I was born in Brazil and lived there until 33 years old. I since live in Michigan but, my job takes me all around the world.
One thing I repeat: I'm not against discussion but, the discourse in the West after 40 years of civil rights activism and political correctness turned discriminatory against the Wasp or white majority populations. Today, this type of discourse often takes a divisive and prejudice tone that indulge priviledges and victimhood to "minorities", indiscriminatedly. Why not to instead propose equality of all under the law, equal opportunity and equal responsibility.
Instead, the liberal elites defend division of classes, skin color, sexes, social background, etnicity, ideology and all else. Enough of that, please!
There will be no peace and no harmony in a world where some must give and some only take; where division of a nation is the rule. The hipocrisy of people that eloquently and quickly pull out words like racism or correctness but are the first to see race and divide with their discourse.
The reality is that either in the USA, Europe or Brazil, societies don't accept bigotry and are outraged when attacked as racist, sexist, elitist or, simply asked to pay more taxes, in spite of a majority that doesn't pay taxes at all.
To the author I can say to elaborate more on unite and include everyone, without raising that this or that groups do better than others. If everyone has the same opportunities, everyones has the same responsibilities. Yet, some people will not do anything to better their lives or simply live beyond their limits (I.e., see the Americal governmment or the male teen that doesn't work and play video games 24-7). Accept it that is their wish and their right.
My sample of one middle class hsuband of a Brazilian graduate civil servatnt may not be very typical but:
My wife works in a HR department where there are 18 women and 2 men. Her daughter has just qualified as a vet and at the graduation ceremony there were 2 men and 30 women. I have used 3 dentists in Brazil and they were all women. Around half of the doctors I have dealt with are women. The middle classes jobs seem to be very well shared by women.
I am not so sure about the lower paid work. Most people I know have a maid, 100% female. Taxi drivers, bus drivers, chauffeurs, truck and van drivers are almost invariably men. I have never seen a woman on a building site (apart from the occasional saleswoman, surveyor or engineer), do not see many waitresses (but women do clear tables). Almost all cashiers are women, almost all apartment block porters are men.
It was a very flawed article that seemed to start with a conclusion then blunder around trying to back it up.
Does The Economist really believes that men are mediocre and corrupt whereas women are well qualified and honest? This statement shows a lack of information not only about Brazil, but about humanity. Women on brazilian politic, as well as on public services, are as dishonest as men - honesty is not a sex question. There's no surprise about that, there's? The author of this article, for instance, seems be not very competent although is probably a woman.
Putting "often woman where men were before" would be considered sexual discrimination, but brazilian president choice wasn't about that, neither about honesty or even about competence. It's about "compadrio" (she hired friends, not by case most of them women) and the brasilian atavistic confusion between public an private belongs.
"An anti-corruption drive, predictably described by the media as "housecleaning", has seen her sack many of the mediocre men she inherited, and raise the share of women in her cabinet above a quarter. She is slowly replacing the politicians running state-controlled businesses with better-qualified people—again, often women where men were before."
The war of the sexes, just like racism, class division and other notions of how to devide the modern Western societies should have ended back in the 80's but, no, the marxist keep bringing it up over and over in a desperate attempt apply the weary but short term effective strategy to destroy and dominate. Although to dominate is often impossible, to destroy is easy and that's what the marxist, the feminist and society as a whole have done to men. Most kids now grow to be useless infants and dependents of women. Being male, at best, turned into receive sexual favors from women (or other men sometimes) and not much else worth mentioning. To destroy is easy, now I want to see it how people will fix this broken and devided society.
You don't know what you're talking about. To start with Brazil never had a powerful feminist movement. The Brazilian female working culture wasn't created by educated white rich feminists, but by plain necessity. The single motherhood and male unemployment rates among the poor and working classes, who until recently were the majority in Brazil, have always been very high, so women had to work to provide for their families. Even when the father was present and employed, his salary was so low that women had to work and help financially. Even in middle class families, women are expected to work to improve the kids future opportunities.
