Bad Archaeologists tend to focus on a small number of special places, usually spectacular monuments or ruins, exotic or poorly known locations, sunken or extraterrestrial civilisations. Many of these places are known to Good Archaeologists, who understand them quite differently.
Special places
Archaeological monuments
There are certain well known monuments that crop up time and again in Bad Archaeological texts. Each variety of Bad Archaeology has a different explanation for them: they were built by aliens, by Celtic explorers of North America, by refugees from Atlantis, by Chinese circumnavigators, by a Lost Civilisation of the Ice Age… If any one of these claims is true, the others are automatically false. How do we set about testing them?
Pyramids have long fascinated people, from ancient tomb robbers intent on stealing Pharaoh's gold to Victorian adventurers in the Mexican rainforest. They are among the most awe inspiring monuments left by our ancestors, but do we really know how they were built and what they were for?
Some ancient cities are places of mystery: because they are often set in remote locations, abandoned for centuries or millennia, not rediscovered until recent times, they can appear to be testimony to the existence of prodigiously ancient civilisations. But are they?
Places of questionable significance
Bad Archaeologists sometimes use places that have escaped the attention of Good Archaeologists. Is this because recognising them as ancient sites would upset the neat hypotheses of Good Archaeology or is it because the Good Archaeologists know they are not really archaeological monuments?
Mistaken and controversial identifications
The location of Noah's Ark (why would it even survive?), the city of El Dorado, the lost city of Atlantis in the Sahara Desert: so many Bad Archaeologists claim to have found these dubious attractions. Why do their amazing discoveries fail to make archaeological textbooks, only tabloid headlines?
Natural formations
From sunken formations off the coast of Yonaguni in Japan to eroded 'pyramids' at Cydonia on Mars, Bad Archaeologists have been making claims that things other people have thought to be products of geology and erosion are in fact ancient monuments. Has the Good Archaeological community overlooked them?
9 Responses to Exotic places
I've been reading into the history of America and i found something that i couldnt explain, there is a digsite in Heuyatlaco that would be 80-250,000 years old!? can that be explained or is it so called "Out of place"?
I was just wondering from where you get your evidence that the nonaguni formations are not man-made? I'm not challenging your point in any way, I'm just interested to know.
I am absolutely challenging his points…he doesn't have any. Lol this site is ridiculous the more I look at it. Here's your basic framework.
Fringe archeaologists believe A, B, and C. But did you know that a lot of scientists don't actually acknowledge it? Also, heres a roundabout article or thought or event that kind of sort of relates to A, B, and C, but doesn't actually debunk or even challenge it in any way! WHAT NOW BAD ARCHAEOLOGISTS?!?!??!?
Whenever I read comments I notice that the IQ of the poster seems to be inversely correlated with the use of upper case letters especially when accompanied by multiple punctuation marks.
First please define the "good" archaeological community. Also it might be helpful to name a few "bad" archaeologists who stand in opposition of opinion to the "good community" of archaeologists. Then give some clear and concise reasons why you have judged them "bad," and account for your opinion as to why you claim yourselves to be expert judges. Please include only professional archaeologists. If you are speaking of amateurs, magazine writers, and novelists, you should call them such, as they are not archaeologists.
I'm puzzled by your motivation here, I can see the value of 'debunking' the bad use of archeology for crank ideological purposes (creationism, ancient astronauts etc) but isn't you're approach just based on defending a rationalist Enlightenment ideology, which is just as bad? For instance in iron nails in coal, you say there *must* have been an entry hole. Worse it seem archeology has taken a Marxist direction with it emphasis on material culture, reflecting the politicization of academia. I'm not an archeologist but I'm from a philosophy background, so I appreciate rational arguments as well as the limits of reason. Doesn't it make more sense to problematize attempts at coherent explanations, which will always be ideologically based, whether fringe or mainstream, rather than defend them?

