i'm higher on the anxiety about getting my next fix
than i am when i get it
until i can't take anymore watch me drop to the floor
won't you revel in it all
i deserve it all
If you lost yourself and I was
Looking for someone
Would it be like
A loaded gun?
And if you found yourself to be
Innocent and free (I want you to be)
I want you to be (innocent & free)
But the things I'm lead to believe
A nothing life want us to be
Thank you for yesterday
I enjoyed the solitude
Worlds apart, we're both in pain
And when I heard you cried on the phone
I tell you, you're not alone
There's always a hand to hold
And your tears inside are mine
When you cried, cried
I love you there
I love you there
S*M*A*S*H, spring 1993
Neither the answer nor the question really bespeaks my true sentiments on the issue at hand. But it nonetheless epitomizes the disdain I have towards the caustic, insulated, reactionary, sentimentalist view the vast majority of thinking people seem to hold on just about each and every issue. To the interweb expert guy, waxing in-eloquently about the hardness of some 25 year old man child who's paid twenty grand a year to pedal a bicycle and lives with his mother when he's not sleeping on someone's couch; to the guy on my ride who insists on chirping code words he gleaned from a bad translation of the Bernard Hinault's Complete Ghostwritten and Useless Guide to Cycling, while pointing out variations in pavement color tint as if they were the missing manhole covers, to the dude who asked me why I hate the environment as I channeled a long line of dead under-achieving, working-class white American ancestors and installed louder, freer flowing axle-backs in my Mustang – I know you have an intense desire to attach meaning and value to your existence; it's only human. I do not hate you for it, I hate you for the fact that you have never added any meaning or value to anything; be it your existence or a 2008 Mustang Bullitt.
Action and work have an inherent value and an inherent ability to manipulate and change the world in a way, which sentimentality and romanticism and an unhealthy regard for insulation against risk do not. It is perfectly all right to hop on a bike without a helmet and go get a beer, to tell your kids to go out and play in the street, to go buy a handgun, because you think it's the fucking coolest thing ever and you want to shoot shit with your buddies. It is not alright to hide behind a windshield in order to act like a tough guy, or sign your kid up for every single sport you sucked at as a kid when all he wants to do is play with barbies and work on his tap steps, or buy that handgun because you sincerely are such a small-dicked, little, scared douchebag that you honestly believe without it people will break into your house and steal your tv. If people are going to break into your house and steal your tv, you need to either move or lock your door. In short, living is about action, and doing things and a little bit of risk and fun and stepping outside. If for every 25 tussles you get into with nameless, faceless persons on the interweb, you had just one fist fight, you would be a better, kinder, more considerate and caring person.
Much if not all of this nihilistic vitriol stems from my own attempt to make sense and (gulp) attach meaning and value to something I simply cannot. I lost a friend and a hero this past month. Someone who shared an adolescence of big hopes, shattered dreams and even some gut wrenching hard fucking work with me and many others of our generation; an adolescence he unfortunately or fortunately inhabited for the entirety of his short adult life. My own brand of bicycles is even an homage to him; something unbeknownst to me until my friend Justin pointed it out. Honestly there is no story to his death I don't think. It was neither inevitable, apropos, meaningless nor meaningful. It was simply a stupid act undeserving of the permanence it caused for those of us who are left standing. We've all imbibed a bit too much of life at times, and the scary thing is, I could see my self popping another pill while sitting shitfaced on vacation having fun. It's bad luck and it sucks but the levity only exists up to the minute his heart stopped and he was gone. Trying to make anything stick to something as real as life and death is pretentious, dumb and banal. Unrealized potential is never what any of us are about; and no one should ever, ever think about life in those terms. Meaning can only transcend reality when realized through impossible action. Navalmoral, Liege, Flanders, Paris-Nice, that stupid race in Leper where he lapped the pro field twice as a junior; no one on a bike ever had as many of those moments as him. Die wade et arvey, con. I'll miss you. Oh and I want my S*M*A*S*H CD back.

Already ready to buy? See the CHOICE comparison of fridges and freezers . Read our reliability survey on fridges.
There are three basic models of fridge to choose from:
If price, range, efficiency and value are your biggest concern, this is the design for you. Pros
Video: Five things you need to know before buying a fridge
Expert tips from our fridge tester.
This is all about the convenience factor — it's easy to use. Pros
If you're an entertainer, or have an active family, the extra features and space can be very useful. Pros
A good rule of thumb is that a family of two needs between 250-285 L of space in a fridge, and you should add 28.5 litres for each additional family member after that. Add freezer space on top of that. The bigger the fridge, the more features, the better the efficiency per litre and the better performance. If in doubt, get the bigger fridge.
If you want the maximum amount of storage possible, but don't have a lot of space, an upright freezer would be your best bet. But chest freezers are better performers when it comes to freezing, and are generally cheaper to buy and to run.
If you're still sold on an upright – and you're planning to update your fridge as well – you might consider buying a pigeon pair. These are separate but matching fridge and freezer. These give you more options for storage than a side-by-side combined fridge/freezer, but will take up more space and have a much wider footprint.
Because of the wider footprint, they're more suitable for a new or renovated kitchen that's been designed with them in mind. However, unlike side by sides, you have the option of not putting the two components next to each other - you can put the freezer in another room.
If you're keen on plenty of freezer space, pigeon pairs generally have more than side by sides unless you go for a very big side by side. At around 600L, side by sides tend to have a narrow freezer compartment - you need to go up to around 800L to get a good sized freezer, so a pigeon pair could be a better, more flexible option. Keep in mind that very large fridges of all kinds can be difficult to get into the house. Check the measurements of bottlenecks like doorways, hallways, staircases and lifts before you buy.
Our experience suggests you may be able to negotiate a better price with the retailer than the sum of the two components when buying a pigeon pair together.

