pushing back against ageism—which affects everyone
People are happiest at the beginnings and the ends of their lives. The vast majority of Americans over 65 live independently. The older people get, the less afraid they are of dying. Aging is a natural, lifelong, powerful process. So how come so many of us unthinkingly assume that depression, diapers, and dementia lie ahead? That the 20th century's astonishing leap in life expectancy is a disaster-in-the making? Underlying all the hand-wringing is ageism: discrimination that sidelines and silences older people. So I've written a book. I blog about it. I have a Q & A blog called Yo, Is This Ageist? (Go ahead, ask me.) I've written a consciousness-raising booklet. And I speak widely. All tools to help catalyze a movement to make discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind.
From childhood on, we're barraged by messages that it's sad to be old. That wrinkles are embarrassing, and old people useless. Author and activist Ashton Applewhite believed them too—until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces Applewhite's journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. The book explains the roots of ageism—in history and in our own age denial—and how it divides and debases, examines how ageist myths and stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of olders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and concludes with a rousing call to action. Whether you're older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride!
Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age—62. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.
ANNE LAMOTT, New York Times best-selling author
Along comes Ashton Applewhite with a book we have been waiting for. Anti-ageism now boasts a popular champion, activist, and epigrammatist in the lineage of Martial and Dorothy Parker. Until This Chair Rocks we haven't had a single compact book that blows up myths seven to a page like fireworks.
Vibrant, energetic, fact-filled and funny, This Chair Rocks is a call to arms not just for older people but for our whole society.
KATHA POLLITT, poet, essayist, and Nation columnist
Sometimes a writer does us all a great favor and switches on a light. Snap! The darkness vanishes and, in its place we find an electric vision of new ways of living. I want to live in a world where ageism is just a memory, and This Chair Rocks illuminates the path.
DR. BILL THOMAS, founder of Changing Aging
This Chair Rocks is radical, exuberant, and full of all sorts of facts that erase many of the myths and beliefs about late life. As Applewhite defines and describes ageism, new ways of seeing and being in the world emerge, empowering everyone to see things as they really are.
LAURIE ANDERSON, artist
A knowledgeable, straight-talking, and witty book that briskly explains to anyone how-wrong-we-are-about-aging. There's radical news here to enlighten the most "done" starlet, and tart turns of phrase to captivate the most expert age critic: 'All aging is "successful"—not just the sporty version—otherwise you're dead.' This pithy primer ought ideally to be given to every American adolescent—to inoculate them against the lies and stereotypes that can spoil the long life course they will all want.
Margaret Morganroth Gullette, author of Aged by Culture and the prize-winning Agewise and Declining to Decline
Ashton Applewhite is a visionary whose time has come, tackling one of the most persistent biases of our day with originality, verve, and humor. Her magic formula of naming and shaming may just shake all of us out of complacency and it into action. Whether you relate through being older now or recognize that aging is in your future, this is one of the most important books you'll ever read.
Marc Freedman, CEO of Encore.org and author of The Big Shift: Navigating the New Life Stage Before Midlife
A smart and stirring call to add ageism to the list of 'isms' that divide us, and to mobilize against it. Applewhite shows how ageism distorts our view of old age, and urges us to challenge age- based prejudices in ourselves and in society. An important wake-up call for any baby boomer who's apprehensive about growing old.
Pepper Schwartz, Professor of Sociology, University of Washington and AARP's Official Love & Relationship Ambassador
Smart, sassy and oh so wise.
Finally, a take-down of the last acceptable prejudice. Applewhite eloquently and expertly exposes the structural discrimination that makes growing older so much harder than it should be—not just for the white, affluent, healthy, and able-bodied, but for women, people of color, people with disabilities, and poor people. Full of treasures, This Chair Rocks should be required reading for everyone in aging services, to help us confront ageism in our personal and professional lives and join forces against it. As Applewhite writes, 'It's time for Age Pride.'
Donna Corrado, Commissioner, NYC Department for the Aging
An eloquent and well-researched exposé of the prejudice that feeds age bias, and a passionate argument to mobilize against it. This must-read book is also a fun-read for every age.
Stephanie Coontz, author, The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap
To live agefully – what a wonderful word! With warmth, wit and clarity, Ashton Applewhite explains what it means, while never falling into age-denial or age-shame. This is a book packed with provocative and liberating ideas, to make you leap into the air with pleasure – even if your knees, like mine, are a little dodgy.
Anne Karpf, author of How to Age
I wish my dad, who wrote a wonderful, quirky guide to the city called Washington Itself, were still around for this. He'd be so pleased.
This Guest Post is by Ms. Janet Ferguson (Ph.d), Executive Director of the Seniors' Learning Centre (SLC) at Bermuda College, Bermuda. For over 25 years the SLC has served Bermuda's fifty-five plus population, and there are currently over six hundred active members. This post first appeared on the SLC blog, and reflects Dr. Ferguson's personal opinion, not the position of the SLC.
Over a year ago, in the care of two Cuban surgeons, my ninety-seven-year-old mother underwent a complicated surgical procedure.
Setting aside the agonizing personal moral dilemma that signing-off on this undertaking provoked for an only child, this experience has made me stop and reassess much of my taken for granted assumptions about living, dying, and the care of bodies and spirits that will inevitably age. Thankfully, knowing that the decisions reflected my mother's disposition and firmly held values made things easier. Yet, please indulge me as I share some of my thoughts.
The militant anti-discriminatory position adopted by the Cuban surgeons profoundly affected my thinking. They explained that while age is influential in medical decision-making, it is not the primary consideration. That certainly challenges the frequently offered: "Well, considering her age...." Rather, the doctors explained, it is the person's physiological state that determines whether or not to move forward with a particular medical intervention.
This perspective upends our common assumptions about what bodies should or should not be able to do according to unexamined beliefs about chronological age. It challenges our established perceptions of the old, ageing, the provision of care, decline, and dignified exits. It is an invitation to explore.
For example, I question the sub-text of the growing popularity of "living wills" and the often implicit apologetic "I don't want to be too much trouble" position. What might modernity's preoccupation with agility and newness be bundling the ageing into? If we are progressive, successful societies, then we must be judged by our ability—or lack thereof—to extend equal consideration to all, irrespective of race, class, gender or age.
What is the purpose of surplus if not to ensure that this goal of equal consideration is consistently achieved? Is it really an exercise of autonomy and independence when physiological differences brought about by the inevitable passage of time convince us that we have a moral right obligation to plan swift and uncomplicated exits in the name of choice? After a lifetime of declaring "the sanctity of life," why should self-erasure become the exercise of personal "choice" because we can no longer 'strut our stuff'?
If we fear marginalization, isolation or redundancy, then ageing, a rather non-selective process, is not the culprit. Rather, the true source of the problem is popular perceptions of ageing, fuelled by a widespread and exponentially increasing "death anxiety." The sags, the droops, the stumbles, the drools and the incontinences of the ageing body are all evidence of the inevitable degeneration of the corporal. And so, as the truly anxiety-saturated societies that we have become, rather than face and courageously engage with our fears, we obliterate them with the strangest acts of pseudo-bravery, particularly those that promise certainty and control to the end—as if that were possible.
What if the rising clamour for the right to assisted suicide before we "become a burden"—choices cloaked in the drapery of freedom and autonomy—reflect being on the receiving end of widespread, largely unacknowledged age-based prejudice? This seems to me a classic example of avoiding the core issue and resorting to a sleight of hand that turns collective defeat into personal and individual triumph. The effect is to draw attention away from the real reasons for the ever-growing levels of discomfort with the by-products of ageing; the indicators of approaching death.
Instead we can choose our own way out, mediated of course by all the economic and social variables that shape our lives. As always, the poor and disadvantaged seldom have the opportunity to voice their experiences, their perceptions, or their aspirations for their ageing years; they remain, as ever, doubly silenced. We have made substantial inroads on naming, shaming, and protesting discriminatory practices based on race, gender and sexual orientation. Perhaps age is the final frontier; how very ironic.
So yes, let us look forward to a time when people over sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety no longer need to feel self-conscious, defensive or concerned about their age; when services are no longer framed as compensatory, special, owed to, or are experienced as downright patronizing. There must come a time when services and care are no longer denied or withheld because of largely irrational assumptions about physical and mental states of health based solely on chronological age.
Most importantly, we must move towards an open acceptance and celebration of the ways in which ageing offers the possibility of embracing and celebrating diversity and difference. Our declining years provide opportunities for giving and receiving care. What is the point, if we spend our time avoiding or plotting our escapes from opportunities for truly caring for each other? Will this really make us a better society or better people?
If we placed considerations about caring at the centre rather than the margins of lived experience, strong, sustainable interdependent and cross-generational relationships would be the norm; the valorisation of youthfulness and the assumption that only the young are virile and vibrant would be replaced or even eclipsed by a broader recognition and celebration of the full spectrum of traits that make us human and invaluable to each other along the entire the life course.
Most importantly, each and every stage of human life and development would be respected and treasured for its own sake and for its contribution to the collective energy and meaning of community life. Then, perhaps, descriptors like retirement and post-retirement will become as obsolete as "whites only" or "no coloureds"! And the performance of life-saving surgery on a ninety-seven year-old body would be quite unremarkable.
On June 23, a referendum (a vote in which everyone of voting age can take part) was held to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 52% to 48%. The unexpected result generated widespread shock, no surprise given the far-reaching economic and political consequences. What did take me aback was the vitriol directed at older voters, who were blamed in appalling terms.
Headlines included: "How old people have screwed over the younger generation" from the Independent and "EU Referendum Results: Young 'Screwed By Older Generations'..." in the Huffington Post, and "We Should Ban Old People from Voting" in GQ A piece on Vice, titled "Oh My God, Grandma, What the Fuck Have You Done?", began "Lean your wrinkly little face close to me …". Here's how Vox.com laid it out: "Not content with racking up insurmountable debt, not content with destroying any hopes of sustainable property prices or stable career paths, not content with enjoying the benefits of free education and generous pension schemes before burning down the ladder they climbed up, the baby boomers have given one last turd on the doorstep of the younger generation."
A sign held up at a pro-Remain/anti-Brexit rally in East London last week read: "Old white people, please die." The Twitterverse echoed that sentiment, with "most of the folks that voted for #brexit will be dead within 25 years. 75% of 18-30 voted stay. The old & dying sticking it to the young – @DJMightyMike" and "... how long till enough old people die to erase #Brexit majority? Has anyone worked that out? @matthewjdavies."
Here's another take on the lifespan issue: these supposedly selfish and short-sighted olders will live through the short-term turmoil but not long enough to play a central role in the positive changes they envision, nor to benefit from them. Misguided or not, their vote is one of confidence in the vision and abilities of the generations that follow. Nothing matters more to most olders than the welfare of their children and grandchildren, and it is grotesque to propose that those interests are inherently opposed.
How about a closer look at the data that got people so worked up about this generational divide.
In the 45-54 age group—not exactly "older people"—a clear majority voted for Leave, and even in the 35-44 age cohort, the numbers for and against differed only slightly. "You could in fact argue that the key shift occurred in the 45-54 age group," the AgeUK blog pointed out. The older voters were, the less faith they retained in the European Union. Nostalgia played a part in their decision, but so did lived experience. These are the same people, after all, who voted to join the Common Market in 1975.
More significantly class, gender, and race are all far better indicators of how people vote than age. The working-class vote in the North of England, traditionally loyal to the left, voted against the EU; cosmopolitan Londoners leaned heavily the other way; along the coast that faces Europe, concerns about immigration generated a vehement vote to Leave. I happened to be in London at the time of the Brexit vote, and almost everyone I met voted to Remain. They were largely professionals with degrees, the characteristics identified by the Financial Times as most strongly associated with Remain voters. (In comparison, fewer of today's olders had the chance to go to university.) The third strongest factor cited by the Financial Times was "not holding a passport." The fourth was income ("areas with higher median incomes tended to lean Remain, whilst lower incomes leaned Leave"). Age and turnout came in fifth.
The median age in an area was the strongest predictor of turnout and showed a familiar pattern—the older the median age in an area, the more likely it was to have had a high turnout. Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron's take on this was that "Young people voted to remain by a considerable margin, but were outvoted." True, but only 36 per cent of eligible 18 to 24-year-olds exercised their right to vote. The overall turnout was 76 per cent.
"Throw Granny to the wolves" headlines make good clickbait, and we shouldn't be surprised when the media fans the flames. Prohibition, rock & roll, Vietnam, the environment—intergenerational conflict makes for a good story. This is the first time age has taken center stage in the political narrative, however, which is a troubling harbinger. It is critically important to see these headlines for what they are: a distraction from the underlying issues of social and economic inequality that affect the 99%—younger workers scrambling for a foothold in the global economy and olders stranded and stigmatized by the same forces. As the 1% grows more ruthless in its efforts to maintain the status quo, we can expect more of the same.
In anxious times, we look for scapegoats. But blaming the Brexit on old people is more than reductionist and misinformed. It obscures the origin of the underlying discontents in global capitalism, which profits by pitting us against each other: black factory workers against white ones; working mothers vs. stay-at-home moms, old against young. It legitimates austerity measures. It ignores class differences, and the racism and sexism that also oppress us. We need a radical age movement now, to add ageism to that sorry list, to mobilize against it, and to make common cause against the forces that oppress us all. In the words of poet Audre Lord, "There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we don't live single-issue lives."
I didn't set out to become a writer. I went into publishing because I loved to read and didn't have any better ideas. I had a weakness for the kind of jokes that make you cringe and guffaw at the same time, my boss kept telling me to write them down, and the collection turned into the best-selling paperback of 1982. I was a clue on "Jeopardy" ("Who is the author of Truly Tasteless Jokes?" Answer: "Blanche Knott."), and as Blanche made publishing history by occupying four of the fifteen spots on the New York Times bestseller list.
My first serious book, Cutting Loose: Why Women Who End Their Marriages Do So Well, was published by HarperCollins in 1997. Ms. magazine called it "rocket fuel for launching new lives," and it landed me on Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum enemies list. It also got me invited to join the board of the nascent Council on Contemporary Families, a group of distinguished family scholars. I belonged to the Artist's Network of Refuse & Resist group that originated the anti-Iraq-invasion slogan and performance pieces titled "Our Grief is Not a Cry for War." As a contributing editor of IEEE Spectrum magazine, I went to Laos to cover a village getting internet access via a bicycle-powered computer. Since 2000 I've been on staff at the American Museum of Natural History, where I write about everything under the Sun.
The catalyst for Cutting Loose was puzzlement: why was our notion of women's lives after divorce (visualize depressed dame on barstool) so different from the happy and energized reality? A similar question gave rise to This Chair Rocks: why is our view of late life so unrelievedly grim when the lived reality is so different? I began blogging about aging and ageism in 2007 and started speaking on the subject in July, 2012, which is also when I started the Yo, Is This Ageist? blog. During that time I've become a Knight Fellow, a New York Times Fellow, and a fellow at Yale Law School; I've written for Harper's, Playboy, and many other publications; and I've been recognized by the New York Times, National Public Radio, and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism. In 2015 I was included in a list of 100 inspiring women—along with Arundhati Roy, Aung Sang Suu Kyi, Germaine Greer, Naomi Klein, Pussy Riot, and other remarkable activists—who are committed to social change. My book, This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, was published in March, 2016.
Part monologue and part consciousness-raiser, This Chair Rocks: How Ageism Warps Our View of Long Life is a 40-minute talk that uses stories and statistics to dispel myth after myth about late life. It's fierce and funny, and it changes the way people envision their futures. (Clip here.) Let's Rock This Chair: Say No to Ageism is a shorter and more activism-oriented talk that shows how ageism makes aging in America so much harder than it has to be. I also speak about the medicalization of old age, ageism and elder abuse, and the effects of ageism on women's lives.
I was encouraged by the statistics you quoted, forced to acknowledge my own ageist thoughts, and ultimately fired up to fight them in myself and others. You are on to something big!

