Re: Need help with a TOS fan fic
So to capture the TOS style, keep it short and simple: "Aye, I said an hour, but I thought the conduit had just burnt out. Turns out it'd overloaded, fusing the distributor entirely. Whole thing's got to be hauled out an' replaced. That's a six to eight hour job to begin with, an' it' take just as long to bring it up to operatin' temperature. An' that's if we rush things, an there's no delays. I'm sorry Mister Spock, but I just canna do it faster than that."

Re: Need help with a TOS fan fic
I hear some of you saying technobabble isn't a good thing, and I agree. But I wanted to put Scotty in a scene. And I wanted Spock to come to engineering and have him and Scotty exchange dialogue. Now obviously they aren't going to talk about philosophy, they're going to talk about getting warp engines online, and the technobabble being just padding between some whimsical moments and banter.
It is my belief that technobabble makes for good padding, but makes a horrible plot device.
I also think technobabble can be used for a bit of comedy. such as:
Kirk gets on the intercom and asks Scotty how the progress is going. Scotty whips out an enormous line of nonsensical technobabble. Kirk says "Good good. But what about the quantum defibrillator? is it running."
Scotty says puzzled "uh, aye sir, it's working fine."
"Glad to hear it, Kirk out."
And one of the crewmen overhears and says "wow Captain, you've studied quantum warp mechanics?"
Kirk smiles and says "No, actually I have no idea what the quantum defibrillator is. For all I know Scotty made it up. I just like to ask questions. Makes it seem like I'm on his tail, to keep him busy."

Re: Need help with a TOS fan fic
One of the best instances of TOS technobabble I ever saw was where Scotty told Kirk that something had gone "haywire." Kirk replied, "'Haywire' is not an acceptable engineering term, Mr. Scott." So Scotty explained the situation in more normal terms, but it wasn't full of meaningless babble.
"Let's give it to Riker. He'll eat anything!"

I'm a member of the official Coldplay website and got a message from them on watching the linked video for their new song "Violet Hill'. It's not their official video, but interesting nonetheless.
Kind of ballsy move, but love that they put themselves out there for criticism. May make more sense if you know the lyrics to some of the song as well.
What are your thoughts?
Here is the link, and again, this isn't a fan that made this.

I thought the video was pretty good. Don't really listen to much coldplay, but i liked it for the most part. The song kind of reminds me of another song, but i can't seem to put my finger on it at the moment.
"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
so what's daring about this video?
All things flow according to the whims of the great magnet.
"You know, that might be the answer - to act boastfully about something we ought to be ashamed of. That's a trick that never seems to fail."
I didn't even click the link, but I usually don't pay any attention to what "celebrities" political views are. Sure, they have more of a platform where people listen to them because they are better at some performing art than 99.9% of the population, but does that make them more knowledgeable about anything else?
Didn't say it was daring. Kind of ballsy though making politicians look like fools on stage with lyrics 'when the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show' and 'i don't want to be a soldier, with a captain of some sinking ship'.
Just my opinion, you don't have to see it the same way.

Canon CN-E Compact Prime Lenses for DSLR Video
August 8, 2012
The Zeiss CP.2 Compact Primes have been a popular choice for professional Canon DSLR Cine Lenses, but Canon should be giving Zeiss a run with the growing line of Canon CN-E compact primes. So far they've announced a 24mm T1.5, 50mm T1.3, and 85mm T1.3, to work on your full frame cameras, the new Black Magic Cinema camera, and 4K resolution ready for that new C500. For me that has pretty much covered a good range of lenses I choose to use on a daily basis, but i'm hoping to see a 35mm added to that list too. Pricing is not too far off from the CP2 lenses, and Pre-order pricing for Canon's compact CN-E prime lenses start at just under $5K (each).

Dear Canon,
Thanks for getting me all excited only to immediately crush my hopes of ever owning these lenses because of price.
A broke camera guy.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Do you think Rokinon CL 35mm for Canon work on BMCC. I know the camera is not out yet, Wondering?
August 9th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Yea I know right. I was hoping they would be a little bit cheaper than the ziess compact primes.
August 10th, 2012 at 10:45 am
A set of matched Cooke lenses might be a better buy! I bet they are great lenses though.
November 16th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Can you do a feature on the Chinese knock off CP.2 lens?
November 19th, 2012 at 4:35 am
I am a canon fan… I love canon… I really do. I have a 5d2 5d3 and 7d, i have the 50mm1.2, 8-15mm F4, 16-35 F2.8, the 24-70 f2.8, the 70-200 f2.8 II IS USM, the 100-400mm 4-5.6…… I have the grips, the flashes,
But now you're going to tell me, that while you can use those lenses on a RED scarlet for half the price of the c300 which is half the camera….
Im sorry I lost my train of though, all I can think of is WTF are you thinking? Your competition just smacked you across the face – your C series is NOTHING in comparison to the RED's- and if they can use the EF mount and spit out fantabulous images – tell me one good reason why anyone should by your 5,000 dollar a piece primes?
PS. get your HOYA…. thats Head Out Your >>>>> you get the idea – don't give us the least you can get away with – you should be ashamed of yourself for not giving us RAW HDMI output until magic lantern forced your hand.
NOW – go out there and blow RED away – in fact, go make a camera thats better than the Sony F65 with 8K (not flimsy, or should I say filmy 4k)… go do that, and then … and only then… come out with 5000 dollar lenses.
Ashamed of you for you

In this explosive book, Peter Schweizer provides the riveting details of how the Reagan inner circle undermined the Soviet economy and its dwindling resource base and subverted the Kremlin's hold on its global empire. Using secret diplomacy, the administration dramatically reduced Soviet income while at the same time driving Moscow to expend an increasing amount of precious assets. On another level, there was an American initiative to provide covert aid to indigenous forces in Poland and Afghanistan to roll back Soviet power. Schweizer's compelling and convincing argument on the Reagan administration's calculated strategy is impossible to ignore.