A good fridge/freezer should do more than keep your food safe — it should also be energy-efficient. As it's working non-stop, the energy it consumes adds up — think of the long-term running costs as part of the purchase price of the fridge.
For some years now Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) have been in place, which every new fridge sold in Australia must meet. These are mandatory standards and the tougher MEPS that came into force in January 2005 have brought significant improvements in energy efficiency.
The latest MEPS became manadatory as of April 2010 (MEPS 2010), which makes 2007 testing standard mandatory. The actual MEPs 2010 requirements haven't changed significantly, but one noticible change is the energy label star rating system.
The new energy star rating label uses a different star rating algorithm to allow further improvement in energy efficiency. This means a fridge previously rated four stars will now only have two stars. It doesn't mean it's less efficient – the star ratings have just been calculated differently, so be sure to also compare the kWh/year too. All fridges manufactured or imported from 1 April 2010 must carry the new label and be registered to the latest testing standard. Stock made or imported before this date can continue to be sold. Over the transitional period, both labels will be displayed in stores. The new labels will not have a green bar on the bottom, and they can accommodate super energy efficient machines up to 10 stars by adding a four-star crown above the label.
Think about your typical fridge and freezer usage and whether the type of fridge you're considering matches it.
Also, bear in mind that all fridges need at least a few centimetres of air space around them. Measure your available space, and brochures in the shop or the fridge's manual will tell you how much space to allow — as does our Compare fridges feature.
The answer lies in the nature of convection, the working of the heat exchanger and the position of the compressor which produces a lot of heat. Convection is the way air circulates due to differences in temperature. Basically, the warmer air rises and the cooler air falls. In the early fridges, this was the only way the air inside the compartments circulated, so the freezer was always at the top and there were cooling coils for both fridge and freezer. The cooling is done using the compression and expansion of the refrigerant which flows through the cooling coils. Modern fridges don't rely quite so much on convection as they use fans to circulate the air inside the compartments. These fans usually turn off when you open the door so that cold air isn't blown out while you're getting your food out of the fridge. They also usually have only one set of cooling coils which and the cold air is circulated into the appropriate compartments. The freezer is still the compartment that needs the most cooling and in a bottom mount fridge it is right next to the heat producing compressor, so that more energy is required to keep it cold. In addition, the cold air needs to be forced up to the fresh food compartment against the natural flow of convection and this also uses energy. A top mounted freezer is a long way from the compressor, so is easier to keep cold and the natural flow of the cold air produced takes it to the fresh food compartment as well requiring less work by the circulation system.
Some thoughtful questions from an online member prompted us to think about the positives and negatives of upright versus chest freezers. So if you are in the market for a stand-alone freezer, here are some things to consider.
The percentage running cost difference between an upright and chest freezer can be calculated if you get the current manufacturer label values for their upright frost-free freezers and similar sized large chest units. The uprights will probably only be a little higher in energy because the compressors used in the more expensive upright models are usually more efficient than the less expensive chest products even though the chest design can have a lower energy loss. We may do this the next time we test freezers.
The storage life of your food won't be quite as good in an upright because there is likely to be more temperature variation from automatic defrosts and door openings. A chest freezer can be very awkward to use but its shape does mean little cold air escapes when the lid is opened. With extra precautions the upright can perform well if the door isn't opened for too long or too often. Avoid putting sensitive food at the top of the upright - this area will have the most temperature variation and warming with defrosts, door openings and compressor cycling. Most importantly set your freezer to at least -18°C. Properly check the temperature with a number of thermometers left inside. Your food will need to be more fully wrapped with as much air excluded as possible in a frost free upright because the circulating less humid air will dry out food much more than the static air in a chest freezer. A freezer model which has small temperature fluctuations (from the compressor running then stopping) will give better food storage life and quality but this information is only available for CHOICE tested models. In both chest and uprights the compressor step - which is a small outcrop where the plastic or metal casing is shaped inward making space for the compressor behind it - can be a little warmer than other locations so again sensitive foods are best not stored there.
Corrosiveness of manufactured panels in fridge/freezers is difficult to assess. We do carry out appliance reliability surveys every few years which give you some indication of the amount of repairs which may include resistance to rust. Also check your warranty details - rust is not always fully covered, or only to perforation of metals. You might want to check that the inner panels are plastic rather than steel.
Upright freezers are not unpopular, however the market is dominated by fridge/freezers rather than pigeon pair combination options like upright freezers. This could be for a variety of reasons. Size and tradition come to mind and most households don't have an additional stand alone freezer.
You should also consider ease of access if you want to purchase a stand-alone freezer. Bending over into a large chest freezer could be difficult for older people, for example.

