Zimmerman will ask Fla. to pay some bills
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman's attorney is going to ask the state of Florida to pay for some of his client's non-lawyer legal bills.
Attorney Mark O'Mara said Tuesday that the defense team is still totaling up its trial expenses. But he said that it may eventually bill the state as much as $300,000.
He said the costs were incurred for experts, as well as costs such as printing of deposition transcripts and court reporters.
Zimmerman was acquitted last month of all charges in the shooting of Miami teenager Trayvon Martin.
State law allows defendants to get their legal expenses reimbursed by the state if they are found not guilty.
O'Mara normally bills at $400 per hour. He said neither he nor any of his fellow attorneys have been paid anything.
Arias' attorneys want venue change
PHOENIX (AP) — Lawyers for convicted killer Jodi Arias want her new sentencing moved out of the Phoenix metropolitan area because of excessive publicity.
Arias' attorneys filed a motion Tuesday seeking a change of venue, saying their research indicates 70 percent of the media coverage in Arizona of the first trial took place in Maricopa County.
They also want live television coverage prohibited for the retrial.
"Both the nature and extent of the publicity surrounding Ms. Arias' case render it impossible that the accused will receive a fair trial in this capital case if it is tried in Maricopa County," Arias attorney Kirk Nurmi said in the motion.
Nurmi also said the case has received "widespread, unfair and prejudicial coverage" from the Maricopa County-focused media outlets.
Mother testifies against accused baby shooter
MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — The mother of a baby who was fatally shot in his stroller in coastal Georgia testified at a man's murder trial Tuesday that she threw her arms across her baby, trying to save him.
Sherry West cried as she told the court what happened as she walked home from the Brunswick post office March 21 with her 13-month-old son Antonio Santiago. Two teenagers approached her, and the older one demanded money, West testified.
"I told him I have a baby and I have expenses and I didn't have it," West said.
The teen threatened the baby when she refused to give him money a second time.
"He asked me if I wanted him to shoot my baby," West said. "I said, 'Don't shoot my baby."'
She said the teen fired a warning shot into the ground, fired a shot toward her head that grazed her ear when she ducked and then shot her in the leg. He then turned toward the baby in the stroller.
"I tried to stop him," she said. "I put my arms over my baby, but he still shot him."
After the baby had been shot, the teen still tried to grab her purse and hit her in the head with his gun, she said.
West screamed for help and both teens ran off, she said.
Asked by prosecutor Andrew Eknomou if the shooter was in the courtroom, West said he was. She pointed at De'Marquise Elkins, 18, who sat at the defense table with his lawyers and showed no emotion.
Prosecutors said Elkins and an accomplice, 15-year-old Dominique Lang, stopped West, and the older teen pointed a small .22-caliber revolver at her and demanded money and eventually shot the baby when West wouldn't surrender her purse.
Fort Hood gunman won't call witnesses
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood decided not to call witnesses or testify Tuesday during his trial's penalty phase, which is his last chance to plead for his life before the jury begins deliberating whether to sentence him to death.
Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is acting as his own attorney, told the judge he was resting his case without submitting evidence, calling witnesses or testifying in his own defense. The judge then dismissed jurors, who convicted Hasan last week for the November 2009 shooting rampage that also wounded more than 30 people at the Texas military base.
But shortly after the jury left the courtroom, the judge asked Hasan more than two dozen questions in rapid fire, affirming that he knew what he was doing. His answers were succinct and just as rapid.
"It is my personal decision," he said. "It is free and voluntary."
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then read him several court opinions to back up her decision not to introduce evidence in Hasan's favor on her own.
"In other words, Maj. Hasan, you are the captain of your own ship," Osborn said.
She said closing arguments would begin Wednesday. Whether Hasan will address jurors then remains unclear.

Shades of the Hornets trade. LMAO
Hornacek is a great fit for Bledsoe. He can teach him with the shooting.
bledsoe's face is very sad to see. i hope him and butler do great things for phoenix
lmao no they actually sounded happy. Well I don't know about Butler but he was so professional. He was so nice to them, and that made me feel sad. I mean I don't usually feel bad for athletes, considering they make $$$ while doing what they love. I wish we kept the guy. Bledsoe was OK cause he knew he was gonna get traded for sure.
This was a great press conference. Love those guys.
I want to see bledsoe dunk on griffin and/of block griffins dunk attempt!

