The Other Half of the Coconut: Women writing Self Respect History An Anthology of Self Respect Literature (1928-1936) Edited and translated by K. Srilata, Kali for Women, Rs 300
This slim anthology is an articulation of Self Respect, a powerful and compelling idea that emerged during the radical phase of the Non-Brahmin movement in Tamil Nadu, under the initiative of E.V.S Ramaswamy Naiker, better known as Periyar. Built into the radical ideology of the Non-Brahmin movement, the ideal of swayamariyadai or Self Respect was developed by Periyar as an essential precondition for the empowerment of the non-Brahmin constituency that he represented. The ideal involved a total rejection of the hegemony of Brahmins in the domain of rituals and the larger caste order within which his position and privilege were located. The idea also captured Periyars larger vision of an egalitarian society that operated on a radical redefining of gender relations.
On the ground however, the politics of Self Respect did not quite match the expectations of the self-respecters or their devotees. It has been argued for instance that the Self Respect movement reinforced the mother image of Tamil women whose large-scale participation in the anti-Hindi agitations did not recast them as autonomous agents. This position had its share of detractors who maintained that the Self Respect movement catapulted women into active, responsible roles and that the womens question found practical expression in the performance of Self-Respect marriages, the organizing of wom- ens conferences to raise consciousness and the involvement of women in mass movements.
How does this anthology locate itself in the debate' Not very clearly or unequivocally. But this becomes a point of advantage for, by its very selection of texts and womens writings, the editor retrieves the more interesting elements in the experiences of women self-respecters. The selection of texts brings out the complexity of the experience the extent to which the SelfRespect polemic informed wo- mens writing and more important, the differences that riddled the movement making any simple, polarized characterization ultimately sterile.
The first section of the anthology is a compilation of didactic writings that mouth the usual rhetoric of caste indignities, the deadening effect of rituals on the lives of women and of the occasional exhortation to male self-respecters to include women more actively in their ranks. The second section presents extracts from a novel by Moovalur A.Ramamrithammal. This novel is not just a classic of Self-Respect literature, it offers a fascinating insight into the mental world of the devadasi and her patrons. Ramamrithammal was a die-hard self-respecter, a fierce and unremitting critic of the practice and urged its abolition in no uncertain terms. Yet her novel is not a reductive and moralizing exercise it offers the historian a sensitive insight into a community as it coped with changing times. The novel brings this dimension to the surface.
The anthology is a welcome source for the historian working on the social aspects of reform and Self Respect. The introduction is useful and sets out more or less the broad parameters of current historiography on the subject. What it tends to play down are the tensions and differences that shot through the broad sweep of the Tamil movement in all its dimensions. Many of the self-respecters and staunch advocates of Dravidianism were, unlike Periyar, devoted to the Tamil language, and many, like Ramamrithammal, did not hesitate to invoke the mythical epochs of Sanskritic Hinduism or its heroines in their rallying cry against Hindi and Brahmanical culture.

Advice on New Bike - Giant, GaryFisher, Trek or...?
I am new to this forum. I have had a Giant Rincon for 7 years. The frame broke on Wednesday and I need a new bike.
Mostly, I use the bike for short trips around the city. I bike for approximately 1 hour per day. I have a heavy duty rack, with double side baskets and haul groceries a couple of times a week. On occasion (once every couple of months), I take longer trips where I bike for several hours a day.
I do not ride off road. However, I live in Los Angeles, and the pavement, especially along the sides of the road where I ride, is often in terrible condition. I get a lot of flats.
I went to 2 bike shops. The first (I Martin Imports) suggested a Giant FCR 2L. I liked the way this bike felt and rode. This bike has thin tires which I'm told will give me more pedaling power. I was told that I don't need the thick tires since I'm not going off road.
The second dealer I visited (Beverly Hills Bike Shop) strongly counseled against the Giant FCR 2L. Instead, he suggested a Gary Fisher Advance. This bike did not feel quite as comfortable, but maybe I'm just not used to the different stance - one needs to lean one's body weight a little farther forward than what I'm used to.
The second dealer said that:
1. Giant bikes are poorly constructed with poor components and do not last long.
2. The reason I have been getting so many flats is because Giant wheels are poorly made.
3. In Los Angeles I need thick tires, like the ones on the Gary Fisher he was showing me, because the roads are in poor condition. With thin tires, I'll continue to get a lot of flats.
4. Even if I don't get the Gary Fisher, I should at least get a Trek, since they're much better made than Giants.
Anyone have any feedback or suggestions? Any truth to what the BH Bike Shop dealer said?
I have been very happy with Giant (I've had 3). I prefer road a road bike myself but my wife has a FCR2 and loves it.
1) Giant has made many of the frames other brands of bikes. The components are Shimano (the more you spend the better you get.
2) Lower pressure tires and glass cause the flats. Not the wheels.
3)Good tires under proper pressure prevent flats even on bad roads. I've had fewer since I started riding on a thinner tire.
4)IMO $ for $ you get a higher end component group with giant.
Doesn't the Giant have a lifetime warranty? You could get a replacement frame for free. Maybe for the cost of switching the components over, $50'ish bucks. I did with my Lemond.
Flats aren't due to the poorly built wheels. More than likely poor tires but most riders replace them even before leaving the showrrom floor. Stock tires are known to be cheap and easily flat. If the guy said the thiner tires will flat more, he doesn't know squat. Some thin slicks ar fast and tough with high pressure and thick rubber. Doesn't depend on tire width. There are thin road tires that are far more puncture resistant than some big fat mtb tires. Depends on tire quality. $10 tire is gonna be cheap and nothing but problems.
The second dealer must sell Trek. Gary Fisher is also a Trek bike. Plenty of riders have had problems with Trek bikes, including me with my Lemond (made by Trek). And Giant has won bike of the year several years in a row. I have friends that ride Trek and they are great bikes. I myself prefer Trek because of the fit, not cause Ginat sucks, cause they don't! I've never been on a Giant but I know several riding partners that do and they are great bikes as well as Trek.
Find a bike that fits well. That's the best bet. They are alll good bikes!
I'm betting that if the second shop switches it's inverntory to Giant bikes, they will tell you they switched cause Trek sucks!:p
Anything you buy or want is upgradeable. If the chain breaks, put on a better one. Same with the wheels, shifters, derailleurs. Has nothing to do with the frame maker. I wouldn't doubt Trek has used the same wheels on some of their models that Giant uses. SOme are made by the same comapnies under different labels.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Your comments are very helpful!
Thanks for your very helpful comments.
When I called Giant directly, they said that I'm covered only for 5 years. However, Dealer #1 (I Martin) said that the frame has a lifetime warranty and that I could either get a replacement frame for free, or $110 credit (courtesy of Giant) toward a new bike. He recommended the latter since the rest of the bike is not in great shape.
Based on the 2 comments posted so far, I'm leaning toward the Giant!
I have had a lot of trouble trying to get a warranty on my giant bike, but do try to get either a new frame or credit.
Dealer number 1 seems to know more than giant themselves.
If you are having that many flats, you might consider leaving the tube group and go airless. The recommendation that I would have is to ask the manufacturer to build the tires at 120 psi. Will give you a tad harder ride, but you will not have any flats.

