She Floats Like a Butterfly, Too
Khaliah Ali after weight loss surgery.
Drs. Fielding and Ren hold the gastric band surgical weightloss device that is changing the lives of thousands of obese patients at NYU Medical Center.
Khaliah Ali, daughter of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, says her bout with obesity began in childhood. But the successful plus-size model and fashion designer was determined not to be a heavyweight.
In August 2004 she underwent bariatric surgery at NYU Medical Center, having a silicon, ring-shaped device called a gastric band installed around the top portion of her stomach. As shown here six months later, she's well on her way to championship condition.
Bariatric Surgery Rated First in U.S.
When people try to shed pounds, they tend to focus on the width of their waists. But when bariatric surgeons at NYU Medical Center help the morbidly obese take control of their weight, they are more concerned with the width of their patients' stomach openings. Using a device called a Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band, or gastric band for short, the doctors reduce the size of the opening. By restricting the amount of food that can enter, the gastric band tricks the stomach into feeling full, so the patient eats much less and drops excess weight at a healthy rate.
The gastric band device received Food and Drug Administration approval for use in the United States in 2001. Since then, the NYU Program for Surgical Weight Loss has become a leader in the surgical procedure to install the silicon ring device around the upper portion of patients' stomachs. In a national ranking of major teaching hospitals, The University Healthcare Consortium recently named the NYU program Best Performer in Bariatric Surgery.
TThe program is headed by Christine Ren, Fielding M.D., Professor of Surgery, and George Fielding, M.D., Associate Professor of Surgery, who recently joined NYU from Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. The doctors are the world's most experienced surgeons with the gastric band procedure. Dr. Fielding not only developed the technique that is presently used to implant the gastric band, but is himself a former patient. The deceptively simple-looking gastric band—resembling a piece of calamari in both shape and texture—has transformed the lives of over a thousand NYU patients, among them Kahliah Ali, Muhammad Ali's daughter.
The gastric band procedure, says Dr. Fielding, is quickly replacing the previous standard: gastric bypass, in which the surgeon makes a large incision across the abdomen, then cuts away the stomach and reshapes a piece of it into a small pouch. In the gastric band procedure, the surgeon uses incisions just a few inches across, and the stomach is not cut. The advantage, explains Dr. Ren-Fielding is that the gastric banding procedure is reversible, adjustable, safer, has a shorter recovery period, and does not have the risk of nutritional deficits associated with gastric bypass.
Gastric banding, unlike gastric bypass, is also considered safe for severely obese adolescents. Dr. Fielding is beginning to perform this surgery on overweight teenagers with associated major health problems. Adolescent patients will first undergo assessment by the NYU Child Study Center, and their bariatric care will be performed in collaboration with Evan Nadler, M.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatric Surgery and Director of Minimally Invasive Pediatric Surgery.

Slashdot BETA Discussion
Die Beta, DIE !!! (60 comments)
The beta clearly sucks. If you guys cannot make something that is CLEARLY SUPERIOR to the slashdot we have, then DO NOT FCKIN' CHANGE ANYTHING !
If you want to try something new, justy try to make a new site, advertise it and see the results. If there is no adoption, that probably means IT JUST SUCKS !
The old slashdot is so close to perfection that it is understandable that it is difficult to improve on PERFECTION. And it is too easy to break it.

Peep this! Not only are the artists featured in this show all amazing in their own right, but a bunch also happen to be friends of mine and subsequently the raddest dudes on the planet. The show kicks off at 4pm, Oct. 11 with the film 'Braddock, PA in Context', and moves into what very well may be the last BBQ of the season. 6 o'clock hits off with the art sale, raffle, and general schmoozing. Be sure to buy stuff, as the show is benefitting Transformazium, an arts based resource center. Located at 210 Kent Ave., Brooklyn NY.

R. Kelly hit the Atlanta premiere of 'Think Like A Man Too' looking and most likely smelling like your uncle who keeps a bottle of green rubbing alcohol and a wash cloth at arm's reach while working the grill during family cookouts.
The Pied Pisser made headlines this week after his youngest child come out as transgender. Jaya, who was biologically born a female, revealed that he now identifies as a male and goes by the name Jay.
But while he says that mom Andrea Kelly (who appears on the VH1 reality series 'Hollywood Exes') is being extremely supportive of his decision, the 14-year-old didn't mention if his dad has reached out to show him any encouragement.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Romeo!
Facts about Romeo
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Romeo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Romeo was originally part of our TNR program, hence the ear-tip. Romeo is estimated to be 1.5 years old. Romeo and Juliet are super friendly and loving cats. They love attention, sitting in your lap, and purring! They are often found snuggling together and would ideally be adopted as a pair.
All of our cats and kittens have been fostered in a home environment and are litter box trained, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and have been tested for FIV and FeLV prior to being made available for adoption.
Request an adoption application by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Community Cat Coalition of Edmond
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Romeo, a Edmond Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Edmond, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Edmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Edmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Edmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Edmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Duane (BS '62) and Helen Wilson support TU because they know firsthand how important scholarship funding can be.
When Duane was a student, the generosity of others helped him obtain his chemical engineering degree. "I've always felt deeply appreciative to those who provide scholarships, particularly to support those, like myself, who have a need," he says.
After a successful career as an executive with Conoco (now ConocoPhillips) and today as a consultant, Duane is paying it forward as a member of the TU Board of Trustees. Duane and Helen served as co-chairs (with Chip and Sharon McElroy) of the Engineering and Natural Sciences Expansion portion of the campaign. Helen, a self-confessed "cheerleader" for TU, explains the couple's active support in everything from the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences to the Golden Hurricane Club this way: "TU has made gigantic progress in the last few years, and we need to sustain the momentum."

