Which is so in keeping with the job description of an electronic marketing specialist.
Have fun, folks. Take lots of pictures and let me know how it goes.
We are SO going to miss you Franklin!
Okay Franklin. When you get free trips to Europe you do occasionally have to suck up to management-----(Karma and all that..)
Just be careful where you're stuffin' them pom-poms------
I think you should go to Rhinbeck, and Delores can cover for you at the university! She owes you big time, anyway .. LOL
Oh, problem solved! Get DOLORES to pass out the pom-poms. She'll be a fine representative (on sooo many levels), and you can sneak off to Rhinebeck.
I would be very afraid to come back to work on Monday....
As someone equally overworked in equally absurd ways, I offer my very deepest sympathy.
(I can't even _consider_ going to Rhinebeck and I'm in-state.)
I say that those of us left behind organize our own fun this weekend. Wanton blog hopping? Interspecies fraternization? Hot electron-on-electron action? Not sure where to go with this, but can't we have yarny (vicarious) fun, too?
You have GOT to be joking.
Gah, I hate it when they get you with that loophole in the job description: "... and other job-related duties."
You could herd elephants through that loophole.
Well, Holly, seeing as those trips are preceded by usually 3 weeks during which I work an extra 15 hours to prepare things for my absence; and are followed by at least one week during which I work 60 hours to clean up the mess made while I'm gone; and require that I be available 24/7 to passengers who have any complaint, no matter how small; and require me to spend most nights writing reports; and usually wind up costing me money in spite of being "free"; and are used as an excuse to justify these weekends, which will require me to work menial jobs for three 20-hour days with no overtime and no comp time; and considering that I will be expected to take insults from the alumni with a smile; considering all that, I think my karma can withstand feeling upset that my desire to see friends at Rhinebeck that I'll see only at Rhinebeck has been thwarted.
Darn--seeing you was one of the main things that was making me happy about my annual decent into hell (mother-in-law lives there and no way of going without seeing her).
You will be missed....
Oh how I don't miss that place! My current boss just rewarded us for our last few week's work with a complimentary comp day just to make sure that we don't get burned out (and we weren't even putting any extra hours in!!)
Heh. As an alumni of the overpriced finishing school, I am now tinkering with idea of actually showing up this weekend to get one of your pom poms. I'll make you a deal: you tell me where you're stuck standing, and I'll bring you a ball of yarn. Seriously - I only return to The Rock with good reason, and I can't make Rhinebeck either... Just let me know! :)
I agree with Ted above. Major poopage indeed. Not that I know you (worth mentioning) and you certainly don't know me, but the possibility that you and the other knitting blog-gods might be at Rhinebeck is one of the reasons I want to go.
That and all the fiber. Make up a wishlist, dear, a registry, so to speak, and we'll do our best to fulfill your every wish.
Just don't send Dolores in your stead. Unless she needs shearing....
Dear Franklin, when faced with such problems (as in when I couldn't go two years running to an event in my own damn STATE!) I ponder the following Taoist-ish story. A beautiful horse runs away from a farm. "Ah, such bad luck!" says the farmer's neighbor. "Who is to say what is good and bad?" says the farmer. A week later, the horse comes back, leading a herd of beautiful horses. "such GOOD luck!" says the neighbor. "Who is to say what is good and bad?" says the farmer. The farmer's son breaks his leg while trying to break one of the horses. "Ah, such bad luck!" says the farmer's neighbor. "Who is to say what is good and bad?" says the farmer.
The next day, the army shows up to conscript every able bodied young man. But, the farmer's son is not taken because of the broken leg.
You guessed it. Who is to say what is good or bad?
If you want some bright yellow striped sock yarn to make you feel better, I have some extra
Goldangit. I'm sorry.
I have an idea - put MDS&W on your vacation calendar NOW. I'll prepare the guest room, and you and Dolores (and C if he wants to join you) can stay chez Smith for the duration of the event. (Dolores may want to be apprised of the fact that we do, in fact, have a shetland sheepdog that I described in my Cast-on bio as "unemployed.")
I mean, we're not a Victorian B&B, but my husband is a wicked cook and our guest room is right next to my yarn stash - er, office. You should feel right at home...
HEY! I am one of those snotty alumni!! God forbid that I should ever have to work there though.
If I ever go on one of those alumni trips, you'd better be going too! Yarn and camera supplies is pretty much the bulk of my luggage.
Well, THAT bites. I say take that moment and start networking alumni for a new job. Ask the ones who give you yarn. They will understand.
That so blows. Your work stories never fail to outrage me on your behalf.
Just curious...how much more of this will it take before you dump the university's sorry ass and start working for someone who will actually appreciate you? :)
*pats Franklin consolingly*
And this is just one of the many reasons that I left post-secondary work ...
I'm so sorry. That just ... sucks.
Wow,, which Uni cause Im supposed to go on a campus tour that weekend, wonder if you are gonna be my guide......
What if you're kidnapped?
There are times I'm actually thankful I'm on disability and can't work, despite what I laughingly call the 'budget' that results. Far too often, jobs simply suck rats. Sorry, Franklin.
(Re Dolores - she *is* a pom pom. Now if only you could hand her out, that might wring some relief from the agony.)
oh, Franklin...that's too bad. I'm so sorry! I know you were looking forward to going...sigh. Well, would it be too "polly-anna" to suggest looking for the...the...Oh, shit. I can't find the positive side to this. Must be the reduced dose of prozac. But I can help you curse...
That sucks.
But I like the color changes to your template.
just in case this was of interest to you, Swappers,
Are there any men on this knitswap list that would like me to sell them any
of the guy colored sock yarns I can't use for hubby? He works in a prison
so any yarns with blue, or any combos with blue are not allowed. Inmates
where denim and chambray, so staff can't.

