When Janet Jackson reportedly changed plans on a Make-A-Wish child named Lemika, Pac stepped in to save the day. The rapper flew Lemika and her family out to Los Angeles and showered them with attention, inviting him to the set of Gridlock'd and even throwing a party for them at his home (where they also met Snoop Dogg). Not a bad consolation prize!

Top that, motherfuckers!
[Inside joke…but still…]
P.S…. it's my birthday… I'm now 53
And my dog is still ugly.
The good folks at The Atlantic recently typed this article about a study from Helen Fisher that was funded by Match.com. (Trigger warning: advocacy research). There is no mention of how the data was collected, there is only mention of the 5,600 that were surveyed. Is that the number of responses or the number of people who decided to respond to the survey.
Problem #1 – The study was funded by Match.com, part of a huge online dating conglomerate. It's in Match.com's vested financial interest to have data that encourages singles to sign up for new accounts or keep renewing their existing accounts.
Problem #2 – The people who respond to such surveys cannot be counted as a "norm". People who decide to respond are of a certain personality type. Can we trust that the respondees be representational of the population of singles at large?
Problem #3 – There is no breakdown of age and location in the results presented. Are these boomers, Gen X or Y?, Millenials? The devil is in the details.
Fisher's findings offer a solution to a classic problem in economic mating theory: Are men afraid of over-educated women?
Fisher offers a resounding "no" to that question, using pop culture as validation. In what she amusingly calls the Clooney Effect, Fisher describes the phenomenon of men wanting to marry women who were independent and self-reliant in relationships. "When even a lifelong bachelor like George Clooney settles down, you know things are changing," writes Fisher of her tongue-in-cheek term, which recalls the actor's marriage to Amal Alamuddin, an accomplished human-rights barrister.
Never use pop culture as an example. George Clooney is hardly representational of middle aged single guys. #Eyeroll. Clooney is a one-off. How about the millions of ordinary guys? The comparison to Clooney makes me believe that the study's results are for a female audience hoping that a Clooney-type man will message them on Match.com and he'll be her soulmate and rescue her from all her problems.
That women can be better educated than men in a relationship flies in the face of a demographic debate on marital sorting instigated by the late economist Gary Becker. In a chapter he wrote for a volume on family economics, Becker argued that men and women are more likely to be in relationships with their physical and intellectual peers, at least in theory. He believed that it's economically advantageous for us to find our intellectual equal: The benefits are a long, healthy, satisfying partnership; the cost is a partnership that falls apart, separation, maybe divorce.
But this theory wasn't exactly palatable to some critics, who found reality to differ from Becker's ivy tower surmising. One such critic, William Goode, wrote in a postscript to Becker's chapter,
… For a man with little education, a wife with very much education is not worth as much as one would suppose from her money value on the larger market. She is a less-fit wife for him … and he would be supported in this low evaluation by his social circle.
Becker's theory of equality of spouses was perhaps ahead of its time. "Over-educated" females were often doomed for spinsterhood, as men were frightened and/or turned off by an intellectually superior woman. Women of previous generations had to choose between a husband or further education, and, until the Baby Boomers came of age and reversed the male dominance in higher education, societal expectations often made marriage the only palatable choice for females. Women, in other words, could not have it all.
Um, no one can "have it all". That fairy tale keeps being repeated, especially when it relates to online dating. That fairy tale is nothing more than emotional pornography.
Men are not "frightened" by educated women. Men will boink 'em but are simply hesitant to commit to them. Women will not want to commit to them because of hypergamy.
Frankly, that survey is about the economics of dating, not the reality of attraction.
Fisher's statistics are indicative of a social countercurrent, one that radically changes the gendered roles in traditional marriages and creates an altered image of what modern marriage is held to be. Women who are empowered, independent, and smart expect the same from their partner: 89 percent want a partner who is independent, 86 percent want a partner who is at least as intelligent as they are, 55 percent aren't willing to support their partner financially, and 61 percent claim not being as intelligent as them is an automatic deal killer, according to the Match.com findings.
"When even a lifelong bachelor like George Clooney settles down, you know things are changing."
What's fascinating is the men's responses to these questions gives credence to Becker's theory, and then some: 87 percent of men would date a woman who makes more money, 90 percent like it when the woman makes the first move and asks them out, 87 percent would date a woman perceived more intelligent than them, 86 percent are turned on by a "confident" woman.
86% of men claim to want a confident woman because so many women claim to be confident. Men are not stupid. They market themselves to be more attractive to women. It's a vicious circle and no one gets what they want in the attraction and dating game.
Why is it that men are more willing to have a smarter woman by their side and woman won't settle for someone less than intellectually ideal? In short, women can demand more, and know it. The apocalyptic threats by old-school mothers of shortages of men as women crept towards their 30s have become less threatening. Men don't desire damsels in distress, and women don't want breadwinners. Modern marriage is a partnership, and both men and women expect their partners to be their equal intellectually and personally.
Actually, women do want bread-winners, they are just afraid to say it because of current social expectations and they don't want to be perceived as gold-diggers. But I read the online dating profiles. So many women want a financially secure guy. They state it flat-out in their profiles. They also state that they are financially independent in the same profile! Cognitive dissonance much? Go ahead guys, lose a job. Watch how quickly a woman pulls back. Women demand security. This is why they insist on a taller guy. This is hypergamy. This is biology. This is how it works.
That's not to say that Fisher's Clooney Effect is flawless. Any psychologist will state that appearance is still the number one factor in bringing two people together, and that it takes more than a singular trait (in this case, intelligence) to create a strong, long-lasting bond.
Well, that's right, to a point. Clooney is a good-looking and incredibly successful guy in the public spotlight. Good for him. His new bride is a good-looking and successful dame in her own right. But he's higher up the social food chain. Again, this is hypergamy. This is all women. The one you are dating is not a special snowflake. All women are like this. Every. Single. One. Once a guy with better prospects than you shows up, she's gone and you're done. Charisma works for a bit, to be sure, but if you can't provide that security she demands then you're useless to her.
Nevertheless, Fisher's is a revolutionary view of marriage, one that for millennia has focused its attention on women as the objectified party with little to offer beyond children and caring for a household. Men, according to this study, want their wives—partners, really—to be able to take on the world, live their lives, and have an identity that doesn't necessarily mean adopting their last name.
This is a study funded by an online dating company. In order to make money, the study's results has to encourage those monthly subscription fees. Here's the real secret – women want a successful, confident man. So, through the awesome power of psychological projection – they assume that men want the same in women. "I'm a strong and independent woman" reads the countless profiles. Men, not being stupid, write that they desire a strong and independent woman. Hey, that's what all the dames are claiming. Consider this, the study indicates that 55% of women wont support a man, or so they claim. Damn, it's not always easy to separate words from actions, but it's possible.
After all, as the Clooney Effect's name suggests, it's George who gained from marrying the beautiful, smart, independent Amal. As a commentator noted on Time after the couple made their first post-marriage appearance at this year's Golden Globes, "We always thought that she was the woman who finally snared George Clooney, but it's the other way around. And we're all better off for it."
No, she gained. She married the most elusive bachelor on the planet. She married the man who no woman could lock down. Granted, he's a fucking idiot of doing so but it's her value that increased. She now has the ultimate bragging rights. And bragging rights are a huge part of what women want… every… single… woman.
TL, DR – In online dating profiles, men state that they want strong and financially independent women. That's because women state that they are strong and independent. In the economics of attraction and dating, this is the current landscape.
This is a new parlor game and it's not uncommon. As a parlor game, it serves to increase sociability amongst friends. The definition here sums it up nicely. I have never heard of straight guys playing this game but I'm sure it happens. The game illustrates quite nicely how the sexual market place (SMP) works and a person's sexual market value (SMV). It's a great insight into both how the feminine and masculine mentality works regarding the SMP and SMV. I am solely focusing on how women perceive and act regarding men in this context.
Here's a video that shows a couple of chippies actually playing the game. The girls in the video is highly annoying so click on it knowing that tequila will be required afterward. Why is that young women are so annoying? Yeah, I'm old. Get off my lawn.
