Sundance Selects has picked up the documentary "The Punk Singer" for North American distribution, the company said Monday. Directed by Sini Anderson, the film looks at the life and legacy of musician and activist Kathleen Hanna, best known for her groundbreaking work as part of the band Bikini Kill and a founder of the 1990s feminist "riot grrrl" movement.
Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, said in a statement: " 'The Punk Singer' is one of those great documentaries that makes you realize how much a single person can accomplish in a short span of time.... Kathleen Hanna is a complex, fascinating human being who is beautifully captured in Sini Anderson's 'The Punk Singer.'"
The film explores the health issues that Hanna, now 43, has battled over the last few years because of late-stage Lyme disease and how that has kept her from the spotlight. In addition, though she and her husband, Beastie Boys member Adam Horovitz, have often kept their relationship out of the spotlight, he is seen throughout the film and is the only man interviewed on camera.
Other interview subjects in the film include Hanna's former bandmates from both Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, rock critic Ann Powers and musicians Kim Gordon, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Joan Jett.
Hanna recently performed for only the second time with the band the Julie Ruin as part of the Northside Festival in New York City. So while "The Punk Singer" may be a look at her past, she isn't ready to be completely consigned to history just yet.
"I really feel this frees me from any kind of burden," Hanna said at SXSW alongside Anderson and producer Tamra Davis. "Being sick also made me feel like, I'm No. 1. I can't constantly be trying to write the unwritten song, the song that the 15-year-old girl needs. I need to write the song that I need. I feel like having the movie frees me to make whatever I want."
The Julie Ruin recently released a track, "Oh Come On," from its album "Run Fast," set for release in September.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series marches on to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 31st race of the 2011 season, the Bank of America 500. NASCAR expert Brian Brown took a look at past performances, season trends, and spoke with NASCAR contacts to predict how the field should finish on Saturday night.
When: Saturday, October 15, 2011; 7:46 p.m./et.
Weather: Sunny with a high around 72; wind out of the WNW at 8 mph There is a Zero percent chance of precipitation.
The Track: Charlotte Motor Speedway
CMS is a 1.5 mile quad-oval. It has 24 degree banking in the turns and five degree banking on the straight-aways.
Key to Race: THE TRACK THAT JOHNSON OWNS
Not only is Lowe's on the front of Jimmie Johnson's car, but it is also the former name of the track that he dominates. Johnson has finished in the top two in 11 of the last 21 races (including All-Star Challenges) at the track. It is tough to pick against J.J. this weekend.
Qualifying Procedures:
48 cars will attempt to qualify for 43 spots. Cars not in the top 35 in the 2011 owner point standings will have to qualify based on speed. Starting positions 1-43 will be determined by qualifying on Thursday, October 13 at 7:10 pm/et.
Fantasy Cheat Sheet:
Top 5
No. 48 Jimmie Johnson: Johnson has dominated Charlotte Motor Speedway in his career. He is a MUST use this week.
No. 18 Kyle Busch: Rowdy has been mostly great at CMS the past two years. He will be fast again this weekend.
No. 99 Carl Edwards: Edwards won the All Star race at CMS earlier this year and has finished in the top 16 in all but two of his career starts at CMS. We like his chances on Saturday.
No. 20 Joey Logano: Logano has been awesome at CMS during his career. He will crack the top 10 again on Saturday.
No. 17 Matt Kenseth: Kenseth had one of the top cars at CMS the past four full-length races. He is a good pick.
6 to 10
No. 29 Kevin Harvick: Harvick won the 600 at Charlotte this year, but he led just two laps in the race. He should be another top car this weekend.
No. 24 Jeff Gordon: Gordon won the October race at CMS in 2007 for his fifth career win at the track. His past success at the track makes him a great option.
No. 11 Denny Hamlin: Hamlin usually runs fast in Charlotte. If he can avoid an accident he is a lock to crack the top 10.
No. 22 Kurt Busch: Busch was awesome at CMS the past two spring races. He is a candidate for another top five finish.
No. 16 Greg Biffle: Biffle finished fifth last October and during this year's All Star race at CMS. He should be back with another top 10 finish this visit.
11 to 20
No. 1 Jamie McMurray: McMurray was one of the fastest cars on the track at Charlotte the past three races. He is worth using in all leagues.
No. 00 David Reutimann: Reutimann has driven excellent in four of the past five full-length races at CMS. His win in 2008 was a complete fluke, but he should be strong enough for another top 15 finish this weekend.
No. 4 Kasey Kahne: Kahne won the All Star Challenge and the Coca-Cola 600 at CMS in 2008. He will be fast again.
No. 5 Mark Martin: Martin has 18 top five finishes during his career at CMS. He crashed during the All Star race and the 600 this season, but is still worth sneaking onto your roster.
No. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Junior has finished in the top 11 in eight of his last 14 starts at CMS. He should drive his car into the top 20 without much of an issue.
No. 14 Tony Stewart: CMS isn't one of Stewart's favorite tracks. He has averaged just a 17th place finish at the track during his career.
No. 2 Brad Keselowski: Keselowski has cracked the top 20 in two of his four trips to CMS. He is a decent option this weekend.
No. 6 David Ragan: Ragan impressed during this year's All Star race and then the 600. He is a fine sleeper pick.
No. 31 Jeff Burton: Burton has won three races at CMS so he knows his way around the oval. He should finish inside the top 20.
No. 33 Clint Bowyer: Bowyer has brought just three great cars to CMS in 10 career starts. He is more of a top 15 driver this weekend than a top 10 driver.
21 to 30
No. 39 Ryan Newman: Newman has nine poles in 20 career starts at CMS. He should qualify strong and a top 20 finish is expected.
No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya: Montoya hasn't had a ton of success at Charlotte during his career. He isn't a great choice this weekend.
No. 43 A.J. Allmendinger: A.J. has finished in the top 20 in four of his nine career starts at CMS. He will miss the top 20 again this weekend.
No. 56 Martin Truex Jr.: Truex has two top 10 finishes in 12 career starts at CMS. He will be doing well to crack the top 20 on Saturday.
No. 27 Paul Menard: Menard has had just one strong finish at Charlotte during his career. He normally has some sleeper potential, but there are better choices this weekend.
No. 9 Marcos Ambrose: Ambrose is just a fair-to-middlin' pick this weekend. He should finish right around his 25th place career average at Charlotte.
No. 83 Brian Vickers: Vickers has struggled this season, but Charlotte is one of his better tracks. He is a buy-low option right now.
No. 78 Regan Smith: Smith has averaged a 19th place finish at CMS. Furniture Row has rarely looked better.
No. 47 Bobby Labonte: Labonte has been terrific at CMS during his career. If you are ever going to have the No. 47 car on your team this is the weekend.
No. 7 Robby Gordon: Gordon somehow stumbled and bumbled into a third place finish at CMS in the 2008 May race. He will finish about 25 spots worse this visit to CMS.

