For those confused here, I derided the internet abbreviation "TLDR," which means "too long, didn't read." I said it was a a succinct modern confession of shallowness.
So, yeah. I can see where it might be a deserved putdown, though the context in which I had just read it was not that; it was in response to a thoughtful analysis of something.
Write to me at email@example.com
Yeah, this is exactly the problem. There is no way that law will be enforced without obvious racial profiling. I'd NEVER be asked to show papers.
Well, I might be because I could plausibly be middle eastern.
Okay, Johnny Carson NEVER would have been asked.
I think a woman has a right to do anything she wants with a very early fetus. I think it's not healthy to use it as a form of birth control. But my views on abortion, very early, are unequivocal. The more we ask a woman "why" the more we are violating her privacy, and her rights to her own body.
Yeah, I think "no limits" is a very loose designation. There are limits in the United States, too.
Assume you are familiar with this website since it touches on topics dear to your chat, but sending it along just in case,
I have not seen this before, and will spend time with it. It does remind me of a conversation I once had with an old man who grew up in the rural south and informed me that one of the great secrets of the world, and plagues of modernity, was that NOTHING works better in the bathroom than an old corncob. He explained this with great specificity, to the point that I got uncomfortable.
But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense. Has anyone within the reach of these pixels used a corncob?
Not at all. Ford was boring. Carter was very interesting, at first. He was a famer and a nuclear scientist, as I recall. Great, interesting mother. This was a very clear choice for cool. He turned out to be more boring and wishy-washy than we'd thought.
I didn't get it at ALL.
They can't pass restrictions that go beyond Roe v. Wade, and subsequent limiting decisions. But yes, in general this map is over summarizing. The key is that a woman can abort for any reason EARLY. First trimester, our Supreme Court has not yet nullified this.
Before I publish the answer, write back and explain why you say this. I am not sure you are getting it. And it is not really a "trick." It is completely fair.
Okay. I just need time to think about it, and consult Von Drehle, my personal historian.
Correct. Now let's see if people who didn't get it can figure out why it is 2.
You're right about the second point, but wrong about the first. "Debarkation Day" is a common misconception, but it's a misconception. The strip got it right. All invasions happen a D day and H hour.
Oddly enough, there was some discussion online on whether this strip was disrespectful, somehow, to the dead. Or the country. Or something. Not sure why anyone felt that, but some did.
It's kind of amazing how professional, fair and breathtakingly FUNNY FishbowlDC is. But you're right, the most remarkable achievement is their maturity and their unnerving ability to land big stories that others don't get, completely changing the landscape of journalism in the nation's capital. They're never in the sort of situation where they just don't KNOW anything, and can't find OUT anything because no one will talk to them anymore; therefore, they're never reduced to baseless snarking and adolescent-level sarcasm to hide their inability to actually report. That's the main thing.
And yes, all real journalists envy Betsy. We just don't have her talent and writing ability, or her ability to surround herself with such luminous talent. What that website has, frankly, is class.
They are so good, and fair, that journalists would happily criticize them publicly, if there were anything to criticize, which there isn't. No one would be afraid of Betsy relentlessly savaging them back in an infantile fashion, just to punish criticism and provoke reaction. That's because she's just not that kind of person. She's a pro. All journo men want her, and all journo women want to be her.
Haha. Just kidding. No, I'm not. That was too long. Except your point is exactly right. If I haven't made it here before, I meant to. It was a brilliant slogan that they are completely ruining with their inflection. Someone needs to do something about it.
Anyone else having this problem?
Interesting. At least to me.
I like it, but it's not really a measure of obesity since it is weight only and not girth. There are plenty of offensive linemen who weigh in at a taft or more, but aren't obese.
Technically yes. You win. But I think we all know what we mean here.
Yes, sorry.
The simplest answer is that we wanted a child because it would be an interesting bite to take out of life, and because we didn't want to die alone. I wanted a second child, mostly, in case one died.
I know that sounds horrible, but I am being honest.
Huh? You are arguing against logic.
Pro-life is a misnomer. I don't accept it at all. I am pro life, but I am also pro-choice. I think life is good. Pro-life is a loaded term. Anti-abortion is not. Someone who is pro-choice is not in favor of abortion. I would much prefer that there are fewer abortions.
Pro-life is one of the most loaded terms out there.
My, what a sour person you are.
You are wrong. In the first cartoon, the Godfather answer is VASTLY superior to the others, and very good, because it creates a hilarious mental image. But it didn't win. The "younger crowd" one did.
The second group is more interesting. The top three responses are the three finalists -- none has been chosen yet. The second two are my entries -- I actually sent them in --that were not chosen. To me the funniest is the one so few of you chose: It's the same idea as the "immigration policy" but this is not a country, it's a GATED COMMUNITY. Thus, riff-raff, and "I move" as though dealing with stilted condo rules.
Explain why this was not the best. I am all ears. Willing to be put down and lectured and whatnot.
Yes, he was arguably a genocidal maniac, but most historians agree he was a vitally important president; he was the first president who was not an anointed aristocrat. He was the first people's president; he changed the very nature of the office, and our assumptions of what it took to be a president.
You should be proud!
The amazing thing about Piano Man is that it has one of the worst lyrics ever written and one of the best. The very last line of that song is a killer. Pure poetry.
Good. Why not complain to the guy in front of you? Or pass him our card?
Okay, but don't we know certain things about many of these countries? Intuitively?
Ask yourself which makes more sense.
Ask yourself, in fact, whether what you have been saying all your life makes ANY sense.
Hm. I see your point. I strongly suspect that none of this was crystal clear to the average German soldier. The SS knew what they were doing; you're not a hero if you die during ethnic cleansing.
But your common grunt who dies defending Berlin? I think in the fog of that sort of war, I can appreciate the bravery, for a cause that seemed patriotic.
Thank you.
aptonym in 6th graf this story about efforts to discourage alcohol abuse: Link
Wow. First-class aptonym! A plus.
Gene - I saw this story today and for some reason, immediately thought of you. Have you ever heard of this? Link - Apparently, it's a way to help fight C. diff by transplanting the good bacteria from one persons feces into the colon of the infected person.
Do you seriously think I have never addressed this subject???
I wouldn't call that a "trick." In fact, it announced what it was, in a very valuable hint.
And I don't know the origin. Maybe it was Ebenezer Pillsbury.
