|U.S. Attorney's Office April 11, 2012
ROCHESTER—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Michael Williams, 47, and Chelsea Willenborg, 20, of Rochester, New York, were arrested and charged by criminal complaint with the sex trafficking of a minor. The charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum penalty of life, and a fine of $250,000.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany H. Lee, who is handling the case, stated that according to the complaint, on February 8, 2012, Rochester Police responded to a city residence to investigate a report that a 16- year-old-female was missing, being held against her will, and being forced to perform sexual acts. A family member had seen an Internet advertisement with the victim's picture and had tried to contact the number listed on the website to speak with the victim. The investigation led to a residence on Caroline Street in Rochester where Chelsea Willenborg resided. While at the residence, investigators observed a laptop computer that appeared to show a backpage.com conversation regarding a meeting that was being arranged at a hotel on Jefferson Avenue. Inevstigators went to the hotel where they found the victim, along with Willenborg.
According to the complaint, the victim indicated that she was taken to the Caroline Street address by Michael Williams and that she had told both Williams and Willenborg that she was 16 years old. The complaint further alleges that, soon after arriving, Williams and Willenborg took pictures of the victim, which they uploaded onto the website backpage.com. Men began to respond to the ads, and the victim was told to meet up with the men by the defendants. The victim told investigators that the money she received after meeting the men and performing sexual acts would then be given to Willenborg, who, in turn, gave the money to Williams.
Both Willenborg and Williams face New York State sex trafficking charges in Monroe County.
"Human trafficking on any level is aggressively investigated and prosecuted by this office," said U.S. Attorney Hochul. "This case is particularly troubling because it involves allegations that a minor was held against her will and forced into prostitution. The one promise we in law enforcement make is that anyone engaged in similar behavior will be tracked down and brought to justice."
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
The criminal complaint is the culmination of an investigation on the part of the FBI's Cyber Crimes Task Force, which includes the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, under the direction of Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn; the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief James Sheppard; and special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Christopher M. Piehota, Special Agent in Charge; and the Monroe County District Attorney's Office, under the direction of Sandra Doorley.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

"They" say spring is here. The weatherman says spring is here. The calendar says spring is here. The robins say spring is here. Okay, yesterday measured to 58 degrees as the sun was hanging in the western sky. Today, "they" say the temperature will reach 60 degrees or more and tomorrow will be in the 30s. Spring is here!
Two days ago a cyclist pedaled laboriously into the wind as he rode down the street. He looked really cold! He looked really exhausted! He looked as though he wanted to be home and sitting by the heat. He didn't look like spring!
Okay, it will happen any day. Temperatures will warm and the sky will brighten and the next day will be the same or better, and so on. It does happen every year. Perhaps this year will be the same.
As soon as the weather looks promising enough to take a long get-a-way weekend Rising Sun is calling. The roads are great. The scenery is fantastic and you can start your trip by planning a long day of riding, followed by a great meal at "The Driftless Café" not too far from Blue Dog Cycles.
Blue Dog Cycles is the perfect place to start and end your ride. Good bikes, good food and good shopping. Driftless & Carefree! See if you can find it. It's worth the time.
Always wear a Helmet & Happy Cycling

