Endorsements Pile Up for WA State Voting Rights Act
Two candidates for statewide office in Washington endorsed the Washington State Voting Rights Act this week, adding further momentum to a bill that seeks to bring fairness and equal opportunity to our electoral process. Gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee and Bob Ferguson, who is running for state Attorney General, announced their strong support for the Voting Rights Act. Rep. Adam Smith was the first elected official out of the gate to endorse the Voting Rights Act when it was introduced in January and to actively reach out to legislators in support of the Act.
The Voting Rights Act aims to deal with the staggering lack of representation for racial and ethnic minority voters in some areas of the state. The bill would provide voters the ability to challenge at-large voting systems when they can prove "racially-polarized voting" exists. In its endorsement of the Voting Rights Act this week, The Seattle Times Editorial Board called the remedy of providing for district-based elections "a solid avenue for voter redress."
"I applaud the efforts of the broad coalition supporting the Washington Voting Rights Act and am proud to support this important legislation," said Inslee in a statement. "Our democracy is dependent on robust participation of both the electorate and those willing to serve. Any healthy democracy must seek diversity and equitable representation for all. In instances where it is clear that opportunity is being repressed, there must be a process for righting that wrong. That's why, in 2006, I voted for a 25 year extension of expiring portions of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act and why I support efforts to promote equality and democracy at the local and state level as well - including the Washington Voting Rights Act."
"I am pleased to support the Washington Voting Rights Act," said Bob Ferguson. "This legislation will affirm Washington State's commitment to the principles of democracy, fairness, and equal representation. It will provide a set of tools to help us build an even stronger democracy in Washington State."
"I am proud to support the Washington State Voting Rights Act of 2012," said Rep. Smith in a statement. "'One Person, One Vote' is at the heart of our democracy. This meaningful legislation would insure that racial minorities have the best possible opportunity to be heard and be well represented by their elected officials, just like all other Washingtonians. This is a simple matter of equality that ensures that everyone has the same opportunities guaranteed in the Federal Voting Rights Act. This piece of legislation will help ensure this happens here in Washington State."
"Advocates for the Voting Rights Act welcome the growing support from elected officials and candidates for office not only because it will increase representation of minorities in local elected office, but also because it will help increase voter registration and turnout in minority communities, as happened after the passage of California's Voting Rights Act," said OneAmerica Votes Executive Director Pramila Jayapal.
"The essential promise of democracy is a government by consent of the governed.," added David A. Perez, Assistant Director of the Korematsu Center at Seattle University's School of Law and author of the Act. "The Washington Voting Rights Act guarantees that promise."
The Act has already passed through committees in both the House and Senate and is currently in the each house's Rules Committee. The prime sponsor of HB2612 is Representative Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney (D-46), while Senator Margarita Prentice (D-11) is the prime sponsor of SB6381.

It's a bad sign when Jimmy Carter's poll numbers actually start to look respectable. From AEI's public opinion expert Karlyn Browman and researcher Andrew Rugg:
President Obama looks worse than any recent incumbent president when the public assesses the country's direction, consumer confidence, personal financial appraisals, and job approval at this point in time.
- Obama 11% satisfied with the way things are going; 20% country heading in the right direction
- Bush 43 44% satisfied; 52% right direction
- Clinton 33% satisfied; 21% right direction
- Bush 41 35% satisfied; 24% right direction
- Reagan 35% satisfied; 51% right direction
- Carter 19% satisfied; 16% right direction
- Nixon N/A satisfied; 26% right direction
Amazingly, nearly twice as many Americans were satisfied with the way things were going at this point in the Carter presidency than they currently are under Obama. Consumer confidence was also eight percent higher. And that was after Carter's malaise speech, after he fired his cabinet, with stagflation and an oil crisis hitting the country.
Obama's job approval isn't at the Carter-level yet, but it's lower than all of his other recent predecessors at this point in their presidencies. In August, I compared Obama's approval rating to the previous five presidents. Those who won a second term all had approval ratings above 50 percent a year before their reelection. It looks increasingly unlikely Obama will improve his ratings to that point by November, since his numbers have stagnated in the low-40s since the beginning of August.

