Purpose: To review the literature on the long-term health effects of exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) among women prescribed DES during pregnancy (DES mothers), among their children exposed in utero to the drug (DES sons and daughters) and among the progeny of these exposed sons and daughters (DES grandchildren).
Data Sources: English-language articles were identified through MEDLINE and CANCERLIT searches and through review of the bibliographies of identified articles.
Study Selection: All human studies relevant to long-term health effects of exposure to DES were reviewed.
Data Extraction: Descriptive data on existing DES cohorts were extracted from early publications. Risk estimates for health effects were extracted from published reports.
Data Synthesis: An estimated 5 to 10 million Americans received DES during pregnancy or were exposed to the drug in utero. Exposure to DES has been associated with an increased risk for breast cancer in DES mothers (relative risk, <2.0) and with a lifetime risk of clear-cell cervicovaginal cancer in DES daughters of 1/1000 to 1/10 000. The association between DES exposure and testicular cancer in DES sons remains controversial. Exposure to DES has also been linked to reproductive tract abnormalities in DES sons and daughters that consist of immune system disorders and psychosexual effects. No evidence for transgenerational effects currently exists. Recommendations for screening persons exposed to DES are reviewed.
Conclusions: Further research is needed to define long-term health effects related to DES exposure. Such research would provide a basis for counseling persons exposed to DES and would further understanding of environmental and pharmacologic compounds similar to DES.
A relative risk greater than 1.0 indicates that DES increases the risk for breast cancer. The reference number for individual studies is given in parentheses.

Secrets of Success
Not a good weekend for exercise...
Sunday, April 11, 2010
This weekend did not go as planned. DH and I had wanted to spend time together for one, and that never happened. Our daughter got sick and ended up in the emergency room Friday night, which left us watching the grandkids...again. She has cysts on her ovaries and it seems that one of them is giving her extreme pain. Her doctor may think about taking the ovary since she has been having trouble with these cysts for a long time. She's 23 years old and already knows she's not going to be able to have any more children.
We did make it to the gym Saturday but I just didn't do weights as I should have. I keep telling myself that I need to do the weight training to try to tone up my body, but all I want to do, once I get to the gym is spend an hour on the elliptical. By the time I get off that, I just don't have the energy to do any other exercises.
Today we didn't make it to the gym because we got stuck watching the grandkids again, for most of the day. That hadn't been planned. We were supposed to have been able to go out on our motocycle and enjoy the day. It didn't happen. Now tomorrow it's back to work and we'll have to wait another week to be able to do what we would like to do.
Saturday, I had an appointment with a friend who fits people for the proper size bra. I've gone from a size 40FFF to a size 36DD!
That was probably the most exciting part of the weekend!
It's still hard for me to believe that I've lost the weight that I have! After having been so heavy for so long, I'm still looking at myself as a fat person, even though I'm wearing size 10 jeans! It's so hard to think that I used to wear size 26W!
I'm not taking any chances with this weight loss either. I've gotten rid of all of my fat clothes and am getting more skinny clothes as I can afford them. I've reached my goal weight...well close enough anyway, and I wouldn't be unhappy if I lost another 5 to 10 pounds. I'm not looking to do that, but if it happens it happens.
I hope that I can be an inspiration to others that drop by my page, even though I don't update it as often as I could. Just don't have much time in the day to spend online. I'm hoping dh will take new photos of me soon so that I can update.
Here's hoping the week will be a better week. I'm hoping that our daughter doesn't have to have this surgery, or any surgery for that matter to get rid of these cysts. That's the biggest worry right now. I'm going to work on staying positive every day, starting right away in the morning, thanking God for another day of life!

Tied 17-apiece at the break in front of 61,005 fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Rebels exploded for 24 unanswered points in the final two quarters as they won for the first time in this series since 2008.
The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 8-4 overall and 4-4 in SEC play, while Ole Miss improved to 6-6, 3-5.
Defensively, MSU had few answers for the Rebels' fast-paced offense. Behind the play of quarterback Bo Wallace, running back Jeff Scott and wideout Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss manufactured 527 yards of offense.
Wallace accounted for 294 yards through the air on 15-of-22 passing, while Scott totaled 111 yards on 28 carries. Moncrief, though, proved to be the key as he hauled in seven passes for 173 yards and three scores.
But it was Jamal Mosley who gave the Rebels the quick 7-0 lead after he hauled in a 25-yard strike from Wallace on their first possession.
However, the celebration was short-lived as the Bulldogs responded on the ensuing kickoff when Jameon Lewis went untouched for 100 yards to the end zone.
State then took its first lead at 14-7 with 2:46 left in the first quarter when Tyler Russell avoided heavy pressure to find a wide open Chad Bumphis.
After Ole Miss closed the gap to 14-10 on a 43-yard field goal, it regained the lead at 17-14 when Wallace hooked up with Moncrief for a 77-yard scoring strike.
But with 3:21 left until the break, Deven Bell evened the score with his 23-yard field goal.
After forcing the Bulldogs to punt on their opening possession of the third quarter, the Rebels responded with a 41-yard field goal by Bryson Rose for a 20-17 advantage, one they never relinquished.
MSU would score late when Chad Bumphis hauled in an 8-yard pass from Dak Prescott.
The Bulldogs finished with 333 total yards, with Russell completing 18 of his 33 passes for 268 yards. Bumphis was his favorite target, as the Tupelo, Miss., native had six receptions for 146 yards.

Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...

From our July 1 issue: Three-Dimensional...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Maybe there's something to all that talk in recent weeks about the economy finally recovering, and then again, maybe not. Nearly half the respondents to a recent GEN poll (46.2%) said they did not expect to see jobs eliminated from their company or institution this year. However, more than half of respondents disagreed with that upbeat assessment, with more than one-third (34.6%) saying they did expect jobs to be eliminated in their workplaces in 2012, while the remaining 19.2% were not sure.
While overall unemployment numbers released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have trended positively in recent months, there is still much uncertainty about current and future employment opportunities across a wide variety of fields including the life sciences. According to Challenger Gray & Christmas, the pharma industry cut 4,336 jobs in the first two months of 2012, 8th highest of 28 industry sectors studied and double the 2,425 jobs eliminated in January and February 2011, as several pharma giants moved to cut R&D and marketing costs to get over the patent cliff. Last month, 265 jobs were reported as being eliminated, down from 335 in February 2011.

this wiki
Stannis/Selyse and the Florents Edit
The scene from "The Lion and the Rose" needs to be included. TheUnknown285 (talk) 13:59, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Well, in that scenes the sacrifice is carried out by Melisandre, Stannis and Selyse just give the approval.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 03:40, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
Yeah so in European society kinslaying is specifically the act of murdering someone related to you by blood. It should probably not mention all of these supposed "kinslayers" that killed their cold relatives.
Rather than using "debatable" about whether Rickard Karstark is right to accuse Robb Stark of kinslaying, why not use George R.R. Martin's quote about it. Ardilaun (talk) 16:55, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Also was there a particular reason behind this article having a high protection level? Ardilaun (talk) 20:20, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
I hadn't seen that SSM and will link to it in the "in the books" section.
...yeah, this article needs heavy protection because it, you know...lists when major characters DIE. People would try to spoil in Season 4 that Tywin dies through Kinslaying.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 21:12, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
I would assume this wiki contains show spoilers everywhere, and so should every reader. Especially a title that preludes to killing should be skipped if you hadn't caught up. TV Tropes, for example, tries to hide as many spoilers as possible but allows all spoilers to be read without filtering if the page or category is about deaths. This is spoiler-heavy at its core. KarstenO (talk) 22:57, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
The first quote is hardly related to the article, plus it spoils a major death in the series. So it might be a good idea to change it, or at least put a spoiler tag on it.
Killing of a pregnant woman = Kinslaying?Edit
In the TV show was mentioned, that Ramsay Bolton killed his bedwarmer Violet after she became pregnant, is this also kinslaying? Murdering the own offspring before birth? --Exodianecross (talk) 19:46, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
- Yes in general principle - but they never confirmed if that was even Ramsay's child - I got the impression that they were the local whores, etc. Also, Hoster Tully wasn't considered a kinslayer in the novels for forcing his daughter Lysa to have an abortion - so I wouldn't comment on it.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:15, November 27, 2015 (UTC)

Ahead of the 2014 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, several F1 drivers participated in a press conference on Wednesday, May 21, in Monte Carlo. According to Formula 1, Nico Rosberg of Mercedes, who won this race in 2013 and is currently running second in the 2014 drivers' championship to teammate Lewis Hamilton, does not plan to change his approach in the all-important qualifying phase in Monte Carlo.
Lewis Hamilton has had four pole positions in five races so far this season -- his teammate Nico Rosberg was asked if he would change his strategy for Monaco as a result. He responded: "No. Of course three of those qualifyings were in the wet; in the dry it's 1-1 and it's supposed to be dry on Saturday so I'm confident I can make it happen so I'm not changing my approach or anything."
Asked about his win in Monaco last year and what it does for a Formula 1 driver and his confidence, Rosberg replied, "For me personally it was a very, very special experience, because it's my home, it's where I've grown up. My whole life has been centered around Monaco. So to win here, yeah it was great. And not only that but also it's the race to win. It's the most challenging race to win and the most prestigious race to win, so really that was awesome."
Followers of F1 this season know team Mercedes is dominating the field in both the drivers' and constructors' championships; however, the battle between the two drivers continues. Rosberg answered a question about the closeness of their competition, "I expect it to continue like that. Of course now he's had the result rhythm in a couple of races but it's been very close. I just need a tiny bit to turn it around. I'll start with trying to do that here in Monaco."
With the passing of three-time World Champion F1 driver Sir Jack Brabham this week, 2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen, who was the only former champion at Wednesday's press conference, was asked his thoughts. He commented: "Obviously I read and I was so sad to hear that he had passed away. Obviously these days are different than the days that they used to race and they could do different categories, different races. It would be very nice if they would be able to do different things at the same time and different races and try different things more. But the problem is everything gets so much more expensive these days and obviously people are more scared that you get hurt that they try to limit everything that you do. It's a shame because I think it would be more fun for everybody and all sports would also benefit from it, and F1. It would be nice to do stuff like they did."
The 2014 Monaco Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, May 25. Below is the TV schedule for viewers who will watch via NBC and its properties. Note that the race itself will be broadcast on NBC (not NBCSN) live Sunday morning.
Thursday, May 22:
8:00 a.m. ET -- Practice 2 -- NBCSN -- LIVE.
Saturday, May 24:
8:00 a.m. ET -- Qualifying -- NBCSN -- LIVE.
Sunday, May 25:
7:00 a.m. ET -- F1 Countdown (pre-race show) -- NBCSN -- LIVE.
*7:30 a.m. ET -- Monaco Grand Prix RACE -- NBC -- LIVE.
Going into the Monaco Grand Prix, according to Formula 1, British driver Lewis Hamilton leads the drivers' championship with 100 points and four wins; his teammate Nico Rosberg is second with 97 points and one win. Mercedes devours the other teams in constructor points with 197 points. The next closest is Red Bull with 84.