Just the Chris Shays pile would amaze you.
Today I got a flier from Martin A. Goldberg - Democrat for State Senate. Martin is a Socialist in the Obama tradition.
Under the heading "Martin A Goldberg, the Democratic candidate for State Senate will Champion:" you find the following.
Silly me. I thought the basic rights were Life, Liberty and Property, and that securing these is why people establish governments. It seems to me I read that somewhere.
Obamanist Socialism (Obamanism?) is a cancer on our liberty that is spreading. It needs to be stopped.

It was a detailed defense of a decision to not vote. It dealt with the fact that my decision would be counted among the vast apathetic masses that never participate. But that decision came down to the fact that whichever candidate I voted against, that decision would be counted as support for the other. That was a sanction I did not wish to grant to either of them. Whatever damage the eventual winner would inevitably do to the nation - I did not wish to have it done in my name.
This decision also acknowledged the fact that Connecticut will be nowhere near a battleground state. The One will carry Connecticut.
This decision was based on what I have come to see as a vast underestimation of the full potential disaster of an Obama presidency. The more I learn - and with the media cloak around him it has been difficult - the more I have questioned my earlier judgment that in this election there is no viable lesser of two evils choice.
It was this clip of a radio interview from 2001 that really sealed the deal:
I am not enthusiastic about casting a vote for the man responsible for the BCRA assault on the First Amendment. I am not enthusiastic about casting a vote for a man who attacks "Wall Street Greed" as the source of our economic difficulties instead of the government that set up the regulatory market structure in which they worked to maximize their profits. I am not enthusiastic about casting a vote for a man who wants to provide a path to citizenship for people who are in this country in violation of the law. I am not enthusiastic about casting a vote for a man who has joined the Church of Global Warming.
But I will cast a vote for John McCain. That is at least how it will be officially counted. For me it is vote against The One.
It is a vote against "redistributionist change." It is a vote against nationalized health care. It is a vote against weakening the American Military. It is a vote against an unquestioningly "multilateralist foreign policy. It is a vote against Socialism.
Back in July when the nominees had been determined "presumptively," a reader called me on an earlier statement I had made:
I didn't really have much of an answer at the time:
The only answer I can give to Curious is that I don't know. I hope Curious doesn't find that answer as unsatisfying as I do.
Now I have an answer. And I still find it unsatisfying.

Crossed the Equator at 11:35 this morning. Raised a toast to King Neptune with my coffee.
I am sailing close hauled into the wind on a course of 179°. Some time tomorrow I should pass the mark at Fernando De Horonha. The prevailing wisdom seems to be to continue south before turning east toward Cape Town. I will likely follow the prevailing wisdom.
I am currently in my best position ever in the fleet at 2,596. so this is probably not a good time to go off on a flier. The total fleet is now 38,970. I've had the 10 minute auto refresh activated for most of the day and since about 2:00 I have been making slow and steady gains. The leaders are 350 miles ahead and I have no Illusions of catching them. I would however be pleased as hell to finish in the top 1,000.

Coming into the Cape Verde Islands on a great breeze heading just west of south, about 184°, so as to not actually hit an island, I was making great gains on the fleet peaking Saturday evening at 3,992.
I knew that eventually I was going to have to head more to the west, but I also knew that when I did I would likely lose some of those gains.
So I jibed onto starboard and set of southwesterly. It started out well but then, of course, the wind shifted slightly and not in a good way. It was then that I wished I had stuck to my plan and not jibed until I was through the islands. I really had no option to jibe back to port.
So I decided to bite the bullet and keep going. The way things were looking through the Doldrums heading west and then south would keep me in decent wind. Throughout the evening, the losses were agonizing, but I kept telling myself that it would pay off in the end when I turned south again. I set a course at 245° and went to bed.
When I logged back in this morning I had made great progress to the west, and had been passed by 962 boats. I was back to 5,263.
I jibed onto port and pointed the bow south at 8:00 a.m. by 10:00 p.m. I had made up the losses and then some. My position in the fleet 3,421 and improving steadily.
One of the features of a race like this that goes through an area like the Doldrums, is that it can provide an opportunity for those in the back to make great gains on the leaders. If I can manage to get through the region on decent wind while boats in front of me are becalmed, I can come around the turning mark in great position. IF. IF. IF.
On a technical note, I discovered accidentally that I can turn off the automatic 10 minute refresh. (Maybe I should have read some of the directions.) Now my day is not going by in 10 minute snippets and I can get other things done. It also makes it easier to focus on the long term goals of the race rather than just having good results at the next refresh.
I just made another check of the forecast and the size and shape of the doldrums has changed slightly. I was headed for a spot that in 24 hours was predicted to have winds of 3 knots. Not very fast sailing that. I am hesitant to make a jibe onto starboard and head southwest again. So I turned the boat dead down wind - that is with the wind directly astern. I'll see how that works for a while before I decide to jibe.
There will be no avoiding some light air sailing between my current position and the mark, but if this course works out I'll have light air of 9 knots instead of 3.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Sen. Barack Obama has opened up a massive lead over Sen. John McCain in newspaper endorsements.

Leaving aside the role that randomness played in Joe getting to ask his question and the fact that there would need to be hundreds if not thousands of such plants all over the country waiting for chance to strike, my question to left is, So What?
Let's assume for the sake of sheer batshit crazy fantasy that there are thousands of GOP plants in every state in the nation (all 57 of them). They are part of a vast GOP network and they get alerts on their cell phones for when The One is going to be in their area. Their assignment is to be where The One is and hope they get the chance to ask a tricky question.
(There's a whole separate network assigned to do the same with Joe Biden too. That's how we got the "We're not supporting clean coal" video.)
So let's assume Joe is one of these operatives - hell assume that I'm one even though I don't like John McCain and don't want him to be president. Joe got his alert and got him self in position to complete his mission. And he succeeded. He got to ask Obama a trick question about why he wants to tax people for being more successful.
Even if the GOP did all that (and I don't think they're that smart) They didn't write the script for Obama's redistributionist response. That was pure unrehearsed, unscripted, unteleprompted Obama. That was the core belief of The One on display.
The left and the media (there I go repeating myself) don't want you think about the thoroughly Marxist nature of The One's response and his beliefs. So they have gone after Joe the Plumber.
The thing is Joe the Plumber doesn't really matter in all of this. It could have been Tom the carpenter. It could have been Sally the lawyer. It could have been Susie the reporter (well maybe not her). What matters is that The One approaches tax policy, government and the presidency with a philosophy that says is good when government spreads the wealth.
Private citizens spreading their wealth by hiring other citizens or investing in other citizens not so good.
Government with your money = good. You with your money = bad. Or if you prefer, "From each according to his ability. To each according to his need."
When the next alert hits my phone that The One is going to be in my area I'm going to be there. Ready with my trick question. (Note: I don't have any tax liens. My profession does not require a license. I got a ticket for running a red light recently and a couple of tickets in the past for driving without my seatbelt. I am on the record, on this site, that I think either McCain or Obama as president would be bad for America.)
My question for The One: Why do you think it is right and good to take money from people who have worked to earn it and give it to people who have not?
Wish me luck.

