That Gunn/Truscinski track is pretty cool. Covers a lot of interesting territory, way more "pleasant" than I was expecting for some reason, but it really hit the spot today. Thanks for posting.

Wow, really enjoying this Chris Forsyth record "Paranoid Cat":
Lots of interesting folks on it, e.g., Hans Chew, Marc Orleans, Nate Wooley, a guy from Mountains. Really hitting a lot of sweet spots for me, just a great well-rounded guitar record. Cool solos, melodic playing, some weirdo moves here and there. I tried listening to Peeessseye or whatever the spelled version of that band is, and didn't really dig it, can anyone suggest other stuff by this guy, or a good PSI record? Also, go listen to "Paranoid Cat". Family Vinyard write-up mentioned some Richard Lloyd-isms, but seems much more like a Verlaine guy to me.

Eternal Tapestry's World Out Of Time comes out tomorrow on Thrill Jockey. Anyone heard 'em? Portland based members of Jackie-O Motherfucker and Plankton Wat explore their love of Neu! and Sonny Sharrock. They're prolific, having released Dawn in 2 Dimensions earlier this year, Beyond the 4th Door last year, and collaborated with Sun Araw on Night Gallery last year, and have three other albums.

I saw Eternal Tapestry a little over a year ago in Portland and they were tremendous. I have a Plankton Wat record or two, an Edibles record and the Sun Araw collab, but need to catch up on ET itself.

Man, fuck either a USPS or Thrill Jockey at this point. Still haven't gotten my package from them. The dude who has been emailing me from their order department has been super responsive, which I appreciate, but they are basically just shrugging their shoulders. Just annoying because I paid extra for the "insured" media mail, but so far it seems like that isn't covering anything.
Mostly I'm just pissed that I now have to repurchase both the Eternal Tapestry and Golden Void records, but even more that I now have to miss out on the limited edition CD-R that was supposed to come up with my order.
I'm swearing off mail order records after this fiasco and, tbrr, completely considering giving up on record collecting at all. I mean, shops are shutting down right and left so mail order direct from the labels is probably soon to be the only option. And if that isn't even dependale, than why the fuck collect?

...productively using sounds which previously would have been left to lie dormant on the cutting room floor. He began working with a palette comprised of in-the-red, bit-crushed digitalia, setting to work kneading these stubborn blocks of harsh sound into a sequence of five pieces which, despite their considerable barbs, retain the fluidity and pathos of the ambient tradition from which they were inspired...Indeed, Superstorms is at once organic and robotic, forceful and calm, coherent and unpredictable. In short, it is a meshing of oppositions- binaries smashed together and expertly sculpted into truly powerful sonic miasma.

According to the Punch, some states actually stopped paying these allowances more than a year ago. Kwara State, for instance, stopped paying corps members over two years ago.
Before now, the states paid corps members posted to their domains a stipend to augment the N19,800 allowance paid by the Federal Government. "We have not been paid a dime since November last year. What we were told at the beginning was that the government would pay us after the end of our service year, but we later learn t that the promise was just fake," said Mayowa, a corps member. Corps members in Bauchi State have resorted to organizing extra-mural classes for primary and secondary school pupils to augment their allowance as the state government have stopped paying them. "No explanation has been given as to why we have not been paid our allowances. We have not been paid for January. We don't know what is happening; all the state government just told us is that we should bear with it."

CARBONDALE — A Carbondale Police Department employee faces a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol after an Illinois State Police trooper arrested him earlier this month.
Carbondale Police dispatcher Richard L. Minton, 23, was stopped sometime after 1 a.m. Sept. 18 near the intersection of West Walnut and Poplar streets in Carbondale for alleged improper lane usage and expired registration, according to documents filed at the Jackson County Courthouse.
Minton was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and improper lane usage. He was released the same day after posting his driver's license and $100 cash, according to an official at the jail. According to documents, he refused alcohol tests. His is scheduled to make his first court appearance Oct. 18.
Carbondale City Manager Kevin Baity said Thursday that Minton remains an active employee with the city. Minton declined to comment on the arrest Friday morning, referring questions to his attorney, Terry Green. Green was not available for comment Friday.
Minton made news this year after Molly Young, 21, was found dead in his Carbondale apartment in March from a gunshot wound to her head. The Illinois State Police continue to investigate that incident, and authorities have made no public statements on the nature of Young's death. No charges have been filed.

