Following the bestial sexual attack on a 23-year-old paramedical student in Delhi, the capital, along with other cities across the country, has seen numerous protests demanding justice not just for the survivor, but better laws and stringent action against sexual offenders per se. When on Wednesday 19 December students and protesters marched towards the Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's house, the police tried to ward them off with water cannons.
Kavita Krishnan, secretary, All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA), said why Sheila Dikshit and the political establishment are responsible for women's deplorable social status in India.
Today, we demonstrated outside (CM) Sheila Dikshit's house. Why are we demanding her resignation? We need people to understand why — it's true that Ms Dikshit made a statement saying the incident (gangrape) occurred on a private bus, not a DTC (Delhi Tourism Corporation) bus, so how could it be her responsibility. This is what we are here to tell her — if a bus containing iron rods and rapists is plying openly in the city with no rules and regulations, if it can pick up passengers at any time, anywhere — then madam, you are responsible for it, it is no one else's responsibility — it is yours. If that girl is fighting for her life today, you are responsible for it. Why was that iron rod in that bus that day — is something that only you can answer, no one else can. You cannot blame anyone else for it.
But there is a more pressing matter than even this — something that we have been talking about, that we are here to talk abut today – when that journalist Soumya (Vishwanathan) was murdered, Sheila Dikshit had issued another statement saying "If she (Soumya) was out at 3 am in the morning, she was being too adventurous," — we are here to tell her that women have every right to be adventurous. We will be adventurous. We will be reckless. We will be rash. We will do nothing for our safety. Don't you dare tell us how to dress, when to go out at night, in the day, or how to walk or how many escorts we need!

Old and busted: @Soledad_Obrien's "Black in America on @CNN"; The New Hotness: Our audience is "too ethnic" for some unknown reason—
The H2 (@TheH2) January 30, 2013
Oh, dear! As Twitchy reported, Soledad "Special Snowflake" O'Brien's show was nixed in a CNN revamp. But now comes further word as to why, aside from the pitiful ratings.
Talk about buried lead! MT RT: @JohnEkdahl: LOL, CNN execs thought Soledad's show was "too ethnic". mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/cnn…—

Huh. Did progressives of pallor strike again?
Has @soledad_obrien had someone read her the "too ethnic" entry on Wikipedia yet? #tooethnic—

Keep them coming, Twitter!
Update: CNN responded to MediaBistro's inquiry regarding the "too ethnic" remark:
We reached out to CNN for comment.
UPDATE: To clarify, Feder's issue with "Starting Point" was that the audience was too small and happened to be predominately African American. A source close to the show insists that the ethnicity of the audience was never the issue, it was the size. Feder in no way meant to imply that the audience was too ethnic.
Size matters. Also, it totally wasn't too ethnic. It just wasn't good enough ethnic. Luckily, the suggestions for CNN are continuing. Take note, CNN!

Water levels reached record highs at RiverPark after six days of non-stop rain.
Caution signs, park benches and the playground area were barely visible. Tony Reavley with Hamilton County EMS said some of the areas within River Park reached around 12 inches.
"Here at the River Park this is probably the highest I've seen it in my 20 years," says Reavley.
Emergency crews were called to remove parked vehicles that began to drift, along with two boat ramps that needed heavy anchors to keep the current from pulling them away.
TVA officials are closely monitoring the river levels. Engineers released water through the turbines and spill blades connected to the Chickamauga Dam Monday afternoon. They believe this will reduce flooding within the next few days near the River Park.
"We were about 15 feet above normal at what we call flood stage. Around Chattanooga we are trying to maintain that level and not let it go up," Chuck Bach said.
Park rangers will check the walking trails first thing Tuesday morning and determine if the area is safe enough for the public to enter.
The area has seen 45 inches of rain so far in 2013. All we need is another nine inches to reach the average for an entire year.

SPOKANE, Wash. - The owners of a gas station in north Spokane want to know who crashed into their building Saturday night.
At around 10:30pm employees at the Chevron on Francis and Pittsburgh heard a loud crash outside. That loud crash was a car plowing into the side of their building. Surveillance video shows a white Pontiac Grand Am with two female occupants, late teens or early 20's, hit the side of the station and then pull out and drive away. The side of the building and the kitchen inside were significantly damaged.
Police are searching for the suspects. If you have any information you are asked to call crime check at 456-2233.