Determined to arrive to her destination, she climbs up the steep slope, ignoring the surrounding thorns and other invisible dangers. What is her eventual reward? She has reached the peak right on time to feel the calming effect of a most memorable sunset.
This is how I personally perceive teaching to be: its initial joys give way to responsibilities, potential trouble in class and special needs to cater for. But every single time the teacher has the chance to witness the progress her class has made, all efforts are justified and there is a soothing effect on the soul. (more…)

We host a weekly Tweetchat, #collectivechat, every Monday at 8 PM (EST). Our next chat takes place on Monday, November 19th and we'll be discussing Content Curation & Creation!
What exactly is a "Tweetchat"?
Tweetchats, also known as Twitter parties or a Twitter chats, happen when a group of people all tweet about the same topic using a specific tag (#) called a hashtag that allows it to be followed on Twitter. The chats are generally held at the same time each week or some other agreed upon frequency.
Taking Part in A Tweetchat
You must have a Twitter account to take part. You can sign up for free at twitter.com.
Here's a nice write-up on Twitter etiquette. It's a good idea to brush up on this before you take part!
Taking Part: Tools
You can to follow the chat using your timeline on the Twitter.com, but when the chat starts getting involved and gets busy you might not be able to keep up with the conversation, especially the speedy back and forth. Lucky for us all, there are several sites/tools available to help us follow along and take part without getting lost as the conversation speeds up. Just a few include:
If you're already using a Twitter client like Tweetdeck, SproutSocial or Hootsuite, you can easily following along and take part in the chat. Search the hashtag, creating a column or separate window, and all of the tweets using that hashtag should show up in chronological order.

The Type 94 Nambu 8 mm Pistol (Type 94 Handgun, Japanese: 九四式拳銃 Kyūyon-Shiki Kenjū) was a semiautomatic pistol developed by Kijirō Nambu and his associates for the Imperial Japanese Army. The final prototype for the Type 94 was tested and officially adopted by the Japanese Army in late 1934 (Japanese calendar, 2594) after several redesigns.[1] Design for the Type 94 pistol began in 1924 and it entered production after repeated redesign in 1935. Approximately 71,000 pistols were produced before production ended in 1945.
The Type 94 pistol is considered to be poorly designed. The process to disassemble the pistol is considered overly complex and awkward. The pistol could be fired unintentionally before the breech was fully locked if the sear bar on the side of the receiver was jarred loose and the pistol was improperly handled. The quality of the Type 94 pistol degraded during its production history with pistols made in 1945 being crudely manufactured. The Type 94 was popular among Japanese tank and aircraft crews for its smaller and lightweight design.
The Type 94 Nambu pistol was designed by Kojiro Nambu after he retired from the Japanese Army and founded the Nambu Rifle Manufacturing Company.[5] Design for the Type 94 Nambu pistol commenced in 1929 with the goal of reducing the bulk and price of previous Nambu designs.[3] The Imperial Japanese Army felt a smaller pistol of domestic design that could accommodate the standard 8×22mm Nambu cartridge was needed to substitute the larger, heavier, and only official military pistol, the Type 14 Nambu.[5] The demand for officer's handguns had increased as a result of Japan's invasion of Manchuria during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[5] A new design was also wanted by the Japanese Army to include a magazine safety, to prevent unintentional discharges during cleaning which was a considered a serious problem among Japanese personnel.[5] Naming of the Type 94 pistol reflects the change in Japanese nomenclature with the 94 reckoning back to the mythical foundation of Japan in 660 BC therefore year 2594 instead of the traditional emperor reign period used to name the Type 26 revolver or Type 14 Nambu pistol.[6] The final prototype for the Type 94 was officially adopted by the Japanese Army in late 1934 after several redesigns.[1] Production began under the supervision of the Nagoya Army Arsenal at the Nambu Rifle Manufacturing Company and later its successor, Chuo Kogyo Company, Ltd.[1] An estimated 71,000 pistols were produced for the military but the exact quantity is unknown because of the production of unserialized pistols and undated pistols.[1] During World War II the pistol became a preferred weapon for tank crews and paratroopers who required a smaller, more convenient pistol.[5] The Type 94 was never officially adopted by the Imperial Japanese Navy but was available to officers through the Japanese officer union.[1]
