CROMWELL, Conn. -- When Connecticut native J.J. Henry won the erstwhile Buick Championship (now called the Travelers Championship) last year for his first career PGA Tour victory, he called it "unbelievable" three times, in fact, in his first answer after sitting down with the media.
Birthdate: April 2, 1975
Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 190 lbs.
Turned professional: 1998
Joined PGA Tour: 2001
Special interests: All sports
On Monday, Henry returned to TPC-River Highlands for the first time since that day, meeting with the media in advance of this year's tournament. We put Henry on the ESPN.com Hot Seat, asking him about that victory, the upcoming Players Championship and some weighty issues on the PGA Tour.
Q: In the past 12 months, you won your first PGA Tour title, played on your first Ryder Cup team and competed in your first Masters. Has it been as fun as it sounds?
A: It's been more so. Obviously, to be out here for six years and finally break through and win my first event and from there, to get a chance to play in the Ryder Cup, to represent your country with 11 other teammates that you really feel like you have a close bond with, and then a month ago playing in my first Masters, having my little 2½-year-old caddie for me in the Par-3 Contest. It was actually funny to look up at the leaderboard Thursday after about five holes and see I was at 2-under leading by myself was pretty cool. I joked to my caddie, "Whether I shoot 65 or 85, I can say I was leading the Masters." It's been a heck of a run, there's no doubt. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead.
Q: So, what do you do for an encore?
A: You get a taste of playing at that level, I think you want it that much more. You're hungry for it again and not that I've got off to a great start this year, but I'm starting to come into my own. I've played well the last two or three weeks and I feel like I've always played well this time of year, whether it's because I grew up in this area or not. I've never really played well out West, so I'm looking forward to carrying forward what transpired toward the end of last year.
Q: OK, this is the Hot Seat, after all, so which experience was the best -- the victory in Hartford, the Ryder Cup or the Masters?
A: Wow, that's a tough question. Obviously, the victory is one thing and it gives you [the opportunities]. But to get a chance to represent your country is something that, as a golfer, to have 11 other teammates and the pressure, the anxiety you feel, the crowds -- it's something I wouldn't change for the world.
Q: You've said that being a Connecticut native, the Hartford tour stop is your personal fifth major. After winning the tournament last year, does that mean one down, four to go for the career Grand Slam?
A: [Laughs] No question. And you know, I put so much pressure on myself to play well here, it's probably the hardest one to win. You want it so badly and you get so many people out here rooting you on, kind of carrying the Connecticut flag for professional golf right now and heck, man, I couldn't think of a better place to win my first event.
Q: How many friends and family members did you have in the gallery last year?
A: Well, there were probably 40 or 50 real ones that I could call good friends and 50,000 or 60,000 others out there on 18 that were kind of rooting me home. So there's no question, when you're playing well, you're feeding off the crowds.
Q: You were an all-conference basketball player in high school. Still got any game?
A: No, I wish I could say I did, but I was "no defense." I'd sit out behind the 3-point line and every now and then knock one down. I was the shooter on the team. But for me, it was a great chance to do something different to take my mind off golf. You know, those were some of the best times of my life, being out there. We were No. 1 in the state of Connecticut my senior year [at Fairfield High School]; we lost in the state tournament. We'd sell out the gym. It was crazy. Every Friday night, all the cheerleaders and all the fans, it was cool. It was neat stuff.
Q: Back in high school, if someone could have said, "You can be a PGA Tour player someday or an NBA player someday," which would you have taken?
A: Well, I'd have to say there's no question. I'm living the dream, I love what I do and I wouldn't trade what I do for the world.
Q: If you could swat the shot of any fellow PGA Tour player, who would it be?
A: [Laughs] Tiger! Come on! I mean, he's the man to beat, both on and off the golf course. Everything he does, he does well, so absolutely. He's been swatting everybody for so long on the golf course. Someone needs to swat him back a little bit, right?
Q: Speaking of Tiger, you played against him in college, got to know him even better as a Ryder Cup teammate last fall and lost to him at the Match Play earlier this year. Tell me something about him that most of the general public doesn't know.
A: Well, he's just like everybody else. I mean, obviously, he's a tremendous talent and arguably the greatest player to ever play, but you know what? He's a fun guy to be around. He likes to have a good time, he's a family guy. People think that because he does something so well and he's such a recognizable figure that he's just surreal. And in a lot of ways he is on the golf course, because what he does is just tremendous, but he's just a fun person to be around and it's been a pleasure to get to know him.
Q: Complete this sentence: Tiger Woods will break Jack Nicklaus' all-time major record in ________.
A: Wow. I'd say in 2012. It never seems to amaze. [Woods' victory at the Wachovia Championship on Sunday] is a perfect example. He's one off the lead and he goes out and shoots 5-under on the front nine on a difficult golf course -- the wind is blowing 25 mph -- it's just incredible. You don't like to leaderboard-watch, but when he's up there, it's amazing what he does. Like I joke, the better Tiger is, the better it is for everybody else. It's a neat spot to be in, to be able to play against the best player that ever played is something pretty cool. It's something you'll tell your grandkids about.
Q: Do you think the tour needs Tiger more than Tiger needs the tour?
A: Well, I think it's kind of a two-way street in a lot of ways. As a player, what Tiger has done for the tour, the sponsorship and the people he's brought, the money we play for -- all of that has to do with the fact that he's done so well and he's brought a lot of people to the game. But at the same time, the PGA Tour is arguably the greatest organization in professional sports, what they do, what they give back to charity, how the athletes represent themselves. It's a great niche. You need each other to survive, there's no doubt about that.
Q: The Players Championship is this week. Going to feel weird being at TPC-Sawgrass in May instead of March?
A: Yes and no. I think the guys are really looking forward to it. I think the golf course is going to play more firm and fast. The weather, knock on wood, should be better. It's going to be a tough test. It's amazing, it seems like every course we've played this year has been tough. We haven't had any layups recently. I didn't play out West at the [Bob] Hope [Classic], but they had some crazy weather out there. Seems like everywhere we've played this year has been tough. [The Players] is no different. It'll be survival of the fittest, for sure.
Q: What are your thoughts on courses playing tougher and winning scores being closer to par?
A: Well, I think [the Wachovia] was perfect. I mean, 13-under wins the event. You know, as a fan, I think you want to see birdies, for the most part. At the Masters this year, Fuzzy [Zoeller] made a great comment. He said you're used to hearing roars around Amen Corner, but it sounded like a morgue out there. Obviously, the conditions and the weather got so tough that guys weren't making eagles and funneling into some of the pins until Sunday. And no disrespect, it was more the weather and the scenario -- it was cold and the golf course really got fast and firm. Which is great. I mean, it was a hard test, it was a fair test. But as a fan, I like to watch birdies. I don't like to see guys struggling. At the same time, you don't want to make it where it's just a shootout, either. I think that anywhere from 10 to 14 under par is a great winning score, in my opinion.
Q: That said, Stephen Ames' winning score at the Players was 14-under last year. Want to take a guess at this year's winning score?
A: Well, without seeing the golf course, it's hard to say, but from what I've heard, it could be -- again, depending on the weather -- it could be in the single digits to low single digits, for sure. Again, I haven't seen the course, but if it's as firm as people are saying, anything under par could be a good score.
Q: You're starting to get into some course design work with D.A. Weibring at TPC-Las Colinas.
A: Yeah, I'm excited about that. Living in Fort Worth now and having a lot of ties to the area, it's a neat opportunity for me. D.A. Weibring's a great guy and I was honored to be asked to become a part of it. More importantly, with Byron Nelson's name attached to the tournament, he's someone that I've always looked up to and respected and had a chance to meet. Everyone always talks about your dream foursome and Byron is always at the top of the list for what he meant, not just to the game of golf, but how he represented himself as a person and the things he did for the game of golf and his community were just bar none. Anyway I can help, I mean, I'd play golf in a hayfield if Byron Nelson's name was attached to it. And that being said, if there's any way I can help make the course better and make the tournament better with Byron's name attached, I'm honored to do it.
Q: I want to get your thoughts on a few issues. At the Nelson a few weeks ago, Phil Mickelson missed his pro-am time due to inclement weather, but was still allowed to play in the tournament. Did you agree with that decision?
A: Well, that's a tough one. Obviously, there's been a lot of talk about it. A rule is a rule, in my opinion. Whether it was tweaked a little bit, I'm not to say, but the tour took a stance on it and we have to live with what they said. I think it's a gray area. More importantly, I think the tour really needs to take a stance and say, 'Look, it's too gray right now. We need to make it more black-and-white.'
Q: The PGA Tour currently mandates players to compete in a minimum of 15 events per year. Should this number be more?
A: You know, with the World Golf events and different things, I could possibly see it going to 18. Fifteen might be a little low. I play 28 events, so I can't speak for other guys, but with World Golf events and majors right now, that's already seven of 'em. I don't think 18 is too much to ask.
Q: One idea that I know a lot of fans would advocate is to take a page from the LPGA, which requires its players to compete in each tournament once every four years. Would you be in favor of this on the PGA Tour? Think it could ever happen?
A: It's been talked about. I've been on the Player Advisory Council for a number of years and the tour in a lot of ways tries to do that in how our retirement plans are set up. You're fully vested in certain situations if you do play an event every four years. So that being said, there are some steps in there that have been implemented to get guys to do that. Whether they do that or not, I guess, is up to them. I think it's important that with golf being such a global game, being important in all different areas of the country and with different charities involved, I think it would be great if guys could come every four years and play. There's no doubt about it.
Q: J.J. Henry, you're off the Hot Seat.
A: Appreciate it, man.