To take money from people who earned it, and give it to people who didn't.
He explained that his vision for U.S. tax policy was basic Socialism.
You would think that would be a big deal. That The One's answer would be the focus of a lot of discussion and debate among the chattering classes and the media.
You would be wrong.
The left and the media (but I repeat myself) have been all over Joe the Plumber. Digging into his background and personal affairs in way they have never bothered to do with the candidate.
News flash people. Joe the Plumber is not running for President. He simply had the audacity to ask a question that no one in the media - or the McCain campaign - was going to ask.

I was a few cycles away from breaking into the 4000s when I reached the islands at about noon. Then the wind got lighter and shifty and a clear path through the islands with good speed was not to be had. Add to this that I seriously mistimed my jibe south and was in danger of hitting an island and it was not pretty.
Four and a half hours later I fond myself in steadier stronger winds on the other side of the Canaries. I have begun climbing slowly back through the the fleet passing 9 or 10 boats every cycle I've been holding steady - basically going south for the last 5 hours and baring major wind shifts will stay on that heading for quite a while. My plan is to sail south and hopefully soaking a little bit west for probably the next two days. The next big move will be when to make the turn toward the rounding mark at Ihla de Fernando de Noronha. (Off the coast of Brazil.)
My plan is to pay attention to what the real boats in the real race are doing. Some of the best sailors and navigators on the planet are out there marking a trail.
In the screen cap you will see a few boats very close to HTM. Each 10 minute cycle the software would show you a few of the boats in your general vicinity. On a few occasions today the software brought up boats that are very close. Three boats I marked as "friends" are all within 11 miles of me. Since they are marked they show up on very cycle and are a useful benchmark for my performance.

I continued heading southwest on heading of 240° with boat speeds around 36 knots. Passing on average about 200 boats an hour.
At about 11:00 I jibed the boat to get out of a wind shift and headed south toward the Canary Islands. I jibed to 240° at about 7:00 pm Eastern and sailing at close to 37 knots I am closing in on the 5,000s.
Oh, and there was a debate tonight. I didn't watch it but I know how it will play out. Some conservatives will think that McCain won but didn't hit Obama hard enough. Some will think he lost because he didn't hot Obama hard enough. Liberals will believe that Obama was Presidential and won hands down. And McCain was mean.
In the end - WE ALL LOSE.

When I got up this morning I was in the Atlantic going along and a nice 21 knots on a westerly course. Since I had signed off he night before I had passed 153 boats. Putting me at 17,232.
I changed course to a more Southwesterly heading. This also put me on a better angle to the wind and pushed the boat speed up to 29 knots. I kept passing boats all morning. Usually about 20 to 30 every 10 minute cycle. Then at 11:00 I crossed the point where my position in the fleet was no longer distorted by land masses. (The system calculates relative positions on a crow flies basis.)
The upshot is that the 5000 plus boats that passed me in one 10 minute cycle yesterday were behind me once again.
Boat speed was up to 31 knots and I will still passing boats every cycle. By late afternoon my position was under 10,000.
By early evening the wind was at 27 knots out of the north-northeast and boat speed was up over 36 knots where it has been for several hours. For a while the pace at which I was passing boats slowed, but the last few cycles have all been above 30.

$125 Billion will be spent immediately buying shares of the nine largest banks. Participation is "voluntary."
The remaining $125 billion will be made available to banks throughout the country willing to be nationalized.
I have contacted my bank to determine if they will be selling equity to the federal government. If they do, I will be moving my banking business to another institution.
The loss of my accounts will not be a blow to my current bank - they will not even notice. But I urge everyone to pull their business out of federally owned banks.

The Yacht Hold the Mayo emerged from the Straight of Gibraltar at approximately 9:45 pm EDT. Some unwise course selection and bad wind luck have resulted in missing the goal of reaching this point in the top half of the fleet.
As you can see from the screen cap below I exited the Straight in 17,245th place. There are currently 24,171 registered boats in the race, so I have a lot more bad sailing to do before I can claim DFL honors. (It's a technical sailing term that translates roughly to Dead F'n Last.)
I have maintained the same relative position in the fleet for the last several hours. Passing or being passed by three or four boats every 10 minute cycle. For reference, in the screen cap below, the blue boat just above my stern is about 700 boats behind me, and the pink boat is a bout 500 ahead.
The forecast is for the wind to build over the next 12 hours and shift slightly north. I will probably continue on the same course overnight and begin to turn toward the southwest in the morning.

Because this happened while I was sleeping, the boat sailed well into the middle of a hole with 2 knots of wind from an unfavorable direction. This had a somewhat negative effect on my position relative to the other boats in the race. At its worst, Hold the Mayo was 15,653rd out of 20,750.
I set a slightly more northward course in the morning and by early afternoon I had broken out of the hole and onto a stronger more favorable breeze. In one 10 minute cycle I passed over 5,000 boats!
The breeze held steady at 11 knots throughout the afternoon and I moved up steadily through the fleet. Each 10 minute cycle of the software I passed a few more boats until I reached my best position of the day at 8,823.
Early in the evening my wind fell back to 6 knots and I began to slowly loose ground. My goal at this point is to make it through the Straights of Gibraltar no worse than 10,375 (mid fleet).
The 12 hour forecast calls for winds 20 - 25 knots from a direction that would put me on nice screaming reach past The Rock. But the 12 hour forecast at 8:00 am this morning was for 30 - 35 knots. Except for one brief 8 minute squall during which I had boat speeds of 31 knots, those winds have never arrived.
In the time I spent writing this post (I accidentally deleted it once and had to start over), I have reached the edge of the next hole and unfavorable wind shift. I lost more than 5,000 boats and dropped to 14,571. The wind ahead on my current course looks even lighter. What I need to decide is do I change course based on this, or hold my course based on the forecast. If I head southerly for slightly better wind, and the forecast 20-25 winds come through, I will likely run out of water while I sleep. One important rule of ocean racing is to not hit any of the continents. If I hold course and the winds don't come I'll be deep in the back of the fleet when my alarm goes off in the morning.
(One hour later) I've thought it over and spent some time looking at the problem and have decided to hold my current course. I needed to get my head around the simple idea that the place numbers are determined based on the relationship to the wind and the next mark of the course for the lead boat. The lead boat is currently 360 Km ahead of me in the Atlantic in wind that has nothing whatsoever to do with the artificial reality I am sailing in. As the boats move through the choke point at Gibraltar the standings will sort themselves out again.
Here's were I am as of now, 14,673rd. Holding a steady course at 274° that should put me right down the middle of the Straights if the wind direction holds.
P.S. I am fully aware that when things get sorted out at Gibraltar it my be that somewhere in the 15,000's is accurate and the 8,000's were the anomaly.