Damian Dovarganes/Associated Press
NEW YORK � Rarely does a week go by without news of another hacking incident, whether it�s Chinese hackers accused of breaking in to The New York Times� computer systems or Burger King finding its Twitter account taken over by pranksters.
Security threats aren�t new and have long been part of online life. But the increased attention on them makes now a good time to review ways you can protect yourself. If nothing here feels new, that�s good, as it means you�ve been doing the things you need to do to keep your accounts safe from hackers. Although there�s no way to completely eliminate threats, minimizing them will go a long way.
One of the best things you can do is to make sure your password is strong.
If someone�s able to guess the password to your email or Facebook account, that person can post or send embarrassing things on your behalf. Someone was able to access Burger King�s Twitter account recently and changed its profile picture to a McDonald�s logo. If a banking or Amazon account is involved, someone could pay bills or buy iPads under your name � with your money.
What�s worse, getting a password to one account is often a stepping stone to a more serious breach. Someone can use your email or Facebook account to send spam and scam messages to your friends, for instance. And because many services let you reset your password by sending an email to your address on file, someone with access to your email account can reset passwords and gain access to all sorts of things. If the compromised password is one you use for work, someone can snoop around for files on your employer�s network with trade secrets or customers� credit card numbers.
Here are ways you can keep your password strong to ward off that initial intrusion:
Make your password long. The recommended minimum is eight characters, but 14 is better and 25 is even better than that. Some services have character limits on passwords, though.
Use combinations of letters and numbers, upper and lower case and symbols such as the exclamation mark. Some services won�t let you do all of that, but try to vary it as much as you can. �PaSsWoRd!43� is far better than �password43.�
Avoid words that are in dictionaries, even if you add numbers and symbols. There are programs that can crack passwords by going through databases of known words. One trick is to add numbers in the middle of a word � as in �pas123swor456d� instead of �password123456.� Another is to think of a sentence and use just the first letter of each word � as in �tqbfjotld� for �the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.�
Substitute characters. For instance, use the number 0 instead of the letter O, or replace the S with a dollar sign.
Avoid easy-to-guess words, even if they aren�t in the dictionary. You shouldn�t use your name, company name or hometown, for instance. Avoid pets and relatives� names, too. Likewise, avoid things that can be looked up, such as your birthday or ZIP code. But you might use that as part of a complex password. Try reversing your ZIP code or phone number and insert that into a string of letters. As a reminder, you should also avoid �password� as the password, or consecutive keys on the keyboard, such as �1234� or �qwerty.�
Never reuse passwords on other accounts � with two exceptions. Over the years, I�ve managed to create hundreds of accounts. Many are for one-time use, such as when a newspaper website requires me to register to read the full story. It�s OK to use simple passwords and repeat them in those types of situations, as long as the password isn�t unlocking features that involve credit cards or posting on a message board. That will let you focus on keeping passwords to the more essential accounts strong.
The other exception is to log in using a centralized sign-on service such as Facebook Connect. Hulu, for instance, gives you the option of using your Facebook username and password instead of creating a separate one for the video site. This technically isn�t reusing your password, but a matter of Hulu borrowing the log-in system Facebook already has in place. The account information isn�t stored with Hulu. Facebook merely tells Hulu�s computers that it�s you. Of course, if you do this, it�s even more important to keep your Facebook password secure.
How do you keep track of these passwords? There are programs you can buy, if you�re willing to put your trust in them. I use an Excel spreadsheet, but I encrypt it with its own password � a rather complex one. I am well aware that if the file gets compromised, all my services go with it. In fact, I once had it on a USB drive, which I had in a backpack that got stolen. I had to spend several hours changing passwords on all my accounts, just in case someone managed to break the password to that file. As a precaution, don�t name that file �passwords.� Name it something generic and boring.
Ideally, you�ll have a system for creating and remembering passwords without needing the spreadsheet. For example, you might have a string that�s constant, such as �?t7q1b9f8j2o0t0l1d!� (the acronym for �the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog� with my area code and ZIP code reversed and a few special characters put in). To vary it, you could add the first two letters of the website you are using to the front and the next four to the end. Or put the consonants in front and the vowels at the end, with every other letter capitalized and the letter O replaced with the number 0. So for Amazon, it would be �mZn?t7q1b9f8j2o 0t0l1d!Aa0.� Just try to guess that!
Of course, I�m not smart enough to have a system like that for myself.
Whatever system you adopt, it�s good to change your password � and system � from time to time. And if there�s reason to believe your password might have been compromised, change it immediately.
One other thing to be aware of: Many sites let you reset your password by answering a security question, such as the name of your pet or the name of your high school. Of course, these violate good password practices by requiring you to use something that can be easily looked up. Others ask for your favorite movie or hobby. That might not be easily looked up, but your tastes change over time. Furthermore, because these questions get repeated from site to site, the answers you use violate the rule against repeating passwords.
I try to make these answers complex just like passwords, by adding numbers and special characters and making up responses. Unfortunately, some sites won�t let you do that, and you�ll be stopped if you try to enter a numeral when asked for a city name, for instance. These services will often send an email when a password gets reset this way, so be sure the address on file is current. Change your password and security questions immediately if you�re notified of a reset you didn�t initiate. You might want to contact the service as well.
While you�re at it, make your username complex, too, if you�re allowed to choose one. Banking sites typically do.
More tips
Beyond passwords, here are a few other things to help you stay safe:
Software flaws. Many break-ins result from flaws in the software program you use, whether it�s the Windows or Mac operating system, a Web browser or a video player. It�s a good idea to let those programs automatically check for software updates, as those updates may contain fixes to known flaws. You can also check this government website to learn of the latest threats and fixes: http://us-cert.gov .
Malicious software. Even if the software you�re using is flawless, hackers may create a security opening by tricking you into installing a malicious program. That can happen if you click on a bad email attachment or link in your email. In rare cases, visiting a problematic website can cause the software to download. Should malicious software get on your computer, a hacker might be able to use the opening to look around for sensitive data, or record your keystrokes to capture your complex passwords. To minimize the threat, use caution when visiting unknown sites or opening mysterious email.
Security software. Many companies sell anti-virus and other software to protect your computer from malicious software. There�s a free one available at http://www.avg.com . Windows and Mac computers also come with firewalls to block some threats. Be sure it�s turned on.

DENVER � Colorado�s natural-gas and oil regulators took steps Wednesday to increase the buffer zone between wells and houses.
Also Wednesday, the state announced a $1.3 million study of air pollution from gas and oil fields.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission is hashing out a rule to create a 500-foot buffer zone between new wells and occupied buildings.
The commission voted down an attempt to reduce the buffer zone to 350 feet in rural areas Wednesday afternoon.
�A person in a rural county is the same as a person where I live in Denver County,� said commissioner Andy Spielman.
The rule allows companies to drill inside the buffer zone only if they get permission from the COGCC director, or if the landowner permits it and it doesn�t violate the buffer zone with neighboring houses.
However, the commission did not finish writing the rule, and it will have to return in a few weeks to finalize the rule.
A shale-drilling boom north of Denver has brought the industry into close contact with suburban families who aren�t used to drilling rigs and hydraulic-fracturing operations outside their homes. As a result, several anti-drilling groups have sprung up to try to ban fracking in Colorado.
The state�s new air-pollution study is designed to track pollution from wells and see how it effects human health.
Gov. John Hickenlooper previewed the study Tuesday afternoon during a speech to the City Club of Denver.
Hickenlooper touted natural gas as a medium-term way to cut greenhouse-gas pollution, and he vowed to cut pollution of methane � a potent greenhouse gas.
�Historically, we�ve let a lot of methane escape. We�re going to demand that that stop. We�re going to start measuring fields all over the state to make sure that we dramatically reduce fugitive methane and make sure they do capture it and use it so it�s not wasted,� Hickenlooper said.
Colorado State University will perform the study, which will begin in June and run through 2016. The study�s second phase will develop a health-risk assessment for people who live near gas fields.
The $1.3 million study will be paid for by fees levied on natural-gas and oil companies.

