My birthday has come: reflections on 2013 VOF journey so far

The pain of labor engulfed me
This was labor like I had never seen before
My swollen heart was ready
My swollen head was ready
Perspiring heavily I heard the doctor tell me to hold on
"NOOOOOOOO" I screamed. It was time
I knew it. My neighbour entered the room and told me to be reasonable
Who was I to change the order of things? I almost gave in but then I thought quickly, if not me then who and I pushed again
The contractions were faster now and so were the doubts. Other women shunned me and told me not to be overzealous
"A child giving birth" they said. "She still has milk on her nose what does she know and what can she tell us?" A lot I thought as another contraction came.
The nurse was no better as she told me to behave otherwise I would kill my child. Oh I could feel my pregnant belly and I knew my child was alive and would live.
Then I was jolted to reality. I had to push, it was time my baby needed to be born and the time was now.
As I felt another contraction my aunt told me that I was too forward for a woman. Silence is a woman's weapon she said. "Suffer in silence daughter of my brother. Do not embarrass us." But why I asked should I be quiet.
Her words almost brought the baby out "because you are a woman, that's why". This was too much had my mother been told this same rhetoric to remain in a bad relationship? And my sister…
I was brought out of my reverie by the doctor's sharp call to stop pushing. But I'm not pushing I said. The baby was due and would not be stopped. My life suddenly flashed before my eyes
I remembered being in a line, blood, yes embarrassment, menstruation, my friends taking drugs and family planning tablets to stop menstruation because their husbands hated it and they were scared they would be left. What kind of life was that? I saw my mother holding on to the last to her marriage for what would she be called if she divorced my dad, my aunt being thrashed in front of the whole neighbourhood and never reporting it once. Had my uncle not said that he would leave any woman who dared report him to the police? But she was injured. She could not go to the hospital because they wanted a police report first. Then the next thing she was gone. Beaten to death by her husband. a man who had said he loved her. No justice for her. "She deserved it", some whispered "such a stubborn woman, did she think she was a man." My heart went out to -scream -another violent contraction had come and I was powerless to stop it- I almost wept. The time was now but the doctor and nurses shook their heads. Not yet, not yet but the baby is coming I screamed." No" they said. This is not your time. You have forgotten your place. My mind went back to a colleague who committed suicide because of a domestic issue, my neighbour's niece raped and denied justice, scarred and afraid to walk because of a man who now walked scot free, girls subdued to silence who would never see the light of empowerment, who would leave regressing into the past. I could see the extinction of women and empty shells replacing the warm women I knew, hardworking, resilient hopeful, loving. But how could I help.
With all my strength I screamed and everyone almost jumped out of their skins. Yes I needed to give them voice, I screamed much louder and I knew my baby had arrived. My birthday had come, my voice had been found and yes that day I knew the work ahead of me but the first step had been made. My birthday had come, my voice had been born. I live now for a society where women are treated equally, given equal opportunities, educated and empowered. thirty one powerful, unstoppable voices born!
We are the voices of our future. We have been born, we have a voice. We will stand up for our rights and the rights of all marginalised women in our societies until they also find their voices and offer solutions for change.
Whilst reading the 2013 VOF assignments just realised that the issues being brought out are crucial and will change the paradigm. The best part is there is hope, solutions are there. We can change the world one step at a time and together we will finish the journey, one teaspoonful at a time and together we will move the mountains or create them, one drop at a time and together we will fill the oceans.

Let your light shine!
Moved and speechless...
I find myself at your doorstep! Your story is deep and touching beyond my words' ability to explain. "But why I asked should I be quiet? " This line struck me deep because I ask it everday, only to be faced with the same ugly answer "because I am a woman". Silent no more we are!
Roar louder my dear! Scream loud and clear! Let the whole world hear!
Much love, and respect dear Pelamutunzi!
The power of what you have liberated in this writing has reverberated throughout human consciousness and impacted all women everywhere. I am in awe of your courage and that of all the women sharing this journey.

This is an absolutely beautiful description of the VOF journey.
You deserve to be here.
I enjoyed reading every bit of this.
Thank you for sharing!
My pen speaks
Screaming Along With You
Dear Pelamutunzi,
Your story is so vividly unjust and exquisitely painful, as I read it I could feel myself inwardly screaming along with you, a primal scream for fairness, for the slow, agonizing birth of new life as old, wretched, cruel customs die, die!
Your scream, your VOICE, is already making a difference and your story opens many eyes.
I wish you peace and joy, which you so sorely deserve,
Sarah Whitten-Grigsby
You ARE
Dear Pela,
Have no doubt, you ARE making a difference.
I am honored to have read your piece.
With Love,
Sarah Whitten-Grigsby
Pela- My stomach tightens. My
My stomach tightens.
My breath freezes.
My voice quiets.
I am transported to a place where I hear the voices of agony and triumph. I see blood and birth. I feel pain and cautious joy.
Now I can breathe. Now I can see. There is a new life, and she will change her world!
Let us Hope together-
aka: Cali gal
Ah, Pela, You've Done It Again
Why is it that your work always moves me to tears? The entire VOF community salutes you on your birthday. Let there be cake and ice cream, dancing in the streets and loud choruses of appreciation for you, your voice and your vision.
Too Powerful
Pela this is absolutely imaginative. I read through this article and I was moved beyond explanation. Keep up the good work dear.

