KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A pistol retrieved from the skirt of Bonnie Parker of the Depression-era outlaw duo of Bonnie and Clyde as her bullet-riddled body was stripped for embalming in 1934 will go up for auction on Jan. 25 in Knoxville, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. � A pistol retrieved from the skirt of Bonnie Parker of the
Depression-era outlaw duo of Bonnie and Clyde as her bullet-riddled body was stripped for embalming in 1934 will go up for auction on Jan. 25 in Knoxville, Tenn.
�I don�t know that it gets any better than this,� said John Case, president of Case Antiques, Auctions & Appraisals, which is handling the sale. �I am not aware of a more-documented item from that time period.�
The semi-automatic .38-caliber Colt, complete with the clip and six bullets, has a pre-auction estimate of between $125,000 and $175,000, Case said.
The winning bidder will also receive historic photos and documentation of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow�s last stand, when the partners in life and crime were ambushed by law-enforcement officers in Louisiana.
The story of the desperadoes-turned-folk-heroes was celebrated in the 1967 Arthur Penn movie Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. The crime duo got fresh attention this winter in the A&E television miniseries Bonnie & Clyde.
Their weapons arsenal has attracted considerable interest in previous auctions.
A .45-caliber Thompson submachine gun and a 12-gauge Winchester shotgun seized by police after a shootout with Bonnie and Clyde in which two officers died fetched $130,000 and $80,000, respectively, at a 2012 auction in Missouri.
According to the affidavit accompanying the Colt pistol, Charles Francis �Boots� Bailey, an embalmer who handled Bonnie Parker�s body, gave the pistol to Robert Dawson Hightower, the 12-year-old son of his colleague, Vern Hightower, at Louisiana�s Conger Funeral Home.
Robert Hightower collected an affidavit signed by his mother, the wife of the
funeral-home director, and James Wade, the coroner who signed the death certificates for Barrow and Parker. A local judge witnessed the affidavit.
After Hightower died, the pistol was given to his son, who now lives near Knoxville.

A recent article by storage editor Chris Mellor in The Register discusses how hybrid array startups are benefiting at the expense of mainstream storage monoliths like EMC and NetApp as customers are increasingly moving away from legacy all-disk systems to disruptive technologies like Zebi Storage Arrays.
One of my favorite lines from the article is "The only technical way EMC, NetApp, Dell, HDS, HP and IBM can compete with these three startup hybrid array vendors is by re-writing their incumbent array software; a massive task that will take years to accomplish."
Yes, we are one of these upstarts, like Tintri and Nimble Storage, that are feasting on the big boys' lunch. And, no, we won't apologize for it. Consider this …
- Our last 20 wins have come at the expense of competitors such as NetApp and Nimble Storage
- Approximately 20 percent of our business comes from NTAP tech refresh displacements. Replacements for Dell and EMC are close behind.
- We enjoyed a 280 percent year-over-year growth for the 12-month period of March 2012 to March 2013
- We had a 475 percent quarter-over-quarter growth for Q1 this year compared to last
- Every two quarters, Tegile doubles its revenue
- Our average systems price is under $80,000
- Our industry firsts include being the only multi-protocol hybrid array; first with application-optimized templates to accelerate and simplify the provisioning process; and first to go directly to the cloud with built-in automatic data protection
Our company's success is measured in the success of our new generation of affordable, feature-rich storage arrays that are up to 7X faster and require as much as 75 percent less capacity than standard disk arrays. Companies who evaluate us against the "big boys" discover that Zebi arrays can help them reduce their costs and increase the performance of demanding VDI, server virtualization and file share applications.
But what truly differentiates us over any other traditional, all-Flash or hybrid vendor is our use of de-duplication in conjunction with compression to optimize the storage architecture. Along with using SSDs to support our Metadata Accelerated Storage System (MASS), Zebi integrates DRAM and Flash intelligently into the data path to create an optimized hybrid storage appliance. DRAM is used as an extremely fast level-1 read cache while Flash SSDs are used as a second level of non-volatile read and write cache.
In spotlighting Tegile in a follow up article yesterday, Chris Mellor wrote, "Our thesis is that small and medium businesses and their channel suppliers like the hybrid arrays because they offer near-flash array performance at equal, or less, than disk drive array prices. What's not to like about that? The hybrid guys' businesses have more than 1,500 customers now and (El Reg estimates) something like 3,000 deployed systems. Expect to see entry-level and mid-range systems sales from the HINHED* gang come under pressure."
We humbly agree with Chris Mellor's view of the market space.

Jenny Erpenbeck is a prize-winning German author whose previous novels include The Old Child and The Book of Words. Visitation is her latest work of fiction.
Upcoming Events
Past Events
To Michael Faber, Jenny Erpenbeck is 'one of the finest, most exciting authors alive.' Her novel The End of Days is a story of the 20th century traced through the alternative lives of a single woman. In Elsewhere, Doron Rabinovici's often hilarious, fast-paced and moving novel set between Vienna and Tel Aviv, he confronts themes of identity, belonging and antisemitism; long-held family secrets simmer and the truth is never transparent.
Two strikingly new voices came to JBW 2011, original and poetic, revisit the themes of loss and belonging, nourished by their own experiences. In Jenny Erbenbeck's haunting novel, Visitation the inhabitants of a house by a lake are displaced by history, one family after the other. Julya Rabinovich's Splithead traces the story of a young girl is taken on a plane from Leningrad, without knowing that she is leaving the country for good. We discovered how beautiful writing is borne from the pain of a heavy history.

A lasting aroma
This reminds me of an earthquake we once had. Other than losing a lot of beautiful Italian hand painted plates and homemade preserves the most lasting effect was I never put garlic in any chutney I made after the quake.

