White Hills are good - especially excellent live, if you like your space-rock that is.
The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers sounded good on paper when I read a profile of them, but when I heard the album I was sorely disappointed - not much cop at all.

yeah White Hills are pretty good. Not heard The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers.

Was at the Invada Invasion yesterday. On paper, seeing Crippled Black Phoenix, Zu, Mogwai, Gonga and Fuck Buttons seems incredible value for money, right? Here's why it wasn't...
The legendarily bad sound at the Colston Hall
I have never seen a band with a decent sound here but the refurbishment work, if anything, has made the main hall stage worse. CBP lose all the bottom end to their sound and before they get to grips with it, it's like watching a 'Misplaced Childhood'-era Marillion tribute band in the back room of a pub. Mogwai, however, are a complete abortion. When it's quiet it's fine, but as soon as any volume gets added all you can hear is the keyboards, the bass drum, a ridiculously clean bass tone and parts of one of the guitar lines (the most conventional metal one) - the rest is an indistinct racket, but a very quiet one. The net result is they very nearly get QUIETER in the loud bits of quiet/loud. This also means there are other problems, but more on them later.
The new 'Hall 2' actually has very nearly decent sound but Gonga are the only decent band in there so it's hard to judge, particularly since there are so few people in there (shy of a wave of <1 minute visitors at the end of the Mogwai set) that the sound bounces round uncontrolled. Neither this, nor the lack of a vocalist (Christ knows where Matt is, and no Joe Volk reunuion materialises) deters them though and they run a whole 100% over their allocated time over just 4 extended stoner jams.
By default then, Gonga become the best band of the day because the 'Foyer Performance Area' is just that. It's a low stage outside the cafe that you have to watch by hanging over balconies. In other words, you are watching a band AT THE BOTTOM OF A STAIRWELL. Zu make by far the best fist of this, and are as good as ever, but - and it's worth repeating - THEY ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF A STAIRWELL. This does not have a cool Link Wray effect as you might have hoped but is more like listening in to what's playing in the downstairs flat. Fuck Buttons probably get the closest to overcoming it but only because so few people are left by then you can get into the cafe where the sound is at least acceptable.
Geoff's idea of what makes a festival
This was supposed to be inspired by Supersonic and ATP, but it differs in one crucial aspect - THERE ARE THINGS TO DO AT THOSE. Invada 'schedule' bands by putting them all on at different times with almost no overlap (literally, over the whole day there is possibly only 15 minutes where there are two thing on) so people shuffle round standing in front of things they have no interest in for something to do. The advertised art gallery turns out to be 6 pieces from Geoff's shop stood in a corner, the merch area is an Invada shop and Amnesty don't exactly fill much time. The hall themselves have made no effort with the bar - in fact, they run out of everything - and Geoff can't be arsed to do anything as simple as set up a Caribbean food stand. MUST TRY HARDER.
Also, having a word with the venue might have been a good idea. Seriously, having my ticket checked three times between leaving the foyer and the main hall - about 20 yards - is a massive pain in the fucking arse.
The Bristol crowd
Fuck knows what was going on here, but the audience is mainly made up of people here because it's what they're supposed to do. This means that at most bands there is a whole pile of people (maybe over 50%) scratching their heads at what's going on and BORED. In the queue for the gents (check this out, some FUCKING GENIUS refurbed the toilet so it takes a WHOPPING 6 PEOPLE) I hear two blokes having an earnest debate about whether Coldplay or U2 are more cutting edge - "Viva La Vida is maybe the best album ever made" vs "You can't deny that for more than the past 10 years every time they've put an album out it's raised the bar in experimentation for the whole world" - but EVERYBODY talks through EVERYTHING. The people behind us during Team Brick's ill-conceived piece (seriously Matt, I love you but this was the sort of self-indulgent bollocks you'd expect from a sixth former being told he could use an orchestra for the first time) talk about yachting to France with Jonty, and how this was interesting because they'd only heard of 'real' bands like Kasabian doing stuff with an orchestra although Elton must have done it at some point and wasn't he great at the County Ground? Braithwaite's wife freaks out at it during 'Cody' that these people aren't paying attention to the one her husband sings. (Compare and contrast with Geoff's wife, who falls out with him before it has even started for daring to spend some time RUNNING HIS OWN FUCKING FESTIVAL and not spending every minute with her...) SHUT THE FUCK UP. Maybe it's because I see nearly as many wristbands and passes as people with tickets...
Ultimately, the best option would have been to turn up without a ticket and just hang about the front door. There was next to no sound reduction from the noise in the foyer so you could have seen Thought Forms, Zu, Fuzz Against Junk and Fuck Buttons with a better view and not worse sound than anybody inside FOR FREE. I wish I had, to be honest.

i went and i thought it was great. didn't think the sound in the main hall was bad at all, or the second hall, and when thoughtforms played in the foyer, the several floors of natural reverb above them made them sound immense. and i really didn't miss any of the non-musical festival sideshow stuff, because i guess in my head it was more like zipping between the rooms of the RFH in london than even something like ATP.
thought the crowd was cool for the most part, though people lying on the floor during gonga was annoying. some crazy ecstasy dancing from some pretty weird dudes in the audience at the end of fuck buttons too.

So, Barrow's Judge Dredd inspired record with Ben Salisbury. Halfway through and it's a good John Carpenter homage with some Vangelis thrown in there. http://drokk.bandcamp.com/

It's not on Invada, but man, Quakers is fucking great. Also the podcast for Stones Throw (mixed by 7Stu7, I think) about a month ago. Silver Apples, KMD, Joe Meek, Gang Starr, Public Enemy, mmm.

Invada Twitter confirms that new Beak> stuff will follow the release of the Drive OST vinyl. I'm very much looking forward to it.
and yeah, my only complaint with the Quakers album is that it's too long and that the length makes the MCs blur into one another. but I don't think that's an entirely valid complaint.

