BEFORE YOU RESPOND: Read the post IN FULL. THIS IS NOT saying that women who dress provocatively are in part responsable for being raped. This is saying that women who dress provactively are contributing to a climate of objectification which will, in the end, lead to people who will view women as objects to be dominated.
This newstory highlighted this issue in my mind, along with a discussion I had with the person who helped organise an event like this in Canada. I'd like to shift the terms of the debate a little to make people see that this isn't one way.
The problem with these events in my mind, is that they massively oversimplify to the point of demonising men.
Now at this point, I should say, that in no way do I detract any responsability from the rapist in the rape scenerio. The rapist, asuming they are of sound mind, has complete responsability for his actions. They are capable of deciding what to do with their own bodies, and if they will attack/damage the bodies of others. However, to look at their motivations, we must look at our culture.
Part of this protest's main issue was the claim that we live in a culture where it is taught that women should avoid rape, rather than that men should not rape. That's absurd. Everyone knows that rape is wrong. No one needs teaching that. It is axiomatical. Telling someone who does rape that isn't going to change anything. Instead, we have to look deeper at our culture to understand what is wrong.
The problem, as far as I see it, is objectification. A rapist does not view their victim as a person equal to themselves. If they did, they most likly would not go through with the rape, simple as. Instead, they have objectified their target, turned them into something which they desire power over, an object to own and dominate.
A culture that accepts objectification, is however, a two way thing. While a woman who wears a skimpy outfit is in no way in the immediate situation causing herself to be raped, or somehow making herself take any of the responsability away from any potential rapist, it should be pointed out that such outfits contribute to a culture of objectification, which is going to make rape more likly.
The fact of the matter is that provocative outfits are also objectifying outfits. Regardless of how a woman feels about them, how a man views them is different. In my view, women at some stage have to stand up and take some responsabilty for the culture of rape we exist within. Right now, the way that feminisim is, you simply cannot counter attack without being labeled a mysoginist. Naturally, this is a two way street. Women have to stop self-objectifying and men need to stop presuing women to objectify themselves. There is very much such a thing as elegent beauty without raunch culture. We need to remember this.
Views: 1198
And women don't objectify themselves. Men objectify the women.
But women do wear clothing that will encourage men to do that. Hence the objectification.
Men do objectify women, but women also objectify themselves. Here's a rather good article explaining it.
Let's look at it this way. There's a psychotic madman waving a gun outside my house. I run out with a rubber chicken, look him in the eye, and comment upon his mother's promiscuity. I proceed to get shot in my groin. Is it my fault that my family jewels are now lying in a pool of blood 10 feet away? Hell no. The 28th amendment clearly gives me the right to insult a man's mother in the presence of a rubber chicken. But there are very clear steps I could have taken to avoid being shot. Should we be teaching the general populace how not to be psychotic madmen, or should I be less of a douchebag, even though I was perfectly entitled to call his mother the best whore on the dollar menu, and that she has the saggiest pair of earlobes I have ever seen, and that she...
Hmm. Somewhere, I think i got a little off topic. Oh well. I think I've made my point (?)
I think your beliefs have fallen victim to what society tells you. They say that it's okay (or at least normal) to treat/think of women who are scantily clad or showing a little cleavage as less than human.
At what point have I suggested such a thing. I'm going to say this till I am blue in the fingers if I have to. I am NOT saying that women who wear slutty clothing deserve to get raped.
WE ALL need to teach our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends that under no circumstances is it okay to objectify anyone or rape anyone.
I agree with you here, but arn't women who wear slutty clothes simply not helping the point if they are going about objectifying themselves.
Also, obviously not everyone knows that rape isn't okay or was taught that or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Please. The vast majority of the time, people don't do bad things because they don't know those things are bad. They do it because they don't care.
Now something I'd like to point out is that I know a girl who was brutally raped in my college dorm in the room next to mine and I know for a fact she wasn't wearing anything "provocative".
You've misunderstood me. Again. Like about a thousand other people on this thread. I have not, am not, and will not say "People who wear slutty clothes are more likly to get raped" that isn't what I am saying. I'm saying that they contribute to a culture of objectification which adds to the likelihood of people commuting rape. I am not suggesting that the victims of rape are somehow responsible.
At what point have I suggested such a thing. I'm going to say this till I am blue in the fingers if I have to. I am NOT saying that women who wear slutty clothing deserve to get raped.
Please. The vast majority of the time, people don't do bad things because they don't know those things are bad. They do it because they don't care.
On the other hand you've insinuated that it's perfectly ok (and only natural, really) to not take them seriously.
No, I havn't. What I have said is that is what people do. I accept that this isn't a good thing and that people should stop. I have said on several occasions, men need to change too. The reason I am bringing up the female responsability is because that is what people most resist.
They do it because they don't think they have to worry that it's bad. The easiest explanation to why is that they don't really think it's wrong - at least not in this case.
No, the easiest explaination is that they are dismissing the fact that its wrong. If you were to take a thief and explain to them why stealing is wrong, chances are they wouldn't disagree with you, they're not some kind of anti-property anarchists etc most of the time. But they just dismissis it.
Okay I understand that. What I'm saying is that the definition of what is slutty and what isn't is a matter of perspective. I don't think mini-skirts or cleavage are slutty. What is your definition of provocative attire? I think really the problem that the two are going to really disagree on is that question. Also if we didn't label those things as sexy or whatever, which was really the point I was trying to make before, and we treated them as much the norm as pants and a t-shirt then would they honestly be contributing to anything? I'm not saying that you are blaming the victims in anyway but when you say I am not suggesting that the victims of rape are somehow responsible I have to disagree with you. You may not have intended to imply that (I honestly do believe that you would never actually place blame on the victim) but the way you have phrased your argument that's the way it reads. What I've gathered is that what your saying is it's kinda like you should know not to walk around outside, especially in flat areas where you are the tallest thing, in a thunderstorm. If you get struck by lightning it's not your fault you can't predict that kind of thing but by being outside you are upping the probability the lightning is going to hit something and that something may or may not be you.
Women are responsible for objectification -----> Men objectifying women------------->Women getting raped
This is a different point to the one that Vertigo One was making, but I feel it's relevant to the argument nonetheless. And Kenny made the same or a similar one earlier, but I think it bears repeating.
I have a friend who whenever I lend him money doesn't return it. I've had this friend over a year now and I'm well aware of this pattern, so much so that whenever I "lend" him money I don't expect to see it back. I'm sure some of you have similar friends. The other day I ended up leaving him a receipt to go and collect 50 pounds that a mutual friend of ours owed me (long story). End result is that the money has now been spent, and I probably won't see it all again (I can only hope some of it will come back).
Clearly my friend is the one responsible for the spending of the money, or the deed. And while I did not deserve what happened I am still partially to blame because despite knowing this friend's history with finances I set up a situation where it was very likely to happen.
The way this applies to the current debate is obvious, if not controversial. If a person puts themselves in a situation where they are likely to be raped, they are partially to blame. By which I don't mean walking down the street at day in a provocative outfit, I mean more along the lines of being drunk and walking home in the dead of night round a dodgy part of town.
Which isn't to say they deserved it or that the world should tolerate rapists, it is merely an observation that if you expose yourself to danger you shouldn't be wholly surprised when it hurts you. If I was to go swimming in a pond full of crocodiles and was eaten the deed would be the crocodiles, but I would still be partially to blame for my fate.
The difficulty is that rape cases can vary from highly inebriated sex to premeditated attacks. If a drunk girl goes home with a guy after a night out and then calls rape you have to wonder what she was expecting. If a girl is attacked walking through a dodgy area in the dead of night the same applies to a lesser degree. The world isn't a nice place, and people should understand that.
And before you call sexist on me, that philosophy goes for all kinds of crime. I don't leave my wallet at the bus stop and expect it to be there when I get back.
The culture of objectification that V1 references is interesting, but I believe it's partly natural. I think men are predisposed to look at women as objects. We are enticed by hourglass shaped bodies, nicely proportioned boobs and bums. I think women are more attracted to men by behavioural ticks - a confident walk, authoritative tone of voice. Equally shallow, but focusing on a more abstract quality; there are confident nice guys and confident arseholes. But that's just my opinion.