Two links to Marco Arment within a few days? Well, if you make good points: "Many Windows developers were upset that iOS development had to be done on a Mac, but it didn't hurt Apple: the most important developers for iOS apps were already using Macs. But the success of Windows 8 and Windows Phone in the consumer space requires many of those consumer-product developers, now entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, to care so much about Windows development that they want to use Windows to develop for it. How likely is that?" As usual a bit too Apple-centric (he implies - as explicit as possible while still being implicit - that only iOS developers can create great applications), but his point still stands. Judging by the abysmal quality of Microsoft's own Metro applications (Mail, Video, Music, People, IE10, etc.), even Microsoft doesn't know how to create great Metro applications.

GARDNER - The superintendent and two other administrators of a northeast Kansas school district have been fired but school board members are not publicly discussing the reasons.
The Kansas City Star reported the Gardner-Edgerton board of education voted 4-3 on Thursday to fire Superintendent Bill Gilhaus, Lana Gerber, executive director of human resources and administrative services, and Christy Ziegler, executive director of educational services.
The vote came after the board held a closed session at a specially called meeting.
Scott Boden, husband of board member Tresa Boden, told the Star there was no public explanation for the firings.

Maine Catholic Diocese holds annual "Red Mass"
October 4, 2013
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine's Catholic Diocese is holding its annual "Red Mass" for lawyers and judges.
This year's Red Mass takes place Friday at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland.
The Red Mass is a tradition started centuries ago in Europe to celebrate the official opening of the judicial year. Church officials are inviting judges, lawyers, government officials and people of all faiths to the ceremony.
The name of the Mass comes from the red vestments worn by the Mass celebrants. The vestments are reminiscent of the traditional scarlet robes worn by royal judges centuries ago.

Just got back from a trip to Belize and was surprised by the GoPro Hero 3 black. It's no FX7, but for $400, this things shoots decent video.
Here is something I quickly threw together. Shot mostly at 2.7k resolution, protune on, camraw WB setting. Cheap drop in gel filter. Very limited correction in editing. Mainly just contrast and brightness adjustments. A few clips shot with 1080k protune off and auto WB. The small size makes shooting steady a challenge. Rendered to 720 for online.

