My new favorite technique. Let's see if it lasts.
My ideology, unlike yours, is only a threat to your self-concept, not to your safety.
So tonight I was told that for a few years I was "crazy about the feminism" so much so that it "annoyed" my father. He was explaining my brother's bizarre response to me and placing the blame on my ardent feminism. Of course. My refusal to acquiesce to my brother's patriarchal ideology did indeed annoy him. It was often the precursor to him lashing out at me. However, my feminism did not cause his attacks. His patriarchy, which my feminism threatens, caused them.
And the bigger difference between my supposedly in your face feminism and his patriarchal values is very important. If I talk about feminism until I am blue in the face; if I annoy every male (and possibly female) member of my family; if I alienate all of the male members of my work team, I have done exactly that. I have annoyed and alienated. I have made them uncomfortable in their easy privilege. If my brother's espouses his women should obey, women should stay silent, women should let men have their way, and porn is amazing worldview; women continue to die. They, possibly me, continue to be raped and beaten and stabbed and shot if they do not tow those lines. See the difference. I put his ego at risk; he puts my safety at risk. This is the bargain we have been asked to swallow again and again. Melissa McEwan, despite her blind spots, writes eloquently about this topic in a post titled "The Terrible Bargain."
I held back – barely- from launching into a tirade to my my father about the shit my brother has said to me. I did admit to him that I don't tell them what he says to me because I don't want them to have to deal with it. That was too much already, but he won't remember anyway and my mother did not hear it. They should hear it; they should know that my brother has tried to bully me, that he says aggressive and inane things to me when I do not adhere to his code. But they are old and I want their final years to be soft and free of strife. But that's the thing – they can stay ignorant and pretend that my "side" of the sibling rivalry is just as bad as my brother's. They can maintain their patriarchal worldview and write me off as strident. And women keep getting raped, and they keep getting beaten and they keep getting killed. Perhaps telling my parents the truth about their son and the difference between his worldview and mine would have no effect on those statistics. But allowing them to keep that easy ignorance, to think that my feminism is THE PROBLEM, surely does nothing to change the world that injures women every day.
I'll keep silent with my old parents and keep working in other venues. It feels phony, but that is the terrible bargain McEwan knows so well. And so do the rest of us.
Female Competition in the Workplace
All of the hullabaloo about the NYT piece popularizing Dr. Sarah B Hyrdy's work on female indirect aggression makes me think. Jess Eagle already skewers the too easy leaps of logic made by the Times writer, but something about this topic, forces me to dig deeper. The idea that sexual competition, or attempts to attract and keep mates, comprises the predominant form of competition between adult women seems laughable to me. My immediate work environment, with equal numbers of female and male faculty, and the larger pool of the entire University, with not-so-good numbers of female faculty, engenders competition between women and other women, but not so much between women and men. Current initiatives to train female faculty in leadership skills and mentor them into leadership roles appears to only exacerbate this skewed competition. Mind you, I do not blame the people conducting those important efforts or women themselves. We are hearing other somewhat conflicting messages that drown out or twist the leadership training. For example, in the past five years, a number of associate thises and associate thats (mostly associate deans) have been created and most of those positions have been filled – pointedly – with women. Yet the number of female deans (one) has remained exactly the same, despite turnover in two or three colleges. The President and Provost positions have turned over as well, and subsequently filled -surprise- with white men. Thus, women on our campus have been trained that they may dutifully compete with each other for these secondary roles, but the big prizes are still reserved for the be-penised.
This example points toward a different explanation of female competition to me. Girls and women are indeed taught to compete for boys/men/mates, which places lesbian women in a particularly confusing and unhelpful context, but this training serves to channel all female competition, at school, at work, in sport (compounded by the strict separation of boys and girls teams) toward other girls and women. Men are, both metaphorically and systemically, on a completely different playing field. Women compete with each other because we have been disallowed from competing with boys as children. In college when young people are developing career skills and perhaps modes of competition, women's and men's sports teams are still separated. We compete with each other because we have been trained to compete with each other and then repeatedly reminded that we do -in articles like those that popularize Hyrdy's work. Women do not see much possibility of being invited onto the boys team and their field / stadium nor are we offered any reason to make an attempt to compete with people viewed mainly as mates or oppressors. And what well trained hetero woman would turn around and compete with her mate after she has been told to compete for him? Rewriting the rules so that competition between men and women is both possible and fun, the way true competition can be, should be our aim.
Everything moves again
For some reason, my week's activities move outward from Sunday, from the long run. It might be only six miles, or it could be 18, depending on what I am training toward. Today it was an easy seven-miler at a speed that made me happy. Not blissfully happy, because that would require real speed and probably a new set of lungs, but reasonably happy. Like every week, I approached it with trepidation, fearing I would "fall out," during the run, or after it. It appears that a gin and tonic coupled with a late night and friends is good for my training because there was no band around my chest during the run, nor faintness afterward. Seems backwards when last week's good night of sleep and water only produced a painful, frustrating, almost forsaken nine-mile event.
From here, at the finish line of my weekly long run, I can approach the week, knowing I have done that one difficult thing, the one pure thing, already. And I'm not sure what the word "pure" even means here. Running is not necessarily clean, not especially natural, when one conducts it on a machine, in a basement; it's not even quiet, since my awesome partner, running next to me on another machine, usually creates a playlist of music for each long run. That idea of purity must reflect the superfluity of my long runs. They bring me no external benefit – I do not win races or post good times. If anything, my race times create more tension and bad feelings. The ongoing inability to become faster or perform on race day strains my relationship to the sport. Perhaps more pointedly, the time spent on the treadmill or the trail could be used to further my career if I did research and writing instead. I wish I were one of those people who composed journal articles or even lectures while running. Then I could justify my habit with extrinsic tangible rewards. But I rarely find any kind of academic inspiration during my long run. Yet, each week inevitably runs towards this event and builds away from it.
Perhaps my perversity allows me to perceive the long run as the touch-point, the beginning of and the summation of a week. It is almost constant in a life that I purposefully keep in flux. Few routines, limited schedules… and passports kept at the ready. Not an efficient life. But it does usually involve a long run, once a week.
Other People's Children are Not a Favor to You – #5 Living Child-free
