5,000 square feet of indoor rock walls outfitted for top-rope belaying and bouldering entertain guests of all experience levels at Maine Rock Gym, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2014. Suitable for ages four and older, visitors can partner up to climb meandering problems across varying angles and overhangs. Indoor, onsite clinics instruct climbers at introductory or advanced levels, and guides lead outdoor excursions to Maine's granite cliffs and New Hampshire's White Mountains.
Opening in December 2014, Evo Rock Gym will be decked in over 16,000 square feet of climbing space on its 42-foot-high walls, with a large top-out bouldering area. A separate climbing area for kids will also be tucked away in the facility, along with rooms to host birthday parties for young revelers. In addition to an aerial silk yoga room and cardio machines, visitor amenities will also include changing rooms, showers, and lockers on-site.
High above the Atlantic's lapping waves, helmeted figures scale vertical rock walls. Undaunted, they surmount challenging obstacles and overhangs, building anchors and belaying while learning technical skills from a beginning level. They feel safe with the knowledge that they're being overseen by American Mountain Guide Association or Professional Climbing Instructors Association-accredited climbers. Director Jon Tierney––who also boasts an international guiding license from the IFMGA––leads Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School's faculty of experienced guides as they usher first-time and experienced explorers up majestic rock faces, snow-covered cliffs, and frozen waterfalls. Company guides frequently showcase their comfort in varied terrain as well, having applied their climbing skills on film sets to set up safety rigging for Shutter Island.
Guides provide mentorship during multi-day mountaineering trips to distant mountains, and lead day trips to share pivotal climbing skills that help students scale a range of icy and rocky conditions. In an array of advanced or basic classes, they instruct pupils on principles of anchoring, top roping, belaying, and sport or lead climbing—imbuing them with the skills to scale mountainsides or be the first to reach the top of a wedding cake. Instructors also teach students mid-climb rescues, such as how to deal with medical issues and make improvised ascents, or metamorphosize into an instructor.
Bear Essentials Fitness wants its members to reach their fitness goals with a minimum of fuss. This 24-hour gym—which is decorated with indoor imitation grass to look like a sports field, has strength-training equipment, and has heavy weight bags hanging from the ceiling—manages to project an atmosphere of "let's do this" while still being a laid-back place to work out. Certified personal trainers and owners Justin and Nate Warren are on hand to help clients with their exercises and teach small group classes.
When registered yoga teacher Carissa Ciuca discovered the ancient art, she was searching for a physical activity that would free her from the restraints of her daily routine. She found that the mental and spiritual breakthroughs it inspired were what truly liberated her and helped to center her life. After training under Seane Corn—an internationally celebrated yoga teacher—among others, she realized her dream of opening her own yoga studio, then closing it once in a while so she could go home and sleep. Now, Carissa and her large, highly trained team of registered instructors strive to create a sanctuary where students of all abilities can achieve individual growth, celebrate community, and foster self-awareness.
The staff helps students unite mind, body, and spirit through the flows and postures of Vinyasa, gentle yin, and postnatal classes. They created this curriculum to help students let yoga's lessons stir change in their current lives and not in their past, for which time travel yoga is notorious. When they are not immersed in their own practice, these motivating instructors empower students to reshape their lives with a comprehensive teacher certification program, which emphasizes the Vinyasa style.
At Lifestyle Fitness Center, the professional fitness team fosters svelter silhouettes and stronger bodies in a 20,000-square-foot facility brimming with Nautilus, Life Fitness, and Cybex exercise equipment. More than 80 cardio machines test every sinew and bifurcated hoof while the fleet of treadmills lights up glistening faces with personal 15-inch LCD TVs attached to each machine. Enthusiastic instructors lead dancercizers in cardio-intensive Zumba classes, help yogis of all levels twist torsos during yoga classes, and motivate students through an array of aerobics classes designed to roast calories. Exercisers can also enter the 2,500-square-foot cardio theater room for stationary cycling amid audio and video stimulation or recharge with free wireless Internet at the juice bar. The adult-supervised childcare room, with toys and beanbag chairs, allows parents to focus on their workout or to finally get some alone time with the Legos.
Strength. Grace. Flexibility. These are words most often associated with ballet, but they can also be seamlessly applied to the art of pole dancing. At the Best Shape of Your Life private studio, instructors whip ladies of all sizes into shape through body-toning and confidence-enhancing pole-dancing techniques. As students shimmy up poles and perform aerial tricks, they work toward slimmer physiques, toned muscles, and increased flexibility. When not conducting classes, the staff opens their studio for private parties, bridal parties, and tightly knit juries, allowing friends to gather over drinks and pole-dancing instruction.

