No More Lives Lost: Brownsville section of Brooklyn, NY Residents Send a Message of Hope.
August 22, 2014 by Staff
Filed under News, Opinion, Politics, Weekly Columns
(ThyBlackMan.com) For many outside the community, Brownsville, Brooklyn has become synonymous with gun violence and crime. More people have been shot in Brownsville this year than in all of Manhattan, and it is estimated that 56 percent of the men imprisoned come from this eastern Brooklyn neighborhood.
Yet, on Aug. 10, 2014, the people who call Brownsville home united in an effort to reshape their community's reputation, breaking the cycle of violence and uplifting a message of hope.
Led by Karmisha Superville, more than 200 residents and friends packed the Brownsville Playground at 1555 Linden Boulevard to lift their voices in unison, making the declaration for their beloved community, "No more lives lost."
With the help of every prominent person within her network of contacts, Superville orchestrated the empowerment session, "Bridging the Gap Between Church and Community: An Initiative to Stop Gun Violence."
For many years the Brownsville section of Brooklyn has faced a stigma to the larger society as direct result of the high gun violence and other criminal activity, and that Sunday the community gathered in the heart of their neighborhood to receive powerful messages of renewed hope coupled with practical strategies to end the current and tragic gun warfare.
"There is a renewed sense of awakening taking place in a community that has least undergone gentrification within Brooklyn," Superville said. "And on August 10th that awakening was rocked, cradled and nurtured. As residents joined together and supported Brownsville, they helped to build Brooklyn."
The event was kick started by a Drumcore prelude by Maranatha SDA Church, followed by a heated panel discussion on gun violence moderated by Gilford T. Monrose. Panelists included Shanduke McPhatter, Sean T. Pryor and Chris S. Owens. A second panel on education, financial literacy and health moderated by Council Member and Community Liaison, Ernest Skinner, followed. The panelist included Maranatha SDA Church Pastor, Shane Vidal; Health Professional and Pastor, David Newton; and Damien Jackson, a top financial advisor.
Superville and her team distributed questionnaires to the local residents about ways of combating crime in their communities. The surveys also sought feedback from community members about their needs and how they feel churches can assist in meeting them.
Brooklyn District Attorney, Ken Thompson, also mingled with the residents before addressing their concerns. Thompson spoke to media outlets about the influx of gun violence and why he decided to support this gun violence rally.
Various churches of varying denominations supported Superville's vision, with each volunteer wearing T-shirts that read "Bridging the Gap Between Church and Community"—reflecting the event's purpose and symbolizing unity.
Many inner-city communities are filled with churches; however, crimes are at an all time high. Superville said she found it alarming that many churches are not involved in community outreach programs of this magnitude; yet, it was very refreshing to receive so much support from a plethora of religious organizations.
As the successful Brownsville event continues to be highlighted, Superville says people must be willing to replicate this template to other communities.
"I want this event to be a movement into other communities in Brooklyn and even statewide," she said.
Gun violence is an issue that strikes home for the twenty-something Brownsville resident. Superville has experienced the pain of losing family members to this silent killer and, with a vision that she deems "miraculous," Superville decided to take a stand and promote awareness about this issue. She strongly advocates for ending gun violence in Brownsville, knowing that decreasing violence even in the slightest way can make a world of difference.
"One life saved from the hands of gun violence is the reward of a lifetime," Superville said.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Nico Johnson didn't have to wait long Saturday to become the fifth Alabama player selected in the 2013 NFL Draft.
With the second pick in the fourth round, the Kansas City Chiefs selected the former Alabama linebacker.
Johnson started 20 games at Alabama and helped the Crimson Tide win three national championships in four seasons.
He shared the middle linebacker position last season with junior C.J. Mosley.
In the first round, three Alabama players were drafted Thursday: cornerback Dee Milliner, guard Chance Warmack and tackle D.J. Fluker.
In the second round, the Green Bay Packers picked former Alabama running back Eddie Lacy.
Johnson finished his college career with 163 tackles. As a senior, he had 55 tackles (23 solo), including two for a loss. He forced two fumbles.

Updated MSDN Article on Dynamic Animations in WPF
I've updated an MSDN article that I wrote quite awhile back called Creating 2-D and 3-D Dynamic Animations in Windows Presentation Foundation. Basically, it is a visualization of CPU utilization, dynamically creating the animation on the fly using the WPF Animation engine. The article shows how to do simple scale animations in 3D, of which there aren't a ton of examples out there.
The most interesting update to the article is running the application on Vista. Because of User Account Control (UAC) in Vista, the application requires elevated permissions to get at the performance counter data. The article explains how to have your application display the standard elevated permission dialog using a manifest -- much more user friendly than having your users right-click and run as admin:

By Rachel Martin, Jeff Worthington, and iHistory Project WW2
War history. Veteran Stories. Why are they important?
I didn't know. My dad didn't know. I'm not entirely sure my grandmother knew. A small group of us sat in awed silence as my grandad recounted living through the catastrophic sinking of the HMT Rohna.We were awed to learn my grandad, a World War II veteran, was the survivor of a ship sunk by a Luftwaffe attack off the Mediterranean coast. Over 1,000 men were lost in the attack. Veiled in secrecy for years, the sinking of the HMT Rohna was the largest loss of US troops at sea.
My granddad was one of the 606 survivors of the November 26th, 1943 attack, and he clung to life in the ocean for days before his rescue. As one of the few survivors, he was one of the lucky ones.
The event was catastrophic. So much so, that the US Government veiled the incident in secrecy until 1996, almost 50 years after the incident.
How do you tell a story that was classified and veiled in secrecy for over 50 years?
How do you gather facts on a tragedy filled with "strong silent" types? It's impossible to learn and tell a story unless you're first ready to listen.
While he lived through a historic event, my granddad rarely spoke of his experiences.
Granddad is gone now, and I'm so thankful for the opportunities I had to hear about his WWII experiences. Had I not talked to him about his experience in World War II, his story would be lost forever with his passing.
History is important and there are stories to be told.
That's why we're launching iHistory WWII. We're working in cooperation with the Library of Congress to bring stories of veterans to life. iHistoryWWII is providing students with the opportunity to hear stories first hand, and the chance to win free equipment for their classroom!
Visit our website, and stay tuned for more details!

