Root-knot nematodes are already taking their toll in some West Texas cotton fields.
We have observed stunting associated with severe nematode populations in some fields. Stunting is occurring in fields that did not have a nematicide applied at planting and in fields that had a nematicide applied at-planting.
Presence of root-knot nematodes can be confirmed by digging up plant roots and examining the roots for galls. Root-knot nematode galls are formed when juvenile nematodes penetrate cotton roots and pierce the vascular cells. Feeding causes cells to enlarge and the knots or galls become apparent. This impairs root function by inhibiting the uptake of water and nutrients.
Management options vary depending on the level of nematode infestations. Crop rotation to a non-host is the best method in managing root-knot nematodes. Other options include seed treatments or Temik 15G applied in-furrow at planting followed by foliar application of Vydate C-LV. Planting partially resistant varieties is one of the most effective management options.
Beet armyworm
We have observed some beet armyworm damage in non-Bt cotton fields we are scouting. However, larval survival is low, with one larva surviving in some cases, but no larvae surviving in most cases. An insecticide application was not justified in these fields.
Young larvae will chew the green layer from the leaves, which causes a "window paned" appearance. We have reached treatable levels in some fields and are starting to see leaf and terminal damage. However, most of the fields have low thrips pressure or are growing fast enough to out run developing thrips populations.
Monitoring fields closely will allow you to detect when seed treatments or at planting insecticides have run out. If you start picking up immature thrips, then at planting insecticides or seed treatments have likely run out. Treatments may be justified when you are averaging one thrips per leaf.
Timing is the most important component of foliar applications. If considerable damage occurs prior to treatment, you may have missed your opportunity to have the most effect. Once you reach 5 true leaves, treatments are probably not justified because there is enough leaf mass and you are likely safe from economic damage.

BROOKFIELD, WISCONSIN -- I had a conversation with an ** from Phoenix at Alpine Lending who said he was taking my current loan information and would have someone call me back either way to tell me if they could "significantly" improve my situation with regard to monthly loan payments and interest rates. The next call we got was someone telling us we had missed our appointment, even though we had not agreed to meet with anyone.
About one week later we got another call from a representative at Alpine Lending telling us we missed another meeting. It was at this time my wife and I made a decision we would NEVER do business with Alpine Lending, even if they were the last mortgage company left because of the way they tried to force and bully us. If they used these high-pressure tactics on us now, imagine how high-pressured they would be if we qualified for a loan with one of their lenders.
TEMPE, ARIZONA -- Had a terrible experience with this company. Spoke with senior loan officer, **, regarding a refinance on my existing mortgage. Was hesitant about giving my credit card number, but ** had explained this was company policy before they could send out a good faith estimate and that they would not charge the $325.00 application fee until I had signed, accepted, and returned the loan paperwork. Received the paperwork quickly, but application contained several errors. For instance, we spoke of a 6 month LIBOR ARM, the application contained the words 3/1 ARM, we also spoke about cash-back and the application did not contain what we spoke of originally.
I contacted ** immediately about the errors and told him I decided to continue to shop around. Just received my credit card statement and they had charged my card without authorization! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!! Currently disputing the charge with Alpine Lending and my credit card company and will also be filing a complaint with the BBB.
BROOKLYN PARK, MINNESOTA -- This company called me to refinance through them, and while talking to the telemarketer on the telephone, I could hardly hear him, with all the shouts and cheers going on in the background, the company sounds so phony, with their 5 ring binders with 1000's of lenders in it. My girlfriend refinanced through them, and told me to stay away, it took 3 months to close, and it was the biggest mistake she's ever made. I have already decided to go with GREEN ACRES Mortgage, they are very professional, and know the business!!
The complaint from "tander" finds fault with a telemarketing/call center atmosphere. That it is offensive to him is certainly beyond our control and he is well within his rights to deal with whatever company best suits his needs. However, the complaint references a girlfriend whose refinancing process took ninety (90) days. While this is not our usual time frame, certain loans are more complex by nature of the applicant or the property. The more complicated the process of finding a good fit in terms of a lender and subsequently meeting all stipulations for closing a loan the more time the process takes. We have offered to investigate a specific complaint, but have had no response from "tander" so that we can do so.
You will find here following excerpts from just a few of our recent Customer Satisfaction Surveys that are conducted at the conclusion of each loan closing. Almost all were initially contacted by a telemarketer.
From Ernest: "This was the best experience with refinancing that we have had over the years. . ."
From Larson: "I appreciated the patience with which the loan officer explained the programs and answered my questions."
From Linda: "The loan officer was extremely helpful in finding a mortgage for me. He went the extra mile where as a lot of other contacts from other mortgage companies dropped the ball, didn't follow up with me. He was very informative & explained things in a way I could understand."
From Greg: "I would come back and/or recommend Alpine to anyone. Thank you."
From Linda: "They have gone beyond expectations in helping me!! Thanks!"
From Lentsch: "I truly appreciate all the time and effort that went into getting us not only the Refi at a lower interest but a high enough property assessment to allow the removal of the PMI."
From Jeff: "I started with another Mortgage co. but they were not working for or with me. Alpine did!!"
From Dick: "GREAT JOB - GOOD COFFEE"
From Paul: "I would recommend Alpine to anybody ad will. Friendly, helpful and spoke to me as an equal and explained all that needed explaining. Made the process fun."
From Jeff & Dawn: "I came to your mortgage company with my doubts because of my past experiences with mortgage companies. Our loan officer told us she could probably help. She went way beyond that-she went the extra mile and a half for us. She made our dream of having our own house a reality. We can't thank her and your company enough. Thank you very much."
Anyone with a complaint is welcome to contact us directly. All complaints are taken very seriously, thoroughly investigated, and a satisfactory resolution is our goal.

