It's not often I need to use FTP but when I do I use FileZilla and it's always a trouble-free experience. As a medium technical person, that says a lot for the software. Easy to set up and use, even if you're not deeply into FTP day-to-day.

Make sure you get the real installer and not the malware that;s somehow downloading for a lot of people. This crazy installer/malware is 730kB in size and not the REAL file. However, if you go to sourceforge and browse the files or use "Direct download" under the Bigger green button you obtain the REAL file. This happened to me for both the client and the server installation files. The software obtained with the REAL non-malware installer works great.
must have for web developer :)
Sourceforge, this is ridiculous! You wrap legitimate software in your malware laced installer! This software can be downloaded without the installer though. Either hit the tiny direct download box below the big green button, or go to Browse All Files -> FileZilla_Client -> x.xx.x -> then click the Direct Download Link, and turn it to On. Then select your file, and away you go. Filezilla gets the 5 Star review, Sourceforge get a 0 star for wrapping legitimate software with its malware installer!
Reliable consistent performance across platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS). SFTP and site management integrated nicely. Be careful with Window installs! Read before you click.
Be very extremely careful when you download from Sourceforge. The 'Download Filezilla' seems to have a man in the middle attack. It looks exactly as a legitimately download, but when I check the MD5 of the file is not the same. I had to go to the Filezilla download page and select 'others' to properly download the file. I had to do it at least three times until I figured out how to download the correct file. Always check the MD5 against the site. Do not trust the download icon. If it does not download immediately don't trust it. You may be getting a trojan horse instead. In Windows you can find out the MD5 with fciv utility.
Stupid morons who yell about malware, what place you think? You fucking do not distinguish advertising from Google button download programs? Yes, via Google advertising spread malware. I swear, like children, like adults, have been able to create here, but that's where the stick and do not know. The program is excellent, the best FTP client in the world! the most reliable! Updated regularly!
very useful project
FileZilla was, and will continue to be an excellent ftp client. WITH A WARNING.. DON'T DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE "INSTALLER ENABLED" Version. Download from the Direct Download link only. The Installer Enabled version is packed with malware that required several scans to get rid of. MalwareBytes identified them as Binkiland and FactFire, but tomorrow it could be different malware......... It is easy to identify the Installer Enabled Version. It is the big Green button (should be Red with a CAUTION attached) and it's a small file, under 1kb......... The "Direct Download" link is immediately below the green button and when it starts, you will see it is about 6mb. INSTALL THIS "DIRECT DOWNLOAD" only. It is 100% safe, however if you still have concerns, have VirusTotal scan it for you......... I'm giving it 5 stars because the core program continues to be excellent. Just heed these warnings and exercise caution when selecting your download and install.
Excelent piece of software
Best for windows.
WTF, sf? FileZilla is excellent software. Like nearly everyone that wasn't born yesterday, I skip/decline crapware offered during installation and go about my business. I don't fault developers. After all, folks like Tim Kosse invest countless and too often thankless (and likely un[der]paid) hours on the software they produce. If they get a return from the crapware makers, I'm delighted. But when installer wrappers foist crapware on users at the expense of actually doing their job (installing software), I get pissed. I had an infrequently-used older version of FileZilla on a Mac and wanted to update it to the latest available. I didn't trash the installed, dormant FileZilla application before running the sf installer. After skipping through the crapware screens, the installer downloaded FileZilla proper and supposedly installed it (it said installation succeeded). But it was nowhere to be found in Applications (the old FileZilla was gone, however). I thought maybe it failed because I hadn't first removed the old one, so ran the installer again and let it do its thing. Again it falsely claimed success. I gave up and headed over to MajorGeeks. Downloaded the FileZilla application (as a bz2 archive), expanded the application and copied to the Applications directory. The rating I'm leaving here indicates my degrees of pleasure with FileZilla and displeasure with the sf installer. So where you see 5 stars, that indicates perfection for FileZilla and perfection of stupidity for the sf installer.
Very nice, easy to use FTP client.
This is the only FTP software I will use! Ignore the comments complaining that is is full of adware and such, it is NOT! The FileZilla installation file and the program are adware, malware and virus free. What the majority of other reviewers don't realise is to download FileZilla (or any other programs off this site) you have to use their "Download Manager" which is bundled with other rubbish to help pay for the service. This is NOT forced on you and you can easily click on the "Decline" buttons to stop it installing stuff. Once you've done this the Download Manager will then download the actual program you requested. Can people only review the program and not the actual installer that SourceForge force you to use in the future. It gives brilliant programs a bad name!
Wonderful program.
could not live without it!
Excellent for managing FTP transfert!
awesome work, thank you guys!
I use this to mass download files from the net! Gmail Cracker > www.PASSWORDCRACKER.me <
If you want to download it from SourceForge, make sure the URL ends with "/download?nowrap" so you do not get the bundled adware. You can get this ad free version by going to filezilla-project.org, clicking on the Download link for the version you want (client or server), clicking "Show additional download options", and selecting the version you want. You can also browse the files in the SourceForge project, but make sure you have "Direct Download Link: On". If it is off then click it to toggle. Then click on the link for the file you want (checking that it ends with "/download?nowrap" so you do not get the adware.
Filezilla is a very good software for FTP function. It is absolutely reliable and clean. Only it is necessary to download it from a "safe website" and to download directly the software (about 6 Mbybyes) and NOT to download a 'downloader' which install filezilla but installa also many bad adware & C. In my website you will download pure filezilla setup: fabrizioviscardi.it/fabrizio_viscardi_utilita_windows_mac_linux_rete_filezilla.php?vers=18.104.22.168 (last version - virus checked). In this website, remember, in every case, to search the link "Direct download" and not the green button "Download" !!
the new installer is annoying
Provides everything I've ever needed from an FTP application.
FileZilla is really very good Application and it's very easy to use and they even provide excellent support. bighits4u.com
Be sure to use the "Direct Download" link which provides the full Filezilla installation files, and no adware. Avoid the "Download, installer enabled" link - which uses a download manager which gives two Adware options you need to "Decline" and are easy to miss if not paying a lot of attention.

Yeah, the GPU (well, actually it's not a GPU in the traditional sense) in the PS2 is custom designed by Sony. It's nothing like any regular graphics card on the market, it's quite customisable but VERY hard to program for. In the PS2 the GPU and CPU are really the same thing, which is in a way kinda good because then there aren't seperate bottlenecks in the console, however since it isn't specifically designed for any particular feature and relies on essentially the same processor to handle everything from AI to surfacing effects, it can get bogged down pretty easilly in a game scenario, which is by far it's biggest fault.

