Quite an interesting post from a blog I hadn't heard of, Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis, about how cops are doing massive "click it or ticket" operations–waiting outside of shopping mall parking lots, in some cases–in attempt to deal with state or municipal budget shortfalls.
The blogger comes up with a nice selection examples from across the country, including a California Highway Patrol declaring a "Maximum Enforcement Period" (MEP) for Memorial Day weekend this year, to Texas, where 10% of adults have outstanding warrants, almost all of them for moving violations (see below), and Dallas County, where half of the county's revenue comes from traffic tickets.
But he introduces the topic thus: "Cash strapped cities, states, and municipalities are increasingly looking to raise revenue by issuing tickets instead of cutting expenses." How about raising taxes on the rich, or stimulus money for state budget needs rather than for law enforcement?
Anyhow, it's a great story. Here's a bit about Texas:
In Texas, to my mind, we've already taken this strategy about as far as it can go, to the point that, right now, more than 10% of Texas adults have outstanding arrest warrants–mostly for traffic tickets.
Dallas County represents perhaps the most extreme example of this trend in Texas. According to the Dallas Morning News ("Dallas county to vote on withholding vehicle registrations for those who owe fines," Feb. 9), "Unlike most counties, Dallas County gets slightly more than half of its annual revenue from fines and fees. Other counties rely more heavily on property-tax revenue."
Now Dallas plans to step up the pressure on even more on folks who can't or don't pay traffic fines, denying vehicle registration to drivers with outstanding traffic tickets. Again, we're talking about more than 10% of the adult population!

A feature in Car and Driver covered the phenomenon back in February:
More Tickets in Hard Times
Cities searching for revenue look to their police departments as a way to cash in.
BY GEORGE HUNTER | February 2009
Motorists beware: In some communities, police are issuing tickets during these hard times at a rate higher than ever in what critics say is an attempt to raise revenue in order to offset budget shortfalls.
Take, for example, the metropolitan Detroit area, which has been reeling economically much longer than has the rest of the country. The number of moving violations issued has increased by at least 50 percent in 18 communities in the metro area since 2002—and 11 of those municipalities have seen ticketing increases of 90 percent or more. During that time, Michigan has cut revenue sharing to communities by $3 billion. Officials are scrambling to balance their budgets amid the tumbling economy, and some people say the authorities are turning to traffic cops for help.
The president of a state police union isn't pretending it doesn't happen. James Tignanelli, president of the Police Officers Association of Michigan union, says, "When elected officials say, 'We need more money,' they can't look to the department of public works to raise revenues, so where do they find it? Police departments.
"A lot of police chiefs will tell you the goal is to have nobody speeding through their community, but heaven forbid if it should actually happen—they'd be out of money," Tignanelli says.
Police Chief Michael Reaves of Utica, Michigan, says the role of law enforcement has changed over the years. "When I first started in this job 30 years ago, police work was never about revenue enhancement, but if you're a chief now, you have to look at whether your department produces revenues," he says. "That's just the reality nowadays."
Read the rest of the article. (One funny bit was a quote from a motorist who points out that this will have a bad effect on tourism in Michigan "no wonder the state's economy is in the porcelain." I'd never heard that expression—it's a gem.)

Mobile Meals in need of volunteersWritten by Morgan Delp | | email@example.com
Mobile Meals of Toledo, which provides daily sustenance to 600 people in the Toledo area, is in urgent need of volunteers. About 500 people serve clients who are unable to provide meals for themselves due to medical problems, but with 40 daily routes that are constantly changing, the need for volunteers is extremely high.
"It's kind of an ebb and flow," said Associate Executive Director Carolyn Fox. "A lot of our volunteer base are retirees, so several are on medical leave or golf during the day in the summer. Also, another big age group is the 50s, who are now starting to care for their own parents."
Volunteers are needed to meet the constant demand for Mobile Meals, a nonprofit organization founded in 1967. It "is designed to enable the elderly, ill, disabled, homebound, the convalescing and all those who need assistance with diet and meal preparation to remain in their own homes and retain the dignity and independence they treasure," according to mobilemeals.org.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., people ranging from high school students to elderly adults travel to one of six area pickup sites and deliver around 10-14 meals near their home or workplace.
Retiree Vicki Melms and her husband Rick deliver at least one route a week, sometimes two or three. Since 2009, the couple has made it their mission to help.
"I used to work at MCO's Center for Successful Aging and got to know a lot of the senior resources that we had in the city and I really liked Mobile Meals," Vicki said. "When I retired, I took one month off and then started volunteering. I enjoy going and meeting people and knowing that I am doing something for them. We're healthy and can get around and we just think about the people that can't."
Patty Dabrowski of the Hylant Group has volunteered with a coworker for about eight years. She, with many other employees around the Toledo area, participate in Corporate Cares, an initiative of Mobile Meals that encourages people to volunteer during their lunch break.
"We pick up meals from Mercy Healthcare Center, which is right down the street from our office in Downtown," Dabrowski said. "We go deliver our route then stop and get a bite to eat, and we're usually back to work within an hour and a half."
Dabrowski noticed that one client's freezer was full of meals she never ate, and she only continued to pay for meals for the companionship of a volunteer, even if for a short time each day. In the case of some clients, the volunteer is the only person they will see that day.
In a letter to Fox, one grateful client, Marleen, said, "I worked at Wal-Mart as a people greeter for 19 years until I fell and broke my hip. … Now I'm on dialysis and living independently again because of Mobile Meal's delicious renal diet. I can't do it without all of them so I want them to know how much I appreciate the work they do."
Mobile Meals encourages anyone who is interested in volunteering to call (419) 255-7806, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or check out their website: www.mobilemeals.org.