Looking back, it seems that my first attempts at writing poetry were adventures in revision. What I remember revising first were songs, specifically Primary songs — although my mother insists that I was at work on the hymns in Sacrament Meeting when I was three. This is what I recall as my earliest effort, from one bright and cheery Tuesday, Primary being met in a recycled army barracks on the BYU campus:
In the leafy teacups, the bird mugs are girning. They're first the sun to spy, they start to wonder why, In the leafy teacups, the bird mugs are girning.
In my giddy garden, the flowers are nodding. They are the poppies here, they'd rather have a beer, In my giddy garden the flowers are nodding.
Even these simple lines are a revision, as I recall. Through the haze of memory I vaguely hear that first revision as a simple case of transposition: "In the treafy lea-tops the birds sing 'Mud Gorning'" — but the second line was a disaster, in which the seeming demands of rhyme twisted the lines beyond any rational understanding, proclaiming "They're first the sun to see, they must El Toro wee" which, of course, prompted extensive revision to create the masterpiece quoted above.
My mother insists that, even before I was entrusted to the custody of the Primary Association, I would sit between her and my father in Sacrament Meeting and join in the hymns, twisting them as I sang. The only example she ever gave was this: Her: "If I have wounded any soul today…" Me: "Ow! Oooh!" Her: "If I have caused a foot to go astray…" Me: "Stomp! Clomp!"
Not least among my reasons for not believing her story: I have never been able to identify the hymn in question. And for most of my revisions, I have never been able to forget them — especially the really dumb ones — no matter how hard I try. This one I don't remember. If true, her calumny would point to a rebelliousness rather than inability to remember the lyrics as the root of my life of verse. I won't go there — or, rather, I won't drag you there.
But be it known that, as I grew, and waxed mighty in word, I began to work more elaborate revisions, most of them on hymns relevant to my age, as in this gem from my teen-age mind [heavily influenced by my Aunt Erma and her forays into Skinnerian psychology, as applied to education]:
Let us all press "on" in the work of the Lord, For if we press "off" we shall lose a great reward; If we shirk our work we will blunt and dull the sword, The swinging sword of sweat. Fear not courage, though the enema debride! We must be inglorious, for the lard is on her side. We'll not fear the wicker nor give heed to how it sway, But the lard — our heavenly, fat, her — her alone Wee Willow Bay.
In those far-off distant days, the New Criticism still ruled the critical roost, and, since I aspired to be taken seriously as a poet I wanted to cram every possible meaning into a line of poetry, commiting nuance even with my punctuation. I began to critically examine the text of a hymn, to take it apart as verse, to notice how often our Latter-day Saint hymns resorted to half-rhymes like "Word" and "Lord." None of that for Evan Stephens. With typical Welsh obduracy, he rhymed his hymns straight, although, as we shall see, that is not the Welsh way. But, with his shining example, I, to this day, cannot sing, say, "I Believe in Christ" with a straight face, not because of the funereal tune, but because the verse is so poor.
Sometimes, as I grew older, I would twist a hymn to suit the political temper of the time, like this version from the days of war in Vietnam (I was a grad student at the University of Washington at the time, and the radicals there made Berkeley look positively right-wing):
Behold a Royal Army! A Royal Navy too! And even a Royal Air Force all coming after you! They're rank and filled with servicemen, united, bald and strong, And as they come to impress you they sing their joyful song: Victory, victory, is Syngman Rhee your brother? Victory, victory, is Ho Chi Minh your kin? Victory, victory, victory, is Ho Chi Minh, is Minh your kin?
My efforts in such political revision were not limited to hymn texts. I had, in fact, been doing a roaring trade in parodies of popular songs. Often these were just a line or two, like "The hills are alive, With the sounds of 'Moo-oo-oo, sick sick sick sick,'" which would never go any farther because I would bust up laughing each time I imitated the cow. Sometimes I would parody rock 'n' roll, but that was not much fun since most rock lyrics read like parodies already, as in:
Young girl, get out of my life! You're causing trouble, annoying my wife! Better run, girl! Still we had fun, girl — I'm so well-hung, girl — Till the night that you cried, Wo wo wo
But the apex of my mastery of the popular song has to be a little number I call "Jungle Bells," again brought on — and made relatively impossible to avoid — by my absence from the war in Vietnam:
A year or so ago, I thought I'd take a ride. I got into my Huey with my gunner by my side. We strafed on down the beach, lit up a little pot, Missed Charlie hiding in a tree and sure we got upsot. Oh, Kill kill kill, kill kill kill, kill them Viet Cong! Waste them gooks with napes and nukes and hustle peace along. Kill kill kill, kill kill kill, kill them till they quit. Pacify them till they die and shoot a little shit.
After that, most hymn parodies seemed innocuous. I left graduate school behind in Seattle, moved to Utah, and settled into a life of quiet librarianship. So when I moved to Orem, the parody that Kerry Neilsen taught me seemed positively genteel by comparison, but it did come from his father, and fathers never really dare what their younger selves aspired to:
High on a mountain top, A badger killed a squirrel. Ye nations now come up There's food for all the world.
His father, who, like him, came from Oak City, blessed even me with that one. It must have been the moderating influence of having a socialist like James E. Faust for a neighbor, but that one even sticks to a gospel theme. I forgive Kerry, however, because he forever redeemed Mother's Day for me with the following words of wisdom and gratitude:
M is for the Many things she gave me, O is for the Other things she gave. T is for the, Things, she gave me, H is for the Heaps of things she gave. E is for Everything she gave me, R is for the Rest of things she gave. Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER," A word that means Every Thing to me.
And then there are the ones I mess with just out of perversity. These usually begin with a simple change, like a swapping of syllables or words that suddenly open up a text, such as "Meat be with you till we piece again." That led me to imagine two flies laying eggs in a raw steak at the foot of the cross, singing rather than buzzing as they worked:
Till we me-e-eat, Till we me-e-eat, Till we meat, at Jesus' feet. Till we meat!
These, as with the pop lyrics, never go anywhere either. I have sometimes wondered whether my tendency to this kind of parody is a general feud with God for not being able to sing. I can bring an entire ward to tears just by singing loud enough to be heard. And I hold a grudge for a long time: I still sing "You who unto Jesus" while everyone else is singing "Who unto the Savior" because "You who unto Jesus" was the first song lyric that every made sense to me (a relative merit because the picture I have from this effort of youth is of my mother standing at the side of the road, in an apron for preparing dinner, waving.) Wouldn't you, too, call out and wave to Jesus if you saw him across the road?
Nowadays I sing hymns sitting next to a football coach who tries very hard to sing bass well. He played as a defensive tackle, and a very good one, too. I try to sing basso antifundo next to him, hitting the low notes that resonate well in my puny chest as he shakes the stand with his voice. It would never occur to me to sing the following lyrics sitting next to him, not because he might hit me over the head with a hymnbook (and certainly not to avoid another affront to poor Evan Stephens, even if in the general spirit of our Welsh forebears) but because he genuinely likes the youth:
Shall the youth of Zion falter? Will they even get a choice? Should the youth of Zion falter, what would we hear from their voice? No! False to the faith that our fathers have cherished False to the faith for which barters have perished To God's command, soul, heart and hand Faithless and false, we would always call halts.
I probably don't need to tell you by now that I'm not very good at parodies, which is why I've never published any of these — unlike such an accomplished satirist as Paul Toscano with his entire book of hymn parodies, of which I would gladly share the title were I not stuck in Pacific Grove without the bulk of my books, which I left back in Utah.
But speaking of my Welsh forebears (a clutch of Joneses and Lloyds in my mother's mother's line), having spent a few hours blogging about Old English prosody I am next going to venture into discussing the effect on English verse of Welsh metrical discipline, partly because it appears to have been as profound as the effect on the English language of Welsh grammar. I will take as my guide Rolfe Humphries's fine 1956 book Green Armor on Green Ground, in which he strives to produce in English "poems in the Twenty-four Official Welsh Meters, and Some, in Free Meters, on Welsh Themes" (as his subtitle has it). If you order right now, you can get your copy delivered from an online vendor and read the entire book before I come back.
One thing I have learned from writing this particular post is that, of all my fears, I most fear being parodied by someone like me, which is why — along with general editorial reluctance — I have published so few of my poems. But hold on, I hear you say, isn't this exposure to parody a risk shared by all poets?