"[A] convincing, startling expose that reads like a spy thriller." (Publishers Weekly)
"More about Bill Casey than Reagan"
Good book. Describes the details of the economic warfare waged against the USSR. It is also interesting to see how we forged a much stronger relationship with Saudi Arabia (for better or for worse) to hasten the collapse of the USSR. Really this is more of a story about Bill Casey than Reagan, but no matter. The narrator isn't the best, but he's not the worst, and the author can be a bit repetetive.
"Amazing "Victory""
Victory is an extraordinary story. It seems to be incredibly well researched and documented. It maintains a compelling narrative and it is very well read. It was a wonderful eye opener for a die hard liberal who hated Reagan.
"interesting details of the Cold War"
There are many things I liked about "Victory." I liked the overall theme that Reagan and the other Cold Warriors brought down the USSR through their efforts. This is refreshing to hear since left-wing revisionists give the credit to Gorbachev.
I enjoyed hearing details of what the USA was doing in Poland and Afghanistan in the 1980's. Even though I had read quite a bit about both theaters, I was unaware of some of the interesting details that Mr. Schweizer has included. Also, I gained a better understanding of the basis for the friendship between the American government and the Saudi royal family.
The only bits that I had trouble with were the calculations of how much the USSR lost and Saudi Arabia gained from the decrease in the value of the dollar in the mid-1980's. I think the author was bending mathematical logic.

The "Dialectic Process" is
practiced by the world system in carrying out its
rebellion against God. It is a common practice in
government, corporate and educational institutions. Its
goal is to continually change your baseline of truth
by bringing opposing ideas together to form a newly
compromised position. This process is
constantly repeated to fit the prevailing
ideas of the then current culture and what it holds as truth.
Therefore making truth an ever moving target. Yet God's
truth is eternal and does not change, therefore
reflecting the unchangeable nature of God
himself (James 1:17; Heb 6:17-18). The Bible states
that the whole world-system of evil in which all the
unsaved are a part of lies in the power of Satan (1
John 5:19). See how this Satanic and fallen man
system carries out it's rebellion against God and
its deception of man.
According to new population
projections by the Pew Research Center's Forum on
Religion & Public Life the world's Muslim population is
expected to increase by about 35% in the next 20 years,
rising from 1.6 billion in 2010 to 2.2 billion by 2030.
In the United States, for example, the population
projections show the number of Muslims more than
doubling over the next two decades, rising from 2.6
million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030. This is
attributed in a large part
to the immigration and higher-than-average fertility
among Muslims."[8].
Most of the concern about Islam is around the radical and extremist views and actions by those within Islam who practice their faith in such a manner. This concern is not unwarranted but it should not be the only criteria used to access the dangers Islam pose. From a Christian view the greatest danger is spiritual. Islam denies the deity of Christ, the crucifixion and the resurrection as taught in the Bible. Its' system of salvation differs from that of Christianity, in addition Islam maintains that one cannot have a personal relationship with God in contrast to the Christian belief that a person can. Are you prepared to be a witness for Christ to the Muslim community?

LONDON (AP) -- Actor Hugh Grant has settled his phone hacking claim against Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World tabloid for a "substantial" but undisclosed sum of money, his lawyer said Friday.
RELATED: Who had trouble with the law in 2012?
Mark Thomson said that the "Notting Hill" star would donate cash from the settlement, as well as an additional payment, to media reform group Hacked Off, which is campaigning for stricter oversight of Britain's scandal-tainted press.
Thomson said in a brief statement that Grant's claims arose from "the unlawful activities of News of the World journalists and others over a number of years," but didn't go into any further detail.
Grant was one of the first celebrities to turn on Murdoch's powerful tabloid as it emerged that journalists there had hacked the phones of people in the public eye, rifling through their private communications in search of stories. The ensuing scandal rocked Murdoch's media empire, leading to scores of arrests and resignations and hundreds of millions of dollars in losses from lawsuits and legal fees. Murdoch was forced to close the News of the World amid an advertiser boycott, and his once-formidable influence over U.K. politics was dealt a body blow as politicians rushed to distance themselves from the tycoon's U.K. newspaper company, News International.
RELATED: Who are Hollywood's reformed bad boys?
Prime Minister David Cameron, whose saw two close confidants' careers crushed by the scandal, was pushed to set up a judge-led inquiry into media ethics, which in turn exposed a culture of bullying, bribery and blackmail across the U.K. press.
Grant was one of the inquiry's first and most outspoken witnesses, testifying that a section of the British media had been "allowed to become toxic over the last 20 or 30 years."
A spokeswoman for News International, an arm of the New York-based News Corp., declined comment. Thomson said a statement would be made before England's High Court early in the new year.

Frank's next chat will be at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12.
Email Frank your Penn State questions to fbodani (at) ydr.com for inclusion in the weekly chats.
And follow Frank on Twitter at @YDRPennState.
In the past, national signing day would come and go with barely a word out of State College.
Joe Paterno and his staff did not promote their new pledges, and they would not let them speak to the media for up to a year.
But O'Brien, 42, wants -- and probably needs -- to do certain things much differently.
And so the Nittany Lions' new head coach spoke with reporters on a Wednesday conference call from his hotel in Indianapolis. He still is busy preparing his New England Patriots' offense for the Super Bowl before taking over full-time at Penn State.
Related: Read the transcript of O'Brien's teleconference
Listen: Penn State podcast
Meanwhile, members of his new staff talked with reporters at Penn State's team headquarters.
O'Brien said he was eager to talk recruiting. He knows this is a first step in letting Pennsylvania and the rest of the Nittany Lions' new recruiting territory -- New England all the way to Florida -- get to know him.
Of course, he did speak specifically of Penn State's 19-member class of 2012, all of whom faxed in their letters of intent as scheduled.
His staff's first priority was reaching out to players who already had given verbal commitments to Penn State.
Players lost were replaced by signees featuring lesser national recruiting pedigrees.
"I (couldn't) care less about player rankings," O'Brien said. "What I care about is that we found players who are the right fit for Penn State. . . . I don't know who does those rankings. But I'm part of a football team now, and I can go up and down (New England's) roster and find plenty of guys who were ranked highly coming out of high school, and plenty of guys who were not."
While O'Brien said his staff will still focus recruiting on Pennsylvania high schools, they will not hesitate to use their extensive southern ties to recruit beyond the traditional 350-mile radius of State College.
An easy example was Steven Bench, the quarterback commit from Georgia who pledged to Penn State only 10 days ago.
"We may run a different offense than (Bench) did, but his accuracy and decision-making will fit really well," O'Brien said.
Of course, O'Brien had only so much to do with this class. His full-time job at Penn State begins Tuesday.
The first priority will be meeting with his staff and deciding which "direction" to proceed in hiring his final assistant coach, probably a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. That hire should be made by the end of next week.
Then begins a three-month stretch of winter workouts, attending fundraisers and clinics, meeting high school coaches, holding their first spring practices -- and recruiting next year's class.
For now, though, O'Brien still was talking from a hotel room in Indianapolis.
The Super Bowl -- perhaps the only in which he'll ever coach -- is only a few days away.
He seemed to embrace doing two major jobs at once.
"It hasn't been as difficult as people may think, because of the people involved on both ends," he said. "In New England, I've got a couple of guys assigned to me to help in the transition. At Penn State, I've got a tremendous staff in place."
He finished by stressing the importance of getting his word out on national signing day.
And how this is only a first step.