Culture wars: Those who update their technology and those who do not
Tonight I was going to make history. Break barriers. Conceive urban legends. I was planning to compose a literary masterpiece of such insane blogliness that it would knock the metaphoric socks off of yo' asses (not physically possible) through a saga of witty ramblings about inane bullshit that would turn up in response to some very desperate Google search. (Apparently a lot of people ask Google if it's strange to crumple their toilet paper. See below, son!)
But no. As I sit in my sister's overheated non air conditioned second floor apartment, with her 17 pound cat by my side, I am in wonder, absolute God-fearing WONDER at what I have just discovered.
Apparently there is something known as: Microsoft Word 2010.
I was just sitting here, innocent as a virgin lamb, braiding my curly locks and singing When You Wish Upon a Star when I saw it. Right there on the desktop screen of my sister's archaic piece of machinery she calls a laptop, the icon screamed to me with a banchee's echoing cries fading in the distance.
Micrsoft (soft, soft, soft, soft)
Word (word, word, word, word)
How is this happening? How did my dear sister get caught in this never ending, high-priced trap of constant updating and upgrading? Did she pay for this hogwash? Illegally pirate this gobbledygook? Did she want it, or was she forced into it by a third party? My dear sweet sister. The thought makes me want to run into a knife.
So in honor of her, victim forever to the Microsoft machine, I dismiss my previous topic (I'm lying, I had no topic planned) and focus solely on what I think is a crisis. A silent killer. An epidemic of astronomical proportions.
The raging jihad between those who upgrade and those who do not.
Ok, I admit. Raging jihad is a small exaggeration. But still! There is most definitely a cultural divide here. While some people teeter on the line between casual iTunes updater and committed Droid user, I find that most lean more loyally in one direction or another. So it is those loyal leaners I will focus on in tonight's blog.
Because truth be told, I don't believe my sister intentionally did this. I'm sure when her guard was down, in a moment of weakness, someone forced it upon her. She certainly wasn't asking for it!
You know how tech junkies can be. All you need is someone to help clear your search history so no one finds out how frequently you search Google Image for pictures of flamingos in tutus, and suddenly they are changing your wallpaper, mouse speed, and upgrading programs you didn't know existed. You are confused and overwhelmed and they say things like "cookies" and "virus protection" and "who watches amputee porn?" and you can't help but tell them to just do what they need to do. Get in, get off, get out. Wam Bam, no thank you ma'am. I digress…
Point is, like a Catholic high school valedictorian caught up in a sexting scandal, this was not her idea. My sister fits comfortably, if not entirely in the non-upgrading category. She has two pairs of shoes: sandals and clogs. She uses my mother's discarded laptop with a crack down the left side of the screen. She mends ripped jeans with patches derived from Salvation Army purchases. She's a cool, laid back, chick who would not be caught dead with an iPhone and probably thinks a Kindle is a new brand of dog food.
She has nothing in common with the upgrading type.
The upgrading type comes in various forms. The aforementioned tech junkie, busting a nut over every new form of technology introduced to the world. The "I'm lower middle class but want to pretend I'm upper middle class, so let me take this second mortgage to pay for my iPad 2 and my children's unnecessary private school education" type. And of course the everyday hardworking American who chooses to simply purchase the items he/she has earned the right to own. All very different, the only thing these versions of the upgrading type have in common is the agreement that the program/product in question actually needs upgrading. This is where I run into problems.
I have a hard time understanding, let alone justifying why Apple introduces a new iPhone every 36 hours, or what the difference is between 3G and 4G, or why Word 2010 is necessary when I have yet to even update to 2007. I write a lot. 2003 has yet to let me down.
So why reader? Why do some people find value in upgrading their technology while others do not? Same reason I buy new vinyl and scoff at digital downloading. Some people are just cooler and smarter than others. I am one of those people.I know you don't need to update your technology to be just as superficial and materialistic as the "woo girl" wearing Uggs and cut off shorts in December. I know that by simply placing too much value on any product of your choosing, you can accomplish the same level of sheep-like product loyalty at a fraction of the cost of new Apple products. Buying things with money you do not have is comforting and fun! But being sucked into the idea that you need to buy something because Steve Jobs makes it available to you is not. Instead of focusing your debt building energies on products you are told you should have, why not pick something more tailored to your individuality? Like ceramic armadillo figurines or dashboard hula girls. Or in my case vinyl records and concert tickets.
Why is it so important to not get sucked into this belief that we need to spend our borrowed money on products we are told to love? I'll tell you why.
Or maybe I won't.
It's 3:59 a.m.
Why am I still awake, updating this blog?
I give up. I'm throwing in the towel. Popping my own cherry. No boy will ever want me with these braces and blackheads. I hate my body! Cry, cry, cry.
Have fun deciphering the hidden meaning of this poorly versed conclusion sentence.
Feedback is encouraged, as well as monetary donations and Auto Zone Coupons. I need wiper blades.
The girl whose commitment to this blog should be ridiculed on an hourly basis

text: I don't usually post much but I just need some support. My sweet little girl died this morning. I don't even know what happened. DH (dear husband) and I put her to sleep last night and went to bed a little later and decided not to wake her to eat since she would be up in an hour or so anyway. And then at 7:42, I woke up and she hadn't gotten up for about 8 hours and she usually wakes a few times to nurse. So I panicked a little and woke DH (dear husband) and we ran in there and she was gone already. I did everything right for her. She always slept on her back. No toys or blankets in there. She wasn't too hot or cold. She was breastfed. No solids before six months. No CIO. I always made sure her car seat was right. And she was still taken from me. I loved her so fucking much and now she's gone. What am I supposed to do now??? 😥

