Governor Christie will be voting in favor of borrowing $750 million to make improvements to the state's colleges and universities and he said Tuesday he thinks voters will also be supportive.
Christie said he sees a clear differences between the higher education bond referendum on the November ballot and a 2007 ballot question that asked voters to approve $450 million for stem cell research, that Gov. Jon Corzine supported.
"This issue is going to benefit everybody in New Jersey and I was one of those who said that I thought that the stem cell research, the amount of money that Governor Corzine wanted to borrow for that, was putting the cart before the horse," Christie said.
On Monday supporters of the bond held a rally at Rutgers University's College Avenue campus in New Brunswick. Democratic Senate President Stephen Sweeney and former Republican Gov. Tom Kean were among those in attendances.
This is the state's first bond referendum for capital improvements at the schools since 1988. If voters sign off on the spending, the state's public research universities – Rutgers, the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rowan University, which will soon get that designation – would see a combined $300 million in improvements.
Another $247.5 million would be split among the eight state colleges and universities, $150 million would go to county colleges and $52.5 would go to private institutions, except those with total endowments of more than $1 billion, which excludes Princeton University.
"Here we know that we haven't invested in a capital way in our higher education intuitions in New Jersey in 24 years, through a broad based bond issue, and that was the reason I was willing to sign the bill that put this on the ballot and have said and will say again today, that I support it and plan to vote for it," Christie said during an event in Jersey City Tuesday.
Christie said the funds would not only improve higher education in the state, but would also boost the economy. A campaign that launched to pass the funding measure, called "Building our Future," has said up to 10,000 construction jobs could be created.
"The fact is that this is not only good for New Jersey's families and their children, but it is also good for New Jersey's economy, both short term and long term and it is wrong that we haven't made this kind of investment in 24 years," Christie said. "So I think people look at it much differently. The stem cell research thing I think was more about politics than it was policy and I think the voters saw that and they defeated it and I voted against that."

Log Cabin met with Mitt about ENDA
A Commentary
Timothy Kincaid
October 24th, 2012
In the ping-pong story about Log Cabin Republicans' endorsement of Mitt Romney, the Washington Blade is now reporting the following:
A meeting that took place at a Virginia farmhouse between officials from Log Cabin Republicans and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney included a discussion about workplace non-discrimination, but attendees who spoke to the Washington Blade wouldn't enumerate any commitments made by Romney.
R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin's executive director, said workplace non-discrimination protections were the focus of the meeting, which took place Oct. 17 at Greenwood Farm in Leesburg, Va., which was a precursor the organization's endorsement of the candidate announced on Tuesday.
In addition to Clark Cooper and Mitt Romney, the meeting included gay former U.S. House Rep. Jim Kolbe and Log Cabin staffer Casey Pick and a Romney staffer. As to the specific of agreement on non-discrimination, the LCR head was close lipped.
"I can say with confidence that the Romney administration would work on desirable outcomes for workplace non-discrimination," Cooper said. "I'm going to leave it broad like that because I think there's room for administrative action as well as legislative. I also think it's probably fair to say that legislation in a form of an ENDA or an ENDA-like legislation is certainly realistic."
While that is quite vague, it does appear that on some issues certain commitments were made.
While shying away from making any firm commitments on workplace protections, Cooper said Romney was firm deciding not to overturn "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal or hospital visitation rights for same-sex couples, which the Obama administration already mandated for hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funds.
So it would appear that, as has been their pattern, LCR brokered their endorsement for concessions and agreement on specific issues. I simply don't know enough detail to determine whether I consider the results of the meeting to be adequate or that an endorsement was the appropriate response. But, I think that it is now clear that they did not blindly endorse out of pure partisan loyalty.
As this election is but a week away, and as there is no certainty that President Obama will be reelected, I am glad that Log Cabin has established and maintained a relationship with the Republican nominee. Should Romney win, we will need them.

