"The StormReady Supporter program has a long history of recognizing businesses and other stationary entities that promote the key StormReady concepts of severe weather awareness, preparedness and safety," said Rick Smith, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service forecast office in Norman, Okla. "As the first traveling venue to meet the requirements, the Linkin Park World Tour recognition is truly unique."
The recognition is the result of a close working relationship between the National Weather Service and Norman-based Weather Decision Technologies (WDT). WDT utilizes a variety of data and information, including National Weather Service watches and warnings, to provide the Linkin Park Tour with precision weather forecasts and alerts to help keep everyone associated with the tour safe when storms approach.
"This is a great example of the National Weather Service working with our partners in America's weather and climate industry to provide specialized decision support services," Smith said. "As we've seen in the recent past, large venues with thousands of people in attendance are especially vulnerable to severe weather.
Linkin Park recognizes this, and has taken extra steps to develop detailed plans to monitor the weather wherever they are and to take protective actions based on specific weather guidance."
The StormReady program is part of the National Weather Service's working collaboration with the International Association of Emergency Managers, the National Emergency Management Association and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Schaub's a smart guy, and he has control of the ball as the QB. He takes the snap, hands off or drops back and determines where to throw. If there's nothing open he can throw it away and avoid hits, Arian can't avoid a tackle in the case of running out the clock. You're just wasting Arian by having him take garbage carries in a game that is all but over. There's a good reason why they call the end of 3 score games "garbage time," it's for backup players to get some reps and take the hits, not multi-million dollar players who have already proven themselves.
How many times does a QB get their foot stepped on by their C or G? Schaub with that plate in his recently healed foot is just as likely as Arian (who is running behind pads, his OL, and can take knee) to get hurt. Same garbage time. One with a history.
Let's be honest here, how many people actually think Foster ends up w 400 carries? I sure don't.

Khloé Kardashian Odom (born Khloé Alexandra Kardashian; June 27, 1984) is an American television personality. In 2007, she and her family were commissioned to star in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Its success has led to the creation of spin-offs including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Khloe & Lamar. In September 2009, Kardashian married basketball player Lamar Odom one month after they first met. However, she filed for divorce in December 2013.
With sisters Kourtney and Kim, Kardashian is involved in the retail and fashion industries. They have launched several clothing collections and fragrances, and additionally released the book Kardashian Konfidential in 2010. In 2012, she co-hosted the second season of the US version of The X Factor with Mario Lopez.
Early life
Khloé Alexandra Kardashian was born in Los Angeles, California on June 27, 1984, to parents Robert and Kris (née Houghton).[1] She has two older sisters Kourtney and Kim, and a younger brother Rob.[2] Their mother is of Dutch, English, and Scottish ancestry,[3] while their father was a third-generation Armenian American.[4] After their parents divorced in 1991,[5] Houghton remarried to the 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon winner Bruce Jenner in 1991.[6] Through their marriage, Kardashian gained step-brothers Burton "Burt", Brandon, and Brody; step-sister Casey; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie.[7][8] In 1994, her father garnered public attention as the primary defense lawyer for football player O.J. Simpson during his murder trial.
As a teenager, Kardashian attended Marymount High School, a Roman Catholic all-girls school in Los Angeles.[9] However, she became home schooled after her sisters' graduations, with Kardashian stating that "there was no reason for [her] to stay [because she] felt like [she] didn't have any friends." When she was seventeen years old, she graduated one year in advance with honors.[10]
2007–09: Career beginnings
In February 2007, a sex tape made by Kim Kardashian and her former boyfriend Ray J in 2003 was leaked, which largely contributed to her rise to prominence.[11][12] Later that year, Khloé, in addition to her mother Kris; her step-father Bruce; her siblings Kourtney, Kim, and Rob; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie were commissioned to star in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[13] The series proved successful for E!, the network on which it is broadcast, and has led to the creations of spin-offs including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Khloé & Lamar.[14]
In April 2009, Kardashian and her sister Kourtney announced that they were contracted to star in a spin-off, which followed their move to launch a D-A-S-H store in Miami, Florida. The series, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, debuted on E! on August 16, 2009.[15] Starting May 29, 2009, Kardashian joined Miami Top 40 Mainstream outlet WHYI for a weekly four-hour talk/entertainment programm, co-hosted by 106 & Park 's Terrence J.[16] Khloe and her sisters Kim and Kourtney made a cameo appearance in the Season 3 premiere of the series 90210.[17] Kardashian made an appearance in episodes 2, 4, and 8 of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which premiered in January 2011. On April 10, 2011, Khloé & Lamar, Khloe's own show with her husband, Lamar Odom, debuted.[18]
Khloé has a business interest in D-A-S-H, a clothing boutique in Calabasas, Miami and SoHo, with her sisters Kourtney and Kim.[citation needed] In June 2009, Khloé and her sisters teamed up with the Natural Products Association to create a teeth whitening pen called Idol White.[19] Kardashian appeared in one of PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaigns.[20] The three sisters released a jewelry line in March 2010.[21] In the spring of 2010, the sisters released a clothing line for Bebe.[22] Bebe announced they were dropping the line in December 2010.[23] In September 2010, Kardashian and her sisters released another clothing line, K-Dash on QVC.[24] Kardashian and her sisters marketed a fake tan product, released in 2010 and called Kardashian Glamour Tan.[25]