"We can make anything look sexy."
A bold statement, perhaps, but it's easy to trust coming from boudoir photographer Lori Sapio. The 24-year industry veteran has shot for publications like Vogue Italia and Playboy, so she clearly knows a thing or 10 about sexy. Of course, Vogue sexy and Playboy sexy are two very different things, and that's kind of the point here.
At her Chicago studio, Revival Pinups, the photographer resists forcing some cookie-cutter definition of sexy onto clients. "I let it be a collaboration," Lori said, "so my clients have their own voice." So if you're a first-time model, there's your first tip: speak up. The idea of a boudoir shoot might seem inherently daunting, but you only have to do what you're comfortable with.
We talked to Lori about what happens in your typical photo shoot, including eight things you don't have to do.
You don't have to know what you're doing.
"For most people, it starts as a nerve-racking experience," Lori said. "It's like an exercise class and I'm their instructor. I instruct them the whole way and help them with their posing. Most people don't have any idea [what to do], or they had some ideas before they walked through the doors, but everything kind of goes away once they come in."
(That doesn't mean you can't come in with ideas. Feel free to bring pictures, Pinterest boards, or magazines as inspiration.)
You don't have to take yourself too seriously.
"A lot of people like to be serious and sexy," Lori said, but a mix of expressions will give you more photo options. She also tries to make people smile and laugh to get some shots on the sweeter end of the sexy spectrum.
As for posing, she suggests you relax and just keep moving to avoid obsessing over every movement and facial expression. "Once [people] start slowing down, people start thinking more, second-guessing facial expressions or how their body looks. If [the shoot] is fast and moving, then they don't really think about it as much and it helps the nerves go away quicker."
You don't have to dress up as someone else.
If you don't wear a lot of makeup in your everyday life, you might not want to spackle on the cosmetics for your shoot. "Some people get shell-shocked by seeing their faces all done up if they're not used to it."
However, a boudoir shoot can be an opportunity to try an outfit or style you wouldn't normally—wear something skimpy, vamp it up, go for '40s pinup styling, anything. "If there's anything in particular the person you're doing the photos for really likes, you can kind of shop for them," Lori said. "Just make sure you're comfortable."
You don't have to splurge on new lingerie.
If you have something you know you look good in, don't feel like you have to forsake it for shiny new stuff. "With older pieces, you can't really tell that they're older by the time you're in front of the camera. Things photograph differently than how they look in real life." (The only thing she suggests not wearing? Pieces with lots of boning. "It doesn't move with the body as much as you think it would.")
In fact, you don't even have to be in your undies.
Lori's portfolio features women wearing everything from skimpy lingerie to robes to knee-length dresses. Those not as comfortable with getting photographed in their skivvies might want to consider leggings or form-fitting dresses, as they show off curves without showing skin.
You don't have to be photographed from every angle.
Lori recommends working with your photographer to find poses that complement your body type. "Some people want to hide certain body parts or accentuate certain body parts. … [We] formulate a game plan from that to help with the posing."
You don't have to go through it alone.
Get moral support from someone you really trust, like a sister or best friend. This can be helpful for deciding what outfits to bring, or even for the day of the shoot. "Some people like the feedback their friends give [during a shoot]," Lori said. "It's just a little confidence booster to bring someone along." Of course, if you find their presence is making you more nervous, don't be shy. Ask them to step out.
You don't have to do it for someone else.
"The majority of people are like, 'This gift is for someone, but it's also for me,'" Lori said. Some clients pose just for themselves, often to celebrate meeting weight-loss or fitness goals or reaching a milestone birthday.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (Sept. 10, 2013) — SUNY Plattsburgh's Feinberg Library will host the second annual Banned Books Read Out from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, in the Feinberg Library lobby.
The event features students, faculty and staff reading excerpts from selections of the top 100 banned/challenged books from 2000 to 2009. Titles include "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Speak," "Black Boy," "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Kite Runner" and "In the Night Kitchen."
"The idea is to raise awareness of the many intellectual, political and social issues that are seldom found in a public setting and to highlight their importance, especially in the college community," said Cerise Oberman, distinguished librarian at Feinberg Library.
The reading is a "drop-in" event, allowing participants to either stay for the full two hours or stop by for a reading or two.
Participants interested in reading a selection can contact Oberman at 518-564-5184 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It was definitely covered by the rules.CBA (Collective Baller Agreement):
Standard Yahoo league scoring
15 man roster (PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN)
Year 1 draft will be a live auction featuring both veterans and rookies
Year 2 draft and there after will be a live standard draft featuring only rookies.
Obviously now its too late, but this was a massive oversite on our (commissioners) Part.
Also, it wasn't an oversight, it has been discussed and you were actually the commish who ok'ed here in the league thread. Below I've quoted the discussion in the order it has taken place before the start of the season.
Crazy, I don't remember that at all. Haha Alright, thanks for Digging that up.
When are you guys gonna be ready to drop Romeo? My buddy is ready to go... we shouldn't leave it too long.
I saw where Skywalker pointed out the fact he wasn't setting his lineups, but didn't see him mention he has someone willing to take over. It's all good if you take his guy, but time-is-a-tickin' to get someone in there.
Just one year away... Bruno is almost here!
That being said, I'm pretty sure I lost my matchup vs him a few weeks back to kill my win streak. Go figure I'm the one bitching hehehe
Just one year away... Bruno is almost here!
What up guys, ya I'm down to join the fantasy season if you need another person..
Rudy and DeMar the next Jordan and Pippen !!!!
Thanks for bringing him aboard Softy!
Just one year away... Bruno is almost here!
There is a problem. Would one of the commissioners be able to set my lineups for the time being. I would appear to have been hacked or something. My yahoo won't let me log in and it also won't send my password to my other email(I imagine my backup email was changed as well) I'm going to call yahoo support but I'm not sure how long it could take to get my account back and I don't want to fall behind.
Unfortunately, from what I can see, I can only edit for the following days roster. Not today.
If Soft Euro or Apollo can find something I am missing, then please do guys, but I don't think we can help you for today.
However, I've set your lineup for tomorrow, just in case.
Alright thanks a lot.
I decided just to make a new account. Can we transfer my team to my new account?
PM sent
It is in fact just the Top 8 overall teams. Not Top 4 from each Conference.
Yahoo doesn't have an option to set it up more closely to real life ie, Top teams from each conference.
However, the one thing that having the Conferences does do, is that regardless of Record, if you are in First in your Conference, you are given either #1 or #2 spot automatically, depending on who has the better record.
Just realized that Matt clinched a Playoff Spot! Congrats man!
Not sure how drizz hasn't clinched, considering he's got the same record ... weird.
Regardless, done in a VERY tough Conference no less; I mean .. we do have the Top 4 teams in the League .. haha

After signing the 6-1 Chris Duhon and the 6-2 Anthony Roberson, the Knicks did not have enough salary space or roster space to re-sign Randolph Morris.
Instead, Morris signed a 2-year 1.7 million dollar contract with the
Atlanta Hawks.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I seriously thought that this was the end of Morris' career, but he proved me wrong. Apparently, the Hawks have interest in this young player out of Kentucky.
The Knicks now have 16 players on their roster(15 of which have guaranteed contracts). Fred Jones is the only free agent. He will most likely get signed by another team.