Romney is amazingly unlikeable. I haven't quite put my finger on why, except that he seems like a total phony. My only reservation is that Ann Romney seems to have seen something in him.
Excellent. And yes, that's the answer. Just count the circles.
Wow. Thanks! Good work. Yes, I have been fascinated by the drinking duck for most of my adult life.
I have another column coming out on it, I believe this weekend. I shan't tell you what it is, but it will make you cry.
I don't even UNDERSTAND that answer.
Well, wait a minute. I think most Americans, including anti-abortion people, would draw a line at circumstances where the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
I look at the countries that don't draw that line and can very easily say, bad country.
Wow. I love this!
You know, I have received a lot of emails from women saying that Gina's point in this column was right on target. I thought she was mostly playing this for laughs, and stretching, but she says no, as do several readers.
I think I judge other cultures to a great degree based on empathy or lack of empathy.
And mine to you.
Gene - Sally Jenkins recently held a chat discussion about Lance Armstrong and the recent allegations of doping. She acknowledges a friendship with Armstrong that affects her ability to be impartial. When asked whether it was ethical for her to host a chat on this topic, she responded that not answering the questions would be "ducking." What say you, Gene? Is this ethical journalistic conduct? Does the fact that it is a chat make a difference?
I think it's quite reasonable for her to attempt the chat, attempt objectivity, confess the possibility of bias, and let the readers judge for themselves. Where's the sin?
Your use of "she comes first" is poetry.
Really. You have to judge him against the times. Remember how many great presidents had slaves.
I have a bigger problem with Wilson, who served too late to excuse his problems with race. Wilson was a shocking bigot.
Smarmy is a good word. People said that about Gore, but I don't think that was quite the right word. Gore was haughty.
Ha! Well, I linked to a website about poop, so that might be why. They had the column.
It's a column in which I interviewed the doctor who pioneered in fecal transplantation. His name, I swear, is "Dr. Aas."
I believe the best comedy ever on TV was The Honeymooners. More ahead of its time.
"So you want to be President" is a terrific kids' book about the presidents with some excellent drawings. It's a kids' book, so it's not all that deep, but it's interesting and full of fun facts about all the presidents, e.g., who played the violin, who was short/tall, who was born/raised in a log cabin, etc. The drawings alone are worth the price. Link
Yep. It is poetry because of what it delivers.
The suggestion is that he is too good to be playing in that bar. The first extra thing it delivers is that the person asking the question has low self-esteem.
But the main thing it delivers is what you understand from the song, deeply: He DOES belong there. He is one of them, one of the lonely.
I submitted the second in someone else's name.
Nice. It almost makes sense.
This is in reference to an alter-ego of mine on Twitter.
1. I think he or she is excellent. Creepily my opposite.
2. Have no idea who it is.
3. There will be a column about this in two weeks.
Get something out. Bull through. Do NOT freak. Write something even if it sucks. Because it might not.
Not the zeroes. The circles. The closed loops.
I think the hookup is between Davey, and the guy who "never had time for a wife." Was that also the real estate novelist?
Nope. He's too cool for school. He is the coolest guy in the room.
I say this while being quite disappointed in him.
Oh, we presume he is talented. The key is that he is metaphorically belonging in a place of desperation and loneliness.
This is a very educational chat. No employer would begrudge it at all.
Today was about ... American history!
And corncob toilet paper.
Ah, right. Well, that could have been solved by drawing the fours open. Without a closed loop.
I'm not seeing this: Amazon tells me the Kindle versions of foth "The Fiddler on the Subway" and "Old Dogs" are one buck cheaper. No? Old Dogs is not a good Kindle idea, though: The photos are important.
Have you seen this, on a small number of women who can see colors the rest of us can't? I seem to remember you writing an article about how women see more color than men...
Interesting. Yes, the theory is that because, in the animal world -- particularly birds -- males tend do be more colorfully plumaged, the females need the better color perception to distinguish among mates.
Gene, check out this mugshot. Again... Florida!!! Here are some of my observations: 1. You'd have to be a real pinhead to think you could get away with that crime; 2. The whole trial will be a pain in the neck; 3. I hope he can shoulder the responsibility of his sentence
Wow. That is a mugshot!
It's not exactly having a beer with. FDRoosevelt was probably too aristocratic for people to feel comfortable with -- they'd probably think he'd be aloof. Grant was downright disagreeably terse. But they were both "cool" in that they were interesting, commanding, whatnot.
I don't know. I have been going to the gym almost every day, race-walking a mile or two. I have not lost a pound. I think I am getting heavier, but not fatter, hammies.
There is one way to do this. It is what I recommend. Make it about you. Tell him that he is causing you pain and jeopardizing your marriage, which sounds like the truth. Ask him to see a therapist to save you pain, and save your marriage. If he still doesn't, you have a next step.
I agree. To me a country that is repressive to women is a "bad" country. I feel this is not culturally chauvinistic at all. There are certain universal truths.
Interesting story!
Obviously, you are preaching to the choir.
Oh, he is terrifically thoughtful and eloquent. I like him enormously and will of course vote for him. I think he is a good man who means what he says, usually.
I think he's made some mistakes and shown greater weakness in certain areas than I expected. Of course, my expectations were outsized.
I dealt in great detail with Nixon, mentioning both races.
Agreed. Maybe the greatest political autobiography ever.
Who do the Skins play in that?
yeah, the real enemy is indecision.
Question: Which 3 countries do not use the metric system? The other important issue where we are out of sync with the rest of the world is the death penalty: Link
Poop only ceases to be funny with Crohn's disease, rectal cancer, and whatnot.
Link - "After we published all these requirements, we received data showing that manufacturers wouldn't be able to fully implement all the requirements until December of this year for most products," says the FDA's Reynold Tan.
Thank you.
You're referring to this column, in which I created an accurate transcript of my conversation with Murphy, and a mouse.
Murphy has a whole array of barks, brays, and yowls, too. Supposedly, this is an adaptation of the hound so individual hunters can identify their individual dogs during a chase. I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense.
Gladly. I think he made a big mistake in Margaritaville in changing the last line, progressing the sequence in each stanza. It was too "cute."
Just this morning, The Rib asked me if it was "the couple plans..." or "the couple plan"
I think the first is technically correct, but I would write the second.
My secret is that I start answering questions, and writing the intro, at 4 in the morning. Shhh.
This is actually true, as poor Haley can attest.
Okay we're down. Thank you all, and see you in the updates.