A new nationwide Recreational Bait and Tackle Store Economic Survey is being planned by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Announcement of the planned survey is being made in the Federal Register of Monday, March 31.
NOAA is asking for approval from the Office of Management & Budget for the survey.
The agency plans to survey 2,910 stores over three years, 970 a year. It estimates it will take three hours to survey each large chain store and half an hour for each independent outlet.
NOAA wants to learn about the "operational structure" of such stores. It plans to ask operators about their costs and sales and to describe their clientele. The goal is to help NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service fulfill its responsibility under the Magnuson-Stevens Act to quantify the impact of its policies on coastal communities and fishermen.
NOAA intends to use the survey results to estimate the economic impact of bait and tackle stores regionally and nationally.
No stores will be required to participate, however.
The plan modifies a proposal put forth in December. See story below for details.
NOAA is taking public comments about the proposed survey through April. For details see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-03-31/html/2014-07034.htm.

I have 2 web farm configurations, one with 2 member servers and one with 3 member servers. I have health monitoring set up on both farms and the monitoring tool reports all servers as being healthy. However after a while all the servers are marked as being "Unavailable" and "Healthy" in the "Monitoring and Management" screen (in the "Servers" screen they are all listed with "Yes" in the "Ready for Load Balancing" column).
Viewing the event log on both the web farm controller or any of farm servers doesn't reveal anything interesting. there are no warnings or errors in the period where the servers became unavailable. There are a couple of informational events about the worker process getting shut down due to inactivity but I don't hope this is the cause since that would mean that the farms will die during the night when the load is low.
Am I missing something?
EDIT: Btw, I think its very odd that the application pool shuts down on the servers since the health monitoring system is polling an aspx page on each server. Shouldn't that keep them going?
EDIT2: Now I've also experienced this problem with the RTW version of Web Farm Framework 2.