|Two Schools Aim to Make a Degree Accessible and Affordable
|Published Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Business NH Magazine
Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth and Southern New Hampshire University, based out of Manchester, have developed an academic articulation agreement that allows students who have completed an Associate Degree program at Great Bay Community College to automatically matriculate to SNHU to complete their bachelor's degree. Participation in this dual admission agreement can take place at the time of the student's acceptance to Great Bay or any time prior to graduation from Great Bay. The program will be available to students starting a program at Great Bay beginning this Fall. Classes start on August 31.
"This partnership represents another successful collaboration between colleges that makes earning a degree for students more accessible and affordable," said Diane Chin, dean of academic affairs for Great Bay. "The agreement is unique in that course transfer is not restricted to specific programs either from Great Bay or to SNHU. All courses transfer directly from a program into a program. All academic course work in which a student has earned a 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) or grade of C or higher in individual courses is fully transferable from Great Bay."
Chin also said students must enroll at SNHU within one year of completing their program at Great Bay. "Ultimately, taking upwards of 60 community college credits significantly defrays the overall cost of a private institution and offers a seamless pathway to a bachelor's degree."
In addition to the long-term cost savings on tuition that the program affords, students also benefit from a waiver of their application fees to SNHU. Dual admission also allows prospective SNHU students to secure the curriculum requirements of the academic year in which they are accepted and SNHU Advisors meet with students enrolled in the program at regular intervals to advise on course selection and provide program information.
As an added benefit, students who enroll as a full-time resident student at SNHU with an overall CGPA of 3.0-3.49 or higher from Great Bay will receive a $5000 academic scholarship. Students with a CGPA of 3.5-4.0 will receive a $6000 scholarship. These scholarships are for the academic year and renewable if the student receives a CGPA of at least 3.0 at SNHU.
"We have always worked very closely with our community colleges and we are delighted to strengthen our ties with Great Bay," said SNHU President Paul LeBlanc. "We also know that students often face financial challenges, and we are committing to a substantial scholarship program that rewards academic performance and eases the financial burden on students."
Great Bay Community College recently merged its Stratham and Portsmouth locations to one campus, located in Portsmouth at the Pease International Tradeport. Students transferring from Great Bay may enroll at SNHU in the full-time, day program in Manchester, online or through any of its continuing education centers, which offer evening, weekends and online courses at campuses in Portsmouth, Manchester, Nashua, Salem, NH and Brunswick, ME.

I had the pleasure of eating at Pranna last night and it was an amazing dining experience. First of all the place is just gorgeous, the food was delicious and the service including the manager that walks around ensuring that the patrons are having a good time are just top of the line. I am not sure why some reviewers did not like the food. Are they sure they were eating at Pranna and not somewhere else. It is also a great place for drinks after work, cool vibe good looking people. Pranna is a winner! Do yourself a favor and go check it out and treat yourself to a wonderful dining experience. Order the Duo of Spring Rolls, the Mango Fried Rice and the Green Curry and Thai Basil Cod- All totally delicious.

Nice comfortable seating along with gorgeous room and flavorful food. Very attentive service and very good wine list as well. After dinner we stayed in the lounge for cocktails and they were perfect. Enjoyed the dragon fly the most. The satays are shareable and its a great place for large groups.

Great jamming, happening place, great ambiance, service food and specialty drinks....surrounded by great people
Posted by Thom K. on 12/22/2008
My date and I came to this place for the decor alone...but were quite satisfied with the fare. Good flavor combinations, excellent teas, fantastic atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly, not at all pushy. It is, however, a tad expensive but...considering all of the positives it's money well spent. We'll definitely be going back!