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

My gymnastics career has provided me with limitless
opportunities. I've experienced firsthand how commitment,
passion and drive can fuel success, and I want to
share these important lessons with others. I aim to
work one-on-one with gymnasts through camps, clinics,
and more to lead them to the next level of personal
fulfillment and achievement. Through speaking engagements
and personal appearances, I strive to share my story,
discuss life beyond gymnastics, and provide tips and
techniques for meeting challenges, battling adversity
and living a well-balanced life.
Dominique Moceanu Professional Services is committed
to delivering a first-rate experience. When you book
us for a camp, clinic, or event, you can always look
forward to style, class and inspiration!
You don't have to be a gymnast to
do gymnastics! Dominique and her
husband, Dr. Michael Canales, will pair up at
your facility for a team-taught fitness workshop
rooted in gymnastics principles. This seminar
is designed for anyone interested in improving
flexibility, strength and overall conditioning.
a combined 50 years in gymnastics, Dominique
and I have had the privilege of learning from
and working with the greatest minds and bodies
in sports. Our experience isn't just focused
on helping other athletes. We've used these
techniques ourselves to improve our own fitness
and as diligent parents of two active children
our physical condition is paramount in keeping
up with all our lives dish out!"
---Dr. Michael B. Canales
all dream of staying fit. Mike and I are no
exception. As parents we want to pass along
the importance of physical exercise to our children
and instill a lifelong love of physical activity.
The best way to do this is to lead by example.
I fully believe that everyone can get in a 20
minute workout and adhere to it with even the
busiest of schedules."

Newburyport Daily News
---- — There has been much handwringing over Congress' failure last week to prevent the interest rate from doubling on Stafford college loans.
"Shame! Shame!" cry those who see Washington as the answer to all our ills and who cannot fathom why the great and all powerful Congress failed to "act" to prevent this catastrophe.
Well, OK. Maybe Congress should have pressed the "Pause" button on interest rates until it figured out what to do about soaring college costs. It had multiple opportunities to do so.
But the reality is that Washington got us into this mess to begin with. And Washington is much more likely to make things worse than to get us out of the mess.
Congress has only two gears: Do something, anything, even if it's the wrong thing. Or do nothing, which is what it did last week.
The interest rate on the Stafford loans was due to rise automatically from 3.4 to 6.8 percent on July 1 unless Congress voted to continue the lower rate. Congress didn't, and the rate rose on new Stafford loans. That will cost typical student borrowers an extra $2,600 in interest on their loans, according to one congressional committee's estimate.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and 6th District Congressman John Tierney, among others, say the solution, or part of it, is to lower the interest rate even more. Warren's proposal is to let students borrow at the same rate as banks do from the Federal Reserve on short-term loans -- less than 1 percent. There are several problems with that idea -- student don't have the collateral that banks do and their borrowing is long-term, for example.
But the real issue is that focusing on the interest rate ignores the root problem.
The real problem isn't the interest rate, it's that students are forced to borrow so much money because of the high cost of a college degree.
Higher education has become higher-and-higher education as tuition, fees and other costs have outstripped the rate of inflation by better than 2-1.
Congress has only fueled the fire by giving it more oxygen -- cheaper and more readily available loans and grants.
As more money becomes available, colleges raise prices to suck it up.
The average student carries a debt of almost $30,000 into the working world. Some owe six figures.
The collective debt has become a colossal drag on the economy and on the lives of young people. Many can't afford cars or homes. Disposable income? Sorry, I owe my soul to the college store.
So what can be done?
Pressure must be brought to bear on "Big Education" to drive down prices and, thus, student debt.
One way to do that, suggests Glenn Reynolds, author of "The Higher Education Bubble," University of Tennessee law professor and influential blogger at "Instapundit," is to make colleges partly responsible when their graduates can't repay their loans because they haven't been equipped to find decent jobs.
"I would favor allowing students who can't pay to discharge their loan balances in bankruptcy after a reasonable time — say, five to seven years, maybe even 10 — with the institutions that got the money being liable to the guarantors (i.e., the taxpayers) for, say, 10% or 20% of the balance," Reynolds wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column that also made the point that it's not so much the interest it's "the principal of the thing."
We like the idea.
Ultimately, however, students and parents can bring even more pressure to bear on colleges by asking critical questions before incurring debt that will follow the students long into adulthood.
Is a degree from this school really worth $40,000 or $50,000 a year? Can it get me a job that will pay enough to repay the loan?
The questioning has already begun.
More students are choosing community college, online education or other options that will open a path toward a debt-free life and a career that will support themselves and a family.
Those decisions will ultimately force colleges to examine their costs and take steps to restrain or even cut those costs.
In the end, market forces will decide what is the right price point for a college degree, as long as Congress gets out of the way.
In the meantime, students and parents weighing the value of a degree against its cost should heed that ancient market principal,"Caveat emptor."
Let the buyer beware.