An airstrike on a medical site near Aleppo, Syria, left at least four aid workers dead overnight on Tuesday, NBC News reported.
The attack in the town of Khan Touman, controlled by rebels, comes amid a fragile cease-fire brokered by the U.S. and Russia. But another airstrike hit a convoy of aide workers Monday, killing at least 20 people and touching off a round of blame-trading.
The Associated Press reports that both nations claim the others' aircraft were overhead when the convoy was struck, and it was not immediately clear who launched the airstrike that hit the medical facility overnight on Tuesday.
The humanitarians killed in Tuesday's strike were ambulance drivers and nurses who worked for the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations. A fifth person injured, a nurse, was critically injured in the strike.
The organization condemned the "unacceptable" loss of life, and said the medical center was completely destroyed and left victims buried under debris.


text: With all due respect, your credibility is in question when you say that Luxilon strings have far superior tension stability than Tourna strings. That is an absolutely absurd statement. A rec player will get 3-4 hours great performance out of ALU tops before it dives off a cliff. This isn't a problem for pros who restring effectively every set. For a rec player, that's not really financially doable. To state that ALU has greater longevity than say BHB7 or BHBR is just not true. Are you sure you haven't switched your brands around?

I really want a video-capture card or box. Does anyone have any suggestions (or can tell me what to avoid). I'll probably be getting my new PC in the next month and it will likely have a Rage Fury card in it. I've heard that there's a new ATi-TV card due out in Q2 which will fit it but what about any other solutions? The original Iomega Buz was supposed to be seriously bugged but apparently they have a properly working version available. Is this any good? How about the Dazzle?
What I need is something that will capture in MJPEG with good quality and the ability to edit etc. and then record onto VHS tape and CD-R/CD-RW.
Any ideas anyone???

I developed a service to be hosted by Svchost.exe. This task seemed pretty simple and is all done. The real problem comes out when I try to run it in a particular instance of svchost.exe (lets say netsvcs) it does not work as expected, it creates a completely new instance of Svchost.exe instead of using a previously created one. The reason of developing this service this way was because of performance considerations specially cost in memory so it loses any sense if it runs in a new instance of Svchost.exe.
Would anyone tell me how to make my service (library) run in a particular instance of Svchost.exe without creating a new one?

The best way to predict your future is to create it - Peter Drucker
Maple Leafs play 8 home games in November and have a Homestand from Dec. 3 to 13th
er I mean......damn Americans, stop being prejudice, show the 24th ranked team in the league with no legitimate stars more on national tv. bunch of racists.
People should be happy about this, they always say the best thing that can happen to a team with a lot of new guys is an early road trip because then they're forced to hang out with each other and hopefully develop off-court chemistry.
So, with that in mind, my beef is also that establishing an identity and rhythm at home is hugely important. The Raps haven't owned their home court properly in a long time...that needs to change, badly. So it's not just the lack of home games, it's how they're spread out. Only one 3-game home stand(in mid-Dec), and something like 5 one-off games that basically become "road" games. That's pretty garbage. Their earliest consecutive home games are just 2 in a row, capped on each end by 2 game road trips, and then they only have one-offs for a month!!!
I also am not convinced team chemistry will need that much time. We have a few new faces, but I think Fields and Lowry shouldn't have too much trouble. A lot of the rest of the rotation is the same. Fields even says in this Hoopsworld interview that they already started talking about next season (some guys and coaches, or something like that), which I bet includes him, Lowry (both in Vegas at the time for SL), Ed, Ross, Acy and Demar(there for US select). This group seems like they will blend well into what's already there, which leaves JV (anyone who dresses like Gandalf at an all-star game can't be shy) as probably the toughest, and only difficult guy to integrate.
Hoopsworld Fields interview:
The real issue no one is looking at is how some teams have 22 back to back games while some teams have 13 back to back games (Source RealGM, NBA.com) - those teams should be the ones complaining
Thanks for the list Ceez.
The month of March should be really good for the Raptors...I'm thinking 11 wins that month. I'm going to say we'll have around 45 to 50 wins this season (barring injury)
November is going to be tough. That's a lot of road games and a lot of good teams. Jan/Feb will be the months to make hay with all the home games. The annual December west coast swing doesn't seem as bad as usual with only one back-to-back. There's not a killer second 5-game swing west as there has been in the past.
November looks like a killer.. what is that 4 '3 games in 4 nights' one of which is a '4 games in 5 nights' with 5 back to backs. I thought the lock-out was over??
Just me or does it seem like we have a pretty tough schedule?
We have TSN to cover every single game! And have the backing of one whole country + fans from different parts of the world. For example, this guy right here from Seattle
It's the sort of schedule where we may get off to a rough start by playing away so much. I figure there will be tons of "I told you so's", "They suck!" and calls for heads to roll...followed by a better record towards Xmas and lots of high expectations and hopes.
I always have a major problem with the lack of Toronto coverage on American television. First, when you can't see the team and don't follow it, often commentators and fans come-up with ignorant opinions and misconceptions, that do a disservice to the Toronto players, fans, and the city itself. Bosh, among other stars, has mentioned the lack of media coverage in the US as a major pet peeve of his...and was one of the reasons he left.
1. Lack of media coverage, breeds ignorance and misconceptions.
2. It's harder to attract and retain players..

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
My main interests are wigs and Rumiko Takahashi series. The two do go together rather well, don't you think? I've done characters from Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura, and Maison Ikkoku as well as other series like Tenkuu no Escaflowne and Kiki's Delivery Service. I believe no costume is complete without a good prop of some kind.

Seventy percent of rescued animals are reintroduced to their habitat and the remaining 30% are sent to zoos around the country.

