The book Fifty Shades of Grey has brought to the forefront of modern society and readers' minds the fact that some women (and men) enjoying BDSM play in their sex lives. Shocking, right? What sort of deviant wants to be spanked or tied up or told they're a "bad girl?" I'll tell you: about 60 percent of my friends — mostly women, but some men, too.
As with any book that explores a realm diverging from the mundane, there has been a lot of talk about not only the writing (apparently it sucks), but also the topic. While some are appalled by it, others, like myself, are just giving my fellow friends who enjoy some spanking action high fives. It's about time that a woman wanting to play the submissive role in the bedroom is portrayed in a light that makes it seem like a normal sex act, not something that goes on in a creepy S&M dungeon.
Enter anti-feminist and overall newbie to the concept (read: completely ignorant to the world to BDSM), Katie Roiphe. The Daily Beast hired Roiphe to write about Fifty Shades of Grey and the controversy surrounding it. As a woman who is very much against modern feminism, Roiphe has taken the opportunity to question feminists who enjoy BDSM.
Her stance on the topic is ridiculous and misses the point:
"Why is it so interesting to surrender, or to play at surrendering? It may be that power is not always that comfortable, even for those of us who grew up in it; it may be that equality is something we want only sometimes and in some places and in some arenas; it may be that power and all of its imperatives can be boring."
Women only sometimes want equality? Wrong, Roiphe. What she doesn't understand is that the fantasies and actions played out in one's bedroom have nothing to do with equality. It is a fantasy after all. Just because a woman enjoys being spanked or having her hair pulled mid-coitus doesn't mean she is giving up equality — it's simply a game she wants to play. In fact, it takes a real feminist, one who's comfortable in her own skin and who is aware of her position and power, to ask for fun stuff like this — and to enjoy it. The core part of feminism is being able to do what you want when you want and respect yourself for it. I would never allow a man who didn't see us as equals outside of my bedroom to indulge in rough play with me. Outside-the-bedroom equality doesn't just dissipate because of a fantasy.

We all have to make decisions about how to spend our time, energy, and money. Because of my happiness project, I now explicitly ask myself, "Will this decision make me happier?"
I'm determined to get the most happiness bang for the buck.
Here are some questions I consider:
1. Is this decision likely to strengthen my relationships with other people?
Strong relationships with other people are a key — the key — to happiness, so decisions that help me build or strengthen ties are likely to boost my happiness. Yes, it's a hassle and an expense to go to my college reunion, but it's likely to have a big happiness pay-off.

Best Manga of 2010
Posted in Manga News on December 28, 2010 by JohannaFor the purpose of this post, I'm using a highly idiosyncratic definition of "best", based mostly on what I looked forward to and enjoyed re-reading. (This year, given the economy, I also considered whether I'd buy series volumes sight unseen, whether I was entertained enough to feel they were worth gambling the money on.) I have a few subcategories, under which I've ranked a maximum of five titles, with #1 being best. Links take you to reviews of the titles.
Best New Manga
- All My Darling Daughters — A stunning exploration of women's lives and relationships by Fumi Yoshinaga, my favorite manga-ka. I don't think I've seen before in comics an exploration of how difficult it can be for mother and daughter to learn to relate as adults, each a person in her own right.
- Bunny Drop by Yumi Unita — Man adopts his previously unknown six-year-old aunt, and the two together learn to grow up. Wonderful in its diverse emotions, from the expected comedy through more poetic moments.
- Not Love But Delicious Foods — As I said in my review, it's as though this manga was created just for me. Another work by Fumi Yoshinaga, combining relationship observations with restaurant reviews and cracks about the comic business in Japan. Must reading for any of her yaoi fans for the chapter in which she apologizes to a gay man.
- A Drunken Dream & Other Stories — Fantagraphics enters the licensed manga business with an historically important overview of Moto Hagio's short shojo. You may also want to listen to our podcast on the book, where we talk about each chapter.
Runners-up in this category included Twin Spica, Saturn Apartments, Kingyo Used Books, and Chi's Sweet Home, but each had a caveat that made me think "not quite". Chi started in a way I didn't care for, for example, and Twin Spica changed directions a bit too often between science fiction and shojo classroom stories. Still, look at how many options there are for adult manga readers — not a shonen battle or schoolgirl romance in the bunch! Although there were plenty of fine examples of both out this year, too.
The single-volume anthology was a welcome trend of this year, and I hope we see more of them. It's a great way to see more of an author's work, and it's a pleasure to get such good value without signing on for a perhaps-lengthy series.
Best Continuing Manga
- Suppli — I finally twigged to this series by Mari Okazaki with this year's combined volume 4/5, and now I can't wait to read more of this working woman's love life. It well captures much of the pressures single women of a certain age feel.
- Nana — I'm assuming that the 21st volume, the last published both here and in Japan, won't be the last — I've got to know how the cliffhangers end and how the musicians settle into adulthood. Ai Yazawa has put the series on hold for some recuperation time, but I pray she returns better than ever. It's an astoundingly good soap opera with some heartbreakingly complex characters.
- Ooku: The Inner Chambers — I'm woefully behind writing about this Fumi Yoshinaga series, needing to catch up on all three volumes, books 3-5, that came out this year. It's because the historical alternative fiction is so complex in its relationships among the men kept for the shogun's pleasure that it deserves extra time and attention. The books out this year jump even further back in time to the establishment of the male harem, showing how quickly whims become tradition.
- Yotsuba&! — Thanks to Yen Press for continuing Kiyohiko Azuma's charming all-ages series, with books 8 and 9 out in 2010. Always a welcome reminder of the virtue of wide-eyed enthusiasm. It's too bad that we didn't have any volumes of Aria this year to keep it company.
- The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service by Eiji Otsuka and Housui Yamazaki — I rediscovered this series just recently, and I'm loving its black humor and zombie sense of justice. Best endnotes in the business, too, as adaptor Carl Gustav Horn is given reign to free associate. Volumes 10 and 11 came out this year.
Best Completed Manga
- Pluto — Heartbreaking in its achievement, I wish it could have gone on far longer than its eight books, but part of the skill demonstrated by Naoki Urasawa is knowing how to wrap things up. The best counter-argument to the idea that some stories are too silly to take seriously, it's astounding that this stunning contemplation of humanity is based on a kids' Astro Boy comic.
- Oishinbo a la Carte by Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki — Is hoping for more volumes of this foodie favorite, surveying the best of Japanese cuisine, futile? Seven just weren't enough, and the last book, covering Pub Food, is one of the best.
- The Name of the Flower — I'm glad CMX got Ken Saito's series completed (with the fourth volume) before it was ended as an imprint, and this mention is also in honor of their line. They were bringing out some particularly entertaining titles just before the end, which made their closing all the more disappointing.
- High School Debut — The final thirteenth volume got back to the fun and appeal of this light-hearted romance by Kazune Kawahara about a tomboy and her "love coach".
- Flower in a Storm — My love for this romantic adventure, only two books, by Shigeyoshi Takagi didn't seem to be widely shared, but I thought it was a hoot, just the kind of escapism I like.
Honorable Mentions and Guilty Pleasures
The most fun I had with manga this year was Manga Out Loud, the podcast started by site contributor Ed Sizemore. My thanks to him for inviting me to co-host while he does all the work, arranging some excellent conversations with a wonderful group of guests.
I don't pretend any of these other series are great art, but I do enjoy reading them every time a new book appears: Inubaka: Crazy for Dogs put out volumes 15-17; Sand Chronicles completed the main story in books 7 and 8 with a side volume 9 also released; and Otomen had four books out, 5-8. I also liked Bakuman much more than some, enjoying the look inside the Japanese manga industry.
In my Best of 2008, I had a "Most Disappointing" category, and I did some "griping" in my Best of 2009, but this year, nothing struck me as unpleasant enough to even bring it up. I'm doing better at not wasting my time with the stuff that's not that good, I guess. With so much wonderful work out, why not focus on the enjoyable and accomplished?