Actually, that's pretty much what they did with the Xbox 1 (not to mention a harddrive, mobo/CPU, and ram). When the Xbox 1 was released, the Geforce 3 (the graphics card that the Xbox's was based on) was still $300, and the variant in the Xbox had a GPU clocked faster than a ti500 and with an extra vertex shader like the GF4 has. It's definatly not unreasonable to think that their next console will have a graphics processor that's equal or better to what's availible on the PC market, but at a much lower price (remember, MS buys things at wholesale price whereas consumer graphics cards are sold with a large markup). MS was willing to take the $100 loss on every Xbox they sell because they knew they would be able to make it up in software sales and lisencing, and it's not unreasonable to think that they'll do the same with the Xbox 2. I remember when the Xbox was first released, someone made a thead here that said something like "Why does a $300 console have a video card better than my $300 Geforce 3?"
As far as cooling and noise go, MS has learned a lot from the Xbox. The early Xboxes had a seperate GPU fan, and the DVD drives were quite noisy. Later on they were able to remove the GPU fan entirely and replace it with a large-sized heatsync (which greatly cut down on noise), and the DVD drives were replaces with quieter, more reliable ones. Hell, they even removed the metal outer frame from the Xbox interior, which reduced the weight of the console by several pounds (it wasn't really needed, since any blow that's powerful enough to crack the plastic casing would likely break the internal components from vibration alone). This time MS is focusing on efficiency, I think Gamecube and even the PStwo is a very good example of an efficient console. Amazing that something that's 1/6th the size of a PC tower and makes practically no noise is able to put out graphics like Rogue Leader and Resident Evil 4. It's not how big it is, but how you use it that counts
Oh my, I really do like to talk about graphics cards, don't I? Well, At least on this board I don't feel like I'm alone

DorobekInsider: GSA's O'Hare to replace Johnson as ITS Assistant Commissioner
Monday - 3/30/2009, 12:26pm EDT
We've been telling you about the departure of GSA's John Johnson.
There is now a replacement: GSA's Ed O'Hare will become the new Assistant Commissioner for the Federal Acquisition Service's Integrated Technology Services, which oversees some of the government's biggest and most important contracts including the GSA schedule contracts, GSA's governmentwide telecommunications contracts such as Networx , and GSA's governmentwide acquisition vehicles , including the just announced Alliant.
A number of other changes detailed in a memo from GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Jim Williams:
After 33 years of federal service, John Johnson, Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Integrated Technology Services (ITS), has decided to retire effective May 2, 2009. We here atFAS will miss him greatly.
While John's retirement leaves large shoes to fill, I am grateful that several FAS leaders have agreed to help FAS and ITS transition to its next phase. Effective May 2, 2009, the following leadership changes will occur:
Edward J. O'Hare, the present FAS Chief Information Officer (CIO), will become the ITS Assistant Commissioner; Elizabeth F. DelNegro, the Acting Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Strategic Business Planning and Process Improvement (QP), will become the Acting FAS Chief Information Officer; and Amanda G. Fredriksen, Deputy Assistant Commissioner for the Office of General Supplies and Services (QS) will become the Acting Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Strategic Business Planning and Process Improvement. Amanda will also continue her work as the primaryFAS leader working with PBS on FAS support to PBS's $5.5 billion portion of the Recovery Act. Joe Jeu will fulfill the duties of the Assistant Commissioner and Deputy Assistant Commissioner until such time as an acting person is named to fill behind Amanda.
Ed, Liz, Amanda and Joe's extensive GSA and FAS knowledge and expertise will help ensure a seamless transition, continued full support to FAS' Recovery Act roles and support to President Obama's new IT initiatives. I am extremely confident of their abilities to successfully lead and manage these organizations but also appreciate your support of these leaders in their new positions.

School taxes not equitable for those with no childrenCounty, city, state and federal agencies operating under government monies, paid by the citizens of the U.S.A. should be held liable for the blatant abuse of our human civil and constitutional rights. By knowingly allowing county or other government to force its citizens to pay for someone else child's education in the form of taxes or otherwise. Under the constitution we are guaranteed representation for taxation. Nowhere is it said we can be forced through loss of our property to pay for someone else child's education. Seems to be a lack of representation. Especially after we turn 65 and have taken care of our own all these years and now have a hard enough time supporting ourselves. How can this not be a violation of our rights? These governments should be held liable for these acts. For example: John Doe makes over $3,000 a month and has six kids but because he rents he pays no school tax. I'm retired, partially disabled and on a set income of $1,300 a month. My reward for all the assistance I gave my government and for owning my own home is to be forced to pay $100 out of my $1,300 to pay for someone else's childs education. Although I have none of my own in school. And, especially be aware if you're represented like I am in Barrow County. I was told my city tax was locked in for at least the next 10 years yet mysteriously my property portion was raised 200 percent this year alone. This is on useless property that is in a flood area and floods out when it rains hard. This raised my taxes almost another $300. Fixed incomes can't take much of this. Yes, these are the same representatives who allowed some fat cats to get fatter to the tune of almost half a million dollars in the name of religion supposedly. Is this taxation or actually extortion? It seems Al Capone got away with something similar for a good while before he finally went to prison. I'm sure if I forced someone to give me money by threatening to take something from them if they didn't, I would be in jail. -- John Mazarous Winder