Dolly Mapp
The Kid Gets Bombed
The message was a bomb, and it exploded at 3 a.m., bouncing King and his girlfriend out of bed.
Sirens screamed to Kings house, at
King was a clearinghouse operator, in the dialect of the day. In other words, he ran a numbers game, better known as a lottery now that the old racket has been cloaked in government legitimacy.
King collected cash from numbers runners who took wagers in the neighborhoods, and he paid the occasional winner. On the side, he dabbled in bookmaking and loan-sharking, the cousins of the numbers racket.
The cops knew him well. He had resided in the city lockup for a time in 1954 after he was arrested for shooting a man to death. (The killing was deemed justifiable and King was released.)
Vice cops figured the bombing investigation was destined for the file cabinet overstuffed with permanently unsolved crimes involving the rogues of the
People in that line of work dont talk to cops, as a rule.
But King made history, as the Cleveland Plain Dealer put it.
He talked: Shondor Birns did this.
Alex (Shondor) Birns, a Jewish immigrant from
Birns had been sent up the river in 1954 for income tax evasion. By the time he got out of the joint 27 months later, Kid King and four other upstarts had honed in on the numbers turf. Birns sent goons around in October 1956 to suggest that each of the five should pay $200 a week to the boss, if they knew what was good for them.
Initially, all five agreed to pay.
But in December, a resentful Kid King reduced his weekly Birns payoff to $100, and in February, King stopped paying altogether, thumbing his nose at the tough Hungarian.
Shondor Birns sent the bomb as a reminder to King that he was in arrears.
King responded by naming Birns, his deputies, and his musclemen, some of whom came from
The names that cropped up included that of Virgil Ogletree. Cops asked around and learned that he often spent time at a home at
The homeowner there was named Dollree Mapp, better known as Dolly. Sgt. Carl Delau and two patrolmen from the vice squad were assigned to pay her a visit to jostle Ogletree.
Through this circuitous routea rackets debt, a bombing, a fink and a name--three cops showed up at Dolly Mapps door just after the lunch hour on May 23, 1957, three days after Kid King was bounced out of bed.
It was a knock on the door that would go down in American criminal justice history.

I was disappointed about going back to the "individual" method of scoring. We could have done three teams of two. Less people showing up also made it less interesting.

But also, when I got a closer look at her dress and could see the texture, the play on colors, the lace on wich the pattern is printed, the simple yet super elaborate cut, it reminded me that Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga doesn't express his talent only on the extremely dramatic clothes you see on the runways.
He is also a genius of everyday clothes.
That said, I'm off now, I just realised it's the sales in Paris! Arrrgh!!!

Movie News
A Feminist CARRIE Remake?
Nordling here.
Deadline is reporting that CARRIE will be remade over at MGM and that Kimberly Peirce is in talks to direct the Stephen King adaptation. The script was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who worked on the Broadway hit SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK. Peirce's previous films were the acclaimed Hilary Swank film BOY'S DON'T CRY, and STOP LOSS.
Obviously, a remake of Brian De Palma's classic movie will be a source of anger amongst fans of the original. De Palma's CARRIE is pretty much perfect the way it is - De Palma had a way to get to the pulpy center of King's work that no other director really has since, in a way. Movies based on King's work often miss more than they hit, but CARRIE, while a timeless movie, came out at a time when the world's attention was focused on women's issues.
Like THE EXORCIST before it, CARRIE explored a woman entering adulthood, but in a far different manner than THE EXORCIST did. I'm sure that United Artists didn't expect the film to become as successful as it did - the studio likely wanted a quickie horror movie to capitalize on all the EXORCIST hysteria. What they got was an undisputed classic.
The idea of a remake of King's book makes me wince, but it's also possible that this generation of young women don't have something like a CARRIE in their lives, and Peirce, who seems at touch with those issues, might offer an interesting take on the material. But the original was fairly feminist in its own right, and it's doubtful that De Palma's version will ever be topped, in my opinion.
Nordling, out.

by The_Genteel_Gentile
I'm not even a fan of Sofia Coppola at all, but I did like The Virgin Suicides a fair bit and could see that type of aesthetic serving Carrie well. Of course then pappa Francis would have to screen calls from an irate Brian De Palma demanding to know why Francis's daughter is meddling with his lagacy whilst threatening to stick his own offspring at the helm of an Apocalypse Now remake! Point being, let's not do this. Okay?

it is a classic film but it's not something I'm all that precious about. I think a remake done with some respect to the classic could work quite well. They would have to have a lead who is not all that attractive and very awkward.

As if this generation of women need any more reason to look down on men. Half are convinced by the older women in their lives, and the other half by the half of men these days that deserve their derision. All of them are inundated daily with endless examples in the media of men as oafs, foils, and clueless idiots, whether they be husbands, brothers, boyfriends, or, especially, fathers.

Interesting choice. Boys Don't Cry was great, Stop Loss was a mess. I'm a big De Palma fan and a fan of his Carrie movie, but this is one of those things where the source material is popular enough that a sequel doesn't bother me. And De Palma's best known film (Scarface) is a remake anyway, so I doubt he gives two shits about a remake.

All the men are portrayed as clueless, ineffectual, led by the women in their lives, or plain stupid. Carrie does destroy all the tormenters in her life, but does kill herself in the process. I guess you can't destroy an entire high scholl senior class and staff and get away with it.

We don't need a remake of Carrie...
by eustisclay
...but I wouldn't care if they remade The Fury. Carrie is kind of limited to the story but you can go anywhere with the Fury. I wonder though, if they are gonna be more faithful to the book. I know some think that means that they will destroy the town, but I wonder if they are gonna portray Carrie like she was in the book. You know, fat, pimpley, not even close to a prom queen.

remake SNAKE EYES, but with a crazier final act

That movie kept feeling like it was building to something glorious, but then it just kinda got all resolved in an underwhelming obvious detective movie way.

In this one, can she kill off Studio Execs who are remaking movies of their youth?
by Drath
Because there are other stories to be told, remakes of the movies that studio dipshits saw as teens are NOT the only material out there. Also, I don't know how Carrie relates to Feminism now. Maybe at the time it represented issues that weren't addressed like young girls being kept ignorant of their bodies and suffering terrible emotional abuse, but by now that's all very familiar news and not something you can sensationalize the same way. Plus, no offense, the original Carrie did nothing for me. It was a Twilight Zone episode with a little more gore/terror drawn out painfully longer than it needed to be--made worse that the "surprise" of what Carrie does at the Prom being well and good spoiled by the time I saw it. You can't duplicate that by remaking it though, not without changing it so much that it's just pandering to do it as a remake.

I'm not sure I get what you mean, although I read the novel some 30 years ago. I do recall it being quite different from the film, if anything for the style of storytelling.

A Carrie remake in a post-Columbine School shooting age? ROFL!
by spire_walk
I highly doubt the story about a teenager killing all of her bullies in school will make it unscathed to the big screen. If a bucket of blood gets dumped on Carrie at the end, it will be from the castration blood the studio script doctors give this movie.
Jan. 5, 2012, 3:03 p.m. CST

Surprised no one has mentioned the strong religious aspects...
by Darth Macchio
..so far it's all about bush and bullies and female empowerment but what I remember from the story (beyond Carrie not being a cute strawberry blonde ala Sissy Spacek) was the overwhelming manic socio-pathic mother of Carrie and her old testament hyper-extremist views. It's been a while since I've seen DePalma's film and I do recall her being religious but not nearly as much as in the book. I still feel sorriest for the creative talents writing original screenplays that no one would even consider unless some bigwig pushes it.

Darth, she had a scary-ass googly-eyed crucifix Jesus and was always raging about "dirty pillows", what more do you want?
by mdk
If Piper Laurie did the character the same way today, you'd have every nutcase in the South on DePalma's case and Bachmann could've extended her campaign 3 more weeks on the "controversy". Which just goes to show how far along this country is toward a theocracy. Not that the thumpers will ever get there, since a few months under 16th Century-style rule would make even those dumbass Occupy hippies put down the spliffs, leave their tents and pick up a brick.

Odd studios continue thinking remakes an easy bet
by Bass Ackwards
Footloose, Nightmare in Elm Street, Thing, Fright Night, all were at best mediocre performers at the box office no? Though I can imagine there's probably an additional revenue stream of DVD sales that comes with the heightened attention on the original films that adds an extra incentive.

by mayorofsmpleton
Is amazingly talented and I have a feeling if she does this project she'll bring something to the table we haven't seen before. It's not a REMAKE of DePalma's film (which is wonderful, BTW) but clearly a different adaptation of the King novel, which has YET to be done in a way that's closer to the original text. There was a sequel, which wasn't dreadful (wasn't great either) and a miniseries with Angela Bettis, that was well cast, but ultimately not very well done. The intent was to spin that mini into a TV series but ratings were average so it wasn't pursued. I see no reason why more adaptations of popular fiction shouldn't happen. Pierce is a very talented film-maker. Boys Don't Cry is one of the best films of that year and still rests on my top 10 list. Stop Loss wasn't as well received but it was certainly competently made and she's an artist at heart. She wouldn't pursue this project if she didn't think there was an angle worth exploring.

by Donald Callahan
has been writing the extremely-faithful comics adaptation of THE STAND for the last 3+ years. So the guy knows his King. And yeah, in addition to SPIDER-MAN, he's also a writer on GLEE. Which will probably simply inspire more hating on the guy, but it just might mean he's got a good deal of experience writing stories set in high school. Or who knows, maybe it means he's adapting the failed Broadway musical version of CARRIE... Either way, Nordling, you really should have done your research before posting this story.

Make Carrie a gay kids last name...
by Andrew Coleman
Sorry but gay kids get treated like shit in high school. You could add religious shit to it too. It would make the story more timely and it could work. They won't do it because a gay kid murdering ass holes in the end will piss off the middle of the country pretty badly. This remake seems so utterly pointless and as someone else has mentioned, haven't the recent remakes bombed in the box office?

Comments about SFH SO3+D3 Omega-3 Oil 10 ounce Nutrition:
I've been using this product for a little over a year now after trying a variety of Omega 3 / fish oil supplements. I prefer the lemon flavor and take it before bed nightly (5-6 pumps directly in my mouth). It greatly reduces my soreness and recovery time after workouts. I even bring it with me when traveling when I have the ability to keep it refrigerated. I highly recommend this product. It's well worth the cost.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Virginia Men's Basketball team is 8-3 on the season after falling 63-61 to Old Dominion Saturday and interestingly - all of their losses have come from the Colonial Athletic Association.
George Mason took out Virginia 63-59 in the season opener.
A few nights later, Delaware, a team with numerous Virginia natives on the roster, beat the 'Hoos at John Paul Jones Arena 59-53.
The Cavaliers say CAA teams always bring their "A" game to prove they can hang with an ACC team.
Freshman Guard, Tevin Jones said, "You can definitely tell that when we played George Mason and ODU that they gave their best effort out of any team they played because we're Virginia. We're in the ACC and they feel that they're below us and they want to prove to people that they're better than us. They just really out hustled us, out-toughed us and they came out with the win."
Evan Nolte had a career high 15 points against the Monarchs and added, "They're going to have a chip on their shoulder coming in. I definitely give credit to George Mason and ODU coming in. I think we didn't play as well as we wanted to but at the end of the day, they made the plays and we didn't."

Official: Suspect in custody in Boston bombings
BOSTON (AP) — A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation says a suspect has been taken into custody in the Boston Marathon bombings.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday. The official was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation.
The official says the suspect is expected in federal court in Boston.
Law enforcement agencies had earlier pleaded for the public to come forward with photos, videos or any information that might help them solve the twin bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 170 on Monday.
Investigators circulated information about the bombs, which involved kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and other lethal shrapnel. But the FBI said nobody had claimed responsibility.

Betty Broderick: Divorce... Desperation...Death
Shadow of a Doubt
There were some major differences in this trial, noticeable from day one, that leaned in favor of the prosecution. Kerry Wells, for one, seemed more relaxed this time, less scolding and obviously coached by veteran Deputy DA Paul Burakoff, who assisted her and whose presence lent an air of determination to the state's clear objective of Get Betty.
Jack Early found his defense much more difficult in trial number two. Several times the court refused to allow testimony that would have supported his client as being a victim of abuse. Early was appalled when a star witness, Dr. Daniel Sonkin, an expert on battered women's studies, was limited to speak of abuse in very general terms and not in terms of Betty's particular case. It was the judge's contention that there was no hint of Betty being a victim of other than perhaps emotional abuse, not physical nor sexual.
Mid-trial, Early dropped a bombshell that sent Wells and the prosecutors off their litigant chairs. He raised the possibility that Dan Broderick may at one point tried to have Betty murdered. A city cab driver named Paul Taylor had come forth claiming that Dan had approached him, musing to have Taylor do away with the vexsome wife "permanently," to quote the cabbie for about $500,000. Newspapers rushed forward, braced for a juicy story and a rambunctious turn of events in the courtroom, but no sooner had the smoke of Early's blast cleared than the court objected and banned Taylor and any further word of hit men from the trial. Taylor would only produce misleading cues, said Judge Whelan, since Betty had no knowledge of any such external activities and this was not Dan Broderick's trial, but Betty's.
Early raged, but the trial seemed to slide downhill for him from that point.
However, the outcome proved that the notion of reasonable doubt that Early had hoped to seed in the heads of the talismen had indeed been planted. After all the fuss and flying feathers and the reinventing of the wheel that the prosecutors had caused in its second trial, the resulting verdict proved to be not much more than a compromise: guilty of second-degree murder.
Early was pleased, but he pointed out to the newspapers that had his defense not been quagmired he believed the jury's decision would have been no more than manslaughter.
The Broderick family were not happy campers. Dan's brother, Larry, seated in a San Diego Irish bar afterward, angrily told reporters, "What's the matter with a system that allows this woman to threaten these people dozens of times...blow them away in their sleep and that's not murder one in this goddamn country?"
As for Betty, she stood mixed between relief and sadness. The court recognized her struggle, but condemned her resolve. She had not expected to walk out free, but the two consecutive fifteen-years-to-life sentences she received wouldn't allow her parole for nineteen years.
Today, Prisoner Number W42477 continues to tend to her various responsibilities menial and then some that are required of any prisoner at the Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla. She has resigned herself to her daily fate of routine mornings and early bedtimes, and keeps her eyes and hope on the year 2011, the date of her first possible parole. Her children do not visit, but she still sees a man named Brad Wright, whom she met during her separation period.
In a recent interview with Lexxicon, she sounds rather upbeat: "I am kept very busy in here. I am forced to 'program' from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., then we have meals, showers, laundry, phone calls...I try to tutor ladies in the GED exam (and) am very active in my 'community,' serving on boards and committees just like home...I am very well liked and respected...I don't live in fear."
But, with a twist of emotion peppered with lingering bitterness, she adds, "Goddamn shame you can only feel safe and free in prison! Nice society we have!"

Blaydon traders fear the worst
Traders in part of Gateshead say work to build a new supermarket close to a busy shopping centre is driving business away.

|The Story of the Great War, Volume IV (of 8)
|Home - Random Browse
"Before them stretches a new country. Broader plains, lower ranges of hills than in Galicia. To the right and left, as far as the eye reaches, fields, meadows, and swamps. Here and there, windmills. Immense forests, different from those they knew at home: pines, oaks, and birches, all mixed together, with some ash-trees and poplars, only slightly cut down and low of growth. The retreating Russians have tried everywhere to burn down forest and field, but have destroyed in most places only narrow strips and small spots that look now like islands: there the trees have been bared of their foliage in the middle of the summer as if it were the early spring, and the pines are red and brown like beech trees in the winter time. Every few miles trenches and shelters had been cut into the landscape and ran across field and forest, hills and valleys, masterpieces of their kind, cunningly hidden, partly untouched. Alongside the road there were many, many soldiers' graves, singly or sometimes combined into small cemeteries. The Russians bury their dead with devotion. Double-armed Greek crosses betray their burial places.... But not always did they find time during their retreat. Occasionally a penetrating odor of decay announces the fact that some of their dead had to be deprived of burial. Then, very rarely only, indeed, one comes across black, swollen corpses, so terribly gnawed and disfigured by millions of small crawling animals, that all individuality, all humanity, has been destroyed.

Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson could not have played any better in their afternoon four-ball match, and the scoreboard showed it. They pummeled Paul Lawrie and Peter Hanson, 5&4, to get the USA the first point of Friday afternoon and a 3-2 lead on the Europeans at the 2012 Ryder Cup.
By the time that the teams got to the turn, Watson and Simpson were already 6-up. They won the first two holes and never looked back, also winning the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth holes to take complete command of the match.
Watson started the afternoon by asking the crowd to cheer on the first tee and to keep the cheering going as he teed up. That got the crowd into the match and got the USA team going. Watson was predictably huge off the tee and was marvelous around the greens, while Simpson was steady from the first tee to the final green.
The hot start by Watson and Simpson helped spark a big afternoon for the Americans. All four USA teams took leads in the afternoon as they try to become the first team to sweep an afternoon since 1989.

Tina Fey Explains What 'Crazy Lady' Really Means in Hollywood
"The definition of 'crazy' in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one want to fuck her anymore."

"The definition of 'crazy' in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one want to fuck her anymore."
Last night Tina Fey attempted Little Edie.
The bests and worsts from the night's sartorial offerings, from nice to naughty to nonsensical.
Let us know who you think needs to have a serious talk with their stylist tomorrow.
See which stars talked about hitting the sauce and who actually showed up tipsy, on our video roundup.
As Liz Lemon would say, "Nerds!" (Because, you see, it's actually made from Nerds.)
Like the joke about Sarah Palin, rape kits, and evolution.
Funny, self-deprecating, inspiring, and just a little bit mean.
Telling truth to fake-pastry power.
Called "All My Nights I've Been Waiting," off the 30 Rock double-CD soundtrack out November 16
Plus, Tina Fey dusts off her Sarah Palin, on our regular late-night roundup.
From songs to faux ads, here's everything that got changed.
Plus: Chilean miners' rescue calls for #fistpumps.
On display at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Plus, Jay Leno tells Casey Affleck that he can always tell when David Letterman is cranky, on our regular late-night roundup.
Everyone who's anyone, and anyone who's dressed.
We hope so?
Also out: A definitively weird portrait of once-underground comics legend R. Crumb and his deeply strange family.
Remember how beautiful clothes and hairstyles were back in the nineties?
Plus: Of course Tom Hardy has had sex with a man.
'Mommy & Me': officially happening!
Plus: Bob Dylan's son says some stuff.
Or one about the Jews.
It's called 'Mommy & Me.'
A taste of Tina Fey's family life, brought on by Bristol Palin's big news.

The Affordable Care Act is working for Virginia
To the Editor:
In the last two years of fierce debate over the health care law, we've lost sight of the urgent problems that drove Washington to seek a solution. Too many families in Virginia couldn't afford insurance, especially here in Petersburg. Insurance companies denied coverage to people because of pre-existing medical conditions, and too many insured families would find that when they needed coverage most - a diagnosis of cancer, a sudden heart attack - their plan had stifling limits on the coverage they could get and the dollar value covered. Businesses, particularly small employers, were overwhelmed by the cost of insurance, and fewer were providing coverage.
The law hasn't solved every problem but it's already helping millions of Virginia families in Virginia and more than 100 million people nationwide. Other major provisions will take effect in the next couple years.
Whether you realize it or not, you, a family member, a friend, a coworker, or your employer are already benefiting from the law. Before the law, your insurance company could put annual or lifetime limits on your coverage. Often people experiencing serious illness or injury would find their coverage maxed out in the most desperate times. Lifetime limits are banned now, helping 2.9 million Virginia, and annual limits are on their way out.
Before the law, insurance companies could investigate people with high health bills to look for reasons to cancel their coverage. Today, insurers can't "rescind" your policy when you need it most because of an innocent mistake you made when filling out your initial enrollment form.
Before the law, children with health conditions could be denied coverage. Today, insurers aren't allowed to refuse to cover a sick kid. And young adults won't get thrown off their parents' insurance, either, when they're trying to get on their feet. Nearly 54,000 young adults in Virginia and 2.5 million young people around the country have gained or kept their health coverage because of this law.
To help shield families and small businesses from unwarranted premium increases, the health reform law creates a requirement that insurers must spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on actual health care expenses. Health insurance companies are still fighting against the 80/20 rule - fighting for the right to keep of much of your premium as they can. But today, if an insurer fails to meet this standard, the policyholder will be refunded the difference. That alone is expected to put $2 billion in the pockets of small businesses and consumers.
More than 86 million people in private insurance and Medicare have a guarantee of preventive health benefits, including over 1.5 million privately-insured people and 837,644 seniors in Virginia. The law also requires preventive services to be provided without cost-sharing, so that cost is not a factor in ensuring that your family gets basic health-saving and cost-saving care. Seniors also have new drug discounts. In 2011, seniors saved more than $2 billion on prescription drug costs, thanks to the health law. In Virginia, 81,535 saved $48,949,685.
In 2014, additional insurance reforms will go into effect. Insurers will not be allowed to exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions for adults. They will not be able to deny you coverage or charge you more because you are sick. And with the creation of health insurance exchanges, you will be able to purchase coverage in a marketplace where private insurance companies will have to compete for your business based on price and quality. Coverage will be affordable with the help of income-based tax credits and limits on the amount they are required to contribute to premiums.
We've all experienced outrageous rate hikes from our insurance companies that appear to be unjustified. Thanks to the health care law, insurance companies will not be able to enact rate hikes deemed unreasonable. Just this week, the department of Health and Human Services rejected proposed rate increases from two Assurant-owned insurance companies who had planned on raising rates as much as 15 percent in Virginia. Thanks to a provision of the health care law called rate review, consumers finally have some transparency and control over health insurance premiums.
For those Virginians without insurance, the law will provide an expansion of Medicaid to cover those who cannot afford care and do not get insurance through their employer. In the meantime, the health care law is supporting Community Health Center, which provide vital services to those who could not otherwise get care. In fact, because of the health care law, Virginia has already received $48.6 million for its Community Health Centers
For too long, insurance companies have denied coverage to those who need it most, while relentlessly increasing premiums. Those days are coming to an end. If we step back and take a look at the two years of this law, it's not perfect but it's providing benefits everyday. Let's push forward and make it better.
Sandra A. Cook
Chairperson, Virginia Organizing

To help Fayetteville Street's image during construction, Charter Square Developers will place a wrap around the construction site.
City Council approved the idea Aug. 5, allowing the company to put a wrap on the construction fencing.
According to a press release, the wrap will promote the Charter Square project and provide a telephone number to obtain leasing information. The new wrap will be up before the Raleigh Wide Open 3 Celebration in downtown on Sept. 5-6.
Charter Square Developers is constructing an approximately $130 million mixed-use office, retail and residential complex on Fayetteville and Lenoir streets.
The City of Raleigh also will be "wrapping" the fencing around the City Plaza when work begins on the project in mid-September, according to a press release.

I liked it, and got a lot out of it. It actually explained a lot to me about myself.
Why I had several of the attitudes and weaknesses I had.
Others didn't like it, or the message, so much.
[This message edited by TrustedHer at 12:30 PM, July 16th (Monday)]
Don't think I'll be in the latter category as I'm currently on my own little "whatever it takes to change" crusade.
[This message edited by PanicAttack53 at 3:12 PM, July 16th (Monday)]
It's actually pretty awesome.
end t/j
I of course want my WS to work on his dishonesty, passiveness, lack of ability to say no (to anyone but me), his porn addiction and unspoken expectations for when he does something nice - it has strings attached but I often don't know what they are and he feels like a victim.
The part of the book that scares me is that it tells men that they can demand sex, threaten to leave if they don't get it, be selfish, etc. As someone recovering from his cheating and lying as well as the effects of a giant porn addiction...I feel a lot of pressure to not take care of my own emotional needs because he is being told that its okay to expect me to give him what he wants no matter how I'm feeling.
There is a NMMNG forum and I have read some of it. Most of the men over there sound abusive and selfish. I almost cry when I read some of the threads about how wives don't give them the sex they want. . . the men sound emotionally abusive and I don't know how the women survive. (Maybe thats why so many of the men are divorcing their wives at the end of long threads). They are calling their wives all kinds of names that sound unloving, uncaring, and cold. It seems that those "nice guys" are not nice AT ALL.
It actually helped me quite a bit when I was struggling with false R to make me realize that I didn't have to put up with her insane and abusive behavior.
It seems that those "nice guys" are not nice AT ALL.
As for sex, I tried for years to be a better husband in hopes of being rewarded with sex. I did things for stbx, I indulged her, I ignored my needs and wants. really, when sex between us dropped to once a month or less I should have seen thta as a sign that she was no longer in love with me, and if we were not able to work out our (her) issues, then I should have left the M back then. I think thta point is that is sex is important to one of the partners it should be a part of the M, not just something one partner does as a reward or to apease the other.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON – Participating in 4-H is not just a fun activity for 16-year-old Alicia Kabat of Scheller.
The program has also helped her come out of her shell and be more comfortable in social situations. Kabat has been a 4-H member for about eight years and has gained much from the experience.
"I just really blossomed myself. I was a really shy kid," Kabat said. "(In 4-H), you learn how to deal with animals in a respectful way and you learn how to deal with people in a respectful way. … It's all-around a neat experience."
Kabat is one of about 120 area kids who will compete in the upcoming Jefferson County 4-H Fair, which kicks off with a general projects show from 8:30 to 11 a.m. July 19 at Times Square Mall. The fair runs through July 27 and includes a wide variety of judged competitions and activities.
The general projects show is where 4-H members build displays or make presentations in several categories, including food, sewing and textiles, natural resources, visual and performing arts, woodworking, fashion, and more.
"Most of it is hands-on, actually making something," said Carla Chesnek, the Jefferson County 4-H program coordinator. "The 4-H Fair is a culmination of all they have learned throughout the year."
The fair will also have many livestock and animal shows, as well as a bike show, crops show, tractor driving contest, and livestock auction.
Carla's daughter, Taryn Chesnek, 14, of Woodlawn, will have a number of general projects in the show. Her categories include visual arts, sewing and textiles, cooking, and veterinary science. For the food category, Taryn has made two kinds of jam that will be featured in the competition. She will also take part in the goat and dairy shows.
"We learn responsibility and leadership and I like being with animals and being with my friends," Taryn Chesnek said of the fair.
Reagan Edward Newell, 11, of Bonnie will show his dog, Milo, in an obedience competition and will also complete woodworking and art projects. He said 4-H is a very worthwhile activity.
"I think it really gives me something to do over the summer so you're not just sitting around," Newell said.
This will be Blake Kiselewski's last year in 4-H. The 19-year-old will compete in the sheep, cattle and goat shows. He said he has especially enjoyed serving as a mentor for younger 4-H members, teaching them how to shear and show their sheep.
"I've learned a lot through the years and I hope I've been teaching the younger kids," said Kiselewski, a Woodlawn resident. "This is my last Jefferson County Fair as a 4-H-er, but I'll still come back and help everybody."
One of the more challenging competitions is the master showmanship contest where members have to show a cow, a pig, and a sheep, Carla Chesnek said.
"It really stretches their showmanship skills to do three different animals," she said.
The horse shows are also quite difficult, particularly the trail class competition where members have to maneuver their horse through different obstacles, Chesnek said
All in all, though, the main objective of the 4-H Fair is for kids to have fun.
"Just coming out and having a good time and having the kids compete in the different project areas," Chesnek said. "These kids get really attached to the animals."