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 12 September 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520912-JWC-TC-01; CL 27: 280-283
Sunday / 5 Cheyne Row [12 September 1852]
As there was already a letter gone to you, Dear, and as next day was Sunday, when there would be some human quiet, I did not answer yesterday by return of post, but went instead to the City where I had business. Indeed it was well to get out into Space yesterday, for the Plasterers were rushing about like demons finishing off, and clearing away their scaffoldings &c; and the Plumbers were once more boiling lead in the kitchen to repair some spout on the roof, and a note I had written to Mr Morgan, that your Brother Alick "never did the like o',"1 in point of sarcasm, had produced an influx of things perfectly bewildering! and the two carpenters, who have been too long together fell to quarrelling, so loud that I had to send the painter to express my sentiments. In fact it was a patent Hell here yesterday for any "lover of quiet things"2— In the evening I had a tea party to wind up with. Had madly invited some people to meet a man who after all couldnt come but will come next Tuesday instead! The man was Herzen3 whom you have had some correspondence with— He is in London for a short time, and was very bent on seeing you,4 and Saffi who is much with him asked leave to bring him to me—not as being "all the same as Mr Dondle"5 but as the Hades thro' which these people pass to you—or hope TO! So I said he might bring him last night, and asked Darwin and the Reichenbachs and Brookfield to meet him—all in this end of a room! there were six of us and we spoke four languages! And it is all to be done over again on Tuesday! Herzen is not a German as you fancied him but a Russian, and he is rich, which is indicated by his having given Mazzini two hundred pounds for HIS objects!! Chapman6 has told Saffi to write him 3 articles one on Italian religion 2 more on Italian literature—and Saffi is very thankful to you— The other Chapman when I was in his shop the other day to get a note from him to Griffiths7 made me again the offer of "very advantageous terms" for a novel of my own!— So I have something to "retire upon"8 in prospect, not inferior to "an old washer woman" But meanwhile what a pity it is that you cant get any good sleep—all the rest would be made smooth for you were that one condition granted—it is not only german beds however that one cant get sleep in—three nights ago in desperation I took a great doze of Morphia for the same state of things, and was thankful to get four hours of something like forgetfulness by that questionable means— I am not otherwise ill however; that one horrid headach I told you of has been my only real illness since you left—
I had a long very nice letter from John two days ago—his marriage is not to come off till November or December— He talks about it with an innocent faith that is quite touching, and already seems to be "seeing his way" more clearly than I ever knew him to do Thomas Erskine too wrote to me: that "he loved me much and wished he could see me what God intended me for"— I answered his letter begging him to tell me "what God intended me for,"—since he knew and I didn't! It would be a satisfaction even to know it. It is surely a kind of impiety to speak of God as if he too were "with the best intentions always unfortunate"!—either I am just what God intended me for, or God cant "carry out" his intentions it would seem!—and in that case I for "one solitary individual" cant worship him the least in the world!
I had a visit the other morning from Cooper the Chartist9 come not to pay the 5£ he borrowed but to "ask for more"! You had desired him he said to apply to you again if he were again in difficulty!! I told him that I "had none to give him" and he took the refusal like a man used to it, quite "light and airy"
Fanny is really a nice servant a dash of Irish "rough and ready" in her, but a good cleaner and a good cook, and a perfect incarnation of The Willing Mind! Very tidy too in her own person under all circumstances. An awful complication revealed itself two or three days after she came which she stood by me under with a jolliness that was quite admirable— When the new painted kitchen was capable of being slept in she fell to taking the bed in pieces to give it "a good washing"— Ann who would never be at the trouble to look to her bed, pretended when she did finally take it down by my express order before she went away, to have found "nothing worth mentioning"—"just four bugs" and these "very small ones"—like the girls illegitimate child— Well I was sitting writing here when Fanny came and said "Do step down mam and see what I have kept to show you"—and when I had gone down not knowing what she had been at, there, lay her bed all in pieces, and beside it a large basin of water containing the drowned bodies of something like two hundred bugs!! The bed perfectly swarmed with these "small beings"—was in fact impregnated with them beyond even my cleansing powers! We gathered it all up and carried it out into the garden to be sold to a Broker who is coming for certain rubbish of things and I went the same day and bought a little iron bed stead for the kitchen, for £1.2.6d— The horror of these bugs quite maddened me for many days and I would not tell you of them at the time, that you might not feel them prospectively biting you—but now I think we are "quite shut10 of them"—The Painter's consolation that he knew "fine houses in Belgrave Square where they were crawling about the drawingroom floors" did not help me at all!
The poor white cat no longer gives offence to Nero—I suppose she "couldn't stand the muddle" like that girl who went away; for she also went away, into infinite space—two weeks ago! Darwin says if I can put up with "a cat with a bad heart" I may have his—"that minds me" (as Helen used to say) of an Italian living with Mazzini at present who is beating Saffi hollow in "the pursuit of English under difficulties"—sitting down by some Englishman the other day, he said "fluently" "Now let me have nice cat together"! (chat)
How disappointed poor Bolte will be that I am not along with you!— I will write to her, say. Mr Kenyon11 and Browning left their cards for me yesterday I heard at Addiscombe that Macaulay was ill of some mortal disease—but the information seemed vague—Thiers is expected at the Grange the first of November "to stay till they come to London and live on at Bath house after"—and now A Jew!12 A Jew! for I have still some writing to do before I go out a letter to Geraldine in the Isle of Man, and one to John
My love to Neuberg and bid him "be strong"
affectionately yours

Pentagon to Cut Budget by $78 Billion Over Five Years
It's actually a reduction in growth.
"We must come to realize that not every defense program is necessary, not every defense dollar is sacred or well-spent, and more of everything is simply not sustainable," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said today, noting that the reduction actually represents a "decline in the rate of growth" since the budget will continue to grow "in absolute dollars." The cuts will include a reduction in active troop size and an eventual spending freeze. [WP]

This past Sunday, the movie business folks awarded one another for their cinematic successes over the past year. Amidst the revelry, many filmmakers and actors spoke of how the magic of movies often reflects the beauty of reality and vise-versa.
While awards shows do their best to mix the art with real life, the over-produced spectacle that is The Oscars can also serve as a reminder to occasionally break away from the continuous entertainment cycle.
So instead of sticking around last weekend, this examiner sought out some balance between make-believe and the real world by paying a visit to the kings of all the trees at Sequoia National Park.
As we scuttle about our desert city, maintaining relationships and establishing new connections, we too easily forget that California has some of the most stunning natural beauty on Earth, much of which is only a short drive from the bustle of Hollywood.
Joshua Tree - two hours.
Yosemite - five hours
Death Valley - four hours.
Big Sur - five hours
Sequoia - together with King's Canyon - is a magical mountain landscape up in the Sierras where time stands still and the massive, red bohemoths seem to preside over not just California's central valley but the whole of our home planet too.
You could talk about the need for inspiration. You could mention a desire to escape from the constant pressures of life as a burgeoning creative force in a sea of uncertainty. But when you're standing at the bottom of a nearly 3,000 year old Monarch Sequoia, listening to the deafening silence of the ancient forest, you quickly realize that your opinions, frustrations, failures, successes and even your feelings just don't matter so much.
It's a very calming realization.
If the magic of art lies in its ability to transport you to other worlds, the magic of the natural world is limitless.
One of the toughest challenges as a writer is to create art from that which is difficult to pinpoint in real life. So if it's been a while since you last found yourself at a loss for words, it may be time for a new kind of challenge.
Put aside all the big city hoopla and go bear witness to something truly magnificent.
And when you do, see if you can describe your experience with something more than just...