Complete Media Book, TCU 61, New Mexico 40
Lobo Women's Basketball - Mountain West Tournament
Friday's Semifinal: TCU 61, Lobos 40; Utah 50, BYU 49
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer / GoLobos.com
LAS VEGAS -- The Lobos' only door to the NCAA Tournament was slammed shut in a big way Friday as the TCU Horned Frogs, probably the most talented team in the Mountain West Conference, rolled the Lobos 61-40.
The Frogs got 25 points from Helen Sverrisdottir and used a variety of zone and man defenses to frustrate the Lobos on the offensive end.
"She's tremendous," said Yvonne Sanchez, UNM's associate head coach, of the Frogs' star player. "She did it from the inside. She did it from the outside."
The Lobos didn't do it from either area. New Mexico shot a chilly 23.7 percent from the floor and 20.8 percent from behind the line. Sverrisdottir went 8-of-13 for the Frogs who shot 40.4 percent.
"Everything that we did they countered," said Sanchez. "They were big inside and they got rebounds and they cut down our driving lanes. We settled too much for the threes."
The Lobos launched 24 times from long range and knocked down five: two from Jasmine Patterson, two from Tina Doughty and one from Jessica Kielpinski. UNM actually was 100 percent from the line early as Patterson gave UNM a quick 3-0 lead.
The rest of the game went the Frog's way. The taller Frogs also dominated the boards 46-33 as they advance to play Utah for the 2011 MWC tourney title. The Utes used a buzzer-beater from 16 feet out to upset No. 1 seed Brigham Young, 50-49.
The Lobos had no players in double figures with Patterson coming the closest with nine points. The shooting stats from several of UNM's key players told part of the tale of this Lobo loss. Amanda Best went 2-of-13, Caroline Durbin went 0-of-6, Patterson went 3-10 and Lauren Taylor went 2-10. Taylor was UNM's leading rebounder with six boards.
TCU got 10 boards from Rachel Rentschler and seven from Sverrisdottir, who also had a game-high five assists.
The Lobos fell behind in this MWC semifinal game 17-5, cut TCU's lead to 24-19 in the first half, but simply couldn't handle Sverrisdottir or TCU's pressure defense. The Lobos end the season 13-18 while TCU raised its record to 22-9. The winner of the MWC tourney gets an automatic NCAA bid. BYU, the regular-season champion, looks like a good bet for an at-large bid.
"It was a good run," said Sanchez of the Lobos, who opened the tourney with wins over San Diego State and No. 3 seed Wyoming. "We didn't want it to end, but we're very proud of the girls. TCU is a very good team."
Second Half: TCU 28, Lobos 19
UNM came out of the halftime break down by 12 and had better movement on offense early. But UNM had no answer at the defensive end, especially for Sverrisdottir. At the 15:52 break, TCU was up 21-16 - 15 points. The Lobos had five points from Kielpinski, who had gone scoreless in the first half.
Both teams hit a stretch where the missed too many shots, but the Frogs did enough work inside to take a 45-28 lead at the 11:27 media break. The Frogs, and Sverrisdottir, continued to pull away, and TCU was up 50-32 with 7:47 to play. A Best jumper had UNM at 51-34 with 6:56 to play and TCU burning a timeout.
The Frogs had been doing a lot of damage inside but used back-to-back 3-pointers to go up 57-36 with 4:07 to play. TCU rolled in for the 61-40 win.
First Half - TCU 33, Lobos 21
Lobo Stat Leaders: Patterson 7 pts., Doughty 6 pts.
The Lobos had trouble with an extended and tall TCU defense that did a lot of switching from zone to man. UNM made their first shot of the half, a Patterson trey, but ended up shooting 21.2 percent. TCU shot 48 percent with Sverrisdottir hitting 12 points. TCU won the board battle 24-17, but a lot of that edge came from so many poor UNM shots.
UNM's Best, Kielpinski, Durbin and Taylor combined to go 1-of-20 from the field. The Lobos got 11 first-half points from their bench and 10 from their starters. The Lobos had a great start with a 3-0 lead coming off a Patterson bomb. At the midway point, UNM was down 17-7 and that was after a drive by best cut into TCU's 17-5 lead.
The UNM bench that wasn't used much in the first two UNM wins in Vegas came in handy as Flanagan decided to rest his starters. An inside bucket by Erskine and a long trey on top of the key by Doughty pulled UNM to 20-12.
Another Doughty trey cut TCU's lead to 24-19, but TCU went up 29-19 on a steal, layup and free throw by Breisha Wynn. The Horned Frogs finished the half strong to take a 12-point lead into the break.

