How do I convince my son he needs to get in his car seat?
My son is 28 months and he refuses to willingly get into his car seat so I can buckle him in. We have tried to explain to him the reasoning behind why he has to be in his "big boy" seat. And we have also pointed out to him that even mommy and daddy have to wear their seatbelts. I am completely against traveling in a vehicle with my son not in a car seat. We have also tried bribbing him but that also doesnt get us anywhere. Most of the time we end up having to force him into the car seat and struggle to strap him in. Im scared that we might hurt him by having to do this and I am wondering if anybody else has gone through this and how did they overcome it??

i am against bartering and bargaining with a child. i think these are ineffective tools thats merely mask displays of power. it confuses children and leads them to belive they r in control; which leads to the kind of power struggles u r having now. sorry, if u the boss, then u r the boss, and ur child needs to know this. some things are NOT up for debate. safety is the boss's descision. what u eat for snack can be the child descision.posted 11/15/2010 by bintmont2
it's a phase, and he has contro lover the situtation, put him in it and leave him in it...I pick my battles with my son, I let him win some, this would not be one, he has no choice, and he has to do it...think of all the stuff we had to do as kids that we didn't want to....don't give him this controlposted 11/14/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Opaline Gourami shifts colors
I've had an Opaline Gourami that's thrived in my tank for quite some time now. It's lived peacefully with other fish, and hasn't acted aggressive at all. Today I bought a Pink Kissing Gourami. They're both approximately the same size. Immediately upon adding the Pink Kissing Gourami to the tank, the Opaline Gourami has changed colors and has become very dark. There was no aggression between the two fish; in fact, the Pink Kissing Gourami seems completely oblivious to the Opaline Gourami. The Opaline Gourami usually spends its time in a certain part of the tank (and it is not territorial), and since the Pink Gourami has started to stay there, it seems to have been keeping out of its way for some reason. I've read threads and forums, and most color changes result to either stress or mating. I believe that the Opaline Gourami is a female (it has a more round, small dorsal fin) and the Pink Kissing Gourami is a male (it has a longer, more pointed dorsal fin). It'd be of great help if somebody could help me with this.
Kissing Gourami is likely threatening the more peaceful Opaline Gourami. IF they are the same size now, it won't be long and the kissing Gourami will be much larger. Probably not the best choice of additions.
now i've discovered that my opaline gourami is acting territorial. it's chasing around the kissing gourami and the tiger barb when they've wandered to his area of the tank. if i give it time, will it simmer down/will the new fish learn to stay away from the area?
what size tank is this in? and how many of those barbs do you have?
also, the opaline gourami has changed back to its regular color now.

Main Library, Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City: Photo Essay
Road Journals blog—I debate whether it's easier as a travel photographer to get the feel of an unfamiliar place and capture it in pictures, or to photograph someplace familiar and strip away preconceptions to portray a fresh and balanced view.
Salt Lake City is rooted in the history of western expansion and settlement, just as I am rooted to Salt Lake City through grandparents, experiences, and my own history.
But while many observers have been taciturn about it, Salt Lake City has experienced a revitalization, becoming over recent years a city reaching out to the future. It is techno-savvy, sustainable, and hip.
I find the curved glass and steel of the new downtown library to be an icon of this change. My assignment for VIA took me on a tour of a changing Salt Lake City, with restaurants, specialty shops, and unexpected places populated by young, aware people attracted here by well-paying technical jobs and mountain recreation.
There were some challenges. While not admitting to my age, I owned many of the vinyl LPs for sale at Slowtrain when they were new, and some of the kitschy used stuff for sale at Retro Rose looked like it could have once inhabited my home. I was worried the people who run these places would see this photographer as a relic, but I found people who were cool without being cold. We shared laughter and mutual interests.
Another challenge is the need to take photos for a spring issue of the magazine two weeks before Christmas. Holiday decorations were everywhere, and I spent considerable effort rearranging and selecting angles that hid as much as possible. So I invite you to play a game of "Where's Waldo?" to find any uncovered ornaments that might be adorning the city.
This assignment allowed me to experience the changing face of Salt Lake City that I only suspected was there. Too often when you live near a place, you continue to go to your old haunts and don't step out to explore. This time I did, and I now plan on returning to many of these locales.
One other change in me is that I had never before associated a frosty martini with Ché Guevara. These days, though, it's entirely natural.
Photographer Scot Zimmerman shot images to accompany Nino Padova's story about Salt Lake City that appeared in VIA.

U2's Bono and The Edge are set to be appointed to the board of electric guitar giants Fender.
The company – creators of the iconic Stratocaster and Telecaster ranges – is nearly 70 years old and is seeking to reinvent itself for the digital age.
According to The Irish Times, part of Fender's plans include naming Bono and the Edge from U2 to its board, both brought in by Fender's majority owner, TPG Growth.
"I believe that guitars are here to stay and, far from digital technology being their death knell, I think it throws up some new ways to power creativity and give people greater access to the huge potential of the electric guitar," the Edge wrote in an email.
Artists as diverse as Hank Marvin from pioneering British rockers, The Shadows, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton and Status Quo have had career-long associations with either the Strat or the Tele.
The Edge also noted that while recording several of U2's greatest hits, including Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride (in the Name of Love), he used classic Fender guitars.

MADRID (AP) -- NBA prospect Kyle Singler has no regrets over his decision to spurn the Detroit Pistons to play basketball in Europe.
The Real Madrid forward, Detroit's second-round draft pick, is one of the few players not to return after the NBA lockout ended.
The former Duke forward says while the Pistons pressured him to return, he preferred to stay in Spain and hone his skills. The 23-year-old Oregon native says the opportunity to play abroad was too good to pass up.