Brillantes threatens to file raps vs critics
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Unperturbed by allegations of massive glitches, Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. on Thursday said he would file charges against his critics, insisting that Monday's automated balloting was "one of the best elections" in the country's history.
"Those people who keep on blabbering but know nothing, they are the ones I'm going to charge. All of them," Brillantes said in a press briefing.
Asked whom he would take to court, he replied, "After the elections, after the proclamations."
Former Comelec Commissioner Gus Lagman, an information technology expert and one of the outspoken Comelec critics, said Brillantes should just step aside.
"I thought critics were allowed in a democracy. He doesn't want to be criticized, then he should move to another country," Lagman said. "Or, much simpler, maybe he should make good on his threat of resigning his post."
Brillantes admitted that the Comelec had problems. "If there are no glitches and deficiencies, then the elections here are like heaven," he said.
"It's not perfect. There are deficiencies. There are defects and there are some irregularities … but compared to the past elections before 2013, this should be one of the best elections that we ever had," he added.
The Comelec chief said Smartmatic also had its faults. "They are not saints. Of course, they will make mistakes. Even us, we also had a lot of errors. Even you, the media, had more errors. Why are you looking for errors? Why don't you look for those that turned out right?"
Quick count
Brillantes said the quick count of partial unofficial election returns yielded by the transparency server, which the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting and the media were using, was not the same as the official canvassing of votes under a "ladderized," or tiered, system by the national board of canvassers (NBOC).
"It's only natural that [the official canvassing] has to be slower because it goes through stages," he told reporters at the Philippine International Convention Center, where the official canvassing was being held.
Brillantes clarified that the signal problem only affected the direct transmission to the transparency server.
"But the signal problem will not affect the NBOC's canvassing because we have contingency measures there," he said. "If there can't be a transmission, we will bring the CF (compact flash) cards to the NBOC." The CF cards, or memory cards, contain data on votes cast.
"The official [canvassing] is different from the [results from the] transparency server. The transparency server might still be missing the 30 percent of the vote, but with the NBOC, the gap is not as big," he said without elaborating.
Asked about the possibility of a switching of CF cards, Brillantes said: "Those with dirty minds will think that way. But the watchers are all there. What CF-card switching? Here we go again. We go back to the outsiders full of doubts and speculations."
Watchdogs around
The Comelec chief noted the presence of watchdogs, including the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections, in the canvassing places.
Brillantes said the Comelec would hold the technical provider, Smartmatic International, accountable for any error. "We have a contract with them, but so far I have not seen any errors," he said.
In an interview on Wednesday night, Smartmatic Asia president Cesar Flores said the canvassing was on schedule.
He stressed that the slowdown in the releasing of results from the transparency server was caused by a number of factors, including weak signals in the provinces and the fact that some precincts stopped or failed to transmit to the server after transmitting the returns to the municipal board of canvassers.
Flores said the Comelec and Smartmatic were not even legally bound to have the transparency server yield 100 percent of the vote, since the only official results would emanate from the ladderized system of canvassing.
"The official basis of canvassing and proclamations is what comes up the ladderized transmission from the municipality, then province, then finally the NBOC," he said.
Natural bottleneck
Flores said the bottleneck at the municipal and the provincial levels of the official canvassing was caused by a variety of reasons, including the alleged refusal of the boards of election inspectors in some areas to lower the threshold of the percentage of votes for local positions, which the Comelec has allowed.
"We're talking 7,800 PCOS right, then we're talking 1,630 municipalities [and cities], and we're talking 81 provinces, so there is a natural bottleneck. [For example] this municipality would have to wait for 2,000 PCOS before they can transmit to the provincial [board of canvassers]," Flores said.
A weak signal is also another factor, although the Comelec has employed contingencies, including the use of satellite antennas for the transmission to the NBOC, he said.
"You have a precinct which is 12 hours away, which has no coverage. They have to wait for a car to arrive. So all these things happen. Even though you can see 1,800 precincts, this municipal board of canvassers still needs to wait until they can proclaim their mayor and vice mayor," he said.
Flores insisted that he had observed "no major technical problems" with the hardware, including the CF cards.
"This is the way canvassing is by law. There could be hardware problems, but you don't know if it's impacting … it depends on every municipality. But it's not about hardware or anything like that. It's about the system," he said.

k-os & Drake Show Some "Faith" (Listen & Download)Posted by Nathan S. on 08/10/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Drake, k-os
That's why if I knew that I said k-os had a new mixtape not nearly as many people would click as if I said k-os has a new track with Drake called "Faith", even with a title like "The Anchorman Mixtape". * Eleven o'clock news * In addition to the aforementioned Drizzy collab, which by the way if dope, "Anchorman" mixtape includes numerous samples from Will Ferrel's classic comedy flick ("Why don't you go back to your home on whore island!") and, of course, some creatively driven hip-hop/soul/retro-r&b/whatever label you can think of for k-os.
Those of you who refuse to listen to anything non-Aubrey Graham associated can download the single track below, but I highly recommend checking out the whole project. Let k-os ensue.
Download "Faith" Directly
Download "Anchorman Mixtape" via MediaFire
Besides "Faith", listen to one of the mixtape's standout tracks, "Beauty is a Loaded Gun", right now below. And as long as we're here, what's your favorite "Anchorman" quote? In addition to the "whore island" above, my starting five would include "Baxter, you know I don't speak Spanish", "My arms are tired from doing so many" and, of course, "Wow, that really got out of hand fast."

Orange County's largest public employee group gave more than $80,000 in political contributions that went largely unidentified as union money because it was channeled through third-party committees.
State law requires political action committees that receive more than 80 percent of their funds from a single source to identify that source in their name.
The Orange County Employees Association contributed the first $75,000 to establish the California Citizens for Fair Government PAC, and provided 81 percent of the PAC's funding over its three-year lifetime, according to an Orange County Register analysis of campaign finance records. CCFG then gave its remaining $42,500 to launch a PAC with similar initials, California Citizens Fighting Government Waste.
CCFG has never identified OCEA as its sponsor. On Tuesday, following an interview with the Register, CCFGW's treasurer updated his committee's information to disclose that it was sponsored by CCFG.
CCFG contributed money in 2010 to county Supervisor Janet Nguyen and her political allies Tony Lam, who was running for Midway Sanitary District, and Matthew Harper, who was running for Huntington Beach City Council, according to campaign finance records. CCFGW's only donation to a political committee was an $1,800 donation in December 2012 to Nguyen's campaign for supervisor, records show.
"There definitely seems to be something awry here in terms of disclosure of who is actually putting the vast majority of the money into these committees," said Phillip Ung, policy advocate for California Common Cause, a nonprofit that advocates for government accountability.
"We think this case is subject to (a Fair Political Practices Commission) investigation. That being said, we are not saying that there is a violation, but there needs to be a closer look by the agency at the activities of this committee and related committees."
OCEA general counsel Don Drozd said Wednesday that he didn't recall specifics, but he suspected that someone approached OCEA to contribute to CCFG to support Nguyen. He didn't know who approached OCEA, but he was confident it wasn't Nguyen.
Drozd said OCEA had no control over – or further interest in – how the PAC spent the money. He said he checked with the treasurer of the OCEA PAC that funded CCFG and confirmed that OCEA had nothing to do with creating CCFG or deciding how CCFG should spend its money.
Chris Anderson, CCFG treasurer and CCFGW principal officer, wrote in an email Wednesday that he founded CCFG on his own to help elect candidates who would govern fairly. He said OCEA was not involved in the CCFG's operations or spending decisions.
Anderson has been a part-time employee of Nguyen since 2010, Nguyen wrote in an email Wednesday.
"I did not communicate with him (Anderson) regarding how the PAC chose to spend its money," Nguyen wrote.
David Bauer, treasurer of CCFGW, is Nguyen's campaign treasurer.
Accepting campaign contributions directly from unions has become increasingly risky – and less common – for Republican candidates. In January 2010, county GOP Chairman Scott Baugh announced that the party would no longer endorse Republicans who took union money, an edict popularly known as the "Baugh Manifesto."
Nguyen, who has been endorsed by the county GOP in recent bids for office, accepted $1,700 – the maximum contribution at the time – from an OCEA PAC in 2009 to support her 2012 run for county supervisor, according to campaign finance disclosure reports.

