Inuyasha. I love it, since I've kind of grown up with it and all, but my friend doesn't. He really gave me a hard time today when he saw me get an Inuyasha pillow from the local fair. He's quite convinced that it's like DBZ, but aimed towards girls. Though honestly, the show's not that bad.

Finally came across one that I can somewhat list as an answer to the topic question. Happened while I was marathoning some older series that I missed. I crossed by one called Shigurui that I discovered through a very negative review and I decided to give it a shot just to see how bad it was as I don't think I've come across anyone that's actually praised it either yet (outside of one other review that I quite recently read after finishing it). I wouldn't say I loved it (far from it actually as there were quite a few notable flaws in it) but to my surprise I actually rather enjoyed it for what it was, especially the second half. First half was rather slow and for that reason it's not an easy series to jump into nor is it very appealing to those with a weak stomach because it gets very grotesque at times.

While everyone was pissing themselves over Gundam 00, I was watching Tytania. A far superior show in my opinion. Gundam 00 was the same Gundam drek Sunrise has been turning out since Wing.
Oh, and every Gundam fan I know hates Turn A Gundam. It's one o the best, in my opinion. Finally, a character driven Gundam show where the war isn't senseless.

Anyway seeing as how what you replied with wasn't at all what the topic was asking for (where did you get anime you hate that other people like and you are butthurt over as a result?) I'll now offer Moetan as an anime that I like but everyone else hates. It's just a stupid little loli fanservice show that for some reason had everybody all in an uproar, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and found it kind of funny in just how shameless it was. Needless is kind of the successor to it in a way.

Hmmm, I'll have to also agree with Yugioh...Original Yugi (even the 4crap dub) if you garbage-pail all the kiddy-friendship stuff there are loads of cool episodes and strategically smart duels...Especially the "Team A" episodes which are visually superb...The final season of the show was borderline brilliant IMO with how the duels reverted back to the ancient Egyptian game, and the final boss (Dark Bakura) is a cooler villain than I've seen in many super-serious anime...If you get past the perception of it being kid-stuff it's really damn good overall...My guilty admission is that I actually enjoy the dub music more than the sub for most duels as it's high energy in the dub, but more plotting and tonal in the sub...Kaiba's theme song used to rock! ^0^...
I'm also watching the current Yugioh 5d's....For what it's worth it's awesome too, but unlike Original Yugioh it's instant gratification with no duel ever lasting past 2 eps...It's more hardcore too with less friend stuff...LOL I'm sure many hate it^^...Unfortunately I never watched the 2nd Yugi series as it seemed lame as hell with all that duel academy crap, so I don't mind who hates that one...Yugioh season 0 (The prequel series) is the sickest of them all as that $hit was never meant to be seen by children with all that violence...But many people just hate on this franchise because they're little brother has duel cards stuck in the sides of the sofa...It doesn't deserve the hate...

PoKeMon. I adore PoKeMoN but everyone else seems sick of it. Personally, I am sick of it too but I'm still a major fan of the Kanto/Johto region series. Also, I read the manga often with much enthusiasim.
I take pleasure in watching Beyblade, Bakugan, YGO! and Tenchi Muyo. People think Beyblade/Bakugan/YGO is childish while Tenchi Muyo is sexist and perverted. However, it doesn't phase me. I still enjoy each individual show and see it in my own way even if I do understand their views. At the end of the day, they can't change my mind and stop me being a fan just because they happen not to like/agree with it.

Fresh off its best season, the Warwick girls' hockey team is already upping the ante in 2013. The Lady Titans started the new season with a bang this weekend, cruising past Lincoln/Cumberland 10-0 in Friday's season opener then making history with the program's first-ever victory over La Salle, a resounding 6-0 win on Saturday night.
Warwick had no trouble with the Lincoln/Cumberland co-op team in the opener, getting a shutout from Erin Vermilye and out-shooting the Lions 38-8. Caroline Henn had two goals, Alyssa Mathews delivered a goal and two assists, Madison Balutowski had a goal and an assist and Natasha Savage dished out three assists. The Titans got one goal each from Jaime Given, Kelsey Holmes, Savannah Hersey, Abigail Given, Marianna Brawn and Victoria LaFazia. Vermilye made eight saves, including a stop on a breakaway to preserve the shutout.
But the blowout win proved to be just an appetizer thanks to Saturday's results.
La Salle has won the last two state championships and was the only team in the state that Warwick had not beaten in its seven-year history. The monkey came off the back in a big way thanks to a big push by the team's veterans and a dominant performance in net by freshman Gabriella Dicomitis. Balutowski, one of the team's leading scorers last year, tallied a hat trick and added two assists. Abby Ellis chipped in two goals and an assist, while Holmes had a goal and one assist. Jaime Given, Savage and Hersey had the other assists.
Making her high school hockey debut, Dicomitis made 27 saves in shutting out the Rams. It's the first time La Salle has been shut-out since the 2010-11 season.
Warwick will have another chance to make a statement with a doubleheader this weekend. On Friday, the Titans host Burrillville/Ponaganset at Thayer Arena at 6:30 p.m.. The Broncos won their opener 9-2 over Lincoln/Cumberland. On Saturday, Warwick plays Bay View at 4:30 p.m., at Levy Rink in Burrillville. The Bengals beat Mount St. Charles 7-3 in their season opener.
The Lady Titans look VG. Its a very young season but it looks to me they have a good shot at State Champions this year.

What Do You Do Behind the Wheel? [AUDIO]
It's no secret that texting and talking while driving is dangerous, but a new Plymouth Rock Assurance survey finds that many drivers in New Jersey admit to shaving, applying makeup and brushing or combing their hair while behind the wheel.
Twelve percent of those polled admit that they have tried to drive while doing personal grooming, 27 percent programmed a personal navigation system, five percent said they have browsed the Internet, while two percent said they have read the newspaper.
"At the same time, more and more drivers are getting frustrated with those who are distracted. Nearly fifty percent of the passengers we polled said that they have taken the step to ask a driver to stop texting or taking part in other distracting behavior while driving," said Valerie Simon, spokeswoman for Plymouth Rock Assurance.
"It's pretty clear that there is a groundswell of people here in New Jersey who are fed up with people not paying attention to the road."
According to the survey, nine percent admitted that they have driven under the influence of alcohol and listened to music wearing headphones.
"It's no secret that life gets busy and people get distracted, but people need to realize that that single, momentary lapse in focus can have dire consequences," said Simon.
Other findings from the survey:
- Younger drivers, ages 17 to 44, appear to text more than three times as much as older drivers, make calls without a hands-free device, and program GPS units more frequently.
- 73 percent of drivers say they send or read texts while their cars are idling at a traffic light or signal.
- Twice as many younger drivers, 34 to 17 percent, say they have sent or read texts while driving.
- Older drivers are more likely to park in a safe location before sending a text message.

