I have to agree with FCL. You said your having fun like old times, which is all well and good and i think we can all agree that it is important to have an open relationship with your Dr.
And you have "convinced" yourself that there is nothing there. But does your subconscious believe that? And in regards to your ED...are you ready to go and then when she pops into your head you deflate? Sorry for the harsh term couldnt think of anything else. Do you talk to your counciler about her? That would be the person i would be opening up to about this women and not her herself. I know you both say there is nothing there, but our subconscious is a very strong and powerful thing...your subconscious might not want to leave her, because of the off chance that she could be the one and if you keep opening up to her, she could realize that she is with the wrong person. Your conciler should be the one handling these issues, not your PCP. One she is not really qualified to handle these cases and she is speaking to you more as a friend than a doctor. I am pretty sure your counciler would have some different advice and probably tell you to find another PCP. Like FCL said, you have tried everything else but that and yet you are still having these issues.
I understand that this is all speculation, but you can tell yourself one thing and believe another. You are a smart guy D and you deserve the best.

Thank you for clarifying. You seem to have a really open relationship with her and you can tell her anything. Have you mentioned to her about your issue of thinking of her before you are intimate with a woman?
Another thing is do you feel guilty for telling her how you felt? or guilty because you missed out on "the one". As you said it does get easier to see her as time goes on, which is a good thing. But like you mentioned 4 or 5 times can seem like too much . My point being because you feel like you missed out, do you think of her right before sex, because you wish it was her?
If you do feel any guilt what so ever, you need to forgive yourself, you didnt do anything any other warm blooded male would have done. One of the things I have been working on is when i am with a woman, to try to stay in the moment. I try to focus so much on staying up to the job so to speak, that i totally lose sight of what is really happening. I psyche myself out and i dont pay attention to the woman im with or how amazing it feels.
Completely, off topic and you can answer if you wish...but you said at no point that you felt like your exwife was the love of your life...why get married? And could there be any resentment issues stemming from that, that could be clouding your brain?
Best of Luck

I can relate to what you are saying on a few levels, but mostly the performance issue. And honestly it is still something i struggle with to this day...which is not an easy pill to swallow, but im working on it.
In one of your reposts, you said you haven't asked her any personal questions, so i would assume that you have just have brief conversations? Considering she is your PCP, a simple solution would be to find another doctor, out of sight out of mind. I am not ignoring how you feel when you look at her, most us have been there, i know i have. But if you dont know anything "personal" about her, the relationship is purely physical at this moment and perhaps even a fantasy. Considering you discovered she was married and you have good morals not to be a home wrecker, know your not going to persue anything with her, bu you still find her attractive and what normal guy doesnt fantasize about that sexy lady he saw at the store, or where ever.
You also mentioned that she has a hard time looking you in the eye, coming from someone who is very shy and i have issues looking people in the eye. So, is there a possibility that she finds you attractive and she cannot look at you directly for fear of getting caught, of course. Or, maybe she sees the way you look at her and she can sense some sort of attraction and she doesnt want to mislead you, because she is married? And since she is a doctor, whom is very caring, loving person, perhaps this has happened before and this is what type of action she took before to help cut those ties.
I am going to ask you something very personal and if you dont feel comfortable answering on here, i completely understand. But if you dont answer, id really like you to think about this question. Being divorced myself, i experienced a long long time of loneliness and heartbreak, she was the "love" of my life, or so i thought. I think it's fair to say at one point or another you thought that of your ex as well...and guess what you got over her, you're dating again!
But during those times of lonliness, how did you take care of your "primal" urges? For me it was manual stimulation, which is all well and good and perfectly natural. Please understand i am not trying to pass judgement or label you in anyway, this is just my own personal experience...and it has taken a lot of therapy to become this comfortable with it lol. I confided in pornography to make everything happen. But eventually because of how depressed i was, that was the only time i felt happy or when i was drowning my sorrows. So those moments got branded in my brain as "happy" time, so when ever i got down or upset, i'd go to a happy place and block out all of those awful feelings or thoughts. I'm pretty sure Dr. Phelps could back me up on this, certain parts of the brain, begin to rewire themselves and change, so much to the point that my entire perception of intamacy had changed. The long and short of it is, i became addicted to it and i still am, but i am trying to get better everyday.
That is the main reason i mentioned any sort of fantasy, we have seen the movies with the sexy nurse/doctor. My thought is that is what is getting attached in your brain and your trying to keep that fantasy alive and when your with another women, she isnt fulfilling that fantasy that you have created. And certain parts of your brain are attached to that fantasy and they aren't releasing the appropriate hormones during foreplay/sex and your mind gets bored, even though you might be completely tuned into the woman your with.
Like I said, i was in no way trying to accuse or label you of having my issues, i just wanted to relate something that i am dealing with, in hopes it may cause you to look at the situation differently.
Remember, men are from mars, women are from venus...just because we think we know what they might be thinking, we really have no clue!

I agree that not all "red flags" are deal breakers and some of them are. In the past I did not notice some red flags until it was too late, but what that has lead to now is me having a tendency to overanalyze the situation. Which, if you know me, thats never a good thing Mainly because what ever the issue might be, i always find a way to assign the blame on myself, which i know is completely unfair.
I might not have explained myself well enough earlier, in regards to her being a bad communicator. The issue was communication entirely, I was the one who was always reaching out to her. When we were/are around each other, we didn't have any issues communicating. It was when we were apart, so not returning a phone call or a text message. That was the red flag that she was no longer interested in me. I had the feeling she was not, but I couldn't get my heart/mind out of the equation. I kept making excuses as to why she wasnt talking to me.
Then a couple weeks ago, I got the closure that i needed, i saw her out with her new b/f. Talk about awkward, it was a brief hello, followed by a minor attempt at banter. The usual, how have you been etc. Nothing but one word answers and she didnt even introduce me to her b/f...she introduced him to her other friends. I really didn't care, but I was hurt over the situation.
Thanks for your input, as always!