Hey Pumpkin. So sorry you are trapped with the purple masses that weekend, it totaly blows. Someday, maybe next year, when you have that new and glorious gig we will find for you, you can look back at this and smile :)
Franklin, you SOOOO need to add a list of places you get yarn and wool to your sidebar - whether or not they're online shops.
Franklin, you are so talented, why do you put up with this shit? Is it time to go job hunting?
That bites.
AHHHH!! ah well it figures.. I finally get to go and don't get to meet ya! oh well!
Repeat after me: "I'm sorry, no, I'm not available that weekend. I have plans that can't be changed." If needed, or desired, you can continue with, "...you snobby purple bastards."
that really stinks! Have you thought about coming to SAFF? It's in ashville in a few weeks and the rumor I heard is it was better then MDS&W. Lots of classes, Im taking a spinning class from Carol Rhoades who is one of the editors of spin off! magazine.
I think Ann is right. We need to break the leg (aw heck, both of 'em) of the person who is making you work.
I've already told you how I feel about this.
I'm thinking the Wolverinas and I should crochet nooses for you to hand out to the ones who insult you. I wield a mean hook, babe.
Um, yes, I DO know how to crochet. No, I will not make Dolores a grannysquare thong.
But how in the world can you play Rhinebeck Blogger Bingo if you're not at Rhinebeck?!? That's just ridiculous. Humpfh. Humpfh.
Well, pooh! on that employer! It's quite all right to whine and bitch about missing Rhinebeck. Gad. If we all had to suck it up, and pretend everything was ok, when it's not, there wouldn't be enough chocolate to go around. (giving you a hug)
Plan for Maryland. Mark it on the calendar NOW. Tell the boss not to make any plans for you, for that time. If he/she fusses, send in Dolores.
stitchy told me of your unfortunate circumstances. bastards!
SUCKY! Sorry that happened. I'm not going to make it this year either, but I have it on the radar for next year. (Maybe Taos, too.)
I'm thinkin' the U owes you some cashmere or something...
I've taken to buying non-refundable/non-chanageable non anything tickets -- even to places I could have driven to. The boss is far less likely to f.... er mess with my weekend if he knows it will cost me that much money.... so far anyway....
WHAT! they can't get alumni to pass out pom poms? outrageous!
i understand, franklin, i can't go either. granted, my reason is that it's too far away (i'm in nebraska, and can't justify hte plane ticket to my husband at this time), but still. i'm planning on avoiding the blogs in october, lol

MARIETTA, Ga. – Amber Casiano (South Windsor, Conn.) recorded a career-high six points to lead the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to Friday afternoon's 20-6 non-conference victory against Presbyterian College in a neutral-site game at Lassister High School's Frank Fillman Football Stadium.
UNH, winners of four of its last five games, recorded season highs in both goals and assists (11) to improve to 5-3 overall. Presbyterian has lost five consecutive games to fall to 1-7.
Casiano, who scored a personal best of four goals and added two assists, was one of nine Wildcats who recorded multiple points. JoJo Curro (Amherst, N.H.) tallied four points on one goal and three assists and Sarah Campbell (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) also finished with four points on three goals and one assist..
Kate Keagins (Bay Shore, N.Y.) netted three goals while Meghan Bridges (Sandy Hook, Conn.; 1g, 1a), Chelsea Cyester (Parker, Colo.; 1g, 1a), Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.; 2g), Molly Gaffey (North Hampton, N.H.; 1g, 1a) and Jenny Simpson (New Canaan, Conn; 2g) also finished with multiple points.
Ilana Cohen (Andover, Mass.) and Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) accounted for UNH's other two goals while Cara Dowdle (Northbrook, Ill.) and Ally Stager (Reading, Mass.) each had an assist. It marked the first career points for Campbell, Dowdle and Gaffey.
Kate Gunts (Wilton, Conn.) made eight saves, including six in the first half, and held the Blue Hose scoreless for a stretch of 38 minutes, 34 seconds spanning the first and second halves. Keagins recorded a game-high six ground balls as well as a game-high six caused turnovers. Casiano and Cori Rees (East Hampstead, N.H.) tied for the team lead in draw controls with three apiece.
Presbyterian's offense was provided by Brianne Ward (2g) and Lauren Lefeber (2g). Susan England surrendered 10 goals and stopped seven shots in 30:15 of action and was charged with the loss. Bridget Hogan made four saves and yielded 10 goals.
UNH quickly built a 4-0 goal on unassisted tallies by Simpson (at 29:33), Keagins (28:10) and Simpson (27:31) as well as a free-position goal by Keagins (26:50).
The Blue Hose stopped the run on Ward's goal at 24:42, but the Wildcats closed the first half with seven consecutive goals to take an 11-1 lead into halftime. New Hampshire also had the edge in shots (22-10) and ground balls (17-13) at the break.
UNH extended the advantage to 16-1 before Lefeber ended the 12-0 run with a goal at 16:08. The Wildcats responded with goals 93 seconds apart – at 14:22 and 12:49 – to extend the margin to 18-2. Ward (5:28) and Lefeber (2:38) sandwiched strikes around a goal by Casiano (3:27) to move the score to 19-4 and Campbell capped the scoring with 1:21 remaining.
The 'Cats finished with a 38-16 shot advantage as well as the edge in both ground balls (27-21) and draw controls (14-13) while committing fewer turnovers (16-28).
The 20 goals marked the highest UNH output since April 2009 (21-7 vs. Stony Brook University). It also was the most goals scored on the road since April 2007 (22-5 at Binghamton University) and the most against a non-league team since March 2006 (20-8 vs. Marist College).
New Hampshire returns to action March 26 (12 p.m.) for its America East conference opener at UMBC. The Wildcats' next home game is April 6 (4 p.m.) against Boston University.