Obama's speech addressed several categories of people and communities except race and ethnicity
What a long, strange year it's been. A year that began with the loud insistence by some that Barack Obama's election confirmed the United States as an essentially colorblind, post-racial nation went on to present a series of spectacular counterpoints to that claim – flaps over Attorney General Eric Holder's "nation of cowards" race speech, Joe Wilson's shouted "you lie!" during the president's health care address, Professor Henry Louis Gates' encounter with a white police officer at his home, the Senate inquiry into Sonia Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment, and more. And yet, while President Obama's State of the Union address sprinkled references to several categories of people and communities about whom he expressed concern, race was altogether absent from his remarks. "Small towns and rural communities" received early mention. So, too, did "those who had already known poverty," "working families," "small business owners," "first-time homebuyers," gays in the military, women (with respect to equal pay laws), and, of course, "middle-class Americans," among others. Race? Ethnicity? Nothing. As a matter of political calculus, the silence was unremarkable and unsurprising, coming as it did from a president reluctant to publicly tread the ground of race except, at times, in the context of his personal biography. However, with respect to on-the-ground realities and the opportunity presented for social transformation, a continued failure to engage race would be devastating. The pain of economic recession has been felt widely, but not equally. President Obama noted that 1 in 10 Americans could not find work. (The fraction would be much larger if we included those so discouraged that they have stopped looking for work and therefore are not included among the "officially" unemployed.) He didn't tell us that joblessness is much worse for African Americans (1 in 6) and for Latinos (1 in 8 ) and has worsened much faster for them than for Americans as a whole. The president referred to declining home values. He did not acknowledge that African Americans, Latinos, immigrants, and women have borne the brunt of the resulting dramatic loss in wealth. He pointed out that in the 21st century "one of the best anti-poverty programs is a world-class education." However, the president neglected to mention that young Latino adults earn bachelor's degrees at one-third the rate of their white peers, and that African Americans earn degrees at only half the rates of whites. Of course, had President Obama provided such facts about the racially disparate impact of our economic crisis, it would have been crucial that he also offer informed insights into the underlying dynamic. He could have referred to overwhelming evidence about the presence and behavioral effects of cognitive biases unknowingly harbored even by many of us who mean better, bias typically directed against people of color. He could have noted that women and people of color receive risky subprime housing loans much more often than similarly qualified white men do. The president could have educated the American people about the many young African Americans and Latinos who live isolated from decent opportunities in neighborhoods that provide access only to underfunded, low-performing schools, unsafe streets, a limited number of unpromising jobs even in "good" times, and inadequate public transportation. He might have explained that such structural, institutional, and attitudinal barriers render those subject to them especially vulnerable to the ravages of crisis, economic and otherwise. The same conditions that foster vulnerability for some often undermine the effectiveness of policy and program interventions ostensibly meant to support us all. The president deserves credit for the role played by his administration's stimulus package in mitigating the recession's harmful effects. Unfortunately, he must also accept some blame for the fact that the recovery so far has helped least those who need help most. For example, only a small fraction of the $39 billion in direct federal contracts awarded in 2009 went to small businesses owned by women, Latinos or African Americans. (State and local governments distributed four in five stimulus dollars, but those dollars are very difficult to track.) Similarly, the Associated Press reported in May 2009 that "altogether, the government is set to spend 50 percent more per person in areas with the lowest unemployment than it will in communities with the highest." Economic recovery can serve all Americans fairly and effectively, or it can create and perpetuate unfairness and inequality based on race, gender, place or other dimensions of identity. Current and future recovery efforts not only must jump-start the economy in the short-term, but also invest in lasting opportunity for all. When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast in 2005, many residents defined a successful rebuilding not in terms of what had existed before, but instead with reference to the much-improved community that could yet be. We have a similar opportunity, this time on a national scale. To invoke a Gulf Coast refrain, we must "build back better," narrowing the equity gap and promoting greater opportunity for all our people. If we are to take full advantage of that opportunity, however, "race" must become a more persistent and forceful element of our policy and programmatic vocabulary.

I have been a member of Postcrossing for over a year now. If you haven't heard of it before, it is an international postcard swap site. I love it and have received loads of wonderful cards and made a few pen pals through it. Last year I had a message asking if I could send some Dr Who 50th Anniversary stamps to a lady in China who was a real fan. I got her a set of stamps and also sent the Official Annual for that year too. I hadn't swapped with her before so wasn't sure if I would hear back from her. I received a parcel in the post this morning that made my day!
Here is what was in my parcel. Unfortunately, there was no note so I'm not sure what the symbols mean.
|I would imagine these are for Health, Wealth and Happiness
|Chinese Knots are a symbol of traditional auspicious decoration.
|This is a "Red Pocket" Children receive money in them during Spring Holiday
|This lovely book has all 12 signs of the Chinese year. The animal is cut from a sheet of paper and mounted on plastic.
|These scenic postcards are wonderful too. I love the oriental styles.
|This is a close up of part of the banners she made for me. On the bottom of the picture is a dragon and on the top is an eagle or maybe a Phoenix.
|This is one of the two banners. I would love to know what all the symbols mean.
One thing I am sad about is the lady who sent them to me didn't leave a name on her notes so I have no way of thanking her. I carelessly deleted her email after posting the stamps to her or I certainly would have written to thank her! I am hoping she may email to see if the parcel arrived so I can thank her then.
Xin Nian Kuai Le!
Happy New Year!

Dear Cliff,
It's been barely six hours since I found your site. Believe me, I am very, very excited!
One thing I have realized is that there are a large number of atheists in this world, and a lot of them are "positive" atheists, and not anarchists as people (the theist world) would like to believe. If you have read the "motive" page on my site, you would have seen that I believe in unification. Your site has a lot of material -- massive, massive archives -- and a lot of traffic. I guess you will be having a lot of people visiting repeatedly (as I will be now). The next step probably will be to document your visitors and offer a membership to an internet community to mobilize atheist opinion. I believe in the dynamism of the human thought function -- the more reflection we undertake, the clearer we see our world.
What do you think of setting up a community of positive atheists? The members initially may be people who could contribute to the community in writings.

