SAN ANGELO, Texas - A San Angelo man is in the Tom Green County Jail awaiting his transfer to prison after being sentenced for sexually assaulting a girl over a period of several years.
Garry Nolan Benoist, 32, was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Judge Jay Weatherby of the 340th District Court.
Tom Green County grand jurors indicted Benoist in May on five sex charges involving a child, including continuous sexual abuse, indecency and assault.
He was booked into the Tom Green County Jail on Jan. 29 and was held in lieu of a $600,000 bond. He bonded out July 19 but was booked back in Oct. 14 after he entered a guilty plea.
The Standard-Times does not identify victims of sexual assault. According to indictments filed in the case, the girl was 13 or younger when the alleged abuse occurred.
San Angelo police Detective Brian Elkins, who signed the sworn court document, spoke with the girl, who told him that starting at age 12 she had been "forced to have sexual intercourse and oral sexual intercourse" with Benoist. According to the complaint, the girl told the detective that when she was younger she was given rewards by the man for sexual behavior.
In the complaint, Elkins reported the girl told him she had been repeatedly sexually abused by the same person for years.
According to the complaint, Benoist told the arresting officer it was something that he should not have done, "being influenced by a minor."
San Angelo attorney Melvin Gray was listed as Benoist's lead counsel. First Assistant District Attorney Allison Palmer prosecuted the case.
Benoist was indicted on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child, continuous sex abuse of a child under 14, indecency with a child through sexual contact and two counts of sexual assault of a child. The counts were grouped into two cases. On the case dealing with the aggravated count, Benoist pleaded guilty and received 25 years in prison. On the second case, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault of a child and received 20 years.
According to court documents, the sentences will run concurrently.
A first-degree felony is punishable by five to 99 years in prison if convicted, and a second-degree felony is punishable by two to 20 years. Each felony also carries a fine up to $10,000.

The Best Of New York Fashion Week's Smaller Shows
So by now, you've probably read all about Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, and Oscar de la Renta and what they're doing for spring. You've seen photo galleries of the big designers' collections, their backstage scenes, their favored beauty looks, their nail art for the season. Maybe you've read random people's thoughts… »

"OK guys, now we are going to practice jumping three feet in the air and catching the ball with one hand then coming down in bounds!"
fair point that
"OK guys, now we are going to practice jumping three feet in the air and catching the ball with one hand then coming down in bounds!"
Woodson wants to play for a contender. He's not looking for the biggest paycheck at this point in his career. The Lions have almost no chance of signing him.
That said, I hope they figure out a way to snake oil him!
As a Lions fan living in Wisconsin, I will not miss feeling all warm and tingly seeing him on the field in a green and gold uniform. I hated that feeling. I just couldn't cheer against Woodson.
I think Mott Children's Hospital has a fundraising job open for him if he's interested in not playing football again.
Could use some help! I think he would make a great addition to there team
You gotta be kidding me.
I would take him over any current Lions defensive back. If we had cap room.
As a Packer fan this just completely ruined my day.
Our defense needs to retain and add championship pieces. Not lose them.
Good, now I don't have to watch Packers games anymore. I watch the Packers because my dog loves the Packers because his name is Charles Woodson. He loves to hear his name. He gets excited.
If this leads to Woodson retiring, or eventually when he does retire, I hope the AD department looks into bringing him back to Michigan in some official capacity.
Brady + Woodson together in New England.
Make it so.
My first thought as well. Do it Bill!
so long as Charles only strips his teammate Tom while Tom's arm is still moving forward (and not after he "tucks" it).
Charles Woodson should go to Denver and get the locker right next to Peyton Manning, so he can display his Heisman Trophy for Peyton to see every day ater practice.
Good. Funny
My favorite player, and will continue to be my favorite player with my newly crowned second favorite team. From the Heisman run in '96 to being the emotional force behind the SB run in 2010, he's been at the center of my relationship with football my whole life. Plus I've volunteered with him, seen him endow a scholarship and fund a hospital. Perhaps the whole Michigan Man thing is overused, but Chuck is the ultimate Michigan Man.
All that having been said, as a Packers fan and sharholder this may well have been for the best as a business decision. That's a pretty huge cap hit for a man pushing 37.
He won it in '97. Also, ever had his wine? Anyone know if its any good?
Derp. Also the Sb was technically in 2011 so I suppose I was at least consistently off.
The Browns desperately need a DB. Woodson would fit in nicely and save them the need of drafting one this year. I can see it now, Woodson returns to Ohio and roams the secondary with Joe Haden. I'm getting ready eyed just thinking about it.
Do not want him to return to Ohio in any way, on any team, in any capacity. He's a Michigan man.
Ooooh I like it!
Hey jim schwatz u see this? This could be good very good
Hey jim schwatz u see this? This could be good very good
To not liking Green Bay. The Patriots see like a logical choice. He's had a decent career....
National Title and Heisman, NFL Defensive MVP and Super Bowl Champ.
How many guys have done this?
Can't be a big number...he will, of course, add NFL HOF to that list before too long. My guess is that less than 10 guys have pulled this off.
EDIT: Did a quick look...is Woodson the only guy to pull this off? He might be...
than see him staining his career playing for the Lions at Fraud Field.
Well he said he wants to play for a super bowl contender...that leaves the lions out.
I'll always love Charles Woodson, a guy who made me feel proud in 1997 to be a MICHIGAN WOLVERINE and someone I can always point to as being representative of the best of the best of what we have to offer.
Come to Seattle. We are very close to a title and you can put us over the top.
OMG pleeeeease let him go to the Lions!
Woodson may have the body of a 25yr old athlete but his agility an speed shows his age...at 37yr old his career unfortunatly is coming to an end, one of the greatest corner and def a hall of fame..i am glad he won a super bowl and has something to show for...i say come to the lions for a yr, we could use his wisdom on the secondary
Come on down to Houston Chuck, we can use you at safety!