Now that eBay has set a tentative timetable for spinning off Skype, the question becomes whether the Internet phone company can become a legitimate force as a voice service provider.
Some analysts say that Skype has been somewhat stifled while it has been a part of eBay because its business model hasn't gelled well with eBay's online auction business. Indeed, eBay CEO John Donahoe acknowledged as much last week when he said that Skype was "a great stand-alone business" but that it had "limited synergies" with eBay.
But despite these limitations, Skype has still been remarkably successful over the past few years, as the company's number of registered users worldwide has grown by nearly eight-fold since being purchased by eBay in 2008. Additionally, the its revenues are projected to nearly double over the next two years, reaching an estimated US$1 billion in 2011.
Gartner analyst Elroy Jopling says that once Skype is officially spun off next year, it will be free to concentrate exclusively on its voice business and to expand its services more toward the mobile area. The company has started moving in this direction this year and unveiled applications for iPhones and BlackBerry devices that are aimed at giving smartphone users alternatives to making voice calls over traditional cellular networks. Moving forward, Jopling thinks that how well Skype penetrates the mobile market will be the "biggest factor" in its potential success.
Irwin Lazar, an analyst at Nemertes Research, also thinks that Skype's success in the mobile voice market will determine its future and says that its addition to the smartphone market is the first step in making the company a household name. More significantly, he thinks that if Skype catches on with more popular consumer devices it could eventually put pressure on cellular carriers to change how they do business.
Although Skype iPhone applications only run over Wi-Fi, Lazar thinks that Skype will likely start running more over carriers' data networks once they start building more 4G networks based on technologies as Long Term Evolution and WiMAX.
"Skype's iPhone client was really the first shot across the bow of cellular carriers," he says. "As they build out higher speed data networks it becomes easier to do voice over data services."
This could spell trouble for carriers, Lazar explains, because they will inevitably lose revenue if users simply subscribe to flat-rate data plans and then use Skype exclusively for their voice services. Should Skype succeed in becoming a widely used VoIP technology that rides on top of carriers' data networks, Lazar thinks they have a few options to preserve their revenue streams: they can block Skype outright on their data services, they can implement their own metered data plans that charge per bit consumed or they can offer their own flat-rate VoIP service that is priced competitively with Skype's service.

Stocks climb in early trading on Wall Street
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock rose in early trading Friday, recouping some of their losses after a weak start to 2014 the day before.
The stock market started the New Year with a thud on Thursday, declining on the year's first day of trading for the first time since 2008.
Trading has been quiet this week before and after the New Year's Day holiday on Wednesday.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose four points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,836 as of 10:07 a.m. (1507 GMT). The Dow Jones industrial average gained 55 points, or 0.2 percent, to 16,478. The Nasdaq composite rose two points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,146.
BIG STORM: Trading was likely to be muted Friday after a winter storm hit the Northeast. The governors of New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency and urged people to avoid travelling.
SLOW EURO-GOING: The European Central Bank says that loans to companies slipped by 3.1 percent in November from a year earlier. Europe's economic recovery has been slow, and sluggish lending suggests that confidence remains poor. Still, Spain reported Friday that the number of people registered as unemployed fell by 107,570 in December, the biggest drop on record for the month and welcome news for an economy rattled by a two-year recession.
TREASURYS AND COMMODITIES: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed to 3 percent from 2.99 percent on Thursday. The price of oil dropped 22 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $95.21 a barrel.
NO JOY: Joy Global, a manufacturer of mining equipment, fell $1.09, or 2 percent, to $55.13, after analysts at Goldman Sachs recommended their clients sell the stock amid a weaker outlook for the mining industry.

Kocaman Happy With Team's Ambition & Desire to WinNews • Author: Mehmet Pozam • Thursday, July 22, 2010
Fenerbahçe manager Aykut Kocaman spoke to reporters, following his team's 1-0 win over Galatasaray on Wednesday night. Kocaman stated that despite losing one man on the field, he was delighted to see his players' ambition and desire to win. "It would have been better for us to finish 11-against-11. However, our performance in the second half was terrific, especially when we were under pressure," stated the Yellow Canaries coach.
Fenerbahçe completed their pre-season camp in Europe on a high note, finishing off with a derby victory over archrivals Galatasaray in Germany. After Wednesday night's final whistle, Yellow Canaries boss Aykut Kocaman spoke to reporters at the Borussia Park Stadium and commented on his team's win.
"It was an opportunity to see our final shape, prior to the start of the season," said Aykut Kocaman, as he began his words. "However, the game didn't go quite as we thought. These types of friendlies are important and playing against Galatasaray was a good test for us," he continued.
"If I'm not mistaken, up until the 14th minute, the referee had pulled out three or four yellow cards and one red card. I don't see why there would be so many bookings in an exhibition game where sides are testing their squads. Of course after the red card, the balance of the game collapsed," explained Aykut Kocaman. "Nowadays in football, especially when you play between top flight teams, you can lose control of the game even when a few players run short - let alone if your player is sent off," he added.
"In that sense, it was a difficult match for us, as we weren't able to test our squad properly," commented the Fenerbahçe manager. "Despite playing a man down, we played well in the first half, not letting our opponent dominate us. We took the lead when we were a man down," said Kocaman. "In the second half, Galatasaray added on the pressure. We lost ball possession, so we tried to protect our lead," he explained.
"The good thing about tonight's match was that our ambition and desire to win was of a top level. It would have been better for us to finish 11-against-11. However, our performance in the second half when we were under pressure was terrific. Especially after that FC Köln defeat, it's pleasing to see that our confidence is back and that we won the game," commented Aykut Kocaman. "I hope we can carry on with this level of performance and add on to that, prior to our game against Young Boys," he added.
Speaking on Selçuk's red card position where he 'supposedly' tripped the referee, Aykut Kocaman stated, "I spoke with Selçuk. He says the referee got caught on his foot. Selçuk isn't the kind of person that would do that sort of thing anyways."
"Playing against Galatasaray with ten men is not an easy task, but we were able to win. Many of our first-team players haven't been with us at the pre-season training camp, due to injuries or national team obligations, however if we manage to get through the next month with the least amount of problems, then we will easily become a well organized team that shows a better performance," commented the Yellow Canaries coach.