12/28/2010 at 9:35 PMJohanna & Ed,
The episodic nature of it does get tiring after a while, especially when you're 2 + volumes in and every chapter begins with a brief explanation that Natsume can see yokai. So I can understand why someone might be turned off by it. Oddly enough even despite it being episodic it still manages to weave a nice little story together.
Anyway I think my love for it comes from how each individual story makes me feel. I won't lie, I've almost cried a few times after finishing certain chapters, which is embarrassing as a guy. There's one particular story in volume 3 or 4 about a yokai who (kid) Natsume thought was a woman, when the other kids couldn't see her he started to ignore her. In response to this she started to play tricks on him until one day she knocked him down on accident and he ran off, he moved away before she could apologize. Even though it ends on a happy note it still got me.
I guess I'm just a sap for stories about regret and abandonment. Besides that though I really love the lore behind yokai in general. Even if Midorikawa's yokai are all made up it's still fascinating and completely different from what I generally think ghosts and spirits are. My love for the manga also comes from the anime, which I watched before Viz licensed the manga in NA, which stays true to the source material. One thing the anime does have the upper hand in though is that it doesn't feel episodic.
Sorry for the rambling, was harder to actually pin point why I like it then I thought.
No apology needed. Each of us connect to a series differently and that's why no two top ten list are the same. I'm glad you've found a series that moves you so deeply. In the end, that's the reason we read. Thanks for sharing.

:D Me, I liked All My Darling Daughters and Saturn Apartments, and haven't read the rest above.
"…Suppli — I finally twigged to this series by Mari Okazaki with this year's combined volume 4/5, and now I can't wait to read more of this working woman's love life…"
I like how it's about both her love life and her work life. :) Also, 10 volumes and an "Extra" volume exist/
"…Nana — I'm assuming that the 21st volume, the last published both here and in Japan, won't be the last…"
Maybe some more chapters were serialized since the latest volume and just haven't been collected yet…
…[briefly searches web]…
…chapters 81 through 84 have been released. That's enough for at least a 22nd volume.
"…Ooku: The Inner Chambers — I'm woefully behind writing about this Fumi Yoshinaga series, needing to catch up on all three volumes, books 3-5, that came out this year.

Speaking of flashbacks, pay careful attention during vol. 5. ;) Also, vol. 6 exists.

That's what your Best Manga of 2010 list can be for. Go for it! :)

It's so hard for me to contribute because it seems with me I always seem to be tracking down older jewels that I missed when they were first coming out. My "older jewel" discoveries of this year were Aria, The Kindaichi Case Files, Parasyte, Great Teacher Onizuka, and Solanin. My favorite continuing series are Skip Beat!, Rasetsu, Bakuman, Angel Diary, Higurashi When They Cry, Inubaka, Yotsuba, and Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. My favorite new series are Otodama Voice From The Dead, Bunny Drop, and Kingyo Used Bookstore. The series I REALLY like but have fallen behind on are Berserk, Future Diary, and 20th Century Boys.
Basically I suck at narrowing "my favorites" down and I'll realize I forgot to mention something when I go home and stare at my shelves.