Is Atari Bigby the Packers? biggest defensive liability in 2009? File/Press-Gazette
Have questions or comments about the Packers? Send them to Press-Gazette sports editor Mike Vandermause at email@example.com and he'll provide responses in Packers Preview.
Q: What do you see as the Packers' most obvious defensive liability this year?
Vandermause: It could be Atari Bigby if he doesn't start making some plays. It could be the depleted cornerback crew. If Al Harris or Charles Woodson get hurt, that spells trouble because I don't see a solid No. 4 CB right now. It could be right outside linebacker. Can Brady Poppinga perform as a starter? Can Clay Matthews overcome an injury-filled preseason and bring it during the regular season?
Q: OK, Mike, really, isn't Ted Thompson rolling the dice even more than normal by carrying only 2 QBs, with the backup coming off shoulder issues? Or am I worrying about something I need not worry about?
Vandermause: No, I think you are worrying for good reason. If Aaron Rodgers goes down with an injury, the Packers' season goes kaput. Maybe Matt Flynn could finish a game in which the Packers are leading. But the guy has taken limited snaps in the preseason and has to scrape off some rust. As for only going two deep, I suppose you could make the argument that when it gets down to the No. 3 QB, they are going to lose the game anyway. So why not run Donald Driver, or whoever the emergency fill-in will be, out of the Wildcat formation?
Q: Mike, appreciate your unvarnished reporting on the Pack, keep up the great work. If you were the GM, what single roster move would you make right now?
Vandermause: I would trade a late-round pick for a veteran cornerback that could serve as adequate insurance for Woodson-Harris-Tramon Williams.
Q: Have you seen anything to indicate special teams will be special?
Vandermause: I believe special teams will be better than last year. But then, that's not saying a whole lot. Jeremy Kapinos became more consistent punting the ball as training camp went on, so that should be a big upgrade over Derrick Frost. Mason Crosby still has been inconsistent, especially on long field goals. The coverage and return units will be stocked with more athletic linebacker types, so that should bode well. But I don't see an impact return man on the team, and Will Blackmon is always battling injuries. So I'm not sure I can say special teams will be truly special this year. They might be adequate, but not special.
Q: It doesn't seem like the Packers want to give Brian Brohm a fair shake. Call me biased, cuz I am.
Vandermause: Brohm has no one to blame but himself. He has been slow to pick up the pro game. If he can't learn under coach Mike McCarthy, maybe he won't be able to learn it anywhere. If anyone wanted to see Brohm succeed, it was the Packers. His release from the 53-man roster spoke volumes.
Q: Are the Bears overrated? I see the NFC North as only a two-man race, between the Cheese and the Grape Apes. The Bears won't be factors come late November.
Vandermause: I tend to agree with you. Jay Cutler has generated a lot of buzz in Chicago, but things could go south pretty quickly down there. I could see the Bears finishing 9-7 or 8-8 easily.
Q: Brett Favre is already indicating he might not last the season and he can't promise to be an "iron man" this year. Is his real goal to ensure he passes Jim Marshall on the all-time consecutive games played list (needs just two starts)?
Vandermause: Maybe that has been his goal all along. That, plus wanting to stick it to Ted Thompson, plus wanting to win a Super Bowl, all served to lure Favre back.
Q: Is there a rift between McCarthy and Rodgers? I heard on the radio A-Rod was asked about his relationship with McCarthy and all he could say was "It's getting better." I also hear he is very upset about them cutting Ruvell Martin. Your thoughts?
Vandermause: McCarthy and Rodgers are fine. Yes, Rodgers was disappointed that Martin was let go. But this isn't grammar school. This is a business, and Rodgers understands that.

Florida Tech's mascot can root for the men's soccer team, which beat Tampa.
- Filed Under
Adin Kavara has scored a lot of goals in his soccer lifetime, but Tuesday night was his first golden goal.
The freshman from Norway scored the game winner with 2:24 left in overtime to lift the Florida Tech men's soccer team past Tampa 3-2.
"A bit lucky, but I feel the team has been a bit unlucky the last few matches, so this felt pretty good," Kavara said of his ninth goal of the season. "It was a deflection, but it felt good. We don't have golden goals in Norway so this is the first time playing a golden goal match." ...

November 27, 2015
HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - BP officials and representatives of Alabama's governor and attorney general will meet later than originally announced to discuss the state's $148 million claim against BP.
Incoming BP CEO Bob Dudley said Sunday in Hoover that such a meeting was planned for Monday. BP spokesman Justin Saia said Monday officials had tried to arrange the meeting for that day, but scheduling conflicts prevented it.
Attorney General Troy King's spokesman, Chris Bence, said the meeting would be later. BP spokesman Ray Melick said officials hoped to schedule the meeting for later in September but date has not been set.
Gov. Bob Riley is seeking $148 million from BP for tax revenue lost after the Gulf oil spill. The attorney general has taken a different course and is suing the oil company on behalf of the state.

