You know how you really, really look forward to something all week, and then when it comes it's just a big disappointment and you just feel kind of…cheated?
I felt this way twice this week. The first was dinner at Market Kitchen Restaurant, Manchester – the food was bland, the portions small, the service slow. The waiter got shouted at so many times I felt sorry for him and left him a tip even though it took 15 minutes just to get some sugar!
Then this. I was looking forward to a facial so, so much and decided on the Urban Oasis Spa at Debenhams, Manchester for a Lymphatic Drainage & Detoxifying Aromatherapy Facial. This was £50 for 60 minutes. I had a £25 gift voucher which I used towards it.
They say:
This is a fabulous treatment that deep cleanses the skin and uses gorgeous oils and lotions to detoxify the skin. A specialised massage sequence stimulates the skins regenerative properties and increases blood circulation encouraging toxins to drain away through the lymphatic nodes. A deep massage to the neck and shoulders is included.
When I first arrived to the salon, the place looked a bit odd – bare, no proper reception area but it's upstairs in Debenhams which is a bit old and saggy anyhow so that I'll forgive.
Right away I had to pay for the treatment, which I found a bit odd – are people who use gift vouchers more likely to do a runner after their treatment? Answers on a post card.
Ok, rant starting…
So I waited a while – curiously now I think about it, no consultation card was filled in.
My therapist – who might I add, was very nice, I'm not questioning her niceness – asked me quickly what skin type I had, if I had any allergies and that was it.
She made the bed in front of me and asked me to get ready, the usual way whilst some sort of loud wind machine/air conditioning thing blew away in the corner of the room. The therapist did turn this off when the treatment started but then that was replaced with some weird ticking, then dinging (when the microwave thing that heated the towel was ready!) then some other humming began which I couldn't place.
Basically – it wasn't very quiet, and I'm not referring to the background music – there's was lots of other sounds and noises going on.
The ambience of the room was ok – it was nice and dark but it was chilly. She never asked me if I was too hot or too cold and I only had a towel to cover me as opposed to a proper blanket like some places have.
Where my room was, there was a lot of noise. I could hear the phone ringing at reception and I could hear people walking past and the doors opening and closing.
The Treatment
Now the treatment…hmmmm. The reason I chose this facial is because it sounded like there would be some serious massaging going on which was just what I needed. Alas….the whole treatment was disjointed, a series of products applied one after the other, and rather cold.
I say the treatment felt disjointed, because for the first at least 40 minutes, it was like a cleansing routine; Cleanser, scrub, some other kind of scrub, a mask – there was a lot of cleansing going on and not enough massage.
Even when there was some light massage it felt abrupt and awkward. Every little massage sequence ended with a little press at the side of the temples…it just didn't feel particularly relaxing. It felt too textbook.
The therapist would apply something, turn around to get a cloth to wipe it off, turn back around to get another product, turn around apply it, turn around to get something else…it didn't feel like a 'whole' treatment because of this.
It would've been better if the therapist had the products closer to hand so it wasn't like she was rummaging for things all the time.
There was about 15 minutes of massage, which was quite nice as there was a decent amount of pressure used – that was the best bit of the treatment but it didn't last long enough. I don't know – I'm not a beauty therapist but it felt like as each massage became relaxing, it would cut off and turn into weird pinching or slapping around the chin.
Now, the coldness.
The scrubs, the masks, the cleanser – it's not something I've noticed before in any of my previous facials but I noticed here that everything put on my face was a little chilly – the face mask was practically icy so that's not too relaxing!
This was really disappointing for me, I'm afraid. I was looking forward to it a lot, and it was just far too focused on the cleansing of the skin (If I wanted to use lots of scrubs and masks, I could just do it at home) and there wasn't anywhere enough time of massage.
The spa was also a bit strange; cold and noisy are the best words to describe.
The staff seemed fine, even though no one was about when I left the therapy room after the treatment – I just decided to go rather than loiter and the therapist bumped into me on the way out of the Spa and said bye (not doing a runner, honest! Although, maybe that's why they take payment first, so they can just dump you after you're done!).
Otherwise I would've just left without saying bye to anyone – the two ladies behind the counter were far to busy chatting to even look up.
I didn't name the therapist here because I don't think for a second that she did anything wrong intentionally , it's just the way she's been taught to do this treatment.
I won't be going back here for any facials or massages in the future. I think £50 is not a particularly small amount of money and even though I had a gift voucher I still feel a little cheated.
Hmmm good beauty therapists are hard to find. In Manchester I ADORED the Karin Herzog facial I had with Dawn at Pure Beauty Spa – it's out of the way for me but my next facial will be with her because that was excellent.

SQL Server PowerShell Provider
The SQL Server provider for Windows PowerShell exposes the hierarchy of SQL Server objects in paths similar to file system paths. You can use the paths to locate an object, and then use methods from the SQL Server Management Object (SMO) models to perform actions on the objects.
Benefits of the SQL Server PowerShell Provider
The paths implemented by the SQL Server provider enable easily and interactively reviewing all of the objects in an instance of SQL Server. You can navigate the paths using Windows PowerShell aliases similar to the commands you typically use to navigate file system paths.
The SQL Server PowerShell Hierarchy
Products whose data or object models can be represented in a hierarchy use Windows PowerShell providers to expose the hierarchies. The hierarchy is exposed by using a drive and path structure similar to what the Windows file system uses.
Each Windows PowerShell provider implements one or more drives. Each drive is the root node of a hierarchy of related objects. The SQL Server provider implements a SQLSERVER: drive. The provider also defines a set of primary folders for the SQLSERVER: drive. Each folder and its subfolders represent the set of objects that can be accessed by using a SQL Server management object model. When you are focused on a subfolder in a path that starts with one of these primary folders, you can use the methods from the associated object model to perform actions on the object that is represented by the node. The Windows PowerShell folders implemented by the SQL Server 2014 provider are listed in the following table.
|SQL Server object model namespace
|Database objects, such as tables, views, and stored procedures.
|Policy-based management objects, such as policies and facets.
|Registered server objects, such as server groups and registered servers.
|Utility objects, such as managed instances of the Database Engine.
|Data-tier application objects such as DAC packages, and operations such as deploying a DAC.
|Data collector objects, such as collection sets and configuration stores.
|Integration Services objects such as projects, packages, and environments.
|Analysis Services objects such as cubes, aggregations, and dimensions.
For example, you can use the SQLSERVER:\SQL folder to start paths that can represent any object that is supported by the SMO object model. The leading part of a SQLSERVER:\SQL path is SQLSERVER:\SQL\ComputerName\InstanceName. The nodes after the instance name alternate between object collections (such as Databases or Views) and object names (such as AdventureWorks2012). Schemas are not represented as object classes. When you specify the node for a top-level object in a schema, such as a table or view, you must specify the object name in the format SchemaName.ObjectName.
This is the path of the Vendor table in the Purchasing schema of the AdventureWorks2012 database in a default instance of the Database Engine on the local computer:
For more information about the SMO object model hierarchy, see SMO Object Model Diagram.
Collection nodes in a path are associated with a collection class in the associated object model. Object name nodes are associated with an object class in the associated object model, as in the following table.
|SMO class
SQL Server Provider Tasks
|Task Description
|Describes how to use Windows PowerShell cmdlets to navigate through the nodes in a path, and at each node get a list of the objects at that node.
|Navigate SQL Server PowerShell Paths
|Describes how to use the SMO methods and properties to report on and perform work on the object represented by a node in a path. Also describes how to get a list of the SMO methods and properties for that node.
|Work With SQL Server PowerShell Paths
|Describes how to convert a SMO Uniform Resource Name (URN) to a SQL Server provider path.
|Convert URNs to SQL Server Provider Paths
|Describes how to open SQL Server Authentication connections by using the SQL Server provider. By default, the provider uses Windows Authentication connections made using the credentials of the Windows account running the Windows PowerShell session.
|Manage Authentication in Database Engine PowerShell

Thanks for a most interesting report. I served with (then Capt.) Bob Jamison at Chanute AFB where we were both instructors in the Minutemnan Missile Maintenance Officer's Course. And I do recall occasional office discussion about a number of missiles suddenly going off Strategic Alert at Malmstrom. Electrical and electronic glitches in the Minuteman System were not all that unique- it was an extremely complex weapons system. The UFO part was, to my recollection, never taken seriously- either a practical joke, misunderstood comment or strictly secondhand hearsay. No one in our instructor group seriously thought extraterrestrials were behind this event. But the Air Force DID take EMP seriously. I was sent TDY to Boeing in 1969 for training on a new EMP detection system to be installed in each LCF. The training message was that ALL EMPs, not just those of a nuclear nature, were cause for concern. Grant Taylor Cabot, VT on Did UFOs Disable Minuteman Missiles at Malmstrom AFB in 1967?
Sort of interesting, don't you think?

Denver's Father's Day Massacre, 20 years later
An ex-FBI agent reminded me over coffee this morning that this past Fathers Day marked the 20th anniversary of the Father's Day Massacre, a bank robbery and shooting in which four people were killed at the United Bank Tower (now the Wells Fargo building) on Sunday, June 16, 1991.
It took authorities a few weeks to arrest a suspect, retired police officer James W. King, who had worked as a guard at the bank. (He was arrested on July 4, 1991).
The case captured national attention, with national media coverage and a trial broadcast on Court TV. King hired legendary Denver defense attorney Walter Gerash, and was later acquitted by a Denver jury. King still lives in the metro area, according to public records.
Gerash later wrote a book about the trial, and on the eve of Y2K, the Denver Post called the case one of the top Colorado crimes of the century.
Couldn't let the anniversary go by without at least a mention. The case is one that still bothers law enforcement — many cops and agents have talked to me about it over the years. Do you remember it? Thoughts?

Conn. School Victims Shot Up Close, Multiple Times
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - A medical examiner says all the victims of the Connecticut school shooting were killed up close by multiple gunshot wounds.
Dr. H. Wayne Carver said at a news conference Saturday the deaths are classified as homicides. He says he believes "everybody was hit more than once."
Friday's massacre of 26 children and adults at the elementary school has elicited horror and soul-searching around the world.
Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza. They've questioned his older brother, who's not believed to have been involved in the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary in prosperous Newtown, 60 miles northeast of New York City.
Hundreds of people in the tight-knit community packed a church Friday in a vigil for the victims, including 20 children. Monsignor Robert Weiss says these were "just beautiful, beautiful children."

1955 Chevy Hot Rods - Where It All Began - From The Archives
The Smogger Tri-Fives
In this issue, we have the announcement of the E-Rod engines from GM Performance Parts, a crate engine series with up to 550 hp that is smog-legal for cars '95 and older. It's a breakthrough for smog-legal engine swapping, making far more power than the pathetic attempts of long ago.
HOT ROD upper management pushed an unwilling magazine staff into the smog realm in the early '90s, most notably with the Green Machine '55 Chevy, seen here in an outtake from the Dec. '91 cover shoot. The car wheezed with a smog-legal 350 with a whole 288 hp, and that's before dual cats were offered. The editors didn't understand why we were making a statement with a smog-exempt car, but that didn't slow down the program.
The next two cars were built at California Street Rods, as the Green Machine had been. There was the '57 Son of Green Machine (Nov. '94), which at least had respectable LT1 power, and then the Second Son, an LT1 '56. BFGoodrich folks used these two cars on Power Tour(r). (Incidentally, around this time, CRS also built a '57 for publisher Jim Savas, and staffer Cole Quinnell was building the Pavement Pounder '57; HRM was wearing Tri-Fives into the ground back then.)
The original Green Machine shows up every six months or so on Internet forums; it has been repainted in the original Thom Taylor scheme. The Son and Second Son were sweepstakes cars. Their whereabouts are unknown.
Disco Camaro
One page ago, we described HOT ROD's smog-legal Tri-Five Chevy projects of the '90s. There were also two emissions-related Camaros, the second-gen Clean Air Camaro and the third-gen Fast-Forward F-Body. Neither was a barnstormer, but we're ready to wear smog-legal Camaros into the ground once again, as our project car for the latest E-Rod package from GM Performance Parts will be a '79 Camaro Z28. We plan to glorify the rubber-bumper disco years that have not seen much magazine ink because most of the car mags are in California, where anything newer than '75 is subject to emissions restrictions. The E-Rod will change that.
We're not ready to reveal our exact car just yet, so here's an original GM press photo of a Z28 from 1979, the single biggest year for Camaro sales. We think we can see the doors already sagging.
40th Anniversary '55
We're not done with E-Rod-related flashbacks just yet. If you check out page 51, you'll see the Clean Rod, a '55 Chevy that GM built in 2009 to promote the new line of crate engines. The car GM used has been in the company fleet forever. It's the same one (seen below) as the Heritage car built for the 40th anniversary of the small-block V-8. It was built in 1995 with a 265ci LT1 in tribute to the original 265 in 1955 and made 329 hp while running low 14s at the drags.
We recently ran into Mark McPhail, who was then the GM Raceshop engineer in charge of the program (and who is now consulting on performance upgrades as McPhail Performance). He told us that the Heritage '55 was seen in more than 50 magazines and newspapers of the time, including the Sept. '95 issue of HOT ROD. This photo is from Power Tour(r) in 1996.
More Chip
The photo of the Fairmont is from Car Craft, but we drudged it up for three reasons. First, a little background: The Street/FX concept of building cars was fabricated by the CC staff, launched with the Feb. '89 cover of Car Craft, then hammered home with a Ford Fairmont project car of the same theme, all in '89 issues. The car itself was given away to a participant in the CC show series from that year, and if it's still out there somewhere in the hands of prideful ownership, we apologize in advance.
The reasons we are reliving the failure are: 1) Believe it or not, this car was designed by Chip Foose, the same Chip Foose seen in this month's cover feature and in the "Your Own Shop" story. He didn't return our calls near press time, so this is a little payback. 2) The Street/FX car was managed by then CC Feature Editor Jerry Pitt, who is now the publisher of HOT ROD. He calls us too often, so this is a little payback. 3) The whole Street/FX movement is a glaring example that magazines can't force trends to happen, though the audience often thinks that's our mission in life. So now you don't need to call us on that after reading this month's "All the Rage" article.
To give Chip a bit of a break, we also dug up outtakes from the two covers of HRM on which he personally appeared. The yellow car is Boyd's Smoothster that Foose designed, and that was on the Jan. '95 cover. The photo of Chip with Boyd is a candid from the May '96 cover shoot with the Boydster.

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, constructed in 1993, is a property on Las Vegas Boulevard with a Caribbean pirate theme. Amenities include an outdoor swimming pool in a tropical setting, on-site massages, 10 restaurants, and six bars and lounges. Room rates are as low as $41 plus a $29 resort fee per night. The resort fee includes access to the fitness center, two buffets for the price of one, two cocktails for the price of one, in-room local telephone calls, and high-speed Internet access.
Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is the most luxurious hotel in downtown Las Vegas. There are seven restaurants, including the Chart House, which has a 75,000 gallon aquarium. The hotel has a three-story water slide that plunges by way of a secure tube through a shark tank. Suites in the Spa Tower are two-level, with living and dining areas, a wet bar, and large bathrooms featuring a two-person spa tub. Nightly guest room rates start at $63 with a $20 resort fee.
Wynn Las Vegas, a 5-star resort on Las Vegas Boulevard, is the winner of multiple travel awards, including more Forbes Travel Guide Five Star awards than any other independent hotel company in the world. There are 2,716 rooms in this 50-floor curved bronze-colored building. The property has an 18-hole golf course, two award-winning spas, 10 restaurants, and three nightclubs. Room rates at the low-end average $151 per day. A mandatory $29 daily resort fee, added to all guest room bills includes unlimited local and continental US long distance telephone calls, Internet access, fitness center access, and the printing of boarding passes. The Salon Suite is $900 per night, and the mandatory daily resort fee is $140.
The rate for a two-bedroom bi-level 3,000-square foot SKYLOFT at MGM Grand is $1398 per night plus a mandatory daily resort fee of $168 (including tax). There is one king bed and two queen beds.
Airbnb is an online marketplace for people looking to rent a room in their home, or their entire apartment, condominium, or house, with travelers looking for less traditional places to stay. There are more than 1000 Airbnb listings for properties in Las Vegas, with rates ranging from $15 per night to $100 and up, all with a service fee averaging $30. Some owners will pick you up at the airport, and some will let you use their kitchen. You will probably save money if you stay in someone's home instead of at a hotel-casino, but you will have a lot less flexibility.
Las Vegas entrepreneurs, realizing that not every visitor likes staying in a hotel with 2,000 to 3,000 rooms, purchased smaller neglected properties and spent tens of millions of dollars transforming them into boutique hotels. The first boutique hotel, an independent property, was the Cromwell, a $186-million renovation of the Barbary Coast. Amenities at this 188-room hotel include an 11th floor roof top swimming pool and a 260-seat Italian restaurant run by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis. The property provides a free breakfast buffet in the casino bar every morning which includes freshly squeezed juice, an oatmeal bar with a lot of add-ins, and a station preparing made-to-order omelets.
There are many hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard that are close to McCarran International Airport.
Luxor Hotel and Casino, shaped like an Egyptian pyramid, has a fully intact sphinx in front of the building. This hotel, the sixth-largest in the world, has 4000 guest rooms, 442 of which are suites, and nine restaurants. The hotel has four swimming pools and a health spa. Rates start at $40 per night.
Excalibur Hotel and Casino is a family friendly property. This MGM Resorts International hotel has a castle theme with medieval references and a dungeon arcade. The dinner show features jousting battles reminiscent of England centuries ago. Rates start at $28 plus a $20 resort fee per night.
Rates at New York–New York Hotel & Casino start at $72 plus a $28 resort per room per night. Where else can you see Washington Square, the Chrysler Building, and the Statue of Liberty in the same field of view? There are 13 restaurants and bars, several of which are branches of ones found in Manhattan (New York City).
If you cannot afford to travel to Paris, France, consider staying at Paris Las Vegas. A feature of this hotel-casino on Las Vegas Boulevard is a half-size Eiffel Tower. There is a restaurant at the tower's 110-foot level. Travel to the top of the structure at night for a memorable view of the American "City of Lights." Depending upon when you travel, room rates are as low as $97 to $154, with a resort fee of $25.
If you don't want to travel vicariously to Paris, consider a virtual trip to Venice, Italy. Stay at The Venetian and let a singing gondolier take you on a ride along the Grand Canal in an authentic gondola from Venice. Enjoy a meal at a celebrity chef's restaurant.
The best time to travel to Las Vegas is any time you want to take a break — the weather at home is cold and snowy, weekends are boring, your favorite entertainer is headlining a show, you want to get married without a lot of fuss or expense, there is a championship boxing match you want to see. Winters are cool, with average temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees. Summers are very hot with daytime temperatures over 100 degrees. Bring a sweater or light jacket if you are vacationing in Las Vegas during the summer. Desert temperatures can drop considerably in the evening, and air-conditioned buildings are sometimes uncomfortably cold.
The few days before and after New Year's Eve are very crowded, as are the days before and after the Fourth of July. Make your travel plans as early as possible during these holiday periods.
The best part of downtown Las Vegas is Fremont Street Experience, a pedestrian mall and attraction venue on the five westernmost blocks of Fremont Street and some adjacent streets. Four of Fremont Street's blocks, part of the area called Glitter Gulch, have a barrel vault canopy 1500-feet long and 90-feet high. Las Vegas is known for never turning off outside casino lights, with one exception. The bright outside lights of all building under the canopy, including those of the casinos, are off during the sound and light show on Fremont Street's Viva Vision screens.
Travel down Fremont Street on the SlotZilla Zip Line. Designed to resemble a slot machine, the lower level of the zip line is 77 feet above the street. The upper level zip line is 114 feet up. Adventurous people fly on the upper zip line in a prone position — think Superman flying over the streets of Metropolis.
Enjoy free concerts held on three stages under the Fremont Street canopy. There are no seats. Find a wall against which to lean.
No matter what hour in the 24 you are driving, traffic anywhere near Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip) is generally bumper-to-bumper. Most of the streets intersecting the Strip in the central part of this major thoroughfare are one-way. This creates difficulty returning to the street you want if you miss your turn.
Some hotel-casino properties offer self-parking, but it is expensive, and the walk from the parking lot to the building is long. There is valet parking, but the line of cars waiting in line for a parking attendant is often backed up on to street.
Park your car at your hotel, and take a taxi, a bus traveling along the Strip, or the Las Vegas Monorail.
Shared shuttle buses or vans, which hold six to 20 people, offer door-to-door service from the airport to your hotel. You won't have a non-stop ride unless you are staying close to the airport. The vehicle will stop at several properties both on and off Las Vegas Boulevard.
Neon signs are everywhere in Las Vegas. Many of the iconic designs are part of the city's history. A non-profit organization, dedicated to keeping these works of art from ending up in a dumpster, established the Neon Museum. The organization conducts one-hour guided tours of the Neon Boneyard, broken, preserved, and restored signs. The museum recommends advance ticket purchases for a specified tour time.
The Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement is in Downtown Las Vegas. Popularly known as the Mob Museum, this facility shows visitors both sides of the criminal activity story. Purchase tickets online for a stated time interval.
The Las Vegas Car Museum on Las Vegas Boulevard features exotic cars from the 1920s to the 1980s. Go online, select a desired date and arrival time, and buy your museum access ticket. For an extra fee, you can arrange to test drive one of these speed-loving vehicles.
Las Vegas does not have a professional sports team. Multiple attempts to bring pro football to Las Vegas have failed. Thomas & Mack Center on the University of Nevada-Las Vegas campus is a multi-purpose stadium. Attend UNLV's Runnin' Rebels basketball games, watch rodeo championship events, and have a great seat for a live boxing match.
Elvis Presley married Priscilla Ann Wagner in an 8-minute ceremony at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas in 1967. This event started the craze of having short wedding ceremonies with Elvis themes at hotel-casinos and small wedding chapels on and off the Strip and in the downtown area.
The Aladdin Hotel site is now home to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The resort, capitalizing on the Presley wedding occurring at their site decades ago, offers an Elvis and Priscilla hotel and wedding package, complete with Elvis and Priscilla impersonators.
Some Elvis impersonators sing, some walk the bride down the aisle, and a few pick the bride and groom up at the airport. Armed with the proper license, there are Elvis impersonators who perform wedding ceremonies. Some chapels have arranged for Priscilla impersonators to serve as the bride's attendants, and for Elvis impersonators to serves as groomsmen.
When you have reservations for a performance in a large hotel-casino showroom and get to the front of the line for seating, immediately and quietly hand the person doing the seating a tip. You will receive a seat with a better view of the stage, often much closer.
Many showrooms include drinks in the price of the show tickets, with all drinks being brought to you before the performance begins. Ask for ice in a separate glass.
People working in the restaurants, souvenir shops, and hotels and motels — both with and without a casino — all wear a name tag. When you meet someone, immediately look at their name tag, and address them by their name when interacting with them. You'll receive much better service or a more helpful reply to your questions if you do.
Have a stack of one dollar bills handy, and tip the people who help you. They'll remember you the next time they see you, and will give better service then, too.

Graduate Assistants: Alisha Martindale, Gillian Sobocinski, Kristin Hernandez (203) 392-6133
What is Women's Studies (WMS) as a program of study?
Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program of study, consisting of courses taught in various departments throughout SCSU. A course identified as Women's Studies focuses on the study of gender roles, the social construction of gender, women's issues, achievements and/or women's place in societies both past and present.
Women's Studies, in all of its diversity, has as its goal a world free not only of sexism, but also of racism, class bias, ageism, and heterosexual bias - in other words, a world free of all the ideologies and institutions that have consciously or unconsciously oppressed and exploited some for the advantage of others.
What would I study in a WMS course?
Women's lives and experiences throughout the world including celebrating women's talents and triumphs as well as exploring women's histories, oppressions, struggles, and everyday experiences.
You will also study the feminist concept of gender as a social construct and how as a result of the gendering process, men and women may be privileged, ignored, demeaned, denied, and/or misrepresented.
No two WMS studies courses are exactly the same; however, all the courses share at least one of the two general objectives above.
Why are Women's Studies courses listed with other departmental designation?
Because Women's Studies is interdisciplinary, you have the opportunity to explore gender and women's issues from a variety of perspectives and content areas. When you reference the WMS section of your course schedule, you will see that the courses are cross-listed with other departments, meaning professors from various departments throughout the university offer WMS courses. These departments include:
- Anthropology
- Art
- Communication
- English
- Health
- History
- Management
- Media Studies
- Philosophy
- Political Science
- Psychology
- Public Health
- Sociology
- Special Education
How do WMS courses count in my own program of study?
You may find that some WMS courses can count toward electives in your major, or they may serve as university electives. You can also declare a WMS minor!
What exactly is a Women's Studies minor?
A Women's Studies minor at Southern Connecticut State University consists of 18 credits of WMS-designated courses plus two required Women's Studies courses.
What can a Women's Studies minor do for me?
In general, a WMS minor will provide you with:
- A solid understanding of women's experiences
- Insight of gender issues that can enhance both personal and professional relationships
- Awareness of social and cultural issues
- Universal and inclusive knowledge of the world
- Critical thinking skills
How would a Women's Studies minor help me with future career goals?
As with any minor, what the Women's Studies Program can do for you depends largely on how you use it! Because the Women's Studies Program is interdisciplinary, it provides you with a wide range of course content, contributing significantly to your credibility and knowledge base. The specific aim of the Women's Studies Program is to better prepare students for careers in academe, law, government, journalism, social work, the arts, librarianship, education, business, or other areas where we deal directly or indirectly with women's concerns or needs or where we engage in other occupations concerned with gender issues.
What Can I Do with a Women's Studies Major?
How do I officially declare a Woman's Studies minor?
To have an official minor in Women's Studies, it is important to complete a "Declaration of Minor" form. You may download this form off the website or obtain it from the WMS office. Return the completed form to the WMS office and be sure to contact Dr. Tricia Lin to discuss your courses. Before graduation, it will be your responsibility to declare officially your minor with the university. You may also visit the WMS office and complete the form there. When you complete the form, we can assist you with advising matters and process university recognition of your minor.
Do men take WMS courses?
Absolutely! Men in SCSU's Women's Studies courses consistently report that the WMS Program enlightens them on matters deeply affecting their own lives, their personal relationships, their social networks, and the world at large. Men take WMS courses to learn more about gender issues that affect both their personal and professional well-being and to understand the social construction of gender
Who is available to answer my questions and advise me on what courses to take in
the minor?

His passion for music led him to join the board of the Queen Symphony Orchestra in 1993 and he eventually became president in 2001.
The orchestra was founded in 1953 by David Katz, the father of Queens Borough President Melinda Katz.
"He wanted people to know that you didn't have to cross a bridge for good culture and music," Chain said.
Constantine Kitsopoulos became music director in September 2006, and he is only the third music director in the 59-year history of the Queens Symphony Orchestra. Currently, in its 60th season, Queens Symphony Orchestra is the borough's only professional orchestra and the oldest and largest professional arts organization in Queens.
Chain, who was a member of the Queens Council of the Arts, said music is an important part of the culture in a community. At first he didn't know anyone in the orchestra, but he quickly became immersed in the organization.
"It was a logical transition for me to get involved in the symphony," Chains aid. "I thought it served a great purpose."
The orchestra is comprised of freelance musicians, many of which perform on Broadway throughout the year. Getting to meet so many talented people from Queens has been amazing, Chain said. Learning about the history of music, how the orchestra functions and how shows are produced has also been fascinating.
They hold four to five shows in the winter at Queens College and also have a huge collaboration with St. John's University once a year. Additionally, the organization has a strong focus on family programing and hold many family events throughout the year. Chain said he is happy to serve a non-musical role on the board.
"You wouldn't want to hear me perform or sing," he said.

Microsoft Sues DHL Over Trainload Of Dropped Xboxes
from the big-or-small,-they'll-break-them-all deptOver the years, I've certainly had my fair share of bad experiences with both UPS and FedEx, but for me, personally, no delivery company has been worse on a regular basis than DHL. Almost every time I've had to deal with the company the experience has been somewhere between bad and ridiculous -- and I've heard similar stories from friends as well, from undelivered packages, to crushed packages -- even to a story of a phone shipped via DHL that arrived with the box torn open and the phone missing. It appears that we individuals aren't alone in our annoyances with DHL. Microsoft is now suing the company for how it dealt with a shipment of Xboxes that were on a train that derailed. Consider this a scaled up version of the old "crushed box" delivery that you or I might be used to. Apparently, the train had six containers full of Xboxes that were damaged -- with DHL refusing to pay for the damages or missing Xboxes that didn't make the rest of the journey.

sunny day in low 80's
"Younz" have a great day, I will.
I removed a swarm from a soffet in the mount airy section of Philadephia on 5/20/07. They had drawn out about 6 frames of wax and had newly capped brood. I'm assuming they were there for about 10 or 12 days.
I just caught another massive swarm today, 5/22/07. The owner said it was on the side of his machine shop. By the time I got there it was in the wall, and boy was there alot of them. Sucked the girls out with my Bee Vac. I had another call today, but by the time the first swarm was secured, the second swarm was gone.
Well my massive swarm from yesterday decided to go into my neighbors cedar tree. They were about 40 feet up, so I climbed up there and cut down the branch only to have them cluster higher. Looks like this one is going to be a feral hive. I even placed a frame of open brood in the deep after I hived them and they still took off.
I went and got another swarm today, 5/23/07. I am gonna keep this swarm enclosed in a well ventilated nuc for a few days.
Collected a swarm today May 24, in a bush eye level (The PERFECT SWARM), nice size and they liked the box I gave them. Moved them this evening. 17543
I picked up a swarm in Emmaus, PA 18049 on 5/22/07.
I picked up another swarm in Bethlehem, PA 18015 on 5/26/07.
May 29, 2007 around 2pm about 2-3 miles away from my house
Gillett, PA 16925
temps today were in the high 70's
Today I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my windshield was pelleted with something. I'm like WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT! Within seconds I realize that it was a swarm of honeybees!!! I was able to see where they were going but wasnt sure if they would be there later or not (I couldnt go after them right then). Hours later I went and found them right where I last spotted them. I talked to the lady of the closest house and she said that they actually swarmed yesterday just yards away from the original hive in her house. So I guess 1st (known) area swarm was on 5/28/07. I cut the branches and shook them off in a nuc which had drawn out comb. I took my daughter to take pics but she's not too fond of bees - when she was younger she was attacked by yellow jackets.
I went back around 8:30pm to bring them home but must be the 5 frame deep nuc is too small for them all!! They are still hanging all over the front and sides. They must feel "at home" because they are acting aggressive now - got me in the knee. Tomorrow I'll have to take bigger box along with my suit - bad thing is that I have to climb an embankment to get them out.
This is my very first swarm that i've seen airborne!! I have a pic of me when I was around 8 or 9 yrs old standing next to a swarm that had landed on a tree limb. And now 27-28 yrs later I have another pic of me beside a swarm.
I guess I'll double post this in the photogallery with pics

I caught another very large swarm which was about 5 to 6 pounds in Warminster, PA 18974 on 5/29/07.
I got two swarms on 6-6 and a good size swarm yesterday. I heard the queen pipng in the hive the night before so I was watching out for the swarm issuance!

6/6/2008: Hive swarmed, landed in small tree. I'm short on equipment, so I gave swarm to a nearby beekeeper.
6/9/2008: Same hive swarmed again! This one went to the top of a tall arborvitae, then on to places unknown.

Corey Crawford stopped 30 shots and the Chicago Blackhawks got goals from Bryan Bickell and Marian Hossa for a 2-0 win over St. Louis on Sunday, ending Blues goalie Brian Elliott's shutout streak at three games.
The Blackhawks lead the NHL with 68 points, and have won five in a row. They're 3-1 against the Blues, all with Crawford in net.
The Blues rarely tested Crawford until the third period and lost their second straight in front of a standing room crowd of 19,385 that had a healthy contingent of Blackhawks fans. St. Louis has seven games remaining, all but one at home.
Bickell tapped in his own rebound on a rush early in the second period to end Elliott's streak at 214 minutes. Hossa's short-handed goal off a faceoff win by Jonathan Toews was the crusher early in the third, coming 17 seconds after Duncan Keith was whistled for cross-checking David Backes in front of the Chicago net.

[1]Webapps In Name Only Thomas Ptacek, Matasano Security
Where modern network architecture meets legacy application design, we get "The Port 80 Problem": vendors wrapping every conceivable network protocol in a series of POSTs and calling them "safe". These "Webapps In Name Only" are a nightmare for application security specialists.
In this talk, we'll discuss, with case studies, how tools from protocol reverse engineering can be brought to bear on web application security, covering the following areas:
- Locating and Decompiling Java and .NET Code - Structure and Interpretation of Binary Protocols in HTTP - Protocol Debugging Tools - Web App Crypto Tricks
[2]Token-less strong authentication for web applications: A Security Review Cory Scott, ABN AMRO
A short presentation on the threat models and attack vectors for token-less schemes used to reduce the risk of password-only authentication, but yet do not implement "true" two-factor technologies for logistical costs or user acceptance reasons. We'll go over how device fingerprinting and IP geo-location work and discuss the pros and cons of the solutions.

When one of the most innovative cities in America takes its first crack at mass transit you can bet it won't be buses, trains or streetcars.
No, Round Rock, Texas, elevation 709 feet, is thinking about a gondola system, like those crawling up and down the ski slopes of the world.
While the average mope on a Round Rock street might ask, 'Are you really serious?' the mayor of the city, Alan McGraw, is quick with a reply. "Why not?"
"The problem with government in general is the thinking is not very innovative," McGraw told Texas Watchdog. "I am fascinated at this being a viable transportation alternative."
In keeping with the kind of thinking Forbes Magazine recognized when it named Round Rock the second most innovative city in America in 2010, McGraw said he got the idea a couple of years ago.
Every time McGraw turned around the city was faced with a right-of-way issue that, invariably, cost money and time. Wouldn't it be great, he thought, if you could plan over the top of everything already here?
The creative nucleus at Frog Design in downtown Austin were thinking about it, too. They put together a proposal for Austin. They couldn't get an audience in spite of ongoing transit troubles, in particular with the city's little loved commuter train to and from Leander.
Round Rock has no corresponding troubles because it has no bus system, no train, no entrenched transit union. But with a population of about 105,000, the city is one of the fastest growing in Texas.
And so McGraw welcomed Frog Design to City Hall last week for a multimedia presentation that had a lot of Austin and no Round Rock.
No matter.
The presentation was a little light on specifics. After realizing most commuters would not be wearing ski clothes and would be scudding along in the Texas heat, Frog's factoring in of climate control for gondolas quadrupled its low-end estimated cost from $3 million to $12 million a mile.
That figure could go as high as $24 million a mile, a figure that compares favorably to the $100 million Austin is estimating it will cost to complete a mile of urban rail. Which doesn't compare favorably to much of anything.
At a top speed of 15 mph, the gondola system can be ruled out as a regional transportation alternative, McGraw said. At fewer than a dozen people to a gondola, dangling one behind another in a loop, there remain the problems of traffic density and of maximizing pickup and dropoff opportunities.
Michael McDaniel, the principal designer of what he likes to call "The Wire," said Round Rock has a big advantage over Austin in that the city isn't saddled with the political baggage of existing mass transit.
"We think it would be pretty hilarious that Austin, the city that likes to keep things weird, wouldn't do this, but Round Rock, the place that keeps things normal, would," McDaniel said.
Neither is McDaniel worried that the residents of a suburb in a state known for its individual vehicle culture would be reluctant to park their pickup trucks somewhere on the cable circuit and grab a gondola.
The designers have even toyed with an elaborate design allowing for door-to-door service, a sort of ski in and ski out system, he says.
"It's really up to the city to decide what they want to do," McDaniel said. "Round Rock would be starting fresh, from the ground up."
McGraw's undimmed enthusiasm begged the question, could there be an ulterior motive for considering an untried transit method with technical hurdles that threaten to make it costlier and less efficient than a bus or a train?
There is the coolness factor of having the only gondola system of its kind in the country, McGraw said. But he promised that wouldn't color any cost/benefit analysis the city would need to do.
Although the Frog presentation never mentions it, could the gondola system open the door to the state's first indoor skiing park? McGraw freely admitted he likes to ski. One of the planning team at Frog Design came up with the gondola concept, in part, because he is a ski bum, McGraw says.
There are stranger places to plan such a complex. In 2009, Snow Sport Entertainment Ltd. was all set to build Texas Alps, a $70 million complex as part of a proposed $1.6 billion World Villages of Grapevine, right next to the Grapevine Mills Mall, when the world economy collapsed.
The investors, including former Texas Rangers hitting star Rafael Palmeiro, later filed for bankruptcy.
Could the Texas Alps arise from the gently rolling hills of Round Rock? Alec Sohmer, who headed the original Alps project, told Texas Watchdog his group had no plans for Texas, and a deal for a similar skiing complex in Georgia has stalled.
Sohmer wasn't aware that anyone else was moving ahead on a skiing village in Texas.
But are you sure, Watchdog asked McGraw. "No, not at all," he said, amused at the question.
At the end of the presentation, McGraw told Frog Design the city's line of communication would be open, nothing formal, nothing set for an upcoming agenda. McGraw, he said, is always ready to listen.
"It's open-ended. I like the idea of having another arrow," he said, mixing his skiing and archery metaphors, "in our quiver of transportation."

Wool Jackets
The best wool jackets, reviewed and curated by the Trailspace community. The latest review was added on February 14, 2018. Stores' prices and availability are updated daily.
Recent Wool Jacket Reviews
Filson Mackinaw Cruiser
Great wool jacket, very warm, very stylish, and damn near goes with everything. Love this jacket, can't believe I'm the first to review. Very warm by itself or with a base layer you can get into single digits. I bought a navy blue one and its almost like having a stylish peacoat or even a topcoat but more bombproof. Full review
Ibex Men's Nomad Full Zip Hoody
Love that cozy merino and great fit, but zipper really sucks. I love merino wool hoodies. I have an Ibex Nomad, a Smartwool Phd, a Minus33 Kodiak, and an Ibex Aire. My favorites are the Ibex Nomad and the Ibex Aire. I haven't come across an Icebeaker model that suits me at a decent price point (all my others are ebay or sale purchases). Each has its own particular use. For backpacking it has to be the Nomad. I particularly enjoy the non-itchy, warm, comfy feel of the brushed merino wool close… Full review
Ibex Men's Nomad Full Zip Hoody
A warm and low-profile insulating layer for active pursuits. It has the benefits of the warmth, versatility, and odor resistance of merino wool, for those looking for an all-natural mid-insulating layer that can deal with moisture. (It does not wick moisture as well as synthetics, though). The hood and other features are welcome in this jacket. Fit might be an issue for some. This runs narrow and can be at risk of shrinkage after laundering. You can thank Ibex for this 100% merino full-zip hoody. Full review
Woolrich Wool-Lined Mountain Parka
Great three-season outer layer. Warm, durable, water resistant. The Woolrich Mountain Parka has been a very important outer layer for me for four decades of hiking/backpacking here in northern New England where I have grown up. I have worn this parka on Mts. Washington and Katahdin during winter ascents of both. It has a water resistant outer shell of what Woolrich calls Ramar Cloth that in reality is pretty waterproof. A few weeks ago I tried out my third parka in 40 years during an all-day bushwhack… Full review
Smartwool Men's PhD SmartLoft Divide Hoody Sport
The SmartWool PhD SmartLoft Divide Hoody Sport has been within arm's reach of me all winter. It's one of the best insulating layers I have used for resort skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, and around town. I highly recommend this jacket for anyone looking for a well-rounded insulating layer that is different from the traditional down or synthetic options. I have had this jacket with me for every activity I participated in all winter. Whether it was backcountry skiing, resort skiing, snowshoeing,… Full review
Ibex Women's Wool Aire Sweater
The Ibex Wool-Aire Sweater is a lightweight jacket made of lofted wool encased in water resistant nylon fabric. I wear this jacket year round. I like it best as a camp jacket after a day on a bicycle tour, but I can also wear it while riding when the temps drop. Best of all, if it rains, because it is wool, it still keeps me nice and toasty warm even if it gets wet. The Ibex Wool-Aire Sweater is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Because the nylon shell is filled with lofted wool, it keeps me… Full review
L.L.Bean Maine Guide Zip-Front Jac-Shirt, Windstopper
I have used one of these jackets as my primary fall and winter outerwear in Wisconsin for two years. It is well made, warm, and resists wind or light rain. If there was as a storm flap under the zipper and an inside pocket, I would have rated this 5 stars. See above. I would highly recommend for an everyday knock-around jacket. Full review
Columbia Expedition Ridge Wool Jacket
This is the ticket if you need camo. It blends with most natural areas. It is very quiet when putting the sneek on mountain animals such as mountain goats or sheep. I use this coat when high or wooded areas are my area of operation for photographing mountain animals, or hunting at high altitudes were there is some vegetation. I also used this jacket while doing backcountry Law Enforcement operations. Get one, you won't be sorry. Full review
Woolrich Classic Hunt Coat
I have a vintage one from 60s or 70s. I got it from Ebay. The jacket is 40+ years old however it is still awesome looking and going strong. It's the perfect jacket for day to day casual city commuter. Heavy thick wool coat; it cannot get any better than this. Full review

