Study: 37 percent of Palestinian women exposed to violence by husbands

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Some 37 percent of Palestinian women were exposed to violence by their husbands in 2011, says a new study revealed on International Women's Day.
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics says the highest percentage of the phenomenon was reported in Gaza, where 58.1 percent of women were subject to violence by their husbands.
The Ramallah and Al Bireh district witnessed the lowest rates of domestic violence against women for 2011, with 14.2 percent of wives exposed to violence.
International Women's Day is a national holiday in Palestine, which has a population of around 2 million women.
PCBS revealed that in 2012, literacy rates among Palestinian women have risen but are still lower than men's literacy rates.
Men's participation in the labor force is four times that of women while women's daily wages are 16 percent lower than men's.
Unemployment rates among women have risen by over 15 percent over the last decade, reaching 28.4 percent in 2011.
UN Women notes that women's participation in the labor force in Palestine is among the lowest in the world, particularly in rural areas.
Many women are employed in the agricultural sector on an informal basis, and UN Women is focusing efforts on enhancing rural women's economic security and rights.
The UN agency is cooperating with the Palestinian Authority Education Ministry in a project funded by Norway to support 200 female entrepreneurs who prepare and sell subsidized healthy meals to 70,000 school children.
In a message to mark International Women's Day, UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet noted that rural women and girls comprise one in four people worldwide yet they faced "some of the worst inequities in access to social services and land and other productive assets."
Rural women work long hours with little or no pay to produce a large proportion of the food grown to sustain their families, communities and nations, Bachelet said.
"No enduring solution to the major changes of our day—from climate change to political and economic instability—can be solved without the full empowerment and participation of the world's women. We simply can no longer afford to leave women out."

Probably the The highest percentage of violence against women (58%)
is reported in Gaza governorate because the Islamic fighters are taking-out their frustrations on their wives, because they can NOT harm Jews in Israel.

they should ask themselves how they raised their kids to be like that. when i see how crowds cheer on prisoners who get married a day after they got out of prison to a girl that never met them, it makes me sick. eastern backward societies always were hell for women
3 ) Yehuda Solomon / Israel
08/03/2012 22:35
Regarding domestic violence towards Israelite women, I have no data on this but I'm sure it's available. Domestic violence is totally inexcusable and sickening no matter where it happens. It should never be condoned, kept secret or treated lightly but should always be fully investigated and those who commit it must be punished and go for mental health treatment or locked up. Our Torah laws ban domestic violence at all costs and all our rabbis would absolutely agree on this.

I am sad yet not surprised by this fact in this article...
5 ) Amira / Canada

How about publishing the so many UN reports about the unhuman treatment that Palestinian women and children and handicapped and old and blind Palestinian get from the israeli occupiers?
6 ) Robert Haymond / Israel-Canada
09/03/2012 02:22
This is modernism: Women speak up, attempt to achieve independence and men hit (literally) back. Women are abused and the men blame Israel because...well, where do all these women get their progressive ideas from. Israel, their next-door neighbour, of course. Not until the men respect the women and children will Arabs ever advance in a humane way. Arab abuse of women is rampant across the whole Mideast.

Women must feel safe in this world, just like any man wish to feel safe. Unacceptable. Palestinian men should be better than this. If you cannot work it out, go for a walk, a lonnnnggggg walkkkkkkkkkk....... In the end you will be better for it.

This is probably an underreported catastrophe - the true statistics are almost certainly much higher. And if verbal psychological abuse is included, the rates would go through the roof. Violence against women must stop in Palestine, and everywhere.
11 ) Birgitta / Sweden
09/03/2012 21:30
I urge all Palestinian men to show respect and love for their wives, and certainly do not use force. It is not acceptable.

To Robert Haymond #6 'Not until the men respect the women and children will Arabs ever advance in a humane way. Arab abuse of women is rampant across the whole Mideast.' ...and I'm sure you can point us to your many, many posts denouncing sexual oppression, exploitation, and abuse in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. You're a real beacon of enlightenment.

09/03/2012 22:42
To ronen #2 'eastern backward societies always were hell for women' Yeah. I've read about life among the Haredim. Sickening, isn't it?
14 ) Colin Wright / USA
09/03/2012 22:46
'Rural women work long hours with little or no pay to produce a large proportion of the food grown to sustain their families, communities and nations, Bachelet said.' Happily, Israel -- by seizing the land and driving the Palestinians into ghettoes -- is rapidly rendering this issue moot. Though why the woman of a peasant household should be paid to work when the man isn't escapes me.
15 ) Colin Wright / USA
09/03/2012 22:48
It really is rather comic, though, to see Robert Haymond, Ronen, et al suddenly presenting themselves as the great champions of the rights of womankind. You KNOW this is not how they present themselves elsewhere.
16 ) Sarah / Israel
10/03/2012 20:57
That's right, Colin, change the subject to the Jews.....your empathy for Palestinian women is sadly absent in your rush to politicize the problem in accord with your agenda.
17 ) Robby / USA
11/03/2012 20:17
16 ) Sarah / Israel - I agree, deflection does nothing more then help to ignore the problem. Blame everyone but the person responsible. No matter how much Colin wants to blame the Zionists,this problem exists everywhere and should be addressed head on.
18 ) Elias / Palestine
26/03/2012 05:32
Tibi, its not the islamic fighters doing the beating, its mostly seculars who are. Islam bans muslims from even getting angry, let alone using violence to act on that anger. Men who beat their wifes are cowards and they exist all over the world. The quranic verse that you might be thinking of is not about actual violence, its a metaphor.
19 ) A / Israel