Luxurious Rainy Days With These Pasotti UmbrellasMarch 7th, 2011 by Des
You can't be a Baller & only live half of a larger-than-life existence – that would be sacrilege in terms of the Baller's code of conduct! That's why we here at Baller House encourage you to be a Baller in every way possible, from the smallest accessories you wear, to the flashy cars & the Baller pad you like to show off so often.
If you're a Baller in every possible way, than these luxury umbrellas will appeal to your over-the-top taste. They're made by the Italian company Pasotti & they crafted by hand with the finest materials available, to create a range of totally luxurious umbrellas – because practical can also be fancy.
Fine Italian fabric has been used for the umbrella, with a double cloth system stretched over the frame. It's all held together with a silver or gold ring when the umbrella is not in use, which is far classier than the usual fabric & velcro catch. The fabric has been adorned with Swarovski crystals that have been hand-sewn onto the fabric, while the handle has matching crystals that are hand-laid into the wood.
The umbrellas range from $280 to $700 in price & the company also maEditkes stylish raincoats & hats, if that is your sort of thing.
You can view Pasotti's collection on their site.

HOWEVER THIS YEAR... I'm going full steam ahead even though I'm probably more busy now than I've ever been but I also haven't ever had an idea as good as the one I have this year. I'm so so so excited! I woke up early and started writing and by the end of day one I already had 5,000 words! Which is great because I know there are going to be some days I'm not able to get to my computer and even write 200 words. Use the time when you got it right?!
Because of the demands of NaNo and all of my other stuff I've decided to temporarily suspend my memes for this month. ( I know, you all are crying on the inside.) The only one I'm going to participate in this month is In My Mailbox. All memes will start back up in December on their usually post days of the week. This month will be chock full of writerly things, Nano and Reviews. I know from past experience just how stressful Nano is during this time of year, so I encourage any of you participating to leave a comment or friend me on NaNo! One of the easiest ways to get through the month with 50,000 words is SUPPORT! As a member of the book blogging community...support is something we are good at right?! If you come across someone doing NaNo or even if you're doing it yourself...take a minute to appreciate the challenge and encourage a fellow writer!

Second 4-star DT decommits from Texas: I had no communication with Charlie Strong
Texas' 2014 class took a hit on Tuesday night when four-star San Antonio Warren defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao decommitted. But the Longhorns and new head coach Charlie Strong suffered an even bigger blow just a couple of hours later.
Four-star Saint Augustine (LA) defensive tackle Courtney Garnett also backed out of his pledge, leaving the Longhorns with Longview's Zaycoven Henderson as the lone interior defensive lineman left in the class.
"It was the coaching change and not wanting to be in an environment where I wasn't recruited by that staff," Garnett told ESPN.com. "I don't think I'd feel comfortable. Right now, there's no communication with the new staff. I don't know if they've called any of the current commits. It's a long process, and I just want to make sure I'm comfortable wherever I go."
When asked about Mack Brown resigning, Garnett said it didn't affect him as long as defensive tackle Bo Davis was kept on staff. But Davis accepted a job with USC on Tuesday.
And it didn't seem Garnett was all that excited about Texas hiring Strong. Moments after tweeting that he was no longer committed, Garnett retweeted this ESPN tweet:
Garnett is ranked as the No. 39 defensive tackle in the nation and No. 22 overall prospect in the state of Louisiana. He is now down to Oklahoma,Tennessee and USC.

Bids to purchase the bankrupt Courtyard Marriott on 92nd Street and First Avenue are due today, Crain's reported. If numerous bids come in, then an auction could be held next week. [more]
Posts Tagged 'Madison 92nd Street Equities'
The 226-room Courtyard Marriott on East 92nd Street may close this spring, in the wake of two years of legal battles, including a lawsuit against Marriott International, Crain's reported. It is scheduled to lay off 59 employees by March 30, according to documents filed with the Department of Labor.
The property, at First Avenue, has struggled to break even ever since it opened in 2006, Crain's noted, with owner Madison 92nd Street Equities, led by Robert Gladstone, Louis Taic and Jeffrey Kosow, citing extortionate franchise fees and the turbulent economic climate. The hotel eventually filed bankruptcy protection in August. [more]

|Poor adherence to national and international breastfeeding duration targets in an Australian longitudinal cohort.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23382897 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVES: To report on the proportion and characteristics of Australian infants who are fed, and mothers who feed, in accordance with the national and international breastfeeding duration targets of six, 12 and 24 months. Furthermore, to examine the longitudinal breastfeeding duration patterns for women with more than one child.
METHODS: Breastfeeding duration data for 9773 children have been self-reported by a national sample of 5091 mothers aged 30-36 years in 2009, participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.
RESULTS: Only 60% of infants received the minimum recommended 6 months of breast milk, irrespective of breastfeeding exclusivity. Less than 30% of infants received any breast milk at 12 months, and less than 3% were breastfed to the international target of 24 months. Young, less educated, unmarried or low-income women were at an increased risk of premature breastfeeding cessation. For women with three or more children, nearly 75% of women who breastfed their first child for at least six months reached this breastfeeding duration target for their next two children.
CONCLUSION: While national breastfeeding rates are typically evaluated in relation to the infant, a novel component of our study is that we have assessed maternal adherence to breastfeeding duration targets and the longitudinal feeding practices of women with more than one child. Separate evaluations of maternal and infant breastfeeding rates are important as they differ in their implications for public health policy and practice.