Man, tough loss. I was keeping an eye on the score throughout and it looked like a close game. I watched the last 6 minutes of the game, and it looks like we just ran out of steam. Wow, Gordon 1-16 shooting! He won't have too many of those nights. I say Dallas barely avoided an embarrassment (which is what would've been for them if we had won). I've seen Jonas guarding Kidd to close the game. He looked like he did an ok job there. Has anyone seen the rest of the game? How did he look defensively overall? His stat line is not all that great.
This is definitively BITTERSWEET. I tuned in just hoping they could compete hard and challenge, especially on the back end of an away-home back2back that they had to fight to win. My expectations were met, yet as the boys looked really good in the 1st half, my expectations were raised to hoping for a victory. ben shot 1-16, OUCH, Charlie was dead legs, but rebounded EXTREMELY WELL down the strtech. Our rebounding and defense down the stretch was fantastic, we had a chance, and can we really ask for anything more. Stuckey played his best game, I've never seen him look more comfortable and in control as I did tonight, he very well may be putting it together. Will, I'd ink him to an extension NOW, his price just keeps going up, and up, and up going into a summer where a bunch of teams have plenty of cap space. Wish we would've won this game, but hey JJ got some burn, Daye got some burn, Stuckey got better, Charlie turned in his best rebounding and defensive performance as a Piston-could he be getting a clue? Lot of good things happened tonight that we can build off of. Worse play of the game (Had me FURIOUS ) Stuckey takes the J, misses, goes down with a cramp, and not one MUTHA&#%@! teammate took a foul for him and Dallas cans a trey....just *#*!% STUPID, but the good point about it, Bynum acknowledged it in his post game interview, so maybe they learned a valuable lesson.
Gee, you could kind of tell which team was fresh, and which just played a tight game the night before. Except for Stuckey, who was having a marvelous game right up to the time he went down with a leg cramp. CV and Ben Gordon were way off tonight. So Bynum steps in and almost hits 30 for us. JMAX continues to play the D. Kuester continues to play Kwame as an asset to the other team. Jerebko got lots of burn, Daye some too, so the night was not totally wasted. Listened to the coach get interviewed before the game. He basically said he can't follow his own game plan about resting players in a back to back situation. Heat of the moment thing. Nope, that is just a bad coach who can't watch his players minutes on a back to back. If he does not admit his failures, he will never learn. Stuckey was awesome, hitting outside shots all nite, and getting inside over and over - and finishing. Ben Wallace was great on D, and even hit a couple of buckets that he usually does not get. Both were as time was running out - one a decent range jumper and the 2nd a kind of hook from maybe 8 feet out or so. Way too many turns for sure. But I will take that along with lots of aggressiveness. Dallas had to get some pretty good shots there at the end from Dirk to get this win. Just my opinion, but Kuester has lots of options other than riding Stuckey into the ground. How about bringing in Bynum a bit earlier for instance. I can't imagine how that would hurt us any. Follow his own game plan. Great, entertaining game for sure. But no, I would not be writing much of anything different win or lose. What happened happened regardless of outcome. In an 82 game season, one game won or lost will not make much of a difference. But losing a player to injury can ruin a season. How many players is Kuester going to go after in the name of playing for the moment?
I couldn't watch the game.. so I won't write too much about it. But 1-16 from BG.. I hope NEVER have to see that again! NEVER Bynum's 27 points sounds impressive. ------------- One thing.. 12 total teams assists ??? What is happening here?? We need to pass the ball more!
as someone stated earlier, had bengo not shot 1-16, the ast total would be higher. Also, When Stuckey and Bynum CLEARLY have their man beat off the dribble, they SHOULD shoot the ball, these guys were actually beating their man and the help defense to the hole tonight, it was nothing short of spectacular.
This game has me thinking, these guys are special, it's like Cola's first year all over again. Think about tonight's game: we're supposedly re-building we have a 35 year old undersized starting center Rip and Tay are out it's the 2nd night of a back2Back we were on the road last night, while they rested in Detroit Last night bengo and Stuckey both played just under 45mins, CV-39mins and Old Man Wallace logged 31mins tonight our $90M assets combine to shoot 7-32 and score just 18 pts. Stuckey and Gordon had 9 TO's between them Yet we damn near won, and not a fluke win either, we stood toe to toe with these cats. Nobody knows how good this team is.
Funny thing about the positions of life and where they take you. A whole-lota-simi-tweaks ending in much amazement out of the great chain of being. Herrmann went through a host of personal tragedies. His talent in the NBA was wasted...welcome aboard. He had the hands and a slightly less hang time of the Dr. Oh yes, he was a better three point shooter. Out of thirty, in this present diluted NBA talent level, he would be the great 6 th man on at least 15 teams. For sure, he has gone outward and forward. Make no mistake, this was a voluntary acceptance. Can you hear something called personal and positive outsourcing. Good for him and his new family.
We do have a lot of talent. That's why I thought we would win 50 games. Of course that was before losing Prince for the season. With no injuries the Pistons probably would be 7-3 now instead of 5-5.
End of a back-to-back against a pretty good team. They competed, and nearly won. Hell, they beat the vegas line. I'm impressed with this game more than beating MEM or CHA. Every game on the upcoming 4-game WC trip that they compete in, I will be impressed with. By the way, I'm not at all convinced they'd have a better record with rip and tay playing right now. Anyway, I'm just hoping they squeeze out 1 win on this trip.
A lot of good to take away from a bad game. This team is the anti-if-it-ain't rough it ain't right team. Stuckey was great but he needs to be willing to pass more. BG only had 6 shots. It's hard to get in the flow of the game when you aren't touching the ball.
My point was that head of Marc Cuban was offered on silver plate but it was rejected. Dallas played poorly, it does not happen more than once per month. And for winning two starters had to play not even average but even below average game yet they managed play even worse. That was the irritating point for me. God thanks that orlando had one pretty poor game and Pistons reaped from it. For this team wins are hard to come. The fact that Q was "going back to work" and players, labeled prevoiusly as "poor defenders" have jumped on this ship has been the biggest positive surprise so far. And I hope that Q is sane and gave next day off.
If you had asked me to predict a final score after seeing the ease that Dallas moved the ball and got easy shots in the first 2-3 minutes of the game I would have said Dallas by 20. I agree with Basketballs that Gordon should be getting more than 16 shots per game no matter how poorly he is shooting.
Gordon went into pass mode in the 4th quarter. He passed up on quite a few shots that he would have normally taken.
Normally Stuckey and then Bynum will not both be hitting every shot like that. Imagine how good the Pistons can be when they are all firing.
Random 1-16 games from Gordon is some have called him streaky. He is bound to have more than a couple stinkers during the season. Nice to see Will Bynum step up and score, he's a definite keeper. Hopefully we see more production out of the fowards as the season progresses.