While there are still some who resist the notion that more fat in the diet can be healthy, the general consensus that high quality fats and oils can be a major constituent continues to grow. Whether someone is getting 40% of their energy from fats or 60% would be less important in my opinion. The greatest issues with fats are more about their qualities and stability overall.
The human body places the majority of the fats it receives in cell or organelle membranes (such as the mitochondrial membrane). The ability of these fats to stay cool under pressure and to avoid becoming free radicals with exposure to the oxidative stress that is often present is essential for long-term health. Highly polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels from seed oils contain multiple sites that can react with oxidation-driving molecules, creating much greater potential for generating cellular damage in one area or another. While these polyunsaturated oils are needed in small quantities every day, excessive amounts (as found in the typical American diet and in most processed foods) create greater risk for multiple diseases.
The best sources of polyunsaturated fat are organic ground flax, organic cold pressed flax oil, pumpkin seeds, unrefined krill oil, and small oily wild fish. All of these choices contain some major upsides in spite of being rich sources of polyunsaturated fat. First, they have solid levels of omega 3 fatty acids. Only pumpkin seeds are lower in this area, but pumpkin seeds are an incredible source of magnesium, zinc, and other nutrients. Unlike other PUFA-rich foods, organic flax and oily fish are low in their omega 6 fatty acid content. This means that they are less likely to drive inflammation on their own and may offer some anti-inflammatory protection.
As with most of the foods we are discussing, organic, cold pressed is critical. Conventionally grown flax will have significant levels of glyphosate in it and non-cold pressed will probably have been exposed to the petroleum distillate/solvent hexane for removal from the seed. Fish like sardines and mackerel are much lower on the food chain and make the most sustainable, as well as cleanest choices from the ocean.
Collectively, these sources of polyunsaturated fat should make up the minority of the fat in our diet. Again, some research suggests no more than 5% our calories and others indicate that they may be well tolerated at levels closer to 10%. Those differences are probably based upon numerous other factors, but choosing them wisely and from the best possible sources is equally important.
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have a dramatically lower susceptibility to oxidation than the aforementioned PUFAs. In addition, they are close to being physiologically neutral to the process of inflammation. Because they are not omega 3 or omega 6-rich, most foods high in their MUFA content do not favor pro-inflammation or anti-inflammation pathways. The most monounsaturated fats and oils are extra virgin olive oil, almonds, and avocadoes. All of these have at least a small amount of PUFAs, but it is a small minority of that fat that they offer. It is best to buy organic, raw almonds whenever possible. It is also important to do what you can to assure that your olive oil is truly extra virgin olive oil and not part of some lower quality blend. Sourcing olive oil from one estate or smaller olive farm is the best way to assure this. Try to make monounsaturated fats a bigger part of your day by using olive oil for lower heat cooking (less than 300F) or for salad dressings and dips. Snack on almonds and guacamole whenever the opportunity arises. These fats are stable and populations that have consumed as high as half their calories from olive oil (the Cretans and Ikarians for instance) have amazing health.
Lastly, and this is one that some still need to hear repeatedly, are the saturated fats. Believe it or not, saturated fats are the type that our cell membranes do the best with overall. Of course we do need the other types in varying amounts, but the majority of the fatty acids in these vulnerable membranes have got to be stable and less prone to oxidation. This is where coconut, extra virgin coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and macadamia nuts come in. All of these are almost entirely comprised of saturated fat.
Pacific Islanders and Sri Lankans have incredibly low risks for heart disease and cancer when they follow their traditional diets made up largely of coconut oil and fat. These fats also hold up to cooking and higher temperatures better than other types of fats. They make the best fats as foundations for healthy diets. Of course olive oil can too, so long as we are not cooking with it in high heat applications.
Lard could make this list if it were both organic and from 100% grass or pasture-raised animals. But because there is such a limited supply of products that meet these criteria, it is unlikely that most will find this. A non pasture-raised lard is not a recommendation that I will make.
So, in summary, choose more saturated fats for most of your cooking and don't be afraid of butter! Be sure to also include higher quality, extra virgin olive oil whenever possible. Make the PUFA-rich oils a smaller part of your diet by limiting them to what you get from organic flax seeds or oil and smaller, oily, ocean going fish. If we do this, we provide our physiology with a more durable, longer lasting architecture that will also be less flammable when it comes to inflammation.

Skip to 0 minutes and 2 seconds MAN: FutureLearn. [THEME MUSIC] UNSW Australia. AKASA case study, part four. N.G.
Skip to 0 minutes and 13 seconds KAMALAWATHIE WITH INTERPRETER: We carry out several projects for women with disability through AKASA. We organise women with disability in their own communities and mobilise them so that they can ask that their rights be recognised. We implement livelihood projects, so that they can be independent financially. We have counselling for women with disabilities. Where there are children with disabilities, we assist them in obtaining their education and encourage them to educate themselves as far as possible. We provide vocational training for young women with disability. We carry out awareness programmes on human rights for women with disability, for guardians of women with disability and their parents. And we even conduct awareness programmes for bureaucrats and politicians.
Skip to 0 minutes and 57 seconds So it's very important that we create awareness among all stakeholders. We teach them about the policy. We teach them all the laws. We teach them about the UN Convention. We also make them aware of the different types of assistance that is available to women or persons with disability through the state. At the individual level and at the personal level, we even help out in situations such as a wedding. We try to implement projects around sport and culture. We create recreational opportunities for women with disability.
Skip to 1 minute and 28 seconds In fact, what we try to do for our projects is to create similar opportunities for women with disability as there are for other Sri Lankan women, so that their lives are no different to other Sri Lankan women. Irrespective of their disability, we try to offer them an opportunity to live a quality life.
Skip to 1 minute and 47 seconds We were able to organise a leadership training programme for about 25 to 50 women per district for 10 days. So all these different women, Sinhalese and Tamil, came together for the training programme, and they went back home transformed. For example, in that group, there were women who were combatants who were disabled during the war. There were women who had acquired disability due to hostilities carried out by the LTTE and by government forces. And these women in general would have had very negative perceptions of the individuals of the other community. But because of the leadership training that we organised, they were able to break down those negative perceptions and establish relationships with each other based on humanity.
Skip to 2 minutes and 33 seconds And those relationships remain today. And they are in touch with each other. And I think, looking back, that this is one of our greatest achievements.
Expanding your interests: AKASA case study - Part 4
In this step, we look at some of the ways that AKASA, an association of women with disabilities in rural Sri Lanka, has worked to support disabled women.
As Kamala explains, AKASA provides practical supports so that women with disabilities can have opportunities equal to those of other women in their communities. In particular, their livelihood projects have helped to create opportunities for women with disabilities to be involved in cultural, social, recreational, educational and vocational activities.
In addition to providing individual supports for disabled people in the community, such as leadership training, AKASA has also worked more broadly to raise awareness about human rights among individuals, community members, and governments; and has supported disabled women to form supportive relationships with one another across cultural and ethnic boundaries. These various supports have also worked to change the perception of women with disability in their communities, and even to change their own perceptions of themselves.
For Kamala, providing support goes hand-in-hand with the provision of access and opportunity. But it also involves cultivating respect for human diversity and human rights, and helping people to see past their differences and form supportive relationships with one another.
Talking points
- What different kinds of support do you recognise from the video?
- Does this example in any way change your ideas about support?
- Human rights is central to AKASA's approach to support. What impact do you think a human rights framework has?
- How does this case study tie together the different topics from this course?
In the next step we look at yet another case study — support for parents with intellectual disabilities.

Hope is defined as: the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best (noun) or to believe, desire, or trust (verb). We have all lived through some sort of disaster or tough situation. When a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina or the oil spill or the earthquake in Haiti occurs, the better parts of humanity shine through. People band together and create hope: hope that there are more survivors than thought, hope that they can make a difference. With these disasters, hope is cultivated through volunteers, donations, and prayers.
Thankfully, such disasters are not as prevelant as our own personal disasters are. A lot of times it is easy simply to give up and cave in to the feelings of despair, anger, and frustration. However, we all know that those feelings aren't beneficial and do not alleviate the situation. In these situations, it is easy to think "why me" and/or "great something else goes wrong in my life"- I know I have done that… but it's best to hope for the best of the situation… Maybe that minor car accident can lead to you getting a new paint job on your car- or overdrawing your bank account will allow you to really assess where you are spending your money! Like the age old mantra "everything happens for a reason"- even though that is sometimes annoying to think or have other people tell you, I truly think it is true.
"What seems to us are bitter trials are often blessings in disguise."
-Oscar Wilde