When I was a kid I saved up money until I could afford one of those big boxes of yugioh cards for 80$ it came with 36 packs and I sold them at 3 dollars a piece because our general store sold them at 5 dollars a piece. Me and my friend then took highschool by storm by playing yu gi oh with over the top dramatic voices in the school library every day, by the end of the first month we had convinced over 30 people to take up yu gi oh (out of a 90 person school) and we would hold tournaments at my friends house on the weekends where I would sell the packs. By the beginning of my second semester freshman year I had saved up 400 dollars by ordering a box of cards every week and making a 30$ profit per box sold, I became known as the 'dealer' and the teachers eventually got mad at me for turning the library into what was essentially a card shop.

December 20, 2014
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Royals acquired outfielder Carlos Peguero from the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday for a player to be named or cash.
The 26-year-old Peguero has spent parts of the last three seasons with Seattle. He is a career .195 hitter with nine home runs and 27 RBIs in 219 at-bats in the majors.
He ranked seventh in the Pacific Coast League with 19 homers in 2013, along with a .260 batting average, 28 doubles and 83 RBIs at Triple-A Tacoma. Peguero was designated for assignment on Jan. 16 when the Mariners signed free agent catcher John Buck.
Kansas City also designated left-handed pitcher Everett Teaford for assignment. Teaford made one appearance for the Royals in 2013, pitching two-thirds of an inning at Cleveland on July 14.
Seattle also agreed to a minor league contract with 32-year-old right-hander Scott Baker, who had elbow ligament replacement surgery in April 2012. He made three starts for the Chicago Cubs last September, pitching 15 innings with a 3.60 ERA and no record. Baker has a 63-48 record with a 4.14 ERA in 162 starts and four relief appearances with Minnesota (2005-11) and the Cubs.

This is probably the best Crave game out there. It's (duh) a game about pinball! It has pretty good graphics and it's sorta fun to learn about classic pinball tables.

Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- South African stocks will climb more than 15 percent in 2012, recovering from their worst performance in three years, as rising mining production and domestic demand boost earnings, Citigroup Inc. said.
A high portion of domestically sourced earnings add to the "defensiveness" of Africa's biggest economy, compared with other emerging-market peers, Richard Schellbach, South Africa strategist at Citigroup, said in an e-mailed comment yesterday. The FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index has declined 1 percent this year, the worst since a 27 percent slump in 2008.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King Review: "Girls Night Out"by Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
Why did Chloe get a smile on her face when she met the new Mai girls? Haven't Valentina, Jasmine and Alek made it clear that everyone is out to get her? Any new acquaintance should be suspect until they prove themselves otherwise. How can the Uniter be so open and still say safe?
Did anyone really think that a simple night of dancing could possibly be just that? One of the sisters (honestly, I couldn't tell them apart) took a human into the bathroom and kissed him to death.
Amazingly he was spread out across three stalls, and not one girl sent out an alarm before they left. I've been to clubs, and I know how often girls to to the restroom. To think that not one hit the stalls all night is just not possible. I hope that last week's episode of reasonable plausible deniability wasn't just a fluke.
There are only so many things I can be expected to believe, and a three stall dead sprawled man is not one of them.At least we know that the rumor is true; a Mai can kiss a human to death. But it seems like more than a simple kiss is needed to do the trick.
I can't get over the stupidity of Chloe in "Girls Night Out". That she just latched onto the sisters as if they were her new BFFs showed she hasn't learned a thing.
Brian gets more boring every episode, but he'll be sticking around to prove himself to his dad. Prove what, I don't know. At first I had great hope for them as a couple, but there is little about them to enjoy. All they do is have run ins and apologize to each other. Bah.
Where the heck was Alek? It is nice, I guess, to have a female dominated show on the air. Men and boys are definitely hard to come by on The Nine Lives of Chloe King, and there is a lot of girl on girl fight action to enjoy. That must be making somebody happy.
I liked that Amy didn't get upset when Chloe told her she put Paul up to the "night to remember" date. On other shows, the best friend would hold it against her and be mad that Paul couldn't come up with it on his own. The actual interaction was a good show of friendship.
Too bad Paul missed the mark. It did make me laugh to see him laying there, so sure of himself, while Amy practically died of embarrassment.
I am really trying to like this show. In an interview, Skyler Samuels said that by the time they were filming the later episodes it felt like a completely different show. Now I don't know whether that is good news or bad news, considering where we are in the season. What I do know is that with no Valentina and no Alek, I found the episode to be void most of its charm. How about you?

