I will preface this by saying: I haven't had coffee for 3 days, and I just couldn't help myself.
You know who annoys the crap out of me?
That's right – men. They're big and loud. They scratch and fart. They take up more than their share of privilege in the world. They rarely have intuition about things and they never have to go through menstruation or pregnancy.
In fact, men annoy me so much that I would be much happier if I did not ever have to encounter them in public.
Next time I go to the grocery store and I see a man, I am going to find the manager and complain. Don't even get me started if I hear one talking in a restaurant!
I think there should be more places out there that ban men altogether – I know my life would be much happier that way.
You know what else would make my life happier?
If all coffee shops and convenience stores banned people who pay with change. That is so annoying! They take too long – they hold up the line. Sometimes they require the cashier to do math.
I mean, if you've got it right there in your hand that's one thing, but most people have to dig around for it in those little purses, and it just makes me want to grind my teeth in anger!
If we stopped allowing them, I would stop having that problem!
And oh my goodness – women who talk! Why do they have to talk to me? Why do they have to talk at all? I don't like their voices, or the way they look, or the people they're talking to.
Ugh – where is the place with women-who-talk-free shopping hours so I can head there and get my groceries in peace?
You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize how many types of people annoy me. There should be rules set in place to keep these types out of my life:
- People who chew gum
- People who have cell phones
- People who walk too slowly
- People who ride bikes
- People who drive
- People who wear perfume
- People who might stop suddenly in front of me
- People who block doorways
- People who talk to me on planes
- People who wear clothes I don't like
- People who are not the same ethnicity as I am
- People who are disabled
I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more, but this would be a good start. I am definitely going to start making my complaints known loud and clear to all the middle management of the land – I am sick and tired of all these annoying people disrupting my life!
What's that you tell me? Those places can't ban all those types of people? That's called discrimination?
But they annoy the crap out of me!
You're telling me that in order to be human and live among others in society, I just have to put up with all of this??
Well that just sucks.
I guess I should be happy that at least all those bratty kids don't even count as people, because no one's calling it discrimination to ban them from all those places.
I guess it's a start…
Disclaimer: The above post is sarcasm.
Normally, I like to look on the bright side of things…but this whole trend towards 'Kids are annoying so let's hide them' just drives me batty sometimes. I know kids can be annoying and it can seem frustrating when parents don't seem to be able to 'control' them – but what I wonder is why they seem to stand out among all the other annoying people out there (and having worked in customer service for over 10 years, I can tell you there is no shortage of insanely annoying people out there).
It seems like everyone – even parents – loves this 'reason' the most: I don't want to go out and pay for a nice meal only to have a screaming brat ruin my entire night. OK, fair's fair and I can see that.
But you know what? I've gone out for a nice meal and had an incredibly rude server ruin my night. I've gone out for a nice meal and had badly cooked food ruin my night. I've gone out for a nice meal and had loud, annoying, rude people sitting at the table next to me ruin my night. People wearing too much perfume and cologne, people who are drunk and disruptive, people who smoke, the list goes on.
And yet, I have no right or ability to change any of these things for the most part.
It's called life.
Personally, if my child is freaking in a restaurant, I will do my best to remedy the situation or remove her from it. But if someone else sitting next to me chooses not to do that and it really bothers me, well, I'll just have to chalk it up to one more annoyance of being a person, rather than calling essentially all children the scourge of the devil and insisting that they be removed from my sight.
Mr. and Mrs. Hate Children & Don't Want Them Anywhere, I have two questions for you:
1. Do you have any conception of the fact that you were once a child yourself, and that your mother and father may have actually needed to (gasp!) take you out in public every so often?
2. If you don't care about that, do you think there's any way that you've ever annoyed anyone else to the point that you should have (according to your own standards) been asked to leave their presence? (And if you say no to that, let me remind you that at one point you were also, in fact, a teenager).
Now, I'm sure this little rant isn't going to do much to change anyone's mind, but it sure made me feel better.
And that's who it's all about, right?

Sing it, mama! I'm right there with you. I find adults annoy me a lot more often than kids do. (except for my own kids, but that's to be expected. and out in public they're generally pretty well-behaved….)
My recent post What next? -
Ha ha!!! Know what you mean! We were in AZ one holiday and everyone was gathered at the dinner table. Millie (who was not even one) started throwing a fit. I set her down, expecting to leave with her, when Adam's brother (who was engaged to be married) said, " See, this is what I like about so-and-so's parenting style…they would never let their kids do this. They are such Godly parents.." and then he goes on describing what this couple would do in our situation, and his mother started agreeing….and I JUST ABOUT LOST IT!
First of all, who is this young know it all virgin telling me that my child is "a brat" because she cried in front of everybody?! And I was about to handle it! Then, Adam's mom is agreeing, when let's face it, her two youngest are NOT angels at all. And Adam, later he mentioned it made him a bit mad, but he ignored it, and I wanted to sock him one. He is the type of guy who let's things rol off his back. It's better to ignore it than to fight it. REALLY?!
Anyway, I know I am not myself these days (this pregnancy is messing with hormones I didn't even know I had). But, I enjoyed your blog
OH MY GOSH!! THANK YOU!! I LOVE THIS!! It drives me crazy too and it drives me even crazier that so many parents support these bans, as if they are ok with their kids being treated like second class citizens and when I call it that people think I am nuts. I have been wanting to blog about this for awhile too but after I blogged about the moms of the crying babies being charged extra at a resturant and all of the comments SUPPORTING this I decided it was a lost cause. I love your approach though, it's humorous while still getting the point across that these bans are rediculous. I have things I need to do and groceries I need to buy and its hard to find a sitter for 4 kids everytime I need to do anything even if I was willing to.