Walking in to this colassal Madison Ave eatery, you'd think you were in for a wholly decandent experience. Pardon my lack of encomium, but I recommend going there for all but the food. Their drinks and main bar/lounge are all as perfect as can be (try the tamarind mohito, and the muddled kiwi butterfly something spectacular!). Even the downstairs, main dining room, and upstairs are just striking! If you're looking to bring some out of towners to a very impressive looking venue for original & well mixed cocktails, you've found your place. The apps are find and dandy, accompanied by wonderful sauces. The main dishes pale in comparison, in that they're not seasoned properly (I sat with a table of 12, and all but 2 were dissatisfied) and frankly, aren't all that tasty! That includes the desserts. Skip dessert order tea. Their tea menu is incredible (really!!) and will leave your palate satisfied after a deficient meal.

The menu is an eclectic mix of Thai, Indian and more with many dishes that sounded absolutely delicious. The problem was with the ution. Everything came out looking great but tasting just slightly off, from our shrimp and bacon satay (couldn't taste the bacon) and our minced beef satay (dry and bland) all the way until our trio of iced cream (chocolate stout ice cream had a bad aftertaste) and chocolate cookies (no taste). It's a gorgeous place with lots of cool areas to sit and have cocktails, but I wouldn't return for a full sit down dinner.

Text DANNY to 38383 To Vote For Danny's Cause
While in college, Danny learned that his 9 year old cousin, Roger, was living in a car. After lots of maneuvering Danny helped him move from the Honda to a house, but was deeply disturbed by the little control Roger had over his own situation. Danny took action and created Together We Rise, a youth led organization dedicated to running programs that not only bring a sense of normalcy and stability to children in foster care, but also allow foster children to make their own choices. Through programs like music lessons, mentoring, sports and athletics, resume building, and job-readiness, Together We Rise provides the resources for foster kids to prepare for success at age 18 when they are kicked out of the foster care system, and left to fend for themselves. With the help of Danny and Together We Rise they have reached 3,000 foster care youth through these programs, providing a better opportunity for long-term success.

He only ask for ways to make it better. Better can mean both better quality or better performance. I guess he need both, or am i wrong? Anyway, in my config i kept the veryhigh settings for good visuals and tweaked some other things.. result was a 7 - 10 fps increase witch give me an average fps of around 30 with drops to 25.. And it feels rather smooth and definately playable. Cant wait for the new patch...
POM is no good agentkay, it cost around 5 fps and it only looks good closeup. Near distant and distant grounds get blurry because the texture lockup used with POM doesn't support AF, it will look bad. So i suggest you go for more performance and better textures and disable POM. Besides even without POM the textures sill have regular bumpmapping. Do what fits you best with motionblur and stuff. I personally like it when the mountains and distance are blurred slightly. It looks better.

7 thoughts on "The Problem With Hell"
James Thompson
Mat.25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the (eternal fire) {aionios} which has been prepared for the devil and his angels/ John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have (eternal life) {aionios}. If hell is not eternal, then neither is heaven. You might as will wright: "no hope be on heaven".
People go to hell because they are sinners. Jesus did not come into to the world to condemn the world, John 3:17. The world is already condemned, Jesus came into the world to saved them that believe.
If people don't go to hell, what about satan and his demons? is it eternal for them? I thank God that He has saved me from the wrath to come!
There are actually three kinds of wrath in the Bible.
1.Every unbeliever, John 3:36
2.Apokalupic Wrath, Jesus' second coming, Rev.6:12-17
3.Eternal Wrath, the Lake of Fire, Rev.20:11-15
Blessings! hey, lets get back to the Bible, there is a lost world who needs the Gospel, that is why He told us to teach it. Because millions everyday are dying and many of them without Christ.
In Nepal where I go to minister, is some villages they offer a little girl each year, to get the god of the land to bless them. But today there are many churches built, because people believe the Bible. If i believed that their was no more hell, I would stop preaching the good new, that Jesus saves. and Villages in Nepal and other countries would still be offering their little girls to some demon. Please I beg you in Jesus name, preach the whole truth! and throw a net and save the lost. Don't deny that there is no hell, that will just exploit more souls into the Lake of Fire. Jesus loves them, don't you!
Was Christ's ministry actually meant to be 3 years? Since God did not envision the eternal torment of 3/4 of his children, was it actually necessary for Christ to be killed? We put so much emphasis on the atonement, while giving Adam far more power than God ever had. Imagine, having the power and control of the entire world's salvation on your hands, whether you so called sinned or not. Then hell comes into the latin picture. Just curious.

Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
wow! Thank you all for the kind words. I really like the idea behind this board because I know sometimes I have a hard time coming up with ideas. You've already done a lot of the work for me by providing such great photo combinations!
Alex- I love your sketch of the nativity scene. It is promising to become a nice watercolor painting. I can see the motherly expression of the lady already. Keep at it. I can't wait to see the finished piece.
C&C are welcome and appreciated.
Jordan and Suzette- Welcome to our little group. I am glad that you both decided to join instead of just looking. We are having fun here and we are happy to meet new friends.
Jordan- Your acrylic painting of the bottle is very good. It has reflection of the light that making it look like glass. The screen lines are o.k. nice and strong and some are curvy like all screens do. Did you paint on the dark board or you painted it black before you started your painting? I like painting on black background too. It really set off whatever colors you put on. Acrylic is my favorite medium too since it's very giving.
Yes, you can pick and paint as many as you want from any Challenges even from the previous ones that were posted earlier, Just be sure to post it in the right Challenge. When you post it your post will show up on top line and we will know that there is a new painting just being submitted.
Hope to see more work from you soon.
Suzette- Can't wait to see your work posted.
Welcome, Jordan and Suzette! We're very happy to have you join us!
Jordan, nothing like taking the most difficult subject (candle in a jar) right out of the gate! It's beautifully done.
Sandi, thank you for your kind words. Just to let you know I'm not just goofing off here in the Shenandoah Valley, here is my Madonna and Child based on Marsha's nativity scene photo. It's at about 35 to 40% right now but it is showing promise, I think. Still needs more watercolor, pen-and-ink, and a touch of gouache. I'm making myself stop working on it each day when I start to get impatient and want to hurry—that always leads me into disaster! The drawing is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" on hot press watercolor paper.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Alex what a sweet little painting! It reminds me of an icon.
Alex- Wow!- I am falling in love with the softness of the Mother and Child. Take your time but when you finish I suggest you post it in the Christmas card contest in the Galleries. Just click on Galleries it will show the menu choices. The cutoff date is Dec. 17th.
ALEX: the Madonna and Child is soooo nice,. AND SMALL; wow. I personally like it like it is, it is dreamy.... love it
Alex, what a precious little gem your nativity painting is. I love the simple elegance of it. The beautiful background colors compliment the images beautifully. The faces are so sweet. It's is incredible that you achieved this lovely work on such a small format. Well done.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
This is my very first soft pastel. kinda messy to do. 9x6 Stonehenge
Marsha, you captured the wooden Santa's expression exactly. He certainly looks merry and jolly with a twinkle in his eyes. Ho! Ho! Ho! Well done!
I thought for a minute I had the first page and this was the actual picture! This is so good!
Marsha- Great job for the one who use OP for the first time. It's clean not messy at all plus you portray the shine and the likeness real well. Super!
Wow am I behind here , welcome Jordan and Suzette a very nice acrylic work Jordan it's my favorite medium
Catherine I like all of your work nice santa sketch
Alex both renderings of the nativity scene are well done
And Marsha I do not know what soft pastels are but I still appreciate the difficulty of working with a new medium great job