The first week of classes at the University of Florida has ended, but as the weekend celebrations begin, students are being urged to take steps to thwart sexual predators.
The first week of classes at the University of Florida has ended, but as the weekend celebrations begin, students — particularly female freshmen — are being urged to take steps to thwart sexual predators.
Two women reported last week that they had been sexually battered by two men they met at a bar across from the University of Florida. The women said they might have been drugged, police reported.
A similar case in 2011 involved a woman who said she met a man at the same bar and was raped after she accepted a ride from him. Several other sexual assaults involving college students have occurred in the past few years.
In some cases, the women were in their homes. In others, the women were outside at their apartment complex, getting out of a car downtown or doing similar everyday routines.
University health experts and police say it can happen regardless of the circumstances. But college-age women can lessen the chances by following some safe practices.
"We and the police are doing a lot more education and reminding people about their personal safety and being aware. It is something we all take very seriously, especially with the influx of new students now," said Maureen Miller, director of UF's GatorWell Health Promotions Services. "Be aware of your surroundings. Know who you are going out with — and that doesn't mean the person you met next door a week ago."
Sexual battery charges were filed Aug. 16 against the two men who allegedly raped the two women they met at a Gainesville bar, bought drinks for and invited to a nearby apartment, the Gainesville Police Department reported.
Arrested were Carlos Gabriel Telleria, 21, of 101 NW 10th St., and Gustavo Adolfo Herdocia, 26, of 1630 NW Second Ave.
Telleria has been admitted as a fall student at UF, transferring from Santa Fe College, while Herdocia is a Santa Fe student.
The incident happened about 3 a.m. on Aug. 9 and began earlier at 101 Cantina, a bar in the 1600 block of West University Avenue.
Police reported that two women met the men at the bar and that one of the men was able to get the women wristbands so they could drink alcohol, the arrest reports state. Police later said the women were not old enough to legally drink alcohol.
The women had one drink each and, shortly before closing, had consumed only about half of those drinks but felt completely intoxicated, police said.
The men persuaded the women to walk about a block to an apartment, the reports state. The women reported they were unconscious for a time and then woke while being raped, police allege.
About one in five college women nationally will be sexually battered, and most do not report it, said Sherry Benton, director of Counseling and Wellness at UF.
Benton said that nationally among colleges, the start of an academic year typically has the highest number of sexual assaults, in part because of the influx of naive freshmen.
"The vast majority of sexual assaults do not happen with strangers," Benton said. "When it is sexual assault, when it wasn't with consent, when the women said no and it still happens, there is a lot of confusion and guilt and all kinds of complicated feelings for the women. Not trusting, wondering if it was their fault."
Alcohol is often a factor — it can cloud judgment or cause blackouts.
The city has taken various steps aimed at curbing underage drinking and excessive drinking, but it still goes on.
In 2009, the city passed an ordinance that punishes establishments with an excessive number of underage drinking violations by prohibiting them from allowing anyone under the age of 21 into the business for 90 days.
The prohibition is triggered if a bar with an occupancy of less than 201 has five violations or more in any three-month period. Larger bars can have 10 violations.
Among the bars that have been cited in the campus area are 101 Cantina, the Swamp and Gator City
Data from GPD show that 101 Cantina had 15 underage violations in 2009, 71 in 2010, two in 2011, 17 in 2012 and 12 so far this year.
Gator City in 2010 had 15 violations, one in 2011, three in 2012 and six so far this year. GPD data shows The Swamp had two violations, both in 2012.
Alex Thomas, owner of Gator City and 101 Cantina, said he has been working diligently to reduce the number of violations.
The business conducts training for employees to try to spot underage drinkers and those with fake identities, Thomas said. He added that GPD was given video from inside 101 Cantina on the night of the sexual batteries.
"We are proactive with GPD and the public safety board. We go to all the meetings and suggest to GPD that they work with the businesses to train security staff properly," Thomas said. "It is hard to police thousands upon thousands of people a week, especially kids who have no real regard for a security guard."
Both Thomas and GPD Lt. Brian Helmerson, who heads a downtown unit that deals with the bar scene, said students can pay upwards of $300 for a fake identification made in China complete with a photo that looks like the real thing and can be swiped in scanners.
An exercise GPD did Wednesday night outside a campus-area bar showed that many students don't realize how impaired they are after drinking.
Police gave 49 breath tests to volunteers, including 10 who were underage. The highest blood-alcohol level was .231 by a woman. The lowest was .045 by a man. Thirty-seven had a level of more than .08, the legal standard for impairment in Florida.
Helmerson said an educational campaign soon will be done with bars on how to check identification and other security issues.
Meanwhile, Miller said GatorWell soon will roll out a new advertising campaign aimed at student safety and curbing excessive drinking.
The ads will feature the tagline "When I drink too much ..." with various scenarios such as "I end up in a random apartment and don't know how I got there."
Miller said simple precautionary measures such as walking with your head up and being aware of what is happening around you can help fend off trouble.
"I don't want to engage in any victim-blaming, but I think it is always better to err on the side of caution," Miller said.

Illustrated by Charles van Sandwyk
The glorious adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger have enchanted children and their parents for over a century. A glorious edition of the children's classic, with enchanting illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk.
Published price: US$ 67.95
The Wind in the Willows is about many things – the changing seasons, the beauty and fragility of nature, the thrill of the open road, and the creeping tide of suburbia – but it is the glorious adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger that have enchanted children and their parents for over a century.
Of this Folio edition, author Michael Morpurgo has said 'In almost 100 years since its first publication, I doubt there has been a finer edition.' One of our all-time bestsellers, it features new illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk that perfectly evoke the idyllic world of wild wood and riverbank.
When Mole is drawn out of his underground abode ('Hang spring-cleaning!') by the imperious call of Spring, he is fascinated by the world above his home. The first animal he meets is lively Ratty, who introduces him to the beauties of the river and the joys of 'simply messing about in boats'. Mr Toad, irrepressible aristocrat and creature of crazes, shatters this rural calm with his discovery of the automobile. 'Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped - always somebody else's horizon! Oh, bliss! Oh, poop-poop!' Soon he is risking life and limb indulging his new-found passion, experiencing brushes with the law and landing himself in prison, much to the concern of his friends. Even stern Badger cannot control Toad's lunatic enthusiasms and wild antics, until they are all faced with a tremendous battle against the scheming stoats and wheedling weasels that have taken over Toad Hall. Can the four friends win against the frightening denizens of the Wild Wood? And does our irresponsible hero really become 'an altered Toad'?
The Wind in the Willows is about many things – the changing seasons, the beauty and fragility of nature, the perils of the open road and the creeping tide of suburbia – but it is the glorious adventures of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger that have enchanted generations of children and their parents for nearly a century. The sheer familiarity of the characters has been a challenge to artists ever since, and Charles van Sandwyk has risen to it magnificently. His wonderful illustrations breathe new life into the much-loved heroes of Kenneth Grahame's classic, magically evoking the idyllic and occasionally dangerous world of wild wood and river bank.
This edition of Kenneth Grahame's enchanting adventure is one of The Folio Society's all-time bestsellers. It features 83 wonderful illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk, magically evoking the woods and riverbank. Care has been lavished on every detail, from the luxury Modigliani paper to the endpapers and slipcase, both printed with pen-and-ink designs. The cloth cover is blocked in black and gold, with a printed label inset showing Ratty and Mole by the fireside. This volume won the Grand Prix Award at the Printing World Awards.
'It combines a love of nature with a nostalgia for boats, caravans and old cars, and hints at a more innocent time. I've loved it since I was ten and never tired of it'

Quick and Dirty 5 minute DIY mod for Chinese dual ribbon mics
A number of clients and forum members have commented on the "phasey" and "hollow" sound they hear in the popular dual ribbon Chinese mics. Here's a quick and dirty mod to clean up those problems - and its reversible. Get out the blow torch, Sawzall and welding mask. Let's get started!
There are several challenges impeding best sound in this ribbon mic design. While the dual ribbon design does offer some increased output over single a single ribbon design (assuming same-size magnets and ribbons), it also introduces phase and tuning issues between ribbons. And the parallel grille design found in some of these mics encourages back-and-forth standing wave comb filtering. You can address the dual-ribbon and parallel grille challenges very easily.
Simply pry off the covers off the mic (press in toward the center slightly and pry away from the frame simultaneously). Running the mic without the grille covers will eliminate nasty back-and-forth standing wave stuff. Ribbon mics are very low impedance circuits so you can run the mic without the grilles and only pick up a little extra hum - just orient the mic for minimum hum pick up when in use.
Dual ribbon Chinese mic ready for operation
Of course the other caveat concerns ribbon damage - its very easy to damage the ribbon when its exposed as I'm suggesting (but I did call this a quick and dirty mod right?) so use a pop filter. More elegant solutions are possible and I'll be offering them in the future.
Next, place the mic so you can see the PC board ribbon connections as shown in the picture here. Loosen the nut closest to the PC board that holds the ribbon motor to the frame. Unsolder the lower ribbon wire and move it up so that it is underneath the ribbon motor mounting washer you previously loosened. Tighten the nut.
What have we done? We've used the frame to complete the ribbon circuit using only one ribbon! This will eliminate all phase problems and tuning discrepancies between the ribbons. Output level drops a little but this mod provides enough level for guitar cab recording or loud vocals.
Now these mods don't address the long acoustic front-to-back path challenge that compromises high frequency response, but solving this and making an improved grille to both protect the ribbon and eliminate standing waves requires some serious re-design and machining work.
But this 5 minute DIY deal makes for a much more pleasant-sounding and useful mic. Enjoy!