DAVIDSON, N.C. – Emil Gonsalvez scored in the 81st minute to lead UNC Asheville to a 1-0 exhibition win over homestanding Davidson Saturday night.
The teams played a 15-minute half after the exhbition match with each team using its back-ups. The Wildcats won that half, 2-1.
The regular match was scoreless until Bobby Castro fed Gonsalvez who scored on a header at 80:28 to give the Bulldogs the lead.
"We defended well in the defensive third, and had good moments of possession in the final third," said head coach Matt Kern. "There are still some things we need to work on but this is a great result against a team that's going to win a bunch of games this year."
Asheville has some time off before opening the regular season. The Bulldogs will open the 2013 season at UNC Greensboro on Friday, Aug. 30 before returning home to take on Brevard in the home opener on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 2 p.m.

What a beautiful place. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Duvall street but close enough to walk nearly anywhere you need to go. Beautifully appointed in a quiet, residential, neighborhood.We stayed as two mothers with our two, 17-year-old, sons. The 3 bedroom, three bed arrangement perfectly met our needs. Key West Hideaways made sure every detail was attended to. They even provided recommendations on places to fish, eat and shop. We will return!! – MaryAlice, Kansas City
What a wonderful home away from home. The location was divine, the staff at Key West Hideaways gave us the best pointers and suggestions which really enhanced our visit. The property was so peaceful, clean and lovely, exactly as billed. Felt more like the 4 Seasons than any other property we had seen online to rent. I wish I'd come upon this first it would have saved me an enormous amount of online time. When we come back to Key West we know exactly where we're going to stay. – Nancy, Dallas, TX

Free agency begins
And so it begins…the Hot Stove season.
At the very moment of Brian Wilson recording the final strikeout to give the Giants the World Series win over the Rangers, 142 players automatically became free agents late Monday night. Under new rules, they no longer have to file for it…it just happens.
The new rules also shorten the exclusive negotiating period for free agents from 15 days to five days. After the fifth day, free agents can negotiate and sign with any club.
As expected, these are the Reds free agents from the list provided by the MLBPA:
Bloomquist, Willie
Cairo, Miguel
Edmonds, Jim
Hernandez, Ramon
Lincoln, Michael
Rhodes, Arthur
Springer, Russ
From this list, expect the Reds to make attempts to bring back Hernandez, Cairo and Rhodes. Edmonds was contemplating retirement but I could envision his potential return if he wanted to keep playing and was healthy enough to give it a go.
Also — be sure to bookmark this blog link — http://mlb.mlblogs.com/ — it will be our MLB-wide blog of transactions, rumors and breaking hot stove news during the winter.

Ellen NICHOLLS was my 3x great-grandmother and she is one of the most troublesome individuals in my family tree. It is not that her life was that different from any of my other ancestors, just that find the records has not been quite so straight-forward as it should have been.
Her birth and childhood have been particularly tricky to trace and whilst I have a pretty good idea in my head about where Ellen came from, I don't have the evidence yet to prove it. It shouldn't be tricky to prove it if I am correct (it just means spending a bit of time and money).
What I do know about Ellen's birth comes from various census returns. They all give her place of birth as Chiddingstone, Kent and a date around 1846-1847. I only know that her maiden name was NICHOLLS from the birth certificate of her first son William (my 2x great-grandfather).
I have not been able to find a marriage certificate for Ellen NICHOLLS and William GEERING (although I have only searched the GRO Indexes, not the locally kept indexes) so I don't know for certain the name of Ellen's father.
William GEERING and Ellen certainly lived as husband and wife, even if they weren't officially so. The first record I have of them together is the birth registration of their son William in 1868, however he isn't baptised until 1875 at the same time as two of his younger sisters. This apparent disregard for baptisms and the church may explain why there is no marriage record.
It appears that the couple had seven children in all, all born and baptised (eventually) in Lewes, Sussex apart from the last two for whom I have not found baptism records yet:
- William GEERING (born Q3 1868, baptised 5 January 1875)
- Ellen GEERING (born Q4 1869, baptised 5 January 1875)
- Emily GEERING (born Q4 1872, baptised 5 January 1875)
- Clara Gertrude GEERING (born Q1 1875, baptised 7 October 1877)
- Edith GEERING (born Q3 1877, baptised 7 October 1877)
- Richard Thomas GEERING (born Q3 1879)
- Arthur GEERING (born Q2 1884)
The family lived at a variety of addresses in Lewes, in 1868 when William was born they were living in Sun Street. In 1871 they were living in Priory Street and in subsequent census returns they were living at 11 St. Nicholas Lane.
Ellen's death was registered in Q1 1897. I don't have a copy of her death certificate so I don't know what the cause was, but she was aged 49 years at the time. She was buried on the 16th March 1897 at All Saints Church, Lewes, Sussex.

GT - I actually don't mind that Pugs wants to stay around to see what is being written about her. What I find annoying is how she has made a point of telling us that she is staying around to read what is said. It is as if she wants to hear that people are annoyed with her so she can stay in her room, feel hurt and just tell herself, "See! I knew they never liked me anyway."
And I agree with Bunnyb that Pugs has manipulated many members of the board with her neediness. GT, you are a really smart woman and I am suprised that you haven't noticed this. When Pugs has been on the defensive, she attacks and then almost instantly curls up in a ball and says, "Don't hurt me. I'm sensitive!" Well, many of us are sensitive. If you don't want a response, don't put yourself out there. You are taking a risk when you do.