Re: Premier seethes over PM's comments (Aug. 23). Harper's statement that this is a crime, not a sociological issue, is pure political posturing.
Obviously, Tina Fontaine's death is both a crime, and part of a broader social phenomenon -- namely, the grossly disproportionate number of aboriginal women among the missing and murdered.
-- Spence Furby
What's stopping the provincial government from holding its own inquest? Greg could have taken the high road and said since Harper won't hold an inquest the province will.
Not that I want to see my tax dollars fund another inquest that will go nowhere and be ignored.
-- Criminy Cricket
Re: Moms, dads and dogs (Aug. 23). I am definitely an animal lover. We have cats and a dog... all rescue. However, they don't own clothes, they don't eat with us at the table, and they don't eat our food... they have their own. I do make sure they have good food, toys and treats and I do read the ingredients on their food labels; they go to the vet for regular checkups and shots, and they are loved by us. However, they definitely have a position in the hierarchy of our home, and that's not at the human level. They are pets, members of the family, but in a different position than my kids.
Me, that's a different story: I think I'm at the bottom of the food chain around here.
-- Val Surbey
What business is it of anyone how some people choose to treat their pets? You know nothing of their journey through their life, and what brought them to such a point in that journey.
I usually feel happiness when encountering a pet and owner that have found a bond, connection, or love with each other. Live and let live, people.
-- threee
Re: O'Shea the right man (Aug. 23). Mike O'Shea is the real deal. He has set the tone for the Bombers. He has provided a vision and made them believe in themselves. That is great leadership.
He gently refuses to be anything other than what he believes. He refused to take the bait that Saturday night's game was a "must-win." He cares, and I suspect very deeply, but he has a playfulness about him that shows he has perspective.
The Bombers have a very impressive coach who appears to be an even more impressive human being. I don't mean to gush, but the guy just gives off a great vibe. Rock on, Mike.

Mirko Filipovic: Best quotes
Mirko Filipovic: Best quotes
The following quotes are translated from a compilation of Cro Cop videos, I did not translate these quotes
Let me just start this article by saying that all those Chuck Norris jokes are bulls***, Cro Cop would roundhouse kick chuck Norris in the face. Norris was a "Texas Ranger" and Mr. Filipovic was a special forces operative. Nough said.
Cro Cop was the only fighter who I idolized for both his success and the things he would say, here are some of my favorite Cro cop quotes:
SEX: – Necessarily evil, I ain't fan of it.
Question: Can you open a beer with your bare hands?
Cro Cop: I can open it with my eye.
Question: Do you cry, maybe during the movie?
CroCop: I cried when I was watching Rambo 1 when they put him in a jail, it wasn't cool, the man didn't do anything, so that drew a tear to my eye. The sheriff started it first. I hate mistreatment. Peace, Freedom and Democracy for all. I would like to meet that sheriff which put Rambo in jail, he wouldn't be a thug then for a long.
Question: What are you afraid of?
CroCop: I am afraid of snakes, aggressive girls and loose dogs over 60 kilograms.
Question: How old are you?
CroCop: Well in looks 45, in intelligence 12, in reality 27.
CroCop: To be honest, I'm mostly scared of planes. All the rest is zero points all together. I'm always freaked out when it's taking off. And the fighting and brawling and that, forget about it…
Question: What symptoms do you have?
CroCop: Well I don't have any symptoms, but I have to have two stewardesses sit in my lap.
Question: Did you get any consequences from that? Every day someone chokes you?
CroCop: Well there's a little bit of blood not going to the brain, but fffor nnow there isss no cccconsequences as I know only consequence is that he is ugly. Why do you think he has same girlfriend for 6 years. He was a phenomenon in Bosnia. Do you know he already start walking when he was 6 months old. He was so ugly that no one would carry him around.
CroCop: Women first of all has to be educated, must have good manners, I don't like harsh words coming from women. Must be good looking, and must not ask many questions.
CroCop: I would like to be my dog.
Question: Why?
CroCop: Because he's living the best life in the world. I don't know if any other creature is living like that.
CroCop: Well there's a saying: Fuck the dog if you can't hit him.
CroCop: One time my wrist watch stopped from fear.

Are We Getting Smarter? Rising IQ Scores In the Twenty-First Century 421
from the we-sure-think-we-are dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
IQ is relative, so even if people were getting smarter on average, they should not score higher in IQ tests :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Mental_age_vs._modern_method [wikipedia.org]
When an IQ test is constructed, a standardization sample representative of the general population takes the test. The median result is defined to be equivalent to 100 IQ points. In almost all modern tests, a standard deviation of the results is defined to be equivalent to 15 IQ points. When a subject takes an IQ test, the result is ranked compared to the results of the standardization sample and the subject is given an IQ score equal to those with the same test result in the standardization sample.

