Parenthood Promiscuity
corrupting your community,
America, and the world.
John Pisciotta, Director of Pro-Life Waco
Using Planned Parenthood's own words and
deeds, this page unmasks their agenda for children
as the "Celebration of Fornication."
Planned Parenthood organizations operating in our communities are affiliates (franchisees) of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) headquartered in Washington. PPFA in turn is an affiliate of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) headquartered in London. "Birds of a feather flock together." These birds are dangerous, vile, and have a strategy for remaking human society in ways that extinguish all vestiges of Christian sexual morality. Their stance on sexuality -- "anything goes at any age" -- strikes at the heart of family life. With family decline, children lose their nurturing environment for spiritual growth and society loses its foundational building blocks. This web page exposes the sordid reality of Planned Promiscuity at all levels.
To help keep this disturbing information in perspective, I present my conclusions about Planned Parenthood now. Click here to see Planned Parenthood's 10-Point Agenda for Children.
What follows is almost unbelievable material that unmasks Planned Parenthood schemes to capture our children and grandchildren. When I think I have understood how bad this organization is, they always surprise me and reveal they are even worse. In deceptive statements, Planned Parenthood may claim to promote abstinence. In reality this wolf in sheep skin promotes promiscuity and its own profit and power.
I have come to believe that promotion of promiscuity is more central to the "DNA" of Planned Parenthood than abortion. Going back to its founder, Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood has always promoted free sex and attempted to melt away the roles of parents and religion. Abortion can be seen as a pernicious outgrowth of the corrupted belief that promiscuity can be lived without difficult consequences. Moreover, to the extent that Christians can turn themselves and others from promiscuity to chastity, abortion fades away. As self-giving love, commitment, and marriage strengthen, the holocaust recedes.
This web page contains a lot of content and the content will be outside the comfort zone for most of you. I suggest you read through the page and check out some of the links. Come back for additional eye-opening doses later. Do come back. We did not jump into the pro-life movement to live lives full of comfort and tranquility.
Illegal actions by Planned Parenthood are not topics of this page. In recent months and years, likely criminal activities of Planned Parenthood affiliates have received much needed attention. As related to children, illegal actions of Planned Parenthood include facilitating underage sex (statutory rape), facilitating child prostitution, and circumventing abortion laws requiring parental notification or consent. These topics are worthy of your attention and action. What you will find below are the pathetic Planned Parenthood initiatives to children that are within the bounds of current civil law but far outside the bounds of moral law as revealed by the Bible and by nature.
The label Planned Parenthood gives to its "just do it" approach to teen and pre-teen sex is "comprehensive sex education." An excellent presentation and critique of comprehensive sex education is "The Failure of Sex Eduction" by Barbara Defoe Whitehead, which appeared in The Atlantic Magazine. You may want to read it (here) before going on to the degrading ways that Planned Parenthood evangelizess for comprehensive sex education.
What you will see on the other pages of Planned Promiscuity (accessible through the navigation panel in the upper right corner of this page) is Planned Parenthood materials that shockingly promotes promiscuity at all three organizational levels––international, national, and local affiliates. For each, you will find links to numerous print, internet, and video publications.
To give you a foretaste of this distasteful material, I offer one link now for each level.
International Planned Parenthood Federation released in 2010 Healthy, Happy, and HOT, a booklet guiding HIV-positive youngsters in promiscuous lives. Here is my brief summary of disturbing and dangerous points made by IPPF.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America offers a how-to website for teens promoting anything goes sex. Here a junior high boy asks if it's okay to view pornography. PPFA suggests the more positive word "erotica" and gives its blessing to the youngster as long as he keeps his grades up.
Our own Planned Parenthood Waco is the example at the affiliate level. At its annual youth conference called Nobody's Fool, Planned Parenthood has given to children the book It's Perfectly Normal. Here is a page of drawings of boys and girls from the book. I have placed cover-up spots on the pictures so I cannot be accused of distributing pornography.

Production of Compound Oligopeptide Localized in DPRK
| Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- The Foodstuff Institute under the State Academy of Sciences in the DPRK has succeeded in developing compound oligopeptide with locally available raw materials.
Compound oligopeptide, one of the bio-active substances, helps prevent cancer and fatness and supplement calcium to human body.
The institute made the substance with raw materials abundant in the country and easy to be processed.
Products mixed with this substance are considered to be efficacious for recovering from fatigue, controlling body weight and restoring and activating muscles.
Compound oligopeptide is absorbed into human body over 16 times faster than amino acid.
Nutrients and drinks made of the substance won high appraisal at the exhibition of scientific achievements held by the State Academy of Sciences last year.

'Dancing With the Stars': Maksim Chmerkovskiy says his outbursts are the only ones SFWAdd to Favorites | Dancing With the Stars
"DWTS" loves to show the more, let's say, "difficult" moments from rehearsals in their packages. They certainly like to show pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy more than most. His partner Melissa Gilbert seems to get along very well with him, and Maks seemed a bit annoyed by the whole thing on the press line after the Week 6 show.
"I could get mad, I could be upset about this but actually I think what's happening is that no one else's negative moments are light enough for TV," he says. "Mine are the lightest that you can broadcast, all the others... It's like we can't show this on TV. So that's the story and I'm sticking with it because everyone gets frustrated. Literally this was the funnest week we never had, maybe 3 or 4% of the time we clashed, but come on - this is week 6."He says of his partner, "This woman is amazing, she's bionic. I am telling you, she has overcome so much already. We don't talk about anything or make a story in packages over things where others blow-up, and to tell you the truth this is our journey and if we are the only ones that know what that is then so be it. My conscience is clear."
"Dancing With the Stars: The Results Show" airs Tuesday night on ABC.

Man said he was near a victim of the Kern PG&E power plant implosion
The victim was severely injured in the leg
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - One man said he was near a victim of the power plant implosion Saturday morning.
Pat McNamara said he chose not look when a man was severely injured in the leg after shrapnel from the implosion flew into bystanders.
"I figured we're about 350 yards away," said McNamara. "I didn't figure a piece of material would fly that far."
McNamara said he was with a friend who tried to help the man.
"My friend came over to look at him, and he was going to put a tourniquet on him, and somebody said, 'Aw, he doesn't need a tourniquet,'" said McNamara.