Although I don't idolize any singers, but I keep some great singers in my list. Apart of Michael Buble, Bruno Mars and some others, Jason Mraz is no doubt still in my list. I simply like his simple appearance and great music. I like the way he took the stage just like singing in his own bathroom, so fun! :)
Of course, those who know me, I'm Yours, Lucky and I won't give up these songs will not leave from my mouth :D
This was his concert in Chicago back in August 2009. Imagine he barefoot at the stage? Cool :)

Texas Bill Would Give Top Students Priority For Aid
By KRWG News
Texas – The Texas Senate has voted to give priority for Texas Grants financial aid to top-performing students.
The Texas Grants program was created to give financial aid to poor students. It is given on a first-come, first-serve basis, but trends show that about half don't graduate within six years.
Supporters say the bill won't take money away from poor students, but will put those who are most likely to graduate at the front of the line.
Critics say the change could limit financial aid to minority students from the state's poorest school districts.
The change would apply to grants awarded for the fall 2013 semester.
The bill now goes to the House, which is considering a similar measure.

I love nail polish and had never tried this brand before. I received the blue sample and had to use a few coats of polish. That is pretty much typical with nail polish you buy now. It is a very cute color and looks great on. A top coat helped it shine a bit more. Will definitely consider buying the 4-pack!4
Love the aquamarine azulino color on my tanned olive skin! Fun color for weekends or casual work situations. But my favorite qualities of this nail polish are that it dries really quickly and one coat does the job. Wish it wouldn't chip. I can usually make it last about 3 days.5

If you're a fan of the baked snack crackers called Cheez-It then you might like to try the four new cheese flavors that have just come out.
For this week's taste test Newswatch 16 went to Curious Kids Learning Center in Luzerne County to see what the kids thought of the snacks.
Many people are fans of the original Cheez-Its, the baked cheddar snack crackers, and now you can try them in many different cheese flavors: Mozzarella, Asiago, Baby Swiss and the newest on the shelf, Provolone.
We took the baked snack crackers to Curious Kids Learning Center in Wilkes Barre to see if the new cheese flavors made the cut.
First up was the Mozzarella.
"It's different," said Molly Simon. "Well it's kind of like white."
While the kids were iffy about the mozzarella flavor we asked the adults what their take was.
"I didn't really like it. I know the kids say they enjoyed it a lot but …it's a little salty and it has a little bit of a back taste that's a little bit strong, like a dry strong mozzarella," said Chastity King, Director of Curious Kids Learning Center.
Next up was the newest Cheez-It flavor out there, Provolone.
"I didn't like it," said day care student Jalen Strothers. "It tastes like kind of smoke or something."
"I don't like it," said day care student Britney Katchik. "It tastes like beef jerky and I don't like it."
Third on the list to try was the Baby Swiss Cheez-It.
"It tastes like pizza, with cheese on it," said day care student Abagayle Glaush.
"It tastes really good and it tastes salty," said day care student Michael Pringle.
The last flavor the kids and teachers tasted was Asiago.
"It tastes kind of like popcorn," said Dasani Yurgaitis.
"It's actually really good. It tastes a lot like popcorn. It had a cheesy flavor to it but it was also like smooth like butter. So it was really good. It didn't taste like asiago, but it was definitely my favorite out of the four we tried," said Ashley Thurston, a teachers aid for the day care.
After trying all four Cheez-It flavors, it didn't seem like there was one in particular that stood out. The group seemed split down the middle after each trial. Some liked the different cheese flavors and some didn't.
We bought the Cheez-Its at Walmart for $2.88 a box.

What we like best about our home is all the etxra space we have so all 5 kids have a place to go now for some privacy, along with us. This is the second home I bought from Bean's because my first experience with them was a good one so you always return to a place that satisfies you. Mark was who I worked with 17 years ago and not only did he remember me and my first home but also worked with me the second time.