Teen pot use linked to later declines in IQ
Monday, August 27, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — Teens who routinely smoke marijuana risk a long-term drop in their IQ, a new study suggests.
The researchers didn't find the same IQ dip for people who became frequent users of pot after 18. Although experts said the new findings are not definitive, they do fit in with earlier signs that the drug is especially harmful to the developing brain.
"Parents should understand that their adolescents are particularly vulnerable,'"said lead researcher Madeline Meier of Duke University.
Study participants from New Zealand were tested for IQ at age 13, likely before any significant marijuana use, and again at age 38. The mental decline between those two ages was seen only in those who started regularly smoking pot before age 18.
Richie Poulton, a study co-author and professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, said the message of the research is to stay away from marijuana until adulthood if possible. "For some it's a legal issue," he said, "but for me it's a health issue."
Pot smoking is relatively common in American teens. The government reported in June that 23 percent of high school students said they'd recently smoked marijuana, making it more popular than cigarettes.
Experts said the new research is an advance because its methods avoid criticisms of some earlier work, which generally did not measure mental performance before marijuana use began.
"I think this is the cleanest study I've ever read" that looks for long-term harm from marijuana use, said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Ken Winters, a psychiatry professor at the University of Minnesota and senior scientist at the Treatment Research Institute in Philadelphia, said the new findings aren't definitive, but they underscore the importance of studying how marijuana may harm young people
The study drew on survey data from more than 1,000 people in New Zealand, everybody born in the town of Dunedin during a year-long span ending in 1973. In addition to IQ tests, they were interviewed five times between ages 18 and 38, including questions related to their marijuana use.
At age 18, 52 participants indicated they had become dependent on marijuana, meaning that they continued to use it despite its causing significant health, social or legal problems. Ninety-two others reported dependence starting at a later age.
Researchers compared their IQ scores at age 13 to the score at age 38 and found a drop only in those who had become dependent by 18.
Those deemed dependent in three or more surveys had a drop averaging 8 points. For a person of average intelligence, an 8-point drop would mean ranking higher than only 29 percent of the population rather than 50 percent, the researchers said.
Among participants who'd been dependent at 18 and in at least one later survey, quitting didn't remove the problem. IQ declines showed up even if they'd largely or entirely quit using pot at age 38.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi
There is currently a free exhibition of Giovanni Battista Piranesi's work at the Keith Murdoch Gallery in Melbourne. The exhibition features a number of stunning etchings and paintings all centring on the topic of Rome. Looking at these artworks took me back nine years to when I visited that ancient city myself and now I long to return. Here are some of my personal favourites.
I couldn't find my particular favourite, Stenographic Insulate Tiberinae, it's a view of an island in the Tiber and the composition blew me away. I also thought it would be a great setting for a story. If you know where it is online please let me know.
I hope you enjoyed this itty bitty post, have a great day.

At Abbotsford Convent
Below you will find a Doctor Who fan fiction I wrote on the train. It is inspired by one of the creatures in the series but doesn't feature any of the main characters.
Walking through Abbotsford Convent at night is not a scary thing. It has been repurposed and renovated into an outdoor cinema, a restaurant and a bar. People fill the spaces with their laughter and conversation. There is nothing to frighten you in Abbotsford Convent.
I blink.
Silence descends, the people are gone. Empty chairs and half-drunk beers are all that occupy the restaurant now. I walk towards the cinema and bar listening intently for the sound of a crowd. I round the corner. Nothing but rows and rows of deck chairs littered with blankets and bags as if everyone has gone to the bathroom at once. An old film begins to plays on the big screen.
To my left is a corridor. A narrow tunnel through the building to the other side. Framed by the tunnel is a square of grass and a small stone bench haloed by the last light of the day.
I walk through. When I emerge I raise my hand to block the sudden sunlight. When I drop it there is something else behind the bench. I don't know how I missed it before, but the most beautiful statue of an angel stands before me, her hands raised to cover her face as though in tears.
I smile… I blink.

Not a Christmas Post: Thoughts on Apathy
So there are only seven days till Christmas and what have I got for you? A post about how nobody in the world cares about anything ever. If there's a more seasonally appropriate topic I don't know what it is.
Lately I've been thinking about apathy.
Definition of apathy
1. Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.
2. Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness.
|Apathy and Her Ring and Her Razor by Kira Leigh
I won't pretend to be well read on the subject and I'm certainly not a scholar, therapist or expert. I just like to read and think and theorise and that's what I'm doing here.
Apathy seems to be a growing concern in Western society particularly in the generation known as Y (of which I am a part). An apathetic attitude can be caused by a number of things including inundation of negative stimuli or a sense of helplessness. Both these things, I believe, affect the world today. Never have we had so much access to information and it cannot be denied that the majority of the news is made up of devastating, violent, and horrific events. (No wonder the rest is tabloid entertainment, we need the reprieve.) With so much war, domestic violence, animal cruelty, destruction of nature, hate, rage, etc., etc. being broadcast 24/7 it's only natural that we feel unequipped to help. And if we can't help, if we can't change the situation than isn't all that negativity too much to cope with, wouldn't it be better to just shut it out.
I'm beginning to think apathy has become our go to tool for self-preservation in an overwhelmingly damaged world. I hope one day soon we can bring ourselves to care again, or better yet believe that we can affect change. Maybe I'll start by listening to the sad stories people want to tell me and turning on the news instead of flicking to repeats of the Simpsons.
Do you believe apathy is a problem? How can one person make a difference?