As much as I would like, I cannot actually be part of the race I decided to do the next best thing and enter the Virtual Race. The yacht Hold The Mayo is as of this writing in 6583rd place. But there are more than 13,000 entries in the race so I'm far from last.
There are lots of extras you can get like an auto pilot, and having the program pick the best sail for you. You get them by redeeming points- which you buy. I've decided to sail around the world on the cheep.
Here's what happened at the start. I had set a course I wanted to take off the line but was unable to get to the game until this evening and sailed into a large wind shift ad was left with the wrong sail up and a speed of 0 knots.
I've since changed course and am underway but sailing in light winds. It looks like there are some better winds ahead though it gets a little confused around Gibraltar. Hold The Mayo should reach the Rock in about 2 days.

The debate has moved beyond the questions of should government control our lives and the economy. The questions have become about how much and how.
Both candidates supported massive government intervention in the financial industry. Both parties supported the Federal Government taking equity in financial corporations. The technical definition of political system in which government controls capital is Socialism.
The Republican candidate, the supposed conservative, is supporting the notion that the government purchase individual mortgages and renegotiate them based on the decreased value of the underlying asset. Giving a pass to those who cannot meat the obligations they signed onto at the expense of those who are not defaulting on a mortgage they cannot afford.
It is ironic that in the midst of the current financial crisis the president of France pronounced it to be the failure of the American capitalist system. This country has been on the path of European socialism for decades. We're just not as far gone as some of them. It is only a matter of degree. And a matter of time.
When asked at the recent debate if health care was a right, a privilege, or a responsibility Senator Obama answered that it is a right. Senator McCain answered that it is a responsibility. However based on his "health care plan" I believe he sees it as a government responsibility. McCain wants to tax employer paid benefits, provide a $5,000 refundable tax credit and allow people to shop for insurance across state lines. On the surface this looks like he wants to put the individual in charge of their own health care. However, by doing this through a refundable tax credit the government is buying your health insurance. A refundable tax credit can be paid to an individual even if the amount of the credit is more than the person paid it taxes in the first place. He would replace the government established system of employer provided insurance with government provided insurance. Making the future insurance credit a political issue to frighten or buy votes.
The debate between the Obama and McCain health care plans is not about weather or not we should have socialized medicine but rather how big should the next step in that direction be. The only argument I can find for the GOP plan is that its a smaller step and given the composition of the congress it would never be enacted.
The Obama campaign has a well earned reputation for being intolerant of criticism. They have used a number of tactics on a number of occasions to try to shut down the speech of others. They tried to use the justice deprtment to block an ad highlighting the candidate's relationship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. They called upon their supporters to flood phone lines with complaints to shout down a radio interview with a reporter investigating aspects of Obama's relationship to Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.
The Obama campaign is not the government, yet, so its actions disturbing as they are cannot be labeled as unconstitutional. But they do demonstrate a clear disdain for the concept of free speech.
On the other side of the ballot we have a candidate who worked hard to pass legislation that limits the ability of citizens to participate in the political process by limiting what they are allowed to say and when they are allowed to say it. Meaning freedom of speech does not have friend in this election.
It is tempting to argue that our only hope to avert disaster is to elect a divided government. But I don't think we have that out in this case. A McCain presidency with a far left controlled Congress would not create the log-jam needed to protect what individual freedom we have left. McCain uses his willingness to cast aside his "conservative principles" and work with the other side as an affirmative reason to give him your vote. There is no chance for a strongly conservative congress to stand in the way of either candidate's plans to chip away at freedom.
I don't see there being hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil option this time around.

McCain's pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate was the closest ting to a bright light in an otherwise dismal electoral future. That the left and the media (redundant I know) have done there savage best to tear the governor down is clear.
The Alaska legislative committee investigating "TrooperGate" issued it's report. It is in my opinion completely meaningless. But no doubt then media will have a field day.
Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides: The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.
*Although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
The entirety of the first finding, which is all the media will report, amounts to finding her guilty of a hate crime - with no underlying criminal act.
In a sane world this would treated as the partisan garbage it so clearly is. But then in a sane world this investigation and report would have never happened.

Where have you people been for the last 18 months? Have you not heard a word The One has said? You need some dubious article about some dubious Chicago political organization to bring you to the conclusion that Obama is a Socialist.
Wake up. Listen to what the man says.
That Obama is a Socialist has been obvious for a very long time.

I hate when that happens. I hate that people think they can get away with making something disappear. The left tries it all the time - and I hate that they are that stupid.

Staying cool may seem like common sense, but often times the effects of heat can catch you by surprise.
When conditions are particularly humid, our bodies can't sufficiently cool off, and that's when we need to take precautions. The Muskingum Valley Red Cross urges you to stay inside, but here are some tips for those that are required to be in the heat.
"If you have things you have to do around the house, mow the lawn or whatever, do that really early morning or late afternoon or evening when it's cooler. But if you do have to be working outside, drink plenty of fluids, preferably water," says Julie Davis of the Muskingum Valley Red Cross.
Drinking fluids is the key to keeping your body cool. Davis says that while sports drinks are ok, water is the best way to stay properly hydrated.
"You need to drink more water than what you think you need because thirst is not always an indicator of that so drink lots of fluids and don't let it be too cold because you don't want to change that internal temperature too quickly," says Davis.
Wearing a hat and light-weight clothing is also a good idea if you plan on being outside. Otherwise, stay cool in the air conditioning and check on your elderly neighbors.

When it comes to smartphone games, kids aren't the only ones who want to "catch 'em all."
By Joy Rauls, Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas.
Technology is improving the world at a rapid pace, but even the most helpful technology can become a problem in the wrong hands. For example, the evolution of the Internet has made it easier to stay in touch through social media and research school projects, while smartphones have made it easy to capture life's special moments with a candid photo. However, this same technology may also be making children more vulnerable.
As an organization committed to securing justice and healing for the child victims of sexual abuse, the Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) of Texas are encouraging parents and guardians to pay closer attention to the digital media that children are consuming.
Not that long ago, the greatest online threat facing children was the overtures they might encounter in an online chat room, so many parents restricted access to them and even took the wise step of restricting computer use to highly visible areas in the home like the living room. However, smartphones have given young people more unrestricted online access and created new avenues for predators to find them.
According to a recent study, one in 25 youth received an online sexual solicitation where the solicitor tried to make offline, in-person contact. Considering that more than half of all American children between the ages of 8-12 have a cellphone, the odds of inappropriate contact are increasing.
The latest smartphone craze is even greater cause for concern. Pokémon Go is an "augmented reality" game created to take advantage of a smart phone's camera, geo-location abilities and easy interface. While enthusiasts praise the game for getting kids off the couch and walking outdoors, there are some troubling aspects of the game that parents should consider before turning their kids loose to "catch them all."
First, the game can cause a lack of situational awareness, leading players to walk into traffic, wander out of their neighborhood or even fall off a cliff as two young men did in California.
Second, the game includes "lure modules" which can be bought to attract the digital characters and the players pursuing them to a particular area. Family oriented businesses like ice cream parlors are employing this tactic to draw customers, but so are criminals who have placed those lures in low-traffic areas then robbed and assaulted players drawn to their "bait."
Third, the allure of "catching them all" can cause players to disregard social norms like respect for property, with reports of players caught lurking near police stations and, just this week, one homeowner opened fire on players who were obliviously trespassing on his property.
If a child predator were to create optimal opportunities to exploit children, it would likely involve all the behaviors listed above. With that in mind, we are encouraging parents to review the accompanying safety tips and share them with their children to guide their behavior when playing Pokémon Go and other augmented reality games.
At the end of the day, the game is creating fun for kids and their families all over the world, but parents and guardians need to be aware of the potential opportunities this gives predators to exploit children. Because the threats on the path to digital exploitation in any form are real, a growing number of CACs across Texas are working with their partners in law enforcement to incorporate cyber-crime detectives into their efforts. We also work closely with the FBI's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to investigate online crimes against children.
Our goal is to rally Texas communities in defense of children, working together to identify victims, apprehend predators and pursue justice. The key is for all involved to be aware of the new realities of the online world and stay alert and engaged.
So be aware, set up some family rules and be sure to seek help if you or someone you know has been inappropriately approached or harmed by a stranger. That way, we can enjoy the benefits of this impressive technology with none of the downside.
Founded in 1994 with a membership of 13 local centers, the CACTX membership roster today includes 69 established and developing centers in large urban cities as well as in small rural communities. CACTX creates a statewide platform for public-private partnerships within communities, fueling the success of the CAC approach by uniting advocates and giving local centers a statewide voice. From their headquarters in Austin, the CACTX team coordinates services among the following groups: local centers, Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDTs), statewide government agencies, stakeholders, community volunteers, and child welfare advocates. Working together, they positively affect policy and funding for the CAC movement and partner service organizations. CACTX membership reflects the vast diversity of Texas, all with their own unique approaches to fulfilling our shared mission of protecting and providing for children.