With the Olympic Games coming up in a few weeks, Redline team manager Jason Carnes brought a small but talented squad to do battle at the Midwest National in hot and humid Rockford, IL this past weekend.
In Elite Men's racing, Saturday saw co-sponsor riders Kyle Bennett of ORP/Redline get on the podium with an impressive third place finish while Stile Industries/Redline rider Elliot McGrath took a 5th place. In Sundays racing it was current USA BMX fourth ranked rider Denzel Stein doing the heavy lifting for Redline. Denzel was pushing Olympics bound New Zealand rider Marc Willers hard for the pass (see photo) through turns two and three but ultimately had to make his move for the pass on the final straight coming up a tire width short for the win but capturing a well deserved photo finish second place finish.
In the amateur ranks AM#1 Josh Klatman doubled by winning both days. On Saturday Josh had a perfect start and led from start to finish, while on Sunday he had to rely on a bit of luck by avoiding a crash in front of him but which allowed him to move from 4th to 1st for his second victory of the weekend.
In 41+ expert former Redline Pro rider 2X4 Tommy Board continued his strong comeback under the Redline colors by winning cruiser both days and taking a third and a 1st in class.
In Vet Pro TM Jason Carnes was back on the track having recovered from a hard fall in Salt Lake City. Jason took a fourth place on Saturday and a fifth on Sunday.
Redline would also like to acknowledge the fact that there were some great results and a strong presence shown by two of our Regional Development Teams. Both ORP Redline from Texas and Redline Adventure from Minnesota continue to build their programs and really put on a great show for the fans!
Finally, race fans need to set their DVR's up to capture the Olympic Games coverage on NBC on August 8th, 9th and 10th. Of the 48 riders competing in the Olympic BMX Competition, 11 of those riders will be aboard Redline bicycles.
Team Redline enjoys valuable relationships with its suppliers and sponsors including Answer Products, Tioga, Sun Ringle, Koolstop and Shimano.

In episode #120 of the PeopleSoft Administrator Podcast, there is a discussion on the deltas in the PTEM_CONFIG App Package from 8.55 to 8.56. In 8.56 there appears to be a ton of delivered ACM Plugin App Classes, but as Dan explains, these App Classes are completely empty. This is a major tease because there are some really interesting ACM Plugin App Class names such as PTScriptExecutor and PTWebServerConfigUpdate that have no implementation code in 8.56.
Validating Time-Based One-Time Passwords
There are various techniques to enforce multi-factor authentication in web applications. One approach is to use Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTPs) as an additional authentication factor. I did a write-up on how to implement Google Authenticator to enforce this style of multi-factor authentication in PeopleSoft. In that article, I use a custom Java class on the app server to implement the TOTP validation algorithm. The problem with this approach is that it causes an undesirable app server dependency. I recently came across an article that demonstrates a JavaScript implementation of the TOTP algorithm. Since we have the ability to run JavaScript on the app server using Java's built-in JavaScript interpreter, then we can make use of this JavaScript implementation of the TOTP algorithm to validate user submitted TOTPs. I would like to share a handy project that demonstrates this dependency-less TOTP validation technique.
ACM Plugin Configuration Properties
I am finally starting to get up to speed with Automated Configuration Management (ACM) Plugins. ACM is something that the guys over at psadmin.io have been talking about for some time now and I think this is a great new PeopleTools functionality. I have experienced an unfortanute limitation around the allowed character length of the input configuration properties for the some of the ACM plugins that I am currently working on. It turns out that the input configuration properties for ACM plugins are limited to a measly 254 characters. This is a problem for plugins that require lengthy configuration properties. For the plugins that I am creating, I wanted a way to easily create and mange plugin configuration properties without having any character length constraints.
Managing Large HTML Objects
I wanted to share a quick tip on managing third-party JavaScript libraries in HTML objects in PeopleTools. The tip is to manage these HTML objects in the Branding Framework in the PIA rather than using App Designer. I have found that App Designer does not play well with handling large JavaScript libraries as it tends to add newlines in the code after line lengths reach a certain point. Minified JavaScript libraries are notorious for having extremely long line lengths and this is an issue for App Designer.
Overriding Web Server Properties in the PIA
A while back I did a tutorial on how to define your own web profile custom properties. In that post I demonstrated how custom meta-HTML variables can be defined on the web profile that can then be used in the server's static HTML files. This technique is good for providing an easy way to manage the web server properties in the PIA. Something that I did not mention in that post is that we can use the web profile custom properties page in the PIA to manage (and override) existing web server properties defined on the server. I have had good experiences using this technique to override delivered web server properties defined in the various .properties files on the web server. An example use case of this technique is to override properties in the text.properties file to achieve JavaScript injection on the PeopleSoft sign in page. In this post, I will demonstrate how we can use this technique so that we can have a custom sign in experience without having to customize delivered files.
PeopleCode Syntax Highlighting in Ace Editor
Ace is an embeddable code editor written in JavaScript. My first exposure to the Ace Editor was when I started to use the Cloud9 IDE for non-PeopleSoft development. I like using web-based tools because they prevent me from being tied to a particular machine to do work. With tools like Cloud9, I can develop software from any one of my internet-connected devices. PeopleSoft development is a bit different than developing software in other languages as App Designer is needed to edit PeopleCode programs. I would rather not have to always rely on a client-based application to edit PeopleCode. This is the reason that I embarked on writing a JavaScript-based PeopleCode editor powered by Ace. The Ace Editor provides many desirable features that can be found in most modern editors and it also allows for language-specific syntax highlighting. Today I would like to share the PeopleCode syntax mode that I created for the Ace Editor.
Easy REST Requests
One of the biggest pain points with using Integration Broker to consume third-party REST web services is the creation of all of the required metadata definitions. If I want to perform a simple REST request to a third-party URL, then I am stuck having to create Message, Service, Service Operation, and Routing definitions. Sometimes I just want the ability to test an API without having to create all of these definitions. It turns out that there are a couple of delivered methods within the %IntBroker class that allow developers to code the consumption of a REST API without the need to create all of the metadata definitions listed above. The two methods that I will be discussing are the ProvideRestTest and ConnectorRequest methods.
Response Manipulation with Portal Custodian
What in the world is the Portal Custodian? I asked myself this very question when I came across a delivered file named portalCustion.xml on the PeopleSoft web server. The Portal Custodian is an undocumented functionality that allows for regular expression pattern matching replacements on the portal content served by the web server. The portal content is the "wrapper" that the psp servlet puts around the page content. This means that we have the ability to modify the contents within the portal header and footer before the client receives the response from the web server. I discovered and tested this functionality in a PeopleSoft application running PeopleTools 8.56, but it is quite likely that this feature exists in older Tools releases. In this post, I will walk through how we can use this interesting feature to manipulate response data.
Compile and Run PeopleCode Online
There are many times where I come across some sample PeopleCode on the internet and I want to execute the PeopleCode in my environment to see the output. The route I take to test drive some PeopleCode usually involves me opening up an existing object in App Designer, pasting in the sample code, and then going to the PIA to see the results. I find this process rather tedious to perform just to see the output of some sample code. Not to mention, I have to make sure I go back into App Designer and clean up the object I modified. More often than not, I already have a PeopleSoft session open in my web browser when I am exploring PeopleCode online. So what I decided to do was build an online utility for compiling and running PeopleCode directly in the PIA. In this post, I will share this helpful utility for anyone that is interested in this functionality.