I am an autocad and ESRI user who is trying to better intergrate the functions with Map 3d. I am having problems with drawing units when connecting to GIS data. I live in TN, so I have set the coorinate system to TN NAD 83, Feet. When I connect in a NAIP aerial, it displays properly. When I measure anything, however, the distances are off by a factor of about 1/3. That is, something that is supposed to be 18' is measuring 6'. I have played with the units, but can't seem to come up with an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
metric? 3.281 feet = 1 meter
That thought did cross my mind. I have played with the different units coordinate systems, and nothing changes. Here is the only pertinent information from the USDA image metadata:
Grid_Coordinate_System_Name: Universal Transverse Mercator
UTM_Zone_Number: 17
Scale_Factor_at_Central_Meridian: 0.9996
Longitude_of_Central_Meridian: -81
Latitude_of_Projection_Origin: 0.0
False_Easting: 500000.0
False_Northing: 0.0
Horizontal_Datum_Name: North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83)
Ellipsoid_Name: GRS1980
Semi-major_Axis: 6378137.0
Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257222101
I didn't see anything about units. Anyone know if the UDSA aerials are in metric, and if so, how to correct this? I have sucessfully connected to shapefiles and google earth images, so I am pretty sure it is something with the aerial itself.
brake76 wrote:. Anyone know if the UDSA aerials are in metric, and if so, how to correct this? I have sucessfully connected to shapefiles and google earth images, so I am pretty sure it is something with the aerial itself.
IIRC some of the images from USDA are in metric even when the metadata states otherwise. Where abouts in TN are ya?
USDA is metric. Are you using FDO or MapIINSERT? make sure you set the drawing coordinates to metric if using mapiinsert. fdo will transform, mapiinsert wont... you need to insert in metric and perform a drawing query to transform utm meters to nad feet if not using FDO...
I have tried using mapiinsert and connecting to the SID file via the task pane (connect to data) and get the same result. When I connect to shape files that weren't provided by USDA, everything comes in to scale and in the right location (even if i created the shape file in ArcGIS drawing on top of a USDA aerial). Both image and shape files directly from USDA come in scaled to metric and in the wrong location. I have never had these problems in ArcGIS. Any ideas?

He and his assistant, Angela Thompson, were in the middle of an operation. Derek had just invoked his Healing Touch in a bolstered effort to successfully complete the operation and save the patient. His hands moved so quickly that it was almost impossible to follow them; there were afterimages all over the operating space where his hands had been, where they were, and even where they would be. His eyes were wide as his concentration became supernaturally high, and his voice echoed out the tools he needed at a moment's notice, his trusty nurse--not to mention lover--placing each tool carefully in his hands as he needed them, never breaking the chain.Eventually, the operation was complete. The patient was sutured, the incision disinfected and bandaged. As it was a field operation, the patient was then carted off

Spotlight on Commerce: Nancy Potok, Associate Director for Demographic Programs
Ed. Note: This post is part of the Spotlight on Commerce series, which highlights members of the Department of Commerce who are contributing to the president's vision of an America Built to Last.
I direct the Demographic programs at the Census Bureau. We calculate annual population estimates for each area of the US, calculate the official poverty rate numbers, and work with data from the decennial census and the American Community Survey to create numerous reports and products that inform our nation about the changing characteristics of our growing population. We also conduct surveys on behalf of other Federal agencies such as the National Crime Victims Survey, which the Bureau of Justice Statistics uses to calculate the crime rate, the Current Population Survey, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics uses to calculate the unemployment rate each month, and many others. One unsung area of the Census is our strong international program. That group, in cooperation with USAID and other agencies, offers technical assistance to countries on how to set up their own scientific and objective statistical activities and conduct censuses and surveys of their population.
The President has laid out a vision to build an America that lasts, and the Census Bureau contributes to that future. Much of the data that we produce is used by state and local Economic Development Authorities to bring businesses to their area. Businesses use the information to make relocation decisions and to target their marketing appropriately. We also report, at various geographic levels such as states, counties, cities, and small towns, on educational attainment, income, poverty, how people make various use of government assistance programs, and other critical information needed to inform our communities on how we as a nation are doing and where we need to invest our resources to strengthen our future. Without the data collected by the Census Bureau, we would not have the information we need to grow our economy, create jobs, improve our schools, build roads, and other activities critical to our civil society.
I grew up in Detroit, but have been living in the Washington, DC area for many years now. I earned my Masters in Administrative Science from the University of Alabama and then became a Presidential Management Fellow at the US Department of Transportation. I went on to earn my Ph.D. in Public Policy and Public Administration from the George Washington University. Since I enjoy school and learning so much, I've returned as an adjunct professor there, teaching in the Trachtenberg School of Public policy and Public Administration.