What started as a mere controversy over the new land amendment bill tabled in the Ugandan parliament early this month, has evolved into a major row touching on the powers and privileges of the country's traditional kingdoms.
Indeed, the controversial land bill that has now drawn President Yoweri Museveni into a sticky dispute threatening to cost him influence in regions which have all along been critical support bases of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
While the government argues that the amendment is aimed at protecting tenants from unlawful evictions, critics - chiefly the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Mutebi and his kingdom officials - accuse the government of trying to use the proposed legislation to allow "outsiders" to illegally settle on their land.
The case for land reform in Uganda is strong. Currently, there are four land tenure systems in the country: freehold, leasehold, customary and Mailo.
The latter is the most contentious - a creation of the colonial government's Buganda Agreement of 1900, which gave the king and chiefs thousands of acres of land to reward them for co-operating with the foreign master. A lot of this land had people living on it.
The agreement created a landed gentry and a serf class, obligating the latter to pay ground rent or a portion of their agricultural harvests to the landlords.
Previous land reforms have been half-hearted with the government choosing to postpone having to make hard decisions on this politically-sensitive issue.
A 1928 law fixed the payments to landlords, while a 1975 decree nationalised all land and abolished Mailo land tenure system. The 1998 Land Act restored Mailo, recognising the rights of both registered owners and those people who had been living on the land 12 years earlier, but ended up resurrecting the questions of duality of ownership.
With Uganda's population growing at 3.2 per cent per year, there is increasing friction between landlords who own titles to land occupied by squatters, and tenants who have lived on land for generations but have no legal title. The Lands ministry earlier this year published a list of several hundred cases of evictions that it claimed had been carried out unfairly and illegally.
The current reforms are part of the private sector competitiveness programme, a World Bank-funded initiative to modernise the country's notoriously corrupt and inefficient land registry and records system and make land transactions faster, easier and more transparent.
Officials familiar with the reform programme who spoke to The EastAfrican on condition of anonymity conceded that while the initiative contained broadly welcome reforms, political interests were trying to hijack and manipulate the reform programme to take power away from district land tribunals and transfer decision making to the minister in charge.
Wandera Ogalo, a lawyer who represents Uganda at the East African Legislative Assembly, says the proposed amendments are an attempt to unconstitutionally "usurp" power from existing district land boards and to transfer decision making to the Minister of Lands and "unrealistic" conditions which "effectively make it almost impossible to evict a defaulting tenant."
Public debate on the matter has been shrill and stained. Using its local radio and a hastily-arranged "sensitisation committee," the Buganda Kingdom has been rallying its subjects to oppose the proposed amendments to prevent its land from falling in foreign hands. Several kingdom officials point to controversial government attempts to resettle the pastoralist communities (Balaalo) on unused land in Buganda as a sign of things to come. Kingdom officials say laws already exist to protect tenants from illegal evictions and only need to be enforced.
With the government trying to mobilise support for the bill and the Kingdom opposing it, the stage was set for a confrontation which came last December in an angry letter that President Museveni wrote to the Kabaka. He wrote: "We are seeking to effectively implement the Land law of 1998 by stopping the illegal land evictions. The title of the land owner is not being cancelled? Therefore, for somebody to claim that [our land is being taken] because of this law, is to tell a lie. It is unprincipled intrigue."
President Museveni also warned cultural leaders not to get involved in the land debate since Article 246 3(a) of the Constitution bars them from engaging in politics.
"It is not the role of the Traditional Institutions to engage in that debate. All parts of Uganda, since 1986, have elected political leaders to do that job," Museveni wrote to the Kabaka.
Buganda's then Acting Prime Minister (Katikkiro), retorted in a December 29, 2007 letter to Museveni that the president was being diversionary when he accused the Kingdom of having got involved in partisan politics.
"It is not true that the Kingdom of Buganda or, indeed, our beloved Kabaka, has either joined or participated in partisan politics in breach of the Constitution," he said. "It is clear to us that land is not a partisan political issue and that the Kabaka and the institutions of the Kingdom of Buganda have a legitimate right to comment publicly about any proposed changes in the land laws of Uganda."
President Museveni's spokesman, John Nagenda, who was instrumental in the 1992 revival of the Buganda Kingdom that - along with other cultural institutions - had been banned by President Milton Obote in 1966, told The EastAfrican that the Kingdom's "confrontational style" in handling the land amendment issue was disappointing.
"The government has the capacity, which it has always had, of going straight to the people," Mr Nagenda said. "It doesn't have to go through anybody. If it is trying, as in this case, to talk to the Kabaka of Buganda and this man says I am too busy, then you just ignore him and go straight to the people. Actually, it has been a matter of protocol, if you like, and also good nature to talk to him because he is not even supposed to be political at all, just like other traditional leaders."
Buganda kingdom officials say while the Kabaka is apolitical, he is the custodian of Buganda's land and has a right to speak about land - a point the Kabaka sternly emphasised during the recent opening of the Buganda Kingdom's parliament (Lukiiko).
The debate over the proposed land reforms has raised two significant power plays. The first is over the law itself. Although President Museveni's National Resistance Movement enjoys a majority in Parliament, its failure to explain and sell the contents of the proposed amendments has forced its MPs from Buganda region into a position where they have to choose between local sentiments and national interest.
The Buganda MPs, many of them - including Vice President Prof Gilbert Bukenya, Prime Minister Prof Apolo Nsibambi (who is an ex-officio MP and leader of government business in the House) and the Attorney General Dr Kiddhu Makubuya - who all belong to the NRM, have formed a caucus to articulate a united position on the land debate but harmony does not come easy. MPs from other regions have also criticised the proposed reforms but Buganda kingdom is better organised and has been able to articulate its interests better.
Although the Cabinet signed off on the bill last year, Prof Bukenya broke ranks with his colleagues earlier this month when he criticised the Bill and said it was "hurriedly drafted without following proper procedures." The vice president's press office quickly moved to downplay the comments but they had been caught on video tape.
Prof Bukenya is not the only ruling party official in an uncomfortable spot. When the Bill was tabled before parliament by Housing State Minister Michael Werikhe, it was his fellow NRM MP, Felix Okot Ogong, a minister in Museveni's last Cabinet, who unsuccessfully tried to stay the tabling of the Bill.
Mr Okot-Ogong argued, unsuccessfully, that the tabling of the contentious bill needed to be delayed until sufficient nation-wide consultations had been done in order to avoid "polarisation and confusion in the country."
Observers, including Western diplomats, say the technical bits of the Bill need to be further explained to the public in order to generate consensus.
The second power-play carries a higher political payload. Officials close to the Buganda kingdom accuse President Museveni of trying to undermine the authority of the Kabaka.
A regional tier proposed last year in response to Buganda's request for a federal system of governance, sought to create an elected prime minister for the kingdom, breaking his hold on the day-to-day administration of his kingdom. Breaking his hold on land, kingdom officials say, would render the Kabaka powerless.