Separated Material
Helen Keller's personal book collection comprising 283 titles is located in the archival storage facility.
Other major repositories housing Helen Keller materials are the Perkins School for the Blind and the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf.
Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880, the daughter of Captain Arthur H. Keller and Kate Adams Keller. Captain Keller was the owner of a struggling newspaper, the North Alabamian. Helen had two younger siblings, Mildred and Phillips Brooks Keller and two half brothers, James and Simpson, from her father's prior marriage.
In February 1882, at the age of nineteen months, before she had learned to speak, Helen Keller became blind and deaf as a result of a sudden illness, possibly scarlet fever or typhoid. Communication with the child became extremely difficult and she became uncontrollable. In 1886, the Keller family visited Alexander Graham Bell, who put them in touch with Michael Anagnos, the director of the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, Massachusetts. Anagnos assigned Anne Sullivan, a recent Perkins' graduate and herself visually impaired, as a teacher for Helen.
Sullivan was just fourteen years Helen Keller's senior when she traveled to Tuscumbia, Alabama in March 1887 to teach the six-year-old child. Influenced by Anna Montessori, Anne Sullivan believed in fostering the abilities and needs of the individual child rather than instructing a child by rote in a traditional classroom environment. Sullivan rapidly helped Helen understand that the letters she continually signed into her hands created words with meanings. Helen's education began in 1888 and lasted until 1904. During these sixteen years she attended the Perkins School for the Blind, the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York City, the Cambridge School for Young Ladies in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and finally Radcliffe College in Massachusetts, where she graduated cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree. Keller was an excellent student. Her studies included politics, literature, and philosophy as well as French, German, Latin, and Greek.
Helen Keller published her first book in 1903, while a student at Radcliffe College. The Story of My Life was an enormous success and over the subsequent six decades it was translated into more than fifty languages. Following Keller's graduation in 1904, she and Anne moved into a house in Wrentham, Massachusetts, where they sought to support themselves through Keller's writing. They were joined there by Anne's future husband, John Albert Macy, who became Keller's editor. Between 1903 and 1955, Keller wrote fourteen books and hundreds of magazine articles and speeches. However, income from her written work was not enough to sustain her financially and periodically, from 1916 until 1922, Anne Sullivan Macy and Helen Keller toured the nation giving lectures and performing on the vaudeville circuit. The vaudeville act was in the form of questions posed by Anne to Helen on politics, blindness, and social issues.
By 1909 Keller had become a socialist and corresponded with figures such as Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, and Arturo Giovannitti. She supported the popular demand for workers' rights as well as rights for women. In 1914 she opposed U.S. entry into the First World War. Keller had a wide social circle that included artists, writers, actors, scientists, social reformers, and leading political figures. Close, long-term friends included her childhood mentors Alexander Graham Bell and Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), as well as the artist Jo Davidson, actress Katharine Cornell, and Takeo Iwahashi, a leader of advocacy for the blind in Japan, who was himself blind.
It was as an advocate for the blind and deaf-blind that Keller found her preeminent vocation in life. Keller's advocacy work spanned six decades, from 1899 when she and Anne Sullivan Macy considered creating a school for deaf, mute, and blind children, to 1959 when she drafted a letter to Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, supporting a bill to create an International Center for Medical Health Research.
The bulk of those sixty years were spent as an advocate for the American Foundation for the Blind. She joined AFB in 1924. AFB was created as a private organization in 1921, originally deriving much of its support from private individuals. Fundraising on behalf of the blind began to shift in the early twentieth century, away from private, philanthropic care of the blind to state and ultimately federal funding. Keller, whose own education was paid for by Boston philanthropists, assisted AFB in soliciting state and federal authorities for funding as well as continuing to elicit support from private donors.
Throughout her career Keller spoke and wrote on blindness and deafness issues. She vociferously promoted the changing image of the blind as citizens with abilities rather than disabilities. She sought to ameliorate conditions for the blind through legislation and was a proponent of medical research and rehabilitation for blind veterans domestically as well as for the indigent blind abroad. Within the United States, her support of a government bill frequently brought ratification in the state or federal legislature, including the appropriation of funds for the Talking Book Program during the Roosevelt Administration in 1935.
Keller continued to fight for the blind and deaf-blind when she was well into her sixties and seventies, by which time she had campaigned for six decades and had traveled to thirty-nine countries, demanding government appropriations for blindness. Her trips abroad during the 1940s and 1950s were sponsored by the American Foundation for Overseas Blind and were endorsed by the United States Information Agency. Helen Keller died in 1968. Her legacy can be seen in the large number of services for blind children, rehabilitation centers, and girl and boy scout troops that were established in her name throughout the world. The complexities of her achievements as a woman who was both hugely reliant on others for information, but herself engaged in advocacy for the blind as well as cultural and political debate, continues to make her a relevant and fascinating figure in American history.

Scope and Content Note
The Helen Keller Archives span the years 1878 - 1998, with the bulk of the material dating from 1885 - 1980. The collection is comprised of legal contracts; handwritten, typed, and braille correspondence; memoranda; speeches; reports; flyers; manuscripts; press clippings; scrapbooks; photographs, negatives, and photo albums; artifacts; audio recordings; film; and microfiche. One hundred forty-eight cubic feet of material are contained in 289 legal size manuscript boxes, 3 flat file drawers, 70 letter-size drop front boxes, 21 boxes containing photograph albums, and 4 boxes of negatives. Most of the materials are in good physical condition. Documents deemed especially important have been placed in Mylar. Press clippings and scrapbooks have been photocopied onto acid-free paper.
The Helen Keller Archives are a rich source of information on the history of visual impairment, women's history, literary history, and American culture in the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. Keller's long life (1880 - 1968) enables us to see sweeping changes in American society through the lens of physical disability and the changing status of women in society.
The bulk of the correspondence and documents originating from Helen Keller are typed. Keller was an excellent typist and typed her own letters. There is a paucity of documents written by her in braille. However, the collection contains twelve items handwritten by her, including a list of spelling words that she wrote when she was seven years old in 1887. The vast majority of the correspondence to her is either typed or handwritten and some was transcribed into braille. Her companions Anne Sullivan Macy and Polly Thomson manually signed the contents of documents to her.
There are eleven series in the collection, as well as seven subseries in Series 1. Three of the eleven series remain unprocessed. Series are as follows:
Series 1: General Correspondence
The seven subseries contained within Series 1 were created by grouping similar subject files together. The subseries are as follows:
Series 1: General Correspondence, Subseries 1: Legal and administrative
Correspondence, legal agreements, and financial documents related to the financial arrangements and legal and personal administration of Keller's life are contained in this subseries.

Arrangement of the Helen Keller Archives
The Helen Keller Archives are an amalgam of materials accessioned on four separate occasions by Marguerite L. Levine, the archivist at the American Foundation for the Blind from 1960 to 1985. The accessions were as follows: (1) prior to 1960, four file drawers/cabinets of material were collected by AFB [no classification exists for this original batch of materials], (2) from 1960 to 1968, AFB continued to collect Helen Keller materials, (3) after 1968, braille materials were sent from her home at Arcan Ridge in Westport, Connecticut to AFB, (4) in 1971, materials were accessioned as a result of an outreach letter from AFB to friends and relatives of Keller.
Marguerite L. Levine organized the documents by subject matter, choosing to follow "the progress of life." As much as possible, these subject categories have been adhered to, with series and subseries designated to bring greater intellectual control to the collection.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Childsta from Really Nice This is my second Bebe sports top that I have purchased. I like the great style and color. The fabric is great and the fit is good. The only gripe that I have is that they are not very breast friendly. Meaning that they flatten everything in. I know that this is what sports bras are supposed to do but a pad would be great in order to give more of a curvy look to the outfit. I have to wear a sports bra underneath in order for me to look like I have breasts. This is the only reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Oh…if you could please give more room for us ladies that have a little more in the hip area, it would be great as the top constantly folds us because it does not compensate for my extra hip action. 34' 26' 38'.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bebebliss from Excellent fit, sleek, and very comfortable! A racerback tank that is lightweight, wicks away moisture fairly well, and is attractive. I like how this top stretches with ease and allows for good movement and retains shape. The darker shade of grey is a good color for not streaking and helps show off the tank's design nicely.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb men's tennis will be facing Tennessee Tech on Friday at home.
Matches will begin at 7 p.m. at Richland tennis facility.
"I feel good with where the guys are right now," Mario Hernandez, Lipscomb's men's tennis coach said. "The past two weeks have really been good for us as a team in the way we have gone about training to be tougher and be relentless on each point."
Already depleted due to injuries, the Bisons will be even shorter this week with the loss of David Salazar to an injury.
"We will be down one singles and doubles match already because of David's injury which means we have no room for error," Hernandez said. "But I think that has helped us to be more disciplined and focused."
The Bisons are 1-4 this season.
Hernandez is not discouraged by the setbacks.
"Time to go out and battle," Hernandez said.

