Do Women Really Want Equality In Relationships?
by Jimmy Jacob on Monday, May 14th, 2012 - - 2 CommentsConfessions, Love, Relationships, Turn offs
The other day I ended up in a Twitter debate with a bunch of beautiful yet opinionated female bloggers about equality in relationships and although each of these women were highly intelligent, a few of them were under the assumption that once in a relationship, a man should be the caretaker, the provider and the knight in shining armor—without asking for anything in return.
I, myself find this to be a very interesting topic. When a woman is single, they go after the big three on their own: apartment, car and clothes. I find a lot of women I know pride themselves on achieving everything on their own–only to hand over the responsibility to their unsuspecting boyfriends.
So the question is, do women really want equality in relationships or do they just want to be pampered?
The following quotes are from women in my life (girlfriend, family, friends) and I will dissect each quote because I can guarantee a lot of ladies have regurgitated the same statements in regards to their own personal dating lives:
"Oh my god, my boyfriend was so pissed off at me for not cleaning or cooking dinner today. I mean like, are we in the fifties?"
If you're living with your boyfriend and you're working a full-time job as well, then yes, you have every right to be pissed off for him to expect you cook and clean. However, if your boyfriend is providing for you (rent, groceries, bills) and you're not working, then you have NO right to complain–none at all. Yes, it's a 1950′s mentality to think you will cook and clean for him when he's bringing home the bacon, but is expecting him to provide for you ANY different? If your biggest task of the day is catching up on daytime television, then the least you can do is help out at home. Because let me tell you, if it was reverse, you would not put up with that.
"I was getting hit on by a guy at a bar in front of my boyfriend and he didn't do anything. He just took me by my hand and we walked to the other side of the bar. I swear, sometimes he can be such a coward."
Sometimes you ladies amaze me. From my experience, I can honestly say having your girlfriend getting hit on in front of you at a bar or club always results in a "no win" situation. If we punch out the guy, then we're hot-tempered, irrational and barbaric and then you get upset that we're treating you like a possession. Although if we don't do anything, we're automatically pussies? WTF! A woman should be proud that her boyfriend would avoid a petty fight. If we're with you and if we're secure, we should expect other men to find you attractive as well. This is why I don't like going out with my girlfriend to clubs or bars—because at the end of the night, you always look like either an abusive boyfriend or a whiny pussy.
Everytime my boyfriend takes me out, he always hounding me for sex afterward. What do I look like—a prostitute?"
This makes me laugh. Yes, sex SHOULD be expected in a relationship–but not because your boyfriend takes out but rather that you actually WANT to. So if you feel like a prostitute, maybe you should ask yourselves why. Also, let's be honest here: there is always a level of prostitution in every relationship. Both genders always do something for the other sex in order to get sex. Men watch your stupid reality tv shows, listen to you bitch about the constant drama and gossip from your workplace and add your nosey friends on Facebook. You see, it's all pretty relative.
"I hate it when he shaves his beard. I told him he looks like a teenage monkey when he does that. I hate that he looks like a little boy now…ugh."
I love my girlfriend–I really, really do but I really hate it when she berates me for shaving my facial hair. The insults that come out of her mouth are atrocious but because I'm a man, they aren't a big deal. It's funny because no man would be able to get away with doing the same thing. My girlfriend usually straightens her wild curly mane every day. Imagine if I said something like this, "I hate it when you don't straighten your hair. You look like the lovechild of Angela Davis and Sideshow Bob. Ugh." I would be shot–nuff said.
"He didn't even pay for the whole tab at dinner. He knew I had a huge VISA bill to pay for this month and just paid for himself. Why do I always attract cheapskates?"
I always have a code: If I can afford to pay the whole tab, I always will. It goes hand in hand with always providing more money for groceries since most guys eat more. However, I also have another code: If I'm too broke to pay for my girlfriend, I bring that up RIGHT away and I'm sure a lot of guys do the same thing. I love how women always tell the story of going to a restaurant and being surprised that they have to come out of pocket for the bill. A man generally does not make dinner plans PERIOD if they can't afford to take out their women. When a woman pays, it usually is a plan she made herself and when her boyfriend says he doesn't have much money, she usually offers to pay for herself begrudgingly.
From what I gather, a lot of women (not all but a lot) confuse equality with chivalry when it comes to relationships. So instead of whining that he's not keeping up to par with what you expect from him in a relationship–take two seconds and try to put yourself in his shoes. Ask yourself, 'What have you done for HIM lately?' for a change. Remember, just because you have a vagina, it does not automatically mean you deserve the world. The healthiest relationships require EQUAL amount of work from both significant others.

DOWNEY – Most of Downtown Downey was left in the dark Tuesday evening after a transformer explosion knocked out power to nearly 2,000 homes and businesses.
The explosion took place at about 6:05 p.m. near Firestone Boulevard and Brookshire Avenue.
Fire department officials didn't return messages seeking comment but at least one resident reported seeing a car on fire.
"I was on the opposite corner of Brookshire & Firestone when this happened," Carlos Sotomayer wrote on the Patriot's Facebook page. "All I heard & felt was the loudest explosion I have ever heard and in a blink of an eye a car was on fire and the intersection lights were gone. I hope everyone is ok."
The power outage forced many stores and restaurants to shut down early for the day.
Ichiban Sushi had to ask five of its customers to leave the restaurant. One patron, who declined to give her name, said the power went out shortly after their salads came out and they were asked to leave a few moments later.
"We thought it was just the restaurant that had its power go out, but then we heard ambulance sirens and we figured it was a bigger problem," she said.
After 20 minutes without power, L.A. Buns owner Mike Gavica and his brother, Marcus, began hustling to remove all of the meat and produce they had in their refrigerator and loaded it into their cars to take home.
The restaurant's dinner rush lasts from 6-8 p.m. and dinner accounts for 30 percent of their business.
"This has never happened before and it's my first time running a restaurant, so I'm learning what to do in case this happens again," Gavica said. "It's unfortunate timing because it's hitting during our dinner rush, but we'll make it work."
Porto's Bakery remained open because they have back-up generators that kick in during a power outage.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – January 17, 2013 – St. Joseph's College is pleased to announce that Dr. Tina Zottoli, assistant professor of psychology on the College's Brooklyn Campus, recently received a grant from the American Psychology-Law Society (APLS) to support her research on the competency of youthful offenders to enter into plea bargain agreements in court. This $5,000 grant will support the second phase of her project to assess the capacity of juvenile offenders to comprehend the potential consequences of entering into arrangements with prosecutors.
Every year, approximately 250,000 youth are adjudicated in criminal court each year and the vast majority of these youth accept plea deals. There is a dearth of research on whether or not adolescents can competently enter into plea deals, and, to date, there has been no study to address this question with respect to juvenile offenders (i.e., youth between the ages of 13 and 16 who are tried as adults and may face felony convictions).
Dr. Zottoli initially started to close this gap through a series of detailed interviews with juvenile offenders who have accepted felony pleas in New York.
"Youth in our study varied considerably in their understanding of the consequences attached to a felony conviction and many cited short term benefits (e.g., not having to wait any longer in jail) as reasons for accepting their plea deals," said Dr. Zottoli. "The grant we have been awarded by APLS will fund a follow-up study wherein we will conduct detailed interviews and additional assessments with a new sample of juvenile offenders and a comparison sample of adult offenders, all of whom have accepted plea deals for felony offenses in the past year."
From this research, Dr. Zottoli seeks to articulate formal policy recommendations that may improve the perceived and actual fairness of the plea negotiation process for juvenile offenders. Another key outcome of this research will be the development of a comprehensive checklist that will provide attorneys with a means to assess whether or not their clients are competent to enter into a plea bargain with prosecutors.
"Dr. Zottoli's research will make a lasting impact in ensuring a more fair and productive juvenile justice system that will ultimately make our city a safer place to live," said Dr. Richard Greenwald, Executive Dean on the Brooklyn Campus of SJC. "Her scholarship is yet another example of excellence at the College. We are all fortunate to have her in our community of learners."

Vittala Temple Hampi
As the epicenter of Hampi's attractions, Vittala Temple is the most extravagant architectural showpiece of Hampi. No amount of words can explain this spectacle. The temple is built in the form of a sprawling campus with compound wall and gateway towers. There are many halls, pavilions and temples located inside this campus.
Vittala, after whom the temple is known, is a form of lord Vishnu. This aspect of Vishnu was worshiped in this part of the country as their cult deity by the cattle herds.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

You certainly got some balls ST. Thats gonna be a challenge for sure. There are some nice young pieces on that roster though. Thinking I was gonna end up with it, I've been talking myself into Calderon returning to form; Rose adding the 3 ball, and increasing assists with more scoring around him; Adolph staying healthy and making Buser proud. Who knows- they might happen. Maybe Griffin will be the real deal too. All I'll say is, after taking that bullet you must be due some good karma.
Thanks D, and Kal as well. But don't think I'm doing anyone any favors! I'm still coming for ya once the season starts!
There are definitely some pieces in place there - but I know I'll be eating several of those deals in the long term, whether I keep those guys on my roster or not. So the question will be, do I keep a guy just because he's signed, or do I just take the hit and move on? And right now, the only one sitting on that fence is Caldy. Watched the replay of USA-Spain a while ago, and his performance didn't inspire me much (0 for 5 with 3 ASTs,if I remember correctly - Navarro looked sharp though!). Yao might not be a bad deal - until we find out for certain he isn't coming back, at which point I'll be eligible for the ipe - if he comes back though, 9+M and 10+M aren't bad for this year and next.
But I'll save the analysis for the discussion thread - just know that I'm in it for the long haul regardless of what happens.

While the Cowboys still have playoffs on their minds when the NFC East co- leaders head to Raymond James Stadium seeking to bounce back from a potentially very damaging loss from a week ago, the floundering Buccaneers will be attempting to avoid their longest in-season skid in 24 years when they take the field for Saturday's standalone Week 15 matchup.
The ESPN folks picked the Cowboys in a clean sweep, 10-0. The five CBSSports.com experts go the same route, meaning things don't look good for the Bucs.
SI's Peter King sees the Cowboys' winning big. He also thinks a lot of Dallas fans will be on hand to see it.
I'm guessing 40 to 50 percent of the fans at the Pirate Ship Saturday night will be Cowboy fans, and that's good for the Bucs. Maybe the Dallas cheering will drown out the calls for Raheem Morris' job.

Former police crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli has denied involvement in murder and fraud, according to a report on Friday.
In an interview with the Mail & Guardian, Mdluli said the allegations derived from a "racist" plot by white Western Cape policemen who were investigating him.
The journalists who had been writing "bad things" about him were also all white.
"I have never been involved in a murder… For the 33 years I have been in the police, I have never pulled the trigger and killed a person in my life."
Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa announced on Wednesday that Mdluli would be moved from his position as head of crime intelligence. His new position would be determined by acting national commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, Mthethwa told the National Assembly during debate on his budget vote.
Mthethwa said he had noted the "recent utterances, public discussions, and at times misrepresentation and misunderstanding" of SAPS processes by some in society, particularly in relation to the crucial crime intelligence division.
Mdluli is the subject of several investigations.
There is an ongoing inquest into his alleged involvement in murdering a man in 1999 with whom he shared a lover.
He is also alleged to have abused state money, and given jobs to his relatives. - Sapa

Surprise jump in bureaucrat spendingPUBLISHED: 26 Apr 2012 00:02:39 | UPDATED: 26 Apr 2012 10:19:38PUBLISHED: 26 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 26 Apr 2012
Sophie Morris
The agency that oversees the federal bureaucracy has enjoyed a steep rise in spending on advertising and media monitoring even as federal departments tighten their belts to help the government deliver its budget surplus.
The Australian Public Service Commission has doubled its spending on advertising since 2007-08 and its media monitoring budget has grown 80 per cent in this time, according to answers to questions on notice obtained by The Australian Financial Review.
Although the commission has just 260 staff, who do not travel with ministers, from July 2011 until the end of March it had spent $1.285 million on travel, equal to about $5000 per staff member.
As of February, 33 commission employees had Qantas club memberships, costing $260 a year to renew.
Finance Minister Penny Wong has suggested that agencies could avoid retrenching staff by spending less on travel, consultants and advertising as they seek to cut administrative spending to meet the government's tougher efficiency dividend.
A string of departments has flagged plans to reduce the number of staff, with 1500 public service jobs to be cut, in order to deliver savings.
While the APSC blames the cost blowout on public service reforms and rejigged responsibilities, it told the Senate Finance and Public Administration Committee it was "considering the source of savings for the 4 per cent efficiency dividend in 2012-13" but had not yet decided what those savings would be.
"Hard choices may need to be made to preserve the capability of the APSC, noting that consultancies, travel, official hospitality, training and legal costs are not a large portion of the ongoing appropriation funded activities of the APSC," the commission told the committee.
The chairman of the Senate committee, Scott Ryan, said the APSC's expenditure might look like "small fry" compared with government waste in other areas. "But as every family knows, if you take care of the cents, the dollars will take care of themselves," said the shadow parliamentary secretary for Small Business and Fair Competition.
"The waste and mismanagement that has characterised this government has crept into the bureaucracy as well.
"The key management body for the public service, the APSC, should be leading by example when it comes to belt-tightening."
Unlike some departments, the commission is not responsible for providing media monitoring services to a minister's office, yet its media monitoring bill rose from $34,041 in 2007-08 to $61,447 in 2010-11.
Already this financial year, it has spent $55,750 on monitoring the media and expects the full-year cost to be less than $100,000.
The commission's spending on advertising rose from $187,717 in 2007-08 to $375,105 last financial year.
The advertising was undertaken to "promote development programs, to notify tender and employment opportunities, as well as to recruit indigenous employees for the Australian Public Service as a whole," the commission said.
The commission's travel spending since July 1 includes $775,000 in airfares, $365,000 in travel allowance, $52,000 in travel to recruit indigenous candidates for the public service and $94,000 for taxis and parking.
The commission said in a statement to the AFR yesterday its increased spending on advertising, media monitoring and travel had occurred because of changed responsibilities arising from public service reform. The increased advertising costs were due to a greater focus on indigenous employment and a one-off cost promoting a new employment portal for the public service.
"Increased costs on travel are related to our AusAID-funded international activities developing and delivering programs in the Asia-Pacific region to meet the government's priority of supporting countries to establish professional, impartial public sector agencies," the APSC said.
And the rise in media monitoring fees was "directly related to functions transferred to the APSC for Australian government policies for agreement-making, classification structures; the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal; and the Remuneration Tribunal".
As the bureaucracy seeks savings, more than 1500 public servants are expected to be shed by departments and agencies, including Education, Climate Change, Regional Australia, Treasury, Resources, Veterans Affairs, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Commsuper.
Senator Wong said in November the government would raise the efficiency dividend from 1.5 per cent to 4 per cent in 2012-13 to save $465 million as it sought to return the budget to surplus.
The efficiency dividend is an annual cut in departmental budgets that is used to force bureaucrats to make savings and improve efficiency.
Labor had already increased the dividend from 1.25 per cent to 1.5 per cent in 2011-12 and 2012-13. The Coalition has pledged to get even tougher on public service spending.
On delivering the annual State of the Service report in November, Australian public service commissioner Stephen Sedgwick said the public service had grown by just 1.2 per cent in 2010-11 – the smallest increase since 2003-04.
Mr Sedwick began a five-year term as public service commissioner in December 2009 after a long career in the bureaucracy, including as secretary to the departments of Finance, Employment and Education, and a stint as director of the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne.

Kidman said, "Luckily I got up, but there will be a time when someone does not."

FARGO - United States Attorney Timothy Q. Purdon announced that on
February 23, 2012, Mark Alan Lindgren of Grand Forks, North Dakota, was sentenced by
United States District Court Judge Ralph R. Erickson to 12 years' imprisonment on
charges of distribution of child pornography.
Lindgren, 29, pleaded guilty on August 2, 2011, to distribution of materials
involving the sexual exploitation of minors and possession of materials involving the
sexual exploitation of minors.
Lindgren was a member of an encrypted network whereby individuals shared child pornography with one another. Based upon this evidence the FBI executed a search warrant at Lindgren's residence on the University of North Dakota campus in Grand Forks. As a result of the search of his residence various electronic media was seized.
An analysis of the electronic media revealed more than 35,000 image files and 250
video files of children depicted in sexually explicit activity. Much of the material
depicted children engaged in hard-core sexual activity and other violent conduct.
Judge Erickson sentenced Lindgren to 12 years' imprisonment, to be followed by a
lifetime of supervised release. Lindgren was ordered to pay a $200 special assessment to
the Crime Victim's Fund. He was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $6,000,
to be paid to the victims depicted in the child pornography.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
This case was brought as a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Klemetsrud Puhl prosecuted the case.

Charge your batteries, this is a fun inverter. This runs all my stuff in the RV, dry camping. Microwave Oven 1000W, coffee pot 750W, TV 50W, stereo 45W, large air matress pump 500W, 1200W heat gun, floressent lights, and my 1/3HP, 120v 8amp, capacitor start, 3 gallon air compressor! Must use at least 2 charged 12v 115AH batteries in parallel, #2gauge wire, less than 2ft away. I have 300W of solar to help the batteries recharge. Inverter will run all night easy at light loads. Fans stay off until the heat goes up at high loads. My Kilawatt meter reads 1600W output pushing heat gun and coffee pot at same time. Pulls batteries down to 11.5v after a minute at high outputs. Must use very good batteries above 10.5v under load. Fans go off when not needed. Current pull at no load is only 700mA, 12v input, fans off. This is a super inverter! It has an output load meter 0 to 2000w using LED's, but no volt meter. Very powerful able to start large motors, heaters, lights. Just keep it above 10.5V at it's terminals or else it shuts down because of low voltage. Use very large wire and keep them short. Mine works great with two good strong deep cycle batteries. Great unit.

This inverter, along with all the others at HF (and possibly other budget suppliers) is close to being falsely advertised. Per Harbor Freight Tech Support, the "Peak" wattage rating is good for "less than 1 second". Anything longer will be seen as a dead short and cause the inverter to trip.No electrical motor pushing an actual device can get up to speed in LESS THAN 1 SECOND (IE: a blade on a saw, a pump, even a large fan blade) so for all practical purposes, there is no "peak power".You will notice that some pretty handy people have written reviews here, but nobody has bothered to actually measure the startup load of their equipment, so they have been under a false impression of what the inverter is capable of - and the guy who currently has the most liked positive review (RV Bruce) gave readers the impression that he had all that stuff connected at once, but basic arithmetic will tell you that was impossible. The microwave and the heat gun alone would have exceeded his "continuous" limit.I measured a 12" miter saw and a 2 hp compressor each at 14-15 amps running and 18 amps startup. 18A x 120V = 2160W but the inverter will alarm and trip even that close to the "continuous" rating. And yes, I used massive 2/0 copper cables just 3 ft long from a brand new Interstate PRO-27M Marine battery (675 CCA so 8100 available watts - there was enough to run two inverters!).Bottom line: this inverter is capable of ONLY 2000 watts - unless you have a device that can surge in LESS THAN 1 SECOND. Other than that I think it performs as advertised. Haven't had it long so can't comment on reliability.

Comments about Cen-Tech 2000 Watt Continuous/4000 Watt Peak Power Inverter:
Hooked up to 2 6 volt golf cart batteries in my motor home. Used the 2AWG 6' cables HF sells they did the job. Tested it out over the weekend out in the desert ran the TV, DirecTV and blue ray player without a problem. Fan only came on twice for only a few seconds and was quite. Works great off the grid with solar panels, I don't like to run my motorhome generator it screws up my tranquility.

it works
By Scooby
from Tucson
I followed the guys advice on here: bought 2/0 welding leads, made lugs out of 1/2" copper pipe and ran harborfreights 15amp cutoff saw and it worked. The unit never even warmed up. The unit peaked for a fraction of a second when I started the saw and then ran at half capacity while cutting. I ran it off my suburbans 2 batteries and kept the engine idling. Note, as others have said, deep cycling car batteries reduces their life.

About Me Home handy Man
Have a HF 1500/3000 w inverter that ran everything I needed including a Work GT blower vac mulcher. Ran all my hand tools too with one set solar panels from HF with battery bank. Had trouble at first with my circular saw but saw all the postings from electricians about correct wire size. Had 4ga but circular saw would kick it off. Changes to 2ga wire and ran circular saw with no problem . Upgraded to this 2000w inverter and runs circular saw with a 100 ft extension cord....love this item! K. Now I can run any of my tools with no problem.

Use 0-2
By USN Mech
from N. California
I use this in my small RV with one group 27 deep cycle 12 Battery. The trick as others have said is keeping the DC side as low resistance as possible for the massive amps this thing can pull. Here's what I did. get 0-2 wire from the local welding supply shop. It's about $3/foot. My application used 6 feet total. For connectors: A cheap easy low resistance solution is take a piece of 1/2" copper pipe and cut off four 2-2 1/2" pieces. flatten one half in a vise and drill 1/4" inch hole in the flat part for the inverter connections and drill the others with whatever size you need for the lugs on your battery. 0-2 wire is slightly smaller than 1/2" so it will fit in the other end of the copper pipe. crimp and solder it with some good electrical flux. Trim and tape/shrink wrap the connectors on the inverter end, especially the + as necessary to keep them from ever touching the body of the inverter. Before doing this I was tripping the inverter at 900 watts. Now it will do its rated capacity.

2000 watts to power my tool shed
By johnny the Diy'er
from lakewood, wa
About Me DIY'er
I use this inverter to power my portable tool shed, complete with hf's 45 watt solar kit mounted on top. It powers my lawn mower, hedge trimmer, edger, string trimmer, chain saw and leaf blower/vac. Can't wait to see if it will run a chipper or pressure washer (next big purchase). I only have one 122ah deep cycle battery and I can do my complete yard.

Works for me!
By Handy Wayne
from In the wind
I tried it out using 2-6volt, 220Ah batteries and a 20ft. pair of #4 jumper cables. It powered my 1000+watt microwave for 5 min. and then a 1600 watt toaster oven also for 5 min. test. The mic seemed a bit slow, as to be expected from modified sine wave. The toaster oven got hot enough to do its job. The wires remained cool but 5 min. test may not be long enough. Point is, if it worked for my test then it should do even better in it's new home in my RV powering it with 1/0 wire @ 6ft run to the batteries.Fully charged batteries and short heavy wire is crucial in DC voltage.

Patriots Man
By Ron

Hey veggie oil man. Did you use the correct wire size? (#2 AWG) ohms law plays a huge role here. Keep the length as short as possible. The instructions note the wire size and length. I initially tested the setup using my shop vac. It draws 1500 watts. Startup wattage is about 2000. I used only ONE 12V deep cycle battery. I had no alarms, no low voltage issue etc. Be certain the deep cycle batteries healthy as well.

Inverters are part of my live.
By Johann
from NC
About Me Casual Driver, DIY, Mechanic
I use a inverter because the slightest breeze will kill my net power and I can run my inverter for 12 hrs hooked up to my car ideling and using 2 gallons of gasoline.This invereter is a modified signwave inverter, which output does not look like a sinewave at all but looks like steps.Inverters like this do not like inductive loads at all, like motors, transformers, electromagnets and full sinwave inverters should be used for this. But inverters usally do very good with resistive loads, like a electric heater or old cooffee makers without electronics.Modified sinewave inverters are very inefficient and will use more power.Cables have to be very big on the DC side on inverters like this, you could double up on wires and run parrallel. A 2000 watt at 120 volt would need a wire that can handle 200 amps at the battery side and your battery need to be big enough to deliver 200 amps. Don't expect a 200AH Battery to give you 200 amps longer than a few minutes without the voltage dropping very fast. Electric motors may take up to 10 times the amps to just start the motor. I lived on and off of my inverter the last 15 years and I went through some of the problems posted here ,when I started. But most of the problems disappeard by increasing wire size and short runs and adding more batteries and decreasing loads.So far I used inverters like this to power everthing with it because they are cheap, including motors and electronics and so far there was no problem with it.

Fuel tankers are 'mobile bombs'
Driver safety is being compromised by pressure to speed and skip rest breaks to complete jobs on time says Transport Workers Union secretary Tony Sheldon.PT0M50S http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-31ybc 620 349 February 4, 2014

Fuel tankers are "mobile bombs", with a quarter of drivers saying they felt pressured to speed and half saying they skipped rest breaks, the Transport Workers Union has said.
A survey of 90 drivers in the eastern states found that about one-third are pushed to falsify logbooks.
The union released the survey on Tuesday as it lodged a national dispute with the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal over safety issues in the oil, fuel and gas industries.
A 2013 crash in Mona Vale in Sydney in which two people died.
The union's national secretary, Tony Sheldon, said drivers were forced to speed, skip rest breaks and fake their logbooks "just to keep jobs".
"Petrol tankers are literally mobile bombs," Mr Sheldon said.
"They're at the most dangerous end of Australia's most dangerous industry."
Mr Sheldon pointed to crashes at Bateman's Bay, in 2009, and Mona Vale, in Sydney, in 2013 as examples of the consequences of drivers driving too fast and for too long.
The Mona Vale crash led to a safety check blitz in Victoria and NSW, with authorities issuing trucking giant Cootes Transport with hundreds of defect notices. Two people were killed and five injured in the crash.
The driver survey listed ineffective brakes, oil and fuel leaks, steering, axle, suspension and exhaust failures, broken engine mounts and tread peeling from tyres among the defects.
Mr Sheldon said a third of drivers reported they had been threatened with dismissal if they reported serious safety flaws.
The survey also found 45 per cent of drivers said employers routinely delayed brake maintenance. One driver said his tanker was 13,000 kilometres overdue for servicing. Another driver said trucks he drove were routinely 2000 to 5000 kilometres overdue for brake repairs.
The TWU is seeking binding federal orders through the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal to improve road safety. Its claim will concentrate on holding clients accountable for skipped safety checks and for setting what Mr Sheldon described as "impossibly low" pay rates and delivery times.
"Major petrol clients like Coles need to learn that road safety is not red tape," Mr Sheldon said.
The tribunal was set up in 2012 to look at pressures on drivers to drive unsafely. It can issue binding orders on the industry to lift safety standards.
Mr Sheldon said the truck driving industry was the nation's most dangerous. He said the fatality rate was 15 times higher than the national average for other jobs. He said about 330 people were killed each year in truck-related crashes.
Fairfax Media contacted Coles for a response.

Anonymous asked: Where can I find items found in your pictures? I am interested in the necklace with the turquoise pendant and silver chain. Also, more information about your site would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I am unsure as to where you can purchase the necklace. I use my blog as a way to archive my favorite images, and I frequently browse the images I collect for inspiration. I do record where some of the items can be purchased, but I don't tend to post this because it is time consuming. I gather images all week and post them on Tuesdays in a simple post, no reblogging or tagging. I enjoy keeping the simplicity of my blog for inspiration only. Thanks for checking it out, sorry I can't be of help on this particular item!

MoMA Premiere: Through the Weeping Glass: An Evening with the Quay Brothers
September 24, 2011
As part of a limited three-city tour that includes premieres in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, MoMA presents the Quay Brothers'Through the Weeping Glass: On the Consolations of Life Everlasting (Limbos & Afterbreezes in the Mütter Museum), a new work by the American-born, British-based independent filmmakers. In the tradition of their prior museum documentaries—The Phantom Museum (2003), on London's Sir Henry Wellcome Collection, and Inventorium of Traces (2009), on Poland's Lancut Castle—the Quays return to the city where they began their education as graphic designers to explore the medical collections of the Mütter Museum, part of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Examining obscure archives, antique volumes, and artifacts, Through the Weeping Glass investigates marvels of pathology and anatomical oddities, finding poetry in the ill-fated, true-life stories of the "ossified man" Harry Eastlack and famed Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker. The documentary Behind the Scenes with the Quay Brothers, shot during production ofThrough the Weeping Glass, also premieres. Directors Stephen and Timothy Quay will be present to discuss the film with writer David Spolum and moderator Barbara London.

Amarillo, TX - A federal employee in Amarillo is arrested after officials say he made threats and had a list of co-workers he wanted to kill.
Peter Madrid is under a U.S. Marshal hold at the Randall County Jail after the FBI says he made statements at work about wanting to shoot and kill his coworkers.
According to a federal affidavit Madrid is arrested for assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees.
Court records show co-workers at the Bureau of Land Management, told an FBI agent that Madrid said he wanted to kill them all when talking about other employees, said if he had a gun he would take people out and also made a statement about the shooter in the mass shooting in Colorado saying quote, "He got them."
Madrid is scheduled for a detention and preliminary hearing in federal court Tuesday morning.

Council should listen to us over homes
10:00am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Letters
Sir – District councillor Duncan Enright, in his criticism of the proposed closure of Witney Post Office (Gazette, December 18), asks: "Where is the evidence that they have listened at all?"
I hope he will bear in mind his statement when he comes to vote after the new strategic housing market assessment for Oxfordshire is finalised.
The residents of Brize Norton are vehemently against 700-plus houses being "plonked" (Prime Minister and Witney MP David Cameron's own phrase) in their parish.
Will he, along with the other district councillors, be listening to us?

Since 1912, four generations of Zimmermanns have stocked the shelves at the 15,000-square-foot Zimmermann True Value Hardware store with durable hardware supplies, gardening equipment, and other home-improvement goods. Shoppers can peruse the aisles to pick up handy items such as screwdriver sets, hammers, and miniature contractors for DIY projects. Standing strong by their commitment to superior customer service, the staff also provides convenient services including knife sharpening, computerized paint matching, and screen repair.
Founded in 1991 by an enterprising high-school freshman, Apex Landscaping dispatches more than 60 personable personnel to groom clients' lawns and gardens. With today's deal, choose between seven varieties of annual flowers to decorate your garden this summer—sprinkle gardens with dainty impatiens, light up a field with some fiery marigolds, or plant sharp snapdragon spikes below windowsills to deter pie thieves. A landscape technician will help homeowners decide where to place plants, then an army of installers will dimple gardens with holes to house 108 root systems. Upon request, they can also sprinkle new arrivals with organic fertilizer or sing them chlorophyll-themed lullabies to soothe the transition into their new homes.
Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management Service is committed to providing the safest and the most effective pest elimination and pest prevention available to homes and businesses.
As their name implies, Greenwise specializes in 100% eco-friendly landscaping services. Their maintenance packages for residential or commercial lawns use sustainable, renewable alternative products to keep Mother Nature from giving them a stern lecture. Propane- or electric-driven mowers trim grass with low amounts of emissions and their grass seed is fused with beneficial fungi that nourish turf without the need for added chemicals. Additionally, their fertilizers use nutrient-rich compost comprised of molasses and yeast, and weeds and harmful insects are eliminated with nontoxic, all-natural products.
Greenwise's devotion to lowering carbon footprints extends to their landscaping design as well. They plant organic gardens that blossom with fresh fruits and vegetables to add aesthetic beauty to yards and cut down on trips to the grocer. They are also proponents of working with native flora, which make for a more sustainable garden and attract native birds and butterflies to yards to entertain bored lawn ornaments.
For the designer Marisa Gora of Kemora Landscape Designs, it's not enough for a garden or yard to be beautiful. It must also be functional, and it has to work with the natural environment it borders. It's no question that she holds her work to a high standard. But it's the way she surpasses even those standards that has earned her company awards from Angie's List, the Flower and Garden Show (which applauded Kemora's work on the American Girl Garden), and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association.
Her business's mission to give beauty and function equal importance might have something to do with Marisa's background: she was pre-med at the University of Chicago when she decided to switch careers. Her love of drawing and previous work in landscape maintenance for the Wilmette Park District sparked the inspiration that eventually drew her to landscape design. After graduating and working in the industry, she founded Kemora, and today gives life to homeowners' design dreams.
The team of landscaping professionals at Greeney Land Services beautifies the outdoors, assisting homeowners with lawn care, irrigation, and paving installation. Before clients agree to an environs makeover, they can sit down with a professional during a free consultation. This conversation will help them assess their options, which could include paver patios or retaining walls, which keep flowers from running off to meet the bees that pollinate them. Lest beautiful stonework upstage a lackluster lawn, the team also keeps greenery looking healthy and inviting through an array of landscaping and lawn-care services. Potential customers can take a look at the outfit's photo gallery to get an idea of its handiwork.

It was almost déjà vu all over again for the Jones County Junior College softball team.
The 8th-ranked Lady Bobcats rallied from a 6-2 deficit to stun the homestanding and 7th-ranked Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Lady Bulldogs 9-6 here Monday evening at Ross-Smith to claim their second consecutive MACJC softball championship.
Last year, the Lady Bobcats were down 5-1 entering the bottom of the seventh before coming back to beat Northeast Mississippi, 6-5, to win the title.
And to top it off, Seminary sophomore rightfielder Rebecca Dunn had what proved to be the game-winning hit vs. MGCCC – just like she did last year vs. Northeast when JCJC won the title at Itawamba.
The Lady Bobcats are now 39-6 and will head to the Region 23 Tournament at Traceway Park in Clinton. They will meet Itawamba at 4 p.m. on Thursday in their opening game.
MGCCC, 33-9, will face Pearl River and East Central plays LSU-Eunice in other first round games that will also be played at 4 p.m. A complete region tourney bracket will be posted later.
The top two teams advance to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament, which will also be in Clinton May 15-18.
Earlier on Monday, the Lady Bobcats edged Pearl River 3-2 to reach the championship game, while Miss. Gulf Coast eliminated East Central, 7-3.
Lady Bobcats 9, Lady Bulldogs 6
JCJC head coach Chris Robinson compared the game to a heavyweight boxing match with each team landing punches. But JCJC would deliver the knockout punch in their final at-bat.
The Lady Bobcats scored twice in the top of the first, but MGCCC rallied for three runs in the bottom of the first, scored twice in the second and once in the third to take a 6-2 lead.
But JCJC responded with three runs in the fourth and one in the fifth to tie the game.
That set up the seventh inning where the Lady Bobcats did all of their damage with two outs.
First, Brooke David singled and was replaced by courtesy runner Angela Land. Makenzie Hawkins singled and Dunn followed with an RBI single to score Land. Kalyn McNabb then came through with a two-run single to give the Lady Bobcats some insurance.
In the bottom of the seventh, MGCCC got a leadoff single from Emily Davis, but Michele Hester came back to get a strikeout and a groundout. With two outs, Hester got MGCCC's Reina Baluja to fly out to Dunn in rightfield and the Lady Bobcats began their celebration.
The Lady Bobcats took a 2-0 lead in the first when CC Lawn led off with a bloop double into shallow left field. Relanda McFarland reached on a bunt single and stole second base. Bethany Volking's fielder's choice scored Lawn. Karley Crosby would then hit into a double play, but McFarland came in to score.
MGCCC came back when Lea Kittrell walked and Emily Davis singled. Morgan Fairley then reached on a bunt that was errored to load the bases with no outs. Brooke Gaston drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Davis scored on a wild pitch. Dani Craft's infield hit scored Fairley to make it 3-2.
The Lady Bulldogs made it 5-2 in the second when Catherine Campbell singled and Davis homered off the scoreboard over the rightfield fence.
MGCCC took a 6-2 lead in the third. Gaston reached on an error and Baluja reached on a fielder's choice. Craft then had an RBI single.
But JCJC would have a three-run, two-out rally in the fourth to trim the lead to 6-5.
David singled and was replaced by Land. Hawkins singled and Dunn walked to load the bases. McNabb reached on an infield single to score Land and Reagan Gavin delivered a two-run single.
The Lady Bobcats tied it in the fifth when Lawn led off with a single and was sacrificed to second by McFarland. Volking singled and Crosby followed with an RBI single to right.
Hester, 14-4, entered with one out in the third and shut down MGCCC the rest of the way to post the win. She gave up three hits and struck out one. Starter Samantha Buller allowed six runs, six hits and walked one.
Lawn had two doubles and a single for JCJC, while David, Hawkins and McNabb each singled twice. McFarland, Volking, Crosby, Dunn and Gavin added singles.
Baluja went the distance and took the loss. She gave up 14 hits, nine runs, walked two and struck out two.
Davis homered and singled three times for MGCCC, while Craft had two singles. Baluja had a double, while Campbell and Shalaria Pickens had singles.
Lady Bobcats 3, Lady Wildcats 2
The Lady Bobcats trailed 2-0 entering the bottom of the fifth inning when they broke through for the game-winning rally.
Lawn led off the inning with a single. After a strikeout, Volking ripped a double inside the third base bag. After a flyout, David reached on a hot-shot, infield single to third base, which scored Lawn.
Hawkins then followed with a two-run double to deep left to put JCJC ahead 3-2.
Pearl River took a 1-0 lead in the third when Shannon Brown walked and was sacrificed to second by Whitney Waits. Megan Scronce singled and Emily Jackson was hit by a pitch. Kelsea Lewis' sacrifice fly to right scored Brown.
The Lady Wildcats made it 2-0 in the top of the fifth when Waits singled and advanced to second on a popped up bunt. Jackson then doubled off the left field wall to score Waits.
Buller, 23-2, went the distance and posted the victory. She allowed two runs, six hits, walked three and struck out four.
Lawn had a double and two singles, while Hawkins had two doubles for JCJC. Volking had a double, while McFarland, David and Dunn had singles.
Brittany LeBlanc went the distance and took the loss for Pearl River. She gave up three runs, nine hits, walked one and struck out seven.
Waits singled twice for the Lady Wildcats, while Scronce, Jackson, Lewis and Kaci Lantrip singled.

A new study shows that domestic abuse is closely linked to postpartum mental health problems, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in mothers. The research also found that specific types of abuse are associated with specific mental health problems. The work was done by researchers at North Carolina State University, Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia.
Memories of traumatic events often last a lifetime because they are so difficult to treat through behavioral approaches. A preclinical study in mice published by Cell Press January 16th in the journal Cell reveals that drugs known as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) can enhance the brain's ability to permanently replace old traumatic memories with new memories, opening promising avenues for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety disorders.
About a dozen years ago, scientists discovered that a hormone called ghrelin enhances appetite. Dubbed the "hunger hormone," ghrelin was quickly targeted by drug companies seeking treatments for obesity — none of which have yet panned out.
A new study from MIT reveals a gene that is critical to the process of memory extinction. Enhancing the activity of this gene, known as Tet1, might benefit people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by making it easier to replace fearful memories with more positive associations, says Li-Huei Tsai, director of MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory.
The human brain is exquisitely adept at linking seemingly random details into a cohesive memory that can trigger myriad associations—some good, some not so good. For recovering addicts and individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), unwanted memories can be devastating. Former meth addicts, for instance, report intense drug cravings triggered by associations with cigarettes, money, even gum (used to relieve dry mouth), pushing them back into the addiction they so desperately want to leave.
Anxiety disorders, which include posttraumatic stress disorder, social phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, affect 40 million American adults in a given year. Currently available treatments, such as antianxiety drugs, are not always effective and have unwanted side effects.