These books helped me understand ageism. You can find a list of the best books on aging compiled by Changing Aging here and another good list compiled by Ronnie Bennett here.
Ageism is stereotyping and discrimination on the basis of a person's age. We experience it any time someone assumes that we're "too old" for something—a task, a haircut, a relationship—instead of finding out who we are and what we're capable of. Or "too young;" ageism cuts both ways, although in a youth-obsessed society olders bear the brunt of it.
Like racism and sexism, ageism serves a social and economic purpose: to legitimize and sustain inequalities between groups. It's not about how we look. It's about how people in power assign meaning to how we look.
Stereotyping—the assumption that all members of a group are the same—underlies ageism (as it does all "isms"). Stereotyping is always a mistake, but especially when it comes to age, because the older we get, the more different from one another we become.
Attitudes about age—as well as race and gender—start to form in early childhood. Over a lifetime they harden into a set of truths: "just the way it is." Unless we challenge ageist stereotypes—Old people are incompetent. Wrinkles are ugly. It's sad to be old—we feel shame and embarrassment instead of taking pride in the accomplishment of aging. That's internalized ageism.
By blinding us to the benefits of aging and heightening our fears, ageism makes growing older far harder than it has to be. It damages our sense of self, segregates us, diminishes our prospects, and actually shortens lives.
What are the antidotes?