In this space, I have written about the assumption that parents and especially mothers are morally superior to child-free people. In those stances about the assumed moral superiority of parents, the idea that parents sacrifice time, energy, financial resources and more for their offspring takes central attention. Of course, people make sacrifices, large and small for any number of reasons. Some sacrifice free time, sleep and other health considerations, as well as mental well-being in the pursuit of a career. Others sacrifice more specifically in those endeavors, such as dancers sacrificing joint health later in life for success in their ballet vocation, or priests sacrificing normalized sexuality to pursue a religious life. Beyond careers, people sacrifice enormously for any number of people in their lives, like the partner who stays with an extremely ill or drug-addicted person, while money, peace of mind, and even safety erode. Still others sacrifice for hobbies or artistic dreams, sometimes to extremes that others find laughable. But why is sacrificing for children inherently moral and sacrificing for a hobby laughable?
The idea that sacrifice in the pursuit of begetting and raising children is a moral endeavor, stems partly from the assumption that children are mostly a public, rather than a private good. In other words, our current conceptualization of children includes an unspoken belief that everyone eventually benefits from other people's children. This belief stems from some truisms, that many children grow up to be workers and citizens, contributing to society both through their economic production and their civic engagement. Capitalist ideology relies on the growth model, which requires new workers, and more importantly new markets (ie consumers). However, even putting aside environmental concerns, this model ignores quite a bit about who actually benefits from additional humans and who loses. As the editorial team from the Economist points out "for one thing, some people produce neither an economic nor fiscal benefit to society. Some children will end up as free-riders, consuming more than they create." Additionally, how do working and middle class people benefit from more workers? In fact, more workers only benefits the capitalists, who can pay less the more people there are vying for a job. The rest of us, in turn, have less ability to find a job or to negotiate for a higher wage if there are more people lining up for the same jobs. It also ignores the new reality that human workers are needed less and less in a robotic production paradigm.
Beyond the questionable assumption that children are a public good, I question the idea that they are not a private good. Rather, our nuclear family fetishization creates a world where children can only be a primarily private good. They benefit their parents and siblings more than the society at large. Some of these benefits are easily recognizable, even clichéd. When couples are urged to reproduce, a standard argument asks "who will take care of you when you grow old?" and indeed grown children bear much of the burden of elder care. The child-free must negotiate other avenues for assistance in their deteriorating years. Subsidizing benefits for parents – reifying the nuclear family – adds to a system that can undercut the social network for citizens in old age.
Other private benefits stem from the very assumptions we are attempting to undercut. For example, at some point in the middle adult years of most westerners, questions about career aspirations, life goals, and self-actualization writ large become inevitable. Children become a culturally sanctioned way to stave off disappointment. Even if you have not become a millionaire or saved the ocean reefs, you still can point to your children as your accomplishment, an accomplishment for which you sacrificed in other arenas to succeed. In some contexts, children also net other benefits. They are a not-to-be-questioned excuse to beg off of weekend events, both professional and social. I have mention the joys of sweet baby skin and could add the fun of passing along wisdom or skills to adoring little people, and I know others could provide numerous examples of the private benefits of children. Of course, most parents do put in much time in order to enjoy those benefits, but they pretend their time benefits everyone else. My argument here is simply that it really does not, and that child-free people need not feel guilty for not reproducing the means of production.
Fearless or Angry?
In the past few weeks, two very different versions of my style have emerged. A colleague complimented me for speaking out on certain topics, and called me "fearless." In that moment, my usual shame about the pseudo-working class rhetorical style I carry left me for a moment. Normally, I shift between two very different registers in my speech patterns. During formal research presentations and related moments, my style is overly formal, using the jargon of my field and elevated, even archaic language at times. This choice does not differ from most people in this kind of work environment, nor does the toggling I do from that register to a less formal one. The real difference is the level of informality represented in my other mode.
In less formal meetings and everyday conversations with colleagues, I find it impossible to sustain formal speech patterns, and sadly my lower register ranges from verbal tics of the very young – overusing "like" – to liberal use of blue language and harsh imagery. Often my use of profanity responds to troubling information about sexist happenings at my institution or to disappointing political news. Yet, my middle class, mid-western co-workers sometimes become put-off by vehemence or cursing. They accept me anyway, but their acceptance and collegiality seems to come despite my style. In other words, they look past it or show mild amusement at it, or less often, dismiss the vehemence. They do not see it as a strength, and usually, neither do I. I cringe when people who have never heard a family member curse, clearly feel uncomfortable with my language or my emphasis. For decades, I have worked to eliminate both certain patterns and individual words from my lexicon, and I can do so in the short term. I've also worked to dampen any obvious display of my anger and frustration, so that I don't frighten the people around me. They are hardly shy about voicing their opinions and can interrupt or talk over others when necessary, but they do it with a smile, which seems to make most things acceptable in this part of the world. But I'm still the person who heard raised voices and profanity almost daily but Tennyson only on the weekends, and my informal speech patterns reflect that legacy.
So when this co-worker named me "fearless" I was surprised. Pleased but quite surprised. Perhaps there are moments when my verbal style provides some clarity or allows others permission to be angry at truly unjust situations. It reminds me of a recent blog post about the usefulness of anger for feminists. The writer explains to readers that anger has been denied women, silencing them and others, who do not fit the norm. It also reminds me that my style can be an asset. While I have spent most of my professional life working to erase the class markers evident in my rhetoric, especially the easy move to righteous anger that makes the middle class so nervous, I may stop trying so hard.
Struggling with My Inner Anti-feminist
This weekend I attended events where I saw a common sight: young women in skinny jeans. Not running in much of a hipster crowd, most of the young men wore less revealing attire, diminishing attention to their body shape. As a woman who benefits somewhat from thin privilege, form revealing clothing strikes at one of my feminist difficulties. I am able to survive in the patriarchy without wearing make-up, and my tendencies toward comfort and (some) modesty mean that my clothes are rarely form-fitting, especially in winter. So my thinness, which could earn me cookies from the patriarchy, goes somewhat unnoticed. Obviously, people can see that I have a patriarchy-approved body type (up to a point), but they have no idea just how thin I am unless they see me in a swimsuit or one of my more –but still not very — form-fitting articles of clothing, which usually sit unworn in the closet.
Here is where my mind bifurcates, and I call out my inner anti-feminist. Why should I want people to give me approval for my body type? Why should I be jealous about said patriarchy cookies when they are doled out to women who wear what I would never feel comfortable sporting, namely skintight jeans and shirts just as form fitting? In an ideal world, approval and compliments would be based on people's kindness or their ability to help others, or at the very least on their skills or erudition, rather than on appearance. By my very attention to the approval they garner, I play into the patriarchy's game, and make myself crazy. Additionally, neither I, nor the skinny jeaned ones, have earned their shapes. While I am a runner, and I like working out and eating (mostly) healthy foods, realistically genetics have caused my shape. I would likely remain thin if I stopped running tomorrow and started regularly chowing on french fries. In other words, the attribute which I want people to notice, comes to me through the vagaries of chance, much like white skin. My desire for approbation, then, rings doubly false.