The Strongman FAQ 1.2
by Tapio Ojanaho
1. What are strongman competitions?
A typical strongman competition consists of six events. The first three
events are used to qualify eight finalists for the last three events. There
are about fifteen different events established so far. The promoter of a
particular competition chooses from among these. Many of these events are
adopted from traditional, centuries old contests like Scottish Highland
Games and the Basque contests in Spain. Variations of regular powerlifts are
used to test pure strength.
The composition of competitions must vary to prevent favoring certain (types
of) competitors. For example, if you have two pressing events, you make it
easier for Olympic lifters and powerlifters. Qualifying heats must be
arranged if there are many competitors. Usually 10-15 men are invited to
compete in a regular competition, as a larger number would make the
competition unbearably long. In major contests like World's Strongest Man,
qualifying heats and final heats are held on separate days. Some of the
most common events are:
*Farmer's Walk -- Competitors carry heavy "suitcases" weighing about 110 kg
(245 lbs) in each hand for a set distance, and compete for the fastest time.
Otherwise, they compete for total distance.
*Car Walk -- Distance event. A car with roof and floor removed is carried
with harnesses as far as possible. Usually the load is around 350-400 kg
(775-880 lbs). A Finnish invention.
*Loading -- Timed event. Five heavy objects weighting 100-150 kg (220-335
lbs) are loaded onto a truck bed or onto some kind of platform. The course
is about 15 m (50 ft) long and the objects range from treasure chests, to
sacks of sand, to ship anchors.
*McGlashen Stones -- Timed event. Five heavy round stones weighing 110-150
kg (220-335 lbs) are put on top of high barrels. The course is about 5-10 m
(16-33 ft) long. Scottish tradition.
*Truck Pulling -- Timed event. A heavy vehicle is pulled across a
"finish-line" hand-over-hand style with a 30 m (100 ft) rope as fast as
possible. Sometimes the vehicle is pulled with a harness.
*Log-Press / Stone-Press -- Strength event. Heaviest possible load is
pressed overhead or lighter weight is done for repetitions.
*Hercules Hold -- Timed event. A competitor stands in a cable-cross-type
machine with 130 kg (290 lb) weighted cable handles in each hand. Grip
strength is tested for time.
*Stone Lift -- Strength event. Heaviest possible stone is lifted to
shoulder height. From the Basque tradition.
*Log Throw / Caber toss -- Strength event. A five meter long log is thrown
for distance or for height over a bar. The distance throw is from the
Scottish tradition.
*Weight throw -- Strength event. A 15-20 kg (33-45 lb) weight, usually a
large ingot, is thrown for height over a bar.
*Tug of War -- One on one tug of war in a single-elimination tournament.
Competitors pair-off based on their current point standings.
*Pole Pushing -- One on one pole pushing in a Sumo-style ring in a
single-elimination tournament. The pole has handles at either end.
*Crucifix -- Weights are held straight out at the sides for time.
*Car Rolling -- Rolling cars over different courses.
*Variations on individual powerlifts. For example, squatting a platform
full of children on rails.
*Every year the best promoters invent new events that are exciting and
hopefully pose less risk of injury to the athletes in this demanding sport.
One of these was last years "bleacher wheelbarrow" filled with people.
2. What is the history of modern strongman competitions?
The World's Strongest Man competition has been held annually since 1977. In
1995 it was held in the Bahamas; South Africa in 1994; France in 1993. It
is by far the most important competition in the world. In the 1980's this
competition produced various national championships as qualifiers to the
upper-level. Nowadays every influential country have their own national
contest to find the best athlete for the World's Strongest Man.
The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) has been a driving force in
popularizing this sport. The BBC sells the show around the world. Trans
World International produces this competition for BBC.
3. What is the strongman scene like in Finland and other countries?
There are about ten international competitions staged in Finland every year.
Among these are the European Hercules and the Finnish Open. In addition,
there are several local competitions. Almost fifty athletes are entered in
the Finnish Nationals to be held on the 13th of April -- an impressive number
of competitors! I wonder how they will organize the qualification heats so it
runs smoothly. The winner of this competition is invited to compete in the
World's Strongest.
The sports arenas in Finland are especially crowded for the three previously
mentioned competitions. Also, the local competitions fascinate the
public more than powerlifting or bodybuilding contests. Presumably the
sport is popular in other countries, but I don't have details about them
4. Who does well in strongman competitions?
Obviously strength is an important qualification for competitors. Not
surprisingly, powerlifters do well, but competitors must have all-around
strength and athletic abilities. Tremendous explosive power and superb
endurance are required to cope with the pushing and pulling of different
objects required of competitors throughout the competition. Competitions of
this type demand such a wide repertoire of capacities that specialized
training is required to excel. Heavyweight bodybuilders have sometimes done
well, owing to their usually better aerobic capacities as compared to
5. Who are the top contenders?
In the 1980's America's Bill Kazmaier and Iceland's Jon-Pall Sigmarsson
dominated the sport with Sigmarsson winning the world title for four times
(most recently in 1990) and Kazmaier thrice. In 1989 it was UK's Jamie
Reeves. In the 90's Iceland's Magnus Ver Magnusson has won the title three
times (1991, 1994 and 1995), Holland's Ted van der Parre won in 1992 and UK's
Gary Taylor won in 1993. All of these men have a strong background in
powerlifting, and they are all large men, averaging about 192 cm (6'4'') and
135 kg (300 lbs).
Bill retired in the 80's and Jon-Pall died in 1992. His aorta was torn
while deadlifting in the gym -- an injury attributable to a family related
heart debility. Magnus Ver Magnusson has said that Jon-Pall was aware of
this weakness, as his sister suffered from same thing. The other champions
mentioned are still active.
Some of the other contenders:
Manfred Hoeberl -- Austrian with lots of coverage in bb-magazines (eg. profile
in the April '96 issue of MMI) and runner-up in world's strongest 1994.
Currently recovering from a serious car accident.
Joe Onosai -- Samoa's gift to American football's Dallas Cowboys and also a
former powerlifter.
Forbes Cowan -- Three time Scotland's Strongest Man.
Gerrit Badenhorst -- A South African with three world titles in powerlifting
and also a runner-up in World's Strongest Man in 1995. Considered one of the
top-five strongest of all time by Powerlifting USA's Brian Batcheldor.
Riku Kiri -- Four time Finnish national champion, twice placed third in the
World's Strongest. Considered one of the top-five strongest of all time by
Powerlifting USA's Brian Batcheldor.
Marko Varalahti -- 6'9'' Finn with one Finnish national title and a third
place showing in the World's Strongest in 1995.
One rising star is German Heinz Ollesch -- 195cm and 160 kg (6'5" and 360
An American star is missed badly, as Bill Kazmaier's shoes are still waiting
to be filled.
6. Which countries turn out the best competitors?
The sport's strongest nations currently are Iceland, UK, South Africa and
Finland. Magnus Ver Magnusson while competing in the Finnish Open
Championships on 10 March 1995, stated that he had never seen so many
high-caliber contenders as in Finland.
7. How to familiarize with the sport?
If you want to familiarize yourself with the sport, you can purchase
VHS-copies of these competitions. Brian Batcheldor wrote a complete report
of World's 1994 in the Feb. '95 issue of Powerlifting USA. Also, I think
David Webster has written some books of history's strongest men. Look for
the small ads in the muscle magazines.
8. Is there an organization behind these competitions?
The rights to the World's Strongest Man competition are owned by Trans World
International (TWI). David Webster of Scotland was head coordinator of the
competition since 1977. As he wanted to retire, Douglas Edmunds of
Scotland, a former contender, took over the position. David Webster is
still very involved in organizing this competition -- he is the secretary of
the International Federation of Strength Athletes (IFSA). These two men are
responsible of inviting the competitors and choosing the events.
Last year, these two and representatives of the competitors formed a
governing body called the IFSA. The IFSA is organizing it's first European
Championships to be held in Helsinki Finland on 18 May 1996. The IFSA is
working with BBC and TWI to organize the World's Strongest Man competition
later this year.
I cannot supply the address of IFSA because I haven't got it. If it's really
important, I can give the phone number of Mr. Edmunds (President of IFSA).
Last updated: 3-26-1996
The info in section 8 was supplied by Mr. Ilkka Kinnunen, head of the
Scandinavian IFSA.