Dec. 28, 2011
Head Coach Lisa Stockton
Overall thoughts on the game
"I thought we did a lot of good things defensively in the first half. We just didn't shoot well at all. We had open shots and just didn't hit them. In the second half, we did a lot better job of just finding the most open shot we could get and turning over the ball less. Those two things were the key."
On if she felt fortunate to be tied with College of Charleston at halftime
"I did. Our defense is pretty good so we know we can usually count on that. Offensively, it was a case of us just trying to get our rhythm. We made a run right before the half that got us even with them. The thing we felt the best about was we knew we didn't play well offensively and knew we had to make sure we got some better shots in the second half."
On Tulane's second-half effort against the Cougars
"Our press got going and we got some steals off our press. We tried to create some offense from our defense and that really helped a lot. Getting those easy baskets and getting to the free throw line early in the second half really gave us the lead and we were able to hang on."
On Tulane turning the ball over in the first half
"In the first half, they had 23 points and 11 were off turnovers. Once again, our defense was good. We just had to take care of the ball. In the second half, we were a little more steady. We had a few turnovers in the middle there but nothing that really led to scores like they did in the first half."
On Danielle Blagg's performance against College of Charleston
"I thought Danielle played a really good floor game. She got a lot of rebounds and hit some shots when we needed them. They went into the zone and we were able to hit some 3s on it. That really changed the pace of the game."
On to what she can contribute the Green Wave's sluggish start
"I think we've had a few games were we came out sluggish. We came out a little bit like we did against Southern. I thought College of Charleston did a good job of taking advantage of it. When we turned the ball over, they scored. We came out with not as much energy as we needed. In the second half, it was a little bit of a different team. This has always been one of those times when you just have to keep your focus. I think it was probably a five-day layover and trying to get back in it."
Junior Guard Olivia Grayson
On her individual performance against the Cougars
"I just did what I needed to do to help us get the win. We were struggling a little bit shooting the ball. We have been off for a couple of days and worked to get the rust off a little bit. We came out a little slow."
On Tulane struggles shooting the ball early on
"We just had one of those nights. Everybody has them. We were getting open looks and just weren't knocking them down. We were missing layups and shots that we normally make. We'll hit those. We just had to relax, take our time and focus on our technique of the shot."
On the Green Wave's last five minutes of the first half and first five of the second half
"We just picked up the intensity on defense. We really focused on our defense to turn into offense. We weren't shooting the ball well so we figured if we get some steals, some break-away layups and some wide-open shots, we'd knock those down. We just focused on our energy and intensity."
On what Coach Stockton told the team at halftime
"She told us about our turnovers and that we had to take care of the ball because most of their points came off our turnovers. If we took away those turnovers, they wouldn't even be in the game with us. We focused on that and came out better in the second half."

Hardly a day has passed recently without Justin Bieber making the headlines for one scandal after another. Beliebers are now really pleased they never lost faith in Bieber as news now hits the press that the DUI charge against Bieber was dramatically dropped, reported Inquisitr on Jan. 27, 2014. Bieber may now be facing just one misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest without violence in Miami, with it being perfectly understandable to his fans why he was in such shock when he was pulled over.
Initially Bieber had been charged with driving under the influence, driving with an expired license, and resisting arrest without violence while driving a rented yellow Lamborghini in Miami. Than many inconsistencies with the police report surfaced and a surveillance video of the so-called drag-race did not reveal any wrongdoing. It has surfaced that Bieber's blood-alcohol level in two Breathalyzer tests taken at Miami Beach Police station was estimated at 0.014 and 0.011, which are below the general 0.08 legal limit and Florida's 0.02 limit for under 21′s. This would mean Bieber perhaps had less than one beer.
The good news has continued to roll in for the Bieber team with reports out of Los Angeles that the L.A. County Sheriff's Department found no evidence that Bieber egged his neighbors house when deputies searched his mansion, reports TMZ. There turns out to be no videos which show Bieber at the scene of the egging incident. This case is now being reviewed by the L.A. County District Attorney and it appears it may be dropped. It is turning out to be rather unusual to have so many allegations of wrongdoing made against Bieber when it appears he has actually not done anything much wrong, with it appearing Bieber is an innocent victim of circumstance.

by Lisa W. Dixon
(Clarksdale, Mississippi, USA)
How long does this process normally take?
I am 34 years old. I will be 35 years old in about 5 weeks.
I have had an abortion and I believe I received some tissue damage from that.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about a year. I went to my doctor and after performing a laparascopy, hysteroscopy, and chromopertubation, he informed me that my tubes are blocked.
Time required to Unlock Falloian Tubes Naturally
Hi Lisa,
If you chose to follow the a natural approach to unblock your fallopian tubes, you need to do this for at least 4-6 months without interruption.
The time necessary to unblock fallopian tubes naturally depends on the nature of the damage and the cause of the blockage. If the blockage was cause by fluid build up, it will be easier to unblock naturally as long as there is no damage caused by adhesions.
If the block is caused by endmetriosis, it will be harder to unblock the fallopian tubes with natural means if the scar tissue has caused too much damage.
It is really hard to say how long it will take and if it can be unblcoked. It all depends on each case individually.
The FallopianWise Kit helps decrease scar tissue and break down adhesions, while increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs. The castor oil packs are really important in helping the body decrease and eliminate scar tissue to the fallopian tubes.
If the blockage is caused by infection it will be useful to use herbal tampons because they contain herbs that help the body rid itself from infections.
Fertility Blessings

With this website my job is to educate and support you in learning more about natural therapies that can help boost your fertility and prepare for a healthy pregnancy. Please do not submit medical tests or results. If you have questions on your fertility or medical results talk to your doctor. Those questions will not be answered.

Barton Aide Takes Blame for Tweet
There's been a minor uproar among environmental groups and some Democrats today over a tweet sent from Rep. Joe Barton's account that says, "Joe Barton Was Right."
Barton, a Texan who is the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ended up in hot water after he apologized to BP last week for what he called a "shakedown" by President Barack Obama to get BP to contribute $20 billion to a fund for oil spill victims.
Barton spokesman Sean Brown said he tweeted, not Barton. Brown said that without thinking about it much, he linked a headline from the conservative American Spectator magazine to the congressman's Twitter account. The headline – "Joe Barton Was Right" – tops a column defending Barton's PB apology. Brown said his boss was not aware of the tweet, which has since been deleted.
Barton later apologized for his apology after Republican colleagues threatened to strip him of his leadership post on the committee. But his second apology didn't convince all Republicans. Alabama's Jo Bonner called it "at best … half hearted" and called on Barton to step aside.
All of which raised interest in the meaning of Barton's tweet Wednesday. Within minutes, environmental groups had circulated it widely in emails to reporters. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office also pounced. "Congressman Joe Barton – Not So Sorry After All?" asked an email to reporters from the speaker's aides.