Booth: W-2239 Pavilion: Tooling & Workholding Systems
7752 Moller Road
Indianapolis, IN 46268
Connect with Us Online:
reCool Retrofit Coolant-Through System
The retrofit reCool® coolant-through system provides a quick, cost-effective and low-maintenance way to bring the benefits of internal cooling to the live tooling used in CNC turning operations.
reCool, which converts an existing tooling system to include through-coolant in as little as two minutes, is much more effective in getting coolant to the cutting edge than spray pipes or nozzles. It achieves standard speeds up to 12,000 rpm and pressures up to 1,000 psi. Higher speeds and coolant pressures are available upon request.
By adding reCool to their CNC turning operations, manufacturers can easily remove heat from the cutting zone and achieve better surface finishes, longer tool life, improved chip control and increased productivity overall.
With reCool, live tools featuring external threads (ISO 15488/DIN 6499) can machine faster and last longer. The system also works in conjunction with REGO-FIX collets, sealing and coolant flush disks, milling cutters and drills with diameters from 0.098" to 1.2". Furthermore, because of its simple structure and special lubricated bearings, reCool serves as an affordable, low-maintenance internal cooling system.
REGO-FIX, the company that pioneered and patented the original ER collet system, develops accurate, consistent and stable toolholders for a broad spectrum of industries and applications.
The company's products, which include the powRgrip® system, ER collet system and Swiss automatic holders, work together interchangeably, resulting in the flexibility to create solutions that provide the industry's best precision, balancing and tool life.
REGO-FIX manufactures all of its toolholders in a state-of-the-art, ISO-certified facility in Switzerland. In fact, it is one of the few companies in the world to produce its own collets. Weekly shipments from the manufacturing facility to a large product warehouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, mean North American customers can expect a 98% same-day fulfillment rate on all orders.

This is the speed adjust buckle version of the popular Black Diamond Primrose AL. If you like adjustable legs loops and self-locking (aka speed adjust) buckles, this is a great value and a great first harness. It is comfortable, has easy to clip rigid gear loops, clever features, and costs $55. You have to spend a good deal more money to get just minor improvements in weight, comfort, or features.
You will probably go many years before buying another harness, and this is a perfect all-around harness that can be used for any kind of climbing. If you want a very style-specific harness, you may want to look at others, such as the Black Diamond Xenos for ice climbing or the Petzl Hirundos for sport climbing. For the ultimate women's sport climbing harness, you can shell out another $15 for the Black Diamond Siren or an extra $50 for the Black Diamond Aura, but in the end the Primrose SA will be more comfortable, more versatile, weighs the same, and comes at a more attractive price. Only the Mammut Ophira and the AL version of this harness are less expensive. You will have to decide if the $15 extra you pay for the Primrose SA is worth it.

Using Black Diamond's redesigned leg loop adjustment system, this harness manages to be surprisingly lightweight and inexpensive for a fully- featured and duly-adjustable harness.
Performance ComparisonComfortWith a wide waist belt, the Primrose SA is comfortable to hang in and load with gear. It uses Black Diamond's weight-reducing Dual Core construction in tandem with an OpenAir insert, which uses two slim bands of webbing on the outer edges of the belt, and then incorporates a foam piece in the center with holes for additional breathability. Topped off with a mesh outer fabric on the center of the belt, the harness is surprisingly breathable for its width. The waist belt does not have any uncomfortable pressure points and fits snugly and securely high on the body. The gear loops are appropriately positioned for easy reach to the front and back loops, unlike both models of Petzl harnesses, which have frustratingly far away rear gear loops. This allows for comfortable use in all positions encountered while climbing. Climbing StyleThe Primrose is a great all-around harness that works well in any climbing application. The comfortable waist belt and easy to clip rigid gear loops make loading the harness with gear for multi-pitch trad climbs just as easy as racking up for a single pitch sport climb. The one feature it lacks is a loop for ice tool holders, so it will not cross-over to winter use as easily as the Petzl Selena or Petzl Luna. Ease of UseThree primary features on this harness make it stand out as an easy to use harness: the speed-adjust buckle, the gear loops, and the adjustable leg loops. Having a pre-threaded speed adjust buckle means that you don't have to worry about doubling back the waist belt every time you put it on. The gear loops are encased in hard plastic, leaving them rigid and standing out from the side of your harness. This makes them very easy to clip gear to and unclip gear from, though they are not as comfortable if wearing a pack and a harness at the same time. The newest update to this harness included the addition of the trakFIT leg loop system. Rather than a buckle, this system consists of a plastic slider on the leg loops that moves easily around the leg loop to adjust the size quickly and effortlessly. The slider is small and light, and does not need to be double-backed, so it adds almost no weight or complication to the harness, while allowing it to fit women of all proportions. WeightWhen we weighed in our women's harnesses, we were actually quite surprised: the Primrose SA weighed in the exact same as the Black Diamond Siren, which is supposed to be an ultra-light sport climbing harness. At 11.84 ounces, both are extremely light. However, the Primrose is far more comfortable and versatile with no extra bulk holding you down, and still costs $15 less than the Siren. Best ApplicationThis is a great all around harness or first harness. It works well in the gym, at sport crags or on multi-pitch climbs. It is a comfortable, easy to wear harness in any application. ValueThis is one of the best values in harnesses with speed adjust leg loops. You only have to pay another $5 over the Black Diamond Primrose AL to get the speed adjust waist buckle, which we find to be worth it for the added convenience and safety. This harness is durable enough to last you years and versatile enough to be used for anything, increasing its worth, which is why we give it our Best Buy Award. To further maximize your dollars, you can buy the Primrose SA package, with includes this harness, a chalk bag, and a belay device and locking biner, for a total of $100. This is an excellent buy for someone just getting started in the sport of climbing. ConclusionThis harness was tough competition for our Editor's Choice award. It is inexpensive while still ebing light and fully-featured. Other VersionsThere are many versions of the Momentum/Primrose line including the Black Diamond Momentum, Black Diamond Momentum SA, Black Diamond Momentum AL and the women's version: Black Diamond Primrose AL. The main difference between the Primrose SA and AL is that the SA has a Speed-Adjust buckle, while the AL does not.They all share similar padding and gear loops but use different waist and leg tightening systems. They are vary in cost. How to Adjust this Harness— McKenzie Long Compare this product side-by-side to top competitors >

