Little Patches of Green
For sale signs are increasing across small town America. As nearby cities grow larger, developers begin looking for plots of land to build housing and commercial enterprises. Suburban areas continue to spawn, with rural areas being eyed up for the future. People who move to areas with less conveniences end up being divided into two categories. Those who want more, and those who wish things would stay the same. Who is right? No one, but it is a reality that land is a finite entity, and once it is built upon, nothing is ever the same.
I live in a small New England town. Over the years we have seen our share of growth. Housing continues to go up, even though our school age population is decreasing. A small nearby airport is increasing in capacity eliminating an entire neighborhood due to an expanded zone. A movie theatre proposal is in review, and more office space is being approved. There is talk of building a YMCA at a time when many Y's across the country are struggling financially, leaving some with no choice but to close.
Some residents in the area favor growth and view it as a good thing. They profess it will help the tax base, and provided more opportunity for residents especially the elderly and the youth. I am sure people who crave these amenities will take advantage of their offerings. There is belief that critical social issues can be addressed by cement and mortar. My concern is that slowly but surely, we are witnessing the gentrification of America. Cities become larger, suburbs continue to grow, and one is left to wonder what will happen when the space runs out. How much time do rural areas have left? Where does it all end?
As you drive along, take time to notice the little patches of land available for development. Gas stations, retail, office space, and housing are eating up the available landscape. One project here and there does not create an impact for many observers, but over time the small city or town is overrun by too many approvals. I'm not against growth, but all not all growth is beneficial. I have yet to live in a town where taxes went down because of development. In fact, some of these people "helping" the community often receive tax breaks, while residents are left picking up the tab.
I moved to a smaller community by choice. I don't understand why those who do so suddenly decide they want more at their doorstep. Didn't they consider what the area had available in terms of convenience when they looked for real estate? Some state they will move out if more isn't available. Somehow that is considered a threat to the entire population of the town. They however, do not speak for myself and many others. The benefits of space and a slower pace are quietly slipping away. I want to see little patches of green, and I want to see it where I live.
The Housework Aerobic Workout
Thirty years ago, Jane Fonda came out with her first workout video. It became a sensation. Every woman over 30 wanted to look like Jane. Aerobic exercise was all the rage, and people started flocking to gyms to get themselves fit and trim. My mother watched all this with great interest. Having 5 kids, she did more than her share of housework. Her statement at the time was…."I don't have to do aerobics. I run up and down those stairs a million times a day!" Now that I am in her position, I know exactly what she means.
I have it easy compared to my mother. I only have 2 children, and appliances have gotten more advanced in terms of cleaning. That doesn't mean I enjoy it, but there is less scrubbing and rinsing than I remember when I was young. Still, there is a certain amount of energy and movement that is required for doing these chores. Lifting, bending, pushing, and stretching are what this body of mine experiences every day.
I have tried many forms of exercise. My past workouts consisted mostly of swimming and walking, but I also have lifted weights, used machines, and have done some yoga. I was in the best shape of my life when my girls were babies and toddlers. Your arms and abs get fully toned from lifting baby carriers, and taking kids in and out of car seats, shopping carriages, cribs, etc. You are constantly running after them when they learn to walk. Now that they are older, the lifting has stopped (not the running), but the work goes on. Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, cooking, food shopping, being a taxi never ends, and never goes on vacation.
I once had a doctor ask me what I did for exercise. At the time, I was walking the dog 2 miles a day, and taking yoga classes. HE didn't seem satisfied with my answer and kept pressing for more. I finally said…"I never sit." That ended of the conversation. I still walk the dog, try to fit in yoga, and yes, I still do housework. This being a long winter, the snow blower became my best friend, and I used the shovel so much that my arms didn't hurt after the third storm.
I often see groups of women running up and down Main Street where I live. They have on the all the gear, headbands, running shoes, and seem to do it every day. They are in perfect shape and look good even when exercising. But to all the moms out there, who feel they should do more to stay fit, don't worry about it. You are all beautiful. Years later, Jane admitted to surgery. Take out that vacuum, run up and down those stairs, and know you are great the way you are.
The World's First Popular Nerd
My twelve-year-old daughter Tessa recently had an interesting conversation with a classmate who happens to be male.
Classmate: You know Tessa; you're like the world's first popular nerd.
Tessa: What do you mean by that?
Classmate: Well…it's kind of like you're a geek…no offense….
Tessa: I'm not offended by that.
Classmate:…but everybody likes you!
We laughed when she told me the story, but later I realized how insightful this dialogue was for both parties.
The idea that someone could like school and work hard, provokes images of the stereotypical bookworm holed up in a corner. He or she is the loner with no friends and no interests other than academics. A person wearing thick glasses with frames out of the 1950s, and who talks in a nasal sounding voice. Perpetuating these images, especially in the media, reinforces the idea that kids can't enjoy learning, strive towards excellence, or take on challenges and still be a normal kid. The young man quoted above saw that none of those concepts applied to my daughter, and it made him think about the image and personality of a "geek."
Before my daughter started middle school, I explained that kids will start changing and not everyone will want to be her friend. Groups begin to form, stereotypes develop, and minor forms of bullying might occur. She has handled the transition extremely well. She does not let words define who she is, and is comfortable in her own skin. She explained she is actually proud to be a geek, but she also loves to dance, sing, watch movies, and play outdoors. She isn't "popular" in the way most of us remember from our school days, but rather because she is helpful, kind, and always has a smile on her face. She is happy for the success of others, and does not possess feelings of envy. She sees the good in everything.
We hear so many stories about children who are depressed, lonely, and don't feel good about themselves. Maybe it is time to stop portraying people in singular categories and understand that as humans we are multifaceted. We all have good qualities and different personalities. Instead of focusing just on bullying, we need to teach acceptance and kindness. We need to make kids realize that everyone is different and unique. It takes more than one word to be defined. The world needs more "firsts" of their kind.
Talk to the Elderly