Got NSDJA Plans?
A lot of work, about which many of us don't even know, goes on behind the scenes within the building products industry. This work often is done by certain individuals and certain companies that are part of associations that make an effort to improve the industry. Even the national "got milk?"® milk mustache campaign has an association behind this fight for America's milk processors and dairy farmers, the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board in Washington, D.C., and Dairy Management Inc. of Rosemont, Ill.
In our industry, I guess we could ask "got wood?" or "got doors?" or "got windows?" Associations are formed to promote an industry as a whole, not a company. In fact, many of the individuals who belong to such associations are competitors, but they feel it is vital to come together and promote their industry by setting standards, goals and solving problems—all in an effort to increase the consumption of their industry products.
Recently, I attended the summer meetings of both the Northeast Window & Door Association (NWDA) and the Wood Moulding and Millwork Producers Association (WMMPA). This month we all look forward to attending the 39th Annual Convention of the National Sash & Door Jobbers Association (NSDJA). All of these associations were designed to promote our building products industry.
What does that mean for you? In the end, this all leads to a better product to sell and a more informed customer to which to sell.
In this issue, we are featuring the NSDJA's annual convention. You will find helpful information on the show, including an exhibitor list, a program overview as well as information on presentations and seminars to attend (see related article on page 42). You will also be able to review many new products in the NSDJA feature—many of which will be available to view at the NSDJA show by visiting the manufacturer's booth (see related article on page 42).
In this world of technology where we can send a message with a push of a button, we sometimes forget how important it is to have a face-to-face meeting. We can view new products on the Internet, but nothing beats being able to use our other senses. So meet with the manufacturers, shake hands with the people you do business with daily and pick up the products in person! Plus, have some fun tasting the Texas cuisine!
Make it a great day!
Brian Welsh, Publisher
P.S. Please stop by at the NSDJA convention and say hello. Editor Samantha Carpenter and I will be in SHELTER's Booth #908 throughout the event.

It's the American obsession with prohibiting alcohol until age 21, the thinking goes, that causes kids to rebel and abuse it when they're teenagers.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard this theory: The French, Germans, Italians– insert European country here– aren't so uptight about alcohol and they, in turn, have less teen alcohol abuse to show for it.
But is that really true?
According to the Telegraph UK, psychiatrists from Yale University have nixed the idea that the stereotypical "European way" of letting underage kids sip wine or beer at the family table leads to responsible drinking in adulthood.
Meghan Morean, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and corresponding author for the study, said: "Beginning to use alcohol at an earlier age was associated with heavier drinking and the experience of more negative consequences during senior year of college."
Back to the myth that the U.S. has more teen alcohol abuse than other parts of the world:
According to Narconon.org, teen substance abuse seems to be a global "pandemic." From Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South Africa and North America, the number of teens who report drinking and even binge drinking is substantial. And the age of first drink (AFD), just as the Yale doctors say, is directly related to the likelihood of future abuse.
"Looking at this statistic from the other side, people who start abusing any addictive substance before they turn 15 are more than six times more likely to wind up with a substance abuse problem as those who delay abusing of any substances until they are 21 or older."
And a ten-year-old report from USA Today found that U.S. teens were using substantially more drugs but less alcohol and tobacco than European teens.
The Telegraph article cites Dr. Aric Sigman, author of Alcohol Nation, who thinks parents are in denial about the addictive qualities of alcohol simply because they manage to indulge in it socially and live productive lives:
"Parental disapproval is brilliant for child sobriety. There is a myth that banning your children will turn them into drinkers later. It won't."
While my kids are nowhere near the age where I would ever consider giving them watered-down wine at dinner, one of my kids, I'm not naming names, has a sneaky habit of sticking her fingers in my wine. If not that, it's the foam on top of a freshly-poured Guinness that entices her. It does looks a lot like a root beer float.
And the injustice of our children being limited to drinking water or milk at dinner while their parents have a glass of wine or beer, no healthier than soda or juice, is not lost on me.
What's your alcohol policy? Do you imagine yourself the type of parent who will teach your kid to drink responsibly at home or is zero tolerance more your style?

2005 Boston College Eagles Basketball Preview
2005 Boston College Eagles Team Preview
The Boston College Eagles are no longer in the prestigious Big East. Instead, they're in the equally, and some would say, more prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference. Last year the team from New England went 13-3 in their conference and 25-5 overall. And even though they lost half of their final 10 games and bowed out of the Tournament by losing in the second round to UW-Milwaukee, the Eagles were more a team of consistency than inconsistency. Chances are with one of the finest frontcourts in the nation, four out of five starters returning, and a sound defense that can press, trap, and rebound, the Eagles should prove to be as tough this year as they were last year.
Senior forward Craig Smith and junior forward Jared Dudley are about as good as it gets. Last season Smith recorded an average of 18.0 PPG and 8.5 RPG, while Dudley hit 16.5 PPG and swiped 7.5 RPG. Smith, who has problems with turnovers, is a tough player capable of leading BC by example in the physically rough ACC. Dudley can dish it off with aplomb as well as hit from the floor; he's a guard and playmaker who can strongarm opponents.
The backcourt is almost equally intimidating with guard junior Sean Marshall capable of hitting from three-point land and mid-range, while senior Louis Hinnant is once again ready to distribute the ball and control the tempo of the game. Marshall poured in 11.1 PPG at a 45.8% clip. Hinnant needs to improve his shooting (33.3 FG% and 5.3 PPG), giving the Eagles another threat.
Hinnant will have some competition from freshman guards Tyrese Rice and Marquez Haynes. Rice is a versatile performer who can hit from the perimeter and drive to the basket. Haynes, an all-around sound player, comes to the court with well-developed basketball skills.
But BC is lacking a true big man after losing 7'-0" center Nate Doomekamp, who provided defensive consistency under the basket and a dominating physical presence. There's no one available to replace him. Additionally the team will have to do better on turnovers; in the 2004-05 season the Eagles committed 403 turnovers while forcing 424. That ratio has to improve in order for BC to prove themselves in their new conference.
For more info on the 2005 Eagles check out the official Boston College athletic site.

I have to admit up front to liking every single, John Carpenter movie. They are works of art in there unique style and quality. This is actually my favorite of all of them. There could be a criticism that this movie is didactic and sends some sort of clumsy political or philosophical message but I'd have to reply that you simply don't get it. Unlike the modern propensity for movies to try to hammer home some political point or perspective, the message here is only window dressing. The message may (or may not) be important but instead of getting caught up in some sort of self-important moral... read the rest.
They Live
Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like "Stay Asleep", "No Imagination", "Submit to Authority". Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.
Who are they? And what do they want?