Marc Cortez has a wonderful giveaway involving Moo' Romans commentary in the NICNT. In an interview with Trevin Wax Wright made thf following very kind remark about Moo's Pauline scholarship:
Moo is in a different category again. Doug Moo, I would say, is a much greater Pauline scholar than either of the two I just mentioned. One of the things I really respect about Doug Moo is that he is constantly grappling with the text. Where he hears the text saying something which is not what his tradition would have said, he will go with the text. I won't always agree with his exegesis, but there is a relentless scholarly honesty about him which I really tip my hat off to.
I already have a copy of the commentary but if you don't, you should enter. I actually liked Moo's commentary better than Wright's and if you want a good commentary to read alongside of Wright this is the one to have. To enter you have to…
As usual, the rules are simple. If you'd like a chance to win the book, here's what you do (UPDATE – you only need to do one of the following, though you can do more if you choose):
Blog about it and link to this post
Link to the post from Twitter and let me know in the comments
Link to the post from Facebook and let me know in the comments
Comment on this post and indicate that you want the book
Make a video of yourself on a busy street, dressed like a Roman citizen, explaining to random pedestrians why the book of Romans is important. Post the video on YouTube and leave a comment here.
You can enter as many different ways as you'd like (bonus points for the YouTube video) and increase your odds of winning. I'll accept entries through September 15, and then randomly select a winner.
Surely someone will post the You Tube video. Personally I'd love to see Joel in a Roman Centurion's outfit on some West Virginian street corner late at night…Just saying…

GH Needs To Do A Who Done It SL.
i need to ge...
I was recently thinking we're due for a crisis ... Such as the metro court hostage, flu, fire, black & white ball.... I think it's coming time for another big crisis that everyone is involved in
Somebody is going to kill Dr. O? And there are plenty of people who want her dead. Not me personally, I like her crazy self.
Quote Hyatt4Life: GH Needs To Do A Who Done It SL.
I would very much love it if TPTB were to do a Who Done It and the so called victim would be nobody but Britch. And I think that she go by way of Katherine Bell who was pushed off a balcony at Wyndemere. And the kicker here is the pusher/killer will be a blonde woman who is wearing nothing but black leather from head to toe and she has most of hair covered so you will only see a portion of her blonde hair and she will also be wearing dark black shades to cover her eyes and a bandana covering her face. So here is the list of potential suspects and their motives:
1. Lulu Spencer-Falconeri (Emme Rylan):
Motive: Britch kidnapped her baby and refused to give him back to her.
2. Coutrney Matthews Corinthos (Alicia Leigh Willis or Alexa Havins if Alicia isn't able to reprise role):
Motives: To get theevil doctor away from her son and Nikolas, she just found out thather great nephew was kidnapped by the evil Britch.
3. Carly Corinthos-Jacks(Laura Wright):
Motive: She found out that her second cousin has been kidnapped by Britch and this all about family loyalty.
4. Laura Webber Spencer (Genie Francis):
Motive: Her grandson was kidnapped by evil Britch and she wants to protect baby Spencer-Falconeri and her other grandson Spencer Cassadine from the evil Britch.
* So you see it would be one of these four ladies that will do us all huge favor by eliminating the evil doctor Britch.
So... you want them to bring back Skipper (Courtney) from the dead, just so she can kill someone?
Please dear God no - don't bring back Courtney!!!! GH does need a GOOD who dunit along the lines of Susan Moore's murder and the murder mystery involving Terri Brock, Kevin O'Connor, Patrick O'Connor and Lucy Coe from the 80s. Those were GOOD stories!
I think the last who done it story line was when Jake died. But i can't get behind this one. I think Britt is getting enough air time and attention and that is annoying enough.
They still haven't solved Connie's murder.
Quote taramartin: They still haven't solved Connie's murder.
Yes, please solve this one before even thinking about starting another one.

City shine at national competition
Posted: November 29, 2012|
City of Bath Rhythmic Gymnastic Club came away from a high-quality National Club Team Championship in Walsall with overall bronze medals after showing their strength across the age ranges.
The espoire group for under-12s claimed silver in their category and the junior team took bronze, while the senior side – weakened by the absence of two London 2012 gymnasts through injury – finished fourth.
More than 150 gymnasts from eight of the biggest and best clubs in Britain took part in the competition, which saw each age range broken down into four categories – individual, duet, trio and group.
To add to the excitement, clubs could play jokers – which doubled the points scored by a routine – and meant the final results remained a surprise right up until the announcement.
City's espoire group have taken massive strides forwards since the first round of the competition back in early October and were very strong in all disciplines.
The juniors also upped their game, with the duet and trio working well before Sarah Dennis – performing in her last competition before moving up to the senior category – performed the individual discipline in style.

Research suggests that students whose parents are involved in their schooling make better grades and are more likely to go to college, and some states -- with California leading the way of course -- are passing parent trigger laws that give parents much more power to intervene when local schools are failing. President Obama has weighed in as well. He is one of many leaders calling on parents to step up to the plate when it comes to education. "We all know that we can have the best schools and the most dedicated teachers in the world," Obama said in a public service announcement taped in 2010. "But it won't be enough unless we fill our responsibilities as parents. "
Most American parents readily agree with the premise that parents are a crucial ingredient in a child's educational success. A few years ago, when the Gallup/Phi Delta Kappa survey asked parents which is more important in helping a child learn -- parents or the school --the results weren't even close: 78 percent of parents said "the student's parents" and only 21 percent said "the school." And an analysis of opinion research conducted by my organization, Public Agenda, and the Kettering Foundation shows that most parents view participating in their child's education as a fundamental responsibility and see stronger parent and community involvement as a critical factor in improving neighborhood schools. As a DC dad in one of our focus groups put it: " I think [good schools] depend on the parent participation... Some schools have a lot of parents... in the PTA. They come to the school. They advocate for the school regularly."
But what exactly do we mean by "parental involvement"? Are we talking about traditional parental roles -- the moms and dads who check on homework and report cards and support the schools from time to time by helping out with clubs, sports, and bake sales? Or are we talking about parents as change agents -- citizens who push school reform forward by voting for candidates who share their views on education and challenging local officials to make sure their schools have world-class standards, top-notch principals and teachers, and sufficient funding to do the job?
It's rapidly becoming clear that "parental involvement" actually means very different things to different people. Based on a recent Public Agenda study for the Kauffman Foundation, parents themselves seem to differ in their view of what kind of parent involvement is most effective and in their comfort levels in taking on various roles. Although the study focused on parents in the Kansas City area, it may well have implications for parental involvement initiatives around the country.