Some people get hooked on Belgian chocolate. Some people get hooked on anime nudes or morning swims. Some people get hooked on meth, or collecting 78 RPM jazz recordings, or pulling hair from their neighbour's shower drains.
Vanessa Alford didn't get hooked on any of these. What Alford got hooked on should have been good for her. It's something that most of us ought to do more of. It was exercise.
Alford is 35 years old and lives in Melbourne with her husband and two young daughters. She has long, dark brown hair and olive skin, and is small and slightly built. Yet she is strong in the manner of a marathon runner, which is exactly what she is, or was. "I still run," she says. "But I don't push myself like I used to."
As a young girl growing up in Melbourne, Alford loved her sport: she began gymnastics at age six, netball at seven, tennis at 10. As she writes in her upcoming book, Fit Not Healthy, she was "born to compete": both her gymnastics and netball teams won the state championships in her age group. Yet running, per se, was never her thing: she ran to train and to keep fit, but it was an obligation, not a pleasure. At Melbourne University, where she studied physiotherapy, partying took precedence. "I would use any excuse not to run."
After graduating, however, Alford moved to Townsville, where, much to her surprise, she began to run regularly: she would set the alarm for 6am, jog eight kilometres along the beach and be home by 7am, which gave her time to eat breakfast before cycling 15 kilometres to work. Soon, her eight-kilometre runs became 10-kilometre runs, and 12 kilometres on weekends.
Before she knew it, both the runs and the ride became mandatory morning rituals, "just like a shot of coffee or booze", that left her euphoric, floating for the rest of the day on a magic carpet of dopamine and adrenaline. "This feeling of elation would sweep over me," she says. "I just couldn't get enough of it."
Within months, she had dropped six kilograms and a dress size. "I liked that, too," she told me. "Everyone likes feeling good about themselves, and I got a lot of compliments."
Alford started running marathons, first in Townsville, then Bangkok (where she came second), and on the Gold Coast. Nike and PowerBar sponsored her. In October 2005, she came third in the Melbourne marathon in what she describes as "by far the best moment of my life".
By now, Alford was running for Team Nike as part of an elite group, which received free clothing and support and mentoring from long-distance runner Steve Moneghetti. Her then boyfriend (and current husband), Brent, was a tennis coach and frequently worked overseas, leaving Alford free to focus almost exclusively on her runs, which became longer and more gruelling, and were soon accompanied by a tyrannical dietary regime in which she counted every kilojoule, monitoring like a jail warden every morsel that entered her mouth.
By 2006, she was running up to 160 kilometres a week while surviving on a diet from which she had banished all fats and carbohydrates; lunch and "snacks" for a typical day consisted of a banana, an apple, a plum, a handful of strawberries and small bunch of grapes. Soon her body, just 43 kilograms, began consuming itself, shutting down non-essential systems. She was exercising herself to death, running her tiny sparrow's frame off a physiological cliff. People warned her, they told her to stop: "You have lost your mind," Brent yelled at her one day. "Running has taken over your life." But she couldn't stop.
Then finally, one day in August 2006, her body stopped for her.
For those of us who can barely get off the couch to find the remote, exercise addiction can be hard to fathom. The idea of compulsively and pathologically exercising - doing something that is good for you beyond the point at which it is no longer good for you - seems counter-intuitive, not to mention faintly ridiculous, right up there with other addictions du jour such as those to sex, shopping and the internet.
There is no formal diagnosis for the condition, and it is not recognised in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a text used by psychiatrists and mental health workers. Yet it has been observed since at least 1976, when US psychiatrist William Glasser first coined the terms "exercise addiction" and "runner's high".
Glasser had been studying long-distance runners, whom he noticed experienced withdrawal symptoms when they were unable to run. Researchers using diagnostic tools such as the Exercise Addiction Inventory have since suggested "exercise dependence" exists in up to 3 per cent of the general population, 8.5 per cent of adolescent boys and 52 per cent of triathletes. (A study of 300 gym clients in France concluded that 42 per cent of them were addicted.)
Glasser defined exercise as a "positive addiction", noting that running was particularly habit-forming "because it is our most ancient and still most effective survival mechanism". What he didn't anticipate was how this survival mechanism could become so self-destructive when coupled with an eating pathology. It's thought that up to 48 per cent of people with anorexia also suffer from exercise addiction. For these people, exercise is another form of weight control. ("Every time I put food in my mouth, I literally felt it travel through my body and place itself on my hips," writes Alford, whose default reaction was to work it off during a 35-kilometre run.)
There's a satisfying logic to this pattern, which is sometimes called anorexia athletica. But it may also have a biological imperative, as the famous Routtenberg experiment suggests. In 1967, two neuroscientists, Aryeh Routtenberg and Abby Kuznesof, put rats in a feeding cage with a spinning wheel, and then progressively starved them. They expected that as the rats' caloric intake dwindled, they would exercise less. But quite the opposite occurred: the less they ate, the more they exercised. Indeed, most of the rats died within a week, some of them dropping dead on the spinning wheel.
"From an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense," says Sydney psychologist Stephen Touyz. "If there was a famine and all you did was lay on the same spot, you would die." Touyz has observed this in his own practice, which specialises in eating disorders. "Patients who lose lots of weight become fidgety, and anorexics become incredibly restless."
This compulsion to exercise can be virtually irresistible. "With me, it got to the point where I could not not exercise," says 30-year-old Emma from Sydney. Emma developed anorexia at school and managed it, off and on, throughout university, where, ironically, she studied to be a dietician. After graduating, she began working in hospitals where many of the meals were taken together in staff kitchens. "I'd eat them because I was trying to hide my condition," she says.
But to compensate for that eating, she would run. And run and run and run. She ran before work, after work, and during her lunch break. (She also cycled.) Her activity peaked in 2011, while she was living in central NSW, when for three weeks straight she ran every night - for eight hours. "I'd eat dinner and leave the house at about 9pm," she says. "It was in winter and I would run along the highway and all around town."
Soon her body, quite literally, fell apart. First she broke her hip while running. Then, eight weeks later, she suffered a stress fracture in her heel and was forced off work for a week. After both injuries, she kept on cycling - in the case of the hip, she was on her bike the very next day. "It hurt a lot," she says. "But the anxiety from not doing the exercise was worse."
In the end she weighed 38 kilograms, and had developed osteoporosis. Only then did she seek help.
"These days I actually have some body fat," she says. (She can't tell me her weight, because she is too frightened to weigh herself.) As for exercise, that's a no-go. "I only walk now," Emma says. "And I mean, really I'm just dawdling."
Some doctors remain sceptical about exercise addiction. "With alcohol and drugs, yes, they are addictions," says Alex Wodak, the director of the Alcohol and Drug Service at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital. "But I am appalled by the pathologising of everyday behaviours, which is where I think shopping and exercise fit in."
Yet, neurologically-speaking, strenuous exercise operates in much the same way as substance abuse. When you thrash out a hard hour of squash, for instance, you activate the sympathetic nervous system, which causes a rise in the concentration of noradrenaline and serotonin.
At the same time, the pituitary gland secretes beta-endorphins, which block pain signals reaching the brain. The result is a pronounced euphoria. (Endorphins are often referred to as endogenous opioids, so similar are their effects to those of opiates such as heroin.) Over time, though, the body's tolerance to these endorphins increases, necessitating an increase in exercise.
"You end up chasing the high," says Sydney man Ben Carter. "It's exactly the same as drinking: if you drink three beers a day for three months, you build up resistance, so then you have to drink four beers a day, and then five. It's the same with exercise."
Carter, who is 26, has long suffered from depression, and has been diagnosed with both Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
"At first, I dealt with it by drinking," he says. "From 18 to 22, I was an alcoholic. When I was at university, I would drink a bottle of spirits every day, or a box of wine." Then, four years ago, at the suggestion of his therapist, he began exercising, and this too quickly spiralled out of control.
"It turned into a seven days a week, five-hours a day compulsion," he says. "It was terrible. I was getting up at 4am, so that I could run before work. In the end I was running 100 kilometres a week, and working out in the gym for hours every day."
Carter had managed to get off the booze, but the exercise was worse. "Alcohol was easy," he says. "But exercise is really hard work. I dreaded it: it made me cry to think of it and I would be in pain while I was doing it. No one at that stage actually enjoys it: you loathe it, but you exercise through the pain, injury, sickness, it doesn't matter."
The compulsion to exercise is also reinforced by guilt: "If you don't do it, you feel like you are being lazy, like you are wasteful," says Carter. This means that exercise addicts feel worse about themselves if they try to cut down, which is like an alcoholic feeling guilty for being sober.
Carter's experience was a function of his addictive nature; given half a chance, he could probably get addicted to vegetable gardening, an activity which, as it turns out, he has recently taken up. But it also reflects the mania that has infected the contemporary fitness culture as a whole. Once upon a time, getting fit was regarded as fun. Now, fitness has become extreme: instead of fun we have SAS-inspired workouts, with sledgehammer drills, rope climbs, kettle bells and instructors who bark at you like drill sergeants.
Fitness is now synonymous with self-abnegation, suffering and pain, with boot camps and the Tough Mudder and Spartan Race events, in which participants scale walls, swim dams and jump fires over a range of different distances. (As the Spartan Race website states: "For the ultimate challenge, try the 42km Ultra-Beast. You'll know at the finish line!")
"It's the culture of excess," says Jeff Bond, who spent 22 years as the head of sport psychology at the Australian Institute of Sport. "There's no balance anymore: at one end of the spectrum we have the obsessive people who run themselves into the ground, and at the other we have those who overeat and don't exercise at all." Bond puts it down to self-esteem. "When I was at the AIS, I found that many of the really top athletes did what they did because, deep down, they didn't feel too good about themselves. Many had been told they were dumb at school. And so extreme achievement was a compensating mechanism. That low self-esteem explains so many things: ambition, excessiveness, anorexia. If you get that core self-esteem right, then people are okay with not being the best, or not being famous, and just being themselves."
Vanessa Alford burnt out in August 2006, collapsing in the middle of a race after losing sensation in her legs. (On the way to hospital, the nurse told her she "was an inspiration", something Alford found bewildering, given that she was lying, near death, in the back of an ambulance.)
Tests revealed she was suffering from severe adrenal dysfunction and that her levels of the stress hormone cortisol were 20 times higher than normal. "My body was under immense stress, 24 hours a day," she says.
For months afterwards she felt dizzy and exhausted; her legs were heavy and often numb, and her reproductive system had shut down. It took six months just to restore her energy levels. Even then, the symptoms didn't disappear entirely until 2011 when she decided to get pregnant. "The doctor told me I'd have to put on weight and stop exercising so much," she says. "I had to change my priorities." Her treatment consisted of sitting on the couch for two months and eating. "This is most people's idea of a dream - but not exercising was so, so hard."
Alford became pregnant in March 2011. Within a couple of months of giving birth, her symptoms had gone. As she points out, it was her daughter who ultimately saved her - ending, so to speak, life on the run.
"Looking back, it's pretty bizarre," she says. "I was so obsessed, so self-absorbed. It's really hard to recognise the person I was back then. But I was locked in, and I couldn't get off. I was addicted."

