Gayle Pitman's Reviews > Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire
by Lisa Diamond (Goodreads Author)
by Lisa Diamond (Goodreads Author)
Gayle Pitman's review
bookshelves: lgbt-nonfiction
Aug 29, 11
bookshelves: lgbt-nonfiction
I wanted to like this book more. I have a profound respect for Lisa Diamond's research, and I think it took incredible courage for her to propose a new theory of sexual identity development - especially since it contradicts the firmly-entrenched "stage theories" of development. The writing style, however, was not particularly engaging, and I found the book to be tedious. Diamond's work has been groundbreaking, but I think the general public could easily lose interest. I also think that, while she made a pre-emptive strike against her anti-gay critics by arguing against the notion that sexual orientation is a choice, her argument contained so much scientific jargon that it could be considered to be evasive. I don't think that was her intention, but unfortunately her intentions could be misconstrued.

Crossing the border was quick and easy. First port of call was Akhaltsikhe for money, fuel, food, and a SIM card. All done in no time at all with minimal fuss. I like Georgia. Things are easy.
I took a short post lunch nap under a tree by a little stream and got woken up by an old farmer. We made some small talk in a mix of Russian and sign language. He asked me where I was from and I told him "Germany", to which he replied with a big smile "Heil Hilter", raised arm and everything. Oh well, what do you do? Just grin and continued to make small talk. I guess he wanted to be friendly and greet me in German.
A short dirt road ride out of town is the Sapara Monstary
My destination for today was Vardzia. The Khertvisi fortress is on the way and well worth a stop.
Vardzia is a cave monestary, hewn into the side of Erusheti Mountain on the bank of the Mtkvari River.
I checked into a basic hotel just across the Mtkvari river from the monastery. Another biker, who I had breakfast with before crossing the border from Turkey, also stayed there and we went to a little restaurant, where we joined a fun group of Australian and Canadian expats living in Tiblissi. Well, the food was great, the drink was great and plentiful. As the evening progressed we exchanged toasted with an extended Georgian family getting drunk at the next table over. One of the little girls was wearing an incredibly inappropriate t-shirt. I don't think the parents knew what was written on it.
When the restaurant closed we relocated to the bar in our hotel and had a few more drinks. Here is Hans Peter, who entertained us with his bike riding stories from Afghanistan, just before the Russian invasion. I wish he would write a report on here. Truly epic.
Well, needless to say we all had a killer hangover the next morning, except Hans Peter who got up and left bright and early. I decided to take a "rest day" and just lay under a tree by the river.
Eventually I did get moving and explored the area a little.
So it goes...

On to Armenia
Sorry for the lack of posts. What can I say, I have just been exceptionally busy at work in the last few weeks.
Where were we? Right, Georgia.
I decided to hop across the border to Armenia first before seeing more of Georgia.
There is an interesting bridge, made of an old train wagon, near Akhalkalaki
Car wreck fence or piece of art?
Coming up to the border
The border crossing was reasonably quick. There are insurance sales booths right at the exit of the border complex and it was reasonably cheap. I went ahead and bought insurance, not sure if it would have done me any good. I made the mistake of trying to buy a SIM card with 1 GB of data at the same place. We tried to get the Internet working for a while, but I had to admit defeat.
It's a pretty desolate border crossing, not all that much is happening
On the way to the Marmashen Monastery I rode right through a military base. The soldiers didn't seem to care all that much and even opened the gate for me.
The monastery was a great place to hang out and have a nap. Locals were queuing up to have a picture taken with my bike.
Stop for the night was Gyumri, the second largest city in Armenia, which suffered very serious and still very visible damage in the 1988 earthquake.
While looking for a hotel I ran into Graham Field and we joined forces. The hotel we met at turned kind of funny on us and we decided to go search for something else, which took a while and we got some funny looks when we tried to get rooms at a brothel (looked nice from the outside).
There was some sort of festivity going on in town with a free concert, preceded by a speech from the prime minister. Everyone turned up in their Sunday best and I felt a bit under dressed. We finished the night with a few drinks.
Despite all the problems people are rebuilding the cathedral. Take that as an example Christchurch!.