Tips for the safe use of smartphone games like Pokémon Go:
- Don't leave the neighborhood without parental permission.
- Don't go alone. Take a friend or invite a parent to tag along. If you do go out alone, agree on a timeframe in advance and check in every 20 minutes or so.
- Be careful with Pokéstops and Pokégyms. They're exciting finds, but they may be patronized by someone with questionable intentions. So only visit them during the day with a friend or two.
- Avoid isolated areas especially if you're alone.
- Don't risk your safety to get a Pokémon, no matter how rare it is. Not even a Pikachu is worth hopping a fence or wading in a pond.
- Respect others' property. Just because there is a Pokémon on a neighbor's porch doesn't mean you should walk across their lawn.
- Watch out for tunnel vision. If your eyes are locked on the screen, you might trip, step off a curb, end up in a ditch or wander into traffic. Stay alert!
- Definitely don't play the game on your bike, scooter or skateboard. It might speed up play, but it also multiplies your risk of a serious injury.
- Stay alert. If you want to listen to the game on earbuds, keep one ear open so you can hear what's happening around you.
Did you know:
Out of 47,000 child victims served at a CAC in Texas each year: 67%
of these children are female.

After a long period of uncertainty since the #Inhumans movie was taken off Marvel's Phase 3 slate of films, the House of Ideas has confirmed that the Royal Family will be taking their adventures to television. The show will consist of eight episodes, with the first two being released in IMAX theaters for two weeks in September, 2017; after that, they'll move to ABC.
Because of the network, you might have thought it would be very similar to #AgentsOfSHIELD, but such will not be the case; it won't even be a spin-off of the latter. Inhumans is a much bigger project, that, if handled correctly, could be a great addition to the MCU, which made me realize...
'The Inhumans' Can Be The MCU's 'Game Of Thrones'
The Inhumans have a very intricate lore. The main heroes are the Royal family of a civilization with different layers of authority and population relevance, laws elevated by their fictional nature, concepts that give the world the possibility to be a franchise on its own.
The #MCU has built its mythology through a vast number of heroes that combined form its cohesive history. Inhumans, on the other hand, have an already rich mythology without the need of outside sources (This dynamic is best explored in Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's comic book run).
People crave fantasy and sci-fi mythologies told the right way. We just have to look at #GameofThrones for proof enough of that. Audiences fell in love with the world because, while it was surrounded by unknown fictional lore, characters and concepts, the show tackled them in an exciting and (somewhat) digestible way. It stood on its own thanks mostly to its mythology and incredibly rich world-building.
Inhumans can be just the same from what the comic books handle: Deep (and sometimes confusing) lore? Check. Chances for political intrigue? Check. Complicated and flawed yet likable characters? Check. Tense or less-than-ideal family dynamics? Check and check.
The Royal Family is a bit cruel with their hierarchy, deciding an individual's role in society depending on their power level despite how humiliating or restricting it can be. Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans, constantly struggles with that, stating at one point
"You are the king of Attilan... A fabulous realm of some four thousand disparate, metapowered individuals. You are the most powerful of all, which is why you are king."
#Television is a very different medium from movies; Marvel would have much more time than their usual two hours to set up the characters, world, and storyline to make Attilan and its residents feel alive. That's an open door of possibilities to give Black Bolt, Medusa, and the rest layers:
Costumes and powers don't instantly earn them the title of "heroes." They can be cruel and unforgiving, and crafting likable protagonists around such a big flaw would make for an innovative and deep storyline in the live-action comic book genre.
#Marvel has yet to take a deep dive in a mythology as vast as the Inhumans', and, as I've said before, if the MCU is to keep striving at the box office, it needs to explore different types of heroes, different concepts. You might be thinking that, seeing how Inhumans is a TV show, they'll have no part in the next step of the MCU's ever-growing box office numbers... the thing is...
The Inhumans Could Quickly Join The Big-Screen Heroes Due To The Show's Higher Quality
Something that immediately caught my attention when reading the news was that Inhumans would premiere in September 2017. That's eight months away from when #AvengersInfinityWar hits theaters and two years before the film was originally scheduled for release.
The quality of a #TV series with 20+ episodes per season can suffer due to constrictive budgets and a long episode count over which to stretch a story. What successful TV shows shows like Bates Motel, The People v O.J. Simpson, The Crown and previously mentioned Game of Thrones have in common is their movie-like, high quality production. They have a lesser number of episodes, therefore little room for filler to directly deal with the premise.
Inhumans will consist of only eight episodes co-financed by IMAX. Such a stark contrast between it and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in regard to scale means Marvel wants a focused introduction for the Royal Family into the MCU. In fact, its brief theatrical run could be a way to test the property with audiences and know whether the Royal Family is worth a franchise similar to #CaptainAmerica, #IronMan and #Thor.
Hopefully, they are crafting the property with the same approach as the series mentioned above and will treat the characters with respect. Marvel giving them such an ambitious project means the Inhumans have a long road ahead of them in the MCU.
It would even work great to keep Inhumans going as an event-like TV series while prominently featuring the characters on the big screen. That would allow Marvel to exploit the mythology's full potential and to expand the #MarvelCinematicUniverse even further.