Could use 1 more pitcher and a couple of utility players. Last opportunity will be this Tuesday at 6PM.
We offer a fun and competitive season relatively close to home with few overnight trips and a great environment for girls to grow as players.
Please call if you have questions or need some additional information. Kevin-317-373-7371
Open tryouts will be held for the 2011-2012 Greenwood Quake travel team on Tuesday, August 30 at 6PM.
The Greenwood Quake has a talented group of girls moving up to 14U and is looking to fill the remaining roster spots for the upcoming season.
This is the second year of the travel ball program affiliated with the Greenwood Lassie League and we have a few spots remaining. As we expand the travel program, there is a full 99 team moving forward next year so, ideally we would like to fill these spots with 98 players. However, any 97 players are encouraged to try out as this could be a mixed team of 97 and 98 this year. We are in need of pitchers and can offer excellent opportunities for those 2 and 3 pitchers needing that extra experience. For the right fit, coaching opportunities may be available.
For more information or to arrange a private tryout due to conflicts
Call Kevin Overstreet
Please arrive 30 minutes early for warm up and registration.
Tryouts at Greenwood Lassie League Fields
900 Averitt Rd, Greenwood IN
Come check us out. Join a great group of parents and girls.
Fun, low stress, competitive team. At least come and talk with me if you are undecided.
Tryouts for all positions.