Effective November 24, 2014 Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP and Bingham McCutchen LLP have concluded a transaction. Visitors seeking information on this page should visit the corresponding page on the Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP website.
In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that employees bringing discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the "ADEA") must prove that age was the "but-for" cause of the adverse employment action, and not just a "motivating factor." The Court rejected the previously recognized "mixed-motive" standard, which had shifted the burden of proof to a defendant employer in discrimination cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"). Going forward, employees suing for age discrimination under federal law will bear a different and more difficult burden of proving their claim than the burden of proof in other types of (non-age) discrimination claims under federal law.
The Statutes
By their terms, the ADEA and Title VII prohibit employers from discriminating against employees "because of" their age or other protected characteristics, respectively. Title VII was amended to provide that "an unlawful employment practice is established when the complaining party demonstrates that race, color, religion, sex, or national origin was a motivating factor for any employment practice, even though other factors also motivated the practice" (43 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(m)) (emphasis added). The ADEA was not amended likewise, and does not contain this language, although — as the Supreme Court noted in its decision — Congress made other amendments to the ADEA contemporaneously with the Title VII amendments.
The Decision
The case is Gross v. FBL Fin. Servs. Inc., U.S., No. 08-441. Gross claimed that FBL Financial Group, Inc. ("FBL") had demoted him due to his age, in violation of the ADEA. The trial court instructed the jury that Gross had to prove by circumstantial or direct evidence that his age was "a motivating factor" in FBLs demotion decision. The burden then shifted to FBL to prove that Gross's age was not the determining factor, and that it would have demoted Gross regardless of his age. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of Gross. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed and remanded for a new trial, holding that, under Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, a Supreme Court decision in a Title VII case, plaintiffs are required to present direct evidence that an illegitimate criterion motivated the adverse employment action in order to shift the burden of proof to the defendant. The Eighth Circuit reasoned that because Gross did not have such direct evidence, he was not entitled to an instruction shifting the burden of proof to FBL, and that the jury should have been instructed to rule for Gross only if he proved that age was "a determining factor" in the employment decision.
The Supreme Court went even further, vacating the Eight Circuit's decision, to hold that a plaintiff bringing an ADEA disparate treatment discrimination claim must prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that age was the but-for cause of the challenged adverse employment action. The Court held that the mixed-motive analysis in Price Waterhouse simply does not apply in ADEA cases, and, therefore, the burden of persuasion does not shift to the employer to show it would have taken the same action regardless of age, even when a plaintiff has produced some evidence that age was one motivating factor for the decision.
In deciding that the burden of proof never shifts to the defendant in an alleged mixed-motive discrimination claim under the ADEA, Justice Thomas, writing for the majority, stated that the ADEA, unlike Title VII, "does not provide that a plaintiff may establish discrimination by showing that age was simply a motivating factor" and that Congress "neglected to add such a provision to the ADEA" when it amended Title VII in 1991 to add Section 2000e-2(m). The ADEA prohibits employment discrimination "because of" the individual's age, Thomas wrote, with the result that "the ADEA's requirement that an employer took adverse action 'because of' age is that age was the 'reason' that the employer decided to act." The Court thus held that "to establish a disparate-treatment claim under the plain language of the ADEA, therefore, a plaintiff must prove that age was the 'but-for' cause of the employer's adverse decision."
What Next?
The Supreme Court's decision alters the landscape of federal age discrimination claims, making the employee's burden of proof considerably more difficult. Yet, there is some question as to how long the change will last. Already there is speculation that Congress will overrule the opinion through legislation, just as it did in January with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. The January legislation responded to the Supreme Court's May 2007 ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Indeed, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy reportedly weighed in within hours of the Gross decision, stating: "The decision today reminds me of the Court's wrong-headed ruling in" Ledbetter, in which "these same five justices. . .misconstrued an employment discrimination statute. . .and also overturned a jury verdict in favor of the employee." For the time being, however, employers can enjoy the easing of the burden in ADEA discrimination claims.