On to Yerevan
My laptop started acting up in the morning. I knew I had to open it up and thus spend the morning looking for a small Torx screwdriver , SIM card and USB charger. This was surprisingly easy.
Merc and Lada
Local H&M branch
Armenian Road
First stop was Harischavank, dating back to the 13th centuary.
Leaving the monastery, I got stopped by two cops for speeding. The speed limit sign was right there and they had a video of me. So it was all legit (although there was no reason for a speed limit in that particular spot). They were nice and one even called his wife so she could explain the situation to me. The fine was $10 or $15. He had the ticket written and I was ready to pay. Just as he was about to hand the ticket over, he saw the little Turkish flag on the back of my bike. I knew immediately that this would be trouble. He got pretty upset and made it pretty clear that there was no sympathy lost for Armenia's neighbor. Well, luckily I had some picture from Ani, the medieval Armenian capital (now in Turkey), that I had visited a few years back. So I just kept chatting in Russian and English while showing him the pictures. That calmed him down. In the end he even tore up the ticket and let me off without a fine. Well, maybe one day Armenia and Turkey can be on better terms. I think there is some hope. If Germany and France can get along after the atrocities of WWI and WWII. Can't we all just get along?
By lucky coincidence I found one of the B&Bs in Yerevan right away. I had jotted down a few addresses in the morning. Great place with save parking. The proprietors little brother, on school break from the US, was running the place.
I found Yerevan to be a great city. If you are into art, the cities museums and public places are treasure trove. Lot's to see and do.
I was having a stroll near the Art museum one evening and I was wondering why there are so many people out and about. All of the sudden a Charles Aznavour song started playing and fountains erupted all around me.
I guess everyone, except me, knew this was going to happen. The crowd got really into it, singing and dancing along. It lasted for more than an hour.
I replaced the faulty RAM in my laptop. The first shop, 10 minutes from where I stayed had the exact type I needed. I also managed to break my beloved wide angle lens. It's my favorite and had been a bit dodgy for a while. The owner of the B&B pointed me to the Armenian version of Ebay where, to my amazement, I found the exact same lens. He made a phone call for me and 20 minutes later I had a replacement for a reasonable price.
I also got a slow leak in my rear fixed. I guess my repair job in Turkey wasn't up to scratch. The tire repair shop was someone's garage down the road. I left a couple of dollars poorer and with a handful of tire patches and well wishes from everyone around.
Everything just seemed to work out in Yerevan! I even listened to Radio Yerevan

All good things must come to an end and so it was time to leave Yerevan. I decided to explore Nagorno-Karabakh.
On the way I stopped to see Khor Virap, an Apostolic monastery with the spectacular backdrop of Mount Ararat.
In 2009 I had a similarly spectacular view of Mount Ararat from the Iranian side.
Nagorno-Karabak is a de-facto independent country that is not recognized by any other country. There is a long and fascinating history. In short, open fighting broke out in the early 90s and many lost their lifes. Despite a cease fire agreement in 1994, the situation remains mostly unresolved.
In practical terms, there was only one road in and out. The "border guards" were about as friendly as East German border guards in the 80s. They checked my passport and gave me the address of a place in Stepanakert were I had to get my "visa". That's right, you first enter and then you get a visa. However, the guy at the visa place was exceptionally friendly and full of good advise. It was all done in 15 minutes. My little Canon point and shot, which I mostly use while on the go, was out of commission and I tried to fix it in Stepanakert with the help of two very friendly shop owners. I got lots of cookies and coffee, but couldn't actually fix the camera.

Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
I made it to the village of Vank on a mostly OK road. The village is home to the Eclectica Hotel, a.k.a. Titanic Hotel.
This is the strangest of places and Vank village is very different from the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh. The hotel was a bit too eclectic for my taste and I decided to head up to Gandzasar monstery to find a place to camp.
Well, what do you know. There was a group of very friendly hikers from Armenia camping in the church yard. I got talking to one of their leaders and she assured me it would be very much OK to pitch my tent next to them.
This was followed by an invitation to dinner, along with a few drinks. The evening ended with all of us playing Charades and someone successfully pantomiming "Hitler only had one testicle". Seriously impessed!
The next morning I rode to Dadivank, at the other end of Nagorno-Karabakh. The roads were non existent for large parts and this was a very enjoyable adventure.
The signs of recent armed conflict are still visible everywhere.
There is only one way in and out of Nagorno-Karabakh and I had to backtrack from Dadivank, via Stepanakert
all the way to the crossing back into Armenia. I ended up in lovely Goris for the night. The town has few very decent hotels and an excellent restaurant.

Lake Sevan
The next day I was one of those "throw buckets of water at everyone" days. Not sure what the particular occasion was but I definitely had to be on the lookout and pack my cameras away.
Not far from Goris is Carahunge (a.k.a. Karahunj, a.k.a.Zorats Karer), oftenbilled as the "Armenian Stonehenge.
More recent research by Munich University indicates that the site was probably a necropolis from the Middle Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
Nearby is a modern art installation
I found an old caravansary at the side of the road
In the end I got sick and tired of the hordes of drunk drivers on the road on Sunday and I found myself a nice quiet camping spot on the east shore of Lake Sevan.

Manic Miner is an 1983 video game. Willy has discovered an automated, abandoned for untold centuries, mine in Surbiton.The good news is, the mine machinery has been piling up wealth which is there for the taking; the bad news is, it's still active and doesn't take kindly to intruders...This game became controversial when a number of Bug-Byte programmers left to found Software Projects, and Matthew Smith used a contract loophole to take Manic Miner with him.Manic Miner is also famed as the first Spectrum game to feature a backing track alongside the sound effects, a feat previously considered impossible as the Speccy only had one sound channel. This was done by arpeggiated multiplexing: the tune and the effects were both played as a rapid staccato, and interleaved with each other. The title screen also features an attempt at two note chords using a similar method. The resulting rendition of The Blue Danube did not work quite so well.Spawned a sequel, Jet Set Willy. A second sequel, Miner Willy Meets the Taxman, was announced but never released — indeed, probably never even started.
Manic Miner contains examples of the following:

Over all the place was good. Had good quiet neighbors. The staff and maintenance was also quick to respond to Read Moreany problems I had. Only downfalls were 1) living so close to train and2) had a mouse problem in the beginning. If you don't have a washer /dryer right away, make sure you plug the air vent as that is how they came in.

They lost my rent check twice. It was a money order bought from a store that couldn't be stopped. Then when as Read Moreked about the process of handling checks. I was explained that they open the envelopes of checks and dump them all together on the table. Therefore they lost it twice. I can think and suggested different ways they could more effectively open and credit rent checks. None were out into place all that happened is I had to pay double my rent to avoid late fees.

It may be about war, a local massacre, or a car accident. Our children see so much violence they have almost become immune to it. Therefore, can someone please explain to me the Need for a wolf hunt? These magnificent creatures were once almost lost to us because of our ignorance. Are we going to allow this again? There is only One reason to hunt or trap wolves and that is for the Fun and Thrill of the kill. Their flesh will not be eaten and no one in their right mind would display a pelt. The wolves arent destructive. Yes, there are rouge wolves that cause damage and should be dealt with by the appropriate authorities, but all the wolves have the same ability to cause destruction and they dont. Fisherman - they help maintain trout streams because they are a natural predator to the beaver that destroys trout streams. Coyotes are afraid of wolves so they dont stay in the area. Black bears eat more fawns than wolves. Isnt there enough violence and destruction in our world? Why cant we appreciate the beauty in nature? Why do we always have to destroy? Rocci Downs, D.V.M, Amberg Dear Editor, I am deeply troubled by the reluctance of anyone running for political office to not want Voter I.D.