Booklist Reviews 2005 May #1
/*Starred Review*/ Pres-K. It will be hard to stop a group of little ones or even a lone child from wiggling through this one; the text is that infectious. A spotted dog on the cover, vigorously working a hula hoop, leads children through a wiggling world: "Do you wake up with a wiggle? / Do you wiggle out of bed? / If you wiggle with your breakfast, / it may wind up on your head." The delightful cartoon-style, ink-and-watercolor artwork is highlighted by tidbits of collage. In the case of the above quote, the picture shows the droopy canine with a photograph of a pancake planted squarely on its head. Every candy-colored page features the funny, frenetic dog involved in some furious activity, and the sense of motion and movement is palpable each time. The text is occasionally labored: "Wiggle slowly when with polar bears. They're very wiggle shy." But the artwork picks up the slack so well that kids won't know what to do first: wiggle or giggle.

Horn Book Guide Reviews 2005 Fall
A floppy-eared dog begins his day with a wiggle ("Do you wake up with a wiggle?") and, like many toddlers, wiggles all the way till bedtime. Children listening to Cronin's ebullient questions will find wiggling along irresistible. Black outlined objects stand out against the clean backgrounds; the digitally rendered illustrations often incorporate a photographed element along with the amusing cartoon dog.

Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2005 #5
The floppy-eared dog in this book begins his day with a wiggle ("Do you wake up with a wiggle?") and, like many a toddler, wiggles all the way till bedtime. The doggy wiggles underwater with some startled-looking fish, wiggles with some bees (his ears and legs flapping), and even plays the accordion wearing a top hat and holding a pink flower between his teeth. Children listening to Cronin's ebullient questions ("Can you wiggle with your shadow?") will find wiggling along irresistible; the infectious humor will make them laugh and encourage them to pay attention to the comic pictures. With objects outlined in black to stand out against the simple, clean backgrounds, Menchin's digitally rendered illustrations often incorporate a photographed element (such as a pancake) with the always amusing cartoon dog (after too much wiggling, the pancake lands on the dog's head). This high-energy book will work well with young groups all the way to the end: "I think we're out of wiggles now. See you wiggle soon!" Copyright 2005 Horn Book Magazine Reviews.
Kirkus Reviews 2005 June #1
This alternative to "Shake My Sillies Out" offers wiggles galore, but is sometimes vague about the suggested movement. In spontaneous-sounding verse, Cronin directs her audience to "first wiggle where your tail would be. Then wiggle all your hair. Feeling extra silly? Wiggle in your underwear!" And so on-but some adult direction will be required for the gorilla wiggle ("Do they make a wiggle noise?"), and though Menchin features a clearly drawn dog acting out most of the wiggles in his digitally drawn cartoons, a crocodile and a newly hatched bird are not posed in ways that provide visual cues. Still, not too bad a choice for preschoolers in need of a wiggle break. (Picture book. 3-5) Copyright Kirkus 2005 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2005 May #4
Youngsters can't be expected to sit still while listening to this energetic read-aloud featuring an animated doggie who wiggles in a variety of situations-some comically outlandish. At times zigzagging across the pages, Cronin's (Click, Clack, Moo) bouncy, rhymed text repeats the title word frequently-and with gusto-from the opening spread, which asks, "Do you wake up with a wiggle? Do you wiggle out of bed?" as the contented canine gives his tail a vociferous wag. A flip of the page reveals the pooch in a chef's hat flipping a pancake ("If you wiggle with your breakfast, it might wind up on your head"), and the pancake, in kid-pleasing fashion, does just that. Subsequent silly scenarios show the amiable pup wiggling with his shadow and underwater, where he cavorts with fish. Menchin (The Day the Whale Came) amusingly depicts the hound hero's shenanigans in vividly hued digitally rendered cartoon art. At times the solid colors leak outside his bold black lines, creating a wiggly effect. And the compositions incorporate some fun photographic images: a rubber ducky, and a knitted hat and body suit, which the pooch wears while wiggling with polar bears. The tale's tail end announces "I think we're out of wiggles now. See you wiggle soon!" Enthusiastic youngsters may take that as an enticing invitation to start the book all over again. Ages 1-4. (June) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
School Library Journal Reviews 2005 June
PreS-There's not a lot of story here, but there is plenty of fun as a playful, rump-shaking pup leads toddlers through some of the many ways to move around: "Do you wake up with a wiggle?/Do you wiggle out of bed?/If you wiggle with your breakfast,/it might wind up on your head." The dog goes on to jiggle and dance with various objects and creatures before falling asleep beneath the moon. Menchin's lively, digitally rendered art incorporates elements of reality-photographic bits and pieces-that are well integrated into broad, bright cartoon illustrations. Cronin's nonsensical text is rhythmic and buoyant. Pair this sunny, silly book with Jonathan London's Wiggle Waggle (1999) or Katie Davis's Who Hops? (1998, both Harcourt) for an active storytime about animals in motion.-Kathy Krasniewicz, Perrot Library, Old Greenwich, CT Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Officially licensed by BMW, the Vinyl Killer allows you to play your records without the need for a record deck - the needle in the car coasting along the grooves, knocking out the music via the built-in speaker and amplifier.
The name 'Vinyl Killer' is no accident - I wouldn't use this for on your super rare LPs, but for novelty playback of your charity shop finds, it should do just fine. 33rpm only, it retails for £55.