Anyways, glad we won in the end! :) Hep destek tam destek!
In order to have more chance it has been proposed to play the next game Fenerbahce against Galatasaray in Antartica. But the football federation of Antartica refused this proposal, since football games whose outcomes are already known are not allowed in Antartica.
When consulted, Paul the Octopus to predict Galatasaray- Fenerbahce game, he immediately hid himself -because he tought , "why do ask me? The result is already known = of course Fenerbahce, as always -. Maybe they want to make me old age pensioner , then make a salad out of me"
(I hope You understand my englisch):-)

Feliks Bruks
Born: July 11, 1918
Czarnkow, Poland
Feliks was the only child of Catholic parents living in Czarnkow, a town close to the German border, some 40 miles north of Poznan. Czarnkow was situated on the Notec River. Feliks' parents owned a mineral water, soda and beer factory. They delivered their goods by horse and wagon to towns throughout the area. His parents also owned a restaurant and 120 acres of farmland.
1933-39: In 1937 I entered the University of Poznan to study pharmacy. My education was cut short when the German army invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Part of civil defense forces on the border, I fell back with the Polish army towards Warsaw to fight the Wehrmacht. In late September, I was one of thousands of soldiers captured and held in a field by the German army. After three days, I escaped and returned to Czarnkow via Poznan.
1940-45: Arrested in 1943 for working in the underground, I was sentenced to hard labor and deported to Gross-Rosen. I survived a grueling month in "quarantine," where 400 men in our barracks died. I got pneumonia and had to go to the infirmary. Of the camp's five infirmaries, two were "safe;" there was a chance of recovering and returning to a work detail. Being in any of the other three almost inevitably meant death. A connection helped me get into a "safe" infirmary. When I recovered, I became an orderly there.
Feliks was one of 2,400 survivors of a six-day, open-car transport of 5,500 prisoners to Austria in February 1945. Liberated in May, he immigrated to the United States in 1951.

Note: Most symptoms are seen with older window cleaners containing the toxic ingredients listed above.
- Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Loss of vision
- Severe pain in the throat
- Severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips, or tongue
- Gastrointestinal
Blood in the stool

Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patients age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strength, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Breathing tube
- Bronchoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the airways and lungs
- Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids by IV
- Oxygen
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (
gastric lavage)
- Washing of the skin (irrigation) -- perhaps every few hours for several days
Expectations (prognosis)
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.

Not quite sure this is the right section for this (and it's my own forum! dang!) but anyway - I just saw an eBay listing that may interest people who are looking to stock up on bento boxes. It's a lot of 12 (12!) bento boxes, including many favorites like Lube Sheep, Totoro, etc. I guess they must be used...but hey...12 boxes! And the current bid is only 99 cents! She only ships to the U.S. she says...but it doesn't hurt to ask if she will ship elsewhere I guess? Good luck if you decide to bid on it!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Uh..the bidding is now up to $122. So...yeah. (personally I don't think I'd pay that much...she has a mix of cheaper (e.g. Lube Sheep) and more expensive stuff, you could probably mix up your own and get a similar price for brand new.)
Zojirushi lunch jar available on ebay.com.au:
It's hard to buy Zojirushi jars in Australia. There's a "Classic" jar available now (brand new in box, Japanese model).
Super try, though, Maki! She certainly started the bids at an appealing level!
I've been sorting through a number of items lately, and girding my loins so to speak to pay another {choke} significant chunk of the household budget for some sugi and urushi boxes.... the ones I've been viewing are too beautiful to leave out there in some warehouse! they must be liberated to the kind and caring environs of Our House. Besides,who knows how long such things may continue to be available, so "if not now, when?" :-)
so, perhaps this forum's not a bad spot to remind us where you might recommend we review items like this... ? thanks and best wishes, and are you to be liberated any time soon? [there, a bunch of off topic, to loosen the conversation. ~;-> ]
Product reviews are a great idea! I'll make a section for this asap.
I've been let out of the hospital now, thanks for asking! ^_^ More or less leading a normal life now, though I still have a huge gash in my back >.<
Yes, and you worried us all rather terribly with that little escapade of yours! Next time you want a holiday, have The Guy drive you out to the country for a nice stroll! ;-D
Very sincerely hoping you'll heal speedily now, but be gentle with yourself and no rushing around, OK?
Product review section -- thanks! Also, was wondering if the online/offline shop recommendations are up to date? AND [truly off-topic] any chance of a source for some of the glorious shin-mai your Mom finds in Japan? Sigh, we'd probably have to write to the farmer eh, then find out he can't export or some nonsense like that. ?
Everyone, please start asking loads of fussy questions like this, to keep Maki resting quietly at her keyboard. ;->

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Can a woman lead a congregational prayer?
Can a woman lead a congregational prayers with men present in the congregation? This question has been raised by some Muslims and many feminists. Although, the question sounds like a call for women's rights, freedom of speech and equality, this call, like everything else, must be analyzed from the Quranic perspective.
Before addressing this issue we must state that the Quran considers women and men equal in belief and in any undertaking in life. The Quran even gives the example of a righteous submitting woman as a leader of a nation (Queen of Sheba). The Quran dictates mutual agreement in both marriage and divorce while most of the so-called Muslims deny those rights. There is no verses in the Quran that denies a woman any kind of social or spiritual right.
God Responds [3:195] Their Lord responded to them: "I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female - you are equal to one another....
Guaranteed Happiness Now and Forever [16:97] Anyone who works righteousness, male or female, while believing, we will surely grant them a happy life in this world, and we will surely pay them their full recompense (on the Day of Judgment) for their righteous works.
It is important to note that having a woman leading our congregational or group prayer with men present is not a call for equality. It is a call for innovation. The truth of the matter is that our practices are inherited and came down to us by universal acceptance since the time of Abraham. Quran teaches us that (3:95; 4:125; 6:161; 12:37-38; 16:123; 21:73; 22:78).
God is the one who mandated the contact prayers (Salah) and specified rituals of individual and congregational prayers (Salah). Like all of our religious practices, the method of performance of Salah has come to us generation to generation from the time of Abraham with the Quran only correcting the corrupted rituals. Ablution and the prayer tone are the examples (5:6, 17:110).
In the act of congregational prayers with both sexes, a man has to lead the congregational prayer. This has been mandated from the time of Abraham with no change. Any change now will be an innovation. A women leading a group or congregational prayer, is a detail that is not mentioned in the Quran, similar to the absence of details concerning rituals of our religious practices. A woman leading a congregational prayer with men present would be a "religious" innovation that contradicts God's system that was inherited and fully preserved since Abraham. The Quran strongly condemns innovation (6:138-140, 7:53, 7:71, 12:40, 16:56, 46:28).
As believers in in the Quran, we should know that our actions are either righteous or not righteous based on the standards set for us by God. The only valid scale to measure our righteousness is given to us by God through His commands in the Quran. Once God and His teachings are no longer the ultimate reference, we start living the illusion of Satan who makes us think that we are righteous. Submitters and believers in the Quran should always be aware of the false righteousness.
It is God who specifies the valid code and the terms for the equality between the believing men and women. Those terms are fully detailed in the Quran. Not only the suggestion of a woman leading our group or congregational prayer, with men present, is an innovation, but also is an invalid call for equality. It is no more than personal opinion and conjecture.
Examine Yourself
[18:103] Say, "Shall I tell you who the worst losers are?
[18:104] "They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray, but they think that they are doing good."
[35:8] Note the one whose evil work is adorned in his eyes, until he thinks that it is righteous. GOD thus sends astray whoever wills (to go astray), and He guides whoever wills (to be guided). Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
[30:29] Indeed, the transgressors have followed their own opinions, without knowledge. Who then can guide those who have been sent astray by GOD? No one can ever help them.
[38:26] O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.

