Hiya guys, this is my first story time posting a story so try to be gentle. I might mistakes here and then but tell to fix it and I will if it will help. I want to be a writer and I see this as a practice so if you can help me in anyway, please do !
~~~~~~~ I hugged my mother for what be the millionth time; I couldn't help it though, imagine leaving the one person who has loved you through every stupid mistake you ever made. The one person who was there from day one even when she didn't understand what was happening with her daughter. And even when her husband left her because he knew his daughter's black magic would bring trouble and didn't want to be part of, but she stayed .
I kissed her cheeks and whispered,"Promise me you won't let him hurt them, promise me?" She nodded once, stroked my reddish hair and told me to take care. And just like that she was gone and I was left to take care of myself but that wasn't exactly true, I had my David.
As we started to fade out from everything we loved, I look up at him- he was a lot taller than, as i was 5 ft 7 and him being 6 ft 4- wanting him to tell it was going to be okay, that we didn't just leave everyone we knew but instead, a tear escaped burning it's way to the ground. Traitor.
I blinked it back and as I was starting to turn away ashamed, he cupped my face. I though he was going give, I wanted him to so that the pain of leaving my five days old twins would at least stop hurting as much as it. So that the fire would cool down but he didn't kiss me, not where I wanted him to anyways. He kisses my forehead and wrapped his arm around me.
My Thyia and Drew would be just fine, how could they not be? They would taken of by the women who took care of me, the most forgiven, amazing being and I was more than proud to call her my mother but deep down I couldn't help wondering. Unlike David I was sick with worry and ever since I found out that I had to leave them, that what if game danced around my mind and wouldn't take a break.
What if ? What if we were normal? What if I could stay and David and I could argue about stupid human things like bills and who going to what ? What I didn't have part black magic in me and what if I was safe, king pure breed like David? These question along with 20 million more wouldn't leave me which is why I wrote them letter so that when they turn 16, when they would need us most, David and I would be there in some shape or form.
My beloved Thyia and Drew,
I cannot believe what God has blessed me. My babies so beautiful in every way and today you turn 16. Today, you can be what you were born as, today you can take of the mask and turn into your true colour. You must be confused so let me start by telling who I am.My name is Julie Lee Carter, we share we the last name because I am your mother. Before you judge me or tore this paper into little pieces, hear me out. Your father, David Lee Carter and I didn't want to leave you but I guess we don't always get what we want. You, my children, are witches. On his/her 16th birthday can she/he use their power and today you must discover yours. You may not want it but you don't have a choice: This is who you are and I hope you can learn to love it like we did. You are different like me, you are unique and can use never seen before black magic but unlike me, you are even more unique. you are twins and your strength and power together is amazing. The only two people like you were killed the day they we born, 10000000 years ago but I won't let that happen to you: Which again is the reason why we left. To protect you. They don't even you are alive and for them to know, they need your father and I which is why we aren't with you.You will find this hard and sometimes confusing but don't lose who you are. Remember we have every faith in you and we will always be there just like we are. I love you so much and I hope in the next life, we can see each other. Take care.
Your parents,
Julie and David Lee Carter.
I know this isn't long but chapter will be longer and please feedback >3333

:( anyone?
Ahh this seams so sad.
You amaged to capture her emotions on leaving her mother very nicely.
I like the phrase
"a tear escaped burning it's way to the ground. Traitor."
it seemed to sum up her emotions.
Best wishes

Nexplanon / Implanon Birth Control Implant
Posted 10 April 2012 - 07:45 AM
I have had acne since puberty. Tried the usual treatments of tetracyclines, benzol peroxide, bcp, as well as any fancy treatment system I could get my hands on.
Eventually went on Accutane, which was a godsend. My skin has aged a lot since accutance, and I now have big pores and some scars. But it was worth it: the accutane brought my acne down 95% and was definitely worth it. Since then, I have been on twice daily finacea, which dampens the number of small whiteheads and blackheads I still get. Since I still get flares at irregular points, my doctor has put me on Trimethoprim 200mg/day for 2 months to see if we can tip the balance.
Because of frequent travelling and headaches, I decided to try the birth control implant. I read many user reviews, looked at clinical trial data, and talked to my doctor and gynecologist. My doctors agreed that there was a small chance that my acne might reoccur. I'm still in the "settling in" phase for the implant, and have been told it will take at least a few months for my body to get use to it.
2 weeks in, and no big breakouts yet.
I would really like for this to work, since not having to take a pill every day is awesome. Plus, unlike IUDs, this can't be knocked out of place and doesn't feel uncomfortable.
Does anyone have experience with acne recovery and the implant? Any success stories out there?
Posted 05 February 2013 - 10:10 AM
how is this working for you? i was thinking about getting this inserted.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 01:04 PM
Nexplanon is bad news for acne, for most women.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 02:56 PM
good to know green gables. i am trying to figure out the birth control thing with going on accutane. i might just get the copper iud.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 04:58 PM
good to know green gables. i am trying to figure out the birth control thing with going on accutane. i might just get the copper iud.