All summer long, I'll be running a series of guest posts here on the blog called "Smokin' Hot Conversations." These will be posts about gender, relationships, power, and the church, meant to move us to deeper reflection and conversation about the often distracting or harmful messages in Christian culture. Elizabeth Morrow joins us this week with a post about modesty messages in the church, which often become harmful and may even perpetuate rape culture. She's a style blogger from Tacoma, WA, and she also does graphic design and photography. Learn more about her here.
And if you'd like to contribute to this series, drop me a line.
A style blogger navigates the waters of modesty, rape culture, and responsibility. For real, you guys.
Elizabeth Morrow
Lately the concept of modesty has been on my mind. Between current events like the Stubenville rape case and pieces like Zach's Smokin' Hot Wives post, and the stories of countless women experiencing rape culture and objectification, modesty is a concept that seems to be subtly at the center of things.
I don't think about modesty on a daily basis these days, as modesty isn't something I strive for when I'm getting dressed, but the idea of modest dressing seems to be brought up whenever the topic of rape is brought up. How much cleavage was showing? Was her skirt long enough? Were here heels too high?
When I was in high school modesty was something I thought about a lot more. Going to a Christian school, the dress code was a frequent topic of conversation. It was pretty lax, not really too much more strict than any of the public high schools – we didn't have to wear uniforms or slacks and turtlenecks or anything. And, let's be honest, living in Alaska it wasn't really that hard to abide by it. There was no way in hell I was going to try and wear a mini skirt and tube top when the weather outside was below zero. There were a few girls who tended to dress more in that mode, however, and would have to change their outfits at school to fit the code.
But ever since the days of the code, thoughts about modesty have at least been percolating in the back of my mind. And, more and more I'm coming to believe that modesty, as a value, can be particularly harmful to women for many reasons. This isn't to say that modesty is inherently bad – but handled poorly it can leave women saddled with deep shame.
Getting dressed, stumbling brothers, and sexual beasts.
High school is such a strange time to navigate the waters of understanding beauty, love, sexuality, and relationships, and yet, that's exactly when we start learning about it all. In high school I wouldn't wear makeup. I didn't want a boy to like me because of my make-upped appearance, only to be disappointed by my bare face. When I went to college I started becoming more creative in the way I dressed, and started wearing some makeup. Not because I figured it would make me more apt to land a man, but because I liked wearing it. It made me feel beautiful, not for men, not for women, but for me. I didn't care if an outfit was immodest to some because I wasn't dressing for anybody but myself. Getting dressed made me feel creative and happy. It was a way to express my personality in a visual way. I could communicate something about myself to the world without saying a single word. It was empowering and I gained so much self-confidence in that time.
Honestly, I wish I could've viewed getting dressed that way when I was in high school.
Instead, I was trying to figure out how to keep my brothers from stumbling – which is a tall order when you consider the hormone fueled sex drive of the average 16 year old male.
And that's the rub, isn't it? Emphasizing modesty contributes to rape culture by placing the blame on women for men's lack of self control, when really it's about much deeper issues of violence and power. It's simply tragic when our culture asks, "Well, what was she wearing?" because that immediately communicates, "She was asking for it," as if her rape was predestined by her predilection for wearing revealing clothing. But no one deserves to be raped, regardless of how they are dressed. Hell, I don't care if she's walking down the street naked – if you steal an unlocked car with the key in the ignition, you're still guilty of theft.
On the flip side, emphasizing modesty tends to villainize men. It paints men as sexual beasts who are unable to control themselves if there's T&A in their immediate vicinity. While I do know that teenage boys are definitely struggling to come to terms with a flood of hormones and overwhelming sexual desire, when we tell them that it's not their problem to overcome – rather it's the woman's problem to cover up – it implies that it's not important for them to develop the ability to restrain their eyes and thoughts. It also feeds the lie that men are only interested in a woman's body, and teaches girls that their most valuable asset is their bodies, despite the fact that dressing modestly is supposed to take the focus off of their bodies.
In the same way, it downplays the importance of the beauty of a woman's body by turning it into a taboo, rather than a beautiful creation to celebrate. We naturally feel shame about our bodies when we are told we need to cover them up. We don't view our bodies as amazing and beautiful, but rather something shameful that needs to be hidden from sight. The female body is unparalleled in it's beauty. Think of the nude statues and paintings by the world's greatest artists. They are a celebration of a form that is inherently beautiful. God chose to express beauty through his creation, and the female body is one of those beautiful creations. Instead, we tell women that our bodies need covering, as they are objects of untold temptation. This undermines girls' understanding of healthy sexuality, sensuality, and beauty. We move the female body from a breathtakingly beautiful creation by God, to a sinful, shameful temptation that must be hidden, lest our brothers in Christ, who are sexual beasts mind you, are overcome with lust!
A lady on the street, but a freak in the bed.
It gets even more confusing when you get married and all of a sudden you're supposed to embrace your sexuality and your body is supposed to switch from being an object of shame to something beautifully pleasurable for both you and your partner. To keep pure till marriage, you've hidden your body and done everything you can to avoid sexual attraction. Now, your main job is sexual attraction. Attract your husband. Be the smokin' hot wife. Be constantly sexually available. And if you're not? Watch out, some immodest slut might steal your godly husband. So, spend 20-30 years doing all you can to be anti-sexual, hiding your beauty and sensuality, then flip a switch and be as sexually attractive as humanly possible. But only around your husband.
Like Ludacris said, "We want a lady on the street, but a freak in the bed."
(I got exhausted just writing that.)
Let's be honest, modesty is hyper subjective. What's modest for a girl in public high school isn't the same as for a girl in a private Catholic school which isn't the same for a girl in an Amish community. What's considered modest in a hot climate is different than what's modest in a cold climate. There isn't a hard and fast definition out there for what is modest. It's an opinion that not only differs from culture to culture, but from person to person – and dramatically, at that.
To complicate matters more, women's bodies are so radically different from one woman to the next that an outfit on one girl may be "modest" but the same outfit on another girl with a different body could look totally "immodest." Just recently a local girl was kicked out of her prom for showing too much cleavage, despite having searched high and low for a dress that would just fit her fuller figure properly. She was told she could stay if she covered up with a shawl. The message is clear. Your body is only an object for sexual pleasure. You must cover it up.
Within the church, holding up modesty as a virtue can make judging immodest girls okay, and paints them all as "sluts," sexually promiscuous, and un-Christian. It places low value on them automatically because there's no way "immodest" can be painted in a positive light. It is a negative word by design. Women who dress modestly, with the intention of not tempting their brothers in Christ, can start to acquire a sense of superiority and self-righteousness and look down on the "slutty" immodest girls who are causing all the men to stumble. And really, what does that accomplish, other than creating pain, anger, and separation? Does that attitude make the "immodest" woman want to listen to the opinion of the "modest" woman and become more modest? I'm going to guess that if you feel judged by another person, you probably want nothing to do with them, much less sit and listen to them talk about how you need to change your ways and be more modest. When an environment of judgment is created, relationships are broken and open discussion is almost impossible. When we approach one another with respect and seek understanding, doors are opened.
So, in light of all this smokin' hot conversation, let me make a modest proposal.
I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think that modesty, while it's complex and often gets mixed up with a bunch of other issues, has value, especially for younger girls in junior high and high school. It's important to communicate that you shouldn't have to show cleavage or wear a short skirt to get a guy's attention. Your body is NOT your most important asset. We place a lot of importance on bodies in our culture, and there is a crap-ton of shame and guilt that surrounds the cultural view of women's bodies (just look at the epidemic of eating disorders). But a lasting relationship is ultimately going to have very little to do with a hot body. We need to move beyond Victoria Secret ads and porn depictions and start thinking about our bodies in a new way.
Our bodies are beautiful and incredible. They are strong, full-figured, slender, curvy, miraculous, naturally sensual, and capable of producing life itself! Even down to the amazing functions our bodies perform second by second, our bodies are so much more than flat abs and perky boobs. Yeah, modesty is a damaged word with a lot of confusing messages. So we should begin with the message that you are worthy of love, love that isn't conditional on hotness, that your body is a beautiful thing that is desirable and powerful, and that a relationship should have a much stronger foundation than physical attraction. Then, we can begin to acknowledge that appearance is, in fact, a powerful thing, and what we wear (or don't wear) can absolutely have an effect on men. And sometimes the wearer knows this and is trying to get that attention, that attraction, that reaction.
However, what a man chooses to do at that point is fully the man's responsibility. He can choose to turn someone into an object of sexual desire, or he can choose to move past his feelings of sexual desire and see through someone's appearance and experience the image of God, the beautiful creation God has made. I'm not saying it's not difficult, but it's worth it not only for the man's purity, but for the woman as well. To show her dignity and respect. Because she is God's creation, and Christ died for her. What more do we need to convince us that she is worthy of more than objectification?
Sexuality is already so confusing. So much weight is placed on it, and women feel most of that weight, especially considering that sexuality for a woman involves that whole baby-making thing. Women deal with the stress of balancing between "prude" and "whore," something men by and large have no issue with. Modesty is often one more weight that is placed on women, shouldering them with the task of keeping not only themselves sexually pure, but keeping men from even thinking about them in a sexual way. I not only have to manage my own thoughts and feelings about sex and my body, but I'm given the task of keeping the thoughts of men around me on the straight and narrow as well.
So here's my proposal: Instead of stressing modesty, let's stress responsibility.
Responsibility, not only for women, but for men as well.
Responsibility for your actions, your thoughts, your appearance, your attitude, and your speech.
Because in the end, that's what you can control.