Recently, I was casually dating someone, if you want to call it that...i did post about this earlier, so if you read that, sorry . We both had agreed that we were both attracted to each other and we had fun on the date that we went on, we had fun and agreed to do it again. We run in the same social circle, so we saw each other on occasion. We both work goofy hours so getting together is not always easy. But eventually the conversations became very one sided, either i was initiating them...or she was only talking about herself. Dont get me wrong, buzzers and sirens where going off like crazy in my head. But yet because i was so physically attracted to her, i couldnt pull away. Although every fiber of my being told me so, along with my therapist. All I needed to hear was that she was no longer interested or that we should just remain friends and that would have been enough to severe the ties. Fortunately for me, i was able to run into her, while she was with her new b/f..so that was enough to get the point across.
I guess my point is this, we all have our flaws and short comings, but we need to be able to accept them as part of who we are. When we meet someone who is willing to accept them as well, you can begin to build a meaningful relationship. If we are always stepping on eggshells or afraid to speak up for ourselves, nothing is going to change. You should be able to speak your mind and if it hurts your partners feelings, GOOD! It shows that they love you enough to care and you can always make up afterwords.

As a guy, I'd love to say that I understand what women are thinking...if that were the case id be a millionaire. But the truth is we interpret situations completely differently. We think differently and we comprehend differently. A woman can ask a guy to do something, with the most clear directions/instructions and odds are he will screw it up, my half assing something.
So be blunt, yet kind.
best of luck!

You say that you love him so much, but yet the only reason you gave was he was really attractive. If that is your only criteria, you need to reevaluate. I am not saying that you dont deserve an attractive guy, but if thats all your hangingo onto, you should probably let go. From what you mentioned, I would venture a guess that you in reality are more "in love" with his family, because they care about you. That's great an all, but if your (ex?)boyfriend doesnt feel the love or return it, its not really worth your time.
And going thru his phone, then getting mad that he put passwords on everything??? I dont blame him, we all need our own personal space. If in fact he is sleeping around behind your back, do you honestly think he is going to stop? He wont, he will continue to do it, to you and whom everelse he dates. He said he feels like you treat him like "sh*&", sending him cards and buying him things are nice, but not respecting his privacy and snooping around on what he is doing, is like treating him like a child.
So if a couple that has been married for 20 years can get divorced and start over, so can you. Your relationship has been on and off for 3 years and if he is in the military, he probably was station somewhere else or even deployed over seas. Your best bet is to move on, if he has caused you this much heartache in that short of time, just imagine if you spent the rest of your life together? He isnt going to change and you wont be able to fully trust him. So just end it now, deal with the heartbreak and start over in 6 months.
You have made it this far in life so it is fair to say that you are a strong individual, you will make it past this. Just keep your head up and you'll find the right guy who will treat you right and im pretty sure once you meet him, you will forget about your (ex?)boyfriend.
Best of luck!

I can completely relate to this topic. In past relationships, all of them actually now that i think about it, i have lost myself or my way. I have mentioned this before in other posts as well. The reason for myself personally losing myself, is because I didnt and still am not 100% sure of who "I" really am. For me its a constant struggle, because I never really gained a voice. I just went about my business and went with the flow. Even most of my hobbies are because another person influenced me to try them. There wasnt a whole lot of self discovery about myself, i just adapted to what other people did and made it my own. Looking back and knowing what i know now about depression, the connections started to go off like fireworks. So for me, not allowing myself to explore different things and just mimic what others did to find excitement, i never found what really excites me. As i got older and began dating that was my excitement, the initial rush of falling in love, etc. But as that wore off, i didnt know where to go from there, thus leading to a boring, complacent relationship, which ultimately would end.
As I am trying discover myself and I have gotten older, I am finding it to be even more difficult now than ever. Mostly because i make excuses, I dont have the time, the money or anyone to do those things with. I know there are groups out there who focus primarily on just that, but emotionally and mentally, I am not ready to throw myself to a group of strangers.
ICView Thread
I will try my best to put this information to good use. As you know the biggest step, is getting out of my own way and allowing myself to take risks emotionally. I just need to get used to stepping outside of my comfort zone.
ICView Thread
After some thought I do agree that it is a fear of rejection, given that is something I have struggled with for a long long time. And it is this fear of rejection that has lead to my belief that I am not good enough, for anyone, myself included. And looking back at all my past relationships, i have always put their needs ahead of mine, because i was afraid to lose them.
As for the nonassertiveness I would have to say the reason for that again would be the fear of rejection or having a fight. And the fight leading to the end of a relationship, so i would just cave to make them happy and me miserible. Again this isnt just a one time thing, it has happened in every relationship I have been involved in. Perhaps the term Vicious Cycle should make an appearance.
Thanks for your input!

Who is MotoE and how they can help riders?

