Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Imagine that there were a "terrible and alarming trend" of sexual violence on college campuses against female students. Imagine that 20 percent of college women were victims of rape or attempted rape — a rate of sexual assault astronomically higher than anything seen in America's most violent cities.
If 18-year-old girls were in fact walking into such a grotesque maelstrom of sexual violence when they first picked up their dormitory room key, parents and students alike would have demanded a radical restructuring of college life years ago. There would have been a huge surge in all-girls colleges to protect female students from these outrageous levels of sexual violence; those colleges that did still admit boys and girls together would have been forced to prove to worried parents that the boys they were admitting were not rapists — perhaps allowing parents to interview these aspiring monks before they were accepted. Just to be on the safe side, administrators would provide round-the-clock protection for their female students.
Instead, over the last decade or so, the proportion of female students in coed colleges has skyrocketed, so that there are now more girls than boys in most of the nation's coed schools. Parents relentlessly push their daughters into the most prestigious schools they can get into. Competition among female students to enroll in coed colleges has never been higher. None of those girls demand bodyguards as a condition of acceptance; instead, their parents feel fortunate to cough up tens of thousands of dollars a year to keep their daughters on campus, where they are free to boogie through as many drunken frat parties as they can before passing out from overinhalation of Kahlua and cream.
And yet, according to Vice President Joe Biden, the Justice Department and the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights, college is in fact a nightmarish gauntlet of sexual violence and abuse.
"There is a terrible and alarming trend in the country of sexual violence" on campuses, Russlynn H. Ali, assistant secretary of education, told the New York Times.
Ali's Office of Civil Rights is investigating Yale for maintaining a "sexually hostile environment."
The White House claims that one in five female students has been a victim of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault while at college. Such bogus statistics have been the mainstay of campus-rape-epidemic propaganda for years. They are generated by a variety of clever techniques, but the most important is this: The survey taker, rather than the female respondent, decides whether the latter has been raped or not. When you ask the girls directly whether they view themselves as victims of rape, the answer overwhelmingly comes in: no.
Biden has just announced more college red tape on the laughable ground that schools ignore sexual violence. In fact, virtually every campus has a robust sexual-violence bureaucracy which sits idle, waiting for the shell-shocked casualties of rape to crawl through their doors. The victims never come — because they don't exist. But pressure from the feds will undoubtedly give those lonely college rape counselors further clout to push for increased funding, even as schools cut their German and Latin programs for lack of money.
Here is the reality on campuses, which the free-love baby-boomer college deans and provosts will never acknowledge: The sexual revolution and the disappearance of adult moral authority on campus have resulted in a booze-filled sexual free-for-all, in which testosterone-charged boys act boorishly, and the girls compete to match them in reckless promiscuity.
Yes, there are plenty of drunken hookups that result in the proverbial "roll and scream": "You roll over the next morning so horrified at what you find next to you that you scream," as Laura Sessions Stepp reported in Unhooked. A small percentage of those next-day regretters view themselves as having been raped; most think that they acted stupidly and irresponsibly.
There are a few, simple antidotes to the alleged campus-rape crisis: Don't drink yourself blotto. Don't get into bed with one of your fellow drunken revelers. Keep your clothes on. If every girl practiced those elementary rules, poor Ms. Ali might be out of a well-paying government job.

While Iraq struggles to provide drinking water to its citizens, it turns out we?re having the same problems right here in the U.S., due to aging pipes and outdated treatment plants. Many water treatment plants use century-old technology that can't clean up modern contaminants. Water pipes are old too, and in some cities they date back 100 years.
Chicago's water has an "excellent" rating, and Denver. New Orleans, Manchester, NH, Baltimore and Detroit are rated good. Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Newark, NJ, San Diego, Seattle and Washington are rated fair. No city fails to provide drinkable water, but five are rated "poor": Albuquerque, N.M., Boston, Fresno, CA, Phoenix and San Francisco.
Fresno has too many nitrates in the water, while Washington violates the national standards for trihalomethanes, which are a byproduct of chlorination and may increase the risk of cancer. "People would be surprised to know that their water contains cancer-causing chemicals, toxic chemicals like lead, that it often contains the remnants of pollutants like sewage that slip through some of the treatment plants," says Erik Olson, of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
In the June 9 issue of "The New Yorker," Hendrik Hertzberg, in "Building Nations," talks about how the infrastructure of Iraq is still a mess?no water, electricity or phones for many, not enough food distribution or hospital supplies, inadequate sewage treatment, and fear of crime. He compares this to the state of public services here at home and says, "[Due to tax cuts], states are canceling school construction?health benefits are being slashed?and in many states, even cops are getting laid off."
Hertzberg says, "It's tempting to suggest that the Bush Administration is failing to provide Iraq with functioning, efficient, reliable public services because it doesn't believe in functioning, efficient, reliable public services?doesn't believe that they should exist, and doesn't really believe that they can exist." He says the current White House "believe(s) in free markets, individual initiative, and private schools and private charity as substitutes for public provision?They do not, at bottom, believe that society, through the mechanisms of democratic government, has a moral obligation to provide care for the sick, food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and education for all?"
It makes you wonder who's really running things.