Goga Navami is observed on the ninth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of moon) in Bhadrapad month in
North India. Goga Navami 2018 date is September 4. Also known as Guga Naumi, the festival is dedicated to Guga – the Snake God. It is believed that he appeared on earth on the ninth day of Bhadon. The festival is of great importance in Himachal Pradesh, western Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and other regions in North India.
Story of Goga Navami
Legend has it that Guga, a Rajput prince and hero, had supernatural powers to control snakes. He got the powers even before his birth from Baba Gorakhnath. There are different versions of the story of Guga and is narrated on the day as part of rituals. All stories include his divine birth, his art of healing people bitten by snakes and controlling venomous snakes, his marriage, dispute with cousins, wars and his final disappearance from earth. He is believed to have defeated numerous powerful kings.
How is Goga Navami Observed?
- Guga is depicted riding a blue horse and holds blue and yellow flags.
- Processions and pujas are held on the day in Guga Mari Temples.
- During the period, Guga Navami melas (fairs) are held in many regions in rural parts of North and north-western
. India
There is a popular belief that children will be protected by Guga. So married women pray and perform pujas for the long life and health of their children. Childless married women pray for begetting children.

well, that's true - the republicans have been much, much better at simplifying their message, and propagating it successfully despite the vast chasm between the message and the reality.
which means liberals somehow have to find a way to a) simplify their own message and b) get people to pay attention to the 'liar, liar, pants on fire!' response to the republican message.

Well, there are two significant things to take from this. First, he told his people to tone it down. I'm less than optimistic that things will actually change at Fox, but it's a start.
Second, the president of Fox News acknowledged that they represent one side of the political spectrum. To my knowledge they had maintained their supposed unbiased "fair and balanced" claims until now.

What American liberals really need is the same media and political savvy as Republicans--which includes ruthlessness and balls, but it also includes simplifying their message. The Republicans can sell themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility even though they have all the fiscal responsibility of a sixteen-year-old because they are better than liberals at manipulating the media to lend them the impression that they
fiscally responsible.
This is pretty spot on, I think. How quickly did the death panels rumor spread, despite the fact that it was about as far from the truth as you could get? It didn't matter because they kept repeating themselves - drag Grandma in front of a death panel, drag Grandma in front of a death panel - and by the time the left made any concerted effort to rebut it the public had heard the lie a thousand times, and even people who didn't believe it at first had started to believe it. Because surely they couldn't get away with saying it for so long if it weren't true...
One major problem is that the left is far more fractured than the right. The GOP ideological spectrum is much narrower, making it easier to lead members to act together. Olympia Snowe, a Republican Senator, has complained about this, as she's possibly the only moderate Republican left in the Senate (or at least the only one with name recognition) and has said she often feels pushed out. The Democrats are a kind of big tent, stretching the gulf between Blue Dogs and Dennis Kucinich. We have Republican Lite through hardcore communist, which makes getting consensus impossible, and getting everyone to vote as a bloc even harder (seriously). So, Democrats never present that united front that Republicans do. Ideologically, I think it's a good thing, but practically it cuts them off at the knees pretty frequently.

But chances are that Loughners motives will prove as irreducibly complex as those of most of his predecessors in assassination. Violence in American politics tends to bubble up from a world thats far stranger than any Glenn Beck monologue a murky landscape where worldviews get cobbled together from a host of baroque conspiracy theories, and where the line between ideological extremism and mental illness gets blurry fast.
When our politicians and media loudmouths act like fools and zealots, they should be held responsible for being fools and zealots. They shouldnt be held responsible for the darkness that always waits to swallow up the unstable and the lost.
It's like he listened to Mike Savage and Jim Justice on the radio and then wrote an op-ed repeating their arguments. Human motivations are too complex! We can't say violent rhetoric leads to violence... and even if we can there's no direct link to any particular rhetoric
so this isn't a problem at all!
. Toss in some references to liberals using violent imagery (I've yet to see any mention of a liberal carrying an automatic rifle outside a conservative rally...), talk about how
some assassins are *gasp!* liberals and Bob's your uncle, nothing to see here, go back to your regularly scheduled hatefest with a clear conscience.
Too bad it's bullshit.

That sort of debate is going on in the comments and message boards, and in people's houses or workplaces. I doubt any actual legislators are going to make a case out of it until some times has passed so they don't come off looking like vultures preying off this tragedy, and until it becomes a policy issue there's really nothing for the news to say about it. However, you can bet the right wing pundits are already gearing up defensively and poisoning the well before anybody even makes it an official issue.

well, sarah palin obviously read glenn reynold's article - she's complaining that
criticism of her is 'blood libel'
. obviously, she was completely ignorant of the meaning before -hopefully it will now bite her firmly on the ass (not that any of her other stupid statements have shut her up). worth a read, for standard radical-right self-justification: we aren't responsible for the acts of a single crazy person, we were just exercising our first amendment rights, and besides, all that stuff about arming ourselves really meant something else, and ending by wrapping herself firmly in the flag. and there are a slew of harpies backing her up. michelle malkin was her usual sweet self:
The blamestream media is already up in arms can we still say that? over the use of the phrase blood libel, Ms. Malkin wrote. The more moronic of Palin-bashers will simply gnash their teeth because she said blood. Idiocracy: The new normal.
palin mentions people "respectfully exercising their first amendment rights", but it's hard to see shouting someone down and making death threats as 'respectful'.

It's merely the respectful exercising of first amendment rights. Don't criticize me or you're ignoring the Constitution. P.S.