Her appearance marks the 18th anniversary of the Cohen series
(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)- Moravian College will present a timely lecture featuring Andrea Mitchell, simply titled, "An Evening with Andrea Mitchell," on Wednesday, October 10th, at 8:00 p.m. Mitchell is the chief foreign affairs correspondent for NBC News, a position she's held since November 1994. She reports on evolving foreign policy issues in the United States and abroad for all NBC News broadcasts, including "Nightly News with Tom Brokaw," "Today" and for MSNBC. This Cohen Arts and Lecture Series program will be held in Johnston Hall at Moravian College, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Mitchell has been a lead correspondent covering the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Her observations of the recent tragic events, the media, politics, and life "inside the beltway" (Washington D.C.) will both inform and move the audience.
One of NBC News' top political correspondents, Andrea Mitchell is the host of MSNBC's The Mitchell Report (formally known as "Decision 2000"), NBC News' election year broadcast of record. The Mitchell Report presents a round up of the day's political events and news updates on the presidential and congressional races, including the debates, primaries and caucuses. Mitchell interviews newsmakers both in Washington D.C. and on the campaign trail, and the broadcast features NBC News correspondents and journalists from MSNBC'S alliances including: Newsweek, The Washington Post, The National Journal, Hotline, and MSNBC.com.
Prior to being named Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Mitchell had been NBC News' Chief White House Correspondent a post she assumed after covering Bill Clinton from the New Hampshire primary through the entire 1992 presidential campaign. During her time at the White House, she broke stories on cabinet changes, policy decisions on gays in the military and military interventions in Bosnia and Haiti.
Over the years, Mitchell has appeared on Meet the Press as a panelist and substitute host. An acclaimed political reporter, she has also covered every presidential election since 1976. In fact, during the 1988 Republican National Convention, she beat both the competition and presidential candidate George Bush with the announcement that Bush had chosen Dan Quayle to be his running mate. She was also a panelist in the final Bush-Dukakis presidential debate.
Mitchell is married to Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan and resides in Washington D.C.
Andrea Mitchell's appearance marks the 18th anniversary of the Cohen series at Moravian College. In past years, the series has brought to Bethlehem such notables as Joseph Kennedy II, Ambassador Andrew Young, James Carville and John Sununu, the New York Philomusica, former President Jimmy Carter, author Kurt Vonnegut, former governor Mario Cuomo, and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
The Cohen Arts and Lectures Series at Moravian College was established in 1984 by Bernard and Bertha Cohen, who were active in Bethlehem business and community affairs until their 1976 relocation to Boca Raton, Florida. Bertha Cohen is a 1937 Moravian graduate and a former member of the college's board of trustees. Bernard Cohen is a member of the Lehigh University class of 1936.
Tickets for the lecture are $10 and available at the HUB desk in the Haupert Union Building, located at the corner of Monocacy and West Locust streets. Tickets may be purchased by phone during normal business hours at (610) 861-1336.

Padre mall officials worry about losing anchors
One department store potentially could relocate
Anchor stores have significant leverage over the malls they inhabit and have been known to do what some City Council members fear Dillard's, Macy's and J.C. Penney might do to Padre Staples Mall -- move out and make sure their old space remains empty.
They can do this, says Harold Hunt, a research economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University in College Station, because they own their store buildings at the malls. Their motive, the he says, is to prevent a competitor from moving in.
The concern that anchors might leave Padre Staples Mall was a sticking point in the discussions that preceded the City Council's decision Tuesday to negotiate with the developers of a proposed Westside mall. The developers are seeking $40 million in tax incentives for 1.5 million square feet of retail space.
Attempts last week to reach Dillard's, Macy's and J.C. Penney officials regarding their relationship with Padre Staples Mall were unsuccessful. The Nueces County Appraisal District lists the companies as the owners of their buildings on the mall land, but not of the land.
The building owned by Dillard's at the mall address is appraised at $7.6 million, J.C. Penney's is $5.7 million and Macy's' is $3.1 million.
Padre Staples Mall officials said Friday that they have no contractual protection from the anchor stores purposely leaving their spaces vacant. In a letter Friday to the City Council, two mall owners said the council's decision "will, in fact, decimate" their mall.
Purposely leaving a mall anchor space unoccupied can cause a series of vacancies because often smaller, nearby tenants choose to be near anchor stores because the anchors and smaller, specialty stores complement each other.
At Tuesday's council meeting, at-large Councilman Mike Hummell asked John D. Bell, a local attorney representing the developers of Crosstown Commons, whether the developers could prevent anchor stores such as Dillard's from letting their stores remain vacant rather than leasing or selling to a new tenant.
Bell said the developers only could suggest what they thought would benefit the community, but ultimately it would be up to the stores to decide.
Hunt, the research economist, said because most anchor stores own their retail spaces, they have the power to leave their properties and put a hold on what goes into the property once they leave.
Stores that own the property usually invest in major renovations and upgrades to their stores. For that reason, landlords such as Padre Staples Mall benefit from having anchor stores because they increase traffic from their upgrades and usually give their landlords a percentage of gross or net revenue in addition to monthly fees.
"If they (anchor stores) do well in their mall, then they (landlords) want to participate in that," Hunt said, referring to renovations.
The added business from store upgrades or renovations attracts other smaller stores, such as Gap, Express and Abercrombie & Fitch.
If an anchor store is in a position to leave a store vacant and chooses to do so, Hunt said, it is not in the anchor store's best interest to reveal those plans, for the sake of their reputations as corporate citizens.
The city's general policy for granting incentives for retail development, approved Tuesday by the council, limits to 15 percent the amount of retail square footage that can be lured from another retail center. Because the policy and the incentive agreement for Crosstown Commons were negotiated separately, that provision only applies to Crosstown Commons if it exceeds 1.4 million square feet. Commons developers' plans call for 1.5 million square feet of retail space.
The policy also states that a relocated store must cooperate with the original landlord regarding the lease on the space the store is leaving. If a store's new space is larger than its previous space, the additional square footage generates tax incentives, but no credit is given for any relocations.
Dillard's, for example, is about 211,000 square feet. With the current policy, Crosstown developers could lure as much as 225,000 square feet of retail space -- 15 percent of Padre Staple Mall's retail space. So if an agreement were made, a store similar in size to Dillard's, could be relocated.