Fat-free, sugar-free, weird chemicals-free strawberry cobbler bars!
This recipe is based loosely off this. However, I used pureed dates instead of the apple sauce and brown sugar, and strawberries instead of raspberries.
-1.5 oat flour (grind old fashioned or quick oats in food processor)
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2-2/3 cup dates (i think I used a little more than half a cup of whole-pitted dates but I did not use all of the puree)
-equal amount of hot water as dates
-1.5 tsp cinnamon
-2 cups whole strawberries
-2 tbsp honey or agave
-2 tsp cornstarch
-1 tsp vanilla extract
Go: Preheat oven to 350 faranheit
1.Puree the dates and hot water in a blender. Blend until smooth
2. Mix puree, oat flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder together in a bowl
3. grease an 8X8 baking pan with non-stick spray
4. take half the dough mixture and press into the pan making a thin layer. Took make this easier, I scooped half the mixture into the pan, then used a sheet a wax paper on top and pressed it with my hands to spread it evenly.
5. slice strawberries into thin slices, mix with honey, cornstarch, and vanilla.
6. spread mixture on top of the base in the pan
7. crumble the remaining dough mixture on top. If you want more coverage, sprinkle some more unground oats, granola, pumpkin seeds, etc. on top
8. Bake at 350 farenheit for 35 minutes.
9. Let cool and cut into 12 squares.
Each square comes out to 76 calories.

