up the excellent work!
| Farla chapter 1 . 12/9/2008
I found your writing style for this insanely annoying. A lot of your sentences just don't quite work. I'd go into greater detail, but it really is annoying to try to read. I think a lack of commas may have something to do with it, or a lack of contractions.

Do memory foam rug pads have any non-slip features?
No. Cloud Comfort rug pads are made for larger rugs that do not require a non-slip grip. If you're looking to add cushion to rugs that need grip, try our Felt + Rubber or Natural Rubber rug pads. Typically, rugs smaller than 7'x10' or rugs that are not anchored down by surrounding furniture should use a non-slip rug pad.

Striving to enhance cooperation with building societies VTB Bank finances DON-stroy company projects in the sphere of housing construction. The Parties entered into a number of agreements, under which the Bank is to grant USD 500 million loans to the company.
DON-stroy will channel the funds into completing the construction of housing estates being under different implementation stages in Moscow. First of all, it is related to the projects at the final implementation stages, which could be accelerated significantly due to financial borrowing. Among them are the following housing complexes:
Besides, cooperation with VTB will allow DON-stroy to provide sustained financing of construction projects to be implemented in 2010. Among them are Losiny Ostrov, Setun Presidential Complex and Plyushchikha Residential District.
"Thus, DON-stroy will be able to safely stick to the announced construction schedules. And despite unstable current situation in the real estate market, in 2008 the company will put into operation 389,415 sq.m. of the housing" - said Maxim Blazhko, Chairman of the DS Holding Board of Directors.
For reference:
The DON-stroy group of companies is one of the leading developers in the Moscow property market. Today, the company has more than 50 already implemented projects, those being under construction and under the development in the sphere of residential and commercial real estate with the total area of over 4,500,000 sq.m. The most famous of them are Alye Parusa, Triumph-Palace, Vorobievy Gory, House on Mosfilmovskaya, REC Shchuka and NordStar Tower business centre. DON-stroy operates in the highest segments of residential real estate, such as Business, Premium and De Luxe. Over the 14 years, the company constructed 30 buildings with the total area exceeding 1,500,000 sq.m., and 11 more are under implementation stages.
In 2008, according to FORBES magazine the DON- stroy group of companies became the largest Russian developer of the highest segments of residential and commercial real estate and was ranked 46th in FORBES-200 among the largest Russian companies. The holding profit over the 2007 financial year amounted to USD 1,500 million. For more information, visit the company's website at www.donstroy.com

20 things you never knew about Bellatrix Lestrange, or, Amazon.
1. Bellatrix was a regular Amazon queen, or so her sister Andromeda used to tell her at the age of thirteen. But she had learnt not to trust Dromeda, so she brushed off the idea, and never thought of it again.
Bellatrix never took Astronomy, but she kind of wished she had.
2. She loved her cold, hard beauty, all angles and smirks and hair as wild and as black as her heart. She never wished for Dromeda's sweet, brown eyes or Cissy's princess-blonde hair. Not Bella; she was the belladonna, and she like it that way.
3. Bellatrix first performed an Unforgivable on their Muggle neighbour's hamster at the age of five - what could she say? She was curious.
4. There were two perfectly symmetrical scars on the palms of her hands from when she broke a mirror when she was eleven.
Bellatrix never believed in seven years bad luck.
5. She was nineteen when she told her new husband Rodolphus on the first day of their honeymoon that he wouldn't be getting any heirs from her. To the untrained eye, it seemed as though neither of them could've cared less.
6. The first person to ever perform Crucio on Bellatrix was Andromeda.
She didn't say a single word for three days until she challenged her sister to a rematch. Andromeda learnt the hard was that there were only three Unforgivables, because no one wanted to mention the others.
7. Bellatrix's parents were scared of her, in a way.
She was too temperamental, too superficial, too brutal, too Black. The inbred insanity tempted to seep into every generation, but in every generation, there was always one that was a little more... well, just a little more. Bellatrix was that one.
Seeing as her father's sister, her Aunt Walburga, was the one of their generation, perhaps they had a right to be scared, not that they showed it.
8. When she was younger, Bellatrix made a point of dancing out in the rain, to make her hair frizz and annoy her darling mother. The only thing she could never transfigure was an umbrella. They all ended up broken.
Bellatrix found that she didn't really care.
9. She never said it. She never thought it, or spoke of it, or gave any inclination that she knew of its existence. Love. From the outside, it seemed as though the closest Bellatrix ever got to it was her obsession with Tom Riddle; obsessive love is still love, after all.
10. Dromeda had always been the perfect picture of elegance, superiority and poise. It was almost as if she had been born with her knees together, her back straight and her eyes forward, her charming but cunning smile just another feature.
Cissy was made for dinner parties, for balancing tea trays and entertaining guests. She floated in ballrooms and sung like an angel. She was the delicate, lovely ornament at her husband's side.
Bella was always a bit more of a loose cannon - she didn't dab her mouth with the corner of her napkin, didn't use the standard pureblood etiquette, and always rested her pale elbows on the dinner table.
Funny how Andromeda Tonks was a blood traitor, Narcissa Malfoy betrayed her husband, and Bellatrix Lestrange was queen of their world, for a moment or two.
11. She was in love, once, and when Andromeda was blasted off the tapestry, Bellatrix wondered if Mother would pay that much attention to her if she married a Muggleborn.
Or maybe a Gryffindor.
12. Bellatrix wanted to be a Ravenclaw rather than a Snake. The Hat told her that she wasn't intelligent enough, so she threatened to curse it, to show it just how good at studying she really was.
It put her in Slytherin anyway.
13. "Daddy." Bellatrix only called her father Daddy when he was drunk and she needed to sweeten him up. She nodded to the only slightly more sober woman beside him. "Daddy's mistress."
"I'm not his mistress," the woman slurred. Bellatrix knew this was a usual occurrence, and so left before Dromeda came tearing down the stairs to tend to their father's every whim and kick his one-night stand out into the London night. She really did hate her father.
14. She forgot to forgive them, and that was that.
15. "Leave, then, blood traitor. Or aren't you as Gryffindor as you tell wittle Siwius you are?"
"Fuck off, Bella," Andromeda snarled, lifting up her suitcase. "Do try not to smile too much when Mother burns me off the tapestry. It does nothing for your looks." In fact, Bellatrix didn't smile at all, not that Andromeda would ever know that.
16. Bellatrix was the only one to have inherited the classic grey Black eyes.
Sirius Black died laughing too.
17. When Bellatrix was very young, she and Andromeda dressed baby Narcissa up as a fairytale princess. By the time Cissy was six, Druella had broken her tiara, burnt Dromeda's fairy books and Bella had been praised for punishing her younger sisters. Harshly.
18. Narcissa had always been Bellatrix's favourite. She was cunning in a way that was different from most; more subtle. She knew what she wanted. That was more than Bellatrix could say.
Well; she liked Narcissa Black, the girl with blonde hair and a charming smile and who singularly held the secrets of the entire Slytherin house.
Narcissa Malfoy was a harsh, white-blonde haired woman with a strained smile and high cheekbones who was dragged into a war she didn't understand. Cissy, her smirking, poetic, melodramatic Cissy, had died a long time ago.
19. "An Amazon queen," Bellatrix laughed to herself, slashing her wand back and forth in some twisted version of a hero's sword. The night sky hung full and gleaming above her, the star Bellatrix, the Amazon Star, dimmed next to the likes of Sirius. "Fitting."
Bellatrix's last thought, however, was that she should've buried the hamster.
20. Her rebellion was a brutal one. "Crucio."
I wanted to show Bellatrix in more of a human light - if you want more information on the last 'thing', check out my story, The Black Swans, which goes into more detail about the life of the sisters.
Also, please check out my three other '20 things': Daffodil, Galaxy and Star.
Coming up next are: Prince, Knight and Vision - keep an eye out for them, and, review?~