You should blame poverty and male unreliability and stop using feminists as scapegoats. Also, giving women and blacks equal rights and opportunities is not dividing and destroying, the only thing that's being destroyed is white men supremacy and dominance, which is why you're so bitter. At least you should stop the hipocrisy and stop disguising your desire for supremacy and dominance as preoccupation with society, you are only thinking about yourself. How is helping a battered and abused woman to earn a living "dividing and destroying"? So you think that she should endure violence and abuse for the sake of the family and society? It was the violent father who destroyed this family, not the mother or "feminist ideas". The Brazilian society has never been more fair, stronger and united, racism and sexism are what divide a society, your twisted idea of unity and harmony is women and Black's subordination and subjugation to "white" men. You are just bitter because the age of dominance, exploration and no competition is over. Now you'll have to show real talent, capability and respect to succeed, your gender and race alone won't guarantee special privileges anymore, that's why many white male losers are so afraid and bitter.
As an American woman who lived, studied and worked in Sao Paulo, I gotta say that Western media has always been unfair to South America when it comes to sexism. To start with, in my opinion, Latin "machismo" is a slightly different thing from virulent sexism and misogyny. Brazilian men indeed have a "macho" complex, they work hard to show qualities that are associated to the ideal men: physical strength, bravery, breadwinning abilities, etc. But few nurture a strong belief that women are intellectually inferior or less competent than men, or that women shouldn't aim for a high education or a successful career. I've met many men with the "I'm macho" attitude, who admired my work, supported their partner's careers or enthusiastically cheered for their daughter's success.
Indeed, due to economic circumstances, Brazil developed a culture of working women, at least in the southern parts of the country. In this sense Republicans in the South of the US are much more sexist than Brazilians. In Brazil, since the 90's there were a big proportion of female judges, lawyers, doctors and professors. I remember going to a trial in which the judge, the defense lawyer and the prosecutor were women, and Rousseff's presidential campaign was much more smooth and less controversial than Hillary's.
There's ,however, very sexualized culture and Brazilian men hit on women a lot. Sometimes I'd go to restaurants and waiters would ask for my phone number, male co-workers would get very cozy during happy-hours, etc. Annoying but not offensive, at least for me.
Now I'm living in Japan, which is indeed a patriarchal society. I miss Brazil and if it wasn't for crime and violence, I'd happily make that country my home.
Good point. In Latin America, men are expected to have very macho traits while woman are expected to be very feminine. The good thing is that we don´t have the "who´s better ?" attitude that I´ve seen in the US. We don´t see it as a competition...
But maybe that´s just a residue of a time when each gender had a very specific assigned role, and there was no need to compete...
Thanks for your comment - I thimk it captures well the mindset of Brazilian men. We want to be the best men we can be, but never diminishing women in any way. In fact, most men I know would be deeply distressed if women in their life were discriminated in any way, and are very proud of their successes (as I am of my wife's).
It is, as you pointed out, a very sexualized culture by American standards, but even that can be healthy. You may not have noticed, but women are nearly as aggressive as men, and offices are full of happy couples unhindered by the "office romance stigma" I've seen in the U.S. Occasionally, an idiot do something offensive, but generally male peer pressure (not to be crass) keeps us all in line.
I lived for ten years in Brazil and most men had a very positive attitude toward women. As you say, Brazil is a sexy country but not sexist. This program to train as faveladas is very similar to one organized by a wonderful mayor of Sao Paulo back in the sixties. I forget his name, but will never forget his greatness. Of course the program was for both men and women in the favelas, which is the way things should be.
I think this has more to do with the pragmatic nature of the Brazilian culture. For example, the independence process in Brazil was quite peaceful, whereas in the U.S. and Spanish America it was an enormous bloodshed; although the Brazilian military dictatorship was murderous, compared to the Argentinean and Chilean, it was indeed more "mild" (hope no torture victim read this)as was the resistance to the regime; although racism existed and still exist in Brazil, it has always been more subtle and mild than the virulent and paranoic thing we've had in the U.S.,there aren't many pure blacks at the top in Brazil, but the intermarriage rate is very high, and many people in the top have some non-white genes.
The same goes with gender relations, in the same way that this pragmatism stopped the feminist movement from gaining strength, it made men more accepting of the working women.
I have never been to Brazil, so offer no special insight on the country. But I do take note of its recent transition from a struggling third-world economy to an emergent economy. That transition may well explain the rise in the status of Brazilian women, which is the theme of the article. It only shows the importance of continued economic growth as a way to dissolve these archaic obstacles.
Some of your other points require more study. Could the rapid promotion of women into high positions within the Brazilian bureaucracy be an astute policy antidote to corruption? You would be more surprised to find a woman convicted of serious fraud or grand larceny than a man, wouldn't you? Women's motivations differ from those of men and as one admirable US author, Irma Kurtz, put it, in business, women's capacity for satisfaction is less than men's, while her potential for regret is bigger.(if I quote accurately) [I am not writing a political essay but a brief comment, drawing on a lifetime of observations to conclude that men and women are different, at some important level.]