In my role artistic director of the Third Coast International Audio Festival, I've noticed something that bothers me. It's nothing new, it's fairly obvious, and it deserves your attention. It's the lack of female hosts in the ever-widening world of podcasts.
According to the widely-used podcast-delivery phone app Stitcher, as of mid-February, 2013, out of the top 100 podcasts in their system, 71 are hosted by men (many by two or three men), 11 are hosted by women (of which three are just 60 second long podcasts), 9 are co-hosted by a man and woman, and 9 are either NPR or BBC news aggregation podcasts with alternating hosts and reporters, or it's unclear who hosts. The statistics for iTunes results are similar.
As a radio addict, I generally keep up (or try to) with what's out there in the audio cosmos. I've long been aware that male-hosted podcasts out-number women-hosted podcasts. But the actual numbers floored me. They should alarm you, too. The statistics point to a disappointing truth: that podcasting, hailed back in 2004 as a "revolutionary" new tool for freedom of expression and endless creative opportunity, quickly copied the same gender stereotypes and realities that traditional broadcasting environments have demonstrated throughout history.
Of course I'm not the only one who's noticed this, or who thinks about it. Nick van der Kolk (Snap Judgment, Love + Radio) posited the question via Facebook back in 2011, and Ashley Milne-Tyte (The Broad Experience) wrote about it last year, just to point to a couple previous public ponderings. But it's an issue that merits continuous noise, so here's an attempt to bang on a few more pots and pans about the situation.
I asked two dozen people (half women, half men) in the extended Third Coast community of producers, public radio decision-makers and podcast hosts to weigh in on the topic. A little more than half responded. Of those who did respond, approximately 85% were women. What follows are my own thoughts, combined with observations and opinions from those who responded to my questions. These anecdotal experiences show a few main factors contributing to the egregious gender imbalance of the podcasting world.
1. Most popular podcasts are about "guy things."
Beyond the highly successful public radio and public radio-esque podcasts (most of which are hosted by men) the podcasts in the top 100 lists are largely comedy, sports, "knowledge", and tech-related. These are all fields that are traditionally dominated by male hosts and guests, so it's not surprising that the most successful podcasts in these categories are hosted by men. Most of the relatively few podcasts in the top 100 that are hosted by women cover topics that are about "girl things," such as Grammar Girl, The Splendid Table, and Stuff Mom Never Told You.
2. Podcast Have Sad Economics.
Unless they're born of already-existing media outlets (i.e. resources with business plans), most start-up podcasts bring in very little (if any) money and demand super-human efforts to be produced regularly. Many women who I spoke with mentioned they simply couldn't afford these terms—and if they could somehow manage not getting paid for tireless devotion to a project, they couldn't squeeze the hours needed into their already personally and professionally over-burdened days. Hillary Frank (The Longest, Shortest Time) pointed out that by the time they're experienced enough to understand what producing a top-notch podcast takes, women have often started, or are soon planning to start, a family. This seriously hinders time and energy for any other demanding endeavors—no matter how supportive and helpful one's partner is. This challenge clearly affects women differently, and more tangibly, than men.
Benjamen Walker (Too Much Information)—one of just three men who responded to my questions—answered in one frank sentence: "Women aren't stupid enough to slave away on a podcast for no money."
3. Hosting a Show Requires Takes a Big Ego.
Objectively: There's a certain amount of ego that goes along with being a host (of anything.)
Subjectively: Men seem more comfortable with feeling entitled to claiming center stage, marketing their shows, and asserting knowledge, expertise, wisdom, and opinions, than women. Men are also socialized more around technology, electronic equipment, recreational gadgetry, and are therefore more fluent in using these tools to make things like… podcasts. Women are more likely to work behind-the-scenes on a male-hosted podcast, or produce NON-hosted podcasts, than to insert themselves as hosts.
Objectively: In an age where social networking and DIY marketing can systematically decide the success/failure of endeavors big and small, this is a huge liability for women-hosted podcasts.
Obviously, these three points by no means collectively explain the relative lack of WHPs, but I hope they do begin to unpack some of the factors behind the dynamic.
So now what? Good news: Every single person reading this can do something to support women-hosted podcasts. One of the biggest hurdles to women being recognized more regularly as successful podcast hosts: most podcast listeners simply don't know about very many women-hosted podcasts. Interest is contagious, so if you intentionally seek out a couple podcats and listen to them, and like them, and write positive public reviews, and share and tweet and tag and point... you'll help attract more listeners to those podcasts, and momentum will build.
Beyond listening to shows, you can offer encouragement to women who are interested in podcasting—the support of friends and colleagues means a lot. And if you're a woman out there who has toyed with the idea of starting a podcast, but have not yet made the move... get busy! There are so many of us waiting to hear your work.

Maybe you're not counting public radio shows that are podcasted, but two of my favorite podcasts are Good Food, hosted by Evan Kleiman on KCRW, and On the Media, cohosted by Brooke Gladstone on WNYC.
And yes, please do bring back popaganda!
I love Brooke!
Julie Sabatier replied on
Brooke Gladstone is totally one of my radio heroes. Not only does she co-host an awesome show, but as regular listeners know, On the Media is edited...by Brooke.
Favorite Woman Hosted Podcasts
Kerensa Cadenas replied on
I love Throwing Shade co-hosted by Erin Gibson, which always talks about feminist news/issues. Also, This Feels Terrible hosted by Erin McGathy is hilarious and talks sex and relationships.
And Grantland just launched a new podcast with three of the women writers talking about weekly pop culture topics.
Alison Pezanosk... replied on
I agree that This Feels Terrible can be pretty funny, and Erin McGathy is a charming host. Feral Audio, the podcast collective she belongs to has quite a few shows with women hosts: http://feralaudio.com/podcasts/. Also, I learned about another podcast through This Feels Terrible that's hosted by a married couple (a man and a woman) where they give relationship advice called Totally Married (she - Elizabeth Laime - also has her own podcast Totally Laime as well).

I am a podcast addict and a lady. I wanted to add a few more of my favorites to your list..
-Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend: The name of the podcast might make her sound a little bit like a jerk, but she's absolutely not. I really love the way she interviews people and she's extremely funny.
-How Was Your Week with Julie Klausner: She is funny and opinionated, which could be annoying if she wasn't so darned charming and entertaining.
-The JV Club: Janet Varney interviews people about their youthful years. She's a sensitive soul and she asks her guests good questions.