I think the reason I enjoy Slipknot is the same as why I always look at the five car pile-up accident on the freeway. For some reason, they have the same entertainment value for me. They wear fright masks and wield their instruments like chainsaws, and I can't NOT look.
Their new live album is a good value for their fans. What it lacks in production value it makes up for in sheer energy. The percussion is about the best I have ever heard on a live album. The vocals, however, suffer due to the fact that Corey sounds like, …ummm… he is singing while wearing a MASK!
Gee, I wonder why the studio vocals don't sound that way? Hmmmm.

New opponent, no problem for Stefan Struve.
The Dutch fighter outclassed Lavar Johnson on the mat, catching him in an arm bar in gaining a first-round submission at UFC 146. The victory took just 65 seconds for Struve.
Johnson came out quickly with a barrage of power strikes that sent Struve backpedaling against the fence, but Struve covered up, pulled guard and quickly pivoted for the fight-ending arm bar.
"I felt his control and I knew I could get the arm bar if I jumped guard," he said.
It was Johnson's second fight in three weeks, having knocked out Pat Barry at May 5's UFC on FOX 3 event. He took the fight on short notice, replacing Mark Hunt.
Struve said he knew his best chance to win was to get the fight to the ground, and he was proven right.
"He's a heavy hitter so why give him any chance at all to win the fight," Struve said of his strategy.
It was Struve's third straight win, improving to 24-5.
Johnson fell to 17-6.

Tear Drop Head Light Buld ?
Is this the correct bulb (TS1133) for tear drop head lights. ? Thanks Johnny J
Re: Tear Drop Head Light Buld ?
Yes it is. The TS just means Tung-Sol, just like on the GE1133, the GE stands for General Electric.
Where you are, right now, is of absolutly no use unless you are able to get away from it, FAST!
Re: Tear Drop Head Light Buld ?
Yup. Thems the ones.
Curiosity .. what was the price point for those bullbs - individually and by the dozen?
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Tear Drop Head Light Buld ?
As far as I am aware I don't think that Tung-Sol even makes light bulbs anymore. I know that they still make vacuum tubes though, as I buy them for different equipment that I have. When it comes to buying light bulbs I usually shop for the on-line at Bulb Town. Here is a link for the 1133 bulb for the Cub:
As for the "sale" price that is listed in the link, that has been the price for over a year. These guys always have the bulbs that I can't seem to find anywhere else, and their prices are great. Whenever I order some bulbs for something else I usually tack-on extras for the antique cars, and now the Cub as well.
Where you are, right now, is of absolutly no use unless you are able to get away from it, FAST!

Master Performance Artist Kira Seamon grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii and was fortunate to have been immersed in the Asian cultures flourishing there. Endless opportunities to experience the sights, sounds and images of these cultures provided a rich store of knowledge about the customs unique to them. Using this background, Ms. Seamon created an original and very respectful dance performance tracing the subject of Chinese footbinding from its proposed origins in the Royal Court of China through to the abolition of the custom.
Now, for the first time, beautiful behind-the-scenes photos capture the making of this impressive dance performed at Mobius in Boston's historic South End! Mobius has produced hundreds of original works that have attained critical acclaim in Boston, nationally and internationally. Mobius has been recognized as one of the seminal, alternative, artist-run organizations in the US. (Mobius history found on Wikipedia)

As the NHL All-Star teams battled it out on ice, a lighting team enhanced the recent NHL All-Star Game with a large production. High End Systems' (HES) equipment played a role in the nationally televised broadcast from Philips Arena in Atlanta, specifically Showguns, Studio Color 575s, and a Wholehog 3 console.
HES sent its Los Angeles-based programmer/trainer Mike Hanson to assist LD David Agress and programmer Paul Turner. Agress had not yet experienced Showgun, while Turner had only recently undergone Wholehog 3 training at HES.
The Showguns were used to highlight the goals and to project logos. Says Agress, "The Showguns will be part of my big-show list from now on—really a wonderful light. They were the work horse and show horse of this year's NHL All Star Game."
Mainlight supplied the Showguns to production supplier Entertainment Design Group of Atlanta.