If you're frustrated by it and not emotionally invested i dont see why you didnt just ignore it and let her be, like i did, instead of making her feel she can't post here. it's a friggin forum! the only other reason i could think of is jealousy/bitterness over all the time and support people have been offering her
First up (although less importantly), starship, fuck off. People who throw out jealousy/bitterness as an explanation for people's actions are lazy and exhibiting the lowest form of intelligence. Jealous of pugs? hardly. If you have such a low opinion of BUST and BUSTies then what are you doing here? go and play with the traffic instead.
Pugs/persiflager/GT, yes I'm harsh. I tell it like I see it. I am also a marshmallow, the hard exterior and gooey on the inside; I am one of the sweetest people you are ever likely to meet. Most of the time I come from a good place. I am also a bitch but I am not cold; I try to be but I'm not. What pugs is forgetting is that I really did empathise with her situation and I gave heartfelt advice, people who are cold don't do that. There is one area of her relationship -mr pugs not wanting children- that I completely understand and I tried to prepare her a long time ago for the turmoil that it would cause but unless you are saying what pugs wants to hear then you may as well be saying nothing at all. The things I said about pugs yesterday may be bitchy but they are also true: being a selfish brat isn't doing her relationship any good either and that is evident from her and mr pugs' posts but eventually saying it has been pointless.
I shouldn't have posted; I should have bit my tongue like I have a thousand times before. My opinions of pugs and her attention seeking ways to not stem from that post (and it is so frustrating to read over and over about that one post that nobody else can now read because it wasn't that!) For months (since she entered the Church? before?) pugs has played games with the board and it has been frustrating to see people I respect be so completely blind to it and only perpetuate her shit. The frustrating thing is that I know that there are people who agree with me who have PMd me complaining about pugs and calling her out for exactly what she is doing but they are too mature to actually post about it. God, I have had so many conversations about pugs that it's pathetic - why does the lounge and the people on it matter so much? I'm too much of a lay it out on the table person, that's one of my problems. I care too much and pugs reminds me of a total fucking bitch that I was friends with who destroyed me emotionally because people couldn't see her for what she was. I shouldn't have taken this personally. It's become so much bigger that pugs being an immature arse. There are so many PMs that go around laughing at other BUSTies and now I suppose it is my turn, even amongst people I consider friends who haven't been there for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I am way too sensitive to the insidious nature of all of this.
I am so fucking over this place; I hate the type of person it makes me. And yeah now I am being as much of a drama queen as pugs, whatevs. That doesn't mean I am flouncing a'la pugs (for the thirteenth time) but I wanted to voice how sick of it we can all become.

busties can be such self-righteous asses sometimesjust sometimes? lol. since i got laid off, i've been trying to make it my full time job. i'm even taking a night school class. and i'm certainly not critisizing, star (mostly cos i think that comment was f'ing funny), but that statement sounds i tiny bit self-righteous.
kitten is it possible she meant she'd be lurking in other threads?
i know you're just making a point, but this idea that somehow we know someone's motivation is absurd. but that she would want to know that, no, if we are talking about her is simply human nature, and doesn't qualify one as a drama queen. seriously. a drama queen would have been in here daily moaning about her problems, if anything pugs has been stoic, considering. i mean, think about, if we wanted to know about how she was doing, for the last week or more we had to PM her. how the fuck is that a drama queen? that's the antithesis of an attention whore. not to be a jerk about it, but the person who got the most attention out of this? bunny. just sayin'.
pugs would be going thru a very hard time, for someone who had done a lot of dating, so the fact that she's never had anyone other than mr.pugs means it's REALLY HARD for her. how many of us didn't go back to our first love? seriously. the girl i lost my virginity to gave me crabs. I STILL WENT BACK TO HER. even though i know she was cheating with a couple of different guys, i still thought she was the end all be all until i realized i thought more of myself. so this idea that somehow pugs is a whiner or attention seeker after 13 years with her first love, buying a house and waiting 4 years for him to grow the stones to tell her he didn't want to get married? fuck, she's handling it waaaaaay better than i would have. the house would be cinders if that was me, and lord knows what sort of hijinx i'd be plotting for his future. but that is beside the point. the purpose of the lounge, particularly this one is to talk about personal things and find comfort in like minded feminists. there are so many strange things we all confess in here, i find it so funny that someone would rip on her for doing what we all do. her behavior was no egregious than anyone else in that thread. it just amazes me that she would be attacked for being honest, and sharing with people that she thought were her friends, and part of her support system. do you see how that's kind of a violation? she came in here looking for support, now i know, as does she that busties don't really care for her choice, and that is fine, i'm the queen of harsh reality checks, but to say some of the things bunny did... bunny, i think you are a riot but i think that was uncalled for. and if you aren't her friend, why take it so personal? why go out of your way to attack her? i really don't get it. i've attacked people to the point that they don't want to post here anymore because of something that they did and it's just so....pointless. i think of the contribution they could have made if i hadn't been such a prick...

Moved from the "Moving On" thread...
starship - who exactly was your comment directed to?
pugs - the fact that you say you will be lurking just confirms bunny's belief that you are a drama queen. You want to know that we are talking about you. You want to see what we say. But you want us to know that you are hurt and are refusing to talk to us. Your choice. But I do not think if you were confident and comfortable in your actions you would need to cling here just to see what is going on.

Um, FUCK YOU, Ananke, it's not like you've been an active part of the dialogue recently or Bust really for that matter, you little lurker. I was well within the rebuttal grace period. You're over it, don't like it, go back to a thread where you actually fucking contribute something once in a while. So suck it.
The conversation had moved on, someone had already said Take it Outside and you still had to post a rebuttal in thread? Way to drag it back to the bullshit. I've been on Bust since the days of warring with the Ms boards - I lost a couple of IDs and lost interest a few times as well, I won't shut up and stick to threads I post in because you had to have your hissy fit in two places, not just where it fucking belongs.
And as a point, I fucking agreed with you - talking about HAES and beauty at any size doesn't fucking mesh with fashion critique, particularly 'ew, those shoes make you look short' as if short is some fucking crime. Not to mention the ability to see ones arse through pants is generally a fashion crime, cellulite or not. But the conversation had moved on, why the fuck keep on with it? Why not let that thread move and take it over here? Why post in both places?
As an aside, yeah, ugg boots and slippers look gay as all fuck on a bloke. Good thing they're fucking slippers and up there with my clown pant pyjamas and holey Half-Life shirt as examples of 'what to wear in wintery weather in your own house'.

