New UK-based survey finds that many LGBTI people believe hate crime is an 'everyday reality'
Gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender and intersex people experience hate crime 'too often' to report it to police, according to a new report.
Researchers have found hate crime is an 'everyday reality' for LGBTI people, with many saying harassment and verbal abuse is 'part and parcel' of their lives.
Many worry police won't take them seriously, some can't face being outed to their families and people in rural communiies are being left 'lonely and isolated with nowhere to turn'.
According to a local news report a 35-year-old Canadian national has been arrested in Morocco after he allegedly filmed himself having sex with a local man who was employed by the resort he was staying at
Two men are being held in custody in a Moroccan jail after they were charged with allegedly engaging in sex acts with each other.
According to the Al Sabah newspaper the Agadir public prosecutor's office has charged an unnamed 35-year-old Canadian tourist and a security guard at the resort he was staying at after the security guard made an alleged false rape allegation to police.
Witness says attacker stomped his face into the ground while yelling 'Faggot!'
A gay man who was brutally beaten in Mississippi on Friday (20 March) says the attack was a hate crime.
Investigators said James David Scott, 23, confronted Devin Norman, 26, in a Walmart parking lot in Corinth about an alleged social media post.
According to a witness, Scott threw Norman to the ground and stomped his face into the pavement while yelling, 'Faggot! Faggot! Faggot!'
Norman was treated for multiple facial fractures and broken eye sockets.
Scott fled the scene but was later arrested and charged with assault.
'All three defendants steadfastly maintain their innocence'
One of the lawyers for the suspects in a Philadelphia assault of two gay men maintains there is not enough evidence for prosecution.
Kevin Harrigan, Kathryn Knott, and Philip Williams (pictured left to right) were in court this past week for a pretrial hearing.
Bulgarian law does not consider homophobic motives as hate crime - they are acts of hooliganism
Bulgaria's efforts to investigate and prosecute hate crime are deemed a failure in a report Amnesty International published today (9 February).
According to the report, the lack of adequate investigation and prosecution created a climate of discrimination, fear and ultimately violence. Some victims of hate crime do not dare to report their experiences to the police because they fear further discrimination.
Got an apology and £500 payment in return
A UK bank has accused a woman of fraud just because she is trans.
The Financial Ombudsman Service has warned the biggest banks in the UK to ensure they properly handle sensitive situations.
For example, the dispute resolution body confused a female customer's gender reassignment with fraud blocking her credit card.
A few days before the account was suspended, the woman Ms B gave the bank a ring. Confirming her identity, she was told her address couldn't be changed.
Activists are 'concerned' after a report finds only 33 anti-trans attacks in 2013
One in five hate crimes committed in the US last year were motivated by anti-gay bias, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The agency's annual hate crime report released on Monday (8 December) found that 20.8% of the 5,928 reported single bias hate crimes were based on sexual orientation, second only to race at 48.5%.
Of these, 60.6 percent were classified as anti-gay male bias.
Gender identity was also added to the list of bias categories for the first time this year.
A new app that phone users can download and use to report hate crimes is among several plans that have been announced by City Hall following a rise in homophobic hate offenses
As GSN reported last month, there has been a sharp increase in homophobic attacks in London in the past 12 months, with Scotland Yard reporting 1,073 violent homophobic offences between January and October alone (compared to 1,007 for the whole of 2013).
Victim's mother and others believe he was murdered because he was gay and his killer wasn't sure if he wanted to be
The killing of Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has dominated the news in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, another shooting death on the other side of the state, in Kansas City, has gotten scant attention beyond the local news.
The victim was a 22-year-old gay, black man named Dionte Greene.
Greene was shot in the face while sitting in the front seat of his car, the engine still running, on the morning of Halloween.
There have been 300 violent homophobic attacks in London alone from January to October this year alone
Recorded instances of violent homophobic crimes have risen in the UK this year, according to new figures.
Hundreds of assaults on gay and lesbian people have been reported to police in 2014, including more than 300 in London alone.
Gay rights charities believe LGBTI people feel more encouraged to speak out if they have been victims of hate crime.
Some of the UK's biggest police forces reported the following to Press Association:
Nineteen-year-old beat and kidnapped a gay man he met on a dating app
A Texan teenager yesterday (17 November) was sentenced to 183 months in prison for kidnapping and viciously assaulting a gay man because of his sexual orientation.
Prosecutors dropped a hate crime charge against Brice Johnson, 19, after he pleaded guilty in June.
Georgian police are investigating the murder of a 25-year-old transgender woman in the capital Tblisi, and her apartment was torched after her death, but it remains to be seen whether they treat it as a hate crime
Georgian LGBTI rights advocates have urged Georgian authorities to investigate the murder of a young transgender woman as a hate crime and have urged the media to report sensitively on the killing.
The 25-year-old woman was found locked inside her burning apartment. It is believed the fire was lit in an attempt to destroy evidence related to the killing.
A 33-year-old woman is fighting for her life in hospital
A Ohio trans woman is to be discharged today after surviving a near death experience earlier this week.
On Monday, 33-year-old Candice Milligan was attacked in broad daylight in downtown Toledo by at least three men.
The men reportedly called her anti-gay trans slurs, punched her, kicked her and stole her cell phone. The assailants then fled the scene.
She was hospitalized in critical condition at Mercy St Vincent Medical Center.