Philip III (30 April 1245 – 5 October 1285), called the Bold (French: le Hardi),[1] was a Capetian King of France who reigned from 1270 to 1285.
Philip proved indecisive, soft in nature, and timid. The strong personalities of his parents apparently crushed him, and policies of his father dominated him. People called him "the Bold" on the basis of his abilities in combat and on horseback and not on the basis of his political or personal character. He was pious but not cultivated. He followed the suggestions of others, first of Pierre de La Broce and then of his uncle King Charles I of Naples, Sicily, and Albania.
Early life[edit]
Philip was born in Poissy to King Saint Louis IX of France[2] and Margaret of Provence, queen consort of France. As Count of Orléans, he accompanied his father on the Eighth Crusade to Tunisia in 1270. The plans failed when the French forces were struck by an epidemic which, on 25 August, took the life of King Louis himself.[3] Philip immediately acceded to the kingship at 25 years of age.
Coronation and inheritances[edit]
Philip, proclaimed king, quickly set his uncle, king Charles I of Naples, Sicily, and Albania, on negotiations with Muhammad I al-Mustansir to conclude the crusade with a truce. Charles signed a treaty with the emir, and there was little else to do but return to Sicily. The crusade was postponed until next spring, but a devastating storm off the coast of Sicily dissuaded Philip from any further campaigning. Philip returned to France to claim his throne at the formal coronation of the French monarch at Reims Cathedral on 30 August 1271.
Alphonse, Count of Poitiers and Toulouse, uncle of the newly crowned king Philip III, returning from the crusade, died childless in Italy on 21 August 1271. Philip inherited counties from his nephew and united them to the Crown lands of France, the royal demesne. His inheritance included a portion of Auvergne, then the Terre royale d'Auvergne, later the Duchy of Auvergne. In accordance with wishes of Alphonse, he granted the Comtat Venaissin to Blessed Pope Gregory X in 1274. This inheritance also included the Agenais. Several years of negotiations yielded the Treaty of Amiens (1279) with King Edward I of England, which restored this territory to the English.
Sicilian Vespers[edit]
King Philip III of France meanwhile supported policy of his uncle, King Charles I of Naples, Sicily, and Albania, in Italy.
King Peter III of Aragon and Valencia in 1282 triggered the Sicilian Vespers rebellion against King Charles I of Naples, Sicily, and Albania. The success of rebellion and invasion led to the coronation of Peter III of Aragon as king of Sicily therefore beginning the dynasty of the House of Barcelona in Sicily.
King Peter II of Aragon in 1205 put under his realm the suzerainty of the pope. Pope Martin IV excommunicated king Peter III of Aragon, the conqueror, and declared his kingdom forfeit.[4] The pope then granted Aragon to Charles, Count of Valois, son of Philip III, king of France.
Family matters[edit]
Joan I of Navarre, daughter of the deceased king Henry I of Navarre, reigned as queen regnant of Navarre. Philip IV of France, son of Philip III and heir to the French throne, took her as his wife in 1284.
In 1284, Peter, Count of Perche and Alençon, died without surviving children; therefore, his oldest living brother, Philip III, king of France, inherited his domains.
Aragonese Crusade and death[edit]
Philip III of France in 1284 responded to the Sicilian Vespers in support of his partially dethroned uncle. With his sons, the king entered Roussillon at the head of a large army on the ultimately unsuccessful Aragonese Crusade. The war took the name "crusade" from its papal sanction; nevertheless, one historian labelled it "perhaps the most unjust, unnecessary and calamitous enterprise ever undertaken by the Capetian monarchy.".[5] On 26 June 1285, Philip III the Bold entrenched himself before Girona in an attempt to besiege the city. Despite the strong resistance, the French took Girona on 7 September 1285.
Philip quickly experienced a reversal, however, as an epidemic of dysentery hit hard the French camp. The disease afflicted king Philip III personally. The French retreated, and the Aragonese enemy handily defeated the French at the Battle of the Col de Panissars on 1 October 1285.
Philip III died of dysentery in Perpignan, the capital of his ally James II of Majorca, on 5 October 1285. His son, Philip IV of France the Fair, succeeded him as king of France. The attempt of Philip to conquer Aragon nearly bankrupted the French monarchy, causing challenges for his successor.[6]
Following the Mos Teutonicus custom, his body was divided in several parts buried in different places : the flesh was sent to the Narbonne Cathedral, the entrails to La Noë abbey in Normandy, his heart to the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris and his bones to Basilica of St Denis, at the time north of Paris.[7]
Review from Dante[edit]
In Divine Comedy, Dante envisions the spirit of Philip outside the gates of Purgatory with a number of other contemporary European rulers. Dante does not name Philip directly, but refers to him as "the small-nosed"[8] and "the father of the Pest of France," a reference to king Philip IV of France.

