We are not real complex beings . . .
We are not real complex beings . . .
Hilarious, but kind of cruel to tease the poor pup!
My entire life has been exactly like that.
T'aint a fit night out for man nor beast. Nor a knight.
My dog hates baths, until we actually get started. She really likes the extra attention and massaging. She even likes to be dried off! But the next time I say bath, she hides.
If you would just take us swimming every day in the pond.
Haven't we all….
Puppy aims to please. No matter how many times she teases him, he still believes that she means it when she mentions the bath and the walk. She needs to take that beautiful animal for a nice walk and run in the doggy park.
My youngest dog is a 3-year old black lab that LOVES to be dried off; so much so that he begs to go out in hard rain, runs frantically around the yard, then comes in to be dried off, then immediately does that twice more. I think it is like a water park or something, but he is having a lot of fun.
"I think it is like a water park or something, but he is having a lot of fun." (Tony C)
Our very neurotic Britanny Spaniel heads under the bed whenever we go into the cabinet that contains her ear medicine. The problem is, there is so much other stuff in that cabinet she's on the run several times a day. We moved the medicine but the Pavlov response is ingrained in that smart but twisted brain. Poor Coco! All dogs have some OCD in them but Coco is controlled by her fears. She's happy and currently 12. She runs miles each day and I give her extra stimulation retrieving a ball in the yard daily. The exercise helps. When it's bitterly cold here she's a basket case. She reminds me of my Aunt Julia who was anxious and OCD her whole life. The key w/ Julia was she was open about it..didn't use the energy so many exert trying to hide it. She lived to age 98.
The pup has its priorities
The word "Sex" gets many wives under the bed.
"Shopping" gets them jumping out and running for the door.
"It is times like this that I am struck by the close affinity of man and dog. We are not real complex beings . . .
A bit convoluted though.
The video reminds me of how politicians think elections work.
you now that lovely animal got neither….and I think that was cruel…..
Wootsy, You would claw that sweet pups eyes out if you got the chance.

Update on PG&E's ClimateSmart Offset Program
Since my first post dissing PG&E's offset program, I've had phone calls with PG&E, NRDC, 2 calls with members of PG&E's ClimateSmart External Advisory Group, plus a call with a forestry expert who consults with those who oversee the van Eck forest, which is featured on the "Our Projects" page of the ClimateSmart website. I have four basic conclusions:
1) I still think, in general, the vast majority of electric utilities should not be in the business of selling their customers offsets like trees (as opposed to selling them energy efficiency and renewable power).
2) PG&E is perhaps a special case since state regulations have driven them to be a leader on both energy efficiency and renewables. This is an important point, since many other utilities are looking to PG&E's program as a model but, I doubt groups like NRDC would be thrilled to see most U.S. utilities adopt a similar program.
3) But trees are still lousy offsets (even offset seller Terrapass thinks so), and PG&E was wrong to start by emphasizing forestry offsets and especially wrong to feature the van Eck forest on their website. They have modified their website slightly — they still feature only trees as offset projects but say the van Eck forest is "shown for illustrative purposes as the type of project that may be eligible for the ClimateSmart competitive selection process" — now that's the kind of nano-success for Climate Progress that makes all this blogging worthwhile!
4) To customers for most U.S. utilities who want to become "climate neutral," I would recommend A) doing all cost-effective energy efficiency, B) purchasing 100% renewable power or — if renewable power is unavailable in your area — renewable energy credits or green tags, and C) Buying offsets for your remaining emissions.
5 Responses to Update on PG&E's ClimateSmart Offset Program
I can't think of any carbon credits/offsets/reductions at this point that aren't dicey- most on the CCX are CO2e reductions from polluting practices (like methane capture on municipal solid waste landfills or mines).
Trees, like any offset, must be permanently protected (via easement or other mechanism), maintained, and monitored post-construction. The level of commitment is inconvenient to the market but necessary to protect the function trees serve; we have this begun to require this follow-up in environmental restoration and it is no different in the greenhouse gas context.
Trees provide significant benefits in the Northern latitudes and have a negligible albedo effect when compared to other urban structures- see http://www.chesapeakeclimate.org/blog/?p=125. It's tempting to write trees off because they are part of the natural carbon cycle and do not count to the IPCC, but a significant portion of global warming is from deforestation. Trees have a much greater potential for total CO2 reductions and are less costly per ton of credit than the carbon sequestration that the "Clean Coal' advocates are pushing so avidly.
I agree that the best offsets are those that promote energy efficiency and renewable power. Shouldn't most of offset money go towards wind and photo-voltaics. A program that put PV cells on the roofs of schools, libraries and museums would have big benefits. Planting trees can be good if it is done on a massive enough scale. As Shannon says a significant portion (I have seen estimates of 20%) of global warming is from deforestation.
What I would like to see is an offset scheme where the offset dollars flow in and are accumulated, and every time you reach a $500M dollars or so, the fund builds another wind or solar thermal farm. The revenues from selling the farms' electricity minus operating expenses would be added back to the fund, making it self-sustaining after a long while. The reinvestment of revenues gives the operation exponential growth (although it is slow, and so depends on the offset dollars for many years). Since it is not operating for a profit, and has a "free" source of capital, it continues to build farms regardless of the market price of electricity. Eventually it pushes out other suppliers (e.g. coal plants) by simply making them uneconomic to operate (e.g. by eventually driving down the price of electricity below their marginal cost of operation).
It is unfortunate that many things are so confusing. I agree that trees are "leaky" carbon storage systems, but there can be no question of the validity of carbon storage offered by applying biochar to the soil in any location. There is a very thorough discussion of the biochar effects and benefits at .
It is a mistake to state that the trees are the things that need to be protected when C sequestration is the goal. Unless biochar is the vehicle for carbon storage, the trees should be growing as fast as possible. When their growth slow they need to be harvested in a manner that do not damage the remaining trees and they need to be converted into long term products efficiently – not engaged in long distance commerce.
The production of biochar should be done on a local -small farm and forest- basis and the payments should go directly to those small producers to enhance their ability to pass the land on to family members with a stable income flow as well as a much enhanced farm or forest as the basis for their livelyhood.
There is much more to say.
For some reason the reference to – terrapreta.bioenergylists.org – was dropped in the comment above.