Doctors performed at least two surgeries to save her life, including one to drain blood from her brain.
Council passes new legislation after a gay couple was assaulted by as many as 15 people who hurled anti-gay slurs while attacking them
Philadelphia's city council has passed a bill authorizing added penalties for gender identity and sexual orientation hate crimes that aren't covered under state law.
The move was triggered in part by an attack on a same-sex couple in Rittenhouse on September 11 in which one man suffered a broken jaw, broken orbital bones in his face, and a cut that required 24 stitches to close; the other, facial fractures.
They say the law is urgent after the murder of a transgender woman by a US marine
Two Philippine lawmakers have expressed their intent to file a bill to curb anti-gay hate crimes following the murder of a transgender woman by a US marine.
Akbayan Party List Representative Barry Gutierrez and Dinagat Islands Representative Kaka Bag-ao have called for a nationwide protection of LGBTI people.
Several cities and states, including Quezon City, have passed local anti-discrimination laws but there is now national.
He says there is no 'probable cause for murder or any other crime'
A US marine accused of killing a transgender woman will stand trial in the Philippines but it is unclear whether he will face charges of murder of homicide.
Private First Class Joseph Scott Pemberton, 19, was in the Philippines for joint military exercises and was the last person to be seen with Jennifer Laude, 26.
She was drowned in a hotel toilet in Olongapo city, northwest of Manila.
Pemberton skipped the preliminary investigation in Olongapo and failed to answer a murder complaint by yesterday's deadline.
Bam Aquino says the number of LGBTI murders will continue to rise if harsher punishments are not introduced
Philippine Senator Bam Aquino has called for harsher punishments for hate crimes against LGBTI people in the wake of the murder of transgender woman Jennifer Laude.
'We should impose heavier penalties so that these discriminatory and inhumane acts will be eradicated,' Aquino said in a press statement.
Laude, 26, was found dead with her head in a hotel toilet in Olongapo city last week.
'I got a card saying sorry for the loss of your cat, but with a smiley face drawn on it'
The leader of a Welsh LGBTI support group has said his pet cat was killed because he is gay.
Andrew Davies, chief executive of the Swansea Bay Unity Project, said he discovered his dead black tomcat after it was dumped outside his home.
His pet, who he named Jose, had been found forced fed with paracetamol tablets.
Davies has said this is just one of the many hate crimes he has witnessed in Wales. And while gay marriage may be a reality, it doesn't mean there are some who wish 'homos were banned from the area'.
'Philadelphia is known all over the world as a city that celebrates and values diversity and we will not allow a few thugs to tarnish that reputation'
Two Philadelphia councilors have introduced a bill that will cover sexual orientation in the city's hate crime laws.
The legislation is a response to the 11 September attack of two gay men. While three suspects are facing four charges each, sexual orientation and gender expression are not listed n the city's, or state's, bias statutes.
Kathryn Knott, 24, had posted homophobic messages on Twitter
The three suspects in the beating of a gay couple in Philadelphia surrendered to authorities on Wednesday (24 September) and it turns out one of the them is the daughter of a local police chief.
Kathryn Knott, 24, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and criminal conspiracy along with Philip Williams, 24, and Kevin Harrigan, 26.
District Attorney Seth Williams: 'An assault on people because of their sexual orientation has no place in Philadelphia'
Three people will be charged in a mob attack on a gay couple in Philadelphia, law enforcement authorities said Tuesday (23 August).
But they will not be charged with a hate crime.
Bucks County residents Philip Williams, 24, Kevin Harrigan, 26, and Katherine Knott, 24 will be charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and criminal conspiracy, according to the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia.
'It been really great to hear the response of the entire community. It's not just gay people who are signing the petition'
A friend of the gay couple recently attacked in Philadelphia is now working to include sexual orientation in the state's hate crime laws.
Caryn Kunkle is a longtime friend of the pair and put up a petition, for Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, on change.org.
A prison officer has been awarded $100,000 after a coworker sent a joke email outing him as gay, but the South Australian judge also ruled saying someone is gay when they aren't is not defamation
A prison officer in the Australian state of South Australia has been awarded $100,000 over an incident where a co-worker used his email account to falsely out him to around 1,200 contacts.
Former colleague Stephen Kirkham sent an email from Adelaide Remand Center officer Cosimo Tassone's account in July of 2011 reading 'Hello people, just a note to say that I am a homosexual and I am looking for like minded people to share time with.'
Police are appealing for information after a man was punched and kicked by a fellow passenger
Police are appealing for information after a man suffered a homophobic assault on a London train.
The victim boarded the train from Charing Cross, an area popular with the LGBT community, to Bexleyheath at around 5.30am on 15 July. This was only the second train to run that Tuesday morning.
Investigating officer Michael Willoughby said: 'During the journey a man sat opposite him and began making homophobic comments to him and began taking pictures of the victim on his phone.
'The victim challenged the man, but was punched and kicked in return.'
'Oh, you're a man!', he shouted before he reportedly hugged the victim in a 'sexual way' and began stabbing her
A man is being charged with a hate crime after allegedly stabbing a transgender girl in Washington DC.
The 15-year-old girl, who has not been identified, was on a Metro train when the suspect began mocking her appearance.
Reginald Anthony Klaiber, 24, allegedly realized the girl was transgender and began to get aggressive.
'He came to my friend and said you have red hair,' Jae-la White, a friend of the victim, said.
'My friend said ok, and then he said, "Oh, you're a man!"'