"The U.S. claims that its armed forces are fighting terrorism and drug trafficking in that country (Afghanistan). But UN data says otherwise. Since the beginning of this year alone, around 400 civilians have died through the fault of the U.S. troops and the forces of official Kabul enlisted by them. That is significantly more than the deaths at the hands of the Taliban, to whom were attributed 227 victims."The latest UN report on Afghanistan shows an overall increase in civilian casualties by pro-government forces. However, attributing all the civilian deaths at the hands of pro-government forces to the U.S. military is wrong. U.S. forces are part of an international coalition of 39 nations.
"These [Freedom House] reports are politically motivated and are used as an additional element of pressure on the country … they made a bogeyman out of Russia and constantly throw in negative information."False'Freedom in the World 2019' is critical not only of Russia but also of the United States, Hungary and SerbiaRussian officials label reports by independent watchdog groups as politically motivated. But Freedom House's report finds a steady decline in freedom around the world over the last 13 years, and raises the alarm particularly about threats to democracy in the United States.
"Objectively, for the Americans contacts with ISIL are more interesting… – for spreading sabotage actions beyond the pales of Afghanistan. On the border with Turkmenistan there is a major offensive is being cooked by Islamic State and allied groups. That is where they may surface."The Afghan Special Forces confirmed they conducted the operation arresting Islamic State members and transferring them under the Afghan National Directorate of Security control. The U.S. was not involved.
"… the recent statement made by the Taliban about the targeted raid by the US special task force to capture a Taliban prison in the Afghan province of Badghis…All of the militants were moved by the special task force to an unknown destination…suggests that the US might have been trying to prevent a leak of information regarding what the ISIS members could reveal about their real sponsors."The Russian Foreign Ministry provided no evidence for any of its claims, which contradict well-established reality about the U.S. fight against the Islamic State and the Taliban.
"We drew attention to information about the growing number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan as a result of the actions of foreign troops. A recent example is the airstrike by international forces in Garmsir district, Helmand province, which killed 23 civilians and injured 3 others. According to preliminary data, eight women and 10 children were among the victims."With U.S. Air Force statistics showing the U.S. has dropped more bombs on Afghanistan than at any point since 2006, the civilian causalty count from airstrikes is growing. But it remains unclear if the total number of civilians killed and injured by actions of international forces is rising.
"Russia is ready to host the World Cup. The stadiums are open. The cops are polyglots. That is a quick recap of many years of work.We're not going to lose face in front of the planet. It's not for nothing we terrified [the planet] with a missile. In general, all is well. But there is only one "but": Our team, frankly, is sh-t."The International Federation of Football Association, the world soccer authority better known as FIFA, ranked Russia's national team #70 and labeled it a "worst mover."
Emirates Air #Moscow informs I won't make my Houston Flight as #US Officials instruct them to not let me board. Valid reason yet to be received. US has the Sovereign right of course. Sure it has nothing to do with my name, being part of #lka opposition or my travel from #Russia (winking emoji)FalseRajapaksa lists no qualifications as an election observer and he had no visa to enter the U.S.U.S. Border Control officials confirmed that Namal Rajapaksa had no valid visa to enter the United States. Rajapaksa's passport was reportedly impounded by his own government due to an ongoing criminal case for money laundering in Sri Lanka.
"We are alarmed as unfortunately, the US and NATO military in Afghanistan makes (sic) every effort to silence and deny [the IS group's presence in Afghanistan]."The U.S., NATO, and Afghan forces have not only acknowledged IS operations in Afghanistan, but have actively gone after the group.
"#RusMoD shows irrefutable evidence that US are actually covering ISIS combat units to recover their combat capabilities, redeploy, and use them to promote the American interests in the Middle East.The original social media post contained an image from the video game AC-130 Gunship Simulator. Other photos came from airstrikes in Iraq from last year.
"The U.S. has a direct interest in destabilizing the situation in Central Asia, including by using IS… The Americans believe that this will allow them to unravel the situation in Russia."The U.S. is fighting against Islamic State, not using it. Washington is also cooperating with Central Asian states to enhance security for the region -- including Russia -- despite Moscow's objection to such security cooperation and its destabilizing military actions along its own periphery.
"Today, unfortunately, it can be noted that the United States is trying to establish a loyal regime [in Afghanistan] under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Our country takes the position that the United States (should) withdraw its troops from Afghanistan; the legitimately elected government of Afghanistan takes principally the same position. U.S. success in the fight against terrorism, especially in Afghanistan, is not particularly discernible."U.S. and Afghan forces have, in fact, made major counterterrorism gains, and Afghanistan's government supports fully the U.S. military presence and the newly unveiled U.S. strategy.
"U.S. actions in Afghanistan are destabilizing, harmful to neighboring countries but above all to Afghanistan itself… ISIS was created by the United States to solve geopolitical problems in the Middle East, [but] now they see it's not working there and are preparing to move ISIS to Central Asia."The U.S. is actually fighting Islamic State and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan, contributing to the region's security, as well as its economic and democratic development.

Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri Review Now Up
Hmm...how to describe GATE. Basically, it's how many of us wish we could enter a fantasy world...armed to the teeth with modern weapons so we can just shoot the son of a bitch and hear the lamentations of their women. There's more to it than that, and despite some pretty glaring flaws, I found it to be pretty entertaining. Still, for the full analysis, check out the review, if you want to know what I'm really talking about. Also, a goth loli demigoddess who gets off on the pain, suffering, and death of her enemies! Enjoy!
Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (TV, Manga, 2015-2016)
In modern Japan, a gate suddenly appears in down town Ginza, and suddenly bursting forth from it...invaders! But not, your typical super powered alien invaders with science so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic, running roughshod over everyone and everything, racking up a fucking body count so high that your average mujahid gets cock envy, until finally some plucky kid in a biotechnic robot suit does what professional soldiers cannot, and beats them back, oh no. No, instead, the doom that befalls us this time are...Romans. Yup, Romans. Needless to say, after the initial shock and awe wears off, with a few hundred people dead, the swat teams and SDF, with modern weapons and modern military tactics turn them back relatively easily. Still, that leaves the question of just what the fuck the gate is, why it appeared, the fuck were the people on the other side thinking attacking without intel or a plan, and so on and so forth. Aside from the international repercussions of a dimensional incursion, it's up to what amounts to Japan's armed forces, the SDF, to head to the other side and deal with whatever is there.
Transformers: Devastation Review Up
Hmm...Transformers: Devastation. We've always wanted a G1 sytle game on a current platform. Correction: A GOOD G1 style game. I suppose it was too much to hope for that High Moon would be tapped for it, as this almost gets into the area of good, but with some major flaws, it falls short of the G1 game we always wanted. Why not check it out in the review for the more indepth report?
Transformers: Devastation (All Platforms, 2015)
Cybertronian planet cyberforming machines have erupted under the city, killing thousands, and causing untold destruction. In its wake fly in a plague of Insecticons, but not the ones who have pledged their loyalty to Megatron. A team of Autobots; Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Sideswipe, Grimlock, and Optimus Prime rush towards the scene, working to evacuate what remains of the humans and stop whatever it is the Decepticons are doing...only to find Megatron and his army as confused as they are. Though whatever it is, Megatron wants it, and if he wants it, it's a damn site sure that those who fight for freedom of all sentient species had do their utmost to make sure he doesn't get it. Can either side survive...the Devastation?
Shimoseka Anime Review Up
A very Merry Christmas to you all! For a bit of a present, here's a review of the anime Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist. While entertaining, it really needed some serious work. Check out more of what I thought of it in the review proper. As always, have fun and enjoy!
Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (TV, 2015)
Matsuki Miyu, rest well. We'll see you when we get there.
So, basically 1984 the crank-anime where Goldstein is a Japanese highschool girl with big tits who has sex joke tourette syndrome, runs around wearing a set of panties on her head, and a sheet over her body for a disguise. Oh, what Japan hath wrought this time. Let's see where this one takes us.

Chocolate Ribbon Bars
No one will be able to eat just one of Gail Wiese's yummy Chocolate Ribbon Bars, full of butterscotch, peanut butter and chocolate flavor. Unlike similar crispy cereal treats, these aren't sticky! "Over the years I've accumulated quite a few recipes from my co-workers, and this one is easy to prepare," writes Gail from her home in Athens, Wisconsin.
Total TimePrep: 20 min. + chilling
Makes2 dozen
- 1 package (10 to 11 ounces) butterscotch chips

- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Gradually stir in cereal until well coated. Press half of the mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan; set remaining mixture aside.
- In another large microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Stir in water until blended. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Spread over cereal layer. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes or until chocolate layer is set. Spread remaining cereal mixture over the top. Chill before cutting.

These are very rich , but very good. I also had trouble make the crispies stick together, but they were delicious!
Aug 24, 2014
Been making these for a number of years now--always a hit when I bring them to work. Hubby loves them too....when he can get his hands on them.
Mar 16, 2010
Everyone loved these! the only problem I had was that the crispies didn't seem to want to stick to the chocolate. May have to press them together harder or move faster so that the chocolate doesn't have time to firm up.

These are good! My ten-year old and her friends gobbled them up.

Surfing Magazine November 2012 Issue Preview
Surf Ride Short Link
Surfri.de links are tiny urls that can be shared with Facebook, Twitter, emails, blogs, etc. Copy and paste them wherever you like!
"Julian and Jordy duel in Reunion While Craig Anderson logs serious tube time in "Abalone Romance"" Surfing Magazine
Remember the "Kony 2012" campaign? That San Diego filmmaker who made the viral video in an attempt to convince the US government to "save the day" and capture Joseph Kony, a Ugandan warlord? And remember the Sudanese genocide? Remember blood diamonds? Remember AIDS?
Aside from the occasional safari gone right, it seems that all the news that comes out of the 54 countries that constitute Africa is about war, famine, poverty and corruption. It is painted as "The Dark Continent." It is, as far as we know, the scariest place on earth.
I almost moved there a few years ago. I was at the tail end of a six-month trip through the continent, staying on South Africa's east coast and feeling quite at home. I'd found friends, a girl, a million waves and a handful of lions. Africa was paradise. But I was out of money, so I flew home with intentions to work, save and return indefinitely. Then I met a better girl and started work at this fine publication.
But to this day, I remember Africa fondly. I remember empty, white-sand beachbreaks. Penguins swimming through Cape Town lineups. Five-second tubes at Jeffrey's that carry you for 75 yards, offshores howling. And the non-surf stuff that makes Africa, Africa. Water buckets carried on heads, hips swaying. The waiting for buses; an unhurried pace of life. Elephants. Thatched roofs, beads and baobab trees.
Despite all the shit that you hear in the media — a lot of which, sadly, is true — Africa is the best place in the world to be a surfer. Looking only at South Africa, you've got two coasts that face two different oceans that constantly usher swell toward the Rainbow Nation. Outside of the cities, there are almost no crowds. I asked Saffa Damien Fahrenfort what he thought to be South Africa's surfing population. "I'd be surprised if there were 10,000," he said. Back here in California there's about a million, and fewer waves to support 'em. And if Jeffrey's Bay, Cave Rock and Elands aren't enough to make you believers, rewatch the Africa section in Dane Reynolds' First Chapter. South Coast perfection.
And that's just one nation on a continent that has more than 20 countries that cop swell ╤ only a third of which have been decently explored. What other gems are hidden along the coasts of Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Mauritania and Nigeria? Few trickle into our collective consciousness, but Craig Anderson enjoyed one during the month he spent in Africa this summer (see "Abalone Romance," pg. 66). A summer spent exploring. Visiting family. Going right at J-Bay and left in a more uncharted region of the continent. Going left forever. Compiling minutes of barrel time each session. Dancing on a desert mirage. I've stared at these waves enough this month that, even though I've never been there, they've begun to seep into my African flashbacks.
Or perhaps, with any luck, African flashforwards. –Taylor Paul