Jaffa Staff - Stargate
As part melee-weapon, part plasma cannon, the Star Gate Jaffa staff perfectly blends the arcane with the technologically advanced -- always an admirable combination for a science fiction weapon. The weapon first appeared in the 1994 Stargate film, wielded by Ra's forces to subjugate the natives. The Jaffa Staff can be used as a blunt instrument in close quarters, but its coolest feature is the mechanical tip, which protracts to fire a single shot of plasma. A direct impact with a Jaffa Staff blast likely means death, with glancing blows resulting in severe burns.

Last week NBA basketball player LeBron James was allegedly the victim of a racial slur being spray painted on the gate of his Los Angeles home…Presumably by a racist white redneck.
But after no evidence was found of the supposed "racist graffiti" the NBA star may now be caught in a Hate Crime hoax.
First of all: LeBron James' home is in Brentwood Los Angeles— which is an extremely affluent area… What are a bunch of low-life white racist rednecks doing there in the first place???
Here is a picture of the oppressed black man's home:
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) demands that Donald Trump apologize to the NBA player after the "recent increase in hate crimes committed" against African Americans since Trump became President.
The NAACP statement and apology request:
We are deeply troubled and disturbed by the heinous acts of racism that occurred on Wednesday. Leaving a noose—a symbol and weapon of hate—in front of the (museum) and vandalizing the home of NBA superstar LeBron James underscore the recent increase in hate crimes committed against African Americans under the Trump administration.
The NAACP will not sit idly while our people continue to be assailed by racist and cowardly actions. Furthermore, we call on the Trump Administration to stand up and speak out against these attacks.
Writer for Outkick The Coverage Clay Travis—who spoke to the Los Angeles police department—broke down the evidence:
What we know so far:
- At 6:44 am on Wednesday morning, the day before the NBA Finals began, someone called police to report an incident of racist graffiti at LeBron James's house.
- When police arrived the alleged racist graffiti had already been painted over and police were, according to the LAPD, provided a photo of what the graffiti on the gate had looked like.
- There is no surveillance video of the alleged crime and the picture has not been publicly released.
The graffiti "racial slur" was painted over before the LA police arrived
Why would you erase incriminating evidence before you report a crime to the police?
Now, before we move forward, it's important to remember that LeBron James endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016. He's also shilled himself out in commercials for Obamacare, which he was probably paid to do. LeBron has made his stance clear: he sides with the establishment.
Okay, back to the evidence.
We know that the police were called at 6:44 am, that's very early hours in the morning and it doesn't give somebody much time to paint over the graffiti – also it would only had been about an hour of daylight at that time.
Did they also just so happen to have the exact right color of paint lying around too?
If graffiti was spray painted and quickly removed… how do we even know this "hate crime" even happened at all? Is word-of-mouth "evidence"?
The gate of the NBA star's home:
There is no security camera footage according to the LAPD spokesperson.
First of all: Since when does an athlete, celebrity and best basketball player in the world living in a $21 million mansion not have a Security camera system aimed at the front gate of his house?
Like many celebrity's LeBron employs security guards to protect him and his family…Yet he doesn't have security cameras outside his mansion?
The culprit would have been quickly identified and the crime would have been solved. Or maybe he does have security cameras but they just so happened to be not working on the night when the alleged crime took place?
Essentially, there is no proof for we, the public, proving this hate crime even happened.
So we have no security camera footage of the perpetrator committing the crime and the only "evidence" we even have for proof that this crime even happened at all is word-of-mouth—since the real evidence (the graffiti) was erased before the police even arrived onto the scene. If you feel that you are a victim of a hate crime, you could contact Brown Bradshaw criminal defense lawyers who specialise in this area.
This could be another case of a fake Hate Crime. Many (hundreds) of the so-called "Hate Crimes" committed by racist white people (post Donald Trump's election) have turned out to be fake: See fake hate crime database here.

A 35-foot whale from a deep water species rarely found near shore was found dead on a beach in Point Reyes National Seashore on Monday, according to the Marine Mammal Center.
A team of 11 scientists responded Monday from the Marin County-based center, as well as the California Academy of Sciences and the National Park Service, to investigate an adult Baird's beaked whale found on Point Reyes' North Beach.
A necropsy on the severely degraded carcass of the whale found evidence of extensive hemorrhaging near vertebrae on its left side as well as a severed fluke, indicating a possible vessel strike, Marine Mammal Center officials said.
The Baird's beaked whale is the first of its species that the center has responded to in its 41-year history, and National Marine Fisheries Services records show less than a dozen of the whales have ever been reported stranded on California, Oregon and Washington shorelines.
"Beaked whales are a very interesting family of toothed whale that mostly live off the continental shelf edge, foraging in deep canyons to feed on squid," Dr. Padraig Duignan, the center's chief pathologist, said in a statement.
"The opportunity to perform a necropsy on such a unique animal that we rarely have the opportunity to examine will help contribute to our baseline data on the species," Duignan said.
Researchers from the San Francisco-based California Academy of Sciences collected bone samples for further study and scientists plan on performing a follow-up evaluation on Thursday to determine the sex of the whale and whether any vertebrae were broken.
Anyone who sees a sick or injured marine mammal is asked to call the Marine Mammal Center at 415-289-7325 and should maintain a safe distance and keep their dogs away.