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 1/22/13
This is going to seem a little odd to determine Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens will win Super Bowl XVII, because the San Francisco 49ers had the most Pro Bowl selections in 2012. However the history of teams that led their conferences in Pro Bowl selections does not bode well for the 49ers chances at winning the Super Bowl. From 2001-2011, only two teams from the AFC conference and three teams from the NFC conference who led the league in Pro Bowl selections made it to the Super Bowl at the end of the season. Those five teams were the 2011 New England Patriots, 2009 Indianapolis Colts, 2006 Chicago Bears, 2005 Seattle Seahawks and 2004 Philadelphia Eagles.… Read more

Print this chapter (1.5MB)
This overview of the National Science Board's Science and Engineering Indicators 2006 describes some major U.S. and international science and technology (S&T) developments. It focuses on trends since about 1990, although it occasionally takes a longer view. The overview synthesizes selected major findings in a meaningful way and is not intended to be comprehensive. The reader will find many important findings in the report that are not covered in the overview, e.g., public support for science is strong even though public knowledge is limited; S&T activities in different states vary substantially in size and scope; and some of those who are employed in S&T occupations lack S&T degrees, although many people with S&T degrees work in other types of jobs. The interested reader will find more extensive data in the body of the report; major findings on particular topics appear in the Highlights sections that precede chapters 1–7.
The reader should note the indicators included in S&E Indicators 2006 , which derive from a variety of national, international, and private sources, may not be comparable in a strict statistical sense, especially for international data. In addition, some metrics and data are somewhat weak, and models relating them to each other and to economic and social outcomes are not well developed. Thus, even though many data series conform generally to international standards, the focus is on broad trends that should be interpreted cautiously.
The overview begins with a broad picture of major developments that are changing the location and conduct of international research and development and are recasting international high-technology markets. It then discusses changes in scientific research that, although less pronounced, show paths similar to earlier technology trends. Next it reviews evidence of widespread international upgrading of education levels and the increasing international mobility of highly educated individuals, especially since the 1990s. The analysis then examines relevant S&T patterns and trends in the United States on which these external changes have a bearing. To the extent possible, the overview presents comparative data for the United States, the European Union (EU) before enlargement,[1] Japan , China, and eight other selected Asian economies (Asia-8).[2]

There is no doubt, Russell Wilson is the future of the Seattle Seahawks' franchise. They will win Super Bowls with him and out of all the rookie quarterbacks he is the one who, in the end, will win the most titles and awards. RG3 and Andrew Luck will win a Super Bowl, but Wilson will out do them both. He is unstoppable at home, has unquestionable leadership abilities, and he is on a team that allows him to grow more so than the other two big name rookies. He is the hardest working rookie out of any of them and has the least amount of pressure to perform.… Read more

26 year old man | Smyrna, GA, USA | Seeking men 21-30 within 50 miles
Looking for someone with both a wild and a tender side.
Hello. Name's Lee here. I always feel a little awkward writing about myself, but here I go. I am a Georgia born guy that spent the most formative of my years in Missouri. After high school, I went to the University of Missouri where I studied just about everything possible. I finally settled with Sociology. I certainly miss the Midwest and think of myself as a Midwesterner at heart. I think I have a little bit of both the Midwest vibe with the southern charm. Honestly, I am looking first and foremost to make friends and possibly someone to go on a couple of dated. I'm tired of simple one night stands. I love music and the arts, and i love to spend time with my friends and family. Any time that I can make all of those work together is a great time for me. I would like to meet someone who is willing to go out and have a good time, but also one that enjoys the the lazy cuddle days. I am currently working as a multiline representative for a major insurance company. I moved into this job after spending about a year working as a personal banker. Though I enjoy my job and co-workers, my passion has always been the education field. In the fall, I will be going back to school to work on getting my certification in secondary education. At some point in my near future I plan to work in educational policy and curriculum development. My family is a major part of my life. I'm the youngest of two kids (my sister is 11 years older than me). I have a 5 year old niece and she is my heart and soul. Tell me about you...

Looking for my Princess Peach......
Just looking for someone that doesn't take life too seriously, but at the same time knows what is important. I love cloudy days, for some reason they always put a smile on my face. I give it my all if its something I am passionate about. I am horrible at writing things about myself. Not sure how I feel about these online match websites, but decided to give it a try after a friend insisted I need to meet more people. I have a morbid sense of humor, usually pretty witty. I can be sarcastic at times, but know my limits. I tend to adjust my personality depending on the situation, always adapting. I believe I happen to be an introverted extrovert, I love to go out and have fun, but still love to be at home and relax. I am content with staying home and watching a movie. At the same I am usually up for anything. I will usually try something once.

Oshun Smiled
You swoon me like good ideas
and good energy, like the I pod
and Church service. Drinking Mango
Juice and chewing Maca root, the smell of
Banana cake and Pecan rolls,
Thelma on Good times and
70's soul, when Nasir writes and
Jean Grae spits and that easy
feeling I get in between
rum and coke sips...You swoon me.
You swoon me like
Miles's horn
and Sade's voice--
Keeping me faithful
in between albums.
Writers and fighters,
Profound quotes
and introspective folks,
and the silence of music
in between the notes,
like a Sanchez stanza,
archers and scales,
like a JDilla beat
and a Bassey Ikpi tweet...
Baby, you swoon me.
You swoon me like poetry
and pinky linking,
warm embraces in peculiar places
The Caribbean Sea,
a Ray Allen three,
Papi on Fulton shouting:
"Yo! What you got for me?"
Like rainy day cuddle time,
The joining of souls, in the
throes of love, the con
nection of minds. Tantric
sex, locked legs in the bed
connecting complex concepts.
Speaking of that reflex:
I want to marinate in you,
make you breathe hard
through your nostrils,
tremor your body under
the weight of my desire,
intoxicate from your vintage
strip you fresh
and eat the flesh of my
personal Jesus.
I touch myself when
I think of you I smell your
scent when I am hunting. My eyes
burn from the madness of your vessel.
navigating your circumference,
destroy planets when we collide.
Exhale euphoria and snatch air
In a lust filled obsidian.
Melodically kiss you,
orchestrate some lip work,
tease your nape,
sensationalize your nipples,
remix staccato sighs,
rhythmic Morse code,
Inhale the aroma of your wanting,
bathe in your oxygen,
weep from the divinity of entry.
Feel Me?
You swoon me like black love,
Afro picks up and fists' high!
like the magical motion of
masterful hips...like the hypnotic
glare of mac-glossed lips.
You swoon me like dark skin
women in videos, like the leftover
cake mix chillin in the
bowl, like Grace Jones' skin tone, a
Claude McKay poem,
like What's Going On? and
Let's Get It On… Honey comb...
You swoon me.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of yourReplyDelete
blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