David Koepp to Write 'The Thin Man' Script
Uber-screenwriter David Koepp has been brought on to pen the script for The Thin Man, the long-in-the-works remake with Johnny Depp attached to star.
Depp is reportedly more interested in speeding up the process for Thin Man — in which he'll play the lead role of unconventional detective Nick Charles made famous in the 1934 original by William Powell — after his Lone Ranger project fell apart recently.
Koepp is one of the biggest names in screenwriting, having scripted tentpoles like Jurassic Park and Spider-Man, as well as the upcoming Men in Black 3. He also directed Depp in the 2004 thriller Secret Window. Depp is, of course, coming off the box office success of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, directed by Rob Marshall — who will helm The Thin Man.

Just three left in Grange Hill scheme
Grange Hill, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14
There are just three homes remaining in the first phase of Grange Hill, a new development on Harold's Grange Road, at the foothills of the Dublin Mountains.
The initial phase of the Rathfarnham scheme was launched in April and two more will follow later this year, according to the selling agent. The development will ultimately comprise about 70 homes.
There are two house types left in the current phase of Grange Hill, namely one in The Kilakee style and two from The Cruagh house type. Both are built over three storeys and have nine-inch ceilings throughout. French windows open out from the kitchens to the paved patios, and the back gardens are enclosed by high walls. There is an option to install either a wood-burning stove or a gas-inset fire in the living rooms.
The Kilakee is a four-bed terraced house with a floor area of 1,883 sq ft, while the five-bed semi-detached homes in The Cruagh style have a living space of 2,637 sq ft. The four-bed costs from €575,000 and the selling agent says the two five-beds are a tad more expensive, but the developer is still crunching the numbers to determine the final price.
The four-bed has a kitchen/dining/living room and guest WC on the ground floor, two bedrooms, one ensuite and a bathroom on the first floor, and two additional bedrooms, another ensuite, a bathroom and a study/playroom on the top floor. The latter can be converted to give the option of a fifth bedroom.
The five-bed properties are laid out over an L shape and the ground-floor kitchen/dining area is located in the elongated portion of the layout. There are two hallways, to the front and rear, effectively splitting the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, one ensuite, and the family bathroom. The top floor is home to the master bedroom, a bathroom and a study/playroom.
The timber-framed homes have BER ratings of A3 building, a minimum typical for homes built after 2012, and are fitted with solar panels, tripled-glazed windows and a Vaillant eco-TEC pressurised gas heating system.
Access to the M50 is a five-minute drive away and the nearest Luas station is at Balally, about two miles away. Would-be buyers at Grange Hill seeking to relax with a slice of the great outdoors need only walk 300m to reach Marlay Park, with its walks, woodlands and farmers' market.
Viewing is by appointment only.

Before UFC bantamweight champion, Amanda Nunes became the champion, she was a no-name fighter competing on the regional circuit in Brazil. She lost her pro debut, but stunned at DF Demo Fight 3 back in 2008 when she secured her first ever professional win.
Oh yeah, she did it in just :11 seconds.
Did you happen to see that it was also a forfeit by her opponent's corner?
INSANE right?
Amanda's opponent, Paty Barbosa, was making her MMA debut, and never again fought after her devastating loss. It took only 11 seconds for her corner to throw in the towel to stop the fight.
Ironically, Junior dos Santos was also on this card. He scored a first round TKO (doctor stoppage) in the co-main event.
Amanda would slowly climb her way up the UFC bantamweight rankings where she eventually faced new champion, Miesha Tate. She defeated Tate via a first round submission to become the bantamweight champion, but it wasn't until she beat the former queen of the division (Ronda Rousey) that she began to garner the attention a title holder deserves.
She is currently awaiting the opponent for her next title defense.

Finding the Right Apartment for Your Pets
Make Use of Available Resources, Such as a Houston Apartment Review
Contact a Renters Resource apartment locator in Houston, Texas to get specialized Houston apartment listings that will allow both you and your pets. You can even do your own search online for a Houston apartment review, using our Web site if you want. Keep in mind, if you have special needs, such as large or multiple pets, one of our experienced apartment locators might be able to serve you best.
Give Yourself Enough Time to Find New Cheap Apartments in Houston
Nobody likes the hassles involved with moving, much less finding Houston apartment listings or rental housing that accepts pets. If you are renting an apartment now, contact your Renters Resource apartment locator at least six weeks before your lease expires.
Understand why many rental properties reject pets.
Put yourself in the shoes of a rental property owner or apartment manager, rental property owner, apartment manager, or condominium association board member for a moment: They may have had bad experiences with irresponsible pet owners who didn't safely confine their animals or pick up their .deposits., sneaked pets in to their apartment, or left ruined carpets and drapes when they moved out. They may be worried about complaints from neighbors in other apartments about barking dogs and wonder how they are going to deal effectively with pet owners if problems arise. All these concerns are legitimate.
That's why people looking for an apartment in Houston, must be able to sell themselves as responsible pet owners, who are committed to providing responsible pet care and being responsible neighbors.
Recognize that it may be futile to try to sell yourself and your pet to an apartment complex with a no-pets policy.
You're more likely to be successful if you focus on places that allow most pets, allow certain pets (for example, cats or dogs weighing less than 20 pounds), or that don't say, "Sorry, no pets."
Ideally, look for an apartment complex with appropriate pet-keeping guidelines that specify resident obligations. That's the kind of place that's ideal for pet owners because you'll know that other pet caregivers living in your same apartment complex also are committed to being responsible residents.
Gather proof that you're responsible.
The more documentation you can provide attesting to your conscientiousness as a pet owner, the more convincing your appeal will be to your future landlord or apartment manager. Compile the following documents:
- A letter of reference from your current landlord or apartment manager verifying that you are a responsible pet owner.
- Written proof that your adult dog has completed a training class, or that your puppy is enrolled in one.
- A letter from your veterinarian stating that you have been diligent in your pet's medical care.
- Supply documentation that your pet has been spayed or neutered. (Sterilized pets are healthier, calmer, and far less likely to be a nuisance to neighbors.) Most veterinarians routinely fulfill such requests for their clients.
Make your request to property owner or apartment MANAGER, who is the individual with the ultimate authority to grant your request.
The property owner or apartment manager may, however, delegate the decision to a leasing agent.
If you encounter a no-pets policy at the apartment complex, ask if it is the result of a negative experience with a previous resident.
Addressing your property owner or apartment manager's prior experience may show you how to present your own request most effectively.
Let the property owner or apartment manager know that you share any concerns about cleanliness.
Point out that your pet is housetrained or litter-box trained. Emphasize that you always clean up after your dog outdoors and that you always properly dispose of your pet's waste on the property.
Promote yourself.
Responsible pet owners make excellent residents. Because they must search harder for an apartment, pet caregivers are more likely to stay put. Lower vacancy rates mean lower costs and fewer headaches for property owners or apartment managers. Let prospective property owners or apartment managers know that you understand that living with a companion animal is a privilege, not a right.
Promote your pet.
Offer to bring your pet to meet the property owner or apartment manager, or invite the apartment manager to visit you and your pet in your current apartment. A freshly groomed, well-behaved pet will speak volumes. Emphasize that the same pride you take in caring for your pet extends to taking care of your apartment. Many property owners or apartment managers are concerned about fleas, so be sure to let your prospective property owner or apartment manager now that you maintain an active flea-control program for your pet and home. Provide written proof that your pet is spayed or neutered and is, therefore, healthier, calmer, and less likely to be a nuisance.
Make it clear to the property owner or apartment manager that you keep your cat inside and your dog under control at all times and that you understand the health and safety benefits of doing so.
If you can't arrange for a meeting, consider making a short scrapbook with photos of your pampered pet in his or her current apartment and/or draw up a résumé for your pet. Scrapbooks and résumés are unique ideas that are guaranteed to make a strong, yet positive, impression.
Be willing to pay a little extra.
Tell your prospective property owner or apartment manager that you are willing to pay an extra security deposit to cover any damages your pet might make to the rental property.
Get it in writing.
Once you have been given permission by a property owner or apartment manager to have a pet, be sure to get it in writing. Sign a pet addendum to your rental lease agreement. Comprehensive lease agreements protect people, rental property, and the pets themselves. If your rental lease agreement has a no-pets clause, verbal approval won't be enough. The no-pets clause should be removed from the lease agreement (or crossed out and initialed) before you sign it. Be sure it has been removed from or crossed out on your property owner or apartment manager's copy, too.
You may be required to pay a pet deposit, some or all of which may be nonrefundable. Be sure to discuss security deposits and monthly pet-related fees in advance. And have these fees put into writing, too. Request a copy of any apartment rules pertaining to pets. Let the property owner or apartment manager know that you will abide by the rules set for the broader community and respect the concerns of residents at the same apartment complex who do not own pets.
Be honest.
Don't try to sneak your pet in to your new apartment. With the inevitable maintenance issues, someone is going to find out that you are keeping a pet in your apartment. On top of that, keeping an animal in violation of a no-pets rule contributes to the general inclination of property owners or apartment managers not to allow pets. You also may be subject to possible eviction or other legal action.