The Type 94 pistol is recoil operated, utilizing a separate block that floats between two lugs under the chamber of the barrel.[1] A sturdier hammer firing mechanism was developed and included in the Type 94 to replace the poor striker on the Type 14 Nambu.[6] The firing pin is considered inherently weak and is prone to breakage because of a recess cut provided for the crossbolt.[1] The magazine catch protrudes far enough to occasionally disengage when the pistol is placed on its left side on a hard surface.[1] The magazine could also disengage if squeezed into or jarred in a holster.[1] The safety lever is located on the left rear of the frame and has the kanji for fire and safe stamped onto the frame.[1] The grip is smaller than other Japanese pistols and is finished with smooth wood[7] but was considered more comfortable to use by men with smaller hands.[8] The magazine holds a maximum of six rounds because of the smaller grip[6] and it is considered difficult to reload the weapon, with pressure from the bolt holding it inside the pistol.[1] The front blade sight on the muzzle of the Type 94 pistol and the rear fixed V were inaccurately positioned making them useless when the weapon is being aimed.[4]
Final production[edit]
The quality of Type 94 Nambu pistols decreased towards the end of World War II as the Japanese faced bombing raids from allied forces and material shortages increased.[9] This drastic change in quality from late March 1945, onwards with all quality standards appearing to disappear towards the end of June 1945.[10] The smooth wooden finished grip was replaces by a bakelite checkered pattern.[7] Many pistols were not serialized and no pistols have been reported that bear July 1945 manufacture date.[10] Only four unserialized and undated pistols are known to exist and include mismatch parts with no inspection marks, lanyard loops, and extractors.[11] A small number of pistols made during the final production stages include earlier production dates and appear to have been salvaged from previously discarded pistols that had minor or cosmetic defects.[11]
Disassembly of the Type 94 Nambu pistol is considered difficult and can lead to damage to the pistol if done carelessly.[2] After clearing the Type 94, the operator must draw the slide against the magazine follower to hold the bolt to the rear of the pistol.[2] This will allow the crossbolt to be released after the firing pin is depressed.[2] Removal of the crossbolt without depressing the firing pin will damage both the firing pin and the crossbolt.[12] Removing the crossbolt is further complicated as the disassemblers hands are both holding the pistol and depressing the firing pin.[12]
Unintentional firing[edit]
The poor design of the breech allowed the Type 94 Nambu to be fired unintentionally.[3] The sear bar on the side of the pistol could be jarred loose during engagement if the pistol was cocked and handled carelessly.[6] The forward end of the sear bar would need to be depressed approximate 2mm to cause the weapon to fire.[5] The ability to fire the Type 94 without pulling the trigger gave rise to war stories of Japanese soldiers surrendering, only to fire the pistol, earning the pistol monikers such as the "suicide special" and the "surrender pistol".[5] These stories are widely discredited because of the difficulty to fire the weapon by squeezing the sear bar.[5] If the safety is engaged on the Type 94 it is impossible for the weapon to discharge unintentionally.[1]
Holsters for the Type 94 pistol were generally made from either pigskin or cowhide leather and ranged in color from tan to dark reddish brown.[13] Holsters faced the same degradation in quality as the Type 94 pistol.[13] As supplies of leather were exhausted in Japan, holsters manufactured in 1944 became fabricated from olive drab fabric.[13] The Type 94 pistol holster is distinguishable from other Japanese holsters having a pointed closure flap and a vertically positioned magazine pouch.[14] The pouch tow has a narrow extension to accommodate a cleaning rod.[13] The majority of holsters were made in civilian owned tanneries with some ink stamped with arsenal and inspection marks.[15] A belt loop and two shoulder strap "D" rings are provided on the rear of the holster and are made from brass, galvanized steel, or nickel plating.[13]