Can we get a photo or at least a description of the tattoos? Seeing the guy's face is great, but any extra detail could help.
not true, otherwise police could just ask civilians to do their searches for them without warrants. What makes this admissible is that it was discovered in good faith. The neighbor stumbled across it accidentally and was not purposefully invading his home (electronically) looking for the evidence.
and yes, leaving an open wi-fi connection is pretty much asking to get busted for whatever you are doing.
so..... where was the new student whose desk he was sitting in?
any leads on parks she might have taken that camping gear to? Hikers should be on lookout
um, the story doesn't say that crime fell in Salem, only that it fell in that particular spot. It went up everywhere else.... so getting rid of the mall didn't really solve the problem, just moved it and spread it around....
and yes, I use public tansit & I have never committed a crime in my life.. thanks for the unfair stereotype!
Think about this next time you steal music.... fewer and fewer bands are able to make a livable income (I'm not even talking about getting rich, just livable) off their music, often forcing them to more and more grueling tour schedules with no budget to hire a driver. For every Lady GaGa singing to a sold out stadium there are thousands of bands and musicians who are just trying to pay rent.
please correct Mail to Male in headline before this goes to print
It bites if small farms can't afford to meet the requirements & I hope they find a way to make it work for everyone, but in the end my salmonella poisoning isn't any less miserable because the farm that sold the carrot fell under the threshold for keeping the records that would have gotten the carrot recalled before it reached my table. There are some benefits to small organic farms, but there are also a lot of drawbacks that people either aren't aware of or ignore, this sounds like one more.
no true... all the crumpling in the smaller car is energy being absorbed by the car instead of the driver. Larger cars carry more weight into a crash and if the larger vehicle is not designed to attenuate that energy it goes straight into the driver. This is a Very common misconception about vehicle safety. Contrary to popular belief, being surrounded by a big steel cage doesn't do you any good of the big steel cage isn't engineered right. (plus trucks have never had to pass the same safety crash and roll-over tests that other cars do)
Safety devices and warning signals are great until they become so common place that people ignore them or tune them out. Constant alertness is ideal, but realistically it is going to slip. When it comes to traffic accidents, there is usually plenty of blame to go around. As a pedestrian I see carelessness on the part of drivers, bicyclists & my fellow pedestrians. My mom taught me to always check both ways and make sure the driver sees me and has stopped before I cross even when I have the light. "Dead don't care who had the rightofway".
paging Dr Drew.....
I think this story was posted about an hour and 5 min too early!
Dec 22, 2010????? are we predicting?
have to agree about the poorly written, "ruthlessly shot down" is the kind of inflametory statement that should only be in this piece if it is a quote from a witness. Words from the reporter should be neutral. I agree the shooting sounds pretty excessive, but there are 2 sides to every story & I would like to form my opinion from facts rather than colorful wording.
Last year when there was a recall on a product I got a warning the next time I went Shopping. Because I used my Fred Meyer reward card (I don't mean to give a commercial endorsement here but this was kind of cool) Freddy's knew that I had bought an similar item from the same maker & the next time I checked out my receipt had a large bold print warning about the product that was recalled and the product I bought that triggered the warning. I know the "Big Brother" phenomenon is scary, but it isn't without it's benefits. Plus I don't get junk mail from Freddy's that isn't something I would actually be interested in!
I want to be positive here because I think this is kind of a cool idea but I have to throw one negative comment in here.... Only people with iPhones get to do this?? What about those of us who have Droids or other phones? Is the city getting some kind of kickback from Mac or does Sammy just assume that we are all zombies to the Iphone commercials?
I just moved here 2 years ago & have no experience with Oregon's school system, so I did not know we had a ban on religious dress for teachers.... wait a minute WE HAD A BAN ON RELIGIOUS DRESS FOR TEACHERS?!?!?!?!? Way to teach kids about freedom of religion! White Christian suburban parents don't do their kids any favors when they try to pretend the rest of the world is White Christian suburban.
besides, how do you enforce that? did the law spell out how to distinguish between a religious scarf and a bad hair day scarf? what about all the Christians & Jews that wear crosses and stars of David around their necks... were those banned too?
As far as any parents who are worried about religious coercion of their children, I would agree if the teacher was giving a lecture in class about why his or her beliefs were better than yours I would agree, but... if you aren't doing a good enough job of instilling your beliefs in your kids at home that the simple wearing of a scarf is going to sway your kid.... sit down and shut up!
I don't understand how public transit systems are rated. Where I came from in Phoenix, AZ, riding the bus cost me about half as much, I didn't have to mess with this zone nonsense - a 2 hour bus ticket was a 2 hour bus ticket no matter where you were going, and it was at least as easy, if not easier to get where I needed to go. And yet Phoenix is rated one of the worst public transit systems in the country and Portland the best. The math doesn't add up.
Actually, according to the page their website announcing this trip, before it got taken down (as per an earlier article here), conversion was a primary motive. The number of referances to saving souls and putting children into "good Christian" homes outnumbered any referances to feeding the hunger or alieviating suffering many times over.
As far as "ignorance of the law" ... if you have a passport and are smart enough to book a plane ticket, you should be smart enough to know that you are traveling to a foreign country that might have laws that you need to look into before you take action. The plan laid out on the website said nothing about asking the authorities "how can we help?" or "who can we take?". It actually referred to "rounding up" kids off the street and putting them on a bus. If a Christian missionary group can do that, what's to stop a wealthy pedophile from striking the motherload and doing the same. OF COURSE THERE ARE LAWS ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING!! If there weren't, why would so many adoptive parents have to wait so long for kids? They can't just go grab a starving child from the street because the government needs to screen and make sure that the kid is actually an orphan first, and then make sure that you aren't rescuing the kid from a terrible situation only to put them back into another terrible situation.
If nothing else, the lack of respect for the sovereignty of a foreign nation and failure to research local laws should be counted as Criminally Negligent!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by mrjones individual Purchased the charcoal coloured one which is just that, wore it tonight with a long sleeve, long length, wool top, leggings and boots, got lots of compliments. A bit funny looking from the back but I can cope with that cause the front view looks good!! 6.14.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by so cal quality this is a beautiful piece of art work and the quality is superb however, not for me. I tried it on upon receiving it and it appeared as though I had on a poncho which was not the look I was going for. I returned it to the store 9.24.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cowgirl_Moody Wild and Lovely Swing Top I've had my eye on this piece for quite a while, waiting for it to go on sale. I purchased it in the kaki and couldn't be more pleased. It has a very full swing shape and the rise on the sides shows just the tiniest bit of skinâenough to be flirty but not flashy. I went with the small for the added length. The xsmall was great in the width as this top is very flowy, but just too short. The quality and style are superb. It's a great addition to my clothing collection. 6.1.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MoMia Happy, happy, Joy, joy:)) I've been drooling over this top since it first came out in January, but never bought it because of price! So I waited and drooled and waited and drooled some more, then it finally went on sale:))! I bought the khaki in a medium; its TTS (my measurements: 37", 28", 38" and 5'7" tall) and true to the pictures on line. This top is sumptuous and every detail down to the intricate and eye-catching embroidery is delicious! The fabric is substantial which allows the peplum/flounce to drape and swing beautifully - but it's not heavy! It is semi sheer and if a flesh tone bra was worn underneath it would be ok. This is another great treasure from FP that I'll wear for a long time to come! A+++ 5.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Scaper AWESOME! When I saw the price of the top, I was a bit shocked, but I am glad I bit the bullet and purchased it. It is absolutely stunning! Fits like I dream, too (I ordered medium). True to size. This is a KEEPER. I will wear a long sleeved red leotard underneath. 1.27.2014