Choose Your Tech Stocks Carefully: An Interview With Ryan Jacob
sitting on a twenty and betting on an ace." But there are all kinds of investors out there. Including ones who would say pretty much the opposite.Read more interviews from Kapitall: John Thompson Says to Ditch Tech, Buy Big Banks So we sat down with one, Ryan Jacob, Chairman & Chief Investment Officer of Jacob Asset Management, to talk about how his fund goes about picking technology stocks, and how they weigh growth potential against valuation. Why do economic downturns affect technology companies more? Supply and demand on the hardware side is still susceptible to consumer sentiments. But we do really look for secular growth, companies that'll grow regardless of what the market is doing. There are some companies we like a lot and invest in, like Yelp (YELP), but we keep our holdings small because of the valuation. Yahoo! (YHOO) is also tricky to value because so much of that company's value are Asian assets – like Alibaba and Yahoo! Japan. Click on the interactive chart to see stock price data over time. Do you think the market has priced in the Alibaba hype to Yahoo!'s valuation? Not completely. Because those assets, they're not static, they're growing. I don't see Yahoo!'s price getting ahead of itself, in fact I think that it's tracking. I think most of our holdings are going to catch up to their valuation. So valuation plays a role in determining what you buy? The name of the game in technology investing is balancing risk and return. One of our holdings, Cisco (CSCO), isn't growing that much but it is something of a value play. Now I'm not going to pay a Yelp kind of valuation for a company like Cisco, but, for sure, valuation plays a big role. What do you think of Twitter's IPO and valuation? With Twitter (TWTR) I'd argue that it behaves more like a utility. It's scope is much more narrow than most software companies which can be good and bad. Their position is much safer than a typical technology company, I don't see anyone else getting into it, but their position is also narrow. It'll be harder for them to grow. But then again, we're always careful with IPOs. They're priced to sell, not to buy. So would you caution against investing in IPOs all together? It's hard to say because sometimes they just keep going up after, but sometimes there's a lot to be gained by taking your time. We waited about 8-9 months before we bought Facebook (FB) which is one of our biggest holdings now. We knew that no one had a deeper relationship with their users but the question became 'could they utilize it without becoming intrusive.'" We think that they can. There's always a chance they could be displaced, just like Myspace was, but we don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Do you believe in Zuckerberg's philosophy of product before profit. Absolutely. It's important to nurture your platform until you reach a critical mass on your user base. Focusing on short-term profits before you get there is short-sighted.James Dennin, Kapitall: Some institutional investors say tech stocks aren't worth the risk. But Ryan Jacob disagrees. A couple weeks ago we interviewed John Thompson of Vilas Capital. A by-the-books value investor, Thompson likened investing in technology stocks to "

There was once a time in the United States (and not that long ago) in which the idea of guaranteeing every American the opportunity to obtain a free public education all the way through college was a widely — even universally — shared dream. In the mid-20th Century, states throughout the country worked hard to expand their community colleges and universities and to keep tuition and fees to a bare minimum. Republicans and Democrats were on board. Here in North Carolina, we even enshrined this important value in our state constitution.
And then, in the latter part of the century, the anti-government, tax-cutting Right reared its backward-looking head. Fueled by millions from reactionary corporate oligarchs, these ideologues commenced a crusade against "government schools" and progressive taxation and within a few decades, thousands of once nearly-free colleges and universities were charging huge, debt-inducing sums to attend.
Now, President Obama, much to his credit, is pushing back against this destructive trend with his proposal to establish a national program — based on work in Tennessee — to make community college free to all students who meet certain requirements. It is an inspired and overdue proposal.
Unfortunately and not surprisingly, the ideologues are pushing back with absurd and hateful blather about "giveaways" and "freebies." Listen to Louisiana Governor Booby Jindal as quoted in an editorial in this morning's Wilmington Star News:
"Why stop there?" he said. "Why not have the government buy a car and a house for everyone?"
Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. When supposedly serious elected officials equate providing access to public education with giving people free houses and cars, the national political debate has truly sunk to a new low.
As the Star News noted with admirable restraint in response to Jindal: Read more

- Channel: Auction House
I am offering for sale a pair of art prints featuring the MAN OF BRONZE; DOC SAVAGE, that reproduce two covers from the original 30's pulps; as produced by GRAPHIT TI PRODUCTIONS!The first print reproduces the cover art from 'THE MAN OF BRONZE', appearing on the MARCH, 1933
issue of DOC SAVAGE MAGAZINE; as painted by WALTER M. BAUMHOFER. The second print reproduces the cover art from the 'BRAND OF THE WEREWOLF', which appeared
on the cover of the JANUARY, 1934 edition of DOC SAVAGE MAGAZINE. This was also painted
by Mr. Baumhofer.
These breathtaking prints both measure 15 1/2 by 23 inches, with the actual art covering an area measuring
11 1/2 by 17 inches.
compliments from friends when they see them hanging on the wall...well worth the investment! The MAN OF BRONZE print comes inside its own protective oversize envelope,
stamped with the print details in the lower right corner. For some reason, the 'BRAND OF THE WEREWOLF' PRINT does not have the protective envelope.
I am the original owner, and I can't imagine w it might have disappeared to, but the fact of the matter
is that I only have the print. This is the main reason I am selling them as a set; so I can include the 'BRAND
OF THE WEREWOLF' print in the 'MAN OF BRONZE' envelope for protection. If you are a fan of
DOC SAVAGE or just a fan of pulp-era art in general; you are going to want to own both of these
anyway. :-) All prints are shipped FLAT between heavy cardboard with a supporting insert. (Keep in mind that
the winning bidder will be charged EXACT costs of materials required to keep this
print protected.) It breaks my heart to part with this (and other Doc items), but such is life. Check my feedback, and please bid with confidence! Be the FIRST to exercise eBay's 'Buy It Now!' option, and you can add this pair of pulp-era DOC
SAVAGE prints to your collection RIGHT NOW for a LOW $44.99. These would make
an amazing addition to anyone's Man of Bronze collection...don't miss out! Terms: Due to the limited nature of these prints, and my inability to replace them in case of damage/loss in
transit, shipping costs will be based on weight of package and the zip code of the winning bidder via
UPS Insured Ground Service, along with the shipping materials required to keep this print secure.
(I do not ship via USPS, because the size of the print results in a hefty 'balloon charge' that is added to the
initial shipping charge.) HOWEVER, if YOU prefer another method of shipping, and are willing to assume
the risk AND the additional costs, we will do our best to accommodate your wishes. NO personal checks
accepted for print sales; PayPal or money orders ONLY. We will ship print within 24 to 48 hours
(shipping Monday âe" Thursday ONLY). If you have any questions, or we can be of any
further help, please contact us by e-mail! Thank you!