It´s good news that abused woman have an option to staying with abusive partners. But...
Are the "single,high income woman" really happy ? Is the "sex and the city" culture making everyone better off ?
I know independent woman who would trade their independence and "freedom" for a good marriage.
A sexist article full of hatred against males.
Another feminist manifesto from the Economist series.
Is someone thsould write such an article inverting "male" with "female" would be fired for heavy discriminating behavior.
In Brazil as elsewhere women and youngsters are the promise of new world order with much more justice and less corruption than before and now. In the brazilian case after many centuries of men domination and wrongdoings it's now women time of putting things on the rail and building a less unequal nation with their natural attitude to life. Welcome to the women and a warning to the men:starting learning cooking and house keeping 'cause it must be needed soon.
Willing to see women to do risky jobs and die for their men....looking forward to see this more just world...
From your words I see only anger agaist those men that build the preconditions for emancipaton of women....
The article concluded that Brazilian Men's employment has reached its highest peak, therefore there is no widespread disdainment happening with the two sexes. From the article is it easy to prognosticate that when men salaries decline or job loss occurs, then women will be forced to step down from their working roles.
20 years working in Brazil and I have never witnessed even a whiff of gender discrimination - your gratuitous mention of Brazilian machsmo is empty. There's a couple of other areas where you also drop the ball:
1)"Big rises in the minimum wage...mean the gap between the pay of poorly educated women and... male peers has started to shrink." How could possibly conclude that when the minimum wage is not gender specific? It just sounds like an attempt to promote the concept of minimum wage
2) "At the same time, more Brazilian women are well-qualified than ever before. Girls are staying at school longer than boys, and three-fifths of recent university graduates are women." All true, but, unfortunately, too many of them are studying pedagogia (education), letras (roughly: Brazilian Lit)and ciencias sociais (sociology and the like). All of these lead to low paying jobs. They can only hope to close the wage gap when they go for high-paying fields like Engineering, (Hard) Sciences, Business and Law.
Well, you are right, but the number of women in Business and Law colleges has certainly increased a lot. In the faculty where I studied (UFC in Ceará), I'm pretty sure almost 50% of all the students are women. :-)
Yup. Same thing for my school, and for most business and medical schools I know of. Engineering graduates are handsomely paid, but I don't see a degree in physics or biology leading you automatically to a huge paycheck (not in Brazil or anywhere).
And the article is on the lower end of the spectrum - where discrimination is still a big deal. On the higher end, which is what you refer to, I believe you have currently more women passing the state exam and becoming judges and prosecutors than men. Higher courts are still pretty much male-dominated, especially because the white middle-aged men there can pretty much choose their own successors. But this should change dramatically over the next few years.
On the absence of machismo, I just think the Brazilian machismo - like Brazilian racism - is a bit more subtle then elsewhere. It's like everyone likes females and blacks, no one would ever discriminate, but all you see in company boards, high courts and investors' meetings are white men. This, again, is hopefully changing as we speak. But I know quite a few men, including well-educated young men, who after a few drinks will admit to thinking women should only have part-time work, the kind they can have while still dedicating time to their families (while their husbands are seeing prostitutes with their male clients).
Not a whiff of gender discrimination you say? Maybe you need to make more female friends AK. Several of my previous girlfriends and other girl friends have told me horror stories of unappropriate sexual contact or conduct in their work place.
In two instances where sexual favours were suggested as a way to advance their careers.
The old-school way of thinking and macho mindset is still very much alive in my opinion. It's changing, but a ways to go yet.
I mean just look at attitudes in public, the way men oggle women, cat call and toot their horns when passing in a car. That kind of carry on vanished years ago in many developed countries (well, at least where I was raised).
Where from you got such statistics? As one can notice brazilian women are majority in the medical schools and growing fast in engineering and other science schools as well. One can also notice that day by day lots of women engineers, doctors etc are coming fast and increasing in the market.
Agree with your comment.
"It's changing, but a ways to go yet."
This change is mainly promoted mainly by some women attitudes against those old men prejudices. As their - women- education and social status level increases those prejudicious men are naturally forced to review their out of fashion behaviors. That's why I fully believe those lot of hard working and well educated (I mean education with "E" which includes moral education that unfortunately our schools still don't teach but they get from their family and their behavior) women represent a good way to our nation transformation.