No one knows why some places have a knack for producing celebrated artists, but it's undeniable that such places exist. Spain's artistic output during the last 200 years, spearheaded by internationally renowned names like Dali, Miro and Goya, consistently revolutionized the visual medium. The country's reverence for the visual arts is both a byproduct of history and incentive for progress, a dedication that is visible from Malaga to Santander.
Art has always been central to Spanish culture, but it was during the Italian renaissance that its art scene began to flourish. During the 16th century, borrowing techniques from renaissance artists, Spain produced such influential artists as Velazquez and El Greco. The era favored religious iconography and naturalism. Later artists moved toward a more impacting, socially relevant aesthetic. Goya's subject matter focused on social and political strife, depicting the violence and sadness of war. The 20th century's artistic landscape was partially dominated by revolutionary Spanish art trends, including surrealism and cubism. Those schools produced renowned artists Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso, whose radical approach to composition and content was initially considered scandalous, but few artists today create outside the spectrum of their influence.
Golden Triangle of Art
Madrid features three renowned museums in its center, all within walking distance of one another and forming what is known as the Golden Triangle of Art. The Museo del Prado is the most highly regarded. It's extensive historical range encompasses European art from the 12th to 19th centuries, and like many of the country's most popular museums, its collection was inherited from royalty. The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, also known as Queen Sofia Museum, focuses more exclusively on Spanish art and features Picasso, Dali, Miro, and other revered national artists. The Thyssen-Bornemsiza Museum's interest is more specialized, covering eras the other museums overlook. It's collection is composed of pieces from the Italian renaissance and those created after World War II.
Museums in Barcelona
Barcelona's Museum of Contemporary Art, located in the El Raval neighborhood, houses a collection of art dating from 1900 to the present. It covers most international modern art movements, from cubism to dadaism and beyond. The Museu Picasso exclusively features works by Pablo Picasso, organized by date. Many of the pieces were donated to the museum by the artist himself. Barcelona's major museums all charge an admission fee but offer free admission days, usually on the first weekend of the month.
Spain's coveted collection of publicly displayed sculptures spans from coast to coast, encompassing a time span from the 10th century to Joan Miro in the 19th century. The city of Leon contains many gothic-era sculptures, particularly in and around the Leon cathedral. The Galician city Santiago de Composetela's cathedral also prominently displays celebrated historical sculptures dating to the 10th century. Spain houses numerous Dali sculptures, and the "Newton de Gala"' is displayed in front of the Dali-Theater Museum in Figueres.
Certain neighborhoods throughout Spain have reputations for producing great artists and artistic atmospheres. Barcelona's Gothic Quarters features architecture designed by the legendary Antonini Gaudi. International travelers make sojourns to the neighborhood for the sole purpose of seeing his striking modernist interpretation of Gothic design. Buildings designed by him also can been seen in Leon and Mataro.

On the Settings page, it says it is Version 3.3 but just below that is a yellow box that says there is a new update for 3.2.4. I know that is out of date but it won't go away. I tried clicking on "update automatically" and it just tells me that is already at the latest version. Returning to the settings page, it still has the version mismatch in the yellow box.
Also it didn't do any automatic builds since July. I just ran a Rebuild now so at least the sitemap is up-to-date. That didn't fix the version mismatch either. http://stc-access.org/sitemap.xml

Did you see that they did a study about studies and it turns out if you listen to studies too much your baby will die. Can you believe it??
YES, I'm KIDDING!!! I'm so sick of studies!! I grew up watching tv, I don't have ADHD or autism. My parents didn't bolt everything to the wall and I survived. I slept on my side, my sister slept on her tummy, we survived. Anyone else sick to death of people telling you you're going to F up your baby if you don't follow all the million new study results?

I'm trying to install Debian 64bit from a Debian live image using YUMI on my usb drive to an Inspiron 6400. I am missing firmware for the Broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX.
I have tried configuring it myself to no avail. I downloaded the drivers, transferred them to the laptop, and it wouldn't run the install file because none of the networking directories seemed to exist.
Does anybody have experience with this, or could anybody nudge me in the right direction?