When we lost our home and almost everything in it, Quilt Board members were fast and generous with coming to our aid. But they didn't stop there. Dotcomdtcm organized what amounted to a nationwide quilting bee. There were so many donations of completed quilts and many quilt tops and Grann of 6 was glued to her long arm for days. Linny made the most adorable stuffed animals. And then they all came into the apartment we were blessed to find.
We were busy giving out quilts for many days ... and we're still not done! But at the top of my list was my neighbor and the five foster kids who made our neighborhood a happy place to live. When you see their smiles below, I think you'll know why.
My next stop was going to be my old parish which serves many destitute people. I called to make an appointment to give them some quilts but was told "We're not accepting donations of clothing any more." I tried to explain ... "QUILTS! i have QUILTS not KILTS!"
I finally gave up and called an old friend who is the Executive Director of the Long Beach Housing Authority. Besides the housing they offer, he also oversees Section 8 housing and, sad to say, many of the landlords have failed to make repairs after the flood, leaving many of the city's poorest in terrible shape. They will soon have some nice warm quilts to give comfort. The two we are holding up are earmarked for some special people I know from our local fishing pier and they were being picked up last night.
Again, thank you so much to everyone who participated in this effort. You are amazing!

Guillen nearly the hero in thriller
Infielder gets three at-bats, within feet of walk-off homer in 12th
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
"I didn't know I had that kind of power," Guillen joked in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
For a game in which Guillen was expected to be the last position player on the American League bench, if he played at all, the Tigers third baseman had a pretty full game. He entered in the eighth inning as a pinch-hitter, and still ended up with four plate appearances. One of them nearly made him a hero.
For someone who ended a game last year at 3:30 in the morning, it's all in a night's work. When asked if it was hard to focus in a 15-inning All-Star Game, Guillen shrugged off the fatigue.
"No," he said, "I think you focus more. I think you stay more in the game. You maybe stay more aggressive, but at the same time, you're patient."
To stay fresh in this test of endurance took some patience.
"You have to be ready for any kind of situation," Guillen said. "You never know in this game."
Guillen's versatility to play all infield positions plus left field left him as one of the last men on the AL bench before he pinch-hit for Joe Crede with one out in the eighth. AL All-Star manager Terry Francona warned Guillen beforehand that he could be left as the odd man out.
"He plays everywhere," Francona said before the game. "It's a little hard. I kind of talked to him."
Guillen did his best to make the most of his opportunity. He battled Giants closer Brian Wilson for a nine-pitch at-bat, fouling off everything from a 72-mph offspeed pitch to a 97-mph fastball after falling to a 1-2 count. Guillen worked the count full before Wilson's third consecutive fastball -- again at 97 -- got him to chase and miss.
Guillen came back up in the 10th with runners at the corners, including the potential winning run at third. It would've been a perfect situation for his first All-Star hit, but he didn't get the chance. Rockies right-hander Aaron Cook intentionally walked him, leaving him still hitless.
Guillen was back up to lead off the 12th, when he provided his near-blast as Cook began his third inning of work. Batting left-handed, Guillen went after a first-pitch fastball and poked it to left field. The ball kept carrying towards the left-field corner and over Ryan Ludwick until it bounced off the fence.
Despite his coy surprise, Guillen was optimistic about the hit.
"Yeah, I thought it had a pretty good chance," Guillen said. "I thought I hit it pretty good. I didn't know how it close it was, but it was pretty close."
Guillen reached third base on Grady Sizemore's groundout, but neither Evan Longoria nor Ian Kinsler could get him in. And the game went on.
"When you prepare yourself for the game," Guillen said, "you have to prepare yourself to play one inning or nine innings the same way."
By the time Michael Young's sacrifice fly ended it, Guillen might well have played more innings than he would have if he had started.
Barring a postseason matchup, this will serve as the long, long farewell for Guillen and Tigers manager Jim Leyland to Yankee Stadium. All these years, neither Guillen nor Leyland had been in the home clubhouse before. After all those series in the smaller road quarters, this was a comparative luxury.
"This is impressive," Leyland said before the AL All-Stars took batting practice.
It wasn't just the surroundings. Leyland said he spent a half-hour in the clubhouse lounge listening to stories. The storyteller was Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, the catcher Leyland idolized growing up in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Francona, ironically, mentioned his time with Leyland among his favorite parts of his All-Star experience. As the game itself continued, Leyland was clearly Francona's assistant and confidant, checking strategies and checking on players.
When this game ended, they hugged.
"I told Jim Leyland, 'I'll quit cursing, I'll quit chewing,'" Francona said after the game. "I lied."
Leyland also spent a brief time in the coach's box behind third base. It was his first time as a base coach since he had the honors at the 1994 All-Star Game in Pittsburgh, where he was managing the Pirates at the time. Until Tuesday, that '94 Midsummer Classic was his only base-coaching stint since his days assisting Tony La Russa in the early 1980s with the Chicago White Sox.

text: Above section open to education majors only Above section carries culture studies credit Eric Hobsbawm (whom we'll read in this class) describes the change in the human condition that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century as "the greatest, most dramatic, rapid, and universal social transformation in human history." We'll start with a look at that transformation and then switch to a topical approach to post-1945 world history: the Cold War, Indian independence, the Chinese Revolution, American foreign policy, the Arab-Israeli conflict and so on. We'll explore both dramatic moments and the more gradual social transformations that accompanied them. With luck, we'll conclude with some reflections on how the social, political, economic, and cultural forces we have studied continue to operate on us as global citizens today. Twice-weekly lectures will be accompanied by readings (including primary sources), short writing assignments (most weeks), and weekly discussion sections in small groups. There will be a mid-term and a final.