Oh, Kristoff, no no no.
In Kristoff's column today "She's (rarely) the Boss" he gets a few things right. He quotes Sheryl Sandberg who suggests that "We internalize the negative messages we get throughout our lives, the messages that say it's wrong to be outspoken, aggressive, more powerful than men. We lower our own expectations of what we can achieve." In fact, women are trained to demur, to assent, and to please.
But he gets something wrong by leaving out how women are punished when they do learn to be assertive. As Judge, Livingston, and Hurst explain women get less of a boost and may even lose by being assertive. They state that "exhortations for women not to be nice (Pfeffer, 2010) might be overblown. Nice girls might not get rich, but "mean" girls do not do much better. Even controlling for human capital, marital status, and occupation, highly disagreeable women do not earn as much as highly agreeable men" (39). Kristoff and Sandberg are correct that women are socialized to be nicer, but their advice for women to assert more may not work as well as their predictions. Women must walk a very fine line between pleasing an assertive, lest they get labeled troublemakers or worse. Those labels make it nearly impossible to leverage assertiveness in the workplace.
Finally, Kristoff while advocating for changes in organization structure, which are clearly needed given the above, flounders about what might need changing. Perhaps training males already in power to recognize differing leadership styles or teaching them how not to punish women for moments when they are assertive and negotiate, might be a good starting place. But instead Kristoff slides into child-centric language here, somehow connecting lack of assertion in women to "the need for structural changes to accommodate women and families." What do families, by which Kristoff means children, have to do with the unwillingness to ask for raises? Nothing, except perhaps that women are not assertive enough at home to create equitable child care structures. What is more troubling though, remains Kristoff's assumption that women will reproduce and that structural changes needs always respond to that reproductive choice, rather than the larger problems of gender expectations in the workplace. Of course, organizations should not judge workers for leaving at 5:30 for any reason, not just to spend time with children. If work-life balance was untethered from child raising, the concept could become gender neutral and benefit everyone.
In truth, the structural changes that would end the gender wage gap must begin long before women enter the workforce, in homes and schools, where parents do not expect girls to do housework and do not allow boys to be boys. Where educators train girls and boys to assert in appropriate ways, neither making excuses for overaggressive boys, nor punishing girls for unladylike demands for equality. All children and all adults should see adults of every gender modeling appropriate assertiveness ,and everyone should be trained and offered the chance to lead.
Morality for the Child-free – #4 in Living Child-Free Series
This post comes in response to commenter Rizarosette, who has been likened to a "monster," when admitting zie does not love children. In the United States parents are reviled subtly -it's true- for not "controlling" their children in public, for example, or for having too many children if you are a women, especially a non-white women, and the opposing side of that revulsion and accusation is the beatification of parents. Thus, if you have children, you are a moral person, a selfless person who "gives" for their children, regardless of the ways those children benefit the parents or the arguably selfish reasons for reproducing in the first place. For those of us like Rizarosette and me, that means we are by definition behind in the moral game. Either openly, like the "you monster" comment, or internally, people around us wonder what is wrong with child-free people, why they are so selfish, or simply deny them the sainted status that parents, especially mothers, or very involved fathers (that is its own problem) are awarded.
And for truly bad people, especially bad women, having a child is the perfect way to hide your evil. Remember Kate on Lost. She was able to beat a murder charge because she brought back a baby from the island, and played the mother card. Yes, I just called it that. I have close friends who do not believe anyone who has produced a child is capable of really bad behavior.
Conversely, anyone who has not reproduced is morally suspect and must re-prove their ethical bearing on a weekly, if not daily, basis. We are not lauded for our selfless choice to avoid using the planet's resources and adding to its pollution through more humans. We are not credited in the same ways for other behaviors that benefit the community. It grows tiring. Of course, raising children is also a tiring business. Maybe we could all just give each other credit for being fairly moral humans, neither perfect nor monstrous, regardless of our reproductive status.
Imagining Your Child-Free Life – #3 in Living Child-Free Series
The first two posts in this series address dealing with the expectations of repro-normative society. Perhaps belatedly, this post helps child-free adults cope with the repro-normative parts of their own psyche, imbedded by cultural programming. How do we imagine a life in a society that limits our image of success to a narrow image of a house, spouse, car, and kids? Such an image foregrounds material gain, in the house and car, provides for companionship in the limited focus on spouses, and squishes three important human desires into the notion of reproducing children. After a conversation about this post, I adopt the other dactyl's framing of these strands in human desire as growth, continuance, and doing good. Growth points toward our need to learn and change, continuance represents the longing to leave something lasting to the world, and doing good reflects a moral aspiration in most adult humans. Churches have long provided an answer to these three desires with chances for spiritual or intellectual growth, often the promise of an afterlife, and a moral dimension either through avoiding certain activities or participating in others. Raising children has been framed in these ways as well, especially as continuance. Yet, many other activities, practices, and ways of living provide fulfillment for those very human inclinations.
To begin imagining your child-free life, first, think about what you do now. Most of us have full lives with maintaining career or job, hobbies, a home, friends, partners when applicable, and other responsibilities. I include apartments and other living spaces as homes – you still must clean, plan meals, and do laundry regardless of the size, number of inhabitants, or arrangement of your home. In western culture, career itself can define a life because of our emphasis on material gain, and because some careers satisfy the three desires outright. Yet, I reject the suggestion that career aspirations should push out other concerns for child-free people. Instead, many types of physical training, spiritual practice, creative endeavors, and community service feed the metaphysical side and satisfy the need to give back and to produce something that endures. As career concerns ebb and flow, more energy may go toward such creative or community work.
For some, who focus on growth concerns, travel becomes the perfect way to cultivate positive movement, instead of settling into too-familiar routines. Of course, travel may not be an option for everyone, but it need not be as expensive or difficult as we believe, and, at least for me, seeing different landscapes, meeting new people, and adapting to unfamiliar cultural norms, provides infinite opportunity for growth, renewal, and engagement. Certain travels involve philanthropic or volunteer prospects as well, pointing toward both continuance and doing good.
While we are provided with a ready script of college, job, marriage, children – this script does not fit all of us. Some people – single, coupled, otherwise partnered – believe they can offer more to the world by remaining child-free and continuing the work they already do and building upon that work as their skill-levels, maturity, available resources, and wisdom burgeon.