College Hockey:Massachusetts Edges Massachusetts-Lowell
Irwin Scores Game-Winner in Third
LOWELL, Mass. — Matt Irwin fired a slap shot with 1:07 left to give the No. 19 University of Massachusetts a huge victory, as they defeated No. 14 University of Massachusetts-Lowell, 2-1, in front of a crowd of 4,688 at Tsongas Arena.
"Will Ortiz had such a great screen, I couldn't see where it actually ended up, but it hit the crossbar and went down; we will take it when we can get them," said Irwin of his game-winner.
The goal came on a five-on-three power play from two penalties by Lowell players' Riley Wetmore and Ben Holmstrom.
The Minutemen swept a big series this weekend, and move into fourth place overall in Hockey East with a record of 9-6-0.
Lowell thought that they had the first goal of the game on a one-timer from Chris Auger, who fired a shot past Dainton's glove. The goal went under review because River Hawks' forward David Vallorani was standing in the crease when the puck went in. The goal was eventually disallowed.
"Yeah it was one of the those things and it started right from the very beginning," said River Hawks' coach Blaise Macdonald. "It's hard to believe we have that goal called back on the four-on-four. We watched it on video. I don't know; it was a tough call."
About three minutes after the disallowed goal, the Minutemen scored a goal of their own at 5:28 in the first by Marc Concannon.
Concannon received a pass across the crease from teammate Rocco Carzo and ripped a shot upstairs passed a sprawling Carter Hutton (15 saves).
Lowell had a number of chances in the first period, but they were denied by great goaltending from Paul Dainton (28 saves). The save of the period by Dainton came on a River Hawks' power play. Ben Holmstrom received a pass down low and shot to the near side of the net. Dainton came across and took the shot off his chest.
"I saw the puck very well tonight," said Dainton about his performance. "The defense and forwards did a great job playing in the lanes and blocking shots. Most of the shots that I had were direct shots; there were not many tips, not many screens, so a lot of the shots were pretty easy."
One word to describe the second period would be bizarre. It started off with a five-minute major given to River Hawks' defensemen Maury Edwards for high sticking. He hit the Minuteman's leading scorer James Marcou in the head, causing Marcou to fall to the ice. UMass was not able to convert on the five-minute power play.
With about a minute left to the major penalty by Edwards, Minutemen forward Casey Wellman got slapped with a two-minute minor and a 10-minute misconduct for shooting after the whistle.
With 12 minutes left, the River Hawks finally got one by Dainton with a beautiful spin pass from behind the net by Vallorani, out to an open Patrick Cey for a one-timer.
The third period was dominated by Lowell, but they had trouble staying out of the box and gave UMass too many opportunities with the man advantage. They had five penalties in the third, which does not settle well with MacDonald.
"We absolutely, positively killed ourselves by having to kill penalties in the third period."
Massachusetts coach Don 'Toot' Cahoon was happy with the way his team was able to weather any storm Lowell had going.
"I just thought we weathered some storms," said Cahoon "Especially in the second period, with Wellman out for 10 minutes, that was a big point in the game to get through the second period, and make it a 20-minute game. I am pleased with the effort in the third period and how we finished the game."
Lowell now moves to 12-9-2 overall and 6-6-2 in Hockey East. Next weekend doesn't get any easier, with two home games against Merrimack on Friday and Boston College on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Massachusetts will be tested again with two games next weekend against Vermont at the Mullins Center.
Overall, Cahoon is happy where is team is right now.
"It's a great place to be in the middle of January , it's a big step we took, it's a condensed season right now so every game becomes that much more meaningful."

Big money in politics is something that is getting the attention of many Americans and many wonder if it will ever be stopped. Money is thrown around from left to right, but no more than from the right-wing Koch Brothers.
As the 2014 mid term elections inch closer, many experts are predicting that Republicans will win even more seats in the House and possibly win control of the Senate. If Republicans are able to gain total control of Congress, President Obama will be even more handicapped to get legislation through then he is now. With the election around the corner, money is being pushed to buy politicians who will vote in favor of the special interests. A new film by Brave New Films has been released on free on YouTube exposing the tactics of the billionaire Koch brothers, Charles and David.
The film, titled "Koch Brothers Exposed," was originally released in 2012 and has been revised for its 2014 release. Produced and complied by Robert Greenwald, "Koch Brothers Exposed" shows how Charles and David have spent billions of dollars not just in Washington, but also at the local level to continue to push their ideology, political views and agenda. The Kochs have called Greenwald "maliciously false and misleading," and even before the films release, they released a statement stating that the film was a "desperate attempt by an obscure video maker to make money off of the orchestrated partisan political attacks against Koch."
The film alleges that the Koch brothers have pushed to gut the Social Security program by spending nearly $30 million to do so. In addition, the film also points out the Koch's plan to push for the Keystone XL pipeline that would be constructed from Canada and end in Texas where the brothers make much of their fortune. The film also accuses the Koch brothers of re-segregating North Carolina school districts and funding private colleges that would receive funding only if pro-Koch brothers professors were hired.
The film can be viewed on YouTube for free and by going to the official website for Brave New Films.