The proportion of women in law, economics, business, medicine and dentistry is very high, I'd even guess it's higher than 50%.
I'm not sure which part of Brazil you're exposed to. Brazil is big and very diversified: it is quite possible that sexual harassment is rife in your circles.
Not so in mine. It is not tolerated at all (there are courses, annual refresshers, and a very punishing competitive environment). The very few cases I've known about have led to terminations and reparations (and I am in position to know).
That said, I'd like to point out that sexaual harassment is not the kind of discrimination I was talking about.

You are right about dentistry, and medicine is getting pretty close. But law, economics and business still have majority male students. And engineering - the highest paid career path - is still a fundamentally male career (as much as education and letras - which I'd mentioned - remain fundamentally female pursuits).
Some of you asked how I know that. There's no mystery: the Education Ministry publishes surveys with that information from time to time. On a more personal level, I've been recruiting people for entry level (but highly paid) positions for the past 20 years. The proportion of females with the proper credentials has increase substantially over the yeras, but still has ways to go.
"And engineering - the highest paid career path -"
If this is what the Ministry of Education says, it sounds very distorted from what I see around. I know many more well off physicians than engineers, even civil engineers that are now in high demand.
LOL! I thought the highest paid career path was politician...or a copy machine operator in the public sector.
Now thats just great news.Females taking over blue color jobs what men are supposed to do roller over and die?Something must be done about this all front assault on males dignity.
So to maintain our dignity, getting a job should be made easy for us by removing the competition? That's very dignified. You've just classified all us men as useless and unable to stand up to the challenge. Do me a favour and never apply for a job at my company...
if it is fare competition....is it fare?
Yes it's fair. There are not quotas in Brazil. Companies are free to hire whoever they want, political parties are free to chose their candidates and schools and public companies select based on test scores. This makes Brazil even more laudable, it's all about the rules of supply and demand and the invisible hand. And I don't think this decrease the "dignity" of men at all, much on the contrary, it shows a society in which men are sure of themselves. Prejudice and discrimination=fear and ignorance.
You cant compete with a female.If you boss happens to be straight horny dog.Many tried many failed.And yeah I believe severely restricting women choice of available to them jobs would boost the economy up to pre 1930 levels of growth. Mad unsustainable population explosion,all kinds of genocidal holocausts world wars they all started to occur after females got to vote.I dont think thats a coincidence at all.
Conventional wisdom says women have fewer children when they have more opportunities to work and not the other way around.
I think you're playing with words Cinclus, and also that there are a more factors at play than in your comment.
The trend toward city living and work, and away from rural work, where children were the labour force, is one major reason for fewer children.
Access to education, and a mindset change that education is good for women as well, is another.
Contraception is probably another, as is cost of living. Heck, TV might even be one!
Families are getting smaller all around the world, and in many countries where women's rights and their acceptance in the work place has been around for years.

WANTED: Rooted Cuttings. Any Variety
I spent a small fortune on small UNROOTED cuttings, assured they would root and grow and I would be so happy. Well they are now dead, all the 'nubbies' that came out in the water, I put them in sterile fast draining soil, and they all have died now. I go through this when ever I try to get Brugs. to grow from cuttings. I need rooted cuttings.
I am not looking for named exotic varieties, all I want is simple Versicolor, white, anything that lives. All my Versicolors have died over the past 2 years in this yard, and now I have inherited this yard/ house that I grew up in, the yard is barren, but its now mine.
I need to get some big plants in it, and flowers and make gardens again, make it look like a home again, not a deserted mess. People must think it is an empty meth lab house. I am embarrassed to say it is mine.
I had it covered in brugs. and bird or paradises and banana trees, and grass. Now it is practically devoid of life, except weeds. Other matters were more important for the past year, but they have now passed on. So now I have to bring MY yard/house back to life.
Does anyone have any ROOTED cuttings of any varieties that they would be willing to 'donate' to my trying to make my yard a blooming yard again? I have nothing to trade, only greenbacks,( I don't know what word gets a posting deleted, thus 'donate' and greenbacks'). I am in need of some life around this house. I lost my parents fights, and now I have an empty house and a yard that makes me cry.
Probate is such fun, as I am sure many people know and have been through themselves ! The seller I got those cuttings from doesn't care, and wont replace them. Rooted Brug. cuttings on EBay are SO expensive, as you know and as I found out. And I cant find any Brug. plants locally.