Area athletes compete for coveted titles today in Baton Rouge
Published: Saturday, May 6, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 5, 2006 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA -- Today is the day that numerous athletes in the region train for all year.
Today is why they put in the hours and the extra hours of hard work.
Today it becomes super serious.
A number of area track and field athletes will compete in the state track and field meet today.
The Class 3A, 4A and 5A finals are being held at Bernie Moore Stadium at LSU.
Entering the meet, Rachel Laurent is the favorite to win the pole vault.
She broke the all-time state high school and college mark earlier this season and enters with a height of 13 feet, 3 inches.
The mark is also the best of any female high school athlete in the country this season.
The Class 4A record at the state meet is 11-0 held by Vandebilts Jacey Tanner and Sarah ONeal of Alexandria.
The composite record at the meet is 12-0 jumped by Fontainbleaus Dana Rosenbladt in 2002.
Rachel Laurents main competition may be her younger sister Amber Laurent, who enters with the second-best mark in 4A this season at 10-04.
Chasity Chatman (shot put, second best entering at 36-04.25), and Danielle Cobb (3,200-meter run) are also representing the Lady Terriers at the meet.
Coming off parish, district and regional team titles, it may be no surprise that the Terriers qualified the most athletes of any team in Terrebonnne Parish with 10.
Vandebilts Paul Watson will be gunning for his third straight Class 4A pole vault title and enters with a mark of 14-0.
Chris Roy of Breaux Bridge also jumped 14-0 this season.
Watson will also compete in the 400-meter run for the Terriers.
Vandebilts Jeremy Ezell will be back at the event competing in the 110-hurdles, 300-hurdles and on the 400-meter and 800-meter relay teams.
Ezell was the runner-up in the 110-meter hurdles last season with a time of 15 seconds.
He enters with a time of 14.5 this season in the event, tied for best in Class 4A.
Other Terriers competing at the state meet are Joel Ross (shot put, discus), Jonathan Price, (pole vault), Andrew Dugas (110-meter hurdles), Seth Johnson (100-meter dash), Alex Breaux (who has a Class 4A best this year in the 3,200-meter run at 9:55.50) and DeQuiante Brown (800-meter).
The Vandebilt 400-meter relay team is comprised of Ezell, Price, Elliott Lewis and Johnson, and the 800-meter relay team is Watson, Brandon Eschete, Ezell and Brown.
Eva Prestenbach heads into the meet with the second-best mark in the pole vault at 10-06.
Zrwantinie Valentine will compete in the 200-meter dash for the Lady Braves, and the 800-meter relay team also qualified. Valentine, Darla Primeaux, Denise Williams and Patrice Babineaux are on that team.
Four athletes will compete in five events for the Braves.
Christian Williams is in the long jump (second best entering, 22-08) and triple jump, Jon Heigl is in the discus, Avery Campbell will compete in the 110-meter hurdles, and Caleb Williams is running in the 200-meter dash.
All-around athlete Leah Plaisance will compete at state in the long jump, triple jump and javelin.
Her javelin throw of 125-01 is third best entering.
Also for the Lady Gators, Kaylie Duplantis will compete in the shot put and discus and Kassie Morales in the pole vault.
The three relay teams at South Terrebonne qualified in the event.
Cordell St. Julian, Kenyada Smith, Brandon Butler and D.J. Wilson will run the 400-and 800-meter relays, and the team of Shaun Meche, Wilson, Larry Renard and Joel Price will run the 1600-meter relay.
Also competing for the Gators will be Butler in the 100-meter dash, Price in the 300-meter hurdles and Wilson in the 200-meter dash.
Joe Dudley will be looking to medal for the Tigers after he hit the 14-foot mark in the pole vault this season, which tied for second best in Class 5A.
The top height in Class 5A was by Josh Dominquez at 15-06.
Terrebonnes Nick Short will compete in the high jump (tied for second best entering at 6-04) and as a member of the 400-meter relay team.
Also on that team are Kenny Dillard, Byron Jones and Tirin Neville.
Dean Breaux will represent Terrebonne in the discus.

text: I plan to rent a car to drive from Florence to explore Tuscan towns. I've made a reservation with an international rental car company at the Florence airport to pick up there since I've read that it would be easier not to pick up a car in the city due to ZTL rules and possibly confusing roads in the city. The car rental at the airport will be about 95 Euro per day including tax and fee. I have also read in this forum that there are a lot of local rental car companies in the city that could provide you with good direction how to drive out of the city when pick up the car locally. I'm just wondering if renting the car with local companies would be cheaper given they can provide good directions to drive out of Florence city (avoid ZTL zones and all). If so, that would be helping me avoiding the problem of getting a cab ride from my hotel to the airport to pickup the car. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Bob Seger and Kid Rock to team up for shows
Posted January 17th, 2013 @ 11:30am
Listen to Bob Seger on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kid Rock on iHeartRadio
Bob Seger and Kid Rock will do two shows together on Seger's upcoming tour - March 15th in St. Paul, Minnesota and the next night, March 16th, in Fargo, North Dakota.
They have shared the stage before, but only for a song or two. These are their first co-headlining shows. The two are friends since 2000, having shared the same manager, and Kid inducted Seger into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
Kid also duets with Seger on Vince Gill's "Real Mean Bottle" on Seger's last album, Face the Promise.

This can happen when the clock on the node is too far out of sync for the OAuth verification to work, which results in the node timing out when trying to download from the metadata service and eventually continues booting to a login prompt without finishing the commissioning script.