text: Okereke IC et al. – Although considered to have greater malignant potential, long–term survival can be achieved in patients with thymic carcinoma who are amenable to surgical therapy. With increased use of computed tomography imaging, patients with early–stage disease are being identified more frequently, and complete surgical resection appears to have favorable cure rates in these patients. Select patients with locally advanced disease can experience long–term survival with a multimodality approach.

MR. STANLEY'S WAY: Much has been written about the retail prowess of the late Stanley Marcus, whose imaginative marketing and buying skills made Neiman Marcus a retail icon.
A more personal account of the cigar-loving bon vivant and his mischievous, maddening management style emerges in Thomas E. Alexander's new book, "Stanley Marcus: The Relentless Reign of a Merchant Prince," to be published this month by Akin Press.
"He was one of those sort of people you could never really satisfy — there was always a way to improve," recalled Alexander, who headed marketing at Neiman's from 1970 through 1987 and worked directly with Marcus the first five years. "People came and went with great regularity at Neiman Marcus, and if you didn't live up to his standards, you were gone."
A member of the Texas Historical Commission and author of four books on Texas military history, Alexander devoted four years to chronicling Marcus' eccentric style as well as Neiman's history.
His backstage view reveals the more comical details of company lore, such as Lord Mountbatten, the British statesman and war hero, lobbing a tomato across a luncheon table to shatter an abrupt social chill emanating from Stanley, or an antismoking actor Larry Hagman wielding a handheld fan to blow Princess Margaret's cigarette cloud right back in her face during a Neiman's-sponsored dinner.
With great affection for the man he deems a "genius," Alexander portrays Marcus as an obsessive micromanager who expected his executive team to be attentive 24/7.
"He was probably the toughest marketing master who ever lived," Alexander said. "For those who worked for him, it's a blessing that e-mail and Twitter and cell phones had not been invented. We all hoped somehow he'd go on a long-distance trip around the world and crash land safely on a remote island, but even if that had happened, I'm sure a message in a bottle would have shown up. I don't think he ever slept. He worked the whole time."
Marcus cranked out nonstop memos via Dictaphone, critiquing the tiniest details and dispatching suggestions for improving the company.
"I got 230 typewritten memos in five working days' time," Alexander said. "He would comment on the way the store name looked on a truck, the way the type was too small in an ad, a model's pose.…And if you did not respond in two days' time, you would get another memo with 'Please let us have your reply.'"
He played mind games with executives, such as offering them their pick of his pipe collection and then reclaiming them within days. Alexander writes that the tactic was probably prompted by Marcus' curiousness to see which implement they chose.
Marcus' ego, once so prodigious that he rewrote the lyrics to "My Way" to reflect his own career and sang it to his associates at a company anniversary, mellowed in later years.
But he never lost his intellectual edge. At 95, Marcus, who died at 96 in 2002, told Alexander, "'Without change, there is no challenge, and without challenge, there is only the status quo, but no progress.'" — Holly Haber

It appears Rep. Steve Daines has finally gotten the message that intruding in women's private medical decisions is not only bad policy, it's bad politics. Months after announcing his candidacy for U.S. Senate, Daines made the misleading claim last week that he does not support outlawing birt…

