The Hills Recap: "Something Has to Change"
Back to normal. After Sunday night's special airing of "Boys Make Girls Cry" to hype the MTV VMAs, The Hills returned to its normal time slot Monday.
The lead story: Brody Jenner in jail.
Back to normal. After Sunday night's special airing of "Boys Make Girls Cry" to hype the MTV VMAs, The Hills returned to its normal time slot Monday.
The lead story: Brody Jenner in jail.
Fans of The Hills know that Spencer Pratt has some in-law drama of his own (see Montag, Holly - more on that later today), but someone's got it worse.
Seen here at Sunday's MTV VMAs, the reality TV villain found a bit of common ground with Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz - and let him know about it:
MTV sucks.
Sorry, but it's true. First, with no notice, they decide to air a new episode of The Hills as a special, Sunday-night lead-in for the VMAs. Hella weak.
You knew it was coming.
Reportedly miffed that John McCain chose a woman (Sarah Palin) for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination whose name is not Heidi Montag, The Hills' villain you love to hate has launched a last-ditch, third-party campaign for President.
On last night's episode of The Hills, Lauren Conrad started to think things with Doug Reinhardt is fizzling out. We saw that coming big time.
Not because of the show. Just because in real life, Lauren Conrad and Doug Reinhardt were inseparable for like three weeks, then he went MIA.
Face, that is. As well as in the figurative sense, of course.
Really, who can blame Spencer Pratt for his inability to keep his hands (or mouth) off of Heidi Montag? Sure, she has no original body parts left, or any talent to speak. But dating her has allowed him to make millions!
Just in case you thought the 10-minute, '80s aerobics-themed music video for "Overdosin'" was the most absurd Heidi Montag news you'd read this week, The Hollywood Gossip is here to inform you that you're very much mistaken.
That was before we got ahold of a sneak peak at their video game. Yes. When she and Spencer Pratt were talking about making one, they were serious!
Or, as Lauren Conrad says of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, in a line not at all fed to her by executive producer Adam DiVello, "I don't know if it follows them as much as they chase it." So profound, LC. So profound.
On the second episode of The Hills' 4th season, Stephanie Pratt invites Lauren Conrad to her birthday party. That sounds well and good, until we learn Spencer and Heidi are gonna roll, too. Great ready for hectic drama!

Mobile learning is on the rise, and consequently, so is the need for mobile connectivity.
As districts across the country debate the boundaries of social media in the class room, Missouri took an unprecedented step by passing the first statewide law banning teachers from individual communication with their students on social networks.
While tablet computers like the iPad get more attention, eBook readers—comparatively simpler devices designed specifically for reading electronic versions of books, magazines and newspapers—are currently selling in greater numbers and at a faster rate than tablets.
According to a recent study, 43 percent of students feel unprepared to use technology in college and work life. SOURCE: e Education Development Center and Nellie Mae Education Foundation
In 2008 for the first time, laptops outsold desktops. In 2010 for the first time, smartphones outsold laptops.
Administrators shouldn't only look outside their districts for something new when researching possible products or technology to purchase; solutions can sometimes be found in unexpected places.
To the more than 600 million members of Facebook and the expanding legions of Twitter users, you can add a growing number of schools and districts.
Some technology experts, including Will Richardson, a well-known social media blogger, say that social media has some value right now, but it's just a first step.
The Common Core State Standards are bringing some changes to curricula across the country—but not just in the classroom.
Make no mistake: 2015 is the year in which each and every student in America's K12 public school system will have a mobile device to use for curricular purposes, 24/7.
School administrators are faced with a wide variety of choices and a huge market when it comes to products and technology.
The Universal Service Administration Company (USAC) officially announced to the FCC on July 13 that it has identified additional monies to fund FY 2010 E-rate Priority 2 (internal connections and basic maintenance of internal connections) requests at the 80 percent discou