First photos of Gabrielle Giffords released
The first photos of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords since she was shot in the head in a mass shooting in Tucson about five months ago were released early Sunday.
By P.K. Weis, AP
Most recent photo of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords since she was shot was released Sunday. She's shown with her mother, Gloria Giffords.
Her staff provided two photographs to The Arizona Republic and also planned to share the images with theArizona Daily Starand on Giffords' Facebook page. According to her staff, the decision to share them was made by Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, who hope the photos will help Giffords avoid the glare of camera lenses when she begins outpatient therapy later this month.
The goal was to satisfy "public curiosity about her appearance," said C.J. Karamargin, Giffords' communications director. "We want to avoid a paparazzi situation."
The photographs were taken on May 17 in the hours before Giffords' cranioplasty surgery by P.K. Weis of SouthwestPhotoBank.com, who photographed Giffords in the garden of the Houston rehab hospital where she is recovering. Weis, the former photo editor of the Tucson Citizen, is also Giffords' friend and said the photos were not altered....
The Onion
Let's Just Go Ahead And Assume We've Learned The Lessons Of The Gabrielle Giffords Shooting
On Jan. 8, 2011, we as a society were shocked and dismayed when 19 people, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona's 8th District, were shot during a public meeting outside a local supermarket. Six people were killed and Rep. Giffords suffered a near-fatal head wound. In the wake of this national tragedy, there seemed to be a clarion call to have an open dialogue about gun control, a thoughtful conversation about the way this country treats its mentally ill, and a long overdue discussion about the consequences of overly inflammatory political rhetoric.
Well, seeing as I haven't heard so much as a word about any of those topics in the past three months, I'm going to go ahead and assume that at some point we thoroughly explored those complex issues, resolved them, and are now living our lives based on the lessons we learned from the in-depth conversations I assume we had.
After all, if the crucial, imperative questions raised by this shootingand there were manyhadn't been satisfactorily answered, we'd still be discussing them, right? The violence was far too brutal and the loss of life far too tragic for the American people to treat the Arizona shooting like any other news event that consumes the country for a brief moment and is then virtually forgotten. So let's just say that we handled the tragedy with the sophistication it deserved. Let's say that we heeded the call for national unity and are as united today as we were five months ago; that the unspeakable violence left an indelible impression on all of us; that Congress came together and is currently working diligently on landmark gun control legislation; and that we are now living in a new era of mutual understanding. Can we do that?
If so, that would be great. Because after all, if we had just brushed aside the life-altering assassination attempt of a congresswoman, as well as the death of a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl without seizing the opportunity to address our nation's glaring problems, then all the shooting victims would have died in vain, and all 300 million of us would be irresponsible, superficial hypocrites with the attention spans of newborns.
That is why I am going to go ahead and say that we gave ourselves a good hard look in the mirror and opened up a desperately needed national dialogue on the legality of guns with 30-round magazine clips. We also had, I'm sure, a productive discussion as to whether or not states allocate enough money toward the identification and treatment of the mentally ill. I wasn't present for either of these dialogues and I never really saw or heard anyone engage in them, but I'm sure they happened. They must have. These questions were far too important to ignore and we, as responsible citizenry, completely understood that, let's just say.
After all, Jared Lee Loughner, whose name I'm going to assume readers of this editorial didn't forget because he was at the epicenter of every single news story for two straight weeks, opened fire on innocent U.S. citizens who were simply taking part in the democratic process. Husbands were widowed, parents lost their children, senior citizens were murdered. This shocking event ripped at the very fabric of our country, and instead of just forgetting about it when the news vans packed up and left, honest discussions about the consequences of deceitful political rhetoric that deliberately preys on people's fears persisted. Further, a responsible conclusion was reached, and our nation's leaders agreed that this kind of inciting, sinister language would stop forever.
That's what we should all agree happened. Please.
We should also just agree that members of Congress sat together at the State of the Union address after the shooting, not just as a publicity stunt, but as a true display of unity that I'm going to assume continues to this very day as they work together on deficit reduction, clean energy, and the economy. And I am willing to bet that, although I don't remember this happening, President Obama gave a rousing speech about gun control even though he knew it wasn't politically viable to do so. Because in a situation such as this, what probably happened was that someone as thoughtful as our president realized politics as usual should be thrown out the window.
And let's not forget Ms. Giffords herself. With all the media attention centered on her recovery, people haven't forgotten, I'm sure, why she is recovering in the first place. There was a deep, festering problem in this country that exploded on Jan. 8, a problem that involved not just political discord, but a growing distrust for our political leaders that had been propagated by irresponsible media personalities and by elected officials themselves. Throw in race, the lagging economy, and an overall feeling of national disunity, and you have a complex situation that desperately needed to be resolved.
For Gabrielle Gifford's sake, let's just assume that it was, okay?
So, yeah. It was. Good.
This is the strongest, most comprehensive commentary I could find. Articles about Gifford's recovery don't mention any of the issues surrounding the shooting.
What the fuck America.
Loughner likely to stand trial eventually
He isn't mentally competent yet.
Before God created Las he pondered on all the aspects a woman might have, he considered which ones would look good super-inflated and which ones to leave alone.
After much deliberation he gave her a giant comfort zone. - Michael

System Explorer Portable 4.0.0
System Explorer Portable Editor's Review
Keeping your system clean and secure is not an easy task, especially if you use the default applications offered by Microsoft. Installing additional programs might become a frustrating job, especially if the results are confusing. So, what better thing to do but to try out System Explorer: an application that combines both the clean aspect and security issue of your computer.
System Explorer is not an antivirus, nor a registry cleaner. It's more of an upgraded Windows Task Manager with additional features. Not only that you can view all the active processes, startup applications, system services, but you can also see details from each enumerated component based on the producer's own data base (which is quite impressive). In case you want further details related to a single process or application, System Explorer offers access to third party web sites such as ProcessLibrary.com or Google.com. At startup, it can also perform a virus scan with an online antivirus tool. This way you can detect any harmful process and search its roots.
System Explorer comes with a left side tree panel from which you can choose all its main features and a Windows like menu from which you can choose to build a system report, or to access all the system utilities present in Windows operating system. There is also a live icon hidden in the taskbar from where you can check your system usage: CPU usage, memory usage, swap usage, battery usage (in case you run the application on a laptop). Unfortunately you have to rely on your knowledge about computers and your intuition, as System Explorer comes with no hints, system or a virtual manual. In case you are stuck, all you can do is to access the Online Help which at this moment is not available.
Compared to the normal Windows Task Manager, System Explorer offers a new level of control in manipulating any active process or application. You can set priorities for any selected process, delete items from startup or uninstall applications.
Pluses: free, free home-build database, high level of processes control, live system usage monitor, ProcessLibrary.com integrated, online virus scan;
Drawbacks/flaws: no helping guidelines;
In conclusion: A complete task manager with unique features that gives full access and rights to manipulate any kind of process, service or application.
System Explorer Portable Publisher's Description