Transvestite Art
See more » Ambiguously Gendered See more » Imagery
"In drag" tells us this is supposed to be a drawing of a transvestite.
I feel a huge conflict about the depictions of crossdressers at times. Especially when I run across them in old paperbacks. I shouldn't. These were works of exploitation. They weren't crafted with love or care. They were pumped out quickly to satisfy a market.
But it still always nags at me to look at something like this and know that when the artist drew it for all he knew it was a genetic female. It was only an editor or publisher who later decided to label her a transvestite.
Of course the illustrations of the same time that clearly show a man in woman's clothing are those that treat male femininity as a form of humiliation. Even worse. And the goal of most crossdressers is passablility. Not the subtler aesthetic of ambiguity.
I should just shut up.

I was bringing my bike out to the trails yesterday with 2 other bikes on my rack, and one guys tire got caught on my lever, and pulled it away from the handlebars. Ive only just noticed it, but when you push the lever away from the bars and clicks into a different position, and clicks back with you squeeze the lever.
Is this normal? The only idea i have why it might do this is when you have the wheel off, you click it in to a "locked" position, so the pistons dont accidentally lock together if you squeeze the lever.
Is my precious juicy lever fine?

Regional Spotlight—Last month marked the best September for Massachusetts single-family homes sales since 2005, according to the latest report by The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman.
A total of 4,358 single-family homes sold in Massachusetts in September, a 16 percent increase from 3,739 sales in September 2012. Sales also increased in the third quarter – rising to 16,097 from 13,957 during the same period in 2012. Year-to-date sales are up by 12 percent at 37,757, compared to 35,590 during the same period a year ago.
"Despite rising interest rates, home sales have remained high this year, particularly booming in the third quarter," says The Warren Group CEO Timothy M. Warren Jr. "Median prices continue their upward surge with a 16 percent gain. These data show that there continues to be strong demand and a shortage of supply. Twenty six communities are now above their pre-crash high for median price and others are closing in on previous highs."
The median price of single-family homes rose almost 16 percent to $323,625 in September, up from $280,000 a year earlier. Third quarter median prices also increased – rising 15 percent to $340,000 from $300,000 in the third quarter 2012. The median price for homes sold January through September was $325,000, up 12 percent from $289,900 in the prior year.

The Miami City Ballet dancers love ballet and we love our jobs. But that doesn't mean that we don't look forward to the end of the season. It is only understandable right? This doesn't make us bad people! I mean, just look back at what we had crammed into the past 8 months: We started our season with a four -month crash course of John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet. We then spent two weeks filming three ballets for PBS' Great Performances: Dance in America, Balanchine's Square Dance, Tharp's Golden Section, and Balanchine's Western Symphony. Then we hit the stage with Program I in October, followed by a nice long run of Nutcracker. After...Read More
As you may know, a few weeks ago Miami City Ballet treated South Florida to John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet, and thanks to the wonders of the internet, even if you were not able to attend, you can feel as if you were there. Again, I would like to take you behind the lens of MCB dancer, Leigh-Ann Esty. Click here to find her amazing snap shots of this production. When I first browsed through her photos I was entranced. Since I am on stage during many of the moments that she captured, I was so amazed at how the sets and costumes came across to the audience. Since she was also dancing, she was only able to get to the camera when she was off stage. So please...Read More
Today was our last day full day of rehearsals in the studios before we head to the theater tomorrow afternoon. That's right, it is almost time for our company premier of John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet! I can tell you that this production is not to be missed! The music is next to none, the choreography tells the story in a compelling way, and the costumes are extravagant! So, if you live in South Florida; near Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach, don't miss out on this event! And if you don't live in the area, get on twitter and join me this Friday as I will be guest tweeting for Miami City Ballet. The...Read More
Do you enjoy the photos of Miami City Ballet dancers that often grace my blog? These photos have been taken by the multi-talented Leigh-Ann Esty. Ms. Esty is a Corps de Ballet dancer with Miami City Ballet and whenever she is not onstage, she is in the wings taking gorgeous photos. And now, you can finally experience all of her work! She launched her website yesterday and I invite you all to click over and experience ballet through her eyes. Congratulations Leigh!Read More

This week is going to be a busy one for Miami City Ballet. Tomorrow morning we will all get up, pile into our cars, and truck across the state of Florida to Naples, for a quick stint of two performances. Then we come back to Miami, late on Wednesday night, for only one day, before we rush to West Palm Beach on Friday for another weekend of performances. Yes, we sure will be busy. So follow along with us as we jet across South Florida to bring ballet to our different audiences. I will be posting updates on my Tumblr, Digital Diverts, by the hour to keep you up to date on our schedule. So come along with me, and with Miami City Ballet as we take Program II on the...Read More

Thursday July 31, 2008
CINCINNATI (AP) -- A person with knowledge of the discussions
tells The Associated Press that Ken Griffey Junior has agreed to
accept a trade to the Chicago White Sox. That leaves it up to the
commissioner's office to approve the deal because money is
The Cincinnati Reds outfielder had the right to block any deal,
but agreed to move to the White Sox after getting more information
about the proposed trade this morning. The teams are not commenting
on the pending deal.
Griffey became the sixth player to reach 600 career homers this
season, but has struggled at the plate. He's batting .245 with 15
homers and 53 RBIs despite playing in one of the most
homer-friendly ballparks in Cincinnati.
The Reds were interested in dealing Griffey because of the size
of his contract and their plummet after the All-Star break, which
dropped them back to the bottom of the NL Central. The Reds haven't
had a winning season since 2000. The White Sox enter today's play with a game-and-a-half lead over Minnesota in the AL Central.