This was my favorite episode so far. I was going to stop recroding it...but now I'll keep going. Looks like it's going my way and not with the general population. That's not good for anyone. Alek bugs me.
Blah! Valentina or Alek should have been around to help keep Chloe safe especially since the rival Mai were going kill Chloe! Bad writing! The interactions between Chloe and her mom, Chloe and Amy and Paul are fine. I liked that Paul was genre-savy about the sisters.
I missed Alek so much this episode , it wasn't the same without him. I agree Brian is just boring , I don't have anything against the actor but I just don't like him. Alek has charm and Chloe and Alek has a lot of chemistry together . I also like Valentine she is a very interesting character . I really hope that the rest of the episode have more Chalek and more Valentine , I like the Jasmine scenes she is too a character a would love to see more of.
Definitely missing something without Alek in the lineup. And it makes no sense that Jasmine didn't ask Valentina for help with the Sisters From Sao Paulo. During each encounter with the two sisters I expected Valentina and/or Alek to at least make an appearance. I was glad to see that Chloe's mother finally acknowledged that Chloe has been acting differently recently and asked her about it. I was beginning to think she was the world's least observant mother. Paul's bedroom faux pas; hilarious!!! I was thinking that Paul was going to take Amy to some sort of social misfit gala. What happened was so much better. Brian's key; I was sure he was going to see a locked drawer in his father's desk that it would open.
Team Brian, but I didn't like this episode.
Where was Alek? He like MAKES this show. Seriously - their chemistry onscreen is half the reason I Watch the show.
it didnt show the guy butt naked sheesh. it just showed his arms and half of his chest and there didnt have a sex scene
Totally agree with you, this episode was more boring than an ep of Charmed you know by heart and have for the past six years. Brian is def getting lamer and lamer, and an ep without Alek is seriously taking away my will to watch the next ep. Throughout the full forty minutes I was like "oh come on Alek....show up already..." and I hate that they go back on their storyline: So a mai can kiss a human, but has to follow certain rules or what? I mean seriously, it's what that guy in "murder by death" critizes in the end. holding back info and springing something you wrote impossible at first to become possible is bad writing.
and the reason why I think that Aloe/Chloek is better than any Brian/chloe pairing is EXACTLY because Alek is such a jerk. He's damaged, so we forgive him, but Brian (who should be just as damaged with a murdered mother and a dysfunctional relationship with his dad)is normal. He's too normal for his own problems/character and that makes all of Brian seem surreal (and that in a show where fiction is the main theme and bends all the rules!). But if they're continuing with the Brian/chloe relationship, at least let them put more of Alek on the screen, cause otherwise this show wouldn't be watchable anymore...
Definitely boring, and why did two Brazilian girls have American accents :)
Well, i for one thought the episode EXTREMELY boring, like the article said, no valentina and no alek (especially no alek) was a major mistake. The only part that i really liked was the fight scene and the paul & amy incident (which was HILARIOUS). Alek and chloe belong together, they have a lot more chemistry, he truly cares about her and strives to protect her from harm, he's charming, good looking and a mai descendant. Meanwhile, the "forbidden love" thing with chloe and brian should at least be a bit more interesting, but it isn't. And i hope the producers know that if Alek and Chloe don't end up together, then they will definitely see a ginormous drop in viewers.