I use that myself, I would recommend it. Any implant takes some getting used to though (bad bleeding and cramps first 3 months), but now I don't even notice it's there
Posted 12 February 2013 - 09:44 AM
thanks for the info and the bad bleeding and cramping are the exact reason i have been so hesitant to get the iud. i am finally to the place where my periods are a lot lighter and i dont get cramps anymore so it will be hard to get used to that.

Read My Lips, Baby
Listening may not be the only way your baby is learning to talk—he's watching you too!
The Scoop
Just how do babies learn how to talk? Conventional wisdom has had it for years that listening to sounds, words, and conversations are what trigger babies to go from babbling to forming distinct consonants, and finally, saying short words. But now researchers from Florida Atlantic University have discovered that there may be an important visual component to babies' early language acquisition in the form of lip-reading.
How do they do it? Right around the 6-month mark, a time when many babies begin to make their first recognizable sounds (in the form of babbling), Florida researchers found that infants shifted their attention from gazing into the eyes of the person speaking to them to studying their mouths. After observing more than 180 babies, researchers found that increased focus on mouths lasted only until they babies began speaking in distinct consonants and words themselves.
"The baby in order to imitate you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing," explains developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of FAU, who led the study. "It's an incredibly complex process."
Your Baby
As if you needed more evidence that quality face time with your little one is important for speech development, why not do a little experiment of your own and make sure your baby can see you as well as hear you the next time you read a story or point to something interesting while out on a walk?
Researchers also say the study may be helpful for early identification of speech problems and even autism. It was also noted that babies continued to "lip-read" if they were hearing a foreign language, offering further insight into how bilingual babies master two languages at once.

Prizewinner at the 2010 Royal Over-Seas League Competition, the Finzi Quartet has turned to its namesake for this, its first release. It's a less natural repertoire choice than it seems at first glance, given that the British composer published no string quartets and only two pieces containing this grouping. Both of those pieces are here: the Interlude for oboe and string quartet and the song-cycle By Footpath and Stile, the first of Finzi's many Hardy settings. The performance of the latter is more engaging, not only because the Interlude itself can seem unfocused as it unfolds, but also because the players reflect the cycle's preoccupations with loss and separation especially richly.
Also included are the Romance and Prelude, in arrangements by Christian Alexander. Despite its miniature proportions, the Prelude makes an impact in this performance, with sweetly soaring lines and piquant false relations. Such is the expressive intimacy in the larger-scale Romance that we don't miss the string-orchestra sonority; there's an ardent quality to the playing and a fitting evocation of that quintessentially English sense of nostalgia laced with regret.
The Elegy, originally for violin and piano, also transfers well to the quartet medium, as do most of the Five Bagatelles (here for clarinet and quartet), though their jaunty outer numbers inevitably lack a little bite by comparison. This is a must for Finzi fans, but also for those whose reservations have previously been provoked by cloying string textures.

The Count never had a problem when the whole "sex sells" thing hit sports. Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney was one his earliest crushes. Then came Dororthy Hamill. Then Jan Stephenson, because really, when you get right down to it, what's hotter than a girl talking about a manifold, or a flying camel, or a 5-iron off the pine tree? And I realize by now you're all wondering: Does every one of the Count's dream girls date back to the Dust Bowl? Well, yeah. Especially now. The epitome of the "sex sells" sports tours just folded. I mean, if hot, sweaty girls in bikinis on the beach can't sell, what possible chance does the WNBA have? We count down . . .
10. Bye bye to the AVP (that's volleyball) and their dancers
Maybe it was the name. The Association of Volleyball Professionals just didn't work, but I guess AVP figured "Hot Babes in Bikinis" was too obvious. The league just folded. It didn't really have teams, as in cities, but the tour passed through Atlanta. A news release on the tour's website reads: The AVP Tour today announced it has closed its doors due to financial hardship, cutting short the 2010 season. The AVP has been unsuccessful at finding new investors," which is stunning. I mean, tanning products, strip clubs, bars, strip clubs, any place where guys frequent, strip clubs — nobody would buy ads? The AVP did everything but have mud wrestling between matches. (Wait a minute. I think I just figured out what could get me to a WNBA game . . .)
9. The girls in bikins had bikini'd cheerleaders
The AVP didn't stop at women competitors in itsy-bitsy suits. The tour had an entire AVP dance team wearing itsy-bity suits. They could've scratched ticket sales altogether, filmed the matches in a studio and put it online with one of those "secure" webpage fronts that read: "Are you 18? Click here" (wink, wink)."
As of now, the AVP will be closing the doors," the tour said in an e-mail to its players from CEO Jason Hodell and commissioner Mike Dodd. "It is with a heavy heart that we must tell you that despite a valiant effort by all and a flurry of investor interest, we have been unable to secure the necessary financing to continue the season." But if they couldn't sell this, this might be a good time to get out of sales.