Do you know a schematic for a machine that makes sparks for igniting gunpowder or other flammable things? Something easy to make, but effective, so I can light up gunpowder at a distance of 20m. Something whit transformers or capacitors...
5 years agoReply
use a cord less drill battery and that will ignite gunpowder , fireworks,etc.
try using an alarm clock or timer for a timed detonater
how, do you have a schematic for the transistor posotions???
i think the best is to make a switch that gets closed mechanically by the clock arrows this is also the safest - you dont want it to blow up in your face cause of defective plastic parts deep in the mechanics of the clock
??? i would just cut the wires heading to the speakers and rig em up to a capacitator or something, or just use em plain, but it has to have battery back up.
I tried that, not enough power, it only gives about 0,5 to 1 V and that is not enough to light up the metal cotton! How can I step up the voltage? I wanted to make, like an electronic switch, so that when the alarm goes of it sends those 0,5 volts to a transistor and that trigers the transistor to let the current from a 9V battery.... Do you understand? :) Do you have a simpler solution?
ya i understand and it seeems like a cool idea, but i gots a question, and its whats the backup on ur alarm clock. alot of times you can get an alarm clock with battery backup with a 9 volt, or you could get a capacitator (somthin that increases voltage) youre idea seems pretty cool though,there are prolly easyer ways. i'd look into it some more, but i dont want to ruin my alarm clock and im runnin low on cash. maybe you can try it and let me know the results.
capacitors dont up the voltage. a transistor might be able to handle the amperage and voltage needed, but i would use a relay
What do capacitors actually do, I read in books and on the Internet that they basically store energy and release it when its needed, what's the difference between a block and polarised capacitor?
lets see..... capacitors store and release energy. the pass ac buty not dc. so they can filter out ac (damping) and cancel out oscillations, or the can amplify ac spikes (resonate). they do not raise the voltage. they can gradually charge and gradually discharge through a resistor (rc timer network) or discharge in one spark (think rail gun) a polarised capacitor is only designed to have power flowing through them in one direction.