Dierks Bentley to Headline Orpheuscapade Mardi Gras Parade
Dierks Bentley will head south come spring.
Dierks Bentley will head south come spring.
Some of the best country albums of 2014 have come from country's most popular hitmakers, including Dierks Bentley and everyone's favorite outlaw, Eric Church.
It turns out that Dierks Bentley doesn't really mind if you throw up on his stage.
Dierks Bentley is nominated for a total of five big awards at the 2014 CMA Awards, but he remembers a time when it wasn't that easy for him to find his name in lights during Country Music's Biggest Night.
Two of the most nominated artists at the 2014 CMA Awards learned they were winners before the show even started. Dierks Bentley has won the Music Video of the Year award, while Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert took Musical Event of the Year.
What a great concert! Dierks Bentley and Eric Paslay at the Adams Center was a hoot.
We are ready to party before the Dierks concert! Join us for great specials and a chance to go backstage with Eric Paslay or Dierks at this pre-party.
Trucks and guitars are typically exchanged after a major country tour wraps up (Miranda Lambert bought Carrie Underwood a motorcycle after she recorded 'Somethin' Bad). But Dierks Bentley takes the prize for most creative, unusual and potentially dangerous thank you gift.
Dierks Bentley is bringing one of the hottest shows of the fall to Missoula on Oct. 11th find out exactly when you can win tickets with Billy and Charene.
Dierks Bentley is coming to see us if you haven't heard! We have multiple ways for you to win tickets...and even backstage passes.
To say Dierks Bentley has a generous heart is an understatement. After all, there aren't many country stars who would hand a guitar over to a 6-year-old kid during a live concert ... but Bentley did just that.
Get ready western Montana! We are proud to announce another boot stompin good time this fall. Dierks Bentley's "Riser" tour is set to make a stop in Missoula this October. With special guest Eric Paslay.

The North London Reading Group is an independent network of book groups in and around North London.
We began in June 2007 as a single group of ten like minded souls, which met monthly to discuss something meatier than the then ubiquitous freesheets.
Many of those freesheets have now gone. But we've since bloomed into a network of 20 groups and get together at fab literary gatherings such as Bookstock. More...
Nothing comes close to our love of books. Well, apart from perhaps a good gin and tonic. So join our literary gin tour on Saturday 24 October to celebrate that most bookish of all drinks.
Our second social of the year is this Tues 12 May. Join us at the Star of Kings in Kings Cross from 6:45 PM for some drinks and socialising with fellow book-heads on a school night.
Already this year, a number of our Groups have chosen to read "The Miniaturist" by Jessie Burton. What did they think?
Happy new year! The NLRG is awakening from a bit of a slumber (cursed day jobs etc). But we'll be springing back to life for a social night on 10 Feb for both existing and prospective members.

First of all, this isn't 4 star hotel (at least not according to my idea and experience).
It looks like some poorly renovated hotel from 70's (which I was told it isn't, it was built some 5-10 years ago).
The location is not great, but during my stay the hotel was used mainly for business conferences. You will need to get a cab to get to the city, on the other hand, the surrounding are is great for jogging and walking (even swimming - in the lake!)
The staff is very polite and nice, the restaurant was ok but the breakfasts were bad.