n. when your dream about someone you know skews how you feel about them all the next day, an emotion you are unable—and unwilling—to shake.
n. when your dream about someone you know skews how you feel about them all the next day, an emotion you are unable—and unwilling—to shake.
n. the intense desire to bite deeply into the forearm of someone you love.
n. the half-forlorn, half-escapist ache of a train whistle calling in the distance at night.
Q. "Are these words real or do you make them up?"
Both. They're real words, that are made up by me. I use the standard of realness established by lexicographer Erin McKean:
"People say to me, 'How do I know if a word is real?' You know, anybody who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it. That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an arbitrary distinction; it doesn't make a word any more real than any other way. If you love a word, it becomes real."
Q. "No but seriously. I tried looking up some of them in other dictionaries, and I only found a genus of salamanders. Are these real words?"
If you find a word here that you can't find in other dictionaries, please know that it's not your fault—they might just be out of date. Please find them a good home, or donate them to your local public library.
If, however, you find a word that sounds as if someone just made it up, rest assured: it was. Just like every other word in the English language. If you trace back the etymology of every word we speak—and vow and teach and kill and die for—each one began its life as a barbaric yawp, untamed and untranslatable, born in the dirt, starving, hysterical, naked, dragging itself from tongue to tongue for centuries before it could get its foot in the door of the lexicon.
Q. "why read words you just made up?"
I admit, it's perfectly alright to express yourself using only the words you inherited from your parents. It's alright to put ketchup on everything, and only dance ironically, and never learn another language, and never fight and never make mistakes. It's alright to go to a party and only talk to the people you know. It's alright if you climb back down the waterslide, and wait ten years before you tell someone how you felt about them. It's alright to die in your bed, leaving a vault of treasure that goes to the state.
But if you listen closely, many of the words we use to keep our lives afloat are now hulking derelicts, rust-eaten and bullet-holed, piled up with so much baggage and barnacles they're sinking beneath our feet. We should cut them adrift, set them ablaze and let them rest; they've done their work.
Q. "How do you come up with the words?"
Etymologies are discussed in detail on the facebook page. Each word actually means something etymologically, having been built from one of a dozen languages or renovated jargon. For example, aimonomia is French (aimer, to like + nom, name) and a palindrome.
Q. "How do I pronounce them?"
Yeah, I don't know. As with words like caramel and pajamas, there are many possible pronunciations. All are acceptable. It is my experience that each of us tends to think and speak in our own strange dialect anyway.
Sure, our words mostly overlap, but their meanings are fundamentally unique, which makes them untranslatable. In fact, an unabridged Dictionary of Obscure Sorrowswould be several miles thick, and would include billions of sub-definitions and individual pronunciations, very like the Tower of Babel. Accordingly, the author recommends that you pronounce them according to your best judgment.
That said, anecdoche is properly pronounced /əˈnɛkdəki/.
Q. "Wait, some of these aren't sad. Sonder, for example. Why are they called sorrows?"
Because I have my own definition of the word:
sorrow, noun
1. an unspoken intensity of feeling.
2. a spark of transcendence that punctuates the flatlining banality of everyday life.
3. a healthy kind of ache—like the ache in your muscles after hard exercise—that reminds you that your body exists.
So, I think most people instinctively think of a spectrum of good or bad emotions, like a spectrum from blue to red. But I think there's another axis that's more important: blankness to intensity. At one end is depression, in which everything feels dead, even the big things. At the other end is wonder, in which everything feels alive, even the little things.
As a bit of trivia, the word sad originally meant "full, sated." Which means satisfaction and sadness are cousins, both etymologically and emotionally.
Q. "Are you writing a book version?"