Doctor Who and Peter Pan
I only began watching Doctor Who part way through this year. Last night's 50th anniversary episode 'Day of the Doctor' was truly stunning and I have now begun my slog through the last seven seasons (as far back as I dare go) so I may be fully prepared come the new season and the new Doctor.
What has struck, and most fascinated, me about the Doctor is his remarkable similarity to another clever boy who never grew up. From what little I've seen there seems to be and ongoing theme of growing up in Doctor Who and the man himself shares a lot of characteristics with Peter Pan. Remember I'm operating on limited knowledge and assumptions before you read on. I'll probably check back in on this topic once I've finished catching up.
1. The Doctor doesn't want to grow up: Taking it a step further he seems be purposefully getting more immature as he gets older. It's no doubt a cover for the darker things that lurk beneath but still. This was highlighted in 'Day of the Doctor' when John Hurt, portraying a younger Doctor, when confronted by two other versions of himself, around four hundred years older, and calls them kids never imagining them to be much older hims. And later, too much laughter, when the most recent Doctor describes the situation as 'timey wimey' and John Hurt scoffs.
2. Companions: The Doctor has his companions, many and varied as they are, and Pan has his. Both inevitably outgrow their mischievous immortal friend and say their bitter sweet farewells, or in die in some cases. The Doctor offers all of time and space and Peter offers Indians, Pirates, Mermaids, and never having to worry about grown up things again. It's too good to pass up but I imagine their usually running away from something (unsatisfactory life, fear of an uncertain future, the usual) not to it. The Doctor and Peter Pan are just tools for procrastination but ultimately can't give them what they need and have to let them go.
3. Spirit of Mischief: The Roman God Pan is a mischievous faun with a set of pipes who loved tricks and deception. Peter Pan is a cheeky little boy with a set of pan pipes. The Doctor is a nutter with a sonic screwdriver. OK maybe not a nutter I apologise, I love him too. There's a sneaky twinkle in each of their eyes. There's also something sinister and deadly and so so sad in them as well. We know from our vampire feels that immortality can be lonely beast and Peter and the Doctor don't even have others of their kind to talk to.
4. The Romance Thing: We're all a little bit in love with him aren't we? Our Doctor. And don't you think his companions are too, some more obviously than others. His relationship with a few of them remind me of Peter and Wendy. Wendy loves Peter, and he loves her in as much as he can, but he can't love her way the she needs/wants him to, he's just not old enough to be capable of it. The Doctor is old enough and then some. His barrier to loving back may come from the divide in species or something more personal or internal but there is a barrier. Yes on occasion that barrier slips, River Song for example, but in most cases he can't love them the way they wish he could and eventually, as in the point above, he has to let them go so they can find someone who can.
Wendy: "Oh the cleverness of you." And "Peter, you won't forget me will you?"
Clara: "Run you clever boy, and remember."
This is all I have so far in theories, let's call it an essay plan and in seven seasons time maybe I'll come back with an essay. In the meantime please offer your thoughts on the Doctor, Peter Pan and all that stuff in between. I'm off to watch some tellie.

Self-proclaimed 'Strongest man in the world' no match for pepper-spray
After Cesar Frometa-Delgado, 23, resisted authorities during a disorderly intoxication arrest outside of a nighclub, the Golden Gate man was pepper-sprayed by sheriff's deputies as he yelled out he was the "strongest man in the world," reports the Naples Daily News.
Pepper spray: 1; Frometa-Delgado: 0.
Deputies were also to get him in to a headlock before pepper-spraying him.
Maybe he meant strongest smelling...

Apple's Largest Data Center is Powered by 100% Renewable Energy
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On March 22, 2013 @ 5:07 pm In Environment,Gallery,Renewable Energy,Solar Power,Wind Power | 2 Comments
Apple [2] has announced that its newest—and largest—data center is powered entirely by renewable energy. Solar panels [3] and fuel cells incorporated within the Maiden, North Carolina facility generate enough on–site energy to power up to 17,600 homes for an entire year. The project is part a larger push by Apple to switch to renewable energy sources, an effort which has resulted in 75% of Apple's offices [4] worldwide being powered by clean energy.
Like other technology companies such as Amazon and Microsoft, Apple has large data centers [6]—Internet storage facilities—which consume vast amounts of energy. Its newest data center located in Maiden, North Carolina, is the largest of its kind to be powered completely through renewable energy generation.
A large solar array [7] surrounds the data center and has an annual production capacity of 42 million kWh of low-carbon renewable energy, enough to power 17,600 homes for one year. A second 20 MW solar array in currently being built in the vicinity of the existing one and is planned to enter operation in 2013. The Maiden data center has already earned the LEED Platinum certification [8] from the U.S. Green Building Council, thus joining many other of Apple's facilities that use renewable energy sources.