The Hill's Brendan Sasso: "The FBI has flown drones ten times in US" The FBI revealed to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) that it has flown drones in U.S. airspace ten times since 2006. In a letter released by Paul on Thursday, Stephen Kelly, the FBI's director of legislative affairs, said that the agency uses drones in "very limited circumstances" for aerial surveillance. None of the drones are armed with either lethal or non-lethal weapons, Kelly said. LINK

The legal strategy, announced by Attorney General Eric Holder Thursday, is directed initially at Texas' voting procedures, but it promises to have much broader impact. LINK

Senior administration officials tell ABC News that the Obama administration has not determined whether a military coup occurred in Egypt earlier this month, and legally may never have to. According to U.S. foreign aid funding law, the designation of a coup would mean an automatic cut-off in aid to the country, which is roughly $1.55 billion a year, with $1.3 billion of that going to the military.

But that could prove to be a narrow hole to thread with the public. LINK

Is there a way to change the direction of a Label? I want all my text facing the same direction and some of my Labels for contours are turned the wrong direction.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by awood. See the answer in context.
You can try turning Plan Readable to False in the Label Style.
Click on the contour label and move it over a little bit, it might flip upright.
I tried that. I have to move it to far.
You can try turning Plan Readable to False in the Label Style.
You could rotate your cube until the label flips.
In your text style under the General tab, change the Readability Bias to 90.
Turning the Plan Readability off fixed my issue.

I just had a new door installed to connect the house to the garage. The installation required a wire to be cut, so now I need to extend the wire up and over the door. What is the proper way of doing this? Do I need to use junction boxes on either side of the door to make my connections? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bcarlson78248 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 28, 13 at 8:13
The simple answer is yes, you need need accessible junction boxes on both sides. However, if you still have the wall open where you want to frame the door you may have some other options. I am assuming the line you cut just connects one outlet to another in the wall. - For example, if the wire you cut is connected to a nearby outlet you may be able to rerun the wire and use that outlet as a junction on one side. - If you plan to add a light switch to either side of the door you may be able to use a higher capacity box and use that for box the wire junction on one side. - You could just add an outlet in the area to both sides of the door and use the new outlet boxes for the junctions. Bruce |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Sat, Sep 28, 13 at 8:54
The other option is if you can get to the two boxes or whatever on both sides of the line you're cutting and run a new piece up and over where the terminations are made where they originally were. I like Bruce's idea of taking advantage of the junction boxes to install an additional switch or receptacle. Note that if the receptacles face into the garage (as opposed to the living space), they'll need GFCI protection. |
Thanks for the responses. The wire that was cut does connect one outlet to another on adjacent walls. However after looking at the situation, I think i'm just going to have to pop a few holes on the garage side wall and install junctions boxes on either side of the door. Fortunately I do need to put a garage light switch near the newly installed door, so theres one box. And I guess ill have to run another box and blank faceplate on the other side... I probably will try and fish some new wire to the outlets, but I don't see it happening. |

Legendary movie spy has link to NH political dynasty
But Michael G. Wilson, who has produced and written many of the Bond films, has family ties to the Granite State.
Wilson, 70, first became involved with the James Bond films by working as an assistant to his stepfather, Albert "Cubby" Broccoli on "The Spy Who Loved Me."
From there, Wilson worked his way up through the ranks, earning various producer credits on films including "Moonraker" and "A View to a Kill."
He also became a screenwriter for a number of the movies, including "License to Kill." After Bond disappeared from theaters for six years, it was Wilson and his stepsister, Barbara Broccoli, who brought the franchise back to life with "GoldenEye," and they've produced every James Bond adventure since.
But before being swept into the glitz and glitter of Hollywood, Wilson used to vacation at his grandparents' house in Wilton Center, according to a Wilson cousin by the name of Gregg - Judd Gregg.
"Michael is a great guy," said Gregg, the former New Hampshire governor and U.S. senator, who described Wilson as a distant cousin on the side of Hugh Gregg, Judd's father and also a former governor. "Though he lives in Europe, he has always stayed in very close touch with his family in New Hampshire."
Gregg said that Wilson, who is closer in age to his brother, Cy Gregg, is also a cousin of Judge David Sullivan of Wilton. As boys, the Greggs and Sullivan and Wilson all spent time together during the summers, Judd Gregg said.
The Bond films are a source of pride for the family, said Gregg, and he admires the hard work of Wilson and Broccoli.
"They have maintained the most successful franchise in film ever," he said. "And they've managed to maintain the integrity of the Bond character along the way."
Gregg said he's never met any of the actors who have played James Bond, author Ian Fleming's iconic character, but he's always enjoyed going to the movies to see his cousin's work.
And though Wilson isn't in New Hampshire often, Gregg said, the busy producer continues to keep strong ties to the Granite State.
"Even with his success, Michael works hard to maintain a connection to New Hampshire and his family ties here," Gregg said.