To the Editor:
Sol Wachtler, Chief Judge of New York State and author of ''Grand Juries: Wasteful and Pointless'' (Op-Ed, Jan. 6), knows that the state, through its police force and offices of the district attorneys, has replaced the king as the abusive force against which the grand jury must stand as the protector of the rights of a defendant charged with a serious felony.
While the prosecutor conducts the presentation of a case before a grand jury, a defendant may choose to testify, and may ask the grand jury to call witnesses on his or her behalf and to consider evidence not put before it by the prosecutor. In the Bronx, where I have practiced as a criminal defense lawyer for the Legal Aid Society for three years, approximately two-thirds of those cases in which our clients choose to testify are dismissed outright by the grand jury, or the charges are reduced to less serious misdemeanors.
Experience teaches that grand juries, composed of ordinary citizens, are capable of evaluating the testimony of defendants, complaining witnesses and police officers with far less cynicism than judges or prosecutors. Hailing from the very communities where the crimes charged are alleged to have taken place, these citizens can see through charges instituted for personal revenge, blackmail or as a result of human error.
And, subject to a police force no less racist than the police in Boston (who were ready to arrest a person of color without scrutinizing the evidence that pointed to the culpability of a white man in the Charles Stuart affair), they are able to balance the credibility of defendants against that of police officers who often will stretch the truth, when they are not lying outright, to justify an arrest motivated by racial or economic prejudice, or by the simple arrogance of law-enforcement personnel toward the average citizen of Bronx County.
Indeed, it is my opinion that more defendants would exercise their right to testify before the grand jury were their lawyers more willing to take the time to present their cases (they do not because, in the Bronx, the Office of the District Attorney maintains an archaic and inefficient grand jury system that can tie up witnesses and defense counsel for hours, if not days), and were they not faced with the threat that unrelated previous criminal records would be brought to the attention of the grand jury by prosecutors more interested in obtaining an indictment than in seeing justice done.
Nor would replacing the grand jury system with preliminary hearings presided over by those same cynical judges (often former prosecutors) preserve the rights of defendants. Faced with conflicting police and defendant testimony in suppression hearings conducted every day in the Criminal and Supreme Courts of New York State, these judges in the vast majority of cases find police testimony to be credible.
Judge Wachtler recently saw his request for an increase in judicial salaries and for hiring of more judges turned down by Gov. Mario M. Cuomo's administration. Now he apparently wishes for a transfer of funds by eliminating the grand jury system. It would be a gross injustice to those facing indictment to pare their first line of defense, while increasing the funds of the very system against which their need for defense is so self-evident.
New York, Jan. 6, 1990

The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CLOAKS #1 from BOOM! Studios. Caleb Monroe writes, Mariano Navarro draws and Gabriel Cassata colors.
Adam is a young street magician, and a really good one. He also "works the crowd," but he donates his "earnings" to the orphanage he grew up in. He ends up cornered while opening a safe, and gets taken to a mysterious location. He's then promptly recruited (though he's not sure what for) by someone from his past.
This type of story – sneak thief gets hired into shadowy organization – can be a really exciting one if done right. And I think this one is being done right. Adam is far from your usual suspect in this, for example, and he's established as a really likeable character. The organization is a major mystery point, too, and then there's the surprise character at the end (no spoilers here). The nice art does a great job of helping to build the illusions along the way.
One thing comics doesn't have many of is the modern-day, mundane adventure mystery (without tons of violence, anyway). This book has a wide-open market in that regard, and it looks like it will fill the gap very well. And have some fun along the way.
CLOAKS #1 is available now at your FLCS or at boom-studios.com.

Last year (2010), in August, I was engaged as one of the authors to write the recently released, "Linux System Administration, LPI Certification Level 1" manual. The training manual has been released under a creative commons license and is free for users to redsitribute and use.
Besides myself the other authors were Chris Brown, author of the O'Reilly book "Suse Linux" and Brian Ssennoga a system administrator from Uganda. The book was officially launched at the recent e-learning conference held in Tanzania.
Lowering Barriers to Linux Training and Certification in Africa
The thinking behind creating a free book for LPI training was to lower the cost of training LInux administrators in Africa as the commercial book available can be cost prohibitive. The material that was available under GNU or other open source type licenses were outdated as they had been prepared for the older LPI curriculum and needed to be updated. We did build ont he content of these previous materials
The book was written over an extremely short period as it needed to be ready for some scheduled training that was due to take place in October 2010. I am sure there are many places for improvement and it is hoped that many people from around the world will contribute back by adding to and correcting the content where needed.
The development of the book was sponsored by the [email protected] project. It can be downloaded here.

HOOKER ZOMBIES [HO$] is founded by madam Chan (Chandradawn) years ago. We have a history running well and get into TOP3 war points alliance several times. I (Xingkai) play DZ and join HO$ 4 months ago. I encourage more novices to become better raiders (such as Kitesfear) than me and begin to fight for TOP3 again. zst (contact Dewmorr), E.M(contact Mama Jo) and SON are friendly alliances to us and help us fight for TOP3 somestimes. We'd like to make more people happy. Send PM to the above names if you want to join and we would invite you if you are qualified. DMU (DeathMobile Updated) raider is more welcome.
Let me introduce the benefits compared to other alliance. Then you can know what's the condition when we are the best alliance for novice raider.
More fuel
Are you worry about no fuel to buy WhiteFlag and want to earn fuel from war box? Do you want to get the extra fuel prize? Madam, Kitesfear, me, morr, Anasnuke and others can donate enough WP to get at least TOP4. They are also generous to give medical, bomb and gun to gifted novices. If you are willing to learn, we guarantee you can get war box. Consider you have to get about 800+WP (depends on how intense that round) to get into TOP10 raiders in SON or 1000+WP in L1N. If you are TOP10 (700+WP) raiders when HO$ get TOP3, you can get at less 200 extra fuel prize. (If you can get 1000+WP, of course SON and L1N is best for you. If you can get 700+WP, HO$ and FxU are best for you)
More boost
Do you want to loot unique LR faster? Do you want to craft tons of deadeyes and activity souvenirs cheaper? Tasks and boosts are 4 weeks a circle. We have enough DMU to finish all tasks and buy boost every week including mageboost of 4th week. Only HO$, SON, L1N, FxU, #AP and a few alliances can offer these boost for novices.
More knowledge
Do you want to know how to get gold boxes from terror dome? Do you know exact damage and accuracy out of range? Do you know how many shots make defender counterattack and how noise affect it? Do you know how many shots make defender suppressed? Do you know cover rate of each building? Do you know priority of each factor in raiding or defense? I know the above PvP hidden math.