- create_engine() now uses genericized parameters; host/hostname, db/dbname/database,
password/passwd, etc. for all engine connections. makes engine URIs much more "universal"
- added support for SELECT statements embedded into a column clause, using the flag
- another overhaul to EagerLoading when used in conjunction with mappers that
inherit; improvements to eager loads figuring out their aliased queries
correctly, also relations set up against a mapper with inherited mappers will
create joins against the table that is specific to the mapper itself (i.e. and
not any tables that are inherited/are further down the inheritance chain),
this can be overridden by using custom primary/secondary joins.
- added J.Ellis patch to mapper.py so that selectone() throws an exception
if query returns more than one object row, selectfirst() to not throw the
exception. also adds selectfirst_by (synonymous with get_by) and selectone_by
- added onupdate parameter to Column, will exec SQL/python upon an update
statement.Also adds "for_update=True" to all DefaultGenerator subclasses
- added support for Oracle table reflection contributed by Andrija Zaric;
still some bugs to work out regarding composite primary keys/dictionary selection
- checked in an initial Firebird module, awaiting testing.
- added sql.ClauseParameters dictionary object as the result for
compiled.get_params(), does late-typeprocessing of bind parameters so
that the original values are easier to access
- more docs for indexes, column defaults, connection pooling, engine construction
- overhaul to the construction of the types system. uses a simpler inheritance pattern
so that any of the generic types can be easily subclassed, with no need for TypeDecorator.
- added "convert_unicode=False" parameter to SQLEngine, will cause all String types to
perform unicode encoding/decoding (makes Strings act like Unicodes)
- added 'encoding="utf8"' parameter to engine. the given encoding will be
used for all encode/decode calls within Unicode types as well as Strings
when convert_unicode=True.
- improved support for mapping against UNIONs, added polymorph.py example
to illustrate multi-class mapping against a UNION
- fix to SQLite LIMIT/OFFSET syntax
- fix to Oracle LIMIT syntax
- added backref() function, allows backreferences to have keyword arguments
that will be passed to the backref.
- Sequences and ColumnDefault objects can do execute()/scalar() standalone
- SQL functions (i.e. func.foo()) can do execute()/scalar() standalone
- fix to SQL functions so that the ANSI-standard functions, i.e. current_timestamp
etc., do not specify parenthesis. all other functions do.
- added settattr_clean and append_clean to SmartProperty, which set
attributes without triggering a "dirty" event or any history. used as:
myclass.prop1.setattr_clean(myobject, 'hi')
- improved support to column defaults when used by mappers; mappers will pull
pre-executed defaults from statement's executed bind parameters
(pre-conversion) to populate them into a saved object's attributes; if any
PassiveDefaults have fired off, will instead post-fetch the row from the DB to
populate the object.
- added 'get_session().invalidate(*obj)' method to objectstore, instances will
refresh() themselves upon the next attribute access.
- improvements to SQL func calls including an "engine" keyword argument so
they can be execute()d or scalar()ed standalone, also added func accessor to
- fix to MySQL4 custom table engines, i.e. TYPE instead of ENGINE
- slightly enhanced logging, includes timestamps and a somewhat configurable
formatting system, in lieu of a full-blown logging system
- improvements to the ActiveMapper class from the TG gang, including
many-to-many relationships
- added Double and TinyInt support to mysql
- completed "post_update" feature, will add a second update statement before
inserts and after deletes in order to reconcile a relationship without any
dependencies being created; used when persisting two rows that are dependent
on each other
- completed mapper.using(session) function, localized per-object Session
functionality; objects can be declared and manipulated as local to any
user-defined Session
- fix to Oracle "row_number over" clause with multiple tables
- mapper.get() was not selecting multiple-keyed objects if the mapper's table was a join,
such as in an inheritance relationship, this is fixed.
- overhaul to sql/schema packages so that the sql package can run all on its own,
producing selects, inserts, etc. without any engine dependencies. builds upon
new TableClause/ColumnClause lexical objects. Schema's Table/Column objects
are the "physical" subclasses of them. simplifies schema/sql relationship,
extensions (like proxyengine), and speeds overall performance by a large margin.
removes the entire getattr() behavior that plagued 0.1.1.
- refactoring of how the mapper "synchronizes" data between two objects into a
separate module, works better with properties attached to a mapper that has an
additional inheritance relationship to one of the related tables, also the same
methodology used to synchronize parent/child objects now used by mapper to
synchronize between inherited and inheriting mappers.
- made objectstore "check for out-of-identitymap" more aggressive, will perform the
check when object attributes are modified or the object is deleted
- Index object fully implemented, can be constructed standalone, or via
"index" and "unique" arguments on Columns.
- added "convert_unicode" flag to SQLEngine, will treat all String/CHAR types
as Unicode types, with raw-byte/utf-8 translation on the bind parameter and
result set side.
- postgres maintains a list of ANSI functions that must have no parenthesis so
function calls with no arguments work consistently
- tables can be created with no engine specified. this will default their engine
to a module-scoped "default engine" which is a ProxyEngine. this engine can
be connected via the function "global_connect".
- added "refresh(*obj)" method to objectstore / Session to reload the attributes of
any set of objects from the database unconditionally
- fixed a recursive call in schema that was somehow running 994 times then returning
normally. broke nothing, slowed down everything. thanks to jpellerin for finding this.
- small fix to Function class so that expressions with a func.foo() use the type of the
Function object (i.e. the left side) as the type of the boolean expression, not the
other side which is more of a moving target (changeset 1020).
- creating self-referring mappers with backrefs slightly easier (but still not that easy -
changeset 1019)
- fixes to one-to-one mappings (changeset 1015)
- psycopg1 date/time issue with None fixed (changeset 1005)
- two issues related to postgres, which doesnt want to give you the "lastrowid"
since oids are deprecated:
* postgres database-side defaults that are on primary key cols *do* execute
explicitly beforehand, even though thats not the idea of a PassiveDefault. this is
because sequences on columns get reflected as PassiveDefaults, but need to be explicitly
executed on a primary key col so we know what we just inserted.
* if you did add a row that has a bunch of database-side defaults on it,
and the PassiveDefault thing was working the old way, i.e. they just execute on
the DB side, the "cant get the row back without an OID" exception that occurred
also will not happen unless someone (usually the ORM) explicitly asks for it.
- fixed a glitch with engine.execute_compiled where it was making a second
ResultProxy that just got thrown away.
- began to implement newer logic in object properities. you can now say
myclass.attr.property, which will give you the PropertyLoader corresponding to that
attribute, i.e. myclass.mapper.props['attr']
- eager loading has been internally overhauled to use aliases at all times. more
complicated chains of eager loads can now be created without any need for explicit
"use aliases"-type instructions. EagerLoader code is also much simpler now.
- a new somewhat experimental flag "use_update" added to relations, indicates that
this relationship should be handled by a second UPDATE statement, either after a
primary INSERT or before a primary DELETE. handles circular row dependencies.
- added exceptions module, all raised exceptions (except for some
KeyError/AttributeError exceptions) descend from these classes.
- fix to date types with MySQL, returned timedelta converted to datetime.time
- two-phase objectstore.commit operations (i.e. begin/commit) now return a
transactional object (SessionTrans), to more clearly indicate transaction boundaries.
- Index object with create/drop support added to schema
- fix to postgres, where it will explicitly pre-execute a PassiveDefault on a table
if it is a primary key column, pursuant to the ongoing "we cant get inserted rows
back from postgres" issue
- change to information_schema query that gets back postgres table defs, now
uses explicit JOIN keyword, since one user had faster performance with 8.1
- fix to engine.process_defaults so it works correctly with a table that has
different column name/column keys (changset 982)
- a column can only be attached to one table - this is now asserted
- postgres time types descend from Time type
- fix to alltests so that it runs types test (now named testtypes)
- fix to Join object so that it correctly exports its foreign keys (cs 973)
- creating relationships against mappers that use inheritance fixed (cs 973)
initial release