Ive said in a thread a few days ago that a good place to buy gardening books is the likes of the red cross /animal rescue shops etc,
Well ive one such book on my desk as i write this and its about four inches thick and it was first on the market in 1934 "edited by E.T. ELLIS "F.R.H.S."
I bought this book second hand in september 1999 in a animal rescue shop in Bala mid wales for £3-00.
In the opening page is a little note saying to J. S THOMPSON AND ITS DATED 1934.
As you go through the book for verious subjecs other gardens of the time have been added with their experienced contributions,
And many hand written notes also by i imagen was J. S. Thompson,
Ive used this book many times over the years (i call it my bible) and i just wanted to point out the value for next to nothing of buying such a book full of so much information,
Ive many such books most bought from shops or book flee markets and all have their worth when deciding a new plant for the garden no matter if its veg/flowers or garden construction.
Such buys are still really good value and well worth looking for a money paid goes to good causes,
Lets hear from Antony on what he wants,
Ive friends and family who have children, and the start of the rest of their lives is what they can & cant do, where they can and cant go and sharing,
If a parent wants to have a garden as a hobby then it should be just that "not just for the children only,
The children will understand a lot more if they know they're not allowed to wreck everything in sight in the name of being a child,
ref asking advice ref maintaing his garden it was given via learning from the start
and not having grass 2 feet high in places and then coming on here asking we're have i gone wrong !
As ive said the question was asked and so far Antony has had a mixed bag of replies,
He's already found out its cost him good money for a mess of a lawn,
Now it's up to him to decide what road to take ref future gardening task and how to go about them.
This is just what im talking about,
The question asked was how did i go wrong and what do i do,
All the removal of all that was on this plot and the getting of top soil/seeds etc should tell the average person that antony wanted a nice lawn not a field,
And as i said to him have a good think before you reply,
The reason for making sure you know what your doing isn't just the money factor
(but christ only knows a child will soon help him understand he cant just chuck the stuff away by lack of experience,
But saftey in what you plant and know the danger of planting the wrong things when a child is "now" here is also something to think about now before you make a bad mistake.
IE fox gloves "ring any bells to anyone ref poison !!!!" and im sure one or two members can name a few more that shouldnt be in a childs reach.
Tina, dont you agree if you take the time to know what your doing in the garden you can play safe and have a nice lawn for your child to play on, or do you think a field idea is a safer place for a child to play?
Is it safe to use weed & feed with a child crawling over the garden? How long after using such a chemicle is it safe to let a child crawl over such a treated area??
No ones talking about a bowling green, Im talking about how to go about gardening from the start in order to have an unstanding how and when's the best time to do things in the garden,
Im going to really try hard to help you "but" you must promise to think about what im saying before you reply,
Gardening is all about time, its no good trying to speed the garden up and not use a lot of patience And know how.
If you continue to do as you've already done and jump in thinking i'll just sow seed and a wonderful lawn will appear "your wrong"
You'll only end up spending money hand over fist and getting little of any value back.
So lets look at how to do any gardening and really enjoy the results,
You must plan and to do this you'll need to know what you want ie in your case a lawn for your little one to play on.
The very best way to plan is to have the know how in your hands when your ready to take in the plans on how to make your lawn,
One of the very best ways is in book form,
By having the book on the subject you'll be able to read up "All " the info in your own selected time.
Now if you would have sown your lawn in september the chances are the seeds would have germinated but because of the weather in september not being so hot and as wet as the earlier months your grass wouldnt bolt so quick, and grow as fast "hence less cutting "but the grass roots would grow thick.
The best place to buy gardening books a bit cheaper is the likes of red cross /animal rescue shops / oxfam etc etc etc;
Now the good thing about getting books from these sorts of places is that the books are given as the norm by people who's loved ones have passed away
But these books we're bought by keen gardeners and more than not written by good gardening writers who have a string of letters after their names for the subject they've wrote about,
Unlike a lot of modern gardening books that not only are very thin in papges but spend a complete page "A4 " size showing us what a cabbage looks like, or half a dozen pictures of the latest heart throb to write a gardening book with no gardening experience what so ever,
Years ago you had to know your subject before any company would print it and these older books from the likes of oxfam shops etc really are worth there money
but because theyr'e used books tend to be a lot cheaper .
You'll be giving yourself the very best chance of "YOU" knowing what to do as explained by the very best garden writers.
Forums such as this one is mainly the amature gardeners giving there own ideas on how to do such & such and if you asked 10 amature gardeners the same question !! chances are you'll get 10 differing replies,
So if you want to save yourself time & money read up on the subject and have the book's at hand should you need to re-read.
You'll then after a few attemps of growing correctly & getting first class results be able to help others out on forums such as your reading now.
I hope you take this advice as its given and not get annoyed as its given to help you understand why and where your going wrong.
Thanks allan for your input,
As ive said if anyone is having councils problems ref getting an allotment go to you local MP (thats why they're there) or C.A.B. and they'll find out all the rules for your area,
You only pass this way once in life so enjoy as much of it as you can after all enough is done for those who dont put much if anything into the purse ref paying tax etc so make sure you get back so of what you've put in.
When your doing a hobby such as gardening your stress factor reduces and you'll be amazed what sort of people you get to know doing the same as you,
Allotments are full of people from all walks of life.
Good luck to those who try.
Swiss sue,
No they've moved into my workshop, but no tv just CD. music.
Hi Flowering rose,
Im just off out to a brocante (simular to a car boot sale, the french call them brocante's)
And i know before i even get there the place will have lots of people all walking in very narrow area's between stalls and a lot of people will have dogs with them,
But these dogs will on a day like today (Hot Hot and getting even Hotter ) not have any water to drink, the owners will be at the drinks bars all drinking but no thought is shown to the dogs needs,
It really gets up my nose "but what can you do" we dont seem to have any law that says you must give your dogs water.
Pity but there you go.
When we first moved her to france this old place hadn't had any human's living in it for 25 years and so it needed a lot of airing out and work done on it to make it into a home,
The garden (2 acre's) all wild and over grown looked a lot smaller when it was wild,
But nature wouldnt let go of what she'd taken back and for a time we had to live with all kinds of animals until they got the message "humans" are back,
Now whats our lounge had the clay birds nest stuck to the top of the wall just under the ceiling, and because it was a boiling summer and i had so much to sort out i'd not put all the glass in the window frames and the swallow's had decided to keep using these clay nest they'd made years ago,
Well when the evening arrived and all was at peace i'd just fall onto the sofa and watch the tv,
When i put the tv on and the pictures refected light around the room i'd get these 4 little heads popping over the clay nest watching the tele with me,
They'd do this every time i put the tv on with out fail,
I felt awful when the day came and they'd all left knowing i'd have the glass in by the time their next years visit came about
"But the sight of these 4 little heads is one i'll take to my grave it really was a lovely sight to see and so unexpected.
Great replies and its nice to know other folk think the same as i do,
The neighbour im talking about looks like the one in last of the summer wine elye,
(have i spelt that right?) Anyway he's the actor who has really bad eyesight and talks to lamp post and things.
This neighbour went up to a young woman one day in the street market we have here and tapped her on the shoulder and went "BOO" thinking it was my wife !!
"It wasn't"
and the young woman just slid away from him thinking he was strange.
Funny old world at times But a good one.
I for some reason just couldnt sleep last night and so at 5am i was shaved showered and did what i always do, open the doors to let the day in (& the moths)
It's a smashing time of the day "early morn" and as i was up before the chior started off "dawn patrol" i thought i'd walk around the lawn and just sit outside,
It was then i thought i heard a phone ringing, "Yes " there it goes again and then i saw it, the torch light and my neighbour who lives across the track from us walking in the garden in his dressing gown saying we're are you,
(He'd left his mobile phone in the garden and couldnt find it) so his wife dialed the mobile and he was out trying to locate it.
A gardeners life for me, buzz buzz.