Although the snow makes the winter a beautiful season, without the right skincare it can really do damage to your face. The cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air, which slowly evaporates the moisture out of your skin throughout the day. Even being indoors with heat can rob the air of moisture, as well as hot showers and harsh cleansers. Applying more moisturizer helps, but you still need a bit more to keep your skin glowing and smooth to counteract these effects. If you want to reduce redness, itching and chapping this season then try these tips to keep your skin healthy and comfortable!
1. Use Lukewarm Water While Washing
A nice hot shower is something I think we can all agree we love, but when possible – especially while washing the face – go for lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin of its many natural oils. To help keep moisture sealed in, these oils are extremely helpful.
2. Choose A Moisturizer Carefully
Some over-the-counter moisturizers contain petroleum-based ingredients that can actually dry your skin out even more in the winter months. Be sure to choose a smart formula that has natural, nourishing ingredients. Go for an oil-based rather than a water-based solution, as it's more likely to help your skin retain moisture. Try Rhonda Allison's Grape Seed Oil. Not only does it deliver a potent dose of antioxidants, it also hydrates, fights free-radical damage, protects capillary walls, and provides anti-inflammatory support.
3. Protect Your Skin
Even though the air is cold, the sun is still out and able to cause damage to the skin. We say it all the time – sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Winter sun can be just as harmful as summer sun, so apply a protective layer to any exposed areas. Elta MD is a great choice!
4. Humidify
When we want to get all warm and cozy most of us use a heating system. Consider installing a humidifier, particularly in the bedroom, to put that necessary moisture back into the air. This is a great way to prevent your skin from drying out.
5. Drink Up
Hot beverages such as tea and cocoa are typically a "go-to" around this time, but don't forget that hydration in the body starts from the inside out! For refreshed look, remember that a little warm water with lemon can go a long way.
6. Overnight Moisturizer
Although this is an important step in any season, I'm sure you can see the many benefits of doing so when the air is colder and drier. Rhonda Allison's Drop of Essence Hydration Drops is a light and silky serum which quickly penetrates the stratum corneum, providing valuable hydration and tissue support. This product is also great because it helps to slow down aging!
7. Exfoliate
The benefits of a moisturizer won't be able to penetrate the skin if there are too many dead cells. Use an exfoliant like Rhonda Allison's Brightening Scrub with gentle jojoba beads which is a natural all-purpose, 3-in-1 cleaner and leaves your skin soft and emollient.
8. Hydrate From the Inside Out
Eating foods high in water content can help hydrate your skin from the inside out. Try watermelon, cantaloupe, apples, oranges, kiwi, and watery veggies like celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and carrots. Make sure you're getting enough vitamin C and zinc to support the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Also consider an omega-3 supplement, or consume more fatty fish and flaxseed to give your skin the building blocks it needs to appear supple and smooth.
9. Try a Mask
A weekly mask is ideal, and one like the Rhonda Allison Papaya Tangerine Enzyme Mask is a gentle mix of milk, papaya and tangerine that leaves the skin polished silky and hydrated. The mask allows the moisture to sit upon the skin until it is truly sealed in.
I hope these tips have helped give you a bit more insight on winter ready skin! If you have more questions or would like additional information on the different treatments offered here at Pulse to keep your skin in shape for the winter, give us a call at (212) 802-1439 and set up a free consultation!

Tom Rosenbauer begins by talking about rod actions, line sizes, sunscreen, and high water, then offers several tips for summer dry-fishing.
"Summer is the prime time for dry flies, for some reasons I'll get into. And I've got 12 tips here for fishing dry flies for high summer. Number one: I wanted to talk about the physics of water, and what I've noticed over the years in trout fishing. In the early season, you have a sort of stratified water velocity occurring in most trout streams."