Here's how it applies to how attraction works between men and women. The game is straightforward. Three names of the same sex are offered up. The person responding must assign a category of Fuck, Marry, or Kill. The Fuck category is fairly clear. It's all about the sex. The Marry category gets a bit more opaque because a woman's relationship goals are not fixed. A woman at 30 years old is looking at a man for more than just weekend of squishy passion. She's thinking about father material. However, a woman at 45 and who has raised her kids may be looking back at the passionate weekend and consider the Fuck category more carefully. Hence, the "cougar" phenomenon. But a woman in her 50s might be considering the issues of financial and health security so is more concerned with the Marriage category.
As for the Kill category, these are the guys who have no chance at the other categories and so women would rather see them dead. Or, working invisibly to keep our culture running so that physical discomfort is avoided. Those would be your landscapers, sewer workers, miners, etc. These are also the guys with emotional of physical disabilities that render them totally unwanted by women. Short guys have this problem in spades. It works both ways. There are women in this category, as well. Seriously overweight women deal with this. But those women can lose weight. Short guys can't grow.
In the graphic below (with fun captions!), I've summarized the FMK game and how it relates to the SMP. Note that are only 10% of men in the Fuck category. These are the green light guys. With looks, confidence, and charisma, they can plough (hehe) ahead with sexual conquests. The biggest category is in yellow, the Marry category at 70%. These are most guys. They tend to be safe, not particularly charismatic or affluent. They have child support to deal with, an insecure job to sweat over, and all the other stresses to deal with regarding ordinary life.
Given that attraction and dating is so challenging for so many after a certain age. There are things that both sexes can do to make it all a bit easier (this is aimed at the middle age crowd, you youngsters can go drink a Red Bull or something):
For men: Confidence, competence, charisma, and leadership. I know it sounds facile to just put this out there but these skills can be learned. To be put in the (Fuck) green category requires some seriously self-improvement. Physical and sartorial self-improvement is relatively straightforward. It's the confidence and charisma that requires the most work. The purpose of such improvement is to move as close to the green category as possible. Bonus, this will also with life in general, including career. For the guys struggling with social skills, there's a website for that.
For women: It's much more easy. If a woman wants a man in the Fuck category, she has to be physically attractive… that's it. That means appearing feminine and not being bossy and domineering. Flirty and pleasant women who are willing to dress the part can aspire to the green category. But there is one huge problem, the green category guys have options. They date younger women. Why? Because they can! No amount of shame or social expectation will change that. These are guys who do what they want with whom they want. The solution to that is to look more seriously at the guys in the yellow category. Here's an excellent exercise for that. That requires effort and stepping out of one's comfort zone.
I picked the colors for the graphic based on a traffic light. Green for go, yellow for caution, red for stop. I acknowledge that this is a very simply metaphor. I also acknowledge that when it comes to attraction and dating, humans can be very simplistic.
This gets a bit complicated but bear with me.
There's a new Guardian woman columnist who writes about attraction and dating for post-divorce singles. Oh, I know about that! This author has even covered Manosphere issues. Her complete list of blog posts can be found here.
I also blogged about her here.
In my initial blog post, I proposed this:
…have The Guardian fund a trip over here to South Florida. The weather must be awful over there right now. We could go to the beach.
The Guardian is a legitimate UK newspaper with a left-of-center editorial stance. I remember reading it when I was living in the UK so many years ago. I attended the University of Sussex for a year. I get links in my Twitter account to The Guardian and so read their articles often. There are similarities between American and UK culture that can't be overlooked when considering the relationship between the sexes.
It's complicated because of all the anonymity. I only know her twitter handle: @GreyStellaGrey and she writes under the pseudonym of "mid-life-ex-wife". She also claims to be a 50-something single woman doing the online dating thing. But for all I know, it's a gay man hoping to drum up some clickbait for The Guardian. But the author blocked my own Twitter account so she has no idea what I'm Tweeting. Thankfully, some of my followers are helping me out in this regard…Mina!
Here's what I am proposing. "Stella" flies across the Atlantic to meet me for a date. Hey, it's winter in the UK and the weather there sucks at this time of year. The weather here is quite nice. Imagine, The Guardian funds a trip to sunny, South Florida for a disillusioned, 50-something UK single woman to have a date with a one-eyed 50-something American dude who lives close to the beach and has an ugly dog (who snores). What can go wrong?
So here's what I request… my readers send emails and tweets to The Guardian and "Stella" in order to try to make this happen. All I'm promising is some fine ice cream in my village of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea (that even sounds English!). That's it. After the across-the-pond date, we can each blog about our respective dating experience with one another other. I get page views, The Guardian gets clicks. Win-win. There are some basic logistics to figure out but I'm sure the crack team of administrative types at The Guardian can handle it
This is going to be legendary!
I've tried a bunch of online dating websites over the years. I have purchased the premium features so I could get more out of a particular website. I have also researched and talked to many people about what they find frustrating about online dating. As technology has advanced with bandwidth and data storage, online dating websites can add more features. I was having a nice phone conversation with a woman who is actually creating a new online dating website and she asked me for suggestions for her new website. I've been thinking about this for the past few days and here's my list:
1. The expiring message
This is my best idea. Guys send out a message via the online dating website. He selects the "This message will expire option within certain period of time – 24 hours, 48 hours, whatever. When the woman receives the message, she's alerted that the message will automatically expire (and be deleted) unless she responds to it. Better still, her profile is automatically blocked if she doesn't respond within the selected period of time. #2 is related to that.
2. The cut and paste preventer
Guys send out way too many copy and paste messages. It's embarrassing, ridiculous, and completely ruins the online dating experience for women. If he composes and sends out a copy and paste message, the online dating website scans his previous messages and determines if it's a copy and paste message and displays a warning: "This message is identical to a previous message you have sent. Please change the message or it will not be sent." Yeah, there will be work-arounds but this feature would ensure that lazy guys stay on their toes when sending out those messages.
3. The lack-of-photo profile blocker
This one is easy. If there is no photo, the profile will not be displayed and is not searchable. See #4
4. The fake profile nukage
Photos are easy to swipe from the 'Net. But the 'Net ain't stupid. Try this to find some matching images. When photos are posted for a new profile, the online dating website would automatically scan the 'Net looking for the same images. If one is found of a good-looking person or celebrity, the new profile-poster is presented with this: "The photo you are attempting to upload matches the following photos and your account has been deleted. Sorry, no refunds."
5. The body analyzer.
A new user attempts to upload a photo and they describe themselves as "slender" or 5'11" in the profile. The website's algorithm analyzes the photo and assigns the proper weight and height. Hell, maybe it even assigns the accurate age.
I'm no longer the biggest fan of online dating because of the exaggerations and lies that happen with profiles. However, technology can help.
I recently read this opinion piece in The Guardian, a UK-based newspaper/website. It was posted in an odd category, "Online dating Mid-life ex-wife" The author of the piece, writing under a pseudonym, bemoans her invisibility to whom she calls "silver foxes", guys in their fifties who still have it together in terms of looks
Here's a salient paragraph:
There seems to be a gender imbalance, vis-a-vis the packaging thing. All the women I know are tolerant of middle age showing itself in a chap. We quite like a late flowering, in fact: the silvering, the smile lines, the coming of bodily sturdiness. We read these as signs that life has been lived and enjoyed. We read them as indicators of substance, of being substantial. In general, men don't seem to grant us the same courtesy, at least not the men I meet online. They are highly focused on the packaging. It's disheartening.
This is good news for guys in general. This is good news especially for guys who haven't strapped 30 pounds of stomach fat above the belt line and who also have at least a modicum of charisma. I know personally what weight loss can do. I also know that charisma is a huge part of being attractive to women.
The author of the piece is very unhappy that men in her demographic aren't looking at her, they look at much younger women. Well, duh.
Here's another salient paragraph where the author asks a question to a male friend and he responds accurately:
These are just facts. Men like youth. They like long hair. They like colour. They like slender, as well. Sorry. You're going to have to lose weight and grow your hair and wear red if you want the silver foxes to see you.
The question is, should I be prepared to change?
Change. There's the ugly word from the whole story. We Manosphere men encourage self- improvement.
Masculine self-improvement is change. Sadly, when a guy has the audacity to recommend a woman lose weight and grow her hair, it's usually perceived as a threat and the response from a middle-aged woman is often anger. As we get older, so much changes. What we wore and how we looked from our 20s is hugely different. Women get fat, men lose hair. This shit happens. The author of the above article is having a very difficult with recognizing that those silver foxes don't notice her because of the changes that come with aging. The question for her is, "how many ordinary men have YOU looked at as you are out and about?"