Green Bay Packers' Cedric Benson Performing Gigs in Strip Clubs as "DJ World Peace"
Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson is currently on the injured reserve list after he suffered a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot in the team's 30-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 7. However, Benson has stayed active by playing gigs using the handle "DJ World Peace" around the Austin, Texas area.
Benson grew up in Midland, Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin. He still currently resides in the Austin area, which explains why he is also performing various gigs around the city. Benson has apparently stuck mostly to performing in night clubs with his last show coming at The Madison on Nov. 11. However, "DJ World Peace" was also featured at the Yellow Rose gentlemen's club in Austin on Nov. 6. Benson was there to DJ the Pre-Formula 1 Race Day Celebration.
Even though what Benson does in his free time is none of the Packers business as long as it is legal, I have to imagine the organization was not happy once they found out their starting running back was spinning turn tables at a strip club.
Benson is eligible to return to the starting lineup in two weeks during Green Bay's Week 14 showdown with the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. However, the Packers were recently informed that Benson could still undergo surgery, which would force him to miss the rest of the season. League rules state that a player on injured reserve can return to practice in six weeks, but cannot suit up for a game until eight weeks have passed.
In five games this season, Benson has 71 rushing attempts for 248 yards and one touchdown. If the 29-year-old is unable to return this season it is unclear what his future in the NFL holds as several teams passed on signing him this past summer. On the other hand, at least Benson has a prominent career as "DJ World Peace".
For anyone in the Austin, Texas area looking for a DJ, make sure to check out Benson's site here.

Britain dropped its bid to to get Tony Blair, the former UK prime minister, appointed to the presidency earlier in the day after it became clear that centre-right countries, who dominate the EU, were determined that the role should go to someone from their group."When it became clear that because of the various political considerations and varying views among the rest of the members, then the prime minister made the forceful step of proposing Catherine Ashton for the high representative's position," a spokesman for Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, said.Presidential roleThursday's debate over the appointments had focused over what role the president of the European Council should play, with many arguing that the role should go to a technocrat who can build unity and consensus.
"The Lisbon Treaty wanted to instill greater continuity and coherence into the European Council of Heads of State and Government," Van Rompuy said.
"Six-monthly [rotating] presidencies had the advantage of involving all 27 member states in the work of the Union. The disadvantage was a lack of perspective, it is my firm intention to ensure that our work develops over a long-term period."Van Rompuy will serve a two-and-a-half year term, which is renewable once.Glyn Ford, a former Labour member of the European parliament, told Al Jazeera that building a political presence in Europe was one of the challenges a new president would face.
"Europe is bigger than the United States, its richer than the United States, it gives more to the developing world than the United States by far. But we don't actually have the political presence," he said.
"Now how do you develop that political presence?"Consensus-builderVan Rompuy told the news conference that he recognised that Europe faced sizeable challenges, including the financial crisis and climate change, and emphasised his credentials as a consensus-builder.
"I think there were many names on the shortlist that fitted the job description a bit better [than Ashton] and I am afraid that this is one more case in which horse-trading has prevailed"
Marco Incerti, Centre for European Policy Studies
"As president-elect of the council I will listen carefully to everyone and I will ensure that our deliberations turn into results for everyone."
Marco Incerti, a research fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies, told Al Jazeera that the appointments marked a missed opportunity for the European Union.
"Because it had been known for some time that Mr Van Rompuy would be appointed as president of the European Council people were hoping that for the foreign minister job we would get somebody a bit better known," he said.
"There is nothing wrong with Catherine Ashton herself, but she lacks international experience.
"For a post like that of foreign minister of the European Union having been in a comparable job for some time, having built networks ... could have been useful.
"I think there were many names on the shortlist that fitted the job description a bit better and I am afraid that this is one more case in which horse-trading has prevailed. It was matter of giving the position to a Socialist in turn of the president of the council to the centre-right."Powerful nationsAshton, who has a reputation as an effective negotiator in Brussels, revealed her surprise at being appointed when she told the news conference that she had no prepared speech, but also asked people to wait to see how she performs."Judge me on what I do and I think you will be pleased and proud of me," she said.Leila Talani, a lecturer on European politics at King's College London, said that the appointments showed the power of the European Union's big nations.
'The European Council is an intergovernmental institution and it is governed by the most powerful members states ... the most powerful are France and Germany, and to a certain extent the UK.
"I would consider it [the UK] one of the winners of these negotiations as they have got perhaps the most important position with the foreign minister."

"That is a lot of jellyfish," I say nervously. I'm standing barefoot on the dive platform of a ship, a pair of long, blue flippers in my hand. The surface of the ocean before me appears full of purple jellyfish, each about the size of a tennis ball.