With about one in six people expected to have some form of dementia, how will Obamacare, Medicare or Medicaid solve this immense problem? This is where Sarah Palins assumption of rationed care has merit. With limited funds available, if one person has solvable health problems and is able to contribute to society while another has dementia and is unable to contribute, who will receive the most funds? Rationed health care? You make the call because many other health conditions would be involved. There are huge problems with no clear solutions. Contributions for research, local involvement and great public awareness are needed. Willard E. Lund, Madison, member, mens support group, Alzheimers and Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin Letter to the Editor: Rep. Tom Tiffany is running for State Senate in the 12th Senate District, and I think he is the right person for the job. Tom is a small business owner in Rhinelander, and he worked during the last legislative session to make sure that our state's budget was balanced. He helped turn a $3.6 million deficit into a surplus without raising taxes. Tom is committed to keeping our budget balanced and cutting red tape in government. Tom is also committed to ensuring that we use our natural resources in a responsible, yet beneficial way by promoting tourism in our beautiful part of the state and by utilizing the forest products industry more fully. Tom wants to bring jobs north of Highway 29 and put our economy back on track. I support Tom and I hope you will too! Rep. Jeff Mursau is seeking re-election in the 36th Assembly District. He also is a small businessman and lives in Crivitz. Jeff currently chairs the Assembly Committee on Forestry as well as the Natural Resources Committee and is on the Agriculture Committee. These committees are all vital to our area of the state. Jeff has also been a strong supporter of motorized recreation (snowmobile and ATV) and making more public land available for hunting. I've personally worked with Jeff on some of these issues and I know that he is out there working hard every day for ordinary folks in his District. Due to legislative redistricting some of you may be voting for either or both of these candidates for the 1st time. I can assure you that neither of them will run to Illinois nor hide from the sometimes tough decisions that we expect our legislators to make. Please vote for Tom and Jeff in the upcoming elections. They both did build their own business and will work hard to create jobs and prosperity for residents of the far northeast corner of Wisconsin. John Brantmeier, Townsend Dear Editor, I'm growing weary of hearing about corporations and small businesses calling themselves job creators. The working class are the true job creators. We buy things, build things and hire services. Businesses try to pretend they employ us as some kind of noble and patriotic thing. Truth is they hire us because they make money off our labor and skills. If we get hurt on the job and they didn't have to pay us workman's compensation, they wouldn't. If they lay us off and didn't have to pay unemployment, they wouldn't. If we were killed on the job and didn't have to compensate our families, they wouldn't. If they didn't have to offer us healthcare to keep us from going somewhere else , they wouldn't. No matter what they say about what they need to create jobs they won't hire anyone unless they can sell their product or services. Businesses want to be protected by the worlds greatest Army, the best Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, use our satellite network, roads, water, school system and much more but don't want to pay taxes. So remember the next time employers tell you how much you need them, remind them how much they need you. Danny Cole, Abrams Dear Editor, On Saturday, Sept. 29 is the Crivitz Area Food Pantry 1st ever Open House for the community. We are inviting the public and our donors to visit our new location, generously donated to us by K.C. Stock. The Open House will be from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, at the new site located at the Cruisers Yachts Building, 305 Hall Ave. (down the street from the High School). Please join us and see how your donation dollars are kept locally. The open house coincides with the Crivitz Business Associations Annual Fall Craft fair. Admission to the Craft Fair, being held at Crivitz High School, is a donation to the Food Pantry. All of the proceeds from the Crivitz Business Association craft fair entrance, and raffle benefit the pantry. As we enter the holiday season, we find our client numbers increasing and any and all donations are gratefully accepted. We are a 501(c) (3). Our mailing address for donations is PO Box 398, Crivitz, WI 54114. We hope you can stop by and see us on Saturday.

