Measure 79, which put a ban on real estate transfer fees in to the Oregon Constitution, was pronounced dead before the November 6 election, yet somehow managed to pass with a 59 percent majority.
The Salem Statesman Journal ran a story a week or so before the election citing an opposition poll conducted by a reputable Washington, DC firm. The poll showed the measure losing 54 percent to 31 percent.
The poll relied on a sample of 600 respondents, which is appropriate for a statewide survey in Oregon. And the results were based on reactions to the actual ballot title, which is what voters read on the ballot.
Defend Oregon, which opposed Measure 79, predicted the $6 million spent by supporters, primarily the National Association of Realtors and the Oregon Association of Realtors, would be for naught.
"It seems clear that Oregonians have seen through this dishonest campaign," Scott Moore, a spokesman for the opposition, told Peter Wong of the Statesman Journal. "Oregonians are pretty skeptical about attempts to amend the constitution, especially when they are paid for by big, out-of-state interests."
Moore's point about big, out-of-state money certainly was underscored by the thumping of Measures 82 and 83, which would have amended the state Constitution to allow privately owned casinos. However, Measure 79 passed, earning more votes in the process than President Obama.

Has anyone grown the New Zealand delphiniums (such as the New Millenium series) here in the South and do they have good heat tolerance as described? Would really like to grow delphiniums. Thanks for any input, K |

I'm brand new at growing delphiniums, but bought some of the NZ ones because they're supposed to take the heat better. They're not real tall, maybe 2.5 ft. They did fine - I had them on the east side of the house where they'd only get morning sun. I'm going to get more transplants next spring and try in a few other places as well. |

this word should mean good, excellent ,attractive and good quality at the same time.which adjective should i use.
how about engaging and appealing ?
Personally I prefer bodacious tires!
sorry , my words are used for describing people .
Thanks all the same.
I think "awesome" is to exhuberant, not quite appropriate for the utilitarian useage of a tire.
Efficient, adequate, or even superb would suffice I think.
Great question. I am curious about how many other words might apply.
I'm not so alert at the moment, so I must be content with these meager suggestions.

Frito-Lay forwards Doritos.com to its Facebook page
Is forwarding your brand's .com domain to Facebook a good idea?
A reader just notified me that Doritos.com is no longer a standalone web site. Frito-Lay has simply forwarded it to its Facebook page.
This appears to have happened a few months ago, so it's not "news". But it's the first I've heard of it.
I'm not a fan of companies turning over their web presences to Facebook. Or even advertising their Facebook page in a commercial instead of their own domain name. Doing so puts you at the whim of Facebook and its frequent changes to terms of service.
But in this case Frito-Lay is retaining the domain it tells people to go to — Doritos.com — instead of promoting a Facebook URL.
That's a little different. By branding Doritos.com as the destination, it can always change course later.
Yet it still makes me a little queasy, like the time I puked up a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
What do you think? Is this a good use for a brand's .com domain name?
11 Comments
The problem is that most/many ,not all by any means,end users are brainless when it comes to online strategy and Facebook looks nice easy ,well known option for them and they do not realise the pitfalls and downside. I have had a number of end users fail to buy the .com that I own and instead just use Facebook . Not good and hope Facebook does something more to put them off.
Great idea if you have no web page at first and most of all to build up your fan page , likes or other. After that I dont see why.
The value in a site is lost thereafter unless you plan on not really selling your product or service on that site in which case…this fits that mold. -
In the general case, no, it's not a good idea.
However Doritos is doing it right.
They're trying to get people to engage with the brand. They know their audience is already on Facebook and are currently running a campaign to vote for the Doritos superbowl commercial.
Using the domain to feed direct nav visitors into that campaign makes sense.
As I told Andrew via email earlier it could possibly affect the domain name business if more brands/companies were to adapt to this.
I just think by giving your traffic to FB or any other company for that matter is quite absurd to say the least. I highly doubt FB is paying for that traffic from Pepsico.
I spot-checked other Pepsico brand (7up, Frito Lay (main(, RiceARoni, Gatorade, etc and it appears Doritos.com is the only brand they are experimenting with.
The only downside to this would be for individuals working in IT as contractual or sub-contractual design firms for these national brands. Some brands use in-house designers while many rely on professional design companies.
If more brands move to forwarding their domains to their brands FB page, IT budgets would undeniably be much less than running standalone sites for each brand or product.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks Andrew will try that.
It's a stupid move, but these people have so much money they don't care what anyone else thinks. During the SuperBowl a couple of years back, they promoted a different URL than Doritos.com during their commericial so they could, you know, "track" it better.
Great Move.
Great "easy to maintain' interactive destination = FB.
better yet … Great .Com-duit!Take this ultra-memorable .com domain out of the picture/mix and what do you have?
location location location !
where are the bad news?
(I think some of you over-reacted)
Robert. -
Great move, here is why: it is a great way of keeping their name out in the public, and interacting with the consumer, it is not like if they have a standalone website the consumer will be making orders of their product online.

100 Fenwick Street, Portarlington
Period Charm in Prime Position
The not only handy but also much sought after location of this home is relatively obvious with the beach, shopping centre and school all within a couple of minutes' walk but don't be fooled by the seemingly unremarkable facade as another world awaits through the solid timber entrance door.
Almost unexpectedly, the interior of the building has all of the detail and period charm of an original cottage with polished timber floors throughout, classic timber panelled walls and ceilings, spectacularly high ceilings and a warmth that can only be found in true character homes. Each of the 3 bedrooms are supersized and feel even more so with their white-wash finish. Ceiling fans in each provide comfort from the sizzling Portarlington summers when you have to drag yourself away from the safe sandy shores.
Living areas in the home are centrally located to allow for the perfect flow and include a spacious but cosy living room with reverse cycle heating/cooling as well as a traditional open fire for chilly winter nights along with a massive country style eat in kitchen/dining room at the rear. Here the colour scheme shifts and incorporates the bolder colours and heavy timbers that are so often associated with heritage properties with double hung windows and French doors allowing good air flow and an entrance onto the huge decked alfresco overlooking the garden. The bathroom continues the traditional theme with pedestal basin and claw foot bath but also comes with the convenience of a free standing shower and separate WC via the roomy laundry area.
Situated on a 1000sqm allotment with subdivision potential (STCA) and ample shedding secured behind lockable gates, the backyard is perfect for pets and children and even boasts the obligatory fruit tree in the centre of the lawn. Perhaps not what you expect from first sight, this home has a charm that is difficult to reproduce in modern days and well worth inspection so that it may reveal all of its treasures to you personally.
- 1000 sqm approx.
- Walk to beach, shops and Primary School
- Development Potential
- Filled with character