Exhale's signature Core Fusion classes incorporate dance-inspired stretches, yoga poses, and Pilates exercises into total-body workouts that build long, lean limbs and sturdy abdominal muscles over time. For an even more varied workout, the instructors introduce boot-camp techniques, cardio exercises, or multiplication tables to select sessions. Yoga classes present a similar amount of breadth and variety, drawing inspiration from a number of introspective and physically oriented styles. To help hasten physical transformations, nutrition and wellness coaches teach attendees about the impacts of diet. These sessions build an awareness of healthy eating habits through custom meal plans and by teaching clients how to identify the edible parts of a fruit basket. Many of the center's traditional spa services seek to inspire confidence. Facials pamper and refine skin using everything from green tea and fruit extracts to microcurrent technology, and mani-pedis revitalize digits before glazing nails with a vibrant new coat of color. Bodywork treatments look beyond physical relaxation and focus on holistic concerns. Massage therapists can use Eastern or Western modalities to soothe overstressed musculature, and acupuncture treatments and reiki sessions jump-start natural healing processes by encouraging the free flow of inner energies.28 Arlington StBoston, MA US
Crazy DoughRead MoreNo, he wasn't born in Sicily. In fact—according to a 2011 article in the Boston Globe—Doug Ferriman started out in the pizza business without even knowing how to make dough. But he learned fast, besting 120 competitors and two Italian chefs to take second place at the International Pizza Challenge later that year. Ferriman is also one of only two people to have won the International Pizza Expo's Pizza of the Year honor more than once, in 2004 and 2007, according to trade magazine Pizza Today. Finally, in the 2013 competition, Ferriman won first in the non-traditional category in the northeast region. Today, Ferriman brings his dough tossing know-how to Crazy Dough's Pizza, which he co-owns with his wife, Melissa. Their labor-of-love-turned-small-business-success-story, which has been documented in media outlets such as the Boston Business Journal, can be explained by their commitment to quality ingredients and diverse recipes. Their chefs start with a solid pizza foundation of North Dakota flour, vine-ripened California plum tomatoes, and Wisconsin cheese. Next, they transform raw dough into three pizza types: pan-baked, rectangular sicilian pies; hearty brick-oven rounds; or their specialty fire-grilled pizzas, cooked to a crispy, smoky finish on an open-flame hickory grill. Finally, guests can choose from a huge selection of off-the-wall toppings and signature combinations, such as cheeseburger bacon or potato bacon cheddar. The shops also attract guests with $5 Pabst Blue Ribbon pitchers, calzones, and Crazy Dough Bowls—salads whose bread-bowl exterior can be eaten or worn as a savory hat.1124 Boylston St.Boston, MA US
Yale Appliance and LightingRead MoreOne might not expect an immigrant with no formal education to name his family business after Yale University. But that's just what Steve Sheinkopf's grandfather did in 1923, and the pluckiness of the name was a harbinger of the company's ability to thrive against all odds. Over the course of almost 90 years, Yale Appliance & Lighting weathered the Great Depression and other economic crises, yet Sheinkopf's grandfather kept the business going and even made enough to help his four brothers emigrate to America. In 1984, when the landlord sold the Portland Street building that had housed Yale for 30 years, Sheinkopf helped his father measure a space on Freeport Street on the coldest day of that year. They've been there ever since. What keeps the company going is a refusal to rest on its laurels and an almost obsessive commitment to customer satisfaction. On any given weekday, you'll find Sheinkopf blogging exhaustive side-by-side comparisons of a variety of his merchandise. The now 25,000-square-foot store houses more than 3,500 lights and thousands of appliances and plumbing products, and its delivery and service departments have grown to include 112 experienced employees and a fleet of 25 heavy-duty vehicles and industrial-size Tonka trucks. The family legacy continues to flourish. Yale Appliance & Lighting's kitchen appliances have made the megastore a multiyear winner of Boston magazine's Best of Boston awards. As reported in the Boston Business Journal, Yale earned a Green Award from Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the city of Boston in 2007 for promoting energy-efficient appliances with education and in-store rebates. That same year, the Journal named Yale Appliance & Lighting one of the best places to work in Boston, which may be partly due to the frequent in-store cooking demos performed by regional chefs.296 Freeport St.Dorchester, MA US