ECB's Stark Says Rescue Fund May Buy Bonds, Recapitalize Banks
European Central Bank Executive Board member Juergen Stark said measures to strengthen the region's rescue fund could include purchases of government bonds or injecting cash into commercial banks.
"I could imagine the" European Financial Stability Facility "recapitalizing banks or buying sovereign debt," Stark said in an interview with Dutch newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad published today, according to an e-mailed transcript from the Frankfurt-based central bank. "But this issue has to be decided at the political level."
European leaders are seeking ways to overhaul their crisis-response measures after Ireland and Greece last year were both forced to seek external aid. While the ECB purchased government bonds and provided banks with unlimited cash to fight the region's fiscal crisis, President Jean-Claude Trichet has called on governments to step up efforts to restore confidence.
The decision to buy government bonds was an "extraordinary step taken under extraordinary circumstances," Stark said. ECB council member Athanasios Orphanides said on Jan. 14 that the central bank may be able to stop buying bonds if "EFSF asset purchases improved the functioning of the monetary-policy transmission mechanism."
Stark also reiterated his opposition to governments issuing euro bonds, saying they "would provide a disincentive to pursue sound policies at the national level." He also said the euro is a "stable and well-respected currency" and that the single currency "will not fail."

Hot answers tagged handling
I customised a tupperware container by adding foam padding to carry a 30D + EF-S 10-22 whilst skiing/cycling. The camera and lens fits really snugly and the whole outfit is very lightweight, waterproof and goes nicely into a small backpack. It's survived several crashes whilst skiing so far, I highly doubt a little vibration will do it any damage (provided ...
I have been a mountain bike rider since 2000, I do a lot of trails, singletrack and even downhill. I have some experience with crashes and carrying cameras. My most sincere advice as both, a biker and a photographer is, you can't do both. Most of the time having delicate equipment in your backpack keeps you from fully enjoying the ride, because you'll ...
This is highly subjective so the best answer is for you to try them out in a store. If local stores do not have those, you can at least get a feel using the another close model for each brand like the Canon 7D and Nikon D300S. Obviously both cameras you are looking at are high-end units which dual control-dials, plenty of external controls. In terms of ...
Try a hand strap. These vary in price from $10 to $100, and similarly in construction and comfort, but the concept is the same: attaches to your camera (either by the normal strap lugs, via the tripod screw, or occasionally in some specialized way), and then you wrap your hand securely through. It's not just like those little wrist straps that come with a ...
Yes, vibration can damage parts of your camera (+lens). It depends - as other pointed out - a bit on how good the transmission of the amplitudes is. Keeping it on the body with your spine offering dampening would be a good choice, keeping it in a bag on the carrier will transmit every shake very direct. Anecdotal evidence: I took my Canon A1 along on some ...
Your best bet is to invest in a backpack-style camera bag with proper internal padding and straps to make sure everything stays in place. As with everything in photography, you can spend as much or as little as you like, but there's no point in scrimping. Try: Vanguard UP-Rise 48 Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW Kata Bug-203 PL
i have heard of people putting bike handlebar grip tape on their camera... have a look at this stuff.
Some lenses are driven by a motor in the camera (usually higher-end or older ones) - in "compressing" the lens you will be driving the motor in the camera. - in Nikons this is a little slotted pin in the mounting ring - this is not on the lower-end cameras. Switching to manual focus retracts the drive pin back into the cmaera body, allowing the focus ring ...
Not having full time manual focusing still means you have both Auto and Manual modes, if I am correct. With lenses that have a manual mode I have not faced any problem at all- I do this regularly. After turning off the camera, I switch to manual, twist it to shortest length and switch back to Auto to keep it in place.
There are several reasons why push/pull zooms are no longer used: 1) Push/pull is for the glass and steel lenses of the previous century. Today's lenses are made from cheap flimsy plastic components, with which push/pull is impractical. 2) Push/pull is only practical with particular arrangements of optical elements and groups, and lens designs need to be ...
I have actually been surprised just how much usage my battery grip gets. I got it specifically for battery life alone, but even without that, the vertical grip capability it has for taking shots rotated 90 degrees is fantastic. I wouldn't have paid what I paid for it if I didn't get the battery capacity, but having it, I do use it just for day to day ...
Try a pair of shooting gloves that have the right thumb and index finger removed like these or these. You can also use a more typical 3/4 or 1/2 finger design like these marketed as biker's gloves. These styles come in a wide variety of materials. These are made of spandex and synthetic leather for use when wearing a wetsuit.
I used to have a couple of older zooms that were push/pull models. The biggest problem I had was when I was pointing almost directly up or down, and the lens would slide forward or back. Basically, gravity can be a problem. Models with focus/zoom rings are less prone to that problem.
I own a push/pull lens (Canon EF100-400 f4.5-5.6L IS USM). Changes to focal length (zoom) are much, much, much faster with push/pull. By the time you wind your way through 300mm of focal length using a ring style adjuster, you have missed the shot. Let's face it, push/pull is more suitable for telephoto zooms where there is quite a difference between minimum ...