Very well said. Made me think. Thanks!
I used to fly from Moscow to New York pretty often on Delta's "baby flights." Those were the flights that went out the day after adoptive parents could get their documents at the U.S. embassy, usually the Thursday flight, I think. There might be 20 or 30 babies on the flight, all with new parents, many anxious; it was always sort of raucous. And the kids were never as bad as some of the grownups I had to sit next to. You can slap on your noise-canceling headphones and ignore other people's babies. Headphones can't do a thing to make the inconsiderate, over-perfumed boor next to you go away.
By the way, I ended up as a new parent on one of those baby flights a couple of years after I left Moscow. Our two babies slept all the way. Obviously superior parenting in action.
You kick a$$.
Amen! I once had someone come over and complain to me that my baby was "very loud". She was babbling. In the GROCERY STORE. I had no idea they were the new library! Overall, we've found most people very welcoming. But, I do tell fellow moms who are afraid to travel with their kids, or go out with them some of the things we've seen "adults" do. At least kids have an excuse! They legitimately don't know better!
During a summer in college I worked as a receptionist for a heating and cooling company. Do you have any idea how many people would call, IRATE, because their AC was out…when we'd lose power during a thunderstorm? "Um, yes, sir, I realize that it's hot out, and I do apologize that the unit's not working, but the things is, it needs power…" You can add them to your "banned" list!
My recent post CARES–Airplane Travel with Toddler Made Safe and Easy!
Love your HONESTY! You say most of what all of us are too scared to! lol!
My recent post Your big Why? -
I like your post, but the trend is not about bad kids, yes they are kids and they will act like them. The meaning behind the no kids here is to let people that kids are not entitled to be EVERYWHERE that adults go, and that just cause it is your kid doesn't mean it has the right to be there. Also that is is the business right to serve who they want…. It is a business decision like the ban of smoking. People/ restaurant owners etc were holler and screaming bloody murder that sales would suffer, but alas sales have been up on average 30% nation wide. Now to say kids should be baned from everywhere no, but if parents would parent these days and know when and where to take kids then business would not have to do the "parenting" for them… Kids don't need to be hidden in the cellar till ripe but also they don't need to be screaming next to me on first class airline from NYC to china..
The fact, though, is that business owners can't just decide whom to serve based on their customers' preferences — or we'd be seeing signs that say "White people's bar" or "no women in the cigar lounge." I think we can all understand that this is discrimination!
Everyone loves to say "just get a babysitter." But some of us can't afford a babysitter every time we go anywhere, and some babies can't be left. Because of that, I don't go many places … but when I do get a chance to go out, I think I have the right to go where I want to. There are some places I wouldn't take a baby — like a smokey bar or an opera — but you don't really see people doing that. What you see is people taking kids along to noisy diners, on airplanes, to see animated movies … and people STILL complain. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe it's your right to live in an adults-only world.
Are you saying that kids should never need to go from New York to China? What if they have family there who haven't seen them? Is it just too bad for them? You, I'm sure, appreciate your ability to travel … doesn't it occur to you that families like having that ability too? And if they can afford first class, that's probably wise, so they can have room to move around. Use your money to buy noise-canceling headphones. Airplanes are not quiet; they are giant buses where *everyone* who wants to travel from point A to point B is stuck with each other for hours. It's not like there's another way to get to China for those of us with kids.
Childless people imagine that the world is composed of adults, and some random kids are occasionally in it. The fact is, we are kids for a quarter of our lives. Then we raise kids, if we have them, for another quarter of our lives (and that's if we only have one apiece). So half the people in the world (depending on the demographics of your area) either are children, or have children. Why should everything cater to you, just because you don't want to be around children?
I can sort of see the point of saying "no kids at this posh restaurant/theater/ballet." I don't see the point of saying "no kids at this diner" or "no kids outdoors at this condo" or "no kids on the plane." Where do you think kids are supposed to be? Must those of us with kids tiptoe around in the "kid zone" for our whole parenting career, carefully avoiding treading on the toes of the non-kid-havers? Unless we have a nanny, are we just supposed to stick to the house, the playground, and the McDonald's and never leave?
In ages past, kids were everywhere. It was accepted that there would be kids everywhere the adults were. That's how the kids learned to be adults, and how they learned to behave appropriately in public places. Now we're lucky enough to have a few places designed particularly for children, but I don't think that means children aren't allowed anywhere else!
I hope one of your parent friends leaves you out on the town with kids for a day. Then perhaps you'd see how hard it is to find a "kid-friendly" place to take them.
My recent post Weaning checklist -
We took my 10 month old to Paris and London over the new year and I will tell you that it was one of the most kid accommodating trips I have ever taken. Most if not all restaurants had high chairs that matched the adult size versions. For the restaurants that did not have chairs even in tight quarters they made room for the stroller and we never got a upset look from the other patrons. I had a waitress spill some iced tea on me once, now back in the US, ruining actual property in the form of my shirt, and I did not demand she be fired. It was an accident and unintentional just like a baby's cries.
This falls in line with people who are mad at nursing mothers who nurse their children under a cover because it makes them uncomfortable. If you are so paralyzed by the varied experiences you come across in the world I suggest you become a shut in. Do not try to shut out any petty annoyances because it may spoil your day.
Finally I suspect all of the supporters of a ban on kids get more frustrated in traffic than they do in a restaurant. Should we build you a special lane as well? Life is hard for everyone so suck it up! Worst case think about the fact that you are going to be collecting your Social Security off that whiny kids' earnings someday. So in the end you come out ahead.
Love this post.
Standing up and clapping!!!! You are so dead-on.
How is this any different from banning old people from places? If a restaurant tried to do that, there would be hell to pay.
How do people expect children to learn how to behave in public if they are never allowed out of the house?
Awesome! I wrote about this a few days ago too. (I won't link it here but you'll see it if you go to my site.) Why are kids treated like accessories now? Or as a danger or toxin? My husband got it right when he said making something more pleasant isn't an argument for making it right.
Well written post!
THANK YOU for writing this. I laughed and then I read every single word out loud to my husband.
I applaud you for creating a humorous piece with such a serious + important message.

I'm sure players get thier teeth knocked out all the time but I was just wondering if it was true
Here is the story
Steelers: Smith gets in
Bengals WRs' heads
By: Chris Harlan, Times Sports Staff
CINCINNATI - Anthony Smith went hunting for Bengals receiver Chad Johnson during pregame warm-ups.
Smith had a message. Actually, it was more of a warning.
"I just told him to make sure he keeps his mouthpiece in," said Smith, the Steelers hard-hitting safety with a growing reputation for talking trash and punishing receivers.
"Chad said he don't wear one."
That became obvious.
Johnson slammed face-first into the Paul Brown Stadium turf in the third quarter when Smith broke up a long pass intended for the Pro Bowl receiver and out popped the removable gold caps that covered Johnson's teeth.
How embarrassing.
"Those came out when he hit the ground," Smith said with a wide smile after the 24-13 victory, during which the second-year safety laid several spectacular hits on Cincinnati receivers.
The Steelers secondary succeeded in containing Cincinnati's tandem of big-play receivers and Smith, who led the team with eight tackles, was claiming his share of the credit.
"Anthony Smith is growing and developing each time out," coach Mike Tomlin said.
Johnson had five catches for 51 yards. T.J. Houshmandzadeh had seven catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. Smith said he had them a little preoccupied.
"They were looking for me," he said "I had their heads on a swivel. That made it difficult for them. ... It's good to get some hits on the receivers because they start looking for you instead of looking for the ball."
The gold teeth are part of Johnson's attention-grabbing antics. Having Troy Polamalu hand them back after taking a big hit had to be humbling. Johnson left the Bengals locker room without talking to reporters, refusing to discuss Smith or anything else.
And still the hit on Johnson wasn't Smith's favorite.
"I probably got a better hit on T.J.," he said. "I liked that one better."
That hit came just two plays later.
Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught a 13-yard pass along the Cincinnati sideline and then Smith flattened him from behind with his shoulder, pushing him off the field.
"I told him to get off the field because he's done," Smith said.
The two are starting to form a rivalry; Smith drilled Houshmandzadeh in the ribs during last year's season finale.
"You can hit me if I don't see you coming," Houshmandzadeh said dismissively. "That's not hard to do. It's football. He had a free shot."
Smith was starting at free safety in place of Ryan Clark, who was sidelined while recovering from an inflamed spleen. The two have rotated throughout the season, with the exception of the Seattle game when Smith started in place of Polamalu.
"They've been looking for me already," Smith said. "They've seen on film what I did our first couple games. They already had their heads up."
And for a second-year player, he talks a good game.
"I've been talking since I was in Little League," Smith said. "I can't change that now."

5 tips for staying safe and healthy this summer
By Denise M. Baran-Unland For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
This summer, maximize fun in the sun and minimize its hazards by heeding these five safety rules.
1) Keep pools clean.
Chlorine only reduces nasty bacteria; it doesn't eliminate them, said Dr. Chris Hwang, medical director of emergency services at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora. Because of that, swallowing even a little pool water can make you sick.
To reduce pool germs, swimmers must shower before entering the pool and wash their hands after using the restroom. Every hour, change babies' and toddlers' diapers and escort small children to the bathroom. Experiencing vomiting or diarrhea?
"Don't come to the pool," Hwang said.
2) Practice safe swimming.
Employ the buddy system for older children and adults and only frequent pools and lakes with an on-duty lifeguard, Hwang said. When swimming in open waters, watch for other hazards, such as boaters.
Unskilled swimmers should remain where feet easily touch bottom, even if peer pressure entices your child otherwise, said Dr. Tom Scaletta, medical director of the emergency department at Edward Hospital in Naperville. Diving in shallow water — anything less than 12 to 15 feet — can break one's spine and cause quadriplegia, Scaletta said.
Before entering swimming pools, check chlorine levels.
When swimming in surf beaches, beware of rip tides. If you encounter one, don't panic and don't try to swim out of it, Scaletta said. Instead, swim parallel to the shore until the tide calms down. "If you can't swim, just float until you reach normal current," Scaletta said.
Many people don't consider hypothermia when temperatures soar, especially when boating on an 80 degree day. The trouble occurs when one dives into 50 degree water. "Muscles can quickly become weak and you might not make it back to the boat," Scaletta said.
Listen to weather reports before swimming and pay attention to your surroundings once you're in the water, as it is very dangerous to swim during a thunderstorm, said Dr. Syeda Ali, family practice physician at Valley West Community Hospital in Sandwich.
She also recommends adults learn CPR and that weak swimmers wear life jackets. "If you're at a water park, make sure your child fits the age and size requirements," Ali added.
3) Stay hydrated to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Guard against heat exhaustion and heat stroke by drinking plenty of water — sports drinks are better — but avoid alcohol and caffeine, as both are diuretics, Scaletta said. This is especially true on hot and humid days, when the heat index may rise above 100 degrees. "Full blown heat stroke can cause seizures, coma and death," Scaletta said.
If someone experiences muscle cramps and weakness, excessive thirst, headache, nausea and vomiting, remove him from the sun, offer fluids and call 911, Ali said.
4) Supervise small children.
Every summer, Hwang said, Rush-Copley treats several drowning victims, often children under 5. If you own a pool, surround it with a secured barricade fence.
"We've seen multiple cases where neighborhood kids enter the pool because the gate was unlocked," Hwang said.
Young children require constant supervision, even when splashing in a wading pool or shallow end of a public pool. When pools are full, it's easy to lose sight of your child.
"In one case, the child got lost from the parents and was found in the deeper end," Hwang said. "We did successfully resuscitate the child. The more crowded the pool, the more vigilant parents must be in knowing where their kids are."
5) Don't forget sunscreen.
Reapply often, according to package directions, Ali said. Water intensifies the sun's rays, Scaletta added, which may cause severe burning.

- John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com: "A doctor's check-up that Hedo Turkoglu hoped would lead him one step closer to returning for the Orlando Magic turned sour on Wednesday and the veteran small forward could be out of action another month. When doctors determined that one of the screws in Turkoglu's surgically repaired left hand had loosened, his hand, fingers and arm were put back into a cast and his timetable for returning for the Magic was adjusted."
- More on Turkoglu's setback from Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "Turkoglu, who is normally upbeat and cheerful, said he isn't in any physical pain, but he seemed discouraged when he spoke with reporters after his teammates finished practice Wednesday afternoon."
- Is market size in the NBA overrated?
- Arron Afflalo took over the official Twitter account of the Orlando Magic on Social Media Night after Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks.
- Maurice Harkless' three blocks on Carmelo Anthony in 30 seconds.
- The Orlando Magic scratched and clawed against the Knicks on Tuesday, but ultimately lost the game.
- Beckley Mason of HoopSpeak cites J.J. Redick as one of the NBA's best pests: "Most pests make their mark on defense, but Redick is the rare offensive-minded pest. He's won the Orlando's "Iron Magic" fitness test for the past several years, and he puts that boundless energy to work on the court by running through and around an endless number of curls and hand offs in the Magic's motion-heavy offense. If his defender loses track of him, or just gets slightly out of position for a moment, Redick flashes to the rim. You know how physically and mentally exhausting it is to guard someone who runs around a lot and can shoot when you're playing pick-up? That, to the nth degree, is Redick … except he also went to Duke."
- The Magic drop in the latest power rankings from Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports.
- "Glen Davis leads the world's slowest fast break."
I love that article by Cohen. It's weird how people forget how bad the Knicks, Nets, Clippers and Celtics have been in the last decade. Market size is definitely a factor and we're seeing a resurgence for some of those teams but they are just as fragile as anybody else.

VALLEY OF THE ROGUE STATE PARK, Ore. – For more than a year now, a car has been sitting in the Rogue River as officials waited for it to resurface. The car ended up there when a woman drove her car off the road; she escaped, but it's taken 18 months for the vehicle recovery.
The car landed in the river last March, but officials weren't able to find it until it popped back up this summer; that is when a recovery effort kicked into full gear. With so many fires across the West, a helicopter hadn't been available for a lift.
Monday morning, the call finally came in that Croman Helicopters would have one available and the plan came together over the next 24 hours. On Tuesday morning, Water Way Recovery, fire crews and DEQ officials all worked together to get the Subaru out.
Officials say the car was a big concern for residents, both from a fishing standpoint and an environmental concern. The car was dropped at a designated landing zone that had been previously cleared. Officials said after the car was taken out and landed, it was immediately taken to a storage area where insurance representatives will review its condition.

United compound Rangers misery
Rangers' woes continue after they went down 2-1 to Dundee United in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Tannadice.
United defender Keith Watson's first-half strike and a Jon Daly goal soon after the break had the home side looking comfortable.
A deflected strike by Rangers substitute Sone Aluko off John Rankin, on for debutant Andrew Mitchell, brought the crisis-hit visitors back into the game but it proved to be a mere consolation.

• Prisoners' Wives will be back on BBC1 later this year. It's just finished filming in Sheffield and the makers are promising more jeopardy, joy, sex and secrets resulting from the imprisonment of the women's other halves. Polly Walker (right) and Pippa Hayward return alongside new characters played by Sally Carman and Karla Crome. Writer Julie Gearey's series was something of a quiet success, relying on intriguing stories and strong characters. She says, 'It's been very exciting to return to the world of Prisoners' Wives and have the opportunity to create fresh stories for Francesca and Harriet and introduce our brand new characters, Kim and Aisling. The second season will continue the mix of compelling character driven stories with some dark twists and more than a little romance.'

Barrow shoplifter left his details at scene of theft
Last updated at 16:44, Monday, 07 January 2013
A BUNGLING shoplifter left behind prescriptions containing his name and address after stealing from a Barrow clothes store.
Jamie Marsden, 34, pleaded guilty to theft from a shop at Furness Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Marsden, from Manchester Street, Barrow, entered the X-Catalogue shop in Portland Walk on December 14, and selected four pairs of jeans from a display.
After entering a changing room for an extended period of time, Marsden returned holding the jeans and selected a fifth pair.
After spending another 30 minutes in the changing room, he returned holding only four pairs, and was challenged by an employee who could see that he was wearing the fifth pair underneath his jogging pants.
Marsden replied "I can count" before leaving the store.
Staff at the shop found three prescriptions in the changing area containing Marsden's details, and handed them to police. Mr Andrew Dodd, prosecuting, said: "It was at 5pm that day when PC Williams and Edwards came to Marsden's door.
"He appeared drunk and aggressive, and had to be detained for 24 hours pending interview.
"During his interview he said he simply didn't remember anything about December 14, and he had taken 50 sleeping tablets."
The jeans, valued at £37.50, were not recovered.
Mr Trystan Roberts, defending, said: "He doesn't have a huge recollection of what happened, and there are things about the evidence he could dispute, but he has done a very reasonable thing and pleaded guilty at the first opportunity."
Magistrate Mrs Margaret Rogerson fined Marsden £100 and ordered him to pay a £20 victim surcharge, £37 compensation and £75 court costs.
Marsden was also fined £50 for a bail act offence after turning up to court an hour and a half late.

Have your say
Well that'll teach him, he'll certainly think twice before stealing again. For instance theres the £1000 of goods he need to shoplift to pay the £282 in fines or he could just not bother paying and then go back to the Magistrates and they'll give him a none payment of fines fine and start this effective cycle all over again.
What a wonderful system!

French tussle over Muslim head scarf is positive push for women's rights
French President Jacques Chirac has been sharply criticized by Muslim clerics around the world for his recent call for a ban on the Islamic head scarf, or hijab, in French public schools. Mr. Chirac's move has been attacked as a curtailment of personal freedom and an assault on Islam.
But the proposed ban has also kicked loose a debate among Muslims everywhere. Indeed, a growing number of Muslims worldwide are coming forward to say the hijab is not a valid symbol either of freedom or Islam.
"Neither the Koran, nor the hadith [the sayings of the prophet Muhammad] require women to wear a head scarf," says Gammal Banna, the Egyptian author of several works on the rights of Muslim women and brother of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the influential radical Islamic movement with offshoots worldwide. While telling Agence France-Presse that he did not support the French president's interference in the personal choice to wear a head scarf, Mr. Banna noted, "The head scarf is not an obligation, but derives from an erroneous reading of the Koran."
Nor is the hijab a good symbol for freedom. Throughout the Islamic world the hijab is often something girls and women wear because they're forced to - a symbol of restriction and intimidation, not freedom. Millions of women worldwide are daily threatened - and substantial numbers even assaulted, maimed, or killed - for refusing to wear whatever the local male authorities decide they should be wearing.
In countries such as Saudi Arabia, special religious patrols beat, insult, and arrest women who aren't covered according to their stringent specifications. In Pakistan, Kashmir, and Afghanistan, hundreds of women have been blinded or maimed when acid was thrown on their unveiled faces by male fanatics who considered them improperly dressed. In post-Taliban Afghanistan, women have been raped for daring to think they could now go without theburqa.

I didn't see it either....not sure it was shown in the UK. But, funny you should mention this match because my parents just got back from a holiday down in Cornwall UK and for some reason my dad saved all the Tennis stuff from the newspapers to read.
One of the things in the news papers was about the Sharapova/Karantancheva match and how Sesil said she was gonna kick Maria's Ass.....anyway, Maria said something after the match along the lines of, "I let the fourth game in the second set go because I know what it's like to lose 6-0, 6-0 - it's not very nice" LMAO.....I wonder which match she was refering to ;)
Just thought I'd share :D
Jun 26th, 2005, 10:07 PM
Maria is such a nice person :)

oh man you guys havent seen it?! ugh if there were some way i could upload it on to the internet...

I saw it for the first set and Lindsay was just hitting too consistently, hitting great groundstrokes and not let sharapova get into a rythm. I couldn't, well really watch Set 2.
Jun 27th, 2005, 05:11 PM
I have this match taped and can make copies of it if any one would like it! :D
This was an awesome match. And it wasn't like masha was hurt or playing bad, lindsay just knew how to get the job done and could attack maria. It was her 1st win against Sharapova, which is also surprising, but hopefully htis has a lasting affect on future matches ;)

Why is it green?
Yet another week of failure for NESL. Both game days spoiled by poor streamers not paying attention to what matters, the viewers ability to watch the game. Hint: We aren't there to listen to you talk. Fix your streams, and keep up with IRC so you can see when there are problems. Out of 7 weeks, 5 of them have been abysmal on one or more days.
Epic double ace in game 3. How many of those have you seen?
man those are some pretty cool team names xD.

@Pippinwhite -- I know what you mean about those replacement shakes. Some of them have a ton of sugar in them and you have to be careful.
I kind of prefer the protein bars. They usually taste pretty good, although you have to be careful about them, too. They're apt to have a lot of sugar in them, which kind of defeats the purpose of cutting calories. I'd rather have fewer calories than less fat any day. Extra sugar often replaces the fat so the flavor will be better.
I like the chocolate shakes the best. The vanilla and strawberry are just too sweet, and the strawberry tastes fake. Ugh.

Famous Pastafarians
No.1 in an interminable series
Prince Charles, Chief Grand Commander of the Side-Order of Linguini, Great Master and First Dibs on Her Majesty's Privy.
During the recent celebration of Pastover Prince Charles and his son, William, were photographed visiting 'Jamie's Pukka Pasta Palace', in Birmingham, for the family's customary 'grog and bowl' ceremony.
On exiting from the taxi cab, Charles was honoured by a gentle touch from the Angel Hair Pasta as it floated by.
William, seemingly upset that the Angel had not similarly graced his own noggin, threw down his cap in temper. However, after 14 pints of Cap′n Mosey's Strong Black Ale (specially brewed for the Royal family) he was much mollified and laughed aloud at the antics of the Darwin stripogram. The evening ended with lusty singing of sea shanties, the Passing of the Eye-patch, and a reading from the Codex Vermicelli.
Editors Uniform notes
Fashionistas will recognise the traditional sauce-robes with quick-release lanyard. Both men are, of course, wearing the official pirate hat and the Croxetti Fiori chains (presented to Henry VIII in 1509)
In a slight departure from custom the Princes were sporting large badges with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense", which is roughly translated as "Any idea what's wrong with my 'pencil'?"
It is believed that this is worn as a tribute to the late prophet and moonwalker Michael Jackson. The motto, as you will know, appears on the gates of Neverland.

Last year, we took a letter from 20 webcasters opposing this to WIPO. They temporarily abandoned webcasting then, but now there are sneaky moves afoot to get it back on the table.
The Consumer Project on Technology is petitioning the Library of Congress and US Patent and Trademark Office to go back to WIPO and tell them to abandon this bizarre proposal to confer ownership of information to the person whose sole contribution to it is converting it to packets and sending it down the wire.
CPTech renews its request that the USPTO or the Library of Congress (LOC) invite formal public comment on the proposal to create a new International Treaty obligation establishing a novel intellectual property regime for webcasting, through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).LinkThe treaty language proposed for a "webcasting"right would create a new layer of property rights, lasting at least 50 years, for materials that are transmitted by web servers over the Internet and other networks. Unlike copyright, the new webcaster right is not based upon a creative contribution. Any material, including material in the public domain, or licensed for public dissemination under a creative commons type license, would be burdened with this new layer of rights, which accompany any "public transmission" of any combination or representations of sounds and or images.[ft 1]
There are no formalities for the new rights. They will automatic increase the transaction costs associating with redistributing or reusing information distributed from web pages...
One has to ask, how can Yahoo and a handful of companies succeed in pushing a global treaty on webcasting when almost no countries have even enacted such laws? As far as we know, only Finland has attempted to create something like the webcasting right. The United States has certainly not enacted such a law, and it is highly unlikely the US Congress would ever do so. This is because many in the US Congress actually understand the benefits of freedom, and the dangers of excessive government regulation of the Internet.

Lessons From The Top
Meeting with Warren Buffett - The Oracle of Omaha
Beacom School of Business students were invited in October to meet with Omaha businessman Warren Buffett for a noon lunch. While it's difficult for some of the world's shrewdest investors to meet with Buffett on an annual basis, this was the fifth time in six years that USD business majors have been invited to spend time with the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.
Read what students had to say.
" Getting the opportunity to meet Warren Buffett has been one of the biggest highlights of graduate education at USD...This was truly an amazing experience." |
Twenty of us Beacom School of Business students traveled to Omaha, NE on Friday, October 22, 2010 to tour Berkshire Hathaway holdings Nebraska Furniture Mart and Borsheims as well as to meet and question Warren Buffett. We left Vermillion before dawn and most of the ride to Omaha was in sleepy silence, however as we got closer to our first destination everyone was awake with anticipation. First stop was Nebraska Furniture Mart. Mr. Bob Batt, executive vice president and grandson of the Nebraska Furniture Mart's founder, Rose Blumkin, greeted the USD students along with students from east and west coast schools. Mr. Batt availed us of the marketing strategies they have used to grow market share and stay current throughout the years. It was particularly striking to learn how a family owned business has been able to stay true to their founding values in spite of becoming a publically owned company. Mr. Batt detailed the importance of customer service and constant innovation and updating of their offerings as keys to Nebraska Furniture Mart's sustained success. Next stop, Berkshire Hathaway headquarters. The first thing you notice when arriving at 3555 Farnam Street in Omaha is that any preconceived notions about what the headquarters of a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars might look like are quickly replaced with the reality of a rather plain looking office building. Inside we were whisked to the top floor conference room, in which I might add USD got front and center seating for the big show. Again preconceived notions regarding the aloofness of what the second richest person in the world might be like were quickly assuaged upon Mr. Buffett's short welcome making it clear that no topics were off limits and that we should feel free to probe personal and professional topics alike. USD was given the honor of the first question and from there the next two hours included topics as far ranging as tax policies to foreign investment to marriage. Mr. Buffett kept every response lively a story from his own experiences and often a great deal of humor. Strikingly the biggest takeaways from the Q&A with Mr. Buffett were not investment advice but instead repeated guidance on choosing a career which makes "you want to get out of bed and tap dance to work each day". The importance of choosing companions both personally in marriage and professionally in partnerships was the other highlight of the day with Mr. Buffett explaining that these decisions are more important than any investment decision. However it should be noted that Mr. Buffett's command of fact and figure regarding each question was very impressive and no one left the room without an impression of awe at his mastery of asset allocation. The two hours of questions went by in a flash and it was time for lunch. From the outside Piccolo Pete's on South 20th Street in Omaha is again not what one might expect as a preferred haunt of a billionaire, but once inside the attention to service and value made it clear that this was well thought out choice. I must admit I was a bit skeptical of the pairing of steak and root beer floats, but again I learned something new! Following lunch Mr. Buffett graciously made himself available for photographs with each student, a process which took considerable time and at no point did if feel as if there were anywhere else in the world he needed to be; it is one thing to get face-time with someone of such fame and knowledge, but to receive such attention was really a once in lifetime experience. Bellies full, cameras full and brains awash with the mornings events we headed off to the last stop, Borsheims. Being a followup act to Mr. Buffett is not a billing most people will opt into, however Ms. Susan Jacques, president and CEO, showed our group the same attention and courtesy we had received from Mr. Batt and Mr. Buffett. Ms. Jacques explained the business model of Borsheims focused on value and selection, much the same as we heard earlier in the day at the Nebraska Furniture Mart. Ms. Jacques took questions on a wide array of topics, one in particular prompted a discussion of social responsibility in the diamond trade. Ms. Jacques ardent opinions regarding what a business should do to ensure that in a pursuit for value one should not lose sight of the externalities of a product. As with Mr. Batt and Mr. Buffett it became very clear that Ms. Jacques did in fact "tap dance to work each day." In the morning I had expected a day filled with asset allocation acumen and sage-like advice on all things financial. Instead we were treated to a recurring theme of value being the primary goal and personal choices and dedication being the vehicle. Each individual piece of the trip would have been valuable enough for the trip to Omaha and each in its own way has been a major milestone in my education at USD. This was truly an amazing experience. |
" Mr. Buffett simply has a way with words and charisma that make it nearly impossible to lose focus...All in all, the trip was one of the best I have ever been on." |
October 22nd started bright and early in the B-School parking lot. We were leaving for Omaha to meet and greet with three of the top leaders in the business world, namely Warren Buffett. The bus ride to our first stop, Nebraska Furniture Mart, was filled with coffee, copies of the Wall Street Journal, and excitement. For each of us this was a chance to ask questions and seek advice from some of our greatest business role models. Perhaps a chance we may never see again.
After making the trip to Omaha, we were met by Bob Batt, executive vice-president of the famed Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM). He gave us and the other business school students from top tier universities an inside look at the operations and scope of NFM. Mr. Batt could not emphasize enough the core values of the company that had made it so successful through the decades. A laser focus on customer value and lean operations were among the many key points made throughout his presentation. In passing, you may never know Bob was a vice-president of such a successful company, but after the time we spent with him, it was clear that he knew exactly how to grow and lead a great business. "when you take care of the customer, they will take care of the stock price." This type of core philosophy instilled within himself and employees will keep this company successful for many years to come.
Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha as he has been nicknamed was going to meet with us and share his incredible insight next. We raced to the building housing one of the most successful businesses in the world, Berkshire Hathaway, in hopes of getting front row seats. Unfortunately, another school beat us to the punch. However, with some clever jockeying (mainly from Dr. Lavin!) we were able to secure front row seats in the "cloud room" atop the offices. The next two hours were filled with insight into business and life in general that was so profound and yet so simplistic. Mr. Buffet simply has a way with words and charisma that make it nearly impossible to lose focus. Piccolo Petes was kind enough to host all us for lunch following the Q&A session. Buffett was good enough to pick up the tab for the 150 + students and faculty. He also spent enough time with each student for a picture and a few shared words after lunch.
The trips final stage was held at Borsheim's Fine Jewelry. We meet with Ms. Jacques, CEO of the jewelry company. Her story of overcoming life in Zimbabwe and moving up the business ladder here in the states was riveting. She is truly someone whom I would model my business core values and ethics around.
The trip ended with a long bus ride home full of great memories and sleepy faces. All in all, the trip was one of the best I have ever been on. The time spent there could not have been better spent under any conditions. Thank you so very much to Dr. Lavin, the business school, and all the people who made this trip possible!
"Students that were curious about whether the trip would be worth their $25 and their Friday, left Omaha with a day full of laughs, advice, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet an admirable human being." |
Twenty seven business students embarked south, towards Omaha, Nebraska, on Friday the 22nd of October at 5:45 a.m. There were many thoughts going through their heads. Some students were wondering why they were wearing a suit this early in the morning; others were thinking about classes they would miss, most were wondering whether this trip to visit with one of the greatest investors of all time, Warren Buffet, would be worth their $25 and their Friday.
The University of South Dakota students stepped off the bus and walked into the Nebraska Furniture Mart showroom, along with students from Illinois, Wisconsin, Denver, Pepperdine, Villanova, and Nebraska Omaha, for the first stop of the day's tour. They were guided to the downstairs showroom and greeted by Irv Blumkin, CEO, and grandson of Nebraska Furniture Mart's founder, Rose Blumkin. The students were shown around the many different facilities of Nebraska Furniture Mart while being told about the company's business model. Students from all over the country asked Mr. Blumkin questions ranging from business strategy to the company's relationship with Mr. Buffet. The tour concluded in Nebraska Furniture Mart's impressive electronics department. The next stop on the tour was Berkshire Hathaway headquarters.
All the students in attendance suddenly quickened their pace while exiting to their busses. The pace turned into a jog as the students unloaded from their buses at the Kiewit Plaza, home of Berkshire Hathaway. The students ascended to the 16th floor of the Kiewit Plaza known as the cloud room. Students from the University of South Dakota were lucky enough to get front row seats in a room filled with one hundred and sixty MBA and undergraduate business students. The room was anxiously waiting the arrival of the man known as the Oracle of Omaha.
Mr. Buffet opened by stating a few quick facts about himself and Berkshire Hathaway. He then declared that he would begin taking questions. Students could ask questions pertaining to any subject matter. Topics ranged from politics, foreign investment strategy, personal advice, to his views about marriage. Mr. Buffet answered all questions without a second's hesitation, and managed to keep the crowd thoroughly entertained for the two hour duration using wise cracks and humorous analogies. To say Mr. Buffet is a great public speaker is an understatement.
Shortly following the question and answer session all one hundred and sixty of the students were treated to lunch on Mr. Buffet at Piccolo Pete's, a family owned restaurant in Omaha. After the students were fed their choice of steak, chicken, cod, or vegetarian, everyone gathered in the restaurant's parking lot to get their picture taken with Warren Buffet. Mr. Buffet must have taken over three hundred pictures in a photo shoot that lasted an hour. Each picture taken was more comical and light hearted than the last. A few photos consisted of a fake proposal to a female student, plenty of "fist pounds", and there was even a photo taken of Mr. Buffet trading eye glasses with a University of South Dakota MBA student.
To conclude the tour the students visited what Mr. Buffet called the "gem in Berkshire's crown", Borsheim's. Borsheim's is an Omaha operated jewelry company managed by CEO Susan Jacques. Ms. Jacques discussed with the students the importance of being in a business that makes you passionate. After speaking with Ms. Jacques the students were able to browse Borshiem's selection of jewelry.
The day ended as the students loaded back onto the buses to return to their universities. Students that were curious about whether the trip would be worth their $25 and their Friday, left Omaha with a day full of laughs, advice, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet an admirable human being.