Megan Wegge, 12, donated hair to honor a friend killed by cancer. Now it's Megan who faces a life-and-death battle.
Megan Wegge
Photo: e
DULUTH -- When Megan Wegge twice donated her long, blond hair to "Locks of Love," she didn't know that when she was 12 she would lose all of her own hair to the effects of chemotherapy.
When she laid the groundwork for her own business, "Chocolate for Children," to raise money for pediatric cancer research, Megan didn't know she would be diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
When Megan played in the state tournament with her Moose Lake U12B hockey team in March, she had no idea that by the end of May she and her mom would be temporary residents of Bloomington, Ind., preparing for a form of radiation treatment available in only nine places in the country.
Megan, mom Jodi, dad Dan, older sister Lindsey and her triplet brother and sister Nicholas and Brooke moved to Moose Lake less than five years ago from Arlington, Minn. Before that, they lived in Cummings, N.D., where they were close friends of Jim and Denise Murphy and their son, Johnny. When Johnny lost his battle with cancer in 2005 at age 11, it had a profound effect on the Wegge children, especially Megan.
"She had wanted to do something in honor of Johnny, so she's donated her hair to Locks of Love two times," Jodi Wegge said from a hotel room in Bloomington, where she and Megan are beginning a seven-week stay. "She came up with an idea to make chocolates, and she named her little company Chocolate for Children."
Life went on, and for Megan, a lot of that revolved around hockey. She and friend Asia Gobel were on that U12B hockey team that competed in Grand Rapids on March 18-20.
Megan hadn't been feeling well for a while, especially that week. She stayed home from school every day, but her mother told her she would have to go to school on Thursday or not compete in the state tourney. She went to school.
"Come to find out here she's skating at the state tournament with this ruptured malignant tumor," Jodi Wegge said. "Never complained. Gave it her all. Pretty amazing."
Megan had been sick off and on for weeks. Tests administered during clinic and emergency room visits revealed nothing. "And she just kept getting worse, and I felt like I was just watching her wither away in our bed," Jodi Wegge said. She called her husband, a contractor building houses in North Dakota.
"I said, 'Dan, something's not right.' He said, 'Well, take her back in.'"
The clinic scheduled a CAT scan for the morning of April 14. An hour after they got home, Jodi got a call. They should go to Children's Hospital in St. Paul; doctors were waiting. A softball-sized mass was in Megan's liver.
About 10 that night, a doctor walked into Megan's room and said he was her primary oncologist. "And that was the first we'd heard the cancer word," Jodi Wegge said.
The cancer was diagnosed as undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver -- "undifferentiated" meaning highly malignant. The good news was that doctors removed all of the tumor, along with half of Megan's liver. The bad news was the tumor had ruptured into her abdomen. Because of that, "she's a lot higher risk of a relapse or this cancer starting somewhere else," Jodi Wegge said. "Because there's so few people [with this form of cancer], there isn't any clear data on how to treat it."
Chemotherapy and radiation were prescribed. Megan's hair started to fall out, and on May 10 Jodi shaved Megan's head. Family friend Cathleen Nummela said losing her hair didn't faze Megan.
"She went to the school and talked about how everybody tells her she's beautiful even without hair."
When a child is seriously ill, parents become experts in that disease. Jodi Wegge, concerned about the effects of radiation, read about something called proton therapy.
She and Megan's radiation oncologist, Dr. Patsa Sullivan, started calling proton therapy centers. Houston; Loma Linda, Calif.; Boston. They couldn't fit Megan in soon enough. On the evening of May 20, Sullivan reached Dr. Jeff Buchsbaum of the Indiana University Proton Therapy Center by cell phone. Buchsbaum had the day off and was shopping with in-laws. In a telephone interview, he said it was the fourth referral he'd gotten that day.
"We are committed to not making a child wait," Buchsbaum said. "We're committed to not making anybody wait. I told Dr. Sullivan, just send her, I'll figure it out."
One of the IU center's focuses is treating children, and Buchsbaum is passionate about it. "We will do whatever it takes. ... That's our calling."
A mold was made of Megan's body so metal rings could be designed to introduce radiation where it's needed. Buchsbaum showed them the 90-ton proton therapy unit, housed in a room three stories high.
Megan has a good sense of humor, Buchsbaum said. "She has a very good smile. She is, as are most children who have these kinds of problems, she is wise beyond her years. I think Megan is a very strong and very sweet girl. And I think that she's got the right constitution to survive this and get through it.
"The question is going to be ultimately, is it going to work?"
The targeted beams will spare many of Megan's organs, but her right kidney won't survive. So mother and daughter made the 90-minute drive to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis for a test to find out how much of the load that kidney bears. If it's more than 50 percent, some kind of kidney surgery will be needed before radiation can begin. Riley is also where Megan will continue to receive chemotherapy while she's in Indiana.
At home, relatives and family friends are taking turns staying with the children, because Dan Wegge still has to spend most of his time in North Dakota.
A benefit for Megan and her family is planned for June 12 at Doc's Sports Bar in Sturgeon Lake, with a kids' carnival, spaghetti dinner, silent auctions and raffles every half-hour.

