(Look close – I'm the guy in the green shirt next to the building.)
I recently returned from a week-long stay in San Francisco.
Now, before you jump to conclusions that'll confuse matters as I continue on with my story about San Fran, (yes, there's even more to the story!) it's important to clarify I was in San Francisco, California – not, I repeat not, San Francisco, Córdoba.
Okay? I just saved you from asking a bunch of inappropriate questions about whether I heard any good cuarteto while away, plus making embarrassingly irrelevant jokes about "getting a dolor de la panza from eating too much Cabsha Alfajores de Dulce de Leche Cubierto con Chocolate." I know you too well, dear reader! You and your assumptions.
San Francisco, California is located roughly 3,670 miles south-west of Prince Edward Island, but don't confuse the two – only one of these locations was watered with the many tears of the Mi'kmaq people and named after a British royal who was no fun at drinking-games.
Hint: This couple never went to a Giants game.

The Three Ages of Woman
Measures: 180 x 180 cm
Technique: Oil on canvas
Depository: Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Comtemporanea, Rome
This painting is beside Klimt's monumental works and his early decorativ works, his largest painting on canvas.
The portrayal shows three females in different stages of life. Klimt comes back to his early faculty paintings and shows three figures subsidary for mankind, symbolising the life cycle. The boyish beauty of the young woman with her hair surounded by flowers is a clear allegoria of spring. The baby and the young woman have their eyes shut and seem to be floating in an ornamental colourful aura. The old woman is hiding her face behind her long gray hair. The three figures are set on a decorativ and colourful background surrounded by the spheric grey of the universe.

Eadweard Muybridge

- Not on display
- Further information
Muybridge was a pioneer in the advancement of photography and the development of the moving picture. Studies of movement became a widespread fascination later in the nineteenth century and improvements in photographic techniques allowed for a lower exposure time making these studies feasible. Having started his investigations in the 1870s, 'Animal Locomotion' is Muybridge's greatest work taking from 1884 to 1886 to complete. It contains 781 plates of animal and human movement for scientific and artistic purposes.
'Mr. Muybridge is not only an original but a daring man. He has smitten one of the gods of British ideology. Not the least instructive part of his lecture was his contrast between the positions of animals as shown in ancient or modern art with their true positions as shown by themselves in presence of the camera'. G.A. Sala, 'Tribune', New York, 24 June 1882.

By Larry Fine
NEW ORLEANS, Jan 30 (Reuters) - With four of the last five Super Bowls decided by less than a touchdown, Sunday's title clash could come down to a kicking contest between Baltimore's red-hot Justin Tucker and San Francisco's ice cold David Akers.
"I think special teams can have an impact on every NFL game because games are so close," Baltimore Ravens special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg told Reuters on Wednesday.
"We think it's going to be a great match-up and the special teams will be a big part of the game."
Both teams have excelled on kick returns and coverage, but the two special team players most likely to put points on the scoreboard, or cost their team points, are the kickers.
Tucker, 23, comes into the game off an outstanding rookie campaign having connected on 30-of-33 field goal attempts in the regular season and both of his tries in the postseason.
Akers, 38, has missed the most field goals of any NFL kicker this season, hitting on just 29-of-42 opportunities during the regular season and 1-of-2 in the playoffs.
The strong left-footed Akers, who a year ago earned his sixth Pro Bowl selection after converting 44-of-52 attempts, was at a loss to explain his struggles.
"An inch is a mile in this game," Akers told reporters about his frustrating season. "We're not missing by much. We're doing great in practice, doing great in pre-game.
"It's just one of those things that if I had the answer I would have fixed it a long time ago."
Confidence in Akers sank so low that the 49ers tried out other kickers during the postseason and considered a change.
"It's not like I forgot how to kick, it's just that we've had issues that have come up," said Akers. "Whether I've misjudged wind ... the holding (for the kick), the snap situation."
For Tucker, it has been just the opposite.
Undrafted after his kicking career at the University of Texas, the Ravens signed him and changed his technique during training camp and installed him as their kicker.
"I made a 180-degree transformation from the kicker I was in college technically to the point where I have so much more control over my ball now," he said. "I feel like ... it's hard for me to miss."
Akers knows that he can bury the memory of his worst NFL season with one kick at the Superdome on Sunday, but understands the pressures.
"It comes down to whether you can make or miss. There's no gray area," he said.
Riding his kicking high, Tucker said he has imagined hitting a game-winning kick in the Super Bowl.
"I definitely have," he said. "These are the moments that you dream about and you think about as a little kid.
"Just thinking about it now, you almost get goose bumps thinking about it." (Editing by Frank Pingue)