PART 1 - "The WWE Wrestling-Mark Consumer Lifecycle" -
by, 04-21-2012 at 11:18 AM (2924 Views)
Little Jimmy Full Graph.jpg
Greetings, fellow wrestling (s)mark. My name is Dr_Cuboid (well not really) and this is my first blog on this site. Like many of you, I've been a fan of pro wrestling my entire life. The image that you see above is something I created out of sheer boredom at work.
A bit of background on myself (I'm going somewhere with this, its not filler),
- I just turned 26 years old last week
- I've been a fan since I was about 8 years old (around 1994);
- I work full time;
- I watch MMA religiously and train in Brazilian JiuJitsu;
- I broke up with my longtime girlfriend about 2 years ago and haven't had a proper relationship since
- I still hang out with my buddies from university and we often bitch about wrestling.
Why is this important and why should you care?
Well, first off, by introducing myself, I have allowed you to do the following:
- Identify which demographic, I fall into i.e. 18-35 Male, long-term wrestling fan
- Identifiy psychographic consumer data such as my other interests and personal situation.
Wresting is a business first and foremost. Any business-owner will tell you that the first step to marketing your business is ALWAYS to identify your target market. Vincent Kennedy McMahon, MBA (Harvard), understands this concept extremely well.
Ask yourself a question, "am I the target audience for Raw and Smackdown? If not, who is?"
Secondly, I come from a Marketing background, so If you will do me the honour of reading all the way through this blog I will introduce you to a concept that some of you may already be familiar with, but others will find completely novel. I call this concept, "The WWE Wrestling-Mark Consumer Lifecycle".
This concept will help you understand why wrestling is in the state that its currently in and will help you to predict future trends. If that's something you may be interested to understand, then READ ON!
Now I warn you, this blog is intentionally long (2 Parts) because I want to emphasise certain points. If my writing style annoys you, thank you for reading this far, please feel free to stop reading now.
The graph explains the jist of it anyway.
If you do decide you still want to read on, please do me the simple courtesy of reading through to the end before commenting (It'll be fun… as Jake the Snake once said, "Trust Me").
I must mention that I am focusing this blog purely on the E. TNA, Japan and other promotions are out of scope for this article.
Ok now that's out of the way lets begin.
PHASE 1 Get Little Jimmy (6-12 year olds)
The WWE, as many of you know – or SHOULD know – is by default targeted towards children.
Think about that for a second.
Why children?
When I was a kid, wrestling was the coolest thing ever (and this was at a time when the industry was financially in the toilet). My friends and I idolized Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.
I'm sure that many of you who grew up in the 80s felt similarly about Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. They weren't around when I first started watching (WCW doesn't count because they didn't show it where I lived until 1996). So by default Bret Hart was the greatest wrestler ever to me and could take Hulk Hogan any day (I still feel that way today).
What about the kids today, who were either too young to enjoy Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in full pomp during the Attitude era? They need someone to look up to as well right? Enter the man the IWC loves to hate, John Cena.
cena kid.jpg
Like it or not, John Cena is this generation's Hulk Hogan. Believe me, it pains me to write this and I know I'm not the first person to say it. The 80s had Hogan, the 90s had Bret, the 00s had Cena.
For the sake of this article I shall refer to this original 6-12 year old consumer targeted by the WWE as "Little Jimmy".
You need a squeaky clean babyface for Little Jimmy to look up to and want to be like when they grow. Remember, the vast majority of children don't understand 'kayfabe'. Its still REAL to them dammit! This is reflected in their consumer behavior, they'll buy ANYTHING with their heroes on them: lunch boxes, action figures, t-shirts, you name it… It's a gold mine that the WWE simply MUST utilize if it is to stay financially solvent.
If you didn't start watching wrestling as a 6-12 year old, ask yourself "What else did I like when I was a kid". Transformers? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Pokemon? Naruto? Ben 10? Think of how much merchandise you or your friends bought as kids and you'll understand that for WWE to target Little Jimmy is simply "good business". This, as almost everyone knows, is the business reasoning for the PG era.
cena merch.jpg
PHASE 2 : 'Medium Jimmy' - Keep the Pre-Teens interested
Now having an established "Face of the Company" perform regularly in the main event for several years establishes the WWE brand in the consumer's mind.
The goodwill carried over from years of epic moments watching Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart (or John Cena * sigh*) , carries a lot of weight with Little Jimmy. Even though life's starting to get a bit harder and things aren't as simple and easy as just a few years ago.
During this time for whatever reason, the do-no-wrong babyface's popularity plateaus and eventually begins to decline. Does this sound familiar?
For Hogan this happened around the early 90s in the WWF (extended through his WCW run prior to the NWO). For Bret this started happening in 1996 when Vince wanted a younger, Shawn Michaels to be the new face of the company. Despite declining popularity, the top babyface usually still remains on top, but an urgent requirement for new stars to have their time in the sun emerges.
Bearing in mind that a new "Face of the Company" needs to be built in order to attract new 6-12 year olds, the company's target market is STILL Little Jimmy. Little Jimmy's going through some changes and doesn't enjoy the same stuff he used to.
I believe that we are currently entering this Phase of the lifecycle.
Middle Jimmy.jpg
This period of the lifecycle is usually when storylines start to get slightly edgier, babyfaces start acting a little bit like heels (and tweeners like Austin emerging) to reflect the growing frustration in Little Jimmy's Life. We also start seeing more violent matches, with (dare I say it)… blood! Poor Little Jimmy may not have been able to handle that a few years ago.
What do you guys think?
With the current storyline of John Laurinitis trying to remove Cena as the face of the company and Cena jobbing to The Rock, Tensai and possibly Brock are we really witnessing the beginning of a new Phase?
The early signs may be there, Cena bloodied on Raw, Brock Lesnar returning, CM Punk taking up the main face role on Raw...
Thank you for reading so far and check out PART 2! Look forward to reading your comments!

Mamas, I need your help. DS is 3.5 and is really starting to worry me. He is not potty trained yet. We are working on it, and sometimes he will sit on the potty, but so far it isn't happening. Also, DS was sick with hand, foot, and mouth this past week. The last 2 days he has been (I'm guessing) holding his pee. He will pee like only 1 or 2 times in an entire day regardless of how many fluids he is taking in. We can give him 40 oz of liquid and he will just. not. pee. I called the ped on call and he just said "what goes in eventually comes out" which wasn't very helpful. This morning he was screaming all morning that his penis hurt and "owie owie owie" to the point where we were in the car on the way to the ER when he finally peed (a massive amount, through the diaper and all over everything - which we were very encouraging about so he didn't feel shamed or anything, I was just happy he peed!) So we didn't take him to the ER (since we are 5 hours from home and in a strange city).
Sorry for the long disjointed saga. His penis has been red a few times lately, and once when he was complaining and I checked the diaper it looked like it had retracted so the head was visible (and red!). I wiped it down with a wipe and he said it felt better. I don't know what to do. It can't be good to hold the pee in. It can't be good that he is screaming owie. Aside from the slight redness at the tip of the penis there are no other weird signs.
I know he hasn't been manually retracted by anyone and it doesn't look to be infected or anything.
You mentioned that his glans looked really red so I wanted to mention that the normal color of the intact glans is often a very bright red/purple color and that is totally normal.