2010–present: Television and other ventures
The sisters also released a book, Kardashian Konfidential, in November 2010.[26][27] In February 2011, Kardashian and her husband released a unisex fragrance called "Unbreakable."[28] In May 2011, Kardashian and her sisters announced the release of their first novel. Prior to publication, the sisters requested help with naming their book. The winner was offered a cameo appearance in the novel. In July 2011, it was announced that the winning title was "Dollhouse". In October 2012, Kardashian and Odom released a second unisex fragrance called "Unbreakable Joy," inspired by the holiday season.[29]
Kardashian's radio show, The Mix Up With Khloé Kardashian Odom, was a "one-hour, commercial-free show where Khloe will take requests, chat with her celebrity friends, and more during the Mavericks' season while she's in Dallas with her husband Lamar Odom." It aired on January 30, 2012.[30] In October 2012, Kardashian and Mario Lopez were confirmed as the co-hosts of the second season of the American version of The X Factor. Their first appearance on the series aired on October 31, 2012.[31] It was confirmed on April 22, 2013 that Kardashian will not return to co-host The X Factor for its third season.[32] On March 26, 2014, E! announced an Keeping Up with the Kardashians spin-off series entitled Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons.[33] The Hamptons follows Kourtney, Khloe and Scott Disick as they relocate to The Hamptons while the girls work on the New York Dash store plus open a pop-up store.[33]
Legal issues
On March 4, 2007, Kardashian was arrested for DUI.[34] On July 18, 2008, Kardashian turned herself in and reported to jail to serve time for violation of probation. She faced a sentence of up to 30 days and enrollment in an alcohol treatment program within three weeks of her release from jail. She was released from jail fewer than three hours later due to overcrowding.[35] In 2009, Kardashian was sued by a transsexual woman who claimed she assaulted her outside a nightclub.[36][37][38][39]
In March 2012, Kardashian and her sisters Kourtney and Kim were named in a $5 million class action lawsuit against QuickTrim, the weight loss supplement they endorse.[40] The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses the Kardashians (along with QuickTrim's manufacturer, Windmill Health Products; the retailer GNC; and others in the sales and marketing chain) of false and deceptive marketing of the diet aid. The plaintiffs, hailing from several states, brought claims under their respective states' consumer protection laws.[41]
Personal life
In 2001, Kardashian suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident in which she went through the windscreen and suffered a severe concussion, causing long-term memory loss.[42] Khloé stated "I went through the windscreen and had really bad concussion…and now I can't remember anything…and I think it's getting worse".[42]
On September 27, 2009, Kardashian married NBA basketball player Lamar Odom, who was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers at the time.[43][44] The couple were married exactly one month after they met at a party for Odom's teammate Metta World Peace.[45] Following her marriage, Kardashian removed her middle name to include her married surname, becoming Khloé Kardashian Odom.[46][47] Kardashian adopted a pet boxer named Bernard "BHops" Hopkins, after the famous boxer.[48] On December 13, 2013, after months of speculated separation, Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom, and for legal restoration of her last name.[49]
Kardashian was reported to be in an alleged relationship with French Montana as the couple continued to be seen in public being intimate with each other.[50] Kardashian's mother denied allegations insisting that Kardashian and Montana are nothing more than just friends. "They're friends. He's a good friend," she said. "They're just hanging out."[51] They have since confirmed the relationship by taking part in their first interview as a couple with Angie Martienez. During this they discussed French's religion and him observing Ramadan. However, they ended their relationship in September 2014 after 7 months of dating.[52] In November 2014 the couple briefly reunited but split once again the following month.[53][54][55]

Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
Kevin Love worked long and hard after shootaround today at Target Center and afterward declared himself fit and ready to go tonight against pal Kevin McHale and a surging Houston Rockets team that has won four straight, six of its last seven and has scored 120 or more in each of its last three games.
Included were victories over Memphis and the defensive-minded Bulls.
Love missed Sunday's game at New York because of an injured eye -- blood in the eye after he got poked in it during Thursday's victory over Oklahoma City -- that didn't allow him to fly.
"Eye feels good," he said. "I'm all good to go."
Then he offered a real gem of a quote -- one of the best so far this season -- when someone asked if flying prevented him from playing in a 94-91 loss to the Knicks on Sunday:
"I guess so," he said. "They said there was something wrong with my eye. It didn't feel like there was, other than my vision being impaired."
Oh, is that all?
He said he's willing to wear glasses or goggles if he must.
"Should I?" he asked. "Make a fashion statement? I don't think I have to."
He said he got re-checked on Monday, the blood is all gone and he's ready to play.
"Back tonight and hopefully in 2013 and heading forward there will be no more flu-like symptoms or nagging injuries for me and the rest of the team," he said, referring to an injury- and illness-filled season so far.
A couple other things:
* Expect Ricky Rubio's minutes to be increased, starting tonight.
Rick Adelman said on Sunday that everybody would meet before the Rockets game and talk about taking the next step of increasing Rubio's playing time from that 18-minute mark he has been held at so far.
Rubio said after shootaround only that it will happen "soon."