- Venue: Aggborough
- Final score:
- Kidderminster Harriers 1 - 1 Lincoln City
4:54pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Final whistle It's over! The oldest gun slinger in town earns a point for Harriers. It looked as though City's heroics might deny them but the veteran goal-getter put all the club's young pretenders into the shade with a fine finish.
4:53pm Sat 18 Feb 12: City fail to clear the ball and veteran goal-getter Guinan slots a right-footed shot into back of net. Incredible!
4:51pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Goal! Steve Guinan scores!
4:50pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Three minutes of time added on. Lee Vaughan wins a corner but Imps bravely defend it.
4:46pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Substitution Double change for Harriers. Guinan and Vincent on for Matt and Storer.
4:45pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Lee Hendrie is having a fine game. He delivers another lovely cross from right which Jamille Matt can't quite control.
4:41pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Ryan Rowe misses a good chance. Lee Hendrie whips in a fine cross from right but at the far post, he heads wide of an open goal.
4:35pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Substitution Former Harrier Simon Russell on for Jefferson Louis.

4:30pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Lee Hendrie wins a free-kick off Tyrone Thompson. It's a soft foul and Harriers can't take advantage when Storer's shot hits the wall.
4:29pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Harriers are hit on the break but Alan Power shoots wide after good work by Almound and Louis.
4:27pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Nick Wright heads into back of net but it's ruled out because he pushed Peter Bore out of the way.
4:26pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Louis Almond tries his luck from distance but it's well wide.
4:23pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Ryan Rowe lashes a 30-yard effort off target as Harriers counter. Not a bad effort.
4:21pm Sat 18 Feb 12: The referee is annoying the crowd with his over-fussy display. He awards visitors a free-kick for a foul on Louis Almond that looked okay. Harriers deal with it well.
4:20pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Substitution Lincoln change 61 - Richard Pacquette on for Nialle Rodney.
4:19pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Kyle Storer flashes a low 20-yard effort just wide.
4:16pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Kyle Storer tries to take the game by the scruff of its neck. He wins ball on right wing and sends in a low raking cross. Ryan Rowe can't connect.
4:11pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Lee Hendrie tries to release Ryan Rowe but his pass is too pacey and it goes out for a GK to Imps.
4:10pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Ryan Rowe catches Imps skipper John Nutter while challenging for 50/50 ball. No booking
4:07pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Jamille Matt heads wide. He sees off defender to meet Mickey Demetriou's cross but nods it wide.
3:48pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Half time That's the break. Harriers have monopolised possession but simply can't find a way through hard-working Lincoln. Let's hope the arrival of Ryan Rowe will give them an extra spark.
3:45pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Yellow card Tyrone Thompson gets booked for a challenge on Lee Hendrie. Looks harsh for the Imps man.
3:44pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Substitution Marvin Johnson comes off with a knock in 44th minute and is replaced by Ryan Rowe.
3:43pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Ryan Rowe is preparing to come on.

3:36pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Marvin Johnson looks up for it and 25-yards he lashes in a left-footed shot which was only a fraction wide. He's looked up for it.
3:33pm Sat 18 Feb 12: The attendance today is 2,081, with 172 away fans.
3:30pm Sat 18 Feb 12: It's been quiet since goal and Mickey Demetriou accidentally slides into Marvin Johnson in front of the technical area. No harm done for either player though.

3:20pm Sat 18 Feb 12: That goal was completely against of play and Harriers are once again monopolising the ball.

3:18pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Marvin Johnson swings in a lovely cross from right but Jamille Matt heads wide of near post.
3:13pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Joe Anyon denies Dan Bradley with a fine save. Kyle Storer wins loose ball and passes to fellow midfielder, who loops a first-time effort goalwards. It look destined to fly into top left corner but the keeper flings himself at ball and flicks it over bar.
3:12pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Nick Wright shoots across face of goal with right-footed shot from 20-ish yards. First shot of game in 10th minute.
3:07pm Sat 18 Feb 12: Final whistle Lincoln look keen to try and stop Harriers playing and the hosts haven't got into their stride yet. Marvin Johnson sends in a decent left wing cross but keeper Anyon takes it well.
3:03pm Sat 18 Feb 12: It's been a scrappy start so far. Imps win a corner but Harriers cope with it.