What Are the Most Damage-Prone Cars?
In August, we reported Allstate's ranking of America's worst and best drivers by city, which concluded that Worcester, Mass., had the most dangerous drivers while Fort Collins, Colo., drivers were the safest behind the wheel. That got us to thinking: If certain drivers get in more crashes, which cars tend to incur the most damage?
Related: City Drivers Versus Country Drivers: Who's More Dangerous?
According to a 2014 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comparing different categories of cars and individual models by their relative "damage susceptibility," some cars are indeed more likely to incur damage or, at least, costly damage — some way more costly — while others are far less so. The report uses data compiled by the Highway Loss Data Institute in its December 2013 Insurance Collision Report, and it "reflects the collision loss experience of passenger cars, station wagons, passenger vans, pickups and utility vehicles sold in the United States in terms of the average loss payment per insured vehicle year for model years 2011-2013," NHTSA stated.

Expanding on the idea of Colt, Colt Soft takes the family closer towards the realm of its original inspiration—type on vehicles from the 60s. During the decade, hefty letters were often embossed into the back of truck tailgates. Because of this technique, corners on the characters were never perfectly sharp, giving a slightly rounded appearance. Colt Soft takes this idea and applies it to the original Colt typeface giving it an overall softened appearance.

Is there anything new in the book? A purportedly scientific support for social constructionism of gender.
It is alarming, given new research such as this, and much of the analysis covered in books including Cordelia Fine's "Delusions of Gender", that society ever-increasingly attempts to segregate and stereotype infant children by (external) gender characteristics.
Clearly marketing plays a huge role: if you can force parents to buy everything for their daughter in pink rather than a neutral colour, and then convince them that this will be harmful and effeminate when they later conceive a son, clearly you can sell twice as many products. Highly desirable, if not commercially critical, in western economies with ever shrinking birth rates.
But one has to wonder if some more sinister influence lurks behind: a backlash against increased equality and the greying of once-clear gender and sexual orientation demarcations, that is greatly upsetting to more conservative elements of society. The marketing myth of the perfect 1950s housewife - invented to get women out of the workforce and back into the home once men returned from war - seems a possible parallel.
The fact is that a generation ago, gender was not routinely determined before birth, so a wider range of "gender neutral" products were sold. Two generations ago there were far fewer products anyway: talk to older parents, and be amazed at how much they made themselves, sewed, stitched, and certainly recycled. Throwing out usable clothes and items for being the "wrong gender colour" would have been unthinkable.
So now we have increasing amounts of evidence that suggest we are not as gender-polarised as we once thought - and as many would prefer to keep thinking. It is time to translate this evidence into the ways we parent our children, and perhaps consider rearing them more as just "children", rather than "boys" and "girls".
The Economist continues to operate from the establishment ground of male dominance (in which masculinity itself is defined as dominant). This author is described as "the right man for the job" seeming to show that The Economist, as always, identifies with men and overvalues them.
This book appears valuable and should be added not only to "BrainStorm" but also to works produced by Dr. Lise Eliot ("Pink Brain, Blue Brain") and Dr. Cordelia Fine ("Delusions of Gender").
I suspect, however, that the author of this book and The Economist are blinded by their male privilege.
For example, the Economist says "the significant differences in their brains only pertain to those primitive behaviours which include mating, parenting and aggression." It is unclear whether this is a quote from the book or is the reviewer's conjecture.
In either case, it appears to reflect blindness from male privilege. Aggression is socialized, and women raised in environments where it is tolerated in them will display it as much as men have had it for centuries. Parenting behavior is socialized, and men raised in environments where it is tolerated in them will display it as much as women have for centuries.
I wish that the elements of socialization were called out more so that people could understand the edifice of male privilege. "The Gender Knot" by Alan Johnson is an excellent book that both men and women may find helpful in understanding what male privilege is.
Please let's grow up and get out of this toxic system of patriarchy. It's unproductive, wasteful, and traumatizing. And this means you as well, Mr. Economist.
Maybe the problem is that the Economist reviewer considers himself not part of the human race.
"The significant differences in their brains only pertain to those primitive behaviours which include mating, parenting and aggression."
He apparently never had sex, never had parents, and never felt like attacking someone or something.
These are the root of the problem and cannot be dismissed.
Conflating aggression with sex creates "rape culture." Not allowing women to use aggression as much as men can, particularly in self-defense, leads poor quality mating. (Perhaps assertiveness and not aggression and negotiation not entitlement would make the mating process,and everything else in the world, a bit less "primitive"?) Considering women to be the only parents who matter is wrong, even on a basic biological level (babies cannot be created without male participation of some kind; I think children actually want to be emotionally and physically bonded to fathers as much as to mothers).