Jarvan IV Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This guide is a good way of playing the champion, Jarvan IV. It provides a good off-tankiness but also keeps the damage you deal fairly high. I've done this because it's boring to just go tanky and deal no damage. Yes, you're a valuable asset to the team when very tanky, but if you can be tanky and also deal good damage, you're an even better asset to the team. The tankiness enhances his ulti through making him strong enough to hold in multiple opponents for the duration of the ulti, so all of your teammates on the outside of the ulti can range the opponents inside the terraformed arena.
These runes are tanky, but also give useful attributes towards attacking opponents. The armor and magic resist give tankiness. The armour penetration giving the attacking attributes. With the mixed quintessances it gives good boosts on more than one attribute for battles.
The flat armour runes are good for your solo top because they give you a defensive boost right from the start of the game giving you an upper hand in a early fight. The same goes for the magic resist runes. But because the armour and magic resist runes are fairly high, they will help get through the whole game as well.
The same goes with the masteries than what goes for the runes. Some tankiness and some attacking attributes.
The lifesteal mastery points help you to be able to lane for longer making it even better for if you're playing solo top.
All of the items contribute to tankiness (armour, magic resist and health). The Tiamat provides decent AD but also HP and Mana regen with it. The splash damage in the passive makes it especially good for farming minions. By the end of the build, the HP regen is so high that it will make a huge difference in team battles even if you're being attacked.
I've tried to start off with the fairly cheaper items so you're not taking ages to get them nd you don't fall behind.