How in the World Do You Sample a Whale? | Karen
It's early morning onboard the small research boat Coda, and we already are a few miles offshore. Coda is a "RHIB," a rigid-hulled inflatable boat. It looks like any other RHIB, with the addition of a giant metal Pinocchio nose- Coda's professionally MacGyvered bowsprit (which is the bit sticking off the front of a boat) is an elevated, caged platform. This modified bowsprit design is used the world over in small-boat field research; it generally keeps researchers from falling overboard while sampling whales.

Listening to Whales: Hydrophones, Headphones, and Singers in the Sea | Karen
Whales live in a world full of sound. The ocean was a noisy place even before humans started making a ruckus underwater with boat engines, blasting, construction, drilling, and seismic air gun noise; surf smashes against the beach, underwater volcanoes erupt, wind kicks up foamy white-capped waves, fish grunt, shrimp snap, dolphins click and whistle, and the list goes on. In the midst of all this racket, male humpback whales are trying to stage a romantic serenade.

Panoramic Ireland's Long Exposure Photography Workshops
Winter is wonderful in Ireland
An early morning photography workshop is one of the best ways to see Dublin Bay.
Learn how to make an image like this. Ask us today.
An evening photography workshop is a great way to see Dublin.
Archaeology, the remains from Ireland's inhabitants in ancient times is ever present.
Wild Wicklow is colourful all year, where better for a photo tour?
Ireland's West. The last refuge where land meets ocean.
Welcome to panoramicireland.com! We run one-to-one and small group photography tours and workshops in Dublin and across Ireland. From the chief city on the island to the charming mediaeval gem that is Kilkenny City and the stunning geological landscapes of Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast or the lesser visited South Armagh.
If you want to take a Photo Tour in Dublin or anywhere in Ireland then Contact Us to book now - prices from €45 for small group tours and €135 for private photo tours!
Enjoy the site, have a look at the blog, which has some write ups of photo tours in Ireland and articles about some of the counties that Panoramic Ireland visits.
We also contribute to Untapped Cities, read more here and The Culture Trip.
Learn to take better images, learn new techniques and enjoy the challenge with our one-to-one photography workshops.

Summer in Ireland. It wasn't really tangible in 2015.
Most places in Ireland recorded a wetter, duller and colder summer (June, July and August) than usual.
This evening's image shows the level of water in the lake during a colourful and characterful sunset in the west of Ireland. Rainy at sunset, unlike this last sunset but with the same colours.
After a busy week I can now appreciate the crepuscles and with a rainy few days the sun finally made a brief appearance below the cloud base just before sunset in the west of Ireland.
The lower sky was illuminated with hues of orange and red while the top remained blue and evening-like both portions reflecting in the calm waters of the lake, windless and magical.
What is a photo tour and is it different to a photography workshop? This is a question we get asked a lot. There is no real difference but simply, a tour is more focused on seeing the place with a photographic emphasis while a workshop is specifically designed to concentrate on one or more aspects of your photographic technique, equipment or composition. Both tour and workshop are interchangeable and there is a degree of overlap.
Because we tailor each tour to suit your needs, we choose the appropriate locations and times to maximise your time in Ireland and help you to improve your photography.
If you would like to know more about our photography workshops in Ireland please contact us here and join an Irish photographer for a day in your favourite part of Ireland.
Don't forget that we offer Gift Vouchers for Christmas and all year round for birthdays and other occasions. A photography gift voucher entitles the holder to the same benefits as a direct booking: one-to-one photography tuition, a choice of locations in Dublin, Wicklow and the rest of Ireland, morning or evening photography workshops, follow-on advice and critique on images. To buy a Panoramic Ireland Photography Gift Voucher for a friend, relation or even for yourself please follow this link or Contact Us.
Find out more about our Dublin Photo Tours here, for our Northern Ireland photo tours click here and Galway and rest of Ireland you can find out more here.
What makes Ireland so special? Perhaps it is the landscapes, the history, the people or a combination of all of these that bring 7 million visitors every year to this little island.
Dublin is the capital of Ireland and the chief city on the island, Belfast is the second largest, and the chief city of Northern Ireland. The island has two currencies and two governments but there is no real border between the north and south anymore; indeed it is quite easy to drive from one side to the other without knowing it.
It is true, in Ireland it rains a bit (isn't that why it's so green?) but don't let that put you off because it doesn't rain as much as you think. With some good luck there will be fine weather during your visit. The best months to visit are April, May, June and September. The days are long, the weather is often perfect and it isn't high season. Is there any better place to be than driving along a country road somewhere in Ireland on a warm, sunny day?
Have a look at the blog section of the site for more stories, events and information on the places mentioned here.
Enjoy the site, we hope you learn something and when you come to visit us here in Ireland/ Why not book a photography tour with us, learn something about the real Ireland and learn how to make better images.