Recently, my husband and I took our daughters to the movies. Afterwards, we went for pizza at a very well-known establishment. We were seated after waiting 30 minutes in the lobby. Once we were settled and gave our order, I noticed an elderly couple sitting diagonal from us. It seemed every time I looked up, they were staring at us and neither was speaking. A small wall divided our tables so I couldn't see the rest of their party. Eventually, a man I assumed was their son stood up, followed by three boys around the ages of 10 to 12. Two teenage girls also appeared. I then knew why the elderly couple wasn't talking.
Each of the boys was holding their own tablet, and both girls had earphones attached to either a phone of other device. They were probably so involved in their own virtual world, that none of them took the time to talk to the people sitting directly in front of them. I felt sorry for this couple. They are of a generation where being "social" means going out, having fun, and making memories. The word "media" is not part of the scenario.
I was lucky enough to have known my grandparents and other relatives for a good part of my life. What I remember most are the conversations. They were filled stories that only come with a lifetime of experience. They provided lessons in history as seen from the eyes of people who had lived it. There are conversations fondly remembered because of humor and laughter. None of it recorded except in the recesses of my mind. The place, the time, and the experience lived again as if it were yesterday.
My opinion concerning electronics has been stated before in other posts. I am not against them, and understand they serve a need. But why has it become a substitute for interaction? Why does it have to go everywhere and be present at every moment? Some day in the future, these kids will not have the opportunity to talk to their grandparents. What will they remember?
Stereotyping Our Boys
During the holiday season, I had the opportunity to buy a shirt for an 8-year-old boy. Having two daughters, this was a new experience for me. Walk into any store selling clothes for girls, and you are instantly bombarded with bright colors, glitter, and sequins. Many skirts are trimmed in tulle and almost all shirts have some grand graphic design. Trying to find clothes that are more understated is a bit of a challenge. So, when I walked into a couple of well-known stores catering to kids, I was surprised and ultimately a bit sadden when I saw what boys have to choose from.
Let's start with color. Yes it is winter here in the Northeast, but all I saw was brown, dark blue, black, gray, and dark green. The only other colors were burnt orange and mustard green. I admit, the neon colors of girl's clothes can be a bit overwhelming, but to be so drab was depressing. Then I looked at the graphics on the shirts. The only choices were either sports or pictures of heavy machinery. Since this was going to be a donation, and I didn't know the youngster, I was at a loss as to what would be appropriate. I finally settled on the one shirt I found that had stripes.
It got me thinking about the messages we send kids. Do all little boys have to be involved or like sports? It is great if they have the talent and ambition to play, but what if they don't? Do all have to like tractors, large truck, and backhoes? Is there something wrong with them if they prefer other toys? If you don't think this is has an effect, think again.
My daughter is in the chorus at school. They are having a hard time getting boys to join. Oh they are in the band, and a few are in the orchestra, but for some reason, chorus isn't cool. With all the discussion we have surrounding our girls…have we left our boys behind? Does he have to worry that his peers will think lesser of him because he isn't cut out for sports? Can he like science and math without being called a geek? What if he is more interested in art and music? How long does it take before he realizes his potential? High school? Longer? It has to start younger.
Parents have to take the lead from their kids. I have witnessed too many forcing their children to participate in activities that they are clearly not enjoying. I have heard grown men yell at young boys to toughen up, shake it off, run faster, work harder. I'm talking about little kids here, not high school or college athletes. There is a fine line between encouraging children to do better, and belittling them when they don't live up to expectations which are usually set too high. If kids find something they can throw their heart and soul into, they will usually succeed without pressure from their parents. They will never know what they are good at if not given the freedom to choose.
I hope the little boy is wearing that striped shirt knows he doesn't have to identify himself by a graphic. He can grow up to be anything he wants and not have to wonder what others think. He can join the chorus if he likes to sing. He doesn't have to play sports if he doesn't want to. He can do well academically without being called a nerd. He should have the freedom to choose. Just like our girls.
Math, Science, and Girls
In 1947, a 17 year old young woman graduated from high school in Upstate, NY. Having an A+ average, she was accepted into New York University. The following fall, she traveled down to the city to begin her studies in biology. Two months after receiving her degree, she accepted a job working in the cancer research labs at Sloan-Kettering. In time, she was in charge of an entire lab. Who is she? She is my mother.
I am perplexed by stories about young women not choosing careers studies in math and science. So much is discussed and written in terms of the society preventing females from following this path. While I don't disagree that there may still be some obstacles out there, I do believe that the family has the biggest impact on the choices of our girls. My mother's family didn't totally understand why she chose to study biology. They thought nursing was a more viable option. Yet, they did not prevent her from choosing her major. The same followed for me and my siblings. Whatever choices we made regarding school or career was ours to make.
The fact that I had a parent who was allowed to make such a decision played a huge factor in knowing that I had the freedom to go into science. My younger sister also made the same choice and became a successful engineer. The achievement in math and science in my family was considered a good thing, and not something to disregard because we were girls. I remember at the time some of my peers not having the same encouragement. Their families felt that it was wiser for their daughters to work in a more traditional female job. That is perfectly acceptable if it is the choice of the young woman, but if she has the talent and the interest to pursue areas pertaining to math and science, the opportunities are abundant.
Society is not telling our girls they are not good at math and science. That is a myth that has been handed down through the years. Lest we forget the thousands of women who went to work during World War II working on projects that required a great deal of technical aptitude. There have been many women who have made discoveries besides Madam Curie not present in our history books. There are numerous female doctors, engineers, researchers, and professors who are presently working in a multitude of capacities. There are a considerable number of female high school science teachers who present a role model to our children every day. No one in "society" is telling our girls not to pursue their dreams.
In 1947, a brilliant young woman walked her own path. There were many others just like her who paved the road way before the issue of female equality was explored. If they were able to do it during their lifetime, there is no reason why women today can't as well. It takes determination, hard work, encouragement, and a desire to live out a chance of fulfillment. Let us stop telling stories about women not doing something because of society, and start telling about women who do because they can.