Warhammer Online Review
Played on:
1.66Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU
nVidia 8800M GTS Video
As a veteran of games like Everquest and World of Warcraft with many thousands of hours poured into those games, jumping into yet another MMORPG that looks just as addictive can feel a little dangerous sometimes. Am I going to get lost in this game like I did those others? Am I going to lazily forget to clean up around the house or skip social events just to keep playing? For those of us who have been addicted in the past, being asked by Mythic Entertainment and EA to review their newest title, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, is something I had to take on cautiously.
But I'm glad I did. This game is just as accessible as WoW - if not more, now that millions of players know how to play a game like this - and really runs off in its own direction. At first, with its dwarves, orcs, elves, and good-guy-or-bad-guy setup, it sure looks like it's ripping off Blizzard's monstrous MMO. But quickly you start to realize - somewhere around the time you realize there's a repeatable quest to do PvP scenarios (just like WoW's battlegrounds) shortly after you create your character - that this is just a different game.
Here, you will have a very tough time avoiding PvP on the way to level 40. Sure, there are open RvR servers where the playerbases mix and people get tangled up in fights anywhere in the world, but even in the regular servers there are plenty of quests, even PvE ones, that send you right into the PvP areas of the world. And fighting in there is actually fun, as there are little objectives that are at work inside there and spoils to be had. It helps to give people experience points and money for PvPing, too, as people seem to be more motivated to play it right rather than just sit around waiting for their enemy to win (I'm looking at you, Ruin battlegroup on the Alliance side).
Where this game really starts to get interesting is when you realize that doing PvP scenarios actually helps your XP gain when you're also doing the quests and fighting monsters out in the world. You'll pop to town, pick up one or two PvP quests, hit up the scenario queue, and do some nearby monster-killing for the other quests out in the world. When the scenario starts, you hit the button, and you will finish your PvP quests (win or lose) and gain a good chunk of XP in the process. Then turn in the PvP quest(s) after joining the queue again for another chunk of XP. It's a nice, easy habit to get into, and it helps mix up the monotony of running around and killing monsters for hours.
It helps that this game makes PvP consensual as well as very easily accessible. You can join a scenario queue from almost anywhere in the world, and the open PvP areas are easy to jump into and group up in. But that convenience does stretch to other areas of the game, too, like tinting both your minimap and your world map to show you where the objective of your quests are. That way, you're not constantly looking up coordinates on Thottbot or something like with WoW. Death also has a pretty small effect overall, simply reducing your maximum health with a stacking debuff that doesn't usually get too bad and can always be removed at a small price instantly if you want. Gear doesn't break and you don't have to go corpse hunting - and in PvP, that's essential.
The war part of Warhammer has the forces of Order and their elves, dwarves, and humans against Destruction and their greenskins (orcs and goblins), evil humans, and dark elves. Each side has a completely unique set of character classes, although you'll find that each side has an analogous class to the other. From spell-slinging Bright Wizards and Sorceresses to meaty Black Orcs to a range of healing classes that matches your healing style well, this game aims to make each side very different from the other.
The issue with that is one of balance: when each of the two sides has almost no overlap in abilities, spells, or masteries, it's hard to make sure that fights are even. So far it seems that the developers at Mythic have done a pretty good job, and while I've heard from players on both sides that the other side is clearly too powerful, it does seem overall that Order has a smoother curve (most of their classes stay pretty good from levels one through 40, the cap) while some Destruction classes can be more powerful here and there depending on their level but that you too often have to wade through a dozen levels of mediocrity to get to the good stuff. The one thing I want to mention, though, is that this game is not prone to the same conventions of WoW - the good PvPers didn't all go Destruction, and the carebears aren't all on Order. This is not often a concern for someone who just wanted to kill monsters and do raids in WoW, but it matters here in Warhammer where just about everyone'll have to dip their feet in the PvP at some point or another.
The game's got a couple of serious weak points, though. Playing this alone as a plain old kill-the-monsters MMO is not nearly as rewarding as others out there, so make plans to make friends as soon as you get in, or bring friends with you to all play together. The other issue is that the game's crafting system is boring and tedious, requiring you to often buy stuff from other players through the Auction House or in direct trades to make new stuff. You don't make your own weapons and armor, either - as Mythic's Paul Barnett put it in a video Q&A he did for AtomicGamer, "It's not Dancehammer, it's not Make Your Own Pantshammer". Well, that's true, but you are still double-looting bodies as a Scavenger and brewing a massive range of wacky potions as an Apothecary. So, it is Loot Bodies Again-hammer and Plant A Seed-hammer. Crafting in this game is nice in that the gathering skills don't require you to have to chop down trees or pick weeds for the stuff you need for the crafting skills, but you will need either multiple characters with a full range of gathering skills (or friends sending you stuff) if you don't want to hit the Auction House to further your trade.
What I do really enjoy are the game's Public Quests, which go on in a particular area of the world and reset themselves after completion. Here, you don't need to group with players to contribute to the quest, but will often have to work together in the later phases of the PQs to win. Killing PQ monsters and completing objectives gives you influence in that area, which can be used like currency to buy new gear. There's also a roll at the end of every PQ that doles out loot - those who contributed the most gain a bigger bonus to their dice roll, and the top 3 people after the roll will get a choice of a few pieces of loot. It's a great system that lets loners do something a bit more substantial than just fighting single monsters over and over, but unfortunately that alone is not enough to make this game a great solo experience.
At some point, the question has to come up: I played World of Warcraft (or I am thinking about quitting) and I'm wondering if Warhammer Online is more fun. I'll say this: if you're sick of the gear treadmill that PvP has become in that game, the dwindling number of players in instanced PvP areas (40v40 in Alterac Valley was fun, but now we're down to 15v15 for the most part and the arenas are much smaller than that!) and the massive built-up advantage that the Horde has in most PvP, then this is definitely your kind of game. But if you're mostly doing raiding or casual PvE gaming and don't really care to kill other players, it's worth keeping your friends together in WoW to play its new expansion.
Of course, there is the issue that many WoW players simply have no guild or have joined a new guild, repeatedly, only to see it collapse within two weeks of chartering. There is the issue of servers being filled with immature kids and the public channels and forums degrading to Chuck Norris spam and idiocy almost hourly. These are problems that have plagued Blizzard's game communities for years now, and while there's no guarantee that Warhammer Online's community will be any better, but on the servers I've played on it's been much better so far. Players are getting along, fighting well in the scenarios, working together in the RvR areas, and generally doing much less useless bickering and more fighting and winning their fair share of times - on both sides. It's a good sign, but the community must police itself (at least until the developers start suspending immature players, which could set a rather dangerous precedent), which is something I'm not terribly hopeful for.
While I really enjoyed Age of Conan in its first few weeks, the game fell flat almost immediately as the players proved that the game couldn't handle much more than small-group PvP in a few zones (plus, the siege system was almost completely broken). In Warhammer, that initial charm is there, but you quickly realize that the PvE content won't hold your attention for the full 40 levels, but then the potential for excellent PvP becomes more and more apparent. The first impression isn't as great, but as long as Mythic can keep up what they've been doing, we should see a much more solid PvP-oriented endgame here than we did in Conan.
As far as the rest of the endgame goes, there's not nearly the PvE focus in Warhammer Online as in Blizzard's top game, but to hear many WoW players talk, they're quite happy to sit in arenas and call that their endgame - for those players, this could be what pulls them away from Azeroth and Outland. For the raiding players, Warhammer could turn out to be no more than a distraction for a few months, but for those who want to see PvP be an integral part of their MMO experience, then this is their next big game. The end result is simply that Warhammer Online is a big deal for those who want to kill other players, but may be ho-hum for those who want the most compelling, charming, content-filled fantasy world out there.

Egypt Bans Muslim Brotherhood Activity, Freezes Funds
Follow @sarah_childressSeptember 23, 2013, 11:52 am ET
In Egypt in Crisis, FRONTLINE goes inside the Egyptian revolution, tracing how what began as a youth movement to topple a dictator evolved into an opportunity for the Muslim Brotherhood to seemingly find the political foothold it had sought for decades — and then why it all fell apart. Watch it online here.
The military-backed Egyptian government took another step in its aggressive crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Monday, banning the group from carrying out activities and ordering that its funds be seized.
As we reported in Egypt in Crisis, the military has been waging war against the Muslim Brotherhood since it overthrew President Mohammed Morsi, a member of the group and Egypt's first democratically elected president, on July 3.
Protests against the new regime were brutally crushed, most notably on Aug. 14, when security forces killed at least 600 people and wounded thousands more in an attack that lasted for more than 12 hours.
The new regime has arrested hundreds and is holding an estimated 2,000 Brotherhood members, according to security forces. Morsi himself has been charged with "inciting killing." On Sept. 17, a young, new Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, Gehad el-Haddad, was arrested and charged with similar crimes, just a few months after he was interviewed by FRONTLINE. He's been taken to Tora prison outside Cairo, which is run by the Ministry of Interior and used for torture.
Back in July, El-Haddad suggested he hoped that Egyptians would rally against the military takeover.
"At some point in time the Egyptian people, we think, will say: 'That's enough. The military has to go out.' If they do, they will flock to the streets. They will bring the country to a halt," he said.
He added: "If they don't, well, we have died silently, but we died on principle."
There has been little sympathy for the Brotherhood among the revolutionaries and secular Egyptians who backed both military takeovers.
The Muslim Brotherhood was reluctant to protest the military's initial crackdown on protesters in 2011, when revolutionaries were taken to the Egyptian museum and tortured. The Brothers also were slow to object when Coptic Christians were murdered during a peaceful protest calling for the military to protect them from persecution by militant Islamists.
Once in power, Morsi failed to press for constitutional amendments banning torture, or for accountability for the acts security forces had already committed.
Morsi's supporters argued that he was blocked by the military from effecting real change. Either way, his inaction fueled anger against the Brotherhood and a willingness to support a military crackdown against its members.
"There really did seem to be a desire to just wipe them off the political playing field," Ashraf Khalil, an independent Egyptian journalist, told FRONTLINE, after Morsi was overthrown.
Monday's ruling was handed down in court in response to a petition filed by a liberal political party. "The court bans the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood organization and its non-governmental organization and all the activities that it participates in and any organization derived from it," the judge, Mohammed al-Sayed said.
The ruling didn't include a prohibition on the Muslim Brotherhood's political group, the Freedom and Justice Party. But with so many members arrested and their arrests frozen, the move marks an effective ban on political organization as well.