Bills fieldhouse has a new name
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jun 17 2014 11:01AM
The Buffalo Bills are changing up a lot of things over the summer in Orchard Park, and one of them doesn't have to deal with the actual stadium at all. The team announced that the fieldhouse at One Bills Drive will now be known as the ADPRO Sports Training Center.
"ADPRO Sports is a long-time partner of the Bills and we are proud to be associated with such a strong Buffalo-based company," said Bills Chief Revenue Officer Bruce Popko via the team's official website. The new name covers both the training area for players and the administrative side of the building.
"The Bills are part of the fabric that makes WNY great...we are thrilled to extend our relationship with the team," said ADPRO Sports president Ron Raccuia. "The ADPRO Sports Training Center will be a state of art facility ranking among the best in the NFL"
The Bills will get to work in their freshly renamed facilities for the start of mandatory minicamp later on Tuesday.

text: OK, I found a Speedster in our size. Supposedly purchased new in October, 2002. I'm wondering how the spec has changed since then. Is this the same air-hardened frame used now, or is this the same steel now used on the Primera? I believe it has FSA cranks, but don't know the model. V-brakes, Wound-up fork, Aerohead rims on Chris King hubs, Ultegra brifters. What do you think?

(WBIR-Knoxville) A man who's been charged with more than 100 crimes in the past 11 years was arrested again over the weekend, after witnesses say he intentionally set his house on fire.
Court documents show that Donald Manns has now been charged with arson for a Mechanicsville house fire late Saturday night.
Witnesses said Manns lit a bag on fire and left it at the bottom of the house on Citico Street, causing flames to erupt.
The landlord said he was having trouble with Manns and was planning to evict him. But witnesses claim Manns said he would quote "burn that place to the ground before I let him evict me."
The house sustained $15,000 in damage.

Ravenswood: Pretty Little Liars Spin-Off Premiere Debuts at #1 for ABC Family
The October 22 premiere of Ravenswood turned out to be an early Halloween treat for ABC Family! Ravenswood launched as the highest series debut ever for the channel for women 18 to 34 with a reported audience of 789,000. Let that sink in for a moment because the good news keeps coming.
Got your head wrapped around what a huge victory that is for the new show? Not quite. That's okay but brace yourself for even more complicated Ravenswood wins. The show also claimed the spot as cable TV's biggest drama debut in almost three years and it got the most tweets of any new TV series premiere to date this season.
SocialGuide reports Ravenswood reached more than 3 million people and generated more than 16 million impressions. That's a whole lot of social networking.
Add the amazing start to Ravenswood with the less surprising but no less great tune-in for Pretty Little Liars's third annual Halloween special and what do you get? The network's best Tuesday performance ever recorded for 8 to 10 p.m. in three key categories: adults ages 18 to 34; women ages 18 to 34; and women ages 18 to 49.
Long story short: People really, really love Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn). As they should.
Are you surprised by the news or totally think Ravenswood deserves all the attention? Sound off in the comments below.

text: Movies that teach us the true meaning of Christmas via contemporary twists on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, are as common as SUVs at a Hollywood gala to save the environment. But what about movies that teach us the true meaning of God's second favorite holiday, the 4th of July? They're about as common as vegans at a BBQ festival. Hollywood patriot David Zucker will attempt to remedy that with An American Carol, which stars Chris Farley's brother (Kevin P. Farley) as a fictitious version of patriotic scrooge Michael Moore. Based on the trailer, An American Carol isn't going to make anyone forget Scary Movie 5, or whatever edition of that franchise they're up to now, but one aspect of it does make for some interesting debate: Who is wearing more make-up, Kelsey Grammer as the ghost of General George S. Patton or Bill O'Reilly as Bill O'Reilly?

Increasingly, marketers are finally learning how to respond to fast-paced cultural trends and capitalize on online viral movements in real time, as designers do on Oscars night. This type of fast-paced, flexible marketing helps keeps brands relevant in an ever-changing media landscape.
Real-time marketing, a form of market research inbound marketing, is a strategy in which marketing decisions are made in fast response to whats happening in the world. For example, marketers may adapt a meme to their companys brand or produce blog content in response to current news events.
When marketers develop effective real-time marketing efforts their brands, their content has a significantly higher likelihood of being shared. But, of course, real-time marketing content also must be informative or interesting or both.
In an age where mobile news consumption is becoming the norm, real-time marketing should also become a norm in marketing departments. A perfect example of real-time marketing executed perfectly was demonstrated in last weekends Academy Awards ceremony. Think: When Jennifer Garner strutted down the red carpet in her purple strapless Gucci gown, photos of it quickly circulated around the Web all over Twitter, celebrity news websites and Instagram.
And while Gucci was relishing in being the most-talked of dress on social media, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, Dior and Amani were enjoying similar celebrity-boosted chatter on Oscars night. Marketers can use social media data similar to the real-time data Attensity Media provided on celebrity gowns, to gauge the success of their own real-time campaigns. Because a successful real-time marketing strategy isnt simply an off-the-cuff reaction its a carefully executed, fast response, and a well connected one.