Ocean Hero Finalists: Wallace 'J.' Nichols
This is the sixth in a series of posts about the Ocean Heroes finalists.
We're wrapping up our week of Adult Ocean Hero finalists with Dr. Wallace "J." Nichols.
J.'s love of sea turtles started when he was a kid, growing out of a dual obsession with dinosaurs and the ocean.
That curious kid grew up to become an ocean activist and Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences. He has authored more than 50 scientific papers, book chapters, articles and reports on sea turtle ecology and ocean conservation. His work has appeared in National Geographic, Scientific American, Time and Newsweek, among others.

Ocean Hero Finalists: Cindy and Ted Walter
This is the fourth in a series of posts about this year's Ocean Heroes finalists.
Today's finalists are helping the oceans through one of my favorite things -- food. Chef Ted Walter and his wife, Cindy Walter, co-own Passionfish restaurant in Pacific Grove, CA, and the name is fitting -- they share a passion for sustainable seafood.
The Walters, who have strict policies for their seafood purchases, use their restaurant as a forum for discussion, education, and exploration of topics in sustainability.
At Passionfish, which was declared Monterey County's first "green" restaurant, Chef Ted Walter incorporates local, sustainable seafood and fresh, local, organic produce. Ted trained as a classic French chef in restaurants across the country before returning to his native Monterey County to open Passionfish in 1997.

The 2009 Ocean Hero
After receiving nearly 500 nominations and thousands of votes for its final group of nominees, out of eight finalists, this year's Ocean Hero is John Halas, a marine biologist and manager of the Upper Region of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Halas has been working to protect coral systems in Florida since 1981. After observing coral damage caused by careless anchoring, he took it upon himself to develop an environmentally friendly anchor and mooring buoy system that prevents damage to coral reefs and has worked to implement this anchorage system in 38 countries.
"My work is something I have felt strongly about and it is really a great honor to receive this acknowledgement," Halas said.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Aaron S. Williams, director of the Peace Corps, will deliver the address June 9 at the 147th Commencement ceremony of North Central College.
May 15, 2012—If you want to succeed at scientific research, you've got to be able to work well with others.
That was the advice North Central College students and others heard May 15 during the keynote address at the College's 15th annual Rall Symposium for Undergraduate Research from professor, pharmaceutical researcher and North Central alumna Heather Carlson '91.
In the fast-paced world of researching and developing new pharmaceuticals, drug companies often don't have the time to commit resources to creating new models and technologies. That's where the research of an academic laboratory, like that of Heather Carlson '91 at the University of Michigan, can play an important role in developing new therapeutic drugs.
Sophomore psychology major Joshua Male was featured in the SouthtownStar newspaper, which recounted his recent experience in Haiti.
In December, Male spent eight days in Haiti with Mission of Hope, where he gained experience painting houses, clearing trash from streets and comforting patients in a prosthetic lab.
Oct. 19, 2011—At North Central College, pre-health students get a full dose of preparation: academics, research opportunities, field experiences, personal counseling and placement assistance.
Rebecca Kirk, a junior with majors in biochemistry and psychology, has had her heart set on becoming a doctor for as long as she can remember. "I've wanted to become a pediatrician since the day I was born," she says.
Alicia Carlson works as a physician assistant for Dr. Jesse Butler's practice, Spine Consultants LLC, based in Park Ridge, IL. She earned her bachelor's degree in athletic training at North Central, then graduated from Midwestern University with a master's degree in physician assistant studies.
Alicia says. "A liberal arts degree tends to give a more well-rounded educational experience. I truly believe that schools seriously look at those intricate details and differences."
As a physician assistant, Alicia first-assists Dr. Butler in surgery, schedules all surgeries and procedures, coordinates post-operative care of the patients while in the hospital, sees patients in conjunction with Dr. Butler and independently when he is out of town, performs in-office procedures and injections, and writes orders and prescriptions and refills requests for patients. She has close correspondence with physical therapists, pain management specialists and primary care physicians to aide in the best patient care.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