High Calore, Low Carb Meals
My wife just found out she is pregnant with our 2nd(yay!).
Because diabetes runs in her family, both parents and 3 outta 4 grandparents, her Dr wants her to be on a low carb and high calorie diet. I think her calorie total is 2300-2400 I think.
Right now, she has eggs with guacamole for breakfast, almonds during the day, sometimes yogurt and a grilled chicken breast with salsa, cheese and guacamole for lunch.
Because I'm Italian and she is Asian we used to use a lot of rice and pastas with our meals which I am going to have to cut back on. I'll still make them, just not as much. So I'm trying to find some new meals that will be good for her.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

BERLIN (AP) — It probably wasn't the reception Barbie was hoping for at the start of her European tour.
Feminist protesters burned a doll on a cross and left-wing demonstrators shouted "pink stinks" at the Berlin opening of a life-sized Barbie house Thursday.
They far outnumbered Barbie fans who came to see the Mattel toy's fictional Malibu home.
Security guards swiftly ejected the protesters from the site, which is tucked away behind socialist high rises, railroad tracks and a shopping center near the city's gritty Alexanderplatz.
The "Barbie Dreamhouse" in Berlin is the second such theme house after a similar one opened recently in Florida.
It will remain in the German capital until August before going on tour around Europe.

If U.S. military personnel fail to comply with body composition standards, they are referred to a remedial weight management program. All military weight control program regulations implement Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 1308.1 (1981), which established a weight control program for all services. Each branch of the military has its own weight loss program, based on scientifically and medically accepted approaches for decreasing energy intake and increasing energy expenditure. Personnel participate in these programs until a weight within military standards is achieved.
The Army Weight Control Program is the responsibility of the deputy chief of staff for personnel, with counseling and medical policies established by the surgeon general. Evaluation of weight and appearance, measurement of body fat, and assignment to the weight control program are the responsibility of commanders and supervisors. All personnel are weighed a minimum of every 6 months (at the time of the physical fitness test [PFT]); additional weighings and body fat measures are at the discretion of the commander or supervisor. Personnel who exceed the screening table weight maximum for their height, gender, and age undergo circumferential body fat measurement (see Army body fat standards in Appendix B). Those who exceed body fat standards receive medical evaluation; those found to have no underlying causative disease are entered into the weight control program by the unit commander, and their personnel records are flagged (this notation carries implications for travel, education, permanent change of duty station, and promotion). They must receive nutrition counseling (one visit with a counselor) and are required to meet a weight loss goal of 3 to 8 lb per month (AR 600-9, 1986).
The nutrition counseling component of the Army Weight Control Program is provided by "qualified health care personnel," according to Army Regulation 600-9 (1986). Depending on the availability of such personnel, the counseling may be provided by registered dietitians, dietetic technicians, physicians' assistants, nurses, or physicians. Beyond the initial visit, there is no requirement regarding the number of visits, and an unlimited number of follow-up visits is permitted (Personal communication, LTC J. P. Warber, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, Mass., 1997). The educational materials and counseling provided appear to vary from one facility to another (Personal communication, C. Baker-Fulco and LTC J. P. Warber, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, Mass.; A. D. Cline, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, La., 1997). A general nutrition and weight management guide that emphasizes lower-fat food choices, sample menus, and advice on lifestyle and behavioral modification strategies appears as an appendix to Army Regulation 600-9, and may serve as a reference for Army health care personnel to provide counseling to personnel enrolled in weight control programs.
Progress of personnel in the Weight Control Program is monitored on a monthly basis and evaluated at 6 months. Failure to show satisfactory progress for 2 consecutive months or at the 6-mo point may result in additional medical evaluation and ultimately separation from the Army.

- Iconic and non-iconic stages in number development : the role of language (2003)
- Is language the key to number? This article argues that the human language faculty provides the cognitive equipment that enables humans to develop a systematic number concept. Crucially, this concept is based on non-iconic representations that involve relations between relations: relations between numbers are linked with relations between objects. In contrast to this, language-independent numerosity concepts provide only iconic representations. The pattern of forming relations between relations lies at the heart of our language faculty, suggesting that it is language that enables humans to make the step from these iconic representations, which we share with other species, to a generalised concept of number.