8. The must-see fight: Holyfield vs. Canseco
Just a few days after 47-year-old Evander Holyfield confirmed his next fight, Jose Canseco one-upped him. He just signed with the United Baseball League's Laredo Broncos, a team so low that even Jordan Schafer's not there yet. The assumption is that Canseco, 46, needs the money. TMZ reported (I use that loosely) that he has been evicted from the Los Angeles home he was rented. Apparently, helping uncover steroid use in baseball doesn't pay that well. According to a story in the Laredo Morning Times: "Canseco, who played 17 years in [the major leagues], will play designated hitter and fill in as bench coach and spot pitcher for the Broncos." This should be priceless YouTube video forthcoming. Canseco already has been clocked by MMA giant Hong Man Choi and more recently was outboxed by a 60 year old. But we here The Countdown wish Mr. Canseco and all of his personalities well. We've called the great Marty Robbins back from the great beyond for this special sendoff:
7. Bobby Petrino doesn't have a sense of humor? Who knew?
There are a few things that generally come natural to members of the sports media, and by sports media I mean people who actually took a journalism class at some point in their life, can put together complete thoughts without the aid of 64 Crayolas and did not hone their craft after guzzling a six-pack of Old Milwaukee at 2 a.m. by posting anonymous nonsensical ramblings under such screen names as GODZILLADOGG74!!!! Anyway, one thing a media type shouldn't do is wear a hat or shirt representing an opposing team (or any sports team, for that matter). Now, that said: Is it a fireable offense? No. Which leads to reason No. 879 why Bobby Petrino is a dirt bag. Below, you'll see video of a Petrino news conference. He's taking a question from an Arkansas radio personality, whose station's allegiances are fairly clear (name: "Hog Sports Radio"). It turns out Ms. Renee Gork was wearing a Florida Gators hat when she asked the question. Petrino actually answered the question, then told Gork he wouldn't answer another question from her as long as she was wearing that hat. Well, when Petrino speaks, apparently the entire state shakes because Gork was fired. Gork, a Florida alum, said she only grabbed the hat at home because it was raining. "If I'd really thought he was serious and was very upset and mad at the situation I would have taken it off," she said. "I really did think it was a joke and just kind of a jab. It wasn't until after the press conference that one of the [media relations staff] members told me it wasn't." Here's the thing. She was wrong. But to lose your job over it? Quarterback Ryan Mallett saw the hat and made a joke of it. Petrino, as we know, doesn't have a sense of humor. Or a sense of much else.
6. Dumb Media Story No. 2
Apparently two other members of the media committed cardinal sin No. 1: They were honest on their expense account. Wait. What I meant to say was they committed cardinal sin No. 2: They asked for an autograph. A writer and photographer, reportedly from Cincinnati but still unidentified as The Count went to post, asked Tim Tebow for autographs in the locker room after the Denver Broncos' exhibition game Sunday night. Tebow obliged (of course) and then a Broncos PR person kicked them out. In this case, the rest of the media would've supported a public stoning. On a related note, Petrino tried to fire the writer and photographer but it turned out Ohio was outside of his jurisdiction.
5. Jim Mora given a microphone (this won't end well)
Given his general lack of people skills, leadership ability, emotional stability, vision and occasionally common sense — that about covers it — The Count doubts Jim Mora ever will be an NFL head coach again. But his next career venture could prove interesting. Fox just named Mora, the former Falcons and Seattle coach, as an analyst on the network's No. 3 broadcast team. There's no word on which of Mora's partners, Dick Stockton and Charles Davis, is responsible for holding the fire extinguisher. But here's something worth noting: Fox is carrying 13 of the Falcons' 16 games (including the Dec. 19 game against Seattle). Odds are Mora will be working at least one of the games. Maybe he can interview Arthur Blank at halftime, and Blank can ask Mora if he ever landed that gig at Washington.
4. Johnson blew it, but PGA blew it more
Congratulations to the PGA, which not only is is suffering from declining ratings (thanks in part to Tiger Woods' career plummet) but managed to turn one of its majors into a sideshow. Yes, Dustin Johnson did a stupid thing by grounding his club in a bunker (assuming that was a bunker because that looked a lot like Fred Sanford's front yard). Seriously, that course in Wisconsin was a joke. And would it have been so wrong for an official to remind Johnson, "That's a bunker"? So now the Tour has to live with a disastrous ending to one of its signature events. Who's fault is that?
3. The Real HouseTwits Invade Falcon-land
I realize Kroy Biermann is just a simple dude from Hardin, Montana (population: 3,384) and this whole concept of "celebrity life" is probably really cool to him. But dude — careful here. The Falcons' defensive end, as you may have heard, is dating Kim Zolciak from another one of those braincell-burning reality shows ("Real House Wives of Atlanta") that screams to the rest of the world: "Hey, look how stupid we are." Now, what Kroy wants to do in his personal life is Kroy's business, even if what Kim does with her personal life has been pretty much everybody's business (feel free to Google; I just washed my hands and I think I went blind). But when it starts to potentially affect the Falcons' season, that's something else, and Ms. Z showed up at Falcons' practice Monday in Flowery Branch. Fortunately, there were no Bravo TV cameras with her or hidden in the trees, as far as anybody can tell. This would be a good time for Blank to beef up security. This organization has had enough TMZ moments.
2. Rodriguez punches a grandfather (not a save opportunity)
In further proof that even God likes a good New York Mets joke once in a while, reliever Francisco Rodriguez apparently suffered a torn thumb ligament on his pitching hand after punching the father of his baby momma. The funniest remark may have come from manager Jerry Manuel, who said: "We seem to continue to have difficulties in having these type of injuries or setbacks." Question: How many decades was Manuel covering? Of course, we have heard nothing from baseball commissioner Bud Selig, who presumably is napping. Think NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might be issuing a fine, a suspension or maybe leg chains? Rodriguez' injury might crack the top 10 of all-time sports injuries, but No. 1 is safe: Former NFL quarterback Gus Frerotte head-butted a padded concrete wall after a touchdown. He suffered a sprained neck, a concussion and a lifetime of humiliation.
1. Slumber time . . .
Did you know that bats can hibernate for over six months? Fear not, it shouldn't be that long. But The Count is going night-night for a while. The football season and Weekend Predictions are almost upon us, and there's room for only so many hallucinations in one week. We hope we've added a few laughs to your Tuesdays.

Great read, Jeff.
And I completely agree that the PGA really blew it. Not helping their cause, that's for sure. I'm just glad he didn't sink the putt for the "win"… that would've been a really awkward conversation telling him that he didn't actually win.

Jeff, I think you missed a major point on why the AVP Crocs Tour (see, they had a sponsor) folded…I went to the tournament in Atlanta a few years ago and it was a packed house (esp. for the finals on sunday). The faces of the female side of it (main draw) were Misty May and Kerry Walsh, they both took time away from that tour to start their family lives, which meant they were going to miss at least 1 full season maybe more. Ever since they stopped playing (I think it was 2 years ago), attendance on this tour started to drop. They had nobody equal to advertise around, and lets face it…even someone who doesn't follow sports like World Cup or Olympics has heard of Misty May and Kerri Walsh who are 2 time gold olympic champs in beach volleyball.

I heard that the count is involved with some sort of fantasy league and cannot be trifled with such distracting appearances for the football season. It seems that either he or Oscar had won the league championship every year until last season when Elmo took it all by drafting Drew Brees. Word is that Elmo had been talking trash all winter and has taken out a restraining order on Oscar after the green one tried to beat him to death with a rake. … Nice work Jeff. Love the cool photo of Shirley Muldowney. She looks like Penelope Pitstop on that old Saturday morning cartoon.

If there were ever a countdown that needed a click to enlarge feature on its photos, it's this one. Oh well.
I think at this point, Jeff, you can just write dirt bag and we'll know who you mean. It'll save you time and letters.
Kim Z is delicious looking and all, but she is surely a headache. I mean, she was dating another woman about three months ago. There are lots of hot babe options for any NFL player, so Kroy, please find one with less drama, if you know what's good for you.

Funny and entertaining, but I wholeheartedly agree with your more than underlying point about Biermann. If I were the coach or GM I would pull this second string, mountain man aside as say "this city has had enough drama with Vick and Hall in recent years, and the last thing we need right now is to lose focus or have an unnecessary distraction at our practice sessions as we try to propel this team back into the playoffs. No more side shows!"
The above is the diplomatic approach. My approach to Kroy were I his friend or relative would be: "What in the hell is wrong with you, you stupid f___ing idiot? This broad has absorbed the highest variety of sperm since Madonna and do you think she completes you or will make your momma proud?"
Personally, I hope any player this dumb and irresponsible gets cut!

Jeff, absolutely love the stuff – never fails to make me laugh. I'm even forwarding your opening Mutts line to a friend with unfortunate taste in sports teams. But you also provided an inadvertent chuckle shortly after admonishing bloggers for incoherent ramblings when you wrote this: "Given his general lack of people skills, leadership ability, emotional stability, vision and occasionally common sense — that about covers it — The Count …" And yes, I do realize this comment will go wayyyy over the heads of 99.9 of your blogging audience ("He he, he said 'dangling'"), but couldn't pass on the easy jab. Hate to see the Count head into hibernation, but that's a fitting way to check out!

Don't let your disdain for Bobby Petrino cause you to mislead the readers on what happened in Arkansas concerning the reporter for Hog Sports Radio being fired. Hog Sports Radio caved in to numerous fan complaints. Petrino only told her that he wouldn't take another question from her with the hat on and that was the end of it as far as he was concerned. The broadcast station took it a step further. I think it's silly to have fired her, but we all know there would be similar uproars if the same situation happened at other campuses. Imagine if a reporter for the official Florida Gator broadcast outlet showed up at Florida press conference after two-a-days wearing UGA attire or vice versa, or if a reporter with the official Georgia Bulldog media outlet showed up at a UGA post two-a-day press conference with Ga. Tech attire. Or better yet try the same situation at an Auburn/Alabama post practice press conference. I'm sure Saban, Richt, Meyer, et. al. wouldn't appreciate it just as Petrino didn't. Also fans affiliated with those campuses would probably complain just as the folks did at Arkansas.