Locus 20th & 21st Centuries Poll
I'll post my choices after the jump here.
Because I did the poll at the last minute, the choices were as much impulsive as rational. I'm not much interested in differentiating science fiction and fantasy, so I paid only the barest attention to categorization. For lengths, I used the lists Locus posted or what I could find on ISFDB, and for the few items not on either, I just relied on my own memory and guessing.
Were I to write the lists now, or tomorrow, or next week, they would be different, both in content and order. Such is the nature of these things. Only a few items are absolute for me (e.g., Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is the best science fiction novel ever written). Many of the choices are there not because I think they are Eternally & Canonically Important (though many are) but because they remain vivid and powerful reading experiences for me. Also, some things didn't make it on because I would need to reread them to decide — for instance, I couldn't pick one of the novellas from Le Guin's Four Ways to Forgiveness, because though I'm fairly sure one of them belongs on the list, I haven't read the book recently enough to decide between them. M. John Harrison's Viriconium probably belongs on there, too, but I couldn't decide on one of the books in particular, wasn't sure if the big collection would count as a single novel, and in any case had The Course of the Heart on there already (it's another absolute for me — no list of best 20th century fantasy novels is complete without it). And then there are things that probably belong on such a list, but I've never read them, such as Gormenghast. And then there are the obvious items I forgot and will be chastising myself for tomorrow.
I know of lists from a few other folks: Niall Harrison, Cheryl Morgan, Ian Sales. Once Locus publishes the results from the poll, I'll put a link here.
Finally, I am perfectly aware that I will be the only person voting for quite a few of these.
(Note: Because I cut-and-pasted these into the Locus poll form, I deliberately removed diacritical marks and any other punctuation that might mess up the tally. And I'm being lazy here and just pasting my master list in.)

Firstly, the supposed teaching method they so blatantly post on their website is no teaching method at all. They give you some textbooks (nothing more than simple vocabulary basically) and you´ve got to repeat everything in the mediocre book! They said to me when I arrived that the most important thing is that I get the student´s signature for attendance of class in order to collect the money. As far as teaching method is concerned the student basically doesn´t acquire much as far as learning a new language is concerned. Great for IC! They get the student to register once more! Then there is the supposedly high pay a teacher acquires from this institute. Nothing more than a lie, they still owe me money (and a bunch of others as well), not only me but also the government of Chile. The 10% they ´pay´ in taxes for every teacher from their salary is never declared to the government. Where do you think it goes?? right in the owner´s pocket, so forget about your tax return. Another issue that has happened is that they overcharged a big government owned copper mine in this country (You know which one, starts with a C) by charging them for students that didn´t even exist! I know this is a fact. Anyway, that´s my two cents regarding this institute, I would advice any teacher coming to Chile to seriously consider working for these scam artists as they are creating a bad name for themselves amongst big corporations in this country.

Etihad in India to strengthen partnership ties
An Etihad Airways delegation, led by Etihad Chief Executive, James Hogan, arrived in New Delhi, India, to meet with key civil aviation officials and trade partners in the nation's capital.
Mr Hogan met with the Indian Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Vyalar Ravi and other authorities in the capital to discuss growth opportunities in the Indian aviation market.
Mr Hogan said: "India is a cornerstone market and the largest market we serve, with eight destinations. The scope of our Indian operation today reflects the historic ties between the UAE and India, and is also indicative of the great potential for the region and our confidence in its future growth.
"We see enormous opportunity to expand and diversify our services in light of the unique mix of traffic and both countries' growing position as world-class business and holiday destinations.
"We appreciate the support of the Indian government and our positive partnership with Indian civil aviation authorities, without whose support this growth would not be possible. We look forward to continued cooperation."
The airline will host a cocktail reception for trade partners and corporate guests at the Imperial Hotel. The event will also be attended by renowned Bollywood actress and Etihad Brand ambassador, Katrina Kaif, who is in town to launch the airline's "Next Stop Bollywood" online dance competition.
During the visit, the airline also announced the extension of its luxury chauffeur services in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, enhancing the travel experience for premium passengers on the ground.
With the addition of the airline's newly launched operations to Bangalore, Etihad now flies to eight Indian destinations including New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad and Kochi, with 49 flights to India per week.

D3: Key Farming and Ubers
I have gone key farming a couple of times with Bearness to go along with my many act 1 runs (which netted me a total of three act 1 keys). I had at least one of each which meant that I had enough to make an infernal machine to face the uber bosses.
We went in to act 4 and killed the key warden there who actually dropped the plan...WOOHOO.
Bearness found a wizard to do the ubers with and off we went. I am easily the least geared of the three of us. I do "ok" dps, but my survivability is a step lower for sure. The wizard was insanely geared. He was super happy to get a witching hour belt for 100 million. I have never had more than 14 million.
So, we started out on Magdha and Skeleton King.....and I died at least twice. I think that the biggest problem was Magdha and he stupid ass butterfly attack. I did not happen to get an organ on this fight.
Next we did Raknaroth and Ghom. We wiped once on this where I died about 25 percent through. The wizard died as well because he was watching a stream and trying to win some item. Bearness almost took it down, but died in gas trying to rez us.
We took it down easily the next time and I picked up the fang organ. 1/3 of the way to a hellfire ring. WOOHOO.
Lastly, we faced Zoltun Kulle and Siege Breaker which seamed to be pretty easy. Kulle had an annoying time bubble, but otherwise seemed mostly straight forward.
We did this on MP4, and they could have done MP7 with me laying dead on the floor most likely. It just sucks dying all the time. Unfortunately, I feel like I am at a point where the upgrades I need are way out of my budget. I am however looking forward to possibly doing the ubers a few more times and getting my first hellfire ring.

Hey man, I thought I'd leave a comment for once after reading your blog for some time. I really appreciate that you are talking about Diablo 3 these days. I was very dissapointed when people discounted this game. Maybe it helps that I never played Diablo 1 or 2. But with patch 1.0.5, the game has gone from good to great for me. Guild Wars 2 has taken a back seat.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you for Diablo gold. The most expensive item I have only cost 4 million, but my damage is up to about 67,000 with my with doctor, so I'm enjoying MP 4 at least. I feel ya about the Paragon levels, but I try not to let it get me down. I don't play to grind levels, so when I do level up, it's a pleasant surprise. I generally switch back and forth between With Doctor and Wizard, sharing gear between them. Anway, keep slaying demons...for justice.!