Winners awarded in the Victoria Fire Department's fire safety poster contest
Sept. 30, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Updated Oct. 1, 2011 at 5:01 a.m.
1st Grade: Tim Edmondson, of Mission Valley Elementary
2nd Grade: Abigail Pena, of Shields Elementary
3rd Grade: Jayauna Cameron, of Shields Elementary
4th Grade: Zachary Braune, of Schorlemmer Elementary
5th Grade: Ryan M. Perez, of Guadalupe Elementary
Victoria Fire Safety provided trophies
Rosewood Funeral Home contributed money toward Walmart gift cards
Citgo contributed money toward Walmart gift cards
Ryan M. Perez, a student at Guadalupe Elementary School spent countless hours working on his fire safety poster in preparation for the Fire Prevention Week poster contest.
This is Ryan's third year participating in the poster contest - and his third year to take home a first place ribbon.
Ryan said the best thing about participating in the contest is taking time to focus on fire safety tips.
"My favorite fire safety tip is getting your family out of the house to get to a safe spot," Ryan said.
Ryan has incorporated this theme in each of his award-winning posters over the past three years.
This year, the national theme for Fire Prevention Week is keeping your family safe from fire.
The Victoria Fire Department held a poster contest for first- through fifth-grade students throughout Victoria city and county beginning on Sept. 1.
Twenty-six schools participated, turning in more than 500 posters.
First place winners were selected for each grade from each of the 26 schools on Monday, and a first-place winner was selected for each grade from the top 26 posters on Wednesday.
Fourth-grade winner Zachary Braune's poster illustrated a right and a wrong approach to six different areas of fire safety.
Jayauna Cameron, who placed first in the third grade category, said her favorite fire safety tip was not playing with matches.
She said she enjoyed using cotton balls and foil to create a three-dimensional pot on her poster, reminding people not to leave their stoves unattended. Jayauna's poster also featured a three-dimensional match box and fire extinguisher.
Victoria City Fire Marshal Tom Legler presented trophies and Walmart gift cards to the winners Friday afternoon at Victoria Fire Station No. 1 on Goodwin Avenue.
"This is the first time I ever got a trophy," first-grade winner Tim Edmondson. Tim said he enjoyed coloring his poster.
His favorite fire safety tip is also to not leaving the stove unattended and remembering to "stop, drop and roll."
The stop, drop and roll drill is also one of second-grade winner Abigail Pena's favorite aspects of practicing fire drills with her family.
The posters will be displayed in the Victoria Mall from Oct. 7-17.