Buckeye Candies
If there's a food combination I love most, it's got to be peanut butter and chocolate. (Although pretzels and caramel run a close second.) Which is why it breaks my heart a little that I don't like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. At all. The peanut butter always crumbles weirdly and has the texture of powder, which makes me think of artificial ingredients and preservatives. I've never even dared to look at the ingredient list or the label. So, when it comes to peanut butter and chocolate candy, I tend to err on the side of caution and make my own.
I love Alicia Silverstone's vegan chocolate peanut butter cups that have become a staple in my kitchen, and I've recently added buckeye candies to the rotation. This is one of the simplest recipes in the world to follow and, as a bonus, it gives a nod to college football and all the Ohio State fans out there. The peanut butter mixture is mixed by hand, rolled into balls, and dipped in melted chocolate, leaving just enough filling exposed to make sure that the candies end up resembling the nut of the buckeye, the state tree of Ohio. xo
Buckeye Candies
From Martha's American Food, by Martha Stewart
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (not the natural variety)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 cups confectioner's sugar
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment. In a medium bowl, beat peanut butter and butter with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Gradually mix in confectioner's sugar in batches, kneading with your hands to form a smooth dough, about 10 minutes.
Using the palms of your hands, roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and chill in refrigerator, about 2 hours or up to overnight.
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth; stir in vanilla. Working with one at a time, insert a toothpick into chilled peanut-butter balls and dip into melted chocolate, leaving the top bare. Return to lined baking sheet until set, about 15 minutes. Smooth tops to cover holes from toothpicks. Buckeyes can be refrigerated in a single layer in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)

How devilish(ly good)!ReplyDelete
I had always heard about 'buckeyes' so decided to tried at my son`s birthday. The peanut butter is a bit much for me but my son and grandson loved them and he would eat them until he was sick if allowed.ReplyDelete
Jack at Bergen commercial refrigeration installation
Did you know that Skippy's makes a natural peanut butter that looks, feels, and tastes JUST like the hydrogenated garbage we all know and love? It's sweetened with honey and contains no weird ingredients. Now we can all have that "fake" texture that works best for recipes like this without sacrificing health!ReplyDeleteReplies
Had no idea, thanks for the tip! xDelete

So, we're now card-carrying members of Club GreenSock. After a lot of hopping around from Tweener to Fuse Kit and lots in between, we'd pretty much settled on TweenMax (and its siblings) as the tweening engine of choice a little while ago. The release of v11 has even more treats in store, particularly with the bonus classes.

Adventures in Lip-sync: Part 1
Recently I've been working on an animation for the pharma division of Harte-Hanks. It's in our classic MZ-stylee and it's been fun doing some old-school 2d Flash animation. Zoe's given me some great illustrations to work with and Charlie's imagination has been running riot with karate-chopping leaps and flabby men on treadmills. Lots of tweens, lots of Graphic symbols, lots and lots of keyframes. I've also gotten to play with CS4′s new IK bones for some of the sequences too but that's a whole other post.
From the outset though, I've been procrastinating about lip-syncing the narrator's voice-over with the character. My rationale was that any edits to the timing would mean re-doing work… always fun, so best leave it til last, but really it just seemed like it'd be an arduous time-consuming manual task. In all the years I've been doing animation in Flash I've never found an easy way of doing this. Animation is a craft and it seems the only solution to most tasks is put some time and love into it. That said, code is your friend (and a cruel, cruel mistress) that has often helped avoid the monkey work.
So I went looking for a pre-existing solution… First port of call, as always, was "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams (if you don't own it, get it!). Then some Googling that rapidly disappeared down the rabbit hole of visemes, phonemes and natural language simulation dissertations. Whew! No easy answers there either.
At the last Bristol FUG, I had a good chat with master-animator Dave Cropley (from Evans & Finch) about how he does it. He pointed me towards software called Magpie that seems to be the standard in the 3d animation world. Nothing seemed to exist in the Flash/ActionScript world though so I decided to roll my own.
Here's how I did it…