Oh, what an adventurous week this will be! Ten titles, no Marvel, and the end of a series that, frankly, I really didn't give half a rip about anyway! Shall we begin?
My boyfriend read The Return of Bruce Wayne before I did and told me not to bother. I…did not listen. But instead of really reading, I just glanced through. It was pretty generic, from what I saw. Lots of mentioning of holes (a little part of me kept cracking 'that's what she said' jokes. I'm so ashamed.), Hal Jordan being a douche, etc. Sorry, Grant. I'm giving this one star, would not read again.
Knight and Squire, on the other hand…it's like Paul Cornell said to himself, "Hm, how British can I make this series before it becomes too British and people drop it from their pull lists?" I think you're almost there, honey. I mean, I'm kinda fluent in the utter nonsense (thank you, Louise Rennison) that British writers can come up with, but even now…I think he's just making stuff up. I'm not dropping the series, though. It just has that perfect mix of action and comedy that keeps me reading.
I think my eyebrow was quirked the entire time I was reading Welcome to Tranquility. I couldn't help it, I just…god damn, Gail. Tommy and Derek were in love once? I mean, I thought what he had for her was a creepy obsession or something. And Seresa may be parapalegic? Or, if she gives up the ghost, Vengence of the sidewinder spirits? Holy moley. And Tommy was..? Good god, woman, don't you tease me like this! Augh, cliffhangers, my one true weakness! Next time, Simone, next time..!
So, Emerald Warriors is quickly becoming my favorite incarnation of Green Lantern. Why? Just…read the Guy/overseer interaction in the atmosphere. That's probably the funniest damn thing I've read in weeks. Also, I know how I'm all 'Blue Corps, yay!', but the Red Lanterns are really starting to grow on me. Bleez in particular, because she's just…from all the stuff we know about her, she's pretty much a Libby with a heart of gold…except she's technically evil? I dunno. The metaphor derailed itself. End result, Emerald Warriors is awesome, pick it up if you can.
Batgirl, anyone? While Babs shall always be my favorite Bat-lady, Steph gets props for being a strange yet awesome combination of her, Dick, and Tim. She's a lady that cracks jokes and worked her ass off to get where she wanted to be, and that deserves a bit of respect. See, this is why I'm afraid of colleges, people are always dying of something. Cloaked men chasing a science major and murdering him? Just a normal day on campus, nothing to see here.
Red Robin: Oh, hey, Cass! Where the hell have you been for a year? Also, a little shout out to the Teen of Steel. Apparently his colors aren't the only thing Tim's got on him. ("They call me 'Superboy'..? That'll be news to Conner…") Cass turned down the Bat! Okay, I'm kinda psyched about that. Maybe there's hope in her being the new Nightwing after all… Ha! And Tim gets his own sexy, sexy enemy. His own Catwoman, if you will. Ack, stop with the fruit throwing! Her name is Lynx for pity's sake! Also, Bathugs! They are certainly the best kind of guy-on-guy hugs to have (just ask Superboy). Oh my, Tim. You've certainly learned well at the knee of Dick, you manslut you.
"But I wanted to beat up Nazis!" is probably the greatest excuse in time travel, please excuse the pun, history. So, anyone wondering when General Glory would pop up in comics again? No? Well, too bad, here he is! And…he's off his rocker in a major way. Y'know, I hope DC chooses to keep Rani around, her interactions with the Carter family are just too adorable for words. "Please don't call me Boppy." You know you love it, Rip.
Generation Lost was hella depressing this week. Basic synopsis: because Max Lord is a bastard and Nate is a good soldier, Magog dies and Max's life is fully restored. What. The fuck. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. Ohh, wait. Max had to kill Magog to stop a war that would decimate the world from happening, I remember now. Y'know, I just had a thought. Would people on other worlds remember Max? Manga Khan, Kyle, who I don't think was on Earth at the time of the mind wipe (unlike Guy), even Starfire and Adam Strange. Would any of them remember him? I mean, aside from Booster Gold and Power Girl, I don't think he's shown up in any books other than this one. Is he a contained subject? Or is the entire universe doomed to forget all about the guy who is kinda aspiring to be Hitler? And before people get up in arms about that comment, think about it. His entire purpose for being evil? Rid the world of superheroes from other planets, or with ridiculous superpowers. He didn't want to kill Ted, he wanted Ted to join him because they're both fully human. Except, Max isn't fully human. He had mind-controlling powers, and then he was a cyborg. That's another thing that I don't think was ever explained. How did Max go from being a nonpowered cyborg to being human again? Did he clone himself or something? What's the deal, DC? Ugh, I'm giving myself a headache, next book.
R.E.B.E.L.S.: The book that goes there. Seriously, I think I may like this series better than any other (set in space) not only because of the writing, but because of the art. Claude St. Aubin and Kevin Sharpe have made Starfire look better than she has in any series since her appearances in The New Teen Titans. And yes, I'm counting the art in the early issues of the Titans book in there, as well as how Ed McGuiness drew her in Superman/Batman. I've never been a huge Starfire fan, something that was cemented by the cartoon, but it seems to me like she's never been more feminist or had more integrity than she does in this series. I'd never expected to describe a woman whose sole reason for living used to be Dick Grayson as a 'feminist', but god damn, Kory. Way to go. Also, and this is a major SPOILER ALERT, last page, are those a bunch of tanks of Czarnians?! Holy shit.
God damn, Gail. I know I'm taking the lord's name in vain an awful lot this week, but can you blame me? Huntress vs Shiva, and Helena is still alive? The art kinda threw me for a bit of a loop, in that it wasn't the best. Kind of like a watered-down version of something Francis Manapul would draw with his unnatural hand. But good god on the mountaintop, can Lee and Melo do a fight scene. It was that alone that redeemed the art for me. Gail, I'd gush more, but I honestly can't think of anything that I haven't said a hundred times before. You're an earthbound angel, lady.
Well, that was my week in comics. For anyone who cares to check it out, I've started a weekly thread in the Comics board on Gaia Online's forums called The Appeal of Fandom, which flows a lot like this here blog. Only, instead of being a breakdown of books, I examine popular things within comic fandom. It's all pretty simple, but fun! I'm actually going to go check in on it now, see y'all next week!

A review of Gender, Education, and Training, edited by Caroline
Sweetman. 1998.
Our schools are still schooling for subordination and domination, not
for equity! Occasionally I look around for some new perspective, to open a new
window on the world. Right now I am riveted by Sweetman's collection of
unruly articles on the relation of gender to education and training for
sustainable development worldwide.
Women are usually educated to fit into a scheme of development that is
overwhelmingly patriarchal--in the first world as well as the third
world. But that model has proven unsustainable, largely because it does not
accept change in reproduction and population issues. Instead, women must
become central in shaping the direction of development. To take that
position of leadership, they need to develop their own strong gender
analyses of local situations, and work out their own solutions.
In other words, women's subordination does not change if women are
simply schooled to accept their usual marginal positions in society.
That is why here in the United States girls and women are doing better,
more or less, than boys and men academically--but there is still only
about 15 percent representation of women in the US Congress, and women
still earn only 75 cents to a man's dollar, and do most of the unvalued,
and crucial development work of reproduction and raising of children:
Our schools are still schooling for subordination and domination, not
for equity.
The articles in this book describe local initiatives all over the world.
Set your equity imagination on fire with this international anthology.