So I commute to work on a fixie every day and then take long, hard rides (50 on saturday and 80ish on Sunday) with a road bike during the weekend. I may spruce up some rides during the week and wake up earlier, use the road bike to do hills or interval training but typically I just try to push a little to work.
All that being said could I fall victim to overtraining (because of a lack of a rest day)?
Can I get away with it if I take 2 days of the week really easy?
What if I don't ride one day altogether but do another activity (martial arts) would that be counter productive?

The race for the United States presidency is on. As of Tuesday, January 4, 2012, the results of the Republican Presidential Primary are in. The Iowa Caucus has concluded, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney edged out U.S. Senator Rick Santorum by eight votes. According to Iowa poll data, Romney got 30,015 votes (24.6 percent), Santorum received 30,007 votes (24.5 percent), Ron Paul received 26,219 votes (21.4 percent), Newt Gingrich received 16,251 votes (13.3 percent), and Rick Perry received 12,604 votes (10.3 percent). When considering the probable winner, one should note that in the history of America's 44 presidents only 12 have been elected who were not U.S. Senators, governors or vice presidents.

The quintessentially Irish performer was born William Joseph Shields on March 10, 1888. After graduating from Skerry's College, his 22-year association with The Abbey Theatre began upon visiting an actor friend backstage. Fascinated by the inner workings of the theater and the craft, Fitzgerald took up acting as a hobby and made his Abbey debut in the play "Hyacinth Halvey" (1914). This was followed by more stage work and a professional pseudonym so that he could remain employed as an administrative officer with The Dublin Board of Trade, while secretly rehearsing during his lunch hour and performing in the evenings. This routine would continue for 15 years until it was clear to Fitzgerald t... Continue Bio >>

A deputy who was injured in last week's shootout that left his partner and the gunman dead spoke to reporters today.
Deputy Ryan Dawson was released from Pitt County Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon and was seen at the sheriff's office Monday.
Deputy Dawson was in good spirits when he met with reporters. He still has a small patch over the back of his neck where he says a bullet fragment nicked him.
Dawson, whose partner, Deputy Allen Pearson, was killed in the shootout, says like everyone else he is trying to get through Pearson's death. He was able to attend Saturday's funeral and said that was tough for him.
The deputy says he didn't know he had been shot until he reached up to his neck after feeling a burning sensation.
Dawson, who has a wife, an 8-year-old daughter, and a 14 month old son, comes from a law enforcement family. His father is a retired detective sergeant and currently a court bailiff, while his grandfather was a captain with Lenoir County. He says he's spent his whole life as either a volunteer or in law enforcement and he doesn't regret it.
Dawson says he wants to return to work, but just when is dependent on his doctors right now.
He said when he returned home Friday his neighborhood welcomed him back and then his morning he was greeted by some ten deputies when he stepped into the sheriff's office.

The Daily Agenda for Saturday, January 18
Jim Burroway
January 18th, 2014
Events This Weekend: Arosa Gay Ski Week, Arosa, Switzerland; Aspen Gay Ski Week, Aspen, CO; Bärenpaadiie, Hamburg, Germany; Midsumma, Melbourne, VIC; Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, Washington, DC.
TODAY'S AGENDA is brought to you by:
The City of the Angels' more fallen denizens gathered at the Fallen Angel. I haven't been able to find any information about this bar. I just kind of like the groovy post-psychedelic, artwork of the angel who's obviously had a rough time lately. The location is now a Metro PCS store, just down from a Salvadorian bakery and not far from MacArthur Park.
Transgender Man In the News: 1894. The following item appeared in the Badger State Banner, published in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. A larceny case became a case about the nature of the defendant and his wife.
Anna Morris Given One Year
Anna Morris, alias Frank Blunt, the woman who has tried to be a man for the last fifteen years, was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year by Judge Gibson at Fond du Lac. She was arrested several months ago in Milwaukee charged with stealing $175 in Fond du Lac. It was then discovered that the prisoner was a woman, although she had worn masculine attire nearly all her life. A jury convicted her of larceny and a motion for a new trial was overruled. After the sentenced had been passed Gertrude Field, a woman who claimed to have been married to the prisoner in Eau Claire, fell upon the neck of the prison and wept for half an hour. This woman had furnished all the money for Blunt's defense, and now proposes to carry the case to the Supreme Court.