Chimneys & Foundations
Originally posted on Casa Buena Builders - Providence, RI:
Over the past few months, we have undertaken two moderate size masonry projects. The first, a chimney on the Southside of Providence – on a slate roof with entricate design details. Second, an old stone and brick foundation that was on the verge of collapse.
The existing chimney was crumbling, with the entire back having been broken off. The chimney was rebuilt by Jared and Kurtis – with help from the ground from a myriad of employees. The area surrounding the chimney had to be completely staged, and the entire project took about a week and a half. The chimney was rebuilt with a mixture of the original bricks and a new brick created to have a weathered look. The mortar was a lime, sand and white Portland cement mix, with a touch of dye to darken the bright white.
The existing foundation suffered greatly from heavy erosion…

Roofing Geometry for Unusual Roof Penatrations
Originally posted on Casa Buena Builders - Providence, RI:
Victorian houses are beautiful no doubt, but they often present complicated rooflines that require above average designs for flashing. This problem is one such example. We were recently commissioned to rebuild this chimney and flash in properly with permanent roofing techniques. This means no solder, no sealant, and NO cutting corners. The difficulty in this fabrication is created by a hip intersecting the chimney on the rear corner. The roof pitch is 10:12 which would be very simple to flash if there wasn't a hip cutting through the flashing right where a seam is required.
Since we are using a fillet seam, all the transitions and angles must be found in the flat before the pattern is cut out and formed…
First we draw a plan or top-down view:
From the plan we are able to create two sections or side views:
There is one key ingredient missing here though…