"I don't know when, but it has been a good three, four games of 18 minutes," he said. "I feel nothing at all in my knee. That's a good test and we can move forward."
It's the rest of his body that's still sore, adjusting to the demands of playing after missing the last nine months, including a chance to get his body accustomed to the grind of an NBA season with a training camp.
Somebody asked him today how he feels.
"I feel good," he said. "It is Christmas time, so I'm happy."

Every day around 6:33 p.m. Eastern time the cell phones and watches of members of Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Lexington, S.C., go off.
Air Force Lt. Col. Tim Wessel first heard it as a newcomer, visiting the congregation before moving to South Carolina, where his family had already set up residence.
"I'm military, so I move around a lot. I was coming in new to the [congregation's] oyster roast when more than 100 people — all ages — stopped in place and were completely silent for a minute," he said. "After that, they went right back to what they were doing. I'm thinking, what just happened here? Then my wife explained [it] to me." Heads bowed and eyes closed, members of Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Lexington, S.C., pray at 6:33 p.m. as parishioner and photographer Lewis Ziegler takes their photo. At 6:33, he often takes photos to "pray with [his] eyes," he says.

If you're a parent or expecting, Toys R Us is offering a chance to trade in old baby products and get a discount on new models. The three week "Great Trade-In" event starts Friday, January 29 and ends February 20, at both Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores.
Just bring in your old, broken, dusty or outdated baby item and get 25% off a new one in any of the product categories covered including: cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards, high chairs and toddler beds.
This is a reprise of a similar event run by Toys R Us in September 2009. During that time, the retailer took in approximately 55,000 items, most of which were in unusable condition.
According to Nancy Cowles, executive director of the not-for-profit Kids in Danger, it's a great opportunity to for parents to replace potentially dangerous baby products with safe ones.
"We've had about seven million cribs recalled," says Cowles. "Ten million sleep products if you include bassinets and portable beds." That's a huge number of unsafe baby products to retrieve from homes, and exchanges such as the Toys R Us program go a long way to help, she says.
Before heading to the store for a trade in, check the Consumer Product and Safety Commission Web site. If your item has been recalled, you may be eligible for a full refund. But with some products such as cribs made by Simplicity Inc., now out business, it's more difficult and a trade-in offers the best deal.
Consider exchanging high chairs more than 10 years old. "They've changed greatly in how they retain a child," says Cowles. The most injuries occur when a child falls out of the high chair.
Car seats five years or older should be replaced. "Safety standards change pretty rapidly, and if it's been in an accident you won't see the damage but it won't protect your child as well," Cowles says.
Play yards are another item worth getting new. Says Cowles, "It's one of those things where you're leaving your child unattended and safety is paramount."
When selecting a new item, simple is better, she cautions. The less hardware and fewer moving parts means less can go wrong. It's tempting to get an item that serves many functions but it's the places where parts fit together that failures occur.

Seth Bernard Lakeman (born 26 March 1977) is an English folk singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who is most often associated with the fiddle and tenor guitar, but also plays the viola and banjo. Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, Lakeman has belonged to several musical ensembles, including one with his two brothers, fellow folk musicians Sam Lakeman and Sean Lakeman, but has most recently established himself as a solo act.
The Lakeman Brothers[edit]
Seth Lakeman was born the youngest of three boys and grew up with his two brothers Sean Lakeman and Sam Lakeman in the village of Buckland Monachorum in West Devon, England. He began playing music with his parents and two brothers at an early age.[citation needed]
As The Lakeman Brothers, the three brothers released their debut album Three Piece Suite in 1994. Later that same year they were invited by two Yorkshire based singers Kathryn Roberts and Kate Rusby to join them as a backing group on a tour of Portugal. After the tour the five musicians became a permanent group and called themselves Equation.[1] The group were signed in a record deal with Time Warner in 1995. After three full albums (Return to Me in 1996, Hazy Daze in 1998, and The Lucky Few in 2000), and tours in the UK, Europe and the United States, Lakeman left Equation in 2001. He joined his brother Sam and Sam's wife Cara Dillon and appeared on Dillon's eponymous debut album, which featured Lakeman on fiddle, guitar and vocals.[2] The album won two awards at the 2002 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.[3]
Solo work[edit]
In 2002 Lakeman released his first solo album, The Punch Bowl, produced by elder brother Sean Lakeman which received wide critical acclaim including a review in fRoots magazine which said: "The songs don't just glide smoothly by.....they get their claws into you".[citation needed]
Kitty Jay, Lakeman's second solo album was released in 2004. Also produced by brother Sean Lakeman in his kitchen. The title track of the album tells the story of Jay's Grave, a well known location on Dartmoor. The album was recorded for a cost of less than £300.[4] Kitty Jay reached silver status in the UK a huge achievement for a folk based artist. That same year he collaborated with Devon singer-songwriter Steve Knightley and young local singer Jenna Witts on the album Western Approaches.
A UK tour in Autumn 2005 followed his Mercury Music Prize nomination, after which Lakeman and his band (regularly brother Sean Lakeman (guitar), Ben Nichols (bass), Andy Tween(drums), toured extensively with folk-rock band The Levellers, who took to closing their set with a "fiddle off" between Lakeman and Levellers' fiddler Jonathan Sevink. Other support tours with Billy Bragg and Jools Holland brought Lakeman's music to a wider audience.