Yeah, thought so. Change is inevitable.
If a woman in her 50s has been good with her body and her mind, she will get noticed. If she eschews those awful, "comfortable" outfits and makes an attempt at dressing herself to look more attractive, she will get some admiring looks. Being comfortable is a terrible and selfish excuse when being in public. I see that in both men and women. It's revolting. When I want to draw attention to myself, I dress the part. But no fuzzy hats! For a man, it's simply a matter of dressing one level up from the rest of the guys.
After an interesting Twitter exchange with the author, she made it clear that she doesn't want my advice. That's her choice. She also has to understand that her actions have consequences. Being unwilling to change and adapt to her current demographic landscape means she won't meet her relationship goals.
However, I was rather flattered that she reads my blog and has been for quite some time. Noice! Stella, you're a peach! You're flawed and unyielding, but a peach nonetheless. If you weren't across the pond, I'd have a date with you. Better yet, have The Guardian fund a trip over here to South Florida. The weather must be awful over there right now. We could go to the beach.
[Update: The author of the column blocked my Twitter account. Lulz!]
She clicked the wrong button on Plenty of Fish. She was viewing her auto-generated matches and there was my smiling face on her computer's monitor. As her friends had encouraged her to try online dating, she jumped in, not really understanding all the various on-screen controls.
When I opened Plenty of Fish, I saw that her "meet me" message was in my inbox. I reviewed her profile and responded. I never respond with something long and involved. I keep things brief and positive. She responded back. I didn't know the whole backstory of why she was online dating. She was a bit older than me and her photos showed a woman of an attractive and pleasant demeanor. Smiling makes a woman so much more attractive in her online dating profile photos.
With some back and forth messages that were brief and pleasant, phone numbers were exchanged. Texting resulted, as did a phone call. A daytime, weekend date was set up. It was ice cream at a very established local ice cream place close to where I live. I do a lot of walking.
She arrived a bit late because of parking issues but did send me a text letting me know that she would be late. That's seriously polite. I hope everyone does the same. We found each other on a summer's day and spent an hour or two chatting amicably while eating ice cream. The ice cream melted quite quickly.
This is where the courage comes in. This woman was not ready for dating. She knew it and she told me directly early in the conversation. I was not fazed. I enjoy being social and learning about people. It turns out, she's a widow. Her husband of 20 years had died suddenly only about a year previously. I didn't question her about the circumstances, that's way too personal when meeting a person for the first time. She told me flat out that she was seriously considering texting me on multiple occasions to cancel our meeting. But she still came out to meet me. We had a fine chat.
The take-away lesson from that date is this: Dating takes courage. It means moving out of a comfortable space and actually going on dates. This woman did it. Even though she clicked a link accidentally, she followed up and went on a date with me. I was quite flattered. Dating requires introspection and adaptation to the current realities of the world. This includes both technology and social realities. Introspection takes courage. When that woman left the house to meet me, she was taking a big step.
I continually exhort men to get out of the house and be more social. This is a big part of the courage to go on dates. As well, women over a certain complain mightily that not enough men attend social events. Think about this, guys. There are more available single women out in meetspace. Online dating is all well and good but real life is so much better. Courage, gentlemen, courage.
I'm often in public company, whether just walking in the village, attending a social event, or having a cold beverage at one of the several outdoor places here in the village. I like to listen to people have conversation and watch the social interactions amongst a generally middle-aged crowd. For the most part, people are happy and civil. However, there's always an exception. It's the voice of the blowhard: (From Merriam-Webster)
a person who talks too much and who has strong opinions that other people dislike
In my part of the world, there is inevitably a guy over 45 with right-of-center political views. Given any opportunity he will make a loud, ill-informed (always) statement. It's so loud and so ill-informed that he only serves to embarrass himself. It's not attractive. Imagine a blowhard at a singles event. He's offputting. He harshes the mellow. He is borderline offensive.
It's OK to be an online blowhard. Hell, I've been accused of that enough times. But real life is a very different matter. What happens online is not real life.
The blowhard lacks emotional self-control, a trait in men that is equally nasty as the same in women. I recognize the blowhard because I have to be careful not to be one. When I'm in public – and, shudder, on dates – I tend to talk too much about Red Pill ideas. Such notions sometimes don't go over well and it takes a lot of my psychic energy to select my words very, very carefully. Men should always be careful about how they speak.
Being a blowhard is also related to being ready for dating. If a guy is compelled to talk about an ex on a first date, he's not ready for dating. Likewise, if he feels compelled to talk about his political ideology on a first date, he's not ready for dating. If a man can talk about something that encompasses different points of view, that means he's intelligent and thoughtful about a particular subject. That's very attractive to women. Intelligence is a turn-on.
I understand that making authoritative statements can make a woman swoon. But the massive caveat is that those statements must be about something she can relate to, not something that she has no interest in. As well, the know-it-all who loudly interjects a verbal opinion is not a confident maneuver. It's an obnoxious maneuver.
There are too many guys that I would like to smack upside the head for being blowhards. But I won't. I'll focus on how I deliver my own opinions, not on the failures of how other men deliver theirs.
Note: Several twitter account links are included because I likes me some Twitter. Get yourselves some Twitter and follow me… @man_private
I follow about 1,100 accounts on Twitter. There's a lot of political and cultural chatter that I take an interest in but rarely re-tweet or respond to with my own tweet(s). I do actively follow younger PUA (Pick Up Artist) guys because some of them are quite good at distilling solid attractive advice for men into cogent tweets. Here's a great example from BE A PICKUP ARTIST;) @PUA_DATING_TIPS:
Pushovers are wussy, betas who don't believe they deserve better treatment. GROW A SPINE. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF (with this photo attached).
Scoundrel @ScoundrelBlog Responded with:
What's the sexiest part of a man's body?
His spine!
This, in spades. A man's figurative backbone is the foundation of his confidence. Without that confidence, his attractiveness to women is at its nadir. Do note that I'm not a big fan of the whole alpha/beta binary. Masculine attractiveness is on a scale and is also contextual based on the current social situation, even unrelated to being attractive to women.
This twitter interchange brings us over to the world of professional dating coaches. Bobbi Palmer @BobbiPal – who's customer base is 100% women – asks:
What is one thing that a man can do that would totally surprise you in today's world?
My response was this:
Show some backbone. The sexiest part of a man's body is his spine.
Yes, she was asking that of her overwhelmingly female twitter following but I couldn't resist because Bobbi is a clever person and knows good information when she reads it.
This is all theory for many guys, I know. Theory without practical steps is useless. So, here are some concrete steps for a man to follow. Yes, I covered this before but it always bears repeating.
I went to a very small private high school in New England. There were only 63 kids in my graduating class, a bit over 300 in the whole school. There were a lot of bright, creative young people. Quite a few went on to ivy league colleges. One or two became quite famous.
One particular guy in my class, Carl, was known for his creative and essentially harmless stunts he played on the school. On Valentine's day, our senior year, Carl did one of those stunts. Every Valentine's day, the senior class sold flowers and delivered them to the wooden, wall-mounted cubbies (we called them that) in the halls each student was given to store his/her stuff. We didn't have lockers. A student would order a flower and it would be given anonymously to the object of that student's affection. A white flower was for friendship, a red flower was romance. Given that the student's wooden cubbies didn't have doors, the flowers received in a cubby (labeled with the student's name) became something of a popularity contest. A pretty girl's cubby would have a dozen or more flowers on display. A popular guy would have the same thing. For the record, I only received two flowers in my entire three years at the school.
Back to Carl. As a bright and clever fellow, he understood the social validation nature of the flower-giving on Valentine's day at our school. So, he prepared an individual Valentine for every girl in the school, about 170 of them. He spent some time on preparations and on February 14, he arrived at school before the crack of down to execute his stunt. When the rest of the students arrived later in the morning, every girl found a Valentine token from Carl in her cubby. The whole school was laughing because Carl had pulled off quite a joke.
Here's what he did – He wrote some very strategic words on a piece of ordinary, (8 1/2″ by 11″) white photocopier paper. He actually used some basic typesetting so the words weren't hand-written. He then photocopied enough copies (again, on ordinary white paper) for every girl in the school. Before everyone else arrived for the school day, he went through the halls where the student cubbies were located and placed his Valentine message in only the girls' cubbies.
The punchline? The words on every identical photocopied Valentine message were these:
"You're my one and only".
Go Carl.

How to prepare for the inevitable ACA Data Breach...........don't register.
It is too easy to break into companies. The best way to prepare for a data breach would be to reduce/eliminate the value of a data breach. That is to pressure the credit card companies to provide secure credit cards. If I had a chip and pin card, I would just be changing my PIN after hearing about a data breach at a store that I shop at.
The securities regulatory landscape will continue to present significant challenges as the year further unfolds, with broker-dealers facing new or modified requirements that could significantly affect how they do business. Moreover, the SEC is expected to continue its scrutiny of firms dually registered as broker-dealers and investment advisers. Learn more about which regulatory efforts organizations are refining to meet rules now in place, and how they are preparing to work with rules that are still evolving.

On the morning of Friday March 13th, Red Nose Day, Jane Toft and I received an email from Kerry Lawrence at Immediate Media, the company who owns Mollie Makes, telling us how much had been raised from the sale of The Big Comic Relief Crafternoon magazine, the Mollie Makes special edition we made. I nearly fell off my chair when I read it.
Dave the guinea pig wearing the stegasaurus g-pig outfit that Jodie designed
The total was just short of £60,000 including the money raised from the crafternoons that had been held around the country. Money is still coming in from the sale of felt guinea pigs, tiny mice with frocks on, Spring posy brooches, felt chicks with jaunty Riverdance moves, floral moustache-making workshops and Rebecca Cobb's Ron the guinea pig illustrations.
This is enough to buy 23,600 malaria nets and is certainly enough to change many many people's lives for the better in both the UK and Africa.
I confess that when I thought of making a craft magazine to raise money for Comic Relief I hoped we might raise around £20,000- an amount could make a real difference. To triple that seems unreal.
This magazine would not have existed without the astonishing skill, talent, patience and kindness of Jane, Kerry, Monica, Tania, Jodie, Florence, Jamie, Jenny, Lucy, Gretel, Marna, Tif, Lauren, Twinkie, Clare, Rachel, Lynda, Laura, Messyla, Pygmy Cloud, Moose, Zoe, Haafner and Manda.
It would have remained on the shelves and wouldn't have made a penny without the thousands of excellent crafters who bought the magazine.
The urge to make stuff can achieve truly great things.
Thankyou so so much.
Here's a video showing the kinds of projects and people you have helped (it has David Tennant in it).

Feeding your pet
Use the following trick to avoid feeding other pets in the cafe when you buy a lot of one kind of food (even if only one piece). Your pet usually will say that they want it when they are hungry. Not only will you be raising your health level, you are not just buying something to waste on other pets. You can feed your own pet. Also, you will get one more point feeding your own pet than feeding the ones from the cafe.
Stuck on this game? Set a specific, clearly defined question and let others answer your question or view answers to previously asked questions. If you think you are an Pet Society expert then please try to help others with their questions.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, April 23 (HealthDay News) -- The Gritti-Stokes amputation procedure is beneficial and appears to be safe for patients in a trauma setting, according to a study published in the April 4 issue of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
To investigate the use of the Gritti-Stokes amputation procedure in trauma patients, Benjamin C. Taylor, M.D., from the Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio, and colleagues evaluated 14 consecutive patients who underwent Gritti-Stokes amputation and 15 consecutive patients who underwent traditional transfemoral amputation. The amputations were performed by orthopedic traumatologists at a level-I trauma center and patients were evaluated at more than 14 months post-surgery. At more than 36 months after surgery, patient-reported functional outcomes were measured using the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) questionnaire.
The researchers found that there were no differences in preoperative variables or demographics. Significantly improved SIP questionnaire overall and domain scores were seen for the Gritti-Stokes group. The Gritti-Stokes procedure left the patients with a significantly longer residual limb (average residual femoral length of 46.1 cm, compared to 34.6 cm for the transfemoral group). Significantly increased rates of walking without assistive devices were seen in the Gritti-Stokes group (five patients, compared to zero in the transfemoral group).
"The Gritti-Stokes amputation appears to be safe and beneficial when utilized in the trauma population," the authors write.
One or more authors or their institutions disclosed financial ties to an entity in the biomedical arena.

Proposed reservoir will stretch across two Ind. counties
MADISON COUNTY, Ind. - A proposed Madison County project could become central Indiana's newest reservoir.
The Mounds Lake Reservoir project would stretch from Anderson to Yorktown. The $400 million reservoir could provide billions of gallons of water for central Indiana, drawing on the White River for its supply.
Supporters said the reservoir would mitigate droughts and flooding. Opponents, including environmental groups, say the project would cause irreversible damage to the White River, forests and Mounds State Park.
The 2,100-acre lake would remove 270 mobile and modular homes, 80 houses and 80 businesses.
Some homeowners who will have to sell their property said it is a necessary project. David Schulte owns several rental properties close to the proposed lake's dam.
"To me, it's going to be a boon for Madison County and for Anderson and the entire area. We're depressed and we need help. Yes, it's at a cost. Everything is," Schulte said.
Despite environmental concerns, some homeowners said they will support the project if they are given a fair price for their properties.
Brent Hagan is one of the reservoir's biggest opponents. He has put protest signs along the nearby White River.
"Besides the fact I'll lose my home, my grandmother's been here since 1929 across the street from me. Nobody came down here and consulted us," Hagan said.
Madison County officials will hold a series of public meetings this week. If approved, the new reservoir is expected to be filled in seven years. Officials said no tax dollars will be used to finance the project.
More information on the public meetings here.

Recent Yucatan reviews
"Stayed in this house fro 2 months and loved every minute. Great location! Terrific sandy beach for swimming. Pool on the beachside is a plus. Very open and spacious feel to the house. Always felt safe. Bugs were minimal, and we had the doors open to hear and see the surf all the time. Joan, the property manager, was extremely responsive and helpful. Would rent again and for longer next time!"Guest: Pat T. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: March 28, 2015View listing
"This pretty casita is located around 20 minutes walk from Chuburna Puerto, the nearest village. There you can buy groceries, beer, fish and some meat, but there is no big supermarket. The house has an excellent layout, with two bedrooms and a nice open living area where you can cook while chatting to others in the seating area. A large window has a great view of the Gulf of Mexico and the sea comes up to a few meters from the house. There are plenty of plastic chairs outside, two good sun loungers and a big outside picnic table, so we spent lots of time every day on the beach. The owner, Leticia, responded immediately to our request to the Property Manager (Carlos) to repair the corroded stove by buying and installing a new one, so we were impressed by the quality of service from her. There is a regular Combi - Collectivo - service from Chuburna Puerto into Chelem and Progreso, which are the next bigger villages to the East of Chuburna Puerto. Chelem has more restaurants and shops then Chuburna. Progreso is much bigger with two large supermarkets and is a tourist destination for large cruise boats from Galvaston and Alabama twice a week. We really enjoyed the peaceful, quiet nature of Chuburna Puerto. It is right at the end of the development line along this part of the coast. It easy to make friends here as the 'Gringos' are very friendly -- some rent and some live here permanently, and there are no big hotels for tourist types. We stayed in February and most of the houses are unoccupied, except for Mexican holidays when parties arrive from Merida and enjoy lots of music and swimming all around, usually for a couple of days."Guest: Peter H.

"We had a fantastic week long vacation staying in this beautiful and private property. We are an adult couple with 3 grown children. Every morning started with coffee on the terrace, mesmerized by the gorgeous views of the pool and the ocean beyond. When we could pull ourselves away from this "activity", we had daily swims in the ocean & pool and walks along the beach. There is no tourist activity in this part of the world and the locals are very helpful & friendly, you really are immersed in the culture. We had day trips to Chelem, Progreso, Merida & Uxmal. In addition we swam in the Noc Ac and San Ignacio ceynotes. We had a fantastic trip and will return. Thanks for sharing!!"Guest: Lynne Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 14, 2015View listing
"Just a quick note to offer my most sincere thanks to Mary and Neil! Mary, your home is impeccable in every capacity! From location (on a lovely quiet street just 2 ½ blocks from the gorgeous Paseo, near restaurants, cafes, shopping and a number of plazas with their music and dancing and churches and museums) to décor (elegant and clean, with enviable fixtures, comfortable amenities and a clean flow from front to back) to the easy livability of the property (a fabulous home that feels like home), we were enchanted with every detail! The back patio was a lovely relaxing retreat where wine flowed and al fresco dining was in order after a long day, walking gorgeous Merida and discovering the many fabulous attractions. The well appointed kitchen is the hub of this lovely house, where meals were prepared using market goods from the many markets within walking distance. Thank you for offering this wonderful home! And Neil, thank you for your time and service! We appreciated the many tips and the offers of assistance. Thankfully, no assistance was necessary due to the perfection of the house, neighborhood and city. But it was nice to know you were there in the case that we needed you. And indeed, opening up the house and allowing that gorgeous cross-breeze to ventilate meant we didn't even need to use the fans very often, let alone the AC. Thank you both! Our stay in Merida was simply perfect!"Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 12, 2015View listing

MonthCalendar.AddBoldedDate Method
.NET Framework 4.5
Adds a day to be displayed in bold in the month calendar.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
You must call the UpdateBoldedDates method afterward to update the display.
To add multiple dates in a single assignment, you can assign an array of DateTime objects to the BoldedDates property.
The following code example uses the AddBoldedDate and UpdateBoldedDates methods to mark and display in a bold font dates read from a file. This example requires that a MonthCalendar control, named monthCalendar1, has been added to a Form and that this method is placed within the form and called from it.
// The following method uses Add to add dates that are // bolded, followed by an UpdateBoldedDates to make the // added dates visible. private void loadDates() { String myInput ; try { StreamReader myInputStream = File.OpenText("myDates.txt"); while((myInput = myInputStream.ReadLine()) != null) { monthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(DateTime.Parse(myInput.Substring(0,myInput.IndexOf(" ")))); listBox1.Items.Add(myInput); } monthCalendar1.UpdateBoldedDates(); myInputStream.Close(); File.Delete("myDates.txt"); }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) { // Code to handle a file that could not be found should go here. Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: '{0}'", fnfe); } }

They're taking a stand against the war, one step at a time
By Randy Furst, Star Tribune
July 28, 2008
Marching through small towns and big cities across Illinois and Wisconsin, a handful of war protesters are on the first leg of a 450-mile walk from Chicago to St. Paul to join demonstrators at the Republican National Convention.
"As we come through various communities, individuals and groups join us to walk for a day or two," Dan Pearson, 27, said by cell phone from Madison, Wis., where the group stopped Monday to attend a peace vigil at the state Capitol.

Peace marchers go the distance to oppose Iraq war
By Anita Weier
July 27 2008
The Capitol Times
View photos
Helene Hedberg is marching through much of Wisconsin to oppose the Iraq war.
But first she had to fly to Chicago — from Sweden.
Hedberg helps Iraqi refugee children in Stockholm and got to know march organizer Kathy Kelly during a human rights conference in Sweden. So when she heard from Kelly that Voices for Creative Nonviolence was organizing a march from Chicago to St. Paul, Minn., to arrive Aug. 31 in time for the Republican National Convention, Hedberg decided she had to participate.
Pictures From Summer Camp
July 27, 2008
At 6:45 a.m. this morning, our friend, Joel Gulledge, called from At-Tuwani, a village in the West Bank where he and another Christian Peacemaker Team (CPT) member were escorting Palestinian children to a local summer daycamp, protecting them from hostile Israeli settlers. A masked settler, carrying a slingshot, was threatening the children. While Jan Benvie, the other CPT team member, raced the children to safety, Joel paused to film what was happening. The masked settler caught up with Joel and attacked him. "He smashed my head again and again," said Joel, "with my video camera, and punched me in the face, repeatedly, with his other hand." Joel managed to remain standing. He didn't fight back, but he screamed for help. The attacker broke Joel's glasses, and Joel was bleeding from a gash over his eyes. When he called, he was waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Letter from Cathy Breen
July 27,2008
Amman, Jordan
Dear Friends,
"Think about it for a second. What would you do if your child was kidnapped? If you were in a war-torn country where the police couldn't help you? To many, if not most parents, the answer of course would be—anything, anything. Including paying ransom to those who were holding their child even if the kidnappers were terrorists. Over the past five years for many Iraqis, that choice has been a very grim reality." (Dan Rather Reports on 'The High Price of Ransom," HDNet TV, July 1, 2008)
Last week in a meeting at the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in Amman, I was asked if I had seen the above program. I had not, but was later able to get a printout of the text. I have it before me as I write you. Why is it that I am not surprised to read that one in every four Iraqis seeking help from the UNHCR has had a family member kidnapped? And yet seeing this number in print creates a knot in my stomach, and a feeling of nausea. One in four, imagine. One in four.
Peace walkers come to Jefferson County

LAKE MILLS - Several peace-minded individuals are putting their hearts into an endeavor that will likely touch the lives of many people before their goal is reached.
These individuals are walking 450 miles from Chicago, Ill., to St. Paul, Minn., encouraging others to participate in serious and meaningful discussions surrounding issues associated with the war in Iraq.