The Miller Sisters
By Kristi + Scot Redman Published in Shopping & Fashion July 25, 2012 7:03 pm
Last night we ran into the Miller sisters, of A Piece of Toast blogger fame, and they looked absolutely fabulous in their party dresses, neutral handbags, long tresses, and playful summer heels. They always exude impeccable style and we love their fresh take on mixing it up! And we just love their wonderful personalities.

I have somehow been sucked into the One Piece obsession, having started it about a year ago. It quickly became one of my top 3 favorite anime/manga of all time. I had a hard time giving it a fair chance, not liking the art at first and was under the impression it was for children. It's so much more than that, and I can see why it's the top selling anime and manga worldwide, now. Boa Hancock is probably one of my top two favorite females from the series at this point.
At first she comes off as kind of mean, but then you get her back story and it makes perfect sense why she behaves the way she does. She was basically treated as a slave/sex object her whole life, so her Devils Fruit power is the ability to turn people to stone who see her as sexual (thus her connection to Medusa/being a gorgon). She falls in love with Luffy because he is literally the ONLY person (other than her sisters) she has ever met who doesn't see her in a sexual light at all, just as a good person (proven by the fact that she can't turn him to stone…I seriously think Luffy is asexual). She's incredibly strong, and overcame lots of awful things, became a Shichibukai (the only female one!), building an empire and saying "FU" to the navy when she wants. And she is very sweet, kind, and defensive to those that she loves. She has a LOT of depth for a female character, something very rare in shows geared towards guys and especially in women designed to be viewed as sexual objects.
I could write an essay. I LOVE Boa so much!!!!
These photos were all taken by Robby Idol Media. I hope to get a lot more this DragonCon!
I was able to have a big One Piece gathering at Megacon '15, everyone looked phenomenal!! It was awesome!!
I had a wonderful group get together at Dragoncon! All of these photos were taken by LJinto!

Seumas Milne is right that governments should start bailing out the real economy, rather than the banks, with public investment for growth (The elite still can't face up to it: Europe's model has failed, 3 November). But from where will the funds come for this? A Tobin tax will not generate sufficient, even if it could be made to work internationally, but there is alternative.
A central cause of current economic instability has been the astonishing accumulation of private wealth to the richest 10%, and the use of this in deregulated global markets for speculative trading and purchase of assets including property, currencies and commodities (Markets slump after Greek referendum call, 1 November). So the $43bn funding gap of Greece's government is matched by about the same amount going offshore, much of it reported as being put into the London property market by wealthy Greeks. This continues to rise while others slump. On a larger scale we might look at the New York Mellon Bank, which holds the assets of high worth people, and whose website notes that it is "focused to help clients manage and move their financial assets". These, in this one bank are listed as $25.9trn, which is of course enough to pay off the US national debt, solve the euro debt crisis and have change.
The world is awash with cash, while the productive capacity of its peoples and industry is the greatest in human history. But instead of taking some of these assets and using them to promote investment in a sustainable economy, the preferred government solutions are to print money and impose cuts which affect the poorest and create unemployment. The first of these generates inflation, damaging pensions and savings while adding to the financial stress caused by the second.
The obvious solution is a wealth tax on the richest 10%, which we first advocated a year ago. Now the head of the biggest bank in Italy, Corrado Passera, is also promoting the idea, saying that Italy's $2,750bn debt could be resolved by a tax on Italy's private wealth. This is five times the size of its debt. It also shows how misled we are by media and political commentary on "countries going bankrupt", when what is actually being described is a cash flow problem.
Other solutions such as effective income tax will be needed in the long run but what is crucial now is a fundamental restructuring of social wealth to repair the huge damage caused by the release of the free market, and the political courage to plan an economy of the future.

• The problem is that charity – individual or corporate giving based on sentiment, whim or guilt – represents the privatisation of compassion and solidarity (Timothy Garton Ash, 3 November). Rattling a collecting tin under the noses of City profiteers – rather than legislating to outlaw their socially useless activities, control their remuneration and enforce tax compliance – would just offer them the opportunity for a feelgood moment, rather than educating them in their collective responsibility towards the society they seem to think exists only for them to exploit. No doubt they're all dutifully sporting their remembrance poppies this week.

