text: An interesting part could also be if companies managed to become CO2 neutral. Palsgaard from Denmark has set an overall target of becoming CO2-neutral by 2020. This is an extremely ambitious target for a company with very energy-intensive production processes. It is therefore gratifying to note that Palsgaard in 2012 managed to keep its CO2 emissions per kilo of finished product at 2011 levels. That is interesting!

There's a buzz in the air, sending a very clear message: Syfy is looking to greenlight some scripts, probably within the next week. Strangely, Syfy might be ordering these scripts straight to series instead of the traditional order of a pilot. The two series that look like they'll be getting the greenlight love both come from Battlestar Galactica creator and executive producer Ron Moore. They are Helix and The Almighty Johnsons. I don't know if they'll get that series order, but I think they have a great shot thanks to their intriguing – and very different – premises. But why listen to me gush about these potential shows? Allow me to introduce you to them.
According to Deadline, Helix revolves around a team of scientists investigating a disease outbreak in an Antarctic research facility. Right off the bat, you've got my interest by making this an isolated story, but you've also made me extremely wary. I know a disease is very different from an alien attack, but I can't help thinking this bares more than a passing similarity to the classic horror movie The Thing. Obviously I have not read the script – Cameron Porsandeh wrote the spec script the pilot is based on – so this is just my projection right now. It's still sounds very interesting and could be nothing like The Thing.
As for The Almighty Johnsons, it will center on Axl Johnson, who discovers on his 21st birthday he and his family are the reincarnations of Norse Gods. It's an adaptation of a New Zealand fantasy comedy/drama created by James Griffin and Rachel Lang. I'm not sure how great this will look on a Syfy budget, but the concept sounds too good to be true. If properly nailed, we could have something truly magnificent. Or a big pile of poo. It could go either way. It's being produced by All3Media's South Pacific Pictures with Chris Dingess writing the adaptation.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
—William Shakespeare
Situations in life are affected by our personal experiences. What appears one way to one person does not always appear the same to the next, because events in our lives have not been the same.
What we bring to each situation is unique to us because the whole of our lives comes along with that. Our spiritual journeys, our relationships, family of origin issues, these all play into who we are as adults. No two people have the same exact experiences although we all share in some.
This can make relationships difficult. No matter how good we are at communication that too is affected on both sides of a relationship based upon what each brings to the table.
Things are rarely black and white, good or bad. They just are what they are. And there are shades of gray in them as well. We, as humans, fail. We do things we regret and we hurt other people, sometimes based upon what they think about the situation more so than what we did.
We need to listen to what another has to say. We need to really hear what they are saying and not hear it from just our point of view. We need to try our best to discern their communication without letting our experiences or old hurts alter what they said.
Mostly we need to remember that things are not always as we perceive them. And that the situation has more involved than our experiences and thoughts. We can give others the right to think and feel as they will based upon where they are on their journey.
There is often no right or wrong, but something in between.

Broncos promote McCarthy, Alexander
Posted By Mike Klis On October 16, 2010 @ 3:48 pm In General Broncos | No Comments
There is no replacing strong safety Brian Dawkins or outside linebacker Robert Ayers. There are some special teams voids, though, that the Broncos' hope rookies Kyle McCarthy and Kevin Alexander can fill.
McCarthy, an undrafted safety from Notre Dame, and Alexander, an undrafted linebacker from Clemson, were promoted Saturday from the practice squad. They essentially will fill the special teams roles of the injured Darcel McBath and Wesley Woodyard.
To make room for McCarthy and Alexander, the Broncos once again waived running back Andre Brown and cut veteran offensive lineman D'Anthony Batiste.

Fewer U.S. homes entered the foreclosure process or were repossessed by banks in June.
The foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac says banks initiated the foreclosure process on about 57,200 U.S. homes last month.
That's the lowest level for any month in 7� years and down sharply from May and June last year.
Completed foreclosures also posted steep monthly and annual declines in June, at 35,500 homes.
The trend is the latest sign that the nation is shaking off its housing bust hangover.
The U.S. housing recovery continues to gain strength, propelled by steady job gains, low interest rates and rising home values.
Even so, foreclosures remain a potential drag on housing in many states, including Florida, Nevada, Illinois, Ohio and Georgia.

Dallas Intermodal Terminal
The 360-acre Dallas Intermodal Terminal (DIT) is located just 12 miles from downtown Dallas, within the city limits of Hutchins and Wilmer, Texas. Designed to support the growing intermodal volume in the region, this central location provides quick access to the counties that comprise 97 percent of the Dallas metroplex population, and is in direct proximity to the five fastest growing counties.
Trucks can gain access to the railport via a high-tech, biometric secured AGS (automated gate system) entrance. This technology allows a trucker to process a container through the gate in 30-90 seconds, as compared to a national average of four minutes. Built with quality in mind, this clean, safe and well-lit intermodal facility will provide nearby highway and interstate access to maximize trucker convenience.
The railport is located adjacent to Interstate 45 at Fulghum Road - approximately six miles south of UP's Miller Intermodal facility and approximately 3 miles south of Interstate 20.
Facility Features
- 365,000 Lift Capacity and 4,000 Parking Stalls
Increased capacity and more improved terminal efficiency allows for faster container availability.
- 10-Lane Automated Gate System (AGS) Entrance
Enhances gate capacity to minimize motor carrier congestion and improve gate/terminal throughput. Improves truck turn times, resulting in lower drayage costs.
- State-of-the-Art Security
Security fencing, lighting and full gate inspections provide a secure, theft-resistant environment for customer's cargo while at the terminal.
- 24 Hour, Seven-Day-a-Week Operations
Enhanced customer and motor carrier operational convenience and flexibility.
Real time OASIS software utilized to maximize terminal efficiencies and provide customers visibility of their shipments at all times.
- Four Loading Tracks
Allows for expedited loading/unloading capability, resulting in improved container availability.
- Repair Buildings
Allows for on-site repair and maintenance of cranes and ramp tractors to ensure efficient, uninterrupted operations.
- Customs
Dallas Intermodal Terminal will be located within the Dallas Customs District.
- Close to UP's Miller Intermodal Facility
This facility more than doubles our intermodal capacity that serves the Dallas Fort Worth market. The proximity of the DIT facility to the Miller terminal helps to ensure a seamless transition to this new facility.
- Adjacent to Planned Industrial Park
Industrial park will cover approximately 4,500 acres and will offer tennants a build-to-suit option.
- Future Expansion
Union Pacific has designed this new facility with room for future expansion to keep pace with our customers' growth requirements. - Print this page from a PDF file .

About the Heritage Tour
Experience the history, culture and lifestyle of multi-racial Singapore, a dynamic city-state and the gateway to Asia! This tour showcases the contrast between tradition and modernity; a glimpse into the unique blend of East and West. The journey will offer you a panoramic view of the cityscape and its landmarks like the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay before briefly stopping at the Merlion Park. Situated at the mouth of the Singapore River, the Merlion is Singapore's national icon. It symbolizes the history of Singapore as a "Lion City" and famous sea port. The tour will end with a visit to either Chinatown or Little India.
Chinatown was home to the early Chinese settlers and is one of the must-see cultural enclaves for visitors in Singapore. A bustling, colourful mix of old and new, the area consists of exotic pre-war shophouses which are home to merchants who have been hawking the same wares for years.
With the cacophony of car horns, bicycle bells and local residents' chatter, Little India is one of the most charming and vibrant ethnic enclaves in Singapore. Here, its spice-scented streets beckon you to an abundance of ethnic jewellery, jasmine garlands and silk saris.
About the City Lights Tour
As night falls, Singapore takes on another persona to offer a vibrant array of nightlife and entertainment options. Enjoy a panoramic view of Singapore's famous icons along the Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade – the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade. Other highlights along the tour are Bugis Village and Raffles Hotel.
Bugis Village is a famous night market frequented by locals. It is full of shops and stalls selling everything from souvenirs to clothing and fashion accessories.
Raffles Hotel is named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore. Famed for its plush accommodation and elegant restaurants, the hotel is also home to the legendary Singapore Sling.

Humans generally don't have their heads take up half their body. Nor can they go anywhere in space without a helmet.
(We'd fall over as a result of the weight with the former, and you'd die quite horribly with the latter. Space is not nice when it comes to that sort of thing.)
You are correct, but the comments are for talking about whatever is on this page, which is not a professional, scientific abstract on the subject of space.
It's a game. The point of a game is to have fun, regardless of whether or not it makes sense.
It's great that you know a lot about space, but a dress-up game that is clearly less-than-realistic (and not supposed to be educational), is generally not the best place for it.
In the end, this game goes more for science fiction than for science fact.

According to Jewish tradition, an infant is presented to God in the temple 40 days after his birth. February 2nd is 40 days after the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
The festival of Epiphany, Three Kings Day (January 6th) in the Christmas season is when people share a Rosca de Reyes cake. Hidden in the cake are a number of plastic baby Jesus. Whoever finds the Niño Dios (baby doll Jesus) has the responsibility to prepare the next holiday fiesta, Dia de la Candelaria (blessing of seeds and candles).

When I was much younger (and a bit thinner) I brought home a "junk" inner tube from the tire store that must have come from some sort of big earthmoving machine like a payloader. The tube was huge and probably weighed the better part of 50-60 pounds.
I cut out a section of it and found that it would just fit snugly over my torso. So I fashioned a kind of vest/apron out of it. The rubber was so thick it lmost "felt" like it might have been "bullet proof"! ;-)
I thought about making some kind of suit or sleep sack out of it but the natural curvature of the tube shape made that not very feasible.
I'll bet you could fashion a nice corset out of this stuff, tho'. If anyone has done this, please tell us how you did it, what kinds of design problems you ran into and how you resolved them.
Want to go deeper? Explore RubberNaut.com
Cut the innertube in half, turn insideout, and it forms a perfect waist shaping curve. Then add eyelets and boning and there you have it. See attached truck tire innertube corset I made some 25 years ago. I no longer have it, but it was very strong
Wow! that's incredible!Originally spoken by Latextex
Hmmm.. I wonder if you could make a pair of moccasins or slippers from innertube rubber to protect the delicate attached feet of your catsuit?
What else could you (feasibly) make from inner tube rubber?
Want to go deeper? Explore RubberNaut.com
I've been looking for good and sturdy rubber corset for some time, all I have come across are all either flimsy , have a bad cut, are wrong made , or worse all those combined . I have one Axfords[rdx]6693[/rdx] (satin, size24) corset that fits, well ,like a corset should. To find some like that in rubber would be a dream. But I don't need a so called fashion corset which can't stand tightlacing or waist training, I need a real one. So share your experiences, hopes Elly

I've seen and shot both Murry & Vern[rdx]150[/rdx] and Inner Sanctum[rdx]1891[/rdx] corsets up close and they're both really well built and solid.