This page was taken from a members blog we she talks about her first transvestite fisting experience ...no whilst fisting a tgirl ins' t for all and needless to say not all trannys can take a fist it does make interesting read
Enjoy the members first fisting tranny sex blog .........
I'd been to a friends party and was introduced to this hunk of a guy called Steve. It was odd as he wasn't the usual type of guy I'd fall for but as I'd recently come out of a long term relationship I wasn't looking for anything other than brutal sex and fuck was he brutal...
We got chatting at the party and it didn't take long before the subject of sex was brought up and he told me that he enjoyed sex outdoors....now being a tad particle to a bit of fun outdoors we arranged to meet up as he lived quite close and knew a nicve private park we could meet in. It was at the edge of a wood and pulling into the car park I soon spotted him and getting out walked over in my VERY best slutty walk and straight away he kissed me
He took my hand and we started heading up the stairs and my little panties were already sodden...Once in the bedroom Steve pulled my arms back behind me and reached out and grabbed a tie bounding my arms tightly at the wrist. Then taking another placed a blindfold across my eyes and the excitement by now was making me weak at the knees, then turning me forcefully around he placed a gag into my mouth and I was helpless.
I really didn't know what was going to happen next and I was completely at his control, it did make me feel a little unsettled but also incredibly turned on.. I was forcefully pushed towards the bed and laid down face first and then not knowing was going to happen next my legs were bound. Pulling my skirt up to my waist and quite forcefully pulled my G String to one side and hearing a sound I couldn't really tell what was going on till I felt the feeling on lube being applying lube to my anus.
It was first his fingertips that probed in and out, then he started to widen his actions and my arse that was not unfamiliar to some healthy sized cock started to stretch more and at that stage I wondered was possible he was going to fist me ...Slowly another finger slipped inside quickly followed by another and another and knowing all four fingers were inside my I felt his thumb against my arse ....pushing back hard against his fist it slipped inside, the pain at first was intense as this was the biggest things i'd even had, but I wanted him and it eased then going to a dull ache but it was the fullness I'd never experienced before.
I paused for a brief while then pressed his fist further, deeper than anything had even been inside me before and I just could hold myself back from groaning aloud pulling back he pulled out he rolled me onto my side. He then reached out for a vibrator and pushed it deep inside my swollen arse cunt and he reached around and started to wank my cock I knew I wouldn't be able to handle much but I couldn't say anything due to the gag and it wasn't long before I squirted my cum out and he moved over licking the end of my cock ......
smiling at me he removed the gag...now its your turn to have some fun...and with that I put my bitch head on and knew that he was going to have the pleasure of my fist ........oh boy I was going to have fun...

Occult Invention: The Rebirth of Rhetorical Heuresis in Early Modern British Literature from Chapman to SwiftMcCann, Michael Charles, 1959- (University of Oregon, September , 2011)[more][less]McCann, Michael Charles, 1959- 2012-03-26T23:47:59Z 2012-03-26T23:47:59Z 2011-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12081 xiv, 234 p. : ill. The twentieth-century project of American rhetorician Kenneth Burke, grounded in a magic-based theory of language, reveals a path to the origins of what I am going to call occult invention. The occult, which I define as a symbol set of natural terms derived from supernatural terms, employs a method of heuresis based on a metaphor-like process I call analogic extension. Traditional invention fell from use shortly after the Liberal Arts reforms of Peter Ramus, around 1550. Occult invention emerged nearly simultaneously, when Early Modern British authors began using occult symbols as tropes in what I refer to as the Occult Mode. I use six of these authors--George Chapman, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Abraham Cowley, John Dryden, and Jonathan Swift--as examples of how occult invention arises. In appropriating occult symbolism, authors in the Occult Mode began using the invention methods of the occult arts of magic, alchemy, astrology, and cabala to derive new meanings, transform language, develop characters and plots, and reorient social perspectives. As we learn in tracking Burke's project, occult invention combines the principles of Aristotle's rhetoric and metaphysics with the techniques and principles of the occult arts. Occult invention fell from use around the end of the eighteenth century, but its rhetorical influence reemerged through the work of Burke. In this study I seek to contextualize and explicate some of the literary sources and rhetorical implications of occult invention as an emergent field for further research.

Rayneard, Max James Anthony (University of Oregon, September , 2011)[more][less]Rayneard, Max James Anthony 2012-03-27T00:20:23Z 2013-09-01T10:00:07Z 2011-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12083 x, 208 p. In this dissertation "literariness" is defined not merely as a quality of form by which texts are evaluated as literary, but as an immanent and critical sensibility by which reading, writing, speaking, learning, and teaching subjects within the literary humanities engage language in its immediate aesthetic (and thus also historical and ethical) aspect. This reorientation seeks to address the literary academy's overwhelming archival focus, which risks eliding literary endeavor as an embodied undertaking that inevitably reflects the historical contingency of its enactment. Literary endeavor in higher education is thus understood as a performance by which subjects enact not only the effect of literary texts upon themselves but also the contingencies of their socio-economic, national, cultural, and personal contexts. Subjects' responses to literature are seen as implicit identity claims that, inevitably constituted of biases, can be evaluated through the lens of post-positivist realism in terms of their ethical and pragmatic usefulness. Framing this reoriented literariness in terms of its enactment in higher education literature classrooms, this dissertation addresses its pedagogical, methodological, and personal implications. The events of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the literature arising from it serve as a pivotal case study. The TRC Hearings, publically broadcast and pervasive in the national discourse of the time, enacted a scenario in which South Africans confronted the implications for personal and national identities of apartheid's racial abuses. The dissertation demonstrates through close reading and anecdotal evidence how J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace and Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull formally reactivate this scenario in the subject in the event of reading, while surveys of critical responses to these texts show how readers often resisted the texts' destabilizing effects. A critical account of the process that resulted in Telling, Eugene - a stage production in which U.S. military veterans tell their stories to their civilian communities - analyzes the idea of literariness in the U.S. and assesses its potential for socially engaged literary praxis.

This dissertation explores the interaction between filmmaking and the changing exigencies of leftist political ideologies in China at different stages of modernity: semi-colonial modernity, socialist modernity, and global modernity. Besides a historical examination of the left-wing cinema movement in the 1930s and socialist cinema in the Mao era, it focuses on the so-called "main melody" films that are either produced with financial backing by the state or sanctioned by governmental film awards in 1990s China. As products of globalization, Chinese "main melody" films are growing in complexity and maturity with the deepening of globalization, especially in competition with Hollywood cinema. Inspired by Louis Althusser, this dissertation attempts to address the lacunae of existing scholarship on Chinese "main melody" films by analyzing the role of the film medium as a significant ideological state apparatus (ISA) in serving ideological transitions occurring in 1990s China. Meanwhile, it also examines how the operation of the ideological mechanism in Chinese "main melody" films is different from the Althusserian definition. An examination of the polyphonic narration of history shows how the revolutionary history has been retold in "main melody" films in different ways to create a rich discursive space in post-socialist China. Special attention has also been paid to the cinematic representation of Chinese nationalism, contending that the instigation of nationalism in non-EuroAmerican societies--despite the fact that nationalism can be easily appropriated by the state as an effective ideological discourse to conceal domestic social conflicts--calls attention to the often ignored historical linkages between colonialism and the expanding global capitalism. In addition, it also examines the role of Chinese intellectuals in the discursive construction of nationalism. An analysis of Chinese masculinity shows that recent changes in gender discourse are closely related to China's socio-economic development in the era of globalization. Based on Stuart Hall's "encoding/decoding" model, the last part of this dissertation explores how the Chinese spectator as a subject can negotiate the ideological interpellation by the "main melody" film text in his/her own way.