TypeIt4Me 5.4.0 and 5.4.0i released today. 09/01/2015 Comments Off on TypeIt4Me 5.4.0 and 5.4.0i released today.
Happy Friday, one and all!
We hope your 2015 got off to a flying start and that the new year will continue to be a healthy, prosperous one for you and yours. We've good tidings to impart: as some of our hawk-eyed customers have already noticed, there is a TypeIt4Me update afoot on the Mac side of things. Today we mark the release of TypeIt4Me 5.4.0 and 5.4.0i (Mac App Store version) into the wild.
This is a minor update for the time being to prepare the ground for a more substantial revamp we plan to release later this year in celebration of a major milestone in TypeIt4Me's long-running development. It addresses some bugs and should stabilise performance. More importantly, it smoothes over a few wrinkles you may have encountered with regard to activating accessibility in the Security & Privacy system preferences after upgrading to Mavericks and / or Yosemite.
We have taken the opportunity to clear up some potential confusion by applying the same version number to both the shareware app available directly from us and its Mac App Store sibling. As before, both versions offer exactly the same feature set, with the sole exception being that the Mac App Store incarnation (as denoted by the appended 'i') also supports iCloud syncing of snippets across devices. We would of course love to be able to offer this in both versions, but iCloud support is only possible in apps sold on the Mac App Store, as per Apple's policy.
That's it for now, but do keep an eye out for further news from us in the near future; we're cooking up some nice goodies we hope you'll like. Thanks for your time :)