A lovely and reasonably priced choice for SXSW! Very clean and comfortable and in a really cute neighborhood. The fact that it's right next to a bus line was great, my two friends and I were without a car but still able to get into downtown without any trouble. Overall, awesome.
A very cute, cozy, and clean spot in a good location! We didn't rent a car while we were in Austin, but from Stacey's apartment, we were able to get everywhere in a reasonable amount of time via cab, bus, and in some instances, on foot. Thank you Stacey for the nearby coffee and restaurant recommendations. We tried a few out and they were great.
Stacey was extremely friendly and helpful. She was quick to write me back and give me perfect suggestions on where to go, things to do, how to get around etc. Such a great experience meeting up with her and staying in her cute studio, which was described perfectly! Very clean, cozy, and well decorated. My girlfriend and I were very impressed and we cant wait to come back.
Stacey's place was perfect for our stay in Austin! Super cute apt, really comfy bed & couch- and great overall vibe :) Kitchen is all you would need- with a little breakfast bar- and wireless internet easy to connect to. Stacey was in direct contact immediately and the process was perfect. I'd totally recommend her place- which is centrally located and would stay again!
I stayed at Stacey's studio apartment for one month. The location of the apartment is superb - the best in Austin. You can walk to the grocery store or bike to Town Lake without riding on busy streets:) Stacey was a good communicator who was very helpful when a family emergency abruptly changed my plans and I had to store my belongings in Austin for several days before checking in to her apartment. She arranged storage at a friend's house and even delivered my suitcases when I checked in. Thanks so much for your help Stacey!!
Stacey was an awesome host, providing us with everything we needed in her quiet, secluded little apartment. We were within walking distance to North Lamar and dozens of shops and cafes, and most importantly, BookPeople! We will definitely book with Stacey again.
Great little space, exactly what my mother and I needed for our short trip to Austin... Stacey was nice enough to leave us bagels and O.J for the mornings, everything was clean and tidy and just as described. This is a nice, quiet and safe neighborhood. We took the bus around town which was really easy and fast from here, there's a bus stop less than a block away. There's not a whole whole lot in the neighborhood, but a few cute restaurants and other little shops, all we needed really. This was my first airbnb experience and I will definitely be using it again... thanks Stacey! :)
We enjoyed our stay at Stacey's and found her place to be just as advertised. She was easy to communicate with and helpful (and even left us bagels and OJ in the fridge). This place is a great deal and in a the wonderful Clarksville neighborhood (and nearby wonderful Cafe Medici). Thanks for your thoughtfulness, Stacey!
Stacey's place was in a good location at a fair price. Stacey was an excellent host who communicated quickly and efficiently. She was more than willing to provide tour guide-like assistance if needed. My party of two slept comfortably in a quiet location that, as adverstised, is only minutes from downtown Austin. I highly recommend booking with Stacey if you want a smooth, professionaly, and friendly experience!
Reviews From Hosts
Stacey and her friends were super nice guests. Good communication. Everything was left in order.
Stacey was a great guest - friendly, communicative and a real pleasure to meet. She took great care of my apartment and left it clean and tidy, welcome anytime!
Stacey was a fun and considerate guest, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other hosts. She had some guests over for pre-wedding celebrations, and our place was still left in such great shape, it looked like I had already cleaned it! We loved hosting Stacey and her friends and new husband and hope they come back soon!
Stacey and her friend Liam were some of our most interesting guests. It goes without saying that they were clean, tidy and courteous, and of course highly recommended! It was also brilliant that I had the opportunity to chat with a fellow Airbnb host! See you in Texas!
Stacy was a great guest, clean, tidy and considerate. She has since decided to move to Edinburgh which is great. I would highly recommend Stacey as a guest.
References (1)
Stacey is a real nice lady! She's got great taste in everything, so it should come to no surprise that her apartment is the bees knees if you're looking for a cute hideaway in the downtown area. Stacey is just as professional as she can be when it comes to corresponding with her guests and she knows all the top places to check out in Austin - so don't be afraid to ask! When it comes to people, you really can't get much better than Stacey.

Hey there,
I'm using the PGM plugin to render a Google Maps Geo Mashup including different content types with associated addresses. Is there any way I can tweak the code in order to add priority (z-index) to the markers?
I have a custom field for featured locations and I just want to make sure the markers of that locations will go at the top of the others.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance!

By Kathy Anderson, Tony Lopez, Capt. Michael N. MeyerAugust 18, 2014
TOOELE ARMY DEPOT, Utah -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, recently announced that Tooele Army Depot would have a second wind turbine constructed to promote its renewable energy goals.
In July 2010, TEAD cut the ribbon on its first wind turbine, a $3.8 million project with the same energy-generating capabilities as the new turbine. That project was completed in May 2011.
A $5.5 million contract was awarded last month to Icenogle Construction Management Inc., a company based in San Francisco, to install a new two-megawatt wind turbine in TEAD's Alternative Energy Corridor.
The energy corridor's goal is to allow the depot to become net zero, going off of the grid and producing all of its own energy in five years, said Kathy Anderson, public affairs officer for TEAD. The energy corridor is located on the depot's south side not far from South Mountain, which separates Tooele and Rush valleys.
The depot currently produces 30 percent of its own energy from the first wind turbine, Anderson said. The new turbine will provide an estimated additional energy power equivalent to sustain 400 to 500 homes.
"We take sustainability seriously at the Corps and this project will help Tooele meet its renewable energy goals, reduce its carbon footprint and enhance energy security," said Dave Simpson, Sacramento District project manager.
Capt. Michael Meyer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said no date has been set to break ground for the new wind turbine. However, he said, the contractor has begun meetings to discuss the project and should have a schedule mapped out in the next few weeks. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2015.
Tooele's mission in Utah is to support warfighter readiness through receipt, storage, issue, demil and renovation of conventional ammunition and the design, manufacture, fielding and maintenance of ammunition peculiar equipment.

Whatever the average gate is, it will be low!Boro should have built a smaller stadium, they have difficulty filling the one they have got.The grass is always good at the Riverside though, thats because of the #$%$ thats always on it.
We fill ours more regularly than a certain team has filled their trophy cabinet!!!!I have a 9 yr old son who has witnessed us winning a trophy, unless you are over 50 you havent!!!!!Sad muppet!!!!!!

Im a breakfast person so we can have breakfast first then, Mmm maybe go ice skating, bowling, racing go carts or batting cages.
I'm really open to anything as long as I can see you, hear you, and we are both comfortable. I like hanging out at parks and cafes. Night clubs and bars aren't really my scene.
Who doesn't like some small-talk over coffee?
me conformo con que la chica sea interesante
I would love to either go to a park or a zoo, just somewhere to talk and get to know each other a bit better, and maybe afterward get ice cream or stop by a cafe. Something simple and low key, but still enjoyable.
first date with someone, I'd want it to be a day date. Less expectations and more laid back and its easy to see if that person is well worth a night date
I don't have any specific preferences. Maybe an outdoor activity and then coffee and/or lunch.
There are so many outdoor festivals year round. They are the perfect opportunity to interact, people watch, eat, compare tastes, and get comfortable around someone in a relaxed but stimulating environment.
Ohhh I'm up for anything. Brunch, lunch , movie, sporting event. I'm not hard to please as long as there is good conversation and laughs.
It depends on whats going on that day...I just want to kick it! =)
my First Date would Be Rather Simply... Lunch Conversation And maybe A Walk In The Park
Music, Pool or Beach, Relaxing, and maybe even some Drinks, and What ever else that happens, happens.
Must first days will be something that dressed me in. Show me you on the first date.
Something random....i hate plans.they tend to fall through.i hate waiting.and i soooo dislike people who claim they are sooooo real....
Spontaneous activities, dinner and dancing, outdoor adventure or quiet moments spents togehter.

Ference and Hunwick play absolutely nothing like each other...
This year:
With Ference: 26-13-7 (59 points in 46 games): 1.28 points per game
Without Ference: 1-9-4 (6 points in 14 games): .42...

