Paging el doctor Freud! Spanish psychoanalysts go wild.
Published 4:00 am, Friday, December 29, 2006
Unconscious: Comedy. Directed by Joaquin Oristrell. With Leonor Watling, Luis Tosar, Nuria Prims. (Not rated. 108 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
Lurking deep inside "Unconscious" there could be a funny movie. The Marx Brothers having a romp with Freudian theory seems to be what filmmaker Joaquin Oristrell had in mind. As it is, this Spanish period farce is bumpy going with occasional laughs -- the combination of broad, slapstick style with psychoanalytic and transgressive content never really gets to the level of wit that Oristrell apparently intended.
It's 1913, and the Barcelona medical community is throbbing with excitement: No less than Sigmund Freud himself is about to visit. When a young psychoanalyst (Alex Brendemuhl) disappears, his pregnant wife, Alma (Leonor Watling), sets out to find him, with help from her brother-in-law, Salvador (Luis Tosar). They follow a trail of clues that involve the king of Spain, Freud's theories on hysteria, the making of naughty movies and a fair degree of then-novel sexual experimentation. By the way, the brother-in-law and his wife (Nuria Prims), a bundle of resentment, are having conjugal difficulties.
Because we live in a post-Freudian era, part of the fun of this picture is that it goes back to a time when the good doctor's theories were the last word in radical thinking. The smart and vivacious Alma has a very progressive outlook -- for her time, she's a liberated woman, far ahead of the conventional-minded Salvador, a stolid type who boxes for exercise and never sees much beyond the obvious. These mismatched detectives work together to pursue leads that bring them to wildly unexpected destinations.
They finally uncover the secrets of the missing man, which involve such Freudian standbys as repression, the Oedipus complex and incest. A wacky view of incest? Well, not exactly, but the film does address taboo topics without being ponderous or flippant.

What Oristrell can't seem to resist, though, is the tendency to lay it on thick. Aiming to have some fun with the period setting, he introduces a number of scenes with Victorian or Edwardian-era wooden frames surrounding the image. At other times, the action is speeded up to mimic old-time moving pictures.
There are other instances of heavy-handedness: The eminent medical man who announces Herr Doktor Freud's visit does so while waving about a very large cigar. That's a typical problem -- Oristrell's comedic sense only seems to succeed in spurts, and he often burdens the proceedings with a theatrical and contrived air that undermines the humor.
Still, this director is good with actors, and it's especially fun to watch the intrepid Watling, who's best known in this country for her roles in Pedro Almodóvar's "Bad Education" and "Talk to Her."

So sad. Oh well.

human stupidity is infinite
Ann is a true idiot and don't forget how Fox news was saying this is no bid deal at the start of all of this. No doubt there piece of garbage canidates will want to run for nuke power. Stupid dumb morons. PS I was a Physics major and am now a USCF chess master.
@ 1:10 "The government says the minimum amount you should be hit with" ….minimum amount?
Dear goodness, I'm 15 and it pains me to see the world as it is D: I'm trying my hardest to change it though 😛
The Rothschilds now contol 80% per cent of the world's uranium market, which explains the propaganda expressed through their media agents, who promote clean nuclear energy as a safe energy source for consumers.
I'm a doctor
i know how harmful radiation can be
I'd like her to expose herself to radiation ,if she's so sure.
and what about infants and pregnant women will she like to encourage them too
even in people who have cancer and are treated with focused radiation unfortunately most often develop another type of cancer
and what is really suspicious is her eagerness and insistence to make people feel safe with radiation
i mean if you cared about people you would at least tell the to be cautious despite it can be "good for you" not use that kind of attitude and excitmen
Anne Coulter is an evil man
The spas of Budapest are known for the healing effects of their radioactive waters. However, the levels are very low, as undoubtedly in the Taiwanese apartment building, or in the multiple chest X-rays preventing breast cancer. But high levels of radiation can poison and kill — and the fact that this simple distinction wasn't made makes this a very sinister news segment.
Obviously this woman is misinformed. Yes, some radiation could theoretically kill off bacteria, and could THEORETICALLY help you, but anything too high like the amount being released by the failing Japanese Nuclear Plant would have negative effects on your health. This woman has clearly misunderstood information provided to her.
I'd like to see Ann give this little spiel to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the kids of those victims. xD
I can still see this b***h's adam's apple.
If radiation is so good for us, I want to see Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter eat it.
Maybe she is right.
I think that scientists should decide, and we should not judge based on what the large media say.
That woman should be slapped by a pimp!!
Disappointing. I usually stand right with the folks who post on VC but I am not very pleased with what I am reading here. Why so much hate for Ann Coulter? Who cares about her? The comments about her that reveal hatred for her, show that many of you are still playing politics. ..sigh..
it isn't easy to break free from all the conditioning/programming! i am sure making this point will help some to see.
I guess I should be happy if I've got Radon.
Ummm we are exposed to radiation everyday ppl! From UV rays, xrays, infared rays, ultraviolet rays etc! We live off of this stuff! Uv rays gives us energy! vitamin D! but as always too much exposure will cause negative effects…..
Just informing you
Well said.
Ann Coulter is so full of hate for the human race it's obvious she's doing the bidding of her father the devil. Really.
A little radiation makes you SPIDER MAN apparently
ok…wait, y is oreily speaking of WTC poisoning? it was planes, not nukes that took down the towers right?? smh
Whattt an Idiottt.
Ann Coulter I mean. She is an idiot.
There's a certain symmetry to her promoting WHOR-misis…
OK, so who wants to chip in to help send this banshee to Fukashima to put her money where her mouth is??
The NWO elite are at it again…diversion and distration 101.
that is very disturbing and sad 🙁
She's an idiot
This is a perfect demonstration of how "her" mind works. Finding correlations counter to science and basing her belief systems on them. What a f'ing idiot. Why hasn't she suicided yet?
Are they F*&KING KIDDING?
ITS OFFICIAL NOW MAINSTREAM NEWS CNN !!!! CNN talks about how Humans will MERGE with computers, NO LIE! MUST SEE
TRANSHUMANISM is here … As VC been showin in msuic vids e.t.c it is now mainstream.
dear ms coulter is a dear misguided author who has no idea on what is going on in science. isnt there a reason why cancer treatment via radiation needs so many professionals? yes, there is. The reason is that radiation directed at normal cells will destroy them. the entire point of sine cancer cure research is to find alternatives to radiation….so how is lots of radiation good in any way? ms coulter can look at the damage done by radiation effects from the hiroshima bombing and rethink what she's trying to say
Ann Coulter is awesome. You guess are to blinded by your silly government conspiracies to she who amazing and smart Ann is.
Either A) you spelled everything wrong because you are mocking her or
B) you really are that stupid…
Bill O reilly master deceptor.
What about radiotherapy to treat cancer, isn't radiation in small doses actually having some use?
the doses of radiation are extremely small, targeted only at the mutated cancer cells. if someone doesn't have cancer/is not treated with radiation professionally, radiation can turn out to have deadly effects
Anybody ever seen that episode of the Boondocks with the Ann Coulter character?
Apparently she has a reputation for pitting people against each other, in order to make book sales. Check out that episode, I think it's season 2. Makes this article make a lot more sense…
I sometimes wonder if Botox has a mind-control component.
I wouldn't be surprised. I was reading the 599+ additives to cigarettes and I believe there were a few mind control chemicals soaked into the GMO tobacco. Hooray for chemicals.
"I would think that after seeing a couple of the articles on this site, that you would know that we have bigger and better things to accomplish besides trolling this website. Hopefully the radiation won't hit you "1st"."
What do you have to accomplish? Unless you have a part in political economy all youll be doing is trolling dropping comments like the rest of us. Get over yourself and go find a job….
I don't speak English has my first language, but I didn't hear her making a distinction between radiations you take at the hospital and nuclear ones like in Japan and other catastrophes. When Billy O'Relley made that joke about taking sunbaths near a nuclear reactor or something she didn't even denied it, she just went on on that spa where people would take massive amounts of radiation. She should tell this to people who were exposed to radiations and got children with lots of health problems and mutations. If she wants to prove it so bad I'd like to see her swallowing plutonium.
What. The. F****?!?!
I don't even know what to say. Wow.
common guys, give the dumb chick a break, after all drinking bleach whitens teeth so 😀
*no seriously Ann get lost -_-*
I had an Ukrainian friend in the uni who got married to another Ukrainian. Both of them were in 20s when they had a son who was born with severe health problems. I know for a fact that both parents had been exposed in radiation whilst very young. Radiation is a teratogenic agent in humans and animals. I didn't live in the former East block during chernobyl but I used to live in another European country thousand of miles away, I was quite young at the time however I remember even before we were informed about the Chernobyl accident we had severe headaches. The media might want to sugarcoat the hazardous effects of radiation. Nevertheless nuclear plants are a waste of space and we should use other forms of energy such as wind or sun.
Radiation doesnt cause lung cancer, is smoking; and high levels of radiation causes other types of so many types of cancer, the most common blood malignancies
Radon gas does cause lung and other cancers. Do more research.
I`m sure some studies have proved that certain levels of radiations are good for you. But now that Japan is in crisis and people are worried about the radiation risks associated with the tsunami , it is the wrong time for her to start publicizing these ideas. So far, nobody died because they didn`t have enough exposure to radiations, so i think we can afford to live without it.
I know! The b-word gets thrown around like it was harmless or something. I swear, I've always thought that word was harsh. I cringe every time I hear it. Ever since I heard my big sister call my mom that when I was a little girl, I've never been able to hear it, let alone call somebody that.
She`s an idiot ! is she for real ? while the victims of the tsunami in Japan are struggling and trying to survive, you are going to tell them that radiation is good for them ??? Take her to Japan and let her have this same speech…… LMAO , i would pay millions to see her face after she gets jumped by the people there 😀
even if 'samll amounts' of radiation are good for you, i'm sure it's not better than getting vitamin C and taking care of your health in general. I was bothered by how she didn't really clarify different types of radiaton, appearntley people who suffered in Japan (in WWII) and on 9/11 suffered similar effects? she didn't even say anything to him about this she just kept repeating "scientist say…" if her job is to go around repeating what scientist(or other people in general) say, without fully understanding it, why don't they just go straight the the source?
First of all, this smutbucket starts laughing when he reads her the title of her own article..then starts nodding her head like a sorority girl who got asked if she wants hunch punch then proceeds to babble vainly about some s**t she knows damn well she wouldnt go near…ahhh gotta love Fox…on another note, they both look dead behind the eyes. Smdh!!
I'm not totally sold on the Illuminati extraterrestrial origin theory, but I'd believe she's a reptilian.
Lol I read this message multiple times with the same results…
That was funny hahahaha.
The reptile people is a mind control theme. Check the programming. David Icke may actually believe it and be a victim himself.
The stone cold truth.
At the top they are hard core Lucifarians
They do it because their God is such. Its just that simple.
Know a few and they are crazy as hell, no pun. You could not make these immoral cretins up if you tried for a thousand years and many have been subjected to SRA and Mind Control themselves; which explains much. Children pay for the sins of their parents – tragic
God Bless, pray like you mean it.
As mad as a box of frogs.
In other words, lets all give into genocide.
"Health problems all day long"
ugh if the american people actually buy this….then we're all doomed

Anthony Hopkins is one of the only actors who can still get my butt in a theater seat merely by his presence in a film. I was intrigued by the trailer and the fact that the story was written by Steven King. I know his novels don't always translate well to the screen, but his short stories are a different matter, especially when they don't deal with murder and mayhem. STAND BY ME and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION are perfect examples. With director Scott Hicks behind the camera, I was hoping for a gripping tale that grabs the heart. Well, one out of two isn't bad. It's supposedly a coming-of-age story with a mysterious twist. However, it never really delivers much mystery or suspense. Mainly because the secret being kept by Hopkins character is never fully explored. Neither is the only aspect that gives the film it's underlying sense of urgency the appearance of the "low men." I wasn't looking for a FUGITIVE-like chase, but the film really needed to make them more of a preying presence. What keeps you interested is the relationships between Hopkins and his young friends. It's clear that Hicks really knows how to elicit great performances from child actors.
The film opens with David Morse, playing the adult Bobby, discovering that an old childhood friend Sully has just died. It sends him to the funeral where he discovers the third member of their trio, Carol, is also deceased. This propels him to seek out his old home, which is now condemned, where he finds himself on a trip down memory lane. To that magical summer he turned 11 and his life changed forever. Sounds intriguing, huh? Well, life for Bobby (Yelchin) is a never ending string of disappointment. His father is dead, his mother bitter and he doesn't get the bike he wanted for his birthday. What he gets instead is an adult library card and a lecture from his mother (Davis) about their dire financial straits, which don't seem to stop her from constantly buying new clothes. It's clear from the beginning that Bobby is more of a burden to his mother than a comfort. It doesn't really matter because he has two amazing friends, Sully (Rothhaar) and Carol (Boorem), and they have the best time together. He doesn't take much notice when Ted Brautigan (Hopkins) arrives to rent their upstairs room. However, it quickly becomes apparent that he's no ordinary border.
"Why do we always expect home to stay the same? Nothing else does."

Florida Catholic staff - Florida Catholic
St. Agnes Academy focuses on improving the academic curriculum, facilities and resources offered at the school. In keeping with this goal, St. Agnes has integrated the latest in technological resources for the 2011-2012 school year. The school has upgraded to new computers with flat-screen monitors campus-wide, and is currently upgrading the infrastructure to manage an ever-increasing demand on network and internet resources. But the most well-received technological tools implemented this year have been two iPad carts for classroom use.KEY BISCAYNE Each school year,
Each cart contains 26 iPads, and is checked out by teachers on a day-to-day basis, to be used for specific lessons with their classes. Already, in this first month of school, teachers have been lining up to check out the iPad carts. And the students, from preschoolers to middle-schoolers, have been very eager and excited to work with the iPads.
Over the summer, St. Agnes faculty received iPad training in order to make the most of the educational applications available for classroom use. There are a myriad of apps that the teachers are already using in all grade levels and subject areas.
For example, in middle school science class, students learned about proper lab safety procedures by creating a digital story with the Storyrobe app. In their Web 2.0 class, students used the ComicLife app to create comic strips tied into their history lesson about life in Mesopotamia. Middle school students have also used the iPads to take virtual tours of German concentration camps, and to do research for their Future City project.
In the elementary grades, students have been using iPad apps in their reading groups, to improve word recognition, spelling and reading fluency. In math classes, they use apps such as math bingo to reinforce adding and subtracting at a faster pace.
Even the preschoolers have gotten to use the iPads in their classes. Students in PreK-4 have used the Alphabet Tracing app, where they practice tracing letters to gain greater letter recognition and fine motor skills.
Overall, the iPads have been greata educational resources and hands-on tools for everyone at St. Agnes Academy. The teachers love using the iPads in their classrooms, and the students love using them to learn.

About the Book
Sir Sam Vimes gets knocked back in time thirty years in this rollicking adventure in Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld® series
One moment Sir Sam Vimes is in his old-patrolman form, chasing a sweet-talking psychopath across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying naked in the street, having been sent back thirty years, courtesy of a group of time-manipulating monks who won't leave well-enough alone. This Discworld is a dark place that Vimes remembers all too well—three decades before his title, fortune, beloved wife, and child on the way. Worse still, the murderer he's pursuing has been transported back with him. And on top of that—it's the eve of a fabled street rebellion that killed a few good (and not so good) men. Sam Vimes knows his duty, and by changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks—though it could cost him his own personal future. Plus there's a chance to steer a novice watchman straight and teach him a valuable thing or three about policing—an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes.

Following are highlights of national news coverage George Mason received during the past week:
Friday, June 21, Los Angeles Times
Mental Retardation: It's More Than Just IQ Science
"'What we try to do is look at the entire picture and consider all the mitigating variables in deciding whether a person is mentally retarded,' said psychologist Jack Naglieri of George Mason University, who said he has been involved in court cases involving convicts whose mental status was questioned. 'Sometimes it's not a simple thing to determine.'"

Chung Tries to Distinguish Herself Among Cable's Chattering Class
"The show will need a distinct personality to establish itself, said Frank Sesno, a professor at George Mason University and CNN's former Washington bureau chief. 'The first and most essential element is a great idea,' he said. 'If they're just going into this with the idea of having another interview program, I'm not sure it's going to work. The show has to have a purpose, it has to be conveyed to the audience and they have to deliver every night.'"
Monday, June 24, People Magazine
The Top 50 Bachelors

In his own words: 'I don't know if it was stupidity or persistence,' says Kohn of the decade he spent preparing. 'But I always felt I could win a medal.'"

Confusion Reigns Where Law Meets Cyberspace
By Bradford C. Brown, chairman of the Tech Center at the George Mason University School of Law, and David Post, a Temple University law professor and senior fellow at the Tech Center
"The court should probably be forgiven for failing to speak with one voice on this question [of regulating pornographic material on the Internet]. Most people would probably agree that children should be protected from some of the nastier stuff floating around the Internet. But the devil's in the details, and regulatory tools like community standards, which served to protect speech diversity in realspace, don't translate well in this new borderless medium. Technology and the law intersect here in new and complex ways, and the only thing that's clear is that a constitutional solution that protects our children will require a greater understanding of the technology (on the part of our lawmakers) and a greater understanding of the law (on the part of our technologists)."

Bring Back the Hostile Takeover
By Henry G. Manne, dean and professor emeritus of George Mason University School of Law
"Since Enron, there has been an outbreak of regulatory fever in Washington: A tide of 'solutions' has sluiced from the pens of journalists and the mouths of politicians. Apparently forgotten is how Enron and other recent scandals were the direct result of regulatory and judicial efforts to stem abuses in the takeover arena 20 and more years ago. They still haven't learned just how high the cost of interfering with salutary market forces can be."

Airlines Continue to Claim Loans Post-September 11, Putting the Future of the Airline Industry in Jeopardy
Kenneth Button, George Mason University professor of public policy: "By propping up airlines, the government essentially is propping up an industry which may well be too large, may well not have the best players providing the services which customers would like."

Nationals considering Astros' Cooper for manager post
Published 5:30 am, Monday, October 9, 2006
Astros bench coach Cecil Cooper, who has been pegged as a top managerial candidate by general manager Tim Purpura and manager Phil Garner, has been asked to interview for the managerial opening with the Washington Nationals, a person close to the situation told the Chronicle.
It is clear that the Astros have given a team permission to interview. Respecting that team's right to make the announcement at its own discretion, however, Purpura wouldn't reveal the team that sought permission. The Nationals, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers all have managerial openings.
"I can confirm that a major league team has asked for permission to speak to Cecil about the manager's job," Purpura said.
Cooper, who has served as Garner's bench coach the last two seasons, was not available for comment.

The Effects of Kethu in Different Houses
By Kavita Chhibber
As I mentioned in my piece on Rahu in the previous issue, Rahu and Ketu are also known as Dragon's head and Dragon's tail. They are considered the nodes of Moon, or shadowy planets because they don't have physical bodies. The two planets move backwards or are retrograde and give sudden and unexpected happenings in life. Their effects are modified for better or for worse depending on if they are by themselves or conjoined with other planets. Usually the effects of Rahu are considered like that of Saturn and Ketu like that of Mars, although some astrologers also think that Kethu is like Mercury and gives only half the results if by itself in any house.
Following are the effects of Kethu in various houses in the Horoscope. This is basic information and all planets are affected by degree, conjuctions, aspects on them, placement among other things.
Kethu in the First House: The person has a sharp intelligence but if Jupiter or Mercury doesn't aspect the planet, the full potential of the person may not be fulfilled. It gives restlessness, discontentment and in spite of hard work, struggles continue financially. In Capricorn, Scorpio, Aries and Aquarius when the position will be less detrimental, Kethu tends to create many problems. It affects conjugal happiness also. A person with this placement is often exploited by others.
Kethu in second House: It gives financial ups and downs, health troubles in the throat and dental region, obstructs education and makes the person inclined to use foul language when angry... Family tensions will abound. If Kethu is strong and well placed then there will be opposite results and many financial gains.
Kethu in the third house: This placement makes the person strong and intelligent, with a lot of mental and physical toughness, but also mental stress due to disputes that occur from time to time. It gives success and long life but the upper part of body especially the arms may be prone to injury.
Kethu in the fourth House: Unless Kethu is well placed, it can give losses through real estate, affect mother's health adversely. It affects studies and causes family tension and breaks in education.
Kethu in the fifth house: This will give loss of first pregnancy to a woman unless husband's horoscope is strong. Even then it will give a difficult pregnancy or difficult delivery. It makes one prone to stomach troubles also if badly placed, and affects relationships with children.
Kethu in the sixth house: This gives strength, determination, name and fame. A person with this placement can overcome any adversity or opposition. It does predispose the person to piles and fistula or other private organ infection and affects eye sight adversely. Early childhood is usually not happy.
Kethu in the seventh house: This gives danger from water and gives attachment to a partner not accepted by family. It can also give hernia or other intestinal infections. Stomach area is weak. It gives mental worry, losses from theft, but Kethu in Scorpio in the seventh will be beneficial.
Kethu in the eight house: Unless in one of its benefic signs, this position affects longevity adversely. It gives financial losses, quarrels and opposition from loved ones. If Kethu is well placed in Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo and Scorpio it will give gains. Ailments in the area ruled by the sign Kethu is in, in the eighth house will occur. There will a be a tendency to have extra marital flings. It also makes a person accident prone.
Kethu in the ninth house: Gives troubles to father and paternal relations, but gains from foreigners. Affects family ties adversely especially with male siblings. If joined with a benefic the negative effects will lessen.
Kethu in the tenth house: This gives popularity, brilliance and stamina. The person will always overcome his/her ill wishers and will travel far and wide.
Kethu in the eleventh: This gives financial gains but affects progeny adversely. Number of children may also be limited.
Kethu in the twelfth house: This is an adverse location for finances. Conjugal happiness is impaired.

Male Friends in Oman
Question: Is it halal for me to hug [/touch] a male friend? as a Muslim woman?
Answer: Even with the best intentions, and the purest hearts, the answer is no. The Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam said: "It is better for one of you to be pierced by a steel pin in his head than to touch the hand of a non-maharam woman." [Al-Mundhiri mentions that all the narrators of this hadith are trustworthy. Al-Albani classifies it as a good hadith in Ghayah al-Maram (no. 403).] The same goes for women touching non-maharam men, other than tending fatal wounds or in conditions in cases of emergancy, which other ahadith allow, such as in the battles of Jihad against the Quraysh. Even for Islamic instructions and occasions, men and women did not touch. The Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam never shook hands with an unrelated woman. Umaymah b. Raqiqah said: "I came to the Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam with a group of the women of Madinah to swear fealty for Islam. The women informed Allah's Messenger sallalahu alahi wa salaam that they wished to swear fealty to him. The Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam said: 'I do not shake hands with women. The way I accept the pledge from one woman is the same as with one hundred women [which was documented to be verbally]." [al-Muwatta', Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah]. It is known that when men wanted to enter into Islam, they used to do bay'ah with the Prophet where they agree to abide by his commands and avoid anything he prohibits. Then they used to seal this by shaking hands with the Prophet. However, with women, the Prophet used to never shake their hand and simply complete the bay'ah with words. And who can have a more pure heart than Prophet Mohammad sallalahu alahi wa salaam, who said "I do not shake hands with women"? The Prophet's wife Aisha also said: "No, by Allah, Prophet Mohammad's hand never touched a women at all, and he used to take bay'ah from them by words". May Allah subhanhu wa ta'ala make the answer apparent to one who seeks it, and easy to obey, ameen.
The person asking the question mentioned male friends. A Muslim woman does not share her personal life with non-maharam men, as mixing of men in women in Islam is in most cases haraam (sinful/harmful to mankind), and the rest makruh (disliked). The Holy Qu'ran describes the role of men and women like this, "The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another" [Holy Qu'ran 9:71]. It also states that women and men were created to be spouses of one another, but I'll admit, I am too lazy too look that ayah up cuz I'd have to make wudu to get my Qu'ran out, lol. I'll try and add it later, inshaAllah or someone else can try and beat me and add it in the comments section:D It does not say anywhere in ahadith or Qu'ran that men and women's role towards eachother should be anything more than as protectors, or if married or related, caregivers and providers. Friendship between spouses was cherished in the forms of being playful with one another, confiding in one another, pleasing eachother, and physically taking care of one another. Unmarried men and women who played the role of protectors in society, were discouraged from entering on the private places of one another:
Narrated by 'Uqba bin 'Amir: Allah's Apostle said, "Beware of entering homes or rooms in which non-maharam ladies are." A man from the Ansar said, "Allah's Apostle! What about (Al-Hamu) the in-laws of the wife (the brothers of her husband or his nephews etc.)?" The Prophet replied: The in-laws of the wife are death itself." In this hadith we see that men were told not to purposefully go to the same places as non-maharam women. This also applies to women, as explained after the next hadith.
Narrated by Abu Huraira: A group of women came to Allah's Prophet and said to him: "We cannot attend your majlis (gathering) of men, so, appoint us a day to come to you (alone)." He said: "We will meet at the house of so and so." He went to them on the specified date and place. Among what he said at that day to the present women was "any woman who rises up three children for the sake of Allah will enter paradise." One woman said: "And two?" "And two," the Prophet said. This hadith illuustrates that is was known to the women of the Sahaba (may Allah be pleased with them) that they also should not purposefully enter into the company of non-maharam men. They also knew not to speak uneccessarily in the presence of non-maharam men. Narrated by Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "The saying 'Sub Han Allah' is for men and clapping is for women i.e." (If something happens during the prayer talking is not allowed, except the men can invite the attention of the Imam by saying "Sub Han Allah (i.e. Glorified be Allah )", and women, by clapping their hands). But saying that exchange of asalaam alaykom may be given between men and women when there is not fear of temptation, and conversation may occur with good intention. Narrated by Asmaa: Allah's Apostle passed by a group of women near the mosque. He waved his hand to them in salutation and said: "Beware of being ungrateful to your husbands, beware of being ungrateful to your husbands." And, Narrated by Anas bin Malik: The Prophet passed by a woman who was sitting and weeping beside a grave and said to her, "Fear Allah and be patient." So we may socially inform, question, and Islamically greet and advice our non-maharam brothers and sisters in Islam, but this is the extent of the mixing between men and women in Islam. It certainly was NOTHING like a "platonic" relationship between a man and a woman popular outside of Islam.
When scholars warn against the free mixing of men and women, they are not talking about the mere presence of men and women together in the same place. This is something that is definitely not prohibited by Islamic Law. Men and women gathered in the same place at the time of the Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam in the mosque and in the marketplace. They walked down the same roads and public thoroughfares. The mere presence of men and women in the same area is not a great cause for temptation. It would be wrong to treat this as unlawful mixing, since the reason for prohibiting free mixing does not exist in such circumstances. If someone were to prohibit men and women from frequenting the same public places under the pretext of preventing temptation, this would be taking matters to an extreme and imposing a restriction that is unduly severe. Such a policy is, moreover, unnatural and would impose great hardships on people's lives.
We cannot compare situations like these to the general presence of men and women at shops and other open public places, especially when women are accompanied by their family. In such cases, there is no intimacy, no crowding, and no reason for suspicion. Preventing women from public places frequented by men in order to prevent temptation would be taking things to an extreme. A woman is commanded in Islam not to come too close to men. She is not, however, prohibited from going to places where men are present as long as she does not approach them or place herself in a position where she is alone with them. There can be no doubt that preventative legislation is an important part of Islamic Law. There are numerous rulings in Islam that are preventative in nature. However, this does not mean that we can legislate against every remote possibility of wrongdoing that we can think of. Doing so would be a violation of Islam's tolerance and magnanimity and its ease of application. It would place too great a burden upon the believers.
People might differ as to the degree of mixing that is prohibited. We can, nonetheless, get a good approximation of proper limits by reviewing the laws of Islam that govern the relationship between men and women. The sacred texts provides ample evidence about how and when men and women can meet, how women should dress and conduct themselves when they go outside, and many other pertinent matters. It is impossible for free mixing between men and women to occur if Islamic Law is properly observed. (the last bit was taken word for word from here http://www.islamcan.com/youth/prohibition-of-free-mixing-between-men-and-women.shtml). As I felt it was a good explaination, and contains more evidences than I have provided. Just think about it (I know it can be hard, being a non-muslim with male friends in the past myself) but in the Holy Qu'ran Allah subhanu wa ta'ala says "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them." and says: "And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty." [Surah al-Nur: 30-31]. This shows us how men and women are to conduct themselves. So how I am going to bestest best platonic budies, with a man I am not supposed to be looking at, and who I am speaking to only in a modest manner (speech not soft and informal on the basis of subject---I am not speaking to him unecessarily, only to inform, teach, help/do a job I must/ give dawah, greet, ect)? I am not. I am going to be his protector in the public sphere. Only if I am married to him, or his sister of daughter or neice, ect... am I going to by pleasing and easing and playful. He, the same to me.
Here are some great posts on the subject I enjoyed reading by others sister:

THE GOVERNMENT'S new fund for orphan drugs faces a massive shortfall of at least £17 million - almost double the warchest which was made available earlier this week.
Our conservative estimate is based upon the cost of so-called orphan drugs which haven't been licensed for use in Scotland.
Orphan drugs are medicines which treat rare conditions affecting fewer than one in 2,000 people.
By their nature they are very specialised and have relatively few patients to spread the costs associated with bringing them to market , therefore, the only way drugs companies can make money on them is to increase the price.
There are around 70 such orphan drugs licensed for use in the European Union and although some of them are used already in Scotland, others, including cystic fibrosis wonderdrug Kalydeco, are not.
If every eligible Cystic Fibrosis sufferer in Scotland, such as young Maisie Black, was to be prescribed Kalydeco, it would blow a £14.5 million hole in the government's recently announced Maisie's Fund.
In Scotland there are at least 33 other orphan drugs which have been refused a licence by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) for various reasons.
Figures, including costs and the number of patients who would benefit are not available for all drugs.
But, for the ones which are available, the cost of administering them outstrips the pot of cash announced by health secretary Alex Neil on Monday.
If just 16 of these drugs were to be routinely prescribed to patients, they would cost in excess of £24,027,891 every year - more than the entire budget.
And that's not including Kalydeco - the drug little Maisie's family are battling for her to receive - which forced the government to act in the first place.
The Record exclusively revealed Maisie's plight as mum Tilda and John told of their anger after their daughter was refused access to the £182,000-a-year drug which will save her life.
Some orphan drugs are more expensive than others.
Sodium Oxybate, which is marketed as Xyrem, is used in the treatment of those with narcolepsy, meaning sufferers can fall asleep at any given time.
Treating up to 2000 Scots with the condition would cost an absolute minimum of £9.6 million every year.
The SMC refused to licence it due to its "economic case not being demonstrated."
And cancer drug Trabectedin, brand name Yondelis, which is used to treat advanced soft tissue sarcoma, would cost health bosses £1,337,350 a year.
It was refused a licence because "the manufacturer's justification of the treatment's cost in relation to its health benefits was not sufficient and in addition, the manufacturer did not present a sufficiently robust economic case to gain acceptance by SMC."
So, although the fund was welcomed, it is a mere drop in the ocean compared to the actual cost of the drugs which could benefit the lives of so many Scots.
Sodium Oxybate (Brand name Xyrem) is used in the treatment of cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy.
It costs around £12,000 per patient per year, and is not currently licensed for use in Scotland.
Estimates between 800 to 2000 patients in Scotland would benefit from it, costing a minimum of £9.6 million.
Idursulfase (Elaprase) is used for the long-term treatment of patients with Hunter syndrome, a serious genetic disorder that primarily affects males.
Given by weekly infusion, the drug costs £309,660 per year to administer.
Around seven patients in Scotland would benefit, costing £2,167,620.
The SMC refused to licence it as the "treatment's cost in relation to its health benefits was not sufficient."
Pegvisomant (Somavert) treats patients with Acromegaly, where the body produces too much growth hormone.
It costs between £27,500 to £55,000 per patient per annum.
Although rare, Acromegaly is a life-threatening condition, which can lead to patients' life expectancy being cut by 10 to 15 years. Thirty-one patients with uncontrolled acromegaly in Scotland may be eligible for treatment with Somavert - costing between £852,500 and £1,705,000 each year.
The SMC refused its licence as cost effectiveness is "poor".
Stiripentol (Diacomit) is an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of severe epilepsy.
It costs £5,216 per year for each patient, with around 38 patients eligible to be treated with the drug.
Total cost for providing it would be £198,208 per year.
The SMC declined its licence as there was "no formal economic evaluation".
Mitotane (Lysodren) is used in the advance treatment of cancer of the adrenal glands.
Manufacturers estimated the cost to be around £29,000 per patient, per year, and its thought up to 50 patients per year could benefit from it, at a cost of £1,450,000
The SMC declined its licence due to the economic case "not demonstrated" and "insufficient evidence of boosting survival".
Trabectedin (Yondelis) is used for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, cancers of the supporting tissues of the body including the muscles, nerves, fat, blood vessels and fibrous tissues.
Its used for end-of-life treatment, and costs around £3,821 per cycle. Clinical trials have shown patients require an average of seven cycles, so the treatment would come in at around £26,747 per patient, meaning a grand estimated total of £1,337,350 per year.
Histamine Dihydrochloride (Ceplene) is used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (where the bone marrow makes large numbers of abnormal immature white blood cells).
Costing around £29,053 per patient per year, the SMC rejected a licence for it as the "manufacturer did not present a sufficiently robust clinical or economic case".
Around 31 new patients would be eligible for the drug each year, costing a total of £900,643.
Sorafenib (Nexavar) is for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (cancer of the Kidney).
It costs around £3,544 per cycle, with patients receiving an average of 10 cycles, therefore £35,440 per patient.
Its estimated around 35 new patients per year could benefit, so the total cost could be as much as £1,240,400, but the SMC dismissed it as its cost-effectiveness had "not been demonstrated".
Ofatamumab (Arzerra) is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
It costs £ 40,586 per patient, per treatment, which involves weekly intravenous infusion of the drug for 8 weeks, followed by four monthly infusions.
It was refused a licence by the SMC who claimed the Manufacturer "did not present a sufficiently robust economic analysis".
A minimum of four Scots per year could be treated with the drug, giving a very conservative estimate of £162,586 per year.
Aztreonam (Cayston) - The Cystic Fibrosis drug costs £15,399 per patient per year. Up to 60 patients could benefit, at a cost of £923,940.
It was refused by the SMC because "the company did not present a sufficiently robust economic case".
Amifampridine (Firdapse) - It is used in the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) in adults, a rare disorder in which faulty communication between nerves and muscles leads to muscle weakness.
It costs between £9,910 to £39,640 per patient, depending upon doses required. Around nine patients would benefit from it, at a total cost of up to £356,760.
Firdapse was refused a licence as "the submitting company's justification of the treatment's cost in relation to its health benefits was not sufficient and the company did not present a sufficiently robust economic analysis to gain acceptance".
Recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (Myozyme) - Used in the treatment of Pompe disease, an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the body.
Up to four children and 10 adults could benefit from the drug.
Cost depends upon dose, and comes in at £ 38,333, for a child and £230,000 for an adult.
Total cost would be £2,253,332.
Due to the high costs, the SMC felt "the economic case had not been demonstrated" by the manufacturer.
Ziconotide (Prilat) - Used in patients with chronic severe intractable pain. Up to 13 people could benefit at a cost of between £1631 to £3534 depending upon dose. Total cost would be up to £45,942. The SMC rejected its use as "the manufacturer did not present a sufficiently robust economic analysis to gain acceptance by SMC".
Dexrazoxane (Savene) - It is used in the treatment of anthracyline extravasation, a condition which occurs when intravenous drips given to patients leak into surrounding tissue.
It was denied a licence by the SMC due to cost issues.
Up to 17 patients could benefit each year, at a cost of £6750 per treatment, making a total of £114,750.
Thiotep (Tepadina) - Used in the treatment of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, it's thought up to 305 people could be eligible. It costs £5,152 - a total of £1,571,360.
It was refused a licence by the SMC due to the submitting company "not presenting sufficiently robust clinical and economic analyses".

Atlanta Child Murders— Part I: Critical Thinking
October 18, 2010
Although television is replete with lapses in critical thinking skills (witness shows like The Ghost Whisperer ), there are welcome exceptions. One of them was Soledad Obrien's CNN special, Atlanta Child Murders (which first aired June 10, 2010). This in-depth review of a sensational and controversial case by an award-winning journalist gave short shrift to phony psychics and provided further evidence against the convicted serial killer, Wayne Williams. As it happens, I had also researched the Williams case and written about it in my forensic textbook, Crime Science .
Over a twenty-two-month period beginning in July 1979, thirty African-American children and young men either disappeared or were found murdered in Atlanta. The serial killings made national and international headlines. In time, in response to public pressure, a special Atlanta Homicide Task Force was set up to solve the crimes. As the case progressed, criminalist Larry Peterson of the Georgia State Crime Laboratory began to identify distinctive fibers found on the bodies of the victims, including yellowish-green nylon fibers and violet acetate fibers—in all, twenty-eight different fibers plus dog hairs.
Meanwhile, the police arrested a suspect, a young black man named Wayne Williams. Officers who had a bridge under surveillance heard a splash about 2:00 A.M. on May 22, 1981, and stopped the only car that had been on the bridge at that time, driven by Williams. A search of his home and car provided numerous fibers similar to those found on the victims' bodies. As well, witnesses testified that they had seen Williams with some of the victims, and, of course, there was the fact that after his arrest the murders had ceased.
At Williams trial, the defense sought to discredit the fiber evidence, arguing that a particular fiber might be in the home or vehicle of any of numerous people. But the prosecution challenged the jury to consider the limited number of people who would have the particular carpet that was the source of one distinctive type of fiber; out of those, they asked, how many could also be expected to have a particular bedspread that was the source of light green cotton fibers blended with violet acetate fibers? And of the few who might have the same carpet and bedspread, how many would also drive a 1970 Chevrolet station wagon as well as own a German shepherd? And so on. During the time when Williams was known to have been using a rented car, fibers that could be matched to that car's carpeting were discovered on victims' bodies. The jury understood the evidence and on February 27, 1982, convicted Wayne Williams of the two murders he was tried for. He was sentenced to life in prison, whereupon Atlanta's police commissioner closed 21 other murder cases.
A little later that year, at an international microscopy conference where I was a presenter along with Larry Peterson, I was able not only to see the criminalist's impressive presentation of the fiber evidence but to discuss it both with Peterson himself and with world-famous microanalyst Walter McCrone (who is best known for discovering paint pigments on the Shroud of Turin). McCrone had been called on to review Peterson's work on the Williams case and had done so favorably. (For more on the case with an emphasis on the fiber evidence, see Joe Nickell and John F. Fischer, Crime Science: Methods of Forensic Detection , 1999, chapter 3, esp. pp. 75-84.)
In 1998, after Williams' lawyers argued that prosecutors had withheld evidence in the case, Georgia circuit judge Hal Craig upheld the convictions. He termed the fiber evidence "the strongest scientific link in this case." Now Soledad O'Brien has taken yet a new, in-depth look at the Atlanta child murders, and Williams' guilt seems well established. There is even new evidence: DNA from two human hairs found inside one victim's shirt would exclude some 98% of people in the world, but is consistent with Wayne Williams, who according to experts, "cannot be excluded."
(Next time: Part II focuses on "psychic" involvement in the Atlanta case.)

That was very interesting, but the fact that you give it this attention makes me wonder; is the presentation of compounding evidence a rarity with prosecutors?
#2 Brian Carnell (Guest) on Monday October 18, 2010 at 5:04pm
You say you found the fiber evidence compelling, but you don't say how the fibers were compared/analyzed. As the National Research Council's recent report (Strengthening Forensic Science In the United States 2009) on forensic evidence found, fiber comparison is one of a number of areas of forensic "science" that lacks set standards and controls, and although certain laboratory tests can conclusively demonstrate that fiber A and fiber B are from the same carpet, for example, such tests are rarely performed in part due to expense.
As the National Research Council noted:
"There have been no studies of fibers (e.g., the variability of their characteristics during and after manufacturing) on which to base such a threshold. Similarly, there have been no studies to inform judgments about whether environmentally related changes discerned in particular fibers are distinctive enough to reliably individualize their source, and there have been no studies that characterize either reliability or error rates in the procedures. Thus, a "match" means only that the fibers could have come from the same type of garment, carpet, or furniture; it can provide only class evidence."
How were the fibers in the Williams case analyzed?
#3 tim dugan (Guest) on Tuesday October 19, 2010 at 1:54pm
the criticism of Ghost Whisperer is unwarranted…it is pure fantasy and EVERYONE knows it.
Better to compare with Cold Case which is silly in how the investations always follow the same type of chain and end with someone caving in and admitting to the truth.

The purpose of the Presidential primary is to select delegates to a national convention of a political party where that party's nominee for U.S. President will be selected. Voters must be registered in the Democratic or Republican party to vote in that party's primary. In New York State, the Republican and Democratic Presidential primaries are organized differently.
Republican Voters will be issued a ballot with candidates listed. The voter will choose one candidate, but will not vote for delegates. Please be advised that some candidates have withdrawn from the race but are still listed on the New York Ballot. Delegates for the Republican Party's national convention are selected by the state's Republican Committee.
Democratic Voters will be asked to vote for the Presidential candidate AND delegates for the democratic convention. The delegate distribution will be determined by the number of votes each Presidential candidate receives. Based on the population of your congressional district, you will vote for 5-7 delegates (indicated on the ballot instructions). Outside of NYC, the delegates listed in the same row across from the Presidential candidate are the delegates for that candidate. In NYC, the delegates are listed in a separate column next to the column of Presidential candidates; the name of the candidate that they are pledged to support is indicated under the delegate's name (see sample ballot here).
For any questions regarding your ballot please call your County Board of Elections office (click here), Common Cause/NY at 212-691-6421 or call the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683) OR 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA (1-888-839-8682).

It is only a matter of time before Andrea Consigli becomes a regular in the Giro Azzurro, says Atalanta teammate Guglielmo Stendardo.
The goalkeeper is having an impressive campaign and was selected for the first time by Italy boss Cesare Prandelli for the August friendly defeat to England – although he didn't feature.
However, he hasn't been picked since as Prandelli has kept faith with Gigi Buffon of Juventus, Napoli's Morgan De Sanctis, PSG's Salvatore Sirigu and Emiliano Viviano of Fiorentina.
"He's worth a place in the national squad based on what he is showing," the defender told the Eco di Bergamo.
"At times, there are those who get the maximum with the least amount of effort and those who have to give the maximum to get the minimum.
"Andrea just has to continue on this path and, eventually, the evidence won't be ignored…"

Looking for family
Hello to anyone who reads this. My name is Nicole Caples and I am originally from Jonesboro, Arkansas and I am trying to find out as much about my family history as possible. My grandfather's name was John Henry Caples Jr. and he married Doris Aileen Holland. They were both from Bono, Arkansas which is just outside of Jonesboro. My grandfather died on January 16, 1994 and there's not much that my grandmother or my father know about our family history so whatever anyone could help me with would be greatly appreciated.

Miley, Lilly, and... Hannah, chapter 9
''Hey Hannah,'' Lola said.
Hannah turned around and faced... a purple hair girl. Who is she ?
''Hi, err, do I know you ?'' Hannah asked, confused. The girl didn't answer. She just looked at Hannah. Hannah was growing uncomfortable. Who let a fan in? She looked around, hoping to spot someone who could help her if... but the girl laughed. That laugh...
''Oh my god,'' Hannah whispered, stunned. ''Lilly ?''
Lilly nodded. ''Here, it's Lola...''
''Lola... '' Hannah giggled, but was still in shock. ''what, but we, wawa,.wewa..'' she babbled
''Okay, I didn't quite get everything you just said, but if you're wondering why, let's just say I needed a way in Hannah's world because I'm desperatly and completely in love with her.''
Hannah smiledShe couldn't believe what she's just heard. It couldn't be real. It was an hallucination.
''I need to talk to you'' Lola said. She took Hannah's hand, and led her outside.
The air was warm for a night. A small breeze was blowing, slightly moving Hannah's long blond hair. They walked for a while, in silence. They finally reached a small park, nobody was there. They stopped. Lola looked up at the sky. She had never seen so much stars.
Hannah was staring at Lola, uncomfortable. So she had told her she loved her, but what now? She was stamping. She couldn't wait anymore. Her heart was beating fast, her knees were weak.
Lola finally looked down, and turned to face Hannah. She took a deep breath. She was shaking because she was nervous. She was scared of Hannah's reaction. However, when their looks joined, all the stress disappeared. How could she have doubts about them? Hannah's eyes showed even more love than possible. Lola felt safe.
''Listen Hannah...''Lola started. ''I've made the biggest of my life by letting you go...'' her eyes dived in Hannah's with an endless intensity. ''I got scared when I saw you drifting away, when I saw that I couldn't be with you all the time...'' Lola stayed silent for a few seconds. She finally said ''I love you so much''. Hannah could feel that she meant it with all her heart.
''I love you too Lil... Lola.'' Hannah smiled. She felt warm in her heart, things she hadn't felt for too long.
''so what do you say? Do you wanna jump of the edge with me?''
'' without knowing if we'll have a solid ground below ?''
''Yes... but you'll have my hand...'' Lola said, seductively.
And Lola could see Hannah smiled, no, Miley smiled. For the first time, Lilly could finally see Miley under Hannah's wig. The girls kissed like never before. They were shaking in each other's arms. They held on to each other, scared to let go. It was like they had turned the light back on. The sparks came back, the world started turning again, and they finally embraced their joined destiny.
This was how Lilly became Lola. This was how Lola started to date Hannah. This was how Lilly found her place in Hannah's world and an even bigger role in Miley's life.
Author's note : here's another chapter of Liley's story. So, now Hannah has Lola, and Miley has Lilly. What will happen to them next ? What will happen at school ? Will they finally take their relationship one step further ? Check the new stories to find out ! Reviews are still welcomed ! Thanks for reading

Bruce made easy work of Okolona Friday night defeating the Chieftains 48-6 in the final regular season home game for the Trojan seniors.
The win locked up no worst than a second seed for the 8-2 Trojans when they begin the post season in two weeks. Next week they face rival Calhoun City with the Region 1-2A title on the line.
The only way Bruce could finish second in the region is to lose to the Wildcats by seven points or more.
Bruce showed no signs of looking ahead Friday night as they routed visiting Okolona.
A 5-yard touchdown run by Zay Armstrong and 52-yard interception return by Jonathan Bobo for a score gave Bruce a 13-0 lead after the first period.
Terrance Jones sacked Okolona's Jacolbi Heard in the end zone for a safety to begin the second quarter. That was followed by a 32-yard touchdown strike from Davis Brown to Rashad Turner and a 3-yard touchdown run by Zack Cruthirds.
Leading 28-0 to open the third quarter, the Trojans extended that margin with a 9-yard touchdown run by Zay Armstrong and a 3-yard scoring pass from Brown to Turner.
The final score came on a 5-yard run by Cruthirds.

text: In December 2000, artist Carolyn Braaksma of Surface Strategy, LLC of Denver, Colorado was selected to design the art which was integrated into the mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall facing on the north and west walls of the third runway. Carolyn Braaksma has worked extensively designing site specific, integrated art works using concrete and terrazzo mediums. She has worked collaboratively with other artists and design team members on many projects throughout Arizona, Florida and Colorado. Much of the artistic concept is based on the variety of natural resources that have drawn people to the Puget Sound, including the climate, the flora and fauna of the land and sea, and the relationship of the land, sea and sky. A boat serves as the focal point to signify travel, adventure and exploration, and the metaphorical link between land and sea embraced by various cultures. The curving north wall features the boat with monumental figureheads of a scale to match the size of the wall and to fit in with the scale of the outdoors. The wall is approximately 1,220 feet long and 86 feet tall. Companion images are used on the west wall, which is approximately 1,460 feet long and 133 feet tall, but is not as visible as the north wall. Landscaping that coordinates with the images softens the hard surface of the walls and further diminishes their size. The design is cast in the face of the five-by-five concrete panels of the retaining walls. The images have a relief of about two-and-a-half inches, with a natural color range provided by the hues of exposed aggregate and integral colors. The art work is visible from Highway 518 on the north, Des Moines Memorial Drive on the west, and from S. 154th Street at the base of the wall.

When you need the advantages of an inflatable SUP board, Jimmy's are among the finest on the market.
Storage issue? No problem. Travel? No problem. Rocky, and shallow rivers? No problem. On a budget? No problem. The Jimmy Lewis inflatables fit the bill! .
10'3 X 33″ X 6″: $1499 (CAD) Weight: 12.8 kg (28.2 lbs.) Inflated, including fin.
9'2 X 33″ X 6″. $1399 (CAD) Weight: 12.0 kg (26.4 lbs approx). Inflated, including fin.
Jimmy's two-stage pump makes blowing up your board a breeze! Complete with pressure gauge showing suggested pressure.
Which size? For family fun, yoga, and just goofing around on waves or flat water, the Maestro Air 10'3 or 9'2 are the call. They are super stable, so if you want to bring your kids and the dog with you, you'll have a blast.
The Searcher Air is a mid-size board which can float paddlers of any size or skill. Great for fishing or touring and it comes with extra tie-downs on the tail. Available in several colour choices.
If you want to paddle longer distances at higher speed, the Sidewinder Air 12'6 is the fastest of the three boards (it's one of the fastest inflatables on the water!).
All Jimmy Lewis inflatable boards are extremely stable and can handle rider weights of up to 250 lbs, or more (even the 9'2!).
Features: Jimmy's inflatables are constructed with Mirasol drop-stitch fabric and double-layer PVC fabric which allows a max pressure 25 psi (1.72 bar). We recommend pumping them up to 15 psi, but it's nice to know they can handle a lot more. The double-wall stringer construction technology is light, forgiving and almost indestructible. They come with a high-quality deckpad, a carry handle, and tie-down bungees to store extra gear or a PFD.
Note: there are lighter inflatables on the market, but they don't have double wall construction and cannot handle high pressure and they are not nearly as durable as Jimmy's. You get what you pay for, so make sure to educate yourself, and don't get fooled by cheaper products!
In the box: US Base polycarbonate fin (the fin box is compatible with all standard SUP fins). No screwdriver needed! Top quality backpack bag for storage and transport with padded shoulder straps and inner storage pockets. Industry standard HP 2-stage pump for quick inflation (it takes about 5 minutes in total, but don't try to do it all at once). Pressure gauge. Adjustable aluminum 3-piece paddle (1215 grams). Recommended for use as a spare or backup. Repair kit (just in case, but you'll likely never need it!).

We have the greatest opportunity in history to make dramatic breakthroughs on many frontiers, opportunities to improve our service to society.
~Soror Virgil Lockridge ~
December is National AIDS Awareness Month
We are the only National Sorority who has a A34Life Project partnership with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to provide HIV/AIDS education within the communities we serve.
FACTS about HIV/AIDS
Enters the Body through the…
· Lining of the anus or rectum
· Lining of the vagina and/or cervix
· Opening to the penis
· Mouth that has sores or bleeding gums
· Cuts and sores
· Needles (syringes)
HIV is transmitted through…
Through Bodily Fluids:
· Blood
· Semen
· Pre-Seminal Fluid Vaginal Fluid (Pre-Ejaculate)
· Breast Milk
· Anal, Vaginal, or Oral Sex
· Sharing needles or injection equipment
· From HIV-positive women to their babies
Ø Before or during birth
Ø Through breastfeeding after birth
HIV Acute Infection…
· Also called – Acute Retroviral Syndrome
· It frequently occurs in the first few weeks after HIV infection, before antibody test results become positive.
· Persons are highly contagious during this period because of extremely elevated virus concentration.
· http://www.cdc/std/treatment/2010/hiv.htm
Factors that may Increase Rick of…
HIV Transmission through Oral Sex
· Oral ulcers
· Bleeding gums
· Genital sores
· Presence of other STDs
· Semen in the mouth
How does HIV lead to AIDS?
· HIV affects specific cells of the immune system, call CD4 cells, or T cells.
· Then HIV destroys a significant number of CD4/T cells, the body can no longer fight off infections and disease. When this occurs, HIV infection leads to AIDS.
African Americans
· Among young people aged 13-29, African Americans account about half of new infections.
· In 2009, 50% of diagnoses of HIV infections among adults and adolescents were in Blacks/African Americans.
HIV Youth
· 1 in 4 new HIV infections occurs in youth ages 13 to 24 years.
· About 12,000 youth in 2010, or about 1,000 per month, were infected with HIV.
· About 60% of all youth, with HIV do not know they are infected, are not getting treated, and can unknowingly pass the virus on to others.
· http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/hivamongyouth/
How can HIV be prevented?
· Know your HIV status
· Get tested if you had unprotected sex at least once.
· If you are at increased risk for HIV, get tested once a year.
· Abstain from sexual activity or be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner.
· Limit your number of sex partners. The fewer partners you have, the less likely you are to encounter someone who is infected with HIV or another STD.
· Use condoms correctly and all the time.
Ø "Natural" or lambskin condoms do not provide sufficient protection against HIV infection.
· Get tested and treated for STDs and insist that your partners do too.
Preventing the Spread of HIV…
· Male circumcision can reduce HIV transmission from women to men during vaginal sex.
· Do not inject drugs.
· You still need to be tested even if you are now in a monogamous relationship.
· Obtain medical treatment immediately if you think you were exposed to HIV.
· Sometimes, HIV medications can prevent infection if they are started quickly. This is called post-exposure prophylaxis.
· Use protection even if you take Anti-HIV medications and your viral load is undetectable as you can still infect others.
ASK… For more information about the causes, risks, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
ACCEPT… Responsibility for knowing your HIV status and reducing your risk.
ACT… Responsible and in the best interest of yourself, your partner(s) and the needs of those living with HIV/AIDS.

#MWC10: Nokia and Intel introduce MeeGo, a Moblin-Maemo software platform (video)
In a rather surprising announcement, Nokia and Intel have just unveiled MeeGo – a mobile, Linux-based open source software platform that merges Maemo OS with Moblin OS. If you remember, Nokia and Intel announced back in 2009 that they would collaborate for a new software platform – but I didn't expect them to unveil the platform at MWC 2010.
Just like Google's Android, MeeGo is free and supports multiple hardware architectures across a vast range of devices, like: pocketable mobile computers, tablets, netbooks, "mediaphones", in-vehicle infotainment systems and connected TVs. Well, now I understand why Nokia didn't join the Open Handset Alliance.
Hosted by the Linux Foundation, MeeGo includes the Qt application development environment and the best capabilities of the Moblin core OS.
Thanks to Qt, developers will be able to write apps for MeeGo and then easily deploy them on Symbian, and vice-versa (by the way, MeeGo apps will be available via Ovi Store).
MeeGo will run on high-performance devices, providing multitasking, visually rich graphics and a variety of "Internet, computing and communication experiences."
"MeeGo will drive an even wider range of Internet computing and communication experiences for consumers, on new types of mobile devices. Through open innovation, MeeGo will create an ecosystem that is second to none, drawing in players from different industries. It will support a range of business models across the value chain, building on the experience and expertise of Nokia, Intel and all those who will join us. Simply put, MeeGo heralds a new era of mobile computing," declared Nokia's CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo.
Intel Vice President Doug Fisher, and Nokia Vice President Ari Jaaksi talk about MeeGo in the video below:
Nokia and Intel say that the fist MeeGo devices will be available before the end of 2010. Until then, here's the official MeeGo website.

Main :: POD X3
by belerofon on 2012-01-06 09:20:04.1780
Hi there!
Can i have different tones saved as tone 2? I mean when i save second tone, same tone 2 is on every bank. Can i have several different second tones at the same time? For example on first bank big bottom+modern hi gain, and on second sparkling clean+blackface lux?
by birro on 2012-01-06 18:03:53.0360
You mean like in bank 1, you have A, B, C, D. So you have 4 patches for bank 1.
So you would have 2 different tones for "A", 2 for B, 2 for C and 2 for D.
I mean: 1A tone one: distortion for rhythm
1A tone two: distortion for solo
1B tone one: clean chorus
1B tone two: clean chorus adding more reverb and a phaser...
Yes you can. A guy who bought my X3 Live asked me about this and he did it pretty well.
But the thing is that playing in a same music it's hard to hit that tone swtich. For me it's better using A, B, C, D. Generally I never use more than 4 patches in a same song. So for my band's setlist I have about 16 full banks of patches, on which 8 are for my Ibanez and 8 tweak to handle my LP.
Yes you can but try to not get embarrassed hitting a wrong switch to change between tones 1 and 2
by silverhead on 2012-01-06 18:39:52.1050
I think you have Tone 2 Locked. On the Home page display, there's a little padlock icon in the bottom row. Turn the little black knob beneath the icon until it is in the unlocked position. This should restore your Tone 2 availability on all patches.
by belerofon on 2012-01-07 03:19:26.9380
Ah yes, i mean patches, sry
I want to have on A two clean tones, on B clean+crunch, on C two distortion tones, and on D distorted solo tones.
Because you know, with dual tone I can make some better tones(for what i hear).
But when i set my dual tone on A(two clean tones), then I switch to B and set clean+crunch, then my second tone on A changes to crunch instead of clean
AAAAAAAAAAND thanks silverhead and birro!
I unlocked tone 2 and now I have what I want!
by mlatham70 on 2012-08-01 12:59:09.4850
I have to give you my personal thanks. I updated my x3 live and the lock went on as a result of the new updates. I thought I was in a bad situation but now that I read this and unlocked the tones I am happy. Thank you!
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

'Thunder' Stars Visit Camp Pendleton
Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. attended a screening of "Tropic Thunder" at the Camp Pendleton U.S. Marines Corps base, Paramount Pictures said.
The screening was organized in partnership with Navy Morale Welfare and Recreation, Marine Corps Community Services, DreamWorks Pictures and the USO.The three stars walked a green carpet, shook hands with troops, posed for pictures and introduced their new action-comedy Sunday before hundreds of Marines, sailors and their guests at the MCC Base Theater, Paramount said.
"We were really excited to show this movie to the military personnel who do so much for our country," Stiller said in a statement. "I think they really got a kick out of seeing a bunch of spoiled actors complaining about how hard it is to do a war movie. But seriously, it was really hard. We almost did a boot camp but then decided on a cast dinner instead."
"Tropic Thunder" opens Aug. 13 in the United States.

"He has got a good engine, he can tackle, he can pass.
"He is just a typical box to box midfielder, a top class player.
"If new players come in it makes me work harder in training and out there on the pitch. That's what every footballer's like. We are competitive."