Winter Recipe: The Nor'easter Cocktail
The 10-Minute Happy Hour
For many of us around the country, it's been a very trying winter. A friend of mine today said, "I'm beyond the winter blues at this point. I'm fully in the black." For her and any others out there needing a little pick-me-up, here's a sure-fire cure for the winter blues that will have you happy in no time.
15 Extra-Simple Cocktails for Your Snowed-In Weekend
Cocktail Recipes from The Kitchn
A winter storm has enveloped the East Coast, and you are probably planning an entire weekend of snow days, avoiding the wintry mix of unplowed roads and slushy sidewalks. Our strategy: stay in, stay warm, and mix up a cocktail instead of hitting the bar. But of course, if we're all staying indoors we can't be running out for some esoteric cocktail ingredient.
No matter what kind of liquor you have in your cupboards — gin, rye, bourbon, or another staple — we think we have a drink that can liven up your weekend at home. Here are 15 extra-simple cocktails, ingredients listed so you can see at a glance which one suits your snowed in liquor cabinet the best.
My Winter Morning Coffee Ritual: Preheat the Mug to Keep Coffee Hot
Tips from The Kitchn
Recipe: Brown Butter Apple Loaf
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
Somewhere deep in my imagination, visions of a dreamy spiced apple cake have long swirled in my head. This yet-to-be loaf would be perfectly at home on a crisp Sunday morning, enjoyed with a hot cup of tea and a good book in hand. And yet it would be made for giving, the ultimate thank you for a kind gesture shown by a dear friend. It would be a recipe worth saving, and a recipe worth sharing. And after much testing and tasting, I can confirm: yes, this loaf is all that and more.
My Easy Snow Day Project with Kids: Painted Cookies
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
If you follow the weather, you may have heard that we here in South Carolina have experienced some very cold precipitation, some of it resembling snow, and it has thrown us a little off track (okay, a lot). Our kids have been at home, and we need projects, easy projects that don't require trips to the grocery store, because they are out of everything. I remembered an oldie but a goodie: painting cookies.
4 Childhood Favorites From a Box: And How To Make Them from Scratch
When I was a child, it seemed like a lot of our food came from packets, boxes and cans. My parents were health conscious for the era, and we usually had the healthier versions, but it didn't dawn on me until adulthood that chicken pot pie didn't always come in individual aluminum pans from the freezer. A chicken pot pie can be time consuming, but certain things, like hot chocolate, are easy!
Here are four of my favorite childhood foods that just happened to come out of a box, and how to make them from scratch now that we're all grown-ups.
Recipe: Easy Turkey Chili with Kale
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
This turkey chili is one of my favorite recipes, and not just because I've made it a hundred times (at least). It was one of the first things I created on my own, starting with a version I made in my first minuscule apartment in New York City ten years ago. It has evolved over the years, but this is the recipe I've stuck with for quite some time — I just wanted to wait for the perfect winter day to share it.
6 Things Keeping Us Cozy This Week
What's Making Us Happy This Week
On Sunday Phil, the nation's most famous groundhog, came out of his burrow, saw his shadow, and suddenly we were in for six more weeks of winter. But we're not too torn up about it — not when there are clementines and grapefruit cordial to enjoy! Here are a few things making us happy (and cozy!) this week:
I'm Dreaming of Summer in February
Kitchen Diary: Kate in New York City
In New York, we're a grass-is-always-greener type people. When it's hot and sweaty on the train in the summer, people fantasize about cozy, snowy days. When it's actually winter, people walk around in 85 layers of polar vortex-proof clothing while they dream of warm days in the park. In fashion even, they're always showing spring collections in the fall. Seasonally, we're always looking to what's next, and unfortunately I'm no exception. Yup, I've fallen prey to it. I'm officially over this winter thing, including cooking.
Recipe: Sunchoke and Garlic Soup
Recipes from The Kitchn
It's hard to write about sunchokes without mentioning two things: the name is confusing, and they can cause embarrassing gas. So let's get those two topics out of the way. First of all, sunchokes are also known as Jerusalem artichokes. They are neither from Jerusalem (they are native to the Northeastern United States), nor are they artichokes. They are actually tubers of a sunflower-like plant. "Sunflower" is girasole in Italian (look toward the sun) and, well, girasole sounds a bit like Jerusalem. Try it out loud.

Conditions continue to deteriorate even with some late day buying. You're seeing some strange behavior now with indicators--a sharply rising VIX while others remain in neutral or even ascend. The news flow remains highly negative and fund managers have reinvestment money to put to work; hence some buying off the lows on Tuesday.
There is little more to make of things. The president's jobs speech on Thursday will be political but a non-market event. Many are waiting what Bernanke & Co will do on the 21 st which may provide a lift or not. It's hard to go to the well too often since QE2 was a failed moon shot in the final analysis.
Wednesday will feature the Beige Book released at 2 PM. Remember back in February Bernanke stated with certainty the economy was building steam for a "durable" recovery. They count on us to have short-memories.