By Missy Ryan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As the Taliban kicks off its spring fighting season in Afghanistan, an agreement with Pakistan that would help NATO supply its troops there could be weeks or months away, forcing military leaders to spend two-and-a-half times as much to ship some supplies through Central Asia.
The Obama administration remains locked in negotiations with Pakistan to reopen the key supply routes into Afghanistan, and officials do not expect talks bogged down over proposed tariffs and U.S. military assistance to reach resolution anytime soon.
The continued closure of ground routes, which Islamabad shut after two dozen of its soldiers were killed by NATO aircraft in November, poses one more challenge to U.S. President Barack Obama's already troubled campaign in Afghanistan.
A deal is almost certainly impossible before May 20-21, when Obama will host NATO leaders in his hometown of Chicago. There, Western leaders will define plans for moving out of Afghanistan and for funding local troops they hope can contain a resilient insurgency when NATO withdraws.
A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that talks in Islamabad between Pakistani and U.S. officials on supply routes, were continuing this week, but "no decisions are imminent."
"There's value in continuing to have those discussions, but there's no sense those talks are going to turn into decisions" shortly, the official said.
A deal would require agreement on Pakistan's proposal to impose tariffs on NATO supplies, including how tariffs would be formulated, where that money would go, and how the West would ensure those funds were being used appropriately.
Another issue stalling the talks is disagreement over how much the United States should reimburse Pakistan for counter-terrorism activity by Pakistani forces.
The United States believes it owes Pakistan about $1 billion in arrears for that program, called Coalition Support Funds, while Pakistan contends the figure is much higher, perhaps over three times as much. The Pentagon has approved over $8.8 billion in military reimbursements for Pakistan since 2002.
Once those arrears have been paid, both countries appear to want to set up a new arrangement for providing U.S. financial support for Pakistan's anti-militant activities.
Pakistan's supply routes have been closed since the November 26 cross-border NATO air attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers and plunged already tumultuous ties between the two uneasy allies to their lowest point in years.
Before their closure, the two land supply routes through Pakistan accounted for just under a third of all cargo that the NATO-led force in Afghanistan shipped there. The closure has held up thousands of tons of equipment.
Pakistan has said it will impose tariffs on ports and roads used by NATO, in part to express Pakistani outrage over the border deaths and in part to shore up funding for its fight against militants that target the Pakistani state.
The Pentagon says the route closure has not yet had a real impact on the fight in Afghanistan. "Obviously it gets more challenging as we get closer to 2014," the U.S. official said, when most foreign combat troops will make their way home.
In a report released this week, the Defense Department warned that a prolonged closure of the supply routes could "significantly degrade" withdrawal operations as NATO nations try to establish a modicum of stability in Afghanistan before most of their troops are pulled out at the end of 2014.
While the Taliban has been pushed out of some areas since 2009, when Obama began a troop surge designed to turn around a long-neglected war, the insurgency remains resilient.
The talks come as the Obama administration tries to repair ties with Pakistan also damaged by U.S. drone strikes in Pakistani tribal areas and the U.S. raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan last year.
They also come at a sensitive moment in Pakistan, where the parliament has approved recommendations from its national security committee on ties with the United States, including a demand to end drone strikes and an apology for the soldiers' deaths.
"Certainly the domestic situation in Pakistan has a role to play" in the negotiations, the U.S. official said.

After powering through my first mapmaking process here and taking quite a few lumps along the way, for my next project I was wondering if anyone with a little more solid graphics background would like to collaborate with me. As I have a background in GIS I can easily put together all the base geography for a map quite easily using ArcView. It's when the map needs further polishing in Photoshop, etc. that my skills are lacking.
Anyway, just thought I would put this out there.

I finally got a pair of decent earbuds with inline mic to use with my Atrix 4G and for video/GTalk use on my Thrive. I'd love to also be able to use them on my laptop – I'm about to start a new job where I'll be doing a lot of video conferencing and VOIP calling. Is there an adapter that will take that single 3.5mm stereo & mic plug on the headset and split in into separate 3.5mm mic and stereo plugs for my laptop? Monoprice.com, my go-to resource for cables and adapters, doesn't have one – I emailed their product support team to double check. I can't figure out the right search terms to find one elsewhere. So if anyone has one and can link me to it, that would be super-helpful!
Thomas Taylor
Just had to look a little harder – here's the one I got, since it's the same brand as my 'buds.

MINI John Cooper Works GP II officially revealed
As we predicted over a month ago, MINI chose its MINI United event to pull the wraps off its fastest model yet, the John Cooper Works GP II.
Claimed extensive use of motor sport technology, means that prototypes have already lapped the infamous Nurburgring circuit in 8 minutes and 23 seconds. This is almost 19 seconds faster than than the first GP that also debuted at MINI United in 2006.
Again limited to 2,000 cars, GP II is identified by its unique thunder grey colour and GP decals, a body kit with red detailing and a revised version of the four-spoke wheels with uprated brakes.
Other unique body parts for the GP include a bespoke rear wing and diffuser.
Inside, like the first car, GP II is just a two-seater, with a stowage box where the rear seats used to be.
Apart from the Nurburgring lap figure, performance and engine details are scarce, these will be revealed closer to the GP II's on-sale date at the Paris Motor Show in September.

I embraced Islam recently thanks to Allah. I was brought up and am living now in a Hindu society, which is a very bad environment that hinders me from clinching to my ne religion. My question here specifically is about prayers, my parents are very narrow-minded who hate to hear any thing about new Muslims, so how can they know that their daughter has entered Islam!? So I am hiding my faith, hence the problem, as I can't pray at our very small home where everyone's move is felt. Once my mother saw me praying, and from that moment she is monitoring me very closely restricting my behavior. In work, situation is worse as I can never pray. That's why I make ablution preparing to prayers and just when the time of a prayer is due, I do pray while sitting down to my desk, I do forms of prayers inside my heart, but when I am home, I can more freely wait for an opportunity to make prayers more suitably, otherwise I have to pray laying down or sitting or alike. My situation is very complex, sometimes I start praying then suddenly stop it pretending as doing something else once hearing my mother's voice, what's your advice?
Also, what's ruling on necessity of covering face and hands during praying, is it compulsory in general? What about it in my special case? Are my prayers accepted without covering face and hands?
I want to add a fact about me, I am facing multi problems and difficulties so I find in praying an outlet and great relief to myself, just entering Salat (prayers) supplicating to Allah, I feel immediately relaxation and chest delight, and hope comes back again.
I don't know Arabic, should I be rewarded when reading Quran in English? Most of my prayers are also in English, accepted? But I am learning Arabic gradually and soon insha Allah I can perform all prayers in Arabic.
Kindly advice as I don't have muslim friends except one or two muslims who are not much of Islamic following and religiousness, nor have I a nearby place where I can lear Islam, only Internet. By the way, thanks a lot for your useful site and great favor you do for people.
First of all, we are happy to congratulate you on the great blessing that Allah has bestowed upon you, which is the blessing of Islam. Perhaps you felt the greatness of this blessing because of what you have seen in the changes in your situation and your feeling content, happy and peaceful. All of that is what Allah gives to those who utter the Shahaadatayn (twin declaration of faith) and that blessing increases as you act upon the rulings of Islam. We ask Allah to make you steadfast in adhering to His religion and to complete His blessings upon you both outwardly and inwardly.
You should note two important issues that have to do with prayer:
There is no excuse for the Muslim not to pray, no matter what his circumstances. In the case of a woman, she stops praying at the time of menstruation and nifaas (postpartum bleeding), but apart from that there is no excuse for anyone not to pray. The fighter on the battlefield prays, the one who is in prison prays, the one who is sick prays; that is because of the great importance of this obligatory duty according to the laws of Allah.
In the event of extreme or unusual difficulty in performing some religious duties, then Allah make it easier for him (by granting concessions). Because Islam enjoins the Muslim to pray no matter what the circumstances, there may be some concessions with regard to the rulings. So he should do whatever he can, and whatever he cannot do or is too difficult for him to do, is waived in his case.
In your situation, as you have described it to us, we say to you:
You should note that the basic principle concerning prayer is that it should be offered in a state of purity, covering the body, facing the qiblah and doing all the essential parts ("pillars") and obligatory parts, adhering to the times prescribed in sharee'ah. Part of the easy nature of this religion is that it pays attention to the circumstances and situations of people who are praying, and it does not enjoin the Muslim to do what he is unable to do or what is too difficult for him to do. There may be a sick person in his bed, or a fighter on the battlefield, or a prisoner who is tied up, or one who is afraid to practice his Islam openly and pray openly – as in your case. In all these cases and similar cases, people are not required to do anything except that which is within their capability, and whatever they cannot do is waived. At the same time it is confirmed that their prayer is valid and they do not have to repeat it at all.
In many of our answers we have stated that which is appropriate to your situation of rulings having to do with your prayer, such as the following:
1. It is permissible for you to do the essential parts and obligatory parts of the prayer whilst sitting or lying down, making gestures to indicate bowing and prostrating.
2. It is permissible for you to put two prayers together if it is not possible for you to offer each prayer at its own time, or if there is sufficient time for you to offer two prayers together when you are in the best state with regard to purity, clothing and being able to do the essential parts and obligatory parts. So you could put Zuhr and 'Asr together at the time of either of them, and put Maghrib and 'Isha' together at the time of either of them. This is a concession granted by sharee'ah to everyone who is in a situation such as yours. In fact, if you are unable even to do this and you cannot offer each prayer at the right time even if you are sitting or lying down, or by gesturing, and you are not able to put two prayers together in the manner described, then you should offer whatever you can at the proper time, and for the prayers that you miss, you can offer them at whatever time is easy for you, when you are away from where your family can see you.
3. If you cannot do wudoo' or ghusl, then tayammum is acceptable in your case as an alternative to them.
For more information on the issues mentioned above, see the answer to question no. 100627
4. It is permissible to you to interrupt the prayer if you are afraid that any of your family members will see you praying.
See the answer to question no. 65682.
5. It is permissible for you to pray in a clean bathroom if you cannot find any other place in which to pray.
See the answer to question no. 153572
6. Until you can learn Arabic and memorise Soorat al-Faatihah, you can say instead of al-Faatihah, Subhaan Allah wa'l-hamdu Lillah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allah wa Allahu akbar (Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no God but Allah, and Allah is Most Great), and continue to avail yourself of this concession until you are able to memorise this soorah. Perhaps you know that reciting it in the prayer is one of the essential parts or pillars of the prayer, so make it the first thing that you learn in Arabic and that you memorise of the Qur'aan.
See also the answer to question no. 3471.
7. The supplication (du'aa') when bowing and prostrating does not have to be in Arabic, unlike the phrases that are prescribed in the prayer. So you can offer supplication in your own language regarding matters of this world and the Hereafter.
See the answer to question no. 20953
8. The same may be said concerning your clothing and hijab during prayer. If you can pray fully covered – everything except the face and hands – then do that. If the time for prayer is too short and you cannot put on the Hijab, then pray in whatever clothes you are wearing.
To sum up, you should do whatever you are able to do of the requirements of prayer, and whatever you are not able to do is waived in your case. Do not worry about whether the prayer is invalid or having to repeat it, because the prayer is valid and there is no need to repeat it. This is an example of the easy-going nature of Islam. And you can continue availing yourself of the concessions granted in sharee'ah until Allah make things easy for you and you are able to follow the rulings on prayer in full, and we hope that will be soon.
But we advise you not to hasten to disclose your Islam or pray openly if you fear that your family may cause you trouble and that you will not be able to bear their annoyance and harm.
We ask Allah to bless your family with guidance and to make things easy for you, and to decree for you a full and abundant reward for your struggle and patience, and to grant you a way out from the situation you are in.
We hope that you will not hesitate to correspond with us and we will give your questions a special importance in light of your situation. May Allah help you and take care of you.
And Allah knows best.