Domestic violence has reached epidemic proportions. In the United States, 4 million women are physically abused each year by the men who promised to love them. No woman should fear violence in her own home. No child should dread coming home. But help is out there. This month, domestic violence prevention advocates will be raising public awareness of domestic violence, providing people with ideas for action and letting women who are abused know that they are not alone and help is available.
Battering is not just a punch or a kick. It is harassment, threats, being thrown against walls, having things thrown at you and being severely beaten.
A woman is abused any time she is dominated, controlled or humiliated by another person. Battering involves physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse.
Here is additional proof that domestic violence is not a small problem:
Every 15 seconds, a woman is beaten by her husband or lover.
95-99 percent of battering victims are females.
Domestic violence occurs in half of all U.S. homes.
One out of seven women is a victim of marital rape.
Child abuse is 130 percent higher in families where there is spousal abuse.
Nationally, half the reported cases of battering involve alcohol or drugs.
40 percent of all women murdered are killed by the men in their lives.
An estimated 85 percent of disabled women are victims of abuse.
In families where domestic violence occurs, the beatings tend to happen again and again, become more severe and sometimes lead to the death of the victim.
Domestic violence affects all of us - every community, every workplace, every family. And we all have a responsibility to end domestic violence. Action can be as simple as contributing money or clothing to your local women's shelter. Individuals who are looking for ways to help can call 968-3110 for more information.
There is no excuse for domestic violence. Everyone must learn the facts and help stop domestic violence. It is our desire to make every home, a safe home.

I love how everyone freaked out when Rob cut his hair, but with Kristin it's the opposite. Personally I was thrilled when Rob cut his hair. I like the length it is now rather than the uncontrollable mop he had before. I like Kristen's long and short. Either way. They were already using extentions with her anyway, so it's not like there's going to be a big difference.ReplyDelete
You know what, I can live with a Bella that has long hair. It's Twilight...I'll compromise.ReplyDelete

text: As we have all been preparing for the new movie this Spring, I got to thinking about the structure of the movies versus the episodes. Something I realized is that nearly all of the movies feature a singular villain. Khan was the first, and in a way, each movie has tried to capture that same sense of malevolence combined with a personal vendetta against the captain. Kruge killed Kirk's son. Sybok was from Spock's past. Chang made it personal with Kirk. Soran and Ru'afo were more generic I think, but the Borg Queen and Shinzon both had a personal score to settle with Picard. That seems to be par for the course with most blockbusters these days, as seen in The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger's memorable performance as the Joker. But what got me thinking is the fact that most of the best Star Trek episodes eschew this format. Think of the very best episodes of TOS, TNG, DS9, and the others. Who were the villains? In "City On The Edge Of Forever," the villain was time. The villains of "The Trouble With Tribbles" were less mustache-twirling guys than comic relief. The villain of "Balance Of Terror" was not evil at all. "The Best Of Both Worlds"? A faceless collective. (Notice how they created a singular scenery-chewing villain for the movie sequel.) "The Inner Light" had no villain, neither did "The Visitor". Even in the movie series, The Motion Picture and The Voyage Home were without villains, and the former is critically appreciated while the latter is one of the most popular with non-fans. All that said, my question is why do we need a mustache-twirling scenery-chewing singular villain for every movie anymore? JJ Abrams' series has followed the last few TNG movies in that respect. Nero was a madman driven by revenge. Harrison appears to have his own bone to pick with the Federation, and will blow up lots of stuff in order to accomplish his goals. I think it would be refreshing to have a new Trek movie someday be about encountering the unknown, or solving a complex puzzle, or something along those lines, instead of having the same formula once again. (NB: I still enjoy the movies [well maybe not Nemesis so much] and am greatly looking forward to Into Darkness, despite whatever I said here.)

Shale gas fracking linked to earthquakes in Youngstown, Ohio
A leading seismologist has linked the process of shale gas fracking with more than 100 earthquakes that blighted a city in the US Midwest within the space of just 12 months.
Since records began in 1776, the Ohio city of Youngstown had never experienced a single earthquake, until a deep injection well was built to pump waste-water produced by fracking in neighboring Pennsylvania.
The Northstar 1 site started pumping operation in December 2010 and within the following 12 months seismometers in and around Youngstown recorded 109 earthquakes; the strongest being a magnitude 3.9 quake.
Now leading seismologist Dr Won-Young Kim, the leading research scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, says the fracking process is directly to blame for the outbreak of earth tremors.
He explained: "In recent years, waste fluid generated during the shale gas production - hydraulic fracturing, had been increasing steadily in United States.
"Earthquakes were triggered by these waste fluid injection at a deep well in Youngstown, Ohio during Jan. 2011 to Feb. 2012.
"We found that the onset of earthquakes and cessation were tied to the activity at the Northstar 1 deep injection well.
"The earthquakes were centered in subsurface faults near the injection well. These shocks were likely due to the increase in pressure from the deep wastewater injection which caused the existing fault to slip.
"Throughout 2011, the earthquakes migrated from east to west down the length of the fault away from the well - indicative of the earthquakes being caused by expanding pressure front."
Waste fluid generated during shale gas production, or hydraulic fracturing, is pumped underground by the deep injection well.
Researchers found that the onset, cessation, and dips in seismic activity correlated to activity at the Northstar 1 well. Their findings are published this week in the journal Geophysical Research-Solid Earth.
The first earthquake recorded in the city occurred 13 days after pumping began, and the tremors stopped shortly after the Ohio Department of Natural Resources shut down the well in December 2011.
The strongest earthquake, magnitude 3.9, occurred on December 31, 2011. Twelve total events registered above 1.8 magnitude. Main shocks occurred at depths of 3.5 to 4 kilometres beneath the surface.
Dips in seismic activity occurred for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving holidays as well as other scheduled stops at the well.
Two years after it was shut down, the well currently remains abandoned and Youngstown has not been affected by any further earthquakes.

Boston Dynamics Unleashes Wildcat, the Sprinting Quadruped Robot
44 comments
A YouTube video released by Boston Dynamics is making some waves today. They decided to unleash "Wildcat" for the public to see.
Many are already familiar with the slow and lumbering "BigDog" that has been in development for the last few years. We've seen it take steps to avoid obstacles and wander around with surprisingly lifelike motion. We've even seen it recover from falls and tumbles, slowly lifting itself back up and trudging onward. However, we were always able to relax a little bit, knowing that at least we could outrun this four-legged beast, should the need arise.
When Boston Dynamics showed videos of its "Cheetah" quadruped system that is patterned after the feline that shares its name, we were able to relax a little bit knowing that, even though it could theoretically move faster than any living human being, it was confined to the treadmill due to its system of hydraulic tethers.
Wildcat offers no such respite. As you can see in the video, this bounding 'bot could easily catch all but the fastest of us mere mortals. Information is very sparse right now, since Boston Dynamics hasn't provided its website with any details yet on its latest creation. The only information we have so far is from this video description:
WildCat is a four-legged robot being developed to run fast on all types of terrain. So far WildCat has run at about 16 mph on flat terrain using bounding and galloping gaits. The video shows WildCat's best performance so far. WildCat is being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA's M3 program. For more information about WildCat visit our website at www.BostonDynamics.com.