Taking some of its new exterior styling from the Sonata, the Hyundai Elantra really brings a lot of car for the money. The 2011 Elantra starts at a price tag under $15,000 and still comes well equipped with extras like traction control, stability control, six airbags and many other nice additions to the base model. Debuting in late 2010 the 2011 model of the Elantra plans on bringing more economical minded styles, reliability and interior furnishings to this compact sedan model from Hyundai.The new Elantra also comes with a touring option that will be rolled out in a small crossover looking wagon that will offer front wheel drive and a larger 2.0 liter engine that will give 138 horsepower to the driver. The dual overhead cam and continuous variable timing will be a big upgrade compared to the standard model and five speed manual transmissions should make a very fun to drive package that will surely be a consumer hit. There are also two trim levels to choose from on the standard Elantra that add some luxury features and alternate styling.

What the hell does Colleen Crowley think she's doing with just weeks to go in the NFL preseason? Did she really go out last night bar hopping with a new "Dallas BAE?" Would she really do this to Manziel, who is battling his ass off for the Browns starting job?
She went from being his girlfriend giving him a virtual kiss last weekend after a nice preseason start, to hanging with some bro in Dallas while John gets ready for Washington. Bullshit move, jersey chaser.
Maybe these dudes are actually gay and Colleen and her sister figured they'd be fun to hang with for the night because they would care less about sleeping with them. It's possible, I guess.
There definitely needs to be clarification from Crowley on what went down last night because Johnny really doesn't need the distractions from BAE and her sister while he's in a war with Hoyer.

Dobson is Shameless
The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America supports stem cell research.
I'm still waiting for Dobson to explain why he thinks the imago Dei must have a genetic structure rather than a spiritual one. Logically, that would mean that sin -- which corrupted the imago -- also had a genetic structure.
If eight cell blastocysts are fully human persons -- created in the image of God, but with a propensity to sin -- then why don't we have genetic engineers searching for the "original sin" gene. If they could find it and remove our rebellious nature, we could all be sinless and perfect.
Then no one would have to be "born again" and Jesus' death would have been unnecessary.

God chose to use 11 billion years of evolution to create man and his genetic structure. Man's genetic structure is fundamentally tied to who he is - intellectually and physically. Yes, Christians believe man is also a spirit which endures forever - whether "saved" of "lost". But man's genetic structure is integral to him from a functional perspective. To dismiss a fully human genetic structure as superfluous fluff dismisses the intricacy of the process by which God brings about functioning, spirit endowed life. By aborting physically human life man enters that intricacy with unknowable results.
- Bruce Wilson said...
My wife is of the Cohanim and, even though she is not a practicing Jew, I would say she has a good claim to a valid opinion on the Holocaust : as an Ashkenazi Jew, the European branch of her family line was largely wiped out by the Nazis. All that now remains of these relatives are scattered photos.
"Would it be too far to call Dr. Dobson's claims "blasphemous" ?" , I asked my wife.
"Well", she replied, " I wouldn't call it "blasphemous" . I don't use words like that. I'd call it "disgusting".
To reply to the commentator above, who are you referring to when you talk of those who dismiss "a fully human genetic structure as superfluous fluff" ? Who has used that description, "superfluous fluff" ? I am curious to know.
On another note :
All of human existence, by way of our invention of technology, could be interpreted as "meddling with God's plan".
Think about it - all of our human existence is predicated on such "meddling" and the only consistent course of action that would flow from such reasoning, for Christians who held "meddling" to be sinful or at least undesirable would be to shed all clothing and wander into whatever remants of wilderness such as they could find to seek to live without any tools and technologies whatsoever.
Such "Edenists" would eschew all human contrivance. They would only drink from streams ( polluted or not ) and eat only fruits and nuts plucked from trees and consume only those animals and insects which could be caught with bare human hands.
In winter, these "Edenists" would not light fires - for that would be human contrivance, or "meddling".
In short, they would not "be fruitful and multiply" - they would perish.
God's plan ?
Another way of looking at this involves the simple observation :
God endowed humans with the brainpower, inclination, and ability to make tools, and technology.
Thus, birth control is very much part of "God's Plan", and those who would reject birth control can be rightly viewed as hypocritical, or at least inconsistent, if they do not shed their clothes and return to a short but perhaps educational "Edenic" existence.... Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Convention included.
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
Snoofy & Bubba,
I remember reading that we share somewhere around 95% of our genetic code with other primates.
What makes the rest of our genetic structure sacrosanct? Do we share that other 5% with God?
What makes a handful of cells in a petri-dish my "brother in humanity"?
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
Hours old newborns aren't sitting in petri dishes.
There's a world of difference between a fully grown baby and a fertilized egg.
- Jim said...
I wouldn't call it a "world of difference" Bruce, just several months.
Where is the line Bruce? Babies can feel pain, hear, and move while they're in the womb. So, where's the line. Your argument here is weak at best.
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
You're argument is more extreme than Dobson's.
Even Dobson admits that teh embryos from which stem cells are harvested feel no pain.
- Greek Shadow said...
If you are going to argue over these fertilized eggs, the argument shouldn't be over the stem cell usage, but the fact that they exist at all. They are what is left over from invitro fertilization. After those who had them harvested, either gave up conception or concieved and they are now no longer needed. In short the potential life is frozen and will be tossed out. If there is infanticide taking place it not done by stem cell research, but by the process of trying to make infertile couples parents. Stem cell research is just the scientific attempt to make this byproduct useful and not letting their genetic material go to waste.
If Dobson were to be consistent then he should be advocating the end of test tube babies and the dreadful toll on fertized eggs that are either rejected or unused and then destroyed. But how would he face infertile couples and tell them that to concieve artificially is sinful and the equivalent of genocide? He would be exposed for the narrow minded Pharisee he really is.
- Snoofy said...
I?m not talking about ?meddling with God?s plan.? I?m talking about what it means to be human.
In the material world we identify what something is by its material makeup. A hydrogen atom, for example, has one proton and one electron. In the plant and animal kingdom we identify what something is by its genetic makeup. You think to identify what something is by it functional capability. But that thinking fails because immature forms of a species never function like an adult. You wish to abort human life in its earliest forms and believe it has no value because it does not have mature capabilities. But that does not negate the fact it is an early form of an individual of the human species in a biological sense.
Sometimes we have to use a God given common sense of right, a natural law argument, as a moral guide (regardless of how irrational this approach may appear to become when put in the hands of the Pope). I knew a boy who took his gun and went out to a pond and shot about thirty frogs and left them to rot in the sun. They were just frogs, he wasn?t killing people, but it still struck me as a senseless act. Similarly the image of a doctor with gloved hands and forceps tearing apart a fetus in the womb makes us shiver with the thought. Though certainly not as graphic, the idea of giving genesis to thousands of biological humans and then dissecting them, even if in a very rudimentary stage of development, seems to me somehow not right. If knowledge of the embryo?s biological identity doesn?t give you pause, or even just a tiny weenie bit of doubt, then your sensitivities are simply on a different wavelength than mine.
- Bruce Wilson said...
I look at this all rather differently:
First of all, I'll add my wife's first reaction to Dr. Dobson's position equating stem cell research with Nazi experimentation on concentration camp victims. [ My wife's father's parents were Jews who escaped from Nazi Germany and thus she was made possible ].
Her initial reaction to Dobson's claim was - well - unprintable. Her second reaction ?
"That's insane".
But I would also note that many who oppose abortion and even stem cell research nonetheless extol the wonders of medical technology at extending and preserving human life ( or just keeping a brain-dead Terri Schiavo breathing ) :
How are such applications of technology not "meddling with God's plan" ?
The use of contraception - according to Alfred Mohler, head of ther SBC - amounts to "meddling" with God's design, but how doesn't all human technology then amount to "meddling" ? .
Mohler extends the illogic a bit further : simply not marrying early enough and failing to produce children from wedlock is a type of "rebellion" against God.....
So , by that logic, antibiotics, medical technology, toaster ovens and televisions, nuclear weapons, firearms - all the fruits of the last 500 years of scientific and technological discovery - amount to "meddling".
Or not because - after all - God gave us brains and the inclination to invent.
Further, even our ability to witness the development of foetuses in utero is the result of "meddling". The Medieval Catholic Church ( correct me if I am wrong on this, Dr. Prescott ) did not sanction abortion because it held that the human soul only entered the body of infants in the womb when those began to stir and kick.
Following Mohler's reasoning, why acknowledge the artificial distinction of fertilization ? Why ( or why not ) wouldn't avoidance of childbearing be a sin" ?
Further, if the destruction of potential human life was the goal, it would follow that female ova should all be extracted at puberty and frozen rather than chance accidental egg-destruction during menstruation, and males would be legally compelled to contribute their entire sperm production, day in and day out, to personal sperm banks held for the production of the maximum number of children possible.
When males and females married, the ( theocratic ) state would compell the implantation of fertilized eggs from the repsective individual sperm and egg banks. The goal would be to require continual pregnancy for the wife until death.
And, if artificial wombs were contrived, well - the better to produce more babies.
Would that glorify God ? It would certainly maximize human life. Do greater numbers of living humans glorify God more than fewer ?
- Jim said...
I didn't say that fertilized eggs feel pain.
I see that you did avoid my question, though.
Where is the line, Bruce.
When is it okay to kill the child (or cells, as you call them)?
- Jim said...
... and when does it become wrong to kill them?
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
You made the leap from stem cells to abortion. I didn't.
You've also ignored the thrust of Bruce Wilson's argument. If fertilized human eggs are fully human, then God designed a system that is extravagantly wasteful and cruel to human life. By natural processes, literally millions of fertilized eggs of never come to full term.
Something is wrong with any logic that presumes to know a morality higher than God's.
- Jim said...
Again you have ignored the question and put up a false premise to attack. I have not said that a fertilized egg is "fully human." If I have, please point out those words for me.
My argument is that human fertilized eggs are human life. You may say monkey have a similar dna structure, but the last I heard is that humans and primates cannot procreate. So, there is something that makes humans distinct... genetically as well as spiritually.
Human fertilized eggs are human and they are living. My Baptist and Christian heritage celebrates and upholds the sacredness of all life... especially human life.
Now, as regards to my earlier question that you have avoided twice. When does it become okay to destroy the cells, child, baby (whatever you want to call it)?
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
Bubba = D.R.
I'm through discussing anything with you.
Post on your own blog.
I'm just going to delete everything you write --without bothering to read it.
- Dr. Bruce Prescott said...
You've ignored the response that Bruce Wilson gave which is more than adequate to address your question.
If potential to become human is your criteria, all ova and sperm share that characteristic.
You are proving the points that Bruce Wilson was making.
- Jim said...