Minimum Wage – A Construction Perspective
The minimum wage debate has been raging, without a ton of fanfare, in Washington D.C. Recently, Seattle, WA voted and approved a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour, to be raised gradually over time. Workers rejoice, businesses groan, but what does this mean?
Obviously, unless you are a waiter/waitress, or some other job that receives tips, or you are some sort of apprentice/trainee, you will start out at $15 an hour. What does this mean for skilled laborers though?
Personally, I work in the construction field, mostly office work and small to mid masonry projects, as well as some small to mid level carpentry and other related construction projects – mostly on historic homes. This means: I have had, and those who work with me have had – on the job training, have more then basic math skills, have some knowledge of structural engineering, historic techniques and processes, work and coordination skills with others (fellow workers, subcontractors, project managers and home owners), know terminology, can read engineering and architectural drawings (and understand them), and have job management skills. Obviously, each person that I work with is different with each of these skills, and many others – from swinging a hammer, to mixing mortar from scratch, to figuring costs of labor and materials, etc – and that is, again, obviously apparent in scale of pay. Likewise, so is experience. Personally, I get paid better then what Seattle has approved for minimum wage, but not everyone who works for the company I work for does, nor does everyone who works in construction – but in a few years, if this company was in Seattle, they would. So what does this mean?
Examples: (Hypothetical) Here are some examples, not to be taken as a literal picture of the company I work for, but as a hypothetical.
General Labor -
Labors: (5) $10.00 an hour
Skilled Labor: |
Carpenter: (3) $20.00 an hour
Masonry/Tile (2) $18.00 an hour
Painter: (4) $15.00 an hour
Foreman: (1) $25.00 an hour
That is 20 employees, if all worked 40 hours a week, payroll would be: $9,240.00
This does not account for office employees, etc.
If everyone received a 50% increase (because the laborer did, payroll would be: $13,860
Again, no office employees, or insurance costs, that is an increase of $4,620, which over one year is an increase of $240,240.00… wait, how much? Yep. Granted, all employees would not receive the same pay, nor would all receive a 50% hike, but you most certainly have to give your painters a raise – general laborers are not expected to paint, then you would mostly certainly have to give your masonry/tile guys a raise (you paid them more then the painters for some reason) and then you would have to give your carpenters a raise (just ask a carpenter why :) ), which means you would have to give your foreman a raise as well – I mean, he is the foreman. This not only raises payroll – and yes, makes the workers happier, but it also increases expense, which in turn will raise cost. If a job is expected to last six months, and it is expected that all of your workers will be on the job everyday, 40 hours a week, that would mean an increase of $120,120.00 just in labor, if you add in 20% for profit and overhead, that is an increase of $144,144 (based on the 10% overhead. and 10% profit standard). That does not take into account if suppliers and lumber yards are effected as well. So, in labor alone, you have an increase in cost of over 50%, plus you will undoubtedly will have some sort of increase in material cost.
To put this in perspective, if you have a $500,000.00 job that will take six months, you are now looking at a $650,000.00 job, and that increase is just in labor. That is a lot of money, especially when a lot of those jobs are subsided through grants and special loans.
I'm not against raising the minimum wage, and maybe the only reason I think this way is because I do the majority of our companies estimates. This has the potential to not just burden the business owner, but the home owner as well. Beyond that, it has the potential to burden the worker, because a lot of businesses will not be able to justify such a large increase in cost, therefore causing workers to either be laid off, laborers (or equivalent) not being hired, or skilled workers not being paid a fair wage as compared to the laborer.
Populist Christianity: Part 1

Populist Christianity
Populism is simply defined as leaders, particularly those of political association, who "fight" for the common good of the lower man against the powerful elite. With this definition, one could say that in a way, Martin Luther was a "populist" for the common Catholic against the powerful elite of Rome, and that, in its defense of being called a rebellion, Protestantism was truly just a populist movement to…

Elder Scrolls Online Vs. Final Fantasy XIV: ARR

The revamped FFXIV: ARR has been out since last August and has a wide following – due in part to the huge legacy of Final Fantasy. Elder Scrolls Online – by Zenimax and Bethesda, promises us to be the largest and most advanced MMO and RPG of all time, and the fever for this is also fueled by another huge legacy – The Elder Scrolls.
Which will you choose, or will you play both?
FFXIV obviously is pay to play, and ESO will be as well – so far FFXIV has done an excellent job with both its servers and new content, and ESO promises the same. Graphically – if you have played the beta of ESO like I have, it is more "realistic," as much as you can be for a fantasy style game, then FFXIV – but the questing, etc seems about the same.

More than four years after the Bull traded Tyrus Thomas to the Charlotte Bobcats for a future first round pick, they now know when they will be able to use their pick.
That pick was lottery-protected in 2012, top-12 protected in 2013, top-10 protected this season, top-8 protected in 2015 and unprotected in 2016. With the Bobcats making the playoffs this season, and having some good, young talent on the team, and with this year's draft being one of the deepest one in decades, the Bulls will take that pick this season.
If the Bobcats don't make it past the first round in the playoffs, and the Bulls advance to at least the second round, the Bulls should have two of the top twenty picks in this draft.
That should put the Bulls in a good position. Using those picks, they can get two players good enough to be used as role players as rookies. If they choose, they can trade for solid, veteran help. Considering how restrictive the Collective Bargaining Agreement is (more severe luxury tax penalties for example), having two rookie contracts on a roster would be beneficial.
Seeing how the Bulls have had success with players late in the draft, having two first round options, and a second-round option, they are in good shape to pick up some good help for the team. They picked up Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler late in their respective drafts, and they are now integral parts of the team's success.
Not knowing what the full list of available players will look like come June, I won't go in-depth with who could be available. Aggrey Sam did write about some possibilities recently.
Rest assured that the Bulls have already started their research and will do their best in finding another draft gem. Let's hope they can build on the success already had and the success yet to achieve this season.

Japanese Mythology Pt.2: Aka Manto
Aka Manto (Red Cape) is a Japanese urban legend about a malicious spirit who haunts public and school toilets, who will ask you if you want red paper or blue paper.
If you're sitting on the toilet (usually the last stall), a mysterious voice will ask you if you want red paper or blue paper. If you answer red paper, you will be sliced apart till your clothes are stained red. If you choose blue paper, you will be strangled till your face turns blue. Any attempt to outsmart Aka Manto by asking for a different colour will result in you being dragged to the netherworld. The only correct answer to say is 'No paper'.
The Legend:
A police man and woman were called to a school after a student reported hearing a male voice in the girl's bathroom. The police woman went to the bathroom while her male partner waited outside. When inside the stall a voice asked "Shall we put on the red vest?" The police man outside, who was listening at the door, heard his partner answer "Yes". A sudden scream and loud thud followed. When the policeman opened the bathroom door, he found the police woman decapitated. Her blood had soaked into her vest, turning it red