Marcus Paige has told teammates both current and future that he plans to return to North Carolina next season rather than entering the NBA draft.
One day after the Tar Heels were eliminated from the NCAA tournament in a heart-breaking last-second loss to Iowa State, the sophomore point guard took to Twitter to let the world know
of his decision
"Time to move on and focus on improving this offseason. Next year has a chance to be special," Paige wrote.
He then replied to a Tweet from incoming freshman Theo Pinson that he "never even thought of leaving."
Paige's return in good news for the Tar Heels, who overcame a 1-4 ACC start by winning 12 straight games in January and February. The first-team all-league selection led the team in both scoring (17.5) and assists (4.2) and has emerged as a leader both on and off the court.
Paige is also an Academic All-America.
His decision to stay in school, combined with the return of at least three other starters and the addition of a nationally ranked recruiting class should make UNC one of the teams to beat in the ACC next season – regardless of what junior forward James Michael McAdoo decides to do regarding the NBA draft.

Chapel Hill pays more than the D-league…….
PortCity, you are a clown. Paige is a class act, and all A student, what's good about college basketball and you want to make a ridiculous comment like that. Sorry Warren is leaving and State will continue to live in the cellar of the ACC.

I would have thought that you will need 2 new VLANs so that the default VLAN can be replaced. You then need to move the ports into the relevant VLAN, with the ports that connect the switches residing in both VLANs.
You don't mention the type of switches. If they are HP, all the ports used for PCs, etc. should be untagged and the ports connecting the switches together should be tagged.
Any unmanaged switches must be attached to an untagged port (one that is in a single VLAN only) on a managed switch. All the ports on the unmanaged switch then become part of that VLAN.

Judge tweaks downtown ballot summary after lawsuit
An Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday that several of the words used by the Berkeley City Council in the ballot summary for a proposed downtown initiative to go before voters in November were biased and inaccurate, and has amended its description slightly.
In his 12-page order, Judge Evelio Grillo said he found three words in the 71-word ballot summary describing Measure R to be inaccurate and two words to be "implicit advocacy."
Read Berkeleyside's coverage of the downtown initiative.
The matter came before Grillo after Berkeley City Councilman Jesse Arreguín and several others filed a lawsuit in August arguing that the language used by the council in the summary was misleading and inaccurate.
Friday, attorneys for both sides made their cases before Grillo in his courtroom in downtown Oakland. … Continue reading »
New 8-story Berkeley building wins easy approval
Berkeley's zoning board unanimously approved a new 8-story building on University Avenue, at Milvia Street, on Thursday night.
StoneFire is set to take the place of the Firestone tire shop at 1974 University Ave..
No one spoke against the project in the relatively short hearing before the Zoning Adjustments Board on Thursday. It was the project's first official review by the board, after a preview session in April. The project also received unanimous support from the city's Design Review Committee after three sessions with that panel in 2013 and 2014.
Read more about development in Berkeley in past Berkeleyside coverage.
Developer William Schrader Jr., of Alamo-based The Austin Group, told the zoning board the project has been in the works for a couple of years, and that he has met extensively with the city, neighbors and stakeholders to make sure they're on board with his plans. … Continue reading »

New Berkeley Spats owners hope for fall opening
Walking into Shattuck Avenue Spats in downtown Berkeley, it's hard to believe it's been out of operation since 2009. Tables and chairs are still in place, there's liquor behind the bar. The quirky decor — complete with, among many other touches, taxidermy trophies and a Greco-Roman-styled mannequin woman — appears to be free of dust and ready to entertain once again.
It looks like all it might take is the flip of a switch to get the business running and, with a new team of owners having recently bought the building where Spats operated for decades, the bar may be poised to open again this fall.
Nathan George, a local developer who describes his approach as "Berkeley building Berkeley," is one partner of about a dozen people who bought 1974 Shattuck Ave. with the goal of reopening Spats under its old name.

A complex tripod of moving history is about to take place in South Berkeley.
In a unique and probably first-ever-in-Berkeley arrangement, two historical houses, one a city designated landmark, and the other a designated structure of merit, will be hoisted and trucked to a vacant lot a few blocks from their current locations, for a mini historical neighborhood cluster. … Continue reading »

Berkeley hotel plans halted pending initiative vote
A proposal for a downtown Berkeley mixed-use high-rise hotel, which had begun working its way through the city's approval process, is now on hold pending the outcome of November's vote on an initiative that would significantly change the city's zoning process and requirements.
A representative from the development team for the Berkeley Place project, where the Bank of America currently operates on Center Street, announced that decision before the Berkeley City Council in July and confirmed it in the middle of the month.
But the city official who represents downtown Berkeley, and who has been a main proponent behind the new initiative, has questioned the claims that the project has truly been halted. Councilman Jesse Arreguín said developers are using the specter of the initiative to scaremonger, and are using it to make a political point. … Continue reading »

5-story complex proposed on Grocery Outlet site
A mixed-use, five-story complex could be the latest in a sequence of developments to pop up near an industrial area of West Berkeley by the Fourth Street shopping district.
Architect David Trachtenberg, acting on behalf of the Read family, which owns the property 2001 Fourth St., has applied for a use permit for the 71,250-square-foot lot at the current site of discount market Grocery Outlet. If the Zoning Adjustments Board approves the project, the two-story building that houses Grocery Outlet will be demolished to make way for the new development. … Continue reading »
New paint on Berkeley Oaks Theatre: What does it mean?
We've heard from some curious readers asking about the new paint job underway in North Berkeley on the façade of the Oaks Theatre, as well as the building it is part of, so Berkeleyside checked in with property owner John Gordon to find out what was happening.
Gordon said the building is being repainted to spruce it up, which could make it more attractive to potential tenants.
The pink and green striping on display earlier this week was simply primer — paint left over from other projects — which will be covered over as the job continues. … Continue reading »
Development may come to Spenger's lot in Berkeley
After months of poking, prodding, sifting and examining soil, an archeological dig beneath the parking lot across from Spenger's restaurant on Fourth Street found no evidence it had ever been home to a Native American shellmound.
The findings that the site was not historically important means the owners will seek to develop it.
"Investigators found no historically significant remnants of the West Berkeley Shellmound within the parking lot grounds and have concluded to near certainty that none exist within the property," says a report on the findings by archeologist Allen Pastron and his team from Archeo-Tec Inc., an Oakland-based firm. The dig team included an Ohlone Indian observer, Andrew Galvan. … Continue reading »
5-story building approved, again, on University Avenue
A proposal to construct a five-story mixed-use building in central Berkeley was approved by the zoning board earlier this month after a request to increase the number of units from 25 to 36 while reducing the on-site parking.
The project, at 1698 University Ave. (at McGee Avenue), originally was approved by the city in 2005, and modified in 2008. Since then the property has changed hands. The new owner, San Francisco-based Realtex Apartments, asked the city Zoning Adjustments Board July 10 to increase the number of units and decrease the parking requirements from the earlier proposal.
The new project, designed by Syncopated Architecture — also of San Francisco — would take the place of a vacant automotive repair station. It is set to include approximately 2,000 square feet of commercial space and nearly 25,400 square feet of residential. … Continue reading »
New affordable housing project headed for Berkeley
A vacant lot in West Berkeley is slated to become an affordable housing complex aimed mostly at people with disabilities after a unanimous vote by the city zoning board last week.
Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA), a Berkeley-based non-profit housing developer, sought permission from the board July 10 to modify a use permit originally granted to a different property owner in 2007.
SAHA representative Jonathan Astmann told the Zoning Adjustments Board that the project at 2748 San Pablo Ave. (at Grayson Street) would provide 17 rentals for people with disabilities, including three for families with a member who has HIV/AIDS. The project had been approved previously as condominiums.
Read more local real estate and development coverage on Berkeleyside.
The four-story project would have 23 units, unchanged in number from the earlier permit, but requested a reduction in parking spaces — from 27 to 13 — to fit the needs of residents. Astmann said SAHA property residents tend to own fewer vehicles. … Continue reading »
Berkeley neighbors question parking, height of student-oriented housing planned on Telegraph
A proposed retail and housing project on Telegraph Avenue that's already proven controversial with neighbors got its first review last week from Berkeley's zoning board.
The man behind the proposal is Patrick Kennedy, head of Berkeley-based Panoramic Interests, who is working with Lowney Architecture on the plans. The project proposes the demolition of a single-story building between Dwight Way and Parker Street and the construction of a 70-foot-tall 6-story building to include 65 rental units aimed at students, and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Six of those units would be available to very-low-income households: those making no more than 50% of the area median income.
Thursday night's preview session was the Zoning Adjustments Board's first chance to provide feedback on the project. No action was scheduled or taken.
Kennedy described his project to the board as "a bold and optimistic gesture" on Telegraph, which he said is long overdue for improvements that are likely to come as higher density housing is built on the avenue. … Continue reading »

Construction to begin on 6-story development
Demolition has begun on the lot at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Dwight Way, bringing down the building that was home to furniture store Modernaire, which has moved to a new location. In its place will be a new, 6-story mixed-use housing development, construction of which is set to begin in September.
Menlo Management Company is behind the development at 2107 Dwight Way, which will feature 99 rental units, 5,607 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 45 parking spaces. A 2012 zoning board report says the housing units will be marketed primarily to students.
The project's architect is Richard Christiani of San Francisco-based firm Christiani Johnson Architects. Christiani says he expects to complete construction in March 2016, 18 months after the scheduled start date. He said demolition at the site will be complete soon. … Continue reading »
Is the tech boom putting pressure on Berkeley rents?
Artist Leigh Wells still hasn't gotten accustomed to the constant noise from the trains that run right behind her West Berkeley live-work space. And she tries not to think about the toxic emissions from the neighboring steel manufacturing plant. In fact, if it weren't for the affordable rent, and the close-knit artist community at the 1450 Fourth St. complex, she'd never dream of living there.
But when the rent in a unit in Wells' building went for $300 a month above asking price — and her own rent was given a $450 hike — she quickly realized that times are changing. … Continue reading »

please make a note of that. thanks.
73.52% of the above posts contain the word "flat"
Is this a test ? I was almost ready to bring it up to 74 per.
Even my penis is bigger than her tits.
(overheard at a party for Prince Charles)
I left you a post on the last thread. Hurry over for beer and excitement. I'm having a party. I'm not sure if it will be an outside deal or an INSIDE JOB?
Which link ? The one with the red stars ?
(And I hope it's …not Bud Lite… not that I'm that choosy…)
Hey Ted give Bink a few shots and let us know what he talks about when he is drunk.
If her ass was the ocean circa 1492, Columbus would have sailed right off of the flat motherfucker…
#158 – Don't worry – it's just the usual crap when happy hour strikes.
She is very cute but her snotty expression is kind of annoying. She seems deeply in love with herself. She's hot but not as hot as she thinks she is.
who is her?
Meh. Boring. I noticed her stupid tattoo is crooked, these ass clown celebs really need to hop off the tattoo train.
Britney looks way better in a bikini, because at least Britney has an ass and has boobs, unlike this chick. It wouldn't hurt her to be shaped slightly like a woman. And her face, average. How impressive. Superfish, your standards are soooo low.
You people obviously don't get laid much or you don't interact with women in real life if you are going to criticize this chick. She is hot anyway you look at it. I know none of you can get a hot blonde like that, but that doesn't mean you have to hate on her for being one.
#130 what a fucking racist moron. Hadn't you realized you're the scum of Earth? you know, the ultimate worthless. If you care about value so much, you must go kill yourself now because yours is zero. Oh I get it, the reason why you care so much about -money- value is because money is the only thing you could possibly have, as you have nothing else. You're worthless as an individual, no one would ever want you or value you for other than the money you wish you owned. Poor little thing. Oh yeah, and just because your dick isn't long enough to reach to a womanly shaped woman's ass and you have no clue what a nice ass is because lets face it, it's not like you've seen much women in your life, much less been granted the pleasure of looking at one who's actually hot and with a nice body and looks how a woman is supposed to look like doesn't mean the rest of people in the world are clueless losers like yourself. And BTW, I'm sorry your ancestors were hungry and poor and dirty and diseased and had to immigrate out of their homeland looking for a better life in America only to breed worthless scum like you, but mines were rich and classy, thus the reason why I live in my homeland, my beautiful homeland of Rome. It's a sign of the poor loser wannabes to flaunt about their money and how they think they're better because they (wish they had) money trying to get some validation and trying to be liked and accepted and treated better because they're worthless as human beings in all aspects and no one values them for anything. Tell me what you flaunt about and I'll tell you what you lack. muahahahaha. Now bitch, get to see a real woman! A hot woman! one with a nice body! and learn that they exist, and that women have curves and aren't shaped like sticks, and that actually many women with curves and ASSES don't necessarily need to have cellulite at all, but don't forget that every female has some cellulite, more or less, but no one is free of that, just like men bald, women have cellulite, which has nothing to do with starvation, it has to do with human genetics.
#165, I don't get your point, I think it's the opposite. You don't get to see much women, so anything, even if it's average and manly-shaped, looks impressive and hot to you. Get out more
It's not only that she has no ass and no boobs and that her face is average, her ass is actually inverted, and her tummy is fat and prominent. It should be the opposite way.
#166 – I'm not sure I understand, can you explain a bit more?
Just a very friendly advice: don't ever aspire to be a trial lawyer unless losing every case or making every jury fall asleep is your goal.
only a fucking faggot points out her cankles, which aren't really that bad. okay, she has cankles. she's a 9.9 instead of a 10.
seriously, stop being gay.
#171 – She's a 10… if the scale is 1 -1000. No you're right… she's a 9.9.
She's a beautiful woman . . .
. . . and #166 Loves The Cock . . .
She does have a flat droopy ass for someone so young. In response to one of the comments above every woman strives to have a round firm ass and flat asses are not attractive at all. If you have a firm round ass that doesn't mean your fat, it just means that you are lucky genetically and that you are most likely fit. I have to laugh hysterically when reading posts that infer that women are jealous or fat if they don't agree you. That is such an immature and infantile approach to attempting to argue your point. Anyhow, she has a supercute very feminine face but her body is very boring and lacking anything special.
WTF….. can't believe you… She's perfect.
Perfect ass, perfect body, perfect face, most perfect babe! C'mon.
Flat ass, no ass? who gives a fuck.. she is super hot.. and as long he doesn't have a fat ass,cellulite,, he is more than fine in fact he might be the hottest babe..
Similar to Montag -good upper body; not-so-good lower body.
You guys are all assholes. Everyone's giving Britney's fat ass support on her pictures in a bikini, but this chick is in very good shape. And she does have an ass and boobs. People, when you say flat, that means a flat surface you could set a plate on. This girl is cute.
Her ass is in perfect proportion to the way she's built. She has nice wide hips and her ass is great – it looks like a soft squeezable ass that any guy would love.

Six additional sites located across the Commonwealth will spur Brownfields cleanup and economic revitalization
Round I of the BST achieved measurable results at all five sites, including the commitment of more than $8 million in funding by participating agencies for assessment, cleanup, demolition and infrastructure improvements. Given the pilot's tremendous success, the Patrick-Murray Administration has selected six additional Brownfields sites for Round II, which will lead to job creation and increased tax revenues for cities and towns.
"As we continue to focus on job creation and economic recovery, the Brownfield Support Team is a leading model that brings together the right resources and tools to assist communities in their redevelopment initiatives," said Governor Deval Patrick. "The first round of this pilot program proved very successful and we look forward to working with more cities and towns in their efforts to turn blighted sites into opportunities for future job growth and economic development."
"Our Administration is committed to partnering with cities and towns across the state as we work together to support the Commonwealth's economic recovery," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, who leads the Brownfields Support Team. "Redevelopment of these selected sites will lead to the revitalization of housing and economic development in transit-oriented locations, spur business growth in key downtown areas, and boost local and regional economies."
The Lieutenant Governor made today's announcement at the former Uniroyal/Facemate site in Chicopee, one of the six newly selected projects. The other sites are the Mill Street Corridor in Gardner; the former Kiley Barrel site in Somerville; the Katrina Road site in Chelmsford; a downtown redevelopment project in Attleboro; and a new city-wide brownfields assistance pilot in Brockton.
The BST Round II brings together staff from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED), the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency (MassDevelopment), and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to help municipalities solve problems impeding the redevelopment of contaminated properties. Other state and federal agencies will also participate on these teams depending on the project needs. Additional agencies may include the Office of the Attorney General, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Brownfield Support Team Round II selected sites:
- Uniroyal/Facemate Properties, Chicopee: The City of Chicopee has targeted the former Uniroyal and Facemate properties for redevelopment along the Chicopee River. For years these sites have posed public safety hazards, and redevelopment was complicated by contamination, including polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) oil, petroleum and asbestos. Redevelopment possibilities include a river walk that will connect the site to the downtown commercial district.
- Mill Street Corridor Redevelopment, Gardner: The City of Gardner has prioritized the redevelopment of South Gardner, the former manufacturing employment center of the city. The city needs assistance with technical, legal and funding issues related to the municipally-owned former Garbose Metal Company property. Soil, groundwater, sediment and surface water at this property are contaminated with petroleum, metals and PCBs.
- Katrina Road , Chelmsford : The Town of Chelmsford has prioritized the cleanup and redevelopment of the former Silicon Transistor Corporation property. The town seeks to eliminate public safety concerns posed by its current, dilapidated condition, and promote economic development through its re-use. This municipally-owned property was formerly used for manufacturing, which resulted in chlorinated volatile organic compound contamination to soil and groundwater.
- Downtown Redevelopment Project, Attleboro: The City of Attleboro is redeveloping its downtown commercial district into a revitalized transit-oriented "urban village." Redevelopment will include a residential component as well as a regional center for business, financial and educational uses. The City needs assistance addressing environmental issues at key downtown locations.
- Kiley Barrel/Union Square, Somerville: The City of Somerville plans to revitalize the historic Union Square neighborhood for mixed-use Transit Oriented Development (TOD) adjacent to a proposed Green Line Station. The City needs assistance resolving environmental issues related to the municipally-owned Kiley Barrel site located within Union Square. It is anticipated that the Kiley Barrel site will be assembled with an adjacent parcel and marketed together for reuse.
- Brownfields Assistance Pilot, Brockton: The Brownfields Support Team will work closely with the City of Brockton to identify brownfields and economic development opportunities and challenges. The team will aim to develop an inventory of sites in need of state and federal assistance that demonstrates significant economic development potential.
"This unique type of redevelopment is beneficial not just to local communities but to the Commonwealth as a whole," said Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Greg Bialecki. "The collaboration between agencies in moving the Brownfields initiative forward will provide a clear and coordinated path to long term economic development for municipalities throughout Massachusetts."
"Initiatives that promote sustainable economic development and enhance the quality of life are a priority of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor," said Massachusetts Department of Transportation Secretary and CEO Jeffrey Mullan. "We look forward to continued active participation in the Brownfields initiative and using our transportation network and services to assist in the redevelopment of these sites."
"For more than 20 years, Massachusetts has witnessed how brownfields can provide a solid return on investment by transforming formerly contaminated, dormant, and abandoned sites into redevelopment success stories," said MassDEP Commissioner Laurie Burt. "We look forward to working with our state and federal partners to achieve several more victories at these recently selected locations."
"This structured approach to redevelopment streamlining programs and services created a decade ago fits well with the mission of MassDevelopment to eradicate blight and promote economic development throughout the Commonwealth," said MassDevelopment President and CEO Robert L. Culver. "We enjoy strong working relationships with our partners on the Brownfields Support Team and look forward to bringing more of these promising sites to their highest and best uses."
The Brownfields Support Team (BST) will work with communities to identify site and project specific issues that hinder redevelopment of key properties. Assistance provided by the BST may include expedited site inspections, reviews, and approvals by MassDEP; technical assistance on expedited permitting from EOHED; funding for assessment and cleanup from MassDevelopment; financial and technical assistance from MassDOT; and coordination with the Attorney General's Office on liability issues.

The reception area smelt of smoke, but the room was clean and nice. Location of the hostel is perfect. Good that street noise doesn't come up too much to the 8h floor! The elevator operates a little weird, guests cannot operate it, only the receptionist. You can take a good night's rest here close to the city center.

This hostel is in a great location- walking distance to many bars, restaurants, and the sea! If you are looking for a hostel to meet people, this should not be your first choice. However, this place is ideal if you are looking for someplace to crash before a flight next day or simply want to have a cozy night in. It is very quiet and clean.

One may have a Marx-on-Capital, Ollivander-on-Voldemort appreciation of the achievements and greatness of popular culture without this in any way having to constitute a 'guilty pleasure'. What appeals to us appeals to us for a reason, and often that reason lies precisely in the promise of how much better it might be outside of relations of commodity, in some different system of social mediation.
Just a few hurried notes.
Firstly, why the shock? Did anyone ever seriously doubt that neoliberalism was deeply criminogenic with respect to its supply chains? You can't keep food prices 'competitively' low--further legitimating, by the way, the lowest possible wage for working consumers--without the use of extreme exploitation somewhere in the production process (including of course 'technical' production, distribution, exchange and consumption). Everyone already knew this, or at the very least deeply suspected it. By now we've become adept at disavowing our own sense of complicity, while individual expressions of guilt really do achieve nothing.
So this is going to be one of those in-betweeny, not-much-to-say updates with dribs and drabs of filler material. These take the form of a number of observations.
We continue to enjoy the rule of the coalition government: a government that lays waste to social and public networks of support and co-operation, mercilessly cutting away infrastructure and institution, slash-and-burning the fabric of collective socialisation while complaining that Britain is 'broken'; holding fire-sales of public institutions and commons to ridiculously underprice their value for private investors to gobble up; bemoaning all the while the bureaucracy and waste of state, public and civil resources while installing at every level a new and highly punitive authoritarianism intended to ensure the ubiquity of competitive, marketised behaviour. There is nothing streamlined, 'lean', or regulation-lite about austerity neoliberalism, when it comes to implementing and enforcing market 'logic', and nor is there anything personally liberating or individually self-realising about considering all persons to be autonomous entrepreneurs. Already-existing entrepreneurs, which is to say, hereditary millionaires who had the ingenious idea of being born into the right family, exhibit behaviours which are of course as phenomenally under-regulated as those of the financial sector, whose exploits triggered a global economic collapse (later blamed on state expenditure, and of course the Labour party). But for everyone else, for 'the 99%' (why not), all aspects of life must be strictly regulated by the intervention of competitive market mechanisms, from education to decisions about how to die.
Bat020 asked:
Q: can/should the colour blue be reclaimed for the left? pic.twitter.com/yiIynDgoBW
— bat020 (@bat020) February 13, 2014
In answering this question, I want to contextualise the political aesthetics of blue, so to speak. This won't even touch anything like a fully-considered genealogy of the aesthetic usage of blue, but constitutes what I would consider to be a paradigmatic 'sampling'.
What I find interesting is that all social movements, from 1968 onwards, tend to confidently assert that they are 'not a unified social movement'. This even goes for the latest neoreactionary groups like the 'Dark Enlightenment'. Indeed the fact that a deep unease over asserting any kind of unity, long used as a kind of shibboleth for the new social movements, can so easily be accommodated to the new political Right, is deeply troubling. After this point, whatever was distinctly politically Leftist about the systematic rejection of 'totalising' forms of social unity, especially when the rhetoric is uncritically and unthinkingly reproduced by groups on the Left, begins to evaporate. How many accounts of social movements and groups begin by including the disclaimer, 'of course, _____ is not, and never was, a unified social force'? In this ubiquitous and flippant usage, not even functioning as a token Deleuzean valorisation of 'difference' over 'dialectic', it risks meaning virtually nothing. It risks shading into continuity with late capitalism, which has itself functioned perfectly 'through the management and distribution of differences' (Noys 2010:x)
A few select quotations from the late Stuart Hall:
"By enabling us to think about different levels and different kinds of determination, For Marx gave us what Reading Capital did not: the ability to theorize about real historical events, or particular texts (The German Ideology, Marx & Engels, 1970), or particular ideological formations (humanism) as determined by more than one structure (i.e., to think the process of overdetermination). I think 'contradiction' and 'overdetermination' are very rich theoretical concepts—one of Althusser's happier 'loans' from Freud and Marx; it is not the case, in my view, that their richness has been exhausted by the ways in which they were applied by Althusser himself.
Posted on facebook recently, this early 1990s 'Viz.' parody of the red-top / tabloid hatred of benefits recipients during the last Tory recession leads me to make several points. In fact I think that realistically I could write all day and possibly all week about it, but I will limit myself to just three:
Yet another 'thread' or topical conversation between members of a revolutionary group on social media (to which I was not actually a party at the time, although being and remain a member) chronicling various responses to two hyperlinks--firstly, the Rich Russian Socialite Who Likes to Sit on People-shaped Chairs, the Pictured One Being Black to Provoke Reaction and Publicity; and secondly, The Perverted Negress, A Black Woman Specialising in BDSM Subordination, or 'Bottoming'--led recently to another of those débâcles which increasingly seem to characterise the British Left. Taking 'full transparency' at its word, here is reproduced one of the outcomes, in the form of the email meted out to members:
So, a brief pause in What I Am Supposed To Be Doing allows me a little time now.
Some (minor) notes on reification and appearance are now up.. Both need a lot of work.
Christmas, New Year, taking stock, serial visitations by the retinue of the dead...
Psychoanalysis theorises the process by which the renunciation of pleasure spontaneously reverses into the pleasure of renunciation. I've always felt this particular perversion was a very British Thing, and if so it would explain why something like 'austerity' can be so readily accepted and unopposed in the UK.
You know that book you are reading that gets you feeling "I should have read this one first, before I tackled ... [insert difficult work of Hegel / Kant / Irigaray / Lacan / whoever]"? Well, if you had actually read it first, it wouldn't have worked in that way at all. Its precise role is to retroactively organise the material content you had already won in the fire of intellectual struggle but never registered at a formal level. That struggle for content can't simply be skipped even though it appears fruitless at the time.