If you are a young person and you feel down or depressed, this booklet produced by Young Minds is for you. It talks about how normal it is for people to feel up or down at different times, but highlights the difference between these feelings and more serious longer-term depression which can make daily life difficult.
The 'In School Stay Cool' booklet is aimed particularly at those young people starting secondary school. This booklet highlights worries that young people can have, such as school work, exams, making friends, fitting in, feeling under pressure, being bullied, not wanting to go to school and not getting on with a teacher. It then suggests ways young people can cope and manage these difficulties.
Growing up and leaving childhood entering adulthood is both exciting but can be daunting. Aimed at 16-18 year-olds, the Entering Adulthood booklet examines the excitement, fears, uncertainty and difficulties associated with the transition from childhood to adulthood and suggests ways of coping.
Self-harm, or self-injury, describes a wide range of things people deliberately do to themselves that appear to be harmful but usually do not kill them. Cutting the arms or the back of the legs with a razor or knife is the most common form of self-harm, but self-harm can take many forms, including burning, biting, hitting or taking overdoses. A young person may self-harm to help them cope with negative feelings, to feel more in control or to punish themselves. It can be a way of relieving overwhelming feelings that build up inside, when they feel isolated, angry, guilty or desperate (text taken from young minds).
The Young Minds booklet 'Worried about Self Injury' is a really useful booklet to help young people understand more about what self-injury is and why people do it. It shows young people how to find support.
Self-esteem is how a person feels about themselves and what they do. Someone with positive self-esteem will generally approach things thinking they are a good person who deserves love and support and can succeed in life. Someone with low or negative self-esteem will generally think they are not good at things, don't deserve love or support and that situations will work out badly for them (text taken from young minds).
For further information about the signs and symptoms of low self esteem please visit the Young Minds website.
Anyone who has a family member suffering from mental illness will find this booklet helpful. It explains what mental illness is, the different kinds of mental illnesses and their symptoms. It also looks at the causes of mental illness and the impact that it has on other family members.
Young Minds have a leaflet for young people worried about eating problems and disorders.

Most young people have problems or worries. If this happens to you then you need to talk to someone. You will start to feel better once you have told somebody what's going on and taken the first step to finding help.
If you feel you cannot talk to your parents, carers of friends support can be found by asking a teacher, doctor, youth worker or school counsellor, have a look at the Childline website, where you can find out information, or contact an adviser to talk about what is on your mind or what you are worried about. The 'worried need to talk' booklet produced by the NSPCC also contains useful information if something is on your mind.
Your lifestyle has a big affect on how you feel and what you get out of life, now and in the future.

Peer pressure is feeling like you have to do something just because all your friends are doing it. It's OK to say no and make your own choices. Did you know many young people face the challenges of peer pressure. Examples of this can be feeling like you have to:
Just remember real friends will not try and change you, they will accept you for who you are, they will not ask you to do things you are not comfortable with. If you feel the pressure of your peers please tell someone. Talking can always help.
We all have many different types of relationships with people every day. All relationships can have their ups and downs.
It's important to know how to build appropriate relationships. The way you behave with your friends will be different to how you are with your family, teachers, work mates or strangers, for example. Try to treat people in the way that you would like to be treated by them.
Your social life may well resolve around your friends and what you do together. Some people find making friends a lot easier than others, and some prefer to have a couple of really good friends instead of loads of mates. Childline can help if you've got worries or need advice.
Having relationships with your family can provide you with support and guidance through out life.
However sometimes in life, relationships with your family members can get difficult. This can make it awkward to talk to them about things.
Remember, there are no 'perfect' families, but some seem to get along better and some experience constant conflict or stress. Here are some tips to help you get along better at home:
Sometimes it's best to speak to someone outside your family - a good friend, trusted teacher, youth worker or Personal Adviser. There's more information about family relationships on the Youth Information website.
If you are a young carer, sometimes you may need some extra support. Contact your local Young Carers Project for details on how they can make life easier for you or visit Young Carers.net to talk to other young carers.
Divorce is a difficult and emotional issue to deal with. Many young people have to deal with divorce.

People drink alcohol for all sorts of reasons. Many people enjoy alcohol and most of the time it is not a problem, but drinking heavily can damage your health, especially if you're a young person.
Besides damaging the liver, heart and brain, heavy drinking can lead to loss of appetite, vitamin deficiencies, stomach ailments, skin problems, sexual problems and memory loss. After drinking too much people are more likely to have an accident, become involved in a fight or have unsafe sex. These are all unnecessary risks.
The drinkaware website has a range of factsheets about drinking alcohol, and has a unit calculator to help you better understand how many alcohol units are in drinks.
The talk about alcohol website has a load of quizzes, challenges and facts about alcohol which is worth looking at

People take drugs for all sorts of reasons. Because they think drugs can make them forget their worries, because their friends do, or because they think it might be fun. The Talk to Frank website is a great website for young people who want to find out more about drugs and the side effects of taking drugs.
However, taking drugs can become a habit. Some people depend on them just to cope with normal life. Their drug use is likely to have a serious effect on their physical and mental health. This is a really good guide that explains all of the facts and dispels many of the myths about drugs - The truth about drugs: know the score.
You might be offered drugs by your friends, or by people you know. Often friends know less than you do about drugs, but they may want to look as if they know everything. Don't rely on what your friends say. If you are feeling pressured into taking drugs by your friends, here's some advice about how to deal with it.

It is estimated that each year in England and 340,000 young people under the age of 16 who have never smoked before try smoking cigarettes. Every year around 200,000 children and young people start smoking regularly of these 67% start before the age of 18 and 84% by age 19 (source)
With all the talk about the dangers of illegal drugs, it's easy to forget that you can buy one of the most widely used and highly addictive drugs at the corner shop.
Some people say smoking helps you cope with stress. Some say it's a social thing, a way of relaxing with friends. Some people smoke because they are unhappy. Many say they wish they had never started.