In March 2006 Lakeman began a UK tour in order to promote his new album Freedom Fields which was released on iScream. Produced again by Sean Lakeman He signed to a new major record label, Relentless Records, promptly releasing a new single "Lady of the Sea" in early August 2006. This record went gold making it one of the biggest selling traditionally based folk records ever in the UK.
His fourth solo album, Poor Man's Heaven, was released on 30 June 2008 with an accompanying tour. It introduced a rockier edge to the folk of the previous albums. It was also the last album to be produced by Sean Lakeman and it was awarded silver levels of sales in the UK. Seth's fifth album, Hearts & Minds, was released on 19 July 2010. Produced by studio veteran Tchad Blake[5] Lakeman released his sixth album called Tales From The Barrel House on 18 November 2011. In 2014 the Word Of Mouth album was released.
Festival tours[edit]
In 2007, Lakeman performed at the SXSW festival in Texas, Hyde Park Calling, in London, the Glastonbury Festival, The V Festival in South Staffordshire, Womad Charlton Park Festival in Wiltshire, England, the Folk by the Oak Festival, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, in Alberta, Canada, the Cornbury Music Festival, Fairport's Cropredy Convention, and the Towersey Village Festival (both in Oxfordshire). He also provided support for Tori Amos on her European tour.
On 18 April 2008, Lakeman appeared with Jethro Tull on their 40th anniversary tour at Colston Hall in Bristol before the start of his own UK tour later that month and going on to tour the festival circuit through the summer. His fourth album, Poor Man's Heaven was released on 30 June 2008. It includes "Solomon Browne", a tribute to the courage of the men who lost their lives in the Penlee lifeboat disaster.[6] In August 2008, Lakeman played at the Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham, to over 18,000 people.
The festival tour continued in 2009 (with new drummer Simon Lea); with an appearance at the Bath Fringe Festival on 3 June, playing at the newly renovated Komedia venue. On 29 June they played the Glastonbury Festival's Avalon stage.
In July, he played on the acoustic stage at Chagstock 2009, and was invited back next year to the main stage. In August, he performed at Cambridge Folk Festival for the second year running and again at the Cropredy Festival, Fairport Convention's annual folk festival in Oxfordshire, headlining on the Friday night. The band also headlined at The Levellers' Beautiful Days festival on Friday 21 August and at the V Festival in Weston Park the following day. The band, now augmented by Benji Kirkpatrick, performed on the Shrewsbury Folk Festival main stage on 29 August and then at Solfest, in Cumbria, England on Sunday 30 August.
On 13 September 2009, Lakeman performed at the Harvest At Jimmy's Food & Music Festival at Jimmy's Farm, Suffolk. Lakeman has also been a regular performer at the small annual Parklife Festival in the town of Tavistock not far from his home village of Buckland Monachorum.
Lakeman played at Cornbury Festival at Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire on Sunday 4 July, and as second headline on the main stage at Chagstock 2010 on Saturday 17 July. He also played at the 2010 Tall Ships Festival on 10 July in Hartlepool, and at the Cambridge Folk Festival, also in July.
He made a return local visit to the Levellers "Beautiful Days" festival on 21 August in Devon and played as support for Runrig on their German tour, some days later. He was also the main headline on Saturday 4 September at Weyfest in Farnham, Surrey.
Lakeman again played the Cornbury Festival, closing the festival on Sunday night. He also played the boutique Sark Folk Festival in July[7] and played a sell-out performance at Gloucester Cathedral on 1 October.[8]
- In July 2005 Lakeman was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for his album Kitty Jay.[9]
- On 5 February 2007 Lakeman won Singer of the Year and Best Album awards at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.[10]
Lakeman's primary musical instruments are the violin, the tenor guitar, the banjo and the viola.
Personal life[edit]
Lakeman was married in 2012 to his longterm fiancee, Hannah Edwards, at Withiel, near Wadebridge in Cornwall. During the church service, Edwards' 90-year-old grandfather, who is a Cornish bard, read a blessing in Cornish.[11] The wedding was described by Seth's father, Geoff Lakeman, as a "mini-festival". Among the wedding guests who also made performance contributions were Cara Dillon, Steve Potter, Steve Knightley, Cormac Byrne, Patsy Reid and Mad Dog Mcrea[12]

The Cave is a platform-adventure game based around a magical cave filled with labyrinth like tunnels. The game follows three of seven choose-able characters who set out on an adventure into the cave hoping to learn something about themselves and who they might become.
If you take a hot dog from the vending machine at the beginning of the game into the Zoo level, you can take it to the Crystal Cave Monster and lure it to the bridge so it dies. That way you don't need to do the whole Zoo level or get the huntress away from the hot dog vending machine.

Jan 27, 2013, 2:06 PM EDT
The Buffalo Sabres will look to get off the schneid this afternoon against the Capitals, but they'll be doing it shorthanded.
Coach Lindy Ruff says the team's leading scorer, Thomas Vanek, will not suit up thanks to a muscle strain. Ruff says it's nothing to worry about just yet, per John Vogl of The Buffalo News.
"I anticipated really that Thomas was going to be able to play. I thought cases like this you can usually bounce back, but it's a day-to-day type situation."