document your visitors and offer a membership to an internet community to mobilize atheist opinion
While I am not out to shut down any organizations, I am more into individual, unorganized efforts. I've never been a "Hey, everybody!" type. Not only is this against my nature, but it also goes against my upbringing. So I work as an individual. I am beginning to notice that the effort that I, as an individual, have made appears to be paying off: I can see it in several places on the web, and have even seen it elsewhere. If I can do this, just think of what a large number of individuals can do!
I think the best way to "mobilize atheist opinion" is to give various communication tools (namely, the skills and the information) to a large number of atheists. This is what I think I am doing in our Letters Section as well as in our Big List of Quotations. Thankfully, these are by far the most popular sections of the web site. The other sections are there, and they are important, but they do not have the ability to impart powerful ideas as easily (and some sections, unfortunately, do not do this at all).
A new word has been coined, recently, that means, essentially, "a powerful, self-replicating idea." This word is meme and it sorta rhymes with the word gene, after which its meaning is patterned. Memes have surely been with us since the beginning of language, but we've only recently been seeing them as self-replicating. A good example of a meme to which everyone can relate would be the "hook" line in a popular song: the refrain that you hear so many people whistling; the line of poetry that the kids memorize and then recite while walking down the street. A meme becomes powerful when it imparts to a large number of people a new way of seeing or thinking about this or that situation. This is much of what "Rap" music is about. Many consider the Rappers to be the equivalent of newscasters relating the day's events to the audience, but in a way that gets listened to and then repeated, in a way that mobilizes opinion.
The idea that I've spent much of my energy trying to impart over the past four years or so is the "weak" definition for the word atheism. I'm not sure if I can turn this into a meme, but I do think that if people could see atheism (nontheism) as the simple absence of a god-belief rather than the vitriolic spitefulness against religion (against "God Himself") that many theists think of when they hear the term atheist, we could do wonders toward reducing the stigma and bigotry that we endure as a class, at least here in the West. I cannot speak for the situation in India.
Another idea that I think is important is for atheists to practice their atheism as an ethic of living. Some, such as Gora and Madalyn Murray O'Hair, considered atheism itself to be an ethic. I prefer to leave atheism itself alone and continue to call it what I think it is: the simple absence of a god-belief.
Instead, I offer a revision of an atheistic ethic which comes from India and is strongly rooted in Gandhism. I call this ethic "Positive Atheism," named after a term that Gora also used. However, I'm not sure Gora had much in the way of precision in mind when he used these two terms: I see him advocating as "true" atheism the ethics I advocate as "Positive Atheism," and I've known both he and O'Hair to think of certain individuals as "not real atheists" -- not because they believed in gods but because they were hypocritical in their unbelief! I disagree! To me, someone is "not a real atheist" when she or he expresses faith in one or more gods! Going to church or even having your kid baptized to please the grandparents does not make you a theist.
However, if a significant (though not necessarily large) number of atheists would openly advocate and practice just one ethic, truthfulness, we could do much to reduce the stigma and bigotry. Now, I'm not saying to limit ourselves to truthfulness; rather, I'm suggesting that we begin to openly and consciously practice ethics as part of our atheism. What this means (to me) is that we use our atheism to justify the effort and sacrifice of leading an ethical life. For example, if this is the only life anyone gets to live, then why should we want to unnecessarily make things hard on someone else? In his work, "An Atheist Manifesto," Joseph Lewis said,
With this recognition of the finality of death, no one should willingly withhold acts that would bring benefits, joy or happiness to others.
Finally, I have urged atheists to try to avoid gratuitous and indiscriminate criticism of any and all expressions of religion. What about the older woman downstairs, who is happy in her own little world and never harmed a soul? why would we want to bother her or try to "set her straight," especially in light of what Joseph Lewis said in the previous section?
The older woman example is an extreme that I think nobody would dispute. However, most people are much closer to the "edge" or boundary of where one atheist might say something whereas another might refrain. I am urging a form of leniency in this regard, hanging my hat with those who would refrain if they find themselves in a gray area. In this situation, we might want to see if the theist is becoming intrusive with her or his theism, and use that or something similar as a guide to determine whether or not to speak up. However, we all are probably fully competent to make such decisions, at least as long as we bother to think about them at all, as long as we don't walk into a situation and begin to act reflexively.
Then there's the other extreme, when very few atheists would refrain from speaking out. From that extreme, we move back toward that boundary, where, again, I urge that we err on the side of caution and pick our battles wisely (as they say). I commend Nancy Powell who recently prevailed in her battle against the Portland Public Schools, who had allowed the Boy Scouts of America to recruit first- and second-graders during class time! Here is something that I considered cut-and-dried, but it took over four years to prevail! Go get 'em, Nancy!
I credit President Bush, more than anybody else in recent history, with single-handedly bringing more "passive" atheists out of their closets and into even private activism, not to mention joining or supporting organized efforts. He's not the only factor, but he does exemplify a mood among theists that atheists find quite frightening. While Madalyn Murray O'Hair predicted these times way back in the 1980s, I doubt even she could have predicted the sheer volume of atheists speaking out against, for example, slurs in the press. We are definitely "on a roll," as they say, and whenever someone says something even slightly untoward about atheists or atheism, their editor or producer can expect a whole sack full of mail. As recently as two years ago, even the most openly vicious slams against atheist went virtually unnoticed.
But the most important thing that I see in all this is that a lot of these atheists who have begun to speak out are doing so as private individuals, not as members of groups. They are, at most, setting aside an evening or two, logging on to a few atheist web sites and seeing what's up, and getting their initial suspicions reaffirmed when they see others who feel the same way. Then these private, now formerly "passive" atheists, are closing the browser window and opening up the e-mail program wherein they try their hand at speaking out.
It's so crucial to note that they are acting as private individuals because it proves that private, "passive" atheists can and will stand up when the situation, in their opinion, warrants it. Unlike how some of the more vocal activists seem to think, we don't have to assume that their decision to remain (for the most part) "passive" is a permanent state. We now have proof that "passive" atheists can and will join the fight when things start to get out of hand. What they're doing, however, reflects what I've said about choosing our battles wisely: they're just much more restrained than the activists that I'm accustomed to rubbing shoulders with.