Nasus art rework and a new 5v5 map
When Elise was released, Riot did a big thing where there was kind of a big "package"; she was part of an entire patch that had this entire Shadow Isles theme, new items, and a new version of Twisted Treeline, in addition to Elise herself. Well, after reviewing the most recent additions to the champ roster, I noticed something: we haven't seen anything happen from the Nasus/Renekton story arc in a long time. Granted, it kind of feels like Riot is starting to care less and less about the lore, but I think someone could take the Nasus/Renekton story and do a kind of "package" thing, like what was done with Elise and the Shadow Isles: a new champ from that story arc could be developed, and be released with a new Ancient Egypt/Desert themed 5v5 map. Now I know that Riot has recently stated that they have no plans to do a new 5v5 map anytime soon, but I still think it would be a great idea. As part of this package, Nasus can also get some new artwork; heaven knows he needs it (currently, he looks like a cartoon character compared to the artwork of, say, Jayce or Zed).
I don't think I am the only one that feels this way about the Nasus and Renekton lore either; I have seen the ideas of other summoners who would also like to see at least a new champ from this story arc. Unfortunately, I don't remember the summoner's names, but I saw some very interesting suggestions for an AP mid champ modeled after the Ancient Egyptian god Bastet (in the same way that Nasus is modeled after Anubis), or a support champ that is like an Arabian genie (Malzahar has a skin kind of like this, but I think this concept can be developed further). Personally, I think it might be cool to see an AD carry modeled after the Egyptian falcon god Horus. I know none of this is going to happen anytime soon, but I still think it is a cool idea. |
I support the idea, Nasus was my first champion and I believe he deserves new artwork
Out of all that I mentioned, I do think that new Nasus artwork and a new champ from that story arc are the most feasible. I doubt we will be seeing a new map anytime soon. But I have seen many interesting suggestions for champs, like the ones I mentioned.
This seems....AWESOME
Please RIOT!! BUMP!
i highly support this as although asus wasn my first, he s the closest to my favourite god anubis and i loe te desert and that rthere should be anoter 5v5map other than sommerners rift, you could male a 5 lane game
Both Renekton and Nasus are based off of Egyptian gods, and I agree new art and a new champ to the mix would be nice. There are many Egyptian gods Riot, please make something happen. And I would love the 5v5 decked out to look like Egypt at least for like a special release. I mean they used to do it for Halloween and Christmas, so why not then.
I have been obsessed with the Egyptian gods since i was little and was drawn straight to nasus and renekton, this is a great idea. As everyone is saying it will be a slow process but i think it would be great to have any concept ideas for this posted to the thread so we can make some headway. I have yet to try creating the abilities for champs and lore, ect but i could start on some artistic concepts and really want to see this idea come to life!

BERLIN — Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut died from drowning after collapsing due to swelling of his brain and falling into his enclosure's pool, an expert said Friday.
Pathologist Claudia Szentiks said a necropsy of the 4-year-old bear who died suddenly two weeks ago showed he was suffering from encephalitis, an irritation and swelling of the brain that was likely brought on by an infection.
She said it was unclear specifically what caused the brain swelling, but that experts had ruled out rabies, botulism and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease.
Szentiks also rejected allegations from animal-rights groups that he was traumatized by living in a zoo environment, saying that there were no indications of any chronic stress.

- Paula Patton Models for Ellen Tracy: I Don't Even Want to Look Back at Photos of My Old Outfits! (PHOTOS)
She added that even if Knut had not drowned after his collapse, he would not have survived the damage from the encephalitis.
Knut died March 19 in front of visitors at Berlin zoo, turning around several times and then falling into the water in his enclosure. Polar bears usually live 15 to 20 years in the wild and even longer in captivity.
Story: Knut, Berlin's beloved polar bear, dies in his compoundKnut, who was born in December 2006 at the zoo, rose to celebrity status as an irresistibly cute, fluffy cub.
Knut was rejected by his mother at birth — along with his twin brother, who only survived a couple of days. He attracted attention when his main caregiver, Thomas Doerflein, camped out at the zoo to give the button-eyed cub his bottle every two hours.
Story: Newt (the politician) mourns Knut (the polar bear)The bear went on to appear on magazine covers, in a film and on mountains of merchandise.
Doerflein, the zookeeper who raised him, died in 2008 of a heart attack.

NF-kappaB transcription factors have key roles in inflammation, immune response, oncogenesis and protection against apoptosis. In most cells, these factors are kept inactive in the cytoplasm through association with IkappaB inhibitors. After stimulation by various reagents, IkappaB is phosphorylated by the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex and degraded by the proteasome, allowing NF-kappaB to translocate to the nucleus and activate its target genes. Here we report that CYLD, a tumour suppressor that is mutated in familial cylindromatosis, interacts with NEMO, the regulatory subunit of IKK. CYLD also interacts directly with tumour-necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), an adaptor molecule involved in signalling by members of the family of TNF/nerve growth factor receptors. CYLD has deubiquitinating activity that is directed towards non-K48-linked polyubiquitin chains, and negatively modulates TRAF-mediated activation of IKK, strengthening the notion that ubiquitination is involved in IKK activation by TRAFs and suggesting that CYLD functions in this process. Truncations of CYLD found in cylindromatosis result in reduced enzymatic activity, indicating a link between impaired deubiquitination of CYLD substrates and human pathophysiology.

First YouTube Video + Contest Results!Heya There Guys!
First thing: i'd like to apologize for my delay in announcing the Final Results of the Contest, but i decided to extend the Votations.
Second thing: MAJOR News! Among which is the fact that i made my First YouTube Video and a Facebook Page!
(Feel free to Like it if you agree with what i say in my video and the general purpose of this page)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dex91/346330452135645 *-*
I made this YouTube Video because i feel a Video will be much better than reading a description, and because i intend to post more videos (probably video-tutorials) in the future!
There is some crap here and there, in fact I actually wanted to make a serious video with a serious speech.. but my die-hard frisky side and my urgency to be considered an idiot got the best of me after the first half of the video. So yeah, 8 Min may seem a lot but it actually is 3-4 min of speech and 4 mins of music/total idiocy.
Please wa