January 2013
In this New Year's greeting for 1863, Brigadier General Rufus Saxton, the military governor of the Department of the South, encourages the African American population of the area under Union control in South Carolina to assemble to hear the Emancipation Proclamation read and "to indulge in such other manifestations of joy as may be called forth by the occasion." The celebration took place at the camp of the First Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, the first unit of former slaves raised for military service during the Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation read in Beaufort, South Carolina, on 1 January 1863, was not the Proclamation that President Lincoln signed that day—his 1 January Proclamation would not arrive in Beaufort until 12 January, but the preliminary Proclamation, dated 22 September 1862, that announced that, if the states in rebellion—the Confederacy—did not return to the Union by 1 January, slaves held in those areas in rebellion would be "forever free." The thousands of fugitive slaves assembled at Beaufort were part of the small percentage (tens of thousands) of four million slaves in the United States who actually were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation on the day it went into effect.
Rufus Saxton, the author of the New Year's greeting, was born in Greenfield, Massachusetts, in 1824. He attended the United States Military Academy, graduating in 1849, fought against the Seminoles in Florida, and surveyed railroad routes in the Rocky Mountains before the Civil War. Saxton was an unusual professional army officer for his day. He was an outspoken abolitionist—making him almost unique in the officer corps. He served as an instructor at West Point and in 1855 received an honorary degree from Amherst College. During the opening campaigns of the Civil War, Saxton quickly rose to the rank of brigadier general. He won the Medal of Honor for his successful defense of Harpers Ferry during a crisis early in 1862, although his true heroism may have been to remain calm while being bombarded with contradictory and unnecessary instructions from both President Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.
In May 1862, Saxton became military governor of the Department of the South—those portions of coastal South Carolina, Georgia and Florida under Union control—with headquarters in Beaufort, South Carolina, the site of the Port Royal Experiment. When Union forces seized control of Port Royal and the other Sea Islands of South Carolina in the fall of 1861, the white slaveholding population fled, leaving behind thousands of slaves. Reform-minded missionaries and abolitionists flocked to Port Royal and it became a proving ground for the education of freedmen and a "rehearsal" for postwar Reconstruction.
General Saxton chafed in his role as a military administrator and devoted much of his time and energy to the recruitment and training of former slaves as soldiers. He personally recruited Captain Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a minister and abolitionist from Massachusetts who was serving as a regular officer in the Union Army, to command the First South Carolina Volunteers. Locally recruited African American soldiers soon were reinforced by free men of color from the North, beginning with the Massachusetts Fifty-fourth Infantry Regiment under the command of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw.
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, commanding the First South Carolina Volunteers, was the host for the celebration at Beaufort on 1 January. General Saxton expected 5,000 slaves to attend the celebration that would announce their freedom. Higginson had ten oxen roasted for the occasion to be washed down by a "slight collation" of barrels of molasses mixed with water. In his Army Life in a Black Regiment, Higginson recalled that the attendees were not as jubilant as he expected. They were "nominally free" already by their own actions and knew that their "practical freedom" could only be maintained by Union victory. Nevertheless, he thought the occasion a "perfect success," and wrote movingly of how the ceremony ended with now-former slaves breaking into song—the Star Spangled Banner. There was even time for romance in the midst of the busy events of that day. General Saxton was observed wrapping his sash—a symbol of his rank—around the waist of Matilda Thompson, the "belle of Port Royal," who had come from Philadelphia to teach in a school for freedmen. Rufus and Matilda were married in Beaufort three months later.
A year later, in his New Year's Greeting for 1864, General Saxton addressed not slaves, but the Freedmen in his department. Looking back on the previous year, Saxton saw the Emancipation Proclamation as "the death warrant for human slavery," but it had not come without "toil, sorrow and blood; dark shadows have passed over many hearts, and many homes in our land are desolate." The celebration on 1 January 1864 was held at Camp Shaw, named for Robert Gould Shaw, whose brief career as commander of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry had ended in glory and tragedy in July 1863. Saxton urged those who assembled on 1 January 1864 to pay tribute to "those who have laid down their lives for your cause," but then to "make merry and be glad, for the day of your deliverance has come."
After the Civil War, General Saxton became an assistant commissioner for the Freedman's Bureau. He later returned to regular military service, finally retiring in 1888. Finding the western Massachusetts of his youth rather quiet after his busy military and public career, he made his home in Washington, D. C. where he died in 1908. His wife, Matilda, died in 1915 and is buried with him at Arlington National Cemetery.
On 1 January 2013, the Massachusetts Historical Society will open a new presidential exhibition, Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, featuring the pen Lincoln used to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. The exhibition includes paintings, engravings, broadsides, manuscripts, and artifacts that tell the story of how the Historical Society acquired this extraordinary artifact; how Boston celebrated Emancipation on 1 January 1863; and the larger context of the Proclamation. A photograph of the Emancipation pen, together with related artifacts from the Smithsonian Institute and the Library of Congress, appears in the December issue of Smithsonian Magazine.
The exhibition will open with special hours on the day of the anniversary, 1 January 2013, 12:00-4:00 PM, with gallery talks by MHS Librarian Peter Drummey and Curator of Art Anne Bentley at 2:00 PM. On the same day that the Forever Free exhibition opens, the Society will open a display of additional Lincoln materials from its collections, Abraham Lincoln in Manuscript and Artifact, in the Historical Society's Treasures Gallery. Two items featured in the accompanying exhibition will be Lincoln's famous 1855 letter to Joshua F. Speed, explaining to one of his closest friends his evolving views on slavery, and the Society's casts of the life mask and hands of Lincoln made by Leonard Volk in the spring of 1860.
After the special New Year's Day event, the exhibition will be open to the public, Monday-Saturday, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM, through 24 May 2013. For the dates and times of other gallery talks and events related to the exhibition, please check the MHS Events Calendar.