'Could be Better!
By LG
from Louisville, KY
We waited 3 weeks for delivery of this unit which, we were told, was due to delayed delivery from Whirlpool. Dealer refunded delivery charge to compensate. Installation did not include safety cable to prevent tipping as on old Whilrpool stack washer/dryer. I installed the old cable myself.Rattle in the dryer was present at delivery and worsened over next week. Maytag Service came to tighten sheet metal screws to eliminate rattle 3 weeks after delivery.
Glad to have a washer and dryer in the house
By Ana Banana
from Santiago, Dominican Republic
The 27 inches across was good because of the small space but the depth of 36 inches was a problem. I had to move it the another place where the fridge was. It had to be converted to the same type of gas I use for cooking in the Dominican Republic where gas cylinders are the norm.
Noisy washer cycles
By LarryG
from Dracut, MA
Bought this one month ago, smaller than our previous combo machine. Biggest problem is the washer noise thru all modes.

Efficient Unit
Writing this review after one day of use. The washer is smaller than our last combination machine, will have to get used to doing smaller loads. I find this model to be noisy.
Small but does the job
By LWB64
from St. Charles, MO
Been using this for about a month, pretty small washer capacity so I have to do smaller loads than I'm accustomed to but it is efficient and pretty quiet. The dryer capacity is a little better and does a pretty decent job of getting things dry, but the timed cycle only goes to 50 minutes...barely long enough for most of my stuff. Permanent press cycle is better, trying to work it out so I don't have stuff in for too long.
Perfect fit for limited space
By Jason the fighter
from Peoria
I have a small house and need to utilize all my space. This combo unit allows me save a ton of space. It's also a quick and efficient washer. The heat sensor on the dryer works like a charm.