Some of our greatest office arguments are the Brits, Irish and Nz'ers telling the Aussies its not your fucking country. We invented it and you inherited it. That's it the end.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by TW Staff, Mar 25, 2010.
I believe I am a 3.5. Actually, I believe (in my head) I am a 4.5, but my play is 3.5.
Thanks, ill give 30lb a go with some good syn gut in my #4 i.prestige mid and test it out!!
Pro's Pro Plus Power 1.23 @ 34lbs
OK, so I tried my third poly at ELT.
Previously, I played PPPP at low to mid 50's and found it to be a medium to high powered poly. The string bed felt fairly crisp. Control and spin were good, volleys and touch shots were not great but not bad relative to other polys I have played with.
At 34lb PPPP turned into a low powered string. The feel was very muted even dull. Control was still pretty good but spin did not seem as good as at the higher tensions. Surprisingly, I found my arm and wrist feeling a little stiff after 1 h of hitting or two hours of doubles. Volleys and touch shots were a little better in my opinion, but overall I didn't like the feel and comfort so I cut it out after 3h.
So far with full bed polys at ELT I am 1 out 3 as far as liking the way it plays.
Try dropping all the way down to 30 or even 28. I was not that impressed with the mid to high 30s, and the 40's are as we have mentioned here ... no-man's land for tensions. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you gp all the way down.
You recommend going all the way down to low 30's and avoid 40's as no man's land. Does that apply to any head size? I think I read that you use smaller head like 90? If one is using 100 to 105 head size, does one need to up the tension just a bit. Thanks in advance.
Possibly. I strung my girlfriend's Babolat Pure Drive Light (100) and she loves it. Also did my mixed doubles partner Babolat PD Plus (107) at 34 to start, she's now down to 30 as well.
Try a few extra pounds and see if you like it. I liked some things in the mid 30's even on my 100 in racquets. But it really clicked when I dropped all the way down to 30.
I think I'm a convert now. I've strung both of my 7Gs and my Silver Ace at 30, and it is awesome. I wouldn't say game changing, but the string bed feels great, and I still have good control. Interesting thing I noticed last night is that my spin serves were really kicking up high from time to time--like to head height. This never happened before. Ground strokes are about normal, though I may be getting some extra bounce on my backhand. Hard to tell. I just feel like I'm more in command of the ball, and the bed isn't near as stiff.
I also converted a friend who swears he can't tell a difference in strings or tension. Oddly, he gave me his second racquet to string after playing with the first Of interesting note, he is a hard, flat hitter with only natural spin (i.e. barely any), and he was hooking in shots all day with 30lbs. May be why he gave me the other racquet. I'm sticking with it for the time being. Good stuff.
My OGSM ELT isn't good anymore???
APD 2013 with OGSM 17guage at 33lbs.
so things were great when it was 50 degrees....
It got up to 85 degrees today and now my son is spray balls long.
He has only used these strings for about 12 hours. Do OGSM go dead?
I used Racket Tune and the tension is still at 31lbs.
What should I do? Restring at 33? or try 35 since its HOTTER now?
Remember, the APD is 100sq inches and that's why I went up 3lbs from 30lbs.
Thanks guys.
Played a match tonight, and I have to revise my earlier findings. My ground strokes are producing a fair bit more spin than normal. I was hitting a lot of deep forehands that were clearing the net by 5-7 feet. When they hit, they were bouncing above the guy if he let them go. Pretty cool, and it was a great strategy against him. He was very consistent and hit down the middle 95% of the time. The spin made him hit late or block to leave the ball short or off to one side. This allowed me to hit some sick angles, again using spin. I'm sold.
danotje, are you stringing BHBR @ 30 now? I haven't gone below 36 with full bed BHBR yet, but perhaps I should give it a shot @ 30 as well...
I am. It feels really nice at 30 with a smooth poly cross. I had some Silverstring lying around, so I have a 7G and my Silver Ace with BHBR x SS plus another 7G with BHBR x Isospeed. I really am surprised by how playable it is. I had one at 54 which is my normal tension just in case things didn't work out. I tried hitting with it after the grip on the 30lb racquet started coming off, and absolutely hated it. It felt like a board. Really interesting how quickly you acclimate to the lower tension.
By the way, the only reason I went with 30 is because my dropweight stringer creates physical obstacles in the 38-45 range. I did read the TW blog, though, that mentioned 30 as the sweet spot. Give it a try. You're nearly there now.
OK, thanks, guess I'll have to bite the bullet then... It is interesting how quickly you get used to these very low tensions! I used to play full poly in the high 50s, low 60s range...
Scratch that... I didn't believe my son... So I just took out his stick this AM with the ball machine and although it was only 69 degrees instead of 85, the strings Felt FINE... Felt GOOD...
My Next string job will be... OGSM 17 Main with Poly Cross at 33lbs.
Waiting for my Gut / Poly to break
I have used ELT here in Phoenix at 90+ degrees with no issues. I haven't seen any indications that it responds differently in warmer temps. Maybe he was just having on off day.
Where I am, the temperature is always in the 32+ degrees Celcius (90+ degrees Fahrenheit) all year round.
I've probably done close to twenty ELT stringjobs on my partner's and my rackets by now. So far, we did not have problems with the heat with gut, multi, syn gut or poly.
Because of excessive string movement, sometimes the huge gaps can cause the ball to spray more with ELT than at normal tensions. So remember to straighten out the strings
Great point U-S!
I'm going to string up mu POG Longbody 100 with Klip 17 Gut/Poly.
Would you suggest 30lbs for mains and crosses?
It looks like you are stringing at the same tension on mains and crosses now. If you like that setup, I would stay with it and string both at 30.
Sounds good - will do and report back - Cheers
Thanks, he had a much better day today. And plus, I tried it and it was still fine.
Does Gut ELT have the same string movement as SynGut ELT?
From my experiences with ELT fullbed nat gut and gut mains syn cross, there seems to be significantly less string movement whenever nat gut is used.
Thanks. Reading how it is the snap back of the mains that give you the extra spin, doesn't that tell us that FULL Syn Gut ELT is not creating as much spin since the mains MOVE and don't bounce back to original position?
Yes, I've read about spin being attributed to the mains snapback. I saw pics of pros' racket mains being pulled as much as one inch away by the ball at contact.
So far, my experiences with NG is still inconclusive. I got so much more spin with ELT syn gut (SG) that initially, I had problems getting the ball over the net. It just curled down on my side.