Just Getting Back Into Podcasts
Amina replied on
I used to be a podcast junkie while doing my homework and such in college. My first introduction to podcasts was the Adam Carolla show. It became way too racist, misogynist, and offensive for my taste (the earlier shows were better), so I moved on. I love Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, Rachel Maddow Show video podcast (for times when I miss the show), and Grammer Girl.
I need to give shout-out to BGT (Black Girls Talking) it's a baby podcast just over a year old I believe. It's hosted by four women of color and it discusses racism and exclusion in pop culture, the problems with white feminism, cultural appropriation, and do movie reviews and roundups of news throughout the week. Their lastest podcast had Danielle Henderson, the creator of Feminist Ryan Gosling on. http://blackgirlstalking.tumblr.com/
While we're on the subject of podcasting and the lack of female voices, does anyone know of any good books or blogs on how one would get started developing a podcast of their own? I wanted to start one badly with a friend of mine but she never took it seriously.
Thank you for this!
erainbowd replied on
I'm a big podcast fan. I probably listen to at least one every day and only a few months ago, I suddenly realized how almost every single voice I heard was male. I realized that I was longing to hear a female voice. Despite the fact that I'd previously told myself that I was to subscribe to no more podcasts, I went out searching for some hosted by women. I was worried about this very issue and was concerned that this form that was supposed to be so wide open was already so dominated by men. I thought about starting one myself for half a second, just to help even out the odds - but for all the reasons you mention here, thought better of it.
Anyway - my active search for some female voices in my Podcast feed led me here to Bitch (thank you!) though I was sad to discover that your podcast is pretty sporadic thus far (make more please, it was one of the winners!) I also discovered DNTO, Sex Nerd Sandra and Stuff you Missed in History Class. I'm excited to check out your suggestions above! Thank you!

All-Female Doctor Who Podcast
Erika replied on
This article is so fascinating to me. I was recently on a podcasting panel at a Doctor Who convention where we discussed this very issue, and we postulated some of these very same reasons.
As for a female-hosted podcast, allow me to humbly suggest my very own podcast: Verity! www.veritypodcast.com It's an international Doctor Who podcast hosted by myself and another woman, with four additional rotating (female) contributors.
Thank you for bringing this issue to light!
seconding the FWF recommendation!

Jaclyn's podcast is super duper awesome. Just wanted to give it a second enthusiastic shout-out!
science fiction podcasts
Tansy Rayner Roberts replied on
Great article! Thanks for raising this issue.
I'm a co-host on two all-female podcasts about issues often thought of (WRONGLY) as being 'male.'
Galactic Suburbia (http://galactisuburbia.podbean.com/) is a discussion podcast about science fiction and fantasy publishing, news and gossip. We were nominated for a Hugo last year, which is one of the more prestigious SF awards - and the podcast which beat us to the trophy, SF Squeecast, is predominantly made up of female voices.
Meanwhile, Verity! Podcast (http://veritypodcast.wordpress.com/) is all about Doctor Who, with a rotating cast of six women.
In both cases, we have a wide audience of men and women - Galactic Suburbia in particular receives emails from male listeners as well as women, often crediting us with inspiring them to widen and diversify their reading choices. Verity! is very new, but has been embraced and supported by the (very male heavy) Doctor Who podcasting community. We've also had some really touching emails from women who have been desperate to hear female voices and perspectives on the show they love.
Running podcasts is a crazy amount of work, for no financial reward (Galactic Suburbia won an award last year which earned us enough money to cover web costs for a few years) but in both cases it's been a great community building exercise and I feel we've achieved something positive. Plus, it's SO MUCH FUN. You can talk about whatever you want and no one can derail or silence you (except, well, each other, but we try to keep that to a minimum). The discussion starts for real once we have said all WE want to say.

That's fantastic! I'm going to listen to your podcast coz as a woman, I'm into sci-fi! :) Congrats on your nomination! xx
Love The SF Podcasts!
Annie Lord replied on
Thank you for bringing up these science fiction loving podcasts! Definitely check out the SF Squeecast if this is your thing. Has anyone else noticed how supportive women who host podcasts are toward other hosts and artists?? I hear some men being like this, definitely, but women seem to praise even more. :) And, I love Galactic Suburbia!!
co-hosting sci-fi podcasts
Lizaanne42 replied on
An interesting article. I think the point of the amount of time podcasting consumes is a major factor in limiting women's involvement. I'm the first regular female co-host the DWO: Whocast has had, and the amount of time it takes to prepare for, record, and edit the weekly podcast is sometimes overwhelming.
I am a co-host on two podcasts with mixed co-hosts: the DWO: Whocast http://www.dwowhocast.libsyn.com/ a Doctor Who podcast with three men and two women, wherein we rotate hosts for different segments, and a general pop-culture podcast PDAIS http://profdave.libsyn.com/ , with two men and two women (one of whom has now had a child and has therefore stepped back to an occasional co-host).
The Moth Radio Hour
anonymous replied on
The Moth Radio Hour, which is now featured weekly on many public radio stations, not only features many stories told in women's voices, but has at least two women, two of their producers, rotating as hosts. Having a woman host every week would be nice, but for some listeners they are all they get to hear on any regular basis outside of the "inter-webs."
cool W Coast podcast I love
NSHarris replied on

Have to mention Feminist Magazine to add to the list! They've been on KPFK Pacifica for a while, but just relaunched their radio show with fresh voices a few months ago & The show is also a podcast - with some awesome guests lately: SoCal people you don't hear elsewhere, plus a truly excellent mix of issues, global feminism, pop culture plus book/movie commentaries. http://bit.ly/PodcastFemMag

Love, love, love FemMag!
anonymous replied on
Love, love, love FemMag! I've been listening to them via Stitcher and they've brought repro justice voices like Chula doula to their show. And I heard about plays and books and local chicana bike brigade Ovarian Psyco Cycles and all the new activism that is being done. Blown away!
I really don't see the issue here
Aaron replied on
If you want to start a podcast, just go do it. A basic microphone is around $20 and the software is free.
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Some are hosted by men, others by women, but either way, I listen to it because it is a good show. I don't care whether the host is a man or a woman. I don't see why this is a big deal.
Equality in podcasting requires an effort
Shutterphreak replied on
I agree with Aaron. The fact that an issue about more MHPs than WHPs was even raised seems to suggest there is some cosmic unfairness at play here. It's simply a fact and let's not make any more of it than needed. The Internet and PodCasting are equally accessible to both men and women.
So, Women with a story to tell, business to launch, research to do, photos to post, contacts to make...etc etc. Start your engines. The information super highway is open and ready for all who want take it out on the open road.
Quit your bitching bitch
Tiesto replied on
Podcasts are still a revolutionary medium. There are no barriers to creating a podcast, anyone can create one. So ladies if you want more podcasts created by women, then create more podcasts. If it's interesting, and better still, entertaining, it will be popular. Most people listening don't care if the host is a man or woman so long as they can hold their attention, captivate them and entertain/inform them.