DICE Confirms Battlefield: Bad Company Series is Not in Active Development

Posted on June 3, 2013 AT 04:49am
Bad new for those of you who were hoping that DICE was secretly working on a new Bad Company game as the developer has confirmed that the series is currently not in active development.
"We love the Bad Company series, but don't have it in active development. Battlefield 4 is our main focus for the year," the developer said in response to a fan on Twitter. The core Battlefield series has taken a precedent over the much loved Bad Company series lately, which has angered some fans.
Battlefield 4 is set to release later this year on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.

I love this villa!! The photos posted in airbnb were exactly what the villa looks like - very modern and clean. The host provided mosquito repellent and sunblock which are very thoughtful. Always remember to close the door of your rooms so mosquitos would not come in! Airport pickup was smooth as well. I would definitely come back and stay in the same place!
Kadek, who assisted us while we were there was extremely helpful and friendly. The villa is amazing, especially the pool. Only problem we had was that the villa was not on the main road so it isn't the safest when we (all girls) walked back at night. Other than, definitely enjoyed staying at the villa.
What you see on the pictures is what you get. The facilities are clean and the pool is nice. Location is good as it's within walking distance to the main road where you can find nice restaurants.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. We find the family areas (living, dining) a little too small. But all in all, it's good value for the price charged.
After getting a little lost finding the place and having them meet us to guide us there, we entered a lovely haven of peace in a rather hectic Seminyak!
The pool is definitely the best thing about this place, it is so wonderful to be able to have a dip after a day of shopping and eating.
The host was lovely, we met her the second day and it would have been great to meet her on the first day. The staff were kind, but we did have to remind them for extra towels. Also the room wasnt particularly tidy when we arrived eg hair in basin and half drunk water bottle in cupboard. The pool is lovely as the photos show, and obviously photos make the place seem large but it is a cosy place. Overall lovely place to stay.
The reservation was canceled 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Staff were welcoming and helpful with all our needs.