I've changed my Tutorial a little bit to make it easier to read. Just a heads up
Linux Emulation in FreeBSD -
To get Linux emulation to work, do this:
Make sure you are Root!
As root, type this into your shell:
kldload linux
This loads it for you, but, you can also make it so that it be loaded at boot so you don't have to type it all the time:
You can start by typing this:
vi /etc/rc.conf
Use the Arrow key to move down to the bottom, and then, when you get to the VERY last line of this text file, and you're at the very beginning of it, press the "End" Key, on your keyboard, so you're at the end of that line.
Now Press "a" on the keyboard to start to Enter in Text AFTER that line. You can press Enter to after you pressed "a" if you aren't on a new line.
Now, type this:
After you type that, press the Escape key to go to command mode in Vi, and then press the ":" and then "w" and then "q" and then press Enter. This saves the text in Vi and leaves Vi.
Or you can open that file as root with a text editor you know how to use too, of course, and then just save it once you've typed that line in.
Now, once you've done this, you can do this:
pkg_add -r aim
That will install AIM, which requires the Linux Base. (By the way, if you're wondering why I'm not just saying to grab the Compatibility Layer Packages, it's because it's a lot more typing =) ) and anyway, once it starts to grab AIM, it will NOW grab the Linux packages, and actually work now !

Now, once you've done this, you can do this:
pkg_add -r aim
That port has been deprecated in May 2011.
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
I was using those mostly as examples, and when you use pkg_add -r aim, it actually will grab the Linux base for you, as a dependency, so that's why I did that.
I'm REALLY not sure why he replied to this though with something I said. It's literally word for word what I said.... Which is just weird.

I didn't even notice that. It might be a spammer. I've seen it happen on TAZ too. Some bot regurgitates half of someone else's post. Some other bot comes along a few days later to post the "answer". Or the original posting bot returns and edits it's posts to add spammy links.
Hmm, I'll keep watch, and see if he responds to any more posts like that, and if so, I'll just track his IP and see if any other accounts are using it, and if so, what THOSE accounts have posted, and go from there.
Good catch though; I'd have just thought that someone was replying to the thread and didn't know how to quote, and messed up a reply or something. If it's a spam bot though, I'll just ban them and the other accounts linked to that IP and report the IP, Account name, and reason, to the mods section so the rest of them can kind of keep an eye out on it.

Jeez. Yuuno, I kinda expected, even though he had some pretty critical parts (teleporting Fate in to help save Nanoha, holding off Vita so Nanoha goes unmolested until Shamal shows up, etc). I presume they'll stick him in the library early and leave him there.
But Arf? She's the one that clashes with Zafira each time and holds him off! Unless they plan to drastically minimize that, too.
Also.. no Lieze twins? There goes some of Chrono's moments. Is there any character they won't minimize to focus on their beloved? Does everyone exist just to give glory to the almighty?
I am sadly amused by their "troubled deciding on the main character even though Nanoha is in the title" comment. I read that as "Hmm, Nanoha is in the title and Hayate is a big part... but how do we make this all about Fate?"
Man, color me cynical today, even more so than normal. But this is really adding to my fears about how they plan to cut A's down to size. The true test will be if they cut Fate's absorption into the book. I don't think they will, even though it's an easy thing to cut to save time.

Except that StrikerS actually had other characters with leading roles. Teana and Subaru had major parts in StrikerS. Even Nanoha's development was more Nanoha and Vivio than it was Nanoha and Fate.
On Arf and Zafira... while these two did clash every time they met, their fights mostly happened off-screen. I'd say they're planning to do the same here.
I'm going to be the voice of positivity here and assume that the "lead character" thing is about Hayate. A's itself was more Hayate's story to begin with, so for the movie they might well decide to focus more there and less on Nanoha.

That's just the nature of things. Yeah, it sucks when your favourite characters get shoved into the background, but we're talking about 1.5 hour long movies here. It can't be avoided unless you want a horribly cramped and rushed movie.
A TV series is less excusable because you have 13-26 episodes to flesh characters out.

Fpr dsopme reason i disagree with those who said MOVIE 1st did a horrible job with side characters. Sure, Nanoha's family got their time incredibly reduced but they're still introduced to the audience and , like i said before, most of the key scenes with Suzuka and Arisa make it's way into the film.
It's a shame Yuuno is left out of the battlefield but i think there still be some scenes with him apporting something to the plot(exposition, what else xDU), and the Lieze Twins dissapearance hopefully will be used to improve a little on the character who will remain. I wonder if we get the bit when Arisa and Suzuka got trapped inside the barrier during the climatic battle against Reinforce xD.