Keep farming and selling guys! Good drops will come eventually. Sometimes you might even get an upgrade (I'm still using 2-3 gears I've found)! I felt like I'd never be able to afford one of those items, until I got lucky with some drops. Then, BOOM, everything changed. Of course, once I spent the gold, everything is unaffordable again. LOL.
Anyway, it's just a game. Being able to farm MP1 or MP10, it doesn't matter as long as you're having fun. =)

Wayland Inducts Charter Class into Honor Society
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University recently inducted its charter members into the school's chapter of the Lambda Pi Eta honor society for communications students.
Membership in the society is a way to recognize those students who carry at least a 3.0 grade point average, have taken at least six hours of speech classes and maintain involvement in speech activities.
"We modeled our constitution after other organizations on campus," said Virginia Myers, associate professor of speech communications, who serves as the group's sponsor.
Myers said in order to receive the charter, the university had to meet the standards of the National Communications Association honor society, then the Department of Communications had to meet the criteria set forth by the university.
Myers said the group is in the process of adopting a service project.
"We have had several ideas for projects that would be appropriate for a communications organization," she said. "We are looking at organizations in town or the school system that we could do service projects for that are related to, or an extension of, something in communications. We have talked about mentoring or tutoring or things like that."
Myers said the main focus in the group's early stages, however, is to simply grow as an organization.
Charter members are: Katie Moore, an education major from Sunray; Heather Robison, a speech major from Slaton; Jason Smith, an English and speech major from Lubbock; Heath Ferguson, an English major from Lamesa; Paul Finley, a mass communications and speech major from Perryton; Josh Davis, a religious education and English major from Bledsoe; Josh Lubenow, a public speaking major from San Antonio; and Kelley Dunn, a speech major from Bledsoe.

The Ridgewood area being considered for an Industrial Business Zone (IBZ) includes the M1-4 and M1-4D zoned properties bordered by Cypress Avenue on the north, Irving Avenue to the south, Hancock Street on the west, and the NY Connecting Railroad Bay Ridge Freight Line on the east.
Also being considered for the IBZ are the properties in the area zoned M1-4D and M1-4, along the New York Connecting Railroad Bay Ridge Freight Line in Ridgewood and Glendale from Irving Avenue to Myrtle Avenue. This area IBZ has been proposed by the Ridgewood Local Development Corporation.
According to Board 5 District Manager Gary Giordano, the city created 16 IBZs in 2006, where expanded business services would be available for industrial and manufacturing businesses. The IBZs are supported by tax credits for businesses relocating in the zone and technical assistance, in an effort to foster industrial sector growth and real estate certainty.
Giordano explained that if a property in an IBZ is zoned for manufacturing, it would be very difficult to legally convert that property to residential use. He said that, if a property in the zone is now used for legal residential living, the property can continue to be used in that manner even if an IBZ is approved.
Also on the meeting agenda is the public forum, a review of current applications for the sale of alcoholic beverages, a review of current building demolition applications, committee reports, and the election of Executive Committee members.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the CNL Room (Door 10 on the 3rd Floor) of Christ the King Regional High School, 68-02 Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village. For additional information or to register to speak in advance, please call the Board 5 office at (718) 366-1834.

57 results from a fabrication process whereby air voids of different sizes and configurations are composed within a larger mass of dark grey glass.
These air pockets are invisible when the piece is unlit, and come alive to reveal an interior universe when 57 is illuminated. By virtue of the method of making, each 57 is completely unique.
A flexible suspension system enables pendants to be nestled in close-knit groups or loosely composed in a wider field, allowing each piece to be perceived individually.
Omer Arbel

Creative Writing Professor Jennifer Sinor to Read New Story at Kiger Hour
Thursday, Nov. 08, 2012
**Please note: Due to Montez Brothers' closing and cancellation of events, Kiger Hours has been moved to Café Sabor, 600 West Center Street, Logan. November's Kiger Hour will be held in the upstairs event room. Kiger Hour organizers apologize for the inconvenience and invite everyone to the new location.
Jennifer Sinor, associate professor of English at Utah State University, will share a story that took her 40 years to write at the next Kiger Hour talk Nov. 15. Her story, "Memories of the Future," is about her brother and the fine line that exists between the lost and the saved, the mad from the sane, Sinor said.
She is chair of the creative writing program in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Her writings and teachings focus on memoir, personal essays and braided narrative.
Sinor's work has appeared in The American Scholar, The Norton Reader, Utne and The Chronicle of Higher Education and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize earlier this year. She is the author of the book The Extraordinary Work of Ordinary Writing, a finalist for the MLA First Book Award, and co-editor of Placing the Academy: Essays on Landscape, Work, and Identity.
Sinor wrote her first novel at age 8. She discovered two years later how difficult the life of a writer could be after failing to sell any of her work at the school fair while the other children sold candy. Out of pity, Sinor suspects, her teacher commissioned a poem about a police officer. However, the subject "held no literary appeal or urgency," so she didn't write the poem. Sinor left school knowing two things about writing: that art didn't draw like sugar and that she would never be rich, Sinor said. Her story "Memories of the Future" is a piece about a police officer.
"It has only taken [me] 40 years to figure out the story [I] wanted to tell," she said.
Kiger Hour is an intellectual program presented by Utah State University and sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Caine College of the Arts. The event will be held Thursday, Nov. 15 from 5:15 to 7 p.m. at Café Sabor, 600 West Center Street, Logan.
Cost is $6.95 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and billed on an individual basis. Guests will also be able to order from the regular menu if desired.
For planning purposes, please RSVP to Natalie Archibald Smoot in the college office, 435-797-2796, or email, email@example.com.
Looking ahead, there is no Kiger Hour talk in December. The next timepiece will be Jan. 17, 2013.

TV's The Walking Dead has played very fast and loose with its source material; in the original comics, for instance, Shane died much earlier. There is no Daryl in the comics. The Governor is very different in the comics. And so far the TV series has not featured one of the comics' most popular characters - Tyreese (yeah, that's how Robert Kirkman spells it). For a while people thought T-Dog might be Tyreese, but fans were relieved to discover that character had no relation.
In the comic Tyreese joins the group fairly early on, and he's got a good attitude and helpful nature that makes him one of the more likable folks around. He's an ex-NFL player, probably because he's black and that's just how this shit goes in popular culture, and he has a daughter. There's a lot of stuff that happens to Tyreese in the prison that has, obviously, not occured in the show. Since he's not in the show.
Until now! The next major character added to The Walking Dead is Tyreese, bringing the show back up to three black characters - surely some kind of genre program record. And unlike previous casting on The Walking Dead, this one fills me with hope: Chad Coleman is playing the role. The Wire fans know Coleman as Cutty, the ex-con boxer trying to live straight in the latter half of the series. Cutty is one of the most human, decent and lovable characters in the series. A lot of that comes from Coleman, who has a soft center underneath his impressive physical exterior. Perfect for Tyreese, in my opinion.
If the show is smart they'll keep Tyreese around for a while. They can still do some of his more interesting storylines, but I think Coleman is too good an actor to just shuffle out of the story after a handful of episodes. Here's hoping
Chad Coleman is an absolutely PERFECT Tyreese.

Services celebrating the life of the Rev. Edgar Franklin will be at 11 Saturday morning, December 22, 2012, at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Lawton. The Rev. Dwight Franklin will officiate and the Rev. Darwin McHenry will deliver the Eulogy. Secondary services will follow at 3 p.m. at Jehovah Baptist in Milo to allow loved ones of the Milo community to pay final tributes and respec ts before the United States Army performs Military Graverites in Jehovah Cemetery.
The Rev. Franklin was born December 11, 1921, in the Newport, Carter County, Community. He enlisted with the United States Army in September 1942 and received an honorable discharge in September 1945. Serving during WWII, he was stationed in Germany, France, England, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. He worked as a diesel mechanic for the Army's Civil Service until his retirement in 1980, for a total of more than 33 years with the U.S. Army. Additionally, he continued in the National Guard for eight years. In 1955, he united with Union Baptist Church and was later ordained as a deacon. He accepted the call into the ministry in 1963, and was ordained by Pastors Parrish, Clay and O.B. Davis. His tenure as pastor began with Gilfield Baptist Church in Davis, and continued with St. John in Mangum, Macedonia in Ft. Cobb, Mt. Carmel, Wynnewood, Mt. Zion, Elmore City, Salem, Hennepin, St. Paul, Milo, and Woodstreet Baptist in Vernon, Texas. In 1989, he founded and organized Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Lawton at 1514 Wisconsin. He later purchased 14 additional lots at 1410 Georgia and in 1995, Mt. Pleasant moved to the new location. Continuing to move forward, another parcel of land was purchased and the church moved to the current location at 1403 Summit. For many years, the Rev. Franklin was treasurer of the New Hope District Association.
October 24, 1945, after completing his tour of duty, he and the former Lois Shannon were married. Eleven children were born to this union. She preceded him in death December 1980. After 91 years and 5 days on earth, the Rev. Franklin's soul took flight from L awton's Comanche Hospital at 11:45 p.m. Sunday, December 16 with his children at his bedside.
Others than his wife to precede him in death were his mother, Evelida McGee; stepfather, Jesse McGee; two daughters, Ella Franklin and Lena Mae Franklin; and a son, Edgar Franklin Jr.
Precious memories will forever linger with his children and their spouses, Garen and Authoree Franklin, Nolan and Patricia Franklin, Olan Franklin, Russel Franklin, Barbara White, Dwight Franklin, Diana and Quinton Pollard, Betty and Don Williams, Clifton Jackson, Alan Blaylock and Henry Stevenson; 34 grandchildren; 51 great-grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren; nieces and nephews; a sister-inlaw, Finis Jones; and two brothers-in-law, Henry Shannon Jr. and Sammy Shannon.
Services are entrusted to the care of Kirk Funeral Home. Viewal will begin at noon today.

Your Very Own Meditator (Nov, 1970)
Escape from the pressures of modern life … Relax in contemplation after building
Your Very Own Meditator
By KEN ISAACS – PS Design Consultant
"I vant to be alone." When Greta Garbo made her often-quoted remark, years ago, it may have had a deeper meaning than escape from pursuing newsmen. Everybody occasionally wants to be alone. We all need privacy to renew ourselves for the fast pace of modern living. As old as mankind, this inner need is today more urgent than ever before.
Mohandas Gandhi was perhaps this century's outstanding exponent of aloneness—of personal meditation. Gandhi's inspiration came in part from our own Henry David Thoreau, who fled to the natural solitude of Walden Pond. And Thoreau was a real soul brother of our western man of the mountains, naturalist John Muir.
But perhaps the best expression of this inner need—the one that moved me to design the Popular Science Meditator—comes from the cultural historian and critic, Lewis Mumford. In his book, The Conduct of Life, Mumford speculates that, ideally, each of us has two lives: our public life of daily activity—earning a living, raising a family—plus a private life created within our thoughts as we examine and evaluate our actions.
It is Mumford's contention that if each of us fully realized that every minute of our lives that "escapes reflection" is gone forever, we'd make provision for that "second life"—provision that would encourage us to slow down and follow up our day-today pursuits with regular meditation.
Mumford actually anticipated my Meditator design when he called for a form that would give this second life shape: a specific time and place for contemplative withdrawal—preferably even a special structure devoted to the purpose. Inspired by this idea, I designed my Meditator.
This project was conceived to make it easier for all of us to satisfy our need for occasional moments of private contemplation. Enter the Meditator and surround yourself with the graphics which cover its walls, and something begins to happen to you almost at once.
It's difficult to predict, but you may find the sensation akin to that mystical communion with nature that you experience when alone in a forest—or the sense of peace you feel in an empty cathedral. Or you may develop sudden insights as you study the picture-fragments of your world—and be swept by the conviction that you're "getting it all together" at last.
Far back into history. For the design of the Meditator, I've gone to the ancient Greeks and borrowed one of the polyhedrons they first visualized— the 12-sided dodecahedron, each face of which is a perfect pentagon. The Pythagoreans called it the "atomic building block of the Universe."
Although the structure is simple to build, the secret of its effectiveness lies in the preparation of those graphics inside. You create them from pictures cut from popular magazines-pictures of any subjects you wish, but pictures to which you have a strong response. The random assemblage of such pictures is a technique I developed some years ago and which Look magazine christened "pholage"—a word coined from "photo" and "collage" (an art work pasted up from scraps).
The point of a pholage is to confront the viewer with immediate access to a far greater variety of visual "information" than he could obtain by leafing through a magazine, page by page. Many experiments have proven my theory that such a confrontation expands the consciousness. The viewer begins to see unique relationships between seemingly isolated incidents.
The experience can be eye-opening; no two people respond the same way to an identical pholage—and no two people will assemble duplicate collages from identical materials.
The fun, then, in making your personal Meditator, is double: First you create 11 pholages (only the access panel is left bare), then discover the unexpected cross-referencing when you wrap yourself in the assembled panels. Beyond that, you'll be able to compare responses with your friends. And when you feel you've exhausted the potential of a given assembly, it's easy to paste new pictures over the old.
I think you'll be surprised by the new perspectives you'll get toward the world about you, and your own part in it. I'll soon be taking the Meditator with me (knocked down, it fits into a station wagon or sedan) on a college lecture tour as part of my demonstration of design technique. Teachers who have had an advance look at the – Meditator feel that—with changeable panels—it could be utilized in schools as a teaching environment. [Editor's note: College groups interested in booking Isaacs to speak should write him in care of Popular Science. ] A breeze to build. When you go to the lumber yard for the 3/8″ plywood, see if they'll saw the 4-by-8 panels in half for you. Four-foot squares are easier to handle.
After you've cut all the pentagons as illustrated, clamp them into two groups of six and lay out the 1/4″ holes along the edges. To bore these holes accurately, it's best to use an accessory stand with your portable drill. The distance from the edge should match the holes in the corner angles you buy. Spread one of the angles to an accurate 117 degrees, checking with a protractor, then use it as a template for the other 89.
Give all wood parts a coat of enamel undercoat. When this is dry and smoothed with fine sandpaper, apply a good semigloss enamel finish to the outside faces and all edges. For a decorative effect, paint adjacent panels contrasting colors and paint the feet to match or contrast.
Applying the pholage. Once you've gathered your magazine photos, you may want to experiment with one of the spray adhesives now on the market—although they're expensive. My own method is simple, and results in a nice flat adhesion to the undercoated plywood.
Mix nonstaining cellulose wallpaper paste slightly heavier than recommended. Put clean water in a flat pan and pull each picture through it before applying paste liberally to the back with a soft brush and a light touch. Use the same brush to put paste on the panel where the picture will be located. The panel should be leaning against the wall in a nearly vertical position when you take the picture by the two top corners and place it.
Occasionally ink will run and a clipping must be discarded, but if you keep that light touch I mentioned, this won't be frequent. You'll find that the two paste-coated surfaces attract each other so a picture almost places itself. Avoid major wrinkles, but don't try to shift clippings much once they adhere.
You may be dismayed at the puckered look of just-applied pictures, but they'll flatten overnight. The purpose of the wetting is to allow the paper to shrink to the panel. Experiment on a scrap of plywood to gain confidence and proficiency before tackling the big pentagons.
Assemble with the hardware (all wingnuts go outside) and you're ready to crawl in for meditation. You'll quickly understand what Garbo meant and why Mumford championed the second life of contemplation.