There 9 moves the fanciers of Dolapcı breed look at as the fundamental failures in a bird.
Under no circumstances a bird or it's young or it's young's babies display any one of these moves during flight are considered to be a pure Dolapcı.
Almost all of these moves or behaviors are signature moves of other performing breeds and quiet a few of them come from Ottoman Rollers (the breed known as the Oriental Roller in the west).
Most of the time these behaviors tend to get mixed up into lofts of Dolapcıs when a new breeder is brought in and it's family tree includes a Kosovo or Selanik bird.
Especially Kosovo birds tend to bring in Oriental roller moves since that breed was used in the creation of the Kosovos.
9th move tends to come out from birds with Selanik (Salonika) in their blood.
1- Sitting or tail-riding: Simplest move to notice. If the bird is left alone with it's mate in the yard or the rooftop, when flown it will clap wings and sit on its tail or ride its tail during flight.
2- Stretching: It is basically half of a tail-riding move.
3- Semi-Rolling: During flight the bird goes into a sluggish roll like spin.
4- Rolling: During flight the bird displays a roll similar to what rollers do.
5- Raking or Gliding: In an obvious fashion the bird rides on it's wings with out flapping, most of the time the wings are in the shape of "V"
during this glide.
6- Locking: During flight the bird starts performing and while spinning in a standard manner all of a sudden like someone just pushed it's off button it freezes, some can not get out of this lock and crash.
7- Propelling: With wings open or half open or one of them half open, the bird spins on its tummy like a spinning plate (wing , tail and beak tips being the rim of the plate) with a very slow velocity and almost flopping (skipping motion not a complete full circle) and loose altitude doing so, some can not get out of this and crash.
8- Strait spining: During flight all of a sudden the bird starts climbing or gaining altitude and at one point try to turn back like it wants to go back towards the direction it has been coming from but something similar to bird not being able to make this transition and its struggle is observed.
9- Getting Caught: If there are other fanciers around your loft, loosing birds to them.

All that other hoopla was just a scorn woman ranting.
Now - back to 9:08 for the laugh...
Men tend to dominate most of society's discussion on sex, and much of the discussion fails to create a portrait of a reality that I am familiar with. (Actually, a whole lot of what men say about women's sexuality leaves me shaking my head.)
Quesi,I was unable to tell if this TV show was a serious lecture or if she was playing the straight man (woman) to her own comedy routine.
Quote from: Quesi on September 29, 2012, 02:26:18 PMMen tend to dominate most of society's discussion on sex, and much of the discussion fails to create a portrait of a reality that I am familiar with. (Actually, a whole lot of what men say about women's sexuality leaves me shaking my head.) I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say here. If this is a reference to the screed that one finds on bathroom walls, then you must know that this is from from a very thin slice of men in the world. A hetero male's greatest fear is not satisfying a woman in his bed. To this end he may bluster to cover his hidden fear, but that should be rather clear. Could you explain your comment a bit more?
Let me start out by saying that when I hear the way men often talk about women's sexuality, the assumptions that they make, and when I see the way the media portrays women's sexuality, there seem to be more caricatures than portraits of reality. In spite of amazing progress in the past century, women are still often viewed as, and portrayed as, whores and madonnas and bitches and bimbos and ice queens. I spoke about this in another thread, but I have a real pet peeve when I see images of women who are supposed to be sexy, but whose bodies are contorted into some unnatural, uncomfortable position. It really pisses me off. I just want to jump up and down and scream "that is not what a woman looks like when she feels sexy!" And what a disservice these images do to men! They are fed false images of women's sexuality, and then when they see the real thing, sometimes they don't even recognize it. ..And I have no idea if I came anywhere near answering your question.

I think she had one very simple, very clear message. Some men are good in bed, but are really assholes. Don't fall for them. Great sex is great, but if you let great sex lead you into bad relationships, you'll regret it.
"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
@EV – I do not pretend to be privy to the content or tone of the sexual discussions that take place among 17 year old males, but let me ask you a question. You used the word "nymphomaniac" to describe her. What word would you use to describe a male who shares her enthusiasm for sexual activity, and her openness at describing his own personal sexual experiences?
I think you give her too much credit Quesi. She essential said that "nice guys" suck in bed and "predators" know how to hit it but will ruin your life. She goes on to say that if you enjoy the sex he must not be a nice guy and is only using you. Her entire rant seems to be about telling women they should not have sex with predators or vibrators. She is not condoling or recommending sexual exploration she is condemning it. I don't like her entire premise in the video. It removes all personal accountability, projects a negative personification on to men who are good in bed, and attempts to victimize women who fail to communicate their boundaries.
Vagina Power"Vagina Power" is an Atlanta based Public-access television show hosted by Alexyss K. Tylor, an African American woman. Aimed primarily for a female African American audience, the show mainly consists of Tylor speaking frankly and openly about various love and relationship issues in the African American community. Tylor is known for her very outspoken and in-your-face way of speaking, colorful vocabulary, and off-the-wall analogies. Alexyss also has a significant presence on YouTube, although a non-trivial portion of videos in this channel contain product endorsements or other material not entirely germane to her ideology.