Great washer dryer combo but wish it had more capacity
By MHL
from New York, New York
Product works well but, because of changed dimensions, is much smaller than prior model which fit in the same space. New model is deeper than former and so, we had to go with the smaller capacity model in order to fit into the same space.
Amazing little machine
By Captain Charlie
from St. Helens, OR
I live in a small house. This Thin Twin fits in a small closet and performs perfectly. I have owned it for 2 months and could not be happier with its performance
Great machines!

Both washer and dryer are quiet and very efficient. They hold more clothes than I had expected, which helps me finish all my washing and drying work quickly and quietly.

Holly Hunter wishes "Saving Grace" was filmed in Oklahoma City, too
Holly Hunter in "Saving Grace"
TV Editor Penny Soldan has a great interview with "Saving Grace" star Holly Hunter about the new developments coming to the TNT drama over on her TV Blog.
The second season of "Saving Grace" resumes at 9 tonight on the cable channel.
In the story, Penny talked with the Oscar winner about her desire to film the show in Oklahoma City. The show is currently set in OKC but filmed in Los Angeles. Both of Hunter's parents were born in Oklahoma and her grandparents took part in the Land Run.
"Oh, man, I wish we could come to Oklahoma for some filming, but it's a question of money, which is a drag," Hunter tells Penny.

Two recipes – Polenta Lasagna and Carrot Casserole
Thanks to my friend Sonja for turning me onto polenta and sharing this recipe with me. Polenta Lasagna Ingredients: Tomato sauce Polenta (I used the kind with sun-dried tomatoes and garlic) Basil Vegetables (optional – I used red Swiss chard and black olives) Cheese (I used Monterrey Jack) Instructions: Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of your dish to prevent sticking. Spread a layer of polenta (you can soften it in the microwave first). Add a layer of sauce. Sprinkle some basil on the sauce. Add the vegetables (which should be cooked a bit first to prevent crunchy vegetables in the lasagna).Read More →

May 29, 2016
Attorney General Mike Cox is asking the United States Supreme Court to give states the power to regulate alcohol sales. This after a lower court ruled that out of state alcohol could be shipped into the state by unlicensed dealers. There is a stay on the ruling right now, so it is illegal to ship alcohol for home deliveries from out of state. But several investigations have revealed that residents can still buy beer, wine and liquor over the internet, and have it shipped right to their homes.
One of Cox's concerns is the ability of underaged kids to buy alcohol online. It seems many companies only require a credit card, driver's license and a click of the mouse to buy alcohol. Some under-age buyers were even able to enter a fake birthday in order to buy liquor.
The state also says it can't regulate alcohol quality or collect taxes when unlicensed, unregulated alcohol is allowed in Michigan.
Now that the Cox has entered the appeal, the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is still in charge and mulling political, social and economic policies even as he receives a new round of chemotherapy, his vice president said Saturday.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro said the 58-year-old socialist leader, who is convalescing in seclusion at a Caracas military hospital, had sent "guidance" to his cabinet as recently as Friday.
"He is staying informed and in charge as the chief who was ratified by our people various times," Maduro said during an event broadcast on state-run television.
The opposition, however, says the government is lying about Chavez's condition and doubts Maduro's claim that Chavez held a five-hour meeting with his cabinet on February 22, giving orders in writing because a tracheal tube hinders his speech.
Maduro cast the doubts aside and repeated that the meeting had taken place, insisting that the president had sent further instructions the following day, before offering fresh guidance on Friday.
The leftist leader's chosen successor Maduro showed a dossier Chavez had requested, containing "political, social and economic actions" to "continue strengthening the economy to face the economic war of the parasitic bourgeoisie".
He said the "central document" will be sent to Chavez, adding that the government was "respecting his treatment" and "not acting in an invasive way in his treatment".
Chavez, who was first diagnosed with cancer in the pelvic region in June 2011, underwent a fourth round of surgery in Cuba in December. The government has never disclosed the exact nature, location and severity of the cancer.
Maduro revealed for the first time late Friday that Chavez had began a new cycle of chemotherapy in January and decided to return to Caracas last month to continue a "more intense" phase of treatment.
Chavez was in "good spirits" but fighting for his life, Maduro said.
One of Chavez's daughters, Maria Gabriela, responded Saturday to the publication online of a picture of her looking sad during mass.
"Sadness? I can't be happy when my dad is sick! But I continue to cling to my God," she wrote on Twitter.
"At the next mass I will have to dance and laugh! I always thought that a mass was something something serious! People are very crazy," she wrote.
In Bolivia President Evo Morales, a close Chavez ally who visited Venezuela late last month and made an unsuccessful attempt to visit him in hospital, also offered an insight on the situation.
Speaking to reporters in the city of Cochabamba, Morales indicated that the Venezuelan president's condition was unstable and prone to sudden changes.
"According to his doctors and family members there are moments when he is feeling well and strong, but quickly problems appear and he suffers something like a relapse," the Bolivian president said.
The once omnipresent Venezuelan leader has not been seen in public in almost three months. Only four pictures were released, on February 15, showing him smiling from his Havana hospital bed with his two daughters.
Around 50 university students have spent every night this week chained to each other in the middle of a Caracas street, demanding that the government "tell the truth" about Chavez.
The government has accused the opposition and "fascist" foreign media of spreading rumours about Chavez to destabilize the nation, which sits atop the world's largest proven oil reserves.
"We want to see Chavez recover and healthy, and we want him to be in peace, doing the treatment that needs to be done," said Foreign Minister Elias Jaua.
"Those who don't want Chavez to recover are those who use blackmail, criminal pressure, miserable pressure that we will not cede to," Jaua said.
Maduro, meanwhile, accused opposition leader Henrique Capriles of "conspiring" against Venezuela during trips to the United States and Colombia, and warned him not to "violate the rule of law".
He said Capriles, the Miranda state governor who lost to Chavez in the October presidential election, had met with "paramilitaries" in Colombia and was now in the United States.
The vice president said Capriles travelled to Miami and New York this weekend and was planning to meet Roberta Jacobson, the US State Department's top official for Latin America.

I had to have two fuel lines replaced because they were leaking. Now my mpg has dropped. I use to get about 400 miles per full tank of gas now I'm barely getting 300. I took a look at the gas lines and noticed they are fatter than my originals. The place that did the repair said the size wouldn't make a difference to my mpg.

Black college students at predominantly white campuses feel internal cultural tension
NORMAN — When George Lee first came to the University of Oklahoma in 2009, he felt out of place.
Lee, who is black, grew up in a low-income, predominantly black neighborhood in Bryan, Texas, near College Station. But when he arrived at OU, he said, he felt pressure to change how he spoke and acted to integrate himself into the dominant culture.
He felt like he couldn't be the same person he'd been in his old neighborhood, he said. He felt like he was being asked to trade part of his "blackness" for the values and characteristics of the dominant white culture on campus.
"There had to be some type of a trade-off," Lee said.
The idea of double consciousness — when a person's identity is divided between two cultures — isn't new. Sociologist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois explored the idea in his 1903 book "The Souls of Black Folk." But a new study suggests the conflict remains for many black college students today.
According to records from the National Center for Education Statistics, 64 percent of OU's undergraduates in the fall 2011 semester were white. Just 5 percent of undergraduates in 2011 were black.
At Oklahoma State University, 73 percent of undergraduates in 2011 were white, while only 5 percent were black.
According to a recent study published in the National Communication Association's journal, Communication Education, black students at predominantly white universities still often struggle to assimilate themselves into a culture they see as different from their own.
The study consisted of six focus groups spread out over three universities — a major Midwestern university in a small, rural community; a major Midwestern private university in a larger city; and a major Southwestern public university in a small metropolitan area. At each of the three schools, black students made up 8 percent or less of the overall student population.
According to the study, many of the students reported feeling an internal tension between remaining proud of their own culture and altering their own language or culture to adapt to the perceived "whiteness" of their universities.
That inner conflict continues when those students return home, according to the report. Of the 67 students involved in the focus groups, 52 were first-generation college students. Those students reported their families didn't have an understanding of the students' college experiences and the desire for a college degree.
One student reported feeling out of place during a summer family reunion, according to the report.
"I want to make it, have a job ... and they keep asking why I'm not married," the student said. "I don't even bother explaining the idea that I am preparing myself for law school."
Lee, an African American Studies major at OU, said he notices that difference when he returns to Texas and talks to family and neighbors in the neighborhood where he grew up. Family and friends treat him with greater privilege, he said. He's also more aware of the poverty and drug use in the neighborhood than he was while he was growing up, he said.
One of the study's authors said colleges and universities need to do a better job of engaging black college students and their communities.
Jake Simmons, a professor at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, said schools could help alleviate that tension by implementing programs that reach out not only to students, but also to their families and home communities to let them know what's happening on campus.
Simmons said universities could also develop multicultural programs that do a better job of representing the entirety of students' home cultures, rather than simply holding a stereotypical celebration for major holidays.
Spencer Davis, an OU student from Tulsa, said he's felt the conflict between his own heritage and the surrounding culture since before he came to OU. Davis, who is black, attended Jenks High School, which is predominantly white.
Davis, 19, is a second-generation college student — his father graduated from OU and his mother has a degree from the University of Tulsa.
When Davis was in high school, it was obvious that he was in the minority, he said. He felt the internal conflict between his heritage and his surroundings then, he said, but he adopted the speech patterns and culture of the people around him.
After a while, Davis realized he wasn't totally comfortable speaking with other black people, he said. When he came to OU, his social network broadened to include friends from several races. But he still feels like he belongs to multiple groups, leaving him to figure out where he fits.
"It hasn't really impeded me," he said. "I've definitely managed to navigate it now."