QUOTE: "If churches embracing the principle of sola scriptura [by Scripture alone] fail to understand and address the concerns voiced in the Emerging Church conversation, we may lose an entire generation of professing believers. … While we should applaud and apply much of its content, we must also confront that it is moved along by an old philosophical wind which ever threatens to wrest Christ's church from the foundation of her faith—the written Word of God. … If the Emerging Church eventually defines Christ's church, then the church as Christ defined it will be no more." —Rutledge Etheridge, pastor of Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church and an adjunct professor of systematic theology at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary [christianpost.com, 1/24/09]

The rock wren, or tuke, is classed as nationally vulnerable,
and the results of a study have shown numbers appeared to be
declining in Mount Aspiring National Park, in the Murchison
Mountains and in the Henderson Range in the Kahurangi
National Park.
University of Otago teaching fellow Sue Michelsen-Heath, of
the zoology department, studied more than 2000 sightings of
the rock wren recorded between 1912 and 2005.
The results of analysing the sightings showed areas the tiny
alpine bird inhabited had declined by 24% since 1984.
Predation by mice and stoats was a major factor in population
decline, she said.
Anecdotal evidence of population declines, evidence of
predation, unsuccessful searches in previous strongholds and
the extinction of five other New Zealand wren species in the
past 100 years did not bode well for the bird's future.
Department of Conservation technical support officer Peter
Gaze said climate change could also affect the rock wren, as
rats could start to colonise alpine areas as they became
The wren is the only true New Zealand alpine bird which
breeds and lives in the alpine zones all year round.
It was difficult to quantify changes in population size as
the bird was hard to detect because it was small and well
The rock wren is smaller than a silvereye, but has similar
colouring. Males are olive-green while females are more
slatey brown.
The birds have a very short tail, long legs and distinctive
cream-coloured eyebrows.
They are found in alpine basins of the Southern Alps among
rock falls, scree slopes and subalpine scrub. They can be
identified by their high-pitched, simple three-note call.
Sightings, with a GPS or map reference, can be reported to
Doc or entered on to the Ornithological Society of New
Zealand's website www.eBird.com/nz.
The findings of the study were published in the society's
scientific journal Notornis.

Frank Rich on Tavis Smiley: Mitt Romney Is Acting Phony
The candidate likes to think of himself as a working-class hero.
New York columnist Frank Rich appeared on Tavis Smiley last night to discuss how GOP
robot presidential candidate Mitt Romney is fruitlessly attempting to remake himself into a regular guy by loosening his collar a tad. "Romney is the most transparent phony," Rich said. "He's rolling up his shirtsleeves, he's letting a few pieces of hair fall out of place, a little less hair gel, and we're supposed to believe he's Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath." This Romney-as-average-Joe-at-the-unemployment-office shtick is really getting old.

Fans showed up as early as three hours before a premiere screening of the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who at WonderCon. CBR News was there as BBC America presented âThe Eleventh Hour,â featuring Matt Smith in his first story as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as his new companion Amy Pond. Many fans appeared with scarves, coats and various character costumes from the show and its spin-off series, âTorchwood.â Rumor had it Smith would make a surprise appearance with new head writer Stephen Moffat.
âDoctor Whoâ began in 1963, introducing the world to the alien time traveler who takes people from Earth to far away and often dangerous places. Since that time, the Doctor (never called âDoctor Whoâ within the show) has been played by ten men prior to Smith. His predecessor, David Tennant, had an unrivaled popularity both in the UK and here in the States. In fan circles, some wondered if Smith could possibly take over the part without Tennantâs shadow obscuring it.
In the Room 103 at San Franciscoâs Moscone Center, the TARDIS noise and Daleks sound echoed through the hall as the lights dimmed and the BBC America trailer for the series played. While Smith and Moffat did not appear in person, the new Doctor and Gillan filmed a short intro for the WonderCon audience.
The episode begins with the Doctorâs ship, the TARDIS, crashing into a English village. He previously had been horribly injured and regenerated â he is healed, but became, essentially, a new person. It is ten-year old Amelia Pond who discovers the new Doctor as he climbs out of the TARDIS.
Thus begins the most crucial sequence in the episode. It is important to establish the new Doctor even though it is always stated his persona is in flux during these transition; in the script by Moffat this is illustrated by the Doctor having constant cravings for food. After Amelia graciously prepares the item he desired, he discovers he hates whatever he previously craved. After several attempts, the Doctor discovers he likes fish sticks dipped in custard. The audience was endeared to him.
The Doctor discovers a crack in the wall of Ameliaâs bedroom is actually a crack in time and space. On the other side is a prison and something has escaped. Before he can properly investigate, he returns to the TARDIS, telling Amelia he will be back in five minutes.
Fifteen years later, the Doctor returns. Amelia â now called Amy â hits him with a cricket bat. Dressed as a police constable, she badgers the Doctor until he tells her about a door in her home that she has never noticed. Inside is the escaped Prisoner Zero who has waited all this time for the time traveler to return.The Doctor has twenty minutes the save the Earth before Prisoner Zeroâs jailors incinerate the planet. Just a typical day for the Doctor.
Actually it is not. Moffatâs script reminds the viewer every so often that the Doctor is still in the process of regenerating. In this case, he loses focus and occasionally has chest pains, but it is often more traumatic. When a new actor takes over the part, he generally spends his first story in bed or otherwise hobbled as his new form coalesces. Here, Smithâs version of the Doctor is called to action as soon as the TARDIS crashes on its side. The choice allows Moffat to present Smith in a much more dynamic way than his predecessor was introduced; he literally passed out.
Throughout the episode, Smith runs, jumps, throws objects around and steals an ambulance. For as animated as Tennant could be in the part, it seems the Doctor has not been this active in some time.
Karen Gillanâs Amy Pond â with her long red hair and Scottish accent â was instantly liked by the WonderCon crowd. After the Doctor gives her a list of instructions, she tells him no and binds him by his tie to a car door, generating applause. While she is clearly meant to be something of a romantic interest, Amy does not instantly swoon the way some of the other of the Doctorâs companions (as they are known) have in the past. Following the screening, one fan was heard to say, âI like her a lot more than the others.â
If the episode has a weakness, it is the actual plot. Prisoner Zero and his jailers are never really a credible threat and the show has to go out of its way to remind the viewer that peril is around the corner. The emphasis is entirely on the new Doctor and his developing friendship with Amy. While the best episodes of the show have tight plots with strong villains, those elements would obscure the new Doctor as he begins to establish himself with the audience. Also, the break-neck pace of the episode keeps the viewer from noticing the Doctor is actually facing a paper dragon.
âThe Eleventh Hourâ succeeds in its primary goal, establishing actor Matt Smith as the Doctor. Toward the episodeâs end, a hologram appears showing all the previous actors to play the part. Smith emerges from it and speaks into camera, âIâm the Doctor.â The audience irrupted with applause.
Following the screening, CBR News spoke with fan Steve Higgins, dressed as the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy. He gave it a glowing review. âI absolutely loved it,â he said. âI have a friend in the UK that saw it earlier today and texted me ââOh, I donât know. Iâve got to watch it again and see how I feel about it.â Now that Iâve seen it, Iâm like, âare you crazy?â That was just brilliant. Unabashedly great. So Iâm really excited for the rest of the season. â
The new season of Doctor Who premieres April 17 on BBC America.