"Another Great Story!"
She's done it again! Another "Stephanie Plum" book that's sure to please. The characters just get crazier, sexier, and more hilarious with each book! Gotta have it... Once again the Stephanie we all love...
"Stephanie is the best!"
I found this series and almost didn't get it because I hate serieses! As a general rule characters in a series are great and likeable in the first book but just get boring and monotonous with subsequent books. But the Stephanie Plum mysteries take "mystery series" to a whole new level... Janet Evanovich is brilliant and masterfully brings more depth and ingregue to Stephanie's character with this next book and it just keeps getting better!! You will fall all the more in love with Stephanie, Joe, and Lula in this book! Don't miss all the rest of the books to date in this series! The reader for these early books is ok, but I like Lorilei King, who does the later books, better. However don't let it stop you from catching all these early books in the series. They are delightful... just like Stephanie herself!
"Not too bad but..."
Janet Evanovich managed with her Stephanie Plum novels to do what every writer dreams of... create a character everyone loves and with each book gets funnier, sexier, and more intriguing. But somehow she lost it with the characters in Full House. While diffinately not a total waste of time (in my opinion) it was still not the hilarious laughs and constant tension that one would expect as a Plum fan. Full House did provide some really funny moments and Billy is likeabe (especially if you can identify with her simple "housewify" life) but as everyone seems to agree, not quite on par with what we fans have come to expect from Evanovich. Still it's a fun listen. A little too much inter-personal conflict than seems to fit the genre but some good laughs provide the comic relief. If you try this one just don't expect to see Stephanie Plum in any of the characters here.

1-Wire connection over powerline?
doofusNovember 8, 2012
[Cross-posting from "Electrical" forum]
I'd like to sprinkle my house with 1-Wire sensors (temperature - everywhere, humidity and flooding - in the basement), but the only wire already present in some locations is the power-socket (110V)...
Can the 1-wire microlan simply coexist with the AC power without short-circuiting and without the readings getting lost (that is, can I use the "white" AC wire as the 1-Wire data cable, for example)? If not, perhaps, HomePlug AV devices can be used as bridges?
Alternatively, maybe, the "interconnect" (red) wire of the Kidde-alarms (which we have literally everywhere) are usable for the purpose?
Thanks for any suggestions.

The makers of window films are asking for an exemption from federal standards so they can sell a darker film than usually is allowed.
In a Federal Register notice Thursday, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration asks for comments on the exemption sought by the International Window Film Association.
The current standard allows windows to be tinted as long as they do not restrict light to less than 70% of normal. This applies to windshields and windows to the right and left of the driver.
The Film group wants the standard to be set at 50%. It says trucking customers have had difficulty getting the 70% film, and that the darker tint will reduce eye strain and help keep the cab cool.
Comments are due by February 24.

Female Stimulation Tip - Intimate Touching
Women are vocal enough. They want INTIMACY! But just what exactly do you do to achieve this with your lover? That is, how do you do it without necessarily boring yourself or feeling awkward about it?
Intimate Touching 101
Intimate touching involves erotic body contact with your partner so for the following exercises, you need to be completely naked. Please note that intimate touching need not be done as part of `afterglow' (i.e., after lovemaking). In fact, in many cases intimate touching can be the best prelude to sex (foreplay) so do give it a try!
The Body Caress
Ask your lover to undress and lie face down on the bed. It's important that the room and your body temperatures are a bit warm so feel free to massage her first using a light warm oil and by lighting candles in the room. Assuming this part is taken care of, remove your clothes too and lie on top of her, supporting your full weight with your arms.
Alternate between supporting your own weight and letting yourself lie almost unsupported on top of her. The different weights she experiences serves as a form of massage on her back.
Make good use of your hands, arms, and legs too. For instance, when you're lying fully on top of her, let your hands roam up and down the sides of her body. When supporting your weight, try to move one of your legs up and down her legs.
For added sexual stimulation, try this intimate touching face-to-face... still naked of course.
The Spoon
Assume the classic spoon-to-spoon pose (i.e., lie down on the bed on your sides, facing the same wall). However, this time, let your hands roam her front. Start by touching her arms, massaging the back of her neck, her shoulders, and then moving your way forward towards her breasts. Breathe deeply and hotly on the back of her neck as you do this.
You can then move on to caressing her buttocks and upper things. If you guys are feeling a bit frisky now, try to nudge her legs using one of your knees. Once her legs are slightly parted, begin intimately touching her private parts.
The Vine
Ask your lover to sit up in bed, preferably on the edge of the bed. Kneel behind her and then ask her to extend her arms upwards, high above her head.
Now try and intertwine your arms around her arms. If you find this pose difficult, that's ok. Just reach up as well and hold her wrists.
This pose will make you guys front (you) to back (hers) again. Now stretch yourself by bending at the waist and reaching out on your right side. Since you're holding her she will be stretching with you. Do the same on the other side.
Go back to the starting position (arms up in the air). Now, keeping one arm still up, reach down and begin to fondle her breast. Again, since you're holding her, her hand will also start to fondle her own breast! Repeat using the other arm.
Sitting Spoons
Sit down on the bed, with your legs extended/sprawled forward. (It would be better if you can rest your back on the headboard for support.) Ask your lover to sit in front of you, placing herself between your spread legs.
Encircle her with your arms in a big, cuddly hug. Pull back and start to fondle her breasts. Start by ensuring your hands are doing the exact same thing on each of her breasts. Then start doing different things to each breast.
Eventually, reach down and explore her private parts. When she's fully stimulated, slowly insert a finger inside her. Now, ask her to perform Kegel exercises on your finger.
While she's doing this, be sure to breathe deeply and hotly down her neck and use your other hand to ensure her breasts are not neglected.
Below the Waist Exploration
Ask your lover to lie down spread eagled on the bed. Start stroking her thighs, her calves, working your way slowly down the length of her till you reach her feet. (You can give her a foot massage at this point.)
Now from her feet, slowly make your way back up the length of her. When you reach her `apex', start intimately touching her private parts. Proceed to oral stimulation.
Enjoy yourselves!

All too often, men think that they're not approaching lovemaking right that's why their lovers are not in the mood for sex. But have you given a thought that maybe it's because of how you ended the precious lovemaking session? Afterglow is very important to women and if you don't get this one right, it sort of reduces our desire to engage in sex the next time.
If you find that your lover is more often NOT in the mood than you should talk to her in a different way? Dirtier, perhaps? It may not make you more romantic but an expanded adult vocabulary can make you seem a bit more experienced and occasionally add a little intrigue to your sexual portfolio, which in turn stimulates a woman!
I don't know if it's something in my mind or my hormones but some foods just get me hot and the chance for great lovemaking goes way up after my man has arranged for us to eat in style. I especially get turned on when my partner has gone out of his way to prepare an aphrodisiac dinner.
Undoubtedly, a woman's breasts rank up high on the erogenous zones list. Breasts have many nerve endings that it doesn't really require a lot of effort to stimulate a woman via her breasts or nipples. However, simple stimulation is not what we're after, right? You want her to be really sensually turned on when you start paying attention to her breasts.
Contrary to popular belief, a lot of women enjoy adult entertainment too. Unlike most men though, they may opt for the ones with a `romantic storyline'. You see, if men are easily turned on by two people in bed, some women may find this crass or insensitive and be turned off by it.
Unlike men, women need a little bit more time and stimulation to get their sexual juices flowing. This is why it's so important for men to master the fine art of foreplay.
The bathroom can be a really exciting sex haven for you and your lover. Of course, you need to be careful as you guys don't want to slip and hurt yourselves but apart from that, you guys can be in for a truly great lovemaking experience.
When you think of your garage, what comes to mind? Dusty? Smelly? Dirty? Well, that may be true but that doesn't mean it can't be steamy, illicit and sexy, too.

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
Listen to the Story
Composting has long been practiced by homeowners in Central Ohio and elsewhere as a way to recycle kitchen waste and create fertilizer for the family garden. But now composting has become big business. Restaurants and grocery stores have gotten into the act.
I'm on Route 42 in Delaware County standing outside of Ohio Mulch. Here trucks from Columbus drive up every day to dump food scraps and other waste where it's mixed with wood and yard waste. Then it's hauled to one of several large piles. There it's left to "cook.â€
It's a cold, snowing morning but there are plumes of steam rising off rows of rotting stuff…and it smells to high heaven. While many homeowners tend to small compost piles in the backyard, Ohio Mulch is a commercial composting site.
"The food scraps that we receive here are primarily pre-consumer food scraps. So a lot of the back of the house food scraps from restaurants. And also a lot of produce from grocery stores. any item that can go bad relatively quickly is what we see a lot of, " said Ohio Mulch spokeswoman Kristin Chek.
Since the mix has a high concentration of food, the stuff stinks as it rots or breaks down. And that rotting actually produces energy.
Even on cold November days temperatures inside the piles of rotting food waste can get pretty hot.
"Good temperature to be at is somewhere, I believe, between 130 and 160 degrees. So even if there's a layer of snow on top, once you dig into the pile it's still really warm," Chek said.
Chek said the heat comes from bacteria released during deterioration. Eventually, it becomes fertilizer or potting soil.
More and more restaurant owners and grocery store operators see the benefits of recycling food scraps. Many are turning to composting as a way to eliminate garbage.
In Central Ohio, White Castle began a pilot program for composting food scraps last December.
Manager Shannon Tolliver says the company creates efficiencies by fabricating its own sinks and other equipment in a huge manufacturing facility behind the company's headquarters. And she says White Castle has a long history of recycling.
"We have cardboard boxes that we've been reusing since the 1960's from our bakery to our Castles. Our Castles take the buns out of the plastic bag in the boxes and send them back to our bakeries. And the boxes get reused about six or seven times,†said Tolliver.
Tolliver said making the move to composting was a natural one. The program became so successful and popular with employees that the company recently started recycling at most of its Columbus-area stores along with the company's home office on Goodale Boulevard in the program.
"So far since I think since October we started with our home office October of 2012 and we added our Castles in December 2012, we've diverted over 42 tons of food scraps since September of this year," said Tolliver.
Kroger also recycles an impressive amount. The nation's largest grocery store chain has 126 stores in Central Ohio. Columbus Retail Manager Marne Fuller said Kroger created a multi-store compost pilot program for the state in 2008. Now, Fuller said the chain diverts thousands of waste into a compost pile.
"We have all of our fiber material, all of our waxed corrugated, all of our wood, all of our paper. We also have all of our organic material, all of the produce type material. We also do the deli department. We have the cakes the breads, things of that nature that actually don't get donatedâ€, Fuller said.
All of that, Fuller said, that's adds up to a lot of waste.
"Every week the boxes that come out of each store are weighed and we've been tracking it since the beginning of the program and we have actually diverted 31 million 6 hundred and 36 thousand pounds,†Fuller said.
After 6 to 9 months of composting, all the would-be garbage turns into a clean smelling, finely grained fertilizer to be used again for gardening. And that, says White Castle's Shannon Tolliver, is just what the company did.
"We actually used their compost which is called 'Green Envy' to plant some flowers for Earth Day this year,†said Tolliver.
Marne Fuller of Kroger said the company resells 'Green Envy' to its own customers.
"The customer will come back in and say 'You won't believe how big my rose bushes are.' They're very happy when they get to use the product,†Fuller said.
Overall, companies aren't spending any more money composting than they would throwing trash in the landfill.
And it doesn't look like commercial composting in Central Ohio will slow down anytime soon. This year Ohio Mulch doubled the amount of food scraps it received over last year.

In the days when most of these images were created there were no computers, this original art was created by hand, by artists, and illustrators hired by the major publishing companies.
Its hard to imagine now, a world without computers, but remember, there were also no TV's, or CD's, and precious little record players!!! If you wanted to listen to the popular songs of the day you would have to buy the sheet music, and then find someone to play it on the piano!

PE Design 2.5 up to 5 (I think)
I just installed my old windows XP so I can use either one on my monitor,Was like seeing an old friend again.However PES design had been removed but Babylock is still there.Pes Basic will not work with Babylock and I still need PES.Can anyone tell me where I can find a copy of Pe Design 2.5 to 5.I keep looking on E Bay but not using computers much I am not good at searching this type of thing.Thanks
Pes Basic is only for transferring designs from computer to the PES Basic card. It will not serve as the security device to make any PE Design software program work. I have PE v2, v4, and v5--I had never tho't to ck my v5 card writer with any of those programs to see if it was compatible---until just now. And it is not recognized for v2 which is in an old XP laptop. I do, however, know that the cardwriters for v2 and v4 and Babylock 1.1 ARE compatible and I can open the programs with any of the boxes connected. I received your email, but was unable to answer as you have not set up your page with your address.

After making a lot of buzz while filming some beach and dune scenes in Portstewart Strand, HBO's "Game of Thrones" is moving on to its next location as it wraps up its production in Northern Ireland. Lead star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who plays Jamie Lannister in all four seasons was spotted filming some scenes with Jerome Flynn as Bronn.
One of the country's most popular beaches, the stunning location was closed to the public on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 6 to 7, for the GOT's upcoming season. Local beach-goers were treated with the show's amazing props and costumes as they watched the filming unfold from afar and posted some major spoilers on Twitter, Flickr and Instagram.
Flickr user herringpond managed to capture some quality shots on Friday featuring the Dornish guards while riding on their horses. The most recognisable among the cast, the guards were wearing bright yellow costumes complete with their yellow turban. Also captured are Dornish locals travelling with donkeys carrying their goods and fresh produce, on which according to the photographer is all real.
While the crew can't maintain the onlookers during their beach scenes, filing atop the dunes was shrouded in mystery with only a few people that are able to get some distant shots. Prior to filming in Ireland, there some speculation that Jamie Lannister will be arriving in the famed city of Dorne, and according to some witnesses Cersei's twin brother was spotted dueling with Dornish guards on the beach.
"This was further confirmed by a leaked Site Access Plan, detailing that there would be a fight sequence filmed, but also a walk and talk scene between Jaime and Bronn, and that the small tent scene spotted was in fact Ellaria Sand's, who would discover that Jaime and Bronn had arrived in Dorne," Winter is Coming reports.
Another evidence that could support the claim is Photopress Belfast photo as they managed to capture two actors in a small boat rowing towards the shore. Rumour has it that the two men are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jerome Flynn.
Filming in a public beach caused quite a commotion but local beach dwellers are thankful for the worldwide exposure of their beautiful beach.

The BBC has revived Poldark, last seen on British screens in 1977. It clearly hopes that the story of an impoverished gentleman returning from the American revolutionary wars to find his Cornish family seat in ruins, the county in turmoil and his true love about to marry another will again beguile audiences.
The original Poldark came, much like today, amidst a tsunami of historical dramas. A strong element of Poldark's appeal was visual, as is the case with most period dramas. The Cornish landscapes, costumes and interiors gave audiences a strong sense of time and place. The series also benefited from the brooding presence of Ross Poldark, in tight breeches, boots and flowing shirts, a role that made Robin Ellis widely known as "the sexiest man on the telly".


text: Channing Tatum Interview for Magic Mike Magical Moves... July 2, 2012 Interview by: Dan firstname.lastname@example.com Written by: Rocco firstname.lastname@example.com Channing Tatum has carved out a niche, mostly as a favorite with women in romantic films like Step Up, Dear John and The Vow. Then, he began to show surprising new dimensions, with his first crack at comedy in the hit 21 Jump Street. Now the 32 year-old former stripper and model parlays his physique and his past as "Magic" Mike Martingano in the film Magic Mike. Tatum talks about what he hoped to accomplish tackling a film dealing with the mostly untapped world of male stripping. "I just think we're trying to do our part to objectify men for the first time in movies," Channing says. Channing was asked if any of the ladies who were hired as extras as club patrons ever took their roles too seriously. "You've got to commit," Tatum notes, "Actually, they were there for a while with us and they became sort of our friends. You'd get off stage and they'd go, 'Yo, that was a really good one. Really, that part where you did the thing, that was great.'" Tatum claims the film's screenwriter Reid Carolin was a little too intrigued by the world of male strip clubs in his doing research for the film. "Reid was in male strip clubs," Channing says, "I couldn't even get him out. I was like, 'Man, you don't have to go to every one. They're all pretty much the same.'" Channing talks about how the film, in which he plays a male stripper showing a young novice, played by Alex Pettyfer, the ropes while the latter seeks a life beyond the world of thongs and grinding how the film deals with becoming a man. "I think everybody either knows somebody or has experienced it themselves, whether they did or didn't graduate college, afterwards you're like, 'Okay, what do I do now?'" he says, "You have the dreams that you want to do and then you have to do other jobs until you can get to that dream." "Mike, and I think a lot of these guys, just sort of fell into this thing and it was fun and years just sort of ticked on as the party was happening," Tatum adds, "Then all of a sudden you're like, "Wow, it's seven years later and I don't really have very much to show for it. I'm not any closer to my dream." At some point the party had just gotten away and it became your life. I think that's happened to a lot of people. They just get sidetracked." Tatum was asked if he had any reservations about performing with a lack of clothes. "My wife married a stripper, so she pretty much knew what she was getting herself into as a prerequisite," he says, "I just respect these guys for jumping into the thong with both feet and out onto the stage because I've done it before and it was still nerve racking for me. I can't imagine what these guys had to go through." "[Matt] Bomer had to go first," Channing continues, "I felt so bad for that. I was like, 'Maybe I should go first.' Everybody just committed. Every single person up here just went for it, and I wish we had time in the movie to show everybody's dance because everyone worked so hard on them. It's a humbling thing to get up there and you're left with very little to the imagination in front of almost three hundred people. It's very, very nerve racking." Channing was asked if there was any competition going on with the dancing going on. "[Director]Steven [Soderburgh] was very competitive, yeah," Tatum claims, "Steven got up there and he gave it all, he gave it all up. Tatum talked about the hours he spent getting fit and working on the choreography. "It really was like that thing where, I've said this before, but I'll say it again, most movies, when you're done with your scene you go home," Channing says, "You go home, you're like, 'That's it. I'm good. I'm going to go home for the day.' That's not what happened with everybody." "You wanted to see them do their routine and do it well and kill it," he continues, "Every time that Bomer or anybody came off stage you went back and high fived them and told them what really worked, and you're just like, 'You murdered that.' It really became a weird team, in a way, like a very weird, strange team. 'I want to do strip competitions, guys. Can we do that? Can we enter some competitions, strip-offs?'" Channing was asked if the greater challenge was the character, the clothing, or the dance moves. "I'd say they're all pretty equal," Tatum replies, "I don't know. It wasn't hard. It wasn't so much hard. The routines, you wanted to stick them and do well and perform them well, but it wasn't hard. They were all fun and hilarious." "Like I remember the first day that they were like, 'Alright, guys, we've learned these routines and now it's time to get naked now, boys. It's got to happen sooner or later,' he adds, "And everyone was like, 'Woo!' and just went out and did it. You were just like, 'Okay, never mind. This isn't going to be as hard as I thought it was going to be. This is going to be pretty." Tatum was asked if he loved all the costumes he got to wear. "I loved all my costumes," Channing replies, "I have all mine." Channing also revealed why he stopped stripping. "I was undervalued so I stopped stripping," he replies, "No. Look, I was eighteen years old and I worked three jobs. This was just one of them, and I really enjoyed performing. It was probably my first performing job ever. I really like to dance, obviously, but then I didn't really love taking the clothes off at the end, but the world in itself was just a very dark world in a way." "I don't think we even scratch the surface of really how dark that place can get and how slippery of a slope it can actually be," Tatum adds, "This was probably the most palatable version of this movie. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to see it twice, you'd just be like, 'Okay, I feel dirty now.' I think we blade ran that topic, but just really got out and then I basically kept working in the clubs, but I just went with some of boys that danced as well and we'd just put on shows at this one nightclub, it's actually in the movie, Amphitheater. We put on these crazy shows on in the back that we didn't get naked in." Tatum was asked if there would be more dance montages as special features on the home video release. "I don't think that people get that they all end the exact same way, all devolve into pelvic gyration," Channing answers, "They all start clothed and end naked, and there's no really cool editing happening to miss the really gory parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that." MORE COOL STORIES FROM AROUND THE WEB ZergNet Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

Prehistoric artists were better at portraying the walk of four-legged animals in their art than modern man, according to new research published December 5 in the open access journal PLoS ONE by Gabor Horvath and colleagues from Eotvos University (Budapest), Hungary.
Most quadrupeds have a similar sequence in which they move each limb as they walk, trot or run, and this sequence was studied and outlined in the early 1880s by Eadweard Muybridge. The authors examined prehistoric and modern artwork ranging from cave paintings of cows and elephants to statues and paintings of horses, elephants and other quadrupeds in motion to see how well these artistic depictions matched the scientific observations of animal motion.
They found that the majority of depictions of these animals walking or trotting had their legs incorrectly positioned, but the prehistoric paintings had the lowest error rates of 46.2%, whereas modern pre-Muybridgean art depicted animal motion incorrectly 83.5% of the time. This error rate decreased to 57.9% after 1887. Whether these differences were due to artistic license with imagery or lack of understanding of animal movement isn't clear, say the authors.