For minor characters with no bearing on the plot they're lucky enough to be even shown to still exist. I like them too but Alisa and Suzuka had no impact on Nanoha and Fate's conflict, and neither did Nanoha's family. There is nothing structurally wrong with reducing their role.
Taking Yuuno out of action is fine, because his big contribution to the plot was his work at the library. All Suzuka has to do is meet Hayate and be the one to introduce her to Nanoha. If she gets no other screen time then that's fine.

A shame but i agree with you, hope that Arisa manage to get her cameo in an say some lines(what can i say? i like Rie Kugimiya's voice xD).
Wonder if we get a expanded "Yagami family moments" segway or maybe some animated depiction of the Wolkenritter's past, that would be cool.

Seeing as how Fate's family got expanded on (which was plot relevant, btw) in the first movie, I would like to think more focus will be put on the Yagami family dimension in this movie.
But if they haven't decided on the main character yet, popularity considerations may win out and the focus will be on Fate and the Harlaowns.

Please don't turn the A's movie thread into another "Fate is shafting other characters" debate. She wasn't even mentioned this time, and already people are assuming it. Who the main character is aside, he might have meant that each of the three aces might have their opportunity to be the main character. He mentioned something about the main character being the one who saves people from their despair, or something to that extent...
Especially Kaijo who pretty much put words into Tsuzuki's mouth.

Well there is no precedent outside of "lol Fate is popular."
I got someone else to translate the sentence Mow Yun wasn't sure of.
"Nanoha continues being the main character like in the previous one, but like in the TV version the worrying, hesitating and being troubled will not be the story's focus for the most part."
He said it has strange sentence structure, but that should be right.
Being the main character in one of Tsuzuki's story just means you're destined to be a necessity towards the final battle. Not like it's some huge importance or anything.

Lubbock, TX
AddressView Map3511 10th St. , Lubbock, TX 79415 Phone: 806.745.0700Fax: 806.744.2915
About Our Facility
The Society opened the doors of the Lubbock Hope Lodge in June 2010, with the 32-room facility offering free lodging and transportation to and from treatment for cancer patients – saving them an estimated $1.3 million annually in hotel expenses.
Hope Lodge Lubbock is unique – the first Hope Lodge in Texas. It also serves a unique niche by being located outside a major metropolitan area. Nationally, the priority has been to locate Hope Lodges in large cities, but it was medical professionals and community leaders in Lubbock who recognized the tremendous need for this primarily rural region.
Staff and Volunteers
American Cancer Society volunteers serve a vital role in our day-to-day operations. There are many tasks and chores available to the willing volunteer. Tasks include helping with light housework, managing the hospitality desk, organizing complimentary guest dinners, facilitating group activities, and raising funds to support the daily operations of Hope Lodge.
To volunteer or discuss an opportunity, please contact our Assistant Director Mark Stephens by phone at 806.745.0702 or by email at email@example.com
Guests often have questions prior to their arrival. Our hospitality staff can answer most questions. To reach a member of our team, call the Front Desk at 806.745.0700.
Although taking a tour of Hope Lodge prior checking into the Hope Lodge is not always convenient, we recommend that the patient and caregiver do so if possible. Our staff guarantees to make you feel welcome long before you arrive to stay at the Hope Lodge.

History of Hope Lodge
The American Cancer Society has a long history of providing lifesaving programs and services and is committed to improving quality of life for patients and their families. Getting the right care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city, which places even more of an emotional and financial burden during what is already a challenging time.
The American Cancer Society is trying to make this difficult situation easier for cancer patients and their families through Hope Lodges – free, temporary housing facilities for cancer patients who are undergoing treatment. But Hope Lodges are more than just a place to stay – they provide a home-like nurturing environment, so patients can get support from others going through the same experience. A cancer survivor's recovery involves much more than medical treatments; it takes hope to heal. Hope Lodge offers the warmth and security of home in a setting where the love and encouragement of others enlighten and inspire guests. At Hope Lodge, guests rally around each other, building life-affirming connections and lifetime friendships.
Hope Lodge is also a place to learn about cancer and how best to fight the disease. Guests have access to the American Cancer Society's 24-hour toll-free call center, Web site, and comprehensive on-site libraries full of information. At Hope Lodge, cancer patients and their loved ones are armed with the vital information to help them make informed decisions.
In addition to a comfortable and resourceful environment, Hope Lodge also provides convenient accommodations such as private rooms and bathrooms, with space for a family member or caregiver. Lodges offer kitchen facilities and rooms for gathering to watch TV or to share encouragement. Transportation to nearby treatment is also provided through the Lodges. A complete listing of Hope Lodge locations can be found at cancer.org/hopelodge.

Meme Ensemble
A meme is an idea virus - one which enters the culture and transforms it through its presence. Some memes survive the test of time and others are later revealed as merely trends. MEME, the ensemble, seeks to both present music that has survived the selective process, and to play an active role in
dentifying and bringing to the performing stage current ideas they believe will impact the history of music.
The emphasis on programming is extremely important. MEME strives to create programs where audiences can experience how the music of Brahms, Beethoven, or other historically significant composers can influence how we hear contemporary music, and vice versa. It is the ensemble's aim is to communicate to audiences their joy in finding these musical expressions, and to convey where music has come from and where it could be headed.
The MEME artists: Barry Crawford, flute; Michael Norsworthy and Carol McGonnell, clarinets; Harumi Rhodes, violin; Liuh-wen Ting, viola; Caroline Stinson, cello; Molly Morkoski, piano; and Alex Lipowski, percussion, are uniquely accomplished chamber musicians, like-minded in their desire to play music from all eras, presenting programs where each musical element informs the rest.
MEME has worked with many of today's leading composers such as John Adams, Gerald Barry, George Benjamin, Pierre Boulez, Elliott Carter, John Corigliano, John Harbison, Aaron Jay Kernis, Oliver Knussen, George Perle, Steven Stucky, Andrew Waggoner, and Anna Weesner.