All in the Mind
Jim of Cary NC replied on
Let me recommend the podcast All in the Mind out of Australia, hosted by Lynne Malcolm:, a program about the mind, brain and behaviour, and the endlessly fascinating interactions between them.
Examples of recent subjects:
Racing Minds - about adult ADHD.
The science of Love and Happiness -How the chemistry in our brain drives us to love, and why happiness is good for us.
Animal Minds - Ants can teach, rats have a sense of humour, chimpanzees can deceive and elephants grieve. Fascinating research now shows that the cognitive and emotional processes of animals are far more sophisticated than we once thought.
The Anatomy of Violence - Ants can teach, rats have a sense of humour, chimpanzees can deceive and elephants grieve. Fascinating research now shows that the cognitive and emotional processes of animals are far more sophisticated than we once thought.
Curiosity - Are you a curious explorer? Curiosity is the missing ingredient in our search for a more fulfilling life, says Todd Kashdan.
Tomboy Tarts Agree
Persis Shanker replied on
Haha! Nicely written article and to an extent its true but I think if a woman/women are determined, they can move mountains. Believe it is also the voice in which these podcasts are done. For example my friends and I are currently producing a comedy tirade fortnighlty, called Tomboy Tirade where we celebrate the classic spirit of being a tomboy (not in the lesbian sense - we always have to clarify this because the word tomboy has casually been taken to mean manly lesbians and it's not at all).
And our voice is pretty loud, debauched and our topics are not really feminine skewed because we believe that the woman of today is not just into baking and cookies. She's also into career, business, gadgets and entertainment, so we try to give that different perspective to our audiences.
But we have noticed that we get a lot of support from our guy friends and male audiences and our women counterparts don't really support us and that's the difference also.
A lot of the time, women don't actively support each other. Despite the talk about 'sisterhood', we feel that males are better in that department. It seems that the 'brotherhood' is waaaay stronger. Women also tend to drop out because of marriage/children as the article said and there's very little commitment to unimportant stuff like this as opposed to keeping the family together, which is odd in a day when husbands and wives are carrying equal responsibilities for the household.
But that's our view of it. But anywhoo, if you have time to stomach our brand of loud, unbridled comedy, check us out on Podomatic or iTunes as TOMBOY TIRADE and support, support, support us people!
Thought that I would let you know about our podcast!
Women Talk Sci ... replied on
Hi I am Gerri Donaldson half of the Women Talk Sci Fi podcast, the other half is Eugenia Stopyra. We are from Australia and have been podcasting for about 4 years. Our podcast is an interview podcast and we have been lucky to interview actors from many shows in the Sci Fi genre. We started the show because there were few women in podcasting and we thought that this would be a way to have women's voices heard. We have had some great feedback, if you get to listen, we hope you enjoy.

Add us to the list!
The Thinking Violets Podcast is written and hosted by Davi Rutenberg and Erin Ferrell, who would rather discuss archetypes and punk rock than cupcakes and parenting. They are artist/writers who live a thousand miles apart on the West Coast. Using their own poetry, stories, and songs, along with interviews and commentary, they explore topics in culture, mythology, the arts, and psychology. Check them out on iTunes!

The Uglee Truth
Producer Dub replied on
Thanks for posting this article. There are a number of great female hosted podcasts out there that don't get the exposure they deserve and we think ours is one of them. Granted, this is a selfish ploy for attention but Jamie & Paula, the sister hosts of The Uglee Truth (or "Ugs" as they are better known) have been sharing hilarious weekly shows for over a year.
The show features their take on just about anything. They have no filter and no topic is off limits as evidenced by their annual Vagina episode and the Uglee Awkward Moment of the week feature. It's the Ugs' frank talk that appeals to women and men alike. We invite all of your readers to check it out at http://ugleetruth.com. It's also available on iHeartRadio Talk (Comedy category), Stitcher, iTunes and, of course, you can subscribe at http://ugleetruth.libsyn.com/rss.

Uninspiring article
Marie Ross replied on
I'm not sure I would want to be included in your list after reading the article! According to Nr. 2 I must be a loser, and according to Nr. 3 I must have an inflated ego! ;-)
Maybe it's more interesting to ask women why they podcast and hear their stories than to make generalizations about why there's not more of them. I'm not sure your article is going very far to help the feminist cause, or to get people excited about podcasting.

MESA Day is a festival of learning, discovery, competitions, activities, and fun events that encourage camaraderie and spark interest in careers related to the fields of Math, Science, and Engineering. The event for participating schools is an opportunity for students to compete for awards at local and regional levels. Rules and curricula for these events are grade-specific and reinforce the California State Board of Education Math and Science standards.
Preliminary MESA Day is a day where middle and high school students compete on hands-on MESA day projects while competing to advance to the Regional, State, and National Level. The day begins with math examinations, which all MESA participants are required to take. The rest of the day, students participate in the MESA projects such as EggExpress, Mouse trap cars, Windmill Energy Challenge. At the end of the competition, students are awarded with medals and/or ribbons for innovative design, accuracy, efficiency, report writing skills and more. The top 3 winners of every project advance to the Regional MESA Day, which is a competition that involves all of the MESA Centers within each corresponding region, (in our case, Southern California).
The Regional MESA Day is much like the Preliminary MESA Day where the competitions for both middle and high schools are held separately. The activities for the regional MESA days are also similar, except that this MESA Day is only for the top 3 winners of each project from the Preliminary MESA Day. While the Preliminary MESA Day is hosted by each center in order to determine the winners, there is only 1 Regional MESA Day for each region. Since CSULB belongs to the Southern California region, our Regional MESA day includes winners from the MESA centers at CSULA, UCLA, as well as from USC. With the exception of the Wind Energy project, this is the final competition for all of the projects. The winners from the Wind Energy project, however, are then able to advance to compete on a state level in the Statewide Engineering Design Competition.
The Wind Energy Challenge event involves the transfer of energy from the wind source to the defined tasks. The maximum amount of energy available to complete the tasks will be limited to that provided by the defined commercial fan and the task time constraints.
The MESA National Engineering Design Competition is for high school and middle school teams who beat hundreds of other teams in California for the honor of going to nationals, held at Microsoft headquarters in Washington State. In June 2011 the National Champions were from Hudson Magnet school served by the MESA center housed at the CSU Long Beach College of Engineering.