How good has Vanek been so far? His nine points are more points than the Capitals have goals this season.
Meanwhile, 2012 first-round pick Mikhail Grigorenko will play today. It'll mark his fifth game this season meaning it's his last chance to prove he can stick in the NHL. Judging by the lines the team used in practice yesterday, he'll get a strong opportunity to show what he's got playing between Steve Ott and Drew Stafford.

Need to keep Grigorenko in Buffalo…he won't get any better against junior competition and the Sabres certainly need some offense. It is asking a lot of an 18-yr old but the Sabres have good veterans to help and the short season will be easier on his adaptation to the NHL
- bagjr387 - Jan 27, 2013 at 8:02 PM
Agree 100%…better than Matt Ellis or Cody McCormick IMO. Even if there is growing pains. I'd rather see him make mistakes now than in the playoffs(PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?)

Something original! This book is for anyone who has ever been curious about the many forms human sexuality can take.
I couldn't wait to read this book after I knew it had been published, and I was delighted when I was informed it would be the next book I would review. I'm a bit of a sexual adventurer, and I'm always looking for things off the beaten path to learn about and possibly enjoy. This book combined a few old favorites of mine with some brand new discoveries.
There are nine major chapters in the book, and each examines a fetish or a cluster of related fetishes. Rather than writing dry descriptions of the play, the author goes out and interviews people who do it. I really liked the fact that she let the fetishists speak for themselves most of the time. The author seems to make a real effort to find out what the attraction to the fetish is, and to pick out "favorite" scenarios. For example, she took the time to find out that around 60% of the fans of WAM (Wet and Messy) like people to be clothed while the mess is being made.
The author projects a real enthusiasm for understanding most of the fetishes she presents in the book, and rarely writes in a style that makes you feel she is negative or unkind about things.
There are TONS of illustrations and photos in this book, but my favorite are always of the people who were interviewed. I had heard of many of the people before, but SEEING them was a treat! Each chapter immerses the reader in rich images and informative sidebars featuring things like references, terminology, and equipment lists for each special interest. One of my MOST favorite things is a list of keywords that make it easy to go find more info on the internet. BRILLIANT! I haven't seen someone do that before, but I hope it catches on!
So what fetishes does the book cover?
The first fetish that is delved into is that of the "Turkey Man". I have to tell you that I think she could have done a whole chapter on this and the related "vore" fetishists. Instead, we just get a taste of this story with no interviews. That's really too bad since this was one of my favorite subjects.
Along with this introduction to the idea of "unusual" (less well known) fetish she goes over some basic concepts of alternative sexuality such as the difference between SM and abuse (such as put forth in the SM vs Abuse Policy statement drafted by the Leather Leadership Conference) and the credo of "Safe, Sane, and Consensual". This is very well done but understandably short. I hope that those who choose to pursue their sexuality take the time to do some reading and networking before venturing forth too far into uncharted waters.
After the introduction she studies Ponyplay (a form of roleplay in which someone takes on the role of a horse). I've done a lot of this play (as I talk about on my BDSM Animal Training site) and I found it fascinating to read about other people involved in it. I think she chose really good people to represent the fetish and presents a fairly wide variety of motivations involved. I was ESPECIALLY happy that she talked to Paul Reed of Equus Eroticus magazine and his pony Frisky. I'm always sad to hear people talk about how they'd love to do ponyplay but they think they can't because they aren't shaped like some impossibly thin plastic beauty queen. Frisky is a GREAT pony AND the choice of one of the more prominent players AND she is a beautiful larger woman. Another favorite part of this chapter was a very brief discussion of Shep. He isn't involved in pony play, but he gives readers a glimpse into the broader spectrum of human animal training that is not discussed or explored in this chapter otherwise. Shep roleplays as a Old English Sheepdog and can sometimes be spotted at The Other Pony Club's events. I really wish the author could have expanded on that theme a bit and talked about human puppies, human pigs, and other variations but she does do a brilliant job with the ponies. Perhaps in her next book or on her web site at Deviant Desires we'll see more in the future? I hope so! A special perk of this chapter is that it comes with The Other Pony Club's Ponyplay Logbook form (a type of a pony negotiation tool).
A favorite chapter of mine comes next, the Balloon Fetish folk! Looners (as they sometimes self-label) are fascinating to me. I first heard about them through my partner who had experiences with the looner version of cyber sex, I had been puzzled by his account of explaining to a woman in great detail how he was going to pop some balloons. I was somewhat jealous that he had gotten to be involved in something I hadn't ever experienced, nothing irks me like finding out I'm missing out on something! haha I've never really gotten the motivation of people who are into the blowing up, popping, fucking, pressing, or bouncing on balloons but after reading this chapter I not only GET it but want to TRY it. I finally get what they were seeing in those pictures of people popping balloons! I think it is wonderful when an author not only explores a topic but can give you such a clear understanding of motivations that you go from someone who is observing to someone who is suddenly understanding. She seems to touch base with a lot of the main folk in looner land such as Buster Steve and a lot of people that hang out at Balloon Buddies.