Something a bitter older guy says when someone at least 6 years younger than them refuses to sleep with them, even if the girl is as far from the conventional definition as humanly possible. Commonly used as a safety word to make them feel better about themselves.
The college frat boy couldn't get the high school girl to have sex with him, so he told all of his friends what a slut she was.

In The Heat Of The Noche - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Brad telling everyone how much he is enjoying his new job at the kid's gym. The conversation veers to Max telling them how he can't stop texting Jason, a new guy he is seeing. Penny tells Max to come to her house, in the evening, and promises she will help him take control of his relationship. At work, Brad is informed by Terry, the owner of the kid's gym, they will probably have to close down because they don't have money to run it.
Max arrives at Penny's for the solution to his problem. Her solution is for Max to not text Jason until he texts Max, but he says he just can't stop himself. She presents another solution in the form of a medicine, which was given to her by her mother, who smuggled it into the country. Only Penny has it because it's banned in every other country, except Libya, where it's made. She says the medicine will knock Max out for the night, so he won't be able to text Jason. She even offers to take a few swigs herself, so she can stop herself from texting Pete constantly. They both take the medicine and pass out. The next day, Max discovers that Penny's solution worked. He didn't text Jason even once and, instead, Jason texted him.
At their apartment, Brad tells Jane that the kid's gym, where he works, is closing down. She suggests that Brad should try to save it, like Whoopi Goldberg in "Sister Act 2". Brad agrees and heads out for his mission. At the gym, Brad advises Terry on the changes they can make to save the gym. A part of his plan is to bring in some entertainment, so he invites his friends to help with the kids. At Penny's, both Max and she again have a few swigs of the medicine, to stop themselves from texting, and pass out. This time they don't manage to sleep through the night. Penny concludes they are forming a resistance to the medicine, so they down a few extra doses.
At the gym, Brad's plan seems to be working and, as a result, there are many more kids at the gym than usual. Alex and Dave are really connecting with the kids. Jane can't seem to, so Brad suggests Jane try doing something with them that is more suited to their level. At Alex's store, a customer walks in and likes the bracelet she is wearing, which was made by one of the kids at the gym. The customer offers her $150 for it, which shocks her. Max and Penny wake up, and they discover that the bottle of medicine is virtually empty. In utter despair, they try and lick the last few drops remaining in the bottle.
At the gym, Dave is really enjoying performing for the kids. They love his "Doodie" song. Alex is selling the bracelets, being made by the kids, at her store for a nice profit. Jane is still trying to come up with an idea to entertain the kids. One of the kid's parents works at a big finance company, and is really impressed with how Brad has increased business at the gym. He proposes Brad come and work for his company, and Brad says he will think about it. At home, Brad tells Jane, Dave, and Alex about the job offer. They don't want him to quit, because each one has their own vested interest in him staying on.
At Penny's, both she and Max conclude that they were addicted to the medicine, which is why it's a good thing that it's over. Jane convinces Brad to take the job, by reminding him how good he is at finance. Before quitting his job at the gym, Brad helps Jane find an activity that she can enjoy with the kids. Next, Alex is shown running a sweatshop, where the kids from the gym are making bracelets. Alex, Brad, and Jane arrive and make her realize what she is doing. She immediately begins to panic, and rushes the kids out of there. The episode ends at this point.

This is an older plugin now and hasn't been updated to work around newer WordPress additions. One such addition is the nav_menu_item post_type, and it ends up trying to validate them.
To fix this, open up toptions.php and change line 14 to this:
$myQuery="SELECT ID,post_name,guid FROM " . $prefix . "posts WHERE post_status='publish' AND post_type!='nav_menu_item' ";
Hopefully this could get implemented into a future version, if the plugin developer is still among the living.

Former Mana Party candidate and Green Party member Grant
Rogers has admitted assaulting his former partner and
possessing cannabis.
Rogers, 48, appeared in the Rotorua District Court yesterday
and pleaded guilty to assaulting his former partner on
October 4 and a charge each of possession of cannabis and
possession of a cannabis pipe. Judge James Weir sentenced
Rogers to 75 hours' community work.
According to the police summary of facts, the pair were at
Rogers' Konene St property on October 4. At about 2am they
started arguing and the woman said she wanted to leave.
As the 22-year-old attempted to leave, Rogers pushed her with
his right hand causing her to fall on to the couch. She stood
and tried to leave and Rogers grabbed her by the arms and
pushed her out of the door.
The complainant walked through a reserve and on to Corlett
St. Rogers ran after her and when he caught up with her they
started arguing. Rogers grabbed her collar with both hands,
lifted her off her feet and threw her to the ground.
She hit her head on the the ground causing her to bite her
lip. The woman managed to get to her feet and ran along Old
Taupo Rd where she was seen by police who spoke to her.
Police went to Rogers' house and while they were talking with
him they could smell cannabis.
Police searched the property and found a gram of cannabis in
a tin and a cannabis pipe shaped as a rock.
As a result of the assault the woman suffered soreness to her
face and chin.
Rogers told police he pushed the complainant for her own
safety as she wanted to walk to town and he feared she would
get raped.
Rogers admitted the cannabis and pipe were his.
Rogers' lawyer, Aroha Cooper, said the victim wanted to go
and get them more alcohol. She was scantily dressed and
Rogers feared for her safety. When police smelt the cannabis,
Rogers showed them where it was.
Rogers told the court he worked as volunteer at Linton Park
Community Centre.
Judge Weir said Rogers had a history of cannabis use and a
minor assault but they went back some time.
Rogers was the candidate for the Mana Party in the Rotorua
seat last year and got 445 votes. He was the local candidate
for the Residents Action Movement (RAM) party during the 2008
He is also a former Green Party member and was that party's
Rotorua branch co-convener in 2006. He also stood
unsuccessfully for the Rotorua District Council in the then
west ward in 2007.