iCloud woes 09/03/2014 Comments Off on iCloud woes
Several customers have reported the sudden disappearance of snippet files stored in iCloud.
So far, we haven't managed to reproduce this issue on our test devices so we don't know what causes it, let alone how to fix it (should it indeed turn out to be a defect in our code).
Meanwhile, please make sure you keep a regular backup of your snippets file so you can easily restore it should it suddenly disappear.
See this FAQ item:
If you find a reproducible step-by-step set of actions that leads to your snippets file disappearing from iCloud, please do email email@example.com as we would really like to work with you to stop this from ever happening.
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide and apologies if our software has unwittingly caused you to lose data and time.
Wanted: Sounds4Fun beta testers 02/01/2014 2 Comments
Break out the confetti and party hats, because everyone's favourite whacky noise-enabling Mac app will soon be 64.
…64-bit that is: we're updating Sounds4Fun for Mavericks and the latest generation of Macs. It's not quite old enough to claim a pension or enjoy free bus travel just yet, though its code heritage does date back to 1987 when its granddaddy – SndControl – was first released.
To cut a long story short, we're looking for a few volunteers to test drive the new 64-bit Sounds4Fun and help us smooth out any
bugs unintentional features that may be hidden therein.
If you'd like to help, please email email@example.com to let us know why you would like to join the Beta Testers group and what model Mac and OS X version you'd be testing with.
Thanks and Happy New Year! Hope your 2014 has got off to a great start.
TypeIt4Me and OS X 10.9 Mavericks 23/10/2013 52 Comments
Good day to you fine folks making your way out there in the Macosphere. It's been an eventful week, wouldn't you say? Here at ES headquarters we've just about recovered from Tuesday's spectacular Apple media event, though we almost had to be revived with smelling salts after the big reveal of the new Retina display iPad mini. What a razor sharp beauty.
Of course, the other big news was the launch of Mavericks. In the wake of Apple's newest operating system being released for public consumption, we've been contacted by a number of customers asking how to make TypeIt4Me play nicely with OS X 10.9. As some of you have already discovered, Apple has re-jigged the Accessibility system settings in Mavericks and TypeIt4Me is disabled immediately after upgrading. Don't worry, though, for help is at hand. All you need to do to get it working normally again is follow these simple steps:
- Open System Preferences
- Click the Security & Privacy preference pane
- Click the Privacy tab
- Navigate to the Accessibility section
- Click the padlock icon and enter your admin password if required
- Tick the checkbox next to TypeIt4Me.app (see the screenshot below)
- Close the System Preferences window, quit TypeIt4Me and relaunch it.
That's all there is to it. TypeIt4Me should now work normally again and you ought not to encounter any further issues. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience if this has troubled you. We'll shortly be releasing an updated Mavericks-savvy version of TypeIt4Me, but we're posting these instructions so as not to leave anyone high and dry in the meantime. If you do run into any other unexpected hiccups, we'll be happy to troubleshoot them with you.
Hopefully this allays any fears you may have had about upgrading to OS X 10.9 and losing the use of your TypeIt4Me abbreviations. If that's all that's been holding you back, we'd encourage you to take the plunge and install Mavericks. Our experience so far is that it offers great performance improvements overall; it's even breathed new life into some of the wheezy older machines we keep lying around for
sentimental reasons testing purposes. Surf's up…enjoy!
[Edit: a few people have found that even after following these steps TypeIt4Me remains disabled. You may need to log out and then log back in. If it *still* won't cooperate, try opening your TypeIt4Me preferences, click on the Expansion tab and ensure the checkbox for 'Disable keyboard expansion' is *not* selected. There appears to be a bug that switches it on for some people – we'll look to fix that in the next release.]
MacTech Live interviews Riccardo [WWDC 2013 video] 01/09/2013 Comments Off on MacTech Live interviews Riccardo [WWDC 2013 video]
Good afternoon, fellow iPhiles. Can you detect a certain fruity autumn buzz in the air? September has rolled around at last and there's just over a week to go until Apple unveils its newest droolworthy range of handheld digital life-enablers. Assuming the steady drip feed of leaked photos is indeed legit, swanky new champagne and graphite models are set to join the family. Looking beyond purely cosmetic developments, though, here at Ettore Software HQ we're keen to see what innovative new hardware features the upcoming iPhone 5S will offer. For our part, fingers are tightly crossed that we'll get an elegant one-touch thumbprint sensor unlocking system, which would do away with awkward PIN-based security and represent something of a godsend to those of us who are, er, all thumbs.
…Anyhoo, we thought some of you might be interested in this recently published video that was recorded during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. In it, grey-bearded Ettore Software founder Riccardo chats with Neil Ticktin of MacTech Live, sharing some cautious initial thoughts on how the just-revealed iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks might fit in with our company's app roadmap. He may give away little of substance about our future plans, but it's worth watching for the entertaining thumb dance, if nothing else.
Get TypeIt4Me in an AppyFridays smart bundle for $9.99. 21/08/2013 Comments Off on Get TypeIt4Me in an AppyFridays smart bundle for $9.99.
Hello again, we have a little heads up for you bargain hunters out there. AppyFridays are offering a great software bundle deal right now. If you act fast, you can purchase TypeIt4Me bundled together with a couple of other very useful Mac apps at 90% off their combined retail value.
Get TypeIt4Me along with Task Paper and Backup Guru for just $9.99. Any of you who missed out on grabbing TypeIt4Me on special offer before it reverted to its regular $19.99 price point in June would do well not to sleep on this one. If you want to take advantage of it, you'll need to get a wriggle on: the smart bundle offer expires on August 22nd, i.e. tomorrow. Happy hunting!
The TypeIt4Me $4.99 Special Offer is Ending Soon… 21/05/2013 8 Comments
Greetings and salutations, would-be customers. Should you wish to avail yourselves of a copy of TypeIt4Me for the outrageously modest price of $4.99 in US dollars, you have just 10 days left to do so. Our longest-running promotion is finally drawing to a close: the current 75% off TypeIt4Me special offer will expire at the end of this month. Any of you who may have been planning to purchase our flagship text expander app for the Mac would do well to take the plunge sooner rather than later, before the price goes back up to $19.99.
If you cast your minds back to the heady euphoria of 2012's Olympic summer, you may remember that in a fit of exuberant generosity we slashed 75% off the regular price of TypeIt4Me for a limited time. Resulting in a price $4 lower than the cost of a regular $8.99 licence upgrade, this was a goodwill gesture designed to allow existing customers to transition to our new iCloud-enabled Mac App Store version without having to pay the full $19.99 again.
The temporary price drop has proved to be a very popular move and uptake of this special offer has been high. With TypeIt4Me having remained at the super low $4.99 price point for well over 9 months, it's our considered assessment that customers have been afforded ample opportunity to take advantage of the offer. We feel now is an appropriate time to return to business as usual, so from June 1st, TypeIt4Me will once again cost $19.99 USD. We would urge you to grab it from the Mac App Store before then in order to save yourselves some wedge, get iCloud syncing and enjoy free 5.x updates. If you prefer, you can also still buy version 5.2.1 directly from us. It's almost identical to the App Store version but does not include iCloud support.
Any crestfallen stragglers who may be reading this having arrived at the party too late to catch the special offer, don't despair. We hope you'll discover that even at full price TypeIt4Me still represents outstanding value for money, particularly in view of the fact that similarly full-featured text expansion apps currently on the market would set you back around $30-$35.
As ever, we're very grateful for all the support and encouragement we've received and will continue in our efforts to bring you software that will make your lives easier. Many thanks -and stay tuned for future announcements and promotions.
TypeIt4Me Featured in MacLife's "20 Killer Mac Apps Under $20″ 20/05/2013 Comments Off on TypeIt4Me Featured in MacLife's "20 Killer Mac Apps Under $20″
Psssst. Eagle-eyed followers of our software offerings may have spotted that TypeIt4Me is featured on the cover of MacLife magazine's June 2013 edition, as part of its 20 Killer Mac Apps Under $20 feature. Why not seize the moment and grab a copy of TypeIt4Me while it's still on special offer for under five bucks? It won't be available at such a silly low price for much longer…
TypeIt4Me 5.3.2 maintenance update is in the Mac App Store now. 18/02/2013 Comments Off on TypeIt4Me 5.3.2 maintenance update is in the Mac App Store now.
Good news, everyone: we're pleased to announce that TypeIt4Me 5.3.2 is now available to download at the Mac App Store. Before you get too excited though, please note that it's a maintenance update only. As much as we'd love to go crazy and add a bunch of cool new stuff to TypeIt4Me's repertoire of text expanding tricks, this would unfortunately fall foul of Apple's new rules governing Mac App Store updates. We're strictly prohibited from tacking new functionality onto non-sandboxed apps in the store, and as sandboxing TypeIt4Me would seriously impair its usefulness this release focuses on fixing bugs instead. Those of you who were really holding out hope for a new built-in shortcut that automatically writes your term papers for you, we're sorry to have to disappoint you there.
Now that we've managed your expectations we can move swiftly on to detail the more joyous tidings that this release otherwise brings with it. After a busy few months tinkering under the hood, we've given TypeIt4Me a tune-up to ensure that it runs more smoothly. A number of outstanding glitches and performance issues that some of you reported have been addressed. Specifically, for this spit and polish update we've:
- Corrected the "missing file" message where you should instead see "do not expand" or "expand using…" in the Applications tab of Preferences.
- Added the missing US flag when selecting AutoCorrect with US locale (the Union Jack was already there for British locale users).
- Fixed cursor positioning in snippets including date/time.
- Fixed a bug that cropped up when saving changes with a filter on.
- Fixed an issue where adding a snippet to a set in iCloud would cause the focus to be lost or jump to the wrong snippet.
- Fixed an issue encountered when trying to insert a clipping within another clipping via the insert menu at the bottom right. Previously, nothing was available to insert – the "clipping" menu was empty.
- Fixed converting a plain text, tab delimited file to TypeIt4Me format.
- Fixed an issue related to the snippets file not being in its correct location (Sets folder inside TypeIt4Me's Application Support folder).
Once again, many thanks to those of you who helped us to identify these issues so that we could remedy them. And while we're at it, kudos to Apple for honouring its pledge to allow developers to continue fixing bugs in their non-sandboxed Mac App Store offerings.
We hope you'll get on well with this update – it may not be a revolutionary leap forward, but it ought to improve your TypeIt4Me experience, nonetheless. As always, we welcome customer feedback. If you run into any further performance issues, please let us know about them so we can sort them out for you.