84 Comments on The Revolution Will Not Be Polite: The Issue of Nice versus Good
I enjoyed this post IMMENSELY. I am so unbelievably happy you wrote this. I feel like niceness gets used as a veil to hide all sorts of racist/sexist/other-ist bullshit these days – more so than previously perhaps when it wasn't as taboo to be openly bigoted. I feel like the rise of political correctness has meant some of that bigotry has just started wearing the camo-fatigues of niceness.
Also I am so incredibly pleased fuckhead is on the list of non-oppressive insults.
Great post, and interesting list, although I remember reading a discussion awhile back about how douche was oprressive because a douche is what a woman uses to clean her vagina. Also greasy fucker feels classist and a close cousin of the term redneck, as it's makes me think of people who can't afford shampoo or have to work jobs where their going to get greasy (mechanics, fast food workers etc.). Brat has ageist conotations. And considering the etymology of the term fucker, how far is it removed from slut shaming?
Which makes me wonder if it is possible for any insult to not be opressive, in some manor or other? Or more to the point, the importance of context. For example is it oppressive if a woman calls a male polititician who supports sexist legislation a "cunt" or is it subversive?
Oddly enough, this post strikes me as thematically close to the first post I wrote for my blog, in which I talked about the issues I had with political correctness, how it too often becomes political censorship. Not too mention how it can often be a moot point, given how easily bigots can adopt politically correct terminology.
In any case, I have personal experience with nice, polite people who actually were, it turned out, lyeing, opressive assholes. Don't want to go into the details here, but I totally get where this post is coming from. One of them did a rather nice favor for me once, only to blatently lie to my face about one of my friends. It's really hard to describe in words, the frustration and confusion that results when this happens.
yeah – with risk of being overly clinical, i tend to get pretty sick of insults about asses, and with connotations various practices with them(i.e. happyass, jackass, assface. I actually love having my ass fucked, sniffed and licked – and i love sniffing, licking, sucking and sticking things in other peoples. I think arses are awesome and beautiful organs, and i don't need to feel shamed about it!
I get the need for non oppressive insults (seriously), but i think that the practice of linking people that we don't like to things which are generally considered dirty or wrong is always going to end up offending people.
Likewise, while i agree that idea that douching is a necessity is oppressive, i also don't think its good to lump the shame of that onto those who already feel that oppression (because those are the people who are going to be hurt by these insults – its not like some patriarchal guy is going to be actually upset by this. Calling they patriarchal is probably going to upset them a lot more…
likewise, bastard as an insult is a slur against anybody whose mom isn't married to their dad, but it's one I can't seem to break the habit of using.
Great post, links two of my favorite things to read about on the internet – social justice, and mental biases/blind spots.
This is definitely a blind spot I'll have to watch out for in myself in future.
I think the 'culture valuing niceness actively preserves fucked up power structures' line ought to be drawn out more explicitly.
It's not that you violate cultural norms because you ran out of other options, it is that those norms are part of the problem.
I've also heard "asshole" criticized as homophobic in its roots. Even "fucker" suggests slut-shaming, doesn't it?
I think that while this post is basically dead on, non-oppressive insults are really hard to come by.
This is brilliant! I shall share it widely.
Privileged people are able to be "nice" because they've got other people to do their dirty work of enforcing their privilege for them, so they don't have to struggle to maintain their position.
Struggling, especially struggling against those who want to take advantage of you, is inherently not-nice, and if you don't have a power structure to do it for you — that is, if you don't have privilege — you have to do it yourself. And be seen as "not nice."
(Of course, projecting an aura of niceness can sometimes fool people into thinking you must have a power structure behind you, even if they can't see it.)
totally! this is spot on. the whole "you can't be angry" thing is definitely a way to keep people pushed down. oppression naturally makes people who are pushed down angry! anger arises when a person is violated. i'd say oppression pretty much fucking qualifies for that lol!
This made me think of a line from 'The Big Sleep' which rather encapuuslates that:
"But Eddie Mars wouldn't do that, would he, Silver-Wig? He never killed anybody. He just hires it done." For those not familiar, a gangster's wife is claiming that her husband is a nice man, who would never kill anyone.
We are an individualistic society. We value the individual and thus completely blame the individual for any wrongdoings or failures. While each individual's experience may differ, we can't ignore the systemic oppression that privileges some and disadvantages others, and the effect it can have on individual lives. But because each individual's experience may differ, we cannot assume as someone's experiences or motivations based on what we perceive to be their identity or know to be their identity. I guess what I'm saying is oppression and privilege is fucking complicated on the interpersonal level, and a lot of that is masked in politeness.
Rachael, I mean this in a totally non-stalking non-harassing way…
But every time I read one of your posts I fall a little more in love with you.
Reblogging this.
I'm fond of epithets that insult either intelligence (avoiding anything referencing the actually mentally disabled) or maturity. "Moron", "idiot", "fool", "nitwit", "twerp", "baby", and so on are all classics, and they all sound fantastic when spat at someone who deserves them.
Otherwise, I'll skip the one-word name-calling and simply explicate in detail what I think of their attitude, behavior or ability to form a cogent argument.
Anyhow — wonderful, wonderful blog post. I just tied into it with someone last week about the dreaded "tone argument", and this is a perfect articulation of my thoughts on the subject.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so sick of being told we have to play nice with the people oppressing us. That somehow, magically, if we curtsy and use pretty words they'll suddenly see the error of their ways. You know? I'm not begging ANYone to treat me like a fucking human being. Now social networking the shit out of this post! <3
This post was shared by a disability advocate friend. We've been having conversations in and around the autism community about the differences you're talking about, with some asking for civility and others asking for justice. Your post explains it perfectly.
The problem of niceness versus justice is especially hard within the autistic community, mainly because many of us have gotten social skills therapy which placed emphasis on manners, civility, compliance, and basically just maintaining niceness in all communication. What with a lot of autistic people's "rule-bound" tendencies (including mine), the result is we may not feel secure in our right to express anger/uncivil sentiments, since we weren't taught by our concerned parents and well-meaning special ed teachers that we had that right. Of course, everyone has the right to nix politeness at times; it would be great if social therapy included a more thorough discussion of when those times are.
I definitely don't speak for everyone, but this has been my experience, anyway.
Awesome post!
Great post! I wanted to add as well that being 'nice' is often actually a choice that a person has to make at their own expense. Often standing up for oneself requires actions which might seem 'mean' but the alternative which often goes unacknowledged is to be 'mean' to yourself by failing to protect your own space/self worth/whatever it may be.
This can also happen in the context of not wanting to be personally 'mean' to someone, and therefore allowing your own systemic oppression. A good example of this is of a woman being hit on in a shared space, in which rather than being 'mean', rejecting the advances and potentially hurting someone's feelings, she leaves the space (or stops riding that bus or going to that coffee shop etc), often failing to realize that someone was in fact hurt in that transaction: herself!
Learning to take care of ourselves even at the cost of being 'mean' has to start being seen as a small step toward fighting oppression!
I disagree with the author: Being good and being nice are indeed related. The missing link is kindness. Politeness is the form of kindness without the substance, while pursuit of justice without politeness is the substance without the form. Injustice and insult are both unkind because they disrespect the basic dignity and humanity of the target. You can't successfully fight for justice without placing the needs of the marginalized front and center — and you also can't successfully fight for justice without somehow persuading the privileged to consider and respect the needs of the marginalized, and that requires the ability to show empathy for the privileged as well as the marginalized, even as you make no bones about your wanting to eliminate the difference in privilege. Dignity is not zero-sum. Ideally, we want the marginalized to enjoy all the same basic rights and dignity that the privileged possess, not to reduce the privileged to the level of the marginalized. The only thing justice threatens to take away from the privileged is that which they have unjustly acquired at the expense of the marginalized, and which they have no excuse for claiming entitlement to. It is not unkind to say you intend to do something about that, unless you turn it into an attack on the person rather than an attack against the unjust privilege. You can say, "I respect you, I support your rights and your dignity — and I'm not going to let you treat anybody else like a nobody, period."
Hi Catbus, in response to this and your 3rd post, I think that the author agrees that the effectiveness of responding to bigoted jerks with personal attacks is up for debate.
The point of the article is to remind oppressees that you do not need to be 100% polite in calling out someone who is 100% wrong – especially if the alternative is saying nothing at all. This is something I whole-heartedly agree with.
Ultimately, I want to get my point across. If I find myself diluting my message and finding excuses to not speak up in order to make sure I am 100% in the right, I am only doing myself a disservice. While I agree with you on a theoretical level, in practice, holding such a mindset is not helpful – which I believe is what the author is trying to point out.
Word to everything you said. Thanks for writing this.
LOL how did you miss out class under your list of oppresive heirarchies in the first paragraph. We live in capitalism ffs.
Without class analysis, to keep critiques of power firmly entrenched in a class perspective, you will come up with well meaning but ultimately flawed liberalism.
I'm very happy with this article, and in fact, I think I'll forward it to administration at my high school. Maybe they can learn something about the environment they're trying to create there before my cousin graduates.
This is a very good article and I hope that it and others like it can make even the smallest difference.
I like the spirit of the original post, but Rachael confuses sufficiency with necessity and so the evidence she offers in defense of her central claim does not actually support that claim.
Here's what I mean:
That it's possible to be both morally bad and very polite does not prove that politeness and morality aren't related – it only shows that politeness isn't *sufficient* by itself for a person to be moral.
The rest of her examples work the same way. She supports the claim that politeness is not sufficient for morality – not the claim that politeness is not necessary for morality, or that morality and politeness aren't related – which seem to be her stated views.
I just published a somewhat careful response to this article on my own blog.
I really enjoyed reading it and I think this is an important topic – thanks!
Interesting point. My only (tentative) argument would be that we should look at the term "related." From a purely statistical point of view, if politeness and morality exist at about the same rate when one is not present as when both are present, they are not related; that is, if politeness is just as likely to exist, or exists in the same quantity (yes, i know they're not the same) when morality is not present as it does when it is, then politeness and morality are not related. Obviously, this takes a lot of research to prove, especially since we can't exactly measure units of politeness or morality, but my general experience, and that of others, is that politeness exists frequently when morality does not. I cannot speak as firmly as to whether morality frequently exists when politeness does not, but this also seems to be the case. So, I think i have to agree with Rachael.
I think that "oppression is not primarily about hurt feelings", because as you say it's about rights and opportunities.
Hurt feelings are in there too though. When I hear someone — who I know is not going to assault me, and doesn't otherwise have power over me — say "faggot" or "that's gay", that hurts me emotionally.
An instance of hurt feelings is not sufficient to label something oppression, of course. These instances are part of a lifelong pattern which happens to me because other people like me were already being oppressed for sexual orientation before I was born. But I just wanted to note that hurt feelings from microaggressions happen to be part of what makes it oppressive.
djdghfdsj how am I finding this only now?
Great post, yes, thank you!
I meant to add (though it might have been said already; I haven't read all the comments yet!) that niceness should not be confused or conflated with kindness –
Like, you explain very clearly that some people equate the 'meanness' of using a racist slur and the 'meanness' of pointing out someone is racist but that's wrongheaded – which, yes! – but also, telling someone they don't want to hear & that might hurt them doesn't have to be characterized as mean, for one, and even if it is, it doesn't follow from then than *not* pointing things out (the "nice", polite, non-confrontational thing to do), for example, would be the opposite of mean, aka kind. Being nice is not being kind, and sometimes telling someone something that is confrontational and might hurt *is* the kind thing to do. I know this post started from a place where kindness isn't really assumed in the picture (situations in which insults are required, etc), but still.
To sum up, the revolution will not be polite, nice != good, and nice != kind either.
I try to be kind, but I'm rarely nice in the American sense of demure, non-confrontational politeness. /ramble
This was a joy to read. Glad I got forwarded an excerpt from it and clicked the link to read the rest — I now have a new favorite blog!
This is one of those articles that is so perfect, I was grinning from ear to ear, I printed it out and will carry it with me every time I get into this argument with people…which…has been frequently! You explain the situation so clearly and I really appreciate it. And no, I'm not just saying that to be nice! Thank you! This is important.
Warmly, Dr D.
What about adding "sleeze" to column A?
One distinction I think it's important to draw is that between being rude and being confrontational. We absolutely *should* be confrontational in the face of injustice/oppression — both to remind bystanders what injustice/oppression actually looks like and to remind oppressive people that they're going to be fought against rather than let slide. Rudeness is a different kettle of fish. Confronting injustice *is not rude* in and of itself, but if it's done with gratuitous rudeness it opens the door to all the old derailments as well as the occasional person who is legitimately put off rather than just derailing. Sure, it happens — my immediate reaction if I hear a racist joke is likely to be "knock that shit off" or something equally not-nice, but better to strive for something emphatic but not-rude like "knock that racism off right now!"
sg – I don't think that's what Rachel meant about "hurt feelings".
You have every right to declare that insults like "faggot" contribute to oppression.
However, if you call out whoever's insulting you, by saying "You're a homophobe", that person does not have the right to reply
with "I am not, that's not nice! You're oppressing me now, and I'm hurt"
Oppressors derail with "that's not nice" and "I'm not going to support [cause] anymore because you're mean and hurtful"
They honestly believe that "You're sexist/racist/ableist/homophobic" is worse than [$slur], because society burdens the marginalised, with the attitude that truthfully laying out *why* a word/action/attitude is oppressive is as bad as actual oppression!
Ugly has been removed (she got more than one contact about that, and she was awesomely open to it). This might be worth an ETA here?
I really enjoyed this article so thank you for writing. I value social harmony and not hurting feelings a lot, and I thought that's where people were coming from as well. When you put it in the context of systemic oppression, I get it a little more.
I'm also grateful for Catbus' points because they're very much in line with where I would like to be as a human being and thought Catbus did a wonderful job of articulating them.
Thanks for the great read and greater discussion
Ahhh, so many things to say on this. We've all been guilty of mouth off BS at someone at some point.
What we need to be advocating is tact, not niceness. Tact is about speaking the truth in love. It means avoiding being an insensitive jerk, but also saying what you mean. Once upon a time, manners were a form of tact, but niceness came along and stole them.
This is very well (I won't say nicely) done. Can kindness or empathy (but not pity!) serve as an alternate to goodness?
Your argument seems to be that it's OK for you to abuse people who don't share your opinions, but it's not OK for them to abuse you. I can't say I agree.
I read this post months ago and felt like a bunch of things I'd been trying to figure out clicked into place. This post, along with a lot of follow-up conversations with other excellent social justice-oriented folks, has made my life better, in that I feel much better about calling people on their shit.
Just insulting the bad people won't really make a revolution, it'll just probably make them feel bad but continue doing it anyway. I personally think that the revolution SHOULD be polite, but not kind, as in you'll tell them about it, make them learn why these things are bad, and then make them stop doing that. Calling someone racist will just make them go "Pfft, no I'm not" and continue doing that anyway. You can say that how many times you want and it still won't change their opinion.
P.S. This is just me, but it REALLY hurts me when I try to ask POC about racism and they say "You can't help us because you'll never understand us. You're white.". So both POC and racists ignore my efforts to help them.
I both agree and disagree with this.
It is just as important to be nice as it is important to be good. Social harm can come in a variety of manners and emotional harm is something too. However, no one should demand you to be nice to them (and thus use it as a control mechanism), and politeness as a means of communication should not be used to veil threats or anything (which is why I disagree with the use of insults at all, oppressive or otherwise, though I agree with being non-oppressive, they are separate issues just as niceness and goodness are separate).
However, aside from that, this article raises a number of good and important points, such as how 'niceness' is manipulated or abused, which is why no one should demand niceness, if it exists, it should be given.
Rude revolutionaries don't win over the populace. If you're talking to someone who's flagrantly a terrible person, and is intentionally re-enforcing social discrimination, then sure…insult away. But yelling "fuck the patriarchy" at nearby strangers when you hear them default to masculine pronouns doesn't make your movement any friends.
Typically, when I get accused of using a "tone" argument, I'm not making an argument at all; I'm really just saying, "You're being rude, and this conversation has become unpleasant. Please be more civil, or I'm not interested in talking to you any more."
Let me put it this way: Everybody has "that friend." The one who lacks a filter between brain and mouth, shoves his opinion into everything, and says whatever comes to mind, often offending those around him. However, he likes to describe himself as "honest" and "frank," and as someone who "tells it like it is," dubiously spinning his lack of social etiquette into a virtue. Well….we, as revolutionaries, need to carefully avoid being that guy. That guy kills movements as fast as conversations.