Seriously????.......THE best??????
I love John Carpenter, and Love Stephen King, but this film just didn't do it for me.
It's not even on my personal top 50 list.
oh BOY ! :wink2:
I believe that Christine was a good movie,though with todays advancements in film, it could be turned into a better movie. This is my opinion. My favourite scene, which if done today could really chill you, would be the scene where Christine on fire runs down the road and runs over Buddy Repperton. I had nightmares about a car on fire chasing me after I saw that scene. My daughter agrees that there should be a sequel because Christine was not done her business. Her fascination with Christine, both book and movie, has taken her to the task of beginning to write a sequel. If she finishes it I will let you know if it does justice.
To ME this IS the BEST movie. But that's the reason they make so many, not everyone likes the same thing. I'd LOVE to see a sequel, and from nearly everyone I've asked a LOT of people think so. I hope SOMEONE does it!
Just finished reading the book, so now feel I have the luxury of an opinion :smile2:
The film was good - enjoyed it very much. The book, of course, was better. Much.
The film diverged from the book in a very important way though. I'd welcome a film that followed the book more.
in the film it was all about the car whereas in the book it was about LeBay and the car
Contrary to some, I don't think CGI is that important. If the story is good then you don't need CGI - they are the icing on the cake, not the cake itself. Added to that, it's often what you DONT see that is more frightening than what you DO see. The film did more than good enough job with Christine's 'rebuild' capability, so a new movie just for CGI is likely to be like most remakes ..... kaka. poo poo. yuk.
So if a remake followed the book more, then I'd say there was something worthwhile in it.
As far as a sequel goes .... nope. There's a kind of fear in the book that it might 'live' on somehow but I think that's best left in our subconsious LOL.
But a PREQUEL - the story of LeBay, and whether the demonic-ness of the car found him or whether he created it (a la tulpa) - now that would be very interesting... very interesting indeed. Mr King?
if any film was begging to be made closer to the original novel,then christine is it.for me ,the film is so different that its only the basic plot that connects the film to the book.if it was remade properly,it would be a film that would scare the bejesus out of everyone that went to see it.
also,you can polish a turd.it takes a lot of time,patience and polish but all you will end up with is a polished turd!!
Hummmmmm, I haven't seen the movie yet I read the book...What can I say?????? It is great and kept me awake may nights just for not being able to stop turning the pages! LOL I love it.

First of all, I'll explain what I want to do. It's a zombie AI script for a puzzle game, I want that when the zombie collide with a specified (tagged) object, the direction witch he's walking be reversed, in other words, if he's walking to the left, when collide with an obstacle, will start to walk to the right until it reaches another obstacle, then will move to left again, it's like a infinite loop. Here's my script:
private var speed : float = 1; //Walk velocity private var moveLeft = true; //"The character is moving to left" private var moveRight = false; //"The character is moving to right" var toLeftSpeed : float = -1; //Walk velocity to left var toRightSpeed : float = 1; //Walk velocity to right
function OnCollisionEnter(Zombie : Collision) { if(Zombie.tag == "obst") { //If it collide with the obstacle if (moveLeft == true) { //If it's walking to left moveRight == true; //It will start to walk to right } if (moveRight == true) { //If it's walking to right moveLeft == true; //It will start to walk to left } } }
function Update() { transform.translate(speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0); if (moveLeft == true) { speed = toLeftSpeed; } if (moveRight == true) { speed = toRightSpeed; } }

Sorry. Is it more understandable now?
Sep 24, 2011 at 08:21 PM PauloPatez
Now I have other problem, both for positive and for negative values of var speed, the object moves to the same direction. Here's the modified script:
var speed = -1;
var toLeftSpeed = -1;
var toRightSpeed = 1;
function OnTriggerEnter(collision : Collider) {
function Update() {

I fixed it, the problem was in the moveDirection values, only "moveDirection = Vector3(speed, 0, 0);" is enough.

answered Sep 24, 2011 at 08:34 PM
I took the liberty to copy your code and format it a bit. It appears the problem is with your flow - in the OnCollisionEnter function you first check to see if moveLeft is true, and if so set moveRight to true. However, you then independently check right afterwards if moveRight is true, and it is! so you set it to false and negate the first if check. What you need to do is make it an else-if check instead. You may also want to move the Translate function to the end, until after you've determined the walk direction.
answered Sep 24, 2011 at 08:23 PM
Sorry, that was just a typo, I already edited it, but that is not the problem with the script, the problem is in the same lines, the log error says "Expressions in statements must only be executed for their side-effects".
Sep 24, 2011 at 08:34 PM PauloPatez
I missed that too. You have another typo: moveRight == false; after the if statement. That's the comparison operator, not the assignment one. Should be moveRight = false; instead. Edited the answer to reflect that.
Sep 24, 2011 at 08:37 PM asafsitner
Do not works yet. I did it with the leonardo's solution.
Sep 24, 2011 at 10:01 PM PauloPatez
I don't think you want to change the speed from the update function, it does not change every frame. Change the speed the same time you change the direction, just copy that code to change the speed to the end of the OnCollisionEnter function.