breathe with purpose
Hi- My name is Tori. I apologize for our first meeting being over the Internet. However, I will do my best to explain who I am, my hobbies, and a brief description of dating interests I deem fit into my life. This text box requires 150 characters minimum of writing, so let the rambling begin… First and foremost, I put others before myself. I love my family, my friends, and even sharing a laugh with a complete stranger. I am easily amused. I understand sarcasm and silliness. I like audiobooks. I enjoy writing my poetry book when writer's block isn't taking full possession of me. I like to watch movies. I like all sorts of music. I like hiking occasionally. I like stretching to increase flexibility and overall well being. I like brisk walks. I am a vegetarian. I love spicy food. I love animals. I love to dance. I danced for 14 years, Varsity dance team for two years. Also, camping is perfect. I somehow manage to find a proper excuse to eat s'mores. On a more serious note, I believe in healing powers and alternative therapies. My belief has led me to pursue massage therapy as a career. I've always volunteered for performing massage to family members and their injuries. I attend to their needs because I feel I am called to this specialty work. I am currently attending Phoenix College for the CORE Therapeutic Massage program. I go to school full-time. I work part-time at Embassy Suites Hotels. I've had enough on my biography. Are there any takers? Anyone smitten? Or let's be realistic… anyone feeling lustful? Last time I checked, I saw your profile pic I was all "You're hot!" not "I'm totally in love with you" *drool*. I'm looking for a match that is: an animal lover, charming appeal and personality, exudes confidence, funny, family oriented, moderately physically active or more, smart in your own unique way

It may not look like it from my picture, but I can run really fast
Online dating? So what do I do here? Do I wink at you, maybe poke you. Although, I thought the poke was always a little forward before I met someone. This could be the first time I've met someone sitting in front of my computer. I enjoy people watching and laughing at them,especially in a walmart or most public places. I love to joke around and always try to keep the positive side which can be a challenge when I'm being sarcastic half the time. I don't take myself too seriously and find it easy to laugh at myself with the situations we end up having during our everyday lives. I moved down here 8 years ago from the Sacramento area after college and just haven't seemded to find a reason to move back. My family is still in norcal and they are a big part of my life, but sorry ma, I don't miss the seasons that bad. I'm still a big SF Giants fan and try to catch a game everytime they are down here. I enjoy sports, but I'm always down to try new experiences and if I miss a game I can handle it. I'm looking for someone to see new places and experience new and everyday events. I love to cook. Wouldn't mind cooking for someone else as long as that someone does the dishes. I try to eat healthy and treat my body well, but can always tackle a burger when needed. I enjoy a little vino and a cocktail or two, but don't really party like I used too. Guess I'm at the age where I enjoy my weekends and not hangovers.

Doc Rivers didn't bolt Boston to make the Clippers just another team in the Western Conference that's fun to watch. Rivers was thinking big from the get-go, as he made clear Wednesday. "I know what I think we can be, and I think that we have a realistic chance of being the winner at the end of the year," Rivers told USA Today. Rivers spoke after a news conference to introduce the Clippers' free agent signees. New additions Jared Dudley, J.J. Redick and Darren Collison joined Chris Paul, Ryan Hollins and Matt Barnes, who were retained from last season's roster, with Rivers merely watching. The Clippers did have to part with Eric Bledsoe as part of the deal to acquire Redick, but Rivers and the rest of the Clippers sounded confident that the team should remain a favorite in the West. At least, Rivers thinks so, anyway.

After receiving one cycle of rituximab, 12 of the 17 patients showed a good clinical response, with significant improvement in the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28). At the time of B cell recovery, the IgD +, CD27+ memory B cell subset was significantly larger in the nonresponder group. Within the group of 12 responders, 6 patients experienced an early relapse of RA activity, between 24 and 40 weeks after rituximab treatment. The relapsers were characterized by a significantly higher proportion of overall CD27+ memory B cells before therapy. 11 patients were re-treated and again achieved a good clinical response. After the second cycle of rituximab, the pattern of B cell reconstitution was repeated. The number of B cells was still reduced at the time of second depletion but recovered to levels similar to those following the first cycle of therapy. This indicates an unimpaired capacity of B cell regeneration after repeated B cell depletion.
Based on statistical analysis, the researchers found a significant correlation between the size of the IgD +, CD27+ memory B cell subset during the early phase of B cell repletion and the response to anti-CD20 treatment. "Patients with lower numbers of IgD memory cells at the beginning of peripheral B cell repopulation had a much more favorable clinical response," notes Dr. Tony. "Therefore, the extent of memory B cell repletion seems to be a key factor influencing the pathophysiology of RA."
While revealing a potentially important target for rituximab therapy in RA, this study calls for further research into whether patients with a high level of particular memory B cells may benefit from early re-treatment or may even require higher doses of this anti-CD20 antibody.