Series Notes vs. Ohio State
Opening Tips
Illinois carries a season-long five-game winning streak into Sunday's contest vs. Ohio State.
In facing No. 13 Ohio State, Illinois plays its third of four-straight games versus Associated Press Top 15 opponents.
In his last two outings vs. Michigan State and Wisconsin, Demetri McCamey combined to average 24.5 points and 9.0 assists while shooting 65.5 percent from the field and 69.2 percent from 3-point range.
After shooting 39.5 percent (145-367) from the field over a six-game stretch from Jan. 2-19, Illinois has shot better than 50 percent in four of the last six games, combining to shoot 51.2 percent (152-297) over those six games.
With its win at Wisconsin on Tuesday, Illinois became the first unranked Big Ten team to win at the Kohl Center in UW Coach Bo Ryan's nine-year tenure. It was Wisconsin's sixth Big Ten home loss under Ryan. Three of those six defeats have been to Bruce Weber's Illini (2005, 2006, 2010).
Illinois plays its ninth ranked opponent of the season on Sunday in No. 13/16 Ohio State. The Illini are 5-3 against Top 25 teams, with victories at No. 18/19 Clemson on Dec. 2, No. 24 Vanderbilt (Coaches poll) on Dec. 8, No. 25 Northwestern (AP poll) on Dec. 30, No. 5/5 Michigan State last Saturday, and at No. 11/13 Wisconsin on Tuesday.
Illinois' win over No. 5 Michigan State last Saturday marked its first victory over a top-five opponent since defeating No. 4 Louisville in the Final Four on April 2, 2005. It was the UI's first win at home over a top-five team since beating No. 1 Wake Forest at the Assembly Hall on Dec. 1, 2004.
The victories over No. 5 Michigan State and at No. 11 Wisconsin marked Illinois' first back-to-back wins over Associated Press Top-15 teams since defeating No. 9 Arizona (90-89) and No. 4 Louisville (72-57) in the 2005 NCAA Tournament. It was the first time beating back-to-back Top-15 teams during the regular season since the Illini topped No. 7 Seton Hall (87-79) and No. 7 Arizona (81-73) in December 2000. Finally, it was the first back-to-back wins over Big Ten Top-15 teams since the UI won three straight over No. 3 Indiana (70-67), No. 15 Iowa (118-94) and No. 8 Michigan (89-73) in March 1989.

The Illini rank 25th in the NCAA in 3-point field goal percentage defense (.300)
Six of Illinois' eight losses have been by less than seven points, as the Utah, Bradley, Georgia, Gonzaga, Purdue and Northwestern games were decided by a total of 22 points (3.7 avg). Illinois held a second-half lead in all six of those games.
In its 17 wins, Illinois' offense is averaging 77.6 points (1,320) on 49.3 percent shooting (447-906) and 17.3 assists (294), while in eight losses, the offense is averaging 69.1 points (553) on 39.6 percent shooting (201-508) and 14.1 assists (113).
Last Time Out
Demetri McCamey was brilliant once again, scoring a game-high 27 points while also dishing out a game-high seven assists. Mike Tisdale was the beneficiary of many of McCamey's passes and he converted, hitting 8-of-11 shots en route to 19 points. D.J. Richardson, meanwhile, scored all nine of his points in the second half.
The Illini shot 53.3 percent, topping 50 percent for the fourth time in the last six games. The Badgers, meanwhile, shot 35.7 percent and made just two field goals in the final nine minutes. Illinois also outrebounded Wisconsin 35-27, led by Mike Davis and Bill Cole, who grabbed eight boards apiece.
Illinois' strong performance resulted in Wisconsin's sixth conference home loss under Ryan. Three of those six defeats have been to Bruce Weber's Illini.

He was the leading scorer in both games, posting 15 points in the victory at Iowa and following with 22 points in the win over No. 5 Michigan State. McCamey also dominated both games with his passing, totaling a game-high seven assists vs. the Hawkeyes followed by a career-high tying 11 assists against the Spartans - the highest total in Big Ten play this year. His seven assists at Iowa led to 16 points, and his 11 assists against MSU led to 23 points, as he accounted for 54 percent of Illinois' offense against the Hawkeyes and 58 percent versus the Spartans. McCamey also tied his season high in rebounds at Iowa with seven boards.
McCamey shares the weekly honor with former high school teammate Evan Turner of Ohio State.

Hong Kong police today said they had arrested more than 1,800 people during anti-triad raids for crimes including illegal gambling and drug offences.
Almost USD 5.16 million in drugs and illicit goods was seized during the month-long operation, police said.
Officers raided some 2,600 locations including discos, massage establishments and night clubs in an attempt to curb the illegal activities of triad societies.
Hong Kong police will combat "triad personalities and their activities" by "confiscating proceeds of crime through intelligence-led and undercover operations and investigations", chief superintendent of the organised crime and triad bureau Kwok Ho-fai said in a statement.
The raids were part of an operation by Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong police.
A total of 1,813 people -- 987 men and 826 women -- aged 12 to 95 years-old were arrested.
Almost 500 of the arrested were from mainland China.

In early 2012, Grammy award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops released their studio album Leaving Eden produced by Buddy Miller. The traditional African-American string band's album was recorded in Nashville and featured founding members Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Flemons, along with multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins and cellist Leyla McCalla, already a familiar presence at the group's live shows.
Björk's Biophilia, her most interdisciplinary project to date, is a multi-media project, comprising a studio album, an app, a new website, custom-made musical instruments, live shows, and educational workshops. Björk has collaborated with app developers, scientists, writers, inventors, musicians, and instrument makers to create a unique exploration of the universe and its physical forces—particularly those where music, nature and technology meet. The project is inspired by and explores these relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic.
Nonesuch / Perro Verde Records release Ry Cooder's first live record in more than 35 years, Live in San Francisco, on September 10, 2013. Recorded in 2011 during a special two-night engagement at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, the album includes 12 songs and was produced by Cooder. The Corridos Famosos band includes Joachim Cooder on drums; Robert Francis on bass; vocalists Terry Evans, Arnold McCuller, and Juliette Commagere; Flaco Jimenez on accordion; and the ten-piece Mexican brass band La Banda Juvenil.
Over the course of 40 years as a recording artist, guitarist Pat Metheny has released album after album, each one brilliantly documenting another aspect of his unique and nearly uncategorizable musical journey. Exhibiting an insatiable creative energy, Metheny has participated in just about every avenue of modern music making that the early 21st century might offer a musician.
The Black Keys' new album El Camino will be released December 6 on Nonesuch Records. Produced by Danger Mouse and The Black Keys, the 11-track album was recorded at singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound studio in the band's new hometown of Nashville during the spring of 2011. In advance of the release, the album's first single, "Lonely Boy," will be released on October 26. Pre-orders of El Camino include an instant download

text: The user meeting is THIS Sunday, April 22, 2001, TODAY! It was delayed a week because of last Sunday being Easter. The meeting is at Ballard Godfathers, starting at 2:30PM and ending whenever everyone burns out (last meeting lasted until about 7:30PM). Ballard Godfathers is on 15th NW in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle between 61st and 62nd Street NW. We meet in the portion of the restaurant farthest from 15th NW, past he restrooms and salad bar in the back in the room where the television and video games are but generally occupy the opposite end of the room since these things can be loud and distractive. If you have anything portable you'd like a digital photo of, including yourself, I'll have a digitial cam with me and be happy to oblige. Last meeting someone brought a PDA with Linux on it, pretty cool, mostly a novelty but cool that it could be made to work. Today, 2:30PM!