To reach the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge goal, the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) is supporting research to lower the cost and improve the performance of power electronics.
Vehicle power electronics primarily process and control the flow of electrical energy in electric drive vehicles, including plug-in electric vehicles. They also control the speed of the motor, and the torque it produces. Finally, power electronics convert and distribute electrical power to other vehicle systems such as heating and ventilation, lighting, and infotainment. Power electronics components include inverters, DC/DC converters, and chargers (for plug-in electric vehicles).
An inverter is needed in an electric drive system to convert the DC energy from a battery to AC power to drive the motor. An inverter also acts as a motor controller and as a filter to isolate the battery from potential damage from stray currents.
VTO's research and development in power electronics focuses on improving inverters. Researchers are working to reduce inverter volume by a third, reduce part count by integrating functionality, and reduce cost. Today's vehicle power electronics utilize silicon-based semiconductors. However, wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors are more efficient and can withstand higher temperatures than silicon components. As such, they offer a significant opportunity to meet 2022 program targets. The two most commonly used WBG materials are silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). The ability to operate at higher temperatures can decrease system costs by reducing thermal management requirements.
Achieving the 2022 targets for power electronics will require advances in several areas, including device packaging, innovative power module designs, high-temperature capacitors, and new inverter designs. Device packaging and innovative power module designs can eliminate existing interface layers and provide cooling at or very near the heat sources. Improved capacitors can reduce inverter cost and volume, and enable higher temperature operation. New inverter designs can reduce part counts and enable modular, scalable components.
DC/DC Converters
DC/DC converters are used to increase (boost) or decrease (buck) battery voltages (typically 200 V to 450 V) to accommodate the voltage needs of motors and other vehicle systems. If the vehicle electric motor design requires higher voltage, such as an internal permanent magnet motor, it will require a boost DC/DC converter. If a component requires lower voltage, such as most vehicle systems (lighting, infotainment), it will require a buck DC/DC converter that reduces the voltage to the 12V to 42V level.
On-Board Chargers
Onboard vehicle chargers convert AC energy from the electrical grid to DC energy required to recharge batteries. Battery chargers for plug-in electric vehicles are currently based on proven, traditional, high-frequency charger circuits and can be located either on the vehicle or off board, as part of a DC fast charger. Additionally, researchers are investigating on-board concepts that integrate the charging function into the existing power electronics and utilize the inductance of the electric motor for recharging. As with other power electronics, chargers must have a small physical footprint, be lightweight, and offer high efficiency and high reliability at low cost.
VTO Power Electronics R&D
The Power Electronics and Electrical Power Systems Research Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is leading research in wide bandgap integration, device packaging, and innovative power module designs. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are focused on improving the reliability of power electronics. Industry co-funded research is ongoing in the areas of advanced inverters (including WBG devices) and high temperature, low-cost capacitors.