Thirties, I want to smack you over the head with a ten pound bag of cellulite.
Our "lack of understanding"? *OUR* lack of understanding? Jesus jumped up christ on a horse! As far as I can tell, the only one that doesn't understand in this sitch is you, Thirties. We have made it plain that we hear you & understand where you're coming from. We have also explained to you that we simply don't fucking care about your whole poor little fat girl drama, yet you just keep repeating yourself. And those of us that are big girls (And I am one, I weigh probably ten-fifteen pounds more than you & am about five inches taller.) aren't squealing about "anti-fat sentiments". IT'S JUST YOU. Again, this is your issue & your issue alone around here.
And as far as civility/foul language goes, blow it out yer ass. I kept it civil until you just wouldn't shut the fuck up & see that your little drama was a non-issue to the rest of us & that we weren't going to change to appease you. And perhaps you failed to notice it since you're so wrapped up in Thirties' world (Um, R is playing you, BTW. Fer reals.), but NOBODY disagreed with ME on this. NOBODY. I truly expected some blowback, somebody to tell me that I should be ashamed of myself for cutting (Through the fat!) to get straight to the heart of the matter as I saw it. BUT NOBODY DID. I don't expect anybody is gonna miss you if you mosy on to greener pastures.

Thirties, i'm sure you're lurking somewhere... so I'll keep this brief.
I have no problem with the fact that you didn't like the outfit your co-worker was wearing. What I take issue with is your attitude about cellulite, and that fact that it seemed, by the tone of your post, that you find it disgusting. Please explain to me how writing "might I add, lots of ass cellulite, and ugly white shoes. Blechhhh" is not expressing disgust for the woman's cellulite and the fact that you could see it through her pants?
You may protest as much as you like, but you're not convincing me. The way you chose to express your feelings in your post suggests anti-fat sentiment to me.
OMG!! I'm glad that you are a mind reader and can sense my attitude towards ASS FAT through a post. Good job. Who cares if I convinced you or not, I don't know you. My original post wasn't addressing you anyway. I am the type of person that says what I mean. And as I told you, my post was not anti-fat. You can take it how you like it. Whatever! I haven't lost sleep over it one way or another.
I'm sorry you don't like the fact that I stand up for what I believe in, but I'm a strong advocate for health at any size and fat acceptance. I was hoping, perhaps wrongly, that it would have a place here, on a forum that represents a magazine who's outlook and message I generally respect.
As I've stated before in this thread, I'm all for spirited commentary on things we see people wearing that we don't like. But I won't allow anti-fat sentiment to go without comment. I don't believe it has a place on this forum.
The thing I find most amusing (in a sick, sad way) is that after my initial comment to you, Konphusion, about your post (which was, simply put, "cellulite's ok"), AP preceded to read me the riot act for being "all 'fat acceptance, hooray!' & bully for you for it," and that I'm "coming from a hyper-sensitive fat place," and then accuses *me* of going over the top with my comments. You write that I'm "blowing things out of proportion." I've also been told I'm "fucking bitching about shit," when I have not yet once devolved into name calling or foul language and have tried to keep the debate civil. I would laugh if I wasn't so disappointed about the lack of understanding you and AP have shown.
I really was hoping for better and am disappointed that it's not here. I'm out and may not be back for a while.
Real talk, I could care less about you standing up for what you believe. I still do not feel bad about what I said. I do not apologize for it. My problem with you is that you chose to twist my words and nitpick the cellulite comment to death. Plus, if your main issue is with AP's initial reply- I have no control over what she said to you. However, I think she's absolutely right. You have blown this shit way out of proportion.
So if you feel the need to not come here anymore, that's on you. But don't try to reprimand me or anyone else for not agreeing with your opinion.Yours is not the only one that matters Thirtiesgirl!!
Faith is hoping for and believing in things you cannot see!

you saw it in the theater? oh, honeychild, no wonder you hated it! from what you've described of your hometown-which sounds very much like mine-i can just imagine, sitting in the dark with a bunch of slobs with no sense of art appreciation at all throwing popcorn at the screen and loudly complaining "fuck man, i thought you said the 'saw' guy did this one. what's this fag singing shit?" *sigh* repo never had a chance. no, the proper way to watch repo is by yourself in the afternoon, or late at night with a small group of like-minded friends, when you can dance around the livingroom singing/shouting along, and maybe smoke a bowl or two, and that makes it even better. crowd energy indeed.

So I see Thirties came back for a rebuttal. I can't imagine anything she said was enlightening, I didn't read it, but from other's responses, I can gather:
1) She's still harping on her fat acceptance thing because she "sees fat people persecution" everywhere like some kind of funhouse mirror M. Knight Shyamalan. It's the Fat Sense!
2) She said she was leaving & may or may not come back because she's so saddened by our lack of understanding of the fat girl's plight. HUZZAH! Goodbye self-important, obnoxiously authoritative, pain-in-the-ass!
Things nobody mentioned in a post, but I'm sure she did cause she can't shut the fuck up:
3) She completely glossed over/ignored her COMPLETE hipocrisy, because y'know, it doesn't matter. She's standing up for fat acceptance & that's all that counts. Screw short people that wear shoes that she finds distasteful. They can go to hell! Thirties has conviction! Cellulite is godliness!
4) I am evil for finally growing weary of her shtick. I'm sure she said something about my utterly uncivilised behaviour & mentioned name calling because I did, in fact, call her a short/fat, PC ninny among other things. Who cares if it's true, right? When I obviously I hate fat people!
My problem with this whole thing has been her seeing hate where clearly there was none. This is *her* issue, not ours. But now I am beating the dead horse.
All I can say is don't let the door hit ya in the great crevasse where the good Lord split ya.