The reign of Alexander III and the first decade of the reign of his son, Nicholas II, formed a quarter-century of consistent policies (1881-1904) of the kind Tolstoy attacked so eloquently. Both czars hated the earlier liberal reforms and were determined that there would be no more.
Yet a peasant bank set up under Alexander III made redemption payments easier for the peasants, and a few pieces of labor legislation made working conditions somewhat more tolerable. Countering these measures were the establishment of a special bank that extended credit to the improverished nobility, the reinstitution of rigorous censorship, and the institution in the countryside of so-called rural leaders or land captains in place of the elected justices of the peace.
Election procedure for the zemstvos and for the city assemblies was made far less democratic. There began a vigorous persecution of the minority nationalities and of Jews, a policy called Russification. In 1891 twenty thousand Jews were evicted from Moscow, and most were restricted to the Pale of Settlement, an area roughly identical to Byelorussia and the Ukraine. Official pogroms (organized massacres) were directed against them, especially in Kiev. A quota was applied to Jews, limiting their entry to high schools and universities. One result was massive emigration; over a million Jews, in a population of 5 million, left, many for America. Another result was that the intellectuals joined the various revolutionary movements.
Yet these years were also notable for steady growth. In 1892 Count Sergei Witte (1849-1915) came to the ministry of finance. Witte began the Trans-Siberian Railroad, put Russia on the gold standard, attracted much foreign capital (especially French) for investment, and balanced the budget, in part through a government monopoly of the sale of vodka.
The state-owned railroad network doubled in length between 1894 and 1904, and the need for rails stimulated the steel industry. Correspondingly, the number of urban workers multiplied, and many strikes were called in protest against wretched working conditions. In 1897 the working day was fixed by the state at eleven hours for adults, and other provisions were adopted to improve and regularize conditions. These laws, however, proved difficult to enforce.
Under the circumstances, many of the young generation of revolutionaries now turned to Marxist "scientific" socialism, embracing the class struggle and predicting the inevitable downfall of capitalism. A small clandestine group of the intelligentsia, formed in 1894-1895 at St. Petersburg, proposed to overthrow the regime, working with all opponents of the class system.
The members of the group included Lenin, a vigorous young intellectual of upper-middle-class origins. In 1898 this group and others formed the Social Democratic party, which in 1900 began to publish its own newspaper. Within party ranks, dissension soon arose over the question of organization. Should the party operate under a strongly centralized directorate, or should each local group of Social Democrats be free to agitate for its own ends? Lenin insisted on a small, tightly knit group of directors at the center. At the party congresses of Brussels and London in 1903, the majority voted with him.
Lenin's faction thereafter was called by the name Bolshevik, meaning majority, as against the Menshevik, or minority group, which favored a loose, democratic organization for the party. The Mensheviks held to the ideas of George Plekhanov (1857-1918), who felt that Russia would be ripe for socialism only after capitalism and industrialism had progressed sufficiently to fulfill the needs of a Marxist class structure. Both groups remained Social Democrats, or SDs as they were often called.
Meanwhile, in 1901 the non-Marxist revolutionaries also organized a political party, the Socialist Revolutionaries, or SRs. Whereas the SDs as Marxists were initially interested almost exclusively in the urban workers, the SRs as populists were chiefly interested in the peasantry. Their aim was to redistribute the land, and they continued in their terrorist ways. They assassinated several cabinet ministers between 1902 and 1907, using as their slogan the cry "We don't want reforms. We want reform!"
The moderates and liberals were a third political grouping—intellectuals indignant over government repression who favored nothing more radical than compulsory free private education and agrarian reform. The regime stubbornly made no distinction between them and the terrorists and Marxists. Thus the moderates also were forced to organize. In 1905 they took the name Constitutional Democratic party and were thereafter usually referred to as Kadets, from the Russian initials KD.

We provide private group walking tours for all of our tours. Private tours are an excellent way to enjoy a walking tour, if you are part of a large group. We can accommodate groups of up to 75 people. Our private tours have a maximum of 25 people per group, so a tour of 75 people will be divided into 3 groups of 25. This is due to the small spaces of the establishments we enter. Your tour will be given at the same time, so it will have the same start and end time. You will see the same attractions, and go to the same establishments, but will have a different tour guide.
Private tours are a perfect event for:
"My colleagues and I had a wonderful experience on Sidewalks of NY's West Village tour, and I'm very happy that we had chosen it for our corporate team building event! Josh and the folks there were very friendly and courteous even right from the booking process - accommodating an ever-changing group size. The tour itself was fun and lively with Josh providing a colorful collection of culinary, cultural and even sordid historical details on the West Village area. The food sampled were a great mix of the tried-and-true NY establishments as well as some newcomers. A number of my colleagues, including myself, are local to NYC, and we all agreed that this tour provided us with a fresh look at the city we've all been calling home for years!"