Obama Plans Intelligence Surveillance Reforms, Aides Say
WASHINGTON — President Obama is preparing a package of intelligence reforms that will probably put a public advocate for the first time in the secret court that approves surveillance practices and remove a controversial telephone records database from direct government control, aides said.
With plans to unveil the changes days before the State of the Union address on Jan. 28, key presidential advisors are looking skeptically at a separate proposal to require a federal judge to approve each use of a "national security letter" except in emergencies, however.
Law enforcement officials issue the letters, a little-known form of administrative subpoena that doesn't require a warrant, to secretly compel disclosure of otherwise private customer records by Internet providers, financial institutions, telephone and credit companies, and other services and organizations.
The FBI has issued more than 123,000 such letters for people in or from the U.S. since 2004, federal records show, including more than 15,000 in 2012, the last year for which data are available.

The love potion for impotent men is still misunderstood, says sex therapist Anna Kingsley
It doesnt produce an instant erection
There needs to be sexual contact to kick-start Viagra into action. You cant just watch telly in the kitchen and wait for your chap to call you when hes ready. It takes two to tango, remember.
He still needs to fancy you
Many women complain that chemically induced sex isnt the real thing. But Viagra doesnt affect desire it doesnt skyrocket a mans sex drive or arouse him. Hes still got to find you a turn-on for the pills to work.
Women benefit too
Viagra cant turn men into great lovers poor communication and poor technique will never be fixed by pill. Nevertheless, 50 per cent of women whose partners take the drug say their sex life has improved, a third claim they feel more emotionally intimate, and one in five say the drug has saved their relationship.
You may find that it changes the nature of your sex life
If youve been focusing on other things to distract yourselves from his impotence, you may lament a reduced emphasis on oral sex or foreplay once his erection returns. Some women feel compelled to have sex on demand because they dont want to let their partner down or waste a pill. Others find the new pressure to be sexual takes some getting used to.
Be careful what you wish for
Viagra drastically shortens the time between climaxing and achieving another erection. Men may think thats a plus, but not all women want an interminable sex session. Prolonged intercourse, particularly without sufficient lubrication, can do damage. It can lead to vaginal abrasions and even tearing, and can expose a woman to risk of getting yeast infections.
It can take a bit of planning
Viagra is most effective if taken an hour before having sex. Wait at least half an hour so that the medication can work. And avoid grabbing a burger first: a high fat content in his blood will slow down its effectiveness. Steer clear of too much booze or he may faint or get dizzy. Dont let him take Viagra more than once a day and dont bother taking it yourself it doesnt boost a womans sex drive.
There are many alternatives
Newer drugs such as Levitra and Cialis work on the same principle as Viagra, but they work faster and last longer (Cialis works for 36 hours, Viagra for four). Natural remedies include ginkgo biloba, ginseng and reflexology.
Its not for everyone
Viagra works for about 80 per cent of men, but its important to note that you mustnt take it if youve got certain heart conditions, and it can interfere with various medications for cholesterol and high blood pressure. Get the once-over from your GP before taking it; bypassing the doc and buying it online or through friends is illegal, not to mention risky.
You can get it on the NHS
Your GP can write a prescription if you have diabetes, kidney trouble, MS, Parkinsons, prostate surgery or some forms of cancer.

Capstone Project: Masters in Sustainability (MA/MS)
The sustainability capstone is a core requirement of the graduate program in sustainability (M.A. and M.S.). Students are expected to work with the instructor and community partner(s) throughout the duration of the course.
The capstone project integrates the skills and knowledge students have learned in their coursework and demonstrates student competence for prospective employers. Students have the flexibility to define their own project, but the project work is subject to the standards set by the faculty member supervising your work. While the capstone project occurs at end of your graduate studies and is designed to synthesize your cumulative knowledge and skills, it never hurts to start thinking about your project early. You can begin tailoring your research in other classes to fit an area of interest that may inform your final project. If you have trouble defining your own capstone project, the instructor may be able to help find a project for you.
The capstone project will be a two semester-long research project, culminating in a project report in the style of academic journal paper, and a presentation to the class. The first semester (Capstone I) is dedicated to defining and planning the project. The second semester (Capstone II) focuses on executing the project and documenting findings. Typically, students register for Capstone I in the semester before their last semester in the program. Capstone II is normally taken in the final semester of the program.

Jersey Shore
Yikes: Deena Nicole Has a Bikini Malfunction in Seaside (PHOTOS)
She just wouldn't be our little Deena Nicole if she didn't have some nip-slips, cooka-slips, butt-slips, you-name-it-slips a few times per season on Jersey Shore.
The bubbly meatball, who, by the way, is looking like a lean meatball these days, had a slight bikini malfunction while splishing and splashing on the beach in Seaside Heights yesterday (June 20). Gotta be careful picking those wave-induced wedgies, homegirl!
But hey, a little beach bummer like this one won't get Deena down. By the looks of her smiling face, we're sure the day was nothing short of a good time.
Deena and the Jersey cast are currently filming Season 6 in Seaside.