So now that US Industries have woken up – and finally started realizing that producing many products is cheaper in America…
Where are the new factories going?
Turns out, a majority of them are moving right back where they came from…
The Rust Belt.
During the 80's and 90's a lot of American business followed the cattle herd mentality in migrating manufacturing to China – or the next "best" onshore location – the American South. Now I don't know if it was because at the time, Wall Street was sucking up all the smart MBAs with promises of making millions – or a failure in groupthink…
But a whole bunch of somebodies forgot to put the ancillary costs of offshoring into the equation. From lead laced toys damaging babies, to diaphanous intellectual property protections, to drywall which killed people because of the use of cheaper – poisonous chemicals… The real cost of manufacturing in China is much higher than the wage level would indicate. Thank goodness some folks finally got a clue.
The issue in the South is productivity. American productivity far surpasses that of any other country – and is significantly higher than Chinas. So while the payroll part of manufacturing in China is cheaper – the cost per completed piece is actually higher. Same issue in the South. When you start looking at where your educated workforce is…
It isn't by and large …There. Meaning productivity is again higher in those old tried and true rust belt states. Further is the cost of conservatives. That is – as long as southern conservatives are dedicated to fighting the Civil War – the number of discrimination lawsuits, and level of employee friction is going to be through the roof, hampering full productivity. Lastly – as recent laws introduced and passed by conservative red state legislatures – such as the anti-immigrant legislation in Georgia where the state's agricultural workforce was decimated…
You don't know what stupid, business killing thing they are going to come up with next. Like declaring war on your largest foreign customer.
It's early – but the "Rust Belt" right about now is looking pretty damn good.
The Revenge of the Rust Belt: How the Midwest Got Its Groove Back
We're not used to thinking of the old industrial Midwest as a beacon of good news. Just the opposite. It's Exhibit A in the story of America's economic decline — a land of hollowed-out factory towns and shrinking cities. There's an entire genre of photography dedicated to Detroit's decaying cityscape alone.
Yet, it may be time to rethink that view. Because there are signs that the heart of the rust belt may be finally shaking off its rust.
For the past thirty years or so, there have been two great running narratives about American manufacturing, both of which have been disastrous for the Midwest's economy. The first has been about the disappearing factory worker — how by shipping some jobs abroad and replacing others with machines, companies have figured out ways to produce more goods with millions of fewer employees on their assembly lines. The second narrative has been about migration — the decision by companies to move production away from once-booming industrial centers of the north, to southern states with weaker unions and lower wages.
Both of those trends, it appears, may have drawn to an end.
The first sign of hope is the bounce-back the country has seen in manufacturing employment since the end of the recession. The graph below, courtesy of a recent Brookings Institute report, shows the great plunge of U.S. factory jobs over the last three decades, from more than 19.4 million in 1979 to a little more than 11.5 million in 2010. Recently, manufacturing has staged a small comeback. Between January 2010 and December 2011, we added 350,000 jobs in the sector. It's a modest increase, but at least it's a movement in the right direction.
It's certainly possible that manufacturing is experiencing its own version of a dead cat bounce — that employment fell so low in the wake of the recession, it simply had to recover a bit, even though the sector is still effectively moribund. But there are reasons to believe that we're seeing bona fide signs of life. The auto industry has gotten healthy. Exports are increasing. And some large manufacturers, including General Electric, Whirlpool, and Ford have started bringing jobs back to the U.S. from overseas — a trend often referred to as "onshoring." These companies have discovered that with rising costs in China, it can be just as cost effective to make products here at home as overseas.
The biggest beneficiary of these trends has been the Midwest — which is something of a shock. For years, many observers have believed that if America ever experienced a manufacturing renaissance, it would happen in Dixie. States like Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee made themselves attractive to foreign manufacturers as well as companies up north, by using right-to-work laws to weaken unions and keep wages at cut-throat-competitive levels. They also offered up incentives in the form of sweet tax deals. All of this was supposed to make them the center of the future manufacturing economy.
That hasn't been the case. The graph below is from the same Brookings report I cited earlier, which contains an extensive mapping of America's industrial base, and the way its geography has shifted for the last several decades. What it shows is that, contrary to popular belief, the great flight of manufacturers to the South effectively ended at the turn of the millennium. From 2000 to 2010, manufacturing employment fell in the Midwest and South at roughly same the pace. Since 2010, the Midwestern factory employment has recovered faster than the rest of the nation's, growing by 5 percent compared to 2.2 percent in the South. It's not simply that industries clustered in the region, such as cars and heavy machinery, have come back faster than others. If the Midwest had simply regained jobs at the same rate as its dominant industries, factory employment would have only grown by 2 percent. …