Hey, I trembled, too when I clicked 'cause I thought for sure I was gonna get castigated back into the stone age. I'm glad that you came back so positively & that we are a'ight!
Okay, I gotta own that I liked the puppet scene. Fuck the haters. That was funny as shit. It was. Period.
Y'know, I think a sequel might be a good thing. An opportunity to get it right, tight, & outtasight! Maybe get some more money & some *decent* backing. Had it gotten decent backing, perhaps I'd have seen it in a theatre that was more in the spirit & liked it more. That makes a difference, y'know? Crowd energy counts.

oh, thank goodness, i saw you'd replied here and i trembled in fear before clicking. so glad we got that all that worked out! but i think i may have to go back to hating you for pointing me to that annoying insightful and dead-on review.
ah, the repetitiveness, the entirely unnecessarily 'mark it up' pavi/luigi duel, the superemoangst!giles, and of course the insult of paris hilton. but on the other hand, the cyber/steampunk gorgeousness of costume and setting, the 'squee, it's giles!' and that man at least-of all the players-can sing, the androgynous hotness of joan jett-i didn't even realize that was her-i still can't tell after numerous viewings if the guitarist was male or female, they were just sexy as hell. and i don't care how gory it was overall (not really that much, i thought, and i have low gore tolerance), the 'thankless job' number where nathan puts his hand up the guy's torso and uses him as a puppet? pure whimsical cuteness, and i will kick the ass of anyone who says different.
oh, and brace yourself aural, i hear rumor on the interwebs that the creators of 'repo!', one of whom was the guy that played the grave robber btw, see this as the first of three companion movies. where's our laughy devil smiley? we so need a laughy devil smiley!

This will go down as one of the most civilised TIO talks ever, I hope.
Dude. Grrrl. For reals, this was mutual misinterpretation. You felt like I was slighting a film you enjoyed on a singular basis, you stood up for your opinion. I felt like you thought I was being a film snob, so I stated my case for my dislike of the film. We crossed swords. The full intent of the word doesn't always come across in cyberspace, so we thought we were both being an asshole when we weren't. It happens.
I sincerely wasn't trying to dress you down anymore than you were me. I honestly didn't feel our encounter was confrontational, but you obviously did; again, that was not my intent & I'm sorry if you took it that way. I just thought we were talking film shit. But I can see where you were coming from.
I'm sorry if you felt I pushed things too hard & didn't let it die. But I personally learn a great deal from conversation. I often times don't know how I've upset a person until they tell me, which was why I was so irked when you just shut things down & barred any future discussion. I have a pathological need to work things out when I feel I've been misconstrued or I've completely missed another's point.
I NEVER wanted to be at odds with you. NEVER. I was surprised & hurt when you said you were going to avoid me over this. I mean, I'm an ASSHOLE. I am in full possession of this knowledge. But I also KNOW when I've been a total jerk & why somebody should avoid me. And it weighed heavily upon my mind that a conversation that I felt was innocuous would earn me such ire from somebody that I bore no ill will towards.
Yes, our beef was my initial inspiration for the new thread. The root, yes. BUT. NOT the only reason. I live in Podunk. I haven't been able to engage in a decent film discussion in ages because this place SUCKS & only gets mainstream films. I used to be able to catch arty stuff, but here the best I can get is our shite multiplex, cable (Thirty miles from here they don't even offer MTV because it is SINFUL secular music!) & our sad rental places. One of our religious leaders catches sight of a boobie? Yeah, that movie is gone from the local video joint. So I am woefully out of place as far as anything more than half-ass R rated goes. I just wanted a place to vent about how shite I found Confessions of a Shopaholic even if I got in for free.
So I hope we are cool. I don't think either of us meant to start any trouble & I like to think the new thread was a good born of our misunderstanding. A mitzvah for us all!
I must admit that this review of Repo! made me chuckle. It covers both of our points quite well, I think.

*dusts off the penitents podium and steps up*
been a while since this thread was used, huh? i certainly never thought i'd end up here; i'm generally a pretty easygoing person. confrontation makes me break out in hives. but i owe someone an apology, and if i have to take a couple hits on the chin to make it, then so be it.
so, aural, i saw the new movie thread, and i checked out the community forum to see what led up to it, and i want you to know that i sincerely appreciate the effort. i know i behaved badly in the original, and in the subsequent pm, and i am really sorry about that. part of it was what other people said about being intimidated by the highbrow discussions, part of it was because i've just been having the shittiest week at work and at life in general, and neither one of those is your fault.
part of it though was getting dressed down in public and seeing everyone high five you for it. it was really embarrassing and hurtful, and i totally deserved it, but still. and you made some passive-aggressive comments (at least that's the way i read them, and i'm probably wrong, again) in the community thread that were, again, hurtful but totally deserved. the thing is, i'm just imagining you and everyone else passing around my pm and tittering behind your hands about what an ass i made of myself, and i'm sure you're going to tell me i'm assigning way too much importance to myself and that i just need to toughen up and deal with the consequences, and you'd be right. i dunno, maybe i'm just an overly sensitive wuss who just needs to get over myself already. i just don't deal well with confrontation, which is a failing on my part, not yours.
i don't know you very well, but you've been around the lounge a lot longer than i have, and i respect that, and i respect what you have to say (again, when it's not showing me up for the whiny adolescent i am sometimes). i don't like being at odds with you, even if it's just my own inflated ego talking, and i don't want to be. i don't know if we'll ever be friends or be really easy around one another, but i just wanted you to know that any ill feelings on my part have been completely exhausted, and i hope the same's true for you. i know you didn't start the new movie thread just for my dumb ass, but i really do appreciate it, and i'm sure i'll make frequent use of it once i get over this and decide i can show my face in public again. anyway, i just wanted to tell i'm sincerely, sincerely sorry for jumping your ass like that.

i have visions of being 98 and in a nursing home trying to get 20 year old high school drop out "aides" to pluck my chin hair.
How snotty and judgmental! I would never rag on someone's job like that. I'm one of those lowly CNAs you so respectfully referred to, and I'll have you know that none of us are high school dropouts. In fact a lot of us are in college, struggling to pay for nursing school or whatever because Mommy and Daddy don't have the money. I don't know what the fuck you did in college but I bet you weren't a brain surgeon. CNAs are infamous for being overworked, underpaid and understaffed. We bust our asses just trying to get everyone's basic needs met, so in the future if we don't get a chance to pluck chin hairs and feed you peeled grapes at the expense of everyone else, blame the system for making patient ratios so astronomically high.
Do you even know what we do? It's hard, backbreaking, dirty, incredibly stressful and at times heartbreaking work for low pay, but it's also very rewarding knowing we've made a difference in a resident's life, because unfortunately their family couldn't or wouldn't care for them. We ARE the family for a lot of those people and we do as much as we can. The last thing we need is your disrespect! So get off your high horse, please.