Who is MotoE and How Can They Help You?
We have started to feature weekly health and fitness/training advice from the good folks over at MotoE…so we thought it would be a good time for you to get to know a little about them and why you should listen to their advice!
We met up with Robb Beams (AKA Coach Robb) and asked him to fill us in on all the new goings-on at MotoE….
rmx: Coach Robb, tell us a little about the MotoE training facilities.
MotoE: We recently signed a contract with CrossRut Rider Development in Hazelhurst Georgia to provide the MotoE Complete Training Solutions Training & Nutritional Program. Riders receive "on the bike" training programs from the on-site riding coach and receive a weekly schedule and conference calls with a MotoE Staff member to discuss nutrition, hydration, flexibility, endurance, strength training, injury prevention and mental development skills.
We are currently negotiating with tracks in Florida, California and looking for a facility in Texas. If you know of any interested facility in Texas, please have them contact me directly. Our goal is to have a MotoE Performance Program associated with one high quality track per state by the end of 2013.
rmx: Why did you start MotoE?
MotoE: I have been developing the Complete Racing Solutions Training & Nutritional Program over the last 15 years as an extension of my Complete Training & Nutritional Solutions Program that I started while I was in college.
I have personally been involved with motocross since 1978 but became involved under the Toyota TMX Moving Forward Program. I am one of the sport's biggest fans and just want to provide riders the truth about speed, endurance, nutrition and injury prevention.
rmx: What's your background in our sport?
MotoE: I grew up racing BMX at the national level and had the privilege to ride for a few teams. I finished my BMX racing career with the IBMXF World Championships ranked 8th in the world. Shortly after, I went to college to study computer science, business management and exercise physiology. While I was in college I was on the junior development team for the sport of triathlon until I got hit by a car and had to have my knee operated on – once you get hurt like that, your chances are all but done.
After graduating, I contemplated continuing my education and pursue a career in medicine, but I wanted to pursue a career as a triathlon professional. I started coaching on the side to help pay the bills; however, the business side grew very quickly and I stepped away from the racing career to develop the Coach Robb Complete Training Solutions Program.
Currently the Coach Robb program has four business segments: endurance, speed & agility, motocross and weight loss. This year will be my 24 year of coaching – the time has flown by to say the least.
rmx: What can a rider expect from your Coach Robb training programs?
MotoE: A simple, yet effective program to build speed, endurance and eliminate injuries. All of my performance elements come directly from the Olympic Training Center and feedback from human performance specialists from around the world – not someone's "flavor of the month" ideas.
Human performance has gotten so confusing due to ex-mechanics and riders declaring they are human performance professionals, they don't know the truth about nutrition, strength and conditioning. They throw around a few elements and create nothing but confusion for the parents and the riders. With our programs each rider will develop a personalized performance program relevant to nutrition, hydration, speed, endurance, flexibility along with a mental development program. All of these program elements are interrelated – not independent of one another.
When a rider says that they are getting tired at the end of a moto, it isn't always an issue about endurance – it can be a hydration or nutritional issue. Anyone who thinks that human performance has to be difficult hasn't seen our programs. On our program, each rider is instructed what to eat, when and how much.
Each rider is instructed how long and how hard to train on the track along with off of the track to eliminate any weaknesses (speed, endurance, etc.). Sure there are some "new" words to get accustomed to, but with a little patience and dedication each rider will become fitter and faster. We have the championships to back it up!
rmx: Who have you trained in the past, any notable riders?
MotoE: Yes for sure, anyone familiar with our sport will recognize many of the names on this list.
Adam Cianciarulo – trained him to 2 amateur championships
Ashley Fiolek – trained her to 2 Championships
Broc Tickle – trained him to a west coast SX Championship
Charlie Mullins – trained him to a 2011 GNCC Championship
Ian Trettle – trained him to multiple national championships
Jordan Bailey – training him for 2012 national championships for Thor & Scott Racing
Jon Jon Ames – training him for 2012 national championships for JGR Racing
Kyle Chisolm – trained him up to his professional career
Jeremy Martin – trained him while he was on 85's
And many more that were are not allowed to mention!!
rmx: What are the 3 key ingredients to your training program?
1. Program is designed around your race schedule and goals
2. Program is customized to identify and eliminate any weaknesses in a racing program
3. Program provides the rider with all of the tools to maintain top level performance results (sweat calculator, heart rate zone spreadsheets, body analysis spreadsheets, etc.)
rmx: What can a rider expect to learn/improve and how long will it take?
MotoE: Each rider will learn what, when and how much to eat and drink for optimum performance. Additionally, each rider will learn where their weaknesses are on the track and how to eliminate them to perform at an optimum level every week. The process is ongoing – I have some riders that I have worked with for 10 years.
As the rider improves, so does the development of strength, endurance, nutrition, hydration and flexibility – not to mention the mental side of the equation. Improvement is never ending as long as the rider is healthy (without illness or injury).
rmx: What are the top 5 things riders will learn from your virtual program?
1. How to train smart, not hard.
2. How hard to train on and off of the track – cross training
3. How to eat for speed on the track and optimum recovery after each training session or race
4. How to evaluate if the body is absorbing the training efforts being put in
5. Complete performance program that is specific to the racer's needs
rmx: Who is the program right for and who is it wrong for?
Right – anyone who is willing to dedicate the time to learn and apply the principles provided. The program outlines everything that needs to be done from warm up to cool down; exactly what needs to be eaten and what muscles need to be stretched afterwards (there is even a video link to show you!)
Wrong – anyone who thinks that performing at an elite level means purchasing bigger motors and stiffer suspension. It takes a fit individual to run top of the line equipment, our riders are able to ride their equipment to its fullest potential. If you are not open to "learning how to become fit" please don't contact us.
rmx: Anything else you want to add?
MotoE: I love what you have created here at realMotocross – the sport needed this exact information. Great job and we look forward to helping all your members as much as possible.

Pipe Dreamer: The Female Welder Who Rocked Peru
Maria Landa knows her way around a blowtorch. The Peruvian is one of her country's few female welders and just the person to call when you need to install a jet engine.
On the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, TakePart salutes Maria for her hard work and groundbreaking achievements.
Being a woman welder has not been easy for Maria. She was scoffed at, denied loans and told that starting one, let alone three, welding companies in Peru was just female craziness.
Instead of retreating, Maria fought to learn her craft and build her businesses, seeking the support of CARE, the worldwide poverty-fighting, humanitarian aid organization.
Aside from being a woman, Maria tells TakePart that the most difficult obstacle in starting her first business was overcoming the economic recession.
She says, "I struggled a lot to survive...but this did not discourage me because I clearly knew what I wanted. I wanted to be a businesswoman. I wanted to grow and develop as a person without limits. I wanted to be free."
Maria also never forgot the message of her high-school philosophy teacher, Esther Jara Quispe: "Women could do everything from mechanics to poetry."
Esther Jara Quispe often told Maria that before being male or female, people should be recognized as human beings.
"She's a great inspiration to me," says Maria. "Her actions and ideas have been with me all these years."
Maria's skills have come in handy for people needing everything from windows and doors to emergency shelters.
In 2007, a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Peru, and CARE reached out to Maria for help.
She and her team worked around the clock to build 1,000 temporary homes for residents displaced by the disaster. She also welded 100 tent frames for classrooms so the children could resume their studies.
Helping the victims meant a lot to Maria, and the care she took constructing the homes did not go unnoticed. "The victims who received tents expressed deep gratitude for the prompt support and solidarity at a time of tragedy," she says.
Maria currently has seven female welders on her team, and hopes to empower many more women in Peru. To any young girls wondering what path to take in their lives, she says: "Fight for your dreams... Make your own growth, and help leave a better life for other women."
Maria is one of CARE's mythbusters—female heroes who are busting old myths—lies like "Women can't be trusted with money" and "A woman's place is in the home."

In addition to probable expansions on "Boyhood" (300 theatres this week), "Magic in the Moonlight" and "A Most Wanted Man", new indie releases this week include Brendan Gleeson and Chris O'Dowd in the Ireland-set drama "Calvary" and the James Franco-directed drama "Child of God".
"The Guard" remains one of my favorite "little" movies of the past few years and now director John Michael McDonagh and Brendan Gleeson re-team for "Calvary", a black comedy/drama about a beloved Irish priest (is there any other kind?) whose life begins to crumble after hearing a deadly confession. "The Guard" netted a respectable $5.3 million back in 2011 and anything approaching that would be a boon for Fox Searchlight.
Day-and-date limited theatrical/GooglePlus VOD release plan on director Tim Garrick's "Behaving Badly", starring Selena Gomez, Nat Wolff, Mary-Louise Parker and Elisabeth Shue.
James Franco does double duty as both director and co-star in the ultra heavy drama "Child of God", starring Scott Haze as a reclusive (and very creepy) Tennessee mountain man . Franco and Tim Blake Nelson co-star. VOD availability in October.
In addition, look for expansions on IFC's "Boyhood", which will bring its total up to 300 locations this Friday, Sony Classics' "Magic in the Moonlight" (additional cities) and "A Most Wanted Man", which will get up to 750 locations this Friday.

The Original Rachel's Tomb Building
The Story Of Rachel Emeinu (Our Mother)
Of places in the world, the Holy Land portrays G-d's glory to Man. And of all the saintly people who walked the Holy Land, the Rachel Emeinu (Our Mother) portrays the glory of man to G-d. What is so special about Rachel? If you are familiar with the Bible, you already know most of the story.
The Bible declares that Jewish Patriarch Isaac was old and unable to see. In order to bestow blessings upon his first-born son, Isaac orders Esau to hunt and prepare venison. However, Rebecca realizes that Jacob truly deserves those blessings, not Esau. She prepares food and dresses Jacob in the clothes of his older brother Esau. After querying his son, Isaac eats the meal that Rebecca has made and blesses Jacob.
Esau returns from hunting and learns that Jacob has taken "his" blessings. Outraged, he vows to kill his younger brother in revenge. Rebecca learns of his plans and commands Jacob to flee to her brother Laban in Haran, where he should take a wife. Jacob does as he is told and escapes to Haran. There, he meets and falls in love with Laban's daughter Rachel. Jacob serves Laban for seven years to earn the right to marry Rachel. However at the last moment, Laban deceives Jacob into marrying Leah. Jacob then must work another seven years for Rachel.
On the surface, it sounds as if Laban has tricked Rachel and Jacob. However, Jewish tradition teaches us differently. Preconditioned by years of Laban's deceptions, Jacob and Rochel prepare signs to identify each other within the silent darkness of the marriage tent. When the time comes, Rachel sees her father escorting Leah to the wedding tent. Knowing that her sister's identity would be quickly discovered, Rachel gives Leah the signs so that she wouldn't be humiliated.
It was a supreme act of selflessness. And what was Rachel's "reward"?
Rachel sees her sister in the arms of the one that she loves. She watches Leah give birth to one son after another, while she remains childless. She pleads with her husband for children only to be told in his frustration that, "G-d has withheld children from you, and not me." Eventually, her prayers are answered and she gives birth to a son, Yosef. However, her joy is not complete and she prayers for another son. G-d answers her prayers. However, the birth of Binyomin is accompanied by her own death. Finally, she is buried "on the road to Efrat -- now Bethlehem." (Genesis 35:16-21) Even in her death, Rachel must remain apart from her husband, who will eventually rest in Hebron with Leah.
Rachel's life was tragic. Yet throughout her suffering, Rachel remained absolutely faithful to G-d above and to her children here in this world below. In fact, the sages state that Jacob buried Rachel on the roadside so that she could pray for them as they were being led into Exile, as Jeremiah 31:14-16 states, "Rachel, weeping for her children, she refuses to be comforted for her children who are gone. Thus said G-d: 'Restrain your voice from weeping, your eyes from shedding tears for there is reward for your labor' declares G-d. 'They shall return from the enemy's land and there is hope for the future' declares G-d: 'Your children shall return to their own country.'

Atheist Stocking
Celebrate The Facts Around The Holidays With Atheist Stockings
Atheism is becoming more and more popular as the years go by. In the age of the internet, facts are too hard to ignore and the holes in many religion�s stories become larger. Atheists are often painted to be evil individuals with no ruler or overseer in their lives. That�s probably what they like about atheism in the first place but they aren�t evil. They like to celebrate the season of giving and who doesn�t like all the festivities that go on? The non-religious aren�t heartless, just practical. This is why an atheist stocking isn�t a complete abomination of any religious celebration, just a kind hearted joke.
Give This Stocking To An Atheist You Love
Atheists are rarely silent about their beliefs. The realization to forego religion and become an atheist often comes from a very meaningful realization about independence. This is why every atheist who receives this stocking is sure to hang it over their fireplace. A fireplace filled with hell fire no doubt, but don�t remind them of that, they�re fine with it and probably aren�t looking for any input.

I had no idea I was any sort of Jewish until I did my genealogy and family research. Being adopted and raised as a Christian, it was the last thing on my mind. But, I always felt a bond and desire to reach out to Israel. Just so you know, I may have some in me but I am also Cherokee, Irish, Dutch, Scottish and my roots go back to Barvaria. My faith is Christian with deep acknowledgement of Jewish faith and tradition. I Love learning about why we do certain things and what words, scriptures and other biblical things represent. That being said, I'm not perfect and far from a judgmental person.
If you were mine, I'd love to make you feel amazing every moment that I'm with you. Kiss you good morning, make your breakfast, make love to you, spill your coffee for kisses, make you late for work,....very late and welcome you home with sex and dinner, wash your back and dry you off and make us both dirty again, lol. make love all over and wake you for more. Love to kiss your neck and down your back, massage your body...all of it. But you'd have to be all mine. someone as beautiful as you deserves the best.
Think on this....My man is the one that melts my heart and heals my wounds. Holds me when I'm broken and lets me go when I'm at my best to be what I'm good at.. He's the one I'd die for and live for and breathe for. I'd defend his pride as he defends my honor and there's nobody that can tell me anything about him because I'd know him better within my soul.So, if that's what you want and need then we should talk because I am tired of being alone and used in between by liars and cheats. I'd make a life change for the right man.
As far as what I do for a living, I am a cashier at a Shell gas station and work 10-6am. I also am writer. I have some poetry published online and I am working on a book that some screenwriters are interested in. I love kids, animals and being with someone who honors me and smiles at me whenever he gets a chance.

Hate crime figures - Truly unbelievable
Maria Cramerâs examination of the implausibly low hate crime figures for Massachusetts communities highlights a pervasive and systematic problem in measuring acts of violence and vandalism motivated by bias and intolerance related to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. However, the troubling portrayal of undercounting reflects only half the story. The reporting problems in Massachusetts may be bad, but they are far worse elsewhere.
Cramer focused almost exclusively on differences in hate crime reporting among cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Yet, even with the apparent lack of compliance among many jurisdictions statewide, Massachusetts still ranks high among the states around the country -- 9th highest nationally in terms of reported hate crimes per 100,000 population. In 2009, the rate for Massachusetts (5.05) was more than twice the national average (2.37). This, of course, begs the question: how badly would our state rank if the reporting levels were more consistent with reality?
Ever since the awful days of violence and disorder prompted by forced busing in order to desegregate city schools, Boston has struggled to shed its ugly reputation for racism. And, although our state has been singularly progressive in recognizing same-sex marriage, the potential for backlash always exists when breaking down barriers.
Before jumping to conclusions, consider where some other states rank nationally. The three states that sit at the very bottom, with the lowest reported rates of hate crime, are Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama! This fact alone suggests that the FBIâs hate crime report, mandated by Congressional act in 1990, may not worth the cyberspace in which it resides.
Comparing the official police reports to estimates from victim surveys further illustrates how unreliable hate crime measurement can be. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, almost 200,000 Americans are victimized annually by hate crimes, of which nearly half are reported to the police. Yet, according to the FBI, the number of incidents submitted by law enforcement around the country is less than 10,000 annually. Although the victimization counts are likely inflated (as some victims may falsely impute bias motivation), the FBI hate crime reports are clearly suspect. At best, they may be used to track trends for a particular jurisdiction; but even then, changes in investigative practices can significantly alter the figures.
When the FBIâs Uniform Crime Reporting program was established 80 years ago, it was decided wisely to base the measurement of crime levels on those offenses that are most easily discernible. The original seven so-called Part I crimes (homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft) are relatively clear when or soon after they are reported to the police.
Then In 1979, Congress mandated that arson be added as a Part I crime, expecting that such a designation would bring needed attention to the growing scourge of profit-motivated fire setting. However, the arson data have been exceptionally unreliable. The determination that a fire resulted from arson requires some investigation. If and when such a determination is made, the monthly crime tally may have already been submitted.
Similarly, the determination that a reported crime involves a bias motivation comes only after investigation. The time lag and sometimes ambiguous interpretation of motive renders these statistics exceptionally unreliable and inaccurate. If anything, high levels of hate crime may be a positive, reflecting diligence in identifying and combating this insidious crime as opposed to ignoring it.
Sadly, it seems clear that there is far too much hate crime to go around. What shows up in the FBIâs hate crime data depends on how diligently and thoroughly police departments investigate and diligently they report.

Scottish Transport Minister urges fellow Scots to leave the car at home in 2012
Scots encouraged to cycle, walk and use public transport - but opposition say he should set example himself
Previous News
Next News
Scotland's Transport Minister, Keith Brown, is urging his fellow Scots to leave the car at home and embrace alternatives such as cycling, walking and public transport in the New Year.
The SNP politician, who represents Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, made the call in his New Year Message, published on the Scottish Government website.
However, Mr Brown has been accused of "breathtaking hypocrisy" by Labour's transport spokeswoman Elaine Murray.
She says that Scotland's active travel budget had been cut from £25.1 million in 2011/12 to £13.9 million in 2014/15, reports the Evening Times.
Mr Brown opened his message by saying, "Many of us rely on our cars to get about. Personally, my car acts as a mobile office, allowing me to catch up on work in between engagements in a way I wouldn't be able to using other means of transport.
"However, I know that there are journeys I make where I could leave the car at home and often I feel the benefit of doing so.
"We have some of the most stunning scenery in the world right on our doorstep and you really see the best of it if you take a train journey or get out on your bike. Even in our cities, you are never far from some countryside or the sea and you just don't see the best of it sitting in your car.
After outlining public transport options such as train, bus and coach services as well as ferries linking island communities with the mainland, Mr Brown turned his attention to outlining ways in which he claims the Scottish Government is encouraging people to take to bicycles to get around.
"Cycling in Scotland is more accessible than ever and a great way to get some exercise without having to fit a gym session into your day.
"We are investing in infrastructure such as cycle paths and cycle lanes, as well as campaigns aimed at raising driver awareness of cyclists, all of which is making cycling safer.
"We are also trying to encourage children to get involved in cycling from an early age with our cycle training in primary schools programme.
"I took part in Pedal for Scotland back in September and was impressed that 14,000 people turned out for this great even, a sign that cycling is growing in popularity.
"Finally," concluded the minister, "the most sustainable mode of transport of all is your feet! Short journeys can often be made on foot and walking is a great way to stay active, clear your head and reduce your carbon footprint all at once.
"We are fortunate in Scotland to have a range of transport options available to us and I would encourage people to explore more of these in 2012."
However, Ms Murray said that Mr Brown should himself seek to set an example to others.
"If we are serious about cutting our carbon emissions and making 10% of trips by 2020 by bike, we must make walking and cycling become a more convenient, attractive and realistic choice for short journeys," she maintained.
"Keith Brown should make 2012 the year he starts practising what he preaches and he gets out his petrol-guzzling ministerial limo and on his bike."
As much as its a great idea on paper, I already cycle and use the bus, BUT i would much prefer to use a car/motorbike instead of the bus as its SO expensive and takes to long, 2 hours to travel 40 miles and charged £16 for it.
They did put up all these posters offering cyclists free bike bags to put your bike on the bus, i thought, yes, i'll have one of them, got in touch with one of the local drivers as it said to do, he happens to be a friend, but he informed me that the package which was supposed to come out to my village with all the bags was opened in the big depot in Aberdeen and all the drivers there took them, i later saw lots of them on Ebay, nice work

I work for a health board that is supposed to promote public transport, but Websense blocks access to Bus and Train timetables on the internet at work
The cycle to work scheme was oversubscribed in our organisation within 2 hours of being opened in November, I wonder how soon it would have been up to capacity if launched in January. merry Christmas to all those kids that got bikes subsidised by this scheme. Funny how the number of bikes chained up has not increased.
Bitter... you bet.
The whole thing is a joke, spin and rhetoric

Re commuting by bus, for 47yrs I have either commuted by bike or lived at my workplace, apart from 6mths using motorcycle (very cold)and 6mths by car (boring). The bus was never an option, always slower than the bike and of course cost more than the bike. I was lucky enough to never live too far from my place of work. Now that I am retired and have a bus pass I am never off the buses, but still put in a lot more miles on the bike .
Re Cycle to work scheme, I used to sell bikes, customers would often try to get bikes for the children with vouchers, some times it was just too obvious to let through, on one occasion a lady was very annoyed at my refusal to supply 2 x bmx's, after some discussion we settled on a bike her husband "could also ride". The worst case was a guy who wanted sat nav for his motor so that he could avoid all those speed traps

County Court Judgment (CCJs)
Lenders generally use the information from credit reporting agencies to determine the risk of a borrower when he/she applies for credit. Credit cards are essential in today's society and when managed well are a great tool, but when mismanaged can cause tremendous financial hardship. A County Court Judgment, CCJ may be the end result of mismanaged credit card usage. A court can issue this action when a creditor makes the case that an unpaid debt is past due.
A CCJ can remain on one's credit record for as long as six years even after the debt is paid in full. In order to determine if a CCJ remortgage is possible, there are certain lenders who will take into consideration an individual's particular circumstances. County Court Judgment (CCJs) Information can aid a borrower in deciding if it is even worth pursuing a CCJ.
A lender may make a determination whether or not a borrower can repay the loan, if he is convinced that there have been extenuating circumstances, which caused the CCJ to be issued. County Court judgments are essential in determining the creditworthiness of businesses and individuals.
The majority of consumers goes into debt to deal with short-term financial needs and are keenly aware that maintaining a high credit score will increase their chances of getting future loans quickly. County Court judgments or CCJ's are legal remands handed down by County Courts. CCJ's help to resolve many different areas in civil law such as personal injury, repayment of debt, breach of contract with respect to goods or property, family matters and housing disputes.
Information Concerning Country Court Judgment (CCJs)
A CCJ of default is noted on the credit reporting record of the borrower:
• If the borrower defaults on any unsecured debts.
• If the borrower discards debt collection attempts.
Specific details about the judgment will be entered on the Register of County Court Judgments if it is determined that you have physically received an order to pay the outstanding balance figure of the money owed. These entries can remain on the Register for six years. However, if a business or individual named in the CCJ settles the debt in full within a month of the rendered judgment, the registration may be cancelled.
Financial debt issues should be handled quickly and with seriousness in order to mitigate any future serious debt problems. Seeking free personal debt management counseling can help tremendously if a borrower finds it difficult to deal with compounding debts. A team of experienced financial experts can provide professional advice to ease your mind and help you overcome debt issues in a systematic way.
Financial experts offer the following simple suggestions to deal with debts more effectively: 1) make regular timely payments, 2) consolidate many outstanding debts into one single loan and 3) regularly review credit records to maintain a high credit score.

Get the justice—and compensation— you deserve
When you or a loved one are injured, Insurance companies know how to make it difficult to receive the compensation you are entitled to. Their lawyers have developed sophisticated legal techniques designed to deny you the resources you need to help put your life back together. Too many times, insurance companies get away with it because people – especially injured people – don't have the strength or resources to fight them.
Trantolo & Trantolo thinks that is simply wrong.
Every member of our firm believes that people and companies should be held accountable for the injury and harm they cause. We've dedicated our time and talent to developing strategies to beat the insurance companies at their own game—not to punish them, but to see you get justice. We believe that people are more important than profit. We hold insurance companies to their "promise to pay." After all, that's what an insurance policy is: a promise to pay when bad things happen.

Treating Powdery Mildew
Improving the air flow around the infected plant will also help with the powdery mildew problem.
Have you seen signs of early summer problems already popping up due to the strange weather this year?
I've not had powdery mildew problems here due to my full sun location...but, neem oil works better than anything else I've tried to keep Japanese Beetles off of roses. The smell...well...it's a choice between putting up with that during the JB invasion or having the roses eaten up.ReplyDelete
We have some powdery mildew here and there...ReplyDelete
I'll have to give your suggestion a try. I have, with very limited success, used a baking soda solution with regular dish soap, and Tea Tree oil (also reputed to be a fungicide).
To be honest powdery mildew has wiped out my previous cukes, squash and zucchini plants.
Dear Dave how are you !
I have heard of the baking soda recipe but I didn't know you could use neem oil .. so I will keep that in mind when those darn beetles start driving me crazy (er!)
PS .. I just saw Dawn's suggestion of tea tree oil .. now there is another idea to try !
I hadn't heard of using the neem oil for this before. I will be back if I need this recipe this summer.ReplyDelete
I've been battling lots of powdery mildew this spring/summer. I've even had to start spraying two of my roses with fungicide, they were hit so badly. I hope the combination of baking soda and neem works! I've heard most people have only limited success with baking soda.ReplyDelete
Using the combination of neem oil and baking soda is one of the best method to get rid of powdery mildew. Its one of those solutions that don't affect the life of the plants.

So, I like experimenting with foods in general and I thought I would share an interesting thing with the people here.By combining Tapioca Maltodextrin and a fat like Peanut Butter or Nutella you can turn these items into a powder. When they are in a powder you can mix them with other powders, sprinkle them on things or maybe just be able to store and handle them in different ways.You can find Tapioca Maltodextrin powder at your larger Asian grocer or online.Use a 60/40 ration of the Tapioca Maltodextrin to fat containing food. Blend it in a small food processor. Add more Maltodextrin as needed.You can also do this with things like Olive Oil.Nutella Powder is really good. It's amazing that when you eat it it feels just like out of the jar.
http://www.gourmet.com/food/video/2008/05/goldfarb_tapiocamaltodextrinI'm intrigued! I googled up this link of a movie... wow.
If you have a magic bullet or even a spare coffee grinder it's faster that doing it by hand. An interesting thing about Tapioca Maltodextrin is that it's not sweet and is generally flavorless, but its has sugar like calories (4 per gram) and it a good thickener. It would be good for adding to DIY dehydrated savory meals to give them more body or thicken them and give good low glycemic index calories. It would also be good for energy drinks if you like to make your own, but don't like them too sweet. You can get non flavored instantized protein powder then mix with Tapioca Maltodextrin for a good protein and carb base with low sweetness. You can then add whatever you need to taste. Since Tapioca Maltodextrin is soluble is cold water it would be very easy to make your own nutella protein drink mix. Mmm.

I watched the video and googled more info about the tapioca maltodextrin and it looks really interesting. My first question would be regarding the shelf life of the peanut butter or nutella powder. Since the t/m absorbs the fat(oil?) how long will it "keep" in a ziplock on the trail? Any experience with this?
Keep as in spoilage or keep as in stay a powder?Spoilage is going to depend on heat and other things. Oxygen is not your friend with oil spoilage. That said I don't think you would have any issues with veg based fat for trips less than 30 days. Even over that its not going to hurt you. It might just not taste as fresh.You have to keep the powder air tight because Tapioca Maltodextrin in water soluble and will likely attract moisture. You wouldn't want to carry it in an open bag in Florida in August. Depending on how much powder you used to transform your fat it might clump up in the bag, but you can break it back up manually.
Does it miraculously make the stuff lighter?Can you melt it back into a goo? velveeta dip mmmmmmm.....and what the heck do the asians do with it????

>Does it miraculously make the stuff lighter?.No.>Can you melt it back into a goo?.When you add water the Maltrodextrin will disolve and leave you with a slurry that wont be exactly like the original. It might be better. Try it and let us know :).> and what the heck do the asians do with it????.Asians and us non-Asians use it as a thickener for sauces and soups etc. It can also be used in baking.
That sounds like a good way to transport messy, calorie rich foods in a less messy fashion. Very interesting!
I've been experimenting with this technique for quite some time. It's quite fun. I've made nutella powder, almond butter powder, olive oil powder and cashew butter powder. Eric is right, it doesn't make it lighter but it does make it easier to deal with. The nutella powder was yummy sprinkled on oatmeal too. Basically anything that is high fat will do. I was fortunate that the company that makes these products was nice enough to send me a complimentary mixed case of all kinds of this sort of stuff (they know I am working on a mainstream cookbook so I think that is why they did that). Just a note of interest... tapioca maltodexterin is in many things like hot chocolate powder and such. It keeps powdered items from caking.

Social Security Numbers:
Use Is Widespread and Protections Vary
GAO-04-768T: Published: Jun 15, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 15, 2004.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 1936, the Social Security Administration (SSA) established the Social Security number (SSN) to track workers' earnings for social security benefit purposes. Today, private and public sector entities frequently ask individuals for SSNs in order to conduct their businesses and sometimes to comply with federal laws. Although uses of SSNs can be beneficial to the public, SSNs are also a key piece of information in creating false identities either for financial misuse or for assuming an individual's identity. The retention of SSNs in the public and private sectors can create opportunities for identity theft. In addition, the aggregation of personal information, such as SSNs, in large corporate databases, as well as the public display of SSNs in various records accessed by the public, may provide criminals the opportunity to easily obtain this personal information. Given the heightened awareness of identity crimes, this testimony focuses on describing (1) how private sector entities obtain, use, and protect SSNs, and (2) public sector uses and protections of SSNs.
Private sector entities rely extensively on SSNs. We reported early this year that entities such as information resellers, consumer reporting agencies , and health care organizations routinely obtain SSNs from their business clients and public sources, such as government records that can be displayed to the public. These entities then use SSNs for various purposes, such as to verify individual's identity or match existing records, and have come to rely on the SSN as an identifier, which helps then determine a person's identity for the purpose of providing the services they offer. There is no single federal law that regulates the overall use or restricts the disclosure of SSNs by private sector entities. However, certain federal laws have helped to place restrictions on the disclosures of personal information private sector entities are allowed to make to their customers, and certain states have enacted laws to restrict the private sector's use of SSNs. Public sector entities also extensively use SSNs. All three levels of government use the SSN to comply with certain federal laws and regulations, as well as for their own purposes. These agencies rely on the SSN to manage records, verify benefit eligibility, collect outstanding debt, and conduct research and program evaluations. Despite their widespread reliance on and use of SSNs, government agencies are taking steps to safeguard the SSN. For example, some agencies are not using the SSN as the primary identification number. However, given the open nature of certain government records, SSNs appear in records displayed to the public such as documents that record financial transactions or court documents. Current GAO work under way for this subcommittee is focusing on the storage, display, and protection of SSNs in public records. Our preliminary survey data show that the types of records most likely to contain SSNs and be made available to the general public by state government entities are court records, death records, Uniform Commercial Code filings, and professional licensing records. In addition, our preliminary data suggest that responding state offices reported over 35 instances where they had no specific use for collecting SSNs. In a previous report, we proposed that Congress consider developing a unified approach to safeguarding SSNs used in all levels of government and particularly those displayed in public records, and we continue to believe that this approach has merit.

ESRL Global Systems Division
Science On a Sphere® Takes Center Stage at World Science Festival
From Wednesday, May 28 through Sunday, June 1 NOAA's Science On a Sphere® (SOS) was a feature attraction at the World Science Festival (WSF) held in New York City and at New York University (NYU). The World Science Festival is a production of the Science Festival Foundation, a non-profit organization headquartered in New York City. The Foundation's mission is to "cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future."
There were many speakers who used SOS to do scientific talks and question/answer sessions with scientists. Saturday and Sunday featured a full schedule of varied talks from "Take Cover! Extreme Weather and Forecasting" to "Cooking on an Exoplanet" to "Anthropocene - Visualizing Humans as the Dominant Forces of Change on the Planet." Attendees and participants were able to see our home planet as never before, projected and animated on a giant suspended globe that is NOAA's SOS. They watched dramatic weather unleash furious historic storms, saw special spherical movies about space, tsunamis, and the water cycle, and met scientists who study our climate. There were both general public hours and an invitation-only program for schools.
The school program, suggested for grades three through five, called "What Goes Around Comes Around: Oceans, Atmosphere and Weather - School Excursions," was a joint effort of NYU's Courant Institute and NOAA. They teamed up with WSF to teach students how weather systems are created. The program was led by the Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL)/Global Systems Division's (GSD) Hilary Peddicord. She coached the students to engage firsthand with scientists for a hands-on learning experience.
In addition, on Wednesday, May 28, SOS was used as a backdrop for The Weather Channel's "Wake Up with Al", with NBC weatherman Al Roker. Further, an SOS display was also the backdrop for The Weather Channel during Sam Champion's segments on their flagship morning show.
SOS is a large visualization system that uses computers and video projectors to display animated data onto the outside of a sphere. It was invented by current ESRL Director Dr. Sandy MacDonald in 1995 when he came up with the concept for SOS (in his garage using a beach ball painted white and a 35mm slide projector) as an outgrowth of other visualization projects that he was directing within the former Forecast Systems Laboratory. Since that time, SOS has become an important part of educational programs in 109 museums and science centers in 16 countries. The SOS Program is administratively managed and technically supported by the ESRL/GSD/Technology Outreach Branch.
Audiences around the world express excitement when they first see the rare view of the planet that an SOS presentation provides. As visualized on SOS, the Earth isn't sliced and spread out like it is on a flat map and it doesn't have rods poking through the poles like a globe. SOS displays a high-resolution view of Earth and other spherical bodies in our solar system that replicate what can be seen or sensed from satellites or modeled by supercomputers.
Researchers at NOAA/ESRL continue to develop and advance SOS as an educational tool to help illustrate Earth system science to people of all ages. Animated images of atmospheric storms, climate change, and ocean temperature can be shown on the sphere, illustrating complex environmental processes in a way that is simultaneously intuitive and captivating. Using an iPad app, SOS presenters are able to effortlessly display, annotate, zoom, and layer the more than 450 data sets that are available for SOS.
SOS is a NOAA/ESRL program that has developed a revolutionary system for educating the public on the holistic nature of Earth's ever-changing oceans, atmosphere, and land, and on other planets. NOAA's global science is presented on SOS in new and exciting ways by providing engaging three-dimensional representations of our planet and others as if the viewers were looking at them from outer space. Through informal educational programs in science centers, universities, and museums across the country and globally, NOAA's educational program goals are extended through SOS by increasing the public understanding of our environment, knowledge of the Earth's land, oceans, and atmosphere, and knowledge of other bodies in our solar system.