The prow-shaped roof of Dover's new Sea Sports Centre juts into the sky on the beach near the Clock Tower end of the Harbour (which is where Sue`s Seafood Stall is!).
The existing Dover Water Sports Centre website states:
Dover Water Sports Centre is looking forward to moving to the new Sea Sports Centre, with a Cafe/Restaurant and "hot" showers. This means we can all keep enjoying sailing and powerboating throughout the whole year...
A Dover District Council webpage currently says (under "Facilities Under Development"):
The Dover Sea Sports Centre is currently being built on the seafront in Dover Harbour. The centre will provide an exceptional facility for local clubs and the opportunity to introduce more people to a range of outstanding sea sport opportunities. On the upper floor there will be catering, public areas and changing rooms while storage facilities, boathouse and lecture rooms are housed at beach level.
The facility cost approximately £2.5 million to build and was funded by an extensive range of organisations, local authorities and individuals. The facility is scheduled to open to the public later in 2009.
At the time of writing (1st of October, 2009) there are flyers dotted around town saying the anticipated date of completion is still "Late 2009", at which time the Dover Sea Sports Centre website will probably become active.
On the pebbles to the right of the Sea Sports Centre are: the Lifeguard Station (with the blue railings on top), the West Promenade Kiosk (out of shot), and then the single-storey building (with the white gable end) belonging to Dover Rowing Club.
Above these buildings is the long white row of the Churchill Hotel (in Waterloo Crescent) with the seperate block housing the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club on the far right
The seagull winging its way across the photo has a fair-sized object in its beak and could be heading towards East Cliff to feed a hungry chick.
The wooded hills to the right of the Sea Sports Centre are part of the Western Heights which contains a hidden Napoleonic fortress some 1500 yards long and up to 600 yards wide.
The inverted triangular feature towards the bottom right of the wooded area are the Pilots Meadow Allotments. It was here in 1852 (when it really was a meadow) that Charles Dicken's is reputed to have planned a chapter or two of Bleak House: see the Charles Dickens and Pilot`s Meadow, Adrian Street photo.
Hidden in the trees to the left of Pilot's Meadow are the ruins of the Courts Folly, a 200 year-old two-storey miniature castle which very few local people know about: Court`s Folly video slideshow.

It Matters!
Have you ever thought about how much power you have through your purchasing? Each time you swipe that piece of plastic or hand over a $5 bill…you have an unbelievable power! Are ya sitting there scratching your noggin right now?!? It's okay…most of us get so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life that we don't even stop to think about such things. So, now's the time…as we enter this holiday season of spending extra money…let's think about a few things.
Each time we make a purchase, we have the power to make a difference, change lives, and bring hope…OR, sadly we have the power to hurt…to perpetuate the cycle of poverty, slavery, and human-trafficking.
Question #1: WHERE do your clothes, coffee, or even chocolate come from? The "made in…" tag definitely can give you the first clue, but past that, we often times have no idea; whether the item has come from a fair-wage operation where the workers are treated with dignity and respect or whether the item comes from a factory where PEOPLE are working under inhumane conditions and being paid unfair wages. Purchasing items that come from factories treating human life with injustice and paying wages that don't begin to meet a family's needs, perpetuates the cycle.
Question #2: WHO made your shirt, harvested your coffee beans, or packaged your chocolate bar? Sadly, many of us associate the word 'slavery' with our history books, but in actuality the fight against this despicable word is FAR from over. An estimated 29.8 million people are enslaved across the globe; with 26% of those people under the age of 18. This is a fight that we all need to find a way to be a part of. Some of us are called in ways that place us on the front-lines, but all of us are able to fight through how we spend our money. Just a few minutes of research can make a difference. (statistics from borgenproject.org)
Question #3: HOW was your shirt manufactured, your coffee harvested, or your chocolate turn from bean to bar? In a factory? Through a family owned business? Facts 'unknown'? Shady operations want to fly under the radar, stay out of sight, remain unknown… Chances are, if you can't locate the HOW your item came to being, it's not a pretty story. Many times these shady operations are also funding endless other shady operations. Take for instance, the crazy cheap markets in Mexico, Cambodia, Thailand, etc…WHERE does all that money go? HOW does it effect the lives of many enslaved, trafficked, or impoverished in the area?
All this to say….IT MATTERS!…so much! How you spend your money, what you support, what you don't support…together we can make a difference in the lives of many…in the lives of people suffering around the globe. If we stop funding companies that are hurting, the hurting will eventually end! As we enter this season of giving, we ask you to consider making a difference this year…give gifts that CHANGE LIVES, BRING HOPE, and STOP the unjust treatment of God's children around the globe! 3seams is just one of hundreds of organizations and companies working with individuals around the world in a fair, uplifting, and hope-seeking way! There are so many amazing gifts out there that will, in turn, lift people from oppression, poverty, slavery, and despair… GO FIND THEM!

This is excellent! My hubby and I really like the way the sharp cheddar cheese lends itself to the other flavors. It's very good! We topped ours with chopped walnuts, as that's what we had on hand, but it would be good with anything. Thanks so much!
As you can see by my photo, I made a ball instead of a log and it is an impressive appetizer. By the tastes I snuck while making it, I know this Cheddar Cheese Ball will be a big hit on my Thanksgiving table. DD is going to love this!
GREAT Appetizer... I also used some toasted pecans...Gone in minutes!! THANKS!!!