While we are changing subjects. This year I got my first iPod. The touch. I totally love it. I jail broke it and have all kinds of cool apps on it. It was really usefull to me. I was able to use it to help my perents look for a retierment community since my dad has come down with an uncurable form of bone cancer.
Its also been usfull for work. I can listen to podcasts for intance on my walk and bike to work. And the google maps were useful for moving across country. My partner was accepted to in a PhD program.
Well I got to go make pizza now so she can eat. Its going to be half pepper pesto, half fake peperoni with a herb crust.

A 19-year-old is recovering after a botched attempt to jump over a moving car in Palm Bay, police said.
Florida Today reported Friday that Bladimir Barreto was conscious and bleeding when he was flown to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne after the Wednesday evening accident.
Police said Barreto was attempting the jump for a video to show his athletic prowess to college football recruiters. Barreto graduated from West Melbourne Christian Academy two years ago and played for the now defunct Brevard Grizzlies, an amateur football team.
Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez said he's ucky his injuries weren't worse. Police said Barreto likely was trying to simulate videos he's seen on the Internet.
Barreto's brother was filming as another brother drove the car he tried to jump over.

Today is the second Saturday in a row where I have not really done any family history work.
Today was mainly devoted to getting my new PC up and running, and this is the first post written using my (nearly) new PC and Windows Live Writer, which must mean that everything is working properly.
There wasn't really any problem with installing everything, I have all the CDs and licences, but what was really time-consuming was getting everything set up just the way I like it.
Family Historian is the best example, there are so many different settings and customizations that you can do, it took forever to get it back to what I am used to.
Apart from removing a couple of bits from my old PC (the CD/DVD writer and USB expansion card) it is now sitting unwanted on the floor. I'm not sure what I will do with it, I am reluctant to throw it away, but I'm not sure anyone else would get any further use from it either.
I've just remembered one thing I haven't plug in and installed yet, that is my printer/scanner/copier. I am hoping not to use the printer too much, but the scanner I couldn't live without.
Perhaps once I have that up and running I can spend a bit of time on my family tree, on second thoughts, perhaps I have spent enough time on my various computers today.

Three Mile Island, Global Warming and the CIA
By Aletho News | January 9, 2012
This article will examine some of the connections between the US and UK National Security apparatus and the appearance of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory beginning after the accident at Three Mile Island.
In the mid 1970s "climate cooling" was the topic of articles in popular magazines such as Newsweek with reports of meteorologists being "almost unanimous" that the trend could lead to catastrophic famines, another little ice age or worse. In 1974 Time magazine published an article titled "Another Ice Age?." In 1975 the New York Times ran an article titled "Scientists Ponder Why World's Climate Is Changing; a Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable," while in 1978 they reported that "an international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere."
Of course, it may be true that the "newspaper of record" is not the best source for topics that go beyond the pronouncements of official or "off the record" statements from government agents. However, it is instructive that the message changed by the end of the decade, after the March 28, 1979 accident at Three Mile Island which had sounded the death knell for the nuclear power industry that is.
Daniel Yergin writes that by the early 1980s "a notable shift in the climate of climate change research was clear-from cooling to warming."1 Yergin reports that the Department of Defense's JASON committee had found "incontrovertible evidence that the atmosphere is indeed changing and that we ourselves contribute to that change," adding "a wait-and-see policy may mean waiting until it is too late." Political action was now being called for. That action would entail reducing carbon emissions, something which could be achieved through increased reliance on the now unpopular nuclear power industry.
Nuclear weapons programs rely on the existence of large nuclear processing facilities including mining, milling and enrichment of uranium as well as a highly specialized and experienced labor pool. While it is possible to produce nuclear weapons without a nuclear power industry it is far preferable to have a dynamic nuclear industry in place. The nuclear facilities that existed in 1979 would not last forever and the industry was seen as an essential component of the military industrial complex. These factors may well have been over-riding considerations in the DoD JASON committee report.
One of the principle scientists engaged in formulating the AGW theory was Roger Revelle, a US Navy oceanographer who was employed at the Office of Naval Research. The US Navy was actually central to the development of the civilian nuclear power industry in the US due to its reactor designs for nuclear powered submarines and ships.
Another outspoken early proponent of AGW theory was Britain's Margaret Thatcher who also sought the construction of new nuclear power plants as well as Trident nuclear submarines along with new nuclear weapons. Her Conservative party also sought to crush the coal miner's unions with which they had intractable disputes. Britain went on to build new nuclear power plants during the 1980s while firing tens of thousands of coal miners.
In the US, the Carter administration sponsored the establishment of the solar energy industry, another carbon free energy source. George Tenet (later named as director of the CIA) became the promotion manager of the Solar Energy Industries Association which included companies such as Grumman, Boeing, General Motors and Exxon. The proposed 'renewable' and 'green' energy legislation over the decades consistently facilitated the viability of the development of new nuclear power plants. Other 'alternative' energy technologies were never seriously expected to become significant sources of electric power generation.
In 2008 another CIA director, James Woolsey, would also become involved in promoting "a Fortress America of tanks and solar panels, plug-in hybrids and nuclear reactors,"2 only in his case the service to the carbon free industry would come after the CIA stint rather than before. Woolsey has recently appeared in an anti-oil print ad for the American Clean Skies Foundation.
The Institute for Policy Studies reports on Woolsey's focus as an energy security advisor to the John McCain presidential campaign:
A founding member of the Set America Free coalition, a pressure group aimed at highlighting the "security and economic implications of America's growing dependence on foreign oil," Woolsey sees himself as helping pioneer a new political coalition that combines his militarist security ideology with green politics. He says, "The combination of 9/11, concern about climate change, and $4 a gallon gasoline has brought a lot of people together. I call it the coalition of the tree-huggers, the do-gooders, the cheap hawks, the evangelicals, and the mom and pop drivers. All of those groups have good reasons to be interested in moving away from oil dependence."3
The Set America Free coalition includes liberal groups such as the Apollo Alliance, the American Council on Renewable Energy and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
There is another significant bloc of support for the low carbon paradigm which has a foreign policy orientation. In promoting the reduction in reliance on Middle Eastern oil imports Woolsey is joined by prominent hawks such as Senator Joseph Lieberman, former Senator Sam Brownback, Representative Eliot Engel, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former national security adviser Robert McFarlane, Thomas Neumann of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, Frank Gaffney head of the neoconservative Center for Security Policy (CSP), Cliff May of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), Gary Bauer of American Values and Meyrav Wurmser of the Hudson Institute.
An outcome of energy independence would be greater freedom to initiate wars of aggression across the Middle East region that would destroy any potential resistance to the greater Israel project. Woolsey's positions as an advisor to the neoconservative-led Foundation for the Defense of Democracies; and advisory board member of the Likudnik Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs might shed some light on his aims. The low carbon paradigm serves both the nuclear goals as well as the geo-political goals of the neoconservatives.