This is the time of year when we are all lighting our fireplaces and woodstoves. The wood has been piled up all summer drying out, and it's time to use it. The only problem is that while it has been piled up, it has become home to many little critters.
Our woodpile has lizards, snakes, wood bees, a variety of spiders and other insects, and even squirrels living in and among the logs. They coexist very cozily in our woodpile, and although we hate to disturb everyone, we do need to light our fireplace once in a while. We purposefully leave the bottom three or four rows of logs undisturbed (so that all the burrowing animals have a warm hiding place for the winter) and are very careful when bringing logs into the house, checking each one for life and putting logs back onto the pile if someone is in or on them. But once in a while, someone slips by us if it's dark while we are gathering our wood for the evening's fire.
The other night, we had a roaring fire going. The house was warm, our dogs and house rabbit were hanging out in front of the fireplace, and I decided to throw on another couple of logs. I picked one up that had a hole in the end. Always worried about harming animals unintentionally, we grabbed a flashlight, looked into the hole, and saw two little eyes staring back at us. A lizard had been sleeping deep in the hole, and we missed him when we gathered our wood. We put the log back into the woodpile outside so the little guy could continue his nap. Luckily, we had found him, but we were still very shook up-if we hadn't checked the log, it would have been a very painful death for him.
I can't stress enough how important it is to check each and every log before throwing it onto the fire. That woodpile might look like nothing but a bunch of old logs, but most woodpiles are teeming with life, and you will enjoy your warm fire a whole lot more knowing that you took those extra few seconds to check for those elusive little critters who call your woodpile home.

BRYAN- "Hi, Mrs. Hardy. How are you doing today?" asked a nursing student at the Texas A&M Health Science Center.
"Oh, I feel so bad," the patient replied.
As Mrs. Hardy takes a turn for the worse, Blinn nursing students rush to her aid. But it isn't a real hospital and Mrs. Hardy isn't a real person. Both are part of a 23,000 square foot high tech simulation lab at the Texas A&M Health Science Center. It allows students to practice treatment on life like 'patients.'
The mannequin simulators used in the facility breathe, cry, give birth and are programmed to respond physiologically to their interactions, allowing students to respond to a broad range of traumas and injuries.
"It's a way for us to practice so that we can learn from our mistakes before we take care of patients in the clinical setting," said the director of the Blinn Associate Degree Nursing Program, Michael Hutton.
Nurses are in high demand and Blinn is making it their priority to train students with the best technology. Hutton said all nursing programs across the nation have been tasked with increasing enrollment so they can increase graduates.
"I think we have doubled our enrollment in the last six years in an attempt to meet the anticipated need," Hutton said.
Students like Lourna Santana are enjoying the hands on experience, even if their patients aren't real.
"Hello, Mr. Johnson," Santana said to her 'patient.' "My name is Lourna. I am a student nurse with Blinn College and today I am going to be helping your primary nurse take care of you."
If she makes a mistake, her professors are there to help - and patients don't pay the price.
"So that, it makes us better nurses," Santana said. "Even as student nurses when we go to facilities, we are able to do what we've learned here at the bedside to the patients, real patients in the hospital setting."
By saving one 'life' at a time, these students will be better prepared when its time to go out into the real world and save real lives.

It didn't take long for Aaron Maybin to demonstrate he could be counted on to provide big plays for the talented, but youthful defensive line. In the 2007 season-opener against Florida International, he recorded his first career sack, good for 10 yards, and had two solo stops in his first game as a Nittany Lion. A week later, Maybin brought Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen to the turf for an eight-yard loss in the 31-10 win. He would go on to rank fourth on the team with four sacks for minus-32 yards, earning a spot on The Sporting News Freshman All-Big Ten team. A promising player with great potential, Maybin played in every game last year and will enter preseason camp looking to challenge senior Josh Gaines for one of the starting defensive end spots. An all-state selection at Mount Hebron HS, he has great size, skills and athleticism and should be a significant contributor the next three seasons. The personable and hard-working young man took the lead in organizing approximately 10 of his future teammates to gather at a Maryland hotel and sign their letters of intent to attend Penn State in February 2006. Maybin is one of seven returning Nittany Lions who were prep standouts in Maryland.

We were in line for boarding when I heard the announcement. "We will give the volunteer a $500 travel voucher, as well as pay for their hotel and food."
Well, hot dog. Gather 'round friends and watch how this SAHM is going to make us a quick $1000 in travel vouchesr. Yes, just watch.
Without hesitation I grabbed Brixton, jumped out of line and headed over to the counter. Brendan stood in line, his eyes wide and looking unsure. I was sure. I was finally going to contribute!!
"We will volunteer!" I said happily, thinking this idea was amazing and I must be the bravest most clever and resourceful wife/mom ever. Turns out I was the stupidest. All with good intent, of course.
In the end, the deal only worked out for Brixton and I, since Brendan had to be at a meeting. The deal meant I had to stay in a hotel for 3 nights with Brixton, paid, with some food vouchers (they don't nearly give you enough).
Inside I kind of pooped a little. 3 days in a hotel room with Brixton? Trapped? I couldn't back out now, not only was the guy processing the paperwork, but about 25 people were staring at me.
I put on my brave face, especially in light of the fact we had only the clothes and bags that were with us, i.e., no diapers, no stroller, no clothes, nothing. I made Brixton an extra absorbent diaper by folding together a few washcloths and then making him some plastic pants out of duct tape. No, no I didn't. Day two turned into hell. I just wanted to be home. Day three took some major deep breathing to get through. And then we found out our flight home on Monday was cancelled and wouldn't be rescheduled until Thursday.
Wah wah.
And they weren't paying for the hotel or food anymore.
Luckily, my MIL rescued us and took us back to her house for the last few days, even giving me several hours "off" in order to lay in bed and binge watch The Tudors. Refreshing, indeed.
Here are some tips if you ever find yourself stranded in a hotel room with your toddler:
1. Just don't do it.
Hour 53 or something in that same shirt.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 23, 1996 As people throughout the world call for a ban on land mines, DoD is finding ways to use only self-destructing mines, according to a Pentagon spokesman.
"Anti-personnel land mines, as they're used around the world today, are a terrible weapon," said Defense Secretary William J. Perry. "We should seek ways of eliminating them."
A student at Georgetown University asked Perry April 18 about his view on the proposed land mine ban following the secretarys speech there.
"The terrorist nature of these land mines comes from the fact that after the battles are over, they remain in the ground for years or even decades, and innocent people are blown up by them years after the battles are over," Perry said. As an interim step to eliminating mines, Perry said, a strong move is under way in the United States to convert to self-destructing mines.
President Clinton announced in 1994 the United States would strive for eventual elimination of anti-personnel mines, said Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon. DoD is looking at ways to do that, he said.
"Land mines do provide essential protection, perimeter defense, to American troops, particularly today in Korea," Bacon said. "We have to find a way to balance the protective and military uses of land mines against the desire to eliminate them over time."
Achieving the long-term objective of eliminating anti-personnel land mines altogether, Perry said, will take time. U.S. contingency plans, particularly those for the defense of Korea, include use of land mines, he said. Eliminating their use in Korea would lead to the deaths of thousands of American and South Korean soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, he said.
"Until we can find a way of replacing that military capability, we have to somehow keep those in service," Perry said. "So the question is one of timing and developing the proper transition plan so that we can get rid of them. But the long-term objective of eliminating anti-personnel land mines is exactly right."