Interesting choice of picture.
I wonder how much more time the man in the picture has spent working out compared to the woman? I'm guessing quite a bit. Not too many men I see, even at the gym, have physiques like that.
The female's hardly average, quite thin especially thighs, flat abdominal...they're also both caucasian...
The comments show the article is right when it says courage is needed to touch this subject. What a bunch of politically motivated blurbs...
There are far more interesting questions.
Its a fact that many species show significant differences between the dominant male, other males and even more so females. The term "alpha male" originally describes non-human primate behavior. Alpha males are physically huge and often differently colored from other males and females.
In humans there is no real "alpha male" trait. It is interesting to ask: why? When genus homo diverged from the chimps and gorillas, something changed in our basic environment that made dominance recede. What was it?
Willorng says:
"The female's hardly average, quite thin especially thighs, flat abdominal...they're also both caucasian..."
Yes, good point. It would be interesting to see the tennis players Martina Navratalova or Venus Williams or the swimmer Dara Torres or a WBNA player in place of this woman and see how it looks. (They probably do have flat abs, though the rest of them is much more sculpted and sinewy like this man.)
Way to miss the forest for the trees, folks!
It is hard to disagree with the author that similarities between genders are far more typical than it is thought to be but one trait, as it seems, is almost exclusively feminine. It is multitasking. Women are much better at handling multiple assignments simultaneously than men and it does not look that the trait is something males can develop easily. Try cook couple of dishes while speaking on the phone, replying emails and dictating shopping list to somebody and you would understand what I mean.
A compelling argument against those who attempt to pigeonhole people into two distinct gender categories. Often, at least in the USA, those who seek to limit the rights of people outside the "normal" heterosexual, monogamous, male and female only model of human life and justify their bigotry by asserting that anything outside it is "unnatural."
If biology makes us with a spectrum of sexualities and genders based on the complex interactions of hormones, gene expression, and environmental influences...then we must recognize such a spectrum and stop denying rights to some groups based on arbitrary categorization.
at last someone assured me that there exists a woman who is just like me with only the critical parts different. ... i was not wrong all these years for waiting for her
kansasrefugee, whenever people start talking about "male privilege" I generally have the laugh. As I often say to such people: if this is privilege, you can have it...please...take it! These people have yet to scientifically demonstrate to me how men as a whole are privileged. Sure, there are a tiny, minuscule percentage of people on top and a large percentage of them happen to be male, but that's not the same thing.
Since you are suggesting books, how about you take a look at "Myth of Male Power" by Warren Farrell. (or any books by Farrell for that matter)
Now in terms of the story at hand, I'll have the read the book. There is a lot there that makes sense to me. The problem I have with mainstream feminism - as evidenced by the so-called feminists that commented here - is they try to put boys/men into "privileged" little boxes and girls/women into "victim" boxes. This attitude simply reinforces the gender stereotypes they purport to fight so some real evidenced-based science on the subject will be a great counter balance to the zealotry of feminist ideology.
I have not yet read the book, so I will comment only on the review.
The reviewer wants to make the point of a continuum of change between female and male determination. Well, he missed an important point, the chromosome. As everybody knows, presence of a Y chromosome, inherited from the father, determine the masculine sex. This is the smallest chromosome among the 22 others, but it contains MANY extremely important genes that determine many aspects of behavior and diseases. The socio-cultural influences are important in modulating the gene expression, but the genes are not a continuum. Either you have them, or not.
LanceSmith says
"if this is privilege, you can have it...please...take it!"
Yes, many, many men recognize that equal status with women is in their interest. It can be difficult to have acquired status without earning it, for example. Who wants to feel like a fraud?
I, or other women (or men for that matter), can't do the work for you, however. Please read Alan Johnson's book, The Gender Knot. He discusses Farrell. Some of Farrell's points are correct, for example, that men have been harmed by patriarchy as well, but he misaims in a number of respects and, I believe, has not really gotten at the heart of his own victimization and been able to articulate it clearly.
I assure you, I'm no victim. I'm just calling out the facts.
kansasrefugee: "I assure you, I'm no victim. I'm just calling out the facts."
Don't conflate fact with interpretation.
What you define as privilege, I define as oppression in that men are at least as oppressed by society as women. And while the feminist use of the term "patriarchy" implies that it is men doing the oppressing, as Farrell has put so well, this is a fallacy.