On coming out, and false friends
My wife and I have only very recently started in a polyamorous relationship. We don't have a lot of friends anyway, and the friends we do have are mostly either socially conservative or very religious. So as a result we don't talk to our friends about what we're doing.
We'd hoped that the message board where we met would be a little more understanding. It's a generally left-leaning board politically, and although there aren't many openly poly posters we thought we'd receive a better welcome if we were "out" there. Wow, were we ever wrong. Just as we were thinking of doing so, there were a couple of threads about group marriage and/or polyamory. It's clear that there are a lot of posters who we've known for years and thought were fairly tolerant on other sexual minorities are for some reason extremely anti-poly.
One of the threads discussed a person who'd had a poly relationship some years ago, but later developed a mono relationship with a woman--who went on to cheat him and leave him. People were falling all over themselves to blame the guy because of his earlier poly relationship...a lot of them suggesting that it was his earlier polyamory that let the woman know it was "OK to cheat." There were a lot of nasty things said about polyamory in general, and not a lot of people defending him.
But today a thread went really over the line. It started as a thread about whether it was OK to socialize with someone in a group marriage. You know, because that's such a controversial topic. One usually fairly left-leaning poster started ripping on group marriage, poly, and swinging in general, and came up with this gem:
I guess what I'm asking here is two things. First of all, why are people who are usually tolerant on sexual minorities so anti-poly? You have to realize on this board I'm talking about, if you aren't a supporter of gay marriage, you're all but a pariah, so it's not as if this is some hotbed of social conservatism...and yet the level of anti-polyamory is fairly high. Second, how can you know who to talk to about this? There is one other person on that message board who does know about it...but I wouldn't have spoken to her if I hadn't felt 100% safe that she would keep what I said confidential. Barring that, how can one know that one has a safe haven?
There isn't a way to know that someone is 100% a safe haven really.
We've been lucky personally-but where we live is generally very open-minded and easy going ANYWAY.
We're out to damn near everyone we know. We've all lived in the community our whole lives and we are in contact with people we've known from childhood. But we've had very few people react negatively at all.
The few that were at all negative limited it to "there is NO WAY I could handle that". But they certainly didn't judge us harshly or end their relationships with us over it.
Maca is out to a number of his coworkers.
I don't work, but I'm out to everyone except our homeschool program (which is state run). That isn't so much a matter of not wanting to be "honest" with them, as much as the topic has never arisen.
They KNOW all of us and they know we are all signers for the kids and all of those things. GG participates as a "parent" for the kids there. But they've never asked or inquired as to WHAT the roles are between us adults.
Everyone else-I'm just me. Most of the time the question arises after they see me kiss GG or holding his hand. Once asked I just tell them, we have a polyamorous family and he's my boyfriend, yes Maca and I are still happily married and no we aren't getting divorced, yes of course he knows-we all live together.
Our extended families know. I don't think my stepsiblings on my dad's side know-but we aren't close and don't keep in touch. I don't think that my brothers wife knows-but that's mostly because she doesn't want to, she SEE'S it, just doesn't chose to acknowledge. I don't think Maca's brothers wife knows-but I haven't seen her in YEARS quite literally-even though they live a couple miles down the road.
All of our parents know and GG's siblings know too.
I guess for us-we just don't give a shit what people think, so we don't make an effort to worry about what they will think. This is us, this is our life; take it or leave it.
Even our kids know-ranging from 19 years down to 3 years with the middle ones being 10, 13, 14. They know-they don't care. We've all lived together for most of their lives....
"Love As Thou Wilt"
It is way too easy to look down on those that are different then you. I think that is part of human nature to a degree. But we can learn to overcome these prejudices. I grew up in southern USA and I saw a lot of racism. (I am a white male BTW.) Interracial relationships were very frowned upon. But when I talk to some people from back home, that is not really an issue anymore (because they have moved on to gay marriage). However, it is progress. Both the left and the right keep moving left over time. Many conservative parties of today may be seen as liberal by historical standards.
So for me, the short answer is that it is human nature from not being exposed in a human way to someone of that minority. For example, if we talked about furries (a kink in which people who take on an animal avatar and may dress up during sex) I am sure that on here, there would be some who would poke fun at them or pick on them to a degree. But if a member stood up and said they were a furry, suddenly people would get very polite and may actually listen to a personal story.
You can test the waters some by challenging bad assertions. For example, you can ask where the person got their data that women in open relationships were abused. I have heard a similar statistic to "explain" lesbians.
Another approach is just to some out and say that you are surprised by the hostility toards people who have a different relationship model. You may find out there is a silent majority of supporters. Or you may get a lot of curious questions. But if you did that, you may be the token open marriage people until someone else comes out.
I work around a lot of scientists. When the topic of gay marriage came up, there was one guy who was against it. His statement was, "If you allow gay marriage, then by the same concept, you have to eventually allow group marriage." That took several people by surprise because they saw the logic of it. But then they agreed and said, "I don't have a problem with that."
I see it a lot like gay relationships. They won rights by coming out and showing that they were just regular people. I think poly is in that beginning state of winning society's trust.
Gay marraige isn't much a stretch for most the people I know. It essentially conforms to all the other societal norms and expectations with one exception;gender. People generally don't see a problem with one person loving another...they understand loving some "one". They don't understand loving more than some one. I am out to everyone who matters. With those select people I am willing to work to normalize and explain my relationship. I don't really care about or invest in a lot of people so there are very few worth the effort to me. I am never surprised by disaproval or negativity....I posses part of it as well and therefore understand the primal resistance to multi-partner relationships. Ironic that I am so happy within my own.