J. K. (Jo) Rowling was born in 1965 and moved house twice when she was growing up. The first move was from Yate (just outside Bristol) to Winterbourne. The second move was when Jo was nine and she moved to Tutshill near Chepstow in the Forest of Dean.
After school, Jo attended the University of Exeter in Devon where she studied French. Her parents hoped that by studying languages she would enjoy a great career as a bilingual secretary. But Jo recalls that she never paid much attention in meetings because she was too busy scribbling down ideas.

Stopped by today for a pint...
BB looks pretty interesting from the outside, consisting of a good size, two story red building with an outside deck area. Inside it's your pretty typical faux Irish pub, with lots of brick and wood all around. The place has a very informal, relaxed vibe, and it seemed like a nice place to hang with a beer or three.
With regard to the beer selection, my 3.5 score is proabably generous. BB has 12 craft beers on tap, which includes the usual slew of macros from great britain (guinness, bass, harp and smithwicks). Otherwise, they had a couple of beers from Geary and shipyard, a samuel adams seasonal, allagash white and the long trail IPA (which I ended up getting by default). They also had around 20 bottled beers as well, but it's not anything anyone would ever want to buy or drink (bmc swill, corona, heineken, etc.). There's also a local cider on tap and PBR. To say I was a bit underwhelmed by the selection here would be an understatement.
Service was OK. I didn't get the impression anyone had a whole lot of beer savvy (but then, given the selection, why would they need any), but everyone was friendly enough. Prices were decent, with my IPA going for $4.25. There was a band playing pretty much your typical Irish standards on this particular day, and there seemed to be a fair crowd enjoying the music (which is probably the only thing that would explain the modest crowd this Sunday afternoon).
I don't mean to sound snarky, but it's pretty hard for me to understand the attraction of BB. Faux Irish pubs are a dime a dozen these days (certainly there are plenty of them in Portland), and I saw nothing otherwise on tap or bottle to distinguish BB from any other faux Irish pub I've been to. Can't imagine any reason why I'd ever want to go here again.

3.34/5 rDev -12.1%
Been here twice now, once on a weeknight and another on a weekend evening. The beer selection is decent; some of your standard Irish selections, and then some Maine beers on tap. Some bottles that looked pretty good as well. Didn't try the food at either time.
The difference in atmosphere and service varied widely, however. The weeknight we were there was quite slow, of course, and the bartender was friendly and informative, and the place in general was warm and inviting. The Saturday evening, however, was PACKED with people and it was extremely noisy. I know this is normal, probably, for a Saturday, but it was a much younger crowd... every couple there looked like they were dressing to impress the other, and trying to shout louder than everyone else. Service was pretty inattentive and distracted, as well, but could have been because they were so busy.
Anyway, worth checking out... but try to hit it on a slower night.

Brian Boru is a pretty sweet little pub to hang out in on a random night but it gets even better when there is live music or some sort of event like Halloween or the like.
Decent beer selection, don't expect anything too crazy its pretty standard Maine fare like Geary's and Shipyard mixed in with some other decent stuff but nothing amazing and don't expect to find some hard to find Allagash offering.
Food is pretty standard pub fare but still good stuff especially for lunch on the weekends or a quick bite before a nearby Pirates game.
If you are looking for a generic "Oirish" pub in Portland you're better off going to Ri-Ra.

Stumbled onto this place after seeing a concert at Cumberland County Civic Center. Didn't want to try and get out of the madhouse parking situation, so decided to stroll around Portland and grab a drink or two.
We only had drinks since it was around 11-12 at night. The place was packed, which I imagine isn't difficult considering the small size. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, even though is was crowded, the crowd itself was pretty laid back and just having fun. Upstairs had a live band going on, which was where we stayed most of the time. The upstairs is pretty nifty with a balcony of sorts to look down on the entrance area.
There's a larger bar downstairs with the majority of the stuff on tap and a smaller bar upstairs with a limited selection. Because it was pretty popular, expect to be waiting in line to get a beer, especially if you're picky and don't want to get why they have on the limited bar upstairs.
I will caution that if you don't like smaller places (which also means places that are louder), this might not be for you. My girlfriend complained on the size and noise since it was difficult to sit back and talk when compared to some other traditional Irish pubs.