A PET study is a diagnostic test used to evaluate blood flow to the heart. During the test, a small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein. A special camera, called a gamma camera, detects the radiation released by the tracer to produce computer images of the heart. Combined with a medication, the test can help determine if there is adequate blood flow to the heart during activity versus at rest. The medication simulates exercise for patients unable to exercise on a treadmill or stationary cycle.
The test is also used to:
Please bring a copy of all of your medications, including over-the-counter medications and supplements that you routinely take, to the test appointment.
Please follow these guidelines about taking your medications the day of the test.
Medications with caffeine: DO NOT take any over-the-counter medication that contains caffeine (such as Excedrin®, Anacin®, diet pills and NoDoz®) for 24 hours before the test. Ask your physician, pharmacist or nurse if you have questions about other medications that may contain caffeine.
If you have asthma: Your physician will tell you NOT to take theophylline (Theo-dur) for 48 hours before the test. Please plan to bring your asthma inhaler medication to the test.
If you have diabetes: If you take insulin to control your blood sugar, ask your physician how much insulin you should take the day of the test. Your physician may tell you to take only half of your usual morning dose and to eat a light meal four hours before the test. If you take pills to control your blood sugar, do not take your medication until after the test is complete. Bring your diabetes medications with you so you can take it when the test is complete. Do not take your diabetes medication and skip a meal before the test.
If you own a glucose monitor, bring it with you to check your blood sugar levels before and after your test. If you think your blood sugar is low, tell the lab personnel immediately. Plan to eat and take your blood sugar medication following your test.
If you take heart medications: DO NOT take the following heart medications on the day of the test unless your physician tells you otherwise, or unless it is needed to treat chest discomfort the day of the test:
Your physician may also ask you to stop taking other heart medications on the day of your test. If you have any questions about your medications, ask your physician. Do not discontinue any medication without first talking with your physician.
The appointment will take approximately three to four hours.
After the cardiologist reviews your test, the results will go into your electronic medical record. Your referring physician will have access to the results and will contact you to discuss them.