Political Figures, Celebrities, Media & Entertainment Executives Came Together on May 5th to Celebrate Programming for, by and about Women
Los Angeles – May 11, 2016 – A reoccurring message of empowerment for women and the importance of opening doors for future generations resonated at the Alliance for Women in Media Southern California Foundation (AWM SoCal) 57th Annual Genii Awards held on May 5th during Digital Hollywood at the Skirball Cultural Center. The gala recognized the very best in media and entertainment and was a fundraiser for the nonprofit AWM SoCal Foundation and its student scholarship program. The Awards Ceremony was co-hosted by comedian Matt Iseman, host for American Ninja Warrior and Erica Olsen, Emmy®-nominated on-air host for CBS2/KCAL9 (and former AWM SoCal president).
The importance of women helping other women was the general buzz on the Red Carpet and in the Genii Awards Ceremony. AWM SoCal heard from several accomplished trailblazers in media and entertainment during the course of the evening:
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer presented the Excellence in Documentary Award to her daughter, Nicole Boxer at the gala. "If you really want to know what an excited mother looks like, I am the model. I am thrilled. It's one of those great moments, because Nicole has worked so hard and her subject matter has been difficult. She has taken issues not in the public eye, like homelessness for women and the trauma they went through, rape in the military, rape on college campuses – very tough issues - and she has brought them to light and I am so proud of her," stated Senator Barbara Boxer. "It's the perfect Mother's Day gift."
"Just having an evening like this and getting a chance to see other women that you admire and inspire you at this event, it's a reminder of the importance of connecting with other women and helping other women as well," stated Tracey Edmonds, co-host for Extra TV. Tracey and her fellow co-host Charissa Thompson took home the Excellence in Entertainment Award.
"I really like supporting women, especially those who are connected to the industry, because there aren't enough of them and the more we can put a spotlight on their achievements, the more we can gradually change the narrative," said Fran Drescher, actor and Founder of Cancer Schmancer. Drescher presented Lisa Meier, VP at Time Warner Cable with the Excellence in New Media Award at the gala and is a two-time Golden Globe, Emmy® nominee, best known for her role as "Miss Fine" on The Nanny, a show that she created and executive produced.
"I really like the idea of the Rising Star Award and I think it's really important to support the people coming up the ranks that are trying to pursue their dreams and be excellent in media because they are our future," said Erica Olsen Genii co-host from the Red Carpet.
"Meet as many people as possible that are living your passion. There's nothing more flattering to a mentor, which I now am, than someone that wants to be you," stated Fran Zone, founder, Zone Communication. "So all you want to do is help them and help them find a better way faster."
"This organization (AWM SoCal) reflects women supporting women - really honoring the brilliance of who they are, "stated Gabrielle Carteris on the Red Carpet. "I'm here tonight to be a part of that, not only as a performer, but as the president of SAG-AFTRA, I want to go and recognize some of our members that have really done beautiful work."
"Girls should rule the world. This is just the beginning. It should be all women, all the time," said Tish Ciravolo, President of Daisy Rock Girl Guitars. "Just go after your dreams. Live it every day and drink lots of coffee."
"It's so wonderful to be a woman right now and a director and to have an organization like this (AWM SoCal) lifting other women up," stated Susan Davis award-winning film director and Honoree.
"It is so imperative that we lift each other up," stated Shaun Robinson Emmy® Award-winning journalist and TV host. "I'm really passionate about helping other women coming up in the business. I always mentor young girls and give them advice and try to do my best to empower them." Robinson, presented the Excellence in Entertainment Award to Extra TV co-hosts Tracey Edmonds and Charissa Thompson at the gala event.
I would like to congratulate all of the Honorees and Presenters for their incredible contributions to our industry and for their participation in this year's Genii Awards, "said Bonnie Gallanter, AWM SoCal VP Programming and Genii Awards Producer. "It takes a village to produce an event like this, and we are so fortunate to have the support of these amazing men and women, our Genii co-hosts and the support of our incredible sponsors, volunteers and Board members that made an evening dedicated to 'celebrating women in media and entertainment' possible."

A video posted on Instagram seems to further confirm they spent the 4th together as …Read More »

Franchise : David Myhill Area : Reading
My 3 objectives when buying this franchise were to gain a work life balance that I was in control of, a business that I could grow if I chose to and something that I could operate
Flexibility running business your way
"The 3 best things so far are not having to answer to anybody!, managing my own day/week and the total flexibility to run a business my way, albeit under the umbrella of a tried and tested business"
David joined Snack in the Box in April 2016 and now services the Reading area. He has a number of Vending Boxes, Slimline Machines and Large Combination machines now sited in customer premises.
Snack in the Box asked David why he looked at us in the first place, what were his personal objectives, what it was like running the business in the 'early days', what are his future plans and most importantly – is he hitting the Sales Targets provided by Snack in the Box...
"What made you first look at SITB?"
"Snack in the box was a business that I looked at along with some other franchises, it was quickly obvious that the snack route was something that seemed easy to start, was a brand that was very recognised and allowed me to sell in a product with confidence with no preparation as such involved, .i.e kitchen/cooking/etc...."
"Why did you ultimately choose a SITB Franchise?"
"Ultimately choosing snack in the box came down to the package that was on offer, along with the territory which was local, yet large enough to grow into should I wish, also a telling factor was the service provided by the SITB Sales Director, Sean Cleveland, in terms of the relaxed approach which didn't put me under any pressure but allowed me to decide for myself. Obviously the business plan and projections were important and the field day with a franchisee and the transparency of information was a big telling factor"
"Prior to purchasing the Franchise, how detailed was the SITB 'sales/selection' process?"
"The sales projections were shown in simple terms with a realistic net profit being shown, the whole business was not oversold, but was described as shown with very realistic looking growth figures"
"What were your 3 key personal objectives when buying the franchise?"
"My 3 objectives when buying this franchise were to gain a work life balance that I was in control of, a business that I could grow if I chose to and something that I could operate easily required no re-training"
"How did you find the initial training – did it help you in your early days as a franchisee?"
"The whole training package was very well planned, from head office machine training day one to meeting and servicing my accounts with the existing distributor, the whole handover process was relaxed yet concise, allowing me to meet and see the vital elements of the business I was about to take on"
"In terms of the Launch Programme, did SITB deliver what was promised?"
Yes, the launch programme was structured in such a way that it allowed me a very accurate overview and timeline of my business and the tools I would need to hit the ground running from day one going live.
"What have the support levels for us been like?"
"The support to date has been very good, the whole franchise manager gives me a sounding board and a first point of contact in the event of me having any issues, and there have been a few, none of which we haven't managed to solve with minimal fuss, I think having a franchise manager who has hands on knowledge of running a franchise is the perfect dynamic to give me a quick and accurate resolution to any issues. Engineering support is also very good and again machine issues have generally been dealt with quickly. There are things that I think could help all franchisees and take some of the pressure off this department"
"What are the 3 best things about running the business?"
The 3 best things so far are not having to answer to anybody!, managing my own day/week and the total flexibility to run a business my way, albeit under the umbrella of a tried and tested business.
"Are you hitting your sales targets?"
So far the Sales based on my territory have in my mind been very consistent, it has taken some time to establish my week in terms of which accounts to visit and how often, initially I was trying to see everybody every week, this was not unrealistic but unnecessary as my thought process has evolved and as I have got to know my customers and gain their trust I now find it much easier to know my business. The short term plan now is to grow key areas within my territory as I have more time on my hands through working smarter not harder.
"What are your mid-term and long-term goals for the business?"
There are many options going forward, the easiest one is to utilise the sales expertise within the franchise to add accounts to my business, this will replace and refresh my customer base allowing some poorer performing accounts to be removed without effecting , hopefully benefiting the turnover. There are other possibilities which I haven't scratched the surface of as yet in terms of possibly expanding the area allowing perhaps somebody else to come on board perhaps self-employed? To operate a part of my area, but these are things that I'm unsure of logistically but will discuss going forward.