...to want to slit your wrists in front of your own mother?
I'm tired of being not good enough for her, and the object of her fury. I'm tired of getting yelled at ever fucking day for the dumbest fucking reasons.
She just hates me, I know it.
I really want to blow my brains out in front of her, or slit my wrists and bleed out in front of her, just so she can live with the image for the rest of her life.
Violent fantasies. I've had them since... as long as I can remember. I'm sure that's not good at all, but what can I do about it? I wish I could afford a therapist, because I really need one.
I'd talk to a school councelor, but there's no confidentiality if your main focus of thought is suicide. I know from experience.
What people don't understand it that I really don't think I'm suicidal, my mind just has no filter for violent fantasies. When I hit a real low, it's all I think of, but I've never even gone as far as even cutting.
Except once, but it wasn't like, trying to kill myself cutting. I carved into the back side of my arm, near my elbow.
And it wasn't exactly satisfying.
I'm more of a, listen to Slipknot and scream kind of person.
Or a, have sex kinda person.
Yep. I could really use a visit to my old... uhm... 'friend' 's house. She always makes me feel better. :D
And my creative outlet is going down the tubes. I haven't been able to draw or paint since the summer break started. Which is horrible, because my gramma's b-day is this weekend, and she wants me to paint her a big picture.
It's killing me, because I really want to do something for her, but I can't find any inspiration! D:
:\ i know how that feels. & it'll pass. but, yeah, Slipknot always helped me. usually i listen to A7X or Story of the Year... but either way, loud music is awesome.
& i know this is slightly random, and i may come off a bit weird... but maybe paint your gram a portrait of her, when she was younger (if you have a picture or something)?
I'm not very good with realism.
I had a basic idea of what I wanted to do, I just can't get it on the paper.
i haaaatee that.
it happens to me more than it should...
story of my life...that's y i'll only ever be an artist in my head. i can *never* get what i'm visualizing onto paper.
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
Yeah I know what you mean. I'm the type of person who gets an idea, and then looks over someone's shoulder as they put it on paper for me so they get it exactly the way I want it.
If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer."
exactly! i have an artist friend so if it's something i really need drawn i have her do it...i'm such a great friend, NOT. lol
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
i ahve thoughts like that all the time, wanting to die just to make other ppl feel guilty.
if you thinck, what people criticize other on the most, is where there own biggest faults are, so before you complain about other people, thinck"am i struggling in the exact same area?"

Sporting aggression more common in opponents of a similar ability than in contests between unequal teams – "The same is also true of aggressive contests between individuals in the animal kingdom, whether it is rutting deer stags or quarrelsome Siamese fighting fish. Now scientists believe they have found evidence for the same trait in competing groups of sportsmen."

too many politically correct people (erroneously) assume that hbd'ers are racists (in the bad sense of the word) or supremacists or neo-nazis who have eeeeeevil intentions.
not me. and not a lot of other hbd'ers either, i think.
to get an idea of where i'm coming from, just read james crow's "Unequal by nature: a geneticist's perspective on human differences." i agree whole-heartedly with everything he wrote in that article — 110%. here's a little excerpt:
"It is important for society to do a better job than it now does in accepting differences as a fact of life. New forms of scientific knowledge will point out more and more ways in which we are diverse. I hope that differences will be welcomed, rather than accepted grudgingly. Who wants a world of identical people, even if they are Mozarts or [Michael] Jordans?
"A good society ought to provide the best kind of environment for each person and each population. We already do this in part. We give lessons to musically gifted children. We encourage athletes and give them special training (and sometimes dubious drugs). Students elect courses according to their abilities and interests. We have special classes for those with disabilities, and such classes are becoming more specific as the causes of the disabilities are understood.
"We cannot, of course, tailor-make a special environment for every individual, but we can continue to move in this direction. Finding a genetic basis for a trait doesn't mean that environment is unimportant. Indeed, more environmental influences on the human organism are constantly being discovered, often through genetic studies.
"A test of our democratic institutions will be the degree to which people can accept all our differences and find ways to fit them into a smooth-working, humanitarian society. And I argue that we should strive not only for maximum personal satisfaction but for maximum contribution; each of us owes society the fruits of our special gifts. I believe strongly that research into the genetic and environmental causes of human differences should continue and be supported. The newer procedures brought about by molecular advances and computers will greatly accelerate discoveries.
"I believe that knowledge, even unpleasant knowledge, is far preferable to ignorance. I hope that American society can be less fearful of learning the truth about biological inequalities and more courageous in using discoveries in ways that are humanitarian and promote human welfare."
couldn't have said it better myself.
(note: comments do not require an email. we're all inequal. yay!)
presumably at least half of the searches for "human biodiversity" in california were done by steve sailer … and another quarter or so by dennis mangan …. (~_^)

Sorry but No but I always wanted to READ LOVELESS!!!!!!!! Is it awesome!!!!!? Huh? Huh?
Click here to see the image
I just bought volume one yesterday, I am already done and ready for volume two . It was so good...I loved it so much. My favorite character as of now is Ritsuka (of course >_<) I was wondering if anyone else has read...I am assuming many people have considering it's pretty popular. Questions or comments anyone? ^-^

Dear Dinah...
Sorry but No but I always wanted to READ LOVELESS!!!!!!!! Is it awesome!!!!!? Huh? Huh?
「When I'm sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead」

Dear Dinah...
Did you also know that there is an anime out as well, It's a 3 disk set , but the manga dose go further than the anime dose.
Ive read 3 volumes, and I agree that it is very good. The characters are very interesting, and the art is very pretty. I cant wait to find out what happens next
loveless is a great manga because its a mixture of mystery and suspense (well 2 me anywayz) the characters can be complex sometimes but thats what makes it great along w/ the awesome artwork, very detailed
I've read Loveless the books and online scanlations and it is really good! it is a good story line and "a story of searching for Love and Trust" can't remember who i heard say that tho...