So at this point I have nothing to loose by begging for ROOTED cuttings of any type of Brug. so I am doing it. There must be some fellow gardeners that have ROOTED cuttings that they don't need and would be willing to 'donate' or trade for a few greenbacks, and not leave me in a bigger financial hole? Anyone?
I was always told if you don't ask, you don't get an answer, so I am asking. I need to get life back in this yard, and Brugs. fill up a lot of space fast, and look spectacular in bloom. Not much $$$ left with probate still going on, and I cant try unrooted cuttings again. I burned that money. So I am asking my fellow gardeners, maybe someone has some rooted cuttings they can let go of, or 'want to get rid of'. It would be greatly appreciated. I can grow them, I just cant get them started. This yard needs life in it. Can anyone help?
I just started with brugs year b-4 last . I just place cuttings in a bucket of clean water and at least 90% or better root. I keep them in the laundry room , cool & dark . When I pot them up they need lots of water to transition from water to soil. I've never shipped any- wouldn't know how. But otherwise I'd be glad to help

Ball Don't Lie
New nickname alert: How Kings rookie Nik Stauskas became 'Sauce Castillo'Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie1 hr ago
On Tuesday night, away from the prying eyes of most of the NBA world — which is to say, during the broadcast of the matchup between the lottery-bound Sacramento Kings and Philadelphia 76ers — something beautiful happened. Luckily for us, Sixers fan/SPIN contributor Andrew Unterberger was there to witness it and relay it to the rest of us:
[DraftKings: FREE entry to huge cash Fantasy Basketball Contest with first deposit]
My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again
Deadspin went back and pulled the closed-captioned footage from Tuesday night, and sure enough, the Kings were on that Sauce:
Being a right-minded individual, I instantly loved the idea of calling Nik Stauskas "Sauce Castillo."
Timofey Mozgov, backward jersey and all, is a natural commercial pitchmanDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie2 hrs ago
To be honest, I don't even know why a Cleveland-area business would try to get LeBron James, Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love to appear in its commercials. I mean, Timofey Mozgov is sitting right there , and he is so good at it , especially when "it" includes swatting a plate of food to the ground:
The full run of the Cleveland Cavaliers' hulking Russian center's dialogue in this ad for The Brew Garden:
Now, granted, there are a couple of less-than-smooth elements of this production — Mozzy's eyes darting off-camera, presumably to revisit the cue cards, and, of course, the fact that he has to wear his jersey backward so that people know A) he is a basketball player on the local basketball team and B) which player he is — but generally speaking, I think we can agree that this [swats plate of food to the ground] is a slam dunk of a local commercial.
Tim Duncan wins $100 bet by making rare 3 in Spurs' win over ThunderDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie3 hrs ago
Tim Duncan's been an awful lot of things in his illustrious 18-year career — an NBA champion (five times), an All-Star (15 times), the league's Most Valuable Player (two times), the NBA Finals' Most Valuable Player (three times), an All-NBA selection (14 times, including 10 first-team nods), an All-Defensive Team pick (14 times, eight first-team choices) and so much more. One thing he's never been, though, is a floor spacer. Heading into Wednesday's action, the "Big Fundamental" had attempted just 199 3-pointers in 1,553 combined regular-season and postseason games, making 34 of them.

Rockets outlast Pelicans in Dwight Howard's slight return to actionEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie15 hrs ago
The Houston Rockets made it very clear that Dwight Howard's return to the court in Wednesday's visit to the New Orleans Pelicans would not find the eight-time All-Star pushing the limits of the sore right knee that had kept him out since January 23. Based on that expectation, Howard's first game back was a success, even if it provided few opportunities to judge his current level of play.
[DraftKings: FREE entry to huge cash Fantasy Basketball Contest with first deposit]
Howard started and played his as-expected 16 minutes in the Rockets' 95-93 victory over the Pelicans, logging four points (2-of-3 FG), seven rebounds (all defensive), two assists, a block, and four fouls in a clearly secondary role. The mere fact that he played in a real NBA game is good news for the Rockets as they jockey for seeding and prepare for the playoffs, but this game also served as a reminder that Howard is not at his typical star level and may not be at any point again this season.

Pamplona status: The Toronto Raptors held an 11-point lead midway through the third quarter but spit the bit down the stretch, getting absolutely overwhelmed in the fourth by a Chicago Bulls club led by a somewhat unlikely lineup.