Lawmakers voted 299-128 to require screening of all cargo on passenger planes within three years, to check cargo ships for nuclear bombs before they leave ports bound for the U.S. and to boost homeland security funding for urban areas most likely to be terrorist targets.Wonder what the Senate will do?
The anti-terrorism measure is the first in a series of bills the House is expected to pass this week and next. The list--all part of Democrats' campaign platform--includes an increase in the minimum wage, expansion of federally funded embryonic stem cell research and permission for the federal government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for senior citizens.

... but here I go anyway!!
It's been months. MONTHS. My last post was right after my birthday.
Well, the eBay business is dead. I killed it. I want to keep blogging about what's on my mind nowadays but:
a) Those of you who came for the shoes would probably not enjoy that and
b) A lot of people I know personally read my blog and I don't really feel like hanging my dirty laundry out to dry, unless I can find a way to do it anonymously
I'm not doing a ton of shopping lately, except for houses. My husband and I decided we'd like to stay in this area for a while, and it doesn't make much sense to keep throwing money down the drain with a rental. Unfortunately I don't get coupons in the mail for house discounts, but I'm sure there's some sort of method to this as well!
In other news, my husband quit his job and is taking care of our son full time for now. My job has gotten significantly more demanding, but I really enjoy my coworkers, so that more than make up for the stress. I've got travel scheduled pretty much every month between now and the summer - anything and everything from Cleveland to Caracas to Boston to London. Needless to say some of those places feel a little more appealing to me than others. :)
I'd love to hear from you guys. Drop me a note, would you? I'm not sure if I'll be back, at least in this blog's current incarnation, but I'll keep the site open in case some of you want to get in touch with me.
Take care, guys. I really enjoyed this.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - It's a busy holiday weekend for a lot of people, including hunters. As dove season begins, Department of Natural Resources officers urge hunters to be careful and follow safety rules.
Georgia's month-long alligator season also kicks off Saturday. Gator hunters will hit swampy areas and lakes.
They must enter a lottery before the season begins. They're randomly selected to get a permit, and each hunter can only harvest one gator.
"You get one tag," said DNR Ranger First Class, Ben Roberts. "The gator has to be at least four feet long. You can't just go out and shoot them. You have to use some kind of instrument with a string attached to it like a bow and arrow."
Hunters can also use a harpoon gun or fishing rods to hook gator. They can shoot the gator once they get it to their boat. For more information on hunting regulation, visit the Georgia DNR website.

Movie: Crazy Heart
This is a great film. Jeff Bridges plays a burned out, alcoholic country singer on his last leg. The trailer above is a tiny bit misleading as while the movie does feature a romance it is not exactly as central to the movie as it seems although it is pivotal in Blake's (Bridges) story.
The movie is based on a book that was originally intended as a story about Merle Haggard but gaining the rights to Haggard's life story were a bit hard to lock down, it became a more generic story with Blake's character being more of a collage of Haggard, Kristopherson and Waylon Jennings.
I think the more generic, old-school, has-been country singer made for a better movie (I've not read the book).
The point here is, Bridges makes this movie. The story itself is not a new story, not a new perspective and there's no twist or anything terribly unexpected. The actors here are what make this movie great. Bridges, Gyllenhaal and even Colin Farrell make this film what it is.
Oh, and who knew Bridges and Farrell could sing?
Bring on the comments
Might be worth checking out. I avoided it because I'd already seen and read Honky Tonk Man. It struck me as a cross between that and The Wrestler.

I haven't seen this one yet. I love Bridges to pieces. Can't stand country music. But he does a great job on the song.

Climb one of two or three variations to reach the base of the block. Look for the drilled 2 finger pocket and decide to avoid it for 12a or pull on it for 11 a/b.

Item: Northwest Avalanche Forecasting Program - Form, Content, Dissemination, Usage
Title: Northwest Avalanche Forecasting Program - Form, Content, Dissemination, Usage
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1980 International Snow Science Workshop, Vancouver, BC, Canada
- Mark Moore [ USDA Forest Service, Avalanche Warning Center, Seattle, WA ]
- Rich Marriott [ USDA Forest Service, Avalanche Warning Center, Seattle, WA ]
Date: 1980
Abstract: The present guidelines for form, content, dissemination, and usage of public daily back country avalanche forecasts in the Northwest have been developed primarily during the winters of 1978-80 by forecast staff of the Northwest Avalanche Forecasting Program. This program, currently administered by the US Forest Service (USFS) and cooperatively funded by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the National Park Service (NPS) with the additional vital cooperation of the National Weather Service (NWS), is an outgrowth of a research project initially funded in 1975 at the University of Washington by WSDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHA). Avalanche problems in the primarily maritime forecast area-including the Washington Cascades, Olympic Mountains, and_the northern Oregon Cascades-- affect approximately 50,000 km2 of mountainous terrain from 450 N to 490 N latitude and l200W to l25 0W longitude with major forecast elevations ranging from 900 m to more than 3000 m. Over 240 major avalanche paths affect approximately 250 km of state and Federal highways encompassing six mountain passes. Heavy yearly snowfall (ranging from 1000 to over 2500 cm), large freezing level fluctuations (from sea level to over 3000 m), and often strong winds combine to produce a predominance of direct action slab avalanching in the Northwest mountains. Due to recent greatly increased winter usage of undeveloped mountainous recreational areas in the Northwest, the need for reliable, timely, understandable, and educational public avalanche forecasts is evident.