Binghamton's Broadus placed on leave of absence
Embattled Binghamton coach Kevin Broadus has been placed on an indefinite paid leave of absence, the school announced Wednesday. Assistant coach Mark Macon will take over the program on an interim basis.
The development is the latest blow to Binghamton, which made the NCAA tournament last season thanks to the recruitment of some talented but troubled prospects -- among them was Emmanuel "Tiki" Mayben, the former Syracuse recruit who was arrested last month for allegedly selling crack cocaine. Mayben was subsequently dismissed from the team along with five teammates. Then the athletic director resigned. Then the school reported recruiting violations that stemmed from Broadus contacting prospects in a no-contact period.
Macon is in his third season at Binghamton.
He's a former Temple star who was the No. 8 pick in the 1991 NBA Draft.

Report: Binghamton AD to resign
Binghamton athletic director Joel Thirer will resign Wednesday, according to the New York Times .
Thirer's resignation comes less than a week after six Binghamton basketball players were dismissed -- among them Emmanuel "Tiki" Mayben, who was arraigned last Thursday on crack cocaine charges. Thirer did not immediately return a message left by CBSSports.com. Basketball coach Kevin Broadus also did not return a voicemail.
Thirer has been Binghamton's athletic director since 1989.

Binghamton can't stay out of the news
A Binghamton adjunct lecturer who accused the athletic department of pressuring her to change her grading policy for basketball players was dismissed Tuesday, according to the New York Times .
The adjunct lecturer's name is Sally Dear.
Her criticism appeared in a New York Times article in February . She was dismissed less than a week after six basketball players were released -- including Emmanuel "Tiki" Mayben, who was arraigned last Thursday on crack-cocaine charges.
"I'm being fired for being ethical," Dear told the New York Times . "I have no doubt about that whatsoever. ... It's unfortunate that people who are honest and trying to do their job are punished for that."

An email from a Binghamton graduate
The Binghamton column has generated a lot of emails, but none more interesting than the one I got from a Binghamton graduate. To me, it exemplifies the problem the school created by trying to be something it isn't, and probably shouldn't be.
The email was from C. Tyrrell.
It read: As a graduate of Binghamton and College basketball fan, I found your article to be right on in terms of holding the School President and AD accountable for what has occurred. The schools strong academic reputation has been harmed by their actions. It appears in accepting these students with less than stellar credentials it was not about improving their academics as it was about improving the chance of an NCAA bid. It is ironic that my school pride has diminished in the year it made its first NCAA basketball tournament. You can have pride in a school with principled academic standards and a poor basketball team, but not the other way around. I recall the days, just 20 years ago, where we would be excited when we had a player that could dunk the ball. Now we have players that can dunk the ball and administrators that have dunked my degree down a notch.