Happy Valentine's Day! So, you may be wondering, if you're all alone on this (most cruel?) of holidays, what can you do to find true love? Can a psychic help? After all, everyone needs love!
Various individuals describe true love in various ways but most individuals would agree that it is a state of completely caring for somebody and at the same time, being cared for by somebody. Complete romantic bliss with your beloved. We understand true love through stories. People who are truly in love would do everything for one another supporting each other regardless of what is done or said. It just feels absolutely right to share a powerful connection with someone you actually love. True lovers live happily ever after.
A reliable psychic would advise people not to look for true love since this will happen at the right, maybe when you least expect it. So no matter how much you need and want true love and even if you think you can not continue living your life without it, if it is not the right time then you will not find true love. In fact, the most important help a psychic provide is to tell you if the time is right for true love. depending on your body language, characteristics, emotional nature as well as psychological and spiritual signs, qualified psychics could read your future. Like for example, if you are a joyful person who has a good understanding of yourself then you would probably find true love faster than individuals who do not have these characteristics. An intuitive would mirror this back to you. Even if it can be difficult to see through the surface at first, a psychic would see that you have a good heart and she or he will let you know right away.
A psychic will know if it is the right time for you and he or she will\would propose some helpful ways for you to discover true love. Some activities or places might offer a good chance to meet him or her, depending on the nature of your psychic condition. If you have a lively, fiery state, you might attract love in athletic activities, whereas if your state is calmer and quieter, joining a book group could be a better approach. So as to improve the chances of discovering true love, an accurate psychic reading could also give other suggestions like for instance what gemstones to purchase, what colors to wear and what meditations to do.
No one could predict true love and sometimes individuals feel that it is just playing some kind of a game. Psychics can suggest something that could lead you to the path of true love. For instance, if your psychic says to travel, you could meet somebody with whom you feel a strong friendship bond while traveling. Although you can be jovial having spent a lot of fantastic time with this individual going to various places, that does not mean that it is true love.
The thing about true love is that you have to be in the right place for it. We all have our paths that we follow in life, and for some, maybe the true task of the psychic is to help you look for the capital L love that comes from loving yourself and loving the divine forces that fill the world.

I have a never used version of 'Flight Simulator X - Deluxe Edition' which I'd like to install on a laptop for my kids.
Problem is the laptop doesn't have that much disk spare and FS requires a nominal 15Gb (the machine has about 20Gb spare but really I don't want it get much less than that because of other stuff I use it for).
Can I install the game to a flash drive mounted on the laptop and then when they want to play the game stick the flash drive in and start the game as normal ?
I can't see why this wouldn't work but just thought I'd check.
If there's something about flash drives which is bad would it be OK with a removeable hard drive over USB 2 ?
The OS is Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
EDIT: Just for future readers I went ahead and did this and it works fine.

HONG KONG: It may not be everyone's idea of a dream home, but for bargain hunters in Hong Kong's turbocharged property market, apartments that belonged to the recently deceased are proving irresistible — and the more gruesome the occupant's demise the better.
Popular belief in a city awash with superstition runs that the ghost of a person who dies in unnatural circumstances — a suicide, murder or bad accident — inhabits their home, passing misfortune onto the new occupants.
The threat carries weight in a city where feng shui consultants do brisk business; families placate the "hungry ghosts" of their ancestors with offerings and people even refrain from whistling in the street in fear of disturbing lurking spooks.
By law, buyers are entitled to details on so-called haunted houses — or hongza in Cantonese — and many rigorously check the backstory to their potential purchase.
But not everyone is afraid of ghosts, and in the cut and thrust of Hong Kong's runaway property market some investors are actively following the tragedies, aware that dark incidents push the price down.
Discounts of between 20-40 per cent are the standard for haunted houses with a knock-on for the rental yield, says Eric Wong of the squarefoot.com.hk property website, which has a channel dedicated to the phenomenon.
"Hong Kong people are sensitive to ghosts and bad luck," he says.
"They believe in feng shui — if something bad has happened in a home people won't take it… but Hong Kong is small and very expensive, so if a good discount comes there are others ready to make the investment."
And for the savvy buyer there are plenty to choose from.
Among the hundreds of macabre listings on the squarefoot.com.hk website is the home of a local football player who, crushed by the weight of debt and relationship problems, jumped from his 36th floor flat.
Then there is the divorcee whose body was discovered a month after she poisoned herself with the fumes of burning charcoal, or the woman hacked to death and mutilated by her domestic helper in an exclusive apartment block.
Such morbid tales are a boon to investors who would not live in a haunted house themselves, but will gladly put it up for rent.
"There's a group of investors who bid for these places specifically and then rent it to people who don't mind its bad history," Wong adds.
More often than not those are foreign expatriates — widely known in local slang as gweilos — who are not overly concerned about the history of their apartment.
"Gweilos don't have the same beliefs as Hong Kong people and just want a cheaper price in a nice area," says Winnie Ng of Rich Harvest property agency.
Haunted houses may be sold for 40 per cent below market price depending on what has happened there and how recently it took place, Ng says, equalling the impact of the 2003 SARS outbreak that had investors fleeing the city.
Also, while the market is slowing, properties remain expensive, narrowing the pool available to prospective buyers.
A deposit on an entry-level unit is more than three times a typical first-time buyer's gross household income, Barclays Capital Research said in a recent report.
Home prices have leapt more than 70 per cent since 2009, while banks have increased mortgage rates five times since March, pricing all but the wealthiest out of the market.
With many young Hong Kongers forced to live at home deep into their 20s or 30s, haunted houses are providing an unlikely route onto the housing ladder.
Abby Lau, 26, who lives with her family and is saving to move, says many among her age group are looking at haunted houses as a realistic first-time purchase or cheap rent.
"Everyone knows they are cheaper and in four or five years people will forget what's happened there so it can bring a big return later," she says, laughing off the idea she herself would move into a hongza home.
But soon Lau and tens of thousands like her may find they have to live with the city's ghosts whether they like it or not.
As Ng of Rich Harvest explains, this city's seven million people cram into a small area where many buildings are old, raising the likelihood someone has died in bad circumstances in every block.
"Someone has to live in them… really there is no choice," she says.