Although it's still summer, it's never too late to start thinking about installing a fireplace, especially when the weather is warm and you may have some extra time to do it! Fireplaces do much more than just heat your house. A focal point for gatherings of family and friends, a fireplace draws guests within its circle. Your fireplace takes center stage in your home by its design and location. It can express your style of living, whether formal or casual.
In the widening search for alternatives to scarce and expensive fuels in home heating, a growing number of homeowners are discovering the advantages of heating with a fireplace. Fireplaces, designed for efficiency and used correctly, can spread their warmth over your home.
Technically, fireplaces heat in two different ways, radiation and convection. The type of heater you have determines its heating effectiveness. Radiation is the direct transmission of energy in the form of infrared rays; these rays heat objects they strike, although they don't contribute to heating the air space in between. Convection is the movement of heat through air or fluids. When the air is heated, it rises, setting up convection currents that circulate the air.
The latest introduction is the EcoSmart Fire innovation. It is an environmentally friendly open fireplace. The EcoSmart Fire is flueless and does not require any installation or utility connection for fuel supply, with makes it ideal for just about any architectural environment, such as highrise buildings. It is fueled by renewable modern energy and denatured ethanol, burns clean and is virtually maintenance free. I really like this system, as it features remarkable design flexibility, versatility and choice.

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

Speaking at Conference of Presidents event, American UN envoy Rice says
Obama administration committed to oppose efforts to 'chip away at
Israela**s legitimacy.'
By Natasha Mozgovaya
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice denounced the treatment
Israel receives in the United Nations on Thursday, adding that American
support of Israel's security was an "essential truth."
Speaking at the annual reception of the Conference of Presidents Fund in
New York, Rice said that the treatment Israel receives at the UN was
a**obsessive, ugly, bad for the United Nations and bad for peace.a**
The ambassador stressed that the Obama administration was commitment to
oppose all efforts to a**chip away at Israela**s legitimacy,a** adding
that U.S. commitment to Israela**s peace and security was an a**essential
truth that will never change.a**
The American official said U.S. President Barak Obama a**has been clear
all along that our special relationship with Israel is deeply rooted in
our common interests and our common values,a** adding that these common
interests and values were the reason the U.S. has increased its financing
of Israela**s military capabilities to record levels.
Other speakers at the Conference of Presidents event were Israeli
Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor and Consul General of Israel in New York
Ido Aharoni.
At the event, Rice received a National Service Award from on behalf of the
Conference of Presidents Fund for her service at the UN, particularly her
opposition to the Durban III conference as well as her opposition to a
unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood.
While the event seemed to imply that the Obama administration had been
supportive of Israel, a full page ad by the Emergency Committee for Israel
(ECI), published in such leading newspapers such as the New York Times,
the Miami Herald, and Variety, asked: "Why does the Obama administration
treat Israel like a punching bag?"
Speaking of the ad, the ECI's chair Bill Kristol said that a**the Obama
administration has been using Israel as a punching bag. The pro-Israel
wing of the pro-Israel community is punching back."
Another story causing a storm amid the U.S. Jewish voting public was
stirred by the New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who in his column
earlier this week titled "Newt, Mitt, Bibi and Vladimir" attacked Gingrich
for calling the Palestinians "invented people," accusing him of pandering
to Israel.
However it was Friedman's attack against Netanyahu that garnered the
attention, as the veteran columnist wrote: "I sure hope that Israela**s
Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation
he got in Congress this year was not for his politics."
An Israeli official told "Haaretz" that "Friedman has crossed a line that
true friends of Israel should never allow themselves to cross and
inadvertently encouraged anti-Semitism."

Can I use black colorant sparingly to make a reasonable gray? Also, I hear about color washes over white grout. Does one just mix a little colorant in water and brush it over? |

You should make a decent gray with black colorant. The second question..it depends on how deep you want your color. Usually I end up with mostly paint and wet it enough so that it spreads easily, but if you want a lessi ntense color ,you can add more water |
Thanks, Shirty. I didn't even know it was paint or water based. It looked like it might be a powder. Good info, and I appreciate it. |
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Wed, Mar 11, 09 at 1:37
I've done a color wash over grout...just using my craft paints. And have also added it to the grout. Either works for me. |
I've used it too, Calamity, but have been told it will fade outside and that it deteriorates the grout over time. Have you found that? Does anyone know if I can use black to make a suitable gray for grouting if I'm mixing it with white thinset? |
I have used acrylic paints in grout with success and I have used black to make a grey, sparingly. |
are you using a dry colorant daisy? If thats the case, then yes like Shrty said, it can be added to any white concretious product like grout, thinset or mortar and you can make various shades of grey. It will be lighter when dry compared to when you mix it. My first BB grout was colored with acrylic paint added to the mix and it did fail within a year. I cannot say it was due to the paint but I have no explanations for it. |
Hmmm, I'll have to see if it was you that responded to me on the other forum or whether someone else had a problem with groutafter adding acrylic paint. I'll let you know. Maybe that would answer your question about your fail. I am using liquid colorant and I'd use just a touch. I just wondered if people do that rather than also buying gray grout. This black is so intense it'll last forever even if I also use it for gray. |
Yeah then I think you should be just fine. With using paint, it takes a whole lot to get the colors deep and there's always been concern with too much it might affect the chemistry of concrete curing. FYI, I only ever buy white and black grouts and make all my own colors from those. Adding powdered colorant to black grout can make some great saturated tones and gets you out of the pastel ranges. for instance, here is plum added to black and this has green added to black |
Nice! Thanks for those pictures of the grout using blacks and colors. I wouldn't have thought of that, and I love the result. Do you use powdered colorants? Do you ever still use acrylics? |
Yes I try to have all the colorants on hand and will ocassionally add a bit of acrylics to adjust colors. Like yellow paint with terra cotta colorants to get a better orange. Or red paint with brick red colorant to get a stronger looking red. then I still like color washes too as in the case of my stairs which I grout in white to start with. Then used watered down paints over all the matching colors. lots of options to play around with and I only ever have 2 cartons of groutsitting on my shelf. |
NT. "I only ever have 2 cartons of groutsitting on my shelf". Good point and reason for using powered colorants! Thanks! |

Two genetic possibilities for a fertilized egg. If the two sex cells (gametes) that fuse during fertilization carry the same form of a gene for a specific trait, the organism is said to be a homozygote for that trait. If the gametes carry differing forms of the gene, the result is a heterozygote. Because genes may be either dominant or recessive (see dominance and recessiveness), the genetic composition (genotype) of an organism cannot always be determined by the organism's physical appearance (phenotype).