IOWA CITY, Iowa The reaction says everything you need to know about Devyn Marble.
The Iowa junior was asked about not ranking among a media outlet's top 10 Big Ten basketball players. Marble, a 6-foot-7 guard, just smiled and nonchalantly scoffed.
"I've always been a guy that's been under the radar," Marble said. "I just go out there and play. I don't even know who's on the list.
"At the end of the day, I know I'm in the top whatever."
There was no anger or disappointment in his voice. No inflection whatsoever. Marble knows he's an elite player, even if others have yet to see it.
"I'm going to be the most dominant player every game, and you'll be able to tell and everybody else will, too," he said.
Marble doesn't lack for confidence. In fact, he thrives on it. He knows his father's legacy as the school's all-time scoring leader, but it doesn't faze him. Marble is his own player with his own motivations, and he's set to burst on the national scene.
Marble arrived in Iowa two years ago at age 17. He worked through the freshman grind and boosted his scoring average from 5.7 to 11.5. Marble shifted to the point for much of last season and finished fifth in Big Ten assist-to-turnover ratio. He hit big shots, like a dunk over Ralph Sampson III to help Iowa rally past Minnesota. He drilled seven consecutive 3-pointers in an NIT loss at Oregon.
But now it's about the present and making similar year-to-year strides, like climbing to 17 points a game.
"He's going to be up way above that," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said. "I'd be shocked if he wasn't. He's got a game. He's got confidence. He's got a body.
"He's not afraid of the limelight in a big game. He wants that. So he's going to have that opportunity."
Along with his scoring prowess, he also might be the team's most complete player. Sophomore Aaron White said Marble is the team's best passer and creates opportunities for everyone with his skill set.
"He's 6-6, 6-7," sophomore Aaron White said. "Who are you gonna put on him? If you put a 6-8 guy on him, he's going to go right by him. If you put a guard on him, he's going to shoot over him. I think you're going to see that this year."
Marble also has earned his opponents' respect. Michigan State's Keith Appling played against Marble in high school. Appling said Marble has matured from being a pure scoring threat to all-around playmaker.
"I never considered him to be soft in high school," Appling said. "I always considered him to be a pretty good player. He's more of a complete player. He's defending, knocking down shots. I feel like his game has gotten better throughout the course of his college years."
Penn State's Tim Frazier a returning all-Big Ten selection said Marble is the complete package.
"Obviously his height, he can dribble," Frazier said. "As far as me guarding him, he uses his height to his advantage. He's a mature player. He can drive. I'm pretty sure his jump shot is coming along as well. That will be a tough match-up."
To take that next level as a player, Marble dealt with two primary areas to shore up this off-season consistent perimeter shooting and defense. He took outside shots in the summer Prime Time League even with hands in his face to get better. His defense also received attention, including proper positioning.
"I'm at a different mental standpoint than I was last year," Marble said. "I'm mentally focused and just ready to get the season started. I've just been learning and getting better. I think you'll definitely see the difference, and you'll see another step taken this year."

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
For crust:
Combine both flours, sugar, and salt in a processor; blend for 5 seconds. Add butter; pulse until butter is reduced to pea-size pieces. Whisk egg and milk in a small bowl to blend; add to processor and pulse until moist clumps form. Gather dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill at least 1 1/2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
For filling:
Dissolve cornstarch in 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl; set aside. Combine rhubarb, raspberries, and sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and juices are released, about 4 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil (rhubarb will not be tender and slices will still be intact). Transfer to a bowl. Chill until cool, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F Roll out dough on floured parchment paper to 12" round; brush with beaten egg. Mound filling in center of crust; gently spread out, leaving 1 1/2" border. Gently fold edges of dough over filling, pleating as needed. Brush border with egg; sprinkle with raw sugar. Slide parchment with crostata onto a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Let crostata cool on baking sheet on a rack. Transfer crostata to a platter, cut into wedges, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

trash talk
By enelson
Saturday, May 12th, 2007 at 11:48 am in Caltrans, driving, Environment, Freeway collapse, Freeways, Safety.
This week I ran into two bothersome aspects of journalism that I'm not sure people outside of the business can truly appreciate.
One is the staged press event calling attention to something everyone already knows about and could very rarely meet the commonly accepted definition of "news."
Such was Tuesday morning's "launch," a word that evokes a space shot or maybe a missile exchange, of Caltrans' "aggressive statewide effort against litter."
In spite of my chauvinistic news sense, I showed up Tuesday morning at the Oak Street on-ramp to I-880, not just to witness the spectacle of legislative staffers and Caltrans District 4 Director Bijan Sartipi picking up trash, but to participate in the event with my own mechanical stick with a trigger on one end and suction-cup pincers on the other.
"You could at least blog about this," said Lauren Wonder, who runs the district's public relations office in Oakland. Wanting to be a good sport, I had sheepisly agreed a month earlier, secretly hoping that some major transportation news event would pre-empt my appearance.
So I showed up Tuesday, donned a Caltrans hard hat (they always love to see the media wearing these) and, even better, an orange vest along with the trash picker-upper-device.
Before I picked up my first candy wrapper, however, I began chatting with the director about progress with the MacArthur Maze collapse. He seemed enthusiastic about the fact that Caltrans had gotten an incredibly low bid on the project to replace the I-580 connector ramp that melted in a gasoline fire April 29.
We talked about the contractor and previous rush jobs they had completed ahead of schedule and, while I was certainly happy to write down all of this, I started to feel a bit guilty that I wasn't picking up any trash.
Finally, I picked up about 10 pieces of paper and plastic, pulled a half-buried grocery bag from the ground and returned my gear to Wonder as the Caltrans crew was packing up for a similar event in San José.
I concluded that my volunteering to pick up trash had entitled me to cash in on some good karma: Quotes for a real story from an actual Caltrans official.
As these things tend to go, I didn't blog about it on Tuesday, as a diligent blogger like Josh Richman might do. I got caught up in other things, one day led to another and then it seemed silly to blog about litter awareness more than 48 hours after the fact.
But today I noticed an e-mail from my dad, which, like many of his other e-mails, includes an article from the New York Times.
It was about littering. In California.
That brings me to my second journalistic peeve: Getting scooped in your own backyard by a bigger, more prestigious news organization by a reporter who probably makes three times your salary.
I mean, when it comes to the New York Times, I can grudgingly accept that they will get the first news tip when Hamas decides to recognize Israel. I can also put up with them breaking news like, our government was all wrong about WMDs in Iraq.
But when it comes to the deadly problem of "road debris" in Pleasanton, it's my job to own that story. But no, I was too proud to write about the litter threat. I had better things to do. Talk about karma.
So today I had to read this:
On eastbound Interstate 580 near Pleasanton recently, a rocking chair brought traffic to a near-standstill, while on southbound I-680 near Walnut Creek, a trampoline blocked two left lanes, wreaking havoc on the morning commute. Bagged loaves of sourdough bread blocked U.S. 101, near Petaluma. The highway patrol had to be dispatched.
No wonder they missed the WMD story. Doesn't the New York friggin' Times have better things to write about?
Then the gravity of the story begins to come through:
While by no means unique to California, pickup trucks and other vehicles piled high with improperly secured loads are a fact of life here, contributing — thanks to the laws of physics — to an estimated 140,000 cubic yards of road debris a year. That is enough to fill 8,750 garbage trucks, which would extend for 45 miles, said Tamie McGowen, a spokeswoman for Caltrans, the state transportation department.
Tamie! I was just in her office Monday. How was I supposed to know that a New York Times reporter was lurking behind the bookcase?
Then we come to the coup de grâce, the final insult proving that I was too stupid to realize that littering on that very Oak Street on-ramp was a world-class transportation story that USA Today would covet:
And it is increasingly hazardous, experts say.
In California, 155 people lost their lives in the last two years after accidents involving objects on highways, and states are beginning to address the issue.
Next week, a murder trial is set to begin in the death of a Los Angeles county deputy sheriff who was killed when he swerved to avoid a stolen stove that had fallen from a Long Beach man's truck.
In California and across the nation, where some freeway shoulders have come to resemble weekend yard sales, the nature of road debris has changed, and litter anthropologists are now studying the phenomenon.
One hundred and fifty-five deaths! The trial of the century! And to top it off, anthropologists have turned litter into a "phenomenon!"
So, dear readers, I apologize. I let you down. Good thing our papers subscribe to the NYT news service, so you can find a version of it on our Web site and a local story written by my more responsible Vallejo-based colleague, Sarah Rohrs. I let hubris take hold of my news judgement and must now prostrate myself before the altar of Ivy League journalism.
The next time Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol put on a litter blitz, I'll be there, well on my way to a five-part series.

Interaction with your fans on Facebook is key to being successful but if only 16% of your fans are seeing your updates how do you achieve high interaction levels?
Facebook recently launched Timeline and, as part of this, there is a whole new breed of applications called Timeline Applications. You can now develop Timeline apps that will increase these interaction levels and ensure more of your fans are talking about you and your brand.
What is a Timeline?
A timeline is a collection of stories (photos, posts, videos, events) about you or your brand mostly displayed in chronological order on your user profile or your business page (if you pin a post you can keep it at the top of your timeline for up to 7 days). It was recently rolled out to all users and business pages and, despite some complaints, it's unlikely that it's going away!
What is a Timeline app?
Timeline apps are Facebook's next generation of Facebook Open graph and they allow you to share information in real time with your friends about what you are doing. Open Graph is about Facebook opening up to interaction occurring outside of Facebook.com. In the first version of Open graph you could say you 'Like' something and this gets shared out on your Timeline. This has now been expanded to a whole new set of actions for example – Listened, Cooked, Read and Watched. You can even apply to Facebook for your own actions that suit your business.
Example of a Timeline app
Foodily is a recipe site that provides thousands of food recipes. They have a Timeline app which shares information while you are browsing through recipes. For example, if I install the app on my Timeline and browse through recipes on their website, this will get shared on my Timeline. This means my friends gets to see what recipes I've shown an interest in.
So I was browsing through foodily.com and looked at the lamb ragu as I like the odd bit of lamb from time to time:
Because I had the Foodily Timeline app installed and gave it permission to share details of my interactions on foodily.com this was shared out on my Timeline. Sharing without me having to initiate the sharing is called 'frictionless sharing'.
How can you take advantage of this?
Imagine creating your own Timeline application with some useful functionality that is associated with your brand that users really want to use and share. So now you're getting your fans to share out content relevant to your brand to their friends on Facebook.
Facebook Applications such as competition applications are still important and useful but timeline apps are certainly worth taking a look at as well. For example, If you have a restaurant you could provide videos of your Chef cooking the latest dishes and then every time someone watches a video it gets shared out to their friends on Facebook automatically, and hopefully create a viral effect. What type of timeline app could you use to promote your brand/or service?

New Castle Man Pleads Guilty In Affordable Housing Mortgage Fraud Scheme
PITTSBURGH, Pa. ‑ A resident of New Castle, Pa., pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering conspiracy, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Nicholas DeRosa, 65, pleaded guilty to three counts before Senior United States District Judge Gustave Diamond.
In connection with the guilty plea and other pleadings, the court was advised that the Lawrence County Housing Authority, under the direction of then Lawrence County Treasurer Gary Felasco, either lent or made a grant of $200,000 to Affordable Housing of Lawrence County, a then newly formed not‑for‑profit entity. Affordable Housing's purported purpose was to purchase homes, fix them up, and then rent or sell them to the elderly or disabled.
In 2004, Affordable Housing hired Robert Ratkovich, the president of New Castle City Council and a maintenance employee for the Lawrence County Housing Authority, as a consultant at $45 an hour. Ratkovich, among other things, was to search for suitable homes for Affordable Housing to purchase as part of its purported mission.
After Affordable Housing paid Ratkovich approximately $60,000 in consulting fees, Ratkovich recommended that Affordable Housing purchase seven properties. Four of those properties were owned individually or through a partnership by Mr. DeRosa. Two others were owned by his cousin, and the seventh was owned by one of his good friends. Ratkovich recommended these homes to Affordable Housing despite the availability of homes in better condition and for less money.
Affordable Housing lacked sufficient funds to purchase these homes, and therefore, through Ratkovich, it applied for a loan through First Commonwealth Bank, a federally insured financial institution. Castle Realty Appraisal Services, Inc. was hired by the bank to prepare appraisals on the properties. Anthony J. Staph, Jr., a Vice‑President of Castle Realty Appraisal Services, submitted fraudulent appraisals of the properties that overstated the values of most of the homes. At trial, the government would have presented witness testimony indicating that DeRosa, through Ratkovich, requested that the Bank hire Castle Realty. In addition, the government would have presented evidence that DeRosa made assurances to Ratkovich and Felasco that the appraisals would support the values reflected in the sales agreements and that he would take care of the appraisals.
After DeRosa received his money at the closing in December 2005, most of the Board from Affordable Housing resigned within days. Within a couple of months, Affordable Housing defaulted on the loan and Affordable Housing sold all but one of the properties through an auction without reserve. First Commonwealth received pennies on the dollar when it auctioned off the properties.
At trial, the government would have presented evidence that Affordable Housing was used as a mechanism to get money to Felasco, Ratkovich, DeRosa, and a fourth co‑conspirator. Some of the buyers of the properties, other than DeRosa himself, were required, as part of the deal for getting rid of their properties, to pay DeRosa. DeRosa was then, according to the agreement between the co‑conspirators, to distribute that money to them. None of the contemplated payments to DeRosa, however, were disclosed on the settlement statements, as required, nor were they disclosed in the Sales Agreements that were provided to the Bank. The Board of Affordable Housing was also not told about these payments. Thus, the Bank and Affordable Housing were led to believe falsely that the sales prices were actually higher than the true sales prices would have been without the payments to DeRosa.
Originally, there were to be fourteen properties that were to be purchased by Affordable Housing, but First Commonwealth would only approve a loan that would allow them to purchase seven. At trial, the government would have presented evidence that DeRosa decided which properties to purchase, and he decided how much Affordable Housing was going to pay for those houses.
The appraisals prepared by Staph contain numerous misrepresentations related to, among other things, the conditions of the properties, improvements to the properties, and the neighborhood. The appraisal for one of the properties indicates that the property is occupied, when, in fact, the property had not been occupied for years. Staph also ignored more comparable properties in order to support his fraudulently elevated values of the properties.
One of the properties was owned directly by DeRosa and his partner. The appraisal for this property was dated November 11, 2005. This property was condemned by the City of New Castle on November 21, 2005, just ten days later. According to the appraisal, however, there were no problems with the condition of this property. Staph rated the condition of this property as average and failed to note a number of severe problems with the property, including a severe problem with its foundation.
At trial the government would have presented evidence the appraisals omitted mention of accumulated trash in several of the properties. After the majority of the Board resigned, one of the few remaining officers inspected the properties and noted a huge accumulation of trash in some of the properties. The remaining officer used some of the little remaining funds from Affordable Housing to hire a company to dispose of the trash. Dumpster loads of trash were removed, but there is no mention of this issue in the appraisals despite representations that Staph had inspected the interiors of the properties.
At trial, the government would have presented the testimony of an expert appraiser and who would have opined that the appraisals prepared by Staph included a myriad of misrepresentations and vastly overstated the true values of those properties. The government would have also presented records from New Castle Code Enforcement that describe the properties in a far more negative light than the Staph representations of the conditions of the properties to the Bank.
The government at trial would have presented testimony that the Bank did not just rely, however, on the fraudulent appraisals. It also relied on the Sales Agreements that overstated the true sales prices of the properties in that they did not include the payments to DeRosa, the settlement statements that did not disclose the payments to DeRosa, and the projected financial statements for rental of the properties. The projected financial statements were based on occupancy rates that were not realistic and that the government would have offered testimony that these financial statements were known by the co‑conspirators to be unrealistic. The appraisals, however, also supported that false assumptions because they overstated the occupancy rates of the properties.
The government would also have offered testimony at trial that the projected financial statements were also fraudulent because they contained representations related to the amount of money required to repair and maintain the properties. That amount was understated because serious and expensive repairs were needed to several of these properties to make them habitable. The appraisals have a section in which the "repairs needed" are listed. The appraisals listed that no repairs were needed, which stood in stark contrast to reality.
The government would have presented evidence of the facts described above in connection with Count One of the Superseding Indictment, which charges DeRosa with Bank Fraud.
Many of these facts are also relevant to the Mail Fraud charge in Count Two of the Superseding Indictment. Basically that Count alleges that DeRosa participated in a scheme to defraud Affordable Housing. The facts already outlined here detail one aspect of the fraud of Affordable Housing, as it contributed approximately $90,000 toward the purchase of those seven properties.
In addition, with regard to the Mail Fraud scheme, the government would have presented evidence related to Ratkovich's consulting contract with Affordable Housing in which he was to be paid $45 an hour. Basically, Ratkovich received approximately $60,000 pursuant to this consulting agreement, but did not work anywhere close to the number of hours that would have been required to earn $60,000. The government would have presented evidence that a portion of the $60,000 was paid with DeRosa's knowledge, to other members of the scheme. For example, some of the money was used to pay attorneys' fees for co‑conspirators.
As part of his consulting activities, Ratkovich was tasked with locating properties for Affordable Housing to purchase. He, of course, did not do a real search for appropriate properties, but, at DeRosa's insistence, recommended that Affordable Housing purchase the seven properties referred to above. The government would have presented evidence at trial that the sales prices agreed to were not the product of arms length negotiations, but that Ratkovich simply accepted the sales prices DeRosa demanded. In addition, as discussed above, some of the sellers agreed to pay DeRosa.
Despite those facts, Ratkovich presented his recommendations to the Board of Directors of Affordable Housing as if these properties were the product of a true search, and that the sales prices were negotiated at arms length. He failed to disclose to them the true situation with these properties. Based on Ratkovich's recommendation, the Board approved the purchase of the seven properties, leading to the financial downfall of Affordable Housing.
The scheme to defraud Affordable Housing also involved receiving kick backs from a contractor in connection with rehabilitation work done by the contractor for work on a Affordable Housing property located on Cunningham Avenue, and stealing coins that Affordable Housing collected from laundry machines located in Lawrence County Housing Authority properties.
Specifically with regard to Count Two, the government would have presented evidence that in furtherance of the scheme, the closing agent sent, via federal express, a Power of Attorney document to DeRosa's partner in Florida. That Power of Attorney document was then returned and used to close the loan at issue.
As far as the Money Laundering Conspiracy charge, which is Count Four of the Superseding Indictment, the participants in the conspiracy, including DeRosa, agreed to funnel and did funnel some of the money from the above‑described schemes, through a series of transactions, to Felasco's attorney. Felasco was, at that time, facing state corruption charges. In summary, the co‑conspirators arranged for cash from the transactions to be deposited into the account of an individual who ran a business that received cash receipts. That individual then forwarded money to Felasco's attorney. The idea of depositing the money into the account of this individual was to disguise the illegal nature of the funds and its connection to them, and try to make it look like legitimate money. The financial transactions involved financial institutions involved in interstate commerce and which are federally insured financial institutions.
Ratkovich pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracies, and is awaiting sentencing. Felasco pled guilty to a tax charge based his failure to report as income on his tax returns the money paid to his attorney on his behalf. He was sentenced three years probation, including six months of home detention. On Oct. 27, 2010 Castle Realty Appraisal Services pleaded guilty to bank fraud based on its submission, through Staph, of the fraudulent appraisals. Sentencing for the company is scheduled for March1, 2011.
Judge Diamond scheduled sentencing for March 1, 2011. The law provides for a total sentence of 70 years in prison, a fine of $1,750,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorneys Brendan T. Conway and James T. Kitchen are prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Mortgage Fraud Task Force conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of DeRosa. The Mortgage Fraud Task Force is comprised of investigators from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and others involved in the mortgage industry. Federal law enforcement agencies participating in the Mortgage Task Force include the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation; the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General; the United States Postal Inspection Service; and the United States Secret Service. Other Mortgage Fraud Task Force members include the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office; the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, Bureau of Consumer Protection; the Pennsylvania Department of Banking; the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Enforcement and Investigation; and the United States Trustee's Office.
Mortgage industry members with knowledge of fraudulent activity are encouraged to call the Mortgage Fraud Task Force at (412) 894‑7550. Consumers are encouraged to report suspected mortgage fraud by calling the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline at (800) 441‑2555.
This prosecution is part of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Question by Ally B: does lemon detox work?
im trying to lose weight and i want to know if that lemon detox diet really work?
i heard that if you drink a glass of water with lemon whenever youre hungry for two days, you lose like five pounds. how?
Best answer:
Answer by sommerset
Yes, you'll lose weight if you drink nothing but water with lemon. Just like you would with pure water but it is not good for your body.
We need a fairly constant source of fuel, food, to perform all the tasks the body does without our even thinking of it. Such as keeping the heart beating, filtering our blood and making urine, recyling our red blood cells…etc. With the lack of any carbohydrate or protien, your body will go to stores of fat in your liver and start to use that as an energy source, then to the internal fat stores that your body uses to "cushion" your organs then finally to breast tissue, if you are a woman, and then to the subcutaneous fat most of us would like to lose.
So, these kinds of diets are extremely hard on the body and usually have no good long-term outcomes.
A low-calorie diet of good, high nutrient food works best. Try to keep a food diary of everything you eat…divide into sections into every food group and try to eat within those groups. I always tell people to try to make themselves eat the 5 to 6 servings of vegetable and fruits. You'll spend more of your time trying to get these in and less on the other stuff you would have eaten instead. Make a shopping list of foods that are good for you and that you like….leave out the processed, highly salted or sugared ones. Buy these and prepare thought-out meals in advance. Then make sure you're getting at least 30 minutes of exercise "most days of the week" (national institues of health reccommendation) in the fat burning heart rate zones. And, drink lots of water the help keep you hydrated! Best of luck to you!

This game..seriously if I ever get a good connection through the servers. It's ridiculous. I get a full client d/c through either web or client. I just don't understand why.
Quoted from Kashis
"I have a penis, I don't need to play as a guy to be reminded of that."
Every time you promote a crap browser game...I die a little inside.
I tried this game on a whim because it was browser based but ended up thinking it would be better as it's own download, so hopefully this might get more people on the servers.
the problem is I don't think it's Peer to Peer, but instead one person hosts the server, and we all connect to him because I cant find a match THAT doesn't lag
600$ PC (not including HD and Case since using previous one)
Windows 7 (Direct X Awesomeness)
Intel I5 2400 1355 Socket (210$)
HD 5770 x2 (got them on sale) (200$)
8 GB of Ram (60$)
PCI Sound card 7.1 (40$)
Motherboard (60$)
I have been playing this a little over the past few days it needs a few more maps a few tweaks here and there but its pretty good, as for lag I haven't really experienced much i must just be lucky in that department. I like the fact that you can buy stuff that doesn't run out in a few days more free fps should do this.

Sue's Morning Stretch: Zeroing in on the J.Crew controversy
Some things from childhood never go away.
As soon as I saw that J.Crew now had created a new size that has not one, not two, but THREE zeroes, and its reason why that size was created (the company says shoppers in Asia need smaller sizes), I just had to say, "liar, liar, pants on fire."
But I am not alone in not believing the company's claim. The social media response to J. Crew's new size was fast, furious and often funny:
People are criticizing J. Crew's size triple zero jeans but where else are ghosts supposed to get jeans?
— Wendy Molyneux (@WendyMolyneux) July 11, 2014
According to J CREW I am size 4000. #JCrew
— jann arden (@jannarden) July 11, 2014
Although really, the issue is no laughing matter, as this tweet points out:
Not OK @jcrew encouraging women to have #eatingdisorder l J. Crew hits a new low in vanity sizing insanity http://t.co/6qV82s3QzG MT @Salon
— Ivy Cohen Corp Comm (@IvyCohen) July 11, 2014
Celebrity chef Rachael Ray told the New York Daily News on Sunday that the 000 size is " the most silly, asinine thing I've ever heard in my entire life."
It does make you wonder, why this constant pressure to make females feel that being as tiny as possible is best? Yes, there are people who are naturally small. But this Size 000 doesn't convince me it was done for their shopping needs alone. Instead, it's really vanity sizing, sending females the message that they are better if they are a zero. (Calling a person a zero used to mean a loser. Now it's a status symbol. Sheesh.)
If being super tiny and having a body like a 12-year-old boy was best for females I'd be all for it. But it is not. This tremendous pressure put on females, particularly young girls, to be unnaturally thin creates all sorts of health problems.
Some 20 million U.S. females face an eating disorder at some time in their lives, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, which wasn't down with J.Crew's new sizing. "A new low in marketing which promotes poor self-esteem and dangerous weight-loss behaviors" is how the association president and CEO Lynn Grefe described it, according to a Yahoo Shine story.
It's no good for females on the other end of the spectrum, either. They see these little sizes and tiny women and know they can never get to that. So they give up before even trying to lose weight and get themselves to a healthier size.
Really, if this company needed smaller sizes for smaller females, it could just up all the other sizes. Can you imagine the outcry over that? Never gonna happen, because we've been sold this notion that littler is better.
Here's what's better. Being fit is better. Eating healthfully is better.
Starving yourself so the tag on your clothes is nothing more than zeros is not healthy, and J.Crew deserves the negative publicity it is drawing for encouraging that notion.

Oats are tasty with milk.
Everyone seems to have there oats with water so i was wondering whether its some kind of crime to have it with milk. Im young and bulking so surely its okay to have my morning oats with milk?? I could eat them with water if i had to it just makes them so bland.
oats + milk + sultanas = yummy.
I try to eat as clean as possible but i am 17 so i thought i would be able to get away with milking up my oats ;) and eating the odd bit of dark chocolate. Anyone think this is a bad idea?
Heh, that's fine. I have my oatmeal with milk and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. That way I get my combination of carbs, protein, and vitamins. Keep up the good work!
Yea nice combo man! I have my oats like that sometimes as well! Cheers man i will keep up the hard work :D
If you want some really good stuff try throwing down some coconut milk (from the can) in there. Good fats, good benefits and plenty of cals for a bulk. Plus it tastes great.
Coconut milk aye... i will have to give it a try! Do you use that instead of milk or mix it in with the milk?
Going off on a tangent here to meat products i think im going to start eating kangaroo! Im from Australia so kangaroo meat is very cheap and accessible and its like 2% fat and packed with protein!!! So it seems like a good option instead of beef.
hahah! man, im from australia too, and i rarely see kangaroo meat being sold :S. id love to try it though.
but apart from that, milk in oats is not a problem, i do it all the time.
Well im in Tasmania and yea its not really a problem buying it which is sweet. Adds a bit of variety to my diet! I shall continue having milk with my oats then!
haha dont worry man i keep to an ''odd' amount - 23 is usually my number. kidding :p