United Parcel Service Inc. on Friday named Chief Operating Officer David Abney as its next chief executive, again promoting an insider to its highest post.
Mr. Abney started with the shipping giant as a part-time package loader in 1974 and will succeed Scott Davis, who is 62 years old and has served as UPS's chairman and CEO since 2008. Mr. Davis will retain the role of chairman, the company said.
The moves are effective Sept. 1, and the turnover is consistent with the company's past practices in which chief executives typically serve five to seven years. UPS is also known for promoting executives from within its ranks.
Mr. Abney, 58, held various operational positions at UPS prior to his stint as operating chief, including president of UPS International where he led the expansion of the company's global logistics capabilities.
Meanwhile, Mr. Davis is a 29-year veteran of the company, and UPS noted the company made significant improvements in its logistics network during his tenure as CEO as UPS expanded. Mr. Davis also presided over rapid growth in international operations and supply chain and freight, the company said.
Since Mr. Davis took over the CEO post at the beginning of 2008, the company's share price has risen 50%. Revenue, meanwhile, increased to $55.4 billion in 2013 from $49.7 billion in 2007.
"As the chairman and CEO for the past nearly seven years, Scott Davis has skillfully guided UPS through one of the most turbulent global economic periods in history," said Duane Ackerman, a member of the UPS board and chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee.
As CEO, Mr. Abney will be tasked with improving UPS's efficiency as it looks to keep up with a boom in e-commerce.
Average daily package volume at UPS has grown 12% over the past five years, partly thanks to online shopping, but that expansion has also led to growing pains.
During the most recent holiday season, for instance, UPS was unable to deliver some goods in time for Christmas, as a spike in last-minute shopping overwhelmed its system.
The company in January outlined plans for preventing another Christmas disaster that included investing in expanding some of its hubs to handle more packages and working more closely with customers to determine how many packages they'll expect to ship.
Meanwhile, competition in the shipping industry is likely to increase as a number of retailers like Amazon.com Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. test their own delivery networks. FedEx Corp. likely added fuel to that fire when it unveiled plans last month to change the way it charges to ship bulky packages, effectively increasing prices on more than a third of its U.S. ground shipments.
Instead of charging by weight alone, all FedEx ground packages will be priced according to size, which boosts the priced for delivering items as diverse as diapers, shoes and paper towels. The change in pricing could dramatically affect either online shoppers or retailers or both as one of the parties will have to swallow the estimated hundreds of millions of dollars in extra shipping costs.
Industry watchers are still waiting to see if UPS will match the price increase.
UPS in April posted a lower first-quarter profit, pointing to unusually harsh weather that increased its expenses and slowed its revenue growth.

So we'll go a little bit easier on y'all today.
The answer to yesterday's question
Q- Which player currently on the Sabres training camp roster was drafted by the team in 1999 but then re-entered the draft in 2001 after the Sabres did not sign him? Also, which team took him in the 2001 draft?
A- Mike Zigomanis was originally drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 1999, but the Sabres did not sign him so he re-entered the draft was taken by the Carolina Hurrincanes in 2001.

Recently my husband and I shared our ninth wedding anniversary. It is always such a blessing to mark another year together. Most years, if we can, we try to do something special to mark the occasion and this year was no different. Stewart surprised me with a trip to town – just the two of us! – after dropping our four little ones off with loving friends.
We stopped at at a local restaurant that makes its own gelato, my husband knowing well my love for both frozen creamy treats and local artisan foods. We both had small cups and chatted as we sat in front of the little shop, enjoying the rare quiet time together.
On the way home he became exhausted and generally unwell. That exhaustion trickled over to the next day… and a little into the next. He had wanted to share something with me that I love, and in doing so he triggered a flare up that would last for several days.
Truth be told, I was saddened by this. Food sensitivities can be frustrating and difficult and incredibly isolating. For those who prepare food for loved ones with food sensitivities, it can be all of those things as well, not to mention challenging and exhausting. After several years of dealing with food sensitivities in my husband and eldest son, I've found that it is important to take responsibility for your own food and to try to find something we can gather around at the table and enjoy.
Cultured foods have provided that for our family….

ODU's Sustainability
Climate change and sea level rise is increasingly on the agenda of the public, the media, and decision makers in the public, private and social sectors of society. Focus is almost solely on the hazards and the potential disasters we might be facing. MARI at Old Dominion University is focusing on the solutions, the options we have to mitigate the impacts of climate change and sea level rise, and to adapt to the changes.
To develop the paractice-relevant solutions, MARI engages in research that produces the practice-relevant knowledge needed to cope with the impacts of climate change and sea level rise on the coastal zone and the urban coast in particular. In doing so, MARI responds to the knowledge needs of a wide range of community stakeholders, including government, military, private sector, and citizens. The high rate of local sea level rise, the exposure to extreme weather events, and the complex socio-economic structure makes Hampton Roads a natural laboratory for climate change and sea level rise. MARI utilizes this laboratory and works with stakeholders within and outside the region to generate the knowledge that can enable them not only to reduce the negative impacts but also to utilize the opportunities in the changes to come. To ensure that the stakeholders get the knowledge they can apply, MARI works closely with them to ensure a co-creation of practice-relevant knowledge and to support them in the use of this knowledge.