This is the way I see it (from a dad's perspective). My daughter is the most beautiful person in the world, and if she came home with your tattoo, I would be upset too. It would be like defacing a work of art that I helped create. I imagine that your dad feels the same way, and he doesn't see the defacing comment as an insult. I think you need to understand his side. I guess a long talk is in order, but as you know, guys aren't the best at communicating their feelings. We make jokes to avoid getting emotional, or send generic email replies because we're not sure what else to say. I just wanted to provide you a different view, so you wouldn't beat yourself up over it too much.
And by the way, I absolutely love your tattoo, it is amazing. But you're also not my daughter :)
I think I understand his perspective, but again, it bothers me more that he didn't stand up for me when his [I]friend[/I] said that (and after that, yes, mad that he agreed). It's also frustrating because this is not my first tattoo (though it is significantly larger and more visible than my first), my sister also has tattoos (that are visible), so it's not really out of the blue. My dad is a grade A non-communicator in all aspects of life, so this was probably an opportunity for him to vent a little and he did not really handle it appropriately. The only part of this that I beat myself up for is trusting that he would have my back no matter what, but being reminded once again that he doesn't. This isn't the first time I have felt like my family wasn't there for me, but I cannot think of specifics when that might have happened before.
Anyway, don't want to talk about that anymore. Now I am frustrated because I feel like I am not communicating my feelings effectively. I'm going to talk to my therapist about it again on Friday and figure out what I'm going to do. Why is it so much harder to open up to family than it is to friends or even strangers on the internet?
My awesome steak last night (see above) tasted like "taco meat" according to Boyfriend. I was pretty proud at how it came out, in terms of cooking, though the marinade definitely needs work. I think I used too much balsamic vinegar and not enough salt and pepper. I might try making it again on Thursday, since that's my next night for making dinner and I have two more bags of steak in the freezer.
I ate something yesterday that did not agree with my stomach, but fortunately didn't vomit. I think it may have been the coconut milk kefir I got, as it made my stomach a bit rumbly this morning too. Then again, I didn't eat anything else this morning. Who knows, I'm not in the mood to figure it out. Or anything else.
Did not sleep well again last night. Probably fell asleep around 1 AM, wrote the blog post because I couldn't fall asleep. My head wasn't keeping me up this time, I was just physically uncomfortable.
Oh just realized why I'm frustrated now: I feel like my feelings are being invalidated (and THAT is the kind of lack of support I get from my family). It's kind of a "yeah but" sense I'm getting. I worry about coming across as a typical frustrated young adult (I suppose at 23, I still fit into the YA category?) online and this discussion has made me feel a bit like "everyone is against me", which is a very stereotypical young rebel kind of sentiment. I don't want to be treated like a dunce because I am younger and have less life experience. Being open about my feelings should not make me seem like a weakling, but that is an issue with society as a whole, not just for me in particular. Maybe I take too much to heart, but understanding how I feel about how others act towards me will help me act towards others in a way that feels most comfortable and appropriate.
Well I didn't mean to offend you or minimize your feelings at all, so if that's how you took it, I apologize. I've enjoyed reading your journal for a while, and I was just trying to help.
No need to apologize, I appreciate all input. It is possible I am just an extra sensitive flower today due to two nights in a row of poor sleep (~3 hrs two nights ago, 5-6 last night). Regardless, I am allowing myself the time and space to analyze my feelings to see if there is something that can be learned from the analysis. With my new therapist's help, I feel like I am much better equipped to determine what I need from relationships and for myself (to grow and improve, to be healthy). I find it interesting and it helps me to separate myself a little from the negative thoughts.
Hmm...maybe a little coffee today. My building has had the AC on since March and I'm very cold :(
I just want to say that I think your feelings are justified even if I don't entirely understand why you're this upset about it from a personal standpoint. My parents didn't say much when I got my tattoos and now it doesn't seem to bother them at all when I get a new one. I can see your dad's point of view based on the perspective the PP drew out.
it is a large tattoo, but it has meaning, legitimate meaning, so it's not tasteless or tacky. I wonder if, in part, your dad is upset that you spent money on a tattoo when you're worried about how you'll make the rent in July?? I know you mentioned that the tattoo was already in the works when the money problems arose, but maybe he doesn't recall that? I don't know. Just trying some different angles.
I hope your day gets better. :)
I don't think my parents are very aware of my financial situation. I have not talked to them about it, mostly since there is nothing that they can do. I don't think they're struggling, but they certainly can't spare any money to help us out. I have felt some guilt about spending money on the tattoo when things are so tight, but yeah, it was already in the works when things got really bad (we knew Boyfriend would need to get a job, but hadn't really imagined what it would be like). It was also an emotional investment, in part, for me, and maybe that is part of the reason why I feel upset over someone so negative about it. It's not just "this thing that I did", but a part of me that I am putting on display with the rest of the world. I don't really blame my dad's friend for that, he has obviously not thought about the meaning behind tattoos very much.
These are all things that I think might be helpful in explaining to my dad why I was so upset. Thanks for helping me think it out, everyone. I realize that I do not have to explain myself to random folks on the internet (however helpful they may be) despite my inclination to do so. [B]What's most important is that I understand why I am feeling the way I am feeling and can use that to strengthen my relationship with my dad.[/B] I just [I]really[/I] don't want to cry when I talk to him! I think I need to take some time to make a list about my feelings with the situation and figure out what is most important for me to convey to him.
Sometimes I get really wrapped up in dreams and coming back to reality is harsh. I had some really wonderful ideas for continuing my tattoo into a sleeve, but I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT invest in something so expensive again this year. What money I can save must be saved until I am sure the money is unneeded, then I can put it into loans, or saved for longer until we have a decent surplus. It may be some time until things are stable enough that I can even consider covering my first tattoo, which would be a much cheaper option. These are all good things, though, because it means I will spend more time considering the concept and design to make sure I am 100% in love with it. I once told myself I should spend at least 3 years considering a tattoo design before I get one and that's worked out well at least once ;)
Today's dream-shattering moment brought to you by a concert that Boyfriend and I really want to go to at the end of the month. On the one hand, $20/ea isn't awful, we can take public transit to and from the concert, and we know we'll have a great time. On the other hand, that's $40 that would otherwise be saved. I'll talk to Boyfriend about it. It might be really good for his depression to go to this concert (he loves this band)... He is going in for a second interview with Home Depot today. He said if they say it's for the sales associate position, he'll thank them and tell them to fuck off. I reminded him that he really needs a job and he can always keep looking and quit this one later on. He begrudgingly agreed so I REALLY hope he takes this.
Marriage is on my mind lately. The date that Boyfriend told me to remember (June 22nd) is coming up and I don't know if he's going to propose. I'm fairly certain he has not had the funds for a ring unless he omitted that from our financial discussions (and it's already been purchased). Frankly, I don't care if I have a ring or not (I have my mom's engagement ring if I wanted to wear one), I just want Boyfriend to become Fiancé (which I knew how to make that symbol other than copying and pasting from another site). Oh crap, that means I have less than 3 weeks till my birthday and I need to take progress photos. Guess I should bust out the kettlebell again today =P
AND CUT THE FUCKING SUGAR. I had more chocolate than I should have last night, but it was 85% dark with chili and it was REALLY tasty.