As of Tuesday, the five-man unit of Pau Gasol, Nikola Mirotic, Jimmy Butler, Tony Snell and Aaron Brooks had shared the court for all of nine minutes this season, outscoring opponents by a total of two points. That group closed out the Raptors on Wednesday, topping Toronto by a whopping 13 points over the final five minutes and change, finishing off a fourth quarter in which the Bulls got whatever they wanted against the Raptors' hapless defense.
George Hill's winning lay-up snaps Pacers' 6-game losing streakEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie17 hrs ago
The fight for the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference has been one of the tightest races in the NBA this season, with positions changing seemingly every day as several teams attempt to become humongous underdogs to the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening round of the postseason. A strong second half has allowed the Indiana Pacers to become one of those squads, although a three-game losing streak had sent them from a potential upset pick to a team just trying to claw its way back into the top eight in the standings. The Pacers entered Wednesday night's road game against the Washington Wizards — themselves in the midst of a four-game losing streak — needing a win to keep up with the competition.

Nothing says love quite like Tony Allen singing 'Whoomp! (There It Is)'Ben Rohrbach at Ball Don't Lie23 hrs ago
Joi Pescatelli & Duane Stewart get engaged at Tony Allen Karaoke Night pic.twitter.com/X4pJjBgvP9
It is, I assume, every Memphis couple's dream to be serenaded by The Grindfather at their engagement.
For Duane Stewart and Joi Pescatelli, that fantasy became reality on Tuesday night, when the former proposed to the latter at Grizzlies defender extraordinaire Tony Allen's charity karaoke event to benefit JIFF, Inc. — a local non-profit organization that provides intervention services for troubled youths.
While one karaoke competitor submitted the worst rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" you'll ever hear, Allen made up for it with the only song everybody can universally agree captures what it feels like to be a young couple in love — Tag Team's 1993 classic "Whoomp! (There It Is)."
Dwight Howard is set to return to the Rockets, but he won't solve all Houston's woesKelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie1 day ago
The Houston Rockets, as it is with just about every single NBA team of record, are full of comings and goings. Thanks a lot, injuries.
[DraftKings: FREE entry to huge cash Fantasy Basketball Contest with first deposit]
The team confirmed on Wednesday morning that star center Dwight Howard would indeed be returning on Wednesday night, as the Rockets gear up for their playoff push:
McHale confirms: Dwight Howard will return tonight in New Orleans. He will start and be on a minutes restriction. pic.twitter.com/ccwTpDtpNV
The minutes restriction has not been set, but Dwight has a solid guess:
McHale said he would keep Dwight Howard on a minutes restriction tonight. Howard thought he might play around 16 minutes in his return.
If anyone has a solid guess as to what happens to the Houston Rockets from here on out, with 12 games to go in the regular season, go right ahead and shout it out.

Legoland California
When you come to LEGOLAND California Resort, you'll have a smile on your face all day long! Part of the reason is the park's clever concept: the theme park is based entirely on the beloved LEGO toys that have delighted children for generations. The rides look exactly like they were built out of gigantic LEGO bricks. Another reason for the smile on your face is the sound of laughter that fills your ears as you watch children and families having a fantastic time together.
And another reason to smile? The LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star opens March 5, 2015. It spans 6-feet across and offers guests the chance to view iconic film scenes made of Lego bricks! LEGOLAND is a hands-on entertainment experience geared towards children 11 and younger but it brings out the child in all guests, whether they're 9 or 90. Public transit route 373.

– King Abdullah's words on Jordanian State Television
The war against ISIS…or Daesh as the Arab's call them…has been going on for some months now but Abdullah dared to speak these words only after the muslim world joined the rest of the world in gasping in horror as ISIS' burned alive captured Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh. And Abdullah's's military pledging to go after ISIS only came after Obama leaked to the press that he would probably seek Congressional authorization for an upgrade in military force against ISIS.
And contrary to the photos being released, Jordan's King Abdullah II did not take part in the airstrikes against ISIS as witnessed by this official statement issued by his office…"The king is NOT taking part in strikes on #ISIS, reports were inaccurate." Inaccurate is an understatement as this king…this Muslim Brotherhood supporting king…is all about photo-ops just like his buddy Obama…and to release photos such as this…to have people think that he, Abdullah, is a hero while Jordanians grieve for their lost pilot and actually blame the palace for not doing enough to secure al-Kaseasbeh's release…is a stunt right out of the Obama playbook….as in Obama's insistent bloviations that, "I got bin-Laden."