Apple patents new unibody hinge to make laptops even thinner August 23, 2013 at 10:26 am
The size of our devices are stuck at something of a bottleneck. We can't exactly make them smaller because they're so reliant on large, easily visible displays. So, the industry makes do, and makes the devices thinner, which reduces overall size without compromising display size. One object standing in the way of even thinner laptops is the hinge, and Apple might have found a way to remove that from the design equation.
Why AMD's ultrathin notebooks are doomed to fail June 15, 2012 at 2:18 pm
AMD's answer to Intel-based ultrabooks is its ultrathin platform, which are thin-and-light notebooks built around either the chip maker's accelerated processing units. While they have some positive attributes, their future is not looking particularly bright right now.
Intel unleashes dual-core Ivy Bridge chips, updated ultrabooks incoming May 31, 2012 at 12:01 am
Intel's new dual-core Ivy Bridge chips are available, and the company is putting a full court press on pushing the chips into OEM systems. How will the new CPUs stack up, and what kind of performance can customers expect?
AMD apes Intel, will offer "Ultrathin" laptops January 17, 2012 at 1:44 pm
AMD is planning its own version of Intel's ultrabook, but the company's "Ultrathin" initiative — like its Lightning Bolt interface — seems a poor imitation.

I am 42 years old and attracted to younger women 20-34? Ladies would you date a man my age?
Ladies ,
I know I am attracted to younger females and no I am not a player...younger ladies would you date a 42 year old man?
Why or why not!
Most Helpful Opinion
Oh my, your update! I haven't read anyone's responses but I think you'll like mine! You can absolutely date younger women! I am married to a guy who is 10 years older than me and my late husband was 16 years older than me! Age is nothing but a thang unless the woman is older and the guy wants kids. If you fall for someone much younger than you and you both are in the same mind set then THAT is what counts. I would much rather date someone who is on my level than be stuck with someone who is not just because of an age factor. Now here's something funny. Lately MUCH younger men have been hitting on me and at first I shunned them but then when I started talking with them there were quite a few that seemed to have higher intelligence than me and I found that to be SO attractive! I can feel it now, I'm gonna be a real cougar! lol. You go ahead Sweetie and date all those younger women you want. There are so many women out there like me who prefer an older more distinguished man who has good morals and we can hold a very intelligent conversation with. I really hope this helped. Oh and by the way, my sister recently married a man who is 18 years older than her. Whoo Hooo!
What Girls Said 40
Being completely honest, although I don't have a problem with age differences (my mom is 13 years older than my dad), I'd prefer not to be with a guy older than late 20's or early 30's at my present age, because he's close to my generation and may understand some of my experiences better. I just don't think it would work out, since we'd be in such different stages of our lives. I admit that I still have some growing up to do and things to work on, and I don't want a guy who's a lot older than me to feel like he's babysitting me or want to rush me into anything just because he's already there. Once I've improved myself some more, finished school in a few years and can enter the real world on my own, I might be open to a wider age gap. But that's only a maybe and there are lots of factors to consider.
I'm 19 so I don't really fall into that age range, but no I wouldn't. The differences would just be too big. He would be at a totally different stage in his life, I just don't think we would have a lot in common.
Plus I want children in about 5 - 10 years, he'll be 47 - 52, no offense but I think that's a bit old for starting a family
@update lol women have an even harder time dating boys 20 years younger. No one should date someone 20 years younger. If keep going for it though, you better have money because statistically the older the age difference the more likley the younger person is in there for the money. With a 20 years age difference she is almost certainley in it for the money.
Everyone is attracted to youth. That's what you're suppose to be attracted to since it's a person's prime age. You should really stick to people your own age though, because you and girls in their 20's will have almost nothing in common. A lot of people have preferences but won't say no to other people just because they don't fit that, so keep your options open, And you do seem like a weird pervert, because your user name is larry69, not because of who you find attractive, haha
my name is my birth year 1969
Lol, that's still very misleading, and you know it!
Lol, is that all you want? someone to have kids with? Go get a surrogate! You need to understand that the parents of these so called women won't approve sadly. you're only attracted to the sex obsessed youthfulness and freshness of the young. But hey, I can undersand? Good luck. It may NEVER arrive.
You're dream girl GIRL. ...GIRL
I know a 42yo guy I wasn't good enough for because I was close to his age. He went and got a 25yo virgin instead. She was so young & stupid she had no idea she was getting played. He said ALL the right things and got her to open her legs instead of waiting for marriage like she wanted. So sad, but young people can't help their brains don't stop growing until they're 30. The thing is older men know this and they use it to their advantage. Creepy!
Some do some like the spark youth and love brings...
Yeah, younger guys are better looking... smoother, softer skin, stronger sex drives. But when I really look at them as a person, mostly I see immaturity, inexperience, and naiveness. I don't want to be with someone I'm constantly having to educate. If I wanted I child, I'd give birth to one.
idk I am talking to a guy that is 30 right now (i'm 21) and we have a lot in common other then the fact that he doesn't really like to party and I am still in my party phase. but I could see us working out. you just gotta meet a girl with your interest. we have lots in common, music taste, movies, clothing, so I could see us together. he isn't especially rich either so its not even that kinda of thing. 42 though, eh I don't know how much we would have in common. the guy I am talking to now doesn't even understand the concept of pokemon or harry potter which I know is for children but I was a child when those things came out so I still kinda like them. I feel like a 42 year old would find me childish.