Ference and Hunwick play absolutely nothing like each other...
This year:
With Ference: 26-13-7 (59 points in 46 games): 1.28 points per game
Without Ference: 1-9-4 (6 points in 14 games): .42...
Some names I'd look at:
Pavel Kubina
Dennis Seidenberg
Jordan Leopold
Dan Hamhuis
Huet(5.75), Crawford, and Sharp(3.9)
Thomas(5), Wideman(4)
That's really the only move that works cap-wise and I don't think I like it
Huet's not THAT bad, but contract is just terrible. The only reason the Bruins would do it is because his contract expires in 2 years as opposed to the 4 for Thomas.
If you flop Satan and Paille that suddenly turns into and ultraslow line and that'd kill Sturm's game
I think if Bergy goes to wing, I'd rather see:
Lucic- Savard- Bergeron
Wheels- Krejci- Ryder
Sturm- Paille- Recchi ------->Recchi's speed would get exposed badly though
Satan- Begin- Thornton
There's no use in having him take all the center responsibilities, but play on the Wing... Taking faceoffs+playing below the circles? Might as well just keep him at C.
His faceoff skills are the reason I'd look to moving Krejci... Bergeron's one of the better faceoff guys in the NHL and one of the best defensive forwards.
Krejci's good, but not quite at...
I wonder why the Bruins haven't tried moving Krejci or Bergeron to wing.
Krejci played there successfully in junior and Bergeron played their VERY successfully already at the NHL level. You move...
2 goals for Zaripov tonight.
Where's that fool that copped out of the KHL sucks argument?
No you wouldn't.
Yea I was thinking deadline.
It gets us a guy who can score goals and has proven chemistry with Bergy/Sturm, as well as a veteran backup G.
It gives St. Louis a long-term goalie.
The Bruins only have Chara, Wideman, and Hunwick signed past this season.
I'm hoping Hunwick is moved at the deadline for a 3rd rounder or so.
PRAYING that Morris is re-signed for 3-3.5M
I wonder if St. Louis would be interested in a Thomas for Boyes+Mason type deal
Sounds stupid coming from the other side doesn't it?
Now come up with a legitimate argument. You can come up with one, right?
There's simply no way this is a real argument.
Malkin didn't even play an NHL game yet, so that was wayyyy out there. He was still under contract with his home-town team...
But going off your...
With Ference in the lineup were 26-13-7
Without him were: 1-9-4
I figured you didn't have the arguments to back up your claims. Care to try and come back from that.... Or should we all just agree that Alexei Kaigorodov is better than Malkin
Such a terrible argument.
The KHL simply caters to some players playing style.
During the lockout:
Pavel Rosa outscored Pavel Datsyuk
Alexei Kaigorodav outscored Evgeni Malkin
You're overrating Krejci pretty badly here.
You could probably get one of them+ a 2nd round pick or prospect
Krejci for Horton makes sense for both teams
I'm not expecting a huge move like Booth or Weiss.
Possibly Tkachuk, Poni, Whitney... I'm not expecting a big move and I hope to god Chia isn't stupid enough to give a 1st or 2nd for a rental.
Cherry hates dirty player.
It makes sense

is a jedis love for one another more important then the code?
Jedic Thon and Aryia Thon are in love and been through alot togther, they have disobayed orders from the jedi counsel when the other was in danger. Is a jedis love for one another more important then the code
The code is all
I am surprised at this outburst of emotions my student. I thought you had gotten over trusting your feelings, and had learned to mind them.
some say Jedi are encouraged to love
My Master,
My training is complete! Just because we have diffrent asspects on the Jedis code of "love" gives you no right to bad mouth me on my agenda and affairs in romance
Disrespect of ones master
My student I was cordial and respectfull in my assessment of your views. I expect the same from you, I have earned it.
hard to tell. in clone wars, obi-wan, one of the most code-loving members, admits that, had she told him she loved him, he would have left the order. however, love can lead to dark actions. as a trained (and fully knowledgable) jedi, who would be on the council if he followed the code, i say that you may love, but only once you have mastered control, so love will not get in the way of duty.

Medications that interfere with your bodys ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Medications can interfere with folate utilization, including: anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin, and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used to control inflammation associated with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic) Methotrexate There has been concern about the interaction between vitamin B12 and folic acid. Folic acid supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, folic acid will not correct changes in the nervous system that result from vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage could theoretically occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Therefore, intake of supplemental folic acid should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent folic acid from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between folic acid and vitamin B12 because they are at greater risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you are 50 years of age or older, ask your physician to check your B12 status before you take a supplement that contains folic acid.

The Embedded One Pager captures the details of our plans for the next release. We also plan to finalize the Embedded API. If you have any feedback on the one pager or the API, send your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

 If you have a specific interesting project around a new use case for embedded API, I might be able to spend some time to help you with your POC. Please drop me a line at email@example.com https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/using_maven_plugin_for_v3 Using maven plugin for v3 embedded glassfish sirajg 2009-12-10T09:37:45+00:00 2009-12-14T19:37:41+00:00 The final version of Glassfish V3 is now available for download. It contains an embedded API that allows users to to create a customized, integrated solution within a single JVM.
 One of the ways the embedded feature could be used is through maven. A maven plugin exists specifically for embedded glassfish. It allows a simple way to use the various embedded features.
 Following are the maven goals supported by the plugin :
 embedded-glasfish:run - starts the embedded server if it is not already running and deploys the specfied application. The goal keeps the server running, so the user can make changes in the application, reploy and test iteratively.
 embedded-glassfish:start - starts the embedded server with the specified parameters
 embedded-glassfish:deploy - deploys the specified application
 embedded-glassfish:undeploy - undeploys the application identified by the "name" parameter. If no name is specifed all applications are undeployed.
 embedded-glassfish:stop - stops the embedded server
 embedded-glassfish:admin - executes the specified admin command on the embedded server. For example, you could create a jdbc resource.
 A sample pom.xml snippet that would execute the run goal :

 <plugins>
 <plugin>
 <t><t> <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
 <t><t> <artifactId>maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>

  https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/using_embedded_glassfish_apis Using Embedded GlassFish APIs sirajg 2009-09-04T09:30:55+00:00 2009-11-05T22:41:11+00:00 We have been making good progress on the embedded GlasFish for the V3 final release.
 Here I will talk a bit about some of the basic embedded APIs that you can use.
 The org.glassfish.api.embedded.Server object lets you perform lifecycle operations on the embedded server. It can be configured using the corresponding Builder object. For example :
 // get the server builder
 Server.Builder builder = new Server.Builder("test");

 If you have a a preconfigured domain.xml that you want to use, you can do something like this :
 // get the builder for EmbeddedFileSystem
 EmbeddedFileSystem.Builder efsb = new EmbeddedFileSystem.Builder();
 // specify the domain.xml location
 efsb.configurationFile("myExistingdomain.xml");
 EmbeddedFileSystem efs = efsb.build();
 builder.embeddedFileSystem(efs);

 You could also specify the install root of the server and the instance(or domain) root to the EmbeddedFileSystem.Builder. For example, you can specify the installRoot using
 efsb.installRoot("installRootDirectory", true);

 Then create the server object
 Server server = builder.build();
 You don't have to specify the EmbeddedFileSystem - if you don't specify it a temporary file system would be created automatically and used.
 You can then specify the containers that you want to use. For example for web container,
 ContainerBuilder b = server.getConfig(ContainerBuilder.Type.web);
 server.addContainer(b);
 You can also specify the port that you want to use. For example,
 server.createPort(8989);
 server.start();

 The next interesting thing to do would be to deploy applications to it. For example, if you are deploying a packaged web app, hello.war, you can do this :
 EmbeddedDeployer deployer = server.getDeployer();
 DeployCommandParameters cmdParams = new DeployCommandParameters();
 cmdParams.name = "appname";
 cmdParams.contextRoot = "hello";

 deployer.deploy("hello.war", cmdParams);

 Now your application is running on the embedded server.

