Taslima Nasreen and Sanskrit Playwright Bhasa, What is Common to them?
Her detractors want her work burnt down. Here she is in good company of great Sanskrit playwright Bhasa (circa 4th/5th century BC).
Take heart Ms. Nasrin.
A G Noorani said in Economic & Political Weekly December 1, 2007 : "Book banning is a civilised form of the vice of book-burning which is a sure symptom of fascism. India has a formidable record of book banning. As with much else, independent India simply took over the habits of the British raj."
Does India have a formidable record of book burning too?
According to the late Durga Bhagwat दुर्गा भागवत, Indians burnt down Bhasa'a भास play "Pratima प्रतिमा" because they didn't like it.
Durga Bhagwat liked Bhasa's plays more than any one else's.
She said: "Kalidasa is sweet to ears but there is no 'stuff' in him. No 'stuff' no drama…"
Bhasa wrote 'Pratima' based on the life of Rama.
She further said: "…But people didn't like it (Pratima) and they burnt it down. After passage of hundreds of years some one discovered 'Pratima' and hence we have it…
…Such was the unprecedented talent of Bhasa. I like Bhasa very much. There is not an iota of artificiality in him."
(Source- Easy Conversations: With Durgabai by Pratibha Ranade ऐसपैस गप्पा : दुर्गाबाईंशी, लेखक प्रतिभा रानडे 1998)
D G Godse द ग गोडसे too wrote a beautiful essay on controversial 'Pratima'.
According to Godse, Rama in Bhasa's play has the main objective of expanding Arya's empire beyond river Godavari by conquering Anaryas (non-Aryans). (No wonder M Karunanidhi isn't happy.)
Like the Old Testament, both Ramayana and Mahabharata (episode of burning of Khandav Forests) tell us chillingly how Aryans went about acquisition of new land, dispossessing it of its earlier inhabitants.
The Economist December 15, 2007 said:"...Over the centuries, pioneer peoples, from the Ulster Protestants to the Boers, have drawn inspiration from passages in the Old Testament which describe the acquisition of new land, and the dispossession of its earlier inhabitants.
What makes America's Christian Zionists unusual is that their fascination with conquest is vicarious: it is projected onto a land thousands of miles away. The movement's followers are unlikely to feel at first hand the consequences of the policies they advocate. This makes their aspirations both more aggressive and more fantastical."
One interesting observation of Godse is as follows: Jatayu is a traitor Anarya. While killing a fellow Anarya- Jatayu, Ravana says: I will send you to dwelling of Yama (यमसदन). But dwelling of Yama is an Aryan concept. Therefore, Ravana's usage of this alien phraseology is very meaningful.
(source: "Destiny in Bhasa's Play Pratima"------ "भासाच्या 'प्रतिमा' नाटकातील 'नियती' "-------'नांगी असलेले फुलपाखरू' 1989)
On December 9, 2007, the Hindu reported:
"…Mr. Bhattacharjee was referring to the controversy generated by reports in a section of the media that said that the Chief Minister, while delivering a public speech on the 15th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid on Thursday, had said that Lord Ram existed only in the poet's imagination.
"While addressing a public meeting organised by the government of West Bengal, Sports and Youth Service department, in connection with the 15th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid, I quoted the following lines from Rabindranath Tagore: 'Kobi tobo monobhumi Ram er jonmosthan Ayodhya r theke satya jeno' [the poet's mind is the birth place of Ram, which is more real than Ayodhya]," the statement said."
Tagore is dead for a while now. Else, he would be on the run! How can anything be more real than Ayodhya?
Like in the picture below, Ram indeed has become a dreaded word for many people.

The Amendment to Defund Obama's Teleprompter: 2011–2011
President Obama's reliance on a teleprompter while giving public speeches is a half-funny Internet meme from two years ago. It is high time, then, that the cause is taken up seriously by America's foremost elected official, Representative Steve "Who?" Womack (R-AK). On Monday, he attempted to tack on an amendment to the proposed budget that would prohibit the president's Teleprompter from receiving financial support. However, it looks as if for now, Obama's Teleprompter will continue to remain obsequiously funded. According to FoxNews.com, Womack later "pulled his amendment because he wasn't able to get an estimate on how much it would save."In other budgetary news, Representative Randy "Oh, the 'Baby Killer' Guy?" Neugebauer (R-TX) suggested an amendment that would "strip funding for the alteration, repair or improvement of the executive residence of the White House and instead divert that amount to deficit reduction." Ooh, but, loophole: if the Teleprompter is kept in the White House, would Neugebauer's amendment divert funds from that, too? Policy wonks, we welcome your analyses.

Toyota Highlander Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning
kenlw Posts: 190"Yes, that's correct. Check which way the arrow is pointing on the temperature knob before you pull it off, so that when you push it back on, you align it the same way."
better yet, turn it all the way (either way) before you remove it, then it will be easier to get it back aligned the same. -
luckybelly Posts: 15I got 01 Highlander V6 with non-auto temp control.
My A/C is fully charged but intermittently I don't get cold air. I know this cuz I have used temp guage and know the temp when cold and warm. The temp setting knob works fine. But do not get cold air, while driving intermittently it will start sending cold air but consistently.
Anyone run into this problem and know the fix. Any help is helpful.
:confuse: -
wwest Posts: 10,706If the engine coolant is approaching the level of overheating, not yet at that level, the A/C will be shut off to keep the condensor from pre-heating the airflow to the radiator. Once the coolant temperature drops back to the normal range the A/C will start up again.
Being stopped for awhile or moving slowly along in stop and go traffic with the engine mostly idling and A/C still going on a hot day will result... -

wwest Posts: 10,706The human comfort equation involves air temperature, humidity, and radiant heating/(cooling) effects. If you let the car set out in bright sunlight with the windows rolled up the interior will (over)heat to such a great level that it might take an hour with a dark or black interior for the A/C to cool the interior surfaces enough that their radiant heating effects on your body can be overcome by the A/C cooling airflow.
There are times when Toyota's design engineers seem to be a little TOO concerned with passenger discomfort and "this" is undoubtedly one of those times. You can be cool the cabin down quickly by discomforting yourself briefly with system airflow that is a bit TOO cool.
First, move the temperature setpoint to the COLDEST position. That should result in the blower speed going to the highest level once the A/C begins cooling the airflow. It will also, typically, result in the system switching to recirculate mode. If so then immediately switch it back into fresh mode and lower the rear windows an inch or so.
The object of this "stage" is to move the "super-heated" airflow out of the passenger cabin and in the process hopefully reduce the interior surface temperatures slightly.
Over time and trials you will begin to be able to judge when to switch to the next stage.
Now switch the system to recirculate mode and lower the blower speed to adjust your noise intrusion comfort level. At this point the lower the blower speed is the lower will be the temperature of the system airflow. If you continue to need it cold, TOO COLD, in order to more quickly cool down the cabin then you might want to switch the airflow to footwell or mixed dash/footwell mode.
I found it helped quite a bit cooling wise, COOLDOWN, to purchase and install a manual water flow shutoff valve in the engine coolant flow line to the heater core. That not only serves to bypass the reheat.remix mode of the HVAC system but results in a significantly lighter load for the A/C compressor and thereby an improvement in FE. -
kenlw Posts: 190Not to disagree but the heater bypass valve should already be closed (actually, in bypass mode) when the temp is on "cool" and the outlets are not on defrost.
To cool a car down quickly after sitting in the sun, 1st put down ALL the windows, switch the AC to NON-recirculate and the highest fan speed. After about 1-3 minutes of driving, roll up the windows and switch the AC to RECIRCULATE.
Why? The fastest way to move the cabin temp down from 140 is to get it to 100 by rolling down the windows. Then let the AC take it from 100, instead of trying to make it work against 140 air. -
wwest Posts: 10,706"heater bypass valve should already be closed..."'
If you mean the reheat/remix vane/door then it will only be fully closed, and REMAIN fully closed, with the system in the max cooling position. On the other hand if you mean the actual coolant flow valve then the beancounters have been successful in eliminating that feature some years ago now.
If the hot engine coolant is allowed to flow through the heater core then the radiant heating effects can be rather substantially adverse to the cooling capability of the system. -
tonney Posts: 1My 03 Highlander has a similar problem. When either the fan/vent or A/C is on, every once in a while the heat starts blasting. Very inconvenient. Had this diagnosed today - a resistor in the circuit board behind the panel will have to be replaced...$1,100!!!!
Anything like this out there??? -
irishcasey Posts: 36Yes, my 2002 V6 Highlander with manual ac/heat controls is also exhibiting this same condition. With the temp dial on blue (cold) and the fan on and the a/c on it periodically and intermitently blows warm air rather than cold air. It will do this for maybe 10 to 15 seconds and then go back to blowing cold air. So just $1,100. Are you going to get a second opinion?
Also my V6 is using excessive oil and has blue exhaust when started in the morning. My dealer insists on measuring the oil usage requiring me to take it to them periodically to measure oil. Last trip used a quart of oil in 500 miles. I'm aware of the slug settlement but my dealer pulled the head cover off and told me there was no sign of slug. It's not sounding like they want to help me.
Anyone have any suggestions, please help. thanks. -
texastoolguy Posts: 1I had same problem a few weeks ago. It started about a month ago and it gets progressively worse. Toward the end. My AC was fine if ambient temp was below 80 but the hotter it got outside the hotter the air blew inside. Kind of defeats the purpose of AC. Dealer say it's a known issue but my extended coverage expited in May and it's dang hot here in TX... I paid the 1 K for the PWBA and it fixed it.
jtumis Posts: 3How do we fix it? What is a pwba? Can I do this myself?
Perhaps letting Toyota know may do something?

mikefm58 Posts: 2,88204 HL, 4 cyl, 40K miles, manual temp. controls, A/C blowing air that is barely cool, compressor not cycling on, freon pressure test is good. My wife is the primary driver and describes it kind of like some of the recent posts, works intermittently. I didn't see that anyone had anything conclusive. Any ideas?
mikefm58 Posts: 2,882You're right about the compressor cycling, I must have not heard it correctly. I did notice the temp. control knob was quite loose as others have stated. I pulled the cover off and hand tightened the nut, seems much cooler now, but it's night time, still hot here in Florida but I'll know more tomorrow when it's hot.
djmetak Posts: 1I had the same problem with airconditiong on my 2005 Highlander. When I would select either heat or cold, it would be changing on its own every couple of secs. And then I found this forum and read some of your comments. I took off the temp knob, and there was a little screw which I just tightened and now it works like it should. Before I found these forums I was thinking of taking the car to the dealer who would probably rip me off. Thank you guys a lot.
Since you helped me fix this problem, maybe you can this one also.
Couple of weeks ago somebody broke into my car. They broke the drivers window. I ordered a brand new window from the Toyota dealer and raplaced it myself. The window works fine up and down, closes, opens but the only problem is the "Auto up". When I pull the which all the way up for the window to automaticly close, it come all the way up, and then by itself opens (comes down) half way and stays like that. In order for me to close it without opening on its own, I have to close the window manualy, not pulling the swich all the way up for the "auto close". I was told that I need to reset the motor and for that the dealer wants 150 bucks. I just don't think that it is worth that much money and that there is a another way to solve this problem. Does anybody know how I can reset this window so my Auto works?
THank you in advance... -
AnthonyVWSmith Posts: 2Highlander 01 with the Auto Climate controls. Recently had the engine replaced and the AC works fine except when I put on the recirculation button. If the weather is cold and I turn on the recirculation button, it remains on... but when the weather is warm it seems to reach a certain point and then the recirculations starts to turn itself off and on, off and on. Any ideas
karen42 Posts: 2my '04 Highlander A/C started blowing warm air. A check at my repair shop showed no freon so they added some and checked for leaks. Had cool A/C about 24 hrs, then hot air again. Freon added again but no leak ever found and again had cool air for about a day. The condenser and clutch are fine so I was told the evap core is probably the problem Also, when I just have the vent control on and the temp know turned too the cool side, hot air will come out when I go around a curve or corner. Very weird. Any ideas? I was told replacing evap core was very labor intensive therefore big $$. I live in an area where I need the A/C in the warm months. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
mikefm58 Posts: 2,882I had a wierd similar problem like you described, but I wasn't low on freon. The air temp. in my case would also go between hot and cold by itself. Grab a hold of the temp. control knob and shake it. It should be firm. If it's loose, pull it straight out and check the nut that tightens down on the bolt. Tighten it down and use some lock tite so it won't come loose again.
Good luck and let us know if this fixes it. -
AnthonyVWSmith Posts: 2Have now resolved the issue and it turns out to be TOO MUCH freon which causes the pressure sensor to cut out. I'm guessing that the garage I used filled the freon manually and put too much in. So if you have the situation where you can get cooling when the re-circulator is switched off, but when you put on the re-circulator the A/C continally switches on and off, then check the freon levels.

After a slow, sometimes listless first half, Floyd Central scored four times in the second half to beat rival Providence 4-1 Tuesday at the Floyd Central Soccer Complex.
The Highlanders, who are now 3-0, were a completely different team from the opening half to the final one. In the first half, they had five shots; In the second, they had 13. In the first 40 minutes, they had four scoring chances; In the second, they had 10. In the opening half, the Highlanders put two shots on goal then had six in the second, including the four goals.
"The kids were excited about playing at home against a rival in front of a big crowd," Floyd Central first-year coach Tim Rice explained. "In the first half, we didn't play our style. In the second, we played our style and it was more characteristic of what we're capable of."
"The first half was kind of slow," Floyd junior Henok Jones said. "At the half, we talked about the things we needed to fix. In the second half, we did what we needed to do out there."
The halftime adjustments were immediately noticeable. In the first minute, Jones foreshadowed things to come when put a shot past Providence goalkeeper James Garner that sailed just over the goal.
A few seconds later, Parker Davidenkoff got the Highlanders on the board on a crossing pass in the box from Zach Lewis.
"Zach got a good run down the wing," Davidenkoff recalled. "He made a good cross and it was an easy tap-in for me."
In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Floyd got four shots off. Then in the 56th minute, the Highlanders showed off their depth. Hunter Poff started the scoring play with a run down the right sideline. He beat a Providence defender and found Logan Howland. Howland played a ball across the box to junior Aaron Brockman, who put the ball in the net for his first varsity goal.
Both Howland and Brockman are Highlander reserves.
"[Howland] played the ball right to my foot and I just finished it," Brockman explained. "It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Hopefully, I'll get some more this year."
Rice said that his Highlanders are quickly picking up what he's teaching.
"Our style is to get everyone involved," he said. "We want to be multi-dimensional. We want to make defenders make difficult decisions [about] who they want to defend because we have several players capable of scoring."
Brent Hesse cut the Floyd lead in half with Providence's only goal of the night with 17:17 left in the second half. Hesse got his head on an Evan Holkamp corner kick and put the ball in the net to make it 2-1.
"Brent Hesse is the tallest guy on our team," Providence coach Brandon Rogers said. "He was able to get up and place it well. It was a good finish."
After the Pioneers got back in the game, Jones put them away.
First, he played a crossing pass from Davidenkoff into the net to make it 3-1 with 8:59 remaining in regulation. Less than two minutes later, Jones beat three Providence defenders and put the ball over Garner's head in the night's most impressive individual play to put the Highlanders up 4-1.
"Henok Jones is a special player," Rice said. "You can't deny his ability. We'll depend on that from him, but without the other two goals, it's 2-1 the game's a lot tighter."
Providence (1-1-1) will go to Indianapolis Chatard on Saturday. The Highlanders will put their unbeaten mark on the line next Thursday (Sept. 5) when they go to Corydon Central.
Providence 0 1—1
Floyd Central 0 4—4

text: Category: Family Fun Date: Saturday, 14 December 2013 Santacon, possibly the most bizarre festive event London has ever seen, will be returning to the streets of the capital this year to delight and enchant children of all ages. The hilarious extravaganza will see the roads in the middle of the town flooded with people dressed as Santa, all of whom will be handing out gifts, singing Christmas carols and generally spreading the holiday spirit. While the exact details and route of the haphazard parade will remain a secret until December 13th - just 24 hours before the event itself - top London landmarks including Trafalgar Square and Oxford Street are hotly tipped to feature. Kids are certain to be particularly delighted by Santacon, but make sure they have some fun to go back to after watching the parade by checking into the family friendly Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel. With the Magical London package, they can expect a nice mug of Hot Chocolate on arrival as well as free films.

Customizing ALUI Portal Text
Virtually all text strings in the portal have been extracted to XML files, mostly for internationalization. Check out %PORTAL_HOME%ptportal6.1i18nen for these files. Why should you care? Here are a couple reasons:
- I had a customer who didn't like calling Communities Communities. They wanted to call them "Spaces" or something like that. By simply doing a search and replace in these files, they were able to do that.
- Customizing the text that shows up on the login form is also a big feature (explaining to users which Auth Source to pick, for example); simply find the text in ptmsgs_portalbrowsingmsgs.xml, and replace it with whatever you want.
- New files can be created here that allow you to create your own string files for use in your own code. That way, text can be easily changed later as needs evolve.
- If you know the index of the string you want to use, you can use Adaptive Tags to get the portal to transform it for you, including internationalization support. For example, suppose you're writing a login portlet; take this section of ptmsgs_portalbrowsingmsgs.xml:
... and instead of putting the text "Create An Account" in your HTML, you could use:
<pt:logic.value pt:value="$#1.ptmsgs_portalbrowsingmsgs"/>
Then, this Logic Tag will automatically transform the text in your portlet into the appropriate language for the string with an ID of 1 ("Create An Account").

Danielle is the most interesting contestant in the house right now. Wait, roll with me on this for a second. She's not the best player by a long shot. In fact, next to her three fellow Quack Packers, Danielle can't help but look like a lightweight. Dan has turned the final month of the season into a veritable Hall of Fame tape, wheeling and dealing and encircling the whole house in ever-more-elaborate lies. Ian defeated all those early expectations that he was a fawning lightweight, executing a power move against one of the best players in Big Brother history -- and when you consider that the Quack Pack only existed because his espionage gave it a reason to exist, you have to give him some extra credit for getting 4/5 of his midseason alliance into the final round. Shane's game has gone downhill in counterbalance to Ian's: Once considered a major threat, with two early HoH victories and three consecutive veto wins, Shane has spent the last month contentedly buzzing through the background, looking for all the world like the world's prettiest and most fashionable Roomba. He won last night's veto competition when it counted, though -- and there's nothing wrong with floating like a butterfly, so long as you don't forget how to sting like a bee.
But Danielle. Right now she holds all the cards, and it's impossible to know what her next move is. Her game has been dominated by two key relationships: Her frustrating flirtmance with the elusive Shane, and her day-one alliance with Dan. It's difficult to pin down either of those relationships. Shane and Danielle have a weird sibling chemistry that can look a little bit like a grade-school romance, if you squint -- and Danielle is squinting. Meanwhile, Dan's initial role as Danielle's coach gives their interaction the flavor of a student-teacher mentorship -- but Dan has cheerfully thrown Danielle under the bus on multiple occasions. Danielle hasn't helped matters by bemoaning her utter dependency on Dan: She needs him, and the few times that she has lost him, she has fallen to pieces. You get the vibe that Dan cares about her, but only to the extent that Mario cares about Yoshi in Super Mario World. By which I mean: "Oh, bummer, I lost my Yoshi! Oh well, at least I still have my cape. Anyhow, she wasn't even a Blue Yoshi. No biggie."
Making those relationships even more complicated, of course, is the fact that both guys expect Danielle to take them to the Final Two. And Danielle isn't planning some kind of double-reverse power play: She wants those guys in the Final Two with her. Sure, last night, we saw some suspicions beginning to form. She told Jenn that Shane's attitude was confusing her, and voiced her ultimate concern: "Maybe he is just doing all this romancing or whatever for the game." It was a tense moment to be doubting Shane. Dan wanted to get Shane out of the house immediately; the only reason that Shane wasn't already gone was because Danielle talked him out of a backdoor during double eviction night. (ASIDE: If Dan loses Big Brother -- and I think he might -- the decision to keep Shane in the house will haunt him forever. It was the only time this summer that he made a move that was in someone else's best interest -- in this case, Danielle. In that sense, maybe Danielle did make a power move, albeit accidentally. END OF ASIDE.)
But Danielle's decision was rendered moot by the veto competition, which involved assembling a Salvador Dali puzzle while jumping back and forth in a harness and pressing a red button every twenty seconds. If you didn't hit the red button, all the puzzle pieces would fall off their perch. Shane had the smart idea to configure the puzzle pieces in the trough before assembling them. Dan had the equally smart idea to put all the pieces on the board and then solve them from the button side. But Dan didn't count on Ian, who got himself kicked out of the game on a time violation and decided to help Shane get himself off the block. (ASIDE: If Ian wins Big Brother -- and I think he might -- his constant devotion to the Quack Pack will be what sways the jury his way. The thinking might go: "Well, at least he didn't backstab everybody." END OF ASIDE.)
So Shane won the veto competition -- and with it, a luxury prize. He got to bring one person with him. Was there ever any doubt that he would pick Danielle? And does it even matter why he picked her: For love, or for the game?
NEXT: McKayla Maroney is impressed by Shane, is somewhat less impressed by Danielle

'Born This Way' book shares intimate stories of early LGBTQ identity
Book cover for the new book 'Born This Way: Real Stories of Growin Up Gay."
Paul Vitagliano says he knew he was gay from about five years old, but he didn't come out to himself for another 14 years.
As an adult, Paul wanted other young kids questioning their sexuality to know they're not alone, so he started a blog called 'Born This Way.' The blog features childhood photos of gays and lesbians, along with personal stories inspired by those pictures.
'Born This Way' is now a book and it features everyday Americans and more well-known names like Congressman Barney Frank to Perez Hilton.

There is a story I love, one of those stories that bolsters me up. It's about the Korean monk who founded the school of Zen where I meditate (the Kwan Um School of Zen).
Dae Soen Sa Nim, as his students called him, decided that world peace would come if all the religious leaders of the world got together and had a good, human conversation.
The way to do that, Dae Soen Sa Nim believed, was to get all the world's religious leaders to have a hot tub together.
In order to get all the religious leaders into the same hot tub, Dae Soen Sa Nim thought it was important that the invitation came from the most senior religious leader in the world--the Pope. He wanted the Pope to send out a letter that said, essentially, "Dear Fellow Religious Leader, How about we get a hot tub and figure out how to get world peace?"
So without invitation, Dae Soen Sa Nim got on a plane, flew to Italy, marched up to the gates of the Vatican and asked to see the Pope. No, he told the guard, he did not have an appointment. The guard sent Dae Soen Sa Nim to see one of the priests. A day or two later, the priest sent him to see a bishop. A couple of days after that the bishop got him an appointment to see a cardinal.
As the story goes, the cardinal in question did not see the value in Dae Soen Sa Nim's approach. The Pope, presumably, was too busy with other, non-hot-tub-oriented approaches to world peace. There, the effort died.
But why this story gets told again and again in the Zen school is because of the sheer "just try, try, try, for ten thousand years only try" energy of Dae Soen Sa Nim's approach. He started from where he was and just did the best he could, given the particular person he was. He had an idea that he thought might help, and instead of questioning himself, he trusted himself. He tried.
This story suggests that, instead of sitting around figuring out the best way to save the world, we should just start saving the world. It's too late for more think tanks. We need do tanks. Thirsty people need water. Hungry people need food. It's not any more complicated unless we make it so.
You may say, wait, this is a story with no pay off. The kooky guy tried and it didn't work. Except that's not the reason the world has not been saved. The reason the world has not been saved is because not enough other people have yet joined in with their own kooky attempts. Not enough other people have yet vowed to "just try, try, try, for ten thousand years only try."
So just try. It might not be your effort that gets the Pope in the hot tub or saves the world. It may not be mine. But if we all just start trying from where we are, one of us, or a couple of thousand of us, will soon cross the finish line and get the job done.

Abortion doc murdered:
My title is taken from a tweet by @matthew_ryan. Follow him on Twitter.
Like I said on Twitter I would like to add to his tweet but I think it says plenty. Not just about the media though but also about us as a country and our understanding of what terrorism actually is. Of course the nation's overall misunderstanding didn't just "happen" it was aided, abetted and thought up by BushCo.

The most famous song tackled by Oldham is probably [b]Bjork[/b]'s "I've Seen It All", which originally appeared on the "Dancer In The Dark" soundtrack. He also gets busy with tunes by [b]Phil Ochs[/b], [b]Merle Haggard[/b], [b]Mickey Newbury[/b], [b]Danzig[/b] and - yes! - [b]R Kelly[/b]!

Confessions for Showing 91 - 100 of 379
I had an affair with the office pervert, it was fun, I am glad. And he was sexy!
I work with 3 crazy people who should definitely be on medication for their mental problems and my 40something boss likes to share WAY TO MUCH INFO. about her sex life with her employees. I'm starting to hate this job!
Please do not loudly discuss your sex life in graphic detail in the lunchroom. Trust me, the entire floor is not interested in how many times you and your friend came last night, and how messy it was after, you no class ghetto girl.
Dear Boss, Do you realize whenever you speak of your wife and new baby, saying you will be the one 'grilling' and 'chilling' while the women take care of the children, it makes me wonder why all the guys get most of the projects/work around here? Yea. Sexist pig.
I'm married for 6 years, 29 y.o. and I'm having sex with my boss.
Not complete "bedroom" sex, just oral sex that I perform on him a few times a week.
He's old enough to be my father and I'd like to break it off, but I don't want to lose my job.
I started doing it to keep it a couple of years back and I'm still doing it.
Problem is, my husband lost his jjob and we really need the money I bring in.
I don't care who and how you have sex as long as your partner/s is consenting, however, I think the participants in our City's Pride Parade would get more respect if they actually wore more clothes and had less spanking/whippings - nothing more fun then watching unsuspecting parents explaining that parade float!
My manager is lesbian, and 2 of my co-workers are lesbian...my bisexual self is like a kid in a candy store. All 3 are super sexy too. Oh also forgot the receptionist is lesbian and in a relationship with the Manager. Or they could all be bisexual....all I know is this is the best job I've EVER had. Score.
What the hell is wrong with Congress? Why would they not pass a law for equal pay among the sexes?

The Liberals' Moment (2007) by David Pietrusza, B.A. '71, M.A. '72
In 1960: LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon, award-winning author and Amsterdam, N.Y., native David Pietrusza, B.A. '71, M.A. '72, chronicles the pivotal election of 1960, in which issues of civil rights and religion converged. His well-researched and compelling text reveals new secrets in an objective way.

Royal Caribbean Mired in "Friends of Dorothy" Controversy
It does seem odd that
Royal Caribbean
-- which Cruise Critic and others have lauded as one of the industry's most gay-friendly cruise lines (it's even hosting a charter next month billed as "The Largest Gay Cruise in History II") -- is finding itself under fire.
But indeed it is.
As we learned from a story in the New York Blade, a gay couple who traveled recently on
Enchantment of the Seas
was dismayed to find there'd be no posting in the ship's Compass for a meeting of Friends of Dorothy (want to know more about FOD? Read our At Your Service: Friends of Dorothy).
The passengers' onboard request to include an announcement of the get-together, a concept that's fairly common across most fleets in the cruise industry, was denied. According to the report, the onboard director of guest relations told them that a new company policy allows only cruise-oriented events to be mentioned (with one exception: Friends of Bill W., part of Alcoholics Anonymous).
Cruise Critic contacted Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Leslie Katz, who was well aware of the situation and who confirmed the company's rationale. "Our company policy says that we don't put announcements for outside groups other than Friends of Bill W. in the Cruise Compass," she said, "We only feature ship- and company-sponsored announcements ranging from singles clubs to bridge clubs."
For the record, most other cruise lines have no problem featuring an announcement for Friends of Dorothy in ships' daily newsletters. Among those who responded to Cruise Critic's request for details are:
"We have held FOD meetings on some of our ships. If passengers want to hold a meeting during a cruise, they usually have to contact the cruise director to schedule it. They'll have to see what rooms and times are available on each voyage and, as with other groups who want to schedule meetings on a Carnival cruise, we'll try to accommodate their meeting requests during a sailing."
"Friends of Dorothy meetings are held on each
voyage and listed in the Daily Programme on each ship -- and on
as well."
"Basically, it's up to the Cruise Director. Either he hears from us that we have a large group of gays and then he'll post a Friends of Dorothy meeting announcement in the daily program or those on board will request it."
holds Friends of Dorothy meetings upon request -- and similarly, will include mention of them (date/time/location) in the Celebrity Today newsletter if guests request."
Holland America
"[It is] at the cruise director's discretion. Really just depends on the day. Some days are packed with events and there's only so much space in program. We have a policy to do our best to assist and put in program if space."
Norwegian Cruise Line
"We do this every week onboard all our ships and advise in the Freestyle Daily."
Radisson Seven Seas Cruises
"We have no written policy regarding FOD meetings. Basically, these are on a request basis and/or if the cruise director feels there is a need/demand for one."
"Friends of Dorothy meetings are not really an issue on the
yachts. With just 208 guests maximum, and in the sociable atmosphere aboard our ships, any gay guests traveling on the ships quickly meet each other if they wish to."
"We publicize meetings upon request -- but it doesn't come up that often. Passengers should approach the cruise director once they get onboard."
Cruise lines that didn't respond to Cruise Critic's query about Friends of Dorothy policies include
On its part, Royal Caribbean seems embarrassed about the attention the issue is generation. Katz hastens to say that "we've got no issues about Friends of Dorothy," noting it's more of a logistical issue than a statement pertaining to lifestyle. "Think about how many guests are on every cruise -- how many family groups, for instance -- who might want announcements about meetings. That would be so time consuming for our staff that the Cruise Compass would never get out!"
However, Katz does add that the company is re-evaluating the policy. We'll keep you posted.

Fall arrives and my desire for cooking warm seasonal meals goes into high gear. I love cooking for my family and friends. Harvest dinner parties in cooler weather with seasonal food. This Pear Pumpkin Soup will be starting many parties this fall.
I am partnering with Mountain High Yoghurt to create a series of seasonal recipes and this Pumpkin Pear Soup is a great starter for holiday dinners or served along a salad for a weeknight dinner.
The sweetness of the pear's complement the pumpkin and is a great soup for the kids. This year instead of adding cream I am stirring in Mountain High Plain Yogurt. It gives the soup creaminess without the extra calories.
When hosting dinner parties I like having several dishes that you prepare ahead of time so that I can enjoy the time with my family and friends without running around the kitchen. This is great because you make it in one pot, a day ahead of time. Heat up just before serving. For Thanksgiving we like to put it in the crock pot with mugs and let people serve themselves.
Here is how to make the Pumpkin Pear Soup.
Saute the onions and apples along with the pumpkin pie spice.
When the mixture is dry add the stock and pumpkin.
I used an immersion blender to mix, but if you don't have one use a blender or food processor. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. When cooled mix in the yogurt. Store until ready to serve and heat up slowly over the stove before serving.
I top the soup with a mixture of yogurt and honey, sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice and sprinkle toasted hazelnuts and dried cranberries. It makes such a pretty start to your meal.

The sweetness of the pear compliments the pumpkin in this creamy Pumpkin Pear Soup. Mountain High Yogurt provides the creaminess without the extra calories.

- In a 4 to 5 quart pan, melt butter and olive oil over high heat. Add onion, pears garlic, pumpkin pie spice, and cayenne and stir frequently until pan is dry and onions are soft.
- Add chicken broth, pumpkin and 1 tablespoon honey. Using an immersion blender combine until smooth. Bring to a boil and remove to cool. When cool blend in 1/2 cup yogurt. Warm before serving but do not bring to a boil.
- For the topping mix the 1 tablespoons and 1/2 cup yogurt. To serve, place a dollop of the yogurt mixture on top.
- Add a little crunch with a topping of dried cranberries and toasted hazelnuts. Drizzle honey over the yogurt cream.
Make ahead and warm up in a crockpot the day of serving.

The CW's Hidden Palms wants to be The O.C. meets Twin Peaks. Or maybe that's One Tree Hill meets Veronica Mars. What About Brian mixed with a dash of Columbo? Whatever its muddled aspirations, Palms, from Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson, is an un-eerie, under-soapy misfire, no matter how many girls sun themselves in bikinis, no matter how many cocktails are gulped, no matter how goosey-gotcha the ''mystery'' gets.
After witnessing his dad's suicide, high schooler Johnny (The O.C.'s Taylor Handley) relocates to Palm Springs, Calif., with his mom (NYPD Blue's Gail O'Grady) and her new hubby. Trying to stay sober after a rehab stint, Johnny soon falls in with a troublesome crowd, including his invasive next-door neighbor Cliff (The O.C.'s Michael Cassidy) and hot, tearful Greta (Amber Heard, who, I must add, played a ''salesgirl'' on one episode of The O.C.). It's a bit bizarre watching these former O.C. secondaries in lead roles: Handley played obsessive Oliver Trask; Cassidy was that goody boy Zach Stevens. Cassidy's elevated, nasal delivery works much better here. As a sinister prepster with a passel of secrets all madras and muscle tension he's the most interesting thing about the show.
Soon after his arrival, Johnny starts receiving instant messages. They say things like ''Be careful.'' (Yikes!) Then he writes things like ''WHO IS THIS?'' (Tedium building.) After many such unproductive exchanges, the IMer claims to be Eddie, the dead teen who used to live in Johnny's room. So did Eddie kill himself? Was he murdered? Or is he still alive? And what do Greta and Cliff who have many cryptic conversations on the topic know? Hey, great thrillers have been made from slimmer plotlines. But they usually had something else to offer. Palms, even in its first few episodes, feels like it's padding scenes playing for time with shots of swimming pools and kids dancing and Greta weepily collapsing on a golf course, all with underlying pop songs. It's like one long, inane music video. Damien Rice's ''The Blower's Daughter'' makes a predictable early appearance, threatening to overtake Jeff Buckley's ''Hallelujah'' as TV's most overused ''song of poignancy.''
Even the dialogue is mediocre, a surprise coming from Williamson, who virtually created knowing teen articulators with Dawson's. Here, the characters yak a lot but say nothing, which is either Williamson's commentary on the over-wired, self-involved e-generation, or...mediocre dialogue. ''Moments work really great anything beyond that really doesn't,'' opines Greta in a slap-a-seagull-on-it-and-you've-got-a-poster bit of wisdom. Palms is ultimately just that trite.

Director Ridley Scott reveals the mythology of the beloved hero in his pre-outlaw days
Ridley Scott doesn't like his heroes to be all nobility, no flaws. Therefore he has taken the myth of Robin Hood and stained it with the blood of helpless women and children, while in the employ of an even more flawed King Richard. This Robin (as played by Russell Crowe) even dabbles in the shell game — literally — and is willing to impersonate a dead knight in order to get back to a home that doesn't mean that much to him except as a refuge from killing for the sake of killing in a senseless crusade.
No, this is not the classic 1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood, but it is an excellent tale that harks back more to Scott's Kingdom of Heaven than his Gladiator.
Yes, there are no merry men per say, but there are men of humor. There are no men in tights and Sherwood Forest doesn't show up until the finish. There is a Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston), without the good press of earlier Robin Hood tales.
One character, however, does remain steadfast in the mythology; King John (Oscar Isaac) is as awful as we've come to expect. However, the Sheriff of Nottingham is a weak-willed minor player; his spot as the master manipulator is taken by the traitor Godfrey (Mark Strong).
In this tale of his pre-Sherwood days, Robin Longstride must learn how to be a hero. His instinct for self-preservation is slowly transformed into the nobility to fight for a cause and a life he believes is worth dying for.
We meet Robin Longstride as an archer for King Richard who is weary of war, especially a war that involved killing the innocent. When he dares to express his thoughts on the barbaric actions of the army to his king, he and his friends — Little John (Kevin Durand), Will Scarlet (Scott Grimes) and Allan A'Dayle (Alan Doyle) — are put in stocks. When the opportunity presents itself for escape, Robin and his mates take off and search for refuge. In the course of that quest they come upon the dying knight Robin of Loxley. In order to get home, Longstride and his friends steal the armor and identities of the fallen men.
Once home in England, they find a country in ruin and on the brink of civil war. The taxation angle of the Robin Hood tale always works, and in Scott's version, the taxman is the vicious Godfrey, a confidant of King John and a French agent who is more than willing to slaughter his countrymen in his quest to fill the coffers of the king.
Robin will organize the landowners to save their country from unreasonable taxation and the French army, but first he must take care of the personal business that takes him to Nottingham, to return the sword of Loxley to the knight's father, Sir Walter Loxley (Max Von Sydow). There he finds a man who becomes his father figure and a women, Marion Loxley (Cate Blanchett), who captures his heart.
Director Scott, working with a screenplay by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential), presents the epic battle scenes he does so well, and as a master storyteller, he imbues this tale of Robin Hood with grime and grit. Which is not to say that it is without humor — Friar Tuck (Mark Addy) does show up, after all, and Robin's not-quite-merry men engage in life's little pleasures with gusto and a wink when they aren't on the battlefield. It was fun watching TV veterans Durand (Lost) and Grimes (E.R.) cavorting on the big screen. And, while we might want more of the romantic angle between Robin and Marion, Crowe and Blanchett do keep the spark glowing at a low ember.
The actor who best embraces this medieval landscape is the superb Mark Strong, a regular in the gangster films of Matthew Vaughn and Guy Ritchie, who has lately become the go-to villain in American films (Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass and soon in The Green Lantern). In Robin Hood he creates a lovely blend of Basil Rathbone-era evil with his own modern twist.
Scott's Robin Hood might not be the noble hero of the earlier films, but he is a hero that modern audiences should embrace.
Robin Hood
Directed by Ridley Scott; rated PG-13
"big budget D-U-D. russell is so disappointing in this phoned in hackneyed disaster it's sad. S-A-D."
"Robin Hood was a great movie. If I could, I would watch it a million times. The only thing that I can think of that you left out is that Alan Doyle, one of the merry men, has no acting background. He is part of a band (Great Big Sea) and this was his first time starring in a movie."
"Just saw this tonight, was better than I expected. Epic battle scenes, great characters and a (yes complicated but not overly so) story that make you care, which is always nice, just very polished in every way. Never a moment when the atmosphere created didn't seem utterly realistic."
"To the movie critic: ....................please.........find a job at McDonalds
To the cretins who thought this film has any legs to stand on: GET A LIFE!"

text: Hawaii unemployment rate lowest since November 2008 November 17, 2012 HAWAII: Hawaii's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the month was at 5.5 percent for the first time since November 2008. The Hawai'i State Department of Labor & Industrial Relations said on Thursday that October's numbers were down from 5.7 percent in September. Statewide, there were 606,950 employed and 35,550 unemployed in October, for a total seasonally adjusted labor force of 642,500. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.9 percent, up from 7.8 percent in September. Governor Neil Abercrombie also issued a statement on Thursday, saying the news was a clear indication that his administration's economic strategy is working. In a media release, the governor stated: "Hawaii's improved unemployment rate is another welcome sign that our economy is continuing to recover. Coupled with our state's strong credit ratings of Aa2/AA/AA and today's encouraging economic growth forecast by the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, we are seeing clear indications that our administration's economic strategy is working. To continue this positive momentum, we remain committed to our proven plan of fiscal prudence and investing in state infrastructure and facilities that will continue to stimulate the economy and create employment opportunities for local residents." Dept. of Labor & Industrial Relations had these technical notes: Seasonal Adjustment The seasonal fluctuations in the number of employed and unemployed persons reflect hiring and layoff patterns that accompany regular events such as the winter holiday season and the summer vacation season. These variations make it difficult to tell whether month-to-month changes in employment and unemployment are due to normal seasonal patterns or to changing economic conditions. To deal with such problems, a statistical technique called seasonal adjustment is used. This technique uses the past history of the series to identify the seasonal movements and to calculate the size and direction of these movements. A seasonal adjustment factor is then developed and applied to the estimates to eliminate the effects of regular seasonal fluctuations on the data. When a statistical series has been seasonally adjusted, data for any month can be more meaningfully compared with data from any other month or with an annual average. Current Population (Household) Survey (CPS) The labor force statistics are derived from a survey based on the week including the 12TH of each month of Hawai'i residents with a sample size of about 1,000 households. A series of questions are asked to assess whether a person is currently part of the labor force, and if so, what is their current employment status. Employed persons consist of: 1) all persons who did any work for pay or profit during the survey reference week, 2) all persons who did at least 15 hours of unpaid work in a family-owned enterprise operated by someone in their household, and 3) all persons who were temporarily absent from their regular jobs, whether they were paid or not. Persons are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks, and are currently available for work. Workers expecting to be recalled from layoff are counted as unemployed, whether or not they have engaged in a specific job seeking activity. Persons not in the labor force are those who are not classified as employed or unemployed during the survey reference week. Benchmark Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data The 2011 and 2010 labor force estimates have been revised to incorporate updated inputs, updated population controls, re-estimation of models, and adjustment to new division and national control totals. The updated population controls reflect the annual updating of population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. Change to Monthly Employment Estimates This release incorporates revised job count figures from 1990 through 2011 for the seasonally adjusted series. The reconstructed data reflects data from historical corrections applied to unadjusted supersector or sector level series. For years, monthly employment estimates for Hawai'i and our metropolitan areas have been developed by analysts with the State Department of Labor – Research and Statistics Office. These estimates were based on a monthly survey of Hawai'i businesses and analysts' knowledge about our local economies. Beginning with the production of preliminary estimates for March 2011, responsibility for the production of State and metropolitan area (MSA) estimates was transitioned from individual state agencies to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For Hawai'i, this means the transition of statewide and Honolulu MSA areas. State agencies will continue to provide the BLS with information on local events that may impact the estimates, such as strikes or large layoffs/hiring at businesses not covered by the survey and to disseminate and analyze the CES estimates for local data users. BLS feels this change is designed to improve the cost efficiency of the CES program and to reduce the potential bias in state and area estimates. A portion of the cost savings generated by this change is slated to be directed towards raising survey response rates in future years, which will decrease the level of statistical error in the CES estimates. Until then, state analysts feel this change could result in increased month-to-month variability for the industry employment numbers particularly for Hawai'i's counties and islands. Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force and Unemployment Estimates for Honolulu Effective with the release of metropolitan area data for May 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is publishing smoothed seasonally adjusted civilian labor force and unemployment estimates for all metropolitan areas. This includes estimates for Honolulu County. The data will be available on the day of each Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release. The schedule for 2011 is available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausched.htm.

Not sure if it's the right heading but I'm wondering about mixing flowers. Are there combinations that just don't look right together? I have been avoiding lillies because they aren't really my style and thought they would look weird in my garden (mostly cosmos, zinnias, coneflowers and daisies). But I saw a lily tree and want one so bad. Would it be out of place? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a tree and so no I don't see how it can clash with your planting scheme. I suggest that perhaps you pleach the tree (or any multi branching tree) to emphasize the beauty of the tree amongst the backdrop of a your cottage garden bed. Ianna |

I've also been seduced by the beauty of the Lily Trees in Breck's spring catalogue and have ordered some. I plan to add them to the "mix" and look forward to seeing what they'll do in my zone 5b garden. In your garden I think it will be a fabulous addition toward the back as it will quickly tower over the other plants ... the foliage will be a nice backdrop giving more punch to the cosmos, coneflowers and daisies. |