Every Nintendo fanboy worth his salt have been dying for a new game in the Starfox series. The famous sci-fi shooter was the first game to ever appear in 3D on the Super Nintendo, and the series has been dripping with innovation ever since.
Nintendo Wii sadly missed out on any Starfox love, for whatever reason – actually, the Wii version has long been rumoured. Now a new rumour has appeared claiming that the makers of Metroid Prime and more recently Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro Studios, is developing a Nintendo Wii U version for the upcoming console.
The rumour was spurred on by website TechTroid. They claim an "inside source" told them about the game's development, but (surprise!), no actual source was given. Here's what they said;
"An inside source close to the folks here at Techtroid has suggested we may be seeing a Starfox reveal at E3 this year, along with the already announced Pikmin and Mario games."
Oooh, an inside source! Well, TechTroid – I'll see your inside source and raise you a REAL Nintendo Producer.
Ah, TechTroid – we really loved your linkbait, but sadly someone has already beaten you to the punch. This is Starfox after all – it's not some crummy iPhone game. If you're looking to whip up rumours, you have to be quick!
Last year, website IGN had a quick chat with Katsuya Eguchi – the Nintendo producer who has worked on many, many projects including Super Mario Bros. 3, Wii Sports and the unreleased Starfox 2. He hinted at a Starfox game for Wii U way back in June, 2011;
"I think the way we get around those challenges that you mention is, we look at a franchise and find out what's right for that franchise, utilizing the HD. For example, you saw the HD Zelda demo at the briefing, and how detailed and graphically awesome that looked. So that's something you can see in a Zelda game. Or for Metroid or Starfox, we could do something really cool, bring those out a little bit more. For games like the New Super Mario Brothers Mii that was also shown… Because that game uses the Mii characters, we're able to really bring out those details, so that while you're playing the game, even though your character looks very small, you still know which one you are. So there are different ways of utilizing HD."
Now that's pretty easy to take out of context – the reply was aimed at a question about how HD could actually be used effectively with established franchises. But that doesn't change the fact that he used the words "Metroid" and "Starfox" in the same sentence!
There is a little more meat to this rumour, though. Retro have said themselves (apparently) that the next game they're working on is "something everyone wants (them) to do". Starfox has been the general consensus, but F Zero has also made the rounds.
Retro are certainly working on something – they've recently added a list of employment opportunities on their website.
In fact, Starfox is such a well loved series, that Shigeru Miyamoto himself has publically stated in the past that he would like to see a new game in the series for Wii. Of course, that was back in 2006, but it's not too hard to imagine that the game has been in development for a few years already, meaning it could actually be a launch title for Wii U.
So this rumour boils down to this: there MAY be a Starfox game appearing at E3 in a few weeks time. Retro are making something from an established franchise; something that requires a few more staff. And it's not like Starfox hasn't been hired out to another studio in the past.
We think Techtroid (and IGN, and anyone with a brain) may be onto something. But it's hard to believe that anyone from Nintendo has walked up to them and dropped this bombshell, and nothing else. Slip this one in the "likely" pile, but not because of anything an anonymous source has said.

Rachel Hunter's time outRachel Hunter has ended her relationship with ice hockey player Sean Avery.
The sexy supermodel, who is divorcing ex-husband Rod Stewart, is believed to have called time on the year-long relationship because "it wasn't going anywhere".
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Rachel decided the relationship had run its course. They broke up last week but remain friends."
Just last week, Rachel, 35, who has two children from her marriage to rocker Rod, insisted her relationship with her 25-year-old lover was still on, saying: "I don't really talk about him, but yes. That's as far as I'm, going with this."
But a spokeswoman for the New Zealand-born model last night (20.06.05) confirmed the couple had ended their romance.
She said: "I can confirm that Rachel and Sean Avery have split up."
Rachel recently sparked rumours she was planning to wed Sean after being spotted wearing a huge ring.
The blonde babe has been previously linked with pop heartthrob Robbie Williams and Puddle of Mudd rocker Wes Scantlin.

I find that I am being drawn back to that lens. I personally like that wide angle range for my photos, and gong back over some photos I think the lens renders really well for me. Have to try out a circular polarizing filter on it though.
Camera: K-5
Lens: Pentax 12-24 - for now anyway
Bag: Think Tank City Walker 20 - It carries what I need for pictures as well as travel and my tablet too!
Strap: Optech USA Utility Strap Sling - the wide neoprene section distributes the camera and lens weight so I can carry them all day when I don't want a bag, and the camera rides comfortably against my body, not to mention it slides right up the strap when i want to take a picture.