We have two young children and spent the extra money for the two bedroom suite. It was nice having the extra room. The two bedroom suites are good if you have a child that needs to nap and also gives you an extra bathroom.
The breakfast was average. Location was convenient for Coral Gables, downtown Miami, and South Beach. Getting in and out was a little strange with the u-turn and not being able to get there right off of the exit.
Seemed to be a fairly new hotel in great condition. Would recommend it for the space available in the suites.

That would be SWEEEEEET! I fell into some Lino a couple of years back. Traded some brass and bought some for $1.75/lb. I wish I could have bought a few hundred more pounds.
I just picked up about 100# of wheel weights from a local tire shop for $40. I would like to have about 500 more pounds.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
be careful most of the weights nowadays are steel. the lead ones are often contaminated with gods know what from china as thats where wheel weight metal comes from in most cases. be careful smelting it down.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
Many of the new wheel weights are a zinc alloy. I have come to recognize them by sight, but they are not a problem. I keep my pot turned down enough so the zinc weights will not melt. They simply float to the top and get skimmed off with the steel clips.
I segregate the stick on weights (pure lead) from the clip on weights (Lead-Antimony alloy) so I get two different batches of ingots. Each are marked with a sharpie so I can blend them accordingly for casting.
I do not use a thermometer, I judge by when the lead weights melt thoroughly. My thermostat is messed up on both my furnaces anyway.
Virgin lead will melt at a slightly higher temp than Lead/Antimony or Lead/Antimony/Tin alloy.
I was just sorting through the batch I got yesterday and noticed the "suspect" weights were mostly marked "fe". Of course I presumed this to mean they were "ferrous" or contained iron. Sure enough, they were attracted to a magnet. They got segregated right off. I will pay attention tomorrow when I melt/flux for other signs. I believe the zinc weights are marked "zn". I will confirm.
I cast many thousands of 240 grain .44s ands 168 gr .357 from straight lino for max loads in my magnums.
Sure miss readily available linotype.
when i get 5 gallon buckets of ww from the locate tire stores, it will have a good bit of steel and zinc mixed in, but about 3/4 of the bucket will still be lead. the steel and zinc ones never make it into my smelting pot since i go thru them all. I'm planning to pick up some 50/50 (lead,tin) solder and make my own lyman #2
casting your own is always going to be cheaper than buying them pre-made since your not paying for the labour and markup on the raw materials.

WESTPORT, Conn. – A total of seven Westport homes in the Compo Mill Cove and Saugatuck Shores neighborhoods have been declared "destroyed" by Hurricane Sandy, Westport Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director Andrew Kingsbury said.
"These homes are inhabitable," Kingsbury said Thursday. "Some will most likely have to be torn down or substantially rebuilt."
In addition to these homes, 260 homes were flooded during the storm and 25 homes were damaged by fallen trees, a message on the town website said.
Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, known as FEMA, visited Westport Wednesday to tour storm damage. FEMA representatives are expected to return to perform damage assessments on individual homes and businesses.
No cost estimates on storm damage were available.
If your home was damaged during the storm, you may qualify for disaster aid. You can apply for assistance online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov; by calling 1-800-621-3362 (the TTY number is 1-800-462-7585); or from your smartphone or tablet at m.fema.gov. The phone lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
When applying for aid, have the following information available:
▪ Current telephone number and address
▪ Address and ZIP code of damaged property
▪ Social Security number
▪ A general list of damages and losses
▪ If insured, the name of insurance company, agent and policy number
▪ Bank routing number (if you want your disaster assistance deposited directly into your account)
If you have additional questions or who would like to speak to someone in person, you can visit a FEMA Mobile Disaster Recovery Center. The closest recovery center is located at the Fairfield Senior Center,100 Mona Terrace. The center will be open from noon to 8 p.m. Monday and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

I'm working on creating a 30 day free trial of my Air app.
When the 30 day trial begins the current date is stored in the local encrypted database. Then the date is checked against the current date if the difference is 30 days or more the application denies access and the users is prompted to purchase a license.
It seemed I had have everything working fine but I just ran into a problem.
I changed the date on my machine which made my Air app think this was the current date, allowing the 30 day trail to still be active.
I'm wondering what the workaround might be to fix this? Is it possible for Air to get the current date not based on the computers set date?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The abuse has started, protect yourself
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I met a guy -- everything I ever wanted. He treated me like a princess, doting on me. We went out a lot, and had a great time. I kind of started to miss my friends. One night I told him I was going to go to my friend's house. He looked so sad, and said he had something "special" planned. I cancelled on my friend. This happened a few more times.