"I had been looking for Save the Dates on several websites when I finally came across Wedding Paper Divas after seeing information about them I got an email via one of the bridal sites I am a part of. I am so glad I did. I wanted to have Postcard style Save the Dates and Wedding Paper Divas is one of the few websites that I found to have them! This design with the Looped Monogram is perfect! I love having the calender with the wedding date circled, another thing I was looking for, and I love seeing our initials stand out as well. Having the three picture design was nice as well as there were a few pictures from our engagement session that I wanted to use and I was able to. Once I placed an order, I received the proof in a couple of business days and approved it right away. I wasn't expecting the cards until the week of March 1 to March 7 but I received them yesterday! Such great quick service and I will definitely order from Wedding Paper Divas in the future."
"The entire process was simple and easy. The order was fast and everything was just PERFECT! Pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the paper. The only thing that could have been better was that the main photo came out too orange. But I still love my cards! Thanks for everything!"
"We had a white spot in one of our pictures and they made it disappear! We also loved the design of the save the date and they made sure it all looked good before we actually ordered it! Love it!!"
"My fiance and I bought these Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding because we loved the calendar idea and the font was very sleak. All of our guests told us how beautiful and classy the cards were because it didn't scream "SAVE THE DATE". Customer service and delivery was also great, we got the invites very quickly and they were a very quality product."
"This design was perfect for us! I loved the fact that we could change the font & color! It gave the cards a more personal look & feel"

Centerset vs minispread
Hi everyone, quick question:
Are centerset and minispread the same? Since they both say they fit 4inches, can I use a minispread faucet for pre drilled holes made for centerset faucets?
Thanks in advanced.
A 4" centerset faucet is an entire unit. A mini spread is individual components. They will use the same counter drilling pattern. The drawback to minispread is that the holes are so close together that it's difficult to clean in between the components--unlike a widespread which has 8" in between the components.
Thank you hollysprings!
Unfortunately I did not realize that my home builder would be drilling holes for centerset faucets! We were planning to replace the faucets ourselves to save costs afterwards. But now that my countertops are permanently drilled for centerset faucets, I cannot get wide spread faucets :(
Widespread faucets are definitely easier to clean and look much better. So mini spread is the closest I can get to the widespread look.

Defense Acquisitions:
DOD's Increased Reliance on Service Contractors Exacerbates Long-standing Challenges
GAO-08-621T: Published: Jan 23, 2008. Publicly Released: Jan 23, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5274
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense's (DOD) spending on goods and services has grown significantly since fiscal year 2000, to well over $314 billion annually. GAO has identified DOD contract management as a high-risk area for more than decade. With awards to contractors large and growing, DOD will continue to be vulnerable to contracting fraud, waste, or misuse of taxpayer dollars, and abuse. Prudence with taxpayer funds, widening deficits, and growing long-range fiscal challenges demand that DOD maximize its return on investment, while providing warfighters with the needed capabilities at the best value for the taxpayer. This statement discusses (1) the implications of DOD's increasing reliance on contractors to fill roles previously held by government employees, (2) the importance of the acquisition workforce in DOD's mission and the need to strengthen its capabilities and accountability, and (3) assumptions about cost savings related to the use of contractors versus federal employees. This statement is based on work GAO has ongoing or has completed over the past several years covering a range of DOD contracting issues.
DOD has increasingly turned to contractors to fill roles previously held by government employees and to perform many functions that closely support inherently governmental functions, such as contracting support, intelligence analysis, program management, and engineering and technical support for program offices. This trend has raised concerns about what the proper balance is between public and private employees in performing agency missions and the potential risk of contractors influencing the government's control over and accountability for decisions that may be based, in part, on contractor work. Further, when the decision is made to use contractors in roles closely supporting inherently governmental functions, additional risks are present. Contractors are not subject to the same ethics rules as government even when doing the same job, and the government risks entering into an improper personal services contract if an employer/employee relationship exists between the government and the contractor employee. DOD's increasing reliance on contractors exacerbates long-standing problems with its acquisition workforce. GAO has long reported that DOD's acquisition workforce needs to have the right skills to effectively implement best practices and properly manage the acquisition of goods and services. Weaknesses in this area have been revealed in recent contingency situations, but they are present in nonemergency circumstances as well, with the potential to expose DOD to fraud, waste, and abuse. It is important to note that the role of the acquisition function does not end with the award of a contract. Continued involvement of the workforce throughout contract implementation and closeout is needed to ensure that contracted services are delivered according to the schedule, cost, quality, and quantity specified in the contract. GAO has in the past several years reported wide discrepancies in the rigor with which contracting officer's representatives perform these duties, particularly in unstable environments such as the conflict in Iraq and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. A key assumption of many of the federal management reforms of the 1990s was that the cost-efficiency of government operations could be improved through the use of contractors. GAO recently reported that sufficient data are not available to determine whether increased service contracting has caused DOD's costs to be higher than they would have been had the contracted activities been performed by uniformed or DOD civilian personnel. GAO recently probed, in-depth, the cost of contractor versus government contract specialists at the Army's Contracting Center for Excellence and found that the Army is paying up to 26 percent more for the contractors as compared to their government counterparts.