It happens every November. And it's embarrassing to admit, really. I examine the calendar. I try to remember - was it November the 6th or the 8th? Maybe it was the 10th? Of course it was the 6th. Now, how many years has it been? I should know this. I really should.

The character Bushy in the Shakespearean play Richard II summarizes the relationship between grief and creativity when he tells the queen "Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows…" Indeed, it is often when an artist is in his or her deepest throes of mourning that the greatest works of art are created. Even so, many people who have lost someone near and dear to them may fail to appreciate how creative expressions can help them overcome such a loss. When they want to find closure and be able to accept the death of a loved one, they may consider these creative options to complete the mourning process.
Immediately following the death of a loved one, there are so many important details to take care of such as planning a funeral and handling any important paperwork for insurance claims or final medical bills. If your loved one was killed as the result of a tragic accident that complicates things even more. During this time there are many people who will offer their assistance to ensure that everything goes smoothly. One of the first things that you should do in order to take some of the stress off of yourself is to consult with and retain an attorney to file any necessary paperwork for a wrongful death suit.

I am having so much trouble with my Edirol UA4FX unit that I could not in good conscience recommend it to anybody.First of all, the loop-back feature simply does not work...not for me, anyway. The instruction manual is unclear whether the USB cable does all the work, or if you need to feed the line out from the Edirol into the line or mic input on your computer. Either way, it does not work.I tried recording an audio track with an SM58, and there was so much crackling and popping, it was ridiculous.And the whole sound card situation is so confusing! Unless you jump through just the right hoops with your software and make sure just the right parameters are set, you won't hear anything.To those of you who got this thing to work, congratulations. But for me, this was a complete waste of money and a continued waste of time.
I have been using this audio interface for a few years now. It is an amazing tool for recording demos. Works very well with Garageband and the on board effects sound great.
This item is good for recording any form of sound digital or analoug. I used it to copy audio cassetts and convert them to CD. I used sonar home 6, and the results are awesome. You can remix to some extent using the fx . you'll have fun doing so.
I bought this item used from another online music store. So I could have been taking a risk. But the truth is that this audio interface does what it claims to do. I use it with my yamaha mixer so i can catch stereo sound from the rec out to the rca inputs for live performances. Records nicelythere is barely any hum if any at all. The guitar effects sound better than my boss metal zone pedal. But not better than my Orange half stack of course! And the tube simulator does an amazing job simulating the real deal.A problem I had with this device was that it wouldnt turn on a few times during pc startup. It would be awesome if they added an "on" switch so I wouldnt have to worry about that.In all, Edirol (by Roland) did a pretty good job creating this useful audio interface.

Public Works Department
Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 3 Reconstruction Project
City Council recently allocated funding for the construction of the Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 3 Reconstruction Project.
The existing pump station, located at 4281 Myra Avenue, is over 50 years old and there is past evidence of street flooding within its service area. The station has reached the end of its useful design life and requires upgrades for compliance with current Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) design standards.
This project will reconstruct the Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 3 and provide Myra Avenue and the adjoining streets with added protection against flooding. The City of Cypress views this project as an important Public Works project, beneficial not only to the areas affected but to the community. Your cooperation during all phases of construction will be necessary for the safe and successful completion of the project. Work is scheduled to begin in April 2014. The project completion is tentatively scheduled for February 2015.
The area immediately in front of 4281 Myra Avenue will be closed to through traffic, and we suggest the use of alternate routes to arrive at your destination. All construction announcements and parking restrictions will be posted 48-hours in advance and door hangers will be distributed to all affected residences.
For your SAFETY and the safety of your family and visitors, please stay away from equipment and construction areas. Please keep your children from harm and instruct them to stay clear of all construction activities. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a quick and successful project completion.
To ensure open lines of communication with businesses and residents, the City has designated a project manager and project inspector to handle all aspects of the project. To ensure quick response to your inquiries, comments, and concerns, please call:

Subsmooth sets: Functional characterizations and related concepts
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Prox-regularity of a set (Poliquin-Rockafellar-Thibault, 2000), or its global version, proximal smoothness (Clarke-Stern-Wolenski, 1995) plays an important role in variational analysis, not only because it is associated with some fundamental properties as the local continuous differentiability of the function , or the local uniqueness of the projection mapping, but also because in the case where is the epigraph of a locally Lipschitz function, it is equivalent to the weak convexity (lower-C property) of the function. In this paper we provide an adapted geometrical concept, called subsmoothness, which permits an epigraphic characterization of the approximate convex functions (or lower-C property). Subsmooth sets turn out to be naturally situated between the classes of prox-regular and of nearly radial sets. This latter class has been recently introduced by Lewis in 2002. We hereby relate it to the Mifflin semismooth functions.