A Simple Home Device for Aversion Therapy: 1964. On this date, the British Medical Journal published this article by R.J. McGuire and M. Vallance:
Aversion Therapy by Electric Shock: a Simple Technique
Aversion therapy has been used for many years in the treatment of alcoholism. Apomorphine and emetine are the usual drugs used as the unconditioned stimuli for nausea and vomiting, with alcohol as the conditioned stimulus. More recently the same procedure has been used in the treatment of sexual perversions — for example, fetishism, transvestism and homosexuality.
There are several disadvantages to the use of drugs in conditioning procedures. The time between the stimulus being presented and the nausea being produced is uncertain. The patient may not even feel nausea; and, further, the cerebral depressant effect of the drug may interfere with the patient's ability to form conditioned responses. In addition, the treatment may have to be terminated prematurely because of its dangerous side-effects.
Alternative unpleasant responses can be used to produce aversion. In experimental psychology electric shock has been widely used both in animals and in humans. In clinical treatment, however, it has been less often used. The technique is simpler, more accurately controlled, and more certain in producing an unpleasant effect than drugs. This article describes a simple apparatus designed by one of us (R. J. McG.) and its use in the aversive treatment of sexual perversions, alcoholism, smoking, and neurotic symptoms.
Apparatus. — The components are cheap (under £1) and fit into a box approximately 6 in. (15 cm.) square and 2 in. (5 cm.) deep (Figs. 1 and 2). It is powered by a 9-volt battery and is therefore completely portable. The shock is administered through electrodes on a cuff around the patient's forearm. To construct the apparatus requires no special skill, and the technical details are given at the end of the article.
…After initial instruction he can treat himself and may take the apparatus home to continue the treatment there. Besides saving the therapist's time and making frequent treatment possible, this arrangement is to be preferred when the symptom is one usually indulged in alone-for example, masturbation to perverse fantasies. While the patient can use the apparatus whenever he is tempted to masturbate, he should also each day deliberately carry out the treatment at a time when the desire to masturbate is not strong.
This isn't the first time a device for administering electric shock has been described in the medical literature for treating homosexuality. Electric Shock Aversion Therapy has been discussed since at least 1935 (see Sep 6). But as modern science entered the space age, a few therapists got the idea that there was a demand for an inexpensive home version.

Miami-Dade County Approves Gay Rights Ordinance: 1977. An angry mob of anti-gay conservatives led by singer and Florida Orange Juice spokesperson Anita Bryant packed the Miami Commission Chambers in an attempt to shout down a proposed gay rights ordinance which would extending nondiscrimination protections in employment, housing and accommodations on the basis of "affectional or sexual preference." Despite the evident anger in the room, the Commission passed the ordinance 5-3.
Bryant and her husband, Bob Green, vowed to lead a campaign to repeal the ordinance at the ballot box, a campaign that she subsequently won (see Jun 7). That victory led to similar campaigns to overturn similar ordinances in St Paul, Minnesota (see Apr 25); Wichita, Kansas (see May 9); and Eugene Oregon. That tidal wave reached its high-water mark in on November 7, 1978 when California voters defeated the Brigg's Initiative which would have banned gays and lesbians from working in public schools. That same day, voters in Seattle also roundly rejected a ballot initiative to rescind that city's anti-discrimination ordinance.
On December 1, 1998, the Miami-Dade County Commission again passed another non-discrimination ordinance by a vote of 7-6. Opponents again petitioned for a vote, but the law was upheld on September 10, 2002.
First Same-Sex Blessing In Episcopal Church: 1992. Mark Benson, a 47-year-old physician's assistant, and Philip Straw, a 45-year-old postal worker, both of Pasadena, California, had been together for eight years when they decided to make honest men of each other. And so they did what any normal self-respecting church-going couple would do when they wanted to get married. They went to their church, All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena, which just happens to be the largest Episcopal Church west of the Mississippi. It also happened to have a very receptive rector in Rev. George Regas. He had already proposed that All Saints begin blessing gay unions in a sermon two years earlier.
Regas held back from calling the ceremony a "wedding," calling it a blessing instead. But even that small concession went far beyond what the national denomination at the time was willing to sanction. At the denomination's national summit in 1991, they were unable to reach a consensus on a wide range of gay-related issues, instead affirming a "traditional" standard which calls for unmarried people to remain celibate. Regas understood that the ceremony, which was attended by 500 guests, would case a stir. "Homosexuality is such a divisive issue, I'm sure there is a great deal of distress" about the ceremony, he told a reporter from The Los Angeles Times. "But the people who were there, who know these men, knew this was appropriate and good. … It had such a sense of rightness about it."
Of course, not everyone agreed. Two weeks later, a group of fundamentalists marched outside All Saints during a Sunday service holding signs reading "Homosex is a sin," and handing out flyers asking "What's worse than dying with AIDS?" to parishioners. The protest was organized by R.L. Hymers, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle of Los Angeles, who in 1986 had asked his parishioners to pray for God to remove Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan from his seat on the court by death over Brennan's 1973 vote in Roe v Wade. He also chartered an airplane to fly over Los Angeles trailing a banner reading, "Pray for Death: Baby killer Brennan." Hymers was similarly bombastic during this protest. "It's absolutely the wrong signal with the AIDS epidemic raging out of control, he told reporters. "The last thing a pastor should do is advocate a life-threatening and soul-threatening practice of sodomy."
Regas remained unapologetic. "We have done what we think God is calling us to do. We believe the inclusive love of Christ welcomes everybody." Philip Straw died from AIDS the following December.