I have worked with a lot of different kinds of plants but have never gotten into or had a brom. before. I find identification very confusing for this kind of plant and would love any help with this one!
I went over to a friend�s house for a major plant maintenance project and ended up taking apart a huge plant that is about 30 years old. The growing conditions aren�t perfect so there are no colors for help. I also have never seen it flower. From the way the flower is described it sounds more like a leafy growth with a tall stem, like a guzmania, but way bigger. It has stout spikes that marked my arm up while repotting. The leaf ends are more rounded and the leaves are floppy, but this might be due to lower light... I am going to be bringing home a medium sized offset soon and would appreciate knowing what I'm working with. Any guesses or genre would be great to narrow my research. Thank you in advance :) The picture below is before it was divided. I will take a better pic of the offset once I get mine to help out. |

Hi everyone GreenPhase - Judging from your photo and what you say about the plant in it, I think it is Aechmea Fasciata (grown in low light). It was one of the early Bromeliads to be brought into cultivation from its Brazilian habitat in 1826, and since then many millions have been commercially grown annually for sale in many of the bromeliad growing countries throughout the world. It is still one of the most popular and highest selling bromeliads in the world and there would be very few bromeliad collections that don't include a plant of Ae. Fasciata. It also grows well when mounted in trees such as the Peppercorn Tree in my garden (see pic) All the best, Nev. |

Thanks! They said it was a pink flower! Those sure are pretty and look right at home in that tree :) Any specific care through your own experience? And does this species have any strengths or weaknesses I should know about? |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 12 at 18:22
Loose, gritty soil. My soil has Turface, perlite, grit and pine bark in more or less equal amounts with perhaps 10% potting soil. I summer mine on a screen porch where they get about 2 hours of direct sun and winter them in an east facing window. Although I'll water the soil sometimes, I mostly water in the cup. My third generation of Aechmea fasciata. I do like those blooms. tj |

Thanks guys! One of my biggest concerns now is how I change out the water in the center and if I have to or not. What's a process that doesn't make a big mess? And should the water be special in any way? tap work? |
- Posted by hotdiggetydam (My Page) on Thu, Nov 1, 12 at 16:02
Just flush it out with a hose. Any good clean water will work. Or turn it upside down and dump it and then fill the cups half full. I do mine atleast every 3 weeks and more often in high temps. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Thu, Nov 1, 12 at 18:48
Since my city water has fluoride and chloramine, neither of which dissipates, I use collected rain water. Evaporation usually empties the cups for me. tj |

An affordable 3D HDTV
Nowadays it is all mainly about gadgets that can incorporate as many features as possible without overflowing. Some products have much too many, while others too few. Vizio has created a TV which sports many, but you won't feel like drowning in them. The company's E3D470VX goes into the category of TVs that have a lower price than usual , but their options make up for that big time. This model is the manufacturer's best one. Internet avid people will find this device to their heart's content. See what other treasures it holds from our next review.
Not impressive design
Vizio didn't mean for its E3D470VX to become world famous for its design. So this TV stays away from that kind of looks that could kill. This product looks like Vizio's older TVs from two years ago. That design is made of some familiar elements. Such as glossy frame painted black and a speaker grille along the bottom. In the middle of that speaker grille we saw a sort of dimple. But no, our eyes didn't deceive us; it was no damage done beforehand, just a design detail.
Every TV ever made needed a remote control to feel complete. The one Vizio added in the package was particularly dependable when we performed a bunch of our standard tests for this article. Considering that this is in no way an expensive set, the remote is clearly a feature which stands out. On its back is a QWERTY keyboard which will get you pretty excited. Buttons give better feedback and so typing is made more comfortable. But no backlight is available.
2 pairs of glasses included
This keyboard is set in motion not via Bluetooth, but through infrared. Even if it will feel like a con because of that, it's not. It worked really well once we had a go at it. On the front of the remote control, things aren't as great as on its back. Buttons were small and there also was no backlight.
As for the menu, you will love it. You won't need to have a university degree on how to master something like it. We got quick feedback and everything was explained to us until we understood everything completely. Navigation was easy like Sunday morning.
Vizio's expensive TV sets feature 4 pairs of passive glasses. The E3D470VX comes with only 2 pairs. And they are fully functional.
Facebook and Twitter access
Internet features can be enjoyed thanks to the device's integrated Wi-Fi. And playing with this feature in our benchmarks proved that it was a pro. World Wide Web services are of a very good selection. Except YouTube, a conspicuous absence, all the crucial services are present.
The E3D470VX is very capable of just allowing you to simultaneously check your Facebook and also Tweet. It's something similar to multitasking, if we can say that. Picture controls, picture modes and presets will seem a lot. But they are all very important to what the set will show you on its screen in the end. But there are absolutely no gamma presets.
Color accuracy was for all scopes and purposes brilliant. Deep shades of black on other TVs looked here shallow and washed out. The screen is matte, so there's no way you will see reflections. Uniformity was fortunately present. 3D performance was decent.
The Vizio E3D470VX is a TV set with an array of really fitting features that not many cheap products sport.

hendy, I'm a little confused about your posting. Could you provide a little more information. JAWS |
My english...?... I found a hawthorn(Crateagus) with 4 colors.. 2 branches(foliage) are green and all the others have 4 colors(leaf)(green,white, pink and red) it's nice..I contaminated(test) some other plants with extract to verify if it's possible to contaminate some other plants J' ai trouvé une aubépine (Crateagus) avec 4 couleurs..les deux branches(feuillage) du bas sont vertes et les autres sont de 4 couleurs(feuille)(verte,blanche,rose et rouge.. c' est trčs joli... |
>2 branches(foliage) are green and all the others have 4 >colors(leaf)(green,white, pink and red) Are the two branches that are green below a graft union? Or do you think the top has somehow mutated? >I contaminated(test) some other plants with extract to >verify if it's possible to contaminate some other plants |
Bonjour Ce ne serait pas une variété greffée puisque les deux branches vertes sont dans le bas? Je ne jamais entendu dire que l'on pouvait "transférer une mutation" d'une plante ŕ une autre (provoquer une mutation génétique) par un traitement réalisé ŕ partir de décoction de feuilles... |
je crois que cette idée de greffe devient plausible.... mais je me pause la question comment a-t-on fait pour avoir ce plant avec autant de couleur..peut-ętre une chimčre mais....(l'origine) j' ai déja observé des branches sans presque de chlorophyle chez le lilas ou parmi de jeunes semis.. mais elles disparaissaient rapidement.. mon expérience est en fonction.. ce que j' ai essayé sur des semis(spores) de fougčre ŕ complčtement bruler.. je veux inoculer encore en juin plusieurs arbustes dont des pommiers et quelques plants d' aubépines.. |

Hmm... anyone know a good translation site? http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html translates the third post as: I found a hawthorn (Crateagus) with 4 couleurs..les two branches(feuillage) of bottoms are green and the others are 4 couleurs(feuille)(verte, white, pink and red. it is very pretty... I have contaminé(test) other seedlings with an extract to check if that is possible to contaminate other seedlings... That's not very good. Hello This would not be a grafted variety since the two green branches are in the bottom? I never heard to say that one could "to transfer a mutation" of a plant to another (to provoke a genetic mutation) by a realized treatment from brew of leaves... Although. ..la question appears interesting. Concerning for example the trees tortueux of the forest of Verzy, person so far did not understand why in this forest one found at once beech tortueux (fagus sylvatica var tortuosa) but also chataigniers tortueux and an oak tortueux. It is not impossible that an again misunderstood mechanism allows transferring through the ground a character (Here tortueux) of a plant to the other. In the case of the false one of Verzy, the hypotheses of a mutation caused by a virus or a radiation (falls meteorite) never was proved. Ouch. I believe that this idea of Clerc's Office becomes plausible.... but I pause myself the question how one made to have this seedling with as much couleur..peut-to be a dream but... (l'origine) j' have déja observed branches without almost of chlorophyle at the lilac or among young sowings. but they disappeared quickly. my experiment is in function. what j' tested on semis(spores) of fern with completion bruler.. I want to still inoculate in June several shrubs of which apple trees and some seedlings d' hawthorns None of the 3 are that great. |

I spent 3 years as a vegetable breeder in the Republique du Niger. I do remember enough French to read what you have written, but not enough to spell anything I might reply in French. It is not impossible that a virus caused the varigation. That has been found sometimes. But such is not usually the case. No harm in trying to transfer the variagtion, but I much doubt it will be successful. Walter |

Like Walter, I remember enough French to read what you wrote about: "Dans le cas des faux de Verzy, les hypothčses d'une mutation causée par un virus ou une radiation (chute de météorite) n'a jamais été prouvée." The ancient twisted beeches (Fagus sylvaticus sp) may be the result of a virus or some other mutation (tulip virus caused changes in tulip coloration) mais je pense son aubépine (Crateagus) avec 4 couleurs est naturelle hybrid http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/cultivars/acer_crataegifoli-veitchii.html |
Interesting but it's not this one..with green ant white more pink and red hendy |

i placed a posting on verigated weeds once if you can find it . it took a while but i found out what caused it and it would work on valuable plants also. and they were still verigated from seed. i dont have the time at the moment to work on it. |

If I understand correctly, the variegation has some pink in with it as well. Anthocyanins (pigments usually contributing pink, red, or purple hues to plants) can be stress induced as well. Perhaps your variegated sections are experiencing some stress and that's contributing to the beautiful pinkish coloring. Such is the case with that variegated boxelder on the market and many other variegated plants as well. I suggest closely looking at the foliage to see if you can find patterns throughout the leaves for where the yellow or white segments of the leaves are being produced. That may shed light on if it's a periclinal chimera with one of the three layers of the meristem just being compromized in its ability to produce chlorophyll. THere's a wonderful book called Plant Chimeras by Richard Tilney-Bassett (ISBN 0-7131-2936-0) 1986 that describes chimeras well and various plants with "thick or thin" tissue layers from a meristematic layer. If your variegation is viral, there is a high chance it would have spread throughout your whole plant. Anyway, if this variegation is a new sport found on your tree and there isn't a nice variegated Hawthorns on the market, you may have a nice new cultivar. You can propagate the variegated section by grafting it onto some rootstock and then coordinate with some nursery to test and possibly introduce it for you. Sincerely, |

Hendy, Je suis désolé que j'aie pris tellement longtemps pour répondre. Malheureusement, ma mčre a souffert une course massive et n'a pas récupéré. Votre usine pourrait ętre une nouvelle mutation, si elle la greffe alors aux actions normales pourrait avoir comme conséquence une nouvelle usine. Your mastery of English now exceeds my mastery of French. David is correct, your Chimaera might be propagated by grafting it to another Cratageus plant. Votre usine pourrait ętre une nouvelle mutation, si elle la greffe alors aux actions normales pourrait avoir comme conséquence une nouvelle usine. |

Today is the 20th anniversary of the death of Leonard Bernstein, the composer and conductor who almost single-handedly managed to keep classical music relevant and vital to the general public during the early years of the rock-n-roll age. Though his influence in that regard arguably died somewhat earlier than he did, I look back on his death as a significant blow to the fortunes of classical music in general, which had long suffered a disconnect from everyday people in America, for reasons I won't get into here. Others have addressed his influence eloquently; and on today's anniversary, other authoritative voices have added thoughtful tributes, including Bernstein's own son.
In that context, I figure I should stick to my personal experience with Bernstein.
In the summer of 1988, I was entering my junior year as a student at Indiana University, where I had been studying classical percussion performance. Earlier that same year, I had participated in a production of Bernstein's rarely performed "Mass," a sprawling Tower of Babel writ in music. In late August, I and the 100-plus musicians who had performed that work hopped on a plane and flew to Massachusetts, where we performed the "Mass" at the Tanglewood Music Center for Bernstein's 70th birthday celebration.
Last month, as coincidence would have it, I bought a two-CD recording of the "Mass." As I popped it into the CD player later that night, I began writing in my journal. Here's that entry, in its full, unedited stream-of-consciousness:
Sitting in the basement listening to the riotous opening "Kyrie" to Leonard Bernstein's "Mass," memories flooding in from when I sat in the percussion section performing this same music more than 20 years ago now. I remember getting chewed out by the conductor in front of the entire orchestra during a rehearsal when I was unable to play the drumset part. Ugh. I remember flying to Massachusetts for our performance at Tanglewood — my first airplane flight since I was a young kid. Sitting next to the percussion section leader, a long-haired dude named Jamie something, feeling queasy, feeling like the plane was constantly tilting upward, even as we descended; looking at Jamie, noticing that he was asleep with his eyes half open, only the whites visible. Fucking creepy.
I remember hanging out with a female violinist — maybe near a lake? We hit it off quickly, I thought we would date; but later, when we got back to Bloomington, she admitted she was engaged to someone. Oops.
I remember performing for a huge and appreciative crowd that included Bernstein himself, who, appearing quite drunk, told the crowd afterward that it was the best performance he'd heard of anything, ever. I somehow doubt it.
It was probably the most moving musical moment of my life. I remember quietly crying at the end of the performance, back there in the darkness of the orchestra pit — I suspect partly for the message and mood of the music, and partly for what I knew I was giving up. By that time, I had already decided I was done with the music school. I remember this being a bittersweet farewell to the passion I had devoted myself to for most of my life.
I still don't know if I made the right decision.

Domestic abuse of women has been in the public eye for many years. Many studies have examined its nature and extent, shelters for abused women have been set up, and legislation and police charging policies have evolved in response to the growing appreciation of the extent of the problem. The extent of the comparable issue of domestic abuse of men is not as well known and understood by the general public. However, recent findings have become available that contribute to a better understanding of domestic or intimate partner abuse of men.
Statistics Canada first collected data on intimate partner abuse of both men and women through its 1999 General Social Survey (GSS). Respondents were asked 10 questions concerning abuse by their current and/or previous spouses and common-law partners during the 12-month and 5-year periods preceding the telephone interview.Footnote 1 According to their responses, almost equal proportions of men and women (7% and 8% respectively) had been the victims of intimate partner physical and psychological abuse (18% and 19% respectively). These findings were consistent with several earlier studies which reported equal rates of abuse by women and men in intimate relationships.Footnotes 2-16
Some scholars suggest that the motives for intimate partner abuse against men by women may differ from those for abuse against women by men,Footnote 17 and that women suffer more severe injuries than men.Footnote 18 Nonetheless, the occurrence of abuse by women against men, and its consequences, warrant attention. It is important for the victims of abuse, whether they be men or women, to know that they are not alone – that is, that such experience is not unique to their personal situation. It is also important for the perpetrators of intimate partner abuse – men or women – to recognize that violence in any form is both morally and legally wrong.
This document has been prepared to contribute to the understanding of intimate partner abuse by summarizing the results of studies that have examined the abuse of men by their female partners.
The title of this document is "Intimate Partner Abuse Against Men." (More specifically, though not specified in the title, the document is about intimate partner abuse against men in heterosexual relationships – both marital and common-law; it does not deal with intimate partner abuse in same-sex relationships.)
Within this document the word "abuse" has been selected so as to consistently capture both physical violence (what is legally categorized as "assault") and other, non-physical forms of abuse. Rather than repeatedly use the longer phrase "intimate partner abuse against men," we use an abbreviated designation – "male abuse" – as the dominant label throughout. For the purposes of this document, "male abuse" refers to any act carried out by a woman with the intention, or perceived intention, of causing physical injury, intimidation or emotional pain to her intimate male partner.
Many researchers distinguish between two types of physical abuse: minor and severe. The first type refers to acts such as shoving, pushing, grabbing or slapping —acts that have a relatively low probability of causing serious physical pain or injury. Severe physical abuse includes assault that has a relatively high probability of causing serious physical injury or pain: choking, kicking or hitting with an object, "beating up" the partner, or using a knife or gun against the partner. In Canada, behaviour falling into either of these two levels of physical abuse constitutes criminal assault.
Emotional or psychological abuse consists of behaviour intended to shame, demean, intimidate or humiliate. Examples include yelling at or insulting the other person, or limiting his contact with friends and family. Such behaviour often occurs within relationships that are also physically abusive.Footnote 19
Differences among studies often make it difficult to compare findings. For example, some studies ask respondents whether they have inflicted abuse on their partner, while others ask whether they have sustained abuse. A few studies measure both inflicted and sustained abuse. Definitions of abuse and measurements of abusive acts also differ among studies. Small sample sizes – some drawn from known victims and not from the general population – may make it difficult to generalize the study findings.
In many studies, the context of the abuse –such as information on the dynamics of the relationship, the events immediately preceding the abusive act, the meaning attributed to the abuse, the identity of the initiator of the abuse or the motivation for the abusive behaviour – is not documented.Footnote 20 In addition, the severity of the injury, pain or emotional damage is not always known.
Some research suggests that victims and perpetrators of abuse do not always report their experiences or their actions accurately in response to survey questions.
For example, some research has found evidence that men underreport the abuse that they have sustained and inflicted,Footnote 21 while women underreport perpetrating abuse as their age and education increase.Footnote 22 Footnote 23 This makes it difficult to capture actual abuse rates accurately.
Some research shows that studies based on self-administered questionnaires may report higher rates of abuse than studies based on face-to-face or telephone interviews.Footnote 24 Telephone surveys are often limited to English or French-speaking individuals and, obviously, they are usually limited to people living in households with a telephone. Consequently, some populations are excluded.
To measure male abuse, several studies done in North America and elsewhere have used modified versions of the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS).Footnote 25 The CTS measures rates of abuse based on specific acts of both physical and psychological abuse. The 1999 GSS measured rates of similar physically abusive acts, added sexual abuse to the measurement of physical violence, and identified different forms of psychological or emotional abuse.Footnote 26 Data based on these measures allow researchers to calculate, for a given period preceding the survey, rates of (a) minor and severe abuse, (b) each of the specified abusive acts, and (c) overall abuse. To determine the frequency of abuse, respondents are asked how often they committed or sustained any of these acts during a given period.
In the 1999 GSS, Statistics Canada surveyed 11,607 men aged 15 years and older. It reported that of those men who had a current or former partner during the previous five-year period, 7% experienced some type of spousal abuse on at least one occasion, compared with 8% of their female counterparts.Footnote 27 Like all previous studies of intimate partner abuse, the GSS findings indicate that abuse was not an isolated event: 54% of these male victims had experienced spousal violence more than once in the preceding period. In fact, 13% of them had experienced it more than 10 times.Footnote 28
It is unknown whether the rate of spousal abuse against men is changing because comparable data for male victimization had not been gathered by Statistics Canada before 1999. Available data indicate that spousal homicide victimization rates for men generally declined between 1974 and 2000.Footnote 29 Interestingly, on the other hand, the number of spousal assaults against men reported to the police was higher in 2000 than in 1995. This increase might reflect a variety of potential factors: greater willingness on the part of victims to report to the police; changes in the reporting practices of the police; and/or changes in legislation, policing or enforcement practices.Footnote 30
A Canadian survey conducted in 1987 asked 528 women, aged 18 years or older and married or living in common-law relationships, whether they had physically abused their intimate partners during the previous 12 months. Of the total sample of women, 23.3% reported that they had physically abused their intimate partners at least once in the previous year.Footnote 31 Footnote 32
Also carried out in 1987 was an Alberta telephone survey of 356 men and 351 women who were married or cohabiting. Of the men, 12.3% reported they had sustained abuse from their female partners in the 12 months preceding the survey; similarly, 12.5% of the women reported that they had inflicted abuse on their male partners.Footnote 33
In the 1999 GSS findings, abused men were more likely than abused women to report having had something thrown at them or having been slapped, kicked, bitten or hit.Footnote 34 In the 1987 Canadian survey, similar proportions of women and men reported inflicting both minor and severe physical abuse on their partners.Footnote 35 According to the 1999 GSS, however, abused women were more likely than abused men to report experiencing severe forms of violence, such as being beaten, sexually assaulted, choked, or threatened by a gun or knife or having had such a weapon used against them during the previous five years.Footnote 36
Psychological or emotional abuse includes various forms of demeaning and controlling behaviour. The 1999 GSS measured emotional abuse through seven different items ranging from limiting contact with outsiders to limiting access to financial information. About one out of five men (18%) and women (19%) reported having experienced some form of emotionally abusive behaviour in their current or previous intimate relationships during the past five years. Men and women (11% and 9% respectively) were equally likely to report experiencing two controlling forms of behaviour ("he/she is jealous and doesn't want you to talk to other men/women," and "he/she demands to know who you are with and where you are at all times").Footnote 37
In addition to appreciating the emotional turmoil and pain created by psychological abuse, it is important to realize that it can escalate to or coincide with physical abuse. According to the 1999 GSS, five-year rates of violence in current relationships were 10 times higher among men who reported emotional abuse than those who did not.Footnote 38 Earlier research also shows that psychological abuse and physical abuse are highly correlated, although longitudinal data are needed to establish whether there is any causal direction.Footnote 39 Footnote 40
Because of the complex interaction of factors and a lack of before-and-after studies, it is very difficult to identify "causes" of abuse. However, some studies have identified risk factors associated with abuse:
On the other hand, it is noteworthy that differences in educational backgrounds and income levels seem unrelated to the risk of spousal abuse.Footnote 48
Abuse produces direct physical and/or psychological consequences for the victim. According to the 1999 GSS, 13% of male victims of partner abuse reported physical injury and 3% required medical attention.Footnote 49 A recent meta-analysis (quantitative review) of more than 80 studies of physical abuse between heterosexual partners found that 35% of victims injured by an intimate partner and 39% of those requiring medical treatment were men.Footnote 50
According to the 1999 GSS, 29% of abused men reported being upset, confused or frustrated as a result of the abuse they had experienced, 26% reported anger, and 21% reported feelings of hurt or disappointment.Footnote 51 Other studies have found that both perpetrators and victims of physical and psychological abuse report lower levels of self-esteem than do non-victims,Footnote 52 and men's psychological well-being has been found to suffer as a consequence of abuse.Footnote 53
Recent narrative analyses also shed light on abused men's emotional hurt. Whereas women must struggle against abusive men and against social customs, attitudes and structures that disempower them,Footnote 54 Footnote 55 men who are abused by their intimate female partners struggle with the maintenance of a masculine ideal (an ideal that expects them to be self-reliant and independent, as well as tougher, bigger and stronger than women).Footnote 56
An in-depth narrative study examined the experiences and effects of physical abuse for 12 married men, aged 25 to 47. The men sustained injuries such as multiple bruises and abrasions, dislocated ribs, injured genitalia, minor head trauma, numerous lacerations, and internal injuries. Weapons used by the wives included clothes hangers, steak knives, scissors, screwdrivers, cellular phones, fingernails, metal pots and pans, rolling pins, keys and other thrown objects. This study provided some insight into the respondents' feelings about their situations and the effect those situations had on their self-identity:
While these findings are not generalizable, they do point to the need for research if we are to understand the contextual factors that shape the motives, meaning and consequences of physical and psychological abuse for men.Footnote 58
Such intimate partner abuse can also have indirect consequences, negatively affecting other family members. According to the 1999 GSS, 25% of male victims of spousal abuse reported that children had heard or seen the abuse committed against them.Footnote 59 There is a growing body of research on the long-term effects on children of growing up in an abusive home, including the following:
The indirect consequences can reach out even further and be seen in terms of economic costs to society as a whole. Three studies have shown that woman abuse alone costs billions of dollars in Canada each year.Footnote 62-64 No comparable estimates have been made for male abuse. However, there are clear indications that its cost to our society's productivity is significant – 11% of male spousal violence victims have reported that they had to take time off work as a result of physical abuse between intimates.Footnote 65
Effective preventive measures are based on a recognition that abuse requires intervention at three levels: the personal, the situational, and the societal.
Intimate partner abuse, by males or females, is unacceptable. The abuse of men is a complex social problem that warrants close attention. Action is needed to prevent and reduce both physical and psychological abuse in their early stages.
Unlike perpetrators and victims of abuse involving strangers outside the home, those who perpetrate and experience intimate partner abuse are often tied by the bonds of love, affection and attachment. Nonetheless, acts such as assault and threats of violence, regardless of the context, are offences under the Criminal Code of Canada.
The following are some means by which victims and perpetrators of intimate partner abuse, as well as their friends and families, can act to prevent or stop the behaviour.
There are few services designed specifically for abused men. However, support may be available from the following organizations, many of which are listed among the emergency services on or near the first page of your local telephone directory:

Although the context of partner abuse against men is under-researched, some findings on the bi-directionality and initiation of relationship abuse have been documented:
Some researchers have suggested that studies using the CTS fail to consider that women's high rates of physical abuse perpetration may be related to their attempts to defend themselves against attack. (W.S. DeKeseredy and M.D. Schwartz, Woman Abuse on Campus: Results from the Canadian National Survey. [Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, 1998]: 22; and D. Saunders, "When Battered Women Use Violence: Husband-Abuse or Self-Defence?" Violence and Victims, 1, [1986:47-60]: 54-55.) The above studies, however, suggest that many women (and men) report being the only one to inflict physical abuse and that a large proportion of women (and men) indicate that they initiated the abuse. More research into the context of the abuse is needed to understand this issue better.

Pvt. Leon W. Jackson received his basic training at Camp Wheeler, Georgia in 1943 and was then transferred to Fort Meade, Maryland. In early January 1944, he was transferred to England where he was stationed until June of the following year. While in England, Jackson was hospitalized for frequent fainting spells and was reclassified and put on non-combat status. He then served as a clerk in the Special Services and was transferred to Paris in 1945. By late 1945, Jackson was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany and continued his duties in the Special Services Office there until March of 1946, and was subsequently repatriated back to the U.S. Anthony R. Dees, the donor of the collection, was Jackson's nephew. Lois (Mrs. Claude E.) Dees was the donor's mother.
The papers consist primarily of letters written by Pvt. Leon W. Jackson during his service in World War II to his sister, Lois (Mrs. Claude E.) Dees and her son, Tony, of Goldsboro, North Carolina. Early correspondence from Jackson discusses his reflections of life at Camp Wheeler, GA, and his visits to the nearby town of Macon, GA. Church visits, daily routines, food rations, as well as a medical operation and his eventual recovery from the operation are also discussed. Jackson also writes of his dreaded anticipation to begin basic training, and later offers details of enduring the training. He also comments quite often on sightseeing tours and entertainment he experiences in Georgia, New York, London and Paris. Types of entertainment include stage shows, movies and concerts. Specifically, he mentions the London Opera Company, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Maurice Winniks Orchestra and "ASCOT CLUB." Jackson also describes his own participation, along with other troops, in entertaining sick and wounded troops at such events as a "March of Dimes" party. While in London, he offers details of his time spent in various hospitals in his attempt to receive a diagnosis of his fainting condition. Other topics addressed by Jackson include his concern for his father's refusal to retire, feelings on the censoring of soldier's mail by the U.S. government, love interests, an engagement and contact with members of the Women's Army Corps (WAC). Also of interest are a few letters that are written on specially designed stationary. Early letters from Georgia are written on stationary featuring cartoons of anti-Axis propaganda. Also, a few letters written in Paris have letterhead featuring historic images of the city. Jackson's papers also include a few letters sent to Jackson and his sister from friend Pfc. Jerrold S. Robinson, who was serving in Company C, 133rd Infantry Regiment. The papers also consist of Jackson's autograph album containing signatures of his acquaintenances from Edwards Military Institute and Pinelands College at Salemburg, NC. Two Stars and Stripes (Paris Edition) newspapers reporting on the Japanese surrender in 1945, and a 1989 article by Winkie Lee, "Homer Ball Remembers WWII: V-Mail: Microfilm Helped People Stay in Touch," in the Goldsboro News Argus describing the role of V-Mail during World War II are also present. (Ball was a Goldsboro resident, who served with the unit that produced microfilmed soldier's letters to produce V-mail.) In addition, a key to Jackson's correspondence prepared by Anthony Roane Dees, Jackson's nephew, in 2005 is also included. The key identifies people, places and other specific information contained in Jackson's letters.

10 Movie-Themed Newsweek Covers to Fuel Your Nostalgia for the Present
Cinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on October 19, 2012 | Be the First To Comment"Newsweek," the 79-year-old magazine is stepping into the present by axing their print edition to go fully digital in 2013. Editor-in-Chief Tina Brown announced the shift yesterday (tellingly on the Daily Beast site), and the polarized responses of crushing nostalgia, predictions of ultimate failure and it's-about-time praise came from all corners of (again tellingly) the internet. Whether it's a signal of internal trouble or not, it's where our world is heading, which is why it's particularly encouraging in this time of transition to look back on some of the "Newsweek" covers of the past to discover that history tends to repeat itself. Someone should package that up and coin a phrase about it. Of course, all of our choices are movie-themed, but as you'll see from the selections, the ghost of the present seems to haunt the past even in the examination of the popular art. Even without the deep sentiment, it's still fascinating to let nostalgia well up for the times gone by caught by these covers.
This Week In DVD: God Bless America,The Hunter, Wind Blast, Barbarella and More
Features By Rob Hunter on July 4, 2012 | Comments (3)Welcome back to This Week In DVD! I just moved to Arizona a couple days ago, and I have yet to get carded. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Barbarella (Blu-ray) A leftist pinko astronaut named Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is tasked with finding the origin of Duran Duran's name and rescuing a lost scientist along the way. Neither plan comes to fruition, but she does manage to use her skill at love-making to help the resistance in their struggle against tyranny, teach an angel to fly, and break a musical dildo machine. (Probably worth reminding readers that my 'Pick of the Week' isn't necessarily reserved for excellent movies or even the week's best releases, but instead it's meant to highlight a title worth, well, highlighting.) This boob and innuendo-filled, PG-rated, late-sixties romp is ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining. Cheesy, absurd and pretty damn funny.
Who Wouldn't Want Christina Hendricks as Barbarella?

Robert Rodriguez Is Getting Busy
Movie News By Paige MacGregor on May 30, 2008 | Be the First To CommentMovie auteur Robert Rodriguez certainly is a busy boy of late. Robert Rodriguez and fiancée Rose McGowan are at it again. No… I meant movies, not sex. Well, actually maybe a bit of both…
Rose McGowan Still Clinging to Barbarella Role
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 11, 2008 | Comments (4)Back in the fall the intern was all abuzz with scandal, intrigue and shenanigans surrounded Grindhouse babe Rose McGowan and Sin City director Robert Rodriguez. And no, I am not talking about all the sexy sleaze that could be found on the pages of Defamer.com, I am referring to the alleged casting of McGowan in the title role of Barbarella.
Who seduces an angel? Who takes sex to outer space? Who's going to make this thing? The list of Barbarella's iconic rhetorical questions just added a new one after Universal Pictures announced that it's dropping the project.

The members of our women's basketball team celebrated another win last week when Emily London hit a three-pointer just before the buzzer, defeating UNC-Greensboro. An important footnote for this victory was that it marked the 100th career win for Mike Morris, the head coach for the women's team. Coach Morris is known for helping his players to win basketball games . . . but he is also known as a man who cares deeply for his student-athletes, a devoted husband and father, a volunteer at his church and for other important causes, and a friend to colleagues.
The world is better because of Mike Morris.

Focusing on the gifts in our lives helps us stay grateful
The practice of gratitude as a tool for happiness has been in the mainstream for years. Long-term studies support gratitude's effectiveness, suggesting that a positive, appreciative attitude contributes to greater success in work, greater health, peak performance in sports and business, a higher sense of well-being, and a faster rate of recovery from surgery.
But while we may acknowledge gratitude's many benefits, it can still be difficult to sustain. So many of us are trained to notice what is broken, undone, or lacking in our lives. And for gratitude to meet its full healing potential in our lives, it needs to become more than just a Thanksgiving word. We have to learn a new way of looking at things, a new habit. And that can take some time.
How To Be Happy With Yourself As You Improve Your Life
That's why practicing gratitude makes so much sense. When we practice giving thanks for all we have, instead of complaining about what we lack, we give ourselves the chance to see all of life as an opportunity and a blessing.
Remember that gratitude isn't a blindly optimistic approach in which the bad things in life are whitewashed or ignored. It's more a matter of where we put our focus and attention. Pain and injustice exist in this world, but when we focus on the gifts of life, we gain a feeling of well-being. Gratitude balances us and gives us hope.
Hypnotherapy Can Bring You Love!
There are many things to be grateful for: colorful autumn leaves, legs that work, friends who listen and really hear, chocolate, fresh eggs, warm jackets, tomatoes, the ability to read, roses, our health, butterflies.
What's on your list? Below is a list of ways you can be practicing gratitude in your life!
9 Valentine's Day Gifts For Her
Ways to Practice Gratitude
As you practice, an inner shift begins to occur, and you may be delighted to discover how content and hopeful you are feeling. That sense of fulfillment is gratitude at work.

Just when I finished Epic Mickey :mickeykid on the Wii, Microsoft announced Disneyland Adventures Kinect for Xbox 360 at E3 2011. You can see demonstrations of it on YouTube.
The premise looks like you walk through the park, get your picture taken with characters, and play mini-games when you walk onto the rides. Since it uses Kinect, you do all the motions yourself without a controller.
Does a Disney game like this make you want to play?

Home Kent Business County News Article
Michelle Lane opened children's shoe shop Soles With Heart in Swan Street in April, after leaving her 25-year-long career as a hairdresser.
But little more than a month later she made the devastating discovery that she had stage two breast cancer.
The 44-year-old, of Bradbourne Park Road, East Malling, has since undergone a gruelling programme of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and has had a double mastectomy.
She said having her own business spurred her on in her fight against the disease.
She said: "I was very ill with the chemotherapy but I did still go into work as much as I could, or busy myself with the paperwork.
"The treatment was evil, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
"Then when I found out the chemo hadn't worked I thought I was a goner.
"It was the shop that kept me going. I knew I was going to lose my hair but I wasn't going to lose my business.
"Cancer had taken enough from me and that drove me on. I thought: 'I'll fight this."
Michelle's determination meant she would return to the shop hours after undergoing radiotherapy.
She has now finished radiotherapy treatment and is waiting for an update on her condition.
Now all her hard work has been rewarded, after her buisness was shortlisted for Best New Independent Shoe Shop at the Footwear Industry Awards.
She said: "It was just so exciting to be nominated. I was halfway through my radiotherapy when I found out and I was in a lot of pain and that just gave me a little boost.
"We have had such amazing feedback from customers and the traders nearby have been really supportive, helping to look after the shop when I can't get there.
"The best thing was I knew nothing about it – I didn't apply, I was nominated so the first I heard was when I got a call from a supplier who said they had just voted for me."
The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Birmingham on Sunday, February 16, just days before the shop's first anniversary.

Police officers can be fascinating characters for toddlers, with their noisy, flashing cars, shiny badges, smart uniforms and police hats. You can capitalize on this interest with some police activities that will teach your toddler about the role of this important member of his neighborhood.
Make a Police Car
Help your toddler make her own police car using a cardboard box -- ideally one big enough for her to sit in. Paint the box black and white to resemble a patrol car and write POLICE on the side. This is an ideal outdoor activity if the weather allows. Stick paper plates on for the wheels and plastic or cardboard cups on top for the flashing lights. You can also take the bottom out of your box and add shoulder straps by tying the ends of two pieces of string to the corners so she can "wear" the car. Never leave a toddler unattended with string, as it can present a choking hazard.
Talk to your toddler about fingerprints and how police officers use them. Explain how the pattern is different on everyone's fingers and test this out. Spread paint onto a sponge and have him press his finger into it and then onto some paper. You might need a few attempts to get a clear pattern as it can be hard to get just the right amount of paint on tiny fingers. Take your fingerprint to compare, as well as other family members. Another option? Rub a pencil many times on a piece of paper, rubbing your child's finger into it and then pressing onto plain paper, making sure he doesn't put his finger into his mouth until you have cleaned it.
Explore With Pictures
As your toddler becomes more aware of people around her, you can introduce her to the appearance of a police officer. Show her pictures of officers and their vehicles in magazines, books or printed from the Internet, and talk about what they wear and the color of their uniforms. Cut some pictures out and chop them up into pieces (arms, legs, head, hat) and challenge her to put them back together in the right order. For an added challenge, add arms and legs of other people and see if she can still create a police officer from the pieces. Print some police officer coloring pages and help your toddler choose the right colors to fill in the uniform.
Imaginative Play
Imaginative play is a valuable learning tool for your toddler, so help him become a police officer in his own home: he is sure to relish being in charge for a change. You can buy a police costume or make him a badge and police hat using online templates or your own creative skills. Take on the role of a child that is lost and ask your little officer for help. Pretend you have parked your ride-on vehicle in the wrong place or that you have been driving too fast and must be issued a ticket. Steal something from a Teddy or a doll and let your toddler take you to his police station.

I'm a deregulator. That's what I do. I deregulate and work to keep government from smothering the entrepreneurial brilliance of our captains of industry. They don't need oversight. They need unfettered access to cash to generate profits that trickle down their legs to you.
Business bores me but I know right now there's some trouble in our financial markets. They're collapsing. I'm not discouraged. I'm invigorated. This is like an air raid warning. I have to rush to the nation's capital. As an old navy pilot I assure you this is an all hands on deck emergency, and duty dictates I postpone my Friday night debate with Barack Obama at the University of Mississippi. Imagine me in front of all those people thinking I'm implicated in this mess with Bush and company. I can't have that. I need to be in the capital, preaching change.
In my place I'm dispatching future Vice President Sarah Palin to use her eloquence and mastery of issues to carve up Obama.

Rt. 69 woodbridge CT, right after starbucks plaza heading towards Woodbridge - Woodbridge
A large curb/narrow road causes a HUGE bottleneck and traffic nightmare in Woodbridge/New Haven on Rt. 69 (Right by Starbucks Plaza). If the road was widened by at least 1 ft on the right (headed towards new haven) this would solve this ridiculous traffic problem.

2-10 Newton Rd Woodbridge, CT 06525, USA - Woodbridge
On Friday, October 29, 2010 at about 1:45PM, I was driving past the old Fire Department site at the intersection of Newton and Center Roads. I noticed two men were clearing leaves on the site using a high-powered push blower. I was then shocked to see that the men were blowing the leaves and other debris directly into the middle of Newton Road, and in fact directly onto my passing car.
As a town resident, I am appalled that a town property is being maintained in this fashion, with leaves being blown into or across the street. I further don't appreciate my car being throttled with leaves, dirt, and other debris when driving into the town center to conduct my business. This practice should be changed.

CT15 - Enterance 59, Southbound ArchivedNew Haven, CT - Amity
CT15 - Enterance 59, Southbound
This needs to be a yield sign and maybe paint some arrows on the right lane on CT15 directing traffic over to the left to allow oncomers. It SHOULD NOT be a stop sign because of its location. This enterance makes it difficult to get on traffic with a hill just ahead - especially for 4cylinder cars (which I have). From a stop, its nearly impossible to get going fast enough to avoid a collision with oncoming traffic. Thus we have to make sure no one is coming for quite a distance, thus we sit there for a long period of time holding up traffic. This would be better suited as a merge and forcing more cars to pull into the left lane to allow more convienence for oncomers. Lets face it, leaving it up to the decision of the CT people is not a good idea. In general, CT drivers are selfish.

Rt 63 Amity Road At Lucy Street Woodbridge, CT - Woodbridge
someone is going to die at this intersection, every day that passes I believe this more and more. I see 2-3 cars blow through the intersection well after the light has turned red. Yesterday an 18 wheeler didn't even slow down and blew through the light like it was blazing green. One would think the police from Woodbridge or state troopers since it is a state road would at least be visible once in awhile- I travel through the area 6-10 times per day and can't recall in the last 6 months ever seeing an officer.

1672-1692 Litchfield Turnpike Woodbridge, CT 06525, USA - Woodbridge
On Rt 69 south, between Lucy St and the entrance to Rt 15 south, the curb could be moved to create a lane for the cars that want to get on the parkway. This would facilitate traffic flow between the 3 lights.
The timing of the lights appears to have been improved but the traffic still backs up and few cars can advance through the green light. This suggestion would fix this problem.· Fix it! Voted! · Share -

Dumping ArchivedFountain St CT - Woodbridge
A big pile of trash -- insulation, lawn furniture, and all kinds of other junk -- a good truckload's worth -- was dumped on the westbound side of the road between the overpass and the Woodbridge sign -- it was done just in the past few days but I hope it doesn't sit there long, I go by there at least twice a day and it's grossing me out, I hate to think about what a non-local would think going by there and seeing that.