I've been a huge fan of strawberry lemonade after I tried Odwalla's version when I visited Santa Cruz in 1991. Ever since then, when I'm at a restaurant that offers strawberry lemonade, I'll order it. The weekend's more temperate weather caused a craving. Coupled with the sale on strawberries and lemons at the local market meant it was time for me to make strawberry lemonade.
I knew I wanted a recipe with fresh ingredients only, no concentrates or frozen fruit/ fruit juices – with this parameter in mind, I found the perfect recipe on the internet.
Recipe follows after the jump…
Strawberry Lemonade
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2003
Emeril Live: Louisiana Festivals
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
2 cups cold sparkling water or club soda
Mint sprigs, garnish
Whole strawberries, garnish
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon peel and lemon juice, stir, and remove from the heat. Let cool completely, then strain into a clean pitcher.
In a blender, puree the pint of strawberries and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until well chilled.
Add the sparkling water and stir well. Pour over glasses filled with ice and serve, garnished with mint and strawberries.
Cook's note: I notice that using C&H baker's sugar works out well because it doesn't take the sugar long to dissolve.
Since I keep a pitcher in the fridge for up to three days, I'll leave the sparkling water out and add it right before serving. So I'll pour 1/2 a glass of sparking water then stir in half a glass of the "concentrate". Additionally, because the concentrate is so yummy, if you run out of sparkling water plain old still water works fine.

I'm getting the same error. My environment is:
- CloudBees Docker Build and Publish plugin v1.0
- Jenkins 1.609.1
- Mac OSX
I don't see anywhere that https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ is the default registry for 1.6. When I do Docker login without registry it creates a https://index.docker.io/v1/ in ~/.dockercfg in both 1.6.0 and 1.6.2 (OSX homebrew).
Are you explicitly setting https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ in the registry field in Jenkins?
So seems that for docker https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ is like a private registry and you should prepend it to the image name as in docker push registry-1.docker.io/mydocker/repo
And seems that you get the "Please login prior to push" when you try to push an image that you don't have permissions to push in the hub
Hi Carlos Sanchez, thanks so much for your help. IMO we can close this issue because the problem was related to permissions on DockerHub.
This bug is solved on *docker-build-publish-1.0*.

Silence Hurts
The security and well being of our students and staff is a high priority of Croissant Park Elementary School and the Broward County School District. During times of crisis, communication is vital. Being made aware of potentially dangerous situations is key in keeping our students and school safe. For the past few years, Croissant Park Elementary School and the Broward County School District have been stressing to its students and staff that if they know or hear of something, they have a responsibility to alert the proper authorities.
Whether they speak with our school Principal, Assistant Principal, Guidance Counselor, the Safe School Officer or even leave an anonymous note on a teacher's desk, they must report what they know. Keeping silent doesn't help us, them, or anyone else, in fact, it could allow a bad situation to get even worse. Students, staff, or anyone else may report information about any illegal activity to the Anonymous Reporting/Silence Hurts Tip-line.
The Broward County School District has also established a Hotline. The District's Hotline is another way to provide information to our school and District officials about a potentially dangerous situation. It is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All calls are recorded and Caller ID identifies where the incoming call is originating from. Operators log all the important information, then relay it to the proper authorities (the District's SIU Department and local law enforcement agencies) for follow-up.
Croissant Park Elementary School and the Broward County School District take security very seriously, and any matter our school or District officials are made aware of will be investigated. This Hotline has been established only for individuals to call and report a possible problem. Croissant Park Elementary School encourages anyone wishing to report information about any illegal activity or information about crimes committed or being planned to the District's Emergency/Silence Hurts Hot-line at:
(754) 321-0911
Anyone wishing to file a report may also email information to:
Or via texting 'SBBC' plus the message to CRIMES (274637). Tips are received immediately by the District's Special Investigative Unit/Professional Standards Department, staffed seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Names and contact information remain confidential.
For immediate emergencies, people should continue to use established emergency numbers, including 911.

Loving the Music, Hating the Pirates
January 18, 2011 3 Comments
Loving The Music:
My Heart is Heavy – The Timewriter Simply phenomenally deep, it has been out for a few weeks now but if you have not heard it yet you are missing something great and possibly living under a rock.
I feel You – Joel Alter Beautiful moving deep feel with wonderful vocals that come together flawlessly with a deep bass line.
I might – Fran, Oliver Koletzki – Murat Kilic Remix What can I say, I just love the groove and sound of this song. Deep, simple, moving.
Rising – Silt Deep house with a splash of get up and dance. Addictive and beautiful!
Morning Gold – The Messenger – Alvaro Hylander Remix Ok I know I am a bit bias but I have really enjoyed this song since he first started working on it in the studio. Deep, invigorating with the smoothness of pulp free orange juice, and it gets stuck in my head everytime I even hear a snippet of it. The Original is great as well (as to be expected by The Messenger) as is the other remix on the EP by Marcello Nassi.
Now to the Pirates. I always thought of them more as a joke, guys with dirty beards, ugly eye patches and talking parrots. Now I realize though that pirates should not be taken so lightly, especially the ones helping to ruin the music industry. We live in a digital age where everyone wants the latests and greatest things out there as fast as possible and for free if they can get it. Pirates, digital media pirates that is, are doing their best to provide exactly that. It comes at a cost though that is beyond what most people even stop to consider. What does it hurt to download a few (or a few hundred) songs for free? One of the largest arguments I see online to why pirating music is ok, is that the music industry is greedy and it does not hurt the artists. Point in fact, that might fly with huge music companies that mass produce and brainwash the average teenager and yippie. But what if you are into underground music, electronic or indy or other some such genre? Can anyone actually delude themselves into thinking that by illegally downloading music it does not hurt the record labels and more so the artists? The labels that work hard to bring you new music to groove to (which involves countless hours and work)? The producers and artists that spend hours upon hours making the music, not to count the years they have spent working towards bettering their musical skills? To the illegal downloader, there is no thought what so ever as to how much work and often love has been put into the music they download, with no show of appreciation to those who make it possible to have the music in the first place. Trust me, Independent music labels on average are not rich, and every time you download a song opposed to paying the mere 2€, you are hurting the labels, the artists and helping bring down the independent music world as a whole. At this point, we all have to wonder why nothing has really stopped this ongoing virus. My theory is that smaller, more unique, independent labels do not have the money or the clout to get it changed. So why aren't the big wigs in the music world not doing anything to stop it? Simple, it may hurt them a little but even better it makes it practically impossible for small labels to get successfully on their feet, wiping out all competition. So in 20 years, when all the music there is to listen to is what we are feed by capitalistic, homogenous, corporate minds, we can thank all the people who thought it would just be cheaper to download music for free.
So please, Support the artists and labels you love buy purchasing their music 🙂