Wayne, Sigrid Gurie and Charles Coburn are starred as John Philips, Leni Braun and Leni's father Dr. Braun, who like so many other victims of the Depression are forced to move bag and baggage from the Dust Bowl to the West Coast.

In charge of the migration westward is John Phillips who loves Leni but keeps his feelings to himself. But when Leni discovers that her sweetheart has thoroughly embraced the ****** cause, she finds solace in the arms of the faithful Phillips.

By Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. Carden, American Forces Press ServiceDecember 10, 2010
WASHINGTON (Dec. 7, 2010) -- Teachers are vitally important to military readiness, the Army's top official said today during a ceremony recognizing the top teachers in the Defense Department's worldwide school system.
Army Secretary John M. McHugh hosted the 2011 Defense Department Education Activity's Teacher of the Year and District Teachers of the Year recipients at the Pentagon. McHugh applauded their achievements, underscoring the impact teachers have on the lives of military children whose mother or father may be deployed.
"Setting the Army standard is more than a bumper sticker. It's about readiness," McHugh said. "The last thing we want is to have that Soldier [who's deployed] in harm's way having to worry about their children in school.
"They don't have to," the secretary continued. "You folks always do a great job taking care of young people."
The annual Teacher of the Year program highlights the significant role that DoDEA teachers play in students' lives and the contributions they make to the quality of life for military families, particularly the stability and consistency they provide during times of deployments and separation.
District teachers are selected after being nominated by a parent, student or colleague. There are 191 schools and 14 regional districts within the DoDEA worldwide school system. The DoDEA Teacher of the Year is chosen from the pool of district winners.
Angelica Jordan, a second- and third-grade Spanish teacher at Mannheim Elementary School in Mannheim, Germany, is the 2011 Heidelberg district Teacher of the Year and the DoDEA Teacher of the Year.
"There are so many fabulous teachers out there, and the only reason that I'm here today is because I've been able to watch my colleagues and collaborate with them and become a better teacher because of them," Jordan said. "My job as Teacher of the Year is to glorify all of the fabulous teachers out there who are doing a great job with students."
DoDEA teachers, she said, are true professionals with an important mission. They are specially trained to understand the challenges of being a military child. They're also trained to help children deal with stress, she said.
"DoD teachers are experts at welcoming brand new students into the classroom and wishing them farewell when they [move]," she said. "Military teachers understand that, often times, we're it for that kid. A parent may be deployed in harm's way, and the parent that's home is working and taking care of the kids and doing everything they can to keep it together for that year."
Jordan taught at-risk youth in Minnesota for nine years before making the change to DoDEA. She began to realize the special needs military children may have with frequent relocations and parent who are often deployed, she said.
Teachers help build communities, Jordan explained, noting the need for a strong community isn't as evident anywhere else as it is for the military.
"I felt truly called to be part of the military community where I can make a difference in the life of a child, because I felt like I could understand their worries and fears about losing a parent," she said. "Their parents could be deployed, and they may or not come home, and I can really relate to military kids, because I was missing a parent."
Military families can always rely on DoD teachers, Jordan said.
"When the kids come to our classroom, they deserve to be loved and respected and cared for," she said, "and when kids come to DoDEA schools, they need to know that it's going to be consistent, that it's going to be the same every day, and that they are going to be cared for."
Receiving the award is a humbling experience, Jordan said. But meeting McHugh and other officials during the groups' Pentagon visit also is something she'll always value, she added.
"It was humbling to walk through the halls and listen to the stories of 9/11 and how that impacted people here," Jordan said. "It really gives you an opportunity as a Department of Defense teacher to realize that I am part of more than Mannheim Elementary School, that I'm a part of more than DoD Europe. I'm part of a huge system that's here to support the teachers, and my primary role is supporting military families."