San Francisco, CA- The decision that took Manny Pacquiao out of a $50 million payday with Floyd Mayweather, his loss Saturday night to Tim Bradley, has been called a "rip off." Call it what you want, but had the Las Vegas judges not given Manny a pass last November against Juan Manuel Marquez, I might be upset. Although I didn't score the fight round by round, I thought Pacquiao had done enough to win. HBO's Larry Merchant was my guest talking Bradley-Pacquiao on the Sunday "Ring Talk Boxing & MMA Hour," which is the weekend wrap up show for both boxing and MMA.
This is what drives away good fans from boxing….Should be investigated,and these judges banned for life………….
Obviously PACMAN won the fight — crystal clear.
I am looking forward to November 10 PACMAN will unleash all his fury just like what he did with El Terrible Morales.
Good luck Tim, you suck.
The JERK above is why people hate Pac Nuts. They show no respect for Pac's opponents and are just sore losers. I am loving all the pain the Pac Nuts are in right now. You A-holes earned it.
Again, regardless of who one the Pacman vs marquez fight they were exceptionally close. This fight was very clear in which fighter was dominant.
Not similar in any way shape or form.
You should be upset because you know it was a clear error and hurts Boxing.
I don't think I'm going to be watching any more fights if these judges are scoring. The only reason I am going to watch the rematch is because I wanna see the old Pacquiao come back and get the knockout.
Nobody should spend a penny to see a rematch ,Bradley did not do enough to deserve one.Everyone knows who won the fight ,a rematch is just an insult to the intelligence of boxing fans.
lemme know when you get tired of feeling like a 'hole for paying to watch PPV boxing despite already paying for HBO in the first place.
said never again a couple years ago…vast majority of the time, prudent choice.
this nonsense re-enforces the idea completely.
@ Merlin and RMS…You folks are the reason Boxing can get away with this crap. You see and complain about a robbery plain and simple and yet in the same breath say that you can't wait for the rematch (which means you will purchase it). Boy, PT Barnum (aka Bob Arum) was right about one of you (suckers) being born every minute.
Well Folks (scratching my head),
I scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao. I need to watch the replay without the volume to see if I can somehow figure out the judges in this one.
However, I am going play the advocate for the judges. Pacquiao has to blame himself for not continuing the pressure on Bradley when Bradley was clearly buzzed in the first half of the fight (i.e. rounds 1-7). During the first half of the fight, Pacquiao missed out on golden opportunities to lauch uppercuts while an exhausted Bradley bent over blindly. Pacquiao had golden opportunities to throw right hooks to Bradley's body while he had Bradley in retreat and on the ropes.
Continuing as the judges' advocate – during the second half of the fight (i.e. rounds 8-12) – the judges (including the judge who favored Pacquiao 115-113) may have seen Bradley's aggressivenes (although injured), grit, body punching and jabs as factors to give most of the second half rounds to Bradley; Pacquiao was also going backwards at times, and he looked tired. Perhaps, as analyzed round-by-round in the second half, the two judges looked at the previously mentioned factors to award Bradley the rounds for a narrow victory; and the third judge's close decision for Pacquiao. The judges do not have access to Compubox (thank goodness) after each round because they are supposed to objectively analyze the fight on a round-by-round basis (not by rounds collectively).
Nonetheless, I still had it 117-111 for Pacquiao, but I think I can see why the judges had the scores much closer. Looks like Bradley is in a strong financial position now because "the bottom rail is up," and Pacquiao has to chase Bradley before he can establish a bargaining position for a fight against Floyd. Peace out. E-Man.
Pedro , which was worse , the Campilo/Cloud robbery or this one ?

Pinson, Wesleyan net 42-40 win
Theo Pinson knew his team needed a game where it had to grind out a win. The North Carolina recruit didn't want to get too complacent this early in the season — especially in front of his future coach, Roy Williams.
Despite only shooting 30 percent from the field, Wesleyan Christian Academy grinded out a 42-40 victory Friday night over Christ School in a matchup featuring two national powerhouse basketball programs. Williams, the 11th year head coach of the Tar Heels, was in attendance to see Pinson finish with 13 points. He will be playing for UNC next season.
"We know every team that comes in here is going to give us their best shot. We struggled tonight. That was really the first time in a while that we really struggled to shoot the ball well." Pinson said.
With 4.6 seconds remaining, Pinson was on the line with a chance to ice the game but missed both free throws. He previously missed the front end of a one-and-one with 25 seconds remaining.
Christ School's golden opportunity to win the game came as time expired, but the 3-pointer was short. A controversial no-call from the officials left the Greenies calling for goaltending after Wesleyan defender Donovan Gilmore looked to have touched the ball as it was coming off the rim.
"The officials made the right call, but it definitely was too close. We can't have our guys taking a risk like that." Wesleyan head coach Keith Gatlin said. "But tonight we didn't defend, at all. They out played us and could have beaten us."
The Trojans finished the game 2 of 16 from the 3-point line, and didn't make its first triple until 2:55 remaining in the third quarter. WCA's poor shooting left it trailing after the first, second and third quarter.
"We're thin right now, we've had some injuries but we're going to have to play smarter than that. We really needed a game like that though." Pinson said.
Putting together a 12-2 run to start the third quarter looked as if the Trojans were back in its normal form, but costly turnovers and missed shots kept Christ School hanging around.
But in the fourth quarter the Greenies were held to five points on only two field goals, and turned the ball over five times. The Trojans forced 16 turnovers total.
Senior point guard JaQuel Richmond, who finished with 15 points, played a big factor in the second half by putting pressure on the Greenies guards and making some critical foul shots.
"It killed us that we missed that many foul shots, I've never missed four straight like that. That's got to change." Pinson said.
Wesleyan (6-1) has been considered one of the top programs in North Carolina this season but has been faced with several injuries. Standout sophomore Harry Giles has been ruled out for the season due to a knee injury.
The Trojans will host Victory Christian Center on Tuesday and will gear up for their next national powerhouse showdown on December 20 against Oak Hill Academy.
In the girls game, Carolina Day (7-0) was too much for the Trojans to handle as it cruised to a 44-32 victory. Eight-grader Nicole Mackey led WCA with 16 points, followed by Ebany Zappone (12 points) and Anna Massey (9 points).
WCA's girls slipped to 4-4 overall with a game Tuesday against Victory Christian Center.