This is How Medical Alert Bracelets Became Prescription Jewelries
Announcing is not really the style of cardio-pulmonary disorders. Heart ailments prefer quiet until the point of
attack. Those suffering from chronic heart conditions are known to keep their guard up at all time as a cautionary
measure against sudden strikes. Depressingly, there are so many other clinical conditions that require steady
monitoring and immediate attention. So, the question becomes, is there any way in which one can ensure their
health from such emergent fits?
For instance, a person with an acute case of dementia might find their memory gone while shopping in a
supermarket. Help will arrive when someone calls for it, but how can they let the doctor know of their condition or
certain allergies that they have when they don't remember a thing? Jewelers came up with a brilliant solution to this
enormous problem, medical ID jewelry they called it.
So, how did these stock jewelries find their way to registered doctors' prescriptions? They had to earn the sanction
of the medical community and that didn't happen overnight. The earliest model of medical tags evolved into high-
end utilitarian pieces with time. A consensus grew around these medical alert bracelets Canada with the
understanding that the ID helps in conveying crucial medical intelligence that can alone be shared by the patient,
their family or their doctor. Everything about their existing medical condition, allergies, the medication they are on
and the preferred treatments are inscribed on the bracelet plaques.
Doctors came to appreciate the utility of these jewelries when some of them saved fatal errors from happening.
Since the patients' health record can't be kept handy at all time, the doctors need to work with the key issues and
the medical ID tag reveals the highlights of the users' medical history.
In emergency cases where the patient has lost consciousness or is not in a state of health to divulge pivotal
information about their health status, these medical bracelets Canada's peak for the patients. Medical ID tags have
grown so much popular over the past decade that checking for a tag has become one of the preliminary steps of a
These days, medical responders are trained to read medical ID tags. Due to the shortage of space, the jewelries use a
lot of shorthand entries that have to be decrypted confidently and instantaneously. Training modules are
commissioned to new physicians to enable them to read such notes fluently and accurately.
Doctors today often recommend a medical alert accessory prescription to their patients who have medical
urgencies. The tags have saved lives in the past and are by far the best contingency precaution money can buy in the
said situation. You can get yours made from gold, silver and even platinum and wear it like any other wrist jewelry.
Julie Hanson is a medical professional who retired recently. She now writes articles and blogs on medical awareness
and helps a social cause in spreading such awareness. She recommends www.medicengraved.com for all medical
jewelry for those suffering from fatal illnesses.

OPPOSITION leader Bill Shorten says he does not buy the Nationals' denial about being 'duped' by the fuel tax, insisting the minor Coalition party has joined the list of Australians "betrayed" by Tony Abbott.
"It's very hard for Barnaby Joyce to admit he's been conned. And why on earth would Joe Hockey own up to it," the Opposition Leader told reporters in Canberra.
"Everyone knows the secret is out. The National Party are the patsies of the Liberal Party in Australia, they're just being used."
Mr Shorten said the party has forgotten about the bush and should "stand up" for rural and regional Australia over the fuel excise hike.
The Nationals earier denied they were duped by their Liberal colleagues over the decision to raise the fuel excise in the budget.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce came face to face at the doors of Parliament House this morning, both insisting reports the Nationals were played are false.
Senior Liberals have told the ABC they deliberately created pre-budget speculation about cutting the diesel fuel rebate, in order to get their Coalition colleagues to accept the lesser of two evils — the excise change.
But Senator Cormann said he was involved at "every step of the way" of budget deliberations and it was a "united process".
"That story was a complete fabrication," he told reporters as his "very good friend" Mr Joyce watched on.
"There is absolutely no truth about the proposition that was circulated on ABC News last night.

Nats caught with their moleskins down #suckedin #auspol— Joel Fitzgibbon (@fitzhunter) June 4, 2014
"There was absolutely no question that all of us, right across the Coalition, Liberal and National party, were focused on the job that needed to be done to fix the budget mess."
Minister Joyce said he has asked senior Liberals about the report and the conversation "never happened".
"I spoke to the Treasurer. He said it just didn't happen."
"You just heard from Mathias Cormann. He said it didn't happen."
He said both are trustworthy men and denied the Nationals are naive enough to be duped.
Shadow Agriculture Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said he always thought the diesel fuel rebate speculation before the budget was a "straw man".
"The Nats have well and truly been caught with their moleskins down," Mr Fitzgibbon said.
Nationals MP Andrew Broad claimed people don't really care about the internal politics, but rather what is the final product.
"Skulduggery in politics. Is that a news story?"
"No one's tricking me. I didn't come down in the last shower."
The Nationals are staunch supporters of the controversial rebate, which benefits farmers and mining companies who use diesel off-road.

Tony Parker Brent Barry
November 18, 2010 by Post Team
Tony Parker Brent Barry, A sound of the explosion online claims Tony Parker was allegedly involved with the wife of former teammate Brent Barry Erin Barry, and she is the "other woman", whose text messages Eva Longoria says that the reports are in Parker's phone.
This is what we know …
According to his friend Mario Lopez, Longoria found "hundreds of text messages" other woman "who turned out to be the wife of one of his teammates [Parker]."
Lopez did not release members (or former) of the San Antonio Spurs was Parker's teammate in question.
However, a reporter for Sports Illustrated magazine named Bryan Armen Graham Twitter "is on good authority from sources of entertainment that" former teammate "in Tony Parker, Eva Longoria is a matter of Brent Barry."
Sports Illustrated reporter, reveals nothing more about their sources.
If Barry comes to be the player in question would be his wife, Erin Barry, a woman whose text messages led to marriage Longoria and Parker.
Brent Barry and Erin are currently in the midst of a divorce.
Gossip Cop agent Barry reached for comment.
Once more, now are merely accusations and Gossip Cop is working to verify the allegations.