Brian Boru was part of our mini pub-crawl in Portlands Old Port area. It was easy to see this place from a good distance with its huge outside walls painted in bright red and showcasing a Guinness pelican.
During my experience on this particular Saturday night, the place was packed with people. We headed directly upstairs to check the band out. There was a pretty good band playing some funky/jam/ rock stuff. Most of the people were getting into the music, dancing and enjoying themselves. The atmosphere here creates a nice authentic Irish pub experience with various Celtic designs.
As far as the beer selection goes, my experience was pretty limited. My friend told me the selection downstairs is a tad better and more extensive. I think they have Allagash White on tap at the downstairs bar. There was around 10 taps upstairs and most of the beer was marco beer uninteresting stuff with the only exception possibly being Widmer Hefeweizen. Bottle selection is more of the same, but Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was a saving grace for me. You can obviously bank on a fresh pint of Guinness too.
I was glad we stopped by for a little bit. We had the chance to enjoy some good live music with no cover, which is a unique experience living in Boston. Id like to return again to try the food when things arent as busy on a weekend night.

Organization and proper planning will greatly strengthen your possibilities for success in the year ahead, and they will be the major reasons for you making such leaps and bounds in both your personal and work-related life.
Kenneth Grahame, a Scottish author who died in 1932, said, "The strongest human instinct is to impart information; the second strongest is to resist it."
DEAR DR. GOTT: I am 64 years old and in good health but take five medications. About two months ago, I got a cold and was given a Z-pack. It didn't help, so I was given Levaquin. Now I cannot smell or taste. How can I bring these senses back?
DEAR DR. GOTT: I have had a high cholesterol level for several years. As a 67-year-old female, I try to eat responsibly and really feel my condition is hereditary since my two sisters have the same problem. Whatever the cause, my doctor put me on Vytorin to help lower my levels. Is he on the right track, and should I go along with his recommendation, or is there something better out there to get my levels under control?
Noel Coward said, "My dear boy, forget about the motivation. Just say the lines and don't trip over the furniture."
In the year ahead, take advantage of all opportunities at hand to advance your interests, because they won't pass this way again. If you keep waiting for something better to come along, you'll never make any progress.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing larger goals in the year ahead, but make sure that they are based on realistic premises. Once that primary requirement is met, go all out for what you hope to accomplish.
Bridge deals range from near-impossible to simple, but we make some easy deals harder by not thinking straight.
DEAR DR. GOTT: You have written several times about Restless Legs Syndrome, but I feel you left out one very important thing. Were any of these people taking statin drugs?
DEAR DR. GOTT: I recently went on a trip that involved traveling 1,100 miles. During that time, I developed a blood clot in my right leg that moved into the bottom of both lungs. Because of this, I had several tests done. One was a CT scan, and, during this, they incidentally found what appeared to be a tumor on one of my kidneys. I was given the anticoagulant Coumadin to start immediately and told to check out the kidney problem when I got home.
It is normally correct to play toward an honor combination, but not always. How would you try to land nine tricks in no-trump on today's deal? West leads the diamond nine.
In the year ahead, be sure to increase your expertise in your chosen field of endeavor when you see what others are doing all around you. If you don't keep up, you could be left out of the fray.
You are destined to do some extraordinary things in the year ahead, and you may start to break down barriers that have held you back. Whatever you do, you'll display creative talents that others didn't know existed.
If you have one chance to make your contract, it is better than nothing. But it is even better if you have two chances to get home - as in this deal.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 50-year-old male. I recently had my gallbladder removed.

BREAKING: Obama discusses Rural and Working Class American in Charlie Rose interview
by minnesotaryan, Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 07:48:04 AM EDT
...in 2004.
Anyway, in this little snippet Obama gives a slightly more nuanced explanation of his thoughts on guns and the rural working class in America. "Bitter" certainly was a very very poor choice of a word (mostly because both Hillary and the Republicans are "clinging" to it as their only hope against his candidacy), but it's difficult to argue with his assessment of why the republican party has been able to compel so many voters to support candidates outside of their class interest.
This is by no means a comprehensive explanation of this theory(common to many besides Obama), but I thought it makes a lot of sense:

Oh and obviously this isn't breaking. I was just making fun of you (yes you).