Ariela was a great host. She really got out of her way to accommodate our needs and schedules, and willingly gave us a hand when we needed it. Highly reccommended.
Wir hatten nur zwei Tage Zeit in Jerusalem und waren sehr froh über das Apartment. Die Lage ist wirklich sehr gut, zentral und ruhig. Ariela war sehr zuvorkommend und angenehm und im Apartment funktionierte alles (z.B. die Dusche, ein toller Fön, Waschmaschine u. Trockner) hervorragend. Im von Ariela empfohlenen 'Café de Paris' haben wir zweimal sehr gut gegessen. Insgesamt ist die Wohnung unbedingt zu empfehlen, vielen Dank!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very comfortable and clean place, 15 mins. walk from Jaffo Gate of the old town. Also not far from the central bus station. Ariela was helpful host with all information I needed. I would definitely come back.

Hello Wimdu people!
Here is our review of "excellent location 2BR apartment", Jerusalem,August 2013.
Our stay in Israel was wonderful for the most part thanks to our landlady Ariela Nevo who did her utmost to guide us with her support (taxis,car rental,phone calls etc...) in order to make our stay as comfortable as possible.The location was indeed " excellent",the AC worked perfectly,the cleaning of the apartment and the linnen were something we did not really expect.It was a bonus!!! Ariela is an understanding person,thinking more than usual about other people.
This is a great area where to spend your holiday It is called Thalbiya situated in the middle of the great,holy city of JERUSALEM.We lived there for 2 weeks, in Ariel´s place,a very good apartment run professionaly by a respectable "grande dame".
Our warmest recommendations!
Salomon,Laura and family

Mike Bennett debuts in TNA
Over the past several days, TNA has been teasing a newcomer with the term, "Miracle". On the POP TV debut episode of Impact Wrestling this week, rumors about Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis joining the promotion have been confirmed, as the two former ROH star finally made their debut. Bennett informed Total Nonstop Action fans that he was there to pursue the world heavyweight championship.

Ethan Carter winning TNA belt
For those that missed the POP TV debut of Impact Wrestling, Ethan Carter is once again the world heavyweight champion in TNA. That is quite interesting as the original plans called for Bobby Lashley to defeat Matt Hardy for the belt. No official word yet on why management made the change, but there are speculations that Lashley might need to focus more on his MMA training now that he is a top contender for a Bellator title.

Impact Wrestling draws more
Whenever a television show moves from one television network to another, there is usually a drop in viewership because not everyone remembers the change or knows how to find the new channel. Dixie Carter has to be pleased because Impact Wrestling drew in more viewers on their POP TV debut than they did during their final televised episode on Destination America.

Awesome Kong turning face
As some of you may have seen on Impact Wrestling, Taryn Terrell did a heel turn and introduced a new stable called the Dollhouse (with Mia Yim and Marti Belle). The trio attacked Awesome Kong to help Taryn retain the belt. That has led many to wonder what Kong would do next. There are rumors floating around that TNA is considering a face turn for her. She would debut a kinder and gentler version of her character.

Drew McIntyre and Crimson
For those that have not heard, former WWE star Drew McIntyre recently made his debut on Impact Wrestling. He is now under contract to TNA. Many are curious to see how much of a push he is going to receive, as some felt that he should have already been a main event performer in this industry by now. His current company wants to start him off a bit slower than what fans would like. There are talks that he will form a tag team with Crimson.

Alberto Del Rio contract
Right before Impact Wrestling made its debut on Destination America, TNA wanted to make a big splash by signing a well known performer to make a surprise appearance. A $400,000 contract was put on the table for Alberto Del Rio. Management even sweetened the deal by limiting the amount of appearances that he would be required to make during the year. For whatever reasons, the former world heavyweight champion declined the offer.

Awesome Kong to England
When Awesome Kong made her surprising return on the debut episode of Impact Wrestling on Destination America, some wondered if it was a temporary thing, as she left TNA on bad terms. Apparently, everything has been mended, and Kong will be working a full time schedule for the company. Management even released the news that the former Knockouts Champion has been added to the upcoming tour of England as well.