1 QT Cranberry Juice
1 Orange
Cinnamon Sticks
Whole Cloves
Pour the juice into a 5 quart pot and heat on low setting. Stick the orange with cloves. (This is a great project for kids. They love poking the cloves into the orange in fun patterns!) You can leave the orange whole or cut it into quarters. Float the cloved orange and the cinnamon sticks in the juice. Let it simmer till you're ready to serve!
If you prefer the vino…
Jesse Hayworth with our wine selection.
I'm more of a wine girl, and love to celebrate with a Benefit Wine.
They taste good—though I've been known to enjoy Cardboardeaux (aka boxed wine), so take that for what it's worth—have cool labels, and ~30% of the sale price goes to the charity you select.
Shana's Sparkling Cider
I usually celebrate by toasting with my daughter and a glass of sparkling grape juice. However you choose to celebrate, we hope it's a wonderful beginning to 2014!
As a special treat today, I asked some of the Quills about their most memorable Valentine's Days. Here's what they said:
Shana: When I was in high school, there was one Valentine's Day that I didn't have a boyfriend, and I felt so sorry for myself. I moped all day, didn't get out of my pajamas, and didn't put any make-up on or fix my hair. This was in the days of lots of make-up and big hair. My mom kept telling me to get dressed, but I was having a pity party. What I didn't know was that a guy I'd dated a few times had called her and asked if it was okay if he stopped over and surprised me with flowers. He showed up, and I was so embarrassed. It was actually very sweet of him to bring me flowers but being all of sixteen I was too worried about how I looked to be as excited as I should have been.
Nancy: I don't know that I can single out one most romantic Valentine's Day in particular. That's because The Chef is a master at making all Valentine's Days special and romantic. He never forgets and always brings me a dozen red roses, champagne and the perfect card. Usually, he gives me chocolates, depending on how loudly I've proclaimed I'm on a diet. Still, calorie counting or not, there's always a fabulous meal: lobster or filet with cognac peppercorn sauce. Or Lobster AND filet with cognac peppercorn sauce…. One of the best touches is that he also gives our daughter flowers-a bouquet of pink carnations. There's something extra romantic in him not only being a great husband, but also being such a wonderful father.
Kristan: My first Valentine's Day out of college, I was alone in a new city, worked for poverty wages and didn't have too many friends. Boo hoo! Valentine's Day with a guy? As probable as running into a Saudi prince at the pizza place on the corner. Imagine my surprise when a beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to work! "From your secret admirer," the card said. I called my dad and thanked him. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, but I could tell he was smiling. He died that same year. I think of him every day, but I always smile on Valentine's Day, remembering how dear old Dad made sure I got flowers from someone who loved me a whole heck of a lot.
Kathy: One of my favorite Valentine's days was when my kids were about 8 and 13 and they got totally into the holiday picking out stuffed animals and chocolates for each other and my husband and I. They even made Valentine's for us from our dog. It was such a fun time for us all.
Mia: This Valentine date was the first time I'd gone out with this red-headed guy I knew from church and it promised to be a lovely one. He took me to a dance at the Surf Ballroom, a place that epitomized romance in my little corner of the upper midwest. And I did enjoy the evening of dancing, but then he ran out of gas (Does anybody ever really do that?) on the way home (which was about 20 miles away). He had to hike back into town for a can of gas while I froze my tootsies in the cold car (February in Northern Iowa is no joke!) To make matters worse, we were cutting things close on my curfew. I'm a railroader's daughter. At my house, not being on time was regarded as only slightly less heinous than becoming pregnant out of wedlock! I knew I was going to catch it when I got home.
However, my date was not in a hurry to let me out of the car once we got in my driveway. I managed to pull out of his grasp, but he tailed me to the pool of yellow light at my back door and forced a kiss on me. It was our first date and I really didn't want to kiss him. I wanted to get inside so I could explain to my folks that it was not my fault I was seriously late. I finally told the guy I didn't think things were going to work out between us and made a break for it. Then he stalked me for the next six months and made creepy phone calls. So the moral of the story is…beware of red headed men!
Cindy: Worst Valentine's Day? Most memorable Valentine's Day? I racked my brains but couldn't come up with anything. My husband and I have been together since high school. We're the kind of couple who goes out the weekend before the big day, so we don't have to fight the crowds. We buy the boxes of heart-shaped Valentine's Day candy after the big day (when it hits 75% off )because it's a better deal. I'd call us practical. You might call us boring. But we've been together a
long time and hey, it works for us!
Robyn: Valentine's Day is one of those I've had a love/hate relationship with. As a little girl, I loved it because my Daddy would give me sweet cards and my own (small) heart-shaped box of chocolates. I loved that. But with a series of disappointments through high school and college, I pretty much ignored the holiday for a few years. Then I met The Professor. Our first Valentine's Day together was actually a month before we got married. I was trying to eat healthily so that I could fit into my wedding dress so he went to a gourmet chocolate shop here and bought me sugar-free candies. I thought that was so sweet and thoughtful. Every year he brings me a sweet card (that I know he spend so much time trying to find the perfect one) and roses. I know that might seem too traditional and not creative, but I love it!
Margo: The absolute best Valentine's Day gift was from my mom. Our kids were about 2, 4 and 6, and Mom called and said she would take the kids overnight if we wanted to make reservations somewhere. Omg, it was hard to know what to do! Stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet? Go to a Red Wings hockey game, drink some beer and go home? (not) When it came down to it, we went to a play, had a late, romantic dinner, and then stayed the night at the Ritz Hotel. In those days when it was non-stop kid stuff, that night out was absolutely heaven!
Do you have a Valentine's Day memory that stands out? Tell us, and we'll pick three random participants who will each receive a copy of one of our books. Come on – what was your most memorable (good or bad) Valentine's Day?
It's the beginning of a new year and time for all those Best Of lists. My Jaunty Quills want to let you know some of their bests from 2012. These recommendations are not to be missed. Add pine nuts to each, and they're even better!
Terri Brisbin has a suggestion for Best TV show of 2012—IMHO "Once Upon A Time" is the best TV show of 2012. It draws on familiar mythology and fairy tales, tweaks and twists them, makes characters come alive and shows the power of true love, too. How could a romance author not love a series that does all that?!
Robyn DeHart says, Okay I'm probably jumping on the proverbial bandwagon here, but the best new website of 2012 was Pinterest! I love being able to have a visual collection of recipes and ideas for my house and my biggest obsession, organization ideas! Long before this lovely website came along I used to cut things out of magazines and put them in photo albums, having a way to store ideas of cool things to do. This makes it so much easier and everything is in one tidy location and I can sort to my heart's content.
Personally, I like to pin pictures of pine nuts.
For Best Book of 2012, Shana Galen recommends THE SELECTION by Kiera Cass–romance, mystery, intrigue, royalty…what more could you want?
Best chocolate of 2012. Okay, I say this as a professional chocolate taster (or as close as one can get to being a professional chocolate taster). I love Lindt, Ghiradelli, Godiva. I love me some of the Whitman's Sampler, and I love Hershey. White chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, malted chocolate balls, chocolate Santas…I think I probably eat chocolate every day, and I have no intention of stopping. But the best chocolate I tasted this year was in Seattle at Fran's Chocolates. A salted milk chocolate caramel that tasted like angel tears and unicorn kisses. Try them. I command you. And happy new year! –Kristan Higgins
In 2012 Cindy Kirk discovered J D Robb's In Death series and was hooked! If you like a suspenseful tale mixed with a health dose of romance, Cindy recommends you check out this series.
Margo Maguire: My most amazing experience this year was surviving a nasty case of appendicitis, in spite of myself. On December 1st, I overcame my denial (yes, denial that I had a serious problem that wasn't going to just go away) and went into the ER. Within a couple of hours, I'd had an appendectomy, managed to get past a crash in blood pressure, and a post-operative spike in temperature. I went home the following day and walked a quarter mile – and kept at it until I was up to my usual 2 miles a day. Thank heavens for modern medicine! And Hooray for the timing. I didn't have to do any Christmas shopping this year!
Emily McKay has a recommendation for Best new recipe of 2012—
This is a great pot pie recipe if you:
a) love pot pies (and I do!)
b) are trying to eat more veggies (and I am!)
c) are trying to eat less meat (and, again, I am!)
d) just love ridiculously yummy food (duh, who doesn't?)
I really can't stress how yummy this was. The ingredients seem very humble, but somehow the result is amazing. You might be tempted not to make the crust yourself, but I urge you to try. I didn't roll mine out, so mine looked nothing like hers. I just patted them into big fat circles and plopped them on top of the bowls. They weren't pretty, but they weren't around long enough for it to matter.
One question, Emily. No pine nuts?
Best 2012 Smartphone App: Christmas night, Nancy Robards Thompson and her family went to see the Les Miserables movie. While they were waiting in line to get into the theater, they struck up a conversation with the family in front of them. This is where they learned about a phone app called "Runpee." It tells you the best times to run and er… do your business so you don't miss anything important during the movie. Among other features, it even has a timer that makes your phone vibrate to give you the heads-up on when you can "go." It's available for all smartphones.
Readers, your turn. What's on your best of list?
I think we can all agree that it's essential in a romance novel to get a good feel for the hero and heroine. Think for a second how we as readers usually get to know these characters.
We learn what a character is like based on:
* How they act in in different situations.
* What they say (and how they say it)
* What they don't say and why
* Through a card game
What? Through a card game? How can that be?
In the book I'm currently writing that will be out in May 2013, I invented a card game. It's called Heart to Heart (who said I couldn't be creative?). Supposedly the heroine had received this game/deck of cards from her friend several years earlier.
The game consists of a deck of cards with questions on them. Each card also has one or two hearts on it. The deck is shuffled and each player takes turn drawing a card. They have to answer the question on the card they've drawn. If there is one heart on the card, only the one who's drawn the card answers. If there are two hearts on the card, everyone playing answers that question. Pretty clever, huh?
I thought it might be fun to give you one of the questions the hero had to answer. I had him get this question specifically because he's having issues with his father, who is the person he's most like.
The question he got was: Who do you think you are most like in your family?
Let's pretend there are two hearts on this card and we all have to answer this question. Everyone who comments will be entered into a drawing to win one of my books (their choice–as long as I have one in stock). I'll draw the winner Sunday night…so check back then.
I'll go first. Here's my answer. "I'm not sure. My mother and I shared many similiar characteristics so I'd have to say her. My brother and I were nothing alike. My father was more quiet…and I'm not that quiet….so final answer: my mother.
See how easy this is? Your turn…