Remember Me
AUDIENCE: KCSDV member advocates, Outreach Alliance members, faith community members, and other allied professionals.
Hosted by: KCSDV's Outreach Alliance
Presented by:
Rev. Dr. Anne Marie Hunter,Director, Safe Havens Interfaith Partnership Against Domestic ViolenceRev. Traci Jackson Antoine, Rural Project Coordinator, Safe Havens Interfaith Partnership Against Domestic Violence
Sexual and domestic violence affects victims in body, mind, AND spirit. For rural victims, faith leaders and faith communities are sometimes the most important element in their understanding of their situation and their responses to it. Many victims and survivors turn to their faith communties for help and hope. Even in cases in which a victim does not disclose to anyone, a faith community could be an avenue for accessing resources or information (for example, from a poster in the restroom, a hotline number in the weekly bulletin, or a brochure in the library). As trusted leaders in the community, faith leaders are uniquely located to respond to victims of sexual and domestic violence. A partnership with local domestic and sexual violence service providers can help to ensure that the responses of faith leaders to victims are safe and empowering. In this webinar, we'll dig deeper into this notion of partnership, name barriers and challenges, and explore how advcoates and faith leaders can build and strengthen trusting partnerships. We'll also look at some resources that Safe Havens has recently developed. The goal is to minimize the ways in which faith is a barrier to safety and maximize the ways in which faith is a resource.

This is how to avoid working overtime on muscle zx90. I am not completely lost when it is on par with this. Muscle zx90 is mainly relative to muscle zx90. No one is watching out for you but you. I will make that my habit going forward. I do wish that I could ramble endlessly as that concerns muscle zx90.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many different roles we have as dads? Some are fun, and some are serious. But in the end, they are all important and being a dad means we are more than happy to do these jobs… even if they pay stinks.
Once Little A was old enough to play with lego, I became lead designer and builder of towers, bridges, and whatever else popped into her little mind. This is great because I love playing with lego, and Little A likes to smash things. Its win, win.
But after a while, my basic tower design were not enough. She demanded more elaborate towers. Her appetite for bigger and better towers turned into a battle against myself to constant approve and innovate until we reached the structural limits of lego as a pointy multicolored shower of plastic crashed to the floor.
Fashion Consultant
CleverMom is very particular in what she wants the girls to wear. This is usually fine as she picks out the girl's clothes 90% of the time. But when she is busy, or isn't home it's up to dad.
If it was up to me I would close my eyes, reach into their dresser and pull out the first shirt and pair of pants I touch. According to my wife this is wrong. Very very wrong. You see, CleverMom is a clothing freak when it comes to the girls. She has her favorite outfits, not so favorite outfits, and what the hell were you thinking outfits.
With so much pressure and judgment over picking the 'wrong' pink shirt, or the jeans with the purple flower over the pair with no flower, I've had to adapt and overcome my fashion blindness. So what do I do? Keep it simple. Now is not the time to get fancy. And if the wife disapproves of my choice, I blame it on Little A. (Don't look at me, she picked the purple skirt and red sweater!)
Art Critic
Sooner or later your kids will wanting to draw color on every piece of paper within reach. (If you're lucky, this will be the only thing they color on.)
So you buy them a pack of crayons and a stack of paper. Finally, something quiet they can do on their own and keep them in one place for more than 10 minutes. But there is a catch. Your kids will show you every piece of art and expect you to comment and know exactly what they drew. "That's a nice… house?" "It's a kitty, daddy!"
Even if you can't tell if it's an elephant or a penguin, appreciate it for what it is…. Art.
Professional Wrestler
Trying to change a shitty diaper on a flailing baby is physically exhausting. Pinning their legs with one arm. Pulling off the diaper with the other. Cleaning their butt with your foot. And eventually fastening the diaper with your teeth.
And then there is trying to put pajamas on a cranky toddler! It's like holding onto a pissed off cat. They will scale over your shoulders, hang off your legs, and contort their bodies in ways that defies all logic.
After having quite a few heated pajama battles with Little A, I am confident to say that I could even put pajamas on Hulk Hogan if I had to.

Something about this really reminds me of those illuminated typefaces you get in fairy tales. Beautiful work.
Catherine, thanks for the comment! I was so surprised and excited to see him there. I took a screen shot!!
Thanks, Noel! We had a bunny nest in our yard last summer, and the babies were so still you could creep right up to them and they'd watch you, but never move. I didn't try to touch one though!

Caddo Parish, LA (KMSS) — A teller at a local credit union was arrested for theft and forgery after an audit showed she stole over $11,000, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.
Sherita Gibson was employed by Northwest Louisiana FCU where she altered accounting logs and forged customers' signatures to fictitious withdrawal slips to conceal the theft. Gibson is accused of stealing $11,600. A surprise audit showed the cash shortage.
Gibson, 52, of Bossier City, was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center following an investigation by Sheriff's Detective Bobby Herring with the Caddo-Shreveport Financial Crimes Task Force.