I already hit with a lot of topspin before ELT. So I had to modify, sort of flatten the follow through a little. That added a different dimension to my shots.
I suspect the mains could have been pulled much further than where it settled?
While Yourmailman got more spin with NG, I seem to get more with SG. Perhaps it's different rackets, or gauge or tension?
Having so much spinny fun now, especially when I play with strangers for the first time, I'm not in a hurry to dig out the differences yet
ELT works!
The pocketing with the low tension combined with the amount of spin you can generate creates a completely different sensation.
It's the difference between hitting the ball and being able to throw the ball around the court.
Out of the following sets to try ELT with, what do y'all think is best? I have sets if bhbr 17, sppp 1.18, cyclone 1.25, b5e 17 and solinco revolution...
Poly Cyclone 17 Main with OGSM 17 Cross
So I got bored and decided to cut the 33lb OGSM full bed on 0213 APD.... It had a lot more power than 33lb Cyclone Full bed on the 100sq APD...
I decided to try -->
Poly Cyclone 17 Main with OGSM 17 Cross at 30lbs on APD.
It felt good. I ball machined about 150 balls with it before giving it to my son. He loved it. It gave him a lot more spin then full Syn Gut but he lost a little power.
Still waiting to try real GUT in ELT. Have to wait for my other GUT racket to break....
If you're looking for spin, I haven't found anything better than BHBR. However, SPPP will likely hold its tension the best. I'm not impressed by Cyclone and haven't tried the other two. You could cross BHBR with SPPP. That is my next set up.
I string my racquets at 48 lbs and 46 lbs with Pro's Pro Black Force and I love it. I know it's not as low as some of you guys, but I am really happy with this setup at the moment.
Cool I'll give bhbr a go. 32/30 a good place to start?
Bhbr/sppp is intriguing because sppp is such a slick and thin cross...
I'm at 30, and it's pretty awesome. I was hesitant to try it, but after 2 weeks in my 7G, I can honestly say I don't intend to go back up. I use BHBR exclusively as my main (the spin is sick), but I still experiment with crosses from time to time. I had a package of WC Silverstring that was just hanging around, so I used that with BHBR at 30, and it is really nice. I like SPPP better (cheaper, too, but similar) so I bought a pack to try it. My standard set up is Isospeed Baseline Spin, though. Great feel, spin and makes string jobs about $3-$4. Hope this helps!
OK, I'm back from my spur of the moment trip to Craplahoma.
While I was there, I had one of Bio 100's strung up with Babolat natural gut at, you guessed it, 30.
I now see why some people are saying they get more spin with syn gut when using ELT. My full syn gut setup actually generates more spin than the Babolat, but not as much as with the Klip I had in it originally. Overall, it is a wonderful feeling string, but I miss the spin! I did notice that quite a few of my backhand slices were just clearing the net and then dipping, but with the Klip strings, it was more pronounced.
When I got back yesterday, my India gut had arrived. I am anxious to try it out. I think one set in a Bio 100 and the other in as PS 6.0 85. On examination, it seems more like the Klip, so I am hoping that I will get some of the added spin back. I'll report back on the results.
Just thought I'd add a little more to this thread...
In regards to spin, I'm not really sure if ELT gives more or not, but I do have a couple of observations that occurred after stringing at 30. First, I have noticed a slightly higher trajectory over the net. I've read that studies show only a 1 or 2% increase, but this is translating into 1-2 feet higher on average. To go along with this, I've mysteriously developed a very high trajectory (maybe 8-10 ft over the net) ball since going to ELT. The interesting thing is it usually only happens when I'm pressed a bit. It lands about 3 ft from the baseline and then shoots up over my opponent's head. Really useful in forcing errors or neutralizing attacks.
The next thing I noticed is that I now have a solid drop shot. I hate drop shots because they are so darn effective, and I couldn't pull it off very well. Now I seem to throw in several every couple of games. I figured that I might see more topspin, but this intrigues me because not only is it backspin, but also requires a light touch. Based on the traditional thought of the tramopline effect, I thought that type of shot might be impossible, yet here they are, showing up in my game.
Again, I'm not sure what the science behind tension says, but these two shots have crept into my game over the last few weeks. Maybe I'm stroking better, maybe switching to leather is helping--I really don't know. Bottom line, though, I'm doing things that I wasn't before, and it's fun--especially watching guys try to catch the high looper on the backhand side.
I am interested to read this as I am contemplating trying the Indian gut if it any good, on my PS 88 that is just lying around gathering dust
Yesterday I strung up a Fischer vacuum SC mid (predecessor to the vacuum 90 pro) with Prince Tournament Nylon @ 32/30. Some guy next to me broke his strings so I lend him my racket. He seemed to be playing great but the mass was too much for him.
Afterwards I asked him: would you believe me if I told you this was strung at 30 lbs? He just looked at me in shock. He could not believe it. He went over to his friend and asked: Guess what this is tensioned at? The guy replied no idea but we usually string at 55lbs. Well guess what, it's strung at 30! Both guys are players who've been playing for years. The looked like they've never heard such a thing in all their years of playing tennis.
The guys just could not believe it felt so nice! He asked what makes it great. My guess was the ball sinks more into the stringbed impacting more spin.
I really liked it, but my technique isn't solid enough the constantly play with a narrow mid. When I hit off center my elbow gets a beating. I'm really contemplating stringing up my regular racket with a premium multi @ ELT. I don't have the same string so I could't compare.
Great update!
Before you pull the trigger on the ELT multi, I just wanted to share somehow I did not enjoy ELT multi. The main drawback to me is that multi turns very gummy after just one session of play. That seems to hinder the free sliding of strings which generates spin.
I've tried (in different rackets though):
Fullbed multi
Multi/syn gut
Syn gut/multi
Take a look at my findings on my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to ask
Wow thanks! I've read that review but didn't see the update. Seems like my reel of tournament nylon will be getting some more playing time in the future.
For those who are coming to this thread late, this is one summary that might
save you some time reading thru the whole thread.
Also it gives me insight on why polys are so popular in this era of baselining