I didn't want to write this article. When I first heard about While the Men Watch, CBC's new alternate audio feed that claims to "look at the game from a woman's perspective", my first thought was, Just ignore it. Remind people that what these women do doesn't stand for all women and then just never fucking mention it again. If you're a woman who writes and you don't want to end up writing about being a woman all the damn time, the best course of action is usually to ignore pink-ghetto topics. They attract trolls who bait you with silly sexist clichés and start long, winding, unwinnable arguments with men who feel like modern society is somehow wronging them. They put you in the awkward situation of either standing up for women's right to be girly and being labeled shallow, or critiquing cultural notions of girlishness and being labeled humorless. The only way to win this game is not to play. So mostly I don't play.
But as I listened to The Current yesterday morning, which featured a teach-the-controversy piece on While the Men Watch, I realized that this is going to affect me whether I want it to or not. Over the course of this program, it became clear that, as much as the CBC and the hosts themselves are trying to evade criticism by hiding behind the idea that this is just lighthearted fun with no implications whatsoever for the larger role of women in sports media, they actually have some rather grandiose ideas about what the program is achieving. The intro explicitly describes it as "commentary for women" and "from a woman's perspective." Lena Sutherland described WTMW as "mak[ing] people think" and "breaking new ground", talking about how she and her co-host were doing something that's "never been done before". Cassie Campbell-Pascal suggested that "this is helping push women forward to a certain degree," while Sami Jo Small was even more laudatory: "I see it as a positive: there's more women involved in the sports world."
Now, when WTMW was just two women doing their thing on their blog, expressing their own personal experience of the game in the vast marketplace of people-with-blog-ideas, that was wonderful. I fully support their right to have their blog and their viewpoint. I personally don't care for it, I won't consume it, but whatever: it doesn't affect me just because these people happen to also have vaginas. But when the CBC takes this viewpoint and gives it a national media platform, when it explicitly characterizes it as representing women's perspectives, when it is described as original and groundbreaking, when it gets talked about in the quasi-feminist language of helping women, then it becomes my problem. Because now the biggest major television outlet in this country, the only outlet that is broadcasting the Stanley Cup Final, is taking the Lena and Jules perspective and putting it on huge high platform with a giant sign that says THIS IS FOR WOMEN. Being as how it's pretty much the only sign that explicitly mentions women in the hockey media, it is going to affect how people in hockey view women. It is going to affect, indirectly but emphatically, how some people view me.
It's going to provide fodder for people who already view me that way. On her interview on The Current, Lena seemed perversely proud about how she doesn't actually understand hockey, talking flippantly about how she can't analyze a power play. On their first broadcast, Jules was pleased to tell the audience that she doesn't even really watch hockey. This ignorance and indifference is being defined as a woman's perspective, in stark contrast to male commentators who are invariably promoted as experts. I've had people, quite literally, respond to my articles by saying they won't read them because everyone knows women don't understand sports. Yes, those people are idiots, but ultimately they're only buying a stereotype that is widely sold throughout the culture, and is now being given the CBC stamp of approval.
While the Men Watch participates in an astounding collection of stereotypes about women. Women don't understand sports. Women don't care about sports. If women watch sports, they only do so because a man pushes it on them. Women are interested in fashion, cleaning, shopping, and men. The show is essentially the traditional four Fs of pink ghetto journalism- food, family, fashion, and furniture- tangentially tied in to hockey. It is Cosmo with a game in the background.
To understand why this show is so dispiriting and depressing for a certain segment of female fans, you have to understand the role that sports play in many of our lives. For all the substantial progress of feminism, the larger culture is still awash in portrayals of women that hew closely to the long-standing stereotypes, that push us to think about ourselves in terms of our attractiveness, our sexual appeal, our fashion sense, our youth, etc etc. These issues intrude, one way or another, into almost every facet of life- into our work and the beers after, into our family life and our relationships, into our education. There is always someone critiquing our bodies or our style. There is always someone trying to sell us a miracle skin cream or a pair of shoes or fucking yogurt or whatever on the grounds that it will make us more acceptably and attractively feminine. Now, we're adults and we can handle it, but sometimes, frankly, the cultural stereotypes of heteronormative femininity are a pain in the ass. Sometimes one gets pretty fucking tired of being appreciated, shamed, warned, and appealed to 'as a woman'.
Women have always used sports to escape some of the strictures of gender roles and experiment with redefinitions of womanhood and female identity. In playing sports- especially a gear-intensive, aggressive team sport like hockey- women participate in a zone where the normal standards don't apply for a while, where it's culturally acceptable to be sweaty and stinky and flushed, where nobody cares whether you're wearing make-up and nobody notices how long it's been since you shaved your legs. Hockey is where it's always socially licit to be competitive, aggressive, and physical, where we can experience our bodies in terms of what they can do rather than what they look like. It's one of the few major arenas of the social world where, historically, the stereotypes of about women have been less powerful and less influential. Because of that, for many women playing hockey has feminist overtones of empowerment and liberation. At the very least, it can be a welcome haven for females during the moments in life when they don't want to be feminine.
For female fans, too, sports can be a site of less-gendered social experience. Say I go to a pub by myself to have a drink and hang out. On a regular night, I get inundated with come-ons and pick-up attempts, and should I say that I'm really not interested in hooking up, I invariably hear something to the effect that it's inconceivable that a single woman would go to a bar without looking for sex. But if I go when there's a game on, I spend the evening talking stats and strategies and making Tortorella jokes, chatting with the other fans of both genders, and generally go all night without getting one single sleazy line. For many of the so-called serious female fans, watching the game is one of the best social avenues for meeting people and hanging out in a relatively ungendered way. Being into sports allows us to be guys, not in the sense of men, but in the sense of participants in a laid-back, friendly, easygoing social milieu that doesn't feel defined by gender lines. Many female fans explicitly resist the category 'female fans', because for us part of what is great about being a fan is the sense that female or male doesn't matter so much. The gender-neutral experiences we have around the game are precious exactly because gender can be such an intrusive category in other parts of life.
So when the CBC decides to throw money at a program that believes it's 'breaking new ground' by bringing the most cliched, generic, traditional gender ideologies into sports… that's not exactly a thrilling idea. Oh goody, finally, a sports program that gives me the opportunity to talk about important issues like getting grass stains out of pants and how to please my man in bed. Thank fucking God, because, as a woman, I really do not have enough opportunities to hear about these topics already. It's so sadly neglected, the question of which male celebrity you'd want to be your boyfriend, it absolutely is not exactly the same thing that the culture has been throwing at me since I was eight years old.
"Oh," but they say, "it's not you we're trying to appeal to, it's not you serious female fans we care about. It's the casual fans, it's the girly girls who don't like sports that we want to reach out to." I suppose this excuse is meant to be comforting to us, somehow- they're not calling us superficial, they just chose to use our gender as a code word for superficiality and appeal to the superficial members of our gender instead of us. So silly of us to feel a bit insulted, yes?
No. There is an enormous constituency of hockey-mad females all over Canada, but when the CBC decided to reach out to women, it wasn't us they thought of. It wasn't the girls on the rinks and in the sports bars they wanted to talk to, it wasn't the women who are passionate and obsessive and fanatical about hockey, who spend tremendous money, time, and energy on this game. Nope, it was the other women, the ones who don't know the game and don't give a fuck. Those are the women the CBC is interested in. While the Men Watch is to serious female hockey fans what the glow puck was to serious American hockey fans- an attempt to pander to the desires of those who don't care about hockey rather than those who do, a sign that the network cares more about appealing to the lowest common denominator of the indifferent rather than the devoted core fan base. So yeah, if you are a member of that core fan base, it is pretty insulting.
We have a catch-22 here: for the 'serious' female sports fan, the male commentary is supposed to be enough, so anything that includes female as an explicit category has to be somehow lesser. Men get to be experts, women get to be eye candy and window dressing. We can either be ignored because of our gender or stereotyped because of it, and maybe, if we're really really lucky, grudgingly respected despite it. But we're always on the margins, not quite a big enough percentage of women, not quite a big enough percentage of fans. We exist in a demographic no-man's land.
This sounds like complaining, doesn't it? This sounds like whining, or perhaps even envy. Those ladies got a parade, why don't we get a parade too? she cried, stamping her foot angrily.
Fuck it, though, I'm tired of being quiet and hoping silently that the powers that be see fit to advance more women to the upper echelons of sports commentary. If they're going to advance proudly ignorant women to the national stage, then hell yes, I am going to complain that they're not advancing knowledgeable women whose hockey ideas are ten times more deserving of being heard. Where is our fucking parade, CBC? TSN? Globe and Mail? HUH? Women have been covering sports on the local level for many, many years now, women have written their way to prominence on the internet, but somehow they are still almost totally invisible in the national media. As men work their way up the food chain, getting ever bigger and better gigs, women tend stay where they are. It was six years ago when Cassie Campbell first lucked her way into color commentary on the CBC and she's still the only woman to do color, and even she has trouble getting the opportunity to do it often. I have never seen a woman sitting at the far right of a long desk, being asked her opinion about where Luongo would be a good fit or whether Ovechkin should get more ice time. I have never seen a woman, other than Ms. Campbell, be presented as an expert voice in televised hockey.
Outlets will say, oh, we can't find any. We can't find any knowledgeable hockey women who are up to the exalted standards of our panel discussions. Bullshit. This is a field where the standard for intelligence is Mike Milbury and the standard for articulateness is PJ Stock. There are women who can meet those standards. If you can't find them, you're not looking. Glorious Leader Bourne has been running this site for less than a year and he found three female writers, whose work ranges from the silly to serious, impassioned to impartial, who are comfortable talking about the relative attractiveness of playoff beards AND the relative merits of goaltending styles. This is one site and it has women who can look at the game intelligently through the lenses of science, history, culture, and personal experience. I have no sympathy for editors and producers who complain that smart female hockey analysts are like fucking unicorns.
That's the excruciating thing, the thing that makes the elevation of While the Men Watch to the national spotlight so acutely painful: it would be so easy to have done it the right way. The CBC wants an alternate feed for casual fans? One that brings a lighter, sexier, more playful tone to the game? Great. Find people who can bring that fun, irreverent perspective and also have the knowledge to back it up, who could talk about the hottness of players and explain a little bit about power play strategy while they're doing it. It doesn't have to be an either/or. Light doesn't have to mean ignorant. And, if you're aim is to turn non-fans into fans, wouldn't light and passionate about hockey be a better marketing strategy than light and contemptuous of hockey? Wouldn't it have been better for everyone to reach out to non-fans through the voices of people who love the game?
What's done is done. The CBC, they paid their money and made their choice and there's no undoing it now. Up in some high office somewhere, someone is looking at reports of all the media coverage this show has gotten and fairly coming in his or her pants with joy. The sponsors, I'm sure, could not be more delighted. In a way, by writing this, by participating in the conversation, I am contributing in some small way to the certainty of its survival.
So I'm not going to ask the CBC to take it down. Rather, I have a humbler request. Dear CBC: don't lie to me. Keep up your party line, if that's what you have to do to feel good about this. Say it's fun, it's light, it's silly. Say it's just a gag and it's making a ton of controversy and controversy means ratings and it's all good for business. Say you honestly don't give a shit whether you perpetuate gender stereotypes or feed into already existing negative views of female sports fans so long as it gets ratings. But stop lying. Stop patronizing me. Stop telling the world that this is groundbreaking or thought-provoking or different. Don't wrap this show in reductionist gender imagery like fucking Christmas lights and then tell me it's not supposed to represent female fans. Don't tell me that giving hockey-broadcasting jobs to ignorant women with no training who didn't pay any dues in the business and can't even be bothered to actually learn about the game in front of them is somehow helping intelligent, passionate women make progress in the hockey media. Don't tell me you're honoring the female perspective by dismissing the women who have loved watching your broadcasts for decades in favor of those who only watch because their man does. Don't tell me you respect serious female fans. If you did, you'd have found some.
If you haven't read Julie Veilleux's excellent, piece by piece takedown of the gender ideologies of WTMW, do so immediately. I am indebted to her for both that article and her performance on The Current, which inspired this post.

After a night of brutal wiping over and over in phase 3, we were on a perfect run - all DPS were up after 2nd transition, we were handling Vile Spirits, until suddenly we lost a healer in FM. That started a chain of losses and very quickly, we were down to me tanking, a holy priest and a shaman just as he started to cast Vile Spirits.
He was down to 12% when all the spirits swarmed and killed the other two as he landed a mark me. I hit my cool-downs and wings, kept wailing on him, but it looked like another close call. The Priest in Angel form topped me off and kept me alive for a few seconds but then I suddenly bit it even though I had max health.
I had no idea what happened. I dejectedly scrolled through the log when vent broke out into nerdscreams. Apparently DoTs had pushed him over 10% and what killed was Fury. And I didn't even realize it.

However, my frustration with Arenas, is that I think there's a limit to how far skill can take you - in 2s especially, which is what I play in, I have never been able to break the low/mid barrier of the 1500/1600 ratings because at that point the teams I play (last season Ret Paly/Resto Shammy and this season Ret/Holy paladins) just aren't competitive against the Disc + Rogue/Warrior/Mage teams, which are all I see at that point forward. Just about any other team we have a 75% win ratio on, and we generally end the week at a 50/50 win loss ration with our rating barely moving. Frustrating.
We do well against non-optimal team at that point but because I want to Arena on my main character we can't really into higher brackets. I'm not someone who'll swap characters to PvP because that's the ideal comp for this season or whatever.
Anyway - point being, there's a limit to how far competitiveness will take us. I love Arenas though and I enjoyed the 2v2 almost-a-duel feel but I think next season it's time to move on to 3s or 5s. Too many counters in 2s.

Back in January, Lenny Dykstra was accused of sexually harassing his housekeeper, who claimed that LD forced her to "give him oral sex on Saturdays." At the time, Dykstra scoffed at the allegations, telling a reporter that he was the victim of extortion and "If she was assaulted on Saturdays, I'm a ballerina dancer on Sundays." Charges were never filed (prosecutors cited a lack of evidence), which Nails apparently took as a sign that this kind of interaction with your cleaning lady is not in fact frowned upon and continued spending his weekends dancing Swan Lake on Sundays after dropping trou in various maids' faces on Saturdays.
Lenny Dykstra has been charged with indecent exposure for allegedly exposing himself to women responding to his ads on Craigslist. The newest charges stem from multiple reported incidents over three years, the attorney's office said. There was one report from 2009, three in 2010 and reports from February and April of this year. In each incident, the release said, Dykstra allegedly placed an ad on Craigslist requesting personal assistant or housekeeping services. The release said that when the women met Dykstra, he allegedly informed the women the job required them to give a massage, and allegedly exposed himself to them. According to a release from the Los Angeles City Attorney's office, Dykstra was charged with two counts and could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count.
If anyone's got some cash on hand, he's good for it.

I hear Arnold's last maid is looking for a new gig but, it will have to pay well seeing as now she is getting some income from her ex boss but, she is more than willing to catch a few new "tadpoles" from any rich donor.

Notes: Red miso paste is much darker in color and heartier in flavor than the more familiar white variety. Look for it in natural-foods stores; if you can't find it, use all white miso instead. PREP AND COOK TIME: About 30 minutes.
Sunset APRIL 2005
1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add fennel, onion, and ginger. Stir often until fennel is tender when pierced, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 cups broth.
2. Pour mixture into a blender and add miso. Whirl until as smooth as you like. Return to pan and add remaining 4 cups broth. Stir often over medium-low heat until hot. Ladle into bowls, then add chives.

Despite its small size my atemoya was able to bring to completion its first fruit. I picked it a few days back when still firm and let it ripe on the counter for a couple of days until soft. I was truly impressed with the flabor. Flesh was velvety and sweet and the aroma fairly close to Cherimoya which I fell in love with during a trip to Peru. This is a Gefner from Excalibur. |

VinceSFL, are the pineapple scraps to attract small flying things to help with pollination, or some other reason? Is that a common practice with the Atemoya, or your own experiment? My Gefner is starting to flower and am also looking for pollination advantages. Thanks. |
DM, I read elsewhere on the forums that it worked for a Florida grower trying to pollinate their guanabana tree. That is another annona that is notoriously difficult to pollinate naturally. I figure it is the same principle. I have noticed a lot of flies around the blossoms as well as beetles. It is hard to catch the flowers at theExact right moment. My tree is relatively young, only 2&1/2 yrs in the ground. It is not that big yet, so I'm trying to get all the help I can. |

Greetings. Thanks to all for replies to my previous posts. Granite now installed, and looks great. Next phase will be the appliances then the backslash. We will be getting a travertine tile with mosaic border. My installer (same as the granite fabricator) took out (better reference would be ripped out) my old tile backsplash. This left the Sheetrock a bloody mess in many places and unusable. (photo attached). My installer mentioned using a 1/4" backer for the new tile. I see there is a product called Hardiboard. My question is, will properly mounted 1/4" Hardiboard, provide enough support for my travertine tile backsplash and border. Only other options would be for me to repair the existing gypsum as best as possible, or replacing it entirely, something I do not want to have done with the new granite in place. You can see a few areas that I "spackled" in. And as always your responses are very much appreciated. |

Rip out all of that mess and use 1/2" backerboard. It's the same depth as the drywall, and provides a much superior flatter surface. It's not really required for a backsplash install like in a shower or other wet area, but it's so MUCH better than the thousands of holes drywall that you have that there is no point in trying to salvage that patchwork. |
Question is to save to labor in ripping out that drywall can I install a 1/4 backer OVER the crappy drywall and achieve a similar flat and stable surface, albeit a bit thicker than replacing ? |
The granite looks nicely cut and installed - I'm surprised a competent contractor would suggest this. It would be less work for him but you're not going to love the result. Your trav tile is going to have depth as well. If you build up your bs by adding 1/4" board over this drywall you'll end up losing 1/2" of counter depth. You'll also need a border to transition from your mosaic to the wall. Removing the drywall above the granite will be relatively quick, inexpensive, easy (a little messy) and will not impact upon the granite at all. I agree with Holly - it's the best option. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 15:05
If your drywall is still in tact and is only gouged, you can just repair it with drywall mud. If the drywall is broken or has holes clear through, it's best to remove it rather than building it up with additional backerboard. Otherwise, in addition to the problems mentioned above, you will have issues with the thickness on the ends of the installation where your trim goes. |
This post was edited by jellytoast on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 16:41
Thanks to all for the excellent responses. I will likely remove and replace with green drywall. I have some experience with drywall installation big have a question. Other blogs mention that after the drywall is replaced there is an inherent weakness between studs as the attachment to the drywall above and below is no longer present. They mention installing cross studs to secure the drywall top and bottom. This now add much more work. Thoughts ?? |

My DH would suggest adding some horizontal nailing between the studs. You wouldn't want the wall flexing. It wouldn't be a big deal to toenail in some nailing. |
What is your "DH" may I ask? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 19:35
You're trying to overly complicate things. Cement board will be much stiffer, and you wouldn't really need the blocking if you used it. |
Actually I'm trying to make things as easy as possible for myself. If that involves using something like Hardie backing board, and not having to use any cross bracing behind it. That then may be my best bet. At this point, I would presume I would need one half-inch hardie board. I have not used that product before and I'm curious on how difficult it will be for me to cut out the electrical outlets |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 23:55
It's easy to cut the outlets with a Makita grinder and a diamond blade. You can have someone hold a vacuum hose close to the saw to capture the dust as you cut, or just use a wet sponge to drip some water onto the blade as you cut. To cut the pieces to length, you can use a saw or score and snap. |

There has been a major advancement in national rape reporting and classification. Important changes have been made to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report which redefines rape.
Previously, "Forcible rape" had been defined by the UCR SRS as "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will." That definition, unchanged since 1927, was outdated and narrow. It only included forcible male penile penetration of a female vagina."
The new definition, "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." provides the flexibility to classify someone as a victim regardless of gender and accounts for rape that occurs while individuals are incapacitated, which includes rapes that occur without physical force.
One of the major reasons that these changes were made was because of the efforts of sexual assault advocates and their public campaigns. These changes allow for more accurate reporting and tracking of rape on a national level.

Just another 'unmanly' sense of warfare - technology only follows the psychological imperatives of a people - how one fights war, and istitutes peace, is what determines a Peoples worth.
Tyndall AFB, Fla:
Not all of the jets that use the runways of Tyndall Air Force Base need a pilot. A handful of older jets with advanced drone technology can take off and land without the pilot leaving the ground. That's because several Vietnam-era F-4 fighter jets have been retrofitted with 1.2 million dollar systems that allow them to be used as flying targets.
The 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron, part of Tyndall's 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group, operates the drone program. Lt. Col. Gregory Blount, their Director of Operations, said at first it's hard to switch from pilot to drone controller.
"It's a little more complicated than your standard remote control aircraft," Blount said of the F-4.
"So we do a lot of training to maintain their proficiency to do that."
Pilots are needed only when training missions are flown, to keep an eye on the controls without touching them. Blount said it was an "interesting" feeling as a pilot to be without control of his plane for an entire flight.
"You're only a millisecond away from taking control, so that's a little more comforting," Blount said.
"We have a system in the jet where we can disengage the remote control and take it over and fly it ourselves if we need to."
The F-4s, called QF-4s as drones, are used when a weapons system needs to be tested using a direct hit on a real target. They are only used in target ranges over the Gulf that have been cleared by earlier flights. And if anything goes wrong, the jets can be quickly destroyed in mid-flight. Then once all of them are gone, new planes will come in.
"The ability to have a newer and more maneuverable, more capable aircraft is out there," Blount said.