PASSION - Le Mont St Michel (Premium Edition)
80 pages, monochrome Fine Art Photography and Exposition Catalogue
by FRANK SEIFERT
This is the price your customers see. Edit list price
About the Book
Forget about the awful machine-created preview thumbnail - click the "Preview Book" Bookshow and enjoy full screen preview. That's it! About the book: Le Mont St Michel, that's one of the most visited landmarks in France and Europe; a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The slim silhouette of the abbey has been firmly set into people's collective consciousness – every photo possible of the abbey seems to have already been taken. Really, every? Here the photographer attempts within a few days of photo shooting to break away from familiar postcard views and create his own images. Through influences including early Japanese painters such as Hokusai and Hiroshige or photographers like Ernst Haas and Eberhard Grames, large, uncluttered spaces and sometimes closely cropped images are created with extreme light-dark contrasts, sometimes reduced to details – with ever-new variations and views of Mont Saint Michel. The photos are intentionally reduced to the essential – even the colors. Through the monochrome duotone technique and printing on precious Baryta paper (exhibition prints only - not book), near-meditative visual classics are created which give the observer enormous freedom: colors can emerge in the mind, the gaze can wander, the intellect can interpret. The individual freedom of "prolong seeing" an image that one actually believed to have known … This book includes this short introduction in German, English and French language - all the other pages are filled with large format images shot night and day in April 2010. Annelie Bayer did a lot of postproduction, e.g. partially in micro contrasts and monochrome details. This is the large "Premium Edition" - just check the small budget "pocket" edition in my bookshop!

Testicular cancer is cancer that starts in the testicles, the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum.
Alternative Names
Cancer - testes; Germ cell tumor; Seminoma testicular cancer; Nonseminoma testicular cancer
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown. There is no link between
- Abnormal testicle development
- History of testicular cancer
- History of
undescended testicle Klinefelter syndrome
Other possible causes include exposure to certain chemicals and
Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. It can occur in older men, and rarely, in younger boys.
White men are more likely than African-American and Asian-American men to develop this type of cancer.
There are two main types of testicular cancer: seminomas and nonseminomas. These cancers grow from germ cells, the cells that make sperm.
Seminoma: This is a slow-growing form of testicular cancer usually found in men in their 30s and 40s. The cancer is usually just in the testes, but it can spread to the lymph nodes. Seminomas are very sensitive to radiation therapy.
Nonseminoma: This more common type of testicular cancer tends to grow more quickly than seminomas. Nonseminoma tumors are often made up of more than one type of cell, and are identified according to these different cell types:
- Choriocarcinoma (rare)
- Embryonal carcinoma
- Teratoma
- Yolk sac tumor
A stromal tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor. They are usually not cancerous. The two main types of stromal tumors are
There may be no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:
- Discomfort or pain in the testicle, or a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- Pain in the back or lower abdomen
- Enlargement of a testicle or a change in the way it feels
- Excess development of breast tissue (gynecomastia), however, this can occur normally in adolescent boys who do not have testicular cancer
- Lump or swelling in either testicle
Symptoms in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, abdomen, pelvis, back, or brain, may also occur if the cancer has spread.
Signs and tests
A physical examination typically reveals a firm lump (mass) in one of the testicles. When the health care provider holds a flashlight up to the scrotum, the light does not pass through the lump.
Other tests include:
Abdominal and pelvic CT scan
- Blood tests for tumor markers: alpha fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta HCG), and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
- Chest x-ray
- Ultrasound of the scrotum
An examination of the tissue is usually done after the entire testicle is surgically removed.
Treatment depends on the:
- Type of testicular tumor
- Stage of the tumor
Once cancer is found, the first step is to determine the type of cancer cell by examining it under a microscope. The cells can be seminoma, nonseminoma, or both.
The next step is to determine how far the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This is called "staging."
- Stage I cancer has not spread beyond the testicle.
- Stage II cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen.
- Stage III cancer has spread beyond the lymph nodes (it could be as far as the liver, lungs, or brain).
Three types of treatment can be used.
- Surgical treatment removes the testicle (orchiectomy) and may also remove nearby lymph nodes (lymphadenectomy). This is usually performed in the case of both seminoma and nonseminomas.
- Radiation therapy using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays may be used after surgery to prevent the tumor from returning. Radiation therapy is usually only used for treating seminomas.
- Chemotherapy uses drugs such as cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide to kill cancer cells. This treatment has greatly improved survival for patients with both seminomas and nonseminomas.
Support Groups
Joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems can often help the stress of illness. Your local branch of the American Cancer Society may have a support group. See:
The National Cancer Institute website also provides further information:
Expectations (prognosis)
Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable and curable cancers.
The survival rate for men with early-stage seminoma (the least aggressive type of testicular cancer) is greater than 95%. The disease-free survival rate for Stage II and III cancers is slightly lower, depending on the size of the tumor and when treatment is begun.
Testicular cancer may spread to other parts of the body. The most common sites include the:
- Abdomen
- Lungs
- Retroperitoneal area (the area near the kidneys behind the other organs in the belly area)
- Spine
Complications of surgery can include:
- Bleeding and infection after surgery
- Infertility (if both testicles are removed)
If you are of childbearing age, ask your doctor about methods to save your sperm for use at a later date.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of testicular cancer.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends against routine screening for testicular cancer because there is no known effective screening technique. This recommendation does not apply if there is a personal history of an undescended testicle.

"The Green Hornet" heads into the holiday weekend with less-than-boffo reviews.
Does this paltry punch behind the first of a league of superhero movies featuring less-familiar crime fighters – this summer's Thor, Captain America, and Green Lantern – mean dire news for the second-string colleagues of legendary crusaders Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man?
The stakes are huge. Superhero movies are rarely cheap, due to big special effects and pricey stars.
"Hornet," starring Seth Rogen, reportedly cost some $200 million for marketing and production, the same as "Iron Man 2," while "Spider-Man 3" cost an estimated $258 million, according to imdb.com.
"Superhero movies are a very reliable franchise for the studios," says Hollywood.com box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Even with occasional flops, "this is a very durable genre, one that is often review-proo," he says. When a franchise succeeds, he says, it can make up for many duds. "Spider-Man 3" took in $336 million in domestic box office alone, according to boxofficemojo.com.
This conventional wisdom is true up to a point, says comic book expert and aficionado Stephen Fishler of New York's Metropolis Collectibles, one of the nation's top comic book auction firms. There are mainstream reviews and then there is word-of-mouth, he says. "If a movie is bad, that word will get out, and it will not do well." While fans of top-tier superheroes will often turn out for even a middling film, the failure of the 2006 "Superman" reboot proves that a bad vehicle can ground even the biggest guys.
So when it comes to the lesser-known figures that have a far smaller built-in fan base, says Mr. Fishler, "it's more important than ever that the movie actually be good." That means the same criteria any moviegoer might have: "good visuals, good storyline, and great characters."
Heroes who have audiences wondering "who is this masked man?" have an uphill battle for name recognition in a crowded entertainment landscape. On the other hand, a minor character allows writers and directors more license for creativity.
" 'Superman' is such an icon that his narrative actions tend to be somewhat limited (Truth, Justice, American Way)," e-mails Brad Ricca, SAGES fellow at Case Western Reserve University and author of the upcoming book, "Super Boys." But the truly obscure figures often cover more interesting ground, he observes, such as drug addiction, homelessness, and race.
At the same time, Mr. Ricca notes, filmmakers can reach only so far down the action-figure food chain, and it comes down to just how good the character is. Even if there are multiple websites and fan clubs for some obscure '70s Marvel character like ROM Spaceknight, he says, "there's a reason those characters don't have comic books anymore."
Still, never say never in Hollywood, says Ricca. Bizarre Marvel characters "like Omega the Unknown, Marvel Boy, and Rocket Raccoon have recently been rescued from limbo to appear in highly acclaimed books."
The Walt Disney Studios has sunk $4 billion into acquiring the Marvel stable of more than 5,000 comic book characters. Despite the fact that the surprise success of the first "Iron Man" proved that a good film can elevate an obscure hero, Disney ought to keep an eye on the tepid response to "The Green Hornet," says Wheeler Winston Dixon, editor of the Quarterly Review of Film and Video at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
"Disney might be congratulating itself on delving deep into the Marvel back catalogue, but audience appetite for superhero films seems to have played out as a genre, both in straight versions and in parodies," he says via e-mail. This current "Hornet," despite director Michel Gondry's best efforts and the "wow" factor of 3-D, "seems like a tired retread rather than something that will launch a franchise, which is what Disney wants."
The genre has reached its saturation point, Mr. Dixon believes. He suggests studios glean a larger lesson from this: "We can't keep mining the past to make movies for the future." [Editor's note: The original version of this paragraph incorrectly attributed this quote.]

My puppy has some sort of rash looking thing on this muzzle. He seems to be loosing fur there, and it seems to be redish in color and looks slightly irritated. He does not scratch or itch it. Does anyone know what this is? Pics are posted below.
The rash does not seem to bother him really, but I am worried because it has been there for about 3 days and has not gone away or gotten better. Also, he only has this rash in the one place, not other places, and does not itch it. Also, he does not show any symptoms of illness at all, and is very healthy. He is also given flea and heartworm protection and does not appear to have fleas anywhere.
I am hesitant to take him to the vet, because last time I took him to the vet for a rash (that looked different) on his leg, the vet just said it was probably a small reaction to grass or something and would go away. Fortunately, that rash did go away on its own, but the vet cost m 100$ to tell me information that meant nothing to me.
Anyone know what this skin condition might be? Why he might have it? Is it serious?
Skin condition - What is this???