Added an About Me and Links of Interest page (top of the blog). Now I really want to make a custom header and possibly template. Wonder if I could get a talented friend to design a template for me, I'm not good with that kind of graphic design.
And I definitely need a better blog title.

Meet Anonymous
After Sarah Palin's email was hacked, the world was introduced to Anonymous.
Who or what is Anonymous?
It's a group that formed on IR channels – and starting to get recognition for it's practice of "Griefing" or terrorizing web communities and games. Primarily younger males, the idea is to show off with Internet exploits.
The group has been around for a while and my son was a victim about five years ago – they hacked into his account on an online game. He had spent a year building up the character and was among the top in the game. In a matter of minutes it was gone. This was the only time I have ever seen him curl up and cry.
We laugh about it now, but it was traumatic at the time for him… hence the term "griefing".
Here's Anonymous' 'greatest' hits from Wired magazine:
The Epilepsy Attack — In March, a group of internet griefers flooded an epilepsy message board with flashing images that caused migraine headaches and seizures in some users. While it's not certain whether it was properly the work of Anonymous, the assault was rumored to have started on a thread at 7chan.org — another Anonymous hang out — and much was blamed on eBaumsworld, an online site often derided by Anonymous. The FBI is reportedly investigating what may be the first computer attack that physically harmed people.
The Scientology War — In January, Anonymous decided to take on a real target — the Church of Scientology — which its members considered to be an overly litigious cult. Soon, anonymous pranksters were ordering pizzas to Scientology offices, using denial-of-service attacks to scuttle its web servers and posting previously unseen secret Scientology documents.
They also briefly pointed denial-of-service attack tools at the wrong IP address — which happened to be a Dutch school. The publicity drew hordes who wanted to participate, and soon many longtime Anonymous users found themselves annoyed with the new converts who thought Anonymous was a crusading organization.
The Habbo Hotel Raid – Anonymous has staged many minor incursions into other people's online playgrounds, but one of the most storied involved a virtual world known as Habbo — a frequent target for bored Anonymous lurkers interested in ruining other people's fun.
In 2006, hundreds of Anonymous users showed up using identically dressed avatars: a black man with an Afro in a grey suit. They blocked off the pool to other users, claiming it was infected with AIDS. They also formed swastika-like formations and flooded the site with stupid internet sayings. When users were banned, they claimed it was racist.
The Mitchell Henderson Harassment — The suicide of Mitchell Henderson, a seventh grader, stirred Anonymous, who gleefully decided that Henderson shot himself because he had lost his iPod, a fact he'd noted on his MySpace page. Anonymous grabbed onto a badly written message on an online memorial page for him, and turned the phrase "an hero" into an internet meme. For more than a year, Anonymous kept up the fun, calling Henderson's parents, pretending to be his ghost.
The Hal Turner Campaign – In late 2006 and early 2007, Anonymous had much fun with Hal Turner, a small-time white supremacist who ran an online radio show. Anonymous flooded one of his shows with prank calls, which then escalated in mutual internet stupidity. Anonymous eventually flooded his site with too much traffic for his web host to handle.
Turner tried suing the image boards — unsuccessfully — and finally he closed down his show after a hacker managed to unearth correspondence suggesting Turner was an FBI informant.
Watch your back.

Reports came out that Denzel Washington was going through detox, but now his publicist is speaking out about this and says that it is not true. On Saturday, ET Online shared what his publicist had to say about it all. The original reports came out that he had to spend July detoxing. Denzel is a great actor who has done a lot of amazing movies.
Denzel's publicist spoke out about it all. He said, "He does this health cleanse every time he's about to go back to work and start his conditioning and nutritional program. Always cleans up after the family vacation in prep for work. Nothing new." It sounds like this is not a big deal at all and there is nothing to worry about, but fans were still wondering what was going on with him.
TMZ originally shared that he had been staying at a New York residence for two weeks where he was actually detoxing. Reports are that he took month off before this and was out on a yacht partying hard. He was with his wife on the trip and having a great time, but maybe it was too good of a time.
This detox was to detox his body from everything. He didn't want alcohol in his system, but it was a lot more than just the alcohol. Denzel Washington is back to work and will be promoting his newest movie. The movie "The Equalizer" will be coming out on September 26. He will be playing Robert McCall, a former black ops commando. His character faked his death. Now that he has his body feeling better he is ready to get to work and be busy for a while. He will be on a worldwide tour that is going to keep him pretty busy.

How To Dodge Religious Solicitors
The Door,
a Christian magazine,
excerpted in
Utne Reader
Return to
Editorials Index
Home to
Positive Atheism
1. Listen for a minute or two with a polite but puzzled expression and then speak in a foreign language. Better yet, make one up. Brand names for electronic components serve as an excellent base for an impromptu language. I've found the following bit to be an excellent opener: "Fritzen mitsuba micht sony leam spartinza. Nakamichi shpont olufsen takamine. Cheloken eraza fleecht?"
2. Before you open the door, put on a pair of Groucho glasses and pour some Pine Sol in a coffee cup. Then atttempt to engage them in a serious debate, spreading Pine Sol fumes by blowing occasionally into the cup as if you are cooling it. See how long you can hold them. Try to remember not to drink out of the cup.
3. Pretend to be deaf. Point to your ears, shake your head, and make intricate movements with your fingers and hands. This can backfire if they happen to know sign language. In that case switch to being blind.
4. Interrupt every sentence with a long, rambling, and totally pointless story. Try to work in your latest medical difficulty, especially if it involved surgery or hemorrhoids.

