ALL photos taken by my son. I took both my kids to the meet up today, that's just the way things worked out. It was the first time I handed over my little Olympus camera to my son, who had a field day with it.
These are all his shots.
great collection of shots !! i`m a member of a group that had a thread about people meeting up to go along to this ......................i must point them in your direction to see if you caught any of them ......................... ( they all seem fairly sane but mad at the same time ) ;-))
these are amazing!
your son did a fantastic photo documenting this epic gathering.
wish i lived closer to the action... : )
a great set! Well done to your boy! Great innocence. Wish I had started at that age, I could have been quite good by now!
Great. My friend Witold also here.
These are all so fantastic!!! Love them all! Wish we'd had more time together but so glad you could make it! You've got a budding photog on your hands : )

These are so fantastic! Hope he is encouraged to take more!
What a great job he did! I'm so glad he joined us and hope the photography bug sticks with him.
Thank you to all who have commented on Jacob's shots and who have faved them as well.
I want you to know that he has been reading each and every comment and wants to be updated when a new one comes in.
He is thrilled.
We are heading to MIami in a bit and he asked "mom did you pack my Olympus with the zoom lens"--notice how he is trying to take ownership of my Oly!
E's.....Diary--I love the "innocense" remark. I think you are quite right.

When David Epstein [3] was a high school half-miler in the Chicago area, he thought he was tougher than several teammates. They'd begin the season in better shape, but he'd gut it out and beat them in races. Now the Sports Illustrated writer wonders if he simply had a genetic advantage over his teammates. Maybe he was a "high responder" to training programs, and they weren't. That wouldn't make him tougher than his teammates--just luckier.
Epstein reached this sober reassessment as he was reading about the HERITAGE Family Study genetic research project as background for his deep, thorough May 17 Sports Illustrated story, "Sports Genes: Who has the speed gene, and who doesn't? [4]" The meticulously controlled HERITAGE research has found, remarkably, that some people can train and not get in shape. Others, the high responders, will do the exact same workouts and see their fitness and speed improve dramatically. It's an important finding, particularly for those who think that Penguins and Tortoises are slow because they're lazy slackers. That might not be the case at all; they could be training quite hard but getting little or no response to their training, due primarily to an unfortunate tangle of their DNA strands.
I've been following the genetics-of-sports story for more than 20 years, and found a lot to like in Epstein's article. It doesn't aim for sensationalism, hyper-exaggeration, or character assassination, the hallmarks of too-much magazine journalism these days, if you ask me. "I didn't want to feed into anyone's assumptions," Epstein told me a couple of days ago. "I wanted to capture the complexity of the subject. It's not just genes, it's not just culture, it's not just behavior--it's all of these things mixed in together." Mission accomplished.
In fact, I was surprised by the extent to which Epstein's treatment reads like an academic summary. I told him this, mentioning the lack of colorful, controversial quotes and personalities trying to drive home their particular slant. Epstein said that some of this was lost at the last second when SI had to cut a page from the article, a common occurrence in the mag biz. He added: "I stayed away from opinions. If someone had a certain perspective that couldn't be backed up by good studies and data, I didn't use the material."
This is a far cry from Sports Illustrated's first foray into this arena, an article dated January 18, 1971. "An Assessment of Black is Best" [5] was published in a pre-genetic and pre-politically-correct era. It's all about anatomy and slavery. From an historical perspective, it's one of my favorite articles on the topic, because the people quoted are so free with their thoughts and words. Just a few excerpts:
*** After the 1968 Olympic track competition in Mexico City, an unidentified European coach said: "If not for the blacks, the U.S. team would finish somewhere behind Ecuador."
*** The author, Martin Wade: "There is an increasing body of scientific opinion that suggests that physical differences in the races might well have enhanced the the athletic potential of the Negro in certain events."
*** Famous sprint coach Bud Winter: "The black athletes that have trained with me are far ahead of the whites in that one factor--relaxation under pressure. It is their secret."
*** Another sprint coach says: "The black athletes, you know, they hang everything loose. They walk loose, they dance loose. You see it easily in their dancing."
*** Calvin Hill, Yale grad and star running back for the Dallas Cowboys: "I have a theory about why so many pro stars are black. It all boils down to the survival of the fittest. Think of what the African slaves were forced to endure in this country merely to survive."
*** Lee Evans, 400 meter winner and world record setter at the 1968 Olympics: "We were bred for it. We were simply bred for physical qualities."
That was 1971. In 2010, David Epstein points out that the color of a person's skin says nothing about an individual beyond the color of their skin, that the chances of having all your genes lined up perfectly for endurance success are about one in a quadrillion (here's what a quadrillion looks like--1,000,000,000,000,000), and that the "new" science of epigenetics tells us that various life factors are constantly signalling our genes to turn on and off. Beyond this, even factors like motivation and toughness might be more controlled by genes than we have previously imagined.
So, why are so many Kenyans great distance runners? Is it because because they grow up at altitude, or because they have light leg bones, or because their grandfathers engaged in cattle-raids, or because they had to walk and run to school, or because they don't get enough food to grow fat, or because they have a high-lactate-threshold gene, or because running marathons is their best way to escape lifelong poverty, or because they have a motivation gene, or because adolescent circumcision turns on their toughness gene? No one knows.
Fifteen or 20 years ago, leaders in the field, like Claude Bouchard and Yiannis Pitsalidis, thought they'd have some answers by now. They believed that one or two genes would be principally responsible for great speed or great endurance. Their thinking has since changed. Currently, they believe that many genes are involved in these outcomes, and the ways that key candidate genes interact with each other and the environment are very difficult to tease out.
Another of the major players in this field is Alejandro Lucia at the University of Madrid. He's the guy who has had the great Eritrean runner Zersenay Tadesse (world record holder in the half marathon) in his lab and on his treadmill. Lucia has found that Tadesse has a higher lactate-threshold than any other athlete ever measured, and also that he has more endurance candidate genes than a comparative group of world-class distance runners. Study here. [1]
However, this doesn't mean that Lucia or any other genetics-and-sports researchers are nearing the finish line. Just last week, he published a paper [2] saying he could identify only 21 percent of the genetic differences between a world class sprinter and marathoner. I could do better than that at a police lineup, and I'm sure you could too.
I probably believe more than many in genetic pre-determinism in running. You only have to watch 20 years of track and marathon results to conclude: Hmmmm, something's going out there, and it's not a minor effect. It's a big difference. European-descended runners didn't win a single gold medal in Beijing.
There's more than ugali at work here. This is bigger than "One Love."
Still, I subscribe to the wonderful coalescing sentence Epstein wrote three paragraphs from the end of his article. It says all we need to know: "Each athlete is an experiment of one, sports are good for all of us, some of us might be more motivated to practice than others, and the only way to find out how good each of us can be is to cross our fingers and train."
It's a crap shoot, and nothing wrong with that. You can choose your parents well, or not. You can train your butt off, or not. You can eat organic quinoa, or fried chicken. You can be born in Eldoret or Kingston or Moscow or Rio or Chicago. It all makes no difference until you march over to the start line and respond to the gun, horn, or "Go!"
Because, as Carl Foster told Epstein (Foster is a sometimes collaborator with Lucia): "The best genetic test right now is a stopwatch."
When David Epstein [3] was a high school half-miler in the Chicago area, he thought he was tougher than several teammates. They'd begin the season in better shape, but he'd gut it out and beat them in races. Now the Sports Illustrated writer wonders if he simply had a genetic advantage over his teammates. Maybe he was a "high responder" to training programs, and they weren't. That wouldn't make him tougher than his teammates--just luckier.