We woke this morning to less than sunny skies, but it was a near perfect day to be on your feet and exploring the countryside of Wisconsin. The weather was cool and the group seemed to be re-energized and ready to tackle the stretch of highway set before us.
We arrived at Commons Park in Lake Mills before noon, enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of the large trees, and shared a leisurely lunch while the town of Lake Mills was preparing for their Race for the Cure. Though our messages were not one in the same, there was definitely a common thread linking the groups and it felt good to be among people who were actively pursuing a cure and life for themselves, their loved ones, and humanity.

Didn't Make the Cut
The nation's first African-American president didn't make the cut on Fortune's first list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders. "President Obama wasn't excluded from Fortune's World's 50 Greatest Leaders list," Fortune said in a statement. "He simply didn't make this year's list of 50 outstanding individuals who have demonstrated rare leadership, leadership in multiple areas or who have demonstrated a long history of leading." But former President Bill Clinton did, coming in at number five on the list.

The $150 Image One is the first full-size, on-ear headphone from Klipsch. Its cushioned design is comfortable for short-term use, although we experienced mild discomfort over a long period of time. We're impressed by its ability to maintain a rich tonal balance for the price, and the three-button remote on the cord makes it convenient for iOS devices. Coupled with an extended two-year warranty, the value of the Klipsch Image One rivals other headphones that sell for double the price and we recommend it as a suitable aftermarket headphone for jamming on the run.
Design and features
The lightweight, 138.3-gram design features leather-clad pivoting earcups with black gloss trim and chrome accents. The ear cushions are padded with unusually soft "memory foam" that contours to your ears to provide isolation from ambient noise and enhance bass response. We found the headphones only moderately comfortable over long listening sessions; the slightly high earpad pressure became a source of discomfort, but everyone's head shape is different, so you may find the Image One perfectly comfortable.
Klipsch claims the Image One is one of the first on-ear (supra-aural) headphones to feature an iOS-compatible mic and a three-button remote system for taking calls and controlling music on Apple devices. The mic's sensitivity can pick up sound from 360 degrees and also features echo cancellation to increase clarity. The Image One features 40-millimeter drivers and 32-ohm impedance.
The earcups fold flat for easy storage in the included semihard travel case, with a strap to secure the cable inside. The 53-inch long (approximately) rubber cable appears to be of average durability, but the molded plug's "strain relief" design should provide some protection at the weakest point for headphone cables. Klipsch backs up its durability claims with a two-year warranty, double the warranty on most headphones. Accessories include a 6.3mm adapter and airline adapter.
We listened to the Image One in conjunction with our Schiit Audio Asgard home headphone amplifier and an Apple iPod Classic. The Image One has a fuller and richer tonal balance than Grado's $200 SR225i headphones, and the Image One can play significantly louder than the Grado does with an iPod. The Grado features an open-back design so it sounds open and less "inside the head" than the closed-back Image One. The Image One's bass sounded big and boomy as we listened to Robert Plant's recent "Band of Joy" album, but the SR225i's more controlled bass is more to our taste.
While the Grado is suitable for an iPod or other portable music players, it's really better for use at home, so Bowers & Wilkins' P5 on-ear headphone ($300) is a better comparison for the Image One, since it's designed specifically for portable music players.

Hoy Como Ayer
There is something about the spirit in this little club on Calle Ocho that will not die. Change owners, change the name, change the musical attraction: no matter. Two years of the wild success of the now-defunct weekly Fuácata party allowed the club to expand, with more spacious seating in the front and an intimate lounge in the back. The club has played host to many a marooned talent, from Albita to Carlos Averhoff to Malena Burke, insufficiently appreciated in other quarters. Regular parties come and go with a pleasant ebb and flow: Conjunto Progreso stirred up Sunday evenings for a time; Palo currently sizzles on Thursdays. Every other Wednesday celebrates the talents of local songwriters. Intriguing visitors are always welcome, from adventurous belly dancers to itinerant groove meisters like this year's favorite, Siete Rayo. There's no way to know exactly what awaits when you push past Hoy Como Ayer's heavy wooden door. Patrons can be sure only that they will be happy they came.

I am a high quality man and am looking for a high quality woman. Is that you? You know how to balance your professional and private life. Making time for that special someone is a priority to you. A fun date can be just about anything from going for a walk to a helicopter ride over the city. It's not about the activity, but the company. You are open to the possibilities and love to learn and explore/try new things. You are very creative. You believe you're worthy of love and belonging. You've done the work and know yourself extremely well. Your likes, dislikes, and can easily communicate them; especially when something bothers you because you would rather talk about it than keep it bottled up inside. You love every aspect of being a woman and enjoy your femininity. You smell nice! You embrace imperfections and are compassionate. You go after things like you can't fail, and you live the age you feel. You naturally bring out the best in me and at the same time challenge me by making me want to be a better person. I am a better person because you are in my life. You love to be challenged as well and want a man in your life that will call you out on your $hit when you're being difficult or irrational. I make you want to be a better person too, and YOU ARE because I am in your life.

While I do enjoy Hollywood fare, I absolutely love independent cinema. Two of my favorites include: "Lone Star" (1996), and "Shuffle" (2011). If you have actually seen these movies (or would like to) definitely message me!
Pillow fights! Pulling your ponytail, and snapping your bra. Oh yeah, I stopped doing that in junior high. Or did I ;-)
I recently read that the first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. Ladies.....Quit Laughing.