My favorite thing to order from Juan's Flying Burrito. I prefer the Mid City location over the LGD one. The atmosphere is funky, the sangria tasty, and the food...just awesome.
My favorite thing to order from Juan's Flying Burrito. I prefer the Mid City location over the LGD one. The atmosphere is funky, the sangria tasty, and the food...just awesome.
I'm pleased to report that Sriracha sauce is a wonderful complement to Blue Runner red beans. Happy Monday!
We've been to New Orleans Food & Spirits before, and decided a Sunday afternoon might be a fun time for a return trip. It was!
Abita Amber draft. Great start.
Tasty seafood gumbo. You can tell the server was a bit jittery, as she brought the soup to the table in her hand, rather than on a tray. Remember that, aspiring servers. The gumbo was good, not the best I've ever had, but the roux was thick, not lumpy, and the seasoning level was proper.
Mrs. YatCuisine's Shrimp Remoulade Salad, with the dressing on the side. Grilled shrimp, not too spicy, but not bland, either. Tomato was fresh, and the remoulade, well, it was OK. The earth didn't move. I don't want to convey the impression it was bad, because bad remoulade makes you want to run like Godzilla's down the street. It was OK.
Half a muff. Proper. Delicious. Can't go wrong with good bread and good ingredients. This was so good, I quickly forgot how indifferent I was to wife's salad.
Cheesecake for dessert!
In summary, we'll be back again. The food is good and consistent, albeit not platonic.
I saw these at Zuppardo's out in #themetrys. I had no idea who/what "Caluda's" is, but the grocery store's barcode system gave me a clue. The price sticker listed the item as coming from "Dianne Randazzo's." When I double-checked the address of Caluda's, it was indeed the same Elmwood location. I'm guessing Dianne Randazzo either sold out, or changed the name of the business.
As you can see by the icing, it's a Randazzo-style cake. As such, it's OK. Is a slice of a larger king cake better? Yes. Also, there's no baby in these individual cakes, and they're $5 apiece.
All those negatives aside, they're cute.
If you walk down Karl John's Gate, just past the Parliament building in downtown Oslo (an easy walk from my regular hotel), there's shopping and dining. New Delhi is one of two Indian restaurants on Øvre Slottsgate, and one of my go-to places.
This is Handi Gosht, with rice and garlic naan. I've also enjoyed their Rogan Josh, Mutton Shahi Korma and Chicken Shahi Korma. New Delhi calls their super-hot curries "Madras-Vindaloo," and both the Lamb and Chicken are tasty. I usually get samosasas a starter here. The Onion Bhaji is good, as are the soups. To drink, beer, of course.
New Delhi bills themselves as "Punjabi," and this is good, representative Northern Indian food.
Bought a pint of Blue Bell's "Mardi Gras King Cake" ice cream. Some quick thoughts:
Overall, It was a tasty treat. Half a gallon's worth? Might be extrme, unless you have a group coming over.
Had drinks and picked at starters with the lovely and talented Laura Bergerol last week at Irish House. Always a fun time!
These are "Cornmeal Crusted Barbequed Oysters with firecracker coleslaw" - the coleslaw isn't so "firecracker," but who cares? The oysters are wonderful.
"Irish cheese platter Trio of cheese with toasted soda bread, cornichons and berry compote." This lovely combination of cheeses didn't stick around long.
"Truffled Chicken, Wild Mushroom, Smoked Gouda and Cilantro Tart drizzled with truffle oil." This is cheesey and wicked. The chicken, 'shrooms, and cheese come together. It's comfort food you just can't make easily at home.
Naturally, no trip to Irish House NOLA would be complete without multiple pints of Murphys!
While this wasn't a full meal, it's worth reporting on Irish House. Chef Matt describes his place as a "Gastropub," and that's quite accurate. Whether you treat Irish House as a restaurant, or as a pub, either way you get wonderful food and drinks.
Perfect Tin is an American-style amber ale from Tin Roof Brewery in Baton Rouge. It's a nice amber, not as heavy as the ubiquitous Abita. Perfect Tin's got a malt flavor, with just a hint of something--chocolate on my palate.
I first had Perfect Tin on tap at Walk On's in Baton Rouge, when we helped move kiddo in for the fall semester at LSU this year. Zuppardo's sells it, so it's part of my regular rotation now.
We had to bring kiddo a textbook he ordered from Amazon, so it made a good excuse to take him to lunch on Sunday. He chose Oscar's Pizza & Ice Cream, on Perkins, after hearing several friends rave about the sundaes. I figured, why not, how bad can any pizza be, if there's good ice cream in the offing?
No worries, the pizza was pretty good...
Southern Pecan, from Lazy Magnolia, in Mississippi. I pick this brew up regularly at the grocery, but it's so much nicer on tap!
The three of us split an order of meatballs as a starter. Didn't get a chance to take a pic--they got devoured too fast!
We each got calzones. Oscar's does 7" and 12" sizes, and all three of us got the smaller size. Mrs. YatPundit and kiddo both got just-pepperoni, but I got a specialty from the menu, the "Primo." It's ground italian sausage, caramelized onions, and pepperonicis. The sauce on the side was incredibly tasty, making for a great lunch.
Warm chocolate chip cookie sundae. That's two scoops of cookies-and-cream ice cream on the ends, and vanilla in the middle. It's not fair to say the pizza wasn't relevant, but it could have been a disaster and the trip would've been worth it. The fact that the calzones were all tasty means we'll be back to Oscar's.
I was teaching in Ottawa the week of January 6th, so naturally I stopped into D'Arcy McGee's one evening. Darcy McGee's is your typical Irish Pub--pub food, good selection of beer, nice staff. The gals all wear miniskirt-kilts, but since I always sit at the bar, I chat up Doc the bartender.
Keith's was on special, so I started with that. It worked just fine with onion souip.
Lamb pie for the main, and it was quite good...the pie itself had a flaky crust and a good traditional gravy/vegetable filling. The lamb was flavorful, with a good gravy and greens.
I switched to Mill Street Brewing's Coffee Porter for the main.
Desert was a "Chocolate Volcano," and a scoop of house-made ice cream.
Double-Chocolate Milk Stout from Big Rig for dessert.
Overall, a lovely meal!

Opening Ceremony - MineCon 2012
Welcome to MineCon 2012! Watch the Opening Ceremony for a taste of what's to come over the weekend.
by Sarah Lynch on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Just re-watched this to hear @iBuze and @xILubez shout "Dennis" as @Vareide came on stage!
Lydia Winters... freakin hot piece of ass.
What do they do in these cons? What do they talk about?
"Yeah, next year, I'm gonna introduce a new texture for the sand block. It's going to have one more pixel"
"You know, I almost got to move out from my mother's basement, but at the end, I couldn't do it..."
oohhh~oohhh~ ♥
Yeah what about all of those old arcade games that the artists never got any recognition for.....Mine Craft is garbage to me personally cause it rips off Retro graphics and but it's in futurama today.
I think Minecraft was a fantastic idea fantastically executed. But I think the praise that this guy gets and holding a pretty substantial event like this is puzzling.
Now there is a ____con for everything.....
How long until CoDcon ? Maybe HaloCon ?
Sigh... society.
Im not into whole MInecraft commotion but the Gangamm style was cool lol
Wish I were there :)
they had a con for this?!
I want to burn that hat of his.
The name of the convention keeps reminding me of a certain book which shall not be named. Most unfortunate.
Total BS that there is no Con for River City Ransom. I mean you could call it RivRan-Con. Maybe the RCRC. COME ON!!!
i miss blizzcon...
Hat Films fans REPRESENT!!!
I feel like the oldest actually fit person that plays Minecraft when watching this video.
join mycraftsmp.no-ip.org and join the faction Minecon!
/f join minecon
You are aware that they aren't talking about you but about something interesting. But i do wish you good luck to level up from your "mother's basement" to "mother's cellar" sometimes in the near future.
agree..... the guy is over hyped big time. he got lucky with one game. who cares? there are devs out there that have been involved with dozens of amazing games that millions of players have played, and they dont even get 10% of the celebrity this guy gets.
not only that, but notch is pretty much a one hit wonder now.... have you seen his new game? it is basically just the same idea as minecraft.... but you are building a ship instead. and people praise this guy for being revolutionary?
minecraft wasnt that amazing people. time to wake the fuck up.
@Geminon @-Unreal- That may be true but they have been working on things to help improve this game and since it has tons of people making modifications to it, it helps the game get a lot more interesting, Notch being the original creator of this game is pretty much getting all this praise because he's the one that started all this, it has grown from his design, since he is the main "Icon" of minecraft, well in the real world at least, he and the rest of the Mojang team that helped him along the way are sharing the praise for it.