Device manager and other admin tools hang.
Recently I've been having problems with my USB drives not being able to eject safely after certain periods of use, as Windows would give me a message saying that the drive was still in use even though it wasn't. I tried to fix this problem by uninstalling the USB drivers and letting Windows reinstall them. After I did so, the problem became worse, and Windows can't reinstall the drivers. In addition, Windows is also telling me that there is an error with my webcam drivers and bluetooth drivers. I have tried to open device manager again to see what the problem is but trying to open it doesn't work. The computer doesn't hang but the program doesn't open, and any further efforts to open the program have no response, start menu also stops working. This happens with other system admin tools as well. I recently reinstalled Windows due to a computer virus and don't want to do that again. Any tips on how to fix this problem?

Re:. Admin tools hanging
I know I marked this thread as solved previously, because the problem seemed to solve itself spontaneously. But this problem is back again today. Windows update is now stuck at 11% download permanently for the update on 11/11/13. When windows update automatically turns on, all other admin tools like device manager etc cannot be opened, and cause the start menu but not the computer to hang. When I shut down the computer, I have to use ctrl-alt-del and use the red button in the menu that comes up. A message pops up before the computer shuts down stating that I have too many 16 bit programs open, and if the problem persists, to edit something called FILES in my config.sys folder. I have no idea what is going on and would like to update my Windows. Can anyone please suggest a course of action?

could I live every moment like the tagline for the movie trainspotting?
think of the best orgasm youv'e had, mutiply by a thousand, and you are still not close to it. 7 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

I want one of those kisses where your leg pops up. I had a dream last night that a man sang to me, and I was so turned on and in love with him that I started rubbing up against my husband in my sleep. And then I woke up and realized it was only him.
I made him stop touching me. 8 years ago

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Al-Qaeda Africa group has little support: US experts
Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb, a group originally
from Algeria, has failed to gain a strong following as it extends
into Africa's Sahel region, experts told a US Senate panel
The panel, which focused on US counter-terrorism priorities in the
Sahel -- defined as including parts or all of Burkina Faso, Chad,
Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal -- was told the group
is under pressure from authorities in Algeria, Morocco and Libya.
While AQIM "continues to be a menace" in parts of the Maghreb and
the Sahel, it has "failed to meet its key objectives," said Daniel
Benjamin, Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the State
Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African
Affairs, Benjamin said the group "is financially strapped,
particularly in Algeria, and unable to reach its recruiting goals.
In the Sahel, they are also having difficulties recruiting."
AQIM's brand of Islam is too extreme for most Sahel residents,
said John Carson, the Assistant Secretary of State for African
Affairs. "AQIM's ideology and violent tactics are antithetical to
the vast majority of people in the region," he said.
The group has failed to build "meaningful alliances with
insurgencies and criminal networks operating in the region," he
Carson told the panel that the group's reliance on the kidnapping
and murder of Western citizens shows its weaknesses.
While AQIM will continue to threaten Westerners, it "cannot
seriously threaten governments or regional stability, nor is it
poised to gain significant support among the region's population,"
Carson said.
Benjamin also downplayed the possibilities of an AQIM attack in
Europe. "There is no question that we need to take this
possibility very seriously," he said, but added the group's goals
in Europe are more "aspirational than operational" mainly due to
pressure from Algerian authorities.
US officials "believe the group's ability to project itself has
been degraded," Benjamin said.
AQIM announced in May that it had executed Briton Edwin Dyer, one
of six Western hostages kidnapped in the Sahel region in December
and January.
According to the Mali army, dozens of people were killed on July 4
in the country's northwest in the deadliest clashes yet reported
between Mali soldiers and AQIM militants.

These came in handy and saved my tail from much lasting pain. Wish I would've had a pair of these last year. They fit well under my pants and were still plenty flexible where I didn't even think about them being there.... until I took a spill.

Gaza: Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh welcomed Tuesday Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan`s determination to visit the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip despite US pressure.
Erdogan`s decision to visit the Palestinian territory "emphasizes that the era of US tutelage has ended", said Haniyeh in a statement issued by his office, reported Xinhua. Haniyeh is currently visiting Qatar.
Erdogan announced Tuesday that he is going ahead with his visit, scheduled next month after he finishes a trip to Washington on May 16.
On Sunday, the US Secretary of State John Kerry met Erdogan and advised him to cancel the Gaza trip.
The US, Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) held that such a visit would bolster Hamas, which took over the coastal enclave after routing forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007.
Israel imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip in a bid to isolate Hamas, the militant Islamic group that doesn`t recognize Israel.
In March, the US brokered an Israeli apology to Turkey as the first step to restore the diplomatic relations between its two Middle East allies to their track.