its really depressing to think that I am only going to be attractive to guys for the next 9 years. yeah that is fcking bleak.
I think finding you childish is part of the appeal to older men. (not saying you are childish, just requoting you) ;)
idk I might be too childish tho, that guy just decided to stop talking to me because I party too much lol. back to dating college boys(:
No I've tried it. I've found that the men get turned off by that fact that I'm still in college and not living on my own. We're at different stages in life so it's not as easy to connect with someone who is living on their own with a full time job. Also I get really excited about midnight music events and concerts while it seems older have "settled down".
Well I am unsure. I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I usually would want to be with somone my age but I know men that are older are just that, men. They are more mature, wiser, experienced, and look at the world from a different perspective than a 20 year old. So maybe, yes. I think if society hadn't drilled into me the idea that dating someone so much older is socially unacceptable/wrong, I might be more open to it. But I am still unsure of this particular topic.
Good answer
finally a smart girl!
I wish more girls would think like that then girls would look for love and feel OK with what ever age. No one would be asking this question
Personally I probably wouldn't I'm 25 my sister is 23 and dating a 43 yearold well prob leaving him soon though... I don't know it's just a large age gap for me personally and even for my sister sees it she wants to spend time with friends and is young going to college and he wants to settle down and stuff. I mean if you love the person then OK it depends on the girl but I always prefered someone a little closer to my age group. Sry if it sounds mean or double standards I mean hey I think it's weird when a like 43 yearold lady was dating a dude in his 20's it's just personal preference but good luck;).
To be honest no no no, I don't care how much money you have, how hot you are, I don't care, one because at 42 your at a different of life, at 21 the oldest I could do at 32 and in fact I did do a a 32 year old and even he and I ran into the problem I was working two jobs and going to college and he had a career and wanted to settle down and at 21 I wasn't ready to be anyones wife and have anyones baby. he didn't understand that I couldn't blow money on extravagant trips. and besides it would awkward to take home a guy who is close to my parents age (44, 46)
when I was 24 I dated an older man that was 37 years old. He turned out to be a player but that has not put me off older men anyway. All depends on what situation he is in and if the relationship would work.
And of course you like younger woman because younger woman nowadays put a lot more on show than more mature women.
Just my opinion ofc :)
Honestly only if you have money. There is a guy in his late 30s early 40s I think that's trying to get with me and I wouldn't even give him no time because he's broke. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but if you're old trying to date young, at least come with some money to sweeten the deal. If not, what's the point?
tell it like it is
no, because I thought I would at one point..but I dated a 32 year old and I'm 21 and the age gap was way too large. I wouldn't go above 30 now.
if I was less than 10 years younger I would consider dating your age.
at update, no you are reading it the wrong way, besides men that age really only want younger women for sex. how can people at different stages in life and in different generations have a real life together? sure they can have a sexual relationship, call it exclusive if it makes you happy, but that's all it is.
and if the women don't want to date older men either it's a two way street. they feel uncomfortable and taken advantage of by an older man who is not an equal and it's understandable.
Of course you're attracted to younger females. Most people, men and women, are at their physical prime in that area. That does not mean that lasting relationships form that way. You'll also have to "compensate" her in a way for giving up physical attraction to be with you. This usually comes in the form of being rich. If you honestly believe she'll choose to be with you just because of personality, while you're being shallow and going after looks, you're kidding yourself.
I'm in that age range and dating someone as old as you...neither of us were looking to date that old/young but it just happened. The love is there to stay and we will probably get married in the future..we've been together for some time now.
The attraction wasn't purly physical, most of if was actually mental/spiritual. We just fit and it works...
There are women who date older, and who don't care about age if the love is there. Not all young women date older men for money (I HATE that stereotype) and now all older men date younger women for arm candy..
Something to remember: if you date for shallow reasons, you will find a shallow person. If you can find someone you are attracted to who you genuinely love and care for, the age gap won't be a huge deal.
*NOT all older men..."now" was a typo..

What Guys Said 10
Women in their 20's have very low interest in men in their 40's.
At 30, some are more open to it.
At 36 or so, they'd consider 42 a pretty 'normal' age.
That's what they'd say anyway. If your game/attractiveness are very high you'll do better. From what you say your success in the field is not really bearing that out.
If you're thinking that you're inexperienced for your age and would hence do better with a younger woman, good luck. Young women who LIKE older men like them because they are established, confident and know what they want and what they're doing. An inexperienced older guy is basically a less attractive version of an inexperienced younger guy.
tells you something about actual interest, rather then theoretical.
damn those statistics made me feel like have no time left
No my cousins are 36 -38 in they want date guys pass 40 . They like them in their 30's or younger
Thanks for sharing the article.
I think you were the only one saying you were a weird pervert, which is telling. lol j/k bro.
Personally I don't think it matters as much if the man is older because all he really needs to do is provide sperm and money to raise a family these days. For a woman it matters because her ability to reproduce is a narrower window.
Have an opinion?