You are correct that there is a conspiracy about climate change but you have identified the wrong villains.
There is a campaign of disinformation being run by the fossil fuel industry. They are using what is referred to as 'the tobacco strategy' – the same strategy that was used by the tobacco industry to ward off action against it for decades. In many cases the 'guns for hire' scientists who are spreading the disinformation are the very same people who did this role for the tobacco industry, DDT, and CFCs. You can read about it in "Merchants of Doubt". It is a very well documented book. And the authors would have been sued for everything they own if it was inaccurate as it names names and details all sorts of immoral actions by the fossil fuel companies and individuals such as the Koch brothers.
In the distant past changes in the earth's climate were driven by changes in the position of the earth relative to the sun, changes in the tilt of the earth and changes in the activity of the sun. These were amplified by greenhouse gases and the albedo effect and resulted in very large shifts in climate over a period of hundreds of thousands of years. All those natural cycles should now be resulting int he earth slowly but surely entering the next ice age and until the 70's it looked like that is what would happen. However, it is now clear that human induced climate change is overwhelming those natural cycles and each decade is hotter than the one before it.

I have considered a conspiracy by the fossil fuel industry and have found that there very likely is one.
They have conspired with the AGW fraudsters. In fact, they were set to be the primary beneficiaries of the hoped for cap and trade carbon credits scheme.
The AGW proponents who decry the funding of scientific 'guns for hire' by the fossil fuel industry simply ignore the pro-AGW science that the industry has sponsored. Exxon is reported to have spent more on pro-AGW research than anti.
In any event the energy industry's funding of research is a drop in the bucket next to the $50 billion or so that has been spent by governments trying to come up with evidence to back the AGW hypothesis.
I don't think there is much doubt that global warming is pushed as a means for cap and trade issues. Carbon footprint is pointed to also as the main contributor. There is not much talk on the increasing frequency of the sun being the main cause of this probably because there is little anyone can do about it. The global warming phenomenon has bee a subject of debate for decades.
Complicating the picture is the fact that erupting strato-volcanoes can alter the weather for years also tossing particle into the air and they have increased lately into an era of increased eruptions. This however has not slowed down warming. You don't measurie warming necessarily by how much ice appears on the ice caps, you do so by measuring the temperature of the oceans and they are warming. The oceans are warming and that is an indisputable fact and I don't think it has much to do with carbon emissions.
In the case of antarctica, there is also the matter of a super volcano being positioned under it. The ice pack is being melted from below to a certain degree by this and by the warmer ocean currents. If the ice pack should slide abruptly it would be catastrophic. There is evidence also to my satisfaction anyway it has happened before.
The Babylonian cuneiform tablets contained in the Berlin Museum suggest this scenario has indeed happened before and is known to us as the flood of Noah, except the main character was not named Noah. It is also a subject covered in Velokovsky's World's in Collision displaying buttercups still in tact found in the mouths of Siberian wooly beasts indicating they were flash frozen by some type catastrophic event.
In Sitchin's tales of the Nefilim we see such a description of the polar ice cap slipping off it's hinges and generating a tremendous tidal wave.
"The moon disappeared. The appearance of the weather changed. The rains roared in the clouds. The winds became savage, the deluge set out. It's might came upon the people like a battle. One person did not see another, they were not recognizable in the destruction. The deluge bellowed like a bull. The winds whinnied like a wild ass. The darkness was dense. The sun could not be seen."
"….the biblical and earlier Mesopotamian texts make clear that – the catastrophe began with a rush of wind from the south followed by a watery wave from the south. The source of the waters were the "fountains of the Great Deep" – a term that referred to the great and deep oceanic waters beyond Africa. The avalanche of water "submerged the dams of the dry land" – the coastal continental barriers. As the ice over Antarctica slipped into the Indian Ocean it caused an immense tidal wave. Gushing forth across the ocean northward, the wall of water overwhelmed the continental coastline of Arabia and rushed up the Persian Gulf. Then it reached the funnel of The Land Between the Rivers, engulfing all the lands."

could this be the reason why racist/zionists are hellbent on war with Iran? maybe they think money will save them and we all know money is the product of war and desolation.

Damn. I finally find a site that "gets" the BS in the Middle East. And then I discover that you don't get what's happening in the atmosphere and to the climate. Interesting that you don't present this as your theory, but as an examination of "some of the connections" — implying that your connections are more than coincidental.
How about this connection? Particulate pollution causes atmospheric cooling. Scientists think we're heading into a cooling period. The US EPA's Clean Air Act really starts ramping up in the 70s. Polllution falls, demasking the warming effects of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Anyway, thanks for your views on the Middle East, but if you don't give a flying $#@! about the future of all the children, of all species, I won't be back.

My recommendation is to read the "climategate" emails written by the central characters in the "global warming" fraud. Then decide whether their hypothesis warrants your respect. If you feel strongly about the issue it's worth the investment of your time and effort to discover where they are truly coming from.

For 24 years Bill and Hillary Clinton have courted Wall Street money with notable success. During that time the New York banks contributed:
* $11.17 million to Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992.
*$28.37 million for his re-election in 1996.
*$2.13 million to Hillary Clinton's senatorial campaign in 2002.
*$6.02 million for her re-election in 2006.
*$14.61 million to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008.
*$21.42 million to her 2016 campaign.
The total here is $83.72 million for the six campaigns,i ii disbursed from eleven congenial banks: Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, UBS, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo, Barclay's, JP Morgan Chase, CIBC, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley.iii iv