Anyway, word to Mr Biermann. I know how easy it must be to get sucked into the big life of living in Atlanta and all (I know…….I once owned the town but now I enjoy the peaceful and quiet times living in Jacksonville Beach) but please be careful with this narcissitic piece of tripe. As long as this woman can find someone to buy her act then she will never change.
Anyway Count, I wish you peaceful dreams in your hibernation!

Jeff, it would not hurt you to do a bit of research before you start spouting. The PGA of America runs the PGA Championship and is responsible for the recent debacle. The PGA Tour is a seperate and unconnected organization and runs the PGA Tour. While the PGA Championship is a major golf event it is not a "signature Tour event". I imagine had the Tour actually been running last weeks championship we would not be having this discussion.

Good riddance to stupidity.

Jeff, I don't know about the hibernating-thing with vampires. My wife, after reading the entire "Twilight" book series (and she doesn't like anything "scary") forced me to take her to all three movies to date (only one to go, she promised) (unless more are written, I fear). Anyway, in the first one, a vampire tells the central character that "vampires don't ever sleep." Just thought I'd let you know that . . .
Also, is it just me, or is Jeff getting funnier with age? I predict a stand-up career when he tires of making fun of Canseco.

Well, good to see the Count disappearing for a while. I don't need the competition. I want all the attention right now. See, I'm being exploited. Seems I'm good enough to be the mascot to start another season but not good enough to be in the running to be UGA VIII. So they'll be slapping a can of white paint on my nether parts and trotting me out there on game day, while they tell TV people I'm old and sick. Oh the humanity!—er, Oh the caninity! Or something like that.
Rise up, Dawg fans! While Schultz is preparing to show his bona fides for the 100% Wrong Club for the coming season, write letters and make phone calls demanding Russ's appointment as UGA VIII. You'll feel a lot better about yourself, even if we do end up in Shreveport together in December.

The good thing about Petrino's personality is that it is keeping him out of Georgia and recruiting HS players. HS coaches across the State have pretty much shut the door on Mr. Coward. Arkansas used to do some damage in this state, not any more! In fact, they have all but quit in being taken serious around here.

Why would she apologise to Petrino for wearing her own school colors?
When has Petrino shown loyalty to anything in his snakelike existance?
He's got one of the best QB's in football again this year and again they are going to get killed because he can't do anything with the defense.
For the life of me, I don't get why people think he should be a head coach. He's an OC. He has NO people skills whatsoever. He should be banned from public speaking.
He's not going to bring Arkansas any success they weren't able to attain under Houston Nutt. The guy is a legend in his own mind. His last good year was in the Big East. He's too small time to be big time.

meh, so, if you were a gambler, and gambling were, you know, legal, and you could place a bet on whether or not Teabow would be a successful NFL QB, you would really bet against him?
As a UGA grad, I'm not a Teabow-lover, but Teabow-haters amaze me. He is humble, he loves to play, he has a great attitude (quote: "I'll do anything or play anywhere the coach asks me to"), he is big and fast, can throw the ball, and has a coach who is known for developing QBs.
He won't be the next P Manning, but he can do things Manning can't do. Did you see him run over the safety on his TD last weekend?
I'm one Dawg who will be pulling for him on Sundays.

Jim Mora can't be any worse than Tony Slobagoosey, and his broadcasting crew mates.
Their work in the Falcons vs 49ers game last year, was disgraceful. They should have been fired.

What confuses me is how the UCSB killing spree has made this whole thing revelatory when it should have been something we appreciated as a community all along. Dudes get rejected. It's part of the process. It's part of growing up as a man.
Sex is a mutual act that requires two consenting adults. You will be rejected early and often and usually it's not for any grandiose, particular, extra specific reason: She's just not into you. It sucks and sometimes it hurts, but when the hell did we get to a point where men are justified murdering people over rejection? Where one man can hear about the inadequacies of other men and vindicate a murderous intention?
A term like 'involuntary celibate' is so repulsive and vile and angry in in its implications. It's delusional and void of personal responsibility.
Natalie Dee nails it.
(Source: nataliedee.com)
#YesAllWomen because these comments still exist on local news sites when a woman dares to speak up. The worst insult a man can think of to throw at a woman is to call her a little girl. And if only a woman would have slept with the shooter… As if this were the problem, not his raging sense of entitlement.
Gender violence has occurred with such frequency for so long in this country that many people are no longer alarmed by how common it is. It is the status quo, an unremarkable feature of the social landscape.
What is perhaps even more disturbing is that in this culture, many people see gender violence as a problem of sick or damaged individuals, and not as a social phenomenon that's causes—and solutions—lie in much larger social forces. So let me be clear. There is no such thing as an isolated incident of rape, battering, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment. These are not merely individual pathologies. It is not enough for us to ask in each case: "What went wrong in his life?" "Why would he do something like that?" These problems are much too widespread for us to think about them in such narrow terms.