"30% interesting story, 70% philosophical musing"
This book has buried in it a very interesting story with tasty titbits of history, botany, psychology, general fun and beautiful language, but to get to those one needs to listen through mostly bland and always lengthy philosophical ramblings. I am all in favour of moulding the language into beautiful form for sheer listening pleasure, but in the case of, say, Bill Bryson - I want to rewind and listen again, while in this case I itch to hit fast-forward, but then I might miss the small tasty part in the middle, so I don't.
If only I could split this book into two parts - captivating story and boring philosophy, and listen to just the first one...
The narrator's performance is excellent, but I don't know how he managed to get through those passages without falling asleep, which makes it even more commendable.
"Long-winded and boring"
I happened to start listening to this book after listening to a few of The Great Courses lectures on language by John McWorther, which were excellent - both interesting and entertaining.
This book, in comparison, sounds almost like a textbook on linguistics. The concepts a much belaboured on, with excruciating details of the experiments conducted, complete with tedious and long explanations of what it means; when most people would get it themselves early into the passage.
"interesting detailed account of bomber operations"
It felt to me more like a selective account of operations written as a book for enjoyment, rather than literary work, with plots, storyline, etc., but it was interesting and enjoyable regardless of that.
Many interesting anecdotes and details are mentioned, together with irrelevant to general reader squadron and air force numbers.
The book certainly helps appreciate the dangers and difficulties of operating WWII bombers.
When I tried to find out more about the episode in the book where a B-24 signalled surrender to escorting German fighters and then treacherously shot them out of the sky - I could only find a post by a former B-24 pilot saying that there was no evidence of it ever happening and explaining how the myth came about. I felt that the book was a bit under-researched.
"The title actually lives up to its name"
I bet not many people know the history of drinks they have every day. The book is well structured with many fascinating and little known facts about most popular beverages. I you listen to a small random segment, you wouldn't know it is about beer/wine/etc. In short, the content is very interesting for those who like trivia, history and such. I couldn't believe how much the history of drinks was intertwined with general history.
Now about performance - there wasn't any. Just reading. I couldn't help thinking that the narrator ran a marathon after a few days of sleep deprivation before turning up to the recording studio. Eventually I got used to the monotonous and sleepy narration, but the book suffered from the "performance".
"just couldn't stop"
I had to psyche myself up for a 57 hour listen, but there was no need to - once started, I just couldn't stop. Everyone knows (or should know) the basic history of WWII, but this book is so rich with fascinating details, episodes, personality portraits, etc. that it sounds nothing like a history textbook.
The narration style is such that the story just effortlessly unfolds, and I was hanging on to every word, rewinding if I didn't couldn't hear a sentence or a phrase.
The narrator's performance is brilliant, I could "hear" words in quotes and the mood was well represented.
The whole 57 hours felt like an adventure story, replete with moments when history could have taken a different turn, if only...
No, because I would know what happened and this book reads like a good detective story that should not be spoiled.Also, it made me angry in many places, for good reason.
The episode that describes the rivalry between SEC regional offices and accompanying complete lack of any care on SEC part. I couldn't believe it was real.
Real recording of New York senator (or congressman?) grilling SEC reps at the hearing.
At the beginning the book felt a bit like author was settling old scores, but that feeling evaporated after the episode when one of the people well described in the book committed suicide.
Frequently through listening to the book I couldn't help thinking:
"riveting and scary"
Even if you watched "13 Days" (I did, and liked it), listen to this book. It has accurate, well researched account of events, some less known facts and very little idle speculation.
The historical facts are presented well, with just enough details to keep the listener interested, and the narration is superb.
"interesting, and makes sense"
It was an interesting and intriguing experience.
The good:
Author made a commendable effort to make complex scientific concepts easy to understand. I didn't feel like I was listening to a boring biology or nutrition textbook. There is a bit of drama, a few stories here and there and generally the book is interesting.
I am not an expert on the subject, but I like reading about science etc., and to my knowledge the book makes sense - human bodies evolved to handle certain foods, those bodies are complex organisms rather than simple objects governed by laws of physics, etc.
The not so good:
When author presented the evidence in support of a concept, I felt a bit bored after exhibit C, but it would go on to exhibit D, E, F and on and on. I could not (be bothered to) verify the evidence anyway, so two or three pieces of evidence was enough for me to trust the author.
This is not a diet book, it has no recipes or comprehensive lists of foods, it just explains things, and does it well - which is just what I wanted.
"interesting (and ambitious)"
This is a very interesting attempt to make a book on mathematics - a story in a style of
Although I am all in favour of math books without formulae, sometimes just a bare minimum is needed to illustrate a point. But how does one do it in an audio book? I found it a bit hard to follow some of the examples. Simple ones I could manage by drawing in my head, but with more complex ones I got quickly lost.

In the UK, T-Mobile is doing an end-run around British Telcom by offering dirt-cheap wireless voice and broadband service:
T-Mobile's plans involve using HSDPA to ramp up the data transfer rates of its 3G service from the current 384kbps to 1.8Mbps in 2006, and then onto 20Mbps by 2010. Better still, the service is completely open, and is offered at a flat rate of just

I'm paying Verizon $14.95 a month for DSL which has had a 99.99% uptime. I'm not generally a fan of the old school telcos, but I don't have any complaints about their DSL service.

Have you looked into either Sprint or Verizon Wireless' Broadband (EVDO) service? $40-$60 (if you have a voice plan with them) for unlimited access – I believe both offer EVDO in Atlanta.
Limitations are a rather high latency compared to landline WAN and upstream rates in the 70-100 kbps range. Downstream is in the 500-700 kbps range.
Glenn Reynolds has a verizon high-speed card and seems to be quite happy with it.
And it seamlessly falls back to the older 1xRTT (twice dialup) speeds in areas that are not covered by the EVDO signal.

I much prefer GSM for regular cell phone use, especially when travelling internationally (buy a local pre-paid SIM card whereever you are, and you don't pay for incoming calls). But my opinions are from the user end of things, he, unlike me, knows what he's talking about.

Because of the latency and assymetry, EVDO is expressly not suited to any realtime application, including VOIP. Says so right in the introductory literature. The standard was developed with web surfing in mind.
Any cellular network faces several bandwidth issues. The assymetry of EVDO is one way of dealing with available RF spectrum. The next issue is wireside bandwidth; the size of the pipe running to the cell site. For voice only, you can run a low volume site off a shared T-1, busy ones may take two or three. Start marketing broadband to the home and the requirement jumps. T-Mobile buys wireside from a nominal competitor; their infrastructure is BTSs and BSCs only. The investment to do here what they are doing in England would be absolutely massive if the current source of T-1 backs out.