Hi, has anyone ever played this Mozart Sonata K 309 ?
what do you feel when you play this piece and what is the mood to capture ?
How do you capture the mood and the feel of this piece, especially the 1st and 2nd movement?
I just don't understand What Mozart is trying to say when he composed this( in 1777 in Manheim)
and I have a very hard time trying to potray its character.
Note wise, I understand this is a majestic, orchestral piece but what sort of feeling is this?
Can anyone share their thoughts and experience on this?
Mozart Sonata Help?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Indiana gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence apologized Thursday after he compared the Supreme Court's health care ruling to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"My remarks ... were thoughtless," the Republican nominee said in a teleconference with reporters in Indiana. "I never intended to minimize any tragedy our nation has faced, and I apologize."
Pence made the remarks while speaking to other Republican members of the U.S. House in a closed-door meeting in Washington shortly after the court issued its ruling Thursday.
Pence never directly acknowledged during the teleconference that his remarks were in reference to Sept. 11, but two people who attended the meeting in Washington told The Associated Press that Pence likened the ruling to Sept. 11. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was confidential.
Pence was asked several times during his phone call with reporters to explain exactly what he had said, but he declined to do so. Instead, he called it "an unfortunate statement."
Pence's comments were first reported by Politico.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg chided Pence, saying it "goes far beyond the bounds of common decency. To compare our legislative and judicial process to a terrorist attack is deeply disturbing and wrong."
Associated Press writer Charles Wilson contributed to this report from Indianapolis.