I have to agree with the safety conscience among us.
Get a SNELL approved helmet. I never had a full face helmet but I would get one if I were to ride again. When I had my accident last summer, I had a SNELL and DOT approved 1/2. I got a little road rash on my face...nothing major because i landed on my back. But let me say again that I got a minor head injury (im damn lucky) even with a helmet on!!!! So it is beyond important to get a great helmet that fits properly and one last bit of advice:
once its on cinch it up!! I've heard a few accidents stories where the helmet flew off because it wasn't cinched up properly. In once case the person died.
Cinch it up, Baby!

While you are getting a helmet, consider adding a nice crash jacket to your scooter wardrobe, too. It can't hurt, and it might even make you look cool.*
*and before anyone says anything... Nope... There is no hope for me. I gave up on aspirations to coolness a long, long time ago and nowadays strive just to look slightly less than completely dorky. It's questionable if I have managed even that. ;)

Bob's Cycle Supply in Little Canada, at Highway 36 and Rice St. is having their spring sale today through Sunday. They only sell gear (helmets, jackets, etc.) so it's a good place to look to get ideas also.

I actually looked at the Bob's ad. They are open till 9pm tonight and Friday, 9-5 Saturday and 11-4pm on Sunday. The sale is all four days.
They have a supercool men's nylon mesh jacket with armor and liner for $70. I've been thinking about a mesh jacket. I tend not to wear my Joe Rocket Ballistic when it gets warm.

I'll throw my 2 cents in too. The best advice I ever heard was "Open helmet {edit - Oops...I meant open face}= closed casket".
I was lucky that I found a helmet at Scooterville that has been really comfortable for me. It is a flip up that is DOT approved, but not Snell.
I guess the logic is that they don't have proper Snell testing for flip ups. Some would pass Snell as an open face, but fail as a full face, as I understand it, so they just don't approve any of them. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I heard at one of the cycle shops. Can't remember which one.

So closed helmet = open casket? :)
If you wanted to be *REALLY* safe you wouldn't take the risk of riding at all and stay in your car. A closed face helmet is certainly safer than one which is not, but again it all goes back to the level of risk you are willing to take with your well being for things like vanity and comfort IMHO.

OK, I've broken a helmet. But it's really hard to do. Basically, you have to be racing your brother while riding a 68 350 Honda and then go through a mailbox into the ditch. The honda was in two large parts when I was done also. Lucky I landed in some mud.
It was a bell fiberglass? open face helmet with a plastic shield. The shield was pushed into my glasses and my glasses into my right eye socket. Missed the eyeball, 22 stitches around my eye. Also broke a bunch of toes and cut open my right knee.
My point is, helmets work. I'm guessing that closed helmets work better. I use a Scooterville flipup, but occasionally a half-shell on a warm day. I wear an armored jacket to commute but not always when it's hot. I wear boots when I ride a long way, but sometimes tennis shoes.
You balance risk, scooters, life, everything. Get a helmet that you'll actually wear all the time, that's the best kind.

Good point Brad - the best helmet is the one that you'll wear every time you ride. A really safe, high-quality full-face helmet won't protect you sitting in its fancy bag in your garage. So if you know you'll wear a halfie and you won't wear a full, get a half.
Me, I got a flip-up and a shorty when I bought the stella. I hated the flip-up and so never wore it, but the shorty made me too nervous. So that's when I got the HJC AC-3 - it's a 3/4, which means it provides all the protection of a full except the chin. And I always wore it. For winter I wanted to get an AC-11 because the HJCs fit me the best, but budget reasons pushed me to stick with the flip-up and I've been happy with it for winter use. But the point is, get what you'll wear! And you might not find the right combo on the first or even second try.

Here's a bit of the skinny on Snell, DOT and helmets in general. Some of it comes from research. Some is annecdotal. The most accurate comes from experience.
DOT compliance is completely voluntary and scarcely monitored. Any helmet manufacturer can make the claim that their helmet(s) have been tested and meet or exceed DOT standards. They may apply the DOT sticker and that's usually the end of the story. From what I've been able to decifer, DOT will randomly purchase and test helmets from a wide variety of manufacturers. It seems like they report the results on 20 - 25 models per year. Really a drop in the (no pun) bucket, given the number of manufacturers and models available. Most pass. Some don't. It doesn't appear that they punish the ones that don't pass muster. You'll see some big names as well as off brands in the failure list.
I have heard, and it appears to be the case, that a good number of helmets(usually on the lower price margins) come from one of a small handful of factories. [ i.e. many helmet brands. Few actual manufacturers.] All Snell rated helmets have been tested. Manufacturers submit certain helmet models to Snell Memorial Foundation for certification.
To get certified will come out of the manufacturers pocket. Often you will see the most expensive models from a given helmet company only carrying a DOT rating. A PHD in physics would help in reading about the various levels of Snell testing.
I've also heard the claim that the difference between manufacurer A's helmet @ $650.00, and manufacturer B's helmet @ $250.00, is $ 400.00.
The one constant is that proper fit is vital in chosing a helmet.
Helmets have been greatest variable of any product sold at Scooterville. We have tried a variety of manufacturers over the five years of sales. We now sell
of the brands we sold in our first year. We have added two new lines (Fulmer & Zox) for this year. As a small business, we have to let the market direct our inventory to a certain extent.
The reality is, in a helmet optional state, that many customers come in not
a helmet. (After all, it's only a scooter...). So our first responsibility is to put something,
, between that haircut and the pavement.
From a business standpoint, carrying a full inventory of models, colors, and sizes can turn into a huge capital outlay. We follow the market and end up with a wider selection of 1/2 helmets(still way better than nothing) and a limited selection of
modular and full face models.
SPAM ALERT: I think we're still the only shop in town that can put you into a full face snell rated helmet for $ 110.00.
We can special order a variety of premium helmets.
Okay. I've way overspent my 2 cents. There are probably many on this board who can correct, refute, or expound on my version.

Bob, that sounds exactly what I've heard from others. And I don't think anybody can fault the 'ville for their limited selection considering the size of your operation compared to the big players.
When you say you can get more premium helmets, how general is that statement? Can you get just about anything? And if so, how close are you to the other shops' prices? PM me if you don't want to seem to be advertising on the board...

I've been totally impressed by Scooterville's people.
I didn't get my scooter there because I bought a used Vespa* off of CraigsList.org, but I've been there several times with my boyfriend, and he bought a red 50cc Buddy there last week.
So when I needed to get a helmet, I went there and got a 3/4 Fulmer helmet. Hard to find a helmet to fix my 2XL head (you'd never know it, what with my totally average body). Fits really well.
They don't seem to sell gloves or other wearables, so I'm gonna follow the advice in this thread for the other shops in the area.
*although I hear now that they
a Vespa dealer.

Rich Lowry rejects the argument that Alberto Gonzales should stay in order to prevent a "blood in the water" phenomenon. He notes that this argument was raised in favor of retaining Donald Rumsfeld and may have delayed a salutary change at DoD.
But Rumsfeld was replaced because President Bush wanted to change policy in Iraq, not in response to a ginned-up "scandal." Gonzales' ouster would be a reaction to the alleged scandal, and would have nothing to do with policy.
That's not to say that the "blood in the water" argument should weigh significantly against Gonzales' ouster. Gonzales should go if he's committed real misconduct (such as lying or obstrucing justice), if having a new A.G. will help the president politically, or if (like Rumsfeld) he has lost President Bush's confidence. I see no evidence of misconduct by Gonzales or of any appreciable political advantage in his discharge. I don't have great confidence in Gonzales (and never have), but that's Bush's call.
UPDATE by JOHN: Reuters has obtained a copy of the testimony that Gonzales' former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, has prepared for Congress. (I'm not sure when he is scheduled to testify.) As the one person who has been fired as a result of the faux "scandal" involving the U.S. Attorneys, the Democrats had hoped that Sampson might sell out his former boss. No such luck, apparently:
The firings of eight federal prosecutors "were properly made, but poorly explained," U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff said in testimony prepared for delivery to Congress.
"The distinction between 'political' and 'performance-related' reasons for removing a U.S. attorney is, in my view, largely artificial," Sampson said.
He said the decisions to fire eight of the 93 U.S. attorneys were made after lengthy consideration that began after President George W. Bush was reelected in November 2004.
Sampson said he considered each of those ousted a "wonderful lawyer," but noted they all served at the pleasure of the president and that to his knowledge none were ousted for "an improper reason."
I think it's fair to say that every U.S. Attorney in modern history, if not all of U.S. history, has been hired at least in part for political reasons. Likewise when they have been fired, unless somewhere along the line one has been found to be corrupt.

Want to learn more about "what makes you tick", what your energetic blueprint/makeup is? Or perhaps you know the basics, but you want to learn "to read" charts, or to work with "moving energy" (transits and progressions) more effectively.

Deputy and K-9 officer injured in Dec. 28 wreck
An Effingham County deputy and his K-9 partner, J.O., continue to recover from injuries they both sustained in a Dec. 28 accident on Midland Road.
Deputy Alvin Anthony Cantrell was responding to a call for service about 10 a.m. when a car in front of him abruptly stopped, sheriff's office spokesman David Ehsanipoor said. The deputy was traveling south on Midland Road toward Ga. 30 with his siren and lights on when the accident occurred.
"The deputy tried to avoid him and ran onto the shoulder," Ehsanipoor said.
The deputy lost control of the patrol car, flipped and landed upside down in a ditch.
The deputy was trapped inside the car for 30 minutes before fire crews were able to extricate him.
Cantrell was taken by helicopter to Memorial University Medial Center where he remained as of Monday with multiple injuries. Cantrell spent much of Saturday in surgery, Ehsanipoor said.
Cantrell has injuries to his arms, leg and head.
Ehsanipoor said Cantrell has "way to go" to recover, but is in good spirits.
"He is appreciative of all the community support he has received," Ehsanipoor said. "He is
The K-9 officer is being treated at Webb Animal Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery.
The Georgia State Patrol cited Rhett Cash, of Rincon, for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. The Georgia State Patrol continues to investigate which is protocol for the sheriff's office on crashes involving a deputy.

Only NFL team that has two of league's top 10 players? The Denver Broncos
If star power means anything, the Broncos should be the favorite to win the Super Bowl during the upcoming 2013 season. What is the only NFL team that can boast two of the top 10 players in the league? Not the Baltimore Ravens. Not the Green Bay Packers. Not the New England Patriots. The answer is: Your Denver Broncos.
Quarterback Peyton Manning is the fourth-best player in the NFL, and linebacker Von Miller ranks No. 8 among all league players, according to a list compiled by cbssports.com, which took input from NFL general managers, coaches, players and, of course, the videotape. Pete Prisco, a senior NFL columnist for the CBS website, and I discussed what having Manning and Miller among the top 10 means to the Broncos. Listen to our conversation here:
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is No. 1 on the list. Do you agree? And is it reasonable to expect Manning can be the second-best QB in the league at age 37?
Kick it with Kiz and Peter Burns by joining the discussion on Mile High Sports Radio Monday through Friday from 7-9 a.m. At 93.7 FM and 1510 AM.

by Christy A. Visher, Ph.D., and Pamela K. Lattimore, Ph.D.
About the AuthorsDr. Visher is a principal research associate at the Urban Institute's Justice Policy Center. Dr. Lattimore is a principal scientist at RTI International's Center for Crime, Violence, and Justice Research.
Key demographics were recently released from a study of reentry programs under the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI)—a Federal effort to help States use their correctional resources to reduce recidivism.[1] Aimed at increasing public safety, SVORI is an unprecedented national response to the criminal justice, employment, education, health, and housing challenges that adult and juvenile offenders face when they return to the community.
RTI International, a nonprofit research group, and the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan economic and social policy research organization, are conducting a 5-year evaluation of the effectiveness of the SVORI programs. In the National Institute of Justice-funded evaluation, researchers interviewed prisoners at 16 sites, asking them shortly before they were released what services they felt they would need. Here is a summary of the demographics and responses of the SVORI group (a sample of 935 men who received SVORI services) and the comparison group (923 men who did not receive SVORI services).[2]
More than half of the men in the SVORI group are African American, and nearly one-third are Caucasian.[3] The majority of the SVORI group are neither married nor in a steady relationship. The average age of the men is 29. Sixty percent are fathers of minor children, and nearly half of them reported having primary care responsibilities.
Nine out of 10 men in the SVORI group reported having a job at some point in their lifetime, and nearly two-thirds said they were employed during the 6 months before their incarceration. They typically held blue-collar jobs, serving as laborers, service workers, equipment operators, and skilled craftspeople.
Nearly half reported that they had supported themselves in part through illegal activities, and more than two-thirds reported perpetrating violence during the 6 months before they were incarcerated. Eighty-three percent served prior prison terms. The majority of the group reported having family members and friends who had been convicted of a crime or had problems with drugs and alcohol.
Part of the evaluation of the SVORI programs is based on prisoners' responses to questions about the services they need after they are released from prison. The most commonly reported reentry needs were more education, general financial assistance, a driver's license, job training, and employment.
Nearly three-quarters of the SVORI group reported needing transportation assistance and better money-management skills. More than half said they needed some of the most basic and immediate needs—food, clothing, and a place to live—along with basic identification (birth certificate, Social Security card, and photo ID card) and financial assistance. Those who had minor children also reported a need for parenting classes and child care, help with child support payments, and help resolving custody issues.
When asked what health services they needed upon release, three-quarters identified health care insurance and more than half identified medical treatment. It is important to keep in mind that many reported needs are intertwined. For example, when a former prisoner applies for medical insurance or treatment, he is also likely to need identification and possibly transportation.
The majority of the SVORI group seemed to recognize some aspect of their own behavior that they need to change to improve their lives after they are released. Almost two-thirds reported needing to work on their personal relationships, and more than half said they needed a mentor and spiritual or religious assistance. One-third reported needing anger management training.
Over the next 2 years, additional findings will be released. These will be based on interviews with the SVORI group and the comparison group at 3 months, 9 months, and 15 months postrelease. The interviews will include drug testing at the 3- and 15-month marks, which will offer critical data not only on postrelease drug use, but also on the consistency of self-reported information. Additional analyses will examine recidivism and other outcomes at 12 and 24 months postrelease.
SVORI funding supports a three-phase service continuum that focuses on reentry preparation: (1) just prior to release from prison, (2) during the first few months postrelease, and (3) for several years postrelease as participants take on more productive and independent roles in the community. There are 89 adult and juvenile SVORI programs, which offer such services as life-skills training, dental and medical services, needs and risk assessments, treatment and release plans, and job placement.
The following charts, based on a survey of SVORI program directors in 2005, show the percentage of adult SVORI participants that received particular types of services in prison (prerelease) and after they were released.
[note 1]SVORI is funded by the U.S. Departments of Justice, Labor, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services.
[note 2]The evaluation also includes interviews with adult female prisoners and juvenile males. This article, however, discusses only the adult males in this study.
[note 3]Although this article presents statistics for the SVORI group only, responses from the comparison group were similar in terms of demographics and types of services needed.

Traces of Antianxiety Drug in Rivers Alter Way Fish Act
BOSTON—A common antianxiety drug, which ends up in rivers and streams in trace amounts, alters how fish behave, Swedish scientists reported Thursday.
Laboratory tests with wild perch show that a widely prescribed medication called oxazepam makes the fish more mellow but also more antisocial and vulnerable to predators, the researchers said.
Typically, all kinds of drugs get into the water supply when people flush unneeded medication down toilets or pass trace amounts in urine.
The researchers' work, published in the journal Science, highlights the "previously underappreciated effects" of psychiatric medications in wastewater on aquatic life.
"Normally, perch are shy and hunt in schools, but those who swim in oxazepam became considerably bolder," said ecologist Tomas Brodin of Sweden's Umea University. He presented his team's findings here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Marketed under a variety of trade names, oxazepam belongs to a class of compounds widely used since the 1960s to treat panic attacks, anxiety and insomnia.
In recent years, U.S. researchers have found residues of more than 100 pharmaceutical drugs in drinking-water supplies, including antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids.
A systematic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey found very low levels of pharmaceuticals—typically measured in parts per billion or trillion—in 80% of the rivers and streams they sampled. So far, federal regulators have found no evidence of harm to humans.
The new research, however, suggests that tiny amounts of the mood medication—well below levels that might be of any concern to human health—can affect wildlife behavior.
In their university-funded study, Dr. Brodin and his colleagues first tested wild European perch caught from a midsize stream in Sweden called the River Fyris and found that levels of the drug in fish tissue were more than six times the level commonly detected in the water.
To test its effect, they raised young perch in laboratory tanks with water containing varying low levels of oxazepam.
In the lab, the fish raised in water with traces of the drug distanced themselves from other perch, became less fearful, and acted more adventurously, willing to leave safe refuges, the scientists said.
The fish also ate more quickly, which might change how they survive in the wild.
"When we use pharmaceuticals, they don't mysteriously go away," said Jerker Fick, a co-author of the study. "This is a global issue."

Electromach provides safeguarding and control panels for 14 centrifugal pumps
For a major project in Russia, Electromach supplied the safeguarding and control panels for 14 barrel type centrifugal pumps. As the project will be realised in Russia, the GOST certification is applicable on all panels.
The centrigugal pumps are all electromotor driven and are located in 5 different locations. For the safeguarding and controlling of the pump, several electrical systems are necessary:
- 2x Low Voltage Motor Control Centre
- 5x Unit Control Panel
- 12x Local Control Panel
Low Voltage Motor Control Centre (MCC)
The Low Voltage MCC's are designed for operation in the safe area (non-ex) and are executed as intelligent SIVACON S8 systems from Siemens. These systems are tailor made by using withdrawable sleds for each motor group, e.g. for the lube oil pumps.
The advantage for this design means that the sleds can be replaced without turning off the system. It is also possible to build a modular system.
By means of a redundant ProfiBus connection, both MCC's are connected to the central processing unit (CPU), which is mounted inside the Unit Control Panel.
Unit Control Panel (UCP)
5 Unit Control Panels have been delivered for use in the safe area (non-Ex). They are all executed as Rittal TS8 cabinets.
The first UCP houses the Central Processing Unit, in which the safeguarding and controlling of all 14 pumps has been programmed. It is executed as a redundant Controllogix PLC from Rockwell. The software has been developed by Electromach based on an amount of documents and close cooperation with the customer, to secure a functional operation.
For this project a Human Machine Interface (HMI) was requested. All available information will be communicated with the local DCS system for further process. This UCP is also responsible for the communication between the field instruments, Machine Monitoring Systems, both the MCCs and the customers DCS.
For the two smallest pumps, the analogue and digital in- and outputs are also incorporated into this UCP.
The remaining 4 Unit Control Panels each house the in- and output racks for the other 12 pumps.
Each UCP is fitted with a dedicated Machine Monitoring System per pump, which safeguards the temperature, vibration and axial displacement of every single pump.
Local Control Panel
For 12 pumps, a Local Control Panel has been supplied to start and stop the pump and its auxiliaries (e.g. Lube Oil Pump). It also visualizes the current status of the pump and its auxiliaries.
Each panel is executed as an Ex-d enclosure mounted on a frame, suitable for use in the hazardous area zone 1 and gas grou IIB, temperature class T3.
The frame will be integrated into the pump skid which houses the pumps, E-motor, gearbox and Lube Oil System.
Installing and acceptance on site
After delivery, the panels will be mounted on the skid by the customer. After arriving and installing the skid on site, Electromach will accompany the final acceptance process.
The challenge and strength of this project was to integrate all systems with one another and supply them together. It allowed the customer to have one partner for a substantial amount of the control equipment and therefore no necessity to communicate with different parties on relevant details. Subsequently they choose Electromach.
If you have any questions, please contact us.

Ray J: Shut Up About Your Sex Life With Kim Kardashian After Your Girlfriend Whitney Houston Died!
There's nothing worse than a guy who kisses and tells. But to do it in a book that came out three days after your girlfriend Whitney Houston died is just the lowest of the low.
Ray J, you are an A+ creep. Did you and your book publisher move up the release day of your new book, Death of the Cheating Man: What Every Women Must Know About Men Who Stray, so that it came out three days after your most recent girlfriend, Whitney Houston, died?
It sure seems horribly coincidental. And you also seem to be completely taking advantage of the extra notoriety that your ex Kim Kardashian has had since her marriage busted up after 72 days.
Your book goes into lots of racy details about the "wild and freaky" sex you had with Kim. You just felt compelled to reveal that Kim gave you panty fashion shows before going out, that she had a "special way of waking you up" in the morning, that she "hypnotized" you sexually, that you were "animals," etc.
This is all supposedly in the name of warning women about men who will cheat.
Are you really trying to make us women believe that you are trying to help us, with your racy revelations about Kim? Seriously? I don't think so!
Ray J — you are the same guy who just doesn't know how your sex tape with Kim Kardashian just happened to get leaked…. yah, right?
You are every woman's worst nightmare. And no matter what Kim did or didn't do in her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries, she didn't deserve this.
Ray J — you have disrespected Kim. Disrespected Whitney Houston. In fact, you've disrespected the whole female sex.
Do us all a favor and just disappear!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Tell me now and VOTE!

text: This book provides new insight about whether the Germans could have produced an atomic weapon of their own during World War II, given their initial technical advantage. During the first few months of Allied occupation in Europe, ten German scientists were detained at Farm Hall in Cambridge, England. Otto Hahn, Max von Laue, Erich Bagge, Kurt Diebner, Walther Gerlach, Paul Harteck, Werner Heisenberg, Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker, Horst Korsching, and Karl Wirtz were secretly observed and recorded by British intelligence during that period. The author compiled the declassified transcript of that surveillance, adding annotations to make the information more comprehensible to the layman. Within those reports are the reactions of the scientists to the atomic attacks on Japan in August 1945. The material is put within its historical context through a chronology, a description of events in the months prior to the taping, biographical sketches, and an epilogue about events following the internment.

Discover Maori sacred rituals at Hamilton Gardens
Renowned as a site of sacred rituals, the Te Parapara Garden is New Zealand's first traditional Maori garden.
1 / 6
Renowned as a site of sacred rituals, the Te Parapara Garden at Hamilton Gardens is an oustanding example of pre-European life alongside Waikato River.
Before Europeans arrived the riverbanks throughout central Waikato were lined with many Maori gardens and the Te Parapara Garden site was at one time home to Haanui, a famous Ngati Wairere chief, and was particularly renowned as a site of sacred rituals associated with the harvesting of food crops.
The Te Parapara Garden project is a joint project between Nga Mana Toopu and Hamilton City Council. It extends beyond a physical development to include records of traditional knowledge, interpretive material and ceremonies all focused on the heritage and tikanga associated with the local area.
Te Parapara was originally the name of the pre-European Maori settlement in what is now the centre of Hamilton Gardens.
Te Parapara displays plants that can be used as resources as well as plants of cultural significance. The plant displays are set within a design that refers to traditional built structures as well as to the cultural aspects of gardening. The garden tells the story of the establishment of cultivated food crops in the Waikato, from the landing of the Tainui waka to the era of the expansive plantations that were described in the 1840s by European visitors. It shows how the first Polynesian arrivals to Aotearoa used the plants they found growing wild and it demonstrates the new techniques they developed for growing tropical crops in a sub-tropical climate. The garden also shows the cultural context that integrated and regulated the agronomic life of pre-European Waikato/Ngati Wairere society.
Te Parapara is divided into two realms. Te Ara Whakatauki (the path of proverbs), which lies between the Piazza and the waharoa (gateway) is the realm of the uncultivated food from the forest and grassland. The ruler of this realm is Haumia- tiketike, deity of wild food plants. Te Taupa (the garden), beyond the Waharoa, is the realm of cultivated food, ruled by Rongomatane, deity of the kumara and all cultivated food plants.
Hamilton Gardens
Hamilton Gardens is a conceptual garden based in the Waikato that explores the context, history and meaning of gardens through time, and from around the world. It is internationally recognised for its unique concept and is the Waikato region's most popular tourist destination.
Only five minutes drive from Hamilton's CBD, the Gardens is open 7 days a week during daylight hours and entry and parking is free. Access is off SH1, alongside Cobham Drive on the southern side of Hamilton. Mobility scooters, wheelchairs and pushchairs are available to hire and guided tours are available.

Columbus Skyline Panoramic Picture, Oh
$ 99.00
$ 119.00
This panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures a twilight view of downtown Columbus, with the lights of the city reflecting off the Scioto River. On the far left, the two tallest skyscrapers are One Nationwide Plaza and Three Nationwide Plaza, part of the larger multi-building complex known as Nationwide Plaza. To their right is William Green Building, with its pyramid-shaped roof. The large building in the center foreground is the 31-floor AEP Building. Continuing right and nestled among the existing skyscrapers is LeVeque Tower. It was the tallest building in Columbus from 1927 until 1974. Columbus was founded in 1812 and is the capital and largest city in Ohio.