On December 13, 2011 the Dothan Police Department responded to a vehicle theft in progress in the 400 block of Railroad Avenue. The victim stated he pulled into a residence on Railroad Avenue and left his truck running while he went briefly into the residence. He stated while inside he heard the truck door shut so he ran outside and saw a male backing the truck out of the driveway. The victim said he was able to run and jump into the truck with the suspect who he detained until police arrived.
• Willie Charles Dickens, black male, 50 years of age, of East Newton Street was arrested and charged with First Degree Theft of Property with a $5,000 bond.

The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce has been busy celebrating its members' hard work and a prediction of economic growth.
An estimated 400 business and civic leaders gathered Jan. 19 for the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet at the Amarillo Civic Center Grand Plaza.
Texas A&M University System Chancellor Howard D. Graves, a former Amarillo resident, expressed the system's deep commitment to the Texas Panhandle region and said West Texas A&M University has been part of the area's legacy.
The chamber honored one of its own, naming Bobby Lee, co-owner of the Big Texan Steak Ranch, as Volunteer of the Year for 1999.
On Jan. 18, economist Ray Perryman predicted Amarillo would realize a pace of economic growth ahead of similar-sized cities in Texas and the United States, according to Globe-News files. The growth will be spurred by the quickening momentum of economic change.

I have $3D$ point set lying on a vertical plane. This plane is not parallel to either $X$ or $Y$ axis but makes an angle (say, $\theta$) to $X$ axis. And also it has some ($+$ or $-$) intercept to the $X$ axis.
Now, I want to update my $X$ axis parallel to the azimuthal direction of my plane. And then I want to lie down the vertical plane to $XY$ plane. So, I think I could use my original $Z$ coordinates as the new $Y$ coordinates. As the plane lie on $XY$ plane, there should not be $Z$ coordinates any more. So, I want to know how to get my new $X$ coordinates from the original $XYZ$ and $\theta$.
Actually, I want to implement this modification in $c++$. But I am really poor in mathematics and struggling to figure out what should be the formula.
After doing this, I want to do some process with the new $XY$ point coordinates. And at the end, I want to bring back all my coordinates to original system. That is finally I want to go back to my original $XYZ$ axes. So I am also looking your assistant to get this case too.
Your assistant is highly appreciated.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2005
Running Time: 120
Director: Laurent Sky
Companies: Sky World Productions, Club Jenna
Distribution Companies: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Teagan Presley, Jennifer Luv, Randy Spears, Marco Duato, Talon (I), Nick Manning, Felix Vicious, Charlie Laine, George Uhl, Ramona (I), Lexington Steele, Dillan Lauren
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: All-Sex
Potential crossover to consumers looking for something fresh and edgy from porn.
Laurent Sky raises the bar on porn creativity with his first independent release. Anyone familiar with his Ninn Worx Fetish series knows what this is like, but it goes way beyond that technically and emotionally.
Five sex scenes are mixed with music videos, riveting graphics and humorous blackouts, a couple featuring an especially droll Randy Spears. The videography and editing are dazzling, and the CGI effects are integrated seamlessly.
Sky's approach is to objectify his performers visually, then turn them loose in extended spasms of all too human sex. All of it is stunningly shot but four scenes are truly award-worthy.
Dillan Lauren does searing anal with Marco Duato. Sapphire-eyed Boo D. Licious and Talon don't do anal but have plenty passion; she literally cleans his clock. Gypsy-like Ramona is d.p.'d by two Eurostuds. And in a hot but highly stylized girl-girl bout Felix Vicious and Charlie Laine sport Dynel wigs right out of an old movie by Sky's mentor Michael Ninn.
Sky's snippets of political commentary may strike some as naïve, but his head's in the right place. And his special brand of razzle-dazzle could open up new market segments for adult.
Pre-noms: All-Sex Release, Director, Non-Feature; Best Videography; Editing; Music; Art Direction; Special Effects; DVD Menus; Anal Scene (Lauren, Duato); Couples Scene (Boo, Talon); Girl-Girl Scene (Vicious, Laine); Threeway Scene (Ramona, Uhl, Lewis).

Have Jeep Questions? Ask a Jeep Repair Expert for Answers
My interior lights will not go off when I shut the vehicle off and lock the doors! I also noticed that my Panic/ alarm system is not working! I'm thinking this may have something to do with it! In the mean time I have had to take the Courtesy Lamp Relay and Circuit breaker out to get the lights to go off!! Please help!
Yes, the power windows do work! 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited!
Let me know about the door wiring and I will reply back with the next possible item to check or the most likely cause.
I believe that the most likely cause will be related to one of the door ajar switches. If the switch is causing the issue than the interior light would stay on and the alarm will not arm either.
There are 5 switches total. One on each of the side doors and one on the rear liftgate.
I recommend removing each door switch one at a time and ground the wire going to it and see if the interior lamp eventually goes off. If you locate a switch that eventually turns the light of then you can try to adjust the switch or replace it.
Check the 4 switches and let me know what you find. Don't check the rear hatch at this time.
I believe that I read the switch operation incorrectly. I need for you to disconnect each one and pay attention to the light to see if any change. If still no change and the switches check okay then your next step is to use a scanner. A simple code reader will not work, they only access the engine controller. You will need either a high dollar scanner or the factory DRBIII scanner. Then you will ned to access the theft system in the Body control module. Also make sure to check the other modules to make sure there are no other related codes related to the situation. Otherwise there isnt anythign else you can check at this point with out the scanner.
If this answers your question then please press ACCEPT so that I may be paid for the time spent helping you. If you need more help then please let me know. Thanks