Catrina's Story
15 / 06 / 2012 by George 0 Comments
Caught out by the benefit system, Catrina and her family of 5 are currently living on just £18 a week – a sum which is supposed to buy food for her 3 children, books for school and nappies for her youngest child, Jamie.
She is currently supported by Leicester Charity Link, who bought her children's school uniform and consequently produced this film to help raise further funds to support both her family and others in her position.
This film was debuted on 05/10/12 at The Phoenix Partners fundraising event, which raised over £1,800 for the cause.
Shot on a Sony EX1 + Shoot 35 Lens adaptor with a selection of Nikkor primes. Due to the severity of the Catrina's situation it would have been unfair to use her house to power my lighting setup, so the whole thing was shot with natural light.

I made this to show what's possible with a lot of care and bit of time. All shot with available light, over the course of a few hours.
A Day Off was featured on the Vimeo 'Staff Picks' Channel in early 2011, where it was displayed on the front page of Vimeo and soon began to spread across the net. It now has 60,000+ views and can be found on dozens of blogs, online galleries and social networks across the World.

#laptoptag is a project I created in collaboration with the New York based Vimeo staff. All you have to do to take part is simply record a 'video tag' of yourself opening your laptop which ends with you pushing the lid all the way back.
#laptoptag tag was promoted as a joint venture between Proof and our friends at Vimeo, where upon its official launch in February 2012 it began to go viral.
People soon submitted tags from far and wide, from countries including: the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Colombia, India, Singapore, D. Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ireland, Turkey, Ghana and many more.
#laptoptag was featured by Creative Review, Doobie Brain, Graphism.fr and can be seen on big screens in Manchester, Derby and Leicester city centres.

So this week didn't go exactly as I planned. I'm behind on my reading schedule and I haven't posted any reviews, I got a massive tension headache on Thursday and spent most of yesterday reading The Hunger Games instead of Lord of the Changing Winds. I think next week will be better, though!
Lord of the Changing Winds is very different from what I thought it'd be like (though there ARE mages and griffins, so HA). It's scarier! Not in a horror way, I mean, but in that way where a human character interacts with non-human characters and the non-human characters are VERY non-human and that's scary. I never really thought about griffins before this book, but now I think they might haunt my dreams (nightmares?) a lot more than they did before.

What do I think? I think women in Africa are doing a pretty badass job of organizing against genital mutilation and probably do not need a lot of paternalistic bullshit from the daughters of the people who looted their continent, and I think "worldwide subjugation of women" is a problematic sort of code for ISLAM IS COMING FOR OUR WOMEN when the religious terrorists I am actually concerned about are currently hijacking the legislature and running for president in the country I live in, and I don't know if Jonathan Franzen actually hates women but he sure as fuck can't write about them, or much else either; I am trying to think of a more relentlessly mediocre and unambitious well-known writer than Jonathan Franzen, and I can't. I don't even care whether he hates women; I care that he is boring. I don't think you need to cut a woman up to hate her; apparently, these days, all you need to do is run for office. What I am trying to tell you, and maybe not very well, I am kind of a mess right now, this last week has left me kind of a mess, there is Trayvon Martin and Arizona and Mississippi and Florida and Kansas and Oklahoma and fuck I don't even know any more, I lose track, I can't look, what I am trying to tell you is that I wouldn't dream of telling you not to be angry. And yeah, today I find Jonathan Franzen pretty laughable, but a few weeks ago I was really, really angry about Jonathan Franzen.

Cinderfellas: The Long-Lost Fairy Tales:
Schönwerth's tales have a compositional fierceness and energy rarely seen in stories gathered by the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault, collectors who gave us relatively tame versions of "Little Red Riding Hood," "Snow White," "Cinderella," and "Rapunzel." Schönwerth gives us a harsher dose of reality than most collections. His Cinderella is a woodcutter's daughter who uses golden slippers to recover her beloved from beyond the moon and the sun. His miller's daughter wields an ax and uses it to disenchant a prince by chopping off the tail of a gigantic black cat. The stories remain untouched by literary sensibilities. No throat-clearing for Schönwerth, who begins in medias res, with "A princess was ill" or "A prince was lost in the woods," rather than "Once upon a time…"