Dear Cliff,
Thanks for you mail of 6th Jan. I have been in deep contemplation these past few days. What you said about forming a community makes sense! I realize that forming a dogmatic organization would give another religious denomination to our already fragmented world. My atheism, too, was born of individual contemplation, and I think I now realize that an atheist society would be ideally individualistic. Well, on the point of forming a community, you have turned me around!
About atheism being contemptuous of religion, that is one reason why your site attracted me -- there is no mudslinging at all!
Thanks a lot for all the interest you have taken in my site. I am going to fix the bugs.
Thanks again.
Warmest regards,

Guest Room and Form of Self-Expression
If they sling mud at me, I'll sling it right back! no question about that! But I don't go about initiating any mudslinging. This is because it does not matter to me whether or not other people are religious. It is not my job (or burden) to straighten anybody out on such matters. Only when they approach me and try to convince me that this or that is something to which I should give my assent do they hear from me at all. I will speak up, however, when I see forms of religious expression that I consider to be intrusive, exploitative, or dangerous (such as the Boy Scouts recruiting during class time; such as newspaper columnists denigrating all atheists in a single swipe).
In fact, most of my time and energy is not spent on the god-question. Even when it looks as if I'm addressing the god-question, look again: as often as not, I'm actually addressing a condescending attitude, human ethics, bigotry, or the separation of religion from government. Any time you see me handling someone's god-claim, look closer and see what else it is that I'm really trying to say! Of course I'll handle the god-question for the theist who wrote to me. I give everybody who writes what I think they deserve, and that is, first and foremost, my full attention. But, since I don't really care what theists think, I am writing for my atheistic audience, giving them something to chew on or laugh at or whatever.
Another thing that each writer gets from me: an original response. I do not "boilerplate" my letters by having prefabricated answers that you cut and paste into the text. Instead, I write a fresh, new answer each time a question is asked, even if I've answered and posted that same question several times before. Each writer is an individual who has taken the time to write to me, and what she or he will get in return (should I feel a response is warranted) is an individualized response.
These are a few of my personality quirks that I have brought into my web site to make it unique and to mark it as mine. I consider my web site as most people consider their living room, where the guests come and hang out for a spell, listen to some tunes, watch TV, play a few rounds of whatever, or, most of all, catch up on the latest talk. Hopefully, as you spend more time with your web site and put more thought into it, you will see how you can make this thing more and more a reflection of who you are -- who you have always been as well as who you want to be, but most of all, that part of yourself that you want to give to others in your self-expression.
For this reason, if yours is a good web site, the last thing you'll want to do is go to another person's web site, grab a whole section of it, and post it as your own. Go ahead and grab an alluring quote or a slick-looking wallpaper tile, but make most of whatever you can by yourself.
That, to me, is the closest I come to what the word community means: we each have our own place, but we all (hopefully) go visit one another's places.
And I hope to be visiting your web sit as I begin to get more free time on my hands. But, I just moved, and am going to be moving again next month. I really don't have time to check out what others have done right now. I will be able to do that again in the near future, though.

And new shounen manga and manhua: Spray King 1 by Mikuni Shin and Dewa Iblis Awan Api II N°1 by Tony Wong
Kokoro ・ Button © Usami Maki/Shogakukan [Serialized in Betsucomi]
Published in Indonesia as Love Button by Gramedia/m&c!
Updated with m&c!'s artwork and synopses (and just a bit of NikBabble™ :D)
Niina is still trial dating Koga-kun, despite sib's vehement objections and her own sneaking (Shoo! Shoo!) suspicion that there's no Happy Even After. Niina's Ganbarimasu! is (sorta) rewarded when Koga-kun promises to take her to the fireworks festival if/when she gets a minimum of 70 on her mid-terms.
Will he finally admit that he likes her, too?
Because of Love Button 3, Lina-chan and @MayzMeow are after me to pick up Usami Maki's Naive Female Lead × Tease shoujo manga again. I sooooo hated on the guy, I even forgot his name. But Lina-chan sez Koga-kun gets his 'just desserts' (plus Usami-sensei introes a megane bishie), while May-chan actually wubs Nina's naiveté, the
cute puppy love and assures me that
things have gotten brighter. Anyone else wanna try persuading me?
This Love Button tank also contains an extra story.