 You can undeploy like this :
 deployer.undeploy("appname");
 To stop the server,
 server.stop();
 https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/glassfish_performance_advisor_log_entry GlassFish Performance Advisor - Log Entry Alert sirajg 2009-02-10T07:04:58+00:00 2009-02-10T15:04:58+00:00 In this blog, I would like to talk about the "Log Entry Alert", one of the useful features of the GlassFish Performance Advisor.
 The Log Entry Alert sends an email alert whenever there is an entry in the application server's log file for user-specified logger(s) at user specified level. The logger could be one of the predefined application server logger or it could be any logger that your application uses. So this feature can be particularly useful when user applications want to send out email to users or admninistrators, in certain conditions.
 For example, consider the case when someone tries to login to your application and the authentication fails for a certain number of times. You may want to be alerted when this happens. Your application could log this in the application server's log file at the WARNING level in a logger of your choice, say com.xyz.mylogger. You can configure the Performance Advisor to send out an email alert when there is a log entry at WARNING level in the logger com.xyz.mylogger. And that's it!
 Once you have the Performance advisor setup and running, go to the admin console and click on Management Rules->LogEntry Alert. This is the Log Entry Alert configuration screen that you will see :

 In the above screen you specify the log level and the logger name for which you want to be alerted. You could specify multiple loggers, separating them by commas. For example, if you want to be alerted when a WARNING level entry takes place for loggers com.xyz.logger1 and com.xyz.logger2, you specify "com.xyz.logger1,com.xys.logger2" in the logger names field. If you want to be alerted for all loggers just enter "\*".
 Besides that, you need to specify the email address of the recipient and other email settings. You can either use the JavaMail Resource or specify other email values to get the email going. At the bottom of the screen, you can specify the targets for which you want to set up this alert.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/managing_rotated_log_files GlassFish Performance Advisor - Managing Rotated Log Files sirajg 2009-02-10T07:04:27+00:00 2009-02-10T15:04:27+00:00 In this blog, I would like to talk about setting up and using the log rotation management features of the GlassFish Performance Advisor.
 The GlassFish application server allows users to configure the logger settings in such a way that the server would automatically rotate log files, when certain user-configurable conditions are met. This typically happens when the log file exceeds a certain size. Over a period of time, you could end up with a number of rotated log files. The Log Rotation Manager feature of the Performance Advisor lets you manage the rotated log files.
 To set up the Log Rotation Manager, click on the Performance Advisor->Management Rules->Log Rotation Manager node on the admin console. This is how the screen to set up the Log Rotation Manager looks like :

 In the above screen you can specify whether you want to move the rotated log files to a different directory(typically, for archiving) or delete the files. The Rotation Policy can be one of the three options : Number Of Files, Size or Time. I'll explain these 3 options below.
 Number Of Files : When you select this option, the Log Rotation Manager will periodically check the log directory and if the number of log files exceeds the user configured number of files, the log files are either delete or moved to a different directory. So for example, if you chose the "NumberOfFiles" rotation policy option and set the NumberOfFiles to 3, the server will move or delete rotated files, when their number exceeds 3, so there are no more than 3 rotated log files in the log directory.
 Size : When you select this option, the Log Rotation Manager will periodically check the log directory and if the total size of log files exceeds the user configured size, the log files are either delete or moved to a different directory. So for example, if you chose the "Size" rotation policy option and set the Size limit to 100 MB, the server will move or delete rotated files, when their total size exceeds 100MB, so the total size of rotated log files does not exceed 100 MB.
 Time : When you select this option, the Log Rotation Manager will periodically check the log directory and if there are any files older than the specified time, they are moved or deleted.
 The Log Rotation Manager can be setup on any instance or cluster. From the admingui, all you need to do is select the list of targets for which you want set this rule up and the rest will be taken care of by the Performance Advisor. https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/glassfish_performance_advisor_install_and GlassFish Performance Advisor - Install and setup sirajg 2009-02-10T07:01:53+00:00 2009-02-26T02:37:58+00:00 The recently announced "GlassFish Enterprise Manager" has a number of cool features. In this blog I will introduce one of the interesting features, called the Performance Advisor and talk about how to install it and set it up.
 As the name suggests, the Performance Advisor is designed to help users improve the performance of the application server. It does so in various ways :

Adjust the configuration settings in domain.xml to improve performance, based on the specific installation. This is discussed in more detail in a description of the Static Tuner.
Monitor various user configurable aspects of the system and alert the user when a potential problem is detected. You can find some examples here.
Automatically configure the settings of a running server instance, based on load and performance characteristics, observed while the server is running. An example would be the JDBC Pool Configuration.
 With this brief introduction, I will talk about how to install and set up the Performance Advisor.
 The Performance Advisor is available as a patch from SunSolve, look for patch id 140751. After downloading the patch do these steps :

Extract PerformanceAdvisor.jar and copy it into <glassfish-install>/lib directory.
Restart Domain Admin Server (DAS). The Performance Advisor is now installed and ready to be configured
Access the Admin Console (typically at <host>:4848) from your favorite browser.
 The "Performance Advisor" node will appear in the tree in the left frame of the console. This is how it would look like :

 The Performance Advisor node consists of two parts -
Management rules
Static Tuner.

 Click on the Static Tuner to configure the domain.xml based on your installation. This is how the Static Tuner screen looks like :

 Click on "Management Rules". You will see a number of rules that can be configured to monitor various aspects of the running instance :

 You can set up the advisor rules on different instances and clusters. After setting those up, you will need to restart the instances and clusters.

 https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/latest_version_of_java_application Latest version of Java Application Platform SDK is released sirajg 2008-02-07T18:11:42+00:00 2008-02-08T02:11:42+00:00  I am happy to announce the availability of Update 4 of the Java Application Platform SDK .

 So what exactly is the Application Platform SDK? Well, there are a few similar sounding SDKs, and it gets all confusing. So I have summarized what these different bundles include :

 JavaEE5 SDK : Sun Java Application Server(aka Glassfish) + API doc + tutorial + Blueprints + Samples (+ Optionally, Java SE)

 Java Application Platform SDK : JavaEE5 SDK + PortletContainer + Open ESB + Access Manager

 The Tools Bundle includes the NetBeans IDE and the Portal Pack as well. This all is made clearer in the new downloads page.

 Back the Application Platform SDK - the latest update includes updated versions of Sun Java Application Server, Java SE, Access Manager, Open ESB and the Portlet Container.

 A little more detail on all the different components of the SDK :
 Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 : Sun's supported distribution of GlassFish v2 Update Release (UR) 1

 Java SE 6 (JDK) Update 4 : includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and command-line development tools for producing applets and applications.

 Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Patch 1 : a security foundation that manages secure access to an enterprise's web applications.

 Open ESB V2 : Java Business Integration (JBI)-based platform for delivering composite applications on a service-oriented architecture.

 Portlet Container 1.0.2 : implements the Java Portlet Specification (JSR 168), a standard for developing portal components, and provides a portlet driver, a lightweight portlet rendering environment.