It focuses particularly on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, Leopoldo Lugones's short stories "La fuerza omega" and "Yzur," and Jaime Torres Bodet's novel Proserpina rescatada. It examines how each author grapples with the dislocation of the human voice from the body made possible through new recording technology. This selection of texts displays a range of engagements with this new technology, from a critique of rising positivism and machines in the early twentieth century, to experiments with aural metaphors in the wake of sounded film, and finally to the 1930s, when sound recording becomes an arm of government surveillance against its citizens. In each instance, the circulation of sound technology causes a shift in modes of representation that require new definitions of what it means to be human in an increasingly mechanized world. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

I argue that the significance of the poem is an historically constituted and changing interpretation produced in a sequence of editions, and that insofar as translation is the necessary tool of Sinology, our scholarship and teaching should rest on a translation practice that visibly reflects the particularly Chinese material and reception histories of our texts. I analyze the rhetorical strategies by which specific interpreters, including Sima Qian, Wang Yi, Hong Xingzu, Zhu Xi, and Guo Moruo, "translate" the "Li Sao" through history, constructing personas of Qu Yuan that speak to the politics of their own respective eras. The last chapter is a new translation of the "Li Sao" based on my investigation of the poem's history. It contains multiple English renderings and diverse selections of historical commentary, presented in interlinear form, in order to facilitate historically critical understanding of the "Li Sao" and demonstrate the breadth of interpretation that it is possible to derive from the text. The translation offers not a single interpretation of the poem but rather an image of the historical dialogue that has produced and disputed it in interpretations from the Han dynasty to the present. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. Writers in the Caribbean, like writers throughout the postcolonial world, return to colonial texts to rewrite the myths that justified and maintained colonial control. Exemplary of a widespread, regional phenomenon that begins at mid-century, writers such as Aimé Césaire and George Lamming take up certain texts such as Shakespeare's The Tempest and recast them in their own image. Postcolonial literary theory reads this act of rewriting the canon as a political one that speaks back to power and often advocates for political and cultural independence. Towards the end of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Caribbean women writers begin a new wave of rewriting that continues in this tradition, but with certain differences, not least of which is a focused attention to gender and sexuality and to the literary legacies of romance. In the dissertation I consider a number of novels from throughout the region that rewrite the romance, including Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), Maryse Condé's La migration des coeurs (1995), Mayra Santos-Febres's Nuestra señora de la noche (2006), and Dionne Brand's In Another Place, Not Here (1996). Romance, perhaps more than any other literary form, exerts an allegorical force that exceeds the story of individual characters. The symbolic weight of romance imagines the possibilities of a social order--a social order dependent on the sexual behavior of its citizens. By rewriting the romance, Caribbean women reconsider the sexual politics that have linked women with metaphorical constructions of the nation while at the same time detailing the extent to which transnational forces, including colonization, impact the representation of love and desire in literary texts. Although ultimately these novels refuse the generic requirements of the traditional resolution for romance (the so-called happy ending), they nonetheless gesture towards a reordering of community and a revised notion of kinship that recognizes the weight of both gendered and sexual identities in the Caribbean.

Humanistic Psychology
Humanistic psychology is founded on the belief that moral and ethical values and intentions are the driving forces of our psychological construct and directly determine our human behavior. This value-oriented approach views humans as inherently driven to maximize their creative choices and interactions in order to gain a heightened sense of liberty, awareness, and life-affirming emotions. It was developed by Gordon Allport, J. Bugental, Charlotte Buhler, Abraham Maslow , Rollo May , Gardner Murphy, Henry Murray, Fritz Perls, and Carl Rogers.

Theory and Methods of Humanistic Psychology
Humanistic psychology integrates multiple techniques of therapy, such as Carl Rogers's person-centered therapy, also known as "Rogerian therapy." Humanism suggests that a person is created with a distinct priority of needs and drives, that each person must rely on their own inner wisdom and healing center, and that all people possess free will. Psychologists who practice this method of therapy take a nonpathological approach and target the productive, adaptive, and beneficial traits and behaviors of a person.
Find a Therapist
Importance of Value of Human Beings and Dignity
This method of psychology realizes that there are external influences that have severe and often negative implications on the mind, both consciously and unconsciously. However, humanistic psychology stresses the inherent value of human beings and focuses on their ability to retain their dignity and their conscious willingness to form self-respect and competence. This value orientation is responsible for the creation of various other therapy models that utilize interpersonal skills for the purpose of maximizing one's life experience.

Hello my love! Hello! Hi!
Why art thou crossed with me? Why?
Read the book of my heart on thy own
For I am so simple and shy.
Every night when I go to bed,
I collapse on the bed and lie,
And get lost in the memory of thee
And my imagination starts to fly
N' there appears the moon of thy face,
Moving on my imagination's sky.
I try to get thee and embrace
And burst into a joyful cry!
But, alas! Thou art no more found
When all around me I eye.
If thou ask "who loves me most?"
Every beat of my heart will reply,
"O' the queen of spring, soul of flowers,
It is I! It is I! It is I"!
The more n' more thou come to my mind,
To forget thee the more I try.
But, oh! It makes no difference to thee,
If I'm gonna die, I should die!
I wait and wait and wait,
And thou come like a flash and fly!
My soul goes away with thee,
When thou bid me goodbye!
I've taken too much of thy time,
Let me now leave. Goodbye!