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is a character recognition system that uses special ink and characters. When a document that contains this ink needs to be read, it passes through a machine, which magnetizes the ink and then translates the magnetic information into characters.
MICR technology is used by banks. Numbers and characters found on the bottom of checks (usually containing the check number, sort number, and account number) are printed using Magnetic Ink. To print Magnetic Ink need, you need a laser printer that accepts MICR toner.
MICR provides a secure, high-speed method of scanning and processing information.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 8/15/13
MINNEAPOLIS -- Harold Legania has gone through some adversity on the football field, but it can't hold a candle to the adversity the Gophers junior has endured away from the game. Legania, a defensive lineman at Minnesota, grew up in New Orleans. He was a two-star recruit while playing for Edna Karr High School and eventually chose the Gophers over several other options. Before football became a big part of Legania's life, he lost another huge part: his father. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the surrounding area of the Gulf Coast in 2005, Legania and his family evacuated New Orleans before the storm hit. They left for Baton Rouge, an 80-mile trip that normally takes just over an hour. Because of the traffic from so many residents fleeing New Orleans, it took the Legania family 17 hours to make the trek. Legania's father, Harold, Sr., was very sick with cancer and had been battling the disease for six years. Due to the hurricane, Harold Sr. was not able to get the prop...

General Discussion / Re: Green-lighted to go staehpj1cross-country! (questions)« on: January 25, 2015, 06:38:09 pm »
I probably do more hiking and exploring than staehpj1 does while on tour - backcountry up to the Pacific Crest in Yosemite, crossing the Grand Canyon and picking up my bike on the other side, hiking up to the ancient bristlecone forest in Great Basin. And when you ride up to the Yukon and Alaska, there are just some days where it is best not to set out at all - esp. if you have the advantage of some kind of shelter. So maybe, I use more off days - but I think you have to plan for some.
Then there are the big breakdowns which I hope you never have - but if you tour long enough you probably will. I can think of three offhand - when you are in Fumbuck, Arkansas miles from nowhere. I had a derailleur snap. I had a seat post snap. (Which makes for some rather uncomfortably cycling) And I had a wheel rim split. If you care close enough to a big town with a bike shop, you can limp along. But if you are 150 miles away from anything, you may just need to call Performance, FedEx it, and wait.
Also, there are unexpected glitches that can happen at the beginning or end of your trip. The worst thing if you fly or Amtrak it is for your bike not to show up on the baggage carousel. That has happened to me once - when it went to the wrong city. Took a day and a half to get it. (Read the small print in your baggage "contract". Nice airlines may offer to cover some of your costs, but they don't have to.)
I stick by my math - 400 miles per week (66 per day + a day off) if you are a moderate cyclists. 450 miles per week (75 per day + a day off) if you are moving at a good clip. Check out the journals at CrazyGuy and see how many people did the TransAm + Western Express (3762 miles) in less than 8 weeks.
My first cross-country trip was from Astoria, OR to the Outer Banks of NC - used a more direct route than the TransAm, so let's say about 3600 miles in 10 weeks. I was 31 at the time, commuted regularly 25 miles round-trip and had taken a few weekend rides prior to that. I stopped to smell the flowers at various national parks and other places, but 8 weeks would have been pushing it.

- See also: Leonard vs. Hearns II
- Leonard and Hearns fought for the Undisputed World Welterweight Championship. Leonard was the WBC champion, and Hearns was the WBA champion.
- The fight was promoted by Main Events. This was their first major promotion.
- In his 2011 autobiography, The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring, Leonard wrote: "Everything was proceeding according to plan until, about two weeks before the bout, one of my sparring partners, Odell Hadley, accidentally struck me on my left eye with his elbow. . . . By the next morning, my eye started to swell, and there was talk of possibly postponing the fight. . . . There would be no postponement. I was determined to fight on September 16 as long as I could breathe."
- On September 3, 1981, a right hand by Hearns broke the jaw of sparring partner Marlon Starling, who had been scheduled to headline the live card accompanying the closed-circuit telecast at the Hartford Civic Center in Connecticut.
- Leonard was guaranteed $8 million, and Hearns was assured a minimum of $5 million. Each boxer also received a percentage of the revenue. Leonard ended up with more than $11 million, and Hearns got about $8 million.
- The fight was shown live on closed circuit television in 298 locations, with 1.5 million seats in the United States and Canada.
- Pay-per-view was available to one million homes in 24 cities in the United States.
- The fight was televised live or delayed in about 50 countries. Some 300 million people worldwide saw the unification match.
- HBO secured the rebroadcast rights for $750,000 and aired the fight on September 26, 1981.
- Tickets were priced from $50 up to $500 for ringside seats.
- A sellout crowd of 23,618 attended the fight in a temporary outdoor arena erected on the Caesars Palace tennis courts.
- The fight grossed over $35 million. The live gate was $5.9 million, and the revenue from pay-per-view was $7.5 million.
- Leonard, who opened as an 8 to 5 favorite, was a 7 to 5 underdog by fight time.
- In a UPI poll, 34 of 48 writers picked Leonard to win.
- Hearns won the first five rounds on judge Lou Tabat's scorecard and four of the first five rounds on the scorecards of judges Duane Ford and Chuck Minker.
- Leonard turned the fight around when he hurt Hearns with a left hook at 1:59 of the sixth round. Leonard battered Hearns for the remainder of the round and throughout the seventh round. All three judges scored both rounds 10-9 for Leonard, which was controversial. Many felt that those rounds should have been scored 10-8.
- After Leonard hurt Hearns, there was a reversal of roles: Hearns became the boxer, and Leonard became the aggressor. Hearns won rounds nine through twelve on all three scorecards. After the twelfth round, Leonard's trainer, Angelo Dundee, told him, "You're blowing it, son. You're blowing it."
- In the thirteenth round, with his left eye almost swollen shut, Leonard hurt Hearns with a right hand and followed up with a barrage of punches. Hearns went through the ropes, but the referee ruled it a slip. In the final seconds of the round, Leonard put Hearns down for an official knockdown.
- In the fourteenth round, Leonard staggered Hearns with an overhand right and pinned him on the ropes. After Leonard hit Hearns with a combination to the body and head, the referee stopped the fight.
- Leonard vs. Hearns I was named the 1981 Fight of the Year by The Ring.
- Leonard vs. Hearns I was named the ninth greatest title fight of all-time by The Ring in 1996.