Playoff Hopes Still Alive!
Justin Sobieralski-WPAathletics.com
PITTSBURGH-With their backs against the wall and desperately needing a win keep their playoff hopes alive, the Pittsburgh Steelers escaped with a 23-20 win, their second victory in consecutives weeks after losing five straight, over the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field Sunday, improving their record to 8-7.
The game was a tale of two halves as the Steelers were in control with a 20-10 lead at the end of the first half, only to see their 10 point lead evaporate to start the third quarter. Despite out playing the Steelers in the second half, penalties, turnovers, and miscues came back to haunt the Ravens in the second half when it counted the most.
After Pittsburghs first drive lasted eight plays but were forced to punt, the Ravens took over at their 13 yard line. On third and nine, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco dropped back to pass but was hurried by linebacker Lamar Woodley, resulting in a tipped pass that was intercepted by fellow linebacker James Farrior. The Steelers got the ball back at the Baltimore eight yard line, however, they were unable to convert the excellent field position and were forced to settle for a 26 yard field goal by Jeff Reed to take the lead 3-0.
Baltimore came back on the following drive moving the ball 64 yards to the Steelers nine yard line, only to tie the game at 3-3.
Pittsburgh would re-take the lead, 6-3, off another Reed field goal on the following drive.
Several possessions later, Rashard Mendenhall scored a four yard touchdown early in the second quarter to extend Pittsburghs lead to 13-3...

The Good: I am suprised by Nick Spencer,he has an excellent grasp on all the characters and each have a good scene.The banter between Eric and Jim was extremely good and I am happy they are the comedie duo of this series.Valkyrie still proves she is a badass by killing a bunch of A.I.M agents,Natasha seducing an A.I.M contractor but not falling into the cliché,Moon Knight taking out some more A.I.M agents and Steve beating the crap out of the U.S.Agent faker and giving a really good speech about why he's doing the things he does.The "Wikileaks" angle to this story is very well handled and the first time I read I had no idea it was about it.Also Mr.Negativeis in this issue getting some gauntlets from some inventor and in my favorite line of the issue he says he stole the plans from some kid in L.A.And if you don't know who that kid is it's Chase Stein from the Runaways,my team.Oh and Mr.Negative will hopefully go against the team on Nick Spencer's stint on SA.And I loved Eaton art's just fits so well with the story and the mood.Also it's cool seeing the SECRET AVENGERS some spy stuff.
The Bad: Beast and Sharon don't do much in the issue.
The Verdict: This is a pretty good .1 issue that establishes what the team is about,shows the personality of each character except for Beast and Sharon,sets up some possible conflict with Mr.Negative that is complimented with really good art.If you want to read Secret Avengers get this issue.

Quit Your Day Job is a series that ran on Stereogum from 2007 to 2013, and in that space, we talked to dozens of indie artists — from Girl Talk to the National to Deerhunter to the Hold Steady — about the work they did when not making music, the things they did to make, y'know, money. Today, we're bringing back QYDJ … in video form!
Brooklyn-via-San Francisco indie-dance trio Lemonade have been around since 2005, during which time they've released a pair of LPs — their 2008 self-titled album and 2012′s Diver — as well as the 2010 Pure Moods EP. They're about to release their third full-length, Minus Tide, from which we've already heard three lovely singles, "Stepping," "Orchid Bloom," and "Come Down Softly." Along with making music, the members of Lemonade — Callan Clendenin, Ben Steidel, Alex Pasternak — have day jobs in their neighborhood in Brooklyn: Ben works at Co-Op 87 Records, Callan works at the vintage-clothing store Beacon's Closet, and Alex is a DJ. We spent a day in Greenpoint with the men of Lemonade, talking to them about their music, their home, and the things they do to make ends meet.