You can bet Boston fans aren't singing "love that chicken from Popeye's." But the Boston Red Sox pitchers have been humming a different tune.
Jon Lester admitted that the Red Sox pitchers fell into a habit of eating fried chicken from Popeye's and drank "rally" beers during games they were not starting last season, when the team experienced an inexplicable September collapse out of the MLB playoffs.
"There's a perception out there that we were up there getting hammered and that wasn't the case," Lester told the Boston Globe. "Was it a bad habit? Yes. I should have been on the bench more than I was. But we just played bad baseball as a team in September. We stunk. To be honest, we were doing the same things all season when we had the best record in baseball."
Now there's a comforting admission for Red Sox fans. They always drink beer and eat fried chicken.
Lester and his teammates clearly have great taste in food pairings, who doesn't love fried chicken and beer after all? But the timing is bothersome and is far more unprofessional behavior than the headline grabbing handshake between San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz.
Drinking alcoholic beverages during a game (whether you're playing or not) is more than unprofessional. It suggests an apathetic attitude during an intense environment of competition.
No one can condone the behavior of the Jims Sunday, but you can at least understand where their passion and emotion is coming from.
How can Red Sox teammates be inspired when their looking at their comrades drinking a Bud Light?

College Hockey:Broncos Top Lakers, 4-1, for First Road Win
Three-goal First Period Sets Pace
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. — After a 4-1 loss to Lake Superior State University Friday night, the Western Michigan Broncos rebounded for a 4-1 win of their own Saturday night at the Taffy Abel Arena.
The Broncos were winless on the road heading into Saturday's contest against the Lakers, but took a 3-0 lead in the first period and didn't back down.
WMU outshot LSSU 15-3 in the first period and scored two goals within the first three-and-a-half minutes.
"We did not have the emotional pitch that was necessary to let Western know we were out there to shock them. We went down 2-0 and made mistakes that, last night, we did not make in our own zone," said Lake Superior State coach Frank Anzalone.
Mike Jarmuth put the Broncos on the board when he netted a pass from Jeff Campbell at 1:05. Mike Bishai scored just over two minutes later to give Western the 2-0 lead.
The Lakers pulled freshman goaltender Terry Denike after the first two goals and Matt Violin took over.
Then, with less than two minutes to play in the first, Shaun Rose scored a power-play goal to put the Broncos ahead by three.
Violin made 11 saves in the first, but Denike returned to his duties at the start of the second and finished the game with 25 saves.
Freshman Bo Cheesman scored for Lake Superior State just under two minutes into the second, while junior Aaron Davis added an assist on Cheesman's first career goal.
LSSU was still down by a pair of goals with two minutes remaining in the game and decided to pull Denike in favor of the extra-attacker.
Bishai put an end to any chance the Lakers had of tying the game when he skated the puck out of his own end and up ice for an empty-net goal, his second tally of the game.
Final shots were 40-23 in favor of the Broncos, though shots were an even 13 in the third period.
Western Michigan improved to 10-5-3 overall and 5-5-2 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The loss put the Lakers at 3-11-0 in the CCHA.

The serial adventurer and celebrity tweets: "Dear Mr Mugger. You picked on the wrong man. Enjoy the black eye. Love Ben."
00:15, UK, Thursday 08 May 2014
Television presenter Ben Fogle has revealed he fought off a mugger who tried to snatch his briefcase by giving him a black eye.
The serial adventurer wrote on Twitter: "Dear Mr Mugger. You picked on the wrong man. Enjoy the black eye. Love Ben."
The 40-year-old, who presents Storm City on SKY1 HD, received scores of messages of concern from his 105,000 followers on the site.
Fogle thanked fans for their tweets, and used the attention to raise awareness of the abduction of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls by Islamist group Boko Haram.
He tweeted: "Thanks for concerned messages. I'm fine. Suit scuffed and knuckles bruised. WAY more importantly #BringBackOurGirls #NigerianSchoolgirls."
Fogle's expeditions include rowing across the Atlantic and racing to the South Pole with Olympic rowing gold medallist James Cracknell.

The two female hard core rappers Keza Stamina aka Fearless and Young Grace are in a battle of words over who is the country's hip hop queen in the country.
According to Tukabyine.com in mid-July when rapper Young Grace declared herself as queen of hip hop music in the country, she made the statement during a radio talk show.
She also mentioned that she is the queen of hip hop music and no other female artist can be compared to her giving an example of fellow rapper Fearless that she is better as a video vixen than a rapper.
This did not go well with other established rappers like Paccy and Fearless who also shot back at Young Grace live on KT Radio last Friday in a show dubbed The spotlight.
Rapper Fearless furiously responded "Being a queen of hip hop comes from actions not words, so Young Grace is just building castles in the air and she can never develop musically with such a shallow mind,"
Fearless started with music in 2012 and found rapper Young Grace already an established music star with some awards under her belt.
Plans to talk to young Grace were futile as she couldn't answer the phone. Young Grace is more experienced musically than Fearless and she has participated in numerous music competitions like Guma Guma and others.
Commentators say lack of cooperation among female artists is one of the challenges hindering development of female musicians in the country especially those doing hip hop.