Being Molested Did Not Make Me Lesbian (Or Transsexual)
There are 23 comments on the lezgetreal.com story from Jan 12, 2009, titled Being Molested Did Not Make Me Lesbian (Or Transsexual). In it, lezgetreal.com reports that:
At the age of eleven, I was molested.
It is a statement open to so many misunderstandings.It is unfortunate that many people believe that being molested or raped leads to being homosexual or transsexual. The reality is that most gays, lesbians, and transsexuals have never been molested, raped or abused. Those of us who have are not this way because of what happened to us.

what's sad is when a person was molested as child, rfuses to beleive that other people were not.
I have been told I'm in denial or a liar by several lesbian aquaintences when I tell them I wasn't molested or beaten
it's like it's somehow unfair that they were if other people were not.

Unfortunately, for some people, being molested consumes them. I've learned to put it slowly in the past and not to assume that someone else was or wasn't.
I do find that writing about it has helped me to heal, though.
Ottawa, Canada
#3 Jan 12, 2009
yes, and that makes it sadder
I've known several survivors who refuse to continue to be victims
glad to know you're one of them.
weird too are the one who wear victimhood as some kind of badge of honour or credibility or authenticity
like having been molested makes them better lesbians or real women or something
whatever helps you through it, I guess, but it seems that wearing anything like a badge or sheild impedes your ability to form relationships and attachments to other people

Nina, thank you. I wrote this article in large part because, well, like it or not, I always feel like this is one of those subjects where it tends to get swept under the rug or misunderstood, or any number of problems.
Sometimes, I go to write an article for LGR and I wonder why people don't want to discuss these issues.

Having never been molested, and never having molested anyone, I have no experience in the matter. However, opinions are like.........everyone has one, including me. I think people fall into one of two catagories:
1. Have never molested or been molested.
2. Have been molested or have molested.
Catagory 1 for the most part would find it an uneasy topic to discuss, and probably, for the most part, are unable to relate to it, like me.
Catagory 2: Many that are molested feel shame and guilt, and therefore want to deny or ignore that it happened, or come screaming out to talk about nothing else. Few have the courage to admit to either having molested or having been molested. It is a very difficult topic, I am sure, and laying out all those feelings must assuredly be heart-rending. I feel for those that have been molested, and would hope they can come to terms with it. As for the molesters, I feel hate and distain, even tho I know it is a compulsion and they desprately need therapy.
Of course, I can tell by the previous posts that you already know all of this, and probably a lot more than I ever will.
Since: Jun 08

i think those you know that tend to view their molestation as a badge of honor are truly masking the deep-seated anger and insecurity that results from any childhood tragedy. the sad reality is that they may never uncover those feelings and eventually it come to a point that all their relationships around them will be marred for it. these things have a way of surfacing one way or another.
i wish you well

because it's uncomfortable, there's guilt, anger - and a lot of misinformation
part of the problem is that the battered women's movement is dependant on man=bad and women=sainted victim
they don't want to talk about women who victimize
either mothers who molest or beat their kids, or abuse physically or emotional their male or female partners
I wrote an article about battering in lesbian relationships back in 1995 for a local gay paper - I interviewed the batterer.
during the course of the background research, I asked a gal in the battered women's movement about men working in shelters - isn't it important for battered women to know that there are good guys out there? isn't that important for their healing?
no she said, men who are allies need to work with the men - they don't need to be in the shelters
so, with that logic, I asked, does that mean that men should run the shelters that battered lesbians go to?
she just stared at me in shock and finally said, wow, you totally led me down the garden path - if you publish that, you'll be blackballed in feminist circles.
I just think that if we're really going to help people, we have to get rid of the current regime - and people are very comfortable with it - lots of grants and donations depend on it - lot of people's identities depend on it
but it's false - and it's hurting people who don't fall into the correct victim boxes
and it ultimately makes victims of everyone
Ottawa, Canada
#8 Jan 12, 2009
I agree
focusing on that you were a victim, doesn't let you stop being one
and going to confront your abuser, generally sets you up for more abuse - usually in the form of denial of the events
Since: Nov 08
#10 Jan 12, 2009
Um...my point is that being molested does not lead one to being gay, lesbian or transsexual.
And, no, not all or even most women will be abused or molested in their life time.
Not all men are beasts either. While I have no attraction to men, I have to say that I stopped thinking that way about the same time I started dealing with the molestation.
This article does not go into the mentality behind molestation to any strong degree. That is something I'm going into in another post. Believe it or not, if I were to cover every single facet of a subject for an article, I'd end up with a twenty or two hundred page article.
As for the child molesters are targeting children because of sex- who brought that up? I neither stated in plain fact nor implied that child molesters target children because of sex. I did differentiate the differences between those who target children below puberty and those above, and that a child molester targets the child because the child is a child and not because of their particular sex.

Ok, statistic time-
One in Six women will be the victim of a rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. That is around seventeen percent. This is US only.
Twenty-two percent of women in the United States have reported being the victims of domestic abuse.
These two statistic sets are not mutually exclusive and overlap rather drastically since one form of domestic abuse is rape.
Ottawa, Canada
#12 Jan 12, 2009
thanks for demonstrating the brainwashing problem with the battered women's movement.
#14 Jan 12, 2009
child rape and molestation runs rampant on both sides of my family. it's a wonder i'm sane. was married, now lesbian. i feel so natural with women and like an onlooker to men i've been in a relationship with. to tell the truth, i don't know why i'm gay and don't really care. the sexual abuse was not helpful, but there are good and bad men and the same with women. i've known alot of lesbian women in my time and i have to say, some were molested, most weren't. almost all had alcoholism in the family, with verbally or physically abusive parents. i have known gay people with solid families and upbringing and that is as rare as in hetero families. viola, being gay is as normal as being straight. we already know that, but when will the rest of the world catch up? and when will g/l/t communities unite. by being divided and quibbling about differing opinions we are taking our collective eyes off the ball and that is WE ARE NORMAL, WE PAY TAXES, WE HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. STOP TRYING TO FIND A REASON FOR OUR HOMOSEXUALITY BY BLAMING IT ON A TRAGEDY!!! WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR LIVES, AND IF WE ARE NOT, IT'S BECAUSE THE HATERS WILL NOT LET US LIVE. THIS IS OUR WORLD TOO,AND WE HAVE JUST AS MUCH A RIGHT AS ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING TO A PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. STOP TAKING MY TAX MONEY IF I AM NOT EQUAL.

My experience with men is actually rather the opposite, and my experience with women is also opposite. I have found that, no, most men are not horrible people. And, I have not found that most women have been abused in some form or another.
The majority of men I've known in my life were nice guys. The majority of women I've known in my life were never abused or raped.
Yes, I've known a lot of horrible men in my life, and I've known them to grow up eventually. Not all of them, but most of them.
I've found that the circle we walk in tends to tint our perceptions.
As for 'think of this as a premptive strike, my original post (yes, I am the one who wrote that article) IS a premptive strike. It is a beginning. I want to explain to people that 'no, being molested doesn't make me gay, lesbian or transsexual'. I also want to explain to people that,'no, gays, lesbians and transsexuals do not molest children in any significant number.'
However, you could have worded your original comment a lot more clearly.

I think you must have missed a most important third catagory,..
3. Have been molested and have never molested.
I point this out mainly because I have absolutely no tolerance for a molester that uses the tired old excuse of "But as a child I was molested too",... <grrrrr,....>
#18 Jan 12, 2009
any molester i ever met had a sense of entitlement. their victims psyche couldn't be further from their mind. they actually tell themselves they are making them feel good and not hurting them. some people have the ability to lie to themselves and keep on going. that is a molester.
#19 Jan 12, 2009
oh, sorry i digressed....

The gender one is molested by does not change or determine the victim's sexual orientation. Those are two totally different subjects.

We certainly can disagree. And, I have to agree with you about transmen. The few I've had the honor to meet tend to be far more mature than the rest of maledom.
And thank you very much about the site and the article. And I'll let Jen know that you've enjoying her video posts.
Take care.

I have always thought that any person who claimed to have been abused/molested as a defence or mitigation of their abuse/molest/violent actions
should have their sentences doubled
if they were a victim, then they would understand the pain and trauma that those action cause
I think that claim by abusers/molestors is not truthful, but a defence tactic

AbstractIn this Phase II effort, Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. (CRG) proposes to demonstrate the capability to design and manufacture a wide range of cumulative thermal and humidity exposure sensors. These sensors will range from inexpensive (< $0.10/ea.) visual readout to remotely interrogated sensors for passive monitoring of the conditions inside packages that are never opened until ready for use. The sensors will require no electrical power or electronic memory, and offer lifetimes of twenty years or more. Based on the successful feasibility demonstration of novel cumulative exposure sensing devices in Phase I, CRG proposes to optimize materials formulation and device designs to meet the Phase II program goal. Anticipated benefits include: increased operation readiness, improved supply logistics, and the sensor's ability to be incorporated readily into existing packaging and information systems. Application of these sensing devices to current ordnance stocks will allow the freshest items to be reserved for the most critical situations. Commercial applications include freshness sensors for law enforcement ammunition and food stores, ranging from frozen foods to fresh meat to produce. CRG's track record for innovating new materials and processing technologies positions CRG for successful implementation of the sensor technology that meets the Navy's operational needs.

I bought this bag for a overnight kayak trip on the Colorado River, we were going to be in calm water.the bag did not get submerged or even that wet but for the price it's certainly held a lot of my stuff it was extremely lightweight and very water resistant i dont know how well it would have done had it been submerged for a lengthy period of time however this is a great bag to have on hand
Love this product. holds up well in wet weather and well worth the price. Stiching is adequate tio hold up for loner hauls. I would buy similar products.
Purchased two of these to use for friends that go with us on river trips (whitewater rafting). Looks like they will work well for that. Will hold sleeping bag, a small sleeping pad, some clothing and personal gear. Not as heay duty as the more expensive bags I have, but for "extras" these are great. Can't beat the price.

Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina is a major disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. This disease is prevalent in southern South America where the environmental conditions and high genetic variability of P. triticina favour epidemics. The primary means of controlling pathogenic P. triticina races has been through using wheat varieties containing race-specific resistance genes. The defence mechanisms involved in durable race non-specific resistance to P. triticina are probably distinct from those involved in non-durable race-specific resistance. We investigated the histological components of resistance to P. triticina present in three wheat genotypes: the race non-specific resistant Brazilian variety Toropi; the race-specific resistant line RL6010 Lr9; and the susceptible Brazilian variety BRS 194. Plants of these three genotypes were inoculated with P. triticina race MFP and tissue samples excised from flag leaves at various times after inoculation to assess the number of infective structures, frequency of cell death and the accumulation of autofluorescent cells and hydrogen peroxide. The genotypes showed different resistance mechanisms active at different times during the infection process. Our results for Toropi indicate that there was a reduction in the extent of formation of stomatal appressoria and all subsequent structures. During attempted penetration we also observed the production of autofluorescent compounds and late cell death, but not peroxide formation. This non-specific resistance to P. triticina involves both pre-haustorial and post-haustorial mechanisms which may be responsible for maintaining the low disease severity observed in this variety even under high inoculum pressure.