Unlimited MILFs review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 02/06/2014
Young women are desirable enough as they are, but let them stew a while, gaining invaluable experience and aging to a higher plane of physical, emotional, intellectual, and sexual maturity. Then and only then can a promising young woman truly be said to have blossomed. The ladies of Unlimited MILFs blossomed some time ago. Now in their late-30s, 40s, even 50s, these mature harlots have worked enough young studs to not only know which end is up, but how to blow the minds of every man alive. That, folks, is the benefit of experience and reason enough not to discourage young female promiscuity. (Pfft - as if we needed a reason!) Unlimited MILFs promises on its tour pages to deliver exclusive hardcore content starring "the hottest MILFs on the planet," and to do it often enough to satisfy you, should you pay the required $29.95 monthly membership fee and head inside for a world of lightly wrinkled, slightly sagging, pleasure-administering middle-aged hotties. Will Unlimited MILFs and its allegedly exclusive collection of smutty aunts, moms, teachers, stepmoms, and friends' moms, all of whom seem only slightly more eager for virile young men than they do in lesbian and threesome scenes for each other. Does Unlimited MILFs hold unlimited pleasures? Let's find out.
The pornstars appearing here in Unlimited MILFs' movies are the best, brightest, and longest lasting women in the industry: sultry brunette Kendra Secrets, redhead classic porn vixen Brittany O'Connell, gangbangin' India Summer, Priya Anjali Rai, anal fiend Diana Prince, bustacious Kiara Mia, and everyone's favorite curvy Asian cougar, Jessica Bangkok are among the performers.
Taken from 64 DVDs from different New Sensations and Digital Sin series from Amazing MILF Racks to Your Mom Made Me Cum, Unlimited MILFs' archive offers ample variety. Fans out aggressive porn will enjoy the occasional gangbangs and DPs while the FFM threesomes, POV scenes, and sultry cougar seductions will surely please all other MILF-lovers.
Unlimited MILFs now offers High Definition videos that can be streamed or downloaded at peak 1024x576p resolutions along with more manageable sizes in a few formats. Photo galleries accompany all scenes and boast around 80 1024px shots each, whether viewed online or zipped and downloaded.
All Unlimited MILFs members gain far more than simple access to this one site and its 230 scenes. The entire New Sensations network and its 22 additional sites, from Jizz Bomb to Stretched Out Snatch, from Busty College Coeds to Squirting 101, provide a huge range of high quality bonus porn and make membership even more enticing.
Only 22 scenes were added to Unlimited MILFs during the twelve months of 2013. And without a single update to show for itself so far in 2014, it seems like Unlimited MILFs is dying a very, very slow and protracted demise. Hopefully a revitalization effort is just around the corner, because when Unlimited MILFs was firing red-hot it was amazing.
While it's handy to have the option of browsing DVDs here and not only individual scenes, it's quite disappointing to select a DVD based on the cover girl, the cast list, or a trusted director only to find one, maybe two scenes are available, the others having been shipped off to other New Sensations sites where the webmasters feel they'll be more appropriately used.
The MILFs of Unlimited MILFs do such an incredible job writhing around on their newly befriended cocks that it's easy to ignore the fact that a number of women seen here hardly qualify for MILF status. Take the barely-31 Capri Cavalli or 30-year-old Abbey Brooks as examples, or Tasha Reign, Angel Vain, and Jessi Palmer, all of whom are listed as being in their 20s.
Very few Unlimited MILFs scenes are available in High Definition resolutions with most falling far short and reaching only 640x480 pixels. These predominantly older scenes also suffer from washed--out colors, cramped aspect ratios, and thinner sound.
First things first: Any site operating under the name Unlimited MILFs shouldn't let itself lapse into numerous periods of inactivity and have nothing at all to show for a year more than a month old already. If Unlimited MILFs were to reinvigorate its update schedule with weekly installments, there's every reason to believe this site could roar to the top of any MILF-related website ranking worth a shit. Until some improvements have been made, though, Unlimited MILFs fails to live up to its potential and even risks embarrassing its parent network a little. That said, seeing India Summer throw herself at the mercy of four fiercely erect guys and be thoroughly worked over before taking in a more sedate Julia Ann scene in which she proves her sultriness and sex-positive attitude have only increased with age, well that's still a highly arousing and very enjoyable experience as offered only by Unlimited MILFs.

Calo utilizes a relationally based milieu where staff provides nurturance, safety, healthy intimacy, logical and natural consequences, and relational repair, to create experiences of empathy, connection, and attunement. The staff to student ratio is 1 (staff) to 3 (students) where there is consistency of relationship and opportunity for connection, break, and repair.
Though staff is trained to avoid breaks in the relationship (student recreating shame) to provide experiences of unconditional value, they are skilled at avoiding any means of punitive intervention. Due to the emotional needs of the students, punitive interventions are not implemented as well as any form of level system, point system, or token economy. The Calo clinical model establishes that the most important clinical work is done in the milieu portion of treatment. While all aspects of treatment are important, Calo believes the milieu provides the environment, and metaphoric experiences that students need in order to make internalized change.
Motivation and compliance come from the implementation of physical safety, emotional regulation, and consistency with natural and logical consequences. When a student becomes a safety risk to himself/herself or others, then Closeness will be provided by the staff. Calo implements relational "Time-Ins" versus isolative "Time-Outs". Closeness is a significant intervention for developing intersubjectivity and building those neuropath ways which indicate that authority figures are safe and reliable and that life doesn't have to be dictated by the fear of rejection, abandonment, abuse, etc. This relationship with the staff begin to be transferred to the parents/guardians where they participate in weekly family therapy, family visits every 4-6 weeks, involvement with Parent Retreats, Parent Seminars, and eventually home visits. The relationship with the parents is an integral part of treatment. Parents work in conjunction with the primary therapist to receive their own training on Attachment and Trauma and resolving their own issues in order to be present and accepting of their own child.
Besides the many hours a student will live and function in the milieu, the student also experiences weekly individual, family, group, recreational, and canine therapy. These therapies are all designed to give the student skills, tools, insight and awareness to better trust, regulate and practice in the milieu and then transfer such experiences home.
Individual & Family Therapy
Weekly individual and family therapy is conducted by the treating therapist. At times a crisis or impasse may change the frequency of therapy. Therapy is conducted by therapists who have a master's degree or higher. Interventions and modalities are consistent with Calo's clinical model and are tailored to meet individual student and family needs. Calo therapists utilize cutting edge resources such as Neurofeedback and transferrable attachment with canines.
Group Therapy
Research has shown that group therapy with adolescents is highly effective; primarily because adolescents pay overwhelming attention to their peer group and try to emulate group behavior. During adolescence, the persuasion of the peer group is often far more influential than parental advice and direction. Due to the importance of the peer component to treatment, Calo students are exposed to a variety of group therapies. Groups led by therapists are often more formal, specializing in clinical topics or issues. Staff or student led accountability groups, power groups, or transition groups are also very helpful in keeping the student community honest, open, and regulated.
Family Participation
Calo believes in a systemic approach to treatment. The family system and especially the role of parents/guardians is critical in helping students find a secure base of healthy relationships and long-term success. As a result, Calo encourages families to visit every 6-8 weeks. During these visits, as well as during family therapy sessions, family relationships and parenting are directly coached. Each student is also eligible for a weekly telephone call with parents. These phone calls are intentionally less supervised and provide an opportunity for students and families to interact genuinely.