Today in Florida: "Rambo" Charged with Attempted Murder of Bar Patrons
A Florida man drew first blood when he walked into the Europa Lounge bar in Palm Coast dressed as Sylvester Stallone's iconic 1980's action hero "Rambo." Daniel Allen Noble had been drinking quietly at the bar earlier in the night, but left and returned around 11:30PM packing an Uzi style assault rifle and two hunting knives.
"I AM the law!" – Wait, wrong movie.
The would-be Rambo started challenging bar patrons to a fight who he thought were expendable. However two customers with war in their blood quickly grabbed the barrel of the riffle, pointing it toward the ground when two shots went off. Before he was knocked unconscious, Noble pulled one of his knives and he cut the two men restraining him. Police later arrived to find Nobel pinned down by bar customers. I'm guessing the sherrif isn't going to take too kindly to his type messing up his town.
[[contentId: 2588235| alt: | style: height:212px; width:500px]]
He probably won't get to win this time either as he's been charged with attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery with a deadly weapon. Looks like he is going to be locked up for a long time… at least until the United States military has a covert operation that only one man can handle.
On a side note, I just remembered that the first Rambo movie, "First Blood" was about a demented police department abusing a decorated war veteran. What ever happened to that police department? Did they get fined or anything? That's kind of messed up.

I just need to vent. I'm kind of upset right now, so if I say anything that is awful, please forgive me.
I'm just really tired and frustrated right now with useless internet information. I have encountered a lot of complications through this whole pregnancy process, and just once I would like to google one of these complications (like "cramping, pregnancy") witout getting 3,000 hits with MISCARRAIGE in big bold letters as the title, and no other useful information than what early miscarrage is all about, or ads for crap.
I don't need or want magazine subscriptions, blog subscriptions, or want to have coupons sent to me. I don't want to shop. I want some clear, easy to understand answers to the problems I am dealing with!
What little actual useful information out there seems to be very generic and seems to conflict from one site to the next.
Example of what I am dealing with - I have a placenta tear at 14 weeks. I want just some factual information on this. Apparently, I'm not the only one dealing with this, because I've hit about 100 blog sites with women asking the same questions I'm asking, and getting zero useful answers in reply. I don't have placenta previa, but apparently every search engine seems to think I have this or that I need to slog through millions of sights on miscarraige again.
I'm just really frustrated right now!

A multi-purpose complex that besides sporting events, is used for concerts and musical events, due to its excellently enhanced sound features.
In the conceptual design of the structure, the following synthetic decisions were made:
- use of a strong longitudinal structural system, comprising a spatial reticular arch, hinged to the imposts, and pressure eliminated by using a tie beam of pre-stressed reinforced concrete;
- use of two lateral substructures formed by arched beams, placed transversally with consistent inter-axis, with fixed support at the base (corresponding with the reinforced concrete structure) and sliding support, positioned in correspondence to the extrados of the main arch;
- use of a bracing and lateral stabilizing system made of pre-stressed galvanized spiral cables;
- use of a mixed ventilated roofing system of pre-painted corrugated sheets and polyester membrane and double Tedlar curvature with high pre-stressing.

Correcting your vision
Posted by Jana on 6/26/2007 at 2:39 PM
Hi I was wondering what some options are to be able to drive? I have nystagmus and I go to see my eye doctor next week and am compiling questions to ask her about driving. Since last time she told me that I can't drive but I feel like I can. I've heard people say that their vision is like "20/50 corrected". What does that mean? PLEASE HELP!!! =D
There are currently 5 replies
Re: Correcting your visionPosted by TheBlind.US on 9/15/2012 at 12:13 PM
I correct mind with regular glasses. Though I cant always tell where the 20/20 section of my sight is.
Re:Correcting your visionPosted by email@example.com on 1/28/2008 at 9:03 PM
my son had a tbi in2002, and he has no left phepherial vision from either side, is there anything that we can do about it, he may not never drive again and he is only 26, is there anything they can do to a car that he may be able to drive?
Re:Correcting your visionPosted by vero21 on 12/1/2007 at 2:32 PM
My vision in about 20/50 corrected, with no sight in my right eye, and live in CT and I was able to get my lisence, but had to get special vision testing at my eye docs.
Re:Correcting your visionPosted by Jana on 7/4/2007 at 12:54 PM
You are so lucky! I found out that my vision is 20/200 for distance and 20/30-40 close up. So I guess driving is out of the question for me. Good luck driving!
Re:Correcting your visionPosted by emilybrown on 7/3/2007 at 5:06 PM
I'm about to get my drivers license (I'm kind of scared), but when they say that their vision is "20/50 corrected" it means that with corrective lenses their vision is 20/50. Without corrective lenses, their vision is probably much worse.
There are different requirements for different states, but I think if you are visually impaired, it is a little bit harder to get a license, but just research the requirements for your state!