Kailua High School prepares Hawaiian-style Thanksgiving dinner
Students at Kailua High School cooked a Thanksgiving meal using a traditional Hawaiian method. They have been preparing their imu for six weeks now, and they kicked off the Thanksgiving holiday in style.
Click here to watch the video.
Roughly a thousand pounds of kiawe wood, burning for five hours, then topped with stumps and leaves, and it's full steam ahead. After much preparation, it's time to lay the turkeys on top and set them to cook under a tight seal for 12 hours.
Hundreds of Kailua High School student athletes pitched in for their annual fundraiser that will bring in more than $8,000.
"It's good, since we can come together and then eat all together!" says Kahea Makua, a senior at Kailua High School.
"We're giving back to kids, hopefully they will move on with the tradition. This is what Hawaiians used to do to cook their food," says volunteer Victor Nobrega-Olivera.
It's not just students, but the entire community that comes together. Former science teacher Todd Hendricks will retire as imu master this year after starting the tradition more than 20 years ago.
The massive imu also brings together little kids like Royal Crowell, who's been helping his dad every year for the last six years.
"When you smell the ti leaves, you smell Hawaiian, and it smells so good," says Crowell.
And once the work is done, it's time to celebrate.

Identification Cards in OklahomaPage Overview
Why an Oklahoma ID Card?
Are you a non-driving senior, minor, or have a disability that prevents you from driving? Or are you a person who just chooses not to drive? If so, an Oklahoma ID card may be just what you need for a primary source of identification.
An Oklahoma ID card is an excellent form of identification for people who do not drive an automobile or motorcycle. As a form of identification, an Oklahoma ID Card serves the same purpose as an Oklahoma driver license and can be used in place of a driver's license for everything except the operation of a motor vehicle.
Age Limits
Any non-driving person may hold an Oklahoma ID card and you may apply for one any time. ID cards are routinely issued to children as well as adults. There is no minimum or maximum age for an ID card in the state of Oklahoma.
For applicants under the age of 18 years old, a custodial parent or guardian must be present when you apply.
How to Apply for an Oklahoma ID Card
In order to apply for an Oklahoma ID card, you will need to appear in person at your local Driver License Exam Station or your local Tag Agent.
The fee for an Oklahoma ID card is $20. If your ID card is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, a replacement card is $20.
Required Documents
When applying for an Oklahoma ID card, you will be asked a primary form of identification. These include:
- State-issued certified birth certificate.
- U.S. passport.
- Certificate of Naturalization.
- Oklahoma driver's license or ID card issued on or after November 1, 2007.
You will also need a secondary form of identification. These include:
- Social Security card.
- Certified copy of marriage license, separation, or divorce judgment.
- Original high school, college, or university diploma.
- Oklahoma gun permit.
- Insurance ID such as health, life, home, or auto.
- Oklahoma voter registration card.
- Pilot's license.
- Deed to a property in Oklahoma.
- Military ID card.
- Tribal photo ID card.
- Out-of-state driver's license.
The OK Department of Public Safety provides a full list of accepted documents.
How to Renew Your OK ID Card
You must appear in person at your local Tag Agent or Driver's License Exam Site. Be sure you have proof of ID (see above) you when you go to renew your Oklahoma ID card, as it is now required. Note that you will not need to bring secondary form of ID. If your ID is currently unexpired, you can present a finger image comparison (if you have an image on file with the DPS) in lieu of presenting a primary form of ID.
The fee for an ID card renewal is $20.
Replacing an Oklahoma Identification Card
Visit any Driver's License Exam Site with proper primary and secondary identification (see above) and cash or check to pay a $20 duplicate fee.Other Topics in This SectionBe a Hero

Of temptation and capitulation
Now suffer the fig eaters to come unto me...
I find it unlikely that Eve, if she had existed, would have risked so much for the sake of an apple. Especially since it probably tasted a lot like the crabapples we know today. And while the fig and the apple share the distinction of being domesticated very early, the fig seems to be winning, at around 11,400 years ago.
No. I think it would have been a fig. I would behave foolishly for the promise of a plump, perfect, ripe, soft-skinned fig.
Or perhaps it was a pomegranate? Since Eve would have been naked she wouldn't be risking the staining of white linen by cracking open the garnet-juiced fruit.
Anyway. I have been watching my figs ripen slowly. I am not sure how many I have lost to shrivel, perhaps ten? And till today I had eaten three. Two publicly and one on the sly.
Here is one of the ones that has not made it. They drop off quietly, and are quite soft but dry inside...I'm not sure why my ring was back to front.
I have had my eye on this fat one for a couple of days.
And yesterday I picked one from the far side of the tree. It involves standing on a chair and stretching.
Then I had to decide what to do with my picked fig.
Eat it in lonely splendour?
I put it next me while I wrote at the computer.
I resisted. Waiting for two more figs to join it and make it a party.
Today they ripened and this evening was the party.
We sat outside and sipped prosecco from Jay and Guy's glasses and supped on sweet figs.
Update: August figs by the bowlful. And a surfeit of figs.
It's hard to believe that of the three roses on the terrace this one, the Abraham Darby, so near death in the spring, has performed the best. My pink Eglantyne is looking for a home. She is not happy. Not enough sun. Maybe I should move her to the roof. But then I will have to farm with her petals or it won't be a farm anymore.
Vince was home early from work and so we had a rare early dinner outside, with the air actually very pleasant and the humidity bearable. There was a pink sky.
Vitello tonnnato but with pork loin instead of veal, that I poached with carrots, onion, peppercorns and terrace thyme. Whizzed up Italian oil-canned tuna, mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, lemon juice and pepper for the sauce. It is a pale-looking meal but delicious.
Brown baguette from Sahadi's, sweet butter and a real garden salad...
...from the little roof farm I brought down some courgette (zucchini) blossoms, and from the terrace I snipped chives and picked parsley.
Cat: I see my deenhair, bod where is jours?
The hard life of a cat. He hates the gravel so I put down a cloth for his pawpads.
I smell feesh!
I yam steel here an' I yam goeen' to faint!
In the interim the cat fainted and we had some peace. Later he went to the roof to hunt cicadas.
We finished the last of the sparkling wine and ate some peaches.
We finished up with petit fours mouthfuls of freakily delicious Marukawa gum.
I'm looking forward to more terrace weather. It's a nice place.
Want a fig tree?
Liberty Sunset Garden Center in Red Hook has some fine-looking specimens. I saw them yesterday on my walk-run. It was the first time I had visited this appealing nursery. There are a few small fig trees, like mine, then several taller, though young trees, around five to six feet. All of them have green fruit. Mr Gubis also has some citrus: standard Meyer lemons, kumquats and minneolas. I was sorely, sorely tempted by the lemon, wondering how far zone 7 can be stretched on my sheltered terrace.
I think I'll go back.
If you cannot get to Red Hook, but reside in the States, try Joe Morle at Italian Fig Trees. He is based in Massachusetts but ships trees countrywide, has a Facebook page where he answers fig questions, and is generally a fund of fig knowledge. Thanks again to Thomas (who recently bought two of his trees) for steering me to him. Call Joe with fig questions: 1-800-676-3276

I absolutely love this post, because you posted a photo of your fig tree. Now I can see it's size relative to your other plants. I'm going to definitely visit this garden center! I really want to invest in a fig tree. I saw the link of the fig growers you posted for me, I am so amazed by all the different kinds of varieties! Wow. I wonder which is the sweetest?ReplyDelete
Yummy post...I'm drooling all over myself, between the description of the fig "a plump, perfect, ripe, soft-skinned fig" and how it got to be eaten...ReplyDelete
Had I not just finished diner, I'd invite myself over, too bad I guess ;-)
Well I was going to comment about the figs but I laughed so hard about the cat that my stomach hurts.ReplyDelete

Hi. Just found your blog through a link from Apartment Therapy and immediately bookmarked it. What is the name of the rose in your flower arrangement? It is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
What a perfect post. I had to google Marukawa gum to satisfy my curiosity. I'm also wondering about the length of the growing season of a fig tree ? and could it be done here in Nova Scotia (zone 4-5) and that Cat, "the" D. Estorboro what a gem he makes us grin from ear to ear, whisker tips to whisker tips. xo S & les GangReplyDelete
Lovely post -- but, please, satisfy my curiosity - why is your cat wearing a shirt???ReplyDelete
meems, yes, that nursery is for you. Hurry!ReplyDelete
Anyes, jajaja.
Sherri, yes, that's why we keep him.
Monika - Abraham Darby, by David Austin
Susan, we have spare gum, should we ship?

I talked my husband into going with me next week! So excited! He doesn't like figs....I'll have to change that. :) I have to check out their meyer lemon trees. We have a meyer lemon and lime tree growing in pots, and they have never had any fruit yet. I'll have to inquire with them about proper care for these wonderful trees!ReplyDelete

Marie - I must apologize. If I had read your entire post I would have had my answer on the rose. I love David Austin roses and have not run across this one. Thanks.ReplyDelete

eHarmony...what a waste!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 04-03-2014 - 4:25pm
I think that ultimately, success in the OLD world depends a lot on the demographics of your area, and who has actually signed up. Pretty much every single guy eH has sent me comes with the caveat "James is a great guy who happens to be outside your settings." Well, what does that mean? Many of my "matches" are from other cities (also outside of my settings). Am I that big of a freak that there aren't men on the site that are a match for me?
I did start the question process with one of the guys who contacted me on the first day. I didn't really feel anything looking at his photos or reading his profile, and I didn't notice that he was yet another who was "outside my settings." I had thought he was "inside my settings." But I thought, "Well, if eHarmony thinks we're such a great match, OK" plus I wanted to see how the process works. One of the excercises is to choose items from a list "Relationship dealbreakers" and it lists things like "lying" and "financially irresponsible". Well duh. Who wouldn't find that to be a deal breaker? By the time we got to "open communication" (we can write anything we want to) I felt no closer to knowing anything about this guy than in the beginning. Plus, the profiles on eHarmony are very structured and not nearly detailed enough.
I never thought I'd say it, but match.com is way better. Even though it's sort of the wild west, at least you get a better sense--both good and bad--of who the guy is.
I stopped corresponding with the guy, I'm just not very interested. I'd love to cancel, but I can't. I'm on the hook for the whole six months. In addition, they rig it so you can only cancel the auto-renew in a very specific window of time. They really want to trick you into auto-renewal. I've read some really bad things about their customer service. So, my advice to anyone thinking of trying it is to wait for a free weekend, or a really, really good deal.
I know there are many people who have met on eHarmony, maybe even some of you. What has been your experience?
|Thu, 04-03-2014 - 11:17pm
Well you already know that I thought it was a huge disappointment and I also think that match is better. I think that when people can just write whatever they want in their profile instead of just answering a few canned questions, you get a much better sense of who they are. I also didn't like sending someone pre-written questions. When you say what are the demographics, think about this--I live 15 miles outside of Boston--on match, in my age group and location (w/in 25 miles) there were literally 800-1000 men to pick from--of course not all of them were compatible, but I'd rather start with the big group and then exclude people. I don't assume, for example, that I'd only want to date college grads. So if the problem with match was that there were almost too many profiles to search through (and there are also many on POF or OKCupid), then why could EH only find a few guys before they also went "outside" the boundaries--and the big ones for me were age & location?
The only people I know who met (& got married) through EH were my cousin's DD & her DH--they were in their 20's and also lived in a pretty big city.

I tried eHarmony too when I was single. I also found it to be a waste. Yes, the ostensibly scientific matching sounds good initially, but there are more variables eHarmony doesn't take in account. For instance, the site didn't distinguish between Reform and Orthodox Jews--a humungous difference in lifestyle and phiosophy. Also, I recall not being able to see the photos of women I was matched up with. I am not overly fussy about appearance, but I did need to be physically attracted to a woman to want to follow through.
BTW, my best results in online dating weren't from any general interest sites, but from websites that catered to a specific niche group.
|Fri, 04-04-2014 - 8:48am
Yeah, Music, I know you hated eHarmony. My thought was since I hadn't tried that pool of men yet, and it has a reputation for more relationship-minded men, that perhaps my luck would change. And who knows? Maybe it will. I'm stuck with it now for 6 months. But I agree--why so few men when match has so many? Of course, match has many unsuitable (for me) men but I'm not thrilled with all these "just outside my settings" men either. They're just the guys that I wouldn't have responded to on match. Oh well, it's not like it's a fortune I've had to pay.
I am seriously considering firing up match again. Despite not meeting "the one", it really is the only way I have met men in the last five years. The only dates I have had were from match. And trust me, I'm not sitting home eating chocolates and hugging my cats.
I haven't paid yet, but I've already updated my profile and added a new photo. It's hilarious, because I'm already getting all these emails saying "Someone liked your photo!" and "Someone just emailed you! Find out who!" I'm kind of hoping match will offer me a discount. But again, it's not like it's a lot of money (cheaper than eHamony!)
One good thing about having done OLD for a long time is that I already know what to expect. Been there, done that, got the weird emails and gross photos.
Stay tuned for the hilarity that will surely follow.
|Fri, 04-04-2014 - 3:43pm
I think if I tried it again, I'd just put my profile up there for a month and see if anyone contacted me. Although who am I kidding? I'd be too tempted to read all the new profiles and contact someone and then I'd feel bad about someone not contacting me back.

Oh my yes! I joined EHarmony and every match they send me is "Outside My Settings." I find that I am not liking the communication process either. I joined about a year ago, and I've had no luck on finding anyone. I'm starting to wonder if internet dating really isn't for me.
|Sat, 04-05-2014 - 9:10am
I am currently on eHarmony and we know that my one date led to late-night frat texting from a 46 year old man. All of the men sent to me are outside of my settings. I am guessing that it is because I state "I want children" and they state they "might want children". Some are from states hundreds of miles from me.
I had a lot of men interested the week I joined and I whittled them down and now I have barely any people sending me messages. I guess they match you with more people at the beginning and less as the membership continues.
I am busy at college so their slow communication process works for me. They seem less apt to ask for dates on this site.
The reason why you aren't seeing photos of folks is when you are on the free communication weekend or they are. The photos are never included.
I tried Chemistry which was dreadful, and I have tried Match but there were people even in my large city who recognized me - so I could not even keep that private. I had guys from the gym I go to contacting me!!
Florida - we will have to share our tales of eHarmony. I got a deal for 3 months for like $9.00 per month.
|Sat, 04-05-2014 - 10:40am
E-Harmony was the worst site I tried when single and was twice as expensive. One guy only had a small photo and he didn't look appealing. The main thing he wrote about was his deceased wife, so I don't know why he was attempting to date when it was clear noone would measure up to her. Another outside of my settings was a nudist. I met my husband on Yahoo, although I don't think that site is any better than the rest. It was just luck that he and I were both on the site at the same time and are decent, long term monogamous minded people who had chemistry. Had to sift through a lot of sand before finding the treasure.
|Sat, 04-05-2014 - 12:36pm
Well, I wish I had waited for the discount. I did join match.com again, and I got a 25% discount. I had made some changes to my profile and uploaded a new photo, but didn't pay. Sure enough, by the end of the day, the discount offer came in. So, just a little advice to those thinking of joining. I imagine eHamrony would do the same thing, and with my experience so far, I'd advise paying very little for it.
I never did have a lot of faith in the whole "29 Dimenions" thing, although in theory, it sounds like a great idea. But here's the thing: people don't always answer questions honestly. I don't think some of them are intentionally trying to seem better than they are, but I'll bet a lot of them are. Like one of the questions was "How important is sex in your relationship?" I'll bet there are a lot of people who don't feel it's very important, but would be afraid to answer that way.
But none of that can really predict if you will be attracted to one another. It can all seem great on paper, but when you meet, despite your 29 Dimensions matching up, it could be a big bust. I think attraction is a pretty mysterious thing, actually.
The experiment continues.

Role in GamesEdit
Samurai WarriorsEdit
In Mitsuhide and Ranmaru's first stage in Samurai Warriors, they start by defending the castle. The Saito leader is Yoshitatsu Saito. At first, they start by defending the castle by defeating two Oda retainers. In the mean time, Nobunaga tries to steal the Saito's lumber and the player has to defeat the officer who is stealing the lumber. When the officer is defeated or has successfully stolen the lumber a cutscene appears that Hideyoshi has built a castle at Sunomata. Then, the player will get an objective to take Sunomata. Once the castle is taken, Noh will approach Mitsuhide or Ranmaru, stating that they are her childhood friends. Once she is defeated, Hanbei Takenaka betrays the Saito and attacks the Saito main camp.
In Kenshin Uesugi's story mode, the castle name is Gifu instead of Inabayama. If the player is slow to take the castle it will unlock the lower ending where Kenshin faces Shingen Takeda at Anegawa but if the player quickly takes the castle it will unlock the upper ending where he Kenshin faces Shingen at Kawanakajima.
Inabayama is absent in Samurai Warriors 2, but the battle returns in the third title. it is the first Chapter of Hanbei's story who serves under the Saito clan. Unlike the first title, Tatsuoki Saito commands the Saito forces as Yoshitatsu is already dead.

A Video-Based HCV Curriculum for Drug Users
The investigators hypothesize that a well-designed hepatitis C (HCV)video education curriculum for high-risk drug users will show measurable benefits in improving HCV testing, hepatitis A and B vaccinations, and HCV knowledge, attitudes, and motivations toward transmission behavior change. The investigators will use a 4-part modular video series designed for at-risk drug users, and in this 12 week study will assess its impact on testing/vaccinations as well as knowledge, attitudes, and motivations in methadone-maintained drug users as compared to a usual-care intervention.
Injection drug users are at high risk for contracting hepatitis C (HCV). Very few culturally-specific educational tools have been developed to improve outcomes in this population. We hypothesize that measurable improvements in HCV testing, hepatitis A and B vaccinations, and testable knowledge, attitudes, and motivations may be elicited by such a curriculum.
In this study, we will investigate the impact of a 4-module short video educational series on these measures in in-treatment drug users maintained on methadone. Subjects will be enrolled in 3 sequential cohorts of 150 each: usual care, a 4 weekly sequential video cohort, and a single-session intervention in which the 4 videos are viewed at once. Subjects will undergo written testing for knowledge, attitudes about transmission behaviors, and motivations toward behavior change before the intervention, 4 weeks after the intervention, and 12 weeks after the intervention. Additionally, we will measure and compare the rates of HCV testing and HAV/HBV vaccinations before and at the 12-week time point in all cohorts.

Hepatitis, Viral, Human
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).
A family of hepatotropic DNA viruses which contains double-stranded DNA genomes and causes hepatitis in humans and animals. There are two genera: AVIHEPADNAVIRUS and ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS. Hepadnaviruses include HEPATITIS B VIRUS, duck hepatitis B virus (HEPATITIS B VIRUS, DUCK), heron hepatitis B virus, ground squirrel hepatitis virus, and woodchuck hepatitis B virus (HEPATITIS B VIRUS, WOODCHUCK).
Video-audio Media
Used with articles which include video files or clips, or for articles which are entirely video.
Hepatitis A Virus
A species in the genus HEPATOVIRUS containing one serotype and two strains: HUMAN HEPATITIS A VIRUS and Simian hepatitis A virus causing hepatitis in humans (HEPATITIS A) and primates, respectively.
Hepatitis D
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS DELTA VIRUS, a defective RNA virus that can only infect HEPATITIS B patients. For its viral coating, hepatitis delta virus requires the HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGENS produced by these patients. Hepatitis D can occur either concomitantly with (coinfection) or subsequent to (superinfection) hepatitis B infection. Similar to hepatitis B, it is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact.

As I've mentioned before on this blog, I've never really had the best of luck with Night Shift's beers. This fairly new brewing outfit's attempts on extant styles tend towards being unspectacular, and their ostensibly-innovative ideas for new styles are often lists of interesting ingredients that fail to come together in a way that ultimately works. However, I have had several of this quite-hyped brewery's enjoyable barreled, fruited Berliner-style weisse beers that I enjoyed to a pretty good extent. Though flawed, these brews at least have the vision behind them to solidify the idea that maybe the three individuals behind Night Shift Brewing aren't merely lucky or wealthy "ascended homebrewers" (a term I coined a while back and actually used in my review for Ever Weisse that I reserve for inconsistent, lackluster or unprofessional breweries that somehow attained commercial status despite no evidence existing that they could or should do such a thing), but rather possible future-geniuses who just hadn't quite hit their stride or preferred style of beer. In addition, Night Shift has been solid, even great, when paired with other brewers in collaborative appearances, such as when these gents worked with Beer'd Brewing from Connecticut on Tropical Hydra, an intensely hoppy, bitter tropical fruit IPA that stood out to me as exemplary. Truly, though, it does seem like they're abnormally good at barrel sours, given the ratings and my personal experiences with their Weisse outings.
That brings me to this, well, accident. I'm going to come straight out of the gate and say that this is not good beer. It's not a good sour, it's not an "American wild ale", it's not even an "interpretation" of something they've brewed before, as they so cleverly try to market it on the label. For those at home, this is labeled as a sour version of their Bee Tea, a very homebrew-y honey/green tea wheat beer that wasn't really good to begin with, but which I could possibly see as being improved by a dose of Brettanomyces and lactobacillus/pediococcus cultures. No, this is none of the above, for sure. This is an infection, and not in a good sense; technically, most, if not all, "wild" fermented ales and lagers are infected. The difference is that many skilled brewers, blenders and biologists are behind the world's beloved sours, ensuring that the resulting beer is interesting, complex, tasty and, most important of all, intentional. As with all arts both classical and modern, brewing and blending requires attention to detail the likes of which very few people outside of the subculture of craft beer care about. Indeed, this is an accidental "sour" that happened to be marketable to one or more of the people involved with this brewery. Sour Tea, then, is an example of an infuriating trend that happens every so often in the current topology of the American craft beer scene: it's a mishap that got bottled under the clever marketing guise of being a "sour" (currently a term en vogue with many a discerning drinker, mind you), which, viewed at its very best, just so happens to display very little in the way of the finesse, control, dedication and artistry so deftly portrayed in the canon of American wilds and sour ales, and, taken at its worst, makes a mockery of the entire local craft-drinker population as gimmick-hungry tickers who will buy (and drink) anything once as long as it's "limited", listed as a sour beer, has a lot of extraordinary ingredients, or expresses any other of the innumerable qualities that raises its niche appeal.
Alright, I guess I should probably talk about the beer and stop ranting, right? I know most people probably skimmed those first couple paragraphs anyway, which is fair because they're very negative, but… seriously. It's even incredibly ugly! The pour is a ruddy brownish amber/burnished copper-orange with zero clarity. Head is taught and decently voluminous, lacing slightly as it initially pours out and as the foam declines. As a bit of background, Bee Tea was my first brush with Night Shift, and it rubbed me the wrong way right from the initial pour just like this; there is no refinement to the appearance here. The nose is heady and metallic with a sharp grassy, gamey tang and a slight suggestion of honeyed sweetness that is tempered heavily by a wafting vinegar acerbity almost immediately afterwards. A slight tinge of herbal green/Sencha tea hits here and there. The lacto/acetobacter infection happening hurts it big time, though. Shortly thereafter on the tongue is a rusty metal twinge that fades into a somewhat rye-like, chewy malt flavor (actually kind of akin to Upright Brewing's "Six" that I reviewed last December). There's a heavy dose of acetic sourness that tastes really off-putting and unrestrained. The finish is hot on alcohol and, unsurprisingly, lacks any kind of satisfying flavor, instead reminding me of phlegm and warm vomit. Along with the bulging, off-putting carbonation, this falls squarely in the "undrinkable" category. However, it's actually actively insulting (instead of being a "whoops, we let this get infected" deal, mind you) because this is a single batch of beer that is very, very clearly not intended to be traditionally (or non-traditionally) good. It is actually marketed very slyly to take advantage of buzzwords, hype and brand loyalty. Sour Tea is a wry joke on the consumer, and I feel really bad for falling for it. I've thought about it a lot at this point, and I'm not understanding how this could be seen as anything but a cash-grab from a screw-up at the brewery, and with none of the honesty that would logically entail.
I'm choking this down because I paid a decent chunk of money for it and, yes, I'm at least a smidgen bitter about how this went down, at least if my first few ranty paragraphs are any indication. I'm trying to muster more words, but they're all failing me here honestly. This isn't good beer, and it appears to me like it's actually trying to insult craft beer drinkers. As someone passionate about local beer, this is, in effect, directly insulting to people like myself. It seems as if Night Shift should either be disappointed in themselves for putting out something so very obviously "not right", or very happy they've distributed, for monetary gain, a failed "experiment" to so many willing and possibly unwitting passionate beer fans… both of which earn my utter disapproval. That means, though, that I'll also pass on that disapproval to others. I feel bad writing negative reviews sometimes, but I feel this unequivocally deserves to be outed as a blatant disaster. For shame, guys… I've got sour feelings for you now, that's for sure.
Style: American Strong Spiced Ale (I guess?)
Appearance: Burnt orange/copper with a decent foamy head that dies down over a fairly-long period; no clarity, a very unfiltered beer for sure
Scent: A lot of rusty iron, vinegar, honey malt and herbal tea earthiness; vinegar sharpness hits as well with a vague touch of rye and wheaty maltiness
Taste: A mess of acetic acid, tangy yogurt from the unrestrained lactobacillus, harshly sweet honey touches, heavy malty chew and metallic bitterness
Mouthfeel: Bullying and aggressive carbonation that I was surprised did not push through into a more voluminous pour. Slick, oily and lingering on the tongue
Drinkability: I think I've gone over this enough; avoid this one… "limited" releases should be exceptional, NOT accidental garbage. Cannot recommend

I didn't read too closely, but I assume you're taking the typical advice and using fire bricks as the oven floor? if so, the needed sand to level them plus their height alone will be plenty of mass between your heat and those bottles. seems like a fine way to take up some space.
another assumption I'm making is that your rock base is very secure... it looks fine in the photo, but one would want a base that some teenage boys could run up to, pounce on and spring off without a rock moving around. if that's what you've got, you're good to go.