It's about time to return to school. Classes, gym, sports, music, and friends await!
Topics: asthma, asthma treatment, exercise, Back to School, allergies
As all asthmatics know, it's nice to have something that helps fix your shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, or chest tightness right away. Like many asthmatics, your albuterol inhaler, which helps relieve these symptoms, can quickly become your very best friend! But did you know that you can get too much of a good thing? Read more to learn why.
Topics: asthma, managing my asthma, asthma treatment, abuterol
Topics: asthma, managing my asthma, asthma triggers, exercise
Asthma patients know all to well the suffering from being short of breath, having a tight chest and cough, and the wheezing noises. Why do these problems come and go? Can't they just stay gone?
The term 'trigger' is often used for a reason that asthma gets worse. Triggers can be obvious but often are not. For instance, all asthmatics have certain genetic issues that set them up to have asthma to begin with. You can't do anything about your DNA, but you can deal with the other things that affect your asthma! Let's go through some of the most common asthma triggers.
1) Allergies
Did you know? Allergies are present in up to 80% of asthmatics! Allergy exposure makes asthma worse in two distinct ways.
a. Acute allergic triggers: An example of an acute exposure would be you visiting a friend's house who has a few cats and noting that within 15 minutes that your chest gets tight, you're wheezy, short of breath, and cough. In addition, you have itchy eyes, itchy nose, and you start sneezing. The end result is that you realize this isn't good and you leave.
b. Chronic allergic triggers: With many months of exposure to an allergy, asthma progressively gets worse. In the end, you just get used to the asthma and adapt. You don't run or laugh as much, use your albuterol reliever more often, and mis out on the fun. Then, more and more medications are needed to counteract this. Cold air, exercise, and infections can really set off the asthma for these patients. The dust mites in your beds and carpets, the dog or cat you love, and the outdoor mold season can all be to blame.
What can we do? For some, avoidance helps. Immunotherapy, mainly allergy shots, can help you become far less allergic so the exposures don't bother you nearly as much. Both avoidance and allergy shots are a gradual, no medication way, to improve your asthma.
2) Exercise
Most asthmatics find that after a long period of sustained, hard aerobic exercise they have asthma symptoms. This can happen even with laughter for some! The poorer the asthma control, the quicker this happens.
The answer isn't to quit exercise! Rather, having the best day to day control and the use of a bronchodilator like albuterol about 15 minutes before the exercise can help.
3) Infections
Almost every asthmatic gets worse when they catch a common cold. Other viruses also trigger asthma flares - influenza being infamous. Viral triggered asthma can be severe and the effects often go on for months. It is rare for bacteria to flare the asthma and that is why antibiotics rarely help asthma. Getting your flu shot is an important thing you can do to lessen asthma problems! Hand washing is another important intervention.
4) Environment
Cigarette smoke, dust, air pollution, strong fumes, and cold air may irritate the lining of the bronchial tubes. At times workplace exposures can be a problem. Possibilities include flour, cedar saw dust, and numerous chemicals. Reducing exposures, when possible, can help.
5) Aspirin
Some people develop severe asthma attacks after taking aspirin or aspirin-like drugs including ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, and others. Many of these people also have nasal polyps (small, non-cancerous tumors in the nose). While avoidance is the normal treatment, some patients undergo aspirin desensitization to help.
Working together with your entire care team can lead to greatly improved asthma control. Your Allergist can identify the worst triggers, plan interventions that work, and coordinate your asthma program.
Topics: asthma, managing my asthma, asthma triggers, asthma treatment
It doesn't seem fair — not only do you have asthma but you also suffer from allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and nose, plus that itchy rash in the creases of your arms and legs. While genetics play a role in your asthma, so can allergy and infections.
For most patients, exposures to allergens (things we can be allergic to like dust mites, pollens, etc.) are to blame for causing most of these symptoms. If you want to get better, you have to treat your allergies.
Your options are:
Topics: fix allergies, allergy treatments, allergist, asthma, dust mite allergy, allergy shots
Topics: fix allergies, allergy treatments, asthma, allergy symptoms, dust mites, dust mite allergy
Topics: asthma, managing my asthma, asthma treatment
Along with the cooler weather comes the flu season. If you suffer from allergies and/or asthma, you could be at a higher risk for catching influenza. Having the flu is bad enough, but it can cause your asthma to flare.
Topics: influenza, fall allergies, flu season, asthma

Create a new partition, and install XP on to the new partition

the windows 7 OS if you so wish as robertoszwald said.

I'll do that! If I set it away now it'll be done by the time I feel sleepy.
I'll install XP, format the partition with Win7 on, reinstall XP back onto the partition it was on, then at a later date think about Win7 again.

Hello Takeshi Kovacs, welcome to Se7en Forums!
You may have a hard time formatting the "System" partition (the first partition/OS on the HDD) I had a problem formatting Vista one time when it was the system partition; I can't remember the workaround right now, I just thought I'd give you a heads up about it.
Be sure to let us know how it sorts out.

Well so far I have reinstalled XP64 onto a different partition and it boots up quite happily into XP, but it won't let me format the old partition that Win7 was on. I will have a play around again tomorrow, it's 1.30am here and I am ready for my bed
In disk management it is still listed as "system".
I'd appreciate that, Ted

Hello Takeshi.
Why don't you leave 7 there for a while, you may come to like it; you can always add a boot entry to the boot menu so you can get back into 7: it boots straight into XP now, right? You'd have to do a repair on 7.
When you've rested have a look at the tutorials, at the links below; I know it says Vista but it works with 7. I use the dual boot guide myself. You don't have to decide any time soon, you've got your XP back and that's what you wanted.

What is on your D: partition labeled "AcerData"?
If thats a recovery partition, you should check with acer web support to see how to restore the system to "new". It will reinstall whatever OS came with the PC and all the necessary drivers, including any software that came with PC (although most is usually unwanted).
If the windows 7 partition is marked as the "Active" partition, that might be why it won't allow you to delete it.
Go into disk management, check which is marked as active and if its the 7 partition, right click on XP's partition and choose it to be the active partition.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Morning all,
Robert, I didn't use any software just Windows' own. I also think I am too much of a novice looking at ultimateboot CD looking at their website, I wouldn't know what to download
The disk is marked dark blue, I have tried right clicking it etc. to see if I can find this 'active' option and I can't. My friend suggests I put one his spare copies of Windows Vista Business that he liberated from work and forget about x64.
There is no AcerData or any thing, I build this computer myself and having owned an Acer laptop, I certainly wouldn't buy anything off them again.