Filming at the Extreme edge
Sailing an Extreme 40 is hard enough. Imagine what it is like for the cameramen who go on board these highly unstable platforms and try to record broadcast-standard film while the boats are hammering along or doing handbrake turns. Ed Gorman finds out more.
Over the years, the cameramen from the Extreme Sailing Series™ official broadcast partners, Sunset+Vine|APP, have produced some of the most breathtaking film ever recorded of sailing boats at speed or turning upside down or crashing into each other.
This is clearly not a job for the faint–hearted and filming mountain ascents in alpine conditions aside, it is hard to think of another sporting environment that demands more from cameramen than the Extreme Sailing Series fleet at full throttle.
Ralph Hewitt has been working as a film editor and an on board cameraman at the Series for the past three years and knows what it is like trying to operate at the sharp end. From his descriptions about working conditions on board an Extreme 40, you get the sense that he needs about four pairs of hands and two pairs of eyes just to get the job done. Watch here as Alinghi narrowly avoid capsize and Oman Air t-bone Realstone in Singapore 2014.
In light airs it is a case of trying to keep out of the way of the sailors. But as the breeze builds and the boat becomes ever more unstable, Hewitt, 28, has to concentrate on hanging on, trying to keep his camera out of the spray, moving from one side of the boat to the other as required, keeping an eye out for what manoeuvre might be coming next while all the time trying to focus on what he should be filming.
"When it becomes particularly tricky is when the boat is bearing away when it's windy (going from upwind to downwind)," he said. "Like the rest of the crew, you have to run to the back of the boat to get all the weight at the back end. Rather than being able to look down the camera and know what I am filming in that situation, I've got quite good at guessing, or holding the camera in a position that you know will be catching the action."
Occasionally Hewitt has found himself literally hanging on waiting to end up in the water with his camera, something that has not yet happened, although he came close to it on board Groupe Edmond de Rothschild during a race at Cardiff in 2012 when the boat tipped up alarmingly but recovered.
"We went round the mark and the hull started going up which wasn't anything out of the ordinary," recalled Hewitt. "I was at the point where I started to think 'this is going up a bit more than usual' and then it kept on going. At that point I had one hand on the trampoline and my feet had slipped down because I couldn't stand up anymore. So I was dangling with one hand and I had the camera in the other. I found myself wondering not what would happen if we went in the water, but what I should be filming – do I look down or up at the sailor above me screaming."
Hewitt enjoys trying to convey the excitement of the racing but he says it is hard to get across on film just how dramatic the moments of acceleration are when the catamarans respond to a puff of breeze and jump into action. "When you are sitting there and the boat catches a good gust, the acceleration is incredible," he said.
The producer and director of APP's coverage of the Extreme Sailing Series, Jonathan Edwards, is full of praise for the work that his on board cameramen do in difficult conditions. "It's a rough gig," he said. Edwards believes that a real understanding of the sport they are covering – like the top football or rugby cameraman – is at the heart of good coverage. "These guys know where the action is. They've got a feel for it, they know what's happening," he said.
He believes the Stadium Racing concept makes the Extreme Sailing Series Acts easier to follow and easier to present on film than some other sailing championships. "Of course the Stadium Racing concept is the beauty of the Extreme Sailing Series," he said. "You have a start, you have marks back and forth so the courses are quite compact. It's not like following an offshore race where it is virtually impossible to get any sense of the race because it is too vast to cover. So this format lends itself to filming."
And how does Edwards sum up a regatta well-covered? "For me personally," he said, "it's covering the race well, conveying the story in images – with what we put on screen and what we say in commentary and with our onboard mics – so that people at home, whether they like sailing or don't know much about it, get a sense of the race, and the sportsmanship and skill of the sailors involved. To me that is a programme well done."
Hewitt likes the challenge of getting in close to the drama on board as sailors fight for glory with often only inches to spare as they manoeuvre their boats in confined spaces at speed. "When I'm editing I always look for a sense of actuality about it," he said. "So you can actually hear the sailors screaming and you can hear what's going on on board. Then you are getting really close to the action in a way that gives a perspective that you wouldn't get from filming only from the shore."

I am working on the book Causal Inference (Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2015) with my colleague Jamie Robins.
The book provides a cohesive presentation of concepts of, and methods for, causal inference. Much of this material is currently scattered across journals in several disciplines or confined to technical articles. We expect that the book will be of interest to anyone interested in causal inference, e.g., epidemiologists, statisticians, psychologists, economists, sociologists, other social scientists… The book is geared towards graduate students and practitioners.
We have divided the book in 3 parts of increasing difficulty: causal inference without models, causal inference with models, and causal inference from complex longitudinal data. We will make drafts of selected book sections available on this website. The idea is that interested readers can submit suggestions or criticisms before the book is published. If you wish to share any comments, please email me or visit us on Facebook (user causalinference).
Follow the links below to access different parts of the book:

Bellator boss: Straus vs. Curran trilogy trumps 'Pitbull's' tournament win
During a conference call previewing the upcoming tenth installment of Bellator MMA, promotion president Bjorn Rebney discussed why he made the decision to go with the trilogy instead of selecting the man who rightfully earned his spot by defeating Justin Wilcox.
"I've got to analyze everything. I had to weigh and balance the power of the trilogy, I had to look at their first fight, Pat knocked out Daniel, and in the second fight Daniel ground out the W. As I look at those two guys and I look at Pitbull, I see, in my mind, and we can debate this stuff until we're blue in the face, but I see, in Straus and Curran, two of the top five or six featherweights on the face of the Earth. So to have the opportunity to settle this once and for all, to have a legitimate trilogy fight between one guy who has won by knockout and guy who, in typical Daniel fashion, ground out a victory, it's a good opportunity. And I've got to weigh and balance the Pitbull issue as well."
With the announcement of Eddie Alvarez vs. Michael Chandler 3 going down on pay-per-view (PPV), the decision to go with a third fight in the featherweight division makes sense. But to keep someone like "Pitbull" out of action in favor of going back to a bout that was recently decisive in nature, not so much.
So what is next for "Pitbull," according to Rebney?
"'Pitbull' fought for us five times on Spike in 2013. He's a world-class fighter as well.To be super clear, Pitbull hasn't lost his world title fight. Pitbull will get his world title fight. He's just going to get it this spring against the winner of Straus vs. Curran when we finalize that trilogy."

The only limits artists have is their imagination (right?)
Let's face it, part of the fun of being an artist/writer/musician is being able to do whatever the hell you want. After all, if we wanted people telling us what to do, we would have become an accountant or a manager at Taco Bell.
But what if this freedom as an artist really nothing more than an illusion?
I mean of course we have the freedom to paint, write, or record whatever we want; but if our art is too personal, then it becomes meaningless to anyone other than ourself. The piece is no longer an expression of artistic freedom, but simply an exercise in self-gratification.
But isn't art all about freedom?
In our society, we seem to have this image of the artist as some counter-cultural rebel. The artist is seen as this person who lives outside of society and is therefore not subject to it's restrictive rules. As artists we are expected to stretch the boundaries, push the envelope, and break the rules.
The obverse of this freedom is that your work is so meaningless, so fully for yourself alone, and so worthless to the world, that no one except you cares whether you do it well, or ever. ~Annie Dillard
The irony here, of course, is that it's "the man" who has usually got the money to buy your art.
So perhaps we need to revise the above statement and say that artists have the freedom to do whatever they want as long as they aren't expecting to get paid for it.
It's the mainstream that supports the fringe
If you think about it, it is the millions of "normal people" who make Lady Gaga a star. In order to be commercially successful (i.e. sell your stuff for actual money) you need to appeal, at least to some degree, to the mainstream. Not only that, but once we create a public image for ourselves as an artist, we need to maintain that image or risk alienating our audience.
We see this all the time with musicians and authors with the so-called sophomore slump. Either their newest release is too much like their previous work and it's seen as the same-old-same-old, or they end up alienating their fans by putting out something that is completely different from what their fans expect.
An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in dark—that is critical genius. ~Billy Wilder
As cultural consumers, we naturally crave the comfort and familiarity of our favorite artists/authors/musicians and we have this tendency to resist when they attempt to grow and evolve as artists. Some of you might recall that Bob Dylan got booed off stage the first time he showed up with electric guitars in his band. In other words, as an audience we want the comfort of getting more of the same, while as artists, we are constantly trying to reinvent ourselves and our work.
It's of course a no-win situation because if we appear to be catering our work to our audience, we are seen as "selling out"; but if we dare to follow our work where our inspiration takes us, we risk losing our audience completely. This has happened countless times with artists, authors, and musicians who have strayed too far from their chosen genre and watched as their sales dropped dramatically.
So where do we draw the line?
How do we know when we have crossed that fine line between following where our inspiration leads, and going to that place where no one else cares about? Where exactly do we draw that line between following our personal path and creating what others actually want to read, hear, and see? When does our Art stop being an act of creation and turn more into an act of production?
If you want to make money writing, write for those people who move their lips when they read ~Don Marquis
In other words, do we really want to do what it takes to become a commercially successful artist?
What if we don't want to become the next James Patterson, Nora Roberts, or Thomas Kinkade? What if we don't want to follow a successful "paint-by-numbers" formula, even if it could potentially mean wealth and fame for us as an artist?
Who exactly are we creating our art for?
Sooner or later, we have to ask ourselves who we are creating our art for? Are we creating our work in order to sell it, or are we using our art as a tool to develop and evolve as an artist? Is it even possible to do both at the same time?
In the end, what good is perfecting our craft if no one else cares about it?
How many loaves of bread can we buy with our "self-respect" as an artist?
Is there a difference between giving your audience what they want and "selling out"
Finally, is "selling out" better than not selling anything at all?
Tell us what you think . . .
Wait, there's more!

Jewelry Corkboard Tutorial
I love how my fabric jewelry cork board turned out soooo much that…
I decided YOU ALL need to make one too! It's THAT easy!
Here's a list of the materials you will need:
*Roll of corkboard
*Picture frame – size is your choice (I used a 24×48)
*Cardboard – exact size of your picture frame
*Spray adhesive
*Fabric of your choice
*Desk stapler
I bought my cork roll at Hobby Lobby for $14.99 (using a 40% off coupon)
They lovely employee working the framing section cut my cardboard for me to match the size of my frame. It only cost $2.50.
I went with a custom picture frame because they were half off when I was there and because you will not need the glass part of the frame anyway. Frame was $$35.00 (after applying the half off).
All you need to do is roll out the corkboard and cut it to the same size as the cardboard.
Then take your spray adhesive and spray the cardboard. Glue your cork board to the cardboard. I also used some glue cement because the spray adhesive wasn't as sticky as I wanted.
Cut your fabric so that you have about 1 inch on each side of the cork board. You will need the extra so you can wrap it. I went ahead and ironed my fabric so that it was nice and sleek.
Wrap your cork board/cardboard combo in the fabric. Pull as tight as you can and use a stapler to secure it. I just used a regular desk stapler (one that opens up). I have a heavy duty stapler, but the staples were too big and went all the way through. Make sure your staples aren't poking through in the front. It's not a pretty look. And it hurts.
Insert your cork board in to the frame. It should fit perfectly since the cardboard was cut to fit the opening. I used small finishing nails to hold it in place.
There you have it…a fun jewlery board with a little bit of style!
You can get decorative push pins to use to hang your necklaces. I haven't hung mine just yet, but it's finally in my closet and holding my jewelry
Now go make yours!!

From Wikiquote
Quotes about Sadomasochism:
- "What all these people are doing is not aggressive; they are inventing new possibilities of pleasure with strange parts of their body - through the eroticization of the body. I think it's...a creative enterprise, which has as one of its main features what I call the desexualization of pleasure."
- Quote in Aldrich, Robert and Wotherspoon, Gary (Eds.) Who's Who: In Gay and Lesbian History from Antiquity to World War II (2001), in reference to S/M.
- In principle there is a difference between violence which is incidental and violence which is inflicted for the indulgence of cruelty. The violence of sadomasochistic encounters involves the indulgence of cruelty by sadists and the degradation of victims. Such violence is injurious to the participants and unpredictably dangerous. I am not prepared to invent a defence of consent for sadomasochistic encounters which breed and glorify cruelty . . . . Society is entitled and bound to protect itself against a cult of violence. Pleasure derived from the infliction of pain is an evil thing. Cruelty is uncivilized.
- Lord Templeton, Judgement in the Operation Spanner case
- [N]o one appeared to wonder whether this S-M proliferation was a lesbian copy of a faggot imitation of patriarchal backlash against feminism.
- Robin Morgan, "The Politics of Sado-Masochistic Fantasies", in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 235.
- Sadomasochism has always been the furthest reach of the sexual experience: when sex becomes most purely sexual, that is, severed from personhood, from relationships, from love. It should not be surprising that it has become attached to Nazi symbolism in recent years. Never before was the relation of masters and slaves so consciously aestheticized. Sade had to make up his theater of punishment and delight from scratch, improvising the decor and costumes and blasphemous rites. Now there is a master scenario available to everyone. The color is black, the material is leather, the seduction is beauty, the justification is honesty, the aim is ecstasy, the fantasy is death.
- Susan Sontag, "Fascinating Fascism" (1974), The New York Review of Books (1975-02-06), reprinted in Under the Sign of Saturn (1980), p 105.

Parfaits are such an adorable treat. The presentation of the layers and toppings is so nice, I almost feel bad digging my spoon in and messing up the natural design. But for these pumpkin parfaits from Six Sisters Stuff made with cottage cheese and pumpkin puree, I don't think I'll think twice. Top the recipe off with vanilla wafer cookies and light whipped cream, and you have a quick and tasty snack.