BY enlisting the aid of Russia and Eastern European countries in its Bosnia mission, NATO is hoping to ''square a circle.''
The challenge is how to fit Eastern Europe into NATO's umbrella without provoking Russia, which remains adamantly opposed to enlarging the Atlantic alliance. It's one of the biggest security issues facing Europe and the United States.
The ''peace implementation force'' (IFOR) heading to Bosnia to enforce the Dayton, Ohio, peace accord has ''great implications for Bosnia but even greater consequences for the strategic relationship between NATO and Russia,'' British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said here this week.
American Secretary of State Warren Christopher noted that soldiers of ''virtually every European power will serve together'' in IFOR. It will include military participation by all 15 NATO members who have armed forces (Iceland does not); 13 countries from Austria to Ukraine that belong to the Partnership for Peace, a military cooperation program with NATO; and Pakistan.
The risks of so broad a multinational operation are evident. But as an actual military operation, and not just an exercise or a planning session, IFOR should show how well both Russia and would-be NATO members work with the Alliance.
Russia is too weak to invade its former Warsaw Pact ''allies,'' but those countries want above all to avoid being caught in the same kind of mid-European power vacuum that sucked away their independence after World War I. They want to belong to NATO.
Russia remains a major military power and a potentially unstable one. And so it is broadly accepted that NATO ''enlargement,'' as it is known, must be accompanied by some new structure for the NATO-Russian dialogue.
Speaking of his country's relationship with the West, Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev said here this week: ''Personally, I don't think the confrontational way will help solve problems.... The other mode is to address [them] in a cooperative partnership-type way, even disagree in a mutually respectful, cooperative-type way.''
Yet this week's controversy over how the Dayton accord addresses the civil rights of Serbs in Sarajevo shows how difficult it can be for NATO to take decisive action. Russia can help IFOR because it has credibility with the Serbs. But if ''peace enforcement'' breaks down into great-power patrons bickering among themselves over the interests of their clients, the same forces that plunged Europe into World War I will be at work.
Just how Russian forces will participate in the Bosnia mission is another potential sticking point. Russian troops will serve in Bosnia through a mechanism that has been praised for its ingenuity. They will not be under a NATO commander, but an American, Gen. George Joulwan - who just happens to be NATO supreme commander. But the US does not have a ''specific written memorandum of understanding with the Russians yet,'' says State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns.
''We're working on it,'' he adds.

Are there any consumer grade scanners that will scan APS film? I can't seem to find one anywhere.... or are there places that will do it cheap?
Is it also able to acquire the data (time and date when picture was taken) from the film as well? do you have a shop in the US?
The date and time the picture was taken is recorded onto the film magnetically or optically (the Wikipedia entry on Advanced Photo System film explains it much better than I could) and was hoping that info could automatically saved with the scans.

The Role of IT in Business Strategy
While 86 percent of A/E/C firms have found their IT advances to be profitable, close to two-thirds believe that its costs are too high.
While 86 percent of architecture, engineering and construction firms have found their IT advances to be profitable, close to two-thirds believe that its costs are too high, concludes a recent survey conducted by PSMJ Resources, Inc., Newton, Mass.
For firms where IT advances are initiated by top management, 69 percent believe that IT is expensive, but results are positive, whereas firms whose IT managers make IT strategy and investment and decisions, 53 percent of respondents indicated that they are satisfied with their IT systems, and 48 percent feel they are achieving significant savings.
"This indicates top management takes a more strategic approach than IT managers," explained William Fanning, PSMJ's director of research. "Top managers view IT spending as necessary to the success of their business strategy, and feel more satisfied with IT expenditures as a result."
According to the survey, the median number of IT staff per 100 employees is one person. For firms with less than 50 employees, an IT specialist is often not hired.

Elsa (Idina Menzel) demonstrates traits of paranoid personality disorder. She is definitely guarded and suspicious. She is so scared her powers will hurt someone again that she closes herself off. Also, she does not want to strike others with "fear"; Elsa wants to be accepted, not chased away. Her fear turns to humiliation and, after showing her true powers, she withdraws to a mountain to escape society.
Borderline personality disorder can be found in Anna (Kristen Bell). It is termed borderline because it has symptoms of a combination of disorders. She appears to be a bit schizophrenic when she "start[s] talking to the pictures on the walls". Borderline personality disorder also involves impulsiveness and unstable relationships. Anna does get engaged to Hans (Santino Fontana) alarmingly quick. She is even more than happy to run off alone in a snow storm, attempt to climb a mountain, and jump into a "100 foot drop" off a cliff. Although these are no actual attempts at suicide, an on looker could interpret these actions as steps towards suicide.
The schizotypal disorder is shown through Olaf. He most definitely has magical thinking; he "loves the idea of summer and sun and all things hot" even though he is a snowman. Although he has no issue with meeting people, he does have awkward social cues. He thinks it is acceptable to say "I've been impaled" and giggle. And he has no emotion when he points out he has "no scull or bones". These are not exactly normal, everyday things to say.
Although I do not assert that all of these characters exhibit the anti-social characteristics of these disorders, they do fit into them in some way. This is mostly due to their lack of interaction with society. In reality, most people fit into one of these disorders, or the other 5 not mentioned, in some way.
Other ideas on the movies I write about are always welcome, but some of the 7 hidden meanings may be a bit farfetched…
Always keep in mind there are many interpretations to any movie, book, story, or situation. No one is exactly correct.
Thanks for reading!!!

Stocks and government bonds stumbled Tuesday following a "scary reversal" in the markets at around 1 p.m., where equities, Treasurys, gold and oil fell at the same time — something "Fast Money" trader Joe Terranova said investors never want to see.
"I think you have to be concerned. If that's a glimpse of potentially what could be in the future in 2011 based off a failed Treasury auction, that is clearly problematic," said Terranova, chief market strategist of Virtus Investment Partners. "I'm still long, but I am clearly not as long as I was this morning."

Tucson is one of the oldest continually inhabited areas in North America. Originally settled by Hohokam Indians, the city has been called home by Spanish missionaries, soldiers, cattle ranchers and farmers. Mission San Xavier del Bac (The White Dove of the Desert) and the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson (The Old Pueblo) are reminders of this historical development. Nearby towns of Bisbee and Tombstone offer a wide range of attractions and entertainment for visitors of all types.
Set in a Sonoran Desert Valley, Tucson is surrounded by five mountain ranges and bordered on all sides by natural areas. Hiking is an ideal way to explore the varied terrain and diverse wildlife in Southern Arizona, with landscapes ranging from cacti-covered hills to pine-topped mountains. More than 300 miles of mountain bike trails provide an endless assortment of challenges in both desert and mountain terrain.