The brain is a muscle like any other. Willpower is a resource that gets depleted over the course of the day. The stress of our daily commutes, personal relationships, and work demands prevent us from being at our most productive.
That's why we developed bandu, a watch that gives you time to slow down, take a moment, and prepare your best efforts. Built by a neuroscientist and engineers, bandu alerts you to listen to music, play a game, call a friend, meditate or stretch. We show you what works to reduce your stress.
bandu is a named a God at DEMO 2012!
How bandu works
bandu measures the autonomic nervous system, which is associated with the effects of stress including perspiration, respiration, and cardiology. The current version monitors your skin conductance, movement, and temperature. When you become stressed, bandu alerts to you to take a break. You can listen to a favorite song or play a fun game. You can even call a trusted friend, just stand up to stretch or even meditate. The results are shown right on your smartphone in real-time so you can monitor your stress level, see when it rises, and determine the people, places, and things that help you feel better. And over time, bandu automatically learns what works.
Our Smartphone App
Our Story
We've been working hard to build bandu over the last three years after meeting in a class at MIT. We realized that despite all of the technologies available for biofeedback, none alert you to the need to find peace and quiet in small moments of your daily life. We're now participating in two accelerators RockHealth at Harvard Medical School and MassChallenge to bring bandu to your wrist.
The role of stress on life, work, and play
Stress is a survival instinct. When something feels like life or death - a big test, a major presentation, a costly game - that's how your body is feeling. And during those moments it's difficult to think straight. Stress affects your short-term memory, your long-term memory, and your attention. We know that stress can also become a medical problem and makes symptom worse for conditions as varied as post-traumatic stress, panic disorder, heart disease, asthma, irritible bowel syndrome, even fertility.
Our Work Until Now
Aruba prototype
Bali prototype, Cayman prototype, and bandu
We are ready for manufacturing with your support!
We've built three generations of prototypes that connect with the iPhone and Android phones.
- bandu has been built to take advantage of existing components for mass manufacturing
- Our team draws on extensive experiences and key mentors in the Boston scientific, engineering, and medical communities
- We've tested the various materials, capabilities, and data produced by bandu
- From firmware to software to analytics, we've written and optimized thousands of lines of code
Hardware takes time to get right
We're big fans of prototyping and rapid deployments. Our biggest challenge in hardware development comes in instituting a low-volume rapid design cycle while still striving for economies of scale in larger volumes. If there's a problem with one component, the whole production run could be lost or require a recall. With each production run comes new risks associated with every component and the system as a whole.
Manufacturing will be staged
To mitigate this risk we're slowly ramping up manufacturing. We'll deliver the first batch of bandu in limited editions over the coming months at different prize levels. During this phase there may be subtle changes in how bandu looks and functions as we optimize our design for larger builds. This is usually the part of hardware development you don't see. We will be open and honest about the challenges we face each step of the way. bandu is unlike any watch ever created. It requires precise measurements to know when you need to take a step back. We will ensure that bandu is strong and agile as we bring the price down to something a large number of people can afford.
1. What does bandu measure?
We are developing bandu to measure the autonomic nervous system, the key bodily system associated with the effects of stress including perspiration, respiration, and cardiology. bandu currently measures skin conductance, temperature, and motion, and we are always developing ways of adding increasing measurements to bandu's on-board intelligence.
2. What smartphones is bandu compatible with?
iPhone and Android
3. Does bandu require connectivity?
No, bandu works independently of the app and is able to store data for you to view later on your smartphone or tablet.
4. How does bandu work when I am exercising?
bandu measures temperature and movement to make adjustments for exercise.