In Season: Avocados
by Toby Amidor in In Season, February 6, 2010
Perfect for guacamole or tossed on a salad, pebbly-skinned avocados are excellent during the winter months. Here are the avocado basics and a few healthy dishes to make today.
What, Where & When?
Avocados are truly an ancient delicacy, dating back to sometime between 7,000 to 5,000 B.C. Archeologists in Peru have found avocado seeds buried in Incan tombs; the Incans believed the seeds had aphrodisiac powers they could use in the afterlife.
In 1833, Florida was the first state to see avocados, and by 1871, they had become a major crop in California. Today, the top producers of this fruit are the United States, Mexico and Chile. California grows more than 90% of the avocados we eat in the U.S.
The two main avocado varieties are hass and fuerte. Hass avocados are blackish in color with a pebbly texture, while fuertes are green with a thin smooth skin (they're mostly grown in Florida). Inside, avocados have a green flesh, buttery texture and slightly nutty flavor. They vary in size from 3 ounces to 4 pounds and can be round or pear-shaped. The freshest avocados are available from winter through spring, depending on where they are grown.
Nutrition Facts
Avocados are pretty calorie-dense fruits, so you want to keep portions small. An entire avocado has 250 calories! Stick to one-fifth of a medium avocado (about an ounce), which has 50 calories and a healthy dose of the mono and polyunsaturated fats.
A serving of avocado also contains 2 grams of fiber and a handful of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and potassium. They also contain lutein, an antioxidant that helps maintain healthy eyes, skin and hair, and the plant sterol beta-sitosterol, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
What To Do With Avocados
Avocados make a mean guacamole, which is perfect for your Cinco De Mayo celebration or just a party. But don't stop there — toss raw, sliced avocados in a salad or add pieces to the top of chili. Serve up fresh slices with crackers and cheese or try using mashed avocado as a substitute for mayo or butter in a sandwich. Spices that go well with avocados include cayenne, chili powder, chives, cilantro and paprika.
Slicing avocados can get tricky with the large pit right in the center — if you handle them too much, they can bruise. Here are three steps to remove the seed:
1. Cut all the way around the avocado lengthwise and twist the two halves until they separate.
2. Take the edge of a sharp, heavy knife and whack the pit so the knife becomes slightly embedded.
3. Twist the knife to loosen the pit from the flesh, then lift the knife so it pulls the pit with it.
For more information on avocados, check out this cool video featuring Food Network chefs explaining their love of the green fruit.
Shopping Tip: Choose avocados that firm but yield to gentle pressure. They should be heavy for their size without blemishes. If the fruit isn't ripe, place it in a paper bag for two to four days. Once ripe, avocados keep in the fridge for several days. After they're sliced, avocado flesh quickly browns— so cut up the avocado at the last minute or add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Sometimes leaving the pit in can delay the browning, too.

Hello Elena. How are you?
Let's look at your essay, shall we? I would like to write some improvements in punctuation and the terms, okay?
About my disadvantage
Sometimes I'm very lazy. For example, I had decided to go in for sport everyday.
I was full of enthusiasm; But 3 days went by, and I did nothing.
At the university I do any homeworks when I must give it to the teacher already!
[Did you want to say that; "I did not do any homework when I must give it to the teacher"? You could write this part this way:
"At the university I did not do any homework, even though it was past due, and I was supposed to turn it in to the teacher. It is already the last moment, and it is not done!"
About learning English; sometimes I learn [or study] English every day; but then, I don't know how to explain it. I have no ambition for anything [or to accomplish anything] I don't want anything. I want only to do nothing. That's not good. I will try to become better."
Okay, this is the essence that you wish to communicate, and I sympathize with your dilemma. It is not uncommon to feel this way in winter.
May I suggest that you find a video of an English song and learn the words?
May I suggest one for you? If I do, do you think you could learn the words and practice singing it?
I will post another comment with the song I suggest for you.
Sometimes I'm very lazy:( For example, I had decided to go to sport for everyday. I was full of enthusiasm. But 3 days went.. And I didn't want nothing. Or at the university ...

This is a discussion on Anyone CC a Ruger 345? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; The Ruger P 345 is likely to be my next purchase. Is it easily concealable IWB? If so what rig do you recommend?...
The Ruger P 345 is likely to be my next purchase. Is it easily concealable IWB? If so what rig do you recommend?
Too light for heavy work, too heavy for light work!
I use a SmartCarry (large versus medium - ask Charley) which I find very comfortable and very concealed; my other is a CrossBreed SuperTuck, which is a very comfortable IWB, but one should consider buying pants a waist size larger. I also have a quick throw-on OWB Fobus SP-11 paddle holster that carries the P345 high and close in, and I've had no problems drawing, and with a loose outside shirt, no problem with concealing OWB. SmartCarry is my #1, as I can carry the .45 and a clip with no pants slipping downward...

Easily concealable is subjective. But I don't see why it would be. It all depends on your body type and your gear, and how much heft your accustomed to carrying. I have and still do on occasion CC guns that are at least as large, if not larger.
Case in point: M&P service pistol. OWB scabbard, FBI cant, 3:30. Wilderness Instructor 5 stitch.
I nearly bought a P345 when it was first released to the public and being offered at a very attractive price of $399 in my AO. Some times I wish that I had.

Of all the Ruger autos the 345 is probably my favorite centerfire, although I don't own one. I think joe was on the right track recommending the Crossbreed Supertuck. Very nice holster.
Great gun. It is fairly light weight for a 45ACP, thin, and contoured to reduce snags when drawing. I love mine, and have carried it in a pancake holster under a cover shirt. Works quite well. However, these days I carry a PF-9 most of the time. I'm getting lazy in my old age.

TheP345 is my EDC. I currently use a High Noon Bare Asset IWB at about 3:30 or 4 o'clock. I love it. I am very accurate with it, the recoil is less than most .45s, and it fits like a glove in my hand.
Funny, I just tonight ordered a Don Hume 715 IWB from GunnersAlley.com. The Bare Asset has served me well, but I bent the clip out of shape and it is an excuse to try another holster.
Trust me you can't go wrong with a Ruger P 345
I sometimes cc a Ruger P89DC, which is bulkier than the P345, so I don't imagine it should be a problem to carry the P345. With the P89DC, I use a Kramer IWB holster.
A traffic ticket is formal recognition of a lapse in situational awareness.
I have posted this before but I had a P345 that would fail to fire 1 out of every 5 DA pulls. Hammer would drop with no bang. I never dry fired without a mag and bought it new in the box. Sent it back to Ruger and they didn't find anything wrong with it. I could't trust it anymore and traded it in at the store I bought it from.
I have only heard of one other person with this complaint though.