Moving on, the next chapter explores how Violet Beauregarde, the bratty gum chewer in the movie Willie Wonka became a patron saint to a certain group of fetishists. Remember how she chewed the gum when she wasn't supposed to and she blew up like a balloon? Well, welcome to the wonderful world of Body Inflation fetish! The author shows a pretty great variety, from those that completely indulge the fetish through artwork or verbal fantasy to those that buy intricate latex devices and fill them with air to watch themselves "grow". I've worn an inflatable hood before, and done some general inflatables type play but hadn't really thought much about the "growth" aspect of it before. To me, it was just bondage and/or breathplay. It was fun to consider it from another perspective! I think that I found the BigNoseGuy (his site is the Big Nose Appreciation Page) the most fascinating of all of the fetishists in this chapter though. He basically has a collection of morphed pictures that have women with incredibly long noses. I'm still trying to figure that one out, but I'm curious and delighted that such variety exists. Isn't it great to know there is so much variation in human experience? Another really interesting person interviewed is Inflate123. I could identify with his experiments in latex inflatables. He brings up challenges about that kink that a lot of folks may never have thought of, and I'm sure anyone with a latex fetish will find his interview fascinating. His experiences with different inflatables might prove a real money saver if you take the time to read what worked and what didn't!
The next chapter continues on the subject of growth, and looks at Macro fetish (sexual fantasies about REALLY giant human beings). I found Ron H.'s collages for Black Giantess magazine (Black Giantess Magazine c/o Ron H., PO Box 7711, Fredericksburg, VA 22401) incredibly fascinating. On top of being visually interesting, he says his artwork expresses his political views. I would have loved to have heard more about that. He talked about how he feels black women's feet (especially the bottoms of their feet) are never seen in magazines. I never thought of it before, but I think he is right. I don't believe that is an image that is often seen in print media or TV, and I really don't know why since it is such an erotic sight (at least for some of us that like feet). I think it was fun to contrast his motivations and visions with those of the more commercial Ed Lundt who publishes Giantess Magazine. Ed Lundt's humorous accounts of the demanding readership of his magazine made me laugh, and should be something that any publisher of adult content should be able to identify with!
Included in the Macro chapter is the Trample genre. I hadn't necessarily identified trample fetish with Macro fetish before, but I found that there were some very logical tie ins. The author seems to get most of her trample info from Queen Adrena, and even includes a bit of "Queen Adrena's Trampling Safety Tips". Apparently some of the most popular zones to trample are the chest, tummy, solar plexus, face, nose, crotch, and throat. All I can say to that is that I hope before attempting any of these things people go out and get an education on human anatomy. It may be fun to have someone stand on your chest, but if they put a heel down improperly on top of your xiphoid process (the small cartilaginous sword shaped lower portion of the sternum) you are not going to be having a good day. I don't want to discourage anyone, I just hope people are educating themselves on risks before going out and trying this one at home! Queen Adrena confides in this chapter that she's accidentally broken a man's ribs before, so be careful out there!
From Trample fetish we move on to Crush freaks. According to The American Journal of the Crush Freaks Vol. One erotic talk that could inspire a crush freak lover includes phrases like, "I'm going to squish you slowly, pressing down a little at a time, so I can feel your guts squish out." (I'm not sure this Journal is still available but it used to be ordered by contacting folks at The American Journal of the Crush Freaks, PO Box 946, Bellflower, CA 90707-0946)
To get into the minds of Crush freaks she sought out the grand daddy of them, Jeff Vilencia. I think she was a little hard on Jeff at times, but I could understand her issues with writing about this topic.
One of the hallmarks of a healthy pervert is the consensual nature of what we do. SOME crush freaks kill animals, bugs, or other creatures during their play (and somehow I don't think they signed any model release forms or negotiated for their snuff scene).
That said, I've always found it interesting when looking at my OWN reaction to this fetish that there is a hypocrisy involved in some of my moral indignation at some scenes.
If a spider is in my house, I squish it. I don't ask it if it wants to be murdered, I just WHAP it a good one. Why would I feel moral indignation if someone decides to take a photo of their foot squishing the spider? Why are they any more "dangerous" in their motivations than I am?
Then of course, beyond that question is one of the oldest of human quandaries. When is it okay to take a life? What guidelines do each of us use to make distinctions between higher and lower life forms? Many of us would feel fine killing the slugs in our gardens but wouldn't feel good killing a puppy, what is behind our value of one life above another?
Most of us are involved (in one way or the other) with the nonconsensual killing, torture, or abuse of other forms of life unless we happen to avoid any products that are tested on animals, are vegetarian, never use pesticides, and never wear any animal skin or fur. Even those of us that do refrain from all those things might bungle through a field of grass and step on countless bugs that won't live to see tomorrow. One might argue quite easily that vegetation deserves to live also, so the act of eating IT is also taking a life or at least severely pestering it.
Is it LIFE we value... or INTELLECT... or EMOTION?
There are a lot of uncomfortable feelings raised when someone wrestles with the moral question of exactly when harm is "okay" or "not okay". I think that is why this fetish really pushes a lot of buttons for people, both the negative and the positive.
I think that in light of the major issues involved in this kink, the author does an admirable job of presenting things and expressing her personal emotions while admitting that there may be some hypocrisy.