My Life 5 of 5 by Momochi Reiko
"I won't seek revenge by killing Gotouda; instead I will..."
The DVD chronicling Kotori's last moments reveals that Gotouda and Murase are one and the same person. But as the retrial appeal hits a wall, Nobara resolves to take matters into her own hands. She confronts Gotouda, but Yuuwa shows up and...
What vengeance will Nobara ultimately wreak upon her twin's murderer? Sate your curiosity and see how Nobara regains her life in the last My Life.
While Lina-chan ups her rating of the finale to a 7 of 10, she's still not convinced to actually collect the five-volume series. (She rated My Life 3 a 6/10 and suggests it as strictly a Rent.)
New m&c! titles
As noted above, m&c! rolls out Spray King 1 by Mikuni Shin and the continuation to Tony Wong's Dewa Iblis Awan Api—Dewa Iblis Awan Api II—the premiere cover of which is ab-so-lute-ly terrifying! (features the Devil Mask that stars in the

Do you remember a time in the not-too-distant past when every celebrity looked crazier than the next? A typical red carpet had at least a few diamond grills, wild pastel wigs, and maybe an egg vessel or two. Well, we got jaded, fast, and our celebrity entertainers had to switch it up. Now, the most shocking thing someone can do is show up looking, well, normal.
It all started with Nicki Minaj at this year's MTV Movie Awards. In a sleek black gown, gold jewelry, and black (!) hair, she was almost unrecognizable on the red carpet. She then stepped out at the Billboard Awards in a similarly shocking ensemble—a black cutout dress. On anyone else, the dress would have been just a pretty dress. But on Nicki, it was news.
Then we saw Helena Bonham Carter at Cannes. You know, the actress who played Bellatrix Lestrange and dressed like her, too? I am so used to seeing her with piles of frizzy hair plopped on her head, a corset over a long skirt, and a pair of witchy striped tights that I gasped when she arrived at the film festival with a perfectly coiffed faux bob and a simple yet elegant black dress with a plunging sweetheart neckline. That's it—no corset, mismatched shoes, or fingerless gloves in sight.
And, um, did you recognize that very normal-looking woman in the image above? That's Tilda Swinton. Yes, TILDA SWINTON the woman who usually looks like a gorgeous humanoid from the year 3030. Admittedly her transformation into a suburban mom/Helen Hunt mash-up is for the new Judd Apatow film Trainwreck, but it had me gasping yet again (I know—so much gasping). I can't imagine any other celebrity for whom wearing smoky eyes, a layered bob, and a golden tan would look so incredibly jarring. Maybe Hillary Clinton? Nope, not even then.
There's just something strange about seeing a celebrity with a strong signature look try something out of their comfort zone. Do you like your Swinton normalized, your Minaj toned down? Or do you prefer your quirky celebrities to be just that?

Lovely Design But Best For Low PonytailsI loved how I didn't have to worry about wrapping the ponytail holder around my hair too few or too many times. The gold went with lots of stuff and it could be casual or dressy. I discovered they come in different colors so I will probably buy more colors in the future. The only downside I found was the fact that I couldn't get my ponytail very high because it took both hands to tighten the ponytail holder. The ponytail would always slip lower as I tried to tighten it. Besides that it is a very good product that I will continue to use.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone return for their second outing as Marvel's web slinging superhero and best gal Gwen Stacy in the hot mess "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Three writers are credited with the screenplay and four with the screen story with the end result being an overly long and disjointed series of moments. There are too many characters, too many subplots, and an overall uncertain tone that ranges from light comedy to tortured romance to social commentary.
An encapsulated look at the scenes with Peter Parker's parents (Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz) from the previous film gives way to a lengthy scene with them fighting for their lives onboard an airplane. Dr. Parker desperately attempts a computer download which proves inconsequential when it's later discovered by Peter. Then we have Peter dealing with the exhausting demands of being Spider-Man while facing high school graduation. He's also haunted by visions of Gwen's deceased dad and a drawn out must-be-with-you but can't-be-with-you relationship with Gwen.
A chance lifesaving encounter with an overlooked and downtrodden Oscorp employee named Max (Jamie Foxx) then makes a quantum leap to creating a super villain with a Mark David Chapman-like obsession to destroy Spider-Man. As if that's not more than enough, we further get a terminal illness also turning Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) against Spidey, a nefarious Oscorp employee (Colm Feore) with a secret sanatorium and Paul Giamatti thrown in as a bald Russian baddie. It all leads to a pointless and anti-climactic battle very late in the film.
The equally scattershot musical score of techno-pop instrumentals, pop music vocals, and standard movie music glaringly stands out rather than underscores and hampers rather than assists the action. And then there is the stinger that comes shortly into the end credits. It's a shameless plug for the upcoming X-Men movie that has nothing to do with this film.
The sequel's only positive aspect lies in the performances. Garfield's angst-ridden kid turned citizen savior is complex and nuanced without ever being self-pitying. And he has earnest though tragic warmth and charm in his scenes with the adorable and energetic Stone. The remainder of the large cast all do great work with the material they're given. The movie's simply not worthy of their efforts.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Carson Palmer is off to a good start in Sunday's Raiders v Dolphins 2012 game. Palmer just tied up the game in the first quarter after an early rushing touchdown by Ryan Tannehill.
Raiders v Dolphins 2012 (live score below) remains tied in the first quarter currently. Tannehill impressed news with a two yard rushing touchdown nine minutes into the first quarter. But then, with twenty-three seconds left in the first, Palmer delivered a blistering sixty-four yard touchdown pass to Mike Goodson.
The Raiders today are trying to rebound after their losing opener in Oakland. Palmer delivered two hundred ninety-seven yards in that game but could only deliver one touchdown pass. The trouble for Oakland was its rushing game. On twenty rushing attempts, the team only moved the ball forty-five yards.
The Raiders, moreover, only were able to produce two field goals in the first half of its opener. In the second half, Palmer delivered a two yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater.
The Dolphins in turn shocked news last week, only delivering a single touchdown and one field goal in their opener. The only touchdown for Miami came in the third quarter with a seventy-two yard punt return by Marcus Thigpen.The Dolphins also struggled on rushing, news analysts noted. The team delivered only seventy-nine yards in nineteen attempts. For live score updates, click HERE.