Example: feminists love to talk about the fact that most elected officials are men and this somehow suggests that therefore men are privileged, when it is women who make up the larger percentage of the electorate. "Power is not in who holds the office. Power is in who chooses who holds the office."
Women's choices: stay home, work, both.
Men's choices: work, work, and work.
And before you say this is the (male) patriarchy at work, let's keep in mind that most women won't marry an un-working male. The glass cellar is alive and well in the minds of women.
This patriarchy/privilege nonsense you bring up is precisely why feminism is a religion that is fundamentally broken. Oh it sells well to women-who-want-to-be-victims and chivalrous men, but it is not based in fact.
The problem with feminism is not the purported belief that men and women should be equal, it is the blame game they play at the expense of both men and women. For example, they suggest we live in some mythical "rape culture" by focusing on the tiny percentage of men who are rapists, and miss the huge number of men who die every year doing jobs that women don't want and on a whole don't demand all so their families can live a better life. How much money has been spent getting women into science/engineering? Contrast that figure with the amount of money that has been spent trying to get women into garbage collecting, registering for selective service, mining, migrant farming, and EVERY other type of job that carries true bodily risk.
If women are an example of an "oppressed" group, then when in history has an oppressed group had it so good? They get men to wait on them hand and foot to provide them with comforts they couldn't otherwise afford, they "buy" these comforts through selection of mates that can provide them, they get to live 8 years longer to boot, and they get to continue to sell the victimology of their own existence. Brilliance - pure brilliance!
In every area whether it is health, reproductive rights, eduction, and so on it is women who are privileged. Oh sure, men are not without blame, but to suggest that the patriarchy (e.g. men) is the only thing that hurts men is a crock. The better bet would be to see the darkness and the light in BOTH genders and realize that individuals of BOTH genders have had a lot to do with our current state of affairs....but, that doesn't sell nearly as well with angry women and chivalrous men.
Other folks worth checking out: Wendy McElroy, Glenn Sacks, Christina Hoff Sommers, Camille Paglia, Erin Pizzey, and so on.
What is meant by 'high-achieving alpha girl'?
A fireman is a classic alpha male. But who is the alpha female? A fireman's wife? Or a lady firefighter?
In my view obviously the alpha female is the successful wife and mother; and careers for women are just a substitute for marriage. Women usually find completion as wives and mothers and homemakers perhaps with a part-time job; and careers for women are more of a distraction. (Your use of the term 'alpha GIRL' is a dead giveaway.)
But gender-theorising gets on my wick, when there is a solution to hand: a gender-neutral HOMEMAKER ALLOWANCE and a policy of full-wage jobs for breadwinners and part-time jobs for homemakers i.e one good job per household, with singles and working couples left to fend for themselves. And let the chips lie where they fall.
At present we are putting our resources behind working couples: trying to make it possible for women to juggle home and career, when in many instances they would rather be homemakers. And we should be putting our resources behing breadwinner and homemaker marriages, while treating working couples to the policy of benign neglect and petty harrassment at present reserved for single-income marriages.
AsFarpas wrote:
...the genes [on the Y chormosome] are not a continuum. Either you have them, or not.
Two comments on this argument: There are individuals who have a Y and two X chomosomes for example, so it's not just black and white.
Second, presence of a gene does not automatically translate into equal protein expression in all carriers. There are small differences in the sequence that can cause differential expression and also modifications of the DNA itself, affecting gene expression (epigeneticists try to decipher those modifications, some of which can even be inherited from the parents).
Interesting and intriguing that the Koran mentions and quotes this fact to drive a teaching home . According to the Koran people are only shades of male or female I.e. Every human being is some shade between the alpha female and the alpha male .
I read the exchange between "kansas" and "Lance" with great interest. By political persuasion I should be a firm feminist, but whenever people start talking about "patriarchal privilege" and the like it really rubs me the wrong way. I don't feel particularly priviledged and I don't see that the men around me should either.
To me, anytime you start throwing around terms about a massive group of people (and the only group more massive than "men" is "women") you start seeming rather accusatory and one-sided. I think that's why "Lance" makes so much sense to me in many of his comments.
But then you have "uncle clive" who in my view takes the "wife and homemaker" thing too far. He later shows he's not all that one-sided on this though by coming up with the idea that either person in a relationship could be the "breadwinner" and the other a "part-time worker/homemaker," but I have no idea how the government could do anything to make this the case. It seems like it's more or less what happens now, at least in two parent/middle class households where it's an option. I know of a number of cases where the woman in a hetero relationship has continued to work after starting a family while the man goes to part time or stays home, because she had been the principal earner in the household before the kids came along.
If nothing else we can at least agree that it's complicated.