After that chapter we are ready for some comic relief, and we get that in the Messy chapter! Now, before you think I'm being flip and disrespectful by calling it "comic relief" you have to understand that a large element of WAM (Wet and Messy) for some people is slapstick. If you take a look at some of the pictures in Splosh! magazine you are going to be treated to many images of women with big smiles on their faces engaged in stuff that they think is exciting silly fun! Some good sites that I didn't see mentioned in her book that I thought I'd share with readers here are the Ultimate Messy Directory and Shokolada's Mess. You could also add the term "gunge" and "foodplay" to the keywords she mentions.
I was left wondering if the piesexual "Pieface Mike" had a web page, but after some digging I haven't found one yet. I hope he gets one, since I think it would be popular!
I kind of question the inclusion of a sidebar on Adult Babies and the group
Here is where we get to the surprise section of the book for this reader! I
hadn't heard of Clown Fetish before, or the adorable and interesting Ducky Doolittle AKA Knockers the Clown. There is a
brief discussion of cake sitting and clown sex that really made me curious
to find out more.
The next section goes back to controversial topics, but I think treats the
subject matter very well. I'd have to say Hanne Blank's Big Big
Love and this book are the best introductory resources or discussions
about Fat Admirers and Feeders I've read. They take VERY different
approaches with the subject and I hope that people read both for the
balance. I think Hanne does a more thorough job of showing the difference
between Fat Admirer culture and Feeder culture, but Katherine Gates explores
the Feeder concept in a much more in depth fashion and interviews some of
the women who enjoy being fed and gaining weight. The Feeder and Gainer
culture (where the goal is to feed a partner or be fed by a partner so that
there is significant weight gain) is a real controversial topic in fat
activism, and it was refreshing to see it talked about so openly in this
Next, the author moves on to highlight a particular artist rather than the
fetish he is famous for. His name is Romain Slocombe, and he is famous for
producing art like Tristes Vacances (Sad Vacations) and the book Broken
Dolls. If you were to look at the title of a Slocombe piece you'd learn
volumes from, "Hematoma of left jaw with fracture of left suprarobital
ridge." Basically, his pictures are of Japanese women wrapped in bandages,
casts, or other medical gear. They sometimes look a little worse for wear
(some light marks or scratches shown in the paintings) but they are
generally shown after they have been bundled up and cleaned off. His
photography (from what I've seen of it) generally appears to have very
healthy young Japanese women bundled up in bandages and medical equipment
(with none of the telltale signs of marks that appear in the paintings). I
don't know why the author decided on focusing in on one specific artist
rather than the broader categories of Medical Fetish and Cast Fetish, but it
is a fascinating (if short) read. I guess I'm just greedy, I have fun
reading about this stuff and it was sad to see there was such a short
section on it. Those that have more of a general interest in medical fetish
stuff might enjoy some of the FAQs and info found on the commercial site MedicalToys.com.
The last chapter is a great journey through a lot of different kinks
including Slash Fiction, erotic Science Fiction, Furverts, Plushie lovers,
dollers, and robot fetish. I think these really could have been separate
chapters, and I was sort of confused at them being lumped together. Then
again, I enjoy many of the above and tend to lump my interests into "Geek
sex" so perhaps it does make sense after all! Haha
I enjoyed the brief glimpses of each though, and do think it is a nice
jumping off point for someone who doesn't know how to start looking into any
of these fetishes. If you'd like to explore these topics I suggest the Slash Fan
Fiction Ring, Circlet Press, PeterCat's Furry
InfoPage, Alt.sex.plushies
FAQ, Alt.sex.fetish.robots, Living Doll House, and Maskon.com.
At the end of the book the author does something I haven't seen anyone do
before, she "maps" out the fetishes. It is sort of a flow chart showing
what fetishes seem to overlap or relate to each other. That was an
interesting feature that some might find helpful. There is a limited
bibliography at the end, but I'm afraid that it includes Brenda Love's
"Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices" and that gets her two demerits! I
can't stand that book! If you can read that thing as a fetishist and not get
infuriated, all I can say is you are a better sport than I am.
Who would I not recommend this book to?
If you are looking for erotic materials or advanced how-to information you
may be served better elsewhere. The book has a fairly heavy heterosexual
slant, but I think that won't bother most people in this case. When
pansexual materials are available the author is quick to offer them up.
Who would I recommend this book to?
It is an EXCELLENT book if you want a broad overview of some sections of the
fetish community and the resources to explore further on your own.
For those who have more than a passing interest in fetish, the most valuable
thing about the book is the interviews. I just couldn't get enough of those!
I think kink is usually best described by the people who practice it (in my
prejudiced kinky opinion) and I'm more interested as a reader in finding out
about the people involved than in some sort of half baked theory as to the
"cause" of it all. I was happy that most of the time Katherine Gates leaves
any theorizing to the people themselves. When she steps away from that and
comes up with Freudian explanations for things like Looners, she still isn't
as bad as Brenda
Love. In fact, she is rather thought provoking and interesting.
I genuinely enjoyed this book and found that it opened my mind to some new
forms of enjoyment. I can't wait to see her next book, and I will be
checking her EXCELLENT website at Deviant Desires. She is growing a
real unique resource over there, and I feel really happy that someone is
putting the elbow grease into such a project.
All in all a very fascinating read!