I disagree with the statement: "[Aristotle] says, not that happiness is virtue, but that it is virtuous activity. Living well consists in doing something, not just being in a certain state or condition. It consists in those lifelong activities that actualize the virtues of the rational part of the soul."
But then the author of the article says that Aristotle wrote that virtue is to take on material accomplishments. I disagree. Looks, money, and fame do NOT give you happiness. They make life easier for you, but having an easy life is worse than having a hard life. It makes you weak. It makes you depend on your material accomplishments for support. You are, then, not a strong person. You are weakened because your life is easy.
Aristotle is just as biased as any other philosopher. You can't hold him in esteem because his name is famous. I think he coveted money and fame and that made him happy; he also lived in the greco-roman era where education and social status affected whether you ate stale bread and water or drank wine and ate many meals for your evening meal. He lived in the city. And in such an institution as he was in, one needed money and fame to survive or live happily, to merely be able to afford decent food.
Today, food is easily accessed. Just work at any paying job, and you can afford to eat decent, healthful food. Work out and eat healthy, copious amounts of food and you'll become healthy physically. Mentally, you must stress yourself to grow, just like you must stress your muscles for them to grow. And Emotionally, you must be stressed to advance emotionally. College provides much of this stress. But, unfortunately, after college, you get stuck in the rut of life unless you make the effort to constantly teach yourself new things, constantly work out, constantly make every experience a learning experience. A lot of people get this, but not all.
Happiness depends on your health/advancement physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Not on wealth, good looks, or status.
I don't think Aristotle disagrees with you about that. He implies that a certain amount of money is a prerequisite to happiness; I don't think anyone would disagree with this. The reason I bring him up is not because he's famous, but because he advances what I think may be missing from your account of happiness. It seems like you're understanding happiness as something that a person possesses in private, by themselves, outside of the context of society; and it seems like you're understanding it as a kind of perpetual increase of strength. Aristotle points out the way in which happiness is on the one hand inextricably bound up with all sorts of involvements--not just property, but more significantly family and friends--and that the kind of satisfaction that one seeks from honor or private moral self-perfection can ultimately prove unsatisfying in comparison to a more contemplative life.
Just another possibility to chew over; the Ethics is a good read.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 25,000overall rating 6 of 10rating details
Pros: "Ride, cute exterior, old-school luxury interior"
Cons: "Throttle response, fuel economy"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"This is actually my mother's car (I drive a brand that begins with a P), but I've driven it frequently enough to form an impression. Reliability seems to have been a non-issue over 2 years, although a front suspension/shock groan has surfaced recently. The Mercedes-Benz hallmarks are all here. Cabin is impressively stiff and isolated for the price. Doors shut with a sound that whispers money. 80 mph feels like 50. And so on. Car has the Premium Package w/ Nav, getting typical toys like power tailgate and rear camera. Synthetic seats are a tad rubbery, but TOUGH as nails and do not appear to wear at all. Wood trim and silver accents are old-world-elegant, and the interior is generally angular and conservative. These are what keep my mother going back to the brand. Very Benzo. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. It doesn't seem to be any more frugal than the ML350 that it replaced, struggling to reach 23 mpg highway despite weighing 800 lbs less than the ML. Throttle response of a fishing boat. The rudder...it's a rudder. Suspension is very soft and not even well-damped. The car begs for straight lines. Don't think about off-roading with those delicate 19" wheels, which are pretty but a nightmare to clean. Overall, best experienced from the [front] passenger seat. Back seat is tight."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 5,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "handling, interior, bluetooth features, ride, eco"
Cons: "can be a bit pricey, needs more cargo space"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"The combination of quality, luxury and comfort makes for a great overall package. It drives like a car but provides more space and versatility. It wont blow you away with its mileage but what it gets is respectable for the 300+ hp it gives you. It is an incredibly smooth driving machine. The eco stop start feature has far exceeded my expectations. I thought I would be able to notice it every time the motor shuts off but if the radio is playing and you go straight from brake to throttle it takes off without a hitch. However in stop and go traffic it is noticeable. However, with the touch of one button you can shut it off. It handles beautifully in poor weather. The blue tooth connectivity works flawlessly likewise with the audio streaming. Great features! Much better interface than my Chevrolets. If you forgo on many of the "extra" options and just get what you want, it can prove to be a very good value for the combination of quality and luxury that it provides. Overall a great buying decision I feel. Very close to purchasing an Infiniti but I am very happy with the decision I made."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 300overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Great visibility with smooth quiet ride."
Cons: "Some lack of storage in the glove box."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Worth the wait for the 2013 model changes. Interior is far superior to prior year models. Luxurious, quite and smooth ride even with the 20" wheels. Acceleration in economy mode will start in 2nd gear for fuel savings. Under normal driving conditions, it performs superbly. If I need additional acceleration, I switch to sport mode and the GLK starts in 1st gear adding more torque and quicker acceleration. In ECO mode, the engine will shut off during stops and restart when the brake is released with no interference in acceleration and is almost unrecognizable. If AC is adjusting temperature in Auto mode, providing AC comfort takes priority over engine shut down at stops. All electrical functions are normal. Keyless is great. The only way you can lock keys in car is by using the lock function on the automatic tail gate...dealer said you could never lock keys in car until he did with the tailgate. MBrace unlocked the car. Drove an Audi for 6 years and loved it until I got to 100,000 miles then the car began to break down. Drove the Q5. Sporty, but noisy 2.0 and 3.2 had nothing to offer. Don't believe the man behind the curtain in Consumer Reports. Compare the cars yourself. MB GLK is fabulous. New Pebble Gray with cream and brown interior with pleny of dash wood. Seating in the rear is just as adequate as Audi. Dual sunroofs are filtered for less heat. Less expensive Becker Nav is great. Knob manipulation less complicated than Audi or Lexus. Used USAA Car Buying program and got a great deal. You will enjoy the new GLK!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 84,000overall rating 2 of 10rating details
Pros: "nice looking car that is fun to drive"
Cons: "not reliable."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"Most of my driving is long distance (1 to 8 hours a trip) with very little stop and go city driving. Valve cover leak that had to be repaired 3 times before they got it right (45k). Transfer case leak at 49k. Constant bulb burnout in all lights (at least 3 times in the front lights and 6 in the tail lights). at 80k I'm now told I need a new transmission/transfer box at $6,000+. To top it off my seat belt stopped working two days ago. Not a very reliable vehicle. I expected better of a MB as a first (and last) time buyer. If you buy it make sure you purchase the extended warranty."