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Aleksandra Fazlipour on Tomás Eloy Martínez's Purgatory, which is translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne and available from Bloomsbury USA.
Aleksandra did an independent study with me last semester to learn about writing book reviewing. She read a bunch of books, wrote and rewrote and rewrote her pieces, read all of the essays in the Words Without Borders "How to Review Translations" series, and became a much better writer and reviewer over the course of the semester. I meant to run her pieces throughout the semester, but classes (and ALTA and life and work and everything) kept me way too busy. So instead, I'll run them every Friday for the next few weeks.
This is from the first review she ever wrote:
Emilia Dupuy is haunted by the memory of her missing husband, Simon Cardoso. During what seemed like a routine mapping expedition in Argentina for the couple (both of whom were cartographers), Simon vanished without a trace. A thread of hope is preserved in Emilia thirty years after his disappearance in spite of testimonies stating that he was detained, tortured, and murdered. Simon became one of the many "disappeared" that characterized Argentina in the wake of the Dirty War, and Emilia became one of the individuals left behind in her own personal purgatory, marked by uncertainty with regards not only to the whereabouts of her husband, but the direction of her own life and her place within her family. Tomas Eloy Martinez carefully constructs this tale of one woman's struggle in Purgatory by mingling poignant emotion with gut-wrenching fact and allows the reader to effortlessly move between present-time New Jersey into the corrupt Argentina of yester-year characterized by propaganda-induced authority.
The true power of Martinez's storytelling lies in is his ability to make his protagonist's personal struggle secondary to the oppression of the Dirty War—he uses his artistic skill to enfold the reader not only into Emilia's story but into the time itself, whisking the audience through 30 years in the blink of an eye. In hopes of finding her husband, Emilia fruitlessly following a series of ultimately inaccurate clues pointing to Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, and finally the United States. The true angst in the story floods not from the pursuit itself but from the slow realization that these clues seem loosely linked to Emilia's own father: Dr. Dupuy, a propagandist for the oppressive government regime itself. The irony almost makes the narrative humorous—Dupuy's ideals enforce the statement "God, family, country," but it seems increasingly clear to the audience and to Emilia that her father instigated Simon's disappearance, and possibly his torture and murder, in order to further his own agenda and to keep Emilia among others from discovering the truth behind the government's atrocities.

We had a fantastic time at the 2016 festival, and 2017 will be the 11th year that we've held the festival right in the centre of Derby. We're really pleased with all we have achieved – we have a great location, fabulous acts, and a super-friendly atmosphere… we'd love you to come and join us!