(via feigenbaumsworld)
Jesus Christ. He stabbed three more in his apartment and did begin at the sorority. And it could have been so much worse.
I'd say it's goddamn connected:
"A disturbing video entitled 'Elliot Rodger's Retribution' was posted to YouTube the day before the shooting. In it, a young man who identifies himself as Elliot Rodger describes his plans to launch an assault targeting women at a sorority house as payback for his life of 'loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires.'
'I will slaughter every stuck up, blonde slut I see inside there … You will finally see that I am in truth the superior one, the true alpha male,' the young man says in the video. He then describes how he plans to 'take to the streets of Isla Vista and slay every single person.'"
The shooter left a YouTube video, which is still up, where he talks of his rejection by women "since puberty" and his desire to punish them for this injustice. He calls himself "a supreme gentlemen" and rants in his BMW about being left a 22-year-old virgin. He talks about how he's such a nice guy, and that we women throw ourselves at lesser men. And that what happened is the fault of we women — his "revenge against humanity" — because no woman wanted to even date him.
I feel sick. Do not let history be rewritten as him being "crazy" and don't let the "not all men" crowd hijack this. Yes, most men won't shoot people because they can't handle rejection, but HE DID. And his motive is quite clear. This video should be left up as an explanation of the fears we have when a man yells at us and calls us bitches over being friendzoned. When a man follows us outside, after we tell him we're not interested. When a man makes it clear he is entitled to our bodies. This video is male entitlement at its most terrifying.
Video link — Elliot Rodger's Retribution
The posters depict gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis as a Barbie doll with a pair of scissors and a plastic fetus in her stomach.
It's just as disgusting as it sounds.
A man tried to burn down an underage girl's house because she refused his sexual advances.
Not all men get violent when rejected, BUT SOME DO. Before this is hijacked by the "not all men" crowd, can we please think about this for a minute? This is the much more extreme version of feeling entitled to a woman's body in some way. The softer, more sinister version is calling women bitches because they refused a drink you bought.
It's catcalling — which is more aptly titled "street harassment" — and telling women to smile on command. It's calling women sluts for having sex with men who are not you. It's whining about the friendzone — you were SO NICE and just can't understand why she won't fuck you. YOU WERE NICE DAMMIT!
It's following women down the street for ignoring you. It's stabbing a classmate to death because she doesn't want to go to prom with you.
And it's trying to burn down a teenage girl's house because you think you're entitled to fuck her whether she likes it or not.
Sometimes you wish you could just flat out punch trolls in the face. Some dude just reblogged a link from my site about the sexualization of middle school girls by Dr. Keith Ablow (a quack psychologist on Fox News) and his rants about girls in leggings, and this wankstain came along and said not only are these girls asking for it, by wearing clothes like that he interprets that as consent.
He's talking about girls who are eleven and twelve. He says he has the right to teach them the consequences of wearing such clothing. This is a young guy not only agreeing with Ablow, but taking it further. I've mixed it up with this troll before but I let it go. Doing that again in part because I don't want to give him page views. I'm pretty sure that he's saying this stuff to get a rise out of others. And then it creeps into my mind, "What if he isn't?"
I feel like I need a shower. /rant
ETA: After I typed this, I went to screencap the bit and he's scaled it back the tiniest amount to say that by wearing such clothes "people" deserve what they get and then tagged it "sluts" and "asking for it" — THESE ARE MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS, YOU SICK FUCK.
I'm using Do Not Link here to share the specific post: http://www.donotlink.com/itZ
His Facebook, because he is saying with his post that middle school girls are asking for rape, and that's more than a little troubling: http://www.donotlink.com/it1
I reported him and I encourage you to as well. His site is full of Islamophobic and misogynistic content.
This is how one University of North Dakota student is handling being called out as a racist. His cover photo is a man in a headdress with the caption "Feel Honored" and he's busy telling Native Americans to "go cry about it over firewater" while threatening to sue a fellow Native American student for defamation because she called him racist.
Real cute.
You. Are. A. Racist. Misogynistic. Twit. Sue me, you crusty wankstain.
Signal boost this shit. Harassing Native and non-Native women for calling you out rightfully is especially deplorable.
This is what I get in reply to answering this ask.
No, actually YOU'RE everything that is destroying America. Classism, racism, violent misogyny, all in one quite angry, hate-filled package.
Guess what? I regret nothing about doing what I have to stay healthy, even if it means accepting benefits from a system we all pay into.
And like the slime you are, you've already oozed back into whatever hellhole birthed you, and deleted your tumblr. No worries. I jacked the URL, just in case it had some kind of special meaning for you. It's now a private blog called "Land Scum". Think of a new URL, and I'll still be here when you resurface.
So many praises for "The Daily Beast" — the most recent "news" outlet to understand my feeble lady brain can only handle fluffy Lady Reads, lest I get the vapors and need my fainting couch!
Oh, we might go bomb some country somewhere and stuff? GAH! TOO MUCH! FETCH ME SOME LADY READS!