Article Summary
While the world watches anxiously as the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) begins its most dangerous operation yet in the ongoing clean-up of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, large Japanese corporations continue to design and build robots to help go where people cannot. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has built a new remote-controlled robot called the MHI-Super Giraffe, which has an extendable arm capable of reaching up to 8 m (26 ft), and borrows battery technology from Mitsubishi Motor's electric vehicles.

This a great shoe. Designed by the same guy who did the Sportiva Testarossas, they are very aggressively downturned. The amazing thing is that they stay downturned due to the way they've been designed and manufactured, unlike the Testarossas and Solutions which flatten out after a while. XS Grip rubber is super sticky and I'm confident on the teeniest of holds. The break-in period for these shoes is killer. In spite of this, though, I just bought my second pair of Rockettes, as I like them that much. I am a street shoe size 7 and fit a 37 in the Rockette. I fit a 35 in the women's Miuras.
I was debating between the rockette and the sphinx, but in the end, I chose these and am really happy with my decision. I was looking for a more aggressive shoe and the hooked, asymmetric angle of this shoe is wonderful for tiny footholds. My performance has improved a lot because a.)these shoes are more aggressive and b.)I got a fitted size this time. My foot is about 9 in. long and I bought a size 36. It is a pretty tight fit (a 36 1/2 would have probably been perfect), but I endured. Can't walk around in them, but the velcro straps make it very convenient putting them on and taking them off. I loved the stickers on and in the box when it was delivered to my house. Moosejaw rocks!
This is my first pair of Scarpas. After hearing a friend talk on and on about his Mago's I decided to try the female version of the Booster which is a velcro version of the Mago. I knew that if Scarpa invested time and money on 3 different shoes for the same last that they must have struck gold. And I thank them for it. I don't have anything against lace-ups, but I boulder. I could probably get an EVEN better fit from the Mago's but honestly RIGHT out of the box the Rockettes felt like a glove. As soon as I was able to get my heel in sometimes it can be a V-3 to put shoes on then I felt the comfort. After about 2 weeks 3 days indoors and 3 days outdoors the toes uncurled a little bit
Really beautiful and comfortable. Easy to put in and out.

UFC and Its Gang of 4.6 Million Facebook Friends Body Slam Sports Broadcasting
In a move that may break television's sleeper hold on sports events, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will exclusively live-stream an anticipated fight on Facebook, available to anyone who "likes" their fan page. This is the first time a major sporting event has offered exclusive content through the social networking king, and, if successful, could make Facebook center stage for the Super Bowls and World Cups of the future.
Experimenting with new web integration is a natural fit for the UFC, a business built on the strapping backs of its early, Internet-savvy fans. When CEO Dana White first took over the beleaguered brand, "none of the traditional media ever covered the UFC," White tells Fast Company. "One of the things that helped keep us alive was the Internet. We were really into social media before social media was even cool."
Today, White's million-strong Twitter following and cadre of fighters trained in social media ninjitsu overtake global trending topics for most major bouts. As Internet users increasingly turn to their Facebook friends to filter out the barrage of advertisement noise, personal recommendations can mean millions of new eyeballs. "One of the great things about Facebook is that it reaches 600 million people," Dana gushes. "But even better than that, all these people can talk to each other and let their friends know the fight is on."
UFC's explosive popularity has super-saturated television's capacity to satisfy demand. During a live event, "there's actually fights that won't air that people are dying to see," White says. Facebook streams that otherwise unnoticed extra content, which is wildly popular, if not quite popular enough for regular TV programming. And hardcore fans watching the action pump up online buzz.
A previous test-run on Facebook for a small event gave the UFC confidence to make a larger commitment to the online streaming model. A charity fight live-streamed for troops stationed abroad raked in 123,000 new Facebook fans, according to their social media lead, Amy Martin of Digital Royalty. Martin, who works with a broad sports portfolio of social media successes, from Shaq to the LA Kings, tells Fast Company that so-called "like-gating" is "absolutely" the future of live sporting events. "We don't have a network today that reaches the same global audience that Facebook does ... We're taking the content to where fans want to be and where they're spending their day."
For now, the UFC still cannot justify completely replacing its television cash cow for Facebook: Saturday's live-stream preliminary fight ends when a Spike TV broadcast picks up, which then climaxes in the main Pay-Per-View show. However, the experiment paves the way for sports enterprises to whole-sale abandon network TV as soon as Facebook untangles the advertising logistics with this new medium.
Until then, gather your friends, grab some beers, and go to Facebook—the fight's about to start.

I understand the logic of showing the fight not covered on TV (and getting some advertising dollars for it) but I do not see yet how it would really replace the main event. Only way is to go to a pay per view model on Facebook itself... But anyway I love to see my favorite sport and magazine connect:)

Family evacuated after house blaze
CORPUS CHRISTI - Six adults and seven children were evacuated from a home Wednesday because of a fire on the city's Westside.
No one was injured in the fire in the 4300 block of Hollywood Terrace, said Battalion Chief Michael Schmidt of the Corpus Christi Fire Department.
But one of the family's pet ferrets was killed and two are missing, fire officials said.
Firefighters rescued three dogs trapped in or near the home, he said.
"Thank God we all made it out alive instead of something happening to the children," said Ezequiel Gonzalez, who was at a family gathering at the home.
About 17 firefighters responded to the call, which came at 6:36 p.m., and they had the fire out within 15 minutes, Schmidt said. Fire department officials believe the blaze started in one of the back bedrooms but the cause had not been determined late Wednesday.
The home is uninhabitable, Schmidt said. The American Red Cross had been called late Wednesday to assist the family, he said.