The University of Sydney charges an application processing fee (APF) for applications from international students. This fee is A$100 (in Australian dollars), and is non-refundable. Some students are exempt from the fee (see Exemptions below).
You need to pay the APF at the same time as you make your application. The University cannot process your application until it receives this payment
How can I pay the fee?
You can pay the APF by credit card (MasterCard or Visa), by completing the secure online credit card payment stage at the end of the online application form.
You will be granted an exemption from the application processing fee if you are:
- currently enrolled in a University of Sydney course
- a current applicant at the University of Sydney – for example if you already have an application underway, and you wish to change your preferred course or commencement semester
- a sponsored student – for example, a recipient of an Australian Development Scholarship (AusAID) or another Full Tuition Fee scholarship (if so, your application needs to include a letter confirming this)

Re: Wynton Marsalis
Matt, I would bet a lot of that 50 million dollars went to constructing that building. But the money will come back over time. It's big business. It's an investment. One could question the legitimacy of having jazz at Lincoln Center to begin with. Opera and the classical music have always been funded by the aristocracy, and expressed their concerns. But jazz has been a populist art form. Who owns jazz these days?:)
Wynton did an album with Willie Nelson. I think he's trying to show he can be hip in many ways. We've had the discussion here time and again. Jazzers often feel uncomfortable with their populist past, and often players have been uncomfortable with their populist present. It does get frustrating to hear musicians incessantly degrade popular music. One can enjoy Jay Z as much as Boulez, and one can also get pretty tired of either one of them pretty quick. It's always exciting to me when composers can find a bridge between worlds. Copland and Bernstein were able to do that. There hasn't been a populist classical composer since Bernstein passed. No one came up to fill his shoes. I think Philip Glass tried; but once he started rewriting the same piece over and over again . . . That is really the tragedy of American music, and why that happened I don't know. Was it public funding of the arts? Was it over-commercializing of the arts? Was it just no one had any talent? There is a lot of mediocre talent that gets very far with hard work. I think that is the lesson of contemporary music.
I can see that the funding is a problem. Doris Duke used to present a lot of nice free concerts. But now they don't any more. I wasn't aware that it is because their funding is diverted to JALC, I thought it was the economy. Though it makes sense; they were doing free concerts at NYPL in Lincoln Center.
I would also agree that you can hear a major change in the composition of music, even since the establishment of JALC at Columbus Circle. It seems many of the younger are writing in a more conservative style. One of the things I do like is that you often hear a N'Orleans style of writing, and of course a renewed interest in history. I am one of those guys who sits in the middle. I don't mind it. I am patient. I've been waiting for something major to happen my whole adult life.
One can fight against the current. But that is the direction the wind is blowing. It will probably be that the better art will come out of those who struggle against the grain.

Private schools participating in Louisiana's new voucher program for low-income students will have to clear roughly the same academic bar that public schools do in order to keep accepting taxpayer dollars, according to a new accountability plan proposed by the state's top education official.
State Superintendent John White will ask the state board of Elementary and Secondary Education, or BESE, to incorporate his plan into formal board policy at a special meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
The plan, posted online Monday morning, will come as a relief to groups lobbying for stricter accountability, worried that private schools will be able to draw on state coffers without showing they can do a better job of educating disadvantaged students than their public counterparts.
The voucher program, one component of a broader education overhaul led by Gov. Bobby Jindal this spring, is open to any student from a low-income family slated to attend a public school rated C or below. It's based on a pilot program that's been operating in New Orleans since 2008without requiring schools involved to hit any particular academic benchmarks.
Beginning this coming school year, if White's plan is put in place, private schools accepting an average of more than 10 voucher students per grade, or a total of 40 assigned to grades in which students take standardized exams, will have to earn a performance score of at least 50 in order to keep taking additional students in subsequent years. The scores, derived from exam results and other factors, will be based on the new 150-point scale used for grading public schools in Louisiana, which is slated to replace a more complicated 200-point system this year. Public schools that score below a 50 will be labeled "failing" and face being taken over by the state if they can't improve results.

How to Overcome Depersonalization
Depersonalization is a dissociative symptom in which a person experiences a loss of the normal sense of personal identity and reality. It is a common but often misdiagnosed symptom, and many people who have experienced it don't know what it is or are unsure whether they have it. However, those who have experienced depersonalization often find themselves worrying about the symptoms. Luckily, there is an easy way to overcome depersonalization.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Be aware of yourself. Defeating depersonalization is a lot like becoming lucid during a dream. That is, it requires you realise your surroundings and your consciousness. Simply thinking "I'm here" or "I'm awake" as a mantra can really help 'awaken' from depersonalization.
2Build healthy relationships and avoid stressing out too much. Stress seems to dramatically increase the effects of depersonalization.
3Avoid drugs. Many drugs, especially marijuana, have been shown to exacerbate depersonalization. An important thing to remember about drugs like marijuana is state dependent memory: The glowing experiences you remember from the drug might not necessarily have been how you really felt at the time.
4Check with your doctor to see if it's a medical problem.
We could really use your help!
- Stay calm. Your mind needs time and rest to overcome Depersonalization and worrying or stressing about it will only make your symptoms worse.
- Don't expect people without it to understand your situation. Just as the sun never sees shadows, they will never see what it is like to become a shadow.
- Drugs and people don't usually help this disorder, they can only act as starting points. You are the only person who can help themselves out of this state.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
USF is committed to your success. We offer a comprehensive menu of academic support services to all students called Law+Plus Program.
Law+Plus Program
Zief 004/005
(415) 422-2820
(415) 422-2906Email Us
There are three faculty directors who focus specifically on academic support at the law school. Co-Director Carol Wilson oversees the Academic Support Program (ASP), Co-Director Rodney Fong is focused on workshops and programs for all students in their first year and in their final year/post-gradation (for the Bar), and Co-Director Richard Sakai works primarily with students who have been identified as needing extra assistance after their first year of study. The combined services of the three directors fall within the umbrella of the PLUS Program.
All first-year students have the opportunity to attend workshops throughout the school year focused on relevant 1L topics including case reading and briefing, classroom dynamics, note-taking, time management, legal analysis, course outlining, exam taking and time and stress management. Directors are also available to meet individually with students.
In addition, a consulting tutor will be available to all students for each substantive class throughout the first year. The tutor will attend the substantive class and hold office hours to answer questions and provide individual tutoring as needed. The tutor will also work with a program director to design and run special sessions for problem analysis and law explanation as the semester proceeds. Individual counseling and tutoring is available for all 1L students depending on need.

The penthouse was a maze of dead-end corridors when this ad agency took it over. We organized the circulation along a central spine, emphasized by office doors that slide on a single track. Office hierarchies are expressed by graduated partition heights. Above 8'-0", we retained the industrial character of the space, but muted the exposed pipes and beams by painting them out white. The reception area is defined by a security wall of clear glass and privacy panels of etched glass.