In the child's game, Trust Me, one person stands behind the other. The one in front falls backward, trusting the other to catch them before crashing to the floor. Trust Me contains an element of danger, the risk of not getting caught and getting hurt. The person falling places great trust in the person catching. When the falling player trusts the catcher enough to let go completely, and the catch happens as planned, both players experience a moment of exhilaration that's difficult to duplicate any other way.
It's About Trust
BDSM is similar. The myth is that it's abusive and weird—whips and chains! Actually it's about trust. When trust trumps the possibility of harm, the result can feel incredibly intimate and erotic.
There are several terms for BDSM: power-play or domination-submission (D/s) because one lover has control over the other, at least nominally; sado-masochism (SM), which involves spanking, flogging or other types of intense sensation; and bondage and discipline (BD), which involves restraint. But the current term is BDSM.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings
A Product of Technology Publishing / PaintSquare
JPCL | PaintSquare News
| Durability + Design
| Paint BidTracker
Main News Page
Monday, January 28, 2013
Coating makers have joined the opposition to a U.S. rule that would expand disclosure of the use of so-called "conflict minerals" in various products.
The American Coatings Association (ACA) is working with other affected industry associations on a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief in support of a lawsuit that asks the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to set aside its Conflict Minerals Rule, adopted last August. The brief is due Wednesday (Jan. 23).
"Conflict minerals" include tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold derived from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.
The brief is aimed at bolstering a federal lawsuit filed in August 2012 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers. the suit seeks a review of the rules, which are required under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law.
Conflict Minerals
The rule requires that publicly traded companies disclose certain conflict minerals or derivatives used in their production processes. "Conflict minerals" include tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold derived from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.
Tin is used during the chemical processes for manufacturing PVC and certain high performance paints/coatings.
The rule requires companies that manufacture products that use these minerals to report whether its products were produced from sources that benefit armed groups.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development published its guidance on conflict minerals for members in 2011.
Companies are required to provide an annual report that includes:
'Woefully Inadequate'
The industry coalition filed their opening brief on the merits of the case on Jan. 16, saying that the rule "may have been motivated by good intentions" but the SEC's analysis is "woefully inadequate."
The groups contend that the SEC failed to meet its statutory obligation to consider the effects of the rule by failing to determine if the rule would benefit the DRC, and by underestimating the rule's costs.
"Further, and of particular importance to ACA member companies, by refusing to create a de minimis exception, the SEC expanded the scope of the rule adding significant burdens and costs to U.S. industry without demonstrating any benefit for the DRC or the Congolese people," ACA reports.
The industry coalition also challenged provisions of the rule requiring companies to undertake what it termed "an onerous 'reasonable country of origin inquiry,' expanding the rule's scope to non-manufacturers, and providing for an irrational transition period."
The coalition also asserts that the rule violates the companies' First Amendment rights by requiring them to report on their website and to the SEC if any of their products are "not DRC conflict free." The industry coalition said requiring this disclosure is "as unfounded as it is politically charged."

I made some mistakes in my post. My TV has three HDMI inputs which is one more than I need. (Satellite and Blue-Ray). The receiver doesn't need to process video, it needs to process audio. With any Surround AVR, there are ample digital audio inputs. So even though S-Video inputs on the AVR are not HD, I won't be using any video inputs at all since my sources will go direct to the TV. The audio contained in the HDMI cable is the same digital audio signal as from the Digital Audio Out signal from the same device. So if I connect the HDMI from the Blue-Ray (for instance) to the TV, I'll watch HD video and listen to it's digital audio through the TV speakers. If I want surround, I'll also hook the Digital Audio Out of the Blue Ray to the DVD Digital Audio Input of the AVR to listen to the digital audio of the source while watching it's HD video.
Now, with that explanation out of the way, who feels like I am still making a mistake by not requiring HDMI on the AVR? That is not sarcastic, it's an honest question. Also, is the upgrade to 7.1 from 5.1 a big enough deal to worry about? Does it make enough of a difference that I should make sure I get it now? That Onkyo link above has me thinking, but a non-hdmi, 5.1 receiver opens up all kinds of inexpensive possibilities.
Thanks to all for your input. Input--ha.
By the way, I ran across one of these on my local Craigslist. It seems to be able to handle what I need, but take a look at the rear panel and make sure I'm not nuts. One note, I am getting Dish Satellite installed this coming week, and the pictures on the rear panel of the Hopper shows an Optical Audio Output. My Blue Ray has both Optical and Digital Audio Outs, and this Yamaha has two Digital Audio Ins and 3 Optical Audio Ins, so it should work for all my needs. But am I missing something? Thanks again.
your plan will work... right up until you run out of inputs to the TV, or you buy a new device that either has analog or HDMI outputs, which was what forced me into the new receiver
Thanks, Partdeaux. I know what you mean, and I get your muted tone of caution. Since I'm not exactly on the leading edge of technology, I'm ok with those parameters for now. By the time those limits are exceeded, there will, I'm sure, be even more to consider upgrading and more technologies to learn about and plan for.
"Good people drink good beer."

Btw, if your "amp" doesn't have vacuum tubes, its a toy. marantz!
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship?
Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?

John of Redding, CA - August, 21 2012:
I found this product very difficult to learn to use. The screen is very small. I tried using it and decided to return it and shop for a different unit. Even the available tutorials were difficult for me to understand. The directions that come with the unit are lacking. I had difficulty learning to save, delete and transfer files to my computer. I never could find the map it shows on the display. I like technical gadgets, but, the manufacturer needs to be able to teach the user how to use it. I hope Garmin reads this review.

Trilliant Launches Newly-Enhanced SecureMesh® WAN To Help Utilities Achieve Better Reliability and Operational Efficiency
Smart Distribution solutions enable utilities to strategically address today's operational challenges while preparing for tomorrow's smart grid opportunities
on Monday, January 28th, 2013
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - January 28, 2013 - Trilliant, a global smart grid communications leader, delivering solutions that enhance energy efficiency, utility operations and renewable resource integration, today unveiled the newly-enhanced SecureMesh WAN 1100 Series in advance of DistribuTECH, North America's largest annual smart grid conference and exhibition.
The SecureMesh WAN is part of the Trilliant Communications Platform, a powerful combination of networking technologies pre-engineered to work seamlessly together, and purpose-built for smart grid. The SecureMesh WAN is a broadband mesh network built specifically for utilities to provide the reliability, bandwidth and low latency necessary for advanced Smart Distribution applications such as Volt/VAR control, fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR), and other real-time smart distribution applications.
Even though our current electric grid is about 99.97 percent reliable, according to the Department of Energy, power disruptions are a major challenge for the U.S. industry. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates annual outages cost the nation about $150 billion each year, which is more than $500 for each person in the country.
"Utilities are being asked to do more with aging infrastructure," said Rob Conant, Trilliant's chief marketing officer. "Trilliant's deep heritage serving the utility industry enables us to provide solutions that address these needs, combining advanced grid technologies and best-in-class communication networks. Trilliant's SecureMesh WAN helps utilities future-proof their grid communications system so they are able to effectively manage distribution needs today and prepare for other smart grid applications tomorrow."
The newly-enhanced SecureMesh WAN 1100 Series uniquely addresses utility communications needs:
Utility-Grade Reliability and Redundancy
- Trilliant's SecureMesh WAN is built on the company's award-winning mesh technology, which is inherently redundant and reliable. The system features integrated dynamic routing and near-immediate failover to ensure uninterrupted communications.
- Trilliant's UnitySuite™ Network Element Management System (NEMS), which provides a single platform for managing both AMI and WAN deployments, simplifies smart grid communications for utilities and enables economic, reliable and real-time network management.
Industry-Leading Latency and Bandwidth
- Extending the company's lead in speed, Trilliant has further reduced the latency of SecureMesh WAN in the 1100 Series, cutting its already impressive time per hop down to less than 7 milliseconds, and thereby supporting the most demanding distribution automation applications.
- With 20 MB per second throughput, the newly-enhanced 1100 Series supports orders of magnitude more capacity than mesh networks traditionally used for AMI.
- New application domain partitioning functionality allows utilities to segment applications from each other to uniquely satisfy each application's specific Quality of Service (QoS) needs.
Integrated, End-to-End Security
- End-to-end safeguards across multiple layers of the OSI stack ensure that the SecureMesh WAN network remains private and secure.
- The SecureMesh WAN is compliant with the latest industry security standards, including NERC/CIP and is consistent with the requirements of NISTIR 7628, NIST SP 800-53 and FIPS 140-2.
- SecureMesh WAN supports virtual private network (VPN) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) capabilities to enable safe and controlled access of the network.
- Application domain partitioning available on the SecureMesh WAN includes standards-based 802.1q VLAN tagging of network traffic, which ensures that access to or a breach of one application does not affect other applications or devices.
- SecureMesh WAN supports node-by-node two-way authentication using a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with x509-like signed certificates and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128) encryption.
Low Cost Territory Coverage
- The SecureMesh WAN 1100 Series now supports up to 12 mesh hops, allowing utilities to cover up to 10,000 square miles of territory with a single network takeout point. This reduces the cost to cover large service territories for all utilities.
- The SecureMesh WAN network automatically circumvents barriers, routing around large buildings, mountains, RF interference and other obstacles, ensuring both low-cost deployment and long-term reliability.
- The Trilliant SecureMesh WAN now supports secure remote management of the entire WAN network, including SSH telnet capability to remote devices.
Expanded Interoperability
- SecureMesh WAN is built on an open, interoperable IP platform, supporting both legacy IPv4 and future IPv6 protocols.
- SecureMesh WAN is compatible with a wide variety of legacy devices and can seamlessly work with a wide range of existing distribution assets.
- SecureMesh WAN has proven interoperability with devices made by the leading distribution equipment vendors.
- SecureMesh WAN supports key utility industry standards, including DNP3 and IEC 61850.
- SecureMesh WAN and the broader Trilliant Communications Platform can also flexibly adapt to meet future standards as they evolve.
Part of the Trilliant Communications Platform, the SecureMesh WAN is a smart investment for utilities that must make prudent decisions today while keeping an eye on future smart grid opportunities. The Trilliant Communications Platform, including the SecureMesh WAN, will allow utilities to eventually manage all smart grid applications - Smart Distribution, Smart Metering and Smart Consumer - on a single, unified network.