She has also taught at the Universities of Aberdeen, Leicester, and Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle, and at Tsuda College, Tokyo. Her publications include Twelfth Night: Text and Performance (1986), the Arden edition of The Two Noble Kinsmen (1997, 2001), and Shakespeare in Performance: Othello (2002).

Editorial Reviews
"Two of the Mighty dead have been brought back to life in exemplary fashion: Shakespeare in Lois Potter's The Life of William Shakespeare: A Critical Biography, which very cleverly uses expert theatre-knowledge as a way of making her enigmatic subject seem plausibly substantial; and Keats in Nicholas Roe's John Keats: A New Life, which puts the poet properly in his place." (The Guardian, 24 November 2012)
"This study will have wide appeal to readers who wish to expand their appreciation of the works of William Shakespeare. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers." (Choice, 1 November 2012)
"A richly suggestive, undogmatic book in which Lois Potter ranges across the entire canon and the period that helped produce it." (Around the Globe, 1 October 2012)
"Lois Potter's Life of William Shakespeare, ranks with the most distinguished examples of its kind … Her achievement lies in her catholicity, her simultaneous commitment to matters personal, historical, theatrical, literary, cultural. She exhibits an absolute command of the available facts, a lifetime's acquaintance with the works gained in teaching and playgoing, an unparalleled familiarity with theatrical history from 1567 to the present, and a talent for connecting the fictional and the actual." (Times Literary Supplement, 10 August 2012)

Astros explode in the ninth to beat Mariners
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) – Chris Carter clubbed a go-ahead two-run double as part of a six-run ninth inning that vaulted the Houston Astros to a 6-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners in the finale of a three-game series at Safeco Field.
Nick Franklin's two-out RBI single in the eighth gave Seattle a 1-0 lead, but
the Astros, who mustered just three hits over the first eight frames against Seattle starter Jeremy Bonderman, broke through in a big way in the ninth against Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen.
Wilhelmsen (0-2) served up consecutive singles to start the frame before Carlos Corporan's sacrifice bunt moved both runners up a base.
Wilhelmsen then intentionally walked Carlos Pena to load the bases for Carter, who scorched a double to left to plate a pair for a 2-1 lead.
Another intentional walk re-packed the bags before Brandon Barnes lined a single off the glove of Jason Bay in left to score another run.
After Marwin Gonzalez fanned, Jose Altuve laced a single just past the
glove of a diving Brendan Ryan at shortstop to push two more runs across.
Charlie Furbush took over on the mound and issued consecutive walks, with the second scoring Barnes to give Houston a 6-1 cushion.
Paul Clemens (4-2) was credited with the win after recording the final out in the eighth and retiring the Mariners in order in the ninth.

A worm that lives underground seemingly has little need to detect light. But now researchers have uncovered this overlooked talent in the soil-dwelling nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Their findings may help illuminate the evolutionary history of vertebrate eyes.
C. elegans is a favorite subject of neurobiologists because it has a simple nervous system. Over the years, researchers have figured out how the worm detects chemicals, heat, and other clues to its environment. However, researchers generally assumed that the worm, which lacks eyes, was insensitive to light, says Shawn Xu, a neurobiologist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. But Xu and his colleagues noticed that the millimeter-long worms sometimes seemed to wriggle away from the bright light of their microscope.
Investigating further, Xu's graduate student Alexander Ward and postdoc Jie Liu found that flashes of light aimed at a swimming worm caused it to reverse course (see video). The worms were most sensitive to long ultraviolet (UV-A) light, and additional experiments indicated that this wavelength, which damages skin in sun-worshiping people, is downright lethal to the worms, the researchers report online 6 July in Nature Neuroscience. The scientists reason that the ability to detect UV-A may help C. elegans stay safely underground.
Please download the latest version of the free Flash plug-in.
To figure out how the sensory system works, the researchers turned lasers on the worm's neurons. C. elegans has just 302 neurons, whose functions and connections have been well studied. Destroying four pairs of sensory neurons eliminated the worm's ability to respond to light. Other experiments revealed that flashes of light spur at least one of these sensory neurons to produce weak electrical currents. These currents didn't flow without two molecular components also found in vertebrate eyes: cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, which let ions pass across a cell membrane, and a messenger molecule called cGMP.
The results suggest that some molecular components of rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate eye may have been present in the first animals with bilateral symmetry, which appeared at least 540 million years ago, before the first vertebrates, says Todd Oakley, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A few previous studies have hinted at this early origin, Oakley says, but to the best of his knowledge the new paper furnishes the first demonstration that these components underlie behavioral responses to light in such a distant relative of vertebrates.

A passenger boards Amtrak's Hoosier State train on Nov. 6 at a stop in Rensselaer. Tippecanoe County, Lafayette and West Lafayette have agreed to share the costs of operating the line for one year with the stipulation that the service be improved to attract more riders, and generate more revenue.
- Filed Under
On a two-to-one vote on Monday, the Tippecanoe County Board of Commissioners Monday approved a one-year contract to share the costs of operating the Hoosier State train route with six cities and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
The state, county and cities served by the 196-mile passenger rail line between Indianapolis and Chicago agreed in October to pick up the $2.7 million annual cost of running the four-day-a-week train after the federal government stopped funding Amtrak routes shorter than 750 miles.
Combined with Amtrak's three-day-a-week long-distance Cardinal, the ...