Biggy update at 11 PM:
Awful. Bridgestone Arena must be cured or something. According to MLive's Ansar Khan, Jimmy Howard left after 11:22 of play due to an "upper body injury," and Cory Emmerton's still getting stitched up after taking a puck in the face...and the Wings may or may not have lost Mikael Samuelsson to what may or may not be a broken hand.

and while nothing's broken, scratch that, Fox Sports Detroit is reporting that Samuelsson's left hand may be broken after taking a slapper from Ian White, and that he's going to have x-rays tomorrow, Samuelsson's not going to play tonight vs. Nashville:

Red Wings-Predators game-day updates: Kindl to play for Wings, Gaustad out for Predators
by George Malik on 02/19/13 at 02:02 PM ET
Comments (12)
Updated 9x with game day videos at 7:16 PM: As Paul already noted, the Red Wings received something of "cold comfort" in finding out that Minnesota Wild forward Devin Setoguchi was fined $8,108.11 for the "high stick" which yielded 20+ stitches for Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey during Sunday's loss to Minnesota...
And as the Red Wings prepare to face off against the Nashville Predators tonight (8 PM EST, FSD/FS Tennessee/1270 AM), we're actually going to start off with news from the opposing team as Fox Sports Tennessee's John Manasso reports that the Predators will play without Paul Gaustad this evening...

97.1's Jeff Riger speaks with Red Wings legend Nicklas Lidstrom
by George Malik on 02/19/13 at 12:54 PM ET
Comments (1)
97.1 the Ticket's Jeff Riger spoke with former Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom at this past weekend's SportsFest, and he'd posted both a portion of the interview in text form and five minutes' worth of discussion with Lidstrom as audio:
Question: How does the defense look with without you being a part of it?
Nicklas Lidstrom: "I think it's hard to replace two top four defenseman. Both (Brad) Stuart and I had a lot of experience and it's hard to ask a young player to come in and play those kinds of minutes and have the experience to play against all the other guys in the league. It's a learning curve for the defenseman too. We added some new guys from other teams and they have to adjust to our system, to new players and a new coach and I think that takes time."
Question: What's your advice to Henrik Zetterberg about being a captain?

Red Wings-Predators set-up and overnight report: Hello again, Nashville
by George Malik on 02/19/13 at 04:35 AM ET
Comments (3)
The Detroit Red Wings have a particularly stiff test on their hands as they begin a two-games-in-a-week slate against the Nashville Predators (8 PM EST, Fox Sports Detroit/FS Tennessee/AM 1270, and the Wings welcome the Predators to the Joe on Saturday) this evening. The Wings will be facing the team that bested them last April while attempting to rebound from losses against St. Louis (technically an OT loss), Anaheim and Minnesota with an 0-for-the-road power play, no Johan Franzen (or Todd Bertuzzi, or Darren Helm, or Brendan Smith, or Carlo Colaiacovo, but Jonas Gustavsson's healthy and Jan Mursak has recovered from his shoulder injury)...
And the currently 9th place Wings, who sit three points behind the Predators (19 points to 16 points) in the Central Division standings, will be facing a particularly pissed off opponent this evening. The 5-2-and-3-for-February Predators have lost two straight games, dropping a 3-2 shootout decision to Anaheim on Saturday and a 6-5 loss in Colorado on Monday that was marred by one of the worst non-called off-sides goals I've seen since the 2009 Stanley Cup Final. Via Puck Daddy and Hockey WebCaster on YouTube, here's Avs winger Matt Duchene, offsides by a mile:

Red Wings evening news: Power play tweaks, Tootoo returns to Nashville and say no to Jay Bouwmeester
by George Malik on 02/18/13 at 08:01 PM ET
Comments (9)
Updated 2x at 8:16 PM: Paul's already let us know that Devin Setoguchi will be speaking to the NHL's "Department of Player Safety" about his high stick on Kyle Quincey (Per the NHL and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Michel Russo, and Russo believes that there might be a fine in the offing, but no suspension given that Setoguchi got a double minor for the 20+ stitches his cross-check-high-stick yielded), so, as I was regrettably out of the office on an epic grocery sun, let's add some text to this afternoon's crop of Tweets from the Red Wings' practice in Nashville.
The Free Press's Helene St. James reports that the Wings spent a significant amount of time working on their horrific power play while the "Fathers and Mentors" watched, and there's good news on the injury front as well going into tomorrow night's game against Nashville (and the Predators dropped a 6-5 decision to Colorado on Monday afternoon, in Denver, so they're going to be agitated tomorrow)...
It was a big day for forward Jan Mursak, who was cleared to play and taken off injured reserve, where he landed after hurting his collarbone on opening night. Coach Mike Babcock said he wasn't sure if he'll change the lineup, but he did rule out the possibility of having forward Johan Franzen, who has missed three games because of a sore hip flexor. Besides Mursak, the healthy choices are Patrick Eaves and defenseman Jakub Kindl.
The Wings are seeking stop a three-game winless streak and to halt some bad habits, such as blowing leads. They were up, 2-0, at Minnesota on Sunday, then couldn't recover after making a couple of mistakes that led to three straight goals by the Wild. It didn't help the Wings that they had three power plays, as they dropped to 0-for-six games with the man advantage on the road. They're at 13.6% overall, 25th in the NHL.