When it comes to the energy deregulation business opportunity you have to be aware of how compensation plans are structured. It is unique to the energy deregulation business opportunity that the prize that you should be keeping your eyes on is the monthly energy residual income commissions. Those are the entire point of this opportunity.
Do you understand that? I ask because many people do not.
It takes a while for the energy commissions to kick into your wallet, so the other important part of compensation plans for energy deregulation is the bonus structures. How they have it set up to pay you on certain actions.
Once you get an understanding of both of those aspects, then you have to make a decisions based on both. Getting an immediate income from bonuses and then, most importantly the energy residual commissions, which are you building blocks for your long term passive income.
When you look and review the Consumer Choice Marketing Compensation Plan, you will find that it exceeds expectations for immediate income as well as passive residual income.
Review the video below and it will outline and show the incomes that are available through the Consumer Choice Marketing Compensation Plan. You will see that no other compensation plan can hold a candle to it.
Consumer Choice Marketing Compensation Plan
When you understand how the Consumer Choice Marketing Compensation Plan works and can work FOR you ( not against you as some companies plan do), you can see just how special it really is in creating income both immediate and passive residual. It really is a no brainer in the real sense.
Best ROI for your time, energy, effort and especially money
Compensation Plan
RD Power and Super Power Play
Coded fast start bonuses
Choice Match Percentages
Immediate income
And MOST IMPORTANTLY the monthly Residual Income comparisons, especially on commercial energy sales.
When you study the Consumer Choice Marketing Compensation Plan, you begin to appreciate just how powerful it is for generating immediate income, as well as the monthly energy residuals.
If you are a builder and want to take advantage of this opportunity, you have come across the company to do just that. The bonus structure is set up so that you can generate very nice immediate income in a quick fashion. This helps you fuel your marketing and advertising as well as gives you the income to live with while you and your team build and grow your residual income from energy sales.
As a matter of fact, the Fast Start, Choice Match Percentage and RD Power and Super Power Play bonuses are infinity bonuses unto themselves. In other words, they are residual income producers, as well as the high and generous energy residual commissions. It is really a two-fer that cannot be overlooked.
I dare to say that the compensation plan is THE most lucrative comp plan by far !

What Rev (Shockwave-Blast) to choose?
Posted 05 April 2006 - 04:43 AM
I'm new Rev-User (from February 21). My family gave me as a present a Revolution EXP in my birthday.
It's a fantantic kite. I have been flying two lines kites for years, but this is different to previous ones. It seems no difficult to master to me, with my experience and...
I'm thinking in the next (big) step and I doubt about Shockwave and Blast. What's the true difference? Because it will be the only Rev I think to adquire in the future.
...waiting for news (excuse my English)
From Spain, Jose M.
Posted 05 April 2006 - 06:05 AM
Tough call between those two kites, as they are similiar in how they fly, but, if I was forced to choose I'd probably go with the Blast, its one step further along the evolution of the design. They are a lot of fun, a lot of pull and they'll glide nicely in lower winds too

Shockwave is much lighter on the lines, and FAST.
The Blast a little slower, and a strong puller.
Both great kites, built for different uses. :wink:

Well, I have both those kites (and the Supersonic also). All I can say is that last week I was at the beach and the winds were light, but I wanted to fly a fast kite. The Blast was the one I pulled out of my bag. In my [humble] opinion, the Blast flies in lower winds than the Shockwave. Which flies in lower winds than the Supersonic (but you didn't ask).
The day that I flew the Blast the winds were right for a 1.5SUL. I didn't pull out my wind meter, but it felt like it was 3-4 mph. I have the Blast video which shows how to fly in those lower winds, and I had to use those low-wind techniques. And it performed beautifully.
I would back up to get it to launch, then float it to walk back to my starting position. Then keep it moving to get it to fly again until the wind dropped. Then float until I could get it moving again, etc. It was truly a very enjoyable time.
I feel that you'd enjoy both (and if you have the chance, pick up the Blast video also).
Later, Doug
Posted 08 April 2006 - 06:53 AM
A new problem: Where to buy such a kites in Spain or Portugal? or perhap... what's the better internet place you can advise me (total pricing including transport, taxes, security speed and so)...? I tried in several places and regions in Spain by myself and none have such a kites
Posted 09 April 2006 - 09:23 AM
you can buy Rev kites in spain...
Posted 22 April 2006 - 12:12 PM
Yesterday arrived home a fantastic Blast that I could find by phone in a kite-shop in Madrid (Spain); only three days in shipping home to Seville... it´s lucky. It's nearly impossible to find for direct buying such a kite in Spain.
This morning, I flew it in the Huelva's beach (south of Spain, 60 miles from Seville where I livin') following the instrucctions of DVD; it´s difficult to ride for a novice that fly REV EXP from February 2006... I'm sure I'll learn to master this BLAST (I flew acrobatic kites and parafoil for years)...
But I have a special doubt: What is the exact utility of both two knots situated in each bottons of the kite? I have chosen both inner: inner left with botton-line left and inner right with botton-line right and the only upper (red) knot of both sides of the kite with the correspondent upper line, in my first day. I't have been a cloudy and unconstant windy day previus to rain.
Can you help me? Where can I find information about this event?
...mmm my English...
Posted 25 April 2006 - 10:45 AM
Try contacting Team Bolau (http://www.euskalnet...olau/index2.htm) who I am sure will be able to give you some help.
Rev flying in Spain is hot stuff with some of the best flying I have seen for a while. Keep at it and have fun.
Posted 25 April 2006 - 11:56 AM
It have been a great helping the spanish contact. I'll e-mail them as soon as I return home. Tomorrow my family and me are going for a little 5 days holidays in the beach. I'll try the Blast and I hope no breaking it...

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

HMRC investigations into VAT avoidance by the UK's largest businesses have resulted in record extra tax income over the past year, according to law firm Pinsent Masons.

Insemination is the placement of sperm in a woman's reproductive tract, with the goal of creating a pregnancy. Insemination must take place during the woman's most fertile time, about 24 to 48 hours before ovulation is expected, in order to have the chance for success.
When people talk about artificial insemination, they are most often referring to IUI, or intrauterine insemination. IUI is typically the first fertility treatment a couple will try. This simple procedure is often performed when there is unexplained infertility, endometriosis, or irregular ovulation. Intrauterine insemination is easier to do than assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, and the IUI procedure costs much less.
During this fertility treatment, a catheter enters through the cervix to deposit specially washed sperm directly into the uterus. Sperm washing is the separation of sperm cells from seminal fluids. It is done before the IUI procedure in order to remove chemicals and dead sperm that are harmful to fertilization. There are three types of sperm washing procedures, including the swim-up method, which collects sperm as they swim, the density gradient wash method, which separates sperm from debris, and the simple wash method, which accumulates only active sperm in a test tube.
While IUI is the most common, and most successful, type of artificial insemination, there are several other methods of transferring sperm to a woman's reproductive system. Your infertility specialist will work with you to determine the best method to use for your particular situation.
Intravaginal insemination (IVI) is the easiest type of insemination, and it entails placing sperm into the woman's vagina. Ideally, in the IVI insemination process, the sperm should be placed as close to the cervix as possible. This method of insemination can be implemented when using donor sperm, and when there are no issues with the woman's fertility. Because success rates are lower than IUI, this form of insemination isn't used very frequently.
With intracervical insemination (ICI), the sperm is placed directly inside the cervix, using a needle-less syringe. In this procedure, it is not necessary for the sperm to be washed because the semen is not being directly placed inside the uterus. Of course, it still may be pre-washed in order to increase the chances of success.
It is important to note that ICI is more common than IVI, but less common than IUI. It is often used if a couple wants to save money on the treatment procedure, as ICI is less expensive than IUI, especially if the semen is not pre-washed. Success rates, however, for ICI are low.
In a review of studies on IUI and unexplained infertility, just 4% of women got pregnant per cycle without fertility drugs, and 8% to 17% got pregnant when fertility drugs and IUI were combined. Although IVF success rates per cycle are much higher, IUI is significantly less expensive, and a much easier procedure. If IVF is out of your price range, multiple IUI cycles might be worth considering, depending on the cause of infertility. Speak with your infertility specialist to understand all of your options and risks.
Take control of your fertility and make an appointment with one of our compassionate and highly trained infertility specialists. The Center of Reproductive Medicine has full-service fertility clinics in Webster and Beaumont, providing world-class treatment with some of the highest success rates in Texas.

Now, he's loaning some of that knowledge to Nintendo. Sort of.
McHale's hilarious attempts to turn a commercial for Nintendo's 3DS handheld into a viral sensation is itself going viral, despite the lack of sneezing pandas and only one measly groin kick:
