Really, point blank is also talking about next year's preseason game? Embarrassing.
An this is going to help the team,, how??? I am sure none of us fans really care about this, our concerns are much deeper.
When other teams talk about playoff push, the islanders talk about preseason .... Sigh

The TV star, whose 12-year-old son RJ was diagnosed with the condition at the age of three, was inspired to embark on the project after hearing how the boy was being bullied at school because other kids had no idea about the developmental disorder.
So she recruited RJ's twin sister Ryan to help reach out to youngsters in My Brother Charlie.
Ryan tells People magazine, "I want people to know what autism is so they don't get a whole weird idea. Kids with autism are exceptional human beings."
Peete's husband, former American footballer Rodney Peete, is also sharing his story with others in his own memoir, Not My Boy!, detailing his struggle to accept his son's diagnosis and how he overcame his denial.
Both books are set to hit stores in April (10).

Hi everyone, Doing some research for a non-internet savvy friend. They have an 1861 Colt Navy, in what appears to be its original presentation box, with the person's name and the year (1871) engraved on the top. It's pretty richly decorated (a scene of ships on the sea is engraved on the barrel). The person's name and "With Compliment of the Colt MFG Co. Dec 1, 1871" is engraved on the handle. We're in contact with Colt to see what, if any, information they may have on the weapon. Does any one here have any idea where I might start to get information on what such a piece would be worth? It's in good shape, might need a little bit of oil attention. The nickel plating is fine, but under the firing hammer has a tiny bit of rust starting to appear. Anyway, thanks for the help. I'm totally new here and know next to nothing about guns, but I thought maybe you might be able to help him (and thereby, me! ) out with a direction to go.

You have already done the first step- Contacting Colt for verification of authenticity. Without intending to, I have made a few folks angry at me here and other forums, by pointing out inconvenient matters- like their original ball and cap revolver would not be marked "Black Powder Only" (when they first made them, there was ONLY black powder) or a "captured Nazi" pistol marked "Made in West Germany" There have been thousands of reproductions, including many "presentation" arms. Colt will be the Gold Standard in determining what is theirs, and what ain't. Your next most important step is in the treatment of the gun. Go find a good golf club (I would suggest a 3 iron) and whack anybody in the head that wants to "clean up" the gun. A drop of oil on a rust spot, wipe with a soft clean cotton cloth- otherwise, leave it alone. What the average person calls "Crud" collectors call "patina". How much is it worth? Whatever it will bring at sale. It is not possible to place a price on a one of a kind item, other than what like items have sold for. Once you get the info from Colt, there are some nationally (and internationally) reognized experts on antique firearms, and Colts. It would be worthwhile to seek their counsel. The NRA may be able to offer some suggestions, as may the Cody Firearms Museum. Have not heard from him in a while, but Jim Supica was well thought of in this field. Or I'll be glad to send you $50 for it if you pay the shipping.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Thanks for the information! Is there anything, picture-wise, we could post to help clear up any problems with the counterfeits / reproductions? It had evidently been in their family for quite a long time, so it doesn't seem like it would be some kind of knock-off, but who knows? I'll post a few of the pictures we snapped of it to send to Colt for them to get a better handle on what we had here, in case anyone is interested or could help in putting a back-story together on it. EDIT: Hmm, sorry, not sure how to shrink those down to just thumbnails rather than giant full size images...
Got an update from Colt today!
Have you heard anything back from Colt yet? This is a Conversion piece, Made to fire Metallic Cartridges rather than Ball & cap. It appears to be in great condition, Don't be surprised if Colt has nothing on it, most of their early records were lost in a fire back in the day. As for a back story, You may start researching the name on the grip back strap. Ha Ha...I should have read your above post closer. TJB
It's beautiful. I suggest the Colt Collectors Association for further information. I believe there's a nominal fee to join, but it will be well worth it. Please keep us informed.
Hi everyone! I should have updated this post sooner, but thanks for the replies. This has been fun to dig into as we have the time. Colt, as you mentioned above, didn't have any records on this particular gun, sadly. They did say that the conversion the gun underwent was most likely factory-done. We've learned enough about the value that it's now in a safe deposit box rather than in a living room cedar chest. One question I've had and not gotten a clear answer on. The gun's serial number is "1". Would the serial numbers have been changed when the conversion was done? That's what one source led me to believe, while others seems to indicate that it would be illegal to have done something like that. I'm just curious if, since it was a presentation gun, was it perhaps the first one off the line and they saved it and others back to give to people in the future (given that this wasn't presented till 1871)? Or did the "engraved" pieces have their own numbering system, or the converted 1861s? Anywho, we're still tossing around the idea of selling it. It really does seem to have a value of whatever anyone would be willing to pay for it, but we're in no rush either. If anyone has any questions, or would like to see a picture of some specific aspect of the gun in a picture, just post here and I'll try to get it taken care of soon!
Have you checked out the Colt Collectors Association yet? Welcome to The Colt Collectors Association official web site
Yup, on your recommendation I just went over and signed up on their forums. I'll have to take a look in the next couple of days to see if joining the association would be worth our while or not! Thanks for the pointing in the right direction!
I hope it helps, that's a special revolver.

Okay, we all now know what the Harlem Shake is. We've done "The Bernie," kicked it "Gangnam Style" and have planked on as many bizarre surfaces we could think of. In fact, the word "Planking" can even be found on Wikipedia, and is defined as "an activity consisting of lying face down – sometimes in an unusual or incongruous location." But now, a newly viral YouTube musical creation is – as if you even had to guess – shaking things up quite a bit.
TechZone360 reported a couple of weeks back that the "Harlem Shake," a YoutTube-influenced phenomenon sparked by producer Baauer, debuted at No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and Streaming Songs charts, as well as jumped from number 12 to 1 on Dance/Electronic Songs with over 100 million views. Essentially, the concept – a video no longer than 30-seconds – includes one person dancing for the first half alone in a group of blissfully unaware people, who suddenly join the solo dancer during the concluding half with unidentifiable yet extremely energetic moves.
Check out the video below to listen to the song in full that inspired the dance:
What many may not have realized is that while watching these brief Harlem Shake takes are pretty funny and for the most part entertaining, this phenomenon is seriously enticing businesses to stay with the fads to increase customer loyalty and satisfaction. A business' first priority is to make the customer happy, and sometimes, that is achieved simply by showing that they are relatable to the majority of their customers' interests. Now what better way to do that then through social media?
Even right now as I type in YoutTube.com, the featured video immediately shown on the company's homepage is a rendition of the Harlem Shake by the Miami HEAT.
Thankfully, AllFacebook has released an official infographic that breaks it down for us to show which social media managers shook things up the most – and who rose to the occasion to beat out the rest with the most "likes," "shares," and views.
Reportedly, over 30 reputable brands have uploaded their unique version of the Harlem Shake to YouTube, but the infographic only highlights a handful of companies who successfully managed to catch the public's eye.
Let's start with Topshop, a British-founded retailer with 440 shops worldwide that specializes in women's fashion and accessories. The best thing about Topshop is that the company has already established a pretty solid following, as it does an excellent job of appealing to both the mass public and higher clientele. How high? This week, Kate Middleton was seen shopping for maternity wear at a London-based store; however, I feel more welcome than ever when I get the chance to drop in and shop when I'm in NYC.
The company released the video below two weeks ago consisting of supermodels Cara Delevingne, Rosie Tapner and Jourdan Dunn backstage at the Topshop Unique AW13 Show doing the Harlem Shake. The video quickly accumulated 1,249,166 views as of today, coming in at number five of the top six listed by AllFacebook.
The runner up in AllFacebook's line-up – having accumulated 4,621,774 views as of today and what the infographic calls "the Harlem Shake to end all Harlem Shakes" – is Red Bull. The company did an impressive sky diving version of the fad, which I have to say, is pretty awesome. The company explains underneath he video, "It seems that everyone is making Harlem Shake videos, and to be honest it's about time to close this chapter of the Internet. That's why we decided to go out in style."
After watching that, it seems almost impossible that Pepsi beat Redbull out for the No. 1 spot among the top 30 brands to do the Shake, but that's exactly what the company did with the help of Jeff Gordon and his crew. The video even has a racecar with Pepsi's logo on the hood magically appear, which helped the video gain an astounding 5,530,095 views as of today. See the video for yourself below:
Among the lower ranking companies in the YouTube race to shake were Nintendo, which got about 258,000 views, HootSuite, which got about 100,000 and Intel, which received about 87,000.
Pepsi, Red Bull and Topshop are all in the running in The Shorty Industry Awards, the most prestigious awards in social media that recognizes company's innovative campaigns. This just goes to show how incredibly pervasive social media is and will continue to be, as well as how huge of a force it can be when combined with pop culture to create and strengthen brand awareness.
Which company do you think should win, and which is your favorite among the many?

Yo iPhone app hacked
Yo, the pointless app that lets you message the word "Yo" to your contacts (and nothing else) has been hacked by a college student and his two roommates. The trio has been able to acquire any Yo user's phone number and spam them with multiple messages, though they opted not to abuse the latter discovery. Yo has confirmed the hack and promised a fix.
Meanwhile, a Vine video has appeared showing the app playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" instead of its typical notification sound, and a post on Instagram supposedly shows an unauthorized message being pushed through the service.
So it turns out an app that was built in eight hours and has access to personal information can be hacked. At least it's free.

It's taken a while to get started on the project to make my daily driver Saturn SL1 into a better handling car. I had the parts but it took a few weeks to be able to get the work scheduled at a shop that was willing to install my own components. Now that the work has been done and I've been able to drive the car in varying conditions, it's time for a progress report. The short version is that I'm pleased with the results. For the long version, continue reading after the break. (Read More…)

The prevailing narrative seems to be that the United States lags behind Europe in addressing issues like fuel economy and emissions. U.S. regulatory standards are seen as not as rigorous as those used in the European Union. Cars sold in the European market get better gas/diesel mileage and put out less supposedly harmful carbon dioxide and other products of combustion. Now, the Economist is reporting that an environmental group is claiming that the Euro standards are a bit of a sham because the system in Europe allows automakers to game the testing procedures, resulting in poorer real-world performance than that indicated by testing.
In the late 1950s, when Chrysler executives asked Virgil Exner Sr to show them what could be done with a highly personalized future car for the popularly priced Plymouth brand, the Chrysler design chief took them at their word and came up with something so personal that he named it XNR, after himself. One of a series of Chrysler Corp show cars built by Ghia in Italy, the XNR was based on the compact Valiant chassis. Unlike many of the other Exner-Ghia concepts that featured Mopar's marquee motor, the Hemi, the XNR is powered by a souped up version of what would in time become venerable but what was then a new engine, the Slant Six. With its asymmetrical and quirky styling, the little speedster is quite an interesting car, but its provenance, which includes being both Exner's and the Shah of Iran's personal vehicles and surviving a Mideast civil war, is even more interesting.

Would you miss a parade of 50 Ford Pintos (well, 47 at least)? The cute little subcompact, oft demeaned as a fiery death trap due to lawsuits and controversy over how and where it mounted the fuel tank, does have its enthusiasts and for the past three years they've gathered for the Pinto Stampede, a car meet and fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. This year the Stampede was held in Dearborn, Michigan and the proud Pinto pilots (alliteration is my friend) were reserved a special place of honor at the Ford Product Development Center employees' annual car show on the lawn in front of the PDC.

By 1957, not only had Ford and Chevy brought modern styling to their traditional pickup truck lines but Ford had also introduced the Ranchero car based pickup and Chevy featured the Cameo Carrier, a conventional pickup that sported many automobile styling trends. Dodge's trucks, in comparison, were starting to look a bit dowdy. The solution was to create the Sweptside pickup, with tailfins that emulated Chrysler design chief Virgil Exner Sr's "Forward Look", which fully flowered in the '57 model year. One could be forgiven for assuming that the Sweptside Dodge and the nearly identical Fargo trucks sold in Canada were the product of Exner's design studio. That wasn't the case. Supposedly "Ex" wasn't even interested in restyling the trucks. In fact the Sweptside pickups had nothing to do with Chrysler's design team. They were the result of a parts-bin project of Joe Berr, the head of Dodge's Special Equipment Group. (Read More…)
In an interview held at Cadillac's new business headquarters in New York City's trendy SoHo district with Fortune, Melody Lee, 'director of brand and reputation strategy' for General Motors' luxury brand, had some interesting things to say about the move to NYC, about the brand, and about herself. Other than to say that it's just quite possible that outstanding product is a little bit more important to a company's success than Ms. Lee seems to think, I'm not going to comment on her remarks because I think they speak for themselves and, frankly, I think they don't bode well for the brand. You can read them and offer your own commentary after the jump. The engineers and designers at GM have given Cadillac the best products that it has had in decades, but automotive history has many examples of fine vehicles that were crippled in the marketplace by the very people trying to market them.