 Java EE 5 Samples : demonstrate the technologies and features specific to Java EE 5, including annotations, Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, persistence, security, web services and more.

 Java BluePrints define the application programming model for end-to-end solutions using the Java EE platform.

 Tutorial : The FirstCup tutorial is an Introduction to the Java EE Platform to help you understand Java EE basics and then build and deploy multitiered Java EE applications.

 API documentation(Javadocs) details all the classes and packages in the Java EE 5 SDK.

 Also included in the tools bundle is the NetBeans IDE , an open-source Integrated Development Environment for building desktop, enterprise, web, and mobile applications in Java, C/C++, and even Ruby.
 So go ahead with the free download. You can always share your comments or see what others think, at the SDK forum https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/atlanta_sun_tech_days Atlanta Sun Tech Days sirajg 2008-01-16T14:42:54+00:00 2008-01-17T16:15:58+00:00 I attended the Sun Tech Days event in Atlanta last week on Jan 9th and 10th. The developer focused event attracted a large crowd - several hundred people showed up. I managed the GlassFish booth both these days and met a lot of people, mostly developers. Many of them had downloaded GF and had done some development work on it, some were using it in production and others were just curious. Overall, most people knew something or the other about GF but many did not realize it was free to use in production.

 Things people repeatedly praised :
 \* Price. People were happy with the simple support pricing structure too.
 \* Netbeans tool integration - "Works great and is free!" was the comment of someone from a startup.
 \* Admin console layout - easy to use and manage. Specially a lot of JBOSS users like the GF administration console
 \* Installation ease

 Some of the questions were :

 \* What is an application server?
 \* What is the difference between an application server and a web server?
 \* I am using Tomcat. What is the benefit of using GlassFish over Tomcat?
 \* We use JBOSS in our company. How does GF compare with JBOSS?
 \* What's the difference between GlassFish and Sun Java System Application Server?
 \* How do I do a multi-machine cluster setup?
 \* How do I do load-balancing?
 \* How do I monitor? How do I know what's wrong when things dont work as expected.
Lots of people wanted to know about monitoring.
 \* Do you have a migration tool? I am interested in trying out GF, but we have a large deployment on IBM Websphere.
 \* Is there a GF plugin for IntelliJ IDE?
 \* How does EJB entity caching work with GF? I looked for it but didnt see any option.
 \* I wanted to define payload policies for webservices but didnt see a way to do it. How do do it?
 \* Does GF come with a JBI runtime? Or do I have to get something separately?
 \* If GF is such a great appserver, why is Sun giving this away for free?

 Overall it was an exciting event. Great to see the growing interest in GlassFish. https://blogs.oracle.com/sirajg/entry/using_blojsom_with_glassfish Using blojsom with GlassFish sirajg 2006-02-27T15:34:28+00:00 2006-02-28T18:05:00+00:00 I was looking at popular blogging tools available out there and tried out blojsom, on GlassFish. Blojsom is a java based blogging package, designed to run on an application server. Using GlassFish as the application server turned out to be a fairly straightforward exercise.
I downloaded build b38 of Glassfish and then followed the instructions at GlassFish Quick Start Guide to start the server and deploy an application
 After installing Glassfish, I downloaded blojsom which is packaged as a web app. Then I copied blojsom.war to GlassFish's autodeploy directory, <glassfish-install-dir>/domains/domain1/autodeploy. I then pointed the browser to http://localhost:8080/blojsom/blog/default and was able to access the blojsom application. To log into blojsom, I went to http://localhost:8080/blojsom/blog/default/?flavor=admin (username "default", password "123default456"). Then I added some categories and blog entries.
I also added some users by modifying
<glassfish-install-dir>\\domains\\domain1\\applications\\j2ee-modules\\blojsom\\WEB-INF\\ default\\authorization.properties
file and gave permissions to these users by modifying
<glassfish-install-dir>\\domains\\domain1\\applications\\j2ee-modules\\blojsom\\WEB-INF\\ default\\permissions.properties
file. I did all this by following instructions in blojsom configuration guide