I've been having this issue for a while now and I don't know how this should go on. Before I start, I apologize for bad wording or grammar, as german is my primary language.
I run Android since 3 years now and the problems began to evolve over the last one and a half years. I have it on my two latest devices, my international Samsung Galaxy S2 and my international HTC One X.
On my Galaxy S2, I noticed battery life getting worse and worse. I have my devices usually set up this way:
- All location services permanently turned off unless I need GPS
- Wifi only at home when I need it
- 3G always on
- Brightness about 50%
On my Galaxy S2, I got 2 hours of screen on time regularily. No matter what ROM I was using, if it was stock, CM, or anything else. I thought, maybe I just need a replacement battery. Bought one, changed nothing.
Jumping to my One X. I have set is up similarily to my GS2, running CM11 M8 atm (gonna flash M9 later, to see if it changes anything). It started out the same. I replaced the battery on this one, too, even with a larger one (One X+ battery, 2100 mAh) I only get little over 2 hours of screen on time. I've uploaded some screenshots for you.
Further investigation showed me, that there were no wakelocks draining me, CPU going to deep sleep correctly, no problem. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or at least that that is normal?! My dad gets days out of his battery, his Galaxy S3 LTE going strong on 40% left after 3 days with 2h 30m screen on. The One V of my mom lasts about a week. A friend of mine has a Galaxy S2 plus (she's a noob in android), wifi always on, location services always on, about 200 apps installed, this thing is slow as hell and it lags itself to death, but she has 10% left after a bit over one day with 3h 40m screen on time. And here I am, not even making it to dinner without giving my phone a good charge up. Right now, 2h 35m into battle, 7m 1s screen on and 94% left. Battery widget reborn says, I lose 1% after 9 minutes on average.
Can this somehow be in connection to my google account? I have trouble explaining it to myself.
Thanks a lot for your help!

2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 7 reviews
The 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac model year saw only a few changes made to the popular sport-utility truck. Design inside the cabin, and on the dashboard, was updated a bit; still, reviewers complained that Ford hadn't made similar revisions to the basic platform, which not only remained unchanged since the Sport Trac's introduction, but which had already been an outdated version of the Explorer platform.
Despite these gripes, the '04 Explorer Sport Trac sold briskly. Ford had a good sense of how many drivers out there were looking for the interior comfort of a midsize SUV as well as the versatility of an open pickup bed (with tonneau cover as an option).
The Adrenalin trim was made more luxurious for the 2004 model year; the '04 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin featured a high-end stereo system as well as flashy styling. The XLS and XLT trims were less out-there, and aimed more at the family market than, like the Adrenaline, at young men looking for a performance truck.
With a 4.0 liter V6 engine that put out 210 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2004 Explorer Sport Trac wasn't ever going to set the road on fire, especially with its 126-in. wheelbase. Still, that was just fine with most of its owners, who found their Sport Trac to give them all the comfort they needed for fun, and all the versatility they needed for work.

Pinky WInky not a bud in sight
Last year I was thrilled to find Pinky Winky at a local Lowe's after ordering it from a nursery and finding they were out.
So it was planted about July 4, 2008. This year: not a bud on either one (of two). Is this another highly touted dud?
Redsox, my Pinky Winky does not have any bud either, but it is looking very bushy and healthy.
I suspect that when you got it from Lowe's last year, the plant was forced to produce buds early by the nursery to make it look attractive, before it gets to Lowe's. I really would not worry about it. I won't expect to see buds on my PW until July, since my Quick Fire is just showing buds (and plenty of them!) now, and the QF is supposed to be the early blooming one.
It's too early for Hydrangea paniculatas to begin producing buds. I have seen none on any of my cultivars and probably won't this month. Peak bloom period for me is late July into August. All of the other Hydrangeas are about a month later than usual this year, due to colder than normal spring temperatures.
It should be remembered that most plants sold in nurseries and the Big Box outlets are grown somewhere else...usually the Pacific Northwest. So they usually come in fully leaved and also many times in bud. So don't freak out just yet...give it a full year to see how it performs in your garden first.
Glad to see this thread, I feel better--no buds yet on my overwintered Limelights or my Pink Diamond, but there are buds on a new Limelight I purchased this spring, as well as on a Unique peegee I've had for several years. It's almost July, getting impatient!
I discovered a 2 gallon Pinky Winky grown in NJ at our local Garden Center and sent DH back for it 3 days later after I checked to see if $25 was out of line to spend. Fell in love with the picture of it on the Proven Winners Web Site! It's now covered in tiny buds, and grew almost 6 inches since we planted it the first week in June. It must like all the rain and crappy weather we've had and I'm hoping it lives up to the pictures.
Anyone have tips on making sure it survives the winter? We're just a few hundred feet uphill from the Hudson River and rarely get a 'killing frost' but all the cold temps last winter did in my Don Juan Rose. My fault for not covering the union bud! I want to make sure Pinky survives!
George, I just came back from my yard - Quick Fire (in a pretty open location, but mostly facing west), is starting to bloom. NOT quite in full bloom yet, but then this is zone 5b so I guess it is not unexpected to be behind you in zone 6b.
Still no bud in sight for Limelight or Pinky Winky yet... buds are all over my Snow Mountain tree though....