on slow court surfaces with heavy balls...
Syngut at 30 lbs in Dunlop Revelation Pro 90
OK, so all the positive reviews on syngut at ELT finally peaked my curiosity.
I decided to string up my old Dunlop Revelation Pro with a couple of half sets of Golden Set syngut that I had laying around. I put some Durameld 17 in the mains and some Optimum 17 in the crosses, both at 30 lbs. I sprayed some ARMOR ALL on the string bed after stringing.
Unorthodox Stringing and Yourmailman -- you guys are bang on about the playing characteristics of syngut at ELT!!
I could not believe how well this setup played! Access to lots of spin, great control, low to medium power, and a nice soft feel with a bit of bite -- all this from some cheap no name syngut.
My only caveat is that I only hit for 1 hour today, so will reserve final judgement as to whether this setup is going to be my new standard.
I noticed that the strings did not move that much. There was some notching so it will be interesting to see how long they last as well as how their playability holds up.
Ground strokes, volleys and touch shots were really nice with this setup. I will see how the serve performs under game conditions. I am thinking this should be a great setup for doubles.
I am now chomping at the bit to try some syngut at ELT in my 200 and 200 tours.
Really glad to hear you finally pulled the trigger on 30lbs!
ELT is so addictive that more and more around me are getting hooked and converted.
As with all freshly strung rackets, I noticed ELT has a "break-in" period too. But it's very subtle. The best playing hours seem to start from the second hour or second session of tennis.
So if you're already having fun in the 1st hour, get ready to rock and roll from the 2nd onwards!
But isn't it a little too cold to be playing where you are now? Indoor courts?
Just a question or two for you guys. I'm on my first 30lb string job still, and it is full poly. I love the way it plays. I get tons of feel and spin, and it still feels pretty great after quite a few hours of play time (15+?). First, do you guys see heavy notching in your set ups, especially compared to higher tension? I would expect that due to easier string movement, but I didn't expect it to not really affect the playability. Second, been reading a lot about syn gut being even better than poly at ELT, would you agree? If so, what makes it better in your opinion. This seems somewhat counter intuitive, but I'm coming up on a restring soon and have lots of syn gut available. Thanks for the insights so far. This thread has transformed my game!
I'm assuming you're using Isospeed Baseline poly. If it is, I'm not surprised about the notching as it is a very soft poly.
Another reason could be that you are actually hitting much harder at ELT due to the low power. You may not be feeling it due to the extra comfort and plushness though. That is just my experience with ELT poly.
I prefer syn gut as it offers greater comfort, pocketing and better feel. Poly still has a certain harshness to it at low tensions that I did not like. Power wise, I think SG is much better than ELT poly. Somehow, I am also able to generate more spin with SG than poly.
Yep -- indoors -- winter is still hanging on up here -- probably another few weeks (maybe a month) before I will be outdoors.
From my limited experience I also liked the comfort and feel of ELT syngut better than the polys I tried. I still can't believe how well the syngut played at 30 lbs.
Which synguts are best at ELT? Gosen OGSM?
Oddly, it is the BHBR that is notching. I think it is because the mains are freer to move now. I might be hitting harder, too, as the ball's flight path just arches down so quickly. Keeps it in, but I have noticed more short balls. Not all the time nor are they that troubling (they land just inside the service line and peak near the baseline), but they are there. Just wondering about other's experiences. I may have to try syn gut at some point, but I kind of like that extra crispness of the poly.
I've had great results with Gosen OGSM. I'm partial to the 18. Seems to get a little more bite than the 17.
Thanks yourmailman! I'll get a few sets to try out
How about a ELT hybrid? I am just beginning to enjoy a stiff poly / syn gut at 35/33 lbs done in a 95 sq in 16x19 RD7.
Take a look at my 24apr update in the post below...
This is an interesting idea as I haven't tried a syn gut hybrid in a while, and definitely not at ELT. One of the main reasons is the spin of a full poly set up. Do you think it compares? I play with a lot of top, not spin doctor levels, but there is more than the average bear has. Mostly I like having the access to it, and ELT and sound technique have given me that in spades. I like being able to hit a low flat(ter) ball while also being able to hit a high trajectory ball capable of bouncing 6+ ft. You have me mildly curious about the hybrid and syn gut now
From my experience...
Poly gives me the most spin. I can SWING away as hard as I can...
Syngut gives more power then POLY. I do feel it has slightly less spin potential.
Syngut Main / Poly Cross gives me less power but more spin.
. . . at the same tensions as those other setups, yes. With synguy-poly, you need to string looser. Much looser. Probably at poly tensions.
Right now I have Gosen 17 x Co-Focus 18 @ 44x40. I usually play gut-poly at 48x44.
I don't know if they're 100% comparable in terms of performance at those tensions, but it's reasonably close.

International Social Survey Program: Role of Government II, 1990 (ICPSR 34847)
Principal Investigator(s): International Social Survey Program (ISSP)
The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of cross-national collaboration. Formed in 1983, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This survey is the second one to explore the "role of government" topic. The first survey was conducted in 1985-1986. Participating countries in the 1990 survey include the Federal Republic of Germany, Great Britain, the United States, Italy, Hungary, Norway, Ireland, and Israel. These data report citizens' opinions on the functions of their national governments and on what governments should and should not be doing. Questions were asked concerning taxes, gun control, cuts in government spending, government creation of new jobs, government spending on environmental concerns, law enforcement, health issues, education, defense, unemployment benefits, and the cultural arts. Other items focused on the role of public protest meetings, publications, and demonstrations, and the legality of police surveillance, including telephone taps, opening mail, and detaining people overnight for questioning. Respondents were also queried about the role of government in several industries, including electric power, steel, banking, and insurance. Demographic variables include age, sex, marital status, employment status, occupation, union membership, education, political party affiliation, religion, left-right self-placement, vote in the last election, subjective social class standing, size of household, family income, and parents' education and occupation.