The next-to-last song on the box set's third disc is an acoustic demo of "You Know You're Right," the single from 2002's greatest-hits set. The version the radio played is a much better song than this one, but the way Cobain plays it -- carefully and quietly, as if to avoid waking a baby sleeping in the next room -- is almost unbearably poignant in context. It reminds you of how briefly Cobain actually lived as a dad -- that despite the money and celebrity and admiration, his final class crossover into fatherhood ended almost before it began.

Lamar Alexander among first 3 in Tennessee auto hall of fame
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Tennessee Automotive Manufacturers Association has named U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander to the inaugural class of its new hall of fame.
Alexander helped recruit Nissan and General Motors plants near Nashville while he was governor of the state. He later helped persuade Volkswagen to build a plant in Chattanooga.
The other inductees are Richard G. "Skip" LeFauve, the first president of GM's Saturn Corp., and Marvin T. Runyon, former CEO of Nissan North America.
LeFauve, who died in 2003, led development of the GM plant in Spring Hill. Runyon, who died in 2004, supervised construction of assembly and engine plants in Smyrna that opened in 1981.
The induction ceremony was scheduled to take place at the Southern Automotive Conference in Chattanooga on Thursday.

Hull hold on
Black and Whites hold off Salford comeback
Last Updated: 29/07/12 5:35pm
Hull FC held off a stirring comeback from the Salford City Reds to run out 34-26 winners at the KC Stadium.
Jordan Turner's late try for the Airlie Birds against his former club finally settled a game which hung in the balance after the Reds threatened to upset the hosts with two tries for Sean Gleeson and Ashley Gibson.
A missed Daniel Holdsworth conversion with 10 minutes remaining left Hull defending a slender two-point lead until Turner's late score gave the home side the two points which keeps them sixth in the table.
Salford have developed a successful habit of scoring early tries this year, but it was the hosts who raced into a 12-point lead thanks to the efforts of one of their rising stars.
Tom Lineham got his first taste of Super League in last Monday's televised Hull derby and, following his second-half cameo in the hostile environment of Craven Park, the 20-year-old revelled in being on home turf for the first time as he was handed a first start for the Black and Whites.
Within six minutes of kick-off, talk of Hull having found a new Tom Briscoe was already echoing around the KC as Lineham set Hull on their way with a well-taken first try before braking 60 metres down field to set up a second try of the afternoon for Hull, Kirk Yeaman this time the scorer.
Salford were shocked into life and, after being caught by their own game, the Reds came back into the match through Gibson's well-worked try in the corner.
The centre's pace and power took him over the try line and sparked a period of dominance by the visitors, who made their territorial possession count minutes later when Jodie Broughton avenged an earlier error to go over unopposed in the corner to complete a flowing move out wide.
Salford's moment in the sun did not last long, however, and Lineham again set Hull on their way. It was the winger's break which set up field position for Joe Westerman to break the Reds' defensive line and score.
Lineham completed a half to remember on the half-time hooter, leaving Broughton flat-footed as he dived over in the corner to give his side a 12-point half-time advantage.
The game became fractured in the second half, but Hull took the opportunity to go three tries clear with a simple penalty conversion for on-loan St Helens winger Jamie Foster.
That decision looked even wiser when Gleeson, who next year will wear the red and white of Hull KR, exploited poor Hull defending to score approaching the final quarter.
The Reds sensed a comeback and it looked on when they capitalised on Hull's ill discipline through a second try for Gibson.
Holdsworth's missed conversion left Salford four points behind, but the visitors remained on top.
Hull were then thankful when another Salford infringement, this time for holding down, allowed Foster to kick a penalty from in front of the posts.
The Reds continued to press, and got their rewards when Gleeson touched down by the corner flag on the break. Holdsworth had a chance to level the game but hooked his touchline conversion as Hull breathed a sigh of relief.
The visitors continued to mount a serious challenge but with the clock ticking down, ex-Salford player Turner popped up five metres out to take an off-load and seal the points for Hull.

My favourite milk substitute. In my opinion much nicer than almond milk or soy. Tastes almost like milk, and no funny after taste.
06 March 2015
Great dairy substitute
I use this in all the recipes that call for milk and love having it in my cereal or porridge. Great product. Doesn't taste particularly of coconut either so very versatile.
05 February 2015
very versatile and tasty milk subsitute
having given up dairy this was my first choice as a milk substitute, I now love this, for use in hot drinks it is a lot less substantial than any dairy milk but once use to it I now prefer it. Very good for all cooking as it does not separate. Shake well before use, the calcium does tend to settle to the bottom.

Perfect nude shade for me. I'm at an age where veering too far away from my natural lip shade can look harsh. I usually have to stick to plums and mauves. I was worried this one might be a little too light but it's actually perfect for my skin color. Half N Half is kind of a hard shade to describe. Perhaps a light brownish pink. Very flattering. You can change the hue of this lipstick by trying different lip liners. Berry type liners will bring out the pink but a brownish or reddish liner will make it look more brown/mauve.

for me buying this product wasnt worth the price due to me having to mix it with diffrent lipliners and more pinky colours just to get the right colour.
I feel like it makes me look very washed out which I hate.
it wasnt matte enough in my opinion.
I felt that i needed to change my lipcolour half way through the day.

I have pale skin and very vibrant copper hair so I sometimes struggle to find lipsticks that suit my hair colour and don't clash. Half N Half is gorgeous!!! Half N Half is almost exactly the same colour as Velvet Teddy so if you are like me and aren't too keen on the matte finish lipsticks then I would 100% recommend Half n half as an alternative. On me it's a beautiful nude brown with a hint of pink. The amplified finish is my second favourite mac finish (satin being my first). I love that they are completely opaque and creamy without being too creamy. Half N Half lasts about 6 hours on me and I can eat and drink and it will still stay on. It wears off evenly and leaves a natural pink stain behind. I love this lipstick so much as an everyday lipstick and 100% will be buying this again when my current one runs out!!

this is a nice pinky brown a bit darker than cherish but creamier and smoother in texture because its an amplified creme instead of satin.

I love this nude lipstick! It glides on great and has a great shine to it. I usually use it with MAC's 'Stone' lipliner, but its also great by itself. My skin is a darker brown shade, so it looks awesome alone or with a full face of makeup. If I dont have some chap stick on days I dont have makeup on, i usually just use a little of this to keep something on my lips throughout the day.

I say I wouldn't buy this again simply because it is one of my first nude lipstick purchases and I will continue changing to different ones instead of sticking to one. New to the world of nudes, I bought this on a whim whilst looking for something other than a pink shade to compliment a smokey eye. It didn't really work the way I wanted it to or thought it would - it was a bit too brown on me. it looks too dark with a smokey eye for me, I am very pale. I was disappointed as I really like the colour. i find myself putting this colour on before a night out, looking at it for a few moments before wiping it off to change to a more subdued colour. Doesn't really work by day either as it is quite dark unless that's the look you're after. makes me look like some kind of vampire i think with the extra dark lip and the pale skin! prob look nicer on people with darker skin than my milk white skin! worth a try all the same because it still beats those extremely nude nudes which make it seem like you have no lips at all. Buying it again, probably not but it is worth a try.

HG lipstick, hands down.
I searched forever - anything that looked good in person looked terrible in pictures.
I use MAC lip liner (or annabell) called spice with this lipstick and it always looks great. In person, in pictures. I dig the nude / not trying too hard look, and this does just that.
I wear it to work, and even out if I am going to the bar. It just suits my skin very well (NW 40 former NC 32 as per a wrong decision for a lot of years).
It doesn't stay on if you eat anything, it gets on all my clothes if I have it on my hands, I do not kiss my boyfriend without messing him up and it costs like 18 dollars plus tax. Having said that, I don't care. It is not a lipstain and it is not expected to be anything more than a lipstick.
It is creamy, but not wet. I find some MAC lipsticks are, but this one is not. I do not even wear chapstick underneath and my lips always look juicy.
If you are looking for something super versatile that is really easy to use, not overly pigmented but provides nice colour and coverage for tan skin: this is it.

MAC Half n Half is a really great neutral/ nude color for gals who have a tanner or darker skin tone. This lipstick might look too brown and muddy on girls with fairer skin tones. Half n Half comes off as a nudey pink color. Because of the pink undertones in this lipstick, it isn't too hard to pull off. This doesn't make my lips look like ghost lips and compliments my skin tone and any eye makeup I wear. It is an amplified lipstick so it has great color payoff. The scent of this lipstick is amazing, it smells like sugar! The consistency is really creamy and glides on the lips with ease. This the perfect nude color for my lips, and this is the lipstick I reach for the most.

My Response to Being Made to Care
In the sprit of civil discourse, I submit my response to Olive's remarks. I will be forthright and declare at the outset that I do not approve of homosexual behavior. I do not approve of gay marriage, gay pride parades, or sounding from the rooftops any time a gay person accomplishes something for the first time. No amount of legislation, public pressure, government coercion, or | Read More »
Response to a Young Gay Man, and Being Made to Care
To the young gay man who shared so openly and clearly on RedState: thank you. It's refreshing to see someone willing to engage in real debate without invective, accusations, and straw men. That's a rare event these days, and it deserves recognition and encouragement. That being said, beyond encouragement, such a heartfelt diary deserves a response. And the response must be just as clear, open, | Read More »

Thoughts From a Young Gay Man on Homosexuality, Religious Freedom, and Being Made to Care
Two years ago I sat on my grandfather's porch watching the sun burn red on a summer evening. We were sharing a drink with two of my uncles – Dewar's White Label, a fine concoction and likely the best my grandfather has tasted. I wish that he would upgrade to single malt though, if only because he can and his time grows short, but grandfather | Read More »
Two Years Later, You'll Still Be Made to Care
In the last twenty-four hours, much of the mainstream media has shown itself perfectly willing to serve as agents of Satan (or should I use Moloch to make you feel better?).

You Will Be Made To Care Chronicles: Religious speech in the crosshairs

First They Shut You Up, Then You Will Be Made to Care
I have to quibble, slightly, with the Washington Free Beacon's Sonny Bunch. In a piece last week Sonny wrote that he did not think I was quite right with my phrase "you will be made to care."

You Will Be Made to Care
Every want to know how campaigns target precincts and work on vote totals? In tonight's show I explained how campaigns work behind the scenes. Then I did a pivot. From Houston to Idaho, gay rights activists are going to make you care. I dive deep tonight.
In Idaho, Christian Pastors Ordered to Perform Gay Marriages. You Will Be Made to Care.
It is one of the tenets of the current movement toward gay marriage. They get to get married, Christians are forced to provide goods and services if they demand it, but — and this is the key caveat of it all — but Christian ministers will not be forced to wed gays because of their religious concerns. That was last week. This is this week | Read More »
Even in Houston, Texas, You Will Be Made to Care
Houston, TX is not thought of as a bastion of liberalism, but it has gone quite rapidly off the deep end.

In short, if a guy decides he's a girl and wants to go hang out in the girl's bathroom, it is | Read More »
You Will Be Made to Care: The Semblance of Normalcy
Having said I think gay marriage nationally is inevitable given the Supreme Court's decision yesterday to not take any cases on it right now, a number of people questioned both my conservatism and my faith. One need not abandon either to live in the real world. It is coming. But it is important to understand why. It is not just that gay rights activists want | Read More »
You Will Be Made to Care
Vanderbilt University has decided student groups on campus cannot determine their own leadership.

Depression In New Dads: New Data And Awareness
You may be aware that rates of depression are high in women, and that depression can increase in new moms. But new data, drawn from a powerful longitudinal design, suggest that new dads are vulnerable to depression as well.
How vulnerable? Analyses of over 2 decades of prospective data collected on over 10,000 males in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health suggested that depressive symptoms in dads increase by as much as 68% following the birth of child (and extending out 5 years after). These were "resident" dads, meaning those living with the child.
Depression in dads, like mom, can compromise parenting. Depressed dads are more likely to be angry/hostile with a child, and less engaged in play and talk.
While the study does not go into the factors that predict which men are most likely to become depressed following the birth of a dad, the immediate takeaway is to promote awareness of signs of depression in men, and to encourage early intervention. As the symptoms of depression in men can differ somewhat from the typical signs in women, it's useful to be aware of key signs of depression in dads.
There are many successful treatments for depression. As depression can be episodic (it can keep coming back over time), intervention is especially important in buffering against future increases in depressive symptoms. So if a new dad (or any dad) is showing potential signs of depression, it is well worth the time to seek out an evaluation and determine if a treatment plan is warranted.

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/30/12
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The last time we saw the Kansas State football team, Baylor quarterback Nick Florence had done his best Dean Wormer bit, marching straight into the Delta house and dropping the big one. After two months of complete indifference, the Bears even decided to play defense, orchestrating a little napalm tap dance all over the Wildcats' No. 1 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series and Collin Kleins Heisman Trophy acceptance speech. OK, fine. What's done is done. But to paraphrase that noted philosopher from the movie "Animal House," Bluto Blutarsky, whats all this laying around stuff? Marmalard? Dead! Niedermeyer? Dead! National championship? Dead! Everything else? Still on the table, kids. With a victory over No. 18 Texas on Saturday night, the sixth-rated Wildcats will clinch their first Big 12 championship since 2003, and an automatic invite to its first BCS hoedown since the 2004 Fiesta Bowl - for all the angst, all the hand-wringing, K-State (10-1, 7-1 Big ...

I have the following class.
public class myType
public event Action myAction;
And a Dictionary containing some instances of that class.
var myDictionary = new Dictionary<myType, string>();
In my Main I have a method with signature void SomeMethod(myType, Dictionary)
With the following loop I add my object's behaviour:
foreach(var pair in myDictionary)
pair.Key.myAction += () => SomeMethod(pair.Key, myDictionary);
After running this loop, when the action of one of my objects is invoked, the effect is as if the loop had used the last pair.Key in the dictionary for all the lambda expressions.
On the other hand with a small change in the loop:
foreach(var pair in myDictionary)
myType temp = pair.Key;
pair.Key.myAction += () => SomeMethod(temp, myDictionary);
After running this loop, all the object actions work as expected.
I'm a bit at a loss why such a change would have such an effect. A keyvaluepair may be a struct, by the key itself is a reference type (an instance of my class). Any ideas why this behaves this way?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

ICon Darth Maul 370.
(photo credit:Yarden Kadman)
At a skyscraper in Petah Tikva, the Leader of the Geeks sits hard at
work. Admittedly, there wasn't an election or anything, but as the
director of the ICon Annual Science Fiction, Fantasy and Role-Playing Games
Festival, Tomer Shalev would be a strong candidate for the job.Shalev,
who works by day at a leading investment management firm, has had his ICon alter
ego for the last three years, although he was involved in the conference for
several years before that.The festival, which will take place this year
at Tel Aviv's Eshkol Hapayis building on October 2-4, features over 150 events
with over 80 staff members – all of whom go unpaid – and 160
volunteers."We rely on local talent," says Shalev. "Without volunteers,
we wouldn't be able to put on the festival. That's partly why we do it on
Succot, since both participants and volunteers are available. School
hasn't started, people are on vacation from work for the holiday, so it works
out well for us."Unfortunately, the time frame is a double-edges sword
for ICon."I get asked all the time why don't do a longer
festival. 'Everything's so great; I want to do it all. Why do have to
pack it all into three days, so that some of my favorite stuff overlap with each
other?' I wish I could tell them that we could do more, but frankly we only have
Succot. Afterwards, everyone gets back to their real lives," Shalev
says.It's that break from reality that ICon provides that seems to be
appealing for so many. The festival receives thousands of visitors every year
and the number grows each time. It should be noted that this is not the only
science fiction and fantasy convention in Israel. Although ICon is the largest and most wellknown festival,
there are several similar events throughout the year, specifically Hanukka,
Passover and over the summer."There's plenty of potential for events
here," says Shalev. "We have a strong core of a few thousand – our faithful
following – that comes to these events. But ICon has a wider appeal than some of
the more specific events done during the year. We have something for everybody,
for beginners who want to dip their toes in the world of sci-fi and for those
who have been doing this kind of stuff for ages."Shalev touts the
festival as a place for everyone, young and old alike, a fact reflected in the
"ICon for Little Ones" programs debuting this year.Nevertheless, the
festival, like many science fiction and fantasy conventions, has developed a bit
of a reputation for gathering the geekiest of the geek, the creme de la nerd
crop. When discussing the colorful cast of characters in attendance, Shalev
revels a little in the zeal of the sci-fi and fantasy
community."Everybody has imagination and it's something that we love to
see. I think that's something that appeals to everyone, the idea of coming out
and playing pretend.""It doesn't matter what you like or where you come
from, we want to see you with us," says Shalev, something that definitely shines
through in the wide-ranging eclectic nature of ICon's schedule. While last
year's festival featured zombies, this year's is dedicated to the theme of
discoveries.Programs range from "Inconceivable!: Impossible Discoveries
in Mathematics" to a event titled "The Ultimate Redheads Panel," to a lecture
discussing "From Walt Disney to Joss Whedon: Feminist Disclosures and Gender
Subversion" and a live performance named "When Improvisation and Fantasy
Meet."Clearly, ICon takes on all comers, whether you let your inner
freak flag fly over slaying vampires, smashing orcs, arguing about postmodernism
in 21stcentury anime or any of the myriad other topics loosely classified under
the banner of science fiction and fantasy."There are many worlds here,"
notes Shalev, who hails from a Star Trek background, vis-a-vis his first
connection to science fiction. But, part of the fun of it all, he says, is in
the escapism and the flight from reality."There are many people out
there who do what I call 'gray work.' Look, I work for an investment firm, so
I'm one of them. But, that's why I think people need sci-fi and fantasy, as a
vaccine for office work and a way to run away from the normal."And yet,
sci-fi gives us a way of viewing ourselves. We can learn life lessons from it. I was watching an episode of Star Trek a few years ago, and it was
really similar to the political reality of the Disengagement, and all of the problems we
faced with that," he continues."While running away, we dig deeper and
learn more about our own world, going through the back door, so to
speak."In short, intergalactic problems are our
problems.Stepping away from the philosophy, Shalev emphasizes that, more
than anything else, ICon is all about the participants."We love the
people who come, who take part, either as visitors or as
volunteers."According to Shalev, one of the main goals, aside from
promoting science fiction and fantasy in Israel, is providing a place for people
to mingle and connect."It's about making real friends, not imaginary
ones," he quips with a smile.And so the conversation turns to the
people, the geeks themselves. When faced with the quintessential
stereotype – at least in the American mindset - of a geek, namely a
bespectacled, socially awkward guy unable to talk to women but able to lecture
for an hour on the syntax of Klingon, Shalev flatly denies the claim."I
don't know what a geek is," he says, in a phrase reminiscent of US Supreme
Court Justice Potter Steward's classification of pornography: "I don't know what
it is, but I'll know it when I see it.""There are geeks who like one
thing and geeks who like something entirely else," he continues, explaining that
there are entirely different worlds and people in them that could be termed
"geeks." Some build rockets; others make wands."But, that geeks are
anti-social or anything is absolutely untrue. The people that show up for ICon
are very friendly and outgoing. They might not be in their everyday lives, but
here, I see all the time people calling for a game and suddenly starting to play
with people they've never met before. Maybe it's because they feel that
they are in a safe environment, where there's people who like the same stuff
that they do. But they are very social here, and it's great for meeting new

Elemental Mixology
Paperback: $50.00
Ships in 3-5 business days.
If a person wants to do something with excellence for which there is existing tradition, it can only be beneficial to first become acquainted with that tradition. Elemental Mixology embraces... More > traditional, American mixology as it developed from the 1700's through the early 1900's as its basis. Bar-tenders in that period learned drinks by types instead of memorizing a lot of specific drinks. This approach rejects the notion that mixology is based upon the memorization of recipes. Neither does Elemental Mixology consider the memorization-based approach to be transformed into mixology just by the addition of custom-made bitters or syrups, or by the muddling of produce. Those things have their place, but do not constitute mixology by themselves. At its heart, Elemental Mixology is nothing more than traditional, American mixological standards combined with a culinary understanding of ingredients. It applies these standards equally to historic drinks, new drinks and custom-made ones using new ingredients.< Less

I am searching for a pediatritian for my baby (due in November) and wonder if any of you have a pediatrition who respects Dr. Sear's delayed/select vax schedules?? I am having a hard time finding a place to start in my search. Would also like one that is an advocate of attachment parenting. Am I asking too much?
anyone in the Valley in AZ??

Have you checked the "featured post" yet Tif? I know there's a link in that post to a list of none/delay vax friendly dr.s and at least for my state it had more Dr.s on it then the Dr. Sears website had. :)

Product description
"Backgrounds and Sources" helps readers understand Death and the King's Horseman's traditional African contexts and the role of theater in African culture. Included are a map of Yoruba-land, discussions of Yoruban religious beliefs and cultural traditions, Soyinka on the various forms that theater has taken in African culture in order to survive, and Anthony Appiah on Soyinka's struggle with the problem of African identity in the creation of Death and the King's Horseman. Commentary on the play as both a theatrical production and a classroom text is provided by Gerald Moore, Tanure Ojaide, and Martin Rohmer. "Criticism" collects nine major essays on the play and the difficulties it presents to readers. Contributors include D. S. Izevbaye, Eldred Durosimi Jones, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Biodun Jeyifo, Wole Soyinka, Joan Hepburn, Adebayo Williams, David Richards, and Olakunle George. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