text: Student Profiles Desneige Hallbert '05 Desneige Hallbert '05 Hometown: Belfast, Maine Major: Gender and Women's Studies with a minor in Theater Why did you come to Bowdoin? Well, first of all, two very influential people in my life both went here: my soccer coach and my senior year English teacher. I also didn't do very [well] on my SATs and Bowdoin didn't [require] SATs, which I thought was great. [The school] really took the person into account. Also, [the College] had a Maine Day, where my best friend from high school and I got to come down here to look at Bowdoin and it was a beautiful day. It was gorgeous. I loved the campus, I liked our tour. Everything about it seemed really nice. My mother and I think that I probably compared every other campus I looked at to Bowdoin. How did you decide on your major? Women's Studies - I had never studied anything like that before. I always knew I was kind of prone to feminism, just because, growing up, I always wanted to compete with the boys. I didn't think it was fair to just have to compete with the girls in sports. But I never thought there was a study of it. When I came here I thought, "Come on, Women's Studies? What? That's weird." It never occurred to me to take a course until I [performed in] The Vagina Monologues my freshman year. I was having a tough time here - I wasn't sure where I wanted to go or what I was doing, and I felt a little scatterbrained. Then I did the show and felt really connected to the people. And at the end of the show, when you're supposed to stand up if you have ever been or know someone who has been sexually assaulted, and over half the audience stood up, it affected me. Here I was, in this play, and I just made contact with all these people about such a pressing issue. So then in the fall, I petitioned to get into Feminist Theory and Methodology. You're supposed to take that class after Women's Studies 101, but they didn't offer Women's Studies 101 in the fall, and I really wanted to find out if Women's Studies was what I wanted to do. I ended up really liking the course. It really just made sense to me. Ever since, I've been doing Women's Studies. I always liked theater in high school, so I came here and took theater courses. My proctor freshman year always said that you should take three academic courses and then one that's a dance course or a painting course - one that uses the other side of your brain because you'll be much less stressed that way. I've really taken that to heart, and theater was that outlet for me. What has been your favorite class? My Women's Studies 101 course was really fun. I remember jaw-dropping lectures, where I thought, "Oh my god, that's so true!" I really liked my Gender, Film, and Consumer Culture course. I actually didn't buy a single article of clothing for that entire semester because it got me thinking. I've also liked many of my theater courses. [I] did this collaborative one called Ensemble Performance, which was really cool. Have you studied away during your time at Bowdoin? Yes. I studied in Kingston, Jamaica. I was feeling that, because I hadn't taken any of my major courses freshman year, I probably needed to catch up, so going on a program that was specifically about gender and women's studies was appropriate. It was definitely an enlightening experience. I liked [staying in] the rural village the best. I got really close to my Jamaican mother there. There were just so many things concerning gender that I learned that I just [thought], "Wow, where do we begin?" I did a research project on gender socialization in the rural village in Jamaica. One of the things that was difficult about being there was that I never really felt like I could do anything or help. If I was having a really bad day, I always remembered that I could go back home, but that Jamaica was their reality. [I said], "My reality isn't this - I'm very lucky." I'm still in touch with my mother there, too. What extracurricular activities do you participate in? Do you have an on-campus job? Well, I've had many on-campus jobs. I've been a librarian, I've worked at the dining hall in the dishroom. I was also a teaching assistant at one point for psychology. Mostly I've been working at the Women's Resource Center, monitoring at night, and lately I've been helping the director [of the WRC]. I just love that space. I've been [studying] a bit of the history of it. In 1972, Bowdoin became co-ed, and for about ten years, it was hard [for women] because Bowdoin was still dominated by the fraternities. It was still male-dominated, and women didn't even have a gynecologist on campus. [Some women at Bowdoin] fought really hard to get one, and now we have five, which is kind of funny. But in 1980, two years after the Bowdoin Women's Association was formed, they got the Women's Resource Center. Now the WRC is a great place to gather for groups. There's so much history in there - I like that. My extracurriculars have mostly revolved around women's issues. I've participated in the Bowdoin Women's Association since sophomore year and now I'm one of the five heads. I've been very involved with VDay - directing VDay and The Vagina Monologues my sophomore year, and also co-directing the show this year. I've never had to experience some of the realities that we hear about in The Vagina Monologues, but for some reason I still have this passion. I want to use the talents that I do have to make others aware. That kind of experience - being raped - I can only imagine is horrific, and many times people are just so scared that they can't tell [anyone about] it, and sometimes I feel like I'm able to be that voice in a way. I've come to think that that's why I'm here - because I'm able to reach out. VDay's major goal is to end violence against women and girls. It's very important to me to reach out to people about these issues and make sure that that people continue to fight for a safe world. I'm on the Safe Space hotline. Safe Space is the sexual assault hotline on campus that involves a 30-hour training with Sexual Assault Support Services of Midcoast Maine. Basically, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, we offer an open hotline for people to call if something happens and they need someone to talk to. I'm big into dance here. I've tried quite a few dance groups - the hip-hop group, VAGUE, the Indian dance group, and I'm doing belly dancing now. I've done Irish step dancing. It's one of my passions. What is your best Bowdoin memory? This is silly, but it was spring of freshman year. It was the first time I finally felt at home at Bowdoin. I was with a bunch of girls that I really enjoyed being with. I loved going on the Quad with sleeping bags and blankets and hanging out. Ivies Weekend was fun because we had this big concert outside and it was just fun getting to know so many people. I liked that. Something that's [also] a fond memory is going to the March for Women's Lives. That was really awesome to go with a bunch of Bowdoin women and march on campus and down in D.C. For the March for Women's Lives, over a million people marched on Washington to proclaim that the choice to have an abortion should be a legal right for all women. We actually got 80 Bowdoin women to go down. That was a really big event, taking a bus all night, getting there that day, marching, and then leaving that night. And there was a puppet that a friend and I made. It actually came to me in a dream - a huge uterus puppet with fallopian tubes and maraca ovaries. The uterus said, "My Body, My Choice." People said it looked like a lobster, and I [said], "Well, I guess that's what uteruses in Maine look like!" What are your plans after graduation? I do have a job. It kind of fell in my lap. I was sitting down for a meeting with my professor and she said, "You're applying for the PIRGs right?" And I said, "Well, I don't know, I don't really have time," and she said, "Go over there right now and give them your resume." So I ran over to submit my resume and the next day, I had an interview. Then [my interviewer] invited me to the second interview in Boston [the following weekend]. So at six o'clock in the morning, three other students and I drove down to Boston and spent nine o'clock until five-thirty at the PIRG office. They called me up four days latter to offer me a job. PIRG [stands for] Public Interest Research Groups - they have them all over the country. Mostly it's about environmental issues, hunger issues, and public health. There were two opportunities - the campus organizer or the fellowship. I wanted to [be a] campus organizer because I really like to organize and I wouldn't mind being on a college campus again. I think college students are an untapped resource sometimes. A lot of times we get caught up in our work and our futures and we forget that we're a part of a greater picture. PIRG is one [organization] that tries to mobilize students and teaches them to be informed citizens. It's a great program. It's going to teach me a lot about organizing with the media and organizing events, not just at the college level. Is there anything else about Bowdoin or your experiences here that you would like prospective students to know? Always remember that you're at college - if you want to start something, you really can. But also, don't get too caught up in your studies. I mean, you should, but don't let it rule your life, because you'll forget about the good stuff that's here, and that's meeting people and trying new things that you haven't done before. One way to do that is to take three academic courses and then take something that makes your mind work in a different way. You'll be so much happier for that. It's the chance for you to relax and de-stress a little bit. Story posted on March 18, 2005 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

The Art of Tailoring
Genius of the land
Penne is Brioni and Brioni is Penne. With its cobblestone streets, dramatic castle, enchanting landscape, and its long winters and quiet summers, this calm town in the Abruzzo region provides the perfect environment for craftmanship and dedication. Penne is home to the heart of the Italian men's tailoring tradition. In fact, tailoring has always run in the blood and in the unsurpassed manual expertise of Penne's population. In 1959, Nazareno Fonticoli – one of Brioni's founders and among Rome's most renowned tailors – and his business partner Gaetano Savini pioneered the idea of prêt-á-couture, creating a tailoring atelier of industrial proportion in Penne. For this ambitious endeavor, Fonticoli cogently opened it in his hometown, gathering the most skilled of the local tailors. They christened it Brioni Roman Style, with its Roman perspective and endemic Abruzzian values.