There are many more animals for adoption
Published: Friday, July 20, 2007 at 12:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 20, 2007 at 12:13 p.m.
Id like to thank Daily Comet Staff Writer Ben Lundin for acknowledging the issue of abandoned animals in his article "Abandoned dog finds new life, home after adoption."
Amy Boudreaux rescued Jacque, a cocker spaniel, after the dog was thrown from a vehicle onto a highway in the rain. Soon after hearing about this story, Maria Fleming adopted Jacque. All animal lovers, including myself, delight in such happy endings.
According to the aforementioned article, calls "flooded" the Lafourche Parish animal shelter concerning Jacque. Those interested in adopting the dog were apparently not interested in adopting any other animal available at the shelter. If only they knew how many dogs and cats have experienced the same cruelty as Jacque has.
Animals require not only food, water and shelter, but also affection, training, exercise and patience. Anyone who wants to adopt a pet should consider the responsibilites as well as rewards that come with such a decision before taking an animal into his or her life.
Boudreaux suggests that people who do not want their animals should find them a better home. That is certainly a better decision than abandoning an animal, but no animal should be unwanted in the first place. The solution to the problem is spaying and neutering. It prevents unwanted litters and therefore helps to eliminate overpopulation and abandonment.

When working on the art I was given xcom ref images pretty often
If there are any Sniper Rifles I got dibs first.
I can see some XM8 influence in those two assault rifles on the far left of the left gun rack. Was this intentional, or did the XM8 just creep in somehow? Always thought the XM8 had a cool look...
Sure you're not thinking of the OICW?
Oh yeah!! I see it now- an assault rifle and grenade launcher combo. I presume they have airburst grenades? What are the guns in the foreground for- hunting dinosaurs? I can just imagine walking into the Time Safari building and being lead here to pick out a firearm for taking down a spinosaurus...

Skip to comments.Al Gore Pleaded With Masseuse to Release His Second Chakra (...EWWWWWWwwwwwww...!)
Posted on 06/29/2010 11:05:32 AM PDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
After a long days work, the junk scientist needed some hot second chakra action.
Byron York at The Washington Examiner reported, via Ace:
The police report of the masseuses complaint is 73 pages long and extremely detailed. According to the document, she got a call from the front desk of the trendy Hotel Lucia on the night of Oct. 24, 2006. The hotel had a special guest. Could she come at 10:30 p.m.?
She went to Gores room carrying a folding massage table and other equipment. Gore, whom she had never met, greeted her with a warm embrace. The hug went on a bit long, and I was taken just a bit aback by it, the masseuse told police. But she went along because Gore was a VIP and a powerful individual and the Hotel Lucia had made it clear to me by inference that they were giving him the royal treatment.
Gore said he was tired from travel and described in detail the massage he wanted. It included work on the adductor muscles, which are on the inside of the thighs. I mentally noted that a request for adductor work is a bit unusual, the masseuse told police, because it can be a precursor to inappropriate behavior by a male client.
Gore also requested work on his abdomen. When that began, He became somewhat vocal with muffled moans, etc., the masseuse recounted. Gore then demand[ed] that I go lower. When she remained focused on a safe, nonsexual area, Gore grew angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud.
The masseuse asked Gore what he wanted. He grabbed my right hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic hair area, my fingers brushing against his penis, she recalled, and said to me, There! in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone. When she pulled back, Gore angrily raged and bellowed at her.
Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was as though he had very suddenly switched personalities, she recalled, and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there.
Lets be honest
Weve all yearned for a little second Chakra release action at one time or another?
Algore knows as much about chakras as he does about the temp of the core of the earth. The 2nd chakra is just below the navel not in the groin area. Or maybe he just wanted her to burp him. lol
AGW... snicker...
The Dems have discovered the People are stupid.
Consider the bizarre slugs they have offered up as candidates.
Dukakis: This is how it began.
Clinton: History will be kind to him. He was politically gifted and a lovable old scaliwag. We despised him, but only because we had no idea what kind of Freak Show was awaiting us.
Gore. There is little to say. The mere mention of his name cries, "Io Saturnalia!"
Then Kerry.
They got more and more bizarre and ridiculous. In the case of Kerry, they imagined, "The Suckers will be glad to vote for another JFK from Massachusetts!', but he was so absurd, the suckers gagged on the idea.
So, to cap the farce, they played the Race Card: "They wouldn't DARE not vote for this offering!"
What this has accomplished has been to devalue the "Racist" epithet to being meaningless. Now, everyone is a racist, but none so rabid as those two bizarre freaks in the White House.
I am very naive. What is a chakra anyway and why does it need to be released?
You really couldn't make this up.
Here, Al. Meet Chakra Sulu.
Wondering how this one will play out? At what point do they DNA the pants...and is permission needed from Gore?
Does that mean it comes with "a finish?"
I'm surprised al didn't meet her at the door with his family jewels engulfed in a bowl of walnuts.
He coulda said "Hi - I'm Al - and I'm f'in nuts".
"Finally she got away. Later, she talked to friends, liberals like herself, who advised against telling police. One asked her "to just suck it up; otherwise, the world's going to be destroyed from global warming."
Somewhere out there a poor guy is missing his burrito. LOL
I am gonna get in trouble for sitting her laughing out loud. Too funny!
that was Chaka, but I like the play on words... (rock me chakra?)
Ugh! I'm going to have to stay away from stories about this. I get a visual that makes me want to puke.
THAT is brilliant!
Indeed. We are in complete agreement.
I wonder how many chakras Tipper will get in the divorce settlement.
Please release let me go......I, don't love you anymore!!!!
I've long held that view and I've yet to see anything that would cast any doubt upon it.
If you read the transcript, the woman says that in the massage field, telling someone to "release their second chakra" is a code for a hand job. (sorry to be crude)
She wanted no part of it.

He does seem a bit anal retentive. ;)
This makes me think of Jack F. Kemp constantly praising Al Bore in their 1996 "debate" which Kemp essentially forfeited.
No, the chart is a bit off there.
The 2nd is the genitalia.
He's a homosexual, so it won't be too much like this.
He wanted his 2 "globals" a little "warmed" did he?
And to think this POS was just a "hanging chad" away from the presidency.