Like everyone else I was disappointed when we traded Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey for Batum, but then I realized something that actually becomes blatantly obvious...we were never going to get Arthur!
Houston was probably going to just pick him themselves until we made them our accomplices in hamburgling (oh yeah, I did just type that) San Antonio.
So there you have it. KP was not taken for a ride, in fact he just used the #33 to move up 2 spots and snag the prospect SF that he targeted. Unfortunately the players from those picks just so happened to be guys that BEdgers really wanted, making it hard to really look into what just happened.
Anyway it was a great draft, and I am already SO PUMPED about next season!

Big thanks to my dad for opening this growler on Christmas.
The beer pours a very dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is very nice. I get a ton of bourbon and chocolate notes, as well as some roasted malt. As the beer warms, some other notes from the barrel aging come through including maple and vanilla. Overall, the beer smells boozy.
The flavor is also very complex. What comes through first is the booze and the bourbon notes, but the vanilla and maple are also quite prominent. The roasted malt is a strong player in the flavor, but the chocolate is not as strong as in the aroma. As the beer warms some nice dark fruit notes begin to make an appearance and they go very well with the other notes.
Medium to thick mouthfeel and low to medium carbonation. An outstanding beer overall. Very happy that I got to try this one.

A physics professor at the University of Washington says he believes he and other scientists have devised a way of investigating whether we all live in a massive computer simulation, reported the Seattle Times.
The question of whether we actually live in a simulated world was put forth by a philosophy professor at the University of Oxford in 2003, although he later said there was likely no way to know either way.
Martin Savage now claims we may be able to know for sure whether that theory is correct, a pursuit he undertook after a conversation with his colleagues piqued his interest. "This is certainly a different scenario for how our universe works — but nonetheless, it's quite plausible," he told the paper.
The process could work by identifying a "signature," or some pattern, of "resource constraints" that happen in small computer simulations. In other words, the theory goes, because there must be constraints on a simulation due to finite resources, scientists should theoretically be able to locate something amiss — such as cosmic rays failing to travel as they should.
However, the test wouldn't be conclusive, rather simply "a beginning" to "stimulate further work," he told the paper.