This weekend, the highly-anticipated Biblical epic "Noah" was released. Like most films that tackle religious themes, this film generated controversy as soon as its production was green-lighted. In the weeks leading up to the release, this scrutiny intensified.
"Noah" stars Russell Crowe as a human who seems to be receiving messages from afar. He lives with his devoted wife and sons, and he has a dream that God, or the "Creator," will destroy the world with a flood. The Creator feels that mankind has become wicked, and the current human population is beyond salvage. He gives Noah the task of restarting the world. He is to build a giant ark to survive a flood so momentous that all living things on earth not on it will perish. In the ark, there is to be two of every animal. Tubal-Cain (played by Ray Winstone), who killed Noah's father, and his men try to prevent Noah from completing his mission.
"Noah" is directed by Darren Aronofsky. His film is a much darker version of the story than the one most people learn as children in Sunday School. It is similar to "The Lord of the Rings" films. Like those movies, "Noah" has elaborate and awe-inspiring action scenes. An example is the flood, which occurs just after an impressive battle sequence.
Russell Crowe is perfect in the lead role. He shows that Noah is both confident and conflicted about the Creator's expectations for him. Jennifer Connelly also does great work as Nameeh, Noah's wife. As Tubal-Cain, Ray Winstone makes a great villain. Another strong performance is by Emma Watson as Illa, who wants to build a life with Noah's oldest son. Although Noah saved her as a child, his intentions toward her as an adult shift as he tries to reconcile his family obligations with the signals he believes he is receiving from the Creator.
"Noah" is a thoughtful and exciting Biblical film.

Agreed! Alex Kidd had lots of games in its time too, but only the Enchanted Castle for the Mega Drive was a true sequel, and in my humble opinion, it was vastly inferior to Miracle World.

BIG part of my childhood... thanks for the great image.
hahaha nice dude! Reminds me the mastersystem II. Game was embed.
wow! I remember this!
God damn that brings me back. That was my first game on the SMS and one of the last I beat on it too. How was I supposed to know you had to read the tablet in reverse. The thought crossed my mind a couple of years after I gave up on it, went through it in a near perfect run and bragged to my parents that I finally had it beat. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Nice to see you doing such inspiring works for a retro generation
I like the little octopus in the background...

A climber falls to his death after a marriage proposal on the happiest day of his life. Brad Parker dies following a hike he took by himself to an upturned rock at Yosemite National Park. According to ABC News on Aug. 19, Parks was a veteran rock climber from North California. The events unfolded in the hours following a proposal he made to his girlfriend earlier that day while they were together at another climb.
Brad's girlfriend, Jainee Dial, said yes to his marriage proposal Saturday afternoon after they reached the top of Cathedral Peak. His father, Bill Parker, tells a local news source that it was the happiest day of his son's life.
After their romantic engagement, Brad Parker took off alone to climb Matthes Crest, a rocky ridge about three miles from Cathedral Peak.
Witnesses who spotted the climber before his death that evening -- saying he was climbing without ropes and fell on an "established route," according to the report citing Yosemite Park Ranger Kari Cobb.
When rangers hiked in to where Parker's body was at, they stayed with it overnight then were taken by helicopter the next day.
Brad's death is reportedly the second climbing death tat Yosemite in 2014. Cobb says that's the average yearly number.
Bill Parker thinks his son died from fatigue after the Cathedral Peak climb, as well as the run he made up to Matthes Crest.
Press Democrat reports that Brad Parker's ashes will be spread at different regions that he loved, such as Tuolumne Meadows area, the Pacific Ocean along the Sonoma Coast, and some in the ocean around Kauai; the Parkers relocated there eight months ago.
The climber's death after his marriage proposal to the woman he loved is hard to understand when it was the happiest day of his life and new adventures were about to launch.

This has been taken into consideration and I have lowered the price