Poly Events All Over
Cowley, I don't know what others have said, because I skipped to writing right away, sorry if I repeat as a result.
I think that the person who you quoted should be called out for saying something in terms of generalities. No one should ever make a sweeping statement ever. It is entirely unfair to do so. What the hell does anyone know of a topic in its entirety? no one. I could be poly for a million years and still I don't think I have the right to say that poly is anything but my own experience of it! They should be called on that, because that is THEIR experience and obviously they have no idea what they are talking about in terms of others experiences. It really bothers me that people reading that will also decide the same thing because of what they said. It is disrespectful to make sweeping generalizations of whole communities. It's like saying that everyone who is a polygamist abuses young girls... or all priests abuse young boys. Not true, there have been cases of that, but we cannot assume that that is the norm and always happens, because it doesn't.
My other thought is that mainstream media has told us it's okay to be accepting of same sex stuff... but not poly yet... they are listening to mainstream media and have thought about it and have decided that it must be okay... ten years from now I wonder if they will be singing the same tune about poly and be on the band wagon about bad mouthing something else... we are all such sheep aren't we?

My only advice is this:
Decide how "out" you want to be, then let the chips fall where they may. As Dr. Seuss said: "Those that care don't matter, and those that matter won't care."
Isn't that interesting !
It is interesting (poly opinion) but I guess not surprising.
I see it as a combination of a couple things...........
1> Misperceptions/ignorance
I think the vast majority of the public still associate 'poly' with polygamy and all the negative associations and publicity surrounding that.
2> Envy
Another pretty common trait. No matter how (supposedly) open minded these people try to appear, when it comes down to it - if you are going to have yours then I better be able to have the same. If not I'm going to cry FOUL !
As part of the above mentioned ignorance - what limited knowledge many people have of poly they relate to multiple sex partners. Double foul if they can't have theirs !
It may be awhile, but I think the cat is out of the bag. I've had numerous chance encounters especially with younger (20s) folk and people a bit more 'educated/worldly' indicating that the topic is on the table for true discussion.
But the ostriches will survive for awhile yet.
One of the things I'm realizing about poly is that it is more common than I first believed.
People who are happily in a poly relationship don't do it for public recognition/acceptance. They do it for themselves and their partners.
This leaves the "regular" folk to only hear of it when a poly relationship is struggling and it gives the impression than nothing good ever comes of it. So if you take your problem to most relationship advice forums you get a bunch of "you were playing with fire" and "what did you expect?"
It hit me how a mono relationship can have a struggle and people will lend an ear and sympathize because "all relationships have problems sometimes. you just have to work at it because good relationships take work."
But a poly one of any kind isn't included in that "all relationships have problems" view.
(and yes, I stole that quip..)

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from having lived in the village of Douthwait, which was located on the border of North Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Douthwrait Early Origins
Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Douthwrait Spelling Variations
Douthwrait Spelling Variations
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Douthwrait include Douthwaite, Douthert, Douthet, Douthat, Douthit, Douthirt, Douthwrait, Dowthwaite, Dowthert, Dowthet, Dowthirt and many more.

The Great Migration
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Douthwrait were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:

Service Updates (December 12, 2014)
Posted by Pieter van Hiel on 12 December 2014 01:12 PM
New Features and Improvements
ClubRunner 3.0 Photo Albums - Added Ability to Edit Date Added field
Among various enhancements made to the usability of the Photo Albums feature, you can now edit the Date Field when you create a new album. You can also retroactively edit an existing album. This makes it easier to sort or locate photos from significant occasions, such as holidays and anniversaries or historic club events. Previously, the date was automatically set to the date of upload.
ClubRunner 3.0 Photo Albums – Improved Graphical User Interface
The Photo Albums have also gotten easier to use, thanks to an improved graphical user interface. You will find navigating the photo albums more intuitive and access their functionality with greater ease.
ClubRunner 3.0 Club Info Widget - Motto and Greeting Fields No Longer Mandatory
Previously, the site administrator was required to fill in a club motto and greeting when editing the fields in the Edit Club Info and Settings link. Many clubs do not have a set greeting and/or motto, but the fields could not be left blank. Site administrators can now leave either field (or both fields) empty as needed.
Event Planner 2.0 - Registration and Confirmation ID Added to Reports
Tracking registrants for events generated with Event Planner 2.0 is now much easier, with the addition of two new information columns. All event reports now include unique Registration and Confirmation ID numbers for every person registered for a given event.