When it came time to build a playground for the preschool at our church, we did what post-modern parents do. We hired an expert to show us how. This is the age of the overeducated but skill-less parent. We can operate the tools of our jobs—fax machines, computers, telephone voice mail—but we can't do simple household repairs or put in a decent garden. Our ignorance about everyday tasks is so vast we support a cottage industry of practical consultants to teach our children basic skills, such as manners and sewing.
The playground expert our church hired is named Jimi Jolley. Jolley, 41, has designed and built 99 playgrounds all over the world, from Germany to Israel. Our church is in Dripping Springs, just 25 miles from Austin, where Jolley lives, and he agreed to do the job for $6,200, an amount that included all the materials plus his time. His fee schedule is flexible, but normally his basic design work costs $1,000.
At six four, with long hair, a single feather earring, and wire-rimmed glasses, Jolley is a remnant of the past, a hippie in the nineties. In the late sixties he owned a leather business in Florida. In the mid-seventies he taught at a preschool, where he built his first playground. Now he teaches a class in infant development at Austin Community College and is working on his Ph.D. in early childhood development with a specialty in playground design at the University of Texas. In his spare time he builds playgrounds. Twenty years ago, doctorates in playground design did not exist, but then neither did post-modern parents.
The first time I met Jolley he told me that a seven-year-old in India can do more with a Swiss army knife than most thirty-year-olds in America can do with an entire tool kit. For three weekends last summer, Jolley's job was to bring the thirty families involved in the building of our playground up to technical speed with seven-year-olds in India. He did that, and in addition, he gave form, substance, and safety to our dreams of play.
During the initial planning meeting with Jolley, the parents and children said they wanted seesaws, swings, and slides. Jolley's eyes widened with the wisdom of experience. "Fine," he advised, "but the kids will get tired of the standard stuff." Part of his theory is that playgrounds should be more than a series of permanent toys and that kids learn by building things themselves. He suggested that we construct freestanding objects for the children to manipulate on their own: chunky building blocks cut from excess two-by-fours, planters to house gardens, a wood-framed Plexiglas easel to draw on with crayons, paint, and shaving cream.
He was also eminently practical. "There are five ways kids can get hurt on seesaws," Jolley explained. They fall off backward. They get thrown forward. Their fingers get caught in the fulcrum point. Their feet get caught under the bar, and finally, their tailbones get bruised from abrupt descents. "This seesaw," he said, pointing to his own, made of wood with used tires as cushions at strategic points, "prevents all five injuries."
As Jolley's concept took shape, however, I began to feel cold stabs of panic. Even on paper the playground seemed impossibly out of reach. Its primary feature was a large hill built over a tunnel of concrete conduit four feet in diameter. Behind the hill was a banisterlike slide and various ladders, poles, and playhouses, all connected by a suspension bridge made of tires linked by chain. A tricycle path wound around the base of the hill. To one side of the hill were three kinds of swings, made of wood, rubber, and metal bars. A playhouse, a seesaw, and a shed filled with the wooden building blocks were on the other side.
Other exotic features—such as three wooden frames holding tires split in half like bagels so the kids could fill them with water and let it cascade to the level below—expanded on the basic playground elements. The conduit-pipe tunnel was connected by speaking tubes so that the children could hide in the tunnel and yell at each other "long distance."
Many of the materials would be donated. Tire companies happily gave us a mountain of different-sized used tires, saving themselves a disposal fee. In addition, we got free conduit pipes from a highway contractor. Still, the work to be done seemed formidable, particularly because we parents were supposed to build all of the structures with the sweat of our brows and the work of our hands.
"Dream on," I thought to myself. I knew that many of the other mothers were as poorly skilled as I, and I remembered the occasion when, as a sophomore in college, I had told my mother that I didn't have time to learn to sew because I was too busy learning political philosophy. Twenty years later, I seldom if ever think about the nuances of liberty versus equality, but hardly a day goes by that I don't face an unraveled hem or a missing button.
The next Saturday morning I showed up at the church even though I was confident there was nothing I could do to help. A work crew of about sixty volunteers soon assembled on the rocky lot we hoped to recreate as a mighty temple of play for our restless children. At eight o'clock, Jolley pulled into the parking lot driving his 1970 pink Chevrolet truck with a small plastic Gumby on the hood. The minute he arrived the children began to chant, "Ji-mi Jol-ley! Ji-mi Jol-ley!" as though he were their own personal Wizard of Oz.
There was no turning back.
Quickly Jolley took charge. Some of the

New York State has awarded seven research teams $3.3 million to develop smart grid technologies that use innovative methods to "enhance grid performance, reduce the risk of power outages, and lessen environmental impacts and energy consumption, all while reducing the cost of power delivery."
New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo explains, "As we continue to witness the impacts of extreme weather, it is more important than ever to invest in making our energy infrastructure stronger and smarter. These projects will improve grid resiliency, strengthen utility performance and make the delivery of energy more efficient. By investing in these seven smart grids, we are further readying the State for the new reality of severe weather, and ensuring that the work we do today will mean fewer power outages and more deliberate energy consumption in the future."
To qualify for funding, award recipients proposed projects design to improve the reliability, efficiency, quality and overall performance of the electric power delivery system in New York State. According to the Governor's office, "Proposals were required to demonstrate significant statewide public benefit and quantify all energy, environmental and economic impacts. Developing smart grids is part of the New York State Public Service Commission's Renewable Energy Vision (REV), which calls for identifying smart grid technologies to facilitate increased distributed power generation to promote electricity load management and greater system efficiency."
Projects receiving money include Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island ($250,000), which plans to create a program that can enhance storm model predictions and the expected responses.
Clarkson University will receive $381,000 to help design a resilient underground microgrid. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is partnering with Clarkson University, National Grid, General Electric, SUNY Potsdam and other local businesses to plan and design a large microgrid system to generate electricity for a number of entities in the Village of Potsdam. The power system would supply electricity to Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam, along with Canton-Potsdam Hospital and National Grid's Potsdam Service Center.
NYSERDA president and chief executive officer John B. Rhodes adds: "These innovative approaches to smart grids are important steps forward in making our electric grid more efficient, reliable, resilient and clean. They are also powerful examples of New York State's drive under Governor Cuomo's leadership to transform the way electricity is valued, generated, distributed and consumed in New York State, and a key building block for the State's Reforming Energy Vision for the State's electric system."

A blood culture is a test on a sample of blood to check for
bacteria, a fungus, or sometimes viruses in the bloodstream. The test may be done if a doctor suspects a blood
infection. A blood culture may help determine the specific organism causing an infection and select the appropriate antibiotic to treat
Usually a blood culture is needed only if a person is severely ill.
Blood cultures are commonly done when a person has a high fever or shaking
chills that mean there may be an infection of the blood.
It usually takes between 1 and 3 days to get the results of a blood
culture. But a blood culture to look for a fungus or virus can take weeks.