The UK arrests a man for harassing a feminist writer online—why is that so surprising?

Lion Keyboard Problems with Version 1.3
By Andreas Schlögel, August 09, 2011
Hello everyone. Most of you have discovered by now that there is a slight problem with your keyboard when you upgrade to Lion!
Roy has posted a 'fix' for this. You will find it in the News section of this site. Please note that this is a fix for a British keyboard only, as that is the only one we have!
He is still pottering away at version 2.0. This will circumvent the need for X11 and therefore won't exhibit some of the problems that many have had. However, it is just pottering at the moment. Unfortunately time is very short in more ways than one! Work, RBC and theocratic things are sapping the hours away. So please be patient with us!
May we also take this opportunity to apologise to everyone who has posted feedback that we just don't have the time to answer. If any of you brothers or sisters out there can help out with answering some of the queries, we would be very grateful.

From MIT Press BITS
The Financial Architect (or, A Brief Economic History of Architecture)
A BIT of Down Detour Road
The new generation of architects faces a cold reality of economic and ecological crises. Architects may assure each other of their own importance, but society has come to view architecture as a luxury it can do without. For Eric Cesal, this recognition becomes an occasion to rethink architecture and its value from the very core. In this BIT, Cesal considers the economics of architecture and why an architect needs to know about finance as well as about buildings.
Purchasers of this MIT Press BIT will also receive a discount code (good on the MIT Press website only) for 40% off the price of the book Down Detour Road, from which this BIT is excerpted. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the order number from your email receipt to receive your discount code.

Cullman County deputies made a second bust at the same RV within just a couple of weeks.
This time around, investigators arrested Jerica Self, Phillip Blackwood, and Donna Townson.
The sheriff said Townson was also arrested during the first bust.
Neighbors called in complaints about the RV off Highway 69 in Cullman County. They told deputies they suspected drug activity because of all the people coming and going from the property.
Deputies said they found meth and three spent meth labs.
The sheriff said the RV basically operates as a drug house.
The sheriff encourages anyone who suspects illegal activity to call his office.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son was extremely frustrated that his seventh grade math was a repeat of what he studied in sixth grade in NH. Parents have ZERO say regarding excused absences - doctor's note only. If you carefully read the attendance policy, you will see that a little bad luck with sickness that needs bed rest instead of doctor's visits could lead to criminal charges and loss of custody of your children. The school district played a large role in our family moving away. The principal to her credit tried to mitigate the idiocy coming from the local school board.
I am a student at North Cumberland Middle School, and it is one of the best I have ever attended. The teachers work hard to help you and make learning fun. They also have awesome class trip s like the Washington DC trip and Quebec trip.
There is a need to keep in contact with teachers and administrators. Children in this school can get lost in the mass of other students. If you keep communications open your child should do ok. You can not let your guard down or you will be disappointed with the school.
I was a student at NCMS and while I dispise the Cumberland public school system, this school is a good one. I liked most of my teachers. They were fun and had different ways of teaching. Without Ms. Matega as my resource teacher I would have never passed my math classes.
I am a student at NCMS, and I can vouch for many of the students and parents when they say this place needs some work. The teachers are narrow-minded and focus on all of the wrong things. The teachers definitely need to come together, and communicate with the students and teachers better.
School lacks individual attention and after school help. Some teachers fail to provide help nor recognize Tactile Learners. Teacher need to educated on different types of learning.

The driver in a fatal crash in Tavernier in May has been jailed on one count each of vehicular homicide, driving under the influence-manslaughter, DUI-serious bodily injury and leaving the scene of an accident; and four counts of DUI-property damage.
Didier Miles, 24, of Miami turned into himself in to the Plantation Key jail and is being held in lieu of $155,000 bond. A warrant for his arrest was issued Tuesday and he was arrested Thursday.
The Florida Highway Patrol says that on the day of the crash, May 13, Kristen Rivera, 22, also of Miami, was driving a 2007 Honda Element north on U.S. 1 with Miles in the passenger seat.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the Element was involved in a minor crash with a man around mile marker 85 by striking his car as Rivera pulled out of U.S. 1 heading north.
They pulled over and when the other driver approached Rivera to get her insurance information, she asked him if he would instead accept money for the damage done to his car. He declined and turned around to get something out of his car.
In that time, troopers say, Rivera and Miles switch seats, so Miles was now driving north in the left-turn lane and struck head-on a Mom's Taxi driven by Charles Akullian, 71, who was traveling south in the right turn lane. That means the Element crossed all the way over the southbound lane.
The Honda came to a rest at a utility pole on the southbound side of the highway. The impact of the crash caused Akullian's engine compartment to catch fire. Emergency responders extinguished the flames. Islamorada Fire-Rescue Department firefighters freed Miles and Rivera from the Honda and an air ambulance helicopter flew them to Ryder, where Rivera died that night.