In terms of utter ridiculousness, no celebrity had a 2011 like Nicolas Cage. Sure, Charlie Sheen might've had his moments, as did the always-reliable Kardashians and Lindsay Lohan, but none of their selfconcious and quickly-tiresome antics held a candle to what Cage accomplished on the WTF front, as he seemed to be involved in new, uniquely-insane escapades both on and off the screen every single month of the year.
To salute Cage's singularly insane 2011, and to give him some more memories to store in his pyramid tomb, here's a list of the 8 Most Cage-tastic Nicolas Cage Moments Of 2011:
8. Cage Appears On Serbian Biology Textbook
In late November, the internet uncovered this Serbian Biology Textbook that featured on its cover a photo of Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter from the highly educational Coen Brothers film Raising Arizona:
This wasn't a random one-off book, either – it was a standard middle school biology textbook in Belgrade classrooms from 1993 to 2001. Random? Yes. But Nicolas Cagey? EXTREMELY.
As we said at the time, if we're surprised by anything here, it's that Nicolas Cage is standing in front of a rose garden and not somehow another picture of Nicolas Cage.
7. The Fudgsicle Story
Cage appeared at the Toronto Film Festival on September 14th for a Q&A about his film Trespass, and as you'd expect when a microphone is placed in front of Nicolas Cage, his answers were mostly just routine, mundane actor-responses, including this pretty standard story about the time a naked man eating a Fudgsicle broke into his home:
"It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife. My two-year old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed," he told reporters on Wednesday.
"I know it sounds funny … but it was horrifying."
Cage said the ordeal ended after he talked the man out of the house and police arrived. He did not press charges, as the man had mental problems, but Cage, who now lives in Nassau, Bahamas, said he could not stay in the house after that.
CLASSIC CAGETM. Of course all of that happened. Although, there was one more twist – that naked man with the Fudgesicle turned out to be……Also Nicolas Cage.
6. The Nicolas Cage Song
The internet has long been aware of Cage's unparalleled legacy of onscreen ridiculousness, and much in the same vein as the evergreen Wicker Man Highlight Reel came 2011's "Nicolas Cage Song Video", a comprehensive remix of Cage's most insane cinematic moments cut together into one Cagetastic jam:
That three-minute video would've grossed more at the box office than 9 out of Cage's last 10 actual projects.
5. Bailed Out By Dog The Bounty Hunter
In April, Cage was arrested in New Orleans on charges of public intoxication, disturbing the peace, and domestic battery (for allegedly grabbing his wife's upper-arm). None of this is amusing, obviously, and we don't wish to make light of a potentially serious situation, even if the charges were ultimately dropped. So why mention it in this list of Cage-iest Moments of 2011?
Because Nic Cage was bailed out of jail by none other than Duane Lee "Dog" Chapman, aka Dog The Bounty Hunter, who put up $11,000 for Cage's bail.
Why Dog The Bounty Hunter, who usually operates out of Hawaii? As with every other item on this list, the only proper sequence of responses goes something like "Huh? Why did…how…the…wha-" "It's NICOLAS CAGE. Just, accept it."
4. Season Of The Witch
Cage's film career has gone from appearing in alternatingly good-and-bad movies throughout the late 90s and mid-2000s to now more or less appearing in one decent movie for every ten "Why Does Nic Cage Need To Say Yes To This Project At This Point In His Career? His Notorious Debt Problems Must Be REALLY Bad…" movies. These films will henceforth be known as "Cageies".
Here's the first of several Cageies in 2011, January's Season Of The Witch, featuring Cage's finest wig performance to date:
More like, Season of The WIG-tch, amiright?? You cringe, but would it shock you if that was an actual line of dialogue in this film?
3. This Symbolic Photo
Splash News snapped this photo of Cage on August 10th:
What's significant about a random photo of Cage standing at an ATM? Just think of the symbolism: It's Nic Cage dressing 'cool' with two pairs of sunglasses but looking super obviously old while also in need of money.
If that isn't a microcosm of Cage's last decade on this earth, I don't know what is.
2. The Drive Angry Sex Scene
This entire list could've consisted of different scenes from the movie Drive Angry, but no single moment sums up both that film and Nic Cage's current onscreen existence better than this one, Cage's combination sex scene / violent gunfight.
In the scene, a completely naked Charlotte Ross and a completely clothed Cage are in mid-coitus when a half dozen armed goons burst in after Cage, and he proceeds to kill them all while managing to still have sex with Ross, drink from a whiskey bottle, smoke a cigar, dodge a flying hatchet, and shrug off a taser to the head. Expect to see these clips again during Oscar's "Tribute To Realism" montage next year.
You can click the pic below to watch the scene. It is very, very NSFW:
1. The 1870s Vampire Photo
In September, an eBay seller in Seattle uncovered this photo from the 1870s depicting a mustachioed Tennessee man bearing an uncanny resemblance to Nicolas Cage:
The seller speculated, logically, that Nic Cage is most likely an immortal vampire who's been around for centuries, a claim which we quickly and incontrovertibly proved with 20 More Photos Proving Nic Cage Is A Vampire.
Just weeks later, someone else uncovered a photo allegedly depicting John Travolta in the 1860s:
Could this have been another hoax, capitalizing off the internet-attention given to the also-coincidental Cage photo? We say it's much more likely that these photos prove, definitively, that THE MOVIE FACE/OFF EXISTED IN THE 1870S:
On behalf of The Internet, congratulations on a Cage-tastic 2011, Nic Cage! Good luck topping it in 2012. Some quick advice: Less assault allegations, more gunfight sex with vampire photos. Although, really, that's just good sound advice for everyone.

Many customers and vendors alike enjoyed our first local chef demo at Saturday's Market! Judge Debbie Mitchell demonstrated some fine chopping skills as she prepared a wonderfully light, refreshing summer soup (great as an appetizer, lunch accompaniment, or between-course palate cleanser). She shares her recipe with us (see photo below the recipe). . . (thanks, Debbie!).
4 hothouse cucumbers, peeled and cut in medium dice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2/ honeydew melon, peeled and cut into medium dice
1 serrano chile, chopped fine
1 rib celery
½ C rice wine vinegar
Leaves from 2 sprigs fresh mint sprigs, chopped
Leaves from ½ bunch fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 T low-fat yogurt
1 lemon
1 T chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Combine the cukes, green onions, melon, chile, celery, vinegar, herbs, salt, and drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl (I did not add the oil). Put the bowl in a large pot of ice water to chill (you won?t need to do this if you are serving the soup the next day). Garnish with a mix of yogurt, juice from the lemon, and parsley (I always forget to do this step).

So the team may go .500 or less the first perhaps second year. What a rationale for bailing out! If you are a true Michigan Man you suck it up, do what is best for the team and get on with it. It's far easier to quit than fight back and succeed.
Michigan has never stolen players, rather they have rightly convinced them that aside from the possibility of perhaps playing in the NFL for a few years, they can obtain a world class education at UM which will last them a life time. I suspect TP is more interested in getting himself set for the NFL than in obtaining the best education possible. I wish no ill will on TP but it only takesone hit and it's all over but the dreams.
I lived in Ohio for five years and my daughter is a MU grad (the best school in the state)so don't start the bashing! I can recall a "star" running back for the Bengals who was great for a few years and then he was down to selling frozen foods door to door! Education is everything.
Nice comeback from the edge UM! I think we should have been ahead of Illinois though as far as the Big Ten is concerned.
While winning at athletics is certainly a goal of the major colleges and universities of this country let's not loose sight of the fact that they are ancillary to what the goal of an institution of higher learning is all about, namely graduating educated young adults to lead and develop our country and the world for that matter. Yes college sports (football/basketball) put a lot of money into the college coffers but they are not the reason that institutions of higher learning exists. I will take a clean education oriented program such as exists at UM over any National Championship any year. I certainly hope that UM prospers under RR, wins against OSU and maybe attains a few National Championships but bottom line it really isn't what it is all about.