Joe, Harry and Nancy Enlighten Us
We've heard occasionally about the "senior moments" of Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Some might attribute their senseless utterances to advanced age but to be fair, these three have been dim bulbs for a long time and may even be called lifetime nitwits. So it's rather dirty pool to imply they may be suffering from dementia or senility just because they should have retired years ago. Many seniors prefer to stay active and engaged. Certainly getting themselves up and dressed every day, and having a place to go and a purpose, could keep Joe, Harry and Nancy feeling perky for a long time.
Those who accuse the happy threesome of being in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease should be made aware that Alzheimer's is but a subset of a broader spectrum known as dementia, which literally means "deprived mind." Hmmm. Now we're getting warm.
It reminds us that Uncle Joe has taken his lumps for saying stuff like "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy" back in 2007 about Barack Obama. But we probably don't move in the same circles as Joe, who would know if this was the first such mainstream black male he had seen. Possibly he didn't see any mainstream African-Americans who looked bright and clean when he went for a late-night run to the 7-11, where he also said you feel real funny unless you meet certain criteria: "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent." Presumably you should also look clean.
Let's not leave the king of bland, Sen. Harry Reid, out of this fun-fest. If the man looked any more washed-out, he'd be turned inside out for a little more wear before ending up at Goodwill. But Harry's mild appearance may hide a true sage. The book Game Change points out that Harry was beside himself about candidate Obama's speaking skills, praising him as a light-skinned African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." A remark he later apologized for, saying he regretted his poor choice of words. One can't help wonder if he had noticed early on that Sen. Obama had a remarkable ability for droppin' his "g's" depending on the audience. Maybe he learned that from Hillary "I'm just an Arkansas gal" Clinton.
Nancy "we have to pass [the health care bill] to find out what is in it" Pelosi of course doesn't show her advanced age except when she opens her mouth to speak. Thanks to modern dermatology and other face saving technologies, the woman could pass for Julia Roberts in dim light at closing time. Nevertheless, we sometimes question whether this grandmother should join a weekly book club that meets at the local library rather than continue to serve in the House. Since Nancy's already pointed out that she "believes in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels" we're sure the reference librarians could point her to some material that explains that natural gas is indeed a fossil fuel. Just to catch her up.
Please, let's not jump to conclusions and apply tired stereotypes to these three leaders. It may not be senility at all that makes them say these things. At least Uncle Joe has explained the need for President Obama's proposed Buffett Rule tax on millionaires by posing this question, "Do we pay down those deficits, cutting wherever we can, as we've been doing, while at the same time investing in things we know we must invest in, in order for the economy to grow and create good middle-class jobs?" If anyone can explain what this means (one suspects it's a rhetorical question), please comment below. I beg you to keep it short. My concentration is not what it used to be.

A Raleigh man died early Wednesday after being tased by police following an altercation.
Raleigh police say they were called to the intersection of Wiggs and Mial Streets in the pre-dawn hours, with reports of a man running naked in a nearby church parking lot.
"There's a naked man--walking around--yelling at the top of his lungs," said a neighbor in a call to 911.
Officers say the man "became physically aggressive in his dealings with officers," and police used a Taser on him.
The man, who has been identified as 45-year-old Thomas Sadler, collapsed and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident happened right in front of Sadler's home, which is across the street from Emmanuel Baptist Church.
The home is owned by a woman who lives down the street. She was too upset to talk about what happened.
Neighbors told WNCN, Sadler lived alone, and kept to himself. But was known for odd behavior.
WNCN has learned, Sadler has a lengthy criminal history, and was out on parole when he died.
Raleigh Police also confirm they had been called out to the home multiple times.
The SBI is now investigating the department's actions.

My review of "State of Decay" for XBL 360 Arcade
My review of State of Decay (Xbox 360 Arcade)
I don't know how many gamers here are into Zombocalypse games. Yes, zombies have become quite popular in the gaming world, right up there with first person shooters.
There are many types of zombie/zombocalypse games out there... the tank games like the first few Resident Evils, which later evolved into 3D actioners, the spookier Silent Hill games, which use the tank styled control methods, the first person shooters (Left4Dead series, Dead Island series, and even FPS's like Call of Duty that have zombie apocalypse bonus games), etc.
But this game that my roomie (who is probably more into zombocalypse than I am) mentioned a game from Xbox Arcade called "State of Decay". He said I would probably enjoy it because it is very open world. When he tried the demo, he basically just went around destroying zombies. He didn't realize there was sooooo much more to this game than that...than just killing zombies and trying to get to a safehouse, and such.
Well, I bought the game on a leap of faith, largely because of the open world experience. It mentioned stuff about resource and people management, crafting, scrounging...just all manner of stuff that I really love about open world type games. At 1600 points (20 dollars), I got a game that so far seems to be worth far more than that.
This game is a Zombie Apocalypse Simulator! Or a Zombopocalypsulator, if you like. (Zom-bow-pock-uh-lips-yoo-later).
Graphically, the game is on par with PS2 or original Xbox. But in all other respects, this game is a current gen title. Dialogue, controls, gameplay, the depth of the world (and the voice acting is surprisingly good for an XBL Arcade title)...this game, like Oblivion, Fallout, and Skyrim when I bought them, has literally sapped away hours of my life (in a good way) as I explore the giant map, and engage in all manner of activities.
You try to rescue potential allies, you find safe houses with which to house your allies and your materials. You have to manage this safe house, from materials to food, to medicines, to sleeping space. You have to manage your survivors...health and rest are kinda on auto-pilot, as long as you can keep bed, food, and medicine well stocked...but their mental well being, every now and again, you have to take in hand. In your safe house, you have to determine what kinds of resources it will maintain. Will you have enough bedding for your boarders? Will you have a lookout defense tower? Will you have facilities for maintaining your vehicles and weapons? Will your medical facilities be adequate? Do you have, maybe, the space for a library/research facility? Maybe you can make a garden so you can make your own food instead of having to scrounge? Your food-prep facilities....do you have a good enough cook to make decent meals for your fellow survivors? Just....all sorts of management....don't worry, the game doesn't make it feel like a chore. There are many places all over the giant map with which to set up your ideal home base, but, of course you can only have one home base at a time. Your home base is also where you can stash your goods that you acquire.
When you start the game out, you start as the default character, Marcus, who, along with his friend, Ed, suddenly find themselves beset by a couple of mad men whom they take to be cannibals. After getting past them, you are given tutorials on how to stealth kill and sneak past zombies. You are told to make your way to the Ranger Station, which becomes your first, if very short lived, home base. You can snag some supplies from the supply cache. Along the map, there are also various overlook towers, from which you can get a lay of the surrounding land, letting you know where buildings and places of interest might be.
The first thing you're going to want to do, after you get the lay of the land, is respond to some gunshots heard in the distance, and assist the girl that is holding off the infected attackers with her rifle. You acquire her as an ally, and she, for the moment, is the only one with a gun. But, you also have melee weapons of differing constructed quality with which to survive against zombie attack. When you make your way back to the Ranger Station, all your new buddies are dead, and your friend Ed becomes infected when one of the buddies isn't quite dead...or rather, returned from the dead.
You are then told to make your way out of the park, especially after Ed retrieves a radio from the zombie that attacked him in the home base. (Do not let this home base serve as an example of security though. Your next home base can be made far more secure.)
The best thing to do is fully examine as much of the park as you can, and retrieve the things you feel essential to carry. Now that you've rescued Naya (the girl with the rifle) you can choose to play as her if you wish. Whatever you do, search the park...you might find backpacks with a bit more carrying capacity than you might have currently.
----to be concluded--

Although the natural treasures of fall may not be as flamboyant as a bundle of bright-blooming spring flowers, they have a subtle beauty all their own. Even something as ordinary as a dried pinecone becomes special when used to create an ornamental piece, like this round mirror frame. Because the wreath base is foam, the finished creation is light enough to hang on the wall but sturdy enough to serve as a centerpiece for your holiday table. And feel free to embellish your mirror with other fall treasures, such as fiery-hued autumn leaves or dried moss.

MADISON (WAOW) – The Wisconsin Lottery says a Badger 5 ticket worth $232,000 was sold in Wausau.
The winning numbers in Friday's drawing were 2, 18, 21, 29 and 31, the Lottery said.
Dave Jagler, owner of Townline Market in Wausau, said Monday that his store sold the winning ticket.
"We haven't had a winner come forward yet," he said. "This is the biggest one we have had. Being a small, little corner grocery, usually we sell to someone we know."
The Badger 5 jackpot starts at $10,000 and grows until there is a winner. The jackpot for Monday's drawing is $18,000.
Townline Market gets a commission for selling the winning ticket, which for the Badger 5 winner amounts to about $4,600, Jagler said.