If you want to understand the shift in political power that has taken place in Texas over the past thirty years—from rural areas to the new suburbs, from Democratic control to Republican dominance—you'll hardly find a better case study than Tom DeLay's Sugar Land.
You probably know that Tom DeLay spearheaded the massive—and massively controversial— congressional redistricting effort that tied Texas legislators in knots for one regular and three special sessions. What you probably don't know is how he did it. Herein lies a tale.
The 58-year-old banker and oilman from Laredo is enormously wealthy, has impeccable Texas roots, and–best of all–is Hispanic. Sounds like the Democrats' dream candidate, right? Maybe.

I sailed an ultralight double-paddle canoe (an undecked kayak) for a while. There is a sailing canoe forum on Yahoo which has a lot of good ideas on it. There were several famous decked canoe (kayak) cruisers in the past. Read about Macgregor in his Rob Roy canoes and Fenger in Yakaboo.
I used a BSD rig in my canoe. The leeboard attached to the thwart with the partners on it. I thought it would be unbalanced but it wasn't. The rudder was a modest aluminum kickup controlled by lines. The mast was unstayed aluminum sections, also fine. Small rigs are proportionately stronger than big ones, and have less need for stays.
I cartopped mine from NY to FL and daysailed in different places every day while staying in a cheap motel. It was a great vacation. Sailed and paddled with egrets, herons, pelicans, loons, dolphin and alligators (!).

Changes that can make your home safer and how to look at other housing options is also one of the presentations. Learn how exercise can help in reducing stress. The programs are led by local professionals but it is the discussion of the participants that also provides confidence to each other.
Attend all of the programs or only those topics that are of interest. No registration is required and all programs are free.
Transportation is available by calling the Douglas County Senior Services, 785-865-6925.

Matt Damon & Kristen Wiig Among Celebs In Hilarious Clinton Foundation Sketch (VIDEO)
Who says you can't laugh while still promoting a good cause?
Comedy video website Funny Or Die has always featured top celebs in their web projects, but this one in particular may have taken their tradition to new heights. In promoting the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Foundation, former President Bill Clinton makes a cameo in this A-list heavy video which features the likes of Ben Stiller, Matt Damon, Ted Danson, Sean Penn, Kristen Wiig, and Jack Black to name a few.
In the video, the stars sit at a table to brainstorm ideas for the foundation's "Celebrity Division." Lead by Stiller, the brainstorming session becomes unproductive, with Matt becoming persistent in his desire to start a foundation softball team, while Sean Penn is ticked off that someone is eating his lunch that he's marked with his name on it.
The final scene of the video has the team pitching their new ideas over the phone to the president himself ... or so they believe. We also find out who's been stealing Penn's lunch from the fridge.