In theory, it certainly seemed like a match made in heaven – the world's leading cat behaviorist and the world's craziest cat.
In reality, however, things turned out differently for Jackson Galaxy, host of the Animal Planet show My Cat From Hell, and a 22-lb. feline named Lux, who made headlines around the planet in March when he allegedly flipped out on his owners, forcing them to call 911 for help.
"In the 20 years I've been doing this, I've never met a cat like Lux," Galaxy tells PEOPLE of his time spent trying to help the troubled feline, which viewers can see in an episode airing on Saturday, June 14. "I can say without hesitation that Lux is the most complicated character I think I've ever dealt with."
Galaxy traveled up to Portland, Oregon, three times following the 911 incident, working with the couple – and Lux – after they agreed not to relinquish the cat to an animal shelter. In the months that followed, he tried to get to the bottom of what led to Lux's freak out, which started when he clawed the couple's infant son after the tyke yanked his tail.
"The kid was bleeding," says Jackson. "So the father tried to kick Lux and he became Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and suddenly started menacing everybody. The family ended up barricading themselves in the bathroom and calls 911. You can hear the cat howling in the background during the call."
In an attempt to try and better understand the normally mild-mannered Lux, Jackson had vets perform brain scans and an MRI on the animal, and examine his blood. "I left no stone unturned, but I never actually saw his crazy side. He's normally the sweetest cat in the world."
Over the past five seasons of his show, Galaxy has always been able to solve the behavioral problems of those felines whose "guardians," as he calls them, turn to him for help. But with Lux, he admits, it was different.
"This episode ended with a beautiful red bow that was promptly set on fire," Galaxy laughs. "My ego took a huge beating. I've worked with thousands of cats, but he truly stands out as an enigma."
To see more of Lux's story, watch My Cat From Hell on Saturday, June 14 at 8 p.m. ET on Animal Planet.

|Natalie-Marie Hart
She has interviewed big league activists like Rosa Koire (Behind the Green Mask: UN Agenda 21), investigative author Jim Marrs, Mario Ambrosini (MP, South Africa), musicians, child activists and many more - no topic seems off limits as she is incredibly well-read. She's an old soul who outshines a lot of people's intelligence, but thinks with her heart. She's a dedicated info-activist while currently homeschooling in Canada. Oh yeah...and she only just recently turned 13!
Have you heard of her? Natalie-Marie Hart of Crystal Light Kids Radio asked me on her show that she single-handedly produces. It appeals to both kids and adults - a children's network tackling world issues. She books her own guests, writes her questions, does her own editing, recording, posting and she even edits her guests' pictures for her YouTube vids.
We talked about the problems in both Canada and US facing food freedom and the assault on small farms - but the topics didn't stop there. You will not believe the material we covered in one hour (read more below). Listen to her version of Charlotte's Web if it was rewritten for today.
She asked a variety of thought-provoking questions that led to topics like:
- Corruption, force, and freedom.
- Increase of chronic disease, Lyme disease, and what does the increase of gastrointestinal disorders correlate with?
- The Cancer Industry, vaccine-injuries and healthy steps to take as an adult recovering from them, the Western-med paradigm.
- Monsanto suing farmers and taking over the world.
- What's with the bees - where did they go?
- Jury nullification and useful activism.
- What do you think of traditional foods? Are you a rebel who eats fat? Are you thriving as a vegan? Why does the UN want everyone to eat bugs?
- History repeating itself - speaking of history - What do you think of public school versus unschooling? If you're an adult can you still "unschool" yourself?
- If "me"-centered, tolerance, and anti-bullying are heavily taught in schools, then why are issues of low-self worth and bullying increasing?
It's encouraging to hear the hope that comes from this sweet, bright young person who believes the best and fights the good fight. She is a graceful, captivating speaker. Also incredible to see many more kids and teens tackling the heady, complex issues Natalie-Marie does. And taking them on with poise, courage, humility, and heart.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 28, 2004 "It's been a very good day" was Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's response today as NATO leaders here agreed to support the Iraqi government's request for help in training its security and police forces.
The agreement came just as the Coalition Provisional Authority transferred sovereignty to the Iraqis in Baghdad two days earlier than scheduled.
Rumsfeld issued his upbeat response as the 26 heads of state and government participating in the NATO Istanbul Summit here declared "full support" for the new sovereign interim government in Iraq.
"We are united in our support for the Iraqi people and offer full cooperation to the new sovereign interim government as it seeks to strengthen internal security and prepare the way to national elections in 2005," they said in their prepared statement.
The leaders called for an immediate end to terrorist attacks they said threaten not only Iraq, but also the entire region, and agreed to help train Iraq's security forces. Details of how the training will be offered have yet to be worked out, a senior NATO official told reporters here today.
The decision on Iraq was among several key initiatives agreed to during the opening hours of the two-day summit that underscore NATO's expanding global role.
Leaders in the alliance agreed to bolster the size of its peacekeeping force in Afghanistan from 6,500 to 10,000 troops to help ensure the security of the upcoming September national elections, the NATO official announced.
This move includes assuming responsibility for five provincial reconstruction teams over an area covering nine provinces in the north and western parts of Afghanistan.
NATO leaders also agreed to terminate the Stabilization Force in Bosnia by the year's end, transferring the mission to the European Union. "The decision to end NATO's nine-year mission in Bosnia marks its success in ending the war and keeping the peace in that country," they agreed.
But the NATO official told reporters the transfer doesn't mean an end to NATO's presence in Bosnia-Herzegovina. NATO will maintain a presence in the country to promote defense reforms and counter-terrorism efforts and to continue tracking down war criminals, he said.
Also in the Balkans, NATO will maintain a "continuing robust KFOR presence" in Kosovo, he said. KFOR is the Kosovo peacekeeping force.
The NATO leaders at the summit also agreed today to the so-called "Istanbul Declaration" that renews their commitment to collective defense and to work together to counter security challenges the alliance members face.
These threats, they acknowledged, "emanate from a far wider area than in the past," including terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
"NATO is engaged in fighting terrorism, strengthening security and building stability in many regions in the world," the leaders agreed, noting that unity within the alliance remains "essential" and the principle of indivisibility of allied security, "fundamental."
They vowed to stand up to these new threats through military operations and activities, by engaging with partners and by transforming NATO's military capabilities to meet the changing strategic environment.
During his opening comments today, NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said decisions made in Istanbul "will reinforce the vital transatlantic link that our alliance embodies" while enhancing NATO's partnership with countries across Europe and into Central Asia and build new bridges to the Mediterranean and Middle East.
The summit's agenda, he said, "demonstrates just how central NATO has become to ensuring our common security
"And it reflects the reality of transatlantic cooperation in NATO today: America and Europe united in a strong alliance committed to defend and to promote our common values and shared interests in the Euro-Atlantic area and beyond," he said.