What are the Mental Health Effects?
The most immediate consequence of being overweight as perceived by children themselves is social discrimination and low-self-esteem. In a recent study by Schwimmer, et.al. (2003), obese children rated their quality of life with scores as low as those of young cancer patients on chemotherapy. In the study, 106 children aged 5 to 18 filled out a questionnaire used by pediatricians to evaluate quality of life issues. Children were asked to rate things like their ability to walk more than one block, play sports, sleep well, get along with others and keep up in school. The results indicated that that teasing at school, difficulties playing sports, fatigue, sleep apnea and other obesity-linked problems severely affected obese children's well-being. Interestingly, parents answered the same questionnaires, and their ratings of their children's well-being were even lower than the children's self-ratings.
Girls vs. Boys
Society, culture, and the media send children powerful messages about body weight and shape ideals. For girls, these include the "thin ideal" and an urging to diet and exercise. Messages to boys emphasize a muscular, "buff" body and pressure to body build and perhaps make use of potentially harmful dietary supplements and steroids. While gender has not been identified as a specific risk factor for obesity in children, the pressure upon girls to be thin may put them at greater risk for developing eating disordered behaviors and or related mood symptoms. Although society presents boys with a wider-range of acceptable body images, they are still at risk for developing disordered eating and body image disturbances.
What Can Parents Do?
According to the U.S. Surgeon General's "Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity:
- Obese children need a thorough medical evaluation by a pediatrician to consider the possibility of a physical cause.
- In the absence of a physical disorder, the only way to lose weight is to reduce the number of calories being eaten and to increase the child's or adolescent's level of physical activity.
- Emphasize healthy eating, keep fatty and sugary snacks to a minimum and keep fruits, vegetables and low-fat snacks available
- Increase physical activity, perhaps by taking a few brisk walks with your child each week
- Let your child know he or she is loved and appreciated whatever his or her weight. An overweight child probably knows better than anyone else that he or she has a weight problem. Overweight children need support, acceptance, and encouragement from their parents.
- Be a good role model for your child. If your child sees you enjoying healthy foods and physical activity, he or she is more likely to do the same now and rest of his or her life.

The Wytches Surf on Sabbath's Back for 'Wire Frame Mattress'
Young Brighton, England trio gets gloriously gothic on catchy shred-bomb
The Wytches count Leonard Cohen and Black Sabbath among their primary influences and these three English dudes are dark indeed. But their heaviness is offset by an, ahem, bewitching catchiness and the occasional burst of roiling surf-rock. Heard below, "Wire Frame Mattress" opens as a grungy, metallic slog before picking up steam, stalling out, and surging forth like an early White Stripes song made somehow both scrappier and heftier than the original article. "You sit there and laugh while my dignity collapses," Kristian Bell literally hisses, and then we're treated to a bout of blackened Dick Dale wildness as the entire thing careens toward a head-banging finish. Throw up the devil horns and feel this band's pain. The album arrives in May via Partisan.

PaulFebruary 2000 |
My name is Paul and I'm 18. I live in Michigan, but I attend college in Pennsylvania, where I'm a freshman. I love getting e-mail; you can reach me at email@example.com. Although my articles are primarily written in a fictitious style, they all come from real experiences and emotions; in other words, it's me you're hearing about-not a fictional character. I hope that somebody out there reads this and gets something out of it. So here goes my next article/ story/ writing/ whatever...
I had a car accident today. I didn't hit anyone; I just spun out on some ice. The car had to go to the body shop though. It's going to cost about two thousand dollars.
As I drove down Columbia Ave., I maintained my speed: thirty miles an hour-that's the speed limit right? Well, as I curved down a slight hill, my 1995 Ford Taurus station wagon hit a patch of ice. "That's all right," I thought. "Just ease of the accelerator, and let the car's momentum carry you through the ice." That plan would have been fine if I hadn't been going downhill and if the ice hadn't continued through the downhill. As the street began to curve the opposite direction, the car didn't change directions. I had to brake to prevent myself from hitting the curb head on. Braking on ice, as all drivers know, is never a good idea. Immediately, my entire car turned around, so I was now traveling backwards. I went over the curb, down into a drive way, over the other side of the driveway, and into someone's front yard. And I have never been more scared.
I backed the car out of the person's driveway, and although the steering was ruined, I managed to get to my doctors appointment. I was shaking when I got there. In the waiting room where no one could see me, I cried. I never cry-not at Titanic, or Shakespeare in Love, or any tear jerker have I shed a tear. But in the waiting room of the dermatologist's office, I cried.
My father yelled at me tonight; it was something about my French course at school. I don't really listen anymore; It still hurts when I cry.
I watched "The Blame Game" on TV this afternoon. There was a gay couple on. They were, of course, the stereotypical couple. One deep voiced and masculine, the other high-voiced and feminine. They were both very attractive. I wanted to have one of them with me. I felt as thought they were letting a great opportunity pass by; it sounded as though they had really loved each other.
I have a boyfriend. I don't love him. I don't really find him that attractive to tell you the truth. He's short and pale and although he's a dancer, he doesn't have a nice body. I date him because he's nice and funny and pays attention to me, but I don't love him. Don't get me wrong; I want to find love-more than anything in my life. I know that I'm smart. I know that I'm attractive enough. I know that I'm talented (I'm one of four freshman in the first violin section of my colleges orchestra). But I'm not sure that I'll ever find love. He'll cry when I dump him.
All my life, I've been trying to please my father. Somehow it never works out. I took French in my first semester in college because that's what he wanted; I practiced violin two hours a day; I got three As and a B at the nation's best liberal arts college; I'd never been in a car accident before today. Even though he hates my sexual orientation, I try to date nice, boring people. But it never works. Ever. And never receiving his approval has only fueled my insecurities: my love-life, my looks, my talent, my brains. It's strange how parents do that to us.
Usually, I'm sure that I can succeed at anything I try, but sometimes I'm not so sure. It's when I'm not sure that I cry.