Can I be happy? Can I be successful? Or how about prosperous, secure, peaceful, or even just content in my life? We all want the best for our lives. We hope to be the best we can be. But in life there can be much resistance to the emotional bliss and great successes we once thought we would possess. That is exactly why I wrote this blog, so keep reading 😉
I always remember growing up and as I watched an action movie I would imagine myself as the hero rescuing the girl, and having a happy ending with world disaster stopped because of my super human abilities. As the credits would roll, I would also roll out of the cinema with a bounce in my step thinking how life was great and I was indestructible. However as life moved along I discovered that it doesn't always go like the movies say it will. There can be people who may hate you for no reason, there will be loss, loved ones passing away, people who will try and tell you that you are a failure, and lots of other negative oppositions to a life of bliss.
The double edged sword and the worst of these oppositions, is what you tell yourself. What you believe for your life, what you take on board about yourself. Here are some voices that can speak either good or bad into your life…
What people say…
First of all there will be people who will dislike you. The people who dislike you will sometimes tell you things to try and hurt you. If they have an insecurity, or jealousy, or just a dislike toward you, they may call you names, insult you, gossip, or maybe even worse. There can be many reasons why people don't like you, but the fact is, their opinion is their opinion, so don't make it your opinion of you.
What parents say…
What our parents or guardians say to us holds alot of weight. I remember a guy whom his parents told him that he was no good, and they told him all the time. He was lazy at school, but their approach only made things worse. He took on the belief that he was no good and still to this day he believes that about himself. We must be so careful what we say to our children because they respect your opinion, they trust their parents and so they believe what they hear. But parents can be wrong, this guy was so creative and artistic, but he never believed he was, because his father never said it. You may be bad at somethings, but you will be good at other things, and if your parents never highlighted your gifts, then discover them for yourself. A good parent encourages strengths and works with weaknesses in a loving way and a balanced way.
What my boss says…
When we engage a career we will look up to the people more experienced in that field. It is normally our boss or a senior manager. So when they tell us that we are hopeless at that skill, it can cut like a knife. Our hopes of being good at that profession can be destroyed in one swoop. This is because we recognize their position and experience. Take their advice, but be careful,never take an insult on board. Even bosses will have a bad day sometimes. Get more training, but don't give up on your passion, you are still learning.
What I say to me…
To be the best you can be and live a life that is fulfilling is not decided by anybody else but YOU. You hold the power to decide what you become in life.
Be careful…
– what you tell yourself internally
– what you believe about yourself
– what you speak over yourself
– what you allow spoken over you by others
It is YOU who decides what YOU become. If you are like me, that seems like an awful big responsibility. How will I know what to do, what to believe, and how will I know what is best for me all the time? That is where God comes in. But remember even God gave you a free will to make choices, but if you choose to put God first, He will guide you to the right choices. Its hard to fit it all down, but take it from me, you can have a great life, but you need God to have it.
In conclusion:
Work on your weaknesses but focus on your strenghts.
Believe what God says about you and let that be ALL you believe and think on.
You will be the best you that you can be, but you have to believe it.
We are all super heroes in our own right 😉

U.S. Youth Championships - Climactic finish on Lake St. Clair
by Jake Fish on 15 Aug 2014
U.S. Youth Championships 2014 Jake Fish
A climactic finish unfolded on Lake St. Clair on Thursday at the 2014 U.S. Youth Championships. It came down to the wire, including the final race of the regatta for several fleets. The crowded leaderboards and windy conditions provided an exciting finish to this pinnacle US Sailing Youth National Championship, hosted by Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.
Scott Sinks (San Diego, Calif.) and Rebecca McElvain (San Diego, Calif.) saved their best effort for the final day. The San Diego tandem proved to be the most consistent team of the week to win the Club 420 fleet after four more races Thursday. Placing second was Martina Sly (Weston, Fla.) and Ian Morgan (Shady Side, Md.). Sinks and McElvain also won the 2014 Club 420 National Championships.

Posted via NHS Choices
Recently having had spinal surgery, I can't praise the wonderful care and attention I received during my 2 weeks stay!.It was like a 5 star hotel.The food was excellent, nursing staff couldn't do enough to please you! The cleaner going to buy me a daily newspaper.The two girls running the hairdressers, came to ward to collect me in a wheelchair and take me to salon,wonderful treatment was provided by one and all! I have been in five star hotels, none would equal the lovely food I received. Long may the N.H.S. exist! We do not know how lucky we are in this country to have a wonderful health service!!

In the mood for a sun-soaked holiday full of adventure? Book flights to Rio de Janeiro and enjoy the pulsating nightlife or the sensational rainforest flora and fauna.

On the top of the mountain Corcovado you will experience thrilling views of the city.
Nature is never far away in Brazil. Rio is on a bay, always close to the sea: The famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are particularly popular, especially with surfers and divers. There are green rainforests just outside the city, full of unique animals and plants. And there is nature to be discovered in the middle of the city too – the botanical garden is full of rare flowers and plants spreading lovely scents. Rio de Janeiro is the ideal destination for a city trip or the perfect starting point for a longer holiday in Brazil. Book a flight to Rio de Janeiro now!
Say Rio, think carnaval. Millions of joyful people crowd the streets of Rio during these 4 days. You can learn more about this spectacular festival in the Sambadrome museum. For instance, how these remarkable floats are constructed. And of course, there's also plenty to do during the rest of the year: The national dance is the samba. Go out for an evening and you'll soon get the hang of it.