The tablet computer market, which once seemed to be dominated by Apple's iPad, is now getting more and more diverse. With the launch of the much-awaited Nexus 7, the battle of tablets has turned into a full-fledged war. While Apple stepped up the heat by announcing the iPad mini last week, Amazon had a rebuttal for that with a feature-by-feature comparison of the iPad and the Kindle Fire HD on their front page.
Though the Nexus 7 comes with Android and some of the best features around, the Kindle Fire HD and the iPad are both established devices with huge content platforms backing them. For example, for every Kindle device that is sold, Amazon gets a new customer who will buy movies, music, and other content from them and only them. Though the Nexus 7 offers pretty much the same, the content that the Google Play Store offers is not strong enough to compete with what is there on Apple iPad and the Kindle Fire HD. That said, there is no big differentiation between the qualities offered by these devices. The three of them are top-notch performers in the tablet market and have been battling constantly for the top spot. As to who wins, it remains to be seen, but till then we can compare these three mini pocket-sized devices and figure out which one you should invest your hard-earned money in.
The Kindle Fire HD comes in two variants: 16GB and 32GB. Both these variants are enough for any movie buff or music junkie. The Nexus 7 and the iPad mini both offer these variations but the iPad offers a 64GB variant too, which will please many movie fans. There's no winner here but the iPad does a good job by adding an extra option for its consumers.
Verdict: Tie
Screen Size, Display, Resolution
Both the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7 comes with a 7-inch screen. The iPad mini on the other hand offers a 7.85-inch screen, which is slightly better than its competitors. When it comes to resolution, the iPad mini loses to its competitors by offering a meager 1024x768 resolution as opposed to 1280x800 HD display offered by Kindle Fire HD and Nexus7. Though the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 offer similar display resolution, the Nexus 7 one-ups the former by providing a slightly bigger actual screen area.
Winner: Nexus 7
Kindle Fire HD
The iPad mini comes with a Dual-core A5 processor making it a great performer for watching movies and playing games as well. We don't think any Apple fan would have any reason to complain about the performance of the device. However, Android lovers will be happy to know that the Nexus 7 beats the overpriced iPad mini again by providing a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. The Kindle Fire HD is one step behind it as it comes with a 1.2 GHz processor. Yep, that one is quad core too.
Winner: Nexus 7
Both the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD comes with a rear-facing HD camera with 720p video recording capability. The iPad mini though comes with a 5MP 1080p rear camera and HD front-facing camera with 1080p video recording capability. This puts the iPad mini much ahead of its competitors when it comes to camera quality and video chatting.
Winner: iPad mini
iPad Mini
The iPad mini though larger than the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7, comes out as the lightest of them all. The 308g device is much easier to carry around when compared to 395g Kindle Fire HD and the 340g Nexus 7. Definitely, the iPad mini wins again in this category.
Winner: iPad mini
Operating System
Though the iPad mini comes with the latest and the greatest OS Apple has to offer, it's not as good as what its competition has come up with. Marred by a big controversy surrounding the unfinished Apple maps application, iOS 6 doesn't quite measure up to Apple's high standards. No wonder it pales in comparison to Android Jelly Bean on Nexus 7. Jelly Bean comes with some amazing features that let it compete head to head with iOS. Even the recently launched Google Now feature gives a strong competition to Apple's Siri.
Coming to Kindle Fire HD, it includes a highly customized version of Android making it the weakest amongst the three.
Winner: Nexus 7
Price and value for money
The Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus 7 both are priced at $199 for the low-end device configuration. The iPad mini on the other hand is priced at a whopping $329 making it less accessible for everyone.
Winner: Nexus 7
Nexus 7
There's very little doubt that the Google Nexus 7 is the clear winner in this battle of 7-inch tablets. It's a solid, high-performing, quality device that should outperform all of its competitors. --Worth buying if you're looking for the best 7-inch tablet around.