Bestselling bodies: mourning, melancholia and the female forensic pathologist
Hanson, Clare (2008) Bestselling bodies: mourning, melancholia and the female forensic pathologist. [in special issue: Contemporary Women's Writing] Women: a Cultural Review, 19, (1), 87-100. (doi:10.1080/09574040801920011).
Full text not available from this repository.
This article analyses the significance of a relatively new branch of crime fiction which centres on the figure of the female forensic pathologist. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, it suggests that the exploration of a particular kind of melancholia is at the heart of this fiction. For Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok, mourning depends on the recognition and articulation of loss, whereas melancholia results from a refusal to mourn loss or even acknowledge that there has been anything to lose.The lost object is consequently 'incorporated' into the body, although it remains within the realm of the symbolic order. For Julia Kristeva, by contrast, melancholia is associated not only with disavowal, but with a literalisation of loss on or in the body. For her, melancholia is associated with unsymbolisable affect: the lost object is experienced as a dead or deadening part of the body. Kristeval also links female melancholia with the abjection of the mother which is, according to her, a precondition for the acquisition of female heterosexual identity. She suggests that this abjection or 'matricide' is always precarious and never complete, and that the hetersexual female subject never loses the trace of her desire for the lost mother - desire which is experienced affectively as melancholia. It is argued here that 'post-mortem fiction' explores such buried psychic structures via the encounter between the female pathologist and female corpse which is often at its centre, and through its detailed mapping of scenes imbued with the affective traces of trauma and loss.

Props to akg, whose bountiful supply of tapes made this recap possible.
A really phallic ship moves across the right side of the screen. Enterprise moves across the left side. A red alert is sounded. We know this because of, well, the noise, the Knox block flashing on someone's console, and the BIG HUGE SIGN on the wall telling us, "Condition ALERT." I've never seen that sign before, how funny. Sulu presses buttons as a viewer slowly deploys itself up on legs. Cool! Kirk just stares out at the phallus, not betraying any fear. There's whole lot of staring and no real dialogue in these first few seconds. Kirk walks by Sulu and Chekov. Sulu gives him a report on their weapons, Chekov on their range to the vessel. Kirk ignores them and asks Spock what dirt he has on the S.S. Penis. Spock doesn't have much, but comments that the ship is of "unique technology." Uhura isn't having any real luck either. Kirk magnifies the phallus. The viewscreen trembles as though it were a pond being disturbed, and the ship is brought in slightly closer. Kirk asks what Scotty makes of the ship. "Beats me, but isn't she a beauty?" Scotty croons. "Beats me"? Oh, dear. "Interesting design," Kirk adds. I agree, now where have I seen something like that before? Scotty says he hasn't seen anything like her, but crows over the fact that the S.S. Penis uses ion propulsion, and thinks "they" could teach Enterprise a thing or two. On life signs, Spock reports a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and only one life sign. Spock notes that the humanoid seems to be beaming to their bridge. Kirk orders up security. A woman beams on to the bridge looking like a flat, green Colorform. Remember Colorforms? I loved those. The soft violins of She's A Hot Chick In Skimpy Attire So She's No Real Danger plays. She is in skimpy attire, the music doesn't lie! She's wearing a metallic lavender mini-dress with dark purple fuck-me boots held up by garters going I don't know where. She smiles at everyone. Spock raises an eyebrow. Kirk introduces himself. Security arrives, but the Hot Chick In Skimpy Attire presses a button on her watch and there's a boi-oi-oi-ng, after which the lights go out and people fall down. She keeps pressing the boi-oi-oing button until we get the idea that the whole ship is knocked out. She smiles widely and walks across the bridge, pauses for a moment at Kirk's chair, but ultimately passes him by for Spock. Girl has taste. She puts her hand on Spock's head.

HUGHES, (JAMES) LANGSTON (1 Feb. 1902-22 May 1967), black poet, playwright, novelist, and lecturer, was born in Joplin, Mo. to James Nathaniel and Carrie M. (Langston) Hughes. He moved to Cleveland in 1916, and began writing seriously while a student at CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, where his efforts were encouraged by teachers and RUSSELL† and ROWENA JELLIFFE† of Playhouse Settlement (see KARAMU HOUSE). His first stories appeared in The Monthly literature journal published by Central High School. Hughes attended Columbia University for a year, but dropped out to travel, working his way through Spain, France, Italy, and Africa. Hughes's first poem, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," was published in The Crisis, the organ of the NAACP, in 1921. In 1922 he moved to Harlem, becoming a member of the Harlem Renaissance. Following publication of The Weary Blues in 1926, Hughes wrote Fine Clothes to the Jew in 1927. Awarded a full scholarship for his poetry by Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Hughes received his B.A. In 1930 he published his first novel, Not without Laughter, followed by Scottsboro Limited (1932) and The Ways of White Folks (1934). He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1935. In 1936-37, the Gilpin Players of Karamu House produced 6 of Hughes's plays. In 1939 he established the Negro Theater in Los Angeles and wrote a filmscript, "Way Down South." Hughes produced 8 volumes of poetry, 4 of fiction, 6 books for young people, 3 humorous works, 2 autobiographies, a number of plays and essays, and several volumes on black history. He was a noted lecturer and a foremost figure in the movement for black civil rights and the search for black identity. Unmarried, Hughes died in New York City.