Less is more for Monroe County under the legislative redistricting plan that won final approval Wednesday from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Less is more for Monroe County under the legislative redistricting plan that won final approval Wednesday from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
More as in more clout.
One of the two state Senate seats encompassing parts of the county under the new maps has a majority of Monroe County residents in it. The three designated state House seats also have Monroe County majorities.
"Monroe County is one of the big winners," said state Rep. Mario Scavello, R-176. "When you have that type of unified effort on the issues, you can begin to throw your weight around."
The current alignment has six senators representing tiny portions of Monroe County, none with anything approaching a majority of Monroe residents.
Monroe County has a four-member House delegation, two of those districts split between Pike and Luzerne counties.
All but three of Monroe County's 20 municipalities will be placed in the 40th Senate District for the November 2014 general election. That district was moved from slow-growing Allegheny County, near Pittsburgh, to account for rapid Monroe County population growth the last decade.
Slightly more than half the residents in the new 40th District are in Monroe County, with the rest in northern Northampton County, including the Slate Belt.
Coolbaugh, Price and Barrett townships are left outside the new district, and will be part of the Lackawanna County-based 22nd District, currently represented by Democratic Sen. John Blake.
Blake already represents Coolbaugh and Barrett, but will lose Paradise and Mount Pocono to the new majority Monroe County Senate seat.
Blake said he is "a little disappointed" with the new Senate map statewide, but believes his new district is "relatively contiguous" with a common interest among constituents.
The new redistricting plan — developed by a committee of legislative leaders and a retired appeals court judge — was approved last summer. But the state's high court didn't rule on challenges to the plan until Wednesday.
The Supreme Court rejected a previous plan, ironically, on grounds it contained too many splits of political subdivisions, including municipalities and counties. That plan, though, had placed all of Monroe County in a single Senate seat, rather than the county split under the revision.
Scavello announced his candidacy for state Senate under the rejected plan, and said he is leaning in favor of running next year under the new Senate boundary. He will discuss the matter with family and his "support team" before making it official.
A House seat also is being moved into Monroe County — the 115th — from slower growing Lackawanna County. It will include Coolbaugh, Paradise and Price townships, six of Stroud Township's seven precincts, East Stroudsburg and Stroudsburg.
Scavello's 176th District will be realigned and encompass Chestnuthill, Eldred, Jackson, Pocono, Polk, Tobyhanna and Tunkhannock townships and Mount Pocono.
The new 189th House District, represented by Republican Rosemary Brown, will include Barrett, Hamilton, Middle Smithfield, Ross and Smithfield townships, Stroud Township's 7th precinct, Delaware Water Gap and Pike County's Delaware, Lehman and Porter townships.
Democratic Rep. Mike Carroll's 118th House District will be moved entirely out of Monroe County and based in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. Carroll said he has consistently spoken out against the current Monroe County legislative boundaries. He is pleased for Monroe with the changes.
"On balance, it is a much better representation of shared interests in Monroe County," Carroll said. "There was nobody who was able to defend the maps that were drawn in 2001."
The 139th House District of Republican Mike Peifer, which currently includes Monroe's Barrett and Price townships, will be entirely in Pike and Wayne counties under the new plan.

Special guest Laureen Riedesel, Director of the Beatrice Public Library, will give a special introduction on October 15, 2011 at 2 p.m. and will be available afterwards to answer any questions. So bring your family histories, documents, and questions to the monument as these workshops will help guide you in your search.
These workshops are free and open to the public. There will be information booths and resources available to the participants on both days. Everybody is welcome, whether you are just beginning or have been doing family history for years; these workshops will benefit your research.

As host city of the OR shows since 1996 ... we genuinely feel our community's service-first mentality and our unparalleled access to this industry's proving grounds, the great outdoors, makes Salt Lake the obvious choice for the OR shows. —Scott Beck, president & CEO of Visit Salt Lake
SALT LAKE CITY — After several months of deliberation, Utah's largest trade show will be staying put after all.
Outdoor Retailer announced at its Winter All Mountain Demo on Tuesday that it has elected to remain in Salt Lake City through at least 2016.
The convention currently accommodates 22,000 attendees and had been considering moving out of Utah due primarily to the difficulty of accommodating its ever-growing guest list at the Salt Palace Convention Center and temporary pavilions.
Outdoor Retailer showcases advancements in outdoor technology and brings an estimated $18.5 million of visitor spending and $40 million overall to the local economy each year.
Outdoor Retailer CEO Kenji Haroutunian said the company felt Utah was too much of a natural fit to leave behind.
"Outdoor Retailer is grateful to be able to remain in Salt Lake City for the next three years," Haroutunian announced. "The industry has a collective affection for this town. The shared outdoor passions, cost efficiency of doing business, and the partnership of regional and state officials have all directly contributed to the current vibrancy and success of the show."
Friction between outdoor industry leaders and Utah legislators escalated early last year after lawmakers passed a bill stipulating that more than 22 million acres of federally held land be turned over to the state. The action fueled additional speculation that Outdoor Retailer would take its convention to another city, such as with Las Vegas, Denver, Orlando or Anaheim, Calif.
However, the two sides appeared to make nice when the Governor's Office of Economic Development recently offered Visit Salt Lake — a nonprofit partner of Outdoor Retailer – an additional $2.6 million grant to fund temporary exhibit space.
"We're grateful for it because (the grant) was a mechanism whereby the community can complete and fulfill the deal. It was an integral element that we could not have gone forward without," Visit Salt Lake CEO Scott Beck said.
Despite the extra resources, questions remain about how attendees' lodging needs will be accommodated moving forward. Limited hotel capacity and public transportation have plagued the convention in the past.
"It's hard work to make a convention that spans 40 miles still feel like it's connected," Beck said. "But it's not impossible. We have seen other conventions that have done it."
The Outdoor Retailer trade show has steadily risen in popularity since it partnered with Visit Salt Lake in 1996. Organizers have recently tightened registration for both vendors and participants in order to reign in growth.
"Salt Lake ranked the highest as far as what our stakeholders wanted was concerned," said Maura Lansford, a spokeswoman for Outdoor Retailer. "But it came with the caveat that nobody is interested in commuting to the convention from Provo or Park City or these other faraway locations to participate. So it became a real 'between a rock and a hard place' scenario."
Haroutunian insisted that while the logistics remain a major concern, the convention's first choice all along was to stay in Utah.
"The Wasatch Front's setting is one of the greatest resources and special parts of our show," he said. "There's no other place like it. There really isn't."
According to research provided by the University of Utah, the average attendee at the Outdoor Retailer convention spends $923 over the span of about three days. Gov. Gary Herbert said he believes the economic impact of Tuesday's announcement will be far-reaching.
"This is great news for Utah's economy and further evidence that Utah is the premier place for outdoor recreation," Herbert said in a statement. "I applaud the diligence of all stakeholders who worked hard to accommodate the trade show's needs. It's part of our community, and we are earnest in our desire to keep the show in Utah beyond 2016, even permanently."
This year's Winter Market show runs through Saturday at Solitude Mountain Resort.