Baylor, TCU have 1st conference game in 17 years
WACO, Texas (AP) — A few things have changed since Baylor and TCU played their wild season-opening game last year.
For the first time in 17 years, the Bears and Horned Frogs will play as conference rivals after TCU's addition to the Big 12 this summer.
Robert Griffin III, who started his Heisman Trophy-winning season with five touchdown passes in Baylor's 50-48 victory a year ago, is now starting for the Washington Redskins after being the NFL's second overall draft pick. And Casey Pachall, the TCU quarterback who threw three touchdowns in the fourth quarter in his starting debut that night, is no longer with the Horned Frogs after helping them start 4-0 this season.
What hasn't changed is that Baylor (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) is still piling up big offensive numbers and playing TCU again at home, where the Bears have won nine games in a row.
Even with RG3 gone, the Bears are leading the nation in passing yards (417 per game) and are second in total offense (602 yards) and scoring (54 points). Nick Florence is the FBS leader with 435 total yards per game, and Terrance Williams is averaging a nation's best 167 yards per game.
The Bears take the field Saturday night for the first time since their 70-63 loss at Big 12 newcomer West Virginia two weeks ago.
TCU (4-1, 0-1) is also coming off its first loss, 37-23 at home last week to Iowa State after redshirt freshman Trevone Boykin took over for Pachall, who this week withdrew from school and entered an inpatient treatment program.
Dual-threat quarterback Boykin was working at tailback last week before Pachall's arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. Boykin threw for 270 yards and a touchdown, but he had three interceptions — on his first attempt and then two in the fourth quarter, one returned for a touchdown.
"We're talking about playing the first Big 12 game, and I think Iowa State is a good defense. We ran 83 plays for 455 yards," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "The key, you can't throw interceptions, especially not for touchdowns, and you can't turn the ball over. Got to do a better job of managing the game."
That could be easier with Boykin now solely focused on playing quarterback.
"We're excited about it," Patterson said. "He gave us some options we really didn't have before, so we'll move forward with that."
Asked about how TCU's quarterback situation affects his defense's preparation, Baylor coach Art Briles said the Bears just have to focus on themselves and make the necessary adjustments.
The last time Baylor and TCU played as league rivals was in 1995, the final season of the Southwest Conference, when the Bears 27-24 at home. The schools about 100 miles apart played four times in the interim, the Frogs winning the first three of those before last year's game.
Baylor is looking forward to finally getting into a routine after a season-opening stretch already with two open dates and two non-Saturday games. The Bears opened the season on a Sunday, and also had a Friday night game.
"We would have liked to have kept playing (after West Virginia). Our schedule has been a little erratic," Briles said.
The Bears now have games now on eight consecutive Saturdays, and used last week to adjust to a normal game-week schedule.
"I think it will be good. We've handled the ups and downs and the different schedules really well and now we're finally getting in a routine," Florence said. "It will be fun to get in a rhythm of things."

Hi! Welcome to lynda.com Getting Started with Apple Color. I am Robbie Carman. First thing's first. I am so excited to start to explore Color with you. And I know that after going through this course, you are going to be just as excited as I am. Before we jump into the actual App, I would like to spend a few minutes talking about a couple of things. Who I am, why I love Color, and what you are going to get out of this course. So who am I? Well I am a colorist, I have worked on major shows for networks like Discovery Channel, National Geographic. But I have also done a lot of corporate work. I am an online editor, which basically means I am the nit-picky guy of the end of the edit pipeline who works on a show before it goes to air.
I am an Apple Certified Trainer. I am certified in all levels of Final Cut Pro, Motion, of course, Color, Aperture and probably, a few others that I am not even remembering right now. I am an author. I have written a couple of books about Final Cut Pro and I have also been a technical editor on several books about color correction. And I am a postproduction consultant. I have helped major networks like Discovery and National Geographic, integrate Final Cut Pro Studio workflow into their own workflows. So why do I love Color? Well, I love Color because it's a mix of the technical and creative. There is a certain aspect of it that's technical problem solving; fixing shots that are bad. But then there is also the aspect of the creative where we can really make shots look very, very cool by applying looks and doing other new things to them.
I get to be the unsung hero and what I mean by that is because if I do my job right in Color, nobody ever notices my work. Well, hopefully they do. But the point is, is that I get to really do a lot of behind the scenes work that really makes a project shine. Creating for everyone; finally, we have a solution in Color that allows everyone to color grade. No longer we are limited to million dollar solutions that only be a league of the postproduction, well, can afford. Integrated Workflow; this is perhaps the best thing I like about Color because now we have a solution that's integrated with the rest of the Final Cut Studio applications. And of course, it's from Apple. And how can you not love a product when it is from Apple? So what is this course all about? Well, this course is understanding the color correction process. It's about getting projects form Final Cut Pro to Color.
It's about learning the basics of the Color interface. What things are called and what they do? It's about making primary and secondary corrections to our footage. And ultimately, it's about getting our project from Color back to Final Cut Pro. So once again, I am very excited for the opportunity to start exploring Color with you. In the next two lessons, we will get some background information about what is color correction? And take a brief look at color correction in Final Cut Pro versus Color. And then in the next five lessons, we will jump into Color and get ours hand dirty. Thanks again for joining me, Robbie Carman, and lynda.com in Getting Started with Apple Color.