Binghamton Zoo > Binghamton Basketball
Among the recent quotes from Binghamton AD Joel Thirer that I did not use in my column was one where he compared his job to running a "zoo." But not everybody ignored it the way I did, specifically Amanda J. Padwa, the business manager of -- you're going to love this -- the Binghamton Zoo.
The New York Times' Pete Thamel noticed that Padwa provided a letter to the editor that ran in this morning's Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin . She wrote: "Not one of our tigers has been arrested with cocaine. No otter knocks over old ladies to shoplift condoms. Our bear doesn't have temper tantrums and storm off his exhibit. You won't find any of our lemurs busted for smoking pot. So, please, stop insulting zoos by comparing those criminals to us."

Binghamton star arrested with crack cocaine
Tiki Mayben helped Binghamton make its first NCAA tournament last March.
Now he's facing criminal charges after being arrested for possession of crack cocaine.
"He was arrested [Wednesday] after a lengthy investigation for criminal sale of a controlled substance, crack cocaine," Sgt. Sean Kittle of the Troy (N.Y.) Police Department told the Press & Sun-Bulletin newspaper. "At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of a large quantity of crack cocaine."
Mayben pleaded not guilty Thursday.
He is expected to post a $30,000 bail.
"I expect him to [return to] school," Mayben's attorney, Greg Cholakis, told the Press & Sun-Bulletin outside the courtroom. "I would hope and trust the team will treat him as innocent at this point."
Mayben initially signed with Syracuse out of high school, but he never enrolled because of academics. The point guard played one year at UMass and then transferred to a junior college before playing last season at Binghamton, where he averaged 11.5 points and 4.7 assists per game.

Why steal when you've got all that cash, Malik?
The Malik Alvin story just keeps getting better and better, and I know that's hard to imagine.
But it's true.
If you remember, I explained in the blog last night how Alvin has been suspended from Binghamton after he was arrested for stealing extra large condoms from a Wal-Mart and running over an old woman while trying to escape security. Classic, right? And now the guys over at BustedCoverage.com have posted pictures of Alvin with a roll of cash that suggests he shouldn't have to steal anything, even condoms.
Anyway, I can't vouch for the authenticity of the pictures.
But they look real, don't they?

Magnums, huh? You go, Malik Alvin!
We have a leader in the clubhouse for goofiest college basketball story of the year.
It's about Binghamton's Malik Alvin.
He's been suspended for stealing condoms.
According to the report, Alvin was confronted by Wal-Mart security last month when officers said he tried to leave the store with contents from a box of condoms without paying. Naturally, the junior college transfer took off running and was caught ... but not before knocking a 66-year-old woman to the ground and causing her to suffer a concussion. In other words, Alvin's attempt to practice safe sex led to an unsafe shopping experience for an old lady.
Alvin has been charged with petty larceny and third-degree assault. Somehow, he pleaded not guilty because I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for stuffing condoms down your pants, running from security and trampling a senior citizen on a Sunday afternoon at the local Wal-Mart. Let he who has never done that cast the first stone.
Anyway, the best part is that Alvin didn't just steal any condoms; he stole Magnums.
That's impressive.
Particularly for a 6-0, 165-pound guard.
I call BS.
But if you're gonna go down you might as well go down carrying something serious.
So for that, I say hats off to Malik Alvin and send a Get Well Soon to the woman who took a charge for Wal-Mart security.
That's a hustle point in my book.

Personally, I think The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability (Cleis Press) should be made required reading in med school. It should also be given out with the little pamphlets describing ones condition that one gets in the doctors office upon diagnosis. It would be a lot more useful.
The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability is the work of three people. Miriam Kaufman is a physician, a pediatrician who specializes in adolescent medicine and who lives with a non-disabling chronic illness. Cory Silverberg is the About.com guide to sexuality, a certified sex educator, and a founding member of Come As You Are. Fran Odette is a disabled queer activist and educator on issues regarding disability in women.
Between the three of them, Kaufman, Silverberg and Odette have done the most thorough job I've ever seen of covering the physical and emotional logistics of navigating sexual life with a disability, a not-inconsiderable task. Yup, we like sex. Some of us even like colorful sex. That doesn't change.
What changes is how we perceive ourselves and how we're perceived by society as a whole. It never occurs to most people that a woman in a wheelchair might be a good top, or that it's okay to top a quadriplegic man. For the most part, people don't even think it's okay to have sex with us at all, much less bring out the restraints, and frankly it's long past time someone dealt decisively with this issue.
Here's why. According to an article in the New York Times last year about one third of Americans in their twenties today will experience some kind of disability while they are of working age, most likely due to chronic illness. Once we reach retirement, that figure rises to 100%, excepting those who die in good health. Even the most active seniors experience physical impairment, and the older we get, the more issues we're likely to have.
It's one of those things we don't think about until it's too late, and then we find out that so many people also prefer not to think about it that we have very little to work with. How do you use a vibrator when you have little mobility or sensation in your hands? How do you put a condom on when you have an indwelling catheter? How do you have sex when penetration is impossible?
It can all be done, and this book shows you how. It also offers suggestions for the non-physical side of sex, which is arguably the more complex. The further someone deviates from the accepted notions of normal, the more important it is to communicate clearly, and the more difficult that communication becomes. It's so difficult, in fact, that it doesn't always work out well no matter what you say or do, but at least there's some guidance here that can help you do the best you can.
Perhaps the thing I like best about this book is that it isn't a feel-good piece. The disabled can find themselves more crippled by self-esteem issues than by the disability itself, and that's in here. We're just as vulnerable to the ordinary wear and tear of living in a world where even the able-bodied are unable to meet the standards. Some must ask for help from attendants in order to simply masturbate, and some are unable to have penetrative sex at all. We are also significantly more vulnerable to abuse at every turn, by friends, family members, intimate partners and even medical professionals. The psychological defense systems we need to protect ourselves from further abuse may not be in place.
So while we're not alone in feeling sexual past the onset of disability, we're also not alone in finding it difficult to form or maintain healthy sexual relationships, with ourselves or with other people, and this is the first book I've seen that addresses both physical and emotional issues thoroughly and compassionately, never mind provides lists of books, websites and organizations that can help. This book is worth the price for the Resources chapter alone.
I've changed my mind. Everyone should have this book, because disability affects everyone, one way or another. If it doesn't get us while we're still of working age, it will get us as we get older, and it will also get those we know and love. A healthy spouse can get hit by a car, or a sibling can develop cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or any number of disabling conditions, and the prevailing assumption that the disabled are incapable of or disinterested in sex creates additional barriers to a full life.
The assumptions about the disabled and sex don't just affect our intimate relationships, they affect every social relationship we have. How many well-meaning matchmakers think of hooking that great girl they know up with their cousin who has MS? And how many physical therapists think to teach their clients how to adapt their sex lives?
The answer is not many, but this book does its level best to fill the gap. Having issues with self-esteem and worried about what it will be like to meet people? It's in here. Sexual logistics? It's in here. Communication? It's in here. Information on sexually transmitted diseases? It's in here. Kink? It's in here, too, and so is what to do if you're being abused. It even has a bit about one of my favorite body-supporting activities: Yoga.
As a writer who specializes in love between imperfect people, this book is a gold mine. There's information about disabilities I have no experience of, personal or vicarious. I'll refer to it again and again.
As a disabled person, this book is a great comfort. There's nothing in here regarding my own impairment that I didn't already know, but it's good to be reminded that I'm not alone. Life with disability might be interesting, but it's never easy.
It's possible that something's been left out of this book, but it's not for lack of trying on the part of the authors or of Cleis Press. They've done an excellent job. Anything further will build or expand on this rather than better it.
So in the absence of me being able to afford to buy six billion copies, get one for yourself. If the disabled person in your life is your partner, it can help you understand what they're going through and how to best offer support. If it's a friend or relative, it can help you accept and support their intimate life.
If the disabled person is you, at the very least it will let you know you have plenty of company.

My son was born with a congenital disorder that has caused him to have more than thirty surgeries with an MR/Autistic diagnosis. I will need a residential living situation for him in the future. I found NHS/AVS and was immediately impressed. The staff were warm and welcoming. The facility is outstanding with a beautiful sensory garden, indoor pool facilities, wonderful group homes with loving care-givers, and work programs for the residents to give them independence and pride in their abilities. It is a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that will replace my son's loving home when I am no longer able to care for him in the future. Benjamin is a sweet, kind, loving, young man, and I am confident that at NHS/AVS he will receive the kind of care that gives me hope for him to be as independent, productive, and successful as he can be, in a nurturing and caring environment full of opportunity, dignity, and purpose.

Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story airs Sunday on CBC-TV
Hockey legend Gordie Howe shares screen time with late wife Colleen in biopic

Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
It's called Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story, but the film that airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBC-TV gives an equal amount of face time to another key player in the famed family.
As the movie shows, late wife Colleen Howe was the support system for Howe and their hockey-playing sons, Marty and Mark, particularly as the beloved patriarch made a comeback to compete alongside his boys in the fledgling pro World Hockey Association league in the 1970s.
"Gordie was this giant on the ice and this giant figure in the hockey world, but he'd spent so much of his life devoted to that, that I think even in their later years without her he was kind of lost because she handled everything else," said Vancouver actor Michael Shanks, who plays Howe in the film.
"That's one of the reasons the movie is dedicated to her. It demonstrates this unsung hero, Mrs. Hockey, who was really where everything flowed back into."
"She was doing things that women just didn't do at that time," said Hamilton-born Beverly Hills 90210 star Kathleen Robertson, who plays Colleen.
"She was very involved and very influential in all the business dealings of what it was to be Gordie Howe in that time period. She was very protective of her sons, she basically negotiated their deals; she was their manager and she was really smart and really tough."
Mr. Hockey finds Saskatchewan-born Howe in his mid-40s, retired from his 25-year career on the ice and unhappily working a job in the Detroit Red Wings front office.
When sons Marty (Dylan Playfair) and Mark (Andrew Herr) are drafted into the newly formed WHA in a deal initiated by agent Colleen, Howe decides to join them and they play for the Houston Aeros in what was billed as "the first father-son team ever."
As the film shows, the move was also labelled by some as "the biggest publicity stunt in hockey history" and had officials with the rival NHL threatening that the Howe sons would never play in their league.
But Howe wasn't deterred.
"He'd spent so much of his life playing the game that he was a little bit lost when he wasn't doing it," said Shanks, former star of Stargate SG-1, who is now on the supernatural medical drama Saving Hope.
"And then when the opportunity presented itself, where he saw that his two kids were drafted at a young age and he still had that fire burning, I think he just took advantage of the opportunity that he had to use his name to get back in the sport.
"But I think it was just a dream to play with his boys."
Andy Mikita directed and Malcolm MacRury wrote the script, getting input from Marty and Mark Howe.
Shanks said he pored over interviews and videos of Howe to get down his mannerisms.
He even had his dentist make up a set of fake teeth for him to wear onscreen so as to replicate the way Howe's dentures affected his speech.
Shanks already had extensive hockey experience before shooting: he started playing when he was 5 in Kamloops, B.C., did it competitively until about age 20 and still plays occasionally.
But the 12-hour, overnight shoots in a Winnipeg ice rink took their toll.
"I don't think anybody's used to keeping their feet in skates for that length of time," said Shanks, 42. "So I actually did some nerve damage to two of my toes just from the first day when I kept my feet in the skates the whole time."
Robertson said Herr's "feet were just trashed, just bloody, bloody, bloody, ripped apart" from wearing the 1970s-era skates.
"I was like, 'You can't make them keep playing! You have to let them have a break!'" she added. "It was really rough."