Chris Argote, Rivera's friend and a fellow waiter at PF Chang's in the Dolphin Mall in Sweetwater, said he was shocked at the accident given Rivera's disapproving attitude toward drunken driving. She had hoped to become a firefighter, Argote said.

George Stevens Lecture
The George Stevens Lecture was established by the Academy in 1981 as a means of drawing attention to the collection of Stevens' personal papers gifted to the Margaret Herrick Library by George Stevens Jr.
It is the only lecture that is now about aspects of the career of a single individual. Richard Jewell, assistant professor of cinema at USC, delivered the inaugural lecture on September 14, 1981. The lecture concluded with a screening of "A Place in the Sun" in its entirety. Subsequent lectures have generally followed the same format.
It was Stevens Jr.'s intention that the lectures would provoke reexamination of the Stevens oeuvre, and more specifically encourage serious students to burrow into the collection of papers in the Herrick Library.
More About George Stevens
George Stevens was the recipient of nine Academy Award nominations and two Oscars for directing, and he was awarded the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1953. Stevens was a longtime member of the Academy's Board of Governors and served as the organization's 14th president. He started in the film business in 1921 as an assistant cameraman, joining Hal Roach in 1927 as cameraman on Laurel and Hardy shorts. His first major success was "Alice Adams," starring Katharine Hepburn. Among his films were "Gunga Din," "I Remember Mama," "A Place in the Sun," "Shane," "Giant," "The Diary of Anne Frank," and "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Stevens died in 1975.

Corporate Governance
At Kirby McInerney, we have a long history of activity in the corporate governance arena. In connection with the Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. takeover of RJR Nabisco in 1988 that inspired "Barbarians at the Gate", our firm established that investment bankers advising target boards have duties running directly to target shareholders. This led to a substantial recovery for the target shareholders.
Hollinger is a recently celebrated corporate governance initiative. In the Spring 2003, Hollinger's principal shareholder, Tweedy Browne, engaged KM to eliminate what was referred to as the Black Discount. That required the removal of Conrad Black, a process we set in motion by a series of sophisticated, little-employed maneuvers in Delaware, home to many corporations and oracle of corporate law.
Tweedy Browne had approximately thirteen million shares of the company trading at substantially less than $10 at the time of our engagement. After it became clear that Mr. Black would no longer control Hollinger, the stock rose from less than $10 to in excess of $20 per share, an increase of more than $100 million in Tweedy's holdings.

Joe Salter reportedly juggled backwards the whole 26.2 miles, finishing at five hours, 51 minutes and 25 seconds.
And get this, juggling while running isn't Salter's only talent, he has also completed a triathlon while juggling!

Raw Food Diet
By Jennifer Winger
For Gabrielle Chavez, author of The Raw Food Gourmet (North Atlantic Books, 2005), switching to a raw food diet of uncooked, vegan fare involves more than just eating your vegetables—it is about a physical, emotional, and spiritual commitment to health. This commitment can challenge you, warns Chavez, but living in a vitally nourished, energetically sparkling body, rewards the raw fooder amply.
Q What are the health benefits of a raw food diet?
A Most people will notice an immediate increase in their energy levels since their bodies are no longer diverting energy to digest or detoxify what they just ate.
Cooking not only robs us of a food's nutrient value by destroying its enzymes and changing molecular structures, but it also can create new, potentially toxic compounds such as cancer-causing acrylamide and nitratrosamines from frying and grilling. Microwaving and "flash pasteurizing," which may raise the internal temperature of foods to 3,000 degrees, bursting the molecular bonds, may do the most damage of all. Our systems do their best to make tissues with what we provide, but bodies built with damaged goods are weaker and likely will pass the weakness down through generations.
With a raw food diet, over time, the illnesses and problems associated with diet—everything from acne and allergies to cancer and heart disease—improve and even fall away.
Q Does eating raw mean expensive grocery bills?
A I thought it might, especially since I purchase large quantities of "luxury foods" such as avocados, pineapples, dates, and macadamia nuts as staples. But since I don't buy eggs, cheese, juice, or canned or packaged foods anymore and buy quite a bit in bulk, my grocery bill is less than half of what it was before I went raw.
Q How can foods that are not cooked be satisfying?
A I suggest letting go of expectations of what a meal is. Instead, eat as much of whatever you like whenever you want as long as it's not cooked. Raw gourmet dishes provide a range of tastes and textures to satisfy almost anyone, with the added pleasure of guilt-free eating.
Q Is a raw food diet compatible with a busy lifestyle?
A It can be. What is faster than munching a fresh apple, zipping open an avocado, or chowing down on carrots? If you crave more culinary variety, as I do, you'll have to figure out how to make it work. After you've learned a few food preparation techniques and re-stocked your kitchen with raw staples, it's quite doable.
Everything you make in a blender, from soups to salad dressings to smoothies, takes just a few moments, once the ingredients are ready. Remember there's no cooking time—dehydrator treats are an exception—and cleanup is a quick rinse. Food shopping is a breeze: No matter how big the store, only one aisle, produce, is relevant. Plus, from my experience, energy-filled raw fooders need one to two hours less sleep.