By the way, altho EVDO falls back to 1xRTT seamlessly, it tends to stay there even when you get back into an EVDO sector.

I have a hard time believing that there is an economic model that works for HSDPA, except possibly in the richest neighborhoods in the world.
The current price per byte is high and the price per kilobyte staggering. That 20Mbps is practically the bandwidth of an entire tower, which is supposed to handle dozens of customers.
If you think $0.10 a minute is high, just try to wrap your brain around 12 or 20 times that price.

I'd be highly skeptical of the 'unlimited' part of the deal. Loads of people have run up against the limits of their supposedly 'unlimited' service. Usually the fine print says something like "except in the case of 'abusive bandwidth use'", and the definition of 'abusive' is whatever they say it is. So, where you see 'unlimited' it should read 'arbitrary, undisclosed, and capricious limits'.

I personally work with EVDO devices in my day job – I know ALL about the limitations. Some of which, admittedly, are carrier-implemented. Please note that some carriers are more lax than others when it comes to acceptable use. OTOH, the freaking cable companies have the exact same kind of BS "unlimited" usage (except if they decide you're abusing the privilege) limitations…
I don't use a EVDO device on my own time (I'm stuck on the older 1xRTT network due to device limitations exacerbated by carrier stupidity when I'm mobile) but it's still pretty nifty

I pay 9.99 euros (about $13) a month to T-Online here in Germany for DSL and unlimited online access. They throw in 2 hours of free Germany-wide land line phone calls on top of that.

We apply a Cantor completion process to construct a complete, non-Archimedean metric on the set of shape morphisms between pointed compacta. In the case of shape groups we obtain a canonical norm producing a complete, both left and right invariant ultrametric. On the other hand, we give a new characterization of movability and we use these spaces of shape morphisms and uniformly continuous maps between them, to prove an infinite-dimensional theorem from which we can show, in a short and elementary way, some known Whitehead type theorems in shape theory.

[Federal Register: August 5, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 149)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 38914-38916] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr05au09-12] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Bureau of the Census 15 CFR Part 30 [Docket Number: 090422707-9708-01] RIN 0607-AA48 Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): Eliminate the Social Security Number (SSN) as an Identification Number in the Automated Export System (AES) AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce Department. ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) is amending the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) to eliminate the requirement to report a Social Security Number (SSN) as an identification number when registering to file and filing electronic export information in the Automated Export System (AES) or AESDirect. Under the current regulations, the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) or U.S. authorized agent residing or having an [[Page 38915]] office located in the United States is required to enter an Employer Identification Number (EIN), SSN, or Dun and Bradstreet Number (DUNS) when reporting export transactions in the AES or AESDirect. An SSN is used as an identification number principally by filers who are individuals. DUNS are available only to business entities, and EINs are available to both businesses and individuals. Upon implementation of this Interim Final Rule, if the USPPI or the U.S. authorized agent who resides or has an office located in the United States does not have an EIN, the USPPI, or U.S. authorized agent must obtain an EIN through the Internal Revenue Service's Web site. Former SSN filers who want to use a DUNS rather than an EIN for identification purposes, must first obtain an EIN from the IRS and apply to Dun & Bradstreet for a DUNS. This rule is being implemented to ensure that a USPPI's or U.S. authorized agent's SSN is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552a. DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective September 4, 2009. Implementation Date: The Census Bureau will implement provisions of this rule December 3, 2009. Comment Due Date: Comments on the interim rule should be submitted in writing to the address shown below on or before October 5, 2009 to be considered in the formation of the final rule. ADDRESSES: You may submit your comments to: William G. Bostic, Jr., Chief, Foreign Trade Division, U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, Room 6K032, Washington, DC 20233-6700; by telephone at (301) 763- 2255; by fax at (301) 763-6638; or by e-mail: email@example.com. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William G. Bostic, Jr., Chief, Foreign Trade Division, U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, Room 6K032, Washington, DC 20233-6700; by telephone at (301) 763-2255; by fax at (301) 763-6638; or by e-mail: email@example.com. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Census Bureau is responsible for collecting, compiling, and publishing export and import trade statistics for the United States under the provisions of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, Section 301(a). To implement this responsibility, the Census Bureau developed the Automated Export System \1\ (AES), an electronic filing system, to allow exporters to submit certain information directly with U.S. Customs Border and Protection (CBP) and the Census Bureau. The AES is also used for export control purposes to detect and prevent the export of certain items by unauthorized parties, destinations or end users. Under the FTR, 15 CFR 30.60(e), this information is exempt from public disclosure unless the Secretary of Commerce or his designee, the Director of the Census Bureau, determines that withholding such information would be contrary to the national interest under the provisions of Title 13, U.S.C., Chapter 9, Section 301(g). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ References to AES include the AESDirect, a free online version of the AES. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Through the AES, the Census Bureau collects Electronic Export Information (EEI), the electronic equivalent of the export data formerly collected on the Shipper's Export Declaration. EEI consists of data elements for an export shipment, and includes information such as the exporter's personal identifying information, which includes name, address and identification number, and detailed information concerning the exported product. Pursuant to the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) and guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Census Bureau is amending its regulations to discontinue the collection of the Social Security Number when reporting EEI through the AES or other authorized method. Upon implementation of this rule, the AES will no longer provide the option for using the Social Security Number as an identification number. All USPPIs and U.S. authorized agents who currently report a SSN when filing in the AES, because they do not have or use an EIN or DUNS number, must provide an EIN or DUNS number for identification purposes. EINs are available to both businesses and individuals and can be obtained by registering with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.irs.gov or by calling (800) 829- 4933 and following the instructions. A DUNS number is available only to business entities with EINs and is available for a fee at Dun and Bradstreet's Web site at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.dnb.com/us/. Regulatory Changes To ensure the confidentiality of the USPPI's and the U.S. authorized agent's personal information and to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB guidance, the Census Bureau is amending relevant sections of the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) to specify the requirements for the reporting of an EIN, or DUNS in place of a Social Security Number for identification purposes in the AES. The Census Bureau is amending the following sections of the FTR: |