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Old-world opulence is ingrained in this restored nineteenth-century mansion overlooking the Boboli Gardens. Built in 1868, the villa has been home to aristocrats from Napoleon III's widow, Eugenie, to an Egyptian pasha, and the remarkable staff sustain this noble aura with warmth and professionalism. The 46 rooms and suites fill three buildings on the estate, with the most lavish on the piano nobile of the main villa. Above that, spacious second-floor rooms are decorated (in some cases, exaggeratedly) with a rose motif honoring Empress Eugenie's love of the flower. The third floor is eclectic, with embroidered baldachins, soft lamps, and heavy satin drapes in deep gold, green, and burgundy. The smaller Villa Eugenia has modern frescoed ceilings and direct spa access, and La Follie is a two-bedroom former gatehouse with a private garden. Though a chauffeured car is at guests' disposal for the short ride to Florence's center, you may never feel the need to leave Villa Cora. It has two terrific restaurantsthe elegant gourmet Il Pasha and a luminous garden restaurant next to the heated white-stone poolas well as two bars, one with an impressive selection of cigars, and a full-service spa with a sauna, steam room, and massive whirlpool bath. 2011 Hot ListWhich room to book: Several third-floor rooms in the main villa have terraces with a view of Florence. In Villa Eugenia, Japanese-inspired No. 219 is gracious and more spacious.

Paladar: New Entry at Gulfstream Park Serves Up Winning Latin Fare
Categories: First Bites
Slow Cooked Chicken Tortilla Soup was a thick and hearty concoction made with shredded chicken, hominy and smoky pasilla peppers, garnished with roasted tomato and avocado salsa, sour cream and fried tortilla strips. It was perfect for a somewhat chilly South Florida day.
For dessert, Sweet Potato Donuts sounded appealing - fluffy sweet warm bites dusted with vanilla sugar and served with Paladar's golden caramel sauce. Both our server and chef Orlando advised us these might be delayed because the batter was too thick and they were working on thinning it out. Perhaps they didn't thin it out enough, as the donuts were dense and chewy, not fluffy. Even so, they made for a nice, sweet ending to our meal, especially when dipped in the caramel sauce.
Despite some opening week timing issues, service was polite and friendly. And with its generous portions and surprisingly reasonable prices (guess they figure people here will be dropping their dough on horses and slots), Paladar is the kind of place one can return to again and again, especially if you happen to live in northeast Miami-Dade or southeast Broward. But it's also one of those "worth a drive" spots when you're looking for something new, different and delicious.

Victims' Rights Amendment introduced
VRA supporters at POMC National Conference
Participants at the National Conference of Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) rallied around support for the Federal Constitutional Victims' Rights Amendment. Meeting in Cincinnati, OH, 189 conference attendees signed petitions urging Congress to pass House Joint Resolution 40.
Public Hearing Held
On April 23, 2013, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA) and Rep. Edward Royce (R-CA) introduced the bi-partisan Victims Rights Amendment. A press conference annoucing the introduction was held on April 25 followed by a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice, chaired by Rep. Franks.
- View the subcommittee hearing (opens popup window)
- Read hearing testimony
Advocates and supporters of federal victims' constitutional rights are urged to continue contacting their Members of Congress and ask them to sign on as co-sponsors. See the "Dear Colleague" letter asking other Representatives to sign on to the measure for additional information.
"To those who hesitate and shy away from amending our constitution to protect victims, I would say with all due respect, it is a good thing that they were not in the first Congress that provided us with the Bill of Rights; it is good they were not in the 38th Congress that ended slavery, or in the 39th Congress, that asserted rights to equal protection and due process; it is good they were not in the 66th Congress, that extended the right to vote to women; and it's good they were not in the 87th Congress that ended the poll tax. You see, throughout the long course of our history, great injustices in America have ended with constitutional justice." Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, |
Sign NVCAP Petition!
NVCAP has started an online petition for everyone to register their support for a Federal Victims' Rights Amendment. Tell your friends, family and other victim advocates to sign on for Victims' Rights.Hawaii Amendment Making Rapid Progress
On March 1, 2013, the Hawaii State Senate unanimously passed the proposed state victims' rights Constitutional amendment. SB 509 [PDF], was introduced on January 18, 2013 by Hawaii state senator Rosalyn Baker to guarantee specific rights to crime victims and their immediate family members. The Senate Committee on Judiciary and Labor held a public hearing on February 7, 2013 and voted to recommend passage of the proposal with no amendments. The measure now goes to the House where it has been referred to three committees. The House Committee on Public Safety is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Thursday, March 14, 2013

MEDFORD, Ore. — The suspect in the D.A. Office bombing has been indicted. 46-year-old Alan Leroy McVay was indicted this morning for his alleged involvement in setting off a bomb outside the D.A. Office building almost two weeks ago.
The criminal complaint filed in federal court against Alan McVay sheds more light on what happened in the bombing at the D.A.'s Office.
The bomb was set off in the early morning hours of November 13, breaking a window and damaging part of the building. Two days later, police began investigating McVay after getting a tip saying he was involved with the bombing.