I didn't see anyone getting on his case for those bad throws.
They don't have to. Brady gets on his own case.
He does?
He's acted above reproach and then goes out and does the same crap again in SBs.
He paces up and down the sideline staring down our own D after he has them on the field , gassed, over and over after an INT or many 3 and outs in a row.
The D put their own dam selves on the field for 5 minutes a possession for only 8 possessions, starting with the first one. Oooops, no sorry that was 6 minutes. 10 in SB 42. Pathetic.

Hi. I'm Erin and I'm out of shape (says the girl eating an OREO as she types.)
Before I had kids, I was an on-again, off-again gym girl. I even had a personal trainer at one point. Since I had my son (almost FOUR years ago!), I can probably count on my hands and feet the number of times that I've actually worked out. We did the 30 Day Shred for awhile and I would try to walk…but it never stuck. There was the occasional yoga class, which I love, but I never fully committed. Therefore, progress was never made.
This summer, we joined the YMCA. I'm tired of making excuses. I chase my kids around a lot but it does not take the place of actual cardiovascular activity. A few weeks ago, I tried a Zumba class for the first time. I've been hearing about it for ages and figured I'd see what all the hype was about.
Oh. My. God.
My class was taught by this fiery woman who moved faster than I've seen anyone move in my entire life. I have a little bit of rhythm but damn if I wasn't lost almost the entire class. I could barely keep up. As soon as I was starting to get the hang of one routine, we'd switch to something else.
I left the class exhausted. But I had fun and I knew I'd be back.
But then I went on vacation and then to a conference. So I didn't get back until this week.
I went two days in a row.
And now I want to die.
My hamstrings are so tight, it's beyond ridiculous. Tomorrow morning is going to be painful. I'm placing bets on my barely being able to walk.
I know it's good for me. And, despite the fact that my self-esteem takes a nose dive when I see myself in the mirror during class, it's a total blast. The more I go, the more I'll get the hang of it.
Bottom line, I'm moving. Therefore, I'm getting in shape.
I'll be a hot bod mama in no time.
(So who's going to come check on me tomorrow to make sure I'm alive?)
Have you tried Zumba? Do you love it? Hate it?

Colfax's first residents clashed with settlers
By: Nancy Hagman, Colfax Record Correspondent
Gold-seekers changed Indians' lives forever
Prior to European contact, historians estimate that there may have been as many as 350,000 peoples living within the boundaries of what is now the state of California, with maybe as many as 80 separate languages spoken. California Indians were equally rich in diverse cultures and traditions. Sustenance was provided by Mother Earth for centuries. According to modern anthropologists, in the valley that sits at 2,400-foot elevation – between two rivers now known as the Bear and the American – were a people calling themselves Nisenan. The term, literally translated, means "our people." They lived in clusters of a few dozen people each around a main round house that served, primarily, as a meeting space. Individual family groups lived in a smaller "hy" and all these structures were constructed with the limbs and thick bark of the cedar trees. The valley and its surrounding area had several villages, all located at prime spots near spring water and abundant food supplies. They farmed the native plants and processed it for storage and did the same with the hunted fish and small game. Larger game capture were organized events requiring the planning of several villages. The villages would also come together for meetings, celebrations and ceremonial purposes. The population of the region is estimated to have been around 2000. Life was simple and peaceful. Then, somewhere around 1820 the intrusion of the European people began. The Spanish/Mexican conquerors on the California coast had not reached into the valley, but Jedediah Smith and other fur trapping mountain men began appearing from the east. By the 1840s, the first immigrants began passing through on the way to the fertile Central Valley. Then, in 1848, the discovery of gold opened the flood gates to a mass of interlopers from far-away lands. A combination of distrust, fear, little or no way to communicate and the weather lead to the events of what became known as the Bear River War. What is known was originally reported by settler M. D. Fairchild in the "History of Placer County." A group of Oregonian miners, including Enos Mendenhall along with his wife and child (see Colfax Record, March 14, 2011), had arrived in the valley in the spring of 1849 and called it Alder Grove, the area that later became known as Illinoistown and later Colfax. They pursued their golden bounty down on the rivers throughout the summer, returning to the trailhead only for essential supplies. Winter came. "Around 50 men claimed the place [Illinoistown] as their home that winter, with every building serving as a dormitory. Men of all conditions would be stowed thickly, side by side," Fairchild wrote. After the Fairchilds retired for the night on a cold December evening, the local Indians stealthily took both their mules as well as a Pierson's oxen. While trailing the thieves, the owners found evidence that one mule had been butchered. Upon discovering that all their valuable pack animals had been slaughtered, the settlers returned to town. The resulting public meeting at Pierson's store ended with the planning of the "Blades," Placer County's first military organization. They were armed with "long rifles, yagers, shotguns; dragoon and pepper-box pistols, butcher and Bowie knives – powder horn and bullet pouches, blankets, hardtack and bacon." Some miles to the west they found evidence of the thefts and captured a lookout. When they reached the village, all able-bodied peoples had escaped, leaving behind skins of the mules and oxen, meat, bones and other stolen goods. The Blades disagreed over what action to take. Hotter heads prevailed, resulting in two villages burned, two males killed and children taken prisoner that same day. The next month, January 1850, an incident in Auburn brought 50 men up to enlist the Blades in another action. Several villages were burned. In April, more Pierson and Fairchild stock was lost. The Blades went out on the last campaign, killing and scalping 20 or more of the indigenous people. In retrospect Fairchild conceded that the Indians had cause for their assaults on the settlers. "They were more numerous than the whites: they were, of course, no doubt the natural lords of the heritage; the country had been occupied by their ancestors away back to the time beyond memory of the oldest among them, and they soon began to look upon the interloping gold-diggers as legitimate subjects of plunder." Life, as they knew it, went down hill from there for first people of the valley that has become Colfax.