Again, I haven't made a single one of these. While Diane did a great job showing them on a variety of shapes and sizes, I don't think any one of them would look good on me. Maybe next year.

I have several of the patterns but have made only two. I'll need to take a look at Vogue 1224 the next time they are on sale. I love the maxi versions!
------Erin in Dallas
Every year I look forward to this review. Great looking garments and great reviews. It certainly a good source of motivation to take a second look at the patterns I passed up last year. I made two and plan to make Vogue 1220 this spring. Thanks for compiling this information.
------My Blog: http://themahoganystylist.blogspot.com
I have made six out of the ten patterns and have two more of the remaining patterns in my stash. Very cool.
How about a Best Men's Patterns list? Or aren't there enough of those to make such a list worthwhile?
Love this article!

India takes on Bangladesh in the third ODI at Dhaka with the series already under their grasp ater a memorable victory in the previous ODI. Bangladesh have their pride ate stake and the daunting prospect of going down 0-3 to a second string Indian side will be a matter of great concern for the home side. Indian will look to go second in the ICC ranking with a win in Dhaka today and hence the encounter is not a dead rubber as it is made out to be.
The Bangladeshis began the tournament hoping to give their countrymen something to cheer about after a series of losses at home. But things did not pan out well for Bangla tigers as some hopeless batting coupled with a mediocre bowling (barring the last match) attack left a lot to be desired. They come into the last ODI under immense pressure with failing to score a paltry score of 108 in the last match. Bangladesh's problem is more that of mind set rather than cricketing skills with several key players underperforming and wilting under pressure. The only positive so far for the home team has been the emergence of young Taskin Ahmed whose five wickets haul went completely unnoticed under the Bangladeshis batting catastrophe. They will be hoping for another fine performance by their bowlers that saw them bowl out a quality side for 107.
The Indians on the other hand led by a resurgent Suresh Raina are firing on all cylinders. A memorable victory in the last ODI which saw one of the finest individual performances in Stuart Binny gave the fans a lot to cheer about. Mohit Sharma has been an important figure for the Indians and their batting has been boosted by their batting mainstay Ajinkya Rahane. The fans will be hoping for another good show from their team and a whitewash does loom large for the Bangladesh.

When debugging, some of you may have noticed that looking at a managed callstack looks a little different then a native one. One of the big differences is that you don't see the parameters that are passed to the function. So what can we do about that?
So the first choice that we have is to try looking at the output from !dumpstackobjects and seeing if we got lucky and the parameter that we are interested in was pushed onto the stack. One thing that helps with this is if you are using the clr10\sos.dll that ships with the debugger package (which only works against .NET 1.0 and 1.1), you can run !clrstack -a and it will combine the output of these two commands and sort them so you can see what stack objects are associated with which frame on the callstack.
If that doesn't work, then we need to try to look at making a change and having the problem happen again. .NET checks for two things before removing this information to save on space and performance. So we can change either of them in order to get the parameters to show up with !clrstack. Our choices are:
The first option is pretty straight forward. For the second one, you can get more information here. But basically you just create a text file in the same directory where your assembly is located that has the same name as your assembly but .ini instead of .exe or .dll. Then in the file, you just put these lines:
[.NET Framework Debugging Control]
Then to see this additional information in a debugger, you can run !clrstack -p to see parameters, -l to see locals, -a to see everything, etc.