Consider this your special invitation to attend the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition.
It's a giant farm show held during the middle of October each year near Moultrie, Ga. It's a farm show that for 34 consecutive years has earned and built on its reputation as North America's Premier Farm Showtm.
The Expo is ever changing, yet ever the same in its overall goal: to introduce the latest in agricultural production technology to U.S. farmers.
If you farm, or if you want to farm, or if you have ever at any time felt close to the land, then the Expo is the place to be.
The farm show will again welcome visitors during its Tuesday through Thursday schedule, this year from Oct. 18 through Oct. 20. The Expo will once again be held at its longtime permanent location, at Spence Field near Moultrie, Ga. The site is located four miles southeast of U.S. Hwy 319 on Ga. Hwy 133.
"We have had a great farm show since our first one in 1978," says Expo director Chip Blalock, "but this year's show will be our best one yet — with new exhibitors, new technology and our outstanding field demonstrations.
"Farmers have learned they can count on Expo to see new technology before it becomes widely available. Come see for yourself because I can assure you our exhibitors will meet or exceed your expectations."
Blalock has seen many changes in farming and in the Expo since he became the farm show's director in 1998. "We are proud of the professionalism of American farmers," he says.
"We are proud to offer these farmers and their families an event that showcases all of the good they do for the people of this country. The American people can be sure they will be well fed and clothed and housed because of the efforts of the American farmers. Our farm show is a testament to the productivity of American farmers."
Even if you've attended Expo every year it has been held, you'll find something new this year. For instance, a new exhibit building just steps away from the main gate will offer an overall introduction to the dynamic agricultural industry of Georgia. It will include special exhibits sponsored by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation.
This is just one of more than 1,200 exhibits you'll see in the site's 100-acre exhibit area. Many of these exhibits are contained in permanent exhibit buildings to insure that, whatever the weather, you will be comfortable while taking in the latest offerings of new farming technology. Outdoor exhibits are plentiful as well.
It's a real treat
If you have never attended the Expo, and you decide to attend this year, it will be a real treat for you.
John Deere will open a new test driving-range for its utility vehicles. The Expo will welcome dozens of new exhibitors this year. One is the Albany State University Water Policy Center with vital information to share on scarce water supplies during drought years such as this one.
Visitors will see another major improvement in the Expo facilities with the expansion of the Priefert horse arena. The Colquitt County Saddle Club had been looking for land to build a new horse arena, when the Expo volunteered to offer the Saddle Club use of the horse facilities on the show grounds. The arena has been expanded to 140- by 250-feet, and equipped with new Priefert corral panels.
The Saddle Club will also provide horse demonstrations during Expo sponsored by Southern States, including some featuring handicapped children who take part in equestrian Special Olympics events and others featuring the Georgia High School Rodeo Association members.
Also for this year, you'll see some retrofitted miniature Sukup brand grain bins conveniently placed as information booths on the exhibit grounds. These bins will be staffed by individuals who can provide information on the all of the events and exhibits at the farm show.
In a University of Florida exhibit focusing on "the swamp," you'll learn this term is much more than just a nickname of the school's football stadium. The real swamps of Florida and the Southeast contain vital natural resources such as cypress logs, tupelo honey, and a wide assortment of aquatic wildlife, including, of course, gators.
The Titan/Goodyear tire exhibit along with the tire auctions to benefit the Georgia FFA Foundation will be moving to a new exhibit location this year. The new site is at block A-3 of the exhibit grounds, between the John Deere and the Valmont/Valley irrigation exhibits.
The static exhibits, 600-acre working research farm, harvesting and tillage equipment demonstrations and the tractor driving ranges combine to make the Expo the most comprehensive must-attend farm show in the southeastern United States.
Visitors will get the opportunity to evaluate models and brands that might not be readily available in local areas.
The show offers state-of-the-art machinery demonstrations as well as new research-developed farming practices and cutting-edge interactive educational exhibits.
The Expo farm was built over many years on land that had once been an old military airbase. The Expo farm, now managed by Michael Williams, has made a concerted effort to mirror what is taking place on real farms throughout the Southeast.
For instance, this year Williams has greatly increased the farm's plantings of cotton, a crop that saw strong demand earlier this year and record high prices. More than 200 acres of cotton have been planted on the farm, more than enough to keep the new pickers with built-in module builders busy throughout each day of the show during the harvesting demonstrations. Cotton has been grown every year since the first farm show on the Expo farm.
Other crops also highlighted
In addition to cotton, the Expo farm fields feature other major crops grown in Georgia, including peanuts, corn, soybeans and forages for haymaking.
Tractor-drawn covered shuttle wagons will transport visitors to the fields to see the popular harvesting and tillage demonstrations. On the way, visitors will be able to get off the wagons and test drive GMC trucks or any number of new tractors, many of them equipped with global positioning systems and other precision farming technology.
As a real farm, the Expo copes with the same weather challenges as other farms in the region.
This year, for example, the Expo farm was challenged by extreme drought, the same drought that harmed crops throughout the Southeast. Fortunately, at Expo irrigation is the norm rather than the exception. Irrigation systems operated non-stop, particularly during the dry months of May and June.
The irrigation systems at Expo are among the best in the nation, featuring variable rate water application, efficient nozzles and flow meters to verify the amount of water applied each season.
This year, the Expo farm welcomes the addition of a new eight-tower Reinke center pivot system that will cover 150 acres. The new irrigation system features the latest technology in telemetry, Nelson nozzles and a built-in weather station.
The telemetry technology includes computer-based links to connect the pivot and its pumping system to a centralized computer.
The weather station will collect and report real-time weather as well as historical weather data, information that will be combined with system's operating history and plant water requirements to efficiently schedule irrigation for the crops.
The Sunbelt Expo helps to sponsor the farming profession's most prestigious award in the Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year program.
Nine outstanding farmers have been selected as state winners from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. One of these farmers will announced as the overall Farmer of the Year winner at a luncheon to be held on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
The Expo extends a special invitation and welcome to visitors from Arkansas. The diverse agriculture in this state will be highlighted for the first time in a special spotlight state exhibit.
The American Grand Finals Stock Dog Trials returns to showcase some of the nation's top Border Collie dogs as they move both cattle and sheep through a number of obstacles and into pens in a large grassed field close to the exhibits.
Win a new pickup
You'll have the chance to register to win a new pickup truck in the Expo's pickup and automotive exhibits. Also, be sure to register for the main gate door prize, a Massey Ferguson lawn tractor.
Backyard gardening will be the focus of daily presentations offered by Extension Service specialists in the Family Living building.
Hunting and fishing seminars and related exhibits will return to Agribusiness Building-4.
Beef cattle exhibits and seminars will again take place in the Bill Patten Beef Pavilion. Other special exhibit sections have been set aside for horses, dairy cattle, poultry, sheep and goats, and alpacas.
Portable sawmills will be operated in the western section of the exhibit grounds. All terrain vehicles and utility vehicles will be available for test-driving in the eastern part of the show grounds.
Antique tractors will return with a large display in the western section of the exhibit grounds, along with daily parades throughout the grounds.
Other special exhibit sections are devoted to lawn and garden equipment, fish ponds and commercial aquaculture, electricity and propane gas.
Expo visitors will find facilities available for overnight camping. The Spence Field site still has a 4,500-foot active runway, controlled during the farm show by the Federal Aviation Administration, and it is available for use by private and charter airplanes during Expo.
The show will be open to visitors each day starting at 8:30 a.m. Admission cost is $10 per person or $20 for a three-day pass. Children under the age of 12 are admitted free when accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
For additional information, contact the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition, 290-G Harper Blvd., Moultrie, Ga. 31788. Phone: 229-985-1968, fax: 229-890-8518, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com, Web site: www.sunbeltexpo.com.