Hi Elly, Check out
It's a satin corset which is well boned and seems to have put up with some tight lacing.
Also from FairyGothMother[rdx]87[/rdx]
I have a friend who bought one like this from them, it's rubber and has also lasted a year of some tight abuse!
Last edited by Ataraxia; 2004-Oct-11 at 16:12.
I did look FairyGoodmothers[rdx]87[/rdx] corsets at the sundays (10.3) Fetish Expo and they did have nice and good corsets - but none of them was made of rubber. I checked all vendors booths and none did have what I searched, and maybe I didn't look like a potential buyer should look , I didn't get any information of corsets that werent on display too . So I must dig even deeper on this subject .

Hi, this is great. i love using innertubes for my fetish stuff but what do you use to put it all together. glue or sewing also how do you get rid of that powder on the inside of the tube?
blessed bee
Hi to All
Hello Aquatred
Bicycle innertubes can ofcourse be glued with repair glue for innertubes.
Car innertubes; I only once (long ago) tried to make some wrists and ankle cuffs out of it using rivets.
And used an awl to make holes which later caused the rubber to tear.
About the talc ,I only remove it (with a wet cloth)from the parts which needed to be glued(see the Innertubes page on my site).

Braintree Town Football Club is an English football club based in Braintree, Essex. The club participates in the Conference Premier, the fifth tier of English football. The team play their home matches at Cressing Road.
The club was formed in 1898 as Manor Works, the works team of the Crittall Window Company, from which they gained their nickname IRON[1] The new club took over the fixtures of the recently defunct Braintree F.C. in the North Essex League, and also took on most of the former club's players.[1] They left the league in 1900, but returned in 1901. They won the title in 1905–06, 1910–11 and 1911–12. In 1911 they also joined Division 2A of the Essex & Suffolk Border League, remaining in the league until 1928.
In 1921 they were renamed Crittall Athletic to be more closely identified with their parent company.[1] After winning Division 2A West twice, they were promoted to the Senior Division of the Border League in 1925. In 1928 they joined the Spartan League, and in 1935 were founder members of the Eastern Counties League. They won the league in its second season, but then left to join the newly established Essex County League.[2] The new league folded after a single season (in which Crittall were runners-up) and the club returned to the ECL.
After World War II the ECL did not resume in 1945, so Crittall joined the Eastern Division London League instead. After finishing second in their first season, they were promoted to the Premier Division. They were invited to rejoin the ECL in 1947, but turned the offer down and remained in the London League, where they won the League Cup twice before returning to the ECL in 1952.[1] In 1954 they turned professional, but financial problems forced them to revert to amateur status and drop back down into the Border League at the end of the 1954–55 season.
In 1959–60 they won the league and League Cup double. They switched to the Greater London League in 1964, and then to the Metropolitan League in 1966. They were renamed Braintree & Crittall Athletic in 1968,[3] and in 1970 returned to the ECL again. In 1981 all links with Crittall were severed and the club was renamed Braintree F.C.,[1][4] before adopting their current name in 1983.[5] They won their second ECL title in 1983–84 and retained it the following season. In 1986–87 they won the Essex Senior Trophy and the following season they won the League Cup.
In 1991 the club stepped up to the Southern Division of the Southern League. In 1996 the club asked the FA to switch leagues to reduce their travelling. After initially being refused, they were allowed to move to Division Three of the Isthmian League, although it was an effective drop of two divisions.[1] They were promoted as runners-up in their first season, and repeated the feat the following season. After three seasons in Division One they were promoted to the Premier Division with a third-place finish in 2000–01. They won the Premier Division in 2005–06 to earn promotion to the Conference South.
They reached the play-offs in their first season in the Conference South, but lost 1–0 to Salisbury City in the final. They also reached the play-offs the following season, but lost to Eastbourne Borough in the semi-finals. In 2010–11 they finished as Conference South champions, earning promotion to the Conference Premier.
After being founded, Manor Works initially played at the Fair Field, now the site of the town hall, library and bus station.[1] They moved to Spaldings Meadow in Panfield Lane in 1903. In 1923 the club moved to a new ground on Cressing Road which had been built by their parent company. Due to problems with the pitch in 1975, the club were forced to play matches at several other venues, including Heybridge Swifts' Scraley Road (a single match on 26 April arranged at such short notice that many fans arrived at Cressing Road for the match and only 50 attended the game), Braintree Rugby Club's Tabor Avenue (at the start of the 1975–76 season) and the Courtaulds Sports Ground in Church Street in Bocking (a single match against Gorleston on 6 September 1975 with a crowd of 73).[1]

Chiang Khong
Travel Guide
Chiang Khong is set on the far northern Thai border, straight across the swirling waters of the Mekong River from the Lao town of Huay Xai. Chiang Khong is primarily known for being one of the more popular border crossings for backpackers and independent travellers travelling to and/or from Laos.
Long and thin, Chiang Khong runs in an east-west direction along the southern bank of the Mekong River. The river's bank is lined with a bunch of guesthouses and small restaurants. Guesthouses and backpacker cafes aside, Chiang Khong is a typical small Thai town -- wander away from the riverfront and you could be pretty much anywhere in Thailand.
While many view the town as nothing more than an overnight stop to or from Laos, Chiang Khong has a few outlying attractions in its own right, including waterfalls and rapids -- both of which can be visited on short trips organised at your guesthouse, or independently if you have your own transport. If you have the time, or by chance are not going to Laos, you could easily spend a couple of days here -- some spend a lot longer.
For those in a rush to get to Laos there are nightly direct buses from Bangkok to Chiang Khong.

Our recommendations
Chiang Khong is a bit of a victim of its location. If it didn't happen to be at an international border crossing with Laos, it would be a destination in its own right. As it stands, by the time most get here, all they want to do is Get To Laos. If you happen to have time on your hands, however, Chiang Khong has quite a bit to do and see.
There are waterfalls, pleasing river scenery, remote wats, great bicycle potential and a ridiculously cheap nightclub. If all that sounds passe, then by all means get the boat over to Laos, but otherwise, ask around for the "Chiang Khong Sightseeing Map", get yourself some wheels and do some exploring.
One note to those with their own transport: There are two routes from Chiang Saen to Chiang Khong -- the longer by the river, the shortcut over the hill. The riverfront one is very interesting, but the over-the-hill route includes a killer viewpoint. It's difficult to recommend one over the other -- try both!

Kardashian Family Reveals Annual Christmas Card
Originally posted 12/02/2013 02:00PM
If you think Christmas can be a bit of a circus, the Kardashians seem to agree.
It wouldn't be the holidays in Hollywood without the anticipated unveiling of the Kardashian Christmas card, and this year's family photo is decidedly more high fashion than last year's more traditional white Christmas.
The glam, golden, glitzy photo features the Kardashian-Jenner clan draped in black and posing in a graffiti-strewn, artistically-trashed carnival-inspired room, littered with dollar signs, pop art and magazines, that looks as if it was taken in post-Mad Max Vegas.
Shot by famed photographer David LaChappelle, the photo seems to state that life as a member of the Kardashian family is a constant media circus.

In most breaded fish dishes, the fish is coated with a flour or cornmeal mixture and fried, making the fish high in both carbs and fat. In this recipe, the coating is whole wheat cereal crumbs, and the fish is oven-fried.
Oxmoor House JANUARY 2005
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Coat with cooking spray.
3. Combine crumbs, salt, and red pepper in a small bowl; stir well. Dip fillets in beaten egg white; dredge in crumb mixture. Place fillets on pan. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Girugamesh (Japanese: ギルガメッシュ Girugamesshu) is the name of a Japanese metal band, which was derived from the ancient Sumerian king Gilgamesh.[1] On the web, Girugamesh now refers to an internet meme that sprang out of a web commercial made for the 2009 Sakura-Con, an annual anime convention in Seattle.[2] In the 30-sec promo taking place at a sushi bar, a brief-second appearance of a man in gothic attire stood out as highly exploitable.
Dressed in Hot Topic-like fashion, the young man awkwardly shouts the name of his favorite Japanese metal band, Girugamesh, which happens to be the Engrish pronunciation of Gilgamesh.
4chan is believed to be the earliest host of "Girugamesh" screen captures, but they were often used to spam the boards, with only the Girugamesh image macros appearing on an entire page. The rapid-fire use of the has calmed, however it is still occasionally used to spam /b/.
On YouTube, many parodies and reposts exist:
Sparta Techno Remix:
Clash on the Big Bridge Remix:
Slowed Down & Pixelated:
Google Trends
As the graph suggests, search traffic of "Girugamesh" spiked noticeably following the upload of Sakura-con commercial in April 2009.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo | LewRockwell.com | October 6, 2008
The current economic crisis is the inevitable consequence of what I call Hamilton's Curse in my new book of that name. It is the legacy of Alexander Hamilton and his political, economic, and constitutional philosophy. As George Will once wrote, Americans are fond of quoting Jefferson, but we live in Hamilton's country.
The great debate between Hamilton and Jefferson over the purpose of government, which animates American politics to this day, was very much about economic policy. Hamilton was a compulsive statist who wanted to bring the corrupt British mercantilist system – the very system the American Revolution was fought to escape from – to America. He fought fiercely for his program of corporate welfare, protectionist tariffs, public debt, pervasive taxation, and a central bank run by politicians and their appointees out of the nation's capital.
Jefferson and his followers opposed him every step of the way because they understood that Hamilton's agenda was totally destructive of liberty. And unlike Hamilton, they took Adam Smith's warnings against economic interventionism seriously.
Hamilton complained to George Washington that "we need a government of more energy" and expressed disgust over "an excessive concern for liberty in public men" like Jefferson. Hamilton "had perhaps the highest respect for government of any important American political thinker who ever lived," wrote Hamilton biographer Clinton Rossiter.
Hamilton and his political compatriots, the Federalists, understood that a mercantilist empire is a very bad thing if you are on the paying end, as the colonists were. But if you are on the receiving end, that's altogether different. It's good to be the king, as Mel Brooks would say.
Hamilton was neither the inventor of capitalism in America nor "the prophet of the capitalist revolution in America," as biographer Ron Chernow ludicrously asserts. He was the instigator of "crony capitalism," or government primarily for the benefit of the well-connected business class. Far from advocating capitalism, Hamilton was "befogged in the mists of mercantilism" according to the great late nineteenth century sociologist William Graham Sumner.

Women in WordPress, Safety Officers and the Peanut Gallery
January 9th: I read and comment on this article about WordCamps and Women in WordPress. Are these women serious? I mean… come on…
January 10th: I read and comment on this article which basically rolls their eyes at that earlier article. Frankly, I've seen things go THE OTHER direction at WordCamps where women have behaved so bad – the glaring hypocrisy is too much for me.
I can't stand the, "Women as Victims" mentality. It is a sore spot with me & one of the MAIN REASONS I dropped out of THIS pre-law program in the late 90's where I would have studied under Sarah Weddington. If you know Roe v. Wade, Ms. Weddington won that case. I'm super sensitive to the issues women face – but I have no tolerance for victimizing women. My take on things is definitely different from 99% of the women I know. I believe in the sovereignty of personhood. I'm less about gender and more about that.
Anyway, I voice my opinion over both blogs and leave it at that. I'm also old enough to know that these sorts of discussions are for people other than myself. I'd rather sleep… or get caught up on a book I'm reading or go Twittering. I dislike conflict all the way around – I've done the activist thing. I'm tired. :)
Then: WordCamp Phoenix Happened
Here's the Play by Play from Jan 16-18th:
Thursday afternoon, I arrive and check into the hotel. I run into a fellow WordPresser I've not seen in a while. We chit-chat and then, for whatever reason – he ends our conversation – about parenting – with: "I can tell you are a woman who leaves a lot of men wanting." Me: "Um…(awkward laughter) ok…wow." No worries, really. I consider him a professional friend. It was weird, but I know him – so its really just banter and it didn't bother me…too much. Male 1, Incident 1.
Friday morning conversation with some of the leaders in the community. They ask, "What is your take on Women of WordPress issues? We're just curious." Me, "Honestly? I think it's blown out of proportion. We're all adults. We don't need babysitting."
This truly is sincerely how I felt: the activist women should really get a grip.
Professional based conversation on the floor Friday afternoon, with a male colleague. He randomly says in the middle of the conversation, "I really love your necklace, it's beautiful." This was SO far off base from what we were talking about that it took me a minute to switch gears. We were discussing something WordPress-based. Not personal at all. My response: "Um, ok, ah…(check which one it is) … yeah, thanks." I cringe, a little, internally, when I realize he hasn't been listening to ANYTHING we've been talking about. Waste of time. Moving on. Male 2, Incident 2.
Friday after-hours conversation about the need for a code of conductbecause of this "womanizing" that allegedly goes on at WordCamp conferences. The conversation is heated – and truth be told – I started it. I was making fun of the safety officers topic. Heated conversation turns to comedic situation and we all end the discussion near tears from laughing so hard. Yeah. You just had to be there. It was epic fun.
I end up talking, for a quite a while – and after most everyone else leaves – with a male peer. (actually Male #2 referenced above.) We have a great conversation … but… then it seems to turn in a direction I wasn't quite expecting. I don't remember all the details, but I do clearly remember him expressing to me that he thinks adults should be free to enjoy each other's bodies with no strings attached – if that's what THEY want to do. I'm not thinking anything of it except, "Uh…nope… don't agree…but whatever dude – to each his own!" and I let him rattle on about whatever. There's a few other people at the table and one female peer is pretty darn drunk – I specifically stayed to make sure she gets back to her hotel room ok. It's 2am in Phoenix…I'm not worried about Male #2 taking advantage of drunk friend. But I'm not about to leave her at the bar alone. Hello, this isn't rocket science.
However, much to my chagrin, this casual – questionable? – conversation ends in an unsolicited offer to hook up. I decline. Kind of taken back, I call John and tell him all the juicy details. "Did I misread something?" He educated me on what it means when men are "fishing" for a hookup. We laugh it off. (Well, John's not really amused.)
Saturday rolls around and I wake up thinking about all the different conversations from Friday. I kind of didn't want to go Saturday. I wanted to sleep in, maybe do some shopping. The Phoenix Art Walk was happening and I really wanted to check that out. But Paul and Taylor were talking Saturday and I really wanted to be there for that. Plus WPEngine was rolling out Drad Cast T-shirts! (Someone told me the night before about this little gem of awesomeness) and I really wanted to get a t-shirt for John.
I mosey over to the venue and of course Male #2 was there. Because I am confident, and like to make people squirm a bit, I made eye contact with him, smiled, and greeted him with a friendly hello EVERY chance I got. It was kind of amusing watching him avoid me. He was uncomfortable. Good.
The day is going better. Then…professional conversation with Male #3 happens. He cuts me off mid-sentence and says, "You have the most beautiful color eyes." I'm again surprised by this and respond with, "Um… thanks?? I've been…working on that color for a while??" In good news, another man overhears this and quickly turns around to remind Male #3, "…you're married. Cut it out. You're crossing a line." He tries to defend himself but is called out on it again. End of story. Dude now avoids me the rest of the afternoon. Awkward… but… innocent enough. Right? I guess….
I blow this all off…I'm a big girl. I can handle myself. And, really, all I have to do is completely avoid Male #1, 2 and 3 and I'm golden! But the truth is, these weren't no-names in the community. They are all kind of important people…and avoiding them was starting to kind of interfere with my Saturday. But, it was all innocent enough….right? I call John for some emotional reinforcement and I actually said, "I really wish I wasn't here alone." :/
After lunch chat on Saturday with Andrea Middleton about WHY there is this "Women in WordPress" issue – I'm STILL not getting it. I consider myself a fairly objective person. (Stop laughing.) She discusses. I can start to see the situation from a more global point of view, but still have the "eh…" attitude. I tell her I was propositioned. She wants to know by whom. I refuse to disclose. I don't really trust women anymore than I trust men. People's motives are always unclear…
Saturday after-WordCamp party. Tell the funny story about getting propositioned for a hookup to some others whom I trust. I disclose who it is. No one is surprised. Actually there are rumors about him and some of his friends… There's a "reputation." :/ Disappointing…
As Lema says, I'm "Done, done." with all of this.
I walk back to my hotel room Saturday night, feeling really out-of-place and the following stream of consciousness takes place:
- I definitely won't come to a WordCamp again without John.
- I guess I shouldn't have smiled so much.
- Next time I'll definitely guard myself around these guys.
- Maybe I shouldn't have been so interactive.
- Did I give off the wrong impression?
- Really wish I had John here to run interference.
- I'm not attending Sunday. This so exhausting. I just don't want to deal with it.
- Kind of an expensive trip to get blown b/c of all this. I was really looking forward to Sunday – now it's a little too awkward. I feel like I blew $1500 for… what. WordCamp Stickers?
- I'm not sure I want to come to a big event again. It's just a lot of money to spend for all this. And traveling with John = twice the expense. I can just google all the WordCamp topics. Stick to local events.
- I'll spend the extra money to book it out of here in the morning. I wonder how early of a flight I can get back to Texas.
- I sure wish John was here. If he were here this probably wouldn't have all gone this way.
- Wow Male #3 asked me to help him with something WordPress-y. But… why me? Because he thinks I'm actually helpful…or … yeah… I'm not going to follow up on that. Disappointing missed opportunity…
- I hope I don't see hook-up boy anytime soon…so awkward now.
- And God – seriously – I've never experienced so much peer pressure to get drunk than at WordCamps. Worse than high school!
- I wish we weren't always having casual networking in bars and loud party-venues. It's really exhausting and … the smoke…the beer… the liquor… eh.
- Next time I'll just not introduce myself to the men I don't know and stick a little closer to the women.
- Next time I'll have John stick close by so I'm not like – out there alone.
- Sort of stupid that in 2014 I want my man with me I'm "protected." That's so lame.
- You know it'd be so awesome if we had a Women of WordCamp Day where it was just females only.
WTF did I just say??
I literally stopped dead in my tracks in the courtyard of the hotel.
Think about my conversation with Andrea Middleton.
A Paradigm Shift
You know what? This is wrong. This is not how I should feel at the end of a WordCamp where I just landed a kick-ass job! (True story.) And where I had just spent $1500 on airfare, travel, hotel, registration, etc – and left John and kids at home – to come to WordCamp Phoenix. And on top of that….after talking to a few people, I find out the the offending parties are actually kind of known for this?? Creating a reputation for themselves – and ruining it for everyone?
This is NOT OK.
I expect to get hit on at the grocery store.
I expect some of the normal male/female banter (to some degree) when we're at bars drinking. Professional or not. But …. you know what? I think I agree with Andrea & Co. I actually don't think I should HAVE to expect this. The standard needs to be raised.
I'm a VERY confident person. A very confident woman. And I know that's an automatic attraction for some men. It's human nature. But there are a handful of guys ruining it for everyone and maybe they do need to be kicked out. OR at the very least – educated about how their behaviour really does affect women.
And you know what else? What about the other women who aren't as confident as I am. Who don't have the balls to speak up? Who don't have the fortitude to rise past it? Who aren't well connected, who are starting out… What about women who attend a WordCamp and this is their FIRST introduction to the community? My entire career in WordPress started at WordCamp Austin, 2013. WordCamp Phoenix 2014 = me joining forces with WebDevStudios. But you know what? Had I experienced THIS in Austin…I wouldn't have even bothered with WordPress.
It's not ok.
It's just not.
Oh, and Sarah Gooding, I owe you an apology.
IMPORTANT Post Script:
I've let several peers read this as I ruminated on whether or not to post this entry. Both male and female. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. It's with much trepidation that I share this story. But I hope it helps to open up a conversation that I really do believe should be had. Women deserve better. And – quite frankly – MEN deserve better. I've attended WordCamp Austin – never had a problem. I went to WordCamp San Francisco, had a super great time – no problems. I spoke at WordCamp Denver – was treated with the utmost respect by everyone there. I attend WordCamp Phoenix – solo – and BAM. What the heck?!?
Let's raise the standard for everyone. Only the utmost professionalism at WordCamps. Save your personal pursuits for Twitter and Facebook and off-the -record events. WordCamps aren't JUST community events. It's work. And this kind of behaviour – by even just a handful – is starting to taint what I think is one of the MOST supportive and encouraging environments for women in tech today.
Thanks for reading.
Be kind to one another in the comments.

Thanks Cindy!
In addition to the Sig, I also carry a S&W 640, which is an all-steel .357 j-frame snubbie revolver. When my clothing won't permit OWB, I usually carry it in a Remora holster, as shown in the pictures below. I can get away with a shaped (but not tight) shirt with this method. I find it very easy to draw from the position shown, just behind the hip on my strong side. When drawing, I yank up my shirt then drive my right thumb between my back and the grip, so the grip is in the "V" between my thumb and index finger. As I grip and draw, the muzzle is kept pointed downward and slightly away from my body as I bring the gun around my hip and into the forward position. Here's a link that explains drawing from the waist: Safety Matters: How to Use a Belt Holster | Cornered Cat
The Remora is nice because you can move it around to find just the right spot and angle on your waist. It's also quite comfortable, and fairly inexpensive. I believe it's demonstrated in the Falia Photography youtube video that's already been mentioned in this thread.
I haven't tried the compression shorts. It's so warm and humid here that I don't care to add layers of clothes unnecessarily. I also haven't tried any of the bra holsters, and don't intend to. Range practice with a bra holster could be problematic due to the fact that drawing right-handed would involve sweeping everyone to the left of you at the range; not to mention the need to pull up your shirt, especially for reholstering. Moreover, I don't think I'm well-endowed enough to conceal much in the chest area!
Good luck! I'm sure you'll find something that will work for you.

Hotels near the Samhuinn Festival
Samhuinn Festival
Edinburgh's Beltane Fire Society presents the Samhuinn Festival every Halloween. It's a spectacular procession of music, folk dance, physical theatre and fire illuminating the city.
The celebration of Samhuinn, traditionally a time of revelry marking the summer's end, is here turned into a macabre medieval pageant winding its way down the Royal Mile.
The festival is a modern retelling of a traditional Galoshins folk play, whereby the court of the Summer King is vanquished by that of the Winter King, whose own court chases out the remnants of the light half of the year.
Samhuinn Festival Information
When: Oct 2013 (annual)

Andre Del Bosque went 2 for 3 in his first game for the Regina Red Sox of the Western Major Baseball League.
When UHV coach Terry Puhl found out, he quickly got word to the Canadian summer league team that he didn't want Del Bosque to hit anymore.
"It's too dangerous to keep him out in right field," Puhl said. "With all the throwing he has to do - and then all of a sudden, we use him as a position player and a pitcher. We're not going to mess with that."
Del Bosque spent the rest of the summer on the mound, which is where he'll be when the Jaguars open the 2014 season against Doane College on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Riverside Stadium.
Cory Carter, Del Bosque's roommate in Canada, will be the starting pitcher for UHV.
Puhl said Del Bosque will relieve him in the middle innings before Orlando Quirogga finishes the game.
"Whatever coach has in mind," Del Bosque said. "He told me I was going to start, so I have to look after my arm and stay healthy."
Del Bosque has battled injuries since he graduated from St. Joseph in 2009.
He walked on at Temple College but sufferred an elbow injury and underwent Tommy John surgery during his freshman year.
After playing some in the outfield and being used as a designated hitter in his second year at Temple, he attended a UHV tryout and caught Puhl's attention.
"We saw him, and he was somebody we wanted," Puhl said. "He was coming off arm surgery. We took a lot of risk that way."
Del Bosque had an outstanding fall season at UHV but tore an oblique muscle in an intrasquad game a week before the 2013 season opener.
"I was trying to get my arm back in shape," Del Bosque said. "It's frustrating. You get to the top, and you have to go all the way back to the bottom."
Del Bosque recovered in time to be used out of the bullpen last season.
He pitched in 12 games and had a 1-0 record with two saves. He had a 6.75 ERA with 16 strikeouts and 13 walks in 18.2 innings.
"He had a tendency to come in, and then his velocity would sometimes drop off, and that's why we decided to use him as a closer," Puhl said. "Even last year, he tweaked his arm, and that set him back. His arm got out of shape. I feel he is way ahead of where he was in previous years."
Puhl decided to make Del Bosque a starter as he begins his junior season. Del Bosque is convinced he's up to the task.
"I think it had a lot to do with recovering because my endurance wasn't there last season," he said. "It was tough getting my velocity back and then having to maintain that. It was overwhelming, but I got some innings in this past summer, and they let me throw a lot this fall."
Puhl is well aware of Del Bosque's ability to swing the bat and plans to use him as a designated hitter when he isn't pitching.
"He's too valuable as a pitcher to be messing with him, but yet he does have the talent to play," Puhl said. "He can hit. For the best things in his future, somebody needs to see him hit. He's got power that's a little scary."
• UHV went 20-23 last season and lost in the Association of Independent Institutions Tournament, which was at Riverside Stadium meaning the Jaguars had an automatic bid.
• This year's tournament is scheduled for May 2-5 in Lynn, Mass.
• "I've communicated this very clearly to our team that we want to go to Boston for that first round," Puhl said. "In order for us to do it, we have to win ball games from the get-go. I will be going with players who are more ready and who have showed they are more ready."
• Doane College, which is located in Nebraska, had a 32-20 record last season.
• The teams will play a doubleheader Sunday beginning at noon and a single game Monday starting at 11 a.m.

I'm not sure who I should be contacting, but not so long ago I had problems with Windows 7, so I installed Mandriva Linux on my laptop instead, and it is the best OS I've used – even better than XP, which I love.
What I am wondering is, is there a particular magazine all about Mandriva like there is with Ubuntu? I sometimes find it annoying when there is stuff completely irrelevant to the type of Linux OS. I know that all these types are pretty much the same beneath the cover, but they do have their differences. I don't like giving out personal details so I will name myself: Curious

Elise is a first year graduate student pursuing her MPH in Community and Behavioral Health Promotion. In 2011, she graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. While studying as an undergrad, she worked as a therapist with children on the autism spectrum and also had the opportunity to work as a research intern for the Zilber School of Public Health and for the Center for Urban Initiatives and Research. While working as a research intern, she decided that she eventually wanted to continue her graduate studies in Public Health. Elise was greatly impressed by the Zilber School of Public Health and its commitment to social and environmental justice within the city of Milwaukee.
Since receiving her undergraduate degree, Elise has been working in an autism clinic setting up in-home ABA therapy programs for children with ASD. Her work at the clinic has given firsthand exposure to the vast economic and geographic disparities in funding options available to the families served in southeastern Wisconsin. This has further strengthened her desire to pursue an MPH. Elise is hoping to find her niche in the Public Health field and is very excited to be starting her graduate studies at the Zilber School of Public Health.

Ever since the recent launch of the Transformer Prime Android tablet, Asus has been busy with the slate's issues. But that does not stop Asus from adding new devices to their tablet line-up. We already know that the company is set to introduce a budget 7-inch slate later in the second quarter. But now, it appears like there is yet another tablet.
The leaked pictures of what is being called the ASUS TF300T are flying around the web at the moment. According to the Taiwanese website NCCC, the mysterious device could be the followup to the Transformer Prime.
The "TF300T" code name of the 10.1-inch slate is numerically higher when compared to its predecessors. As you might know, the original Transformer is known as the TF101, while the Prime goes by the moniker TF201.
Unfortunately, no details are available regarding the specs of the device. Looking at the pictures, it appears to have a textured back which is similar to that of the original Transformer.
The rear could also be ABS plastic (different from the Prime's which is aluminum), which suggests that the above device could possibly be the first 3G/4G equipped tablet from Asus, although it does have a metallic look to it, so it could be either. Asus may be planning to show this one off at the upcoming Mobile World Congress later this month.
dont believe anything people tell you sometimes its not true
It's funny/odd how they jumped from the TF201 (Prime) to the 700 series, only to go back to 300 series?
101, 201, 700, 300…..Who gives a rats behind? Theres only so much these things are going to do within the next few years. It'll be some time before we start seeing any earth-shattering breakthroughs in technology that we haven't been exposed to in some way, shape or form.. My Transformer Prime is flawless, I love it and I won't be looking to purchase anything else until it becomes seriously obselete.
Would you be happier with lower denominations, like the iPad 3?

First time caching in Wausau and on the first day of summer.... time for grabbing only a few while hubby at Marshfield C. Early rains gave way to 70's ... sun... and a little humidity. I wasn't sure where to park my geomobile... so just landed on side of road but NOT on the grass. Took caching canine KC out of the car for a brief walk in this little park.... nice for the neighborhood. After a couple of minutes at GZ, I spotted the container. That area is very wet so no wonder log is soaked. I removed the old log entirely ( if CO wants it, let me know). I replaced it with a new log sheet in a new small zip bag. Should be good to go now.

An" Atlantic Magazine" Best Book of the Year
A "Publishers Weekly" Best Book of the Year
"The Melrose Novels are a masterwork for the twenty-first century, written by one of the great prose stylists in England." --Alice Sebold, author of "The Lovely Bones"
For more than twenty years, acclaimed author Edward St. Aubyn has chronicled the life of Patrick Melrose, painting an extraordinary portrait of the beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege. This single volume collects the first four novels--"Never Mind," "Bad News," "Some Hope," and "Mother's Milk," a Man Booker finalist--to coincide with the publication of "At Last," the final installment of this unique novel cycle.
By turns harrowing and hilarious, these beautifully written novels dissect the English upper class as we follow Patrick Melrose's story from child abuse to heroin addiction and recovery. "Never Mind," the first novel, unfolds over a day and an evening at the family's chateaux in the south of France, where the sadistic and terrifying figure of David Melrose dominates the lives of his five-year-old son, Patrick, and his rich and unhappy American mother, Eleanor. From abuse to addiction, the second novel, "Bad News" opens as the twenty-two-year-old Patrick sets off to collect his father's ashes from New York, where he will spend a drug-crazed twenty-four hours. And back in England, the third novel, "Some Hope," offers a sober and clean Patrick the possibility of recovery. The fourth novel, the Booker-shortlisted "Mother's Milk," returns to the family chateau, where Patrick, now married and a father himself, struggles with child rearing, adultery, his mother's desire for assisted suicide, and the loss of the family home to a New Age foundation.
Edward St. Aubyn offers a window into a world of utter decadence, amorality, greed, snobbery, and cruelty--welcome to the declining British aristocracy.
This single volume brings together the first four Patrick Melrose novels by Booker Prize Finalist Aubyn. The collection includes "Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope," and "Mother's Milk."

Greetings! The 2014 session will begin on Jan 8 and it's almost time to start keeping an eye on them.
"Responsibility without Accountability"
The membership of the Maryland General Assembly has once again failed to represent the State of Maryland. Now it is time to take them to task. We have allowed the few to dictate the moral direction of the many, while completely disregarding the majority. We have all listened to our politicians tell us one thing on a Monday, only to turn around and stab us in the back on a Thursday. The days of voting the party line just for the sake of it must come to an end. We must take back control of OUR government. It is a responsibility we give to them to govern, we must demand accountability.
This site will keep a close eye on each legislator, their voting record and when they are up for re-election. If your legislator refuses to represent you, they must go!
For your faxing, posting and mailing pleasure, I have created a little flyer.