Our friends over at Jalopnik ran a post on cars so important to you that you'd make a pilgrimage to see them. I really can't quibble with the ten *cars that made their final cut, mostly because I've seen and photographed three of them myself, a Chrysler Turbine Car, the Gulf Oil liveried Ford GT40 that twice won at LeMans, and a Bugatti Royale. Now fortunately for me, my pilgrimage to see those cars didn't involve crossing an ocean or getting on an airplane. It was more like getting on the Southfield freeway and driving 20 minutes to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearbon, Michigan. The museum is surely pilgrimage-worthy as it owns one of the eight extant Chrysler Turbines, one of the six Bugatti Royales that were made, and for a while the 1968-69 LeMans winner was in the museum's Racing In America exhibit while the 1967 LeMans winning Ford Mk IV was being repaired. We recently looked at the Mk IV and not long ago featured the Gulf colored GT40, plus the Chrysler Turbine cars are pretty well known, so this is a good opportunity to talk about the Bugatti Royale.

My daughter Tova usually rides to her job with a co-worker. She'd noticed the car they were using had been getting louder and already had mentioned to her friend that something might be amiss with the exhaust system. On the way to work today, it started to get even louder, and then there was a grinding noise. Tova suggested they stop and check things out, but the driver said it was "only a couple of miles" to the school where they teach, so they continued. Tova said that there was a banging noise and then most of the grinding seem to have stopped. Other drivers were honking and pointing. (Read More…)
A while back we ran a post on the Gulf Oil liveried 1968 & 1969 LeMans winning Ford GT40 that was temporarily on loan for display at the Racing in America exhibit of The Henry Ford Museum's Driving America section. The reason for that loan was that the car that normally occupies that corner of the exhibit, the Ford Mk IV that won LeMans in 1967, was at Dan Gurney's All American Racers shop in California getting a sensitive repair and conservation. That job has now been completed and the Mk IV is now back on display at the Dearborn, Michigan museum, just in time to be rejoined by Mr. Gurney. (Read More…)
The Texas DMV has refused to register the new Polaris Slingshot, saying that motorcycles must be ridden from in a saddle, not driven from on a seat. The Slingshot and proposed Elio trike are both being marketed as motorcycles, as three-wheelers do not have to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for automobiles. Elio has told TTAC that they're exempt from the Texas standard because their vehicle has an enclosed cab. We asked them if they've had discussions with the Texas DMV about their status. Elio's vice president for governmental affairs, Joel Sheltrown, told me in an email,
Yes.. I confirmed this with TX DMV. Also the helmet and m[otorcycle] license exemption. We qualify in every instance to be registered in TX ..as a motorcycle. We will easily meet their requirements.

The Hipster TV Tray
TV trays are back, but I think it's obvious that the demographic these cool enablers are being aimed at was still in diapers at the time trays reigned supreme (so I'm old). I gotta ask: why do we need to make food convenient? Where are all the starving Americans?

German actor Klaus Kinski 'abused his daughter Pola'
The elder daughter of the late German film star Klaus Kinski, Pola, has accused her father of sexually abusing her between the ages of five and 19.
She told a German magazine she had broken her silence because of the continuing adulation Kinski enjoyed, more than 20 years after his death.
Kinski starred in some of the most famous German films of the 1970s and early 1980s, directed by Werner Herzog.
His numerous sexual liaisons with adults were well documented.
"Start Quote
End Quote Pola Kinski Daughter of the late Klaus KinskiHe once told me that it was completely natural, that fathers all over the world did that with their daughters"
He made a name for himself in spaghetti westerns such as For a Few Dollars More before starring in Herzog films including Aguirre The Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) and Fitzcarraldo (1982).
Herzog was not prepared to comment on the revelations, the director's brother Lucki Stipetic told BBC News.
A biographer of the actor, Christian David, said there had been rumours about the relationship between Kinski and Pola for years.
"In Europe, especially in Germany of course, Klaus Kinski has a solid fan base and is considered an idol by quite a few," he told BBC News.
"We will see how this may change in the coming weeks or months."
'Little sex object'Pola Kinski, herself an actress, spoke to Stern ahead of the release of her autobiography, Kindermund (English: The Mouths Of Babes).
"The terrible thing is that he once told me that it was completely natural, that fathers all over the world did that with their daughters," she said in the interview, published on Thursday.
"He was paying for me to be his little sex object, placed on silk cushions."
She had kept quiet about the abuse for years, she said, because her father had forbidden her to talk about it.
Now 60, she said she had got to the point where she could no longer stomach the accolades heaped on her "genius" father.
She also wanted, through her book, to help "others who have lived through something similar".
Germany's top-selling tabloid Bild commended Ms Kinski as a "heroine" for having had the courage to talk about "what probably thousands of daughters do not dare to say".
'Heinous crime'Before the revelations in Stern, Kinski, who died in 1991 in California aged 65, was best-known for his intense acting style and tempestuous character off-screen.
"Start Quote
End Quote Christian David Kinski biographerAll accusations should be investigated, absolutely nobody should be immune, including legendary movie stars"
While some Germans went on social media to voice contempt for the dead actor, there were also fans who found the image conjured up by his daughter hard to believe.
But Christian David, whose biography of Kinski was published in 2006, defended the daughter's decision to speak out now.
"Unfortunately, until recently she wasn't ready to publicly speak about it - thus, I wasn't able to mention any of it in my book," he said.
"But Pola was totally entitled to choose the right day to come out on this. We have absolutely no right to blame her for this, and no right to immediately mistrust her or to suspect she would do this just to sell her book.
"Child abuse is a heinous crime, there is no room for forgiveness, and I support a zero tolerance policy.
"All accusations should be investigated, absolutely nobody should be immune, including legendary movie stars."
There was no immediate comment on Pola's book from her half-siblings, Nastassja and Nikolai, when their representatives were contacted by Reuters news agency.

Corsair CM2X1024-6400PRO & CM2X512A-5400UL -
Page 8
The Verdict
Are those results noteworthy or what? So yeah, here at Guru3D.com we like to do things a little different and today we definitely did. We can only spend a certain amount of time with the gear yet there are a million ways to overclock and tweak a system. But what it all boils down to are two things, price versus performance. What I tried to proof today is what difference the memory frequency can make for pure system performance. So in pretty much all the tests we were able, the CPU clock remained at 3600 MHz while we fooled around with the DDR2 frequency with the help of memory dividers at BIOS level. In all circumstances we left the timings as recommended on the package, yet we did boost memory voltage to 1.9 Volts.
The second tweak we fired off on the system was an FSB overclock combined with a Northbridge strap and memory devider, a complex little one. We increased voltage on the CPU core and memory and then took it up to 4 GHz on a stable ~285 MHz (1140 MHz) FSB. Mind you that we normally would have a 800 MHz system bus. We did this to prove another point. If you want an extensive overclock then you better have some really good memory in there. The advantage of a total system overclock is a very perceptible performance increase, as our results showed. It's like getting 10% extra performance on the house.
Now of course you can tweak a whole lot more then what we did. You could choose to go for a slightly lower frequency and/or lower latency timings a little. You can also seek the maximum CPU (FSB) overclock in which often you have to take for granted that you have slightly higher times. Or in our case you can balance out stuff to see what effect the DDR2 frequency has on performance and based on that find the highest timings. So that's the secret that memory like Corsair's offers, flexibility. Do what you want to do as these two memory kits certainly will not stop you.
No matter what you do or choose, the best solution for DDR2 is to find the highest possible frequency with the lowest timings available. Now the higher that frequency and the lower these timings the more expensive that memory will be. Today's tested sets of memory by all means are not cheap. It however is made for the enthusiast buyer. And after seeing these results, oh yeah I am surely enthusiastic about it. The results we showed today was in 100% stable conditions. I really didn't want to push any harder for two reasons: I'm pretty protective over my test systems and refuse to damage them in any way. And that's something you need to keep in mind also. Overclocking can seriously damage your system if you are not doing it right and most of all without proper care.
We raised the bar really high though. Secondly, I know that the system simply can't take more than a 287 MHz FSB, so we had to settle.
So my recommendations would go like this. Both sets of memory definitely are targeted at the high-end user. The people that overclock their memory/cpu/fsb, whatever the need for performance is, this is your kind of memory.
The XMS2-5400 series is designed to go up-to 667 MHz at its suggested ratings and will do that really well, For DDR2 type memory these are fast timings people, very fast as our benchmarks revealed. Any decent overclock will fall just fine within that maximum frequency. So for the high-end user these two bars of memory are really something else as they will smoke your system! And even if you are not an overclocker then this memory still is very much recommended, it will assure you of high memory bandwidth with low DDR2 timings. The Corsair XMS2 5400UL modules are designed to be run at the DDR2-667 memory BIOS settings and in overclocked systems. They carry a full lifetime warranty (as long as you use them within warranty guidelines, which pretty much boils down to a maximum usage of 2.1 Volts) on the module; that's a lot of value. It's cheapest price is 279 USD at the time this article was written.
Go get them, highly recommended as performance is stellar and this simply is the best memory I've had in any of my DDR2 test rigs to date.
Then there is the 2GB XMS2-6400 Pro kit, two bars of 1 GB in dual channel. Wowzers... that's some pretty cool stuff to have in your gaming rig eh? You'll have plenty memory for the next year or two. Now since it can go so high on frequency it has slightly lower timings (at default SPD 4:4:4:12 timings) compared to the 5400 kit we just tested. So that's a choice you are going to have to make. If you kept your system on a small overclock, well the difference is really minimal but purely for performance the 5400 series is a teeny weeny bit better. But hey on the other side, this is 2 GB of memory people. And let us not forget the uber-tweakers kind of people among us; we call them Guru's that vapochill and cool everything down below zero and then start to overclock to the extreme. This is the memory for that kind of people. We didn't attempt such an extensive overclock, but hey this memory will definitely take you where you need to go!
So personally I'd favor the 2 GB kit but yeah you need to cough up roughly 400 USD for it and that is a lot of money. However, the trend over the past few years clearly has been showing an increase of the FSB and memory consumption, so you are future proof, future games will love it, you get a lot of memory to spare, it can overclock well and you have intense memory bandwidth. How on this earth can you go possibly wrong with that?
So generally both kits of memory impressed very much, you need to decide which kit is better for you though. Both kits deserve our editor's choce award.
Corsair demonstrated their point extremely well, what out of this world memory they make !

The French Politician's Prerogative
If democracy is a level playing field, then the belief that you deserve more than one partner is undemocratic, a throwback to less democratic times and places. I'm not referring here to promiscuousness amongst the single, or indeed consensual promiscuousness between the paired. These alternatives to monogamy come with their own problems of course - as does monogamy - but you can't call them undemocratic. Unwise perhaps, but not unfair.
Similarly I'm not talking about falling out of love with one partner and into love with another. At a stretch, I'm not even talking about those who strive to be loyal to one partner but just can't keep their trousers on when alternatives arise. For all the hurt, at least these transgressions allow for regret: "I'm so sorry it didn't work out" in the former, and the snivelling "please take me back and I promise it will never happen again" in the latter.
No, what I'm talking about is when one partner thinks that they have the right to more than one partner, without extending reciprocal rights to their partner. Such arrogance is not exclusively French, nor the preserve of politicians, but if we refer to it as the French Politician's Prerogative I think we capture the spirit of this mind-set, and cultural fossil.
Although this is not an exclusively male form of selfishness, tolerance of such behaviour is strictly for the boys. While some women, particularly powerful women, might exercise the same dubious 'right', social acceptance is reserved for men. There is no male equivalent to the 'mistress' to refer to the kept man, presumably because the role is too rare and too perverse to merit a name. The 'inevitable appetite' of men would be 'sluttishness' in women. In polite society male infidelity is only to be expected, female infidelity is whorish effrontery.
The belief that you deserve more than one faithful partner necessarily implies a sense of superiority. Even those who try to excuse their behaviour as 'natural', a product of evolution, must be doing-so from the perspective of being a winner in this great game of life. Given a 50/50 sex ratio it is not arithmetically possible for all men to have multiple faithful partners. Presumably some lesser men must make do with one, and others with none at all. The grounds for such feelings of superiority and entitlement are varied but obvious. It might be sexual prowess, good looks, charisma, fame, social status, class status, artistic ability, academic ability, political power, or just money. Whichever, the bearer is led to the belief that he has so much to offer it would be unfair not to spread it around a bit. The naked ape morphs himself into 'the big man', the emperor, the alpha-male lion slouching across the savannah, calmly selecting targets amongst the females; the sheikh reclining in his Bedouin tent, too grand to be contained or satisfied by just one woman.
Obviously these self-perceptions may have little to do with the actual reason an 'additional' woman shows interest. Neither François Hollande or Silvio Berlusconi have much of the top predator about them. Alan Clark's appearance was more sultana than Sultan. As in any human relationship, the things people are fancied-for can differ widely from the things they might fancy about themselves. He might tell himself it's his intellect when in fact it's just his hairy chest - or vice versa. Such mismatches of perception can be innocent, even endearing. After all, body and mind are both intrinsic features of a person - who is to decide which is the more worthy basis of attraction? Things become more dubious however when what attracts is something removed from the mind or body of the person. Rather than his square jaw and political acumen, the real attraction may be access to certain social circles, or job opportunities, or immigration papers, or simply money.
Money is obviously a big player and the one that detractors will be keen to seize upon, but it would be untrue and unfair to suggest that it is always the case. It's understandable and forgivable when the betrayed wife describes the other woman as a prostitute, but it can be quite the other way round. A truly besotted mistress is surely less of a prostitute than a wife who secretly despises her husband but stays with him for his wealth. At core, prostitution is selling your body, enduring sex for material benefits. The legal status of wife/mistress can be of no consequence. Sex between two people who burn with physical desire for each other is not prostitution at all, whatever the financial backdrop. Equally clearly, sex paid for cash-in-hand and performed with gritted teeth definitely is prostitution. Between these two extremes there are a wide range of alternative reasons people join each other in bed. Some are completely untarnished by economics. Others are tainted to some degree - spectrum whoretism, we might call it.
It seems uncontroversial to assume that many high-society 'affairs' reside somewhere on this spectrum. The very concept of the 'kept woman' implies an economic imbalance. It requires a certain level of income to 'install' a mistress in a little apartment off Rue Cliché in the 6th arrondissement. The telling counterfactual would be whether the sex would still be taking place without the material benefits. It may be pure co-incidence of course, but the incidence of wizened men seducing teenage beauties does appear to rise and fall in tandem with the gentleman's income.
We should note however that desirability is not the only economic factor at work in perpetuating mistress culture. Just as prostitution commodifies a woman's body, women can also be viewed as negative assets - liabilities. This view will be familiar to readers of Jane Austen. Women are born into these fictions as millstones. However smart, beautiful or compassionate they might be, at core they remain a problem, an issue that needs to be resolved. Fathers pace hallways, mothers sit and wring their hands - what to do with this creature when it blossoms? Crippling dowries are raised in the hope of bribing potential suitors into relieving them of this burden.
If prostitution transforms a woman's body into saleable furniture, a dowry is more like a fee for house clearance. Honestly, you can't give this stuff away. And of course the daughters play along with it all, frittering their youth away wittering about husbands, dresses, grand balls, eligible soldiers and the horrors of spinsterhood. It's quite a bind. Daughters are infantilised to the extent that they can never become economically independent, and then resented as an economic liability. This remains a fair description of the status and treatment of women in some parts of the world today. But even in supposedly liberal and enlightened societies something similar is still lurking in the background. A rich man can still picture himself as the saviour of a poor woman, shouldering the economic burden of womanhood. These are the 'saved' women of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Pretty Woman. As a mark of their philanthropic largesse, some of these big-hearted fellows save several women at the same time.
Some will shrug and dismiss all this as 'natural' - the male inclination to pay for sex is as old as human history. But note that male inclination is only half of the deal. How many 'kept' women would be prepared to accept that role if their income already matched that of their lord and master? The supply of street prostitutes, porn workers, and fragrant mistresses to atrophying politicians and business tycoons is only as large as the gap in income between men and women. While some men might well be inclined to pay for sex, a more democratic society would be one where the economic position of women was such that fewer women would feel inclined or compelled to meet market demand.
Asset or liability, the commodification of women necessarily positions men as the owners of women. Daughters are the property of fathers, wives the property of husbands. Consequently, much as he deserves a big house and scores of servants, a 'big man' deserves more female properties. He should be free to collect women as he might collect cars - a practical model for daily use and some hot ones to take for a spin at the weekend. This object-owner relationship underlines the other sense of superiority at play in mistress culture. As well as one man's superiority over another, it also suggests gender superiority. Men own women because men are superior to women. Men have dominion over their wives and mistresses for much the same reason as the dairyman has dominion over his cattle. Men are the movers and shakers in this world. Women at best are support staff, nurses to the doctors - essential but auxiliary.
Unpleasant as it is, this is the base assumption that supports all the rest of the mistress nonsense. The glib claim that it is quite normal for French men to have mistresses has an unavoidable flipside: It is quite normal for French women to accept their role as subordinates. I'm sure this can't be true across the board, but it is amply alluded-to in literature old and new, celebrated in fact. It's the worldview parodied by Nancy Mitford in her novels (at least I hope it is parody.) The 'good wife' accepts her husband's infidelities, forgives his transgressions, whatever pain and discord they might cause. It would be improper, meddlesome, to question him over such trifles. Access to this high quality being comes at a price - the price is that you have to tolerate sharing him. He is the big man, the weight of the world on his shoulders, and his family must respect his needs. It would be cruel, against nature, to cage the lion, etc etc.
As is often the case with oppressive relationships the oppressed play their part in maintaining the injustice. Mitford again:
"'well then, perhaps you can tell us' said Madame Rocher 'how, in a country where there are no brothels, do the young men ever learn?'"
Whatever lessons young men might learn, we can see that the brothel worker's development is of no consequence. Women are a means rather than an end; a stone to be stepped-on, or over, by life's protagonist, on his ascent to adulthood.
For all the short-term thrills, it's hard to see any real winners in this game. The covert philanderer lives in constant fear of being caught; his partner lives in ignorance and impending heartbreak. The brazen philanderer has all the home comfort of a partner stricken with perpetual mistrust, anxiety and worthlessness, or she simply hates him. And of course it's not just adults that suffer. Indeed whenever 'nature' is invoked to justify such behaviour it is worth considering the reflex responses of small children on this subject: 'Would you prefer it that your parents only love each other, and only sleep with each other? Or would you rather they also sleep with other people, and perhaps raise other children in other homes?' Is their response not as natural, as instinctive, as any adult urge?
I add the qualifier 'small' children because their answers may change as they move into adulthood, in no small part dependent on the example set by their parents. And so the seeds are sown. Boys grow into men who see fidelity as wimpish, a sign of unmanliness. Girls grow into women who assume that men are not to be trusted, and so either develop the capacity to stand by them in a state of anxiety, or just loath them and avoid them completely. And so the whole mess rumbles on.

The Unit compiles and distributes lists of missing children from reports submitted by local law enforcement agencies. The reports are released to school districts and to any other entity or person the Unit determines may be instrumental in the identification and recovery of missing children.
Consistent with statute, the Unit maintains and distributes statistics on missing children which include:
The Unit reviews each missing child report to the Colorado Crime Information Center (CCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for validity, completeness and accuracy and insures the originating agency makes any necessary corrections or additions.
When a child has been missing for thirty days, the Unit must attempt to obtain the child's dental records and attach them to the NCIC missing person report.
The Unit sends lists of children missing from Colorado to each Colorado school district for comparison with their enrollment records to identify missing children in their schools. If a district chooses, it may submit enrollment lists to the Unit for comparison with NCIC records to locate children missing from all states. When a match is verified, the Unit notifies the appropriate authorities to facilitate the return of the missing child.