My Fair Ladies: Sex, Gender, and Fair Use in Copyright
Rebecca Tushnet
Georgetown University Law Center
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law, Vol. 15, No. 2, p. 273, 2007
Both parodies and legal opinions reflect the culture from which they come, and our culture has many anxieties about sexuality and about women's bodies. This article explores the ways in which these anxieties play out in fair use cases. By favoring sexualization over other types of critique, fair use doctrine systematically treats sex as especially oppositional and liberating, when in fact it has no monopoly on critique and no necessarily disruptive effect on a copyright owner's message. Still, adding overt sexuality to a work could challenge our ideas about the original, as well as proper sex and gender roles. Thus, this article does not argue against sexuality or transformativeness, but rather against facile acceptance of an equation between the two, and particularly against the idea that other kinds of transformation deserve less fair use protection and are more likely to fall within a copyright owner's legitimate market. Gender and sexuality play varied roles in signaling criticism, defining markets, and establishing a work's place in cultural hierarchies. Fair use doctrine should pay attention to these things, not sexuality itself.

C# and Java are starting to show their age. Here is one example at the most fundamental level of these two languages.
Both C# and Java inherit a lot of their syntactic and semantic structure from C. However, they enforce a very different programming paradigm than that in which C is normally written. This forces C# and Java to be asymmetric and flawed in a way which causes constant trouble, considerable performance issues (especially for Java) but which is not seen by most developers due to them not having realised that alternatives exist.
Let us first consider C. One of the key linguistic components of C is the function. The C standard library is all based on functions and any non trivial C program is full of them. A C function is based conceptually on a mathematical function and consists of three parts:
This is perfect for functions which are quite mathematical in nature. However, software engineering involves a lot of data manipulation as well at algorithm development. This generates a requirement for function like entities which pass out more than one data item. A classical function only has a single return item. In essence, function entities in programs often need to have polyadic returns where as C functions have a unary return.
The most common paradigm for managing polyadic returning functions in C is to pass parameters in by reference. Thus, the parameter list contains part of the return as well as the input. This works rather well in C because, for these non mathematical style functions, the return value its self is used as an exception handling mechanism. Indeed, in early versions of C, the return was often defaulted to an integer type and could be omitted from the declaration. In other words, the notion is that the main communication with the function is through the arguments. The return from the function is zero for all non exceptional circumstances and non zero in the exception case. C support arguments by reference via a very light weight syntax and so this approach works well though it is a little clunky.
Both Java and C# have a build in exception handling system. They do not require the return from a function to return this meta information. So, why do they have return values at all? Whilst return values are handy they are not required. Consider the following Java:
class A { public MyClass myObject; } class B { public void myObjectFactory(A ret) { ret.myObject=new MyClass(); } }
With this we can pass MyClass objects out of a method without using a return. Using the 'ref' modifier in C# makes this even easier in that language (we do not require the A class). However, the use of return values rather than communicating only through the arguments feels more comfortable and avoids creating container objects in Java. Nevertheless, by retaining the C like single return value, C# and Java are left being asymmetric. The paradigm is to pass stuff in through the arguments and out via the return. However, there are many arguments (polyadic) but only one return (unary).
A much cleaner syntactic solution would be to make functions polyadic in both arguments and return. An example could be:
(int,int) quotentAndRemainder(int num, int den) { return (num/den,num%dem); } // which could be called like this int q,r; (q,r)=quotentAndRemainder(23,5); // here q=4 and r=3
Such an approach allows a cleaner implementation of the concept of references and arguments. One does not need to pass in references just to allow 'out parameters'. References would only be needed in multi-threaded applications where the state of a variable inside a function needs to be known during the execution of that function. As that programming model could be considered to be bad practice anyway, polyadic returns could eliminate the need for references in all but the most obscure situations.
The syntactic structure of C# and Java would not permit this simple implementation of polyadic returns; however, I hope it is clear how useful they would be. The more interesting (to me) point is that this issue in the languages shows how they are not the final evolution but just another stepping stone in the long path leading to a fully useful language. Indeed, their strict unary return structure and terse syntax locks them out of being evolved to accommodate better semantics in the future.

Ford Artists stylist Yahaira Familia sends us her notes from the New York Fashion Week trenches. Here, she catches up with designer pals Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra.
Costello Tagliapietra was the first fashion show I attended in my early days of styling, and I knew it wouldn't be the last. A mysterious and classical quality always makes its mark in Jeffrey and Robert's collections, and this is why I remain such a loyal fan.
For Fall 2012, Ford's Daiane Conterato–with her archetypal yet distinct and enigmatic opening look–was the perfect opener for the season. When I caught up with the designers backstage, I asked them who is their ultimate It-girl. "Charlize Theron," they both said without hesitation. "Her intriguing personality embodies what we look for in the models we cast." True to their word, I definitely saw a bit of Charlize in the spectacular drape neck gown right before the finale. -Yahaira Familia

It's been a soggy week across Central Indiana. More rain is coming our way… but there's sunshine and dry days in the 7 day forecast!
Highs today topped out in the 70s across Central Indiana. The normal high this time of year is 85. One year ago today we hit 105! Here's the high temps as of 5pm today:
Showers were patchy in nature, here's the rain totals from the last 24 hours.
Spotty showers will come to an end tonight, as temps fall into the 60s. Showers will become VERY isolated after the sun sets. Patchy fog will develop by Sunday morning.
Foggy conditions are likely Sunday morning, with more scattered showers and storms developing for the afternoon and evening. Like previous days, not everyone will see rain, so check the radar before you head out for any outdoor plans.
There is relief from the rain in the 7 day, however Tuesday and Wednesday look pretty soggy before partly cloudy skies, and cooler and drier air arrives Thursday.

Say I have a program that needs to not divide by zero:
if nonzero(x):
return sin(x)/x
return 1
If we divide by zero, we get an error. We can prove that the above function does not error by noting that the first if branch is not taken when x==0, so the possible error from the division can't happen, and we always get a sensible result.
So the question is what does this proof look like in type theory?
I know it must involve dependent types and such, and I've read a few relevant Wikipedia pages, but I don't know how to type nonzero() or division or how to show in type theory that the error can't happen.
(This isn't supposed to have anything to do with zero in particular, I'm wondering in general how type theory handles proving things around such predicates and dependently-typed functions)