Senior Member
apparently hes supposed to be a tank...some games ive played with him he does his job and other times he gets bursted down to oblivion..ive played using various tank builds and it seems no matter what i do hes pretty useless end game. he does almost no damage end game and can be ignored almost like mundo. only thing hes useful for is his ult which is just meh...thoughts?
Wylde Kat
yer doin it wrong.
how do you do it?
Giltia Zero
What is Malphite: Flexible.
Best Zod NA
I believe some sort of animate rock formation?
Ur little sister
He shines:
* In smaller battles (3v3). He's good at shutting a couple of targets down, but his lack of hard cc (aside from the obvious one) makes him lack in larger battles. He's not that good at "protecting the carry", but he is good at "weakening the ennemies".
* In ganking teams. Great initiation, slow to follow up with and increased movement speed for the chase. This rock can gank. Once your team gets on the defensive end of things, he gets it rough.
* Against physical damage teams. He can be a valuable counterpick to a team that focusses too much on AD, kind of like rammus.
The standard role for him would be offtank, possibly jungle. I've seen him tank, but if the ennemy is high on mobility, survivability or cc, he's got a problem. (Well, his ashe has got a problem ). He is a great initiator, is quite beefy, has some disruption, and also has decent damage with jungling potential. Leaning more towards offtank than tank due to the lack of hard cc.
His weakness is that he is not viable in every team.
If the opponents out-cc or outassassin you, malphite is generally a bad pick.
Many other champions are always viable in their specific role (try to find one team on which sona doesn't fit as the support, shen will always be a valuable tank, ashe will always be a good ranged carry pick, jarvan will always shine as offtank, and find me 1 balanced team on which annie and malzahar are bad AP picks...) Malphite is not such a character.
thanks really insightful
He can be played as tank, tanky ap, or tanky dps.
In lane, he's a good pick for solo top, solo mid against squishies, or bot duo lane for zoning.
Primarily, he should get some HP and armor/mr, if you are really fed, you may start to build some AP. Or if you are really farmed, (200 farm by lv16-18) you may also want to build a trinity as your 5th of 6th item, after all your tanky items for some heavy damage. If you are soloing top, you may get an early rod of ages and also stack up some AP.
My friend has played pure AP malphite mid and raped in lane against squishies like Annie, Lux, Mf, and Ezreal by building Dorans Rings, Rabadons, and other tanky AP items like zhonyas and abyssal.
Malphite is situational. He is good against heavy phscial teams but probably not the best choice against heavy AP teams. He hasn't got any extra defence or ability against AP champs.
I play him from time to time and i think he lacks something. Lategame he really seems to ignoreable.
His passive is nice on the lane but useless later...It should scale when he levels up.

LightSquared, the wireless broadband baby of hedge fund manager Phil Falcone, has proposed a "three-part" solution for resolving the GPS interference issues that threaten to shut the network down before it even starts.
In a statement released Thursday, LightSquared, which is majority owned by Falcone's hedge fund Harbinger Capital Management, blames GPS device manufacturers for a) designing products "that depend on using spectrum assigned to other FCC licensees" and b) offering no solution to the problem other than calling on the government to "block LightSquared from using the company's own spectrum to roll out the first wholesale-only wireless broadband network for the entire nation."
LightSquared says the problem could have been avoided if the GPS industry had equipped their devices with cheap filters.
"This issue will be resolved by good data, smart engineers and good faith problem solving dialog. The end-result will be continuity for the reliable and safe GPS system we have come to depend on along with a new high speed wireless network that will provide huge benefits to consumers,'' said Sanjiv Ahuja, LightSquared chairman and CEO.
Tests submitted to federal regulators Thursday confirm that LightSquared does interfere with GPS services, although LightSquared claims its proposed solution resolves interference for about 99.5% of all commercial GPS devices.
The GPS industry says this isn't good enough. Jim Kirkland, vice president of GPS firm Trimble, told the Washington Post, "There is no existing technology that solves this interference, only unproven claims of hypothetical future fixes."
The FCC has said it won't allow LightSquared to launch its business until the interference question is answered. The WP quotes FCC spokesman Neil Grace as saying the agency will review the report it received Thursday.
"The FCC has a long-standing record of resolving interference disputes based on engineering data," Grace said. "Our nation cannot afford to let spectrum go underutilized. America's economic growth and global competitiveness are on the line."

Leadership Conference Statement on the D.C. Public Schools and the Washington Teachers Union Labor Agreement
April 8, 2010 - Posted by Wade Henderson
"The Leadership Conference applauds the tentative labor agreement reached this week between the D.C. Public Schools and the Washington Teachers Union after two years of negotiation and the mediation of Howard Law School Dean Kurt Schmoke.
As the nation's premier civil and human rights coalition, The Leadership Conference believes that quality education is a civil right for every child. This agreement demonstrates the mutual desire of teachers and school administrators to work together to make that right a reality for the District's children. It also recognizes that quality teaching is the most important factor in providing a quality education and provides the District's teachers, who often work under challenging conditions, with the tools and support they need to succeed.
Once this agreement is ratified, it will be up to everyone – administrators, teachers, parents, community leaders and the elected and appointed leaders of the District – to build an environment where teaching and learning are valued, and where children develop the skills and knowledge they will need to enter college and the 21st century workforce. If well implemented, this agreement and the D.C. Public Schools can serve as examples for the nation on how to work collaboratively to ensure a quality education for all children."

Graduation Promise Act Aims to Increase High School Graduation Rates
October 1, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
According to the Alliance for Excellent Education, approximately 1.2 million students do not graduate from high school in four years, if at all. Most of these dropouts come from minority and low-income communities, further widening the opportunity gap.
High school dropouts are more likely to experience poverty, poor health, and incarceration during their adult lives than people who graduate from high school. The dropout crisis comes at a high economic cost for both the individual and society – resulting directly in lost wages and high government expenditures. It has been estimated that the dropouts from the class of 2008 will cost the United States almost $319 billion in lost income over their lifetime.
The Alliance suggests that the role of the federal government (PDF) should focus on developing a common set of standards for American high schools by aligning assessments and creating common definitions of proficiency and graduation rates. The ultimate goal is to increase the number of graduates and ensure that these graduates are prepared for either college or the workplace.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D. N.M., recently introduced the Graduation Promise Act (GPA), a bill aimed at minimizing the number of high school dropouts and turning around low- performing high schools.
The GPA would provide approximately $2.5 billion of federal funding in the form of competitive grants to high schools with the highest dropout rates. About $2.44 billion of that money would be used for the High School Improvement and Dropout Reduction Fund, which would encourage schools to develop partnerships with local communities.
Another $60 million would be for districts, charter schools, non-profits, and colleges for the implementation of innovative school models that help struggling students and students who have dropped out.
House Passes Bill to Expand Access to College
September 18, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA), a bill that will make college more accessible to millions of young people. The vote was 253-171.
Student advocacy organizations like the United States Students Association and Campus Progress lauded the bill's passage, which comes at a time when colleges are becoming increasingly more unaffordable and the number of students graduating with more than $25,000 of student loan debt is multiplying.
SAFRA will improve early education through new investments in a prekindergarten grant program and funding for school facilities. The bill will also expand the federal direct lending program and keep interest rates low on need-based student loans.
The largest sum of money – $40 billion – will be used to increase the maximum annual Pell Grant, a need-based federal scholarship that helps low-income families pay for college. Another $2.55 billion will be invested in historically black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions to increase the number of students that graduate. More money will also be invested in community colleges across America to improve both their courses and facilities.