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT: This thread hasn't been posted on for a while.
What battles are there still to be won?(22 Posts)
On another thread - some people seem to think the major wars in equality in the UK have been won. It's a commonly held view and they see feminism as irrelevant.
What battles do you still think need to be won?
Well, on the local radio today I heard that due to a horrible sexual attack on a young woman in our area this week, police are advising women not to go out in the evening alone and not to walk but to make sure they have some sort of transport arranged.
I would like it if this was considered outrageous and very sexist on the part of the police. A bit like if there was a horrible racist attack and police advised all black people to stay indoors, or if there was a horrible homophobic attack, for all gay people to make sure they paid for taxis for a while. In such scenarios, I think people would consider that the police themselves were being a bit racist or homophobic to suggest that the only real protection these groups could hope for was to stay out of harm's way for a bit.
When there is a horrible sexual attack comitted in my area, I would like the police to advise all innocent men to stay at home in the evenings, or to arrange transport to and from activities, so as to make it easier for police to catch the sexual attacker.
That's the battle I would like to see won.
I think we still need to fight for women manual workers.
For making sure that every woman understands what rights she has in the workforce.
But I think there is much work to be done outside the uk,and it's vitally important that this is taken on board.
Do you mean equality for all the different groups Kim, or just between men and women?
I think that poverty is one of the main indicators of inequality, and most poor adults are women. That is an increasing problem in the UK and in many other countries. The fact that there are housing estates in the UK where the average life expectancy is lower than that of countries like Somalia would seem to be an indicator that there is huge inequality in the UK.
I also think that the treatment of carers is a major issue, and they are mostly women. There is also inequality for people with disabilities in general, and disabled women are more likely to be excluded as a consequence of their disability than disabled men.
The treatment of black men by the police is a massive human rights abuse, and should make everyone worry about corruption and the power of the state to be a threat to its own citizens.
And also, we have had a reduction in social mobility. That's surely a sign that society is becoming less equal?
It was a thread about feminism - in response to an OP talking about "men, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem".
Which has led to a very heated discussion and some men (note the word "some") wondering what feminism still had to achieve.
I haven't read it all so I might just have listed points already covered.
I would also add sexual and sexist bullying of girls in school, and homophobic bullying of pupils who are either gay or who do not conform closely enough to gender stereotypes.
I think there is now quite an urgent need for notions of masculinity to be changed. They are damaging to girls, women and any males who don't conform to them due to the way all three get treated, and contribute to issues like school underperformance, health problems and prison sentences for those who are put under pressure to conform to masculinity.
When the sdl first marched in Edinburgh the police did indeed advice all "foreign" shop keepers to shut up shop for the day
Sorry and in response to the op
Gender pay gap (improved but not won)
Glass ceiling (improved but not won)
Employers attitude to women of reproductive age
Women as unpaid carers
The whole house work issue
Genderising of clothes/ toys
Domestic violence
Women as public property, inc rape, how you dress, what hair you remove,
Judicial system, only last week a 13 yo who was sexually abused was publicly described as gagging for it.
Might it be easier to ask what we have won?
The vote
Access to contraception
Massive improvement in a lot of men's attitudes towards their partners
A sparse few women in top jobs
Paid maternity leave
Think that all came up in the discussion. But it did feel like banging your head against a wall.
I suppose you could say that there are certain elements of sexism that have an equal impact on men and women. But I don't think that being equally unhappy is much of a situation to boast about.
What was interesting is that some of the men blamed women for being involved in their own "oppression".
Such as why aren't women who buy / feature in all those diet magazines etc, who judge women in the media and who do modelling etc also blamed by feminists?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
All of the battles are still there to be won. I'd love this police response posted by rosabud:-
When there is a horrible sexual attack comitted in my area, I would like the police to advise all innocent men to stay at home in the evenings, or to arrange transport to and from activities, so as to make it easier for police to catch the sexual attacker.
Stop victim blaming, for a start. It isn't helpful in any way. It isn't the victim's fault, it's the attacker, every time.
We need equality, society is fairer when equality is better and we are all better off for it.
From what I noticed on the thread - it seemed hard to discuss with people such things when they'd never been in that situation (such as kotinka described) so they never saw it.
People who don't step in someone's shoes find it hard to believe there are still battles to be won.
Maybe two different issues there of stepping into somebody else's shoes.
You don't require any empathy to understand a set of statistics showing inequality. So I'm not sure why people dismiss those statistics, although I can understand if they question the analysis of them.
With empathy more generally, when people don't experience empathy towards a group, it doesn't interfere with their ability to understand a rational argument. So it isn't that they don't understand the events that are being told to them. They just don't care because they don't perceive people who they feel no or little empathy for as people.
Stop treating women as public property - I am so pissed off with comments being made about my appearance. (Yes I have large breasts, so did the bloke who felt the need to yell 'big tits' at me. I was just to polite to point his out.)
Pay gap, lack of respect for SAHP's, 'slut shaming', victim blaming, gender stereotyping ...
It's quite depressing how long the list is
Some things are easier to fix than others, the whole employing women if reproductive age thing could be minimised by making maternity/paternity leave parental leave and open to both parent to use as they see fit
The issues a surrounding public toilets (inc transgender and taking opposite sex children in with you) could be solved by creating unisex toilets with better cubicles and a screen around urinals
Victim blaming / slut shaming is so deeply ingrained in our culture on all levels I don't pretend to know the answer.
I think women who are seen to 'let down the side' are in the firing line in some people's minds although personally I don't think that's helpful or constructive.
Women are in fact notorious for being their own worst enemies, IMO more pressure is applied on women by women wrt appearance than is placed their by your average man.
The biggies persist!
Domestic violence - 2 women a week in uk still die from this
Growing pay gap
Objectification of women in media, societally
expectation that our natural ageing is unacceptable and must be battled against
Unpaid carers
Division of household chores
I think the OP said a lot....that many people in the West (most) believe that there is no need for feminism. I think that in itself is a major battle. How do we show that actually, there IS a major need for feminism and it is not a dirty word!!!
Another important battle to win would be enabling people to realise that women are not to blame for their own oppression. Lots of people now do get the concept that a woman should not be blamed for being raped because she is wearing a short skirt or out socialising in the evening. However, many still seem to think that if a woman judges another woman for what she is wearing then this is "women being their own worst enemies" rather than understanding that the pre-occupations of women with apearances in the first place is because that is largely the value placed on women by society (as can be seen by reading/watching almost any section of the media) and that to call women "their own worst enemies" is an extension of victim blaming in the same way that saying a woman is to blame for her own rape is victim blaming.
So, to sum up, the battle of helping society to look slightly deeper at the whole issue.
It seems like the biggest battle yet to be won is men's recognition that it will be us who decide when the battles are won, not them. That's surely more indicative than anything else of how far we have to go for our voices to be heard. It's plain bloody rude to tell an oppressed group that they're no longer oppressed. I don't nip into my local mosque and say 'you have no problems in this country, stop bloody moaning'.
Male violence against girls and women or male violence in general tbh.

Volvo wants robots to help bringing trashcans to garbage trucks, which sounds like a great idea except that it may not be
Europe's official collecting and recycling systems account for just over one-third of its overall used and discarded electronics
An adhesive with its hardness controlled by electricity can be used underwater, or in human tissue.
Just one word: plastics
Smart waters meters, rate restructuring and gray water recycling could turn the tide in California's water crisis
A new method converts scrap tire rubber into porous carbon that works better than graphite as a Li-ion battery anode
A new initiative maps where e-waste is generated, with the hopes of influencing policy on disposal
Putting people who like to fix things together with those who need something fixed makes everybody happy. And that's what the Repair Café movement is all about

Any burn should be sprayed with full strength MMS (no acid added) directly from a small spray bottle. Do not add citric acid or lemon juice at all. If you don't have a spray bottle available apply MMS directly onto the burn, making sure the area is soaked with MMS.
Wait up to five minutes, but no longer before rinsing off. If you fail to rinse off, the burn will continue to hurt. On the other hand if you do rinse within 5 minutes the burn will heal in 1/4 the time normally required to heal. This includes all those terrible skin and flesh burns and it will save lives. The pain should stop immediately or reduce to almost zero within several minutes.
Sunburns should be treated the same way. Spray the red area, wait 1 to 5 minutes, and rinse off. If the area is still sore, in about an hour spray the area again and wait 5 minutes before rinsing off. Remember, do not allow the MMS to stay in place. It must be rinsed off. The pain should be gone in a couple of minutes. Generally two doses will overcome most sunburns, but on rare occasions if the discomfort is not all gone you can use a third dose. Be sure to rinse it off.
Note that MMS is alkaline and the burns need the alkalinity of the MMS to neutralize the acidity that resides in the burned areas. This is part of the reason why burns heal rapidly after the MMS applications.

I usually ski at a large resorts further north in Vermont, but this year for presidents day weekend I was with a mixed group of 4 skiers and I was hesitant to deal with the Holiday weekend crowds in VT. We found Berkshire east a charming oldtime mellow heaven. The snow conditions were excellent, and there were no crowds and very short (less that a minute) liftlines. I don't agree that they lie about the vertical, it's there, it's just that the base is low and the top isn't very high, but they have an awesome snowmaking system and a good water supply. We had lovely tree lined trails all to ourselves. There are long easy runs as well as steeper runs too. The really challenign terrain is there, but the snow hs to be good and you have to know where to look (it's on the map). The price of rentals and lift tix was excellent as was the local draft beer at the bar at the end of the day. This resort has no condos and no on mountain hotel or "pedestrian village" so that keeps the crowds down and the skiing the way it used to be, except better!

Some of my friends would say, Omer is so angry, but most of my close friends would say that, I'm angry but they can handle with it. As I think, I'm kind like the other Turkish guys. I like hygiene in flats or everywhere. I'm hot-blooded, sociable and friendly.
I'm working now in AIESEC but in 2 months I'll be free and I'm thinking just one thing I want to travel the world. Firstly Europe and the other continentals..
I'm professional voleyball player and also I'm football referee for 2 years.