There is something very wrong about an all-girl sex video with a cock-obsessed, behind the scenes, question and answer segment.
Fortunately, the phallic focus is nowhere to be found during the actual video and the all-girl interactions are top notch, with a natural pace and feel that's captured well and looks lush on camera.
Charlotte Stokley's anal virginity is breached by a glass dildo, Holly Morgan really and truly only does girls, and although most girls seem to have a good time rather than an orgasm, everybody's good time looks like it was pretty darn good.

Motorola plays '4G' card to justify Xoom tablet price
Executive lets slip Google music service
OWN THROAT SLASHING mobile phone maker Motorola has defended the sky-high price of its Xoom tablet by playing the '4G' card.
How can anything possibly be more expensive than over-priced Ithings? That was the question Motorola's executives were faced with when the company announced the $800 price tag of its Xoom tablet. The answer, it seems, was to justify the cost in these cash strapped times by claiming that the Xoom tablet is '4G' compatible in the US on Verizon's network.
The Motorola Mobility executive in question, CEO Sanjay Jha, gave the answer to an assortment of hacks at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
"We felt that our ability to deliver 50Mbps would justify the $799 price point. It is 32GB with 3G and a free upgrade to 4G," he said.
"Being competitive with Ipad is important. We feel that from the hardware and capabilities we deliver we are at least competitive and in a number of ways better," Jha added.
Of course, $800 buys the premium Xoom experience as marketing dweebs love to say and it will be scaled over several price points in different countries. However, that still leaves it priced $30 higher than a 3G, 32GB Ipad on Verizon.
Jha didn't finish there, either. While telling the assembled hacks what features we'll see on the Xoom he accidentally let slip that it will support Google's still unannounced music service. After name-dropping Google, he added, "There will be music service, there will be video service." µ

I wear my Equmen top when I play golf: I like the support it gives me through my core which helps my swing.LES FERDINAND FORMER NEWCASTLE, TOTTENHAM & ENGLAND STRIKER, NOW BBC COMMENTATOR
EQUMEN™ Helix-Mapping™ Technology seamlessly builds in physiotherapy insights to deliver ergonomic results. See more details
Feel Your Best
Kevin Lidlow
Physiotherapist, GB Olympic Team
The garments definitely help with postural support as they encourage optimal horizontal extension and retraction of the Scapulae, (upper central key points) giving a Scapulothoracic neutral posture. The value in this for function is to lessen kyphotic stress in the primary curvature which physiologically eases counter-stress in the secondary curvature of the segments. The wearer should therefore be aware of less effort and mechanical stress particularly with prolonged standing or sitting and may, indeed, notice improved ergonomics with upper limb activity.
Michael Zazzali, DSc.PT, OCS
Certified Orthopaedic Specialist, Physical Therapy Associates of New York
My patients like the form-fitting nature of the EQUMEN™ shirts and the back/core support they offer, reminding them from a kinesthetic perspective to avoid slouching. Since posture is very cerebral in nature and requires physical corrections, the garment has the potential to be a great motor learning tool for patients, athletes and the general population alike. The technology is very unique, supporting the areas of the body that typically break down from a posture dimension and through repetitive overuse. When worn, the shirt's HELIX MAPPING™ permits somatic feedback directly to promote spinal and soft tissue alignment through virtually subliminal posture corrections.
Dr. Mark Reid
Chiropractor,Anti-Aging Specialist
Wow, I am really impressed! The EQUMEN™ garments are truly phenomenal! They are amazing, powerful and I can see multiple applications for them.

A review of scheduling research involving setup considerations
The majority of scheduling research assumes setup as negligible or part of the processing time. While this assumption simplifies the analysis and/or reflects certain applications, it adversely affects the solution quality for many applications which require explicit treatment of setup. Such applications, coupled with the emergence of production concepts like time-based competition and group technology, have motivated increasing interest to include setup considerations in scheduling problems. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on scheduling problems involving setup times (costs). It classifies scheduling problems into batch and non-batch, sequence-independent and sequence-dependent setup, and categorizes the literature according to the shop environments of single machine, parallel machines, flowshops, and job shops.