One day I stayed home from work because I had strep throat and an ear infection. I saw he had called, but was feeling so sick I just let the calls go to voice mail. He called nine times within a few hours! The messages went from concerned to impatient and then angry. By the last one he was yelling into the phone and accusing me of cheating and calling me names, because I wasn't picking up.
I was able to talk to him a little later, and he said he was really sorry, and that he loves me so much and was scared he could lose me. I've never ever given him reason to think I'd leave him. He's wonderful to me. Was his reaction normal? -- Confused by his Love
Dear Confused: This is already mental abuse. It's also the way physical abuse often starts -- with constant attention, demanding your time, isolating you from friends and relatives. Unanswered phone calls go from concern to crazy, quickly. Then you get the big apologies!
New fights go from pushing to slapping, punching, kicking and full-scale beatings, death threats, and sometimes murder. The abuser's mindset is, "If I can't have you no one's going to have you." It's scary to know you are on this path. In early stages, you can get rid of a guy like this by boring him to death, becoming non-sexual and no fun to be with. But, if that isn't working, get coaching from crisis lines (like Osborne House 204-942-3052), and don't be afraid to call 911 for police help, or seek the necessary court orders. Sometimes people actually have to go into hiding and/or move province.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: For the couple thinking of planning a surprise wedding during their social, I attended a Halloween wedding social years ago. Everyone was dressed up. When the couple arrived, they were dressed as a bride and groom and the guy who we all thought was dressed up as a priest, was actually a minister officiating the wedding just before their first dance. I have always thought that it was a great idea. -- Fun Alternative
Dear Fun: This is a great idea for a couple if they can include younger and older people at the party, or if they're from out of town and just know people their own age who would participate freely. Otherwise, they need to make a pointed effort to whisper to the family what's really up and that it's important to come to this wild 'n crazy "surprise" party on time, prepared for a real wedding.
Please send your questions or comments c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, R2X 3B6.

"Unique & Interesting"
A story that was melodic and was told in such a way that I felt I was at a fireplace & the author was reading it to me.
"Unbelievable story"
I was completely captivated and fell in love with the characters. This is the best book I have heard in years, I was so moved by it.
"Great Characters!!!"
I have never listened to/read a book by Lisa Gardner & this one was amazing!
I loved the characters she created. They were fascinating to me and they were thought out and complex. The book was not predictable & I throughly enjoyed it.
Beautiful Characters - unique point of view of narrator
Rudy protecting Lisel
His accent and passion and clear portrayal of different characters were fabulous.
No...it was not M.Connelly's best. Not mentally challenging.
Mickey Haller just moaned about "poor me". Didn't care about any of the characters.
Who cares.
Sure. He was good.

My swamp cooler gets temps down to about 64F - is this cold enough for California lager yeast ?
I brewed the California Common recipe from "Brewing Classic Styles". It recommends 62F fermentation, which seems to have worked very well.
Did you use a swamp cooler or thermostatically controlled chamber ?
Can I use my SC ?
I am using the Cal Lager yeast and using my swamp cooler and it is staying between 59-60 degrees.
primarys: Black Jesus IPA
Secondaries: Apple cider
Bottled; Mead
Kegged; Barrel aged Porter, Irish Red,
Dead Guy Clone
Munich Helles, Oatmeal Stout, !2% Russian Imperial Stout, Milk Chocolate Stout, Barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout, 12% Barley Wine(aging)
Up Next; Black IPA
What is your ambient temp ? Ive got 80F
One more question about Cal. lager - does it need to be lagered or can it follow more of an Ale schedule ?
Well isn't a proper steam beer supposed to be lager strains fermented at ale temperatures? We made an Oktoberfest steam last year using Marzen yeast and it was spectacular fermenting at 68*F.
Your set-up allowing you to hit 62 seems like it'll work out just fine. Good luck!
Thanks man !
I have made a number of steam beers. I have done it in the peak of summer, where my basement can reach as high as 70, and I have done it in the depths of winter where we hit 58-60 in my basement. Both have been almost identical. I could not have picked out a real difference to be honest.
I am sure someone could have noted a difference between the two side by side. But not me. It is one of my favorite beers to date. And I plan on brewing another ten during christmas vacation.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
-Henry David Thoreau
